Thanks Terra. Does he remember any of the other information he read, just curious? I'm of course still interested in what he dug up- and even more so that it was taken down. It sounds like something rather big he stumbled upon.

November 4, 2002
CLEVELAND -- Even during the darkest moments, there wasn't a moment this season when the Steelers considered throwing in the Terrible Towel.
"There are 52 guys in there that saved the season," said Pittsburgh quarterback Tommy Maddox, who has led a turnaround from an 0-2 start. "We have a lot of season left, but I can't say enough about the guys in this locker room."
Maddox threw two touchdowns and Amos Zereoue ran for a career-high 111 yards Sunday as the Steelers rallied from an early deficit to beat Cleveland 23-20.
With their fourth straight win, the Steelers took command of the weak AFC North. They're 4-0 in the division and have beaten their biggest rival the past five times and 12 of the past 14.
Dennis Northcutt had an 87-yard punt return for a touchdown to put the Browns ahead 7-0 in the first quarter. After a Todd Peterson field goal, Cleveland went up 14-3 on a 1-yard score from Tim Couch to tight end Steve Heiden.
But Pittsburgh swarmed Couch all afternoon and limited Cleveland to 193 yards -- 36 rushing -- and nine first downs.
And when the Steelers had the ball, they kept it. Pittsburgh's time of possession was 42:18 and the Steelers ran 85 plays to the Browns' 42. Cleveland also had 11 penalties.
"We showed a lot of character," said receiver Hines Ward, who had nine catches for 79 yards and a touchdown. "We've done that all year."
Maddox, 4-1 since replacing Kordell Stewart as the starter, threw scores in the second quarter to Ward and tight end Mark Bruener to rally the Steelers.
Zereoue, making his second start filling in for the injured Jerome Bettis, had the best game of his four-year career. The 5-foot-8, 207-pounder made holes when there weren't any, broke tackles and helped the Steelers kill time in the fourth quarter.
With the Steelers up 23-14, Couch hooked up with Quincy Morgan on a 31-yard score with 4:32 left. Cleveland forced a punt and had a final chance with 57 seconds left. But the Browns were out of timeouts and pinned against their end zone, and couldn't move the ball.

Denver-based Forest Oil Corp. and closely held Sabine Oil & Gas LLC revised the terms of their merger agreement so that Sabine will now be acquired by Forest, rather than Forest merging with a Sabine unit.
The natural gas and liquids exploration company also adopted a shareholder rights plan, also known as a poison pill, with a 5 percent trigger on shareholders who have shorted the company's debt. Forest said it was worried investors with short positions in the company's debt securities could attempt to negatively influence or manipulate the merger vote in an effort to drive down the company's debt prices.
The combined entity will still be headquartered in Houston.
The deal between Forest and the Houston-based Sabine is expected to create one of east Texas' biggest forces with presences in the Eagle Ford and Permian shale plays.
The revised structure doesn't alter the economic terms of the all-stock transaction. When the deal is completed, current Forest shareholders will own about 26.5 percent interest in the combined business — the same as under the original contract.
The previous deal combined Forest and Sabine under a newly formed public holding company, in which Forest shareholders would have received 0.1 shares of the holding company for each share of Forest common stock.
But under the newly agreed upon terms, Sabine Investor Holdings LLC and a related investment entity will contribute their interests in Sabine Oil & Gas to Forest in exchange for Forest common and preferred stock.
That move would make Sabine Oil & Gas a wholly owned unit of Forest, with Sabine's investor entities holding common and preferred shares in Forest representing a 73.5 percent economic interest in the new company.

Cool Parody
I did not find it too be extremely funny, but as a salad fingers fan i smiled. But the reason i ranked it so high was your art. It is very very very very detailed. Thats good. Personally, I think you should have finished it before you put it up though. That kind of spoiled it. But you did an overall great job.
*thumbs up*
I don't understand why some people are saying this is crap, they obviously can't have seen Salad Fingers itself. I liked the graphics, the sound needs improving, it wasn't bad but the voice of Salad Fingers needs to have a more eerie, more breathy effect I think. Overall I think you've done a good job, I hope you finish it soon!
that wasn't that bad. It was pretty good, actually. I didn't expect it to be so good. Nice job
quite allright
This was...rather good. I myself are a HUGE salad fingers fan, so i couldn't just egnore this now could i? haha. As i said, this was rather good, what you need to think about though is the voice...it's not that it wasn't good, it's just that i think it lacks of british accent, and it is somehow...not disturbing...not as psychedelic. If you could get the real voice, the voice actor of salad fingers, then this movie would be...almost as great as salad fingers, the real deal! you'll get a 3 from me, chap!
you'll only find this ammusing if u like other parodys of SF

Could be a MV chassis, can't tell for sure by the picture. Could also be a special use tractor chassis. Wide front looks like a special manufacture or a good job by the end user on the front axle drops. Wide front parts are newer than a M or MV tractor. Its not a original MV type wide front. Look at the serial plate, rear drops (gear or chain drive) or the gear shift location to tell or get a idea if its a MV chassis.

There was silence this Wednesday night on Canadian Idol. The competitors fidgeted nervously and the audience held their breath as Ben opened the results of this week's votes. Aaron Walpole was eliminated. Aaron was a favourite in the competition not only because of his powerful voice, but also because of his lovable personality. He is an actor and always brought commendable theatrics to his performances.
The night began with the usual Idol medley. Next, special guests Jacob Hoggard and his band Hedley performed the single "On My Own" from their debut self titled album. Jacob was full of energy and even got the judges smiling. Jacob kissed Ben and it was on to the results.
When the judges were asked about the remaining contestants, Zack told Aaron, "Dude you can sing. The work you did on this show was unbelievable." Aaron thanked his fans before his video rolled. He sounded confident, saying, "I know this is just the beginning so watch out for my CDs." Aaron's fabulous voice filled the theatre one last time and the audience erupted in cheers. Aaron will be missed by millions of Canadians around the country.
Melissa and Rex continue the journey in next week's performance show and the season finale. They will each sing the single that the winner will record, a song of their choice and a judge's pick. Special guests will include last season's Idol Kalan Porter, runner-up Theresa Sokyrka, and the Barenaked Ladies. Tune in to see the final two compete for this year's title!

