@ NeoseekerMSI has created something that was actually able to surprise us, as the R7770 PE is not only the first HD 7770 on the market to include a triple over-voltage feature, but it is also the first to our knowledge that has a customizable thermal solution. The R7770 PE includes an additional fan that can be installed on the card itself in different configuration to improve the thermal performance in different ways. Find out how it works in our review.

Mariners seeking offense at Winter Meetings
Impact bat the focal point, but club won't rule out adding a starting pitcher
After finishing last in the American League in scoring for a fourth straight season, the club has already announced it will move in the fences at spacious Safeco Field next year in order to help a 75-87 team that did rank fifth in the league in runs on the road in 2012.
But the Mariners also would like to upgrade a young club that lacked a veteran run producer in the middle of its lineup, and Zduriencik has a little payroll room now that Ichiro Suzuki and his $18 million contract are off the books. The Mariners have indicated a willingness to increase their budget from last year, when an original figure in the $90 million range wound up closer to $83 million after midseason trades.
"If we can help ourselves, certainly we will," said Zduriencik. "Offense would be a focal point, but if there are other avenues, if we could add a starting pitcher, who knows what might present itself both for this year and with the bigger picture in mind. Sometimes the best-laid plans of mice and men go awry, so you have to go to the next plan."
The right-field spot that Ichiro manned for the previous dozen seasons seems the logical place to add someone with more pop, though Zduriencik isn't limiting his search to corner outfielders.
"Our target is to try to do something to add offense," Zduriencik said. "If it's a corner outfielder, that's great. If it's a different position, we'll have to make some decisions on how the lineup will look. I think we have a degree of flexibility if we can get the right piece."
The club has met with free-agent catcher/first baseman Mike Napoli, whose versatility and veteran presence could make for an interesting match. The Mariners are also actively talking trade, which is the route Zduriencik took a year ago when he moved promising young right-hander Michael Pineda to the Yankees for catcher Jesus Montero.
Thus, Zduriencik figures to be busy in Nashville, where the Meetings take place Dec. 3-6 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort. But action won't be limited to the Music City.
"I think this will be an interesting week as we get closer to the meetings," he said. "Momentum starts to build from here on out. A lot of agents are out there gauging clubs' interest, having discussions. They kind of gear the Winter Meetings as a platform to move forward, but we've seen stuff happen before the Meetings and we'll see things after."
Zduriencik said "this isn't a scenario where there are unlimited dollars" and he isn't going to put all of his eggs in one big free-agent basket. He's already acknowledged that Seattle doesn't figure to be a player in the Josh Hamilton derby, with the former Rangers star expected to push for a contract in the seven-year, $175 million range.
Instead, the Mariners will look to bolster their roster in several spots and continue building around a young core that includes Montero, Kyle Seager, Dustin Ackley, Michael Saunders and, of course, Felix Hernandez.
Zduriencik has already used some of his available payroll to re-sign right-handed starter Hisashi Iwakuma and left-handed reliever Oliver Perez, plus adding veteran infielder Robert Andino in a trade with the Orioles for Trayvon Robinson.
Iwakuma agreed to a two-year, $13 million extension after a promising first season in the Majors and helps solidify the rotation behind Hernandez and Jason Vargas, with youngsters Erasmo Ramirez, Blake Beavan, Danny Hultzen, James Paxton, Taijuan Walker and Brandon Maurer expected to battle for spots as well.
But Zduriencik isn't ruling out adding another veteran starter in order to take the pressure off promoting pitchers before they're ready.
"No doubt about it, if the right piece is there that we think makes us better, we'd certainly engage in those conversations," he said. "You look at our upper-level prospects -- Hultzen, Walker, Paxton, Maurer, [Andrew] Carraway -- none of them are proven at the big league level. As much as we like them, we're not sure what we'll get in Spring Training.
"There's not an urgency for that to happen. We have to look at what is best for the player, because they'll be with us for years to come. It wouldn't surprise me if one or even two of those guys make the club. It also wouldn't surprise me if they need time in Triple-A to get ready."
It also shouldn't surprise anyone if one or more top prospects are involved in a trade for a bat. Having a little payroll flexibility isn't just of value in free agency. It also gives Zduriencik the ability to take on some salary in a trade, instead of just operating on a prospect-for-prospect deal like the Montero-Pineda swap.
"We've had ongoing discussions, but what we're all finding is how valuable young, inexpensive players are to clubs," he said. "We've had a lot of interest in our players. I'm not saying the right match has arisen yet, but there's a lot of interest in our young kids. People see the upside.
"We've worked hard for these four years, chugging uphill, and are at the point now where we're looking at a very bright future. So I do think in all these discussions, there's this balancing act between wanting to do something now and wanting to do the right thing for the organization for the long run.
"The best thing to do is continue to stay the course, and if we can augment what we're doing, where it looks like the best thing for us, then that's what we will do."

