Emily Heist Moss wants us to be able to talk about the appropriateness of sexual conversations in the workplace, instead of just dismissing concerns.
When I was 18, I waited tables at an Italian restaurant in my hometown. The staff was the typical collection of teenagers, college drop-outs, townies, and single moms you'd expect at a suburban casual dining establishment. Our boss, Jeff, was an outrageous flirt, but his banter was generally accepted as a harmless, occasionally welcome distraction from the frenzy of the dinner rush. One night, at the pre-dinner staff meeting, Jeff lectured us on the proper cleaning technique for the mini-fridges under the counter. You had to kneel down to get at the back corners, he explained. He paused, pointing to one waitress, "Come on, Kari, you know what it's like to spend plenty of time on your knees…." And then, while the entire staff looked on, he made the classic tongue-in-cheek blowjob gesture.
At the end of the night, I went to Jeff's office where he was tallying receipts. I politely told him that I'd found his comment at staff meeting to be offensive. I said that, although we worked in a casual, intimate environment, he was the boss and it was his job to set a higher bar for appropriate humor. He rolled his eyes, pointed to a poster on the wall, and said, "There's the hot line for sexual harassment if you want to call it." I didn't, but I wish that I had.
Jeff's blowjob gag was not directed at me, and I was not the one being disparaged in front of my coworkers. Kari, the target, may even have found it amusing. At the very least, I didn't bump into her on the way to Jeff's office to file my complaint. As an employee of Jeff's, however, the indirect implications of his joke rippled out and created, for me, a hostile work environment. The joke itself was sexually inappropriate, but the real damage it caused was the condoning of a certain type of objectifying humor. In responding to my rebuke with dismissive hostility, he denied me a safe and comfortable process for discussing my concerns. Jeff was supposed to be the guy I turned to if I felt harassed by another employee. He was supposed to be an impartial and fair resource for the whole staff. Instead, his behavior created a space where that kind of commentary was sanctioned by the management.
Many years later, I was at a work event, sitting at a table with half a dozen male coworkers I'd never met before. One of them, in casual conversation, used the expression "sucking dick." The remark wasn't directed at me ,and it wasn't even about oral sex; it was merely a turn of phrase he'd chosen to describe some asexual phenomenon. Mid-sentence, he turned directly to me, "Oh man… I'm… uh, I'm really sorry… Was that offensive? Did that bother you? I didn't mean to… Well, I hope you weren't… Yeah…..Sorry." I assured him his language didn't bother me in the slightest. He sighed with relief, beginning his story anew. "Wait," he said, whipping back to me one last time, "Are you a lesbian?" I balked. I don't think anyone, much less a co-worker, has ever asked me my sexual orientation, point-blank. His question put me in the awkward position of revealing personal information to a slew of colleagues or pointedly refusing in front of the table. I let a raised eyebrow convey my discomfort, and he let the question drop.
After the fact, the whole exchange struck me as preposterous. I had never been offended by the language choice, but I didn't appreciate being singled out as the only person at the table who might have been. Most of all, I really didn't like being put on the spot about my sexual orientation.
For many professional women, depending on their industry, the feeling of exclusion is much more subtle and potentially damaging than outright sexism. Had this guy made a sexist comment at me, I know my rights and my options for defending them. This guy, however, was singling me out for specific comment because of my gender. It's equivalent to a teacher calling on a black student to ask how he feels about reparation politics. From the moment he asked me, and only me, my feelings on his word choice, it was obvious that I was somehow a different type of colleague than the rest of the table. It was as if, since I didn't a penis, I was an obstacle to the flow of conversation, instead of a contributor to it.
These kind of exclusionary tactics may seem surface deep—and they are—but they often facilitate professional divisions that damage women's careers in the long run. A friend of mine had a boss who used to send pictures of women in bikinis to all the men on her team. She found herself excluded from email chains with substantive work content because she hadn't been included on the original raunchy note. He also prefaced conference calls with, "Hey guys, just want to let you know that Becca is on the line… watch your words!" How inappropriate was their conversation if this sort of preemptive warning was necessary? Suddenly Becca is depicted as an impediment to the project instead of a part of it.
The most important distinction between the restaurant experience and my "Are you a lesbian?" interrogation was the quality of management. I later recounted the dinner conversation to my male supervisor. He laughed with me at the absurdity of it, but he also made sure to ask if I wanted him to intervene on my behalf. I assured him that all was well. I had complete confidence in my boss that, should I ever need his support regarding some gender-related colleague issue, he had my back.
It's a fine line between, "You look nice today," "You look nice today" with a leering grin and an ogling chest-level stare, and "You look nice today" if you're worried that not looking nice might cost you your job. Contextualizing a workplace conversation helps us determine what falls on which side of the harassment line, but it's still a distinction that's extremely difficult to articulate, and even harder to prove. A company can't control the actions or words of an individual employee. They can only set policies that create clear expectations of what is acceptable work behavior, and provide an easy, hassle-free avenue to address issues.