Brian McAlister, 30, surrendered to Metro police Thursday morning after allegedly providing police with his brother's identity following Wednesday's fatal wreck on Myatt Drive.
McAlister, according to police, was driving on the wrong side of the road just before his vehicle crashed head-on into a vehicle driven by Glenn E. Davis, 64, of Hendersonville, who died in the crash.
McAlister, of Greenbrier, is charged with identity theft, driving with a revoked license and filing a false report. Police said he told them he didn't know why he was driving on the wrong side of the road and that he may have been asleep at the wheel. He originally gave police the name of his younger brother.
Barbara Davis, 62, was in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
According to police, there was no evidence of drug or alcohol involvement in the crash. McAlister was booked into Davidson County jail this morning. His bond was set at $35,000.
The district attorney's office and police will decide whether to charge McAlister with additional crimes relating to the crash.

Formidable Kildare brush Laois aside to reach Leinster under-21 final
Comprehensive 24 point win for Lilywhites
Laois's Shane Murphy tussles with Kildare's Liam McGovern during last night's Leinster U-21 clash at Parnell Park. Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho
Kildare sounded out a warning to their rivals last night as they booked their place in the Leinster Under-21 football final after a comprehensive 24-point win over Laois in Parnell Park.
Laois had opened the scoring with a point from Evan Costello, but Kildare were quickly back level through a free from Liam McGovern.
After that, however, the Lilywhites began to assert their superiority.
Tommy Moolick and Seán Hurley were dominating in midfield and, with a plentiful supply of ball, the Kildare attack helped their side into a 0-4 to 0-1 lead after just ten minutes.
Laois offered brief resistance, but points from Fionn Dowling, Paddy Brophy and Sean Hurley saw Kildare ease 0-11 to 0-5 in front at the break.
Kildare got the start to the second half that Laois needed, as a run of five unanswered points was followed up by two goals in a minute from Fergal Conway and Daniel Flynn. The final result was left in little doubt at that stage, but Hugh Mahon's goal merely added to Laois's misery as Kildare eased to a comfortable win.

Change Mind sear to spread all dots to enemies within 25 yards That would help out. Hell mages have the dot spread heh
That's not viable man, although I would love to see a spreadable weaker, non-proccing dot, recovering 0.2% max HP for every tick that dot does. [up to 10 targets max on the recovering].
Get rid of Vamp Embrace in the process.
Looks like the Mind Sear mastery procs got bugfixed:

Stack more VT if you're having mana problems, if you have 4-5 rolling you will not run OOM.
Base Regen = -.4% mana / sec
MBender = -0.28 mana / sec
1 VT = -.63% mana / sec
MS = 0.75% mana / sec
MD = 0.87% mana / sec
Mind Sear and Mass Dispel combined cost 1.62% mana per second. Base Regen + Mindbender give 0.68% mana per second. You need to make up 0.94% mana with VT, which you can easily do with two.
If you incorporate MB into the rotation, you need to add another VT.

{[( )]}
two VT's is almost always enough, unless you aren't on CC duty for the fight. you can still use mindbender (and get VT mana from previously cast DoTs) while running around and CCing/clicking amber prisons, but you can't lose mana from mindsear doing these things.
if you aren't on CC duty for the fight, you can just VT all the active adds if your mana gets to 30% or something. it's not a dps increase to use VT on this fight, and you use very little mana once the add phase is finished, so there's no reason to keep your mana at 90%+ at all times or whatever.
Used a pot for the first add phase, coupled with ToF. Peaked at 365k DPS with Mind Sear. Yes, it was buffed.
yeah, i just got around to doing meljarak this week and the results are pretty absurd:
my previous best was like 135k or so... and it was so much easier. let my mana get too low at the end of the adds phase because i was lolling too hard at how much dps i was doing just pressing mindsear. so nice not being complete gimpy trash on stacked aoe now.
if only they'd buff power infusion so that we have an actual 'cooldown' for pure single target fights. IMO it could be fixed pretty much entirely by either adding a +shadow damage done component to it, or having it reduce mindblast's cooldown by like 4-5 seconds during PI. or they could just make mindflay crits reduce fiend/bender cooldown again (by 3 and 1 seconds respectively) and give us a cool synergistic reason to go for crit as well as cast mindflay.
I had our warrior complaining at how high my aoe dps was last raid. Happy days.

Poised for takeoff: airships changing transportation game in Canada.
Whenever someone engages Stephen Newton in a discussion about airships, the conversation takes an inevitable turn.
"I get the Hindenburg question all the time," chuckled Newton, director of business development for Quebec-based Discovery Air Innovations (DAI). "What I get is, 'Are we going to have these big flaming balls of stuff flying around?'" He's referring, of course, to the 1937 Hindenburg disaster in which the German-built airship crashed into its landing base in New Jersey, killing 35 people and effectively halting airship travel as a viable method of passenger transport.
But decades later, companies like DAI, a private air transport company, are revisiting airship technology as an efficient, cost-effective mode of transport for everything from tourism to resource exploration to delivering supplies to remote Northern communities.
"There is some NIMBYism," Newton said. "But once people realize how environmentally friendly they are and what an efficient means of transportation they are, and how they're going to change people's lives, it completely changes the end picture."
The new generation of dirigibles is nothing like its predecessors. Shaped like giant, inflatable plane wings, hybrid air vehicles (HAV) are heavier than air, so once resting on the ground, they don't need to be tied down to prevent them floating away, eliminating the need for ground support.
The HAV, which measures 119 metres (390 feet) by 35 metres (160 feet) by 35 metres (120 feet), can lift 50 tonnes and carry the cargo 5,000 km, staying airborne for up to 10 days. It's limited to flying 85 knots (150 km/hour), and most flights will be below 3,000 feet to avoid strong winds, but with a hovercraft-type landing system, the HAV can land on everything from snow to muskeg to ice without need of a runway,
Whereas the Hindenburg-style airships of the 20th century got their buoyancy from hydrogen, the new ships are comprised of a 5 mm-thick, multi-layered fabric filled with helium, an inert gas that displaces oxygen and has fire-extinguishing capabilities, Newton noted. Propulsion comes from four 2,400-horsepower gas turbine engines.
"The ideas that people have come up with to use it and do things with it are absolutely amazing," said Newton, a 28-year veteran of the Canadian Forces who formerly piloted Sea King helicopters. "It's really encouraging because it shows that the innovation mode is out there and alive, and people are thinking about ways to do stuff smarter."
Top of mind is resource exploration, which can run mining companies billions of dollars in infrastructure costs. Smaller plays could become economically viable, because staff and supplies could be flown in on an airship, and the resource itself could be concentrated on site and flown out, Newton suggested.
HAVs have also been suggested as a feasible, year-round method of getting much-needed supplies into remote northern and First Nations communities. Newton said preliminary DAI numbers counted 28 communities in Northern Ontario with seasonal access whose basic needs--heating fuel, groceries, medical attention--could be met by one 50-tonne HAV, bringing down the cost of those amenities considerably.
Newton has even been approached by those interested in the possibilities for using HAVs in tourism. The 17,000-square-foot cargo bay could easily be transformed into cabins, a dining area and a viewing platform for multi-day tours. Newton envisions tourists taking part in whale-watching tours while hovering 40 feet above the ocean, or trips around the Arctic and into the Northwest Passage.
"Eco-tourism wise, when you read all the accounts of the early users of airships in the Arctic, they found it a superb observation platform," Newton said. "It's very relaxing, there's no noise, no vibration and it's a nice stable flight. It's not pressurized so your ears aren't constantly plugging, you've got lots of viewing capability and you can have a dining car."
Modern-day airship technology has been researched for decades, particularly by the U.S. Army, which has already tested prototypes of a cousin of the HAV, the long-endurance, multi-intelligence vehicle (LEMV), which has been developed for surveillance purposes.
The research and development done by the army means the cost of development for private companies like DAI is brought down considerably, bringing commercial production closer to reality, Newton said.
Getting the technology into commercial production is still a few years off, but Newton said DAI wants to have its first prototype flying and ready for certification and testing by late 2013 or early 2014, with the first ship going into production by 2015.
Before DAI gets to that point, the company must first address some challenges. Testing must be completed to see how the HAV will operate in cold, Canadian climates. Newton doesn't foresee a problem, however, since the ships are designed to operate in a variable of minus 55 to plus 55 degrees Celsius.
There will also have to be some regulatory changes through Transport Canada, such as a training certification process, since there are only currently three airship captains in Canada. But that dialogue has already been started, Newton said, to prepare for the coming changes.
When the changes do come, it's going to put an entirely different spin on transportation in this country, he added.
"It is such a game changer," he said. "It is not an incremental step in the transportation infrastructure. It is a radical alteration in the way that we think of doing business."
"I get the Hindenburg question all the time. What I get is, 'Are we going to have these big flaming balls of stuff flying around?'"

