Correction: An earlier version of this column incorrectly stated that D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) had given a deposition in a federal lawsuit involving the D.C. lottery contract. Graham, citing the advice of counsel, has not given such a deposition; the column that follows has been corrected.
D.C. Inspector General Charles J. Willoughby's report on the city chief financial officer's award of the D.C. lottery contract covered some ground. But it also left unfinished a piece of business that requires urgent resolution: the role played by D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) in the award of the contract.
The inspector general, responding to a request for investigation from the chairman of the D.C. Council's finance committee, Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), delved into the circumstances surrounding the adoption of the lottery contract and a new online gambling game. We now know more about what happened — and what failed to occur — in the contract approval process. We also have a better understanding of the capability, or lack thereof, of the contractor that secured the bid.
But less clear, and in a way more unsettling, is Graham's conduct in this affair. Until we have a better understanding of what he said or did not say in a 2008 meeting with lobbyists and representatives of a lottery contract bidder, there's no way to turn the page on this chapter in the scuzzy life of the D.C. government.
To recall, Willoughby reported receiving allegations that an unnamed council member — reported to be Graham — offered to drop his opposition to one of the bidders on the lottery contract if a member of that bidder's group withdrew from a separate real estate deal with Metro. If true, the inspector general wrote, such conduct by a council member could "give the appearance that he lost complete independence or impartiality, and may have affected adversely the confidence of the public in the integrity of government." The report said, however, that the IG had insufficient evidence that the council member had acted improperly.
A series of e-mails obtained by The Post's editorial board suggest reasons to be concerned about possible misconduct. The e-mails show, as The Post stated in one editorial, that the lottery seekers who met with Graham on May 29, 2008, "were concerned about what they viewed as an inappropriate, if not illegal, demand from Mr. Graham."
Graham has said that he has "no recollection of anything like this occurring." He also told The Post that he did not intervene in the lottery contract award process as alleged in the IG's report.
Graham's declaration notwithstanding, the situation cannot be left at that. The implications in the e-mails are serious.
The council's code of conduct says that a member cannot use the government's power for a private purpose, nor show partiality or give preferential treatment in the performance of his or her duties. Above all, council members are not to act in ways that adversely affect public confidence in the integrity of government.
The code of conduct also instructs council members to report "immediately" to the inspector general any information concerning conduct that he or she knows, or should know, involving corrupt or other criminal activity or conflicts of interest by another council member.
Apparently, no council member is sufficiently concerned about the allegations to request an investigation.
I called Willoughby's office three times this week; no calls were returned. Willoughby believes that he has gone as far as he can with his investigation, a senior government official told me on Thursday.
But is that so? Have all of the participants in the May 29 meeting been formally interviewed under oath? Certainly not Graham, who refused to be interviewed by the Office of the Inspector General.
On Thursday, I asked Graham about his refusal and he wrote via e-mail:
"Under advice of counsel — the Council's General Counsel again stated —
" 'Councilmember,
" 'I write to follow up to our earlier conversation. As you know, the matter regarding your deposition is pending before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Until that matter is resolved, I would avoid public communications about the process regarding the Council's consideration of the contract.
" 'Regards, V. David Zvenyach.' "
In the end, Graham did not give a deposition in a federal lawsuit, citing the advise of counsel; the lawsuit had been brought against the chief financial officer's office by a former contract officer who says he was fired for resisting political pressure on the lottery contract. So I asked Graham: "Public communications" also include responding to the inspector general in connection with an official investigation?
His e-mail response: "This issue was specifically discussed with Mr. Zvenyach and personally with the IG. I did what I was advised to do."
Give me a break.
From a Post editorial regarding Graham's e-mails: "On June 2, Graham wrote back: 'Thanks. Do you think they will do anything?' [The lobbyist] responded, 'Yes. Wheels are in motion. Everyone took your concerns seriously.' "
This from the Justice Department's primer on bid-rigging schemes: "Bid Suppression. In bid suppression schemes, one or more competitors who otherwise would be expected to bid, or who have previously bid, agree to refrain from bidding or withdraw a previously submitted bid so that the designated winning competitor's bid will be accepted."
The guts-challenged D.C. inspector general has taken flight. We need a probe by a real champion of public integrity, namely the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

About Us
About the Builder,
My name is Wayne Barrett,
Being fascinated by sail as a kid, I started building model yachts in balsa over frames or carved out of laminated timber hollowing them out to lighten the hulls, balancing the yachts on the handle bars of my bike I would race down to the local dam for a "test sail" then back home again and ask mum to recut the sails.
Having a very understanding woodwork teacher in High school gave me an insight into lightweight plywood structures as he was involved in the building of timber framed military aircraft components in post war years, the privilege of the school woodwork shop on a weekend helped to develop my skills with hand tools and machinery.
To enhance my woodworking skills further I completed a five year apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery continuing with an extra year in special joinery, it was during this period I recalled the lightweight structure lesson from my high school days, using this technique I built a Moth class sailing dinghy, being significantly lighter than my opposition I was unbeatable for a complete season, see photos of two versions of the class, one has a very slight concaved bottom with a single chine, the other has a cold molded cedar hull.
After the Moths came several Quickcats, very popular local plywood catamaran it has deep dory type hulls 4.9mtr (16ft.) LOA . plus several A class catamarans and smaller catamarans known as the Arrow and Arafura, each with building features very similar to what I am proposing now.
After being bitten by the trimaran bug in the late sixties my passion for a small trimaran still remains strong today.
My first real full sized trimaran was a "Kraken 18" designed by Lock Crowther, I built the tri in 1975 (which was displayed at the Melbourne Boat Show) over a male mold with vertical strips of Airex foam 6mm. x 150mm wide, the tri was designed for lakes and sheltered waterways never intended to be a coastal cruiser however this did not stop a friend and I sailing the tiny trimaran 40NM. along the notorious Victorian coast of Bass Straight.
This trip encouraged me to build a slightly larger trimaran, at that time the Crowther Buccaneer 24 was a good choice, the simplicity of construction enabled me to complete the two floats and mainhull to the glassing stage over three weekends…part time, very low tech, silicone bronze ring fast nails every 50mm by hand, no SS staples or CNC back then.
From the Buccaneer 24 it was a Buccaneer 33 then various multihulls ranging in size from 7.5mtr to 12mtr. all in plywood with the exception of a Crowther Spindrift 37 catamaran from Airex composite hulls and plywood decks.
Moving to the Gold Coast meeting with Tony Grainger to rebuild an "075" one of his very first trimaran designs, not long after the building of Trilogy was commissioned.
After the successful trimarans Trilogyand Traveller by Dick Newick, followed by the Farrari Red "Max", now Indian Chief (see photos below), one element of building was evident, although beautiful to look at and with high end performance they are very time consuming and costly to build, in my opinion far beyond the time frame most home builders would care not to comprehend.
Why build your own trimaran?
Some of us like the thought of pottering around in the garage, some have budget constraints, some just enjoy building rather than sailing, then there is the joy of building and sailing your own creation.
The "M80" trimaran, is designed for the home builder in mind who has limited time and basic experience with small hand tools, it can be built from CNC cut panels in a fraction of the time compared to some other options, alternatively you can build it from our easy to follow plan set.
The "M80″ trimaran is available in CNC Gaboon or similar plywood or built from a comprehensive set of plans.
Plans are now available for Duracore, Duflex or foam core kits.

