Although still under construction and clearly covered in mud, triple-world champion Sebastian Vettel became the first F1 driver to experience the Sochi Olympic Park Circuit in Sochi Russia.
He was accompanied by David Coulthard, and the pair lapped the track in Infiniti FX Vettel Edition among other vehicles.
Once complete, the 3.7-mile Sochi Olympic Park Circuit will be the third longest circuit on the Formula One calendar behind Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium and Silverstone in Britain. The Olympic Park will also host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
Commenting on his experience in Russia, Vettel said: "It is a great privilege to be the first Formula One driver to visit the new Sochi venue. After trying a section of the track I can already see it will be a fun circuit to drive in a Formula One car and the rest of the venue is very impressive. I'm really looking forward to coming back here for the Grand Prix next year."
Russia's inaugural F1 race is scheduled after the 2014Winter Olympics, with the circuit's integration into Olympic Park infrastructure being a key feature of the venue.

Heshun Old Town
Heshun Old Town is in Tengchong.
Heshun Old Town is in the southwest of Tengchong county, 3km from the downtown area. Its old name is Yangwentun (阳温暾), which literally means sunshine and warm water, quite a snapshot of this old town.
Tengchong county is in Baoshan prefecture, western part of Yunnan province.
Other destinations
Heshun Old Town is surrounded by a river and built along the slope of a hill. The town extends about 3km horizontally. Since the early of Ming dynasty, ethic Han-Chinese from inland migrated to this place for military presence. Later, the town got prosperous from international trade business as it's the must-go-through site on the old Silk road.
Get in
Travelers usually get to Kunming first. Then you can take a one-hour flight from Kunming to Tengchong Tuofeng Airport directly, but the fares are as much as the ones from Beijing to Kunming, although the distances make a big difference. There are flights between Tengchong and other cities like Lijiang(丽江), Xishuangbanna(西双版纳), Chengdu, Shanghai, Beijing, etc. But seats are often fully taken without much discounted price.
For budget travelers, you could choose long-distance bus from Kunming to Tengchong, about 10 hours, costing around CNY200. Alternatively, 45-minute flight from Kunming to Baoshan, then 3.5-hour bus from Baoshan airport to Tengchong Tourist Terminal. Due to the use of Tengchong Tuofeng Airport, the flight fares per Kunming to Baoshan are often as cheap as CNY99, airport charges and fees excluded. The highway from Baoshan to Tengchong has almost been finished. It's open to small vehicles now and could save the time to 2 hours.
Ask the staff of your accommodation to arrange a car to pick you up from the terminal door to door, especially when you decide to lodge inside the old town. CNY20-30 will save you much trouble to find the your guesthouse as the lanes seem to be so complicated to a stranger. You will find your own reference to locations or directions after you spend half a day wandering around.
Get around
you could rent or share a van with other travelers to cover the following places of interest. Van rental with a driver costs CNY200-300/day. It could take you to visit 2-3 places as a daily package.
The Heshun Old Town ticket costs CNY80 and half price promotion for students and seniors. With the ticket, you could visit the Library, Museum of Yunnan-Burmese Anti-Janpanese War(滇缅抗战博物馆), Heshun Lane, Wanlouzi Museum(弯楼子博物馆), vaious temples and ancestral halls. As Cun(寸), Li(李),Yin(尹), Liu(刘) and Jia(贾) have been quite old families since migration dated back to AD1382, they all have their own ancestral halls as icons.
Heshun Lane is a newly built area with teahouses and pubs inside. After 5:30pm, entry is allowed without a ticket. It's like a quiet park for dusk walk along the wetland pond. You could have a seat by the side of the river, just to watch the wild ducks passing by, lotus swaying to the breeze, white egrets flying against the glowing sunset sky.
If you ask, most of the residents will friendly invite you in and show around their residential houses and courtyards. Some of them are more than 200 years old but well preserved. The construction still follows the ancient style of Ming/Qing dynasty(明清).
Washing pavilions(洗衣亭) have unique background story in this old town. There are a dozen of them along the river. As the tradition, most Heshun adult men had to go abroad for business to raise the whole family just after they got married. So they built the washing pavilions for their wives for shading while washing clothes along the river. When they were away from families, this was the only protection they could offer to the lovers. Young wives also waited there to expect the early return of the husbands. Yet someone could have been dead halfway abroad or buried in foreign countries and never returned, the widow would lead a lonely life till death. Then her families would build up a memorial gateway as a good example for other women to follow. You could stand below one of the memorial gateways to imagine those tragic romance.
Relax and walk along any stone lanes, stop at various residential houses as far as you like. If you are interested in jade jewellery, visit the shops along the outskirt street of the old town. But there is no standard to price a jade stone as an old Chinese saying, "No price for jade". It could be worthless, it could also be priceless.
There are restaurants along any lane only you can find it. Most guesthouses could also prepare lunch or dinner. Usually they hang a white board of menu to the gate. Some traditional local food are:
Most vegetables are edible wild leaves or herbs, try some fresh taste. If you don't like spicy food, tell the chef "Bu Yeow La" (No chilli).
Stay safe

Here's something I found really useful. My ISP boots me after 45 minutes of idle time. However, it only checks for HTTP traffic. So, if I leave a download on ovenight and that download happens to be from an FTP site, I get booted after a while. So here's some source that I wrote to prevent that from happening. I just load the page in IE/Netscape (haven't tested it in Mozilla) and go to sleep. I hope someone else finds some use for it.

A leading Dublin priest has resigned a senior position in the Catholic Church over the treatment of liberal priest Tony Flannery by the Vatican.
Fr John Hassett stood down as a dean of Maynooth Deanery but will remain a parish priest in Dublin reports The Irish Times. The dean position gave him high standing among clergy in his diocese and beyond.
He says he is taking the drastic step "over an issue that is neither specifically my own nor diocesan....it is extremely distressing and depressing the manner in which Fr Flannery has been dealt with by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith," Fr Hassett said.
Flannery has been threatened with excommunication by the Vatican agency because of his support for an end to celibacy, gay rights and women priests.
"I was ordained nearly 33 years ago and can say with certitude that if the truth were told, some of his views are shared by many priests of the archdiocese of Dublin said Hassett.
"It is a sad reflection on the rights of the person and the pre-eminence of conscience that a man of such integrity, kindness and stature is treated in such a manner.
"Of course, he is not the first and perhaps will not be the last to be thus treated as Rome is a law unto itself."
He continued: "We now live in a church where courage is silenced by fear, and one can only reflect that the gospel we cherish and struggle to live seems to be a 'dead letter' within Vatican bureaucracy."
In a related development some priests in the diocese of Clogher and the Bishop from that diocese which covers Monaghan and parts of Fermanagh, Tyrone, Donegal, Louth and Cavan, have expressed concern about the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) website and its leadership. The ACP is a liberal group of priests who challenge orthodoxy.
The Clogher clergy expressed their concern at the direction of the ACP.
"Much of the commentary and opinion offered on the website does not represent the views of its membership, at least judging from ourselves."
"One voice compared our association to a growing child, and suggested that at national level, the time had come for the ACP to grow up."

