i saw the unretouched photos for this ad, and madonna looks scary!ReplyDelete
I think we can thank photoshop for that :pReplyDelete
lol that's funny about the grandma. I have to give Madonna credit because she still rocks. She was original in her time & I think she still got it! I wouldn't want to see the untouched photos for these. I can imagine there is a reason why they are in black & white! lol! HA!ReplyDelete
Yeah definitely wouldn't want to see these untouched.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I think she looks nice, but I havent seen the untouched..yikes!!ReplyDelete
Photoshopped much? Lol It's IMPOSSIBLE her face looks so flawless with all the smoking and drugs from her past rebel years!
Lol thanks for this, had a good giggle!
ohhh goodness...haha, this was a riot. go madge?ReplyDelete
Hey Julie, your captions are hilarious.. perfect sequence of her "day"! After looking at 3pm pic with the granny, I suppose she's quite young after all.
As for the tees, I actually sent you a message on fb! hehe I thought it would be easier to communicate there instead of having scattered comments :)
Madge creeps me out to no end these days. She has to lay the leotards and tights to rest for everyone's sake.ReplyDelete
Where is this fountain of youth she's on?! Freaky muscles
but she looks darn good for her age
i knew that madonna made a break in the music industry but then that was wayyyyyyy back when i was still a baby...or maybe when i wasn't even born. is madonna expecting that she can still do the things that she does 26 years ago?!
I just can't imagine how she really looks like without photoshopping this!
If you actually didn't say that this is madonna i would never guess in a million years that this is her...actually up until now, i am scrolling it up triple checking it!
why can't some people just accept the fact that their skin is too gnarled already to pose like this?!
i wouldn't be surprised if ever she is already on the deathbed & she would still wear a see-through, flimsy nightie in the hopes of bringing all the boys in the throes of passion upon seeing her clad like that... puh-lease!
this is great campaign.
interesting post as always.
Nicola freshONpr
LOL She's far from being a Grandmother but I loved this post anyway ; ) Thanks for making me laugh!ReplyDelete
I love your blog so much you have no idea!!!! hahahahahaha! Rolling around on floor laughing!
Haha, love your commentary!ReplyDelete
Hilarious! She actually doesn't look too bad in the pic of her walking with the kid with the bag of apples. BUT of course she's photoshopped to kingdom come. SHE USED to look like this in the 80's,,,curvy and sexy. Now she's all ripped,sinewy and old looking. TOO much yoga and pilates could be a bad thing, no?!ReplyDelete
I love Madge but she is a walking photoshop crime. There is NONE of that "embrace your age" here.
Great blog im following! :)
QueenBee; xx
Photoshop but I love this campaign so much!
Julie -- omg i should not read your post during my work meetings! lol. i started giggling reading your captions and everyone was like WTF.
Madge-- i think she should give up the sex symbol status...its about time.
Madonna should retire and pass the sex symbol status to those of age. :))
Don't get me wrong, she was wonderful in her time but she should cover up now. It's not suitable. Then again, since when has she cared for what's appropriate?
What ever happened to her 20 year old Latino lover? :)
wow i saw one of her pictures on the mag and her skin looks stunning, all thanks to the botox, but her hands are as wrinkly as a dog's saggy cheek. I do wonder whether she's going to get botox done when she ages to 60 or 70 years old.ReplyDelete
I think maybe Madona should really retirer already... Honestly, didn't she got everything she wanted already?
Venoma :)
Your comments are hilarious, baking a pie and bingo night :)) Well, about ANTM, one of the sister got kicked out last episode.ReplyDelete
Ha ha! You make me laugh and thank goodness I need that in this stuff and boring office today. I'd rather go boots shopping with you!
Thanks! I wasn't going to do that competition but my sister keeps pushing me. The lots and lots of form were very discouraging!

i love the black and white photos. so beautiful.ReplyDelete
You are too funny girl!!ReplyDelete
Loving this post!! Madonna scares me, full stop. :)SarahDReplyDelete
Gosh, who cares what Madonna looks like without make up. By the time we're her age we probably won't look 21 either. The campaign is cool! Thanks for posting!
Quench Fab
Thank you that you like my pictures. Octoberfst is ok, but really to mutch people. Yes the falling leafs are romantic it s my mood of felling at the moment to find romantic places. Think I need a boyfriend...
Anyway hugs from munich
She looks great in these - but then again, Photoshop does wonders (as does b/w photography). I definitely get that 'Cougars are Us' vibe from this as well ;-)ReplyDelete
Lol i saw the unphotoshoped pic and was scared!
I love the spread!
LOL! You're freakin hilarious.. I think I saw an unretouched version of one of the pictures (can't remember) but I do remember it being scary looking. =O
But I guess I wouldn't mind looking like this when I'm her age.. except I wouldn't be white with blonde hair.
Hahah - Can't believe Madonna is still going strong!!ReplyDelete
LOL @ "Madge poses beside an even older woman to clarify that she's NOT an old hag." Hilarious! These step-by-step photos could teach even Samantha from Sex and the City a thing or two about being a cougar.ReplyDelete
I still think she looks gorgeous though.ReplyDelete
okay this is frickin brills! i about died laughing at the how to catch a young piece line. BAHAHAHAHA!!
have you ever heard that she sleeps wrapped in olive oil lined saran wrap (or some sort of plastic wrap)? even with touching up, grandma looks gooood. springer would agree, i'm sure. hehe
Lol!! She does try quite hard. What's wrong with growing old gracefully?ReplyDelete
Except for the first picture, her face looks fake.
I have a pun, but instead of sharing it I am just going to start whistling and backing away slowly.
lol @ the captions XD you made my day! xoxoReplyDelete
OMG, this is hilarious!ReplyDelete
aww for the longest time its just now that ive seen madonna posing for mag again! or can't remember the last time..She's still gorgeous even if shes old now :)well make up makes the magic! Am sure .. But the shots are weird hehehe its kinda funny actually..ReplyDelete

I love the photos, and Madonna doesn't look at all her age. (Thanks photoshop :p)
Yes, poor Madonna for the unretouched photos being leaked. She looked scary, not just bad, SCARY!

