Envelopes made from folded square doilies contain special missives for your guests -- their reception seating cards. On the outside, notches cut into the lace pattern hold small name cards calligraphed in gray ink; table assignments are written on larger cards nestled inside the folds. Lay them out on a linen tablecloth, propped on the lacy points of the top flaps.
Doilies and silk ribbons combine to make graceful garlands to be draped over pews at the wedding ceremony or festooned along reception tables. From top: Lacy circles are laid flat and threaded directly onto ribbon, then slid close to overlap. Accordion folds add a cheerful cadence to paper trim. Folded pairs of heart-shaped doilies create a three-dimensional effect. Round doilies are gathered into frilly puffs, then wired to a ribbon. A scalloped edge comes from folding circular doilies in half, then pressing them close as they're strung together.
Guests will be wowed when they learn that this gorgeous chandelier was made from paper doilies. Best of all, it's easy to make and a low-cost wedding decoration.Get the Doily Chandelier How-To
A row of enchanting luminarias is composed of large glass candleholders surrounded by screens made from square and rectangular doilies mounted on sturdy translucent vellum.
A waxed round doily rests beneath a glass charger. The calligraphed place card is sandwiched between paper lace disks: To make, fold two 2 1/2 -inch-diameter round doilies in half, right sides in; fix the back half of each doily to either the front or back of the calligraphed place card with a glue stick, and fold down other halves to make a base, affixing a 2-inch-diameter round label to the underside for stability; stand the charming result atop the plate.
A flower girl in an eyelet dress holds a nosegay of blue hydrangea in a prim doily cuff; flowers made of trimmed and gathered doilies enhance the bouquet and the barrette in her hair.
Send guests off with candies packaged in deftly folded paper lace. The "crackers" on the stand are clear tubes filled with candy, then rolled in waxy rectangular doilies and tied at the ends with ribbon; a scalloped sticker stamped with the bride and groom's initials is a becoming seal. At right, doilies of various shapes are folded into imaginative containers for paper cups brimming with traditional blue almond dragees.
During the reception, the newlyweds can stand beneath this capacious bell of papier-mache and paper lace, surrounded by breezy white garlands of Mexican cut-paper flags. The pinata surrenders its lighthearted treasures with a simple tug on the tassel clapper -- no blindfolds or stick-swinging required. A delightful shower of confetti results -- white candies, flower petals, and strips of white paper inscribed with good fortunes -- to be distributed among the guests.
Give the decorations at your wedding reception the romantic look of lace. The intricate patterns shining through these luminarias (paper-bag lanterns illuminated by votive candles) are courtesy of doilies glued inside.Get the How-To
It's only fitting to present the symbols of a new union on a beautiful "something old": a pillow embellished with an heirloom handkerchief or another vintage linen. A few stitches keep everything in place and can be snipped later. If you don't have a vintage piece, you can find one at a flea market.Get the How-To
Homespun white cupcakes are crowned with fondant hearts cut with a cookie cutter and imprinted with the bride's and groom's first initials using a new rubber stamp. Those bearing a B are paired with napkins marked with an H, and vice versa. The cake stand is made of Styrofoam and boards, with a 3-inch-wide doily trim.
Sweet bridesmaid bouquets gleam with silver accents. Metallic paper doilies, which have been snipped and wired, echo the petals of lisianthius and garden roses that surround them. Wide satin ribbon wraps the stems, while thin metallic ribbons trail freely. A pearl-and-rhinestone button and a crystal-and-pearl brooch make lovely mementos for the attendants who will carry them.
Delight guests at a wedding or shower with their own tiered "cake." For these fudge treats, which can be made with white or dark chocolate, cookie cutters form bite-size layers resembling those on a wedding cake. Pink sanding sugar serves as icing, and paper doilies enhance the dainty display.Get the Recipe

