Painting a stencil design on pillows is easy, fast and a cost-effective way to change the look of a room. You don't need DIY experience to complete these beautiful, hand-painted pillows.

Our Paint-A-Pillow stencil kit contains everything you need to quickly create your perfect designer pillow: Just add paint!
• Reusable stencil chosen from our huge pattern collection
• 17"x17" 100% cotton pillow cover stitched in USA with YKK hidden zipper

With a Paint-A-Pillow kit your color choices are not limited - you can pick any colors you want and even mix your own custom hues.
Your creativity doesn't have to end with the stenciling! We offer exciting accessorizing options to make your pillow even more personalized and more "you". You can add studs, tassels, crystals and various embellishments to your custom pillow for extra dimension and pizzaz. Or try adding some hand-drawn touches and details with textile markers.
Most Paint-A-Pillow kits do not require the use of spray adhesive, however for more detailed designs or crisp geometric patterns you might want to consider lightly misting your stencil with spray adhesive prior to stenciling. Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before placing it onto a stenciling frame.
You can also perk up your deck and patio with these DIY designer pillows! You can use them indoors and outdoors by applying a protective mist of waterproofing spray. Create a vibrant seating area for your guests in your backyard by bringing your style outdoors.
You'll find that designing your own throw pillows is a fun and exciting craft, a perfect thing to do with friends, kids and family! It is incredibly rewarding and not time consuming at all. Consider having a fun craft pillow party with your girlfriends, or a painting extravaganza with your kids. The pillows you create and our Paint-A Pillow kit make great gifts for friends and family.

The Red Arrows were forced to pull out of Portrush Air Waves yesterday due to poor weather, but that did not deter thousands of die-hard fans who flocked to see the day's spectacles.
Organisers said the decision to cancel the display was taken because of the weather conditions and given aviation regulations the famous aerobatic team could not perform.
However, the squadron – the star attraction at the annual event – put on a stunning display on Saturday as up to 200,000 visitors descended on the north coast amid spells of beautiful sunshine to witness the largest air show on the island of Ireland.
As well as a display by the showcase Red Arrows, spectators were treated to the Battle of Britain Memorial trio of a Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane.
Highlights on both days included the immense and noisy Typhoon jet performing with incredible agility, the spectacular routines of the Muscle Bi-plane and the breathtaking aerial gymnastics of the Wildcat Aerobatics.
Yesterday's air show drew to a poignant close with a Royal British Legion Poppy Drop by the Huey helicopter, which showered spectators with a cloud of fluttering poppies.

The Bloomberg administration and the Legal Aid Society yesterday concluded a quarter-century of litigation that had held the city hostage to social activism dressed up in judicial writs.
At last, City Hall is free to make homeless policy as it sees fit. No longer is it required to hew to the whims of advocate-judge Helen Freedman – who was recently elevated by Gov. Paterson to the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court.
Freedman seized control of local homeless policy in 1983, refusing to relinquish it through the tenure of four mayors – Ed Koch, David Dinkins, Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg – despite a total lack of evidence of municipal bad faith.
Giuliani and Bloomberg made incremental progress toward restoring a measure of common sense to city policy – but, in the end, Freedman and a trusty sidekick, Steven Banks of the Legal Aid Society, held tight to their oversight.
Even after a Special Master panel (which Freedman herself had appointed) recommended in 2005 an end to litigation, the judge and Banks refused to let go.
Then, six weeks ago, Freedman went from the Supreme Court trial bench to the appeals court.
Presto! Absent its personal judge, Legal Aid moved to a settlement.
And make no mistake, this is a big win for the city – which will continue finding full-time shelter for homeless families, while scrupulously enforcing eligibility requirements.
But, most significantly, homeless policy for the city of New York will be the sole responsibility of the elected officials of the city of New York.
Legal Aid can still sue over homeless policy – but new cases will be heard by a different judge.
It's too bad Judge Freedman is still on the bench, free to indulge her activist impulses. But at least City Hall finally catches a break. Thank goodness.