Editor's note: The editors would like to thank Susie Russell, program technician at McNairy/Chester Farm Service Agency for her efforts in gathering background information for this article:
The success of a farm or ranch is often measured in acreage, the size of a herd, or an above average crop yield. But for Hilda and Eddie Ashe, being the biggest or the best never mattered much.
It's the farming lifestyle they fell for, and they kept it going through good times and bad.
Hilda and Eddie grew up in the 1950s and 1960s in the small farming community of Michie, Tenn., in McNairy County, a few miles north of the Mississippi-Tennessee state line. Both graduated from Michie High School.
In 1969, they tied the knot, and Eddie began a career in farming. In 1976, Eddie and Hilda bought their first farm, one of Eddie's proudest moments. They started raising their own cattle, plus hay, pasture, pine, and had three daughters, Valerie, Monica and Emily. At one time, Eddie had a respectable row crop operation going too, farming about 800 acres of cotton and soybeans.
Back then, Hilda wasn't involved much in the farming operation, but contributed an outside income through an office job at Southridge Plastics (now Mississippi Polymers) in Corinth, Miss.
In the early 1980s, the farm economy went through some rough times, and Eddie was forced to scale back. He gave up the row crop land he was renting, but he didn't give up on farming. To augment his farm income, he took a job as a letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service and shifted to hay and livestock on land he owned, around 100 acres. He became a part-time farmer, even though he spent as much on the farm as he did delivering mail.
The shift to a smaller operation wasn't something that Eddie or Hilda fretted about. "You just do what you have to do," Hilda said. "Eddie would always say he was a farmer at heart. He would rather be out on the tractor than anywhere. He was very lucky he got a job as a rural carrier, so he still got to be outside. He wasn't cooped up in a factory."
Eddie bought calves in the fall, fed them through the winter and sold them in the spring, and enjoyed every minute of it. After their youngest daughter became interested in the livestock though FFA, they bought cows and started raising calves.
Hilda became more involved, too, especially after Eddie and two of their girls started participating in the local horse shows and barrel racing their two horses.
Then, on March 28, 2004, a tragedy turned the Ashe family farm upside down.
Eddie, then 52, had purchased a new horse for his daughter, Emily, and that afternoon, they were preparing to go riding together. "He had ridden the horse before," Hilda said. "We're not sure what happened, but he fell off the horse and hit his head on the ground. That was it. We think maybe the horse reared up and threw him forward. It was one of those freak accidents."
Hilda was attending a shower at church about 2 miles away. "They came and got me. By then he was in an ambulance. They were telling me that it wasn't looking good for Eddie."
Eddie never regained consciousness and died the same day. Suddenly Hilda was left to deal with a double burden of grieving for Eddie and the need to tend to the farming operation. "All I could think of was that it happened for some reason," Hilda said. "We just didn't know what that reason was."
With the demands of the hay season upon her, and the needs of the livestock more urgent each day, Hilda turned to the philosophy that she and Eddie had relied on the past — to keep the farm going at all costs.
There was no plan of action, other than family members simply pulling together to help out, including Hilda's brother, Tim Williams. "I really don't know how we made it that first year." Hilda said. "We just did what we had to do when it was time to do it. By the next year, we started talking and planning more."
Slowly but surely, Hilda made the transition from grieving farm widow to lady rancher.
Susie Russell, program technician in the McNairy/Chester FSA in Selmer, Tenn., handled Eddie's paperwork when he was alive and has watched Hilda grow into the job. "She knows exactly what she's doing and exactly how to do it. She has really amazed me."
Susie introduced Hilda to several programs designed to ease the financial burden for ranchers in Tennessee. For example, through the Tennessee Department of Agriculture's Tennessee Ag Enhancement Program, Hilda put up a hay barn for square bales with the help of a 35 percent cost share.
Hilda later completed a 13-week Master Beef Producer Program, administered through the Tennessee Extension Service. As a master beef producer she became eligible for a 50 percent cost-share on the construction of a round-bale barn. "Susie has also helped me with finding cost-share on automatic waterers for cattle," Hilda said.
Today, Hilda farms approximately 115 acres — pasture, hay and pine trees. She owns 1 bull, 19 cows and 18 calves. Hilda has just expanded her farming interest to include goats — 1 male, 8 females, and 2 babies.
Her daughters have left the farm, but two grandchildren, Ashton, 12, and Victoria, 8, are a big part of Hilda's life these days. Hilda's brother, Tim, is still actively engaged in the operation, and Tim's stepsons, Richard and Joey Spencer, and Tim's wife Rhonda, help work the farm too.
Their goal is to make the farm as profitable as possible. "Maybe in a year or two we'll be to that point," Hilda said. "We're trying to get ready. We bought a new baler, a new cutter and we've put up a couple of hay barns. We're not making a living off it. Right now, we're reinvesting."
During the downturn in the economy, Hilda lost her job at Mississippi Polymers, but she has used the extra time to dedicate herself to the local community. Hilda is president of the board of directors of the McNairy County Farm Bureau, secretary-treasurer of the McNairy/Chester Cattlemen's Association and serves as an alternate on the County Office Committee of the McNairy/Chester County FSA.
"Hilda knows where her strength comes from to do all that she does," Susie says. "She is very active in the church, Lebanon United Methodist, in Michie.
Six years after Eddie's accident, Hilda says a greater purpose from Eddie's passing has certainly not revealed itself. So she stays focused on the cows, each of which has a name. When asked what Eddie would think about her progress on the ranch, Hilda didn't miss a beat. "He'd be pleased at the number of improvements we've been able to make."
Picking up the pieces from a tragedy is never easy, and each person moves on in his or her own way. Emily, Hilda's youngest daughter, was only 18 when Eddie's accident occurred, "and it's been tough for her," Hilda said. "They had a very special bond. She was his little 'boy.' She was with him when it happened, and she felt bad because she had wanted the horse."
Emily, who now lives in Texas, has limited her trips back to Michie. But the bond the Ashe family shares with agriculture is strong and does bring Emily home at least once a year.
There is also a strong bond between Hilda and her granddaughter, Victoria, who has firmly stated that when she grows up, she wants to be a lady rancher. For this, Eddie would be proud.