I wish I had called that hotline five years ago. Kari may have found Jeff's blowjob joke hilarious, but my personal level of comfort took a tumble. Everyone deserves a workplace where they feel safe, respected, and heard, and damn, did that man need a refresher course.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WWJ) – Some parents may still keep their kids at home — but schools in Newtown, Connecticut are opening their doors today for the first time since Friday's deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, which will remain closed.
The tragedy at Sandy Hook is having an effect on children here in Michigan. Many were in attendance last night at a vigil attended by about 100 people on the campus of Lawrence Technological University. As the names of each of the victims were read, a flower was placed on a rock painted with the words "Sandy Hook." It was clear that even several states away, emotions are still raw as a result of the shootings.
"How could you do that to kids," asked Melanie Tracy, who brought along her 11-year-old daughter and two neighbor children. "I don't understand it at all," she said while choking back tears.
"I feel sad that the kids died, and the teachers and stuff … and I hope my grandpa takes care of 'em cause he's in heaven," an eight-year-old girl told WWJ's Sandra McNeill.
Eleven-year-old Sydney Tracy said she's scared, too.
"Yeah, I'm kinda scared cause I don't want this to happen, and my mom and dad — once I go to middle school — they're gonna have me bring a cell phone with me at all times," Tracy said.
Both children say their schools are now locking doors and reinforcing safety drills.

Some background......some of this is my opinions and its all what I remember Alan telling me. I did not know Alan's father, he had died a few years before I met Alan. Apparently Alan in many ways was like his father, neither of them lived by the "program". Rita said the first time she saw Alan's dad he was in the backyard wearing nothing but a Hindu diaper doing some kind of Hindu ritual. Apparently the depression really effected the Bates family fortune. During the depression Alan's father somehow bought an old WW1 biplane. On Sundays Alan's dad would sell airplane rides. In order to intice people to buy a ride, Alan's mother would stand in the crowd with little Alan and she would "buy" a ticket, go for a short ride. After they landed safely, Alan's dad would address the crowd saying "this lovely young lady and her baby just flew in my plane; see folks it's perfectly safe"'.
Alan was fond of telling the story that his father was an electrician and decided to take on Alan as his apprentice. The first day on the job, Alan's dad was on a ladder wiring something up while Alan was on the ground acting as his gofor. His dad ran into some problem and muttered "son of a bitch" Alan thought he said "flip the switch" which Alan promptly did. The jolt knock Alan's dad off the ladder, he landed flat on his back....the first word out of his mouth after he recovered was "YOU'RE FIRED". Alan used to laugh his shortest profession was as an electrician.
Alan and his brother and sister were raised in a wooden victorian house in the Highlands section of Louisville near the corner of Grinstead Dr. and Ray Ave (the house was torn down a number of years ago, the site is now occupied by an office building). By coincident Alan and I had the same first grade teacher, Miss Rudell, although Alan was 20 years ahead of me....I was raised in the same neighborhood (so was C.W. Stoll). When Alan was a teen his family moved to big farm house in Lyndon, a suburb on Louisville's east end. When Alan and Rita returned from California after Alan got out of the Army, they built their house on part of the property.
I did know Alan's mother when I was a Sea Scout. I don't remember much about her except she was crippled with arthritis. She used to write cross word puzzles and she had several published in the NY Times.
The reason Alan was able to do all those really interesting things such as draw steamboat plans, establish the Howard Museum, transform the AVALON into the BELLE was because he didn't work at a regular job. Alan didn't suffer fools lightly and, it seemed to me, that all the bosses Alan ever had he considered fools, so he could never really hold a regular job for long. His independent architect business never flourished, his main source of income was playing trumpet in dance bands and Rita's work as the head of a school cafeteria. Alan was an accomplished musician and played in bands all his life, ending up when Alan was in his 70's in a German ompah band. It was music that brought Alan and George McBride together when they were in high school. It was George who introduced Alan to the river, before that Alan was a railfan.

Summary Meeting Notes: August 1, 2012 Infrastructure Equity PEG
August 1, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon
PEG Attendees: Afifa AhmedShafi, Amalia Alarcon de Morris, Susan Aldrich, Roger Anthony, Roger Averbeck, Matthew Brown, Alex Deley, Justin Fallon Dollard, Liz Gatti, Karyn Hanson, Celia Heron, Muna Idow, Jeff Leighton, Kathryn Levine, Jackeline Luna Acosta, Karen Meyer, Midge Purcell, Olivia Quiroz, Steph Routh, Michelle Rudd, Joe VanderVeer, Sara Weiner Collier.
