Megan You made one more than I did :) I had planned to make some as gifts this year and never got around to it...Here's to 2010! the year you and I make some aprons :)ReplyDelete
All the best for 2010! xx
That is one more apron than I made! :) It's precious!ReplyDelete
Flossing is one of the most advised practices that dentists give to their patients as it effectively removes dirt between teeth and gum lines. Perhaps using a toothbrush with soft thin bristles will help, too. Anyway, that fabric is beautiful. You can make a good shower curtain out of it, or a nice curtain for kitchen windows. The Rainbow scarf is pretty, btw. The cloud pockets are a clever idea. ♥ReplyDelete

We are energized to see the entrepreneurial spirit alive and well in our nation's veterans.
Leesburg, VA (PRWEB) May 06, 2015
Militello Capital, a greater Washington, DC private equity investment firm, announces its follow-on investment and participation as the largest investor in the most recent round of financing for Nexercise, a Baltimore-based and veteran-led customizable fitness app company.
Two years after its initial investment, Militello Capital has reinvested in Nexercise in support of the launch of its new app, Sworkit. Militello increased its capital offering by 500 percent to close out the latest funding round. Nexercise is one of the 35 investments in Militello Venture Partners II Fund (MVP II), which closed in early February and whose portfolio companies experienced aggregate revenue growth of 162 percent from Q4 2013 to Q4 2014.
Aside from the increasing interest in fitness technology and the growth Nexercise has experienced in particular, William Militello, CEO of Miltello Capital, also saw an opportunity to partner with a fellow veteran turned entrepreneur, Greg Coleman, COO of Nexercise. Militello graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and served as a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps, while Coleman graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and served as a U.S. Air Force pilot and squadron commander. Coleman's business acumen was garnered at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his MBA. He is also an alumni of the prestigious Techstars accelerator program.
"The combination of great product offerings and Greg's leadership and adaptive skills in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving marketplace made our decision to further support a fellow veteran easy," says Militello. "We are energized to see the entrepreneurial spirit alive and well in our nation's veterans."

its just that its not called diablo because of copyright issues.
its called hellgate london.Hellgate: London is a computer game under development by Flagship Studios. The design of the game is similar in a number of ways to the Diablo series. This is due to influence of Flagship Studios co-founders including a number of ex-Blizzard North employees, including Diablo series creators Erich Schaefer and former President David Brevik. The other founders are Erich's brother Max Schaefer, former Blizzard North Vice President Bill Roper, and Diablo II producer Kenneth Williams.
That's retarded. They're making their own game. Not Diablo 3. That game isn't even in the same timeframe as Diablo. That's like saying "Guys, StarCraft is WarCraft 897237 years in the future, don't you get it??"

So as most of you have already read my post about Cupcake Madness last year in Rhode Island, this post mentioning limoncello cupcakes will be of no surprise to you. I am rather behind on posts and Cupcake Madness took precedence over the old posts I had to write. I am still writing this post to pay homage to this mash up of flavors that so inspired my Cupcake Madness entry (and winner of 2nd place best frosting!).
I digress. Back to the star of this piece. A limoncello cupcake with a raspberry jelly center topped with a tart limoncello cream cheese frosting. Are your mouths watering yet?? I love tart flavors. Plain and simple. My coworkers give me all of their lemon flavored candies because I am the only one who thoroughly enjoys them. An ingenious combination for lemonade. Raspberry lemonade. This cupcake encapsulates these wonderful flavors and then some! The cream cheese frosting really pushes this cupcake over the edge by adding another layer of tartness with its smooth lemony undercurrent. Topped with a fresh raspberry and you are ready for a summer picnic!

Iran nuclear deal: Trump announces US withdrawal, reinstates sanctions
US President Donald Trump defers metal tariffs on EU, Canada, other allies
President Trump's sanctions on Iran could be a sharp blow to India
India braces for explosion as Trump's Iran sanctions countdown begins
Iran nuke deal fallout: Govt plays down impact of surge in crude price
Paris is emerging as the leader of a European push-back against President Donald Trump's resumption of sanctions against Iran with Minister for Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire and Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian on Tuesday meeting with French companies doing business in the country.
The French-led effort could aid New Delhi, which is concerned the sanctions will not only hurt crude oil imports from Iran but also undermine the fledgeling Chabahar port project.
Indian government sources said they were closely watching the French lead, but were also wary of taking sides in a potential showdown between the United States and Europe.
"We ask the United States to ensure that sanctions do not apply to French and European companies that trade with Iran or invest there", the French foreign ministry spokesperson said. "France is acting to protect its companies".
France's push-back came even as reports suggested state-owned giant China National Petrochemical Corporation was willing to take over Paris-headquartered Total's stake in Phase 11 of the South Pars oilfield, the world's largest.
CNPS currently holds a 30 per cent stake of the Phase 11 deal, to Total's 50.1 per cent, with the rest being owned by a subsidiary of Iran's national oil company, PetroPars.
Last week, Le Maire had told French radio he had asked United States Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin for temporary or permanent exemptions for French companies operating in Iran, which include PSA, drug giant Sanofi and food group Danone among those affected — in addition to Renault and oil major Total.
India, government sources told The Business Standard, is yet to seek any specific exemptions from sanctions, though one senior official said some preliminary discussions had taken place.
President Trump's National Security Advisor, John Bolton, had said last week that United States sanctions on European companies that maintain business dealings with Iran were "possible".
France's effort has the backing of Germany, whose exports to Iran exceeded $3.5 billion last year. In addition, the Hamburg-based Europaeisch-Iranische Handelsbank handed over $10 billion in transactions involving Iran.
The only major economic power that appears to be falling in line with President Trump's efforts is Japan, whose second-largest energy importer, Inpex, said last week that it may be forced to drop its bid for the South Azadegan oilfield—reputed to be among the world's largest, with an estimated 33.2 billion barrels.
Inpex was forced to relinquish its 10% stake in the Azadegan oilfield in 2010, after the United States imposed sanctions.
Key to the fate of the sanctions will be the conduct of China—Iran's largest trading partner. "Chinese companies had near $2.3 billion of direct investment in Iran from 2014 till 2018, while the amount of investments [they made] was $110 million from 1996 till 2014", Iranian deputy minister Mohammad Khazaie told an investment conference held in Tehran early this year.
The state-owned investment arm China International Trust Investment Corporation recently established a $10 billion credit line for Iran, while the China Development Bank is considering $15 billion more. Trade with China has more than doubled since 2006, to $28 billion.
Iran has handed out several high-profile contracts to Chinese firms, including the expansion of the Tehran Metro, and the construction of high-speed railway lines to the eastern city of Mashhad and the Gulf port of Bushehr,
"Lots of Chinese companies have zero exposure to the United States, and state-owned ones find relatively easy to set up special-purpose vehicles to bypass sanctions and other regulations", an Indian diplomat noted.
Beijing proved adroit in dodging sanctions imposed in 2010, using both informal mechanisms and special banking channels. Kunlun Bank, a subsidiary of the China National Petrochemicals Corporation, was sanctioned by the United States in 2012 along with Iraq's Elaf Islamic Bank, for handling transactions involving blacklisted banks in Iran.
"Bank of Kunlun has provided hundreds of millions of dollars worth of financial services to these designated banks, including holding accounts, making transfers, and paying their letters of credit", the United States Treasury Department said.
However, Kunlun Bank continued to engage in transactions with Iran, with Beijing picking the bank to shield others in the country from sanctions.
In language similar to this week's French statement, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said the People's Republic was committed to the deal and would "maintain communication with all parties and continue to protect and execute the agreement fully".

