Mantle Remade
I went through the attic and found any photo frames that weren't being used. A few of them I left black, and a few I painted with my new favorite blue color. I left a few of them empty, and put scrapbook paper behind two.
This one is hanging because there was already a nail in the wall from a previous hanging. It seemed kind of hollow, so I used a strip of material to run through the middle. On the material, two small frames are hung. Again, we are trying to sell our house, so most of our personal pics have been put away for house showings. I didn't want to leave these little frames empty, so I found some interesting images in a magazine for them. I also really like the POP of the only red frame.
As usual, I am completely obsessed with jars, and as of late...painted jars. Simply get yourself some spray paint, and get to it spraying the inside of the jar. Let dry. BAM! You're done! There was a chipboard embellishment that I thought would work great, so I slapped that on a jar with some twine. Some small candles have been placed inside the candles for a little evening ambiance.
I saw this idea for the doilie on Crafts by Amanda. For this painted jar, I used spray adhesive. Spray the doilie, then roll the jar on top of it. Soaking the doilie in paint dyed it the bluish color.

Despite being one of our faves, Kaytranada's Leave Me Alone featuring Shay Lia missed our attention. Listen here if you missed it too.
Playlist maestros Digster have recently published their picks for 2015 and as I traversed the dense selections of new age R&B, pop and electronic music, a familiar name popped up like a Pokémon in tall grass. Kaytranada has featured heavily on Sampleface for the past years so it's great to see the Canadian producer garnering some much needed shine for his efforts. The song featured in Digster's 2015 playlist was Leave Me Alone, off his upcoming EP "So Bad" and captures the spirit of a Balearic dancefloor with a side-chained beat and rattling rhythmic accompaniment. While writing this, I've replayed it about four times and I'm kicking myself for missing it the first time around. This will definitely go onto my summer playlist for 2015, even if it is a year late.

Facebook & Free Speech
Facebook & Free Speech
For many of us, the idea that a high school coach could legally request a student's personal password for Facebook and then punish her for her private online exchanges is absurd. And yet, taking high school junior Mandi Jackson's assertions as true, this is exactly what happened at Pearl High School in Mississippi—and that's why she's suing the school district for violating her right to privacy and freedom of speech.
Mandi contends that a cheerleading coach asked the squad to provide their Facebook passwords; while some cheerleaders immediately deleted their accounts, Jackson willingly provided her account password only to be "publicly reprimanded, punished and humiliated" according to the complaint.
In Mandi's personal Facebook message box, the coach allegedly found a series of messages that contained vulgar language and had been sent between Mandi and a peer. The coach then shared these messages with other teachers and coaches, as well as the principal and superintendent, resulting in Mandi's banishment from certain school activities and events, including those for which she had already paid fees.
"I would have been completely fine with the school officials looking at my public [profile on] Facebook, but I think they went too far with getting my password and looking at my personal messages between me and my peers," Jackson said. "They were conversations between me and my friends, so I shouldn't have gotten in trouble for them."
Was This a Violation of Privacy and Freedom of Speech Rights?
In Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, the watershed case regarding students' rights in public schools, the Supreme Court famously announced, "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."
Given that Jackson's Facebook communications took place off-campus (the social media site is blocked from school computers) and that the matter discussed in the messages didn't apparently involve any threats of violence or anything having to do with the school, it's hard to imagine how the school can even attempt to justify its intrusion into and punishment for Jackson's personal messages.
From Jackson's complaint, it seems that the school district expects its students to shed their rights not only at the schoolhouse gate, but at home, at the mall, or wherever else they might use the Internet. The school district has not commented publicly on the lawsuit.

I guess you could say Anastasia Volochkova is the one who got this blog started. The idea came to me while I was watching a video of her in her Maryinsky days, which led to me watching (this was on YouTube, after all), a much more recent video of her. I wasn't terribly impressed with either, but the latest video seemed to indicate that she's drifted toward the realm of the Las Vegas show dancer. Not that that's bad, but it's really not what a highly-trained ballerina normally strives for. Nor should it be.
About half the more-recent video focused on her beautiful, albeit makeup-caked facial features. Certainly facial beauty is an asset for a ballerina; that's not the problem. Relying heavily on it to sell oneself is the problem. Why? Because while facial beauty is a great gift for a ballerina to have, it can be created if it does not naturally exist. There are too many other serious considerations in this art form to focus excessively on one's face. Leave that to models, actresses, and Las Vegas show dancers.
As for the rest of the video…well, she was wearing a classical tutu for some reason. I didn't see anything particularly classical about her performance. It was all posturing — you know, sorta like in Black Swan, but without the sprayed-on sweat, or any type of sweat at all. To the untrained eye (especially one that merely enjoys looking at pretty girls), it may be awe-inspiring. To people like me, it is nothing other than obviously wrong.
Actually in neither video did she show much technique, acting ability, taste, or style. And it's clear that she either has terrible feet or doesn't properly break her shoes in (or maybe they just don't fit? I really couldn't tell why it looked like she had crunched-up paper bags on her feet). Having less than spectacular feet has become a crime these days. I didn't think she looked fat, but then again I dislike the current dancing-skeleton norm. Most shocking, especially for a Russian dancer, was that she didn't show much turnout in the latter video.
In an attempt to be fair, however, think about some great ballerinas of the past:
(1) Margot Fonteyn: shapeless feet and often sub-par extension. Would never be allowed to graduate from a serious ballet school in today's world.
(2) Anna Pavlova: no turnout; weak technique. Say what? The great Anna Pavlova, who is still, 80 years after her death, the only ballerina most people can name? Yes. Look at the videos of her.
(3) Fat? That's another charge leveled at Volochkova. However, any number of ballerinas of the past were fat. In fact by today's standards, they all were. So let's just say I'm not at all impressed with the "fat" charge in this case — at least not any more than I am impressed with the "too tall" charge (which has also been aimed at Volochkova), since there are several other ballerinas in recent history and still active who are as tall or taller than she.
(4) (coming back to the present) Alina Somova: weak turns, can't balance to save her life, wasn't much of an actress for a long time but is improving; however, why she is a principal and Evgenia Obraztsova is not is still a mystery to me.
In Russian ballet in particular there seem to be many such mysteries. According to Volochkova's version of events, she was the first and only Vaganova Academy student to simultaneously study there and dance solo roles with the Maryinsky. (Research shows that while this apparently hadn't happened often in the long history before and hasn't often been repeated in the almost-two decades since, she wasn't the only one.) Obviously someone saw great ability in her. Then again, they may only have looked at her Hollywood-starlet face and figure and decided to apply a wishful promotion.
It has to be that. Ballet is so demanding on so many levels that no one can ever be even close to perfect. But I have never seen so many flaws come together in one once highly-praised dancer.
Ballet is always in danger of degenerating into a girlie show; I think this is why seeing Volochkova almost scares me. She's already there at the girly-show level, as if to say, "look, I'm beautiful and I have toe shoes on, so I'm a ballerina." One gets to worrying that this sort of posturing might all too easily become accepted as the norm.
But I've noted that she's been savagely criticized by a broad spectrum of people. Perhaps that indicates that the public has wised up and there is nothing to fear as far as what she does being confused with ballet. One can hope, anyway.

