As usual, I used my Copics to colour this image – using my BG11/BG13/BG15 cmbination as the base. I actually use this combination more often to outline images, so this was a fun challenge for me. I added in a bit of the lilac colour (BV000/BV01/BV02) over top to give that illusion of transparency while still keeping the colours really saturated. if you like colouring hair on other stamps, you will love tackling the appendages on this cutie too!
I teamed up the image with a pretty set of paper from Doodlebug called Sugar Shoppe. I used this paper as an inspiration for my oldest daughter's birthday this summer so I will have more to show you with this one soon. It's a great combination of colours (as Doodlebug does so well) and pretty patterns. At the same time, it is very versatile – not sure it was meant to be used for an underwater themed project, but I think it works great!
Well, that's it for me today! Have a great Friday and thanks for stopping by!

Key Legislature: Wizards 91 vs Clippers 108 — Dazed and Confused in DC
TAI's Key Legislature… The game's defining moment, its critical event, the wildest basketball thing you ever saw, or just stuff that happened. Wizards vs. Clippers, Regular Season Game 29, Dec. 28, 2015, by Adam Rubin (@LedellsPlace) from the Verizon Center, D.C.

The clock struck midnight on Washington's storybook four-game winning streak and the team turned once again into a sub-.500 pumpkin. The deciding moment of this game occurred long before the opening tip—way back in the Los Angeles Clippers pre-game coaches meeting. That's where Doc Rivers, most likely aided by long-time Wizards assistant coach Sam Cassell, devised a perfect antidote to the Wizards' recent success.
Doc Rivers' game plan was simple but effective: (i) keep all five defenders in front of John Wall at all times; (ii) switch every pick; and (iii) keep DeAndre near the rim. Rivers was especially intent on neutralizing the Wall-Marcin Gortat pick-and-roll that fueled the past four Wizards wins and helped earn Gortat Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors.
Every time Gortat approached Wall on the perimeter to set a pick, DeAndre Jordan backed away and hovered in the lane. With DeAndre clogging the paint, Gortat could not dive to the rim for easy layups, and Wall was forced to either shoot a jumper or pass back out to the perimeter.

Rivers was not content with simply stopping Wall's penetration off Gortat's picks. The Clippers switched on every screen, which made it difficult for Wall to find any daylight to drive to the rim and create open looks for teammates. And when Wall did have a clear path to the paint, DeAndre was waiting for him.

The result was an atrocious start to the game, highlighted by turnovers and missed jumpers.
Wall missed 2 18-footers, 1 10-footer & turned the ball over 2x in 1st 6 minutes, while CP3 got surgical. So, yea. https://t.co/YXEBTpcl8w

