Environmental crimes are the one of the top worldwide problems today having various different forms. Some even reached a level of the most profitable criminal activities in the world. Common ones are usually regarding to waste disposal, pollution and exploitation of flora and fauna.
Beside arms and drug traffic this is by the Interpol third largest illegal business on the planet. Biodiversity survival is greatly endangered by this serious threat and most guilt goes at the consumers. People pay some incredible prices for black market products and if this would disappear everything would be solved.
Worst thing in all this is the more species is endangered it brings more money. It is amazing how some people are ready to pay a fortune for it. Most popular animals in black market are arachnids, monkeys, tropical birds and reptiles. There is an awful fact about making money not only on the animals as a company animals but on their parts, such as elephant tusks and rhinoceros horns. This ivory is used for some nonsense products like medicine, aphrodisiacs and souvenirs.
One of the main causes of deforestation in the world making huge damages for flora and fauna. There is a huge increase of deforestation in case of large rainforests which are being reduced in last couple of years for even 30%. Not only it presents massive threat for the forests and trees but also for endangering many species of animals and plants by damaging their habitats and ecosystems. So to fight this successfully it is necessary to avoid buying products which are produced due to extensive farming and support environmentalists by signing various petitions.
Extremely high numbers of sharks are captured on annual basis because of their fins. Even worse if we could say it, their bodies are thrown back into ocean when their fins are removed. Highest levels of cruelty is made by this where sharks die in huge pain.
Unfortunately this trend is just raising on daily basis especially in Asia where shark fin soup presents a specialty in restaurants. Sharks make extremely important part of trophic chain and people just forget this fact when doing this extremely inhumane act.
There are millions tons of electronic waste dumped in developed countries every year and most of it is consisted of electronic waste such as mobile phones, computers, TV sets and others. They are illegally transported in countries such as Africa, China and India. Most of this waste comes from the West and there is extremely huge problem in Ghana where great amounts of waste are finding a place.
Only successful solution for this is that governments invest in serious recycling measures to level it with amount and consumption rate of the waste. Similar huge problem of is done with the water where many companies are dumping fecal and toxic waste into many rivers and lakes. Some power plants and companies flush water back in the river after cooling down their mechanisms. This is endangering many ecosystems, killing outnumbering species. Simple sewage collectors or sewage plants would solve this terrible crime.

George's Paintbox
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Creation of assets, illustrations and paint box tool imagery for George's Paintbox, a Funny Garbage created website for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Curious George website, www.curiousgeorge.com. This art room inspired game allows kids the ability to use the computer to create artworks using touch screen, track-pad or mouse. For this game I rendered various Curious George styled imagery to be used as artwork for the game that can be placed on the canvas. I also created many stamp tools, which are graphical elements that can be painted onto the canvas leaving path trails of randomly placed imagery. Periodically the Curious George website will feature various topical themes (such as Halloween, Birthday, or Space) that each come with an array of subject specific artwork and stamp tools.

This Nationally Accredited course provides the skills, knowledge and importantly confidence required to perform life-saving CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) in line with the latest Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines.
In addition, Defibrillator training is included.
First Aid Training Group recognises that every year there are approximately 30,000 cases of sudden cardiac arrest within Australia, with the majority occurring outside a hospital setting. The average ambulance response time in Victoria is over 13 minutes and chances for survival decrease by 10% with each passing minute after sudden cardiac arrest, making access to a CPR and a Defibrillator vital.
A heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest are two different conditions and the only treatment for Ventricular Fibrillation (the most common form of sudden cardiac arrest) is defibrillation.
A detailed description of the course can be viewed in the most recent version of the Competency Standard.

"We fear the red car," Melanie Willingham said. "That red car that pulls up to tell you bad news."
Sometimes it's the most unexpected calls that change lives forever.
"You always think it's going to be the big fires that are going to get you or do the most damage, but we tend to forget it's the little ones that can sneak up and get us," Cpt. Kenny Willingham said.
ABC13 talked with Captain Kenny Willingham in Sealy, where his career began. On January 6, he was overseeing a call from his post at HFD Station 75 to a fire at an express mechanic shop on Highway 6. The team search eventually led them to an extension of the building where there was someone inside.
After knocking enough brick out to check on the man, the captain took his helmet off to be able to get his head inside when the man stabbed him in the eye.
"My biggest fear was will I ever be able to see again," said Cpt. Willingham.
Doctors could not save his sight on his left side. It's been difficult for the captain and his wife but more than anything explaining to their three children ages 11, 7, and 2.
"We know we'll move on and be fine, it's the damage to our children. Our oldest is having a hard time," said Melanie Willingham, tearfully.
Although one is starting to see his father as a real warrior.
"The middle child, Travis, said 'daddy you look more like a man now,'" said Cpt. Willingham.
He says the loss has also helped him see some things more clearly.
"This has really opened my eyes to what I have at home," said Cpt. Willingham.
One of the first HFD firefighters by his side was Captain Paul Bivens, who lost his sight in 1995.
"I was a rookie, just out of the academy," said Bivens.
His injury was from a personal car accident, but he knows the pain.
"I still remember 20-plus years ago holding on to that fight to be able to see," he added. "To come to grips with that and losing your eye."
Bivens learned to compensate for depth and perception and says once the mask is on and you're in a burning building visibility is low anyway. He says he was determined to fight fires again and he has been for almost 22 years, climbing to the ranks of captain.
"Doing the job, I know he can do it. I'm living proof," said Bivens.
Cpt. Willingham hopes to follow in his footsteps and climb back onto the truck at Station 75.
"He's taken a lot of time to reassure me that I'll be OK and can do this, and I will," added Cpt. Willingham.
A benefit is scheduled for Cpt. Willingham and his family next to Station 75 at the Vietnamese Baptist Church on Saturday, February 11 from 10am to 2pm.

