When you start collecting coupons, it can be overwhelming. Those tiny slips of paper can clutter up your home fast and if they aren't organized properly, it's likely that you will miss out on some fantastic savings at the store.
By making a plan to organize your coupons when you receive them, you will be better able to find any coupon you need when you're out shopping.
Following are a few ways you can organize your coupons.
How to Organize Your Coupons
For a beginner, I would definitely suggest using envelopes to organize your coupons. Just write the categories (food, pets, health, beauty, etc.) on them and stuff your coupons inside.
You will probably need to swap out your envelopes for new ones every so often, because they can easily get torn when you cart them and your coupons around with you each time you go shopping.
Accordion File
This is another great coupon organization system for beginners. These small accordion files have tabs for you to use to separate your coupons, making finding what you need very easy. Just clip your coupons and put them in their respective categories.
You will often find these organizing tools at many dollar stores and they are usually of good quality. However, if you can't seem to find any at your local dollar store, many big box stores such as Walmart will carry these as well (though, they may be a bit bigger – and more expensive).
Coupon Binder
Coupon binders are great for more advanced couponers/extreme couponers. Simply purchase a large binder, some divider tabs and trading card protector sheets and put them all together.
Divide your coupons by category, date or alphabetically with your divider tabs and place your coupons in the protector sheets and then into the binder.
It's also a good idea to carry a pair of scissors, pen & pencil and calculator with you when you shop. Click here for my tutorial on creating a coupon binder.
How to Sort Your Coupons
Alphabetically: Set up your divider tabs or envelopes from A-Z and file your coupons away. If you have a good idea of all the coupons you currently have, this may be a good system for you.
By Expiry Date: Check the expiry dates on all of your coupons. Write down the dates on your divider tabs or envelopes and sort your coupons this way. This is a great system for ensuring you use up your coupons before they expire.
By Category: Sorting by category is the easiest, especially if you have a lot of coupons and can't always remember each and every one that you have. The most common categories are: health, beauty, pets, baby/kids, food, household, and miscellaneous. You could always go more in depth and do something like this: food – cereal, food – meat, food – fruits & vegetables, beauty – makeup, beauty – hair care, etc.
Once you've created your categories, put your coupons into the categories that they belong to.
Note: Make sure that you go through your coupons and weed out the expired ones at least once every month. This makes the task less overwhelming, and also prevents embarrassment at the store if you try to use an expired coupon.
Do I really have to carry my coupons with me everywhere I go?
I do suggest bringing your coupons with you if you think it's possible that you may end up in a store that accepts them. A good tip is to keep your coupons in your purse or car so that if you do make that unexpected trip, your coupons are right there and you won't miss out on a good deal (if you come across one).
Some people suggest only carrying the coupons you plan on using when you go shopping. This idea is fine and dandy, but I suggest carrying all of your coupons in case of unexpected deals. Many stores have items on sale that are not advertised in their flyers. You can also find clearance racks at most stores and you would miss out on those deals if you didn't have all of your coupons with you.
Organizing your coupons (and keeping them organized) is very important if you want to be able to save as much money as possible at the grocery store.
When new coupons come in, try to file them right away. If this is not possible, set aside a bit of time once every week to clip and file your coupons. If you wait any longer than that, it's possible that you will have an abundance of coupons to organize and could get overwhelmed.

The 2011 mortgage lending report below helps explain the extent of the existing real estate problem along Main Street USA, which is currently in a state of economic depression -- QE3 attacks this issue directly -- unfortunately, QE3 carries inflation risks for the larger US economy -- however, some inflation along Main Street USA is sorely needed at this point given the devastating declines in property values that continue to persist in many real estate markets in the US -- for better or worse, the Fed is now fully focused on the real estate drag in the US economy.

I just have a hard time understanding how inflation is going to help the average schlepp who has to buy food and energy on a limited income with little to no investments. the wealthy? sure. the top 1% (and I'm not complaining) have done quite well under obama while the other 99% have suffered yet the 99% want hiom reelected! go figure

I love sweet little dates with Devin whenever we have time ( once every few months sadly) but I had the idea of instead of finding a sitter for Miss Macy and going to a resteraunt you could totally make your own pretty table setting at home fit for a romantic date. Guess what's even better? This is mostly all used items from Value Village! They blew me away this year with all their new and used holiday decor. When I was there I picked up : gold charger plates, white table cloth, a fake floral bouquet, gold vase, fake candles, silver berries and fake greenery. The gold vase was perfect for the bouquet and I even added in some dried oranges. Here are some photos for your tablescape inspiration. Can't wait to cook a meal and use this for our date!
Thanks Value Village for sponsoring this post and helping me decorate with style.

Even in the best of situations, walleyes generally do not jump in the boat. Anglers must work to catch them. Their eyes are sensitive to the sun and walleyes can be finicky eaters, too, especially during and after a cold front. But walleyes remain a popular game fish -- and in Minnesota, they are the state fish -- because they have white meat that makes a great meal. They prove challenging to catch, too, so many anglers go home happy after catching a walleye or two for dinner.
Pack the three most productive live baits for walleyes -- leeches, minnows and night crawlers. While all can work at anytime, minnows tend to work best when the water temperature is 65 degrees or lower.
Rig a 6- to 7-foot rod and reel with 4- to 6-pound test fishing line.
Create a Lindy rig to present the live bait. Cut a 36- to 48-inch length of line off the main line. Slide a 1/4-oz. sliding sinker onto the end of the line, and then tie a barrel swivel onto the line. Attach the section of line you just cut to the other end of the swivel. Tie to the end of the leader a size 2 hook to fish with minnows, a size 4 hook to fish with night crawlers and a size 6 hook to fish with leeches.
Tie a 1/4-oz. lead-head jig to the end of the fishing line on a second rod and reel combination, if you have one.
Take the water temperature into consideration as you search for walleyes. When the temperature drops to 55 degrees F or lower, you'll likely find them around shallow areas with rocks and moving water. Emerging vegetation beds attract walleyes as the water temperatures rise through the 60s and, once they hit the 70s, deeper areas like drop-offs, humps, reefs and weed edges become better.
Drop the Lindy rig and bait to the bottom. Drift or troll through likely areas, making sure your rig stays on the bottom. Continue moving until you locate fish.
Set the hook with a sweep of the rod when you detect a bite. Walleye bites on Lindy rigs, so subtle at times, may only feel like additional weight.
Mark the spot where a walleye bites. The fish congregate in schools, so where you catch one you often can catch at least one more. Work the area more thoroughly with the Lindy rig, or put a piece of live bait on a jig and cast it into the area.
- Switch to a heavier sinker or jig head if you have trouble feeling the bottom with a 1/4-oz. weight.