"They did a great job confusing us," Jared Dudley said afterward. "They put Mbah a Moute on me. They switched all screen and rolls, and having DJ back there anchoring really was an adjustment for us. They jumped on us early, kind of put us on our heels. And we didn't do a good job adjusting."
Los Angeles built a 15-point lead in the first seven minutes and Washington never recovered. Wall seemed frustrated by the lack of driving lanes throughout the game (he remarked on his way out of the locker room that DeAndre was sitting in the lane all night), and he kept trying to jump-shoot the Wizards back into it. For a moment early in the third quarter it seemed like it might work, as the Wizards scored nine quick points in under two minutes to cut the deficit from 19 to 10, but the Clippers responded with back-to-back 3-pointers and the game was never in doubt the rest of the way.
The good news, if there is any, is that the Clippers' strategy is not a silver bullet that all future opponents can emulate. Dudley pointed out that it's a lot easier to go small and switch every screen when you have someone like NBA All-Defensive First Teamer DeAndre Jordan patrolling the paint. The Wizards also will be better prepared the next time it happens. "We just didn't do a great job of moving the ball and didn't do a good of setting good screens," Wall said.
The bad news, though, is that the game was not lost solely on the offensive end. As John Wall admitted after the game, it would not have mattered how many points Washington scored because the Clippers would just keep scoring themselves. Wall put it bluntly: "We didn't play defense at all. … We never gave ourselves an opportunity to be in this game. Point blank. Period."
If Kelly Oubre didn't foul Chris Paul, this would've been a clean dunk https://t.co/J5grfCuEVr
— Albert L. (@aleeinthedmv) December 29, 2015
It was not all doom and gloom in the Wizards post-game locker room, though. "Disappointed. I think we all should be disappointed," Dudley said. "But guys are still upbeat in the sense that we are on the right path. We faced a good team that outplayed us. … Guys are in good spirits where we are at and we know that defensively we have to take the next step if we want to be in the playoffs."
'I Called Game' Returns.
Cheers, but not as loud as I expected, for Pierce. He deserves standing O. #WizClippers https://t.co/mmDBOXG56g
— Ledell's Place (@LedellsPlace) December 29, 2015
Not since Earl Boykins has a one-year player so captured the imagination of Washington fans. Paul Pierce will forever hold a special place in the hearts and minds of Wizards faithful and the feeling appears to be mutual. The media scrum for Pierce before the game was so large that he decided to move into the hallway where the head coach makes his pre-game remarks, instead of the cramped visiting locker room, to address the crowd.
Pierce talked positively about his time in D.C.: "This was one of my funnest years. Even though it was one year, I had a lot of fun being around these guys. They welcomed me with open arms. I embraced the city. They embraced me back."
He also explained that his decision to return to his hometown of Los Angeles was mostly a family decision, although the lure of reuniting with Doc Rivers for a title run did not hurt. Pierce said he "thought" the Clippers had a chance to win a championship and some wondered whether his use of past tense signaled a change in his current opinion of Los Angeles' title hopes.
Pierce also revealed that he is good friends with a lot of players on the Wizards ("we chat on the text"), and he still thinks Washington can make waves in the East. "I think once they get healthy you're going to have to look out for them," he said.
Since Pierce said he still follows the team; I asked how he thinks Otto Porter is playing and whether he thinks Otto could use another punch to get him going. "I'm really happy with his progress. This is his first year getting extended minutes. It's about consistency. If he can just continue to put in the work and be consistent … the Otto Porter they need is the Otto Porter we had in the playoffs last year," Pierce said. I think everyone can agree with that bit of The Truth.
As Pierce walked away from the media scrum, one reporter informed him that Marcin Gortat claims to have regularly beaten Pierce one-on-one. Paul was incredulous: "No way. No way. I hope I get a switch on him tonight. I'll show you what I used to do to him."
Pierce never got the chance to embarrass Gortat, but he did find himself isolated on defense against his former teammate John Wall. It did not go well, as the video below attests. Wall and Pierce shared a smile on the court and Wall added post-game, "He knew it was coming. It was just funny. He couldn't move."

— Washington Wizards (@WashWizards) December 29, 2015
Pierce played 17 minutes as a starter against his old team, scoring nine points on 4-for-7 shooting. His low minutes were a function of the lopsided score and, to hear his coach explain it, his old age. "He had to remind me of that [monitoring his minutes] the other night. I was messing with him I think in the first half and he did like this twice [pointing to his chest] and I was like, 'You haven't been playing all year.' He says, 'I'm 38.' I said, 'Oh, OK, I forgot.' I guess I do have to monitor his minutes."
Before Pierce exited the visitor's locker room after the game, he was asked to compare John Wall and Chris Paul. What followed was a very Paul Pierce-like answer.
"I've had a tremendous opportunity to play with some great point guards, and it's hard to distinguish one from the other. I've gone from [Rajon] Rondo, to John Wall, to Chris [Paul]. Every point guard I play with, I'm like, 'He's the best point guard in the league.' I don't know if it's the Paul Pierce effect, though."

