Is it possible to get a copy of this and another kitchen sink photo emailed to me? My father’s first wife Joy is in this photo. Also you did a wonderful kitchen sink post on my father, Clifford West, a few years ago, and I would love it if you could email me a copy if that too. Thank you!

Nana's Memories & More: Clean and Simple Christmas
Hello peeps, how was your week-end? Mine was quiet and uneventful except for listening to my poor husband coughing his head off.....but it gave me an excuse to hide out in my craft room.
I found a card on Pinterest using Lovely as a Tree from SU that was embossed in gold on black and just loved the look....well I decided to do a card in silver and black and used a stamp from Northwood Rubber called Holly Pinecone and Ribbon.....and sentiment is from My Craft Spot Tiny Tags Christmas which I purchased with my winning gift certificate from a few weeks ago.
Had to use a rick rack type of ribbon as I couldn't find any silver but I guess it works....do you think I should add some color to the pine cone's to make them stand out more or just leave them alone.
Would like to enter this card in the following challenges;
Come and Get It Challenge- Winter
Allsorts Challenge-No Designer Paper
Inkspirational Challenge-Christmas with a Twist no Red or Green
Completely Christmas-Embossing
Be back tomorrow with my design team card.

WOWZER GF!! That image is stunning and looks sooo elegant embossed with the silver over the dark colored card stock!! Amazing job! Hugs & Smiles - *Vicki*
Beautiful and elegant silver embossing.
Love the pretty color. Thank you for joining us at Come And Get It challenge. Bunny DT
Oh Beth what a stunning embossed design.
Gorgeous card! I'm so glad you did this in black and silver. Awesome combo.
This is such a dramatic look with a touch of elegance, great card. Thanks for joining us at Ink x
This card rocks my world. I think you should just leave the card alone without any colouring. But go ahead and try one anyways to see how it looks.
Your card is very elegant and stylish Beth.
This is gorgeous Beth, I love your image and that silver and black is such an elegant combination.
What a fantastic look! The silver and black are so elegant and your embossing turned out great. Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational!
Beautiful embossing. Thank you so much for entering our Completely Christmas challenge 39 with your lovely crafting - we hope we'll see you again soon, Hazel, DT - you could also enter this into my CHNC challenge extra for November - I'd love to see it there too. x
wow girl that is a beautiful stamp...love the silver on black so richly elegant.

Press Release: 5th Men’s Health Urbanathlon 2014 | My Running Addiction
Press Release: 5th Men’s Health Urbanathlon 2014	This entry was posted on December 17, 2013, in Article, Feature, News and tagged 2014 singapore, Men's Health, mh running, obstacle, run, running, sph mens health, urbanatlon. Bookmark the permalink.	Leave a comment
BOASTING NEW OBSTACLES AND A MYSTERY ONE THAT WILL CHALLENGE LIKE NONE BEFORE, THE 2014 MEN’S HEALTH URBANATHLON WILL BE YOUR TOUGHEST EVER.
Event Date: 2 Mar 2014 (Sunday)
Start/End Point: The Float at Marina Bay
Distance*: Approx. 14km, with 9 obstacles
Let’s face it- these day’s runs are a dime a dozen in Singapore. Anyone can just put together a few quirky or visually-fun elements and call it a run. But four years on, the Men’s Health Urbanathlon has built a well-deserved reputation for being a true barometer of exactly how fit you are, and whether you’ve got real-world strength to surmount challenges.
2013’s iteration also marked a milestone in the competition, when 300 female runners ran side by side their male counterparts, and proved their mettle by taking on every single one of the same obstacles with equal skill and panache.
This year, both sexes will find the Urbanathlon an even tougher challenge, especially when they consider the new challenges in their path. With brand new obstacles like Leap of Faith, Balance Sheet, Curve Analysis, Peaks & Troughs and Wire House, all Urbanathletes will need to dig deep into their physical and mental reserves to conquer these challenges.
On top of this, there’s no finishing the Urbanathlon without getting past our new Mystery Obstacle, which will test your five senses that no other race can. Marking the first time such a challenge has been introduced, participants will have to wait till the very day of the run to find out what awaits them!
Outstanding prizes await the top three runners for the individual category, and top three teams from the corporate category. Everyone who completes the race gets a finisher’s T-Shirt, medal and personalised certificate. Each Urbanathlete will receive a race pack worth over $250, including an adidas race tee and a complimentary six-month digital subscription to Men’s Health.
The race is open to male and female runners 18 years old and above. Hurry though- only a limited number of race slots are available!

