Welcome to the Stampin' Addicts 2016-2017 New Catalog Blog Hop! I hope you'll enjoy our little hop through our own personal favorites in the new Stampin' Up! Catalog.
Should you get lost or want to chat about the hop, here is a link to the chat thread on the Stampin' Addicts website: Chat Thread
I chose the Shooting Star Bundle because I love to make motion cards. This bundle has an array of cute stamps with matching framelits for convenience as well as the round and curved slot motion pieces. (Image directly below is from and by Stampin' Up!)
This card needs a bit of an explanation...It is for my cousin and her husband who have been missionaries in Cameroon, Africa for the last 24 years. In the next year or so, they will transition to Togo, Africa, so I thought the Spread the Love sentiment from last year's Ronald McDonald House Set, Sprinkles of Life, made a perfect card to give to her. I punched the sentiment using the Classic Label punch. Then, I put a rhinestone bling on Togo for fun. The heart is the second smallest from the new Sweet & Sassy Heart Framelits, and I used the Happy Heart Embossing folder to complete the theme.
Finally, I made this card using the other spinner/slider option which I learned (from Stampin' Up!) works best as a rainbow rather than a smiley. We don't want the slider image to get stuck in the bottom of the depression. :) I used Basic Black, Whisper White and Crushed Curry Cardstock as well as the Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Crushed Curry Markers. The Lucky Stars embossing folder was my background, and I added Gold Wink of Stella to each star on the card--both on the black and on the slider image piece.
Sparkly as it was, it was missing something, so I added three of the gold stars from the Metallic Enamel Shapes, and for the sentiment I used the Duet Banner Punch. I slide the sentiment to the left rather than punching right in the middle and used the "negative" to make the basis of the point on the right side of the sentiment. I had to trim just a bit too though.
Now, it is time to continue to Sara's Lily's Ink Pad blog to see the Always an Adventure Bundle in action. I LOVE that diorama card!


text: I really must hand it to Apple for providing me with such high quality MacBooks. I'm on my third now. It still whines, and it still has a flickering screen. Unfortunately, I'm not too sure if I can return it. It was ordered November 8th, so it's not like I'm within my two week period. Thank you Apple. Like I've said so many times before, I really, really, doubt that there's such a thing as a non-whining MacBook. Either you don't know what it sounds like, or your hearing ain't that good (or maybe you just deny it?). I still haven't heard a MacBook without it anyway. What can I say? I'm really disappointed. This is the price I have to pay for wanting OS X? I'm going to contact Apple tomorrow and see what can be done about this. I hope I can somehow get my money back.

Favoring Brave's booth at a recent show in Tulsa.
Hi friends!
I think it's horribly obnoxious how companies think it's a good idea to do every contest by voting now, but it is what it is. I am writing you today to ask a favor - to vote for me in a competition to win a free booth space for my business, Favoring Brave, at a huge show in the hometown, Tulsa, Ok.
Here is the link to vote on Facebook - make sure you're logged in to vote. Just two clicks!
A little bit about what this means - I currently work full time as an artist, but that is becoming harder and harder to do. It looks like I might have to go back to work if I don't find some more avenues to share my work with potential buyers. This show could save the full time status of my business, as I would be able to be a vendor at this show 4 times a year after having been accepted this once through winning. Someone virtually has to die to make space in this show and this is my ONE shot!
Please vote. It take one click on the link and one click on my entry - Favoring Brave by Jill Simons. Also, please consider sharing this with YOUR friends. Together, we can make this happen.

Murray, seeded fourth, broke in game eight and saved several break-points in the next as he took the opening set.
His serve came under pressure from unseeded Croat Ancic, a former world number seven, at the start of the second and he dropped it in game four.
But Murray hit back with breaks in games five and seven as he triumphed.
Victory came in 104 minutes, providing his second ATP title of 2008 and fifth overall.
It was just the response that the 20-year-old Scot needed in his first event after controversially missing Britain's Davis Cup tie against Argentina to protect his knee.
"I served well throughout and returned really well in the second set," Murray said.
"He started getting a bit tired in that second set and that was probably the key to the match.
"Being in the top 10 is one of my goals. I'll try to stay there the whole year."
Murray began with more of the fine returning which had swept him to the final in France, although Ancic did not let him have things all his own way.
The first set was tight until a superb forehand winner in the eighth game and the fifth of his 11 aces in the match put the Briton in the driving seat.
Ancic, who is ranked 135 after missing most of last year with glandular fever, showed signs of returning to his best on Saturday when he demolished Marcos Baghdatis in the semi-finals.
And as Murray's first-serve percentage dipped dramatically at the start of the second set, the 23-year-old pounced to take the initiative.
It merely provoked the Dunblane star into stepping up a gear and successive breaks were followed by some improved serving to set up a match point in the ninth game.
Ancic survived that with a dropshot but Murray served out to add to his success at the Qatar Open at the start of the year.
What are these?

IAMTHETREND: Building a Brand/Sandwich!
Written by Biggie on April 1, 2014
When I initially set out to start my brand I did all the research I could. I got as much inside information as I could from books, blogs, brands, and websites. One of the websites I stumbled upon was IAmTheTrend.com.
IAmTheTrend is an online magazine that finds the newest and coolest indie clothing companies, artists, bands, and products, and delivers it to you daily.
I liked IAmTheTrend because it provided articles and resources from other brands. It also introduced me to new brands. The website had a section with a T-shirt video review section. The website took a hiatus, however it's back and up and running thanks to Nick from Threadbird. I was recently asked to write a post for IAmTheTrend.com about branding. This is a huge honor and I am so excited to do this, especially since Deli Fresh Threads is so young.

