When the grandkids are visiting, a popular summer getaway for Southern California families is thePalm Springsarea desert. Yep…the heat may be on but the resorts have pools, waterslides and lazy rivers, golf is cheap, and restaurants are plentiful and kid-friendly.
Most resorts offer activities for children, and Artists-By-Design, based inPalmDesert, specializes in creativity. Headed by Don Swarm and aided by Lin Russeau, the couple showcases poolside pottery and canvas painting for kids.
Since 2006, this little business has mushroomed into providing numerous desert resorts—Marriott Desert Springs Villas, Marriott Shadow Ridge, Westin Villas, Rancho Las Palmas, La Quinta Resort, WorldMark—with creative activity for kids.
With a business background in marketing, Don's the driving force for expansion, and properties hosting the activity now includeMarriottNewportCoast, La Costa Resort inCarlsbadandHiltonMissionBayinSan Diego. They also hold pottery painting workshops at the Childrens Discovery Museum of the Desert in Rancho Mirage.
Don, 67, calls himself 'semi-retired'—he knew he needed some focus when it was time to give up the stress of travel and full-time marketing management. He readily admits to having zero artistic talent—he relies on Lin for that! Lin ("will you still need me, will you still feed me"), 64, claims that her 'talent' was discovered when Don recruited her to paint sets of pottery samples for each location…and she's been painting ever since. In addition to being a Beatles and Motown fan.
Kids choose from an assortment of pottery pieces (bisque), and use acrylic, water-based, non-toxic paints in multiple colors and glitters. Most pieces are either banks or boxes (Lin likes function), but a few of the most popular items are neither—the skateboard, the mermaid, the fairy. The finished masterpieces are not fired, but spray-glazed and ready for the painter in 10-15 minutes.
Originally begun as a seasonal business, with peak periods being summer, holiday vacations, and Spring breaks, the couple was contacted about offering a similar activity in the fall and winter for primarily adult guests…and the concept of painting on canvas was born.
In select locations, canvas painting is now offered to all ages in a workshop format—painters choose from a variety of images which are transferred onto an 8×10 canvas, and painting assistance is provided by the workshop leader. The results are amazing, and the activity helps nurture a confidence in any age painter.
Don and Lin agree that one of the best benefits of their business is working directly with the kids. Many families return each year, and the parents or grandparents comment about how the day's projected pottery painting activity was the topic of their breakfast conversation. The kids will proudly recite a list of pottery painted in previous years, and that they still have them!
While they can't personally be at each location for the events, Don and Lin have the help of an awesome and mature staff who conduct the pottery and canvas painting activities using the methodology of Artists-By-Design.
After all, as Don says, this is a retirement business!
Pottery-to-go is also offered for birthday parties or other events. Visit the website at http://www.artists-by-design.com/ for more information.

The graphic below is slide 7 of a 12-slide presentation that I made in front of a group of Asbury Research clients and potential clients during my trip to New York last week. It highlights our own metric, which tracks daily US market sector-related asset flows via the 9 Sector SPDR ETFs. Asbury Research clients receive updates on these data, and their directional implications, every week.
The chart on the left side of the slide shows that the percentage of all sector ETF-related sector bets allocated to Energy expanded from 9.6% on February 18th to 11.3% on March 4th, which indicated that an already under-loved sector was starting to attract some new money.
Our trend model, which utilizes the inputs from this metric, shifted to overweight in Energy on March 3rd. Since then, the sector has outperformed the S&P 500 SPDR ETF (SPY) by 3%.
The chart on the right side of the slide shows that the percentage of all sector ETF-related sector bets allocated to Health Care contracted from 12.9% on March 19th to 11.8% on March 31st, which indicated that investor assets were leaving an already over-loved sector — presumably for other areas of the market.
Since March 19th and through the close on April 9th, the sector has underperformed the S&P 500 SPDR ETF (SPY) by 3%.
Although these ETF asset flows need to be monitored closely to stay on top of existing and emerging trends in investors flows, our metric tends to coincide with or slightly lead near to intermediate term trends in relative sector outperformance or underperformance.

