The lily's pictured above were made with the McGill Lily punch..But for those of you who do not have the punch, I created the tutorial using my Heartfelt Creations Lily Petals PreCut Set from the Perfect Petals Collection.
Product List
McGill Lily Punch
McGill Starburst punch
McGill Crystal Punch
McGill's Paper Blossom Tool Kit
McGill CRAFT MOLDING MAT (not shown) a mouse pad will work as well if needed
Black Zig pen
heat tool
Glimmer Mist or color sprays
White Puffy Paint
Adhesive of your choice
Craft mat
If you are using the McGill Punch for the Lily, punch 6 petals of the size you want. In this tutorial , I will use Heartfelt Creations Stamps to show you a different way to achieve the same results. You could also cut your petals freehand as it is a simple shape. Stamp images of leaves. You will need 6 petals per flower.
After your petals are punched or diecut, Spray them with your favorite color mist using a lighter color and paint on a darker color at the base. Air dry, or use a heat gun to dry. If you are using the McGill punch, then you have to add the little dots onto your petals for a more realistic Lily. I just Googled Lily images for design placement and color.
Using a stylus, and circular motions, emboss until your petals curl slightly as shown in the picture.
Holding your petal between tweezers, fold up the petal and pinch the ends together.
Using your tweezers, Grip the sides of the petal and curl each side of the petals back.
Shape the petals by hand and start gluing the petals onto the base. Here I used the crystal punch as the base. But if you have a snowflake punch, you could use that as a base as well.
Glue all 6 petals onto the base to form your Lily.
Outline the flower petals with Puffy Paint. The thicker you put it on, the puffier it will be. For best results, let the paint air dry before you use your heat gun on it to to make the paint puff. Glue your stamen onto the middle of the flower. You can do this after the paint is puffed.
Here is the result of the finished flower after letting the paint dry for 30 minutes before puffing the paint with my heat gun. Be very careful not to burn the paint. Keep your gun moving and dont get to close.

