What the research says about mindfulness-based cognitive therapy:
Comprehensive data on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy's effectiveness come from two major sources.
The first was a study that reviewed the outcomes of nearly 600 patients and found that the risk of depressive relapse was significantly reduced in patients receiving Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, compared to those who had not received the treatment.
The second was a study that reviewed the outcomes of 1100 patients and found a reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms in those patients receiving mindfulness-based interventions.
Furthermore, and perhaps the most compelling endorsement for Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy comes from the United Kingdom's National Institute of Clinical Excellence, known as NICE. This is an independent body that provides clinical guidelines for evidence-based care to patients using the healthcare system in the UK. The NICE guidelines for unipolar depression have, since 2004, consistently endorsed Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy as an effective means for the prevention of relapse and recurrence in depression. This has provided patients with an additional resource at their disposal for comprehensive depression care.

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has praised the hard-working performances of Pedro Obiang and Simone Zaza, after their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Place is up for grabs
It hasn't the best start to the season from the Hammers, but managed to get their first win in five matches at the weekend, with a single goal from Manuel Lanzini, giving them the narrow 1-0 victory.
It was a solid performance all round from Bilic's men, Obiang stood out amongst the rest, with tackling and passing through the match, and Bilic praised the Spaniard's performance at Selhurst Park.
"Pedro waited for chances,"Bilic told whufc.com. "I spoke to him in the pre-season and he played 30-odd games for us last season, not always as a starter, and is a great example for everyone."
He continued: "Last time out against Middlesbrough he got the chance and used it really well. If he continues to play like this, the place is his."
The goals will come
The one thing that the Hammers have lacked this season is goals. Despite the loan signing of Zaza from Italian giants Juventus, he has yet to register a goal in claret and blue, but Bilic believes that the goals will come for the Italian.
"Zaza was different class on Saturday. I told him after the game 'This is the Zaza I know from Sassuolo and from Juventus and the goals will come, he said. "Goals are really important for strikers, but they will come."
He continued: "I told him after the game straight away 'Zaza, you won today. Tonight you won more balls in the air against two good centre-halves in Delaney and Tomkins than you won in the four or five games you played before'."
Bilic concluded: "Without him, we wouldn't have won, it's as simple as that."
West Ham United will take on Sunderland AFC at the London Stadium on Saturday, October 22 with kick-off at 3pm BST.

IGTV - What You Need To Know
Only a mere 2 months ago we saw the hotly anticipated launch of Instagram TV – aka IGTV, with it's extravagant launch in San Fran. Things have moved fast from us consuming video from our TV to shifting to desktop to Cisco now reporting that by 2021 mobile video will account for 78% of all mobile traffic. Popular mobile app, Instagram, has evidenced how it capitalises on trends efficiently, with its previous introduction of 'stories' and more recently Instagram 'live'.
The IGTV icon appears within the instagram, with longer videos (up to 1 hour) being displayed in a standalone IGTV app in vertical format, where curators with larger followings can share videos with the same audience and followers on Instagram.
But how will the app aim to monetize this new offering?
Youtube has previously been bashed about how much it pays its content partners via a revenue share, but that has allowed it to sustain its position as the most popular video-sharing platform amongst influencers. Vine did not have a payment system in place with curators causing it to sink into oblivion and Facebook have yet to figure out a consistent payment system that pays out to curators either. This is the primary reason why most people post on Youtube and share that link via other social platforms – like Facebook.
From a marketing perspective, it would be interesting to see how Instagram positions IGTV to help brands showcase their products better than other channels. As it stands, mentions and links are not yet clickable when viewing videos, so brands have to rely on nurturing their potential customer base and then add their URL at the end of the video or rely on influencers correctly mentioning where to find their products within the video. In terms of sustaining content creation, the most likely solution for the new IGTV is to air pre/mid–roll advertisements within longer form videos and introduce revenue split or pay curators out right for content.
How close will it get to Youtube's offering? Well, there's still a long way to go. Marques Brownlee, stated to The Verge, "There are a lot of things [IGTV] doesn't do still that YouTube does. It's competing with a part of what YouTube does by focusing in a different way". The lack of search options also make the new feature/app miles different in terms of usability, as searching is limited to curators and not hashtags or keywords.
How Instagram will develop IGTV into a content rich money-maker is yet to be seen. But with its built-in 1 billion user base we can predict that a lot more people will trial the feature to see how to best engage with their audience.

Roundtable: Immigration Reform/
Hoyas for Immigrant Rights held a roundtable on immigration issues and invited both GUCD and GUCR. Members of all three organizations met to discuss what had become a central issue of the 2016 Presidential election. The discussion was fruitful (as was the pizza), and it was very interesting to hear perspectives from both sides of the aisle. Everyone went home with new knowledge of the complex issue.

Personal Showlists!!
Have you ever wondered how many times you've seen Black Clouds, or which recorded shows you have in your collection with Born on the Wrong Planet in them? Now you can create a username and password, enter the shows you've seen, and the shows you have on disc, and view personal showlists, totals for each song, and a personal every time played page for each song. As you go to more shows, or collect more discs, simply add them to your personal database! Go to the personal showlists page to get started!!
With the closing of Lance's setlist archive, an alternative source of setlists was needed to keep Cheesebase up to date. The fine folks at www.friendsofcheese.com have put in a lot of work to clean up the setlists and make them easy to access. Without the hard work of Lance and friendsofcheese.com, Cheesebase would not exist. Thanks to Lance and Jim Pollock and Mitch Kline from Friends of Cheese for their great efforts!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I enjoyed mine, at least as far as enjoying my new succulent center piece. I feel so happy each time I look at it. :-)
Time to update you on a couple things, or thing. Depends on how you look at it.
Remember this room?
Yep, that was my living room when we first moved in. Yawn. But then I added curtains as shown in this post. But I wasn't satisfied with that addition and had to go ahead and PhotoShop a Dream Room if you will. See below.
Fast forward to a year later and I have now taken the room one or two more steps to something that looks more complete.
Yep we now have a rug, much to the rejoicing of my cold feet, and some art on the wall.
For my facebook followers, remember this sneak peek?
I was inspired by all the cool maps you see popping up these days. So I decided to make it my next art piece. The world with a Tannie twist.
Here is my signature, so no stealing it.
And no DIY on that guy. I don't DIY my original art. Hope you understand. Anyway, I love it! It added just the color I needed for that room. Then I found the perfect popcorn rug online and now the room feels much more lived in. Adding the Living to Living Room. ;-)
Lets do some before and afters shall we?
The Empty Before.
The Kooky Dream Room.
Here is what you see from the front door.
So we are coming along. It could still use a little, and I mean little (minimalist here, remember?) more layering and then we could be looking at our first all the way complete room. How exciting!
So what do you think? Love it, hate it? Either way I would love your opinion.
Happy Monday!
P.S. Did that bother you that facebook people got a sneak peek into my map project? Well you can be a facebook person too. Head on over and like The Smithocracy!