EBR sheriff highlights trying year during association gathering
BATON ROUGE – Sheriff Sid Gautreaux reflected on the trying year as he handed over the reigns of the Louisiana Sheriff's Association recently.
Gautreaux was the 71st president of the organization and completed his tenure as the head of the group – serving during a year of tragedy and high stress in the parish he polices.
"Serving as President of LSA has been the pinnacle of my law enforcement career," Sheriff Sid Gautreaux said. "To be selected by my peers to represent the collective office of 'sheriff' has been an honor and responsibility comparable to none. And while I had aspirations of doing what I could to help further the goals of LSA, it turns out that I needed the organization more than ever. In my more than 40 years in law enforcement I have never experienced such difficulties as we did this past summer. But, I have also never been a part of such collaboration and cooperation as we have today in large part due to this association. I can't begin to express my gratitude for the overwhelming response of support and personnel through the LSA Task Force.

I am not mad at all that (ONE) is making this instead of OPM
Is ONE better at drawing than the Shingeki no Kyojin mangaka now?
both of them have two modes of drawing, as many mangaka do. ~90% of the time he's lazy and comically worse than SnK's mangaka. But it's cartoonish rather than bad. 10% fo the time is like this when it's leaps and bounds better than usual SnK
But sometimes SnK crits the art check and makes shit like sexy Erwin
I'm way too hyped for the next chapter. I need it.

How To Create a Favicon for Your Website
In this blog post I will be looking at what Favicons are and how you can design one for your website.
What is a Favicon?
A favicon (short for favourite icon) is a small square image that is associated with a website. Favicons are typically displayed by a web browser in the address bar, browser tabs, website history and bookmarks lists; as well as other places depending on the browser & device you are using.
A good Favicon is very important as it presents a way to display your brand in a very compact space. As you can see with the examples below, these brands are instantly recognisable just from their Favicon designs.
The Evoluted favicon looks pixelated next to the others. This is because the favicon is designed at 16px by 16px, but this screen grab is taken from a retina display. I thought this issue would be a good opportunity to update it and demonstrate the process of creating a favicon that will look smooth on all devices & displays.
Designing your Favicon
When creating your favicon, it is important to keep the design very simple. If your company or website branding has a suitable icon, or predominant letter, then that would work well. I would recommend avoiding imagery, full brand names or wording. I will be using the Evoluted "flower" icon again for this example.
I suggest designing your icon on a 512px by 512px transparent canvas in Photoshop, before saving it as a transparent png file. I chose 512px by 512px as it breaks down well to the common Favicon sizes. Make sure that you zoom in to check that your design is crisp & sharp. If your design is pixelated or poor quality, then you will likely get poor results when you create your favicon files.
Once I have the PNG file, I will use an online tool called "realfavicongenerator.net" to generate all the Favicon variations that I need. There are many different favicon generators available, but I found realfavicongenerator.net very quick & simple to use. It generated good quality icons at all the different sizes that you could possibly require. These include icons for various for iOS, Android & Windows 8 devices too. Many of the other favicon generators only have basic 32×32 and 16×16 options available, whilst some others have poor results when it comes to the automatic resizing.
First, select & upload your favicon image.
Now, adjust the settings for iOS, Android & Windows 8. Below are the settings I selected for my icon.
Once you are happy with the settings you have chosen, you can generate your Favicons & get the necessary HTML code. From here you should be able to follow the simple instructions to download your Favicon package, then add the icons and code to your site.
Your Favicon collection should look something like this.
Here is the original Favicon (top image) compared to the new Favicon I have created (bottom image). The difference is only subtle, but you can tell the new one is sharper.
And finally, here is an example of one of the icons on an Apple device.

Nice post, I really like your post because Lots of people do not pay attention to favicons, it is very important. Thanks for sharing because you told how to make a favicon.Post reply

