3 Questions to Ask to Trim Spending In Your Lineup
Almost every business (and individual, family and household) is looking for ways to reduce their spending. In the December 8 issue of Fortune Magazine, there is a great regular column by Jia Lynn Young entitled First. The following question was asked to a panel of 3 executives from major companies: I need to cut costs dramatically. How can I find smart ways to do it?
You'll have to buy the magazine or subscribe to Fortune to get the full article, but the panel as asked 3 questions to guide their responses. They were:
- How do I identify where I'm spending too much?
- Are there some cuts that are not worth taking?
- What are some reductions companies often overlook?
Reflecting on your own answers is a good way to determine if your business is prepared to weather these difficult times and if you have the right leadership strategy. If you struggle with any of them, get the article.

Section 5 of HB 369 is where the most substantial changes to Georgia law were made in the bill. It affected several existing Code sections and I will address each by reference to the statute it changed or added. The provisions on whether a child fourteen years of age or older could continue to choose which parent he or she would live with was one of the most hotly debated portions of the bill. Prior articles on the subject can be found here and here.
Subsection (a)(5) of the new version of OCGA section 19-9-3 deals with the right of children 14 years or older to elect their custodial parent. As originally introduced, the bill would have abolished this right of election. However, the right re-emerged in a subsequent version, and in the bill as passed, some vestige of the right still exists, although it has been changed to some degree.
The law now provides that: "In all custody cases in which the child has reached the age of 14 years, the child shall have the right to select the parent with whom he or she desires to live. The child´s selection for purposes of custody shall be presumptive unless the parent so selected is determined not to be in the best interests of the child. The parental selection by a child who has reached the age of 14 may, in and of itself, constitute a material change of condition or circumstance in any action seeking a modification or change in the custody of that child; provided, however, that such selection may only be made once within a period of two years from the date of the previous selection and the best interests of the child standard shall apply."
Previously, the selection of the 14 year old or older child was controlling on the court absent a finding of unfitness of the selected parent. Now it is presumptive unless the selected parent is determined not to be in the best interests of the child. New to the statute is the provision that the selection alone is a basis for modification of custody but that the selection may not be made more often than once every two years. Considering there is only a four year window between the ages of 14 and 18, as a practical matter, this allows for the possibility of only two changes of custody based on the election.

PAIN(S) relievers for medicinal chemists: how computational methods can assist in hit evaluation
In this editorial, brought to MedChemNet members by Future Medicinal Chemistry, authors Conrad Stork and Johannes Kirchmair discuss the use of computational methods to assist hit evaluation.
Modern high-throughput screening technologies allow for the testing of tens of thousands of compounds per day. However, a substantial proportion of the initial hits can be artifacts related to aggregate formation [1], chemical reactivity, photoreactivity, redox activity, metal chelation, interference with assay spectroscopy, membrane disruption, decomposition in buffers and other mechanisms [2–4].
The seminal works by the Shoichet group on aggregators [1] and by Baell and Holloway on pan-assay interference compounds (PAINS) [2] have greatly increased the scientific community's awareness of the pollution of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology literature with 'bad actors' and 'frequent hitters'. Less present in discussions but not of lower significance are impurities and decomposition products as sources of assay interference [15,16].
Recently, the editors-in-chief of nine ACS journals have teamed up to define best practice guidelines for how to identify assay artifacts and reject such hits [4]. Recommendations include the measurement and publication of full concentration response curves as well as the use of reporter-free methods such as surface plasmon resonance.
At this point, it is important to note that frequent hitters are not necessarily bad actors and vice versa. Frequent hitters are compounds which have a higher-than-expected activity rate recorded in historical screening data. Bad actors, on the other hand, are compounds that trigger false assay readouts under specific conditions and therefore often, but by far not always, show a high frequency of false readouts. In addition to some bad actors, frequent hitters also include true promiscuous compounds (sometimes related to privileged scaffolds) that may in fact be of interest in the context of polypharmacology and drug repurposing.
Computational methods can make a significant contribution to the identification of potential bad actors and/or frequent hitters. These computational techniques include rule-based and similarity-based methods, statistical approaches and machine learning. Here, we will briefly discuss the most relevant approaches that are publicly accessible.

Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) legislature's Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) has hailed the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) for the introduction and implementation of stringent interventions to strengthen prudent financial management.
Maggie Govender, Scopa chairperson, said she noted the improvement in the audit outcomes and that the Department and its entities did not incur fruitless expenditure.
"There has been consistency in adhering to the policy of paying service providers within 30 days. This is highly commendable. We want to thank EDTEA MEC, Sihle Zikalala and his team for this," Govender said at the legislature earlier today.
Welcoming the accolades from Scopa, Zikalala said stringent financial controls were a catalyst for quality service delivery.
"We are happy that our financial control measures are beginning to bear fruit. The positive comments we have received from Scopa members from various political parties are very encouraging. We now have concrete plans of avoiding irregular, unauthorized, and fruitless expenditure which will enable us to accelerate service delivery to our people," Zikalala said.
He said as a department that championed radical economic transformation and promoted the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises, they could not afford to delay paying service providers as this impacted negatively on their balance sheets.
"We have heard of retrenchments and the closing down of small and medium-sized enterprises as a result of payment delays. This is unacceptable and needs to change," he said.

text: 1; 2; 3Exfoliation doesn't mean scrubbing or rough handling your skin. It's really just about giving the surface of your skin a rev, chasing off dead cells and getting deep into pores for a thorough cleaning. You can exfoliate by using something as simple as a muslin cloth. Effective exfoliation is a great way to control blackheads and clarify skin. And 'scrubs' aren't the only way to do it. Powdered exfoliants have enjoyed a recent renaissance. These finely-milled enzymatic powders are very effective at scooping out debris from clogged pores. With our Papaya + Pineapple Sherbet Exfoliant you just have to add water, and you're there (it's a bit like a chemistry experiment at school).TIP: Set aside one morning or night a week to do this, and make it a regular thing. eg. Sunday night or Saturday morning, or whenever you're most likely to remember.Story via

On Monday, the Minnesota Senate passed a bipartisan jobs budget that advances Minnesota by encouraging growth in our state's economy. The compromise bill, S.F. 1456, focuses on increasing public and private partnerships to help grow wages, improve local infrastructure and increase labor participation.
Included in the bill are several provisions that benefit Senate District 1, with two specific provisions advanced by Senator Johnson to help Thief River Falls bring in new jobs through the Digi-Key expansion.
"This year's job budget is a bipartisan piece of legislation that encourages economic growth across our state and district," said Senator Mark Johnson, (R-East Grand Forks). "I'm thankful that we were able to include two provision that will directly benefit our district. Through this public-private partnership we'll not only be able to keep a great Minnesota company local, but also bring in many new high paying jobs in the process."
The legislation includes $4,000,000 loan from existing Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) to Digi-Key over the biennium. The investment funds will assist the company with their facilities expansion, helping to offset of capital expenditures,
In addition to the loan from the Minnesota investment fund the jobs bill includes a $1,600,000 grant for Thief River Falls from the Greater Minnesota Public Infrastructure Program. These funds will be used to help the city expand infrastructure, such as roads and utilities, to support the expanded facility and the influx of workers.
The Digi-Key expansion is expected to bring one thousand new jobs to the area over ten years. With an average salary of $62,040, Minnesota is expected to see an additional $35 million added to the state's annual payroll.

Wherever you look today, there are labels. There are more labels you could ever imagine. There are those big, large labels that you will sometimes see displayed on the side of your building. And then there are those small labels, so small sometimes that you can barely see them. A lot of the time, these minute labels tend to irritate consumers. There are those cynical consumers who believe that the purveyors of their goods are deliberately trying to pull the wool over their eyes, deliberately concealing information from them.
But that is hardly the case, and on many occasions, the manufacture, print and sticking on of labels of such small size just cannot be helped. In fact, it is quite necessary and in many instances, it has become a state or federal requirement. The logistics of small packages cannot really be helped. But even so, it is quite admirable. It is impressive to see just how much information on a particular product can be crammed into one small space. That takes quite a bit of skill. It is fascinating, and those of you with any interest in the manufacture of custom labels can read about it on blogs put together by graphic design and printing exponents.
They will go through the process with you in a step by step fashion. You could also step wide of the designers and printers and learn a little from the copywriters and editors who skillfully manage to place as much relevant and important product information in such a limited space. While graphic designers have the ease of software tools to work with, the creative processes required of copy workers still requires some considerable mental input. Like taking two pages of 1000 words long and highlighting it all in a space that only has room for 150 words.

EDGEWORTH archer Josh Ford says he is ready to scale back his bow-hunting commitments after taking out his class at the IFAA World Field Archery Championships in South Africa last month.
The Boolaroo Bowmen member travelled to Potchefstroom, near Johannesburg, for the five-day championships after winning the Australian Nationals in Alice Springs earlier this year.
A national champion of three separate styles of bow-hunting, Ford competed in only the International Field Archery Association (IFAA) freestyle unlimited event in South Africa.
He finished on top in class B of the junior male freestyle unlimited division in what he says was an "amazing" competition experience.
"It was a different atmosphere to any of the shoots in Australia that you'd go to," he said. "The mass of nationalities that were there, you had people talking all sorts of languages.
"I shot with a group and there was only two of us who spoke English. So the shooting conditions were different."
Ford said the event was an "eye opener" and he was happy with how he shot.
The victory rounds out a couple of competitive and successful years for the 17-year-old and he says will now take a step back from bow-hunting to focus on the higher school certificate.
He also plans to make the transition to a recurve bow in the future, which is the type of archery in the Olympics.
"I'm going to change to a recurve and give that a go," he said. "I'll see how I go with that but I'm reasonably happy with what I've achieved with the compound [bow]."
Mike Clayton-Brown won the Kaos Surf PRD Cadet Cup Under 16's division and his sister Elle finished second in the Open Women's Pro-AM at Birubi beach on Sunday.
The Corlette duo led the way for the Port Stephens surfing contingent, both putting in impressive performances in decent swell.
Mike had some huge backside turns in the Under 16 Boys final, remaining busy over the 20-minute event and catching a handful of long tapered walls which allowed him to unleash the quality turns.
He claimed victory with a 16.04 two-wave heat total over fellow event standout Taj Simon from Port Kembla who finished second.
Elle Clayton-Brown faced Japanese surfer Amuro Tsuzuki, who was using the Open Women's Pro-AM as preparation for the upcoming Port Stephens Toyota Pro World Surf League Qualifying Series competition.
Tsuzuki tore apart all the rounds of competition but Elle put up some stiff competition, along with fellow local Jasmine Sampson.
Newcastle's Sunny Whitby-Otto came fourth in the Under 16 Boys.

