Zardoz – Immortality and the Utopian Apocalypse
Zardoz is the story of Zed (Sean Connery), a speedo-wearing Exterminator in the year 2293. Earth has been ravaged by an unspecified apocalypse. What remains of the ruling class, the Eternals, has absconded to live in secret utopian cities called Vortices. They have left their chosen warrior class, the Exterminators, in charge of administering (via rape, murder, and torture) the mammalian masses, or the Brutals, who harvest what grain remains on the sallow planet.
The Exterminators, though they do the Eternals' bidding, have no contact with their rulers. In fact, they have no conception of the larger reality at work (which we will get to soon). They worship the god Zardoz, who comes to them in the form of a giant flying stone head that vomits firearms. In exchange for the guns, the Exterminators supply the head with the grain tilled by the Brutals. It's an exceedingly logical system if you think about it.
Booms Zardoz:
"The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was, but the gun shoots death, and purifies the Earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth . . . and kill!"
Zed, we will learn, is not an ordinary Exterminator. He is an educated one, having been lured by a mysterious unseen figure to a library. There he feasted on the accumulated knowledge of mankind. It was good times and great oldies….until he came across a particular volume that blew his mind. The Wizard of Oz. Reading the classic, he realized that Oz was the prototype for the stone head of Zardoz, with its "loud voice and big mask." It was a sinister re-appropriation but, more importantly, an effective way of controlling the Exterminators. Provide them with guns and let them harvest the land.
This is the actual start of the film, when Zed, realizing that their god has been manipulating them, infiltrates the head of Zardoz and hides in a mound of grain. Zed hitches a ride to God-knows-where, and on the way he kills (or attempts to kill) the stone's pilot, Arther Frayn (who is identified as an Eternal in the film's prologue).
Zed learns that the stone has taken him to the nearest Vortex. Soon he finds himself surrounded by a legion of bemused Eternals (who look like the offspring of present day hipsters after they have time traveled and mated with 60′s hippies and then forged an everlasting Burning Man in the meadows of Ireland). One of the Eternals, Consuella, wants Zed destroyed, fearing him to be a danger to the community. Another female Eternal, May, who seems to have a bit of a crush on Zed, wants him studied instead. This view is shared by a subversive, irreverent Eternal by the name of Friend. Though Zed is now an indentured servant with the status of brute circus attraction, Friend takes Zed under his wing; meanwhile May studies him, using her psychic powers to mine his barbaric brain for clues as to how he came to arrive at the Vortex's doorstep.
While the Eternals learn about Zed, Zed learns about the Eternals. Custodians of the past, Eternals live merely to safeguard mankind's treasure trove of knowledge. They cannot die—a mysterious artificial intelligence called the Tabernacle (with whom the Eternals communicate via crystal rings) is constantly restoring and reconstituting their bodies. They cannot have sex, as immortality's strain on procreation has phased out the sensation of lust. And they cannot sleep, only meditate. Essentially they live long, boring, privileged lives, paid for with the blood of the Brutals. They are a self-regulating civilization with sophisticated social rules, a cult-like noosphere by which any citizen who momentarily expresses dissent is artificially aged and consigned to live as a "Renegade". Their legal system, therefore, seems to consist largely of group chants resembling the alien cacophony of choral voices in 2001. Another strange caste of their society is the "Apathetics," made up of Eternals who, lacking normal human desires, have fallen into unending states of catatonia.
Meanwhile, Consuella and May, using their catty psychic powers, learn that Zed is the end-product of biotechnology experiment conducted by Arther Frayn, the Zardoz god. Though Zardoz used the Exterminators to control the Brutals and provide the Eternals with grain, the more nefarious aim was to use "careful genetic breeding" to create a powerful warrior who, given the right impetus, would storm the Vortex and liberate the Eternals from their everlasting drudgery. Here it is revealed that it was Arther who was the mysterious figure who led Zed to the library, where he discovered the Wizard of Oz. Zardoz wasn't a god, he was a confidence man, a puppet master.
As the Eternals slowly begin to lose their minds, a decision is made by Consuella to kill Zed. Zed escapes with the help of May and Friend, who has been aged and now resembles a late-career Gene Wilder. Zed organizes a group of Exterminators to storm the Vortex, awakening (accidentally) the Apathetics from their collective daydream in the process. With the end in sight, the Eternals make a deal with Zed. A new exchange: now Zed receives knowledge (previously guns) of the Tabernacle in return for his seed (previously grain), for the creation of a future, mortal, human race.
The knowledge he receives pertains to how the Eternals came to be eternal. He learns they were made so by themselves, or, more accurately, their scientists created the Tabernacle in order to ensure that they could never die, "forcing the hand of evolution." Now, in order for the liberation to be complete, Zed must defeat the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle challenges Zed. "Would you kill God?" Zed takes the challenge by somehow sliding into the AI's crystalized, dark hall-of-mirrors nucleus, running around and screaming. It's sort of like the acid graveyard scene in Easy Rider, only it ends with the destruction of the Tabernacle and, with it, the Eternals being liberated from immortality.
The rest of the movie is Zed and the Exterminators "liberating" (killing) the Eternals with pistols. Most of them, finally released from their Tabernacle-controlled biology and craving death, welcome Zed as the Liberator. In a wonderful stroke of irony, the Liberator must return to his role as the Exterminator, for the only way to liberate the Eternals is to murder them.
The final scene is Zed and Consuella stealing off to bone in a cave. By bone I mean sex, but also literally, turn to bone–as they are shown aging in time lapse, finally left as nothing more than skeletons while their son peaces out into the Brutal/Eternal new world.
There are many aspects of Zardoz upon which we could dwell: the Wizard of Oz as a template for a flying stone head that acts as a god for barbarian foot soldiers; the concept of religion as a tool with which the ruling classes coax the masses into fitting a convenient social apparatus; Sean Connery in a speedo. But my interest in this film stems largely from the idea of mankind creating artificial intelligence as a method by which to prolong its life and attain immortality—technology as an escape from death.
There is a growing faction of futurists—some who identify as trans-humanist, others post-humanist, still others as singularitarians (those who profess to a coming age of exponential technological advancement beyond which nothing can be predicted)—who fervently believe that by successfully utilizing biotechnology, nanotechnology, and eventually artificial intelligence, humans will one day be able to completely erase senescence (death) as an inevitability. The idea of the Tabernacle, though it may not come to manifest itself by way of crystal, is very much a part of contemporary fringe science, even popular culture. This escape from physicality—as post-humanists ultimately believe in uploading their consciousness to non-biological substrates—plays evenly into the hand of Zardoz, in which physicality has been reduced to the historical rubble of statues and violence. The Eternals have no practical application as biological beings: they don't work, they don't make love, they don't even sleep—they merely steward mankind's accumulated knowledge, much like a piece of software might protect an archive of information. They are beholden to their own creation, technology as represented by Strong AI (the Tabernacle), by which they have avoided the most uniquely physical act in the universe: death itself.
A related point speaks to the rich and powerful using these advanced forms of technology to break away from the doomed human species and forge their own machine-enhanced super-species. While futurist rhetoric speaks to using trans-humanist applications to alleviate suffering in the world, it often sounds suspiciously like the kind of thing a guy whose car broke down might say to get into your house. He might just actually need to use your phone—or he may want to rob you blind. Futurists know good and well that the vast majority of humans won't be able to afford life extension technologies. It will be the rich and nepotistically connected who will be able to take advantage. Yet, if Zardoz is any guide, despite their levels of technological advancement they will be no more happy or valuable than the Eternals—just rich aristocrats tucked away in a Vortex, living off the sweat, blood and labor of the mortal underclass.
It will come as no surprise to me when the Singularity becomes enslaved to corporate interests, just as in Zardoz the Tabernacle is a slave to the Eternals and vice versa. As mankind merges with its technological creations, it becomes shackled to them, sentenced to a capitalist evolution. And there's nothing post-human about that.