Norman Podhoretz explains Why Are Jews Liberals?
HH: Special hour of the Hugh Hewitt Show, pleased to welcome back to the program Norman Podhoretz, author of many incredibly important books, longtime editor of Commentary Magazine. Most recently, he was here to talk about his bestseller, World War IV and a couple of articles he wrote for Commentary. But he has a brand new book out, Why Are Jews Liberals? And it's by Doubleday, and of course, it's causing a lot of conversation. Norman Podhoretz, welcome back, great to have you on the program.
NP: Well, thanks very much. It's great to be back, Hugh.
HH: Now we're talking two days after the president of the United States gave a speech at the U.N. And I was finishing my notes for this interview as I watched and read that speech, Norman Podhoretz. Would you agree with me it was the most anti-Israel speech ever delivered by a sitting United States president?
NP: Well, it certainly comes close. I mean, Eisenhower made a few speeches that might rival, or at least his secretary of state, John Foster Dulles made a few statements that might rival Obama's, but I won't quarrel intensely with you over your characterization. I think he is certainly more hostile to Israel than any previous president, again except maybe for Jimmy Carter in his post-presidential phase.
HH: Right, that is detailed in your book, and Carter's policy during his time in office, very hostile to Israel. But I was at my law school today, and I found a friend of mine, he's a liberal, Jewish-American, very talented guy…
NP: You still have liberal friends, Hugh?
HH: Oh, of course. Of course. They're just wrong. They're not rotten.
NP: (laughing)
HH: And I was engaging him, because he's a staunch defender of Israel, been there many times, and I asked him for his opinion. He didn't like the speech much. But you know what, Norman? It's the story of your book. I don't think he's moved an inch in his underlying theory of Obama or the left in America.
NP: Right. Well, the theory of my book is that liberalism has become much more than a political position for most American Jews, 78% of whom, by the way, voted for Obama in 2008, despite the fact that they had every reason to believe he would be hostile to Israel because of his long association with enemies of Israel like the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Rashid Khalidi and Bill Ayers. It's become much more than a political position, and what I try to demonstrate is that liberalism has, for all practical purposes, become the religion of most American Jews, and superseded Judaism as their, what I call, Torah. It has its own commandments and its own dogmas. And whenever these conflict, as they do at many points with the Torah of Judaism, it's the torah of liberalism that prevails.
HH: And I quote from the end of the book, "To this new torah they grew as stubbornly attached both out of conviction as a matter of honor, as their fathers and grandfathers had been to the Torah of Judaism itself." We'll get there, but I'm curious before we launch into the three eras of sort of Jewish emancipation and the reaction, the three puzzles…
NP: Yeah.
HH: Before we do the book, and I really want to make sure we put the hook out there, at this time, are you as concerned as you have ever been about the future of Israel, and of worldwide Jewry as you have often talked about like in World War IV? Is it getting worse?
NP: I'm more concerned than I've ever been, because it's entirely possible, in fact likely, that Iran will get the Bomb. And if Iran does get the Bomb, I think this would set the stage for, almost inevitably, for a nuclear exchange with Israel, because once they have the Bomb, having threatened a million times to wipe Israel off the map, the Israelis have to sit there and ask themselves do we wait for him to strike us, and after we're mostly destroyed, hit him with a second strike? Or do we preempt? And the Iranians are going to be thinking the same thing. And one or the other is going to try to beat the other to the punch. We haven't had a hair trigger situation like that since the invention of nuclear weapons. And I fear very much that we're headed toward such a situation, and of course, it can only bring calamity, and not just to Israel, but to the region, and very likely to the rest of the world.
HH: And Norman Podhoretz, given that backdrop, and I believe everything you just said in capital letters about where we are, the precipice upon which we find ourselves, because of the reasons you just articulated so succinctly. Given that backdrop, do you think that American Jews will move off of their torah, because honor in this instance isn't going to stand between that and the destruction of the state of Israel.
NP: Well, I certainly hope so, and I think, I actually see a few faint signs of buyer's remorse in some segments of the Jewish, of the liberal Jewish community. And you know, Hugh, Jews have had a lot of experience with false messiahs over the centuries. And every time one of these messiahs is exposed as false, the trauma has led to a deep reassessment of their attitudes and ideas. And I'm hoping something like that will happen as Obama, the first non-Jewish false messiah, gets more and more exposed as a fraud. And that could lead to a reassessment, a rethinking of the assumptions and the commitments that American Jews have so stubbornly held onto.
HH: Now Why Are Jews Liberals?, the new book by Norman Podhoretz, came out before you could actually quote Zbigniew Brzezinski, though he's in the book on three places, before you could quote him suggesting that America might have to shoot down IDF planes headed towards Iran. But how do you assess such a stark and stunning turnabout on the part of one of the leading members of the American foreign policy establishment?
NP: Well, it's not so great a turnabout as you suggest, Hugh. I mean, Brzezinski has a long history of hostility to Israel, and he's one of these so-called realists who entertains the wildly unrealistic idea that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the key to everything in the Middle East, the source of all the troubles in the Middle East. If you could resolve that conflict, then everything would fall into place, and all the lions would lie down with all the lambs. I mean, this is a totally irrational assessment, because there have been something like 22 wars in the Middle East since the establishment of Israel that had nothing to do with Israel at all. And many, many more lives have been lost in those wars than in all the wars between Israel and the Palestinians or the Arab states altogether. I mean, something, at least a million were killed in the Iran-Iraq war, in which Israel played no part, for example, whatsoever. So Brzezinski has that view, and he's long been cold toward Israel. He's long blamed Israel for everything that goes wrong in the Middle East, and maybe in the rest of the world as well. But he's never gone so far as to suggest that the United States ought to shoot down, to shoot down Israeli planes and make war on Israel. This is a wholly new stage.
HH: And as the president's U.N. speech was a different in kind speech, Brzezinski's statement's a wholly new stage. I wonder about, when you write about 2008 in Why Are Jews Liberals?, you write "300 rabbis issues a statement all but declaring Obama to be a successor to the Hebrew prophets. A few well-known champions of Israel wrote articles explaining on rather convoluted grounds why they were backing him." You cite Dershowitz, you cite Martin Peretz, you cite Martin Indyk, you talk about Sarah Silverman. Do you think these 300 rabbis and the assorted highbrows are having the kind of buyer's remorse you see among others? Do you think anyone is willing to step up at this critical moment and break ranks as you had to break ranks, as the title of your autobiography put it many years ago?
NP: Yeah, well Marty Peretz has certainly expressed buyer's remorse, and he has already broken ranks. He's written some very tough stuff about Obama, and not just in connection with Israel. I mean, virtually the day after he endorsed and voted for Obama, he decided Obama was bad news. Alan Dershowitz, on the other hand, has indignantly denied that he feels buyer's remorse, but I suspect that this won't last very long. It's going to be harder and harder to maintain the position that he has had, because he, Dershowitz is a very, very passionate supporter of Israel. And it's going to, he's going to run into a real conflict very soon.
HH: Have you heard from them yet on Why Are Jews Liberals? Any of your, the people that you…
NP: No, but I mean, I have heard from Marty Peretz' colleague, the literary editor of the New Republic, who wrote a hysterical screed on the front page of the New York Times book review a week or so ago. I would assume that Peretz doesn't agree with it, or for all I know, he does. But in any case, on the sacred principle of guilt by association, I ought to assume that he's against the book, too.
– – – –
HH: Norman Podhoretz, this book is different. You know, I blew through World War IV, I read Breaking Ranks like it was, you know, cotton candy at the fair. This is a difficult book, and I had to postpone this interview a couple of times, because I was reading it slowly. And it's not hard to read, I loved it, but it took a lot to take it in. I read Paul Johnson's History Of The Jews a long time ago, but this is a serious work of scholarship. Is this different in kind than the sort of combination polemic and argument that you've made before?
NP: I don't think it's different in kind. I mean, there is, rather more research was involved for me here than I usually need to do in writing a book. So to that extent, it is different. But the book is characteristic of some of my others, in that it is a combination of analysis, polemic, and personal experience, you know, memoiristic. So that mélange, which is unusual in the world of literature in general, is pretty much my personal stamp.
HH: I very much enjoy the personal and the analysis. I want to come to that. But first, I want to give the listener a sort of signal of what's ahead. In covering the three eras of sort of Jewish advance followed by reaction through history, give us the thumbnail so people understand that they're going to be getting a history of why the Jews became liberal, not just okay, here's the here and now.
NP: Yeah, well, the whole first section of the book, about half of it, is devoted to explaining why the Jews became liberals. And I begin very far back with the birth of Christianity out of the womb of Judaism. And I trace the involvement of Jews, and the evolution of their political attitudes, over the centuries by demonstrating that the forces that tended to support the emancipation of the Jews, which means the granting of civil liberty, civil rights, equal rights to Jews that they had been denied for, you know, throughout the early years of the Christian era and throughout the Middle Ages. The forces that favored emancipation were on what we today would call the left, the moderate left, the far left, but the left. Whereas the forces that opposed Jewish emancipation were almost always on the right. They're what used to be called the alliance of altar and throne. And it was particularly in the churches, the Catholic Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, and after the Protestant Reformation, both the Lutheran and Calvinist churches, all of which were blatantly, I think you would have to put it brutally, anti-Semitic to one degree or another, and sometimes to an incredible degree. So to the point where it was natural and justified for Jews to consider that churches their sworn enemy, and also to consider the parties of the right, supporters of what they called in the 18th Century the ancient regime, the old aristocratic monarchical regime as another sworn enemy. So when you get all the way through up to, let's say, 1880, when something like two and a half million Jews poured into the United States from East Europe, between 1880 and 1924, those Jews were the ancestors of the vast majority of Jews who live in America today. And they brought those attitudes over with them from Europe and to the United States. And what they found here were forces that seemed to them to correspond with those in Europe. In other words, the Democrats and liberals were like the forces of the left that had been sympathetic to Jewish interest and Jewish rights. That was the Democratic Party and the liberal community generally. And the forces that corresponded, or an American equivalent to those on the right in Europe, were found in the Republican Party and on the right, generally. And this led to a revulsion against the Republican Party and the conservative community in general to the point where no one would, up to roughly fifty years ago, no one would have asked the question why are Jews liberals, because the answer would have seemed self-evident.
HH: Yeah, I laughed out loud when you cited perhaps my favorite writer of fiction working today, Joseph Epstein, had never met a Jewish Republican until he was, what, 25?
NP: Yeah, well I, myself, not just a Jewish Republican, a Republican. I mean, I myself never laid eyes on a Republican until I got to high school growing up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. And this high school teacher was really an exotic species. I mean, there were no Republicans. You know, the right wing of that world was the Democratic Party.
HH: Yeah, I must say…
NP: Anything to the right of the Democratic Party was off the radar.
HH: I had always known as a practicing Christian about the history of anti-Semitism within the Church. But I want to compliment you on both laying it out, but also moving through it quickly. It doesn't become, it's not the purpose of your book to put into Christians guilt about anti-Semitism. I summarize, though, Page 41, "assuming as I do," you write, "that all animals including humans are equipped by nature with an instinct for telling the difference between friends and enemies. It can be said that the Jewish fear and distrust of Christianity was both healthy, that is based on the promptings of instincts, and rational, that it is consistent with a long and bitter accumulation of empirical evidence."