Last month, the New York Civil Liberties Union released some extremely disturbing data about "stop and frisk" searches in New York City. Since 1968, the Supreme Court has held that warrantless patdown searches by police require only "reasonable suspicion" rather than the "probable cause" required to obtain a search warrant under the Fourth Amendment. This watered-down standard has always been subject to abuse, and there can be little doubt that this has been the case in New York.
A remarkable 685,724 New Yorkers were subject to such warrantless searches in 2011—compared to fewer than 100,000 in 1993. Nearly 90 percent of those subject to these searches were innocent. And, worse, most of those found "guilty" were guilty of minor drug possession charges—less than 2 percent of those subject to stop-and-frisk searches were carrying a firearm. And, worst of all, what constitutes a "reasonable suspicion" is clearly defined in substantial measure by racial profiling.
87 percent of those subject to stop-and-frisk searches are black or latino, although blacks and latinos make up only about 50 percent of the population of the city. And even in predominantly white neighborhoods, people of color are far more likely to be subject to stop and frisk searches. The data was appalling enough to stir the very sporadic progressive conscience of Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo has proposed decriminalizing the public possession of small amounts of marijuana. This would, at least, mitigate one of the worst consequences of the stop-and-frisk regime—people, particularly young men of color—are erroneously suspected of carrying illegal firearms but are arrested for drug possession.
Particularly given the consequences that arrests (and possible convictions) have on future employment prospects, this a classic example of the way the War On (Some Classes of People Who Use Some) Drugs works in a racist and classist manner. Cuomo's proposal, attacking one particularly egregious consequence of racist stop-and-frisk searches rather than the practice itself, does not go far enough: even if arrest and incarceration aren't involved, humiliating searches of innocent people based on racial profiling are inherently bad. But it is at least a worthwhile first step.
Alas, even not enough is too much for State Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos has come out against the marijuana decriminalization, which given the highly top-down structure of the legislatures in Albany is likely to be a death sentence for Cuomo's proposal. Skelos's opposition is an excellent example of the way in which the racist nature of the war on drugs is not only bad in itself but is essential to its perpetuation.
I'll guarantee that Skelos would be a lot more open-minded if young white men in the suburban constituencies he represents were routinely subject to arbitrary searches and arrests for drug possession. Perversely, the race and class targeting of drug law enforcement makes it easier to keep bad laws on the books. This is yet another reason to oppose the current stop-and-frisk search regime altogether.

Prohibition has finally run its course; our prisons are full, our economy is in ruins, the lives and livelihoods of tens of millions of Americans have been destroyed or severely disrupted, and what was once a shining beacon of liberty and prosperity has become a toxic, repressive, smoldering heap of hypocrisy and a gross affront to fundamental human decency.
Accordingly, it is now the duty of every last one of us to insure that the people who are responsible for this shameful situation are not simply left in peace to enjoy the wealth and status that their despicable actions have, until now, afforded them. Former and present Prohibitionists must not be allowed to remain untainted and untouched from the unconscionable acts that they have viciously committed on their fellow citizens. - They have provided us with neither safe communities nor safe streets; we will provide them with neither a safe haven to enjoy their ill-gotten gains nor the liberty to repeat such a similar atrocity!

Nuclear Power
Nuclear energy is released during the splitting or fusing of atomic nuclei. The primary method to extract usable nuclear energy in use today is through controlled nuclear fission in atomic reactors. The heat produced in these reactors is used to drive steam turbines which in turn generate usable electricity.

One down, three to go…: A wrap-up of my first month in Bs AsBuenos Aires, Fall 2010
"One down, three to go…"
A wrap-up of my first month in Buenos Aires
It's hard to believe that it has officially been one month since I arrived here in Buenos Aires. Although time has flown by, I've packed a lot into these first few weeks. To give you some perspective of what I've been seeing and doing, I'll be filing a summary blog entry at the end of every month that will wrap-up my experience from several different aspects.
In this particular entry, I'll be touching on my IES experience, Food, and nightlife in Buenos Aires.
Life as an IES student:
So far the IES staff have done an amazing job in making this experience a great one for all of the students here. They're all extremely helpful and friendly, and the activities that they have organized for us have been fun and beneficial as well.
During the first couple weeks we had orientation. During this time we got to meet other students in the program, sit in informational seminars, and go on several small trips and tours around the city. We visited an estancia (ranch) and had amazing food, visited a couple different museums, and had a bus tour through the city all for free. Just today we went to a Feria (fair) where students got to sample many different Latin American cultures through stage and street performances, food, and shopping. Again, the trip was at no cost to students.
The only hard part about being a student is…being a student. Sometimes it's hard to buckle down on readings and assignments when there is so much to see and experience in the city. If the speed at which the first month came and went is any indication, most students realize that these four months are going to go by quickly – which means making memories if often times going to outweigh making good grades (for some).
This is going to be one of the most interesting things to document while I'm here. Yes, the meat here is amazing. I've had the best steak I've ever had in my life at a restaurant called La Miranda, and I paid a small fraction of what it would have cost me in the U.S. I've also found hole-in-the-wall Parillas (grills) where I've eaten huge Choripan sandwiches for just 6 pesos, or about $1.50USD. I should have no problems eating a lot for a little here if I so desire. So, I have no complaints about the meat or the cost of food in general so far.
I've also found the culture surrounding the eating experience to be interesting as well. Dinnertime is pushed back a few hours from typical U.S. time, with most families gathering at the table around 9pm. And when they gather, they talk. A lot. It seems as though the emphasis at the dinner table is more on the conversation than the food itself. In other words, the feeling is almost that dinner is for catching up and fellowshipping as opposed to actually eating. This has taken some getting used to, since sitting at the table and having long conversations only happens in my life on special occasions and holidays.
If I had to point to any negative aspect of the food here, it would probably be the lack of spice. I mean that literally and figuratively. Granted, I haven't been to every restaurant in this city and tried every dish, but by and large it seems like there are no spicy foods here and that the culture generally shies away from hot seasoning. If you look on the table at most restaurants you won't even find pepper. What's more is that from my experience there may be slightly less variety at the dinner table as well. Along with many other students I've spoken to in our program, I have yet to receive a salad or any kind of green vegetables with my meals in the home stay. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I do hope that I discover more of a variety in the months to come.
I have had the most random and amazing time partying in Buenos Aires. I owe it all to spontaneity and, ironically, being black. The first week I went clubbing, a few of my friends in IES and I went to a boliche (club) named Kika. As with most situations in this city, I was the only black person in sight for a while. But, at one point during the night, I saw a black guy walking next to me on his way to the VIP section where there were other black guys standing and talking. I decided to start up a conversation with the guy – going against all rules of cool – in hopes of gleaning some info on who he and the other men in VIP were. It turns out he's quite the socialite. Fred (I'll call him Fred since I haven't asked his permission to be included in my blog) has been studying medicine and has traveled all over the world. Originally from Angola, Fred has connections with someone on just about every continent. I suppose he was flattered that I went out of my way to talk to him, because he invited me and my friends to hang out with him the following weekend – assuring us that he'd always get us into parties and clubs for free, and let us know whenever he was throwing parties himself.
So far, my friends and I have hung out with Fred three weekends in a row. Each time he's introduced us to different people, and made sure we didn't have to pay for anything. I've had a blast. It's funny to think how much being black has affected my experience here. On one hand, there are negative racial situations that I would prefer not to go through. But on the other hand, it's the reason my friends and I have been clubbing for free these past few weeks and having an amazing time! Go figure.
Next month should be very interesting. My birthday is September 10th, and it will be the first one I've celebrated outside of the U.S. Also, month #2 is supposed to be one of the most difficult according to some study abroad offices. Homesickness, language barriers, and exhaustion are supposedly at very high levels around this time. So far this hasn't happened to me yet, but who knows what I'll have to say about that in a month's time…

