Edna May Oliver gets top billing in MGM's MY DEAR MISS ALDRICH. She plays Aunt Lou, whose niece is school teacher Martha Aldrich (Maureen O'Sullivan). They live in a small town in Nebraska.
Life changes for them when Martha's step-uncle,a newspaper publisher,dies and Martha inherits the Globe-Leader newspaper in New York – of which Kenneth Morley (Walter Pidgeon) is the editor.
Martha and Aunt Lou head for New York , and Martha decides to find out about the newspaper business by working as a reporter. But this newspaper doesn't employ women reporters.
Kenneth's views on women are clear – "Every man who buys the paper is an intelligent, interested citizen."
When Martha asks him if women read the paper, his reply is,
"Certainly they do. We carry more department store advertising than any other papers in town!"
Martha proves herself,getting some scoops and of course Kenneth softens towards her.
Edna May is rather wasted and isn't an integral part of the plot. Aunt Lou's views are more akin to Kenneth's. She says,
"Anyone who doesn't know enough to shut up about womens' rights is never going to get married."
Aunt Lou is always doing crosswords and suggests the newspaper should have a puzzle page.
The supporting cast includes Janet Beecher who impressed as a business woman negotiating to avoid a strike.
I liked the first half of the film, but it rather fizzled out after that. Maybe too long, a complaint I have quite often.

TAR Australia: 'I wanted to run for the hills and find a bear to wrestle'
I was right, wasn't I? This episode wasn't quite the same without Sticky&Sam, although the fact Lucy&Emilia got a lot of screen time certainly made the transition easier. And funnier.
All teams caught the same flight to Vancouver, Canada, where Paul&Steve and The Cops decided to go for the only Fast Forward of the Race. Both teams knew whoever got a cab first will eventually take the Fast Forward. Shane&Andrew have never had any luck with taxis so far, so sadly it was Paul&Steve who got a cab first, completed the Fast Forward (which required them to pose nude) and made it to the Pit Stop in first place. Paul bragged about it and was as unlikable as always – so nothing new there. I guess the only good thing to come out of this is that we didn't have to watch them for the entire episode.
The first challenge the teams faced was to decipher a nautical phrase using the International Maritime Signal Flags. Lucy&Emilia were, of course, hilarious: '<Beam me up, Scotty!> is not a nautical phrase', is what Lucy said at one point. They struggled a bit with the challenge, though not as much as James&Sarah, who had already gotten a rough start to the day.
The Detour (a choice between Tumble and Toss) didn't affect any of the teams' placements with the exception of Shane&Andrew. On that note, I'm really impressed with how far they've come – I never expected them to make it past the midpoint and they've also grown on me over the past few legs. Also worth mentioning about the Detour is the fact it showed yet again what a beautiful relationship Lucy and Emilia have. Lucy was virtually useless at the Detour (she managed to fell in the water after only putting one feet on the log), yet Emilia was nothing but encouraging and positive about it. She didn't seem to be bothered at all. They're amazing!
The Roadblock posed some problems for the Italian sisters and Joseph&Grace, but in the end they didn't matter, as Sarah&James couldn't make up the time lost during the leg or compensate for their lack of money. They arrived at the Pit Stop in last place and were eliminated. I've had mixed feelings about them the entire season. For the most part, I thought Sarah was irrational and crazy and I wasn't impressed by their bickering and fighting. However, there were times when I felt sympathetic towards them or when I thought 'Sarah isn't all that bad…' and this episode was one of them. I actually was a little sad when they were eliminated, but it came down to them and the Italian sisters, so overall I was more than pleased with the outcome. (And I loved their mini speech about how they're going to know each other until they're 85 and all, cause I'm pretty sure I read last week that they've broken up already.)
Now we have a three week wait before the next episode, courtesy of the Summer Olympics. Further proof that sports are bad.
(I'm just joking, of course. Sports are good. Go, sports!)
TAR Australia: Farewell to Sticky&Sam!
Unbelievable. Another one of my grim premonitions turns true as we lose Sticky&Sam on The Amazing Race: Australia. Not only that, but with Lucy&Emilia being the only team from my original three selections still in the Race, I'd say the chances of having someone to truly root for in the Final Three are pretty slim. The preview scenes for next week show Lucy having a breakdown, so I'm open to the devastating possibility of losing my three favorite teams in a row. Which would be terrible.
But back to Sticky&Sam. I'm incredibly sad, disappointed and frustrated. Why did they have to get lost? Why didn't they ask for directions sooner? Why did they have to get lost in Paris? Why couldn't someone else screw up, like Paul&Steve? Now they have the best shot at winning, which would really put a damper on this season. I always thought Sticky&Sam would at least make the Final Four, so I never worried much about them – this makes their elimination a little harder to accept. The remainder of the Race will not be the same without these two, that's a fact.
I could go on for a few paragraphs about how this is unfair, but I don't see the point. Besides, I'm putting that energy to good use: hoping and praying they're brought back in the event of an All-Stars season. I mean… they have to come back, right?
In the meanwhile… go Lucy&Emilia!
P.S. The fact I didn't collect a quote from the episode for the title can mostly be attributed to the anxiety that took over me a few minutes into the show.
TAR Australia: 'The right to continue racing'
Wow. Was that a thrilling episode or what?
In the most bizarre twist of fate, Sticky&Sam managed to fall at the back of the pack, being surpassed by even Sarah&James. Since they left the airport in Cuba after Sarah&James, I'm pretty sure they'll be starting the second half of this Double Leg in last place… They're a strong team and based on past performances the logical thing to assume is that they'll be able to make up the lost time. However, I have a bad feeling about the next episode. They cannot, it simply CANNOT happen that they are eliminated next. Sticky&Sam have to make it to at least the final four, cause if they don't, I'm not sure any of my Ideal Top Three teams will make it to the Top Three. And it would be just sad to lose two teams I love in a row. Fingers crossed neither them, nor Lucy&Emilia go next week!
It's interesting most of the episodes don't follow the exact format that we've been used to. Legs with either a Detour or a Roadblock, mid-leg flights, more miscellaneous tasks – it's all contributing to this version of the show to have a more stand-out feel to it. Plus, this way you never know what to expect from a leg.
I'm dying to see what happens next week! To recap, the episode ended after Paul&Steve (sigh!) and the twins checked in at the fake Pit Stop and everyone else being in a lot of trouble. Shane&Andrew's car died. Lucy&Emilia's car stopped on what looked to be a railway track. Smoke was coming out of Joseph&Grace's car. Sticky&Sam seemed lost (God, I hope they don't get eliminated next week). And what's with the clue instructing teams to go to Australia? It appears next week's episode will be yet another great one.
TAR Australia: 'My stunning specimen of a man'
So, we've lost Ross&Tarryn. I knew it was coming ever since the Intersection – Sarah had been way too happy in her post-leg interview. It was sad seeing them go, but on the bright side, I've had all my three favorite teams make it for ½ of the Race. Tarryn&Ross had also won a leg before, so it's not even like they're leaving empty handed. They're amazing & I want them for the All-Stars version! Whenever that may be.
Other than that, the episode was slow paced with no power shifts, yet funnier than most. Lucy&Emilia were, as always, hilarious and Shane&Andrew had a nice, heart-warming moment with a 3 years old. They're starting to grow on me, as do the twins. I have massive respect for them and I wouldn't mind them sticking around until the final legs. I've enjoyed seeing the Yield tremendously – it was always one of my favorite twists. I don't think we've ever had a Double-Yield, but I'd be curious to see how that would work.
On the other end of the spectrum, Paul is still the person I despise the most out of all contestants. There is a real possibility he and Steve make it to the Final Three, I'm sorry to say. And it's terrifying. I cannot hope and pray enough that they are eliminated next!
Also, I'm done with my exams, so starting next week I should be able to write more detailed posts about the show.

