I am a highly motivated and successful trainer, British, European and World Record holding Powerlifter and Regionals Crossfit Individual and Team athlete who has worked hard to become a strong athlete achieving and reaching beyond my own personal goals.
My determination and constant drive to achieve and progress is what I believe many of my fellow training partners admire and use to help push them to achieve their goals. Previously I have helped others to reach and go beyond their own personal strength and weight loss goals and personal training with Lucy can help you in achieving yours
At school I competed in the 80m and 100m sprints as well as the discus, always coming in the top three for my year. Whilst at University I was lucky enough to reach my purple belt in kickboxing. My determination and endurance was tested and pushed to its limit last year when I climbed Kilimanjaro, showing how perseverance, self-belief and confidence can help you to overcome both mentally and physically testing challenges. I was also lucky enough to achieve my deep sea rescue diver qualification whilst living in Mozambique. Being able to push myself beyond my own comfort zone led to me completing my Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification through Premier Training International, as I wanted to combine my love for fitness with my job. I have sound knowledge in Kettlebell, TRX, Bulgarian Bag and many other fitness techniques. I am also a Level 1 CrossFit coach, CrossFit Kids coach and GP referral qualified.
I believe that my motivation, dedication and passion for fitness will help to motivate and push you towards progressing and achieving your own personal goals. With my background in Kickboxing, strength and conditioning, and fat loss, my teaching strengths lie within these areas. Additionally, I can help you to incorporate as much functional training as possible into your workout routines as these techniques can be utilised in your everyday life helping you to become stronger, not only in your fitness programmes, but also in your everyday life.
With a great interest in nutrition I can help guide and advise you to sculpting and building a fat burning machine of your body, as the transformation of the body happens not only in the gym but also in the kitchen.
I work individually with each client designing a programme specifically for you and your needs, allowing you to reach your own specific goals in a manageable and realistic time frame. All I ask of you is your commitment, determination and desire to improve.
I always strive to challenge myself and improve on my abilities, through constant research and training courses. I believe that you can never know too much and keeping up with the latest training techniques, and even going back to the basics, is what makes me an outstanding trainer. Alongside, personal training I am a fitness and nutrition advisor.

There is a battle for the hearts, souls, and minds of today's youth. Teens endure a constant barrage of mixed messages and lies from pop-culture. Whether it's the "humor" of drug and alcohol abuse or the "beautiful" image of the supermodel, teens are tricked into having a destructive self-image resulting in drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, teenage pregnancies, STDs, body mutilation, and even suicide. More than ever, teens need the clarity, truth, and hope offered by Jesus. This is the battle: to capture the hearts, souls, and minds of teens by the truth and hope of Jesus that they may love Him with all their being and live with all their strength as children of The Father

The fun thing about drawing in public is the conversations. While I sat in the hot son and laid out this sketch, I had to repeatedly sight (with my pencil held up or sideways) the locations of different window lines or the proportions and arrangement of objects. It was a challenging subject to get correct - I wanted to be sure to position the stories correctly, and have the right number, etc. The perspective, as the building rose before me, demanded a gradual shrinking of the height of each layer. As it is, I still didn't get the sides correct - compare to photo below.
A group of elderly ladies and gentlemen were congregated in the shade across the street, talking and having coffee. One crossed the street, came up behind me, and asked, "What exactly is it you're doing when you hold up your pencil like that?" It was an intelligent question, and not one I've been asked before. I described how artists neep to map what's before them onto the two dimensional surface, and they use their thumb or drawing tool to compare proportions, or find half and quarter points, to position things correctly. I showed her some tiny hash marks on my paper, which were dividing the space into quarters, and pointed out that the pencil helped me find which line on the building was half way up, and then a quarter of the way up, and then how many lines of windows and dividers were in between, etc. - so I would get them right. She said that made sense, and she thanked me for the answer.
I only did the pencil work on this one while in the sun. I walked to a table in the shade to ink it in, and then did the watercolor from memory several days later, in a hotel room. I had taken several photos (pasted together here - and taken from not the same spot where I did the sketch, hence the changes in angles) to use as reference for the painting, but I didn't need it. I found I could vividly recall the colors I wanted.
This sketch will also appear on our Durham blog, of course. Top of the Triangle. The bilding is the Suntrust Bank building, one of the older landmarks and taller buildings in downtown Durham. The bull is a big, nearly life size bronze set in a small park across the street.

Life Drawing Aug 25 2011
I've mentioned that I have been wrestling with the washes and lines at life drawing sessions for the last several months. It's felt like starting over, and I've left several recent sessions without a single drawing I cared to show anyone. And it hasn't bothered me - I've been quite content in the pursuit, the chase. The fact that it's been disorienting and largely a mess has pleased me, because it meant I stepped a decent distance out of my comfort zone. I'm learning something new, for me, anyway. That was the point.
Last Monday I fell at the airport (water on the floor outside the men's room). I caught myself on a wall (bruise on my shoulder to show for it) and thought little more of it, in a rush to make my flight. Later, however, my lower back began to hurt, and it's taken the whole week to gradually get better. Last night it was still bad enough that I didn't think I could get through the whole drawing session, and I did end up leaving before the two long poses in the second hour, but I really wanted to go.
So when the first 2 minute drawings came out pretty well, and the poses (one of our best models) were unusually inspiring, I was a bit giddy. The first three drawings were all on one page (first image, above). The next two were not so good (not shown here), but then the first five minute pose was my favorite drawing of the evening (second image, above, leaning on the chair). We roared right on to the rest of the five minute poses (shown above and below, two together and one more on the page alone) - so I didn't get any opportunity to dance around the room, but I wanted to. This drawing is approaching what I'm after with this switch to wash and suggestion.
I sharpen a bit of watercolor crayon into an empty yogurt container and add water. I grab a jar from over the ArtCenter sink and fill it with water for rinsing. The drawings begin with quick, spontaneous work with a flat one inch brush in the wash - 30 seconds or less. Then I picked up a china marker, of all things, and tried to move as fast with the lines. The second image above, my favorite this evening, approaches the mix of line and shape and the balance of stated and unstated that I'm seeking. There are still things I wish were different - but this is more than half what I wanted, and that's a breakthrough. A different part of me is moving the brush, and that affects the later work with the markers.
This last image is the 15 minute pose we did before the break, and before I packed up to leave because my back needed a break. The drawing was actually complete in 10 minutes, after which I stood there looking from the paper to the model and back. I finally added the second layer of wash on the underside of her upraised arm, and the light wash to the right of her navel, careful to catch the shapes of the shadows. Then I added the small splash on the far right because the composition needed a little balancing. Three touches of the brush during that last 5 minutes. I didn't see anything else I could add that would improve the drawing. There were a few things I would have liked to change, but that's not in the rules.
Some part of me has floated all day today on the drawings from yesterday. I kept losing parts of conversations today because I kept drifting back into the spot where these were created. This has approached an obsession; it is becoming even more intoxicating now that I'm getting tastes of where it might go next.
I've done some other sketches (so some relief for those of you who would like to see something beside nudes) and I'm working on the self portrait. But the figure work is the main journey at the moment, and it affects all the rest.