Dear Editor:
In 2006, Go Get My Kids. Inc, Peace Be Still League helped to keep the peace throughout Jersey City for 105 days. The crime rate was drastically reduced and our youth and children played together without an incident. We worked together with C.A.B.A., the City Council, J.C.P.D., B.O.E., J.C.H.A., the Jersey City Department of Recreation, The Boys and Girls Club, Team Walker and the parents and youth of the program.
We have held 10 talent and fashion shows. The last show in 2011 hosted participants from five high schools and two colleges (Ferris, Lincoln, Snyder, Dickenson and Hudson County Vo-Tech, Colleges: Hudson Community College and Saint Peters.) We had in attendance 1,200 people – a full house with people from all over Jersey City.
Most of the youth that we worked with have, or are about to graduate, and we have to start all over again. We plan to reduce the dropout rate by implementing the program. We know for a fact that our program works in Jersey City and Newark. We believe that if we work together, we can minimize the violence and crime rate that will occur if we do nothing.
We are asking everyone in our community, our churches, local politicians, police departments, Board of Education and teachers, developers, local businesses, community organizations, and parents to donate $2 to the Jersey City recreation foundations, C/O GOGETMYKIDS. Inc., at 216 Central Ave. Jersey City, NJ 07307.
Together, we can hire our youth to work at our parks and housing sites. We will list all donors by name or anonymous on our GOGETMYKIDS Facebook fan page Listed under "People Who Care." Our youth do believe that no one cares about them. This will be one way to let them know that we care about their safety. As a community, we will be able to strengthen the hope of our youth.
The spring program will run until Saturday June 23rd with our championship playoffs. We will also run a spring break boys and girls basketball and Double Dutch tournament. We would like to hire two adults and one high school student from each of our 15 sites. We will post the sites, Sponsors list, pictures, all programs we offer are on our Facebook page: Facebook.com/gogetmykids.
Thank you for your support in Go Get My Kid. Inc program and the peace process in Jersey City. If you have any question please contact me at (201)448-6771.
Humbly yours,
Dwayne Baskerville