After lunch my mother walks into the dining room
and my father and I both
blow our noses.
In the past when I thought about people my parents
were somehow
not among them. But some wound stayed
wide in all of us, and now I see in their faces
strange rivers and waterfalls, tilted over with broom.
You are watching the brown-paper covers of books grow
out around your father, as he dreams there
against the wall, thinking perhaps
how rocks are not quite lands.

Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day celebrate 20 years with diverse
poetry collection
To mark the 20th anniversary of Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day (NPD), 20 leading Kiwi poets were asked to select one of their own poems, something they felt spoke to New Zealanders now. They also chose a poem by an emerging poet, writers they feel make essential reading for us in 2017.
The result is the 20/20 Collection – 40 poems by New Zealand poets who represent the diversity and vibrancy of talent in our contemporary national literature. The list includes Poet Laureates, Ockham New Zealand Book Awards winners, and strong new voices from recent collections and anthologies.
NPD has been running continuously since 1997 and is always celebrated on the last Friday in August. Poetry enthusiasts from all over New Zealand organise a feast of events – from poetry slams to flash and pop-up events – in venues that include schools, libraries, bars, galleries, surf clubs, and parks. This year's NPD will be held on Friday 25 August.
Launched on May 24, the 20/20 Collection will be published in groups of ten poems between now and NPD. Featured poets are: Jenny Bornholdt and her pick, Ish Doney; Paula Green and Simone Kaho; Vincent O'Sullivan and Lynley Edmeade; Apirana Taylor and Kiri Piahana Wong; Alison Wong and Chris Tse; Tusiata Avia and Teresia Teaiwa; Kevin Ireland and Gregory Kan; Diana Bridge and John Dennison; Andrew Johnston and Bill Nelson; Michael Harlow and Paul Schimmel; C.K. Stead and Johanna Emeney; David Eggleton and Leilani Tamu; Elizabeth Smither and Rob Hack; Richard Reeve and Michael Steven; Robert Sullivan and Ngahuia Te Awekotuku; Bill Manhire and Louise Wallace; Selina Tusitala Marsh and Reihana Robinson; Cilla McQueen and David Holmes; James Norcliffe and Marisa Capetta; and Brian Turner and Jillian Sullivan.
Paula Morris, NPD spokesperson for the New Zealand Book Awards Trust, said that she was "excited to see the range of voices selected here, and the ethnic and geographic diversity in the poets chosen by our twenty established writers. This list speaks to a 'new' New Zealand literature, and reflects how much our culture is changing and growing."
Many of the poets featured in the 20/20 Collection will take part in events on 25 August, Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day 2017. Event organisers are encouraged to register their poetry event online as soon as possible: http://www.nzbookawards.nz/national-poetry-day/how-to-register-your-event/.
Now into their second year of naming rights sponsorship of National Poetry Day, Phantom Billstickers will support NPD and 20/20 on the ground, online and in print, with funky billstickers that celebrate our nation's poets. Business Development Manager Kelly Wilson says, "If given a platform, poetry speaks to people. We are very proud at Phantom to support National Poetry Day and provide platforms all around the country for the poetic voice of New Zealand."
Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day is proudly administered by the New Zealand Book Awards Trust.
Notes to Editors
National Poetry Day was established in 1997 with a mandate to celebrate discovery, diversity, community and pushing boundaries. It is a one-day national poetry-event extravaganza held on the last Friday of August each year. This is the second year of National Poetry Day operating under the sponsorship of Phantom Billstickers.
Phantom Billstickers is a street poster company which has consistently helped New Zealanders express themselves since 1982. Recognising and supporting home-grown talent has always sat comfortably alongside its commercial campaign work. Phantom actively promotes New Zealand music, art, poetry and culture around the country and across the world, putting poetry on posters and a literary mix of work into cafes via its quarterly magazine Café Reader.
The New Zealand Book Awards Trust was established as a charitable trust in 2014 to govern and manage the country's two major literary awards – The Ockham New Zealand Book Awards and the New Zealand Book Awards for Children & Young Adults – as well as National Poetry Day, and to ensure their longevity and credibility.
The 20/20 Collection features work by living New Zealand poets with one exception: Tusiata Avia's selection of a poem by Teresia Teaiwa. Sadly, Teresia died of cancer in March, aged just 48. She was a much loved and influential
figure in Pacific studies, and the committee hopes that her inclusion in 20/20 encourages more people to seek out her important creative and critical work.
Paula Morris (Ngati Wai, Ngati Whatua) is an award-winning novelist, short story writer and essayist. A frequent book reviewer, interviewer and festival chair, Paula holds degrees from universities in New Zealand, the U.K. and the US, including a D.Phil from the University of York and an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. She is convenor of the Master in Creative Writing programme at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

