Leonard, Elmore
Elmore Leonard (John Elmore Leonard), 1925–2013, American novelist, b. New Orleans, grad. Univ. of Detroit (1950).
Leonard began publishing Western tales in the early 1950s, the best known of which is the short novel Hombre (1961; film, 1967). His first crime novel, The Big Bounce, was published in 1969 (films, 1969 and 2004); thereafter, he contributed numerous novels and short stories to the genre, writing about a book a year. Leonard developed a gritty realism in style and setting (often Detroit), a hard-boiled and tough-talking cast of outsider characters, a deadpan humor, and a crisp, clean prose that made him one of America's top crime writers. Many of his novels became films, sometimes with his own screenplays. Among the most popular of his many books are Fifty-two Pickup (1974; film, 1984 and 1986), Stick (1983; film, 1985), LaBrava (1983), Glitz (1985), Freaky Deaky (1988; film, 2012), Get Shorty (1990; film, 1995), Maximum Bob (1990; television series, 1998), Rum Punch (1992), Out of Sight (1996; film, 1998), Cuba Libre (1998), Be Cool (1999; film, 2005), Tishomingo Blues (2002), Mr. Paradise (2004), The Hot Kid (2005), Road Dogs (2009), Djibouti (2010), and Raylan (2012), his 45th and last novel.

Supporting Social Emotional Learning
Elementary school students created social stories using Adobe Spark Video to support social skills development and reinforce tools and strategies to decrease anxiety within and outside of the classroom. The student-created videos were saved to Google Drive where they were organized by topic to serve as a resource for teachers, students and parents. This student-centered approach helped build confidence and allowed students to learn from one another. The process of planning and making videos was highly engaging and allowed students to practice expected behaviors and discuss strategies in a small group setting.
Adobe Spark Video
Video creation does not have to be complicated or expensive. Adobe Spark Video is a free, web-based tool with an intuitive interface that results in polished videos which can be uploaded to Adobe Spark and shared with a link or downloaded and saved as an MP4 video format. For our use, we downloaded the video files to store on Google Drive. Adobe Spark Video allows users to select a theme, add still photos and/or video clips, text, icons and voice over. Students narrate each slide individually, which makes it simple to re-record without the need to start over. Click the image below to access an Adobe Spark Video Cheat Sheet I created.
Sample Student-Created Social Stories Videos
Working in small groups, students selected a target social skill and created a short social story. Students brainstormed how they could best illustrate the parts of their story using still images. With the support of a teacher, students built a storyboard to plan out their video. Click HERE to access a more detailed Storyboard template from Adobe. Adobe Spark Video is available for free for iPad as a stand-alone App as well as a Chromebook compatible website. NOTE: Adobe Spark Video currently requires account holders to be age 13+. A teacher created the account and monitored student use. Videos were not shared via Adobe's online community, but were saved directly to Google Drive. Take a look at the examples below:
Special thanks to Jess Ostuni, my friend and Lynnfield School Psychologist for collaborating with me on this project!

I have just installed KDE 4.9 in Linux Mint 14 the easy way. Just type sudo apt-get install kde-full to install all of the packages in one go. Since I have my dual desktop configuration laid out in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file I had a properly working dual screen desktop as soon as KDE started up for the first time. In the accompanying screenshot you can see what the vanilla KDE desktop looks like with the default theme and the KDE wallpaper. In Ubuntu you type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to install KDE but at least Linux Mint has an equivalent command that can install the whole KDE desktop for you in one go. The KDE 4.9 desktop on Mint 14 is very fast and usable; with nothing to complain about in terms of performance. In the screenshot to the right you can see the settings I am using for my task manager; these settings ensure that task manager buttons will appear only on the screen that the application is running on. KDE is a very configurable and themeable desktop interface; there are a good selection of KDE themes that are very good looking.
This posting of mine has a good selection of KDE themes: http://www.securitronlinux.com/linux-mint-2/windows-7-lookalike-kde-themes-how-to-make-linux-look-like-vista-or-windows-7/.