Sanitary High Lift Drum Dumper Accommodates Drums from 30 to 55 gallons
Flexicon's new Sanitary High Lift Drum Dumper allows drums to be loaded at floor level, sealed against a discharge cone, elevated and tipped, mating the cone to a gasketted receiving ring on downstream process equipment.
Trademarked Tip-Tite, the dumper accommodates drums from 30 to 55 gal (114 to 208 liter) and can discharge bulk material into process vessels and equipment inlets 5 to 10 ft (1525 to 3050 mm) above the plant floor.
The drum platform is raised by a single hydraulic cylinder, creating a dust-tight seal between the rim of a drum and the underside of the discharge cone.
A second hydraulic cylinder raises the platform-hood assembly vertically before tipping it to a dump angle of 90 degrees, causing the vertically oriented cone to mate with a gasketted receiving ring. The ring can be fitted to the lid of an optional hopper with integral flexible screw conveyor or pneumatic pick-up adapter, or to existing process equipment.
A pneumatically actuated slide gate valve prevents material flow until the discharge cone has been properly seated in the gasketted receiving ring.
The all-stainless unit can be finished to sanitary or industrial standards. Other models are offered in mild steel with durable industrial coatings, or with material contact surfaces of stainless steel.

TORRINGTON >> Torrington's P38 American Legion Baseball team celebrated summer baseball in December with its annual banquet at Bogey's Restaurant Sunday evening.
Announcer Art Benedict, WAPJ Radio, and players Andrew Gauvain, Joe Mateo and Pat Austin won team awards, prompting accolades and visions of future bright summers from head coach R.J. Poniatoski, general manager Biff Pond and president of operations Holly Pond.
Poniatoski started his recognition at baseball's pinnacles, lauding P38 alumni Evan Scribner and Mike Fabiaschi from the Oakland A's organization, then college standouts Conor Bierfeldt and Adam Claire. Scribner, a reliever, played an important role in the A's post-season success last summer. Bierfeldt won All-American status as a junior at Western Connecticut State College.
"The only thing better than Legion ball is college ball," said Bierfeldt. "It goes by too fast, so play until they tell you not to."
Behind-the-scenes supporters also got their due. Local businessmen John Griffey (Dunkin Donuts) and Dave Zeller (Zeller Tires) provide much of the operating budget that allows area kids to play free, said Poniatoski. The rest comes from an advertising program book put together by Rick Neller.
At the games, Bernie Rubino, Rob Schibi and Bob Knight help Holly Pond run the show everywhere but on the field.
The team honored WAPJ Radio, represented at the banquet by Zach McCabe and Art Benedict, for dedicating its resources to broadcasting P38 games.
Benedict, a veteran broadcaster at the all-volunteer station, won the Bernie Rubino Award, presented to the person coming closest to living up to Rubino's dedication to the team.
"Bernie is the consummate volunteer. He's been coming to every game since 1944," said Holly Pond.
Biff and Holly Pond are right behind him. Continued...
"They are the backbone of the program," said Poniatoski.
Pond, like any good general manager, revels in finding gems for his team.
"Adam (Claire) and Evan (Scribner) come from two of the smallest schools in the state (Litchfield and Shepaug)," Pond said. "If you're good enough, with the help of American Legion baseball, they find you."
Claire is a two-year starter for Division I Bryant University (Smithfield, Rhode Island).
Ben Canny, Sam Sherburg, Nick Yousefzadeh, Kyle Sanford, Colin Neller, Eric Girolimon and Quentin Kindred are all eligible to come back from last year's 12-15 team.
Connor Shugrue, Austin Patenaude, Dustyn Marfyak, Justin Binkowski, Will Austin, Pat Austin, Gauvain and Mateo are past the 19-year-old age limit.
Mateo earned the Scribner Family Award, in honor of long-time pitching coach Dave Scribner and his three sons, Evan, Miles and Troy, each an outstanding pitcher. Poniatoski reveled in the memory of Mateo mowing down batters in a win at Bristol, one of Zone I's (and Connecticut Legion's) most consistent powers.
Pat Austin joined Mateo on the P38 staff, winning the nod for Player of the Year as "arguably the best all-around pitcher in Zone I for two years," said Poniatoski.
Gauvain might have been the most coachable. Poniatoski gave him credit for taking every position on the field except the pitcher's mound when needed. Sunday, Gauvain took home the Coaches' Award for his efforts.
It's cold, it's windy, it's snowy. Continued...
The P38s find that a great time to think about summer baseball.

