Willis: Stealth buses on the road in Summit
Kent Willis
Wow, watch out, the new Summit Stage black, stealth buses are on the road. I had the pleasure of riding in one of these new buses today. It will take some getting used to these new buses. They are black on the outside with eye-popping yellow graphics. On the inside, they are smooth riding, warm, have comfortable seats and real reading lights! The single door at the front is a bit tricky for getting on and off, especially with large crowds of skiers and boarders. The drivers will let you know when you can get on. Hope you enjoy them.

Police arrested 26-year-old Moses Green of Beaumont on Sunday, April 21, for multiple charges, including assault on a public servant, after responding to a call of a disturbance at an apartment in the 5000 block of Helbig Road at approximately 3:15 a.m.
According to a press release from BPD, when officers arrived, Green's wife told them that her husband had been smoking crack cocaine in their bathroom. As officers were attempting to quiet the family disturbance, a neighbor told them that Green had just burglarized their apartment. The officers then attempted to take Green into custody, at which point he reportedly ran from them. Officers pursued Green through the apartment complex and caught up to him along the perimeter fencing. As officers attempted to handcuff Green, he began to resist violently and attempted to strike them with his fists., police reported. Officers were able to physically control Green and place him in handcuffs. He was transported to the county jail and charged with evading detention, assault on a public servant, burglary of a habitation, as well as several unrelated outstanding felony warrants.
Green was not injured during the arrest, and no officers were seriously hurt.

Handmade Home: Dream Catchers After a long day of sitting inside with a overworked air conditioning unit and streaming Orange is the New Black, I finished my dream catchers. I love the idea of dream catchers, that if you hang it above your bed it will catch the bad dreams and hold them in the net, and only the good dreams would filter through and slide down the feathers (in this case braids) and reach the sleeper.
Book Report Inspiration: DIY Embroidered Notebook Reading and writing have always been linked in my mind, so it seems natural to think about books and notebooks together. Growing up, I always had a notebook filled with stories and ideas, possible character names, settings, and quotes I loved from movies and television shows (many of which were from The X-Files and, as you might imagine, totally badass).
Book Report Inspiration: Personalized Leather Key Fobs There's no way around it: tooled leather detailing seems quintessentially Western. And for my final post on True Grit and Western inspiration, I decided it was high time I used the leather key fobs I've had in my craft box since last Christmas (when I tried to dye them using regular fabric dye which, by the way, does not work). Since I utterly lack the skillset and patience required for hand-tooling with awls and hammers and whatnot, I short-cutted using my wood burning tool.
Handmade Home: Pillow Talk Do you ever just sit inside on a Saturday morning and look around the living room for little ways to improve your space; then later look at the clock and realize you've spent your entire day slaving over a new project? Welcome to the weekend! This weekend Ben's Mom came in to town and I wanted to freshen up the living room with some new pillows (and had a dual purpose of shrinking the size of fabric stores that needed to be put away). So here's some Tuesday pillow talk.
Book Report Inspiration: Cowboy Hat Band When I came home to Tacoma, I discovered my old cowboy hat in the closet. I haven't worn it in years, and let's be honest, I don't really intend to wear it out anywhere. At twelve, when I was feeling like I could be a frontier girl, I paired the hat with my Jordache power jeans (which had leather panels from pocket to pocket across the front...so cool). Even though I don't have the pluck to wear a cowboy hat in public, I have put it on to mess around in the garden and, inexplicably, while cleaning.
Handmade Home: Framed Flora Recently, I have undertaken freshening up some spaces around the house. The first undertaking was to utilize some amazing things that I already have, or intentions that I already have. I've been thinking about those flora pressings that I got when I was back in Tacoma last year for Christmas, and was more than ready to get them up on the wall.
DIY: Easter Cards Okay, so if your family is like mine, they have an endless supply of amazing vintage cards, that you are eternally jealous of and pretty impressed that they have found so many. If you are like me, you don't have any of these cute vintage cards (except the ones graciously given to you). But guess what! You can make your own and be the envy of your friends.
DIY: Tiny Felted Earrings I've been thinking for a while that I should needle-felt some earrings--this week I decided to go for it. Turns out, it's a super-simple project, even if you've never needle-felted a day in your life.
DIY: Fern Watercolor As you may remember from my post last week, Monika recently turned 30 (and boys can also be jerks). As part of sister Monika's present, I wanted to paint her a little outdoors that she could bring indoors. Cue the ferns!
Make: Spring Pennants There have been high levels of crafting in our household as of late, which are just going to be amplified now that we have an extra hour of daylight to work with! I don't know about you, but I feel my creative motivation seem to deflate when the sun sets. Like I am a reverse vampire (No. That doesn't make any sense.). Like I am a flower closing up for the night (Ugh. No. Why would I even think that?). How about that as soon as the sun goes down my brain starts craving a blanket and some good ol' fashioned Agatha Christie. That. That sounds like a better depiction of why my motivation shifts in the evening.
DIY: Spring Garland I'm trying to gear up for some massive egg painting, spring pastels, nature coming alive and more time in the day. So I have decided to make a garland to keep spring on my mind. What a perfect use for the hand dyed string Christine gave me for Christmas, so excited. Natural decorations are free and always lovely in a rugged way.

DIY: Sew Some Knitting Bags I'm much more of a knitter than a sewer...but every now and again it helps to sew in order to knit. Like when I decided that I didn't want to spend upwards of $20 on some knitting pouches when I could just sew myself some in about an hour. You can too! It's really easy. Pick out some of your favorite fabric. I used fat quarters that I bought at a fabric store near my mom's house before it closed down. I ended up using the pineapple fabric and the fabric that looks like there are a bunch of little people. read more...
DIY: Crayons + Watercolors = Prints Inspired by the cool crystalline shapes of these rubber stamps by Extase, I decided to make a little geometric art this week. I know, I know. You're probably like, Great. More geometric stuff. Soooooo played out. Just like brushing your teeth.BUT the straight lines and clean graphic quality of geometric shapes lends itself handily to this sort of project. AND geometric shapes are fairly easy to handle, even for straight-line-a-phobes like me...
DIY: Chair Runners I am not sure if these are actually classified as chair runners or not, but that's what I am calling them. Also, the title to this post would be much too long if I were to say DIY: some cute hand embroidered fabric to drape on the back of your chairs to spice things up a bit. So with that, this is how I made my chair runners...
DIY: Happy Valentine's Day, No One! I stumbled upon this recipe for 2 cupcakes on Pinterest a few weeks back, so I thought why not give it a go? In order to Valentine the cupcakes up a bit, I decided to make a quick and easy topper using supplies I already had. I used these bamboo forks--already arrow shaped--took a black and a pink marker and drew on some arrow details, then added a cute little heart. The frosting was made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and red food coloring.
Make: Spray Painted Cockatoo For whatever reason I have a couple large cockatoo ceramic statues. I love as is, the other I have never really taken a strong liking, and since I never shy away from painting some glazed ceramics I decided to take a shot and go for it once again. (Do you love the bottlebrush trees? They were a second Christmas gift from Christine--she bleached and dyed them herself. I think they're swell.) Here is my adventure in spray painting another ceramic piece...