Can somebody help me in writing a rule which can tell how many edges does a plot share with the street and apply different rules according to it.
Example: If it is a corner plot then it shares 2 of its edges with the street. Hence a different rule applies to it than to a site which shares only one edge. For now it is a user defined value :
@Range("CLASS_A","CLASS_B", "CLASS_C")
attr Type = "CLASS_A"
Lot -->
case Type == "CLASS_A" : LotA #shares one edge, apply rule LotA#
case Type == "CLASS_B" : LotB #shares two edges, apply rule LotB#
case Type == "CLASS_C" : LotC #shares three edges, apply rule LotC#
else : NIL
I want to write a rule that automatically does that. I can get the number of edges from geometry.egdes(correct me if I am wrong) but I dont know exactly how should I write the rule.

Blox is a detergent brand featured in the 3D and HD Universe.
Blox is first featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the radio, where it is advertised on Flash FM. It is never physically seen anywhere in the 3D Universe games except in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, where the player can see it in grocery stores like FIDL. It can also be seen in Cluckin' Bell restaurants in Grand Theft Auto IV, as well as in the kitchen of the Majestic Hotel, inside Bucky Sligo's house, and many more interiors. In Grand Theft Auto V, Blox can be found in any convenience store on the shelves. Blox appears to be a parody of the detergent company Clorox.

Collective Knowledge Management
Foundations of International Business in the Age of Intellectual Capitalism
Haruo H. Horaguchi
Chapter 4: Symbiotic knowledge
Haruo H. Horaguchi
Symbiotic knowledge is knowledge derived from the attempt to solve problems by combining knowledge of different dimensions. Knowledge dimension is defined by limitations specialists have in understanding theories. While knowledge of varying fields varies in degree, I would like to refer to their variation as dimensions of knowledge. There are cases where new products are created while possessing a high level of specialty, and by synthesizing knowledge of completely different types. In some instances, problems which are considered impossible may be resolved. Conjugate strategy is a domain to connect different dimensions of knowledge in collective strategies. New creation becomes possible by combining knowledge of varying dimensions. For instance, it is difficult for a medical expert to understand mechanical engineering, and it is difficult for a literary expert to organize a molecular-biological experiment. This is because each area of specialized talent has invested the length of time to establish the level of specialty. No matter how superior the general ability of the person in question may be, in order to gain a high level of specialty, they require a long time to tackle specific problems. The need to connect knowledge of different dimensions to one another arises from the fact that a problem to be solved often arises from complex factors, and what should be a solution remains too broad for application. Symbiotic knowledge is created in the process of dealing with problems whose solutions are difficult for particular problem-solvers to identify at the outset.

The euro held gains on Tuesday after a relief rally triggered by the first-round results of the French presidential election, while the safe haven yen weakened amid an ongoing uplift in risk appetite.
EUR/USD was up 0.18% at 1.0890 by 07.17 GMT, not far from Monday's peak of 1.0918, the highest level since November 11 after centrist former economy minister Emmanuel Macron won the first round of French presidential elections.
Polls, which were largely accurate in predicting the first round result, have indicated that Macron will comfortably beat euro skeptic nationalist Marine Le Pen in the runoff vote on May 7.
The dollar pushed higher against the yen, with USD/JPY rising 0.48% to 110.29.
Markets showed little reaction after North Korea conducted a massive live-fire drill on Tuesday amid heightened geopolitical tensions with the U.S.
Investors were also eyeing events in Washington ahead of a looming deadline to avoid a government shutdown and ongoing uncertainty over economic policy.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that a "big announcement" was coming this Wednesday on overhauling the U.S. tax code. An administration official said on Saturday that the announcement will consist of "broad principles and priorities".
The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was at 98.89, holding above the one-month low of 98.70 set on Monday.
Sterling was slightly higher against the dollar, with GBP/USD ticking up 0.13% to 1.2809.
Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar fell to the lowest levels in four months after the U.S. Commerce Department said it will impose new anti-subsidy duties averaging 20% on Canadian softwood lumber imports.
USD/CAD was last up 0.48% at 1.3569, the most since December 28.