Collaboration | News
The Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan is using Mersive's Solstice software to enhance visual collaboration in the classroom. The technology is being piloted in five classes that will provide the basis for additional deployments in fall 2014 through 2015.
Solstice enables multiple users to connect to, share and control a display simultaneously from their mobile device — phone, tablet or computer — using an existing IP network. Multiple people can wirelessly share media on the display at one time, or an instructor can enter "podium" mode and take control. Students can use the system to collaborative in both study group and classroom settings. Behind-the-scenes features include centralized control through the Solstice Dashboard; Solstice Directory Service to enable network management; and APIs to allow integration and control with existing room control panels.
"At the University of Michigan, we're dedicated to leveraging technology to enhance and expand our active learning model," said Edward Adams, chief technology officer and director of computing services for the Ross School, in a press release. "Solstice allowed us to achieve a new level of technical functionality without the complexity and expense that traditional hardware solutions would have entailed. In addition, both students and professors have found Solstice to be a highly useful tool in their educational environment."

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
The bubble talk is as bubbled as the markets, and many stocks remain near their all-time highs. We've been having a huge discussion over on Scutify with our members about whether or not the markets, and tech stocks in particular, are "in a bubble" for days on end, and it's clear that there's a big disagreement about just how wild this market has gotten. So are we in a bubble or not? Well, before we just jump in at the current levels to start debating the state of the markets, let's take a look back at what I've said in past years about bubbles.
Oh, and come check out Scutify.com. These "Scuttles" are so much better than Tweets. They're longer and juicier and give much more value-add since they are all about stocks and markets. And who is YOUR favorite All-Star? Scutify.com/profiles/. $VJET $FEYE $PBPB $FUEL
Back in August 2010, three years ago, I wrote an article called, "Your App Future." I wrote in that article that "We're likely to enter an 'app bubble' over the next couple/three years as the vision of this new app-centric future and its ability to impact every single facet of our lives even more so than the World Wide Web has already. I'll bet you that in two years, when dozens of app-related companies are coming public at wild valuations and there's a frenzy among Fortune 500 companies to develop their app strategies and as we cross the one billion smartphone users threshold … well, I'll bet the guy who wrote that to me calling me an idiot is gonna regret saying that apps have already peaked."
Also, be sure to download the Scutify Android app and the Scutify iPhone app — the best stock market apps on the planet.
And just a of couple weeks before that, I really laid out the vision of this current bubble-blowing bull market for app-related stocks, especially, in an article aptly titled, "How to bet big on the biggest market in history – apps." And I wrote in it, that, "We're lucky as investors that we're not living through an app bubble … yet, anyway. Why not just embrace a five- or 10- year time horizon and figure out the best ways to invest your money, time and energy in a sector that can't miss. That's not even over-hyped (yet?). That's going to entail at least a third of the entire population of the planet earth within the next decade as more than two billion people will become app-enabled smart-phone users. Google, Apple, Netflix and soon, Hulu, are all very likely going to be valued at much higher prices in five and ten years than they are today."
Cody back in real-time here. So back to the discussion here today, are we now in a bubble? Well, it looks to me like it is playing out just about exactly how we expected it to. Betting big when the odds were in our favor has once again proven to be hugely profitable.
My own allocation breakdown isn't relevant to you, per se, because everybody's needs, wants and risk tolerance are different, but I had a lot of call options and common stock in many different App Revolution stocks back in 2010, and was more than 100% net long for a while. Fast forward to today, and I'd say being somewhere about 40-60% in net longs and call options (like Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc) vs. 10% broken biz model shorts; 5% bubble hedges (meaning right now that I am long puts on bubbled stock like /quotes/zigman/90481/delayed /quotes/nls/pcln PCLN , /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA and /quotes/zigman/5419837/delayed /quotes/nls/p P ), 5-10% in gold and silver coins and 2-3% in interest rate hedges and the rest in cash.
The put options we own on PCLN and TSLA and P, etc., are supposed to be hedges. I don't think it is wise to try to capture gains with these puts, but if you have a balanced and net long portfolio with a lot of bubblicious stocks like I do, you want to have some puts to help in protecting your hard won capital.
Whether or not this current market is full of outright bubbled stocks that we'll look back at one day and marvel at the valuations people were paying for Yelp /quotes/zigman/9021597/delayed /quotes/nls/yelp YELP and Zillow /quotes/zigman/5930210/delayed /quotes/nls/z Z , $YELP and $Z two of the stocks that came public during this app revolution, isn't the point. The point is that almost all of our stocks are trading at much higher levels and higher multiples on future earnings than they were back in 2010, and that means there's inherently more risk in them now. So you reduce some of that risk and raise some cash and put on some hedges and wait for the next great set up when we can once again be confident about betting big. $TSLA
Easy does it for now as the bubbles blow bigger. And be sure to let me know what you think about this bubble (or not) in the comments below or over on Scutify.com.

University of Hawai'i and Kennedy Theatre host memorial for Glenn Cannon
Faculty member devoted over 40 years to the UniversityUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Publicity, Kennedy Theatre
On Saturday, May 25, the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa will host a celebration of the life and work of long-time faculty member Glenn Cannon. Members of the UH and Honolulu theatre and film communities will gather to remember Cannon, who passed away on April 20, at UH Mānoa's Kennedy Theatre at 3:00 p.m. The theatre will open its doors at 2:30, and seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Cannon appeared on Broadway in the 1950's in "A Moon for the Misbegotten" and "The Good Woman of Setzuan." He also appeared in numerous off-Broadway shows and national tours, and was an actor, director, and teacher at Stanford Repertory Theatre in the 1960's. Cannon came to the University of Hawai'i in 1968, and directed over 50 productions in his time at the Department of Theatre and Dance. He served as a representative to the University of Hawaiʻi Professional Assembly and was instrumental in starting the Academy for Creative Media on the Mānoa campus.
He was also a fixture of the Honolulu theatre community, regularly directing at theatres around the city and winning a dozen Po'okela Awards for excellence from the Hawai'i State Theater Council, including the Pierre Bowman lifetime achievement award in 2009. His television career included recurring characters on "Magnum P.I." and the original "Hawai'i Five-0," as well as roles on more recent shows, including "Lost." He served as the president and board member of the local Screen Actors' Guild chapter for more than 20 years.
During his time at the university, Cannon mentored several generations of young actors; in the days after his death, his Facebook page was filled with former students recalling his influence and wishing his family well. "Glenn touched thousands of students and audience members in his career at Kennedy Theatre and in the community. He didn't just teach, he changed people's lives," said Paul Mitri, Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance. "We invite all those who can to come remember his illustrious career, his humor and wit, and pay homage to a truly irreplaceable artist."
Cannon's family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to support the students of the UH Theatre and Dance Program. Checks may be made out to "UH Foundation" with the notation "For Glenn Cannon Fund," and mailed to the University of Hawai'i Foundation, P.O. Box 11270, Honolulu, HI 96828-0270.
For further information about the memorial or making a donation in Cannon's name, please contact the Department of Theatre and Dance at (808) 956-7677.