After participating in Girls on the Run for two seasons, SGWS 7th grader, Sarah Caley, is becoming a Junior Coach to give back to the organization that gave her a great community experience. Sarah is a Junior Coach for the Girls on The Run (GOTR) team at Old Trail school in Bath.
According to the GOTR Cleveland/Akron Newsletter:
"Old Trail Coach Lisa Meranti said that Sarah is an awesome runner and brings that enthusiasm to practice every day. 'Not only is Sarah already in tune with the Girls on the Run message, but she is also able to share that positive energy with the girls on the team," Lisa said. "Sarah is an incredible role model for these girls. She is confident, enjoys the good things about life, makes wise decisions, is able to communicate her wants and needs and lives a healthy and active lifestyle. Basically, Sarah is a Girl on the Run!'"
In that same newsletter Sarah shares: "The GOTR lessons that really struck me the most were the ones about how to be your own person and how no one can force you to do or believe anything you don't want to. I love seeing all these young girls gain a better understanding of life and how to present themselves." Sarah said.

Avril Lavigne has fueled rumors she is set to split from husband Deryck Whibley after a series of solo nights out in New York.
Lavigne and Whibley married in 2006 but were targeted by split speculation just two years later after a U.S. tabloid reported they were on the verge of divorce.
Whibley denied the rumors at the time, insisting he had been spending a lot of time away from his wife while he toured Asia with his band, Sum 41.
But Lavigne has attracted speculation once again after partying in the company of male admirers in Southampton, N.Y., last weekend, with insiders telling the New York Daily News a divorce for the Canadian stars is imminent.
A source tells the publication, "She wanted to get away from Deryck and have a weekend to herself."
The allegations leave plans for Lavigne's forthcoming album in the air, as rocker Whibley had previously announced he will collaborate with her on the CD, slated for release in November.

that provides high reliability in other utilities, like the phone system, is still being deployed in SaaS.
One of the most important issues, in my mind, is backup and how well protected you are from experiencing downtime. I think it is unreasonable to think that you will never experience downtime, so you want to ensure that it will be minimal. In my opinion, a vendor that has a fully redundant data center to back up the primary gains points in the evaluation. A vendor that needs to ship backup tapes to another location in the event of a problem is a less desirable choice.
Evaluating and managing your expectations appropriately will be a big help in this era when the SaaS infrastructure is still being built out.

The Audacity of Hope
In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners' minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Senator Obama called "the audacity of hope."
Now, in "The Audacity of Hope," Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics-a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy." He explores those forces-from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media-that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment.
At the heart of this book is Senator Obama's vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats-from terrorism to pandemic-that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy-where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories about family, friends, members of the Senate, even the president, is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus.
A senator and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a skeptic, and above all a student of history and human nature, Senator Obama has written a book of transforming power. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, he says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes-"waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them."
Dreams from My Father
In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father--a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man--has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey--first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother's family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

The Mariners are going to keep right-handed pitcher Gaby Hernandez in Double-A pitching for West Tenn.
The 22-year-old, acquired from Florida with the Marlins getting veteran lefty Arthur Rhodes, will make his first start in the organization Sunday, a club official said. He had most recently been pitching for Double-A Carolina in the Marlins' organization
Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays can be added to the list of clubs coveting left fielder Raul Ibanez.
That doesn't mean however, that Ibanez will be traded in the next hour, when the non-waiver trade deadline strikes at 1 p.m. (PDT). The Mets seem to be backtracking on Ibanez, given his high cost and the Jays are more interested in the Pirates' Jason Bay.
The Cubs may be the team most likely to land Ibanez, and that's still considered something of a longshot, at least before the deadline; waiver deals can be made after the deadline without too much difficulty.

