Best Bus Stop
Fourth Avenue & Eighth Street
Let's just admit it. Riding the bus can be downright humiliating--I don't care how environmentally conscientious it is. What could be worse than sitting on a little bench, baking in the sun, and inhaling the exhaust of every passing vehicle awhile motorists gawk at you from behind their tinted windows, their hair gently blowing from the powerful surge of ice-cold A/C on their faces? Happily, you can have your revenge, perched upon a throne, fully sheltered from the elements, as you benevolently smile down on the colorful characters stumbling toward or from The Shanty. This bus stop is so great, we recommend having your lunch on the largest throne, even if you have no

Worry about your own minorities, India tells Pak
Both Tewari and RK Singh spoke in near identical terms to decry Pakistani interior minister's statement in Islamabad on the Bollywood star, who found himself in the thick of another controversy after his comments on being a Muslim led to Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed saying he could move to Pakistan.
New Delhi: Pakistan should worry about minorities in its own country, India's Information Minister Manish Tewari and Home Secretary RK Singh said on Monday in response to Pakistan minister Rehman Malik's statement that New Delhi should provide security to actor Shah Rukh Khan.
Both Tewari and RK Singh spoke in near identical terms to decry Pakistani interior minister's statement in Islamabad on the Bollywood star, who found himself in the thick of another controversy after his comments on being a Muslim led to Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed saying he could move to Pakistan.
"Instead of introspection of how minorities in India are being treated, he (Malik) should contemplate how he can improve condition of minority in his country," Tewari told reporters here.
He said it would be better for Pakistan if Malik paid attention to domestic matters of his own country rather than worry about such things.
"Test of democracy is the way you treat your minority rather than majority. The UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government has strived to see every citizen in the same light and given equal right under the constitution," he said.
The home secretary spoke out too. "We are quite capable of looking after security of our own citizens... let him (Malik) worry about security of his own," he said.
The 47-year-old actor had written in Outlook Turning Points magazine, published in association with The New York Times: "I sometimes become the inadvertent object of political leaders who choose to make me a symbol of all that they think is wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India."
"There have been occasions when I have been accused of bearing allegiance to our neighbouring nation rather than my own country - this even though I am an Indian, whose father fought for the freedom of India. Rallies have been held where leaders have exhorted me to leave and return what they refer to my original homeland," added the superstar of Hindi cinema.
He went on say that he became so sick of being mistaken for some crazed terrorist, "who co-incidentally carries the same name as mine that I made a film subtly titled 'My Name Is Khan' (and I am not a terrorist) to prove a point".
"Ironically, I was interrogated at the airport for hours about my last name when I was going to promote the film in America for the first time," said the filmstar.

Philadelphia Criminal Court Records Sampling Project
Philadelphia Department of Records
The Philadelphia Criminal Court Records Sampling Project is an ongoing cooperative effort between the Philadelphia Department of Records, the Clerk of Quarter Sessions, and the first Judicial District of Pennsylvania to sample and re-house criminal court records of Philadelphia County, currently stored in the Philadelphia City Records Center. The proliferation of court records since the mid-twentieth century has made such an effort imperative to reduce bulk and provide access to materials which will be permanently retained, indexed, and made available to researchers at the City Archives. The sampling project focused on the years since 1940; Court of Quarter Sessions files dated prior to 1940 in custody of the Department of Records will not be sampled. Under a series of grants from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission from 1997-1999, the project staff with the guidance of an advisory board of records managers from the court offices, state records officers, a statistician, and scholars developed and implemented a sampling methodology which resulted in an approximately 65 percent reduction in bulk of records of the Court of Quarter Sessions for the years 1940-52. The files selected for permanent retention have been transferred to the City Archives and are being prepared for processing.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund on Monday approved a further 1.7 billion euros ($2.3 billion) in funds for Greece's bailout program after completing the fourth review of the cash-strapped euro zone state.
Greece last week adopted the last piece of legislation its international lenders required to release the next batch of rescue loans, after two months of wrangling over unpopular measures to overhaul the economy. The total funds from the IMF, the European Commission and the European Central Bank comprise 5.8 billion euros.
The IMF also confirmed lenders would modify Greece's September target for how much money it needs to get from privatizing state firms, after Athens struggled to sell natural gas distributor DEPA in June.
The European Union announced the move earlier on Monday, saying Greece would now need to make only 1.6 billion euros from privatizations, down from 2.6 billion euros. But Athens will now have to recoup that money in 2014 to ensure it stays on course to lower its debt.
"Urgent steps need to be taken to address concerns about the structure and governance of the privatization program and to improve its effectiveness," IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in an updated statement on Monday.
Greece's reform record has been patchy ever since its EU/IMF bailout started in mid-2010, leading to frequent delays in the disbursement of rescue funds.
Opposition to the bailout has also intensified as Greece goes through its sixth year of recession and unemployment hovers at a record rate of 27 percent.
The IMF's board waived several requirements Greece had to meet by the end of June, since data was not yet available. This includes targets for overall government debt, government domestic arrears and the general government balance.
Lagarde commended Greece for cutting budgets and external imbalances, but said Athens has not done enough on broader reforms to its tax collection and public sector, which are necessary to ensure its economy returns to growth.
"Given the slow progress in public administration reforms, efforts should focus on ensuring exit of unqualified personnel to create room to hire new staff with the relevant skills," Lagarde said.
Subject to implementation of further reforms, Athens stands to receive another 1 billion euros from international lenders in October. Greece's rescue, approved in March 2012, will total 173 billion euros over four years, the IMF said. It is meant to help Athens recover from a sovereign debt crisis and return to markets, and protect the country from a possible exit from the euro zone.

