Tutorial on SCS - Double Pocket Card
Today's tutorial on SCS is for a Double Pocket Card.
My card base is a a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Sahara Sand cardstock folded in half. It is layered with a 3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″ piece of Chocolate Chip. The Double Pocket card piece is created out of Whisper White cardstock. All designer paper is from Thoroughly Modern Designer Paper Pack.
The Ruffled backing of my circle layers is created with the Eyelet Shapeabilities Pendant. The circle layers were cut with Nestabilities. Both butterflies were cut with Big Diez Beautiful Butterflies Die. The bigger butterfly was first pained with Shimmery Paint and sponge dauber, then the edges were sponged with Chocolate Chip. The pearls are from the Pretties Kit.
The sentiment is stamped twice, once in Basic Brown and once in Bermuda Bay. The You from the Basic Brown layer was colored with Rose Red ink. I cut slightly inside the oval lines and taped this piece on my Bermuda Bay oval, that had been cut out with the large oval punch. That was layered on a scallop oval that had been punched out of Chocolate Chip Cardstock. The gorgeous ribbon is from May Arts.
The inside of the card is pretty simple and mirrors the layers on the card front.
Here is a video for the visual learner:
Here are two Double Pocket cards I made a while ago:
I am sure most of you have heard about the new demonstrator agreement form we Stampin' Up! demonstrator will have to sign at the end of this month. I am afraid I might not be able to stay a demonstrator with the new agreement. I sent an email to Stampin' Up!'s compliance office, but haven't heard back yet. I feel bad, since I love Stampin' Up! products, but I won't give up my work at Splitcoaststampers so I can stay a demonstrator. I will let you know what happens. My blog might be changing to a more Non-Stampin' Up! blog soon.
Hugs and sad smile 🙁

