Neon fiber art batt, nuno needle felting, spinning fiber "Neon Rainbow" fuchsia Pink gold orange violet aqua yellow green hi lighter colors
This is one very fun -- and luxurious -- art batt for your spinning, felting pleasure.
"Neon Rainbow" is a lusciously textured batt, designed to bring an exuberant color and texture lift to the simplest of fiber designs. Whether you knit, crochet or felt, it's time to start a new project! This is true whether you are creating gifts, presents, or working for the sheer joy of it all.
The tech specs:
— 1 ounce, 28 grams
— mohair locks
— corriedale cross
— angelina
— Merino
— Firestar
— Bamboo
-- carded once, maybe twice, to retain the texture and color(s).
-- hand dyed and commercially dyed fibers
-- fuchsia
-- pink
-- "Barbie" Pink
-- gold
-- light orange
-- violet
We store and ship our yarn with lavender and cedar. Please let us know if your allergies are an issue. :)
FYI: We're cat and dog friendly people, but we have a brick and mortar store/studio where our fibers are stored and prepped.
We have made the commitment to use more local fibers from small farms and ranches. Despite our best efforts our batts may contain a small amount of vegetable matter. This should fall out as the fiber is worked.
We do our very best to represent our colors and textures, photographing them in a lightbox, in sunlight, with/without flash... Having said that, we hope that you'll understand that there are so many variables that will affect what you see (including monitors, climate and individual perception) and that some differences occur.
All batted fiber comes in a bio-degradable, plastic sleeve to keep it happy and pretty :) We also ship your fiber with an herbal sachet. If you would prefer that we not, please let us know :)
We're cat and dog friendly people, but we have a brick and mortar store/studio where our fibers are stored and prepped, all in closed plastic bins with lavender, rose and/or cedar. Please let us know if we need to air out your fiber before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wholesale availability
We have a handful of wholesale accounts, but at this time, we are not looking for more. We thank you for your interest :)
Custom and personalized orders
The ability to customize, personalize orders is the number one reason we work mostly on a "made to order" basis. We want you to have everything just as you need/want it! We understand that this makes our shipping times slower, but we hope you will agree that we are worth the wait :)
Does your roving come in one, continuous piece?
Not always. Let us know if this is important, and we will make it happen.
Why is the shipping so high? Can you fix it?
It's a long, convoluted answer having to do with the fact that we offer variations of weight in our batts and other items. We pay the extra shipping on larger batts, but we have no way of setting the shipping lower on the sample sizes, so we have to meet somewhere in the middle --which is often WAY too much if you are ordering a quantity of sample batts.
And yes. We can fix it, just message us. Or.. check out and leave us a note reminding us to refund your excess shipping. Either way, we understand. We hate overpaying for shipping too :D
You forgot my felting needles. Will you send them?
If we forgot them, of course we will :D
But first... take a peek on the side of the foam. 99.99% of the time, they are there, just overlooked.
Why does it take 10-14 days to mail a batt?
We dye a very large proportion (60-75%!!) of our wool, Firestar and Silk. We're really proud of the number of colors we offer-- and we only have plans to do more. We do this because it the work we love to do, it's one of many things that we think make our work worthwhile, special. Additionally, we do not want our batts sitting in inventory, compacting from lack of use. And then... what if you want to customize the batt? We do that too :D
We make our batts to order because we make them for you— and we make a LOT of them, so there is usually a line when you order as well. We think they are worth the wait and hope that you will too. Naturally, if you need something faster, let us know. We work magic, that's what we do :D

BrewView: Sandude Opens Brand New Tap Room
Sandude Opens Brand New Tap Room
By Christopher Mitchell and Brandilyn Brown
Downtown Modesto is growing and getting back its glamor. One of store fronts 11th Street can boast about now is Sandude's first tap room. Yes, first. There are more coming, but Modesto is proud to be the city that John & Janette Freitas have chosen to launch in. Not only are Modestans thirsty for good brew, the city worked with them to get them here. It only three weeks from plan to permit, and they were off building cabinets & painting. The bars have purse holders, laptop & phone charging stations, so you can stay connected to everything while you're here. The beachy, rustic taproom is decorated with nods of family history, such as the retired license plates on the bathrooms "SANDUDE" and "SANDGRL".
With 17 beers on tap (12 to be Sandude, 5 to be rotated spotlighting other breweries), there will be something for everyone. The Woody Brown Ale was our favorite. Get a flight to try several and pick your favorite.
Once you have found your favorite beer, then you can really enjoy this place. Don't let the fact they are not a restaurant put you off: You can bring in whatever you want to eat. Want to order pizza? Do it. Want to bring in a picnic lunch for a romantic date? Do it. Why? "We want our guests to enjoy their favorite food, while enjoying their favorite beer." Said Janette. Now that is tagline to celebrate.
MV: How did you get your name?
John: We used to ride three wheelers and quads on Pismo Beach, and one day I'm just standing on this hill of sand, and a friend said, "Hey Sand ude!" and it stuck.
MV: How did you get started?
John: A friend gave me a mutual friend's craft beer to taste, and I really enjoyed it. So I went over and we brewed together once. That is all it took, that one time, and I wanted to brew commercially from then on. I jumped right in! I do all the brewing myself, and I've got some recipes in the works that we will feature seasonally, like a jalapeño and a mango.
MV: Go big or go home, right? Those sound delicious and we are looking forward to them!
Sandude will be hosting live music, comedy and other entertainment so keep up on their facebook page for event info as they schedule. Sip on, friends!
Sandude, 1028 11th Street Modesto, CA
Sundays-Thursdays 11am-10pm & Fridays & Saturdays 11am – 12am

