The bright and cheerful colors of Southern Blooms partnered with the sweet butterflies and florals transports us right to the South on a perfect Spring day. Designed by Kathy Engle for Ebony Love of LoveBug Studios, Southern Blooms is an ecletic mix of blues, greens, pinks, purples, reds, yellows, and oranges. It's true visual delight, brought to life by Ebony's spectacular patterns.
As with her first collection, Sakura, Ebony has developed a 'passport' program for her A Garden for All Seasons BOM. The program runs for 8 months and includes traditional piecing patterns. The passport is there to guide participants through the tour of the quilts in the collection as they work on the block of the month project. Passports can be obtained through local quilt shops, and every time a BOM block or quilt is completed, participants get a passport stamp. Such fun!!
Ebony curated a gorgeous collection of 12 Large spools of 50wt thread — the box is a soft rainbow of color, perfect for projects featuring the Southern Bloom fabrics, but also as a wonderful stash builder!
Southern Blooms
12 Large Spools, 50wt (1422yds/spool), 100% Aurifil Cotton
1133 – 1148 – 1243 – 2145 – 2220 – 2510
2730 – 2805 – 2886 – 4030 – 4129 – 5002

What first drew you to the world of sewing and quilting?
One of my earliest memories of sewing is during a home economics class. We got to choose our own pattern, and I decided to make a giant dinosaur. He took a LOT of fiberfill! It's funny to think back on it now; it's the earliest sign of me taking on ambitious sewing projects!
Who or what has been your greatest creative inspiration?
Math and symmetry continues to inspire me every day. I studied engineering in college and I think I look for ways to apply that knowledge to my quilting wherever I can.
Tell us about Southern Blooms. What inspired the designs?
When I worked with Sakura last year, I had this larger vision of using the fabric collections to explore places around our planet, so I immediately knew that I'd be exploring someplace new with this collection. Of course, when you see the giant bluebonnet flowers that center this collection, I knew that Texas and the southern states would form the story for this collection.
Do you have a favorite project or projects made with the collection?
I think the BOM, A Garden for All Seasons, is my favorite this time around. It's actually the result of some pretty severe editing, after a couple of the blocks were particularly troublesome. I was sitting there with my seam ripper, thinking, "Who is ever going to want to make this quilt?" and I started redesigning right then. It caused my entire collection to be late, but it resulted in a MUCH better quilt and I think a more fun project.
When did you first discover Aurifil threads and what do you love most about them?
There's something about Aurifil threads that just makes me feel like my projects are stepped up a notch. Ever since I've been using these threads in my piecing and quilting, I know that my piecing is more accurate and I have less trouble. I love my 50wt full-collection suitcase; it means I always have the right color for every project at my fingertips.
How did you go about selecting colors for Southern Blooms and what excites you most about releasing the collection to the world?
This collection was a little trickier than my last collection. With 30 fabrics, I had to really look at threads that would work for more than one fabric. I took swatches of each fabric and separated them into color groups, and then chose threads that complimented each group well. I think if you look at the threads against the fabric, you can really see the colors that dominate. It's also very different from what I would naturally choose.

The Various Crises That Faced the United States at the End of the Civil War in 1865.
Dr. Pruitt
Outlawing Satan's Drink: The Prohibition Experiment
In United States, "Getting drunk, plastered, loaded, tanked, sloshed, smashed, stewed and stoned is an old American tradition." But "dry" and "wet" Americans have differ on whether prohibition. There are something deeper than "dry" and "wet", but rather the "pursuit of happiness" versus religious pursuit of righteousness.(Carlson 143-149)
In 1620, the first booze came to America was on the Mayflower. Then on the ship, people carried more beer than water.(143) The Puritans on the ship didn't oppose drinking, they just opposed drinking too much. The famed Puritan preacher Increase Mather wrote that "Drink is in itself a good Creature of God, and to be received with thankfulness, but the abuse of drink is from satan."(144) Not only Puritans, America's native-born also like drinking.(145) "In the early 1800s, Americans drank more booze than at any time before or since-more than five gallons of pure alcohol per person per year," and W.J. Rorabaugh even described the Americans' daily drinking in his classic 1979 book, The Alcoholic Republic.(145) With Americans moved west, "the first sign of civilization in many new towns was a saloon or several saloons." People drinking in the saloon also enjoy cultural offerings by the saloons.(145) Booze also have a big effect to American pharmacy, because wine in many pharmaceutical formulations, and people "was siad to have steadied the nerves of Union soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg."(145) Without these, booze also have a big effect to American culture, because much of America's greatest literature, best art, Jazz, classical music, they are hard drinkers.(148) However in United States,"dry" Americans, the prohibitionists believed that "saloon were the world's prime sources of evil".(145) There are two famous groups of prohibition in American history, the Prohibition Party and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