Cloudmark's Antispam Tool Is Terrific - And Now Free
"I can't define spam, but I know it when I see it". That's the sentiment behind Cloudmark's wildly successful community-based spam filter.
Rather than try to devise intricate Bayesian fuzzy logic rules to distinguish spam from "ham" (valid mail), Cloudmark relies on the brains of its users. When any community member marks a particular e-mail message as spam, a digital fingerprint of that message goes to Cloudmark's servers. When enough members mark the same message as spam, that message gets filtered out for all other members.
OK, there's a little more to it, but that's the core of the technology. A valid person-to-person message will never get tossed in the spam pile, and a valid message with multiple recipients will almost never get thrown out. Cloudmark Desktop does very, very well in my testing. What could they possibly do to make it better? How about making it free!
Today the company has released its new Cloudmark DesktopOne, totally free for individuals who want to filter one e-mail account. Yes, of course I'm going to review it, but because so much of the product's intelligence resides online, there was no way to run any tests before the official release. I can tell you right now, though, that there's a lot more here than simply taking Cloudmark Desktop and slapping a "Free" sticker on the price tag.
To start, there's now a single product, where previously users had to purchase different products for different e-mail clients. Cloudmark DesktopOne works with any e-mail client and filters any kind of e-mail including POP3, IMAP, MSN-style HTTP mail, Exchange-based mail, and webmail. Even better, it works in the background even when your e-mail client isn't running. It can chug away at your desktop filtering Web-based e-mail even when you're on the road checking mail from a different computer. How cool is that?
Normally, I time e-mail downloading to see how much a spam filter slows down the process. In the past, Cloudmark hasn't caused any slowdown that I could measure. I'll be checking to see whether this pre-filtering of the e-mail stream actually speeds up downloading of valid e-mail. Certainly the similar prefetch feature in Astaro Security Gateway speeds things up.
There will also be a commercial edition for $19.95 - businesses can use this, or individuals who want spam filtering for more than one e-mail account. Apparently it will have some hot added features, but I don't yet know those details. Right now you can give the free edition a try; download it at www.cloudmark.com/cdo/. I'm grabbing it today for a full review.

Outlook 2013: Hope Springs in Housing Market

Merck Serono announced the launch of a global MS awareness campaign calling for "script concepts" on the topic of multiple sclerosis. The winning script will be developed into a short film and distributed later in 2010. The contest is not open to US residents.
The announcement coincided with World MS Day (May 26), with the campaign—Real MS— slated to launch last month. Script submissions will be read by "an international judging panel of experts," and visitors to the campaign website can also vote on the scripts, according to a company statement. Merck Serono is a division of Merck KGaA, a Germany-based pharmaceutical company.
"The goal of Real MS is to change global perception of the disease, and we hope that its positive message will inspire and empower the MS community to find ways to live the lives they want," said Roberto Gradnik, MD, head of the neurodegenerative diseases business unit at Merck Serono, in the statement.
Merck Serono—called EMD Serono in the US and Canada—co-markets the MS injection Rebif (interferon beta-la) with Pfizer, and is currently working on an oral formulation of Cladribine. Novartis is also developing an oral medication for MS, called Gilenia (fingolimod). Both Cladribine and Gilenia have faced setbacks in the FDA approval process. Novartis was granted a priority review for Gilenia last February, but FDA announced that it would extend the review period by three months, until September 2010. FDA told Merck KGaA last November that its New Drug Application for cladribine was incomplete in a Refuse to File letter.
The MS market was worth close to $8 billion in 2009, according to a VisionGain study released in March. A recent Datamonitor analysis projected that the MS market will expand in the coming years, and an oral medication could generate significant sales. However, safety issues would likely prevent widespread use of Cladribine or Gilenia as a first-line treatment, according to the Datamonitor analysis.
Biogen Idec, makers of Tysabri and other drugs indicated for MS, is also hosting events for World MD Day, including yoga classes for MS patients with instructor Baron Baptiste. The company is also teaming up with O'Jays singer Walter Williams as he shares his experiences with MS, according to a release.
Teva's Copaxone is currently the top-selling drug for MS, with sales of $796 million in 2009, according to Bloomberg and AP reports. Copaxone may face generic competition as early as next year, however; FDA has accepted ANDAs from Sandoz/Momenta and Mylan/Natco, according to a Teva annual report. Copaxone's patent is good until 2014, according to FDA's orange book listings.

The Bennett Gymnasium on the campus of Northwood University remained a house of horrors and misery for the Charger men's basketball team Thursday night.
Hillsdale has struggled inside the home arena of the Timberwolves over the years, and the latest result was no different, as Northwood pulled ahead late and hung on for a 60-55 win over the Chargers in the GLIAC opener for both teams. The Chargers are now 2-1 overall and 0-1 in the conference, while Northwood improves to 5-2, 1-0.
Hillsdale had a tough time finding a consistent offensive rhythm all night long, shooting just 36 percent from the field. Northwood did an excellent job protecting the rim, outrebounding the Chargers 39-30, while blocking eight shots in the game, compared to none for Hillsdale.
Despite all that, Hillsdale led a majority of the game. The Timberwolves didn't take their first lead until five minutes remained in the second half, breaking what was the fifth tie score of the half, 48-46. But from there, Northwood never trailed again, scrapping out enough stops on defense to keep the Chargers from regaining the lead down the stretch.
Playing all but two minutes, senior forward Tim Dezelski led the Chargers with 18 points, nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in the contest. Sophomore forward Kyle Cooper was the only other player to crack double figures with 10 for Hillsdale.
The Chargers will seek their first GLIAC win at 3 p.m. Saturday when they battle Lake Superior State University at Sault Ste. Marie.