You are such an inspiration! You were one of the people I thought about when I heard about the new IDA and wondered what you would do. I for one would be very sad to see you step down as a demo, but I totally understand why you would. I think it's disgusting that SU have put talented people like you in this position. Hugs!
Thank you so much for the wonderful video. Your work is always beautiful. Having the video makes it easy to understand how you create your cards.
I really appreciate the work that goes into the video and your creations!
I love this card and thanks for the great tutorial – and all the other wonderful tutorials you have provided. You are truly one of the best of the best out there and your willingness to share your knowledge and skill with the rest of us us so commendable. I too am in the same boat with SU and this unfortunate new policy of theirs. I think it is so important for us to be able to share with each other and give each other a good ole "atta boy" from time to time no matter who we work for! Thanks again for all you do! ~chris
OMGosh Beate, this is so cute, can not wait to make one. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I love it. You are toooo talented for your own good so send some of it my way.
(((((((((cyber hugs))))))))))))
I am so sorry you have to leave SU but you must do what is best for you under those conditions. I will be watching you at SCS
ps..I LOVE THIS CARD !
thanks for the video. It helps me with the visual thing.
Hey Beate!
Nikki from Germantown, Ohio! I just LOVE thes card. The colors are so amazing together and I just love the ribbons and pearls! So gorgeous! I would love to see your website without SU. I am thoroughly disgusted with the new rule and have decided to leave SU too. Though I'm not a big seller in their minds so it probably won't matter. Anyways, I just wanted you to know that SU or not I will still adore your blog:) I think you are a wonderful educator and that SU should realize that they get MORE exposure from you having the freedom to speak about the things you love and use then restricting that ability. I hope you are getting used to Ohio. I'm sure it's not as grand as Fla. It's been unseasonable cold…brr. Fall is beautiful though. Make sure you take your kids to Tipp City/Troy for a wagon ride and to visit Fulton Farms. They have great produce! Also, check out the Metro parks for taking some of your walks. I love to go on the trails here at Gtown's metropark. Have a great, sunshiny day! Nikki
Beate, either way, I love your work, admire your talent and greatful that you're willing to share and teach us. So, I'm going to stalk… urh I mean follow you wherever you end up. Thanks again for being a great teacher.
Your Double Pocket card is so gorgeous and perfectly detailed, Beate!! I love your big butterfly with the Eyelet Pendant frame as well!! Thanks for the fantastic video!
I'm so sorry about what has happened with SU! I hope you hear something soon. Sending big hugs!!
Beate, I'm with you. I too will not be signing the agreement. Although I don't do a great volume with SU I decided to not continue. I'm so glad your back to posting on your blog. I really missed your posts and weekedn challenges. Hope to play along more frequently.
Hi Beate, I LOVE you blog. You are in my google reader and I check out your blog all the time!!!
I just emailed you regarding the SU new policy too. I am seriously thinking of quitting. I am NOT a big seller, but I had NO intentions of going into it BIG time, and certainly have no intentions of re-vamping my PERSONAL blog to suit their qualifications.I have a full-time job and SU was just a fun hobby on the side that helped me in my scrapping addiction. I am so sad about this, they are making things really hard for some sellers.
Beate, what a gorgeous card (as usual LOL!!!). You have always been and will continue to be such a huge inspiration and source of learning for me, no matter what products you use or don't use. I think it is a shame that SU is becoming so restrictive…that really will have a HUGE impact at SCS. It seems to be indicative of when a company gets so large that their corporate attorneys start recommending policy to protect the company rather than seeing the bigger picture of the very grass roots world in which their customers operate. I love SU products, but this type of mindset is one reason I never will sign up to be a demonstrator.
Best of luck to you as you work through this change! I'll still be here following your blog!
Such a beautiful card, I can't wait to give it a try a bit later. I have been contemplating giving up my SU demo status; but was a bit undecided until I read the new policy yesterday. Well, that sealed the deal. I enjoy my blog too much to have to change it to an all SU blog. I enjoy being able to share my creativity with everyone else even if it means pointing them down a road that leads elsewhere besides SU. I couldn't imagine not being able to talk about Splitcoast, or Two Peas or American Crafts, or Bazzil or many of my other favorite manufacturers. Oh well, Que Cera Cera I suppose!
I hope you don't leave SU. I remember the days when SplitCoast was pretty much just Stampin' Up and found it to be a valuable resource! Now it seems it is more and more other companies. I really miss the way it used to be, myself. Whatever you decide, I wish you well.
Absolutely beautiful work, Beate! TFS!
What a fun card! I'm definitely going to add this to my book of tricks. 🙂 I'll be leaving SU too. I was on the fence, but now I know. Although many fabulously talented demos will remain, they'll be losing some fabulously talented demos (LIKE YOU!!!) as well.
[…] for DIY surprise balls which I made last year.) swissmiss | The Miniature Moustache Stick . Tutorial on SCS – Double Pocket Card – beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com 09/02/2009 Today's tutorial on SCS is for a Double Pocket […]
Beate – once again a wonderful tutorial. And I dearly love your style. I try, mostly in vein, to replicate your wonderful cards.
I am mostly a hobby demo and was just beginning to think about starting a blog. I can't believe (although I have read the new agreement) that SU – with their size and reputation – is becoming so mean-spirited and closed minded about this. I too, am thinking very seriously about what to do!
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful knowledge over the years. Whether it's SU or not, I will continue to try to emulate your style!
Beate, I'm sorry that you are put in this position. And I'm sure I speak for 99% of your fans when I say that we'll follow you anywhere, SU or not. (((HUGS)))
This is gorgeous!!!
I am sad for what is happening. I truly wish you the best in whatever happens with your life. I definitely appreciate the inspiration you are to all of us!!!
As always, your card is lovely! I am so sorry that you are in the SU bind. I have to chose as well and will likely give up my demonstrator status. I understand why, but still don't like having to make the choice. I hope your decision making goes smoothly for you!
Beate, I'm sorry that you're in this position where you might have to choose. I don't envy you that. I would suggest you call DS and get transfered to compliance since your situation is very similar to DT members. They've asked those on DT's to call them so that they can speak with them on a case-by-case basis. Maybe you'll get an answer sooner that way, and it will hopefully be a correct one. I know that sometimes, because DS folks are only human, you can get several different answers. Best wishes to you!!!
Your card, as usual, is STUNNING!!! I love it!! Hugs!!
Beate, Love your project as always. I'm not always leaving comment but I always visit. I will still visit SU or not… I will have to resign as a SU demo too since I am not going to stop using other stuff and giving them credit even if I like SU stuff too. Here is a HUG. I hope they will review there positions about personal blog and stuff.
Beate, it is unfortunate that you are put in this postition. I'm new to SU products, but not your blog. It seems very mean-spirited of them to do this to the many talented people who are so helpful to us out here who are less so. I certainly will not be buying from them in the future. JC
It seems as thought SU is shooting themselves in the foot again. My friends have been after me for a long time to become a demonstrator. Now I will for sure not consider it.
I knew there was a reason why I didn't become a SU demonstrator. I really believe they are hurting themselves in this decision and will be losing some of the best of the best. I like SU, but they are not the only game in town. I love your work and reading your blog each day. It's too bad you had to make such an awful decision.
I haven't had the chance to watch he video (I only have a few minutes). But I actually came here tonight to see what you were going to do. I have already decided that I choose freedom over being put in a box. I am personally offended that SU thinks that they can control my creativity! I love your blog and come here often…most of the time to see how you use SU products. But you have every right to use whatever tools you think will work for your creations. And your work at SCS is just too valuable to all of us…so I am so glad that you are choosing that instead! I am so sad today…I feel like I lost a friend…a friend who chose to hurt me instead of lift me up! I will always visit your blog no matter WHAT products you use!!!
BIG, BIG , BIG Hug!!
Oh, let me clarify…(I just re-read my post)…that "friend" I mentioned is SU, not you…in case that came out wrong!! SU stabbed me in the back and I support your decision.
Oh Beate your card is just stunning! I LOVE your tutorial and it was fun hearing you, too!!
I love your viedos. I am also sorry to hear about the new agreement with SU. I know it is going to impact so many people. SU complements so many other products. As a hobbiest I use many products. Please keep up the wonderful viedos.
This is a beautiful card Beate!
I hope you can stay a demonstrator! You would be sorely missed!
Dear Beate,
your butterfly card is just divine.
I always come to your blog to see your beautiful creations even if I rarely add a comment in.
I just wanted to share how sad I am that you have to make such a difficult decision. You are the first person I thought of when I heard of the new policies. It seems to me that the new IDA negates the Statement of the Heart and I hope that SU will rethink their harsh new policies.
I adore your creativity and the inspiration you give to me and so many others is priceless.
Love your beautiful card! I just listened to the updated info on the new demo agreement and the modification that it's ok to link to general crafting forums such as Splitcoast — just not ok to actively market a competing product. But you can mention them — just not link to their store to buy them. I hope that's a clarification that lets you stay as your work is so beautiful and you always find a way to make me want stamp sets and paper that I did not think I wanted until you made me need it! Keep up the great work here and on Splitcoast and I hope you stay with SU.
I check your blog daily. I love your projects and attention to detail. I love it with our without SU supplies. I hope you will continue to share your talent and creativity. I am amazed that in the difficult economic times that SU feels the need to push so many demonstrators to make such a hard decision. I love seeing our products in your creations but will still visit as usual to see your wonderful work. I am pretty much a one club demo. I love to share and teach. This agreement has put a halt to any ideas of pursing a web site and trying to grow my business. I can't afford the DBWS and was looking to create a blog, but I would have to be to careful in what I put on there.
What a wonderful pocket card. I read all the posts on SCS with interest. No doubt the same thing will be coming to Australia too. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
I understand you love to help the people who are happy and learns alot from you. I learn alot from you You are great talent and sharing with everyone. You are happy with Splitcoastmasters.You are count on SU for their creative idea. I pray for you and postive.Thanks alot. take care Hugs
First I want to say your card is gorgeous as always. I too am a SU
demo and I think their policy stinks.
I don't think they should dictate
what you put out on your personal blog.
I feel they will lost a lot demos
because of that. I will read your blog
always, as you are such a wonderful
inspriation and teacher. Hugs, Barb
You are certainly a talented stamper and glad your blog will continue. I always longed to be a blogger but there were so many to read and so little time already I never really jumped in. Now I am glad that I am not between the rock and hard place. I will follow your blog wherever it leads and wish you well in your future stamping endeavors.
I was VERY surprised that SU would cut their nose to spite their face! Most of the blogs I follow are SU Demos – SU is going to see sales drop big time! Unfortunate for them – I like the company too –
Your card is gorgeous as usual! TFS
This is such a beautiful double pocket card, and great tutorial, Beate! Love how you added the layered pendent…it just added sooo much!
This is really too funny, I did a a double pocket card this weekend and posted it on my blog today, only it is just a little different with the pockets on the inside. I love pocket cards, and will be giving this one a try soon!!
Thanks for everything you do, you are such an inspiration to many!! ((Hugs))
Whatever you decide, your ideas can be used cross 'company'. It will make us 'work' our imaginations a bit more. Thanks for all you do.
On my goodness, talk about drop dead gorgeous… your detailing is amazing. What fabulous inspiration!!
neat pocket design, pretty colors, love the little tag and the pretty flower!
Hi Beate, I love the card as usual but I especially loved listening to your voice in your tutorial.
i don't think su! home office thought this through. i want you to still be you, and if you have to leave su!, it will be their loss.
I really, really hope you don't have to give up your demoship! I enjoy seeing how your beautiful creative mind brings the SU! supplies to new fabulous heights! I would be really sad if SU's new rules forced you to leave and I hope for your sake that you won't have to make a choice.
Best of luck and keep us posted!
Beate, we hope that everything will work out for the best for you and your family. We appreciate all that you do in sharing your creativity with us. (((hugs)))
I love your work, I enjoy your tutorials. I am upset over what SU is doing to their consultants. My consultants does it as a hobby also and people like my self who live on limited income can not soend big dollars every month. But we try to keep her with enough orders so she can keep selling to us. SU will lose a lot of talented people who have shared with us through their blogs. That is the way I have learned and now enjoy the art of stamping and making cards………. Good Luck and I will try to follow you in the future.
This is a stunning creation Beate! I love all your elements and colours! I'm sorry the new agreement is having such an impact on you and I was wondering how this would effect you when I heard. ~hugs~ Kathy
Great tutorial and fantastic card!!!
I read your blog regularly through google reader, and am guilty of not taking the time to comment but wanted you to know how much I appreciate your work and the time you take to share, and inspire (not to mention making the videos which are wonderful!).
Please add me to the long list of people who thought of you when I heard about the new IDA and felt bad that you are being forced to choose between two passions. So glad you are choosing SCS!
I have never posted here but have enjoyed seeing your work for awhile now. The cards are stunning and your tutorials so helpful. It is amazing of you to share so much of yourself. With the SU clarifications I hope you can work it out to continue to be a demo (unless the other companies you work with insist you directly sell their products). If not, I hope you will continue to use SU in your creations to inspire us all with the possibilities using their product.
Beate thanks so much for ALL your wonderful tutorials…. you are renewing my sad spirit with you stunning creations..
I too wonder what I shall do.
connie paxman
Oh, Beate, love your work, I wonder how Su can dictate how you run your business, specially with crafts, as I am sure they don't carry everything in their catalogue to enforce the rule and surely they don't pay the ISP provider for you! only imho! Hugs always, G
Hallo Beate,
die Karte ist ja wieder sooo süß geworden. Auch die Farben passen wieder so gut zusammen. Und der Schmetterling ist auch zauberhaft.
Oh Beate, I love this pocket card the way you've designed it. It's excellent. Only thing is now I need the nestabilities and don't think I can do that yet. TFS all the visual videos for us.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