Benefits of Cedar Writing Decks
Decks are common furniture in offices, homes and learning institutions. People spend much of their time on decks whether they are working or entertaining themselves. There are a variety of decks depending on their purpose. Study decks, children's' deck and office decks are some of the variety of decks that you can find. When you go to purchase a deck, the amount of money you will spend will be determined by the design and the material used for making the deck of your choice.
Regardless of the changing tastes in the office furniture, certain types of writing decks are still fashionable. The main factors that people consider when they go to shop for their office or home furniture are the personal preference and aesthetics. Wood is the material that most carpenter use for making decks. Wood is the most common materials as it blends perfectly with various home and office decors. An example of pieces of furniture that are have remained popular and never seem to go out of fashion are the cedar writing decks. This is because it has a natural and captivating look and is most suitable for use in an office or home.
Cedar is a common type of wood that has a natural beauty and a pleasant smell. It would also make the best base for several office decors because it is very sturdy. The smell may not last for long but the quality and its original beauty remains the same. This makes it the best choice for writing decks. There is much maintenance tasks involved in the usage of an original cedar deck compared to a simple cedar finishing. despite of this, it is still the best option because well -designed decks would last longer.
For offices with wooden flooring and home offices, cedar writing decks will bled so well. If you are furnishing your home office with cedar writing decks, you should ensure that the other furnishings represent more of a home office than a modern office. The design can also blend well with a modern office that is designed uniquely. Definitely, a perfect example of a classic type of writing deck is the cedar writing deck. This does not mean that they can match any type of office design. Some cedar writing decks are more recent while others are older. Older cedar deck have a more original look but are not the best designing for wires , electronics and also computers.
5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Options
The cedar writing decks can be costly compared to other types of building materials. Most common building materials are very cheap but do not have an original and unique look. Cedar decks are the best for people who want beauty together with functionality.Why not learn more about Restorations?

Cutting Obama SOME slack
Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama has made a series of verbal gaffes. Whether it was his 57 states comment, forgetting the name of the city he was speaking in (Calling Sunrise, Florida - Sunshine and saying "Thank you, Sioux City!" when he was in Sioux Falls, Idaho), mispronouncing words and getting dates wrong. His Memorial Day speech has been roundly panned for his factual errors rather than being examined for policy statements it contained. The items in the speech being jumped on are his opening statement (where he acknowledges the dead people in the audience) and the paragraphs where he discussed his extended family's service in WW II.
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong. (H/T Newsbusters)and leading in to explain why he is pushing for more funding for Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (btw when the word syndrome is used you should question the science behind the diagnosis)
"I had an uncle who was one of the, um, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps. And the story in our family is that when he came home he just went up in the attic and he didn't leave the house for six months."Well, unless his uncle was with the Red Army he never got near Auschwitz which is in Poland and was "liberated" and then placed under communist rule for 4 decades by the Soviet Union. This prompted people to research his families military history and another mistake was found.
--Barack Obama, Memorial Day speech, Las Cruces, NM. (H/T NRO's Corner)
My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton's army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain. I don't oppose all wars.Well, research showed his grandfather was drafted in June of 1942 and it was a great-uncle (not an uncle) and his unit liberated a concentration camp saved by U.S. troops - Ohrdruf (rather than Auschwitz).
The title of this post was about cutting the candidate some slack so maybe I should start. Most of his verbal gaffes can be attributed to the nature of campaigning. Politicians will make mistakes when they are giving dozens of speeches each week. As far as the mistakes regarding his families history, I'll give SOME slack for a different reason - he was born 20 years later and stories change over time (the fish was THIS big). Additionally, I doubt any of the WW II stories were told first hand. My dad and all my uncles who were old enough served in WW II. However, I don't believe I ever heard a single one of them talk about it. That generation came home and got to work living a life that had been interrupted by war. The only accounts about their service was from my mom or an aunt just saying which theatre a couple uncles served in (Pacific).
While I can give Obama a little slack, I have a major problem with the mainstream media (and Jay Leno & his late night buddies) basically giving him a pass on all his mistakes. For decades any slip of the tongue from a Republican is leaped on and used to prove either stupidity or dishonesty yet a similar gaffes from a liberal is excused or ignored. During the 2000 campaign the media gleefully played gotcha with George Bush asking him to name the heads of a few countries. There is no chance at all the the In The Bag Media would play gotcha to embarrass Obama. Inexcusable difference in handling of candidates.
Separately, I capitalized the word SOME in the title for a reason. Sure I'll ignore some slips of the tongue and miss pronouncements. However, a Harvard educated presidential candidate who aspires to be commander in chief of our military should have a better understanding of geo-political history. People who pay attention are starting to see that an empty suit is close to being a major party nominee for president. However, the actions (or inaction) of the regular media will ensure the majority of voters (AKA: people who don't pay much attention) are shielded from his shortcomings. Last time we had a candidate this poorly vetted we ended up with Jimmy Carter. Another Carter now that's a scary thought.