Google's never out of the news these days.
Search for 'Alphabet' (Google's parent company) on Google News (how impartial!) and you'll find wave after wave of good-luck stories about what the company's up to and how it's creative projects are benefitting humanity.
For instance, last week there were articles about how Alphabet's AlphaGo is a giant leap forward for artificial intelligence after it beat one of the world's best players of the game Go. It's also shipped over 5 million Google cardboard Virtual Reality devices, its Nest project is gaining momentum, and that Alphabet is apparently set to surpass Apple as the world's most valuable company.
It's not all good news, though. Google's driverless cars have apparently hit a snag and came close to a number of near-miss accidents during testing while U.S. Marines have slammed Boston Dynamics' robots (Google bought Boston Dynamics in 2014) as being too loud and impractical to use.
Most devastating to Google were very loud and public grumblings over the amount of tax it pays last week which never fails to paint any company as anything other than a villain.
On a practical level, too, Google is irritating people. We talked about its massive core search updates last month, and only last week its advice on how to perform search optimisation properly – which has always typically been set in stone – got new wording, setting it in an entirely new stone.
You can't argue with results, though, and overall things are better for Google than, say, Apple, with analysts predicting bad times for the iPhone creator.
Taking stock
So why are we banging on about Google in a Facebook article? Because despite Google's impressive performance Facebook appears to be matching it blow-for-blow and, in our opinion, is well positioned to deal Google a big bloody nose over 2016.
On Thursday Facebook's shares closed 16 per cent higher which represented its second best day since it became a public company, smashing even the most optimistic estimates. That came about after its impressive fourth quarter results for 2015 were published with the company amassing $5.84 billion in revenue at the time.
Mark Zuckerberg said it shows that Facebook is "thriving" with user numbers continuing to grow on the social network. Most of its revenue came from mobile advertising with revenue up 57 per cent from Q4 2014. Its impressive figures can also be attributed to finally monetising its ads on Instagram.
Even Twitter and LinkedIn have something to thank Facebook for, with their shares also jumping off the back of Facebook's enormous leaps, giving investors a serious feel-good feeling on the power of social media.
Clearly Facebook's leading the way for investors and advertisers. But those figures can be interpreted another way; that users are happy to stick with the site and still find it relevant, a rumour that's always dogged it with some suggesting the teen market regards Facebook as 'dead and buried'.
Facebook must be doing something right though, and we feel that with such a rapid rate of growth (that shows no signs at all of slowing down) it can really take on Google and set the foundations to possibly surpass it sooner rather than later.
Because Facebook knows how to change for the better, unlike Twitter. And the mark of a real competitor? Taking the competition on at its own game.
Your Turn: Where do you prefer your budget to go, into search or social media? And, if you invest in both, which platform gives you the best results out of Facebook or Google? Let me know below!
Face time
Facebook isn't shy about taking on Google. One obvious example is how aggressive it's being at targeting YouTube, and trying to take eyes away from Google's video service and have Facebook as the go-to video viewing platform of choice.
Zuckerberg recently pointed out that more than 100 million hours of video is watched on Facebook every day which is an astonishing number. Cheekily Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg highlighted how competitor Microsoft relied on Facebook and Instagram video ads to drive interest in Halo 5.
"They understood that people watch video differently in mobile news feed than on TV, so they created videos to capture audience attention in the first three seconds even without sound," she explained.
That brands are planning for things like three-second silences in their videos shows how important they consider their video strategy on Facebook to be. And Facebook doesn't see itself as a social network anymore with Facebook's Chris Cox saying it's more of a "medium" now.
"The medium is the message," he says, and he's right. Creative content can perform exceptionally well on Facebook if produced and targeted correctly. And Facebook's stellar targeting options make it an essential option for brands looking to boost their growth. Did you know you can go as far as targeting live events, for instance?
And as time passes the suggestion won't go away that Facebook will eventually enter the world of search with additions such as being able to search for reactions to trends and join conversations proving that it's an area they're certainly exploring at the very least.
And with Oculus Rift only a month or two away that'll add another trailblazing advertising option to Facebook's bow. Pioneering virtual reality can be seen as something as a risk, but the potential for what it could achieve for users and advertisers is well worth the outlay.
Whether Facebook will finally overtake Google remains to be seen. But the more creative it gets with its platform and the more it provides users and advertisers with incredible social value, the more chance it has to not only overpower Google, but the rest of the competition too.
If you want to find out more about the inner workings of Facebook and how creative social media techniques can boost your inbound marketing campaigns speak to a Webpresence representative now.