I'll be the first person to tell you that science is neither my strength nor my passion. However, I am quite intrigued by theology, and it seems science is all the rage on some of my favorite blogs right now. It's not so much the science itself, but the interaction between and mutual compatibility of faith and science. I don't really have anything to add to what has been said, but just thought there was enough chatter to bring the links together in one spot:

Google Maps Envelopes
Via Incredible Things:
Genius idea! Instead of sending out your snail mail in a boring old white envelope, print out the Google Map onto the envelope showing where it's coming from and going to. So maybe it's just a concept from Rahul Mahtani & Yofred Moik from the Industrial Design program at Syracuse University, but it's genius.

Barkerville Brewing's Wandering Camel IPA is Now in Cans
Barkerville Brewing's Wandering Camel IPA is Now in Cans
Barkerville Brewing Co. is pleased to announce that its Wandering Camel IPA is now available in 473 mL (16 oz) tall cans.
Wandering Camel is an India Pale Ale that finishes dry, with an ever so slight malt influence. An unfiltered IPA, it boasts a unique hop profile with tropical notes of lychee, citrus, and evergreen, at 6.5% alc./vol. and 48 IBU. Wandering Camel joins Mucho Oro Lager in the Barkerville Brewing lineup of beers now available in cans.
"We listened to our customers' feedback and purchased a canning line so we could satisfy the local demand for our beers in a can format at a competitive price," explains John Fitterer, VP of Sales & Marketing for Barkerville Brewing. "Not only is beer less expensive from a can, but we believe it remains fresh for a longer period of time and simply tastes better compared to a bottle."
Look for cans of Wandering Camel IPA in select private liquor stores throughout BC, on tap at finer craft beer houses, and at the brewery in Quesnel.

Paintball Tips
ATTENTION, ATTENTION to 16-18 YEARS OLD, YOU ARE GAME ON!
Hello, boys and girls!
Let's call it quits to your imaginary combats with your X-Box or Play Station trying to be the hero to save the world. Instead, form your own platoon and command your troops and experience a real battle.
With 89 Arena, you can hold an exciting and memorable birthday party, family gathering or even school outing.
*With Terms and Condition Apply
Paintball juniors
We host paintball for juniors at the age of 16-18 years old. Well, with parents' consent of course.
We are excellent venue for special events such as birthday party, family gathering or even school outing of any size. As safety is our main priority, children are monitored and carefully supervised during the paintball session. We held such events before and thus far hold an impeccable safety record.
*Procedure before any battle starts:
- All children under the age of 18 years old have to fill up a registration form and either parent have to sign a consent letter. This is only necessary for those who are participating in the games.
- Next, children will be led by our staff for paintball gears fitting. To ensure safety is not compromise, all children will be carefully inspected.
- Once fitting inspection is complete, they will be given a safety briefing conducted by our professional paintballer. Briefing such as how to arm and disarm the marker and correct way to use it; when to barrel sock on/off; when to wear the mask and what are the game rules. Briefing will only end when all children understand the content of the briefing without any question. During the briefing, we will do a final round of field checking to ensure again safety is met.
- Battle is near and before the children enter the fields, a reminder announcement will be made on MASK ON, BARREL SOCK OFF and MARKER DISARM. Staff will be there in the field checking all players.
- Once this is done and all players are comfortably settled in the field, the games starts with a shout "GAME ON!"
PAINTBALL FAST FACTS and SAFETY RULES:
- Paintball was first played, year 1981 in New Hampshire, USA and now it is getting more and more popular in Asia such as in Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Singapore.
- It is played in team of 5 players or more competing with other teams, eliminating opponents by tagging them with paintballs.
- Minimum age for this game is 16 years old with parent's consent.
- There are NPL, MPOC, ISSC Super Seven, WPPL and other smaller leagues played in Malaysia and the yearly World Cup Asia.
- Paintball require a marker and a mask. Both are two, "No Go" equipment for all paintball games and with strict conditions.
- In the game, the referee is called marshal.
Must know SAFETY RULES:
Similar to many, paintball game requires special equipment with few safety conditions to follow.
Two basic must have equipment:-
*Paintball Marker or better known sometimes as the Paintball Gun
This is what the game is all about; it is the marker that gives you all the fun. A marker must have a hopper/loader mounted on top of it, which store paint in gelatine capsules. If you have to fall victim to these killers, which most probably you will in the games, do not worry much, the paint is safe as it is made of non-toxic substance and is washable.
The marker comes with a sock like cover, which is call "barrel sock" that covers the end of the barrel for players' protection. When paintballer is outside of the battlefield, barrel sock must be on at all times.
*Head Mask or Goggles
This is the utmost important safety gear for any paintballers and a crucial piece of protection compare to the rest of the safety wears in paintball game. It is vital to wear the mask before entering the field where the marshal will shout "MASK ON!"
Other equipment:

I'm so excited to share this easy picket fence coat rack with you! I love quick and easy projects, and even beginners can do this project.
When I made my reclaimed wood potting bench a couple of weeks ago . . .
I had these pieces leftover from cutting the shelf boards. I posted the picture on Facebook, and I got a lot of great comments with ideas of how to use them. If you have some pieces like this, you should hop over and read the ideas.
Several people mentioned a coatrack, and since I'm sort of in a coatrack stage…. that's what I went with.
I trimmed all of the boards to be the same size, cutting off the original holes. I used another reclaimed board fro the bottom cross board. After spreading some Gorilla Wood Glue and placing the board, I drill pilot holes and secured it with screws going from the back to the front so they wouldn't be visible.
I used my adjustable combination square to get each of the boards placed correctly.
For the top board, I spread some more Gorilla Wood Glue on each of the pickets . . .
. . . then I carefully flipped the piece so that it was right-side-up on the top cross board and popped a nail in each picket to hold it in place.
Then I turned it over and secured all of the pickets by drilling pilot holes and secured them all with screws.
I hung it on the fence to make sure it was coming along as planned. The white spots are where I forgot to wipe off the wood glue.
Apparently I was having so much fun whitewashing and adding these hooks from D. Lawless Hardware, that I forgot to take any pictures. Would you believe I actually did plan something for a change? When I was figuring out how many pickets to use, I knew I wanted to use 4 hooks, and use every other board, so this layout was intentional. (rare occasion for me)
Although I do receive some items from the fine folks at D. Lawless, I purchase these hooks and others by the dozens. I seriously can't stop making coatracks!
I love how this coatrack turned out. It was a nice fill-in project while I was waiting for paint and spackle to dry.
I still have a few pickets left, and there were some other great ideas on facebook—stay tuned for more easy reclaimed wood projects.

This latest A-Rod Thing comes to us via the New York Post, which reports that A-Rod brought girlfriend Torrie Wilson and niece Michelle Silva to a Manhattan boutique last month, gave them free rein of his black AmEx card, and "joked around with the saleswomen while the girls shopped," according to a store rep. Silva, 20, is said to have rung up most of the charges, which came to $17,604. More from the Post:
But when Silva got home, we're told her mom became concerned that her wealthy brother had spoiled her daughter with expensive goods, and told Silva to return the clothes.
Rodriguez's people then called the store repeatedly asking to return the clothes, but were informed Blue & Cream doesn't issue refunds, only store credit, a rep for the boutique told us.
That's when Silva sent the store an email, warning that Uncle A-Rod would take "further measures" if the store refused to issue the refund. To which the Post adds:
This weekend, Blue & Cream was notified that Rodriguez is disputing the charges. "It's ridiculous. Completely ridiculous," said a store rep. "We have security tapes and coverage of him at the checkout counter. We're completely not in the wrong."
A-Rod has buyer's remorse? Why, he's Just Like Us!

