Dele Alli has spoken of his anguish following the defeat to Manchester United in Saturdays FA Cup semi-final. The 21- year-old star scored Tottenham's opener and only goal of the match during a first half hour that saw Spurs dominate their opposition, looking truly at home.
The FA Cup was Spurs' last gasp at glory following their defeats in the Champions League and Carabao Cup. It was their eighth successive semi-final defeat since last lifting the trophy in 1991. Alli has urged his teammates to pull together and ensure a top-four finish for themselves and the fans.
Dele Alli: "We can't keep talking and saying we want to win stuff."
He told the BBC and Spurs TV "We're disappointed. It's disappointing, yeah. You know we can't keep talking and saying we want to win stuff, and keep throwing it away like that. We were 1-0 up against Man Utd, tactically we were dominant, it was going really well, and we lost 2-1."
The stadium atmosphere for the first half an hour was truly electric, with the 'home' fans in full voice following what looked to be an easy first goal. Spurs dominated the play in similar manner to the home league win against their opponents.
The rain dampens Kane and Son failed to shine.
Then the clouds came in and the rain dampened the fans and the performance. Harry Kane failed to ignite once more, with many questioning his appearance in the second half. Heung Min-Son didn't shine, and usual stalwart Mousa Dembele looked unsteady. Dele Alli said of the second half:
"One-nil up, and you know the fans singing how they were, After the fans being how they were, we shouldn't have let that happen, we were attacking them. As soon as a team like that takes the lead it's hard to come back."
He added "We can't keep doing this. We have to pick ourselves up and finish the season strongly."
A top-four finish will have to again be the sole compensation for his sides' impressive but trophy-less season. It almost seems unreal that a side who has had that momentous victory over Real Madrid, and only two home losses in as many seasons have, on paper, achieved nothing.
The biggest concern for fans is not the initial disappointment, it's the worry that the best side they have had in twenty years will start to break up.
Exits for Mousa and Toby?
With exits already marked for Alderweireld, and rumours of
issues for Mousa Dembele, ergo many feel their best chances of glory have been and passed.
The opening of the glorious new stadium will be tarnished should the North Londoners lose any soldiers. Stars like midfield maestro Christian Eriksen, it is feared, will leave for higher salaries and achievement.
Dele Alli would also be a target for the likes of Real Madrid or Barcelona, with paycheques being significantly larger. Fans fear that the wage structure at Tottenham will again see them lose their best players. Moreover, the team, and momentum, which Pochettino has built may dissipate.
Pochettino "With me, or another."
Mauricio Pochettino's ambiguous comments have also alarmed the Spurs' following. He stated that Spurs would continue to build and move forward "With me or another". Thus leading to the obvious fears that the Argentine hero was contemplating his future in North London.
Sources close to the man and club have quickly rallied. Saying it was possibly said just in fear of his position following the defeat. Other more sceptical fans have taken the stand it was a message to Daniel Levy. Possibly indicating the wage issue may once again be the problem.
Now for Tottenham, as Dele Alli stated, that top four finish is vital on so many levels. Failure to gain Champion's League status will financially and psychologically set Spurs back.
A shiny new stadium will be no more than a castle in the air without Pochettino and his new model army to bring home the holy grail.
After experiencing an expensive bun fight for season tickets, the long-suffering fans may well run out of patience with Daniel Levy and his policies. That is, should Spurs hit a snake instead of a ladder at the end of this season.

This is my resume that got me a new freelance job!
I finally got my Nikko G-1 delivered and I'm so happy about the difference it makes in my line weight! I still need more practice but every day I practice I can see that my calligraphy becomes more even and consistent...
I've been trying different styles. The first one is straighter and the second one is more italic.
This is my newest composition. I like the unevenness of it and that it's bouncing around. I should have kept the lettersizes consistent though... the first row is bigger than the rest. But I think for my third try after watching Molly's videos it's not bad.
I attended a CARP workshop and this quote was mentioned. I immediately wrote it down because I thought it was awesome. Still got to work on my line weight and having more control over where the thicks and thins go...

PremierWest Bancorp said Monday it will seek as much as $41 million from the Department of the Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program instituted by the federal government in 2008.
Jim Ford, president and chief executive officer of the Medford-based bank holding company, called it a pre-emptive move.
"Primarily, we're just making sure that as an institution we continue to be healthy and viable so that we can continue to lend money in the communities we serve," Ford said.
PremierWest is considered "well capitalized" by banking standards, with capital of more than 10 percent compared to its risk-based assets such as commercial and consumer loans and other financial instruments.
"We don't know if regulators are going to raise the level of what is well capitalized," Ford said. "We've been hearing regulators may change that ratio limit to 12 percent. Right now, we're over 11 percent."
The Capital Purchase Program is part of the Troubled Assets Relief Program approved by Congress last October. Ford said PremierWest applied for the program two months ago, and has now been approved.
The bank expects to close the deal sometime in the first quarter of 2009, Ford said.
How much of the $41 million the bank will seek hasn't been decided. Ford said that unlike a line of credit, banks can make only one request for capital. For example, if a bank asked for a $25 million infusion, that would be the total, even if more money was still available
Under the program rules, the government will be issued shares of preferred stock guaranteeing a 5 percent dividend.
"The way we looked at it," Ford said, "even the largest banks are having a difficult time raising capital, and this is a pretty good cost for capital in some pretty uncertain times."
The Treasury infusion is for 10 years. After five years, the dividend jumps to 9 percent. Ford said most banking institutions think of the program as a temporary capital infusion and plan to replace it in five years.
"There are some incentives to replace the capital in three years," he said. "It's no different than when this institution issued preferred stock a few years ago and converted it to common stock in November."
Preferred shares are first in line to receive dividends before common shares.
Ford said some banking institutions have cut off lending to certain sectors.
"In the last two quarters, we grew the number of both consumer and business accounts — checking and money market accounts," Ford said. "There may not be as many lending opportunities out there, because people are not borrowing or they have cash flow problems and can't qualify."
"PremierWest is still making loans in any type of solid, good lending arrangement that makes sense," he said. "It's pretty common for savvy business people to slow down and take stock and make sure their cash position is solid enough before they borrow. All last year and back to 2007 there were borrowers sitting on the sidelines waiting for indications things were going to get better before they started borrowing again. The extra cash makes sure we can go after business with people that are not PremierWest customers, who are borrowing and depositing at other institutions."
PremierWest shares rose 7 cents to 4.47 in Monday trading.

