Guerrero, 39, dressed in blue jail clothing, said nothing after San Diego Superior Court Judge Steven Stone ordered the commitment to last up to three years, but he can return to court sooner if doctors and a judge find he has regained his mental competence.
Stone ordered that psychiatric medications be administered to Guerrero involuntarily at Patton State Hospital as he was unable to make an informed decision about taking them. Criminal proceedings are suspended.
Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey told Stone that Guerrero was uncooperative with a doctor in jail and he would not give him much information for his report.
Guerrero's attorney, Dan Tandon, said the doctor reviewed Guerrero's "extensive mental health history" to help him make a decision about his mental competence.
"The court did what he did based on the (psychiatric) report," said Harvey afterwards.
Stone noted it had been 99 days since Guerrero was arrested and charged with three murders and two attempted murders in attacks upon homeless men while they were sleeping.
Guerrero was last at Patton State Hospital in 2012 when another judge found him mentally incompetent to face a probation revocation for a robbery conviction. Guerrero pushed a 55-year-old homeless woman down and stole her bicycle in 2009.
Harvey previously said a railroad spike was plunged into the head and chest of Angelo DeNardo, 53, who was attacked where he was sleeping under the Interstate 5 Bridge near Mission Bay on July 3. An autopsy determined he died before his body was set on fire.
Harvey said railroad spikes were used in the deaths of Shawn Longley, 41, in Ocean Beach on July 4, and Dionicio Vahidy, 23, who was found downtown July 6 and died in a hospital on July 10.
The prosecutor said one surviving victim had a railroad spike cut into his sinus cavity and he was left blind in the Midway District. The fifth victim in Golden Hill was also attacked with a railroad spike. She said police found railroad spikes and a mallet in Guerrero's downtown apartment, along with identification from two victims.
Special circumstance charges alleging Guerrero committed multiple murders have been filed which could allow the DA's office to seek the death penalty if that option is pursued over a life term without parole.

Neighbor is a squarish, rounded sans serif typeface with a friendly disposition. It celebrates the inherent warmth of wood type, but with a distinctly modern sensibility. Its underlying square-based structure combined with its attractive curves seek to bring balance to the resulting forms. Developed in response to a desire for less rigid conformation to the square, its forms are quite energetic, warm, and confidently rounded. Neighbor is ideal for headlines and editorial publications, but is capable of clarity at smaller sizes. A wide range of weights from an airy light weight to a robust ultra black provide a wide range of expressive voices.

Disabled photographer, Kev Howard's exhibition d-FORMED
Saltburn-based Kev Howard's social documentary and observational photography has reached global audiences for more than a decade. He's photographed hundreds of bands, poets, artists and demonstrations in that time – with a photo of Benjamin Zephaniah appearing in The Independent, and his photo of Saltburn-based writer Carmen Marcus gracing the cover of her critically acclaimed debut novel How Saints Dieearlier this summer.
Howard is also an accomplished musician, and has travelled the world as a didgeridoo player, appearing in an Australian Rock Opera plus festivals in Holland, Germany, Belgium and America.
Howard's latest solo exhibition d-FORMED, help attract nearly 30,000 visitors to Middlesbrough's Dorman Museum at the beginning of 2017. Following the positive response, Teesside University's Constantine Gallery will be exhibited the work.
The exhibition sees Howard turn the camera on himself, exploring his lived experience of Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) – a term used to describe over 300 conditions that cause multiple curved joints in areas of the body at birth. Howard has had 55 major operations as a result of AMC. With each new operation shifting his centre of balance, it's meant that Howard has had to learn to walk 22 times.
What inspired you to put this exhibition together?
"A whole range of things really, everything from growing up in a generation where, in my opinion, disability rights are often just given lip service. So I decided to chart my own history, found that my body has its own story to tell, and the exhibition is based around that.
The reaction to the exhibition earlier this year was incredibly positive and, amidst all the uplifting feedback, it's inspired Louise Logan to work with me on this Teesside University display. Louise is a PhD student whose work explores the varying different perceptions of disability, and she is inviting members of the public to join a focus group to help aid her research.
In doing so, she's helped transform the exhibition into a project that may, somewhere along the line, help make a difference to the way that millions of disabled people are treated in future generations. She has already established focus groups with some students, but is keen to attract people from the wider community to get as broad a mix of opinions and perceptions as possible."
Talk us through some of the exhibition, and the inspiration behind the photos.
The Mask
"This was the last thing I always saw before being anaesthetised for surgery. It instilled great fear and panic, which intensified up to the age of 8. The anaesthetic gas smelled ferrous and toxic. I knew the next stage was like the sound of a billion bees buzzing inside my head, and then a kaleidoscope of colours which came from nowhere. Then I remember a deep blackness, which fell into a pinpoint of circular light. At 8 years old my mindset changed, and the fear was replaced by a sense of 'adventure,' a coping mechanism that stayed with me right the way through to the very last surgery."
Scarification in Abstract:
"This image highlights the scarification of multiple surgeries in the same area. This part of the foot has areas of hypersensitivity and extreme nerve damage.I really wanted to show the sensual curvature of the foot, but also the extremes within one scar. Where the scar finishes it is light, hardly noticeable. But, just a couple of inches away, it is heavy, gnarly and extreme, with an almost reptilian-like texture."
Thin Red Line:
"This a very simple image that represents one of the most severe surgeries that I've had. The area was operated on 22 times over a nine-year period, and turned the bottom part of my left leg from facing backwards to facing forwards.A complex set of procedures involved the breaking and resetting of individual bones within the foot and leg, and completely removing the fibula, allowing the limb to be gradually rotated over a period of years. This image obviously downplays the severity of the procedure. And by this point, aged 8, I had adopted a coping strategy of 'adventure' instead of fear when it came to surgery."
Abstract d-FORMED:
"Here, I've hidden the flesh with various coloured latex and photographed it against a plain coloured backdrop, basically showing the limbs in coloured sculptural forms. I'm also expressing that, although we all have this basic form, some of us are very different in terms of our body shape – and asks people to think about why we often see beauty as skin deep or not.
"Basically, we live in an age when what is perceived as 'normal' is, by and large, unobtainable by the majority of people. We are constantly being fed images of a particular body shape and size, which is having a major effect in society in terms of self-esteem, well-being and acceptance. Thankfully, more and more people in the public eye are fighting back against this body-shaming and having to be 'perfect' all the time. We need to accept who and what we are in terms of how we look, and celebrate our own individual self."
Blood on Their…
"It was great to see Prince Harry and Barack Obama at the Invictus Games and, like the Paralympics, to see disabled people and their athletic achievements shining out on the world stage. But it would be even better to have the same level of equality and social inclusion that everybody else can take for granted on a day-to-day basis.
This image is my own response to both this and the previous Government's lambasting of people with impairments, ill health and mental health issues – something that cuts across all the main parties. Successive policies and cuts in funding, particularly the loss of the Independent Living Fund and mental health budgets, have created an ongoing crisis for people in need of support.
"This is not only causing needless stress and anxiety to some of the most vulnerable people in our society, but people are actually dying as a result! Due to changes in the welfare system and the cruel use of sanctions, over 2,800 vulnerable people died within six weeks of a Work Capability Assessment from January 2011 to February 2014. And in the same period, around 10,600 people died within six months of being found 'fit for work.' Those figures had to be dragged out of the Government and, if anything, the situation is getting much worse.
"In fact, earlier this summer the UN described the Government's welfare cuts as creating a 'human catastrophe' for disabled people in the UK. The thing is, everyone can see this if they look closely enough so, if Prince Harry and Barack Obama would fancy banging a few politician's heads together and actually making a real difference, I'd be very happy to sit down with them and have a chat about this. Anyone got their number? No?"
Kev Howard's d-FORMED is on at Constantine Gallery, ground floor of Middlesbrough Tower at Teesside University, Middlesbrough. Wednesday 15 November until Friday 8 December. 8am-6pm. Free admission.

