This is a photo of a nuno scarf in progress. At this point the scarf has been laid out and is ready to begin the felting process. This entails completely wetting the fabrics with warm soapy water, then covering it with a piece of pool wrap before rolling it all up tightly like a jelly roll. Then the scarf is rolled by hand (or foot!) about 800 times before being re-rolled from the opposite end and rolled 800 times once again. This starts the felting process, and from this point the scarf is unrolled and manipulated by massaging, squeezing and throwing which completes the felting process.
I describe the materials and techniques I use to create chenille scarves, nuno felt scarves, shibori scarves and jackets, beaded fiber pins, and dyed resisted and discharged jackets. To see more of my work, please visit my website at http://www.CarolFurtado.com.

Last night Tony Kushner and I ate dinner together.
Well ok. We ate at the same dinner, he at a head table and I in the green room (I snapped the photo during sound check), but in many ways the TCG Gala felt like one big family meal. It was truly inspiring to hear the leading lights of the American Theatre talk about their failures and successes, and mostly how much they love the art of story-telling.
The evening's real entertainment was hearing NYC theatre legends dish some dirt about other old-timers in that loving, a-little-too-drunk sort of way. More conventionally, a few of us were on hand to sing from the new Jeff Buckley musical The Last Goodbye, lead by Jay Armstrong Johnson. Earlier in the evening, Jennifer Damiano and Victoria Platt pretty well brought the house down with a song from Venice, soon to open at the Public Theatre.
The evenings honorees were Ruth and Stephen Hendel and Ming Cho Lee.

well this is basically how a hopper works. it is located on the top of the gun above the breach or the bullet reciever. the hopper is a magazine that is on the top of the gun rather than the bottom. first you load the hopper with the bullets that you want the gun to shoot. due to gravity, the bullets fall down into the breach or reciever one by one as the previous one is fired. it is really simple because all it is, is an upside down magazine. each of the bullets are dropped into the breach and fired accordingly. hoppers are most of the time a little more reliable than mags for several reasons. one of which is that gravity does the loading work for you, so you don't need rubber bands. another is that the bullets aren't being forced into eachother, so there is less friction between the bullets. i hope this helps! :)
How do I use a k'nex gun hopper? Answered
I know this might sound stupid but I've never figured out how to use one.
What Knexsniper1 said.
you know what would be funny? if you got the best answer for this :P lol
That would be dumb!
lol, but i think this guy is not on this site anymore :(
yea, it gets really annoying when a pwerson posts a question, you post a good answer, and then you find out that person left the site -_-
Thats happened to me before as I said stupidity.........
i can't even tell you how many times that's happened to me! i mean like a million times!!!!!!! it's sooo annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It happened to you "millions" of times and it happened to me twice................lol
yea, i hate it when that happens -_-
I hate when a talented k'nexer posts something really good and then leaves!
yea, it does get really annoying sometimes -_-
ok, sorry for saying those things down there. i thought youd left the site.
A hopper is basically a mag that loads from the top. Make sure your hopper has low friction, so it doesnt need a pusher. A good example of a hopper would be Crestind's AST rifle, or the hopper on Perfect Duck's Red Impact.
what kind of hopper are you talking about?

Putin's Next Move
From DocuWiki
[edit] General Information
Biography, History, Sociopolitical Documentary published by CBC broadcasted as part of CBC Our World series in 2007 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
This week we look at Russia's president Vladimir Putin and where he's taking
his powerful, contradictory, and often unknowable country. His Party swept
parliamentary elections.Now he can write his ticket to the future. But where
does Vladimir Putin want to take Russia? We hear from two veteran
correspondents. And...in order to put the Putin era in context, we discuss
the book KHRUSHCHEV: A MAN AND HIS ERA. Brian talks with the Pulitzer prize
winning historian, William Taubman about the man who tried to humanize the
Soviet system.
This past week, Russia held parliamentary elections. President Vladimir Putin's
Party, United Russia, won easily more than 60 percent of the votes despite
allegations by European observers of irregularities. This victory is important
because Putin, by law, has to step down from power in May after serving two
terms. His future is unclear and so his Party's majority now gives him lots of
new options. The West is now looking at Russia with increasing alarm, unsure
how to interpret Putin and his ambitions.That's why we turn to two Russia
hands here at the CBC: Don Murray, based in London and Alexandra Szacka in
Don Murray brings valuable perspective to the question of Putin, having
reported from Russia during the exciting years of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
Alexandra Szacka is the CBC's new reporter in Moscow. She brings to her
assignment an exciting history. She lived in Communist Poland as a child.
Her grandfather was sent to Stalin's gulag in the 1930's. And her father went
to University in provincial Russia during the Khrushchev years. She has seen
the spectrum of Soviet history within her own family.We present first a short
excerpt from her report earlier this week on the Putin victory and then hear
her thoughts on what's ahead for Russia.
Vladimir Putin is among the last generation of Russian leaders raised under
the Soviet regime.He experienced, first hand, the communist system. And his
world view was shaped, partly, by having lived in a country closed off from
the rest of the world and which saw the West as an enemy. As a leader who
often cites history, he has looked at Russia's recent past --at the leadership
of Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin--and has decided they made mistakes.
We know he's an advocate of a strong, nationalist Russia and wants to revive
its international influence.Every leader brings his own stamp to his era and
can shape history by the force of his personality. That's what historian
William Taubman believes. He won a Pulitzer prize a couple of years ago for
his insightful portrait of Nikita Khrushchev, who ran the Soviet Union in the
1960's, when Putin was a young.
Khrushchev is interesting because he represents a reformist strain in Russia.
His greatest achievement was denouncing Russia's authoritarian past and trying
to put a human face on Communism. He's credited with having paved the way for
Gorbachev and the reforms of the late 1980's.Brian met with Taubman recently
and we talked about the lessons of Khrushchev and what mark Vladimir Putin
may leave on his own era.