Joan Rivers in legal spat with former neighbour
Joan Rivers' former neighbour is suing the comedienne for reportedly driving her out of her New York condominium.
The catty TV personality has been hit with a $15 million (£10 million) lawsuit from Elizabeth Hazan, who claims Rivers went overboard as the building's president, cut her cable and filled her door locks with glue after Hazan fell behind on her apartment fees.
In her suit, the 41 year old insists Rivers never liked her, stating, "Her problem with me is that I'm young, she's old, I'm beautiful, she's ugly. Without makeup she looks like the Joker in Batman.
"It's personal between her and me. It's been that way ever since I moved in 2005. She spat in my face and called me a whore in front of my mother and brother when they were visiting me. Most mean woman you can imagine."
Hazan left the building after she was denied entrance by the doorman at the end of last month (Sep13).
Rivers' lawyer Kevin Smith tells the New York Daily News, "I can't comment on what she's saying (but) I can tell you (the dispute) is over common charges, over $200,000 in unpaid fees and two prior actions pending. We're looking at the latest lawsuit and preparing a response."
Rivers has resided in the East 62nd Street building's penthouse for the past 25 years.

***Free Moe's Southwest Grill Kids meal at bottom of post***
Isn't it sad how fast our kids grow up? It sucks actually.
When I started this site Emma was only 2..turning 3. Actually one of my first posts here was her Sleeping Beauty Birthday Cake. That cake was the FIRST cake I had ever made. For her 4th Birthday, she requested a Little Mermaid Birthday cake.
Yes, by the time she was 4, she was requesting I make her "fancy" cakes. So much for the 1970's sheet cake with sprinkles, served still in the 9 x 13 pan.
Her 5th "Peace Sign" Birthday cake was atrocious! I threw it together in 2 seconds. But the kids thought it was cool.
She was quite spoiled for her 6th Birthday, she got not one, but 2 Cute Cakes…one cupcake cake and one Shabby Chic rose cake.
Which brings us to her 7th birthday.
Again, the brat requested her own cake. She wanted a "messy" cake with butterflies, and roses with sliver balls in them.
She saw this cake on my pinterest board and loved it, so I drew my inspiration from it.
So that's what she got…talk about an easy cake. I didn't even have to smooth out the frosting..SCORE.
Oh, and you also get cinnamon rolls for breakfast on your birthday too.
My baby is getting so big…sniff sniff
You met her this little
And now she is such a big girl.
My friends at Moe's catered her party. Talk about convenient and delicious. They even delivered it!
It's so nice to have a party and not have to think about getting food ready.
There was soooooo much food, so much that we had enough for my daughters AND my nephews 1st birthday party that was at my house just s few hours later.
Oh and guess what? Moe's is giving away free kids measl to my blog readers.
You can get a coupon for a free kids meal by clicking on the image below. Fill out your contact info and the coupon will be mailed to you! Yippee!

If you live in the Chicago area you are aware that autumn seems to be starting early this year. I remember two years ago that the Chicago Marathon was run in 90 degree temps. It felt like Summer, at one point having to have it cut short because of the dangerous temperatures. This year, you can smell the crisp cool air as a prelude to the winter months.
A beautiful version of Harborcoat has been posted to REMHQ for everyone to enjoy.
I always like how these songs can be reintroduced to the public after so many years and quite honestly, the song has been reinvented after its 20+ year existence.
Played in 2007, this song is part of the Olympia Theatre rehearsal shows back in July 2007, and in particular was played on July 4th of that year.
R.E.M. is planning a 2-CD live release later this year as a compilation of those nights performances. Harborcoat will also be released as a 4 song EP on July 7th, in support of the Reckoning songs as a precurser to 'Live at the Olympia' that is coming this October.

It's also a matter of near impossibility to add new features later. BSD FFS didn't get ACL's, extended attributes, and many other features ***years*** after Linux had them. Complexity is evil; it leads to bugs, makes things hard to maintain, and it makes it harder to add new features later. But hey, if you're so smart, you go ahead and implement them yourself. You can demonstrate how you can do it better than everyone else. Otherwise you're just wasting everybody's time. Complex ideas are not valid ones; or at least they certainly aren't good ones. - Ted