We all have a 9/11 story. We each remember where we were, who told us, our first reaction, and then how we spent the day. I was in my freshman year of college running late to my first class, Intro to Mass Comm. I bolted down the hill I lived on and ran into Professor Cobbey's class, as she was taking roll. She mentioned that a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers, but at that time we didn't know that it fell or that the second one was hit, or the Pentagon or anything else. We tried to get on The New York Times website but it kept crashing. I don't remember what we talked about during that class period, I just remember thinking to myself, "is my family ok?" I remember singing my mother's favorite hymn, It Is Well with My Soul. (I tend to sing that song now when I'm scared.) I remember the whole floor of girls cramming into the lounge watching the news as events unfolded and I remember falling asleep scared of what was going to happen the next day.
But this is not a post on the sadness of that day, it is a reminder that the greatest things in life are clinging to the ones that you love the most and realizing that the littlest things are not worth the biggest battles.
On Saturday, September 8th, I met up with my friend Angela for the day. It was my first weekend away from home at college and Angela lived not too far from downtown Boston. She had asked me what I wanted to do and I told her straight off the bat that I wanted to get my nose pierce. Now, for all you moms out there who are freaking out at the idea of your son or daughter getting a piercing, I had warned my mother for months. I had told her every week that it was something that I wanted and I was going to get one once I was in college. She hated the idea and would tell me, "if you get your nose pierced you are not welcomed anymore". My mom was an old-school Colombian mom, you were expected to do what you were told until you were married. Plus, she saw piercings, tattoos and even converse sneakers as signs of rebellion. You can say she was a little conservative.
Anyways, Angela and I headed down into the city. We put my name on a wait list, went out to dinner, got called and got the deed done (which hurt like hell) and then headed back to her place since I was still in a lot of pain and recovering from losing a lot of blood (true story). We hung out the next morning, had brunch and she took me back to my campus so I could get ready for the week ahead. My roommates loved it, my friends liked it and overall I was pretty excited that I had gotten it done. Later on that night, I decided to call my mom and tell her the news. I don't know why I thought she was going to react well, but as you can imagine it went badly.
Badly isn't really the word for it, it was probably the worst couple of hours of my life. My mom hung up on me and told me not to call her, she would call me when she was ready to talk to me. I decided that I didn't like that answer and called her incessantly until she answered. She told me she wasn't going to visit me at school until I got it removed and she didn't want me to come home for a while since she was so angry that I had defied her even when she told me not to do it. I remember her screaming, "how can you do that? It's disgusting." She told me not to talk to her for a few days. I didn't speak to he the next day, September 10th, and then it was September 11th.
After getting out of Cobbey's class I started to call home. The problem was cell phone service was down due to everyone checking in with their loved ones. I didn't get a hold of her until the afternoon and when I did all I said was "I'm sorry and I love you". She said, "I'm sorry too and I love you. I'm safe and you're safe and that's all that matters". We cried about it and later on that week we slowly started patching things over and a few weeks later I saw my mom when she came to the campus.
Once the rest of the family got wind of what I did, I was told that I was rebelling against my mother and I need to get my act together. She later on defended me saying that my action, never impacted my character or my grades, it was something that I wanted and I did for myself. I was actually the opposite of rebelling by telling my mother upfront that I was doing it and that I informed her once it was done. I showed her respect instead of hiding it from her. It was nice to hear her supporting me about it.
Someone once told me that I probably had the happiest story to come out of 9/11 and hearing that made me cringe a little. I think 9/11 really taught my mother and I that the littlest things that we think are awful, are not things that should separate us. What matters the most in this world is that we love our family and friends and we accept them for who they are. That call of panic that I made on 9/11 was out of desperation to make sure that she was ok, I didn't care that my mom didn't want to see me or that she was still mad at me, I just wanted to hear her voice and make sure that she was ok and that she knew how much I loved her. If something had happened to her that day, I didn't want her to know that the last thing I said to her was out of anger and pain. I wanted her to know that I loved her with every fiber in my heart and that she was an amazing mom. The days after the event, we spoke pretty regularly and we became more honest with one another. It's sad to say but 9/11 really brought us closer together.
So on the anniversary, all the emotions run through me again of what I felt that day. I feel the fear, the anger, the tears and the horror. Then I think of my mom as well about how much I loved her and how much she loved me and how important it is to hold your family and friends close to you. My thought & prayers go to the ones that lost their loved ones 11 years ago. I'm sorry and I wish I knew the right words to say to you, please know that I pray you receive peace. We are in dire need of peace these days, within us and with each other. I hope we all find that.