Private Chronicle
By Pierre Molinier
The Cage of nymphs
Today I bring up the subject of Molinier, whilst I speak about him and some of his writing in our own private correspondence together, I must bring up the prudishness of his age. My belief is that the contacts I formed at the beginning of the 1960's have disappeared almost completely. I was bought into contact with him by a recommendation, which came from André Breton in Paris. Pierre Molinier had obviously his specific place in the surrealist world of this period. His place was assured even though he was not living in the big city, and I never heard anyone in the same field of work question his work or style. Forty years later, when I hear others talk about their experiences with him, including the likes Jean-Pierre Bouyxou, who spent much more time close to him than me, or at the other extreme of the scale, Jean-Luc Mercié who has a selection of extremely rich correspondence that shed an enormous amount of light on Pierre Moliner. I find myself at this point extremely unqualified to talk about this character, but ever more interested in his hidden depths. This sense of not being able to describe him, goes to the detail of his surrealist work, in how it was born and developed. Therefore, in the debates about this now departed artist, which focus on his work, his techniques, his personal motivation, we often have a feeling of unhappiness in the body of pictures he has left us with. During this process of revelation, we have to pose the question, who could have not been unhappy during this period?
It was during a look through one of his photographic series, that I was suddenly aware of the presence of Pierre Molinier, this just a little before his death, during this period, when my contact with him was more, and more occasional. My emotions are strong, very poignant, almost as strong as those shown in his pictures, which are in principle photo documentaries that display an exceptional sensitivity, and a level of improvisation that continues to make them come to life in front of our eyes. His pictures are bought to life, by their ability to capture a moment in time, and that fact that they appear not to be staged. The very particular conditions in which they are shot only enriches their documentary value, and turn them into something that can be described as a sublime project.
When Henri Maccheroni, on 8th August 1973 installed himself into his studios in the Attic of Saint Pierre, he was a recognized painter, but as he realized his series of photographs entitled 'un sexe de femme' the notoriety they gained soon rivaled his paintings, and one of the first drawn to this collection was Molinier. From then on the painter was left behind and his time was concentrated on producing a photographic mountain, that were the result of much patience and practice, right up until the time of his death. Even if for the most part great painters have used photography, for many different purposes and often in quite bizarre and one could even say quite embarrassing ways. The debate in terms of this work still rages, even if much, has been published and shown in galleries. Whilst it may have been popular this style of creative image has made a slow and timid start into the schools of fine arts. At the start of the 1970's, the prices of his photographs on the art market were quite modest. Even though the two men who met that day, not only shared the same artistic field, they also had the same approach of artists who are able to develop the nuances in photographic images. There images whilst erotic, reveal the essentials, because for them the function of a camera is to serve our voyeuristic pleasure, see, frame and aid our fetishes. The exchange between master and student - a whole generation separated them, must have been quite intimidating for the younger of the two even though accompanied by his young wife.
This relationship meant the adding of particular space to the studios – The bedroom workshop of Molinier – that became a real meeting point. The place has the feel of his breath full of desire and his obsession for the figures that he captured here. Restyled, painted and it must be said disguised by the paint, the models who penetrated the enclaves of this bedroom would have been surprised by the immobile figure, and would have surely soon have shared the suffocating atmosphere of the room with him. The master of his own space at last, it would soon allow him to create the ultimate models of his work. He would cloth himself in erotic necklaces that would help to bring to the surface the feminine desire that occupied his soul. This metamorphosis, which was like some form of magic ceremony – the hands that would adjust a corset or the high-heeled shoes were driven by meticulous fervor – this produced an under-current of exuberant familiarity that removes the typical undressing of an androgens accomplice. All this we see in silence!
In these conditions, Henri Meccheroni needed a lot ingenuity and audacity and a sense of abandon to ask for permission to photograph the artist at work. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only time and I pose the question what sentiment drove Molinier to accept his workspace being the subject of such a shoot of non-conforming pictures, showing him framed by mirrors, an act of auto-eroticism in progress. I think that Henri Meccheroni must have realized that it was not going to be an act of leisure, but he was producing a shoot of real depth. It is in this belief that we must preserve the moment between those privileged to be there, and Molinier even driven by his exceptional character, was above all under a pressure of time. The light that illuminated the room from a skylight was beginning to fade. This gives the ultimate character to the pictures, this impending interval between the shadow and the subject that really charges these images; that leaves them with a real feel of life, rather than the simple imagery of a documentary. It is out of the question that the images are posed. He consents only to be himself because he had never been able to play any other role. Here I find myself in a surreal dimension that makes for very special contacts.