If you think you might be at a saturation point with Tom Cruise, just wait. That is the assessment of a number of media analysts in the wake of the recent announcement that Cruise and his wife of five years, actress Katie Holmes, are getting a divorce.
"Over the next two to three weeks, every talk show host will use this as a joke line -- every night, drip, drip, drip, over and over and over," says one Hollywood public relations pundit.
That indeed seems likely, given Cruise's huge international fame and two previous divorces. The fact that Holmes filed for divorce and seeks sole child custody of the couple's young daughter , Suri, also has many people suggesting that Homes is worried that Suri is being overly indoctrinated into the Scientology church, in which Cruise is prominent.
"The fact that she asked for the sole legal and primary physical custody, that could be nasty," says one judge.
And then, of course, one central question comes immediately to mind for many people who know something about high-asset divorce and property division: Is there a prenuptial agreement?
Most commentators weighing in heavily assume that there is
"I think we can reasonably assume he had a pre-nup," says one. "Tom Cruise is not that crazy."
Holmes filed for divorce in New York, where the couple has a home. Unlike California and similar to Georgia, New York is an equitable distribution state where, instead of a couple splitting property 50/50, a court will determine what is fair through consideration of many factors.
Despite the media already zeroing in on the story in a huge way, one New York attorney predicts that, "There won't be a battle in the press," owing to likely confidentiality provisions contained in a premarital contract.