Are you one of those men who want to carve out the power of creativity and add a pinch of personalization to personality? If yes then this post is for you! We at artsy pockets partner with local artists to design pocket square and handkerchiefs which can provide an appropriate finishing touch to your garment. It is unique in its build up and idea but what differentiates it the most is the fact that it can't be stolen by your brothers or roommates! Here are few things which make monogram handkerchief more special.
- Monogrammed pocket square won't only add an X-factor to your personality but also prove that you care a little more for yourself than the guy standing next to you!
- Monograms add a minor tweak to the clothes you already possess.
- Monograms serve as a great and unique gift for all the men in your life!
Everything is nicer with little personalisation and we are more than welcome if you are willing to customize the size, fabric or if you want to change the thread colour on existing pattern. But overall here are three things which we sternly follow.
We keep it subtle: the quantum of impact that the monogram will leave will depend upon how perfectly it is carved out! With artsy pockets you can be extremely relieved about the build up! This is because we keep it subtle and create a tonal look to add distinct touch. For instance in some cases we prefer to keep the same colour of the handkerchief and imprint but the shades are different! Like navy blue monogram on blue pocket square or vice versa.
We don't overdo: Monogramming your personality is good but over doing is disastrous and therefore while customizing the monograms for you we keep in mind that our designs are not spilling out of the bucket! We strictly believe and follow that monograms should be least visible and thus while creating them we make sure that pocket square have it in the corner only.
We are not just a hanky: we deeply respect you and your taste which has only inspired us to give air to non-traditional textures and patterns for the handkerchiefs. Our monograms are preferably made up on cotton (unless otherwise demanded by you) which makes it easy and quick to use. We can also customize the measurement of pocket square if you want it to vary as per the standard size. We have left no stone unturned in sourcing unexpected fabrics and dyeing technologies to deliver you nothing but the best!
These monograms are more tasteful than a complete name tag and cooler than preppy look of 80s! Artsy Pockets can help you in redefining your terms of style and fashion!So while we take care of style of your monogram handkerchief, you make sure that you don't overdo its usage. We will take care as we understand that any garment tailor-made according to your build is special and putting a name stamp over it makes it more special!

But, then again, that's probably the reason why the Fasano Las Piedres hotel is situated here. Designed by Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld, this exclusive bolthole in the heart of the Punte del Este countryside has the sole purpose of luring Brazilian's social elite out into the grassy dunes for some very private R&R. Featuring a polo field, private villas and a beach club to keep people entertained, along with an equestrian center and a horizon pool inside the hotel. It's ideally situated to take advantage of the sea without being just another beach resort. Isay's brutalist stylings on the outside belie the cool minimalism on the inside. The hotel lobby features exposed granite and low-flying beams with tastefully modernist furniture littered throughout. Rooms have a distinct Pampas feel, with autumnal pastel shades subtly hiding more modern amenities. So the next time you're thinking about running away from it all, remember to add Fasano Las Piedras to your list of possible destinations.

Spice has been a problem in Manchester for years. I first heard about it a few years ago when a friend rang me on her lunch break as she walked down market street in Manchester's city centre after speaking to a group of people living rough on the streets. Offering cigarettes and a friendly chat, they unravelled to her a life filled with hardships and unforgiving passer-by's, yet significantly, they shed light on the what was (then) 'new' and readily available: the cheap and legal high, spice. They told her how the drug was ripping homeless communities apart, selectively picking off their friends one-by-one and turning them into mindless zombies. Yet, they said, it was becoming increasingly difficult to remain abstinent from it.
That was in early 2014. Not a lot has changed since then, apart from the drug has had time to grow in popularity and gain as many helpless victims as possible, despite becoming banned later on. The worst part about spice is that its target audience is already vulnerable. The homeless are constantly looking for ways to numb the agony of a dismal life on the streets, and at five pounds a pop from local newsagents and the freedom to smoke it in public promised a life outside of a prison cell – even if that life is constrained to a hard, concrete floor – you can see why the homeless were quick to indulge in this quick and legally sound escape.
It gained popularity since it was marketed as a synthetic cannabis alternative, promising an altered, relaxed perception and a gentle elevated mood. Only the little-to-none research failed to mention that the effects of spice couldn't be further from the mellowing effects of marijuana. Unfortunately, the homeless were our guinea pigs for this drug, and this social experiment rapidly unveiled the detrimental effects spice really contained: uncontrollable body spasms, psychotic episodes, hallucinations, trembling addiction, and a zombified catatonic state of misery. The ban came all too late. Our homeless communities were already hooked and – if you know the right people – it is still available to illegally purchase in certain Manchester newsagents. Where there is a demand, there will always be a supplier, and this battle is one the authorities and the GMP are certain to lose now the crisis is catastrophically out of hand.
Yet the problem correlates to homelessness itself, with people on the streets growing in numbers now by the day due to continuing Tory cuts to welfare. It's not a new concept for those sleeping rough to numb the pain and seek the next best escape; heroin, crack, and alcohol (to say the least), have all served their time on the streets for being the most popular getaway from reality in certain eras. Spice is the new trend, and – like its predecessors – it serves to remove the individual from his or her excruciating surroundings. The crux of addiction is when a hallucinatory life devoid of reality is better than real life. To us, the mentally stable majority who enjoy coming home to their warm beds and fully stocked fridge, it's difficult to imagine why anyone would choose to live an unconscious walking-dead lifestyle. Only it isn't a lifestyle. It's an escape from their lack of one. Those who are quick to shame the homeless for finding vices to escape their brutal lifestyle ought to try living on the streets sober. When society views you as scum and a social parasite, it won't be long until your mental health deteriorates alongside your physical health and you'll be begging for anything to block out the infinite suffering.
This is the problem that I find with the general public: a lack of sympathy. Ignoring or criticising the homeless is not going to solve anything, and after years of turning a blind eye only now; now that the problem is effecting their 'shopping experience' or morning commute to work with the 'unsightly' scenes of spice-taking, have people started to care. But they are caring for all the wrong reasons. They are selfishly caring, viewing the homeless as a stain on our Manchester streets, a spoil to our eyes on a perfect summer's day. When you can drift through life comfortably, the homeless are that slap-in-the-face reminder that this regime cannot go on, that people are suffering while you are spending. The homeless seeking refuge in doorways and tremoring to the effects of spice are that injection of reality we don't want to face on a Monday morning or on our 'well-deserved' day off. The truth is hard to face but is nonetheless important to take responsibility for: the homeless epidemic that goes hand-in-hand with spice is our problem and our 'fault', more so than it is those individuals in this cruel situation. After all, the homeless stopped caring about themselves when society stopped caring about them. But now, the face of homelessness has reared its head to us. Spice has proved to become endemic with its takers desperately pleading for help; it's about time we instilled faith in humanity once more by showing a little kindness.
A lot of people are asking what exactly the public can do to help and, really, it's not a lot when tackling such a huge problem. The M.E.N published an enlightening article you can read here on how to handle someone overdosing and how to follow certain procedures by donating money to charities or volunteering in shelters or soup kitchens. But this doesn't attack the root cause. We need to appeal to our governments and our local MPs. They need to know that this cannot go on. You need to vote for change. You need to be the voice for those who go on unheard. While the homeless can vote, there's a lot of hoops to jump through to gain a ballot paper, and without the aid of the internet and its resources, it's fair to say a lot of the homeless don't know how or where to go when it comes to voting. Yet this is the result of year after year of welfare cuts that have hammered down onto the poor and vulnerable and pushed them out onto the streets. This is the result of benefits and other welfare support networks being axed.
The homeless live in darkness, in mental instability and constant pain. In 2017 people should not be forced out onto the streets. We as a society have become so ignorant to this fact that if you haven't come from affluent backgrounds with supportive parents or you have been unable to find work (which yes, IS clearly a problem), then people don't deserve a home or money to eat and survive. We have become so selfishly concerned with our own trivial problems and financial stability that self-sacrifice for the benefit of the state is simply unquestionable. Do people not realise that by providing homes and jobs for the homeless, our society and economy will flourish once more?
Homelessness doesn't have to be a sore sight anymore. Spice doesn't have to kill our beloved city. But it is and will continue to do so until our attitudes change. Until we open up our arms and recognise that this problem isn't a choice. Our government has forced this upon us – and it's about time they heard from us that this is not ok. We cannot accept that in a global superpower, thriving off capitalism and commodities, there are people living on the streets. Manchester has bounced back from many tribulating problems such as 1980s Thatcherism and the 1996 bomb, to say the least. Yet in both instances, the aftermath of such events caused us to rebuild ourselves out of the dust. We survived them and came out stronger than before. We can come through the other side of this, too. We're a city proud of our northern charm and friendliness. We're renowned for helping one another. The homelessness in Manchester is, as this writer in the M.E.N points out, a shame on us all. Our voices need to be carried all the way to Westminster, all the way down to number 10 Downing Street. But it will only get there if we shout loud enough. In the meantime, show the homeless some love and kindness, because you never know just how close you are to sharing that doorstep with them someday.