speichernThe Making of Shadow of the Colossus für später speichern
Shadow Of The Colossus is a good game in itself, but it is the technology which is operational within the machine, PS2- wise, that gives it the true "next-gen impression".
"You can spend far too much time making detailed adjustments on a case-by- case basis, just to get the exact right motion on each character."
SOTC's HDR rendering
method is not physically
correct, but the effect works
well and creates very
impressive visual results.
Speaking of pseudo-HDR rendering, the glow effect where light overflows onto the surrounding areas during the post- processing (the bloom effect) is traditionally a general-purpose effect. Our implementation introduces exposure and simulation of the pupil with the proper brightness, which is not usually done. Furthermore, with SOTC, this is done according to the scene where the player is.
At first, it tends to bright white (left picture), but the real-time effect settles gradually to it's proper brightness (right picture). The eye keeps adjusting
1. Rendering the distant view, and save it.
2. Foreground rendering.
3. Composite the distant view and foreground together. It uses the contents of the Z-buffer like a mask pattern (see image 2).
4. Again using the Z-buffer, generate a separate image of the mask pattern.
5. Reduce this to 64x64 pixels, using a bilinear filter. (This makes it ultra-low resolution.) This gets reused in step (8).
6. Blend in the previous frame (from step 7) using a percentage specified in the scene box.
7. Store the image for use in step (6). It is used for drawing the next frame.
8. Expand step (5) to a suitable resolution, using the bilinear filter. Thus, it becomes the material for the bloom effect where the distant view starts bleeding out from the shape of the foreground.
9. Blend (7) and (8) using a ratio specified in the scene box.
[2. Foreground
rendering]
and (2) using the Z- buffer mask.
Using the same Z- buffer mask, generate the original image for the bloom effect.
"The downside to this method of scene boxes, which causes the PS2 to suffer, is that the time taken on the production side to set the boxes up is very high. SOTC has a very large world to manually set all this in." - Hajime Sugiyama, SCE lead production department
We generate our shadows with the stencil shadow volume technique, which also allows self- shadowing effects. Not many PS2 titles do this. Furthermore, at the time of writing this article, this technique will continue to last for a long time.
On the right is the visualization of the shadow
volume from the same scene. Shadow volume
extrusion is done via VU1 of the PS2's CPU.
The fur shader's multilayer shell
construction is used even for the
grass in certain outdoor areas. Try
and spot it when you play.
You can verify the 5 layers of fur on the head
of this large mammoth-style colossus.
It is during this time that we use the landscape rendering system to draw far away places, without cheating using distance
Consequently, most of the medium range which goes from nearby to just past the furthest background, is rendered using
a low-resolution landscape. This is managed in units of 600x600m, and as the player approaches it, once he gets nearer
than a certain fixed distance, it changes to the high-res landscape model for the foreground. This switch is designed to blend well so it not obvious.

collision model of
the colossus. The
collision model tries
to match the actual
model well.
Because there are ups and downs in the landscape, we also need to adjust the angle the foot is placed at. When this happens, we also need to adjust the height - if we just changed the angle it would appear to stand strangely. So then, given the new height of the foot, we calculate the angle and direction for each bone as appropriate. Furthermore, the IK
for the dynamic height adjustment of each bone, is not only done for the colossus, but also for the player character and his horse.

