King me
I've posted about the quilting before. I could not be happier with how it turned out. Such rich texture and the hand-feel is fantastic.
What is your photography strategy?

It looks fabulous! I don't make anything that big purely on the basis that I know I wouldn't be able to photograph it. One day... :-)ReplyDelete

Your new quilt is really beautiful! I love those natural colours! I'm happy to see that you have used Marimekko's fabrics! I'm very fond of them and not only because they are Finnish like I am!ReplyDelete
Have great weekend!
Completely stunning and loving those fall colors! Your designs are always so clever and original...ReplyDelete
Hi! Just found you! Love this quilt! Can't wait to peruse your site!ReplyDelete

Another amazing quilt. I love when I click on google reader and see a new post of yours pop up! Always inspired by what you create!ReplyDelete
I especially love the quilting. I wish I had a hint for photos. I recruit my husband to hold them and he usually drags the binding too. Maybe standing on a chair?
Seriously beautiful, wrinkles and all! ;)
I love this quilt! I think the wrinkles might disappear with just a bit more height - maybe a chair to stand on or lay it on the ground and photograph from the chair?ReplyDelete
I agree with Leanne. That is what I do. It takes a bit to get the hang of photographing some of these monsters!ReplyDelete
Your quilting is fabulous and the color choices very warm and cozy.
looks awesome! The quilting adds such great texture it really makes the quilt come alive!ReplyDelete
Yeah - I always have to lay mine on the grass and stand on a chair to try to get a decent shot. Or sometimes I hang them in a tree.ReplyDelete
"Pumpkin Pie" on the back - awww, man. Now my mouth is watering like crazy. ;D Love the quilt.
I read a blog once where she shared her photo-op tools. She went on regular little outings to find locales - had several clamps and a little bucket of clothes pins and safety pins. Usually found fences, trees, lines, railings to hang them on.
Another blogger recently posted about two photography backdrop stands (look like bigger, sturdier music stands without the music plate) that she uses with a bar extended across between the two. Adjustable height and width, accommodates even king sizes.
A friend of mine strung a clothes line between 2 trees in her back yard and clips her quilts to them with clothes pins. That's how she gets pictures of all her stuff.ReplyDelete
I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Gorgeous!"ReplyDelete
fabulous! I love that texture your quilting provides. No secrets here for photography - I can never get a good, full shot.ReplyDelete
oh my! the colors and the quilting are so decadent. i feel like i can taste the fall colors and soups and casseroles and pies of fall. i love every inch.ReplyDelete
such amazing quilt Dan! love the solid colors and the geometric quilting!! you created something extraordinary with those fabrics!ReplyDelete
I not ironing my quilts, just i try to take the photo after put away the quilt from the dry machine... I think the grass or a fence works great to display!
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2011 at 7:14 PM
I have a hard time photographing larger pieces, too. This quilt is really great... I so love the colors and the play with checks and the texture you made with your quilting.ReplyDelete
Love the quilting and texture of this!! Oh, and the piece work, of course! Regarding your choice not to iron, I think you chose well, though if you want to try and get the bigger creases out, perhaps a good steaming will help without messing up that gorgeous texture.ReplyDelete
And for photographing larger quilts, I borrow my neighbor's fence and use either clothes pins or large butterfly clips. I've also been known to hang the quilt sideways so that the length goes along the fence instead of dragging in my flower bed.
I just learned a really cool quilt "folding" method from Therese May of CQFA. You roll the quilt in a diagonal direction (corner to corner), then coil it up. That way you avoid getting the folding wrinkles altogether!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous quilt, by the way! And I'm definitely going to try that quilting pattern.
Your quilts are amazing!!! As for photographing, I have a 6 foot wooden fence in the back yard. I run a clothesline along it and pin the quilt up there, sometimes sideways if needed. If a quilt is too big for that (and if you don't have a fence maybe borrow a neighbors?) I use a clothesline up against the brick wall or our house and a ladder to pin it up. Doing it up against a fence or house wall keeps it from blowing in the wind during photographing. I have also laid it on the grass. :)ReplyDelete

Today's guest post is from the lovely Kia. Go and check out her blog Make Me Up Kia right now!
Hello lovely Elsa Pell readers. I'm guest posting for Kate today but before I get started I think I better introduce myself. My name is Kia (pronounced k-eye-er) and I'm a beauty blogger from the South-West of England. I love drinking too much tea, watching New Girl and obsessing over Suki Waterhouse's hair. That's enough rambling anyway, read on to see what I think of the new Revlon Parfumerie polishes. J'espère que vous l'aimerez!
Revlon have recently launched a collection of 16 scented nail polishes. What drew me first to them wasn't the scent aspect but the packaging. Look at how cute they look! The scents are divided into 3 categories - Fruits & Florals, Freshes and Sweet & Spices. The one I've picked up is 'Surf Spray' which falls in the 'Freshes' group.
In terms of scent, it really does what it says on the tin. The surf spray fragrance lasts around two days and begins once the polish has dried. It's a lovely fresh scent similar to the Bumble and bumble Surf Spray. Although, I do think it's a bit of a weird concept, who wants to go round sniffing their nails - cue weird looks.
The formula is quite thin and the polish goes on sheer at first. The staying power is average and the polish needs 3 coats for full opaqueness.
The colour is a beautiful sea-like blue, perfect for summer days spent by a pool/beach. Don't let the gimmicky scent put you off, the colour range in the Parfumerie collection is gorgeous. Definitely worth checking out next time you're in Boots!
Would you try scent nail polish?

