Zig-zags of dark and light grey together with the white run through this classic ripple afghan. It is going to look stylish in modern home. I crocheted it with 3mm hook and used 700gr of cotton yarn. Measures 80x120cm.
I loved crocheting this pattern, it's relatively simple, rhythmic and soothing. The written pattern is available HERE, and for the graphic pattern see the photo bellow.

Live from DNC: Hillary Endorses Obama — Or Does She?
9:12PM Bill Kristol says the Obama! Watch score was 10, but I think he counted the hanging chads.
9:08PM "Let's elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden." Let me sum up my impression of her speech, and the entire DNC so far, in two words: Let's not.
9:07.5PM Obama! Watch: 5?
9:07PM "We're Americans, we're not big on quitting." Unless we're Democrats, and there's a war on. In which case, let's all be French.
9:06PM "Keep going!" Oh, how about we try shutting up already?
9:05PM "My mother was born before women could vote." Yeah, well MY momma... wait... aren't we playing this game the wrong way around?
9:04PM Obama! Watch: 4. Cocktails: 3. I'm glad I didn't agree to do shots.
9:03PM "Equal pay for equal work!" Please, please, please let's have the Supreme Court determine our wages.
9:02PM Stacy McCain leaned over and asked me, "Have you heard any gaffes, any blunders?" And I had to admit that I haven't. But, as Stacy pointed out, it's really just her campaign stump speech -- when she ran against lame duck George Bush instead of hot & tasty young up'n'commer Barrack Obama.
9:00PM "President Obama and the Democrats." I have... I need... I... Hold me, I'm scared.
8:59PM Oil profits bad... government "green" spending good. The last successful government energy project made a big splash in New Mexico in 1945. And yet they oppose nuclear power.
8:57PM And the laundry list goes on... and you wonder why I drink my way through these events?
8:55PM Here it comes: Clinton's mock State of the Union address, where she lists the things, basically, she'd do. It's laundry list, empty of real content, and as boring as an empty cocktail glass.
8:54PM McCain mentions: One. Bush mentions: Many. The Dems are STILL running against Bush. Do they think he's going to be around another four years if they don't?
8:53.5PM "Stephanie Tubbs Jones." She said Barrack once, and Obama once... which means STJ has technically gotten more Hillary mentions than The One.
8:53PM I think that's how many times Reagan mentioned Ford by name during his short, bitter 1976 RNC speech.
8:52PM Obama! Watch score: Still 2.
8:50PM She knows a guy with a Marine Corps t-shirt. Hell, I used to own a USMC t-shirt. Does she have a point? I mean, other than the one sitting on top of that ORANGE pants suit.
8:49PM I've been looking longingly at my second, empty vodka rocks for too long now. BRB.
8:48.5PM She's saying bad things about Republicans and "eight years of failed leadership." If she'd have provided eight months of even mediocre leadership, Obama would be giving his speech for her tonight.
8:48PM "We are on the same team and none of us can afford to sit on the sidelines." Apparently, her rehearsal speech this afternoon was a little "alternate pre-history" to soothe the tender souls of the PUMAs. And who can blame her?
8:47PM "The time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose." Winning!
8:46PM Obama! Watch: 2
8:46PM "I'm here tonight as a proud mother, as a proud Democrat, as a proud senator from New York, a proud American [sic], and a proud supporter of Barrack Obama." Stacy should have taken the bet, he says.
8:45PM She's getting quite the reception. Also, please remember that fines are doubled in a construction zone.
8:44PM Obama! Watch: 0. Robert Stacy McCain declined my five dollar bet.
8:43 PM Correction: With those hips and that suit, she looks like a highway cone.
8:42 PM Hillary seems to have just escaped from a minimum security prison work detail.
8:40 PM The OTHER McCain says Clinton won't totally snub The One tonight. He's sitting next to me on the sofa, and I'm about to offer him a five dollar wager.

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are 100% mine. I'm excited to partner with Chase, who is helping to make the home buying experience easier during this busy home buying season.
Buying a new home can be an interesting task. You may feel extremely happy, but overwhelmed at the same time. I understand what you're going through.
I bought my first house at the young age of 20, and learned many things about the home buying process.
Recently, Chase released a national survey, "Insights from the Mind of the Modern Homebuyer," which I found extremely interesting. Their survey includes information about how, with the rise of digital and technology and the 'always-on' mentality, home buying trends are shifting in today's world.
Yes, they are changing!
This survey showed that 75% of home buyers don't plan to stay in their homes long-term, suggesting that today's consumer is always searching for the next best thing. This was true in our case as we only stayed in our home for 5 years, and we actually sold it last year so that we could travel full-time. We also knew that we weren't buying our "forever" home at the time.
Here are some other interesting statistics from Chase's survey:
- Digital tools are changing the way Americans search for homes with more people taking a DIY approach. This was especially true for us, as we found the home that we bought online! Our realtor showed us tons of houses, but we found one online that we liked and had her take us to that one. And, that's the one we ended up buying.
- The survey found 68% of Americans are starting the home search on their own, with 45% using a computer or laptop as the first step and 13% using their mobile device. I'm not surprised by this statistic. We searched online before we contacted our realtor.
- Only 11% would first check their local listings in a newspaper or magazine.
- Mortgage professionals continue to be key in home buying process – 73% of Americans agree that they would want to meet with a mortgage professional as they consider financing options and also feel that a realtor is essential.
- Americans are optimistic about the value of their home and are seeing the value in reinvesting in their homes. Chase's survey shows that 38% have used or are considering a Home Equity Line of Credit in the next five years, with the majority (58%) putting it toward home improvements.
We all know that planning for, and meeting financial goals — including buying a home — isn't always easy. Chase is committed to helping people be in control of their finances no matter where in life they are. Check out Chase.com/homebuyers for more information. To begin your process of buying a home, I encourage you to visit the link above where you can also find out more on the survey and home buying tools and tips.

We are trying to stain pine trim pieces that have heavily routed grooves and also rosettes for the corners. The trim is looking zebra-like with dark-light-dark light patches. The rosettes have circular routings which are taking the stain in many different ways so they look like many variances of color/finish.
Can anything be done to fix the stain on the existing pieces, or do we need to buy new pieces?
How can I sand these pieces without damaging the routing lines?