This is a method which performs lighting calculations using the relationship between the viewing direction and the lights affecting the particle, which creates an effect where the particle textures appear properly highlighted. The particles lighting calculation itself becomes expensive for the vector unit, but "the particle effect becomes 3D, because it is real- time and interactive, which is a big effect in itself." - (Ueda)
For this, when the direction of the view faces a light source, and the character is in- between, we generate a simple white outline of a fixed brightness ratio, using a simple anisotropic lighting calculation. It produces a kind of specular anisotropy image.
The condition that is used is

with the eye looking directly at it's end, the reflection is less visible. When it is seen with the eye looking from the side, the

"Shadow Of The Colossus took approximately 3 years to produce. With ICO, it is somewhere between a cartoon shader and photo realistic visuals. At the start of development it was hard to add things, such as the stencil shadow
volumes, strengthening the environmental lighting, etc arrived at the fantastic visuals."
but it was a matter of trial and error, and eventually we
By the way, we are in frequent contact with fans of SOTC, and they always wonder "why this was not made for the next- generation PS3". Because we had mentioned in the past that the previous game ICO had it's PS1 production cancelled and moved to PS2, which was the next-gen machine at that time, shouldn't we have done this again with the PS3?
People are concerned about whether a sequel will appear or not on PS3. The epic scale which Shadow Of The Colossus seems ideally suited to the high-def nature of PS3, but
Most current games which handle collision between two simple objects, such as a sword-vs-sword, seem normal.
But with the next-gen consoles, people have seen the interaction between the player and the huge colossus and will expect this to be the standard. I can't saying anything concrete about our next project, but it may use the same theme of "hold, and perform an action" from SOTC. It is possible that this game concept may become standard on
the next-generation consoles
so this seems a nice reason to have it completed now on PS2."

Decent accommodation but the restaurant is over priced
Decent cottages around the pool... Rooms are good... Triple room is furnished with one double coat plus one single coat instead of extra bed....15-20 mins away from the entrance of Yala National park...

nice hotel. nice setting, needs some polish
beautiful lovely place. Family accommodation (king bed plus single) was great, air con good and the setting near the rice paddy and pool also good. I do hope this place does well and to do so it will need a bit of polish. Some additional training for staff, just to be attentive and smile a bit, they just seemed a little junior and would benefit from a good manager with hospitality experience, not that we were that fussed, but this style of luxury tourist accommodation needs this professionalism. As others have suggested the laundry, thick with Yala dust, did not come back clean, which is unusual given that in my experience of washing in Asia, everything usually comes back utterly spotless and better than I could ever do. The Pool has some issues with cracked tiles which they told us about but everyone still managed to get tiny cuts all over their feet - so that needs to be addressed. All that said, we would recommend, for the price and because this hotel was one of the few in Tissa that was not enormously expensive or did not insist we book two rooms as we have two small kids, We would come again, it was a great launch for Yala and we wish it the best

This was a truly lovely hotel. The grounds are great, the room was spotless ( a/c) and the people very friendly. The bar /restaurant was a great spot after a long day in Yala Park and the food was very good. This is a definite recommend.

We stayed here as part of our trip around Sri Lanka. This hotel was chosen because of it's proximity to Yala. The accommodation is in blocks of four rooms, the room itself being nice and spacious. The provision of a fridge in the room was very welcome, though thank goodness I always take plenty of coathangers, there being just two in the 'wardrobe'. The restaurant has an open aspect and is raised to first floor level which offers lovely views as you eat. The food was okay, though the non-curry choices lacked a little imagination, and the breakfast was quite basic.
The basic problem with this hotel is that the staff are too young and inexperienced. I asked to put passports and money etc in the hotel safe, and this was wrapped in newspaper taped up with black tape! I asked for some shorts and t-shirts to be laundered, and was told they could be ready by 7.0 pm. I went to the reception to collect them, and was told they were not quite ready but would be brought to my room - they were, but still damp and just pushed into a plastic carrier. I had to take them back and ask for them to be pressed, this could not be done until the following morning. When I got them back they were not particularly clean nor well pressed, though the dust from Yala probably accounted for them not being clean.
This is a pleasant stay for visiting Yala and Bundala as we did, and we would probably stay again if we wanted to make a return trip to the parks, because it is a nice hotel, but somebody please take control.