Who doesn't like a wedding? I would like to introduce you to two special couples that were just married at the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014.
Fawn and Geno Perkins. These two special people have stayed with us several times since we have been open these last 7 years. We enjoy their company each and every time they tell us they are coming for a visit. Last summer Fawn emailed me to tell me that they were getting married. Then she asked me if they could get married in December at the inn when it was all decorated for Christmas. I was not only overjoyed BUT honored that they wanted to not only get married at our inn but have their family and friends stay with us for a weekend as well. We started working on decorations, flowers, food, etc. until finally, Fawn decided since her and Geno have never been out of the country that they would prefer to spend extra on their honeymoon and decided to marry in a small ceremony in Brookfield closer to home. Although disappointed that they would not be marrying at the inn, I totally understood. That Fall, we received and invitation to their wedding which was to take place December 7th at a very small, low key and beautiful pavilion in a park. We were once again honored to be invited and accepted their invitation. We are so happy to share these beautiful pictures.
Rebecca and David. Married January 4, 2014. Not trying to reveal to much about this lovely couple. They wanted their wedding to be kept a secret until later this summer when they will be married again, they wanted me to share their intimate pictures that were taken at the inn this past weekend. Rebecca and David were neighbors, not even knowing it until friends had set them up on date. That was all it took for these two people to fall in love. There wedding was small and understated but was perfect for two people just looking to start a life together.
Congratulations to both of these wonderful couples for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

Ok. So I haven't wirtten about hockey much this year. But I do have a request for the Bruins fans out there and hopefully you'll humor me and take this request seriously.
I'm amped the Bruins are going to the Stanley Cup Finals, why wouldn't I be? It's a great thing for the team, the fans and for the city of Boston. Plus, why should they let the Red Sox get all the attention? Let those bitches work for it! Now I do have one request for the fans when going to the games in town and I'm sure there's more than a few who will disagree with this request, but hear me out. The Boston Bruins have 3, yes, THREE(1-2-3) players on the roster from the United States. Can we PLEASE drop the 'USA' chant?
Do I get why y'all do it? Yeah. I mean, we ARE in the US and Tim Thomas is from the US and we don't let the colors run and we killed Bin Laden. Yeah, yeah, I get it. I know you chant it to inspire the players or Thomas. But it's not about one guy – it's a team effort!
But there is just something about the chant during a normal hockey game that's just so cringe worthy. It just screams 'Douche Bag American' and what aboot the players from different lands that bust their humps? Where's there's chant?(Since you'll never be able to inspire Kaberle, can we all agree that he is the Eric Gagne of the Bruins?)
Oh and Vancouver has 6 American players. Two of them are Ryan Kesler & Andrew Alberts. Do you REALLY want to inspire them? I mean, Kesler is a beast and Alberts is…..ok….not so much Alberts. But you get what I'm trying to say, right?
With that said, if you're looking to chant something at the game – here are some ideas for you:
Thomas is Good!
Go Whalers….Errr…Ummm…I mean, never mind!
Chara is Tall!
Make Daddy Proud, Greggy!
And my personal favorite:
Kesler is a Cunt!
So feel free to take the ball and run with it. Come up with your own chant to inspire the Black & Gold and who knows, maybe we can get together and sing it to the boys over & over & over again during a parade in Boston? It could happen……..right?
Oh yeah…P.S. Can we PLEASE have Terry Francona, Doc Rivers & Bill Belichick speak to the lads & inspire them to win?

Winching-in Savings - Buying UsedPosted in How To: Electrical on February 18, 2014
No matter if you use your 4x4 for work or play, chances are, the best tool you can have onboard is a winch. For the recreational wheeler, a winch can be the lifeline that gets your rig out of a hairy situation. On the work side, a winch is a tool that can earn its worth in just a few uses on the job. With so many winches available and prices ranging from a couple hundred to thousands of dollars, people are always searching for the best deal on the must-have recovery tool. In this edition of Buying Used, we give you pointers on scouting a used winch. We are focusing on electric-powered winches, as they are the most common. As is the case when buying anything used, it's important to do your homework beforehand to make certain that a good deal is really a good deal.
A. Never buy a winch without testing to see if it works first. Assuming the winch is no longer attached to a vehicle, bring along a set of jumper cables and hook the jumpers to the winch's power leads. Make sure it winches in and out and that the free spool feature (clutch) is working correctly. This test will also tell you that the controller is the correct one and is in working order.
B. If at first glance the winch appears to be in rough shape, it is a good indicator of how it was treated and used. Flaking paint is not uncommon, but look closely to see if rust or corrosion is present. If it looks like it's been underwater, it probably has.
C. Typically, vehicle recovery winches will have four mounting points on the bottom. Look closely for cracks around the mounting feet and make sure the square-nuts and assorted hardware are included.
D. Power leads can be damaged from poor routing, so examine them closely for exposed wires or damage. These are easy to replace and a good negotiating point to get a better deal.
E. Ask if the cable or rope is the original one and how long it has been on the winch. Steel cable can have flat spots and hand-slicing frays, so be sure to wear gloves when checking it out. Rope is a bit more delicate and can deteriorate from sitting in the sun and lack of maintenance. Unless the cable or rope is in perfect shape, we would plan on purchasing a new line of your choice, simply to be on the safe side.
F. Make sure the winch is rated for your 4x4. The rating should be listed prominently on the motor plate. A good rule of thumb is to purchase a winch that is rated for 1.5-times the pulling power of your 4x4s total weight. For example, a 5,300-pound rig would need an 8,000-pound winch rating.
G. Do your research. Not all 9,000-pound winches are built alike or close to the same price. Even manufacturers such as Warn have multiple models that appear alike and are rated for the same weight, but have extremely different price points, speeds, and features.
H. For winches that have a non-integrated solenoid box (such as the one shown), check for discoloration or hot spots on the terminal studs. This can be a sign of arcing and an indicator of past or current damage.
I. You can rebuild nearly any winch, but parts range in price and availability. If the seller lists that the winch is not working or has been recently repaired, ask for a receipt or repair estimate. A dead solenoid is pretty common and inexpensive to replace.
J. Depending on the manufacturer, there should be an easy to locate serial number listed on the name/motor plate. A quick phone call to the manufacturer (or even a web search) can reveal the date of manufacture and give you the specifics of the winch if the seller is unaware.
K. Check the remote, cord, and plug for damage. They often get sucked into the winch and can have exposed wires or cracks.
L. If the winch has a Hawse fairlead, it needs to be smooth or new for rope—if gouged, it will cut the rope. Rollers on roller fairlead should spin freely. Replacement rollers are available.