offs are one of the most common occurrences in a game of hockey. On the
surface, they seem simple enough. And yet, as is the case in this sport,
sometimes the simplest things are the most complex.
face-off shall take place when the Referee or Linesmen drops the puck on
the ice between the sticks of the players facing off. Not hard to
understand yet.
here is where everything begins to happen. The players taking the
face-off, usually the centerman from each team, is supposed to stand
squarely facing his opponent's end of the rink. They are to stand about
one stick length apart with the full blade of their sticks flat on the
ice. All of the other players must be no closer than about 4.57 m (15
feet) from the face-off spot and they must be on-side (on the same side of
the 'circle' as their centerman).
the face-off takes place at any of the face-off spots in the end zones,
the centermen now have to stand squarely facing the other team's end of
the rink and also clear of the face-off restraining lines which have been
drawn on the ice. They then must have their players taking part in the
face-off take their positions so that they will stand squarely facing
their opponents' end of the rink, and clear of the face-off restraining
lines. The sticks of both players must be placed on the ice with the
toe of the blade touching within the designated white area. On top of
this, the visiting player must place his stick down first.
the centermen are getting ready for the puck to be dropped, all other
players must remain on-side. If any of them moves off-side, touches an
opponent, or moves inside the 15 foot circle, then the linesman is to
eject the centerman of the offending team and another player has to take
his place.
face-off is the only way a game can be started, and it is the only way
play can be resumed after a stoppage of play for any reason. It is
therefore, a very important part of hockey. It is also a very important
part of the game for coaches and players. Many goals result from winning
face-offs and there are players who practice endlessly to perfect their
face-off skills.
hate to see players tossed out of face-offs and they always yell at the
Linesmen to "Drop the puck!" The
delay in the game annoys fans because they want to see action, not players
getting kicked out of face-offs. However, the reason why players are
getting tossed out of face-offs is that one of the players on the
offending team is not obeying the rules of the face-off and thus they are
in essence cheating. A Linesman's prime duty at each and every face-off
is to provide a fair face-off.
why do centremen get kicked out of face-offs?
One of the reasons is that the centreman himself is not obeying the
proper procedures of a face-off. The
centreman must come in square, using the two "L" lines to position
their feet and they are required to place their sticks flat on the ice and
only the tips of their blades are allowed to be in contact with the
face-off dot. When centremen come in crooked (feet not within the
constraints of the two "L" lines), or when the tips of their sticks
are not facing the other end boards, or when their sticks are not on the
ice, they may be tossed out of the circle to be replaced by another member
of their team.
most common reason for a centreman getting tossed out of a face-off is
that he is moving before the puck is actually out of the Linesman's
hand. centremen like to get
the jump on the Linesman by placing their stick on the ice and then
immediately lifting their stick and moving it forward across the face-off
dot in an attempt to sweep the puck back between their legs.
This works if the Linesman actually drops the puck as the stick is
moving forward, because as the stick is coming back towards his body the
puck is already on the ice making it easy for this centreman to win the
centremen continue to put their sticks on the ice and then immediately
lift them they are likely to be tossed out of the face-off because it is
not fair to the other team's centreman who has remained stationary as he
is supposed to. Another
popular reason why centreman will be tossed out of a face-off is because
they are moving into the face-off in an attempt to anticipate the Linesman
dropping the puck. If a centreman is moving at a face-off he will likely be
tossed because it is not only unfair to the other team but the Linesman
has a greater chance of being hit by this player as he skates through the
face-off dot.
centreman must come in square to a face-off with one foot on each side of
the "L" lines and he should be stationary (not moving) with the tip of
the stick pointing towards the opposite end of the rink and flat on the
ice. If this does not happen
then he will likely be tossed out of the face-off circle.
Granted, Linesman like to get the play going as quickly as possible
just like the fans, so they tend to give a little leeway with this rule.
Usually as long as the centreman has his stick on the ice and in
the white part of the face-off dot with his feet in the "L" lines and
moving slightly, he will drop the puck without throwing the centreman out
of the circle.
other reason why centemen get tossed out of the face-off has to deal with
his wingers who are usually trying to get a jump on their opponents by
anticipating when the Linesman will drop the puck.
First of all, the Linesman dropping the puck is responsible for the
two centremen and for the players located in front of him.
If one of these players jumps off-side then it is his duty to toss
the centreman. On almost
every face-off, there is usually a winger from each team located behind
the Linesman dropping the puck. It
is the duty of the other Linesman that is located on the opposite side of
the ice near the blue line to enforce the encroachment rule against these
players. This is why you will sometimes hear the whistle being blown by
the linesman at the blue line. He will then point to one end of the rink
to indicate which centerman should be tossed.
you will see two centreman tossed but for the most part the Linesmen are
taught to only throw out one centreman at a time.
It sends a stronger message to the teams to stay on-side.
fact a penalty can be assessed to a team who has more than one centeman
tossed from a face-off during the same stoppage of play.
This is rarely called and it usually never gets to this point
because the Linesmen, as stated earlier, like to get the game going just
as much as the fans, so they will work extra hard to get the replacement
centreman to obey the rules of the face-off.
once again, a very natural and repeated part of the game such as face-offs
becomes something that coaches, players and fans often take for granted.
Linesmen have a lot to deal with in order to make sure that face-offs are
conducted fairly and within the rules. The reason it looks so simple and
natural is understandable – the officials make sure everything comes
together and everyone abides by the rules. Otherwise, there would be chaos
and all kinds of problems would arise.