NP: Yeah.
HH: That's really, that's just objectively true.
NP: Yeah, well, and what's also objectively true is that a great change has taken place since 1967. There was a great and unexpected reversal of roles between left and right with respect to Jewish concerns, but especially to Israel. After 1967, after the Six Day War of 1967, the left, both in this country and in the rest of the world, which had been pro-Israel up to that point, turned and became increasingly hostile to Israel, and sympathetic to its enemies, the Palestinians and the surrounding Arab states, while the right, and especially the Christian churches, and especially the fundamentalists and Evangelical sectors of the Protestant world, became increasingly sympathetic to Israel. This was an enormous change, and although it was not all that clearly visible at first, it was pretty visible to me. It's become so, so blatantly obvious today, that most people who pay any attention to these matters at all know that the single most pro-Israel sector of the American population is the conservative, or the religious right as it's called, mainly made up of conservative, Protestant Christians. Even more, they're even more supportive of Israel by now than the American Jewish community. And yet, and yet, just as I said that it made sense for Jews to regard Christianity as their enemy in the past, it makes sense for Jews to regard Christian churches today as their friend.
– – – – –
HH: Norman Podhoretz, to keep borrowing from the language of evolutionary biology here for a moment, in the last segment, we talked about why Jews evolved into liberals. But if we use that adaptation analogy, they've got an enormous eye for enemies on the right that is founded deeply in history. But somehow, natural selection left out the ability for them to see anti-Semitism on the left, and you detail, it's not just modern leftists, it's Voltaire, it's Marx. It's not new. These are the three great puzzles, the blindness within American Jewry, perhaps not in Israel, but in American Jewry, to see this threat. Why is that?
NP: Well, I try to answer that question by tracing the evolution of Jewish political attitudes from political preferences or associations, into what I call, seriously call, a religion in its own right. And you can only fully understand the force of that statement by following the history, by following the evolution. And the fact is, just as I said earlier in the book and in the earlier segment, that it was rational at a certain point for Jews to regard Christians as their enemy. It is now irrational for Jews to regard Christians as their enemy. And yet Jews have been unable or unwilling to open their eyes to this new reality. Why? Well, people, it's not uncommon for people, you know, armies, generals, to fight the last war.
HH: The guns of Singapore, yeah.
NP: Yeah, and the guns of Singapore is a great image, because they were in place facing the direction from which the island had last been invaded, so what the Japanese did in 1940 is simply invade from the other side. And the guns of Singapore becomes a good metaphor for fighting the last war, instead of the war that you're in at the moment. And this is a not uncommon phenomenon, and Jews sort of fighting the war where the enemy was last seen on the right, and of course, in the person of Hitler, who represented the consummation, you might say, of the hostility, murderous hostility toward Jews that had been building for all those centuries. So…but the fact of the matter is that it is the last war, and the current war is very much with the left. And the allies of Jews in this war are on the right, and especially in the Protestant and fundamentalist, Evangelical churches.
HH: Yeah, it's a two front war, though, Norman Podhoretz. On the left, of course, the intellectuals in whom the anti-Semitism, I think it's Santillana who said you could smell it in the room, not Santillana, but it was Herman Wouk who said it about Santillana, you could smell it in the room when you came in, but also, fundamentalist, radical Islam. I mean, it's a two front war that's very, very difficult to wage, much less win.
NP: Yeah, well, fundamentalist Islam is not a problem to most Jews, frankly. I mean, they know that fundamentalist Islam is an enemy. I don't know that there's much they do about it, but at least they know it. There's very few Jews who will side with or try to justify the ideas or the actions of fundamentalist Islam. But they are relentlessly unwilling to acknowledge the change that's taken place in the Christian world.
HH: Is there an event out there that could be the Dreyfus Affair for American Jewry in the way that you write, I mean very succinctly, but I think very powerfully, about the trauma of Dreyfus to the French and to European Jewry?
NP: Yeah, well, I believe that only a trauma is going to shake most Jews loose from this commitment not only to the Democratic Party as a party, but to whatever happens to be on the liberal agenda at the moment. Jews are the most passionate liberals in America, more than any other group, whether you measure it by ethnicity or by religion, or by socioeconomic conditions as demographic factors. Jews support all the items on the liberal agenda much more heavily than anybody else. And they voted for Obama much more heavily than anyone except blacks. The Jewish vote for Obama was much, 78%, much higher than the white vote in general, much higher than the Protestant vote, much higher than the Catholic vote, much higher even than the Hispanic vote.
HH: Yeah, it's stunning.
– – – –
HH: Norman Podhoretz, I want to switch to the memoir part. I remember this vaguely from Breaking Ranks, but it came out so long ago that I had to be reminded of it, and it's the role of the New York teacher's strike of 1968. And of course, I'm eight years old at the time, so I don't really know what's going on. But I found it fascinating. In fact, I think there's a book in there somewhere, unless someone's already written it. Has that ever been chronicled in detail, because wow, what a collision that represents.
NP: You know, I'm pretty sure there's a book or two, but I can't remember. I'm getting old, you know, I'm nearly 80 years old. But do you want me to rehearse…
HH: Yeah, tell the audience, because I'm sure they don't know about this.
NP: Yeah, well, in 1967, the New York teacher's union went on strike against the city, because what had happened was that the city administration under Mayor John Lindsay supported very much by the establishment of the city, particularly the Ford Foundation, then headed by McGeorge Bundy, who had come fresh from the Kennedy-Johnson administration, and had been one of the main proponents of the Vietnam War before he turned against it. Okay, anyway, they had dreamed up in collaboration with some black nationalist radicals a scheme whereby black teachers, administrators and principals would be promoted in defiance of the seniority rules which were in the contract of the city with the union. It was what we would later come to call an affirmative action program. Now the Jewish teachers, the New York teachers union was not a Jewish organization, but many teachers who belonged to that union were Jewish. And the black radicals, hated by the liberal media, immediately turned this into a black-Jewish confrontation, which it wasn't. It was much more like a labor dispute with management. But they did, and the consequence was that for the first time in twenty years, that is the first time since the end of World War II, when there had been a taboo against the open expression of anti-Semitism, largely because of the Holocaust, the Holocaust had taught people that even casual anti-Semitism could lead to the ovens of Auschwitz. So it was simply ruled out of public discourse. And for the first time in twenty years, you began getting openly anti-Semitic statements made, and almost entirely by blacks, who…and there was a strain of anti-Semitism in the black nationalist tradition in any case. But out it came, very ugly. And you know, if it had been anybody else other than blacks who could claim superior victimization to Jews at that point, they would have been ruled out, in effect, of polite society. But instead of being penalized by being in effect excommunicated, they were all given grants by the Ford Foundation on the theory that they represented the authentic voice of the oppressed blacks of the city. So this, it was eventually resolved in a complicated way, this strike, but the detritus of it was that the taboo that the black-Jewish alliance, which had been very solid up to that point, Jews had been the leading white supporters of the civil rights movement, that alliance was shattered. And anti-Semitism was allowed to sneak back into American public discourse, and it's gotten worse and worse ever since.
HH: It's been forty years since then, and it's really the genie that's out of the bottle.
NP: Yeah.
HH: …the evil genie that's out of the bottle. But while it's well recognized whenever the hint of anti-Semitism, and your chapter on Pat Buchanan and William F. Buckley, and Buckley sort of distancing, not distancing, fascinating stuff, the left is quick to denounce and demand accountability. But it seems to sail by not just among Jews, but among media generally, Norman Podhoretz.
NP: Well, that's true, and we know that there's an egregious double standard on the left, and it extends to almost every issues you can think of. I mean, you know, if a Republican congressman shouts you lie to Obama, you know, the walls of Jericho come tumbling down. And you'd think that the world had virtually come to an end. And they've forgotten about the million times during the eight years of George W. Bush in which he was not only called a liar, but compared to Hitler, and his assassination was advocated. And the…I remember Dick Durbin, the number two Senator in the Democratic Party, comparing, saying something like the gulag is back in business under new management, and so on. But that double standard extends in general to, and lately, beginning to be extended to Israel.
HH: I'll be right back with Norman Podhoretz. He is my guest. His brand new book is Why Are Jews Liberals? It is published by Doubleday. Norman, in terms of the Commentary Magazine which you headed for so long, now headed by my friend and your very able son, John Podhoretz, do you think the American Jewish Committee regrets that it turned loose the magazine first under your editorial control, and then under Neil's, and now John's?
NP: You know, the American Jewish Committee, I have to say, although a liberal organization, moderate liberal, was, allowed Commentary complete editorial independence, in spite of the fact that Commentary took positions that were at variance with the committee's point of view and philosophy. But they've, except for some members of the committee who were always unhappy and wanted to cut Commentary loose, but mostly, they were proud of Commentary, because it was considered both intellectually distinguished and intellectual. Of course, there has been a divorce since I left, and the magazine is no longer published by the American Jewish Committee. But there were those who considered the magazine, oddly enough, the jewel in the AJC's crown.
– – – –
HH: Norman Podhoretz, a week ago, Irving Kristol passed away, one of the great defenders of the American exceptionalism and one of the great examples of an American Jew who switched in mid stream as you did, to come to view the American right as not the enemy of American Jewry. Are there, is there a replenishment, in your view, of the intellectual capital of conservatives who also happen to be Jewish in America? Obviously, I mentioned my friend, your son, John Podhoretz, but generally, is there a new neoconservatism powered by, at least in part, a new set of Jewish-American intellectuals out there?
NP: Yeah, I mean, there's Irving Kristol's son, Bill, who is the editor of the Weekly Standard in addition to my son, John, who actually helped found the Weekly Standard with Bill Kristol. And there are any number of intellectuals who I think have a lot of firepower, although they're often invidiously compared with the generation of Irving Kristol and my own generation, which was, I was ten years younger than Irving, although people often thought we were the same person. But yeah, I mean, you've got neoconservatives, self-identified neoconservatives like Robert Kagan, Fred Kagan, David Frum, they don't all agree with one another, but they're all very smart and very well informed. They tend to be more policy wonkish than we were. We were much more ideologically inclined, as we were sort of fighting the war of ideas rather than…
HH: But Bill and John were sort of raised on rationalism, that they come from families and from an intellectual milieu which had already made the break. Do you seen anyone making the break on the left now who can fill the same sort of role that you and Irving Kristol and others did in having crossed over and having broken ranks? Is there anyone out there like that?
NP: Well, I don't see much movement from left to right among Jewish intellectuals nowadays. The people I named, the young people I named were to the manner born, so they're not, strictly speaking, neoconservatives, new conservatives.
HH: Right.
NP: And actually, there's been something of a movement from right to left in the last few years, although I think that's going to be petering out a bit as the Obama administration continues to fail. But I do believe that the tradition that Irving Kristol represented, and then I tried to carry forward into the area of foreign policy, he was mainly, to begin with, concerned with domestic issues. I think that tradition is very much alive, and it will continue to have influence and impact in American political culture.
HH: So we hope. Always a pleasure, Norman Podhoretz, the brand new book, Why Are Jews Liberals?, in bookstores now, linked at Hughhewitt.com.
End of interview.

