Well, that was a fun lesson that I submitted a while ago on KND. It's now time to submit a tutorial that is going to be good fun for everyone that wants to learn "how to draw a sunrise", step by step. I am so proud of this drawing because it came out looking so clean, and beautiful. It reminds me of one of those vectorized images that is so bright and cheery. This would make a great background drawing for a forest animal setting, a setting for two lovers lying on the grass, and it would even make a great setting for a couple of children at play. The great thing about drawing this sunrise, is the incredible simplicity of how easy it's going to be for you guys to replicate. All the steps and instructions will show you in full detail, what to do first, and what to do next, until you come to the last stage of the tutorial. When you are done, you will see for yourself that a sunrise, is a lot easier to create when you have a proper lesson to help aid you in drawing one. One of the best sunrises is the kind you see from afar when the brand new morning dew is cold, and the breeze is semi warm when it hits your face as soon as you walk outside your door. The tutorial didn't take me long at all to draw, which means you too will have no troubles either when it comes to learning "how to draw a sunrise". Out of all the tutorials I have submitted on the site thus far, this is going to be added to my favorite tutorials list as soon as I get a chance to do so. Anyway, I think you will have fun with this lesson, and if you don't, just move to something else that catches your eye. One thing is certain though, even if you don't have fun drawing a sunrise, at least you will have learned how to make such an important part of our day. I'm gonna break outta here now so I can work on writing out more tutorials for all o enjoy. I will be back soon, and I will also be doing another Live Stream later today around 8pm est. Peace out to all my drawing peeps out there on Dragoart.com.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Prairie Home Companion on 88.9 WFSU-FM
Saturdays, 6pm - 8pm
If you showed up on July 6, 1974, at the Janet Wallace Auditorium at Macalester College in Saint Paul and plunked down your $1 admission (50 cents for kids) to attend the very first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, you were in select company. There were about 12 people in the audience. But those in attendance thought there were worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon, so Garrison Keillor and the APHC team went on to produce close to 500 live shows in the first 10 years alone. There were broadcasts from this venue and that, until March 4, 1978, when the show moved to The World Theater, a lovely, crumbling building that was one plaster crack away from the wrecking ball. (Now fully renovated and renamed The Fitzgerald, it is the show's home base.)
In June of 1987, APHC ended for a while. Garrison thought it was a good idea at the time, but only two years later, the show was back, based in New York and called American Radio Company of the Air. But there's no place like home. So in 1992, it was back to Minnesota and, soon after, back to the old name: A Prairie Home Companion.
There has been plenty of adventure in the past 30-plus years — broadcasts from Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Iceland and almost every one of the 50 states; wonderful performers, little-known and world-renowned; standing ovations and stares of bewilderment. We've missed planes, coped with lost luggage, dodged swooping bats and hungry mosquitoes, plodded through blizzards, and flown by the seat of our pants.
Today, A Prairie Home Companion is heard by 4 million listeners each week on more than 600 public radio stations, and abroad on America One and the Armed Forces Networks in Europe and the Far East. Garrison recalls, "When the show started, it was something funny to do with my friends, and then it became an achievement that I hoped would be successful, and now it's a good way of life."
A Prairie Home Companion is produced by Prairie Home Productions, and distributed nationwide by American Public Media. The program is underwritten by Allianz and Ford.

Jen Hilborne, "Madness and Murder" Author, Visits with Mike Angley
MA: Today I'm joined by Madness and Murder author, Jen Hilborne. Jen was born in England, and currently lives in Southern California. As a dual citizen, she spends a good deal of time traveling back and forth between the two. Those long rides in coach have given her the perfect opportunity to develop many ideas for her stories. Jen began writing her first novel in 2007, an idea originally stemming from the competitive real estate world, and the industry she's worked in for many years.
Real estate work must be a cut-throat industry if it has inspired you to write murder mysteries. How did you make the jump between the two?
JH: Once I get started in a story, I can't seem to stop. I can't get it all down in a short story or a novella. I blame it on my verbal diarrhea.
MA: So, tell us about Madness and Murder and No Alibi.
JH: Madness and Murder, my first book, is set in San Francisco and features homicide Detective, Mac Jackson, who is on a collision course with a civilian as he hunts a cunning killer. Jackson questions his own ethics when he risks an innocent life to catch his killer.
No Alibi, also set in San Francisco, is a tangled tale of deceit, murder and betrayal.
The two murder mysteries are not linked. My third novel, not yet released, is the second in the Jackson series.
MA: Do you craft your protagonists after real people you know?
JH: I base all my main characters on real life people with notable, interesting personalities, then fictionalize to make them my own. They are tenacious and willing to risk their own lives to stop the bad things in their world. They don't always know the right way to handle danger and can often get in the way. I root for the underdog in my stories – no one person is better than anyone else and my hero/heroine is a reminder of this.
MA: And the antagonists? Perhaps a fellow traveler who snored too loudly on one of those long transatlantic flights?
JH: The bad guy is always based on a real life person, someone from my past or the past of someone close to me. It's therapeutic to see them get their comeuppance.
MA: (Chuckling). Well, I hope not to offend you in any way! I take it, then, that with real people inspiring your character development, that you've allowed real life experiences to infiltrate your plots?
JH: Absolutely, which makes the stories so much more authentic.
MA: What's next?
JH: My third mystery novel is complete and I am working on the fourth. For a change, I moved out of San Francisco for my fourth novel and set it in England, my homeland. I plan to write more Jackson stories as many readers asked for his return after reading Madness and Murder.
MA: Will you bring any characters from the first few books back to life in future works?
JH: Other than Jackson, I haven't decided on which characters to bring back. I listen to feedback from my readers, which helps in the decision, but I also often don't know what I'll write until I sit down to do it.
MA: Thanks, Jen! Folks, read more about Jen Hilborne and her books at her websites: http://JFHilborne.com and http://jfhilborne.wordpress.com Read More