Other Attendees: Michele Crim, Ricardo Banuelos, Bob Glascock, Joan Frederiksen, Michelle Kunec & Chris Scarzello (Bureau of Planning & Sustainability); Rachel Whiteside (Bureau of Development Services); Janet Senior (Water Bureau); Courtney Duke, Patricia Neighbor & Sara Schooley (Portland Office of Transportation).
Facilitator: Andrée Tremoulet, Commonworks Consulting
View the original agenda, including materials, for this meeting.
Key Points and Outcomes
- After listening to presentations about equity and infrastructure, IE PEG members developed a preliminary list of items to consider in framing the concept of infrastructure equity. This list will be refined at future meetings.
Presenter: Michele Crim, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, and Andrée Tremoulet, Facilitator
Summary: Highlights include the following:
- A new Equity Group, facilitated by Judith Mowry of the Office of Equity and Human Rights, will meet monthly. All PEG members are invited to attend. The role of the Equity Group is to further use of an equity lens for the Comprehensive Plan Update. The Equity Group will help to frame PEG meeting content, assisting the Citizen Involvement PEG with the planning process, and analyzing the output of PEG work in a holistic way.
- Future meeting notes should not only document questions asked by PEG members, but also include a summary of the responses. All interested parties are invited to the launch of a new Racial Equity Strategy Guide on Tuesday, August 7. The Guide was developed by the Portland Equity Working Group and published by the Urban League of Portland.
- Meeting feedback cards, recommended by the Community Involvement PEG, will be provided to IE PEG members at all meetings. Responses will be used to improve future meetings.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
- Racial Equity Strategy Guide, prepared by the Portland Equity Working Group and Urban League of Portland
Equity and Public Services
Presenters: Midge Purcell, Urban League of Portland, and Joe VanderVeer, Portland Commission on Disabilities.
Summary: Midge Purcell presented an overview of equity issues as they pertain to communities of color. Key points included the following:
- Although the legal infrastructure supporting racial discrimination was largely dismantled during the Civil Rights era, disturbing disparities in wages, academic achievement, child poverty and other areas persist in Portland today, four decades later.
- These disparities affect the future prosperity and global competitiveness of the city as a whole because racial and ethnic diversity is increasing.
- Intentional and unintentional consequences have the same impact, and both need to be addressed through applying an equity lens and framework to guide decision making.
- Two things are needed in policy development and service delivery: decisions guided by data and a clear intention to address disparities.
- Some communities have a history of bad experiences with city services and thus have low expectations. This can affect service delivery. Example: Seattle moved away from a complaintdriven system for street light replacement to a regular maintenance schedule because residents of some neighborhoods were consistently less likely to call when a light was out of service than others.
Joe VanderVeer presented an overview of equity issues as they pertain to people with disabilities. Key points include the following:
- The population of individuals with disabilities is diverse, both in terms of underlying demographic characteristics and types of disabilities. It will grow as the population ages. His presentation focused on people with mobility and vision impairments, as these most impact the use of the physical environment and city services and infrastructure.
- The concept of unintended consequences is very important. A small change in a design detail can make a big difference. Consideration of the needs of persons with disabilities should occur early in the program/project development process.
- People with disabilities are more likely than others to rely on transit and pedestrian infrastructure to get around. Barriers in these essential services and facilities cause some people with disabilities to avoid venturing outside.
- Disability concerns in public services/infrastructure include: the lack of physically accessible playground equipment and bathrooms in parks, crosswalks that are difficult to navigate, conflicts with bike infrastructure, and bio swale designs.
- The primary disability problem in Portland is the availability of accessible housing. A priority is to improve pedestrian infrastructure adjacent to subsidized housing.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
The handout below includes specific suggestions on areas to address.
- Disability Equity in Portland, prepared by Joe VanderVeer, Portland Commission on Disabilities
City Infrastructure
Presenter: Michelle Kunec, Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Summary: Michelle Kunec described the City of Portland's role in public infrastructure.
Discussion points follow:
- Public infrastructure is guided by a number of city plans (such as the Comprehensive Plan and the Transportation Systems Plan). Policies adopted at a higher level (the Comprehensive Plan) may impact how existing plans are implemented, and details from existing and developing plans may impact how policies in higher level plans are framed.
- The Comprehensive Plan ("the plan") may define guiding principles for bureaus to develop infrastructure levels of service. The plan will not create those levels of service.
- The Comprehensive Plan does not directly set priorities for capital projects. The plan will create a list of projects (a menu) that may be needed to support the City's future growth needs for 20 years. Also, the plan may have policies to guide project selection, including community involvement and selection criteria.
- The Comprehensive Plan focuses on Cityowned infrastructure and services. The plan can impact infrastructure and services owned and operated by another public agency, in two ways. First, the plan can address the City portion of interdependent services (e.g., public improvements around transit stops). Second, the plan can make nonbinding policy recommendations on nonCity services.