Autumn Sewing Courses - NOW BOOKING!
Hello, it's me again. And today I am checking in with a short little post to let you in on a secret.
I'll be taking a break from sewing over the summer - yes you read it right. I am going to step away from my sewing machine. I know, I know. Hard to believe. But, it's not long until our holiday to Devon (wheeeeeeee!), and I don't think I can fit my sewing machine into the car, once it is full of children, buckets and spades and the gazillion other things we'll need to take on holiday.
But. Thinking ahead, I have been plotting the autumn sewing plans. Some personal projects I want to do, and also my new sewing classes. There's a few shiny new ones in there, and some old favourites are returning.
Also new this time round is that I have made the switch to online booking. No more hunting for stamps and a cheque book. You can see what's available and book from the comfort of your sofa.
Full course details are here and I'd love you to take a look if you'd like to learn to sew and live in or around the brilliant place that is Bedford (am not even going to apologise or try and hide the fact that I love my home town).
Here's a work in progress Flashback Skinny Tee (with butterfly embellishments as requested by my four year old a while ago), which is one of the new courses on offer.
And, knowing that sewing gets a little bit addictive, I am running a special offer of a free workshop place for people who decide to go ahead and do more than one course with me.
I'd love some help spreading the word about all this. If you happen to be near Bedford, please do share the links if you're on Twitter or Facebook. If you link back to me one way or another so I know you've shared, I'll add your name into a hat for a free workshop place, by way of a thank you. I'll draw this competition on 25th July.
And finally, talking of competitions... I got the biggest girl and the middle girl writing out names and pulling one out of a hat (actually, it was an empty baby milk tin, but never mind) again today. Emma Eames is the lucky winner of the Lisa Lam patterns. Please email me, Emma, with your details, and I will pass them on to the publisher for them to send your patterns out to you. Yay! Well done!

How exciting - thank you so much to you, biggest & middle girl, the milk tin and of course Lisa Lam! The perfect way to get my sewing mojo back!!! :o) xXxReplyDeleteReplies
Brilliant - glad the patterns will go to a good home! And yes, a bit `low tech' to do it the old fashioned way and pull names out, but the girls quite enjoy getting involved. Happy sewing! :)Delete
Your courses look like fun ; ) Hope you get lots of interest xReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Caroline! I really love my sewing evenings - it's always fun meeting new people, and, sharing my sewing passion with them and watching it rub off as they make their first thing. Have just received my first couple of bookings - wasn't sure how the new system would work, but all seems smooth so far. :)Delete

My Dad could never get it right...he always thought it was Happy Eastern (not Easter!) It's an on-going little joke now, but a nice way to remember him.
It's been a nice weekend. Saturday I cleaned up the backyard and got the vegetable garden area tidied up. It was a lot of work, but very satisfying. I am planning to plan what we are going to plant while we are away. This time next week, we will be in Lisbon! I am so excited, and can't wait to see new places. We are renting a car and driving up the coast from Lisbon to Porto. No plans in Portugal other than getting in the car and driving! We will go wherever the wind blows us. Our first 4 nights in Lisbon are busy with the conference I'm attending, but they have tours and dinner plans arranged for us every night, and Greg is included in those plans. I'm really looking forward to it. Last year, they held the conference at Hilton Head which was also really amazing.
We are ending our two week vacation with 3 nights in Paris and 1 night in Vienna. Those hotel rooms are booked already, and there are great reviews written up about them. I'm hoping that they will be as good as people say because the rooms were only $100 CDN a night, which is pretty cheap by European standards, I believe. The hotel we are staying in in Paris is in Montmarte and 100 metres from the Moulin Rouge. Expect to see a few pics of the windmill! I think we are going to splurge and go to the show while we are there. Why not?!
Today Greg and I took the dogs to the beach today for a long walk. OMG did they love it! They both went swimming Lake Ontario, in fact little Laila took her first little dog paddle all by herself! Needless to say, both dogs were soaked and smelled quite fragrant. They seemed to like the way they smelled, but I think both knew that they were in for a bath as they tried to hide under the coffee table the second we got home. Two dogs in the shower and a lot of shaking led to a very wet bathroom, but at least everyone smells better now. I found a pink rock that I will add to my garden edge, but it did look prettier when it was wet. Never mind, I will call it my Easter Rock.
We are heading over to Greg's Dad's place for Easter dinner. I'd much rather hang out at home, but that's not going to happen. We can't bring the dogs with us, because Greg's step-Nona has an artificial leg and is afraid the the dogs will knock it off! That would stir up some excitement, wouldn't it?! Amazing Audrey will dog-sit for us this afternoon, and may even stay at our place to make cards. I have turned our dining room table into a card making studio and we've been having fun just gabbing and making cards. I'll try to post some this week, because they really are quite pretty.
My brother is one person who actually buys items from infomercials. I don't know why he does this, but he has bought a Doctor Ho (electrical massage!) and breathalyzers, and a bunch of other stuff. His latest purchase was for my Mom's birthday: Smooth Away: Removes Hair Instantly and Pain Free! Discovered in Europe! (but made in China) Gently Exfoliate While Removing Hair! No Pain. No Chemical. No Razor Burn. "But wait!!!! Buy one now, and for absolutely free, you will get a second package. Ab-so-lu-tly Free!" So he bought it, and 8 packages arrived.
He gave me one, and, I have to tell you....it's phenomenal! No word of a lie. I have not shaved my legs all winter, and within a matter of minutes my legs are as smooth as anything! I went a little crazy and also attacked my upper lip, and my beard and also my peach-fuzzy cheeks. Hair....GONE! Who knows what will happen once the hair starts growing back, but for now, I am giving it a 10/10.
That's it. I wish you all a wonderful Easter Sunday. I hope you got out and enjoyed the day following old traditions, or inventing new ones.