Hello Everyone!
Marlene here from ScrappinCookie to wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I want to start off by sending everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy in the East Coast my Thoughts and Best Wishes. I hope everyone is safe and doing well. My Family and I are doing well, we only had some really strong winds and rainfall although being only 100 miles from where Hurricane Sandy made landfall.
I'm here to share with you all my LAST Halloween Shaped Card - BREWING UP SOME FUN!
The Cauldron was cut from the Cricut Create A Critter2 Cartridge at 5.5". Its actually the reason why I purchased the cartridge. As soon as I saw the cauldron I knew it would be perfect for the "Brewing up some fun" Sentiment from the My Craft Spot "Ghostly Greetings" Stamp Set.
I added some of My Craft Spot's "Candied Orange" Crinkle Ribbon around the cauldron and tied a double-loop bow. Before adding the senitment strip, I added some "Lilac" Trendy Twine - available HERE at My Craft Spot - and a mulberry rose dyed black.
To the inside of the cauldron, I stamped the "Spooky Little Greeting..." Sentiment from the My Craft Spot "Best Witches" Stamp Set.
I hope you have enjoyed my last Halloween project for 2012.
If you haven't already joined us for this week's TOO CUTE TO SPOOK challenge, there's still time!! You have until Monday, November 12th 11:59PM MST to enter for your chance to win this week's prize!