Derek Hamblen went out to left field for the top of the first inning. Little did he know, he wouldn't make the jog back out.
That is because Hamblen and the rest of the Belmont Bruins got plenty of work in the bottom of the first inning.
The Bruins set an NCAA first-inning record with an astonishing 19 runs in the opening frame of a 24-3 victory during the first game of a doubleheader sweep against visiting Tennessee-Martin on Wednesday night at Rose Park.
"It feels like in Little League it happened a little more often than maybe at this level," Hamblen said. "But this is first time I have seen anything like this, especially in the first inning."
The 19 runs are just two fewer than the record for any inning, which Penn set in 1983. Belmont batted around twice and 23 batters went to the plate — just two short of another NCAA record. The 24 runs are a school record for the most in the NCAA era.
But maybe the most mind-boggling stat of the night: the Bruins had 15 batters reach base safely before UT-Martin recorded an out. The score was 14-0 by that time.
"They couldn't do that again in practice. They couldn't," UT-Martin coach Bubba Cates said. "That is one of those things you never see and then all of a sudden you see it. You'd rather be on the other side of that. You'd rather be the one with the record than giving that record up. ... The law of averages says that can't happen and it doesn't happen but it did happen [Wednesday]."
Belmont (28-21) used 17 different players in the first game. Hamblen was one of a few who was replaced after the first inning. The senior reached safely in all three at-bats (two hits and a walk), drove in four runs and scored three.
Pitcher Nate Woods was batting in the third spot but after he had three hits, three runs and two RBIs in the first inning, a designated hitter was inserted in his place.
"Everyone just kept getting hits. I ended up having three at-bats in one inning — that's wild," Woods said.
UT-Martin was just a month removed from defeating Belmont 9-8 in walk-off fashion, and the Skyhawks (18-27) were winners of eight of their last nine.
But UT-Martin started right-handed pitcher Dylan Cupples on Wednesday for the first time all season. Cupples had been bothered by an arm injury but since he is a senior, Cates wanted to get him on the mound one last time in his career.
It was a rough start as he hit two batters, walked two and gave up a hit before he was pulled. Belmont coach Dave Jarvis thought that played a factor in getting his team going as the hits and runs started to roll in after that. In fact, UT-Martin was on its third pitcher before the first out was recorded.
"I felt like it was very much a class act on Coach Cates' and UT-Martin's part [to start Cupples]," Jarvis said. "Then, our kids just kind of got on a roll and one thing led to another. It was born from somebody that was making a very class act for that senior, recognizing him."
Belmont (28-21) finished with 19 hits, five home runs, 10 walks and six hit batters in the first game. The Bruins recorded 15 hits in a 14-5 win in the nightcap. The 38 combined runs in the doubleheader are more than the total runs in any of Belmont's three-game series this season.
"Bubba and I are dear friends. He is as good as a friend as I have in this game," Jarvis said. "But the thing I will say is that we do sympathize with the opposing coach but at the same time you also recognize the fact that you are still pulling for your players and you still want each of those kids to have a certain mentality and certain approach. Our kids just continued to execute that and continued to demonstrate it. So I was happy for them, that they did it."

Hi. I'm Your Salmonella Hallucination.
It's me, Teddy Roosevelt. The 26th President of the United States and the hero of San Juan Hill. I'm here with Ming the Merciless and the kid who beat you up in fifth grade dressed in a buckle hat. We're going to pay you a visit about 12 hours after you finish that Thanksgiving dinner and the Salmonella Enterica develop a nasty colony in your intestines. Bully!
Kind of ironic, really. I was always a fan of taking chances and living the adventurous life. I probably would have slapped you on the back and chuckled in approval when I heard you were going to prepare one of those giant mail-order turduckens. But now I'll probably just hover over your bed with this threatening grin on my face as you become more and more dehydrated. But that's what adventures are all about, aren't they? Sometimes you win an election for governor, and people want you to battle corrupt political machines. Sometimes you improperly thaw a chunk of poultry and spend three days throwing up and begging someone up in heaven to kill you.
Ming wants me to say hello. He can't wait to sing the Ave Maria while you desperately try to claw the cap off the Advil bottle. He's been practicing and everything. I think he sounds pretty good, but you be the judge.
You know, it's not like I haven't had my share of sickness. I suffered incredibly debilitating asthma, and I was as weak as a kitten. My father drove me to exercise and take up boxing until my condition improved. Your situation will clear up much, much sooner than mine -- assuming you don't actually die when bacteria spread to your bloodstream. But let's not spoil the surprise.
Ha. I said spoil. That's kind of funny.
Before I go, I will give you a couple of tips. The second Jack Daniels will actually help you slide through this a little easier. But the third definitely will not. That'll just give you the kind of headache that will make Ming's Rack of Despair feel even worse. Also, don't get up and have some pie when you think you're on the mend. You fucked up the pie too.
Oh, and one more: When you finally make it to the bathroom it's going to give Rough Rider a whole new meaning.