Organization of Response Areas in Ferret Primary Auditory Cortex
Shamma, Shihab A.
Fleshman, James W.
Wiser, Philip R.
Versnel, Huib
MetadataShow full item record
We studied the topographic organization of the response areas obtained from single - and multi-unit recordings along the isofrequency planes of the primary auditory cortex (AI) in the barbiturate-anesthertized ferret. Using a two-tone stimulus, the excitatory and inhibitory portions of the response areas were determined and then parameterized in terms of an asymmetry index. The index measures the balance of excitatory and inhibitory influences around the best frequency (BF). The sensitivity of responses to the direction of a frequency-modulated (FM) tone was tested and found to correlate strongly with the asymmetry index of the response areas. Specifically, cells with strong inhibition from frequencies above (below) the BF preferred upward (downward) sweeps. Responses to spectrally shaped noise were also consistent with the asymmetry of the response areas: cells that were strongly inhibited by frequencies higher than the BF responded best to stimuli that contained least spectral energy above the BF. In a local region, most cells exhibited similar response area types and other response features. the distribution of the asymmetry index values along the isofrequency planes revealed systematic changes in the symmetry of the response areas. At the center, response areas with narrow and symmetric inhibitory sidebands predominated. These gave way to asymmetric inhibition, with high frequency inhibition (relative to the BF ) becoming more effective caudally, and low frequency inhibition more effective rostrally. These response types tended to cluster along repeated bands that paralleled the tonotopic asix. One functionaly implication of the response area organization is that cortical responses encode the locally averaged gradient of the acoustic spectrum by their differential distribution along the isofrequency planes. This enhances the representation of such features as the symmetry of spectral peaks, edges, and the spectral envelope. This scheme can be viewed as the one- dimensional analogue of spatial phase sensitivity in simple cells of the primary visual cortex, which there gives rise to spatial frequency channels and orientation columns.

After nearly 28 years serving the community of Campbell, Chief of Police Gregory Finch is retiring.
"He's a great man. He's going to be missed," said Lisa Tait, support services manager at the Campbell Police Department.
Finch began his career as a police officer in February 1987. He was promoted to sergeant in 1996, captain in 2007 and chief of police in 2009. After spending his entire career with the Campbell Police Department, his last day will be in July.
"In my opinion, it's the best department," he said. "I feel extremely blessed to have landed here."
After retiring, Finch will begin working at Apple in global security investigations, a job that involves protecting the company's intellectual property.
While Finch said it will be difficult for him to let go of the responsibility he feels for the Campbell Police Department, he is "excited about the change" that will happen when he goes to Apple.
"I've had my career. I feel so privileged," he said.
During his years as chief, Finch has focused on accountability. The words "The core principles of policing: service, justice and fundamental fairness" are painted in large letters on a wall of his office.
Fundamental fairness means treating everyone with courtesy and respect, not discriminating and applying the rules equally to everyone, he said. Finch wants his legacy to be defined by how the people he's hired and promoted are doing five years from now.
"I think I've hired the best and promoted the best, and I think they're just rock stars," he said.
Capt. Dave Carmichael said Finch is "somebody who genuinely cares about everybody who works in the department."
Finch is also quick-witted and "great fun," with a great memory for facts and numbers, according to Carmichael.
"You don't want to get into an argument with him when it has to do with any kind of number, because he can remember numbers and facts from hundreds of years ago," he said. "If you check it, you're going to be wrong and he's going to be right."
Finch was born in New York, where his father worked for IBM. When he was 2 years old his family moved to Florida. When he was 9 years old, his family relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, and finally settled in Almaden when he was about to start seventh grade. He attended Castillero Middle School and Pioneer High School.
Finch went on to study administration of justice with a concentration in law enforcement at San Jose State University. Although he originally planned to become an attorney, he was drawn to law enforcement because he enjoys working with a team and being able to make a difference.
"It's a career where you get an opportunity to talk to people and hopefully make lives better," he said.
Finch decided to apply for a job at the Campbell Police Department on a whim. He was studying for finals at the library during his junior year of college when he saw a clipboard of job announcements. He decided to test for a job as an officer and was hired as a graduating senior. He later went back to school to finish four classes in order to earn his degree.
Besides being chief of police, Finch is also a semi-professional magician. He describes his love of magic as "beyond a hobbyist obsession."
"I really find it intriguing to create the ability for astonishment for someone," he said.
While executing a trick, his eyes light up and the excitement is audible in his voice.
"I spent a life of solving mysteries, so now I get pleasure out of creating a mystery," he said.
Finch has an arsenal of hundreds–if not thousands–of tricks, with tools ranging from coins to dollar bills, lemons to rabbits and books with fire inside. He even performs a large-scale illusion where he cuts a person in half.
Carmichael said he and the staff have been guinea pigs for many of Finch's magic tricks.
"He'll try them out on us and say, 'What do you think of this trick?'… For the most part, they're pretty good," he said.
Finch believes the skills he's honed while presenting magic, such as public speaking, have helped him throughout his career.
"When you present an effect, you have to really know it well and then have confidence to be able to get out there and perform it," he said.
Before starting his law enforcement career, Finch was a baker for seven years at Sunrise Bakery in San Jose. He kicked off his short baking career in eighth or ninth grade when his older brother got him a job as a pot scrubber. During high school, he began working between 30 and 35 hours five days a week as a mixer, making fillings, frostings and cookie dough. During college, he did prep work and iced and decorated the cakes.
Finch still enjoys cooking but wouldn't want to do it as a living again.
"I still make a pretty good crème brulee and tiramisu and cheesecake," he said.
Although Finch will move quickly from one job to another, he plans to take time out over year end holidays to go on a vacation cruise with his family.
"It's just kind of a bucket list thing that I always wanted to do," he said.
Finch has been married nearly 23 years to Tonie, a first-grade teacher at Los Alamitos Elementary School in San Jose. The couple, who live in Almaden, has three daughters.
Tait, the support services manager, has worked with Finch his entire career. She says he takes to heart the motto he had painted on his wall.
"He lives it at work every day and lives it in his personal life every day," she said. "He's a man of his word and a man of integrity…and he requires that of all of us."