June 7, 2017
The seasons crunch, these days. Spring rolls into summer, bringing with it a flood of pre football-season annuals, dope-books, treasure troves of analytics, and if you've checked out much of it (proof of being the proud possessor of an idle mind, by the way), you know this much: The Patriots had better be ready to go unbeaten, untied, and rarely scored-upon in the coming season, wire to wire.
Nothing less will be justifiable. There's not a gridiron savant, media wise guy or Vegas handicapper so much as hedging. The consensus that the defending champs are, however improbably, the NFL's most improved team is universal. There's no dissent, nor whiff even, of a little willing suspension of disbelief if only for argument's sake. The tub-thumping is deafening. The bandwagon is rolling a month before camps open. Why bother to play? It's already over.
You can just imagine how much all this runaway euphoria does not amuse Bill Belichick, the relentlessly grim orchestrator of this budding masterpiece. The dour Boss will not be comfortable with the notion that the only team he has to fear is his own. But it's a monster he created. Now he gets to live with it. Seems reasonable!
Taking stock of where Tiger's at
In the wake of his latest personal fiasco might it be time for the sports world to stop making excuses for Tiger Woods? He's had huge physical problems, which may seem unfair, but all that goes with the territory of sport – even in golf – and the ranks of those who've suffered as grievously while having had nowhere near as much good fortune stretch from here to eternity.
Sympathy for a fellow who has fallen so far is not unreasonable. But the most painful fact of the matter is that Tiger Woods has brought much of his grief down upon himself. Too often that unpleasant reality is ignored or glossed over in justifications one finds weak. Still, the compensations he has so long enjoyed continue. According to those who keep such statistics, Tigers Woods' earnings last year totaled $45 million even though he won very little, had no impact on major tourneys, and was forced by health problems to withdraw from still others.
Granted, money is not everything. One assumes Woods would trade a whole helluva lot of it for the restoration of his former dominance in his game, eminence in the culture, and peace in his personal life. Such losses are indisputably sad. So, too, have been the mistakes he's made in abetting them.
To Bruins: Don't overthink things
It might be easy for the Bruins to assess their Stanley Cup experience with Ottawa and draw the wrong conclusions. After all, the gritty Senators came within an unlucky puck-bounce in Game 7's double-overtime of stunning the Penguins, thereby making it to the Finals. Equally razor-thin was the margin by which the Bruins got ousted by the Senators in Round One: All four of their excruciating losses were by one goal, three of them in overtime.
How facile might it be for the Bruins' brain trust to trip over their own deductive reasoning and falsely conclude they're equals and are but half a break and a friendly referee's favorable whistle from being where the Penguins themselves now sit, within the grasp of the Cup. That would be folly, of course. But the danger-– given the level of experience of said brain trust – exists. Would that it were so simple.
What's up with Belichick and Gronk?
Among Bill Belichick's celebrated strengths is his iron grip on his troops. His ability to exert fierce discipline without sacrificing devotion ranks with the wiles and guiles of such fabled military high-rollers as Stonewall Jackson and Georgie Patton, et al. His intolerance of the most trivial indiscretions of even his most earnest, loyal, totally obedient slugs is yet another staple of his gathering legend.
So the question of why he puts up with the childish nonsense of his highly talented but often indisposed tight end, Rob Gronkowski, has become fascinating. Last summer the Gronk achieved stardom with his entertaining dance routines on cruise ships only to have his football season shortened once again by another round of serious injury. A connection? Who knows!
But then during this off-season – only weeks after back surgery – we have Gronk rehabbing by doing WrestleMania. He got the huge attention he obviously craves by jumping into the ring to battle wild and crazy fellow-wrestling maniacs on live TV. One doubts this amuses Belichick, but he goes on letting Gronk be Gronk.
Would Belichick put up with this from a Julian Edelman or Malcolm Butler? But then, of course, neither would go there, nor would others dare . Gronk did partake of recent off-season practices held in secret. He reportedly looked "good." But then Gronk always looks good – in merry May!
Montville takes up Ali's fight vs. US
Lastly, old friend Leigh Montville, one of the more prolific of our contemporary literati, has a fresh and valuable perspective on Muhammad Ali for you to savor. Leigh focuses on Ali's most important battle and the one that insures his place not just in sports annals but also in our entire history – his fight with the United States Government (1966-1971) that ended up in the Supreme Court.
The author of seven major works, including, most especially, a sheer masterpiece of a Ted Williams biography, Monty's huge reportorial skills shine in all his labors. Ever the intense observer, he's a relentless gatherer of details, a superior researcher, and maybe the best interviewer I ever competed with in the workplace. How so, you ask? Because when he talks to someone, he listens to what they say, really listens.
Such skills were vital assets in the probing of AIi's complex tale and if you think you already know this character, understand that the antics in the ring and their companion theatrics were but one dimension. There was all the rest, decidedly more important issues of race and religion, crisis of authority, and rage in the streets, Vietnam, and Islam. This is the epic world of Muhammad Ali that Montville engages.
Not an easy chore. But Montville has taken it on. No surprise there. "Sting Like a Bee" is the title. You'll love it!

Day 6
Hey guys! We're nearly at the end! We've made it to day six (Sunday, 26/3/2017)!
Over the past 24 hours I have used the following online media:
- Facebook Messenger – communication purposes to speak to friends to organise meeting up
- PTV app – checked train and tram times.
- Instagram Story – I filmed and uploaded a video through the app from my night, I also applied a filter and a caption on the video itself
- Commbank App – checked current bank balance
- Twitter – consumed media, checked feed multiple times. Also authored media, posted tweets. For entertainment purposes, and to stay up to date
- Instagram – consumed media, checked Instagram feed several times over the night and today. Liked many photos and left a couple of comments. Usually complimentary on photos of friends. Mostly for entertainment, sometimes to pass time.
- Facebook – consumed media, watched videos, read statuses, scrolled through my feed – these are primarily for entertainment purposes, I also watched a political video, that was to stay up to date with current news and events. I shared a friend's post about her lost cat that lives close to me – this was to help spread the word or assist in hopefully finding it. Looked up restaurant I was visiting for current weekly specials.
- Uber App – I ordered an Uber home, practical reasons for transportation
- RMIT site/blackboard – consumed media for educational purposes, accessed online readings, course guides and obtained assessment due dates.
- Apple Music – listened to music through the online streaming service, for entertainment purposes.
- Weather App – on iPhone.
- Checked emails
Over the past 24 hours I've mostly consumed media rather than authored. It was also mostly for entertainment, educational and practical reasons such as getting to and from places.