Welcome to ContractPhones247! We are a site that aims to help every person with bad credit mobile phones. In today's times it is almost impossible to get by without a mobile device. They are used to keep in touch with family and friends, look up information we need, and even do our jobs. If you have been kept away from getting a mobile plan because of your bad credit rating, you have probably had a hard time keeping up with everything. We want to help you change that. Our site is dedicated to everything bad credit mobile phones related. ContractPhones247 will help you to get a bad credit contract phone regardless of your credit score, while also providing you with essential information when it comes to your mobile plan.
So what do we do exactly? It's pretty simply. We have partnered with some of the largest and best mobile companies through the UK. They have shared with us their current contract deals and the requirements in order to be eligible for them. By using the simple form found on our website, you can get yourself matched up with one of these deals. Since we are only matching you up with deals that we think you are likely to get, you are increasing your chances of being approved. Many of these mobile companies do not advertise these deals to the public, so using our site is the only way to get them. All you have to do is input your information and leave the rest up to us.
Before ContractPhones247 this would not have been the case. When you wanted a mobile contract, you would have had to go around to each mobile carrier and applied for a contract. This would have meant filling in a bunch of forms, getting your credit checked, and ultimately being denied. You would then move onto the next mobile carrier and hope you had better luck. This entire process would have been time consuming and tedious, and in the end you were not guaranteed to get a mobile contract. ContractPhones247 takes this problem away from you. All we have is one simple form, but it has the same effect as filling out many. We are essentially filling out all of those other forms for you, and presenting you with the best options that fit your circumstances.
Now, you may have come across other sites that claim to offer bad credit mobile phone contracts just like us. However, these other sites do not offer the same features as ContractPhones247. For starters, at ContractPhones247, customer service is our number one priority. We have done everything we can to make our website as simple as possible for you to use so that you don't waste any time filling out unnecessary forms. In addition to this, our customer service team is always on standby should you have any questions. All you need to do is give us a call or send us an email and we will do everything we can to help you out. Lastly, all of the mobile companies we have partnered with have passed our high quality standards. When you sign up with a company found through our site, you can rest easy knowing they are a reputable company that will provide you with a quality mobile phone service.
More and more mobile companies these days are using your credit score to determine whether or not you should be eligible for their mobile plans. Your credit score is essentially a number that represents how trustworthy you are with money. It takes into account your current debt, how you use your credit cards, and how responsible you are with payments. Since mobile phone plans have become so expensive, companies are reluctant to give them out unless they know you can be trusted. Your credit score is one the primary ways they determine this. While the best option for you would be to improve your credit score, and then apply for a normal mobile phone contract, you may not have that much time. Improving your credit score can take weeks or even months, and even then it may only go up a little.

1up.com has put two of the 360 launch titles through their paces. The verdict? Nice, good on HDTVs, but nothing that screams next generation. From reading these reviews it looks like these titles have a lot of small improvements from their little brothers on the current-gen systems, and are middling on their own.
While these are two smaller titles in the launch library, it'll be interesting to see if this is what we can expect from the other titles. I can't say I'm terribly surprised though, NBA2K6 is a quickie port of a sports title and Amped 3 has always been a touch on the mediocre side. I'm thinking we'll likely hear the same things about the Madden and Tiger ports.
Bring on the Perfect Dark and PGR3 reviews, dangit!

