I really love how these flowers turned out. They are very easy to do. And I made them into pins. Would be lovely for a little Easter gift to mom, daughter, sister? :)
I see people have looked at my blogs but no one comments.
Let's try something.
If you want to see how these gorgeous flowers are made. Let's see a few comments and I will post the directions.
It's worth a shot...:)

JAMES Blunt's debut album, Back To Bedlam, has sold 12 million copies and has been number one in 18 countries and top 10 in 35 more.
He could easily sell out big arenas but has chosen to introduce his new album, All The Lost Souls, with a UK tour of theatre-size venues.
"I enjoy small shows as they help me reconnect with the audience. It will be good to see the whites of people's eyes again," grins the 33-year-old former army captain, adding that he's looking forward to his two nights at Wolverhampton Civic next Monday and Tuesday.
"My drummer Karl Brazil is from Birmingham so we enjoy playing in the Midlands - and going out after the gig.
"It's a diverse show - both quiet and lively - to introduce the new album. It's about the audience discovering the music for themselves which is what happened with Back To Bedlam."
But James says that the big halls beckon.
"Hopefully we'll be back in the UK later in the year playing arena-size venues."
He muses on the expectations of following up an album as massive as Back To Bedlam. "I approached All The Lost Souls with a clear mind. I didn't feel any pressure. Music is often judged by units sold and chart positions but I put all that aside and focused on what music meant to me.
"In the UK I got a positive response but people also had a dig at me. That's OK, as music's about people's opinions. I write songs for the love of music not to try to please people.
"I need to express myself through music. It's a challenge but I surprised myself along the way. On the second album I was much more confident about expressing myself."
Five songs were written on the road and when it came time to compose the remaining tracks James retreated to Ibiza.
After the constant cacophony, the silence took some getting used to.
"I had to stop and look around at what had really happened over the past three years and have a think about it," he says.
After being nominated for five Grammys, landing the first number one single in America (You're Beautiful) by a British act since Elton John's Candle in the Wind 1997, and winning two MTV Awards and two Brit Awards, James found himself in demand all over the world.
"Working around the world, you have to turn up everywhere and do your bit. It's hard work but I hope people get to hear the music and I get invited back to play in concert.
"I'm often asked about meaningless stuff by journalists but I'd rather see music as art, as part of culture.
"The new album has taken off in a big way in South America -and the single 1973 was number one in Venezuela - so I'm hoping to go there soon. They're really passionate for the music. There are also plans to visit South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Africa."
With reports that he owns a £1.4 million villa in Ibiza and royalties from the likes of You're Beautiful presumably pouring in, it must be a comfortable life for the Sandhurst graduate who served in Kosovo.
He laughs: "People think you make more money than you do. I write songs because it's my passion. I will always write and record songs."

Tsunoh's Ragnarok Online Game Review
The basic structure is like most MMORPGs: hack-and-slash, grind fest, etc. But RO is dear to its players because of the little quirks it has: such as the idea that sticking a card from a monster into your equipment will make it stronger (a concept artists have lampooned many times), the endless HATS! quests that people sink so much time into (because it's the only other way you can customize how your character looks), the PvP system (quite complex; skill and gear are huge factors here and battles can be long and epic depending on the players' abilities) which also leads to the GvG/WoE (War of Emperium; a faction called a Guild versus other Guilds over Castles, which give the owner certain rare items and benefits), an item upgrade system, and Hats.

Tsunoh's Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Tv Review
Ahh, the best part.
My average is a 5, which should give you a clue how much I enjoyed this anime. Sometimes the humor seems a little forced, but the overall effect is balanced. It is odd though when previously dead characters resurrect (lol), or when dead characters die again, like the whole thing reset itself, but the 'Arc' presentation makes it all the more interesting without being annoying. The first arc of the story draws you in, 2nd arc is like 'Hey what happened?!' but it gives depth to the characters. By the 3rd arc, you're getting used to the reset thing, but you are still mad with curiosity what the heck is going on. And by the fourth it all makes sense. The use of foreshadowing was also very well played.

Tsunoh's Trinity Blood Tv Review
AGH- this is where it really fails. If you're a diehard fan of TRB, you might want to turn around now as this will sting.
First off, Characters.
All of them are the standard stereotypes in anime- the nice guy-suffering-internal-conflict, the girl who is rescued by the nice guy(and will inevitably fall for him), the bossy woman, and so on. It was bad enough to recycle character designs. But recycling personalities is just... lame. Did they even TRY to make them unique? And why is it that every single woman in this series except for Kate (Scott- the ghost) needed to be saved?
Some sugar *
* I admit having a vampire feeding on other vampires instead of humans was interesting.

Tsunoh's Jigoku Shoujo Tv Review
unfortunately, by the second episode it was already getting on my nerves. The same process over and over again, like a 'monster of the week' thing, except it was 'victim of the week'. bah.
also, it is clear who is the 'good guy, bad guy'. this anime is tagged as 'Psychological', but it isn't. It tells you what to think, it tells you who to side with. To be rated PSC, an anime must require DEEP thought. want a sample, try death note. you will be toyed with like a piece of string- now THAT is psychological. psychology is also used in Gundam Seed, where it is not clear what is right or wrong. meaning you can't go brain-dead and float off in the middle of the episode. be forced to think for yourself.
what annoyed me the most was how they handled character development.