Lily Black is one of a kind… and we are proud to say, and are very lucky, that he is part of the 1:AM family. Lily always has a way of bringing fun and intellect into any situation or conversation. Read our, weird, but entertaining interview with him here: Who is Lily Black?
So, of course, he participated in our anniversary show "Eternal Sleep". He did something out of character though, instead of making his trademark military-customized toys, he presented affordable skull paintings made with watercolors. Let me tell you, these are flying off the walls. People love them. There are a couple left, so come by gallery today and pick up your very own Lily Black skulls!
Lily is also our toy modification teacher (a class that people cannot get enough of). Check out our classes. Maybe get it for someone or yourself for Christmas!
Lily's art available at 1:AM gallery. If you are interested or you know someone who is interested in his canvas, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Eternal Sleep at 1:AM gallery through November 6th!

How can you leverage Serverless in your own Organisation?
With Serverless, the user has the ability to deploy code without provisioning or running servers, with high availability and scalability catered for by the cloud provider. The vision of a serverless architecture is extremely attractive, however it is still a concept that requires maturity both from a cloud provider's point of view, and from third-party tooling vendors within the cloud ecosystem itself.

Missouri Senate Panel Considers Cuts To Reading Programs
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri Senate panel is proposing cuts to reading programs next fiscal year. The panel stripped funding for a supplemental reading program and the Bright Futures Program. Both were aimed at increasing reading among young children. The supplemental program had been allotted $3.5 million for this fiscal year, but Gov. Jay Nixon blocked spending on $2.5 million of that because of lagging revenues.


text: This is a great red tourmaline. It has the color and still has a medium dark tone level that is not too dense to flash and sparkle. This is nice and rare, Between the flash and the medium dark tone level the flaws that are on the pavilion are not visible by my eye. This is helped by the stone nice size of 6.69 carats. At time I wish that I could compare a stone like this with the best that Brazil has produced.