- The Transportation Services Plan is on the same timeline as the Comprehensive Plan.
- The Comprehensive Plan can recommend that City bureaus make infrastructure investments in certain areas, such as to address service gaps or better address critical disparities.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
- An Introduction to Portland's Infrastructure, Michelle Kunec/Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Intersection of Equity and Infrastructure
Presenter: Andrée Tremoulet, Facilitator
Summary: Andrée Tremoulet asked the group, "What do we mean by infrastructure equity?" With responses recorded, the group was polled to determine if there were any items that PEG members could not accept; none were identified. Members asked that the group further discuss "equity vs. equality" and "underserved populations" (see Parking Lot, below).
Infrastructure equity includes the following characteristics:
- Considers the availability, quality and comprehensiveness of services and facilities on a geographic basis; geographic equity
- Benefits all population groups
- Consistent goals/levels of service: available everywhere
- Equal is not the same as equitable
- Responds to population needs by geography and groups
- Addresses historic disparities; recognizes history and outcome disparities when considering consistency and equality
- Do no harm bottomline principle for communities that have been negatively impacted in the past
- Addresses future growth and changing demographics
- Comprehensive: considers up front what is best both for the whole community and for varied populations
- Seeks to find common ground among conflicting goals; is there a solution that benefits all that isn't a compromise for some groups?
- Involves people who are affected in the planning and prioritization
- Shares costs and burdens
- Supports better quality of life and increased access to opportunity
- Provides meaningful and realistic options and choices
- Includes proactive actions to address needs of populations with low expectations, due to history of negative interactions with city services
- This list represents the output of the IE PEG's initial brainstorming session and may be further refined by the group.
- A second question, "What is an unintended consequence?" may be addressed at a future meeting.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
- Diagram of Infrastructure Equity, Andree Tremoulet/Facilitator
Public Comment
No public comment was received
Parking Lot (to be addressed at a future meeting)
- What is an unintended consequence?
- What do we mean by equity? How is it different from equality?
- What do we mean by underserved populations? Who is underserved?
Next Steps
- IE PEG members: please think further about the Parking Lot questions, above.
For more information, please contact either Bob Glascock, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, at (503) 823-7845 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Andrée Tremoulet, Facilitator, at (503) 267-9255 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gutty Win
Anything worthwhile doesn't come easy. I don't know who said that but it certainly applied to last night's gut-wrenching, must-win game in Washington.
How about Chase Utley!
His next run scored will put him in exclusive company, the 21st player in MLB history to reach 200 hits, 30 homers, 100 RBI and 130 runs in a single season. Among the names on that list are Albert Pujols, Todd Helton, Alex Rodriquez, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, Stan Musial and Chuck Klein.
Chase got to 200 hits last night. Dave Cash was the last Phillies second baseman to reach to that number, 213 in 1975 and 206 the year before. Cash didn't walk often which triggered "he's not a prototype leadoff hitter" complaints (we didn't even have e-mail back then).
It was great seeing Phillies fans at RFK Stadium emotionally hanging on every pitch. TV did a great job showing the passionate Phillies fans.
Remember the Phillies' opening-season ad campaign, "Paint the Town Red?" Well, the fans have brought it back. Red is in.
Speaking of TV, Comcast SportsNet's rating last night hit 9.6 (about 280,000 homes were watching the game). That's the highest regular-season rating ever for any sport carried by CSN.
ESPN has picked up Friday night's game from Miami (game time moved tom 7:35 to 7:09 p.m.). ESPN will be blacked out in the Philly region as the game will be on CSN. Saturday is a 1:25 p.m. exclusive national telecast on FOX. Phillies fans nationwide will be able to follow those games.
(Because of other commitments, I was unable to post the lineup today).

GO PHILLIES!!! I hope that your gentlmen make the playoffs for me.
Biggest 3 games of the year coming against an emotional team with Girardi possibly leaving. These Phils remind me of 93 but I think this team is younger and has many years of playoffs ahead. Does anyone know a hot spot to watch the games Saturday and Sunday in Philly?

Tutorial Tuesday: DIY Succulent Painted Pots
Hello and happy Tuesday! I have been meaning to get to this project forever and am really happy I finally tackled it! With this crazy heat & drought we have had in California, I have been looking for a way to add a little greenery to our townhome without having to use up more water.
On top of that, with my energetic son, my almost-two-year-old daughter, and another little one on the way (wait, did I mention that?) we don't have much time or brain power to worry about keeping plant life alive, which is why hopping on the succulent train seemed like an excellent idea.
I am already completely in love with these little beauties-even more so now that they sit in these hand-painted pots! So check out the tutorial below to see how simple this project is!:
~ Succulent varieties (about $3.50 a piece at your local nursery and they have the BEST names!)