Garden fresh, Y-film's first production perfectly hits its target audience of teenyboppers with the Indian version of the typical American High School movie format (read a mish mash of Mean Girls, American Pie ala). The protagonist, Rhea (Shraddha Kapoor) is the adorable girl-next-door who leads the ideal life – chill parents, the richest & most popular boy in college, Luv Nanda (Taaha Shah) as her doting boyfriend and two childhood BFFs who are always by her side. On the eve of her 18th birthday, Luv swoons her to take the next 'big step' in their relationship.
But wait. Her sugary life goes all sour when she discovers what a jerk her sweetie pie really is. From the touch-me-not sweet & harmless virgin, Rhea transforms into an explosive revenge seeking jilted lover. There is no 'rona-dhona' or confrontations to resolve the matters of the heart. "Move on" is this generations mantra, but not without "getting even". With her girl friends in toe, she promises to "have him by the balls"! Boys beware, cheating has dire consequences and this movie might give some spurned girls a few wild ideas!
Complete with all the standard characters – techie nerds, stalkers, a 'hot girls' trio (straight out of "Mean Girls, it's the fun & full timepass teen movie with a strong chick flick undertone. Superb choreography, direction & execution, there isn't a minute of boredom. With a plot reminiscent of John Tucker Must Die, it's still a story fresh for Bollywood & one that audiences will readily lap up. The music is peppy and the title track is one that gets stuck in your head in a good way! (Wish "the Mutton song" was cut on the editing board; it's horrifying).
All the characters fit their roles perfectly. Jugs, Rhea's size-zero challenged friend is a nice surprise and looks promising. Even Rhea has given a commendable performance. Her boyfriend, Taaha though comes off as stiff and needs more work on his acting skills. Archana Puransingh is the lively "wannabe cool" mom and is her usual sprightly self.
Prediction: We all know what it's like when guys turn out to be complete a$$es. So, gals, grab your BFFs and head to the theatre this weekend to GET EVEN!

I intended to write a very different book from this one: a how-to book about the interaction-design process. Instead, in May 1997 on a family visit to Tuscany, my friends Don McKinney and Dave Carlick talked me into this one. They convinced me that I needed to address a business audience first.
They knew I wanted to write a how-to design book, and—although they were encouraging—they expressed their doubts about the need for interaction design, and they wanted me to write a book to convince them of its value. Their argument was intriguing, but I was unsure that I could write the book they wanted.
Late one night on the veranda of our shared ochre villa overlooking Firenze, I was having an earnest conversation with Dave and Don. Several empty bottles of Chianti stood on the table, along with the remains of some bread, cheese, and olives. The stars shone brightly, the fireflies danced over the lawn, and the lights on the ancient domes of the Tuscan capital twinkled in the distance. Once again, Dave suggested that I postpone the idea of a how-to book on design and instead "make the business case for interaction design."
I protested vigorously, "But Dave, I don't know how to write that book." I ticked off the reasons on my fingertips. "It means that I'd have to explain things like how the current development process is messed up, how companies waste money on inefficient software construction, how unsatisfied customers are fickle, and how a better design process can solve that."
Dave interrupted me to say simply, "They're called chapters, Alan."
His remark stopped me dead in my tracks. I realized that I was reciting an old script, and that Dave was right. A book that made "the business case" was necessary—and more timely—than a book that explained "how to." And both Dave and Don convinced me that I really could write such a book.
The successful professional for the twenty-first century is either a business-savvy technologist or a technology-savvy businessperson, and I am writing for this person.
The technology-savvy businessperson knows that his success is dependent on the quality of the information available to him and the sophistication with which he uses it. The business-savvy technologist, on the other hand, is an entrepreneurial engineer or scientist trained for technology, but possessing a keen business sense and an awareness of the power of information. Both of these new archetypes are coming to dominate contemporary business.
You can divide all businesspeople into two categories: those who will master high technology and those who will soon be going out of business. No longer can an executive delegate information processing to specialists. Business is information processing. You differentiate yourself today with the quality of your information-handling systems, not your manufacturing systems. If you manufacture anything, chances are it has a microchip in it. If you offer a service, odds are that you offer it with computerized tools. Attempting to identify businesses that depend on high technology is as futile as trying to identify businesses that depend on the telephone. The high-tech revolution has invaded every business, and digital information is the beating heart of your workday.
It's been said, "To err is human; to really screw up, you need a computer." Inefficient mechanical systems can waste a couple of cents on every widget you build, but you can lose your entire company to bad information processes. The leverage that software-based products—and the engineers that build them—have on your company is enormous.
Sadly, our digital tools are extremely hard to learn, use, and understand, and they often cause us to fall short of our goals. This wastes money, time, and opportunity. As a business-savvy technologist/technology-savvy businessperson, you produce software-based products or consume them—probably both. Having better, easier-to-learn, easier-to-use high-tech products is in your personal and professional best interest. Better products don't take longer to create, nor do they cost more to build. The irony is that they don't have to be difficult, but are so only because our process for making them is old-fashioned and needs fixing. Only long-standing traditions rooted in misconceptions keep us from having better products today. This book will show you how you can demand—and get—the better products that you deserve.
The point of this book is uncomplicated: We can create powerful and pleasurable software-based products by the simple expedient of designing our computer-based products before we build them. Contrary to the popular belief, we are not already doing so. Designing interactive, software-based products is a specialty as demanding as constructing them.
Having made my choice to write the business-case book rather than the how-to design book, I beg forgiveness from any interaction designers reading this book. In deference to the business audience, it has only the briefest treatment of the actual nuts and bolts of interaction-design methodology (found primarily in Part IV, "Interaction Design Is Good Business"). I included only enough to show that such methodology exists, that it is applicable to any subject matter, and that its benefits are readily apparent to anyone, regardless of their technical expertise.

