I am not an organized person. At least I haven't been for the first (almost) 40 years of my life. I strive to be and I truly believe if I had the space, time and the tools, I could do it. The problem is I think I may have too many tools and I don't know what to do with them. And did I mention I'm not very good at organizing my time?
But I'm trying.
We moved earlier this summer into a bigger home, with a lot of storage areas. I have more cabinets in my kitchen then I know what to do with. I have draws like crazy that are just screaming – put stuff in me. So I did that – I put stuff in them. But now I can't find anything I need because I'm not sure what is in what draw.
I did find a cabinet to dedicate to my k-cups because I like having a variety on hand for when I'm in the mood for something different. Having them in our pantry cabinet just wasn't working because it's too deep and I had no idea what I had. Now I can see exactly what I have! My first organized cabinet!
(yes those are lifesaver bags on top of my boxes. My husband needed someplace to put the many bags of lifesavers I purchased for him. This is what he found!)
Now that pretty much all our boxes are finally unpacked (thanks Mom and Dad!) I can start to organize my house one draw, cabinet, closet and shelf at a time. I've put a lot of thought into it and have spent a lot of time on Pintrest looking at organizing ideas. I even found some blogs that have awesome ideas.
Now it's time to implement them.
One site I read was all about having bins/baskets/decorative boxes for everything and labeling them. I thought something like that may work for me. If it is labeled it may get put back in its place. While browsing through CVS last week, I found some plastic bins that were 50% off and grabbed a few for my draws and immediately used them. I won't label these as they aren't really the 'labeling' type but if things don't get put back in place, perhaps I will!
Here is what I did…
I have two narrow draws in my kitchen island that are very useful, if used well. I should have taken a before picture to show you how things were just tossed in this draw.
I love the bag clips from Pampered Chef and we use them all the time so we have a lot of them. They were in our 'junk' draw (which is totally unorganized) and we couldn't fish them out. So now they have their own spot and my husband as been instructed to keep putting them back in the right spot. I've also decided to put some utensils I don't use everyday in draws rather than on the counter top (I strive to have empty counters!). So the other bin has my Pampered Chef tongs that I love, but use only a half a dozen times a month. Since there was a little more room in there, I put our wine bottle stoppers in there that again, we use just a few times a month if that, but I want to have them handy.
That little bag you see off to the right is our Box Tops. They were just tossed into the draw and now they are in a nice bag and when it's time to send them off to school, they are all bagged up!
This is just the beginning and I'm working on things everyday and I'll share more. But I'd love to hear your ideas of how to get organized and stay organized. So please share!

I was talking to my ex husband last night on the phone and the conversation turned to politics. I asked him who he was voting for, his reply: "McCain". Then I asked him "why?", his reply was: "Sarah Palin is HOT and Obama is a Muslim who wasn't born in the US". *scratching chin* Evidently Hawaii has done what Palin hoped Alaska would do and they've become their own country, and the new name for Christianity is "Muslim". I then asked my ex, "Bill, what are McCain's policy's, where does he stand on the issues?"... >crickets< ... more >crickets< .. I found that funny because that's the same thing I've seen here in the blogs. Everyone can easily smear Obama, but it seems no one can tell me what they feel are McCain's attributes! Interesting!
Moral of the Story: You don't have to stand for anything so long as you're good at distorting the truth of your opponent.
Note: I'd think at this point, since every vote counts, people would spend time trying to change my vote in a way that would work, instead of bonding with those who are already planning to vote for McCain by slinging mud at Obama. But then again, sometimes logic just doesn't make sense to some!
My favorite response to asking fellow bloggers to teach me to LOVE their candidate verses trying to get me to hate mine:
"It's not my job to educate you".
Translation: "I don't know McCain's attributes"!
Cute little tidbit: My ex husband graduated from an Ivy league college with a degree in Political Science!

Angie that's been my experience as well. Every time I hear someone saying Obama is a Muslim and not a citizen, I've discovered the person doesn't have a clue about where the candidates stand on the issues. They're just trying to tear down one candidate. Often I suspect that it's their convenient way of attacking him because of his race. At least that's been my experience from the people that have pulled that on me.

Okay, girlie!! That "Ivy League School" shot was meant for me! (grin) and you missed, because I conveniently ducked behind my own "well rounded" education! Sure, Berkeley-setters and Ivy Leaguers can vote - even believe - republican. Happens (hopefully) all the time. It's the Molotov people we can do without!
Distortion is distortion and truth is truth. If one distorts the truth, it's PC-speak for a lie. There is still no clear answer on BOs citizenship. None. Disregarding his "faith", I'd like to know a little more about his allegiance ... from his own mouth. Why is this so difficult? This is nothing related to his "stand" upon the issues. We're all pretty clear on those! It's a requirement for the job. We wanna know who the heck you are! Of course, being an American in heart would help. He fails this test, too. Placing two or three different birth certificates on the web to "back" his "non-claim" didn't help his case. McCain answered these questions of himself honestly and quickly.
You can go to the store and WANT to buy all the goodies you can fit in the cart, but unless your wallet supports it, you're coming home with beans and weenies. BO WANTS all these high-dollar things, but amid the "blame Bush" financial crisis - from which we still haven't found a way out - The most the wallet is gonna support is bologna. And it looks like we're gonna have plenty for the next four years.

I take offense to your post about your fellow republican bloggers. You said, "It's not my job to educate you".
Translation: "I don't know McCain's attributes"!
Well guess what...YOU should already know McCain's stance. If you dont, how do you know he isn't the candidate for you.
As for me...I may not know all of either candidates platforms, but I can tell you what I do know...
1. B.O. has ties (no matter how limited they may be) to known terrorists.
2.B.O. plans to hand out money to people who dont pay into the federal tax system (THATS WELFARE).
3. B.O. wants to cut military spending 25%. I can tell you for fact that our military is stretched to its breaking point. Making our military any less stronger than what we already are will cripple us WHEN (not if) another 9-11 happens.
You're right Angie, I may not know McCains stance on everything. But the above mentioned is all I need to know about B.O. to make me say "no" change.

Angie, you still don't have an answer to your question, do you? We have Paul saying he's offended, and both Solie and Paul either attacking or pointing out what's wrong with O, but not one word as to McCain's attributes or policies, which is a legitimate question to ask.

Jim ~ I agree with you! Using my ex as an example once more, I (and his son) truly believe he's voting how he's voting because of Race and no other reason.