Claire and Dave Ang, November 2010
Toni got married last year, after about one year into a relationship. A few months later, Claire and Ms. Ae followed. Last June, my youngest brother shocked me with the news that he's also getting married the following month. Just recently, my churchmates Trel and Kuya Errol shocked me with the news that they're dating. A week after they're engaged! Last week, I received an invite from Joyjoy and Delfin for their coming wedding celebration! Whaaaat? I don't even know that they're officially dating. And there's Joanne and Jeff tying the knot too, ASAP. Last weekend, travel buddy Jadie announced her engagement to Errol via Facebook! I've also heard about wedding plans from my family – Alia (aunt), Ate (sister), Mitchie (cousin) and Samarie (another cousin). Even my BFFs Mimi, Amy and Ruthie has been talking about "marriage" these past days as well.
What in the world is happening? It 's like every other girl I know is engaged and I'm not. Gaaahhhd, I am seriously going to turn darkest green with envy hahaha. This world is sooooo cruel LOL. Too many shocking but pleasant news!!! One day, l'll send you guys a photo card with the birth announcements of my twins and give you the biggest surprise of your life! That would be really awesomeeeee!
Congrats and best wishes. I am happy for you guys, even if there are tiny little seeds of jealousy
and/or bitterness inside my heart LOL. Stay in loveeee!

Discovery Media Corporate Identity
Discovery Media is an advertising sales house for Discovery Networks Italy. The brief called for an identity that encapsulated the diverse portfolio of channels, and therefore advertising opportunities, that are available through Discovery Media. With most, if not all advertising sales agencies in Italy taking more of a blanket approach to sales, there was an opportunity for Discovery Media to offer a more intelligent, honest, and targeted service. The logo and colour palette was developed to signify the diversity of the offering; and the typefaces DIN & Bell MT italics were chosen to imbue the identity with a sense of elegance and refinement.

TicketLeap needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 85 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
We are an online ticketing platform. Our concept is for event organizers and online ticketing to socially engage with one another and have fun.
Redesign the boring & outdated icons on our website with something flashy, fun and eye-catching!
We're looking to replace the icons on this page of our website: http://info.ticketleap.com/why/
Each icon should correspond to the 7 categories listed:
1. Showcase Your Event
2. Maximize Your Sales
3. Integrated On-site Ticketing
4. Smooth Event Check-in
5. Smart Dat Analysis
6. Dedicated Support
7. Flexible Payments
What we're looking for:
-We want to convey fun, lively, sleek, modern, web 3.0!
-The icons should POP on our website. We DONT want something that blends in and goes unnoticed.
-Think: Flashy, Fun, Dimensional!
Here are some other sites with icons we like (but we'd like something even flashier than these!):

It's true – I love floral prints and I love rompers which is why I decided to style this super cute and super comfy floral print romper for my fun holiday resort look.
This outfit is actually one of my favourite Spring or summer pieces to wear. It's comfortable and chic at the same time and I love the little frill detailing on the torso area. I know they can get a bit annoying when u have to use the bathroom but the comforts of a romper outweighs the bathroom inconveniences in my opinion. I paired this look with a white fringe cape/jacket and absolutely loved how it complimented the outfit. The fringes on this jacket made the outfit fun, flirty and perfect for my holiday resort look. To edge it up a bit, I went in for some gold accessories along with my rockstud gladiator sandals.
So girls, don't forget to pack that favourite romper if you're planning that summer or beach vacation. It's always fun to get a little dressed and dolled up, don't you think!? XoXo
Get the Look:
Romper: Forever New | Fringe Cape: Ginger By Lifestyle | Rockstud Sandals: Forever 21 | Wallet on Chain: Michael Kors | Sunglasses: RayBan | Neckchain: Forever 21

Frank Scott won't be Little Rock's first black mayor, but he is the first black man elected mayor in town history.
The 35-year-old ex-aide to former Gov. Mike Beebe beat Baker Kurrus in the runoff race Tuesday shortly after 8:30 p.m., when Kurrus conceded.
"We started this journey making certain we were going to directly engage each and every voter," Scott said in his victory speech, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "So I thank every volunteer, every team member, every donor, every voter, anybody that shot up a prayer or a positive vibe, we just want to say thank you."
Scott will be Little Rock's third black mayor, but the other two were city directors who had been chosen for the position by board members.
"If you believe it's time to unify this city, let's do it," he said Tuesday night.
Little Rock is the famous home of the nine black students who were blocked from entering the racially segregated Little Rock Central High School by then-Gov. Orval Faubus three years after Brown v. Board of Education.
The Little Rock Nine were eventually allowed to attend the school after President Eisenhower intervened.

Industrial Partitioning
Industrial environments can benefit from stylish, environmentally efficient and functional partitioning. Workplace efficiency goes hand-in-hand with the need to comply with health and safety legislation when we create a safe, comfortable and an energy efficient working environment. When we design your industrial office, partition or enclosure, we consider how we will incorporate energy efficient lighting and, where possible, take advantage of natural light. Many of our partitioning systems are demountable, so the installation can be changed, extended or dismantled with ease. Our extensive design experience will deliver a partitioning, ceiling and lighting system that not only meets your needs today but also will serve you far into the future.
We can supply and install the following partitioning systems:
- Angle Frame Partitioning
- Composite Partitioning
- Mesh Partitioning
- Single Skin Partitioning
- Double Skin Partitioning

You can ask us to waive a payment penalty for late filing, non-electronic filing or late payment. If we do this, it means the penalty is legally waived and you do not have to pay the penalty.
We can waive penalties in the following circumstances:
Reasonable cause
We may waive a penalty if the reason you were not able to file or pay on time was beyond your control - it must be 'reasonable' for an average person in the same position not to have filed or paid on time. We must apply the term reasonable to the event or circumstance.
Collecting the highest net revenue
Our legal duty is to collect, over time, as much revenue as possible, ideally through voluntary compliance with the tax laws by all taxpayers. Sometimes this legal duty means we'll be able to waive penalties, for example, where we charge a penalty because of:
- a genuine error
- a 'one-off' situation
- incorrect advice from us that directly resulted in the non-compliance.