Science Briefs: Using smartphones won't ease depression
Don't count on smartphone to ease depression
Depressed people who turn to their smartphones for relief may only be making things worse.
A team of researchers found that people who substitute electronic interaction for the real-life human kind find little if any satisfaction. In a paper published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, they argue that relying on a mobile phone to ease one's woes just doesn't work.
Using a mobile phone for temporary relief from negative emotions could worsen psychological conditions and spiral into unregulated and problematic use of mobile phones, said Michigan State University's Prabu David.
"The research bears out that despite all the advances we've made, there is still a place for meaningful, face-to-face interaction," he said. "The mobile phone can do a range of things that simulate human interaction. It seduces us into believing it's real, but the fact remains it's still synthetic." msutoday.msu.edu
New iPhone app can ID region's plants
The N.C. Botanical Garden at UNC-Chapel Hill has released a new iPhone app – FloraQuest – that provides mobile devices with the contents of the 1,320 page "Flora of the Southern and Mid-Atlantic States," a comprehensive guide to the identification, taxonomy, habitats and distribution of more than 7,000 vascular plants native to the Southeast.
The app, which was developed by the UNC Herbarium at the NCBG, allows users to pinpoint and identify specific plants by answering key questions about the plant and providing definitions of botanical terms. The app is currently available at the Apple Store for $7.99. uncnews.unc.edu
Free presentation about raptors
In an ever-changing environment, birds of prey – such as hawks, owls and falcons – have had to adapt to changes in their habitat. At 7 p.m. Wednesday, the Charlotte Nature Museum is hosting "Wisdom of the Woods: Raptor Rapture," a presentation about the biology of these birds and the struggles they face. Museum staffers will be joined by representatives from the Carolina Raptor Center who will talk about the center's life-saving and rehabilitative services. The event is free and does not require museum admission. The museum is at 1658 Sterling Road. Details: www.charlottenaturemuseum.org. Staff reports
A little norovirus can go a long way
Researchers at N.C. State and Wake Forest University have reported the first direct evidence that vomiting can spray virus particles similar to norovirus – better known as "the winter vomiting bug."
"When one person vomits, the aerosolized virus particles can get into another person's mouth and, if swallowed, can lead to infection," said N.C. State professor Lee-Ann Jaykus, co-author of a paper reporting the work. "Those airborne particles could also land on nearby surfaces like tables and door handles, causing environmental contamination. And norovirus can hang around for weeks, so anyone that touches that table and then puts their hand to their mouth could be at risk for infection."
The paper was published this month in the journal PLOS ONE.
The research team developed and used a vomiting device that allowed them to precisely control the volume, viscosity and pressure of simulated vomiting. "At most, only 0.02 percent of the total virus in the vomit was aerosolized," Jaykus said. "But that can still amount to thousands of virus particles – more than enough to infect other people." ncsu.edu

A jury was selected Monday and testimony got underway this morning in the murder trial of Joshua James Cox.
Cox is charged with murder, felony murder and two counts possession of a firearm during commission of a felony in connection with the July 14, 2015 shooting death of Donald Terrell Clark.
Testimony started with the man who found Clark's body and a young woman who saw Cox acting strangely just after the shooting.
James Bell of Griffin testified he had been doing yard work for Clark and went to his home to fix a starter on his truck. He found Clark lying in his driveway.
"I thought he was goofing around and tapped his foot with my foot and said 'Get up man'. Clark did not respond and Bell called Clark's wife then 911. Sabrina Clark and a co-worker from Waffle House in Barnesville arrived before the ambulance.
Erica Callahan, a Spalding County 911 operator, testified Cox called at 9:03 a.m., identifed himself and said he had shot someone. She asked where he was. He answered, "You know" then hung up.
Dakota Lupton testified she was tending horses at her home across the street when she heard two gunshots in quick succession. She said she saw Cox in the road with a cellphone to his ear. He then threw the phone to the ground, knelt in the road and screamed something like, "I can climb any mountain". He then sped away in a lifted, regular cab truck, she said.
Court broke for lunch just before noon and will reconvene at 1 p.m.

