Message From Michael Yon!
Please click to read an important "Update on Bless the Beasts and Children."
"Bless the Beasts and Children" is one of the most frequently downloaded–and commented on–dispatches for any 24-hour period since "Gates of Fire." Growing numbers of readers are becoming furious that mainstream media continues to mostly ignore a well-documented mass-murder, while some outlets persist in widely publishing stories known to have been fabricated. The update considers this controversy as it provides new and emerging details about the incident.
New readers have been trying to dive into the difficult-to-navigate archives for some of the more popular previous dispatches. Over the coming months as the site is reworked this will improve. Meanwhile, a few links to vintage dispatches:
Baqubah, Iraq
Since the publication of "Bless the Beasts and Children" many questions have arisen: some of which I can and will answer here, and some whose answers lie elsewhere.
Today, late afternoon on 3 July in Baqubah, Colonel Hiduit from 2nd Brigade 5th Iraqi Army was able to provide some additional details about the murders, as the ongoing investigation begins to yield more facts. The name of the village was not on any maps I examined while preparing the dispatch, but Colonel Hiduit said the name is al Hamira. Coordinates to the area of the gravesites are MC 679 381.
In my dispatch, I reported that six people were killed, but mentioned that Iraqi soldiers were still digging out bodies when I left. A few hours ago, Colonel Hiduit put the number at 10-14, and said the search for bodies had ended. I made video of the graves, bodies and of interviews with Iraqi and American soldiers while we still were at the scene and have been working to make material from this available on this website.
As the investigation unfolds more pertinent details, I'll continue to update the story. But the biggest question rippling across the internet–"Why hasn't the mainstream media picked this up?" –is something only representatives of mainstream media can answer.
In fairness, several large outlets did publish it online: National Review Online and Fox News were both quick to place the story prominently on their websites. A few others also published excerpts. It was even briefly up on the Drudge Report. On the blog front, Instapundit, Hugh Hewitt, Blackfive, Andrew Sullivan, Captain's Quarters and many others picked it up.
But for those publications who actually had people embedded in Baqubah when the story first broke and still failed to cover it, their malaise is inexplicable. I do not know why all failed to report the murders and booby-trapped village: apparently no reporters bothered to go out there, even though it's only about 3.5 miles from this base. Any one of the reporters currently in Baqubah could still go to these coordinates and follow his or her nose and find the gravesites.
On this question of media selectivity, the blogosphere has become incensed that big media mostly ignored the murders, especially given that there are reporters currently in Baqubah. Newsbusters and countless others are on it. More disturbing to many bloggers is that major mainstream players were busted (again) by Pajamas Media just days ago for reporting outright fabrications of a "massacre" that never occurred.
Although I can't answer to the cause of the problem, I humbly offer permission to media outlets to republish excerpts of the dispatch or the dispatch in its entirety, including my photographs from the story (if used as they are in the dispatch) at no cost during the month of July 2007. I only ask that the site receive proper attribution and that any publication taking me up on the offer email the website with the details.
If much of mainstream media does not recognize barbarity, clearly their readers can and do. Readers throughout the world might consider contacting their local papers and favorite websites with the link to this update. The story is very important in that it is well-documented with photos and video, and the Iraqi and American soldiers who were present are named and easily reachable. Those mainstream reporters currently in Baqubah could readily take up the baton.
Michael Yon does not receive funding or financial support from Fox News, movie, book or television deals at this time. He is entirely reader supported. He relies on his readers to help him replace his equipment and cover his expenses so that he may remain in Iraq and bring you the stories of our soldiers. If you value his work, please consider supporting his mission.

The UK air traffic management service provider, NATS, has announced it has invested in Aireon, the company pioneering a space-based air traffic surveillance service.
Through a network of 66 low earth orbiting Iridium NEXT satellites, AireonSM will monitor the location of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipped aircraft flying anywhere in the world, transforming the way air traffic control services are provided.
The service will offer global air traffic surveillance of aircraft. This means that oceans and remote regions like the poles, deserts and mountainous areas will have real-time aircraft surveillance for the first time.
The forecasted safety and airspace capacity benefits, together with the savings in fuel and carbon emissions, are being hailed as the greatest revolution in air traffic management since the introduction of radar 70 years ago.
News of the $69 million USD investment, worth around 10% equity, was announced at a press conference in Washington DC, near Aireon's headquarters, at which NATS also confirmed it is currently consulting with its customers about introducing the satellite technology for use over the North Atlantic starting with operational trials from 2019 to deliver the capacity and safety benefits that the airspace requires to keep pace with demand.
Martin Rolfe, NATS Chief Executive Officer, said: "This is a transformational technology that will deliver the world's first truly global air traffic control infrastructure, making flying even safer and more efficient.
"Investing in Aireon is the best way for us to shape the future of the service in a way that benefits our customers in the UK and elsewhere, and to demonstrate NATS' commitment to playing a leading role in the development of the next generation of global air traffic technology.
"We're currently consulting with our airline customers about how to best deploy this technology. The North Atlantic is the busiest area of oceanic airspace in the world and the gateway to Europe, but its routes have now reached their limit of capacity with existing technology, so we are delighted to now have a way to safely fulfil the ever growing demand from our customers. What is additionally exciting is that this same technology will also deliver fuel savings and CO2 reductions that will directly benefit airlines and their customers."
Don Thoma, Aireon Chief Executive Officer, added: "We are ecstatic to welcome NATS to the Aireon investor family. NATS was among the first air navigation service providers to see the benefits of space-based ADS-B, and now it only makes sense that they would become a more formal part of Aireon. The enhancements Aireon's space-based ADS-B service will allow in the North Atlantic are a game changer for the aviation industry and will connect North America and Europe unlike ever before."
Marc Courtois, Chair of the Board of Directors for both Aireon and NAV CANADA stated: "Adding NATS to our ownership group further confirms what the industry has largely already realised, that Aireon is on track to fundamentally improve flight safety worldwide. The technology is real, the system is already performing beyond expectations, there are just a few more launches to go, and we are eager to start seeing the improved benefits to the aviation industry and the flying public."