Friends of UW Health Wig Salon Helps Patients Feel Confident Again
Finding the right wig to wear while undergoing treatment for cancer wasn't about vanity for Nancy Zieman. Losing her hair was an outward sign things were not normal that made her feel vulnerable.
Nancy is a national celebrity and treasure to the millions of people who know her as the host of Sewing With Nancy, the longest-running sewing series in the history of North American television that airs on 89 percent of public television stations across the United States.
She's worn her signature blond pixie for as long as she's been on television, and it was important to Nancy to continue to look like herself. "I have to walk with three legs," she says referring to the cane she uses for support. "And you just don't want to have all these physical changes all at once. I don't want cancer to define me. [Wearing a wig] helped me feel more confident that I could do my job and that people wouldn't feel sorry for me."
Finding the perfect wig was a bit like the story of The Three Bears, and it took Nancy a couple of tries to find the one that was "just right."
Her first visit was to a commercial wig salon recommended by a friend, but their inventory of blond wigs was low. "Picture a chihuahua with the fountain hair - I was just drowning in hair! And my husband, who is not necessarily a person who notices these things, went to his smart phone and pulled up the Sewing With Nancy website and said - 'this is what she looks like.'"
Nancy finally found "herself" at the Friends of UW Health Wig Salon at the UW Carbone Cancer Center. The salon provides free wigs and styling to patients at two locations in Madison - University Hospital and the clinic at 1 South Park.
"The stylist looked at me and said, 'You have a small face!' And so she put my back to the mirror and put these wigs on, and when she turned me around, I almost started to cry happy tears." Nancy's hairdresser styled the wig, thinning the bangs a little, and she resumed her work on air without anyone knowing the difference.
"It was such a relief. It was one thing that didn't have to change. I knew there would be physical changes, but this was one thing I could cross off my list."
Nancy says the compassionate care provided by the stylist is just one of many treatments that has made a difference to her recovery. She affectionately refers to her wig as "Raquel" after the brand of wigs created by actress Raquel Welch that the salon carries. She admits wearing a wig isn't for everyone (they can be hot and itchy), but she says it's worth trying one on just to see if it fits your personality.
"I am finished with treatment (hooray), my hair is growing (double hooray), and I'm back to a full and productive life. Not only am I grateful to the UW Carbone Cancer Center's Wig Salon, but also to the medical staff at the UW Carbone Cancer Center-remarkable individuals."
Make a Difference for Other Patients
The wigs and styling at the Friends of UW Health Wig Salon are entirely free with funding from the Friends of UW Health. The Wig Salon serves more than 400 patients each year. For more details, call (608) 265-0090.

O.J. is going to prison
Those who thought O.J. Simpson should have been found guilty of murdering his ex-wife and her friend, may take solace in the likelihood that he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
The weird symmetry with the number 13 associated with the two cases is enough to make us superstitious: Simpson was convicted of an armed robbery that happened on Sept. 13 and was found guilty on the 13th anniversary (Friday) of his Los Angeles murder acquittal. The Las Vegas jury that convicted him deliberated for 13 hours after a 13-day trial.
And we probably don't need to mention that 13 is a notoriously unlucky number.
While some will insist that this is justice delayed, we will settle for justice under the circumstances. Simpson, the former NFL star and pop icon, now 61, has been an embarrassment for the past 13 years, drifting from one seedy project to the next.
One low point was his participation in the plan to publish a book titled, "If I Did It," based on how the L.A. murder might have transpired -- if he actually had committed it. Thankfully, publication of that tome was aborted.
But he hit bottom a year ago when he and five knucklehead pals stormed into a room at a Vegas hotel-casino and grabbed several game balls, plaques and photos. At least two of the men with Simpson were armed, and one claimed Simpson asked him to bring a gun.
Simpson claimed that the memorabilia belonged to him. The jury didn't buy it. He was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges. He will appeal, but could end up spending the rest of his life in prison.
Whatever might have happened 13 years ago, we say good riddance to Simpson now.
Many will view latest verdict as overdue justice for O.J. Simpson.

|What is RFID tech - a primer ..
The fourth sem and second sem MBA Operations students in their class now have 125 Khz passive RFID based automated attendance tracking system implemented by the students in the class.
As part of a mini-project / mini- challenge, the project was posed to the students. The biggest challenge for the students, being from Business Management classes, was not only to identify the technological aspects, but also to identify the best technology / vendor combination that could offer the best VALUE-FOR-MONEY ..
As we understood, there were three phases in the project implementation.
Phase I - identifying the relevant technology, the correct accessories for the design, evaluating the design
Phase II - identify the suitable vendors to give the different components and evaluate the software at the best cost and the earliest delivery date and
Phase III - implement the technology in the classroom in the shortest time available after doing the analysis and required programming etc.The students had to identify the best RFID technology available, design the suitable frequencies to work along, design the complete system, including the software or purchase it. After completing phase I, the students had to identify the vendors, talk to them, talk the financials and thirdly, plan the implementation project in as short a time as possible.
|Wide and varied RFID real-life applications ..
Being Management students, all along we have been stressing on the second most important constraint, after technology, COSTS - to reduce item costs and implementation costs of this high-tech Asset Tracking Technology (ATT). As of our information, no other business school or central or state government funded academic institute in Bangalore has accomplished this feat through the students.
The following five second semester MBA students, (2017-19 batch)
Vignesh Kumar S,
Jai Kiran Kumar,
Chandan S
Dinesh Pasupathy
HariGanesh Shekar
carried out the RFID tech job (incl software) in just under a week at a cost of Rs 1400/-, total expenses less labour and transportation. They did it for a class of 70 taking the subject of Logistics and Supply Chain Management. These students deserve all kudos and motivation to continue their efforts to master more advanced technologies and their practical field implementation.
We shall seriously look at automating the attendance recording in other operations classes and the whole Uty too. Having understood the different aspects and facets of this technology, scaling this technology to other streams and Colleges, including ACED in the University is quite tractable.