Top 10 Animal Jam Itemsgarfieldgirl307 These are the best and rarest ANIMAL JAM items! They are hard or impossible to get!
The Top Ten
I had a rare headdress then then I went to my friends house and she was with her buddy and I was wearing my headdress. then my friends buddy started screaming at me saying GIVE MY YOUR HEADDRESS OTHER YOU WILL REGRET THAT YOU DIDN'T! I didn't believe her and I left. the next day I got on and my headdress and my fox hats were GONE
Rare headdresses are a quite hard item to get, so I think that the headdresses are a great 1st place as rarest item on animal jam, I have came upon one in a trade for 4 black longs, and the person actually accepted my trade, from that day on I was as proud as an eagle. Then, a animal traded me glossy wings and a rare eyeball hat, mixed with some spikes and 2 rare fox hats, and I, proudly a accepted it so then I did not have it anymore, I still think it is a very rare item!
Rare headdresses are very, very hard to get off of anyone. I'm just an ordinary jammer with rare headphones, rare heart locket and other rares. I agree that Rare Headdresses are hard to get hold of though, because I've traded people like 50 times and they wont accept any of my trades. I really want to get a rare headdress so I can show off my inner style and my fashion. I know it sounds like I am such a show off though, but sometimes you just have to. :P
Rare headdresses are not really that rare at all. One, they used to be a rare item monday like last year. And second of all it's a VERY common item in the eagle adventure. Lots of people over for it. Even a headdress (non rare) isn't worth a the second place.
Rare Headresses are one of the most rare items in the game, here is a list of least rare to rarest: Rim Hd
DP Hd, Tan HD, Orange HD, Silver HD, Magenta HD, Black HD, Blue HD, LP HD, Notes: A rim HD is only worth 2 black long collars. Maybe less. don't GET SCAMMED!
I've had a rare spike collar but I was hacked and it was taken. I got a silver long after that but I was scammed 6 times for all the silver longs I had. Now I can't get them because I was only left with 3 rares (not good rares) and a rare purple short that no one will trade me for. I've tried so many times to get one but every time I try to get one, I get rejected. I think they should put them back up at the diamond shop even if just for a little so more people can have a chance to get them so less people are getting hacked or scammed which is suppose to be prevented and not happen but happens all the time and can't be prevented. If enough people ask and request for them to be put on as an item to buy, we might have a chance in getting them put up for you to buy
People who have rare longs or shorts are really picky about them. There are multiple colors such as pink, yellow, orange, black, blue, green, red, and purple. The most rare is black, and the least rare is orange. People usually trade betas and rare wrists for rare spikes. The order of how rare they are is actually based on their color and if they're short or long. Most people get spikes by trading ultra good things, or playing the adventure: The Forgotten Desert. I used to have a red short, but it got scammed. People would do anything to get rare spikes, even threaten people that they would scam and hack their account. If they do, just report and leave. Most people don't even put their spikes on trade because it is too valuable.
Uh excuse me, but whoever said their not rare, SO NOT TRUE! So first things first, it is NOT like any other rare. Ever heard of monday rares? Well, monday rares aren't that important because their in the shop every Monday. Now rares that you can't get anymore, those are the kinds of rares you want. You can only get these from trading, or doing forgotten desert, but usually you don't ALWAYS get a spike from forgotten desert. If they weren't so rare, why would people trade for them?
I have a rare dimond spike is that the same?
by the way my user is nowwearepandas - nowwearepandafromaj
I don't think there is only twenty because I have seen more then 20 people in my den at the same time that were wearing them. Also they lost value recently they are not worth two black longs and two indigo longs, now its just two black longs, or an orange beard
I love founder hats! People will kill for those things! Literally a little kid was pointing a fake gun at me saying " give me your founder hat and nobody gets hurt! ", I didn't even have one. and I knew it was fake gun by the way.
The golden top hat. Only 20 are known to exist, and - garfieldgirl307
nah...V 113 Comments
I Wish I actually had a party hat and I really wanted one in my life I wish I do have one I promise I wont give it away if you give me one.
I just got a party hat today for a robot deb beta and a rare worn. I have no idea how the person accepted, but they did. In my opinion, they are SUPER rare because I've never seen one on anyone except for the person I got it from.
On YouTube, someone traded a party hat (rare) plus added for a headdress. They accepted. Which means this is probably pretty rare. Cause headdresses are rare too.
I had a Party Hat but I traded it for the Neon Blue Spike I had wanted since I started playing. Overall, it's a pretty cool item! - GameTheoristV 75 Comments
Ok. Don't laugh. I know it sounds silly. But the orange beard has only 1 of its kind. YOU HEARD ME RIGHT, 1! - garfieldgirl307
I have an orange beard I am jammer2981718, please trade me for it :) I'm not lying. there are plenty of orange beards, but it's so uncommon to find one, its less common than beta tiaras and founders hats! So how could it not be rare? I think that an item is rare if you like it, not its value. that's what trading SHOULD be about
I HAVE SEEN A PERSON WITH AN ORANGE BEARD. I don't really think that there is only 1 orange beard. They are super uncommon! I have only seen about 1 or 2 people with an orange beard. I seen 1 on trade. I tried to trade rares for it, and the person wouldn't accept. Is it really worth several betas and spikes?