Is Your Name Feng Chen Yu or Chen Chen Yu?
When Feng Chen Yu arrived, she had heard about the situation from granny Zhao. Although she did her best to slow down her pace, to buy herself some time to think, she still did not know what to do when she arrived at Shu Ya courtyard.
She did not know why the matriarch had called for her? Could it be she wanted her to move out of Jin Yu courtyard and give it to Feng Yu Heng? This was the worst possible outcome Feng Chen Yu had considered.
"Greetings to the eldest young miss." When Chen Yu entered, An shi and Han shi took the initiative and stood up. Han shi did not even dare look at Feng Chen Yu. At times like this, she felt it best to distance herself from Chen Yu. Regardless of how this eldest young miss developed, she first had to survive the present.
"The two concubine mothers need not stand on ceremony." Chen Yu maintained her kind character, superficially greeting An shi and Han shi. Seeing both of them rise, she faced the matriarch and bowed, "Chen Yu greets grandmother."
"Quickly get up." The matriarch had granny Zhao help Chen Yu get up, "Sit before speaking." Regardless of how much she disliked Chen shi, this granddaughter, in the matriarch's eyes, was slipping behind Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng was currently very impressive, but she could not offend Feng Chen Yu, as she would be the hope of the Feng family's future. Whether the Feng clan could make a full rise depended entirely on Feng Chen Yu.
"For what reason did grandmother call Chen Yu here, did something happen?" Chen Yu sat beside Feng Yu Heng and asked the matriarch, "I heard about some details from granny Zhao, but Chen Yu does not understand. Mother is currently at Pu Du Nunnery praying for the fortune of the Feng family. Grandmother calling Chen Yu here is for what reason?"
Her meaning was very clear. You have already thrown my mother out, so you won't be asking me to return the money, right? I am a girl who has not married out of the family yet, so where would I get money?
The matriarch obviously did not think of it this way. She could treat Chen Yu well, but she definitely could not tolerate Chen shi, let alone forgive the Chen family. On the ride back from Pu Du Temple, Feng Jin Yuan told her many things about the Chen family. Only then did she find out what had truly happened that night, but it had already been taken care of by one of Feng Yu Heng's experts; however, the Chen family, which had hired assassins, became absolutely detested by the matriarch.
"Since Chen Yu already knows of this matter, grandmother will be direct. That money was not put in to the manor's funds by your mother. I have checked the accounts for the manor's funds, and they are very clear. Since she is at the nunnery and can not return, Chen Yu, you will contact the Chen family. The money that Chen shi embezzled will be returned by the Chen family. The total comes to two hundred thousand taels, which must be delivered to the Feng manor within three days. Not a cent should be missing."
"What?" Feng Chen Yu never thought that the matriarch would have the Chen family repay the money. For a while, she stood in surprise, "Grandmother's words sincere?"
The matriarch also became a little unhappy. She merely wanted for the Chen family to repay the money Chen shi had embezzled, so why did this granddaughter react in this way?
"Indeed, they are sincere." The matriarch calmed her expression, "Chen Yu, you are still young and have no married out. You have never worried about a housewife's duties, so you naturally do not know the rules of this area. Who did Chen shi give the embezzled money to, the Chen family should understand. Now they should return that money to the Feng family. That's right, you have some uncles that have not said anything."
"But mother is one of Feng family's people! She married in to the Feng family, so she is one of Feng family's people. Even if she did something wrong and wasted money, it should not fall on the Chen family to repay it."
"Do you not understand the words I am saying?" The matriarch finally became truly angry and slammed the table, "Chen Yu, if you do not understand, then I will say it directly. All of the money that your mother embezzled was sent to the Chen family! The Chen family used this money to expand their businesses. Currying favor with influential officials, and they still…" She wanted to say they still hire assassins to kill the Feng family's daughter. Now I want the money to be repaid, so what? So what!
But the matriarch did not say it. This did not mean that Feng Yu Heng would not say it. She simply turned her head towards Feng Chen Yu and faintly said: "They actually associate with people of Jiang Hu to cause trouble at the Feng manor. Eldest sister, do not protest on behalf of the Chen family. Just repeat what has been said to them. I think the Chen family will understand the reasoning."
With the words that came from Feng Yu Heng and the matriarch, the intelligent An shi naturally understood the reasoning. So the happenings of that night were orchestrated by the Chen family! Truly evil and ambitious.
"Mother-in-law." An shi spoke, "I think the Chen family also has clear reasoning. Speaking of, look at how they have worked in the capital and done business with the royal family. If they did not have the help of our Feng family, I'm afraid it would have been impossible. With the head madam now in Pu Du Nunnery…" She turned her words towards Feng Chen Yu, "Eldest young miss must find someone who can speak on behalf of the Chen family."
These words were clearly meant to remind Feng Chen Yu, think of your mother and think of the Chen family's wealth.
Feng Chen Yu was stifled and became speechless.
All along, the wealthy Chen family had been the support of the mother and children. With the Chen family's money heading to the manor of the Feng family, only then did they have a proper standing. Two hundred thousand? Not to speak of two hundred thousand, but the Chen family had put over two million taels in to the Feng family. Yet why did she never see the Feng family speak of repaying it? Chen shi embezzled a mere two hundred thousand taels. This was simply the Feng family's nature!
Feng Chen Yu fiercely looked at Feng Yu Heng. She knew that this entire incident was caused by this younger sister.
"Eldest sister, what are you looking at me like this for?" Feng Yu Heng smiled, "It isn't that you will not listen to the words grandmother said, right? That is the worst possible offense. Da Shun places a heavy emphasis on filial duty. If eldest sister's actions were to become known, I fear that it would affect eldest sister's future negatively. Eldest sister should think of herself a bit more."
These words once again reminded Feng Chen Yu.
That's right. She had to think of herself. Mother could not be relied upon. Brother could not be relied upon. She could only rely upon her father, and her father's mother was the matriarch. Only by winning over the most important person, could she preserve her own peaceful future.
Forget it, she would just bear with it. After she has a meteoric rise, she would clearly sort these debts one by one.
Chen Yu fiercely glared at Feng Yu Heng then softly replied to the matriarch: "Granddaughter understands. Grandmother, please do not worry. Granddaughter will send a letter to my uncles and have them send the money to the manor as soon as possible."
"Un." The matriarch nodded with satisfaction, "That you can think of it that way, then the Feng family's adoration was not in vain." The matriarch's temper finally calmed. She truly worried that Chen Yu would resolutely refuse. It had to be known that this two hundred thousand did not need to be added in to the manor's funds. Feng Yu Heng had said that it would be split between them.
The matriarch did some calculating. She had a share, Feng Jin Yuan had a share, Xiang Rong and Fen Dai each had a share. That was to say, if this two hundred thousand were split equally, then each share would be fifty thousand. She naturally would be too embarrassed to ask for some of Xiang Rong and Fen Dai's share, but Feng Jin Yuan was her son. Based on Feng Jin Yuan's personality, even if she did not say anything, his share would definitely be given to her. With these calculations, she could receive one hundred thousand taels. One hundred thousand taels!
The more the matriarch thought about it, the happier she was, but at this moment, Feng Yu Heng said: "The matter of the money has been settled. Let us now calculate the products that have been taken from Wonderful Treasure House."
Feng Chen Yu gritted her teeth so hard they almost shattered "Second sister, the Chen family is not an inexhaustible treasure shed."
"Hm?" Feng Yu Heng was curious, "Eldest sister, is your name Feng Chen Yu or Chen Chen Yu? Why is it that when we are trying to get things back for the Feng family, every word of yours has been in favor of the Chen family? The Chen family stole things belonging to the Feng family. As a member of the Feng family, even if you do not hold a grudge like us, that's fine. Why do you still come and berate us?"
Han shi also followed up: "That's right, eldest young miss. You are, after all, a member of the Feng family."
Feng Yu Heng continued: "Just after we returned to the manor, father told me that I am a daughter of the Feng manor. Only when the Feng family prospers will I have face when I marry out of the family. Could it be that eldest sister does not believe this to be so?"
The two sang the same tune, stifling Feng Chen Yu and rendering her unable to speak.
"Then second sister, what exactly are you thinking?" Chen Yu was so angry that her liver started to hurt.
"I have not thought of anything." Feng Yu Heng fiddled with her fingernails and faintly said: "I was just thinking that when I met with his Highness Prince Yu next, I would need to tell him that some wealthy family in the capital is deeply associated with Jiang Hu. Furthermore, there are clues that they have hired assassins to kill an official of the court. I hope his Highness will help investigate."
"Feng Yu Heng!" Chen Yu was no longer able to continue pretending. Pointing directly at Feng Yu Heng, she cursed: "Slut! Empty words with no evidence. Based on what are you saying that the Chen family hired people to murder you? What value do you have?"
"Oh!" Feng Yu Heng laughed, "When did I say the Chen family hired assassin? When did I say the assassins came to kill me? Eldest sister, you confessed without being asked. Also, I am a daughter of the Feng family, so you tell me what value do I have?"
The two sisters went tit-for-tat, angering the matriarch to the point where she almost found it hard to breathe. She readily picked up a tea cup and smashed it on the ground. The sound of a tea cup being smashed caused the arguing to end.
"Chen Yu!" The matriarch was disappointed by Feng Chen Yu to the limit. In her eyes and in her mind, this eldest granddaughter had always been a kind person. She was like a Bodhisattva with her compassionate heart. How was it, that for an instant, that she saw Chen shi's shadow on Chen Yu? Could it be that it really was like mother like daughter? "You truly make me disappointed."
The matriarch shook her head, not wanting to look at Feng Chen Yu.
Feng Chen Yu felt extremely wronged. Pointing at Feng Yu Heng, she said: "Grandmother, why do you not say that second sister is wrong?"
The matriarch saw that she still did not know to repent, instead she pointed at someone else and said they were wrong. She could not help but become a little more angry. "Everything your second said was the truth! Chen Yu, have you been blinded by the Chen family? A-Heng said nothing wrong. They are simply using money to act rampantly. I will say just this much today. Chen Yu, inform the people of Chen family that they should not assume the Feng family does not know. What they do outside, I do not care, but if they point a sword at Feng manor, do not blame us for becoming ruthless!"
With these words from the matriarch, Feng Chen Yu truly felt the jitters.
So the matriarch knew about it. That would mean her father also knew about it. How much did they actually know? Did they know that she was the Chen family's inside man?
Chen Yu's heart sank more and more. The earlier excitement gradually began to fade.
An shi spoke up in a timely manner: "Eldest young miss, are you one of Feng family's people."
That's right! She was one of Feng family's people! In the future, no matter what her future held, the Chen family would not be able to provide her with any help. She had to rely on the Feng family for support.
Chen Yu's arrogance faded and the fierce expression slowly receded from her face.
Finally, took large strides forward and knelt before the matriarch: "Granddaughter knows she was wrong. It was as grandmother said. Granddaughter was blinded by the Chen family. Grandmother, please do not worry. It will not happen again."
The matriarch nodded, "If you can think this way, then that is good."
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "Since eldest sister has thought it through, then quickly get in touch with the Chen family." As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper from inside her sleeve, "This is a list of the items missing from Wonderful Treasure House. If the Chen Family can not return them all, I will report it to the court as lost goods. At that time, if any of the items are found in the Chen family or in Jin Yu courtyard, it will be treated as stolen items."

