Pte. Peter Farrelly 9th Btn. Royal Munster Fusiliers (d.28th March 1916)Peter Farrelly is named on Loos-en-Gohalle memorial, but name incorrectly spelled as "Farley". This is almost certainly because, to this day, people in his part of Ireland mispronounce "Farrelly" as "Farley". So when he was asked his name it would have been entered on his records incorrectly.Richard Raymond

He died in France on the 7th of January 1916 the family was told he was on a lorry carrying Arsenal to the front line, the truck blew up; as to it's reasons are unclear whether it was a crash or came under attack or unluckily got hit from an enemy shell. He is buried in Hannescamps Cemetry Pas de Calais, France. He had re-enlisted into the Royal Fusiliers, he previously served with the Royal Munster Regiment.Alan Shine
L/Sgt. Harold George Gard Royal Munster FusiliersGeorge Gard was born in 1890. Before joining the army he was employed as a clerk. He enlisted on 9th September, about a month after the declaration of war. After basic training he saw action at Gallipoli where he was shot and wounded in action. This resulted in the amputation of his left arm whilst still near the battlefield. He was discharged as unfit for service in September 1916. He subsequently married and lived a full and active life until the time of his death
Pte. William Franklin 2nd Btn Durham Light InfantryMy Granddad William Franklin was born on 12th. March 1889. He enlisted at Stratford, London on 12th. March 1907 - being his 18th birthday - in the Durham Light Infantry, (2nd. Battalion) no.9960. He served for 5 years of his army service as a regular and then went onto 3 years Army Reserve in 1912.
When war broke out on 4th August 1914 he saw on a poster on the police station notice board, High Road, Tottenham that all Army Reservists should report for duty at once. This he did and re-joined his old regiment and was part of the British Expeditionary Force of September 1914 that went to France and Flanders, "The Old Contemptibles" that distinguished themselves so gallantly in those early battles of 1914, and in 1915 and 1916. He was awarded 1914 Star (5th Aug. - 22nd Nov. 1914), 1914-1918 Medal and The Great War for Civiliisation 1914-1919.
He was transferred to the Royal Munster Fusiliers on 1st April 1917, served in Ireland and was discharged on 1st September 1917 as being no longer physically fit for War Service, aged 28 years and 174 days. He had served 8 years and 110 days with the Colours and 2 years and 64 days in the Army Reserve. His War Service was therefore 3 years and 28 days.
Although The Durham Light Infantry was an infantry regiment, Pte. William Franklin also obtained a Mounted Infantry Certificate in 1907. While he was in the army he married and went on to have 9 children of whom one was my Mum who was born 30th. October 1916. One of the children died during infancy in the 1920's. Two of the sons also went on to serve in the army during the 1939/45 war. William Franklin died in 1973, aged 84 years, having been an inspector on London Buses throughout his civilian life. Most of the family were evacuated to St. Leonards at the outbreak of war in 1939 and he retired there, working part-time as a porter in Marine Court, St. Leonards-on-Sea, having survived the London Blitz during WW2, and lived there until his death.Ray Walter

Both were killed at the battle of Aubers Ridge on Sunday 9th of May 1915. Jeremiah has no known grave and both he and Dennis are commemorated on the war memorial at Bethune.

Ireland's Unknown Soldiers: The 16th (Irish) Division in the Great War
Terence Denman
The Great War of 1914-18 saw the Irish soldier make his greatest sacrifice on Britain's behalf. Nearly 135,000 Irishmen volunteered (conscription was never applied in Ireland) in addition to the 50,000 Irish who were serving with the regular army and the reserves on 4 August 1914. Within a few weeks of the outbreak of the war no less than three Irish divisions - the 10th (Irish), 16th (Irish) and 36th (Ulster) - were formed from Irishmen, Catholic and Protestant, who responded to Lord Kitchener's call to arms. An estimated 35,000 Irish-born soldiers were killed before the armistice came in November 1918. Over 4,000 of those who died were with the 16th (Irish) Division.More information on:

Letters from the Trenches: A Soldier of the Great War
Bill Lamin
Harry Lamin was born in Derbyshire in 1877 and left school at thirteen to work in the lace industry, but by December 1916 he had been conscripted into the 9th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment and sent to war. Harry's letters home to his family describe the conflict with a poignant immediacy, even ninety years on, detailing everything from the action in battle to the often amusing incidents of life amongst his comrades.Throughout the letters, Harry's tone is unwaveringly stoical, uncomplaining and good-humoured. "Letters From The Trenches" is a fitting tribute to the unsung heroes of the Great War who fought and endured and returned home, and the one in six who did not. The letters describe the war through the eyes of those who really lived it, bringing the horrors and triumphs to life for the twenty-first-century reader. Edited by Harry's grandson, Bill, "Letters From The Trenches" tells the moving story of a brave, selfless and honourable man who endured everything that the warMore information on:

A big thanks to Alive Youth Group from Vineyard Church of Rockeville Center for this huge donation of summer goodies! We received many needed items for bringing children in our programs to the beach in this just underway summer from towels and flip flops to frisbees and sand tools!
We and our children are so very grateful to live in a community of such caring and generosity. Every child on Long Island should feel the joy that comes from sticking your feet in the sand. To live on an island with beaches at every turn, we are lucky to have that opportunity!