How I Struggled to Belong in Japan
My grandparents moved to Japan from South Korea before the Second World War, and both of my parents were born and raised in Japan. I was, too. However, because of my family origins in South Korea, most people in Japan did not see me as being Japanese, even though I have a Japanese name, my first language is Japanese, and I went to school in Japan. Even when I was a little girl, I realized that I was not considered as being purely Japanese. My dad said to me as I got older, "Here in Japan you cannot be a teacher, or a doctor, and you cannot work at a government job." I wanted to be a teacher at the time, and I felt that my dad had ended that dream, but I still wanted to be Japanese!
It took about seven years to get my Japanese citizenship and when the process was complete, I was 27 years old. I felt, however, as if nothing had changed. Even with citizenship, I realized that I would never be considered fully Japanese. Also, it was too late for me to begin a career in Japan. Usually young people there graduate from high school at 18, graduate from university at 22, and then find a first job the same year. If, for whatever reason, you cannot follow this usual path, your adult life in Japan is not likely to be a happy one. My life was not following this path at all. So, I decided to leave and see other countries.
I found a work-holiday visa program, offering choices in New Zealand and Canada. Canada was a very popular choice and there was a lottery system in effect. I made my application and was a winner in the lottery for a one-year placement in Canada.
Here are 13 often-overlooked reasons it's awesome to live in Canada!

"Timely advise is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket". Proverbs 25:11
This week I heard the words "I'm there for you". No matter what the circumstance, God wants us to be encouraging to others.
Whether it is preparing a meal for a new mom, watching a child for a few hours or simply saying kind words are all simple gestures that make a huge impact. What if we followed these simple gestures everyday? I remember at one time in my life I would pray for a friend and during the day send them a quick note to let them know I prayed for them. For me this was so fulfilling and the response I received was so rewarding. Knowing that someone prayed for me without telling them my prayer request is so much more powerful than asking someone to pray for me.
I hope this card and the words "I'm there for you" inspire similar thoughts for you.
Today's card was made with: Stampin' Up! Whisper White, Pretty in Pink and Close to Cocoa card stock, Absolutely Fabulous stamp set, stampin' dimensionals, Copic markers, ribbon and sewing machine.

Last week, I held a giveaway of an Amazon Kindle Fire to start the celebration of Running with Miles turning two. In order to enter the giveaway, participants had to state what they would like to see from the blog in 2014.
Let me tell you – you all did a great job! Seriously, there were a lot of excellent ideas! It is a big help to see what some of the readership likes to read about so I can be a help to you in those areas. By far, the biggest request (32 times) was for more trip reports. That is great to hear! I do have some races coming up this year so will be having more trip reports highlighting those. There are many bloggers that do excellent reviews of flight products and hotels so I will not try to just repeat what they have to offer. Instead, I will do my best to have more trip reports that bring the whole trip into perspective – the booking, the travel, the stays, the destination, and the race. Hopefully, 2014 will see me being able to offer a lot more helpful of a resource to all the readers and the additional readers.
Speaking of resource, I will be working hard over the next few weeks to provide more resource pages to the blog. So, stay tuned!
Anyway, on to the winner of the Amazon Kindle Fire! It is Jimmy with his comment for "Trip reports are always good!"
Thanks to everyone who participated and stay tuned for another big giveaway this week!