Residents warned of fundraising scam
By ACL
A London Britain resident says this man, identified as Bo Pickard, confronted several residents while he was soliciting funds on July 24.
By John Chambless
Staff Writer
Several residents of London Britain Township tangled with a man who said he was soliciting funds to benefit U.S. troops on July 24, leading to a confrontation and complaints filed with state police.
Several residents came to the township's July 29 Board of Supervisors meeting to voice their concerns about the incident, and to warn other area residents about Coastal Concept Sales. The for-profit company has a website that says they solicit funds to send care packages to overseas troops, but the only contact information is an e-mail address. An internet search for the company turns up a physical address in Portland, Ore., that looks like an office park with several businesses inside.
Rick Zeisloft, a township resident, circulated an e-mail to his neighbors in late July, summarizing his confrontation with a representative from Coastal Concept Sales:
"On July 24, a young man was soliciting in Chambers Rock Farm, asking for $40 for a 'care' package to be sent to our troops overseas. Being suspicious, I contacted several neighbors who expressed the same feelings. I took several pictures of the solicitor as he was leaving our community. At that point he became confrontational, obscene in his language and gestures, and threatened to 'beat you up, old man,' all in front of several neighbors who had gathered. At that point we called the state police who responded and took a report."
The group apparently operates by dropping off a representative in a community, then returning to collect him or her later. The representatives are not well dressed. They operate throughout the country, and they have left a long trail of controversy in their wake. In a June 2013 posting on Yelp.com, a commenter writes: "It appears they were formerly known as 'Freedom United Sales LLC' and 'Smartraiser LLC.' Attorney Generals from several states have issued warnings about their scams as have local law enforcement. … The person who shows up at your door soliciting a 'donation' refers you to their website for proof of their legitimacy and also provides a phone number for customer service. The phone number provided is the same one used by 'Freedom United States LLC' and 'Smartraiser LLC.'"
A page on the Coastal Concept website shows several of their employees, with identifation numbers. One of them, identified as Bo Pickard, was the man who confronted residents in London Britain.
After hearing about the confrontation, John Auerbach, the chairman of the Franklin Township Board of Supervisors, attended the township meeting on July 29 and later issued a warning that was posted on the Franklin Township website.
During the July 24 incident, Auerbach wrote, "The resident determined that the solicitor had taken a check from an elderly resident and requested that the check be returned. The solicitor did give the check back. There were further exchanges with other Coastal Concept Sales representatives that came to collect the solicitor. Foul language and unpleasant gestures were directed at a group of neighbors that had gathered outside."
The solicitors, Auerbach wrote, "carry a large stack of cash with a $50 bill on the outside, a handful of checks, and other papers. The solicitors are not well dressed for business - T-shirt and jeans."
Auerbach asked Franklin Township residents to be alert for the group, but said on Aug. 14 that the Coastal Concept representatives had not been reported in Franklin Township. He suggested that if the team does show up, residents should contact state police.
A note on the London Britain Township website states that, "Currently there is an organization that is trying to solicit funds for 'the troops.' They are not permitted in the township. Please contact the police ASAP if such an organization solicits at your property."

You realize almost suddenly even though it was always there, that you haven't been walking the walk…the mantra you preach of "keep movin' forward" is partially a front.
And that my friends, hurts…
I realized in the last few weeks that I really
hated didn't like the person I used to be. I've mentioned it in recent posts, you can read about it here, that I truly work hard at NOT being the girl I once was…I want to be the woman I have worked so hard to be…
Yet the past sometimes creeps in, and in recently I have visited the "On this day" app on Facebook and was blown away by what I read. Posts from 5-6 years ago haunted me, and I couldn't believe what I was reading. No wonder I drove so many people away…I was down right DEPRESSING. Yuck. Delete…delete…and delete some more!
So this past week I've dug deep to redefine my goals of the future, who I want to be, and what I need to do to get there successfully.
First up…quit looking back. I am SURELY not headed in that direction.
Secondly, one of my yearly goals was to be more present. That being said, my husband travels and works A LOT with his job and the military, so my kids need me to step up for them, and away from time wasters. I need to be present for THEM, because I am essentially a single parent from here on out and I need to embrace that vs. hold anger and resentment.
So today, I started fresh by celebrating National Running Day by running just over a mile with my youngest, and making me and my daughters a yummy salad since my husband is going working late.
Lastly, I need to quit doubting myself, and beating myself up over things I can't control.
It's time to move forward, y'all!!! I'm back in the saddle!!
How do you battle past demons? Did you run today? What are your favorite salad toppings?