Transportation plan is thoughtful
Gov. Pat McCrory unveiled a thoughtful and laudable transportation plan last Thursday. It is an important acknowledgment that there are two North Carolinas. On the one hand, major metro areas like Charlotte are growing, getting new businesses and experiencing economic recovery. On the other, the state's rural areas and small towns are still mired in economic despair.
McCrory's proposal to invest more than $1 billion in infrastructure improvements in many of those rural communities appears to recognize that public policy and government initiatives are crucial to helping the whole state prosper and thrive.
Whether the plan is, as McCrory told a Greenville audience, "taking, basically, the politics out" of state highway spending is another matter. McCrory has taken a lot of heat from the public for siding with a Republican-controlled N.C. legislature on tax cuts and other policies that have hurt, not helped, struggling North Carolinians. He got a "C" from the public in a Public Policy Poll last month, and last week more people disapproved of his performance as governor (46 percent) than approved (41 percent) – a continuing yearlong slide.
He could face stiff opposition for reelection in 2016. So, this plan may indeed be politically motivated to help improve the public's view of him.
Still, we applaud McCrory for his stated aim of structuring a plan to boost economic development in clearly struggling parts of this state, a plan in his words "where we can create jobs, where can save lives, and where we can create opportunity."
As Julie White, executive director of the N.C. Metropolitan Mayors Coalition, rightly notes in calling it "an exciting vision," the plan "encompasses all modes transportation" – rail, port, transit and highways.
We, of course, would like to see more attention to mass transit, which is of great importance to metro areas. And, as some critics point out, McCrory's 25-year plan does not include a much needed and long-sought overhaul of I-95.
We also have big concerns about how to pay for the needs outlined. McCrory wants the N.C. legislature to agree to issue revenue bonds to "kick-start" projects. "It would be a loan, essentially, capitalizing on low interest rates," state Transportation Secretary Tony Tata said.
Thankfully, McCrory acknowledges that the state will need new revenue streams to tackle these vital road and other infrastructure needs. He says he will recommend new transportation revenue sources to the legislature next year to address needs up to $123 billion by 2040.
Does the governor have what it takes to persuade the tax-cut happy, spending averse legislators to make these needed investments? We'll see. Yet it was mighty encouraging to see him last week forcefully making the case.

Tax Planning
- Are you claiming all of your Tax relief entitlements? – They are there for your benefit, so make the most of them!
- Are you paying enough National Insurance? – Your state pension is calculated on the contributions you make and as part of an ageing population, it's wise to make sure you are sufficiently covered for when the time comes.
- Are you paying your Tax correctly and paying it on time? – HM Revenue & Customs do not regard ignorance as an acceptable excuse. Don't give them a reason to knock your door!
- Do you know what your families Inheritance Tax (IHT) liability will be when you've gone? – Sometimes just making a will isn't enough to safeguard your loved-ones future.
If you have answered anything other than a positive "Yes" to any of the above questions, I strongly recommend you contact Matt Morris. Matt and our dedicated Tax Team will ensure you make the most of your situation; and benefit from their expertise which could save you money:
- They will notify you in advance of your Tax liability, so you can plan ahead instead of waiting until it's due!

- They will always be available to answer any questions or queries you may have.
So, if you have a question about your personal Tax, Matt Morris and our Tax Team will be happy to help.

Battle Cry of Freedom
By Jack Putney and Zac Braidic
The Song and it's Meaning
This song was a story of how the union expected their victory would happen very quickly. They pictured millions upon millions of free men to join in the army. And for everyone of those million men who dies, a man would be waiting to be put into his place in the union. They pictured a country United again and all confederate to rejoin. The song talks about how badly the union wanted to beat the confederate states. It also talked about the great flag, the once again United country would rally around once the union had won. It talks about how they think that once they win, everyone will instantly just want to join back together as one country. The song talks about how everyone in the north will want to join the union to defeat the confederate soldier. The person who wrote the song probably lived in the north and was a supporter of the union. The song was probably also written before the war had began when everyone in the north thought the confederate didn't stand a chance against the union.