Solie ~ the Ivy League comment really wasn't directed at you (though I'm glad you chose to duck out of the way because the next time.. ya never know), it was a comment as to my ex's education level and his major. I find it odd that he has false and shallow reasons for voting for McCain, yet can't tell me a single thing that McCain (or Obama for that matter) stands for.. Sadly enough, there are so many others just like him!
I'm actually glad you chose to respond to this blog. If anyone were to take my "challenge" and truly wanted to try to sway me to the other side, I believe that not only would you be complete and thorough with your points, but you'd be quite convincing in the process! You (and a few others including Martha) speak to me with a mature, rational tongue without resorting to belittling me or being condescending! That is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Paul, my statement regarding lack of knowledge was not directed at all my fellow Republican bloggers (or you for that matter), it was directed solely at the one person who chose to make that statement to me! Said person has questioned my level of intelligence and common sense on more than one occasion, yet they seem to fail at answering a simple request (that, let me point out, wasn't made towards them in the first place).
Response ~~> Singular
Translation ~~> Singular as well!
I say what I mean Paul, and if I meant it as a plural mud'sling, I would have stated it as such!
Now, stop being offended and give me a big ol' SMILE! =)
As far as you questioning my level of knowledge, yes, I'm quite familiar with McCain's stance on many issues, I've also compared his stance to Obama's! But, just like you, I can't possibly know everything now can I? Thus, hearing other's interpretations of McCain's policies and stances on issues MAY just sway me! Unlike the Obama haters that are evident in these blog postings, I have an open mind! I'm willing to listen to the positive with a non-biased ear! But, all I hear, unfortunately, is mud'linging and condensation. Since every vote counts and y'all know that trashing my candidate doesn't work with me, I'd think you'd try to teach me the error of my ways by singing McCain's praises!
My question next would be to the street walkers who hold up the McCain signs and wave at people who pass by. If someone walked up to you and said: "Without trashing Obama, please tell me why I should vote for your candidate". Would the response be a condescending: "It's not my job to educate you"? If they pulled such a stunt my guess is, McCain himself or his campaign directors would yank that person off the street so fast their head would spin! So, why is it acceptable here in the blogs to be so ugly when it wouldn't be acceptable in public?
Once again, is the ugliness really necessary?

Sue ~ I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never get that answer. Since every vote does count and no one cares to even attempt to sway mine, then I shall go to the voting booth and cast my vote for Obama!
Obama and President Clinton will be here in central Florida again tomorrow night.. it sucks though as my son has a scheduling conflict so once again, we'll be missing yet another piece of history being made! =(
By the way.. I'm a duck! *smile* I'll reply to your PM shortly.

Angie, we're all very passionate about events unfolding this election year. As you have said, many people don't go into near enough detail in whatever research they do on the candidate of their choice. The acid test is when one asks, like you did, what it is about a particular platform that makes someone for or against a candidate. Silence, in a case like that, is truly sad. I would much rather like to hear what people actually like about Obama than how hozed up McCain is, and vice-versa as odd as it seems. I could write a few items about what I like in McCain. I could give you a UPS pup trailer full of reasons I don't like Obama. This is my stand even discounting the untrue stuff about him.

Ya know Solie, I'm not ignorant nor am I lacking common sense (as has been stated, but not by you), but my desire to hear alternate positive view points got me labeled as such. I sincerely wanted to hear what everyone was thinking about their candidate of choice.. not because I hadn't done my own research, but simply because none of us knows everything, and everyone's interpretation of what we read and hear is subjective!
I have stifled my view point a lot in recent weeks, but after the rather comical conversation I had with my ex last night, I simply had to make this blog and open my big, opinionated mouth again!
Maybe in 4 years we can be less critical of the opposing candidate, and each other, and focus more on what our candidates bring to the table. I know, I know, I'm dreaming.. but a girl can hope ya know? =)
I was wondering the other day what we'll all talk about after the election was over.. then I realized, one candidate will win, the other will lose (profound observation huh? LOL).. so we'll be getting a lot of "I told you so's", and "can you believe he said/did this/that", "OMG, he just didn't [fill in the blank]", "My candidate would have never [blank]", etc... I don't think we'll be lacking in the continuation of this debate. =)

What really sucks, Angie is that I sorta indicted myself on the bad-mouthing thing. About the only defense I have - and it's not so good depending on whose side your on - is that the attention seems terribly stacked in favor of bad-mouthing my guy. Or the closest thing TO my guy given the choices. So subrerrainously (I made that up) I really feel the need to level the playing field. I'm just not good with earth-moving equipment.

OK Angie ... and Sue .... Your point is well received. We *have* mentioned those things about the McCain camp that make him our choice. You might need to scan several blogs to see them, but they're there. Here's the Reader's Digest condensed version from the pastry guy:
1) Abortion. McCain speaks to it in words I agree with. No "hibbity-bibbity side-stepping", "not my paygrade" crap. He said his stance in under 3 seconds. Free and cruel abortions meant to avoid the punishment of children and eliminate parental responsibility have no place in this country. Rape and incest are taken into account.
2) Jobs. Here. Cutting down the huge federal bureaucracy full of do-nothing gravy jobs so that money can be returned or retained by people who can provide jobs in this country ... that produce something!
3) Continuation of (relatively) decent funding for the military. We'll never see 250,000 troops or a 600 ship navy again, but Obama wants to slash it where it stands now. Bad move imho. Billy-boy Clinton, not unlike Bill Ayers didn't do enough for Obama apparently.
4) I think I can expect a rational appointment to the Supreme Court from a President McCain. If we don't do something quickly to un-do the terrible hack job the liberals have done on our courts, we're toast. I don't wanna be toast.
As I have said before, McCain is not my ideal candidate, but Obama is so far from anything I stand for that I actually WOULD write in Mickey Mouse if it meant defeating him.

I posted thoughts on the McCain's stance on the issues. I will say I view politics like religion. I have free will to decide and I don't try to sway anyone to join my religion nor to vote for my candidate. In order to vote, most people pretty much had to look at all parties involved and their issues and decide. So I don't think there is any "swaying" involved.
Besides why would you even want us to try to sway you to vote for McCain, according to you and Jim - He isn't educated enough to be in office. According to you and Jim's comments on this blog, you guys view us as uninformed and stupid too. You two are no different when it comes to tearing down the other candidate. You guys just think your reasoning and points of view are more valid then ours. And, for some reason, Jim loves to throw in the race thing. You yourself stated on one of our blogs that you didn't think he would be elected before of his race. We didn't!
Personally I don't think Obama is Black, so its not race for me. I think he is a Socialist! Plain and simple.

Martha, regarding the swaying of votes, EVERYONE (you, me, the media, and the candidates) do it! Every time you post something negative, the hope is that it will strike a nerve with a supporter of his and maybe they'll see the light and vote differently! Why do you think the candidates use smear campaigns??? It's to turn people away from the opposition! They do work with a great deal of voters!! If that tactic wasn't successful, then it wouldn't be utilized at all! I'm not like most though, I'd much rather be swayed by the positive than the negative! I like hearing the passion about the attributes their candidates have! I like hearing their interpretation of the written and spoken word! I'm not so much a fan of twisting the truth or stretching it so far that it almost breaks! But, then again, I never claimed to be part of the norm!
Regarding McCain, never ONCE did I question his level of education. With the exception of a few things (like his choice of Palin, and when he chose to focus 100% of his campaigning on smears), I've NOT said a bad word about him! I have a great deal of respect for the man, and I would never tarnish a man who has not only fought for our country but who was a POW! Heck, I absolutely hate it when they say he was never tortured as a POW, and try to say that he lied about everything while in captivity! Regardless of his treatment (and I pray he wasn't tortured), the fact of the matter is that he was held as a prisoner of war, against his will, and for that, and that alone, he deserves our respect! I may smear Palin a bit, and I may post McCains campaign lies against Obama, but I will never disrespect that man!
Just like Obama, if McCain is elected, I do believe he'll be a good president! We may not see eye to eye on quite a few topics, but as a President, he'll do the best he can!
Thank goodness for the checks and balance system!! I know y'all worry that Obama will be another Castro (LOL, that still makes me laugh), but you need not worry. There is protocol in place to prevent that from ever happening and y'all know that! The president can TRY to get whatever they want passed through congress, but congress doesn't have to pass it.. Thus if it's totally asinine, there's enough members in our Government to over turn it so we need not worry!