Caltrans History
The Bureau of Highways was created with the appointment of the Lake Tahoe Wagon Road Commissioner and the Bureau of Highways Commissioners. The bureau studied highway needs and made recommendations for a 4,500-mile state highway system.
California's Department of Highways was created and operated until 1907 when the state Department of Engineering was created. The state legislature made its first appropriation for certain state roads.
The State Department of Engineering was created. The Department of Highways and Lake Tahoe Wagon Road Commission were placed under the control of the department.
California's legislature passed the state's first state highway bond. In 1910, voters approved the State Highways Act of 1909. It provided $18 million for construction and acquisition of a state highways system.
The three-member California Highway Commission was created to oversee highway maintenance and construction. Legislation also provided for a state highway engineer, appointed by the governor to serve as the commission's executive officer.
The first state highway construction contract was awarded and signed, with work beginning the same year. Awarding this contract marked the beginning of construction on the Highway 1, El Camino Real, Pacific Coast route.
The first state gas tax was created to fund the expansion of the state highway system. Initially, the tax was set at 2 cents a gallon. Accompanying legislation also created the "Motor Vehicle Fuel Fund," with some of the money going directly to counties and other funds being deposited into the "State Highway Maintenance Fund" for maintenance, repair, widening, resurfacing, and reconstruction of state highways and roads and highways in state parks.
The state sign route numbering system was adopted.
The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge opened to traffic. The bridge represented a remarkable engineering and political achievement.
State Route 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, was completed and served as an important tourist and commercial corridor. This is was California's first complete north-south highway.
The Arroyo-Seco Parkway, California's first freeway, was dedicated on December 30, 1940. This project marked the beginning of the freeway era in the Golden State.
The Collier-Burns Act was passed and provided $76 million annually for new highway construction. Gas and diesel taxes were raised by 1-1/2 cents a gallon and driver license and registration fees were increased. The Division of Highways was reorganized to deal with the greater volume of work the act generated.
California's gas tax was increased to 6 cents a gallon to fund highway improvements.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. Under the act, the federal government supplied 90 percent of funding for interstate highways, with the state paying the remaining 10 percent.
The Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley served as impetus to build Interstate 80. Interstate 80 became the first all-weather, trans-Sierra Nevada highway and was nationally recognized as a major engineering achievement.
California established the Highway Transportation Agency that consisted of the Department of Public Works (which included the Division of Highways), Department of Motor Vehicles, and the California Highway Patrol.
The Collier-Unruh Act was passed and authorized the first rapid transit funding. The bill allowed counties to increase the in-lieu tax by one-half cent to develop rapid transit systems. The legislature also increased the gasoline tax to 7 cents a gallon.
Governor Edmund G. Brown on May 14, signed Senate Bill 64 into law. The bill provided for renumbering the state highway system, effective July 1, 1964.
The Highway Transportation Agency was renamed the Transportation Agency.
The Business and Transportation Agency was formed from the departments and boards of Aeronautics, Highway Patrol, Corporations, Housing and Community Development, Insurance Motor Vehicles, Public Works (which included the Division of Highways), Real Estate, Savings and Loan, and State Banking.
On April 20, the first high-occupancy vehicle lane opened. It was a one-half mile, peak-period, westbound bus lane through the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge toll plaza
California's first traffic management center in was established in Los Angeles. The 42-mile surveillance loop included the Santa Monica, San Diego, and Harbor freeways. This was a significant milestone in developing a fully-automated traffic management system and included elements such as underground loop detectors and ramp metering. The passage of the Transportation Development Act extended the state's retail sales tax to include gasoline, and provided for a portion of that revenue to be returned to local governments for transportation. This provided a significant new source of revenue for local transportation facilities, in particular, for transit.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) was formed to unify all transportation functions under a single department.
The California Transportation Commission replaced the California Highway Commission, State Transportation Board, Aeronautics Board and California Toll Bridge Authority, for the purpose of advising and assisting the governor and legislature in formulating and evaluating state policies and plans for transportation programs.
The Business and Transportation Agency was renamed the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency to better convey its broader mission.
California's gas tax increased to 9 cents a gallon, the first increase since 1963.
Caltrans established its 12th and final district. The new district was in Orange County.
The massive Loma Prieta Earthquake occurred on October 17, raising awareness for the need to strengthen and retrofit state highway bridges. After the earthquake, emergency transportation was greatly impacted in the Bay Area; however, Caltrans reopened the Bay Bridge in an amazing 30 days.
The state gas tax increased to 14 cents a gallon with a yearly increase of 1 cent a year for four more years. A State Master Plan for Transportation was adopted, with a focus on reducing traffic congestion and an emphasis on expanding bus, rail and other public transit systems instead of adding more freeways.
The state's gas tax reached 18 cents a gallon. After the January 17 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles, Caltrans reconstructed Interstate 5/State Route 14, the Gavan Canyon Bridge, and the Santa Monica Freeway Interstate 10 in record time.
The passage of Senate Bill 45 substantially changed the process by which state and federal transportation funds are allocated, placing most of the responsibility for planning and prioritizing project funding in the hands of local and regional agencies rather than the state. To improve efficiency and reduce congestion, the Carquinez Bridge's first dedicated electronic toll collection lane opened in August.
Amber Alert's first notification occurred on August 1, when two teenage girls were abducted near Lancaster. Caltrans District 9 equipment operator Milton Walters spotted the abductor's white Bronco, scratched the license number in the dirt and on his lunchbox and contacted the California Highway Patrol.Tweets by @AMBERAlert
Voters approved the Transportation Congestion Improvement Act, also known as Proposition 42, to protect transportation funds. The act limited using transportation funds for nontransportation-related needs.
Caltrans developed the Goods Movement Action Plan, which offered solutions to improve goods flow, while reducing environmental impacts related to good movements. The Department also distributed $5 million in federal funds as grants to metropolitan planning organizations to produce regional blueprint planning documents designed to improve environmental quality.
Voters approved Propositions 1A and 1B. Proposition 1A permanently protected Proposition 42 transportation funds and required previously diverted funds to be repaid. Proposition 1B authorized the sale of $19.9 billion in bonds for a broad range of transportation projects.
The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge self-anchored suspension span contract was awarded in April, which was the largest public infrastructure contract in California's history.
Caltrans seismically retrofitted 99.5 percent of all state-owned bridges, making them stronger and safer if a major earthquake occurs.
Caltrans, working with its partners in the private sector and government, oversaw the reconstruction of the Interstate 880 and Interstate 580 approaches to the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge in a record 26 days following a devastating accident that compromised the structure.
The Devil's Slide project began construction on State Route 1 in San Mateo County in September. Caltrans designed the project to bypass the dangerous and maintenance-intense Devil's Slide that was frequently closed because of storm damage. When complete, the project will consist of two parallel 4,200-foot-long tunnels and a two 1,000-foot-long bridges.
In October, Caltrans quickly responded to a fiery tunnel crash on Interstate 5 near Santa Clarita that killed three people and involved 31 vehicles. Caltrans cleared the tunnel and reopened the route in a remarkable three days.
Caltrans, for the first time in history, oversaw $10 billion of construction on the State highway system.
Caltrans completed the traffic-interfering work associated with rehabilitating the "boat section," a 3/4-mile stretch of Interstate 5 in Downtown Sacramento. The work was completed in a record 38 working days, rather than the projected two years, with minimal inconvenience to the public.
California received $3.64 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Economic Stimulus Package) for transportation and was the first state to obligate $1.5 billion to projects. These projects include a $1 billion lane widening on Interstate 405, a $13.5 million project to resurface and repair a 50-year-old section of Interstate 80 in the Bay Area and $1 billion to replace sections of Doyle Drive in San Francisco.
Caltrans debuted "QuickMap", an online app that provides real-time traffic and travel information to state highway motorists. No single source previously existed for integrated information focused on highway travel.
QuickMap is seamless, statewide, and users choose the information displayed, such as California Highway Patrol incidents and color-coded traffic speed. As of 2016, the QuickMap app is also available for mobile devices, however Caltrans cautions users to be safe, check the roads before you go, and never use the app while driving.
Get Real-Time Online Traffic Information with Caltrans' QuickMap App
The app is available by searching "Caltrans" in Apple's "App Store" and in Android's "Google Play Store."
It is also available online at Caltrans' QuickMap page.
The Tom Lantos Tunnels at Devil's Slide on State Route 1 in San Mateo County opened to morning traffic on March 26. The new tunnels were Caltrans' first completed tunnel project in nearly 50 years and fix a coastal route notorious for rockslide closures and provide a safe, dependable highway between Pacifica and Montara.
A government reorganization plan replaced the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency with a new California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) focused solely on transportation. CalSTA's mission is to develop and coordinate the policies and programs of the state's transportation entities, to achieve the state's transportation system objectives for mobility, safety and air quality.
On September 2, the new East Span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened to traffic. The opening of the new seismically safe span is more than just an upgrade of one of the country's busiest bridges – it is an epic transformation of the bridge into a global icon.
After three years of construction, the Caldecott Tunnel Fourth Bore tunnel between Alameda and Contra Costa counties opened to traffic on November 16. When funding was awarded in 2009, the Fourth Bore Project was the largest stimulus-funded transportation project in the country.
Caltrans released its new 2015-2020 Strategic Management Plan, which maps out how the Department will increase performance, efficiency, and innovation as it increasingly considers sustainability and all modes of transportation. As part of the new multimodal focus, Caltrans revised its mission, which is to "provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California's economy and livability."
The Department is also setting performance measures to track its progress in achieving its updated goals of Safety and Health; Stewardship and Efficiency; Sustainability, Livability and Economy; System Performance and Organizational Excellence.
On April 28, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed Senate Bill 1, closing a funding gap for the basic maintenance and upkeep of the state's transportation infrastructure with an investment of approximately $5.2 billion per year. This stable source of revenue will fund "Fix it First" deferred maintenance projects on state highways, while providing funding to enhance trade corridors, transit, and active transportation facilities, in addition to repairing local streets and roads throughout California.