In one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons, a local Springfield theater group remakes the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire as a musical. The musical Oh, Streetcar! turns Blanche DuBois's famous line in the play -- "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers" -- from an ironic and tragic lament into a sappy, upbeat closing number that begins, "You can always depend on the kindness of strangers." The lyric "A stranger's just a friend you haven't met" sounds like it was penned not by Tennessee Williams but rather Tennessee Tuxedo.
A newly announced policy change suggests that the College Board has joined Blanche DuBois in depending on the kindness of strangers.
Several weeks ago a friend and loyal ECA reader emailed me with a possible column topic. In August, after administering the new SAT for his students receiving extended time, he couldn't find the form he normally fills out to receive a stipend for himself and other proctors. After searching the SAT Guide for Nonstandard Administration and being directed to the College Board website, he learned for the first time that there has been a change in policy. The College Board will no longer pay an honorarium to school staff proctoring an SAT administration during the school week.
The new policy apparently affects only school personnel administering the SAT or SAT subject tests during the school day. Testing administered on a weekend, before or after the school year (June or August), or by proctors who are not members of the school staff are all eligible for an honorarium.
A College Board spokesman confirmed the change in policy in a posting last week on the NACAC Exchange, suggesting that the motivation for the change was the desire to be in compliance with state laws as well as school and district policies that prevent salaried staff from "double-dipping" by receiving an honorarium while also being paid for doing their regular jobs. The College Board has not responded to an ECA request for examples of state laws informing the policy change.
At first glance this appears to be another instance of a nonprofit tightening its belt in response to the challenging philanthropic climate. But the College Board is hardly a typical nonprofit organization, with an annual "profit" (revenue minus expenses) in the vicinity of $100 million. Outlays for test proctors are probably not going to put the College Board out of business or lead to layoffs or cuts in executive compensation. So it's unlikely that the motivation for the policy change is driven by economics, unless you happen to be one of those cynical folks who believe that every College Board decision is driven by economics.
The College Board justification for the change seems rooted in concern over legal issues from individuals double-dipping and being paid by both the school and the College Board. I am not an expert on the legal ramifications, but from an ethical perspective, double-dipping creates the potential for conflict of interest. Avoiding conflict of interest is one of the ethical principles that's been added to the new NACAC SPGP: Code of Ethics and Professional Practices [1]. But does administering an SAT during school time constitute conflict of interest?
The answer is maybe. As a test administrator or proctor, are you acting as an agent for your school or for the College Board? Are you serving your students or the testing agency? The answer is probably both, but in the vast majority of cases any conflict of interest would be small indeed, not even close to the level of conflict of interest demonstrated by agents overseas who are receiving payment both from college clients and individual student clients. Serving as a test proctor or a test-center administrator, whether during the school day or on a Saturday, is a potential conflict of interest, and that potential for conflict of interest does not disappear just because you are not receiving remuneration.
I find it interesting that the College Board refers to payments to proctors as "honoraria." An honorarium implies a gift rather than payment for services rendered, and that raises more fundamental questions about how the College Board views its relationship with those who administer the SAT.
A standing joke in my school is that all of us are assumed to work for the development office, no matter what our responsibilities may be. But is that a joke when it comes to the College Board? Do officials there assume that all of us who work as educational first responders ultimately work for them? Does being a College Board member carry with it an obligation to serve as a cog in its standardized testing machine? Does the College Board view test-center administrators and proctors as employees, independent contractors or servants?
The friend who originally contacted me about the policy change described the College Board's attitude as "audacity," a word that would have made a good SAT vocabulary word in previous iterations of the test. He points out that the College Board expects that schools will provide -- and underwrite -- the cost of administering the SAT, from providing space to providing computers to covering costs for security. He and others who posted on the NACAC exchange have also observed that honoraria for proctoring cover only testing time, but not prep time or the time spent completing tons of paperwork.
Any policy change has unanticipated consequences. I hope this will open a conversation about the assumptions the College Board operates under with regard to testing. If there are potential legal and ethical issues with school personnel receiving an honorarium for administering testing during the school day, then school personnel probably shouldn't be administering on school days, and perhaps not at all. The College Board should be responsible for overseeing test administrations, from paying independent supervisors and proctors to paying for rental of school facilities where testing is done. That's a discussion worth having, but I'm not holding my breath.
Depending on the kindness of strangers as a business plan works only as long as strangers don't know you well enough to stop wanting to be kind.

A standard critique of many losing generals throughout history is that they were inordinately focused on winning the last war. Devising their strategy and the tactics to refight battles in the past, they ignored changes and new developments that fundamentally changed the terrain.
The Republican party is caught in this trap, facing a chaotic fight for the party's nomination that is largely the result of its own missteps.
Setting aside the Trump phenomenon, which is admittedly almost impossible, the unmistakable trend in current polling for the nomination is that the closer a candidate is perceived to be to the national party leadership, the less support they have from Republican voters.
The top two candidates in the RealClearPolitics average of polls are Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. In the latest Quinnipiac poll, released Thursday, the two candidates command 40 percent of support out of a crowded field of 17 candidates. Their support is strong even across the entire ideological spectrum of the Republican party. Carson, for example, does as well among "very conservative" Republicans as he does among "liberal" Republicans.
The Republicans in D.C. are still consumed with concerns about "tea party" Republicans, but the base electorate has already moved on. Every wing of the Republican party is looking outside of Washington for leadership.
The genuine "outsiders" in the race; Trump, Carson, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz, together earn 47 percent support in the RCP average of polls. In the most recent individual poll, these four earn 52 percent support.
Jeb Bush, who is the consummate establishment candidate, is stuck around 7 percent in national polls. Marco Rubio, a Bush-like candidate with more rhetorical skills, is also mired around 7 percent. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has until very recently downplayed his potential outside status, has fallen from an early perch near the top of the GOP field to the back of the pack.
National Republicans underestimate how furious the base of the party is with its leadership in Washington. The extent to which outsiders are dominating the national polls is the clearest proxy of this. Here's an even more basic one; candidates who attack frontrunner Donald Trump fall in the polls, while those that attack "Washington" rise in the polls.
National Republicans are adept at explaining ad naseum the legislative or procedural hurdles to reversing Obama's agenda. What angers voters, though, is their lack of urgency in challenging Obama. Voters, rightly, feel that Obama is trying to fundamentally change the nation and take this threat far more seriously than Republicans in Washington.
It is nothing short of political malpractice that Republicans put more effort into giving Obama expanded authority to negotiate a secret trade deal than dismantling any part of this legislative agenda. It was, even, the first substantive thing a Republican-controlled Congress did.
Last week, South Dakota Sen. John Thune used the Republican's allotted time to respond to Obama's weekly radio address by touting Congress' "accomplishments" since the GOP took control.
Is it any wonder that Republican voters are in a foul mood?
There is simply no way Trump dominates the GOP field without first having Republicans like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell setting national strategy for the party. The Trump phenomenon currently upending the nomination fight is their creation.
Republicans, though, seemed poised to make the situation far worse. The national party is still haunted by the 1992 election, when a sitting Republican President broke a campaign promise, ignored conservatives and invited a third-party challenge. The result of the Republican missteps then was Ross Perot and a Clinton victory.
Rather than try to keep conservatives in the party, the RNC seems driven to try to legally prevent a third party challenge. At the first Presidential debate, Fox News, no doubt in consultation with the RNC, began the event by asking candidates if they would promise not to launch an independent run for the White House.
State Republican parties in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina have announced plans to include a "loyalty oath" as a condition to qualify for the primary ballot. A candidate would have to legally swear not to run a third-party campaign for the White House, in order to be on the Republican ballot.
There is nothing nefarious or illegal in the question or the oaths. A political party is a private entity and can obviously set rules about candidates who want to compete for its nomination. That said, these aren't actions that arise from a strong party. It isn't good politics to enter a campaign assuming that you will likely alienate a large chunk of your party's supporters.
In effect, the party is signaling to a not small part of their voters that it expects it will anger them but want them to promise, first, not to leave it if they do.
The Republican party is also obsessed with what it perceives as the negative fallout of a long campaign for the nomination. The RNC has publicly said that it wants to limit the number of debates and rejuggle the primary calendar so the party can decide on a nominee earlier. The party has even moved up the date of its convention, believing, again weirdly, that a primary debate will keep it from focusing on the Democrat in the Fall.
That worry might have had some resonance two decades ago, but betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of modern politics. Neither McCain nor Romney blew competitive elections because they didn't have a few more weeks to run their campaigns.
The result of this RNC obsession will likely blow up soon after Labor Day. CNN will broadcast the next Republican debate in mid-September. Like Fox, CNN will limit the participants to the "top 10" GOP candidates, based on polling data. The line-up for the debate is likely to be little changed from the debate broadcast on Fox in early August. This is because CNN has set rules for the debate essentially ensuring that the candidates who polled best in the earliest days of the campaign are invited.
In other words, a debate of candidates in mid-September will be determined, in part, by how candidates were doing in the polls in July. When pressed on these silly rules, the RNC reverted to legalese that the rules for the debate had been published months ago. Fortunately for the RNC, no one noticed how ridiculous the rules were then.
Unfortunately for the RNC, though, the rules obviously make no sense. Even the least informed voters will be able to see that the rule was designed to help candidates who would had the highest name ID in the earliest days of the campaign. The rule was intended to make it harder for an outsider candidate to break into the debate.
These pushes to shorten the nomination contest and limit outsiders participation in the process will likely make the RNC's ultimate fear, a third party challenge, more of a reality. "Loyalty oaths" are all fine and legal, but they sound better suited to other countries.
The fight for the Republican nomination is likely to get even more chaotic. But, that's what happens when a party decides to alienate its voters and commit suicide.

