Today's Forecast: Scrapbooking
I had so much fun with my DT layout for this challenge! I always love creating scenes with clouds and a sunshine...it just makes me happy! I thought the Spring Flings & Easter Things line from Bella Blvd. would work great with this challenge. The papers are really bright and fun and I love the raindrop patterned paper with this line!! I did some masking/misting on this layout with an old scrap piece of paper, that I had cut some flowers from on my Expression a while back. Sometimes it's a good thing to save those kind of scraps...you never know how you might use them later.
I also wanted to create a rainbow effect in my background, so I used a large plate to trace a pattern on my paper. Then I cut out each of the pieces and overlapped them in the background of my layout. I also fussy cut the cute, little rainbow embellishment from some of the Bella paper and added it in with my sun and clouds to reinforce the rainbow in the background.
So sit down some time this weekend and have fun creating Weather on your layouts or projects. You can enter to win from our awesome sponsor this week, Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits!! Make sure to upload your creations to the Frosted Designs Blog by Noon on Thursday, April 19!!

You can use a them for backyard settings, as an addition to your own playground equipment, as well as a neat way to climb up to a tree fort. They can also be used as a net in case your kids fall out of their tree house, to prevent them from injuring themselves. A cargo net can be a great alternative to conventional rope ladders and can provide hours of fun on their own.
Consider buying an already established internet business. There are internet businesses for sale for many good reasons. The Owner may want to sell the business because it is too big to handle, he may be selling for health reasons or he may want to invest in another business with the sale proceeds.
Another mistake people make is they do not choose a market that can be profitable for them. The best way to make money with affiliate marketing is to identify a problem, determine that people are seeking ways to solve that problem, and then help them do it.
We all accepted the idea of planned obsolescence with car parts because the parts were American made and meant jobs for us. Now we still have planned obsolescence, but all parts are made in China. Check the box the next time you must replace a car part, knowing that part was deliberately given a specific shelf life so it would have to be replaced. Our government bailed out the automobile industry because – again – it meant jobs for Americans. The big three have taken many of those manufacturing plants to other countries.
One example of something considered minor might be dirt on the sensor. Even something as small as this may cause your system to turn on the ABS light during evaluation. Road dirt and grime can easily build up on the sensor so this can happen often depending on driving frequency. But don't wait for your ABS sensor light to come on before you get around to cleaning it. Clean it regularly.
Other auto wreckers prefer their customers to come to their location and look over the vehicles themselves. You'll want to take a few tools with you just in case you do locate the part you are searching for. Most auto wrecking operations require the customer remove the desired part themselves.
In the last 30 days, there have been eleven upward estimate revisions versus three downward revisions. The 2010 Zacks Consensus Estimate is up 8 cents, or 2.1%, to .82, while the 2011 Zacks Consensus Estimate is up 13 cents, or 3.2%, to .23.
When the begrudging task of having to plan a vacation does fall squarely on me, I start out wanting to pick something that I'm certain everyone will enjoy – my steam and my moxie, however, soon run out to a point where my wife takes the reins and saves me from what she refers to as 'vacation planning overload'.

New research rating European countries on their healthcare, potential for earnings and lifestyle has revealed France and Spain as the most desirable places to live.
Conducted by energy comparison site uSwitch, the report named the UK as the location where residents can enjoy the highest net income, but face a higher cost of living, long working hours and fewer holidays.
In addition to having one of the lowest retirement ages in Europe, France spends the most on healthcare, which may be the reason why it also has the longest life expectancy – with the average person living nearly 81 years.
Expatriate workers relocating to France may also find they have more free time, as employees benefit from an average of 34 days of holiday a year.
Scoring a little lower than its neighbour was Spain. Boasting more sunshine and holidays than any other European country – with workers offered a typical 41 days off a year – it also has the lowest fuel prices.
The recently published Human Development Report from the United Nations judged Norway to offer the best quality of life in the world, placing France and Spain at eight and 15 respectively out of a list of 182 nations.

i found this site when I was trying to confirm just how far along I am. i'm such a mess right now i didn't trust my own calculations. My due date for this pregnancy based on my last period is October 7th, 2018. I just don't know if i'm going to be having a baby.
I was drugged and raped at a party on january 12th. I went to the Er on Sunday (14th) once I was with it enough to realize what had happened. I do not drink alcohol, ever, so the fact that I didn't remember anything and was sore and a little bloody and woke up with my panties on backwards clued me in. I did report it to the police, but I have very fuzzy memories and there were a lot of people at this party. I got several different antibiotics to prevent STDs and a dose of Plan B, I started bleeding pretty heavily on January 19th, which wasn't in line with my next period but I figured the plan b was just messing with my system. I woke up on Saturday and threw up, and have been feeling nauseated and crappy ever since, so i broke down today and bought some pregnancy tests, and i'm pregnant.
I don't know what to do. The only person who knows about the assault at all is my boyfriend. He's been amazing, but I'm a complete mess. I'm in counseling, both in a group setting and one on one. I don't have any kids, and i'm not sure if I ever want kids. i know i could have an abortion. adoption isn't an option. i could parent. i'm 24, I have a good career (I'm an RN) I own my own home. But on top of dealing with this rape, I'm still dealing with trauma from my childhood, I have no idea what kind of mother I could be. I have no idea who the father would be. What if the police end up finding him, and he wants rights. but at the same time, a baby wouldn't be the worst thing, then something good might actually come out of this.

"This is a car you want to drive yourself. We see a big movement in analog things, and they are sustainable… This is something you pass to your children, like a Leica camera or a chronograph watch. Driving has been a pleasure since 130 years and will stay that way another 130 years."
The sleek ride exudes luxury and comfort and based on it's descriptions, Mercedes-Maybach 6 is a 6-meter length, total electric with massive battery pack located along the bottom of the car
The interior is stocked with modern technology and old-school comfort including a Chesterfield look to the leather seats, Elm wood trim (to create a "refined yachting look"), and enormous screens including a digital overlay on the windshield that can show driving-. and geographical information across the entire lower glass.