Focus: WvW > PvP/PvE
Based in: North America, no specific timezone.
Size: 15-25
Brief History
We started out life as a hardcore raiding guild named Phoenix during Vanilla World of Warcraft on the Sargeras server. We successfully cleared almost all raiding content up until 4 Horseman in Naxx. After The Burning Crusade came out, the guild split and everyone went their separate ways.
We had a few brief stints in Age of Conan, Warhammer Online and Star Wars: The Old Republic, but none of them really hooked us. We're finally opening up recruitment again and are looking to become a competitive force in GW2WvW. Due to how common of a guild name our previous name was (Phoenix) we decided that a re-brand was necessary, and thus, the Scorpions of Disappointment were born.
Our Future in Guild Wars 2
Most of our members are greatly anticipating our participation in WvW, and that is where our main focus will be. We aim to be one of the better guilds on that front for whatever server we end up on.
General Guild Guidelines
- Don't be a twat.
- Have access to a mic and Ventrilo
- Zero tolerance for useless guild drama
- Be laid back and have a sense of humor
Application process
- Drop by our forums: http://sodguild.com
- Make a new account (Hint: Guild Wars 2)
- Make a post in the Apps sub-forum so we can get to know you.
We'll be looking to play with any potential applicants during the next beta weekend. Basically, if you're mature and we like you, you have a good chance of joining us, as we're all fairly laid back and are just out to enjoy our time playing together.
If there are any questions, concerns, or inquiries, feel free to contact me (Rizzen) on our own boards, or in #disappointment @ Gamesurge.