The future of Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain really is anyone's guess right now…
Indeed, after another season that saw the England international largely on the periphery it looks as though he wants to jump ship from the Emirates.
Who he signs for, though, is set to be a question that endures for some time with Sky Sports claiming that three of the biggest hitters in the league are keen.
Indeed, Arsenal could have to decide whether they sell to Liverpool, Manchester City or Chelsea if 'The Ox' makes it clear he's not staying around and, in many ways, we could be set for quite the transfer tussle.
Stand by your beds, then, for a battle that's bound to see the winner pay well over the odds – even if he is a decent player.

Tabb Centenary Year LVI
Five lyrics by Rev. John B. Tabb.
Autumn Wind
It sings, and every flower and weed
1902 (p. 51, Nature: The Wind)
Indian Summer
Tis said, in death, upon the face
October 1887 (p. 89, Nature: The Seasons)
In My Orange-Grove
Orbs of Autumnal beauty, breathed to light
1894 (p. 24, Nature: Trees)
Autumn Gold
Death in the house, and the golden-rod
September 1892 (p. 11, Nature: Flowers)
The Twins
Are you lost,
(p. 100, Nature: Miscellaneous)
[Indian Summer: Indian Summer is a warm spell when the leaves are in color. Autumn Gold: goldenrod is any of a large number of flowering plants that bloom in late Summer and Autumn. The Twins: Jack Frost is the personification of crisp, cold weather.]
The references (page number and section) are to The Poetry of Father Tabb, ed. Francis A. Litz, Ph.D. (New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1928). All of Tabb's poems published here in the Father Tabb Centenary Year were originally published before 1923.
Biblical references link to the New Advent Bible comprising Bishop Challoner's edition of the Douay-Rheims Bible (English) and the Sixto-Clementine edition of the Vulgate (Latin), since they are the versions which Father Tabb would have used as a Catholic.
The year 2009 is the centenary of the death of Rev. John Banister Tabb, November 19, 1909.

Buy Allrecipes.com Your Carpets Cleaner With One Of These Tips
Should your carpeting has lost its luster lately, why not consider hiring a professional company to take it back to its original beauty? The difference will stun you. Follow these tips to get the best of the greatest in professional rug cleaning.
On plush carpet, ensure that you spend a little bit more time vacuuming. These areas are usually thicker compared to a standard carpet, so you are going to have to go over it more times to complete the task. This will help you to become as efficient as you can in your cleaning regimen.
There are occasions where upholstery cleaning sales agents might pressure you into having more carpets cleaned than you really want. Don't be offended with this, but if they are too pushy it is okay to find another company to handle. You must feel safe with all the people you will be giving your small business to.
Prior to getting a company to clean your carpets, ensure they may have a solid reputation. Ensure that the company has references and people who can back them up. An effective carpet cleaner may have interior designers, realtors and a few other sources that are able to make a recommendation.
When engaging the help of an experienced carpet cleaning firm, always be certain to learn online review sites offering information highly relevant to your neighborhood area. By spending some time to look for specific discussion of service providers in your neighborhood, you will find a far better thought of the type of company you happen to be hiring, and whether it comes with a good track record of solid customer support.
In order to maintain the look and quality of your carpet you should tackle stains once they occur. The more that they sit, the harder it will probably be to obtain them out. Keep a trusted carpet cleaners solution on hand so that you will are not vulnerable to possessing a stain remain to the life of the carpet.
Before a carpet cleaner comes to your house, question them if they are vacuuming your carpet first. Should they say no, then you definitely, yourself, should provide the carpets a brief vacuum. Doing so will assist you to remove dirt and debris from your top layer from the carpet, making it easier for them to get deeper involved with it.
Just using vinegar and tepid water makes an excellent upholstery cleaning solution. The final results are excellent and also the expense is unbeatable. Just create the same mixture, pour and scrub utilizing a sponge. Rinse well with tepid water and use a follower to dry it.
Be sure to ask the carpet company you are thinking about whether they use a guarantee. Good companies needs to have some kind of guarantee, whether it's 2 weeks or 1 month. This guarantee needs to include an additional cleaning cost-free in the event that problems arise making use of their original work. If the company does not include any guarantee, this might be a signal you shouldn't hire them.
Carpet cleaners companies often offer significant discounts throughout the summer season. You must learn what is available, so talk to a few companies to ascertain if they have a deal which fits your budget. You could potentially discover they are going to clean two rooms at your residence for the same price as one. They might also toss within a chair or sofa cleaning.
When you are cleaning a stain that has already been soaked up as far as possible you can start the cleaning externally from the stain. This may make sure that you will not be spreading the stain any longer than it already was. Remember, start externally and work your path to the center to get the best results.
Never rub a stain because it will smear it around your carpet. You should only blot the stain before you apply the cleaning agent. Talk to a professional to refresh your carpets and have them appearing like new.
Always get information in creating just before allowing the cleaning company at home. The contract should specify what areas of the home should be cleaned, what cleaning products will probably be used, and the way much the task will cost. If the cleaning company will never give you a written contact, usually do not use their services.
You will not see yourself ever cleaning your own personal carpet again after you have it professionally done. Getting a company that is reliable and professional is very important, and this information has helped one does exactly that. Permit the professionals to clean your carpets and get them looking incredible.