It has an automatic driving function with an engine that can achieve 750 horsepower. Judging from view of the luxurious interior, Mercedes-Maybach 6 appears to have a two-person sitters, but it actually has a spacious seating for three passengers and the driver.
Further description shows the grille up front is made to look like the pinstripes on a suit; the 24-inch rims, dual rear window, narrow side "mirrors" and spine-like divide along the back make the car extremely distinctive. Mercedes executives said it is meant to evoke emotion and intelligence, hot passion and cool rationality: "The key is to combine them," Wagener said.

The beginnings of anything can be difficult.
It doesn't matter if it's going back to school, starting over in a career, moving to a new city, or even small events like writing a blog or breaking into a new exercise routine.
It feels new and different and that can get uncomfortable. Or even awkward.
It's so hard to create new habits and let go of old ones. The old habits are ingrained into our brains and bodies.
One thing that I'm trying to maintain is getting outside once in awhile. Even in the wintertime. When it's freezing and all I want to do is curl up on the couch at home. I end up staring at maps for long periods of time trying to find new places to explore.
I won't be able to embark on my 50 states goal till Spring or Summertime but until then I can go back to exploring the areas closer and around me. I just recently visited Canada for the first time in over 10 years!
This new-ish found love for exploration has been a huge part of what's made me enjoy photography again. I can picture myself in my younger junior high years where I would always have disposable cameras and my Sony point-and-shoot, my first digital camera, on hand.
I highly recommend to always find something new to learn or something to retry if you've long left it behind. You may be surprised at the results.
Which is why I'm working to keep posting to Instagram consistently and on a regular basis of my continuing explorations, outdoors or food or music-wise. There will be occasional posts on portfolio work as well.
To go along with that I'm also working on spending less time staring at my phone or browsing the internet just for fun (kind of contradictory to posting to Instagram daily though). It's crazy how often I check my iPhone. I somehow manage to do it on an almost subconscious level.
It's actually frightening.
So if you start to see less posts (or tweets/retweets or reblogs) from me on some social media platforms, just know that it's me pumping the brakes on my internet time. I already know this is going to be way harder than I can imagine.
Anyone else feel the same like a zombie smartphone user sometimes?
Cheers to December and the beginning of the end of 2015,

Scarlett Moffatt recently caused a bit of a frenzy on social media with a bedroom selfie which seemingly 'proved' her relationship with Ant McPartlin.
The Gogglebox star posted to Instagram a mirror pic in her bedroom showing her outfit of the day, but fans noticed pretty quickly the picture of she and Ant on her bedside table in the background.
Fans bizarrely took this as 'confirmation' that the two were together, following Ant's separation from Lisa Armstrong.
They called her out in the comments section, so to defend herself, the Geordie reality TV star took to Twitter to defend herself, despite really not needing to.
She wrote:
My house is like a shrine to Saturday Night Takeaway, I'm A Celeb and my family the amount of photos I've got kicking about.
Fans were quick to support Moffatt, telling her they didn't think she needed to explain anything to fans about her personal life.
My house is like a shrine to Saturday night take away, I'm a celeb and my family the amount of photos I've got kicking about ?
— Scarlett Moffatt (@ScarlettMoffatt) February 3, 2018
The two have worked together on Saturday Night Takeaway and I'm A Celeb spin-off Extra Camp, but there is no real reason to think the two are romantically involved.
In fact, a representative for Ant dismissed the speculation as 'total b*llshit', so it just goes to show they're not taking it very seriously.
In response to the Tweet, one fan wrote:
Can imagine you're still pinching yourself at how far you've come from being a massive fan to working alongside and being mates with them.
No need to explain yourself, carry on what you're doing.
Can imagine you're still pinching yourself at how far you've come from being a massive fan to working alongside and being mates with them. No need to explain yourself, carry on what you're doing! ?
— Kay Fogg (@Kaylalula) February 3, 2018
Many fans echoed the sentiment, with some saying they too would have a picture of themselves with Ant and Dec on their bedside table if they were lucky enough to take one.
Moffatt was reportedly 'devastated' at the original rumours of an affair between herself and her colleague, and was reportedly concerned it would tarnish her burgeoning career.
An insider told Closer:
She and Ant really clicked when they met but it's purely platonic and she knows it must be difficult for Lisa to see the reports linking the two of them.
Scarlett hates being linked to her male friends. She's furious at the implication that she's cheating with Ant and fears all the gossip about her and rumoured men will ruin her reputation.
Selfieeeeee pic.twitter.com/ZevQGOF0PS
— Scarlett Moffatt (@ScarlettMoffatt) February 3, 2018
Scarlett recently praised Ant and Dec for curing her nerves leading up to her job as presenter on I'm A Celeb's Extra Camp, confessing she'd been fretting about how audiences would take her.
She told The Star:
They just said 'be you', which coming from them, when they are my absolute heroes, gives me the confidence to just be me.
They [Ant and Dec] are my absolute heroes, it gives me the confidence to just be me.
If they have faith in me, I must be doing something half decent.
Sadly, the world we live in now is that it's impossible for two single members of opposite sexes to become close – professionally or otherwise – without rumours sparking on social media about their blossoming relationship.
Thankfully, it seems by the last tweet that Scarlett has realised just how ridiculous it all really is.

While it is impossible to completely eliminate all risk of injuries - especially in a sport that involves jumping, spinning and landing on a slick, hard surface - we want to do our best to prepare our bodies for the best possible outcome. So what is injury prevention? Here we will discuss what you can do before & after your training to prevent injuries and optimize your performance!
In honour of Asian Heritage Month, here is GSC's latest instalment of the Traveling Blades blog!