February 20, 2013 By LEVI PASCHER, The Leader Herald
JOHNSTOWN – The Regional Animal Shelter organization is attempting to reach its goal of raising $250,000 to build a larger shelter in the town while it continues to operate a small facility for animals in Gloversville. Upcoming fundraisers for the group include a comedy night Thursday and a bowling event next month.
The animal shelter group has been seeking grants in support of its mission to reduce the local stray-animal population, and it has been participating in spay and neuter programs and promoting education, training and public awareness.
"Things are going wonderfully," board member Renee Earl said. "In the short time we have been open [in Gloversville], which was the middle of May last year, we have managed to get pretty much all of the dogs adopted or re-united with their families. That right there speaks toward the success."
The shelter has eight kennels for dogs with an outdoor enclosed space that is fenced in and includes a storage shed. The 16-by-36-foot building had been vacant and unused for years on city property south of the Transit Building off West Fulton Street. In an arrangement with the city, the Regional Animal Shelter group finished the shelter and runs it for the city.
The shelter was able to get started because former city Councilwoman Cynthia Morey secured a $20,000 anonymous donation in 2007 to start the project, which at first was intended to be used by the city animal control officer. The city built the structure with the donation and about $10,000 worth of labor provided by the Department of Public Works. The city and the shelter group have a four-year lease agreement under which the group leases kennel space to the city for $1 per year and the city rent the building to the group for $1 per year.
The shelter operates daily with the help of 12 regular volunteers. It pays about $1,000 per month to feed, shelter and meet the needs of the animals at the shelter, Earl said. That doesn't include veterinary services. The shelter group continues to raise money for its future shelter on 26 acres it owns on Maple Avenue in Johnstown.
Earl would not say how much the shelter group has raised toward its $250,000 goal, but she said it has continued to make steady progress since the effort began in 2002. Last year, the Gloversville Common Council set the fee to recover a lost dog at $10 for the first incident, $20 for the second and $30 for the third. The money from the fee goes toward feeding and caring for the dog while it is at the shelter. Previously, the city paid fees to house each stray dog at a contracted veterinarian's office.
Now, shelter volunteers look after dogs as long as they aren't sick or dangerous. The shelter does not yet have the capacity to house cats, but Earl said when the larger shelter is built, it will include a cat area.
"We are going to have an entire area for cats, but right now we just don't have the room," Earl said. However, she said the shelter will help find homes for cats with courtesy postings on Facebook and Petfinder. The new facility will allow the shelter to serve Fulton, Hamilton and Montgomery counties, Earl said.
The Regional Animal Shelter has partnered with Camp Bow Wow to conduct the Bow Wow Comedy Night on Thursday at the Comedy Works, 500 Northern Blvd., Albany. The event will feature stand-up comedian Kevin Downey Jr., prize raffles, a silent auction and a 50/50 drawing. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the show will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $30 per person, and $20 from each ticket will support the shelter organization of the purchaser's choice.
Thursday's event is expected to raise $5,000 in total, but the amount each shelter and rescue organization raises will be based on ticket sales.
The local shelter became involved with the comedy event after the Camp Bow Wow organizer Samuel Dearth met Earl at the Bow Wow Buddies Run/Walk in October. The two decided a comedy event would be a terrific fundraiser for Regional Animal Shelter to get involved in, Dearth said.
"Funding is critical to cover medical bills, transportation expenses, supplies, and food for rescued animals," Dearth said. "An equally daunting challenge is the lack of manpower and experience to host fun and engaging fundraising events. The comedy series is designed to supplement fundraising efforts for Capital Region animal shelters and rescue groups."
The shelter will continue its fundraising efforts with a Strikes for Strays bowling event March 10 from noon to 3 p.m. at Arterial Lanes. The cost of $15 per person will include three games and shoe rental.
On March 16, the shelter will participate in the Sacandaga Sun Holistic and Animal Wellness Expo at the River Front Center in Amsterdam from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Anyone interested in volunteering can visit the Regional Animal Shelter's Facebook page or its website, at www.regionalanimalshelter.org. Levi Pascher can be reached by email at email@example.com.

Due to popular demand, an additional matinee performance of ANTHEMS: The Concert has been announced. KERRY ELLIS and BRIAN MAY will now perform live at the Royal Albert Hall, London on Sunday May 1, 2011 at 4.00pm and 8.00pm for the benefit of Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.
Queen legend Brian May and West End and Broadway singing sensation Kerry Ellis are to perform the live version of their hit album, ANTHEMS, in two special Royal Albert Hall concerts next Spring on the May Bank Holiday Sunday after the Royal Wedding.
ANTHEMS: The Concert, scheduled for Sunday May 1, 2011, will present BRIAN MAY and KERRY ELLIS in concert accompanied by the City of London Philharmonic, The Anthems Ensemble, The West End Chorus and Dancers making this a truly spectacular one-off event.
The Queen guitarist and composer Brian May will perform new arrangements of a selection of the favourite songs he has specially chosen to be performed by Kerry. He will accompany her on guitar and vocals.
ANTHEMS: The Concert follows a series of acclaimed performances together: Kerry and Brian stole the show when they performed together at the Royal Variety Show in 2008, they performed live together again at the BBC Proms in the Park and at this year's The Night of 1000 Voices, and most recently opened the Remembrance Day concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
Brian May says: "From the moment I first heard Kerry sing, I was entranced, and felt the conviction that I would one day make an album with her. The conviction never left me. The hard thing was to find the right medium to harness that amazing voice - the material and arrangements had to be worthy, and a musical style evolved to capture her unique magic. ANTHEMS: The Concert will show what we've created together, a style that defines a new form of music - a kind of Anthemic-Orchestral-Rock-Musical-Theatre Fusion."
Broadway and London leading man ADAM PASCAL will support Brian and Kerry in a programme which will also include songs from RENT, WICKED, CHESS, HAIRSPRAY, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW and the Elton John / Tim Rice Broadway musical, AIDA.
ANTHEMS: The Concert will be produced and directed by Hugh Wooldridge who has presented THE NIGHT OF 1000 VOICES at the Royal Albert Hall on the May Bank Holiday Sundays over the past eleven years (with the exception of 2008 when he presented with Tim Rice the phenomenally successful CHESS IN CONCERT).
Wooldridge says 'It's a great pleasure to work with these huge talents whilst raising funds for a truly deserving charity'.
Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is the UK's leading blood cancers charity. It is dedicated to saving lives through research into better treatments and cures for leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. The charity receives no government funding and relies entirely on people coming together to fundraise.
Cathy Gilman, Chief Executive, says: "Since 1960, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research has invested in world-class research and survival rates have increased dramatically for patients with leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
"However, there's still a long way to go and money raised from ANTHEMS: The Concert will help us get closer to a cure. After the success of their performance at THE NIGHT OF 1000 VOICES in 2010, we are delighted that Kerry and Brian supported by Adam are reuniting to raise much-needed funds on our behalf."