Lung cancer rates have soared among women over the past four decades, but are now declining among men, new figures show.
In the last 40 years, rates of the disease among women across the UK have risen by a staggering 78%, Cancer Research UK has warned.
While the proportion of women who are diagnosed with the disease has rocketed, lung cancer rates have fallen by nearly half (47%) among men during the same period, the charity said.
The incidence figures, published today, could be explained by changes in smoking habits between men and women, according to a charity spokesman.
The proportion of men who smoke has been declining since the 1950s but for women this didn't happen until the 1970s, he said.
Rates of lung cancer among women now stand at 41 women in every 100,000, up from 23 per 100,000 in 1975. For men, the lung cancer rate is now 59 per 100,000, down from 112 per 100,000 in 1975.
The charity said that more must be done to raise awareness of the symptoms of the disease, and efforts must continue to reduce smoking rates.
"We need to improve awareness of the possible signs and symptoms of lung cancer"
Sara Hiom
"We need to improve awareness of the possible signs and symptoms of lung cancer and urge people − especially those at increased risk − to go to their doctor without delay if they spot any symptoms," said Cancer Research UK's director of early diagnosis Sara Hiom.
"We know that if people go to their GP as soon as they're aware of symptoms it can make all the difference and save lives. Look out for feeling more breathless than usual or for much of the time, a cough that has lasted longer than three weeks, an existing cough that has changed or got worse or coughing up blood.
"If you notice any of these or have worries about unusual changes, make an appointment to see your doctor."
Cancer Research UK said lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the UK but is the biggest "cancer killer".
In 2011 there were 43,500 cases of the disease across the UK. In the same year 35,200 deaths were attributed to lung cancer.
A charity spokesman added that "relatively few" people survive the disease and there are "several hurdles" to be overcome to improve the outlook for patients.
Because of the disease's link with tobacco − 87% of lung cancer cases are attributable to smoking − there is a perception that the disease is "self-inflicted", he said.
More must be done to address the attitude that lung cancer is an "unsolvable problem" for research and society, the spokesman said.
"The attitude that a lung cancer diagnosis is a death sentence must change"
Harpal Kumar
Dr Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK's chief executive, said: "These figures provide a stark reminder that lung cancer remains one of the biggest challenges in cancer research.
"The disease kills more than twice as many people as the second most common cancer killer − bowel cancer − and this looks set to continue unless we all do more. The attitude that a lung cancer diagnosis is a death sentence must change."

"Partnering with Sbarro Pizzerias at mall-based locations is a natural fit considering their family-friendly dining environment and convenient locations across the U.S."

Iraq Veteran on a Mission to restore Vietnam Memorial Fountain
Michael Focke spends his days connecting fellow veterans to transition services in Kansas City. As a Marine, who served in Iraq, Focke knows firsthand what veterans face when they come home. But he says that his generation of service members owes a lot of benefits and programs they utilize to Vietnam veterans.
"If it wasn't for Vietnam veterans, Iraq veterans wouldn't have the care at the VA that they have now today," Focke said. "Vietnam veterans paved the way for the rest of the generation that is today."
One day after talking with local Vietnam veterans he decided to visit the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Fountain, where a monument bears the names of 385 service members from seven metro-area counties who were killed or missing in action during the Vietnam War. He was disheartened to find the site littered with trash and the fountain in need of major repairs. Focke has organized multiple community clean-up events and even created a GoFundMe site to raise the money necessary to repair the fountain, which was dedicated 30 years ago this September.

I grew up watching Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls win six championships. I grew up watching Michael Jordan go Six for six in the NBA Finals. These factors may be part of the reason why I have never been a fan of LeBron James, could also be that he has never won anything on his own and he is the supposed face of the NBA.
I was watching Sportscenter the other night when I saw this clip of James being asked about the Northern Iowa collapse in the NCAA Tournament. His answer was terrible. He basically said that the Northern Iowa players should quit basketball. Reminded me how he quit on Cleveland to go get his titles.
Here is a clip of what he said. You be the judge, me personally, as the supposed face of the NBA, you can't say what he said, even if you are joking..

