rock band
So last night, me and my roommate were looking around on Kajiji, and we found a 'Rock Band' kit with a guitar, drum set, mic, and two games for only $30! We drove in the shitty weather (it was basically a blizzard last night), almost dying just for a Kajiji ad. Worst possible way to die. "They died in a car accident to save a few bucks on Rock Band".. sweet. But yeah, I've been playing it all day, trying to get the in the swing of it again. I used to play expert everything but drums, now i can only do expert guitar on a select few songs, wtf? :(

Patrick McLoughlin Becomes Minister For Transport
43 comments
Conservative MP Patrick McLoughlin has become Minister of Transport as a result of the current Cabinet reshuffle (previous occupant Justine Greening being moved to International Development).
There are suggestions that the move was at least in part to open up the option of adding a third runway at Heathrow. McLoughlin was Aviation Minister between 1989 and 1992 and Mayor Johnson has already begun vocally arguing that this is the case in the media.
In addition to Greening's departure, Teresa Villiers has also been moved on. This may have some positives for London, as Villiers has traditionally been regarded as an opponent of Crossrail 2.
Overall, it remains to be seen what consequences the current reshuffle will have for DfT policy. Once again, however, a Department for which long-term thinking and consistency is crucial appears to be suffering from a lack of continuity at the top. As journalist Michael Crick pointed out shortly after the announcement, McLoughlin becomes the 24th living person to have occupied the position of Minister for Transport, and unfortunately there seems to be little sign that this trend is likely to change.

6. We cried: "Terrorists And Gingerbread" (Episode 1, Season 3)
In Mom's Season 3 premiere, Bonnie's biological mother, Shirley, finally reached out to her after years of estrangement. Though Shirley apologized for abandoning her daughter, Bonnie's cold-shoulder response had us grabbing for the tissue box. Understandably, it would take more than one sit-down to mend those broken bonds.

- Title: プロポーズ大作戦
- Title (romaji): Proposal Daisakusen
- Tagline: Operation Love
- Genre: Romanc
- Episodes: 11
- Viewership ratings: 17.3 (Kanto), 17.2 (Kansai)
- Broadcast period: 2007-Apr-16 to 2007-Jun-25
- Air time: Monday 21:00
- Theme song: Ashita Hareru Kana by Kuwata Keisuke
Dramaworld rating: 4/5
One-line review: A sometimes slow but mostly deeply compelling and well-written drama, with quite possibly the BEST final episode(the special) of any drama I've ever seen.
Iwase Ken and Yoshida Rei have been friends since elementary school. On the day of Rei's wedding to another man, Ken watches her, coming to the full realization for the first time that he's in love with her and always has been, and that he was simply too stubborn to admit it. Fortunately for him, a fairy who lives in the church has been observing him, and decides to give him one last chance(or two) at a happy ending. He sends Ken back in time, giving him the chance to remake the past so that he can chance the present.
Proposal Daisakusen is that rare story of childhood sweethearts-turning-into-grown-up lovers done right. Most stories such as this have a couple falling in love as children and then being split up or separated by fate and losing track of each other until they magically meet again later, at which point they either don't immediately recognize each other or other obstacles arise(usually both). The most difficult part of this plot – the aspect which almost all films that I've seen with this theme have screwed up on – is showing the two falling in love all over again as adults. The entire weight of the romance tends to rest on their childhood feelings for each other, usually shown mostly in flashbacks, and quite simply that's not going to cut it. For one thing because we rarely experience their childhood with them – it's shown almost invariably as a first meeting followed by a few pretty images of them together and then a flash forward to the present, so we as the audience never really empathize with it or are convinced by it. Proposal Daisakusen, thankfully, doesn't follow this theme at all – Ken and Rei remain solid and close(in proximity at least) friends their until lives, and know each other as well as two people in that position could be expected to know each other(by which I mean they have as many misunderstandings and fumblings as any couple fighting toward love would have) so their feelings for each other are both convincing and constantly before our eyes. Ken doesn't need to love some childhood memory of a girl because he loves the girl standing right before him.