Labs were lucky enough to be invited back to Power to the Pixel's Pixel Lab held at Schwielowsee this week. The attendees – writers, filmmakers and producers among them – spent most of the week intensively workshopping their cross-media projects, punctuated by tutorials and talks from external experts.
Raising money in a still nascent format is always going to be challenging, so Pixel Lab participants were keen to know how brands and advertisers viewed transmedia storytelling as a platform and what approaches were likely to lead to successful fundraising.
Using the smart thinking from Metafilter forum user blue_beetle as the starting point I suggested that rather than try and sell a story to a brand, selling the audience might be a more productive approach. This is partly because it's so noisy out there that a brand needs to work exceptionally hard to cut through with a story and also because increasingly brands see participation (through a variety of mechanics) as a good route to engaging an audience and building brand loyalty.
It wouldn't be a Labs talk if we didn't reference Kevin Kelly, and his 'Six words for the modern internet' made for a useful primer on participation and behaviours. Taking each of the behaviours and looking at campaigns that had shone them through a branded lens I asked whether it was possible to extend the idea of audience as product and ask what they paid with for each form of participation.
With each of these costs of participating the audience clearly need to be rewarded and this reward will vary with the depth and type of participation. The reward might be a story or another form of transmedia experience but there are other rewards for participation and access and engagement might sometimes be reward enough.
The full presentation is below – let us know what you think in the comments.

FAA is providing $1.3 million in grants for Chicago O'Hare, Denver and San Francisco International Airports for vehicle surveillance equipment to reduce the risk of "conflicts" between airport safety vehicles and aircraft.
Each airport will receive $421,875 to purchase up to 75 Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) units to allow air traffic controllers to locate vehicles on the airfield during low visibility conditions.
FAA said the ADS-B units will be installed on airport operations vehicles such as fire trucks and snow plows.
The grants are being provided through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program.
"This grant allows ground equipment operators to have a better situational awareness of where they are on the airfield, which increases airport safety," said FAA Acting Administrator Michael Huerta.

Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life
Grove Press, 1997 - 814 pages
"Superb ... Mr. Anderson does a masterly job in evoking Che's complex character, in separating the man from the myth and in describing the critical role Che played in one of the darkest periods of the cold war". -- The New York Times Book Review
The Philadelphia Inquirer called Che Guevara "the best treatment of its subject to date", and the Denver Post wrote, "It is Anderson's careful research that will define Guevara for the future". Acclaimed around the world and a national best-seller, this is the definitive work on Che Guevara, the dashing rebel whose epic dream was to end poverty and injustice in Latin America and the developing world through armed revolution.
Jon Lee Anderson's biography traces Che's extraordinary life, from his comfortable Argentine upbringing to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution, from the halls of power in Castro's government to his failed campaign in the Congo and his assassination in the Bolivian jungle. Combining unprecedented access to the personal archives maintained by Guevara's widow, carefully guarded Cuban government documents, and extensive interviews with both Che's comrades and the CIA men and Bolivian officers who hunted him down, Che Guevara illuminates as never before this mythic figure who embodied the greatest moment of revolutionary communism as a force in history.
"Excellent ... admirably honest and staggeringly researched ... it is unlikely that after Anderson's exhaustive contribution, much more will be learned about Guevara". -- Los Angeles Times
"An enduring achievement. Other biographies are in the works, but it is hard to imagine that any will match the volume and detail of the research here.... Guevara's victories andfailures, equally spectacular, are part of our common history.... Che lives, not only in this book but in the world". -- The Boston Globe

On the Beer Trail: Dry Dock Double IPA in Colorado
Exploring the country, beer by beer.
Editor's Note: Ethan Fixell tours the country as a comedian—and as a beer drinker. Can he sip a local beer in every state? Watch him try.
Fortunately, I did a much better job of planning my return trip to Colorado than I did my first visit to the state. But I couldn't resist over-booking, aiming to travel through Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Aurora for stops at six different breweries in a mere 48 hours. Allowing time for sleeping, eating, and a whole lotta peeing, I was left with a total of twelve business hours to cover some serious drinking ground.
My first goal was to tend to some unfinished business from my last expedition at a particular mountain ranch. From a distance, Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids and Solids looks like Pee-Wee's Farmhouse. But the food at this country-themed BBQ taphouse is nothing to joke about—I can now say that some of the best shrimp and grits I've ever tasted were sampled not in South Carolina, but in Colorado.
Liquids and Solids serves all the ol' Oskar standbys: Mama's Little Yella, Old Chub, and of course, Dale's Pale Ale. I found the earthy hops in their Gubna Imperial IPA overwhelming, but the balance is perfect in the G'Knight IPA, with its addition of spicy rye. Ten FIDY—a rich, dark, imperial stout—is also not to be missed. Taking its name from its alcohol content (10.5%) the FIDY is a heavy hitter—after downing two, you might as well throw your car keys in the toilet.
The best part of my second Colorado tour, however, was a stop en route to the airport. Upon rolling up to Dry Dock Brewing Company, I initially thought I had accidentally navigated to a nautically themed Blockbuster Video. At 12:05 p.m., we were the second and third customers of the day, arriving only after one half-drunk local who was already making his way through generous tasters of every single beer on tap. The taproom's rustic wooden framing sets the perfect tone for drinking like a sea dog, and soon the bar was rocking like a rowdy pirate ship, packed with thirsty, jolly patrons.
We tried a dozen beers that afternoon, with some of the highlights including the U.S.S. Enterprise IPA (smooth and balanced with a touch of fruit in the finish), the Urca Vanilla Porter (rich vanilla from front to back, with a nice helping of malt and hops in between), and the Wee Heavy (sweetly malted to prepare for a boozy punch). Despite their intriguing names, don't bother with the watery Paragon Apricot Blonde or the unpleasantly spicy Black Seas Spiced Stout—their gimmicky flavorings aren't enough to keep them afloat.
The true winner turned out to be one of Dry Dock's most popular beers. Following a delicious burst of citrus up front, the Double IPA reveals its powerful hop profile, which is deftly balanced by a slightly fruity sweetness. The finish is rounded out by the return of more pleasantly dry hops. At 9% ABV, this one is surprisingly smooth, and now one of my favorite IPAs from the western US.