It's Time for the Super Sale and a New Fluency Game
Click the button above or {here} to check out my store. :)
I am running my sale Sunday and Monday, but TpT is only taking an additional 10% off with promo code SUPER on Sunday. They take their 10% off the reduced sale price of all items, therefore you get more like 28% off but that's still a great deal! :)
I had a couple sweet friends contact me about creating a school themed fry phrase game. One to have the kids play throughout the year, and I thought that was a GREAT idea. :) I finally thought of a fun theme and posted it last night.
The name of the game is Straight A's! The bonus cards are called Straight A's for this game, so kiddos can get extra turns or cards when they pull these cards. However, if a kiddo pull out an "Oh, no! The dog ate your homework!" card, they either lose cards or turns. My kiddos do love these games, so I hope they will be over the moon excited about it. I plan on put this one in my fluency tubs when Valentine's Day is over and then switching it out when St. Patrick's Day rolls around. :)
Like always, the Fry Phrases for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th 100 Fry Words are included. :) Just click on the preview pick or {here} to check it out on TpT.
I'm off to load up my cart! What can't you wait to buy today? :)

Besides, the Rolex GMT-Master II is such a popular watch that it replica watches sale should be no stranger to most people. But I will say that the case is solidly constructed and well polished, and the bracelet and clasp are also of the highest quality. Additionally, the Easylink extension, which allows the bracelet to be discreetly Patek Philippe replica sale extended by 5mm, is a lifesaver on warm days. Not everyone is hublot replica going to be a fan of the polished center-links, but I like it as it distinguishes the GMT-Master II from the Submariner and makes it look a little dressier. What I'm mostly going to talk about instead is that new blue and black bezel, and whether it is worth omega replica sale paying the price difference over the standard Ref. 116710LN. As it stands, the rolex replica sale GMT-Master II Ref. 116710BLNR currently commands a premium of around $600 over the Ref. 116710LN price. Now, the bi-color ceramic bezel is quite a technical feat and actually starts off as blue, with the black mixed in hublot replica sale later using a patented Rolex process.

Cross-build injection attacks: Keeping an eye on Web applications' open source components
Web application developers' growing dependence on open source components has opened the door for attackers to insert malicious code into applications even as they are being built. Michael Cobb explores the emerging attack method called cross-build injection and explains why application architects may need to change their ways.
We're all familiar with hackers probing Web applications to find construction or operation vulnerabilities. One popular method used to exploit such flaws is to inject code into the running application, a process common in SQL injections and cross-site scripting attacks. A more sophisticated injection creates a buffer overflow that forces a program to run an attacker's written code.
Taking advantage of the build process
Modern software applications are complex and comprised of many different components. To speed up their development, creators build most software from a combination of pre-written source code and third-party components. After all, why spend weeks reinventing a program feature when it can be quickly found and integrated into an application, especially now that many such components are open source and -- via the GNU General Public License -- can be obtained for free?
To further accelerate development, simplify project management and reduce application build time, modern compilers permit developers to include dependency information within a project's settings. Dependency information allows the application to be built in an automated fashion by retrieving pre-determined components from the appropriate repositories. Maven, for example, is a popular and widely used build system that handles dependency management and multi-project relationships. Maven and other similar tools, like Ant and Ivy, help developers handle huge amounts of code. Such management leads to the problem of cross-build injection.
For one, the attacker can compromise the server that hosts the components and replace them with malicious copies. Alternatively, malware creators can compromise the DNS server of the build machine, redirecting requests to a machine controlled by the attacker. Either method works because developers and their tools do not question the source or integrity of the code they are using. Most Internet users know not to open email attachments from unknown sources, yet software developers regularly download code and incorporate it into their applications without reviewing exactly what it does. The dangers of this practice are magnified when a build process is set up to automatically retrieve code from the Internet.
Raising the stakes
The integrity of applications built in this way depend on the security of the sites hosting open source components. Applications also rely on the network infrastructure used to locate them. The safest way to avoid cross-build injection attacks is to not use automated tools that incorporate dependency resolution. If such a practice is not feasible, then development teams must create their own internal repository, along with a strictly enforced policy to control how new code or components are added to it. These regulations should include a review to ensure that the code is safe and fit for purpose. To mitigate DNS compromises, the server hosting the repository should only be referred to by its IP address.
Should cross-build injection attacks become widespread, they would undermine the open source movement and the growing acceptance of open source software. When a program is compromised at the point of creation, there is no limit to the malicious actions that it can carry out. Looking ahead, I think we will see more use of digitally signed code and build tools that incorporate signature checking, both of which can ensure that code is coming from a known source and has not been tampered with in any way.