Say, you are operating a business in Sydney which is succeeding enough that you just feel you'll be able to enter in the worldwide trade however, you'll still desire to strengthen the neighborhood market presence. Internet marketing can suit your needs because it can target both audiences…Read More

WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, PA – Higher costs at the pump, renewable energy, and alternate sources continue to headline today's news, and a group of newly published ASTM International specifications sets the standard for one type of these fuels: biodiesel. Four standards now available from ASTM International provide quality assurance for biodiesel — a fuel used in freight trucks, buses, boats, ships, and more.
"The specifications define properties and controls critical to the viable use of biodiesel blends in the marketplace. These standards, when fully enforced, in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission pump labeling requirements will provide engine manufacturers and their customers' confidence that the fuels will perform as expected," said Roger Gault, technical director for the Engine Manufacturers Association in Chicago, who participated in the standards' development.
The new and revised ASTM biodiesel standards include the following:
· ASTM D975-08a, Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils — used for on- and off-road diesel applications; was revised to include requirements for up to five percent biodiesel.
· D396-08b, Specification for Fuel Oils — used for home heating and boiler applications; was revised to include requirements for up to five percent biodiesel.
· ASTM D7467-08, Specification for Diesel Fuel Oil, Biodiesel Blend (B-6 to 20) — a completely new specification that covers finished fuel blends of between six (B6) and 20 (B20) percent biodiesel for on- and off-road diesel engine use.
· ASTM D6751-08, Specification for Biodiesel Fuel Blend Stock (B-100) for Middle Distillate Fuels — used to control pure biodiesel (B-100) quality prior to blending with conventional diesel type fuels; was revised to include a requirement that controls minor compounds using a new cold soak filterability test.
The widely used ASTM International diesel specifications have been in existence for decades with only minor changes to their contents.
"ASTM D975 and ASTM D396 are the primary specifications in the U.S. for each of the products that they specify. D975 is the commercial diesel fuel specification," said Steve Westbrook, a staff scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, and chair of Subcommittee D02.E0 on Burner, Diesel, Non-Aviation Gas Turbine, and Marine Fuels, the group in ASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants that oversees the standards.
"D396 is the commercial heating oil specification. Now we have actually been given allowance to put something in that historically has not been in diesel fuel and is not a diesel fuel, with really no significant change to the properties or their requirements."
For more information about the biodiesel standards, the biodiesel Web portal and Committee D02, contact ASTM staff manager David Bradley at (610) 832-9681 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Discount Quality Furniture / damaged furniture
Discount Quality Furniture deliverd & set up a piece of furniture for me in November, & unfortunately I wasnt here when the job was completed. I foolishly trusted they would do it correctly. I paid $300 for WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY SERVICES. What a joke. I have been trying to get someone to come out & put the piece together correctly now for almost 3 months & continue to get run around from this company. Every one I speak with is giving me a different story & they are all lying. I need resolution. I even contacted the VP of the company who did nothing about it as well. They have stated they tried to contact me to come out, NO ONE HAS DONE SO.