A rather unusual museum, approached by way of a footbridge across the intervening water, lies 50 yards offshore near the former Royal Dockyard at Pembroke Dock. Although not strictly a castle, it resembles the type of fortified tower one might expect to see in a castle grounds.
This is the Gun Tower Museum, set up a few years ago by an enterprising group of local historians and enthusiasts, who formed a charitable organisation called The Pembroke Dock Museums Trust, which manages the Museum with a loyal band of volunteers.
Known as a Cambridge Gun Tower, and for years misnamed The Martello Tower, this stout oval fortification was built in 1851 to protect the Royal Dockyard. It is one of a chain of forts known as 'Palmerston's Follies' built to encircle Milford Haven Waterway at a time when Louis Napoleon's acquisitive ambitions were seen as a real threat to the country's security.
The town of Pembroke Dock did not exist before 1814 when the Royal Dockyard was built to replace the one at Milford Haven, and houses began to spring up to house the hundreds of skilled workers. The Gun Tower Museum reflects not only this important period in the new town's maritime history but also its strong associations with the Army and the RAF. Like the other 'new town' of Milford Haven, built just over a decade before, Pembroke Dock was built on the American grid-iron pattern, with parallel streets and back lane service access.
Before the Dockyard came it was a little waterside hamlet called Paterchurch, surrounded by farmland, the residents mainly engaged in fishing and ferrying folk across the Haven. The first historical mention of Paterchurch was made in 1289 when a tower was built there as a lookout, and the ruins are still visible within the walls of the Dockyard. The Dockyard provided highly skilled jobs for thousands of local men during its century of operation. Some of the Navy's finest battleships and a few Royal Yachts were built there, until the slump of the 1920s saw its rapid decline and closure, many of its workers 'migrating' to other dockyards and ship-buiding centres throughout the country. The Museum reflects not only this important period in the town's history, but also the Army's long-standing presence in Defensible Barracks and Llanion Barracks, and the RAF's tenure of the Dockyard as an importat flying-boat base. It was a vital Coastal Command station during the Battle of the Atlantic, when Sunderlands patrolled the Western Approaches, attacking the German U-boats which were decimating the merchant convoys bringing vital supplies to this country. The Sunderland Trust, founded and run by the same group of enthusiasts, has its own Museum in the Dockyard nearby, with a growing display of fascinating exhibits. Pembroke Dock became a target for enemy bombers during the war and suffered more casualties per head of population than any other town in the UK, including Coventry and Swansea. Thirty-two people were killed in the worst blitz in 1941 and in 1940, five Cardiff firemen had died fighting a disastrous oil tank blaze at Llanreath.

Talk about tricks or treats... I had a scare with a computer virus attacking me last night and I was feeling completely tricked... yikes! Luckily with a lot of help from my sisters (or the nerd herd as I like to call them, most affectionately of course) everything seems to be running ok now... knock on wood!
Still, I wanted to wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN with one last spooky card before I jump head first into Christmas. I've got big plans that include pumpkin carving and frightening small children when they come knocking on the door for candy, LOL! Good times... ;)
Oh and there is still time to get in on the Darby and Penelope candy before I announce the winners tomorrow morning... check it out here!

Seniors citizens may not be the first demographic that Pilates programming directors target, but many Pilates studio owners have found this market to be a valuable part of their programming. Older members tend to be loyal, have a higher disposable income and have more time to devote to exercise.
Maria Forrest, owner of Forrest Pilates in Miami, says that about 30 percent to 40 percent of her clientele are senior citizens. They often see results more quickly than younger clients, even if they have physical limitations. By the end of the first or second session, they already are starting to feel more flexible, she says.
For many seniors, increased flexibility is the core reason for sticking with Pilates, says Risa Sheppard, the owner and Pilates master at Sheppard Method Pilates in Los Angeles.
"My older clients aren't trying to get into a bikini or on the cover of Cosmo," Sheppard says. "What seniors really want is to have flexibility. Because they haven't used certain muscles, they feel stiff, and they want to be able to keep moving."
Sheppard, who has owned her studio for 35 years, estimates that about half of her clientele is over the age of 65. Many of her clients are now in their late 80s and early 90s and still visit her 700-square-foot studio twice per week.
"These clients have stayed with me all this time because I respect their experience, get them results and treat them like a human being rather than an elderly person," says Sheppard, who just released a workout DVD titled "Pilates! A Gentle Formula for a Strong Body."
To put her older clientele at ease, Sheppard is offering a specialized mat class for seniors this fall.
Laureen DuBeau says this is a beneficial approach. DuBeau is the communications director, education, for Stott Pilates, Toronto, and is a Stott Pilates master instructor trainer.
"Having specialized classes may take away some of the intimidation or self-confidence issues that may go along with a senior attending classes at a club or fitness facility," DuBeau says. "If individuals know that the class is going to be geared toward them, they may be more inclined to sign up, which is good for everyone concerned."
Not all Pilates studio owners, however, believe in segregating members by age. Mary Gardner Stewart, owner of PilatesWV in Charleston, WV, tried to offer a mat class for seniors, but she discontinued it because the participants had such diverse needs. Like Forrest of Forrest Pilates, Stewart now mixes ages within her mat classes, but she tries to keep her class sizes small to ensure individualized attention.
Even with limiting her class sizes, Stewart has found that private and group apparatus classes are much more effective than mat training for older clientele. For the last two years, she has been helping seniors improve their flexibility, strength and coordination using her studio's full range of Pilates equipment. When working out on the machines, the seniors do not have to worry about getting up and down off the floor.
This is especially beneficial for clients who have had joint replacements, surgery or osteoporosis. Traditional mat classes often are not suited for clients with osteoporosis due to the flexion, says Nora St. John, education/program director for Balanced Body, Sacramento, CA. Specific Pilates programs, such as TheraPilates, Pilates for Buff Bones and OsteoPilates, specialize in training clients with osteoporosis, and they often educate other Pilates studio owners and instructors nationwide through workshops.
By becoming educated about how to work with specialized populations, owners of Pilates studios can open their doors to higher revenue and retention. Mercury Fitness in San Francisco offers a robust class schedule appealing to a younger demographic, but owner Lara Hale says she has seen the benefits of Pilates for seniors first-hand.
"Seniors really benefit from Pilates, as the exercise form is highly adaptable to people of varied ages and strength levels," says Hale, who adds that about 30 percent of her clientele over age 55 work privately with her studio's instructors.
Through Pilates, seniors can achieve better strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, Hale says. For these reasons, St. John has found that seniors who try a Pilates class often turn into longtime members. She estimates that the majority of Pilates clients are already 45 and older, but by going after an even more mature clientele, studio owners can build a loyal membership base.
"Seniors are often settled in the community, they're focused on wellness, their kids are gone and they want to take care of themselves," St. John says. "They are solid clients who will come twice a week for years."