I wanted to wear something that was different from my usual look, yet wearable for tonight since it's New Years Eve and, honestly, I am too lazy to take off and reapply makeup for day and night. So my solution was this super cat eye thing. It's kind of like the double winged liner I did, but with only one.
What I wore:
- cover up, foundation, powder
- white, brown, bronze, and salmon eye shadows
- bronzer
- blush
- mascara
- black gel liner
- black pencil liner
And so my makeup challenge is finally done! Hurray! It was pretty challenging, but it was also a lot of fun and made me think of different ways to wear the same thing.
I hope you guys enjoyed following along~ And, if you're super depressed that I won't be showing off my makeup anymore, I will still be doing posts whenever I feel like my makeup looks especially good so look forward to that! ♥

Winter White/
Winter white has me like....(insert heart eyes !!) I think I say this in every blog post (sorry), but I will forever be a neutral lover and winter white is one of those combinations that always has me swooning. I easily gravitate towards black and gray in the winter, but white is probably the most prevalent color in my closet. I can't even tell you how many white blouses I have, I just can't. stop. buying them !
Anyway, I adore white for winter and this Chicwish coat has been the perfect addition to my winter white collection. I love how feminine it is and is totally one of those classics with a twist. The faux fur is so fun and I love how chic it looks with jeans, but would look gorgeous paired with a dress, as well.
Thanks for reading!

The revised travel ban signed by President Donald Trump stands a better chance of holding up in court than its two prior versions, a noted immigrant scholar told DW. But to get there, the measure had to be scaled down.
DW: The third revision of President Trump's travel ban applies to eight countries, six of which are predominantly Muslim. It is supposed to be situation-based and permanent. Will this version hold up against possible legal challenges in the courts?
Stephen Yale-Loehr: Yes, I think the latest travel ban is more likely to survive a court challenge. The proclamation goes into depth about how the administration conducted its survey of other countries' identity management and information-sharing protocols. The proclamation bars only certain people from certain countries, not everyone from a given country. The proclamation includes North Korea and Venezuela, two non-Muslim-majority countries. And the new travel ban does not bar refugees from entering the United States. For all those reasons, I think a court is more likely to hold that this version of the travel ban is legal.
Are you surprised that North Korea, a country from which only very few people travel to the US, and Chad, a country which has had close military cooperation with the US, have been added to the travel ban?
Given our current tensions with North Korea, I am not surprised about the addition of that country. I am a little surprised about the addition of Chad, but maybe what the proclamation said about Chad is true: "Chad does not adequately share public-safety and terrorism-related information and fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion.
Additionally, several terrorist groups are active within Chad or in the surrounding region, including elements of Boko Haram, ISIS-West Africa, and [al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.]"
What do you make of the fact that Venezuela has also been put on the list?
Only certain Venezuelan officials are barred under the latest order. The proclamation states: "Venezuela's government fails to share public-safety and terrorism-related information adequately, fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion, and has been assessed to be not fully cooperative with respect to receiving its nationals subject to final orders of removal from the United States. There are, however, alternative sources for obtaining information to verify the citizenship and identity of nationals from Venezuela. As a result, the restrictions imposed by this proclamation focus on government officials of Venezuela who are responsible for the identified inadequacies." If that is the case, however, why does the order only bar such officials if they are coming on short-term B visas?
Is this new travel ban an appropriate tool to fulfill President Trump's stated goal to "protect the safety and security of the American people?"
President Trump obviously thinks so. I am sure he would have liked a broader travel ban, but the courts struck down his first two attempts. This version is much more narrowly focused. Perhaps the third time will be the charm for President Trump's travel ban orders.
Stephen Yale-Loehr is professor of immigration law at Cornell University and co-wrote the leading 21-volume treatise on the issue.
Donald Trump's controversial travel ban will be replaced with new rules for nationals from eight countries, including Venezuela and North Korea. Washington said the nations failed to meet demands for information sharing. (25.09.2017)
North Korea's top envoy, Ri Yong Ho, has accused the US of declaring war on his country. Ri told reporters in New York that the North has the right to shoot down US planes in international airspace. (25.09.2017)

Grondin retires, Neve steps up at Mediaedge:cia
'The Bruces, as they are known in the industry, have worked together for 20 years, and it will be a seamless transition as Bruce Neve assumes the leadership of the agency,' says Mediaedge:cia CEO North America Lee Doyle.
Mediaedge:cia president Bruce Grondin announced his retirement today. He'll be leaving the media agency effective May 31. Bruce Neve, SVP managing director, will assume the role of president on June 1.
Grondin has worked in the Canadian media scene for over 35 years and assumed his current responsibilities in 1998. He was named Media Director of the Year in 2001. Neve has been in the media business for over 20 years and has worked on categories including beer, automotive, retail telecommunications, entertainment and travel/tourism. He was part of the team that launched Mediaedge:cia in Canada and helped grow billings by over 300% over the past decade.
'It's been my privilege to work with the dynamic team here at Mediaedge:cia and with a stellar roster of clients,' says Grondin. 'We have accomplished a great deal since launching Mediaedge:cia a decade ago. I know I am leaving the agency with strong leadership in place.'
Neve adds he's excited to continue with the agency's strong momentum in 2008 and beyond. 'Under Bruce Grondin's leadership Mediaedge:cia has become a leader in communications planning, media planning and buying, digital and direct interaction as well as sport, entertainment and cause partnerships.'
Mediaedge:cia CEO North America Lee Doyle says Grondin's retirement is well-deserved after years of dedication to the agency and its clients. 'The Bruces, as they are known in the industry, have worked together for 20 years, and it will be a seamless transition as Bruce Neve assumes the leadership of the agency,' says Doyle. 'Bruce has always championed creative and innovative solutions to communication planning, and stays on top of emerging technologies and their impact on the consumer and the media landscape.'
The company's key Canadian clients include Ford, Mazda, Molson, Cara Foods and Wyeth.