I had this idea for an alternate creation story. One that doesn't start with nothing in the beginning.
"In an age before our own kingdoms and gods, there lived a world beyond our comprehension. A world with it's own creatures, gods, and peoples. None can say if they were like us or something otherworldly, but the legends say that for a time, they knew peace and prosperity that we could only dream of.
Karil was the first of our gods to cross the Ocean of Stars and meet these people. He was the messenger god and patron of travelers and explorers. Karil greeted these people and opened the gates to trade and diplomacy, With bated breath, the gods of the old awaited to receive their new allies.
But peace breeds foolishness and complacency.
Our gods came with the strength of thunder and lightning, with their knights of steel and fire storming the gates. They quickly dispatched the soft guards of the old world and battled the old gods in their own palace. It was a slaughter, as ours are gods of might and brawn, cruelty and guile. But it was cruelty that won the day, and the old gods were executed, their bodies and blood used create mountains and rivers that we see today. The world was theirs and eventually, we mortals would reap the benefits of their victory.
As for the original races of the old world? Some were captured and kept as concubines and servants. Many of the angels and guardians of the gods are enslaved first men, bound by the accords of the spoils of war to serve our gods for all eternity. The ones that fled went to the underground. They became twisted with hate and vengeance and made a pact with a dark and ancient god. Now they plague our kingdoms as demons, subverting our world to reclaim what they believe is rightfully ours.
This is why we raid and war, young one. Peace weakened the old gods and if we rest, it shall weaken ours against any other gods that wish to take our world and enslave us. We must remain the greatest and mightiest, taking what is rightfully ours and sparing no man, woman, or child. Lest we rot in the bowls of the underworld."
The idea behind this was a culture of raiders and warriors and what kind of creation world they might have in a fantasy world. I also kind of like the idea of a war band of gods acting as robber barons.

Blue and purple hair has a wonderful fantasy feel to it and there are just so many ways to wear it. From ombres to dips, there's a style to suit every girl. Blue and purple go well together because blue is used to make purple so they will always complement each other well. You can blend these shades over black, blonde and brunette colors or mix with emeralds, pinks, and turquoise colors for something really unique. Have you been dreaming about purple and blue hair? Here are some looks we are sure you are going to love!
# 1 Purple Swirl
This look has so many pretty purple and blue shades we don't know where to start! There's a pretty pale blue along the edges with a mixture of lavender and cornflower blue covering most of the locks. From the top down, we see bright highlights in mulberry, orchid, and peacock blue. To add to the whimsical fantasy feeling of the look the stylist also added a few curls along the edges.

The Investing Process
Investment performance comes primarily from having a good and stable process within which you can execute your strategy and perform your analysis. If your process flip-flops or you make exceptions 'just this once' you are drifting - and your results will eventually show.
So what do we mean - exactly - by this bold headline statement? Let's take an example not from investing but the very close cousin of capital allocation in companies:
In a landmark study of 1048 large, global companies two Harvard professors, along with McKinsey, concluded in 2009 that only about 8% of financial performance of the companies over a five year period was attributable to the volume of data and the sophistication of subsequent analysis concerning capital allocation.
A further 39% was due to various relatively non-controllable factors such as the predictability of the given industry, availability of capital and how many options for capital allocation they had.
The remaining 53% was attributable to what the study called 'Processual factors' that covered 9 specific variables on how the companies worked with the available analysis and the given non-controllable factors. This could be the inclusion of opposing views in management discussion, team diversity, specific handling of large unknown factors and so on.
You can read more on the study at McKinsey Quarterly's website here
To us the results are in a sense both striking and so predictable as to be almost boring. Because when you think about it it makes perfect sense that if you are faced with the choice of having either a good and rigorous process for thinking through something, despite only having basic data to run on, you're far more likely to avoid catastrophes and make effective decisions than the opposite, which means large volumes of elaborate data and modelling, which is then processed in an off-handed, biased and overconfident manner.
The first is like having your 35-year old religious aunt drive you to church in a family sedan on a lazy Sunday while the latter is like having your drunk nephew give you a joyride in his new porsche while you're worrying that he seems to have forgotten his glasses. Sure the Porsche is a far better car than the sedan - it's just really not what matters.
The same common sense insight applies to investing: you can fail - spectacularly - even with a very good strategy and very good data if your process is biased or otherwise flawed.
That doesn't mean that strategy and data can be dispensed with - far from it. Both play crucial roles in high level investing done right. But they are, and remain, secondary to good process.
So what is a good investing process?
This is the core theme of this site, and you should head over to the articles section where you can find our writing on that and subscribe to the email service (if you want to of course).
In the mean time the abbreviated version is that a good investing process is the one that deals the best with risk. Some would argue that what we should be dealing with is return, but for reasons that we'll not cover here we'd advice you to keep your eyes fixed on risk - if you do the returns will come.
The best concept of risk we've been able to come up with is the notion that risk is the chance that something bad might happen. There are serious flaws in all of the more technical definitions which you'll see us go on about elsewhere.
For investing purposes we can unpack the concept a little bit more, however, and say that risk is a function of certainty, character, time and price.
In other words risk is a factor of:
- How well you know what you are dealing with.
- How disciplined you are in order to follow up on that knowledge: which covers both your personal strength of character and preparation but also, if you invest on behalf of others, what I call Institutional Character.
- Random chance events - both those predictable and unpredictable, good and bad - as time goes by.
- What you pay for a stake in all of the above.
We simply define an investment as the purchase of a security where you've deliberately and adequately dealt with all four aspects of risk above.
The process we use
The process we use follow these 4 steps in order:
- Identify: this is the process where you think through the business and try and understand it. How it makes money. How it functions in the marketplace. Why customers buy and so on.
- Quantify: we try to quantify as much as possible, including future forecasts and estimates. We use classic financial analysis as well as probability functions and
- Falsify: we try and tear our case apart. Look for evidence that contradicts our hypothesis. Ask other people what they think could go wrong and why. Predict what will go wrong if this fails.
- Testify: the last step involves logging our investment thinking so that we may later revisit it and learn from it. Memory is a fickle thing and we can not count on it to give us an honest assessment of what we thought and how we really viewed a situation when we now look back. So we write down our theses in a formal structure that both forces us to touch all bases of our thinking and allows us to compare the thinking from different investments.
The investment decision is eventually made by asking the following question: "Is this investment better than my other available alternatives - including staying where I am and waiting for better times"

Bathtub step over height - Zuiderdam
jlocole posted a topic in Holland America LineMy husband has some hip issues and can't easily step into a regular bathtub. Anyone know if the tubs on Zuiderdam have a lower step over than a regular home bathtub? Z's cabins have a tub/shower combo, we won't be using a tub other than to have a shower. I have a roll in shower cabin (VA category) booked but if tub entry is low, my cabin selection opens up. I saw a Disney ship video and their tub entry looks very easy which makes me inquire about Zuiderdams. TIA
Zuiderdam Atrium Bar question
AtlantaCruiser72 posted a topic in Holland America LineWhen the Vista class ships were built they all had a bar on Deck One of the Atrium near guest services. Is this still used for bar service on Zuiderdam, or is it just an empty unused space? I know it was ripped out of the Westerdam, but think it still remains on Zuiderdam, Oosterdam and Noordam. If not being used for bar service it would seem better to rip it out and use the space better, even if it were just to improve foot traffic flow through the Atrium. An disused bar is rather an eyesore and sad IMHO.