Ninjago & all related elements are the property of LEGO/Warner Animation Group
Warning: This post contains spoilers.
Back in mid-September the LEGO Ninjago movie opened up in cinemas nationwide. And while it opened with little competition it also sadly seemed to open-up to little fanfare as well. But is the film really the dud mainstream critics say it is, or is it just a different kind of playset. Let's dive in and take a look shall we.
In terms of story the film does seem to be a bit more reserved then the previous two LEGO films trading an over the top adventure for a slightly more down to earth and self-contained tale about a teenage boy named Lloyd having to lead a double life as a regular highschool student and leader of Ninjago's ninja heroes that protect the city from the nefarious Lord Garmadon. The twist being that Garmadon is actually Lloyd's father and his civilian self is constantly belittled and ridiculed by his neighbors and classmates for being the son of the villain with many stating "his dad ruins everything" And this overall ends up being the impetus of the films story. Lloyd trying to reconcile his feelings towards his father and wanting to understand why the villain abandoned he and his mother. Thankfully he gets a chance to confront these feelings and his father after the dreaded Meowthra, a giant cat is unleashed on Ninjago and the group of Ninja along with Garmadon have to go on an adventure through the jungle to find some mystical McGuffins to stop the beast.
Overall the story of the film is an interesting one, like the first LEGO film it focuses on a strained relationship between a father and a son though this time completely within the confines of the LEGO world. The real world only being set-up pieces for the start and end of the film. And while the story may not be as energetic and extravagant as previous pieces, it still manages to do what it needs to do quite well, even if it is more subdued then past installments.
The animation for the film is of course the next area of note. The overall visual style of the movie is indeed the same as previous LEGO films using a modified CG animation to give an authentic LEGO feel. However it is somewhat obvious the film didn't have quite as extravagant a budget as the past two installments as some character movements do look a bit stiff, even by LEGO standereds. That said however the mix of non-LEGO made backgrounds in world does give it a somewhat unique and organic feel that helps the movie stand out enough to make it as visually appealing as its older siblings.
The voice cast aslo does a phenomenal job as Dave Franco's performance as Lloyd is a solid portrayal of a moody angsting teen and Justin Theroux does a great Will Ferrel meets Saturday morning cartoon villain for Garmadon. Abbi Jacobson, Zack Woods and co also help give life to the rest of the Ninja friends that come along for the ride. And Jackie Chan is a serviceable Master Wu.
At the end of the day while LEGO Ninjago may not be the strongest installment in Warner Bros. LEGOverse, it is still a decently enjoyable and worthwhile endeavor, that like past films preaches the importance of family and friends. As well as teaching viewers that no matter what others say you can work to better yourself as a person and a parent.
Final Grade
Story: 7
Animation: 7
Overall 7 out of 10.