~ Small terra cotta pots
~ Paint in assorted colors (I used gold, turquoise, & white)
~ Painter's tape
~ Paint brushes
~ Clear coat paint
1.) Paint the outside of your terra cotta pots in your desired hue (I did 3 coats!), as well as the inner few inches up until where you will pot the plant. Allow the paint to dry.
2.) With you painter's tape, section off geometric patterns onto the outside of your pot. You can add triangles, stripes, or whatever type of shape your heart desires. I didn't measure mine, I just taped along until I liked the look of things:)
3.) Paint the taped-off shapes on the outside of your pots in assorted, contrasting colors, it took me about 3-4 coats, and allow them to dry.
4.) For my hexagon planter, I cut out shapes from printed card-stock....
I decided to go ahead and make you another printable, just to keep things simple, and you can print it up for free right here: HEXAGON PRINTABLE from Juneberry Lane
4.) (cont'd) ...after I cut out the card stock shapes, I taped them onto the outside of the pot.
5.) With my painter's tape, I taped off each of the hexagon shapes, removing my card stock guideline and then painting the different shapes one at a time until I had the amount of hexagons I wanted.
6.) If you need to repot your succulents (that is, if your storebought plants don't come in the size to slip right inside the terra cotta plants), just make sure to use a potting soil blend made for cactus & succulent plants.
7.) Add a few tablespoons of soil to the bottom of your pots and then transfer those beauties into your painted vases.
And you have a bright pop of color to liven up a windowsill or countertop and some lovely, very low-maintenance plants to make you smile as you head into fall!
Easy, fun, & frugal too! I can't wait to head back to the nursery with the kids this weekend and let them pick out their own mini-version of succulent plants & mini pots to paint themselves!

~ 4 Decorative Shelf/Screen door Brackets (I got my beauties for $15 for a set of 4 right here: Decorative Brackets
~ Piece of wood (I took an envelope to my home goods store to measure the dimensions)
~ Wood glue
~ Paint
~ Paintbrushes
~ Clear, acrylic coat paint
~ Mini frames (these are from Michaels for $1.50 each in the bins upfront)
1.) Apply a thin strip of glue along the base of your decorative shelf bracket (this is actually a little too generous and the glue expands and you will have to wipe the excess with a wet towel:) Attach it to one end of the board, flush against the back & sides. I held mine in place for about 1-2 minutes.
2.) Repeat the above step on the other side of the board.
3.) Divide the length of your board into thirds (for example, mine measured 2 feet across, which is 24 inches). Mark a pencil dot at 1/3 of the way across and 2/3 of the way. (My 24 inch board got a dot at 8 inches and 16 inches).
4.) Glue the remaining two shelf brackets down on the center of the pencil marks, flush against the back of the baseboard. Allow the glue to dry.
5.) Paint your board & shelf brackets in a color that matches your room decor:)
6.) So after a little consideration, I decided to make you a printable, in case you want to avoid painting the inside of your frames and using a paint pen to write in your sorter categories-I did! You can find your free printable RIGHT HERE. Or you can go ahead and paint the inside of the frame and write with a paint pen the categories for inside the mini frames.
7.) I used the paper inside the frame as a guide to cut out my printables, then placed them inside the frames and glued them to the front of the mail sorter.
8.) And that's all there is to it! A gorgeous handmade creation to keep all of those pesky envelopes & receipts in proper order!

DIY Dishwasher Magnet...it's the little things:)
I know, I know, it sure has been awhile! But I have been so busy with my shop and party styling that I am just now getting back to this lovely little site of mine. I have so many fun things planned for the future of Juneberry Lane and I promise we will get there one little bit at a time. But for now I will be popping in whenever I can to bring you all sorts of party, craft, & design inspiration and as many DIY tutorials as possible.
So let's jump back into the swing of things with the easiest tutorial ever-a small magnet for the dishwasher to let family & friends know whether or not the dishes inside are clean or dirty; after all, you know I like making the most mundane gadgets in the house as pretty as possible...
~ Mini Ornate Frame ($1.50 at Michael's)
~ Chalkboard paint (or whatever color you like:)
~ Paint brush
~ Adhesive backed, heavy duty magnet (save $ by using the magnet off the back of a refrigerator shopping list pad that you find at the dollar store!)
~ Paint pen
1.) Paint the inside cardboard of the frame with chalkboard paint (or whatever color your heart desires!)
3.) Using a book or ruler, draw a line straight across the middle of the painted chalkboard with your paint pen.
4.) Allow to dry:)
5.) On the top side of the painted cardboard, just above the line, write "Clean" with your paint pen.
6.) Once dry, flip the cardboard over and write "Dirty" on the other side of the line.