By Ministry Matters
In a "Peanuts" comic strip, good old Charlie Brown is reading while Lucy swings. He says, "It says here that the world revolves around the sun once a year." Lucy gets this totally stunned look on her face and says, "The world revolves around the sun? Are you sure? I thought it revolved around me."
We all know people like that, people who think the world revolves around them, and when we have to deal with folks like that, one of our immediate responses is, "How dare you?"
I. Attitudes Make a Difference
It is easy to take offense at such an arrogant, selfish attitude. Such presumptuous pride sets our teeth on edge like fingernails on a chalkboard or the thought of a sauerkraut milkshake. Sometimes pride even gives us cause to be humble; especially when we look at our lives in light of the Son of God's sacrifice for us.
II. Our Attitude Should be Thanksgiving
In this letter the author gives a glorious invitation: "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe" (v. 28). We give thanks but our inward reaction to the invitation is "How dare we?" How do we approach God, let alone offer "an acceptable worship"?
A prosperous farmer, while being interviewed by a newspaper reporter, was asked to tell the secret of his success. He told about an old rooster he had observed on his father's farm. "This rooster could peck harder, jump faster, fly higher, and fight better than any other rooster in the place. But he lost most of his fights, even against punier roosters. The trouble was that just as he was winning a fight, he would stop to crow." As Christians we can't afford to let that attitude rule.
A city bus driver had a passenger who was upset about something and let loose a string of invectives that would burn the ears off an elephant. Everyone on the bus was shocked and embarrassed. When the bus stopped and the profane rider got ready to disembark, the bus driver said, "Excuse me, sir, you left something behind." The passenger growled, "Yeah, what?" And the bus driver said, "A bad impression."
When we are haughty and arrogant in our faith and in our witness, all we leave is a bad impression. Does that describe you? When we are haughty, arrogant, demanding, and rude there's no faith and no room for Christ. There's no room for love, mercy, or grace. When there is no room for faith, love, mercy, or grace, then there is no "acceptable worship with reverence and awe."
Our Lord and Savior died for us. Contrary to what Lucy thought, the world doesn't revolve around us. There is nothing for us to be arrogant about. Instead, we're called to give thanks.
The thankful spirit shows reverence and awe. Thankfulness acknowledges that all we have and are comes from God. When we acknowledge that, there can be no haughtiness and pride. How dare we? We dare to come to God, through a thankful heart filled with awe and reverence. (Billy D. Strayhorn)
The setting of the text is a Jewish synagogue on a sabbath. Other than Jesus, the names of the characters of Luke's recorded drama are unknown. The focus is on a person being healed. The intent is the demonstration of the crooked becoming straight at the loving hand of the Lord.
According to the records of the Gospel writers, at this point in his ministry, Jesus was no longer teaching and preaching in the synagogues. On this particular sabbath, he did return to teach. This is the last account of his doing so. His presence in the synagogue where the lady in desperate need had come to worship was for her one of God's divine appointments. Like many worshipers today, she came to "church" anticipating more of the accustomed sameness. Because she met Jesus, she left a new person. And so may we!
The Old Testament prophet Isaiah shouted the need to make the rough places smooth and the crooked ways straight for the coming of the Lord. In Luke's account, a back is made straight at the coming of the Lord because its crookedness is taken away by his healing.
Many today need lives that are made straight by the hand of the Lord. In all the ways of our crookedness, Jesus calls us to wholeness. We can stand erect and straight in him.
I. The Concern of the Lady (vv. 11-12)
The Scripture says that the lady had been "bowed together." This was a term for the curvature of the spine. When Jesus saw her, he called to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity" (13:12 NIV). Also, he laid his hands on her. In his healing ministry, Jesus healed by speaking to the person. He also healed by touching that part of the body that was to be healed. In all likelihood, Jesus put both hands on her back. She was immediately healed, and began to praise God for her great blessing of wholeness.
For a period of eighteen years, she had suffered. Since the Jews traced all evil to the power and presence of Satan, she had been judged as a great sinner. Even as a "daughter of Abraham," she had been held captive. Now, on the Lord's day, in the Lord's house, by the Lord's Son, she had been set free.
Freedom from bondage to Satan, sin, and self is available today through the same Lord Jesus Christ. He is waiting for your faith response to his grace to be free in him.
II. The Complaint of the Leader (vv. 13-14)
Such a miracle should cause rejoicing. Instead, it prompted censure on the part of the president of the synagogue. He was indeed a hypocrite, for he acted as if he had concern for the people. In fact, he was more committed to preserve the status quo than to celebrate a miracle of God.
The implication is that the leader was aghast at the action of the woman, when obviously his tirade was directed to Jesus. He decided that healing was work. Therefore, Jesus had worked on the sabbath. Jesus had broken the strong cords of legalism. Law was more important than persons. Adherence to man's interpretation was more valuable than an individual. The debate still goes on: Law or grace? Legalism or freedom? Blind, unquestioned submission or individual priests unto God?
III. The Compassion of Christ (vv. 15-17)
The Jews said healing was acceptable if the person's life was in danger. The lady's need was not so critical that it could not wait a day to be healed. Yet, God's love is immediate. His concern is always in the present tense. And his love is ever now! Out of his constant compassion, Jesus brought new life to her. He did it in the today of her life when, so often, we delay to another day to express our love and care in the life of one in desperate need.
The text ends with a party. The party poopers have been "put to shame." The people are rejoicing at the glorious thing Jesus had done. The lady who stands at last erect, strong, and straight is leading the parade. (John Lee Taylor)

Texarkana 67 Speedway, Texarkana AR - Track #209
Expand Messages
- Last night I went to Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana Arkanasas. The highlight of the nigh was supposed to be the 305 Sprints, but due to a pretty iffy weather report they canceled, but the track decided to solider on without them. Since Arkansas would be a new state for me, I am glad the did. One thing the track did was gave the modifieds off with the sprints on the agenda. So no Sprints and no top division. That was okay with me, but they probably should have lowered the admission price from there normal amount, but still $10 isn't bad.
They started the show about 15 minutes late, but I think that was because it took them that long to run in the track after the rains the night before (and possibly during the day). After that, they ran the show off pretty quickly with only a very short intermisison. It was mostly different street stock divisions plus a race for about 7 limited modifieds. The racing was good, the officiating good (no quick yellows, no favoritism that I saw - a popular driver through his helmet at another competitor's car and they said he'd be watching from the stands for the next 2 weeks). With the rainy forecast and lighting in various directions around the track, the racing kept moving and was over in about 2 hours. The motel I was staying at about 10 miles from the track obviously had a down pour during the races judging form the puddles, so luck was with us.
And after flooding out last Fall on my trip to Arkansas, I'm glad to get state #47 in the books. All-in-all, another well run, enjoyable show for lifetime track #209.

Shariyat and Country Liquor in West Bengal
Nurul Islam, alias Khoka (Khokon) Badshah Is the Main Culprit.
Since Long In Mograhat, Selim And Nurul Are Government.
Both Are Still At Large.
People Think They Are In Safe Shelter Of Some Politicians (blessed by) or The Other.
Both Politicians And Police Are Financial Beneficiaries.
Police Thinks That It Is Futile To Arrest Muslim Culprits For Obvious Reasons.
Therefore, What's Harm Taking Money From Them!!
Politicians Think, These Muslim Culprits Will Fetch Them Both Money And Vote.
Moreover, These M – Criminals Will Supply Them The Much Needed Muscle Power To Silence The Opposition. This Technology Was Mastered By The Leftist Parties the art borrowed from their foreign counterparts, Not Only CPIM, But Also Forward Block, RSP, SUCI, etc.
Therefore, Shed Some Crocodile's Tear After Any Major Mishap, Let The People Shout For Sometime. Everything Will Be Okay In Due Course.
In This Horrible Mograhat Case, Mamata Banerjee Opened The Treasury Of State Govt., As If It Is Her Own Money And As If, The Dead Persons Are Martyrs For Some Great Cause. Every Victim Will Get 2 Lakh Rupees Hard Earned By You And I as compensation for their fun though, they claim, consumption of liquor is against Shariyat law.
People Are Compelled To Think That This Large Heartedness Only Because Almost All The Victims Are Muslims.
She Does Not Think What A Dreadful Bad Precedence She Has Set For Future References.
If This Is Not Muslim Appeasement, Then What Else?
This Naked Muslim Appeasement Will Take Our West Bengal To Which Disaster?