hey there-it seems i've gotten you're interest. well as you could tell i'm fucking fired up and ready to rock. what do you think this record should do? should it be heavy and out of control or should we try to find a more sensitive soft side. I'm going with the bang, bang on the head. HEAVY! LATER-JEFF
hey-what the hell-twice in the same week. what's going on? you know what, we sat down and said fuck a bunch of greatest near hits CD. it's going to be a new record or nothing at all! i will tell you guys that it will not take 3 years but hopefully 3-4months, it will be previewed in it's demo form on the internet and it will be different. there you go BIZZACH! who loves you baby? you guy's are all the motivation i need to go out and make this CD. fuck the radio, fuck a single and fuck 3 years! We're making a Hunger CD-love you guys-jeff w/thehunger P.S. has anybody seen the rest of my band-they haven't been on the site in years-THEY SUCK! I STILL LOVE YOU!
Friends, Houstonians, Family: it has been officially decided and the band is going to immediately start the recording of a new record. after a lot of thought amongst all the members we feel we have something to say and something to prove. i feel like a boxer who has lost his title belt-I WANT IT BACK! We plan to attempt to write this record in a couple of months and let you guys here it. I'm really excited as this record will be the first record where we really try to sit down and write it all together. It should make for a change in the sound and maybe the style but change could be good. right on! as for the show at scout bar last week-when is the last time you where at a show at scout that went off like that. the hunger friends and family were CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! holy crap-i really felt the love in the building and it was just another reason i felt obligated and driven to make a new record. you guys do it to me! I will get started on this record this monday and unlike other hunger records give weekly or bi-weekly video and audio updates on the site. take care people-jeff/thehunger
hey guys-just keeping you informed about things going on with the band and another band in town. we have a show coming up on may 6th at sam's concert hall. it should be a great event and a drunken time. sams is knowm for turning the normal, quiet person into a complete drunken idiot. lets all go be drunken idiots together-it should be great! we've also decided that over the next 2 month period we are going to lock ourselves up and write a new record. i will keep you informed but you heard me right-a new record. one last topic is the message board. it seems some of you guys have been battling it out with the fans of blue october via both bands message boards. i think its great, old fashioned american fun so have at it. i only ask that you show them the same respect you've shown the hunger over all these years. you can hate them if thats what you want to do, but do it with class and dignity. i personally have met and spoken with the guys from blue october on many occasions and i must admit, they are extremely nice texas guys. i couldn't be happier for them and all their success. they have been trying just as long as the hunger and they finally made it. Congrats! you will never see me on their message board but spread the word-the hunger says a million congratulations. Now when their fans are slammin the hunger on the message boards do what you got to do, battle it out, but do it respectfully. go get em team! love you guys-jeff
hey peeps-let me start by saying friday was the most fun i've had in beaumont in a long, long time. everyone really got involved in the show and partied on well past 2am. OK-now on to the issue at hand. imagine being at your job(lawyer, waiter, salesman, etc..)and several customers keeping pulling on your twig and giggle berries. my level of focus was put to the test friday when my balls where bashed repeatedly by several young ladies while we were playing. it's rock and roll! however-i'm trying to do a job and no where in the application did it say "you must be jacked off during the middle of your performance". i believe that would be called a live sex show! i love you girls and you helped us celebrate and have a good time but dang!!! LEAVE ME BALLS AND SHAFT OUT OF IT! for those of you recording the show friday when you here me singing out of pitch look for the strange hand on my balls, see me whince in pain and sing like a 12 year old hitting puberty. as for now-i had a great time and can't wait until the next time. the friends and family rule baby!!! jeff w/thehunger
hey people-just a heads up to the people of beaumont that we will be there this friday at a new venue-cactus canyon. we've never played there before in our long history but new things can be good. hope to see you all out for a night of mayhem! much luv guys-jeff
Hey Kids-i got a question for you? what do you guys think about a "greatest hits" record. I'm laughing-you've got to have hits to call it a greatest hits record so we will call it a hunger compilation or something. anyway-the idea behind it would be to release tracks from all the records and a couple of new ones. i know that the old stuff is hard to get so here would be a chance plus some b-sides and new tracks. it could be pretty darn cool! let me know what you think on the message board or send me an email. take care-jeff/thehunger
hey guys-its been a while! the music biz has a way of doing things to you. it takes time and slows it down to where days become months and months become years. with that being said there is no excuse. i want to thank you guys for the last couple of shows which have all been crazy. the shows in lubbock,witchita falls and amarillo and quite simple been legendary. as for houston they never change-YOU ALWAYS MAKE IT HAPPEN! as of this moment we are working on new show dates and new music and possibly a greatest hits kind of thing. one more thing-for all the people who wrote in with thanks and questions about stephen bogle THANK YOU! he dedicated his life to the band and i'm sure it warms his heart to read your messages. we will see ya soon-take care-jeff/thehunger
well we are now in amarillo! its cold as hell and almost everyone has some residuals from last night. to the girl in the red leather pants-get the hell off the bus! leave the kids at home this is for adults only! tres punto's lives forever! as for the show it went great and the crowd was off the hook. thanks alot to the people of lubbock and Jake's. The Hunger has a great time and i'm sure we will tonight. tonight is "midnight rodeo" in amarillo so get here early. 10 years, 5 speed and bobaflex will also rock your world. enough talk-time to drink! Later-Jeff/TheHunger

Rita can suck my Pita-so far this has been a big waste of time. yes i know my roof can still fly off and land on my head, etc.. but as of now i'm just bored out of my mind. no real need for concern on my part as i am an old veteran of the hurrican scene. i have a back up plan should things go horribly wrong. so here is what is really going on in hurricane central. Not a damn thing! armageddon is happening on TV but it's not going on at my house. just got through making some lunch and cleaning the swimming pool. the only thing that's bothering me at the moment is the uncanny silence outside. it's really, really, strange to go outside and hear nothing. i will give a Dr. Jeff Wilson, "hurricane tactician", update later in the evening when the fight is really on. until then-may the force be with you-sincerely forrest gump-oopps-jeff

Lowdown Wildlife
Not all African wildlife is huge. These little fellows can be very destructive, though. Some also consider them tasty.

Ruby Shoots embroidery project from The New Crewel: Exquisite Designs in Contemporary Embroidery by Katherine Shaughnessy
Being new to crewel embroidery but addicted to books, as soon as I opened this book, it was love at first sight! I found this book immediately accessible with projects that are simple and beautiful. Beginners and experts will find this book inspiring and projects can be adapted and applied to many products.
Here's my first attempt at one of the projects – I plan to mount this on canvas with a ribbon for hanging.
Christmas embroidery
I stitched these designs in white onto red felt and made pillow ornaments. Lots of fun to make!
Another owl softie
More bird softie ornaments!
These use a pattern from Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle and are made of felt with embroidery. I used stencils for the words 'Joy' and 'Love' and hand embroidered flowers using a variety of stitches – satin, oyster, stem, french knot, etc. I used a stamp pad with sand colored ink to make the white birds a bit antique-looking.
Gingerbread house
I love Therese Laskey's The Softies Kit which inspired me to create this mini gingerbread house.
Another Spool Sewing bird softie
Here are more birds that I made following the spool sewing pattern. I used felt for the body and cotton fabric for the underside. I embroidered the front and added a bead for the eye.
Here are some mini birds that will make nice ornaments. I made poinsettia flowers using oyster stitches and french knots.