Stephan Rytz |
Written by Paul Mahoney |
Friday, 05 December 2008 09:35 |
Name: Stephan Rytz Where are you based? Nyon, Switzerland What is it that you do in the film industry? How would you describe your job/s? I direct and produce video projects for corporations and television. Who or what inspired you to work in film and why cover nature and conservation issues? The name of my company is ORCA Production. I always loved nature and I've been a member of WWF since I was a child. When I was younger, I applied to work with the Cousteau Foundation and then decided that I would produce nature documentaries. My first film on nature and conservation was done for WWF. I then worked for different companies who were interested in stories on sustainable development. My last production was a film on the future of the Rhone River, presented at the Menigoute nature festival in France. What is the favourite programme or series you've worked on? "Quel Rhône pour demain (What Rhone for Tomorrow)?" which was my last documentary looking at the impacts of hydraulic dams on the environment and what we need to do today to minimize these impacts. What has been your biggest challenge filming in the field? Filming terns migrating in Switzerland during the summer season. How has technology changed your job? Has it hindered or enhanced telling the conservation story? Nowadays, the market offers small HD cameras that are providing an image quality close tho the 2/3" cameras. We are using a Sony XDCAM EX, which helps us get outstanding footage on locations where small equipment is crucial. What is your favourite place in nature? The ocean, especially on Vancouver Island in Canada, where nature is first and humans are second. With all your field experience, what is your biggest concern when it comes to the environment? I have had the opportunity to film and visit different glaciers in Switzerland that are dramatically melting. When we compare them with the pictures taken 100 years ago, it's scary. But this doesn't seem to bother lots of people who are still using water unconsciously. We created a series in 2006 talking about wasting energy at home and water was one of the major topics. How do you think the media industry should be addressing environment and conservation issues? By continuing to show to people how the environment is changing and is threatening thousands, maybe millions, of lives. But we should concentrate more on the threats to industrialized countries from things like climate change to make politicians and investors understand that global warming does not only impact developing countries. What are you working on at the moment? Lots of different projects on the environment and other things but my favourite right now is a film on a hydraulic dam that needs modification to minimize impacts on the environment (the creation of a canal for fish migration, a path for beavers, planting of trees etc…) What would you like to remembered for? As a militant for minimizing human impacts on our environment in Switzerland, which still has many pristine areas where nature provides a lot. Links: |

DIAMOND, MO.--- Supplies commonly associated with schools and education are slowly becoming obsolete.
"Here in the very near future, it's going to go to computer-based testing where all students will test online," says Dr. Trish Wilson, Diamond Schools Superintendent.
Missouri school districts will be required to use computer-based assessments by the 2014-15 school year.
"Kids are more technologically advanced than most adults. So they have probably been expecting this, but more than that, welcoming it for quite some time," says Brent Jordan, Middle School Counselor.
Administrators say ditching the old pen and paper in favor of a mouse and monitor could have a positive effect on students test scores.
"I think there's some dread among kids as far as the state assessments go and there's some anxiety involved. But when you throw away the paper and throw away the pencil and put them in front of a computer screen, now it's fun, now it's okay, I can do this," says Jordan.
School administrators have already begun preparing for the new format.
"One thing that we are going to have to do for sure is to upgrade our infrastructure, including adding servers to be able to accommodate all this testing. We're going to have to increase our bandwidth," says Dr. Wilson.
Dr. Wilson also estimates the Diamond School District will need 2 new computer labs, centralized servers, and more IT personnel.
"That will be a huge cost up front, but in the long run, it would pay off. So that is something we are looking at and that's $40,000 to $50,000 up front," says Dr. Wilson.
The district will have to foot the bill.
"I'm not aware of any grants, but obviously it's an expectation from our state department and we're going to have to find district funds somewhere to make this happen," says Dr. Wilson.
School administrators say they plan to begin looking at the budget this year and hope to be able to begin work on the new labs in the upcoming school year.

text: Fishery officers and police have closed the net on a black market rock lobster ring operating near Mimiwhangata in Northland.In a joint operation, a series of simultaneous searches was executed on rural addresses in the Oakura and Punaruku areas late last week, said Darren Edwards, Ministry of Fisheries' district compliance manger for Northland.The searches were the culmination of an extensive surveillance operation sparked by information that a group of men had been diving in the Oakura area for crayfish, which was then being illegally on-sold on the local domestic market.The surveillance revealed that a particular address in Oakura was being used in a similar fashion to a cannabis 'tinny house' to sell illegal rock lobster and fish to members of the public. It is believed that crayfish was being sold for $15-$50 depending on its size, and snapper was being sold for similar dollar values.As a result of the operation, three locals have been spoken to and may face serious charges against the Fisheries Act with fines of up to $250,000 and forfeiture of property used during the offending. Also, property was seized, including two boats, two tractors, four vehicles, and associated dive gear.The operation highlights the total disregard for the law shown by a small group of people, said Mr Edwards."Our fishery is a finite resource and current regulations are there to ensure that we have a fishery for all to enjoy both now and for future generations," he said.Mr Edwards wanted to remind people that fish can only be bought from a commercial fisherman or a commercial fish premise, not from the back yard of someone's house as was the case in this operation."In cases like this, not only can the person selling the fish illegally be prosecuted, but those buying illegal fish can also be prosecuted and fined up to $250,000," he said.Anyone offered fish they think might not be being sold legitimately, or who sees any suspicious activity should report this to the Ministry of Fisheries on 0800 4 POACHER (0800 476224).