News and Events
PMS Parking CEO featured in State of Maryland Governor's Office of Minority Affairs Newsletter
"…PMS Parking Inc. is a company that leases and manages parking garages & lots. That includes municipal parking, event parking, hotel and hotel valet parking, residential parking, commercial parking, college event parking, and self and valet parking.
… Geletu said, "Entrepreneurship is in my blood. My parents owned a textile distributorship in Ethiopia and I grew up knowing that I wanted my own business too."
Geletu and her husband were familiar with the parking business as a result of working in garages to put themselves through school. Geletu noticed that despite their prime location, the Holiday Inn in Baltimore was not charging for parking. She persuaded her husband to talk to the general manager who agreed to let the Geletus' manage the garage as long as they were able to afford a $1 million insurance policy. The Geletus' scrambled to raise the money they needed for the insurance and also to resurface the garage and install a ticket machine and guard booth. The Holiday Inn became PMS Parking's first client in November of 1988 and is still their client today.
… Geletu said, "Women who start businesses must have a passion for what they do. They must have a plan and they must be strong. I have never been afraid to approach big companies and I've never been intimidated by men. Also, if they have a passion and a plan, they should never let anyone change their mind." …"

Pheochromocytoma Tumor Symptoms
What Are the Symptoms of Pheochromocytoma?
Someone with a pheochromocytoma usually has three classic symptoms, headache, sweating, and heart palpitations (a fast heart beat) in association with markedly elevated blood pressure (hypertension). Other conditions that may accompany these classic symptoms are as follows:
- anxiety,
- nausea,
- tremors,
- weakness,
- abdominal pain, and
- weight loss.
Some people, however, never develop symptoms of a pheochromocytoma. Up to 10% of cases are discovered incidentally, meaning that they are not suspected and only found when the patient is undergoing diagnostic studies for other conditions.

Can't believe a whole week has gone by since Rhymesayers Entertainment held it down in Minnesota with their annual Soundset festival. A festival which in my opinion is one of the more entertaining festivals to go to each year. That mainly due to the amount of activity taking place inside Canturbery Park. It's literally the Hip Hop culture down to the tee. You got some of the biggest names in Hip Hop holding it down on several stages mixed with an array of beautiful cars lined up for the car show, and a live view of some of the more respected (street)artists in the game throwing down on an Ironlak sponsored P wall. You can bet that you'll be instore for a great time if the climate works in your favor.
Unfortunately for me…the weather didn't play nice this year. 2013 forced out the jackets and hoodies as a cold and gloomy atmosphere took over pretty much the entire day. Still that wasn't going to slow down or stop anyone from having a good time. So I made my rounds from end to end exploring, observing, and listening. This year I was fortunate enough to have caught a bit of every artist I was most looking forward to seeing take the stage. A hand full of them putting on a great set. Artists like Juicy J and Joey Bada$$ were among the few talents who kept a hype crowd. Other acts like Schoolboy Q and Mac Miller lost a few of us throughout their set.
Juicy J pretty much lived up to the performance I expected out of him. He kept his character and really got the crowd turned up performing hit records such as "Bandz A Make Her Dance," and Three 6 Mafia classics like "Stay Fly." Artists Joey Bada$$, Dizzy Wright, and A$AP Ferg were among some of the more impressive acts, who much like Juicy J kept me in tune throughout their entire sets. It's too bad I can't say the same about Mac Miller or Schoolboy Q who both lost me and a crowd of others throughout each of their sets. In my opinion Mac is just a terrible performer and Schoolboy Q just had his tracking all out of wack. I don't know about y'all….but I expect every performer to come with the hype and keep every fan engaged at an event as big as Soundset.
Overall I'd give the Rhymesayers crew a thumb and a half up for putting on yet another well executed fest. Their issues with press check in keeps the other half of the thumb however. Seemed as if they had quite a handful of issues in that department. Next year is another year though. I look forward to returning each May for several years to come. I only see this festival getting bigger and bigger as each year goes by.