Judge resigns after judicial ethics opinion
An associate judge has resigned her post of 16 years after Wednesday's release of an opinion by the Committee on Judicial Ethics.
The opinion titled "Practice of Law by Part-time Judge" states a family law jurist cannot also practice family law as an attorney in the same county or in surrounding counties that use the same appeals courts.
Suzanne Schwab Radcliffe was appointed as an associate judge in 1997 to hear child abuse cases and earned $38,000 annually with no benefits.
"I was working for 16 years under a signed agreement by all the judges who heard family law cases, allowing my private cases to be transferred to their courts to avoid the appearance of impropriety," Radcliffe said. "In all the years, I only had two attorneys complain, and I immediately withdrew from those cases. It is because of the new opinion that I am resigning immediately."
Commissioners likely to vote on contract
Galveston County Judge Mark Henry said county commissioners would likely vote to end Radcliffe's contract during a specially called Monday meeting and then reauthorize a contract for another appointed judge.
Family Court Judge Janis L. Yarbrough of Galveston's 306th District Court said her predecessor, Judge Susan P. Baker, appointed Radcliffe after receiving a grant to pay a part-time judge to hear cases involving Child Protective Services.
"They agreed other county courts would transfer their CPS cases to county court 1 and county court 2," Yarbrough said. "county court 3 had not yet been created."
The commission continued the contract after the grant expired, Yarbrough said.
Dupuy requested opinion
Judge Christopher Dupuy of Galveston's County Court at Law No. 3 said he requested the opinion in the fall. Dupuy held Radcliffe in contempt in November, claiming there was a conflict of interest in her dual role as a family law attorney and judge. Dupuy ordered Radcliffe disqualified from a divorce proceeding in his court and held her in contempt, but the contempt order was reversed on appeal.
Dupuy said he single-handedly spearheaded a drive to remove cronyism and friendship from the county's judicial decisions.
The statewide ethics opinion made public Wednesday was the first one issued since 2009.
"In essence, what has been transpiring for more than a decade in Galveston County has been unethical," Dupuy said.
When questioned by other lawyers in the past about the matter, Yarbrough told them to ask for an opinion, a mandamus or seek an appeal, she said. Family law attorney Greg Enos, who has practiced for 27 years, raised the issue last summer, Yarbrough said.
"I have been the lone wolf in the wilderness arguing for years with Yarbrough about this," Enos said. "They should have done this a long time ago."
Opinion a surprise
Radcliffe called the committee's opinion a surprise. She had one raise in 16 years and had no choice but to continue her law practice, she said.
"I find it questionable that I have practiced in front of Dupuy for two years before he suddenly had a problem with this," Radcliffe said.
Radcliffe also said she was saddened that she would have to resign because she did the job not for pay but because she was passionate about helping children.
"There is a reason why the Texas Commission for Children advocate for specialized abuse and neglect courts with judges who are experienced in the area," Radcliffe said.

Wash and roast your beets at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours-depending on the size of the beets. Smaller or baby beets will take much less time. You can roast the beets in a coverd dish or just wrap them tightly with foil. When the beets have cooled, peel and slice them.
Orange, Sage and Buttermilk Dressing
Zest and juice of one orange
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
1 cup of mayonaise
1 cup of buttermilk
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend, let sit, refrigerated, a couple of hours before using.
To serve, arrange some greens on your plate, I used some fresh spinach, place the sliced beets on the greens, add a couple of orange segments and dress with the buttermilk dressing. Fresh chives are a nice garnish

Kylie Jenner to Be the New Puma Face?
The idea of a seven-figure contract is absolutely insane. This is why the position of 18-year-old Kylie Jenner is so astounding, especially for those of us not in the exotic sphere of stardom. Jenner has been releasing lip kits, which have been well received in the market, and released three new liquids, which sold out within its first two hours last Friday. That's not a bad way to kick off the weekend, if you ask me. Then, on Monday, Kylie and Kendall Jenner celebrated the beginning of their joint clothing label by throwing a New York Fashion Week party. Finally, later that same evening Us Weekly reported that Kylie Jenner signed on for a seven-figure contract as the new face for Puma.
Through her Instagram platform, Jenner has been able to use her 50.7 million followers to promote various products and brands, and has also had her fair share of camera and runway time, much like her sisters. So this is just adding right into the mixture, alongside her personal business endeavors with her line through Bellami Hair and as brand ambassador for Nip + Fab. As for her connection to Puma, the star has been notably photographed on the streets rocking Puma's athletic clothing. With how well she pulls off the pieces, there's no wonder she was able to pull in such a substantial amount of money.
But this announcement has led to some issues on the home front. Brother-in-law Kanye West had a lot to say about the deal with Puma on his Twitter feed, as his Yeezy label has a collaboration with rival athletic brand Adidas.
"1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That's on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!" The rapper posted this message Tuesday evening, which was followed within the hour by another response of, "Puma we gone give you your measly million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!"
Regardless of any rivalry between affiliated brands, the Kardashian/Jenner clan has dealt with its fair share of drama, so this will pass soon. West is generally recognized for having some dramatic rants, but this one at least seems grounded within reason. Although with Jenner's clear interest in the brand's apparel and her rising stardom within the industry, Puma would have to have been blind to not realize the potential with having Jenner on their side.
The brand seems to be drawing a lot of talent from celebrities, with Rihanna named as creative direction back in December. This singer's first show with the brand will debut this Friday night. So even though she and the Jenner/Kardashian family have never had much interaction, it'll be interesting to see how things initially play out between the two. Jenner is proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry, and with this new contract there appears to be no slowing down, either. She's definitely a star to keep your eyes on in the industry.