Solie, I appreciate you taking the time to show case the attributes that McCain has that are most meaningful for you! You still had to toss an Obama dig or two in there for good measure though.. which made me laugh!
What I find to interesting about these blog debates we've been in is the amount of passion the Republican's show against not only the Democratic party, the Democratic candidate, but also those who support the Democratic candidate. If we could bottle up that passion and turn it into usable fuel, we'd never have a shortage again!! LOL

Honestly Angie I post what I believe to be the truth as I see it about Obama. You call your postings "McCain's campaign lies against Obama" I call mine "Obama hiding his associations and true agenda from the American people".
As for checks and balances and me thinking him a socialist. I believe thats where appointments of federal judges and supreme court justices along with a democratic majority in congress and reductions in the military come into play in my book. After he leaves office, they carry on his legacy.

Angie, the "digs" were just for your benefit, and it probably would have sounded more intelligent without them. I have to say again, that I am NOT against you, Jim, Sue, JTP, JSR or E=MC^2 ... I am against Obama. Yes, if the democratic party loves this guy, then I'm against that, too. Policy, not persona. Big difference. I don't need to know your background, 'cuz you're in the same boat I am. Obama is gonna have the button ... you betcha I wanna know every dang thing I can about him.
We have yet to see a believable birth certificate for ol' BO. Why?
Reverend "God Damn America" presided at Obama's wedding etc.., but questioning BO's religious beliefs is off limits, or we're racist? Why? As my pastor would say, "What's up with THAT?"
Nobody knows anything about this guy's past, because it's locked up tighter than Yucca Mountain. Why?
These are real, non-racist "Why's" and they command answers. Changing the focus to some sort of racial attack is part and parcel of a leftist's tactics. I'll bet conservatives stay married longer on average than liberals. Any data chasers out there?

Solie, where was McCain born? Was he born on American soil???
Seriously, do you think Obama would have gotten as far as he has if he WEREN'T a natural born citizen of the US? The lawsuit by that PA yahoo was thrown out of court! This by far is the most ludicrous slander campaign thus far!
I don't care if you've seen his birth certificate, or I've seen it, or Samuel the Planted by the Republican Party Plumber has seen it... the powers that be HAVE seen it and verified it which is exactly why that idiot got his lawsuit thrown out of court! What a great way to self promote!
BTW, for the most part, I don't think anyone is against anyone here in the blogs.. we just have very strong differing views! Personally, I like you and Martha a whole lot! =)

Senator John McCain was born on a military base in the Canal Zone, he is a "natural born" citizen qualified to serve as president under the Constitution.
"[8 U.S.C. 1403](a) Any person born in the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904, and whether before or after the effective date of this chapter, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such person was or is a citizen of the United States, is declared to be a citizen of the United States."
What powers at be have seen it Angie? Obama has his records sealed up tight. How do you know that his records have been seen, were you there?
In June 2008, New Hampshire resident Fred Hollander, who has filed a suit in U.S. District Court claiming that the Republican candidate is "not a natural born citizen." In an attempt to prove his argument, the 49-year-old computer programmer filed a subpoena last month seeking McCain's birth certificate. It goes both ways and the guy berg the filed his against Obama is a democrat too. lol

Actually, Angie .. when John McCain was born, CZ was US territory, I believe. Certainly the base is considered to be.

I asked you if McCain was born on American soil, and the answer to that is NO! He may be a natural born citizen, but he was not born on American soil! You didn't need to cite that clause as I was fully aware of it, but his citizenship wasn't my question!
And NO, I wasn't there *eyeroll*.. but I trust in our system that all the i's have been dotted and all the t's have been crossed regarding Obama's citizenship! I mean seriously, give me a break!

Angie - from my perspective, BO probably is legit on all fronts. Qualifications, BCs ... all that stuff. The people who always seem to wear black suits are pretty dang good at that stuff. It's the overall lack of disclosure that bothers me. Obama simply is not disclosing -- indeed, is actually roadblocking any attempts by the public to seriously look into his remume. I fully expect a thinking public to raise eyebrows on this. With as many legitimate questions as have been raised - partisan or not - unless the skeletons are pretty damning, what's the problem?
Some are betting the skeletons are VERY damning, and being as objective as I can so as to ease your wrath, I can't blame them.

As the Oklahoma City Thunder exited their team charter after landing in Chicago shortly after 1 a.m. CT Saturday, they were greeted by a surprising sight: a large dent in the nose of the plane. Multiple players took to social media to post about the bizarre situation, but the team said everyone is safe and sound, and the flight landed as planned and on schedule at Midway International Airport.Carmelo
Anthony posted an image of the dented plane with the caption, "What could we have possibly hit in the SKY at this time of night? Everyone is safe, though." The plane "likely encountered a bird" during its descent, a Delta Air Lines spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the aircraft landed safely. A team official said the flight was a little rough, but not extreme or out of the ordinary. READ MORE