Sprouts Grand Opening in Mill Creek, WA is here! I've been yapping about their first store in Washington for weeks now and I'm happy to report it's officially here! It opens at 7 am and stays open until 10 pm everyday. I got a sneak peek of the store last night and let's just say I didn't want to leave!
*This post is sponsored by Sprouts- however, thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is the first Sprouts store in Washington state and I couldn't be more excited. I had been to Sprouts before on vacation in California, and Texas. Each time I would go to a store I wished there was one in Washington state. Well, my wish came true and now I can shop to my hearts content! I wanted to share my experience with you from last night and my first impressions, plus some of my favorite products.
My Experience-
First of all the store is so well laid out. Every section of the store is easily labeled making it so convenient to shop there. I know exactly where everything is at. I love that it has everything I need but doesn't feel too big. I was given a tour of the store with some other bloggers and learned so much. For example, Sprouts largest section of their store is actually their produce section- it's huge! I loved how I could find any type of produce I wanted and their organic produce section was quite large. I also love how their meat is never frozen but always fresh. So you're not paying for water- but actually the meat. They have an amazing gluten free section as well and their bulk bin section was even larger than I remember. I could get every type of raw nut I could want! I was also impressed with their wine selection. They had great organic wines available.
It's so fun exploring a new grocery store. Of course I loaded up on groceries! There were several items I couldn't get over! For example, they have a ton of organic spiralized veggie noodles in the refrigeration section. I did a happy dance when I saw them! I've never found organic spiralized veggies noodles- talk about a find. I snagged up the organic sweet potato noodles and white sweet potato noodles. I was also excited to see organic butternut squash already pre-cut in the refrigeration section as well! And I can't forget the organic shredded hash browns I found in the freezer section. The only ingredient is organic hash browns! Usually there is some other oil in there, but not with these. Basically Sprouts is making this mama's life a whole lot easier!
I even grabbed up some frozen organic greens to put in my smoothies. I loved seeing staple pantry items that I typically buy there too, like Primal Palate's dressings and mayo. Also, simply organic spices and seasonings and Redmond Real Salt sea salt. Plus, Siete Tortilla chips- you all know I have a soft spot for them! They were such a good deal there, 2 for $5. I felt like I was shopping at a familiar place because they had all my favorites but even better because they had so much more to offer!
What I love about shopping at Sprouts is the quality of products I can get there but for a seriously good price. I don't have to shop anywhere else either! Usually I have to go to several stores to find all that I need, but with Sprouts I can get it all in one place. I don't know how many people asked if they could help me when I was shopping- they were so helpful! Also, if you ever want to sample a product, ask a friendly team member. Sprouts is more than happy to help you try a product. They even offer body products, natural makeup and supplements- talk about a win/win. For a mom, that's priceless!
If you haven't checked out the new Mill Creek location in Washington do it- you'll thank me later! If you are in another state, check the Sprouts website to find a location near you. Leave me a comment if you've been to Sprouts and have a favorite product!

Yep, it's a lot to learn from this ole Bible. Better to do something than nothing. People with faith, do something besides sitting around waiting for nothing to happen. They take chances. They go somewhere. Sometimes, they be dead wrong. But lease they tried. And from that their mistake, they learn. And the ones wit guts and determination, they the ones that try again and again till they get something great accomplished.
Yep, I reckon I be one of them great ones. I ain't given up. I got a lot to live for. It's a good thing, I got this here Bible with me. It's my life source. I ain't gonna just sit round here and hope someone rescues me. I'm gonna make use of this time. I gots some prayin to do.
Gotta pray for my Grandson to keep a good head on his shoulders and stay away from the wrong crowd. For my son in law's healing and restoration from cancer. My daughter needs to sell out to Christ. There's a whole list of family and friends and their needs. And there's so many things in the world to pray about. And so many lost folk that need to be saved. I'm praying God, you grant me more days to reach the many lost that need to be saved. And to be a help to more people. Yep, there's a whole lot to keep me busy praying.
And I gotta lot to be thankful for too. Though my foot's numb and I can't really move much, this car sure got comfortable seats. Got my Bible here in my purse beside me and I ain't in that much pain. Must be God's grace. I know someone will find me soon. I'll just keep beeping my horn every now and then as I pray. Them roads were so slippery and wet, I just went right over the edge. I must've been driven to fast for all this rain. And how I survived that fall in my car, I don't know. Just let's me know I got Your angels all about me. My God, you are good. Hallelujah. Thank You Jesus. I reckon, I just sing, worship and pray, till someone find me or I enter Your presence. Yes, let me sing and get started with prayer. I done preached enough to myself.
I will enter your gates with thanksgiving in my heart.
I will enter your courts with praise. I will say this is the day,
that You Lord have made.
I will rejoice for you have made me glad.
You have made me glad,
oh you have made me glad.
I will rejoice for you have made me glad...

Lani Makana Leaf Earrings – Value $12
These silver leaf earrings are pretty – I love the detail of the jasper beads. These are nickel-free, too.
MIXT Reusable Wine Bag – Value $10
This handmade, reusable wine bag is an interesting concept! First of all, the prints they have of these bags are all adorable. But the main thing about this wine bag is that it comes with a little tag where you can list "to, from, event, and date" and it has 5 of those spots. The idea is that you fill out the first spot and give it to a friend, and then it travels and every time it's gifted the giver fills out the next spot. When all 5 spots are filled it tells a story and is also extra special if it makes its way back to you at the end!

Here's a close up of the tag on the reusable wine tag for you.
My cookies came a little smashed up but they were definitely still tasty!
Manna Kadar Fantasy 3-In-1 Blush Highlighter Eyeshadow – Value $19
This is a new product from Manna Kadar and was in so many different boxes this summer! This 3-in-1 blush highlighter eyeshadow is a "universal nude blush pink." The pigment is really nice and you can definitely get a solid opaque layer of color with this (especially if you use it wet), or use a light hand for less intense color.
The shimmer in this is great, too. If you're used to matte blushes this will probably be out of your comfort zone when used as a blush.
Lazy Shift Throw Blanket – Value $24.99
I was so excited to see a blanket in this box! Especially because it's fantastic. I love the blue and grey feather print and the blanket itself is super soft and very warm.
It's a nice size too, at 60" x 70" which is approximately queen sized. I've used this so much since I got this box. This is one of my favorite things from a subscription!
Verdict: I think this is a great box from SheroBox! I'm really happy with everything in it. I love that they focus on supporting and featuring women, too. The value comes out to $67.90 which I'm definitely happy with for a $35 box.
What do you think about SheroBox?

A friend of mine from the gym and I were discussing the antics and lengths some guys will go to so that other guys don't see their cock in the changeroom at the gym. It's hilarious to watch the contortion and gymnastics guys will do to pull underwear on and off under a towel.
My friend however loves the guys that will drop their towel to pull their underwear on but turn away from everyone as soon as they are uncovered. My mate up until his newish boyfriend has been very much a top and is a real butt lover so basically these shy boys are offering up on a platter exactly what he wants to see.