1. How did you realize that there was a need for Blinkfire in the marketplace?
Working for Google, I worked on the Doubleclick products which enabled large media companies to sell advertising on their properties, and allow large brands to find that inventory. After leaving Google I started looking at the sports market and noticed two things were happening. First, sports franchises were becoming digital media companies themselves, producing large amounts of both written and video content to satisfy their existing fans and attract new fans. Second, by distributing this content through social media, they were dis-intermediating the existing sports media companies in many ways because the fans were now coming directly to the leagues, teams, and players for media content on Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Instagram. Sponsors and brands want to buy as much reach as possible, but they need to have metrics for this, so as the money follows the eyeballs to these channels, there seemed to be a great opportunity to better track their sponsorships. At the same time, social media is becoming more and more visual, so we really saw the additional opportunity to provide a better solution than any existing social media analytics solution by tracking the brands people interact with in video and images, in addition to text.
2. What were the most significant challenges you faced on your way to this funding round?
Like any other funding round, it's a matter of finding that lead partner that you want to work with and believes in the founders and the team. That wasn't the biggest challenge as I worked closely to the Foundry Group partners while we were creating FeedBurner, and I've stayed in contact ever since. Getting that critical mass to all come together at the same time was perhaps the challenging part. We were actually oversubscribed from the amount we originally wanted to raise, so it was a bit of a challenge to choose the final investors with whom we wanted to work and we thought would accelerate our progress the most.
Additionally, we used AngelList as a platform to fill out the FG Angels syndicate. In the end, it worked great, but it was a wild ride as you can see the sausage being made in how the investments get backed. You have to set a limit, so there's a lot of backing investors trying to get a bigger piece, some dropping out, others trying to go around the syndicate fund, and other interesting things that happen in real time while the fund gets filled to your limit.

3. Now that you have the money, where do you plan to go from here in the next year or so?
Our mission is to be in the middle of every digital transaction that happens between the brands and publishers (teams, leagues, players in our case). We think we can use computer vision to tie together online and offline campaigns in a way that fills out all 360° of the circle in the way these publishers sell to their sponsors. So we're going to do that.
But to me, the most critical part of building a startup is building the right team. It's about finding people who are really passionate about something that's going to drive you on the right vector toward success. For us, that might be a person who's really passionate about sports, but it also might be an engineer who is super passionate about design, or databases, or pattern matching algorithms. So I'm aggressively putting together that team.
4. Is there anything else you'd like to say to the Chicago tech startup sphere?
Chicago is a great place to build a startup. There's a lot of talent here, and people are generally hard-working. But I think the way the Chicago startup tech scene gets stronger is by having entrepreneurs spend time out of Chicago as well. The reality is, your publication and few others notwithstanding, the national tech press doesn't focus as much on Chicago as it does on San Francisco and New York. So you need to get out there and participate on the coasts in events and networking. I talk to a lot of small companies that think they can sit at their desk here in Chicago and deals will just come to them. I think for some businesses that's possible, but for others, you need to get out of your comfort zone and talk to customers and partners. You have to get out there and make something happen.

{Inspiration} Thank you gifts
At the August I Heart Market in Durban, I spotted these really pretty vinyl stickers on little jars at the Little Mud Hut Designs stall. I was immediately struck with what a cute gift they would make. My mind ran wild with images of buttons, ribbon & lace. These little guys were a gift from Vanessa (who is just the sweetest lady, and the brains behind the Little Mud Hut Designs). I am planning on using these to say thank you to some special friends who have been invaluable to me during the wedding planning.
I also filled them with some pretty pieces I found at Mr Price, but really, you could fill them with anything {even ingredients to make hot chocolate or chocolate chip cookies would look amazing in these jars}. Why not reuse & recycle by visiting your local thrift store (my favourite is the Hospice and SPCA shops right here in Pietermaritzburg) and get crafty with all the different sizes and shapes of glass bottles there.

Tickets are $5 general admission; make a reservation by calling 320-222-7605 or at the door.
Claire, played by Kameron Kemerling, has a rare form of psychogenic amnesia that erases her memory whenever she goes to sleep.
This morning, like all mornings, she wakes up a blank slate.
Her husband comes in with a cup of coffee, explains her condition, hands her a book filled with all sorts of essential information, and disappears into the shower.
A limping, lisping, half-blind, half-deaf man in a ski mask, pops out from under her bed and claims to be her brother, there to save her.
Claire's info book is quickly discarded, and she's hustled off to the country house of her mother, a recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to utter gibberish.
Every twist and turn in the plot brings Claire closer to revealing her past life and everything she thought she'd forgotten. It's one "harrowing and hilarious" turn after another on this roller coaster ride through the day of an amnesiac trying to decipher her fractured life.
The rest of the cast members are Gabriel James Ryland, Kayla Vanderpool, Eric Harp, Lindsay Hinkemeyer, Tristian Testa and Jennifer Conness.