Bangladesh - The Vested Properties Return Act, 2011
Vested Property Act in
In accordance with researches, the nefarious decree was made to repress Hindus and strip them of all of their possessions and thus make them get lost in the oblivion. It is also reckoned, 75% of all Hindus lands in
For all these reasons, it is largely expected, The Vested Properties Return Act, 2011, endorsed by the Parliament of Bangladesh, will perform a historical job by returning property confiscated from the country's vast minority Hindu population.
Well, there is also a word of caution. As some Hindu organizations have started to state that the Bill has failed to gratify their decade-old aspirations altogether, it must be seen whether something effective takes place ultimately or it draws flak only.

Minority Community in Bangladesh not safe
The condition of Bengali Hindus has never been safe in
What remained after that was in fact a minuscule population of Hindus that has been dwindling with each day on account of mounting state repression and atrocities of Islamic community.
The present situation is out of the frying pan into the fire – from the sizeable 29% population in the whole country in 1949 Hindu community in Bangladesh has come down to mere 8%, if not less.
Atrocities continue without respite.

Hindu Samhati's 4 th Annual Convention resolves to strengthen Hindu Struggle
Hindu Samhati organized its two-day long 4 th annual convention at Malia, Hamiragachi, District: Hoogly, Bengal on 10-11 December, 2011 and with the presence of organization's combative leadership and hundreds of selected bellicose activists across the state, the conference truly turned into a festival of the masses. While the meeting was presided over by Sri Tapan Ghosh, president, Hindu Samhati, Dr. Arun Giri, Pradip Das, Sunil Munshi and Sundar Goap Das, other dignitaries were also found to grace the meeting from time to time.
Discussions on an assortment of crucial (reigning and also upcoming) issues were done meticulously and apt interactions between activists and leadership on how to deal with a situation and overpower adversaries and thus secure Hindu causes took place more often than not.
"Jai Sri Ram" slogan rocked the conference and its environs by and large. 4 th annual convention ended with a firm resolution – to defend every Hindu cause and dedicate one's own self for its excellence.

Hindu villagers in Sankrail, Howrah face worst
Islamic predominance resolute to destroy Hindus
District of Howrah in Bengal is one of the greatest havens of Muslim rowdies and crooks – this is not any new info but surely how predominant Muslim areas there are engulfing neighboring pocket-size Hindu areas (slowly but steadily) is a new issue that must be dealt with much gravity. This significance derives its strength from the one and only apprehension – complete absorption leads to cessation of Hindu identity in the same area and its environs once and for all – deepest crisis being faced by Hindus in Kamdevpur, Sankrail (South), P.S. Sankrail, District: Howrah.
The Hindu village, encircled by antipathetic Muslim villages, is getting more and more vulnerable and two successive Islamic assaults have scared it on the whole. While one of them is the assault on Hindu houses on Muharram (December 06, 2011) by Muslims moving forward with the Taziya, the second is the destruction of Shitalatala temple (on December 08, 2011) in the village by Muslim rowdies, known for their rampage in the neighborhood.
It has been learnt that on the day of Muharram an Islamic procession (armed also) with Tazia, led by infamous Muslim rowdies like Asgar Sheikh, Aftar Khan, Jamir Sheikh, Rabial Khan, was passing by (at 7.30 pm) the houses of Bhuto Malik and Boku Malik (both Hindus) and intentionally destroyed hay-made fence of Bhuto and cowshed of Boku. An FIR has been filed against aforementioned persons and their accomplices at the local police station.
The second case – the more dreadful one, happened on December 08, 2011 when villagers, in the early morning, found that the indigenous Shitalatala temple had been destructed. In accordance with villagers, the demolition took place between 2-3 am at night. FIR, in this regard, has also been lodged.
Now here is a question. Why is Hindu-Muslim relation in the village at an all-time low? A meticulous investigation has brought to the fore some cruel yet highly imperative facts. It has been learnt that Muslims, in spite of enjoying their predominant position for years, started to pass by Hindu area with Tazia on every Muharram day only three years ago and it was to teach Hindus a lesson. What are the faults of Hindus? Hindus in the village, on every year, celebrate Kali Puja and make a grand procession (with official permission) to immerse the Holy Deity. The procession, by coincidence, goes past the local Singhamara Masjid and this irks Muslims and also provokes them to teach Hindus a lesson.
Destruction of the temple is a new beginning, done by Muslim cronies to test nerves of Hindus. There may be innovation in next approaches, depending on the ongoing experiment.
Police is patrolling the village of Kamdevpur at this point in time. What will happen to Hindus once the police force is withdrawn?

Chengail witnesses Islamic onslaught on Muharram once more
Muharram happens to be the first month in the Islamic calendar and is also one of the four most sanctified months of the year wherein fighting remains proscribed. The diktat is certainly appreciable but surely it does not entail confrontation with infidels; Muharram happens to be an occasion in
It was 5.30 pm yesterday (December 06, 2011) at Nimtala, Chengail, P.S. Uluberia, when a large religious procession (Tazia) of Muslims marking Muharram, escorted by police, was passing by the area. A large number of observers were there including lots of Hindus, busy in chit-chat among themselves. Nevertheless, one issue dominated most – it was the dearth of apposite compensation of last year's attack on Hindus (Islamic onslaughts on Hindus in Muharram have become common in Chengail almost by now). Muslims in the procession did hear this; while a few of them warned Hindus of dire consequences, others, being belligerent more, stated in public that Hindus would be taught a lesson within the next 2 days. Strikingly, all these took place before police personnel manning the crowd.
And the warning was not a prank in any way. Today (December 07, 2011) at 9.30 am 6 Hindu shops, in Aimabazar – 1, positioned close to Nimtala, Chengail, were attacked by a Muslim mob and burnt down within a few minutes. Some of these happen to be sweet shops of Paresh Maity and Dayal respectively, cloth shop of Manoranjan and vegetable shop of Tarun.
The situation was highly explosive and fearing more Islamic attacks in due course Hindus started to defend themselves; as a part of defence, 2 Muslim shoe shops, decorative and profitable, were reduced to ashes. Noticeably, Muslim attacks died down eventually.
RAF has been deployed to quell any form of ruckus and violence in the area.
As per fresh reports, lots of Hindu houses in adjoining Shantinagar have been destroyed. It has also been learnt that Muslims are preparing for a wild attack and it will commence once RAF is withdrawn.