Internet Food Searches By State Reveal That Our Country Has Some...Interesting Eating Habits
What are the people in your state eating? Well, if you live in Alaska, you might not want to know. The real estate company Estately has crunched the numbers on food-related searches by state, and has come up with a list that might be a little . . . alarming.
To be clear, this isn't a list of which food searches are most common in a given state (so the Californians only deserve to be somewhat mocked), but rather which terms a given state googles more than other states do. In other words, people in Mississippi aren't necessarily most interested in diet pills, but they are probably more interested than other people are.
The results are pretty interesting. Some are about what you'd expect — Vermont is obsessed with kale, Oregon wants to know about homemade vegan food. But who would have expected various types of barbecue to make so many appearances? Or for turtle meat to make an appearance at all (what gives, Ohio)? And I don't even want to know what's up California and their boogers or people in Alaska and their . . . people.
Clearly, though, Nevadans are the ones with their heads on straight. We should all pay more attention to the state that gives the Pumpkin Spice Latte its proper due.
You can also find other popular foods listed by state on Estately's website, which reveals little oddities like the fact that Mississippians seem to want to know both how to lose weight and how to gain it, and the fact that Louisiana hasn't lost its interest in alligator meat.
Plus, Michigan definitely isn't the only state wondering about their weight . . .

|A Little Mysterious
Elodie Parkes, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. Tell us about your book, A little Mysterious.
Book: A Little Mysterious
Publisher: Evernight Publishing
Genre: Vampire Romance
'A Little Mysterious' my November 27 release with Evernight Publishing was inspired black swans and a man I met in my work. I say met, but it was a fleeting meeting. I don't even know his name. The black swan idea has been with me since I went to
Australia on holiday
and saw them, flocks of them swimming in the edge of the ocean in a place near Melbourne. There was also a
tame one that lived on the pond where I was renting a holiday house in Perth.
The man who inspired Dhruv, my alpha male in 'A Little Mysterious' came into the antique shop where I work. He was gorgeous, so polite, and cool, that I went to the window so I could secretly watch him walk away down the street.
A Little Mysterious
He'd been sent off course…he thought he was lost…until he found Daisy.
His vampire abilities were special. He belonged to an elite group. Moving home, they are set off course by a storm that lands Dhruv alone, hungry, and desperate in a strange town.
A story of lust, love, and coincidence.
Interview with Dhruv and Daisy
Daisy, would you like to tell the readers about how you and Dhruv met?
Daisy: We met on the high street in the café I worked in didn't we Dhruv?
Dhruv: We did formally meet then, although I took a while to sat much to Daisy. I liked her as soon as I saw her. That was before we actually met. I'd seen her around shall we say. I don't want to give spoilers.
Daisy: That's true, but I wanted you right away. I could hardly take my eyes off you. When I went up the back of the café and cleared the tables, I used to stare at you.
Dhruv: You did more than stare you sighed over me. I knew it. I could sense it. I could feel your need and it fuelled mine.
He leans across and kisses Daisy, then keeps hold of her hand.
Dhruv, Can you describe when you first knew you were in love with Daisy?
Dhruv: You know, I'm sorry but I can't. It was weird for me. I couldn't admit it to myself. I think Daisy loved me right away. Did you Daisy?
Daisy: I knew I wanted to make love with you, but I felt such a strong attraction to you I think I might have loved you right away. Then I knew the first time we made love, it was sex that turned into making love. For me anyway. Although I liked him the moment I saw him, in the cafe doorway. I wanted those arms around me right away.
She leans across and kisses him this time .I better ask another question since now they are starting to get a little heated.
What's one thing you might have changed about your story?
Daisy: Nothing, since it's the real story. Although I've never been happy with my name, and that I'm not very tall, Dhruv can tuck me under his arm. Although things are a little different now since we really got together, but I can't tell you that. It would be a spoiler.
Dhruv: That's so sexy Daisy, that I can pick you up and cuddle you into my body. You're beautiful the way you are.
As for me changing the story, more sex, although there's loads, I'm addicted to Daisy now and I find it hard to keep my hands off her. I might have said a little more about our lives after we got together, but that might be better in another book.
Dhruv, tell us something about Daisy, how would you describe her in a few words?
Dhruv: She's very pretty, slender, intelligent. I think she's kind and generous, and she treats people really well. She's brave too. She likes the countryside and water. Starts to laugh and hugs Daisy.
Daisy, describe Dhruv in a few words.
Very sexy, giving, clever, thoughtful, a great lover, knows what he wants or needs to do and goes for it. He's very creative, and talented artistically.
So what's hot about the story?
Dhruv: The steam rises from the love scenes. I think the way Daisy responds to me.
Daisy: I think it's the way you talk dirty to me.
Dhruv: Do I?
Now Daisy is stroking his arm, okay time for an excerpt.
How about you both choose your favorite scene from the book.
Daisy: It has to be a love scene for me, what about you Dhruv?
Dhruv: I think so, the hotter the better. (Grins)
|Meet Dhruv and Daisy
"Hi, Dhruv. What can I get you?" She gave him a special look. It said he could ask for anything he wanted.
Dhruv waited for a few seconds before he answered. He leaned on the counter top with his elbows and returned her look. "I think you know, Daisy." There was more said in his tone of voice than the words.
They gazed at each other, and Daisy was mesmerized by his beauty. She gave an involuntary sigh as she looked at him. She wanted him so badly it made her dizzy. Each night she thought about him as she lay in bed waiting for sleep to overtake her. He would kiss her, not waiting long to put his hand inside her panties and feel her. Feel the throb between her legs, as she got wet wanting his fingers in her, wanting his cock in her. It made her needy. Sometimes had to reach her fingers down and stroke her clit for relief.
"Black coffee, please."
Daisy broke into a grin. "One day, Dhruv, you'll surprise me." She left him watching her with his cool stare as she went to get his coffee.

I was interested in purchasing an AutoCAD program but I am not sure of what program I need.
I am getting drawings of sites that we are installing EVCS and I have to do an as-built drawing once I have completed the install.
I would like to take the site drawings that are submitted to me and just update them.
What version should I purchase?
The version that the site drawings are on is AutoCAD 2011.
The last version of AutoCAD that I used was AutoCAD 2000 and I was in High School.
What version would be fairly simple to use and still be compatible.
Thank you,