Tassos Antonopoulos was born in Greece--Meligalas, Messinia in 1926. His childhood and teenage years coincided with a difficult period for the country. He lived in the difficult years of the Italian and German occupation of Greece, and at the age of 16 he was inducted for service in the struggle for the freedom of his country. In 1955, he, along with so many, many others, took the path of emigration. Today, he lives permanently in the city of Chicago, United States of America.
Tassos Antonopoulos is not a writer and never tried to be crowned with the title of author. He never even sat on a desk of any universities. He finished high school at a time when schools were operating under adverse conditions, at a time when the teachers were unable, due to hunger and other deprivations, to provide students with the proper knowledge, and at a time when schools gave two Finishing Certificates a year. Tassos Antonopoulos, however, has experienced the great university of life, and received society's diploma, which he uses for his supplies to knowledge and as a unique weapon of truth, in order to write his first book, "The Calvary of Meligalas," (2006), which was revised and reissued in 2008.

COPENHAGEN — Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik left the Winter Olympics in South Korea on Friday to rush home because the condition of his father — the French-born husband of Queen Margrethe — has "seriously worsened."
Prince Henrik, 83, was hospitalized Jan. 28 for a lung infection with doctors saying they had found a benign
Crown Prince Frederik, an International Olympic Committee member, left Pyeongchang before the official opening of the Winter Games, according to Denmark's National Olympic Committee.
Margrethe, 77, and her youngest son, Prince Joachim, arrived separately at the Rigshospitalet on Friday, according to Danish media.
Earlier in the day, Frederik's wife, Australian-born Crown Princess Mary, and two of the couple's four children briefly visited Copenhagen's university hospital, where her father-in-law is a patient, Danish media reported.
Hundreds of Danes wrote on the royal household's Facebook page Friday, expressing hopes for the prince's quick recovery and offering warm thoughts to Henrik and his family.
Henrik often voiced his dissatisfaction with not being the queen's equal after she acceded to the throne in 1972, causing a stir in one of the world's oldest monarchies.
Last year, the palace announced Henrik was suffering from dementia.
Under Denmark's Constitution, the royal family has no political power and is barred from involvement in party politics.

Reducing IT Fraud One Person at a Time
April 11, 2014
Recently we had a post on some of the many ways that Long View works to ensure security, both for our corporation and for our clients.
As a follow up to that post, I wanted to now share some of the steps that Long View recommends individuals take in order to reduce instances of IT fraud. We are all invested in preventing online crime, and it starts with the habits and activities of each individual person.
Much of this should be common sense to most by now, but it never hurts to have a refresher of the core basics.
1. Ensure that the computer and the software you are using to connect to the Internet is fully patched and up to date for OS updates as well as antivirus protection. Antivirus protection should have daily pattern file updates and regularly scheduled scans enabled.
2. Use complex and hard to guess passwords. To add complexity, use long passwords and try using easy to remember phrases or misspell words & add "speshul ch@ract3r$".
3. One of the most common mistakes is to re-use passwords across multiple accounts. Remembering and maintaining unique usernames and passwords can be nearly impossible. To make this easier create and stick to a password management tool that assists you with creating, storing, and accessing your passwords. If possible, try to use other password methods such as biometrics, tokens, and others. And don't forget to enable passwords on your phones and tablets!
4. Trust nothing! If you are unsure if a site or a download is safe, assume it isn't and stay away. If an email looks unusual or you don't know the sender, don't open it or access links/attachments. If someone is requesting information from you that would require you to share personal details, ensure that you can verify that person's legitimacy before you share anything.
5. Share on social networks sparingly, and use their settings to increase your privacy. Most social networks will have default privacy settings that share abundant information about you. Change them to share minimal information.
6. Someone trying to guess your password can use any information you provide. If a person adds you to their network and you don't know them, consider not accepting their request.
7. Secure your home wireless connection. Change your default SSID (network name) and apply secure passwords to connect and manage your network.
Of course, there is no perfect system to prevent IT fraud, but following these key steps diligently should help ensure that individuals are safer when online.
I hope this is useful! Thanks for reading today!

Greetings all. Just posting some methods I use on my photoshop editings. I am not a pro , you sure can find tones of good tutorials on youtube and so on, but just showing the process I usually do. :] I learnt all I know from fab tutorials around the internet, including some done by Second Life users who do this million times better then me. But hope you enjoy it.
Use this tool to crop the image to the desired size. This one allows you to crop it freely.
– Once you have the image crop selected go to EDIT and select Copy. (or Ctrl+C)
– File- New and now you have a new document where you can Past (Ctrl+V your image).
-Always duplicate layer when editing. That way you have an extra image if something goes wrong.
-To give your image a special color touch on the top select IMAGE –> AJUSTMENTS –> Curves. Just play around with your curves and put your capture on the tone you wish. (There's also other Adjustments that can be also used. I prefer this one)
– Due to multiple reasons SL bodies never have the perfect shape… and some points might not be so well and you may need to reshape them.
Shift+Ctrl+X will open the liquify tool
-@ Liquidy I usually use the Pucker Tool (S). This helps you put in the place some poity edges. (Eg: Knees and Elbows shape). Put the brush on the desired size and just play around. Also the Bloat Tool can be used to 'add' more volume to some body parts.
-As you can see on the image there's some difference in the pic where Liquidfy tool was used.
-After will come the fun part. I guess the best about Photoshop is the layers. Layers can make all the difference and I use several.
-Make sure you have your layers visible on the right side of your screen.
-Now create a new layer. (look at the arrow on the image)
-Next step is creating shadows and highlights. Go to the brush tool (B) and select the white color. Now with the brush just tint around the spots you think that shoul have some light. (Don't worry about how it looks. Paint it normaly).
-So now that you have your highlights you will also need some shadows. Now black color and do the same steps as the white but this time draw your shadows.
-You image will look like this. Not pretty, hein? So here comes the trick now.
-The final step. Be sure you have the layer you made (the one with no image) selected. On the top of the layers scroll down and select "Soft Light", you will see your shadows and highlights appear. If you think your highlights/shadows are too heavy go to Opacity and Fill and turn them down to lower levels. (*)
So there are the main steps I take to make my SL pictures. Also remember your good Windlight settings and graphics quality will also help to have less work on photoshop and also make your shots more realistic.