Marcus Stroman has a slide piece that would make John Popper jealous. Last year, he was just as dominating, so it's not like this came out of nowhere. Well, last year after he returned from his suspension for testing positive for methylhexaneamine. Did you know that no one connected to the commissioner's office was able to pronounce what he was suspended for nor anyone directly connected to Stroman? His grandma said, "My grandy-son was suspended for menthol cigarettes?" A coach familiar with Stroman said, "It was really frustrating when people kept asking, 'What's he suspended for?' After a while, when people asked during his suspension where Stroman was, we'd just say he was in the bathroom. No one wanted to try to pronounce the drug he was banned for." Last week, he threw six no-hit innings. Here's what Prospect Scott said in the offseason, "The 22-year-old made 20 Double-A starts on the season, posting a 3.30 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and K/9 at 10.4. Those of you who read my posts throughout the regular season know that I'm intrigued by Stroman — he brings a fastball/slider combo that's as good as any in the minors, and that skill set makes for some exciting performances (he whiffed 11+ batters in four of his 20 starts). Stroman was probably ready for a big league look this past September, but the Jays opted to send him to the Arizona Fall League instead. Big time whiff potential will make him a coveted piece in the fantasy game as soon as he surfaces. Speaking of faces, I hate Grey's." Hey! The Jays will be finished with McGowan in the landmark case of sooner vs. later, as well they should be. Stroman could be up any day now, Annie Potts. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Trevor Bauer – I just went over my Trevor Bauer fantasy. It was written while I held my Cougar's hand and told her it felt like a prune.
Collin McHugh – His numbers right now are ridunkiculous — 11+ K/9, sub-2 BB/9. I'd absolutely give him a try. Maybe McHugh will join Jesse Chavez on your team so when your leaguemates see you in first place, they'll look at your team and wonder how in the world you're pulling it off. It's good to win, it's better to perplex. "Grey throws him against the ropes, spins him around and drops the Perplex! Oh, it's over!"
Josh Beckett – Here's a guy that is strictly a Stream-o-Nator start for today. By the by, when I ask myself, "What does the SON say?", I then start making crazy noises like What Does The Fox Say?
Wily Peralta – Opposite shituation as Beckett. I don't love his start today, but I'd prefer Wily P. long term. It neither helps nor hurts him that Wily P. sounds like someone that would be smoking crack with Rob Ford.
Nate Eovaldi – If we're to assume that Matthew Berry, Eric Karabell and Tristan Cockcroft own 10,000 fantasy teams to build up their virtual trophy shelf, then we can also assume that if they don't own Eovaldi it makes sense why he's only owned in 32% of leagues. Nothing else makes any sense. Oh, and on April 4th, Eovaldi was the lede in my 2nd Buy of the season. *blows on knuckles, goes to wipe knuckles on shirt, realizes I'm naked* And I'm not using my fingers to type this. Rawr!
Dillon Gee – He really shouldn't be in any Buy column all year. It's kinda stupid that I need to keep talking about him. Who will have better fantasy value this year, Gee or Hamels? Is it close? Prolly, but simply because it's close leaves one scratching their head why Gee isn't owned. Well, that and head lice.
Hector Rondon – He looks like the head of the four-headed monster that will close Cubs games, assuming there are games to close, and assuming makes an ass out of u and Ming the Merciless.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia – It's taking you longer to pick him up then it takes a barista at Starbucks to write his full name on the cup.
Derek Norris – Right now, he's owned in 0.7% of leagues. There's a bigger percentage in the odds of a UFO landing on your house, looking for Andrelton Simmons.
Lyle Overbay – Love, love, love, love, lurve even Aloe Blacc's new album. As my dog Ted would say, it's the bomb dot gov. Try to listen to Red Velvet Seat less than 70 times in a row. You can't. Subtract four love's and a lurve even, and it's how I feel about Overbay, but he has been playing and in NL-Only leagues you can't be too picky, unless you have chicken pox.
Justin Smoak – In the first week, he made you stop. In the 2nd week, you wanted him to drop. In the 3rd week, you rolled to another 1st baseman. That's a natural reaction to Smoak.
Scooter Gennett – The Brewers look like they've finally figured out what the entire world has known for years, Weeks sucks. Not to be confused with his uncle, Years Weeks. He doesn't suck. Gentle man. Has a hearty laugh. Good at Connect Four.
Danny Espinosa – Someone asked the other day where Espinosa goes when Zimmerman returns. Honestly, no clue, Professor Plum, but Zimmerman can't even hold a ball right now, and his shoulder falls off his torso in a strong gust of wind, so I'd cross that bridge when I came to it, modern-day explorers.
Brandon Hicks – All he does is hit home runs! And soon he won't even be doing that, but while he is, it's worth a flyer.
Zack Cozart – He's got a low flame on a hot schmotato and I'm drizzling sour cream and draping it with Bacony Baco Bits….Okay, I should eat prior to writing these things.
Grant Green – I just went over Green this morning. It was… I forget, but prolly awesome. Go check it out.
Jace Petersen – Here's four minutes and twenty-eight seconds to explain Jace's value.
Gregory Polanco – I'm missing the reason why Polanco will be up before June, so I've been pretty recalcitrant in pimping him. I'm almost sure I'm using recalcitrant wrong. Doesn't that mean too much calcium? I'm also sure that in the history of the world recalcitrant and pimping have never appeared in the same sentence before. Still, if your league is deep enough, you need to start thinking about stashing Polanco.
Krispie Young – The Hitter-Tron loves him today as well as covering itself in motor oil and sliding itself back and forth under a car. Slowly at first, then exceedingly faster.
A.J. Pollock – Has two homers and hitting over .300 in the last week even if the Pollock writes it 003.
Chris Denorfia – This year he's hitting .314 with one homer and five steals… Damn, that sorta killed my enthusiasm. Well, in some leagues, that's helpful. Plus, Christine Denorfia never put out, so the Denorfias owe me!
Cameron Maybin – The Padres are overdue for an offensive explosion, apparently. Gyorko alone owes me about 12 homers in May. Jerko!
Charlie Blackmon – The Buysellatops, that big, dopey beast that only eats vegetables, but pronounces them veggy-tah-bulls, has a thing or two to say about Blackmon's current value. Like Jerry Maguire, I love Blackmon! But he is nowhere near this good. I think this sell is obvious, so I'm gonna give you a second one today. It's right here… *checks pockets, removes shoes, socks* Where the hell did I put it? *opens drawers frantically, gets panicked, embarrassed* Um, I had it right here… *removes wizard hat* There it is!
Justin Verlander – It's no secret that I haven't liked Verlander for a few now, but he's been really yawnstipating and it's only disguised by a bit of luck. His K-rate is at 6.98 and walk rate is at 3.38. That's lesser than such notable (not notable) names as Tanner Roark, Miguel Gonzalez, Chris Archer, Matt Garza…Are you getting the idea? Verlander is all name value at this point and one season away from being CC Sabathia's pee boy, which is a terrible job since all CC eats is asparagus. I wouldn't trade Verlander for a coffee table book about coffee tables, but I would explore my options.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
This is the view from Bwlch Tryfan [ 'bwlch' being Welsh for 'mountain pass'] between Tryfan and Glyder Fach.
Bydd bwlch mawr iawn ar dy ol di Simon, gan dy fod wedi gwneud cyfraniad aruthrol i drafodaeth wleidyddol - gyda dy sylwadau di-flewyn ar dafod a difyr dy hun, yn ogystal a thrwy dy waith cyfieithu arwrol.
Gobeithio bydd y wefan newydd yn llwyddiant, ac yn mynd rhywfaint o'r ffordd at lenwi'r bwlch yn y ddarpariaeth bresennol.
Presently I began to ascend the pass or bwlch, a green hill on my right intercepting the view of Arran, another very lofty hill on my left with wood towards the summit.
We toiled up the ascent, and after crossing the level ground on the top, plunged down the bwlch between walking and running, occasionally stumbling, for we were nearly in complete darkness, and the bwlch was steep and stony.
This bwlch, or hollow way, was a regular pass, which put me wonderfully in mind of the passes of Spain.
I hurried along and soon reached a valley which abounded with trees and grass; I crossed a bridge over a brook, not what the old man had called the Dyfi, but the stream whose source I had seen high up the bwlch, and presently came to a place where the two waters joined.
He himself was inclined to believe that it was the Pistyll up the bwlch.
Syndod hefyd yw gweld cyfres Jonathan yn dal i barhau heb Nigel Owens ar ôl blynyddoedd o rygnu mlaen, ond mae'n dda eu bod nhw nawr wedi cael Madam Rygbi i lenwi sawl bwlch, ac ma' hi'n ddigon gwallgo i siwtio'r ffans Cymreig a digon digywilydd i fod yn eitha doniol jyst y byddai'n well iddi gael gwared ar y sgript bob hyn a hyn.