Ah, yes, the holidays. Full of tinsel, twinkling lights and family and friends coming together to laugh and connect over a delicious meal. Or that's the movie version, anyway. In real life, holidays can mean stress, empty bank accounts and often more fights with our partners. Some studies even suggest that despite our sweater season cuddle-buddy desires, holidays are a peak time for breakups.
If you've ever struggled with snapping at your partner as the holidays draw nearer, you're not alone. What exactly are we fighting about? According to Blair Glaser, psychotherapist and relationship coach, there's plenty of fodder. "Whose traditions they're going to follow, whose parents are going to get more time. Money, always a classic one," she says. "And in certain couples, of course, there's stuff that comes up around religion and how they want to raise their kids."
More: How to Handle a Terrible Gift From Your Partner
According to Glaser, a big reason these arguments happen is lack of preparation. Rather than having a frank conversation at the beginning of the season about what each of the partner's goals is, "it all gets hyped up in the crazy consumer rush," she says. "And there's no time to really take the different pressures into consideration, and so people tend to take them out on each other."
Of course, all the other factors that weigh on your relationship matter too. Glaser says that whether a couple knows how to negotiate can be a make-or-break factor in how they get through the holidays. "You're going to come to the table with your traditions, and they're important to you for a variety of reasons," she says. These traditions are often charged with emotion because they're deeply important to us. "They offer a feeling of comfort and familiarity and tribal belonging and also connect us to our childhoods," she says.
More: Living Apart From My Partner Has Improved Our Sex Life
But their importance doesn't mean they shouldn't shift and change. "What we don't get to see about tradition is that amidst all of that comfort and connection sometimes is this feeling of calcification, like there's no room for spontaneity because that's just the way we've always done it, and it becomes routinized."
Rather than get stuck trying to capture traditions of our childhoods, Glaser feels it's important for the individuals to evaluate what they most value about the holidays and then share that with their partner. From there, she recommends viewing it as cocreating a holiday experience together.
Even if you come up with the perfect holiday plan for your relationship, you might face some pushback when sharing your plans with your families. "If you're a young couple in your 20s or 30s, you have been a child in your family longer than you've been an adult," she says. This can lead to tension in families even outside the holidays, and she says getting some guidance through this period doesn't hurt. "You're an adult, and now you're going to be an equal player," she says. It's not always easy, but it's worth it.
More: 5 Ways to Quickly De-escalate an Argument With Your Partner
Still, for some partners, the holidays aren't and haven't been a joyous occasion, whether that's because of grief or other negative feelings. In these couples, Glaser recommends challenging the idea that partners have to spend their time together. "If somebody's really enthusiastic about the holidays and loves going back home and the other doesn't have those feelings and doesn't necessarily want to feel strung along and isolated because their experience is so different, maybe they don't have to be together that whole time," she says.
So before we find ourselves knee-deep in the holiday season, have a conversation with your partner. Glaser has a worksheet that helps guide people through important questions like, "What do the holidays mean for you?" and "What is our Plan B?" Come to some understanding of what each of you is hoping to get out of the season and communicate throughout the month.
Once the holidays are over, have a recap of how each partner felt it went. Glaser says this step is vital. What worked and didn't? If you're still feeling some hurt or confusion, she recommends working through on your own or with a friend or counselor before approaching your partner about it.
But do have the conversation. It could be the path to experiencing one of those movie moments.

You wouldn't want a mechanic to wear a blindfold when changing oil in your car, or a stylist to look the other way while trimming your hair. It makes even more sense for your oral and maxillofacial specialist to have the clearest possible view of dental structures, for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Stevenson, Fairchild & Surber OMS use leading-edge 3D imaging technology for procedures at their Valparaiso & Merrillville, IN offices.
About the instruments
This state-of-the art equipment exceeds the capabilities of a traditional CT scanner. Three-dimensional cone beam technology delivers high-resolution anatomical detail, with many options in field of view, including panoramic and tight focus. That reduces need for return visits for more pictures. This type of imaging creates minimal exposure to radiation for the patient; even less than other digital x-ray and scanning systems, because it hones-in on the area of concern.
We use these pictures, viewed on a computer monitor, to discuss diagnosis and treatment options with the patient. Digital files are easily shared with other healthcare practitioners, for a collaborative team approach to care, or with insurance providers to expedite benefits.
The many uses for 3D dental imaging in Valparaiso & Merrillville, IN
Our 3D dental imaging system gives the surgeons at Stevenson, Fairchild & Surber OMS the ability to perform a wide rate of services with great accuracy and confidence:

The Gold Bat - Chapter I - THE FIFTEENTH PLACE
"Don't be an idiot, man. I bagged it first."
"My dear chap, I've been waiting here a month."
"When you fellows have _quite finished rotting about in front of
that bath don't let _me detain you."
"Anybody seen that sponge?"
"Well, look here"--this in a tone of compromise--"let's toss for it."
"All right. Odd man out."
All of which, being interpreted, meant that the first match of the
Easter term had just come to an end, and that those of the team who,
being day boys, changed over at the pavilion, instead of performing the
operation at leisure and in comfort, as did the members of houses, were
discussing the vital question--who was to have first bath?
The Field Sports Committee at Wrykyn--that is, at the school which
stood some half-mile outside that town and took its name from it--were
not lavish in their expenditure as regarded the changing accommodation
in the pavilion. Letters appeared in every second number of the
_Wrykinian_, some short, others long, some from members of the
school, others from Old Boys, all protesting against the condition of
the first, second, and third fifteen dressing-rooms. "Indignant" would
inquire acidly, in half a page of small type, if the editor happened to
be aware that there was no hair-brush in the second room, and only half
a comb. "Disgusted O. W." would remark that when he came down with the
Wandering Zephyrs to play against the third fifteen, the water supply
had suddenly and mysteriously failed, and the W.Z.'s had been obliged
to go home as they were, in a state of primeval grime, and he thought
that this was "a very bad thing in a school of over six hundred boys",
though what the number of boys had to do with the fact that there was
no water he omitted to explain. The editor would express his regret in
brackets, and things would go on as before.
There was only one bath in the first fifteen room, and there were on
the present occasion six claimants to it. And each claimant was of the
fixed opinion that, whatever happened subsequently, he was going to
have it first. Finally, on the suggestion of Otway, who had reduced
tossing to a fine art, a mystic game of Tommy Dodd was played. Otway
having triumphantly obtained first innings, the conversation reverted
to the subject of the match.
The Easter term always opened with a scratch game against a mixed team
of masters and old boys, and the school usually won without any great
exertion. On this occasion the match had been rather more even than the
average, and the team had only just pulled the thing off by a couple of
tries to a goal. Otway expressed an opinion that the school had played
"Why on earth don't you forwards let the ball out occasionally?" he
asked. Otway was one of the first fifteen halves.
"They were so jolly heavy in the scrum," said Maurice, one of the
forwards. "And when we did let it out, the outsides nearly always
mucked it."
"Well, it wasn't the halves' fault. We always got it out to the
"It wasn't the centres," put in Robinson. "They played awfully well.
Trevor was ripping."
"Trevor always is," said Otway; "I should think he's about the best
captain we've had here for a long time. He's certainly one of the best
"Best there's been since Rivers-Jones," said Clephane.
Rivers-Jones was one of those players who mark an epoch. He had been in
the team fifteen years ago, and had left Wrykyn to captain Cambridge
and play three years in succession for Wales. The school regarded the
standard set by him as one that did not admit of comparison. However
good a Wrykyn centre three-quarter might be, the most he could hope to
be considered was "the best _since Rivers-Jones". "Since"
Rivers-Jones, however, covered fifteen years, and to be looked on as
the best centre the school could boast of during that time, meant
something. For Wrykyn knew how to play football.
Since it had been decided thus that the faults in the school attack did
not lie with the halves, forwards, or centres, it was more or less
evident that they must be attributable to the wings. And the search for
the weak spot was even further narrowed down by the general verdict
that Clowes, on the left wing, had played well. With a beautiful
unanimity the six occupants of the first fifteen room came to the
conclusion that the man who had let the team down that day had been the
man on the right--Rand-Brown, to wit, of Seymour's.
"I'll bet he doesn't stay in the first long," said Clephane, who was
now in the bath, _vice Otway, retired. "I suppose they had to try
him, as he was the senior wing three-quarter of the second, but he's no
earthly good."
"He only got into the second because he's big," was Robinson's opinion.
"A man who's big and strong can always get his second colours."
"Even if he's a funk, like Rand-Brown," said Clephane. "Did any of you
chaps notice the way he let Paget through that time he scored for them?
He simply didn't attempt to tackle him. He could have brought him down
like a shot if he'd only gone for him. Paget was running straight along
the touch-line, and hadn't any room to dodge. I know Trevor was jolly
sick about it. And then he let him through once before in just the same
way in the first half, only Trevor got round and stopped him. He was
"Missed every other pass, too," said Otway.
Clephane summed up.
"He was rank," he said again. "Trevor won't keep him in the team long."
"I wish Paget hadn't left," said Otway, referring to the wing
three-quarter who, by leaving unexpectedly at the end of the Christmas
term, had let Rand-Brown into the team. His loss was likely to be felt.
Up till Christmas Wrykyn had done well, and Paget had been their scoring
man. Rand-Brown had occupied a similar position in the second fifteen.
He was big and speedy, and in second fifteen matches these qualities
make up for a great deal. If a man scores one or two tries in nearly
every match, people are inclined to overlook in him such failings as
timidity and clumsiness. It is only when he comes to be tried in
football of a higher class that he is seen through. In the second
fifteen the fact that Rand-Brown was afraid to tackle his man had
almost escaped notice. But the habit would not do in first fifteen
"All the same," said Clephane, pursuing his subject, "if they don't
play him, I don't see who they're going to get. He's the best of the
second three-quarters, as far as I can see."
It was this very problem that was puzzling Trevor, as he walked off the
field with Paget and Clowes, when they had got into their blazers after
the match. Clowes was in the same house as Trevor--Donaldson's--and
Paget was staying there, too. He had been head of Donaldson's up to
"It strikes me," said Paget, "the school haven't got over the holidays
yet. I never saw such a lot of slackers. You ought to have taken thirty
points off the sort of team you had against you today."
"Have you ever known the school play well on the second day of term?"
asked Clowes. "The forwards always play as if the whole thing bored
them to death."
"It wasn't the forwards that mattered so much," said Trevor. "They'll
shake down all right after a few matches. A little running and passing
will put them right."
"Let's hope so," Paget observed, "or we might as well scratch to Ripton
at once. There's a jolly sight too much of the mince-pie and Christmas
pudding about their play at present." There was a pause. Then Paget
brought out the question towards which he had been moving all the time.
"What do you think of Rand-Brown?" he asked.
It was pretty clear by the way he spoke what he thought of that player
himself, but in discussing with a football captain the capabilities of
the various members of his team, it is best to avoid a too positive
statement one way or the other before one has heard his views on the
subject. And Paget was one of those people who like to know the
opinions of others before committing themselves.
Clowes, on the other hand, was in the habit of forming his views on his
own account, and expressing them. If people agreed with them, well and
good: it afforded strong presumptive evidence of their sanity. If they
disagreed, it was unfortunate, but he was not going to alter his
opinions for that, unless convinced at great length that they were
unsound. He summed things up, and gave you the result. You could take
it or leave it, as you preferred.
"I thought he was bad," said Clowes.
"Bad!" exclaimed Trevor, "he was a disgrace. One can understand a chap
having his off-days at any game, but one doesn't expect a man in the
Wrykyn first to funk. He mucked five out of every six passes I gave
him, too, and the ball wasn't a bit slippery. Still, I shouldn't mind
that so much if he had only gone for his man properly. It isn't being
out of practice that makes you funk. And even when he did have a try at
you, Paget, he always went high."
"That," said Clowes thoughtfully, "would seem to show that he was
Nobody so much as smiled. Nobody ever did smile at Clowes' essays in
wit, perhaps because of the solemn, almost sad, tone of voice in which
he delivered them. He was tall and dark and thin, and had a pensive
eye, which encouraged the more soulful of his female relatives to
entertain hopes that he would some day take orders.
"Well," said Paget, relieved at finding that he did not stand alone in
his views on Rand-Brown's performance, "I must say I thought he was
awfully bad myself."
"I shall try somebody else next match," said Trevor. "It'll be rather
hard, though. The man one would naturally put in, Bryce, left at
Christmas, worse luck."
Bryce was the other wing three-quarter of the second fifteen.
"Isn't there anybody in the third?" asked Paget.
"Barry," said Clowes briefly.
"Clowes thinks Barry's good," explained Trevor.
"He _is good," said Clowes. "I admit he's small, but he can
"The question is, would he be any good in the first? A chap might do
jolly well for the third, and still not be worth trying for the first."
"I don't remember much about Barry," said Paget, "except being collared
by him when we played Seymour's last year in the final. I certainly
came away with a sort of impression that he could tackle. I thought he
marked me jolly well."
"There you are, then," said Clowes. "A year ago Barry could tackle
Paget. There's no reason for supposing that he's fallen off since then.
We've seen that Rand-Brown _can't tackle Paget. Ergo, Barry is
better worth playing for the team than Rand-Brown. Q.E.D."
"All right, then," replied Trevor. "There can't be any harm in trying
him. We'll have another scratch game on Thursday. Will you be here
then, Paget?"
"Oh, yes. I'm stopping till Saturday."
"Good man. Then we shall be able to see how he does against you. I wish
you hadn't left, though, by Jove. We should have had Ripton on toast,
the same as last term."
Wrykyn played five schools, but six school matches. The school that
they played twice in the season was Ripton. To win one Ripton match
meant that, however many losses it might have sustained in the other
matches, the school had had, at any rate, a passable season. To win two
Ripton matches in the same year was almost unheard of. This year there
had seemed every likelihood of it. The match before Christmas on the
Ripton ground had resulted in a win for Wrykyn by two goals and a try
to a try. But the calculations of the school had been upset by the
sudden departure of Paget at the end of term, and also of Bryce, who
had hitherto been regarded as his understudy. And in the first Ripton
match the two goals had both been scored by Paget, and both had been
brilliant bits of individual play, which a lesser man could not have
carried through.
The conclusion, therefore, at which the school reluctantly arrived, was
that their chances of winning the second match could not be judged by
their previous success. They would have to approach the Easter term
fixture from another--a non-Paget--standpoint. In these circumstances
it became a serious problem: who was to get the fifteenth place?
Whoever played in Paget's stead against Ripton would be certain, if the
match were won, to receive his colours. Who, then, would fill the
"Rand-Brown, of course," said the crowd.
But the experts, as we have shown, were of a different opinion.