MAJID Haq last night upstaged the county recruits as Scotland enjoyed a run feast on the opening day of their latest tour match in South Africa.
Sussex star Matt Machan, who scored a century last week, looked set to take the batting honours again with a sparkling 91. However, Clydesdale's Haq finished unbeaten on 93 as the Saltires closed on 387-9 in their three-day clash with North West Dragons.
Skipper Preston Mommsen and Middlesex all-rounder Josh Davey were also in the runs with 67 and 48 respectively, while Stoneywood's Michael Leask hit 32. Coach Pete Steindl said: "Maj showed real powers of concentration and stuck to his task. It was a fine innings with some quality shots on what was quite a dry tricky wicket to bat on."
However, Steindl added: "Three of our top six batters have made half-centuries which is pleasing, but it would have been even better if at least one of them had gone on to make a big hundred. Hopefully, the bowlers can have a good day tomorrow."
Meanwhile, Gloucestershire's Richard Coughtrie and David Murphy of Northants will share the wicket-keeping duties with one taking the gloves for the Dragons' first innings before handing them to his mate for the second.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Former University of Georgia running back Terrell Davis scored on the longest touchdown run against Kansas City in 19 years, but that couldn't stop the Chiefs from improving to 4-0 for the first time in team history.
Marcus Allen scored on a 2-yard run with 4:09 remaining Sunday to give the Chiefs a 17-14 victory over Denver in a battle of unbeaten AFC West rivals.
Like practically every score by Allen his season, his 106th rushing TD was a milestone, tying Jim Brown for second on the career list, four behind Walter Payton.
Dale Carter's lunging interception of John Elway's long pass sealed Kansas City's 12th straight AFC West victory and kept them unbeaten in regular-season home games since Denver beat them in overtime on Dec. 4, 1994.
The Chiefs overcame fine performances by Davis and Shannon Sharpe. Davis rushed for 141 yards, and Sharpe had 131 yards receiving.
Davis, a second-year running back, broke a 65-yard TD run for a 14-10 lead in the second quarter. It was the longest scoring run against Kansas City since Houston's Ron Carpenter went 77 yards in 1977.
Davis, who entered the game as the AFC's leading rusher with 320 yards, burst through a hole on the right side and outran Mark Collins and Carter, the Chiefs' fastest defender.
As Carter slowly closed the gap, Davis veered left, then veered left again, keeping just ahead him until the cornerback dragged him down in the end zone. On the previous play, Elway had scrambled 15 yards on third-and-11.
The Chiefs hadn't given up a 100-yard rushing day at home since Seattle's Chris Warren got 117 on Oct. 23, 1994.
Chiefs quarterback Steve Bono, who had been booed the previous series, brought cheers from the capacity crowd of 79,439 in the winning 67-yard drive when he hit Danan Hughes for 16 yards and Chris Penn for 18 on successive plays.
The Broncos (3-1) took the opening kickoff and burned 7:34 off the clock on a 14-play, 74-yard drive that Davis capped with a 6-yard run. Elway passed for 53 yards and converted four third downs in the march, including a third-and-10 when he hit Sharpe for 19 yards to the 31.
After Pete Stoyanovich's 37-yard field goal made it 7-3 with 57 seconds left in the first quarter, fullback Kimble Anders got loose for a 45-yard pass reception - his longest as a Chief - to key a 75-yard TD drive that gave Kansas City the lead. Anders, who went to the Pro Bowl for the first time last season, hauled in the pass on the left sideline, broke Bill Romanowski's tackle and made it all the way to the 37.
Bono hit former Bronco Reggie Johnson for 15 yards on the next play, then capped the march with an 8-yard flip to a leaping Danan Hughes in the end zone. After Jason Elam missed a 52-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter, the Chiefs appeared to be driving toward another score when Bono, on first down from the Denver 28, threw his first interception in 93 pass attempts this season. Romanowski picked off the ball on the 21, and three plays later Davis was in the end zone after his 65-yard gallop.
Two of the worst passes Elway has thrown all year preceded Stoyanovich's 37-yarder in the first quarter. Given plenty of time on second-and-15 from the Denver 35, the ball popped out of Elway's hand and went straight up in the air as his arm moved forward. On the next play, he threw a wobbly pass to safety Mark Collins, who was standing by himself in the middle of the field and returned the ball 23 yards.

Fans of The Paradise, which was filmed on the Lambton Estate near Bournmoor, have urged its makers to show a third series of the show, which was screened on BBC One.
Bosses said while it had been a success, with about six million people tuning in, it would not be recommissioning it as it made way for new dramas.
Marilyn Mudd, originally from Durham, is lobbying the BBC to change its mind.
Marilyn said: "We need people to keep signing this and the BBC know we are not going away.
"It is mainly women who watch the show in this country, but it is also seen in Russia and America, where they've only seen one series, and PBS, which shows it there, haven't said if they'll show series two yet.
"But people watch things on DVD and Netflix and other streaming channels now.
"It was never said that it would never be made again, but we might be able to sway the BBC."
The programme's storylines are based around a department store in the 1870s, with the idea inspired by an Emile Zola novel.
It was shot in Lambton Castle and at Biddick Hall, with crew, cast and extras all based in the region while it was shot.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Mobile Farmer's Market had no trouble selling its vegetables at the Linden Towers Apartments in Springfield. Maria Gonzalez told 22News if the farmers didn't bring these vegetables to where people live; many residents would be out of luck.
"Some people have no cars and they're not sued to go to the store, so It's better that they come here and they buy fresh it's what they like," said Gonzalez.
The Mobile Farmer's Market also visits places like the Saab Court Housing for the elderly, the Puerto Rican Cultural Center and the Vietnamese American Civic Association, which gives the farmers a welcome lesson in diversity.
According to Isaac Farrbank, a western Mass. farmer, "I go to one place where it's Russian ladies. I go to one place where it's a lot of Puerto Rican and Mexican population. And It's different everywhere. And each person is interested in seeing what different cultures eat and what they buy."
The Mobile Farmer's Market is on the road every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday through the end of October.
Below is their schedule:
- 10:00 A.M.-11:00 A.M. – Saab Court, 25 Saab Ct.

MACON, Ga. -- Macon has failed to meet federal air quality standards for the last two years, placing the middle Georgia city's federal highway funds in jeopardy.
Macon has been in violation of the federal Clean Air Act since the state Environmental Protection Division began monitoring air quality in 1997 in the city, about 80 miles south of Atlanta.
"We can take the hard-nosed stance that it ain't our fault," said Bibb County Commission chairman Larry Justice, who is also the chairman of the Macon Area Transportation Study.
"That's not going to solve the problem. We're going to have to start working with the EPD," he said. "We need to try to get in there and be proactive to see what can be done ... but nobody has much knowledge about what this is all about -- even about how Macon has been out of compliance."
Macon could have another problem if Gov. Roy Barnes' transportation plan gets approved by the Legislature. His plan calls for a transportation authority that would supercede the authority of local and county governments in areas of transportation planning.
The plan is aimed at the Atlanta area, which also is in violation of the Clean Air Act, but would also oversee Macon, Augusta or Savannah if those cities fell out of clean air compliance. Only Savannah is currently in compliance, according to the EPD.
Macon was out of compliance for 12 days in 1997 and 18 days last year for ozone, said the EPD, which monitors during the summer's peak ozone-producing months.
The EPD expects to be able to determine how much ozone was created by motor vehicles and how much by area industry, which includes three power plants.
If the city is out of compliance again, any road-building projects must be part of an overall pollution-reducing plan before qualifying for federal funds.
"We are giving (Macon) a very strong message," said Ron Methier, chie of the EPD's air protection branch. "Macon is going to be non-attainment ... all indications are that, even with a very clean summer, Macon will not meet the federal clean-air standards."
Any plan to improve Macon's air should include tighter controls on the area's power plants, and not consumers, said members of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, an environmental lobbyist group.
"The city of Macon needs to be pressuring Gov. Barnes and the Georgia congressional delegation to (end the power-plant exemption)," said USPIRG's Georgia energy associate Jennifer Giegerich.
Facts about ozone, the most common air pollutant and the cause of Atlanta and Macon being out of compliance with federal clean air standards:
Cause: Hydrocarbons, which are produced by combustion engines and power plants, are heated by ultraviolet rays from the sun to create the invisible gas.
Effects: Ozone, which at high elevations protects the atomosphere from the sun's rays, is a powerful lung irritant and can cause extreme breathing problems for children, asthmatics and the elderly.
Cities in Georgia out of compliance: Atlanta, Augusta, Macon.