DIY: Honeycomb Hearts I've been at the Museum's Library & Archives looking at old Valentine's Day cards again. And I've run across several that feature honeycomb hearts, so that's what I set out to create! For something that looks fairly complex, they're actually quite simple to construct. You'll need cardstock, tissue paper, scissors, glue stick, yarn needle, and string.
DIY: Cocktail Napkins More second Christmas treasures revealed! The Nicolai's love their tea towels, (embroidered, dyed, inked, or printed) so I hoped the same love would be extended to cocktail napkins. These particular cocktail napkins were inspired byAnthropologie's Naraka Napkins, and here's how I made them. Plain cotton blend fabric, that I waited in a crazy Saturday line to purchase. You're welcome, sisters. Also, I used part of a cd case as a pattern to cut the fabric. The case was from an awesome mix tape Christine made me.
DIY: Lovebird Wreath I decided to update my front door wreath for Valentine's Day. I wanted a simple, cute little wreath. I already had a gold wreath up I made for Christmas with two turtle doves. I purchased the wreath and the doves from the Dollar Tree. You might remember I made my own Dollar Tree bug wreath for Halloween because apparently the Dollar Tree and I know how to get DIY door wreaths done like none other. Anyway, for this wreath, you'll need wool roving, a felting needle, and a felting block.
DIY: Confetti-filled Paper Hearts It seems I'm perpetually behind on every holiday, so I decided to get a jumpstart on Valentine's Day with a simple project. This will be my year. I plan to keep telling myself that until I make it so. (Jean-Luc Picard reference!) As usual, I wandered my apartment looking for materials and inspiration, and I happened upon some thrifted confetti and thought:Hmm. This is festive, now if only I had a way to contain it...
Make: Someone Loves You, Valentine. I have long been contemplating completing a stately project, a gift, small token or treasure for someone...or many ones. After making some cloth bookmarks last week, I had it all worked out. Who wouldn't love to receive (or give) a lovely stately measure of their esteem. Luckily for all of us it's pretty dang easy, and pretty dang sweet...
DIY: Cloth Bookmarks I remember when we were younger and would frequent Waldenbooks (RIP), and after we found our reading delight would stand at the swivel rack of bookmarks and admire them so. I seem to remember a special unicorn bookmark, that belonged to Christine (maybe...?) that I would covet. Makes me sad to think what that bookmark-enthused little girl would say to present-day me knowing I use thing such as receipts, torn off pieces of paper, bobby pins, and dog eared pages to mark my place. I don't think she'd be happy, and that's unacceptable.
DIY: Glitter Pinecone Garland Confession...I don't LOOOOVVVEEEE Christmas. I mean, sure I like it ok, but I don't like that after December 25th, all the Christmas stuff has to come down. I'm much more inclined to lump my decorating together into more of an appreciation for winter. Which is why this DIY pine cone garland is the perfect home decoration before, during, and after Christmas! Gather up your supplies. I collected some pine cones from the Evergreen forest when I went mushroom hunting with Nicholas.
DIY: Rorschach Prints I've been thinking a lot lately about the clean graphic quality of Rorschach prints. That's not weird, right? I know the inkblot test has largely fallen out of fashion in the psychiatric community, which is probably for the best since they do seem a tad pseudoscientific. But Rorschach's original prints are really quite beautiful nonetheless. And our tendency to assign meaning to patterns in an attempt to make sense of random shapes (an example of Pareidolia) is really pretty cool. Window to the brain!
DIY: House Silhouette Wrapping Paper Last month Buzzfeed approached us and asked if we'd like to participate in their holiday wrapping edition of Craft Wars. We were all like: OF COURSE! And we got straight to work on an idea for seasonal, easy, cheap, and fetching wrapping paper. Sisters, activate!
Make: A Dog Bed for Under $5 So I have two big dogs, hard wood floors, and a deficit in my checking account because of all the USDs I have spent on dog beds that were hideous to look at, couldn't fit in the washing machine, and ultimately got left outside in the rain until they were tossed (I am being brutally honest right now). Naturally I have thought about making a bed for my precious pooches before, but until recently it didn't dawn on me how easy and affordable it could be.
DIY: Fern Stencil Pillow So I had this really great step-by-step tutorial on how to make a pillow using a fern. HAD. Then my computer broke and the folks at Apple are having the trickiest time fixing it. Because of all of this, I lost every one of my pictures. Luckily, I instagram enough and texted Christine some updates. I gathered some sword ferns from the Evergreen Forest when Nick and I went mushroom hunting. I picked up some Martha Stewart acrylic paints I used Wild Salmon in the satin finish.