I'd hoped to start my round of book-ish events at this year's Curious Arts Festival on Friday, with Rachel Joyce, but our late arrival due to traffic delays put paid to that, and so I had to wait till the next day, and Joanna Trollope's event. She's one of those authors frequently referred to as a house-hold name, and most of us will have read at least one of her books or seen TV adaptations of them - along with others of my age, I probably 'discovered' her through Ch 4's The Rector's Wife back in 1994. In her long career she's written twenty novels as Joanna Trollope, and more under the pseudonym of Caroline Harvey.
On Saturday, she was talking to Rowan Pelling about her latest novel, City of Friends - the story of four women, firm friends from their university days, who by chance rather than design studied economics and went on to have jobs in the finance sector, and specifically of Stacey, who, as the book opens, has just lost her job at a top private equity firm.
Asked why she chose to write a novel centring on the 'work' aspect of women's lives, Trollope replied that there have been endless novels about women and relationships, women and family, women and sex, women and children, but the relationship between women and work hasn't been explored anything like as much. She then chose that the 'work' in question should be that of finance as this is still seen as a male bastion, and placed her characters in management consultancy, private equity and banks.
During her research for City of Friends, Trollope spoke to many women working in Canary Wharf, in positions similar to those of her characters, and came to believe that there's only really space for one career-minded person in a marriage, and echoed an assumption that many of us have encountered - that no matter who is the major breadwinner in a family, dealing with the 'human' problems of children or ageing parents is the responsibility of women. She also feels that the dream of having it all - high-powered job, loving husband, lovely home, adoring kids - is basically just that, a dream, a modern fairy tale to replace the one of marrying a prince and living happy ever after in a castle.
In writing her characters, Trollope hopes to recreate that friend you have, who most of the time you'll agree, and get on well, with, but at others they'll irritate you beyond imagining. So, while she agrees at times with things they say or actions they take, she definitely doesn't agree with everything they say or do; in fact. it's necessary for a character to at times behave in ways she doesn't approve of, as they must above all be true to themselves, otherwise they lose credibility.
In answer to the 'how do you start a new story', Trollope explained that she starts with a theme - this time, as mentioned above, it's that of the relationship between women and their work - then adds in the characters. As regards structuring the book, she plans the first quarter, and knows how the story will end, but in between events are allowed to develop as they will, within reason.
I thought it was a particularly interesting author talk, raising matters of equality, feminism, and our attitudes towards career women which stretched far beyond the boundaries of the novel itself.