February 16 | 7:00 pm | Mullin Family Grand Salon
The last century will forever be remembered for the civil rights movement, as African Americans mobilized to fight for escape from the oppressive social structures within which they lived. While incomplete, the long march toward freedom and equality gained momentum and forever changed America. It was also the century of the automobile. The car helped transform economies and societies, revolutionizing the way people would live, work, and play.
These trends are not isolated, but instead deeply connected. Join us at the Petersen Automotive Museum for a talk by Education Coordinator Jason Hartwig about the relationship between the car and the civil rights movement in America. This is the inaugural event in the Petersen Education Department's Explorations series.
Event is free to the public; does not include full museum gallery access or parking. Parking in our garage is $12 for public and $10 for members with member validation. Seating for this event is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please RSVP to reserve your spot; your reservation can apply to one accompanying guest. Light refreshments will be available while supplies last.

Law amendments made in 2008 may be a contributing factor in the recent increase of reported hate crimes on campus. In 2009, there were seven bias-related instances, up from 2007, when there were none.
The amendments, put into effect by the Higher Education Opportunity Act in August of 2008, restructured how the instances are reported. University Police were forced to make more information public regarding crime.
"Thirty years ago a custodian may not have reported it [bias-related graffiti]," University Police Chief Cynthia Adam said. Now, all campus employees are trained to report bias-related graffiti and symbols.
According to New York State law, a hate crime is an intentional act of offending, in whole or in part, minority traits like race, disability, religion and sexual orientation. If there is not a specific victim, then it becomes a bias-related incident.
"Students need to realize that they are responsible for their action, said Associate Dean of Students for Judicial Affairs Lisa Evaneski in an e-mail. "Words hurt. I encourage students at orientation to 'find another word' and to avoid using words that are homophobic, racist, sexist, etc."
The campus as a whole has been taking more steps in educating not only students about hate crimes, but encouraging staff to report offenses.
"The more we as a campus do education and awareness, there will be likely to be a spike," Adam said.
But there are some students and faculty who do not wish to report incidents of bias-related crimes for various reasons. Often times the reporter of the hate related crime is different from the victim. If an employee that works in a resident hall observes a bias-related symbol on a whiteboard, it is their job to report it. However, the victim may not always want to pursue it.
"Some were construed by the victim as a prank," Adam said.
In some cases members of the campus community may have been affected by a bias-related incident, but do not wish to report it because they are afraid.
"The difficulty is there are concerns of backlash because they know the person," said Catherine Santos, associate provost for multicultural opportunities and programs. "They think that it affects the community negatively but for whatever reason don't want to pursue."
Hate crimes are detrimental to a victim and their group, because it isolates them and they can feel like there is no one who will listen to what happened. There is also a fear that if someone even listens, they will not care.
"I find that most students are not willing to report hate crimes against them…" Pride Alliance President Kathryn Van Houtte said. "Some victims have grown used to shrugging off the abuse just because it's something they've been dealing with for so long. Others are convinced that even if they go to the authorities, no one will care and nothing will be done about the incident."
When an incident is reported, such as graffiti, U.P. will arrive, take pictures for documentation, talk to witnesses and then file a report. If the victim of a hate crime chooses to prosecute, then Judicial Affairs will decide what type of punishment will be put into effect.
"If we have a case that has been documented and investigated by police and it is legally a hate crime — we would proceed to a hearing," Evaneski said. "If its a bias-related incident, like use of bias-related and hateful language (no crime occurred) we might handle the case in an informal hearing."
If the student is found guilty of violating the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, then the student may face punishments ranging from a warning to expulsion.
Although the number of reported hate crimes is increasing, it does not mean the number of hate crimes are. It may mean that more people are reporting issues. There is some discrepancy as to how to prevent these issues from taking place in the first place.
"I don't know if programs are the answer. A lot of people don't come to programs. Programs don't cut it," said Lifestyles Health Promotion Coordinator Shelly Sloan. "We need to think of more creative ways of getting the message out. We are experimenting but we haven't had a perfect solution yet. But conversations are a great start."
The occurrence of hate crimes can provoke more instances of the offense by others. They are either victims themselves or those whose see these actions as acceptable.
"It breeds fear and misunderstanding between people who wouldn't ever think of committing a hate crime or discriminating against anyone," Van Huette said.
When people feel unsafe, it can create feelings of animosity and rivalry. It also causes emotional distress among the minority.
"It has to be upsetting, because when you're in a group of people and getting picked on it makes people feel unwelcome and unsafe," Sloan said. "We want people to feel welcome, in this community."
Part of making people feel welcome into the community is making safe zones for students where they have someone to talk to and who can do something if that is the desired course of action.
"I would also like to suggest that more faculty members turn their offices into 'Safe Spaces' for LGBTQA [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Asexual] students," Van Huette said. "It helps so much to have even one person, one faculty/staff member who has just the slightest pull around the campus, to talk to."
The rate of hate crimes at Oswego State has changed over the years, according to Santos.
"I have been here for over 40 years and things have improved, certainly," Santos said. "But have they been eradicated? Certainly not."
Santos attributes the increase of tolerance to more classes that talk about bias and race. The more that the campus utilizes of the classroom as a vehicle for promoting tolerance, the less hate crimes there will be.
"It's a package deal. It has to be reported, stop it when it's happening, not perpetuate it and stopping it in classrooms" Santos said.
Even when hate crimes stop, it will not be enough.
"If it's still happening than we can do more," Sloan said. "When it stops, we need to keep going so it doesn't start again."