Social comments are part of Sharepoint 2010 social computing features. They allow users to comment content on the site built on Sharepoint. There is one problem with using social comments – internally they are bind to the page using absolute URL of this page. It means that if you e.g. move page from one site to another or change URL of the whole site – comments will be lost.
About a month ago Microsoft released Service pack 1 for Sharepoint 2010. It contains new method MergeSocialNotes() in SocialDataManager class. There is also new PowerShell cmdlet Move-SPSocialComments – wrapper for mentioned class. The following post contains other improvements in social features: Changes to Social Computing features in SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1. This is useful enhancement, but what if you don't have SP1 installed yet, but still need to change URL for social comments? E.g. if customers didn't approve SP1 installation yet. This is possible and in this post I will show how to do it.
First of all you need to know that social comments are stored in social database of User profile service application – in SocialComments table:
As you can see it has UrlID – foreign key to another table Urls which contains absolute URLs:
Now let's see how SocialDataManager.MergeSocialNotes() method is implemented in SP1:
1: internal static bool MergeSocialNotes(UserProfileApplication userProfileApplication,
2: Guid partitionID, string oldUrl, string newUrl)
3: {
4: if (null == userProfileApplication)
5: {
6: throw new ArgumentNullException("userProfileApplication");
7: }
8: if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(oldUrl))
9: {
10: throw new ArgumentNullException("oldUrl");
11: }
12: if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(newUrl))
13: {
14: throw new ArgumentNullException("newUrl");
15: }
16: if (!userProfileApplication.CheckAdministrationAccess(
17: UserProfileApplicationAdminRights.ManageSocialData))
18: {
19: throw new UnauthorizedAccessException();
20: }
21: using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("dbo.proc_SocialData_MergeSocialNotes"))
22: {
23: command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
24: command.Parameters.Add("@partitionID", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = partitionID;
25: command.Parameters.Add("@correlationId", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = ULS.CorrelationGet();
26: command.Parameters.Add("@oldUrl", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = oldUrl;
27: command.Parameters.Add("@newUrl", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = newUrl;
28: SqlParameter parameter = new SqlParameter("@success", SqlDbType.Bit);
29: parameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
30: command.Parameters.Add(parameter);
31: userProfileApplication.SocialDatabase.SqlSession.ExecuteNonQuery(command);
32: if (!((bool) command.Parameters["@success"].Value))
33: {
34: return false;
35: }
36: }
37: return true;
38: }
Implementation is quite simple – it just calls stored procedure dbo.proc_SocialData_MergeSocialNotes with specified parameters. This procedure is defined in SQL scripts socialsrp.sql and socialup.sql which are located in 14\Template\SQL\SPS folder (scripts are updated with SP1, previous version didn't have this stored procedure). Both files contain the same code for dbo.proc_SocialData_MergeSocialNotes (I'm not sure why it is duplicated in 2 files):
1: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects
2: WHERE id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[proc_SocialData_MergeSocialNotes]')
3: AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id,N'IsProcedure') = 1)
4: DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[proc_SocialData_MergeSocialNotes]
7: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[proc_SocialData_MergeSocialNotes]