THERE'S ONLY ONE! It's THE RAREST ITEM FOR SUREV 141 Comments
'Cause it's good for non-members to finally have rares. And it's one of the most rarest non-member rares.
I have like a million and there super easy to get ya know ill tell you if you buddy me I am code5895
Worn blankets are super duper rare! They are also a beta item! I tried so hard to trade them a rare fox hat for a worn and I got one! I was so happy because I got my first beta item from somebody!
Someone once offered a rare worn (that nice pale blue one) for one of my betas. Though the trade just went off. I wasn't going to say yes, since rare worn is a Monday rare, though after, I checked in my storage if the beta was still there, just in case if it was some sort of scam or hack. When I did, it was still there.
Black worns are definitely the rarest, they say they are worth 10 den betas! I have one, put it on trade and requests came flowing in... even though I didn't advertise!V 154 Comments
People who have rare longs or shorts are really picky about them. There are multiple colors such as pink, yellow, orange, black, blue, green, red, and purple. The most rare is black, and the least rare is orange. People usually trade betas and rare wrists for rare spikes. The order of how rare they are is actually based on their color and if they're short or long. Most people get spikes by trading ultra good things, or playing the adventure: The Forgotten Desert. I used to have a red short, but it got scammed. People would do anything to get rare spikes, even threaten people that they would scam and hack their account. If they do, just report and leave. Most people don't even put their spikes on trade because it is too valuable.
People I know are SUPER PICKY about their spikes like I gifted one of my friends my extra pink short spike and she said " I wish it were a black one like the one your wearing. HEY CAN I HAVE YOUR SPIKE? " and I'm here like " if you know how I feel why would you say that like you out me in such an uncomfortable situation like you know I'm not happy you know that I'm trying "
Rare spikes have different colors such as, pink, yellow orange, green, blue, black and purple, many jammers want rare spikes, there is also long and short, longs are WAY rarer than shorts. They look good on arctic wolves ( My opinion ) and I have been trying to get a Black long collar and black long wristband for months! They are the rarest of spikes.
I have an unwanted pink short for trade. I play AJPW now, not AJPC, so offers anyone? My user is mydogroleplays. If you can't get a hold of me on AJPC, which I'm rarely ever on, just add me on AJPW. - RedTheGremlinV 102 Comments
I love this item but I never had one its like my dream item I don't want a headdress a long spike a founder... what I really want is a neon bow. If your kind enough please can you gift too me one I will gift back a black short wrist if you will my username is.. milly50491 thank you lol..
I traded someone who had three of the neon bow and arrows : a rare green long spike wrist, a rare short blue spike wrist, a beta moon dirt flooring, rare black bow and arrows, rare raspberry bow and arrows (rarest of rare bow and arrows), and a red fox hat for one and they accepted so happy.
I have a neon bow and I just got it from eagle adventures! Since they are worth a headdress and add one thing or two I guess there pretty good!
I have this item. It's pretty cool, and the best part is that it's for nonmembers like me! - RedTheGremlinV 103 Comments
I have never seen a, "scully" as they are very rare item. I had first found it on YouTube, and the video was called, "Animal Jam Beta Footage", or something like that. I would love to have them, but, unfortunately, AJHQ had hacked into the beta accounts, and they removed them. They took this action because on a panda, it looked, "inappropriate." The reason why I say, "beta accounts," is because at the time, they were only in the beta Animal Jam website, in witch have been completely
Updated. Some people, however, are still lucky enough to have them. I think all AJ accounts that had a panda, and a scully, are unfortunate. Maybe some people who still have one, got a panda and got it removed by AJHQ because of their action taken by getting a panda. Please, if you enjoyed, gift me, I just got ban, and my spike collar, a rare blue long, got scammed. My username is sandstorm339, and please, gift me unwanted. Thank you for your time reading this, hop you enjoyed :3
I have never seen anyone with a "scully," as it is called. Could someone please tell me what it looks like? And I'm sure that when they introduced this item, pandas were not available as an animal in-game, so they could not account for this "weirdness." Perhaps they are so difficult to find because AJHQ hacked everyone's inventory and removed the scully from it, so they wouldn't have to worry about people's cute pandas looking inappropriate. But that is just my theory, don't take my word for it. P:
These are the rarest item in the whole game. They were deleted from the game because they looked really weird an inappropriate on pandas... So ya.. But add me! My user is gabirocks. please send me unwanted items and stuff please! I was hacked! :(
OML SCULLIES ARE IN THIS LIST 3TIMES! - nowwearepandafromajV 126 Comments
Least rarest is rare headdress. They're worth a decent colored rare long spike collar, and a black long spike wrist. Non rare is worth two black longs and some decent betas. Pink is worth seven black longs.
Headdresses are one of the top rare items, not rare headdresses! Some headdresses are worth 7 long BLACK collars, rare headdresses are worth like a short purple at the VERY most.
People will ask for rare spikes for this item, unlike a rare headdresses. Although they were in stores, when they were removed they became less common and more popular.