Destiny didn't quite bring them together, but Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan are destined to be in for an incredible fight when they defend their newly-captured titles against former champions Cesaro & Sheamus at Royal Rumble.
Following the injury to Seth Rollins' Shield brother-in-arms Dean Ambrose, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle chose his son Jason Jordan as The Architect's new tag team partner, and perhaps no one could have predicted that the makeshift pair would immediately take down The Bar for Team Red's tag team crowns on a special Christmas night edition of Monday Night Raw. That miraculous victory didn't exactly go all the way in uniting Rollins and Jordan, however, as the two Superstars have somewhat struggled to gel ever since becoming champions, despite continuing to fend off The Swiss Cyborg and The Celtic Warrior.
However, with a title rematch against Cesaro & Sheamus at Royal Rumble on the horizon, can Rollins & Jordan find the rhythm they need to carry on as Raw Tag Team Champions? Or, will the trust and experience between The Swiss Cyborg and The Celtic Warrior carry them back into the championship circle?
Find out when the Raw Tag Team Titles are defended at Royal Rumble, streaming live on WWE Network on Sunday, Jan. 28, at a special start time of 7 ET/4 PT.

RSL's form has been improving over the last few weeks and peaking at the right time is what it is all about in MLS. With wins over FC Dallas, Colorado and Chicago at home last month we saw what we knew RSL was capable of, domination over weaker opponents, fighting hard against quality opponents and defeating rivals.
Wednesday night I believe RSL's biggest match of the rest of the regular season will happen at Rio Tinto as they play host to the LA Galaxy. RSL and LA both have played 27 matches and both teams have 43 points from those matches, both would love to finish in the top 2 in the West and avoid a playoff first round match. LA won their first match in over a month this weekend with a 2-1 win over the Columbus Crew, to be fair it was a solid win but like RSL's win over Chicago last month it was an expected win.
For RSL we may be getting LA at a time they are ripe for the picking with Van Damme, Gerrard on short term injuries and unlikely to play, Gyazi Zardes out for the season and Robbie Keane a question mark after he made his farewell from international duty with Ireland last week. Still as RSL has seen almost any lineup that Bruce Arena puts out is dangerous and with weapons still like Lletget, dos Santos, Boateng and Mike Magee, this is a team that can score a lot of goals and a defense that is only giving up 1 per match.
I know I am one of the few fans who consider LA our greatest rivals, given our history with them in the playoff and the fact that despite the occasional blowout the two teams almost always put on a great show when facing each other. LA holds a 1 match lead in regular season matches where they have 13 wins to RSL's 12 with the two sides drawing against each other 7 times. At home RSL has been dominant with a 6-3-6 record and a 26 to 19 goal advantage. RSL will be looking to make amends for the early season 5-2 disaster back in April, a match in which RSL scored first but couldn't close the door on their opponents. This year is a real anomaly with RSL having just 6 wins from the 12 matches in which they scored first, but also having 6 wins from the 14 matches in which they gave up the first goal. Which RSL will we see on Wednesday night?

Businesses today are accumulating more data than ever before with the need to be able to access and analyse it around the clock. Those that are naturally risk averse and less likely to spin up a new cloud service to address a resource issue and are turning towards more robust private data centre solutions.
With traditional three-tier data centre architecture reaching the end of its useful life, what are the top five benefits of next generation architecture?
1. Complete flexibility
Next generation data centres overcome the limitations of a physical server rack and geographical location boundaries, so that you can get complete flexibility from any data centre. Workloads are not tied to any specific server, rack or data centre – virtual machines can be moved anywhere you want. This is the same technology stack that powers hyperscale cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS). In previous data centre architectures, virtual machines had to remain in their original place in the data centre unless fragile workarounds were put in place to move them.
2. Smarter network scaling
In older data centre architectures, if you needed better performance you couldn't simply scale out the network if you needed to scale the data centre; you would need to scale up. With next generation data centres, you are able to add more network switches to get more bandwidth.
3. Workload mobility
Workloads can easily be shared across multiple servers, nodes or data centres. For example, a major imaging application could be running in data centres in Melbourne and Sydney at the same time, sharing workload depending on where the most resources are available.
4. Centralised management
Automated provisioning and management removes most of the manual work that network engineers need to do today to reconfigure networks.
5. Effortless service chaining
Applications today typically rely on a chain of other applications – load balancers, firewalls, and so on. Previously, this had to be carefully manually configured. In VXLAN's software defined network, applications can be inserted into a chain on the fly to live virtual machines, or even automatically included in the chain based on the traffic type and source/destination.