Facts: After a 16-year relationship, Husband and Wife married when Husband was diagnosed with cancer. Two years later, Husband died. Prior to their marriage, Husband and Wife entered into a prenuptial agreement providing that each party's income remained their separate property. Wife had relatively little income. In 2007, Husband and Wife filed a joint tax return. Husband died before the 2007 refund was received, and Wife deposited it into their joint account. After Husband's death, the 2008 tax return was filed jointly. A $34,000 refund was received, all of which had been derived from Husband's income. When Husband's estate asked Wife to give the refund to the estate, Wife refused. The Estate sued. The trial court ruled that Wife was entitled to 45.2% of the refund with the remainder passing to the Estate. The Estate appealed.
On Appeal: The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court.
Tennessee public policy favors prenuptial agreements. Parties benefit from prenuptial agreements because such agreements define their marital rights in property. Where terms of the prenuptial agreement are clear and unambiguous, the courts must wholly ascertain the parties' intent from the plain and ordinary meaning of those terms. Further, Tennessee Code Annotated § 36-3-501 provides:
[A]ny antenuptial or prenuptial agreement entered into by spouses concerning property owned by either spouse before the marriage that is the subject of such agreement shall be binding upon any court having jurisdiction over such spouses and/or such agreement if such agreement is determined, in the discretion of such court, to have been entered into by such spouses freely, knowledgeably and in good faith and without exertion of duress or undue influence upon either spouse. The terms of such agreement shall be enforceable by all remedies available for enforcement of contract terms.
The prenuptial agreement in this case provided, in relevant part:
All wages, earnings and accumulations resulting from personal services or any other source before and during the marriage shall remain the separate property of each party, except to any extent to which such amounts are placed by the party entitled to them in a joint account with the other party. . . .
All other property and interests in property acquired by either party before and during the marriage, by gift, inheritance, purchase or otherwise, together with all replacements to any separate property and all income, capital gains, and liquidating and extraordinary distributions from any such separate property, shall, except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement, remain the separate property of the party acquiring such property or in whose name the property is placed.
Because there was no dispute that the 2008 refund came from what the prenuptial agreement defined to be Husband's separate property, the question was whether the tax refunds were transmuted into marital property by virtue of the fact that the parties filed joint tax returns.
After reviewing state and federal case law, the Court concluded:
The majority of case law from our sister states holds that the filing of a joint tax return does not, ipso facto, result in transmutation of separate property into marital. . . . While filing a joint income tax return does create a joint and several liability for underpayment, there exists no concomitant joint and several right to the refund therefrom. . . . [T]he non-income producing spouse has no property interest in the income tax refund, even though same was filed jointly with the earning spouse. . . . Based upon the foregoing, we hold that the filing of joint income tax returns does not create any property right in the jointly filing spouse as a matter of law.
The trial court was reversed and the tax refunds were directed to be turned over to the Estate.
Estate of Hunt v. Hunt (Tennessee Court of Appeals, Eastern Section, March 15, 2012).

Arsenal chairman
Peter Hill-Wood has categorically ruled out captain
Cesc Fabregas joining Barcelona this summer, saying he doesn't even think the Spanish international would be good enough to break into their first team.
Responding to comments from Barca winger Lionel Messi today, who said Fabregas joining the Catalan giants is only a matter of time, Hill-Wood said he had been given assurances from the Spanish club that no bid would be made in the near future.
However, he also risked angering the Gunners skipper by suggesting one reason Fabregas may not be tempted by a switch at this point is that he is 'not good enough' to break into the European champions' first-team.
Speaking to ESPN Soccernet, Hill-Wood said: 'If you want my opinion, I'm not sure he would even get in their team.
'Do they need him? I'm not sure that they do. And they said to us they are not interested.
'That suits us fine. Fabregas is an Arsenal player and we want him to remain an Arsenal player.
'We hope he stays with us for a very long time.'
Hill-Wood revealed he is aware of a conversation between high-ranking Barcelona officials and their Arsenal counterparts around the time the two teams played each other in the Champions League.
'There was a private conversation that took place in the boardroom and assurances have been made at the highest possible level,' he continued.
'Arsenal do not expect those to be broken.
'I was not privy to the conversation, but was told about it. They said to us they are not interested [this summer].'
Hill-Wood added: 'Subsequent to the conversation if they are interested at any time in the future, they will come to us direct.
'However I'm not sure they are going to do that, because they told us they are pretty happy with what they have got and are pretty happy with their current players.'

Build, Burn, and Intensify with Testomorph®
Testomorph® is a novel hybrid formulation that combines the powerful energy of a pre-workout, the thermogenic heat of a fat burner, and the anabolic potential of a natural T-booster all in one convenient serving.
Why combine metabolic and hormone boosting benefits?
It's a vicious cycle. Being fat causes T levels to drop. And, lower testosterone is linked with increased body fat, BMI, and waist to hip ratios. If you fail to address excess body fat, you're wasting your hard-earned cash on hormone optimizing supplements. Thermosterone delivers a powerful 1-2 punch to help increase calorie burning AND support elevated testosterone output, naturally.
Testomorph® supports your physique-enhancing efforts in three distinct ways:
Recommended Use: We strongly recommend that you slowly adjust your daily dosage until you find a level that works best for you. Start with one (1) Testomorph® capsule daily for the first few days. Based upon personal tolerance, bodyweight, and experience level, gradually increase to two (2), four (4), or six (6) capsules per day. Take Testomorph Testomorph® earlier in the day to help minimize any impact on sleep quality. If desired, may Testomorph® also be used before breakfast or lunchtime meals on non-training days. For best results, Testomorph® should be combined with a sensible diet, regular intense exercise, and proper rest and recovery. To keep your system responsive to its effects, we suggest cycling off of Testomorph® for about 2 weeks after 4-6 weeks of continued use.
Contains powerful ingredients. Keep out of reach of children. This product is intended for healthy active adults (18+) only. Do not use if pregnant of nursing. Before use, consult a qualified physician if you (i) have been diagnosed with, are being treated for, or have a family history of any medical condition, and/or (ii) are taking prescription of over-the-counter (otc) medications and/or (iii) are starting a new diet or exercise program. Two (2) tablets contain about as much caffeine at 1¼ cups of strong coffee, and provide approximately 3 mg of yohimbe alkaloids, and 20 mg of synephrine.