Mclean, VA (PRWEB) December 21, 2015
The MTConnect Student Challenge is extending the deadlines for both its Idea Creation and Application Development competitions. The new deadline for the ideas competition is March 15, 2016; the new deadline to submit applications is July 15, 2016.
MTConnect is an open, XML- and HTTP-based communications standard that works as the building block of the Industrial Internet of Things for manufacturing. The MTConnect Student Challenge is an innovation competition that taps into students' creativity and technical skills by asking them to create and develop ideas and applications that utilize MTConnect, which enables communication between and data collection from manufacturing equipment and devices.
The challenge is open to all U.S.-based college students at any level of study – graduate or undergraduate, university or community college.
The goal of the MTConnect Student Challenge is to improve manufacturing intelligence through student-created ideas and applications. As the manufacturing industry has increasingly moved toward the digital enterprise, small and medium-sized manufacturers have struggled to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by this technological revolution. MTConnect Student Challenge submissions will be judged on their ingenuity, ease of deployment, impact on industry, and overall quality. Students also benefit through their participation by potentially connecting with future employers, and also coming away with a project that demonstrates their knowledge and skill, and can be included in a professional portfolio.
The MTConnect Student Challenge encompasses two distinct competitions:
Idea Creation
Students are tasked with creating an idea for using MTConnect and writing a five-page paper that explains the idea. Students are encouraged to interview a manufacturer to learn about their specific issues, but it is not a requirement. Students are welcome to submit previously completed classwork that could be applicable to the use of MTConnect. Winners will be invited to attend the [MC]2 Conference in Dallas, April 19-21, 2016.
Full rules and details can be found at https://www.challenge.gov/challenge/mtconnectstudentideas/
Application Development
Ideas become reality in this competition, where contestants will be required to develop a working software application that utilizes MTConnect. Entrants will need to submit a written summary of the application, a video demonstrating the application in action, and an icon that represents the application. As with the Idea Creation competition, students can submit non-commercial projects previously completed, provided they utilize data in the MTConnect standard. Winners will be invited to attend IMTS-The International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, September 12-17, 2016.
Full rules and details can be found at https://www.challenge.gov/challenge/mtconnectstudentapps/
The MTConnect Student Challenge is sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Defense-wide Manufacturing Science and Technology (DMS&T) and executed by AMT-The Association For Manufacturing Technology, the U.S. Army Benét Labs, the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM), and the MTConnect Institute, in partnership with SME and the National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA).

Just when there has been a clamor for a rise and acceptability of entrepreneurship by youths in our country, a state government has decided to take the first step towards this. This they have done by creating a an ICT lab in their state. Just when it is needed.
The Kaduna state government, in collaboration of Zenith bank has launched an ICT lab in the state. They have also encouraged youths in the state to make the place a venue to be as it is expected to help them develop themselves in almost every way.
READ MORE: Meet The "Keep The Change Bruh" Web App
The mission of this newest ICT lab – which can pass as the first to be created by a state government – is "To serve as a hub for entrepreneurs, computer engineering, software development, sofware testing and IT training. To bring together world-class technologies and innovations."
In a series of tweets, the Governor of the state, Mall am Nasir El-rufai had said that "Transforming Kaduna into a regional ICT hub will provide jobs for our youths and trigger economic growth in the state." This is in its whole essence, the actual truth.

According to the Director General of NITDA, he said that "This is a rare opportunity, created by Kaduna State Government, that I encourage youths from within and outside the state to take advantage of."
Now, I believe the creation of this hub should serve as a very enormous challenge to the governments of every other state in Nigeria who believe that empowering youths is the way to go. Creation of such labs like this should be the order of the day as it is no more a hidden fact that there are more than enormous opportunities and ideas on the internet, so virtually everyone should be provided with an access online.
The ICT Hub was first a project in the UK that aimed to support voluntary and community-based organisations in England with their technology needs. It was set up in 2005 and closed in 2008.

The Hub worked to create sustainable environment whereby charities and community groups can benefit from the use of information and communications technology (ICT).
I'm quite sure some inspiration was drawn from the UK case above, but anyways, it is a win for Kaduna state… Head over to the hub's website – https://kadicthub.com/

NenaMark2 is an OpenGL|ES 2.0 benchmark for high-end mobile devices, continuing where the popular NenaMark1 left off with more advanced graphical effects and higher resolution graphics.
Unlike many other benchmarks, NenaMark measures performance using realistic scenes that could be taken from a typical game and presents the result in frames per second, i.e. providing an intuitive performance number that can be used for realistic comparisons between different devices.
Benchmark results from a wide variety of devices are available on the NenaMark site (http://nena.se/nenamark).

Oh Valiant Comics, why must you make me so happy! This is possibly the best time to become a Valiant Comic Fan. To not only have announced having a director for Sony's Bloodshot movie and now knowing Jeff Lemire (Bloodshot Reborn, Moon Knight) and extraordinary artists Lewis LaRosa (Bloodshot Reborn) & Mico Suayan (Bloodshot Reborn) heading into a DOUBLE STORYLINE with the up coming comic reboot. Details on description and preview are below:
Set in two timelines – the present day (with art by LaRosa) and the future (with art by Suayan) – Jeff Lemire's epic saga begins anew in BLOODSHOT SALVATION #1! Plus: The introduction of a major new force in the Valiant pantheon starts here as Bloodshot's daughter, Jessie, makes her milestone first appearance after an initial cameo in the VALIANT: X-O MANOWAR FCBD SPECIAL, arriving in stores this Free Comic Book Day!
"I think anyone who becomes a parent, their world view instantly changes. [Bloodshot] is no different," series writer Jeff Lemire told The Washington Post. "Being this character that comes from such a history of violence and has so much violence built into him, I think that would be terrifying. You wouldn't want to bring that into your child's life at all. I think that tension is exactly what the book is kind of about."
Now: In the arms of his beloved girlfriend Magic, Bloodshot has finally found hope for the future…in the form the couple's unborn child. But when Magic's estranged family – a cruel and sadistic clan of white supremacist criminals – re-emerge to lay claim to their lost daughter, Bloodshot will be pushed back to the brink of madness, mayhem, and warfare…
Soon: Eight years from today, Bloodshot's daughter has inherited her father's incredible abilities. Hunted by a high-tech kill squad called Omen, Jessie must hone her powers…and learn how to survive before the world is swallowed whole by the darkness that now pervades America…