December 06 – Hindu Shaurya Day
Chances do come rarely in the life of any individual or any nation or nationality. And to express own worth, stabilize identity one must exploit it best – an eternal truth; the same was done by Hindus on December 06, 1992 through demolishing Babri Masjid, devilish structure on Sri Ram Janmabhumi (birthplace of Sri Ram) throttling Hindu confidence for centuries, to break shackles of Islamic dominance once and for all in India.
What followed was a stream of blood, initiated by Muslims to teach Hindus a lesson for the lifetime for such a daring act and responded by valorous Hindus committed to ideology of No Surrender. A domino effect of it was witnessed in neighboring countries of
It was Babur, the first Mughal emperor, under whose guidance the infamous mosque was built in Ayodhya, regarded as one of the holiest cities of Hindus (being the birth place of Sri Ram) across the globe, in 1527 and was also named after him. There have been lots of other mosques in the neighborhood but the significance of the disputed site always used to highlight the structure. From the very beginning myriad Hindu accounts have been confirming the mosque to be built destroying an ancient temple dedicated to Sri Rama.
To find a definite solution out, a series of archaeological excavations, under the auspices of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), took place in 1970, 1992 and 2003 and each and every report has mentioned the existence of an extensive Hindu complex in the disputed site only. Only in 2003, being ordered by the Hon'ble Court of India, ASI conducted an in-depth study to ascertain the kind of structure existing beneath the wreckage and it stated officially the presence of " distinctive features associated with………… temples of north India." It also stated, "stone and decorated bricks as well as mutilated sculpture of a divine couple and carved architectural features, including foliage patterns, amalaka, kapotapali, doorjamb with semi-circular shrine pilaster, broke octagonal shaft of black schist pillar, lotus motif, circular shrine having pranjala (watershute) in the north and 50 pillar bases in association with a huge structure."
Without a shred of doubt, the findings of ASI have sent a shudder through the spine of Indian brand of secularism that has compelled its greatest votaries to term the entire report as concocted. The Union Government of India is too afraid to come to a final conclusion, being apprehensive of the resurgence of true Hindutva force in Indian populace once and for all.
Here is a question. What do all said findings of ASI authenticate? It deduces one conclusion only; the entire Babri Masjid was an expression of Islamic triumph on the land of Hindus and to exhibit the ultimate supremacy of Islam over Hinduism – an intrinsic trait of the religion (political treatise is perhaps a better word!). And what Hindus did on December 06, 1992 was not a crime in any way but a religious job – fulfillment of aspirations of their predecessors.
Demolition of Babri Masjid was the perfect expression of Hindu "Shaurya" or valor that has got to be repeated at every time when Dharma is in danger – Hindus are just following footsteps of their proud ancestors.
Idam Brahmam Idam KshatramShapadapi Sharadapi.
No nationality is as vulnerable as Hindus, suffocated by the devilish nexus of Christian colonialists, perpetual Islamic adversaries along with Hindu treasonists completely, at this time throughout the globe. And without doubt, the crisis is increasing with each day it passes.
Is it impossible for Hindus to break these shackles and emerge as truly independent after centuries of thralldom (slavery)? Hindu activism and assertiveness is the need of the hour. But it is also not an easy task. How can all these be done in one go?

Statement on Mograhat Incident
2 Muslim women died in police firing on 1 December: Police Must Not Be Blamed.
It is for the first time that the state govt. dared to take an absolutely correct and legitimate step to stop Electricity theft by Muslims which is most common in all Muslim majority areas of West Bengal. I congratulate Mamata Banerjee for her exemplary courage. Hindus appreciate Mamata for this and future effort to stop all type of illegal and criminal misdeeds of Muslims all over West Bengal.
Now CPIM and Congress will surely jump in the scene and will try to fish in the muddy water. In this case the 'fish' is minority vote. So, they will suppress the fact that Muslims were stealing the electricity, and it is their regular practice all over West Bengal and all over India. They will try to gloss over that the very life of 25 people (16 were employees of WB State Electricity Board and the rest were Police personnel) were in great danger, as the mob had surrounded them after blocking all the connecting roads to that area, and were intent upon beating the Govt. personnel to death. These vote hungry parties will also suppress that how violently "ordinary" Muslims, not the "criminal" Muslims, attack the administrative personnel when they try to stop illegal activities in Muslim areas and enforce the law.
In the most communally sensitive district of South 24 Parganas, where Muslim population has exceeded 35 percent and where TMC first got its electoral success by wining the Zilla Parishad even before its last parliamentary election success. And made Shamima Bibi the Sabhadhipati of Zilla Parishad (Chairperson of District Council). Muslims have been shocked most by the unexpected behavior of police. After being sure of Mamata's attitude or intention, their 'majhabi' and political leadership decided to confront it head on. Hence, this (Mograhat incident) is 3rd major clash between Muslim and Police within a span of 38 days in this district. First was attacking Kulpi Police Station and its family quarters on 26 October, second was attack on the police team of Jibantala P.S. by a violent Muslim mob when police caught a notorious criminal Kutubuddin, and the third is Mograhat.
After this untoward incident of Mograhat, surely Mamata Banerjee will be in a tricky position. To quell the situation, she has to take some steps which will displease many, particularly the pro Hindutva supporters and activists, and also the police personnel. This development is a defining moment for her. Let us hope that she successfully gets out of the tricky situation and governs the state smoothly.