Its taken me a while to find a saison yeast I really like. I've never used the infamously difficult Dupont strain, but I have tried Wyeast French Saison (3711), Farmhouse Ale (3726), Ardennes (3522), as well as the Danstar Belle Saison and White Labs American Farmhouse Blend (WLP670), without settling on one that I thought I could use regularly. My experience so far with this Saison/Brett blend might have changed that.
I picked up the blend, along with a few other strains, from a brand new company called The Yeast Bay. I'd been anticipating their launch for a few months (ever since I saw the wild yeast blends they would be offering), and I have to say that based on my own experience so far, along with other home-brewer reviews, I'm very excited about the strains from this company. Their partnership with White Labs should mean that they avoid the supply issues that plague East Coast Yeast---as I write this, it looks like all of their yeast strains and bacteria blends are available. The strains they've selected all seem interesting, and the descriptions on the website are informative and helpful (I was very pleased to read that they'll soon be releasing mixed souring cultures, starting with a blend that will be "a little more on the bright/fruity/acid forward side with mild funk"---just my thing!) What's more, they seem to be very responsive to questions from their home-brewer customers. I didn't just get replies to the emails I sent them about their cell-counts---I've posted about the beers I brewed or had planned in a few public forums, only to have Nick Impellitteri himself respond unprompted with very helpful information about what to expect from the yeast.
What am I looking for in a saison strain? Well, I've already mentioned how much I like Yvan de Baets chapter in Farmhouse Ales, and his description of saisons at the close of that chapter is something I've taken to heart: low in alcohol, highly attenuated, and either sour or very bitter from the use of a massive amount of low-alpha hops. The description of the saccharomyces strain on the Yeast Bay website says that it "produces a delightful ester profile of grapefruit and orange zest and imparts a long, dry and earthy finish to the beer", which made me think it would be a nice complement to the slightly citrusy and floral aromas of certain European-style hops. I decided to try three hoppy saisons: for this first beer I went with a blend of Sterling and Crystal; the second one (which is carbonating at the moment) is more heavily hopped with Hallertauer and Sterling, while the last (still in secondary) used Nelson Sauvin throughout.
I'm pleased to say that, based on this first beer, my instincts were spot on. In fact, the yeast and hops blend together so well that its impossible to tell where the flavours are coming from: both should give citrusy notes underwritten by a floral earthiness, and that's exactly what you get in the beer. Even though I would describe it as hoppy, bitter, and dry, it doesn't smell or taste anything like an IPA or a pale ale. I don't know if it fits with what people expect from this kind of beer, but its taken me a step closer to the saison I want to brew.
As for my process, I stuck to the fermentation range described on the website: after cooling the wort to the mid-60s, I set my fermentation chamber at 68°F, gradually increasing it to 72°F over the next few days. The beer is still fairly young (6 weeks), especially considering the fact that it has two brett strains in it. After tasting as I transferred to secondary I decided there was no reason to wait before bottling: it was already fairly dry, and tasted great, so why leave it longer? I gave it a light dry-hop with more Sterling, then bottled it in a mix of regular and heavy bottles. The regular bottles will probably all be gone in a week or so (that's the trouble with doing 3 gallon batches!), but I've stashed the heavy bottles in my closet so that I can see how the flavour profile changes over the next few months as the brett strains munch through the last 3 or 4 gravity points.
I do need to make some quick comments on the recipe. This was my first time using spelt, and in hindsight it was a mistake to use it in a step mash without gelatinizing it first, especially alongside under-modified pilsner malt. I undershot my gravity by about 6 points, and I assume that is all from mishandling the spelt. Luckily the beer turned out well anyway, with an appropriate bitterness for my taste, but this is something to pay attention to in future.
19/5/14: Updated impressions on this strain here.
Appearance: Straw yellow, slight haze. Thick head dissipates to thin white cap that lingers till I finish glass.
Smell: Enticing aroma. Slightly sweet mix of citrus and floral notes. The description of the yeast on the website says orange zest and grapefruit, which seems right, but the grapefruit is light and subtle (i.e. doesn't smell anything like an IPA). Earthiness underneath, but the kind you get from hops rather than the damp earth of brett. I also get an almost yogurt-like smell (I want to describe it as tart and slightly creamy, even though its an aroma---I got something similar in my Bam Biere clone, but there it was more pronounced).
Taste: Again, slightly sweet pilsner malt giving way to bright floral and citrus notes. Maybe slightly more lemon here, or just brighter orange zest and grapefruit. The "long dry earthy finish" blends really well with the earthy, almost pithy bitterness of the hops.
Mouthfeel: Slightly creamy, with medium carbonation. Bitterness is not at all harsh, but it lingers at back of throat and sides of tongue. Lovely.
Drinkability & Notes: This is the kind of saison I've been trying to brew for a long time---in some ways, its closer to something like Taras Boulba than my previous inspired-by attempts (although the malt is cleaner and crisper in the De La Senne beer). As I'd hoped, the profile of the yeast blends perfectly with the European-style hops, to the point where its hard to tell where the flavours are coming from. I'm excited to see how this one ages as the two brettanomyces strains begin to make their presence known.

Day 2
Near Willie Pritchard's to water tower
18 miles
"Would you like to spend more time relaxing in a motel tomorrow or surrounded by and on top of cow shit?", asked General Lee. At this point we had just kicked cow shit aside to sit in a small patch of shade on the side of an ancient rusting water tank.
So we got up off the ground and trudged out 5 more miles this after noon.
Much better day today, but we are all tired and Louis had sprouted a blister on his little toe. There is nothing to do around here but walk all day. Around noon we aimed for the shade of a telephone pole in the middle of the parched desert.
The vastness of this dried up universe is astounding. I am afraid to put on shorts, I don't want sunburned legs. The grit is everywhere.
We see no one out here. We passed a woman walking her two dogs this morning on the highway after we left our campsite and she told us only 10-12 hikers pass by this route every year. No exactly a popular hiking destination. There is no conceivable reason anyone would be going here except to say they walked from the Mexico border on the CDT. Every hour or so we have to crawl on our stomachs under a barbed wire fence.
We took water out of troughs for cattle, ignoring the thousands on dead wasps and bees floating in the green algaed- up tanks. There is no option if you want to stay alive.
We camped on hard gravel half mile off a jeep trail that led to more solar powered water sources.
I heard the sound of a pair of owls in the night where it got down to 35 degrees.
The wind finally stopped. Every part of my body aches.