It's not quite smell-o-vision, but UCF researchers are kicking off a study that will combine a virtual-reality simulation of wartime scenes along with the "smells" of Middle East combat zones to help veterans overcome post-traumatic stress disorder.
Because smells are so acutely tied to memories, researchers hope that the combination of reliving painful experiences — along with the smells of war — will help Iraq and Afghanistan veterans overcome their anxieties.
Known as exposure therapy, the technique teaches people to face their fears by confronting them gradually. "If you're afraid of a dog, how do you get over it? By being around a dog," said Dr. Deborah Beidel, a University of Central Florida psychology professor who is leading the study.
In the program, Beidel and a team of therapists will use software programs known as Virtual Iraq and Virtual Afghanistan — which look like a video game but simulate the experience of being in those countries — to duplicate the traumatic experiences the soldier witnessed.
Gradually, the teams will take the soldier back through the experience, talking about it and reliving it until he or she overcomes the fear.
And though researchers have been using Virtual Iraq for several years, the smells, Beidel said, may be a key part of reliving the experience. The computer that runs the virtual-reality program is hooked up to a scent machine with 13 scents, ranging from burned rubber to gunpowder to "Middle Eastern spices."
By pushing a button, therapists running the program can send off a puff of air that contains those scents — and have it travel right under the vet's nose.
Adding scents to the Virtual Iraq package, said creator Skip Rizzo, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California, was designed to make the experience more realistic.
"Smell is a real primordial. You walk by a bakery, and it reminds you of being 5 years old and your grandmother baking bread. It has an incredible capacity to activate old memories," he said.
For Vietnam veterans, he said, the smell of swamps or even the scent of Asian food triggered wartime memories.
If results from the UCF study are promising, they may become part of Veterans Affairs treatment programs throughout the country.
How big is the problem?
Rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury among troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan have been disproportionately high, according to a study by the Rand Corp. A third of returning troops have reported mental problems, and 18.5 percent of all returning service members battle either post-traumatic stress or depression.
Like Vietnam veterans — who said they dropped to the ground every time a helicopter flew overhead because that was how they were trained — many of today's veterans find that the stresses they endured overseas have followed them home and are interfering with civilian life, Beidel said.
Some find themselves checking the sides of the road for IEDs while driving down Interstate 4. Although they know that the chance of a roadside bomb on a local interstate is remote, they can't stop themselves.
The first step in treating vets for post-traumatic stress disorder, say therapists, is getting them to talk about their traumatic experiences, such as being attacked or ambushed, seeing dead bodies, being shot at or knowing someone who was killed or seriously hurt.
When asked about the events that may have sparked their post-traumatic stress, many vets provide only the basic details — a "just the facts" recitation of the events — said Rizzo. But in time, he said, therapists can help them open up and provide more detail.
Using that information, therapists can set up a virtual scenario that helps the vet walk through the experience again. In Virtual Iraq, the soldier can be placed in a Humvee, either driving, as a passenger or in the gun turret. He or she can go on street patrol through a city market or walk into a mosque.
The therapist then can add pieces to the scenario, including people running into the street, a roadside bomb exploding or a helicopter flying overhead. A car may explode in the marketplace or the passenger in the Humvee may get shot and slump over.
Though veterans experience many stressful encounters, Beidel said most can pinpoint one event that was the most traumatic — and it's often the subject of their nightmares.
Reliving it, she said, can gradually reduce their anxiety.
"Their flashbacks are so anxiety-ridden that they can't sleep, they can't drive down I-4 without scanning for IEDs," she said. "We're trying to help them so they don't have the flashbacks or they don't feel nauseous every time they smell diesel fuel."
A tool, not a fix
For the UCF study, 120 veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder will be recruited in two locations, UCF and the Medical University of South Carolina. The veterans will be divided into two groups.
For the first five weeks, all the vets will use the Virtual Iraq or Virtual Afghanistan video simulation, along with the smells. For the remaining 12 weeks, half of the veterans will receive group therapy aimed at helping with social and emotional problems, including problem-solving and anger-management training. The other half will receive standard mental-health treatment that they would receive at VA hospitals or clinics.
Funded by the U.S. Army, the study's researchers are recruiting veterans to participate.
The challenge for researchers and mental-health professionals has been getting vets to stick with treatment without dropping out.
But Beidel and Rizzo think that this type of treatment — using a virtual-reality scenario that looks a lot like a video game — may appeal to this generation of vets more than traditional therapy.
"We've got a generation of soldiers who grew up digitally, so they're at home with the technology," Rizzo said. "You may draw somebody in with this, by saying, 'We're gong to put you in a video game.' "
And though there's no chance for revenge — or even fighting — reliving the experience can change their lives.
"The technology doesn't fix anybody," Rizzo said. "It's a tool for the therapist.
"When you do this and you put somebody in that environment, a good therapist will say, 'Let's do it again, but take me back to an hour before this' — and eventually they open up.
"These guys are bound up when you first see them, but at some point all of a sudden the stories start coming out," Rizzo said. "And they start talking to someone about something they haven't talked about before."
email@example.com or 407-420-5433
To participate
Wanted: Military service men and women who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and who are seeking treatment for combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder.
Treatment is free.
For information, call 407-823-1668. A study organizer will interview you over the telephone and then may ask participants to go to UCF for a more complete interview. Those not accepted into the study will be directed to other places for treatment.