Most CIOs are not security experts, but in the board room they need to be. Thanks to the CSO, , they don't have to go it alone. Behind the scenes, they can help prepare the CIO, offering advice on how to interpret the company's threat levels, boiling down the most relevant information and communicating it, early and often, so the C-suite will pay attention.
"The challenges when you take on the CIO role or an executive role are that you don't think all about security," said Michael Hart, vice president and CIO of Petwell Partners, during a panel discussion at CIO Perspectives Houston last week. "You rely on the CISO."
The panelists, which included IT and security executives, discussed common assumptions about security risks, ways to get your business colleagues to take those risks seriously and best practices to use at your companies.
[Related: Why Your Company Needs Both a CIO and a CISO ]
When preparing for a board presentation or a meeting with C-level executives, the first thing a CIO should do is ask the CSO to bring the conversation about security down to the most basic level and put it into terms that everyone from the most junior employee to the CEO can understand. "You don't want to talk ISO speak. Learn to talk to the business," Hart said. "That's one of the challenges I have, to make sure all lines across the company are from the business perspective."
Next, to set expectations and shape the company's thinking, the CSO should provide context around today's risks and show how they are different from yesterday's challenges. Samuel Sutton, computer scientist at the FBI, Houston Cyber Squad, said the stakes are much higher in today's threat landscape. "It used to be about the single, lonely hacker just getting access," he said. "Now instead of getting access, it's 'how can I turn it into a dollar' -- that changes the ball game" he said.
Armed With Intelligence and Analysis
Another aspect of breaches today is that they are no longer being swept under the rug. "It used to be that the victims suffered this by themselves, isolated and alone," Sutton said. Today, thanks to intelligence, analysis and white papers, victims can educate themselves on how to handle a breach, he added.
[Related: Inside the Changing Role of the CISO ]
Sutton also cautioned CIOs to not rest easy. Instead, assume you will be attacked and focus on the prevention and response plan. "The reality is that there are two networks out there, those that are hacked and those that [you] don't know are hacked," Sutton said.
Executives will likely pay less attention to the fact that there are many prevalent threats and more attention to how those threats could affect their lines of business. To prepare the CIO for that part of the conversation, the CSO should outline the impact of a security breach on the business in terms of hard cost and soft cost. Sutton recommended using examples of soft cost to show how a breach will affect the stock price, the cost of freebies to win customers back or the lag time of hiring a new C-suite executive.
Keith Turpin, CISO of Universal Weather & Aviation, suggested also looking at other breaches and how they affected businesses, then showing how those situations could shake out at your company. "It's a risk analysis," he said. However, he cautions CIOs to not protect everything the same way. "You'll run a resource exhaustion game."
Make Security Palatable for Business Leaders
Outside of the boardroom, security updates for the C-suite and business leaders should be digestible so they can fit it into their busy schedules. Hart said creating a one-page report that takes five minutes to read is a way to get on the CEO's radar. "It's about building the relationship long-term," he said.
[Related: 5 CISO Skills Critical to Your Success in the Next 5 Years ]
Oberlaender agreed, "Address past, present and future -- and make a case for the CEO. Get on his radar with a weekly report and education." He also said it's important to create a program that C-suite executives can follow and include clear policies for employees to abide by. "Your company will have a breach sooner or later," he said. "So educate your executives that you can do something about it."
Lastly, it's critical to involve the legal department, which, Sutton says, can never happen too early. "Please get legal folks involved early on before your data is on fire," he said. "Help us, help you."

So you have finally begun considering your options regarding home defense, have you? Good for you. You know, one can never be too careful in these troubled times. I see you have already barred the windows and put new locks on all the doors. And that is a pretty nice alarm system you have there. I guess it is a good start. But as many know, those provisions will not always be enough in a true life or death situation. If you want true protection, a shotgun is probably your best bet. Go get one. I will wait.
Oh, hello. Welcome back. That is a pretty nice shotgun you have there. It should serve you well. Unfortunately you forgot that ammunition plays a big part in firearms used for home and personal defense. And since you want your shots to count, you will want to buy a high-quality product that you can trust your life to. No need to run out to the store, though. We here at Keepshooting.com have exactly what you need – Winchester PDX1 12-gauge ammo.
There are not too many shotgun shells available that are better suited for home and personal defense than Winchester PDX1 12-gauge shotgun shells. Each 10-shell package offers the innovative combination of three plated, double-aught (00) pellets and a 1oz rifled slug – all of which is packed into 2.75-inch 12-gauge shells that are specifically designed to stop immediate threats.
I can say with some certainty that shotgun ammunition does not get much better than this. If you are serious about home and personal defense, get serious about your ammunition. Get Winchester PDX1 12-gauge ammo – available now for just $13.55.
The Winchester Repeating Arms Company was founded by Oliver Winchester in 1866. Since the company's inception, it has been a leading designer of innovative arms ammunition, responsible for some of the world's most popular cartridges, including the .50 BMG and the .308 Winchester. Today, the highly-innovative Winchester PDX1 12-gauge shotgun shell is our primary focus.
Winchester PDX1 12-gauge ammo is a product from the Winchester Supreme Elite line. It is sold by the box, each of which contains ten shotshells. Winchester ammunition is manufactured in the United States by the Olin Corporation at the Winchester Centerfire Operations Facility in Oxford, Mississippi.
As noted, each box of Winchester PDX1 12-gauge ammunition contains 10 shotshells. These, however, are not just any shotshells. Featuring a distinctive black hull and a black oxide high-base head, each shell is packed with 3 pellets of Grex® buffered double-aught (00) plated buckshot. Underneath that you will find a 1oz rifled slug. The idea behind this personal defense load is that the Grex® buffering provides for tighter groupings, the buckshot provides for massive shock and compensation for aim error and the rifled slug provides for heavy penetration and stopping power. This combination gives you the edge you need in any life-threatening situation at an unbelievable muzzle velocity of 1,150 fps.
Ordinarily, I would ask you to try a box out while assuring your satisfaction. But as this is a home and personal defense load, I sincerely hope you never have to actually use it. But as Winchester is one of America's most reliable, trusted brands, you can rest easy knowing that your Winchester PDX1 12-gauge ammo will perform if called upon. Pick up a box today for only $13.55.