Last week was uber-hectic, so I completely forgot to post our Mark and Mama Monday. So, you get a two-fer today. Lucky you! 🙂
Okay, so that's not the real name of the place we went. There's a coffeshop in town that caters to parents and their kids. There's a pretty big play area and they bring in people to do music and stuff. They also serve kid-sized portions of some things, so it works out all around.
I feel like these places might be sprouting up all over the place? Maybe? Anyway, it was the perfect place to go — it was raining and there was supposed to be someone leading some singing for the kids at 10am.
Perfect, I thought. We'll get there around 9:30 and have a snack before the music starts.
This was Strike 1. Music Guy did not show up until 10:45. At that point, Mark was done (see strikes two and three below) and we needed to go home.
[Notice the lack of picture of music guy. Not there. And didn't really interact much with the kids from what I could see while we were putting on our jackets.
Then, Strike 2. There were a TON of kids there. This is not a strike in and of itself, but some of the kids were walking around WITHOUT SHOES and snotty noses that they rubbed all over the toys. Oh, and who stood on my foot. Not stepped, that's reasonable, but were closer to me than their mothers and were trying to stand on my foot (which, notably, was inside my shoe). Really, this leads us to Strike Three…
Parents Not Watching Their Kids. I'm one of those rare moms who doesn't spend the whole time glued to the phone or only talking to my friends when we're out in public. Not so with some of these moms. Not only were their kids spreading all kinds of lovely gunk everywhere, but there were several times where kids took toys away from Mark and when Mark tried to take them back, the mom only saw that part and stopped her conversation about who posted what on Instagram long enough to give ME the stink eye.
So, I hoarded a train car or two and made sure to give those to Mark when his other toys were taken away.
Mark was mostly ignorant of a lot of the insanity and SUPER enjoyed his apple juice (a big treat in our house), so all was not lost. And I got to see him whack a naked Barbie doll on a doll house chandelier and squeal with happiness. Win.
Mark and Mama Monday #4
This week, Mark and I didn't hang out on Monday since it was Presidents' Day and Ryan had the day off. So, our date this week was today…
ASH WEDNESDAY! Woohoo!
That's right, we went to Mass together this morning. I was pretty excited because it's only the second time Mark and I have gone to Mass by ourselves and I really need to live up the one-kid-at-Mass-thing while I still can.
Mark was pretty well-behaved, which was awesome. 🙂
Although, when Mass was over, Mark called out "All done!" and then turned to me and said, "Donut!"
Clearly, I'm raising him right. 🙂

BJP victory mirrors MP chief minister's popularity: Experts
The sweeping of urban bodies' polls in Madhya Pradesh by the BJP would have an impact on the administration and a wider impact on the politics of the state, suggest political observers.bhopal Updated: Dec 08, 2014 15:27 IST
The sweeping of the urban bodies' polls in Madhya Pradesh by the BJP would have an impact on the administration and a wider impact on the politics of the state, suggest political observers.
Elections in MP were held in 278 civic bodies including 10 municipal corporations, 64 nagar palika parishads and 204 nagar parishads. Of these, the BJP won in all the 10 municipal corporations, in 38 nagar palika parishads and in 119 nagar parishads in the state.
The general consensus is that these results are a reflection of the popularity of chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan across MP.
"The CM campaigned in the municipal corporations and nagar palika parishads but did not campaign in nagar parishads. An analysis of the results shows that while the BJP swept the municipal corporations and fared well in nagar palika parishads, the Congress still managed to win about 30% of the nagar parishads," said political analyst Girija Shankar.
Conventionally, the BJP was always considered stronger in towns and cities while the Congress had the support of rural areas. But Shankar denied this to be true anymore.
"In the last three elections, the BJP has won everywhere so this does not hold true," he added.
As a strategy, the BJP had decided that the CM would campaign in municipal corporations and nagar palika parishads. However, the results suggest that other than the CM, none of the other BJP leaders in the state including state BJP president Nandkumar Singh Chauhan could ensure a good show for the party in the nagar parishads - the smallest of the urban bodies.
Meanwhile, the results are also being termed as a setback for BJP leaders including some senior ministers who were asserting themselves and speaking of a change in leadership. The results also exposed top leaders of both BJP and Congress who could not ensure victory in their backyards.
While the BJP lost in Datia, the constituency of health minister Narottam Mishra, and lost in Shahpur, located within the Lok Sabha constituency of state BJP president Nandkumar Singh Chauhan, the Congress lost in Rewa, Satna, Sidhi and Chachauda - all considered to be the zones of influence of Congress leaders Sriniwas Tiwari, Ajay Singh and Digvijaya Singh.
The election results have also sent out a message to the administration that the BJP has full control over the government.

Press Release
Minister Harris announces new CEO of the National Treatment Purchase Fund
Minister for Health, Simon Harris, is pleased to announce that Mr Liam Sloyan has accepted an offer of appointment as the CEO of the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF), following an open recruitment process administered by the Public Appointments Service. The Chairman of the Board of the NTPF, John Horan, has advised the Minister that Mr Sloyan will take up his appointment in the coming weeks.
Commenting on the appointment, the Minister said: "Mr Sloyan's appointment comes at an important time for the NTPF, as the NTPF again takes on a role in the commissioning of patient treatment, in line with commitments in the Programme for a Partnership Government to reduce waiting times for our longest waiting patients. I look forward to continuing to work with both the Board of the NTPF and with Mr Sloyan and his Executive Team".
Mr Horan said: "I am confident that Mr Sloyan's appointment will provide the NTPF with the leadership and vision required to implement its Strategy 2017-2019. Work is already under way in the NTPF to deliver waiting list initiatives to reduce patient waiting times".
Mr Sloyan takes up this appointment from his current position as the first Regulator of the National Lottery where he established the Office and regulated the National Lottery from the commencement of the new National Lottery Licence. Prior to leading this Office, he was Chief Executive of the Health Insurance Authority where he played a key role in the development of the regulatory infrastructure of the health insurance market.