*On Wednesday, Hollywood locals may have taken a double take when they say CNN talk show host, Larry King, taking a stroll with rapper Snoop Dogg in the Long Beach native's bright yellow '67 Pontiac Parisienne.
The pair was filming for Snoop Dogg's segment and interview on 'Larry King Live,' which airs tonight, Friday (March 26).
King appeared to be having a good time. He posted two photos of the event on Twitter with the caption, "Me Driving around with @SnoopDogg."
The rapper last met with the 76-year-old King back in 2008 to talk about politics.
During the election, Snoop distanced himself from both Democratic and Republican parties in favor of the independent neutrality of "the Gangsta Party."
However, Snoop did admit he felt a tie to Obama. "I am a black man, and I know that he relates to everything that I am going through… I just want to see somebody win that is in the best interest of America… Obama has got the right conversation going. He is in line with the right scenario too.

I know that my email in-box fills up pretty quickly and so do the in-boxes of my clients. Having strategies to manage your email ensures that you can get things done!
Today I'll cover some tips you can use to keep your in-box under control.
Take Control!
Do your other work first. Try not to open your email first thing in the morning! (I know — easier said than done…) Complete your other important tasks before opening that in-box.
Incorporate Into Your To Do List. As you review your emails, update your to-do list with the action items you have as a result!
When You are the Sender – Use Templates and Stationary. If you frequently send the same type of email, save a copy as a draft or template that you can reuse over and over (changing the specifics such a name, date and amount for each email.) Many email programs have the ability to save pre-formatted stationary you can recall over and over. Let us know if you need help knowing how to do that.
Slow the Electronic Conversation. If the matter you are replying to is not urgent, reply right away (procrastination is never good), but schedule it to go out a few days later.
Turn off the "You've got mail" Bell/Notification. Constant interruptions with the email notification sound make it difficult for anyone to complete other tasks.
What do you do?
What do you do to manage your email? Share your tips! I know my readers would be interested in hearing what you do so that they can try it too!
To your success!

Moving on, Cosmo came home yesterday. I admit, seeing him without his leg was shocking even though I was prepared for it. He was much perkier than I thought he would be, and the vet apparently commented on it to my husband that he actually does seem happier. His leg must have really been hurting him more than we even thought. I'm hoping once he's all healed up he'll be back to his old self!
|Cosmo, just happy to be home and snacking already!
The good news is that I'm feeling like the fires are back to building up and I'm ready to go! I want to knock out this fairy/peacock commission, get this new abstract finished (and there is another one half completed that I'd like to get done) and then I plan on diving back into my Alice series, I think with perhaps a much bigger piece (24x36?) This means I need to hit my sketchbook because I simply haven't settled on what I want my Cheshire Cat and Caterpillar to look like yet, but I have a good idea about my Queen of Hearts and other characters. I think it's time for a large composition featuring a lot of elements (but I don't want it to get too busy either...)
So, lots percolating, even if nothing is getting done in the physical realm. It'll come!
My husband is still home, so I haven't accomplished anything in the studio. I'm hoping I will but I wonder if it's going to take until Monday. I should be able to sketch out my commission piece without much of a problem, but for some reason disappearing off into my studio to paint is near impossible with other people in the house! (But he's cute, so it's OK *wink*)

Montgomery and Bucks County Bankruptcy Attorney
Have you ever considered filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy? No matter how great the debts are, no matter how financially desperate you are, it is never an easy decision to file for bankruptcy. However, the amount of stress you may be experiencing may be significantly alleviated by filing for bankruptcy. Let us help relieve you of the stress you are experiencing.
If you have been suffering from inability to pay off debts, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the legal solution for you. Here are some of the reasons why one choose to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy,
• Currently unemployed
• Drop in household income
• Unable to resolve financial problems with creditors
• Significant and unmanageable debts
• Death in family
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is more commonly known as reorganization bankruptcy. With this type of bankruptcy, unlike chapter 7, you don't get your debts completely wiped out. You don't get a clean slate. However, the silver lining is that you get to keep all of your non-exempt properties. So you won't have to worry about losing the home that holds all of you and your family's memories. You will not risk your home being foreclosed leaving you and your family without a home to keep you safe.
Here are top three ways how chapter 13 could be more advantageous for you:
• Ability to dismiss the case or change to chapter 7
• House can be saved from foreclosure
• Prolong payment plan that is financially sound to you
We have 19 years of experience in helping various individuals file chapter Chapter 7 or 13, so you won't have to worry about being let down by our commitment to our work. Bankruptcy can help put an end to creditor harassment. To schedule a free consultation with our aggressive attorney, Michelle A. Winter, contact us online or call our office at 215-822-5266. For your convenience, evening appointments are available.