On the anvil:
Professional help from Psychiatrists, Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the form of Columns and or Q and A.
Alternative therapy practitioners, too.
After all, bipolarindia is a bridge between you and people out to help you.
Meanwhile, here are a list of practical DO's and DON'T's from a veteran Bipolar (Me!!):
- Walk. Walking daily for 30 to 40 minutes helps in many ways. The fresh air makes you feel energetic, the exercise works as a mood elevator due to release of chemicals in the brain. I prefer walking in the early part of the evenings, amid nature and the sound of chirping birds.
- Smile as often as you can (even if you don't feel like it one bit!) Smiling sends the right sort of signals to the brain. The bonus- it is the cheapest make up known to mankind and makes you more personable!
- Laugh– Can't stress the value of this enough. Watch funny movies, read funny quips and cartoons, just about any antic that makes you see the brighter side of things.
- Music is known to have therapeutic qualities. The joy of enjoying a favourite oldie or some relaxing lounge music!! Try this at night time to relax your mind before you fall asleep.
- Exercises like aerobics and Yoga keep you fit and healthy besides they are a boost for the mind, too.
- Yoga, especially, has dramatic curative abilities. This could be practised by even healthy persons to keep stress at bay in the jet age we live in.
- Socialise: befriend new people, play with children, rejoice at their creativity and sense of fun
- Stay active and productive: the feeling that you are a no-gooder, a burden on society can be crippling
- Meditation: although a part of Yoga, needs special mention. Calming of the mind, clarity of thought, focus and improved concentration are the resultant benefits for the mind. New research has discovered startling general well being benefits, too.
- Spirituality: whatever your faith (unless you are an atheist) prayer has miraculous powers. The faith that the Supreme Being is listening to you, belief that your prayer will be met takes a huge burden off your shoulders.
- Breathing techniques: had the privilege of learning quite a few Yoga asanas as well as some Tibetan breathing techniques. During moments of stress breathing is rapid and shallow. By controlling your breathing you can calm down your mind and cope with panic attacks
- Self esteem: what others think of you is the least of your concerns, what do you think about yourself? If your self esteem is low you are prone to acquiring a inferiority complex that overshadows all your stellar qualities. Take care of your appearance, fitness, health and state of mind so that you never lower the guard.
- Engage yourself in hobbies. There is a strong link between Bipolar and creativity, why not make your creative streak your strength? An empty mind is a devil's workshop: your strong imagination, if not put to good use can cook up problems that just don't exist!
- Read Books, articles, Blogs…anything that inspires you, empowers you to fight the inner demons.
- Above all, RELAX! Nothing in the world is ever so important that it can't wait! Stress builds up when you are overwhelmed with the pressure of pending tasks and having fallen behind schedule. Make space for breaks in between to ensure boredom does not set in.
- Ultimately remember, even your darkest phase will pass over. Give it time, time heals like nothing else can
My self affirmation:
Am a HAPPY person! HAPPIER than I ever was!!
- Self pity is a dangerous, never ending pit to fall into. If you are keen to recover, courage and raising your tolerance threshold are required.
- Vices and substance addiction– these shortcuts are the coward's recourse of running away from reality. Be it alcohol, drugs or illicit relationships, vices will break your resolve and magnify your problem. Beware of unwanted serious reaction of substance abuse along with your prescribed medication!
- Underestimate the gravity of the illness: you'd be doing yourself no favour by neglecting the condition. Even qualified Physicians have the audacity to sometimes say that 'there is nothing much to be concerned about, you are being over-medicated'. (I speak from personal experience). Such conflicting advice can be destructive. ONLY your Psychiatrist is qualified to determine your condition and treat you.
- Withdrawal from medical regimen: most bipolar patients plainly refuse to seek Psychiatric treatment. Being treated and then suddenly dumping all your prescribed medicines can plunge you into a major episode of illness.
- Don't be afraid of a societal backlash and as a result, avoid going to a Doctor and keep the illness to yourself and family. Keeping it under the wraps is not going help you. You have no reason to hide anything- you are not a criminal, you are not responsible for the illness.
Hang on. You have possibly braved a similar crisis in your life before. This too, will pass by.

Because the definition of insanity is doing
the same thing over and expecting different results. Math Fluency Counting by 10s If students have not learned the multiplication tables by high school, they need to learn them a different way. Multiplication Tables HALVES PRACTICE
(0s and 5s) (30 is halfway between 20 and 40, so half of 30 must be halfway between half of 20 and half of 40) Halves Practice (All) Why? Many of our students struggle not because they haven't tried to learn, but because TWO KINDS of math mistakes. There are 1.) FUNCTIONAL MISTAKE (add/subtract/multiply/divide wrong, forget a negative, etc) 2.) PROCESS MISTAKE (don't understand how to do the problem, what step comes next, etc) Decimals to Fractions Practice the way they've been taught
hasn't worked for them. Lack of math
fluency is a FUNCTIONAL MISTAKE Students get used to breaking down numbers and thinking of them as pieces Prepares students for multiplication tables Helps them grasp the concept of parts of a whole (necessary for fractions) Eventually when students have become fluid with tens, they will transition the ideas to 100s/1000s automatically Start with walking them through the times tables using the "+10 +/-x" method Assign 10 at a time until student can complete a times table at a reasonable speed without stopping or errors Supplement with FreeRice.com (1000 grains of rice--students turn in a screenshot for homework) This worksheet will help students understand: Takes some of the intimidation factor out of math when they realize that half of 50, half of 5, and half of
0.5 are the same numbers, just with the decimal in a
different place Patterns Decimal Places This worksheet will help students: think of numbers in pieces (distributive property!) simplify fractions If a student can think of 36 as 20 + 16, eventually this will extend to multiplication and the distributive property
(22 x 15 is the same as 20 x 15 and 2 x 15) Speed Builds Confidence Students know they shouldn't be struggling with basic arithmetic. When they struggle to solve basic arithmetic problems and make functional mistakes, they convince themselves that they "don't get math," when in fact, they can absolutely understand the processes behind the problems. Fluency Builds Critical Thinking Fluency Builds Speed How many times have you had a student who couldn't tell you what 75% is as a fraction, but they know how many quarters are in 75 cents? Struggling students often lack the ability to make connections between discrete pieces of information. Fluency helps them build those connections and apply them to other areas. This worksheet will help students: Identify patterns in fraction/decimal conversion Memorize and recognize the most common fraction/decimal conversion combinations (like 0.25 = 1/4) Fractions/Decimals/Percents Conversion Practice This worksheet will help students: Reinforce essential relationships between fractions, decimals, and percents Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or would like the handouts mentioned in this presentation. :-)