USB (Universal Serial Bus), is an interface for connecting a computer and peripheral devices such as a printer, digital camera, scanner etc. It is a standard connection used to connect, communicate and transfer data. A USB port on a computer or a laptop is called as a receptacle, it is a slot that is used to connect a host to other devices via the USB cable. A connector on the ends of a USB cable is called as the plug. Before starting to explore different types of USB cables, let's first understand what are the different USB standards.
USB Standards/Version
USB 1.0 – Introduced back in the year 1996, it had a data transfer rate of 1.5 Mbit/s (Low Speed). The revised USB 1.1, released in the year 1998, had a transfer rate of 12 Mbit/s (Full Speed).
USB 2.0 – Introduced in the year 2000, it has a data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s (i.e. 60 MB/s) and defines a High-Speed USB transfer mode. Today, every USB port you see will support at least USB 2.0 if not USB 3.0 or USB 3.1. Although this is faster than the previous USB 1.1 standard, it is still much slower than what USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) and USB 3.1 Gen 2 offers.
USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) – Introduced in the year 2008, it supports a data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s (i.e. 0.6 GB/s or 625 MB/s) and defines a SuperSpeed USB transfer mode. It performs 10x faster and better than the previous USB 2.0 standard in terms of performance and power management.
USB 3.1 Gen 2 – Introduced in the year 2013, it supports a data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (i.e. 1.25 GB/s or 1250 MB/s) and defines a SuperSpeed+ USB transfer mode. It delivers double the speed of USB 3.1 Gen 1. This is the latest and the fastest USB standard out there currently (at the time of writing this article). It is backward compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) and USB 2.0.
However, to practically achieve a maximum data transfer rate, all the USB ports and cable types must be of same USB standard/version.
USB Types & Standards
USB Connectors (Types)
A cable with USB 2.0 or 3.0 standard refers to the speed and performance of the cable, whereas a USB type-A or a USB type-B refers to a physical shape of a connector.
Consider an example of a USB cable used to connect a computer and a printer, the end of the cable plugged into the computer is called a Type-A (rectangular shaped) connector and the other end plugged into the printer is called a Type-B (square shaped) connector.
The connectors on the ends of a USB cable are a USB Type-A and Type-B male connectors while the USB ports on a computer and peripheral devices are USB Type-A and Type-B female connectors.
Next, there are two ways you can recognize USB 3.0 ports and cables. A USB 3.0 ports and cables have a blue coating inside their plug and receptacles.
Another way to identify a USB 3.0 port and cable is by observing the symbol. It'll be beside the ports and over the cable.
The symbol on the left refers to USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0). The one on the right refers to USB 3.1 Gen 2.
Now the latest plug design that's starting to grab attention is the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. Just like USB Type-A and Type-B, USB-C is also compatible with USB 3.0/3.1.
This newest plug design is starting to become popular because of number of things, such as
- Size – It is a tiny connector roughly the size of a micro-USB. It is smaller than the Type-A and Type-B connectors.
- Data Transfer – Since it is USB 3.1 compatible it can support a data transferring rate of 10 Gbit/s (i.e. 1.25 GB/s).
- Power – It can carry up to 100 watts of power, usually a laptop consumes about 30-60 watts of power. So this USB Type-C ports are capable of charging a laptop.
- Reversible – It is backward compatible with USB Type-A and Type-B connectors. It is reversible, meaning you can hold it anyway and it'll fit in the first try, every time, unlike Type-A connectors.
USB-C cable has Type-C plugs present at both ends. It's gaining adoption because those massive USB Type-A and B ports just don't fit in smaller and thinner devices. Currently, USB-C is in the transition phase, as there are too many computers and peripheral devices that support only USB Type-A and Type-B receptacles and plugs, to adopt USB-C completely. For now, connecting USB-C devices to USB Type-A or Type-B compatible devices can be done by using different adapters.
Some of the devices that support USB-C are Apple's 2015 12-inch MacBook, 2016 13-inch, and 15-inch MacBook Pro, Chromebook Pixel; smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy Note 7, Huawei Nexus 6P, LG Nexus 5X and headphones such as the JBL Reflect Aware C, and SanDisk Ultra flash drive to name a few.
Due to its tiny size, high power delivery and data transfer rates, it'll most likely replace all the different ports across all the devices. There will be only one type of port for all the necessities such as charging, transferring data from flash drive, connecting peripherals and even connecting headphones.

Scott Heiferman: Working at Google vs. Working at Meetup
Scott Heiferman has a few thoughts on Working at Google vs. Working at Meetup.
Google: "At Google, you get free snacks stocked by Snack Googlers."
Meetup: "At Meetup, there's this fruit stand around the corner. Bananas are 25 cents. The dude gives you a free plastic bag."
Ironically, Scott published this using Google Docs. ;)
I say, "Sign me up, Scott." I love bananas...

More than the Poor Cousin? The emergence of community foundations as a new development paradigm
Hodgson, J., and Knight, B. (2010) Johannesburg, South Africa: Global Fund for Community Foundations
This paper seeks to document a significant development - the emergence over 15 years of community foundations in a range of diverse low and middle-income contexts from the Global South - from Brazil to Thailand and from South Africa to Azerbaijan. The evidence gathered from these foundations - admittedly a small group - points to the growing relevance of locally formulated community development. This marks a shift away from the top-down strategies of many government and international aid programmes towards 'people-led development'.
The sets out findings from a baseline study of 50 applications for grants from the Global Fund for Community Foundations. The paper uses information gained from the processes of assessing the grants to learn lessons about the state of the field, what it can contribute in terms of outcomes and impact, and hypotheses in taking forward work of this nature.
The report is available in several languages:

Too Many Books, Supplements and Programs If I read 1 good valid murder mystery book, would I really want that to be the ONLY book on the subject? If my 8th grade history book was considered to be accurate by the majority would I really want to be limited to only knowing one author's thoughts on the subject? Or how about browsers and music players? Do I just want to use IE? It gets the job done well enough. So what's the difference between those analogies and fitness ebook, supplements and programs? Really there's no difference to me. Let me explain as I know there's a million web sites http://www.nhlteamredwingsshop.com/Customized/ , book, supplements, and training programs. And for a beginner it's like: Where do I start?!When I first started off, there were a few major books on the subject (Arnold Encyclopedia) and of course the main muscle magazines. That is where I learned my information from. And locker room chat and so called friends. I was on the quest in the 10th grade to put on weight. A guy who was bigger then me gave me some golden advice. He said "Just eat everything man. Candy bars whatever." With that, I agreed that in order to get bigger and more muscular, I needed to eat. So at break, I ate an Snickers bar every day. Needless to say http://www.nhlteamredwingsshop.com/ , I didn't get any bigger, I probably put on a tiny bit of fat and the dentist was happier. But when you don't have a lot of resources, it's pretty hard to judge. I look back on that memory fondly. With the power of the Internet and the people coming out of the woodwork as experts, now there's so much information, sometimes it's the same situation, only there's many voices. But I still like the fact that I have many choices. If a person was ONLY to read the Max-OT guide, would they be alright? I'd say they would be better off then nothing but http://www.nhlteamredwingsshop.com/Red-Wings-Xavier-Ouellet-Authentic-Jersey/ , they wouldn't be a good, well-rounded fitness type. And I'm not making any negative judgments about Max-OT. I love that program! But think of the person who: Reads this message board for as much information as they can (conflicting or not) Buys eBooks and reads thru them to understand many perspectives Understand nutrition on a basic level as well as more advanced Knows of many training programs (can workout in a full gym or at home with nothing) Visits other sites to see videos of proper techniques Listens to advice in the gym but has a foundation to tell if the advice is accurate or base-less and knows of research outlets if it warrants further debate The.