Saskatchewan: Government
The province of Saskatchewan has a parliamentary form of government. The chief executive of Saskatchewan is the lieutenant governor, who is appointed by the Canadian governor-general in council to serve a 5-year term. The lieutenant governor, representing the British crown, holds a position that is largely honorary. The premier, the leader of the majority party, is the actual head of the provincial government and presides over the executive council. The Legislative Assembly contains 58 seats, including those of the premier and the members of the executive council. Members of the legislature are popularly elected to a 5-year term; however, the lieutenant governor, on the advice of the premier, may call for an election before the term has been completed. 6 senators appointed by the Canadian governor-general in council and by 14 members in the House of Commons popularly elected to serve terms of up to five years in the Canadian Parliament represent the province of Saskatchewan.

text: Let me ask a question myself, what is an ecosystem? The ecosystem is one that encourages the growth of a particular sector of industry or product. So the ecosystem includes either the creation or existence of the infrastructure which includes again for design and manufacture, the manpower trained to handle the technologies involved, facility for training the manpower, test facilities, certification, processes, a supply chain, availability of specialised raw materials if there are any, and so on – it can be expanded without much of a limit. So the ecosystem as applied to the aerospace and defence includes the inclusion of all these parameters. And with particular reference to the aerospace sector which uses very specialised aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, rivets, nuts and screws that needs to be of special grade or tested grade and certified as airworthy. Now if we don't have any of these present within the country, then the ecosystem is missing. Even in the case of availability of trained engineering manpower, we don't have the ecosystem where you have either aerospace engineers or mechanical engineers trained for working or operating in the aerospace sector. So we don't have the availability of these various kinds of resources in the country and therefore the aerospace and defence sector in the country is unable to grow to the extent that it needs to grow. This is where the creation of ecosystem is extremely important and therefore the Government is the one that needs to address these by setting up of laboratories, test facilities, training institutes or may be even incentivising SMEs or large organisations to conduct training programmes, seminars, workshops etc etc. And this is where the Government has to play a very major role in incentivising and facilitating the growth of the aerospace and defence sector in this country.

(1) Well Known Writer Shobha De will publish book on especially about Kareena Kapoor Fashion Style and Sense without anything about her personal life.
As per Latest Kareena Kapoor Interviews, she said that, "It is not going to be an autobiography or anything. I wouldn't want my life to be completely read by everyone. It has nothing to do with my personal life or the way I am."
"I've not even lived my life completely the way I want to. I don't want it to be merely an interesting read for sure. There's more to me than just that. It will help the youngsters put things together in terms of fashion."
(2) About her Upcoming Movie of Director Reema Kagti which is still untitled Opposite Aamir Khan:- This 30 years old Bollywood Actress said about that, "Journalism is all about sensationalism in today's time, it's not much about writing, and that's the truth and it's sad. Maybe 30 years later, I'll write my biography."


text: Since we have so darned many roos and Dad, who said he'd start culling them when he was in town this week didn't start anything, we've still got too many and they are SOOO aggressive. They are mounting everything! The young ones, the guineas, the poor ducks! They are also attacking one another. Dad's big BA, ds and nephew named Alpha, went after my Red Sex-Link, Goldie. Goldie ran and got stuck in the poultry net fence. Once he got stuck, the others went after him, too. His head is bleeding under the back of the comb. He got so wrapped up in the fence that we had to cut a big hole to get him out. Even then, we had to bring him onto the house and cut more string off him. I think most of the wounds on his leg/thigh area are from pulled feathers, but it seems his leg is actually hurt. We've quarantined him to the dog kennel and dusted the entire area with DE because being in a North Florida pine forest, we are infested with fire ants and any other kind of ant around. I've put my dog on guard duty and locked the Blue Heeler up for the night since he's an instigator. Mom and Dad leave tomorrow and I've got to wowrk at 7. I teach, so I can't easily take the day off to sit with my roo, I can't even take off to sit witha sick kid-he's not allowed to get sick. I think he ought to recover, but I'm worried. I'd bring him in but he IS a ROOSTER and an actively crowing one at that. These boys crow ALL NIGHT and ALL DAY! What else might I do?

It has officially been a month since I published Twin Souls and I managed to sell forty-seven copies in that single month! That may not seem like a lot, but I am still very proud of it and cannot wait to sell even more and for the sequel to be out and ready for reading!
I have several reviews expected to come out this month, so I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say. There is also an interview with me scheduled for tomorrow morning, which I shall redirect you to when the time comes for those of you interested in reading it!

This would be a great help to the new reefers in the area. It would be nice to have a place that you could stick very helpfull threads. I am thinking a non posting section adding only things that are helpful, kinda like the FAQ section. I have asked what the different types of macro alge's look like before and that has slipped of into the forum abyss, just an example of things that might be kept in a section that you don't have to rumage thru to find what your looking for.
Sorry I seem to be having a hard time explaining what I'm thinking. Hope it makes sence.
Let us see what everyone else say about it.
I would love a beginners section! I have been doing this for 2 yyears and I still know nothing. I guess you can't teach an old dog any tricks!
Jason and Andrea-
Well here was my first thought. To me, this entire message board is a begnniners forum. I'm not really sure what I would or would not put into a special forum. I know we are working on a beginners list of FAQ and Acronyms and the simple how to guide. These items will be posted on the nav bar to the left <----, but I'm not sure if we need any more forums????
Speaking as a beginner, I would agree with Adam. I love the idea of a FAQ, acronyms, and How
To section in the nav bar. I also think
of the message board as one giant library.
I've had to train myself to not just jump on the board and post a
question; but first to take the key words of that question and enter them into
the search function of the message board.
I almost always find the answer and a lot of additional answers to
question I don't know to ask.
In regards to SandRider's post, Mark's questions are what
inspired me to dedicate a blog to my reef tank.
I know I'm going to be asking a lot of questions and I don't want to
have to type out all that info every time. Since I planed on keeping a journal/log on my
tank anyway, I decided it would be best to type it out once and post it
online. Then all I have to do is create
a hyperlink to it in my signature and refer people to it whenever I ask a
question. I've got the skeleton laid but
no info in it yet as I do not have a tank yet.
You can check it out at TheTank.blog.co.uk
if you want.