Accessibility – Its Impact on The Travel Industry
How Does Making Travel and Tourism Accessible
Impact The Travel Industry
Accessibility – Its Impact on The Travel Industry
Accessibility – Its Impact On The Travel Industry. We believe travel should be accessible for everyone. Furthermore, there should be no separation between Travel and Accessible Travel. As a result, Accessibility – Its Impact on Accessible Travel in particular, are hallmarks of our travel review process
We also focus on increasing sustainable tourism as a means of economic, social, and environmental development. Tourism is a rising tide that raises all boats. And when it is properly managed, it benefits the whole world. If you give a family a fish, they will eat for a day. If you teach a family to fish, they will eat for the rest of their lives, and lift themselves from poverty!
Our Travel Reviews
Sustainable Tourism Includes Accessibility
We promote sustainable tourism as defined by the UNWTO. But sustainability also includes accessibility and the impact it has on accessible travel and tourism. Our CEO is a disabled veteran. As a result, he strongly supports accessibility for all people.
What Is Accessibility
Wikipedia: Accessibility refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people who experience disabilities.
Accessibility Defined by the ADA
The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is a US civil rights law. It is not a building code as some mistakenly believe. This ensures that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate.
This is from the ADA. "Accessible access to physical locations, structures and websites is a legal requirement based on Civil rights laws, not construction laws. Public accommodations are covered under ADA title III. ADA Title III regulations 28 CFR Part 36.304. See also ADA Title III Regulations – Part 36 Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities. (As amended by the final rule published on September 15, 2010)" Italics mine.
Disabled Travelers – A Fast Growing Segment
We Cannot Afford To Be Accessible
Making these changes will cost us too much. We cannot afford it. Why should we have to incur this expense?
I have three things to say about that.
- First, remember that accessibility is the law in all civilized countries. You could pay far more in fines and penalties than the cost of becoming accessible. And even risk criminal prosecution.
- Keep in mind that being proactive with accessibility issues can drastically increase your revenues. Becoming accessible almost always results in net income gains.
- Remember that accessible travel is a potential $300 billion dollar a year business worldwide.
Consider This Example
Here is an example. A mom and pop restaurant said they could not afford to become accessible, or provide an accessible bathroom To do so, they would lose three table places. Grudgingly, they put in four six-person booths. As a result, this took up about the same space as four sets of tables for four people each. Yet, this increased their seating capacity by eight people!
Because they became accessible, as word got out they began to get more and more business from the disabled community. The net result: The cost for becoming accessible $3000. The increase in revenue at $10.00 per person times two (Family/Caretakers); times thirty-five new customers; times four (one visit each quarter) equaled $2800 in accessible customers alone. Plus the extra eight customers gained in seating capacity gave them a huge revenue boost.
Becoming Accessible more than paid for itself in one year. It also created enormous good will in the community. This began to bring in new customers from outside the local community resulting in a doubling of business the first year. As a result, this created the need to expand the business.
Why Promote Accessible Travel and Accessible Tourism?
- First, because it is the right thing to do.
- Second, Disabled Travelers represent a $100b year revenue stream worldwide. And that is just for the disabled travelers. Almost all disabled travelers are accompanied by one, two, or more people. This includes family, friends, or caretakers. That means a potential market of $300 billion dollars a year or more.
We Help Tourism Businesses Increase Revenues
By showing them how becoming fully accessible, we help tourism businesses increase their profits . We do this in three ways:
- First of all, through our effective Travel & Accessibility Reviews
- In addition, through our core business services targeted specifically to the travel community.
- Finally, by encouraging businesses to become advocates for accessibility.
Most of all, we remind businesses that being accessible is not just the right thing to do. It is the law within all civilized nations! Accessibility Is A Civil Right!
The Accessibility Impact On Accessible Travel
Accessibility – Its Impact on The Travel Industry. Our CEO, was recently reminded how frustrating it can be to not have accessible options. His two best friends visited him from Germany. They drove two and a half hours to get to a famous beach. When they arrived, he was only able to get within one hundred yards of the beach. But then, he could not go any further because the boardwalks were cut short at every entrance.
He insisted that his friends enjoy the beach, while he sat 100 yards away unable to do so. Wheelchairs and electric scooters cannot go through the soft sand! This is why we need your support. We must all do our part to promote accessible tourism. Accessible travel should be promoted in all Travel sectors. Let's promote Accessible Tourism for everyone, everywhere.
Web Accessibility
Accessibility – Its Impact on The Travel Industry. When we talk about accessibility, or people with disabilities, we usually think of people in wheelchairs. That is far from the reality most people with disabilities experience. Each disabled person, including those with invisible disabilities, face issues the non-disabled cannot truly comprehend. Here is a test. Blindfold yourself. Now go to the store, wash your car, play baseball, walk across the street to talk to your neighbor. See what I mean?
People who are blind or vision impaired are travelers too. So how do they book their flights? And do research online for the places they want to visit, and so forth? That is where web accessibility comes in. Web accessibility is about making the web available to everyone. Screen readers, braille keyboards and text to speech are all systems that help the blind and visually impaired to use the web like everyone else.
Accessibility – Its Impact on The Travel Industry begins with your publicly accessible website listing your services. Your web designer should be thoroughly familiar with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0
Web Accessibility Resources For The USA
A Guide to Disability Rights Laws Publications: Architectural Accessibility
Frequently Asked Questions: ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities
Is Your Site ADA-Compliant … or a Lawsuit-in-Waiting?
Lawsuits Mount Over Website Accessibility – Epstein Becker & Green
ITR Does Web Accessibility Reviews
One of the optional services we provide is testing a business' website to determine its level of accessibility. As a result, this is another area where we can help tourism related companies increase their revenues. Since those with accessibility issues cannot read your website on their own, you are losing potential customers. And again, it isn't just the right thing to do, it is the law.
Accessibility – Its Impact on The Travel Industry. We want travelers to have a ready source of valid, uncompromising information about travel/tourism sites and websites. Most of all, we want to give tourism related businesses the exposure that will allow them to claim their slice of the entire tourism pie.
How To Become Legally Accessible
Becoming legally accessible is simple. Hire ITR For A Travel and Accessibility Review. ITR helps tourism businesses to capitalize on this significant, and rapidly growing, sector .
Accessible Travel and Web Accessibility – Is a Win-Win for Everyone!