Conferring Ceremony for Graduate Diploma in Risk Management & Quality
Congratulations to the graduates of our Graduate Diploma in Healthcare (Risk Management and Quality) who were conferred with their diplomas on the 6th September 2016 at a conferring ceremony in the UCD Charles Institute. The Dean of Medicine and Head of School, Professor Patrick Murray presented diplomas to a total of 16 students who have completed this highly successful programme which is now in its 21st year.
A total of 388 students have completed the innovative Clinical Risk Management and Quality programme since its inception in 1995. The course was designed and delivered by UCD Forensic & Legal Medicine with support from national and international experts in the field. Many of the programme participants are employed in various roles relating to patient safety and law including senior clinical risk management or quality functions across the Irish health service as well as healthcare professionals, and legal practitioners and those involved in claims management. The programme enjoys the support and input of a number of statutory bodies and stakeholders who also act as lecturers and examiners on the course, including the State Claims Agency (SCA), the Health Service Executive (HSE) and the Health Information & Quality Authority (HIQA) and the Medical Council of Ireland.
The master of ceremonies for the evening was academic Programme Director and Co-ordinator Mr Asim Sheikh, Barrister-at-Law and UCD Assistant Professor, whose legal practice and work specialises in clinical negligence and medical/healthcare law. The academic conferring group also comprised Prof Pat Murray (Head of School and Dean of Medicine), Prof Denis Cusack (Professor of Forensic and Legal Medicine) and Dr Cliona McGovern (UCD Assistant Professor) assisted by Ms Danielle Marie (Senior Executive Assistant). We were also delighted to welcome families and friends of the graduating class who have supported them during their studies.
Opening proceedings, Professor Cusack congratulated the assembled graduands and commended the group for the dedication, commitment and persistence that each student brought to this part-time programme. He pointed to the considerable and continued demand for the course; indicative of the increasing focus on patient safety and managing risk and quality in our healthcare systems and highlighted how the emphasis has changed from defensive risk management to proactive patient safety and quality assurance.
Dr Dubhfeasa Slattery, Head of Clinical Risk at the State Claims Agency presented a bursary prize to the top student in the programme, Mr. Conor McCrystal for his project entitled: "Monitoring Dosage System (MDS) Dispensing In Community Pharmacy: Healthcare Solution or Medico-Legal Liability?"
As was explained by Asim Sheikh, it has become an annual tradition, utilised to foster key links in this multidisciplinary speciality, to invite a keynote speaker to address the ceremony. The School of Medicine was honoured that this year's keynote address to the new graduates was given by the Hon. Ms. Justice Mary Irvine, Judge of the Court of Appeal. Past addresses to this ceremony have been given by:
- Minsters for Health: Micheál Martin and Mary Harney
- Prof Sir John Lilleyman – UK National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA)
- Hon. Judge Maureen Harding Clarke
- Prof Dierdre Madden
- Dr. Tracey Cooper, HIQA
- Prof Freddie Woods, Medical Council
- Dr Peter Lachman, Deputy Medical Director (Patient Safety), Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, external examiner UCD.
- Hon. Mr Justice John Quirke, President of the Law Reform Commission, also kindly addressed the group in relation to the duties of the expert witness in 2015 as part of the graduate diploma.
Keynote Speaker
Judge Mary Irvine was called to Bar 1978 and called to the Inner Bar in 1992, She specialised in Personal Injury, Healthcare and Medical Negligence and appeared in many of the leading clinical negligence cases. She was appointed judge of the High Court 2007 and appointed head of the Personal Injuries division of the High Court in 2009. She then chaired the Working Group established to advise on the reform of Clinical Negligence litigation and Periodic payments 2010. She was appointed to the Court of Appeal 2014 and she is Editorial Board member of the Medico-legal Journal of Ireland whose current Editor is Asim Sheikh. Her address was on the topic of: "The patient/plaintiff's experience and medical litigation: Reforms, changes and attitudes."
Judge Irvine commenced her talk commenting that the vast majority of plaintiffs would say that the medical litigation process was extremely difficult. She stated that it was a very stressful starting point for plaintiffs and that in our adversarial system, plaintiffs were compelled to go through difficult hurdles of the system with the fear of losing the case and costs being found against them.
She also stated however, that this was also not an easy process for defendants and was extremely stressful for those seeking to defend a medical negligence action against them. Judge Irvine emphasised that it was a reasonably fair system, however the answer to whether it could be improved was clearly in the affirmative.
She indicated that the plaintiffs' main complaints in relation to the system were generally as follows:
There was a degree of "stonewalling" whereby e.g., plaintiffs found it difficult to obtain documents relating to the medical care; Proceedings took a long time; and, often, it was late in the day in the process of the litigation that some defendants would admit liability.
Judge Irvine reflected on all of these issues and suggested reforms that would assist in this process. The main thrust of her address was in relation to how matters could be improved by the introduction of pre-action protocols (which will commence in relation to non-personal injury actions in October 2016, and thereafter, will be introduced by legislation for medical negligence cases).
The pre-action protocols would allow cases to be managed by the courts to ensure that issues in relation to the case are narrowed at the earliest point in time. Also, evidence to support the claim being made is provided at the commencement of the claim by various witnesses by both the plaintiff and then the defendant which would establish the factual circumstances in the case much earlier than currently transpires. In addition, the relevant expert witnesses would also agree the salient issues as early as possible in the proceedings. Judge Irvine's views were extremely helpful in understanding the patient's journey through the medical litigation process and how matters can be improved through some measures and practical reform.
The Head of School of Dean of Medicine, Professor Murray, discussed the importance of the work by the graduates and noted that this year's ceremony was kindly supported and sponsored by Challenge and by the Beacon Hospital, to whom he expressed his appreciation on behalf of the School. He also thanked all of the supporters of the course and event. In attendance were the CEO of Challenge, Mr. David Walsh and Ms. Ann O'Driscoll, Solicitor and Senior Medico-legal Advisor. Dr. Jennifer Westrup, Section Chief of Oncology and Director of Medical Education in the Beacon Hospital was also in attendance.
Bringing the meeting to a close, both Asim Sheikh and Prof Cusack encouraged the graduates to continue being powerful advocates for culture change and patient safety within their organisations.