Peaceful - It is time for a new challenge at The Sweet Pea Stampers!! This fortnight we are making sympathy projects.
My DP are Teresa Collins, Stationery Noted pad
I used this beautiful Sweet Pea image, that is by Katerina Koukiotis, called Easter Blessing. I love when you can take an image designed to be for an occasion and make it for another occasion. Isn't this sweet angel just beautiful? I love the serenity on her face.
I colored her with Copics and added some Stickles to the clouds, her wings and flowers in her hair. She is available in digi at Sweet Pea Stamps.
I tied the ribbon with my Bow Easy and then added a stick pin from a swap that participated in.
My finishing touch was 3 red pearls.

FDA invites comments on blood donor deferral policy
Congressman Brian Higgins, D-NY-26, announced a step toward the goal of a change in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration policy banning gay blood donations.
On Thursday, the FDA opened a public docket to allow for comments on its current blood donor deferral policy for gay men. Written or electronic comments will be accepted through Nov. 25. For more information, visit https://federalregister.gov/a/2016-17804.
In the early 1980s, the FDA instituted a policy creating a lifetime ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men. In December, the FDA updated its guidance from a total deferral to one requiring 12-months of abstinence for gay men prior to donations.
Higgins, a member of the congressional LGBT equality caucus, has pushed for change. He said, "The FDA rule on blood donations is antiquated and prejudicial. This action by the FDA signals that the agency is willing to listen and move toward a policy based on science rather than sexual orientation."
In December of 2014, Higgins and other members called on the secretary of health and human services to change blood donation criteria. Late last year, the congressman joined "Blood is Blood" and the Pride Center of WNY for a local rally against the FDA rule. Most recently, he was among those calling for the FDA to change its policy in a letter and on Capitol Hill, following the tragedy in Orlando.

The Minoru Jacket Sew-a-Long that I've mentioned a few times starts TODAY over at Sewaholic.I have been chomping at the bit for this to start ever since I received my pattern in the mail back in late November. Buuuuuut, I left it to the last minute to select my fabric, and as a result didn't make it to the store this weekend and am as such currently sans fabric to cut out tonight. I'm so sad that I'm not able to start with everyone else! The earliest I'll be able to get to the fabric store this week is Thursday, then I've got to wash, iron and press everyone, so I'm looking at a Friday evening start at the earliest. This means I'll be almost a week behind, right out the gate. Blast!
Hopefully, I will be able to make up for lost time this weekend and early next week, as I've got a few days off. Fingers crossed! The great news is that since the SAL will probably take almost a month, I should be able to keep up if I use my days off to play catch up.
Some exciting news to share in the realm of my sewing studio (which is still not fully decorated or set up, really need to get cracking on that) – Boyfriend Smash bought me a NEW NEW NEW NEW machine for Christmas!!!! Complete and utter surprise, and excellent move by him :)
It's a limited edition Kenmore, and it's sleek and slender with a touch of pink. Photos will be shared as soon as the studio has been righted from its post-Christmas hurricane.
I'm excited but a bit nervous to work on a machine that was actually made this decade. Yes, I haven't used it yet. For shame! I know. Would you believe I haven't had time to sit down and tinker with it yet? Very sad. However, I'm putting it to use with the Minoru (yeah, that's right, I'm sewing a jacket with a machine I've never used, I like to live on the edge).
Speaking of sewing garments, I don't believe I'll be reaching my goal of sewing two articles of clothing a month … at least not for January. Things have been very busy with the Smash Knits online shop (not that I'm complaining!) as of late, so that has been taking up a lot of my free time. Good thing it's winter and there are a lot of shows to PVR on TV :)
More to come in that department soon!

But still, thank the Holy Whatever for The Bible because I learned so much and decided that this god isn't for me. Lessons from this amazing show:
1. People from yon before are from Great Britain. Surely, 'twas.
2. God committed multiple acts of ethnic cleansing. When he's pissed, he wipes out whole nations and makes people build an ark (hello, vomit train!).
3. The Devil is Obama. I'm sorry, but you can't plead ignorance on this one. The actor doesn't resemble Obama, but Mark and Roma MADE HIM LOOK LIKE OBAMA. There is no accident here.
4. Eve was hot and so was Jesus. Please, important historical figures can't be hideous.
5. For all period pieces before, say, 700 AD, please act as if you're in your church's Christmas pageant.
6. Poor Sarah's womb is all withered and stale so she tells Abraham that he can boink the servant girl. Thanks to God's IVF, Sarah does get preggo. Love triangles are legit.
7. God is bored and needs more adoration so he tells Abraham to kill his son. NICE! But just at the last minute, God says, "Just kidding!" Kill this lamb instead, that's what I really meant.
8. There's something about the Sodomy Village that pisses off God, so he orders an African American, an Asian man schooled in martial arts, and someone else to fight off the bad people. Little glimpse of Obama as this is happening. Like maybe he's involved. Thank heavens, Abraham the Almost Child Killer is spared.
9. Young Moses wore makeup, but he soon grows up to be Gale Harold's seedy uncle! He fights with his childhood enemy Pharaoh, who is still overusing charcoal around the eyes.
10. Pharaoh gives his son a Gameboy, which ensures his silence for the rest of the show. And then he dies.
That's as far as I got. Maybe I need to read the Bible, which might be a purer translation of God's word.

In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men's underwear.
Julia Child
Since hubby is not working, he does the majority of cooking and dish washing in this household. I appreciate him doing so. Appreciation doesn't mean total acceptance.
He has an annoying habit of putting dirty dishes in the oven. His logic is it hurts no one and gives the illusion of kitchen being clean until he gets to it. His application of this logic, to be honest, has taught me otherwise. Which brings me to Monday evening's meal.
He fixed a lovely meal that included roasted asparagus. I could hear him in the other room, hunting for his favorite spatula that is normally located in a utensil holder on the stove top. Open and close went the cupboards, open and close went the drawers. Blindly feeling around in dish water. A dialogue of "where did I put it?", "I know it's here some where!" and the occasional "have you seen?" tossed my way. After 15 minutes, he gave up the hunt. The asparagus really needed to be taken out of the oven.
How I wish I would have thought to snap a photo of his expression when he looked in the oven. Or a video because his comments regarding his discovery had me close to rolling on the floor with laughter.
I'm pretty sure you have figured out what was baked onto the back oven wall. Once cooled and removed here is his favorite spatula.
I am thinking I should frame this, along with the plastic cutting board he put on a hot burner. Wouldn't they make a lovely arrangement...over the stove.
He's being a good sport and agreed to my posting this. Maybe, just maybe, when underwear shopping I will skip over to the cooking aisles for a spatula.