Canada came to rue missed opportunities in the first half as it fell 2-1 to Norway in the second group match of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Japan 2012. Canada stopped a penalty kick and scored a late first-half goal, but then conceded twice in the second half in Kobe, Japan.
A victory would have put Canada through to the second round, but the loss means it will have to fight again on Monday for a second chance at clinching one of two Group C spots in the quarter-final phase. Jenna Richardson scored for Canada in the 44th minute before Norway's Caroline Hansen turned provider for a pair of goals by the Hegerberg sisters in the 52nd (Ada) and 79th (Andrine) minutes.
Canada created numerous chances in the first half, but couldn't quite hit the target as they either went wide or into the arms of Norwegian goalkeeper Nora Gjoen. Both Adriana Leon and Christabel Oduro created opportunities in first 10 minutes, but the Leon pass put Richardson perhaps just a touch too tight down the left side while the Oduro cross just could not be converted by Richardson in the box.
Nearly midway through the first half, Norway thought it had its chance after referee Qin Liang called a penalty on Canada. Ada Hegerberg took the kick, but her shot to the left was stopped by Canadian goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo.
Moments later, Canada was back on the attack as Leon hit a shot just wide. After the half hour mark, there were more chances to come: first, Oduro came down the right and helped Canada get a shot; a few minutes later, Richardson was in alone but got one touch too many on her way in on goal.
Finally in the 44th minute, Richardson got the goal she so desired. Leon sent her in alone and Richardson made no mistake with the opportunity to make it 1-0 for the Canadians.
In the second half, the game opened up and Norway got the equaliser in the 52nd minute. Hansen beat a pair of defenders inside the box before she slipped the ball through D'Angelo's legs down the touchline. The younger Hegerberg Ada touched the ball over the line.
Hansen had another good chance 10 minutes later as she beat the Canadian defence to enter the penalty area, but her shot in the 62nd minute was stopped by D'Angelo. Fifteen minutes later, she played a pass across the top of the box for Andrine Hegerberg who then blasted a shot past D'Angelo for a 2-1 Norway lead.
Canada tried but failed to mount a comeback. Perhaps there was hope when Oduro blasted a shot from just outside the box in the 87th minute, but the shot went wide and the score remained unchanged.

Yup, there is all sorts of animals that can be conjured up and drawn if you really put your head together. Today I have a special lesson because it was requested by a few members as well as my sister. You will be getting a tutorial on "how to draw a crow for kids", step by step. It's weird because after I drew this bird yesterday, all I kept seeing everywhere was crows. They were in the streets, in the trees on the highways and byways as well as being in the sky scavenging throughout the night and day. This is a very simple bird to draw and if you're looking for a simple tutorial, this is probably going to fall right there with the top fifty. Have fun drawing a crow for kids guys and if you want a lesson on a regular raven or crow, just check out the birds section under the 'Animals' category. Have fun and remember to keep on drawing because creativity is great for the mind. Peace out and enjoy the drawing day!

Rockies Extra: Inside Carlos Gonzalez's record-tying home run
Here are some late-night tidbits from the Rockies' 11-5 victory over the Astros Thursday night — a game in which Carlos Gonzalez hit a three-run homer in the first inning, tying a major-league record with a home run in four consecutive at-bats. (He hit three against the Astros on Wednesday).
Quote of the night: When I asked Jim Tracy if he was aware that CarGo had a chance to re-write history with a fifth consecutive homer, Tracy said: "I didn't know where he stood in relationship to major-league history, but I can promise you I wasn't go to give him the take sign if he went to 3-0."
History lessons: CarGo' homer, his 14th, made him the first player since the Cardinals' Albert Pujols (April 16-17, 2006) to hit a home run in four straight plate appearances. It was just the 22nd time in major-league history that a player accomplished that feat. It marked the 38th time in history a player homered in four consecutive at-bats.
"I'm a guy that doesn't really play for records. They just happen," Gonzalez said. "I'm really happy to be part of a record, but mostly I'm just trying to help my team, and trying to make my swings when the ball is around the strike zone."
Paging Lar-ee, Walk-er: After drawing an intentional walk in the second inning, CarGo doubled and stole third in the fourth inning. That gave him five-straight at-bats with an extra-base hit, falling one shy of the National League record held by former Rockies outfielder Larry Walker. Walker had extra-base hits in six consecutive at-bats on May 21-22, 1996.
CarGo Delivers: Over his last five games, Gonzalez is 13-for-20 (.650) with six home runs, three doubles, 10 RBIs and seven runs scored.
Guthrie just good enough: Starter Jeremy Guthrie set two high-water marks Thursday night — one good and one bad. His seven innings of work tied a season high by a Rockies starter this season. However, the 12 hits he allowed were the most by a Colorado pitcher this season, and tied his career high.
"A very competitive outing," is how Tracy termed Guthrie's performance.
Guthrie, who won for the first time at Coors Field despite giving up five runs, was less generous in evaluating his own performance.
"I guess I gave up five runs at home tonight instead of six for the first time, so I guess we are taking it one-run step at a time," he said, tongue firmly planted in his cheek. "I have an ERA below nine now at home (8.88), so that's nice. I guess nine is the new three, so I feel great about it."
Cuddy stays hot: Michael Cuddyer hit his 17th double of the season and finished the day 3-for-4 with a walk and three RBIs.
On-base machine: Dexter Fowler, back in the leadoff spot, reached base safely three times on two walks and a single. He scored twice, marking the third straight game's scored multiple runs. He also has a five-game hitting streak, during which time he's reached base 14 times in 21 plate appearances.
Apodaca's absence: It was bullpen coach Jim Wright, not pitching coach Bob Apodaca conferring with pitchers on the Coors Field mound Thursday. No, Apodaca was not fired. He was away from the team to attend to personal matters.