11 Night Regal Princess out of Copenhagen 12 Night HAL Zuiderdam out of Copenhagen 12 Night Brilliance of the Seas out of Amsterdam I posted this on the Princess board, but thought I would post here as well. We have already been on the Brilliance sister ship Serenade of the seas. We would consider Brilliance if it is the better itinerary because we really love our cruise on the Serenade. But would definitely try a new ship if it had the better itinerary. This Baltic cruise this summer as a college graduation gift for my son. There will be our family of 5 with adult children in their early 20s. Are there some ports that are not to be missed? Which is the better itinerary the end of June?

Just off the Zuiderdam 3/31 Panama Canal Cruise
Dolby1000 posted a topic in Holland America LineWell, actually we were off last Wednesday but we continued our vacation through Sunday. I'll be posting a review later, but willing to answer any questions. We were in Neptune Suite 7069, upgraded from a Signature Suite Quick Thoughts: Food was just okay Suite was wonderful No $10 charge for a 2nd entree (not that any entree was worth having twice) Music was outstanding!!!! Special Mentions go to Billboard Onboard, Island Magic and Hyperion Knight Half Moon Cay is a great stop New Canal was very interesting Dome car train ride was a moment of a lifetime Host of the Canal excursion was both really wonderful and completely annoying at the same time Colon itself was a very disturbing eye opener 5 or 6 elevators (out of 12) were out of service the entire length of the cruise HAL needs to work on the My Time Dining concept Renting a cabana in The Retreat is ridiculously unorganized Overall, a 7 out of 10 experience Dolby1000
First time HAL cruiser, just of the Zuiderdam
CruisinShips posted a topic in Holland America LineRather than a full review, I thought I would just give some rambling bullet points of random comments. We just did the 11 day Panama Canal trip. We live in South Florida, so there was no hotel or airport aspect for us. We stayed in a Neptune suite (and typically stay in suites on other cruises, which are mainly on RCCL). The suite was very nice, comparable to a Grand Suite on a Royal ship The attitudes of staff and crew were for the most part exceptional. Workers had smiles, were friendly as could be, some had incredible memories for names and we felt recognized whenever we returned to the same venue on the ship; The ship itself was clean but tired/dated. It's hard to explain, but it lacked a certain "flow" to it. We have been on the Oasis and the Allure, which are about twice the size, and found those ships were easier to get around and more intuitive for some reason. There is certainly no "grandeur" to the ship, no "wow factor"...but that's OK. We didn't expect it; The Neptune Lounge was very disappointing. Concierges were very nice, especially on the first day or two, but we found certain suite perks were a little less than what we were used to. Example...one afternoon we decided we would prefer to switch our dinner reservation to the Pinnacle Grill. Concierge said they were full at our requested time (7), so we opted for Cannaleto. When we went to the Pinnacle Lounge for a cocktail before dinner at about 6:30, Pinnacle Grill was fairly empty. My experience on Royal was that the concierge could get us in almost anywhere. The honor bar in the NL should really work with a drink package...it would have been a good option for us for cocktails before dinner if it did. So other than grabbing a quick cup of coffee or having an occasional snack, there wasn't much of a reason for us to go there. Some other random suite-related thoughts: No priority disembarkation at ports/tenders or the end of the cruise, no designated/reserved suite seating areas in the shows. None of these are going to have any impact on my cruise, but I am merely noting they are different than what I have seen before. The laundry service/dry cleaning ROCKED. Great perk, took advantage of it and loved it. Breakfast in the Pinnacle was great and we took advantage of that as well on several occasions; Food was very good for the most part. We found the MDR food to be tasty and surprisingly good most of the time...easily better than Royal. Pinnacle Grill experiences were very good as well, as was Cannaleto. The Lido buffet was a little disappointing. We didn't go too often, but I found the selections were so so, and the quality was only fair for me. Dive-In was very good; We didn't really take advantage of the entertainment venues too much. Piano bar singers were a little cheesy, but people loved them and they served their purpose well. We attended America's test Kitchen a couple of times during the trip and it was a nice diversion; Cabana...best part of the trip for us. We reserved one for the entire cruise and were there at some point pretty much every day. Attendants were great..took good care of us. Given the serious lack of lounge chairs by the pools, we were glad we did this. Had lunch up there many days and they were super accommodating. Very surprised that so many went unoccupied; Norovirus scare- A few days into the cruise, we started to notice some procedure changes. The Lido was blocked off in certain areas, and NOTHING was self-serve anymore. Sure enough, the captain made an announcement that there were a few cases of gastrointestinal issue reported and they were going to a different protocol. Urged everyone to be more diligent in hand washing. That protocol continued throughout, and later announcements were stating that the issues hadn't seemed to spread, but they were remaining vigilant; Ports were all new to us, so that was good. Enjoyed Caracao, and the highlight was the Panama Canal of course. Loved it. Had an incident on a private tour in Costa Rica where we were about 50 yards away from the coast guard opening gunfire along the bank of a canal we happened to be sightseeing in, and our tourboat was instructed by guides to "get down" as we literally smelled the gun powder. This is another post for another time, but thankfully everyone in our tour was OK and the tour continued. Overall, HAL did a great job on a smallish, dated feeling ship and the food and crew made it a really enjoyable vacation. Happy to answer any questions if I can.