A press release:
From seasoned award-winners to newbies facing a microphone for the first time, National Poetry Day — Friday, 28 August —unleashes the power and excitement of poetry for one incredible day of activity all around New Zealand.
Celebrating its 18th year, National Poetry Day 2015 features an astounding 80 events from Kerikeri to Southland and into cyberspace. This year's calendar holds something for everyone, from aspiring to established poets, and from those who enjoy poetry to those who think poetry isn't for them. The 2015 calendar of events offers a way for anyone to get involved in the poetry community, discover New Zealand poets, share their own work or find out what it is all about.
"One of the best things about poetry is you can make it into whatever you want it to be," says national coordinator, Miriam Barr. "There are no rules in poetry, or rather all the rules are there to be broken and bent. Poetry lets you say what you need to say, the way you want to say it." This year, the New Zealand poetry community brings you poetry slams, poetry-music jams, poetry art exhibitions, performance poetry, poetry with dance, poetry street-chalking, bookshop readings, famous poets reading their work, writing competitions, open mic events that invite you to share, and a bunch of online events open to everyone.
The full calendar of events is live online now. Competitions open for submissions across August and warm-up events kick off the week leading up to National Poetry Day.
Highlights of this year's National Poetry include:

Growing up my Nana taught me about cooking and shared many recipes with me that I still use today.
One big thing she taught me was that you don't always have to follow the recipe exactly; if you find an ingredient that you like and you think will work well, then add it!
Make it your own
It's easy to buy a store product but is it really what you wanted. The nice thing about being able to cook is that you can give everything your special touch and make it your own.
Of course, you have to remember that something that works well for someone else doesn't always mean that it will suit you.
One size doesn't fit all
I think insurance is the same way - every policy has certain key coverages or "ingredients" that have to be added but you can tailor your insurance policies to fit your specific needs.
I see many customers that have the misconception that since their policy was written a certain way initially they cannot modify it at any time.
Making it personal is rewarding
I really enjoy helping to educate my customers on what coverage they carry and finding out what they're trying to get out of the policy.
If I can save them money and help get the coverage that's going to work best for them then everybody wins.
If you've got questions, call us on 425 322 3642 or drop me an email

Since I grew up in Minnesota, went to school in Wisconsin and have worked in Michigan, Iowa and Illinois, believe me when I say I've consumed my share of relish trays, walleye and coleslaw.
But a Lincolnwood restaurant's fish fry caught my attention this year due in part to their atmosphere, as well as their commitment to using great ingredients.
This time of year, in the midst of Lent, fish is everywhere. On Fridays, it plays a starring role on the menu at L.Woods Tap and Pine Lodge in Lincolnwood, where everyone, it seems, has a connection to the ritual of the Friday Night Fish Fry.
"It's something that people they remember from; whether it's their childhood, from where they went to school, wherever it might be they remember a fish fry somewhere," said Terry Lawler, Manager of L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge.
But unlike Wisconsin V-F-W lodges, which might rely on dubious sources, L.Woods makes sure its ingredients are top-notch.
"We're able to deal with the best purveyors, we're able to get the best fish in?fresh daily and you know the best ingredients that we're able to prepare it with," Lawler said.
They begin with fresh perch fillets, dunking them into a mixture of eggs and Goose Island beer, then dredging them through Japanese bread crumbs, called panko. This gives the fish a crispier exterior. The fish is fried for just a couple of minutes; meanwhile, french fries have been seasoned with vinegar and salt, tossed in a bowl. The fish is plated over the fries, and it's served with fresh lemon, tartar sauce and some creamy coleslaw. A tall, cold beer provides a sharp contrast to the crispy-fried fillets.
Lawler says one of the keys to the restaurant's success is keeping Midwestern traditions like this one alive.
"Friday fish fry is part of their social and cultural history. They get together, they come together as a neighborhood, and that's what we like to do here; that's what we're about," said Lawler.
In addition to perch, L.Woods also uses cod on occasion and while the fish frys are big deals on Fridays, they do offer the dish throughout the year.

Retail Stores for the Danish Lifestyle retailer
The philosophy of Georg Jensen himself was to create democratic designs possessing both functionality and beauty. His artisanal skill and artistic talent combined with his continuous ability to identify and support design talent was the foundation on which he built Georg Jensen in Copenhagen in 1904.
Georg Jensen's style embraced the Art Nouveau lines of the day but injected them with a distinctive vigour that continues to resonate today. Serene flowing forms are enriched by exquisitely sculpted ornamentation and his stylised bouquets of flowers and lush bunches of grapes reflect his sensual delight in nature. Our most important task is to leverage the ideas and principles of the master himself and translate these into the design of the present day.
The Georg Jensen brand is based on a number of shared values such as integrity, authenticity and Danish design. All resonating the Danish values – the simplicity of life, the Nordic light, clean water and fresh air – and all capsulised in the Georg Jensen Vision, Mission and Values. Respecting our DNA and our values it is both our obligation and our opportunity to run a profitable business providing products relevant to the consumer of today.