I attended my first EuroSTAR conference this week and it was very inspirational and a great learning experience. I was reminded of a lot of stuff I had more or less forgotten and I picked up many new ideas that I will try out. Amongst the many talks and workshops there are a few that sticks out. Michael Bolton on Test Framing was very good. I picked up some very useful stuff attending that. Lynn McKee on inspiring passion in your team was excellent. She made a lot of good points and I will remember them and use them. There were some very good keynotes and Rob Sabourin, Anthony Marcano, Dino Petti, Bob Galen were all really good. They all put ideas into my head and I came back with some new ideas to write about. There were others that were inspiring as well. Henrik Andersson och Fredrik Rydberg made great presentations that gave me some new ideas to test. Ajay Balamurugadas was amazing when he presented Weekend Testers.
Perhaps the best thing was the Test Lab. A good place to do the fun stuff, test, and a great place to learn, listen, discuss with some very good testers. I came back from the conference with some good ideas for new posts on the blog and I will start writing this weekend. I might as well walk the walk and do my best to keep my own passion going and write while I still remember why I made those notes and thought of those topics.
Hanging out with some great people was inspiring and a lot of fun! Testing is fun and testers are fun! At least the good ones :)

Trust Me? Book one of The Trust Me? Trilogy by K. E. Osborn
Trust. When do you give it? When do you want it? How do you choose correctly between the options? Once it is broken,how do you ever feel confident enough to trust again? In her debut novel, K. E. Osborn weaves an intriguing and engrossing tale of one woman's voyage of self discovery as she struggles to trust again.
Escaping a controlling,abusive relationship three years before, Jenifer Taylor has retreated from the dating scene. She no longer trusts herself to have good judgement in regards to men, but an unfortunate accident sets the wheels in motion for an life altering change. Suddenly she finds a man who insists he wants a place in her life: a sweet, kind, generous,and sensitive man. Could she let down the guard around her heart to find love and trust again, or would her past failure keep her an unwilling prisoner?
Captivated by the fiery, sassy woman at the accident, Aiden O'Connell felt the stirrings of something completely different from any woman he had ever known, but he had learned to be wary. Women only saw his money, position, and power,but Jennifer was different. She ignored all the trappings of his life and focused solely on him, but her inability to trust provided a definite barrier between them. Besides, there was a lurking evil in his life that could hurt and destroy them. For the first time ever, he knew this was a challenge he had to win because his heart told him she was The One. Would a slow constant pursuit of her bring him his heart's desire that increased with each passing day, or would the secrets in his life suddenly snatch away all his secret dreams?
I enjoyed the way the story unfolded as Jenifer went from a position of trusting no man with her heart to slowly blossoming in Aiden's love and care. Through his own growth and discovery Aiden realized with her love, he could weather any storm. But evil forces behind the scenes wanted to destroy his life, and by association, hers. The mystery and suspense was always evident in the story creating an edgy backdrop.
I really enjoyed the dialogue, especially the texts messages and emails. The camaraderie between the characters was easy to follow and developed naturally. Although there were a few editing problems and sometimes the writing did not seem to flow smoothly, it did not interfere with the story. Pulled in from the beginning, I found myself eagerly turning the pages as the story unfolded.
After such an tearful, intense cliff hanger, I can't wait to read the next book in this trilogy " Love Me?".
Good Read! I would recommend this book to all readers of romance or suspense!
4/5 stars I was given a copy by the author for an honest review.
Did she have the courage to trust again?

Hello and a warm welcome quilt lovers, I have a lovely treat for you today, Sue's eight-years-in-the-making-grandmothers-garden-quilt!
A few months back Sue contacted me to ask if I would quilt her beloved batik grandmothers garden quilt............of course I said yes, I had been watching her progress reports on her blog. So it was all arranged on her recent visit to New Zealand that we meet up for the first time. Even though I have already quilted another one of Sue's quilts - see here, we had never met, only through our blogs and emails.
Sue was keen to have a New Zealand feel to the quilt, the black fabric is a Kiwiana fabric called "Moko", think swirls, punga fronds and ferns.
The 'Moko'-fern-feather is all free hand quilting, I did mark with chalk the spine to get nice curvature.
I used Glide thread in black. The 'pathways' around the flowers have been left un quilted as Sue didn't want dense quilting.
I thought of all my lovely readers and followers as I was quilting the last few flowers and got to thinking you might like to see how I quilted these flowers...........hubby to the rescue! Women are known for multi-tasking, but I haven't mastered quilting and videoing at the same time :-)
For the flowers I used a Gunold Variegated thread, this colour worked well over the rainbow of colours. The singular red toned hexagons I also used a variegated Gunold thread but this time in pinks and reds.
With a black/grey backing fabric and lots of black on the front, Sue wisely chose black batting.
Thank you Sue for letting me loose on your quilt!
Next a few photo's of my recent trip as a helper with a school Duke of Edinburgh - sliver medals group in training for tramping Cape Reinga - Te Paki next year. A great bunch of kids learning life long skills.
|A mock patient with a 'broken leg' being stretchered out!
|Hunkering down in the long grass as the rain does it's thing! The lessons don't stop because it's raining.
|Blindfolded -lesson you must know where everything is in your pack!
A fun few days away, now back to quilting...............lots of variety in the quilting pile! Thanks for stopping by.