How Solar Panels increase your homes value
Posted February 5th, 2018
Would you pay $20,000 for a solar system if you knew it would add $20,000 to the home's value immediately? That's what a solar salesman told one of my real estate friend's clients. Is that legit though? What advice would you give someone talking to this salesman? This is a timely scenario, so I wanted to share my friend's question and my response.
Real Estate Friend: I have a client that wants to add solar to his late 1980's house and was quoted a price of $20,000. The solar salesman told my client that it would add value dollar for dollar but I have my doubts, what do you think?
My Thoughts: Where is this "salesman" getting "dollar for dollar" from? Is he an expert or could he prove this value actually? Would the system add $20,000 in value regardless of the neighborhood, state, or price range? What if the system cost $60,000 or $80,000? Would that add dollar for dollar value as well? It's a great sales pitch, but achieving dollar for dollar value is not something that happens in every case. A complete kitchen remodel, for example, could cost $50,000 but that doesn't necessarily mean it will add $50,000 value to the home.
When it comes to solar, there will be value recognized over the long term as savings build due to the decreased cost of energy. This doesn't mean that adding solar to a home can't bring forth a dollar for dollar increase, but it is skeptical about this salesman's claim.
Appraisers and the real estate community have to consider what buyers are actually presently willing to pay for the system and solar installations are still a fairly new field with little data to support or contradict his claim. Appraisers have to ask questions like "What kind of savings will the owner see from solar?" and "What sort of price difference is there?".

Over at Evolving Th0ughts, historian of science John Wilkins has an excellent series on the uses and abuses of metaphors in biology.
Perhaps the most familiar to readers these days of course are discussions about genes as language, and genes as information.
From a purely introductory perspective, such metaphors can serve an educational purpose, Wilkins writes in part 1, but buyer beware:
A metaphor can systematically mislead us. It can mislead members of the general population who think that the Higgs boson really is the "god particle" or that the Big Bang really was an explosion. This might be unavoidable if we don't teach the facts early enough; and it may be harmless. But consider some other metaphors: we "stimulate" the immune system with this or that drug or vitamin. This dysmetaphor, so to speak, causes people to spend literally billions of dollars on useless vitamin supplements or to avoid vaccination so their kids are "stimulated" by actually contracting measles, which can kill.
But Wilkins is just getting warmed up. Another familiar mistake, he writes (part 2), is trying to define human essence in terms of genes as well.
This is a fundamental mistake. DNA does contribute to some of my traits, and it may even contribute to how I develop my personality over time. But it is not my "essence". The reason I quote mark "essence" is that it is a vague and largely meaningless term. In philosophy it means the properties that make some individual thing what it is: humans, for example, were held to be rational animals, which meant that they had an essential nature that was rational, along with the essential natures of animals (sensitivity to the environment, ability to move), along with the essential natures of all living things (ability to eat and grow, ability to reproduce).
While DNA is crucial to how organisms develop and mature, he adds, it is not their "essence".
"DNA in a test tube will slowly denature (lose its structure and breakdown into its components, called monomers). DNA in an organism that lacks the right conditions (egg, maternal environment, atmosphere) will not enable that organism to continue."
Equally misleading is the tendency to draw a one-to-one correspondence between any one gene and a single trait.
Non-biologists will often talk about "the" function of a gene or other body part, but in fact parts of organisms, including genes, will always have many different roles in the normal function of an organism, and claims that "the" function is X are usually based upon what happens when a gene goes wrong. Delete or impair that gene, and language won't develop. These are called "knockout studies", because geneticists often remove the gene (knock them out of the organism being studied) to see what effects this has on the physiology of the organism.
What about genetic determinism, another folk philosophy that holds our fates are decided in advance by our codons?
This fares no better in Wilkins' view. Biology isn't your destiny, although it is an influence. "Genetic conditions do not force behaviors, but they make some behaviors more likely to develop."
In the U.S., an entire creationist cottage industry sells God as the engineer behind the 'code' of our genes, a code built out of new 'information' that can't be explained by purely natural processes.
The appeal of the language and information metaphors to creationists is obvious, Wilkins writes (in part 4)
One advantage, shared also in calling genes information, is that it sets up a "problem" that can be "solved" by divine action or intention. For example, one of the main kinds of advocates for genes as linguistic things is the intelligent design movement. If genes are meaningful, or the result of some intent, then that implies that one needs to have a deity (or something very like it) to give that meaning. If genes are not informational or linguistic things, though, but at best only something that can be analogised to language, then that "solution" is no solution at all.
Wilkins is an Honorary Research Fellow at The University of Melbourne in Australia, and a Research Scholar at the Ronin Institute in Montclair, New Jersey. He is also the author of Species: A History of the Idea, a must-have, in my opinion, for anyone interested in the history of biology, especially the history of biology before Darwin.