New Williams Institute Study Compares Demographic Characteristics Between Same-sex and Different-Sex Couples
For Immediate Distribution
February 28, 2013
Donald Gatlin, email@example.com, (202) 821-7923
Grant Wasson, email@example.com, (213) 236-3751
LOS ANGELES, CA – There are nearly 650,000 same-sex couples in the United States, of which approximately 114,100 are legally married and over 108,600 are in civil unions or registered domestic partnerships. In a new research brief released by Gary Gates, Distinguished Scholar at UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, summarizes the demographic characteristics of same-sex couples and compares them to different-sex couples. The analyses highlight trends and changes in the demographic diversity of same-sex couples and assess the degree to which similar changes are occurring among different-sex couples.
Key findings include:
• Children: As of 2011, about one in five same-sex couples are raising children under age 18. Among different-sex couples the proportion with children is 43.5%.
• Race/Ethnicity: About a quarter of individuals in same-sex couples are non-white and they are generally as racially and ethnically diverse as those in different-sex couples, though individuals in same-sex couples are less likely to be Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.
• Veterans: About 13% of same-sex couples include a veteran, and slightly less than 1% include a spouse or partner who has been on active duty in the last year.
• Health Insurance: Same-sex couples are less likely than different-sex couples to have both spouses or partners covered by health insurance (76.5 v. 84%, respectively), and twice as likely to have only one spouse or partner insured (17% v. 8%, respectively).
The report is based on data from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), 2005 through 2011.

In business, first impressions are key. That being said, you'll no doubt want your guest welcoming area to make a statement. That's where we come in. Today on 'Fashionable Furniture' we'll be showcasing elite welcome desks, stylish seating, and designer accent tables from industry leading brands you can trust to rock your remodel. Rest assured, these furnishings are up to date with the latest trends and guaranteed to earn your space the compliments it deserves.
Nobody does guest reception desks better than Mayline. If you're looking to craft a fashionable welcoming area, we recommend checking out the stations from their Sterling collection. This full service line offers glass accented reception desks with work surface extensions that are unlike anything on the market today. In addition to desks, Sterling boasts an array of matching accent tables that will help you create a cohesive and professional vibe with your space.
Mayline also has your reception seating needs covered. The fashionable leather lounge chairs from their Santa Cruz line are second to none. Available in stylish color options like Almond, Santa Cruz chairs will help you create a classy environment your guests will love. We particularly love the VCCMT model Santa Cruz lounge chair as it features a tablet arm and mobilized base to go along with well padded surfaces!
Global Total Office is also ahead of the industry curve when it comes to guest reception furniture. If an out of the box reception station just won't cut it, check out the custom options from their Zira collection. The modular components from this line make it easy to craft single and multi user guest reception stations. Zira's storage components are also worth talking about. They're a far cry from the traditional metal cabinets that serve as little more than bulky eye sores. Skip the traditional and think outside the box with the furniture from this fashionable line.
customizable lounge chairs can be upholstered in two tone options that will make your space pop. Sirena chairs are available with tablet arms, lower level storage compartments, and mobilized bases to help you maximize your area while simultaneously improving the guest experience.
OFM has made it their mission to master the reception area. They offer quick shipping desks, chairs, and tables that are a can't miss option for shoppers. This year, you'll definitely want to check out their Marque reception desks in white. They feature curved fronts that look great from every angle. Multiple sizes are available starting at $993.99.
The OFM beam style reception chairs from the NET series are perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications. Available in 7 quick shipping color options, you'll have no problem complimenting your new and existing decor. These chairs are constructed using heavy gauge steel so you know they are built to withstand everyday use. NET series beam chairs are an absolutely awesome option for salon and physician waiting room seating needs. Multiple sizes are available to meet your specific square footage needs, along with matching glass top tables!
Don't forget about the accent tables needed to round out your interior! We recommend maximizing your remodeling budget by selecting designer options from a brand like Modway. With more than 30 reception area side tables available, you'll be at no shortage of models to choose from. We particularly love the Gridiron coffee table. It offers a blend of mid century and contemporary appeal that's nothing short of impressive.
Last but not least, you can't go wrong with fashionable accent tables from Woodstock Marketing. This year they've released three new models our designers love. Tables like the Sly will help you create a clean and classy vibe that showcases your remodeling ingenuity. The Sly table is also a great buy at just $349.00. A matching glass top end table is also available if needed to further enhance your space.

The Operations Special Interest Group (OpSig) has created a database of about 40,000 prototype industries. Due to the volume, four files are used to retain these industries. Our IndMan program accesses these files, allows you to merge, sort, search and create sub files of this data. IndMan also converts these files to a format suitable for our Waybills program.
The OpSig data files are ASCII, tab deliminated so they can readily be read into a spreadsheets like Excel.
The IndMan program is our contribution to this OpSig project. The program and the four OpSig files are free.
You can use IndMan to find a particular industry for your waybills. Both the IndMan and Waybills programs are linked together so you may select an industry in IndMan and insert it directly onto a waybills cycle in the Waybills program.
To download the IndMan program and the OpSig database files, click the Download button at the top of this page.
Here is a look of the main IndMan screen.

Little Monsters (1989)
AnthonyV.Mennitto posted a topic in Bad Movie Recommendationsparts of this movie scared the shit out of me as a kid. some still do, actually. seems perfect for a HDTGM episode. Starring: Fred Savage, Ben Savage, Howie Mandel, Daniel Stern.
LOOK OUT MANTZOUKAS - there's a NEW TICK TOCK in town!!

The Peanut Butter Solution (1985)
fulldiscloshe posted a topic in Bad Movie RecommendationsNo you didn't dream this movie, it actually exists. The Peanut Butter solution is a "family comedy" that scared the shit out of anyone who watched it in the 80s. And that's not just because the entire soundtrack consists of songs by an up-and-coming singer called Celine Dion. Michael loses his hair in a fright at a haunted house, then ghosts tell him to restore his hair with peanut butter. Now the hair won't stop growing. Michael's small asian friend decides to put the peanut butter solution on his balls, family fun ensues. A creepy art teacher then kidnaps Michael to make magic paintbrushes from his hair. Meanwhile, Michael's mother takes off to Australia so his sister takes over the role of mother, dealing with the father's issues and wearing the mother's clothes and shoes. FOR NO REASON. Holy crap I'm going to have nightmares tonight just from writing this. See the trailer here, but don't believe the happiness: http://jezebel.com/5...ilm-of-all-time Watch the full film here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2798924676514781836 Did anyone else have their childhood ruined by this film?