Circa 2002
Spicy Aromatic Roasted Pork Belly
500 g pork belly (skin on)
1⁄2 teaspoon sesame oil
small knob of ginger thickly sliced
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 star anise
2 tsp chilli paste (chilli and oil) or 1 dried chilli
2 tsp Sichuan pepper
2 tsp salt
3 cups hot water
steamed rice and gai lan to serve
To ensure a crisp skin pour hot water over the pork belly, fat side up. Dry thoroughly with paper towels and set aside to dry completely.
In a mortar and pestle combine the garlic, star anise, Sichuan pepper, five-spice and chilli paste with the sesame oil.
Score the fat of the pork lightly and then rub the mixture all over the pork, particularly into the incisions you have made on the skin
Preheat the oven to 220C. Prepare a baking tray with rack by filling it 1/3 of the way up with warm water. Scatter the ginger over this. Place the pork skin side up on a rack suspended over the water.
Allow to roast for 30 minutes and then turn the oven down to 180C and allow to cook for another 20 minutes. Your pork should be sufficiently moist and succulent not to require a sauce although any sort of soy reduction would work well. Slice thickly and serve with rice and gai lan.

I've been looking forward to pork belly all summer! Almost time to buy some here. You know, it's still in a lot of the good restaurants here. As long as it's local/ organically farmed, chefs are still excited about it. I guess we're behind you guys on the pork belly curve! Gorgeous recipe.

I have a (rather flexible) rule that I cook and eat fairly healthy, low fat food at home. When I go out for a meal, however, I eat whatever I want. It works well for me expect when it comes to pork belly! I love it and you just do not get it in restaurants just now!
This sounds delicious. Reminiscent of a Simon Hopkinson recipe I tried once and died for.
Great post!

Figs olives wine- I think you're actually ahead of us. I'd much rather see people relying on what produce is good rather than food fads. Sounds like you have a much better approach :)
Thanks Wendy! It is a bit of an indulgence but I think one that is very much worth it!

In the middle of Gunma Prefecture, there is an infernal train station : this one takes you straight to the center of the earth! Almost. It is the deepest train station in activity in Japan: here is the Doai Station! The platform looks like the one from a ghost station. There is almost nobody, I only met two families who came down here for the purpose of sightseeing. There is no activity whatsoever, it's cold, the only bit of life comes from the neon lights.

This is an antique rose gold tiger claw/nail brooch. The gold is marked with a Dutch leaf (see photo) which means 14K gold. From upper-left corner to bottom point is about 4 cm
This brooch I haven't because I think it's beautiful but these kind of jewelry belongs in a collection of antique jewelry in my opinion. Fortunately, the hunting of tigers today prohibited.
Certainly our remote ancestors made use of animal claws in their jewelry, but not too many examples have been prominent in Western culture in the last couple of centuries--particularly not in settings of high karat gold. A notable exception to this is "tiger claw" jewelry seen sometimes in the antique market and hotly pursued by collectors. During the British colonial period in India, the wild tigers which are, so rightly, strictly protected in today's world, were seen as vermin or a particularly threatening child. The "Sahibs" tiger hunts were, at least to read British-authored historical accounts, much encouraged and appreciated by the native population Jewelers set the claws in brooches, pendants and earrings.
Have you any idea of dating of this brooch??
If you are intested in 12 very beautiful and interesting photos of historical jewels please read my article of my visit to the Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim in Germany on link:


text: Belfast Days Antrim's main draw is undoubtedly Belfast, Northern Ireland's capital city. The RMS Titanic was built in this port city: "she was fine when she left here," as locals like to quip. A century later, the iconic new Titanic Belfast visitor attraction is the centrepiece of a rejuvenated quarter named after the ill-fated liner. A hub of 20th century industry, Belfast today is energetic and outward-looking. Home to the Metropolitan Arts Centre (MAC) and to many gleaming hotels and shopping malls, the city also boasts an impressive music pedigree, even hosting the MTV Europe Music Awards in the SSE Arena. If you are a blues head, if you are a reggae head, if you are a techno head, if you're just a wee groover – there's always somewhere in Belfast that's doing it. Bronagh Gallagher, Musician Beyond the music, you can rewind though the last forty years as the city's political history unfolds before you on a brilliant Black Taxi Tour. Sit back, relax and let the taxi drivers do the talking – they've certainly got lots to say! Beyond Belfast Stretching all the way from the mythical nine glens to Dunluce Castle, Antrim is where you'll find the largest lake in Ireland or Britain (Lough Neagh); the birthplace of Hollywood hunk Liam Neeson (Ballymena); and one of the most recognisable UNESCO World Heritage Sites in western Europe: the Giant's Causeway. If you go with Lonely Planet's take on Northern Ireland's north coast as "a giant geology classroom", then the Giant's Causeway is lesson number one. Taking the form of 40,000 basalt columns cascading into the Irish Sea, the Causeway was created by millions of years of volcanic and geologic activity – or, if you prefer, by mythical giant Fionn mac Cumhaill as a series of steps to transport him to Scotland. If you do visit the Causeway, don't miss the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge nearby. Originally erected by fishermen to check salmon nets, today the structure takes you on a precarious path over a 20m-wide (and 23m-deep) chasm to Carrick Island. Just try not to look down! If you do, don't fret. Back on solid ground, there's tonic in wait at the Old Bushmills whiskey distillery. Game of Thrones territory Between city and coast, Antrim also offers up a fine road trip in the shape of a meander through the Glens of Antrim. The nine, deeply carved glens are spread within 20 square miles of the Antrim Coast Road and offer the chance to see not just glacial valleys, but sandy beaches, vertical cliffs and waterfalls, interspersed with ancient cultural sites. It comes as no surprise, then, that Antrim is where the epic landscapes of Game of Thrones come to life. From the Dothraki grasslands to the Kingsroad and the 400-million-year-old caves at Cushendun – the site of the birth of Melisandre's shadow-baby – there's a lot to pack in. Getting a taste for the Irish outdoors? Don't stop there. There is great surfing in the Atlantic rollers off the Antrim coast, scuba diving from Rathlin Island, and a world-class links course at the Royal Portrush Golf Club, host to The Open in 2019. Fore! We Recommend County DownThe Mourne Mountains, the Silent Valley and St Patrick: you must be in County Down. County ArmaghArmagh, the Orchard County, is steeped in history, architecture and stunning scenery. County Derry~LondonderryStep inside this modern metropolis: one of Europe's finest walled cities.

Coming events cast their shadows before: Gregory was the prefect of Rome before he was 30. After five years in office he resigned, founded six monasteries on his Sicilian estate and became a Benedictine monk in his own home at Rome.
Ordained a priest, he became one of the pope's seven deacons, and also served six years in the East as papal representative in Constantinople. He was recalled to become abbot, and at the age of 50 was elected pope by the clergy and people of Rome.
He was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He was very concerned about the conversion of England, sending 40 monks from his own monastery. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, for strengthening respect for doctrine. Whether he was largely responsible for the revision of "Gregorian" chant is disputed.
Gregory lived in a time of perpetual strife with invading Lombards and difficult relations with the East. When Rome itself was under attack, he interviewed the Lombard king.
An Anglican historian has written: "It is impossible to conceive what would have been the confusion, the lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is Gregory the Great."
His book, Pastoral Care, on the duties and qualities of a bishop, was read for centuries after his death. He described bishops mainly as physicians whose main duties were preaching and the enforcement of discipline. In his own down-to-earth preaching, Gregory was skilled at applying the daily gospel to the needs of his listeners. Called "the Great," Gregory has been given a place with Augustine (August 28), Ambrose (December 7) and Jerome (September 30)as one of the four key doctors of the Western Church.