Smart Metro Municipal Revenue Enhancement
It is the right and responsibility of every Municipality in South Africa to correctly bill and collect payment for the services they provide to their people. Unfortunately, many Municipalities struggle to achieve this which results in insufficient revenue, an ever increasing gap between income and the cost to provide the services, and ultimately poor service delivery. A vicious cycle with dire consequences.
Smart Metro's land-based Revenue Enhancement Program will ensure that firstly your Municipality is accounting for and billing every billable land parcel in your jurisdiction, and secondly that every one of these land parcels is being billed correctly based on recorded consumptions and valuations, property category, Municipal tariffs and policies and various other influencing factors. Resulting in enhanced revenue, increased collections, and improved Auditor General compliance.
Our no-cure, no-pay model means that the Smart Metro Revenue Enhancement Program does not negatively impact on a Municipality's expenditure. We only participate in the additional revenue we have identified once it has been banked by the Municipality.

Ebony & Ivory
Let me start out by saying that I in no way support the idea of children. I think they're messy, they spread germs, and are expensive. However, that being said, how cool is this?! I always imagined that if I finally broke down and had kids I'd want one white one and one black one. But I'd adopt them. My hoo-ha is strictly an entrance only. Plus, I have a fear of gaining baby weight. But really, isn't this one of the most awesome things you've seen?

Indianapolis (March 5, 2015) – Indiana's Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning (OECOSL) is now accepting applications from families in the five pilot counties who may be eligible for grants for their children to receive high-quality, prekindergarten education through the On My Way Pre-K program starting in August of 2015.
- The family must have an income below 127 percent of the federal poverty level.
- The child must be 4 years old by August 1, 2015, and starting kindergarten in August 2016.
In Marion County, the same criteria apply as those listed above. However, the City of Indianapolis is providing additional funding in Marion County through its Indy Preschool Scholarship Program (Indy PSP). And while families can apply to Indy PSP and On My Way Pre-K using a single application, the Indy PSP funding will add eligibility in Marion County for children who are three years old and are from families living at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.
It is important to note that first priority will be given to children from families living at or below 127 percent of the Federal Poverty Level for On My Way Pre-K.
Once a child has received a grant, families in all five counties will choose from any of the eligible, enrolled On My Way Pre-K programs. OECOSL has already enrolled 128 On My Way Pre-K providers in the five pilot counties, and the application process is ongoing. In order to qualify, the program must be top-ranked at level 3 or level 4 on Paths to QUALITY or be accredited by an approved national or regional accrediting body (Click here for details on provider eligibility).
Applications will be accepted until April 30, 2015. If more families qualify than there are grants available, awards will be made through a randomized lottery process. This lottery will be held on or around May 4, 2015, and families will be notified if they receive a grant.
Approved pre-K programs may be located in a public or private school, licensed child care center, licensed home or registered ministry as long as that program meets the quality requirements and is registered as an On My Way Pre-K Provider. Families may choose from a program that is full-day or part-day, as well as from programs that end with the school year or continue through the summer. A list of approved pre-K providers can be found here. Families who need help finding an approved pre-K program can also call 1-800-299-1627 for assistance from an early learning referral specialist.