5/21/2012 – Judgment call.
Don't get me wrong, I like (most of) Jason Aaron's work, I really do. I don't actually blame him for the book Josh is making fun of, and it's not even impossible that I might enjoy it if I read it. But I'll never know.
Because it's called "Avengers Versus X-Men: Versus".
And you just kinda have to draw the line somewhere, y'know?
It gets to a point sometimes where I just hear Sam Kinison's voice in my head, talking about McDonald's: "Hey, let's see if they'll eat shit on fuckin' bread."
Quotable quotes from @JoshCritic:
"Neal Adams says UXM #1 feels like it started in the middle of the story. But that was 50 YEARS AGO. We've gotten the beginning since then."

Qualcomm charges royalties on each handset sold based on its technology in addition to one-time licensing fees from handset vendors. Apple, Samsung, Nokia and LG are some of its key customers.
Qualcomm is the leading patent holder in advanced 3G mobile technologies, which has allowed the company to charge high royalty rates in the past. With over 250 licensees, its CDMA patent portfolio is the most widely and extensively licensed portfolio in the industry. In the past, Qualcomm has been in a tiff with Nokia and India's Reliance over high royalty rates charged by it. The average royalty rate that Qualcomm charges mobile handset vendors has declined gradually over the past few years, as the average selling price of CDMA mobile phones continue to decline and carriers transition to higher-speed 4G networks, where Qualcomm does not have a strong position.
The company's average royalty rate of mobile devices based on its technology declined from 4.3% in 2008 to 3.2% in 2013. We estimate the figure to continue declining over our forecast period, albeit at a slower pace.
Our price estimate of $73.86 for Qualcomm is at an approximate 10% discount to the current market price. Mobile device royalties account for over 45% of our valuation.

Emerging Markets Leading Growth; Lower ASPs To Impact Royalty Rate
The high-end mobile market in developed markets has become largely saturated amid efforts by carriers such as Verizon and AT&T to control subsidies and boost margins. Last quarter, Verizon and AT&T reported a combined decline of almost 17% in smartphone activations over the same period in 2012. As smartphone demand in developed markets nears its peak, handset makers are shifting their focus to cost-sensitive emerging markets such as China and India, among others. Emerging economies have very low 3G/4G penetration, and carriers there are intent on driving data usage through smartphones.
According to IDC, smartphone sales in China increased by 67% annually, to reach 350 million in 2013, accounting for 35% of the world market. That figure is expected to increase by another 30% to 450 million this year, mainly driven by rising demand for low-cost devices.
The average selling price of mobile phones is lower in emerging markets, which translates to lower royalty revenue per phone (royalties are based on the price of the handset). In Q1 2014, the 3G/4G device ASPs declined by almost 4% sequentially and over 2.3% annually.
Lower Royalty For 4G-LTE Technology
Qualcomm does not have the same dominant IP portfolio in 4G technologies like LTE as it has in the CDMA network technology. The company believes that it might not be able to achieve the same royalty revenues on OFDMA-based LTE technology, as it enjoyed in CDMA-based technologies. Qualcomm's royalty rate for LTE-only is about 125 basis points lower than for 3G. As the industry transitions from the 3G to 4G technology, Qualcomm's average royalty rate will come under pressure.
The gradual shift from 2G to 3G/4G will increase the global penetration of mobile devices that support 4G LTE from the current 50% to 65% in 2016. The rising adoption of low-end smartphones in emerging markets could further increase 3G/4G penetration to as high as 80% by 2018.
In Q2 2014, 3G CDMA device sales in China suffered ahead of an anticipated LTE ramp-up at China Mobile, which caused retailers to aggressively burn through TD-SCDMA inventory in preparation for the transition. As a result, Qualcomm's licensing revenues took a hit, growing by less than 1% over the same period last year.
Wider Royalty Base Can Offset The Declining ASPs
The expanding smartphone user base can counter the negative impact of declining ASPs on royalty rates to some extent, in our view. BI Intelligence estimates that globally one in five cell phone owners has a smartphone, up from less than one in 20 just a few years ago. The current penetration rate is still quite low and thus there is plenty of room for growth. Gartner estimates smartphone production wil rise about 60% between 2013 and 2016.
As the average smartphone price declines, low-priced feature phone subscribers will find it worthwhile to trade up to low-end smartphones. Smartphone (even low cost ones) offer higher ASPs as compared to feature phones. Thus, Qualcomm will eventually benefit from an incresing number of people switching over to smartphones, enhancing its total royalty base. Higher sales volume can offset (to some extent) the negative impact of declining average smartphone ASPs.

Go Spotting: Go in the Library
Monday September 30, 2013
The entire Spring 2013 issue of Library Trends magazine is devoted to how to develop gaming programs in libraries. The authors agree that with libraries seeking a relevant connection to Internet-savvy young users, games can draw young people in. Various authors discuss the merits of video, tabletop, card, and role-playing formats. Among them is Thomas Maluck (right), a teen services librarian at Richland Library in Columbia, SC. In an article entitled "Play It Loud," Maluck describes Go Your Own Way, a program he developed after seeing the AGF booth at the American Library Association convention in New Orleans in 2011. "Go encouraged positive parent-child communication," he writes. "In one session, as a child learned the rules and played a practice game, his mother tried to kibitz over his shoulder. Her well-intentioned advice was based on a logical understanding of an aggressive, checkers-like strategy, but . . . the child's understanding of the game was more advanced than his mother's. Staff invited the mother to play and watched them both develop personal strategies and counterstrategies over the course of several games." Although Library Trends is published by Johns Hopkins Press, it is not freely available. You'll need access to Project MUSE; try your local public or university library. It's an interesting issue.