Sooner to Kevin, Man Crocheter of the Flying Fingers Yarn Shoppe:
Dear Kevin or Elise or Both,
I am Brian, the Boy Knitter from the Knitlist and also star of Knitflame. You may remember me from such emails as "crocheters are sailors who make knots" and "no offense I had no idea you were a crocheter."
Regardless, as I have mentioned in the past and to all who would listen, Flying Fingers is totally my LYS*. My blogging partner, Bevin, and I have in fact made Flying Fingers the official LYS of the Totally Knitting Universe. totallyknitting.blogspot.com
As you may also recall Bevin and I are making our way up to Flying Fingers by way of the Yarn Bus this coming Sunday, February 20, 2005. We are totally looking forward to our adventure into your yarn land of luxury and have been busily preparing by deciding which projects to acquire supplies for and what not. I'm especially interested in the bamboo and soy fibers I read about on your website. I think I'd like to make Interlocking Baloons from Scarf Style from Bamboo -- RED -- but need to consult you first. This is the LYS advantage.
Anyway, I am sending this email unto you so that you would be reminded that we are coming to visit and hopefully arrange your schedule so that you may greet us as we emerge from the Yarn Bus. It is our hope to establish a long and fruitful relationship with Flying Fingers and in that way I'm sure you can see the value of a personal greeting upon our arrival.
Please see to it, Kevin or Elise or Both.
Brian, the boy knitter from the knitlist and star of knitflame.
*Local Yarn Shoppe
Kevin to Sooner:
Totally looking forward to it! (you're on the 10:00 am bus, yes?)
Btw, would you and Bevin (such an easy name for me to remember) like to enroll in my Mar 13 or Apr 3 Crochet Class?
(Sneak peek of draft Session X attached.)
Sooner unto Bevin:
This is totally exciting news. Get back to me asap regarding crochet dates.
P.S. someone whose name MIGHT rhyme with a'hole totally has a new FO*. Including fringe. I have decided to name the FO "Coffee's Miracle."
*Finished Object
Sooner to Kevin:
Dear Kevin,
Yes, our reservation is for the 10am Yarn Bus on Sunday February 20. Two days, Kevin. Two.
Both Bevin and I would very much like to be enrolled in your March 13 Crochet class. By any chance is the Yarn Bus available for that date? Might we secure a couple of seats in the Yarn Bus of Mystery and Wonder for March 13? Will we be learning to crochet a skull and crossbones?
Brian, the boy knitter of the knitlist and star of knitflame.
Kevin to Sooner:
Elise or I or Both are counting the hours, Boy Knitter aka Sooner.
In addition, I've signed you both up for the Mar 13 crochet w/s (noting the desire for skull & crossbones motifs) and given you reservations for the Mar 13 10am bus returning 4pm.
Bevin to Kevin (I know):
Dear Kevin:
You may already know me by name, but in case you are unfamiliar, I am Bevin, the Girl Knitter of the Totally Knitting Universe and a legalknitter. My friend Brian Blaho is the Boy Knitter of the Knitlist andStar of Knitflame and has been in contact with you regarding the YarnBus and Crochet Classes and whatnot. I have received copies of all correspondence from Brian unto you andvice versa. I am very pleased with your quality of service online andif that is any indication of the quality of LYS* service we willreceive in store (and on the street as we disembark from the Yarn Busof Magical Mystery and Wonder to your emphatic greeting) I will never regret having declared in concert with Brian Flying Fingers Yarn Shop the official LYS of the Totally Knitting Universe.
I have one small request for our E-Service henceforth. I noticed that the voucher Brian printed for our trip on the Yarn Bus of Magical Mystery and Wonder is in the name of Brian Blaho + Guest. In the style of a wedding invitation. While this is certainly okay and understandable since Brian made the reservation, I am specifically reaching out to you, Kevin, Man Crocheter of Flying Fingers Yarn Shop, to make sure that my name is explicitly on the registration for the very reasonably priced crochet class that books up months in advance.
You see, Kevin, Brian is dynamic, persuasive and charming. Not only that, he is also quite devious. I would not put it past him to putthe spot of "guest" up on ebay to the highest bidder. It is obviousthat the crochet class is in hot demand and any number of NYC metrowannabe crocheters might be tricked into bidding money to be Brian's guest. While I am left at the Union Square Yarn Bus of Magical Mystery and Wonders stop staring in disbelief that my promised spot inyour crochet class has been snatched up by some trust funded girl wishing to step ever so slightly away from garter stitch fun fur scarves, Brian will laugh all the way to the bank.
Now, I love Brian like a brother. He is my best knitting pal, blogging partner and uncle to my two lovely dogs, Leroy (a chihuahua)and Macy (shih tzu puppy and official spokesdog of TK.BS**). I do not think that Brian would betray my trust and yours in such a way, but I am just hedging my bets.
You understand.
See you on Sunday!!
Attorney at Law/Girl Knitter
*Local Yarn Shoppe
Kevin to Bevin:
Rest assured, you are your own uniquely identified person in every case, not just a token to be swapped out willy-nilly.