8: @partitionID uniqueidentifier,
9: @oldUrl varchar(2048),
10: @newUrl varchar(2048),
11: @success bit = null output,
12: @correlationId uniqueidentifier = null
17: DECLARE @oldUrlID bigint
18: DECLARE @newUrlID bigint
20: exec proc_Social_GetUrlID @partitionID, @oldUrl, @oldUrlID output, @correlationId
21: exec proc_Social_GetUrlID @partitionID, @newUrl, @newUrlID output, @correlationId
23: IF (@oldUrlID is null)
25: -- nothing to merge
26: set @success = 1
27: return
30: IF (@newUrlID is null)
32: EXEC proc_Social_EnsureUrlID @partitionID = @partitionID, @url = @newUrl,
33: @urlID = @newUrlID output, @correlationId = @correlationId;
36: IF (@newUrlID is null)
38: -- not able to create new Url - error
39: set @success = 0
40: return
43: UPDATE SocialComments
44: SET UrlID = @newUrlID
45: WHERE UrlID = @oldUrlID
47: -- we succeed, even if there is no data to migrate
48: set @success = 1
It uses 2 other stored procedures: proc_Social_GetUrlID and proc_Social_EnsureUrlID which existed before SP1. The code of the procedure is quite simple: it ensures that newUrl exists in Urls table and after updates foreign keys UrlID in SocialComments table to relate comments with new URL. In order to use it in environment without SP1 first of all you need to create this stored procedure in the social database of User profile service application (just execute above script). After that the only thing which should be done – is to write SQL script which will update URLs based on requirements.
E.g. imaging that we need to move news from http://example.com/Departments/IT to the parent site http://example.com/Departments. During content migration we need to preserve social comments. It can be done with the following SQL script:
1: declare @comment nvarchar(4000), @url nvarchar(2048), @newUrl nvarchar(2048)
2: declare @partitionId uniqueidentifier
3: declare @b bit
5: set @partitionId = CAST('...' as uniqueidentifier)
7: declare CommentsCursor cursor for
8: select sc.Comment, u.Url from dbo.SocialComments sc
9: inner join dbo.Urls u on sc.UrlID = u.UrlID
10: where Url like '%/Departmens/IT/%'
12: open CommentsCursor
14: FETCH NEXT FROM CommentsCursor
15: INTO @comment, @url
17: while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
18: begin
19: print @url + ' ' + @comment
21: set @newUrl = replace(@url, '/Departmens/IT/', '/Departmens/')
22: if @newUrl <> @url
23: begin
24: print 'Change url ' + @url + ' -> ' + @newUrl
25: exec proc_SocialData_MergeSocialNotes @partitionId, @url, @newUrl, @b output
26: print 'Result: ' + str(@b)
27: end
29: FETCH NEXT FROM CommentsCursor
30: INTO @comment, @url
31: end
33: close CommentsCursor
34: deallocate CommentsCursor
(This particular example can be implemented using simple Update query, but I decided to use cursor because in real life requirements may be more complicated and Update's possibilities won't be enough).
It gets all comments with their URLs, filter them by particular condition and updates one by one. You may also add transaction here. The last question is where to get @partitionId. The simplest way is just perform the following query on your social database:
1: select sc.Comment, sc.PartitionID, u.Url, u.PartitionID from dbo.SocialComments sc
2: inner join dbo.Urls u on sc.UrlID = u.UrlID
and see what partition will be returned for the comments in your web application.
When you will execute this script – social comments will be merged to the news migrated to parent site.
Of course this half-hack: it manipulates social database directly without object model. However as we saw – object model is just a thin wrapper over used stored procedure. Also this approach doesn't require SP1 installed on production – which can be important for real environments. Anyway I hope that this information will be useful in your work.