Price range, per nightmin R max R
Vioolsdrift, Keimoes, Upington, Kuruman, Kakamas, Kimberley, Postmasburg, Springbok, De Aar , Sutherland, Victoria West, Calvinia, Hartswater, Kgalagadi , Hanover, Colesberg, Rietfontein, Nieuwoudtville, Kathu, Augrabies
The Northern Cape is South Africa's largest province yet the least populated. The capital, Kimberley, is known for diamonds and the largest man-made hole on the planet. Other major towns include Upington to the north, Springbok to the west and Sutherland in the south.
Roads throughout the region are well maintained and if you are looking for peace and tranquillity, we recommend you visit one of the many interesting towns or game farms. The western boundary of the Northern Cape lies along the Atlantic Ocean where diamonds are washed up onto beaches.
The cold nutrient-rich waters bring huge volumes of fish, sufficient for large colonies of Cape Fur Seals, Gannets and Penguins to establish breeding grounds. If star gazing is your thing, then the Northern Cape's sky will have you mesmerised.
Safari options, 4x4 trails and off-road biking routes are abundant throughout the area. Weaver's nests along the roads often house up to 500 birds and their weight can buckle sturdy telephone poles.
South Africa's first nation, the Khoisan group, occupied this area for millennia, leaving behind their rock paintings as a legacy. Several mission towns were established to convert the Khoisan, many of which still exist and can be visited.
The Northern Cape is unspoilt landscapes, fresh air, clear night skies, friendly people, and quaint towns.
Things to Do and See
The Bloodhound Project is a British-run initiative launched a few years ago to build a vessel that would break the 1000mph (1600kph) land speed record. The site where the attempt will be made in 2016 is at Hakskeen Pan, in the far north of the province .
Augrabies National Park is one of South Africa's national treasures. In the park are the Orange River Gorge and the 56m Augrabies (meaning Place of Great Noise in Khoi) waterfall, thunderous when the river is in flood. Several animal species are resident in the park including the Black Eagle, Cape Otter and inquisitive Meerkat.
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is an amalgamation of two border parks, one in South Africa, the other in Botswana. Here you are given the opportunity of glimpsing the black-maned Kalahari lion and if very fortunate, the secretive leopard. The park is a photographer's dream with barren red sands stark against any animals crossing them.
Note: Two camps are closed for renovations, re-opening October 2016
The Richtersveld National Park in the extreme west of the province is Africa's only mountain desert. Africa's deepest canyon, the Fish River Canyon, is found here too. One of the park's oddities is the halfmens (translated as half plant, half human) a cactus species that resembles the human body shape. Only 4x4 vehicles can enter the park.
Orange River Rafting is a super fun way of negotiating the massive Orange River and enjoying the Richtersveld National Park scenery and is safe for children.
The coastal town Kleinzee is part of the restricted diamond mining area owned by the De Beers Companies, but visitors are welcome to take conducted tours of the mine, 4x4 tours along the beaches to see the shipwrecks along this treacherous part of the coast and visit the massive Cape Fur Seal colony nearby .
If only to say you have visited a one-horse town once in your life, remember to stop – if you see it – at the small, friendly town of Pofadder (Puff Adder)
Kimberley's Big Hole and mine museum are definitely worth a visit. Kimberley has South Africa's only drive-in bar, at the historic Halfway House hotel. The Wildebeest Kuil Rock Art Centre just outside of the town contains over 400 San rock engravings.
The Orange River Wine Cellars in Upington offer wine tastings and cellar tours.
The dunes at the Witsand Kalahari Nature Reserve have two unique characteristics: on extremely dry and hot days (December to February), the dunes emit eerie sounds. This phenomenon is known as the Roaring Sand. Lightning strikes the dunes regularly, causing silica to melt into odd-shaped forms known as fulgurites.
Springtime in Namaqualand transforms the barren surroundings into Carpets of colourful Wild Flowers. This is one of nature's wonders and a must for anyone visiting the area between late August and late October.
The South African Large Telescope (SALT) is the largest single optical telescope in the southern hemisphere. It is located outside Sutherland, a town best known for being one of the coldest in South Africa and almost zero light pollution. Tours of the SALT facility are possible.
Many fossils have been discovered at the Salpeterkop Caves near Sutherland.
Where to Eat
Most towns have small hotels or eateries in which to buy a meal, the emphasis being mainly on quantity rather than quality but engaging with the establishment owner and kitchen staff will make every meal memorable.
If opting for farm accommodation or any of the guest houses en route, you are most likely to experience a hearty meal.
Where to Stay
There are hundreds of hotels, guest houses and safari camps spread throughout this region, all manner of accommodation, from farm-style living to absolute luxury, depending on where you visit.
AirFlights to Kimberley & Upington are via Johannesburg or Cape Town. Springbok has a small airstrip, as does Kleinzee and Sutherland. Private chartering can be organised for flights to and from these towns.
Car: Car rentals are available in Kimberley, Upington and Springbok.
Taxis: Taxi services operate in all towns listed above.
Did you know?
The Northern Cape is referred to as the Diamond Province.
The Augrabies waterfall is the largest in South Africa.
The Northern Cape encompasses three deserts and two of the largest rivers wind their way through this region.
Boesmansgat, near the town of Kuruman, is the 3rd deepest freshwater sinkhole in the world and is where the 1996 world record of 288m free dive was set by Nuno Gomez.
Several international and national paragliding records have been set in the Karoo town of De Aar.