I've decided that I need more practical cards ... I have too many "friendship-py" cards and not enough birthday and thank you cards. Next, I should decide to SEND out these cards rather than just post them on my blogs. But hey ... what would y'all have to look at if I did that???
Sentiment by A Muse, Bird Border stamp by Magenta, Paisley background by Stampin' Up!
Let's see ... this card follows the Sarah "more is more, don't stop now" Bertolino mantra of card making. I stamped the paisley bg in versamark and clear embossed it. The sentiment is traced over lightly with a li'l bit o' color (via blender pen) ... hope you can tell. Then I pressed it face down into some versamark and embossed with IIEP. Spark-a-licious! I accented the birds wings and tails and the brown (Amer. Crafts) brad in the center of the primas with the ubiquitous stardust stickles. (I really need blogger to add the word "stickles" to their spell checker ... so annoying that it gets flagged every time.) The whisper white and chocolate chip paper is by SU! The patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye/Bohemia (Barefoot "Play") -- this pattern appeals to my inner boho hippie side ... reminds me of some dress my mom had when I was growing up. I used the front side (the paisley pattern) for the bottom half and the back side of the same piece (the green) for the top half.
Stay tuned ... the FIFTH A*Muse*A*Palooza Challenge should be up tomorrow. I love these challenges. I wonder if the next one will be something like a single-layer card. That's a very A Muse style ... and definitely NOT mine BUT it wouldn't be called a challenge then would it now?
Heidi asked recently in the comments of one of my cards what marker I use to do shadows. I have been using a Prismacolor 30% Cool Gray Marker I got at Hobby Lobby. I didn't do it on this bird card here but I did on this one (the oval was done with SU!'s going gray) and this one. In the past I've just used my blender pen and going gray or sahara sand ink. Hope this helps.

I was just about to ask you how many of the cards you make actually end up being given. I'm trying to declutter and I've decided that if I keep a digital image of the card, that's better than keeping totes of cards that should be appreciated by someone else! So, for curiousity's sake, how many of your cards do you actually give out (percentage wise)?

My dad has carried one in his pocket for the last few years and he swears by it. I take prescribed medications for rheumatoid arthritis and gout. I tried the buckeye thing for a while but it doesn't seem to work as well for me. Too bad as the weather is starting to change and I could use some relief on those cool, damp mornings. I've heard of bee stings being used to help arthritis sufferers as well although that may be kinda like keeping the buckeye in your shoe.

Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii is taking heat from Democrats for her strong criticism of President Barack Obama's handling of the Islamic State threat. Although she is a Vice-Chair of the Democrat National Committee, she may face a primary fight to keep her seat in 2016.
"While Gabbard is correct in her 'emperor has no clothes' moment, she may have lost her future seat on Hawaii's political bench," Hawaii political analyst Michael Perry said. "The knives are coming out."
Gabbard, who served two deployments in Iraq, criticized Obama's refusal to use the term "Islamic extremism" when discussing terror attacks by the Islamic State.
"This is not just about words," Gabbard said. "It's not about semantics. It's really about having a real, true understanding of who our enemy is and how important that is, that we have to understand what their motivation is and what their ideology is — the radical Islamic ideology that is fueling them."
Hawaiian political news site Civil Beat, owned by Obama bundler and eBay billionaire Pierre Omiydar, slammed Gabbard for not "presenting serious policy arguments." The influential journal dismissed her critique as "as pandering from a young pol with lofty ambitions."
It should be noted that more than ten years ago, Gabbard resigned her seat in the Hawaii state legislature so she could deploy with her unit to Iraq. A politician giving up office to serve in a war zone is extraordinarily rare and suggests someone operating beyond simple political ambition.
Of course, for the left, even her service is open to criticism if it can undercut her rebuke of Obama. Bob Jones, political columnist for Hawaii's MidWeek newspaper, huffed that: "I take serious issue when somebody who's done a little non-fighting time in Iraq, and is not a Middle East or Islamic scholar, claims to know better than our President and Secretary of State how to fathom the motivations of terrorists, or how to refer to them beyond the term that best describes them — terrorists."
Ponder that statement, "non-fighting time."
Consider too that the "Secretary of State" in question, subject of Jones' typical leftist appeal to authority, is the same official who thought it wise to deploy the aging James Taylor to serenade the French after the American leadership snubbed that nation's rally in support of the victims of a vicious terror attack.
This is not a person to whom one should automatically defer on navigating the shoals of international diplomacy.
The controversy over Gabbard's criticism of Obama will likely fade. The news cycle usually moves on even before the ink is dry on the most recent dust-up. The attacks on her, someone who in every other way is a multi-cultural poster child of the modern Democrat party, are nevertheless instructive.
If you criticize Obama, there will be blood, no matter the semantics.