text: There are particular groups of the population who are at a greater risk of not getting enough vitamin D, and the UK Department of Health recommends these people take daily vitamin D supplements. Generally the main groups are babies up to one year old, all children up to 4 years and people who are not often exposed to the sun.....frail or housebound, in an institution... care home etc or who usually wear clothes that cover up most of their skin when outdoors. For the rest of the population, everyone over the age of 5 years (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) is advised to consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D.

Four thousand Odesites came to the local Palace of Sports to see Nick Vujicic. People were standing in corridors, sitting on stairs or behind the stage just to hear Nick Vujicic – a person without limbs, a motivational speaker and Christian evangelist. Opinion found out why our people are so happy to hear a successful Australian who knows only one word in Ukrainian, and whether his character differs from his line.
Having come to Odesa from Lviv, Nick Vujicic set up a press conference at 9 a.m. – unusually early for Odesa journalists. However, the number of cameras in the hall (which was situated in a hotel on the Odesa coast) didn't differ from that when the Prime-Minister comes. A special person from Vujicic team brought him to the table. Soon he explained why he gathered journalists so early.
"I have a very busy schedule today. After the press conference, I go to an orphanage, then to meet the Odesa's mayor. Then I have s meeting with students, and then I have a section for those who have bought tickets. I hope I will manage to do everything."
"When I was a teenager, I attempted a suicide. I didn't understand why I was born so. Children didn't want to play with me, and at school, I was the first child with disabilities in the class. Children didn't offend me but they ignored me as if I didn't exist. I was constantly thinking that I lack limbs. And in some years, I fell down and broke my leg (Nick has a small deformed foot which helps him to move) and I was lying with a cast for a month. Then I understood that I had something already. And then I realized: if there was no room for a miracle in my life, then perhaps, I could be that miracle," Vujicic says.
Vujicic doesn't usually speak about it, but he didn't succeed only by himself. All his family devoted themselves to Nick, and he was born in Australia – the country with the leading medical services, social standards and attitude to the disabled. His team includes about twenty people who are accompanying him in his 6-month world tour. But in every sentence, he highlights that it was the god who helped him.
It is another Vujicic at the meeting with students: he jokes a lot, tells less about god and more about success. It is exactly what a young generation needs to put away their smartphones and start to listen to a "motivational speaker".
"It is you who change the world. When you look at a person who has made something good, just know that everything began from a decision… I like the garden conception: you sow seeds in the ground, water them, fertilize (manure smells bad but it is good for soil), and something grows up. Many of you think that you should leave Ukraine, that it hasn't given you anything. But I beg you, don't view a current situation as an eternal one. Vice versa, it is only a start and it is great to be involved in start-ups, isn't it? Stop blaming generation that was before you, you should do something to make parents and then your children be proud of you. Ukraine is only 27, she is as young as you. And it depends on you what you can give to your Motherland, what will grow up out of your country," Nick Vujicic says.
Despite all the "negative circumstances" which students like to mention, this is what young people seem to want to hear. People were applauding for several minutes.
"There are two positions: there are those who want to emigrate to Europe, and officials who say: live here, work here. Nick seems to be the first person who explained why we should really live here. It is not about some theatrical patriotism but about what you are ready to give in exchange for your expectations. Nobody gave us such motivational speeches at school or university," Mykola Nalyvaiko, a second-year student, said.
In the evening, the hall where Vujicic was to perform was full. More than 4 thousand Odesites came to listen to the "motivational speaker". Many of them were ready to stand on the stairs for several hours only to hear Nick. The first row was taken by people in wheelchairs, people with vision and hearing impairment were sitting behind, there were also many people with crutches. Surprisingly, a lot of young people came. They seem not to need any motivation. Christian songs which lasted 90 minutes didn't make people lose their enthusiasm, they were waiting for Nick Vujicic.
"I often feel depressed. I live in a block of flats, and for me going outside is a huge problem. My wheelchair isn't able to go through all the pits on pavements, and my pension wouldn't cover my taxi expenses. So I spend 90% of my free time at home, I can only gaze out a window. My only pleasure is a TV. I saw a commercial about Vujicic there. For people in wheelchairs, there was a free entry. I realize that he won't raise my subsidies or set a wheelchair ramp, but I am just tired of living a drab life. I just wanted to hear something positive," a 52-year-old Serhii said.
There are many people like Serhii in the hall. They tell their stories, and they all are alike: a drab life, too many problems, lack of air. However, just the expectation of "motivation tips" seems to enhance people's mood. There was no argument for seats, people were polite and wished each other all the best. It felt like you were in a mirror-world. 4 thousand of friendly Ukrainians in one place is kind of a miracle.
As soon as Nick Vujicic came on stage, people started to applaud. Young people started to shoot stories for Instagram, elder people folded their hands and sat up as pupils. Unlike a calm mode at the conference and a friendly one at the student meeting, here Vujicic decided to have a buffoon mode on: he starts to shout sometimes, often mimics Ukrainian words of an interpreter and constantly makes jokes of his disability. The crowd laughed immensely. No official narrative or sermons. He is rather telling a didactic joke.
"Guys, you will never guess what I have in my wardrobe! Trainers in case if God will give me feet. If it happens, it will be a proper miracle, if no, then I will be a miracle – a weird limbless person. And if I can be a miracle – I will be happy. I am not an angel, and I don't want to be an angel, but I can stand by the gates to hell and just turn people back. And you can also be like me. I know how it feels when you have nothing when you are devastated. When so, you can help neither yourself nor others. You should start from a gratitude. To your wife, mother or children. Just recall what you love them for. And you will be filled with that feeling. And you will be able to share it with others. And your life will become a bit lighter," Vujicic said.
People take simple words as a preaching. He always mentions god but doesn't call people to visit a church. He doesn't tell about money but he sells a fairy-tale. And Ukrainians are ready to buy it.
"There is only negative news, politicians only have arguments, people are rude in shops, hospitals, schools etc. Ukrainians aren't positive at all. And he came from Australia and tells about kindness and respect. And I am ready to listen to him for two hours to distract from negative stuff," Serhii said trying to go down the concrete stairs of the Palace of Sports.