Local Club Organizers Respond to New Go Club Survey
Sunday September 29, 2013
"The AGA made my club possible 10-15 years ago," responded on local go club organizer to a recent survey. "As long as I have a working memory, I will be grateful for this." Said another, "People want to know why they should join the AGA. Usually the only reason they do is because they want to play in an AGA rated tournament." Wondered another, "Can you provide any other reasons I or my club should rejoin the AGA outside of general support?" A whopping 85 club leaders across the United States responded to the survey last June, which queried them on club revenue sources, tournaments, meeting frequency, advertising methods, internal chapter email list maintenance, size and reach, and AGA membership. The AGA's Board of Directors has been studying the survey responses and is "already using the results of the survey to plan additional chapter and member services" says survey organizer Greg Smith. "We did learn, however, that there are some misconceptions out there about the AGA and the services it provides. Many people made suggestions about what the AGA could do, when the AGA already does those things." Smith credited Philip Waldron for establishing a valuable baseline in his "2008 Chapter Report" and Lisa Scott for collating the new survey's responses. "We'll both begin following up using the AGA Chapter List over the next few months, correcting the misconceptions there and in the E-Journal," Smith said.

LA After-School Program to Roll Out Go to a Dozen Schools
Sunday September 29, 2013
LA's BEST, an award-winning after-school program serving 194 high-needs elementary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, is establishing go programs in 12 schools, according to AGA President Andy Okun and LA's BEST Director of Education Stela Oliveira. "For those of us who have seen how captivating, fun, and beneficial go is for little kids, this is an incredible chance to spread the benefits of the game and bring something new and exciting to a bunch of students," said Okun. The program started over the summer with a trial run at two elementary schools, Latona and Lareto. Aside from providing equipment and sets of Hikaru no Go, the AGA and the AGF also provided teacher training, led by former AGF teacher of the year Vincent Eisman, who held a small training in June and a larger one in late September. The AGF is providing continuing support through the school year as well. To donate money to help cover training costs and equipment expenses click here.

Chapter News: Gotham's Efficient Play
Saturday September 28, 2013
Gotham Go Group organizer Peter Armenia's recent email to New York City go players was a model of efficient play, celebrating a club success, promoting an upcoming tournament and urging membership in the AGA.
"Well it's that time of year again," Armenia reported in an email with the subject line "The Benefits of Membership." "It was early October, 2011 that I put out the word that regular weekly Go would be returning to New York City. We have been going strong at the Hungarian Pastry Shop ever since, regularly getting between 12 and 20 players every week. On top of that: We had a very successful first Gotham Go Tournament last January with nearly 60 players; And another coming up in October! Click here to register; And the US Go Congress is coming to NYC next year!
"One thing I did that October is register with the American Go Association as an AGA affiliated club," Armenia continued. "Not only does this help our club get noticed, it also supports Go in the United States. It only costs $35/year for our club, which I pay out of pocket (small donations from members are certainly welcome but not required). If you are a lapsed member of the AGA I urge you to renew today. If you have never have been a member of the AGA I urge you to take advantage of a special half price offer they have through our chapter. This is a special discount offered through our chapter club (the Gotham Go Group). Note:If you want to get this discount, send me an email and I will email you the discount voucher to use on the AGA website. And remember, to play in the upcoming tournament you need to be a member of the AGA, so join today."
Other chapters are welcome to adapt this model to help build their own local clubs and the AGA, Armenia tells the E-Journal. "The more each chapter succeeds the more we all succeed," he says. "It's important to keep things simple, consistent, and to make coming out to play go easy and enjoyable. Do what you can to make a community around your go club."

Why Doesn't the West Play Go?
Friday September 27, 2013
Why isn't go more popular in the West? That question has preoccupied go author and scholar Peter Shotwell for decades. Shotwell's recently published "appendix" on the subject — appended to his ongoing "Origins of Go" study — is entitled Why the West Plays Chess and the East Plays Go: How Classical Chinese and Ancient Western Grammars Shaped Different Strategies of War, Weiqi and Chess. Shotwell examines his idea that the presence or absence of abstract nouns, the verb "to be" and other linguistic features developed and shaped the philosophies and resulting different strategic thinking of early Greece and Classical China. He provides the historical background of how and why this happened and concludes with an examination of the Thirty-six Strategies that encapsulate the strategic yin thinking of Chinese generals like Sunzi (right) and weiqi players of the Han dynasty, along with a short discussion of the reasons for the fall of the Qin dynasty. The full article is 274 pages, or you can download a 16-page summarizes of the most significant findings here.

Yeong Cha Converts for a Winning Position at Emory Tournament
Monday September 23, 2013
Yeong Cha (center), an extremely strong player on the TYGEM go server, showed he's just as comfortable on a real board by winning the third annual Emory Go Tournament player on Saturday, September 21 at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. "Yeong seemed very comfortable with vague, doubtful positions but he would always convert them into a winning position," reports Tournament Director Jeffery Kerlagon. Emory University, which hosted the tournament for the third consecutive year, "provides a great tournament game room," said Kerlagon. "It is truly a grand facility." Just over two dozen competitors from Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina turned out on a rainy night, and "New faces made this an exciting event," Kerlagon added.
Winner's Report: HIGH DAN DIVISION: 1st Place – Yeong Cha ($110); 2nd Place – Eric Kim ($70)
3rd Place – (Oasiny) Zhao ($40); DAN / KYU DIVISION: 1st Place – TIE – Rodney Keaton & Hiroshi Yamane ($40 each); 2nd Place – TIE – Darrell Speck & Adam Chesler ($25 each).

ASUS A6JA - Page 3
- Bios
After powering up the ASUS A6JA, you get the ASUS logo and within a few minutes, you are asked to complete the Windows XP Home SP2 installation (language, time zone, passwords). I checked the ASUS web site and found a new BIOS (207) that was available for this notebook, which I installed before performing any tests.
By pressing tab and del during the boot process, you enter the BIOS where several options are available. There is no option to overclock either the CPU or GPU:
- Installed software
ASUS has pre-installed several applications, which fortunately are not spyware or shareware related, unlike several other manufacturers:
Two more applications can be installed from the included CDs:
I'm not too keen on Symantec's Norton Internet Security, so I un-installed it. There are many freeware solutions available, that can cover you from malicious attacks.
For most users, the fact that the notebook comes fully equipped with an array of applications like:
means they don't have to pay extra money or search around for similar solutions in order to get the most from their notebook.