I've listened to several audio books without taking the time to post. This time of year is always hectic for me and 2011 has been particularly busy. Some of it in a good way - the tour of homes fundraiser for which I chair ticket sales was a great success but that meant fielding even more requests for me so it sucked my entire November into a hurricane of charge slips and check deposits. The bad way was Youngest getting hurt in basketball requiring two weeks on crutches and a flurry of appointments for x-rays and orthopedics and physical therapy all with a miserable little boy whose armpits hurt and his goood leg hurt and everything hurt because crutches are not nearly as easy as they look! So here's a quick summary of my listens for posterity's sake!
Queen of Broken Hearts by Cassandra King I feel like the wicked witch when I say this but she just doesn't do it for me. I enjoyed bits and pieces of this one but not enough to say I liked it. My biggest regret with this one was that I didn't think to save it for my 2012 Q book!
Strangers in Death by JD Robb I've listened to one other in this series and didn't really care for it but this one sucked me in. I liked all the characters, even the bad ones, and even though we know "whodunit", I enjoyed Eve's unraveling of the crime.
Gone by Johnathan Kellerman Good but not great detective story.
Last Man Standing by David Baldacci Solid Baldacci, his are consistently good listens for me except when he veers off into the romantic (Christmas Train).
Your Heart Belongs to Me by Dean Koontz I was expecting better. I thought Dean Koontz would be really scary, this wasn't. And I thought it would suck me right in and it didn't. Took two dics before it got interesting, I perservered only because it was audio, a print version would have been set aside.
These all count for these challenges:

Sorry to hear about your son! I hope he's better now.

If you want simplicity & strength of design then the Stampin Up stamp set "Remarkable You" fits the bill perfectly. This stamp set caught my eye when I first flipped through the Stampin Up Annual Catalogue and I knew it would be perfect for making quick stylish cards.
I created the coloured central strip, by masking each edge with a piece of card stock and sponging between the masks with Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight classic ink.
This is a one layer card, so I used the new Thick Whisper White card stock. It is great to stamp on but has the additional strength to stand up well as a card base.
The leaf image from Remarkable You is stamped using Memento Black, and the greeting is from the Cottage Greetings stamp set that is designed to compliment the Cottage Greetings Card Kit. As you can see it is versatile and has some lovely scripts that work with different cards.
There are four large linear images in the Remarkable You stamp set that are perfect for this style of card, giving you plenty of variety within the set.
You can purchase any of these products via my on-line store or feel free to contact me for further information.
Here is the list of products used in this project...

Morning - Ps. 90, 1 Kings 22:1-12, James 5:12-20
Evening - Ps. 104, Job 38:1-18, Mt. 17:1-13
James 5:12-20
James ends his epistle with several important exhortations. Swearing, in verse 12 does not refer to "cussing," though cussing is an obviously evil thing. It refers to attempting to make an oath more valid by swearing in the name of God, Heaven, angels, or holy things which we have no power to bind by our promises. Such "vain and rash swearing is forbidden Christian men by our Lord Jesus Christ, and James his Apostle" (Articles of Religion XXXIX). Accordingly we Anglicans ask people in baptism and confirmation to promise, rather than swear, and, rather than asking them to attempt to obligate God or anyone else, we simply ask them to respond with "I will, by God's help." This answer is yea or nay. "By God's help" is not an oath in the name of God, but a prayerful confession that the help of God is necessary to enable us to keep our obligation.
Verse 13, though short, gives important directions for much of what happens to us in life. We are often afflicted. At such times let us seek God in prayer. When we are merry, let us sing Psalms to God in our joy. Thus, in joy or sorrow, we come to God. Often, even Christians, facing sorrow we seek relief in things other than God. Rather than prayer, and seeking to know the Biblical way to deal with our troubles, we think a vacation or a new toy will cheer us up. But perhaps the Biblical answer may be to persevere and honour God even in our sorrows. Likewise, in joy, people often forget about God instead of remembering and thanking Him.
Verses14-16 do not guarantee physical healing every time we get sick. They do remind us that the prayers of our friends, and, especially, our ministers, are as important in the treatment of illness as the medications and advice of physicians. We are to call for the minister of the church with as much urgency as we call for the physician. His prayers, which avail much (5:16), are an important part of the means of our cure. Our own prayers are also important, and chief among them is the prayer of confession. This means we are not simply praying that God will heal us so we can go back to business as usual. We are asking that life in the future will be more Godly. We are asking not only to be delivered from suffering, but also, even, especially, that we may serve God more fully in the future.
Verses 17 and 18 continue to urge the sick, and all of us, to pray by reminding us that God answers prayer. If God answered Elijah's prayer to withhold the rain for three years, we may believe He will answer the prayers of those who call upon Him today.
Verses 19 and 20 show that our responsibility for Christian compassion and love requires us to learn and grow from one another. This includes the sermons, liturgies, and Bible studies of the Church, and also our daily discourse with one another. Our conversation should be edifying to our hearers, building them up in the faith. We should also be open to the wisdom of others, who may be able to see things we have overlooked. This does not mean we are to become busy bodies, looking for faults in others and imposing our advice on them. Remember James' earlier warning to be swift to hear and slow to speak. It means that our actions and conversation should be helpful to others by pointing them toward Christ, His Word, and His Church. If God in His grace uses you to help turn someone from error or sin, rejoice, for God has saved a soul from death and forgiven a multitude of sins.