My favorite is featured in the show's store. It's a "campaign poster" for our very own June. I did get to read it to her and she took it at the Seattle 2nd show. Take a look and I love suggestions for new shirt ideas! SHIRTS ON SALE!
The Conqueror (1956)
BillClam posted a topic in Bad Movie RecommendationsHow has this movie not been suggested yet? For your consideration, a Howard Hughes produced film about one of the greatest empires ever, starring no of any relation to said empire. If you're wondering if this was filmed down wind of a nuclear test site that gave dozens of people cancer, it was. Hughes felt guilty about this and bought the rights of the film and the film was not released until after his death when Universal purchased the rights.

The 9th Life of Louis Drax (2016)
LuxuryLoaf posted a topic in Bad Movie RecommendationsI've never felt compelled to post on a message board half way through a film. I need someone break this down for me because I can't follow what's going on, it's making me feel angry, it's not Meant to, and I don't care anymore; I just want it to end. I can't stop it. I'm fully committed. Best case scenario Infall asleep and forget about it when I wake up tomorrow. It's written as a supernatural mystery "thriller", acted like a soap opera, lit and shot like a Lifetime movie. Jaime Dornan, Aaron Paul, Molly Parker, Oliver Plat, and the director of Piranha 3-D. IMDB: The story begins on Louis Drax's 9th birthday, when a lifetime of curious mishaps culminates in the boy's near-fatal fall. Desperate to reveal the strange circumstances behind the young boy's accident and dark coincidences that have plagued his entire life, Dr. Allan Pascal (Dornan) is drawn into a thrilling mystery that explores the nature of the sixth sense, testing the boundaries of fantasy and reality.
Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D
Scottcarberry replied to SlidePocket's topic in How Did This Get Made?First, the admission. I too, was fascinated by soap opera kissing as a young boy AND practiced on my mom. So Paul, you are not alone!! Well maybe 4 or 5 times until my mom put the brakes on it. Now the omission! Paul, what research were you going to share with us before Jason and June's ridiculing made you give up? I'm dying to know!
Iceman (2014)
Kel Kel posted a topic in Bad Movie Recommendationssynopsis: An imperial guard and his three traitorous childhood friends ordered to hunt him down get accidentally buried and kept frozen in time. 400 years later passes and they are defrosted continuing the battle they left behind. Oh boy, where to begin... I immediately thought "what a field day Paul, June, & Jason would have with this movie." There are flashbacks that come out of nowhere, superhuman strength, Krishna's Penis, & crazy long streams of piss (you'll see). It came out in 3D, I didn't watch it in 3D, but I imagine it was silly. I would actually recommend this movie because it's kind of hilarious and has some great fight scenes, but you really need to see it to understand. I watched it because it has Donnie Yen (Ip man). Oh Donnie... It's on Netflix, so you don't need to buy it. HOW DID THIS GET MADEEEEE??? TELL MEEEEE! imdb: ICEMAN
Christian Mingle: The Movie (2014)
WEdidITagain posted a topic in Bad Movie RecommendationsDid you know one of fall's best romantic comedies is named after ChristianMingle.com? ChristianMingle is a love story with some serious soul. Watch the trailer and see why! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWahCUaWhYk This movie seems like it was MADE for the show.
Troop Beverly Hills (1989)
RobertColquhoun posted a topic in Bad Movie RecommendationsLets face it. Shelley Long taking over her daughters Beverly Hill's girl scout (or whatever) troop only to show them the merits of being a housewife is GARBAGE. Who thought this would be a good movie? I remember this movie playing on tv in the 90's when I was a kid and thinking it was terrible even then.
Musical Mondays--Rotation and Sign Up
Cameron H. posted a topic in How Did This Get Made?In an effort to simplify things, I thought I'd start another thread for people to sign up for Musical Mondays. Currently, the rotation is buried in another thread, and I thought it would be nice to have one where it's the first post in the thread and people can easily be added without things getting out of control. MUSICAL MONDAYS ROTATION Fister Roboto - Hedwig and the Angry Inch; The Lure; Om Shanti Om Cameron H. - Hairspray; Gigi; Blue Hawaii; Rockula Tomspanks - Tommy; The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas; Singing Detective; Flower Drum Song Taylorannephoto - Beauty and the Beast; Gentlemen Prefer Blondes; Josie and the Pussycats; The Last Five Years Cakebug Tranch - Across the Universe; Guys and Dolls; La La Land; Passing Strange Cam Bert - Jesus Christ Superstar; Bugsy Malone; Hello, Dolly!; True Stories Quasar Sniffer- Cabaret!; Top Hat; Blues Brothers; The Long Dumb Road Cinco DeNio - Rent; Reefer Madness; Piya Behrupiya Kateacola - Pete's Dragon; Bride & Prejudice; Easter Parade JammerLea - High School Musical; The Muppet Movie; Oliver & Company Ellenmc - Repo!