Q&A with Lucas
Why did you choose this area of study?
Business administration and information systems can help me optimise the knowledge that I have of the construction industry, hopefully towards a managerial position.
What is the best opportunity you have had at Deakin?
Spruik myself and extend myself through leadership opportunities in the Information Systems Council, and featuring in a video documentary about my time at Deakin.
What was great about appearing in the video?
Having had a significant accident three years ago, it can be easy to avoid challenges and revert to 'self-preservation' mode.
Have you had an particularly interesting moments at Deakin?
My third graduation will be! I think having a multi-day video about my life post-accident was an awesome period of self-reflection.
What would you like to do in the future?
Inspire others; give things a go while living a comfortable yet meaningful life. Being realistic is after all the most commonly travelled road towards mediocrity! Failure is a great opportunity to learn.

This is a snapshot of Lucas on the road to recovery after an accident changed the course of his life.

Let's get this out of the way right now, not everybody loves football management games. It could be because they don't like Football in general or it could just be that people find them too fiddly, and I can understand why people would feel that way. As someone who plays football (when I'm not injured) and who has tried my hand at coaching and managing a side, I am one of those people who really quite enjoy the genre, and find it a perfect way for me to see if I can manage the egos of a top class football team (though I draw the line at trying to keep them away from ladies who aren't their wives).
FIFA Manager 12 is the eleventh instalment of the FIFA Manager series and also happens to be the first time I have ever seen a FIFA Manager game running. Based in Cologne, the developers, Bright Future, have been working on the FIFA Manager series since 2007 and, since taking over the development reins, they have managed to produce a game that has gone down quite well with the critics. This year, FIFA Manager is looking to blow the competition out of the water with some brand new features and refinements of old ones. During a visit to EA's offices last month, Producer Adrian Curry ran me through some of the new features for the game and talked over what I could look forward to getting out of this one…
The first thing that struck me is the quality of the presentation. In football management sims, I'm used to staring at the same dull menus – a massive issue for me in this genre as you're usually just staring at a screen full of boxes and menus – but Bright Future have picked up on that and created some beautiful and intuitive menu screens. This was best shown off in the game's 3D match engine, an enhanced and tweaked version of the previous FIFA engine that not only looks good, but provides minimal loading times in the transition from menus to game and certainly looks impressive.
The game plays out as if you were watching a game of FIFA but, at any time, you can make changes to your formations and tactics, differing from rival footy management sims by allowing you to make all of these decisions right there on the pitch, without having to trawl through lots of menus and sub menus. If you know that the opposition striker is dangerous and needs close attention, you can find the defender on the screen and check out his man marking stats while the game is still in full flow, and then instruct the defender to man-mark that target. As soon as you have made that man-marking call, you will see your defender attempt to get close to the striker, though unfortunately in our demonstration the opposition striker scored within seconds of being marked, but it just showed that it's not a guaranteed way of always keeping your opponents from scoring. With defending as just one example I was shown, you can also make changes on the fly all across the pitch, instructing your midfielders to take more long shots and wingers to cross the ball more often, all while the game is unfolding in front of you, just like a real manager.

- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar or white vinegar
For ribs:
- Remove the membrane from rack of ribs using Boning Knife (see Cook's Tip).
- Season both sides of ribs with salt and black pepper.
- Cut between each bone to separate rack into individual ribs.
- Arrange ribs, cut side down, in two layers in Deep Covered Baker.

Nutrients per serving: Calories 590, Total Fat 38 g, Saturated Fat 14 g, Cholesterol 155 mg, Carbohydrate 30 g, Protein 31 g, Sodium 1430 mg, Fiber 0 g
Cook's Tip: The membrane found underneath the rack is not only tough, but it also holds in excess fat. Removing the membrane helps to render out the fat during cooking. To remove the membrane, lay the rack meaty side down. Using the tip of the Boning Knife, gently cut under the membrane on one corner. Using a paper towel, grasp the corner of the membrane and gently pull it away from the bones. Trim any visible fat along the underside of the rack.