Everything was wonderful with the condo and the management. The only thing that was a disappointment was the advertised pricing of the condo. The cleaning fee was not included in your advertised pricing. Its not like the condo is not going to need to be

We enjoyed our weekend Padre Escape. So much that it was way too short of a stay. We had beach time, pool time, and seafood dining. Our 4-year old granddaughter said she had "so much fun" and wanted to stay permanently. But she settled for coming back
next year. The location was ideal...5-minute walk to the beach or a short drive to a clean public beach with free public parking.

The condo was clean, however, we had cockroaches. The bug company came right away to spray. The only real disappointment was that we had no gate to get from our condo to the pool. The advertisement was a big deceiving. The condo did have everything that
we needed, was close to the beach, quiet area, and I would rent it again.
Sorry that you guys felt our advertisement was deceiving, we do not advertise the property as having direct access to the pool. It does have access to a pool but it is not directly behind the unit. I apologize for the bug issue too, we'll certainly stay on top of that. Thank you for the feedback.

a guest from Cypress, Texas recommends this vacation rental
The house was perfect for our little getaway vacation! Would definitely stay here again and again. Plenty of room for everyone. Super easy to get to the beach which was a huge plus! And it was close to the mainland to go out for dinner or in our case make
it to A&M CC to watch soccer!
I did suggest to mgt company that they provide a few more cooking pots & cooking utensils as what is there is good for a family of two maybe three; they also need a few lights in the living room & bedrooms or they need to change the ceiling fan light to a brighter
bulb in the living room as it was hard to read on the couch in the evenings and same with the bedrooms. Their cleaning company needs to do a much better job on cleaning the floors as we didn't particularly like having black feet after showers in evening. Plus
it might not smells so bad when you walk into a 78+ degree house. With no showers outside, the pool needed more attention as it collected a lot of sand and was cloudy so we just kept to the beach. It would be helpful to have a list of island side restaurants
also. OVERALL, even with these few "outta ordinary" details we had a fabulous time and the property was perfect for our group of 9. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone!

The house was perfect for our vacation. Plenty of room for everyone, easy to get to the beach, beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. I did suggest to mgt that they provide mirrors in bedrooms. 4 females, 2 guys, 2 bathrooms with only
2 mirrors made for a bit of a "get ready" challenge. Pool did need more attention. No outside shower available, so lots of sand and salt in pool. It would be helpful to have a list of island side restaurants also. But we had a great time and the property was
perfect for our group. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to friends.
Thank you for the feedback. We will pass along the feedback to the owner. There is a binder provided in every unit we manage that has a list of restaurants and area to-dos. Hope we see you back again soon.

The condo was great for our family group. There were 7 of us altogether and we all had plenty of room to hang out and relax. I have a bad back so beds are always a challenge for me but not here, the beds are VERY comfortable! The condo was very clean and
we had plenty of towels and linens. A couple of the lights didn't work but it wasn't a deal breaker. The only "cons" to staying here: no large pots or pans, no pitchers for making tea or lemonade, no plastic bowls, plates or cups for kids. Also, there was
only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Good thing we brought some extra. All in all, it was a great place and we had a great time.
Glad to hear you guys enjoyed yourselves. Sorry to hear you couldn't find a few items. We do stock additional toilet paper in the bathroom cabinets and there should be plenty of pots and pans in the kitchen cabinets (possibly in the oven drawer). We'll check on those lights and see about adding some plastic dishes for the kiddos. Thank you for the feedback.

Deanna M from Marion, Tx recommends this vacation rental
We enjoyed our stay the Beach Walk. The highlights of the unit were the A/C and the beds! It is the coldest A/C I have ever had in a unit by the beach probably due to it being new. The beds were awesome and each sleeping area had a TV w/cable! The close
walk to the beach is great too. The cons would be that the unit front is right on the parking lot and does not seem very private. The hardware in the unit was not installed very well. The front door handle and toilet paper holders were falling off. The customer
service from the rental agency was spot on! They were nice and you felt like your every need was attended to.
Thank you for the feedback. A great A/C is a must around here in the summers. Since you brought the handle and toilet paper holders to our attention at check-out we have tightened them. Thank you again for the feedback and we look forward to your return.

a guest from Marion, TX does not recommend this vacation rental.
No major issues, everything as promised but was not worth the over final $400 per night.
Minor issues with a few furnishings but worked out well.
Easy to walk the 3 blocks from water.
Pool worked well for kids to swim at night.
We're glad to hear your family enjoyed your stay but we never like to hear that you think it wasn't worth the price. With the increased demand for vacation rental properties going up the prices are going up as well but these are far from the most expensive 3 bedrooms available on the island. We're also required to have guests pay a 15% hotel occupancy tax and that's part of that rate too.
a guest from Frisco, Tx recommends this vacation rental
This was our first time in North Padre Island. Seven of us stayed in the townhome (me, husband, two kids...plus grandparents...and my sister). It was very nice, clean, spacious, comfortable, quiet. The beach was very close, but not visible from this location.
The pool area was nice, but the pool itself seemed too small for this many units. We all really liked the complex overall and the beach. The town itself or let's say the area is just OK. We were hoping for more and better restaurants and a lot more charm.
If we could take these townhomes and transplant them somewhere else, I would say we would be back 100%. It was nice overall.
Thank you for the feedback. As the Schlitterbahn water park progresses you should see many more restaurants and area attractions pop-up as well. We do currently have a good selection of local restaurants that are off the beaten path and not as well known.