DIY: Unconventional Advent Calendar Well, Thanksgiving is over, so it must be Christmastime, right? I mean, I've been hearing holiday music at the grocery store for about three weeks now. (Slight eye roll.) Still, it's hard to deny that once we near the end of November, the Christmas spirit starts creeping up, and that spirit is aggressive. Well, this year I'm ready because I made an advent calendar. Maybe you're thinking: Advent calendar, huh? Why's that better than a regular calendar? Umm, only because it involves little presents or candy.
DIY: Tassel Necklace Do you ever have a hankering to make a necklace and aren't sure what to do? Problem solved. Make a tassel necklace, it's easy and you can make it any color you want to adorn any outfit... Meet your supplies; glue gun, yarn, scissors, jewelry pliers, and jewelry devices. To make your tassel wrap the yarn around a flat object, then pull off the yarn loop and cut one of the sides. Tie your tassel off in the center and fluff it. I understand this isn't the best DIY tassel instructions, but if my vague explanation doesn't cut it for you, check this out.
DIY: Thanksgiving Inspired Cat Toys! In the spirit of giving thanks, I decided I would give thanks to Peanut (even though she's bad all the time) and make her some Thanksgiving inspired handmade cat toys! These are pretty easy to make, and they don't require much in the way of supplies or skills. You will need some felt, catnip, embroidery thread, needle, scissors, crinkly trash, and something to stuff the toys with--I used some acrylic yarn I had around. I purchased these sheets of felt at JoAnn's for $0.35 a sheet.
Make: Black Beauty-ful Bookends I love ceramics. I love to find them, and repaint them; it makes me so happy. So you can imagine the joy I felt when I happened upon these wonderful ceramic horse head bookends at a local thrift store. But they weren't always the Black Beauty(s) that you see here... Meet the original ceramic book ends. These might have fit quite nicely into the room Catherine and I shared, with the unicorn wall paper, but even then the pale blue mane might have clashed with the shade of pink dressing our walls.
DIY: Arrow Rack I found a bunch of old arrows while messing around in Dad's shop a couple months back and have been going back and forth about what to do with them. I finally committed to turning them into a rack for necklaces. If you've visited us before, you may remember my tree branch necklace holder. Apparently, I'm big on necklace display. Not surprisingly, this project requires a few arrows, and unlike me, you might not just stumble across arrows as part of your everyday activities. So, here are several ideas on where to procure arrows of your very own...
Make: Halloween Banner Like my sisters I enjoy going to the dollar store to find goodies, this trip not only did I pick up some little cardboard letters, but I also grabbed some creepy crawlies (as seen on a spooky wreath or scary garland), and I rushed home to make a Halloween banner. I was surprised to find that all the required letters were present to spell h-a-p-p-y h-a-l-l-o-w-e-en, but the colors just wouldn't do.
DIY: Skeleton Garland This fancy pants skeleton garland was very easy to make; it cost next to nothing, and is really quite creepy. You can make one too--check out how... I bought the skeletons in a grab bag from the Dollar Tree. You might remember my gilded bug wreath I posted a couple of days ago. This skeleton garland compliments the wreath nicely, and was created using the same supplies. First things first, go to the Dollar Tree and buy a grab bag of bugs and skeletons. You can pick from purple, green, and orange.
Halloween Gilded Bug Wreath Halloween is only 2 weeks away! You know what that means? You better get to getting on your golden bug door wreath... You may remember that I've been busy knitting on a secret project. Well, I've still been working hard on the project, but it's taking forever and a day. I also had a little accident...Consider the image below a reenactment of what went wrong. Now, don't fret, my thumb is healing nicely and I think in no time I will be flying through the purls and knits on my secret project. In the meantime, I crafted a wreath. And you should too!
DIY: Skeletor Skin!! So yes, if you can't tell already, we are excited about Halloween. When Christine and Catherine visited Burbank a couple weeks ago, the task we were charged with was a tutorial on creating a skeleton face. We soon realized this was easier than we made it. Since it was Christine's idea, she was the guinea pig, and boy, am I glad of that. She received the full effect of our inexperience, including the joy I'm sure she felt when we took her outside and put flour all over her face.
Make: Jon Snow And Ghost Costumes Halloween is quickly approaching and year after year I ask Ben if we can do a couples costume, and year after year we throw something together at the last minute. Usually it turns out really amazing, but never has it been a good couples costume. So this year I find myself, yet again, in the same dilemma...but I thought of a way to get some mileage out of him yet: force him to dress up with me for a blog post! And even though it's not Halloween, this weekend, for a little while at least, he was the Jon Snow to my Ghost.
DIY: Animal Spirit Masks While visiting Monika in Burbank, we decided that some serious sister crafting was in order. And since it's Halloween time, what better project than spirit animal masks constructed from paper? So, dear intrepid crafters, collect your supplies: cardstock, glue sticks, scissors, and writing implements. Pssst! Don't forget your creativity... Make a template. We used grocery bags because we didn't want to waste our precious paper.
Make: Merit Badges Do you long for the days when after you completed a fun feat you got to sew on a badge of honor to display your accomplishment? I wanted to revisit those days in my adult life and award some badges to others for their merits. I think it's always important to recognize milestones and achievements of your near and dear. So when my two best lady friends both experienced large life milestones in the same month, I had to get to sewing.
Trash Into Treasure I finished my little ombré trash necklace this week. Wait. What? Yes, I said trash. Here's the scoop: I'm calling it a trash necklace because the ombré bits are actually made from trash. OK, that might not require the extensive explanation I had planned. Still, when I say trash, I'm not talking about trash I dug out of the dump pile exactly (though that'd be pretty excellent, too)...this is actually something I'd previously tossed without a thought. And then one fateful day, I started wondering if maybe I could find a use for this particular bit of refuse. Turns out, I could. Without further ado, I give you the secret of the ombré trash necklace...
You're In My Favor I don't know if you remember my lovely friend Dawn and her plans to wed in the summertime in Washington, but if you do you may recall that she had some aspiring plans for a wedding of whimsy and sweet sentiment. She wanted small cloth tea napkins with hand embroidered images befitting a backyard wedding, all on the night of a nautical full moon. I gladly volunteered to hand embroider napkins to dress her wedding tables, and here's how it went...
Golden Corgi Nicholas' birthday was towards the end of July and because he loves corgis so much, I decided to make a special topper for his birthday key lime pie. I didn't just stop at a corgi topper. I went ahead and made toppers out of the whole wild kingdom. Take a look and maybe you'll be inspired to make your own gilded toppers. If you are so inspired, I included an easy-to-follow tutorial.
What Are The Deathly Hallows? I originally bought a wood burning tool to complete my heirloom recipe box project, but I realized that since I didn't know how the varnished wood (cedar maybe?) would react to the process, I might be safer going the paint route. Plus, I didn't want to burn the heck out of my nice vintage recipe box. So, there's the genesis of my wood burning odyssey. So, I started thinking about making a wood-burned Deathly Hallows plaque for the sisters. I think it was because I saw this awesome DH tattoo on pinterest (the original source seems to have disapperated. Yes, I did just write that.).
Etch-Your-Sketch-Cocktail Glasses! Nicholas loves to make cocktails, so for his birthday I decided to create some customized glasses for all of the delicious cocktails he makes. Step 1--Ready the supplies. I bought all the glasses at Cost Plus World Market. I think everything was $3.99 a piece. The Armour Etch was leftover from a project Christine did years ago, but I did confirm that you can buy it at Michael's (with a coupon, it would run you about $6). You'll need contact paper (Target $5), a sponge brush, scissors, and gloves.
Summer Mists All of my complaints about the unseasonably cool summer disappeared over the last couple of weeks when Spokane has made the sudden transition to hot weather. How quickly we forget, or at least I forget, once the temp jumps to 96 degrees. Ughhhhhhh. But while flipping through an old Martha Stewart magazine, as I am wont to do while eating my cereal in the mornings, I came across a simple summer pick-me-up: the all-natural mist. Part of my routine for keeping cool is to put water on every bit of exposed skin and just let it evaporate as nature intended.
DIY Stamps Last week, I decided that some stamps were in order. What do I plan on stamping? Who the heck knows? Wait, scratch that. Let's go with: What don't I plan on stamping? Currently, everything is getting the stamp treatment around here, including correspondence, junk mail, and my arms. I just can't resist. I'm a stamping maniac. It's a good thing Matilda isn't one of those hairless Sphynx kitties or she'd be stamped the hell up right now.
Branching Out Do you remember my cemetery branch from like four months ago? Well, today I finally decided its destiny. Here's my branch. That knob on the end looks like a fetal giraffe head. Or is it just me? For my base, I picked up a pine clock face from Michael's. I think it was $4.00-5.00. A bit more than I would usually spend, but I was pretty set on having a pre-drilled hole, mostly because I don't own a drill. But I do own lots of pocket knives of varying sizes and blades, so my plan was to enlarge the hole via knife. My dad, who was an incredible woodworker, would be mortified, I'm sure.
$1 Wreath I've been meaning to get some kind of festive spring/summer wreath on the front door since the day I took down my Christmas wreath (mind you that wasn't in December, I took it down February-ish--stop judging). I had an extra wreath form leftover from Christmas. I bought mine at the Dollar Tree. They're wrapped straw, and they worked well for covering in tree branches at Christmas and covering in yarn for summer! Step one: acquire a wreath.
Intergalactic Planetary Here's where yesterday's space musing led me... Why, if it isn't a bleach-dyed black clutch! The beginnings were in two black bags found at JoAnn's. They were on clearance for $3.00 or $4.00. I just purchased them like three days ago. So, it's probably something you can still find in their store. I found a "spray bottle" (recently emptied, rinsed, and waiting patiently in my recycle bin) and mixed equal parts water with bleach. Remember: bleach is bleach. Consider that you might get misted. Wear old clothes.
Berry Lovely Necklace A while ago, I was at the craft store looking for nothing and everything, and I happened upon some pastel beads that resembled berries... and so I decided to make a berry lovely necklace. As I mentioned, the beads were pastel, which doesn't scream juicy ripe berries, so, I painted them. I decided to use some nail polish so that they would be nice and glossy. I rigged a bead holder out of some wire so that I wouldn't get paint on my fingers--it was still a messy process. Make sure you have nail polish remover on hand.
Noble Neon I realize neon is a big thing again. Whatever. I'm thrilled because now I can find neon stuff, like wallets and whatnot, everywhere. And maybe in two months, I won't be so thrilled. But for now, I'm soaking it up. Well, not literally. Actually, strike that. Reverse it. Since neon is a noble gas (and on the periodic table of elements!!!), it is present in the air in trace amounts, which means that all of us are sort of soaking up neon. OH, SCIENCE SLAM! But in truth, neon's allure has nothing to do with the fact that it's an element. For me, neon is all about these fannypacks Monika and I had as kids.
One Was Pink and the Other Gold I decided I was done with these gold "hecho in mexico" frames I'd purchased at estate sales over the years. They needed something new and fresh done to them, so I thought....spray paint. I have 2 different frames like this, but one is a little bit more ornate. They both worked out well. I also printed new pictures from last fall's vacation to Iceland/Copenhagen/Stockholm.
Friendship Necklace Remember when you were 10 and you and your sisters would wrap embroidery floss around a little chunk of hair at the base of your neck? Yeah, me too!!!! This necklace reminded me of that. In full disclosure, I was with Christine and our mom at Target a few weeks back when we came across this necklace. Christine and I immediately decided it was ridiculous to pay for this when we could easily make it (Hello, we're Girl Scouts!).
Brace Yourself It's so dismal here in Spokane. Rain and snow, gloominess for days, and barely any green in sight. Blargh. So, I decided it was time to paint one of the wooden bracelets I found on clearance. And the color: GREEN.
Neon Dream Upon seeing Monika's terracotta pots, I became obsessed with the idea of getting my own terracotta pots and painting the rims gray with neon stripes. SO OBSESSED. Yes, an obsession worthy of all caps. What obsession isn't? Anyway, after finding several serviceable pots at an estate sale, I knew it was time to make the dream a reality.
St. Valentine's Diorama I wanted to make sisters Monika and Christine Valentines dioramas for February the 14th. I wasn't exactly sure what scene to display, but after I found some cute little polar bears (picked up last time I was visiting Monika in Burbank), I knew that a lovely little arctic scene-in-a-box would be just the ticket.
Up Through the Atmosphere, Up Where the Air is Clear... Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and I love hot air balloons! Even though in Mary Poppins no one sings about hot air ballons, they do sing about kites, and hot air balloons go to higher heights than kites--so I think it's fitting to invoke those movies. Also, does anyone else remember in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when Grandpa Potts sets to the skies in his little house?
Merry Potter I recently discovered this amazing $0.98 store down the street from my house. It's great! I have already purchased a gold sequin headband, miniature dinosaur skeletons, tape, glue sticks, and now these great terracotta pots! The most amazing thing about this store is its legitimacy, these pots were actually $0.98 each.
Let's Go Fly a Kite! Yes, a kite garland. The perfect combination of paper and string, geometric shapes, and primary colors. It's just suddenly so spring-like, I was compelled to create something cheery. Bear in mind, all the cutting and gluing is time intensive and can become, after a while, rather disheartening. But that's all forgotten once your garland begins to take shape.
Throw Your Diamonds in the Sky! I've been extra excited about glitter and sparkles lately. Those recent shiny cravings inspired this cheap, but satisfying craft project. I made some glitter diamond garlands that are good for decorating on special occasions or (in my case) every single day of the week. First off you buy some glitter paper at the local craft store.
A Little Gift I made this little gift for Audra, a lovely lady who just celebrated her 30th birthday.
It's pleasing on the eyes, and a fun gift to give and hopefully get. You can really have a lot of fun with it, use any small ceramic (or glass) bowl, cup or what have you. I just used a white ceramic cup, but you could really step it up with some crazy colors or make it sweet with some pretty pastels.