Day eight
Southern Ridges
After a completing 20 kilometer hike yesterday, we decided to do a hike today...
The trail is called the southern ridges and connects multiple parks by several bridges.
Every now and then the city shows itself.
The scenery is amazing.
We spotted several creatures along the way.
On the trail we spotted The Interlace, one of the largest residential structures in Singapore.
After a quick shower we headed to the hawker center across the street for dinner.
We discovered Mr. Baguette, who does not sell baguettes. Instead he sells things like cookie dough filled tarts or tarts filled with apple pie. The box below probably contains enough calories to last a week, but damn they are delicious!

Enforcement Mechanisms of the Racial Equality Directive for Minority Protection, by Ambrus, Monika
Note: Supplemental materials are not guaranteed with Rental or Used book purchases.
- Cover: Hardcover
- Copyright: 1/1/2011
Unlike EU legislation in general, the Racial Equality Directive (RED) for Minority Protection includes several enforcement-related rules in addition to the substantive provisions. This book examines the interpretation of the enforcement provisions of the RED, examines the implementation of these provisions in four Member States (Belgium, Estonia, Hungary and the Netherlands), and sets out the implication of the enforcement provisions for minority protection. It concludes that neither the European Court of Justice nor the four Member States have fully realized the potential of the RED enforcement mechanisms. Moreover the RED itself missed some opportunities to guarantee the effective enforcement of the right to equal treatment on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin. Nevertheless, important steps have been taken to make the enforcement of the right to equal treatment as effective as possible by taking the perspective of the victim into account, thus contributing to an enhanced level of minority protection. In addition to providing a solid theoretical basis concerning the enforcement mechanisms of the RED, this book also serves as a handbook for practitioners, supporting their everyday work in the interpretation and application of the national equal treatment legislation. This book will be of interest to academics and practitioners in human rights, political science, and constitutional rights.

Member Blogs > Journey of a BooksellerThe Child Finder by Rene Denfeld
Tue, 08 Aug 2017 09:00:00 PermalinkShe finds lost children because she was lost once. Some gypsies helped her get away. She wants to save the children she can and to help the parents with closure if she can't. There's something more about her own escape but she's blocked it out. Working with the children is opening doors in her memory, though.
Harper and Edelweiss gave me the opportunity to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published September 5th.
Madison disappeared three years ago while her parents were looking for the best Christmas tree. It was snowing and searchers couldn't find her. But her mother was sure she was still alive. Naomi agreed to see if she could find the child. She also warned them she might only be a body by now.
While she's researching where a child could be held in the forest and mountain area she was lost in, she finds there are caves and cabins from early homesteading still there.
This story is told in two voices. One is of Madison, the Snow Girl, who is a prisoner in a cabin. She was saved but she's not free. The other is Naomi's voice with pieces of her past mixed with current events. She may have run from her past but she still remembers it.
Then she gets another case where a baby is missing. She doesn't usually take two cases at once but she feels for the mother and grandmother of the baby. The fact that the mother is mentally challenged makes it harder to get the facts as they happened.
Everything comes together at the end of the story but it's not a happy ending. Both families will need to heal. Naomi has also remembered what she had blocked out in the past and now has a new challenge. Can she find what she lost? I'm sure that will be covered in the next book. I also look forward to reading it. Naomi is starting to put herself back together and she's even finally accepting love.

Do you think that Americans put too much emphasis on college and not enough on the trades and apprenticeships?

JP- I do think we place too much emphasis on a college degree. First of all, there is heavy demand for technical workers of all kinds. These can be really decent careers in terms of money and satisfaction. A lot of people would benefit from a tech education or a very specific two-year degree.