What is Prologue and what makes it unique?
Prologue has become what is said to be most popular role-playing server for World of Warcraft. With four years of experience we're aspiring to bring conventional gaming and role-playing closer, giving our players a highly unique World of Warcraft experience that does not take use of "Pay2win" systems or other cheap private server doings.
In Prologue you will not find "out of character" interactions; we're persistent on not allowing "Lollers" or non-roleplayers into our realm, additionally you will find that registrations here are most often closed, allowing for a controlled role-playing environment.
What defines Prologue is our approach towards RP (Role-Play) and our efforts to implement casual gaming elements with storytelling. RP is about telling a story, we felt that Retail WoW did not offer RP players solid tools to do so and therefor gave us the idea to create what Prologue is today. One of Prologue's most important feature to make the world feel alive is a concept called "Weavers". A weaver is a player that has been given tools to bring the world alive and practice dynamic storytelling. The inspiration behind this concept is what is typically called a "Dungeon Master" from many role-play forms.
Apart from weavers filling this world we've re-designed the basics of World of Warcraft to be more friendly (and dangerous!) towards characters. We do not believe in the common grind where players are constantly fighting monsters, and therefor your character starts at max level with the ability to wear any sort of items for the "Looks" rather than the "Stats". This mean that your character can wear level 1 items but will be equally good to someone who wears high tier items. Additionally we have a frightening but powerful death system where your character can meet true death. Our world is more inclined to be "realistic" which means that if you encounter an aggressive bear in Elwynn forest, or a raptor in The Barrens, you will have a challenging and intense fight on your hands.
There are many things that makes Prologue what it is, and we'll make sure you can read about all of it on our main website which is coming online in a few days. Below there's a Q&A for additional information on Prologue and private servers in general. For now we hope you will stick around and learn to know our community. Check Guilds and Groups for up and coming guild concepts, or perhaps introduce yourself in Member Notifications.

By the time Malala was flown to Britain, doctors had placed her in a medically induced coma.
"She was in a very bad condition," her father said.
"She is lucky to be alive," Dr. Dave Rosser, the medical director of University Hospitals Birmingham, told reporters.
But he described Malala's prognosis as "excellent."
She does not appear to have suffered significant brain damage, he said. "There's no real areas of concern, at this stage," he added.
He said she is tired, but "managed a big smile" when she saw her family. The teenager is able to breathe on her own, her father said.
Rosser said Malala can walk "with very little help, just a nurse's arm on her elbow for support, and she "appears to have very good memories of both the last few days of her care and events prior to this incident," he said.
But he said hospital staffers have not asked the girl about the shooting itself. "Asking people to relive the memories increases the chance of post-traumatic stress," he said.
On Friday, the girl was to undergo blood tests and tests on her hearing and vision, "just to make sure that we're not missing anything," since the bullet entered her skull above her left eyebrow, he said.
Rosser said an infection that had troubled doctors last week has cleared.

DINGESS - A defendant who is no stranger to the Mingo County court judicial system had managed to evade law enforcement since petit and grand larceny charges had been filed against him in February. These charges were in addition to an outstanding capias warrant for failure to appear in court on previous misdemeanor counts of thefts that was already against the accused.
According to information provided by West Virginia State Police Trooper J.J. Dean, he received a tip as to the whereabouts of Greg Copley, 41, of Dingess. Although previous tips had not resulted in Copley's capture, this time proved different and the defendant was located and taken into custody without incident.
In May of 2011, Sgt. Joe Smith with the Mingo County Sheriff's Department obtained warrants against Copley for allegedly stealing four new 8-lug wheels from an enclosed car hauler belonging to Jason Hannah, valued at $650. The defendant is said to have sold the stolen wheels to an individual at the cost of $300. Copley failed to appear in court to answer these charges, and the capias was filed.
On Feb. 5 of this year, Trooper Dean filed charges against Copley that included two counts of petit larceny (misdemeanor) and one count of grand larceny (felony). The warrants stemmed from the reported theft of $200 cash from Crystal Church and a Social Security debit card that Copley then used in an ATM machine at the One Stop Exxon Station in Delbarton to remove $1,000 from the account of James Ooten, in $200 increments.
The complaint stated that Copley was staying at the home of Ooten and Church at the time the theft occurred. Ooten contacted police after he was awakened by Copley rummaging through their belongings. After making the accused leave the residence, the listed items were found to be missing.
Copley was arraigned before Magistrate Dallas Toler who set bond on the new charges at $10,000. The defendant was unable to meet bond requirements and is incarcerated in the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden.