EEOC Axed Whistleblower
Jones was employed with the EEOC for nine years witnessing mainly African Americans' EEOC discrimination complaints being labeled, "Unfounded,†and many not investigated at all. Jones contacted the Black Star News hoping to shed some light on a federal agency that is funded millions of dollars due to the numerous Civil Rights' complaints by African Americans because of the unlawful and illegal treatment in the work place, which is the reason the EEOC laws were put in place. It is ironic the EEOC is being accused of the very laws it is supposed to enforce. Now where does Jones go to file his own employment discrimination complaint against the EEOC?
[On The Spot]
Investigator Ricardo Jones was employed with the New York City Branch Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) when he contacted The Black Star News to tell anyone who would listen about "The EEOC is not investigating African-American complaints from New York to North Carolina."
Having Knowledge of what happens to whistleblowers I contacted the Department of Justice (DOJ). In my September 5th article I stated the EEOC would fire Jones as well.
When I contacted the EEOC for comment, District Director Spencer H. Lewis would not respond to the allegations made by Investigator Jones. "I cannot deny or confirm anything about an employee at the EEOC," Lewis stated. However, two days before Thanksgiving Day, in a gutless and tasteless act, Jones was placed on administrative leave pending termination. This type of action is the norm for an agency as large as the EEOC, but the EEOC by law is supposed to be against such treatment and not treat their employees in a discriminating way.
The day Investigator Jones made up his mind to stand up and dare to become a whistleblower against EEOC, i.e., exposing his supervisors and naming others – his termination was well in the making. Where was Jones' job protection? What happened to the "Whistle Blower Protection Law for this federal employee? Does this law apply to Jones being an EEOC employee?
He was put on administrative leave pending separation on November 24, 2009. He called it "effectively my last day at the EEOC," and added "the fight goes on, there's just no longer anybody who will stand up for Black people at the New York District Office EEOC."
Jones not only exposed the New York branch EEOC, he may have exposed the system as a whole across this country.
This fight should not be his own because this fight is for anyone who is employed or has filed a complaint under Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act with the EEOC. Many employees have witnessed their complaints not being enforced according to the laws of the EEOC as it is written; now we have an insider telling us why.
"District Director Lewis is an African American and Enforcement Supervisor; Electra Yourke is a European American who both equally could care less about African American complaints. They are the ones who should be removed from the NYDO followed by an independent investigation," Jones stated.
"Jones is not the one who should be shown the door for exposing the truth," said another EEOC insider who wanted their name and title to be withheld.
Employment discrimination is not news to the people who work at the EEOC and the EEOC is no different from any other employment agency. "This is something that is not unusual. I have been dealing with these things over the years," stated Attorney Johnnie Louis Johnson, III, who is representing Jones. "We are going to appeal to the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB). There is a process that has to be done. They need to notify him and we need to have an opportunity to object to anything that they have and provide a response, which they have not done," Johnson stated.
Firing an employee during the holiday season can be viewed as a mentally calculated act, which may have a serious effect on an employee as well as the employee's family. "We all have responsibility for the total amount of Black people who were terminated, laid-off, dismissed, downsized and positions eliminated. Call it what you may, this was race discrimination at its best! Our government took payment for the selling of Black people," Jones lamented.
"They have not followed the procedures," Attorney Johnson stated speaking about the EEOC and added, "We are going to get to the bottom of it and we are going to take all the appropriate actions necessary."
Jones was employed with the EEOC for nine years witnessing mainly African Americans' EEOC discrimination complaints being routinely thrown aside as, "Unfounded," and many not investigated at all.
Jones contacted The Black Star News hoping to shed some light on a federal agency that is funded millions of dollars due to the numerous Civil Rights' complaints by African Americans because of the unlawful and illegal treatment in the work place, which is the reason the EEOC laws were put in place. It is ironic the EEOC is being accused of the very laws it is supposed to enforce. Now where does Jones go to file his own employment discrimination complaint against the EEOC?
Exposing the EEOC was not a hard task; it just took an insider to speak out against what many have already known and complained about. When Jones contacted me and said the EEOC was not doing investigations and just handing out, "Right to sue letters," it was not a surprise. In fact, ten years ago at a videotaped EEOC hearing put together by former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, I stated that the EEOC was defunct, which aired on the city's cable station and no action was taken.
The race discrimination bill was enacted after African Americans were being discriminated against by employment agencies and by many employers after being hired. However, the bill did not state what ethnic group would enforce the bill or if it should make a difference.
Jones said there are many employees at the EEOC who do not know what discrimination is. "NYC, the largest Black community in the country has one Black trial attorney and Boston also has one Black trial attorney. Two Black trial attorneys between NYC and Boston, this agency is a Kangaroo Court against black people," Jones stated.
There has never been a real interest to combat employment discrimination in the workplace against nonwhite people. "The EEOC knows it is virtually impossible to win a discrimination complaint against a government Agency. The agency will tie up their attorneys and staff to beat you into submission," this is sadly a true statement and a shame the author remains unknown.
There is more to Jones' story, which I will report when the EEOC send him his termination letter.
Other complaints have also come forward who complaints are still being handled by the New York EEOC and two Virginia cases awaiting a finding. Stay tune for more.
As we move forward in the twenty-first century and witnessing the first African-American president being elected – race has been highlighted more than ever. People call themselves Americans, then try to undercut America because of their hatred. Then a member of congress interrupts the president while he is addressing the nation; then the word, "Negro," somehow gets added on the U.S. Census application.
These acts are not by mistake and come about because, "Race matters," something we have to deal with head on and right now.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 5:34 PM GMT on January 27, 2010
The 6,288-foot peak of New Hampshire's Mount Washington is a forbidding landscape of wind-swept barren rock, home to some of planet Earth's fiercest winds. As a 5-year old boy, I remember being blown over by a terrific gust of wind on the summit, and rolling out of control towards a dangerous drop-off before a fortuitously-placed rock saved me. Perusing the Guinness Book of World Records as a kid, three iconic world weather records always held a particular mystique and fascination for me: the incredible 136°F (57.8°C) at El Azizia, Libya in 1922, the -128.5°F (-89.2°C) at the "Pole of Cold" in Vostok, Antarctica in 1983, and the amazing 231 mph wind gust (103.3 m/s) recorded in 1934 on the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Well, the legendary winds of Mount Washington have to take second place now, next to the tropical waters of northwest Australia. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has announced that the new world wind speed record at the surface is a 253 mph (113.2 m/s) wind gust measured on Barrow Island, Australia. The gust occurred on April 10, 1996, during passage of the eyewall of Category 4 Tropical Cyclone Olivia.