On Sunday, March 2nd at the 6th annual Yoga Mala, we will be sweating and breathing through 108 Sun Salutations led by local yoga teacher. We are looking to raise $40,000 to support local efforts with food and fuel assistance, as well as yoga outreach. Your grassroots fundraising efforts will support these three organizations:
SATYA: bringing qualified yoga teachers to under-served populations, and supporting teachers who work with special-needs populations.

Stories of medieval Delhi, through a heritage walk in Mehrauli, 7july 13
One of the lesser known sites of Delhi, this 100 acres green land has 70 odd monuments scattered around. The reason why Mehrauli Archaeological Park fascinates history lovers is because of its wild, un-kept look interspersed with monuments dating back from the first fortified capital, Lal Kot up till British period. The first monument we covered on this heritage walk was built by one of the powerful 'slave kings', Sultan Balban. Balban's tomb is considered the first building in India which used the technique of construction of true arches. The central chamber is empty & the adjacent chamber contains the burial of his son, Khan Shaheed.
From here we take a steep flight to stairs leading to a group of ruins dating from the later Mughal times. A narrow path from here leads to a fine mosque locally known as 'Jamali Kamali'. The rectangular prayer hall with five openings has lotus decorations in white marble & red sandstone. The turret like design of either side of the central opening reminds us of the design of the famous Qutb Minar. The song 'dhage thood lao" from the Bollywood movie 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' starring Abhishek Bachchan and Preity Zinta was shot in Mehrauli Archeological park especially in the tomb of Jamali Kamali and Rajon ki baoli as the backdrop.
We walked to the uphill to one of the follies of the Thomas Metcalfe, who Resident appointed by English East India Company at the Mughal court. Metcalfe has purchased this land & converted it into a pleasure retreat, naming it 'Dilkusha' or delighter of the heart. The estate included a boathouse, a bridge over water, extensive landscaped gardens, a few follies & a tomb converted into Metcalfe's residence! Mohd Quli Khan was a nobleman under Akbar whose tomb was purchased by Metcalfe from the former's descendants & modified into a house. The area where Dilkusha stands was part of Lal Kot & subsequently Qila Rai Pithora, the first 2 cities of Delhi.
From here we traced our way to another part of Mehrauli Archaeological Park, one which leads to the Mehrauli Village. There are two baolis (step wells) close by & our walking tour covered one of them: Rajon ki Baoli or mason's step well. According to the inscription on the mosque close to the step well, the tomb was built by Daulat Khan in 1506 during the reign of Sikandar Lodi.
It was a great pleasure to organise this heritage walk & walk around these monuments. Thank you all for joining in.

Don't Pause app is a cool new way to silence all audible notifications when listening to music on an Android device. With this app, you can enjoy your favorite songs without any interruptions!
We all love listening songs on our smartphones, but there's nothing more annoying than when notifications interrupt our favorite songs. You may find dozens of music players on the Play Store, but unfortunately none of them have the ability to mute those irritating notification sounds while playing music. Whenever you get a text message or email, the device's OS will simply 'pause' the song for a second or two to play the notification sound, and only then it would resume the audio playback. Luckily, now there's an app called 'Don't Pause' that can resolve this issue.
Don't Pause is a free app that automatically puts your smartphone on vibration mode while playing a song, and then back to the normal mode when you're not using media player. This app boasts a dead simple user-interface. And what's even more exciting is that it doesn't require any configuration. All you need to do is download the app, and tap the green colored 'start' button located at the bottom of its interface.
Once enabled, Don't Pause will run continuously in the background and will smartly mute all incoming notifications for you as long as music is being played. And as soon as you finish listening to music, the app will change the mode back to the normal ringing mode. In this way, the app will help keep your mobile music uninterrupted by silently storing all the notifications in the background.
No doubt, this app is not exactly the first-of-its-kind. Back in January 2014, a similar app called "Shush" was launched, which allows you to turn off your ringer and specify how long you want it to stay in that mode. Don't Pause is actually a minimalistic design of Shush. The only difference here is that the new Don't Pause app focuses on media player applications.
Now, if you love listening to music on your smartphone and if you don't want any kind of notifications to disturb you, then Don't Pause is surely a must-have app for you. It is available for free on the Google Play store. Simply click here to download this amazing app on your device.