Sierra Club Wilderness Travel Course, Pt 1
Or, what I will call "Pt 1: When do you abandon us in the desert with no water and only a topo map and compass?"
I will start this post by writing one of my most-used phrases on this blog: I've been meaning to write about this for awhile, but haven't gotten around to it. My head is constantly full of swirling ideas (amongst other things) in regards to this blog. I want to review ALL THE GEARS that I'm obsessed with (like that Patagonia Houdini, which is rapidly becoming my new best friend), I want to talk about all the trips I have planned, and the move that is taking place in my life in a few short months.
But, what happens instead: I spend all day at work, sometimes on a computer, and then realize upon returning home in the evening that I don't want to spend more time on the computer. However, I think it's important (and fun, always fun) for me to sit down (or stand up) and take some time to write about topics that aren't related to work or academics. So, here we go: I've really been wanting to do a nice summary of the Sierra Club Wilderness Travel Course (or WTC) I've been participating in over the last few months. It's the best. The. Best.
If you learn one thing from this overly long and detailed post, I want you to know this: TAKE THIS CLASS. It's amazing. You will learn a lot of things. Many many things. You will maybe disagree with some of the things, but a vast majority of them are things you probably either don't know, or needed to be reminded about.
You should also know these details:
– WTC website: http://www.wildernesstravelcourse.org
– When: January-March (I assume this stays fairly regular from year to year). If you really think you want to sign up, do it early! There was a pretty large wait list by the time January came around.
– Where: At 4 locations in the Los Angeles area, read below for more details in regards to this.
– Cost: $335 for Sierra Club members, $370 for non-members. Plus, you will likely have to purchase gear, unless you're like me and live in a sea of gear. To me, this class has been well worth the money though!
When I first heard about this class after reading about it over on Modern Hiker I thought to myself, "Well, you've been backpacking since middle school, and have been pretty obsessed with it since that time, how much can you actually learn in a backpacking class?" Well, turns out a lot. While much of the class IS in fact about backpacking, it certainly is ALSO full of information related to more intense mountaineering practices as well (something I love).
Overview of the class:
It happens over a course of 10 weeks, with one evening session per week based on the location you sign up for. There are four sections, each generally meeting on a different night each week: West Los Angeles, San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach/South Bay, and Orange County. As part of the West Los Angeles cohort, I meet the class every Wednesday night at a local elementary school, where we do this stuff:
1. One hour lecture on weekly topic: It could be outdoor gear, conditioning, snow or mountain travel. I've been pleasantly surprised by the number of women giving weekly lectures, which has been inspiring.
2. When you first start the class, you are placed into one of four smaller groups. These groups will be your WTC family for the duration of the course. You'll attend smaller classroom sessions with them every week after the full lecture (all groups attend this), and you'll go on your outings with them as well.
3. Each smaller group will have numerous instructors, who will guide you in topical education semi-related to the main lecture of the evening. For example, this past week we began the evening with a lecture on wilderness first aid, and then completed scenarios in our smaller groups afterwards. You are assigned a mentor, who is available for you to ask questions, or sometimes even loan you gear.
4. As I mentioned there are outings, you will do a:
– Conditioning hike: We hiked Mt. Lowe in the San Gabriel Mountains (about 14 miles, roughly 2500 elevation gain, I think).
– Joshua Tree overnight: After leaving early (so, so early) you spend one full day wandering around the desert in small groups with an instructor, practicing with your map + compass and learning how to travel in the desert. The next day, you'll do a really fun climb of Peak 4377.
– Snow travel day: Spend a day learning how to travel on snow (if you can find snow, this is California, after all).
– Snow camping weekend (2 nights): Go to the sierras with your group, where you will spend two nights learning how to not freeze in your four season tent (which you probably rented).
Here is a sampling of the things I've learned so far (a bit more than halfway through):
1. Navigation: THIS IS IMPORTANT! I'll be honest. In college, I carried a mini compass on my backpack, but I had no idea how to use it. I thought it seemed like a good idea. But, now I'm getting pretty confident with a topographic map and a compass. While I've always used and liked topo maps (partially because I think they're beautiful) I've never spent any time with them in the field, looking at the landscape around me and understanding how it corresponds to what I see on the map. I always thought, "I'm just on this trail and I follow it to this thing, and I have a trail map, so why would I need to know anything else?" Sure, this is sometimes true. But, I've also always really wanted to go off trail more, and this is just the ticket to get me there. (And it's fun, so so fun). Plus, as we all know, even on-trail trips should be accompanied by some map skills (and hopefully a map).
2. General Skills: The format of the class is very geared towards beginners, which at times has been a little frustrating to me. I've spent years learning the difference between down and synthetic insulation (I mean, I carried that huge synthetic bag for YEARS!), I know about backpacks, and I learned all kinds of things just from trial and error. But, the thing is: There is a lot I don't know, and this class is introducing me to those things. One of the best things you can do sometimes is relearn some of the basic things, and also take advantage of learning from instructors who have a lot of experience.
3. Rock scrambling: I've generally done minor rock scrambling around campsites in the evening, but I've never really done anything more off-trail than that. Through this course, I've finally gotten to do a class 2/class 3 rock scramble to Peak 4377 in Joshua Tree National Park, and now I'm addicted (ugh, thanks WTC). It's like a giant playground for adults, full of abrasive rock, cactus, and sweeping views.
4. Snow camp: I haven't done this yet, so I can't reflect on my experience at this point. But, this was one of the big factors inspiring me to sign up for this class. I had to think it over a lot (do I want to camp in the snow, after that one time I accidentally camped in the snow in the rockies??) But, eventually I concluded that yes, snow camping seems like it could maybe not horrible if you prepare to actually snow camp, so I should learn how to do it. I'll be writing a part 2 with more reflections on snow camp later next month.
5. You don't know everything: While, as I mentioned, I fashion myself a pretty savvy backpacker (HEY, I just bought a TARP! I'm fancy), this class is a much needed reminder that there still so much to learn. It's also a reminder of how much there is out there to explore, if you have the right tools to be able to safely get there.
This weekend, we have a snow travel day, which will include… Actual snow! Apparently there was some lucky snowfall over the last few days, and we're due for more over the weekend. So, looks like I'll get to drag some snow shoes around (I have a love/hate relationship with snowshoeing at this point in my life, hopefully that will change in the next few weeks).
After that: Snow camping (click here for part 2). Fingers crossed, both for snow, and the warmth of my supposed zero degree quilt.
Until then, here are some more Joshua Tree photos:

Sniffed lighter gas, lit up smoke - ended up in hospitalA man at the end of his 20s was seriously injured in an explosion-like fire in Sandnessjøen Tuesday evening. The man was sniffing gas in the lavatory, and then had a cigarette.
By: Marit Almendingen marit.almendingen[AT]helgeland-arbeiderb
The man was in the lavatory of the public transportation waitingroom next to the Narvesen newsstand when the fire erupted. He got himself out of the room, but had such serious burns in the face, the arm and one leg that he immediately was sent to the hospital Sandnessjøen. From there the man was transferred to the national burns unit at Haukeland Hospital in Bergen.
- We do not wish to say anything about the cause of the fire. We are investigating the matter in the normal way, says operational leader Knut Tverå at Helgeland Police District. The police has however been given access to pctures from surveillance-cameras, which show the man sniffing, before lighting a cigarette.
The fire was reported shortly before 10 Tuesday evening. There were no other persons present when the fire started. But a customer in the newsstand nextdoor helped put out the fire.
Morten Guttormsen of Idamar Eiendom, which owns the building, says the man had ignited lighter gas which exploded.
- The door was blow off the hinges byu the explosion, he said. Guttormsen expects it won't take long before the waitingroom is available for the public again.
- We will keep the waitingroom open for when the people at the islands come in for Christmas-shopping, he said, and added that it can be expensive to run a waitingroom, but it is something they are happy to do.
- The damage is fairly extensive. We need to get the room cleaned up, and the ceiling-plates are also destroyed, says Guttormsen.
And here's a follow-up, from online newspaper TV2 Nettavisen:
Exploded in the lavatoryBy Kjetil Mæland 19.11.04 13:21, updated 19.11.04 13:37
The sniffer locked himself in the lavatory and got high on lighter gas. Afterwards he lit himself a cigarette. Then things went bad.
Recordings from Narvesen's surveillance-cameras show how the door to the waitingroom for the ferries harboured in Sandnessjøen, is blow open by a fireball. Then the 29 years old man comes running out, struggling to put out the flames in his clothes.
It was at 9:30 Tuesday evening that the man locked himself in the small lavatory of the waitingroom in Sandnessjøen in Nordland. The man had bought four bottles of Ronson lighter gas to get high on. In the 2 by 3 metres (6.5 by 10 feet) room, he switched off the ventilation to get maximum effect from the gas. After inhaling some of the gas, he lit a cigarette. The gas exploded and the force of the explosion was so strong that it blew open the door of the waiting-room itself.
- The entire room was brown with scorchmarks from the explosion. The ceiling-plates had been blown out and there was fire in the dustbin among other places. Next to the commode we found the package of tobacco on one side and the lighter on the other side. The gas-bottles were spread around the room, said Morten Guttormsen of Idamar Eiendom, which owns the building, to TV2 Nettavisen.
The man got burns in his face, his arm, and one leg. He was taken to Haukeland Hospital for treatment, writes Helgeland Arbeiderblad.
Following the explosion the waitingroom was closed for several days. It was not until Friday that it could be opened for the public again.