The KMA whitemail experiment epilogue
All fundraising results are highly measurable but no one is easier to scrutinize than direct response marketers. My hat is off to you.
Surveying the stacks of direct mail appeals on every level surface of my office, I am struck by the evidence of talent, effort, passion and technique on display. And I think "Direct mail is not a job for the faint of heart."
That's true of fundraising in general of course. In many charities, fundraising results may be the only truly measurable activity – revenue generated and costs incurred. In fundraising, the 'soft" deliverables don't get much weight: a charity may measure a drop-in by how many people show up, but measuring "lives changed" often eludes us. Yet we can parse to the penny our fundraising results.
And organizations do evaluate their fundraisers. Yet within fundraising, there are also hierarchies of risk-taking and exposure to measurement.
Perhaps the most intrepid are the face-to-face fundraisers: door-to-door canvassers, the people at a display in the mall, the cheerful people who approach you on the sidewalk, often young and always underpaid. Then too, the successful phone canvasser is a special breed, with a high tolerance for rejection and hostility. Successful ones feed off the human interaction, and enjoy making the sale, one person at a time. And the great ones create a good experience for the donor as well. So too, the major gift officer. All face-to-face fundraisers are judged almost entirely by their results, but most get a charge from the interaction itself and may also enjoy the camaraderie of being part of a team fanning out across a neighbourhood or making calls.
Few such compensations are available to the direct-response fundraiser. The people who do direct-response can't feed off the energy of a personal engagement with a donor prospect. Fundraisers may be relieved when the mail drops and high-five as a team if they made deadline, but the underlying vibe is anxiety – waiting days or weeks while the question hangs: will this mailing perform as well or better than others, or well enough?
In my opinion, their is the most merciless role, because they depend almost entirely on numbers to nurture their enthusiasm and commitment. Their war stories tend to not to be about winning over a donor, but about confrontations with printers, data services and Canada Post. The difference between success or failure is razor thin, and by definition a vast majority of people will say "no" to your latest appeal. Human variables aren't given much weight when the results are minutely analyzed up the food chain.
There are proven principles for direct response, and a boggling array of techniques with which to experiment. You can vary the outer envelope colour, type, photo, shape, and texture; you can fine-tune the length, format, typeface and type size of the letter. You can adjust the use of illustrations, celebrity endorsers, enclosures and premiums. You can entice donors by creating giving clubs and offering recognition or using the language of membership. Larger fundraisers test mailings rigorously and analyze the results, which dictate how all those variables will be deployed in the next mailing or to the next segment. Smaller ones sometimes can only guess.
Yet always there are factors you cannot control. We helped a client prepare and send an acquisition package with an outer envelope illustrated with a troubled-looking teenage girl and the statement "Some days I worry about what's coming." That letter arrived in mailboxes two days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Rather than revenue for our client, the letter generated mostly angry phone calls.
Of course, if you ignore lessons learned you will fail, and test results matter. Yet direct response fundraising is not hard science. Success comes from a blend of professional technique, luck, art and alchemy. To sustain enthusiasm and do consistently good work requires great commitment and drive.
A lot of that enthusiasm and drive is on display in my office. And I tip my hat to the people who put it there.

Today I drove 30 miles northeast of Atlanta to Gwinnett County, a collection of suburbs that has made its mark in minor league sports this year with the debut of the Gwinnett Braves, Atlanta's AAA team. Gwinnett is also home to the Gladiators of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) and they were the reason I was here as they were hosting the Charlotte Checkers in the second of back-to-back games.
The Arena at Gwinnett Center
Located in Duluth, the Gwinnett Center is an entertainment and convention complex that was expanded to include The Arena back in 2003. The Arena seats 11,500 for hockey and is also used as a concert facility, having hosted stars such as Bruce Springsteen and The Who.
Getting there from Atlanta takes about 30 minutes on I-85 north. Traffic moves quickly off the highway and I found that the parking situation was well organized. There's a large parking deck attached to the rink, which was a godsend today as it was pouring rain. Getting out was also simple; I was back on the highway about 5 minutes after getting in my car.
Almost all seats are in the lower bowl and cost $18 along the side and $14 behind the nets. These are game day prices, you can save a dollar if you purchase earlier, but of course, you'll pay the $3.50 TicketMaster convenience fee. There are about 6 rows in the upper deck but most of these are $21 club seats. There are $11 end zone seats in the second level, at but you might as well sit with the crowd who are loud and proud.
There are some reasonable food options, although major league prices are charged - a footlong hot dog is $3.75 for example. There are two large food sections along the concourse which offer a good variety including Mexican food, pizza and subs, and burgers. Part of the concourse is carpeted, a rare find in hockey rinks. There's also a nice trophy case that details the history of the team, in particular showing the wide variety of jerseys the team has used in their 7 years.
There's no scoreboard over center ice, but there are two scoreboards at either end of the arena, one of which is pictured above. In general, I found this arena to be well-designed - it's easy to find your seats even when the lights are dim as the row numbers on the stairs glow in the dark. The PA guy announces offside a bit too often, but I guess fans are still getting used to the subtleties of hockey.
All-in-all, a good place for a visit, but I'd recommend you get there a bit earlier. I showed up 15 minutes before the game and was surprised at how many people were buying tickets. It could have been due to the Teddy Bear Toss promotion (discussed below) as the announced crowd of 8,143 was nearly 3,000 more than their season average. Regardless, it took me ten minutes to get my ticket and by the time I reached my seat, the game had just started.
The Game
Charlotte scored two in the first, but Gwinnett notched a power play goal early in the second to halve the lead. With the PP goal, I won yet another free entree at Applebee's, my third in three nights. Of course, to get the free entree, you have to buy another entree which is not recommended for people dining alone. And you have to eat at Applebee's, which is not recommended in general.
Matt Caruana misses a golden opportunity
OK, both teams lacked touch around the net - this puck trickled away
But I digress. The Checkers scored again to regain a 2-goal cushion, but Pat Galivan replied with a shorthanded marker 8 seconds from the end of the period to bring the Gladiators back within one. In the third, Chris Higgins (not the NHL guy) drove a slap shot from the point behind Checkers keeper Miika Wiikman, a Rangers prospect pictured below.
Nice mask, keep dreaming
With the score tied at 3 and eight minutes to go, I noticed lots of fans deciding to leave. Again, why go to the game if the result doesn't matter to you? There's no traffic to beat here!
Anyway, neither team lit the lamp over the last half of the period, and we moved onto overtime, which decided nothing.
So it was onto the shootout, which has 5 shooters per team in the ECHL, compared to only 3 in the NHL. Charlotte took a 2-1 lead into the 5th round and it was up to Matt Caruana to keep the Gladiators alive. Wiikman looked nervous and sure enough Caruana beat him easily to send the shootout to overtime! After the #6 shooters missed, it was on to round 7. Charlotte's Tyler Doig couldn't score, so Gwinnett's Matt Francis had a chance to be the hero. He didn't disappoint, making a nifty backhand move to beat Wiikman and win the game for Gwinnett. The picture below shows Wiikman on his ass with the puck behind him.
It was another great Georgia ending for me on this trip, with all 3 games I've seen going to the last play. Sitting down low here allowed me to appreciate that even though this is the ECHL, the pace of the game is very fast. There were a lot of hits and some good passes and saves. Really an entertaining evening and with the large crowd, a totally enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for hockey fans in the south to try to see a game here.
Teddy Bear Toss
The promotion tonight was the Teddy Bear Toss, where fans bring in stuffed animals they no longer need. When the Gladiators score their first goal, fans are instructed to throw their toys on the ice; they are collected and given to charity. It's a great idea, but the fans didn't seem to know what a goal was. As the first period ended, there was a scramble in front of the Charlotte cage, but the puck never entered the net. Yet some overeager fans thought there was a goal and they threw their bears over the glass. Other people followed suit, and despite the PA announcer asking the fans to "Hold your bears!", it was too late. Over the next few minutes, thousands of stuffed toys were tossed onto the ice while bemused players skated off for the intermission.
It took a while to collect the bears (several pickup trucks and SUVs were required), which led to the game lasting nearly 3 hours. It's all for a worthwhile cause though, one of the more interesting promotions I've seen.
A young fan makes her contribution with a little help from Dad...
...adding to an already impressive collection
Lucky #13?
In an interesting coincidence, my ticket today was the same row and seat number as the game yesterday (row F, seat 13). Again, the home team pulled out a thrilling victory after being down early. Today was even more fortunate for me. My original seat had a poor view of the other end of the ice as the glass behind the benches obstructed the view somewhat. But next to me was a couple who had a friend with them. He was sitting down in the second row, so I offered to switch seats so he could sit next to his friends. He readily agreed and I moved to his seat two rows from the ice. It was much better being so close, and I enjoyed the rest of the game, although I got bonked on the head by a few teddy bears.
Tomorrow I'm driving to Knoxville, TN to watch my first game in the Southern Professional Hockey League. Look for a report on that game tomorrow night.