Tropical Cyclone Olivia
Tropical Cyclone Olivia was a Category 4 storm on the U.S. Saffir-Simpson scale, and generated sustained winds of 145 mph (1-minute average) as it crossed over Barrow Island off the northwest coast of Australia on April 10, 1996. Olivia had a central pressure of 927 mb and an eye 45 miles in diameter at the time, and generated waves 21 meters (69 feet) high offshore. According to Black et al. (1999), the eyewall likely had a tornado-scale mesovortex embedded in it that caused the extreme wind gust of 253 mph. The gust was measured at the standard measuring height of 10 meters above ground, on ground at an elevation of 64 meters (210 feet). A similar mesovortex was encountered by a Hurricane Hunter aircraft in Hurricane Hugo of 1989, and a mesovortex was also believed to be responsible for the 239 mph wind gust measured at 1400 meters by a dropsonde in Hurricane Isabel in 2003. For reference, 200 mph is the threshold for the strongest category of tornado, the EF-5, and any gusts of this strength are capable of causing catastrophic damage.

Cohen, 1999, "The Impact of Tropical Cyclone Olivia on Australia's Northwest Shelf", paper presented at the 1999 Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, Texas, 3-6 May, 1999.
Why did it take so long for the new record to be announced?
The instrument used to take the world record wind gust was funded by a private company, Chevron, and Chevron's data was not made available to forecasters at Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) during the storm. After the storm, the tropical cyclone experts at BOM were made aware of the data, but it was viewed as suspect, since the gusts were so extreme and the data was taken with equipment of unknown accuracy. Hence, the observations were not included in the post-storm report. Steve Buchan from RPS MetOcean believed in the accuracy of the observations, and coauthored a paper on the record gust, presented at the 1999 Offshore Technology Conference in Houston (Buchan et al., 1999). The data lay dormant until 2009, when Joe Courtney of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology was made aware of it. Courtney wrote up a report, coauthored with Steve Buchan, and presented this to the WMO extremes committee for ratification. The report has not been made public yet, and is awaiting approval by Chevron. The verified data will be released next month at a World Meteorological Organization meeting in Turkey, when the new world wind record will become official.
New Hampshire residents are not happy
Residents of New Hampshire are understandably not too happy about losing their cherished claim to fame. The current home page of the Mount Washington Observatory reads, "For once, the big news on Mount Washington isn't our extreme weather. Sadly, it's about how our extreme weather--our world record wind speed, to be exact--was outdone by that of a warm, tropical island".
Comparison with other wind records
Top wind in an Atlantic hurricane: 239 mph (107 m/s) at an altitude of 1400 meters, measured by dropsonde in Hurricane Isabel (2003).
Top surface wind in an Atlantic hurricane: 211 mph (94.4 m/s), Hurricane Gustav, Paso Real de San Diego meteorological station in the western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, on the afternoon of August 30, 2008.
Top wind in a tornado: 302 mph (135 m/s), measured via Doppler radar at an altitude of 100 meters (330 feet), in the Bridge Creek, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999.
Top surface wind not associated with a tropical cyclone or tornado: 231 mph (103.3 m/s), April 12, 1934 on the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire.
Top wind in a typhoon: 191 mph (85.4 m/s) on Taiwanese Island of Lanyu, Super Typhoon Ryan, Sep 22, 1995; also on island of Miyakojima, Super Typhoon Cora, Sep 5, 1966.
Top surface wind not measured on a mountain or in a tropical cyclone: 207 mph (92.5 m/s) measured in Greenland at Thule Air Force Base on March 6, 1972.
Top wind measured in a U.S. hurricane: 186 mph (83.1 m/s) measured at Blue Hill Observatory, Massachusetts, during the 1938 New England Hurricane.

I have a feeling Tendulkar will get a ton here.I don't see India losing this game,or losing any group game TBH.They'll qualify for the QFs with a 100% record IMO.
Do not collapse, India. Do not collapse and definitely pick two spinners. Do not collapse; pick two spinners and we can show the English how cricket is supposed to be played.
The speed at which a fielding team gets through the innings is overrated.

Shud be a gud game...But India have slight advantage......60-40 IMO
Love You India
Whatever India's over-rated hacks put up, England should comfortabl chase down. Bangladesh took 289 off them without trying ffs.
If Yuvraj fails in this game, I wouldn't expect much from him in the tournament. Best chance for him to get back to form since he loves batting against England. India to win comfortably imo.

'Duck Dynasty' Christmas Special
It's Christmas time in "O Little Town of West Monroe," where the Robertsons are partaking in traditions new and old. The family is asked to perform a live nativity for the church, so the wives take it upon themselves to organize rehearsals to ensure they pull off a great event. However, wrangling all the Robertson men requires divine intervention; Jep is afraid he won't remember his one line, Si can't let go of his tea cup and Jase gives Willie a hard time about his role as Joseph. A&E's "Duck Dynasty" returns for a one-hour holiday special premiering Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 10 p.m.

If you're popping over from the party today thanks for stopping by and getting to know us.
I'm Maria and the owner of this blog and a house by the lake. The hubby is Bryan, he's my partner in this home owning journey. Our son Nikolas is 2 1/2 going on 1 2 and keeps us on our toes.
Bryan and I bought this good house in a great spot 3 years ago and have been putting our mark on it ever since. We chose this house on the lake for it's outdoor lifestyle and gorgeous views. During the summer months it's like being on vacation all the time.We truly love it. Nothing is perfect around here and everything is always a work-in-progress…just the way we like it.
(Outdoor Bar, Master Bedroom, Living Room, Our Yard)
We both have office day jobs so our home is really where we get to let our our creative side shine. We've worked on a ton of projects since moving in and we have a ton more to go. It's as much about the journey as it is the end result. I don't think we'll ever been done because it's something we both love to do.
(Vintage Nightstand, Reupholstered Chairs, Outdoor Cushions, Planter Boxes)
This blog space of ours is sort of like a DIY Diary along with a healthy amount of Real Life thrown in.
Feel free to take a look around:
- Our Lake Tours page is where you can check out some of the beautiful sites around our lake.
- The Projects Page lists all of our DIY projects and makeovers with handy dandy little thumbnails.
- Our House Tours page is a great way to check out all the progress we've made along the way.
Now on to the party.