Muslim mob bombs, crushes police personnel in Nainan, Mograhat
Police attempted to stop hooking of electricity there
Hooking of electricity has become a common practice in the Muslim-dominated areas throughout District: 24 Paraganas (South); village Nainan, P.S. Mograhat is no different and if the government officials dare to call this illegal practice a halt even for once, (violent) battering or thrashing waits for them only.
All these have taken place when responsible officials belonging to Board of Electricity went to Nainan along with police personnel of P.S. Mograhat to stop hooking today itself and they were attacked by a violent Muslim mob. To quell the fast increasing violence, RAF was deployed and police, as a part of self-defence, fired upon the violent mob leading to the death of 2 Muslim women. 22 people including 16 police personnel are critically injured. As per fresh reports, 6 police cars have been torched.
Is this an isolated incident? Even if the reigning government and its secular Left opposition love to term this as a stray incident, reality depicts that situation is out of the frying pan into the fire. Several recent incidents including attacks on police in Dalanghata near Diamond Harbour, ransacking of Kulpi police station (http://hindusamhati.blogspot.com/2011/10/armed-islamic-gangs-run-riot-in-kulpi.html), inhuman thrashing of police personnel of P.S. Jibantala (http://hindusamhati.blogspot.com/2011/10/does-jibantala-ink-hindu-obituary-in.html) and now of P.S. Mograhat in village Nainan prove how Muslims are dauntless and have virtually declared a war against police and administration in District: 24 Paraganas (South).
Without a shred of doubt, this form of Islamic Jihad is going to increase only in the coming months by leaps and bounds, unless checked.
Two Muslim women, Saheba Bibi (age 32) and Rezina Khatun (age 14), have died owing to police firing.

Rosa Clará opened the 25th Barcelona Bridal Week with a 2016 collection filled with contrasts and subtleties that emphasise the essence of female beauty.
The white dress immortalised by the great divas of the 1930s and 1940s provides inspiration for a line of flowing gowns that sensually and delicately trace the lines of the female figure. Each dress is packed with stunning details like richly textured embroidered beaded brooches.
A second line draws inspiration from the full crinoline skirts of the Victorian era, bringing contemporary styling to a classic look. These skirts' lightweight fabrics give them spectacular volume, and combining them with a dazzling range of knit tops and blouses blends formal sophistication with a touch of youthful spontaneity.
The clean sculpted lines that characterise Rosa Clará designs are enriched with patterning and silk brocade texture to produce highly contemporary straight- or full-skirted gowns.
In the 2016 collection, Rosa Clará brings the latest international catwalk trends to bridalwear, introducing crop tops, blouses and beaded embroidered detailing, among a host of other features.
Rosa Clará continues to innovate in the choice of premium-quality fabrics she combines in her designs. The firm's prestige rests on its use of 100%-natural fabrics like silk brocade, traditionally woven lace, crepe, muslin, crepe Georgette and silk organza and mikado.

Times Econ Reporter Goes Broke, Teaches Valuable Lesson About America
Today in the New York Times Edmund L. Andrews explains how, despite his training and experience as an economic reporter, he fell disastrously into debt -- and also, perhaps inadvertently, how this great country of ours really works.
His reasons: he was in love ("Patty was brainy, regal, sexy, fiery and eclectic"), and wanted to give his inamorata and himself a $460,000 Silver Springs, Maryland home to consecrate the bond. Andrews was still paying child support to a previous love of his life, which put a bite in his $81K take-home pay*. But it was the mid-oughties, when everything was groovy, and his broker at American Home Mortgage ("I am here to enable dreams") was willing to do business at a reasonable, if unfixed, rate, telling him not to worry about the large payments, because "the value of your house will be higher in five years." (In the movie version, this will be the equivalent of a montage of jazz-age flappers driving jalopies with their feet while drinking bathtub gin.)
To make the complex plan work, Andrews had to cash out his Times stock -- so, you see, there is a silver lining.
But while house-rich, the couple became cash-poor, which caused problems: Patty "refused to scrimp on top-quality produce, Starbucks coffee, bottled juices, fresh cheeses and clothing for the children and for me," though Andrews was running out of money before paydays. He began using his overdraft protection and accumulating outrageous fees ("$5 overdrawn because of school supplies for Patty's daughter Emily -- $100 from the MasterCard"). He tried rotating his credit cards to get a better rate but, like many who have done that, wound up deeper in debt with worse rates. Edmund and Patty were tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

Here our favorite line occurs: "Granted, the beach house was an embarrassing mistake."
AHC's answer: a new sub-prime mortgage. (Cut to an old Berliner sighing, "This Hitler will be the death of Germany, mark my words.") "The paperwork was so confusing," admits Edmunds, "that I was never exactly sure who was paying what." Things got better, but not better enough that Andrews didn't have to borrow "shamefacedly" from his mother. Then Patty lost her job. The debts were now absurdly out of control and so were the life partners ("What I saw as an uncontrollable moment of panic, she saw as another deliberate attempt to browbeat her").
Eventually they just stopped paying bills. Fortunately the economy collapsed, and "the rest of the world was falling apart so fast that [JPMorgan] Chase barely had time for us." We leave our heroes in limbo: obviously not off the hook, but reprieved by the inattention of their debtmasters.
You have to read Andrews' book, Busted: Life Inside the Great Mortgage Meltdown, to get the whole story. But we are betting Patty and Edmund don't end up hobos. The Obama Administration is basically trying to work things so that they and all the other folks who succumbed to the unlimited growth fantasies of the late age can remain in their palaces. People may squawk about big government, but nobody really wants these houses cleared out to stand empty or, even worse, be rented at "market value" far below what everyone wanted to believe they were worth. Why, that would be like New York in the 70s, when ordinary people could afford to live in the East Village! Next they'll be living in Silver Springs!
Andrews' story purports to show how nice, educated, "middle-class" (that is, pretty rich by our standards) people could get caught up in the meltdown. But actually they were the kind of people who had to get caught in it: people who had been trained to think of themselves as representative of their society, their middle-classness pandered to by every politician, had to live in a manner that befit their status. And the people to whose benefit this society is actually run -- hint: it ain't the poor -- were willing to sustain their illusion, so long as they could make an ever-increasing amount of money off it. And who, in the age of unlimited avarice, was going to say they couldn't? None of those enablers are worrying about how they're going to pay a mortgage -- some because they are now wards of the state, but most just because that's the way the game is rigged.
And the middle-class folks they suckered are left to analyze (sometimes, as with Andrews, at eloquent length) their actions and try to figure the psychology of the thing, when their musings are actually about as meaningful as such thoughts might have been had they magically occurred to Pavlov's dogs.