Sycamore & elm.
H640 x W300 x D300mm
Winner of the Alan Peters Award for Excellence 2014.
Inspired by the hidden inner structures of modern architecture, the clean aesthetic of this pair of tables conceals a complex construction.
Tapers, curves and mitred corners create a repetitive structure from beautifully figured sycamore to form the body of the tables. Look further to reveal dovetailed drawers disguised within the tactile surface and an underlying framework of elm. A demonstration of pure craftsmanship.
Oak, fumed oak & white emulsion.
3 x H400 x W400 x D100mm
A trio of wall cabinets made to communicate the balance between obsession and good quality in fine furniture making; a project grown from research that questioned the boundaries between imperfection and luxury.
Each simple, square cabinet frames an oak door with a unique defect. A split, a rough band-sawn surface and a reactionary blemish, individually highlighted with a hint of gold leaf.
Presented through supreme accuracy, these common workshop 'mistakes' challenge preconceived ideas of flaws or faults in highly crafted furniture. Inside, radial end grain veneer shows the inner structure of the tree in beautifully dark, fumed oak.
Ash & laminated oak.
H720 x W500 x D470mm
Winner of the Alan Peters Award for Excellence 2017 & the Young Furniture Makers Bespoke Award 2017.
The Bud Chair is a sculptural piece inspired by the balance between structure and volume in architectural forms. The wide seat appears pulled upward by the backrest; a ribbon of wood that encloses the sitter whilst capturing the movement involved in the experimental process of free-form lamination.
The theme of symmetry is continued through a book-matched seat and an innovative woven junction at the apex of the backrest. English ash and oak were used to create a subtle distinction between the contrasting spacial elements.
Oak & fumed oak.
H420 x W700 X D700mm
The Gordon Table was inspired by the late Gordon Russell, a pioneer in the development of modern furniture.
This table celebrates the creative flow of thinking and designing through making. Oversized finger joints form the L shaped under-frame; an outcome developed in the process of making through testing on the spindle moulder. The grain pattern of the fumed oak veneer softens the contemporary edge and incorporates the element of natural beauty.
This low table has a different impact with each view point. The eye leaps around intersecting angles and imaginary planes as the object plays with the space it occupies.
White beech & ash.
H780 x W370 x D370mm
A contemporary dining chair, inspired by the simplicity of utility furniture. Displaying a blend of traditional and contemporary techniques throughout, the chair includes hand cut, wedged tenons and machined edge details. The split backrest highlights the beauty of the timber within and is cupped gently to comfortably support posture.
View the Collection // Beech Study Set
An offshoot of the previous dining chair with further investigation into seat shaping. The seat is constructed from multiple pieces, each shaped using specific machining methods to result in a beautifully rippled surface.
View the Collection // Beech Study Set
White beech and ash.
H720 x W1100 x D540mm (Desk)
H480 x W750 x D160mm (Cabinet)
Designed to make the most of small spaces in city homes, this trio forms a contemporary home study. Storage is wall-mounted to keep floor space free and reduce clutter, bringing a clean aesthetic to the home environment.
A tambour fronted cabinet reveals compact storage for office supplies and a laptop and features a stained cork lining that also functions as a pin board.
See the chairs in more detail here // Beech Dining Chair I & Beech Dining Chair II
Olive ash.
H1080 x W560 x D400mm
This unusually tall table serves a multitude of functions; a convenient lean for a chat over a cuppa, the perfect display for a trailing plant or a functional workstation when standing at the screen is more beneficial.
The table aims to highlight the beauty of olive ash as a timber often avoided due to its wild grain pattern. With a nod to rustic beginnings in country crafts, the split leg feature hints towards traditional hedge-laying techniques.
Ash & copper dowel.
H1400 x W470 x D470mm
Winner of the Gordon Russell Prize 2016 in collaboration with Gordon Russell Design Museum & William Hands
This piece presents an alternative way to enhance the experience of collaboration between two people. Playing with the notion of idea generation through collaboration, this understated table is quiet and functional. With the aid of two footstools, users are elevated to the work surface and into a clearer headspace to kick off a meeting with fresh energy.
Minimal design, inherent in the triangulated structure, highlights an interesting junction between frame and gently sculpted top whilst exposing the varied grain pattern as the decorative element.
Ash & suede.
H450 x W290 x D290mm
A beautiful display of grain pattern or a neatly upholstered surface for added comfort.
These stools work alongside the Up-Hi table set.
Walnut, maple & gold leaf.
H580 x W270 x D260mm
Two small chairs for two small children. A redesign of a family heirloom, these chairs are a playful twist on a traditional windsor classic.
Adding personality and humour through shape and texture, there is a lot for little hands to explore!
Oak & rippled sycamore.
H1700 x W500 X D400mm
The Serif Cabinet was created as a contemporary writing bureau using sustainable cork in place of a traditional leather writing surface.
It embodies classic shaping influenced by calligraphy, whilst the contrast of European oak and rippled sycamore veneer keeps the piece light, clean and modern.
This piece was recently exhibited at the Young Furniture Makers Exhibition in London.
More photographs coming soon!

Our Mission - #educlaytion
We're passionate about keeping the craft of ceramics alive. Studio ceramics is facing increasing threat with its neglect in the education syllabus at primary and secondary levels, whilst further and higher education courses are quietly dropped or subsumed into other disciplines. Our involvement in the promotion of ceramics within education has grown as the need to protect and nurture the subject has intensified. We have an unspoken but deep understanding that we should do everything in our power to promote the role of ceramics in our schools, colleges and universities as well as in the wider community. We hope that our efforts to provide a comprehensive programme of courses and workshops each year will go some way to ensuring the survival of this discipline in the years to come. You can keep up to speed with our efforts by searching the hashtag #educlaytion on social media.
What others have said…
Charles Brown, Advanced Throwing 2017 Extremely well run and thought out course. David Frith is an inspiring presence . I have been throwing off and on for thirty years and was still able to learn new techniques and improve my throwing. A generous mountain of clay to get through and good arrangements for completed work. Fascinating tour of the site; Potclays staff extremely helpful at all times. A great course.
Elizabeth Wills, Animal Sculpture 2018 Just finished this Course today and wow, it was wonderful. I have no artistic ability at all - just an uneducated enthusiasm - and despite this, Jeremy was able to guide me to making a passable hare. It's an addictive pastime and I'm already planning more work now I have some basic techniques. Jeremy is a great teacher and was able to - with enviable ease - demonstrate, assist and guide on the entire process of making and modelling a hare sculpture. I would highly recommend this course, great value for money and as ever, the Potclays folk are wonderful - very welcoming and friendly. I really, really enjoyed this course!
Peter Styles, Basic Throwing 2018 I have to say that Jon French was incredibly supportive despite me being very much the novice amongst a class who with a few exceptions were all reasonably experienced potters. It was great fun, the staff at Potclays were very pleasant and helpful and all in all a very worthwhile two days. A nice lunch was provided and as much tea and coffee as you wished and as much clay as you could get round to using although some efforts went straight to recycling. Jon is an awesome thrower which rather left me feeling very incompetent but he encouraged and helped directly when necessary. A very nice course.
Andri White, Intermediate Throwing 2018 Much thought from Potclays goes into the care of each member of the class and all the staff there are genuinely kind. The equipment is of a high standard and the room is bright, clean and friendly. Richard is a delightful, knowledgeable and talented tutor with a vast number of tips that make all the difference to making. He showed an ability to intuit exactly what each student needed to know even though we were all at different stages of ability. His enthusiasm inspired risk taking and his calming 'Zen' approach inspired confidence. I would happily do the intermediate course with Richard again knowing I would learn more each time.
David, Mouldmaking & Slipcasting 2018 Good course. Puts you on the right path with plenty of demos, plenty of humour, lots of hands on experience. Very relaxed atmosphere allowing your confidence to grow.
Catherine Ashton Copestake, Tilemaking with Richard Miller 2018 An excellent two day course at Potclays. Richard is a great tutor; fun, informative and encouraging. I wasn't sure what to expect so I just took some ideas along - I already have professional experience in ceramics, modelling and mouldmaking but wanted to learn more about press moulding and production techniques. You don't have to have any skill at all - just play and enjoy. Richard supplied all the ready-cut clay so it meant you could just dive in. I think it's imperative to learn from someone who is involved in the day-to-day production of ceramics combined with good business sense and Richard's thorough and common-sense approach was a delight. Potclays is a great place to stock up on supplies - the staff know their stuff and are very friendly and helpful. Lunch was lovely and there's free tea and coffee all day. I'd would recommend this course to anyone in love with tiles (or slab building, or similar) and I'll be back for more.