Born in France in 1910, Benedictine monk Henri le Saux moved to India in 1948 as a Christian missionary. His encounter there with Hindu spirituality led him to adopt the life of an Indian holy man and to take the name Abhishiktānanda ("the Bliss of the Anointed One"). Many of his writings attempt to bridge Christian faith and the Hindu philosophy of advaita, or nondualism. Abhishiktānanda never returned to France and continued to immerse himself in Hinduism, but he also never disavowed Christianity nor his priesthood, and he celebrated Mass for most of his life. He lived his final years as a wandering monk in the hermit caves of Arunachala, a holy mountain in southern India. He died in 1973. The following is excerpted from Saccidananda: A Christian Approach to Advaitic Experience, by Abhishiktānanda, (Delhi: ISPCK, 1974, 1997). Reprinted with permission of the Delhi Brotherhood Society.
It is the worst possible illusion to imagine that we have to struggle to find liberation or mukti, or to experience the self, which is the same thing. In truth, what is this world? Or what is the other world? What does it mean to attain self-realization? Or not to have attained to it? To strive consciously and deliberately to arrive at this "realization of the self" is paradoxically the greatest obstacle in the way of reaching it; for it involves the assumption that man's natural state . . . is something that man does not yet possess — as if a man could be without being himself! Is a man really less of a man when sunk in deep slumber?
That you are, my friend, you know well. Your experience every moment reminds you of it. Simply find out who you are, find out what it is in you that does not depend on the changing circumstances of your bodily or mental existence, that kernel of your consciousness which, in the last analysis, cannot be identified with any of the external circumstances in which you find yourself. Do not waste time in negating the passing identities of which you are momentarily conscious, for that will only detain and hinder you. Pass beyond; discover in yourself that which is free and independent of all around or within you that changes or passes away. In every deed, every act of will, every thought, ask yourself the essential question: "Who is thinking, willing, acting? Who am I, the actor behind the action, the thinker behind the thought, the one who wills behind the act of willing?" To this question your mind, becoming increasingly bewildered, will less and less know what to answer. Your thought will be hopelessly bound to the shifting world of phenomena, the world of all that ceaselessly appears and disappears when perceived by sense or mind. In all this there is nowhere any stable point to which you can succeed in fastening your fundamental intuition that you are: yet you are, with no possibility of saying where you are, what you are, who you are. . . .
The mind then realizes more and more its inability to say: "I am this or that; I am this person or that person." For in the very moment at which the thought appears that I am this or that, this person or that person, then this manifestation with which I have automatically tried to identify myself in the flow of consciousness has fled away from me — but I continue. Sensory and psychic experience flow on in a steady stream which nothing can stop, being part of that constant succession of change which is the nature of the cosmos. While this flow continues endlessly, I myself abide. I am in an unchanging present. All things pass, change; but as for me, I am. What am I? Who am I? There is no answer except the pure awareness that I am, transcending all thought.
"I am," and there is no need for me to strive in order to find this "I am." I am not an "I" searching for itself. The Maharshi pointed this out very astutely when certain disciples sought by means of thought and reasoning to realize "who" they were, and thus engaged themselves in an endless mental pursuit of this elusive self. The search is endless because the self which is thought poses the problem of the self which thinks, and so on ad infinitum. All that a man has to do is simply to allow himself to be grasped by this light which springs up from within but itself cannot be grasped. Who can ever savor the taste of absolutely pure water? So also with pure air, who will ever see it or smell it?
Awake, O man, and realize simply that you are. You are neither the butterfly dreaming that it is the king nor the king dreaming that he is the butterfly, as in the Chinese proverb. You are yourself. Indian folklore preserves the tale of the lion cub whose parents had been killed by hunters and which was reared along with a flock of sheep. He learned to bleat and to eat grass, and grew up without suspecting that he himself was not a lamb. One day a lion fell upon the flock. Seeing the lion cub, he asked him what he was doing among the sheep and why he was not ashamed of bleating and eating grass. "But am I not a lamb?" replied the astonished cub. Then the lion took him to a pool of water and told him to look at their two faces reflected in it and to compare them. "Are you not the same as I am? Is it not your nature to drink blood and to roar? Come, roar like I do. . . . " The cub roared, and as he roared he recognized himself. . . .
So it is with the soul which awakes to the Self.

So assuming you are all here because you are in business, and have heard about Googles' previous updates : Penguin and Panda, that caused many sites ranking to drop, the news that a new update called Hummingbird has just been released is bound to cause concern amongst website owners and SEO people.
How this is different is because this isnt an update but is a replacement of the old algorithm and is the biggest change they've done in 3 years.
Here are some helpful pointers for you.
Supposedly up to 90% of searches are going to be affected by Hummingbird.
So best to keep your content update via a CMS site (talk to us - we are friendly and most definitely non salesey people) who keep their fingers (all of them) on the web and SEO pulse.Tweet

This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Linda Flowers 61 years old , born on July 24, 1949 and passed away on June 4, 2011. We will remember her forever.
Ultimately, the best way that I know to remember and honor Aunt Linda is to take her with me everywhere I go; emulating what was so wonderful about her and sharing her love with others. Caring for each other, the way that she cared so much for us. I miss you Aunt Linda but I hope you are enjoying your view from above.

Wiesel And Hanks: New Fast Friends
Few would put the names Elie Wiesel, Tom Hanks and Sting in the same sentence, much less the men themselves in the same room.
But there they were last week in the majestic Celeste Bartos Forum of the New York Public Library where The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity honored the Hollywood actor, producer and humanitarian with its inaugural Arts for Humanity Award, and the famed British musician performed for his celebrity friend
The Foundation, established after Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, describes its mission as seeking to "combat indifference, intolerance and injustice through international dialogue and youth-focused programs that promote acceptance, understanding and equality."
Previous awardees include President George H.W. Bush, King Juan Carlos of Spain, former First Ladies Laura Bush and Hilary Clinton, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and Oprah Winfrey.