Playing with the Food - Trois
Bonsoir. Etienne has again granted the keyboard to moi, but under condition of telling the story of the market veggie. Deux Poulets brought aubergines to Etienne, from a friend. But voila, they are one "eggplant," as you call them here. Une stem, deux "eggs." This was the invitation to play with his food. Etienne said this has happened before - this is the third time.
So these photographs show the route from vegetable to animal. The lovely purple of the aubergine with a little yellow, like the sun. Etienne says the Sharpie and pencils were right for the turtle, and the finer pen and aquarelles for the petit mason which turtles carry on their backs. Quelle pittoresque.
Ettiene said he has never so closely looked at the segments on the little house. The way they connect and the vertebrae amused him. Back? Shell? Ribs? Mason? Oui.
And are we not all edible in the end? New eggplant friends, potato fish, grenouilles? I have heard that to some even humans are a meal. There are even reptiles which are at the top of that food chain, but, il es regrettable, no amphibiens, though Etienne has told me that the bullfrog Africaine eats mammals. The chain is more a mobius, oui?
Wednesday, August 10, 2011
Late yesterday I dove into a piece of paper, drawing lines with blind contour technique from a number of random photos on the Internet, deliberately not completing recognizable shapes, and turning the page to lay more on top of more on top of more. Here is the end result. I took thirty minutes or longer and turned it and turned it and erased some lines, and drew some more and then I found my subject. Sometimes the subject emerges only vaguely from the lines, other times there is a more definite hint, as there was this time. Almost always I recognize the right theme (or even know ahead of time what it will be about, before the shapes begin to emerge). I have no idea how this works, and (like my typing, which is done with a random movement of three or four fingers on each hand and is quite fast) I don't look too closely or question it for fear it will unravel. I just smile and let it happen.
In this image you can see what I realized (I apologize for the quality of both images - too late I found out the light was insufficient). I knew it would be a self portrait a month ago, before the paper was even stretched. But when I was looking at the lines I had an open mind - ready for it to be four or five other things that looked like they were beginning to emerge. Then I saw the unusual portrait angle and placement just sitting there, and realized it was correct. If you look back at the first image, above, maybe you can see it too (click to see it enlarged)? I was already there. I am deeply excited by the placement because of the composition possible, and because this view taps into something essential and central I know about myself but have never seen in a photo or drawing of me before. I couldn't tell you what that is, but this is it. And I'm excited, too, by how much all of this is true and how impossible it is for me to understand it in any way I can put into words. That's an uncommon situation for me.
And the last thing, then, is to figure out what fills the rest of this piece. What will be the bulk of this page, though not the center of interest. I would grin to hear anyone's thoughts. One of you might even have the same idea I will actually see and pursue in the end... Or more probably, not.

The Journey
Oui, c'est moi. It has been a long while since my last posting. Etienne has been hogging the keyboard, oui? Of course in the pond we do not use expressions with pigs; one who is taking more than one's portion is as a bullfrog. But he has been tres busy and the drawings have come more rapidly than in the past, so he has had more to show.
But it seems there has been less to say? More show, less tell, non? I feel certain, if Etienne's inner artiste spoke, and he has said it is perhaps more French than the rest of him, that it might say things more familiar to this frog. Things this frog might be prepared to share, as well.
Et voila, as with this illustration Etienne has made for me, I have been thinking. Perhaps we make our decisions a little like pants turned with the pockets on the outside. We choose a destination and then this determines the vehicle. We spend much of our time, perhaps the lifetime, journeying hard in this way. Is this how we wish to spend our days? Should we not perhaps choose the travelling companions and coach and then see what destinations are possible? Like the Triplets of Belleville film - he chose his bike and look where he went - she found the Triplets and then her true journey began. (We shall overlook the treatment of grenouilles in this movie, non? Incroyable!)
Etienne sometimes says the tres grande decision of his life was made the right way, pockets side in as I put it. (It is so much simpler for les amphibiens - we have no pockets.) Before knowing much else he chose his cheri. They chose the road and the vehicles together. This has made all the difference.
If I choose to fly, though perhaps not so high as this for my first voyage, then where may I go? Etienne says it might be unhappy to wish for wings when instead we have webbed feet, non? (Though I asked him why I might not have both? Planes with pontoons fly and land on water, why not Grenouille? Flap flap glide swoosh splash!) Etienne says we should dream and wish and reach, but it is perhaps more fun if we can choose a more comfortable vehicle. A hawk may not prosper in a submarine, a goldfish may not truly enjoy a trapeze. Oui, I am more happy on the lily pad than as Grenouille over the Grand Canyon.
Where is the frontier that borders dreams and happiness? Where do you live? Do you prefer to drive, walk, fly or swim? How do you want to get there - where will you go?

HUNTINGTON BEACH – Hometown favorite Kanoa Igarashi continued to show he can hang with the big boys at the U.S. Open of Surfing, the 16-year-old using local knowledge and smart surfing to overtake some of the world's best surfers.
Igarashi was pitted against La Jolla's Jake Halstead, 20, and World Tour surfers Travis Logie and Jadson Andre in his round 2 heat Wednesday afternoon. It was looking bleak for Igarashi for most of the heat — until he caught a wave with about three minutes on the clock, made two big hacks out the back, then hopped his way to the inside for two more big moves, giving him a high score of 7.43.
The wave helped jump him to the lead and knocked Logie, one of the world's top-ranked surfers, to third. Another well-surfed wave at the end of the heat solidified Igarashi's win, with Andre taking second.
As the youngest surfer in the event, Igarashi said he had a lot of nerves coming into the heat.
"There's that pressure that you live here, you should know what waves to get, you should know how to surf the wave," he said. "That was kind of the nerves going through my head the whole time."
Igarashi is still surfing the men's junior event Thursday after making the quarterfinals earlier in the week.
Orange County surfers Brett Simpson and Kolohe Andino found themselves in the same heat late in the day. Andino, of San Clemente, took an early lead with a high 8.33 score and Huntington's Simpson was sitting cozy in second until the other two surfers started putting scores on the board, knocking Simpson to the last spot.
With just a few minutes left on the clock, Simpson took a left toward the pier, then turned for a few hacks on the inside to earn a score of 7.13, putting him in second to advance. The crowd cheered from the pier and sand, and mobbed both O.C. surfers as they exited the water and walked up on the sand.
The women's ASP World Tour kicked off rounds 2 and 3 action early morning, with Hawaiian Coco Ho eliminated in a close heat against New Zealand's Paige Hareb. Ho's score was 13.43, slightly behindHareb's 13.76.
Hawaiian Malia Manuel scored big points in her heat, with an 8.0 and a 7.17, and took out wild card Leila Hurst, a Hawaiian who has been living part-time in Newport Beach. The two are good friends and grew up in Kauai surfing together, but there's no mercy in the water.
"We all want to move forward and keep going in the heat," Manuel said. "It's a big win for any of us girls. It's competition, it's our job."
Tatiana Weston-Webb, of Hawaii, entered the contest in place of Santa Ana's Courtney Conlogue, who had to pull out after injuring her ankle 12 weeks ago. She wasted no time finding waves and doing big turns to put scores on the board against South African Bianca Buitendag, who was eventually eliminated.
"I just really enjoy surfing Huntington no matter what, because of the arena-like venue," Weston-Webb said. "I just decided to go out there and give it my all. I have nothing to lose being the wild card of this event."
Hawaii's Alana Blanchard was up against Australia's Laura Enever, who won the heat with a score of 12.67 to Blanchard's 11.00.
"I swear the nerves never get better for the second-round heat," Enever said. "You don't want to fall, you don't want to make mistakes. You just try to put that in the back of your head."
The women continued through round 3, a non-elimination round that let the surfers let loose in the waves.