Before the production and popularity of the digital and phone cameras, the instant camera was the device that was looked upon for the advancement of photography. No longer was the camera a very complicated gadget that will be costly just to get a picture developed; it was now a fast and reliable way to get the photo in an instant. Simply point, shoot, and print. The photo is now available in your hands. Today, the instant camera is pretty much obsoleted by the newer and more convenient DSLRs and digital cameras on phones, but for some, this type of shooter is still very fun to own, especially if you are still a fan of the printed photo.
One of most unique features that the instant camera possess is its built-in developing system, printing out the picture instantly as you snap a photo. You can load up the shooter with pre-size photo papers that will turn into developed photos, once you shoot a scene or a person with the camera. While a bit bulky and big, this type of device is still popular for the very casual people, who still value printed photos for their scrap book, or for some photographers who would need a physical copy of their photos in an instant. There are multiple brands of the instant cameras still in circulation on the market today, with brands like the Polaroid cameras and the Fujifilm Instax still selling fast due to its high fanbase. If you are planning to get the most suitable instant shooter for you, you can start looking through online review sites and e-commerce shops for the list of available instant cameras around.

The History of Borneo Wildlife Preservation
Borneo Wildlife Preservation* (BWP) is a 501(c)(3) public charity, founded in 2014 by renowned Animal Trainer & Behaviorist, Katerina (Kat) Pirelli. Borneo Wildlife Preservation.
Borneo Wildlife Preservation was created by Ms. Pirelli's passion, drive, and commitment to protecting wildlife and her belief in education and awareness for a better future of sustainability for the preservation of our planet. She also is an advocate for plant based diets and strongly advocates the necessity for change to stop animal cruelty, the needless pain and suffering brought to sentient beings of all species, and the environmental impact brought on by Livestock Production and Factory Farming. She also feels deeply that the future of our planet depends on awareness and conscious daily decisions made by everyone. That's why Borneo Wildlife Preservation is helping to facilitate international educational programs teaching children about the importance of sustainability, the Borneo rainforest and the importance of preserving its bio-diverse ecosystems. Due to habitat destruction from logging and oil palm plantations there are many animals in extreme danger of extinction.
We feel it is crucial for us to stay mindful and conscious of our daily decisions on what we purchase and eat in order to help species that are being dramatically and negatively affected by our choices. We can all make a difference with some very minor changes to our daily lives for the well being of our planet.
MISSION STATEMENT: Promoting vital solutions to animal suffering, clear cutting of rainforests, and sustainability of renewable natural resources.

text: Environment ministers from around the world flew in to Mexico yesterday for the final days of the climate-change talks in Cancun, which threatened to fracture over Chinese-led demands for concessions from the West. Campaigners marched in London yesterday to demand action. As a sign of the work still to be done, only 170 words out of 1,300 on two pages of a key text were undisputed on the "shared vision" of what delegates hoped to accomplish. However, a further issue is now being cited as a significant obstacle in the fight against climate change—corruption.

Modified Transcript of "OBX SERIOUS CATASTROPHIC Accidents Personal Injury Attorney" for the Hearing Impaired
Hi. I'm Danny Glover with Glover Law Firm in Elizabeth City. I've been representing people with personal injuries in northeastern North Carolina for over 22 years.
Thanks for visiting the site. As you've probably seen, I have a number of pages for specific types of injury cases, motorcycle wrecks, bike wrecks, truck wrecks, car wrecks. But I want to talk to you for a little bit about personal injuries in general.
You may have even gotten to my site by typing in the word "personal injury lawyer" but what does that really mean? Well, personal injuries are … That word encompasses a bunch of different types of civil cases. Cases involving claims against insurance companies, cases that could end up resulting in a lawsuit against the person responsible for causing you an injury.
Different than criminal cases. We're not talking about crimes or criminal charges or prosecutors. We're talking about claims against insurance companies for the money owed because of the harms and losses suffered by an injury.
You could suffer the injury in any number of ways. Jet skis, nursing home, medical malpractice, car wreck, truck wreck, falling on a dangerous floor, falling down dangerous or unlit steps, it could be any number of things.
What are we trying to accomplish with these injury claims? Well, North Carolina law says that a person injured through the negligence or carelessness of another is entitled to certain elements of damages. Now, that's lawyer talk for the reasons you're entitled to money.
The easy ones, medical bills. But, you know, medical bills aren't quite so easy as they used to be because several years ago, North Carolina law changed and so now you're only entitled to a certain part of your medical expenses.
Lost income, the amount of time, or the amount of benefits you lost at work because you were unable to work because of the wreck or the fall or the negligence of another.
Pain and suffering. That is the physical pain and the mental aggravation that you suffer because of the wreck and the injuries. There's no formula for that. That's subject to discussion and negotiation with the insurance company or it's up to the jury to decide how much you're entitled to based on the facts and circumstances of your case, the proof you present in court, and then them using their common sense about what that's worth.
Future medical bills. If your doctor says that more likely than not you can reasonably expect to have certain medical procedures in the future, then you are entitled to get in your settlement now enough money necessary to pay for those in the future. Future pain and suffering. If you have to have future surgery, you're going to have to have a future recovery. You're going to have to have future pain. You're going to have to miss work in the future. You're entitled to all of that when your case is resolved now, so that you are not out of pocket when that occurs in the future. Permanent scarring is another element of damages. Wrongful death. If you've lost a loved one, a family member, due to the carelessness or negligence of another, then wrongful deaths are a type of personal injury case and they have their own complicated set of damages that you are entitled to recover from the at fault person and his or her insurance company.
Now, in North Carolina, our personal injury cases are complicated by a very unfair area of law called contributory negligence.
What that means is in North Carolina, if you contribute in any way to your own wreck, fall, injuries, whatever, you are not entitled to recover a penny from the other person or their insurance company.
Even in a scenario where you are 5% at fault and the other person is 95% at fault, the law in North Carolina is you can recover nothing. Insurance companies use that defense as leverage to try to low-ball your settlement. That's a very real problematic area of personal injury law that lawyers have to deal with on a daily basis.
The other area that we have to deal with is the interplay between your health insurance, your medical treatment from the wreck or the fall, and the automobile insurance. Sometimes health insurance companies are entitled to reimbursement from your settlement, sometimes they're not.
ERISA, Medicare, MedicAid, state employees health benefit plan, federal employees health benefit plan, the county insurance pool, TRICARE, the federal government, all of these have different rules about what, if anything, they're entitled to recover from your settlement. It takes an attorney to weed through all of that to figure it out.
It's more than simply trying to get you a settlement. It's trying to get you the best possible settlement under North Carolina law and then dealing with all of these other issues to make sure that you keep as much of your settlement as possible under the law.
A lot of times, I talk to people a year or two after their wreck and they've tried to handle it on their own. Then they come to me and they want me to take over at that point. I can do that and I've done that many, many times.
But perhaps the best advice that I can give to you is contact an experienced injury attorney as soon as possible following your injury so that the attorney can help you avoid making mistakes that are going to cost you money from your settlement. Those mistakes, there could be a million of them. The sooner an attorney is involved, the better off you will be, I can promise you.
If you have any questions about a personal injury case, please call me. Again, I'm Danny Glover, Glover Law Firm. 252-299-5300 or you can email me at email@example.com.