This was the first Foundation dinner since 2008, the year that it, and the Wiesels, suffered severe financial losses as a result of the Madoff financial scandal.
In his remarks at the Oct. 17 event, Wiesel expressed gratitude to those friends and supporters who helped revive the Foundation. (He also had high praise for the evening's emcee, CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour, who has been widely criticized by pro-Israel media monitors as biased against Israel. Wiesel said she was a longtime friend who "brings honor" to her profession.)
Noting Hanks' involvement with film projects focusing on World War II, Marion Wiesel, wife of the Nobel Peace laureate (and credited by him as the driving force of the Foundation), told the actor: "We honor your desire to remember what others choose to forget. Your link to memory has become our link to you."
Toward the end of the elegant dinner, Elie Wiesel told the 250 guests that he had not met "my new friend Tom" or his wife, actress Rita Wilson, before but that "we will be friends forever."
Speaking directly to Hanks, Wiesel said that he and his wife chose the popular star for the award because "memory is what moves you," particularly the memory of World War II, through films like "Saving Private Ryan," in which he starred, and the mini-series he helped produce, "Band Of Brothers."
Hanks has a long record of involvement with various veterans groups and causes. He served as national spokesperson for the World War II Memorial Campaign and was honorary chair of the D-Day Museum Capital Campaign. In a filmed tribute at the dinner, Adm. Michael Mullen, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thanked Hanks for all his efforts on behalf of those who serve in the military, and their families.
A filmed tribute from President Obama praised Hanks for using his "fame to shed light on veterans," and Wiesel for being "one of the great moral voices of our time."
Sting, the singer-songwriter and philanthropist, performed several of his hits, including "Fields of Gold" and "I'll Be Watching You," later prompting Wiesel to tell him that the songs expressed joy in ways that reminded him of the chasidic songs of his childhood.
Hanks spoke of being fascinated by World War II as a child. "Everyone I knew growing up served in the war, which for me was like a character, an almost physical being," Hanks said, and he thought of it as representing "monsters" that almost took over the world.
Describing himself as an optimist, Hanks said that individuals can make "an extraordinary difference" and that "kindness can triumph over cruelty," concluding: "I am fascinated by the challenge of human beings waking up [each day] and trying to make the world a better place."

Hey all! Time I sat down and reflected back on what happened with my free promotion for Only The Dead: An African War. First off, I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who downloaded the book, helped get the word out or just offered some encouragement. It was a great success, much above what I ever hoped to achieve. The book went to #1 in the Africa section and #1 in the Military section on Amazon.com. In the UK on Amazon.co.uk, it went to #1 in Africa and #3 in Military.
Again, thank you to everyone who helped! If you have read my book, then please consider posting a short review on Amazon. It really helps and doesn't take long. Thanks.
I learnt some lessons while the promotion was on. The first thing is never run a promotion when you're away from your laptop and relying on your mobile to interact with people on Twitter. I went down to Glasgow to enjoy some of the Christmas festivities. While it was lovely, I felt like I was glued to my mobile, with Twitter notifications going on left, right and centre. Another thing is that I both love and hate Twitter. I met some seriously awesome people on there, interacted with them, had a laugh. Brilliant. But then you get Twitter accounts that are automated by whatever program. These really annoy me. What's the point of having a Twitter account if you're letting a computer run it? Oh yeah, to force your product or website down people's throat! Rant over! For those of you I did meet on Twitter! You're all awesome!
I myself felt bad connecting with people and mentioning to them that my novella was free, but needs must. I'm sorry if I came off pushy(I hope I didn't) but I really needed to get the word out there! I hope you're all enjoying my book!
I suppose I better go and do something productive toward my university course. Is anyone else panicking about the speed with which Christmas is approaching? Yikes! Better get my shopping done! Until next time!

Bullying: Everyone's Problem
3 In-service Credits/ 45 hours Instructor: Angela D'Amico May 1-30, August 1-30, November 1-30
The bullying of children within our schools is a growing concern to teachers, administrators, and parents. Instances of bullying are reaching epidemic numbers and as of late, one can hardly turn on the evening news without seeing stories of the tragic and often fatal results of bullying. No age group is "safe" with instances of bullying being reported as early as kindergarten. As teachers, we cannot turn a "blind eye" or take the stand that "kids will be kids." We must take a Zero Tolerance approach to bullying and do our part to keep our students safe. This course is designed to help teachers understand the facts about bullying through internet research. You will become familiar with the various types of bullying, the effects bullying has on the victims, gain ideas and valuable resources to help you in your fight against bullying, and learn creative projects which will help build empathy in your students. This course is appropriate for all areas of instruction including the Arts, ELA, Social Studies, Science and Foreign Language, N-12.