This introductory textual content is dedicated to exposing the underlying nature of fee formation in monetary markets as a predominantly sociological phenomenon that relates person decision-making to emergent and co-evolving social and fiscal structures.
Two various degrees of this sociological effect are thought of: First, we research how rate formation effects from the social dynamics of interacting participants, the place interplay happens both throughout the cost or via direct conversation. Then an identical tactics are revisited and tested on the point of bigger teams of individuals.
In this booklet, types of either degrees of socio-finance are offered, and it really is proven, specifically, how complexity conception presents the conceptual and methodological instruments had to comprehend and describe such phenomena. therefore, readers are first given a huge advent to the normal monetary thought of rational monetary markets and may come to appreciate its shortcomings with the aid of concrete examples. Complexity idea is then brought so one can effectively account for behavioral decision-making and fit the saw marketplace dynamics.
This ebook is conceived as a primer for rookies to the sector, in addition to for practitioners looking new insights into the sector of complexity technological know-how utilized to socio-economic platforms typically, and monetary markets and value formation in particular.

I don't know why, but I'm feeling very "thinky" today. As I'm sewing flying geese for a border on this quilt I'm working on I have a lot of thoughts running through my brain, all of them centered on family.
Our oldest son's mommy in law recently lost her mommy and we spent yesterday afternoon and evening at a memorial for her mommy, Ruby. A large group went and hung out at the casino because it was something that Ruby liked to do. My son's other family are fabulous people and we feel very fortunate to know them and very happy that he met and married his wife. We couldn't have asked for a better extended family for him and by association for us! We love her family!
The other thing I'm thinking a lot about is my maternal grandma since she is the one who got me started so many years ago quilting, but I ALWAYS think of her when I sew and a lot of times even when I'm not doing the thing she loved so much and spent so many hours of her life doing. My grandma and I were very close.
I'm also thinking a lot about my Dad with our first grandson about to be here.
When my paternal grandpa was in the hospital about to pass from this earth our oldest had just been born and was just teeny. I have a picture somewhere of Mike, myself, my Dad, my paternal grandmother and her mother in a picture at my Grandpa's wake. Anyway, while my grandpa was in the V.A. hospital he got two small quilts from one of the comfort charities that delivered quilts to terminal patients. He gave them to my Dad and told him to make sure his 'first great grandson' got them, that was my Mikey. We used those quilts until they were in tatters, I'm not sure where they ended up, likely they were in some stuff that got left or lost when I moved out of my parent's house.
When my Dad was in the hospital getting ready to pass from this earth he also received a small quilt from a quilting charity. He told the lady that gave it to him while I was standing there that he was going to make sure that his first great grandchild got that quilt because it was kind of a family tradition. He gave me the quilt after it had been on the foot of his hospital bed for a couple of days, he knew his time was short and he wanted to take care of things while he could still think around the drugs they were giving him. He told me he wanted Mike to have that quilt.
Mike has been holding on to that quilt for 7 years. When we went over for the baby shower they had Korben's room all set up and that quilt was hanging on the side of the crib. I don't know if Mike knew how close I was to losing it when I saw that. I didn't want my make-up to run with a house full of his friends and LaRae's family all around so I saved it until we got home.
I guess the gist is that I love making quilts because they have played such a huge part in my life and that part has always meant "family". As hubby will attest, I am a naturally impatient person. If I can't figure something out within about 5 minutes then I'm done and someone else can figure it out for me. The only thing I have patience for is quilting and sewing. If I can't figure something quilty out, I can sit for hours until I do figure it out, and I won't go look on the internet to see how someone else figured it out, I have to do it myself. Anyway, that's why I am so big into my hobby and fabric obsession. It reminds me of happy times with my grandma and to me it means love and family all rolled into one.
Selfish Sewing Update:
Working on the flying geese for the churn dash quilt that's made out of almost exclusively Global Bazaar and Kona Pepper.
Also... Korben a couple of weeks ago in a 3-D ultrasound! :D

Oh happy day! Oh happy day sings me.
Afternoon tea is always my cup of tea. We had guests over today and had a special request by Becky for scones for she had in her basket some Crabtree & Evelyn's tea and jams! Scones would be perfect with them! This is my favorite go to recipe for scones from Annie Eats! It is simple and oh so delicious! Also in anticipation of JT's birthday in late April; I decided to frost my butter cake with chocolate frosting and some Korean strawberries!
So afternoon tea today at one fine home was filled with strawberries, scones with jam, chocolate butter cream cake and earl grey tea with honey.
I miss the whiff of buttery scones coming through for oh so long! The jams that Becky brought along were Crabtree & Evelyn's Organic Raspberry jam, Organic strawberry jam and organic orange marmalade! I loved the raspberry jam; i never had a thing with jams – they were the husband's favorite! But these were lovely with the scones. My mouth is still watering from the thought of them scones. We baked 24 of them among 5 of us and it disappeared as soon as the photo taking was out of the way.
I truly enjoyed the company today!