interface and Device for a tutorial by dchanWatch
©2017-2018 dchan
I made this Fictional user Interface (FUI), for a tutorials series I was planning while ago. I forgot about this because I didn't like it so much, it's a bit generic to my taste, but I remembered I made intentionally generic in order to be easily understood by anyone watching the tutorial. That said I decided to post it here, since I made my peace with the genericness of this. hah!
I modeled the device and the environment in Modo and made the 2D designs in illustrator and Modo, the hologram 3D model I kit-bashed some stuff from Bulgarov's assets I bought while ago plus my own assets.

I couldn't say when I bought this Astor polish, but it had to be way back in spring. Since then I wanted to try it several times, but I always chose another ones instead of this. Although I liked it in the bottle, I didn't wish my nails to have this colour on. I suppose it has to do something with the fact that it was summer, because as soon as the weather turned to a bit more chilly, my first thing to do was to grab this orange beauty. :)
You obviously have to be bored that I can't stop raving about Astor's pink nail polish,but it really is fantastic. Well, this orange one is just the same. It's incredibly pigmented, easy to apply, has a wonderful brush, covers with 2 coats, dries quickly, so: I LOVE it. Love love love it.
I was thinking about killing two birds with one stone, so I applied OPI's Oy-Another Polish Joke on my ringfinger. I knew when I bought the mini set, that I would like this one least out of the four, and boy, I was right. It has a very weak coverage, so I think it's rather a top coat, but I applied it just on its own, so I needed 3 coats to get that much opacity. I guess I will give it another go before Christmas, maybe I'll like it then.
I'm so sorry, that Astor don't bring a lot more shades from their Quick'n Go line in Hungary! They are absolutely gorgeous. *_* But it seems to me just now, that they have a turquoise one too, I have to check it, because I'm in love with this formule. :)

We took part in the mile run - it was hard work but we all kept going to the end! We also went over to the church hall to do some circuit training with some of the trainers at Holt Park. Have a look at us in action!
Today we have been learning some street dancing moves with Miss Hayley from Elevation Dance. Then this afternoon we went up to David Lloyd and took part in some really good fun activities.
Today we had a go at riding our bikes around the playground, even though it was raining! Then we came back inside and did some nice, relaxing yoga.
Today we did the Big Skip. It was hard to keep skipping for such a long time but we all did our best not to stop!
Today we took part in some football matches. The whole school was outside playing, and we competed in teams against the Year 2 children. Then in the afternoon we took part in the fun run with the rest of the school . It has been a really tiring week but we feel much fitter and healthier! Help us to keep it going by encouraging us to exercise regularly and eat 5 pieces of fruit/veg a day!!!

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
WARNING: Spoilers!
Now that Jon Snow is back on Game of Thrones, and teaming up with Sansa for Stark fans' happiest reunion yet, we need to talk about Ygritte.
First off: Ygritte who?
In the melee of patricide, White Walkers, and conflagration that is season six, it can be easy to forget Jon Snow's arrow-slinging redheaded girlfriend from seasons two through four. Sure, we praised Rose Leslie's excellent performance and attempted her round-syllabled delivery of "You know nothing," but Ygritte was unique among Game of Thrones' whole enormous dramatis personae, and the resurrection of Jon Snow means we have to think about her again.
George R.R. Martin, David Benioff, et al have drawn a direct connection between Ygritte and the show's other "red woman," our new mistress of resurrection, Melisandre. Last season, Mel even tried seducing Jon Snow using Ygritte's catchphrase.
But what made Ygritte unique in the show's universe was that she valued love — real, romantic, all-encompassing, hide-in-a-cave-and-never-come-out love — more than any combination of power, vengeance, honor, self-preservation, or fear. And in this, she embodied the thematic underpinning of the entire series.
Ygritte's philosophy, in a nutshell, was that those who love each other need to hold on tight, affiliations and ideologies be damned. "The Night's Watch don't care if you live or die," she tells Jon Snow after their racy night together in the cave. "We're just soldiers in their armies, and there's plenty more to carry on if we go down. It's you and me that matters to me and you."
Even once he's betrayed her and she becomes obsessed with killing him, she never wavers from this belief. She is the twin question at the heart of the series: what do we want personally versus globally, and which do we choose to favor? That is, how do we balance our desires for our own pleasure against our obligations to family and nation? These are the questions that bridge the gap from Westeros to planet Earth. They are the reason the series resonates, and Ygritte is their epitome.
Once Ygritte chooses not to kill Jon Snow and gets an arrow to the heart for her trouble, her last original words are: "We should've stayed in that cave." They are the whole show in microcosm. What would happen if we all stayed put? If we remained with those we loved, if Ned Stark never went to King's Landing? Ygritte is the character who considers the proposition most seriously.
She is also the locus of the most purely joyful scenes in the entire show. The panned-out, sunset-hued, episode-ending kiss at the top of the Wall; the smiling pillow talk beside the waterfall in the cave; where else does Game of Thrones separate so completely from the surrounding war and violence and give us a few minutes' worth of pure love story? With Ygritte, stoic Jon Snow laughs.
And so for him, the question is: do I want happiness for myself with Ygritte, for my family the Starks, for my people south of the wall — or, in the game of thrones, is happiness not the goal at all?
The whole show seems to point to the latter. No, happiness is not the point. This is consistently disturbing for those of us among the viewers who, like Ygritte, may view happiness as the only point, or at least the greatest. And finally in Ygritte we had a voice, and one that mattered, and one whose case the show took seriously.
Ultimately, Ygritte dies. Happiness does not win in Game of Thrones; it rarely even rears its head. But she brought to the show the entire thematic weight of her question: What about love?
We saw Robb in love, and it was his downfall. We saw Kat's and Cersei's love for their respective children, which led to poor tactical decision-making and an epic walk of shame. We saw love-as-downfall, seemingly, with Jon Snow. His respect for the wildlings, as an extension of his love for a dead Ygritte, directly occasioned his assassination.
But he's back now. And maybe, just maybe, love will turn out not to be Jon Snow's downfall after all.