1 Connecticut Huskies (40-0, 21-0 AAC)
Results: Connecticut 79, Notre Dame 58
Player of the Game: Sr. C Stefanie Dolson (17p, 16r, 7a, 3b, 38m)
Defensive Player of the Game: Sr. C Stefanie Dolson (12dr, 3b, 38m)
Freshman Player of the Game: Fr. G Lindsay Allen, Notre Dame (2p, 3r, 5a, 2s, 29m)
Stat of the Game: Pts. in the Paint: UConn 52, Notre Dame 22
Summary: Duel National Champs!!! UConn men won last night vs. Kentucky for their 4th title and the UConn women followed suit tonight finishing up their 5th undefeated season by beating Notre Dame for their NCAA WCBB DI-record 9th National Championship!!!! National Player of the Year and All-American So. F Breanna Stewart led the way with 21pts. on 10-15 shooting and 9rebs., 4asts., and 2blks. while National Defensive Player of the Year and All-American Sr. C Stefanie Dolson added a double-double with 17pts. and 16rebs. to go along with 7asts. and 3blks. All-American Jr. W Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis overcame an injury-riddled season to have an outstanding postseason and chipped in 18pts., 7rebs., 2asts., and 2stls. to earn a spot on the Final Four All-Tournament Team!
Senior All-Americans Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley conclude their careers with their 2nd consecutive NCAA titles. Dolson was absolutely brilliant from the tip until she left the game to a giant hug from her coach. She finished just shy of a triple-double with 17pts., 16rebs., 7asts., and 3blks. They will be missed by all (and by their teammates especially). Bria struggled on offense but shut down one of (if not the most) athletic guards in the women's game in Loyd, yet she still finished with 13pts., 2rebs., 3asts., and 1blk as she finished just 6pts shy of 2,000 career points (1,994). They are both EXTRA SPECIAL!!! I am so happy the world got to see just how special and that they got to go out on top. They are going to make whichever WNBA team(s) draft them very, very happy with their selection in next Monday's 2014 WNBA Draft.
2013-14 NCAA Women's Basketball National Champions (Duel Champs with UConn men)!!!
2014 Final Four All-Tournament Team:
Sr. C Stefanie Dolson, Connecticut
So. G Jewell Loyd, Notre Dame
Sr. G Kayla McBride, Notre Dame
Jr. W Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Connecticut
So. F Breanna Stewart, Connecticut (Most Outstanding Player)

Back in the spring of 2011, I moved up to Clare County. I was without a wife, family, friends, job, future, purpose, church and some of my eyesight. All I had (or felt I had) was a place to hang my hat back in a place back in the woods near the town of Harrison. My ex and I had bought the place during better times. This was not one of them.
Brown Corners United Brethren Church, its people and its ministry helped me put my life back together.
I became acquainted with Brown Corners when I started attending a program called Divorce Care run by a wonderful couple named Bruce and Cindy Mackie. I got to know Bruce pretty well as the 13-week program went on and enjoyed his advice and friendship. I also found the program well worth while and highly recommend it. Based on my experience and the people I met at the divorce program, I decided to take a chance and attend a Sunday morning service at Brown Corners.
Now I didn't know anything about United Brethren in Christ faith at the time. I basically equated the church with Mennonites and the Amish that were in the area, and so expected a service of old hymns played on old, off-key organ.
Man, was I ever surprised. Turns out among other things, Brown Corners has a knock-your-socks-off with a 10- to 15-member praise band playing professional quality contemporary music. Not only that, but each Sunday I attended, their music leader Scott seemed to pick songs that spoke to me; that reached deep within me and fed me. In addition, I found Brown Corners offered a number of wonderful Sunday School classes and other programs geared for people of all ages and of all faith maturities. And it is filled with great people who, in time, became my friends and still are.
The church itself is led by a personable, self-effacing senior pastor by the name of Chuck Malson. Pastor Chuck as he is called, is also a very good bow hunter. He's also a man after God's own heart and adheres to the inerrancy of the Bible; the divinity of Christ and the need for people to repent and be saved. He also believes that no renovation, expansion or program should begin without plenty of prayer and unless funding is secured before starting. It's a philosophy that has served him well over the 32 years he's been at the church, which has grown to more than 400 members (large for a rural county).
Brown Corners has now established a satellite church in Harrison simply called "20-20Church." The name is derived from the church's purpose of giving people a fresh way of looking at God.
20-20 Church seeks to have the same "DNA" as Brown Corners. That is, it seeks to import what has made Brown Corners successful: a similar musical style with a live high quality contemporary praise band. (Although the band might be smaller than Browns, its members are no less talented or committed.) It also includes the pastor who makes the trip to 20-20 to preach between services at Brown Corners. While Pastor Chuck is the church pastor, Bruce Mackie, who I met at the divorce program a couple of years ago, serves as the resident or campus pastor.
Pastors Chuck and Bruce are not alone in their commitment. In fact, they are two of many at 20-20 committed to the success of the satellite. For example, each Saturday evening 10-15 volunteers gather at the Hayes Community Center, just north of Wilson State Park where the service is held to set up an eight-piece stage, backdrops and lighting. Then after the Sunday service, a group tears everything down and puts it away until the following week.
I attend Brown Corners and 20-20 when I am in the North Country. I help set up 20-20 on Saturday evening, attend the first 20 minutes of the 8:30 Brown Corners service on Sunday morning and then scoot up to Harrison to attend the entire 9:30 service. I then help with teardown.
If you are ever up in Clare or Harrison, give Brown Corners or 20-20 a try. It may not change you—not right off the bat–but it will get your toes a-tapping to a Christian beat and that's a start.
P.S. If you go to the home page of Brown Corners and click on the video slideshow, I did that using an audio CD the church was already using. I just felt they needed a video. I thought it turned out well.

Italian Flatbread
Recipe here!
Found this simple and easy recipe for flatbread ~ no yeast needed! (which is good because I had none!)
Instead of lugging out my cast-iron skillet, I used my electric griddle which also gave me the option to cook 2 flatbreads at a time! Genius! I did brush a little oil on the griddle before I cooked each flatbread to aid in browning. I also turned griddle to highest temp (which is 400 on mine).
To store, cool breads completely and store in large ziploc bags for up to 3 days then transfer to fridge for about a week. But I bet they dont last that long! This recipe made 6 flatbreads for me that average about 12 " long.

Janet Jackson has responded to split rumours with this pic of newborn son
Janet Jackson has given fans a glimpse of her newborn son, Eissa.
The 50-year-old singer shared an image on Instagram earlier on today, along with the caption: 'My baby and me after nap time.'
Last week reports emerged that Janet had separated from her Qatari billionaire husband of five years amidst speculation she had grown tired of his 'controlling' nature according to US Weekly.
However, there appear to be no hard feelings on Wissam's part as he shared a touching tribute to his estranged wife on his website yesterday.
'To the most beautiful person in the world, thank you for your divine love, your eternal support and for being my best friend,' he wrote.
'I love you so much, inshallah we will be together in the Great Forever x.'