In the past few years I started not enjoying Christmas as I used to. The energy consumption increases in many countries, and it isn't just due to the winter, in the case of the Northern countries, but due to the lights and other "Christmas" devices which you can find pretty much everywhere, consuming the planet's natural resources as if they were unlimited. Shouldn't we be more concerned about the consumption of these resources? What are we decorating? Or are we covering?
The energy consumed is not only the Christmas "lights" used to decorate the houses and cities, but also the one used to make all the goodies produced specifically for this time of the year, like decorations, or wrapping paper, which will be discarded straight after the gifts are opened. Disposable, this should be the name of the transition era that we are experiencing: DISPOSABLE, in which almost nothing is repaired, but discarded and replaced.
I am not sure if it's because I'm in London this Christmas, but I have never been more sensitive in December. What I observe around me is shopping, shopping and shopping; so I recall my previous post: What's wrong with us? Increasing energy consumption, just when we were warned to decrease it dramatically and immediately!? I'm also impressed with the amount of fresh trees that people buy, I am aware that the plastic tree is not sustainable if used for less than 20 years, but millions of "Christmas Trees" were produced and chopped only in England, to decorate homes for an average of 20 days !? Shouldn't Christmas be a celebration of love? Where is the love with our beautiful planet at this time? What about the compassion with the less fortunate ones?
At Christmas time the charity projects do raise more funds, but how much does a person donates in proportion to what they spend on Christmas gifts / goods? Think about it! Do we need all these gifts or do we want? I'm not excluding myself from all this reflection, however I do try to walk my talk. It is a constant fight with myself and the system, trying to think about the local and global effects of my choices.
Anyway, this post was a way of expressing in words my feelings about the impact of Christmas on me and more than that on the Planet! Being away from my home and family, I have more time to think, and the more I study and look at the facts, the more I realize that capitalism makes no sense and makes us prisoners. While this system continues, the world will not change for better.
Do you NEED or do you WANT?
Christmas was originally the celebration of the birth of "God Sun" Winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere). In fact, in different cultures there are myths about the birth of several entities, on 25 December. More information can be found on the internet or in the controversial movie Zeitgeist the movie.
May East ponders a Christmas which doesn't make money, but celebrates cultural, spiritual and ecological diversity: http://tinyurl.com/qhgmkfz

Those taking the low-cost medication could be 27 per cent more likely to develop the condition, which leads to cloudy lenses, the researchers discovered.
Older people are particularly vulnerable as they make up the majority of statin users and cataract patients, the Daily Mail reported.
The medical records of more than 14,000 people, covering a period of more than eight years, were examined by researchers in the US.
Half of the patients had used statins for at least three months and the other half had never taken the drug.
Those who took statins had a 27 per cent increased risk of developing cataracts, which require surgery to prevent blindness, even when other factor such as high blood pressure were accounted for.
The researchers believe that one explanation could be that cholesterol is necessary to maintain healthy cells in the eye and the transparency of the lens.
The authors of the study, published in journal JAMA Ophthalmology, concluded: "The risk for cataract is increased among statin users as compared with non-users. The risk-benefit ratio of statin use, specifically for primary prevention, should be carefully weighed, and further studies are warranted."
Statins are one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the UK, taken by more than eight million Britons.
They are currently prescribed to patients with at least a 20 per cent risk of having a heart attack or stroke within ten years.
A team from Oxford University concluded that the benefits of statins outweigh the side effects after they found they cut by at least a third the risk of heart attacks, strokes and operations to unblock arteries.
All patients in the trials, which involved 175,000 people, had a positive reaction to the drug and even healthy people given statins had lower overall death rates than those who were given a placebo.
The findings have even led to calls for statins to be prescribed to everyone over the age of 50, but the latest research casts doubt on the recommendation.
Earlier research on the link between the drugs and cataracts has provided mixed results.
Around one in three people over 65 develop cataracts, and 341,000 operations were carried out last year on the NHS.
As well as cataracts, statins have been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, constipation, diarrhoea, headaches, loss of appetite and loss of sensation or pain in the nerve endings of the hands and feet.
The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Products Agency has warned about the risk of sleep disturbances, memory loss, sexual dysfunction, depression and certain lung diseases.