2018 – How To Take Off From Within You!
Indeed, for every external effect that we can see, there is an internal cause we do not see. Find out!
By the law of mental causation and magnetism, thoughts become things; from our thoughts spring forth ideas, words, emotions, actions and experiences. There is an inseparable relationship between what we habitually think, believe and expect, and what eventually manifests in our life.
Life is ever unfolding from within, and revealing itself to the light, and thoughts engendered in the heart at last reveal themselves in words, actions, and things accomplished. ...James Allen.
Thought is the seed, Mind is the soil, Emotion is the water, Faith is the sunshine, and Action the executor - all working together to bear fruit in accord with your dominant thought energy.
Our life conditions and experiences are just manifestations of the dominant thoughts we have conceived and believed in. Whatever we achieve in life, we first create in our consciousness.
Life is Consciousness. Your Mind governs your Life. Control your Mind and you control your Destiny. Choose your Thoughts and you choose your Results.
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. ...James Allen
By the law of correspondence, you always attract to yourselves the people and resources required to make your dominant thoughts and ideas a reality.
When thought energy is intense, it has the propensity to mobilise and activate all your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual forces towards its actualization. Put another way, when your ideas, words, feelings, knowledge and actionss are in alignment with your thoughts, powerful results must follow.
By choosing wisely what you want in 2018, you cause an important and radical change in your conscious awareness, necessary for the attainment of your aspirations. A superior change in the content and quality of your thought creates a visible change in your outer conditions and experiences. Thoughts are things!
Any passionate and focused thought, clearly visualised and emotionally charged, will ultimately manifest its physical equivalent, no matter how long it takes.
Therefore to take firm control and be a success in 2018, simply choose what results you want to see in your life this year, and then fill your mind with its corresponding thought forms. It is an inside thing, and it's up to you! Blessings!
All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his thoughts. ...James Allen.

It replaces license symbols like "EMULAB-COPYRIGHT" and "GENIPUBLIC-COPYRIGHT" with {{{ }}}-delimited blocks that contain actual license statements. This change was driven by the fact that today, most people acquire and track Emulab and ProtoGENI sources via git. Before the Emulab source code was kept in git, the Flux Research Group at the University of Utah would roll distributions by making tar files. As part of that process, the Flux Group would replace the license symbols in the source files with actual license statements. When the Flux Group moved to git, people outside of the group started to see the source files with the "unexpanded" symbols. This meant that people acquired source files without actual license statements in them. All the relevant files had Utah *copyright* statements in them, but without the expanded *license* statements, the licensing status of the source files was unclear. This commit is intended to clear up that confusion. Most Utah-copyrighted files in the Emulab source tree are distributed under the terms of the Affero GNU General Public License, version 3 (AGPLv3). Most Utah-copyrighted files related to ProtoGENI are distributed under the terms of the GENI Public License, which is a BSD-like open-source license. Some Utah-copyrighted files in the Emulab source tree are distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (LGPL).

deleted, they still remain in the user table with a status of "archived", but since all the queries in the system now use uid_idx instead of uid, it is safe to reuse a uid since they are no longer ambiguous. The reason for not deleting users from the users table is so that the stats records can refer to the original record (who was that person named "mike"). This is very handy and worth the additional effort it has taken. There is no way to ressurect a user, but it would not be hard to add.

redirect to the login page rather than printing a message with a link to the page. Otherwise send a "403 Forbidden" to keep robots from indexing the page. Also send appreciate HTTP responses on other precheck errors to keep a robot from indexing the page. In order to do this the PAGEHEADER call needed to be moved to after CheckLoginOrDie and Required/OptionalPageArguments on many pages. A warning will be printed if either CheckLoginOrDie or Required/OptionalPageArguments detects that PAGEHEADER was already called. Also change the redirect in kb-show to be a permanent redirect (301) rather than a temporary one (302) which is the default unless a status code is given.

DB alongside the resource records. Previously, we stored only the nsfiles for current experiments, and purged them when the experiment was terminated. The new approach saves them forever using the resource record ID. Note that we do not store copies of NS files, but reference them indirectly instead so that we can MD5 them and avoid the dups. I put a "compressed" bit into the table cause at some point we will start compressing the data before storing them into the DB. Or maybe we bag this and start using GFS! Also note that this addresses the problem of losing the NS file history when using swapmod, since the NS file is overwritten. * Add a pmapping table stores the nodes (and their types) used by an experiment. This data is also saved forever, alongside the resource records, so that we can more accurately replay an experiment. As Rob points out, the node names can also be used in conjunction with the ptop files that are saved, to get a 100% accurate remap of resources.

This change attempts to make the stats gathering code more reliable by not relying on the testbed_stats records to reconstruct usage statistics. The main source of errors and total confusion in the current stats code is that testbed_stats includes all the errors and transitions, from which I have to reconstruct what happened in order to determine usage by a project or user. The new stats code still generates the testbed_stats code, but actual usage is recorded as it happens, in the experiment_resources table, as swapins, swapouts, and swapmods occur. Its also much faster to compute the data for the tables in the web interface, not having to scan a zillion testbed_stats records in php. There is a time consuming update to the records that takes place with a lot of tables locked.