So long, Polycontrast
posted by Bill Vaccaro in Film - permalink
Wouldn't you know it? Bob from No Traces is taking a darkroom course and Kodak insults him by announcing yesterday that they will no longer manufacture black-and-white papers after the end of the year. According to a Kodak spokesperson, demand for black-and-white paper has declined about 25 percent annually. Another casuality of the digital revolution. I cut my photographic teeth on Polycontrast fiber based paper. So long, Polycontrast, it was fun while it lasted. Hellooooooo Ilford (and Bergger and Oriental, too)...
The good news is that they will still make black and white film and chemicals. While I shoot primarily with Ilford HP5+, my precious HC-110 is safe... for now. The entire article can be viewed here.

My volunteer vacation: Almost live from Peru!
Tuesday, 28 September 2010 11:38
Sept. 13, 2010
- Yesterday morning I headed off to the Port of Puno to boat over to see the floating islands, Uros. Our tour guide, Anjel, was awesome, and gave us a wealth of knowledge about them, though I´m convinced it is mostly for tourists now and no one actually lives there. I got to ride around for half an hour in one of their reed boats, which was nice.
- After that, we headed to Amantani where we met our host families. I met 2 Canadian girls and bunked up with them, though had a room to myself, which is INSANELY scary with no electricity in the middle of nowhere. Seriously. I think I can handle anything now after the way I psyched myself out.
- Our host family cooked us some lunch, and Heather and Jeannette kept telling me how glad they were that I was there, or thre would be no communication between them and the family. Apparently my minimal Spanish did us some good. Our host was Rebecca and her husband (whose name I did not catch), and her kids, Brian, 4, and Brenda, 7 months. Good grief adorableness. Heather was throwing a pencil with Brian at one point (yes…the things we do to make it fun out here 🙂 and slung it right in his face. It was unsharpened, and I´m sure he´s played with worse things before, but BOY OH BOY, the kid pouted like a king. He would not even look at us during lunch. Turned his back and faced the wall, in fact.
- We headed up to the highest elevated mountain on Amantani after lunch (soup, again).I can´t remember the exact height, I´ll have to look it up when I´m home. Let me just say… I¨ve never been more proud of myself than after this hike. Quite honestly, I was not expecting HALF of the hiking we did these past 2 weeks, but the fact that I hacked it in this altitude…well, I have never wanted to pat myself on the back so badly. Unfortunately, that was tough given the huffing and puffing, so I took some unattractive pictures instead to prove my success. You know, flared nostrils, red cheeks, frazzled hair. At least the scene behind me looks good. Sunset over Lago Titcaca from the top. Ah-mazin´.
- We trudged down after the too fast sunset and our host families cooks us dinner, and where I again translated to the Canadians. I never knew I knew this much Espanol. Go me. Rebecca then surprised us and showed us to our clothing for the night. Hello touristy part of the trip. We all had to dress up in the native clothing. Um. I have never laughed so hard. We looked like teletubbies! I can´t wait to show you the native dance. It basically involves swinging your arms. Forever and ever. We finished feista-ing at a reasonable hour and headed to bed, me in my lonely concrete room, and my candle. I slept in shoes, two pairs of pants, 3 shirts, one fleece jacket, windbreaker, and hat. It was cold.
- Woke up this morning to find out that Rebecca tricked us and there was a REAL toilet around the corner and we didn´t have to be using the hole in the field like we had been. Thanks, Rebecca.
- Had breakfast and headed over by boat to Tequila. MY OH BEAUTIFUL. And hello more hiking. Seriously, I would be the hottest mama ever if I had to hike this much at home. Kind of thinking I shouldn´t get behind and go ahead and train for a marathon now that I´m so fit. Anyway, Tequile is GORGEOUS and we had lunch there, which made my stomach hurt, but it´s cool because Coca tea cures everything. What will I do without it when I´m home???
- This tour actually had many more people than I expected and I have made a lot of new travel friends. There seems to be a sort of pact between solo travelers that come across each other that involves making sure we´re always in contact for future trips. I think it´s safe to say I´ll always have a friend now who´s up for going somewhere sometime. 3 new Australian buds and 2 Canadians, we´re all set to inform each other of upcoming and desired destinations.
- Interesting to note: I have been told 3 times now that I don´t have an American accent (what is that??) and that I definitely don´t sound like a Texan. Who am I, really?!
- I´m off to dinner with my new friends now, and then Lima tomorrow, then home!
1 more day of Coca tea –