U.S. sanctions mean that any citizen or business wanting to buy stuff from North Korea has to send a letter to the U.S. government asking for special permission. A few months back, we submitted a Freedom of Information Act request, asking for those letters.
Our request was granted: We recently received a packet of 18 letters from Americans who wanted to do business with the most isolated nation on the planet. We've posted all of the letters online.
We also managed to track down some of the people who wrote the letters. Here's what we learned:
Donald Sundman, president of Mystic Stamp Co. in Camden, N.Y., asked for permission to buy postage stamps from North Korea. Some North Korean stamps show pictures of dogs. There's at least one that, weirdly, has a picture of Princess Diana. Another, less weirdly, has a picture of a unified Korean peninsula.
Sundman told me he wanted to get the stamps because, basically, they're hard to get — which makes them appealing for some collectors.
This is one theme in the requests to do business with North Korea: People don't want North Korean stuff because it's cheap or well-made; people want the stuff because it's hard to get. They want special permission to buy stuff because the sanctions make it hard to buy stuff.
Patrick Forster, CFO of a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Tennessee, asked for permission to buy a pair of $220 jeans that were made in North Korea. He told me he thought they'd make a nice birthday present for his wife, whose father escaped from North Korea during the war. The government granted his request.
"She's only worn them one time," he said. "They didn't fit quite right."
The jeans are called NoKo jeans, and they're the brainchild of a few young Swedish guys who, on a whim, managed to get 1,100 pairs of jeans made in North Korea — despite the fact that jeans are seen as a symbol of imperialism in the country.
"We didn't use the word 'jeans' during the production," Tor Kallstigen told me. "The company was called Pants Provided."
One guy wanted to import North Korean beer. I couldn't track him down, but I did find a guy who had tasted it. Josh Thomas, a graphic designer in Hong Kong, told me it tastes just like Anchor Steam. He said North Korea bought a brewery in the U.K. and brought it over to North Korea.
I don't know whether the request to import North Korean beer was granted, but I've never seen North Korean beer in this country. Thomas says he tried to bring some back to Hong Kong with him. The bottles weren't very well-made, and when the barometric pressure dropped, they burst.
For More: Listen to our show, The North Korea Files.
Now, a story about doing business with a pariah state. The U.S. has no diplomatic relations with North Korea, no trade. And North Korea has faced decades of U.S. sanctions. But some Americans are hoping to get around those sanctions and do something completely forbidden: buy things from North Korea. Planet Money's Zoe Chace tracked some of them down.
ZOE CHACE, BYLINE: In order to buy something from North Korea, you have to ask for special permission, a waiver from the sanctions. I did a Freedom of Information request to get these public documents, so here they are. Thumbing through the letters, you got to wonder, what kind of sketchy, shadowy character would be so determined to trade with the sworn enemy of the United States?
DONALD SUNDMAN: I'm Donald Sundman. I'm president of Mystic Stamp Company, America's leading stamp dealer in Camden, New York.
CHACE: Stamps. That's the kind of thing people want to break the sanctions for, a little window into the soul of an enigmatic place. Kitsch drives a lot of these requests. It's cool to be able to say, look, I have a pair of jeans from North Korea. And indeed, somebody does, the wife of one Patrick Forster, CFO of a Coca-Cola bottling plant out in Tennessee.
PATRICK FORSTER: Hello, this is Patrick.
CHACE: Forster asked the government for permission to import exactly one pair of $220 jeans made in North Korea to give to his wife on her birthday. Her father escaped from the North during the war and left his family behind. And the U.S. government said yes. So what did she think?
FORSTER: I think she's only worn them one time.
CHACE: Oh, no. Really?
FORSTER: Yeah. They didn't fit quite right.
CHACE: The company that sells these North Korean jeans, it's a story in and of itself. It's called NoKo jeans. It's a Swedish company started by this young Swedish hipster kid who one day happened to be Googling North Korea when he came across an official-looking website with a list of exports on it.
Not actual exports. More like an export wish list, stuff North Korea wanted to be selling to the world.
TOR KALLSTIGEN: Potato starch, heavy shipbuilding, some rockets, and at the very end of this page a photo of a pair of blue jeans. And in the very bottom of the page below the jeans, there was an email address, like contact us if you would like to send your business inquiry.
CHACE: Tor Kallstigen and his friends, they were just kids in their 20s. They thought it'd be cool to make North Korean jeans and sell them in the West. So they filled out some paperwork, bought a couple suits, flew over to Pyongyang and acted like bosses.
KALLSTIGEN: We were speaking very big words about building relations between the European Union and North Korea.
CHACE: The North Koreans didn't really know how to make jeans, but the fact that this could happen at all in North Korea suggests that North Korea is sort of in on the joke. They know, on some level, that if, say, the Swiss brand is synonymous with fine craftsmanship and precision, the North Korean brand is odd, otherworldly kitsch. Why else would jeans have been on that list of wishful exports?
No one in North Korea wears jeans. They're not allowed.
KALLSTIGEN: The word jeans was basically blacklisted during the production so the company was called Pants Provided.
CHACE: Do you think they knew they were making jeans or they just thought they were making pants?
KALLSTIGEN: I mean, it didn't really matter to them as long as we weren't really speaking openly about it inside the country.
CHACE: Not every North Korean product is valuable only as kitsch. There is at least one product that North Koreans make that's just good. Beer. I couldn't track down the guy who wanted to import it, but I did find someone who'd tasted it.
JOSH THOMAS: Literally, if you closed your eyes and you had a - do you know of the beer called Anchor Steam?
CHACE: Yeah.
THOMAS: Yeah. It tastes exactly like that.
CHACE: Josh Thomas, graphic designer in Hong Kong, tasted this beer on a recent visit, sitting in a bar attached to the brewery. And it could've been a bar anywhere in the West.
THOMAS: It was really nice. We're sitting in there and there's six beers on draft. It's beautiful. It had been fully restored. It's like hardwood floors. We're watching Real Madrid on a projection screen.
CHACE: A bar like this is obviously the reason for sanctions in the first place. North Korea is a repressive regime. Most North Koreans could never afford to drink beer in this bar. The people who made these requests, they understand the purpose of our sanctions, to pressure the North Korean government to change. But some analysts will tell you sanctions are a double-edged sword, especially with dictators.
They can really hurt the people while the dictator finds other means of support. The stamp buyer, the jeans maker, even the beer drinker, they are curious, sure. But they all say they're hoping to reach around the sanctions and get to the North Korean people. Zoe Chace, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

What is a Community College
A Community College is the first two years of your four-year degree program. "MVCC First."
A Community College offers two-year associate degree programs designed for career and transfer opportunities.
A Community College will give you access to countless transfer opportunities to the four-year university of your choice.
A Community College offers 2(plus)2 programs with specified four-year universities.
A Community College offers you a valuable college experience.
A Community College is half the cost of a four-year university.
The Community College Concept:
Community colleges are a uniquely American institution. Their mission is to provide access to higher education to everyone - regardless of race, gender, social status, income, geographic location, etc. In support of this goal, community colleges have a tradition of open admissions and low tuition. Public support enables them to keep tuition low and quality high.
Across the U.S., more than 10 million students attend community colleges to improve their future - and that of their families. In return, they improve the country's ability to compete with the rest of the world, and they provide the educated populace on which a free nation depends. For this reason, community colleges have been referred to as "democracy's colleges."
Community colleges are teaching institutions. As such, their entire focus is on creating a learning-centered environment. Classes are kept small and opportunities for interaction between instructor and students are frequent. Community colleges are leaders in developing new programs and new instructional techniques.
Community colleges are strongly oriented toward meeting the needs of the areas they serve. They are actively involved in providing continuing education for adult students, and training needed to support employers services, Center for Community and Economic Development, and two campuses are all the result of its commitment to this orientation.

From our Suffer Faces Tumblr, your face would look Chris Ellis too, if Tyler Farrar was behind you, about to steal your series points in the MFG Cyclocross Season Finale!
Below is another photo showing Tyler on the runup with black tape on his bike. Can you guess what bike that is?
Tyler is in Garmin kit, on the right.
On the runup and that black tape hides what bike?
Runup photo: Dennis Crane
On our Facepage, heard from Chris and his wife that he held off Tyler's charge and kept his points. Even more awesome.
More photos in high-rez and lightboxed are on our G+ page and Flickr.