How To Stop The School Shooting Insanity
Kristi Gilroy hugs a young woman at a police check point near the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 people were killed by a gunman Wednesday. (Mark Wilson/Getty Images)
BOSTON (WBZ-AM) -- Even before the death toll had been verified in Parkland, Florida from the massacre at the high school there, the usual suspects were making the usual arguments on Twitter and elsewhere.
You can probably recite them from memory – it's all about the guns…guns don't kill people, people do…government has to do more to stop this…government ought to just arm the teachers and back off…and on and on and on.
I taped these comments last night and perhaps by now we know more, but the details will unfold in grimly familiar fashion. The family and friends of the alleged shooter will shed light on his struggles with behavioral problems or mental illness…or maybe they won't. Florida's weak gun laws will be cited even before we know how he got hold of them…political apologists for the gun lobby will claim its too soon to even talk about that.
And in the end, after we've had our political arguments and mourned the dead and wrung our hands, everyone will move on to another story, and nothing will be done to prevent or deter the next atrocity.
This is the horrendous pattern we've fallen into, and if I had any snappy answers for how to break out of it, I'd share them.
The best I can do is suggest something that likely no one will find satisfactory.
Let's put high-tech security features and well-trained, armed guards in every school in America, and cover the multi-billion-dollar cost with sky-high taxes on guns, knives and bomb-making materials.
Let's pass a law banning any instructions on how to make homemade weapons from the internet.
And then let's see if any of that breaks this deadly pattern.
Because let's face it--it could be your kid's school to get hit next.

You can make your design brief confidential by making your contest private. When you make your contest private the designer can only see the design brief after signing the NDA. Also, private contest means that web crawlers can not crawl the page so the page won't appear in search result.
A sticker is the most effective business promotion tool that can give you long-lasting business benefits with a meager investment. Hence, its design becomes essential, especially when marketers look for business promotion in the local market. Since not all stickers draw attention or leave a lasting impression on customers, you must focus on its design if you wish your sticker design to be perceived. A nicely designed sticker should speak for your brand and stick around for a more extended period. A poorly designed sticker looks cheap, and your customers might devalue your brand; quality stickers, on the other hand, can do a lot for your brand.

Sticker design is an essential part of your marketing material. An appropriate and well-designed sticker can do magic to just any brand promotion campaign. But designing a sticker is not a cup of tea for many graphic designers. Even a graphic designer without prior experience of sticker designing can make a clutter of the design process. Sticker design isn't just about designing a pretty sticker, but the graphic designers need to keep various other things in mind while creating. They must think about the message to be communicated, sizing/shape, the typography, the printing process, and the actual copy of their stickers.
Your winning design will be uploaded in formats that are perfect for use on the web and in print. You'll get full legal copyright too, so the design will be all yours.
Our global community of professional designers present their work. You provide feedback.
1.2) Graphic Design Services Refund – If you're not happy with how the job went, you can raise a dispute. Disputes will be fairly judged by our Design Experts. You will receive a full refund if we feel the designer has not provided the level of service you paid for.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears that #Netflix has decided to pull the plug on #Marvel's #Harlem hero, #LukeCage.
Yes, unfortunately that means no season 3 for fans of the popular series. @Deadline reports that the cancelation of "Luke Cage" comes on the heels of the news that the show #IronFist was canned, which was about a week ago.
"Unfortunately, Marvel's Luke Cage will not return for a third season," Marvel and the streaming service said in a release. "Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the dedicated showrunner, writers, cast and crew who brought Harlem's Hero to life for the past two seasons, and to all the fans who have supported the series."
Apparently, the cancelation came as a surprise, especially considering the show's success. A writers' room under showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker had been working for around six months, producing scripts and taking notes from Netflix and Marvel without warning. As actors including lead Mike Colter remained under contract, a formal Season 3 order was considered almost a sure thing by all concerned.
The same day Luke Cage got the axe was the same day the long awaited third season of Daredevil launched.
After rising tensions over the past month, that conclusion was scrapped as it all went south in the last 48 hours. Luke Cage's cancelation was ultimately a combo of what people in the biz call "creative differences" and the inability for the parties involved to reach a deal on how to move forward, according to sources.
With a season springing from the conclusion of the June 22-launched Season 2 plotted out months ago, detailed drafts for the first half of the 10-episode projected third season were delivered to Marvel and Netflix this week. But the rumored tea is that some execs had issues with the more developed scripts despite the fact that the scripts "strongly incorporated" suggestions from both Netflix and Marvel.