Swear to god, this short story in a Cthulian vein almost redeems ThoughtCatalog. Almost. It's THAT good.
Some people spend their whole lives bored. They might not even know it, but they are. They get up in the morning, go to work, head home, eat dinner, go to bed – this same tired routine playing out endlessly, endlessly, day after day until they find themselves in the ground. Some people will never realize they wasted their life until it's already over.
Not me. I lived my life to the fullest. I did everything I ever wanted to – ate the finest foods, traveled to exotic lands, slept with beautiful women – because I understood what most people don't. I knew that everyone is handed this one chance to experience the world as it spins in the darkness of space, but more importantly I knew that you only get so many spins.
I have my first wife to thank for this. It will surprise some…

Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter on Wednesday became the first state chief executive to sign a measure requiring his attorney general to sue Congress if it passes health reforms that force residents to buy insurance. Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states.
Constitutional law experts say the move is mostly symbolic because federal laws supersede those of the states. But the movement reflects a growing national frustration with President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul.
Democrats are hoping to pass a version of the reform by this weekend.
Last week, Virginia legislators passed a measure similar to Idaho's new law, but Otter was the first state chief executive to sign such a bill, according the American Legislative Exchange Council, which created model legislation for Idaho and other states. The Washington, D.C-based nonprofit group promotes limited government.
"Congress is planning to force an unconstitutional mandate on the states," said Herrera, the group's health task force director.
Otter, a Republican, already warned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in December that Idaho was considering litigation if health reform went through. He signed the bill during his first such public ceremony of the 2010 Legislature.
"What the Idaho Health Freedom Act says is that the citizens of our state won't be subject to another federal mandate or turn over another part of their life to government control," Otter said.
Minority Democrats in Idaho who opposed the bill called any lawsuits over healthcare reform frivolous.
Senate Minority Leader Kate Kelly, D-Boise, also complained about the bill's possible price tag. Those who drafted the new law say enforcement may require an additional Idaho deputy attorney general at a cost of $100,000 a year.
Kelly said that was irresponsible when Idaho is grappling with a $200 million budget hole.
"For Democrats in the Legislature, our priority is jobs," she said. "We'd rather Governor Otter was holding a signing ceremony for (a jobs package) meant to put Idaho residents back to work."

OCD and Christmas
I start with a confession, this Sharepost only loosely associates OCD with Christmas. More accurately, it's about a memory I have, which faithfully, you might say obsessively, presents itself every year about this time. This is about Jack (not his real name) my introduction to OCD and a few things I've learned along the way
I first spoke to Jack through a closed door. Our negotiations took quite a time but eventually he let me in. Once inside his home he insisted I turn around three times one way, then the other. I complied. I walked passed a neat row of chairs and got as far as the kitchen where a column of dishes, arranged according to size, were in the middle of the table. Then he found it all too much and told me to leave. Jack was later admitted to the hospital, which is where we got to know one other. Given our age differences at the time I think it's safe to say Jack will be long gone.
I remember being fascinated by Jack's obsessions and rituals. Jack had previously worked in accounting and the level of detail and attention required in his job seemed to feed its way into his obsessions. Jack first came to our attention following a series of driving accidents. He began to fixate on number combinations that, when added, came to 13. Any vehicle owner unfortunate enough to have that licence plate combination, was quite likely to be bumped. The reason for this was Jack's associated compulsion, which was to close his eyes and count to 13 in order, he said, to counteract the effect.
During his time at the hospital the full extent of Jack's OCD became more apparent. Without going into too much detail it involved umbrella's, the underside of footwear, groups of three people, pouring liquids with the bottle label down rather than up, and a host of others including those commonly associated with OCD such as washing, organizing, listing and grouping. I was quite pleasantly surprised at the tolerance shown to Jack during the first few days after his admission. He would frequently require patients to turn in circles, change hands when drinking from cups or get them to stand in a line. He would also frequently bump into people and knock things over because he was walking around with his eyes closed.
After a couple of weeks Jack seemed more settled. During lunch we were chatting amiably when a visitor walked in and sat down. It was then I realized how sensitized I had become to the things that preoccupied Jack's thoughts. The visitor sat beneath the large wall clock and was leaning on an umbrella. For a moment I saw things through Jack's eyes: it was a perfect storm. It was 1 p.m., so the clock hands pointed to 12+1, there was the umbrella and the legs outstretched showing the soles of his shoes. Jack made a noise and rushed towards his unfortunate victim. My intervention was about as useful as a chocolate teapot. The poor visitor repeatedly stood, sat, and turned in circles, all the time Jack pleading for him to do more. Finally, with a little help from a colleague, we were able to calm the situation.
It's nice to think that our learning should be a happy and fulfilling process but the reality is that we learn in many different ways. This was my introductory lesson to OCD and so much more vivid and emotional than any book could convey. Since then I've come to understand that Jack had some fairly extreme symptoms that didn't seem to respond to intervention. However, this was also during the 1970s when the prognosis for OCD was fairly poor and treatments limited.
I last saw Jack on a Christmas Eve. He was deemed well enough to go home and I remember walking with him along the hospital drive. We said our goodbyes and Jack headed off, touching the latch of every gate he passed and stamping his foot after every thirteenth step. Thankfully, in treatment terms, a lot has changed since then. I only hope that Jack was still around to benefit from the newer treatments and that he eventually found some peace and relief from his symptoms.

Strong west to southwest flow remains in control Saturday, as North Central Florida is sandwiched between a ridge of high pressure to the south and a lingering, but fading, frontal boundary to the north.
For Saturday there will be isolated storms moving through Alachua and Marion counties from west to east; however, most areas in these counties will dry off by 4pm. You can leave the umbrellas at home if you're going to be headed out for Saturday evening.
Sunday and into Monday, a pocket of dry air moves in over North Florida. This significantly reduces rain chances, with just a spotty shower possible Sunday, and almost no rain Monday. Enjoy (and stay cool) because a strong cold front is poised to bring some stormy weather Tuesday, with storm chances returning to their typical values by the end of the week.