It's not just women who want smooth, hair-free skin these days. Men seem to prefer the advanced laser hair removal treatment to get that "smooth stud" look. Times have changed, and now men who care about their appearance want to have some of that annoying body hair removed – permanently.
More men are turning to cosmetic treatments today, and laser hair removal treatment is one of the most popular among them. And catering to them are Eden Laser Clinics who specialize in this procedure. Although all forms of laser hair removal are popular among men, most go for laser hair removal on the chest, back, arms, and even face.
Laser treatment for men usually goes on for 6 to 10 weeks, with 50-60 minute sessions that take place every 4 weeks. This, however, can again depend on the colour and the texture of the hair.
Laser hair removal can be a boon to older men as well, who have to deal with excess hair growth. Whether it is for a better look in beach wear or simply to impress your woman, laser hair removal can be a great option.

Starting at home
Earth day is the perfect time to remember that we, as adults, have our children's futures at stake. We need to ask ourselves some searching questions and be honest with our answers. Here are some to start with:
>> How much do you reduce and recycle waste?
>> How connected are you to nature?
>> How often do you get out into the natural habitats of the region?
>> Are you a good role model at home? Why and how?
>> What do you expect the world to be like in 30 years? How involved will you have been in making it like that? Read more in this article in the 7 Days newspaper.

Sources and Flows: Where Our Electricity Comes From
Lesson 13 of 13
Objective: SWBAT define and evaluate different energy sources and systems.
In this 2-3 day lesson, students begin by brainstorms sources of renewable and nonrenewable energy, and then are tasked with researching information on each source of energy related to a specific question. They are given time in- and out-of-class to read and summarize before presenting their findings to the class. Then, as a class they discuss and evaluate the pros and cons of the various energy sources.
- Student handouts
- Computers with internet access
Sources for these materials can be found at: Energy Sources and Systems
Resources (1)
As students enter the classroom, have the following prompt on the board
"Where does the energy we use come from?"
Have them brainstorm a list of sources. There are about 10 sources as follows:
- Oil
- Coal
- Natural Gas
- Nuclear
- Hydro
- Solar
- Wind
- Biomass*
- Geothermal*
- Oceans (tidal)*
*Many students may not think of these. I push their thinking by giving hints.
If you have already taught a lesson on energy type and forms, then ask the students to identify which of these are potential and which are kinetic.
- fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas)
- biomass
- nuclear
- geothermal
- wind
- solar
- hydropower
- tidal
Ask students how we convert these sources into usable energy. They may/may not know how some of these sources are converted. So park those idea for now as they will be researched later.
Now that the class has identified different energy sources, let them know (1) that we want to know more about each one and (2) that you want their help pulling together information on each source in response to a specific question.
Give students a copy of the the Activity: Energy Sources Research Sheet and review the directions. Explain the expectations.
They will:
- Break into a group of 3 students.
- Choose or accept an assignment to research one particular question about each source of energy.
- Using the provided information packet, find the answer to your question for all seven energy sources.
- If additional information is required and you have access to the internet, try:
- How Stuff Works
- How Things Work (University of VA)
- How Things Work: Science Projects
- Energy Kids: Energy Facts (U.S. Dept. of Energy)
- Once you have answered your question for all seven sources, answer the two conclusion questions.
- As a class we will fill in the energy sources chart based on your findings.
Research Questions
- What is this energy source? Where can we find it?
- How do we harness the energy? (How does it work?)
- Are there different types or uses of this source? If yes, what are the differences?
- What are the environmental impacts of your energy source?
- What are the economic impacts of your energy source? How much does it cost per kWh?
- What countries currently use this source? What percentage is used in the United States?
- How is this energy source currently used? For example: farms, industry, etc. Could this source be used in a family home?
You may either assign a question (that is what I do) or let them choose. One question per group. I make the information sheets available on my class website so that I am not running off a ton of copies for each class.
Give them time to ask clarifying questions, then get out computers and get to work. You may opt to give them two days for this or assign the rest for homework.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
On day two, or three, have each group of students prepare a one page handout summarizing their findings including a handout with the information they researched.
They should include the most important or interesting facts and the information their decision is based on for each energy source.
Have each group present their handout to the class.
Discuss the pros and cons as a class and decide which ones are most feasible for a home.
This usually leads to discussion on how the benefits of renewable energy outweigh the costs of nonrenewable ones. I lay the ground work for my next unit of lessons on designing, building and testing wind turbine blades.
This lesson is another example of how to use Science Practice 8.