The Minister also thanked Mr Jim O'Sullivan who served as acting CEO on a part-time basis for the last four years: "I wish to thank Jim for his hard work and dedication in serving as Acting CEO of the NTPF over a number of years. His experience and expertise have greatly contributed to the organisation. Jim has led the organisation through a time of considerable change and has laid the foundation for its expanded role in the next few years".

Although theoretical calculations indicate that the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could reach >2, the experimentally reported ZT values of CNTs are typically in the range of 10−3–10−2, which is not attractive for thermal energy conversion applications. In this work, we report the preparation of flexible CNT bulky paper for thermoelectric applications. The ZT values of the CNT bulky papers could be significantly enhanced by Ar plasma treatment, i.e. increasing it from 0.01 for pristine CNTs to 0.4 for Ar-plasma treated CNTs. The improved thermoelectric properties were mainly due to the greatly increased Seebeck coefficients and a reduction in the thermal conductivities, although the electrical conductivities also decreased. Such an improvement makes the plasma treated CNT bulky papers promising as a new type of thermoelectric material for certain niche applications as they are easily processed, mechanically flexible and durable, and chemically stable.

Screwed To The Nth Degree
Explain It!:
Our issue begins the way that every issue of this mini begins, with us getting a glimpse of what's going on currently with our heroes and their plight of what once looked like Rann and Thanagar having an all out war and what now looks like Despero's complete takeover of Rann. Yeah, it seems that he's building himself a Stargate, but what actually turns out to me a mega structure for him to be able to zeta-beam a whole army at once to any destination he sees fit to conquer. Thankfully though it seems that our two heroes will have themselves some backup finally and while it isn't much compared to a Kaladorian army, we do get Katar's partner Rayn Kral and the Thanagarian Green Lantern Isamot Kol showing up to help our heroes out........... even though we won't see it here.
Moving back in time, Hawkman and Adam Strange make their way to Kalador and get the lowdown on what Despero is up to thanks to a little mind meld from a surviving elder, but really it's just to catch our heroes up with what we already know. The only thing I find odd about this section is that Despero apparently was able to zeta-beam all of his army off the planet, but the way that he would need to do this is by creating the super zeta beam that he's making in the future of all this........ and maybe I missed something since it was revealed here that Sardath, Alanna's super scientist father is still alive and under the control of Despero and maybe somehow put something together for him to do this, but it came off odd to me.
In the end, it is revealed that the super structure that Despero and Sardath are making is to actually zeta-beam the newly found reserve of Nth metal out of the Thanagarian moon Ryngor so that it washes over Despero entirely. While this seems like an awful situation right off the bat, it's made worse when that action also causes the moon to explode and rain down on Thanagar, killing a shit load of people. Yeah, we end on a low note in this issue as we find out that not only has Thanagar been devastated, but also because Despero on top of being the over powered bad ass that he is also now has the power of Nth metal on top of it and as he claims....... He's now eternal.
That's it for this issue of Death of Hawkman and while this installment certainly seemed to up the stakes with what we were dealing with, a lot of this issue was filler just getting our heroes to have the same knowledge that we had during the previous issue. Yeah, you needed this, but from a reader's standpoint it just became rehash. I like where this mini is going though because the threat has become even bigger than I originally thought it was and it's an interesting turn of events. The art continues to be the strongest part of this series so far and while I hope the story blows me away in the next issues, I hope the art remains as strong as it's been because I just love looking at this book.
Bits and Pieces:
While this series maintains its slow pace, it's finally paying off with this issue and showing us the real threat facing our heroes. Yeah, it's big and over the top in a fun way, but because we have to sacrifice pages to rehash what we already knew, the pacing of this book feels a bit off. Luckily though the art remains strong and I look forward to where this story is taking us.

We were so excited to photograph actress + producer + screenwriter Lena Waithe because she has made big waves for herself and we've been watching.
Lena made history last year as the first woman of color to win an Emmy for best writing for a comedy series for her episode of "Master of None." We photographed Lena for Variety and I kinda wanna pat ourselves on the back for this photo because we shot this outside at an apartment complex's pool patio and if you saw the small setup you'd have absolutely no idea it had this sparkly emerald magic going on. It was pretty funny every time we used a spray bottle an inch from Lena's face, and she never flinched. Lena's new show "The Chi" premieres on Showtime this month and we will be watching.