DUTCHESS COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Alzheimer's Association Hudson Valley Chapter will begin offering its Music School Programs in Dutchess and Ulster counties this spring.
"This is my passion, working with people with Alzheimer's and dementia. I am really excited to be expanding so much," said Melinda Burgard, certified music therapist/New York State licensed creative arts therapist, who oversees the sessions.
The programs are currently offered in Orange County and provide a safe, therapeutic place for participants with Alzheimer's and family caregivers to enjoy music and form new friendships.
"It becomes a kind of support group," Burgard said. "Caregivers get to see their loved one happy and functioning."
Participants are encouraged to play and share instruments, with program direction differing from session to session depending on their interests on a given day.
"I work in a gestalt moment," Burgard said. "If someone says something, I might start a trail of songs about what they're talking about so they can get their emotion out and know that they're heard. It's just validating their emotions."
Music Social Program for people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease and their family caregivers will be held from 2 to 3:30 on the first Tuesday of every month at Braemar at Wallkill and from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month at Mahopac Public Library.
Middle-stage Music School Programs will take place at the following places and times:
- Wingate at Dutchess in Fishkill: the fourth Thursday of every month from 2 to 3:30 p.m. beginning March 24
- Wingate at Ulster in Highland: the first Thursday of every month beginning April 7 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
- Rhinebeck Room at Glen Arden: the second Friday of every month from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
- Albert Wisner Public Library in Warwick: the third Friday of every month from 1 to 3:30 p.m.
Pre-registration is required by calling 800-272-3900.

Excerpt #2: Customer Experience - Chap 21 from CRM @ The Speed of Light, 4th ed.
I have to be straight with you. I'm entering the head down, grind it, drive to the goal line when it comes to CRM at the Speed of Light's 4th edition.
Paul Greenberg focuses on not only what CRM is but where its going in this blog on CRM strategy, technology, stories, companies and personalities.
I have to be straight with you. I'm entering the head down, grind it, drive to the goal line when it comes to CRM at the Speed of Light's 4th edition.
I'm going to try something out here. I am ready to cringe as the tomatoes and old iPods are thrown at me, or the praise is showered on me...
CRM Playaz Episode #9Welcome to CRM Playaz Episode #9. Yeah, we're still in business.
This is a poll that can start settling some issues that seem to be of interest to many. Some crowdsourcing is in order to find out in the world of technology, who are the analyst organizations or categories that you trust the most when it comes to a good, clean honest look at the enterprise technology industry.
In my post on SAP Sapphire 09,Day 1, I was generally very happy with what I saw SAP doing at Sapphire this year. Very happy.
SAP is always a bit of a conundrum to me. They have extraordinarily talented people, an incredibly deep product portfolio that they are always extending, more often than not make good acquisitions that take some time but work out all in all, and seem to be actually dedicated to transforming their ecosystem - internal and network - when the world's conditions merit it.
CRM Playaz Episode #8We are back again. Still posting it here on ZDNET.
I need to make something clear from the start. I'm a diehard NY Rangers fan when it comes to hockey.
I imagine you're wondering what one has to do with the other since they're terms not associated with one another. Let me tell you a story:Back in late January of this year, I went to Mumbai to keynote and teach at a conference on Loyalty and Advocacy in India sponsored by the Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Management Studies and Research (BVIMSR).
CRM Playaz Episode #7This episode is our shortest and maybe the sweetest we've ever done because of all the s's in it. Brent and I riff on pretty much all of life and upcoming events in the world of CRM including Sage Insights 2009 and SAP's SAPPHIRE.
If there's one thing that characterizes a recession when it comes to CRM or enterprise applications desirability, its the pricing. Pricing schemes are a big deal for potential customers.
CRM Playaz Episode #6I suppose I should be covering Oracle's acquisition of Sun but I think that ZDNET blogger Larry Dignan does the seminal job on it here so read it here. I'm putting up the next episode of CRM Playaz, which very soon will be moving to Hubspot, our sponsor and BTW, our friends.
Back in the 60s the Cold War left pushed for a solution to the U.S.
Okay, all. Here's Episode #5CRM Playaz Episode #5Brent and I not only start on the baseball season, but we do some preliminary stuff including talking about his webinar on the use of social media tools at Hubspot, which, incidentally is the Playaz first sponsor.
I've been torn. I'm trying to figure out who is the leading technology innovation pack at this juncture but the changes come so fast and so furiously that its become almost impossible to pinpoint it.