When Rhona Mitra signed on to star in the new season of "Strike Back," she wanted to achieve one goal among all others.
"The key thing of this show is that they're praised for the legitimacy and authenticity of both Phil and Sully's approach to their characters, so the pressure that I felt that I wasn't dropping the ball or lowering the bar was considerable," she told me during a conversation at San Diego Comic Con in July. "I wanted to make sure that I was keeping a certain standard in the credibility that was already set. I couldn't mess up on that."
Mitra plays Major Rachel Dalton, an MI-6 spy who at the beginning of the season boldly pushed her way into the special ops division Section 20 not as a new agent, but the boss who oversees, among others, the main operatives Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) and Scott (Sullivan Stapleton). Mitra, who has starred as butt-kicking women in such films as "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" and "Doomsday," as well as stints on TV's "SGU" and "The Gates," easily handles the role of a tough taskmaster and expert covert agent. (Just check out her interrogation of the man in the clip above from Ep. 15, debuting at 9 p.m. CT Sept. 7 on Cinemax.)
Mitra's desire to look like the real deal while in battle mode was a taller order, considering the whirlwind filming schedule in South Africa and other African locations.
"We had an incredibly brief amount of time to get everything together as far as training was concerned," she said. "It was a baptism by fire, for sure."
Mitra watched some of the first Cinemax season episodes and studied how the characters worked with their weapons. She paid close attention to Stonebridge because Dalton, like Stonebridge, would have been trained in British military practices--an important detail in maintaining the authenticity of the series.
"What you understand is there's a language in your usage of weapons, which is much liking learning Chinese or French or whatever it is," Mitra explained. "With the British military training you are all given a foundation, so there has to be a way in which you carry your gun that is authentic and legitimate [to that training]."
The show's military advisers--some are British, some American and some South African--worked with Mitra on the various techniques used for different weapons. Dalton would have learned how to use the AK-47 she brandished in the season premiere while undercover in Africa, Mitra said, because it's not used by the British military. Later she used an MP-5, which is a British military issue weapon and which required a different style and stance for shooting.
Mitra praised Winchester for his help on set. "He was brilliant with me in helping me along the way, just making sure I was doing the little things right," she said.
During the "Strike Back" panel at Comic Con, Mitra said she was "a pacifist by nature." Playing a character that sometimes kills for a living meant she had to find mental tricks "so my karma wasn't altered too hugely," she told me during our interview. When she had to discharge a bazooka as Dalton, she imagined the weapon fired something other than explosive shells.
"If I was really doing the damage [the character] was doing I wouldn't be a happy camper," she said, then chuckled. So I imagined there were giant cupcakes coming out of it."
Despite her pacifist leanings, the physicality of the role was "the No. 1 magnetic pull" for the British actress.
"I just love that stuff. I love anything that involves that much physical activity," she said, adding that the mind plays into the physicality as well. "There's also a lot of mental and strategic sort of chess involved where your body and mind are working together. It's a dance. You're always on your game. You're always on fire. You're always awake and alert. I think it's one of the best parts of what I get to do in my job."
Mitra also enjoyed getting into the psyche of her character and how she would work within a new military unit, another task that the show's military advisers and the regular cast members helped her undertake. She said that in a way, her coming onto the series in its second season echoed how her character jumps into the workings of Section 20 as their new commander.
"The beauty of what these people do is that they all have the common denominator to see through [to completion] their mission. And whatever that cause is eclipses their own egos, their own needs, their own agendas. And when working together on one cause and one mission they have to create a symbiosis. And if it means that's done through deceit, through sex, whatever the means are, that's what you use," she said. "That's what they're taught, and it's a beautiful synchronicity when it comes together.
"In a way that's sort of what we had to do as actors. They [the cast and crew] had created this family, this unit, and life was imitating art. I had to come in, listen to it, adhere to it, know when to take a back seat and know when to come in and grab the reins."
When Rhona Mitra signed on to star in the new season of "Strike Back," she wanted to achieve one goal among all others.

Once upon a time, the makeup wizards at stila set out to conquer the dark forces behind our lackluster complexions. Their number one weapon: this two-in-one cream blush and lip shade trio, which works wonders on all skin tones. The creamy pigments go on sheer, and they're buildable so you can adjust the intensity of your look. You'll live happily ever after once you're armed with this ultra-versatile compact.
This Stila blush palette is fantastic. I got mine in "warm" which has slightly darker cheek colors than I typically wear, but I love it nonetheless. Camilla I find to be the least wearable for my fair complexion, but because it is matte, I sometimes use it with a light hand as a contour color. Gerbera is gorgeous and Honeysuckle is the perfect summery peach. I really want to own ALL the convertible colors because they are all so lovely.
These creams are not typical "cream to powder" formulas, and tend to stay a bit creamy and slightly sticky. I don't mind this, because they look dewey and fresh, and the stickiness means I can layer a powder blush or powder over it and it will last for days.
I love that the packaging is nice and compact so I can travel with it and it isn't too bulky but still gives me good options for cheek colors.
I love makeup sets. I also LOVE Stila. Two great ideas compiled into one! Usually with makeup duos or trios, you use more of one color or worse don't use another color at all. However with this set I combine all three each time! Or I can use only one or two. It is a great product!4
I love these cream colors and have used them on both my cheeks and lips. The colors are slightly different than what I expected, and look different again upon application, but all are very wearable for my medium olive skin. The consistency is great, and they work especially well in the drier winter months. That being said, I also wear them in the humid summer for a more dewy look.4
I love cream blushes for winter, and this is no exception. The three colors are moisturizing and have just the right amount of pigment. My only disappointment is that the colors looked different in real life than on the screen, which I guess is to be expected, and I had wanted a brighter pink. But I'll be wearing this product all winter.4
When I wear makeup I like it too look like I am wearing makeup. I don't want to look like I caked it on but I want to see some color. These blushes are creamy and easy to apply however they weren't very pigmented (in my opinion). Stila makes good quality products and this lip and cheek cream trio is excellent quality, it's a really nice set, I just feel it's too light for my medium/tan olive tone skin.3
I bought this palate because I am a regular user of Lillium (the color in the middle) and I was fresh out and wanted to try out some other colors. Lillium is still my go-to, but the pink and other color is great. Takes a little getting used to if you use powder blush, the color is a little tacky on your face- over all, I think the color is fabulous!3

First of all, I would like to say that I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question But anyway, here it goes:
I have been searching for an extension to ExtJS that will enable me to use CKEditor inside an ExtJS application, instead of the HtmlEditor ExtJS offeres, but I can't seem to find one.
My question is therefore: Does there exists an CKEditor extension to ExtJS and if so, where can I download it?
In advance, thanks.
Best regards

Earlier this month when a Pennsylvania mom brought her baby to the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, the child was drunk and limp like a noodle.
Police reported that the 1-year-old's blood-alcohol content was 0.289 percent, a level that's almost four times the limit for adults in Pennsylvania, according to WPIX-TV.
Jessica Bachmaier of Erie., Pa., says she left her daughter with a babysitter and a bottle of water and she thinks the man who was watching the child put vodka in the bottle.
The child has been placed in foster care and is doing well.
"I just want her to be OK," Bachmaier told WPIX. "I'm scared for her. I'm worried about her. I won't sleep. I won't eat."
Police are investigating the matter.