You will be added to the end of the rotation. No pressure! If you just want to do one movie and nothing else, that's totally fine--but I will say that I think that you'd be missing out
Pulled episodes, HDTGM
tan1230 posted a topic in General EarwolfAs I was listening to several old episodes of HDTGM I noticed the Green Lantern episode (14) was missing. I couldn't find any messages regarding why episode 14 is not available. Will someone at Earwolf help me understand what's going on? This is the second episode to be removed (episode 16 - Smurfs, being the first by "reasonable request") and it's making me concerned that this occurrence may become frequent, which would be disappointing and off-putting. I hope to receive a reply soon. Thank you.
Hi I'm Ryan from Virginia I proposed to my now fiance on your minisode!
Dagreatryan posted a topic in How Did This Get Made?Hello, my name is Ryan. I'm not usually the type of person to ask for help or anything of that sort, but at this time in my life I'm in a place I never thought I would be. My fiance just finished a long battle with leukemia, and she just wants to get back in school and be able to finish and move on with our lives. Medical bills are making this borderline impossible and it just seems like it's a never-ending nightmare. Anything you guys can do to help us out would make all the difference in the world. Also GEOSTORMMMMMMMM!!!!!! https://www.gofundme.com/dhwkaf-medical-bills-and-college-tuition
Xchange (2000)
CopKabob replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie RecommendationsOkay so this movie is like Face Off meets Reindeer Games. Starring Stephen Baldwin, Kyle MacLachlan and Kim Coates. This needs to be an episode, its a classic Virtuosity situation where this is a solid "vision of the future" kind of movie that gets so unnecessary crazy. There is also a weird thing that there are several nude scenes but all the woman are very petite and small breasted. I know it sounds odd to notice but it seemed like a choice by the directer or casting. And thats just the start. Let me repeat Steven Baldwin Imdb describes it as "In the future, where it's faster to travel by exchanging bodies with someone at the destination, a man's body is hijacked by a ruthless terrorist." I repeat, Steven Baldwin, is in this movie and I don't think there has been a HDTGM with Steven, gotta check off another Baldwin for the show. Thank you for your time

Last Action Hero (1993)
kimba2488 posted a topic in Bad Movie RecommendationsA cinephile latchkey kid obtains a magical movie ticket which transports him into an action movie. There he comes face to face with Arnold Schwarzenegger, his favorite action hero. Halfway through the film, the movie world leaks out into the real world and the fictional character Arnold Schwarzenegger plays has to figure out how to defeat an over the top movie style villain, but with real world rules. This movie involves Danny Devito as an animated cat, Arnold Schwarzenegger playing himself, a trip to a Blockbuster store and Arnold Schwarzenegger having a full-on Buzz Lightyear-esque existential crisis. It's not really a bad movie, but it's definitely ridiculous. Also, it appears you can watch this movie on youtube.

HDTGM Classics - Live "Posting" Group
Cameron H. posted a topic in How Did This Get Made?Hello Everyone! We've been discussing trying to coordinate a movie watching/live posting group on a semi-regular basis. Considering we are all spread across the globe, we thought it might be a cool way for us to "watch a movie together." So this is an open invitation to anyone who might be interested in joining us. I think the idea, as of right now, is to call it HDTGM Classics. Like many of you, I wasn't fortunate enough to discover HDTGM until around the first Howdies, and while there were a number of movies I had already seen prior to discovering the podcast, there were/are still quite a few that I haven't seen (My Letterboxd List currently has me at 116). Basically, this would be an opportunity to fill in those gaps, socialize with friendly like-minded individuals, and save you the anguish of trying to watch any of these turd muffins alone. However, before we can really get this thing going, we need to get an idea of how many people are interested and where they're at geographically. For example, Cam Bert lives in Japan and I live in the EST of the US. So Friday night for me is Saturday morning for him. I think that's a pretty good jumping off point, though. So I was thinking maybe 10PM EST on a Friday TBD? How does that sound? Once we get a feel for the people interested, we can then discuss which movies (probably from a vote and pool of five or so choices) and how to access them. I think it will probably end up being every person for themselves to get a hold of a copy and then we just synch up when we're ready to go. If anyone's interested, please let me know!

The teenager who was stabbed to death at the Woodley Park Metro station was carrying a knife of his own, according to one of the suspects in the case.
According to The Washington Post, D.C. homicide detective Robert Arrington Jr. testified in a preliminary hearing Friday that one of the suspects told investigators that 18-year-old Olijawon Griffin had the weapon when he was robbed of his designer jacket, baseball cap, and iPhone.
Griffin was stabbed to death in the early morning hours of November 17, after he and a friend confronted Griffin's alleged robbers in the Metro station.
The assertion by the suspect contradicts a 16-second video clip that was shown to the hearing's judge, the defendants in the case, and the lawyers by the case's prosecutors. Others in the courtroom were only able to hear the tape's audio, but Arrington testified that Griffin encouraged his attackers to fight him with fists, while the video does not show Griffin holding a knife.
17-year-old Chavez Myers has been charged as an adult with second-degree murder while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon. Four other 17-year-olds have been charged as adults with armed robbery, and two 15-year-olds and two 16-year-olds were charged as juveniles in the case.
The hearing will determine of Judge Ronna Beck will release any of the teens. It is expected to continue Monday.

I told you about my sudden compulsion redecorate the house, and we're focusing first on the living room and the bedroom. We still have a few pieces to buy and plenty of projects to personalize our space, but we have managed to pick up a few bits of furniture without going broke. There's also a large pile of clutter in the corner that is conveniently covered by some new red drapes. I'm pretending it doesn't exist for now.
Buying furniture without owning a car can be a bit tricky, so for the biggest piece, our new sofa, we went to our local discount furniture place and found this small sectional on sale. It happened to be exactly what we were looking for, so we set up a delivery time, paid the inevitable fee, and waited around for it to show up at our house. You'll have to ask my husband to tell the story about how to remove a sofa from your house that doesn't fit through your door. Let's just say one of my old kitchen knives is definitely useless now.
I also wanted a new TV stand with some storage so I could make space in the living room for a desk. I'm completely over writing all my posts from the couch. Everything that looked perfect was a bit too expensive, so we went to a nearby hardware store and bought a simple, cheap bookcase and a couple of cloth boxes. All together, we paid about $75. Geoff can also tell you a great story about carrying that bookcase home from the hardware store.
I found this jewel blue throw blanket at Ross weeks ago, and decided that I wanted to do our bedroom in blue and gray. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find gray bedding at a discount store. Eventually we managed to pick some up, and I also found some lovely silver gray drapes to lighten up the room. I'm also excited about finally having a mirror and an electrical outlet in the same room so I can actually see my hair while I'm applying hot metal to it.
Other than those two pieces of furniture, we haven't spent more than $20 on any single item so far. There may be some shelf painting in our future. There will definitely be some photograph printing. We might even attempt some art. We also need a desk and an ottoman, but it's all coming together. We've gotten most all our accent pieces from Ross. The trick is to go often and visit different stores if there's more than one in your area.
The rooms are already much better. It feels like a grown up space. It may not be as stylish as a more upscale house, but it suits us. And yes, there's definitely a huge pile of laundry or a pile of shoes just out of frame on several of these shots. It's real life, my friends. You have to work with what you've got.