What is Etsy Studio exactly for? I assumed it would be more for the make-it-sell-it end of things, as etsy itself seems to have moved away from that somewhatReplies
I think Etsy Studio was set up for people to sell materials, supplies and tools for making items rather than for finished items unless they can be used in the production of items. Ie yarn, craft materials etc. Some of my products (the pincushions) were automatically put into my Studio as they fall within the category of sewing supplies.I know what you mean about Etsy having moved away from the make it sell it idealogy.Delete

ōlloclip 3-in-1 camera lens for iPhone now available in white
In his review of the ōlloclip 3-in-1 camera lens for iPhone 4/4s earlier this year, Appletell writer Aaron Kraus stated, "With more users carrying an iPhone 4 or 4S with the express purpose of using it as an always-on camera, it only makes sense that great accessories like the ōlloclip will come along to cover those situations where Apple's minimalist design leaves us wanting a little bit more. For only $70, the ōlloclip makes a great first step into the wider world of photography, especially since a high quality DSLR lens offering only one of the ōlloclip's three functions could easily go for 10 times the price."
And now it comes in white, available exclusively in Apple Stores worldwide and olloclip.com and retails for $69.99 USD.
As with the black and red models, the white ōlloclip (with black lenses) allows for fisheye, wide-angle and macro shots in one small, convenient package. The ōlloclip connects to the iPhone within seconds and automatically aligns itself over the camera. Selecting a lens is as simple as flipping it over, and the lenses work with all iPhone apps, both in video and photo modes.
Lens options include:
- The olloclip Fisheye Lens captures approximately a 180° field-of-view.
- The Wide-Angle Lens effectively doubles the iPhone's normal perspective.
- The Macro Lens applies roughly a 10X multiplier and is cleverly concealed within the olloclip by unscrewing the Wide-Angle lens.
The ōlloclip ships with a microfiber carrying case and lens cleaner.

College: Concord
Hometown: Winter Park, Fla.
Experience: 6 years
Bret Munsey enters his sixth season with the Redskins in 2019 after initially joining the team during the 2014 offseason.
In 2018, Munsey helped oversee a unit that was ranked first in the NFL in kickoff returns allowed (13). He was a major part in guiding punter Tress Way who had a career season. Way finished the season with a league leading 41 punts inside the 20 yard line and was the only punter in the NFL to not record a touchback (minimum of 20 punts). He also finished the season with a 41.5 net average which was the ninth best mark in the league last season.
In 2017, Munsey and Special Teams Coordinator Ben Kotwica helped the Redskins rank second in the NFL in kickoff return average allowed at 18.7 yards per return, the team's lowest average allowed since 2001 (17.2). The performance guided the Redskins to their eighth Top 5 finish in the NFL (2006-11, 2015, 2017) in kickoff coverage in a 12-year span. The unit accomplished the feat despite being forced by injury-related attrition to use 66 different players on special teams, the franchise's most in a season in participation data records dating back to 1993.
Munsey helped a number of Redskins special teamers turn in notable performances in 2016. With 34 field goals on the year, kicker Dustin Hopkins broke Mark Moseley's team record of 33 field goals set in 1983. Meanwhile, returner Jamison Crowder ended the team's 124-game drought without a punt return for touchdown in Week 5 at Baltimore, returning a punt 85 yards for a touchdown in an eventual six-point win. The Redskins finished the season with an 11.9-yard punt return average, fourth-best in the NFL, marking the Redskins' first finish in the Top 5 in punt return average since leading the league in the category in 1995.
Munsey contributed to the Redskins' special teams success in 2015 during its NFC East championship season. The unit posted a Top 5 ranking in kickoff coverage (20.1 yards allowed per return) and contributed three special teams touchdowns, including a team-record-tying two kickoff returns for touchdowns and a blocked punt recovery for a touchdown.
Prior to joining the Redskins, Munsey served as a national scout for the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2013 season. He spent the 2012 season as the head coach of the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League. Prior to his stint in Orlando, he served two seasons as the director of player personnel for the Florida Tuskers of the UFL (2009-10), working with current Redskins head coach Jay Gruden. In 2011, the team moved to Virginia Beach, and as Director of Personnel, Munsey helped guide the Virginia Destroyers to the 2011 UFL Championship.
From 2006-08, Munsey served as head coach of the AFL's Philadelphia Soul. Munsey finished with a 35-20 overall record, including a 16-3 record and Arena Bowl title in 2008. In his first season with the Soul, Munsey led the team to their first postseason appearance in franchise history, finishing with a 9-7 record.
From 2003-05, Munsey served as the secondary coach and director of player personnel for the Predators in his first stint in Orlando, working alongside Gruden, who was the team's head coach at the time. In 2002, Munsey was the head coach of the Tennessee Valley Vipers in the af2 league, where he was named the league's coach of the year. He spent one season with the Carolina Cobras of the AFL in 2001, after beginning his coaching career in 2000 as the defensive coordinator of the Augusta Stallions of af2.
A native of Winter Park, Fla., Munsey was a three-sport star at Winter Park H.S. He played collegiately at Concord University (W.Va.) and played professionally for the Predators from 1991-95.
1991-95 Receiver/Defensive Back Orlando Predators (AFL)

Ok so the dress. The bodice is made with lace applique sewn on top of silk organza. This took forever and a day in case you were wondering. haha I definitely listened to my fair share of podcasts during this process! (Stuff You Should Know, Doug Fabrizio, and Help I Suck at Dating. :)

I know, I know! Halloween hasn't even arrived, but if you're a teacher, you know now is the time to start considering seasonal activities for the upcoming month. And so, for all you teachers, both at home and at school, three ideas for bringing gratitude to the forefront in your and your students' lives.
Why Gratitude?
Studies have shown that people who are grateful tend to live happier, healthier lives. Since November culminates in the grand holiday of Thanksgiving, it only makes sense to build toward this crescendo by focusing on gratitude each day in the weeks leading up to it.
Exercise 1: Thanksgiving Freewrites
Set aside time daily for your students to write a paragraph of at least 5 to 10 sentences, (depending on the ability of your students) about one person or thing for which each is grateful.
Requiring students to write multiple sentences will provide them with opportunities to practice elaborating on their subject and develop fluency in writing.
In addition to requiring a minimum number of sentences each day, limit students free-writing on any topic to just once each topic, thus encouraging them to think in an increasingly broad way about their lives and their world, and to find pleasure and gratitude in a wider range of subjects than they may have initially been aware of or considered.
For further details about this option go here.
Exercise 2: Thank You Notes
November is also a great month for students to learn how to, and practice, writing thank you notes. (After all, everyone knows the holiday season will be coming next.) During the month of November, I like to have my students write thank you notes to teachers, school staff, and other people who are important to their lives.
At the Downtown Learning Center, I teach my students the following template for writing thank you notes:
Dear Recipient:
Thank you so much for whatever it is you appreciate about this person.
Write one or two sentences explaining why you appreciate this.
Reword and repeat the first sentence.
For more information click here
Exercise 3: Gratitude Leaves
The Downtown Learning Center is located, you guessed it, in our city's downtown shopping and business area, and so we have a large, storefront window that faces onto the sidewalk and street.
We started to make Gratitude Leaves about three years ago and they have been such a hit with the staff and neighbors that I can hardly wait to do it again this year.
What are Gratitude Leaves? They are individual leaves, in a variety of shapes and colors, on which students, anonymously, write one thing they are grateful for every day until we break for Thanksgiving. All the staff participates as well. Then each day we tape our leaves to the window.
By the time Thanksgiving break comes our wide, wide window is a wonderful mosaic of yellow, gold, red, orange, crimson and even a few purple leaves that seem to glow as the western light shines through them.
If you want your students to be able to take these home for Thanksgiving, you instruct them to take them down on the last day of break and have each student tape his or her leaves to a paper ring, making a Gratitude Wreath.
Writing about these options for reflecting on how blessed we are and how much good there actually is in our lives has me so excited. Let those dark days of November come!