register_globals=1 to turn POST/GET/COOKIES arguments in local variables. This is known to be a terrible security risk, and we keep saying we are going to fix it, and now I am. In order to accomplish this on a transitional basis (since I don't want the entire web interface to stop working while I debug it), and because the code just needs the cleanup, I am doing it like this: Each page will sport new declarations at the top: RequiredPageArguments("experiment", PAGEARG_EXPERIMENT, "template", PAGEARG_TEMPLATE, "instance", PAGEARG_INSTANCE, "metadata", PAGEARG_METADATA, "osinfo", PAGEARG_OSINFO, "image", PAGEARG_IMAGE, "project", PAGEARG_PROJECT, "group", PAGEARG_GROUP, "user", PAGEARG_USER, "node", PAGEARG_NODE, "yesno", PAGEARG_BOOLEAN, "message", PAGEARG_STRING, "age", PAGEARG_INTEGER, "cost", PAGEARG_NUMERIC, "formfields", PAGEARG_ARRAY, "unknown", PAGEARG_ANYTHING); OptionalPageArguments("canceled", PAGEARG_BOOLEAN); The first token in each pair is the name of the global variable to set, and the second token is the type. So, for "experiment" we look at the URL for a pid/eid or exptidx, etc, sanity check them (safe for a DB query), and then try to find that experiment in the DB. If it maps to an experiment, set global variable $experiment to the object. Since its a required argument, produce an error if not supplied. Similar treatment for optional arguments, with the obvious difference. The goal is to have ALL argument processing in one place, consistent, and correct. I've found numerous places where we leak unchecked arguments into queries. It also cuts out a lot of duplicated code. * To make the above easier to deal with, I've been replacing lots of hardcoded URLS in the code of the form: foo.php3?pid=$pid&eid=$eid ... with CreateURL("foo", $experiment) which creates and returns the neccessary url string, by looking at the type of its arguments (experiment, template, instance, etc.) Eventually plan to replace them all so that URL handling throughout the code is all defined in one place (all the new URL code is in url_defs.php). * I have cranked up error reporting to tell me anytime a variable is used before it is initialized, plus a bunch of other stuff that PHP deems improper. Think of it like -Wall ... and boy we get a lot of warnings. A very large percentage of the diffs are to fix all these warnings. The warnings are currently going to /usr/testbed/log/php-errors.log, and I'll be adding a script to capture them each night and mail them to tbops. This file also gets errors (this will be a change for developers; rather then seeing errors and warnings dumped in the middle of web pages, they will go to this file instead). * Major refactoring of the code. More objects (nodes, images, osids). Moving tons of queries into the objects in the hopes of someday getting to a point where we can split the web interface onto a different server. Lots of general cleanup.

per-experiment instantiation with aggregate data like the number of swapins, the dates and the like. The other part is the per swapin/modify stats. These are number of pnodes, links, lans, etc. Long term, I think we want more precise swapin stats, and with experiment modify in the mix, we need to have multiple stat records per experiment, but do not need to duplicate all the stuff in the other table just mentioned. To reduce the amount the table size, we cross reference the tables by index only instead of with pid,eid and the like. We use exptidx to link experiments, experiment_stats, and the new experiment_resources table. experiment_resources and stats are linked by another index in the resources table, which indicates which is the current resource row. On a modify, a new resource record is created, and the stats record updated to point to the new (latest) resource record. Web Changes: Improve showstats and showexpstats. Make them user accessible so that mere users can see stats for themselves and for their projects. No ability for mere users (PIs) to look at another person's stats. Generally, these two pages need more work, but now they are more useful. I added Show Stats to the user info and project info pages to display per-usr/proj stats. Add more info in the showstats display, but the showexpstats display is still not pretty printed; just the raw tables. Rename a few fields, add some indexes, and otherwise make some minor changes that are sure to annoy everyone.

the idx to the corresponding experiment_stats record so you can see the details for an experiment. Still needs a bunch of work.
- 28 Apr, 2003 1 commit
The first three are aggregate tables, while the experiment stats table gets a record for each new experiment, and is updated when an experiment is swapped in/out/modify or terminated. Look at the table to see what is tracked. Once the experiment_stats record is updated, the aggregate tables are updated as necessary. There are a bunch of ugly changes to assign_wrapper to get the stats. Note that pnodes is not incremented until an experiment sucessfully swaps in. This is in leu of getting status codes; I'm not tracking failed operations yet, nor creating the log file that Jay wants. I'll do that in the next round of changes when we see how useful these numbers are. Most of the changes are to create/delete table entries where appropriate, and to display the records. Display is only under admin mode, and the display is raw; just a dump of the assoc tables in php. The last 100 experiment stats records are available via the Experiment List page, using the "Stats" show option at the top. Bad place, but will do for now.

Predictably, Trump Comes Up Empty on Foxconn
From The White House's official transcript:
This is just the beginning. This is one of the largest plants in the world. And when you think in terms of 20 million feet — if you build in Manhattan a million-foot building, that's a very big building. They don't get much bigger. And here you're talking about more. Think of it: more than 20 million feet. And that's probably going to be a minimal number.
So I'm thrilled to be here in the Badger State with the hardworking men and women of Foxconn working with you. Moments ago, we broke ground on a plant that will provide jobs for much more than 13,000 Wisconsin workers. (Applause.) Really something. Really something. Thank you, fellas.

It's no secret that we've got candy...
I don't know about you, but I'm a bit tuckered out after all the dancing in the rain we did yesterday. I could use a nice, relaxing afternoon just sitting in the flower fields of Fairwee Glen. Hopefully whichever Fairwees we run into today have the same relaxed plans in mind.
We have just settled into the tall sweet grass when a soft giggle can be heard from behind a cluster of daisies. A quick peek behind the flowers reveals wee Emaline whispering a secret to Jilly, and from the looks on their faces it is quite amusing. Having been found out, this coy pair quickly share that there is a rumor going around Sweet November Land about a large group of crazy crafters really getting down and shaking their groove thang during yesterday's rain shower. Jilly and Emaline then proceed to do their best impression of our moves and we can't help but laugh. Apparently our dancing has become the talk of the land and these two want some lessons. I guess we will have to postpone that relaxing afternoon for some other time because the candy these Fairwees are offering in exchange for another day of dancing is too good to resist. Take a look...
The Secret candy kit includes; one Sweet November Jilly and Emaline's Secret rubber stamp set, ten 6x6 sheets of My Mind's Eye My Girl paper, Prima flowers and Kaiser Craft pearls, ribbon, twine, buttons, Studio Calico wood veneer butterflies, four envelopes, four card blanks and my card.
All you have to do for a chance to win the candy is leave a comment on this post. If you link to the candy on your own blog that is great and much appreciated but not a requirement... I want everyone to be able to play along. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. I will ship the candy anywhere in the world so everyone is encouraged to play! :)
The candy will stay open through Friday, April 5th and I will announce the winners on Saturday, March 6th.
Alrighty, it's time to skip on over to the Sweet November Gal's blog! It's no secret that Nancy has a super cute card to share! :)
Instead of using random generator I will be printing out names and tossing them in a hat SO if you leave a comment for the SN gal on her blog, you will get an extra name in the hat... this will up your chances of winning the candy... fun, fun, fun!
Well, that wraps up the Sweet November April release. Big thanks to everyone who has come to check out these newest Fairwees and show them some love! Be sure to stop by the ATS blog today for another chance to win these stamps as well as all the other new releases currently available in the ATS store. :)