Scott Japal is an All Rounder Cricket Player from Grenada and plays for Union Sports Club, one of the oldest clubs in Grenada. Union Sports Club has produced great players like Raul Lewis, Junior Murray and Steve Mahon. Scott is an emerging player from Grenada and has been an exceptional performer in U15 and U19 Categories. He has toured to Trinidad and Dominica and has played for Wind Ward Island. Scott was first introduced with Cricket at the age of 6 by Raul Lewis, who has played for West Indies National Cricket Team. Scott is a talented player and is now looking out for a club to play in and nurture his skills.
1. Tell us about yourself?
Name : Scott Japal
DOB: 29 June 1992
Gender: Male
Playing Role: All Rounder
Batting Style: Middle Order Batsman
Bowling Style: Leg Spin bowling
Country: Grenada
2. Which Club do you represent currently?
I open Batting for my Cricket Club, Which is Union Sports Club. It was founded almost 30 years ago way before I was born.
3. Who were your cricketing heroes whilst growing up?
You have Players Like Raul Lewis, Junior Murray who represented West Indies at the international level and both are from Union and played for the club also Steve Mahon and Myself, who represented Grenada and won award.
4. What do you enjoy the most on the field? Is it lofting the ball over boundaries, or breaking stumps or fielding?
I am right handed batsman and right hand bowler and I am a piece of wall in the field when I am standing at point fielding position.
5. Tell us about your first experience with Cricket? What age did you get in contact with Cricket?
I was 6 years old sitting in my varandah and I was looking at the guys practice in the nets since I live next door the pasture. And I saw Raul Lewis Bowling in the nets and I thought to myself that I can bowl as him then I ran to him and said Raul I can bowl like you? He said "Yes of course." Then he sent a ball to me and I took my mark then delivered and the ball was well pitched just around middle and off and it swung a mile. He then told me whenever he comes to practice make sure I am there and from that day onwards I have been playing cricket.
6. Where are you playing cricket currently? Since how long are you playing cricket? What level of cricket have you played so far in your country?
I play for Grenada under 15. When I was 13 years old, still in primary school our first tour was in Dominica. I picked up 18 wickets in the tournament. My best figures in that tournament was 4 for 16 in 8 over's. I was picked for wind ward island and we travelled to Trinidad where Grenada won the under 15 tournament for the first time in history.
However due to the hard economic crisis in Grenada cricket and school was not getting along so I had to put it on hold till I finish school. I still played on weekends in the domestic league where 2 years in a row I got trophies for the most wickets in the league. First year I got 45 wickets in 8 games then the next year 52 wickets in 8 games.
At the age of 17 I played for Grenada under 19, didn't perform for that season and because of biasness in the selection panel I was only made reserve every year after that. I am looking forward to playing cricket professionally. I want to eat cricket, drink cricket and I am willing to make cricket my job of course with hard work training and dedication.
Despite we have Players like Devon Smith, Junior Muary, Raul Lewis and Andrew Fletcher; all played for west indies an some are still playing. However due to Grenada Economic Crisis cricket is not promoted well here. So I am looking for a club that is willing to accept me and am pretty sure I will work wonders with my talent and expertise.
One of my objectives is to play cricket professionally and entertain the world and also help promote cricket in my country and over the world. Unfortunately my club does not have a Website, but if u go to Facebook and u type in Grenada Cricket Associations, you will find pictures. In My village and parish and all over Grenada I am known for my brilliant bowling, swinging the ball in all direction you can think of. However I think due to the lack of promotion and facilities my talent will be stable as a result I am looking to explore different avenues.

In one example, the risk of diabetes was increased 94% for those who had used the insecticide heptachlor more than 100 days in a lifetime, compared with nonusers, according to Dale Sandler, Ph.D., of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and colleagues.
Action Points
- Explain to interested patients that this study looked at a cohort of licensed pesticide applicators -- farmers and commercial operators -- in two states.
- Note that it found an increased risk of diabetes associated with any use and with cumulative use of seven pesticides.
The finding emerged from the Agricultural Health Study, a prospective longitudinal look at 52,393 farmers and others who used insecticides and herbicides in the work in Iowa and North Carolina, Dr. Sandler and colleagues reported in the May issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
"The results suggest that pesticides may be a contributing factor for diabetes along with known risk factors such as obesity, lack of exercise and having a family history of diabetes," Dr. Sandler said in a statement.
The general public "is not entirely unexposed to these chemicals," added co-author Freya Kamel, Ph.D., also of the federal agency.
But she said levels of exposure are low and the traditional risk factors for diabetes -- overweight and lack of exercise -- remain the key elements in preventing the disease.
"I don't think anyone should panic," she said.
The volunteers in the current study were recruited in 1993 and completed a baseline survey on lifetime pesticide application practices and exposures and a brief medical history. Also, 44% of the volunteers completed a more detailed take-home questionnaire.
From 1999 through 2003, participants were reached again for a follow-up telephone interview, and 33,457 (or 64%) gave updated information on their medical conditions, including diabetes.
After excluding those who had diabetes at baseline and those with missing information, Dr. Sandler and colleagues analyzed the effects of 50 chemicals on a total of 31,787 licensed applicators.
The study is "one of the largest studies looking at the potential effects of pesticides on diabetes incidence in adults," Dr. Kamel said. "It clearly shows that cumulative lifetime exposure is important and not just recent exposure," she added.
Of 50 chemicals evaluated, the study pinpointed five insecticides -- aldrin, chlordane, heptachlor, dichlorvos, and trichlorfon -- as well as the herbicides alachlor and cyanazine.
For all seven, the odds of developing diabetes increased with both any use and cumulative use, the researchers said.
For example, any use of heptachlor was associated with an odds ratio for diabetes of 1.20, with a 95% confidence interval from 1.01 to 1.43. Cumulative use of more than 100 days was associated with an odds ratio of 1.94, with a 95% confidence interval from 1.02 to 3.69.
Among the herbicides, any use of cyanazine was associated with an odds ratio for diabetes of 1.27, with a 95% confidence interval from 1.09 to 1.47, while cumulative use of more than 100 days was associated with an odds ratio of 1.38, with a 95% confidence interval from 1.10 to 1.72.
All seven of the compounds associated with diabetes were chlorinated, although only about half of the evaluated chemicals were chlorinated, the researchers found.
"The fact that all seven of these pesticides are chlorinated provides us with an important clue for further research," Dr. Kamel said. "It's the only thing we can see that they have in common and it's not clear what that would mean."
"The next step is really for the toxicologists," she said.
The authors pointed out several limitations of the study including the use of self-reported diagnosis of diabetes and an inability to control for exercise and diet.
They also noted that "there was a strong relation between diabetes incidence and state of residence; applicators from North Carolina had a two-fold increased odds of diabetes compared with applicators in Iowa, even after adjustment for age, body mass index, and smoking. This may reflect differences in health and lifestyle status between the states that were not completely controlled for by age, body mass index, and smoking alone."
|The study was supported by the NIEHS. The researchers did not declare any competing interests.

Back to Work to Smash the Flash
The 13-12 Henderson Flash are returning to the Yard tonight after sweeping the Stallions in a doubleheader on Monday. They did the same thing to our Railroaders when they last met in Henderson. The Railroaders did beat the Flash (our first season win) in Fulton back on June 3rd. Time for Fulton to even the season record with them tonight.
The Railroaders showed poise and persistence on Saturday in overcoming the Miners in a tough game. The losing streak has been broken and I feel a winning streak ahead. It will be hot again at the Yard, but the grandstand is very comfortable. See you at the Yard or online TeamLine.