How to Sell Music to Advertising Companies
Licensing of music hit a high of $2.5 billion in 2011, according to "Time" magazine. You can create a small business that creates songs for advertising companies. You do not sell your songs to such companies; you license them, which is like renting them out. If you know how to go through the proper channels, you can pitch music to ad companies and receive licensing fees.
Step 1
Record a demo. The word "demo" is short for "demonstration recording." The recording should contain several of your compositions, with brief snippets of each put together in a five-minute sampler. Feature the most interesting parts of each composition, allowing those parts to play for 30 seconds to one minute each. That means your sample could contain portions of five to 10 songs. You can make a CD of your demo or post the sampler online.
Step 2
Write a cover letter, which should explain your credentials, describe your music and explain that you want to have your music considered for licensing for ads. You should mention that you own the recordings because ad companies prefer to deal with the owner of the music directly.
Step 3
Identify prospects. You can search for two types of companies: ad agencies and music marketing companies that promote songs to ad agencies. You might want to start locally with companies that use music for local ads. This can build up your resume before you contact large companies.
Step 4
Contact prospects. You can call advertising or music marketing companies and ask for permission to submit. Do not send your music without permission. Ask about upcoming projects and explain that you would like the company to consider your demo. Get the name of the person to whom you should send the demo. Ask if that person would prefer a web link where you have posted your demo online.
Step 5
Mail your CD to the person in charge of listening to music. You can also email the link to your music to the person who listens for the company. Make sure the CD has no scratches, and make sure the online link functions. Ad executives have little patience for technical problems when listening to music.
Step 6
Call one week later to follow up. Remind the person you speak to about your previous call to ask for permission to submit. Explain that you submitted the material and are following up to see if it is something they can use. Though your call can result in a rejection, it could result in a meeting.
Step 7
Meet with the ad company to negotiate licensing fees. According to LicenseQuote.com, you could ask for $1,600 to $26,000, depending on the type of broadcast that will feature the music. For example, a song placed on a website might earn $5,800, while a TV ad could pay $7,258 on average.
- Every piece of music has two copyrights. You own the copyright to music you compose, and you own the copyright to the actual recording of that song. If the ad company wants your actual recording, it will pay you for both copyrights. If it only wants the song, it will pay only for the copyright to the composition, and later re-record it in its own recording studios.

text: Hey guys Got my I1 2 days ago and this is my first drone & RC. I started flying in atti from the get-go as recommended by a professional UAV pilot in my country. Well, this was the best advice ever. On my 8th flight I wanted to experiment with the camera/gimbal controls so I have send it up to +-10meters and kept it in GPS mode for this. The aircraft behaved very well up there and kept it's position perfectly. I have suddenly noticed a red exclamation on the Pilot App and immediately looked up at the craft only to see that it is flying off. With my very limited flight experience I could manage to pull it back and bring it down safely. Now we all know that things can/WILL eventually go wrong, but I would feel better if I knew what caused this. I could not get a chance to read what was displayed next to the exclamation mark and would like to be able to investigate. Is there a way to view the flight logs myself or is the user limited to the flight replay option?