DIY Inspiration BoardBy: Allison of Petit Elefant This great project for a padded fabric and ribbon inspiration board comes to us from Allison of the ever-inspiring Petit Elefant. Using fabric which matches your decor, create one for the kitchen or the crafting corner in your home. I decided 2009 was the year for me to have an inspiration board. I've seen them all over the place, I love them and I've wanted one of my own for a long time now. I'm a fairly crafty person, so I thought I'd just throw some materials together and see what I came up with. I'm really pleased with the result.
First I bought a piece of fiberboard from Home Depot for around $3.50 and had it cut to the size specifications I needed, I measured the wall next to my desk beforehand so I knew exactly how much space I had to work with. I believe the board was 4' x 6' so I have plenty leftover to do a board for my daughter's room. Next I went to my local fabric store and selected some beautiful fabric. I've seen Inspiration Boards with plain backgrounds, but I wanted mine a little sussied up so I went with a really pretty home décor fabric in a color that I love green. I think I got maybe ½ yard, and it was on sale so it cost me about $4. I bought some ribbon in the same fabric store so I could see how the colors looked together great, if I may say so and I was off. I think the ribbon was around $2. I also picked up some batting meant for a Christmas tree skirt; it was on clearance for something like .20 cents but any quilt batting will do. So all in all I was out less than $10 for the whole project. And it's custom made so I love it. Easy peasy. Steps:
Now you're really done. Now hang it on the wall somewhere you can see it every day, and tuck in your happy little mementos. Enjoy! Related ProjectsRelated Products to Buy from CutRateCrafts.com - save 15-30% |

Delight friends and family members with the Everyday Pop-Up Cards cartridge! With this cartridge, it is easy to create pop-up cards for almost any occasion. The layered phrases are perfect for cards, scrapbook layouts, home décor, and other creative projects. Use the latest Cricut® cartridges to create unique and engaging designs for eve.....
Click here to read product details
I was so happy to get this one as I do make some of my own pop-up cards.thinking this will be easyer, no no, I've had to oil my brain 2 times and still have a lot of smoke. If they should be done as plane in size and order that is important to tell us. Reading between line does not work for me. Please put in order of how to use . or should I give up and sell all . not happy
I've tried to figure this out and was soooo excited to buy this.. but it is so frustrating to try and put together. thought it would be a quick way to get some cards made... boy was i wrong. i should have read the reviews before buying. next time i will!
There is a website I found with some instructions but still does not help. This is one I would take back if I could. Its garbage.
There is a picture booklet of instructions available but I had to email Cricut and ask where it was. You'd think they'd put a link to it on this site.... Don't you?
It still doesn't give assembly instruction which shame on Cricut should've been given. I make my own pop-up cards. Just thought this would give me more options and be easier. Quite the contrary. Why the funky plastic box it came in? Cricut! Are you checking out these reviews?
I went on a scrapping weekend this weekend and had high hopes of making some cards with my new cartridge. I made the sample card and it took me a while to work out how to position the pop-up for full affect. Then I started on the Birthday Cake and spent hours trying to figure out how it went together. All I can say is "What were you thinking people!!??" The least you can do is come up with a printable instruction sheet.
I agree with all the previous reviews. Where is the picture book with instructions on how to assemble the pop-ups? A waste of money.
I cannot believe that Cricut would actually put their name on a cartridge like this. I have a very large collection of cartridges & expected a lot more than this. I got so discouraged trying to figure out the "pop ups" that I put the cartridge in the back of my closet - probably never to use again.
This is worse than worthless, I lost so much faith in the Cricut company, not only from this horrible cartridge, but the time, paper and blade use -- WASTED! I have many years experience, and two Cricut machines, and still could not figure out this cartridge. I wish I could return it and at least recoup that waste of money ... I'll never get my time and paper back. Cricu, what were you thinking? You should at least refund our cartridge cost!
I love all my cricut cartridges but this one. I thought it would be wonderful and it is the most ill thought out cartridge. I've never had something that I couldn't find a way to figure out, but this has me dumbfounded. And I've tried to load the instruction sheet many times and no luck. Seriously, Cricut people, you need to fix this horrible mess of a cartridge. Even youtube has very limited help.
We had two people trying to figure out this cartridge. We ended up putting the cartridge back in the box. Better instructions are needed. It will stay in the box until we get some.
I have other cricut card cartridges I like; however this one is ridiculous. It is an impossible waste of time and money. If cricut wants to keep me buying their cartridges they need to have supplemental instructions for those of us suckered into buying this.
I am so disappointed with this cartridge and the failure to include clear instructions. I tried to make two types of graduation cards and failed with both. I have searched for you tube videos hoping to get a clearer picture of where to fold and where to attach. I paid a premium to get this cartridge when it was first released and it was a waste of money and my time.
My friend and I are usually pretty quick on the uptake and have fun figuring out new things.....this cartridge, however, has us both requiring extra strength headache medication. We're both tired and fed up and have now tossed the cartridge into the "colossal waste of time" bin. By dumbing down the cartridge handbook, Cricut has completely lost the creative edge on his one!
Each pop-up card needs detailed instructions! Even the sample project the Pop-Up Plane Card did not have detailed folding instructions. Please give us detailed instructions for each project! What a waste of money and time!
I got this cartridge for Christmas and thought it would make some great new cards. My first attempt is my last, Cricut needs to supply the folding instructions to be able to make the cards. Very disappointed in this cartridge, probably won't use it again unless they provide more information for free.
I have no idea how to put these cards together. There are no instructions. I would never have purchased this if I had known.
I LOVE this cartridge! I have used almost every cut on it! Now, I will say that while I think the pop-ups are great, it could DEFINITELY use layers for those pop-up cuts! I would LOVE a whole cartridge of pop-up cuts PLUS their layers! So while I don't use the pop-up feature very much, the normal cuts are excellent and I use it ALL the time! Great buy!
Like most everyone else's review I am incredibly disappointed with this cartridge. I wish I would have looked up it's reviews before I forked out the money for it. They really do need to provide instructions to make the cards. Shame on them!
I like this cartridge, but it does require some work to figure out. I followed the instructions that are online, but they are a little difficult to decipher. Would be better if the copyright wording did not cover all the diagrams, which are a bit fuzzy to begin with. Overall, once I put some time into it, I did manage to get them to work with wonderful effect.
This cartridge is the worst I have ever used. I have over 50 and I have to say this one I have only used twice. The first right after I got it and the second today, I had forgotten how hard the pop up cuts are to figure out.
I had such high hopes for this cartridge but am so, so disappointed. I have spent a number of hours trying to make a birthday card and even with the instructions on this site, I have not been able get the card put together. This cartridge really needs detailed folding instructions that are clear. Sorry I spent the money on this one.
This cartridge is not worth it. I wish there were more detailed examples on how to put all the pop-up's together. The directions online are not detailed at all.
I bought this cartridge before I saw all the bad reviews, but I figured what the heck, I'll try it. One Google search and YouTube video and an hour later, I had a beautiful little note card. Once you cut the images out and score them, it takes a creative eye to see how it goes together. If you are having trouble, look it up on Google, there are step by step instructions out there! Cricut just doesn't include them for some reason.
I gave it an extra half a star because the images are really nice for making cards or other projects. But lets face we bought it for the pop up affect! And if I have to go searching google or youtube for instructions, then it really isn't a good buy! But if you want it for images then it is a nice one. But for what we spend on materials and cartridges and mats, and blades, and the list is endless with cricut. Cricut could have at least given some instructions that I don't have to do a google search on, really!