7.) Attach your adhesive magnet to the back side.
And there you go, once you train your family to flip the magnet whenever they start or unload the dishwasher (as if anyone does it but you;) no one ever has to ask "Are these dishes clean or dirty?" in your house again:) See you soon...

DIY Lollipop Turkeys!!
Well, we are just days away from Turkey day, so I am sending you a couple final projects that you can put together with your little ones! This activity is both fun and SUPER easy-I promise, because I managed to make this happen on a non-preschool day and my 3.5 year old lended a hand.
Now, if you know my boy, you know it is NO small feat finishing a craft with him in the room. But I think the enticement of potential lollipops sweetened the deal, because he was way too eager to help out with this one! This makes a great treat to take to school or even to a family dinner where there will be kiddos at the table. And everything you need is either laying around the house already, or gathered simply by a quick trip to your local dollar store. Here's how you do it . . .
Supplies You Will Need (Part 1):
~ Assorted decorative paper
~ Glue gun & sticks (you can use regular glue too, if you have the patience:)
~ 2 sizes of floral styrofoam discs (I found mine at the $ Tree)
~ Small styrofoam ball (cut in half-also from the $ Tree)
~ 2 Googly eyes
~ 1 orange bead
~ Red ribbon
~ Craft paint & brushes
* see below for a few more ;)
1.) Trace your styrofoam discs onto two different decorative papers (you will be covering the front of each disc).
2.) Cut out both circles and set them aside.
2.) Cover the outside edge of both of your styrofoam discs with craft paint.
3.) Paint your small styrofoam ball as well.
4.) Allow them to dry.
About halfway through, I decided I wanted a base for my lollipop turkey, so that I could dress it up a bit and also add some stability for the little guy on the table. Here are a few more supplies I added to the activity . . .
~ Kraft wrapping paper
~ Tape
~ Small book
~ Empty masking tape roll
~ Scissors
5.) Wrap the book in kraft or wrapping paper and hot glue the empty masking tape roll to the front.
6.) You can write a 'Happy Thanksgiving' message on the front of your book base - I happened to have some really pretty adhesive letters, so my little guy helped me stick on a fancy message!
7.) Take your decorative paper circles and glue them to the front of the styrofoam discs.
8.) Glue the painted/halved styrofoam ball to the front of the smaller of the discs.
9.) Glue the medium disc to the larger styrofoam disc. With your glue gun, attach two googly eyes to the front of your 'turkey face'.
10.) Cut a small piece of red ribbon (you can cut out a small triangle on the edge if you want!) and attach it directly under the eyes to make the 'gobbler'.
11.) Adhere the orange bead to the top of the red ribbon gobbler.
12.) With your hot glue, adhere the large styrofoam disc to the top of your empty masking tape roll. Add in your lollipops along the top edges of your two styrofoam discs to make the turkey 'feathers'. And that's it!

HarmonKaslow necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 57 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
not applicable ... I want an iconic graphic
We are a motion picture production company and would like to have a logo to represent the project we are doing.
Broad audience ... +40 year old ... probably male
We are looking for something representative of the themes of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"; a contemporary update of the image of Atlas holding up the World is one vision but we are open to other interpretations.
For example, Atlas is holding up the world and the world is made of intersecting train tracks and a train is moving across the face of the globe. Also we would like to incorporate the logo, "FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN - FOREVER" somewhere, perhaps on a pedestal. Imagination is key!
This project is ideal for artists who are intimately aware of the book (Atlas Shrugged) and has a creative / contemporary view of how Ayn Rand's vision might be embodied in a logo.
KEY IMAGERY: Railroad Tracks, Trains, Bridge, Atlas holding up the World, a shield with two T's in the Center (for Taggart Transcontinental), a bracelet made of green-blue metal, molten metal. Again, iconic and imaginative is key!
Feel free to email me at email@example.com if you have any questions.

We use PrimaLoft® insulation inside insulated garments for its warmth, compressibility, and soft comfort. While the human body uses energy to stay warm, PrimaLoft® insulation uses a patented microfiber structure to help the body retain warmth and conserve energy. PrimaLoft® has a variety of products to meet specific needs.
The proprietary ultra-fine fibers of PrimaLoft® insulation form a tight collection of air pockets that trap heat from your body and keep the cold out, providing an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. When insulation gets wet, it loses these air pockets and consequently, its insulating properties. PrimaLoft® ultra-fine fibers were developed to be water resistant so your insulation stays drier and maintains its insulating properties. The fine fibers create a tight surface tension that won't allow water to pass through the insulation. Specifically-developed fiber finishes repel water and keep the insulation drier, even if water is forced into the insulation.