Cotton Clothesline Baskets! This is a tutorial for an easy-to-make and extremely useful basket. Nicholas' mom first taught me how to make these a few years ago, and I've been making them ever since. You need to have a sewing machine for this project, but it doesn't have to be anything fancy. In addition to the machine, you'll need to grab some clothesline.
Plate Tectonics: The Cards So if you are anything like us sisters, you love all things paper--especially if they have to do with some old school correspondence (letter writing and such). But if you are specifically like me, you find that you just don't follow through, for instance my Christmas/New Years cards just went in the mail today. So when I send out something I try to actually put a little love, blood, and time into it...
Pom-Pom Mania! I had a craving for some pom-poms today, so I went ahead and fixed myself a whole heap load of poms. This is the container I used to collect all the scraps, but it kind of looks like a delicious yarn drink. Peanut was helping me take inventory. If you don't know how to make pom-poms, don't fret, I'll show you! First you get out your yarn, scissors, and some thread.

Little Boxes, Little Boxes, Little Boxes Made of Ticky-Tacky... So every now and then we are all guilty of gleaning ideas and inspiration. Well, here is my confession of such a replication. The picture below is a shop in East LA; I was walking by it one afternoon and noticed their window decorations. It was clear to me as soon as I saw them what must be done. Consider them the victim of gleaning.
Sparkle & Fade The silver and gold pipe cleaners will not be denied. Let's make some sparkly table decorations! Supplies: small glass jar or candleholder, tealights, matches, pipe cleaners* Graft the pipe cleaners together. Make sure they're tight, like best friends.
You Don't Have to be 14 to be into Nail Art! That's a fact. I did however learn how to stamp my nails by watching a 14-year-old girl give a tutorial on youtube. She was most helpful. About a month ago I purchased some nail plate kits on amazon. Don't ask. It just kind of happened. Anyway, when they arrived in the mail I realized I didn't know how to use them. I went to youtube and found out I had forgotten to order the stamper that goes along with the nail kit. Big mistake.
Simple Silhouettes Last year, I sent a Christmas ornament care package to the sisters. It contained, in part, a set of Nature-themed paper silhouette ornaments. I decided to make some for myself this year, and it only seemed natural to document the process. It's really simple and the result, in white paper, is quite elegant.
Monika vs. the Volcano I was a Mountain for Halloween. I did a lot of ranting about pyroclastic flows and Plinian eruptions (while constructing my costume I was watching documentaries on Mt. Vesuvius...and the X-Files...and Doctor Who). I will take you through how I created the look.
Garlands, Garlands, Garlands! I feel like I've completely hijacked this idea, but I'm being honest about it, so it's totally fine. Christine originally blogged about these 3D paper garlands, and when I visited Monika in Burbank, I saw all of the leaves that Christine and Monika had made during Christine's visit. (Are you keeping up with me? I know I'm referencing a lot of sisters here.) I was inspired by Christine's idea and Monika's crafty execution of it, so I decided to pretty much copy it exactly.

Warm Glow I'm working an event at the Museum tonight, which means I have an entire morning and afternoon left to my own devices. What to do with all the time? Why, make a quick little craft, of course. Paper covered candles: probably one of the easiest crafts ever and lovely on the table or fireplace mantel.
Yo-Yo, Best Check It Out. Okay so I was strolling around a craft store last month and found some lovely little wooden yo-yos. I was naturally drawn to them on account of the wood and the possibilities. So I purchased three (for three sisters) and knew right away what I wanted to do. I wanted to use primary colors, I have really been attracted to them lately, maybe because of their simplicity.
Jungle Green You might have seen this craft project floating around the DIY blogs lately--I know I did. I suggest you give it a go. I think this project would be the perfect art piece for a kid's room or nursery. I put mine in the bathroom (same thing really). This project is cheap, quick, and lots of fun. My cat loved it too!
Fortune Favors the Crafty! As promised, here's a tutorial for the paper fortune teller. 1. You'll need to start with a square. I used an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Start in one corner and fold the bottom edge up so it meets the side.
Dale Chihuly, Eat Your Heart Out! I saw this ingenious diy light fixture on design sponge a while back. It's been on my to-do-list for quite some time. Last month I ventured up to Ikea with Nicholas and mother and purchased 2 standard-sized paper lanterns to modify. After gathering the rest of supplies from the craft store (tacky glue), I started cutting and gluing like mad. You want to make a paper lantern?
Bring the Ocean Home...to Your Bathroom Summer has finally arrived in Washington. It's certainly been a slow start for the Pacific Northwest. This last week, I celebrated feeling better and the nice weather with a trip to Westport to relax on the beach for a while. It was my first real outing in 9+ days. The only downside to the day was that there wasn't a single dead thing washed up on shore. That's really the best part of the ocean.
Strike a Match My boss, Lori, clued me into this project. It's so incredibly easy. All you need are matchboxes, paper, and glue. Check out the matchbox Lori gave me. Cool, right? I don't have Lori's patience for making things pretty, but mine are still cute. I started with wrapping paper, but really any paper that strikes your fancy will work.
It's Only a Paper Ring While I was in Tacoma, I found my copy of The Buck Book. It's a book of origami patterns for dollar bills. I bought it when I was 13 or so, and it came with a dollar bill. Instant rebate! The Buck Book is something I've been thinking about for a while...one of those weird recollections that pops up out of nowhere while I'm reading work emails. Hey, what ever happened to that book about folding dollar bills?
I Spent the Whole Weekend Making a Scratching Post... This weekend I started a project that was a bit out of my real of expertise. I finished the project, and while I am extremely pleased with the results, I will never attempt something like this ever again. I give you the epic journey that was...THE CAT TOWER!
Hearts on a String Now is as good a time as any to confess that in the past couple of weeks, whenever I've been on the phone with someone, I've had the overwhelming certainty that I'm going to end the conversation by saying: I love you. This, to me, is totally bizarre. I'm talking about work conversations here, telemarketer conversations, discussions with my landlord about mold. But still, as I reach the end of the chat, a little voice in my head says: I love you?
Ribbon Necklace While doing a bit of cleaning in preparation for Catherine's visit on Thursday, and I came across my pile of supplies for ribbon necklaces. This discovery reminded me that I've been meaning to post something about the ribbon necklace forever. And since I'm always looking for an excuse to abandon cleaning, I decided to declare time-out for a project. No real skill necessary, but the end result is quite nice.