Nic Rivers and Mark Jaccard: Greener fuels aren't as expensive as some claim
A jump in gasoline prices attracts a lot of attention. With prices recently hitting $1.70 per litre in the Vancouver area, Premier John Horgan has commissioned the B.C. Utilities Commission to assess whether this increase reflects the typical conditions of competitive markets or if the unusually high margins received by producers reflects insufficient competition and perhaps other factors. Understandably, the inquiry will not examine the effect of government policies on the gasoline price since the levels of various taxes are already publicly available.
There is one government policy, however, whose effect on the gasoline price is less transparent, which can lead to misinformation about its contribution. B.C.'s low carbon fuel standard is one of a portfolio of greenhouse gas-reducing policies implemented by the B.C. Liberals in 2008 under former Premier Gordon Campbell. It requires that companies providing energy used in transportation reduce the carbon intensity of that energy by 10 per cent by 2020.
To achieve this target, sellers of gasoline and diesel must either purchase and blend more low-emission fuels like ethanol and biodiesel into their fuels or pay other energy companies to increase their sales of low-emission energy used in transportation. They make these payments by purchasing the low-carbon energy credits, which the government allocates to sellers of ethanol, biodiesel, electricity, hydrogen and other low-emission forms of energy. Thus, B.C. Hydro sells to gasoline and diesel sellers the credits it receives for providing electricity to B.C. Transit for trolley buses and SkyTrain.
The oil industry has mostly complied with the low-carbon fuel standard by blending more biofuels into its products. Today, approximately 7.3 per cent of gasoline is ethanol and 5.4 per cent of diesel is biodiesel. If these gasoline and diesel substitutes are more expensive than the conventional fuels they replace, their addition has an upward effect on the price of gasoline and diesel. Indeed, a recent media report suggested that the low-carbon fuel standard has caused a 15-cent-per-litre increase in gasoline prices.
Our analysis reveals this report to be untrue. The low-carbon credits are publicly traded and their current price equates to $180 per tonne of CO2. Assuming that money from low-carbon credit trades is used primarily to increase the consumption of ethanol and biodiesel, we estimate that wholesale ethanol costs on average over 20 cents more per litre than wholesale gasoline while wholesale biodiesel costs over 50 cents more than wholesale diesel. Given the current blend ratios for the two fuels, the low-carbon fuel standard adds only two to three cents per litre to the price of B.C. gasoline.
The low impact of this policy on the price of gasoline is something the previous Liberal government was well aware of in 2008, when we did a forecasting analysis of this and other climate policies. Rather than expose gasoline consumers to the high carbon taxes otherwise necessary for reducing transportation emissions, the low-carbon fuel standard combines smaller price increases with support for increased use of low-emission forms of energy.
Rapidly reducing transportation greenhouse gas emissions in wealthy countries like Canada supports the initiatives of China, Europe and other jurisdictions to replace gasoline consumption with electricity, biofuels and other low-emission energy. Quickly decarbonizing transportation around the globe is essential if humanity is to slow and then reverse the intensifying wildfires, floods, and storms, and the mass migration of people fleeing the worst impacts of climate change.
For a flexible regulation like the low-carbon standard to be effective in reducing gasoline and diesel consumption, the market must be competitive. To that end, an inquiry into B.C.'s gasoline prices and its transportation energy market is welcome.
Nic Rivers is a Canada Research Chair at the University of Ottawa. Mark Jaccard is a professor at Simon Fraser University. Jaccard was chair of the B.C. Utilities Commission in 1996 when he led its inquiry into provincial gasoline prices.

Andrew Thompson Of Adams Wins In Both State & National Future Farmers Of America Awards
Andrew has worked for his grandfather since he was very young and now has his own crops.
Smokey Barn News, November 15, 2013
Andrew Thompson son, of Beth Anthony and grandson of Edwin Anthony is the 2013 national FFA winner of the specialty crop production. Andrew was also the Tennessee state star farmer and specialty crop production winner in Gatlinburg, TN in April.
Andrew has worked for his grandfather since he was very young and now has his own crops. Andrew plans to take his grandfather's part of the farm over soon. His grandfather has taught him and watched over his working skills for sometime now and feels he is more than capable of taking care of the crops. Andrew has worked very hard and participated in several of the FFA competition where he holds several 1st and 2nd place titles.
Andrew graduated from Jo Byrns High School in 2011 and served as president of the FFA chapter for 2 yrs. A special thanks to his advisor Gary Gibson for his true dedication and his loyalty to Andrew and the Jo byrns FFA chapter, none of this would be possible if it wasn't for Gary.

When asked to describe the ideal ambience of their master bedroom, respondents in a current Houzz survey cited calming, cozy and intimate/romantic as their leading three picks. Use as numerous accent colors as you like and pick a dominant colour from the core colors to begin. Reduce them our and either frame or copy and blow up the dimensions and you have some wonderful Pictures for your walls. The company's colour authorities pinpoint this palette as one particular complete of sturdy colors with possible for bold contrasting in a space, like this residence office. As I described ahead of, adding paint is a great way to start off and if you alter your thoughts it is not a key investment to modify later. Remember, when decorating a area in a pink and brown theme, never really feel like you require to instantly purchase new paint and cover all your walls.
Maintain in thoughts the bedroom dimension as well as the amount of lights that comes into the region when selecting as these aspects have an effect on the result of the paint shade that you choose. Seek out colour cues in things you already personal — a favourite piece of art or furnishings. Factoring in both visual impact and emotional effect suggests that bedroom colors might be most restful when they are both soothingly pale and only mildly warm or cool.
Make a modest space appear bigger by using light, pale colors on the walls, floors and ceilings. You need to have to consist of a color for your furnishings in your bedroom paint design and style. Neutral colors are the easiest colors to use for one apparent purpose: they blend with most surroundings. Well, not all of the room styles have the identical colors that will make your area appear a lot more excellent, so you need to make confident the further colors that you can use based on what your design is. In other words, you can have the very best neutral paint colors if you can mix and match the colors in the ideal approaches. Paint store colour specialists can also answer any inquiries you have about the complete painting method.
Plaid silk bedding and silk drapes add luxurious softness to the dark furnishings. If you decide to go much more formal you can use the much more neutral taupe and yellows or go light and add your most beach furnishings which includes wicker. Due to the fact it is associated with desire and passion, it really is a excellent paint color for dining rooms and adult bedrooms, says Zimmer, but wrong for children's rooms.
Designers adore to use gray as a backdrop or neutral shade due to the fact of its capacity to allow other colors to shine. CyFree, I feel a lot of what tends to make them appear modern with each other is the types you often see them arranged in. For example, you would not really feel of pink and brown in a historical sense, or even in the context of nation decorating. Preserve in mind that the lighter gray appears wealthy and can be utilised in combination with darker shades like dark purple. Be cautious about making use of bare wood furniture in a space with pure red walls, as the two can clash.