Tattoo Meaning
Hang my locket around your neck,
wear my ring on your finger.
Love is invincible facing danger and death.
Passion laughs at the terrors of hell.
The fire of love stops at nothing—
it sweeps everything before it.
Flood waters can't drown love,
torrents of rain can't put it out.
Love can't be bought, love can't be sold—
it's not to be found in the marketplace.
Song of Solomon 8:6-8
So let's start with some tattoo talk! I get lots and lots and lottttttts of questions about my sleeve. It's something that is so special to me. I've shy'd away from sharing for a while because it is so special and it's hard to explain each piece but also because I really don't want anyone to copy it. Which I know is silly, but I'm all about staying true to yourself and staying original to your heart.
I broke down each piece below!
Shoulder: I started this piece when I was 18 and gave our artist the entire scripture and he turned it into a solid piece. I never planned on getting a sleeve at that point and wanted to keep it colorless. It's a locket with a rose coming out of it with a string of pearls through out it. At that time it really represented God's love for me and that season of my life. He stuck with the first few lines of "hang my locket around your neck" and then added in the waves and flowers to go with "Flood waters can't drown love, torrents of rain can't put it out."
Outside of upper arm girl head: This piece was kind of thrown in. I got it while living in Chicago when Austin got his wedding ring tattoo'd. It's one of those that I always wanted and it just happens to fit with the sleeve. I remember being so SCARED to get this piece because it was getting really close to my elbow and I always heard your elbow is the worst. It's fun looking at my arm and remembering each season I was in when getting tattoo'd. (also my elbow was not that painful)
Inside of upper arm: Hand with covenant ring. The entire inside of my arm was the most painful part and I'm SO happy this hand doesn't have much color! This goes with "wear my ring on your finger." A ring is such a symbol of covenant and that's exactly what we have with Jesus and in our marriages. I honestly LOVE this part of my sleeve so much and it's almost never seen. Also, Do you know how awkward it is taking a picture of your armpit lol?
Inside of forearm: Skull through a looking glass. "Passion laughs at the terrors of hell.
The fire of love stops at nothing" This piece was something I was the most nervous about. He had mentioned a skull... and I just really didn't want it to look demon like. He drew this on me completely free hand and it's my favorite piece. Those words just hit close to my heart. Gods love is so passionate for us that NOTHING can get in the way of it. Nothing I can do can keep God's love from me and it's a daily reminder that Satan has no power in my life.
Outside of forearm: Torch with fire. "The fire of love stops at nothing—it sweeps everything before it." I loved the interpretation of this line. It was something that I didn't expect and it turned out really beautiful. I love the orange of the fire and that it goes up through the elbow. I love the mixture of the fire and water and the heart on the front of the torch to kind of tie it into the sleeve.
Through out the sleeve, we tied it all together with water to go with "Flood waters can't drown love, torrents of rain can't put it out."
The little anatomical heart on my wrist is part of a matching set of tattoos that Austin and I got before we were engaged. We were those crazy kids who got matching tattoos. His is an antique key on his wrist. I know, how cute... he has the key to my heart. (ah young puppy dog love)
If you're looking to get a sleeve my best advice is to know its going to cost a good amount of money. That a "cheap" tattoo is almost always a bad tattoo and if you're going to put that much effort into getting a sleeve, it's worth the money and time to make sure it lasts your entire life. Also, remember it's a huge commitment. At the time I was working a 9-5 and had to wear buiness clothes to work every day and while everyone got to wear cute tops in the summer I had to wear a boiling hot blazer because I couldn't show my tattoo's. Also just know you're going to be judged for it. I get so many funny looks and glaring eyes depending on where I am. I'll admit being so young and getting such a big piece done really tested my confidence and there was a small season I also wondered if I would regret it. I'm happy to say that was very short lived and that I love talking about my sleeve when people ask because I love sharing about how much God loves each of us and how passionate that love is.