This hotel belongs in the basic-tranquil category. The guest room was very clean and comfortable, but it did not have a TV and wi-fi is not available in the room.
Due to unforeseeable circumstances in our trip around Sri Lanka, this hotel was a last-minutes replacement booked by our tour operator. Overall it was a good selection and we were happy with our stay.
The restaurant offered a good selection of food for both dinner and breakfast served buffet style.
We wanted to use the pool after dinner to unwind from the day's safari in Yala National Park, but for some reason it was closed earlier than the posted hours.
The water pressure in the shower was lower than usual. Not enough to be a hindrance, but enough to take notice.
While most of the staff provided excellent service, there is one of the younger girls in the restaurant who needs extra training in being cordial to customers.
The view from the second floor open air restaurant is amazing. You can see how you are located in the middle of the jungle.
The hotel is not far from Yala National Park and offers a good night's rest in a secluded setting.
Room Tip: We stayed in room #2. It was peaceful, located away from the main building and offered a good sceni...

Great location but lacks direction
We stayed here for a couple of nights in order to visit Yala and Bundala, it was a great location for trips to both of these parks. The setting is great, reminded me of trips to African safari parks, the upstairs dining room had good views over the neighbouring paddy fields. The rooms were large and very clean, it would have been nice if the fridge had been turned on so it was cold when we arrived, and the bed was decorated with bougainvillea flowers - very pretty! The pool was welcome after a long, hot journey and towels were brought out quickly for us. We were disappointed on the first night as we were back late from a trip to Yala and the buffet was pretty much empty, the second night was a set menu so not typically Sri Lankan. There seemed to be a better choice at lunch time. The laundry service was excellent and good value. We felt that with better management this could be a fantastic hotel, it has everything in place just felt the staff needed a bit of direction. The pool needed cleaning thoroughly and staff were not found easily if you wanted a drink whilst outside. Having said that I would recommend it for anyone wanting to visit the National Parks.

ideal rest after a Safari in Yala
I have to admit that I slept in this hotel after one of the most beautiful days of my life so my review is definitely spoiled. But actually swim in the Hibiscus pool under a star crowded sky is something I really recommend! We finish our amazing safari at 6.30 in the afternoon - where we were so lucky to meet a leopard among the others spectacular creatures - and than checked in in this hotel where we had our deserved rest.
The buffet is very simple but good, excellent value for money - don't miss the bread donuts fried by a lovely lady, I had 7 of them:-)
The staff seems a bit sleepy, they asked for our room number every 2 minutes.

Durango Texas: Free Admission Today For Fort Worth's Cultural District Museums
I met a Texan this week who spent 7 years exiled in Seattle working for Boeing. She hated the cold, wet weather. Today in Texas she is experiencing her Washington nightmare, because this rain dripping on us today is like a typical fall/winter day in Western Washington.
I don't know if it will let up enough to go on a walk.
I could go to Fort Worth's goofily named "Cultural District" and do some free museum walking today. This particular Saturday is National Museum Day.
So, today the "Cultural District's" 8 museums are free of admission charges from 10am til 5pm.
And the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, aka "The T" is providing free transport between the museums in the "Cultural District."
I have never been to the Kimball Museum. I've not been to the new Science and History Museum. Nor have I been to, nor had much desire to see, the Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. I have been to the other museums in the "Cultural District."
I think. I know my favorite has been the Amon Carter Museum. And I really like the architecture of the Modern Art Museum. The art, not so much.
So, maybe I will take off and join the museum throngs today for some cultural walking.
Labels: Fort Worth Cultural District, National Museum Day
Ironically, there is not a cloud in the sky in Seattle today unless you count a wisp of a cloud obscuring the very peak of Mount Rainier.