Abuse isn't just about bruises. Not all forms of abuse leave bruises where we can see them,What Happens When You Press Charges For Domestic Violence in 2018 . Although physical abuse is terrifying and needs to be addressed immediately there are other forms of abuse that can cause significant damage. One type of abuse that is very difficult for outsiders to detect is financial abuse. Marriage should be a partnership but when one spouse completely dominates the finances to the point that the other spouse has no control and no options financial abuse may be occurring.
What Are Signs of Potential Financial Abuse?
Every married couple handles their finances differently. In some cases one spouse handles the majority of the finances. They manage the accounts, pay the bills and deal with creditors. That does not by itself equal financial abuse.
Financial abuse occurs when one spouse is treated like an irresponsible child and Domestic Violence Essay Pdf . They are cut off from funds and their knowledge about the couple's finances is severely limited. Some signs of financial abuse include:
•Strict Allowances. This isn't an amount that the spouses have agreed to limit themselves to but is instead a set amount that is grudgingly handed out from one spouse to the other and is all that will be given.
Documents, documents, documents. Written evidence is incredibly strong and can range from credit card bills showing that there is a credit card but that you aren't named on it to emails from your spouse that show the financial abuse.
Other witnesses can be incredibly powerful on your behalf. Financial abuse is hard for people outside the relationship to detect. So when someone credible comes in and tells the judge that it is happening and they can see it the judge will listen and Domestic Violence On Children .
What Happens When You Press Charges For Domestic Violence in 2018 ?
When you have a brief encounter with a narcissist, you might not realize that the person has a personality disorder which is typified by being very self-absorbed and lacking in empathy for others. However, when you are a target of narcissistic abuse, and are in a relationship with this person, your every day life becomes confusing and painful.
Before getting into ways you can rebuild your self-esteem, let's take a moment to describe the behavior of a narcissist for those who might not be clear about what the term means. An individual with narcissistic personality disorder goes through life with an overwhelming need to be validated all the time, and told they are wonderful, smarter than anyone else and are entitled to only the finest treatment by everyone. They take offense easily, and get angry quickly if they interpret a remark as being an insult. In their craving for attention and approval, they are usually adept at being charming when they want something from someone else, and then if they are refused will have an almost instant transformation into being very angry. They are quick to judge other people as inferior, and enjoy using phrases that are racist, demeaning and derogatory of other groups of people.
For example, a narcissist, feeling he is superior to everyone else, will commonly say things like, "The masses are asses!"
While some people like to say that a narcissist is someone with excess self-love or vanity, that really doesn't do more than give a surface definition. To know more, you have to understand a bit about how this disorder began, and it is typically stated in definitions of the disorder that it began with trauma early in childhood, during the phase when the child should have been developing a healthy sense of self. Instead, the child formed the opinion, usually as a result of abusive treatment including neglect, that he was not good enough the way he was and needed to create a "perfect" persona to show to the world to gain that all-important approval the child craved.
4. Are you still breathing? A relationship with a narcissistic abuser can feel devastating, but notice that you are still alive, and that means there is more for you to do and enjoy in this life, free from abuse. Part of your birthright is that you deserve to enjoy a life that you truly love wherein you make your dreams come true and feel happier than you ever believed possible. You can achieve this switch from victim to victorious by refusing to let the abuser win. Dismiss all those negative things he or she assaulted you with.
5. Every day, repeat this affirmation to yourself several times, out loud if possible so that you hear a voice telling you this: "I do enough, I am good enough, I am enough." Use the power of positive affirmations to build high self-esteem so that you will gradually replace those old negative statements that you accepted as true just because an abuser said them so often with great authority.
It is not an overnight process to rebuild your self-esteem when you have been repeatedly abused by a partner or parent with narcissistic personality disorder, but don't give up. Keep your focus on building a life for yourself where you only attract loving people and loving events to you, and you will soon find yourself smiling and enjoying peace of mind and glowing, healthy self-esteem.
Does Violence Begins at Home?
1. Sticks and stones won't break my bones" - and words won't leave any measurable physical damage, but they will cause progressive, long-term harm. Never underestimate the power of words: words are used to brainwash.
Being told you are "stupid", "ugly", "lazy" or "worthless" is never acceptable. The first times you hear it, it will hurt, naturally. In time you "may get used to" hearing it from a partner. That's when you start to internalise and believe it. When that happens you are doing the other person's work of putting you down for them. This is why your feelings of self-worth suffer increasingly over time.
The good news is that just as words have been used to bring you down, you can learn to harness the power of words to build you up and restore your confidence and belief in yourself.
2. You are always told that it's your fault. Somehow, whatever happens, however it starts, the ultimate blame is always yours. Notice that we are talking ultimate blame here. The blaming partner will always tell you that their behaviour was caused by what you said or did. In fact, their argument runs along the lines that you can't possibly blame them for anything, because if you hadn't said what you said, or done what you did it would never have happened.
3. You're more inclined to believe your partner than you are to believe yourself. Have you ever reeled with a sense of hurt and injustice, or seethed with anger at the way you've been treated? Have you found yourself asking: "Is it reasonable to feel like this?" "Am I misinterpreting things?" "Have I got it wrong?"
If this is you, what it means is that you have become so brainwashed you've stopped trusting in your own judgement. Your mind keeps throwing up the observations and questions because, deep down, you know that what is happening is utterly wrong. But right now you can't feel the strength of your own convictions.
4. You need your partner to acknowledge your feelings. Have you ever felt desperate to make your partner hear what you are saying and apologise for the hurtful things they've said? Have you ever felt that only they can heal the pain they've caused?
Does your need for them to validate your feelings keep you hooked into the relationship?
When a partner constantly denies or refuses to listen to your feelings, that is, unquestionably, mental abuse.
5. Your partner blows hot and cold. He can be very loving but is often highly critical of you. He may tell you how much he loves you, yet he is short on care or consideration towards you. In fact, some of the time, maybe even a lot of the time, he treats you as if you were someone he truly dislikes.
You do everything you can to make him happy, but it's never good enough. You're more like the pet dog in the relationship than you are the equal partner. Your constant efforts to get his attention and please him meet with limited success. Sometimes he'll be charmed, often he's dismissive.
If you find yourself puzzling about how your partner can treat you that way, it is because you are trying to live in a love-based relationship, when in reality you are living in a control-based relationship. The mental abuser struggles with his own feelings of worthlessness and uses his relationship to create a feeling of personal power, at his partner's expense.
6. You feel as if you are constantly walking on eggshells. There is a real degree of fear in the relationship. You have come to dread his outbursts, the hurtful things that he will find to say to you. (Maybe the same anxiety and need to please spill over into your other relationships also.)
Fear is not part of a loving relationship, but it is a vital part of a mentally abusive relationship. It enables the abuser to maintain control over you.
7. You can heal. Mentally abusive relationships cause enormous emotional damage to the loving partner who tries, against all odds, to hold the relationship together and, ultimately, can't do it, because her partner is working against her.
Whether you are currently in a mentally abusive relationship, have left one recently, or years later are still struggling with the anxieties and low self-worth and lack of confidence caused by mental abuse, it is never too late to heal.
But you do need to work with a person or a programme specifically geared to mental abuse recovery.
Women who have suffered mental abuse expect radical change of themselves, and they expect it right away. This is why they often struggle and, not uncommonly, take up with another abusive partner.
Mental abuse recovery is a gradual process. Low self-worth and limiting beliefs about what kind of future the abuse sufferer can ever hope for are the blocks that can stop women from moving on. But they are blocks that you can clear very effectively. Just as language was once used to harm you, you can now learn how language can heal you. You can overcome past mental abuse and keep yourself safe from it in the future. You can also learn to feel strong, believe in yourself and create the life and the relationships you truly want.

Listen to the First Songs From Ariana Grande's 'My Everything'by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Arianators, you might want to be sitting down for this! MTV is currently streaming some of the brand-new songs from Ariana Grande's upcoming album, 'My Everything,' and you can listen to them right here — right now! Eeek.
First up is 'Love Me Harder,' a super sultry duet between Ari and the Weeknd. The track is rocking somewhat of an '80s vibe, and we can't get over the wickedly sexy lyrics!
"And if in the moment I bite my lip / baby in that moment you'll know this is something bigger than us," Ariana sings, as the Weeknd later croons: "Can you feel the pressure between your hips / I'll make you feel like the first time." Whoa!
We're totally digging the straight-up R&B sound of 'Be My Baby,' featuring Cashmere Cat. The track continues with the seductive theme from 'Love Me Harder,' with lyrics like "If you know how to be my lover, maybe you can be my baby / Hold me close under the covers, kiss me boy and drive me crazy." We're definitely feelin' the more mature vibe on 'My Everything' so far!
Next is the Harry Styles-penned ballad 'A Little Bit of Your Heart,' and Ariana's strong vocals shine through on the stripped-down, melodic track. The song is gorgeously poignant, a simple ode to love with just Ari's voice and the soothing notes of a piano in the background. "Just a little bit of your heart / Just a little bit of your heart / Just a little bit of your heart is all I want," she croons on the chorus.
Ariana kicks it up a notch with the final preview track, 'Why Try.' The song boasts a steady drum beat in the background, but her voice is once again the standout on the smooth song, letting those vocals do their thing as she belts her heart out on the bridge.
Listen to the four songs from 'My Everything' above, and don't forget to pick up the album when it drops on Aug. 25!

Creating Visible Leadership to Make Business Change Successful
Change is a constant in the world of business, and when faced with business change, leaders can respond in one of the following three ways:
Do nothing and just hope it all works out.
Manage it with a project plan from a cubicle or corner office.
Lead the change with words and actions that support the future state.
Successfully led changes, with visible leadership, result in shorter project timelines, widespread ownership of the change, and an organization ready to take on future challenges.
What is visible leadership? Visible leadership includes three key components: setting a vision, actively discussing the change, and knowing the impact.
Setting a clear vision for leadership
The first job for a leader who wants to visibly and proactively drive change is to create a crystal clear vision of what the future will look like for the employees and then communicate it with passion. Leaders do this by walking employees through the status quo or "the current way things are done around here" to the desired state of where the organization wants to be once the change happens. Change leaders build a powerful case for the change, then work relentlessly to generate understanding and consensus.
Actively discussing the business change
Change leaders don't just wave a magic wand and then hide out until the change is done. Visible leadership means the change leaders are out there talking about the change, adjusting their own behaviors to align with the change strategy, and actively addressing concerns voiced by employees.
Knowing the impact of change in a business
During change, visible leadership focuses on helping to identify negative reactions and barriers and knocking them down one by one. Common barriers to change may come from fear — fear of losing control, losing status, diminished compensation, loss of job security, or being asked to take on a bigger workload. Visible leaders help to align agendas and balance interests to reduce concerns and conflicts.