The context
Large swaths of the Indian population remain desperately poor despite the country's rapid economic growth, led by the flourishing private sector. These communities are often unable to access basic amenities and services, and have limited access to opportunities offered by the growing economy. Millions of people are especially vulnerable to the impact of disasters and may lose their fragile livelihoods and homes all at once if a natural disaster strikes.
Our work
- Emergency response: Responding to human suffering in the aftermath of disasters with emergency supplies, cash distributions, and water and sanitation services.
- Agriculture & Food: Linking farmers to markets and supporting them with tools and resources to improve productivity and increase incomes.
- Children & Youth: Teaching proper hygiene in schools to reduce disease, and empowering young people through leadership training.
- Health: Working with rural communities to provide water and sanitation facilities and encourage proper hygiene practices that positively impact community health.
- Economic opportunity: Training unemployed youth from tea-growing families and connecting them with jobs. Helping small businesses run by women improve and grow through management and technical resources.

RICHMOND, Va. — A severe thunderstorm rolled through Richmond International Raceway on Friday afternoon, forcing NASCAR to call off qualifying for the Toyota Owners 400.
RICHMOND, Va. — A severe thunderstorm rolled through Richmond International Raceway on Friday afternoon, forcing NASCAR to call off qualifying for the Toyota Owners 400.
Qualifying for tonight's 400-lap Sprint Cup Series race was scheduled for 5:10 p.m. The Nationwide Series had just wrapped up qualifying for its 250-lap event on Friday night before heavy rain fell on this three-quarter-mile racetrack.
Rookie Kyle Larson earned the pole for the Sprint Cup race since he had the fastest lap overall in the practice sessions held earlier in the day. Teams practiced for two hours during the morning and then one hour in the early afternoon. Larson's best lap was clocked at 126.880 mph during the morning session.
"It's nice starting off from the pole," Larson said. "I don't know if I will count it as my first career pole, but it's still pretty cool to start on the front row."
Brad Keselowski will start alongside Larson on the front row. Clint Bowyer will roll off third, followed by Kasey Kahne, Kevin Harvick, who won the most recent race two weeks ago at Darlington, and Brian Vickers. Harvick also won last year's spring race at Richmond.
Starting seventh through 10th will be: Jamie McMurray, Ryan Truex, who is also a rookie this season, Paul Menard and Jimmie Johnson, the six-time and defending Sprint Cup champion.
Michael McDowell and Dave Blaney did not make the 43-car starting field.
Brian Scott won the pole for the Nationwide race. Scott turned a lap at 122.061 mph for his third career pole in the series, including his second at Richmond. Last September at this track, he started up front and led a career- high 239 laps in a dominating performance before finishing second.
Rookie Dylan Kwasniewski qualified second, followed by Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, who is also a rookie in the series this year, and Trevor Bayne. Elliott has won the last two Nationwide races and is the current points leader.

Sleeping In Seattle
Hello from Seattle, where it is currently really, really, really cold. No, I mean really cold. Like, think of the coldest thing you can think of right now—a milkshake with ice cubes in it, the Arctic tundra, Paris Hilton's heart—and multiply that by a hundred and four, and that is how cold it is here. I just walked seven blocks back from my office and by the time I pushed open the doors of the hotel lobby, I couldn't feel most of my extremities, and I was wearing gloves, a hat, and a coat that kept me pretty toasty in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In November. I mean, come on.
On the upside, here is the view from my office, which could not possibly be more beautifully Seattle-ish.
Okay, wait, maybe it could be a tiny bit more beautifully Seattle-ish, but only if it had Frasier Crane somewhere in the left hand of the frame. Holding a cup of coffee. Next to McDreamy.
(Is McDreamy still a thing? Do people still watch Grey's Anatomy? I remember the last time I visited Seattle, I was obsessed with the show and kept thinking I saw Meredith everywhere, but I must confess that I stopped watching several years ago and now I have no idea what the residents of Seattle Grace are up to anymore. Although presumably the same five people are still getting together and breaking up in various combinations.)
As well as not realizing that it was going to be this cold in Seattle—I mean, it's not like I have a weather app on my phone or anything; it's not like I could have looked it up (I could have looked it up)—I also did not realize that I was going to be arriving in the city on the day of a major parade. Why was there a major parade in Seattle today? Well, if you just asked yourself that question, you're in good company, because I did not know either. This is because the parade was to celebrate the winning of the Superbowl, but because the Superbowl is a sporting event and my brain shuts off at the phrase "sporting event" somewhere around "spor—", I kind of didn't really pay it any attention until the hotel check-in person said "wow, lot of people out there for the parade, huh?" and I said "oh, there's a parade today? For what?" and then I was actually asked to leave the United States of America immediately for unpatriotic conduct and also my husband texted me and asked for a divorce.
(Whatever. Talk to me when there's a parade for the Oscars. Oh wait, there is! It's Live From the Red Carpet on E! and I have the time and date of it written down in my planner. Look, I'm sorry, we all have our passions. Yours might be football but mine is marveling at what a good job that boob tape is doing at holding everything in.)
I am going to finish this now because I have one-quarter of The Goldfinch left to read—I have been dragging it out for an entire month because I never want to not be reading it—and also a pack of Skittles to get through. In bed. In this quiet room. Bolstered by the magnificent knowledge that when I turn off the light and drift into sleep tonight, no-one is going to wake me up three hours later and demand to eat. Small pleasures, friends. You can't even imagine.

A child whose father told him that shampoo contained 'poo' has received a reply from Morrisons.
Young George Hyde (3) had asked his father John if shampoo contained real poo, and pulling his leg, as dads do, John told him it did.
Horrified, the lad took it upon himself to write to the supermarket, and here's their excellent response.
Responding, Sarah Sharp for the company said: "I'm sending you some pennies for you to buy some really nice-smelling shampoo so your hair will smell of strawberries or melon or even pears! those are very lovely smells."