Aliens and Rubber Thingies
We are having quite a mystery at our house lately. A few weeks ago I found this rubber thingie — we're researching the technical term — in our backyard near the porch. I showed it to Ron, who didn't know what it was either, so we just assumed it was some weird trash that ended up in our yard for whatever reason. No big deal.
Then last week, another one of these rubber thingies shows up — on our front porch roof! Okay, now it's become a bit odd. We still don't know what these rubber thingies are, and we're wondering how one ended up on the roof.
And now, just yesterday, we find yet another rubber thingie, this time on the main roof.
Click on photos for a larger view. The pencil is shown for scale.
Rubber thingie on our front porch roof.
We've now entered bizarre world.
Are neighbor kids going around and tossing these things on our roof? If so, why? Okay, kids don't really need a why, but still, why?
Are airplanes losing pieces as they fly over our house? Seems unlikely that they would all end up on and around our house, though, and no one else's.
Are aliens landing on our house for weird midnight abductions, but we're too drugged to recall any of it in the morning? Could this possibly be related to my laryngitis that has now lasted for six weeks and seems impervious to all medical attention so far? Hmmm.
So anyway, if anyone knows what these rubber thingies are, please let me know!

International receiver Jeremy Kelley is the fourth Saskatchewan Roughrider to retire during the off-season.
Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Jeremy Kelley retires due to medical situation
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have lost another player to an off-season retirement.
International wide receiver Jeremy Kelley has informed the Riders that he won't be able to attend training camp due to an undisclosed medical issue. The Riders announced Tuesday that Kelley has been placed on the CFL's retired list.
Kelley is the fourth Rider to retire this off-season. International receiver Maurice Price, who was acquired from the Ottawa Redblacks via a trade on Jan. 11, retired on April 21. The Riders picked up Price and Ottawa's sixth-round selection (52nd overall) in Tuesday's CFL draft for their sixth-round (45th overall) and seventh-round (54th) picks.
Bruce Campbell, an international offensive tackle whom the Riders picked up Feb. 10 through a trade with the Toronto Argonauts, announced his retirement May 3. The Riders traded a fourth-round selection (27th overall) in Tuesday's draft and a negotiation-list player to the Argonauts for Campbell. Price and Campbell retired without playing a game for the Riders.
Also on May 3, veteran defensive tackle Tearrius George announced his retirement after spending five of his eight CFL seasons with the Riders. George's retirement announcement was followed by a Regina Police Service media release that indicated he was being charged with a domestic-related assault that allegedly occurred on April 28. George is to appear in Regina Provincial Court on Thursday.
Kelley joined the Riders after spending portions of the previous three seasons in the NFL. In 2015, Kelley attended training camp with the Chicago Bears and dressed for two pre-season games.
The 6-foot-6 Kelley was expected to contribute to the Riders' passing attack in 2016. He was among the 100-plus players who took part in the Riders' mini-camp in Vero Beach, Fla. in early April.
"I'm disappointed to have had made this decision, especially only weeks before training camp," Kelley, 27, said in a prepared statement. "I am concerned about my health due to a non-football-related medical situation that has surfaced. I believe it is in my best interest to discontinue playing at this time."
Kelley added that he appreciated the opportunity provided by the Riders' organization. He also wished the Riders success in the 2016 season.
"It's always difficult to lose a player with the potential that Jeremy Kelley has," said Chris Jones, the Riders' general manager and head coach. "He is a young man with lots of opportunities ahead of him and what is most important is his health."
Kelley's retirement leaves the Riders with eight international receivers on their active roster. Ryan Lankford and Naaman Roosevelt are the holdovers from the 2015 season. The other receivers are John Chiles, Marcus Davis, Armanti Edwards, Shay Hodge, Kendial Lawrence and Etauj Allen.