Dogs will be dogs, and most dogs will bark, whine and howl at times; it's only natural. Dogs vocalize to communicate with humans and to express themselves. Sometimes we want our dogs to bark in order to warn us about potential danger or protect us from harm. Other times, the barking is excessive and seems to have no real meaning.
Also, remember to socialize your puppy. Most dogs bark at unfamiliar things that they don't understand or feel may be a threat. If your pup has grown comfortable with a wide range of scenery and sounds, they will feel less of a need to bark as they will be more confident.
It may be time to get some earplugs for these first few sessions, especially if you've let them train you to come when they bark. Completely ignore them and let them bark until they take a break. Then, when they are quiet, treat and reward them or let them out for quiet behavior.
Tony has been dog training (in association with his mother Jan Fennell) since 1999. The Dog Listener book has been translated into over 25 languages. He has been on radio and television on 4 continents and teaches the Amichien Bonding dog training process all over the world in English and French.
If your dog most often barks territorially in your car, teach him to ride in a crate while in the car. Riding in a crate will restrict your dog's view and reduce his motivation to bark. If crating your dog in your car isn't feasible, try having your dog wear a head halter in the car instead. (Important note: For safety reasons, only let your dog wear the halter when you can supervise him.)
It's really normal for dogs to bark. They bark to warn another dog to stay out of their territory, they bark when happy or at play, thy bark when danger seems near, and they bark when they are about to attack or are afraid. Admittedly, too much barking can be annoying, which is why dog owners really have to take a healthy and practical approach when learning how to stop a dog from barking. Waysandhow.
You can manage alarm barking by reducing the dog's exposure to the inciting stimuli. Perhaps you can baby gate him out of the front room, move the sofa away from the windows so he can't jump up and see out, or close drapes.
Before you call the trainer though, based on the situation you are in, there are some pretty simple things that you can try. The fact that the dog barks too loud or too often may be a sign that he wants you to understand something. It is really important that you do all that you can to identify the cause.
Visualize attention-seeking barking and frustration barking like a child having a tantrum; if you give in to the demands you'll soon be a slave to them. Wait for a moment of quiet, or a calm sit, then give your dog attention or fetch his ball. If you're consistent, your dog will soon realize that barking doesn't work to get him what he wants and he'll abandon the strategy.
There are a number of different collars available to stop barking. The most humane is the Husher®, which is a soft elastic loosely fitting muzzle, that stops your dog from opening his mouth to bark, but will allow him to pant, eat and drink. It can be left on while your dog is alone, and can be used as a training aid. If you hear your dog barking, say 'hush' and show him the Husher® and if he does not stop, put the Husher® on.
Because every pup is different, not all the techniques listed above work for every pup — most require an investment of time. If you haven't seen improvement in three to five days using one of the anti-bark techniques, try a different approach.
I love my dogs but I do admit their behaviour problems are extremely frustrating, especially when I myself feel like I can't work with them one at a time because the other doesn't like to be left out. I didn't plan on the third dog (originally was just gonna keep the brothers until they passed on, then start afresh with a 'clean slate') but my sister and mum rescued the pup from someone who wasn't particularly good to him. He came to us really thin and has since filled out nicely, and because I love dogs, rehoming him isn't an option anymore (though my fears of a pup learning the brothers hiccups were realised as he's started becoming more vocal x_x).
If you are not sure what your dog is barking at or if he seems to be barking at everything, keep a bark diary. You may start to see a pattern, for example he barks at 3pm when kids are getting out of school. It might be useful to ask your neighbours to do this also, so you know when he is barking when you are not home. Your neighbours also then know you are attempting to resolve the problem.
Your dog probably has separation anxiety, as you must have noticed by now. When you have time, try training your dog by leaving the house for short periods of time (e.g., 2-4 min) and then gradually increasing the time. Eventually your dog will realize that every time you leave, you will always return.
Dogs bark for various reasons. If you want to modify your dog's barking behavior (either decrease it or increase it) it's helpful to know what kind of barking your dog is doing, how the behavior is being reinforced, and what to do about it.
With the static shock dog collar the mechanism that sits against the dog's throat sends out a static shock that travels down two metal prongs that touch your dog's neck. The static shock in some of these collars begins with a rather small shock which increases in intensity up through a variety of levels as your dog continues his or her nuisance barking. You can personally test the static shock bark collar on your hand prior to using it on your dog if you are worried about the intensity of the shock your dog will receive.
I recently adopted a 5 year old beagle. Sometimes she pulls, but other times she just stops and refuses to move. This dog never plays. ignores the ball, tug rope and toys I have purchased for her. I use the chest harness for her but sometimes she tries to get out of it by backing up. She has succeeded a couple of time. I have tried all the options mentioned in the blog. Some days I can get her to walk nicely but other days she is very obstinate.
Obsessive/Compulsive barking which is identified as excessive barking for no apparent reason or at things that wouldn't bother other dogs. This may be accompanied by other compulsive behaviors such as spinning or jumping.

"Luke the Landscaper" – My Name is Luke Hansford and along with my wife Lana we are the owners of Pink and Green. People often ask why the name Pink and Green? Well before I named the company I realized that 80% of my customer calls were from women who say they want more out of their landscaping company and more color in their yard so my wife came up with the name Pink for flowers and Green for grass. Pink and Green Lawn Care and Landscape is licensed and insured and has been in business for over 7 years. We are a cut above other landscaping companies. Residential and commercial lawn care services have been the driving force behind our growing business.
I am originally from Michigan and my wife is from Brazil (she speaks Portuguese and Spanish). After moving from Michigan 10 years ago we started our life together in Florida where our two children Lola 7 and Luca 5 were born. Pink and Green is not a huge company where you become another number and we're not too small either to where we can't handle all the work. We're the perfect size to give our customers the personal attention they need.