Asthma and allergies are among the most prevalent and often overlooked diseases. One in five Americans suffer from all types of allergies. Over 24 million Americans report having asthma. Asthma and allergies are leading causes of hospital emergency visits, lost work and school days, and medical expenses. Thousands die each year from asthma.
We can help avoid these tragedies by improving our nation's focus on improving life without limits for people with asthma, allergies and related conditions.
Improve Access to Care
We support health care that covers everyone, curbs costs responsibly, abolishes exclusions for pre-existing conditions, eliminates lifetime caps, and ensures long-term and end-of-life care. We strongly urge efforts to cover all uninsured children in the US and address health care disparities. We promote access to safe, effective treatments for asthma and allergies that best meet the patients' interests.
Increase Funding for Federal Research
We support maximizing basic, clinical, preventive and health services research funding. This includes supporting increased research funding for the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Agency for Health Resources and Quality, and other agencies that conduct research relevant to asthma and allergic diseases.
Promote Prevention
We support efforts to prevent asthma and allergies from developing and worsening the health of Americans, including strategies to reduce risks in the home, workplace, school and the environment.
AAFA's volunteer Board of Directors reviews and approves AAFA's annual policy targets annually. For more information on AAFA's Advocacy Priorities, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Why Use a Broker to List and Sell your Boat?
Professional Boat and Yacht Salespeople understand the details - such as
certificates of ownership, security agreements, bills of sale and other documents
needed to register and transfer titles to boats. We understand maritime and
admiralty liens for the type of vessels that we sell, as well as mortgaging and
transferring title to documented vessels. We also understand agency contracts,
listing agreements, closing statements, deposit requirements and escrowed
accounts to safeguard funds.
Sure, there are many sites to post your boat and sell it yourself and some people
have been successful. In most cases, however, they sold their boat for less money
than they would have received by using a broker after commission. Many times
owners do not value their boat properly and don't know how to market the boat. The
key work is "market", that is what we do.
Protect yourself and get as much money as possible, call or email today for a free
market appraisal.

Optical sealing tape is an adhesive-based sealing option for optical assays demanding a low-fluorescent background. The tape is validated for real-time PCR on iCycler iQ systems (Bio-Rad) and for melt-curve analysis on the LightScanner system (Idaho Technology, Inc.). The moderate-strength adhesive layer ensures easy removal of the tape after reactions. Microseal 'B' adhesive seals are recommended if strong sealing performance is needed.
What is the education discount policy?
For more than 15 years, Bio-Rad has made science education a major priority. To support this effort, the company has implemented a discount policy that allows high school and college teaching laboratories to purchase kits, instruments, reagents, and other equipment at preferred prices.
How do I apply for the education discount?
If you are an educator at the high school or college level, visit our Education Discount Policy page to establish an education account number.

To date I've read four articles, heard three talking heads, and have noted a few other sources saying we only won because Trotter was out. Can't the Iggles and the Iggle lovers just accept a loss and move on? The best excuse machine in the NFL.
Championship teams overcome major losses. Trotter was a big part of that defense but the core of the Iggles defense is none other then Brian Dawkins. They still had their emotional leader on the field. They lost Corey Simon hurting their lines ability to defend against the run putting greater stress on their linebacking unit to get the job done.
I the Iggles can't get over losing Trotter they are in deep crap. It may not seem like to the pundits but losing Mathis was a huge loss for the Falcons. He has been a warrior for us at the nickle back and everyone knows Rossum has issues defending a tackling dummy. If McNabb was on his game they could have exploited Rossum but they didn't. The Falcons got their rush on and the game was history.
Ahhh... I feel better.
Discuss your favorite team: the Atlanta Falcons. As well as all NFL and pro football-related topics, including fantasy football.

Hi YA Pops!
Well, I must say the Yankees are considerably better right now then the Phillies, even with the few loses. At least your Yanks have an offense, where as we have one run in the last 48 innings of ball. My boys need to get their act though. I'm not given up on them though, we'll be back. Once a "Phightin' Phil, always". Staying true to the RED, WHITE, and BLUE too.
Anyway, it's been really busy, just know I haven't forgot about the message. I'll respond soon for sure. Have a great weekend. Stay Safe and Keep On Keepin' On!!

Big things come in little steps
I just finished a chapter, so I have two to go. This last one was tough. There's so much shit flying around, I'm terrified the reader might get confused and thus bored. I think I prepared the reader for this point, but the plot threads are a little like when girls skip rope with two girls holding two or three ropes with a girl in the middle hopping. The reader has to hop plot threads. We'll see when I test it out. I kinda wanted it to be like an emotional fireworks finale. Hope it doesn't come off like a kindergarten, kids crying in the corner and little Willie throwing up on little Tina.
This chapter was rough. I ran into something I hadn't anticipated back when I decided to change it from 3rd to 1st. When you're in 1st, and your MC is confused and flustered, the narrative has to give that sense as well, and I wasn't quite prepared for how hard that is to pull off without confusing the shit out of the reader, especially when you've already got a shitload of stuff going on in that chapter. The reader is going to want the thing to focus on the primary plot line, but if the MC can't focus like a normal person would, neither should you. Toughest scenes in the book to write so far.
One more tough chapter like this one, then the epilogue. The epilogue should be a snap. It's pretty straight forward.

You're nearly there, Fred! Well done. Of course, now you've confused me and I haven't even read it! But I'm a bear of little brain and easily confused, I have to admit.ReplyDelete
That mock humility doesn't fool me. You're the brains of the outfit.ReplyDelete
Hell, confusing readers is the norm for me. I so thrilled your pushing closer and closer to the finish line.ReplyDelete
So close! Can't wait for you to finish this so we can start reading it.ReplyDelete