What is a Paternity Test?
On behalf of The Law Offices of Cindy D. Sackrin posted in Paternity on Wednesday, April 1, 2015.
We are all generally familiar with what paternity tests are, however, if you are involved in a paternity action or paternity dispute, you may have some anxiety about how they are conducted and how accurate paternity test results are. Paternity testing is used to determine if a man, usually referred to as the putative father, is the biological father of a child.
To conduct a paternity test, DNA testing is conducted on a small amount of fluid or tissue from both the child and putative father. DNA is considered a unique genetic fingerprint which is why it can be used to determine the identity of a child's biological father. Typically blood samples, or cells collected from inside the cheek, are used to test to determine if the putative father and child are a genetic match.
DNA paternity testing is considered highly accurate and can determine that the putative father is highly likely to be the biological father of the child with 99.9 percent accuracy and can also exclude a putative father as not being the biological father of a child with 100 percent accuracy.
DNA paternity testing can be performed before a child is born and can also be performed using a home kit. If the home kit testing instructions are properly followed, the results can be accurate. Home DNA tests cannot be used for paternity purposes in court because they are not properly witnessed and other requirements may also not be met. If the court has ordered the paternity test, it will be conducted by a lab designated or assigned by the court.
To determine the paternity of a child, a paternity action can be initiated with the court and a DNA paternity test can be ordered. Paternity determinations have important implications both legally and emotionally for the child, father and family. Child support and child custody determinations can depend on the outcome of a paternity test which it is why it is useful to understand both the purposes of paternity determinations and how paternity testing is conducted.

Kitten Prices
Prices of Persian and Himalayan Kittens
If you have come to this page, it is most likely because you want to learn about the prices of our Persian and Himalayan kittens.
There is not one set price that applies to all kittens, colors or gender.
The prices are set on an individual basis. Many contributing factors go into pricing a kitten. I know three of the top deciding factors for us here are:
1.) The rarity of the coat color
2.) Facial Structure
3.) Our willingness to keep that kitten back here as a future breeder.
4.) Gender
Our Prices start at $2500 and go up from there due to the sensitive nature involved in bringing these tiny treasures into the world. Know these prices come with honesty and integrity. If there is even the slightest cosmetic flaw in one of our kittens we will disclose that information to our clients. We know buying on the Internet is very scary and we want our clientèle to know your hard earned money and heart is safe with us.
Colors & Size
Some colors & sizes are more in demand at different times of the year also.
While we do occasionally get some standard colors we primarily strive for unique, one-of-a-kind creations that are often thought of as a "Living Art Picasso".
Signature Look
Through the years we have fine-tuned a particular facial structure that sets our kittens apart from many others on the Internet.
This signature look melts the heart of even a hardcore dog lover!
Pricing Schedule
Each and every breeder on the Internet has their pricing schedule; this is widely in part because each of us takes into consideration how much we pour into our kitties and their lifestyle as well as the colors we have to offer. We cat breeders give up a huge part of our personal lives so that we can offer you kittens to choose from. It is like running a kitten daycare center and you can never be away from your home for more than a day or so, so family vacations and such are not an option for we cat breeders.
Sometimes you may run into a cat breeder who has their kittens priced at $500 – $700 each, however, they can only produce a couple of colors like say, blues, and blacks.
The more colors a breeder offers, the higher the price of his or her kittens because the overhead costs are, of course, higher.
One critical aspect to be aware of are the classified ad sites that display Persian and Himalayan kittens for under $500. Nine times out of ten, these are overseas scammers. They steal pictures off cat breeder website's and in some cases will go so far as to copy and paste our very own actual words, descriptions, ect.
They make the ad look very legit, but one little thing is different, they use their e-mail address.
You, as a potential customer, contact the person believing they own the kitten(s) in the photo/advertisement. After all, how would you know that isn't the breeder's actual e-mail address?
They set up Yahoo & Hotmail accounts that are free and quickly disposable. One sure fire way to know the ad is fake, they list apparent high-quality kittens for under $500 so that you will feel like you are getting an awesome kitty at a rock bottom price.
Remember what your mama always told you, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"
Always visit the breeder's website and contact them through there, not on a classified pet site.
Keep in mind when contacting a cat breeder. You come to them with a desire to own one of "their babies" & most likely a large piece of their heart, offending them with lowball offers will mostly guarantee they will exercise their right to refuse sale and NOT sell to you at all. Even humane societies and animal shelters charge $150- $250 for a cat or kitten.
I hope the information on this page has helped shed some light on the prices of Persian and Himalayan kittens.
Each of our kittens has a list price on their individual page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Please Note
Due to the enormous amount of request for additional digital photos to be taken (Even though the ones posted on our site are clear, in focus and nicely displayed) we now charge for this service. Updated and or additional digital photos start at $300. This includes "casual – nothing fancy pictures." This fee is to be paid in full before pictures being taken and does NOT come off the price of the kitten; it is for the digital photos only. Sorry, we do not offer cell phone pictures. E-Mail us HERE if you would like to purchase additional digital photos. Unfortunately, we have been in the business for so many years we have discovered that some cat breeders will price their kittens on their own confidence level in the kittens they are selling so, always listen to your heart…is whispers, so listen carefully.