"Elks Pride" surfaced to the highest degree last Saturday at Tri-City Lodge No. 14 on West Shore Road in Warwick.

"Elks Pride" surfaced to the highest degree last Saturday at Tri-City Lodge No. 14 on West Shore Road in Warwick.
A short time ago, United States Marine Sgt. George Monteith approached Mark Eaton, Lodge 14's Exalted Ruler, about renting the two-floor facility for a pre-deployment luncheon.
Eaton quickly told Monteith, who is the United States Marine Corps recruiter based in Warwick, "OK, but just one problem; there won't be any charge for the hall rental."
The Lodge 14 leader who, along with other officers, has pumped new life into the Tri-City Elks in the past year, also told Monteith, "There won't be any charge for the luncheon, either."
Monteith, a United States Marine gunnery sergeant, was taken aback.
"That was an unbelievable show of generosity, especially since the luncheon would fall during the busy holiday season," Monteith said. "The Elks really made the day special for our new recruits – and their families."
To which Eaton replied, "These are our future veterans; young men and women going into the military. We wanted to give them a special sendoff."
And Lodge 14 did indeed make the afternoon special for 140 people.
"You don't have to believe in politics or war and government," Eaton said, "but you do have to support our men and women of our military. And, as Exalted Ruler, I'm very proud of this lodge for the participation we received from our members to put on this luncheon."
The deployment luncheon created so much interest that even two friends of Lodge 14 – Kathy Burnstingle and Janet Ward – showed up to help prepare and serve the multi-item buffet that included everything from meatballs and pasta to sausage and peppers to chicken and a variety of different desserts.
Lodge No. 14 members who helped make the deployment luncheon for 50 to 60 recruits and their families an overwhelming success, were Albert "Cookie" Delory, Richard Warner, Cheryl Devlin, Timothy Beaudry, Lori Eaton, Fay Lovejoy, Gina Appolina, Mark Eaton, Noel Petisce, Nicholas Rossi, Griff Williams, John Bonde and Robert and Susan Harrington.
"This was absolutely great!" exclaimed Rossi, a trustee at Lodge 14. "I've never seen so many people come out to volunteer for an event. I'm proud to have been part of such a great sendoff for these young men and women; it was a great day for the Elks, but more importantly the future members of our military."
Each recruit played a special role in the day's success, too.
"It was amazing," said Delory, Lodge 14's Mr. Everything volunteer. "Before the recruits could enter the building, they had to do 10 chin-ups on a special bar outside. They also had to bring a toy that would go to the Toys for Tots program. It's a good thing we had plenty to eat; especially after each recruit did those chin-ups."

I read up on the internet how they are suppose to look.
These are Lenny's fluffy paws. We don't want those things sticking out of his toes.
Side view of long pieces underneath. Again, a no-no.
Soooo......I followed the videos from the Golden people and this is what I got:
Goldens are A LOT of work. I brush him every day, have been slowly shedding him out, clip his nails every 2 weeks and clean his ears and teeth every week. While I am sure he doesn't look like the OTHER purebreds out there, I think he looks cute. Sort of Labradorish.
Here is is RUNNING with The Dork. (Pre-grooming attempt) Notice how he can now stretch his legs out like a SHOW DOG!!

Bar Bites: Grilled Tequila Chicken and Hatch Chile Quesadillas
Get the Recipe
Like Pumpkin Spice Lattes and McRibs, Hatch chiles are a hyper-seasonal food item that have their own legion of loyal devotees. But unlike that unnatural cup of joe, or the pseudo pork sandwich, a batch of Hatch chiles are indeed worth seeking out. (Okay, I'm a hypocrite. I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes and McRibs too, but let's keep that between you and me).
Grown in the Hatch valley of southern New Mexico, Hatch chiles have a short growing season spanning from August and into September. During these few weeks of late summer and early fall, New Mexicans go crazy for the green capsicums—buying up bags, boxes, and bushels of the chiles, roasting them and then throwing them into all manner of dishes ranging from chili verde, to burgers, to apple pies.
Luckily for the rest of the country, fresh Hatch chiles have become more widely available outside of New Mexico. In Southern California (my neck of the woods), masses of chileheads queue up outside a handful of select grocery stores and gourmet markets that sell the special chiles. These stores even offer to fire-roast the long green pods in steel drums rotated over open flames.
I usually skip the fire-roasting line because roasting the chiles at home is a cinch. Although you can roast the chiles directly over the open flame on a gas stovetop, I prefer to roast them, just until the skin chars and blisters, right on my barbecue grill.
After I've roasted, peeled, and chopped my Hatch chiles, I like to throw them in between a couple of tortillas, along with some grated cheddar and jack cheeses, and some grilled chicken thighs that were previously bathed in tequila and lime juice. The heat and earthiness of the Hatch chiles are a great match to the citrus tang of the chicken thighs.
In general, roasted Hatch chiles have a nice bit of spicy heat to them (though some Hatch varietals can range from mild to very hot). Hatches are also bittersweet, grassy, and smoky and have an overall flavor (some say) that are unlike any other chile pepper. That said, I do find that Anaheims or Poblanos are suitable substitutes—so don't fret if you don't have fresh Hatch chiles available to you.