This year’s 1-3 school program looks at the many types of friendship, from close schoolyard pals to people in different parts of the world who find understanding through the exchange of what some would call meaningless pieces of trash. This collection of films questions how different people interpret what it means to be a friend as well as to need a friend.
Wed, Nov 7 @ 1:30pm
Thurs, Nov 8 @ 9:30am
Each of the films in this year’s Grades 4-6 program explores the idea of what it means to be here in various different ways. What does it mean to be a child? A parent? A classmate? A neighbour? A citizen? The theme that unifies each of these pieces is that our experience of here — any here — is shaped by what we are willing to bring to it. As we discover in this program, here is a reflection of our hopes and desires but also, importantly, of our efforts.
Friday, Nov 9 @ 9:30am & 1:30pm
When worlds collide, the results can be inspiring, curious or even tragic. These four films explore the consequences, both good and bad, of disparate forces coming together. In UNRESERVED, Native art merges with pop culture on the sneakers of a mixed-race artist. Second Hand finds a neat freak living next door to a hoarder couple. In House, a host and his visitors conflict over boundaries and borders. And in That Which Once Was, refugees from different sides of the world make an unexpected connection.

Based on other reviews we visited this restaurant. I spent years doing business in Korea so I feel I know good Korean food when I taste it. This a wonderful little family run Korean restaurant. Very crowded as others have mentioned but worth being crammed in. The food is wonderful! We had BiBimBap, Galbi and Bulgogi. The small dishes that come with your dinner are wonderful as well. I loved the Mool Mandu (dumplings). The Kimchee soup was also very tasty and nothing was too spicy where it would overwhelm the wonderful favors. Yes it is hard to catch the servers (2 the night we were there) but they are rushing around trying to get the food out to the eager diners. I had no trouble flagging them down and they were friendly and responsive. Wish this place was back home!

My second time here - and this place is popular amongst Korean people and non-Koreans. I had the bibimbap (rice with fried egg, seaweed, veges, beef, etc) and struggled to finish it! Service is good and the dishes are great value for $10 - $12 on average. This is a small restaurant so get in early!

For over $13 CAD for Bulgogi, Kimchi and other side dishes, I found the price rather high compared to other Bulgogi prices in other cities I've visited and much more expensive than another Korean restaurant I visited in Vancouver. Portions were small, service was good, and quality was average.

Okay TripAdvisor...you really need to add Korean to your cuisine choices!Yum. I am a late comer to the Korean food trend. But having recently watched Kimchee Chronicles, I am swimming in the deep end.Ma Dang Goul on Denman is not fancy, but is warm and inviting. I was in the mood for kimchi soup and for the pork ribs (which I almost never order anywhere). The kimchee soup was bubbling hot with a nice chunk of tofu and nice and sour. I am now a very big fan of kimchi soup (Kimchi JJigae). The pork short ribs (Doeji Galbi) were marinated in a sweetish red pepper paste then grilled. They were tasty, but a little too spicy for me. Be also had the BimBap and that was very satisfying, though I liked it better at the Japanese Kingyo restaurant down the street.It was about $9-11 for each item, and the total came out to less than $40 with tip. Good, but I am still searching for that really great Korean restaurant in Vancouver.