This page offers some guidance on what we might do to eat and drink more consciously.
Consider animal welfare
If you are a meat eater always be aware of where the animal has been reared, and ask questions.
Be wary of the 'Freedom Food' label. This means that the animal has a little more room to move but not a great deal and they are still reared in intensive and cramped conditions. Look for outdoor reared and free-range meat instead.
Eat organic
Choose organic whenever you can. Support those farmers who have chosen not to use harmful chemicals on our Earth. It's often hard to seek out organic food in supermarkets, so try an organic food delivery box scheme such as Riverford Organics. Try it and see how you get on. With convenient online ordering and weekly delivery it's really easy, it just needs a little organising.
Eliminate Fluoride
Fluoride is added to our drinking water and is a toxic chemical, a by-product of industrial processes. It has numerous health implications and, most signifncantly relating to spiritual connection, it is believed to accumulate in our pineal gland blocking our third eye. It is also used as a pesticide so that's another reason to go organic. Here is our top three ways to reduce the amount of fluoride you take in:
- Use a fluoride free toothpaste, mouth wash and dental floss. These are readily available online or from your local health food shop
- Fit a water filter to your kitchen sink. There are plenty in the market. We have gone for this reverse osmosis system.
- Eat organic
An ancestral diet
Our choice of nutrition is vitally important to our well being and it isn't wise to blindly trust the advice of the media, government or medical institutions. So many of today's ills are caused by an unsuitable diet made up of processed foods and containing poisions that our bodies are unable to handle.
In addition to choosing outdoor reared meats, free range eggs and sugar free foods it is wise to explore the diet of our ancestors. After all, they lived purely off the land and their physiology was no different to ours. The most current research indicates that grains, whilst enabling the massive population explosion of recent history, are in fact not suitable for human consumption. 10,000 years ago grain wasn't a part of the diet of anyone on earth.
A grain free diet, although not being the easiest to maintain, fits perfectly with our bodies and helps us become the very best we can be. One lifestyle approach which emulates our ancestors is the paleo way. Derived from a pre agricultural way of living, the paleo diet promotes clean, wholesome foods without added chemicals, colourings and additives and advocates a reasonable amount of animal protein to power our bodies.
Although not suitable for vegetarians, the paleo way has a huge impact on the body resulting in fat loss, an increase and balancing of energy levels and a loss of 'brain fog' that can cloud our judgement and drive. Teamed with a small amount of exercise, good sleep patterns and play time the diet is transforming lives.
There are many resources about various paleo approaches but Jason finds the ethics, holistics and advice of Mark Sissons to be particularly inspiring. His book, The Primal Blueprint, is very thought provoking and potentially life-changing.

Sinus Lift, San Diego CA
The maxillary sinuses are behind the cheeks and on top of the upper teeth. Some of the roots of the natural teeth extend up into the maxillary sinuses. When these upper teeth are removed, there is often just a thin wall of bone separating the maxillary sinus and the mouth. Dental implants need bone to hold them in place. When the sinus wall is very thin, it is impossible to place dental implants in this bone. A sinus graft makes it possible for many patients to have dental implants.
The dental implant surgeon enters the sinus from where the upper teeth used to be. The sinus membrane is then lifted upward and bone graft material is inserted into the floor of the sinus (which is the top of the upper jaw). After several months of healing, the bone becomes part of the patients jaw and dental implants can be placed and stabilized in this new sinus bone. If enough bone between the upper jaw ridge and the bottom of the sinus is available to stabilize the implant well, sinus augmentations and implant placement can sometimes be performed as a single procedure.

The Steps in the mold remediation process include:
The next trick to prevent mold is to reduce moisture in your home. Here, it's important to realize that condensation is only one type of moisture and so turning up the heat is only going to protect you from needing mold remediation so much.
Another common source of moisture, for instance, is steam. Steam can be an issue in bathrooms very often for example because we will often have hot showers or hot baths with the doors closed. If you don't have an extractor fan for your bathroom, then once again this is a very savvy investment and one you should certainly consider making.
Likewise, you should also make sure that you think about the steam you create in other ways to prevent mold. A range hood can help to reduce steam produced by boiling water and soup for instance. Likewise, when your run a bath, run the cold water and then the hot water to reduce the amount of time you have hot water standing and steaming in your room.
If you hang clothes out to dry in your house then this is something you might want to consider changing. For instance, look into hanging your clothes outside instead. Likewise, avoid having water standing in glasses around your house or having water standing in the sink. Any standing water can lead to moisture in the air and so mold.
Opening the windows is also something that every mold remediation company will recommend and is also a good way to prevent mold from growing. This will allow cold air to get into your property and as this circulates around your home it will dry off surfaces and it will allow mold spores to move outside.
In fact, it is often the parts of the house that are hidden away from the air – known as 'air pockets' that are the most likely to suffer from mold. For example, if you have heavy curtains, you might find that mold is prone to building up behind those. Likewise, mold can gather behind sofas and arm chairs and it can build up in a host of other similar spots too.
Another trick then is to allow air to circulate through your rooms by pulling the furniture away from the wall a little bit. If you notice mold behind a piece of furniture then this is a tell-tale sign that this is something you need to do.
Thermal Imaging –
Have you ever encountered a situation where you suspect there is something weird going on inside your wall or ceiling? Perhaps a leak within the structure or you suspect there is a cold draft coming in from somewhere but you just can't seem to pinpoint it?
Well with the use of the latest technology, we are now able to identify these problem areas and start seeing the invisible. Water damage Northshore and water damage Providence, RI can be found easier and efficiently using this new method.
This is done through the use of thermal imaging, at one point this technology was very expensive and reserved only for military and government applications. However as this technology progresses it becomes more affordable to apply it to other new industries, in this case, the property restoration industry.
The company we have to thank for this is FLIR. They produce a camera that is a pioneer in the thermal imagining sector and produces the best equipment available today.
Note: thermal imagining readings can be attained without damaging the property, no pins or probes are required therefore there will be no sign of damage to your property.
Also, thermal imaging will also work in areas of total darkness as it is operating on heat differentials it does not need any visible light to operate. This is especially handy when inspecting areas such as attics, crawlspaces, or there are simply no power/lighting available in the property.
How can you prevent water damage Northshore and a water leak? One important tip is to make sure that you get regular maintenance checks for your plumbing, for your roofing and for any other potential areas that might put you at risk. Flat roofs are particularly dangerous because they can cave in when water builds up on top – so make sure a contractor comes round to look at them often.
Likewise, if you're on a flood plain, then look into building up defenses that can protect you in case there should be one. Plumbing is also something that needs regular maintenance and checkups – and if your plumber tells you that your system is old and could do with replacing… don't put it off!

These the purpose of fire damper links is to close the damper door if smoke or debris from a fire begins traveling through duct work.

(Reuters) - Italian MotoGP great Valentino Rossi is set to see out his career with Yamaha after signing a new two year agreement with the works team taking him through to the end of 2016, they announced on Wednesday.
Yamaha hoped the 35-year-old, a nine times world champion with seven titles in grand prix motorcycling's top category, would stay with them for the rest of his racing career.
"We look forward to the next two and a half years together and it is our intention that Valentino will remain with Yamaha until the end of his sporting career and beyond," Yamaha Motor Racing managing director Lin Jarvis said.
"Since his return to Yamaha in 2013 it's been a very positive experience for everybody involved," he added.
"His enjoyment is obvious to all who meet him at the MotoGP events or who see him race on TV and is reflected in his excellent race results this year."
Rossi is enjoying a strong season and is currently second equal in the championship after four second place finishes and five podiums in eight races.
Honda's Spanish MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has been dominant, winning all eight.
"I am very proud of this announcement," said Rossi, who returned to Yamaha in 2013 after a barren two year stint with Ducati.
"It's great because this was my target; I wanted to continue, I am feeling good and I'm motivated to keep giving my best. I am very happy that I can keep riding my YZR-M1."