Spooktacular brings creative and clever costumes to Page
Views 76 | Time to read: 3 minutes | Uploaded: 10 - 31 - 2017 | By: Tanner Roberts
This Saturday saw a cavalcade of ghouls, ghosts, and goblins descend on Page Hall multipurpose room, along with a number of cartoon characters and at least one tyrannosaur. Rather than anything nefarious, this supernatural horde came shambling up the Page Hill for for Spooktacular, WAC's annual Halloween party. WAC bedecked MPR with creepy decor; fake spiderwebs were in abundance, along with creepy lighting, glowing pumpkins, and appropriately spooky skeletons.
The event offered a number of activities, including photo-op's and a caricature artist. WAC members were also on hand to serve a variety of spooky-themed snacks and drinks. A mix of eighties jams and a few topical Halloween songs entertained partygoers for the evening. In the back, rows of tables offered students a chance to carve their own pumpkin, adding a variety of spooky and silly faces to the evening. "Pumpkin carving is the best," senior Leah Monica told the Horizon, hard at work digging the guts out of a squash.
As the evening progressed, more and more attendees started to show, bringing with them even more crazy costumes. One could spot an entire awkward family photo slowly making its way around the floor of the multipurpose room, and that's just for starters. Other highlights included a number of terrifyingly ghoulish makeup jobs, a David and Goliath pair couples costume, a gender-swapped Gandalf (replete with stockings and high-heels), and a Harry Potter with a distinctly un-magical broom.
The primary draw for most attendees was the opportunity to see the costumes of their fellow students. Said sophomore Carolyn Gruss, "I love seeing all the creative costumes. The Westmont inside jokes are the best. Like the preview student," pointing to an attendee bedecked in red and sporting a lanyard and map. Indeed, costumes proved to be the highlight of the show, with festivities coming to their head at the announcement of the winners of the costume contest. Four categories were offered, and the Westmont student body rose to the challenge. In the category of Craftiest, Grace Schurz won for her impressive jellyfish costume, comprised of a clear umbrella, paper streamers, and glowsticks. "I'm very excited to win," she said, "since I've been working on the costume since August!" The award for funniest costume went to the trio of Gabriel McEwen, Daniel Pratt, and Sean Nakaoka, for their "fresh out of the shower" idea. And finally, the Ms. and Mr. Most Creative awards went to Abby Park and Jared Huff, for a wonderful egg costume and a startlingly faithful interpretation of famed TV painter Bob Ross, respectively.
At the end of the night, the partygoers slowly trickled away as the eighties tunes came to a close, taking heart in the fact that the event would be back next year. In the meantime, Halloween proper would have to suffice, but Spooktacular would remain the ultimate Halloween experience.

It's time once again for a spinning wrap-up post. It's not anything to do with Tour de Fleece, just my regular turns at wheel and spindles. As usual, spinning here at Mmm… Yarn goes in spurts: I spin every couple of days for a while, then both wheel and spindles sit doing nothing for weeks at a time. Production has been good despite this.
In 2007 I went to Lambtown for the first time and came home with a sack of 2-color Jacob fiber from Meridian Jacobs:
It sat around, not because spinning up this much was daunting, but because (1) every time I looked at it (not often) I was undecided whether to spin each color separately or create a marled yarn and (2) I didn't want to give up a great means of handwarming. This stuff is so warm that whenever my hands were cold I plunged them into the bag for a few minutes. In October I finally said "marl it!", split the entire bundle in half, roughly separated it into its two colors, and quickly spun up 2 plies of each color. Instead of resting overnight on the bobbins it rested 3 months (remember what I said about spinning going in spurts?); in January I plied it.
Fiber: 100% Jacob from Meridian Jacobs in Vacaville, CA
Quantity: 8.5 ounces (238 grams)
Finished yarn: 4-ply, 158 yards
Spun 10/1-10/9/2011 at 15:1 and plied 1/15/2012 at 7:1 on a Lendrum wheel
The fiber had plenty of lanolin left in it plus a fair bit of vegetable matter that I had to pick out as I spun. I didn't worry about spinning it evenly, decided to go for a rustic yarn. I had 10g of natural brown left over at the end so I made 19 yards of skinny little 2-ply:
I believe I should knit a set of rectangular coat pocket liners with this stuff to replace my Big Sack of Warm-Handed Goodness, because I do miss it. Even in nearly August.
I was quicker to spin and ply this merino and silk blend from Opulent Fibers. I had taken a spindling class in December in which I learned to spin over the fold. This is my first go at spinning over the fold while on a wheel. The result is decidedly thick and thin:
Fiber: Merino/Tussah Top by Opulent Fibers; 70% super-fine merino, 30% Tussah silk
Color: Lace (their name for it, not mine; I call it dark tan)
Quantity: 2 ounces
Finished yarn: 2-ply, 64 yards
Spun 1/16 and plied 1/17/2012 at 12:1 on a Lendrum wheel
While the new drafting technique definitely contributed to the thick and thin effect in the finished yarn, I can't say it's necessarily the main reason. I found drafting this evenly to be difficult in general. It's some pretty slippery stuff which is not what I usually experience with Tussah silk. Maybe it's the super-fineness of the merino that made it more slippery. Tussah is usually more grabby and I have problems with clumping rather than with fiber slipping so fast I can barely hold on to it.
This green merino is some of the first spinning fiber I ever bought. I remember I used some of it early on when I first learned to spin but was so discouraged that I didn't want to use my "good" fiber on bad skill. I spun up the rest of it in May. It was my usual merino experience: smooth and easy.
Fiber: 100% merino by Widdershin Woolworks
Quantity: 80g
Finished yarn: 2-ply, 128 yards
Spun over the fold in May, plied 5/20/2012, both on a 35g Kundert high-whorl spindle
A Verb For Keeping Warm had some temptingly pink Blue Face Leicester that caught my eye during the spindling class in December and I bought two 2-ounce bundles of it.
Fiber: 100% Blue Face Leicester by A Verb For Keeping Warm
Quantity: 115g
Finished yarn: 2-ply, 174 yards
Spun over the fold, ply 1 on 2/20, ply 2 on 5/21, and plied on 5/25/2012 all at 15:1 on a Lendrum wheel
My over the fold draft has gotten far better here! I find BFL easy to work with in general. The fiber grabs the next bit of itself so neatly that I was able to relax and just let each fold pull the next one. The only time I had to slow down was when joining the next bunch of fiber.
There's more spinning but this is enough of a post for one day. I need to get back to my knitting. My mom is visiting me next week and I'd like her to have at least a half-finished body of a sweater to try on then and as I write this, the body is only 25% done.