Mass Effect 3 is the third and final installment of BioWare's popular Mass Effect series relating to the story of Commander Shepard. The third game will raise the stakes in Commander Shepard's fight to save the galaxy from the deadly reaper threat. In the game's reveal trailer, Earth is shown in flames and under attack from an unknown alien force. Commander Shepard will have to rally the galaxy to fight the reapers and make decisions that could destroy entire civilizations from previous games.
Mass Effect 3 for the first time feature a multiplayer component to the series with the Galaxy War System, which will allow players to participate in cooperative multiplayer missions to help sway the galactic readiness in their own storyline. The multiplayer component is optional and players can still complete the single player game and get the best ending without ever playing the multiplayer mode.

Mobile development on multiple platforms
Itude mobile creates custom apps and custom mobile websites. Cross platform – and generally combining new technologies with legacy systems. Our experienced specialists develop native applications for Apple iOS, Android devices and complementary mobile websites for other devices. Native code makes for attractive apps that can leverage the specific features of a device. In every application we build, we put device fragmentation, security and system integration issues first. Our standardized cross-platform and system integration components allow for real re-use of code between iPhone, iPad, Android and mobile web.
Itude was founded in 1992 and was specialized in architecture and development of mission critical systems for large organisations. Itude Mobile spun off in 2005 and became a separate company in 2009.
From concept to App
Turning a good idea into a great App is a lot of work and hard to get right. We enjoy adding our mobile expertise to a customers business knowledge to create cool products. Itude Mobile uses prototyping and structured multidiscliplinary workshops to elaborate on initial ideas, to make sure an App has a good user-experience and to ensure an App is technically viable.
Then we develop apps using agile methodologies like SCRUM and our own cross platform design methodology. Often our mobile software libraries are used to add speed and quality to the development process.
Finally our experienced mobile testers ensure App quality. From start to finish we coach our customers through the App creation process.
Mobile platform and methodology
Itude Mobile has created mobile apps and mobile websites since 2005. We have developed our own toolset and methodology to cope with the special challenges of mobile. We offer proven software components for many mobile enterprise functions. On top of that we offer functional components for wealth management apps.
Enterprise integration, skilled IT professionals
Itude has been involved in major IT projects for over 20 years. We leverage the experience we have gained for our mobile projects. Itude has extensive experience with creating innovative IT solutions from an idea on a whiteboard to working software and maintaining that software through its lifecyle. Itude staff are skilled in project management, architecture and design, integrating enterprise systems, and java and Oracle technologies.
Our focus is on health and finance
Itude mobile is focussed on Apps for Health and Finance. Both require the same professional approach to complex functionality, security and deep integration with core business systems. Mobile Healthcare and Mobile Finance offer the potential to be meaningful additions to people's lives.
Mobile Financial Services
Itude Mobile staff are experienced in creating top of class mobile financial applications. Add to that two decades of experience in enterprise integration and systems architecture for banks, insurers and wealth management firms. We offer standard components for wealth management and investment functions. But we can also work to order, translating financial services into easy to use financial apps.
Mobile Health
Mobile Health is a new and rapidly evolving domain. In many european countries health budgets are a substantial part of GDP. With ageing populations, health budgets are a main contributor to Standards & Poor downgrade of government-bonds. Mobile Health is seen by many as a way to cut costs by radically changing existing workflows.Itude Mobile has created apps for pharmacies, wellness apps and is involved in a number of hospital led initiatives. We have a continous R&D effort aimed at health care apps.