The Contenders
I will do ANYTHING for a pirate sword! Though they look very much alike, normal swords have the members only lock on it, while the pirate sword is non member. It is a very valuable beta, should be right up there or even above rare spikes!
I personally think green is the rarest since I traded a rare fox hat and another rare (can't remember which one) for a green pirate sword and they accepted, and then I traded it for a pink one and they accepted, and I got another green one soon after (a gift from my super-rare buddy) and traded it successfully for a blue pirate sword. The pirate swords are incredibly rare and they are also from the beta days. You don't find many of them around anymore (especially the blue,red,and black ones) and only super rare jammers have one.
For all of you that want a pirate sword jam gram me your offers and I might trade you one JUST JOKING I will give anybody one I know a way to get them of forgotten desert and return of the phantoms hard mode even that one cosmo adventure
I have this is it blue and rare?V 99 Comments
Hey everybody! This is iloveicecreamfrozen (my account username) I have a fox hat and everyone kept saying gimme the fox hat! I kept saying it wasn't for trade! Gosh now people think fox hats are adorable. I would trade anything for all the fox hats on animal jam! Now I see a lot a people surrounding me like I'm famous! Gosh I think that some people want to become rare. In my opinion everybody is special. Non rare people rare people. Still be kind and trade fair one person kept trying because mine was once on trade they were like trading me rare bows I kept declining sorry but I like the following: red light orange and white fox hats. If you would like to trade please trade me either white or red. At the moment I have light orange if anybody is happy enough to donate a fox hat for my good and nice friend Fredric101 she's really nice and really upset she really wants one. By the way I'll trade it for a rare headress ok? Ok now I wanted to say everybody is rare! I do not care about ...more
I remember when fox hats were just an item that said "rare" and everybody went on and on with how they aren't rare. Now people are always trying to get my pink fox hat. I guess people recycled them for money since they didn't think they were rare anymore and now very few people have them. I am: miahappyheart
I fox hats are so popular! They should be higher on the list because, EVERYBODY (or close to) wants them. I have 4 right now (possibly more later) and people keep asking for mine. They are so cool, they cost 1,250 gems. And people have to trade 3 to 4 RARES to get a fox hat.
I love fox hat I had one but I traded it :(V 123 Comments
I honestly think that a rare spike wrist band and a rare spiked collar should be both equally rare. Am I the only one that believes this?
I totally agree with everyone who says that these should be up a bit higher
The only reason it isn't rare than a spike collar is because it is smaller and barely anyone cares about it. It's all about opinion these days.
I have a black long wristband. I would trade it for a short collor not orangeV 30 Comments
I think this is even rarer than an orange beard, or at least close to it. It should at least be higher up than this though. It's not #21!
This item is very hard to get, and you can get it on The Forgotten Desert. I am getting an owl soon to get a Horse Coin, so check me out if you want one, I know all the codes and the order to put the crystals in. I am sandstorm339, so go ahead and check me out! :3
I think the horse coin is the rarest because there is only ONE IN THE GAME. I forget who it is owned by. People think that they can be gotten in the forgotten desert. Nope!
I mean, these were removed from the game, and are very rare, so I think they should be higher.V 63 Comments
The purple rare worn is extremely uncommon I think it should be worth more "my opinion" but most people probably recycled them because they where in the 1st leap year party in Animal nam
I have the rare purple worn and people keep asking me to put it on trade. But wasn't it sold last leap year? I don't know because I started half a year ago
The purple worn is really rare. It is worth a Bad-Decent Long collar and is the rarest worn! The blue one is not so rare, only worth 2-4 rims, but it's still pretty!
The purple or blue? The blue is really common, but it's my second favorite.V 28 Comments
If the beta one is magenta with peach eyelash and veins then I'm dead because I had one and someone traded me 3 black longs and then declined I almost flipped them off.3.
These things are actually pretty rare! Especially the beta eyeball. Trust me, they're worth more than headdresses. I know you don't believe me but they are.
Eyeball hats are really beta. When you know you hit jackpot is when you get the one with peach eyelashes. those are worth founders! I think in 2014 for Halloween they put it for sale. can't remember though
Ya this is worth a lot :oV 43 Comments
I see a lot of people with a ton of epic plushies. People might demand a rare spike, wrist, or headdress (might be an over pay) if people want it. I try to ask what for the epic plushies and people say: rare spikes! Rare wrists! Black longs! I'm never getting one.
I have two epic plushies (a giraffe and penguin) and I got them from someone who had a lot of money and bought a bunch of them. The only thing I will ever trade them for are other epic plushies.
You buy them from aj outfitters because if you get an epic plushie I will never trade it because were dealing with actual money just think of what your parents are paying for you they pay $15.95 dollars for something and you just trade it?!?! Just think of the money they're spending.
I got a whole store of them! by the way I'm heartscutefox07!V 33 Comments
I have only seen 5 around and there this glitch where it makes you go to the finish line fast! Someone said they give me black long if I can beat them but they keep cheating and this glitch works for all games with multiplier except best dress falling phantoms gem breaker and yea
This was deleted except for the den item version. I've only seen a couple of them ever.
I have only seen one ever.
I have one! :D I'm dovewingtakesflightV 31 Comments
It's a toy and it's the shape of a frog... let me see, how is it called? Ah yes cami frog!
I have been playing from when the game came out and everyone that joined got a cami frog for free
Umm, this is on the list. 0-0
I have one its from long agoV 15 Comments
These aren't that rare, but at least they're rarer than some non member rare item other than a worn blanket.
Extremely rare ; only known pair belongs to snowy claw. They are worth about a few spikes or some founders.
A lot of people confuse these horns with the light and dark purple gazelle horns. The real purple gazelle horns released during Beta Testing is purple and brown. Rarely have I seen this item, so it must be much rarer than 19th on this list. -beachfun
I HAD ONE snowyclaw does not have the only oneV 22 Comments
Sigh... people are really bad these days. I won't beg for one but some random person came to my den and said, "GIMME YOUR MIRA STATUE OR I WILL GET IT MYSELF" I didn't believe that they could actually do anything, but I went on a few days later and it wasn't there. People these days... - GameTheorist
I agree mira statues are extremely beta. I'd say they're worth... a beta phantom statue. I don't go after the golden bronze ones but I like the clear ice ones, cause they look better in my opinion
I always have wanted 1 I did not know they were worth 19#! I almost got 1 by a person giving it away. they said they would send it to me but somebody butted in and shouted NO ME SEND IT TO ME! I was so disappointed
You can win it in The Phantom Badlands.V 17 Comments
Tikis, ahh, quite old items, were sold in the beta as a matter of fact! They are quite rare, and hard to achieve, they come in a wide variety of colors, from blue to tan, these old items are darn right rare! They are also hard to find and jammers won't accept as often as they would of you were trading for a fox hat, if any of you jammers have them congrats, if you don't I hope you get one soon.
Well I didn't know they were that rare before now..( but I think mine was from the friendship event ), I traded mine for a painting ( And many other things, DANG It cost me an arm and a leg! ) But I wish I had kept it now..
Tiki Masks are kinda creepy, but I still collect them cause they're beta
I don't know honestlyV 19 Comments
Nothing is really rare anymore even a long black spike if your a member and has an eagle you can become really rare in weeks I got my space ship gray from the eagle adventure :T and a green spike neon bow and more
This is actually pretty beta still, but a lot of other things are better than it.
I seen 1 of those in my life O. O
I have a Spaceship Grey.V 6 Comments
Look there are to many beards but I heard all this from other people - garfieldgirl307
Its more more beta then the rare 1 its true
I only have a cream but yea there is
I have a brown beard!
Anyone wanna trade for it?
I'm BelieveInOwls
On AJ :))