3:10 to Yuma Synopsis
3:10 TO YUMA stars Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Ben Foster, Gretchen Mol and Peter Fonda in a modern take on the classic western by Elmore Leonard from producing/writing/ directing team Cathy Konrad and James Mangold (WALK THE LINE).
In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Christian Bale), struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the "3:10 to Yuma", a train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each other's respect. But with Wade's outfit on their trail – and dangers at every turn – the mission soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny.
It's a remake, but one with talent behind it. Directed by James Mangold coming off a Walk the Line high and starring the likes of Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Peter Fonda, Alan Tudyk, and Gretchen Mol, 3:10 to Yuma is a must-see.
The question is will anyone see it? Westerns are well and truly dead baby, even though we've had some great entries in the genre over the past couple of years. Well okay, we've had one great entry: Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall's kickass cattle wrangling movie Open Range. A Western that good should have re-invigorated the genre, except sadly few bothered to buy a ticket. Open Range is already all but forgotten, and so is the niche saddlesore movies used to have at the theater.
With a loaded cast stacked with more relevant stars 3:10 to Yuma is sure to get more attention than Open Range did, I just hope it's good enough to justify it. Russell Crowe's track record when it comes to resurrecting dead genres isn't exactly a stellar one. Master and Commander may have been the best sea battle movie ever filmed, but unless you count those godawful Pirates sequels you don't see a rush from Hollywood to start churning out sword and sail movies again.
The material is there, the talent is there; will audiences be there, or is the world simply well and truly done with Westerns?

Nathaniel Rateliff - In Memory of Loss
The first things you notice are the voice and the space. That voice belongs to Nathaniel Rateliff, a man who's earned the twang and hard-knock weariness that shines through on his Rounder debut. The space comes courtesy of producer Brian Deck (Califone, Iron & Wine, Modest Mouse), who helped transform 8-track bedroom demos into miniature epics of contrast, beauty, and yearning. In Memory of Loss is a stunning, heartbreaking sonic document from a singer-songwriter who's made his way from a childhood in Bay, Missouri to the national stage. Rateliff's debut album is rooted in a bygone era. It's both fresh and classic, imbued with a melancholy nostalgia, the rough candor of rock `n roll's past and the warmth and earnestness of folk storytellers. These thirteen tracks, with their soulful minimalism, hint of the music he grew up on - Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, The Beatles - yet Rateliff is also at home in what may be called, for lack of a better term, the neo-folk revival. His voice is so confident that you can occasionally imagine the music dropping out entirely, a song propelled solely by Rateliff's a capella strengths - equal parts church spiritual and TV On The Radio riffing on The Pixies. This persistent troubadour has struggled and persevered to this point. Now, the wider world is ready for Nathaniel Rateliff.

Some healthy competition
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Funny that I'd wind up getting a nice photo of Reed Johnson looking over his shoulder today (left), because that's exactly what he's doing now that the Jays have thrown Shannon Stewart into the mix.
Stewart is expected to be in camp on Monday — his 34th birthday, no less — and he'll be competing with Johnson for one half of the left-field platoon. Toronto manager John Gibbons said it's going to be a platoon regardless of who makes the club, so Stairs' playing time isn't influenced by the move.
Basically, I view this Stewart signing as an insurance policy. Next year, Toronto will be going with Adam Lind in left field. Johnson's a free agent after this year and he's coming off a major back injury. He's says he's healthy, but if there's any issues or the Jays aren't convinced he's back to being the old Reed, they have Stewart in place as a fallback option.
Or, let's say someone gets injured this spring (honestly, with all these healthy guys running around, there's nowhere to go but down), the Jays have some more options in place that can help the club avoid dipping back into the Minor Leagues, unless absolutely necessary.
ON DECK: The Jays will hold their first intrasquad game of the spring on Monday, when the Matticks will square off against the Ceruttis in a six-inning affair at the Bobby Mattick Training Center.
Monday's Lineups:
MATTICKS — SS David Eckstein, RF Alex Rios, LF Matt Watson, 3B Scott Rolen, C Gregg Zaun, 2B Marco Scutaro, 1B Chip Cannon, CF Buck Coats, DH Travis Snider
CERUTTIS — LF Reed Johnson, 2B Aaron Hill, CF Vernon Wells, DH Frank Thomas, 1B Lyle Overbay, C Rod Barajas, SS John McDonald, RF Adam Lind, 3B Joe Inglett
Overbay and Inglett were both out with flu-like symptoms on Sunday, but expected to be fine for Monday's game. Pitchers will include John Parrish, Kane Davis, Shawn Camp, Josh Banks, Mike Gosling, Tracy Thorpe, David Purcey, Jamie Vermilyea, Jesse Carlson, Ryan Ketchner and Jeremy Cummings.
Roy Halladay, A.J. Burnett, Gus Chacin and Davis Romero all threw in live BP on Sunday and won't pitch in either intrasquad game on Monday or Tueday. On Tuesday, pitchers will include Shaun Marcum, Scott Downs, Jeremy Accardo, Casey Janssen, Brian Wolfe, Randy Wells, Dustin McGowan, Jason Frasor, Brian Tallet, Brandon League, Lance Carter and Jean Machi.
Stretch is at 9:30 a.m., so anyone wanting to come out to watch the game should probably be here by then. When asked if the lineup card for the first game had any mistakes in it, Gibbons said, "I guarantee you there's a couple."
With that, I'm getting out of here and am looking forward to watching the Oscars tonight. I hope No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood are the big winners. Feel free to browse the spring photo gallery for the new additions.

The more depth the better!!! Why anyone would not like this deal is beyond me… Mr. Rogers is paying his salary so why wouldn't anyone want more proven MLB players in the system incase we see the injury bug again this year????
I was hoping the Jays would try for a minor league deal with Colon this winter… Zero risk and potential for good reward.
Colon looks as if he is going to Boston for that minor league contract. If i'm the jays i would turn my attention to Freddy Garcia if he wants a small contract great, if not then it's no big loss.
Yah the Sox scooped him… He would rather go there anyways considering Schilling is done and there is better opportunity for him to actually make the team. I'm guessing Garcia won't be as cheap but hey I don't pay the contracts… Sign em' up
Of the remaining members of the Free Agent bargain bin, the only two remaining that I find intriguing are Freddy Garcia and David Wells.
Reports indicate that wells aims to make 20 starts this year. Wouldn't hurt to have the Veteran presence for the 5th starter and provide a contigency plan to ease Casey Janssen into the rotation.
So Stewarts back…I'm sure the pitchers who were happy to drive him to the Airport when he left town might be there to pick him up here on Part Deux! He can't defend but he can hit and he'll be expected to do that. The guy who needs to be nervous is Lind, not Johnson. Lind's an average defender at best and strikes out way to many times. With Snider and Patterson in the pipeline Lind best not unpack…he's headed out of town.
I would trade Lind instantly while his value as a good prospect remains, If… They lock up Rios longterm and Snider keeps developing into a stud. If they see Snider as a DH then you keep Lind. I've heard that Snider while a little on the slow side is a good defender with a plus arm.
Trade Lind
I can't see fatso Wells coming back to the Jays after the way he left. Jansen is a great 5th starter and in the case he ends up back in the pen then Litsch would still be an improvement over Wells.
Wells does seem to pitch well when up against a former team though and we do play the Yanks a ton.
rmatty, nobody thought the jays would pursue Rod Barajas after what he did, but they did. Personally though I would pass on Wells. It's Garcia or nothing for me (as far as the free agent market is concerned)
Chip Cannon? With a name like that, they should just give him the job.