Californians Deliver Fruit & Flowers to Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Demand End to Wasteful Multimillion-Dollar Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) Program, Seek Science-Based Policies, End to Farmer Quarantines
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Heeding President Obama's call for government policies based on scientific fact, and the new administration's determination to cut wasteful government spending, Californians have joined together to deliver apples and flowers to Speaker Pelosi. A letter signed by Northern California community members asking Speaker Pelosi to support reclassification of the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) from an actionable pest to a non-actionable pest, and requesting hearings on the issue, accompanies the agricultural products. Reclassification of the moth would end burdensome quarantines currently imposed on farmers, and eliminate the need for a multi-million dollar eradication program which critics say is unsafe, unnecessary, and ineffective.
"unfair policy built on faulty scientific assumptions that benefits foreign growers over domestic ones. ...I beg you to please...remove the threat of quarantine which creates gross inequity and a restrictive policy for a pest that according to the farmers I talk with is not really a pest at all."
The flowers and apples were grown pesticide-free in Santa Cruz County, and typify the plants LBAM can feed on. The number of flowers and apples delivered represent the amount of money -- $90 million -- spent during the first year of the LBAM eradication program. Each flower and apple delivered represents one million dollars. The coalition delivering the package of agricultural products and signing the letter to Speaker Pelosi, ranges from mothers' groups (Mothers of Marin Against the Spray [MOMAS] and Play Not Spray-San Francisco) to businessmen, from scientists to health advocates, and spans geographically from Monterey County to Sonoma County. Californians have opposed the plans by the California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) to eradicate LBAM since the program's inception in 2007.
"Reclassification of LBAM is supported by a petition presently under consideration by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The petition provides extensive scientific justification for the position that eradication and quarantine measures are unnecessary, because LBAM poses no significant economic or ecological threat," states Debbie Friedman, Chair of MOMAS. "Eradication efforts and quarantines not only impose unnecessary hardships on farmers, but they compel a range of pest control activities that threaten human health, especially the health of our children. It is galling that taxpayers are forced to continue paying millions of dollars for this unnecessary and potentially toxic eradication program during a time of fiscal crisis."
In a supportive letter accompanying the fruit and flowers, Chris Mittelstaedt, CEO and founder of The FruitGuys (and a parent of young children), states that the LBAM eradication program represents "unfair policy built on faulty scientific assumptions that benefits foreign growers over domestic ones. ...I beg you to please...remove the threat of quarantine which creates gross inequity and a restrictive policy for a pest that according to the farmers I talk with is not really a pest at all."
A particular waste of taxpayer money may be Sterile Insect Technology (SIT), a relatively recent addition to the CDFA toolkit for LBAM eradication, which has included aerial spraying of pesticides and toxic ground treatments.
According to James Carey, professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, "SIT is a complete waste of money. It has never been used to eradicate any moth species that has as many plant hosts and is as widespread as LBAM is in California. The failure of the five-year, multi-million dollar effort by the Canadian government and industry in the late 1980s to eradicate the codling moth in apple-growing regions of British Columbia, using a combination of SIT and chemicals, underscores the ineffectiveness of SIT even for a species with a narrow host-range, such as the codling moth. They are talking about rearing enough [sterile] moths to release over a 500-square-mile area. That's 500 million moths per week, and it's impossible. They can't eradicate these things, but [it] lets CDFA throw public money down a rat hole. Basically, there is no way it can work."
Also included with the apples and flowers is a supportive letter from a New Zealand fruit growers' association (LBAM has lived in New Zealand for 100 years), and a coalition letter from Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA), calling for the reclassification of LBAM.
CDFA has conducted more than 270 eradication projects since 1982 -- and in practically all cases, the targeted species has reappeared, often repeatedly, raising the question of whether any eradication program can work.

No fear: Couple play around on top of skyscraper in death-defying stunts
WHETHER or not you think it's romantic or foolhardy, it's certainly pretty dangerous to lark around with your loved one hundreds of metres up in the air.
This daredevil couple decided to do just that however when they performed a series of vertigo-inducing tricks on top of a seriously tall skyscraper.
In the heart-stopping clip a girl leans backwards off the skyscraper while holding hands with her man.
She even stands on one foot, seemingly unbothered by the terrifying drop below.
Proceeding to do a somersault along the edge of the building, the babe is completely fearless as she then leaps on her boyfriend's shoulders.
Filmed as the early evening turns to night, lights can be seen flicking on in the city below them as the couple continue their high-jinks on the rooftop.
Although the lass in the film seems not to care much about heights, she certainly seems germ-conscious – she wears a dust mask for the duration of the film.
The clip was posted online where it has been met with shock and a lot of negative comments.
One Facebook user wrote: "Think of your parents before doing such dangerous things."
The trend for climbing dangerous buildings shows no sign of slowing down, with plenty of danger-loving enthusiasts scaling new heights.
One daredevil stunt man chose to somersault down a skyscraper's roof in stomach-churning footage.
Meanwhile, a thrill-seeker fell to his death in 2015 as he tried to climb the façade of an iconic New York building with a friend.