My middle girl gets lost in the shuffle. As a middle girl myself I am probably more aware of that phenomenon than some. Some days I stop and ask myself when the last time Lexi was the sole focus of my or Doug's world. It's never an easy answer.
So, a couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to take Lexi to the ballet. Just the two of us! A touring company was performing Snow White and it was being advertised as a "bring your princess" event. Perfect!
That night, of course we were running late with 75 different things going on, but Lexi and I cleaned up and made it to the auditorium for the production in time to get a decent seat, but we missed out on the cookie and punch preshow. Oh well! We decided that we would go out to eat afterwards, just the two of us!!
Here we are waiting for the show to start!
Take note of the program. The graphic on the front of the cover was the same one on the posters and all advertisements. Please note the color of snow white's dress.
Yes, it's blue. She doesn't look like SNOW WHITE! I realized that, but I figured it would be okay.
In the audience that night there were probably 200 little girls wearing their princess dresses. Their DISNEY inspired princess dresses.
And here is what I learned. The ballet was a beautiful complex modern dance, GERMAN inspired performance of the "classic" tale. NOT DISNEY.
Therefore, my girl was not impressed. In fact, she was scared of the witch. The witch/evil queen lady was SCARY!! It was incredibly dark and weird. Not little girl friendly at all.
We sat through most of it while Lexi asked me questions about all the parts that were "wrong." Finally, right before the big showdown between the witch and Snow White we left. Lexi was scared of what was going to happen and I didn't feel like making my kid stay and then dealing with nightmares.
On our way out, it was interesting that a couple of grown women that are "movers and shakers" and big donors of our local art scene were also leaving. I heard their commentary. They weren't leaving because they had another engagement... maybe I wasn't the only one that wasn't cultured enough!
Since the show was a bust, I gave Lexi the option of eating ANYWHERE for dinner. I ran down the list of the "nice" restaurants... oh shock, she chose McDonalds. great. But hey, it was her night.
So, what did I learn from this outing? I learned that we are completely and totally disney-ified. We expect the "classic" fairy tales be told and represented in the Disney way. We wanted the yellow and blue dress and red bow on Snow White. (I can give you an accurate description because I am currently sporting a princess sticker on my hand!) It's a hard place for performing companies to be. I know, I've been a part of "classic" non-disney fairy tale productions. Companies want to be edgy and different. They can't afford the royalties and rights for the "big" show.. but in the end, at least in my world, they lost a potential return patron, because instead of inspiring my middle girl, they scared her.
What's next on the mommy and daughter agenda? I don't know...suggestions anyone?? :)