White tails, nice, they are a pleasant item to own, go great with almost every look you can think of, I enjoy these items, they were a monthly member gift back in the beta, very very rare, congrats to anyone who owns one of these magnificent items and if you don't I how you get one soon. Take care, and jam on jammers!
These were given as member gifts (can't remember when though) and came in different colors then the diamond shop came out and now you can ask for rares. no more rare :(
It's actually the rarest tail armour. And its also Beta. So it's no reason to be upset about it.
It's not just white it's all purple, all pink, tan, silver and gold, or the red and white one. But the white is the rarest it's worth a purple, red, or blue long
I have never never had white tail armor before ( I wouldn't be able to wear it because I'm non-member) But I know that among my fellow roleplayers, this is a VERY prized item. It looks classy, and the color is gorgeous, Congrats to anyone who has one. :DV 4 Comments
A regular beard may seem lame but the truth is beards that aren't labeled "rare" are actually rarer than the ones labeled "rares" haha beards are actually worth say a rare claw
You may notice beards are very rare. This is 1 of the rarest. - garfieldgirl307
I have one, and I personally think it looks very cool on a eagle.
I hope 1 day I can get any colored beard at all but I'm fine :DV 5 Comments

I had one before they were in stores. NOW I'm SO MAD :(

One: able to buy. Two: very nonrareV 3 Comments
It is priceless. Claws that are rare are as rare as a really beta item. Every time I tried to trade 4 max rares that were ultra rare and a person said no. I finally got a rare claw and I'm so happy.
This is a VERY rare item. It should be at the top of the list. At least by number 3. It was a Monthly Member Gift, and it is obtainable on The Forgotten Desert
I have a rare claw and I love it! I would love to trade it! My user: noodle2014
I've actually got one from a...I think a Claw machine. I can't remember. Both me and my sibling have one, and I'm positive that we've obtained it though Claw machines, since if you be persistent enough when using the Claw (not the stuffed animal claws), you might get lucky.V 18 Comments
I have seen so many people with these... I'm not sure if their being duplicated. One time in coral canyons I saw 6 people wearing them
I have never seen one of these, but the name of it just sounds cool.
They are glitches and there are only 112 registered into the game.
I just love Bepper so much!V 11 Comments

It's not glitches because if it is glitches it would be silver and it would have had whatever color decorations and I have 3 megenta furrys but I sold one for 5 blackout long spikes and a rare headdress so that's pretty cool I think
Ugh people should know how rare it is... no one ever does giveaways on them.

The most rare bow out of of the bows not many people have them
Easily the rarest of the rare bow and arrows. You can't get them in adventures so they are worth awesome beta and rare spike wrists.
The rarest color rare bow and arrow. They are VERY uncommon and difficult to find.
Those are rare? What? I have 2!V 12 Comments
I think Non Rare Headdress is the rarest because there is like maybe I do not know like 50 of each or so.
I am wolf302 anyone know what looks good with a red worn please tell me, I got one and I would like to know I got it in the first adventure on hard mode I would like to get a black one and if someone would like to trade me send me a jam-a-gram please
In my opinion the regular orange one looks better than the purple rare one. These things were selling like hotcakes in 2013 they were in Jam Mart Clothing.
They are extremely rare the rare one was once sold on a Rare Monday back probably in 2012 I was there

Ontario, which has committed to cease coal-fired generation in the province by the end of 2014, is one step closer to its goal.
On Oct. 23, the province marked the end of burning coal at the Lambton Generating Station. This leaves Nanticoke Generating Station as the last operating coal-fired facility in southern Ontario, which is slated to stop burning coal at the end of 2013.
According to the Ontario Ministry of Energy, closing these plants one year ahead of schedule will save ratepayers C$95 million from reduced maintenance and project costs. In addition, the agency says replacing coal with cleaner generation, renewables and conservation will significantly help ease strain on the healthcare system by eliminating emissions that contribute to illness and premature death.
"Ontario is committed to building a clean, modern reliable electricity system to replace dirty coal-fired generation," said Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli. "Getting off coal is the single largest climate change initiative being undertaken in North America, equivalent to taking up to seven million cars off the road. This initiative will leave a healthier environment, cleaner air for our children and grandchildren."
Since 2003, the Ontario Ministry of Energy says the province has cut its use of coal by nearly 90%. By the end of this year, Ontario will have shut down 17 of 19 coal-fired units; all of them will be shut down by the end of 2014.

Six young women, four sisters and two cousins aged between 18 and 25, have died after they drowned in a pond in Saudi Arabia.
The tragedy happened when two families were out on a picnic in the Armah area, around 110 kilometres northeast of the Saudi capital Riyadh.
One of the young women fell into the pond, and in their efforts to rescue her, the other five who were with her also drowned, media and police reports said. A search operation was launched by the police on Saturday afternoon after they were informed about the tragedy and civil defence servicemen and divers were able to recover four of the bodies.
The other two bodies were found early on Sunday after the level of the water in the pond was reduced in a large-scale operation that involved the use of heavy machinery, local news site Sabq reported.
One of the fathers reportedly collapsed and needed medical treatment at the hospital upon hearing about the tragedy. Civil Defence officers urged Saudi nationals and foreigners to exercise the highest levels of caution during their outings and to keep away from flooded valleys, ponds and water collection sites. Saudi Arabia is still reeling from the tragic death of a young girl, Luma, who fell into a well as she was on an outing with her family and walked away from them.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Someone the other day asked if OPI's Be a Dahlia Won't You is a dupe of China Glaze 108 Degrees and I'm going to go ahead and say yeah...pretty much. If you have one, you probably don't need the other! I swatched them both yesterday and they are SO very similar, in formula and shimmer, that I almost wish I hadn't spent so much on the OPI! Oh well! Check out this picture heavy post:
|Bottles outside...I think this is with a flash
|Bottles sun. Almost exactly the sameee
|In the picture, CG looks to be slightly darker, but in person you can't tell.
|My middle finger nail is oddly flat so the color looks off, but if you look at my ring and pinky they're quite similar
|With a flash
|In the shade
|CG might have slight more "sparkle" but like I said, you can barely tell in person.
So my verdict is buy the China Glaze 108 Degrees if you don't already have it and forget OPI Be a Dahlia Won't You. I literally couldn't tell the difference between them while they were on and the formulas are so similar, I just can't see the benefit to spending more on OPI one in this case! I'm a little sad that I didn't realize the similarities when I bought it, but I do like having all of Nice Stems collection. So oh well! Maybe I'll swap one.
Hope you guys are having a GREAT Friday and enjoy your (US) holiday weekend!