I'm having trouble on a program where I am supposed prompt the user for a positive integer and then displays those integers.
My teacher told me to use this:
Initialize a counter to 2
while the counter is less than or equal to the number
if the counter divides the number evenly
display the counter
divide the number by the counter to get a new number
else increment counter by 1
This is what I tried:
import java.util.Scanner; public class PrimeFactors { public static void main(String []args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int n; int i; System.out.println("What is your number?"); n = input.nextInt(); for(i = 2;i<=n;i++) while (i <= n) { if(i%n == 0) System.out.println(i); else i++; } } }
It has an infinite loop. Help?????

I thought I might indulge my interest a bit further and get some proper training. A nice simplish day out with an expert in a conducive environment would suffice. I don't need to be pulling championship quality shots after eight hours.
I live in the North West Midlands and I am inclined to travel to Manchester for entertainment, shopping etc. And I lived in Birmingham for a while so I am comfortable there.
I have Googled Barista training and everything seems to be based in Yorkshire!! Why might that be do you suppose?
Anyway, before plumping for a trip up the M6 and M62 I wonder if any of you out there know of a suitable training provider in the region between Birmingham and Manchester?
Thanks for your help in advance.

David Brooks Unhinged
David Brooks went completely off the deep end last night in critiquing Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's Republican response to Barack Obama's address to Congress. According to Brooks, "in a moment when only the federal government is big enough to actually do stuff‐ to just ignore all that and just say 'government is the problem, corruption, earmarks, wasteful spending,' it's just a form of nihilism."
Now, I thought Jindal's speech was rather banal and poorly delivered, but since when is it nihilism to oppose "corruption, earmarks, and wasteful spending"? Apparently, government should just do "stuff." It doesn't really matter whether that "stuff" is good or not, whether it will actually stimulate the economy or not. And of course, there is no problem with the fact that that "stuff" includes a government takeover of our health care system, an unworkable and expensive energy policy, an extension of a federal education policy that has failed to educate our children, higher taxes, greater debt, and more spending on just about everything. To oppose all of that is "nihilism."
Then count me as a nihilist – or maybe I just believe in liberty.

I used to work at home for a stamping company and it's really so fun to do and such a great gift. I know you'll enjoy those!
Girl, you know this southern belle ADORES magnolias and all that they encompass..their beauty, fragrance..
So happy for your sweet surprises!

Growing up in Oklahoma we had a big field with some wild blackberry bushes that we would raid as soon as they were ripe...they were oh so good. You could possibly go online to check out what kind of a berry it is by its foliage.

I knew someone who had her bridesmaids wear live magnolias on chokers for her wedding. They looked gorgeous, but not one of those girls could take the fragrance ever again after that day! :)
Raspberry bushes can grow wild, but so do mulberries. We've got a wild mulberry bush/tree in our backyard. Unfortunately, the groundhogs, squirrels and bird get to them before the turn ripe enough for us.
Oh, and the cards! Beautiful. I recognize those as Stampin' Up! I was an SU! demonstrator for 8 years. Just quit this year, actually. It's so fun. I wish I still had the time to do it!

Beautiful cards. Very nice to get real mail.
Blackberries and raspberries and logan berries grow here and at least the raspberries are about due around here, so it would make sense to me that you might have them, too. But don't go eating them until you do a quick Google. :) Don't want any Snow White situations.
My mom wore a magnolia as her corsage for my wedding.
Go git your laundry done so you can play.
And may I say, one of my favorite passages in this post: "but when I walked into my kitchen, filled with dishes and a crazy mess". Thank you.

We've got dewberries growing wild all over the place here. They're kind of a cross between a blackberry and raspberry. I made a cobbler with them.

I've been on the receiving end of Allison's sweetness too. Isn't she great?
And Kellie I'm so jealous of your exposure to the magnolias. I love them. Even wrote about them in my book. LOVE them.

I'm a mail lover too. I had all the bills over to Jon and grab the good stuff and run:) Those cards are BEAUTIFUL!!! So is your magnolia. What a sweet, thoughtful gift. . . those are the best kind!!