More than 400 children who will begin kindergarten in August of 2015 are currently participating in the first phase of On My Way Pre-K, which began in Allen, Lake, Marion and Vanderburgh counties in January of this year.
On My Way Pre-K is the name of Indiana's first state-funded prekindergarten program, which was approved as a five-county pilot by the Indiana General Assembly in 2014. In addition to Allen, Lake, Marion and Vanderburgh Counties, which are making a limited program available for about 400 children beginning in January, Jackson County will join the others and be fully-operational by the fall of 2015. The pilot program is expected to ultimately serve more than 2,000 students in the five counties. For more information, visit www.onmywayprek.org.
The Indy Preschool Scholarship Program (Indy PSP) is the City of Indianapolis's first ever preschool program that provides free scholarships for children from low-income families to attend quality preschools. Indy PSP is partnering with On My Way Pre-K to expand access to preschool for families in Marion County. The United Way of Central Indiana will provide program administration support by managing the application, outreach, and evaluation processes. Visit www.indypsp.org for more information.
The Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning is a division of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA).

Hi Drina,
If you were sent an Advanced Modem Replacement, then you have to return the old/original NBN modem sent to you or else you will be charged for the cost of the modem.
Hi Drina,
Did you encounter any problem when your NBN service was installed? Did you contact our technical department for assistance? How was the issue resolved?

I'm so glad you took the lace and laser-cut out of "hoarding" because they are beautiful and need to be shared! Perfect combination for this project and the Peace medallion looks so 3-D. I've got to get back into the swing of things... I slept for most of 2 days after the wedding, then popped my lower back and have been gimping around like and old lady for the past 3 days. Ugh! And here it is a week out from the wedding already! Thanks for always being such an inspiration!ReplyDelete
How lovely to see that beautiful lace out of hoarding! Such a beautiful card Donna. Thanks so much for sharing at Bah Humbug, sorry I'm a little late visiting xReplyDelete
Beautifully done! Your choice of color with the lace is stunning!ReplyDelete
This is wonderful! I love how the lace plays in so well with the lace look of the focal image and the sentiment. This is a wonderful Christmas card. Gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge!ReplyDelete

Title: Intruder(1989)
Director: Scott Spiegel
Writers: Lawrence Bender (story), Scott Spiegel
Starring: Elizabeth Cox|Renée Estevez|Dan Hicks|Bruce Campbell|Sam Raimi
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Rated: R Length: 83mins.
Welcome to Walnut Lake Market
Employees are closing up and restocking, preparing for a 'going out of business' sale, end up fighting for their lives as a killer is on the loose with murder in mind.
Image Credit: lifebetweenframes.blogspot.com
It is a standard plot but boy does it deliver with the thrills,kills, and mystery. Even though Bruce Campbell is billed as the top star, he only makes a brief appearance. Some are upset by this, but it doesn't bother me much. Mr. Raimi also has a few appearances in the film. These cameos were a nice touch but don't watch the movie expecting Bruce Campbell to get 'Groovy' on camera.

My only gripe with the film has to do with the female lead. Elizabeth Cox just didn't do it for me as the leading lady and would have preferred Renée Estevez (Is she kin to Emilio?) as the lead.
Campbell,Raimi,and Plenty of Kills!

"Intruder" is the epitome of the slasher genre. It is fun with some great kills and great practical effects.
You can tell that Sam Raimi's style had an impact on Director Spiegel. I loved some of the shots from all the different perspectives, but my favorite would have to be the shot from within the rotary phone.