HP Mini MacBook 311 Accessories : Wireless Mouse
As you know, I've just delivered part of my report for my MA class last Saturday, before I went to the Silent Film Festival (4th Silent Film Fest, that is) and tomorrow, the torture continues. You see, I used the HP Mini 311 to present my report last weekend.
And now you ask, whatever's unusual with that? Well, our MA class, Français 240 : Traduction des œuvres littéraires is composed of only six students (there were nine of us when the sem started, three ended up dropping the subject). Given the small size of the class, we're lazy enough not to get to the officially designated classroom and have resolved to just camp inside our professor's office at the faculty center. We do have an audio-visual room but, as it is, we're pretty much happy inside the office though it's somewhat cramped even with only the six of us, actually seven including our professor.
You can very well deduce that I didn't get to use any projector for the presentation. Yes, that's seven grown ups peering into the Mini 311's 11.6" screen for some half an hour or so. And of course I had to play operator to transition my keynote slides and reaching out for the arrow buttons effortlessly obscured what little screen real estate was available then to my audience. In short, I wish I had something with which to control the slides without having to draw myself anywhere near the Mini 311 as to block viewing of the tiny screen.*
So today, after going off work, I prepared body, soul, and wallet to get me a new wireless mouse. It's that mouse in the picture above.
It's amazing how simple it is to add peripherals or accessories in Mac OS X whether the machine it's running on is a true-blue Mac or a Mac-wannabe hackintosh like the HP Mini 311. Microsoft's "Plug and play" technology has never been better nor more beautifully demonstrated before!
Performance is good enough: I'd be able to transition those slides three feet away. The sales lady at CDR-King said it should work up to a distance of ten feet. So although I do have qualms about its quirky pointing abilities - it's from CDR-King, what can one possibly expect anyway?? - my overall verdict is still positive: it will serve the purpose I got it for.
Below are some more pics of my new wireless mouse. Too bad; they don't have it in silver and black which would've matched the 311 perfectly. But I guess metallic beige and black is fine. Looks quite good (now that the paint hasn't faded yet).
CDR-King M Series RF wireless (non BT) mouse
Php 480 (approx. $10)
*One classmate of mine has a pink Lenovo S10 which she also used to present her slides with during her report. Now that's a 10" screen! @_@

dude, rf mice can be detected using no drivers on any system, be it osx, windowze, linux even freebsd. why? they easily identify themselves as simple usb mice and you could use any simple mouse driver to run em. the key of this efficiency is in the hardware's interface archiecture, not on the OS. Sorry to burst yer bubble.
On a side note, i really do admire cdrking for proving you can create an empire starting with dirt cheap pieces of plastic.:)
special drivers, i meant.
- LeMaurien19 said...
^Forgive my uninformed statement.
But didn't I just plugged it into my MSI Wind w/ Win 7 and then there was this info bubble at the far right end of the tastbar, saying that "Windows is configuring/installing the USB device". And that took about 30 - 45 secs at least to finish.
I'm not sure about you, but the 1-2 sec lag on the mouse cursor after switching on the mouse itself and plugging in the receiver under OS X on the HP Mini 311 is substantial enough a difference for me.
That's 30 - 45 secs between my plugging in the device and actually using it on Win 7 versus 1 - 3 sec under OS X. But perhaps you have a different, better experience and all I can say, how very fortunate of you!
P.S. I'm not a "dude", just so you know ;-)
- machosehead said...
Ha Ha, I recently bought a very similar mouse with the same "nano" receiver. It was $10 at Fry's. This one is black with a silver metallic trim. It takes 2 AAA batteries and I will see how long they last. It goes to "sleep" so I don't think it has to be switched off. It works great and for the price you can't beat it. I haven't taken mine apart yet though!
- LeMaurien19 said...
Black and silver - cool!
Now that I'm using my wireless mouse with the 311 a lot, sometimes I think the 311's chassis has started to resemble that of my mouse...haha

Book Title: All Things Bright and Beautiful
Author: Susan Mitchell
When one is writing about something as horrific as the Snowtown murders in Adelaide, there would appear to be a number of approaches one could take to illuminate the background and incidents, relevant to one of the most vicious series of serial killings in Australia's history.
Susan Mitchell describes each of the murders which John Bunting and his lackey, Robert Wagner committed. She uses a dispassionate style which allows the reader to shrink at the scale of agonizing pain which they put their victims through before terminating their lives.
Against this background she attempts to describe the environment which produced each of the murderers and contrasts this with a totally different Adelaide which she gains access to by interviewing South Australian premier, Mike Rann; the South Australian Minister of Tourism, Education and Youth Employment, Jane Lomax-Smith; Adelaide Lord Mayor, Michael Harbison; her friend and author, Peter Goldsworthy and one of the sons of the Old Adelaide Families, Kim Bonython among others.
Two distinctly separate Adelaides emerge from this exercise. One is an Adelaide of the All Things Bright & Beautiful of the book's title. The other is of a much darker Adelaide, the Adelaide which incubated the murders "in the city of light" (from the book's subtitle).
What doesn't emerge though from Susan Mitchell's book is answers. The book exists as a pastiche of interviews, excerpts from the Bunting-Wagner trial, and personal reflections by the author, herself. Unlike Capote's classic, "In Cold Blood", which also had two murders at its locus, one never gets the feeling that one has really entered into the worlds of Bunting or Wagner. The book left me unsatisfied – as if there were something almost indefinable, that was missing. In attempting to avoid passionate condemnation or an admission of lack of understanding or even advancing a coherent theory of how such horror existed in the "city of light", Mitchell appears to have done herself a disservice.
Mitchell never did get to meet or interview Bunting and Wagner. Perhaps if this book is revised or updated in the future, that situation may be addressed and redressed.
This book review is dedicated with respect to Bunting and Wagner's victims.
All Things Bright and Beautiful by Susan Mitchell is published in Australia by Pan Macmillan Australia.

ST. CLOUD — Margaret Hensel bicycles the equivalent of 1 1/2 miles, walks more than a mile and tends to her rose bushes each day.
Sometimes she plays basketball with her 10-year-old and 6-year-old grandchildren. Soon she plans to resume swimming in her pool.
The 54-year-old Hensel might not be alive today without the heart of an Indianapolis accident victim, transplanted into her chest eight weeks ago.