My journeys to the bookstore this year have been filled with picking up all of those haunting "mean to read" books. Every single time I go lately I've been picking up something that I keep wanting to read. Apparently, I know my tastes because I've enjoyed everything so far and this is no exception. The Dovekeepers has haunted me at the bookstore for years now. It hits all sorts to checkboxes that make me want to pick up a book: it's critically acclaimed, about women, historical fiction, discusses religion in a historic context.
I first learned about the mass suicides at Masada in high school, in Latin class. Because clearly I was the geek who learned to read Latin (I also maybe wrote my high school diaries in runes to make them hard to crack, but you know, this isn't all about what a weirdo I am), and when you elect to learn Latin you also get to learn all sorts of ancient history. Maybe that's why I'm a fan of the civilizations exhibits at museums. It was a fascinating story: an entire city that chose to organize a mass "suicide" rather than surrender to the Roman forces.
Alice Hoffman explores this story through the eyes of four women of Masada. I don't even know where to start with the beauty of this book. The history is simply astounding, the characters are strong and weak and complex and interesting all at once. Perhaps most interesting to me is the portrayal of Judaism at the time, how much seems to be relying on myth and angels, how deeply these characters live their religion, how much a part of them their beliefs are - even when they claim not to believe. The repetition of the rule not to harm oneself, that it is harming God's creation - the way that rule is hammered in repeatedly, and how relevant it is to the story being told.
The story unfolds in the most gorgeous way, with the four narrators each taking a turn. As any one voice begins I started with the feeling that I wasn't particularly a fan of the character. Hoffman's brilliance in writing is that over the course of a few short chapters I move from not liking the character to being fascinated by them.
Hands down, I would pick this up again and read it happily. My only regret is that I didn't read it sooner.

A study published in the September/October issue of the journal Child Development found different developmental patterns of achievement between immigrant children of different races/ethnicities. Overall, the study found that immigrant groups as a whole make large gains over time, and that some groups are more likely to have problems than others.
The study, from researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Columbia University in New York City, also finds that across racial/ethnic groups, immigrant children (except for black immigrant children) had significantly lower verbal scores on average than their respective non-immigrant peers, and that these lower scores were directly related to family income and the mother's level of education and age. Yet most immigrant children made more individual progress over time in their verbal ability than non-immigrant children.
The study's goal was to examine differences in elementary school-age children's verbal abilities by immigrant and racial/ethnic status. The researchers focused on English verbal ability because it is central for children's success in school and beyond. A secondary goal was to see if family and neighborhood socioeconomic resources explained differences in immigrant children's verbal ability and whether patterns differed for children of different racial/ethnic groups.
The researchers evaluated 2,136 immigrant and non-immigrant children from four racial/ethnic groups: white, black, Mexican and Puerto Rican. The children lived in 80 Chicago neighborhoods that differed by socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic composition and were followed as part of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods.
Researchers evaluated children's verbal ability three times over a six-year period. They then averaged children's scores over time and compared verbal differences ("inter-individual verbal growth"). They also examined how individual children's scores changed over time ("intra-individual verbal growth").
For inter-individual verbal differences, findings revealed that:
- White children, both immigrant and non-immigrant, generally had high average verbal scores, but non-immigrants' scores were higher than immigrants'.
- Black immigrant children had higher average verbal scores than their non-immigrant peers.
- Mexican and Puerto Rican children, immigrant and non-immigrant, had low average verbal scores, but non-immigrants' scores were somewhat higher than immigrants'.
The gap between immigrant and non-immigrant children's average verbal scores was explained by the family's income and the mother's education and age.
When it comes to children's patterns of intra-individual verbal growth, all immigrant children showed more verbal growth into adolescence than their non-immigrant peers, except for Mexican immigrant children, who made less progress than their non-immigrant peers.
However, despite most immigrant children's higher levels of individual growth by adolescence, non-immigrant children entered kindergarten with sizeable advantages over their immigrant peers. The immigrant disadvantage at school entry was especially large for racial/ethnic minorities.
Family and neighborhood resources do not explain the immigrant group differences in verbal growth, said lead researcher Tama Leventhal, PhD, associate research scientist of the Institute for Policy Studies and assistant professor at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. "It is possible that immigrant children have greater motivation to succeed in school than non-immigrant children," she said. Additionally, she noted, as immigrant children become more proficient in English during the early school years, they may benefit more from the schooling experience than non-immigrant children by middle childhood and early adolescence.
"The findings have important implications for research, theory and practice regarding immigrant children and children of color," said Dr. Leventhal. For one, the findings suggest that studies of immigrant group differences in achievement that neglect variation across racial/ethnic groups may lead to biased results. Additionally, the results show the importance of studying inter-individual as well as intra-individual processes of change, particularly in the case of immigrant children; these two types of change were distinct and worked in opposite directions.
"Finally," she noted, "the policy implications point towards Mexican immigrants and African-American non-immigrants as groups that are struggling and merit attention."

The leasing market shifted from a fast growing to a fierce competition with a constant struggle of the companies to bring new products and strictly control their expenses. In such conditions, for a business to be more profitable, to have a fast and organizational ability are key words. An IT solution, like Charisma, designed and developed by TotalSoft can bring to a company increased efficiency and added value that makes the difference between competitors.
"Besides our offer, the most important parts in our area are the quality of the services, rapidness and professionalism we give proof of, no matter we talk about a dealer or the final customer. The project "Quick Offer", as we named it, is a BCR Leasing innovation and I strongly believe that it will change many companies' way of working."