He's supposedly plotting plots and being dastardly. Yet he creates this group, and no story? No evil plan?
Well I have a plan... and it's already been executed...
I stole the first story from you! Mwaahahahahahahahahahaha! It's mine, all mine!
Being evil is kinda fun!
Muhahahaha............... When I start a group, I imeadiately write my story before some villian, (like you or sylph), speeds off with it. lololol I'm so damn smart I sometimes scare myself. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..... OPPS! .................................
Oh Mewold... the dastardly villain is slooooowww... can't keep up with the wenches... tsk tsk... ;p

Define insanity. x p
The state of being seriously mentally ill; madness. Arrggh, I am so annoyed with myself. If I was truly evil I would have given you the wrong definition, waiting for that day when someone asks you to define insanity and there you would repeat the false definition that I gave you. By the time you realize your error, my plan will already be in motion and there I would appear, and I would laugh for seeing my plan come to fruition. I've already taken two puffs from my inhaler this time so I can laugh with unobstructed breathing. Muahahahahaaa...
Sadly,I just can't get ahold of this being evil business. I think I've got mad down to a tee though. :-) Yeah I'd settle for that.
It's a trap. Don't wait for me. Save yourselves. Tell the oth
The dastardly one always has spindly legs so he can sneak around.
Yup! Sneaking goes well with being sloooowww... *checks to see if the skinny legs are hairy... gets razor* ... this helps to be more aerodynamic. ;p

It hasn't taken very long for Delilah (the kitten) to bond with Maggie (the Golden Retriever) and Sascha (the German Shepherd).
Sascha seems to be the most bonded with Delilah as she follows her everywhere and licks her at every opportunity.
On the other hand, Maggie, being true to her character, doesn't seem to care one way or another about another animal. It's people she's most interested in.
That is, until Delilah decides to go in between the dog's crates! That's when Maggie starts whining, probably asking why she has to be in a crate when the kitten doesn't:-).

Brave the depths of the Indian Ocean, and discover an ancient world hidden just beneath the water's surface…
Aliwal Shoal, just off the coast of Umkomaas, has a spectacular marine ecosystem awaiting intrepid scuba divers. The magnificent reef is alive with colourful corals, reef fish, turtles, whales, rays and moray eels. It is rated among the top five warm water diving spots in the world. The reef is particularly renowned for its ragged-tooth sharks, which cruise the reef's intricate gullies and caves. The reef is also inhabited by zambezi and tiger sharks! The warm, clear water has excellent visibility and rarely drops bellow 19 degrees Celsius. Some of Aliwal's dive sites include: Raggie's Cave – which is famed for its ragged tooth sharks, moray eels and potato bass. Divers are only allowed to enter the caves when the sharks are not in residence. Outside Edge – where the greatest variety of marine life on the shoal can be found, including game fish, sharks, dolphins and scorpion fish. Wreck Dives – at the MV Produce and The Nebo provide fascinating alterative sites, with excellent photo opportunities and interesting sea life, including lion fish, the rare harlequin goldie, moray eels andbrindle bass. There are many dive centres in the area that offer accredited scuba diving courses, dive equipment for hire and chartered dives to Aliwal Shoal and other locations along the coast. Divers require valid PADI, NAUI or CMAS Open Water Qualifications.
See the Sardines Run!
The annual Sardine Run is one of the world's most incredible natural phenomena. Enormous shoals of sardines migrate up the coast every winter, followed by an army of dolphins, sharks, whales, game fish and diving seabirds, which feast on the small shiny fish. The sardines are often driven into shallow water by their predators where they are scooped up by eager fisherman and visitors, who come from far and wide to enjoy the experience.

Christmas Cards Hanging on the Line
I've been looking for a way to display all the Christmas cards we receive each year.
In years past they've been lined up along the back of my entry table…. and looked a real mess. I've seen a few solutions that cost money, too much money.
Then I spotted this Land of Nod Holiday Work of Art Clips in my last catalog. It looked like a perfect way to display our cards. It also looked like something I could make myself.
I was able to pick up the necessary supplies at my local craft store. I was even able to use a 50% coupon, so the project cost me around $2.
First step was to add the picture hanging clip to the back.
Then I painted the acrylic paint in white and let it dry. Then I drew the peppermint candy swirls with a pencil. Then painted in the red.
Tie on thin ribbon or twine.
And hang it up on the wall. I did consider painting my mini clothes pins. But I'm still not sure I want to. I kind of like the natural.
I am going to make a second row to hold the kids holiday art. I love my new card hanger! It was easy, inexpensive and looks just how I hoped.

Super cute! Love your ideas : )
Very cute! You do have nice & easy ideas :)
We just hang all ours (with tape) on the closet door close in the same room that our Christmas tree is in.
I just found your website about a week ago, and I just had to let you know that I love it. It's as if somebody has snuck into my brain and made a blog out of all the ideas I wish I had time to think of. I love all of the different categories you have since these are all the places I wish I had more ideas. I consider myself somewhat crafty, but I lack the creativity to make up my own ideas. So far I've made the potpouri for myself and friends/teachers/family, your Cinco de Mayo enchiladas (which the filling also makes a great chip dip), and I am planning on buying the supplies for your newest craft project. It certainly looks better than my simple twine strung acoss our mantle. Thank you. Love your blog!
Oh thank you!!!! I have hung a Santa in a sleigh connected to reindeer with yarn for years using thumbtacks, but with our remodel I don't want to thumbtack the newly painted walls. Your idea is AWESOME!
I like the natural look, too. You could also see if you can get some mini red ones. This site has 25 for $2.50.
Stef at TooMuchToDoSoLittleTime.com
Cute idea.
I hang mine on our staircase railing going upstairs along with some draped garland…very festive! So bare when it all comes down.
Love, love, love the potpourri too simmering on my stove!
Super cute! Love it!
Gorgeous – I created a wall "ladder" with stiff wire edged xmas ribbon as the two main arms down the sides and festive glitter twine as the rungs. Then used coloured mini pegs to attach the cards. I too have my house smelling of the beautiful potpourri – even wrapped some up as small gifts. Thanks for taking the time to share your brilliant ideas.
I love this idea! So cute!
Just happened upon this brilliant post! Can't wait to try it. What are the round wooden things called so I know what to look for at a craft store? This is exactly what I've been looking for any other idea I've come across is a little bit tacky or too cluttered.

Coarsely chop some potatoes and assorted veggies and pop in the oven to roast for a nutritious tasty meal when you're finished working out.This Sparked Me! Leave a Comment

The START/STOP DTMF messages are part of the layer 3 signalling messages (sent over a signalling channel that is also used for call setup/teardown). also, that signalling channel is between the MSC and the telephone. -- - Harald Welte <laforge at openmoko.org> http://openmoko.org/ ============================================================================ Software for the world's first truly open Free Software mobile phone -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