Walking across my beautiful campus in West Hartford, Conn., after a week of summer-like weather, I was not focused on the blooming jonquils or budding weeping willows, but instead on the greeting I planned to deliver to 150 prospective students -- young women from diverse ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds who are soon to enroll as first-year (some the first-in-their-family) college students. I mentally reviewed the fact that there has been considerable recent debate and political discourse related to higher education. These discussions have ranged from concerns about escalating tuition, critiques of the curriculum, and attacks on accreditation, to questions about whether young people should even aspire to attain college degrees.
I intentionally cleared these discussions from my head and instead reflected on what parents and prospective students might really want to hear. I needed to present what was exciting, rewarding, and transformative about coming to Saint Joseph College (soon to be University of Saint Joseph). Looking out at the audience of teens, parents, siblings, and a few grandparents, I realized that the national debate has missed what is really important. Certainly we are all dismayed by rising costs of tuition and unreasonable student debt, but simplistic notions and imperfect understanding of the factors involved will not curtail these problems any more than simple declarations will return us to the days of $0.89/gallon gasoline. What I believe parents and students seek is an understanding of the value of education. Why should they spend their money and their time engaging in this activity?
We must recognize that education is an investment in our future. When we buy a car, we know that it begins to lose value the moment it is driven off the lot, but we need it for transportation and so we judge it by other criteria. We buy other material things that can be lost or stolen, but we make a decision to purchase them based on multiple factors. Should we judge our education by these same standards? I believe that, as one of my mentors once advised me, "an education is always yours and can never be taken away." Further, he went on to suggest that a degree might be compared to a stock certificate: as the institution that issued it gains prestige, the degree grows in value and this value can be built upon for the rest of our life. If this is not enough, I have to note that an education for a woman brings even more benefits. Developmental psychology research suggests that educating a woman enhances the health, prosperity and well-being of her whole family. We at Saint Joseph College feel that our emphasis on service to others brings that enhancement to the entire community.
So my words of greeting and the remarks of the others who welcomed our prospective students and their families to our campus included stories about how our students were transformed by the opportunity to learn, think, and engage the world in new and exciting ways. We shared inspiring anecdotes about how education helped our students grow into community leaders and successful professionals. And our current students demonstrated that their education enabled them to interact with poise and confidence. Our visitors were invited to join a community dedicated to their success and their growth as women, where we will educate them to become ethical citizens of a global community. It is difficult to calculate the price of such opportunity.

Reid has always been a little unhinged, but now that he's retiring, he's freed to go totally off the wall.
A Repub operative?
So, what do we call Loretta Lynch then?
Sore losers, whiners who fail to see what happened right under their noses.
The majority of states are Repub governed, and the three branches of federal government are all Repub majorities. The Supreme court will once again be the beacon that reflects the light of our Constitution, not political ideas.
Go big Dems, take the high road, act like adults instead of foot stomping two-year olds.
America is watching.
Bitter, old man…. go home and fish, or what ever you do in your deep dark corner of despair
ps. Watch this closely. When you see Chris Hayes physically recoil at Reid's remarks, you know he has gone off the deep end.
Powerless little man. All that will be left for him are punching bags in what is an apparently very dangerous home gym. He is a ghoul. And for me he represents the Democrat Party .
I have little sympathy for Comey who, in trying to save himself rather than fulfill his oath, brought this upon himself. After Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch placed him in a very difficult place, of course. I wonder if they are Republican operatives?
Strange how they blame Comey, but they never blame Clinton. No one told her to circumvent official recordkeeping by holding her correspondence out of the official network.
She is the sole author of this disaster.
The sooner the Dems recognize this and stop trying to reposition the truth, the better chance they have. The blind loyalty to each other once in a while becomes a poison to the party and this is one of those times.
Hillary Clinton's little pink toes might be outside the swamp technically, but she has a dirty record and pretending otherwise brought down the Democrat Party.
well said
With Reid's comments we have an dramatic illustration of the vile thought process of the "losers" in this election. We see with brilliant clarity (as if we didn't already know) their apocalyptic, destructive view of governance, their complete lack of character, their dishonesty, their greed, their unquenchable greed and lust for power and influence, their political corruption. All at our expense.
Trump's victory took the camouflage off these critters nesting in the corrupt dynasties of the political world, the corporate media, the "pollsters", the lobbyists, the naysayers, the self serving backroom gangsters who have infected the proper governance of our country with their foul deeds for many years.
The light of liberty, dimmed all through the Obama years, is getting brighter every day.
Well said.
I've read many times that liberalism is a disease, old Harry proves it.
Everyone is to blame for Hillary's loss, except Hillary.
As the old saying goes, "success has many fathers, failure is an orphan".
I wonder if Trump got July Andrews and the Vonn Trapp Family Singers to sing So Long Farewell….to The Obamas,Clinton and Harry Reid?
I did hear Harry Reid s going to be on Wheel of Fortune……..he wants to buy an "I".
Off his nut entirely
Completely. Always has been. Sen. Looney Tunes.

Israeli Ambassador to UN Elected VP of General Assembly

Be safe Billy and keep those magic tricks going. Billy is a magician and does things like make pictures appear on stuff that you hold safely in your hand. "Poof! et voila!" He says it's all logic. I say, "Billy, you are magic! We will miss you."

The Woman Who Married a Cloud
- The Collected Short Stories of Jonathan Carroll
- Narrated by: Robin Bloodworth, Suehyla El Attar
- Length: 19 hrs and 17 mins
- Unabridged Audiobook
- Release date: 09-04-13
- Language: English
- Publisher: Audible Studios
For more than 30 years, Jonathan Carroll's writing has defied genre conventions. Known for his novels—including The Land of Laughs, Bones of the Moon, Sleeping in Flame, and many other compelling and often surreal stories—Carroll has also created an eloquent body of short fiction. The Woman Who Married a Cloud brings his stories together for the first time. In the title story, a matchmaking effort goes awry and leads one woman to a harrowing moment of self-discovery. In "The Heidelberg Cylinder", Hell becomes so overcrowded that Satan sends some of his lost souls back to Earth. And in "Alone Alarm", a man is kidnapped by multiple versions of himself.
By turns haunting, melancholic, and enchanting, Carroll's richly layered stories illuminate universal experiences, passions, and griefs. Described by NPR's Alan Cheuse as "so richly imaginative, so intellectually daring," The Woman Who Married a Cloud is essential for Carroll fans and short-story lovers alike.