How to Choose Chocolate for Baking
When we reach for a piece of chocolate just to eat, it can be as easy as grabbing what's around, or simply purchasing what we feel like eating at the moment – very dark bittersweet, a velvety milk chocolate or what have you. When we incorporate chocolate into a recipe, however, we need to think about how that chocolate harmonizes with the other ingredients, both in terms of flavor and texture. This wasn't always the case. When I was growing up we typically had semisweet chocolate morsels in the pantry as well as some squares of unsweetened chocolate, both purchased at the supermarket. There was never a choice of brands; I would venture a guess that many of you know what the brands were and probably had them in your household too, if your formative baking years were the 1960's and 1970's. They worked; our chocolate chip cookies were fine as were our batches of fudge brownies. Well, the world has changed – big time! The choice of chocolate has never been greater and this is a boon to the baker as we can pick and choose chocolates best suited to the recipe at hand. But how do we choose?
High-end brands, as well as easily found commercial brands, have begun to give us cacao mass percentages right on the label. These will be represented by something that says "50%" or "65% cocoa" or "55% cacao "; we can now find numerous bittersweet and semisweet chocolate choices in the very same supermarkets that used to offer a very limited selection. That's a start. But the flavor profile of each individual chocolate is unique and also carries with it certain textural components. An understanding of all of these factors should be taken into account when choosing a chocolate to incorporate into a recipe.
If you are making a recipe with fruity, acidic flavors, perhaps one that includes berries or citrus, you should consider using a chocolate with the same assertive flavor notes, perhaps Valrhona Manjari or Scharffen Berger Bittersweet (readily found in Whole Foods stores). On the other hand, if you are making a recipe where the chocolate is meant to be soft and round and full on the palate, without any readily discernable flavors other than "chocolate", then Valrhona Equitoriale or Callebaut Semisweet (sold in bulk in many supermarkets) would be better choices. The recipes will be greatly affected by your choice.
This was most dramatically revealed to me when I was making a chocolate peanut butter tart, years ago. At the time I was quite fond of Valrhona Manjari and I used it for the recipe; the results were not worth repeating! The very sharp, acidic flavors in this chocolate clashed horribly with the creamy, nutty peanut butter flavors. Particularly since we are so used to that flavor combo in classic peanut butter cup candies, my combination was especially jarring. I re-made the recipe using Callebaut semisweet and it was like night and day; this was the correct chocolate choice. Now the chocolate was harmonizing with the peanut butter, the flavors blending beautifully making a dessert that was more than a sum of its parts. One the other hand, if I am combining dark chocolate with raspberries or citrus, I reach for the Manjari every time, to great effect, and for this application, it is the perfect chocolate.
The best-case scenario is to taste chocolates and take notes. That way, when you are ready to approach a recipe, you will have an idea which chocolate would work best. This can be a work-in-progress; a chocolate notebook for your own reference points. If you want to substitute a different chocolate for one that is suggested, try to stay close to the percentage of cacao mass of the chocolate listed as possible and follow your flavor notations.
Another aspect to consider is texture. All of the chocolates I suggest are delectable to eat on their own and also work as chunks or pieces incorporated into recipes. However, when melted and blended into a recipe, chocolates "act" in very different ways. Some seem to be drier and thicker, others are fluid and smooth. In a recipe such as a ganache, where you have only one other ingredient (cream) this can be especially important.
The long story short is I urge you to use the specific chocolates suggested, where they are notated in any recipes of mine or from other sources. The recipe developers that take the time to make specific recommendations do so for very good reasons. Using different chocolates will give you variable results, and probably not positive ones.

Ever since I was a teenager I have always been drawn to Soho. Even before I moved to London I would joke that no matter where I was I could always find my way there. I spend most of my nights out there, it has amazing food and entertainment that you won't find anywhere else. Soho has a life and an energy of it's own, one that is hard to capture, so when I saw that a show was attempting to do just that, I knew I just had to see it.
Soho is a dance and circus theatre performance that takes you through different areas and aspects of Soho life through the day and night. It is told through movement, amazing feats of strength and endurance, dance and music
Physically, you will see some performances here that will leave you in awe of what the body can do. Various expertly performed circus skills are shown here including aerial performance, gymnastics and more set to a street dance style beat. This relatively small cast do achieve some incredible things, however, some of the less impressive-performances appear when the artists appear to lack energy, particularly within the large group scenes in the first act. Here at times it almost seems as if they are just going through the motions, appearing as it if is more for a rehearsal than a full live performance. It is a shame as it draws away from some of the really incredible physical endurance and skill that happens around these moments. There is some physical comedy but sadly this fails throughout, not even gaining a titter from the audience.
The second half was darker, grittier and appeared to have the most energy. Here we see performers really commit and the story truly emerges.
On the whole however, story is lacking and I think more could have been done to bring it together, rather than it just being a jumble of unrelated scenes. One actor is 'lost' and goes from scene to scene, stumbling across things at will and this is the only real story arch, I think it could do with just a little more heart.
The multimedia aspect of this performance is really well done however, the streets, bars and other aspects of Soho come to life via some expertly created projections which really look stunning. The set build is simple but used amazingly well with the projection to create the different spaces in Soho.
Soho is on at The Peacock Theatre until the 20th of May

Personally, of course, I Regret Everything
*The wonderful headline, since you ask, is not mine but Samuel Beckett's.
**Good grief! And I just discovered this site. Go there and apologise now.