Author has written 8 stories for NCIS.
Hullo, I don't know why there's a little American flag in my bio, but I suppose it was because I was in the United States when I became a fanfiction writer. I got into fanfiction a couple of years ago. I typically, before a trip, copy and paste about sixty stories into a Microsoft Word document and then read them on the plane.
My absolute favourite TV shows are NCIS, 24, Glee, West Wing. I am a big Zibbs fan, most of my favourite stories are Zibbs-y, but I have begun enjoying McGiva thanks to a wonderful story called "The First Time." I don't like Tiva much, but once in a while there are some Tiva stories that are so wonderful and cleverly written that Tiva becomes much more palatable. There is one by Rekiddbraka, and it is very enjoyable because it is so long. I write angst, hurt/comfort, but I like fluff. Zivacentric, that's for you.
A funny story -- I got into NCIS because I was in Heathrow and the security guard asked me for my autograph. I didn't understand why, but then he explained to me that he thought I was Cote de Pablo, a big compliment. Then, I was in the States, and I got stopped by a couple of teenage boys who thought I was her. I researched Cote and I found NCIS... And the picture I uploaded does look rather like me, if I do say so myself.
English is my eighth language (yes, you read that correctly, my eighth) so please tolerate my awkward syntax. As a non-English speaker, grammar concerns me terribly and I don't like spelling mistakes, for there is spell check on your computers. For those who are interested, I speak: 1) Hebrew 2) Arabic 3)French 4)German 5)Italian 6)Flemish 7)Piglatin (just kidding) 7)Greek 8)English 9) Spanish
Writers I absolutely adore are: Ishty, Sherezad, MollyGibbs101 and Zivacentric. I especially loved the stories My Uncle Benjamin and Revelations.
The Ships I like:
Nate/Kensi (where the heck is Nate?)
X-over, NCIS/NCIS LA (only plausible crossover that could be)
Sam/Mercedes (c'mon, bi-racial is awesome!)
Puck/Zizes (love that he falls for the heavy, size doesn't matter)
Rizzoli and Isles
Well, Rizzoli and Isles... They would be the best lesbian couple on TV
And yes, folks, I am Israeli and so the Hebrew in my fics is my own. I am just curious to know what everyone who is a non-Hebrew speaker does in all of their fics. If you speak Hebrew, please leave me a post. I am just intrigued. (I am intrigued that you are intrigued that I am curious….)
Something I saw on somebody's bio and I thought I might as well use it…
You know you are into NCIS when…
Your dog goes missing and you say, put out a BOLO
When you watch those NCIS music videos and you know every word the characters are saying, the episode it is in, and what time in the episode it occurred.
If I bring up any music, I do have a passion for it, I was the leader of a glee club in High School. Please read and review my stories, for I do enjoy them very much.
Also, I would like to write some stories in Hebrew but I do not know if there is a demand for them. Please message me if you would like one.
Found this while I was researching for my story. Like a trip down memory lane for those who have seen all the episodes!
Update: 30/6: Thanks for all the reviews for "Classically," and the "Gibbses, Version 4.0" is coming back, revamped, reconstructed, redited, rethought, re-everythinged. It will be like "Extreme Makeover: FanFiction." Should be up (no promises, though) by Tuesday. And Americans, happy July 4th
Update: 6/7: Wow, so many reviews for "Illuminated." I'm really thankful that y'all are sticking with me while the story got angsty. For the McGivers (that's someone who ships McGiva), "Raining" is being worked on as you read this. So is "The Gibbses, Version 4.0"... Song requests of all types are being accepted currently. :D
Update 10/7: So, a lot of people miss Kate... on my most recent trip to the US I just discovered she's the new Ducky on a show called Rizzoli and Isles... and she's a blonde! Fascinating... its pretty funny and I suggest you watch it...

Rangers suspended Hill "until further notice" for his part in the incident, which left China player Zheng Tao with a broken jaw, during the match at Rangers' south-west London training ground on February 7.
A statement on Rangers' official website, www.qpr.co.uk, revealed that "an internal investigation into the matter continues".
The FA's statement read: "Queens Park Rangers FC have been charged following a brawl involving their players and officials and members of the Chinese Olympic team, which occurred during the training match on February 7.
"The charge alleges that the club failed 'to ensure that its players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refraining from violent and/or threatening and/or provocative behaviour'.
"Assistant manager Richard Hill has been separately charged with violent conduct.

Handouts There are 3 handouts needed for this Classroom Module – Opportunities to Respond Guided Notes – Review of Opportunities to Respond – Opportunities to Respond Fact Sheet
Effective Classroom Practices
Outcomes At the end of the session, you will be able to… Explain to others the power of positive and proactive strategies in establishing an effective classroom learning environment. Incorporate high response opportunities into your classroom teaching. MO SW-PBS
"When teachers know and use positive and preventative management strategies, many of the commonly reported minor classroom behaviors can be avoided." Scheuermann & Hall "Effective classroom management is a key component of effective instruction, regardless of grade level, subject, pedagogy or curriculum." Sprick, et. al MO SW-PBS

Academic Learning Time There is no doubt that academic learning time–the amount of time that students are actively, successfully, and productively engaged in learning–is a strong determinant of achievement. MO SW-PBS
Academic Learning Time Instructional Time–the amount of the allocated time that actually results in teaching. Engaged Time–the amount of instructional time where students are actively engaged in learning. MO SW-PBS
Academic Learning Time Instructional Time–diminished by unclear procedures, disruptive student behavior, disciplinary responses, lengthy transitions, etc. – Classroom Expectations – Classroom Procedures & Routines – Encouraging Expected Behavior – Discouraging Inappropriate Behavior MO SW-PBS
Academic Learning Time Engaged Time–diminished by inactive supervision, limited opportunities for students to respond, poor task selection, etc. – Active Supervision – Opportunities to Respond – Activity Sequencing & Choice – Task Difficulty MO SW-PBS

Discussion: Academic Learning Time Discuss with a partner: What do we currently do to ensure uninterrupted learning time? What do we currently do to ensure engaged time (e.g., practices to ensure that students are on task, responding frequently, and producing quality work matched to their ability)? MO SW-PBS 325
Effective classroom managers are known, not by what they do when misbehavior occurs, but by what they do to set their classroom up for academic success and prevent problems from occurring. MO SW-PBS 324