Nerd Home Improvement/
We are unabashed movie fanatics here at Casa De La Loma. (Click here for the story of how we named our home.)
We spend our summer nights entertaining quite a lot here and having friends over to enjoy our Darby Outdoor Movie Theater. (We have our own Instagram hashtag for this: #DarbySummerMovies, but that's not important right now. Also, I'm martadarby on Instagram if you want to follow my own personal "relajo.")
I spend a lot of time on Pinterest, too, gathering and curating ideas for menus, party foods, home decor and things that interest me. (I'm Marta Verdes Darby on Pinterest if you'd like to follow.)
It was there that I found the cutest, nerdiest thing ever. It was a collection of directional signs with über-nerdy destinations. I was instantly inspired and shared it with the rest of the family, who immediately had their own opinions of what our signs would need to look like.
Jonathan had strong opinions of what fandoms should be represented as we made our list of favorites. They would each have to be meaningful to us. Eric was in charge of procuring the wood and cutting it to our specifications. By "our," I mean me and Lucy. We're the designers around here and (being strong nerdy Cuban women) knew exactly what we wanted for our signage.
The entire process went pretty quickly once we made the original decisions. We would include a nod to each of our favorites.
- Asgard - Home of Thor, Loki, and Odin.
- Mos Eisley - from Star Wars; Episode IV: A New Hope (The original and best.) "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of sum and villainy." ~Obi-wan Kenobi.
- The Shire - Home to Hobbits. My personal obsession with Hobbit-lore is long and storied.
- Nov. 12. 1955 - Back to the Future. This one is a little more obscure unless you know your movie trivia. This was the date that lightning struck the Hill Valley clock tower.
- Narnia - as in "The Chronicles of _____." I particularly like this typeface because it has the lion's tale moving from the R to dot the i, because Aslan.
- 221b Baker St. - Home of our favorite detective duo: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
- Hogwarts - Because Harry Potter. Full disclosure: I cry every time Dobby dies. I know. Shut up.
- Camelot - 2 reasons: 1) I recently introduced my kids to Camelot, the musical with Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave, and Franco Nero. They laughed and sighed and cried just as I did when I first saw it in 1967. The Alan Jay Lerner book can still hold its own. 2) Monty Python. Of course.
We had others that didn't make the cut because of space and time. (<--see what I did there?) But we were excited and inspired and the whole project came together pretty quickly with all hands working diligently to make it happen.
Eric went down to Lowe's and got a 4"x4" redwood fence post, had it cut down to 8 feet and bought a 4 inch cap. For the signs themselves, he bought some pre-cut fence pickets. We had shapes in mind for each one, so some he just cut in half or trimmed to square them off.
He installed the post just like you would install a fence, with a metal base. I think he must have Googled "how to install a fence post" because he made it look quite effortless.
With the base securely in place, we turned our attention to making the signs themselves. While I'm pretty good at freehand lettering, we thought it would be cool to have each one follow the theme of what it was supposed to represent.
Lucy went online and found where we could procure fonts for each of the titles we wanted on our signs.
She found most all the fonts on DaFont.com. Here's the list if you're interested.
- Asgard - Stonehenge (I had to reposition the 'g' to make it legible.)
- Mos Eisley - Star Jedi
- The Shire - Hobbiton Brush Hand
- Narnia - Narnia BLL
- 221b Baker St. - Oldstyle (we used the Small Caps feature in Photoshop)
- Hogwarts - Harry P
- Camelot - Old London
She then sent the information to my Silhouette Portrait to create our custom stencils according to exact specifications to fit on each 4 inch tall picket. She created the stencils using regular card stock.
[An aside: I love my Silhouette for so many reasons. And I know I haven't even plumbed the depths of the magic that it can create. Here's how I used it to create truly magical word banners at Christmas, but that's not important right now, either.]
I sprayed the back of each stencil lightly with Krylon Easy Tack Repositionable Adhesive. It keeps the stencil in place, but peels off easily after you've painted.
I used black acrylic craft paint and a small, flat stencil brush to fill in the letters. I used an up-and-down motion like you do for stenciling. If you brush, there's the possibility you could get under the stencil and smear the paint.
I didn't really wait for the paint to dry before peeling off the stencil. I swear we all made audible "whoa" sounds every time I would reveal the latest sign. From there we set them in the sun to dry.
Our delight was so great that we kept walking over and admiring our work and high-fiving each other on how great it was all turning out. I know. But, c'mon! Aren't these so awesome?
The next step was sealing the signs. We opted for quick and easy here, spraying quick drying varnish on each one. It sealed the sign and added a nice color and finish, while keeping the rustic look I was going for.
We finished cutting, stenciling, spraying and sealing each sign and then waited for them to dry before staging them into their final positions. I should mention here that I had already sketched out which way I wanted the arrows pointing and which went where before we even started production. Also, the burnt looking effect on the edges of the Mos Eisley sign I just did with the same black paint.
I marked where each should be secured and mounted on the redwood post and Eric drilled screws into those spots.
He and Jon mounted each finished sign on the post. I positioned each one as it pleased my eye, that is, not measuring in between them - this makes my husband kind of crazy, but then, he appreciates that he married an artsy Cuban and he just follows my direction when it comes to stuff like this. (He was pleased with the outcome.)
Finally, we stood back and admired our creation. Please appreciate that Asgard is pointing up because space. Thankyouverymuch.
I don't know what makes me happier, the finished sign itself, or the fact that my family was already on board right when I said, "Hey, guys! I have an idea..."
I love my big, fat, über-nerdy Cuban family.