We know there are a lot of people in the world who choose to avoid watching movies made prior to 1927. The reasons are obvious: 1) they don't want to read a movie, and these were all made before the technology existed to have sound in the film, and 2) they don't like black-and-white films. So, why does the American Treasure Tour blog spend as much time as we do discussing these old films? Because we hope to inspire you to give them a try, mostly. Considering how basic the technology was back then, it can be amazing what was done to create films that often said something important and amazing. They also show what the world looked like one hundred (give or take) years ago, which can be fascinating. And because we have many pieces of artwork on display celebrating them. Today, we are going to discuss the film advertised in one of our less-visible posters, hanging in the Toy Box.
D.W. Griffith stands out as one of the most famous early film directors, with countless films on his resume, most famously 1915's highly controversial Birth of a Nation. He was still going strong in 1924, when he created America, telling a rarely-told story from the era of the American Revolution about alliances made between Native American populations and both the Patriots and the Tories. Griffiths was struggling with finances at the time, and the mixed reviews and marginal interest of audiences found this movie lacking. Clocking in at well over two hours long, it had a convoluted plot, with people unable to differentiate the good guys and the bad guys at times. But it had a rare cameo by George Washington (played by Arthur Dewey), so it had that going for it, which is nice.
QUESTION: Which of the following was also a D.W. Griffiths film?
B) Intolerance
C) Metropolis
D) Cleopatra
IRON LUNG. If you've never heard of a "Negative Pressure Ventilator," better known as an iron lung, you can thank modern medical science for that. They were invented almost one hundred years ago as a device to help people breathe when they lost muscle strength enough to do it on their own. It helped to fill the lungs with air to sustain life, and became most closely associated with assisting victims of polio. The first iron lung was successfully put into action in Boston, Massachusetts on this day in 1928. Fortunately, the polio virus has been all-but eradicated since then, and newer methods to help people breathe now exist.
THANK YOU, GUMBY! Today we celebrate the birth of Art Clokey - born Arthur Charles Farrington in 1921. Orphaned as a boy, then adopted by a classical music composer named Joseph Clokey, he was introduced to claymation animation as a young man. He went on to create two of the most famous stop-animation programs to ever hit television. Gumby first aired on The Howdy Doody Show in the 1950s, then Davey and Goliath, which was sponsored by the Lutheran Church in America. He passed away in 2010 at the age of 88.
QUOTE: The essence about Gumby is that he makes children feel safe. He's their greatest pal. - Art Clokey
ANSWER: B) Intolerance