FS: (3) Klipsch La Scala (Fastrac Wooden Horn Upgrade)
JustAuBy posted a topic in Garage SaleEDIT: Black La Scala Sold see new post here: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/159993-fs-klipsch-la-scalas-fastrac-crites-xos-1900obo/ I have 3 La Scalas for sale near St. Louis, pickup only. All horns have been upgraded and will come with sale along with original K-400's. I do have the crossovers currently upgraded to Crites but they will not be included in the sale as i have another project in mind for them. However if you would like to have a listen we can arrange so you can see how the puppies sing with the new crossovers. I also have the original type AA crossovers that will hold their own as well and are no slouch. I had these setup for home theater LCR and they were amazing. Currently have 2 setup upstairs in stereo and 1 downstairs in a temporary center channel til i finish my project. The veneer is starting to peel on the bottoms but overall these are nice pieces and i get complements. The center channel is painted black as you can see in the photos. Good pieces install new veneer or paint. I'm currently doing a DIY project just because and am not getting rid of these for any other reason than me being bored. I'll post a link to the craigslist add as well. Looking to get $2400/obo, will consider trades for mono block/pre-amp combo. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/5274176256.html Thank you for looking, Justin A.
Two channel moment 40 years in the making
cincymat posted a topic in 2-Channel Home AudioI recently refurbished a pair of La Scala Industrial Splits. There's a thread about all that In the technical/modifications section. Today my wife decided to listen to the result of my labors. She loved hearing the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, and whatever else I could come up with as long as it was loud. Said it was the best set of speakers we've ever owned. I was shocked. She's really never shown much interest in my music hobby. And I've known her since 1975. She even thought my stories about PWK were interesting. What's up with that? Mark

Look ugly, Sound Good
cincymat posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsI bought these LSI's about a year ago. They need just about everything, woofers, wiring, fuse holders, and major cosmetic restoration. I decided to get them to play music first and replaced everything that was either broke or needed replaced. Bought K-33 woofers off that auction site and the rest from Parts Express. Put them back together over the past week. Turned them on this morning. My oh my they sound much better than I ever thought they could. My wife, who upon first seeing them said never bring them in the house, told me those ugly things sound really nice. So it looks like the upper and lowers are going to get refurbished. Here's what they look like now: I'll post more pics as I break them down and begin to work on the cabs. Mark
EV DH1506 La Scala K-55 Mid driver vs EV-DH1506
wvu80 posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsI recently picked up a pair of Electro-Voice DH1506 compression drivers (CD) to upgrade my CF-4's. There was nothing wrong with the stock K-63's, but strong endorsements from Moray James and Alexg5775 got me wondering if the already fantastic sounding CF-4's didn't have a little room for improvement. I A/B'd the K-63 and the DH1506 and found them very close in sound. My testing was very informal and the sound was slightly better in the midrange with the DH1506. I wanted to get them measured properly to see if the diaphragms were within spec, so after a quick call to Mustang Guy I was off to the Speaker Ranch to get them measured. As usual, Craig had a better idea. I call his place the Speaker Ranch because his building is so large it's like a free range area where Klipsch speakers can wander and play freely, as loud as they want. There are fully 6 La Scalas set up in a 6.2 configuration, sometimes more. See Mustang Guy's signature for the entire list. It was around 20 or 30 last time I checked. Craig immediately grasped a 1506 which was attached to the CF-4 horn and connected it to the squacker section of the right side La Scala. Then we listened. We set up in the main LP and could hear an immediate difference, probably in favor of the DH1506. I say probably because this was NOT a controlled test, it was very much seat of the pants. We both thought the DH1506 might have been more efficient making that side a little brighter. If there was a difference, it was very little, both CD's sounded fantastic. Certainly one CD could be used interchangeably with the other and in a blind listening test you could not tell which was which. Craig took some measurements of both CD's in a very interesting way, so I think I'll stop here and let him post his comments.
Klipsch La Scala industrial Splits
justinsweber posted a topic in Garage SaleUp for sale are a pair of amazing La Scala industrial Splits. They are upgraded to the hilt. Fully braced cabinet using Volti kit, with grills covered in Klispch cloth. Full rewired Converted to 2way operation using fastlane audio Eliptrac 400 and Massive Monster B&C DE750... (Think big and go bigger). Crossovers are ALK AP12-500s with Orig K43s doing the heavy lifting. This are lighting fast and don't fall down the way la scala's can when pushed. Selling for parts cost. If they don't sell Ill turn them into my garage speakers with a Kenzie amp :-). Asking $2400 and pretty firm on it. I will assist in shipping if customer desires. I can write paragraphs about the sound but its not my nature. These sound wonderful. I had to rebalance the network when Dave Braced them for me as the Bass output increase so much. The Bass reproduction remains fast but is much fuller sounding than any la scala Ive heard... Sounding like a sub is well intergrated. The Eliptrac 400 and B&C DE750 create a sound stage stories large. Want scale... this has it in spades. Play a well recorded mix and youll be able to place the instruments in air. Justin 323-868-9722 Thanks
LOOKING FOR A GURU. Does anyone have, or know of, copper or gold plated block speaker connectors that screw into the screw holes of the La Scala crossover, so you can use banana plug connectors? I know that I saw these on a old posting in the old Forum, but I can not seem to track these down. Thank you.
CT-125 tweeters in La Scala?
cyto posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsI was wonder if those that have Bob Crite's CT-125 tweeters in their La Scalas would chime in with opinions. I am not dissatisfied with the stock K-77s just wonder if the change is worth the price (in your opinion of course) considering it as an upgrade. With my KG4s and Heresy's I put titanium tweeters in and liked it, not an option with the La Scala. Christmas is coming soon and I was thinking of asking Santa to bring me a pair
Building a Belle
Cantilope posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsI currently have a set of 1974 Cornwalls with ALK Cornscala-wall networks and a 24" Tuba THT. That I really love. I have them set up in my basement which has unfinished walls, and I have used Roxul as insulation in the walls and ceilings. The Room sounds very good. I am very much wanting to move to a completely horn loaded speaker. I have never heard a la scala or a belle or a khorn for that matter, but am pretty convinced I would like the sound based on my experience with my folded horn subwoofer. La Scalas can be had around here for 800-1000 bucks and with those what I am seeing is the desire to replace the stock mid horn (same issue as my CW). I have been watching for belles for 2 years with nothing showing up. With my recent DIY success of the THT I am thinking I can build a Belle or a La Scala and improve on it with better horns and drivers as funds improve. I read a few threads today, the bass bin of the LaScala vs the Belle, the Belle seems to be the winner as far as aesthetics and function. So I am thinking of building a Belle from scratch instead of buying a lascala and replacing most of it. I am thinking of using a Fastrac midhorn, and using the K55 Drivers, K33 woofers, K77 tweeters and the ALK networks I have in my CW to populate the belle. Ultimately if I really like the way it turns out, upgrading to the Kappa 15C woofers, B&C tweeters and a possible new 2" midrange if I can do that and allow me to return the CW to its original unmolested state. Will my ALK Cornscala-wall network allow all of these changes? Should I think about building something else? I am not really wanting to desecrate my '74 decorator CW but want to move to a horn loaded bass. Looking at the Belle plans, everything is done in ¾" sheet. I know that the LaScala II is made out of 1" to reduce flex, is that worth doing to the belle? Maybe just the outer skin? I have CAD and could make those adjustments pretty easily. I am open to any and all criticism and recommendations, Thanks.
I bought a pair of La Scala splits a while back that sounded decent but kind of on the lifeless side. The crossovers were marked Type ALs and appeared to be original so I surmised that the caps were aging and decided that a set of ALKs would be a better choice than rebuilding. I picked up a pair of older style ALKs (with Hovland/Harmony/Solen caps) off the forum recently and installed them. While inside I noted that the tweeters were K77 square magnet types and the fiberglass mid horns had massive Eminence drivers. I had read that Eminence made some OEM mid drivers for Klipsch so I didn't give them much thought at the time. Per the ALK instruction sheet I started out at Al's "normal" attenuation but after a few weeks of listening to movies and music the mids seemed a bit hot so I decided to change settings. I had noted the Eminence mid drivers before but forgot to write down the model number. While I changed the ALK tap settings today I copied the model number off the paper tags and out of curiosity looked up the specs (and of course opened a can of worms). Eminence PSD2002S-16 (Link: http://www.eminence.com/pdf/PSD2002S16.pdf ) Throat Size: 1", 25.4mm Nominal Impedance*: 16 ohms Power Rating: 80W (EIA426B Secification, 1.6kHz @ 18dB) Resonance: 550 hz Usable Frequency Range: 1.2kHz - 20kHz Recommended Crossover: 1.2kHz/18dB or 1.8kHz/12dB Sensitivity (1W @ 1m on axis horn): 105dB Magnet Weight: 34 oz Voice Coil Diameter: 2" Re: 6.1 Le: 1.6 mH The first thing that jumped out at me is the usable frequency range: a PSD2002S-16 isn't rated down to 400 hz so unless I'm missing something this doesn't appear to be a proper mid driver for La Scala's. Since these are older pro speakers with unknown history my guess is someone installed the PSD2002S-16's without giving much thought about the crossover point. I can't seem to find out the exact mid driver Klipsch specified for the pro series back then and on paper the Eminence driver just don't look right. The La Scala HF cabinet #'s are 8764119 & 8764121, the LF cabinet #'s are 8764123 & 8764131 so they should be late 1980's models. My questions are: 1) Am I right about the Eminence PSD2002S-16 driver in that it's pretty much leaving a big fat hole from 400 to 800 hz and doesn't belong in a La Scala? 2) If needed should they get replaced with K-55's or is there something more appropriate for La Scala splits? Any help y'all could offer would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to spend money unnecessarily but if I need different mid drivers I'll suck it up. ** As a side note also I have a pair of `79 Klipschorns with ALK Universals and Crites tweeters that I'm very happy with the sound of. The La Scala splits didn't seem to improve as much with the ALKs so I'm figuring the (what appears to be) mismatched mid drivers are why they still sound a bit wonky to me. Of course different room, electronics, cables, etc. makes you doubt what you're actually hearing sometimes.
Upgrading Home Theater with Reference or Heritage Line
davidtheman30 posted a topic in Home TheaterHi, I'm currently running a 5.1 reference setup with RF-82 IIs for the fronts. I'm thinking about upgrading the fronts to RF-7 IIs or would it be better to upgrade my entire system to Heritage speakers? If I did go the Heritage route, I'm looking at the Cornwall III or La Scala II. Between the Cornwall III and La Scala II, which is better? Also, I'm doing this upgrade for a 5.1 Home Theater setup. I watch movies about 90% of the time and sometimes listen to music. Please help. Thanks!
Subwoofer Recommendations for my La Scalas
Mr. Clark posted a topic in SubwoofersSo after spending an evening listening to some classical music on my friend's Chorus II's, I can see that my Scalas sure are lackluster in their bass performance. Not a big deal--just want my symphonies and jazz trios to reach those lows. I was wondering if any of you have some recommendations for subwoofers that work well with La Scalas. I don't want to break the bank--something around the $500 mark. The space is reasonably sized--around 20 x 14. Any of you LS owners have budget subwoofers that are good for 2-channel listening? On a related note--I'm totally clueless when it comes to powering subwoofers. I'm currently just powering the LS speakers with a Marantz 2230. I imagine this means I need to purchase an amp especially for subwoofers as well? Can I use a preamp signal from the Marantz to another amplifier just for the subwoofer? Any insight would be helpful and appreciated!