It's Christmas Eve morning, and I am in day two of my extended holiday weekend. Not much going on right now, and that's perfectly alright. Didn't do too much yesterday either: napped, watched some shows, knit, read (Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen). Later on in the evening we went grocery shopping, which wasn't that bad. I was feeling like I wanted to be "out", so we unloaded the groceries and went to the mall.
Yes, the mall on the Friday night before Christmas. It wasn't that crazy really. We really didn't need anything, but once we got in there Mr. V asked if I wanted to look for running shoes. Hmmm... yes, please! Our vision was then focused on one thing last night: running shoes. I spotted a comfy and affordable pair of Avia's at the shoe haven DSW, our first stop. They were reasonable, but me being the die-hard bargain knew I could do better. So we hit every shoe store in the mall. Unfortunately, my shoes weren't made by Nike, Adidas, or New Balance, so I couldn't find another store that carried them let alone one that selling them for cheaper. (and I noticed at those sport shops with the really loud annoying music, you know the ones with the shoes displayed on the wall, the ones that sell $150 sneakers that will never actually be used in athletic endevours-these store's so-called running shoe collections amounted to 18 pairs of the same shoe but in different colors). So passing DSW on our way out, I had a decision to make. And one fake-out later I was standing in line to pay for a new pair of running shoes.
I told Mr. V while in line that he must know that I'm going to be walking around the house all weekend in them. To which he replied that I can't, not until Christmas. The sneakers are still in the box, in the bag, under the tree. Torture just thinking about it. Love you, Mr. V
Enough of the senseless babbling. In knitting news, I started Kate from Knitty which I'm making from leftover wool-ease. What a fun knit. I have the lower body stuffed already, and next I'll be embroidering the eyes and mouth. Cute! I'll admit she's not the most anatomically correct cat, but I love her nonetheless. The Hourglass Sweater is still laying, neglected in the other room.
I have to say, I'm really liking this "no traveling during Christmas thing". So relaxing. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday whatever their plans. And a safe one as well.
So my fellow yarn whores, have you been naughty or nice? I'll guess we'll know tomorrow morning.

Well, if you judge by the $400 iPod I got for Christmas, I was very nice this year! However, no knitting stuff, so that may balance out the naughty/nice values somewhat. :p
I was naughty!

Stocks are enjoying a good spell recently as optimism dominates.
All three major indexes hit record levels in early trading on Tuesday as healthcare stocks rose on solid earnings and investors remained upbeat about a cut in corporate taxes.
Shares of Valeant Pharma surged 14.2% after the company's profit beat Wall Street estimates due to strength in its eye-care Bausch + Lomb business.
Mylan rose 2%, a day after the drug maker raised its full-year forecast.
Negotiations on President Donald Trump's tax bill have begun after House Republicans last week unveiled a first draft that proposed a range of cuts aimed at helping businesses, including slashing the corporate rate to 20% from 35%.
With more than 400 of S&P 500 companies having reported, earnings for the third quarter are expected to have climbed 8%, compared with expectations of a 5.9% rise at the start of October.
The S&P has risen about 15% in 2017 on the back on strong earnings, an improving economy and Trump's promise to cut taxes.
"While the market remains in place for further gains, the unwinding of the earnings season is likely to slow the pace of gains as the battle of tax reform lurks in the background," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial.
Eight of the 11 major S&P sectors were higher, with the health index's 0.34 percent rise leading the advancers.
Investors are also awaiting a speech from outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Randal Quarles. Yellen will give acceptance remarks at a presentation of the Paul H. Douglas Award for Ethics in Government in Washington at 18:30 GMT.
Her speech will come less than a week after President Donald Trump chose Fed governor Jerome Powell to replace Yellen at the end of her term in 2018.
Shares of Priceline Group were down 9.1% after the online travel services company gave a softer-than-expected guidance for the fourth quarter. Weight Watchers jumped 11.3% after the weight management company raised its profit forecast.

meeting year-level achievement standards for Prep or above. Teachers base
this highly individualised curriculum on the P–12 learning area curriculum and use
the extended levels of the General
to adjust the learning focus and determine the learning expectations for

Carew hoping to make a point on belated return to Craven Cottage
John Carew said yesterday that he would have been "stupid" to have joined Fulham after confirming that he almost signed for the club in January 2002. The Aston Villa forward, who will play at Craven Cottage today against Fulham, returned to Valencia after a proposed £7.5 million deal mysteriously collapsed and arrived in the Barclays Premiership from Lyons only six weeks ago.
The Norway striker, who was signed in exchange for Milan Baros, has impressed for Villa, who return to action today after a three-week gap. But he said that it would have been a bad move to have signed for Fulham, who were managed by Jean Tigana at the time.
The 27-year-old revealed that he did not, as Fulham claimed, fail a medical. "I…