Andrew Smith & Tyler Smith from NewSpring Church in Greenwood, SC brings us this design incorporating panels that look like waves.
From Andrew: This set has a lot small and big pieces to everything. This set took us about 2 and a half days to build. The main eye candy thing we wanted was the wave 3D panels that we have. The panels are a 1' 1/2" x 1' 1/2" panels. They're made out of cardboard material that we bought online. The set also includes four 5ft trussing and four 8ft trussing all rigged to the ceiling beams.
To light up the panels, we put led tape on the trussing to light the panels. As well with truss warming the trusses with some Chauvet slimpar pro the light bleeds into the panels so I can create a two color effect in the panels.
The panels are hung on the trussing with some 2×4's, eye bolts and aircraft cabling. We cut the 2×4's to the length of the truss, stabled the panels to the 2×4 than strewed the eye bolts to the top of the 2×4. Than we used aircraft cabling to hang the eye bolt to the trussing. For the panels of the sides, we used command strips, put them on the back of the panels and sticked them to the walls. The panels on the risers we used Velcro to hold them to the risers.
The risers are on 12" legs so about 6" of the panels with rise above the risers. The Rogues are Hung onto the beams using beam clamps.
The back grid, we built was in the past with schedule-40 and unistrut and we've just kept it up for used like this set to hold our Elation Pixel tape. The rigging we used 20, 3ft spansets and 4, 6ft spansets. 8 metal splings and 24 shackles. We used the 3ft spansets for the 4 back trusses and to rig to the beams and to the two 8ft trusses in the ceiling. Then the 6ft spansets we used for the two 5ft trusses in the ceiling because of the beams be 8ft apart.
The vision for this set was we wanted cool eye candy stuff but make it feel wide and tall and the lighting placement. I wanted to do big wife washes but as well tight individual beams. I also wanted to be able to do big wash hits but not blind the audience.

It is the year 2050, Earth is so polluted, vision is obscured by smog, lakes and streams are poisoned. Oh! What a terrible sight. This may become a reality, if we keep using non-renewable energy resources. Hello there! A very good morning and I am Pranav Athreya and you have guessed it right, I am speaking for the topic Renewable energy is the need of the hour. At present, the main energy sources used are non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas. There are many disadvantages in using these non-renewable energy sources.
Irreversible damage to the environment by pollution and global warming, damage to the eco systems and threat to Life itself. So my dear friends, What is the solution? Renewable Energy, YES it is the Need of the hour. So, what is renewable energy? It is the energy that comes from natural sources such as sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, water, and biofuels powered by feed stocks. Renewable energy is sustainable. These sources are considered "renewable" because they are naturally replenished in the normal flow of the world.

Renewable resources not only help our planet to stay clean, but also help our economy. There are several sources of renewable energy. Solar power panels can be used to generate electricity. Wind Power is used to run wind turbines and generate electricity. Ocean Wave Energy can be used to run wave power generators and wave power farms can be planned. Biofuels are fuels that are made from materials such as corn, sugar cane, animal fat, sunflower seeds, wild grasses, and soybeans.
The fuel is entirely renewable as replacement crops can be grown. Bio waste-Cow dung is used in rural India even today. This ancient renewable energy source is very useful in generating Gobar Gas. Which is similar to LPG. However, my learned opponents may say supply of renewable energy is variable and intermittent. Reliability increases quickly as a stronger foundation is laid. When the sun is covered by clouds in stormy conditions then theoretically the wind generators would be able to collect more energy.
Conversely, when it is a calm sunny day, the solar power panels will be generating the majority of the energy. The key behind renewable energy sources is diversification, which will ultimately create a more reliable grid than the one driven by crude oil that we have now. Renewable Energy is the need of the hour. Yes, it has benefits for Environment and People. They have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Sources such as fossil fuels contribute heavily to issues like smog, acid rain, and global warming.
It helps to fuel our homes independently in many cases. Using renewable fuels makes us less dependent. There are also many job opportunities for professionals who can design user friendly devices of using renewable energy. It will not only save money in utilities but also save on taxes too. What can we do to address the need of the hour? Looks like a big question. Let us start at our own Home. How? Make Your Home Energy Efficient. Start by conserving energy, there by conserving resources. For example, switch off the lights and fans when not in use.
Encourage usage of Solar panels, wind turbines, oceanic turbines, Bio fuels and Bio waste in common man's daily life to hit the target of using renewable energy sources. My dear friends, I conclude by saying that Renewable Energy is the need of the Hour. There is no crisis in the source of Renewable Energy but the ignorance of using it. Use renewable energy and save the earth. Remember that Planet earth is not inherited by our forefathers but is a loan we have taken from our great-grand-children.