Toronto, Canada, March 1, 2012 – BacTech Environmental Corporation ("BacTech" or the "Company", CNSX: BAC, WKN: A1H4TY) today announced that it has completed the bioleach phase of testing of the Snow Lake concentrates. The test work has been ongoing for the past five months.
BacTech has requested that its third party contractor, Inspectorate Explorations & Mining Services Ltd. ("Inspectorate') of Vancouver, now subject the oxidized material to treatment with cyanide to determine the ultimate recovery of gold from the samples with final recovery results to be announced in approximately 2-3 weeks time. The final oxidation percentage of the contained sulphides will also be announced. The sulphides are the base cause of the acid rock drainage that has been seeping from the stockpile.
In January 2012, BacTech was in Snow Lake to conduct a public consultation with the citizens of the community. Ross Orr, President and CEO provided an overview of the proposed project followed by a technical presentation by Dr. Paul Miller. Also in attendance were Mary Ann Mihychuk, Director of BacTech, Dave Salari, COO of BacTech and a representative of Newalta Corporation. A healthy and positive question and answer session followed the formal presentation.
Following the meeting, an alternate site for the proposed Snow Lake plant was identified that will lead to a significant reduction in the costs associated with material handling for delivery of material to the plant for processing. The acquisition of the proposed property is underway.
The proposed bioleach plant in Snow Lake will be able to take advantage of some of the lowest power prices in North America. Power is one of the leading costs for bioleaching and fortunately, Manitoba's hydropower provides very low rates and is from a green source.
Work continues with respect to Micon and the Economic Study. The study is expected to be completed in April.
Please click on the link below to view BacTech's "What is Bioleaching?" video.
BacTech profile
BacTech Environmental holds the exclusive, royalty-free rights to use the patented BACOX bioleaching technology for the reclamation of tailings and mining waste materials. On December 13, 2011, BacTech signed a contract with the Mines Branch of the Manitoba Department of Innovation, Energy and Mines, to remediate an arsenopyrite gold stockpile situated at the Snow Lake Mine in Snow Lake, Manitoba. This is the Company's first project since the Plan of Arrangement was completed on December 2, 2010.

Following on from last month's Western Australian state election, I've finished compiling data from that election and added it to the data repository for your use. The dataset includes polling place-level and seat-level data for the lower house and something similar for the upper house. There's also complete candidate lists for both houses and a full list of polling places with addresses and lat/long information. There are a few pieces of data which are missing and this information is listed in the folder.