"According to the Doctrine of Signatures in the 16th and 17th centuries in medieval Europe and England, various plants were employed in herbal medicine as specific cures due to a fancied resemblance of the shape of a root, leaf or fruit to a particular part of the human body. Thus the walnnut was the perfect signature of the human head, while the kernel bore an uncanny likeness to the brain." – The Book of Edible Nuts by Frederic Rosengarten, Jr. (1984)

Posted 15 November 2016 | By Zachary Brennan
The European Medicines Agency (EMA), in cooperation with the European Commission and the EU member states, on Tuesday proposed revisions to its 2007 guideline on first-in-human clinical trials as part of an effort to further improve the safety of participants as trial protocols become increasingly complex.
The revised guideline, which is open for public consultation until 28 February 2017, is intended to further assist sponsors in the transition from non-clinical to early clinical development.
While identifying factors influencing risk for new investigational drugs, the document also includes considerations on quality aspects, non-clinical and clinical testing strategies and designs for first-in-human trials, as well as early phase trials.
"Strategies for mitigating and managing risks are given, including principles on the calculation of the starting dose to be used in humans, the subsequent dose escalation, the criteria for maximum dose and the conduct of the CT [clinical trial] including the conduct of multiple parts," the guidance reads.
The release of the revisions follows a review of the guideline launched back in May by EMA, after a Phase I, first-in-human trial in France last January left one patient dead and five others hospitalized.
But as EMA has noted, adverse reactions in healthy volunteers such as those observed in the trial in France are extremely rare. Since 2005, approximately 14,700 Phase I trials (with 305,000 subjects) have been run in the EU, including 3,100 first-in-human studies. Only one other severe incident has been previously reported in that time.
Prior to the release of this revision, EMA released for public consultation a concept paper outlining the major areas for revision and to reflect the evolution of practices in the last 10 years. The consultation served as the basis for the revision, which was carried out by an EU-wide group of experts from national competent authorities who authorize trials in the EU.
In particular, the guidance is focused on non-clinical aspects, such as the better integration of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data and toxicological testing into the overall risk assessment, as well as the role of non-clinical data in the definition of the estimated therapeutic dose, maximal dose, and dose steps and intervals.
EMA also delves into clinical aspects in the guidance, including criteria to stop a study, the rolling review of emerging data with special reference to safety information for trial participants, and the handling of adverse events in relation to stopping rules and rules guiding progress to the next dosing level.
EMA says it will make public all comments received, both on the concept paper and the revised guideline, after the final guideline is released. The agency said it's aiming to publish a final revised guideline in the first half of 2017.

Anemone Reef lies approximately half way between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi and is accessible from both islands. The dive site is comprised of a series of submerged granite pinnacles, which rise up from the sea floor at about 32 metres. It is carpeted with a dense population of anemones that dance in the currents, which sometimes, can be very strong here. It is a small dive site, but here you can find a huge variety of marine life here. Honeycomb and Zebra Morays haunt the cracks and crevices waiting patiently for dinner to arrive.
Seahorses are waiting to be found hiding in the plentiful Gorgonian Fans. Turtles, Leopard Sharks, Banded Sea Snakes and Pipefish inhabit the reef, while schools of Trevally, Snapper and Barracuda dazzle divers with their silvery light shows. This is the submerged obstacle that was struck by the King Cruiser car ferry back in 1997. It sunk within an hour and now lies a stones throw away on the seabed, still in an upright position. Anemone Reef, and the King Cruiser are often both on the same itinerary for day trips out of both Phuket and Phi Phi.
On its day, Anemone Reef is one of the best dive sites in Thailand. When the vis is clear and the currents are mild and kind, this dive site will leave you breathless upon surfacing. The currents can be very strong here and it's a good idea to descend and ascend using the mooring line. For the safety stop you can hover over the reef at 5 metres checking out the smaller inhabitants like some White Eye Morays, and Nudibranchs. There can be a lot of boat traffic here, so be careful upon surfacing and use a SMB where necessary. There is a mooring line available for descent and ascents and it comes in very handy when doing a safety stop in ripping currents.