Extract of Letter from London, dated September 2, 1774.
"I hope the Americans, every Where, will be firm, unanimous, and steady, in Support of their injured and violated Rights and Liberties. The Sword is drawn here, therefore you should throw away the Scabbard. Depend on your internal Strength and Resources, and not on Petitions or Remonstrances; for they are only used to make Kites for the great and little Babies at Kew and Buckingham House. Read attentively the History of James the second's Reign, and then you will have a very perfect idea of the present political System here."
Virginia Gazette (Purdie & Dixon), November 10, 1774
About this entry:
This extract appeared in the edition that reported the resolution passed by the Continental Congress in support of the people of Massachusetts. The letter is an indication of support in Great Britain for the American cause. The reference to James II, a once-popular king who was forced to abdicate in favor of his daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange, suggests that the author is in favor of a similar fate for George III.

"Would you like me to come with you" John asked.
"Why the fuck would I want you to come" Bob asked.

Early luminaries in the Tartar Athletic Program, which dates back to 1927, were inducted into the Tartar Athletics Hall of Fame during the inaugural event in 2011. This year, 12 new members joined a prestigious group that includes Olympic gold medalists Cornelius "Corny" Johnson and Charlie Dumas, as well as pro football hall of fame running back Hugh McElhenny.
The 2012 inductees are:
"The 12 inductees are an accomplished group, who collectively have made tremendous achievements in their respective sports," said Keith Curry, Interim CEO, Compton Community College District. "We're looking forward to celebrating the success of the El Camino College Compton Center Tartar Athletic Program."
Intercollegiate athletics in California's community colleges have a rich history and tradition. Great athletes like Flo Hyman, Jackie Robinson, Warren Moon and Debbie Meyer all started their athletic careers at California community colleges, as well as legendary coaches such as football's Bill Walsh, John Madden and Joe Gibbs. Even the late NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, Tartar Athletics Hall of Fame 2011 inductee, was a California community college alumnus who in 1946 enrolled at the former Compton Community College and worked as the athletic news and sports information director.
Funds raised at the event will support the Tartar Athletic Program at El Camino College Compton Center.

Our Ancestors took great care in smelling, tasting, and thoroughly chewing the foods they ate. One wrong bite of a poisonous berry or mushroom, and they'd be dead! Food was eaten fresh and in season, or fermented or cured with sea salt. Today, so many people are rushing around, eating out of packages. Most of these processed "foods" are void of nutrients, and flavored with addictive taste enhancers leaving people hungry for more and more. People are literally starving their bodies to death, while their fat cells are holding on to the borage of poisons to protect their kidneys and livers from toxic overload. These so called "foods" are combined together with non-food preservatives and chemically composed flavor enhancers to cover up the age and quality of what once was real food.. It's nearly impossible to detect the toxins in these fake foods with the multitude of non-pronouncable ingredients.
Manufacturers are able to get away with packaging low quality foods without properly preparing the nuts and grains because they are all mixed together with artificial flavors and colors, loads of sugar, and unhealthy iodized salt to cover up the rancid, stale ingredients. It's no wonder why so many folks are riddled with allergies, hypertension, and other degenerative diseases. Additionally, children are behaving violently at young ages, and there is an epidemic of Autistic children. It's all related.
Beyond that, processed food is old and dead. The packaging is usually wrapped with cancer causing, estrogen altering BPA to prevent corrosion. Beside that, all the packaging is harmful to the environment. If you need to keep some emergency foods in your car or home, it is possible to find better alternatives that are BPA free, use sea salt, and don't have the infinite shelf life of a Twinkie – it's just not natural! Consider buying a dehydrator and a vaccuum sealer, and make your own fruit leather, properly prepared dried nuts, and jerky. It tastes amazing, is easy to do, and saves you money.
Here are some guidelines on how to cope living in a society where processed foods dominate the grocery stores…..As a rule of thumb, make packaged food, a very small percent of your diet. If you have to ingest it, make sure you read every ingredient. If you can't pronounce it, or don't know what it means – DON'T EAT IT! Here is a printable list of the most common list of food additives and their side effects to post to your pantry. You can bookmark it on your smartphone for when you are shopping.

If you enjoyed that one, then try 'Featherstone' - sweet film clip; watch it to the end!
And if you love them as much as I do, both songs are able to be downloaded free from this page @ Triple J Unearthed.
This music is soothing my mood today. Easy, sweet, comforting and a tad melancholy. The rain clouds are building again outside, casting a grey impending gloom. We have had SO MUCH rain. The crops are a disaster. Trying not to think about it.

In case anyone was wondering, I pulled out another win for NaNo 2012. Yay me! My winning word count was 50,331.
From participating in four NaNos and one Camp NaNo I've learned that each experience is very different from the others. There is absolutely no way to predict how it will go based on how past NaNos went.
This year was really odd for me because while I never truly struggled or suffered complete agony in trying to get my story from head to page, I was also behind for pretty much the entire month. Out of the thirty days in November I was only caught up on word count on five of them.
But at least unlike my Camp NaNo 2011 loss, I was never deeply in the hole. The furthest behind I got was somewhere around 5k words, so it always felt doable, which encouraged me to keep plodding forward. So the lesson learned from this one I guess is to just keep moving and you can surprise yourself.
At 50k words the novel isn't complete. I'd estimate the story is somewhere between one-third to one-half done. Which means there's a lot of work yet still to do if I want to complete the first draft.
This one was the biggest mess I've written, and that's including compared to my first NaNo. That one was a mess structurally because I had no idea what I was doing. This one is a huge mess in terms of the writing, which is all over the place. One of the only things that kept me moving was allowing myself to ramble. A lot.
If I ever complete it and go on to work on a second draft it will require not just cleaning up, deleting, and revising, but a lot of actual rewriting. But that's not as daunting to me as it used to be. The idea of all that work involved used to mentally freak me out and make me want to quit, but I've discovered that I actually enjoy editing. So it doesn't matter to me now nearly as much how messy the first draft is. At least it provides the framework of the story to work on.
So that's been another valuable lesson. Don't worry about what I'm spewing out, as long as the story I wanted to tell is located somewhere in the muck. Anything and everything can be fixed later, but you have to have something to fix in the first place before you can get anywhere.
I haven't written any more on it since the last day of November. My motivation was low this year, so I'm enjoying the break from worrying about word count. But I hope that at some point in the coming months I'll feel inspired enough to get back to it and see if I can get a second complete novel under my belt.
I hope the rest of you who participated this year had a successful NaNo. Even if you didn't make it to 50k, if you wrote some part of a new original novel you accomplished something!

"Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my day, what it is: that I may know how frail I am." Psalm 39:4
Time is a precious treasure and this year especially time has been a most precious resource as the year began with two goals in mind. A first goal was to complete the final editing and publication of a book titled A Grateful Daughter; Buckets of Gratitude Bags of Burdens, a devotional study in gratitude in which was in time a grateful blessing. The second goal was just as intensive as it began with a formal academic study in God's Word and will be in time – a grateful blessing. Without saying, the completion of these goals left a mere fraction of remaining time but the goals have proven worthy. Next time ~
So grateful to draw refreshment in you through your time and treasure from time to time.
~ Amen : Y

Bre here, just stopping by to share a few layouts I have done recently. While I am on a mission to finish some years past Christmas and Holiday pages, I would also really like to stay current on a few of my more recent projects.
On that note, have any of you jumped on the Project Life bandwagon lately?
I have been doing PL for the past few years and I really love the look of it. I tend to be a bit more eclectic when I pocket scrap, using literally dozens of kits on a page. But that would never stop me from using all of Susan's beautiful kits! Though the following few pages may have bits from many designers, I hope you can see how versatile her collections are and how much fun it can be to play with them on multi kit pages!
For last weeks pages I started off with a base of Becky Higgin's Winter cards since I did most of this in the Project Life app, but then I exported my pages to photoshop and added in lots of wonderful goodies from Susan's Shabby Flakes Element Pack :
And here are my pages:
Recognize those adorable flakes and scarves? You can take a peek at my full credits on Susan's Shabby Flakes Pinterest Board Here.
Be sure to follow all of the Raspberry Road Designs Pinterest Boards for lots of inspiration and a great way to browse all of the collections in the shoppe!

The hot July weather returned to my part of the country in the western United States and reminded us all that we are in the full grip of the dog days of summer. A quenching thirst parches our throats and that insatiable desire for an ice cream bar calls our name.
Originally called "I-Scream-Bar", Ice cream bar, or the Eskimo Pie the chocolate bar was invented in Iowa by a pharmacy owner named Chris Nelson who was inspired by a boy Douglas Ressenden who could not decide between candy and ice cream. The first ice cream bar on a stick was created in 1934.
I will keep the introduction short as I included a lot of information on the companies of each bar that I've listed below. And of course a mouth watering description for each.
Thank you to Google Images and Wikipedia for assistance with My Top 10 +1 Favorite Ice Cream Bars. There was some similarities and yet many differences from the founding candy bar product I wrote about here in My Top 10 +1 All Time Favorite Candy Bars post.
+1 Cadbury
As I wrote in my candy bar post that entire chocolate era of discovery and evolution covered about fifty years amongst all of the companies from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. But, we have to go all the way back to 1822 to find the son of a Quaker named John Cadbury in Birmingham, England. The bars are rich, creamy and smooth underneath their chocolately coating. There is Double Fudge, Vanilla and Strawberry flavors just to name a few but my favorite is the delightful Caramel Crunch. The latter offering the rice crispy crunch on the outside and the ooey, gooey caramel in the middle.
10 Klondike
On February 5, 1922 the Youngstown Vindicator in Ohio first posted an advertisement in its newspaper for the silver wrapped ice cream bar with a polar bear on it. It was created in Mansfield, Ohio and named after the Klondike River of Alaska and Canada. Their big selling angle was it being an ice cream bar without a stick. You can enjoy Vanilla, Double Fudge and Neapolitan among many choices. But, mine is the Caramel Pretzel bar that offers a salty, delightful crunchy texture and sugary smooth sweet inside.
9 Haagen-Dazs
It's hard to believe that when Haagen-Dazs launched the business in the Bronx, New York in 1961 that they offered vanilla, chocolate and oddly enough, coffee, as their only three flavors. Ok, for you ice cream brainiacs out there Haagen-Dazs holds the distinction of being one of the only commercial ice cream brands to not use what? Answer in a second. They also separate themselves in unique combo flavors such as vanilla chocolate peanut butter, raspberry and vanilla milk chocolate (that's all one!) and my favorite, salted caramel, just to name a few. The answer to the question: they are the only commercial brand not using stabilizers such as guar gum, xanthan gum or carrageenan. And if you're wondering what flavor you might be able to get guar gum you might want to reconsider. It's ground endosperm of guar beans. Sperm. Giggle.
8 Magnum
The mega power sweets company, British/Dutch Unilever, now owns the Magnum brand. The original bar in 1987 made by Frisko from Aarhus, Denmark consisted of a white or dark chocolate covering with sweet, savory vanilla ice cream hiding ever pleasantly inside. It has now boomed to more flavors and name derivatives over the years than I have digits to count them with. They did a seven deadly sins series and a The Sixties Nine series with names anywhere from Jami Hendrix to John Lemon. The above has sea salt caramel swirled within silky vanilla bean ice cream covered in Belgian Milk Chocolate. My favorite remains the Double Caramel.
7 Twix
The ice cream bars came on the scene after the original Twix candy bars were first produced in 1967 in the United Kingdom. Manufactured by the chocolate conglomerate Mars would explain why I thought the Twix Ice Cream Bar looked a lot like a Snickers Ice Cream Bar. They both come from Mars. I guess I could only really differentiate the two as the Twix had vanilla ice cream inside as the Snickers has peanut butter ice cream. Do a blind test taste on your friends and see if they can tell the difference between the two.
6 Snickers
And ding, ding, ding!! We will just make this a continuation but it in no way takes away how incredible the Twix or Snickers Ice Cream bars are. The original Snickers candy bar was introduced in 1930 and named after a favorite Frank Mars family horse. This is a bigger bar than the standard box filled with 6 bars you find with many other brands and of course more calories. I am of the belief that since I treat myself once in awhile I'm going to go all out and enjoy the best ice cream bars. A bite into one delivers peanuts completely covered in caramel to provide that wonderful crunchy addition to the ice cream and rich chocolate.
5 Butterfinger
The Curtiss Candy Company of Chicago, Illinois brought us the original Butterfinger in 1923 and it's now owned by Nestle. It and the Baby Ruth candy bars were dropped from airplanes in the 20's and 30's as a publicity stunt. I thought the Butterfinger Ice Cream Bar had a more powerful flavor than the actual candy bar. Crunchy bits on the outside and deep, rich vanilla ice cream packed with chunks of Butterfinger candy.
4 Oreo
Take a bar of perfectly white, cold, vanilla ice cream and surround it in Oreo waver bits and you have an amazing ice cream bar. The Oreo Biscuit went through a couple of revisions in the early 1920's and there was even a briefly offered lemon-filled version but it didn't stick around. Currently being made by Mondolez International's Nabisco division it has been the best-selling cookie for nearly 100 years. Originally there was a wreath around the circumference of the wafer and they were sold for 25 cents a pound. Wow, I wish they would bring that version back! Now, it's been formed into an amazing ice cream bar that will please any Oreo fan. There is also an Oreo ice cream sandwich.
3 Milky Way
As you read in my candy bar post you might automatically think that my #1 candy bar would be the same for My Top 10 +1 Favorite Ice Cream Bar list. With its amazing syrupy, caramel oozing out of the thick, rich chocolate ice cream covered with a decadent chocolate coating. The candy bar was created in 1923 by Mars and manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The name came not from a celestial inspiration but from amazing malted milk drink back then. The bars came in two flavors, chocolate and vanilla, in 1926 and sold for a nickel. Again, talk about wanting a retro candy bar to be offered to the consumer even just for a day! This ice cream bar is an amazing delight though not as much quantity as it's competition. And I've heard both likes and dislikes to this suggestion but you can always freeze the actual candy bar in a pinch for a fix. Not quite the same but it's amazing after a brief, very slight thaw.
2 Nestle Crunch
Nestle Crunch came storming on the scene in 1937 and Henri Nestle could never have known 70 years earlier how many delights were to come. Very interestingly enough Nestle, based in Vevey, Switzerland is the largest food company in the world as measured by revenues. The amazing, vanilla ice cream with the sumptuous chocolate coating and sprinkled, crunchy, ricey bites. As a commercial of their's said a few years back for this delight, "You have an excuse to eat it fast." Absolutely! Just watch out for the brain freeze.
1 Drumstick
Ahhh, my crown jewel of ice cream bars since I can remember. I'm soooo smiling right now. And if you're going to say it's not an actual bar because it's in a waffle cone I'm not going to let you be a buzz kill. There are lots of ice cream bars sold by sidewalk vendors and at fairs that are held together by a waffle cone yet still called a bar. So neener, neener. There, not a very adult response but these ice cream bars bring out the kid in all of us!
The true original was discovered on accident by ice cream maker at the 1904 World's Fair in St Louis. He had ran out of bowls to serve his ice cream but a waffle vendor rolled some of his gems into the shape of a cone, gave them to the ice cream maker and wallah that is how history was made. Little did J.C. Parker of The Drumstick Company know in 1928 that he had just invented a lottery winner when he and his brothers added a chocolate coating to the ice cream and sprinkled it with nuts. One of the brothers wives said it looked like a chicken leg and hence the name, 'drumstick'. Cool story, eh?"
I start by taking a deliberate chomp into the dome of the
cone bar to dive right in. The snappy, brittle, delicious chocolate covering fractures and there's frantic maneuvering by my lips and tongue to snatch as many of the little pieces of nuts as possible. As always I have a fail safe and eat mine over a bowl because I'm not a about to waste a single morsel. My immediate goal is to clear off the chocolate to make a clear attack on that gooey, goodness in the middle. I finally arrive at the caramel while at the same time being able to incorporate a bite of the slightly crunchy, somewhat pleasantly, chewy waffle cone. My eyes roll back into my head and I find myself moaning quietly. The frenzy continues but the Drumstick isn't done given out delights. When I arrive at the final bite, in the bottom of its clyinderical cone is a bite of solid milk chocolate inside the last bite of the waffle cone. If there is utopia in an ice cream bar this is it and tops My Top 10 +1 Favorite Ice Cream Bars list.
What is your favorite ice cream bar?