WA election night live
10:47pm – I'm going to call it a night. One final point to note is that the ABC upper house results page has just flipped the final seat in Mining and Pastoral from One Nation to the Shooters.
10:35pm – South West (33% counted):
South West is currently electing two Labor MLCs and one each for Liberal, Nationals, Greens and One Nation. This is a loss of two Liberal seats to One Nation and the Greens.
While the current calculator is giving one of the seats to the Greens, Tom's probabilities actually suggest there's a 72% chance that seat will go to the third Labor candidate, and the Greens' Diane Evers only has a 28% chance. I presume this is because the Greens are less than 1% ahead of Labor when Labor is knocked out and elects the Greens.
10:31pm – South Metro (32% counted):
Antony's calculator is currently gifting three seats to Labor, two to the Liberal Party and one to the Liberal Democrats. This is a gain of one for Labor and the LDP, and a loss of one for the Greens and the Liberal Party.
The LDP result is not particularly robust: Geeklections gives the LDP only a 70% chance of holding that seat, with most of the remaining possibility going to the Daylight Savings Party.
The Greens also finish the count on 0.95 quotas, just behind the second Liberal: if the Greens vote increases in later counting they could come back and win.
10:28pm – North Metro (32% counted):
North Metro is currently producing a result of 3 Liberal, 2 Labor, 1 Greens. This would be a drop of one seat for the Liberal Party and one extra seat for the Greens.
This result isn't vulnerable to small changes flipping the result. It is possible that, if the third Labor candidate overtook Family First, they would win the final seat instead of the Greens.
10:24pm – Mining and Pastoral (5% counted):
This is the least reliable, since the vast majority of votes are yet to be counted. Labor and the Nationals are each on track to win two seats, with the Liberal Party and One Nation each winning one. This is a gain of a seat for Labor and One Nation, and a loss of a seat for the Liberal Party and the Greens.
The margins of victory are not particularly tight, and the vote would need to shift quite a lot to produce a different outcome. But considering only 5% is counted, this is quite possible.
10:21pm – East Metro (28% counted):
Currently the seats are splitting three Labor, one Liberal, one Greens, one Fluoride Free WA. This would be a loss of two Liberal seats to the minor parties.
On the current vote, Tom Clement gives the Greens and Fluoride Free roughly 85% chance of winning their seats. There are some narrow paths to victory for the second Liberal candidate or the first One Nation candidate.
10:19pm – Let's run through each upper house region in turn.
Firstly, Agricultural (35% counted):
Currently the seats break down as two Labor, two Nationals, one Liberal and one Shooter. This is a loss of one seat for the Liberal Party and a gain of one for Labor. At the moment it appears that the Shooters have a buffer of about one-fifth of a quota over One Nation, so this could change if One Nation's vote grows in late counting.
10:10pm – At this point we know most of what we will know tonight regarding the lower house. By my count Labor has won at least 38 seats. The Liberal Party is on 11, and the Nationals are on five.
I have five seats listed as undecided. Kalgoorlie is very messy and we don't even know which candidates are the top two, so it's not possible to conduct an indicative preference count. The preference count has barely started in Pilbara, so it's not clear if that seat will stay with Nationals leader Brendon Grylls, or flip to Labor.
There are three seats which are conventional Liberal vs Labor races. Labor is leading with 51% after preferences in Murray-Wellington and leading by a handful of votes in Jandakot. The Liberal Party is narrowly ahead in Geraldton.
9:31pm – It's clear that the Western Australian upper house crossbench will be very diverse – Antony's calculator (now with errors fixed) is giving seats to One Nation, the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers, Fluoride Free WA and the Daylight Savings Party. It seems unlikely that Labor and Greens will reach a majority, but they won't face a solid conservative bloc with an upper house majority.
9:23pm – Since there's some problems with the ABC's upper house results, I'd suggest looking at Tom Clement's Geeklections site. Tom is taking the raw election results and running many simulations based on the preference tickets, and he is currently projecting the most likely outcome of 12 Labor, 9 Liberal, 5 Nationals and 3 Greens – which would leave Labor and Greens two votes short of a majority. But Tom's website does more, showing the chances of each party winning in each region.
9:13pm – The upper house numbers are very confusing – it appears two seats actually going to the Shooters are being credited to Daylight Savings. But it's worth noting that both Daylight Savings and Fluoride Free are currently projected to win seats. One Nation is currently leading for only one seat.
8:57pm – We're starting to get some small numbers in from the upper house. Antony Green's preference calculator gives the final seats to the Shooters in Agricultural and One Nation in the South West. In both regions, the calculator gives Labor an additional seat. It also appears that Labor and the Greens could win four seats between them in the East and South Metro regions – in both regions the combined Labor/Greens vote is over four quotas in the lower house, and is sitting at a similar level in the small number of upper house votes counted so far. It also appears likely that Labor or the Greens will gain a seat in the North Metro region. If the left wins an additional seat in all six upper house regions, that would give Labor and the Greens a majority.
8:21pm – I count 14 seats Labor has gained from the Liberal Party: Balcatta, Belmont, Bunbury, Collie-Preston, Darling Range, Forrestfield, Joondalup, Morley, Mount Lawley, Perth, Southern River, Swan Hills, Wanneroo and West Swan.
Labor is also leading in Burns Beach and Geraldton, and Kalgoorlie will take days or weeks to decide.
8:10pm – It's too early to draw any conclusions about the upper house, but it's interesting to look at lower house votes by upper house region. One Nation is polling less than half a quota in North Metropolitan and South Metropolitan (although they wouldn't have run in every seat). One Nation is on about 60% of a quota in the East Metro and South West regions, and about three quarters of a quota in Mining and Pastoral and Agricultural. It suggests they are likely to pick up two seats, but none of those figures are conclusive enough to call any seats.
8:03pm – It'll be interesting to see how the swing to Labor varies across the state – there was a theory that the party was performing better in the marginal seats. I'd like to wait for more preferences to be counted and to ultimately judge on the two-party-preferred swing, but Labor has definitely gained larger primary vote swings in more marginal Liberal seats. The Labor vote is up on average by 11.7% in Liberal seats with margins under 12%, compared to 7.85% in the other Liberal seats and 10% in Labor seats.
7:47pm – The Liberal Party has suffered a massive collapse in Bunbury – the ABC currently has it on 32%.
7:41pm – Sorry, this website is struggling with the traffic now. Been meaning to make some technical updates but house-moving has gotten in the way. I was just writing something about how interesting Kalgoorlie is – we really won't know who will come in the top two until the count is finished, with One Nation preferences deciding who out of Liberal and Nationals will go on to face Labor.
7:27pm – The trend at the moment suggests that Labor is on track to gain all of the Liberal seats held on margins of less than 11%. Labor is recording large enough swings to win in Balcatta, Belmont, Collie-Preston, Forrestfield, Kalamunda, Morley, Perth, Southern River, Swan Hills, Wanneroo and West Swan, although in some cases this is based off a single strong booth. We have no results from the other three Liberal seats held by margins of under 11% – no seat in this range has a swing small enough to allow the Liberal Party to hold on.
7:16pm – We don't have enough booths to call them yet, but it looks likely that Peter Abetz has lost in Southern River.
7:13pm – After five booths, it looks likely that Labor has gained Balcatta (7% margin). It also appears that Forrestfield is likely to fall.
7:06pm – Let's discuss Collie-Preston. It's an unusual seat, with extremely pro-Labor Collie paired with other pro-Liberal towns. The redistribution redrew the seat into a notional Liberal seat, after Labor's Mick Murray was narrowly re-elected in 2013. We don't have many booths yet, but it appears that there has been a small swing to Labor and a large swing away from the Liberal Party, which should be enough to re-elect Murray (which would count as a Labor gain).
7:02pm – We're seeing sizeable samples from numerous country seats which is starting to give us an idea of support for One Nation. They're on 13.6% in Kalgoorlie, 10.6% in Central Wheatbelt, 9.2% in Collie-Preston and 9.3% in Geraldton. If the party polls around 10% across the non-metropolitan region they'll be a contender to win seats in each region – a full quota is roughly 14.3%.
6:59pm – We're seeing a big drop in support for the Liberal Party in Geraldton, with that vote moving to One Nation and Labor. We don't have a preference count there, since Labor came third last time, but it could well be in play.
6:50pm – Four early booths in Kalgoorlie suggest a significant drop in the vote for both the Nationals and the Liberal Party. The Nationals hold the seat with a 4.1% margin over the Liberal Party. Sitting Nationals MP Wendy Duncan has retired, and Labor appears to be performing quite well in a seat which used to be Labor heartland.
6:45pm – Central Wheatbelt is held by the Nationals by an 8.8% margin over the Liberal Party. It appears that there has been a drop in the Liberal vote and a strengthened Nationals vote, with One Nation polling a distant second, based on six polling places.
6:00pm – Polls have just closed in Western Australia. I'll be posting results updates here, as well as contributing to the Guardian's live blog. Don't expect much for the next half hour.
The exit polls point towards a 12% swing to Labor, which would likely give them a majority.
It's 9pm in Sydney where I am – I expect we should have a reasonably clear idea of who is winning (or if it's very close, we'll know that it'll be very close) by around 7:30 WA time, and around 9pm WA time we'll start to see a slowing down of the lower house results and the first upper house results. I expect the results will dry up by 11pm-midnight WA time, so for those of us on the east coast it could be a late night.
WA election – one day to go
I haven't been posting much about the Western Australian election recently, but wanted to quickly touch base on the final day of the campaign.
I was in the Guardian last Friday writing about the campaign. Since then more polls have suggested enough of a swing to Labor to tip out the Barnett government.
There are a lot of conversations taking place in the comments sections for each seat – you can join the chat for your seat, or check out the ten most recent comments in the sidebar.
I'll be on Backchat on FBI radio in Sydney tomorrow morning at 11am (8am WA time) and will be running a liveblog here and contributing to the Guardian's liveblog when results come in tomorrow night.
In the meantime, please use this thread to post your predictions.
WA upper house preferences – Lib/Nat alliance cracks
Western Australia still uses the group voting ticket system for its Legislative Council – the system used for the Senate until 2013. Under this system, parties submit preference orders which are pre-filled for any voters who vote for that party above the line. These preferences were announced yesterday afternoon. I won't bother to list every preference here, although William Bowe at Poll Bludger has the order of key parties.
The big story is One Nation's deal with the Liberal Party. The deal apparently involves One Nation preferences for the Liberal Party in the lower house (helping them in races against Labor that will decide who forms government) in exchange for Liberal preferences to One Nation ahead of all the other contenders. Antony Green has written about the insights we can glean from how preferences flowed when One Nation first emerged in 1998.
Recent polling has suggested that One Nation is a serious contender for seats, regardless of preferences. The WA upper house is malapportioned in a way which gives significantly more seats to the regional areas where One Nation gains the bulk of their votes, and current polling puts them easily on track to win seats in the three non-metropolitan upper house regions. Liberal preferences could be a boost in those regions, and a Liberal surplus could also push One Nation over the line in the Perth area, particularly in East Metropolitan.
The right-wing vote in regional areas will be split four ways between Liberal, Nationals, One Nation and the Shooters, who currently hold two seats. In these areas, preferences between the two government parties have completely broken down. The Nationals have chosen to preference the Greens over the Liberal Party and One Nation, a decision which could help the Greens maintain their hold in Mining and Pastoral and regain a seat in the South West.
The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers have also done well out of preferences. The Shooters have been the only successful right-wing minor party in WA since the first decline of One Nation in the mid 2000s, but their vote would be under serious threat from the revived One Nation. The Shooters are gaining preferences above any other serious contender from One Nation, the Nationals, the Liberal Democrats and the Australian Christians. The Liberal Party is also putting the Shooters second behind the lead One Nation candidate.
There is no similar fracturing on the left side of the contest – Labor and Greens preferences flow directly to each other ahead of any of their right-wing challenges.
It will be extremely difficult for the left to gain a majority in the WA upper house, due to the significant anti-urban bias. But the splitting of right-wing preferences could bring them slightly closer, and the presence of a large number of One Nation MLCs will make any right-wing upper house majority very unstable.
Nominations close for WA state election
Nominations closed yesterday for the Western Australian state election, to be held four weeks from today.
415 candidates have nominated for the lower house. Labor, Liberal and the Greens have each nominated a full team of 59 candidates. The Micro Business Party (no I hadn't heard of them either) have nominated candidates in 46 seats, with the Australian Christians running in 45. One Nation have 35 candidates nominated.
There are 31 independents, and Julie Matheson's party is running twenty candidates.
Interestingly the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers are running nineteen candidates. The Shooters have traditionally been an upper house-only party, although they broke that trend when they ran in (and won) the Orange state by-election in New South Wales last year.
There are on average seven candidates per seat. Only four candidates are running in the seat of Vasse, while ten candidates are running in Darling Range.
A record number of candidates are running in both houses, as documented by Antony Green. Antony's data shows that the number of lower house candidates peaked at 375 candidates in 2005 (an average of 6.6 per seat).
The number of candidates in the upper house has also increased substantially, with twice as many groups as in 2013. This was partly caused by an increase in minor parties running full tickets across all six regions, including the Australian Christians, Daylight Saving Party, Family First, Fluoride Free Western Australia, Flux, Julie Matheson, the Liberal Democrats, the Micro Business Party and One Nation. It's worth noting that Western Australia's upper house still uses the group voting ticket system that was abolished last year for Senate elections, allowing for the type of preference harvesting once so critical to the Senate. Each group's voting tickets will be published on Monday afternoon.
Candidate lists have been updated on all 59 lower house profiles and all six upper house regional profiles.
Where does One Nation get its votes in WA?
The Western Australian state election, to be held in March, will be the first electoral test of One Nation since they won four seats in the Senate in last year's federal election.
Since the party hasn't been a significant factor in recent state elections, we can't use past results to judge where they are likely to win seats. The only data we have is the booth results from the Senate ballot from the last federal election.
I've taken those results and distributed them into the state electorates used in the upcoming election.
One Nation polled 4% in the Senate in Western Australia. In comparison, the most recent state Newspoll has One Nation on 13%, and other polls have put the party at over 10%.
This map shows the vote for each state electorate:
Unsurprisingly, One Nation does better in regional areas. The ten best seats are all outside of Perth, and every seat outside of the metropolitan region saw a One Nation vote of over 4%.
This gives One Nation a significant advantage in the Legislative Council race, since votes in regional areas are worth a lot more.
Approximately three quarters of the state's population lives in the urban area, and this population is divided into three upper house regions, represented by 18 MLCs. The remaining quarter is also represented by 18 MLCs. If their vote holds at its current levels, One Nation's concentrated regional vote could give them a swag of seats.
This table shows the One Nation vote in each upper house region at the 2016 election, and what that vote would be if it was scaled up from 4% to 13%.
|2016 vote (4%)
|2016 vote adjusted 13%
|East Metropolitan
|Mining and Pastoral
|North Metropolitan
|South Metropolitan
|South West
This is an imperfect way to project support – Senate votes have limited value – but if true this would suggest that One Nation would easily win three Legislative Council seats, with a good shot at winning a seat in East Metropolitan region too.
This reflects the results of the 2001 election, when One Nation won a seat in each of the three non-metropolitan upper house regions. In Perth, One Nation polled best in the east and worst in the north, and that pattern was still true in the 2016 Senate vote.
As for the lower house, One Nation never won any seats in Western Australia at its previous peak in 2001, but did come in the top two in multiple seats, most of which were regional seats held by the Nationals.
Here is the list of the ten seats with the highest One Nation vote at the 2016 federal election:
|2016 vote (4%)
|2016 vote adjusted 13%
|NAT 4.1% vs ALP
|NAT 11.5% vs LIB
|North West Central
|NAT 9.6% vs LIB
|NAT 5.9% vs LIB
|LIB 10.9% vs NAT
|Central Wheatbelt
|NAT 8.8% vs LIB
If the One Nation vote is as high as recent polling has suggested, the party could poll well over 20% in a few key seats and could be a contender, depending on how preferences flow.