Dave's Fastlane fastrac horns?
crouse posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsI have some mid-range harshness in my La Scalas, which I know is a common complaint. I have been researching new speakers but am also wondering if a change/upgrade to my LSs would make a difference. I came across the daves fastlane site and their fastrac horns. Has anyone put these in La Scalas? And, if so, what difference did you hear? Also, I have Crites CT-125 tweeters and 4500 crossovers in my La Scalas. Thanks
Assess the condition of 70's and 80"s La Scala
Dave A posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsOK so I bit the bullet on a recent job in Orlando and bought two pairs of La Scala's there. It has been a long time dream of mine to have some and now I have two pairs. But here is my question. I have looked through the various forums here and I have not found a single thread that talks about what to do for basic things to check on these. I have found for instance comments about making sure things are screwed in and lots of comments about crossovers and tons of ways to spend money but no single thread on the ABC's of it all. What I would like to know is how do do basic maintenance on these to eliminate any simple problems that do not cost money but are important. Without any electronic testing devices is it possible to verify that components are working right? The AL crossover in the 80"s model sounds much better than the AA crosover in the 70"s model and all I read here contradicts this so I presume there are problems. So, you have just bought that old set of La Scalas. What do you do when you get them home to make them right? I played Broadsword by Jethro Tull yesterday and the bass and drums just reach right out physically impact you and the louder the better. I had chill bumps listening to this. It is a good thing I live way out in the country.
La Scala crossover upgrade options
Tony L posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsRight, from lurker to poster.... A few months ago I landed a pair of 1993 La Scalas: They are at this point entirely stock and have K55M mids, K401 plastic mid-horns and AL-3 crossovers. I'm currently driving them with a Quad 303 power amp and a passive pre. I've also got a pair of BK XLS400DF 12" infinite baffle subs hooked up, I've got them crossing-over very low so they really only fill below about 60Hz or so. The reason for this post is I'm looking to either refresh or replace the crossovers and I'm somewhat baffled by the options available and as to which are considered good with the various versions of the La Scala. I have the opportunity to try an ALK Universal, which I fully intend to do within a month or so, so I'll be able to see how that compares to my no doubt rather tired pair of AL-3s. What this won't tell me is how either crossover compares to Bob Crites' Type As or Type A/4500 with CT125 tweeters, which also really interest me (I like simple!). I'm also confused as to how swappable the different generations of crossovers are, e.g. is the nice simple-looking Type A a good match given I have ceramic magnet K55M drivers and plastic mid horns? How would it sound different to the AL-3s? Some context: I'm not a high-volume listener at all, i.e. I'm interested in what sounds the most natural, open and clear at 75-80db or so at the listening seat - I'm certainly not looking to blow the windows out. For the forceable future I'll be running them with the solid state Quad 303 as this system is my office / TV rig, so is in use most of the day (I work from home) and I don't want to be burning tubes for that length of time. I do have quite a nice tube amp (a 1961 Leak Stereo 20) but it is not really viable in this context. The Quad does sound rather tube-like with a nice easy-going nature and it's not over-damped, grainy or bright in the slightest. So far I'm enjoying the Klipsch as-is, my only real criticism is a bit of a ring / prominence in the upper-bass / lower-mid that seems to be coming from the bass-bin. I'm curious to establish if this is the crossover or the cab walls singing along. Swapping in the ALK Universals will probably tell me a lot here. Anyway apologies for overly-long first post. My questions are really: How good or bad is the AL-3 in the grand scheme of La Scala crossovers? Can I use a Crites Type A or Type A/4500 with my ceramic K55Ms, and if so does it sound good? What are the basic sonic traits of the AL-3 vs. Type A vs. ALK Universals? I've searched the archive but found little in the way of folk actually describing the subjective characteristics of these crossover options, how they compare and in which contexts they are applicable. Many thanks, Tony.