Location and replacement of the thermostat on the Toyota Corolla is relatively simple and should only take a few minutes to replace. The thermostat is a vital piece of equipment for the Corolla coolant system. The thermostat maintains the engine temperature and ensures that the coolant is dispersed through the engine to keep the vehicle cool and from overheating especially during times of heavy use.
Locating the Thermostat
Open the bonnet to access the engine compartment. Locate the radiator in the front of the engine compartment. There are two hoses that run off the radiator. The bottom hose runs to the water pump and is where the coolant is pushed into the radiator and moves up through the ridges to allow time to cool off. The top hose is the hose that runs to the thermostat housing. Follow the top radiator hose to where it is clamped to the motor and you will notice a housing that the hose is clamped to. The housing can be opened with a socket wrench. This housing contains the thermostat. You may need to remove the radiator hose to access it. Unscrew the hose clamp and pull the hose off the assembly. Once the housing is opened you can pull the thermostat out with your fingers.
Replacing the Thermostat
Cleaning the assembly is a must as there is old gasket material that has melted to the housing surfaces. You can clean this with a putty knife or a razor scraper. Once the surface is clean you will be able to replace the thermostat and put the assembly back together. You will want to apply a new gasket to ensure that there is no coolant leak from the thermostat housing. Place the new gasket on the surface top and make sure the holes in the gasket match up to there the bolts match up on the assembly. Once the gasket is matched up on the assembly you can cover the housing with the top half of the housing assembly. Tighten the bolts back to the housing with the socket wrench. Place the hose back on to the hose inlet pipe and tighten the hose clamp. Take the cap off the radiator to ensure that the coolant level is full as you may have lost some in the process of changing out the thermostat. Place the pressure cap back on the radiator and close the bonnet.

Announcing a "Leslieville", a new history by Joanne Doucette, available June 18, 2016.
George Leslie was Canada's "Johnny Appleseed", owner of the country in the 19th century. His apple trees, grown in this country's largest tree nursery of the time, went across Canada and even both the Atlantic and Pacific to Europe and Asia. His efforts made orchards a major industry and apples a major Canadian export crop. His Toronto Nursery was responsible for trees on city streets and along country roads, in parks, public places and people's yards from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. He promoted sustainable forestry before the concept was invented.
The book also tells of the Scottish Highlanders in the Napoleonic Wars and the Highland Clearances which formed their character and those descendants who played and still plays such a large role in history.
The book tells of the major industries in Leslieville: abattoirs and cattle ranching: growing vegetables, fruit and flowers; and brickmaking. Chapters explore the First Nations history of Leslieville, the life of the early settlers, taverns and shebeens, churches, crime, and so much more.
This book replaces Ms. Doucette's earlier history and includes up-to-date research and extensive new material, including the Leslie involvement in fighting slavery and the black community in Leslieville and much more.
Price $14.00 plus $10.00 for shipping and handling if requested by mail order. Cheques should be made out to "Joanne Doucette" and sent to: 330 Woodfield Road, Toronto, Ontario M4L 2X1. For more info: call 647-236-4980, email email@example.com or visit http://www.leslievillehistory.com

Adobe and SAP team up
Adobe and SAP have announced a reseller arrangement for Adobe's Marketing cloud suite that will open up SAP's more than 200,000 customers to Adobe while at the same time strengthening Adobe in ecommerce and enterprise resource planning.
Adobe's Marketing Cloud has exceeded $1 billion in revenue and has grown at 20% per annum.
Brad Rencher (pictured), senior vice president and general manager of Adobe's Digital Marketing Business, said that he expected this growth to accelerate on the back of the alliance and the new products and functionality added to the suite, most notably its Campaign Manager product.
See the full release below.
Adobe and SAP Team Up to Deliver Insight-Driven Marketing for Enterprise Customers
Partnership Optimizes Customer Experience by Integrating Adobe Marketing Cloud With SAP HANA® and hybris Commerce Suite
WALLDORF, Germany and SALT LAKE CITY, Adobe Summit, The Digital Marketing Conference — March 25, 2014 — SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) and Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) today announced a global reseller agreement targeted at digital marketing and omni-channel commerce for enterprise customers. As part of the global partnership, SAP plans to resell Adobe Marketing Cloud with the SAP HANA® platform and the hybris Commerce Suite. Adobe and SAP will both invest marketing, sales and development resources in the partnership. The combination of digital marketing and commerce solutions from SAP and Adobe will be designed to help enable businesses analyze data across marketing channels and customer touch points, deliver more relevant, contextual customer experiences and ultimately to move one step closer to real-time customer engagement and drive better business results.
"The extraordinary power of SAP HANA gives us an opportunity to rethink entire industries and ultimately help amplify the potential of users from CIOs to CMOs," said Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the Executive Board of SAP AG, Products & Innovation. "Adobe has been an amazing partner on the SAP HANA innovation journey. Together, the Adobe Marketing Cloud and the SAP HANA platform will enable companies to analyze massive data sets across various marketing channels and help engage customers in real time, unearthing opportunities like never before."
"Today's most successful brands use digital marketing to drive their businesses. In this new world, a strong bridge connecting the worlds of the CMO and CIO is a strategic imperative," said Brad Rencher, senior vice president and general manager of Adobe's Digital Marketing Business. "Adobe and SAP, two powerhouses in marketing and commerce technology, are taking a groundbreaking step toward delivering solutions that marketers can use to succeed in today's business environment."
Customers are expected to benefit from the partnership in the following ways:
· Omni-channel commerce: Integration between the hybris Commerce Suite and the Adobe Marketing Cloud will be designed to enable marketers to personalize consumers' shopping experience from brand engagement and marketing to immersive omni-channel shopping experiences.
· Data-driven insights: By uniting the power of the SAP® Customer Engagement Intelligence solution powered by SAP HANA with digital marketing capabilities from Adobe Marketing Cloud, marketers will be able to uncover a 360-degree view of the customer and relevant transactions across paid, earned and owned channels.
· Engaging customer experiences: Integration among SAP HANA, the hybris Commerce Suite and the Adobe Marketing Cloud is expected to enable marketers to engage and deepen customer relationships and help drive revenue across touch points like the web, social and communities.
· Market with speed and precision: By using SAP HANA to help unify, explore and identify high-value opportunities and Adobe Marketing Cloud to drive digital marketing execution, it is planned that marketers will move from data to insight to action faster than before.
For more information, visit the SAP Newsroom."
Comments from Ovum were also sent around:
"SAP and Adobe have announced a joint venture that will see SAP reselling Adobe Marketing Cloud. SAP and Adobe will invest joint development resources for additional product integration and marketing funds for joint co-marketing activities. Retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and telecommunications will be some industry sectors targeted first by the partnership.
Gerry Brown, senior analyst for customer engagement and marketing technology at Ovum comments:
"Although a strong player in the CRM area, SAP has always struggled to deliver a cogent digital marketing solution. SAP will leverage the SAP HANA in-memory database platform and the SAP hybris Commerce Suite with the Adobe Marketing Cloud to provide clients with a complete solution for omni-channel customer experience. This alliance fills this gap in SAP's solutions portfolio, and significantly augments the completeness of SAP's overall digital offer.
"The new partnership will enable SAP customers to leverage data held within their SAP ERP and CRM databases and other SAP operational systems to provide a single real-time view of the customer within the Adobe Marketing Cloud. They can then use the Adobe Marketing Cloud platform to execute relevant and timely campaigns to both market segments and potentially individual customers. This capability is likely to prove attractive to both SAP and non-SAP customers alike.
"Adobe Marketing Cloud, SAP HANA and hybris are the core technologies that drive the adobe.com web site. Hybris and Adobe in particular have a large stable of joint customers. Indeed, Ariel Luedi, the Chief Executive Officer of hybris, and SAP's Global VP Shawn Burns both spoke to an audience of 2,500 marketers at Adobe's Marketing Summit Conference in April 2013.