Question about Fuji FinePix S3100 Digital Camera
Is there any way to replace the battery cap on my S3100 camera. The tabs that lock it in the closed position have broken and the only way I can get the camera to power up is to tape the cap in the normal closed position.
Posted by HelenaPA on
There are two potential solutions that I know of, but only if the broken tabs are on the door and not the camera body. Double check which tabs are damaged.
The first involves getting a new door somewhere (good luck with that... Fuji doesn't seem to sell the parts to civilian consumers... you might try getting the part from an old non-functional one on ebay or something). The trick to removing the battery door is to push the door's hinge pin (with the door open) towards the back (LCD side) of the camera from the opposite (front) side. There is very little clearance. I have successfully used a paint can opener to do this on a S3100. You can brace the back side of the opener against the lip of the camera body and push the pin out. Once it is as far out as possible, use needle nose plier or tweezers to grip the now exposed end of the pin and pull it all the way out. Then put the new door in place and re-insert the pin... there may be a little resistance.
The other was recommended to me by a camera repair man, but I have not tried. I would probably have let him do the work, as it seems a little risky, but possible. It basically involves getting a small washer that will fit under the two latching tabs near one another on the body. After figuring out the correct position for the washer to be attached to the door that it will just slide under the tabs and secure the door, you must use a small countersunk screw through the central hole in the washer to attach it to the door. You might have to remove the rim of the door in that area with an exacto knife or something similar so the washer will fit well. Like I said, I would have probably let him do the work, but it sounds like it would work.
Another idea that just occurred to me is a little more work intensive but would probably work would be to sink a (coarse thread) screw through the door all the way into the plastic of the body (maybe 2 or 3 in different places), which could simply be unscrewed any time you wanted to change the batteries with relatively little trouble.
Good luck! =)