Comms-care, the provider of channel network and IT support services recently appointed Ben Davies as their Managing Director.
Davies was one of the original founders of Comms-care back in 2002, where his previous role was as Sales Director. He has many years' experience working in the channel where he has shown leadership and strategic direction as a member of the Comms-care board. The decision to appoint Davies as Managing Director was very obvious and unanimous amongst his senior colleagues who were delighted that Ben accepted this key role.
Commenting on his recent appointment Davies explains "I have been at Comms-care since its inauguration and it fills me with pride to see what the company has achieved over that time. To be given the reigns as MD of Comms-care is a great honour and I understand the enormity of this huge challenge. The company has ambitious growth plans over the next few years that will test every member of the Comms-care team whom I am sure will rise to the challenge."
One of Davies' main objectives is to ensure that Comms-care continue to provide excellent service and support to all their customers by maintaining and developing skilled and highly motivated teams across the entire business. In addition, he will also oversee an expansion of services Comms-care will be looking to introduce into the channel that will reconfirm their position as industry leaders in their field.
Davies' appointment will see the role of Managing Director filled for the first time at Comms-care since the sudden loss of their previous MD Scott Yates who died in 2008.
Davies then goes on to say "When Scott and I set up Comms-care back in 2002 we could never have envisaged the success it has now become. It is testament to his vision and drive to become the industry's leading 'channel-only' IT support organisation that Comms-care are where they are today. Looking ahead, I now have the opportunity to build on all that hard work and with the support of our dedicated people, we will be looking to increase our value proposition to all our partners."

Active Learning Trust backs Climbing Frames
The Active Learning Trust academy chain has chosen to use Climbing Frames, a print and digital assessment framework, as a pupil assessment tool to replace National Curriculum levels in all its schools.
With the removal of levels, Climbing Frames has received a lot of interest from school groups across the country that are looking for an assessment tool to ensure their pupils' attainment and progress is measured against the age-related expectations laid down in the new national curriculum.
The tool combines a printed tool kit and digital app to give schools a comprehensive, easy to manage and affordable replacement for National Curriculum levels.
It will help schools to:
- Measure attainment against the new National Curriculum
- Monitor pupil progress with great sensitivity
- Alert teachers to slow progress or disappointing attainment
- Diagnose and target curriculum topics, cohorts and group
- Create consistent assessment across all subjects and years
- Develop evidence-based plans for all pupils, including those with SEN
Climbing Frames helps school ensure that all assessments are inclusive of all pupils. It covers all core and foundation subjects, as well as five pre-levels to help monitor and assess the progress of SEN students.
It also ensures that you can track pupils' cognitive development, as it includes Thinking and Learning Frames, which are also linked to the new National Curriculum's criteria.
There is also a mobile app designed to give:
- Huge admin time savings, so staff aren't bogged down with assessment paperwork
- Clear, simple and precise progress reports for pupils and parents
- Direct links to CPD resources to help teachers plan inclusive lessons and help pupils progress
- Hard data to help your leadership team make evidence-based decisions
Climbing Frames was written by Sue Hackman, a leading expert on assessment and, until 2013, the Chief Adviser to the DfE on assessment and school improvement. The product can be seen at the Bett 2015 show this year on stand C541.

There are the usual comments and things empty nesters notice when their children are gone from the house, the solitude - the peculiar way the way rooms and bathrooms stay tidy. But I've noticed some interesting new habits my husband and I have picked up since our only child has gone off to college.
We've reverted back to Cro-Magnon behaviors of sniffing and studying our food before we eat it. We never simply open the milk jug and pour as we used to do when Emily was home. Instead, we cautiously swirl what's left of the gallon and sneak a whiff to save us the horror of pouring a coagulated sour mess over a bowl of Cheerios. As the weeks go by and the bread bag gradually grows emptier, I find myself holding each slice up to the light of the oven hood, searching out blue-green whispers of mold. Squinting and turning, squinting and turning until I'm relatively certain it's fine.
Our dishwasher is shockingly full of spoons. We've become those people who eat peanut butter on a banana and call it supper. Spoons from dipping into the peanut butter jar, spoons from all the cereal we've been eating, spoons from yogurt. I feel like a terrible person for running the dishwasher because we've simply run out of clean spoons so I throw in our toothbrushes and the permanently spaghetti-sauce-stained spatulas to see if one more round of dishwashing might lighten their orange glow.
I opened the cereal closet the other day (yes we have a closet just for cereal) and I smelled a dead body. After lifting boxes here and there hoping I wouldn't find someone's forgotten fingers, I remembered this odd vegetable we used to eat a lot of "Once upon a time," called a potato. I had to scrape the melted spuds off the shelf with – you got it – our last clean spoon.

Benadryl is not a medication anyone should take lightly. Although you may feel that an overdose on this medication is impossible, this is not true. You can not only overdose by taking too much Benadryl, but you can harm your body in a variety of other ways as well. Read through this article to learn more about the risks of taking too much Benadryl.
Firstly, children and the elderly are the most at risk for experiencing the drawbacks of an overdose. An overdose does not solely mean you are going to die, but that you harm your body to the point where you feel pain. Read the label instructions to understand how much Benadryl should be in your system at any given time. There are detailed instructions for how much a person at a certain age, weight or height should take. Follow these instructions and everything should be fine.
In the event that you or someone you know suspects they have overdosed on Benadryl, what are the symptoms? Well, some people feel and act as though they are intoxicated from alcohol. Others start to actually hallucinate and see things they normally wouldn't before. In addition to this, vomiting is common and can make your stomach upset for quite some time. When a Benadryl overdose occurs people seem to become a bit off during conversations. This can lead to embarrassing moments. Lastly, watch out for deep sleep, oversleeping and drowsiness as a result of taking too much Benadryl.
Although an overdose is highly unlikely it is still something to look out for. If you are taking Benadryl then write down each time and date you take a dose. When someone you know is medicating make sure you check in on them from time to time. At first when someone takes this medicine they feel like it isn't doing anything to their body so they decide to take more. Give your body some time for it to settle and never take more than the recommended amount to avoid an overdose.