Certifiable Studios is made up of four of the most…interesting individuals in board game design (one of their number habitually never wears trousers…I'm not sure why). Last year they put out one of the finest, most hilarious, most enjoyable Kickstarter campaigns I have ever seen or been a part of with Endangered Orphans of Condyle Cove (EO). It smashed through their humble goal of $4,097, made a laughing stock of each and every one of their Stretch Goals and then they even went on to invent Anti-Stretch Goals (personally I'm most looking forward to my Mississippi Air). So, while Endangered Orphans makes its way across the ocean to my eagerly awaiting hands Team Certifiable have brought us Who Goes There? to coax our bank/credit cards from our wallets.
Who Goes There? (WGT) Is a co-op game for 3 to 6 players based upon the Retro Hugo Awarding winning novella of the same name by John Campbell (you may be more familiar John Carpenter's The Thing which is also based on the novella). In this game, players must survive the arctic winter to escape on the helicopters at the end of the game, but, by the end of the game not everyone will be who they started out as, paranoia will run rampant through this game as you trade items and food to better prepare yourselves for another arctic night, but you never know when you might pick up an infection from the Thing.
Jesse, from the team, was kind enough to spare me some time to answer some questions about the game and campaign.
From EO to Who Goes There? You have moved from an original concept to an IP, so I guess the first question is, what was so appealing about Campbell's work that inspired that move?
Simply put, I loved it! It's interesting, though, because I loved the movie first (all three of them, actually). When Carpenter was asked to make The Thing, his response was how much he loved the original movie (1951) when he was younger. It wasn't until he later found out it was first a book. Although he was planning on doing a remake of the original movie, he enjoyed the book so much that he wanted to create that. After hearing this, I figured the book must be something special, and I fell in love with it as well.
What new challenges did you face bringing this thing to life?
After reading "Who Goes There?" a few times, it seemed like the obvious next step was making a game with the same feel. But I just knew there would be a tonne of obstacles before we could even think about doing a WGT? titled tabletop game because of licensing and rights issues.
Rick said we won't know until we try, so he went after it. Next thing I know, we're all shooting up high-fives! Boy, that Rick, he sure can surprise us by sometimes getting something right.
What were the key features you simply knew you had to have in this game?
I think some of the most identifiable factors we just had to utilise first and foremost was the shapeshifter factor. Without that, we really wouldn't relate to the book at all.
Then there is the tension with the all-male crew. No privacy, no women, no escape and no trust…that's just asking for trouble. And of course, you can't have WGT? without McReady. This is another hats off moment to Carpenter. He REALLY captured his character by casting Kurt Russell. Nailed it!
It was odd because when working on WGT?, I felt compelled to bring in elements from the movie because I think if it weren't for that, a lot of us wouldn't know about the book. But at the same time, you must honour the book, because without that…we wouldn't have the movie
We believe there are 3 things that make this game fun and a bit unique.
Our favourite one is that when you start out, EVERYONE is human. There are no traitors among the team, no secret missions, and no objective that make you want to beat your teammate at achieving. It's a true co-op game. As the game goes on, players must start taking risks out in the cold. They do this to gain bonuses that they ABSOLUTELY NEED at the end of the game. The problem is this is where the highest risk of exposure and becoming infected is. Then there is the factor of becoming the Thing. Unlike a lot of other spy/paranoia games, once infected, your objective does not change. Your number one goal is blending in (like the movie and book). This is actually harder than it sounds, especially when you have a few Vulnerable cards in front of you.
And finally, another fun and unique element is that if you suspect someone of being the Thing…keep it to yourself!!! Most games, everyone starts spouting off to each other, "I think it's him!!! I'm TELLING YOU IT'S HIM!!!" But in this game, you want to keep quiet and act as though everything is fine. If the Thing pretends to be human, you pretend to believe he's human. If the Thing thinks he's safe, there is no need for him to attack. Let the rounds wind down…then BAM, kill him or leave him behind! I've seen many games end in pure chaos. Humans killing humans, Things killing Things (to cover his tracks), the innocent getting left behind…it's one big lovable party!
Cute and cuddly mixed with dangerous and cunning
From the Bogeyman to the Thing, your games have this dark, horror theme/setting and a wonderful juxtaposition with Jesse's incredible art – is this an intentional motif that we can expect from Certifiable Studios in the future?
Anthony (one of the other creators at Certifiable) and myself have always been fans of that juxtaposition. Cute and cuddly mixed with dangerous and cunning just felt right.
So, after creating a game where helpless orphans get picked off by their bogeyman, the natural next step was clearly freezing, burning, mauling, shooting, stabbing and infecting a group of scientists, right?
There is a certain fun to these things when wrapped in the right artwork. If you make the art too serious, you lose a lot of the theme. Things become too one-sided and not as much fun. So, we try to keep the darker themes in a light-hearted atmosphere. It keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously.
Do you have plans/designs/inclinations regarding miniatures for the game – it's been mentioned a few times in the comments section…?
hmmm, have people mentioned minis? That's weird I don't remember seeing anyone say minis…EVERY FIVE SECONDS!
Yes, we do plan on having minis. They are actually pretty spot on to the art. Anthony has started designing them and if you like the art, you will love the minis.
I think that most backers/gamers will enjoy moving a McReady character out in the cold WAY more than a cardboard punchout head. So that's what we are all really shooting for!
Please tell me you have some Anti-Stretch Goals (or Goats, or Goads) lined up and a finale, end of campaign song?
If Rick gets his way (which he rarely does…just ask him) there might be a goat or two (maybe even a Sugar Pony) somewhere in our future!
Lord, help us!
Who Goes There? Is live now on Kickstarter and will end on August 8th at 11 pm (BST), every copy of the game will also come with an e-book copy of the novella. It's over 200% funded at the time of writing and I have little doubt that this game will make a great addition to anyone's collection, so I thoroughly recommend you check it out, and make sure you watch the brilliant video at the top of the campaign page.

Episode 50: Live Recording of Analysis In Chains 2nd Meetup in Berlin – Jan 11th, 2018.
You've probably seen all the crypto prices fall since the news of the Bitconnect scam. But there have been crypto winters and scams before, and crypto has recovered. To mark our 50th episode we present to you the audio recording from our Blockchain Unpacked live event from January 11th where Nathan interviewed Joshua Scigala, CEO of Vaultoro. Josh founded Vaultoro after losing money in the Mt.Gox scandal, and created a transparent exchange between bitcoin and physical gold in response. So take comfort in the fact that others have lived through crypto winters before, and the sun will rise again.

Comments for xxxHolic Volume 14
xxxHolic Volume 14: 09/05/14
As the Quick Wit Links blog points out, things are serious in Volume 14 of xxxHolic by CLAMP because it's the first time Watanuki has been on the cover since the first volume.
By now if you're not reading Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, you will probably be very confused by Yuko's explanations of Watanuki's past and his relationship to Syaoran. For those who are, Watanuki's introduction to Yuko and the missing wish from the first volume of Tsubasa will both make sense.
I had started reading Tsubasa before Volume 14, mostly because I was watching the anime and was becoming aware of the importance of the crossover. So I had already started to figure out much of the connection between Watanuki and Syaoran. For anyone reading both series, CLAMP drops enough hints to connect most of the dots by volume 14.
What took me most by surprise was the true nature of the shop and Maro and Moro's role in maintaining it. The shop's existence relies on heavy magic and may not be able to survive an upcoming confrontation. Maro and Moro's main roll is maintenance.
For those who prefer more of an in story (vs. crossover) explanation of what's going on, there is a side story about Watanuki being forced to teach a reluctant woman who to cook. Her explanation is that she is getting married and wants to learn how to cook for her soon to be husband but she has never cooked for herself. She can't stand the way anything tastes when she cooks it herself. The cooking lessons reveal Watanuki's outlook on life and his belief that how a food tastes reveals something about the soul of the person who cooked it.
Suffice it to say that things are about to change significantly

Enhanced ProJusticeMN.org
Take a moment sometime soon to check out the completely redesigned ProJusticeMN website (www.projusticemn.org), a great one-stop source for pro bono attorneys. Changes include enhanced site navigation, easier access to practice library materials, and an improved case placement tool that gives pro bono attorneys the ability to review and select current volunteer opportunities. Created in 1999, ProJusticeMN represents a long-standing collaboration between the MSBA and Minnesota's legal aid programs. Legal Services State Support maintains the site, and membership is free to any lawyer intending to represent pro bono clients.