Shortly after science class started, the teacher announced, "We have a small block of ice and the same sized block of butter. Tell your neighbor which one would melt first." A few seconds later the teacher said, "Please write down in one sentence an explanation for your answer." A few minutes later, the teacher told students to share with their neighbor what they had written. Shortly thereafter, the teach called on one student to tell the class her answer. The teacher then asked to the class to raise their hand if they agreed with the answer. Then the teacher asked students to give a thumb down if anyone disagreed. Colvin, 2009 MO SW-PBS 336
Opportunities to Respond (OTR) Addresses the number of times the teacher provides academic requests that require students to actively respond. Teacher behavior that prompts or solicits a student response (verbal, written, gesture). Includes strategies for presenting materials, asking questions, and correcting students' answers to increase the likelihood of an active response. MO SW-PBS
The Value of Providing OTR More time students are involved, more learned. Increased rates of responding and subsequent improved learning tend to increase the amount that can be covered. On-task behavior and correct response increase while disruptions decrease. Shown to improve reading and math performance. Provides continual feedback for the teach on student learning and the effectiveness of teaching strategies. MO SW-PBS
Guidelines for Response Rates Teacher talk should be no more than 40-50% of instructional time. New material–a minimum of 4-6 responses per minute with 80% accuracy. Review of previously learned material–8-12 responses per minute with 90% accuracy. MO SW-PBS
Think about the amount of opportunities to respond you gave your students during the most recent day you taught. How would you compare to these response guideline? – New material–a minimum of 4-6 responses per minute with 80% accuracy. – Review of previously learned material–8-12 responses per minute with 90% accuracy Activity: Personal Reflection
Response Strategies Varied and creative strategies exist. Verbal strategies–students respond orally to teacher prompts or questions. Non-verbal strategies–student use a signal, card, writing or movement to respond. MO SW-PBS 337
Verbal Response Strategies Individual Questioning–calling on students unpredictably heightens student attention. – Ask the question first, then pause before calling on the student to respond. – Use seating chart, tallying to monitor rate of questions presented to each. – Student names on strips of paper, drawn as questions asked. – Use above random strategy, and call on a student to repeat or summarize what the student just said. MO SW-PBS
Verbal Responses– Continued Choral Responding–all students in class respond in unison to a teacher question. – Suitable for review, to teach new skills, as a drill, or as a lesson summary. MO SW-PBS
Ms. Finch's first graders have just finished reading a story about a young boy named Howard. Ms. Finch puts her storybook on her lap and holds up her hand and says, "Class, get ready to tell me the main character in today's story." She says, "Think big," drops her hand as a signal, and the students chime in, "Howard!" "Howard is right," exclaims Ms. Finch. "Way to go!" She asks ten more quick questions–some about the setting and main idea. "Last one. Here we go. The problem Howard faced today was finding his lost dog. Is that true or false? Think about it." She signals and the student eagerly respond, "False!" The students laugh and so does Ms. Finch. "I couldn't trick you, could I?" she asks. "Tell me why that's false." She calls on James who is frantically waving his hand to answer. Wood and Heward, 2004 MO SW-PBS
Using Choral Responding 1.Develop questions with only one right answer that can be answered with short, 1-3 word answers. 2.Provide a thinking pause or wait time of at least three seconds between asking the question and prompting students to respond. 3.Use a clear signal or predictable phrase to cue students to respond in unison. 4.Use a brisk, lively pace. 5.Provide immediate feedback on the group response. MO SW-PBS 338
Using Choral Responding– Continued Prepare questions in advance. Can be visually presented on PowerPoint® Best used with individual questions interspersed to assess individual learning. Use thorough pre-correction regarding listening, the response signal, appropriate voice tone, etc. MO SW-PBS 338
Verbal Responses– Continued Wait Time or Think Time–the time lapse when delivering a question before calling on a student or cueing a group response. – Engages students in thinking. – Increases participation. – Increases quality of responses. – Results in fewer redirects of students and fewer discipline problems. Rowe, 1987 MO SW-PBS
Using Wait Time or Think Time Simply pause after asking a question for five seconds. – Count inaudibly, use a stopwatch or follow second hand on a clock. – Peer coaching or video-taping can help to develop awareness. MO SW-PBS
Think about the how long your typical wait time is. Do you pause a full 5 seconds to give students time to think? Discuss with your shoulder partner how you might increase your wait time. Activity: Shoulder Partner
Non-Verbal Responding Every student actively answering or responding to each question or problem posed by the teacher. Same benefits as verbal response strategies. Most common approaches: white boards, written response cards, "clickers," signaling or movement responses. MO SW-PBS 339
Non-Verbal Strategies White Boards–students have personal white board to write answers to teacher's questions with an erasable pen. – Letters, words, numbers, draw symbols, or solve problems. – When cued, hold up board to display answers. – Students use an eraser, sponge, or cloth to erase their answer and await next question. MO SW-PBS
Non-Verbal Strategies– Continued Response Cards–pre- printed cards that have choice words on each side. – Yes/No, True/False, Odd/Even – Set of few choices (e.g., noun, pronoun, verb, adverb) MO SW-PBS
Using White Boards or Response Cards Teachers should: Teach the expected behaviors, including when to select their card or write their response, when to share, and when to clean boards or reposition cards for next question. Prepare questions to carefully match your response option. Assess student responses and provide clear, specific feedback. Provide the correct answer and a brief explanation if a significant number of students did not respond accurately, then re-present the question. MO SW-PBS
Non-Verbal Strategies– Continued Student Response Systems– commonly called "clickers." 1.During class discussion, the teacher displays or asks a question. 2.All students key in their answer using a hand-held keypad or other web-based device. 3.Responses are received and displayed on the teacher's computer monitor and on an overhead projector screen. MO SW-PBS
Using "Clickers" Teachers see immediately how students answer. Helps to guide teacher instruction. Devices are numbered so that individual responses can be downloaded for recordkeeping or further analysis once the session has ended. Student engagement and motivation or student satisfaction seems to be enhanced. All can respond anonymously using a familiar game approach. Raiser & Dempsey, 2007 MO SW-PBS 340
Non-Verbal Strategies– Continued Signaling or Movement Activities – Thumbs up/thumbs down, stand up/sit down, move to four corners, etc. MO SW-PBS
Non-Verbal Strategies– Continued Guided Notes–teacher prepared handouts leading students through a presentation or lecture with visual cues or prepared blank spaces to fill in key facts or concepts. – Increases attention and engagement. – Provides a standard set of notes. – Helps with outlining skills. – Lessons must follow the guided notes. MO SW-PBS
Developing Guided Notes Identify key facts, concepts, or relationships that could be left blank for students to fill in. Consider inserting concept maps or a chart, diagram, or graph to help with understanding. Provide students with formatting clues such as blank lines, numbers, bullets, etc. Be careful not to require too much writing. MO SW-PBS
Other Practices to Increase OTR Computer-assisted instruction Class-wide peer tutoring Direct Instruction MO SW-PBS
Activity: Opportunities to Respond Work with a partner. Review the practices for ensuring numerous opportunities to respond. Summarize what you have learned in the chart on handout Review of Opportunities to Respond by listing the strategies and then noting any key points about using the strategies effectively. Be prepared to share your summary with the large group. 341
MO SW-PBS Activity: Opportunities to Respond Use handout entitled Personal Reflection and Commitment. List the subjects or content areas that you teach in the left column below. Identify the verbal and non-verbal opportunity to respond strategies that could be used to improve your student learning outcomes in those subjects or content in the right column. Put a star by the one you will make a commitment to develop first. Share with a partner. 342