DANVILLE — Geisinger President and CEO Dr. David Feinberg rolled up his sleeve Tuesday and offered the first blood sample for the first-of-its-kind clinical DNA sequencing program in the country.
Feinberg first announced the program in May at the HLTH: The Future of Healthcare conference in Las Vegas and he said Geisinger is the nation's first healthcare system to include DNA screening as part of a patient's routine health exam.
Under the program, patients are screened to see if they have any variations of genes linked to certain cancers or cardiovascular disease. The information will help doctors better treat or prevent diseases in patients, he said.
"It feels like the future is here," Feinberg said after becoming the first patient in the program at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.
Feinberg said the screening was a gift to his family. It will allow him to say to his family if they are or aren't at risk for something. If they are at risk, he said they can do something about it to make it better. He expects results in two to four weeks.
Until now, the DNA screening was being done only through Geisinger's research program called the MyCode Community Health Initiative. More than 200,000 participants have helped build a bank of DNA samples to study the relationship between genes and disease.
"What we've seen here at Geisinger through our MyCode study already is being literally able to save hundreds of people's lives," Feinberg said.
Now, the testing will be part of a patient's routine medical exam and results will be included in the patient's medical records.
The program launches with Geisinger employees covered by Geisinger Health Plan as the first 1,000 patients enrolled.

JUST US BRICKS 1901 Industrial Shop Building Chimney Bricks in 2014 There's an art to making bricks just like there is an art to leadership and making relationships work. Our relationships are either built up or torn down with our words. It is only when we are connected to each other and have full access to the resources that we need that our highest value can be realized. Like people, each brick has nuances. Our perspectives make us unique. Two people can look at the same object and see something completely different. ROAR! "LEADERS SPEND TIME TRYING TO GET OTHERS TO THINK HIGHLY OF THEM, WHEN INSTEAD THEY SHOULD TRY TO GET THEIR PEOPLE TO THINK MORE HIGHLY OF THEMSELVES. IT'S WONDERFUL WHEN THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THEIR LEADER. IT' S MORE WONDERFUL WHEN THE LEADER BELIEVES IN THEIR PEOPLE! YOU CAN'T HOLD A MAN DOWN WITHOUT STAYING DOWN WITH HIM." 38 BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Although there are single images, facts, and events, there are always at least two sides to every story.

ROAR! "THE FACT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL HAS BEHIND AND SURROUNDING HIM PROUD FAMILY HISTORY AND CONNECTION SERVES AS A STIMULUS TO HELP OVERCOME OBSTACLES WHEN STRIVING FOR SUCCESS." 40 BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Just us bricks. We're all that's left. Someone took the time to shape us. Someone built us into something meaningful. We contained the fire, provided warmth and helped to create a wealth of resources for Our Community. Look at us now. We're disconnected, we're sitting here waiting for something to happen. People are often just the same. Anyway, I'm just a brick, what do I know? Without strong leadership, without communication, without other raw materials, it's just us bricks. Let's rebuild something meaningful on the hallowed ground on which we sit. Please, let's do more than be just us bricks.

Or should I say, his affair, violent actions, arrest etc. don't matter
Here's why. This country was raised on Gerry Springer, Geraldo Rivera, Oprah Winfrey (in her early days) and many other other scumbags who showed us the seediest side of the lowest forms of life in this country. At first we were shocked and scandalized (although some were secretly titillated) by the escapades of these reprobates.
After a few decades of shock though, most of us are immune to it.
Someone could find a sex tape of The Donald having sex with fifty hookers at a time and the "holiest" evangelical would still support his presidency.
Matthew Heimbach's fall from grace is barely a blip on the screen. We have a government "peopled" by pedophiles for gosh sake!
We are a leaderless resistance and it is in our blood to resist the tyranny of the rat-faced kikes. Forget the wannabe leaders with their feet of clay.
The 14 words are all that matter.