My husband cut a bunch of magnolias for me from his parents' house the other day. My kitchen smelled so good! ( a nice change! haha) I'd bring kids, a bucket, and a camera over by the berries. Then snap some pics of stained, messy faces! :)

Thought I'd come over and say hi, too. LOVE the blog design! And LOVE the handmade cards. I used to be big in to stamping and paper crafts. Before kids! Isn't real mail fun!

I love new stationery -- I've always had a bit of a paper obsession. :)
Can you believe I've lived in Georgia for nearly 10 years and have never "knowingly" smelled a magnolia? I need to find one and watch it bloom in my kitchen too!
- June 21, 2009 7:49 AM
- Jackie said...
Real mail rocks - especially when you get something as gorgeous as this!
I don't know that I have ever seen a magnolia. But I bet they just smell incredible. Another reason why I need to visit NC!

Oh how beautiful! Hubby wants to plant a Magnolia tree in our yard and we don't have a spot. I guess if we ever buy a new house maybe we could!
Love those note cards - very talented indeed!

The Swift is a shoulder bag specifically for knitters and crafty types, designed by Tom in collaboration with the readers of Knitty® magazine. The Swift's tote-bag design allows its contents to be easily found: you'll never have to waste time searching inside deep caverns for small, lost items.
The Swift Story:
In 2005, we held a contest with Knitty® magazine and asked their readers to tell us everything they would like to see in the ultimate knitting bag — from colors, materials, and style of bag to functionality, accessories, and size. We received a flood of entries and suggestions. Tom made a few prototypes and sent them off to the editors of Knitty® for review; they responded with their ideas and thoughts. And, when the final design was ready for debut, the editors of Knitty® held a naming party. Many great names were suggested, but the winning entry was chosen because it has significance to knitters but doesn't designate the bag as solely for knitting: it's a great bag for all kinds of crafts, and many folks will find its clear pockets and stuff sack useful features in an everyday bag. Special thanks go to Amy and all the editors and readers of Knitty® magazine: we (really) couldn't have done it without you.
The Swift is available in multiple colors and fabrics, although the features, layout, and size remain the same in all versions.
Inside the Swift are two clear urethane pockets backed with our Japanese Halcyon/nylon ripstop fabric. The pockets mirror each other, and they close with strong #8 YKK zippers. Above one of these pockets you'll find an
The included Medium Yarn Stuff Sack is made of the same Halcyon/nylon ripstop fabric that backs the clear urethane pockets of the Swift. This Yarn Stuff Sack can accommodate a large ball of yarn. It has a drawstring top, and it includes a feature knitters will immediately notice as indispensable: a triangular clip open/close grommet to feed yarn through. The clear urethane bottom allows you to quickly see what the Yarn Stuff Sack contains.
Additional Yarn Stuff Sacks, available in a wide variety of sizes and colors, are available for purchase here.
The remaining interior of the Swift is devoted to space: lots of it. For custom organization, add Clear Organizer Pouches or Clear Quarter Packing Cubes. A button closure secures the top of the bag, which, unlike a zipper, won't fray yarn or projects. The handles are the ideal length for carrying in hand or on the shoulder, with the highest quality PORON® foam padding them.

Choosing an Exterior Fabric
You like choices and we like to give you choices! That's why the Swift is typically available* in two different exterior fabrics. Our Materials Glossary explains each fabric in great detail, but here are some quick facts that may help you decide which to choose. And we're always here if you have questions: firstname.lastname@example.com
400d Halcyon
525d High Tenacity Ballistic Nylon
*There may be times when one of the exterior fabrics mentioned here isn't available. Even with our best efforts, the demand for our bags occasionally outpaces our production capabilities: at times, some products, color combinations, or fabrics might be temporarily unavailable or "In Production." See the In Production color combinations as a guide to what our factory crew is making and what will be available next.
your bag already has great built-in organization. that said, you may want to add these optional organizational accessories to further organize and protect what you carry.
Clear Organizer Pouch
Clear Organizer Pouches add an extra pocket of organization to the Swift. Using a small-but-tough plastic snaphook, the Clear Organizer Pouches attach to any of the O-rings inside of the Swift. (The Pen/Pencil size is great for some knitting needles!)
Freudian Slip
Adds five additional pockets of organization to the Swift — three zippered pockets on one side and two large open top pockets on the other.
Knitting Tool Pouches
Knitting Tool Pouches can be used on their own, or together as a system. They offer a new style of tool organization allowing for modular and expandable containment of as many or as few tools as you might use. Each pouch features an O-ring on its corner, allowing you to connect the Knitting Tool Pouches to the included Wasabi Double Carabiner (one Double Carabiner is included per order of Knitting Tool Pouches; if you order one Knitting Tool Pouch, you'll receive one Double Carabiner. If you order three Knitting Tool Pouches, you'll receive one Double Carabiner.
Yarn Stuff Sack
One Yarn Stuff Sack, Medium, Clear Bottom is included with the Swift, though we figured you might want to order an extra (or two) depending on how many projects you have going on. Inside the Yarn Stuff Sack is an openable triangular yarn guide designed to allow knitters to feed yarn through. On the exterior is a snaphook that allows you to clip the Yarn Stuff Sack to the O-rings inside most other TOM BIHN bags, including the Swift.
You can expect your TOM BIHN bag to give you years of hard service. Our bags are guaranteed to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the bag. That means if something goes wrong and it's our fault, we'll fix it at no charge.
Defects in materials or workmanship are uncommon and are most often evident while your bag is still new. Keep in mind that daypacks and briefcases are often subject to serious wear in everyday use. We often see TOM BIHN bags that are still solid and in use after five, ten, fifteen, even twenty or twenty-five years, with minor repairs needed here or there. But remember: only true love lasts forever.