Critical Power Supply Options and Planning of High Availability Supplies
Our dependence on electricity is growing and even a few seconds or minutes of power disruption has become unthinkable. An unscheduled interruption can cause immense damage and loss of life. While it is impossible to guarantee 100% availability of power at all points in any system, vulnerable sections can be provided with alternative critical power supply equipment to ensure reliable power availability, thereby avoiding the problems of power interruption.
This workshop shows you how to ensure reliable power supply to critical systems using various available options. The solutions can vary from the simple diesel generating set as standby sources to superconducting sag support systems. Nascent technologies like fuel cells have matured and are fast becoming mainstream solutions. Of course, all this comes at a price, which means that the solution must match the actual needs without excessive insurance and thereby optimise investments. This workshop will discuss how to save dollars by finding the right solution to your needs so that you invest just what is needed and where it is needed.
Another major aspect is to ensure that the critical power supply is itself very reliable. This will need suitable redundancies and a well-engineered distribution system so that when the need arises they cut-in and take over the load without any hitches. This workshop will also briefly look at the design issues involved in planning the distribution of critical power by deploying state-of-the art control devices such as static transfer equipment.
If you are responsible for maintaining power availability in your facility, this workshop is something, which you simply cannot afford to miss. And all you need is to just invest half-a-day of your time to gain state of the art know-how from our expert instructor.

Family Pact is primarily a game, a user-friendly tool conceived to facilitate relationships within a family focusing on parents and childrens everyday tasks
The online game www.familypact.lu helps to frame family life by setting rules for everyday life.
First you need to register via the web site www.familypact.lu. Parents can then register their children on the platform. Once the registration is done, you can enter the system. Here, 4 main categories are proposed: respect, responsibility, participation, autonomy.
Each category contains a set of rules with positive and / or negative points, adapted to the different ages of the children.
In the presence or absence of parents, the children register their accomplished acts, which makes them win (or lose) points in their prize pool. Parents then receive notifications that allow them to validate or not the actions of the children. The children accumulate points in their prize pool that they can allocate in their various rewards. When a reward level is achieved, it is up to the parents to fulfil the reward.
Karine Haddar, director of the Tam Tam agency, is at the origin of this "game". We asked her some questions about the genesis of this initiative:
It was three years ago. Returning home one night, Vivien had made a table of rules to earn points and to be able to play video games at the weekend. I said OK but we do this in a professional way!
It took more than 2 years to write the functional storyboard, the creation of the design identity, the technical and graphic development. Also, 6 months of meetings with a group of really nice kids to see what their expectations were.
This is the idea of my children so they started it immediately. They were my first "beta testers". We saw surreal scenes at the beginning: you come home from work in the evening and you see the table already set up with candles, decoration, garden flowers ... After a while they seemed to have had enough of having to make so much effort so they rebelled and wanted to stop Family Pact.
I left it for a few weeks and then we went back on a more "realistic" basis and especially by making them understand that we also made efforts for them and that it is normal that they do the same for the family. Today, the tool is really integrated in our daily lives.
Above all, we find a lot of motivation today on "qualitative" participation: like cooking together, helping to maintain the garden, tidying things away. The most important thing is that there is no more endless discussion, they just do what needs to be done.

Raspberry Lime Iced Water
Kim Biegacki
Happy New Year to everyone...what a fun time to reflect on the year before and yet looking forward to the new year. I have really been deep in thought about a necessity for our home to make great efforts to drink more water. So, I must spruce up the water any way I can, so it encourages my husband & I to hydrate and nourish our bodies with the one most single important item that we need most. Water...water...water....give me water and some yummy fruit and I feel like I am on vacation!
The ladies at my party I had today just loved this water!

How to Make Raspberry Lime Iced Water
- 1Slice up your limes anyway you want. Place the down in your jars with a handful of raspberries. Now, muddle your fruit. I just used my wooden spoon to get out some of that wonderul flavors of lime and raspberry. Now add your unsweetened pineapple juice and sweetener. Next fill the glass to the rim with your ice and then finish with your filtered water. Add a straw and your ready to drink one delicious glass of fruit water. I made this today for a party and the women just loved it. Now I did 1 quart and 3 smaller jars. Use whatever you like but I was having a "spa" party and this was a great refresher after our massages.