Analysts expect 11-year-old NetSuite to post its first profitable year in 2009 as the San Mateo, California-based company's revenue grows 15 percent to $176 million, according to Reuters Estimates. By comparison, they expect SAP to post revenue of 11.8 billion euros ($15.8 billion) and Oracle to report full-year revenue of $23 billion.
The source said NetSuite would soon announce the connection software for SAP, but hold off on unveiling the product that works with Oracle. NetSuite may choose to downplay its efforts to take business away from Oracle due to the Ellison connection.
While Ellison and his family own about 61 percent of NetSuite, his influence over operations is limited. Prior to NetSuite's December 2007 initial public offering, Ellison put the 52 percent stake in NetSuite that he directly owns in a "lockbox" company, effectively stripping him of voting powers, and thereby reducing concerns that his involvement with Oracle could create a conflict of interest.
NetSuite developed SuiteCloud Connect using tools known as application program interfaces, or APIs, that are already built into SAP and Oracle programs, as well as software from most vendors.
Those APIs are open to all programmers and have previously allowed NetSuite customers to develop their own integration software for rolling up financial data into the parent company's computer systems.

Prominent Trump Backers Demand He Address Conflicts Of Interest
Bipartisan Letter To President-Elect Trump Signed By Prominent Supporters
While commending the president-elect for dissolving or forgoing certain building projects undertaken by his various companies, the letter urges Trump to step down from the Trump Organization and further divest himself of business interests which, the authors write, create conflicts of interest which will hurt the hallowed office of president.
Prominent conservatives and Donald Trump supporters were among the signatories to a letter urging the president-elect to address apparent conflicts of interest. On Monday, the letter, a bipartisan effort, warned Trump that the very credibility of the presidential office is at stake.
You can read the letter in its entirety below:
Dear President-elect Trump,
On December 9, 2016, some of us joined in a bipartisan letter to you to express our concern that unless you take appropriate steps to dispose of your business enterprises, conflicts of interest, appearance of conflicts, and Emoluments Clause problems will face you as president. We urged you in the letter "to divest your business enterprises into a true blind trust managed by an independent trustee having no family relationship with you, or the equivalent, in accordance with the guidelines of the Ethics in Government Act."
We write to you again as organizations and individuals from all parts of the political spectrum with expertise in governance issues, including ethical conduct and conflicts of interest. We recognize that you have taken some steps and are considering others to address the conflicts problems facing your presidency. You have said you will announce your full plan in January. We appreciate the steps you have taken. According to the New York Times, these include "terminating pending or nearly completed hotels and apartment buildings in Brazil, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Argentina, while also forgoing other early-stage ventures in places such as India."
You have also said that you recognize the potential appearance of conflict issues posed by your charitable foundation, and that you will shutter it. Your son Eric has announced his intent to do the same with his foundation, and your family has also terminated, or disassociated itself from, several charitable and inaugural fundraising activities that raised concerns. That is a good start, but we wish to be clear that the only way to solve the problems you face remains divesting your business enterprises into a blind trust managed by an independent trustee or the equivalent.
As long as you continue to maintain ownership of The Trump Organization, no other steps that you take will prevent the serious conflicts of interest, appearance of conflicts, and Emoluments Clause problems that will exist throughout your presidency. In these circumstances, you cannot separate the presidency from your business enterprises. Domestic interests and foreign individuals, companies, banks and governments involved in business activities with The Trump Organization will be doing business with and 2 potentially providing financial benefits and profits directly to the president of the United States. The domestic and foreign interests that provide financial benefits and profits inuring directly to you also may have policy issues pending before your administration. Your own substantial business interests also may influence the policy decisions you and your administration make.
As long as you retain ownership of The Trump Organization, you will ultimately be the financial beneficiary of business arrangements made by domestic and foreign interests who are seeking favorable treatment from your administration on policy matters. The problems you face cannot be solved by turning management of The Trump Organization over to your family members. The same conflicts and appearance of conflicts problems would exist in these circumstances. Domestic and foreign interests would see providing financial benefits to your family as a means to curry favor and obtain influence with you. Respectfully, you cannot serve the country as president and also own a world-wide business enterprise, without seriously damaging the presidency. In order to protect the integrity and credibility of the presidency, we again urge you to divest your business enterprises into a true blind trust managed by an independent trustee, or the equivalent, in accordance with the guidelines of the Ethics in Government Act.
Thank you for your attention to our letter.

Don't Miss: The NY Times Promotes A Dangerous False Equivalency Between Trump Supporters And Hate Crime Victims
One of the signatories to the letter is John Pudner, a Breitbart News contributor and Trump backer. On Tuesday, he told NPR that Trump "made such a theme of things like the revolving door and the ways in which decisions can be influenced, not for the public good. If you have the presidency and people are going to question every week, 'Why is he making this decision? Is there some business angle on it?' I just think it undercuts so much of the reason that people did support him."