A mask is nothing more than a barrier; a way to prevent color from being applied to the surface you're working on. Masks can take many forms; there's liquid frisket, mylar when we use a precut stencil or mask, and even something as unimposing as Contact Paper.
It's that seemingly not-very-arty product I'll use in today's video to control where the Alcohol Ink goes, and doesn't, leaving white space on the Yupo. I will admit to being really surprised that the solvent base of the Alcohol Ink didn't disturb the adhesive on the Contact Paper. It's important that you burnish it well to help keep the color from creeping under the edge of the masks. So long as you do you'll see pretty good results with crisp edges.
Once the Contact Paper is removed, the white Yupo surface is revealed and is ready for whatever you want to do with it. I chose to doodle in those spaces using PITT and Gelly Roll pens, but your options are open. Pens of all types work well on Yupo, so experiment to see which you like.
Working with a mask in this manner allows for all kinds of creative options, so be sure to give it a try. Plus, you can reuse the colored masks once you remove them from the Yupo. I stuck some on a journal page and really like the look.

If Tanks can One-shot Assassins
Then Assassins should be allowed to do meaningful damage to tanks, and have faster burst against ADCs. Before you drop a 'Tanks counter Assassins' Yes, but that should be by locking them down so their _team_ can kill them, being a meatshield that blocks their crucial skillshot from hitting the ADC, or blocking them out from the fight by zoning. Not by straight up killing them with Perma CC. The only class that should be able to achieve that are Bruisers. And if Tanks are allowed to OS Assassins, then things like pre-nerf Rengar and Silence Talon should still exist to instantly erase ADCs. Why is one class hard-countered by their weakness when they don't even hard-counter their strength? Personally, I think Class Strength/weaknesses need to come back in a meaningful (but still balanced) way, instead of the current meta where ADCs and Tanks have become more generalist, and as a result are forcing Bruisers and Assassins to the side.

Dear Rip,
I used to worry about when my time came, and I made it up to heaven, if you would know me. If you would know that I was your Mama.
The day you were born, I only got to see you for a few minutes before they wheeled you away. You were black hair, pink cheeks, and even from feet away, mine.
After that I didn't get to see you for one whole day. You were too little to leave the nursery and my body wouldn't let me get to you. It was terrible. I cried and cried, and asked anyone who would listen if you would know me. If you would know I was your Mama.
But you did. You did, you did, you did.
The moment you heard my voice, the minute you were in my arms, it was so obvious you had very literally been a part of me and that nothing could make either of us forget that.
Even as you took your last breaths on this earth, I knew you were at peace because I felt your peace in my arms. That was a gift you gave to me.
So I don't worry about it anymore. When I see you in Heaven, I will know you and you will know me. We are part of one another. You will always know me.
I will always be,