I like the Triple-Chocolate Drumstick, but nothing beats a Klondike bar!!
I'm not much of an ice cream lover, but I like a few that you mentioned…..and of course now I want one.
They dropped butterfinger and baby ruth candy bars out of airplanes in the 20's and 30's? Since they say a penny dropped from the top of the Empire State building could kill a person, this puts a different spin on the phrase "death by chocolate!" I picture people covering theirs heads and running for cover as chocolate bars explode around them, while brave stunt men try to catch them in their teeth only to find their dentures arriving somewhere around their feet. I would think that insurance agents might be sceptical in covering claims of cars being dented by chocolatey goodness. Mothers would tell children not to look up, candy bars could put your eye out. Chiken little would be in his hay day. Newspaper headlines would scream in error that we were under attack from Mars, when it was really the Curtiss Candy company (sorry, I couldn't help myself, that pun just slipped right out).
This post was very educational, I enjoyed it and probably gained wieght just reading it. I'm more of a boring ice cream eater, preferring vanilla ice cream covered in milk chocolate. Before I had kids I got spoiled with Haagen Dazes, now I can only afford generic brands, but I still love it.
All very good choices!
I love any kind of the Drumstick varieties. But my favorite on this list is the Snickers ice cream bar! Those are deadly. I could eat a box of them no problem!
I also enjoy the Fudgecycle and Orange Cream Bars. Yum! They also have a Root Beer float bar!
I've never been a big ice cream fan but I do remember getting a few as a kid and I always chose the Crunch bar.
Great post Mike!
What a great idea for a top ten list. Tough that you had to do the research, but I guess it had to be done —for journalistic reasons 😉
I didn't find this post until January and I'm on the east coast looking at mounds of snow outside my window but these still look yummy.
When I eat Drumstick minis, I deceive myself into thinking I'm really having diet food:-) I can't do that with some of the others!
OMG NUMBER SIX please bring me number six. Ok. So. I hope we can still be friends after I admit this (please????). I'm not a huge chocolate person. I mean I like it and everything but I WAY BETTER like vanilla and caramel. Like way more. And dark chocolate? Gross. I know, it's like I am a four year old when it comes to my tastes in dessert. But that number six feels like they made it for me????
God It's been too many years since I've had a Drumstick. I think the fact that the cone got perfectly soft but not soggy made it an ultimate winner. Like forever. Great minds think alike when it comes to that, my lovely friend.
Now I have an incredible desire to consume an ice cream
Me too and gelato also! 🙂

V-22 Texaco?
According to Marine Corps Times' Dec 28 entry, USMC is going to have an aerial tanker variant of V-22 Osprey as early as 2017.
The image below shows a concept description of the Tanker V-22.
"The V-22 Osprey is getting topped-off with a new capability. An aerial refuelling system is being developed for the tilt-rotor aircraft, turning the cargo and personnel carrier into a tanker that can provide fuel to other aircraft, mid-flight.
"The aerial refueling capability is going to be the next thing," for the Osprey, Maj. Douglas Thumm, the plans officer for the V-22 at Headquarters Marine Corps, said.
The Osprey's tanker system is in the early stages of development and won't be ready until 2017, he said.
When operational, the V-22 could refuel the Corps' fleet of aircraft, including the new F-35B Lightning II. It could also rendezvous with ground vehicles, land, and fill them up, Thumm said. Many of the Corps' ground vehicles can run on aviation fuel, he said..."
The part that is interesting is the aerial-to-ground refueler concept.