"It [glyphosate] kills everything," said Lincoln P. Brower, an entomologist at Sweet Briar College who is also an author of the paper documenting the decline of monarch winter populations in Mexico. "It's like absolute Armageddon for biodiversity over a huge area."
As recently as a decade ago, farms in the Midwest were commonly marred — at least as a farmer would view it — by unruly patches of milkweed amid the neat rows of emerging corn or soybeans.
Not anymore. Fields are now planted with genetically modified corn and soybeans resistant to the herbicide Roundup, (glyphosate) allowing farmers to spray the chemical to eradicate weeds, including milkweed.
And while that sounds like good news for the farmers, a growing number of scientists fear it is imperiling the monarch butterfly, whose spectacular migrations make it one of the most beloved of insects — "the Bambi of the insect world," as an entomologist once put it.
Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed, and their larvae eat it. While the evidence is still preliminary and disputed, experts like Chip Taylor say the growing use of genetically modified crops is threatening the orange-and-black butterfly by depriving it of habitat.
"This milkweed has disappeared from at least 100 million acres of these row crops," said Dr. Taylor, an insect ecologist at the University of Kansas and director of the research and conservation program Monarch Watch. "Your milkweed is virtually gone."
The primary evidence that monarch populations are in decline comes from a new study showing a drop over the last 17 years of the area occupied by monarchs in central Mexico, where many of them spend the winter. The amount of land occupied by the monarchs is thought to be a proxy for their population size.
"This is the first time we have the data that we can analyze statistically that shows there's a downward trend," said Ernest H. Williams, a professor of biology at Hamilton College and an author of the study along with Dr. Taylor and others.
The paper, published online by the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity, attributes the decrease partly to the loss of milkweed from use of "Roundup Ready" crops. Other causes, it says, are the loss of milkweed to land development, illegal logging at the wintering sites in Mexico, and severe weather.

The Referees' Association (The RA) and the RAFA Youth Council (RAFAYC) will play an important role in the National Referee Strategy. This is because their nationwide structure will allow them to supplement The FA's development work and, mainly through local RA groups, will provide important support, guidance and mentoring (both formal and informal). Their work is especially important for new referees, young referees and all referees operating at grass roots.The Football Association National Referee Strategy
The Referees' Association (RA) are mindful that in times of need we sometimes take the welfare of ourselves
and those around us for granted. The RA is able to support you.

One of the key duties of the role of a Referee is to provide the appropriate authorities with a match report, which includes information on any disciplinary action taken against players and/or team officials and any other incidents that occurred before, during or after the match. Other Match Officials may also need submit a misconduct report if misconduct or any other incident has occurred out of the view of the Referee, or to advise the Referee of a Player or Team Official who has used offensive or insulting language and/or gestures.
This e-book will provide essential advice to assist you with submitting your reports to The FA and County FAs, and has a range of videos and downloadable materials to help provide useful examples of best practice.View

Throughout my career The Referees' Association has been a constant source of advice, guidance and support.
Membership of The RA has been an essential part of my development and I struggle to see how any aspiring referee can achieve their goals without the support offered by The RA.
I have been a member of The Referees' Association since my refereeing began in 1999. Being a member has so many different benefits; the opportunity to attend meetings with colleagues and learn from their experiences, a sounding board to ask questions of more experienced referees, the training sessions and guest speakers at branch meetings, not to mention the protection and legal assistance of the RA should it ever be needed.
In my opinion, being a member of The Referees' Association gives any referee a greater chance of success and enjoyment.

It's Judgment Day. Well not actually, it's just that time of year when you start to hear back from colleges. But man oh man can it feel like Judgment Day. The applications are filled out, the essays are written, the fees are paid, and the tears have been shed. Here's our Cliffs Tips list for how to deal with hearing back from colleges.
1. Do not panic – no matter the decision awaiting you in that envelope or email – you will continue breathing regardless of the decision.
2. Before opening your acceptance or rejection letter, make sure you are in a place where you are comfortable to receive either elating or devastating news. In the middle of your school's Friday night football game sitting next to your frenemy? Probably not a great idea.
3. Once you know the decision, have your reaction however you'd like. Want to shout from the rooftops that all of your dreams have come true? Go ahead. You want to smile to yourself and keep it a secret? That's good too. Everyone's reactions will differ.
4. If you are rejected from your dream school, it is completely understandable to be devastated. You do not have to downplay how upset you are. Once the news of the decision has settled, if you still feel as though said college is THE END ALL BE ALL FOR YOU, look into waitlist or other options. Transferring second semester is also a common thing to do.
***How To Keep Friends During College Acceptance Time***
This is a major part of college acceptance time – treat your friends and classmates how you would like to be treated during college acceptance discussions.
-If you are proud of the school you got into – own it. If you are genuinely excited, your friends and classmates will be genuinely excited for you.
-If you did not get into a school you wanted to, it's okay to admit it. You shouldn't disparage a school just because you were not accepted.
-Respect everyone's choices, acceptances, and rejections.
The most important part: regardless of your acceptances, rejections, and waitlists, you are going to make it. Whichever college you end up at, you will attain a fantastic education, make friends, and discover the type of person you are or wish to be.

An international team of scientists, led by a NASA-funded researcher, announced today, they observed a nearby head-on collision of two galaxy clusters. The clusters smashed together thousands of galaxies and trillions of stars. It is one of the most powerful events ever witnessed. Such collisions are second only to the Big Bang in total energy output.
The event was captured with the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton observatory. Scientists are calling the event the perfect cosmic storm: galaxy clusters that collided like two high-pressure weather fronts and created hurricane-like conditions, tossing galaxies far from their paths and churning shock waves of 100-million-degree gas through intergalactic space.

Do you believe in God Winks? I have one for you... Richard and I had just stopped by to give Grandma and Lloyd some dinner, nothing fancy because we were in a rush last night. We took her some chicken strips which she loved, and one of her favorite things, a fruit smoothie.
We came home and were scrambling around trying to get the new motor home packed up and fixed for Memorial Day camping. Now, Richard has been working non-stop on the electrical system for two days. No one, not even the previous owner was able to help us find out what the problem was with the lights. We were standing there scratching out heads for the 10,000th time when Rich suddenly had a thought, and started fiddling with more wires. Eureka... He fixed it! The lights came on.... Everything was going, and our big blue (coincidence?) camper was working. He was ecstatic... Seconds later, the phone rang with the news. Our angel Grandma Bonnie surely had a hand in this miracle. I believe fully that she showed him the way. If you knew Grandma and her love of camping, you would know that this would be exactly something that she would do.
Please think of my in-laws today, who have lost a dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Bonnie is no longer sick and she is having the best day ever. The rest of us will be ok with time. Love you, Grandma, Karen, Clint, Kevin, Brian, Lloyd, Richard and everyone. . .