McCann Travels: 2 weeks and 2 days in Magical, Mystical Ireland with Margaret Holmes, Executive Assistant
As I go home to Dublin every Christmas, this post isn't a list of new and fabulous places I visited, but rather a list of the old familiar traditional places I go to every Festive Season.
1. Christmas Eve – Service of Nine Lessons & Carols, St. Patrick's Cathedral Dublin. My Dad was a boy chorister in the Choir at St. Patrick's, and I attended the Elementary and High Schools attached to the Cathedral, so a member of the Holmes family has been attending the Carol Service every year for the past 70+ years. The Service starts off with a boy soloist singing the first verse of "One in Royal David's City" and ends with "Hark The Herald Angel's Sing," accompanied by drums and trumpets, and sung not to the usual tune, but a Handel tune they only have at St. Patrick's on Christmas Eve. Many people think "Christmas is here" when we hear the first drum rolls and the first notes from the trumpets. It's a very social church service; I see lots of familiar faces year over year so it can often turn into a lovely mini-reunion. The service is broadcast on the main RTE radio station and also LiveStreamed on the Cathedral's website, so lots of people in countries all over the world can listen, and sing along, at home.
2. Bewley's of Grafton Street. Bewley's opened their coffee shop in Dublin in 1927, selling their amazing coffee, famous cherry buns and all manner of other delicious baked goods. They closed to do major renovations in 2014 and reopened just before Christmas. Many things changed but their kept the original and famous Harry Clarke stained glass windows, the mahogany paneling and velvet upholstered banquettes. The lines were long to get in, but well worth the wait once I got inside and smelled the very familiar and unique smell of Bewley's Coffee.
3. Stag's Head. Dublin pubs over the last couple of years have gotten very pretentious. If they were a person, Irish people would say they had "notions" about themselves. Gone is the Irish charm and every pub now has a "Gin Menu", even the most ordinary dive bars. When I was home for a wedding last June, a young bartender asked me what kind of Gin I would like for the G&T and he was very unimpressed when I said "Gordon's would be lovely." Now it's all Hendricks and other fancy new Gins from chi-chi gin merchants, completed with juniper berries. For this and many other reasons I love going to the Stag's Head. It is a pretention-free zone and still has many of its original distinctive Victorian features: wrought-iron chandeliers, polished granite, and ceiling-high mirrors. It opened in May 1894 and was the first pub in Dublin to have electric lights. The Stag's Head is located a short 5 minute walk from Grafton Street. Lots of tired shoppers both before and after Christmas can be found in the Stag's Head having a break and a Toasted Special (a Ham, Cheese, Tomato & Onion Toasted Sandwich.)
4. Belfast. My aunt and cousins live in Belfast, so on New Year's Eve my Mum and I took a day trip to the "wee North" for a day of cross-border shopping and some quality family time with family members I haven't seen in a couple of years. Belfast is 100 Miles from Dublin. The drive up took me one hour and 30 minutes. At dinner there were lots of comments of "you won't do it in the short time on the way back in the dark," which I took as a little bit of a challenge and made it back in an hour and 40 mins, mainly because we were the only car on the road and also mainly because of some speeding. Ireland's road signs are now in kilometers, not miles, so I've no clue how fast or slow I'm driving. Belfast is still part of the United Kingdom so we traded our Euros for Sterling and picked up lots of bargains!
5. The Irish Countryside. My brother and his family live in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, a short 15-minute drive from Dublin City Center. Even though it's only 15 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of O'Connell Street, you're suddenly in the country after about 10 minutes and you're surrounded by green fields full of cows and sheep.
6. Newgrange. Another 30-minute drive from my brother's is Newgrange, which was built about 3200 BC. The kidney-shaped mound covers an area of over one acre and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, some of which are richly decorated with megalithic art. It is estimated that the construction of the Passage Tomb at Newgrange would have taken a work force of 300 at least 20 years. December 21st or the Winter Solstice is the big day at Newgrange. The passage and chamber of Newgrange are illuminated by the winter solstice sunrise. A shaft of sunlight shines through the roof box over the entrance and penetrates the passage to light up the chamber. The dramatic event lasts for 17 minutes at dawn on the Winter Solstice and for a few mornings either side of the Winter Solstice. Admission to the Newgrange chamber for the Winter Solstice sunrise is by lottery. About 130,000 applications are submitted annually. In September each year, 50 names are drawn with 2 places are awarded to each person drawn.
7. Food. America does many things very well, but tea and chocolate are not two of them, so it's lovely to be home to have some delicious tea and all manner of delicious chocolate..…and cake….and Tayto crisps….and Lucozade. Every bite and sip takes me back to my childhood. Every returning emigrant and current resident love the great traditions of Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding, Mince Pies, Trifle and of course Full Irish Breakfasts.

text: Random Pic of ladybird looking cute on our bed. It's been a long week. It started off well. I got a lot of cleaning done, and felt very productive. Sara and Matt had Thursday and Friday off, due to snow. 4 days of everyone being home made the place a mess again (luckily Matt helped get the dishes and laundry done while I was at work yesterday). I'm getting a bit antsy about my big certification test this weekend, PLUS we just got a letter saying Matt won't be getting anymore unemployement as of NOW..so it's getting critical I find a job, like yesterday. I love the office I'm interning at, too bad they're not hiring lol. I'm trying not to freak out about everything that's going on...but it's hard. Fall is coming up so fast, and graduate school is going to be SO expensive. Going to make an appointment for Matt to go talk to the student financial aid people up at SU, and meanwhile I'm scouring the web for grants/scholorships.

Outside the house is a big rock,
Painted with hand prints.
'It's true,' Ken says, tearfully. 'Where's the van?'
'Outside my house,' Rick admits. 'There wasn't anywhere to put the stuff.
I said I'd pay, if they'd leave it there overnight. I didn't think… I didn't think of this.'
Ken places his hand on Jackie's photo.
'She'd be ashamed of me, really. Gambling.'
It seemed
That the reconstruction changed Kiera's mind,
About the whole place, and about Donna.
Ken watched in his wheelchair,
A Blanket around his knees, a pipe in his mouth.
He still wore his dog collar, under his scarf.
They made a plaque. The lake still froze over each year,
And Donna took her walk with her litter spike to clear the path.
They put the windows back,
New ones. The five thousand, with great blue fish. The ark, the walls
Of Jericho,
With golden trumpets.
'We could use a little more profile,'
Mary said to Rick. 'Perhaps,
A reporter. They could do a story. Local Village Church
Resurrected by Lottery Win.
The congregation would boom, I'm sure.'
Donna sits on the back row, in the quiet. There are muddy
Tracks down the aisle. The winter light
Is cool. They bought new cushion covers, all red. Blocks of congealed blood,
Or ruby,
Depending on her mood.