As you hopefully noticed, the volume and coverage on this blog increased during the last months, including Amy and Jen as new talented guest contributors, and overall broader topics. When the blog was originally founded in 2004, it started as a technical destination to educate on broadband video to specifically make Flash Video work – which was in a very early stage at that time, and clearly the underdog compared to the dominant Windows Media and Real Player solutions.
Now it's 2012, and Flash Video has been dominant for years (and remains very relevant). In addition, I've been covering Adobe AIR and Stage3D, and broadened topics to include HTML5, online video to devices, technology trends, design visions, interviews, and much more. The new Overdigital.com represents this new focus, and will continue to cover the existing themes – but with a new branding to remain relevant for many years to come. A big thanks goes to Stiehl/Over for their continued support, excellent logo/branding consulting, and the great new logo design.
Look forward to some exciting fresh content coming soon.

Sorry lovely people its a late one tonight.
Let me tell you about my busy, busy day.
This morning I left for work at 7.30am because I only had to work three and a quarter hours today and as it was a teacher training day I could go in when I wanted and leave after my hours were done.
I realise that I am much luckier than most people because I don't have to worry about childcare, I have the holidays off with my children but I do hate leaving my children on teacher training days because invariably they are always the day before we go back to school and that is the day I want to spend as much time with them as possible. Yeah I know, I'm never satisfied!
At work I was busy, we had air conditioning put into out classroom during the holiday, phew, that room was hot! We also had a new cupboard which we desperately needed so we spent the morning tidying up and putting all the things we have used during the year into folders. And generally getting everything ready for tomorrow.
Once I had finished work I quickly walked home and was met by lots of hugs and kisses (I'm so lucky).
And so the list begins:-
- Made lunch
- Vacuumed downstairs
- Vacuumed upstairs
- Dusted downstairs
- Washed up
- Brought one load of washing in off the line
- Put another load of washing on the line
- Put another load on to wash
- Ironed school clothes for tomorrow
- Cleaned all the shoes
- Cleaned the kitchen
- Washed the floors
- Cleaned the downstairs toilet
- Packed the school bags
- Went to the shop to buy my thirteen year old his fourth pair of school shoes since September (don't get me started on that one)
- Bought salad stuff for quick tea and lunch stuff for this week
- Packed six lunches ready for tomorrow
- Cleaned the kitchen again!
- Bathed and hair washed the three little ones - also scrubbed their teeth
- Finally Homework!
Initiative - good girl. I am proud! She also completed her maths.
Eight year old - Completed his Mathletics, no problem its on the computer so he was quite happy to do that. We had a small melt down when he got one question wrong and refused to accept that he might be wrong and the computer be right until he realised he has confused perimeter and area.
But oh dear the English, he didn't have any until I got to work and my colleague, whose daughter is in the same class, asked how long his English homework had taken. I checked his bag, big surprise no homework. So I contacted my colleague who sent through a copy of the homework.
He had to write a fact sheet about three different cities. Tantrum was about to ensue when I suggested he complete it on the computer, three hours later he is still researching, typing, finding appropriate pictures and graphs to complement what he had written. It turns out to be one of the best pieces of work I have ever seen him write. Oh no I need to get the child a computer!
Then youngest son had the choice to do whatever he wanted about coastal areas, of course he drew a picture of the seaside but I managed to convince him to write a poem to go with his picture and it was incredibly cute.
They will go back to school tomorrow and I can honestly say they all worked very hard on their homework and they should be proud of what they achieved.
Money spent
£28.00 school shoes (again)
£32.00 Food (packed lunch and quick tea food)
I did not go to the supermarket tonight as I had to buy shoes so I did not buy any yellow sticker items today
Walking backwards and forwards to school