An all white card designed for the As You See It Challenge blog. I used the Groovy Love stamp set with the coordinating Sweetheart Punch from Stampin' Up!
Gotta love the strain of a speed challenge. It's a good exercise to stretch your creativity and push yourself. These 10 minute challenges are probably the toughest for me. Having to use all white definitely added another creative stretch. Technically, you could add vanilla or grey for this challenge, since they would be considered "shades" of white, but I opted for primarily white.
I managed to finish this card in 9 minutes and 53 seconds. Not too bad, considering the state of my craft room and that I made the mistake of cutting my nails nice and short. (Peeling off the backing of sticky strip with no fingernails and with a time limit can be very frustrating)
The card is nice, but needed a bit of a refining, so I did a second one. See if you can spot the subtle differences and tell me which one you like better.
You can see that I have fewer of the Basic Rhinestones on the second card. I also only rounded one corner with my Corner Rounder punch and lowered the placement of my ribbon. I added the small heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. The biggest improvement for me was how I attached the strips of White Organza Ribbon. On the first card, I only put Sticky Strip on the back of the Whisper White Cardstock. This caused the ribbon to float a bit on the front of the card. I tried to anchor it after the fact by slipping a couple pieces of Sticky Strip underneath, but it just got more untidy. The second card used full strips of Sticky Strip across the front of the cardstock to anchor the entire length of the Organza ribbon, then a couple pieces on the back of the cardstock to secure the ends of the ribbon on the back. A much smoother and tidier finish on the second card.
Both cards have the sentiment from the Groovy Love stamp set stamped in Smoky Slate ink. Both cards have Stampin' Up! Dimensionals under the heart, the first rectangle layer and the second rectangle layer. After all, an all-white card demands layers and texture!!
By the way, did you miss me last week? With the Christmas season upon us, I just couldn't find the time to share a project with you. Each of my 3 kids had Christmas concerts that week (separate nights), and I was shopping all week to find something to wear to my husband's staff Christmas party.
(Me + shopping for clothes = forever!!)
Life has been very busy. Take a look at the current state of my craft room. Consider it a representation of my head these days.
I suppose you can guess what I'll be working on the next week or two. Gotta get this room functional again before the new year!
I know how busy the season can be, but why not take a 10 minute time out from it all and make a card? Load it up to the As You See It Challenge #67 and tell us how long it took. Even if your a little bit over, that's okay. Stretch your creative brain!

Mumbai aims for a world record
On June 11, as part of World Busk Week, a global event, musicians will perform live to help change the lives of less privileged children, and also attempt for a Guinness World Record
From June 9 to 15, cities across the world including Mumbai, London and New York, will see live music performances, on the streets and at public venues, where choirs, orchestras, bands and soloists will be making music. Busk refers to playing music in public places to raise money.
An earlier event by the National Streets for the Performing Arts
On June 11, performers across the globe will attempt to set the first ever simultaneous Guinness World Record
for the largest busk at multiple venues.
The performances are part of Musequality's World Busk Week where musicians across the world perform to aid disadvantaged children. Musequality funds communal music projects for disadvantaged children in developing countries.
Participants this year from India include the National Street for Performing Arts in Mumbai and Child's Play Foundation.
International violinist David Juritz set up Musequality. In 2007, he left London with a backpack and an empty wallet to busk around the world playing solo Bach, raising money and awareness to set up the charity. Musequality's music education programmes are held in Africa, India and Thailand and have helped orphaned children.
This year, over 850 musicians have signed up for the event. Groups of 25 or more are eligible to take part in this.
On: June 11, 6.30 pm to 10.45 pm at Carter Road, Bandra (W).