As you can see underneath all the double wear I'm a freckle monster. I had my lashes done yesterday which I am so excited about, I couldn't have them done for Christmas as the salon was just too busy and me and Sam were beyond rushed off our feet. Yesterday was a bit more mellow so we managed to beautify one another. These lashes are the Let's Go lashes (previously Blink and Go) from Nouveau. As you can see they are gorgeous. I have a glamorous set on at the mo so I look like Daisy the Cow. They are so comfortable though and I usually get 2 weeks of wear out of them. Visit my salons website The lash and Brow Boutique for more. You can also see a massive range of my work on my Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
Amazing huh?
Do you ever wear individual false lashes? How do you find them?

Days that are -1 or even -10 degrees are sort of tolerable, I can still jump out and snap a few pictures at my leisure, once those temperatures dip down to -30 and such, I pass on going out there haha! This past weekend was one of those rare 0 degree with tons of snow days. Don't get me wrong though, looking forward to summer already! As simple and white snow may be, it still turns everything that much more interesting to look at.

I don't know about other professions, but in medicine there is an old intern's tale that things come in threes. It can be ectopics, miscarriages, twins, or this last week : pyelonephritis. Pyelonephritis is infection in the kidneys. It's awful. But good news: it's easy to diagnose and treat. I might add, it's easy to prevent.
What is it and how can it be prevented ? To start thinking about kidney infections, think first about bladder infections. They are very common. Women get them because their urethra is all of about 3 cm long and the bacteria in the area can ascend quite easily. Whenever there is irritation or dehydration, infection has a chance to set up.
An undiagnosed or neglected bladder infection simply ascends up the urethra to the kidney, and if the patient is dehydrated, run down, or otherwise compromised in some other way, she can develop a kidney infection. Forms of " other compromise" include, but are not limited to, kidney stones, other illnesses or pregnancy.
Bladder infections have the symptoms of burning, urgency, or difficulty voiding. They are diagnosed by symptoms and a dip test. They are easy to treat with tablets taken by mouth and generous hydration with water.
Kidney infection symptoms are more systemic, including fever aches, nausea, and backache. These infections are deep within the body and have gotten through several defenses. They require IV antibiotics or shots, and good hydration. If a pregnant woman gets a kidney infection, she must be admitted to the hospital, usually for a few days. Pyelonephritis is linked with preterm labor.
How can we prevent kidney and bladder infections ? First and foremost, hydrate well. Women need 2 liters of water a day, and pregnant women need 3 liters per day. A good rule of thumb is to keep your urine looking nearly clear. Urinate after sex. Keep yourself well rested and in a good general state of health. Finally, don't wait to call in if you think you might have a bladder infection. If you wait too long, you could get pyelonephritis.

Ski Spain
It comes as a surprise to some, given Spain's latitude and sunny reputation, that there are around 35 resorts in which to ski Spain's snow slopes spread right across the country. Slightly more than half of these, including most of the country's larger ski areas, are in the Pyrenees mountains which stretch along the Eastern border with France, and also encompass Andorra. However there are smaller Spanish ski resorts in hills and lesser mountain ranges across the country and there have been artificially slopes installed on the Balleric islands and even the possibility of skiing in Tenerife in the Spanish Canary Islands off the coast of Africa – however the supposed ski resort of Teide there was an impressive internet hoax!
Spain's ski resorts are characterised by friendly people, good food and late starts to the skiing day and to après skiing, which often doesn't really get going until just before midnight.
One of Spain's three biggest ski areas, and its highest, as well as being the most southerly major mainland resort in Europe, is Sierra Nevada. Close to Malaga, it offers the realistic possibility of skiing or snowboarding half the day and swimming in the warm Mediterranean sea for the other half. It was host to the biggest winter sports event ever held in Spain, The World Alpine Skiing Championships in 1995, but a lack of snow led to their postponement to 1996. The centre does have a good snow record and sometimes boasts the deepest snowpack in Europe at 5 or 6 metres by the spring, staying open in to May many years. It also has a huge snowmaking arsenal.
Spain's main cities are well located for quick trips to the ski slopes. La-Pinilla and Valdesqui are among half a dozen resorts within a couple of hours of capital Madrid, which is also home to a large indoor snow centre, popular with the Beckhams during their time in the city. Barcelona is an easy trip up to the Pyrenees and its many ski centres, and indeed many non-Spaniards fly in to Barcelona as the easiest way to get to Spanish or Andorran ski areas. However a new airport closer to the slopes at Lleida opened in 2010 after a 130 Million Euro investment to make access even easier.
Baqueira/Beret is one of the three resorts battling for top spot in Spain in terms of skiable terrain and lift ticket price. Along with Sierra Nevada the other contender is another resort in the Pyrenees, Formigal, which has invested heavily in state-of-the-art ski lifts in recent years and international sales and now claims to be Spain's biggest ski area, just.
Baqueira/Beret however has the more established reputation and royal credentials, as Spain's royal family holiday here most winters. There are several four and five star hotels to match this reputation and a reputation for the best in its restaurants and shops – a kind of Spanish St Moritz.