Do you remember the first vinyl record you ever bought? If you answered yes a few short years ago, you would have been "dating" yourself. But vinyl has experienced a huge resurgence in recent times, with major acts releasing new material in black-platter form, record collectors' clubs popping up like Bic lighters at a concert, and CDs seemingly going the way of the 8-track.
One such organization, the Vinyl Record Day Company — dedicated to preserving vinyl music, as well as its culture and art — has declared August 12 Vinyl Record Day, and we see no reason to argue. Instead, we encourage you to get to an LP emporium post haste, and, of course, to get there by DART.
One of your best bets is Bill's Records, which has been around since the early '80s and is considered a local institution. Whether you're looking for brand-new or vintage, obscure or mainstream, you'll be right at home in this temple of vinyl located near Cedars Station. 1317 S. Lamar St., Dallas
Though Top Ten Records is like a time-capsule circa 1963, this DARTable Gem has never lost its cool or its edge. A small but hand-selected collection of music and memorabilia ranges from rock'n'roll and oldies to hot-off-the-presses Tejano. The D-Link will drop you off at their front door. 338 W. Jefferson Blvd., Dallas
And Urban Outfitters is in on the renaissance, too, featuring a whole wall of glorious vinyl ranging from current hip-hop to classic rock. They even have several styles of turntable for sale. You'll find a location right at Mockingbird Station. 5331 E. Mockingbird Lane, Dallas

Betting on Ryan Howardposted by Unknown
I was reading an article on BaseballHQ.com about Post-Injury Best Bets by Dan Becker when I found myself growing annoyed. All the players on the list were listed under an injury that ended their season except one. Ryan Howard was listed as a longshot to cover from the injury with which he began the 2012 season. The torn Achilles kept him of out action until early July (rather than the late May that was estimated). But he did return. He broke his toe when he dropped a weight at the end but that should not hold him back much.
He was not great upon his return but after several months away a little rust could be expected. But Dan Becker thinks that Howard is not worth investing in for the 2013 season.
There were a number of red flags in regards to Howard's declining skills even before he tore his Achilles. Now he's just a bad investment. His slash numbers have wilted across the board since 2009 and he's helpless against LHP. The PX remains terrific so he's likely to remain a nice source of HRs, but at what cost to other categories? It wouldn't be shocking to see Howard enjoy a mild bounce back season, but the decline phase of big sluggers is too ugly to risk for such limited upside.
Sure, I know Howard is not the greatest player in the game. He certainly has his share of flaws. He does not have a very good contact rate. He is a slow and lumbering sort of player. He is not a good defensive player. But how much of that actually matters to Howard's fantasy value?
Over his career Howard has averaged a .271/.364/.551 slash with 33-plus homers in his nine major league seasons. In 2011, his last healthy season, he hit .253/.346/.488 with 33 homers and 116 RBI. Is it really so unreasonable that a healthy Howard could repeat that line? He has a reputation as a hard worker who will do what it takes to play the best first base possible and to take his spot in the lineup. He has basically performed like the slightly flawed slugger he is in every season of his career until he was hurt. He does not have any speed he needs to recover. All he really needs is healthy legs and he is good to go.
Excluding the 2012 season, Howard has been worth between $23 and $33 every season since 2007. If he looks healthy going into the season, anything less than $25 strikes me as good bet on Howard's rebound.

Capistrano de Abreu, in full João Capistrano de Abreu, (born October 23, 1853, Maranguape, Brazil—died August 13, 1927, Rio de Janeiro), Brazilian historian best known for his large-scale interpretive work on Brazil's colonial history.
After serving at the National Library of Rio de Janeiro (1875–83), Abreu became professor of history at the Colégio Dom Pedro II in 1883. Influenced by the sociology of Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer and the historical enterprises of Henry Buckle and Hippolyte Taine, Abreu wrote the Capítulos de História Colonial (1907; "Chapters of Colonial History"), his greatest work, as a broad study of Brazilian colonization from 1500 to 1800. His original emphasis on the culture of indigenous groups was an early and significant ethnological interpretation of the European settlement of Brazilian backlands. Abreu wrote additional works on linguistics, translated German and French documents on Brazilian history, and edited the writings of the eminent historian Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen.

Being an ally is not a destination. It's a process. Everyone fucks it up sometimes. I have made some spectacular fuckups myself, and that's with trying to be very, very careful and aware. There is no get-out-of-jail-free card; there is no Magical Incantation. If you catch yourself thinking that of course you're not like those men, stop and take a good hard look at yourself, because statistically speaking, chances are good that you might be patting yourself on the back and forgetting that you have to walk the walk as well as talking the talk.
If you consider yourself an ally, and you wind up doing or saying something that gets a really strong negative reaction, and you see one of your friends saying something along the lines of "it's okay, he's one of the good guys, it's not like that", that should be a warning sign that it's time to immediately apologize. A real apology, not an "I'm sorry if you were offended" — because that kind of language isn't an apology at all. You clearly did offend someone, or else the dogpile wouldn't have happened. "I'm sorry that I offended you, and I'd like to make sure I understand why, so it doesn't happen again; what I'm getting is that it was such-and-such, and I'm sorry I did that, and if that wasn't it, I'd like to listen to anything else you have to say…"
Good talk! I also believe that being an ally is a journey, not some place with a finish line for sure. Scared of those folks who think they have gotten to some finish line. Angry Black Woman also touches on a particular dynamic concerning allies, and fine tunes it even more with her post, Things You Need To Understand #9 - You Don't Get A Cookie. I quote:
When a person or group does something to address the biases and imbalances in our culture, whether it be on a grand scale, in their own sphere of influence, or in themselves, this is a good thing. But doing so isn't cause for celebration, congratulations, or a party. Why? Because it's basic human decency. And people shouldn't be over-praised for doing something they should have been doing in the first place. That leads to them doing the right thing for the wrong reasons — personal or professional accolades. i.e.: Cookies.Important reads! Been navigating the cookie minefield myself... Been super appreciating the love i have been getting for doing the Walk Against Rape, and for doing this blog, but been feeling antsy around whether it may be perceived that that is the driving impetus for my actions, or that it is expected. For the record, of course i appreciate the encouragement and love, and it does add to my inspiration to do this work, but it is not the primary force driving me to do this work. A sense of responsibilty, accountability, social justice, knowledge that i can do constructive things with my privilege, AND a burning, revolutionary love come from within and moves me forward.
Say Word!
Actually... you don't need to say anything.... :)


text: Your Natural hair may seem to grow faster but actually it is just simply healthier. When hair is uninterrupted from the scalp to the ends it has a continuous flow. Your scalp may have gone through chemical burns and irritations that can interrupt hair growth. Replacing chemical burns etc with hydration steam treatments is very beneficial to hair health/growth. Healthy hair tends to need less trimming. When your hair and scalp is healthy you can watch it grow down your back.