Certain things in Iowa are predictable. I was reminded of this recently as the first major winter storm of the season was forecast. It was going to snow, most likely a lot. And, it was going to snow soon and often.
The television weather forecasters were positively giddy. They were like 5 year olds on Christmas morning. They couldn't stop smiling while they made dire predictions about monumental snow falls and the ensuing delays and cancellations. The interns at the station were forced to stand on the side of the road as cars and trucks whizzed by spraying them with road residue as they reported on the storm's impact. Programming was interrupted for the slightest weather related tidbit.
People rushed to the grocery stores to stock up on staples. Apparently there is something about a snow storm that makes you believe you will need 8 gallons of milk and 12 loaves of bread in the next 24 hours (even though you haven't used that much in the prior two months). In the words of the Boy Scouts, people wanted to be prepared.
This too shall pass. It is Iowa after all. This certainly isn't our first or last winter storm.
But this does raise a question, why isn't there a similar level of concern about the upcoming storm of baby boomer business owners retiring?
The numbers tell the story.
(1) A baby boomer business owner turns age 65 every 57 seconds. For many business owners this is not something that will happen in the future, it is happening now. (LIMRA 2010)
(2) 13% of U.S. households own privately-held businesses with a value of $12 trillion, which represents 39% of the household's net worth. A significant portion of this value will need to be converted to cash to fund the owners retirement and manage their estate planning needs. (Federal Reserve 2010)
(3) About three in five of business owners (59%) indicate their business does not have a plan to continue their business in the event of their death, disability, or retirement. (Harris Interactive 2012)
Working with a financial professional, business owners can develop a succession plan that addresses their needs. By planning ahead, they may be able to take advantage of options such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) as part of their strategy. An ESOP can also help business owners better manage their tax liabilities.
This baby boomer business owner storm will not go away. The time to prepare is now.

ACTU test case for parents in workforce
Workplace Editor
Page Tools
Record numbers of parents in employment, a growing shortage of labour and pressures on carers have paved the way for one of the most important work and family test cases since women first won maternity leave in 1979.
This week the ACTU will seek to double unpaid parental leave from 12 to 24 months in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, and to sanction the right of women to return to work part-time after having a baby.
The test case, which begins on Wednesday, will also demand that employees be allowed to "buy" up to six weeks of extra annual leave via salary sacrifice to enable parents to care for children during holidays.
Unions will also seek working time flexibility to enable parents to pick up and deliver children to school or child care, because of a rise in the numbers of families in which both parents work.
National employers and the Federal Government have resisted coming to terms with unions in the lead-up to the case, which encourages mediation. Business and government claim it is unfair for management to bear the cost of social reform because they believe balancing work and family is not their responsibility. They say workplace flexibility is best dealt with at an enterprise, rather than an industry-wide level.
ACTU president Sharan Burrow said yesterday the work and family test case was the most significant event for women and families since the 1970s when women first achieved maternity leave.
"This is an historic event," Ms Burrow said. "But we believe it's even more significant than then because the claim now affects women, men and carers - the whole family."
Ms Burrow said it was imperative that greater flexibility was built into awards so businesses and families could organise their affairs. She said productivity would improve and fertility rates would rise.
"We need flexibility to survive as a nation," she said.
Ms Burrow said data from the Bureau of Statistics showed women now made up almost half of the workforce - up from 26 per cent 25 years ago.
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry workplace relations spokesman, Peter Anderson, told a recent workplace conference that the changes proposed by the ACTU tried to reverse the onus of proof, forcing employers to show why they could not offer flexible arrangements rather than workers demonstrating that they needed them.
Mr Anderson told the conference that businesses supported enterprise agreements rather than an industry-wide approach. He said it was wrong to conclude that most workers wanted extra time to look after families when many were trying to maximise income.
Mr Anderson said the commission, which would rule on minimum standards, not best practice, would examine 30 witnesses supporting the employers' case and 34 backing the unions.