Detailed Information
Raceme-like branching cluster 2½ to 5 inches long at the top of the stem, the 2 to 9 branches each 1½ to 2¾ inches long, on very short stalks. Branches are all arranged on one side of the stem and erect to spreading, but mostly ascending. The central branch stalk (rachis) is densely hairy with 11 to 24 spikelets (flower clusters) all arranged on the underside of the rachis, packed in 2 rows. Spikelets are 4 to 5 mm (less than ¼ inch) long, 2 to 2.5 mm wide, oval-elliptic, slightly flattened, and have one fertile and one sterile floret though appear to be single-flowered. Spikelets are green to purplish brown. The spikelet stalk is densely covered in long, white hairs and has a yellowish cup-shaped structure at the tip.
At the base of a spikelet is a pair of bracts (glumes), the lower glume obscure and scale-like or absent altogether, the upper glume oval-elliptic, thin and papery, 3.4 to 5 mm long and as long as the spikelet, 5-veined, lacking a keel, and covered in fine, soft hairs. Florets are surrounded by a pair of bracts (lemma and palea), the sterile lemma much like the upper glume and appearing to be the second glume; the sterile palea is absent. The fertile lemma and palea are both thicker than the glume, oval-elliptic with a minute point at the tip (mucronate), about as long as or slightly shorter than the upper glume, awnless, veinless, hairless; the lemma edges curl around the floret and the palea edges.
Leaves and stems:
Leaves are alternate, erect to ascending, 4 to 8 inches long, about ¼ to ½ inch (5 to 13mm) wide, lance-linear with a long taper to a pointed tip, flat, minutely hairy on both surfaces, rough textured along the edges and typically minutely crinkled along one edge, especially near the base.
Sheath are hairless to variably hairy, often hairy along one edge. The ligule (membrane where the leaf joins the sheath) is a fringe of white hairs up to 1.3 mm long. Stems are leafy, hairless except in the flower clusters, multiple from the base forming loose clumps, erect or more often prostrate from the base but rising at a lower node (genticulate), and may root at the nodes forming colonies.
Spikelets are green to purplish at maturity, the entire spikelet dropping off leaving the hairy stalk behind. Grains (seeds) are oval-elliptic, 3 to 4 mm long.
Hairy Cupgrass was unintentionally introduced from Asia as a seed contaminant and has been considered primarily an agricultural weed of the midwest. It made its way to Minnesota in the late 1960s, first recorded in a corn field in Blue Earth County. While the official records indicate it is not very widespread in the state, it is very much an under-reported species and we've been told by a DNR ecologist that it is becoming a significant pest plant in certain high quality habitats, describing it as the "Reed Canary Grass of rock outcrops". Though it is an annual and does not produce the dense mat of perennial rhizomes RCG does, it can root at the nodes and create a similarly dense stand. In a sensitive areas like rock outcrops where topsoil is thin and sparse, it can consume large swaths of the available soil and crowd out native plants. Hairy Cupgrass is not likely to be confused with other grasses: the hairy leaves, ligules and nodes, raceme-like cluster with 3 to 9 branches all on one side of the stem, hairy rachis with 2 rows of single-flowered, oval-elliptic, awnless spikelets 4 to 5mm long, finely hairy glumes, spikelet stalks covered long, white hairs, and the mature spikelets dropping of in their entirety are a pretty unique combination.

Disappointed to find out it is from Asia. Thank you for your website

I think this may have popped up along a corn field at the house I'm living at. It has an almost blue look to it, and I thought it was very pretty. I'm a little sad to find out it isn't native. I do have pictures if you'd be interested.

Panzer Dragoon (パンツァードラグーン Pantsā Doragūn?) is a rail shooter video game developed by Team Andromeda and released on the Sega Saturn console in 1995; and later released on PC, PlayStation 2, and as a bonus in its sequel Panzer Dragoon Orta for Xbox. The game follows the journey of Keil Fluge (unnamed in localized versions), a member of a hunting party who becomes the rider of a powerful blue dragon and joins it on its mission to stop a rival dragon from wreaking havoc on the world. The player moves an aiming reticle (representing the dragon's laser and the rider's gun) over the screen and shoots enemies while the dragon automatically flies through 3D environments on a predetermined track.
As one of the few games available at the Sega Saturn's surprise launch, Panzer Dragoon was the first game created by Team Andromeda. The game also marked the directorial debut of game designer Yukio Futatsugi, who was 25 years old at that time. It is the first game in the Panzer Dragoon series, and introduced the series' gameplay elements and art style.
Panzer Dragoon received positive reviews, both in 1995 and in recent retrospective coverage. It was Electronic Gaming Monthly's Editors' Choice in July 1995, was named "Best Saturn Game of 1995" in EGM's 1996 Buyers' Guide, and ranked 140th in EGM's "The Greatest 200 Videogames of their time" in 2006. In particular, its original art direction and post-apocalyptic science fantasy universe gained critical acclaim. The game has spawned a prequel, Panzer Dragoon II Zwei in 1996, and two sequels: Panzer Dragoon Saga in 1998, and Panzer Dragoon Orta in 2002.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN is a fascinating documentary exploring the artistry and destruction of the minbar of Saladin, the pulpit of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The minbar had survived for almost 800 years, only to be desecrated in an arson attack in 1969. It had stood as a masterpiece of Islamic art, rich in intricate detail and constructed without nails or glue. Through surviving photographs we can still marvel at its craftsmanship and appreciate it's exceptional story.