The Champions League returned on Tuesday with a 40-goal bonanza as Bayern Munich thrashed Roma 7-1 for its biggest victory on the road and Luiz Adriano scored five as Shakhtar put seven goals past BATE Borisov.
On a record-busting night, Chelsea wasn't far behind in a 6-0 win over Maribor, but Manchester City remained without a victory in three matches after wasting a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at CSKA Moscow.
Schalke also squandered a two-goal lead before scoring a controversial penalty in stoppage time to edge 10-man Sporting 4-3.
Neymar and Lionel Messi scored in Barcelona's 3-1 win over Ajax. Messi's 69th career goal in Europe's top-tier competition moved him to within two goals of the all-time record set by Raul Gonzalez. He is tied with Cristiano Ronaldo before Real Madrid visits Liverpool on Wednesday.
Away from the big-scoring games, Paris Saint-Germain edged APOEL 1-0 in Cyprus.
Adriano's five-goal performance in Belarus – with two goals from the penalty spot – equaled Messi's five against Bayer Leverkusen in 2012.
Adriano is the first to manage four goals in the first half, doing so in a record span of 17 minutes. With a late penalty, he also matched Messi's record.
Shakhtar, which has been forced to move from its home in Donetsk because of fighting between Ukrainian government troops and pro-Russian rebels, matched the biggest away victory in the history of the Champions League. Olympique Marseille also won 7-0 at MSK Zilina in 2010.
The biggest Champions League victory came in 2007, when Liverpool thrashed Besiktas 8-0.
With eight more matches to be played Wednesday, the record of 63 goals for a matchday, set on the opening day of the 2000-01 season, could be broken.
Five-time champion Bayern, which won the title in 2013, made itself one of the favorites this season with an overwhelming performance in Rome, with Arjen Robben scoring twice.
It matched Roma's heaviest defeat in the competition, a 7-1 loss at Manchester United in the 2007 quarterfinals.
"This is a fluke," Bayern coach Josep Guardiola said. "It's not normal to win 7-1."
But Bayern is starting to look like the Barcelona squad that Guardiola coached to two Champions League titles. The Spaniard took over Bayern last season and saw his club lose 5-0 on aggregate to Real Madrid in the semifinals.
"Last season we had the legs but not the mindset," Guardiola said. "We needed to decide things a split-second quicker and now we're doing that."
Messi started an outstanding performance at Camp Nou by setting up Neymar in the seventh minute before the Argentine scored in the 24th.
"I am pleased with our game, in the first half we were by far the better side. We created a lot of chances and could have scored two more goals," Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. "We could have pressed more in the second half. You have to finish out the match."
Eden Hazard netted twice and Didier Drogba scored his first goal since returning to Chelsea in the victory over Maribor.
Drogba's two-month search for a goal ended in the first half shortly after replacing Loic Remy, who sustained a groin injury while netting Chelsea's opener in the 13th minute.
But Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho must now cope with Drogba as his only fit striker for Sunday's Premier League match at Manchester United, with Remy joining Diego Costa on the sidelines.
"We don't cry on injuries, it is our philosophy," Mourinho said. "One injury means an opportunity for somebody else."
Chelsea remains two points ahead of Schalke, which clinched a 4-3 victory over 10-man Sporting Lisbon in stoppage time when Eric Choupo-Moting converted a penalty.
Adrien Silva, who had brought Sporting back from a two-goal deficit, was penalized for a handball – although television replays clearly showed the ball had bounced off his chest.
Without the injured star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paris Saint-Germain needed a goal from Edinson Cavani three minutes from time to beat APOEL.
"I believe that we didn't play a great game. Honestly, it's not one that we'll remember. But what we'll keep is the three points," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said.
In freezing Moscow, goals from Sergio Aguero and James Milner gave Manchester City a comfortable two-goal lead by halftime at Arena Khimki, where CSKA was made to play behind closed doors as punishment for racist behavior by its fans.
But CSKA substitute Seydou Doumbia pulled one back in the 65th minute off a cross from Ahmed Musa and Bibras Natcho leveled in the 86th from the penalty spot after Doumbia was fouled by Aleksandar Kolarov.
Substitute Ricardo Quaresma scored in the 75th minute to give FC Porto a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao.