This looks fabulous--can you share which fonts were used? When I tried to print, everything was blacked out. Thank you!!
Oh my! You. Are. Wonderful! Seriously! I can't give you any advice because I am too busy celebrating! I love how detailed your frameworks are.
I made the plunge from 1st to K last year and it was such a good fit my principal asked me to stay in K. I hope your experience is as positive as mine! I remember being so overwhelmed about teaching non-readers and writers, but everything worked out fine. I treated them like mini first graders who needed a lot of modeling and picture support and they rose to the challenge.
Writers workshop is one area I struggle with a little bit because I am not a great writer myself (I am much more comfortable with math and science!). I tend go fast and do too much too soon with my mini lessons. I have found myself wishing for a 180 day outline to follow and you just gave me the next best thing. I have Katie Wood Ray's About the Authors. Do you have any suggestions for other writing workshop based texts?
I would LOVE IT if you would send that link! Thanks!
Thank you so much!! Writing is an area that I struggle in because I am not a good writer myself. I am so excited about this!!! If there is a link that will help me with the rest of this or a book that I could purchase, please let me know. I appreciate your work and your help. My email is kim@judyscraftsonline.com

Now onto what you were actually saying. Just because a word is used as a 'buzzword' doent mean it completely loses its real meaning. Your personal rights are important friend, its one of the upsides of being in a society that mutually agreed upon rights are protected so that we can all get along together. Yes, rights do need to be enforced on those that wish to ignore them but they also need to be protected as well from those same people. Now lets be honest, the NSA isnt gathering knowledge for knowledges sake. They are gathering it because they want to use it and knowledge is power. Why they want to use? I dont know and I'm not going to be arrogant enough to pretend like I do but they are definetly crossing lines of reason that they shouldnt. Mass surveliance assumes everyone is guilty which is just not the case and I dont think any sane person is opposed to looking for the 'bad guys' because yeah they obviously exist as well and should be stopped but not at the cost of what you are suppose to be trying to protect, a fair and open society.

i'd rather have a high standard of living and and education than "freedom"
Very well, then. There is only one possible way that you did not just contradict yourself, and these are your terms.
You will spend the rest of your life in one very comfortable, well-furnished room.

Over here. To the side where nobody can hear. Hey, just helping you out. There are two Koreas. One says that governments should do horrible things, and it does, true to its word. The other hasn't done anything remarkably hypocritical lately either. Neither of them is best characterized as "hypocritical". Since this is a story about the UN and only one of those Koreas is a member of the UN, you can probably figure out which one called us that. Okay, I don't think anybody heard us. Just wanted to save you a red face there, friend. OH HI, NSA! I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE! How are... things? Allowed to say? No, no, don't say anything. I'll go.

Mom, Are We There Yet?: Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes
Ladybug is changing so fast. It seems like just yesterday she was nursing, sleeping all the time, so content to cuddle in the sling with me all day. Now? Now she is her own person. And she is not shy about telling you exactly what she wants. Or doesn't want. Or REALLY, REALLY DOESN'T WANT.
So now she really, really loves sleeping in our version of a big girl bed. I do find it totally fascinating that she has no interest in getting out of the bed. Just getting into it. I'm sure that will change though. Perhaps just the option to get out of bed is enough at the moment. Of course, I do think that she spends a good portion of the night sleeping on the floor.
There's also been an explosion in both her desire to use the potty and her language. So now she can tell us that she has to go. Or that she already went. Or that she likes going. Or that SHE DOES NOT WANT HER DIAPER CHANGED. Unless she gets to wipe her bottom by herself. Then she REALLY, REALLY wants to change her diaper, like five minutes ago already.
She also lets me know on an almost hourly basis her total and absolute preference for chocolate milk. Anything else is totally and completely unacceptable. That really presents quite a problem, as chocolate milk just isn't served that often here.
And for all of you that can't stand her hair in her face... she is now also ready for pigtails. I know, it's adorable. However, she likes me doing her hair about as much as her big sister.
No hurt me Mommy, she cries. And I know it doesn't hurt. Her hair is still so baby soft, and doesn't really get tangles. She's just parroting her sister. Just one more thing to make our mornings slightly more complicated.
It's amazing to watch her grow though. I just don't remember it happening so fast with Sunshine. I feel like she'll be asking me for the keys to the car tomorrow.