BONEO AND FINGAL IN 1902, MORNINGTON PENINSULA, VIC., AUST. (Cairns,Crichton, Russell, Williams, Patterson etc.)
Round Flinders and Kangerong, BY VIATOR. "Blow winds and crack your cheeks," but whether the wind cracked its cheeks or not it certainly did blow on Tuesday, 17th inst., when I started on my ride round. Starting from Dromana and on through Rosebud to Boneo (the proper name of which, by the way, is Boniyong), I found all crops looking very well indeed. At present the only crops showing are oats for hay, and with a fair season there should be a good return. Messrs Cain and the Cairns family--or I should rather say- clan and Crighton, have areas varying from 10 to 50 acres under hay, and the last-named has a considerable area under barley for his cows. About 30 acres of the old house paddock of the Barker's estate are under crop so that the purchasers have not lost much time in commencing operations- The blocks sold are all fenced with wire and netting and there is really good feed on the uncultivated portions. The chief business at Boneo, at present, is the milk. Messrs Crighton, with about 40 cows; Cairns and Russell, 20 cows; Williams, 20 cows; McGillvray, the same, besides Messrs Purves, Cairns and others at Green Hills, make up the greater portion of the cream suppliers to the butter factory at Mornington, and were it not for Boneo, I hear, the factory might have to shut down for want of cream. How is it that the Shoreham people do not produce more milk? I They seem to have every advantage-land that will will grow any kind of crop, ro? or otherwise-and yet they seem to make no provision for winter f g. There must be a .... woeful lack of energy on the part of the young men in that part. To return to our matter, the idea seems to have got abroad that all the Barkers' Estate is sold. This is not so. There are about 500 acres at Boneo unsold and 1500 acres about the homestead and a good part of this is really first class land, quite equal to that on which onions are now being grown, concerning which more later on: ' After passing Boneo, we come to Cairns'- in fact, to several Cairns' and Pattersons'-all of whom have con- siderable areas under crop, and, as in the other cases,all looking well. All things considered, crops looking well, good feed and milk a good price, the prospects for Boneo this season are extremely good. The only drop of bitterness in the cup that I heard of was the ravages of the bot-fly, Mr A. Cairns, senr., having lost a valuable draught mare from this cause. Mr Sherlock was called in, but what the result of his investigations are I have not heard. So much for Boneo . (To be continued.)
(P.2, Mornington Standard, 28-6-1902.)
John Cain was the son of Owen Cain who established Tyrone, between Rye and Canterbury Jetty Rd where streets are named after family members (Michael)and maiden names of wives (Murray, Neville). Hill Harry Cairns married the daughter of Michael Cain and his wife (nee Neville.) John Cain owned two crown allotments in Boneo Rd which included the high school site and the historic limestone house just south of Bunnings, in which John's unmarried daughters lived. John also had land fronting Main Creek Rd so he would have passed through Boneo quite often. In earlier days he was the correspondent for the Board of Advice, which looked after the welfare of all the schools within the Kangerong Road District. It is no wonder that Hill Harry became acquainted with a Cain girl.
Donald McGillvray had the land between Little Scotland and the Rosebud Country Club site in 1900.
Edward Williams had land on the north and south side of Browns Rd just east of Truemans Rd. He had a butchers shop in Sorrento but the competition from the H.W.Wilson& Sons must have been too strong and he moved to Eastbourne before 1900 and was looking after the grantee, Sidney Smith Crispo, one of the Peninsula's greatest characters when he died.
The 1902 article mentioned that all the blocks sold on Barkers' were wire netted. The state governmment provided wire netting loans to shire councils so that farmers could protect their farms and the nation. Once a farm was enclosed, the threat within was trapped and could be eliminated. Ten percent of the loan could be repaid each year by the shire but if the farmers didn't pay their ten percent the shire would be short of money for road maintenance. John Cain hadn't been paying his. Firstly, in case you don't know what the threat was:
The rabbit-proof fence was built to protect Western Australian crops and pasture lands from the destructive scourge of the rabbit. Introduced to Australia in Victoria in the 1850s, the pest rapidly spread across eastern Australia. By 1896 it had been found as far west as Eucla and 200 kilometres further west at Twilight Cove, near Esperance. The fence represents a unique, if inadequate, response to an overwhelming environmental problem.
Construction of the Number 1 Rabbit Proof Fence began in 1901. It stretched 1834 kilometres from the south coast to the northwest coast, along a line north of Burracoppon, 230 kilometres east of Perth. Unfortunately by 1902 rabbits had already been found west of the fence line. The Number 2 Rabbit Proof Fence was built in 1905 in order to stem their advance. Stretching 1166 kilometres from Point Ann on the south coast through Cunderdin, 150 kilometres east of Perth, the new fence joined the original fence line at Gum Creek in the Murchison area.
A meeting had been called at Dromana to deal with the council accepting a 200 pound payment by John Cain when he should have paid more. This humorous extract from the meeting report contains a dig at Boneo, detail about some of its pioneers such as Harry Cairns (most likely Hill Harry, who was Michael Cain's son-in-law) and finishes with another dig about Sidney Smith Crispo's Australian Capital City, Federanium.
A report was going about from that famous town of Boneo, from one of the petitioners' own party, that they intended suing each councillor for the recovery of interest. Mr Anderson: Kindly give the name, as the statement is not correct. Cr Clark: Very well, it was James Patterson. Mr Anderson denied that he had spoken to him on the subject. Cr Clark said it was also asserted that the council had suppressed portion of the terms of the settlement. This was at down right lie. (Applause.) He defied any man to prove such a statement. Everything that had been done in private went through the council's books, and was read to the public. Mr Harry Cairns, another Boneo representative, had criticised the council in the Standard for dealing with the subject in committee. Mr Cairns was not an authority upon municipal matters,-in fact he was not aware that he was an authority upon anything. (Laughter.) When a question of law was involved, he considered the council was quite justified in going into committee. (Applause.) He was not siding with John Cain in the matter-it was a scandal that the money should have been owing -but had the council gone to law the first man they would have had to prosecute would have been Robert Anderson. He thought there would have been more trouble to get the-200 pounds out of " Bob " Anderson than there would out of " Jack" Cain. (Laughter.) Mr Anderson : I'm not " Bob " to you. (Renewed laughter.) The Chairman requested Cr Clark to avoid personalities. Cr Clark said there was no more show of getting any interest from John Cain, as there was of Boneo getting the Federal capital. (Laughter.)

Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in southwestern Michigan remains shut down after operators discovered a leak from a water tank Sunday. Officials also found out the day before they discovered the leak, 79 gallons of slightly radioactive tank water spilled into Lake Michigan.
Although the tank has leaked twice in less than a year, officials say there is no immediate risk.
MI Nuke Shuts after Water Leak
CT Nuke Waste Storage Plan OK'd
Feds Keep Close Eye on Three Mile Island
Nuke Fined for Falsifying Records
"There is no impact on the health and safety of plant employees or the public," a spokeswoman for the Entergy plant said, according to the Associated Press.
Having said that, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) officials estimate "79 gallons of 'slightly' radioactive water" flowed into Lake Michigan over the weekend.
The level of tritium and other radionuclides in the water that went into Lake Michigan during the unplanned release was not high enough to be detectable and was well within allowed NRC standards, said the NRC's Viktoria Mitlyng.
"This tank has leaked before. It leaked in 2012. The plant had to shut down to repair the leak to the tank," Mitlyng said. "It's a repeat occurrence."
The leakage in 2012 caused water seepage into the plant's control room. Sunday's shutdown happened after the water tank exceeded a 38-gallon daily leak limit set after last year's shutdown.
The plant is along Lake Michigan in Van Buren County's Covert Township, about 80 miles northeast of Chicago.
In September 2012, the NRC conducted an 11-day inspection of the plant and determined its operators had "adequately addressed" problems identified in 2011. But it said the plant needed additional oversight to ensure remaining corrective actions ended up properly carried out and they would understand the cause of leaks earlier that year so they wouldn't lead to new problems.
The NRC said the plant would undergo 1,000 hours of inspection beyond the 2,000 hours of baseline inspections at nuclear plants annually.

Ten-year-old Luke Torres hopped on to the stage, and the Gahanna Lincoln High School students finally were able to put a face to their cause. His infectious smile and larger-than-life personality would never give it away, but Torres was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010.
Ten-year-old Luke Torres hopped on to the stage, and the Gahanna Lincoln High School students finally were able to put a face to their cause.
His infectious smile and larger-than-life personality would never give it away, but Torres was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010. He has been to Ohio State�s dance marathon the past two years, but Torres was honored to accept an invitation to Gahanna�s.
He was the students� inspiration, and they were ready to dance.
�He took a nap this afternoon so he could be here for the entire time because he was really excited,� said Rachel Torres, Luke�s mom. �Just like with BuckeyeThon, he says, �They need me there to see who they�re dancing for.�??�More than 200 Gahanna Lincoln students crowded into the school�s gym and hallways last night for their first-ever GahannaThon.
The five-hour dance marathon raised $8,067 for the hematology/oncology unit at Nationwide Children�s Hospital, exceeding the $8,000 goal.
The students chose to have the fundraiser, in partnership with Ohio State University�s BuckeyeThon, instead of their normal winter homecoming dance this year.
�One of student council�s big missions this year was looking for a way to bring all the students together for a cause,� said Chris Wagner, the student council adviser. �They also wanted to do something different for the winter formal that wasn�t just a dance.�
Jordan Oberndorfer, BuckeyeThon�s director of high-school dance marathons, said high-school involvement in the cause has really taken off, with four high-school dance marathons in 2012 and six already scheduled this year.
But the Lincoln students brought something special to GahannaThon through their student-group involvement and friendly rivalry with Pickerington over which school could raise the most money, she said.
Brooke Motsinger, student council president and event coordinator, said more than half of the school�s student groups did an activity or performance during the student-organized event.
Key Club had a cake walk, yearbook had a photo booth and Interact Club had a game room, among other group activities. The performances included the marching band and chorale and a dance number by the football team.�One thing we wanted to do was incorporate all the different clubs in our school so they feel like they�re part of it and take ownership,� Motsinger said.
�The goal was to make students feel like they�re part of something bigger than themselves.�
Students raised the money through a $15 attendance fee, by collecting money at school basketball games, by holding a fundraising competition among home rooms and with donations from relatives and community members.
For Luke, this was his first invitation to a high-school dance marathon. The Lincoln students invited him because they were touched to hear his story and those of other pediatric cancer patients that were told at BuckeyeThon.
�I�m excited for when we put up that final amount and we see how many miracles we�ve created, and see the faces of the people and the children,� Motsinger said the day before the event. �That feeling (that) we�ve done something bigger than ourselves to change someone�s life.�

I think the real problem is that the website uses a template system that is hard to preview. The advantage of the wiki is that previewing is easy. The disadvantages of the wiki are a) it's not stored in git b) there's no way to do local editing and previewing c) the formatting is crap It'd be nice to have the best of both worlds, i.e. a wiki backed by git, and written in such a way that users who preferred to avoid online editing could use git to edit it locally, using an easy local preview tool, with strong formatting capabilities (like html) instead of the unhappy situation we have now, where formatting is an unreliable mystery. The other good thing about our wiki is that it has very good uptime and performance (thanks Dimi). - Dan

This is a shout out to all those ladies who have left a one-night stand early because the sex was subpar. It's okay girl, I've got your back. You, my friends, have contributed to the half-night stand revolution: a pop culture trend that I think all men …

Every now and then at the groceries store, I ask to have my purchases
bagged in paper bags. Open up the bag at the bottom and cut out pieces that
fit your scenery situation. There is a seam in the bag, so I use this for
the first layer that won't be seen. I use Carpenters wood glue for securing
the edges in place. Follow the instructions below for a detail of the method.
A paper flap was also glued to the edge of the viaduct and allowed
to dry. This will later be folded over and glued to the other vertical paper
After the photo was taken, more bag material was added at the right
until it met the existing scenery.
You can install cardboard or Styrofoam supports every so often behind
this shell system. I do it only when the scenery is at a more gradual slope
for strength.
One can of foam will do about four square feet of scenery shell. It's
best to have that much area ready so the entire can will be used up.
The top paper is glued at the bottom edge and pulled back for the
The paper on the other side of the track is also doubled and will
be pulled back for foaming.
I will use some plaster of Paris to fill in the gaps like you see
in the photo above.
I spray the unruly paper with water to make it softer for laying against
the foam underneath.
Immediately, the rest of the powder was sprinkled over the still wet
scenery. Then some "Zip Texturing of #1203 Sand & Gravel, #2 Dead
& Alive ground cover, #9 Fine Green Blend Grass and #1205, 1207 Cajon
Rip/rap material. End it up by lightly spraying with wetted water and dripping