Pilot episodes: Great for testing mechanics and new settings
I've used pilot episodes as a GM, been part of them as a player, and have generally liked the way they turned out. The idea is pretty straightforward, and it's a lot like running a convention game for your players. When the GM wants to try out a new system mechanic, or run a different kind of game, they put together a 1-2 session 'episode' with pre-made characters and a self-contained plot.
When it works, everyone is happy. The GM gets to 'field test' whatever shiny new thing they are interested in and the players get a quick introduction to it (and the chance to comment) without putting a whole lot of energy into new character or risking their existing ones.
Here are some things that I've found help make it work:
1) Concrete goals
As the GM, you should have a short list of what you want to accomplish with the pilot episode. Once you have the list, design the adventure around it. If you want to test out your new combat system, make sure the adventure has plenty of opportunities for the PCs to shoot people and blow things up. If you're introducing the PCs to a new game or setting that you're really excited about, pull out all the stops and let them see (and interact with, and use) as much of the awesomeness as you can fit into 6-10 hours of gaming.
The caveat is that although prioritizing is good, the pilot episode will still need to be fun for the players. Some players might be fine with a combat system test that is just a bunch of pre-fab characters and a battle arena with some interesting terrain. But if your players like games with interesting characters and the opportunity to influence the story, you're better off giving them those things even if the story isn't what you put most of your work into. What they think of one part of the game will influence their opinions of the rest, so if they think the premise is silly, they are less likely to get excited about the mechanical innovations.
2) Keep it simple but engaging
While the episode needs to be interesting, it also needs to function with very minimal backstory. Have a <2 sentence pitch for the setting that gives the players an easy handle on things ("You are going to play deniable operators in a war-torn and conspiracy ridden galaxy"). Keep the subplots to a minimum. Minimize the in-game time that needs to be spent on mundane things. You might love having NPCs haggle with your PCs over the price of gear, but now is not the time.
Having said that, if you are introducing a new setting or game, this is a great time to give the players a dramatic view of the main themes or conflicts. If the main game is going to be about a fantasy setting that gets hit by the zombie apocalypse, the pilot episode is a great time to play through the outbreak itself with disposable characters. The pilot also works well as a way to foreshadow the main antagonist - the PCs in the pilot episode could even be working for (or with) the villain.
3) Mid-power PCs
Personally, I'm a fan of letting the players test drive relatively powerful PCs, especially if the pilot uses a new system. It lets them use a bunch of powers or abilities during the episode that beginning PCs are unlikely to have, and gives them one more cool thing to look forward to once they make their actual characters. And as a GM, sometimes its fun to sit back and let your players go to town with really powerful characters, and not have to worry about power creep and finding an even bigger challenge for the next session.
4) Flexible system testing
Given unlimited time, the most accurate way to playtest system modifications would be to make individual changes, and test each one in a carefully controlled experiment before moving one. No one has unlimited time. If you have 10 different modifications you want to try, try as many as you can coherently use in the same episode (obviously, 2 or more orthogonal combat systems can cause problems).
I tend to tweak variables throughout the pilot episode - if cover isn't as effective as I wanted it to be, I talk to the players and increase the amount of protection that cover provides. If PCs are dropping like flies during combat (and this is an undesired result), alter variables as needed to fix it. This is also a good time to get player feedback on the rules. Probably, the new rules will be a little confusing (especially if you are playing Calvinball with them during the episode). A more useful thing to focus on is what players think of the results: Are there too few tactical options? Is combat too deadly? Is the new magic system hideously overpowered? The best case scenario is that one or more of your players can provide constructive feedback over the course of the session to iron out mechanical problems and test alternatives.
5) Go with what works and drop what doesn't
One of the main benefits of a pilot episode is that you can usually get a sense of whether your players like the idea, before you've put too many weekends into building an entire gameworld around it. Maybe running a super-gritty campaign where the PCs are infantry in WW2 sounded like a great idea, but it becomes clear that the players aren't having as much fun rolling dice to recover from trench-foot or watching their characters succumb to dysentery as you thought they would. Or maybe they run with it, and together you all decide to make the game more 'Catch-22' than 'Saving Private Ryan.'
Because at the end of the day, it's all about having fun.

Pictures of Eye Enhancing Makeup
Mixed comments on Eye Enhancing Makeup:
In the celebration, your eyelashes usually are not thick, you might use faux eyelashes. You have to generate phony eyelids, which is for positive, so the eyelid seems considerably more substantial than it in fact is.
As is presently talked about in this guide, emo makeup focuses more on the eyes. You're in a position to flaunt your hair how you desire. I'm not too a great deal of lipstick lady.