Carbon Nanotube Devices: Growth, Imaging, and Electronic Properties
Brintlinger, Todd Harold
Fuhrer, Michael S.
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation focuses on growth, fabrication, and electronic characterization of carbon nanotube (CNT) devices. A technique for imaging CNTs on insulating substrates with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) will be described. This technique relies on differential charging of the CNT relative to the surrounding insulator. In addition, it is not only quicker than using scanning probe microscopy (SPM), but is also useful for identifying conducting pathways within an assortment of CNTs and metallic contacts. CNT field effect transitors (FETs) fabricated on strontium titanate gate dielectric show transconductances normalized by channel width of 8900 S/m, greatly exceeding that in Si FETs. Intriguingly, the transconductance cannot be explained within the conventional FET or Schottky-barrier models. To explain this, it is proposed that there is Schottky-barrier lowering due to high electric fields at the nanotube/contact interface. Exploring novel CNT-FET lithography, I demonstrate focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) of pure gold for CNT device electrodes. In examination of the CNT/electrode interface, equivalence between FEBID leads and leads deposited using conventional electron beam lithography is found with the majority device resistance in the CNT. Lastly, CNTs are suspended across wide trenches (>100 microns). These trenches are formed without lithography or etching and have metallic leads on either side of the trench for electrical transport measurements. Using a mechanical probe as a mobile gate, electrical transport can be performed on these suspended CNT devices, which show minimal hysteresis consistent with the absence of charge trapping.

3d CAD modeling program in Excel of spur and helical gears. This program also works for modeling of worm pinion used in our worm gear programs.
Helical gears can be modeled in 3d CAD without special software as shown in this SolidWorks Example. However, real production gears and worms have specific geometries that cannot be easy modeled in CAD. This Excel program generates real production parts with root protuberance, lead and profile modifications.
The program generates the tooth surfaces based on the basic rack - the shape that is used to generate the gear. Traditionally, gear teeth are cut by a generating motion. Because of the generating motion the geometry of the cutting tool does not identically translate into the geometry of the finished tooth profile. If the edge of the cutter is a straight line the resulting tooth profile is involute. If the cutting edge of the generating tool is not a straight line the resulting tooth profile is not involute but some curve. This program can handle any geometry of the cutting edge.
This program takes 33 co-ordinates of the cutting tool edge spline, which can be any reasonable curve including a straight line. The most common input is a straight line with fillet radius on the edge of the cutting blade.
Any cutter geometry can be used for the input. The example below shows calculation of Wildhaber-Novikov gear tooth with localized tooth contact pattern.
Because of the mathematical advantage of our algorithm the program automatically provides correct geometry of the tooth root area. The program correctly calculates the root for a sharp corner of the cutting blade, for a round fillet on the edge and for any other spline that can be used as the cutter edge geometry.
Because the program calculates correct geometry of the root area the resulting CAD model of the gear tooth can be used for FEA. The program delivers the minimum radius of the curvature on the root with its radial position.

TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — An autumn snowstorm dusted higher elevations in California's Sierra Nevada with several inches of fresh powder.
Authorities required drivers to use tire chains on several roads in the Donner Summit area, where the wintry scene that started Sunday was replaced with sunny skies Monday afternoon.
National Weather Service meteorologist Travis Wilson says the last few showers of the storm died off by Monday afternoon. He says about an inch of snow accumulated in one area.
He says warm weather will return to the area starting Tuesday.

5 years ago I got a horrible baterial infection in my stomach while on vacation. I continued to have stomach pain from time to time, but was told by a Dr to include more fiber in my diet.

Innate Boulder Tile
Innate boulder tile is made from innate matters that are quarried slabbed ended in‐conjunction with cut to size. Ordinary kinds of boulder utilized as felling tile comprise marble limestone granite (including travertine) or slate. Among these kinds of innate boulder are thousands of diversity with features that depend on when also where the boulder was quarried.
Granite is a kind of igneous cliff that is hard as well as very dense. Its distinctive mien is due to spotted minerals discovered within the cliff its distinctive veining plus the thousands of obtainable colors. Granite is almost impervious with once it is shiny resists scuffing. It is an outstanding choice for grounding in high;–traffic areas together with kitchens.
Marble is a kind of metamorphic cliff that has wealthy veining in;–conjunction with is obtainable in a flair of colors. Marble is more permeable than granite as well as isn't suggested for kitchen storying unless sharpened plus then sealed on a systematic basis.

Innate Boulder Tile Veneer Finishes
The face of boulder tile perplexing typically has one of three kinds of finishes applied: innate sharpened or shined. The ending process of innate boulder begins once the boulder is quarried as well as cut into an uneven slab. The uneven slab face is shined with corrosive pads. Exceedingly coarse corrosive pads are utilized first then less wiry pads are utilized until the final polishing. The tiles are then slit to size by a boulder fabricator. The veneer finish you request will depend on where you intend to utilize the boulder tile plus the desired mien. Innate outsides are unfinished with have an earthy dull mien.

You may find it adorable when a dog's big and wet tongue begins lapping your face. As affectionate as it may be, such an action is actually harming you.
Of course, your pet isn't trying to hurt you. Your dog just doesn't know about the abundance of bacteria on its tongue.
It is a total myth that dog's tongues are cleaner than human tongues.
The author of "Chicken Soup for the Dog Owner's Soul", Marty Becker, puts it best by saying: "They raid the garbage can. You know, we give each other a peck on the cheek when we say hello, they give each other a peck on the rear end," said Becker. "All you got to do is look, watch, smell and you'll realize that that is not true."
A professor of virology and bacteriology at London's Queen Mary University, John Oxford, elaborates in hippocraticpost.com on just how much bacteria can be found a dog's mouth and muzzle:
"It is not just what is carried in saliva. Dogs spend half their life with their noses in nasty corners or hovering over dog droppings so their muzzles are full of bacteria, viruses and germs of all sorts."
Those germs and viruses may cause conditions harmful to the health of humans. One woman residing in the U.K. found that out the hard way.
As it turns out, the woman caught a disease from the saliva on her Italian greyhound's tongue. After her speech became slurred, she quickly became unresponsive, and was rushed to a hospital, where her health improved. However, four days later, her conditions expanded to headaches, confusion, high fever and diarrhea. Worse, her kidneys began to fail her body.
It took a couple of weeks for the woman to recover through plenty of antibiotics and intensive care. According to her blood tests, the infection was caused by capnocytophaga canimorsus bacteria, typically found in the mouths of cats and dogs.
But that's not the only disease you should be concerned about. There are also other bacteria or staph infections your four-legged friend can pass on through licking:
Please be warned, the following photos are not for the faint hearted!!
Staphylococcus Aureus:
This is a staph infection that affects all mammals including cats, dogs, and humans and can easily be transmitted from one species to another. It usually is transmitted through the air such as an infected person sneezing or coughing or the saliva in a dog's lick. It's a bacteria that can be easily transmitted causing skin infections such as boils. Most staph infections are not serious, this strain can cause pneumonia, bone and joint infections and infections in the bloodstream.
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a bacteria that can infect different body parts. It's harder to treat than other staph infections because it is resistant to many common antibiotics. In most cases, it causes a mild skin infection such as sores. More serious infections can occur through a wound, entering into the bloodstream, urinary tract or through the lungs that can be life threatening.
Capnocytophaga Canimorsus
It's transmitted through bites or saliva into cuts or other broken skin conditions. Infection is rare with most healthy people and in most cases, treatments with antibiotics will effectively clear up the situation. But also can cause serious health problems especially with those who have pre-existing conditions such as a weak immune system. This man also caught capnocytophaga canimorsus after his dog lick some open wounds on his hands.
Even though most licks from your best friend will not cause health problems, there is always a possibility, especially if you have other health issues. The safest route to go is not allowing your dog to lay a big, wet lick on your face!