You can find our June Challenge....HERE
Mixed Media Canvas.
Hi Everyone, it's my turn to share my June project tutorial with you all. May I be cheeky and suggest you grab a coffee or two and pull up a chair...as this tutorial is quite long and definitely picture heavy...
My tutorial is for my Mixed Media Canvas that I made for our challenge this month...I hope you enjoy it.
Everyone's style is different and this is just the way I do mine...I'm not here to teach, I just wanted to share "my way" with you all.
To start I collected all the items I needed for the first stage as you can see in the photo below.
My canvas is 12"x 12", but if you have never attempted this style of mixed media on a canvas before, it would be better for you to start with a smaller canvas.
I would recommend using a deep edged canvas as once they are finish they can be quite heavy, the deeper edged canvas tend to keep their shape better than the thin or cheaper ones. It is worth paying attention to that as it will be something that you may want to keep or sell.
I have used a genuine photo on my canvas (my godmother's wedding from way back in the early 50's)
I used mod podge to adhere the photo to the canvas, then left it to dry overnight...of course you don't have to use a photo, you can use anything as your focal point. You can also photo copy a photo and use that rather than a genuine photo, make sure that it is completely dry before using it though otherwise the ink will smear.
The next stage was to lightly brush over the photo with mod podge, ensuring the edges of the photo get a good seal...again this was left for a while to dry completely...before adding another coat.
(Tip....The edges of the photo must be sealed so your inks don't run underneath and cause air bubbles under the image.)
While I was waiting for the mod podge to dry, I collected the bits and pieces that I would be using on my canvas, although I did add extra bits as I went along...
Here you can see the lace,beads button,flowers,pegs,all sorts of stuff, including bits of jewellery.
(Tip.... if you use any metal items that may be prone to rust, then give them one or two coats of mod podge to seal them.)
Here I have started to add the scrim/cheesecloth, using mod podge, then added some chicken wire shaped grey board.
( Tip....personally I try to keep my pieces mainly horizontal or vertical as too many curves can make the finished canvas look untidy )
(Tip....I left my canvas on an easel in my lounge for a few days, this way I can see if I needed to add anything else...or remove any pieces.)
Now I am completely happy with all the elements on my canvas, I gave it a coat of gesso, making sure I got in to all the small areas where items have been glued.....I also used the textured gesso and kind of stippled it in some areas.
I left it to dry overnight, then gave it another 2 coats of the smooth gesso,making sure it was dry between coats.
I chose Silver and Raspberry Cosmic Shimmer Mist sprays and I also mixed up some Mica Powder in Mustard Gold for the main colours for my canvas. I also used Artiste Spritzing Ink in White, it has a gorgeous shimmer to it and covers a bit better than the white in the Cosmic Shimmer Mist.
I scrunched up 2 baby wipes and covered my photo, these sprays do tend to go everywhere.
I sprayed from the top right down to the bottom left and then sprayed the opposing corners in the mustard gold. I did use a heat tool to help with the drying, please be careful not to get too close as the gesso under the spray inks can bubble and blister.
I then resprayed the same areas....once dry I did spray for a third time.
Again once dry I added the silver spray to the corners, note the corners where the Raspberry colour is has now gone a lovely mauve shade, while the gold/green corners have gone silvery grey.
(Tip...drying between 2 different colour sprays,stops them from muddying)
(Tip....you will need to change the wipes covering the photo as they will have got quite inky...if you find any colour on your image,you can remove it with a clean wet wipe, the wipe won't affect your photo as it has been sealed with the mod podge.)
Leaving my canvas overnight to allow the inks to finish drying, some areas like under the flowers etc tend to stay a little damp even after using a heat gun....I then covered the photo with wipes and went all over the canvas with the Artiste White Spritzing Ink...I laid the canvas flat to dry for a couple of hours.
The edges of the canvas can be painted, or inked,the choice is yours...I dabbed mine with a sponge soaked in the same inks I used for the front.
( Click on the photo to enlarge it )
(Tip... to finish you can highlight areas with gilding wax, which I haven't done on this one,but have on other canvas's that I've done.)
So here we are, my finished canvas, sorry about the background view, it was such a bright day that the light in my kitchen was better for the photo...
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and I am so pleased you read through to the end...
Don't forget we still have 2 weeks left in our June Challenge...which you can find HERE

Before my hands packed up, I managed to pipe four and they do look prettier. Next time I might add a dash of milk to the mix to slacken it. A wide star nozzle is best for this task.
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
140g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste – you can use vanilla extract if you prefer
300g plain flour

|Hot Rubber Babes
Short review: The ladies inside are covered from head to toe in their latex fetish uniforms and showing them off to whomever will watch. They have full bodies covered in latex, rubber, and PVC with no skin showing and it makes it hard for them to breathe. Not only are there solo girls posing and fooling around but there are lesbian scenes of latex babes as well. One thing you won't find, however, is hardcore sex.
Content Amount: There are just about the right amount of scenes inside. They have exclusively shot scenes and they constantly updating the site a few times a month with new ones. They are maintaining their update schedule to add more soon.

I just wanted to get some input from the community on what the county should do about a burned out, boarded up duplex in the western area. It has been a trashy looking Eye Sore to our neighborhood for the last four years. The residents of the neighborhood have signed a petition and taken it to the county council who offered no path forward. There have been many offers made to purchase the home and also bids from contractors to tear it down but the owner refuses to settle for either one. This home not only has a negative impact on community value, but also creates conditions that invite criminal activity and foster an environment that is unsafe and unhealthy for the children of our community.

I've been meaning to send you a quick note. I have been reading your blog for years and don't believe I've ever commented. I found your blog some time ago and would be so excited to see it in my reader! I never knew the world of home design blogs. I used your home as inspiration and kept plugging away around here. I've recently started a home decor/DIY blog and still love reading your posts. Your house is beautiful! Thanks for opening my eyes to such a fun and inspiring community!

I just usually go back to my old home decor after Christmas - but only because winter doesn't last long here in AZ. Snowflakes feel so out of place here after Christmas!! I'll be putting up Valentine's decor soon, though :) I love your mantel and penguins though. Really cute!

I love winter so I get inspired by the neutral contrasts of the outdoors: dark brown, gray or black against whites, silver, creams. Still dragging my feet this winter, though, so I haven't finished. Thinking about adding a few pops of red...just because I can (living areas are pretty neutral, which means I can play with artwork & accessories :))

text: Today is last day doing volunteer in charleston South Carolina. we went to the low country food bank, helped to work categorizing of unsold products. We were taken back then we started categorizing boxes and boxes of lotions, hair products, mouthwash, skin cleansers, and some an ornament for helloween and christmas and that was difficult to categorize because we did not forget the anti-aging creme that just seemed to be multiplying. Their work mainly get food from people, organizations, and sometimes the government that They have been working to help poor people giving their lives unsold products in supermarkets and pharmacies. This volunteer became good experience for me.