Designing English looks at the skills and innovations of these very early specialists who worked to preserve, clarify, adorn, authorize and interpret writing in English. For almost a thousand years most texts had been written in Latin, the common European language. Beyond the traditions established for Latin, books in English were often improvisatory, even homespun, but they were just as inventive and creative. In an age when each book was made uniquely by hand, each book was an opportunity for redesigning. The introduction of the English text posed questions: How did scribes choose to arrange the words and images on the page in each manuscript? How did they preserve, clarify and illustrate writing in English? What visual guides were given to early readers of English in how to understand or use their books?
The exhibition explores all elements of design, from the materials used, such as the size and shape of animal skins used to create parchment, to the design of texts for different uses, such as for performing songs, plays or music. Medical texts and practical manuals feature alongside ornate religious texts, including rare examples of unfinished illustrations that reveal the practical processes of making pages and artefacts. The use of English is traced from illicit additions made to Latin texts, to its more general, every day use, and spread to more ephemeral formats.
The exhibition features incredible early manuscripts held in the Bodleian collections, one of the largest medieval collections in the UK, alongside loan items from the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the British Museum.
Highlights of Designing English include:
• The Macregol Gospels, one of the treasures of the Bodleian Libraries, dating from Ireland in around 800 CE, with English translations added to the original Latin text.
The Macregol Gospel. In the beginning was the word' – A late-eighth-century or early-ninth-century Latin Gospel, painted in Ireland by Macregol, perhaps abbot of Birr, County Offaly (d. 822), and glossed in the tenth century in English by two scribes. English translations were added to the original Latin text by medieval scholars. © Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford
• English translations of hymns composed by Caedmon (657-680), an illiterate cowherd who lived at Whitby Abbey and is the first named English poet.
• The Alfred Jewel, an ornate enamel and gold jewel on loan from the Ashmolean Museum that contains the inscription 'Alfred ordered me to be made'. The jewel is widely believed to have been commissioned by King Alfred the Great (849-899 BCE), who championed the use of English.
The Alfred Jewel. This beautiful jewel from Alfred's era seems to be the handle of an aester, which is believed to be a pointer used when reading manuscripts. Written round the side in gold capitals is 'AELFRED MEC HEHT GEVVYRCAN'. 'Alfred had me made' – but did he design it? © Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford
• Gravestones and other medieval objects engraved with English text, including an Anglo-Saxon sword and a gold ring found at Godstow Abbey, Oxford.
Gold ring found at Godstow Priory, Oxford. 'Most in mind and in mine heart, loathest from you far to depart'. Who was meant to see these words? They're inside the hoop of this gold ring, tiny and hidden from most eyes. That secret site suits the intimate rhyme: the words of lovers forced to part? Less suitable is the place where the ring was found by later antiquaries: in the grounds of a former nunnery, Godstow Priory near Oxford. Are these hidden words from a nun's secret lover? British Museum, MME AF 1075. Gold ring, early 1500s; found at Godstow, near Wolvercote, Oxfordshire. © British Museum
• Medical texts such as revolving 'volvelle' diagrams, magical charms and colourful drawings and diagrams for doctors.
• Some of the earliest known works in the English language, including Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and early drama and songs.
The Canterbury Tales. A copy made around the third quarter of the fifteenth century of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (1390s). At the division between The Tale of Sir Thopas and The Tale of Melibee, the initial, border, running head and title help the reader to navigate the text. © Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford.
• Examples of intricate texts with colour coded instructions on how to read them, such as an English translation of the Bible which may have belonged to Henry VI.
King Alfred's Pastoral Care. King Alfred planned a set of useful translations from Latin, like this manual for clergymen. In this copy of Gregory the Great's translated Pastoral Care, sent between 890 and 897 to Wærferth, Bishop of Worcester, the book 'speaks' (bottom left) and tells how Alfred 'sent me to his scribes north and south' with an æstel or pointer. Is the Alfred Jewel the æstel? © Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford
Designing English is curated by Daniel Wakelin, Jeremy Griffiths Professor of Medieval English Palaeography at the University of Oxford, one of the few posts in the world dedicated to the study of medieval English manuscripts.
Professor Wakelin said: 'Medieval writers had to be graphic designers every time they wrote or carved their words. Tracing the earliest uses of English, from illicit annotations on Latin texts, to more everyday jottings in ephemeral formats, this exhibition celebrates the imagination and skill of these early writers. Their craft and inventiveness resonates today when digital media allow users to experiment with design through word processing, social media and customized products."
Richard Ovenden, Bodley's Librarian said: 'The Bodleian Libraries holds one of the most important collections of medieval manuscripts in the world, and this exhibition celebrates all aspects of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into some of the most beautiful, and everyday items that still survive today. The exhibition provides an intriguing and surprising history of English literature in one room".
Designing English: Graphics on the Medieval Page is at the Bodleian Library from December 1 2017 – April 22 2018