Fiber diameter directly influences softness. For example, if you compare canvas fabric to silk fabric you'll see that the finer silk fibers result in a softer material. So PrimaLoft® fibers have been engineered to be ultra-fine and mimic the softness of down. Finally, the ultra-fine fibers of PrimaLoft® insulation mimic the compressibility of goose down and are breathable, allowing moisture vapor to be transported through the fibers and away from the skin.
PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation is a premier microfiber insulation that mimics the softness and packability of down. It's compressible, breathable and offers superior water repellency so you remain dry, warm and comfortable even in extreme conditions.
PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Hi-Loft is built with two different sizes of fibers, for high thermal values and incredible loft. It's comfortable, durable and retains 85% of its insulation value even when it's wet.
PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Eco is made with 70% recycled polyester and provides superb thermal efficiency, water- and wind-resistance, compressibility and breathability. It uses post-consumer recycled material to create a high loft, thermally efficient, earth-friendly insulation. Approximately 28 recycled bottles are used in the making of each kilogram of PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Eco, which equates to approximately six bottles per garment.

Joe Wood necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 137 diseños de 36 diseñadores freelance.
We are a group of three businesses (a very large garden centre, pub restaurant and 4 star hotel) sharing the same site, trading direct with the public. We have been operating for over 15 years.
Visit our web site to see why we need a relaunch (http://www.moretonpark.com) – our current logos are pretty confused and have no real linkage in terms of design. A new web site, new menus and new collateral will all follow the conclusion of this first stage! As a company we are dedicated to maintaining high standards of quality and therefore would like our logo to reflect this. All three businesses need their own identities, but the big sign on the main road will be shared.
The Garden centre has thousands of visitors every week shopping for anything from plants to gifts or simply browsing and enjoying the coffee shop. Any homeowner is a key audience, as is mature couples aged 30+.
The Lord Moreton Country Pub & Dining has original features, log burning fires and exterior decked areas perfectly suited to alfresco dining. The food menu is designed by chefs who are passionate about food, utilising some of the best local ingredients, and perfect for all occasions whether a sociable meal with friends and colleagues, a special occasion evening dinner or a lazy Sunday afternoon lunch.
The Lord Moreton Hotel is easy and hassle-free. We believe in our people doing a good job for customers – feedback tells us they love the value we offer, our clean and comfortable rooms and the warm welcome they receive from our staff.
We think we want:
- The logos for all three businesses should be separate and distinct but noticeably linked by design cues.
- A common font is preferred
- The colour swatch should be driven by the garden centre and reflect 'natural' and 'nature' – greens and browns etc.
- Quality and timeless elegance as opposed to trendy and modern
- Would like to include some kind of symbol in the garden centre design such as an acorn leaf or daisy - however we are open to designs that do not include this aspect
- All files must be VECTOR (i.e. Illustrator) and 2 pantone colour logos max for each of the brands to help our print costs!

Cubs fall on walk-off HR in Renteria's debut
Skipper makes history by issuing first challenge; must wait on first win
PITTSBURGH -- New manager Rick Renteria's Cubs looked very much like the Cubs of last year.
As it often happened in 2013, a solid effort by a starting pitcher was wasted as the Cubs went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and lost, 1-0, to the Pirates on Opening Day in front of 39,833, the largest regular-season crowd in PNC Park history.
Neil Walker smacked a walk-off home run in the 10th inning off Carlos Villanueva for the win, spoiling Renteria's debut as a big league manager. It was the first Cubs extra-inning Opening Day game since March 31, 2008, against the Brewers.
"That's not the way you want to start your season," Villanueva said. "I made a couple good pitches ... then I hung a changeup. It was quick -- bad pitch and he took advantage of it, and that was the game."
Walker connected on a 3-2 pitch for his first career walk-off hit. Villanueva won the fifth spot in the rotation, and he will not start until Sunday. He was ready for duty.
"If I'm in the bullpen, I expect to pitch -- early, late, whenever," Villanueva said.
Renteria did make history, becoming the first manager to use Major League Baseball's expanded instant replay system. He challenged a call in the fifth when Jeff Samardzija was called out at first on a close play. After approximately 90 seconds, the call was confirmed. The Pirates had a call overturned in the 10th, when Emilio Bonifacio was initially called safe on a pick-off attempt.
This was Samardzija's second straight Opening Day start, and second in a row at PNC Park. One year ago, he gave up two hits over eight shutout innings in the Cubs' win. The right-hander was named the Opening Day starter after being a hot topic in trade rumors.
"When I think of Jeff Samardzija, I'm really happy he's our Opening Day starter and look forward to a performance like he did last year," Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said before the game.
Samardzija is the first Cubs pitcher to record consecutive scoreless Opening Day starts of at least seven innings since Lon Warneke did so in 1933-34. What also was impressive was Samardzija's pitch efficiency, which is a goal he set this season. He threw 89 pitches over seven innings; one year ago, he threw 110 over eight innings.