MSNBC's Joy Reid walks back comments on conservative David French after bipartisan Twitter beatdown
MSNBC star Joy Reid was forced to backtrack racially charged comments on a conservative commentary after they were mocked on Twitter by users across the political spectrum.
It all started when Reid responded to a piece written by David French that theorized a hypothetical nuclear attack on the heels of the false alarm that occurred in Hawaii last weekend. The conservative French noted that a "strike would devastate central Honolulu but leave many suburbs intact."
Reid apparently failed to read French's actual story that was published in the National Review, instead opting for watered-down, misleading pickups that were published by Newsweek and Raw Story that focused on Trump supporters living in rural areas. The MSNBC host then twisted the already watered-down versions of the story to make it about race.
"We have truly entered the age of insanity when the conservative argument in favor of risking nuclear war is, 'don't worry, it will only kill Democrats and minorities.' Shame on you @DavidAFrench,'" Reid wrote.
Reid immediately was mocked across Twitter for her take. French responded himself, calling Reid's tweet "misleading and ridiculous."
HuffPost reporter Yasher Ali called Reid's tweet "a totally unfair characterization," while National Review reporter Jim Geraghty asked, "Does anyone around Joy Reid have the courage to say to her, 'that was dishonest, and you shouldn't have done that?'"
"The bit that Joy Reid puts in quotes is not taken from David French's story or even from the Newsweek story. She just made that up," Hot Air's John Sexton pointed out.
Reid eventually took notice and backtracked, taking back her "take" and blaming Raw Story for the mix-up.
"Taking back my take on this take - the @rawstory writeup doesn't reflect @DavidAFrench's intent and I think @Aunty__Em would probably agree. David and I disagree on almost everything, but my take on this was off track," she wrote.
This is far from Reid's first controversial comment.
In recent memory, Reid has referred to Trump supporters as "deplorables," apologized for old blog posts in which she made homophobic comments while speculating about the sexuality of former Florida governor Charlie Crist and even said the Trump presidency is the "worst time to be a human" without mentioning things such as slavery, Black Death, or the Holocaust.

So, what's you next step? It's that Second Class badge. Remember the goal you set at the Scoutmaster Conference? Well, now go work and make it happen. Here's some tips for making it easier.
1. Set Goals. Set some short-range goals in order to achieve the Second Class badge. Be specific. Devise a plan to accomplish each task by the date you set. Before you know it, you'll be ready for your next board of review.
2. Be active in your troop. You'll probably be able to complete many of the Second Class requirements with your patrol or troop. Just be sure that you attend each troop meeting, activity or camping trip. And if you need some extra help, ask your patrol leader again for his assistance. He's probably already a Second Class Scout, so he'll be able to teach you the skills he's already learned.
3. Enjoy the journey. As YOU Work toward Second Class, you'll have a lot of fun. The experience is extremely useful! You'll learn more knots, first aid, and other skills. You'll get to go on another hike, and you can help cook the meals. Learn all you can as you do each of the Second Class requirements. Those skills are all very important. They'll help you be a good Scout, and they'll help you prepare for other fun outdoor adventures.
4. Be committed. Your commitment is half of the battle. Once you say you'll do it, it will probably happen. Say again, "I AM going to be a First Class Scout! I WILL be an Eagle Scout!"
You've been to one Board of Review already, so now you'll know what to expect at this next one. Be sure to review the Oath and Law again, however, and don't forget to wear your full uniform. You'll want to look your best. Your Second Class review will be pretty much like the one you had for the Tenderfoot badge. Just relax and tell the Board of your Scouting experiences. Explain to them what you like about Scouting and what you have learned.
At some point in the review, they'll again ask you what your Scouting goals are. They may just ask if you want to be an Eagle Scout. Either way, you can be ready for them. Say it with real conviction: "I AM going to be an EAGLE SCOUT!" As you hear yourself say it, it will help you convince yourself that you CAN do it. Say it again to yourself, "I AM going to be an EAGLE SCOUT!" .
Second Class … a milestone on the Eagle Scout Trail!
Best Wishes on your Scouting Trail!

If not redirected, please click here https://www.thesecuritybuddy.com/iot-security/what-is-fog-computing/
Cloud models for IoT are not designed for the volume, variety and velocity of data that the IoT generates. Billions of connected IoT devices generate a huge amount of data every day. Moving all the data to the cloud for analysis would require bandwidth and time. By the time the data goes to the cloud for analysis, the opportunity to act on it may not remain. And, to address that concern fog computing is developed.
What is Fog Computing and how is Fog Computing different from Cloud Computing ?
The term fog computing refers to extending cloud computing to the edge of an enterprise's network. As said above, IoT devices consume cloud services and generate a huge amount of data. Using fog computing, the data gathered by the IoT devices can be processed close to where the data is generated up to certain extent, instead of analyzing the whole of it in the clouds.
For computing does the following:
Instead of sending the vast amount of data collected by the IoT devices to the cloud, it analyzes the most time-sensitive data nearer to the devices.
It sends selected data to the cloud for historical analysis and longer-term storage.
The fog brings the cloud closer to the IoT devices that collect the data. The devices called fog nodes can analyze the data collected up to a certain extent. Any device with computing, storage and network connectivity like an industrial controller, switch, router, embedded server and video surveillance camera can be a fog node. And, these fog nodes can be deployed anywhere with a network connection, like on a factory floor, on top of a power pole, in a vehicle etc. These fog nodes run IoT enabled applications & can respond in milliseconds. They can also provide a transient storage for a couple of hours.
These fog nodes can analyze almost 40 percent of data being collected. As a result, it minimizes the latency of the IoT devices, offloads traffic from the core network and can keep sensitive data inside the network, instead of transferring it to the cloud for analysis.
Fog nodes get the data collected from the IoT devices and then directs different types of data to different places for analysis.
The most time-sensitive data is analyzed on the fog node closest to the IoT devices that collect the data.
If the data can wait for seconds or minutes, they are sent to aggregation nodes for analysis.
Less time sensitive data is sent to the cloud for historical analysis, big data analytics and long term storage.
Advantages of Fog Computing
There are a number of advantages of using fog computing.
As said earlier, as fog applications can monitor and analyze data collected by IoT devices in real-time, it can enable the devices to respond immediately and initiate an action, like locking a door, changing equipment settings, zooming cameras, opening a valve etc in real-time.
As fog computing can speed up response of IoT devices, it can improve output of the devices and increase safety. For example, if oil pipelines experience a change in pressure, pumps can automatically slow down to avoid disaster.
Fog applications can analyze collected sensitive data locally instead of sending it to the cloud for analysis. As a result, they can provide better privacy controls.
As fog applications process selected data locally, they can conserve network bandwidth and lower operating cost.
Applications of Fog Computing
There are several applications of fog computing.
Smart Grids
A smart grid is an electricity distribution network, with smart meters deployed at various locations to measure real-time status information. These information collected by the smart devices can be analyzed in real time by the fog nodes and enable real-time responses, like stabilizing a power grid in response to a change in demand or other emergency.
Smart Vehicles
Fog computing can be integrated into vehicular networks. Fog nodes can be deployed along the roadside and send or receive information to or from the running vehicles. It can also utilize vehicles on-the-fly to form a fog and cloud and support real-time events like traffic light scheduling, congestion mitigation, parking facility management etc.
Health data collected from the patients are by the IoT devices are sensitive and private in nature. With fog computing, the collected data can be analyzed in real-time locally, instead of sending it to the cloud for analysis. As a result, fog applications can maintain privacy of data in a better way.
Smart Cities
Fog computing can be used efficiently in smart cities. Data collected by the smart devices can be analyzed by the fog nodes to control traffic congestion, public safety, high energy use and municipal services in real-time. Moreover, cellular networks often have bandwidth limits which does not meet the requirements all the time. In fog computing, data can be analyzed by fog nodes locally up to a certain extent and thus can optimize network usage.
Smart Buildings
A smart building may contain thousands of sensors to measure various parameters like temperature, keycard readers, parking space occupancy etc. Using fog computing to analyze the data can enable real-time actions like controlling lighting, triggering alarms or addressing other emergency situations.
Often video cameras are used to monitor public places like parking lots, buildings etc for enforcing security. Data collected by those devices needs a large bandwidth to be able to be transported to the cloud for analysis. Using fog computing, the collected data can be analyzed in real-time to monitor and detect anomalies and respond to it accordingly.