Wonderful stories, exceptionally read.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, because the narration is so good that it would be a great introduction to the audiobook experience, plus the stories are great.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Woman Who Married a Cloud?
The tangerine moment.
What does Robin Bloodworth and Suehyla El Attar bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you had only read the book?
Bloodworth is simply brilliant. Every nuance is perfectly captured and it all sounds so natural. Amazing performance.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. I buy short stories so that I can dip in and out whenever the fancy takes me.
Any additional comments?
This is a first class selection of fairly off-beat stories with a great deal of originality. I can't recall having come across anything similar but it certainly makes me want to read more by this author.

Very enjoyable collection
A mix of of short stories from novella-length to vignettes. A bit over half of them are of a magic-realist type that are, in style, tone, and quality, exactly like a collection of good Twilight-Zone episodes. Most are melancholy or with a touch of horror, but I didn't find them depressing, more like a campfire-shiver; there's a good dose of humour as well. Interspersed with the fantasy stories are some straight stories in the same mood. Read with energy by alternating male and female readers, both of whom are excellent. One of the most enjoyable long books I've had from Audible in a while.

Great Stories, Mixed Narration
This fantastic collection of short stories has two narrators, a male (Robin Bloodsworth) for stories written from the perspective of male characters, and Suehyla El Attar for female. Mr. Bloodsworth's performance is spot-on, and a joy to listen to. However, I found Ms. El Attar's voice irritating in the extreme: overly breathy and excited like someone trying to sell you something on late-night TV, and employing several grating vocal tics including extensive use of "creaky voice" (rattling your vocal chords, especially at the end of sentences) and the "California Vowel Shift", substituting one vowel sound for another instead of using standard pronunciation ("Bast Aver" = "Best Ever", "Rast" instead of "Rest", etc). It's probably my age and that I am particularly sensitive to slight variations in sounds in general, but women who speak this way all sound like teenage girls to me and I'd prefer more standard elocution.

Prepare to become an anti-social traveler
Where does The Woman Who Married a Cloud rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
One of the better short story collections - and certainly one of the best collected works of any author - on audible. I listened in the car, on the walk into town, to the grocery store, between classes, while washing dishes... you get it. These stories reminded me of what I love about the genre of magic realism, speculative fiction and contemporary fantasy: not only are Jonathan Carroll's metaphors and language gorgeous on their own, but when they separate from the "real world," you forget that it could be any other way because what is being narrated is so full of truth and beauty and momentum. The narrators also do a wonderful job, capturing pace and inflection of the characters in each story. I'm genuinely sad that it's over. Oh wait, I can listen again...

MEDIA COURTHOUSE >> Delaware County Common Pleas Court Judge Anthony Scanlon has set an April 23 trial date for former Radnor Board of Commissioners president Philip Ahr on 130 child pornography and related charges.
Ahr, 67, of the 100 block of Meredith Avenue in Rosemont, waived arraignment on the charges last month.
Ahr was arrested Oct. 11 following an investigation by the Delaware County District Attorney's office into charges that he had downloaded and distributed child pornography, including images of toddlers.
The investigation began after Yahoo identified 25 suspected images of child pornography being traded through the Yahoo Messenger account "email@example.com."
The IP address for an associated email was traced back to Ahr's home in Radnor, where county detectives executed a search warrant Sept. 21. Former District Attorney Jack Whelan said at the time of Ahr's arrest that a forensic examination of electronics seized under that warrant revealed more than 500 files of suspected child pornography.
Ahr, represented by defense counsel Mark Much, was also having sexual discussions about children through Yahoo Messenger with an unknown person, received about a dozen images of girls he estimated to be about 13 years old through Messenger and searched for images on the Internet using terms like "daddy daughter," "young" and "teen," according to an affidavit of probable cause.
A Democrat who formerly represented the township's Seventh Ward, Ahr stepped down as president in October and formally resigned from his position on the board in November. He had been a commissioner since January 2016.
Ahr remains free on 10 percent of $100,000 bail. Assistant District Attorney Ryan Grace is prosecuting.

Yesterday I purchased a new Sigsauer P320 Pistol. It is one of the contenders to be the next military sidearm the XM17. While I have no way of knowing which weapon will be chosen, the P320 may be the ideal candidate. It is truly a modular handgun, as the frame can be swapped out based on the shooters hand size, more importantly the caliber and size (fullsize, compact, or subcompact) can be changed easily as the only serial number item is the firing mechanism. Have not had a chance to shoot it but will do so this weekend. I have already field stripped the weapon and it is easy. It is a striker fired weapon; and the commercial version does not come with a safety; however Sigsauer had an optional manual safety that can be added. I suspect that the military will require a safety–as it must protect itself from the inevitable ability of Joe to screw up.
More to follow. . .

New figures from APACS show that while chip and pin has been successful in reducing offline fraud, online incidents have increased.Total card fraud losses have fallen from £439 million in 2005 to £428 million last year, but online banking fraud has increased from £23.2 million to £33.5 million in the same period.
Scammers foiled by chip and pin have moved into card-holder-not-present fraud online or via phone, or have continued cloning old-style magnetic strip cards for use in non-chip and pin countries outside Europe, according to the UK payments association.
"Fighting fraud is never going to succeed with a single-layered approach," Sandra Quinn, director of communications at APACS. "It requires different sectors - including public and private - to work together on developing and implementing strategies, sharing best practice and, most importantly, sharing data."
Industry experts have greeted the results as a step in the right direction. Stephen Cox, Principal security consultant at CA (pictured) said: "These results show the investment in chip and pin is working. I believe the key to increased security online is two-way authentication, where both the business and the consumer have to identify themselves."
However, it seems that some institutions need to go back to basics first. Eleven of the top names in banking, including HBOS, Alliance & Leicester, Nationwide, NatWest and Barclays, as well as the Post Office, were slammed by the Information Commissioner's Office last month for throwing customer's personal information into bins outside their branches. According to reports, the ICO has required them to sign a formal undertaking to comply with the principles of the Data Protection Act.