The Kawasaki Chopper
Here's my latest chop build. It started life as a Kawasaki KZ 650 CSR. I used the wheels, front end, motor and frame cradle. Everything else I either made or modified to work. This is what it looked like before I tore it down for paint. It's getting metalflaked and candied and goldleafed and pinstriped. Hope to be done in time for the "CHOPMEET" in July. It's so damned hot the last couple weekends that I couldn't even stand to be in the garage, let alone paint. That's the Wife's Suzuki XR-7 in the background.

My first blog
Alll I was really trying to do was post on Chopperdaves blog. Then I found I could have my own damn blog. Don't know what I might do with it but I guess it's nice to have one here in the 21st century.
The picture to the left was taken of me by my good buddy Doug at the SEMA show last year. So I now know that I can upload pics from my PC to the blog....Cool!Now I'm uploading a video but I have no idea WHAT video it is. Guess I'll find out when it's done.

Join David Blatner for an in-depth discussion in this video Managing layer comps, part of InDesign: Working with Photoshop and Illustrator.
- In the last movie I showed how to turn layers on and off…inside your placed graphics, by choosing…Object, Layer, Options from the Object menu.…Now I closed that document without saving it,…so let's go ahead and place the same Photoshop file…in this new, untitled document.…I'll press command D or ctrl D on Windows,…choose my document, starts with the word layerman,…and then click open.…Now I'll drag this out onto my page.…All right, like I said, you can go to the Object menu,…choose Object Layer Options, and you can turn these layers…on and off, but the problem here…is that if you have more than just a few layers,…it becomes a real hassle to figure out…which ones to turn on or off.…
Fortunately, if you're placing Photoshop files,…you can take advantage of something called Layer Comps.…These are kind of like sets of multiple layers…that you can turn on and off at the same time,…but actually, Layer Comps let you do far more than that.…And if you haven't used Layer Comps before,…you're going to be amazed.…This is a very powerful feature in Photoshop,…
Here David Blatner, cohost of InDesign Secrets.com, goes over placing images from Illustrator and Photoshop, copying and pasting InDesign artwork, managing color and transparency, and dealing with linked images, vectors, layers, and more. By the end of the course, you should be able to move seamlessly between the three tools, getting the results you want and without losing formatting, sharpness, or quality.
- Placing Photoshop and Illustrator artwork in InDesign
- Copying InDesign artwork into Photoshop and Illustrator
- Sharing color swatches
- Managing transparency in linked artwork

Though most states in the United States require parents to place their children in car seats until they are 6 or 7 years old, Steven Levitt, an American economist says that some studies suggest that seat belts work just as well for children over the age of 2. Car seats are much more effective at preventing fatalities and injuries in kids younger than 2, but some studies suggest that there is virtually no difference in the frequency of fatalities or serious injuries in crashes with children older than 2 when comparing those wearing a lap and shoulder belt with those in a car seat — this in a recent TED talk. Other experts dispute this and strongly recommend that parents continue to use car seats for children up to 40 to 60 lbs (about 18 to 27 kg) or 4 to 7 years of age, as required by law in some places. Booster seats are required in some US states for children up to 60 to 80 lbs (about 27 to 36 kg).

Welcome to the jungle
By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
Dr. Erica Lipanovich loves exotic animals.
How much?
Let's put it this way: she uses her vacation time each year to help rare birds on Guam.
Lipanovich, who received her doctorate degree in Veterinary Medicine in 2004 from Mississippi State University, moved to Oregon with her husband in February. She is a veterinarian at Willamette Valley Animal Hospital (WVAH) at 4975 River Road North in Keizer, while also helping with the hospital's new clinic in Tualatin.
"My husband and I vacationed here in Oregon several years ago and knew this is where we wanted to be," said Lipanovich, who previously was the first full-time veterinary at Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Mo. for more than six years. "I was burned out, being a single practitioner at the zoo."
WVAH co-owners John Maddigan and wife Sheri Morris interviewed Lipanovich via Skype and made the hire.
"She's just amazing with her personal skills," Maddigan said. "She makes for a wonderful veterinarian."
It didn't hurt that Lipanovich had both the experience and pedigree.
After all, her dad, Charles Wilson, is the former director of the Memphis Zoo, often rated as one of the country's top zoos.
"Zoos are what I've known my whole life," she said. "It's what I know. They are a very comfortable setting. My dad instilled a good foundation in me of the purpose of a zoo. He helped make Memphis Zoo big. He got the pandas there. He did Cat Country, the children's area and a new entrance."
Lipanovich recalls her dad sometimes bringing animals from the zoo home if they were needed for an early morning TV interview.
"My mom is deathly afraid of snakes," Lipanovich said. "So the first area my dad sent me to was the reptile area, so that I wouldn't be afraid of them. One night he brought home a snake. He hid it in my closet and said, 'Don't tell mom.' But mom knew there was a snake. That night she said, 'I know there's a snake in this house, I just don't want to know where it is.'"
By the age of 14 Lipanovich knew she wanted to be a vet and was already working at an animal clinic. After veterinary school, Lipanovich worked in Phoenix for two years before spending six years at Dickerson Park Zoo.
In 2010, Lipanovich was asked to join the Mariana Avifauna Conservation (MAC) project, a Division of Fish and Wildlife program initiated in response to the threat of the Brown Tree snake in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Following World War II, the snake was accidentally introduced to Guam on U.S. military cargo.
"The snakes took out all of the native birds," Lipanovich said.
According a 2008 MAC report on the Bridled White-eye conservation project, there have been 76 credible sightings of the snakes on the island of Saipan, plus 10 sightings on Tinian and four on Rota.
"This introduced species was responsible for the extinction or extirpation of nine of 12 species of native forest birds on Guam within the last half-century, and is believed to be the single greatest threat to terrestrial ecosystems in the CNMI," the report stated.
It's been a hard-to-stop threat.
"It has proven difficult to get rid of the snakes," Lipanovich said. "One thing that's been tried is having mice loaded with acetaminophen. I'm not real sure how successful it's been."
Each year, Lipanovich and her group take a couple of endangered species of birds and bring them to other islands to help with breeding.
"The Division of Fish and Wildlife came up with nets to trap the whole species," she said. "We hold about 50 of them in cages, then they are taken to another island."
One species has been the Rufous Fantail bird.
"They are cute little buggers," Lipanovich said. "They have black feathers by their mouth, which look like mustaches gone wrong. They are quite adorable."
Lipanovich doesn't hide her passion for the program.
"It's a fantastic program," she said. "I'm so honored to be in it. It's been so successful, DFW has continued the project to 2032."
The success has been proven with one of the bird species.
"It started with 300 birds and went up to 3,000 birds in three years," Lipanovich said. "The populations are booming."
Since she is no longer with the zoo in Missouri, this year Lipanovich paid her own way for the trip and was gone for 17 days.
Until recently, Lipanovich was filling in for veterinary friend Mitch Finnegan, who was fired from the Oregon Zoo.
Finnegan got his job back in mid-July.
"I was over there on my two days off from here," she said. "I was there a couple of weeks, then I went on my trip. It was just like being at my old job."
Lipanovich, who splits her time between the WVAH clinic here and one in Tualatin, has also been helping the Wildcat Haven Sanctuary's move out of Sherwood. She anticipates her workload in Keizer changing soon.
"I haven't seen many exotic animals here yet," she said. "I suspect that will be changing. We still haven't advertised that I'm here. Mostly I see domestic animals now, but I'm hoping to get more exotics."
Maddigan said there will be more room for exotic animals with the addition of 1,450 square feet to the building, which will include an area in the back for such animals.
"It will be done by the end of August," he said. "It will give us more capacity to do surgeries."