Last night's Categorically Not! – Inside Out event was just great. The three topics contrasted really nicely, were very well presented as individual topics in their own right, and there were resonances between the different topics through the main umbrella theme – "Inside Out".
Science writers Sandy Blakeslee and her son Matt Blakeslee did a sort of tag team presentation, taking turns to build up several aspects of the subject (covered in their new book "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own") of one's sense of self and that all-so-important division between inside (ourself) and outside (the rest of the universe) that we make with our minds. It's very dynamic, of course – you extend it a lot when you use tools, from a fork when eating to the car you're driving in (everyone grunted in recognition when Sandy mentioned how you have the instinct to duck when driving under a low ceiling in a parking garage….). One of the things that I think resonated most with the audience is the description of the work on showing how many celebrated "out of body" experiences that people get have a foundation in neurobiology, resulting from interfering with the part of the brain that helps create the maps of the world that include the location of our place in it. Similar effects can disrupt the construction of the sense of self self-worth and well-being. Here's a New York Times article Sandy wrote on some of this. (I recall another NYT article from longer ago, but can't find it yet.)
Mathematician Danny Calegari gave a rather nice description of some of the things you might stumble upon in asking questions about the difference between inside and outside in a mathematical context, motivating rather nicely some aspects of the study of topology. He showed some simple diagrams, arriving very skillfully at the idea of a topological "invariant". He then went on to give some examples of how you can change one space into another space (if they have the same invariant), and how you can't (if they don't have the same invariant). (The clickable images left shows how to turn a certain squiggle into a straight line as a result of them having the same invariant – you can get rid of the kinks without creasing the curve.) That you can't turn a circle inside out in two dimensions (without such creases) while you can turn a two-sphere inside out in three dimensions was his final example. I recently showed you a video describing these last two examples, by the way. A major point of resonance with some of the audience (it was remarked) was that in his explanations, various concepts involved adopting different points of view to build up the whole picture – for example, the winding number of a curve from an observer at a given point can be thought of in terms of how many times your head has to turn around in watching a driver doing a circuit of the curve. People seemed to like that a lot, interestingly – getting something considered so mathematically precise from something that seems so everyday. I was rather pleased that people could see that it is not so big a leap from the everyday to interesting mathematics.
(A provocative remark that he made at one point was (I paraphrase) "Mathematics can be a bit like 20th Century Literature – there's a lot of playing of games". Well, the author Aimee Bender happened to be sitting next to me, so I could not resist leaning over and mischievously suggesting that she register her objection during the question and answer session. She smiled and said "Well, there's some truth to it". I nodded, and thought about telling her that from a pure mathematician, "playing of games" is not at all a derogatory remark, but decided that she probably knew that, especially since her last novel "An Invisible Sign of My Own" was in large part about the pleasure of mathematics.)
Artist, playwright and theatre director Nancy Keystone brought some of the actors from the Critical Mass Performance Group with her to talk about aspects of inside and outside in acting and performance. She spoke about how they develop pieces collaboratively, with lots of spontaneity and improvisations in building on a specific concept, often by internalizing a given idea and then expressing it (letting the context help shape the expression), or internalizing an aspect of something external for later use. (Later on in the questions and answers, one of the actors, Chris Shaw, talked a bit about how actors sometimes invoke feelings during a performance by drawing on something they'd internalized from elsewhere (he used the example (both humourous and serious) of the death of a pet dog). Also in the questions and answers, Sandy Blakeslee mentioned the fact that actors are aided in their craft by the audience's system of mirror neurons when they evoke various feelings (sympathetic reactions and empathy) in their performances.)
Nancy used as her primary example some scenes from the upcoming Apollo (Part 3: Liberation) which has as its subject matter several intriguingly woven together elements, including the Apollo space program, Nazi Germany, Jules Verne, the Civil Rights Movement, Slavery, Cotton, and much more. In the photo you can see her (by way of illustration) working with the actors (Chris Shaw, Angie Browne, and Valerie Spencer) to invoke various emotional responses to pieces of cotton as it takes on various properties. I'll be talking more about this fascinating piece later. I was lucky enough to go to a 15 minute preview/extract from it a couple of months ago (alongside several other pieces in an intriguing late-night showcase to theatre program directors near downtown) but never found time to blog about the event. There's a new showing and workshop coming up soon that I hope to go to later on and so I will try to report.
The evening ended with some questions and answers and also comments. This included, in addition to questions and comments from the audience, the sharing and exchanging of ideas between the different presenters (I've given examples above). I also added a comment about the work of Charles F. Stevens (I've talked about it here before) in response to a comment and a question about connecting the worlds of biology and mathematics in this context – his work on quantifying and modeling aspects of the architecture of our brains and making sense of (for example) the structure of the visual cortex in terms of the tasks it must perform (forming an accurate representation or map of the visual world) seemed relevant. (See references at this page by scrolling down.)

We received the Sapphire HD 5570 1GB DDR3 PCI-E VGA/DVI-I/DP, SKU: 11167-04-40R in a large box that Sapphire uses for HD 5000 series, only this time with another picture. The front shows flagship features like ATI Eyefinity multi-display support, DisplayPort and DVI, DirectX 11 support, ATI Stream, PCI-E 2.0, CrossFireX, LP bracket, 1024MB of DDR3 memory and SimHD plug-in for ArcSoft.
The back of the box is pretty uninteresting; you'll find some specs listed.
Within the box is another box that keeps the card from potential damage in transport. All the paper used is recyclable.
As is usual with cheaper cards, the card doesn't come with a free game, but Sapphire conveniently included two low profile I/O panels that can be used instead of the standard panel. The reason is that the original panel might not fit into your HTCP case, and it shows that Sapphire thought it out pretty well. The additional panel with an opening for a VGA connector can be mounted in the free slot next to the card. The VGA connector is connected with a cable so routing it to the next slot is not a problem.

Endpoint Discovery & Management
Network Authentication
If you're like most network security professionals, you probably spend a lot of time putting out fires. Most companies are hit hundreds of times a day by network threats.
The right tools can allow you to be proactive, rather than reactive. The Beacon suite makes this kind of environment feasible – enabling your team to address:
With any threat, understanding what was affected and where the event occurred is paramount to deter damage. The Beacon product suite gives you visibility into attacks, allowing for easy and abrupt incident response. The technology monitors the behavior of every single device attached to the network in real-time and provides an instant alert if any device starts behaving out of character.
Also, new endpoints will no longer be able to attach to your company infrastructure without detection. If a threat arises, technology administrators can easily bounce a device off the network or automatically limit access until the endpoint is looked into.
Our technology is the first place our clients look to locate an endpoint when troubleshooting. Having time-based information allows you to see where the problem originated and where the machine is now. This technology also gives you information about what type of device it is, what operating system it's running on and how the device is behaving. This is critical to fast, effective incident response.
Visit our product page to learn about the technology that powers incident response.

The texture of a Rhino without the weight
Being a gym teacher, I have seen equipment come and go but I think these dodge-balls are here to stay. Before acquiring those balls my students used pink rubber balls to play dodge ball They were easy to throw but getting hit by them was painful (especially for the younger kids). Now even my kindergartners can get hit without fear of getting hurt.
These balls are soft enough to to hit a child without fearing injury, yet dense enough to be thrown across the gym. Filled with foam and air, they can be squashed to a pancake and take back their forms without a few seconds. The texture of the calls makes it easy for even the tiniest hands to grab firmly.
They come in six different colors including yellow, red, green, blue, purple and orange (a black version of the ball can be ordered on it's own). I have about 30 6 1/4 inch ones and 6 of the super special series that are about twice the size of the dodge-balls. Other than the weight and size the balls are pretty much the same (See picture bellow).
I use the balls mainly for dodge ball but also when practicing manipulation with the kids (one of the 8 main themes evaluated for phys. ed in my province) that way they can all have material without me fearing them getting hurt.
Even tho I use and enjoy them, they are not perfect. After having the smaller balls for over a year now, some of the ones we use regularly are starting to loose some firmness. It is like the foam inside some of the balls has shrunken slightly while the outer skin has not. Nothing major as only a select few balls are affected but still a minor incontinence. A few balls have also been pierced but that doesn't seem to affect the usability of the balls (as long as the students don't start picking at them that is).
The Price Tag
Reasonably priced, the dodge balls go for about 9.99$ a ball or 64.99$ for a set of 6 colors and I believe I paid 126.99 for a set of 6 of the bigger ones. Not to bad considering I will be using them for quite a few years and on a weekly basis.