Jewish World Review Feb. 26, 2001 / 3 Adar, 5761
Jonah Goldberg
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- HERE in Washington, D.C., there are thousands of foreign officials with diplomatic immunity. Generally, this raises few problems. One hitch, though, is that throughout Washington, foreign diplomats tend to park their cars wherever they want, secure in the knowledge that they'll never have to pay parking tickets or fines. You might shrug and say, well that's just the way the world works. But how would you like it if some scofflaw Frenchie started lecturing America about how America needs steeper penalties and stricter parking rules?
Well, direct that hypothetical bile toward the very real ad in The New York Times last weekend supporting the estate tax. These mega-rich social do-gooders are essentially immune to the tax, but they feel it is important for other people to pay it.
The estate tax, also known to many as the "death tax," kicks in when you kick the bucket. Because the first $675,000 of an estate is exempt, 98 percent of Americans avoid paying it. Because that sounds like a lot of money, many people think that the estate tax only affects the super-rich, and who wants to give a tax break to people whose personal wealth falls into Richie Rich's bracket?
Hence the brilliance of having the world's most famous super-wealthy people lobby in behalf of the tax. As The Washington Post's E.J. Dionne gleefully puts it, "If these mega-millionaires think repealing the estate tax is unfair to average Americans, what should average Americans think?"
Well, they should think they're being conned.
For example, Brett Fromson of the Street.com writes that George Soros, a member of the pro-death-tax brigade, pays almost no income tax of any kind. By exploiting an obscure loophole, Soros parks the vast bulk of his billions in offshore hedge funds. Indeed, Soros, like the illegally parking diplomats, is unlikely to have his estate taxed at all when he dies (assuming he doesn't buy a clone).
Indeed, the super-rich signatories to The New York Times ad have no reason to fear the estate tax bite.
Billionaires generally have a whole kennel of accountants and lawyers who set up trusts and foundations that immunize them from such concerns. Even if they didn't have shelters for their billions, it wouldn't matter. If Bill Gates gave away 99 percent of his $43 billion to the government and charities, his kids would still have $430 million to play with. That's still plenty rich.
"The dirty little secret of the death tax," writes Steven Moore, director of fiscal policy studies at the free-market Cato Institute, "is that the people who are clobbered by this tax are not billionaires. Typically they are ordinary Americans with medium-sized estates."
Family farmers, small business owners, independent car dealers, mom and pop shops on nice pieces of real estate: These are the kinds of people who are unfairly penalized by the estate tax. When they die, their children are often forced to sell the business because they can't afford to pay the taxes on the "windfall." What makes this even more unfair is that the investments that went into the business and the assets in the estate were already taxed throughout the deceased's lifetime, both by capital gains taxes as well as income taxes.
(There's also an aspect that should appeal to liberals. There is a tragic shortfall of family wealth in the black community. If you want more black business, stop taxing them to death.)
Opponents of the repeal like William Gates Sr. - the father of the richest man in the world - argue that charities will be hurt by the closing of loopholes and that the government needs the revenue.
The first argument is plausible but not assured. Lowering taxes creates wealth, and the research is fairly settled that wealth creation increases charitable giving. That's certainly what happened in the 1980s. Despite the tightening of tax-deduction loopholes, individual philanthropy rose from $70.5 billion a year in 1980 to just over $100 billion in 1990 (all measured in constant 1993 dollars).
The second argument - the government needs the money - is simply absurd. The estate tax collects only 1.5 percent of total government revenues. Surplus projections grow daily and, besides, the estate tax impedes economic growth by hurting small businesses.
Gates and Co. say they're trying to prevent the creation of a hereditary "aristocracy of wealth." But that aristocracy already exists. The elder Gates could be its poster boy. After all, he didn't amass his son's fortune, did he?
Ultimately this is simply limousine liberalism. Just as rich do-gooders like Ted Kennedy oppose things like school choice while they send their own kids to private school, they don't mind the government blocking others' prosperity because, hell, they've got

Ong Lai Rabbit/Rabbit Pineapple Tarts
Would like to share some of my Pineapple Tarts which i made this year. Since this is the year of the Rabbit, i tried making some in the shape of the Rabbit and it was quite fun to make especially i had Renee helping me. She was a great help and i should say, we were a great team. When i had the Rabbit's body ready, which was a round piece of dough wrapped with pineapple jam, she had the Rabbit's tail, ears and nose ready for me. Alexander, helped too, he did the egg white wash so that i could adhere the tail, ears and nose. The Rabbits looked great and cute, before they were baked but when they came out of the oven, they had attitute. Some lost their tails and noses and Renee blamed Alexander for doing a shoddy job in glazing. Well, these tarts are handmade and can we expect factory-machine made tarts?
I tried making some other shapes like gold ingots, which i gave up after making a few, cos it took up too much time and it was laborious. Besides it did not turn out so pretty. The pineapple shape was good, easy and fast. The next time around i would use more dough rather than more jam, then they would be better looking.

I had every intention when I opened the computer up to write a review of Judy Blume's Just as Long as We're Together. Unfortunately, my brain just won't allow the thoughts to come out coherently, so I guess I'll just let you know what has been happening in my life.
The first thing that I can tell you is that this semester is turning out to be much more difficult than the last. Much, much more difficult. I'm still taking only nine hours, but one of my classes requires me to do observation hours in a classroom. 75 observation hours to be precise. I was placed at Mayflower Middle School, which is definitely rural. I was hoping to be placed in a more urban or even suburban area. Instead, we'll just see how well I can acclimate to this new and possibly annoying environment.
I'm also in a class called Literature for the Middle Grades. I love this class. I love the books that we're reading, and I feel like the discussions are full and entertaining. The workload isn't too much, but this last week was an interesting one. I had my normal book to read and paper to write, but I also had a presentation that was due. I only had a little over a week to prepare it, and that just isn't enough for me. I get a little OCD when it comes to preparation.
My other class is called Models of Teaching. I love the book The Teacher's Craft by Paul Chance, and I highly recommend it to any future teachers or current teachers out there. However, the textbook makes me need a nap. I think someone may have crushed a sleeping drug and powdered my book with it. It is extremely boring, and I'm not a fan.
The puppies are cute as always, and the snow has made them happy. Tomorrow is a day of cleaning and homework, so I think I might need to get ready to turn in. Lots to do, as always. Maybe the review will come more smoothly in the a.m. hours.