How did the name "spelling bee" originate?
Everyone knows what a spelling bee is, but not many people know what its name actually means. After all, it would be a bit bizarre to find a bee that can spell.
The truth is, the "bee" in "spelling bee" remains a mystery for most people. Students usually assume that the bee refers to the insect. This is only logical considering both the modern usage of the word "bee" and that the insect features on the Scripps National Spelling Bee logo.
Generally speaking, today the "bee" in "spelling bee" could be the insect, but that's not how the world's most famous English language competition was initially named.
Over the years, the word bee has not only been used to describe the insect but has had many other meanings. Some centuries ago, bee (or been) used to refer to a social gathering, a meeting of friends and neighbors where everyone participated in one joint activity, such as sewing, for example. Usually, such "bee" activities were done with the aim of helping a friend or a family member. To give an exact Merriam Webster dictionary definition, the Middle English word bene normally meant "voluntary help given by neighbors toward the accomplishment of a particular task."
That said, it is possible that calling the black and yellow insect "bee" was inspired by the fact that bees and beehives share their social and industrious nature with humans and their gatherings. Yet, in recent years, linguists made a strong claim against this interesting theory. Instead, they suggested that the word bee derives from the Old English bene or boon which means "a prayer, a favor." This explains why bees were activities in which people helped a neighbor or friend in need. How the insect got its name most likely had nothing to do with them.
The first time the word bee appeared in print was in 1769, and it was in the context of a "spinning bee." Later on, expressions such as "husking bee," "apple bee," and "logging bee" began to be used.
The word "spelling bee" was officially created in 1875, but it had probably been used in the spoken language for some years before. What is certain, though, spelling competitions had existed for quite some time before they became known as "spelling bees."
For instance, spelling bees used to be connected to much more violent words, such as "spelling fight" and "spelling combat." In print, the competition was addressed as a "spelling match" as early as in 1808. What inspired these "matches" was Noah Webster's (the founding father of Merriam-Webster) spelling books, first published in 1786. These books were part of the elementary school curriculum, so of course, students all over the country enjoyed getting into "spelling combats" for many years before the bee came along.
Evidently, bee is a much better choice, because it is short, easy to spell and remember and, most importantly, it has a positive meaning. We, for once, are glad there are no spelling fights on TV these days.
When was the first spelling bee?
Now that you know what the spelling bee is, you must be wondering who invented this wonderful competition.
Even though the ideas about "spelling matches" and "spelling books" started in the late 18th century, the first national spelling bee competition was organized on June 17, 1925, by a newspaper in Louisville, Kentucky called The Courier-Journal.
That's right; it was a newspaper who we need to thank for the spelling bee.
Another eight newspapers collaborated with the Courier-Journal to organize the historic first national championship which combined several local spelling bees. Since then, the national spelling bee competition has been held every year; except from 1943 to 1945 during World War II.
Isn't that an impressive record?
Going back to the 1925 national spelling bee that took place at the National Museum in Washington, D.C. This first national spelling bee had only nine contestants (six girls and three boys).
Just imagine, about two million students had participated in school spelling bees. But only nine people got to meet President Calvin Coolidge before the contest began.
The first person to win the first official national spelling bee was an 11-year old boy called Frank Neuhauser. The winning word he spelled correctly was a pretty tough one - "gladiolus."
For his effort, young Frank received $500 in gold and, the free trip to D.C.
It gets better.
When Frank returned to his hometown Louisville, Kentucky, the city even held a parade in his honor. The crowds made sure to bring bouquets of Frank's new favorite flower – the gladiolus.
This spelling battle took only 90 minutes. Right after Frank came 11-year old Edna Stover from New Jersey. Frank and Edna were competing for the first place, but she misspelled the word "gladiolus" as "g-l-a-d-y-o-l-o-u-s."
This brought her the second place and $250.
What other words appeared in this first short spelling bee championship? The other seven spellers failed to spell the following words: moribund, valuing, statistician, blackguard, propeller, cosmos, and skittish.
Not so tough, was it?
Would these words make it to today's national finals?
Highly unlikely.
In fact, Mister Neuhauser told The Washington Post he wouldn't have been able to pass the first round of the spelling bee in 1993.
As you probably know, if you can't attend, you can watch the national spelling bee on TV.
But this wasn't the case with the first national championship.
The NBC live broadcasted the national finals for the first time in 1946. However, even then the NBC did not make it a regular TV show, and the national spelling bee had only been shown twice more in 1974 and 1977 on PBS.
Since 1994, the national spelling bee has been broadcasted on the cable-television channel ESPN, with a short trip to ABC in 2006.
Evidently, the spelling bee has changed drastically since 1925, but the spirit of education, competition, and valuing the brightest young minds in the country and beyond still persist.
How do you enter the spelling bee championships?
Each year, millions of children take part in different spelling bee competitions around the country and abroad. Yet, only a few of them end up on national TV.
How do they do that?
There are two major steps to getting to the national spelling bee championship.
First, you need to start low and win your school spelling bee.
Second, you must then qualify to represent your school at a regional spelling bee and, of course, win it.
As if these two steps alone are not hard enough to accomplish, there is a number of other eligibility criteria that all aspiring spellers must take into consideration.
First things first.
Not any school spelling bee contest will qualify you for the championship. Your school must be enrolled in the Scripps program and determined to send a student to the official regional spelling bee.
The Pre-enrollment period usually starts on August 1, nearly 10 months before the annual championship takes place, and it extends all the way to mid-December.
That being said, even if your school doesn't participate in the Scripps spelling bee program, students and parents have a lot of time to convince the administration to give it a try.
Once that is done, the winner of the school competition advances to the regionals. A regional spelling bee typically includes several counties, and sometimes even an entire state.
Not all the rules of the national competition apply to regional competitions, so the organizers have some flexibility as to how they choose their representative.
What's unique about these regional-level competitions is that they must have sponsors, usually local newspapers, which host the contest and send the winner to Maryland for the championship.
There are over 280 sponsors at the moment, meaning that there are over 280 regional competitions and winners who qualify for the national championship.
Is there any way kids from schools which do not participate in the official Scripps program can end up in Maryland?
Technically yes.
Self-sponsored spelling champions are free to send their application to the Scripps National Spelling Bee and hope to get an approval.
This small exception to the rules and regulations is especially useful for children who are homeschooled or live in very rural areas.
It is also important that you fulfill these two criteria on the road to the national championship in the same year.
You must enter the regional and the national competition immediately after you win the school competition.
More precisely, only the spellers who are declared champions of a local spelling bee in the same year when the national competition takes place can compete.
The Scripps Bee also limits who can qualify for the national championship based on age and grade.
Only students enrolled in the eighth grade or below as of the year when the Scripps championship takes place can advance to the finals.
The winners of any high school spelling bee, unfortunately, cannot run for the grand prize.
Because students (and their parents) go crazy about the spelling bee, Scripps has made it one of the eligibility rules that the speller must not repeat a grade to extend their spelling bee eligibility.
That means can't stay in grade eight until you're 18 hoping to win the national spelling bee. In fact, the maximum age is 15.
Relating to that, skipping school to get to the spelling bee championship won't do any good either.
The Bee will check whether the applicants continue to follow "normal school activity" throughout the preparation period for the championship.
Here, Latin, Ancient Greek, Modern Greek and English Literature do not qualify as "normal school activity," but any four or more courses which are not languages and spelling taken for at least four hours per day will suffice.
Another significant thing to note is, that if your parent, sibling or even a first cousin works for the E.W. Scripps Company, tough luck.
The Bee does not allow any relatives of the Scripps' employees to consider for the national spelling bee.
The only way this could change is to politely ask your relative to find a new job.
Finally, there is some level of bureaucracy to the national spelling bee, too.
Once a speller qualifies for the championship, they must register online by filling in a completed online Champion Registration form.
There are some other statements, certificates, and agreements that need to be signed and sent before the qualifying speller can head towards Maryland for the preliminaries.
As you may know, there is a number of small things that a speller must comply with to get all the way to the national spelling bee.
Still, two most difficult tasks are winning the school spelling bee and winning the regional bee.
After those two tasks are complete, all other requirements will be a piece of cake.