Alison - posted on 08/20/2009 ( 35 moms have responded )
I nursed my first son for three months, everything was going really well and then I took him for his three month check up and the doctor was shocked to see that he had lost a dramatic amount of weight. So after spending a week in a childrens hospital and countless needles poking him and all kinds of tests run on him, they diagnosid him with "faliure to thrive" brought on by a small internal mouth deformation. Allthough the doctors told me that there was no way I could have known that he had a problem because I was a very gradual progression I still felt like the worst mom in the world , and in return lost all confidence with my self when it came to nursing. When I had my second son I was determined to give it another try, convinced that I was more educated on what specsific problems to look for. It only took 3 days of nursing and some pleeding from my husband to just start him on formula for me to loose all hope again, mainly because both my husband and I were scared to death about what happened to our first son. Looking back I wish I hadn't caved under the pressure and fear. So now here I am 4 years after my first sons hospitalization and expecting our 3rd baby anyday now. I really do want to try nursing again, but I feel like I have no confidence in my self and that I am lacking support from my husband and the rest of my family. Everyone keeps reminding me of what happened the first time and they all seem to have writen breastfeeding off as a non option, any advise on how I should handle this, and has any one else ever suffered a similar experience?

Hi Anita, I've been meaning to comment this for a while. Last year in your blog survey I mentioned that I found it hard to read the text when it was attached to the pictures, as it was smaller. I just wanted to let you know that I had noticed you changed it and to say thank you very much, I find it much easier to read now.ReplyDelete
jen dot barnard at btinternet dot comReplies
I remember that comment and I absolutely changed what I was doing because of it. :) That was a great piece of advice that I didn't even realize until you mentioned it. I was going through some old posts recently and realized that most of the tutorial was written in the photo captions instead of the main text (oops!) so I fixed that on the older post too. Thanks for that great comment!Delete

Ironring is right. We can't condone sharing copy written material, especially when the books are still in print (although expensive). Besides, the books are for the most part excellent (at least the ones that I own are). Most of the articles are re-prints, but they are an excellent hodgepodge of some of the best articles published in the magazine.
However, there's nothing wrong with reaching out to fellow enthusiasts privately to see if they may be willing to loan you their copy of the book. Then you can send PM's back and forth to work out the logistics. Just a thought for future requests.
But it sounds like you found a copy, so good work. Keep us posted with pics of how the pantograph turns out!
NOTE: I'm a single dad working two full-time jobs as a web developer and college instructor. So if it takes me a few days to respond please don't take it personally. If it's urgent please send me a Private Message.

text: In Vanilla I was part of and lead one of those strict guilds, and it was fun for a while when learning MC, BWL, and the rest up to Naxx since online guides and strats really were not that common. You really needed to focus to figure out how to beat them, even though they were simple raids compared to now. But today attitudes are different, and guilds need to recognize this. If they did they would not be on forums complaining about how Blizzard needs to do something to save them from themselves.

The Leader's Report: Week of February 12, 2007
For Immediate Release:
February 16, 2007
Contact Info:
Last November, the voters sent a resounding message that they desire a new direction for America. This week, the Congress demonstrated that we have the collective will to send a message of our own. On Friday, the House passed a bipartisan resolution expressing our disapproval of the President's plan to send an additional 21,000 combat troops to Iraq - sending a strong message to the Administration that this Congress is not going to sit idly by while failing policies in Iraq put our national security at risk.
The People's House also reached consensus on a small business tax relief package that will hopefully pave the way for the first increase in the minimum wage in more than ten years. As one of our first orders of business, the House passed a minimum wage increase, because if you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to be able to get ahead in this land of opportunity. Thanks to the compromise forged by the House Ways and Means Committee this week, we are now one step closer to making the goal of an increase in the minimum wage a reality. I believe that the passage of the small business tax relief package demonstrates what this Congress is capable of when we put aside partisan politics and come together to make progress for the American people.
With kind personal regards, I am
|Sincerely yours,
Majority Leader Hoyer's Statement in Support of the Iraq Resolution
On Tuesday, Majority Leader Hoyer spoke on the House Floor in favor of the Iraq Resolution.

Earlier this week, Representatives Shadegg and Hoekstra sent a Dear Colleague letter, telling Republicans, "If we let Democrats force us into a debate on the surge or the current situation in Iraq, we lose."

Money can seem complicated sometimes. Mortgages, car loans, interest rates, saving for retirement – it's a lot to take in for some.
We all make mistakes with our money at some point but it's important to focus on the big things – if you keep it simple and get the major things right then the small things seem even smaller.
Here's a few simple money rules that are so simple they often get overlooked.
Pay Yourself First
This one is obvious, maybe so obvious that many people forget about it. Paying yourself first guarantees that you'll have money set aside each month for an emergency fund, investing or paying down debt.
Related: Putting Your Emergency Cash Savings to Work
When I first entered the workforce I didn't know what my investing strategy would be, but I knew that putting money aside automatically each month would help my cause.
I set up an automatic withdrawal each month with my bank so that $400 per month gets put into my RRSP account. This strategy kills two birds with one stone – it gives me some money to invest in my RRSP and it also creates a tax deduction when I do my tax return, which usually generates a tax refund.
It's simple to set up and once it's set up you don't even have to think about it, the money just comes out each month automatically.
I'll be honest, if I had to think about putting that money aside each month it probably wouldn't happen – which is why making it automatic is so important.
Don't Move Often
As consumers we are constantly exposed to plenty of ads convincing us that a bigger, better house is something we should strive for and should eventually try to achieve.
To accomplish that many companies sell the idea of a "move up" house – a house that is big enough for now, but further down the road you will want to sell and move to a bigger home when you have kids, start a family, etc.
The problem with this idea is that moving costs much more than you think – realtor fees, storage costs, the cost of the physical move, mortgage penalties, legal costs, etc. – all of these can take a serious bite out of the equity in your home.
Related: How to Reduce Your Mortgage Penalty
No one can time the market perfectly so our strategy is to buy a home that is large enough to last us 10-15 years (or more). When we bought our house I didn't want to get caught in a situation of having to sell in a down market so I made sure our house would last us for the long term.
Buying a place that you can afford and can stay in for a long time – it's a simple way to protect the equity built up in your home and avoid all the hidden costs with moving.
Investing: Less is More
Some investors think the more they trade, the more successful they will become. Research has shown that the opposite is true. The more someone is actively involved in their investments (buying, selling and even day trading) the lower their chances of success.
With this in mind my investment strategy is simple – buy when prices are low and hold for the long term. I can't time the market and I won't need the money right away so there isn't much point to selling in most cases.
As Warren Buffett once said, if you aren't comfortable holding a stock for 10 years you shouldn't even think about owning it for 10 minutes.
I tend to agree with him on this one and I think the less an investor tries to time the market, the greater the chances of success.
Be Realistic About Vehicles
Car dealers love when the economy is going well – workers receive bonuses, many are promoted and consumers generally have more spending money. Some people feel more income should be spent on vehicles, and they feel your vehicle should reflect your 'status' in society.
Personally I think consumers should spend significantly less than they can afford on vehicles. Whether it's making due with one vehicle instead of two, avoiding the temptation to trade in your car every 3 years or simply choosing other forms of transportation – all are smart money choices.
Vehicles are much more expensive to run than most realize, and just because someone receives a raise at work doesn't mean they need to immediately get a nicer vehicle. In fact, it would be a better money decision if they did the opposite – either downgrading their vehicle for something more economical or just driving less.
Conclusion: money doesn't have to be complicated – get the 'big picture' things right and the money will take care of itself. Simple money rules like not moving too often, riding out the market cycles and paying yourself first are easy to forget but effective.
What simple money rules do you live by?