If you're a bandwagon fan (you know who you are), now's your last chance to make a choice. But choose wisely. You don't want to choose to suddenly become a "longtime supporter" of one of the four remaining NFL teams only to see them stumble one game short of the Super Bowl.
If you wait until the Super Bowl, you miss out on the two-week hype-fest. If you wait until after the Super Bowl, well, that's just pathetic. To be a bandwagon fan, you're OK with sacrificing a lot of your loyalty and self-respect, but if you care to salvage whatever bit you have left, you have to make a choice now. So, which bandwagon should you latch on to? Here's my guide for you, the lowly bandwagon fan. (2007 Patriots AFC Championship shirts sold separately.)
Pittsburgh Steelers
I live in Pennsylvania, so I know all about the Keystone state's bandwagon fans. And boy do they love the Steelers, especially when they're winning. Just let them tell you about their love of the Steelers. Or don't ask. They'll probably tell you anyway.
Does the prospect of cheering for someone named Big Ben excite you? If you can't spell his last name, that's OK. If you don't know what college he played at, hear someone say "Miami," and think it'd be cool to cheer for someone from The U, then Big Ben and the Steelers are a perfect bandwagon pick.
Want to cheer for someone because of their long-flowing mane? You've got Troy Poly-pola…oh well, you can just call all your players by their first names! Ben, Troy, Willie. Yeah, it's like you're all buddies hanging out together.
Plus, you play in a field named after a ketchup company. That has to whet your appetite as a bandwagon fan. And guess what? You have a receiver named Hines, too! OK, so it's spelled differently and there's really no correlation whatsoever, but Hines at Heinz sounds cool! Maybe you should buy his jersey at Wal-Mart!
Philadelphia Eagles
The team from the eastern part of the state is not quite as popular where I live, but do they ever have a bandwagon buy-in for you?! Beards. Playoff beards are the craze in Philadelphia. So join in the fun and stop shaving. Or, if you're like me and unable to grow a beard on command, buy a fake beard.
Get a Santa Claus beard while you're at it. Wait, scratch that idea. The Eagles fans once booed Santa Claus—even though their current coach is resembling him more and more by the day. But a regular beard will make you as much a part of the team as caveman Kevin Curtis. If you've never heard of Kevin Curtis, you're a perfect candidate to hop aboard the Eagles bandwagon.
For what it's worth, they're being labeled as "this year's Giants," the team that won the Super Bowl last year. Of course, they could also face the fate of this year's Giants and lose an upset to an unsuspecting bird of prey.
Arizona Cardinals
Well, I actually don't know if the Cardinals are birds of prey. But they're birds of pray(er) led by the religious and revived ageless Kurt Warner. You may even have hopped on his bandwagon before with the 1999 St. Louis Rams.
I've maintained for years now that the Cardinals have the smallest national following. As recently as a few months ago, I was asking my brother if he knew a single Cardinals fan. Neither one of us could do so. It may be the only team that I don't know a single fan of.
Be a part of history and join the Cardinals bandwagon. Plenty of good seats are still available. As an added bonus, they're the only team left playing in a warm-weather city. So, if you really want to go all-out as a bandwagon and move to follow them, at least you'll be living in the warmth of Phoenix when they sink back into NFL obscurity.
Baltimore Ravens
If you have any Cleveland Browns fans as friends, I advise you to stay away from this bandwagon choice. The prospect of the Ravens winning a second Super Bowl before the Browns ever play in one is painful even for me, a diehard Raiders fan.
But if you don't have any Cleveland tie-ins, you may want to invest in becoming a Ravens fan. Whether you're a fan of Edgar Allen Poe, the color purple or uninventive offense, the Ravens have you covered.
The Ravens are great for bandwagon fans because you're not supposed to know the names of their offensive players. They're just there to keep the field warm for the defense. And since bandwagon fans are already a demographic that is not looked upon fondly by diehards around the league, you'll have no problem becoming the instant rival of two fanbases—Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
Bandwagon fans of the NFL, the options are there for the taking. As for me, you may have already heard my picks on the podcast earlier this week. If not, here's who I'm taking in the championship games
Pittsburgh over Baltimore
Philadelphia over Arizona
Yes, I'm forecasting an all-Pennsylvania Super Bowl. But don't worry, you won't find me riding either one of those bandwagons. Nope, I'm staying out of it and just hoping for close, competitive games the rest of the way.
(OK, and maybe nudging the Cardinals bandwagon just a bit to keep it's unlikely wheels a-turnin'.

Mary's Picks
- These quilts by Meg Callahan featured on Design Sponge this week are completely amazing. You know I love quilts because they're such a fantastic work of art. This quilt above, entitled Caddo, is stunning and I want it for my bed or just to hang on the wall. Beautiful!
- This 1960s stereo cabinet turned portable party machine is amazing. I still have such a love with old record players to gutting one makes my heart a little sad, but if it's not irreparable then totally understandable. (via Apartment Therapy)
- Cupcakes for two? Yes, please. I'm always wanting to make dessert but with only two of us in the house making 12 servings of something is a no go. So this vanilla cupcake recipe from How Sweet It Is is awesome. I made it the other night. I may or may not have eaten both cupcakes.
Jess's Picks
- Great news! We got the house we wanted! We'll be packing this weekend and moving in next weekend. Everything still feels like a total blur, but at least I know we're moving in to a beautiful, comfortable house.
- One of the things I'm already planning to do is display all of my pretty scarves! I know these aren't scarves, but I think this corner display at Oh Joy! will be great inspiration. Oh Joy! also got a facelift! It's beautiful.
- This deepstorage organizing solutiont IHeart Organizing is also totally inspiring. I'm not sure that I have any deep drawer storage, but it's still pretty great.