On March 4, members of the newly founded Rosemont speech and debate team placed at the 2017 Mustang Invitational Speech and Debate tournament. The 12-hour event was held at Maple Elementary School in Fullerton with 17 schools and 256 students participating.
Twenty-three Rosemont students, including Avery Anderson, Jonathan Aydin, Isabella Aydin, Adarsh Chilkunda, Vikram Chilkunda, Lauren Curtis, Preet Dasai, Maneh Davityan, Stepan Derian, Kevin Dong, Ellena Gain-Kim, Henri Gang, Andre Garabedian, Denitsa Georgivea, Trevor Hall, Joanne Lee, Amanda Li, Edmunda Li, Richard Li, Nicolas Mosaquites, Kyle Pak, Ashley Park and Sarah Ricci, joined the Rosemont speech and debate team since its formation earlier this year.
The team was founded by Miranda Li, junior at CVHS, who also acts as head coach.
"The team was a lot more popular than I expected, so I recruited my varsity CV speech and debate teammates to help me coach the students," Li said. "Each coach has an event specialty and combined the other coaches and I work together to mentor the Rosemont team and give them all the opportunity to try out and succeed in a wide range of events."
The members of the CVHS varsity speech and debate team who coach the Rosemont team are Martin Adamian, Adam Aronovsky, Andrew Hong, Armen Karabekyan, Forrest Kim, Miranda Li, Kevin Park, Mark Webster, John Woo and Dylan Yang. The two teams meet every Monday after school for one-and-half hours.
Li said that the partnership between the CVHS and Rosemont speech and debate students is rewarding for both teams. She noted the Rosemont team provides the CVHS varsity speech and debate students a way to "give back to the community [with the] competitive expertise [they've] obtained from participating in the speech and debate program."
"The Rosemont team [also] receives valuable mentoring from CVHS upperclassmen, learning more about not only communication and argumentation skills, but personal stories about the high school experience," she added.
During the Mustang Invitational Speech and Debate Tournament, Amanda Li placed first in the Congress, Original Oratory, and Original Narrative categories and second in the overall tournament. Stepan Derian and Nick Mosaquites placed third in the Duo Interpretation and Avery Anderson won the Spontaneous Argument category of the competition. Lauren Curtis placed second in the Congress category and Richard Li placed third in the Declamation category and won first place in the overall competition.
The next tournament the Rosemont speech and debate team will be participating in is the 2017 Surf City Express Invitation held on April 29.

JustNick Cut File Store
Hello love June 17, 2016 07:00
Hello everyone!
This month, Just Nick Studio teamed up with Clique Kits. You can check out my first page for the team up here
I made a second page to share with you all today
I used one of the exclusive cut files created by Just Nick Studio for the June Kit "La Dolce Vita" featuring Elle's Studio Little Moments.
Used Gelatos on the background
I clustered several pieces of the cut files under the photo and layered bits and pieces of embellishments as well
After writing a bit of journaling using a waterproof pen, I used my brush to flicker tiny bits of diluted gelatos and let it totally dry.
You can still join the hop and start right on the Clique Kits blog.
I hope you liked my page!
Happy crafting,
Hello Summer - Apostle Islands June 13, 2016 07:00
Hello JustNick friends!
Marcia here today. The JustNick Studio design team has been busy creating with the June Clique Kit. This fabulous kit features the Elle's Studio Little Moments collection, Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello, and of course some Clique Kit exclusives ... like these awesome JustNick Studio digital cut files!
I love adding sun rays on my summer layouts. I couldn't resist using the sunshine icon in a big way on this vacation layout. I pieced some yellow Elle's Studio paper in the negative space that was from the 6x6 paper pad. This is a great way to use those smaller pieces of paper!
Last summer hubby and I escaped to the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior for an extended weekend. The only way to get to the island is by boat ... in our case it was the Madeline Island Ferry. The best part of all was going off grid. Yup no cell phone service except for in the town of La Pointe! No way for our 9 to 5 jobs to call us while we were on vacation!! It was pure bliss. You are probably wondering what the heck that sign says! The Ojibwa Indian sign on my layout was at the beach. It says "No Life Guard On Duty ... No Diving Or Jumping From Bridge ... Swim At Your Own Risk". The Islands are beautiful and I had so many photos from our trip that I decided to create a couple filmstrips of images. I didn't want my layout to be too busy though so I added the Hello Summer icon in the middle. This worked out well for setting off my title too.
Here are some detailed shots....
I created a second layout using those darling butterflies and my daughter Naomi's fur baby! Princeton is a Corgi and Border Collie mix we think. He was adopted through a local rescue.
Here is a closer look at those awesome butterflies.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out the new cut files loaded in the JustNick Store.
Happy 12! March 02, 2016 07:00
Hi everyone. It's Heather and I don't know about you but I love designing with sketches, especially PageMaps sketches. I use them as a general guide to my design as evidenced below.
The sketch called for one large portrait photo, as shown above plus 2 smaller portrait photos above, where you see the tags. The rest of the design follows the sketch fairly close.
I used the Birthday Sentiments cut file and the heart from the exclusive files Nicole created for the Clique Kits team up in February. You can use the Broken Heart cut file to achieve the same effect.
I added layers of papers, ephemera, stickers, banners, etc to give the page a celebratory effect.
Thanks for stopping by today. Come back tomorrow for more great PageMaps inspiration.

Hi everyone,
I hope you were able to make it to our joint blog hop, this past weekend, with Clique Kits. I had a lot of fun using their February Hot Mess kit and, of course, using the awesome cut files from Nicole. Today I'm sharing the page I created for the blog hop. It's a fave!
I love layering and layering cut files is just as fun as layering pattern paper! For this page, I duplicated that awesome art in various sizes. Then, cut them out and layered a couple of the smaller ones on the top right.
I cut out the word Shine and used some of the mist, from the kit, to color it up. LOVE that color, don't you???
This layout is documenting a milestone in my life after working really hard on my health in 2015. It's just the beginning! And what a fabulous kit to work with, too!
Thanks for swinging by today!
Cut files used: Exclusive cut files for January 2016 Clique Kits kit.