[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Mason Bee ~ Orchard Bee [/FONT]
Updated: 2010-03-27, 7:33 pm
It amazes what great pollenators the Mason Bee is, all a person ever hears about is the Honey Bee but it turns out the Mason Bee is hard at work for such a short time pollenating orchards/fruit trees and then gone before mid summer is here. In an effort to add more to our population we built two Mason Bee houses and mounted them on the barn front. At a local backyard bird store there were the straws with liners and vials of cacoons. A quick trip to the hardware store yielded the PVC pipe and it took only about 15 mins to cut and mount the houses.
Along with the 5 apple trees and one Asian pear we planted two types of Peris shrubs that bloom favorite flowers that provide necter for the Mason Bee to mix with the pollen and make the needed bee bread.
3/27/2010 ~ A nice sunny day in the low 60's and the bees are out! Check out they little beehinds (pun) in the tubes. The rain last night and this morning had me wondering how the tubes would work an so far so good. If you look closely you can see they have been in other tubes as well. Most are bees working the established holes in the posts of the barn front that I think they have used for years. Still, happy to see the new houses getting some activity. Only one apple is in fule blossom. the other 5 are still in small green bud stage. Nothing on the Asian Pear yet.

The six members of the Cornell BEST Advisory Board were honored April 7, 2015 for their dedication, exemplary service, and for shaping the Cornell University BEST Program.
From left: Kristine Kolkman Champion, Neurobiology; Tiffany St. Bernard, Biomedical Engineering; R. Alex Coots, Nutritional Sciences; Lena Bartell, Applied Engineering & Physics; Kenneth Yancey, Biological and Environmental Engineering; and Wisler Charles, Biological and Biomedical Sciences.
Avery August, Chair of Microbiology and Immunology and Principal Investigator on the NIH funded grant, awarded the certificates at the second annual Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) Symposium. Citing their selfless hard work to create programming relevant to Cornell University doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars in STEM fields, August conferred the certificates, along with a ceremonial $2 bill 'to treat yourself and invite someone who is not familiar with the BEST Program to a beverage at the Big Red Barn mixer' event held the following week.
The Advisory Board was initially tasked with organizing four career panel discussions to increase awareness of career possibilities in each of the BEST tracks: Industry, Entrepreneurship & Management; Science Communication; Governance, Risk and Compliance; and Science Policy. However, their dynamism and creative ideas provided much more to the BEST Program. As a result of the leadership opportunities they capitalized on, the board invited many more individual speakers for intimate discussions with BEST participants, and even arranged for experiential opportunities for other BESTies.
Their hard work has paid off and allowed for professional and career development experiences for them and others that will complement ongoing research milestones. Specific examples include:
Fifteen other graduate students and postdocs received certificates as the most active BEST Participants, based on a point system of earned contributions and involvement in BEST Program activities. They emanate from STEM fields in the colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Human Ecology, and Veterinary Medicine. Kudos to everyone involved for making the BEST Program a success! For more accomplishments, please peruse the first annual report of the BEST Program.

The screensaver sets in correctly with enabled direct rendering. After
entering the password to unlock the screen, nothing happens, and the
screensaver does not respond anymore.
Expected results:
The screensaver should unlock the screen.
Additional info:
The same happens, if the screensaver sets in after the given time
interval, and it was set to lock the screen when active.
However, when the screensaver sets in without locking the screen,
moving the mouse or hitting a key lets it exit gracefully.
Seems to be driver issue ("xorg-x11-drv-savage") since on my desktop
system with a "Radeon 7200" graphics card, everything works correctly.
Assigning to "Fedora Core devel".

Spiritual Vitality - Jesus, the Source and Sustainer of Life

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

ALPS Mountaineering Dry Sack
Select style & size:Select options
- Blue,Lsale $25.99
Tech Specs
Lives up to its name.
The perfect compression stuff sack for wet environments, the ALPS Mountaineering Dry Sack is a must-have for paddling and hiking trips. Crafted from tough 70D nylon, the Dry Sack features Air Control, which is a waterproof air permeable fabric that allows you to compress air out without letting water in. This high tech fabric gives you the ability to fully compress the contents while maintaining it's waterproof integrity. Plus, it even has a rubber bottom handle for easy transport when you're moving locations.
- Waterproof compression stuff sack for the wettest adventures
- 70D nylon fabric keeps water out while compressing
- Handle at bottom makes for easy carrying
- Reviews
Can't squeeze air out like Sea-to-Summit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought this one as a replacement for my missing sea-to-summit dry sack with eVent. I can easily squeeze air out of the waterproof breathable fabric on sea-to-summit but nothing came out from this ALPS mountaineering dry sack. I bought two and both share the same issue so I end out returning both. That's a real pity.
5 Star for Backcountry.com customer service but only one star for the product itself.
Nice bag with heavy duty straps that inspire confidence.
The volume specification isn't accurate,. The measurements listed are for the bag unrolled. In use, the wide web strap at the top of the bag would be folded over at least twice and then you'd clip the ends together, further decreasing the space. At the end of the day you're losing 2-3" of bag space before compression. This bag's main competitor, the Sea to Summit E-Vent compression bag takes this into consideration, so their bag unrolled measures 2-3" longer than the quoted spec.
That said, it's a quality bag for a great price on sale. The lower volume could be a positive or negative depending on your specific need.
Wish I'd found these sooner...
XL perfectly holds my Sierra Design Front Country sleeping bag. Wish I'd found these sooner. Packing for extended car camping will be so much easier with this. Probably going to buy some more for clothes. Can't speak to waterproofing as they'll probably never not be in another dry bag while floating.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Bought a couple of these for a trip to the narrows. They're great compression sacks, but not convinced they are 100% waterproof. My husband and I both used these for our sleeping bags and on day 2 of the trip submerged the bottom of our packs crossing chest height water. The bottom of our packs got soaked. My bag was still dry, but my husband's sleeping bag was definitely wet in spots.
Update! Tore the compression strap off of one of these while up a mountain...not super durable especially considering I only got to use it 4 or 5 times
Did the trick
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I needed a compression sac to keep my sleeping bag dry on my overnight hike in the Narrows, this did the trick and actually compressed my bag more than the original compression sac it came with. The entire bag took a dunk and kept the sleeping bag dry, even though the pack stayed wet the remainder of the hike.