Gift Bag Card
Happy Saturday to you! I realized I hadn't shared this project with you. We created this at stamp club in June ( I think). I was inspired by a little give bag that I saw on the Inking Idaho blog and thought it would be cute on the front of a card. It's the perfect size to tuck in a gift card so some of the kids teachers received this as their year end gift.
To create this 'gift bag' simply cut a 4"x3-1/8". Score at 1/4" and 1/2" on the two long sides and one short side. Trim the corners like you would when you create a box and then fold and assemble using sticky strip. The sticky strip serves two purposes - it holds the box together but also holds in onto the card front.
: decorate the front of the gift bag prior to assembling it or attaching it to the card. It's just easier to decorate flat.
If you are interested in doing projects like this once a month,
let me know
, I will be starting another round of stamp club in September and I'd love to have you join us!
I hope you enjoyed todays' project, thanks for stopping by!

A pre-fab, portable solar power solution; peak energy load predicting software; and inverter/charger grid balancing technology for network operators. These are just three of a range of home-grown, new clean technologies to make the shortlist for this years Australian Technologies Competition (ATC), announced on Monday.
The ATC15, now in its fifth year, aims to help mentor and develop Australias best start-up companies that are focused on improving industry efficiency, resource use and competitiveness and to help them commercialise their technology.
As predicted, this years semi-finalists 30 of them, selected from 128 entries reflect an increasing focus on grid- and home-based energy management systems, as well as data analysis, to help networks to manage the growing amount of renewable energy being added to Australian rooftops and to the National Electricity Market.
One such example is Metro Powers E2M product a smart grid analytics platform for large grid network operators that predicts future rolling peak electricity loads across a grid, 96 hours ahead of time.
According to the ATC, this years 128 entries have already jointly spent $225 million on developing their technologies and have 440 employees.
As well as financial backing, the contests winners gain access to highly subsidised design software through the Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program, as well as mentorship.
Winning entrants from past years have included the lighting and energy efficiency technology from BluGlass Limited, and solar and wind technology from Raygen Resources. These two Australian companies, along with two others, also went on to be named in the Global Cleantech Cluster Association (GCCA) 2014 Later Stage Awards Global Top 30.
This years Semi Finalists includes NSW-based 5B Australia, for its prefabricated, portable, modular solar PV power system for use where energy needs are changeable, short-term or over multiple sites; Queenslands Renewable Energy Solutions Australia (RESA) for its VoltLogic inverter/charger technology that can be used for power factor correction and phase balancing in grid networks, where renewables capacity is being added; and a retrofittable hybrid heating, ventilating, and air conditioning unit that delivers an average a 30-40 per cent energy reduction on costs compared to conventional HVAC units, from Victorian company Independent Products.
There is also CloudCAM, by NSW company Fulcrum3D an advanced, ground-based sky imaging system that identifies, categorizes, tracks and predicts cloud movement and shadow for solar power stations; and a product that reduces network, customer and generation peaks to provide energy optimisation and demand management, by Victoria-based company, GreenSync.
The quality of entries has again taken a step up, said competition organiser John OBrien in a statement on Monday.
We are thrilled to see so many amazing companies with their eyes firmly set on global markets. We receive incredible feedback on the value of this program and it is always a privilege to work with so many talented entrepreneurs.
OBrien, who earlier this year outlined 14 wild predictions for Australian cleantech in 2015, said Australia had some world leading technology companies that needed support to be able to reach their full potential. Without this support, he said, these companies may fail or relocate their activities to more supportive jurisdictions.
A government that sets itself against encouraging companies that develop these efficiency solutions is confining the country to be an importer only, he said.

CY // Headshots
I needed a picture under quick turnaround, and since I'm awkward in front of the camera and the picture would be used on a website, I was just afraid something was going to go wrong and I would have to deal with it. Nothing went wrong, and Anya dealt with my awkwardness and got some great pictures anyway.
chanel // portraits
I get really nervous around people but Anya always made me feel so comfortable! She gave me great directions and let me see them as we shot so I knew how I was doing.
Anya is very professional and great with kids... She absolutely accomplished even above what I was expecting! I may not allow anyone else to take my family pictures after this!
sabrina // portraits
Anya has a way of making the photoshoot feel like you are just hanging out with a friend, which put me at ease and made the experience fun. All the while, she was making photo magic with the skill of an artist.
She captured exactly what I was going for. It was like she knew what was in my mind. She is an amazing hard working photographer. Professional and hardworking and reliable.
Anya is the best and has such a good vibe! She is also extremely professional and she is such a natural at capturing organic moments!
Carlos // Portraits
Anya listened to my requests and had such great energy! She takes extremely good, high quality, professional photos. She is so skilled!
Judy // Baby Naming Ceremony
Anya captured some wonderful moments from the day, which will allow us to relive it and remember much of what was so wonderful. The photos themselves are beautiful, and capture some great moments. Highly recommended!
Anya is extremely friendly and it's very easy to feel comfortable around her while she's shooting, but she's also super detailed and meticulous and takes her craft and services very seriously.