It's October. It's the middle of October. Where did the summer go? My bucket list was a great idea but I should have known that it was going to be impossible to finish. I did get most of the kid stuff down but we never made it to one Royals game. I can't decide if I'm just lazy or way too busy. I think that I have convinced myself that working a full-time job with a one and two-year old is just plain exhausting and that's my excuse.
My friends with older children tell me it gets better but I believe they are full of it because they are consumed by soccer practice, volleyball games, and football banquets. A little much you think. I believe when I was in the elementary school we played one sport at a time and had practice on a Wednesday and the soccer game was saturday morning sometime between eight and eleven in the morning, and that was it. It is exhausting just thinking about it.
As the winter months are approaching they girls are getting to that fun age where they can play with each other. Reese is running around the house and Maggie is right behind her bugging the crap out of her. Ahh, super fun times at my house. Maybe I cool it with the Bucket Lists and concentrate on the real important tasks at hand, potty training and getting an almost 3-year-old to sleep in her own bed without a screaming fit. I will keep you posted.

First Came Botox, Then Dysport And Now Xeomin
Expression lines are inevitable, but that doesn't mean they need to be permanent.
With a variety of wrinkle relaxers to choose from, which one is best for you?
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin all restrict facial muscle movement in order to smooth out wrinkles and prevent new wrinkles from forming. They are very similar, but they have slightly different properties, which Dr. Azizzadeh uses to his patients' advantage.
Dysport diffuses, or spreads out, a little more than Botox, making it a great treatment for crow's feet and the forehead. Alternatively, Botox stays where it is injected better, which is optimal for treating wrinkles on the lower face. Additionally, Xeomin is more similar to Botox than Dysport, and therefore can be used interchangeably with Botox.
Dr. Azizzadeh's expertise in injectables and extensive knowledge of facial anatomy allow him to combine the toxins to achieve optimal anti-aging results!
Whether you need a combination of products or just one, it is important to remember that an expert injector will be able to tailor your wrinkle erasing treatments to your needs.

When I think of rootedness I am reminded of my landlady's wisteria. I know that may sound a bit strange.
A couple of years ago my landlady wished to have the back of her residence re-painted. In preparation of the painting, she had an old wisteria vine cut down to the ground level. She saved pieces of the vine which were large and twisted as decorative pieces in large flower arrangements, had the painting done and imagined that was all of the wisteria vine. Little did she know that the wisteria was plotting a come-back. Wisteria vines have come up where the roots originally were, in the flower beds, and even through cracks in the concrete floor. I had never thought of wisteria as invasive, but having seen it, I imagine the wisteria will survive longer than the house. I find it amusing and am in awe of the tenacity of this vine.
I imagine each of us are aware of our own "vines" which may be positive, but also potentially less so. We could discuss all kinds of seemingly real and metaphorical vines.
However, in this blog post I wish to focus on that deep root that is part of our goodness, our courage, our tenacity that draws strength from the Holy One who is also the source of our being. It is not a wisteria plant but rather our own living self. We can find humor in our humanness as well as appreciation and gratitude for the gift of life and the grace of living. Thanks be to God.

Following your initial interest enquiry, we will invite you and your child to attend a FREE Educational Assessment. This is a friendly and relaxed meeting, giving you the chance to see where we are and what we look like. It also gives us the opportunity to assess your child's needs and potential. Following the assessment, we will provide you with thorough, professional and honest feedback about what we have observed and discuss a plan to move forward.
If we are both in agreement that Kip McGrath can help your child, then we will design an individualised learning programme of study based on 80 minute sessions that include a full range of different challenges. Tuition is delivered in what we call 'one-to-one, in a small group environment' . This means there are up to 5 children in a session, however, every child receives 1-2-1 contact time and every child is following their own individualised programme of study.
We believe this offers the best learning environment possible for a number of reasons. Firstly, the centre environment offers you the peace of mind, of a secure trusted place of education. We are Ofsted registered, all our tutors are DBS checked and all must be qualified teachers, with relevant classroom experience. The centre is also designed to limit the distractions that are usually found within the familiarity of the home setting. In addition, the group environment is able to reduce the stress levels of the students by removing the intense one student, one tutor situation and allows the children to feel more relaxed, knowing they have peers around them. With reduced anxiety, children are far more receptive to learning. Finally, the group setting allows children to slowly build their confidence working alone, which in turn allows them to benefit from independency and self motivated learning, which is critical to the long term recall of the information taught. Furthermore, this teaches them longer term life skills, to enable them to thrive at secondary school and beyond.
Each student's individual programme begins at an appropriate level (set by the earlier assessment), so that they are extended and challenged, but never overwhelmed.
Classes are run after school on weekdays and on Saturday mornings and your child would need to attend one regular pre-arranged session, once a week. Sessions run on a weekly basis, and our term approximately follows that of Kent state schools.

Welcome Back Bulletin Boards 2010August 25, 2010
I have one bulletin board that I consistently leave the same all school year. It has our posters that I call…"These are your school boundaries" on it.
Since our school has a southwestern theme….I was lucky to find a Cricut cartridge that is called Olde West. It is perfect for us.
You don't have a Cricut machine you say?
Surely if there is only 6 degrees of separation between you and Kevin Bacon there would be even less between you and someone you know who owns the Cricut Expressions.
Some scrapbook stores even rent "time" on the machine and they are happy to show you how the machine operates. Make a new friend and add some cute die cuts to a welcome back bulletin board!
A big "Howdy" was perfect. I love the racing horses.
I love the stage-coach –
I went a bit crazy cutting
out all the western boots – I love the fine details
that the machine cuts in the boots.
Yes, I really do want them to turn off their cell phones!
What did YOU read this summer?August 25, 2010
I was able to read quite a few books this summer so I thought it would be the perfect welcome back bulletin board for the 2010/2011 school.
I found the book covers on Google.com –
Using my Shelfari account I was able to find out what books my librarian had also read since June –
Costco has great prices on professional glossy ink jet photo paper – plus I found an unopened package at a garage sale.
This time I covered the board with brown paper….why? Well, we are almost out of black construction paper and we have NO budget! Also, brown paper offsets how cute the little kitten in the center of the board is. She's our newest family member.
I put the photos around that ugly metal frame – added our rare plastic push-pin lettering and viola!
Hope you have a wonderful school year and that you are able to share the love of reading with your students!