Everyone deserves to look good; looking good has never been easier with the technology we have today. Listed below are some of the gadgets to help you with your aim to appear and feel better.
- Purifying Cleansing Brush
Our skin needs to remain healthy and glowing. Having a clean skin is a prerequisite for that. Owning a cleansing brush will help you achieve this mission easily. It has gentle bristles which remove every impurity, dirt and oil on your skin. The bristles are made to be compatible with every skin type to avoid skin irritation. There is no need for skin exfoliation if you constantly use a purifying cleansing brush. This technology runs on battery so you can carry it anywhere.
- Facial Hair Remover
A clean face also needs to be hair free. Facial hair easily grows so regular shaving must be maintained. However, it is difficult to get it done by a professional as needed. This gadget is a blend of epilator and scrubbing bristle which shaves unwanted facial hair. It can be used to clean any part of your face. It is best to do the hair cleaning hours before leaving your house because it may cause some facial redness.
- Skin roller
While this gadget may cause pain, the results will be worth it. It is an elongated wheeled stick which is used to lessen pores and remove gray scales. It also makes the skin softer and gives way for growth of fresh skin cells. The wheel contains pins which causes the pain. The process of rolling the pinned wheels on the skin enhances blood flow towards the facial skin and enriches its health.
- Multi Hair Styler
No woman likes to go out on a bad hair day. Keeping up with hair trends is a necessity for a modern woman. The multi hair styler is needed to keep up with changing hair styles. This gadget is equipped with curlers, spiral brush and straightening iron. Whether you want a wavy, ringed or straight hair style, you can achieve it with this gadget. Styling your hair with mobile hair extensions Leicester is also a great idea to remain stylish.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri schools could face a $24 million funding shortfall because tax revenues from casinos are falling short of projections.
The executive director of the Missouri Gaming Commission warned the state's budget director of the revenue gap in a letter shortly before Christmas. The document was provided Wednesday to The Associated Press.
Gaming Commission director Roger Stottlemyre says casinos had been expected to produce about $372 million for education this year. That forecast assumed that a 2008 ballot measure removing gamblers' loss limits would result in more revenues.
But Stottlemyre says the slow economy continues to affect casinos, and they're now expected to generate about $348 million for education this year.
A spokesman for Gov. Jay Nixon says he will look for ways to fill that shortfall.

Balancing life's commitments such as family, relationships, and careers can be stressful at times. If this stress is not managed it can easily turn into emotional and physical health concerns
Fatigue, Headache, Muscle Tension, Change in Appetite, Teeth Grinding, Feeling Dizzy, Chronic or Acute Pain, Lack of Concentration, Change in Sleeping Habits (or difficulty sleeping), Anxiety Experiencing Irritability or Frustration, Feeling Nervous, Lack of Energy
. If you or someone you share your life with is experiencing these symptoms I would like to offer my help through Reiki and other energy modalities.
I spent 22 years in a corporate environment and understand the stress that is associated with balancing the responsibilities of family life and the pressures of a full time corporate position. I began to see that the stress I was experiencing was having a dramatic impact on my emotional and physical body and that stress was bubbling over and impacting my family (including my animals). I began to look for alternate ways to relieve the stress outside of traditional medical care and medications. The introduction of Reiki and other energy modalities was life changing for me. I found a new sense of confidence, balance and peace which soon opened a new career for me as an energy practitioner to help others. What I love about this work is that improvement is often seen in many areas of your life, not just what you came for.
I also have a passion of working with animals and helping them find a relief to the stress that they feel living in our world. This stress can show up as separation anxiety, aggression, fear, sensitive stomachs, nervous habits (the list goes on). Working with people and their animals brings healing to the entire family unit.

Not everybody can be a Dirk and stay on one team and finally and literally single handedly get it done and win a championship with a cast of mediocre players around him (Dirk in 2011). Obviously KD didn't think he could get it done in OKC with a triple double machine Westbrook as his teammate so he did the only logical thing - join a sure fire championship caliber, 73 game winning GS team.
Yes I was just trolling you here. I think KD joining the Warriors after they won 73 games was beyond a joke. I don't fault GS but I do think it was weak for him to leave OKC for GS out of fear that he wasn't good enough to anchor a championship team without an already championship caliber team around him
Damn some of you guys take this way too serious that you guys have to start using personal insults. It's not that serious

Do we got some hater on hater crime going on on this page? lol
Basically went the way I figured it would. Yawn. I expect more of the same......but hey, building your opponent up makes those improbable victories all the more sweeter. ****ing joke.
And congrats, likemystylez. Youve become the worst poster on this site with your absolute dog **** takes and lol showing his true colors and getting permabanned for racist comments.

Today, we rip the hearts out of these ****in' haters!!! - Demeco Ryans pregame speech vs ATL
Dwight definitely would have benefited from just figuring out the best role for himself and playing to those strengths (yes like pick and roll) moreso than trying to be the man. The spacing out teams around him in Orlando were the way to go just needed a Harden in those days.
I just think it is so obvious which guys are more talented individually and which ones are playing their role great type of thing and that's what is going on here a bit. Capela is a great player with room to grow but again he just relies on others so much more for his impact/stats whereas Klay and even Green to an extent bring it with or without that support (posted earlier but series without Curry/KD they were fine carrying the load).
You guys got the W and I made some cash so can't be too mad lol.