Central Electricity Board
In 1925 Lord Weir chaired a committee that proposed the creation of the Central Electricity Board (CEB) to link the UK's most efficient power stations with consumers via a 'national gridiron'.
The United Kingdom Central Electricity Board was set up under The Electricity (Supply) Act 1926 to standardise the nation's electricity supply. At that time, the industry consisted of more than 600 electricity supply companies and local authority undertakings, and different areas operated at different voltages and frequencies (including DC in some places). The board's first chairman was Andrew Duncan.
The CEB established the UK's first synchronised AC grid, running at 132 kilovolts and 50 Hertz, which by 1933 was a collection of local grids, with emergency interlinks, covering most of England. This started operating as a national system, the National Grid, in 1938. The CEB ceased to exist when the grid was nationalised by the Electricity Act 1947 and taken over by the British Electricity Authority.
The CEB coexisted with the Electricity Commissioners, an industry regulator responsible to the Ministry of Transport.

Recently, I was looking through the records of the African-American Freedmen's Bureau, attempting to flesh out my knowledge of a local family who were Unionists, and slave owners. While that quest was unfruitful, I did find an interesting piece.
Like most of the South, North Carolina was in a state of flux after the war. People were trying to figure out and adjust to whatever the new normal was. I often tell the story of Harvey Bingham, former member of the 37th NCT, and after mid-1863 major in the 11th Battalion, North Carolina Home Guard. Bingham did such a good job after the war, rounding up deserters and conscription-dodgers, that he was forced to move from the area. He relocated to Statesville and opened a law school. While looking through the Freemen's Bureau records, I found another case, albeit from a different angle.
On May 19, 1866, Lt. P. E. Murphy, the Freemen's bureau agent in Asheville, wrote to Col. Clinton Cilley in Salisbury. His main question concerned with what to do with children who were under 14 and were orphans, or had been abandoned by their parents. But he had another problem. Murphy writes: "There is a colored woman here with four small children who is very destitute and the people about will not give her work for the reason that her husband gave some information to our troops when they came in here. The husband was obliged to leave this place and is now in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and she wants to get to him. Is there any means by which she could be helped[?] Her name is Adelaide Walker."
Next, I looked in the 1870 census for Buncombe County, but no Adelaide Walker. Maybe she finally made it to Chattanooga. Maybe she remarried, or, maybe she died.
It is not possible to know how many times the story above was repeated in North Carolina in the years right after the war: Confederate soldiers returning home to discover loved ones dead or farms burned; Union soldiers unable to deal with the strife the war generated with their pro-Confederate neighbors and family; or people simply wanting to put the past behind them. They all left, taking their stories with them.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
I had originally heard about the series earlier this year but never got around to looking into it. Then the other night sitting around with a friend mentioned the project to him and we decided to look it up. Ended up watching the first 4 episodes of the series. Loved every minute of them. First episode (see below) features Larry David and others include Ricky Gervais, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and Michael Richards amongst others.
In Jerry Seinfeld Intends to Die Standing Up published earlier this month by the NYT Jonah Weiner discussed the project with Seinfeld. Therein Seinfeld described the intended audience as "this bubble world of people who love funny and want to get into it a little closer" and went on to explain that it is an experiment in "isolating the gene"
You can watch all of them for free (at least for now) via the website Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

Every true community has a central space large enough for the community to gather. Our is called Village Square. Weve designed it to help residents feel at home in a friendly, cozily familiar environment. A stroll around Village Square offers views into shop windows decorated with a view to historical periods and culturally familiar themes that evoke memories of the Greatest Generation and their predecessors.
Several real services are indeed located off Village Square: the visiting dentist, podiatrist, and optometrist.
Village Square is also the location of the Nursing Center's Beauty Shop and Sarah's Corner Gift Shop.
In Village Square, residents find shopping opportunities when visiting vendors set up shop. It's also the site for all major Nursing Center activities, such as the monthly birthday party and on a grand scale, our annual New Year's Eve party.
The Village Square regularly resounds with the sound of residents' laughter and applause, with the songs of students from the Hebrew Academy, and with the engaged hum of members of the Daughters of Sarah Auxiliary at their annual luncheon meeting.