"That's what we're looking for," Samardzija said. "Obviously, we're going to take a hit on [the number of] strikeouts, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is keeping your pitch count down and getting your offense back in the dugout. That's what we're going to go for this year, is attacking the zone and making smart pitches and go for the strikeout when we need it, and ultimately just go out there and pitch so when you need the extra 20 pitches, we'll be able to reach down and go get those."
Both Samardzija and Pirates starter Francisco Liriano were sharp. Samardzija scattered five hits over seven innings, while the Pittsburgh lefty struck out 10 over six innings, giving up four hits.
"We've seen this before," Walker said of Samardzija. "When he's down in the zone, he's tough to hit, and that was the case today. Fortunately enough, our bullpen did what it always does, put up zeros, and we were able to squeak out one run and win the game."
The Cubs had chances, but they went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position. That was a recurring theme last season when the team batted a National League-low .218 with RISP. Anthony Rizzo was 0-for-4 Monday, stranding four.
"It's game one of 162," Rizzo said. "You learn from it and move on. Off-day [Tuesday], come back on Wednesday and get going."
What does Rizzo need to do with runners on base?
"You slow the game down in those situations," he said. "I know what he's going to attack me with, and it's about seeing it and putting the barrel on it. Today, I didn't come through, but that's the position I want to be in."
Renteria, 52, is exactly where he wants to be. He has come full circle from when he made his big league debut at Three Rivers Stadium with the Pirates on Sept. 14, 1986, against the Cubs. Now, he was making his managerial debut with the Cubs against the Pirates. He was all smiles before the game.
"Ricky is who he is," Epstein said. "He's very positive, very energetic. He believes in this team, believes in his players, and I think we'll see that translate onto the field."
The Cubs will have a tough time in the NL Central if they can't deliver in the clutch.
"We're a very confident group," Rizzo said. "It's a good thing. There's a lot of good energy in the dugout and the clubhouse before the game. It's a tough loss, obviously, but it's one game. No one's going home yet. It's nice to have the energy in here. Runs will be scored."

My new Middle Grade chapter book Ruby and the Ghost Dog is finally out and just 99 cents for two days (20 and 21 June) only. It is inspired by my rescue English Setter Gassi (that is his picture on the cover!) and my volunteer work for two years in an Italian dog shelter ("canile"). The book features reluctant 11-year-old psychic Ruby who has moved to Tuscany, Italy with her mother. She is soon targeted by a very special dog for a rather special mission and nothing in Ruby's life will ever be the same again.
The book has already been downloaded almost 1000 times in two days and is hovering just outside the amazon top 100 so please give it a boost and download it! Once it goes back to being a paid book and starts making money then I aim to donate 10 per cent of sales to animal rescue. I want the book to raise awareness about animal rescue in Italy, in particularly the plight of dogs stuck in kennels, often for years.
The link is to amazon in the USA, but the book can be downloaded HERE for UK, HERE for Italy, HERE for Australia and HERE for Spain. It is available worldwide on amazon if you search for it by title. Please tell your friends as it all helps spread the word.
Praise for Ruby and the Ghost Dog
'Fiona does a wonderful job helping children cope through any loss or isolation they may experience while growing up in a sometimes challenging and ever-changing world. Ruby and the Ghost Dog takes the reader on a fascinating journey which is filled with loss but that void is replaced with immense love supplied by the natural and supernatural in both human and canine form. This is a must read for any child who has experienced any loss and/or any child that loves dogs!' Prince Lorenzo Borghese, President www.animalaidusa.org and Ambassador to the American Humane Association
'An enchanting tale that will appeal to dog lovers like me everywhere.' Kay Burley, Sky TV presenter and Setter owner.
'In Ruby and the Ghost Dog we are reminded of the love between species, whether they are two legged or four pawed, and the beautiful connection which continues beyond death. Acknowledging grief for animals, as well as humans, this lovely story reveals the value of inter-species friendship. This book is a heartwarming 'tail' for all generations.' Pea Horsley, Animal Communicator, teacher and author of 'Heart to Heart: Incredible and Heartwarming Stories from the Woman Who Talks With Animals' and 'The Animal Communicator's Guide Through Life, Loss and Love'. www.animalthoughts.com.
'A mesmerising story that works on many levels. Ruby and Gassi's relationship teaches us about loss and grief but also hope and love. We learn that dogs need us and that we need them as much, if not more. Ruby and the Ghost Dog will encourage everyone to think about all the dogs out there in difficulty and to think of adopting rather than buying a new dog.' Pen Farthing, Founder and CEO of the Nowzad charity www.nowzad.com helping improve the welfare of animals in Afghanistan. Author of 'One Dog at a Time', 'No Place Like Home' and 'Wylie'.