Take a look at our Blog posts below...
Welcome to our blog. Its great to have you here.
We wanted a place where we could explain the type of work we do, our goals and passions, the business journey and any successes we have along the way. We also wanted somewhere to hold all that trivia that has a connection to what we do here at OpenCRM (sometimes we admit these links are very tenuous). Please take a look and feel free to contact us if you have any comments, ideas or feedback we would love to hear from you - just click here.
It is imperative to keep track of your data, files and other important information. As recently shown with the Doctor Who potential plot revelation controversy, it can be so easy to lose track things and this can have dramatic consequences. When you have too many plates spinning, it is likely that one, two or all of them will fall.
So, why not put all your plates together safely in the cupboard. Stack them neatly so you know where to find them, as and when they are needed.
OpenCRM is like this cupboard, it will help you to collaborate all your different business data and documents into one safe

I am already reading articles proclaiming the death of social media. No, seriously I really am! OK, so once we have got over the attention-grabbing headline, we can start to look at what the author is actually trying to tell us. It seems that figures for Facebook usage (in certain countries) amongst teenagers has levelled off, if not actually dropped. The dramatists can look at this figure in any number of ways and read different reasons into it such as:
Food – I love to talk about food, watch cooking programs and read cookery books. I love to hear what people have had for their lunch or tea, what they're planning to cook at the weekend and generally what people are doing in the world of food, glorious food. I think if I was stranded alone on a desert island, talking about and enjoying great food is what I would miss the most.
With this in mind, I think it's clear to say that as a customer, if you try to sell me fresh food off a market, a cookery book or a meal at a nice restaurant, you won't have to try very hard!
Knowing what
When the water of a river stops moving it stagnates and not only will a foul smell start to rise from the murky depths but its life and soul will die off. Just like a river, your sales funnel needs to keep flowing. It won't suffice if you just pump your CRM software full of leads as this data will remain lifeless if nothing is done with it eventually clogging up your system with redundant records.
Once the leads are in place, one of the first steps is to qualify and segment them. Some leads might be easy wins and can be fished straight out and into your prospects and opportunities. Others

At the trial of Nihad Bojadzic, a prosecution witness described his captivity in the "Battle of Neretva" museum in Jablanica in 1993 as the worst part of his life.
Miroslav Stipanovic, a Bosnian Croat, said that he was captured by the Bosnian army and police on July 27, 1993, in the village of Doljani near Jablanica.
He said that he was a member of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, but that at the time of his arrest he wore civilian clothes, because he had just returned from a military assignment.
The witness added that he was taken to the Battle of Neretva museum, where he saw around 300 captured Bosnian Croats– children, women and men.
In the night of the first day of his captivity, Stipanovic said he was beaten during the interrogation.
"My hands were held above my head. I was hit with a broomstick and kicked while being interrogated," said Stipanovic, who is the first witness at the trial of Bojadzic for crimes committed in Jablanica.
Stipanovic explained that he was brought to the basement by a policeman he knew and another man who interrogated him and held the broomstick.
The witness said that he could not recognize the man, but he remembered his "Montenegrin-Sandzak accent."
Asked by the prosecutor, Vesna Budmir, if he learnt or heard the name of the man who hit him, the witness replied that "the only name he heard mentioned was Nihad Bojadzic".
Bojadzic, former deputy commander of Zulfikar detachment with the headquarters of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is charged with beating, sexual abuse and rape of Bosnian Croat prisoners in the Battle of Neretva museum.
While in captivity, Stipanovic added, he had heard of women being raped, and that men were forced to have sexual intercourse.
"I have spent the worst part of my life there," said the witness, who left the museum in March 1994.
Before examining the first witness, the prosecutor presented her opening statement, emphasizing that "the victims felt the hand of Nihad Bojadzic and remembered it well."
Bojadzic is already on trial, with five other men, before the Bosnian court for the crimes against Bosnian Croats in the village of Trusina in 1993.
The trial will resume on September 27, when the defence will cross examine Stipanovic.
Timeline of events in the case against 13 former Serb fighters charged with committing war crimes in the villages of Cuska, Zahac, Ljubenic and Pavlac in Kosovo in 1999.