Nestled at the foot of BC's Coast Mountain Range, if you've heard one thing about Vancouver it will probably relate to its proximity to, and enthusiasm for, the great outdoors. Ask around a little bit more, and you might find the city also rates anecdotally for its high number of sushi restaurants, rent prices, and an unfashionable tendency toward yoga pants. Having lived here a grand total of almost 4 months, I can tentatively attest to this short list of general truths – with a few revisions.
Yes, there are plenty of outdoor sports to be enjoyed, from hiking, to biking, to skiing and beyond. True, the rent prices are high, and rising (for a single room in a euphemistically-named "basement suite", I've seen prices over and above $1,000 a month).
The sushi restaurants do serve fresh, tasty fish, and they are very reasonably priced for the most part. I'm working on finding a local for every neighbourhood, which is a difficult task only because of the sheer abundance of places to eat.
And finally, okay to the yoga pants. But, here I feel compelled to rectify a misconception. It's true that lululemon products probably hang in a good portion of this city's wardrobes, regularly donned for a walk to the gym or a trip to the supermarket, but activewear is as much a part of the fabric of this city as its diverse Asian population, or the omnipresent London Fog Earl Grey latte (at least, I'm almost certain that last one's a thing).
Fortunately, during my short time living in the 3rd least fashionable city in the world, I've uncovered that its sartorial critics have a lot of unfair press to answer for. Maybe the broad presence of fitness apparel has distracted from one of the city's best assets, or maybe times have changed, but scratch the surface even a little bit and you'll find an unsung array of vintage and boutique stores. These independent shops are full of unique, well-priced clothing sourced both locally and internationally, so seeking them out makes for a more intimate, challenging, interesting, and infinitely more rewarding shopping experience than an afternoon on the strip of high-street haunts.
It's thanks to this that I've put together a short list of my discoveries up to this point. I write "discoveries", but they haven't been particularly hard to find – most of them have a great social presence which I will link to if I can. Bear in mind that what follows is by no means exhaustive, and I hope to add many more spots on down the line. For now, here it is.
Community Thrift & Vintage
Where? 11 West Hastings St. & 311 Carrall St. What? Community Thrift & Vintage runs two stores in Gastown, both gems for finding second hand clothing. In their Hastings St. location you'll find all manner of unisex pieces, with T-shirts ranging from $8 to $30, wool overshirts at $30, and jackets between about $60 and $100. Classic converse in good nick are generally priced around $25. This location also stocks a number of local artists' illustrations, as well as pins, badges, accessories, and crockery.
Last time I visited the smaller, women's fashion-oriented Community Vintage Frocke Shoppe (on nearby Carrall street), it had a cashmere rail for $30+ in a rainbow of colours, all in good condition, as well as coats, jeans, tops and accessories. Funky jazz piano sets the atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly.

Woo To See You
Where? 3671 Main St. & 1062 Mainland St. | wootoseeyou.com What? This well-curated collection of clothing will have something for women who like cool, modern looks that you probably won't encounter anywhere else in Vancouver. Woo To See You definitely has an aesthetic: oversized coats, simple knits and wide-leg trousers are just some of the styles you'll find hanging in their cute and clean stores.
They stock both Vancouver-based and international brands, as well as affordable jewellery in gold and silver, and lots of other bits including a small shoe offering with standout pieces from the likes of Australian brand Sol Sana. I highly recommend visiting for a browse, and even if you don't go home with a purchase, your sartorial interest will be piqued.

Duchesse Vintage
Where? 430 Columbia St. What? Centrally located in Chinatown, Duchesse is stuffed to the brim with Northwest vintage style. With their warm lighting, wood-panelling and exposed brick interiors, Duchesse's goods also remain close to their down-to-earth Vancouver roots. Here you'll find casual West Coast cool in everything from Carhartt workwear and Levi jeans to fur-trimmed wool coats (the blue one pictured above right was $120), all for thrifty-ish prices considering the quality.
Instagram @duchessevintage
Front & Company
Where? 3772 Main St. (and a few more next door) What? Consignment store Front & Company should be high on the list for second-hand clothing shoppers of this city. Of two Main Street locations that sell apparel, one houses a permanent selection of branded clothing that has been only lightly used, as well as a section with brand new pieces including clothes, bags and jewellery.
The other nearby location changes according to the season; at the moment its theme is centred around Christmas party looks, but it will no doubt be something new next month. This store is great if you're seeking out both high street and high-end brands, but don't expect items to be a steal, as items are generally well-preserved and priced accordingly.
Instagram @frontandcompany
Half & Half
Where? 436 Columbia St. What? Brightly-coloured Half & Half is so named because of its curation style: half of the store's products are chosen by one owner, and half by the other. It sells a variation of products, from locally-designed clothing and jewellery for women and men, to badges, patches, cards, and even candles made by one of the owners. Just a few months old, this charming store is located right beside Duchesse in Chinatown, so you can kill two birds with one stone while you're down there.
Instagram @halfandhalf.shop
Where? 486 West Cordova St. | shopecle.com What? Though you can expect to spend a little more in E:CLE than in the above-mentioned stores, you might just find it's worth it for their trendy/quirky selection.
This little boutique's brick-and-mortar location houses a host of independent labels and Korean brands, like Rocket x Lunch and Andersson Bell, while London-based cool-girl brand Miista is also featured here. The kind of place that opens your eyes to previously unknown labels, it's worth some attention as you pass from downtown to Gastown.
Instagram @shopecle
Where? 2541 Main St. | muchandlittle.com What? much&little is split into two conjoined stores, one for wearable apparel, and the other for homey things. This one has some stock for the guys and a huge selection of gift-appropriate items. Prices here are the highest on this list, but clothing fabrics tend to be natural, and many brands are locally-sourced and pretty rare in this boutique, so they'll be treasured for a long time to come.
Instagram @muchlittleshop
Where? 3101 Granville St | zebraclubvan.com What? I don't just love this shop because it's five minutes from my apartment, but it definitely doesn't hurt. Nestled among the many designer shops in South Granville, Zebraclub is a haven for well-priced clothing and accessories aimed at the 20s to 30s age group.
Both men and women are catered to, with local brands including Bianca Barr, Millie & Lou, Maggie Jayne, as well as international brands like Cheap Monday, Herschel, Camper and Neuw. You can see the full list of labels stocked on their website, but you can only shop their beautifully-curated ladies vintage rail in the store.
Instagram @zebraclubvan
C'est La Vie
Where? 3247 Main St. What? Situated on lower Main Street, Cest La Vie's bubblegum pink exterior befits the unconventional cool that lies within. Expect to hunt through boho-chic looks including tulle skirts, fringe jackets and plenty of cowboy boots in this vintage spot, with good prices on everything from jeans to flannel shirts.