Reasons for a false-positive match
A false positive match is a sentence that was underlined in your report (a match) that is original content, that was erroneously labelled as a match. A false-positive match may occur for one of the following reasons.
1. Your text happens to be similar to another sentence by chance
It is possible that the text you wrote just happens to be similar to text elsewhere, so the sentence was marked as a match. If you searched with DeepSearch™ turned on, then the minimum similarity score to be labelled as a match is 75%.
2. You re-worded a piece of text, and we found the original source text
If you took a sentence from a source and changed some words around, Quetext is capable of finding the original source depending on how much the sentence was changed. DeepSearch™ will consider a match to be a piece of text at least 75% similar to your text.

Imagine you are applying to a Cape Verdean university —
You begin the process with an entrance exam. If you fail the exam, you are still admitted to the university. This does not mean you are ready or prepared for the workload; it merely means that the university is desperate for students and money. You hear through the grapevine that classes are starting around October 4. You arrive at school and discover that professors are still on vacation. You travel back and forth to the university, even if you live on the other side of the island, because it is imperative to know when classes are actually beginning. You find out, two days ahead of time, that class schedules are posted in the university lobby. No information is posted online and informational emails are nonexistent. When you arrive to see your schedule, you discover that although classes were supposed to start October 18, they are actually beginning tomorrow. You were also told that you had classes in the morning and now all your classes are in the afternoon. You must ask your boss to revise your work schedule, again. After all, if you attend the university you are not supposed to have an outside job — only full-time students are admitted. You talk to your professors and they are still unsure of what they will be teaching, even though classes begin tomorrow. No one knows exactly where your classes will take place because construction is still in progress on many of the classrooms and faculty offices. And, some classes that you registered for have no professor. You show up on the first day of class, hoping someone knows something…
Although this is a hypothetical situation, many prospective students confront these challenges daily. When I think back to my freshman year of college, I am greeted with images of orientation, friendly faces to help along the way, as well as numerous papers and informational emails– a stark contrast to the Cape Verdean university experience.

Book One: The Keys of Destiny is Finished
The first book in the Five Kingdoms of Severi's trilogy has finally come to a conclusion with four episodes comprising season 4, 300 pages, 93,749 words, and twenty-one months since the very first word was written. I am currently wrapping up the outline for book two season 1 and super excited to dive into all the wonderful extras this book will have once it is published in print and digital format.
In the meantime here is another excerpt of its last season and don't forget that you can read the entire series online over at BigWorldNetwork for FREE!
Excerpt (Season 4 Episode 2)
A swirl of gold formed above one of the towers, and Eudora commanded her white mare to halt. Her gaze sought the four oracles standing below the magical orb. She saw the tower start to shake, pieces of fallen debris mingling with dust transforming into water. A large sea monster circled around the tower, its fish-like tail digging into the tower's structure.
The creature let out a screech. One by one the oracles tumbled to the ground with blood spewing from their lips but the creature did not falter; it continued to grow in size. The Cetus had been summoned and with it the death of her comrades would soon follow. Eudora commanded her magic to rise.
A flash of lightning struck the creature and it vanished, sheets of water splashing in every direction. Golden dust seeped back into the oracles' skin and Eudora let a sign of relief escape her lips when Toren staggered to her feet. She let her eyes linger on her Queen for a moment longer and broke her gaze at the sight of Toren leaning on the tower's wall.
Eudora had not forsaken them; she could feel the oracles's magic returning.
From her position on the hill she let her friends know of her presence. Eudora whispered, "It is not time for us to die, not yet my sisters," her eyes centered on one of the sections of the wall of the King's Hold. She urged the air to carry her message to her friends and directed her magic towards the invading army. She signaled for Tobias's men to charge.
The men clashed into the unsuspecting horde, creating a path for her. She forced her stallion into a deadly gallop down the hill. She tore through the clearing, a spell at the tip of her lips. Her eyes flashed golden and the ground shook and cracked near the castle walls. A smile reached Eudora's lips.
She tugged her horse away from the collapsed earth before her single-minded mare caused them to dive into the pit she had created. She watched in satisfaction at the sight of Lucius's men falling to their deaths. The crevice expanded and swallowed the giants that still remained near the wall.
Magic swirled around her as her comrades joined the fight. A swarm of ravens joined by a golden hawk tore through the hordes of goblins and black clad men. Tree roots sprang from the dirt to pin unsuspecting prey in their grasp. Eudora caused the ground to open again taking with it a few more of their attackers. The numbers failed to diminish no matter how many she overtook. More men ran out of the trees to join their fallen comrades but, before they could reach the ranks, the ground shook, threatening to drive friend and foe to the ground.

The New York Times reports that the popular Discovery Channel program "Mythbusters" may very well be the best science show on television. Perhaps one reason for this is that it doesn't claim to be a science program at all. Rather, the show is best known for explosions, general mayhem, and setting things on fire. However, through its goofy style, it does these things for science's sake. The program investigates the validity of various myths drawn from folklore, movies, urban legends, and the internet. The two stars of the show, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage develop ways to challenge these hypotheses and build experiments with a small crew. While decidedly wacky, the show employs thinking and methodology grounded in the scientific method. Savage and Hyneman come up with a hypothesis and test it methodically, and after the experiment, the can deem a myth "busted," "confirmed," or even "plausible"–which means a myth hasn't been ruled out, but it isn't very likely. This is the type of logic that scientists understand, while others can have a difficult time grasping it. Fans of the show believe it is a great way to teach and demonstrate the process of scientific discovery…