For these contacts one needs to use several parts of one's inner-self with an arrogance and efficiency, surrealism constitutes another fear, that needs to exorcised, rational arguments cannot be listened to the movement towards a revolution is what marks the radical artist from the institutional one. In the photographic evidence of Henri Maccheroni there is the proof that right to the last Molinier refused to accept the norm. This however is not enough to distance this artist from the wave of anti-establishment feeling that really marked the ideology of this period. The fact that more than any analog art, photography needs the careful interaction of the model and the artist – something that adds to electric intensity of erotic pictures – only reminds us that this contact can achieve an ephemeral moment. That can give us the feeling of the capturing a moment in time, and then that moment is gone and is dead. When we look at these pictures in this way, the representation of a man whose death dates back 30 years, the depth of life in them is ever-present because of our knowledge of his impending departure. This aspect of the reportage of Henri Maccheroni would have probably amused Molinier, as the subject of his own death was familiar to him being one of his personal fantasies that would finally be revealed in the form of his own suicide, without perhaps being the cause. At this point, we need though to distinguish between an image and an act. These images of ones death are normally those of fantasy and from this point of view as such there is another part of the erotic transfiguration of the artist. The point of them of them was to bring life, they extinguished the thoughts of death more than they prepared them, because we cannot contemplate our final state, nor all the experiences we have gathered when we are in our own tomb. Molinier decided his own ultimate gesture, when his future seemed to form suddenly an un-climbable wall in front of him. When I new him he was quite an anxious person who wanted to publish a book that would cover the total of his work. He was someone motivated by a desire to exceed all limits.
This is why when looking at these photographs together, we find it difficult not to be touched profoundly by the contrasts that reference the fragility of the man and have become his own manner of communication, against the backdrop of the troubling permanence of his idols whose established hierarchy made him loose the emotion of desire. When looking at the enigmatic smile that they give us, the question is to know if Molinier was a great artist, or only one of mediocre talents or merit, this is somewhat derisory, because we touch at the limits of this notion. The objects that he has left behind him are in such bad taste, without the humorous quality that would allow us to class them with disdain in the category of pornography. They do not have as a goal the desire to satisfy the defined norms of a specific tradition, nor by some manner shaking the history of art, so the body of work never stops to loose its understanding, but is still there for us to use, and they are not just interesting for the most deviant thinkers. They are objects of true magic. When Molinier, is labeled as a fetishist – something that he himself accepted –in his terms - one should not stop with timidity, and this term needs to be considered in its original signification. As we see him, following the thread of this photo-reportage, the figures that are populating his immediate environment are fetishists, the idols of Molinier, at the same time as he is making them into his own vision, transfusing his own living soul into them, and this fact makes them come to life in an even more troubling way. The accent of provocation, helps to ensure the removal of any sense of stability and makes things move without allowing us to choose a point of focus, between the doll whose familiar stance seems improper, the statue that seems to have an overpowering expression, and the model whose powerful dreamlike look is too intense. The signs here are of an unbreakable marriage between the things, and a far off presence.
For us not to be captured in some doubtful metaphysical nebulous, we have to remember that to have the right to photograph these pictures. Molinier imposed one condition: Henri Maccheroni and Janine, his young wife had to appear in the photographs, which means that we have the joy of contemplating a female figure at the centre of this strange universe. I look at the clear face of a classic model whose emotions are clearly marked by her natural liveliness. Then the eyes open, as if all the light in the world has lit up this half-light, our look is turned and our eyes fall onto the face in deep thought. The pose is of a master's maid and the sensuality is restored. Then with two fingers on the chin, the face starts to be revealed, a new source of light. The lip still raised in a dubious manner starts to smile, the nostrils are palpitating with the clarity of the fairytale and the attentive eyes seem to understand a secret scene. At the end it is a smile that shows somewhat the timidity of a child.
That which is always resplendent and past, the silent reverie, the troubling immobility of the slow caress of playful pleasure, came to this place just to reveal this profound principle. Without this new Star, perhaps Henri Maccheroni would have never stepped into this world of flesh so often scrutinized, to come so close to the heart of femininity, so every object here has an echo, and they all combine to recall this founding father.