DIY Pizza oven
This is an account of how I built the outdoor pizza oven here at EcoDIY. The oven has been a great success for us. We use waste wood from pallets or the thin branches that are too small for the wood stove and have cooked the best pizzas I have ever tasted as well as a range of cakes, stews, bread, and puddings and all without a penny spent on fuel.
I always start a project by gathering the materials and tools I will need. In this case all the materials were free (recycled) except for the cement and the pizza paddles. We used:
• About 200 ordinary clay house bricks (recycled from a skip is fine).
• Something to build the base to build the oven on (to save your back when cooking)
Recycled concrete blocks are good or you can build walls from broken concrete and fill with rubble or soil topped with a thin layer of concrete.
• Sand and cement for the mortar, a little Builder's lime is good as well though not essential.
• A piece of cardboard such as part of a large box, the dimensions of the inside of the oven, to make a template. Our oven is 550mm diameter by 380mm high inside.
• A chain or heavy piece of rope to mark out the curve on the cardboard template
(see photo).
• Something to cut bricks with i.e. hammer and masonry chisel (or bolster) or an electric disk cutter.
• A bricklayer's trowel, shovel and a level.
• A piece of scrap metal flu pipe about 100mm to 150mm in diameter and a meter long for the chimney.
• A short piece of bed iron (angle iron) about 500mm long to go above the door.
• A piece of scrap steel sheet about 400mmmm by 240mm for the door (from the casing of an old central heating boiler or washing machine etc). A length of galvanized fencing wire or suchlike, a metal handle or door knob.
• Two Tava pans bought from an Asian supermarket get them on the internet at www.theasiancookshop.co.uk for £8 each/ or use old frying pans. The wooden pan handles are replaced with long metal pipes to make them safer and easy to handle.
Building the base
Our oven had a base about one meter in diameter and 600mm high. We built our base out of recycled concrete blocks (we demolished a garage on the building plot next door) and leveled it off with cement. We picked a spot near the kitchen, but bear in mind that there will be smoke!
Making the cardboard template (to guide you as you lay the bricks)
We made the inside of our oven to a catenary curve as this is the strongest shape for this kind of dome. To make this shape, stand your cardboard up and hang a chain with the ends of the chain the width of the inside of the oven apart and the bottom of the loop the height of the inside of the oven down. In my case the width was 550mm and the height 380mm. Get your friend to draw round the chain and then cut on the line to make the template. This will guide you as you lay the courses of bricks making your oven's dome.
Building the Oven
The first part of the oven is a circular floor of bricks; try and lay the bricks close together with no mortar between them and make your floor as level as possible. The ideal mortar for the oven is six parts of sand to one part of cement and one part builder's lime. If you can't get builders lime use a three parts of sand to one part cement instead. A little washing up liquid added to the mix helps to make the mortar easier to use.
The width of our oven door was 320mm and was set by measuring the oven trays we were going to use (keeping the door as small as possible makes the oven stronger). The wall of the oven is 9 inches thick (the length of a brick) and the bricks are laid radially keeping the mortar away from the hot inside face (the bricks will stand the heat but the mortar won't like it). Lay the first 3 courses of brick leaving a gap for the door. You can cut the bricks for a snug fit but if not fill the gaps between the bricks with broken brick to save mortar.
Next wedge the cardboard template into place and carry on laying the bricks to make the dome (lay bricks touching the cardboard edge). Move the template round to give you the shape of the dome as you build.
Mortar the angle iron door lintel in place above the fourth course of bricks.
The last ring of bricks holds the flue pipe in place. Put the pipe in situ and lay the bricks tightly up to it. Finish around the pipe with a ring of mortar. A coil of fencing wire makes useful reinforcing when buried in the mortar around the pipe.
The door is made from a piece of scrap steel sheet with an old metal handle (we used a door knob.) bolted on. Thick leather gloves are essential when handling the door or the cooking pans
Using the oven
We burn our stove for about one and a half to two hours to heat up the bricks. The embers are then scraped to the sides and we can start to cook. We cover the chimney flue with a tin can to stop the draft. We cook a series of dishes in each session; starting with something that needs a very hot oven, pizzas are ideal as they cook in as little as 2 minutes when the stove is at full heat. We start the dough at about the time we light the oven. We can then use the remaining pizza dough to make bread rolls or small loaves. These cook after the pizzas in about 20 to 25 minutes. As the oven cools we then cook a cake, flapjack or baked potatoes (wrapped in foil). If the oven cools down too much you can light a fire again for a short time (about 15 minutes) and go on as before.
We celebrated our new bread oven with a pizza party.

I want to share today my darling Christmas cards that I made for my grandson and granddaughter that feature the Stampin Up Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die.
When I make cards for my grandchildren, I make them exactly the same. I don't want one of them to think my affection for the other is different, which it isn't. I love my grandchildren so immensely! I wish the love that every child receives could be equivalent to or more than my intense love for my children and grandchildren.
Now, let me share information about the cards. The primary papers used are the Red Glimmer and Silver Glimmer Papers. The insides of the cards (text covered) feature a design from the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, and include more Red Glimmer Paper.
I left the inside top of the Stampin Up holiday stocking's toe unglued so I could insert a gift.
The back side of the cards features the same design from the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper.