When I saw Lady Day, it took me a while to get into the show. The production is stylishly simple – quaint staging, one actor (McDonald), three musicians, and audience members on the stage … But, add that to the authentic way in which McDonald engages with the audience and with the character of Holiday, and it really does feel like you're at Emerson's Bar & Grill, listening to a (somewhat unstable) jazz singer telling you about her life. The set and lighting used throughout the show also add a lot to the ambience. I enjoyed the fact that the band were centre-stage; they have a consistently strong presence within the production. Although Lady Day is not a musical, music is the cement that holds the show together. McDonald has a great voice and the band sounds fantastic. That said, if you want to see a high-impact or deeply thought-provoking West End production, you may feel underwhelmed by Lady Day. This is the sort of show that you will enjoy if you are a jazz lover who wants to see something that is a bit different, and relatively inexpensive. If all that jazz sounds like your kind of show, you can catch Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill until September.

This is all before she sees a news story about the murder of her former classmate, Carrie Bishop and the once-upon-a-time love of her life, Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) questioned as a suspect in the murder. When the call comes in that he needs her help, Veronica cannot resist the pull to return. So with promises she'll just visit with her dad (Enrico Colantoni), and help Logan weed out the good from the bad lawyers and their respective defenses, Veronica kisses her patient, long-term boyfriend Piz (Chris Lowell) good-bye and returns to a past she never thought she'd see again.
Those of us who know and love the show will be glad to see many of its familiar faces return (in fact, perhaps the only one that doesn't make an appearance is Duncan and his now ten-year-old daughter) including Weevil (Francis Capra), Wallace (Percy Daggs III), Mac (Tina Marjorino). All of these familiar favorites help ground the film (like really could there be a Veronica Mars reunion without Mac, Wallace, Keith, Weevil and company!?) and give fans the closure we needed. Many people were happy with all this two-hour film provided and enjoyed the "heavy" dose of Logan/Veronica screen time (the first time they lays eyes on each other… aww!) and while there was plenty of that, I also found more satisfaction in this film beyond that of a love/hate romantic entanglement finally finding a healthier footing. What was most pleasant to watch develop, grow, change was Veronica discovering her own peace. Last we saw her, she was cut up over ruining her dad's campaign, trying to sort out complicated romantic emotions (i.e., her boyfriend coming face to face with the realization that Logan would always have a bigger part of her part than he did) and trying to decide what she should do with her life in a career. Seeing her come into her own was in and of itself worth watching the movie, no matter what else happened.

Australia has a tropical climate and warm summers. Darwin, Townsville, Gold Coast and Brisbane are warm around the year whereas Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney have sweltering summers. Australians love wearing sandals in order to beat the tropical heat and it is without a doubt that Australia has one of the best fashion scenes ever. We Australians love bundle prices on everything and discount pricing on footwear is a boon for us.
When it comes to women's casual sandals for the summer, Hype DC Discount code from SuperSaverMama have it all covered because it has some of the best sandals on sale every summer.
Brisbane is pretty much a cool place to be in and to live in as well. The traffic is lower than that of Sydney and the summers are truly warm and breezy. It's always fun having an evening walk with my mum either on the parks along the Brisbane river or walking along the pristine beaches of Brisbane in our casual sandals. Who says Men can have all the fun? Women can have it too and women can have the best flat casual sandals ever made. Women love flat casual sandals and they love feeling the breeze of the sea between their toes.
I told my mum about the discount coupons I signed up for at Hype DC. At first, she was hesitant in trying out these sandals but when she did, she loved them and she told me she felt younger as well. Whenever I, Mum and Dad go out for a walk either at the park or at the beach, we all rock our sandals and the Sandals I got from Hype DC are truly one of the best things I've ever had.
I have to hand it to Hype DC: they have made me and my mum smile & have impressed me beyond boundaries. I shop from them for the best casual sneakers and now they have further impressed me in providing me the best sandals ever.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to say: "Hype DC, Thank you so much! Rock on!"

Whoa...now that was quite the trek up those steps to the Fortress. But what an amazing view of the city, the ocean and the fortress alone. This double spread also as 999 techniques....haha, kidding, but it still has a lot going on here.
The colours were inspired by a free back of 6 x 6 paper I received from Stampin Up's Sale-e-bration. I cut out the houses & clouds from the paper and embellished the page. Used circle punches (my fav) to make distressed flowers. Love love LOVE my "Paradise" stamp set from SU! I use these leaves all the time with flowers. Die cut, embossed and coloured with the "Top Note" die from SU! You can use this die cut as an arrow as well, just as I did here. Soooo many things you can do with the Top Note like a snowman box I made for Christmas last year HERE. Used Stampin Up's "slit punch" to create a larger looking scallop border. And added some zig zag stitching to incorporate the feel of the never-ending-steps.
Paper (Stampin Up!): Very vanilla, Whisper White & Bashful Blue
Stamps (Stampin Up!): Paradise
Inks (Stampin Up!): Old Olive Classic Pad and Bashful Blue & Dusty Durango(expired) markers
Punches (Stampin Up!): All Circle punches, Slit, Scallop Square, Corner Rounder and 2-step Bird
Cricut: Teardrop Cartridge
Cuttlebug: Houndstooth Embossing Folder
Other: SU! Top Note Die Cut and Dollarama fuzzy ribbon, rhinestones & brads