Makeup is a wonderful and beautiful thing, but so is the canvas you work on, also known as your face. I find the better you care for your skin, the better the makeup you apply sits and looks. Working as an actress, I travel quite a bit and wear a lot of makeup when I'm shooting, as my makeup artists are constantly touching me up and reapplying every couple of takes. I think it's safe to say my skin goes through a lot, so my preparation for it is very important to me.
After using and trying multiple brands and products, there are certain things I just can't live without. My Clarisonic is one of the most important things in my skincare routine. It cleanses 6X's better compared to just using your hands. You place your facial cleanser on the head, turn it on, and the Clarisonic works it's magic. You will definitely notice a difference! I use mine every other night or everyday if I'm shooting. Another product I can't live without is my moisturizer. I love this product so much I want to carry it around in my purse everyday. Cloud Cream by Skyn Iceland is my go-to moisturizer. It's light and fresh and leaves your skin feeling absolutely phenomenal. I even have to hide it from my husband, as he loves it just as much as I do. Perfect for conditioning your skin, especially in this cold, winter environment.

Following the mixed performance seen in the previous session, stocks may move to the upside in early trading on Tuesday. The major index futures are currently pointing to a higher open for the markets, with the Dow futures up by 83 points.
The upward momentum on Wall Street comes following the release of a Labor Department report showing a modest increase in consumer prices in the month of February.
The Labor Department said its consumer price index rose by 0.2 percent in February after climbing by 0.5 percent in January. Economists had expected consumer prices to rise by 0.2 percent.
Core consumer prices, which exclude food and energy prices, also edged up by 0.2 percent in February following a 0.3 percent increase in January. The uptick in core prices also matched expectations.
Trading may also be impacted by news that President Donald Trump plans to replace Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo.
After failing to sustain an initial upward move, stocks turned mixed over the course of the trading session on Monday. The mixed performance on the day came on the heels of the strong upward seen last Friday.
The major averages ended the day on opposite sides of the unchanged line. While the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 27.51 points or 0.4 percent to a new record closing high of 7,588.32, the Dow fell 157.13 points or 0.6 percent to 25,178.61 and the S&P 500 dipped 3.55 points or 0.1 percent to 2,783.02.
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region turned in a mixed performance during trading on Tuesday. Japan's Nikkei 225 Index advanced by 0.7 percent, while China's Shanghai Composite Index fell by 0.5 percent.

My new greenhouse project proceeds at a snail's pace, just as I expected it would. My husband assures me that once the foundation is in it will move much more quickly, right now I'm practising patience, a virtue that I'm trying to cultivate.
Last week the plumber and electrician visited and we now have services out to the building site, and the drainage/service ditch filled back in. I spent part of my weekend replacing the sod over the ditch, patchwork fashion. When we removed the sod earlier this year we laid the chunks out on bare ground in the flowerbeds, but they needed removing because winter-dormant bulbs and perennials are threatening to emerge through the grass!
Hopefully this weekend will see some construction of forms, but then we have a couple of busy weeks so I don't know exactly when we'll have a chance to pour cement.
In the meantime I've been working on acquiring some second-hand materials to lend character to the shed. Several weeks ago while I was visiting family in Victoria, I picked up a couple of vintage doors, a knob set and an old window for my construction project. One of the doors, the knob set and the window all date from the 1920's and I'm super excited about how they'll look together.
I also purchased a new light fixture – after checking out some vintage fixtures I decided I'd rather have something that didn't need re-wiring or threaten to burn my shed down! I've been pondering roofing materials, siding and paint colours and dredging the internet for inspiration. I'm leaning towards metal roofing for its durability and the fact that it comes in a plethora of vivid colours.
The doors and window will need some major prep work and a new coat of paint and I'm sure that they are coated with lead paint so I'll be sure to borrow a respirator when I sand them down! Of course first I will need to decide on a colour scheme; I really want to avoid boring but am not sure how brave I will be. I also don't want to use colours that I will tire of immediately…
Anybody have suggestions??

According to him, that was the best performance in five years.
Friday's send-off saw some 138 non-management staff of GRA being honoured.

Voters overwhelmingly backed a plan to reform Ohio's hyper-partisan process for drawing legislative districts, and supporters are already looking ahead to passing the same reforms for congressional districts next year.
"Today's win was an important first step, but it only got us halfway there," said Carrie Davis, executive director of the League of Women Voters of Ohio. "We need to take these new anti-gerrymandering rules that Issue 1 applied to the General Assembly and extend them to congressional districts, which are even more gerrymandered."
Issue 1, which will change the legislative redistricting process starting in 2021, when the lines are scheduled to be drawn again, won with 71 percent of the vote, according to final, unofficial results.
"Ohio voters can do amazing things when they work together. Let's work together to reform the congressional map," said Sandy Theis, executive director of ProgressOhio.