I always buy Reef sandals, the quality is awesome and they always have really pretty styles! xxReplyDelete
Sweet, now I'm just awaiting summer so I can wear cute sandals :)Delete
Sandals are my life! I would open-toed shoes if I could every day (but then my feet would get super rough...) and living in sunny Southern California, that is pretty much a reality! However, I have such a hard time finding a good, reliable pair of sandals (the last good pairs I found were from a J. Crew outlet store). Reef looks like a great brand, and I am definitely considering their Reef Leather Uptown sandal :)ReplyDelete
Emily // ahemitsemme.blogspot.com
These are really pretty. Sandals with poor support are really the worst and end up being exhausting to walk in. I love flowy maxi skirts so that probably what I would be daydreaming about, though, I don't mind winter I must say :)ReplyDelete

Your blouse patterns will consist of several body styles. Don't limit yourself to a basic blouse - how about a flared top or a fitted shirt? All are based upon the bodice block pattern that you have already fit to your body measurements - so you're ready to go! Make a perfectly fitted blouse, top or shirt today!
The basic blouse is an easy-fit, wear-with-anything style.
Whether or not you want to wear this style "as is", it's the basis for most of the other blouse styles you'll make, so do this one first!
You can make it without a collar, as shown, or draft the collar or neckline of your choice. You can also vary the sleeves as you choose - the options are endless!
The fitted blouse or shirt is a simple variation on the basic blouse - just nip in the waist for a more tailored fit!
The draft is also similar to the blouse draft. Add a collar and sleeves of your choice to complete the style.
The basic tunic top can be a pull-over as shown, or have a front or back opening.
Whatever styling details you add, the tunic is a longer, and just slightly more relaxed, version of the blouse.
A flared top or swing top is a fun, casual variation on a blouse.
It can also have a front or back opening, or pull over the head (with a larger neck opening).
Keep the details simple on this one - let the swing of the hemline do the talking!
All of these blouse pattern drafts are for the body style only. You'll find a basic blouse sleeve draft on the basic blouse page, and you can choose other styling details, such as necklines and collars, elsewhere on this site.

More than three out of four California voters think the state's roads and highways are not in good shape, but voters support a proposed initiative to repeal the state's new gas tax law by a five-to-four margin, according to a new Berkeley IGS Poll released today by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies.
The gas tax was approved by two-thirds of the state Legislature and signed into law in April, clearing the way for about $5 billion a year in added state revenues that are dedicated to transportation and road repairs. Taxes were increased by 12 cents per gallon on gasoline and by 20 cents per gallon on diesel.
Starting Jan. 1, vehicle registration fees were raised with owners of vehicles worth less than $5,000 paying a fee of $25 a year, while those with vehicles valued at more than $60,000 paying $175 a year. Monies raised will go to local and regional transportation projects.
Opponents of the law are seeking to qualify an initiative on next year's statewide election ballot to repeal the law.
The Berkeley IGS Poll found that six in ten of those voters surveyed during the week of Dec. 7-16 say Californians pay more for gas than residents of other states and their feelings about the gas tax are largely based on that resentment rather than a concern for the state's roadways.
Ironically, the new poll comes on the heels of news of a decline in gas prices across the country, even in California. U.S. gasoline prices averaged $2.41 a gallon on Monday, down 3.3 cents from last Monday and the lowest price in more than three months. The falling gas prices are attributed to a decline in demand over the holiday season.
Like many of the recent results of Berkeley IGS Poll research, the latest check-in with California voters shows a split largely along party lines. The greatest support (81 percent) for repealing the gas tax comes from registered Republicans, while 60 percent of Democrats oppose the move.
There also appears to be a substantial divide on the question depending on geography. Inland counties support the repeal idea by a ratio of more than two-to-one, but San Francisco Bay Area voters favor keeping the tax.

Pann: Umji seems to know that she gets hate ㅜㅜ
When you search 'Umji' on Naver, her related search terms are nothing positive: "Umji ugly", "Busted Face Friend", "Bustedji"
During the interview portions of music shows, the members rotate who gets to stand in the front over the course of three weeks but Umji stays in the back row for all three weeks.
When asked how to differentiate the members, Umji described everyone as:
Sowon - the tall one
Yerin - the white skin one, always smiling
Eunha - small one with the mic
Yoojoo - the one in the back hitting the high ntes into the mic
Shinbi - the one dancing the most in the center
and herself - the one who looks the most different
When ordered to their most confident pretty pose, Umji didn't make a pose.
Lately, she's been covering her face more and more with her hair.
1. [+85, -16] People are so pathetic ㅋㅋㅋ it's laughable that they're putting her down and judging her for being ugly
2. [+66, -26] I think she's cute with her round face and pretty double eyelids
3. [+63, -25] Honestly, none of the Girlfriend members stand out as pretty or anything... maybe Umji can be the uniquely pretty face
4. [+33, -3] It must hurt her a lot... I'm not her fan but I remember one of my members saying that beauty standards differ to every eye and instead of trying to fit to everyone's standards, it's better to just be confident because fans will love you for who you are. So sad that Girlfriend has to hear things like this when they're pretty.. they're working hard for their dreams, why ruin it for them like this?
5. [+32, -1] It's horrible that her related search terms are like that. Obviously Umji's parents or even Umji herself will look her name up, it's upsetting that they have to see that;
6. [+27, -2] She does look intimidated lately... and I noticed that she does cover her face a lot with her hair on music shows ㅜㅜ
7. [+25, -3] Aw, it broke my heart when she described herself as the different looking one. She's not ugly.. she must feel so hurt inside
8. [+20, -1] I noticed that her hair was covering her face so much yesterday on 'Inkigayo' that it frustrated me but I guess this is why... she's so innocent and cute, I hope she doesn't let it weigh her down..
9. [+16, -0] I remember at a fan signing someone told her that they got her photocard in their album and she asked them if they were going to throw it away... broke my heart. She's a baby, debuted at 18 years old..
10. [+9, -0] She's under so much stress that she started crying the minute Yoojoo praised her over something on radio... it's so rude to say this kind of stuff about a person's face like that ㅡㅡ

Ahhh- yes..........Gravitas.
Because He'd throw a going away party while the Mid-East was ready to go up in flames.
But we won't hear anything about delaying a going away party for David Axelrod last night.
It's reported that Hilary broke away from the festivities because she just remembered to tell the Cairo Embassy to relay something.