Working the waiver wire is pivotal to succeeding in fantasy basketball. With so many games, injuries and endless shifts in rotations throughout the season, we'll need to source stats from free agency to maximize our imaginary rosters.
A willingness to entertain competition for the last spot or two on your fantasy hoops roster can prove rewarding. It can help to consider your end-of-bench players in direct competition with the talent floating in free agency.
In this weekly series, we identify players available in at least half of ESPN leagues at each position. Some nominations are purely specialists capable of helping in one or two categories, while others deliver more diverse and important statistical offerings. Either way, we believe the names below -- ordered by rostered rate at each position -- can contribute positively to fantasy rosters.
With the NBA trade deadline looming later this week, I make sure to mention several influential scenarios at each position. It's worth proactively speculating in some situations, such as with the LA Clippers' frontcourt.
Point guard
De'Aaron Fox, Sacramento Kings (rostered in 43.6 percent of ESPN leagues): An already impressive role could become truly special if the Kings deal George Hill to a contender. If he had the full show to himself, Fox could become a difference maker in steals and dimes. Among the widely available crop, Bogdan Bogdanovic would also see a spike in opportunity rates sans Hill from the rotation.
Terry Rozier, Boston Celtics (33.6 percent): With Marcus Smart ailing, we endorsed Rozier as a key acquisition last week when he was rostered in only 12.2 percent of leagues. Rozier has delivered a triple-double and a 31-point opus in recent outings, and could continue to enjoy rewarding usage as a key combo guard for Boston in the weeks ahead.
Ish Smith, Detroit Pistons (28.4 percent): Maybe it's pure coincidence, but I find it interesting that Smith is thriving with Blake Griffin in the fold. He's shooting 72.7 percent from the floor with 18.5 PPG, 5.5 APG and 4.5 RPG during the past two games. Even before Griffin's arrival, Smith has been driving his way to healthy scoring totals for about three weeks now.
Shooting guard
Austin Rivers, LA Clippers (15.1 percent): If you need assists and steady 3-point production, Milos Teodosic is a fine target. If you want to target a player who could explode in regards to usage and raw scoring volume if Lou Williams is dealt, then look to Rivers. During a 28-game stretch before getting injured, Rivers averaged 14.3 shots and 17.1 points per game with Williams in the lineup, so this is likely his floor.
Malik Monk, Charlotte Hornets (1.2 percent): In the five games Monk has played at least 23 minutes this season, he's averaged 17.2 PPG with solid shooting results. If Kemba Walker is dealt, Monk could become a productive offensive microwave down the stretch.
Power forward
Danilo Gallinari, LA Clippers (46.2 percent): This trade-centric edition of the waiver column is appropriately Clippers-centric. I want shares of Gallinari, even if Williams and DeAndre Jordan aren't traded, but he could become an absolute usage hog if both are deal in the coming days. For some context, Gallinari enjoys the highest surge in usage and DraftKings production on the roster when Williams is off the floor. Some shares of Wes Johnson are also intriguing for those in deeper leagues.
Kyle Anderson, San Antonio Spurs (21.3 percent): Even though he's averaging only 7.7 points over his past nine games, Anderson has the highest rating on Player Rater over the past 15 days among players available in at least half of ESPN leagues. A versatile floor game reveals a strong fantasy profile worthy of our attention.
Power forward
Bobby Portis, Chicago Bulls (28.4 percent): With Nikola Mirotic jettisoned to New Orleans, Portis has been a beast on the glass and should enjoy steady opportunity rates for the remainder of the season.
Larry Nance Jr., Los Angeles Lakers (25.4 percent): However unlikely, if the Lakers deal Julius Randle or buy Brook Lopez out, it could result in a rewarding role for Nance.
John Collins, Atlanta Hawks (46.3 percent): With Ersan Ilyasova off the court this season, Collins enjoys a marked jump in usage and rebounding rate. It's quite possible the veteran stretch forward is dealt, leaving Collins set for a strong finish.
Montrezl Harrell, LA Clippers (8.4 percent): A DFS darling thanks to his ability to thrive when tabbed for heavy minutes, Harrell is an awesome speculative investment ahead of the deadline given the buzz around Jordan being be dealt.

|Princess Gouramma, 1852.
Princess Gouramma (4 July 1841, Benares - 30 March 1864, London) was the daughter of Chikka Virarajendra, the ruler of Coorg. The Raja was deposed by the British in 1834 and taken political prisoner. In 1852, stating that he wished his daughter to be raised a Christian and to receive a Western education, the ex-Raja was permitted to travel to England; while there, he would also go to court to demand that the East India Government restore his wealth. Arriving in England, the Raja was received by Queen Victoria with the respect due his royal status, and he put his daughter into her care. That same year, the Princess was baptised in a ceremony conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Chapel at Buckingham Palace and took the name "Victoria", with Queen Victoria as her Sponsor (godmother). She was later considered a possible bride for the Maharaja Duleep Singh [see below], but he declined to marry her. In 1860 she wed Colonel John Campbell - thirty-one years her senior - with whom she had a daughter - Edith Victoria Gouramma Campbell - born the following year. The Princess died of tuberculosis three years later - she was only twenty-two - and was buried at Brompton cemetery.
|In Winterhalter's portrait, the Princess is holding a bible, an allusion to her conversion to Christianity.
|Three photographs by Roger Fenton 1854.
|The Maharaja Duleep Singh, 1854.
Maharaja Duleep Singh (also known as Dalip Singh; 6 September 1838, Lahore - 22 October 1893, Paris), the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. He was Maharaja Ranjit Singh's youngest son, the only child of Maharani Jind Kaur. After the assassinations of four of his predecessors, he came to power in 1843, at the age of five. For a while, his mother ruled as Regent, but three years later, after the First Anglo-Sikh War, she was replaced by a British Council of Regency and imprisoned; mother and son were not allowed to meet again for thirteen and a half years. In 1849 the ten-year-old child was deposed and put into the care of a British governor who undertook a program of Anglicization; in 1853 he was converted to Christianity. (Something he later rebelled against, reconverting to his native Sikhism in 1886.) The following year, at the age of fifteen, he was exiled to Britain where he was befriended and much admired by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He quickly became a close personal friend of the Royal Family, visiting them at Osborne and attending court functions. He was granted an annual pension and lived lavishly in a series of leased estates in England and Scotland. In 1863 he purchased the Elveden estate in Suffolk, which he energetically restored, transforming it into an efficient game preserve, and it was here that he gained his reputation as the "fourth best shot in England". He married twice and had a total of eight children from his two marriages. Increasingly upset by the circumstances of his exile and his lack of personal freedom, though, he became involved in several intrigues to leave Britain and regain his throne. Continually thwarted by the British government, he was arrested in Yemen in 1886, during an attempt to return to India; it was there that he reclaimed his Sikh faith. He died in Paris seven years later, at the age of fifty-five. His wish that his body be returned to India was not honored, and his remains were brought back to Elveden Church, where he was given a Christian burial.