Stuart Pawson's main character Inspector Charlie Priest is one of my favourite detectives. He's an art graduate who loves hill walking and one-liners and solving crimes. Pawson writing makes me feel like I'm in Yorkshire. Or back in Yorkshire...we visited in 2005 and loved it there. Pawson captures perfectly, I think, the feel of the Yorkshire countryside and the taciturn humour of the people.
|Me and a "friend" in Yorkshire July, 2005.
John Harvey's novels are set in Nottingham and feature his Polish detective Charlie Resnick. Like the other writers I've talked about here, Harvey creates complex characters that we care about. There is a new Resnick novel out this year that I have yet to read. Darkness, Darkness is, according to Harvey, his last detective novel. At 75 he thinks he will stop writing and do other things. I'm sad to see the end of the series but.... I can't really blame him.
As I was searching for info on John Harvey today I read that the BBC made some of Harvey's books into TV movies starring Tom Wilkinson as Resnick... way back in the 90's! How did I not know about this?
Ah well... with no more Resnick books in the offing, Hubby and I can now look forward to watching the BBC series. The combination of Harvey's writing and the acting of Tom Wilkinson is sure to be great.
It seems odd to be talking (and reading) about murder on such a lovely day. After waiting so long for spring ... and whining so much about it on this blog...you'd think that I'd be out there...soaking up the heat and the sunshine.
But I'm stuck in the house with my nose in a book. Just like when I was a kid. Yep.... it was ever thus. Right Mum?
Maybe in the fall I'll get back to reading more "literary" fiction. But for now.... I'm addicted to murder. And all the great writers out there who produce quality mystery novels.
What are you reading ?
Linking up this week with Thursday Blog Hop at Over 50, Feeling 40.

We have rules concerning avatar and signature sizes.
Avatars must be 100x100 or smaller.
Signatures must be 200px TALL at the most. (THIS INCLUDES BANNERS, WORDS, LINKS, WHATEVER -- THE TOTAL SIG. You can't have six banners each 200 high!)
For the non-technically minded, that's 2 inches by 2 inches or 2 inches high on a standard monitor. Hold a ruler up to the screen if you have to. (Note that on some laptops 200px may appear smaller). If you're really not sure, have a look around you at the size of other people's signatures. If theirs are all way smaller than yours, there's probably a reason!
If you have anything more than this, a Lex mod may send you a PM. If you receive a PM and do not change your signature/avie within a week, an admin will be forced to remove it and replace it with an ugly banner.
And please...remember to KEEP IT CLEAN! If you're not sure what that means, see here.

M-Plant to Mark 20th Anniversary with EP Series and Compilation
M-Plant, the label helmed by minimal techno pioneer Robert Hood, marks 20 years in the […]
M-Plant, the label helmed by minimal techno pioneer Robert Hood, marks 20 years in the business in 2014, and will release a series of EPs and a new compilation to celebrate. Throughout the year, Hood will release a number of records which focus on his older work, pairing some of his classic tunes with new remixes and re-edits. The EPs will then eventually be put together as a compilation that will appear later in the year.
As Resident Advisor reports, Hood has stated that he wants to "re-imagine" M-Plant (a label that has almost exclusively released the producer's own music under a number of different aliases). "The younger generation weren't even born when it started, so I want to bridge the gap between the old and new," Hood further explains. "I don't want to make just another compilation. I want to celebrate the journey both looking back and to the future."
Exact details on the EP series are still forthcoming, in the meantime, Hood's 2011 XLR8R podcast can be revisited here.

A birthday card and not a Kenny K image in sight *LOL!*
This was made for youngest son's birthday. He reached middle age today. He's now 35 *hehe*! I've used, for the very first time, one of my own background papers & toppers made from my own photograph .... see here. I've recently printed off a selection of my sheets and now know where I can improve them when I get round to doing more. Anyway, here's the card.
Cream, hammered, deckle edge card blank
Sepia car topper and backing paper - here
Gold mirri card (screw heads made using punched circles and embossed)
Craft Too General Greeting embossing folder for greeting
I've been 'decanting' unmounted stamps into CD & multimedia cases (DVD cases without the inserts) today. Takes up so much less room but it means - shock, horror - I've had to take them out of their packets! Mostly I've managed to get 2 stamp sets into a CD case and varying amounts of unmounted, on EaziMount, in the multimedia case depending on how big they are. Magnolias generally go 8 to a case. I'm labelling them as I go as well and with the multimedia I've made a template (just adapted one of my insert templates) and I'm dragging piccies of the stamps onto it, captioning them with their individual name, putting a title on the spine, printing off and inserting it just as if it were a DVD inside. Only problem is, I'm now surrounded by the smell of acrylic stamps! Why do they have to smell so much? I've also got sore fingers from releasing the ones that stick like stuff to a blanket to the acetate that they're mounted on in their packs! Not finished yet as loads more to do - the odd ones that aren't in sets, or at least, not large sets.