The assignment for day seven is "your pet hates." So is this things I personally hate, like pet peeves? Or is this things that my cats and dogs dislike? For the sake of argument, and because no one really cares what my pets don't like, I am going to go with the former. So today I will discuss a few of the things that I hate – or at least drive me nuts. As Mrs Cootchie Mama of cilantro fame knows, I should not say "hate". So let's just say these things really tick me off. (And boy, I am pretty good at getting ticked off.)
First is people who just don't pay attention. You have hopefully seen, not been, the person in the grocery store checkout line who doesn't realize they are ever going to have to pay. They stand in line wait their turn. When they finally make it up to the check out clerk they chat, and look around, and maybe talk on their cellphone. Then everything is rung up, bagged, and totaled. Now the clerk tells them the total. Wait! What? I have to pay? Astounding!! Let me know start digging through my travel kit sized purse for some form of payment. What the heck?! All that time they were in line they could have had their wallet in hand, they card out, or their check filled out all except for the total. Now we all get to wait in stunned silence while they catch up with life. Bet they are the same folks who sit at the traffic light when it changes from red to green and just stare off into space – until finally the driver in the car behind them gets fed up enough to honk. Then they will look back, highly offended, wasting more time, and finally pull off as the light turns from green to yellow to red thereby insuring that only they, and maybe one other car, makes it through the light.
And yes folks I take medication for this stuff.

The Lord granted me the privilege today of addressing the students and faculty at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. The chapel talks for this year are available here.
What a great privilege it was to fellowship in the word with the saints here. SEBTS has impacted my life in very important ways. The first pastor to begin discipling me for pastoral ministry and to model commitment to exposition, Peter Rochelle, was a Southeastern grad. While living in Raleigh, N.C., my family had the privilege of serving at Church on the Rock, where the seminary's influence was positively felt through some of the members there. So, it was a great privilege to serve here today.
One of the remarkable things about SEBTS is the sweet spirit that pervades the place. There is just an obvious joy and freedom here. Dr. Danny Akin is a gracious host... "a gentleman and a scholar" as they say. The school seems to be obviously thriving under his leadership. I was really encouraged with the missions emphasis and zeal in the place. A good work is being done here. Please pray that the Lord enlarges the work of His Spirit in this place.

Terry O'Quinn probably wouldn't - he'd prefer you go out and see a play - but we're still going with this one tonight...
This is a pretty cool 80's Stephen King flick - his only werewolf story - and it's even more cool that it was shot right here in Wilmington NC and I know people who worked on it.
It's not perfect - but it is entertaining - with a young Corey Haim and his uncle Gary Busey trying to figure out which of the local townspeople is getting hairy and scary each full moon...and since one key scene takes place on July 4th, a very appropriate choice for today!
It's on DVD ready to spin any time - even tonight - if you felt like venturing out under the light of the moon to come see it with me.
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

At any rate, despite the less than earth-shattering nature of my revelation, I will finally offer it. Are you ready? Fujiya is the Hershey's of Japan. By that I mean that they make sub-standard chocolate products which are popular mainly because their taste is familiar, their packaging and logo can be related to, and their mascot a long-standing icon in the culture. Their products aren't great, but people know them so they like them.
This is not exactly a criticism of Fujiya. I like Hershey's kisses despite their chalky texture and sour milk/yogurt-like flavor profile and less than endearing chocolate notes. You can enjoy something and recognize that it's not the greatest quality version of that item on the market. Bad pizza is a case in point. I love bad pizza because it is familiar to me as someone whose mother would purchase an enormous quantity of bread-like squares with some form of ketchup and vegetable-based cheese-like product on it. It was a fast food meal from our freezer that provided a welcome alternative to the disgusting sloppy mess of canned vegetables, stacks of day-old white bread, and meat stuffs cooked into a grey, tough mass that my mother used her very special culinary skills to create. Yes, I like things because they were introduced to me in my childhood when I had a very different frame of reference.
The chocolates look cute with the adorable little embossed faces.
You may guess from that introduction that this box of twelve "Milky" mont blanc (a chestnut-paste-based dessert pictured on the lower right of the product's box) candies let me down. Indeed, it did. There is a particular flavoring in all of the Milky chocolates which I am not a fan of. I don't know what it is, but it is like the sour milk flavor in Hershey's chocolates. You either like it or you don't, and I don't.
The bigger sin than this weird taste is that the chestnut/mont blanc component, which was the part of this candy which compelled me to buy it at Nijiya market for about $2.20 (224 yen), is quite weak. It tastes a little like caramel at first, but it dissipates too quickly to really detect any greater depth of flavor. Mostly, you're just getting the very soft, fatty weird chocolate exterior. I should note that this is not because it is fake chocolate, or at least I think it's not. Fujiya uses cocoa butter and cacao mass. It also uses vegetable oil and "artificial flavor", which may account for the strange taste that I dislike. This is not horrible by any stretch of the imagination, but I'll turn to this when I'm out of other candy or want a tiny portion (each square is 20 calories) and only have big amounts on hand.
I have to try to remember that I don't care much for Fujiya's products. I buy them so infrequently that I forget and make mistakes like buying this. That being said, the chestnut part would probably have sucked me into buying it even if I remembered Fujiya's freaky chocolate recipe. Besides, if I keep eating it, I may get used to it and actually learn to like it. It worked with Hershey's, after all.