Sample cover letter for Internship position at Credit Suisse
Assistant VP
GOT THE JOB? Yes
I am a Full Time MBA student at xxx Business School and I am writing to express my interest in the 2014 Private Banking MBA Summer Associate Internship. I attended an information session at your London offices on the xxxx 2014 where I had an opportunity to interact with you and Mr. Snr RM. The session on getting to know oneself, the detailed business & role description and the professional environment drew me the most to Credit Suisse. Additionally, based on my independent research, I believe that Credit Suisse offers me an opportunity to explore and pursue a career in an area of banking that I do not have experience in.
Prior to enrolling for the MBA I spent five and a half years in transaction and investment banking services in XXX. My most recent role was as an Associate at XXX where I led transaction execution teams and worked directly with Managing Directors. As an Associate, I was responsible for mentoring new Analyst hires and supervision and review of Analyst work streams. I also have extensive experience in financial accounting & reporting and external audit from my time with Ernst & Young between 2003 and 2007. My time at Ernst & Young culminated in being promoted to Audit Senior responsible for audits of listed entities, leading audit teams and reporting to engagement partners and client executives. While at Ernst & Young I was involved in recruitment and training of junior staff. I strongly believe that my experience and the academic knowledge gained through my MBA and the different activities as Vice President of the MBA Finance Club, would be valuable to your team.
I am a self-motivated individual who works with minimal supervision and I am output orientated. I am confident in my ability to work in teams, adapt to situations and deliver timely and relevant outputs. Prior to the MBA, I executed an equity placement, energy tariff determination and coordinated first rounds of capital raising for a wind farm. Prior to that, I coordinated an IPO for a XXX chain in XXX. In both cases, I reported to executives and liaised with stakeholders at the highest levels.
I am pursuing the MBA in order to broaden my career prospects in finance and diversify from investment banking and I am certain Credit Suisse would be the right place to achieve these objectives. Credit Suisse's global positioning, as affirmed by its 530 offices and 22 booking centers in over 50 countries, will also provide me the opportunity to gain exposure to different markets. Further, the structured nature of the internship program and the full time role will help achieve my objectives.
I have enclosed my CV for your review and hope to have the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and experience further during a personal interview. Should you require further information I am contactable on 1111 or (EMAIL ADDRESS). Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mothers and children spend hours walking to a reliable water source to cover basic human needs, such as drinking, cooking and cleaning. Or worse, they're forced to drink contaminated water, leading to disease and often death.
For most people, a scarf is a stylish accessory. For villages in South Sudan, it's the gateway to a better life.
More than 300 million people in Africa don't have access to clean water.
The Obakki Foundation is bringing clean water to villages in need, one scarf at a time. For every 500 of these "limited edition" scarves sold, the Obakki Foundation will drill a well. To date our programs have brought water to over 2 million people and we're just getting started.
Every village is assigned a specific scarf colour. By clicking on your favourite colour, you can learn more about the villages you can support through the purchase of one of these beautiful, modal-blend scarves.
As you buy and wear your scarf, remember its greater purpose.
You are part of a growing global community that is helping to create change in our world. Stay connected to your specific village. Sign up to receive regular photos and updates.
100% of net proceeds from the sale of these scarves go directly toward our projects.

The 15th Finance Commission on Thursday said that no state will be penalised for doing well on the demographic and economic front.
"The north versus south debate is misleading as many other states are also expressing similar apprehensions like southern states. It will be the endeavour of the 15th Finance Commission not to penalise states doing well on the demographic as well as the economic front," the Commission said on Twitter.
Several south Indian states have expressed the apprehension that the use of 2011 population data as parameter instead of the 1971 census would punish progressive states like Tamil Nadu which have achieved success in population control through their own efforts.
The Finance Commission on Thursday also held deliberations with legal experts on the issue of cess and surcharges levied by the central government and their implications.
"All states till now have raised the issue that it adversely impacts divisible pool and their concerns need careful consideration," it said.

ASC 606 Revenue Implementation
Ever-increasing accounting oversight and regulation have become a way of life, typified by the new converged accounting standard ASC 606, which seeks to merge FASB (ASC 606) and IASB (IFRS 15).
After its initial deferral, the new ASC 606 rules are here to stay and are effective for publicly-traded companies with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for calendar year-end public companies). Privately-held companies have one additional year to comply.
Potential Challenges
ASC 606 introduces transformational changes to the revenue model that will undoubtedly cause challenges to many companies during the implementation period and beyond. Companies will have to consider:
- Performance obligations (distinct goods or services)
- Revenue recognition (pattern of delivery over time or point in time)
- Transaction price considerations (various forms of price and volume variability)
- Contract modifications (change in scope or price or both)
- Capitalization of costs to acquire customer contracts
- Intellectual property licensing (right to access or right to use)
- Principal versus agent considerations ( control passes to the customer)
Are you ready? Review our ASC 606 readiness assessment to find out.
Are you ASC 606 ready? If not or you have questions, contact us.
Benefits to You
With our experience, EisnerAmper's ASC 606 team can help you conserve one of your most precious resources: time. We can help you avoid costly, time-consuming errors by misapplying – and then correcting – the standard, as well as save you time by allowing you to grow your core business.

Bishop-Wisecarver is the original inventor of DualVee® guide wheel technology, and no one knows it like we do.
The image on the right compares one of the original machined vee guide wheels created by Bud Wisecarver next to a polished guide wheel of today.
Now pretend to picture some fuzzy, wavy lines. Let's go back into the past more than 40 years ago.
Bud Wisecarver was running the largest "general jobbing" machine shop in the East County of the San Francisco Bay Area during the 60s when a local packaging company came to him with an application challenge. The company needed Bud to create a machine that would fill bags with fertilizer.
Bud got to work on the new machine but after installing it, discovered that the machinery would clog up with fertilizer spilling off from the plant's conveyors operating overhead. The problem? Flat rollers running in a trough would clog with the fallen debris. Bud took his design back to the shop for reevaluation.
The machine was redesigned to run on a double vee guide wheel system instead, and voila, success. The machine was able to roll thru the fertilizer bits, sweeping the debris off the track. No matter how much grit fell from above, the guide wheel motion was not interrupted. The dirty challenge was solved, but, machining these guide wheels was no easy task.
After finishing up at the fertilizer plant, Bud got to work on designing a better way to machine these wheels. While watching an Oakland Raiders football game on television one afternoon in 1968, the idea of how to easily machine these double sided guide wheels came clear to Bud. The rest is history!
DualVee Motion Technology® was later patented in 1972 (patent is no longer active), and to this day, whether it is grease, metal chips, sawdust or weld spatter, DualVee conquers extreme temperatures and rough conditions.
One other part of this story is also worth noting. When Bud created a machine to solve his customers' packaging challenge, he was there every step of the way. Bishop-Wisecarver continues this same work ethic today, as our engineering team is here for you from concept to completion.
We are a hard thinking, resourceful bunch of individuals who value quality, reliability and imagination. Contact us today!