Mike Timlin went on the 15-day disabled list Thursday afternoon with right shoulder tendinitis. Devern Hansack was called up from Pawtucket.
Timlin: "It has been there for a while. I could try to loosen it up, but we figured it's not a good time for that."
Wily Mo Pena: "After Manny hit his first homer to left [in the fourth] he told me before his second one, 'I'm going to hit one out to right now.' And he did it. Man, he's unbelievable."
Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal checks in with Manny Delcarmen. In 13 innings for Pawtucket, Delcarmen has allowed 18 hits and 11 earned runs (7.43 ERA), while striking out 20. In his last five outings, he's given up nine runs on 13 hits.

Spring time is approaching and many Metro Denver home owners are planning to sell in 2014.
Selling a home takes planning and preparation as you don't live in a home the same way you sell it. Any seller who has tried to do so will probably tell you the best thing to do is spend time making the home look fabulous BEFORE you put it on the market.
As an agent, I know for fact the more time a home owner spends sprucing up the home the less time it spends on the market. This fact translates into a huge convenience factor, as few home owners appreciate having to vacate their home every time it gets shown.
Showing Availability
When an agent wants to come by with clients to see your home, don't play "let's make a deal" with the showing time. Your house is on the market for sale. The agent and their clients typically have a list of homes to see and if you make it inconvenient for them to see your home during that time allotment, chances are they won't even look at it!
Repairs are part of Home Maintenance
Repairs of safety and health issues are repairs you need to make immediately. Leaky faucets, dirty chimneys, locks that don't work with ease are all things you are going to need to fix. Why not have your home pre-inspected by a professional? By doing this you place your home above all the competition, making it even more attractive to a buyer. Having a home in good repair reflects very well on you and gives the buyer the confidence he's not buying a "problem money pit."
Over Priced
Pricing is so sensitive these days. Making the mistake of pricing you home out of the market is not advised. The longer your home stays on the market the more "shop worn" it will get. Your agent will need to respond to inquiries like, "why has it been on the market so long?" Buyers think there must be something wrong with it when it doesn't sell in a normal amount of time. The longer it stays on the market the more likely an even bigger price reduction will be needed. Price it within the market or slightly, and I do mean slightly higher and you will sell quicker and for more money!
Unwilling to Negotiate
Negotiation is not always about price. Often a good negotiation is when both parties get what they want. That may be a lesser price or it could be a bigger convenience. No two negotiations are the same so keep an open mind when negotiations start, have a Plan B and C incase Plan A doesn't work out.
Unpleasant Odors
Simply put, "if you can smell it, you can't sell it." If your house can't pass the smell test you need to do something quickly. Smoke? Stop. Carpet dirty? Have it professionally cleaned. Pet odors? Not everyone enjoys the smell of a wet dog, Keep Fido or Puffy elsewhere for awhile. There are companies that specialize in removing odors. Hiring one might be the best decision for your sale.
Successful Sale
A successful home sale begins long before the home goes on the market. I begin with a consultation and then I bring in the stager. She helps my home owners see their homes through the eyes of the potential buyer. Her staging advice and my marketing strategy help educate the home owner and set them up for having a good experience during the sale of their home.