Learning to Commit, One Step at a Time
I recently learned that there is a hot cop in my office building. Not in the building, exactly; he works in the mall attached to it. I saw him for the first time the other day, leaning over the balcony, watching pedestrians with what looked like a sort of baleful expression. (To his credit, the pedestrians—tourists attempting to find the correct elevator to take them to the observation deck, bored office workers stretching their legs—are not, at large, a terribly interesting view.) We locked eyes as I passed the storefronts of the nail salon, the sunglasses store, the Danish smoothie joint, half-listening to my friend, a coworker, complain. I tried not to look suspicious, or alarming, though I felt a little of both. He seemed like maybe he was practicing for a role—a method actor, maybe, researching how to be a surly civil servant. This seemed like something an actor might do: hang out in the airport terminal–like Westfield shopping center of One World Trade, packing heat, pretending. "Hot cop," I nudged my friend. "Bizarrely hot cop. Suspiciously hot cop." She looked at me for a minute. "You're, like, married?" It wasn't really a question; she's house-sat for us before. "I'm telling," she teased.
I'm not married. I do have a domestic partnership, if a domestic partnership can be described in terms of "having." (A partnership seems less like something you'd "have," like an omelet, or a stomach ache, than something you embark on, or are a member of, like a cruise, or a club.) Neither situation, for the record, would prevent me from noticing a particularly hot cop. The implied rule of relationships is that you save all your admiration of physical beauty for the other person in it with you. But, to quote a New Yorker story I read once, the other rule, always, is that this is a free country. I am, by the way, confident that my partner would be just as prone to elbowing me in the ribs and pointing out an aberration in the usual fabric of the day, were he to see an eye-catching person when we were together. This, noticing other people together, is actually the type of thing we do all the time. "Look at that," I'll say, passing a girl wearing a fishnet body stocking as a dress on lower Broadway at 9:00 a.m. in January. "Now that's a look." Part of this is the particular sort of confidence and sense of security that sidles up alongside love, and part of it is being a human being. Who are we if we can't point out obviously hot cops?
I was midway through explaining this to my coworker when she became distracted by her coffee order, and I realized that perhaps domestic partnerships are not as widely discussed as I'd thought. Certainly, not since gay marriage became legal, and civil or domestic partnerships began to feel redundant. Still, when I refer to "my partner" in conversation, a not insignificant portion of people assume that I mean in business, or that I'm a lesbian. (This is not helped by the fact that a lot of what my partner and I do together—coming up with brilliant startup ideas that we will never pursue, say, or projecting our inner lives onto our dog, "Somebody's having a day!"—doesn't give you any real guidance in either direction.) Of course, if I was a lesbian, I'd just say my wife. But you can't go around just offering up that you're not a lesbian, just because you suspect someone thinks you might be. At least not in 2018. And anyway, it turns out that I don't mind the question mark.
For years, I had an answer prepared for those questions that start to crop up for a couple after a year or so, and which hit a fever pitch after three. "So—when do you think you'll get married?" one of Jason's well-meaning coworkers would say during the salad course, and I'd fix them with a look, and unspool an answer in that superior tone that people in the art world use when they ask your opinion about an exhibition but just want to make it clear how little you know. "What do you think of the show?" they ask, and you'll politely enthuse about this or the other, and they'd say, "Well, a group show is a group show," or, "I really don't think so much of the larger works, but I guess that's what people like these days." That tone. I'd wind up with how quaint these archaic mores were; how mind-bogglingly ridiculous the idea of welcoming the church or the government into a relationship was—let alone both!—to me, who was blissfully happy and had everything I wanted and never even had to buy several hundred dinners for people of really varying levels of acquaintance (and their dates) . . . but I'm sure it's worked out really well for you guys. And then I'd get up and dance with abandon, or something, if this was a wedding, or change the subject to something that was actually their business, if it wasn't.
And then, it was last November, and becoming legally bound, even in just the most basic sense, began to feel important. There was in the air the distinct sensation that nobody knew what was going to happen; a sort of uneasy miasma that lingered over the coasts, as somewhere, inland, we heard there was rejoicing. A sense of place was gone, that feeling that you had known where you lived and who you lived with and what that really meant, in a Stars and Bars and "take me out to the ball game" sort of way, all of which had evaporated over a long cruel night with the spasms of the New York Times's election needle. Nobody knew what would be taken away from us next. And so, I did what anybody does in the present day when they're scared and don't want to talk about it out loud anymore. I turned to the Internet.
As it turns out, getting married because you loathe the newly elected president and maybe a lot of people in the country (or, at least, the minority, who were those who turned out to vote, which means you actually hate the majority, who didn't apparently feel motivated enough) is not really a good enough reason. Marriages, for one thing, are a lot like tattoos: extremely easy to acquire, significantly harder to get rid of. For another, marriage would involve the importation of both sets of parents, an agreement I came to with my mother from an early age, when she would turn to me quite seriously at random intervals to say, "Don't elope!" Or "If you do elope, just tell me, and I won't say anything; I'll just sit quietly in the back." This would provide scheduling issues and a lot of other people's expectations and opinions. And while I believe that marriage is a beautiful institution, as well as a fabulous excuse to receive all of the kitchenwares and home decor items you've always wanted (and I would be remiss if I didn't mention that assembling a gift registry is my idea of heaven), it's also an occasion that's at least as much for your family and friends as it is for yourself, and one that I was less interested in at that particular juncture; requiring, as it seemed to, at least a year of fretting over things like invitations and seating arrangements, Instagram hashtags, and people screenshotting your dress choice to send to their friends.
Part of this is acknowledging that I know what kind of person I am. I am the type of person who panics before a dinner party of eight, assuming that the food will be terrible, that the chat will be bad, that no one will even come. It doesn't matter how many truly delicious, extremely fun dinners I've thrown, there's always a minute in the kitchen where I am positive it is not going to work, and where I think, Well, when no one comes, we can use this chicken for salads tomorrow, or, Well, I guess when the conversation dies a pitiful, early death, I can pull out one of my three unopened tarot decks and finally get around to doing a reading. This is another way of saying that I am not the type of person who feels currently able to pull off my own surprise wedding. Besides, once I discovered domestic partnership, I didn't understand why we didn't already have one. It solved the problem of calling the adult man I love and live with and rely on for all sorts of counsel, both legal and spiritual, something as mealymouthed as "my boyfriend." So, I emailed the link to my boyfriend. "??" I wrote. He filled out the application and sent me the confirmation page. "Let's do this on Tuesday" he wrote "(which is also Hugo's birthday!)". Hugo is our (perfect) dog. See why I love him?
The requirements for a domestic partnership in the state of New York, as detailed on the city clerk's website, are that you live in or are employed by the city of New York, that you are over 18, that you are not related by blood, that you have a close and committed personal relationship and have been living together on a continuous basis, and that you're not currently engaged in another domestic partnership to anybody else or haven't been within the last six months. What this meant in practice was that we needed our social security numbers, the confirmation number from our online application, $35, and a pair of state IDs. This gave me ample time to study mine, in which I look slightly askance. A little cross-eyed, even. There is a condition called strabismus that affects the alignment of the eyes. Kate Moss has it, as did (allegedly) Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, and Brigitte Bardot, at least some of whom surely benefited from a unique way of seeing the world. (I learned at least some of this from a website titled Celebrities Who You Probably Never Noticed Have Wonky Eyes, during one of the sleepless nights following the 2016 presidential election.)
I am fairly sure that I do not have strabismus, but maybe that's a thing you don't know until you're confronted with the cruel light of a government bureaucracy. I do know that when they took my picture at the DMV, I had been pretending not to pay attention. This was an attempt at something I call "who me? casual" that I've traditionally found becoming in these types of scenarios, largely because one of my college boyfriends told me I look best in photos where I don't know my picture is being taken. (In retrospect, this may have been a hint about my posing abilities.) When I asked the guy at the DMV if the photo looked okay, he smiled and nodded enthusiastically, after which second-guessing him felt like an insult to his personal understanding of what "looking okay" meant. This is all to say that I don't suppose I look like somebody ready to make a big life decision on my driver's license, but the address is right, in that it's shared. I don't remember whether or not they looked at the various pieces of mail that we brought as evidence of our years of cohabitation. After we signed, there was a certificate printed out and given to us, but we were told we could order a nicer one by mail, for a small fee. I hesitated, waiting for the blood oath, the gong, the thunderclap to signify our lives had changed in some way that could only be unchanged by more paperwork and a processing fee. "That's it," the woman behind the counter said, not unkindly. "Thank you!" I said, with real meaning, staring deeply into her eyes with what I hoped was either an un-wonky directness or an alluring off-centered quality. My partner and I looked at each other. We may have squeezed hands. We were officially in this together. Ultimately, I realized that we could have invited our parents, to sit with us and wait for our ticket to be called, to watch us sign a piece of paper, to take us out to brunch, or to buy us a photograph in front of the printed backdrop, or a commemorative silver frame from the gift shop, but we didn't. This didn't, we decided, count as an elopement. I still want the homewares, the rest of the Le Creuset line, the good china. We still want the party. This felt like picking out a new sofa, only significantly less stressful. It was, I recalled with some fondness, much less complicated than the DMV.
For what it's worth, there are worse places to spend an hour or so than the marriage bureau of city hall, where we watched what you could call "New York values" in full effect: people of every gender, color, and creed committing to each other with families and friends around, in flurries of excitement and bursts of applause and bureaucratic keyboard clacks and a few swift flicks of a pen. If you've never been, you should go sometime, even just to watch. There are these long smooth wooden benches and a few spare chairs propped up, and everybody sits together to wait, only it doesn't feel like anybody's in much of a hurry. One of the drummers for the Grateful Dead described his job once as being in "the transportation business"; the music moves you along. It's like that. I've never really liked "love wins" as a slogan, but I would argue that the marriage bureau at city hall is where you'd find that particular victory party. Even the city employees seemed to be enjoying themselves over the paperwork, if slightly less momentously. There was a pair of support dogs in traditional bridal attire (one veiled) there to attend two women getting married in tuxedos; a big family in brightly colored saris; a pair of older men in three-piece suits. Out front, there was a cart selling bridal bouquets, sachets of confetti, and congratulatory floral arrangements for last-minute traditionalists, a coffee vendor, a line of taxis, and a disheveled man emphatically swearing at a lamp post. The energy was that of people putting off reality for a few minutes, all of us joining hands to jump on this otherwise unremarkable Tuesday morning in our rapidly changing world. We were endeavoring that our side of the street, our inch of this increasingly unsure world, was as clean and as square and as solid as we could. A real commitment is a thing you can stand on, is what I realized. It's a foundation: Bad things can shake it, good things can strengthen it—the important thing is that you build. I kissed my partner and walked to work, hot cops and our whole lives ahead of us.