She used the Sweet Centers stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog and made this super cute spinner card. The center of the image is punched out to leave a hole. Then you suspend the EEK image with fishing line and twist it before closing the card. Then when the recipient opens the card, the center image spins. Isn't that a clever idea for this stamp set!? I'm sure the girls she swapped with loved it. I know I was thrilled to get one of my own! Thanks, Carrie!

Over Easter we spent some time at the beach. It was really lovely. One thing I love about the beach is the way it changes; low or high tide, wild or calm, crowded or deserted.
On Saturday afternoon we wandered along the beach. It had been closed for swimmers because of the wild surf, but there were plenty of people and pooches enjoying the glorious afternoon sunshine, a gentle breeze and some long afternoon shadows.

We've all heard it: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The adage applies to music as much as anything. A case in point is violinist and bandleader Susie Hansen.
"In the last five years," she says from her Los Angeles home, "I've had to cut down the personnel in my band from nine or 10 pieces to six."
But even without the horns, extra voices and percussion, the Susie Hansen Band still plays most of the parts in the arrangements of the group's book.
Resourcefulness and mental toughness are part of the Hansen's toolbox. As a Chicagoan with a degree in chemistry and an extensive grounding in jazz, classical music and Appalachian music, she was smitten with Latin music. She moved to L.A. and established herself as a formidable player and leader. In SoCal's Latin music scene, only conguero Poncho Sanchez's band works as often.
The Susie Hansen Band alights at Joe's Great American Bar & Grill this Thursday, an occurrence she's likely to repeat. "It's a sweet room," she enthuses. "We'd like to make it a once-a-month residence."

WASHINGTON — Facing a large deficit in the Democratic National Convention budget, officials from Barack Obama's campaign have begun personally soliciting labor unions and others for contributions of up to $1 million. In exchange, donors could get stadium skyboxes for Obama's acceptance speech and other perks.
Obama has regularly criticized politicians seeking large donations outside the framework of campaign finance regulations -- so-called soft money -- while touting the virtues of relying on small donations.
But campaign officials last month reluctantly decided they had to take a hand in raising large donations from individuals, unions and corporations. Some of the donors get special bundles of perks, including use of the party suites at Denver's Invesco Field, as well as special policy briefings by Obama advisors, choice hotel rooms and party invitations.
What caused the shift was evidence that the Denver Host Committee was having trouble raising the estimated $60 million in cash and in-kind contributions needed to fund the convention, which runs Aug. 24-29.

The UK's biggest water company has said it could lift its hosepipe ban sooner than expected after wet weather reduced the risk of drought.
Thames Water, which serves 8.8 million customers in London and the Thames Valley area, said unless the weather takes "an unexpectedly Saharan twist", it no longer expected to keep the ban in place through to the autumn.
Anglian Water and Southern Water are thought to be in a similar position after the heavy rain the UK received in April and May boosted river levels and reservoir stocks.
Seven water companies across southern and eastern England brought in hosepipe bans to combat drought, after two unusually dry winters left some groundwater supplies and rivers as low as in the drought year of 1976.
But the restrictions introduced early in April were followed by record rainfall across the UK for that month, and more rain in May.
The latest drought briefing from the Environment Agency said the wet weather had significantly reduced the risk of drought and widespread water restrictions this summer.
River levels and reservoir stocks have improved significantly and further water restrictions for the public and businesses are unlikely, the government agency said.
Richard Aylard, sustainability director for Thames Water, said: "The record spring rainfall has eased the situation considerably.
"The River Thames provides 70% of the water we supply to our customers and levels are now where we would expect them to be at this time of the year, and our reservoirs are still full.
"In addition we have had excellent cooperation from our customers, both in observing the restrictions and in using water wisely, and we are currently beating our leakage target by more than 60 million litres a day."
He said water levels in underground aquifers were still very low, and the company needed to wait a little longer to be sure it had enough water to get through summer and autumn without restrictions.
He pledged Thames Water would not keep restrictions in place for any longer than was necessary and said customers would be updated on the situation towards the end of June.
"Taking everything into account, we need a little longer to be sure that we will have enough water to get us through the summer and autumn without restrictions.
"But unless the topsy-turvy British weather delivers an unexpectedly Saharan twist, we no longer expect to need to keep the ban in place right through to the autumn," he said.
While the rain has improved the situation, a third dry winter could see conditions "deteriorate" again and lead to the possibility of more water restrictions next year, the Environment Agency said.
In addition, groundwater levels are still well below normal in some areas, with some as low as in the drought year of 1976, and are unlikely to improve before the winter.
Some areas need as much as 140% of long-term average rainfall this winter to fully recover.
Trevor Bishop, head of water resources at the Environment Agency, said: "We have seen a huge improvement in water resources in just a few short months, putting us in a much more positive position for the summer.
"While the downpours in April were pretty miserable, they were really welcome as water companies were able to refill their reservoirs, river levels are mostly back to normal, and many wildlife habitats that were suffering have recovered.
"But while the risk of drought with further water restrictions and associated environmental impacts this summer has reduced, the situation could deteriorate again next year if there is not enough rain this winter.
"We are still working with partners, planning for the impacts that a third dry winter could have on next year's water supplies."
Farmers are unlikely to be hit by restrictions on spray irrigation this summer, the Environment Agency said.
But some streams and wetlands could dry up as groundwater levels are reduced by water use over the summer.
Hosepipe bans remain in place for customers of Anglian Water, South East Water, parts of Southern Water, Sutton and East Surrey Water, Thames Water, Veolia Central and Veolia South East.
While Thames Water, Anglian Water and Southern Water could be lifting their bans sooner than expected, other companies which take most of their water from underground are likely to have to keep bans in place for longer as groundwater levels remain low.
South East Water, Sutton and East Surrey Water, Veolia Water Central and Veolia Water Southeast have confirmed their hosepipe bans remain in place.
The companies say their supplies are heavily dependent on ground water resources, which remain significantly or even severely depleted.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman said: "Whilst I'm sure the recent rain was a challenge for some of the public events like the Jubilee, it was most welcome to farmers, gardeners and the water companies who are looking into whether they can lift the restrictions at the end of June.
"The Environment Agency continues to keep the drought under constant review so that no area has restrictions placed upon them if they are not necessary.
"People should use water wisely - we must start to recognise it as the precious resource it is."