Our technicians are honest and hard working and are always transparent and fair about the work we do.
Air Conditioner Replacement
A repair may not always be sufficient to fix your air conditioner. Sometimes a new air conditioner is the most cost effective and energy efficient way to go. We will always be honest with you about a possible air conditioner replacement. We value your time and your money, we don't want to perform repairs or service on an appliance that is need of replacement.
How Does an Air Conditioner Work?
An air conditioner doesn't create cool air. It actually removes the heat from the air. Your AC uses a chemical called refrigerant to remove heat and transfer it outside. The warm air runs through the lines and coils in your unit and goes form liquid to gas and back again and during this process the refrigerant removes the heat and transfers it elsewhere so that when the air comes out the other side it is cool.
Air conditioners also remove humidity. Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.
How Often Do I Need to Replace the Air Filter?
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow which reduces efficiency, costing you money and over time can put stress on your unit and could lead to costly repairs. Replacement schedules vary depending upon the type of air filter being used. Some types of air filters should be replaced monthly, while others can go up to six months. Refer to your air conditioner's manual for more information.
How Often Do I Need Maintenance Performed on my Air Conditioner?
Your air conditioner needs regular check ups to keep it running optimally. Having regular annual preventative maintenance will increase the lifespan of your air conditioner and result in fewer breakdowns over time. In addition, the better your air conditioner is operating, the less energy it will use, which saves you money in utility bills!
What is SEER?
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures air conditioning cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output for a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input during the same time frame. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.

Search engine optimization Services - Modern day Concepts for Modern Requirements
Chicago SEO (Search engine optimization) would be the course of action involved in producing a webpage rank increased in big search engines like google. Two with the important Search engine optimization services involved are linkbuilding and article submission.
Within the linkbuilding procedure, specialists will "drop" your company's link on relevant blogs, high Page Rank (PR) web sites, and web forums. They're able to do that by posting helpful comments or feedback relating to what they read on a weblog or high PR web site. Their comment will include things like your site's link. When the weblog moderator authorized the comment, this constitutes a single backlink pointing to your webpage. The additional backlinks dropped, the higher it is possible to rank on line.
Article submissions is usually far more complex as an Seo service. This might involve meticulous keyword investigation, well-written articles and editing. Keyword research suggests getting essentially the most appropriate words that describes your company's product or service.
For instance, if your organization is actually a burger restaurant in Chicago SEO, related search phrases required would then be "restaurant in Chicago," "Chicago restaurant" or "Chicago burger restaurant" and so on. After the firm figures out what the needed keywords and phrases are, they assign writing tasks.
Writers will have to come up with original articles applying these search phrases. They have to observe guidelines with regards to keyword density and keyword placements. Immediately after they write the articles, these submissions go through editing to weed out grammar or spelling mistakes. Later, the firm's specialists will submit these articles in various content material directories to add far more backlinks for your web page.
Quite a few organizations supplying it commonly concentrate their efforts in ranking much better in Google. Google's algorithm is currently the dominant force in the Search engine marketing world. Whatever they say, other people have to stick to if they want larger positioning in its search engine.
What are readily available packages?
It is determined by the Seo organization offering it. Basic packages frequently incorporate linkbuilding and report submission set at a specific quantity. For example, an Seo company might present at the very least 30 hyperlinks dropped on various high PR websites and no less than three written articles as a standard package. Other larger priced packages could involve more articles written and more links dropped on numerous pages.
What does it imply to outsource Search engine optimization?
To outsource Search engine marketing just signifies you hire a organization to supply Search engine marketing service. You have got two alternatives right here: you can either employ an onshore firm (a firm inside your nation) or operate with an offshore business enterprise (a organization located in a different country).
Why ought to you outsource Search engine optimization?
Search engine optimization outsourcing is actually a sensible option considering that this lets you do what you do most effective. As you collaborate with one more firm, you get professional services without having to lift a finger neither in dropping hyperlinks nor in writing articles. They're the ones undertaking each of the legwork while you concentrate on improving merchandise or services.