Custom Explosion Boxes
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Check out these custom explosion boxes you can use to hold a present for a birthday or special occasion. Put a surprise inside for an explosive gift!
- The Ultimate Crafter's Companion
- Piece of cardstock (varies depending on size of box)
- Scissors and/or paper trimmer
- Glue
- Decorative paper or extra cardstock
- The first thing we'll need to figure out is what size explosion box you would like to create. The easiest box to make is a cube and is recommended for this project, but as you get a little more experienced you can play around with odd shaped boxes as an alternative.
- Using these supplied directions you can create explosion boxes as small as a 1" cube all the way up to a 3 1/2" cube in 1/2" increments.
- We will be making a 3 1/2" cube explosion box in this project example. We will be using the "Box Lid" portion on the box making side of the Ultimate Crafter's Companion Tool. See picture to the right. If you were to measure the spacing between each of these lines, you would notice that they are exactly 1/2" from each other and exactly 1/2" from the edge. This will be important to know as we decide which line to use when scoring our box and matching lid. See example to the right. with measurements shown for each score line.
- Now that you know what size box you want to create, here's how you figure out what size cardstock to start with. It's really quite easy. To figure out the starting cardstock size just take the size boxyou want to make and multiply this number by 3. So, if you want to make a 2" cube box you would start with a piece of cardstock that is 6" Square (2" x 3 = 6"). I'll be making a 3 1/2" box, so I am going to start with a 10 1/2" square piece of cardstock (3 1/2" x 3 = 10 1/2")
Step 1
Once you've figured out what size piece of cardstock to start with you will then need to decide how many inside layers you will want. I'll be making 2 additional inside layers, so I will need 2 additional sheets of paper or cardstock. I'll also be using paper instead of cardstock because I liked what I had laying around design-wise and the outside piece I've cut using cardstock will give my box stability.
Take one of these sheets and cut it down to 1/8" smaller than your original sheet of cardstock (10 3/8" Square). Take the last sheet and cut it down to 1/4" smaller than your original sheet of cardstock (10 1/4" Square). You should now have 3 sheets of paper or cardstock that are 1/8" different in size.
Step 2
Since we are making a 3 1/2" cubed explosion box, we will now need to score the outside layer of our box (10 1/2" square sheet of cardstock) so that we end up with 9 equal sections (3 1/2" per section).
To do this, line up your piece of cardstock up against the top of the board labeled "Box Lid" and score using the 7th line down. The 7th line down is exactly 3 1/2" from the edge of the board (1/2" x 7 = 3 1/2"). Score the same line on all 4 sides of your paper. Take the remaining 2 sheets of paper or cardstock you are using and repeat this same process, using the 7th line down.
Step 3
Your 3 sheets of paper or cardstock should now look exactly like the picture to the right, comprised of 9 sections, similar to a tic-tac-toe board.
Step 4
Using the scored lines as your template, cut out the corners of all 3 sheets of your paper or cardstock.
You should end up with 3 pieces that resemble plus signs.
Step 5
Using scissors or a paper trimmer, cut 1/8" off the 4 ends of your 10 3/8" piece and 1/4" off the 4 ends of your 10 1/4" piece of paper or cardstock.
You should now have a graduated stack of paper or cardstock, with each subsequent layer being 1/8" less than the one below.
Step 6
Fold in each of the corners on all 3 sheets of paper or cardstock
Step 7
Apply glue to the middle square of your outside piece of cardstock. (10 1/2" piece)
Step 8
Adhere your second piece of paper or cardstock to the first. (10 3/8" piece)
Step 9
Apply glue to the middle of this assembly.
Step 10
Adhere your last piece of paper or card-stock to your other two assembled pieces. (10 1/4" piece)
Step 11
Your finished box should now look like this.
Step 12
If you measure the bottom of your box you will notice that it is exactly 3 1/2". This is the size lid you will want to create.
Step 13
To figure out what size cardstock to use for the lid, you will need to ask yourself how deep you want your lid to be; or in other words, how far down you want your lid to hang over the top of the box. In this project I want it to hang down 1 1/2".
To figure out what size piece of cardstock to start with I will need to add the size of my box base (3 1/2") to the depth of the box lid, multiplied by 2 (1 1/2" x 2 = 3"). I'll then add 1/16" to this final number to give my lid a bit of breathing room. Here's the formula to make it easy for any size square lid:
(Size of the base of your box) + (Depth of your lid x 2) + 1/16" ie. (3 1/2") + (1 1/2" x 2) + 1/16" = 6 9/16" Square.
Armed with this information I will now cut a piece of cardstock.
Step 14
Since we have decided to make our lid 1 1/2" deep we will now need to score lines on all 4 sides of our cardstock at exactly 1 1/2" from the edge. Knowing that each line on the "Box Lid" side of our board are exactly 1/2" apart we now know that we will need to score the 3rd line down.
Step 15
To add a little interest to our lid I have decided to add a decorative embossed edge. To do this I'll flip the board over to the card making side and dry emboss each of the 4 sides as shown.
When you're finished, your lid should look something like this.
Step 16
Trim out a relief in each of the 4 corners as shown to the left using the scored lines from step 14 as your guide. Detailed instructions for assembling a box lid are located in the instruction manual if you need further information.
Step 17
Now, using the decorative embossed edge as your guide, use a pair of scissors to cut just to the outside of your embossed design. Your finished piece should look like the one shown to the right.
Step 18
Fold along all of your score lines, including the flaps that will fold in to secure the edges of your box.
Step 19
Tuck in the flap on each edge and inspect how they meet up with each other.
If the flap shows through the edge of the box, take a pen or pencil and mark the excess.
Using a pair of scissors, trim just inside the marking you just made.
Once you have fitted all of your flaps, use a wet adhesive as shown to put your box together.
It's also a good idea to use paper clips in the corners while your glue sets.
Step 20
As a final touch to my box lid I decided to add an embossed heart with a paper insert. To do this I flip my board over to the envelope making side of the board.
Put a corner of your lid into the upstands for the heart and dry emboss.
Next, I took a piece of scrap paper left over from one of the layers of my box and embossed the same heart.
Using a pair of scissors cut this embossed heart out, being sure to cut inside the embossing. This will allow it to fit inside the embossed heart you made on your lid. Use a wet adhesive to glue it on and you're done! I also used some extra cardstock and paper to add a message on the top of the box as well as another larger embossed heart inside.
Final Note:
To make explosion boxes bigger than what I've detailed previously you will still need to follow the basic rule of tripling the finished cube size of your box (ie. To make a 4" cube box you need to start with a piece of cardstock that is 12" Square (4 inches x 3 = 12 inches)). The next all important step is to make sure that a scoreline exists on the board to score the dimension in "Step 2" of these directions. In the case of a 4" box, you would use the line labeled "Half-Fold 8x8" on the card making side of the board.

I have been making these for years and they are just as much of a presentkeepsake as the gift inside. I really enjoy using contrasting bright colors for kids and funkier patterns for teens. This box is so much fun, I have even tried and succeeded with other shapes too! I never called them the explosion box but that does work, since when they are opened up they just fall away.

This project won't be used as you don't have a picture of what the finished project is supposed to look like. We can't read your minds. Creative people are usually visual learners and won't attempt things without a good illustration. The last bits of instructions need pictures too.

Reinsdorf, in Orlando on the eve of owners meetings, … confirmed for the first time a Sun-Times report last month that he was willing to let the Florida Marlins interview Guillen for their manager vacancy in exchange for a high-level player.
"The Marlins asked for permission to talk to Ozzie, and we told them we'd let Ozzie go if they gave us a particular player," Reinsdorf told the Sun-Times. "But we knew they couldn't give us the player."
Sources told the Sun-Times the player was touted young slugger Mike Stanton, but Reinsdorf said it wasn't Stanton. He declined to identify the player, but speculation points to first baseman Logan Morrison.
"We were never going to let Ozzie go, but if they would have given us this particular player," he said, "I would have let anybody go. … Everybody is available at a price. The only player I had that wasn't available was Michael Jordan."
Don't miss the last line!
UPDATE: Buford nailed it in his October 29 comment:
Here's the key sentence in KW's response "That's tampering. All I can say is the report isn't COMPLETELY accurate." This leads to the obvious question "Which part of the report is accurate and which part is not?" I would think the following is true (1) the Marlins want Guillen and (2) the Sox will let Guillen go, but only if compensated. The Stanton give-up may be the inaccuracy, but other players may also have been discussed.
With the Sox need for LHH and Konerko's possible departure, Florida 1B prospect Logan Morrison would be a wonderful addition.