Adapted from the Royal Collection website:
Queen Victoria was captivated by Duleep Singh when first introduced to him in 1854, the year in which he was brought to England, writing, "Those eyes and those teeth are too beautiful." And she recorded in her journal on 10 July 1854 that, "Winterhalter was in ecstasies at the beauty and nobility of bearing of the young Maharaja. He was very amiable and patient, standing so still and giving a sitting of upwards of 2 hrs." Winterhalter's male portraits are rarely as romantic or exotic as this image, which places the young Maharaja in an imaginary landscape in Indian dress. He is shown wearing his diamond aigrette and star in his turban and a jewel-framed miniature of Queen Victoria by Emily Eden. During one of the sittings he was shown the Koh-i-Noor diamond that he had surrendered in 1849. Queen Victoria recorded how she had given him the newly recut jewel to inspect and that he then handed it back to her, saying how much pleasure it gave him to be able to make the gift in person. (Remarkably tactless, the Queen, as the famous diamond had been in every sense stolen by the invading British as a spoil of war, an action controversial even at the time. Now included among the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom, the governments of India, Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan have all claimed ownership of the Koh-i-Noor and demanded its return at various times in recent decades.)

The collapse of the eastern grid disrupted normal life in Bihar, which witnessed power failure and delay in train services today.
Bihar State Electricity Board (BSEB) sources said distribution of electricity was disrupted in the state from 1:02 PM.
All the functional units of NTPC at Kahalgaon stopped generation from 1 PM because of technical problems in the grids, official sources said.
BSEB Chairman P K Rai and other senior officials were conducting meetings to ensure early restoration of electricity. "We are in constant touch with Eastern Region Load Despatch centre," they said.
Patna went totally without power and work was paralysed at the secretariat for several hours due to the grid failure. Officials worked using lamps and emergency set ups.
Several trains, including New Delhi-Patna Magadh Express, Rajgir-New Delhi Shramajeevi Express and passenger trains were stranded at various places.
East Central Railway (ECR) Chief Public Relations Officer Amitabh Prabhakar told PTI that more than 30 trains, including 18 mail and express and over 48 goods trains were stranded at various places since 1 PM.
"We are making alternative arrangements by mobilising diesel engines so that trains reach places where passengers can buy food items," Prabhakar said.
ECR officials are in constant touch with BSEB for restoration of power, he added.

I have taken a lot of online classes this year and as I have thought of the year these are my top 10 favorites. If you ever get a chance to take anyone of these classes I would recommend them fully! I wish I could say I have finished everyone BUT some have lifetime access so, I can work at my own pace which is wonderful. My goal for 2013 is to make sure I finish what I have started.
1. A Lovely Dream with Suzi Blu. I am no stranger to this beautiful lady. I started with Petite Dolls and have been in love ever since. This class was filled with videos once or twice a month for the whole year. I've also taken the Fairies class but have yet to get anything on canvas. Right now I have about 6 fairies that need to come out of my sketch book! If you have ever wanted to take one of Suzi's classes, Petite Dolls or Portraits do it now! This year is your last chance, they are being retired and won't be sold again. Jump in, you will have the videos forever once you download them. It is a good deal!
2. Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101.....seriously wonderful class!! Learned so much about Ranger products and how to use them. Left me feeling excited to use what I have learned.
3. Brave Girl Art School......this class is closed right now. I am sure they will offer it come 2013, just keep a look out!
4. Learn Something new everyday.......Shimelle is a wonderful teacher and artist. Classes are full of so much content you will be busting at the seams. Once you take her classes you have lifetime access and a few let you come back from year to year. This makes it so worth it even if money is tight for you, once you are in, you are in!
5. Cover to cover another Shimelle class. The perfect place to learn how to put an album together cover to cover.
6. The art of Wild Abandonment 1 and The art of Wild Abandonment, Bless this mess. I have found my heart, love for sketching and watercolors in this class. Junelle Jacobson draws you into believing in yourself again. A true blessing and you have a whole year to access!
7. Inspiration Showcase with Jennifer McGuire. A technique filled class you will soon not forget.
8. Okay well maybe I should have given Shimelle her very on blog post. What can I say I am stuck on her classes and Scrapbook Remix is just as wonderful as all the rest. My life is kinda crazy right now so I am just reading material and will start working on it soon.

Published on Sep 16, 2015 by TreeTV
In this simple short film, Oren Lyons speaks on the Doctrine of Discovery, a series of Roman Catholic papal bulls written between 1452 and 1492. He describes how the religious law doctrine has significantly influenced the still active social/environmental colonization of the planet, the dominant culture's destructive relationship with indigenous people world-wide, the basic foundation of the United States, the presumption of land rights as guided by this principle and specifically, the impact of this law on the peoples of Haudenosaunee Six Nations (Iroquois).
This film is a part of a series of 8 short films from Tree TV called 'Digital Wampum'. The Iroquois are embarking on this project describing the 500-year history of the Iroquois, their relationship with Europe and America, and their prophesies that, if heard, can help us navigate the oncoming changes due to climate change and cultural destruction. This series of short films is done via their testimony, and creates the space for the Iroquois to tell their story as they strive to uphold the traditions and the legacy of their people while also protecting the central tenets of their people and their relationship and care for the Earth.
This series was created by Tree Media in collaboration with Oren Lyons, Sid Hill and the Haudenosaunee. This series was created with the support of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and with the support of Executive Producer Oliver Stanton.