Keeping warm (and talking wool)
January 12, 2011
I'm keeping warm over here, with the fresh snow outside (only 5 inches in Philly), hot coffee on the table, wool drying on the radiator, and great tunes to keep my heart and head happy (currently rotating Bruce Springsteen, the early years), and thought I'd pop in to say "hey!" and "look at some things I made" and "look at some things I will be making."
As you may remember, last February I started working weekends at Rosie's Yarn Cellar and could no longer resist the call of the Manos Rittenhouse 5-ply. You haven't tried it yet? Shame on you. It really is amazing. AMAZING. (Rosie's also ships, ahem. In case you need some enabling and can't find it locally). This was also during a time of great strife for me, computer-wise. My trusty laptop had become the breeding ground of a nasty virus and one of my friends was kind enough to help me out on that front. In true barter fashion, all he asked for was a handknit hat in return. One that he could throw his hair up into, push back on his head a bit, and keep warm and awesome in its slouchiness. Well, that just begs to be the Felicity Hat if you ask me.
I knit this blue one for myself, since I had unexpectedly gifted my previously made one to a dear friend while dancing around drunkenly together at her housewarming party a few months prior.
I wore this hat for many months last year, very pleased with it. Sadly, it never really lived up to the awesomeness of that first Felicity hat. I don't think I knit the body of the hat as long as the first.
I also knit this brown one. This one being for my computer savvy friend with a penchant for slouchy hats. Of course, due to bad schedules on both our parts I didn't end up gifting him a handknit hat until well into early summer. At that time, I had misplaced this brown one and so the blue hat when to live on the head of an amazing drummer and the brown one became mine. The brown one is my go to hat for cold days. The Rittenhouse has held up without any pilling through a lot of putting on, taking off, being shoved into coat pockets, dropped on the floor, stuffed into the bottom corner of a bag (I need my knits to be hearty, since I am not so super delicate with clothes. Clothes are meant to be worn and loved.).
These two hats cemented my absolute love for the Rittenhouse 5-ply and the colorway Smoke might be the most perfect gray every created. After seeing a friend design a gorgeous cabled sweater with this yarn, I knew I wanted to make something with cables in it for my next project with this yarn.
I cast on at the end of summer but sadly this sweater's progress was seriously derailed by some deadline knitting quickly followed by holiday knitting. This is my next big thing to tackle and finish. I already know that this sweater will bring nothing but smiles. (Knitting details: Lauren by Ann Weaver. Manos Rittenhouse 5-ply in Smoke. Size 7 needles. Alternating skeins every other row)
In conclusion. Manos Rittenhouse 5-ply. I love you.
Oh, and just for fun, here's a picture of our kitchen-to-be! We gutted the old kitchen and gutted the room where the new kitchen will be and are plowing ahead with this project. I will definitely show more photos of this room in progress, since it will be our largest renovation undertaking.
My love for Rowanspun Aran…
December 30, 2010
A year or so ago, I acquired a small lot of 6 skeins of Rowanspun Aran in a dark blue color. It was initially going to become a Garter Yoke Cardigan, but after I increased way too much on the raglan and I had to ripout I decided to put the yarn aside for something else. It was one of those moments of realization that while you love the yarn and love the pattern, it wasn't coming together right. I'm trying to listen to those realizations when they happen, instead of ignoring them until the project is almost finished, or finished, and all I have is regret and the need to rip.
Along came Idlewood, and I knew that would be the right pairing of pattern and yarn. I cast on shortly after Rhinebeck and finished before Thankgiving. A quick knit that when bound off filled me with the realization that yes, this was perfect and I would be wearing this sweater all the time.
I have been. I wear it at least once a week. It's the perfect layering sweater for the cold we've been having, and the yarn is so crunchy yet soft. Rowanspun Aran has won my heart over. It really sucks that it's discontinued and only a few people are destashing it on Ravelry but not in quantities or colors I really want. The texture of the yarn reminds me of Manos Classica in it's subtle thick-thin and the fabric it knits into is gorgeous. I've gotten so many compliments on it. In fact, I really need to wash and re-block it today so I can continue to wear it ad nauseum. I really need to knit another one of these sweater, with a little longer of sleeves. Perhaps elbow length or even 3/4 length? But what yarn to use?!
Pattern: Idlewood by Cecily Glowik Macdonald
Size: 40 but at a smaller gauge
Yarn: Rowanspun Aran, colorway 965, used ~4.5 skeins
Needles: US 9 | 5.5mm
Mods: My gauge is a tad tighter, so I am knitting up a size and fitting it to me as I knit. I used size 9s for both the cowl and the body since the fabric was fine enough, and drapey enough. And I didn't notice that I was supposed to use a larger needle for the cowl. Heh. I didn't follow the directions for the increases, as I am not very curvy. I did 2 sets of increases spaced accordingly, since I tried on the sweater to place them. I added 2 inches to the length of the body, since I am a long person and the length in the pattern didn't hit where I wanted it to in order to get more of a tunic silhouette.
I also used the left over half skein to knit a winter hat for my dear brother. He doesn't usually wear winter hats but has been this past season since upstate NY has been mighty chilly. Poor thing is wearing the hat I made him years ago when I started picking up knitting again and I know that hat is too small. I'm sending off this warm treat to him soon to keep that smart brain warm.
Pattern: Kim's Hat by Kim Hamlin
Size: Largest (my brother is 6'3". That's a big human.)
Yarn: Rowanspun Aran, colorway 965, ~.6 of a skein (~160yds)
Needles: US 8 | 5.0 mm
Mods: ribbed brim is 2 inches long and the body of the hat had added length too. Wanted to make sure he could fold over the brim and keep most of his ears warm still.
OH…AND…both of these projects came totally from stash so they count for my Stashdown project! How exciting!
Soup weather
November 10, 2010
Philadelphia is getting chilly! I'm not quite used to the cooler temperatures yet, on account of having the hottest summer ever, but I'm looking forward to the winter. We've been eating a lot of soup around here, to ward off the evening chill.
I usually make a big pot of bean soup but this time I tried something new. Having a few vegetables around that I wanted to use, and knowing that I love pureed soups, this was a no brainer.
1/4 Green Cabbage Head, chopped
~5 Yukon Gold Potatoes, chopped
~5 Purple Potatoes, chopped
1 small Butternut Squash, peeled and chopped
Milk (I used Rice Milk. Water could work too, I guess)
Garlic, salt, pepper, other spices to taste
Boil the chopped cabbage, chopped potatoes, and chopped squash until soft.
Drain and blend (I ran it all through the food grinder on my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer)
Add (rice) Milk until the mixture reaches consistency you like.
Simmer on low, adding garlic, salt, pepper, etc to taste.
And enjoy!
Have a great day. I'm cooking up another batch of this soup this afternoon! Soup galore!
FO 2010 | Ulmus Shawl
September 28, 2010
Well, this shawl is simply fantastic. Why it took me so long to finish it is beyond me.
According to my project page on Ravelry, I started this little number in May 2009 when the pattern was released. I was immediately enamored with it, since stripes are kind of a passion of mine and this would give me a chance to utilize 2 skeins of sock yarn from stash to make something so cute.
I went with a skein of Madelintosh Sock in Norway Spruce (oh look. teal. what a surprise) and a skein of Socks that Rock Lightweight in Obsidian (I do love brown), with plans to knit to largest size. And I cast on and knit knit knit for a little while. And then I put it down to start something else, with all intentions of returning to Ulmus shortly…
…and then all of a sudden it's 2010. I put this project on my stash down list because I really wanted to get it finished and around my neck. That plan proved successful because now it is finished, in all its choqua glory.
I ran out of the Norway Spruce yarn at the end of the border, so I had to omit 2 rows and bind off with some Louet Gems in teal. See? Having a lot of teal yarn really does pay off, eh?
Size: Largest in pattern
Needle: US 6 – 4.0 mm
Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight (Colorway: obsidian)
Madelinetosh Tosh Sock (Colorway: norway spruce)
Louet Gems (Colorway: teal)
Mods: Omitted last 2 rows before the bind off