Cricket: THE FINAL DAY
Good one, Alistair.
Can we chase this down? I have the fear.
Cook - utter tripe
we will track it down but put us through the ringer while doing it
Listening to Raja and Agnew right now, it sounds like Amir is causing drama out there.
Might put a fiver on Pakistan. That'll guarantee an England win.Royter-Hatfood this'd this
I'll win £68.40 if England lose
Pakistan zindabad etc.
It's fine, Strauss just got dropped
he will get a half century at least now.
I think Cook is due a stint in County cricket now.
I think we'll win this Test with four down though.
- bobbygeorge this'd this
i wish i thought this would happen
but i fear he'll knock a 100 at lords and his stock will suddenly rise again. plus, who would we replace him with? i guess it has to be between carberry and lyth but carberry's had an erratic season and lyth's still very green...
It's England.
Trott moves to opener, Bopara comes in at 3 or 4 and hits two centuries and suddenly we're even more confused than we once were.
oh god
bop's in great nick at the moment but there's absolutely no way he can come back into the test squad and straight into another ashes series, let alone one in aus.
and trott opening is an idea so atrocious that only england would think to try it.
He's lucky Bell is injured.
As a result, I reckon he'll get one more chance at Lord's. I doubt he'll take it though.
Next test is that the Oval though
That should be more to his liking, a lot less swing and seam movement I'd guess.
Cook makes me sad
I basically decided at the start of his career he was going to become the greatest batsman of all time, but at the moment he bats like me
Things that are niggling at me about England at the moment
Well, basically the top order really
Cook - obvs
Strauss' love of scoring somewhere between 42 and 53. I want to see some huge scores from him, like that 170 odd that saved his career against NZ
Trott - in general, he just seems to be "there" at the moment. A reassuring presence at 3 but wouldn't mind a few more runs
Add to that
what will Anderson do when the ball's not swinging? I think he'll struggle in Aus.
Land it on the seam, make it reverse-swing, bowl yorkers and bouncers
He's getting more accurate by the season - I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to do these things
and if not well then Chris Tremlett's coming into a bit of form I see :D
You saw the Ashes last year, yeah?
I don't think there's been any advance on that. There's no one better in the world when the ball's swinging, pretty innocuous otherwise.
Well, Finn and Broad should cause such problems
with Swann as buzzing hornet deputy, that Anderson's job would simply be to outbowl Ben Hilfenhaus
am struggling to think of a bowler I'd rather see in Anderson's place - Shahzad ain't ready IMO (although must be in the squad) and Tremlett's still very suspect regarding injury
The biggest concern of mine is that England revert to Panesar ahead of Rashid for second spinner - it absolutely HAS to be Rashid. Tredwell at a push, but nah Rashid.
Yes, this is the hole in my argument
I can't think of anybody I'd replace him with. I remember him being pretty handy with the reverse swing in the Windies last year on those flat tracks. Do bowlers get much reverse swing in Aus?
Depends on the pitch
I'd imagine Perth and Sydney are a bit reverse-swingy, not sure about the others. I think there's a little on offer - seam movement is obviously the best way to take wickets in Australia, which is why Stuart Broad will be our most important bowler
Finn is still pretty raw though, and Broad goes through spells of being either
Unplayable, innocous or really stroppy.
In English conditions there's no finer attack, but I worry in Aus they could take a bit of a pounding.
For me the big positive is the fielding has looked razor sharp
I think this attack will do pretty well in Australia
My main concern is lower-order runs from the Australians, which could well be pivotal, and my second concern is Shaun Tait coming in and wreaking merry hell
also, Bollinger/Johnson won't be off-form for long - expect them to roar back with a passion, inna 'last session of their Second Test against Pakistan' stylee
i think johnson could be the game changer
he's going to be so much better in australian conditions that it will really rebalance their attack.
and yes. tait. let's all pray he doesn't rediscover his cojones.
If Chris Tremlett wasn't made of glass
He'd have 100 test wickets by now.
So, so heavy on the bat and lovely, lovely rhythm. Finn has the best repeatable action I've seen from an England bowler since Tremlett.
Also, Stuart Broad is a tosser. I wish he'd grow up, just an eminently unlikable individual - the anti-Swann if you will.
Aha, I'm gonna have to post this again aren't I!
Have it on good authority that Swann is a prize twat, an arrogant sod of the highest order
now I think he's brilliant and I love his on-field personality but I'm not sure I'd want to meet him in a bar given what I've heard
Broad otoh strikes me as a nice, thoughful guy off the pitch who occasionally misjudges how to be 'competitive' on the field of play - a sort of budding Andre Nel, perhaps - wonder what he'll name his Gunther?
This much is pretty clear
Swann is an Oasis fan at the end of the day.
I like Trott's batting under certain circumstances
such as 'a low runchase' or 'when diligence is required'
but I don't like Trott - as a character he doesn't compel me - Jacques Kallis without the aura of impenetrability or the shots
Cook will be given the rest of the series.
Strass has just passed Vaughan's total of career runs,
and is about 30 short of Nasser Hussain now.
What were the odds on that a few years ago?
depending how far back we're going
in '05 he was excellent and in '07 he was a wretched, and in 08 he was back to being excellent again (though possibly not quite the giant i'd hoped he'd become after 2004-05).
I do actually love him
I was furious when they didn't make him captain before the last Ashes in Aus, and Eng got what they deserved picking Flintoff.
But of late he seems to make a good start, get going and then randomly turn his brain off