Is 'Prometheus' Suffering the Same Review Fate 'Blade Runner' Did in 1982?
Let's play a game. Can you identify which of the below are 1982 reviews of Blade Runner and which are of Ridley Scott's latest sci-fi piece, Prometheus?
Review 1.
"And it's also a mess, at least as far as its narrative is concerned. Almost nothing is explained coherently, and the plot has great lapses...The end of the film is both gruesome and sentimental. Mr. Scott can't have it both ways, any more than he can expect overdecoration to carry a film that has neither strong characters nor a strong story. That hasn't stopped him from trying, even if it perhaps should have."
Review 2.
"Design is a vital element, especially if the audience is to accept anyone's physically imposing vision of the future, but staggering technical virtuosity – in and of itself – can never replace character and story values. And this realization points out Scott's fatal flaw...Had Scott cared to extend this lavish attention beyond the film's settings, we might now be contemplating a fully-realized masterpiece. By falling well short of classic status, given the great potential implicit in the material and the film's undeniable achievements, the film taps a keener disappointment than would be felt in the presence of lesser ambition and lesser results."
Review 3.
"He seems more concerned with creating his film worlds than populating them with plausible characters, and that's the trouble this time."
Answers: It was a trick question. All of the reviews were for Blade Runner's initial 1982 release; New York Times, Cinefantastique, and Roger Ebert.
The argument could be made that critical pull-quotes for any poorly received film could be compared against any other negative reviews, but it's curious that in Prometheus's case, the criticisms are strikingly similar. You can't remove Ridley Scott from this equation either. This is a filmmaker distinct enough for his body of work to be considered as a body of work. It's as fair to compare Prometheus to Blade Runner as it would be to rank your favorite Pixar films or spitball on which thriller was Hitchcock's best.
The internet likes its opinions in tidy flavors of good/bad and right/wrong (makes sense for a digital world to demand binary opinions). The fact that Blade Runner has been embraced as a classic over the years doesn't negate the original opinions at all, but it should provide an example of how everything deserves context (and time).
Prometheus arrives as a bundle of contradictions -- the seventh film in a tired series that attempts to completely divorce itself of that series, except when it decides to call upon direct reminders of that series. It's an original work of science-fiction that is also not original at all, cribbing from Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods and clearly acting as a predecessor to Alien. It's advertised as sci-fi horror, but it tries for something slightly out of its reach -- big questions about man and creation. It also bears the weight of being a Big 3-D Summer Event Movie that also has to serve as "Old Home Week," with Scott returning to the series he started, following up a film that has become an indisputable classic. Catching lightning in a bottle is hard enough; try replicating the trick thirty-three years later with the whole world watching.
My intent isn't to make any excuses for Prometheus's weaknesses. I was satisfied by it as a dark sci-fi adventure story, full of visual dazzle and a low-grade sense of dread that was maintained throughout (and if you're curious, my expectations for it were a big, fat nebulous question mark -- I had no idea what to expect from the film). It's become one of those movies that I can't stop thinking about, and that's extraordinarily rare for a tentpole sequel. The weaknesses will always be weaknesses, but time and distance will create new opinions (maybe even change old ones), removed from the context and expectations set for the film.
Critics may have been largely sour on Blade Runner at first, but as its influence began to be felt (immediately -- in movies and on TV) and as people began discovering its uniqueness on their own, popular opinion on the film began to change. Prometheus is nowhere near the game-changer that Blade Runner is, but, hell, if movies like Alien3 can go on to become respected genre efforts, then Prometheus should have a healthy future ahead.

Information technology administrators at Westminster, Colo., saved money by using the Untangle Gateway from Untangle to help monitor and control Internet access, but not everything worked out of the box.
Colorado city adopts open-source platform for its network gateway
"There were a few challenges regarding the configuration of it," said John Neiberger, the city's network administrator. "Installation went pretty smooth," but the tools were not working for everyone on the network when IT staff members tested the gateway.
The gateway is an open-source platform that runs on a single server on the network, hosting a suite of third-party open-source and proprietary applications to handle everything from antivirus and spam blocking to load balancing. Untangle figured out how to run the applications on a single server with acceptable latency, but the tools still needed some tweaking when running on the Westminster network.
The problems were all solvable, but it was difficult to anticipate them, said David Puntenney, the city's IT director.
"There were some things about the configuration that might not be intuitive," he said. "The problems we ran into were not very clear."
But because there were a variety of third-party applications involved, there also was a large population of users and developers whose experience could be mined to solve problems that were not intuitive. The Westminster administrators found that the solutions were generally available from other users on the forum provided on the Untangle Web site.
"Take advantage of the support that is available," Neiberger said. "That's where we resolved most of our issues" without using Untangle tech support. After those initial questions were answered, "it was just a matter of installing the individual modules and tweaking them."

Suzuki Equator Radiator Hose Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a radiator hose?
Radiator hoses are typically made of rubber, and help carry the engine's coolant to and from the radiator.
How does the radiator hose work?
There are two radiator hoses. The upper radiator hose carries hot coolant from the thermostat housing on the engine to the radiator inlet. After the coolant passes through the radiator and sheds excess heat, the coolant exits the bottom of the radiator into the lower radiator hose, bringing the cooled fluid back to the engine.
What are the symptoms related to a bad radiator hose?
A coolant leak may be noted from the hoses. Coolant hoses can be damaged by oil leaks, or age. This will lead to swelling or cracking, it is suggested to replace the hoses before they begin leaking to avoid potential overheating.
Can I drive with a radiator hose problem?
The vehicle should not be driven with leaking or damaged radiator hoses. If a hose should fail while driving, the engine would overheat in short order, leading to additional repair expense.
How often do radiator hoses need to be replaced?
Replacement intervals vary greatly by vehicle and driving conditions. The radiator hoses do not wear like a tire or a ball joint, but eventually the rubber will degrade to the point of leakage. If not from age, the hoses will often fail due to oil contamination from an oil leak. Oil leaks cause the rubber to swell and weaken, increasing the risk of failure.
How are radiator hose issues diagnosed?
The hoses can be visually inspected for leakage, cracking, or swelling. A pressure test may also be performed to ensure the system is sealed. The technician will also physically check the hoses for feel, an overly soft hose is often contaminated with oil and more likely to fail.
Radiator Hose Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for a Radiator Hose Replacement is between $110 and $121 but can vary from car to car.
How is a radiator hose replaced?
The technician will drain the cooling system as necessary and remove the hose. An inspection of the radiator neck or thermostat housing it is attached to will be performed. The new hose will be installed with new hose clamps before the system is refilled with fresh coolant, bled of any air, and checked for leaks.
RepairPal Recommendations for radiator hose issues
Hoses will often be stuck to their attachment points. When removing them from thermostat housings and radiators, it is important to take care not to apply too much force as it can damage plastic fittings on otherwise fine components. To prevent cracking plastic attachment points, there are special pick-like tools that can aide removal.
What to look out for when dealing with radiator hose issues
There are many aftermarket or universal radiator hoses that are cheaper than the OEM hoses or their equivalents. It is important to order the correct, high-quality hose to ensure a longer lasting repair. While more affordable, the cheaper hoses may be of inferior construction, incorrect shape, or missing provisions for the expansion tank and other cooling outlets. Ill fitting and low quality hoses increase the risk of coming off or collapsing, causing overheating and subsequent engine damage. If a hose has to be modified to work, it is the wrong one.
Can I replace the radiator hose myself?
Repairing your own car is an extremely rewarding process that can also save you money. But before you dive in, it's important to be sure the issue has been properly diagnosed. Seemingly obvious symptoms can lead the inexperienced down a rabbit hole of replacing parts that don't fix the problem. Proper diagnosis can save more money than guessing at what's broken! If you're unsure you have the right tools or experience to diagnose a problem, consider reaching out to a RepairPal Certified Shop. The vast majority of radiator hoses only require simple tools to replace. However, the procedures vary wildly from car to car. Before ordering parts or attempting this repair yourself, look online for guides on how to replace the radiator hoses in your specific vehicle. On some cars, removal of the front bumper or special tools to release hose clamps in tight places may be required. Some vehicles also require special cooling system filling and bleeding procedures.