I can't apologise to my wife for leaving the toilet seat up. Just as well I'm not in politics.ReplyDelete
Wasn't it the Normans who invaded in 1066? But hair-splitting apart, I think the Norweigans have a lot more to answer for than either the Normans or the French, because if Harald Hadrada had not invaded first and worn poor old Harald Goodwinson out, he would have won the battle of H, and we would not be a nation with any inclination to apologise to anyone. (maybe -- but I make the assertion in the spirit of this blog being a Thought Experiment).ReplyDelete
Good post, Bryan -- great blog. (And I didn't write that just to get through your comment moderation system.)
Oh yeah, sure, they called themselves Normans, Maxine, but didn't you notice the hooped sweaters, berets, strings of onions and marked lack of soap? French. Definitely.ReplyDelete
- Neil ForsythNovember 29, 2006 9:45 am
One has to agree with Anthony Beevor on this one. An apology such as Blair's is utterly meaningless. He's not sorry. And he's not speaking for the British nation, as I'm quite certain no sane British person is beating themselves up over the issue. He also made a statement about the Irish famine in the past few days that stopped short of an apology. This was noted by some, but as an Irishman I can quite honestly say that I couldn't care less whether Mr. Blair apologises or not. As long as it doesn't happen again, we can all be friends. Of course, if we did experience another famine, it probably wouldn't be a potato famine. Perhaps, it would be something on a smaller scale, and with less deaths and emigration: "The Great Cappuccino Famine" of 2020.ReplyDelete
- philip wallingNovember 29, 2006 9:58 am
One would have thought Blair's first apology ought to have been to the Iraqis.ReplyDelete
I'm a Celt - or half Celt - and the Celtic half of me was traumatised when we were invaded by waves of Anglo-Saxons and then Norsemen who took our lands and our daughters and deprived us of our ancient language. An apology from the Norwegians would be a good start.
- CaptainBNovember 29, 2006 10:08 am
I think the Romans came here in about 55 BC. Or so I was told when I was 7 or 8 by one Mr Ross. Then the Germanic invaders, followed by the Vikings. Mr Ross liked the thought of them chasing some fat little monk with a huge battleaxe. So did I. Clearly explains a lot. The Normans themselves were, of course, frenchified Norsemen, who settled in Normandy in about 960 AD. The Norman Conquest of England (as well as Sicily) was a joint-stock enterprise, involving Bretons- stripey shirts- Poitovains, Flemings and many others. The late, great Channel Islander historian Jean-le Patourel was good on all this. I seem to remember that the Dutch invaded Britain too in the 17th century, but we tend to regard this as liberation from James II. No we don't need to apologise for the slave trade, not least because Evangelical British Christians played a major role in abolishing it. Apologies will only perpetuate group grievances- victimhood being one of the primary 'moral' incentives for persecuting others. Grow up, move on, and sing the new anthem: 'Polly, Polly, Toynbee Hurrah, Hurrah, Joy to the Community'.ReplyDelete
As ever, CaptainB says it all - but here's a linguistic footnote.In English the word 'sorry' has auseful degree of ambiguity built in - it can express either regret or apology, two very different things, only the second of them bearing any weight of moral responsibility. This enablesReplyDelete
Anglophones to appear to apologise while doing no such thing. The IRA
mastered this art long ago, but it can also be quite a handy tactic in the battleground of marital strife...
- Lee MadgwickNovember 29, 2006 11:30 am
Good Lord iregret.net is rather depressing.ReplyDelete
I think the French should apologise. No reason. I'd just like to see it.
Maybe the biggest regret and the most important apology should come from us, the human race, to planet earth! Too deep? Sorry.
- Neil ForsythNovember 29, 2006 11:36 am
I dug deep, wrestled with my conscience and left a comment on that site. And I have to say I feel immeasurably better for it. Truly, a weight off my mind. I hope my wife reads it.ReplyDelete
No, no, Lee, we like deep. It is what we aim for in our roundabout way. And apologising to the earth is eminently sounds. Well done, Neil, I am sure you feel much better.ReplyDelete
I really don't see the point in apologising for slavery. We as a society know now how wrong it was and have made sure it will never happen again, as with a lot of things. Who was he trying to please? Again Tony Blair speaking for a country that has lost all respect for him and no longer feels he's a spokesperson for.ReplyDelete
As for the potato famine, being a mid twenties male educated at a comprehensive school, the only knowledge I have of it is what I have learnt through TV. There was nothing in our history lessons at school that covered it. I was only directed to look it up after an episode of Alan Partridge where he said "At the end of the day, they will pay the price for being a fussy eater".
We could, of course, have a national sorry day, get it all out of the way, breathe again and get on with it.ReplyDelete
- Susan BaléeNovember 29, 2006 11:45 pm
About that weasel word, "Sorry." My favorite usage of it is when you're having an argument with a significant other and s/he says: "I'm sorry you feel that way." Isn't at all the same as saying you're sorry!ReplyDelete
In the U.S., Tony Blair would have said a few words more. He'd have expressed deep sorrow "to anyone who may have been offended by slavery." You British have a ways to go before you catch up to Americans in the oily, sneering yet groveling, non-apology apology department.ReplyDelete
P.S. Have Angela Merkel and Jacques Chirac expressed regret yet for Charlemagne's mopping up of the Avars?

Today, we were finally able to update our home phone system. We now have phone service through the cable company. It is somehow connected to our home computer and this service required a new cable modem that is about 4 times larger than the old one. I was thinking that as a person born in the late 50s, I've seen quite a bit of changes in telephones. From dial phones to push button, analog to digital, bulky box phones to miniature cell phones. Today is a look at a few phone styles I've seen.
One of my grandmothers had a phone like this although it was a bit dated at the time.
This was a common style I remember from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
Here's a wall version that no kitchen in the 1950s, 60s and 70s was without.
"Princess Phone" was a popular model.
Then the push button phones became popular and besides models similar to the above but with pushbuttons, other novelty phone designs were becoming popular.
Alf telephone of the 1980s
It started to become commonplace to have call waiting,caller id, call forwarding, and conference calls. Now there are even households that do not have home phone service but exclusively use cellphones. Society is changing and it is virtually impossible to get away from ringing telephones unless you have a musical ring tone or turn the phone off. Phones also store numbers so with one button you can call someone. Let's not forget speaker phone technology too. I think most of us know that it would be hard to post a picture of a representative phone of 2011 because between cellphones and home phones there are phones that connect you to the Internet, have applications that allow you to remotely start your car, watch television and a plethora of other activities too numerous to accurately list.

My initial plans for Saturday morning were to wash up the borders that Dad had edged for me on Thursday. About six inches of grass needed to be eliminated between the stone border and the little trench Dad's edger had reduce. Not a simple job, but it surely needed to be performed earlier than the grass grew back over the trench.
I used to have lots of petunias hanging from my balcony however then we determined to turn the balcony into the room and join it to the rest of the closed house so no more petunia for me. As if residing in a flat will not be boring as it's 🙂 So I get a huge basket of petunias and hold it on my patio shade construction during the complete summer season when I get to get pleasure from our summer season house. Dark purple petunias are my favorite.
This enticing birdhouse – or extra precisely, this nesting shelf – is a DIY Scrap Wood Venture made out of pieces of salvaged wooden. The ends and bottom items of the birdhouse had been minimize from a cedar corner board eliminated throughout a reworking job, and I salvaged the milled facet pieces from the railings of cedar play set. A few slats from an previous pallet present the roof items and door trim, and the steel stars tacked to each of the ends are re-purposed Christmas ornaments.
The garden in the photograph is of the Youngsters's garden part of Inniswood Metro Park, also called the Sister's Backyard. it is a garden our household has visited many times. Trying like an Ohio farmhouse and orchard, it holds a child's discovery area, together with a water play area. There are numerous such delightful discoveries for garden lovers of all ages in Ohio. If happening trip to Ohio, you'll want to see a few of the out there gardens near your vacation spot. Make your journey plans extra enjoyable!
There are bugs in the new garden however commonly scheduled running a blog will resume as I work out the kinks. Along with customary homesteading content material there are a number of exciting tidbits to share. Together with a second more centered and rockin' podcast, an article contribution to an area zine and a new function for a rad weekly.