"Christian" Nation or Ticking Time Bomb?
Take a guess at how the typical church goer would respond to a survey question like this, "Is the USA a Christian nation?"
Lew Rockwell put together a wakeup call post titled, "Number One? 20 Not So Good Categories That the United States Leads the World In."
#1 The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world and the largest total prison population on the entire globe.
#2 According to NationMaster.com, the United States has the highest percentage of obese people in the world.
#3 The United States has the highest divorce rate on the globe by a wide margin.
#4 The United States is tied with the U.K. for the most hours of television watched per person each week.
#5 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire planet.
#6 There are more car thefts in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world by far.
#7 There are more reported rapes in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world.
#8 There are more reported murders in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world.
#9 There are more total crimes in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world.
#10 The United States also has more police officers than anywhere else in the world.
#11 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth.
#12 The United States has more people on pharmaceutical drugs than any other country on the planet.
#13 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.
#14 Americans have more student loan debt than anyone else in the world.
#15 More pornography is created in the United States than anywhere else on the entire globe. 89 percent is made in the U.S.A. and only 11 percent is made in the rest of the world.
#16 The United States has the largest trade deficit in the world every single year. Between December 2000 and December 2010, the United States ran a total trade deficit of 6.1 trillion dollars with the rest of the world, and the U.S. has had a negative trade balance every single year since 1976.
#17 The United States spends 7 times more on the military than any other nation on the planet does. In fact, U.S. military spending is greater than the military spending of China, Russia, Japan, India, and the rest of NATO combined.
#18 The United States has far more foreign military bases than any other country does.
#19 The United States has the most complicated tax system in the entire world.
#20 The U.S. has accumulated the biggest national debt that the world has ever seen and it is rapidly getting worse. Right now, U.S. government debt is expanding at a rate of $40,000 per second.
Then we assume things like the federal government is on our side.. while they actively are working against us by feeding border chaos. Check out the article by Mike Adams at: naturalnews.com
"The U.S. government just got caught red handed putting 30,000+ guns into the hands of Mexican drug gangs.
What does this have to do with health or freedom? Because once you see how the government really operates — to cause more problems so it can claim there's a "crisis" — then you have a better idea of how the FDA operates to enact new food safety restrictions (or how the CDC promotes infectious disease to push more vaccines).
It's a stunning (but true) realization: Our own government is actively plotting against peace, freedom and law & order in order to achieve its own nefarious aims of controlling more and more of the entire economy (and your private lives).
Read this absolutely mind-blowing story about so-called "Operation Fast & Furious" which is now openly admitted by the U.S. government"

This beautiful cat I found sitting in the middle of my busy street as a young kitten. As I was trying to rescue her, a gentleman in a p/u truck attempted to run her over with a big smile on his face. She came out from under his wheels unharmed. Now Tuna enjoys the safety of the outdoors inside her fenced in backyard.
In loving memory of Tweety Cat who passed
away at 11. She got her name because of the
bird noise she always made. Tweety was my
first orphaned newborn, only 2-3 days old.
Everything a momma cat does - I did!
In loving memory of Lucy who passed away
in April 2007 at 12. She just loved people and
changed many minds about Roteweilers.
Born with only half a left hip socket, Lucy blew her knee out playing soccer and had knee replacement surgery in 2000.
After successful rehab, she fully resumed her soccer career.
In loving memory of Angel.
I found this sweetest of creatures on my porch.
I think my mail carrier at the time delivered her.
Anyway, she was a special delivery.
I found Honey Hound abandoned in my neighborhood.
Sadly, she was a victim of serious abuse.
Part redbone hound, part English pointer, Honey had to be trained not to hunt down her new siblings.
Honey Hound is the official taste taster of my all natural,
Dawg-gone Good Biscuits.
Honey Hound's year long battle with liver cancer came to a close June 14, 2010. I miss her.
Short for Tasmanian Devil - this little
guy kept climbing into my backyard
until I kept him. I almost named him
Bowie because like David Bowie,
Taz has heterochromia.
In loving memory of Miss Kitty who passed
away in March at 18. She was my first pet
and I adopted her from the shelter. Miss
Kitty was the first of my cats I leash trained
to go on walks. Peope stopped and stared.
I always wanted twins!
These two brothers were orphaned
newborns, about 5 days old.
They are quite the comedy duo!
My first male of the pride, and now my
oldest pet at 15, Chester is a lover, not
a fighter.
In loving memory of Sam I Am who
passed away at 11 years of age.
Sam hitched a ride from a visitor and
stayed. He gave fantastic kitty shiatsu
massages on my aching back.
In loving memory of Precious who
passed away in February at 18 years old.
Precious was rescued from the shelter
after her prior owner surrendered her
when she was run over by a vehicle.
Her two favorite places - the microwave
and my lap.
My most recent furry friend rescue, Julia has been aptly named after Julia Sugarbaker and Julia Child. She posseses that unique souther charm combined with quick wit and an appetite for peculiar food.
I adopted Princess from Young-Williams Animal Center in July. She is an older girl who has found her new "furever" home.