The White Wedding Gown: Is It For You?
Not All Brides Wear White... A History...
Queen Elizabeth I of England loved the color white. She wore it often and because she was known as the Virgin Queen, white became the symbol of purity and virginity.
Hundreds of years later, a distant relative, Queen Victoria, broke royal tradition and instead of wearing silver to her wedding as all royals before her--wore white. The tradition stuck!
White and How It's Evolved...
Today, white is no longer symbolic of purity, but rather is a color associated with weddings as one of joy and celebration.
Many bridal-gown designers have now extended their lines and have included color into their collections from blush, to the palest blue, to the lightest of gold... these gowns are stunning.
Should You Buy A White Wedding Gown?
Many women are "washed out" by wearing white. If that's the case, let me give you a few options:
* Silk gowns are off-white, whereas gowns made from synthetic fabrics tend to be white-white. If pure white washes you out, try silk. But be aware that silk is more expensive!
* Try ivory: Ivory is traditionally correct for a wedding and is softer and more flattering than white, in most cases.
* Try blush: Blush is a palest of pink colors.
* Try gold: Some designers make gorgeous gowns in the palest shades of gold, which are rich and elegant.
* And for those who must wear white? Buy a gown that has a low neckline, keeping the fabric as far from the face as possible.

Today's blog continues my earlier look at Toastmasters International—a 501(c)(3) volunteer-driven membership organization from the perspective of Bruce Temkins' Six Laws of Customer Experience — The Fundamental Truths that Define How Organizations Treat Customers. I start from the self-evident premise that Toastmasters International must sell memberships around the globe. Memberships sales occur one at a time when a volunteer recruits another and when a current member renews her or his dues. Membership sales occur twenty-plus-at-a-time when a volunteer gathers together enough prospective members to form a new club.
Temkin's Six Laws are here and below:
1) Every interaction creates a personal reaction.
2) People are instinctively self-centered.
3) Customer familiarity breeds alignment.
4) Unengaged employees don't create engaged customers.
5) Employees do what is measured, incented, and celebrated.
6) You can't fake it.
Temkin points out that everyone has their own frame of reference, which heavily influences what they do and how they do it.
In a Toastmasters marketing situation, prospective members, for instance, care intensely about their own needs and desires but they don't generally know or care as much about how Toastmasters clubs are organized. Current members have their individual frames of reference that prospects do not.
Consequences of this law in the Toastmasters context include the following:
You know more about the program than your prospective members. You can't eliminate your biases, but it helps to acknowledge them. Recognize that prospective members may not understand things like our multiple acronyms and service chart. Simplify your language and cut the Toastmasters lingo!
Don't sell memberships twice a year when "dues are due." Instead, help current and prospective members buy them. What value do your current and prospective members believe will come with membership—new OR renewing?
Don't let the Toastmasters service chart drive all experiences. Just because we have several layers of our organization from club to Board of Directors, that does not permit you to make prospective members jump through organizational hoops to participate as she or he wants to.
The bottom line is: Shift from self-centeredness to member centeredness — both potential and current. You will grow, and so will your membership.