Science in the Latin language means knowledge. To say science in Latin is to say knowledge in English. It delivered us with a convenient expression of thought. Consciousness!
Daimon or daemon are Greek words which have delivered to us the word demon. Demon in the "Greek" then, means knowledge.
Interestingly enough, the word demon has become polluted with negative connotations. To have demons in one's mind no longer means to be having thoughts, thinking about something, or making sense of the world. Possessed by demons or demonic possession are now common place extractions of Pseudo-Ideas floating around in everyone's minds. Your brain has problems with thinking and/or has lost control of your bodily functions. There are not really any demons or devils living it there!
To seek knowledge, is to do science. To make up an English word would give us something like Knowiousness. Consciousness is not user friendly to the brain! The brains knowledge state differs enough to make learning truth difficult and has less to do with faith then reason. The brain is set on ignore in most cases. If the Earth stopped rotating, not only would you fall flat on your face, but the Atlantic Ocean would change places with the Pacific Ocean. You would not survive. Since this is true, why would you even have to know this? That is a bigger problem than faith.
Pseudoscience is a result of Pseudo-ideas! Faith only harbors these bad ideas until better ideas come along. Being closed in faith prevents exposure of bad ideas. An example of this would be a miracle. Magi, magic and miracle stem from the same root word source: unexplained! If you don't know how something works, then it is magic! Why can't you just say "I don't know (yet)" and move on?
Consciousness is a huge problem because questioning was the last faculty to evolve in man: conscious questioning! Conscious questioning? Yes, the ability to intentionally direct questions to answer conflicting truths. This is true science! To seek truth! To prove the merits of good ideas and to debunk the fallacious thinking within the bad ideas. To bare all facts and parade them naked for all to see.
The universe is huge and huge equals old! Why would God create an old universe and call it young? Natural selection works and works very well. Why would evolution have to be designed when it works just fine without design?
I believe in a deity! When you are doing science, do science and not religion. Keep religion for your faith building not your knowledge building.

WASHINGTON — The United States and the Soviet Union concluded a round of talks Thursday on ways to improve methods for the verification of underground testing of nuclear weapons and agreed to meet again in September.
A State Department official said the weeklong round of discussions by experts in Geneva ended on a positive note. But there was no resolution, the official said, of sharp political differences on nuclear testing.

The extraordinary story of how Dutch sailors found Australia and an English pirate almost beat Captain Cook. Rob Mundle is back on the water with another sweeping and powerful account of Australian maritime history. It is the story of 17th-century European mariners – sailors, adventurers and explorers – who became transfixed by the idea of the existence of a Great South Land: 'Terra Australis Incognita'.
Rob takes you aboard the tiny ship, Duyfken, in 1606 when Dutch navigator and explorer, Willem Janszoon, and his 20-man crew became the first Europeans to discover Australia – on the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria. In the decades that followed, more Dutch mariners, like Hartog, Tasman, and Janszoon (for a second time), discovered and mapped the majority of the coast of what would become Australia. Yet, incredibly, the Dutch made no effort to lay claim to it, or establish any settlements. This process began with British explorer and former pirate William Dampier on the west coast in 1688, and by the time Captain Cook arrived in 1770, all that was to be done was chart the east coast and claim what the Dutch had discovered.

Partners for Progressive Israel condemns in the strongest terms recent statements by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Chairman of the Coalition David Bitan threatening to revoke the citizenship of B'Tselem's executive director, Hagai El-Ad, in retaliation for the latter's testimony about the occupation before the United Nations Security Council.
As Jews and members of an organization with a long history of affiliation with the Zionist movement we express our particular revulsion at these threats by Israeli government officials. Israel is still a democracy. Hagai El-Ad has broken no law. Yet the rightwing nationalist parties that lead the current government threaten a punishment only used by dictatorships in retaliation against a citizen for exercising his democratic right to speak.
Need we remind the government of a Jewish state that revocation of citizenship is contrary to international law? It is abhorrent as well because of the Jewish experience in the twentieth century, in which we were the first people to experience widespread condemnation to statelessness as a prelude to the Holocaust. The right of return also remains of paramount importance to Jews everywhere. Can Israeli citizenship or the right of return be conditioned on political behavior deemed satisfactory to the current government, subject to revocation at any time?
B'Tselem finds itself the subject of government persecution for challenging the Occupation before the United Nations. The Occupation is unsustainable in terms of the continuation of Israel as a Jewish state and corrosive to Israeli democracy. Acquiescence to it cannot be a condition either of the citizenship of Jews in Israel or of the exercise of the Right of Return from the diaspora. With this latest threat to Mr. El-Ad, the current Israeli government is on its way to repudiating the basic principle of Zionism itself as it further cuts away at Israeli democracy.

Meet Christina Bailey,
She Lives With Kidney Disease
"Imagine learning you have kidney disease when you're only 12. The medication I was on caused me to gain a lot of weight, and after a few years I had to go on dialysis. Without the support of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, I would not have learned how to manage my disease, received a transplant — and finished university."
– Christina Bailey
Focal Segmental Glomerulo Sclerosis (FSGS) is a mouthful to say. Try saying it when you're only 12 years old. Then try understanding what this kidney disease means for you.
Christina Bailey was just finishing grade 7 when she was diagnosed with FSGC, which is really scarring in the kidney to some, not all, of the clusters of tiny blood vessels that filter waste from the blood (called glomerulo). She was shocked when she was given the news, then more shocked when the medications she was prescribed caused her to gain a lot of weight. "The change was extreme," says her mom. "From grade 7 to 8 you would not have recognized her."
By the time Christina was 16 years old, the disease had progressed. The medication she was on was changed, but this only bought her two years of time before she had to start dialysis treatments. She was just 18 — a time in her life when she wanted to be 'normal' like anyone else. "I wanted to go to university, live in a dorm — do all the things an 18-year-old should be able to do," she says.
With the help of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, which gave her the answers she needed, Christina was able to take the big step and go to university. The Foundation — one of 16 national health charities working under the HealthPartners umbrella to transform the health of Canadians — gave her information and guidance on how to manage school, provided recipe books to ensure she stayed on a proper diet, and , most of all, gave her the confidence that she needed to live an independent life. With the aid of a nocturnal dialysis machine, Christina spread her wings. She was 23 when she received a kidney transplant, and she finished her degree in 2013.
"I am healthy and living life to the fullest," says Christina. "I am living proof that donating to HealthPartners works."
The Kidney Foundation of Canada is dedicated to kidney health and improved lives for all people affected by kidney disease. The Kidney Foundation reduces the burden of kidney disease by funding and stimulating innovative research, by providing education and support, and by promoting kidney health, organ donation and access to quality healthcare.
HealthPartners proudly supports The Kidney Foundation of Canada.