Make Your Own Archives
Make Your Own
Hello, before I sign off for the long Christmas weekend (have fun everyone!), I'd like to introduce a new semi-regular feature: Make Your Own. In it I'll give you information, instructions, ideas, and links for all kinds of book and magazine making. So, let's get started. It may be too late for you to make a book as a Christmas present but maybe if you're spending the week at your parents' house, you'll have some time/be bored enough to give a new project a try.
Here's a thorough and easy to understand article on how to perfect bind a book by hand. Brian Sawyer, a writer and editor for Make and Craft magazines, writes very clearly and includes some photos to help make the project easier.
And, of course, you are welcome to make and send us books. We'd love it.
Make Your Own: Paper
I have a friend who used to sit around in a storefront on Stanton Street all day and make her own paper. She often stained it with tea to make these nice muted colors. I woke up thinking I'd like to try to make some paper just to see what it's like. I found an easy to follow flickr set of instructions with photos. Follow this woman B. Zedan's instructions and you'll be all set. She also has other tutorials on her flickr site, including how to make a monotype print. Also related, from those crafty kids at Make: Zine, here's how elephant dung paper is made. Siick.
Mr. Mcginnis and I have some poster ideas we've been kicking around for a while. Last week we got some silk screening stuff at a friend's sidewalk sale and took it as a sign that we should get moving on this project. I've been searching around for some helpful how-tos and found these:
This most thorough Silkscreen How-To in all the world from Fecal Face is good for doing multiple colors in the old school way. Lots of clear photos and description.
Craftgrrl's LiveJournal has a good tutorial for some quick and easy 1-color screen printing. This is a great way to get started.
Artist Shannon Gerard (her website is cute!) gives a thorough and amusing tutorial on Jim Munroe's Blog No Media Kings. With the help of the Virgin Mary and Spiderman, she shows us how to screen posters and t-shirts.
Make:Zine's Bre Pettis and etsy.com's screenprinting expert Matt Stinchcomb's How to Screenprint T-shirts Weekend Projects podcast gives some helpful advice as well. And it's nice to be able to see them in action.
Make Your Own: Origami Mini Book
I am totally addicted to Instructables, a seemingly endless and always updated site of user-uploaded documentation for how to make just about anything imaginable (and then some!). For us print fetishists, there's plenty of entries for making books or using books to make other stuff. I just found one that shows how to make this cool little origami mini book. User ericsnapple's instructions yield a 12-page book without using any cuts or tape or staples. I bet you could vary the size with some fooling around. A lot of work for a large print run but I'd be into making a wee edition of something out of this.
Make Your Own: Envelope Book
Donovan Beeson posted a very clear and easy tutorial for making a book of envelopes for the Instructables and Etsy Sew Useful contest. Beeson is a maker of books and stationery, lover of vintage papers and admitted postal pervert—he loves everything to do with the mail. While I understand the idea of this, I'm too afraid of the Post Office to properly share his fetish. I do, however, share his appreciation for both the glory of office supplies and those paint chips from hardware stores. The envelope book he makes is beautiful and also a good organizing tool. I may have to make one to keep all my receipts straight. See also Beeson's Etsy store.
Make Your Own: Handmade Books
A nice fellow named Hamish MacDonald writes a long, full of info post on the pros and cons of the various methods of publishing a book for No Media Kings website. There is also a ton more useful info in the comments area.
Curiously Crafty has a straightforward how to for making a simple hardcover journal.
A tutorial on bookmaking from Instructables. As usual, lots of helpful hints from the comment gallery.
Make Your Own: Rubber Stamp
Ever since Mr. Mcginnis and I went to the Booklyn Salon, I've been all inspired to make more handmade stuff. I want to make a couple of rubber stamps for a new project. Instead of using a custom rubber stamp company, I looked around on the internet for some instructions for making my own. Scrapjazz, a scrapbook web forum, has good detailed instructions here. Alma Stoller has a really good rubber stamp carving tutorial over here. She also makes stuff and you can buy her stuff at her ETSY store.
Make Your Own: Diamond-Shaped Book
When I was a kid, my friends and I spent a lot of time making these paper fortune tellers. I even have a few good ones from back then in a drawer somewhere. When I'm sitting around, whether at home on the couch or in a meeting or class, I'm always fighting the urge to fidget. I need to be doing something at all times. Sometimes I still make these fortune tellers, or paper footballs, or the thing where you fold a dollar bill into a ring. While browsing around the Instructables website I found instructions for this cool tiny diamond-paged book. It looks complicated and has a ton of folds but the instructions are clear. The fun part is deciding how and what to draw on the little diamond-shaped pages. This book would be a great vehicle for a secret message. If you're still a student, surprise your neighbor by passing them this complicated note.
Yudu Screen Printing
I was mindlessly flipping channels when I came across this awesome screen printing device on the Home Shopping Network. Although it's marketing seems squarely aimed at soccer moms, I'm very intrigued. Although it kind of looks like a scanner, all it is is a compact screen printing station. What seems to be great about it is that it makes the whole process much less messy as well as minimizing the margin for error. Everything is held into place, the emulsion is in handy fruit roll-up form rather than a liquid - and it has it's own screen dryer. This is really great for someone who doesn't have a lot of space or is intimidated by all the pieces and bottles in the screen printing process. I kind of want this!
for now, this is the only link I can find where to buy it - for $229.00!

|Heinkel Cargo Net Closeup Detail
Here's a closeup of the original net, where some of the repair issues are apparent. The net was woven around a metal frame. Like everything else on a 50 year old car, the net frame was rusty and really needed to be painted. In the two places where the net comes together, the ropes were attached with a metal clamp, which was also corroded.
|Loops Around Metal Frame and Stitches
The net is an important interior feature of the car. It helps complete the interior appearance and is charming in its own way.
The Heinkel Club of Germany had some directions on how to re-weave the net. In the Club's Download area (members only) you can find an article entitled "Restaurationsanleitung für das Netz an der rechten Innenverkleidung der Kabine" by Cornelia Koster. It is well illustrated, with detailed diagrams on how to tie the knots.
After skimming this article I decided that the net was beyond my skills and temperament. My options were to send it out or see if I could convince someone in my family to try. Luckily I have very talented family members, and my daughter volunteered to give it a shot.
The first step was to translate the article from German into English. I cut and pasted the whole article into Google Translate a piece at a time, and eventually I had a passable translation of the task at hand.
|Close up of Net Loom with Tied Knots
I never realized nails could be so dirty! I had to polish 1.5 pounds of nails before I could hammer them into the board.
Once the loom is built you will be ready to weave one continuous piece of string around the nails in a predefined pattern, tying them at each nail. I used about 250 feet of 1/8" polyester cord from TW Evans.
Once you weave the string and crimp the ends, you weave the metal frame into the net and crimp the two loose ends to an adjacent piece of the netting.
The final step in completing the net is to get a piece of ¼" stretch cord and string it across the opening in the frame. This gives the net capability to secure items.
The whole thing is quite nice when it's done:

Games Table
Flat topped, square coffee tables double as game tables when they're painted to resemble chess or checkerboards. While black and white is the most obvious choice for a games-table top, other color combinations that also work include brown and cream, black and yellow, gold and silver, or whatever colors will complement your existing color scheme.
Draw out the eight by eight grid of the games board on the table top before you begin to paint, and use masking tape to square off the sections and get the lines straight.
Paint Sampler
Choose a selection of complementary colors and paint bold blocks of color on the surface of the table. This design idea works equally well with square or rectangular tables.
Choose a neutral color for the background of the table and then use the small sampler pots available in DIY stores to paint equally-sized blocks of matching colors across the table surface. Leave a gap between each block so the background color shows between the blocks like a border.
Animal Prints
Paint tiger stripes in orange and black or zebra stripes in black and white for a wild and eye-catching paint effect on coffee table tops. For both kind of stripes, first paint the background color, whether it's orange or white.
Make the stripes look more authentic by printing out an image of the stripes to use as a template. Enlarge the image either on your printer or a photocopier so the stripes are the size you need them for your table, then cut out the stripe sections, and arrange them on the table top until you find the layout you like.
Draw around them to make the outlines and then fill in the outlines with black paint.
Geometric Shapes
Cover the surface of the coffee table with overlapping squares and circles. Using plain paper, make one square template and one circle template.
Judge the size you need by the size of your table and the effect you want to produce. Have either lots of small shapes or a few larger ones.
Lay them on the table in the position you like and then draw around them to create an outline. Overlap some of the shapes so they look like they are behind each other.