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - It would be hard enough for an untested and unknown political novice to take over the premier's office in any province.
Frank Coleman, a mild-mannered 60-year-old grandfather and successful businessman with zero electoral experience, is trying to do it in Newfoundland and Labrador.
He'll take the Progressive Conservative helm in July and will be sworn in as premier soon after. Provincial law requires an election within a year after that as the lagging Tories, in majority power since 2003, try to win back support.
But since Coleman emerged as the sole leadership contender earlier this spring, he has endured a trial by fire that even party members and supporters say caught his team off guard.
Newfoundlander Tim Powers, an Ottawa lobbyist and Conservative commentator, describes public life in the province this way:
"Politics in Newfoundland and Labrador is like a brawl every night, every day, every hour of the day," he said. "When you come into it cold as Mr. Coleman did, you're going to have some growing pains.
"It has not been a gentle job interview so far."
That harsh initiation started Good Friday when Coleman's wife Yvonne and other members of his Corner Brook-based family joined a pro-life march as they have for years.
Questions swirled in the media about whether he would limit access to abortion once in power.
"I have five girls and two boys and a bunch of grandchildren," Coleman said in a recent interview during which he affirmed his pro-life views. But he stressed he has no plans to impose those convictions in legislation.
Coleman took the same stance when asked if he supports gay rights.
"I am not out to judge any individual as to how they see themselves and how they feel, what their nature is. I am absolutely respectful of how people exercise their free will.
"I'm not in any way showing them any less affection or any less warmth than somebody else."
Coleman has also been on the defensive over the province's cancellation without penalty of a Labrador highway contract with Humber Valley Paving. He had previously led the company but has said he sold his shares last winter and resigned from the board of directors just before entering the leadership race in March.
Coleman has repeatedly denied that he personally gained from the contract cancellation negotiated at around the same time by his son. For its part, the provincial government says it saved taxpayers money by not calling in related bonds before retendering the work that was slowed by Labrador forest fires.
The provincial auditor general is now reviewing the deal at the government's request.
Coleman's track record as head of the Coleman Group of Companies including food, clothing and furniture retail, saw him named Atlantic Canada's CEO of the year by Atlantic Business Magazine in 2010. His past jobs include chief economist at Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro and as a private consultant before the eldest of eight children returned to the family business founded in 1934.
"I did not expect certainly the scrutiny on my private life or the scrutiny on what I consider to be a very good, privately run company," Coleman said of Humber Valley Paving.
He still chafes at such intrusions. For example, he declined through a spokeswoman to provide his exact date of birth due to privacy concerns.
Nor did Coleman expect to become the only Tory leadership candidate when fisheries magnate Bill Barry quit in April, suggesting the race was stacked against him. The only other challenger, retired naval officer Wayne Bennett, was expelled for discriminatory tweets and breaching party principles.
Still, Coleman said he has no plans to quit.
"I'm not dropping out of this race, certainly for no reasons that I can foresee or have experienced to date."
Powers said a failure to grasp the level of voter frustration facing the Tories didn't help the incoming premier.
"The understanding of the climate isn't as sophisticated as it should be for those who are working with Mr. Coleman on the strategic side."
Paul Oram, a party organizer and former Tory cabinet minister, agreed.
"I don't think anybody ever dreamed in a million years that Frank would take the heat that he has taken over the past few months since he decided to run," he said. "I think he'll get better and more on top of his game as time goes on.
"But I'm really glad he's sticking by it and, knowing him the way I do, he's not going to just fall by the wayside."

Top Summit County stories from September and October 2012
Editor's note: This is the fifth in a six-part series highlighting the top stories in the Summit Daily News in 2012.
Those who knew and worked with Mark Gage say Frisco became the town it is today in part through his work and dedication.
Now, members of the community he helped shape are saying goodbye.
Gage died after experiencing a "medical event" while riding his bike in Breckenridge. He was 53.
Summit Stage summer ridership is up significantly over last year, something officials attribute to good tourism and lowering unemployment in Summit County over the past few months.
July saw an increase in riders of 9.63 percent compared to 2011, almost 15 percent in June and nearly 12 percent for May, according to John Jones, director of Summit County Government Transit and Fleet Services.
A bear cub reportedly drowned in Dillon Reservoir. Colorado Parks and Wildlife managers were misinformed on the age of the bear which affected their response to the situation.
"If we would have known that the report of a bear in Dillon Reservoir was a cub, we would have responded differently," said Mike Porras, parks and wildlife spokesman.
Denver Water hosted a 50th anniversary celebration of the Roberts Tunnel, one of the Front Range's most important water resources, Wednesday near Grant, which remains one of the largest water diversion tunnels in the world.
The tunnel was designed to bring water to Denver across the Continental Divide from Summit County to the large, concentrated population of the eastern side of Colorado.
Red, White and Blue Fire Protection District Boardmember Jim Keating will be taking over as fire chief later this year ahead of current chief Lori Miller's retirement in December.
Keating is set to take the reins as interim chief Nov. 1.
Gregory Scott Gavin submitted a guilty plea to the charge of second-degree murder, heat of passion, in court Wednesday for the killing of Karl Kohler in May.
The charge, a Class III felony, carries a presumptive penalty of four to 12 years in prison.
In court, prosecutors said Gavin killed Kohler by beating him on the head and body with a baseball bat. The defense attorney added that the heat of passion classification stemmed from the fact that Kohler arrived at Gavin's campsite unannounced and an altercation occurred.
Judge Mark Thompson sentenced Wesley Wilson, the driver who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide after he hit and killed a pedestrian on a Keystone crosswalk in March, to six years in community corrections Friday.
Wilson, 20, was found to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of the crash that killed 33-year-old Mircea Basaram, of Romania, on Saint Patrick's Day.
Mountain water has a reputation for its freshness and Silverthorne water proved this to be true when they placed first among 16 cities in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico in the Best Tasting Water competition Tuesday.
Silverthorne's water comes from six different wells called the Blue River Alluvium, which sits at a lower elevated valley near Silverthorne, according to Kevin Batchelder, Silverthorne town manager.
Breckenridge is again looking to host a start or finish in the 2013 USA Pro Challenge, town officials confirmed.
The town is 2-0 in the bidding process to become a host city for the 600-plus-mile bike race, after winning a race stage finish in 2011 and a start in August.
"It's a great event, we want to be a part of it," Breckenridge spokeswoman Kim Dykstra-DiLallo said. "We'll probably put in a bid every year."
Starting every shift as a rookie cop on the violent streets of Los Angeles, Jamie FitzSimons faced the possibility that he might not make it home to his family.
But he didn't do it alone.
He shared a squad car and an understanding with his partner, Darryn Dupree.
"We'd get in the car together … and you go over certain things," said FitzSimons, now a captain with the Summit County Sheriff's Office. "You acknowledge the most important thing is that we go home at the end of watch. No matter what, we go home."
That promise and the still-strong friendship between FitzSimons and Dupree were the inspiration for director David Ayer's "End of Watch," a film that pushes past the violence of traditional cop dramas to tell a story about the human beings behind the badges.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena star as officers Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala, secretly filming their daily lives patrolling South Central L.A.
Summit County commissioners voted unanimously to appoint local physician Tim Keeling to the role of coroner at a special meeting Tuesday.
Keeling takes over the elected office vacated by Joanne Richardson, who resigned in the middle of her third and final term of office to move to Basalt with her husband.
Breckenridge's first rodeo, hosted for five weekends on a trial basis this summer, went off with hardly a hiccup, according to a recently released report from town staffers.
Organizers now want to continue the event for an 11-week run next summer.
The decision by the U.S. Forest Service to approve the Peak 6 expansion at Breckenridge Ski Resort has received two appeals and endorsements by 45 individuals and environmental groups.
The Forest Service has 45 days from today to submit a final written decision on the expansion.
Xcel Energy and the Summit Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual COO Breakfast at Keystone Conference Center with ski leaders to discuss trends affecting the upcoming ski season.
Coming into the ski season after a bad snow year, COOs from Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Loveland, and Arapahoe Basin greeted the crowd with optimism.
SKI Magazine's annual reader poll results of the top 30 ski areas in North America placed three Summit County resorts among the rankings.
Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain and Keystone Resort were all voted in the top 30 with Breckenridge, topping the Summit County ranking at 14th place.
The winner of the ranking was Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia, with last year's winner, Deer Valley in Park City, Utah, ranking second.
Joining the list of ski areas open in Colorado, Loveland Ski Area kicked off its season opening with chairlifts.
"We know there are a lot of really anxious skiers and riders ready to get this season started," said John Sellers, spokesman for the ski area. "Our snow quality is great and our team has been working really hard to open with these conditions."

There are 650 Pocket Monsters. That's a lot. So Game Freak, the studio behind Pokémon, should be running out of ideas for new Pocket Monsters any day now, right?
Wrong. Pokémon: Black and White art director Ken Sugimori told the Official Nintendo Magazine that there are still new Pokémon ideas.
"It's not only myself designing new Pokémon - we have about 20 people in our team at Game Freak who design Pokémon, so if every one of them came up with 10 Pokémon ideas, it's going to be 200," said Sugimori. "And that will make a lot of Pokémon designs."
New Game Freak developers also bring in new Pokémon ideas. If that doesn't work, there's always this guide how to make fake Pokémon.