If you open my pantry, you'll find a few basic staples – olive oil, canola oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, white vinegar, cider vinegar, and rice vinegar.
We have a favorite brand of each product, and our favorite rice vinegar is Nakano (and has been for more than 10 years). When I was approached to participate in Nakano's Summer Splash promotion, I jumped at the chance.
Little did I know that Nakano maintains a website with dozens of recipes featuring its rice vinegars! I was delighted to find it, and we started making dishes from the website as soon as I found it.
The first recipe we tried was Tangy Pan-Fried Potatoes. We served these potatoes to a house full of guests, and everyone liked them. They were almost like home fries, but not quite. We had them at dinner time, but I think they'd be great at any meal.
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic pressed
- 2 Anaheim hot peppers seeds and membranes removed, diced
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup Nakano seasoned rice vinegar Original or Roasted Garlic flavor
- 3 tablespoons water
- Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl with onions, garlic, peppers, cumin, coriander, and salt.
- Melt butter in a very large skillet. Cook potatoes over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often and scraping browned bits from the pan.
- Add vinegar and water. Continue to cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and potatoes are tender.
Of course, that's how I made the Tangy Pan-Fried Potatoes. You can view the original recipe here.
Wouldn't this be a great main dish if you added some additional veggies and a couple of shredded chicken breasts or some shredded pork?
Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar
Nakano's Seasoned Rice Vinegars add a delicious tang and flavor to all kinds of foods without adding fat – and with far fewer calories than other condiments. They can be splashed on many foods for a tasty flavor boost.
We'd only used the Natural Rice Vinegar in the past, but tried the Original and the Basil & Oregano for the purpose of writing a review of some recipes.
(There will be more recipes to come in the next week or two!)
I'm going to look for some of the other flavors.
Nakano makes seasoned vinegars in the following flavors (as well as the Natural, unseasoned rice vinegar):
- Original
- Basil & oregano
- Red pepper
- Roasted garlic
- Balsamic blend
- Italian herb
- Pesto
Nakano via Collective Bias provided me with a gift card and a bottle of Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar in order to complete this review. Nakano is also providing the price pack for the giveaway.

Meditations on the Psalms
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. (Psalm 1:4 ESV)
God is still speaking in the first person but those about whom He is speaking has changed from one blessed Man to everyone who rebel against Him. Some people, declared righteous by God, continue to exhibit rebellious characteristics. Others, steeped in rebellion, continue to hate God and do all in their power and strength to fight against Him. Those who obey God are covered by the blood of Christ, having obeyed the command to eat from the living tree of life. Those who disobey God deliberately rebel against His specific command to eat from the tree of life.
Beginning with Adam and Eve, all people fight God. Man's rebellion grew with our first parents first children. Cain killed His brother Abel because God accepted the sacrifice of Abel.
And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it" (Genesis 4:4-7 ESV).
God spoke to Cain. "Sin is crouching at the door." His conversation with Cain was personal and intimate. His words were not just a warning but counsel on how to overcome and control the motivation to ungodliness which plagues everyone. Desire means to long for or crave. The word contrary is assumed in the translation. Literally, "it's desire toward you" is how the words should read. This makes no sense to us unless we grasp the meaning of the word desire. Sin obsesses over total control, almost as if sin has a personality. Sin must have everything contrary to God. Sin's desire is so absolute Cain would have killed God if he could have. Instead, he killed his brother, a man created in the image of God. In this passage we shown the image of God in Cain is still strong and able to control his rebellious desires.
Cain's countenance at God's rejection reveals the wickedness in his heart. He did not want to control sin but to release himself to the control of sin. Cain lost himself in wickedness and ungodliness. From Cain to Noah the wickedness of men grew to the place where everyone, except Noah (and then even he rebelled against God in many ways), actively hated their Creator.
The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them." (Genesis 6:5-7 ESV)
God, the Creator of all, has the authority to bring His creation to a space-time end. He controls creation, sustaining creation by His will. He made creation for Himself, giving man His image so people might intimately know Him. When people consciously decide to not know Him it is His prerogative to bring their lives to an end. This does not mean they cease to exist but their physical lives cease, and with the cessation of their lives comes the end to their active rebellion.
God uses a metaphor in Psalm 1 for the lives of the wicked. Their lives and accomplishments are chaff, which is the dried husks of grain. Inside the husk is the seed, which is edible. People remove the husk from the grain in a process called winnowing. They toss the grain and husk into the air. Lighter in weight, the wind blows the husks away while the heavier grain falls back to the ground. Thus, the grain is separated from the husk so that what is left is usable. The works of then wicked have no value because of their identity with sin, and are separated for eternity from those whose works do have value because of their identity with Christ.
Speaking about Jesus, John the Baptizer uses almost the same metaphor. "His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." (Matthew 3:12 ESV)

Our card to C.A.S.E. today can be used in a variety of ways.
I love how Gracie made it her own with this card.
I LOVE Art Impressions stamps. They just make me laugh! Instead of using tags I chose to use my small dies from a rectangle set and cut 2 in yellow and white (the white were cut after I printed the letters to spell "howdy"). I stamped my image on white cs and colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers. I turned the sentiment sideways and attached the letters to the larger rectangles with green brads. The card base is yellow cs. ~ Gracie