With close to 15 years into his acting career, Lee Van Cleef was ready to quit and try another art form, that of painting. But, 'fate' would have it other-wise, it was at this very crucial turning point that this rugged and mean looking face, would be cast for a role in the second Dollars trilogy instalment, For a Few Dollars More. Only used to playing small roles in other westerns and a host of TV shows, he himself was bedazzled when he learnt that his character would actually be the co-star next to the poncho wearing Clint Eastwood.
This movie made Lee Van Cleef a superstar in Europe and virtually resurrected his career in the US, and aren't we glad that it did, because he also went on to co-star in the third and final instalment of the Dollars trilogy, in which he played The Bad. I must admit that I am happy that things worked out the way that they did for Lee, because I believe that he made his mark in cinema, and I am not entirely sure if he would have made his mark as a painter, but perhaps he would have, I guess that we won't really ever know that, now, but I'm grateful that we can watch his work, as an actor, in all its glory of 1080p HD. Enough of my ramblings! Film Munchers, what can we chew on from this film?
Again, the score is even more refined and appropriate, the editing is a marvel to watch, every edit is essential, and you can really feel that Sergio is using every tool available to him to build and build up a scene, so as to create the right moment for that life and death determining gun-shot.
Every single one hundred and thirty second minute is pure movie-making art. Sergio Leone, with his insanely adequate team bring together a cinema marvel. Take a bite of For a Few Dollars More, and see if you can't eat it all up!
TRIVIA COOKIE: As the movie begins, before the credits commence, the whistling that can be heard is actually Sergio Leone himself.

His father is a University of Miami legend.
So it's understandable that University of Miami sophomore Michael Irvin II would be scrutinized a bit closer than the usual Hurricanes battling for playing time.
And after some questionable reports from coaches regarding the younger Irvin, whose father Michael Irvin is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Canes tight end coach Todd Hartley divulged some uplifting news Friday for fans who feared they might only have one significant tight end this season after David Njoku left for the Cleveland Browns.
Michael II has made great improvements the past couple weeks, indicated Hartley, and has solidified a spot as the No. 2 Canes tight end.

"Those two right now are head and shoulders above the rest,'' Hartley said of talented senior starter Chris Herndon and Irvin.
Hartley mentioned "maturity,'' when asked what he's seen lately from Irvin to make him feel better about him. "He's matured and [is] really focused. He missed some time early on with a little deal and it was tough because he needs those reps – just from an experience standpoint, he needs reps. Coming back, he's a very intelligent kid and just getting out there and getting into condition'' has been beneficial, according to Hartley, "because he was out of shape.
"He's done a nice job the last couple of weeks.''
Because Irvin II, out of Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas High School, came into fall camp poorly conditioned, he couldn't string together reps, Hartley previously said. "He's got to be able to go four, five, six plays in a row without tapping the helmet [to be removed from play],'' Hartley said earlier in camp. "That's something we've told him. Chris Herndon can't go the whole time. Chris can go eight plays in a row, but hell, I can't have him go 10, 12 plays in a row.''
Irvin, a three-star prospect out of St. Thomas with soft hands and a good mind, is listed as 6-3 and 248 pounds. He played in six games last season but did not record any stats.
Senior Herndon, a soft-spoken. 6-4, 252-pounder out of Norcross, Georgia, started 12 of 13 games last season, with 28 catches for 334 yards and two touchdowns. Irvin making improvements means the Canes can depend more readily on their two tight-end package.
Irvin was held out of multiple practices this fall because of the conditioning, "dehydration" problem, coach Mark Richt said.
Walk-on Malik Curry played ahead of Irvin earlier in camp.
"We just have to make sure he's healthy before we get him out there full speed,'' Richt previously said. "…I'm not going to get into it.''
Irvin, whose father was a receiver at UM from 1985 to 87, already had problems maturity-wise, as he was one of seven players suspended for the Russell Athletic Bowl "for failing to meet the standards of expectations set by the program.''
"There might have been one guy who absolutely had to [be suspended] by some type of a policy,'' Richt said at the bowl, "but it's more so me sending a message to guys just saying, 'Tighten up. Do things right.' A lot of it is little things. It's a message to them and to the other guys that we're going to do things right around here.''
▪ Defensive coordinator Manny Diaz named redshirt junior Mike Smith as a starting linebacker along with usual starters Shaq Quarterman and Zach McCloud. Usual weak-side backer Michael Pinckney is suspended for the first half of the opener against Bethune-Cookman because he was called for targeting in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Pinckney also missed several days of fall camp because of a hamstring injury.
▪ Diaz said his top three safeties are Jaquan Johnson, Sheldrick Redwine and Robert Knowles. He said Dee Delaney and Michael Jackson will start at cornerback, with others, such as Malek Young, rotating in.
▪ Hartley said Braxton Berrios, Travis Homer, Malek Young, Mike Harley, Jeff Thomas and DeeJay Dallas are in the kickoff rotation. He said the punting is neck-and-neck between Zach Feagles and Jack Spicer, in part because Feagles is a newcomer.