VBScript is a light, useful programming language (script) in Windows OS.
We can write a VBS with notepad or any text editor.
Hard code the file with absolute path is not a good idea to reuse a script for normal user.
They always don't know how to modify the script.
We always select a file with File Dialog.
File Dialog is a user-friendly GUI for user to select a specific file.
However, I discover that (I think many people discover that) Windows VISTA and Windows 7 do not have UserAccounts.CommonDialog in default system settings.
And I search it on the internal, but I still can't find the answers.
Finally, I re-design the VBS into HTML format.
Normally, you must install Internet Explorer in your Windows System.
You can embed VBScript in script tag. (<script type="text/vbscript"></script>)
Use <input type="file"/> to act a CommonDialog
Use <input type="button"/> to act a invoker (optional)
So, how could connect VBScript and XML.
Very simple, take a look at this.
You refer the code below.
<script type="text/vbscript"> Sub Invoke Set InputFile = document.getElementsByTagName("input")(0) Msgbox InputFile.Value End Sub </script> <input type="file"/> <input type="button" value="invoker" onclick="Invoke"/>
Now, we can easy to create a File Dialog in any Windows OSs.
Try it yourself.

Honeymoon Suites
At Riverside Tower Hotel Pigeon Forge
Hotels in Pigeon Forge that have EVERYTHING are hard to come by – however, Riverside Tower just happens to be one of those luxury hotels that not only has what you are looking for amenity-wise, but is also in the center of EVERYTHING you want to do! We chose "Your Home in the Heart of the Smokies" as our slogan for a reason – We are in the heart of Pigeon Forge's famous Parkway and being in the center of town means all of our Pigeon Forge Suites, such as our King Jacuzzi with Fireplace and Kitchenette, have incredible views of the city, the Little Pigeon River, or the Great Smoky Mountains!
There is no denying it – Pigeon Forge is a city of magic no matter which direction your suite may face or what you are here to experience! Step out on your semi-private balcony and let your gaze fall where it may. Perhaps your view will be the Old Mill's 100+ year old water wheel – still churning away in the Little Pigeon River waterway. There is something magical, as well as soothing; about water that takes the cares of the world away. Or your gaze might light upon the majesty of the Great Smoky Mountains – adventure definitely awaits you there – just imagine hiking the trails, catching sight of elusive wildlife, or discovering a delicate bloom! Perhaps it the hustle and bustle of the city life that will enthrall you; watching people stroll by, the spectacle of a Pigeon Forge car show parading by, or the thousands upon thousands of twinkling Winterfest lights sparkling several months out of the year; sparking your imagination!
Do you realize Riverside Towers is within 2-3 miles of just about anything you'd want to do! You name it – Pigeon Forge restaurants, outlet shopping, Patriot Park, Dollywood, Splash Country, great attractions, music and dinner theaters – just everything! And if you don't want to walk there – hop on a trolley!
And of course everyone wants a Pigeon Forge hotel Jacuzzi when they come to town and Riverside Tower does not disappoint there either! After a fun and busy day, recharge your battery with your honey in your private, soothing, bubbly Jacuzzi, whip up a tasty snack in the kitchenette, maybe start things sizzling in front of the fireplace, then drift off to fabulous dreams of tomorrow in your clean and comfortable king size bed, with its extra pillows, and get ready for another exciting day tomorrow in Pigeon Forge!
"Good job!"
Hotel price was very reasonable. Room was very clean! Coffee was provided to us for our room. King size bed comfy with extra pillows provided. We were very happy with what we got for the price. We would stay again.
"Hidden Treasure"
We stayed here last week (Aug. 20-22) and LOVED IT. SO GLAD WE DID! It was very clean, smelled good, and bed was very comfortable. Loved the kitchenette and Jacuzzi, good large fluffy towels and the staff was so friendly. WE DEFINITELY WILL BE STAYING HERE AGAIN. Room #403

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Scores of gunmen took over the headquarters of a federal police battalion in northern Iraq early on Friday before driving a tanker laden with explosives into the building, killing many, a government official said.
The commander of the battalion and his assistant were among the dead, but the total number of casualties was still impossible to ascertain because victims remained trapped beneath the building in the village of Injana, the official said.
The mayor of the nearby town of Sulaiman Pek, 160 km (100 miles) north of Baghdad, said security forces were still fighting the gunmen, who also seized control of another town in the area called Serha.
Militants earlier this year occupied Sulaiman Pek and raised the black flag of the Sunni Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) over it.
ISIL, which is also active in neighboring Syria, has been regaining momentum in Iraq over the past year and is one of a number of insurgent and tribal groups that stormed two cities in the western province of Anbar since January.
Shi'ite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has declared war on Sunni militants, appealing for arms and international support to help quell an insurgency he paints as an extension of the civil war in Syria.
Maliki's critics say his own policies have marginalized the country's once-dominant Sunni minority and created the conditions for militants to thrive.

A few months ago I posted about a lovable human cartoon character named El Guincho. The update is that he just released this video and it makes my heart hurt. Seriously I think I just caught heart cancer. It makes me want to listed to Corey Hart, eat some artichoke hearts and drink some Hart beer at the University of Toronto's Hart house then drive my heartley davidson downtown and inject some heartoin into my heart.
I've only felt this way twice before. The first when I was 8 and I would kiss my Yaromir Yagr (pictured above) poster before bed and then have "sexy" dreams about him gnashing at my face and then us jumping on the bed. The second was when my ironic crush on Brian from the backstreet boys turned on me and I had to keep my heartbreak a secret shame.
Video in case you forgot to click before!!!! NSFW if your boss hates all that is good and magical in the world.