Luther's Corner, Massachusetts
Whoa! I knew I was special. So special, in fact, that they named a town after me! Isn't that serious cool? Okay. So I'm sure the town came first, but I'm still so excited. I plopped my name in a search…and THERE IT WAS! And it's HISTORIC! 🙂 It's called Luther's Corner in Swansea, Massachusetts and I found it on Wikipedia.
This is so fun. A real place with my name.
The reason I'm so excited is that I was named by my fur parents as a homage to their most favorite thing. Rock and Blues music! My Maw Maw and Paw Paw are HUGE Blues fans and they know some cool musicians like: Ronnie Baker Brooks, Lonnie Brooks, James Solberg, Biscuit and the Mix, the late and great Pine Top Perkins. Paw Paw said Pine Top came over to the house a few times and actually showed him some guitar licks! That's when he lived in south Chicago, back in the day. Paw says "back in the day" a lot…I don't know what that means. Biscuit and the Mix had a gig last year in Omaha, Nebraska. Maw and Paw lived there at the time and they all got to hang out. Cool, man, cool.
Of course my fur parents are obsessive about music and have literally tons of CD's and quite frankly, I think they play their music way too loud for old people. Maybe they don't hear so well? And they wiggle and jiggle all funny when the music plays to loud. Maw even jiggles while she's cooking and baking in the kitchen. Humans are strange.
The History of our Names
It all started with the girl Zappa. She was the princess I guess, and named after…drum rolllllll: Frank Zappa.
Then came Roach, the protector.
He was named after Roach, the lead singer from Café R&B. Cool double concept. R&B for rhythm and blues, and it also stands for Roach and Bill, her husband. Neato!
Then me, Luther! Named after Luther Allison (no, not Luther Vandross). 🙂
Any way. It's been so fun to do my own research and find out about all this info. I love it. Whether it's Luther's Corner, Massachusetts, or Luther Allison the Blues great; I have a history, a lineage if you please. And to me…that's barking cool stuff!
Till next time…

Explosion Kills Eight
Tyrone Daily Herald, Pennsylvania
November 16, 1905
Monongahela City, Pa., Nov. 16. -- Undoubtedly killed and probably blown to pieces, seven men are lying in the depths of the new shaft of the Braznell Coal Company, on the outskirts of Bentleyville, while another outside the mine is dead, as the result of a gas explosion.
The dead:
They were building a concrete water ring or ditch 50 feet down the shaft in order to catch dripping water. About five minutes after the men descended a terrific explosion occurred, which blew huge pieces of timber out of the mine like skyrockets as high as 150 feet into the air. The tipple and all the mine rigging were torn down and debris scattered in heaps all around. A shovel which lay at the top of the shaft was hurled with such violence that it sank four inches into a plank.
What must have befallen the seven men down in the shaft is terrible to contemplate. It is believed that they were instantly killed and probably fell to the bottom of the shaft. John McCatey, on the outside, was killed by the falling tipple, and others were seriously, though not fatally, hurt.
Mine Inspector Harry O. Loutein believes the explosion was caused by fire damp. He believes the gas came upward and reached the miners' lamps just as it was at the explosive point. But as it would have been practically impossible for safety lamps in working order to ignite the gas, it is a mystery what actually did ignite it. There must have been some kind of open light used. An ordinary miners' torch badly battered, was found near the mouth of the shaft, and this tends to show that someone disobeyed orders and carried a lighted torch into the shaft.

For the first few weeks of school our goal is to help the students gain a love for reading. We will be learning how to pick a "just right book" throughout the year, although sometimes they may still come home with books that are too hard for them (especially towards the beginning when any book is ok at the moment).
How can you assist your child with reading at home
Always try to fit in reading!
Once is not enough
Encourage your child to re-read favorite books and poems. Re-reading helps kids read more quickly and accurately.
Dig deeper into the story
Ask your child questions about the story you've just read. Say something like, "Why do you think Clifford did that?"
Connect prior knowledge – Ask them what they already know about the subject before they open the book.
Make a prediction – Ask them what they think will happen next.
Connections – Ask them questions such as do you have any connections (Have you been to a park like that?)
Retelling – Have them retell important parts of the story
Characters – Have them describe or tell about the traits of characters in the story.
Be patient
When your child is trying to sound out an unfamiliar word, give him or her time to do so. Remind them to look closely at the first letter or letters of the word.
If they don't know most the words
Read the pictures – have them describe in detail what is happening in the pictures and see if you can see any words that match (if there is a pizza in the picture look for that word)
Have them pick out words they do know such as simple sight words: a, the, at, home, etc.
Feel free to read the book along with them pointing to the words and maybe helping them sound out easy to read words.
If they know some words
Have the read the words they can and use strategies such as sounding it out, looking for word patterns, using the picture, etc. Whatever tools they are most comfortable with when coming upon a hard to read word. We will be going over new strategies throughout the year that will help them with this as well.
If they know all the words
Encourage them to read the book once, and again to see if they notice anything different.
Pick books that are at the right level
Help your child pick books that are not too difficult. The aim is to give your child lots of successful reading experiences.
Play word games
Have your child sound out the word as you change it from mat to fat to sat; from sat to sag to sap; and from sap to sip.
I read to you, you read to me
Take turns reading aloud. Kids enjoy this special time with their parents.