I had rented two condos the extended weekend and have to say that the accommodations met our expectations. A couple of recommendations would be to provide hooks in the bathrooms for hanging towels, since there were 8+ people in each condo and there were
two bathrooms to share. As relates to the pool, the grills were smaller than what was expected and it would be better to have 2 larger grills or 3 at the current size. Finally, the wireless internet was very slow and had issues logging in. Otherwise, the stay
was satisfactory.
Thank you for the recommendation on the hooks, we'll speak with the owner about providing some. I can understand the grills being small for your group of 16 but I think they are a very adequate size for most groups. Since you're hear on the island you never know how strong the wifi will be but we haven't had any other complaints, we'll look into it though. Thank you for the feedback, we hope you stay with us again.

My Evy bear is two years old today. TWO!
Never before has time gone by so fast.
In honor of her musical spirit, I thought I'd do a little photo essay of a recent kite flying attempt (really, just an attempt) her daddy orchestrated. For about a two month period, Evy sang "Let's Go Fly A Kite" from the movie Mary Poppins at least every 15 minutes.
I love that her world is one where it's totally acceptable and completely expected to break out in song at any given moment.
That's how the world should be.
I hope she always believes that and lives that way.
Here's to two years on the books for Evelyn Ruth!
With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring (Evy says "storming!")
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

29 November 2016
All the 300,000 signatures were collected in Northern Ireland, which was not the case for the 45,000 on Amnesty International's petition promoting abortion. Image: Precious Life
A 300,000 signature petition opposing change to Northern Ireland's abortion law has been presented to Stormont. MLA Jim Wells said it is the largest petition ever presented to the Assembly.
Mr Wells of the DUP said that all 300,000 people who signed the petition organised by Precious Life had postal addresses in Northern Ireland. In contrast, it has been questioned whether the 45,000 signatures on an Amnesty International calling for the legalisation of abortion were collected from within the region.
Mr Wells told the Assembly: "I am presenting you with what I believe to be the largest petition ever received by the Northern Ireland Assembly - 300,000 signatures - not 45,000 - 300,000 signatures calling for the protection of unborn children in Northern Ireland."
The two petitions come as a panel set up by the Northern Ireland Executive to examine abortion law in is believed to have recommended legislative change in cases of "fatal foetal abnormality". The working group reported its findings to ministers on October 11, but its conclusions have yet to be published.
The "beautiful and other worldly development" of the human embryo has been revealed in an interactive three-dimensional atlas, reports the Guardian.
A team of scientists in the Netherlands created 3D digital models demonstrating how the unborn child develops in the first eight weeks of life. About 75 students analysed photographs of sections of tissues from the US-based Carnegie Collection of embryos to create the atlas.
"Everyone thinks we already know this, but I believe we know more about the moon than about our own development," said Bernadette de Bakker, of the University of Amsterdam, who co-led the project with colleague Professor Antoon Moorman.
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service has called for the morning after pill to be sold in supermarkets alongside aspirin, to avoid "unnecessary and embarrassing" conversations with pharmacists.
"Emergency contraception" was made available at pharmacies in 2001 for women to buy after a consultation with a pharmacist.
However, family groups and pharmacists have criticised BPAS' idea. Norman Wells, from the Family Education Trust, said: "With no questions asked about previous medical history or previous use of the drug, there is a very real danger that it could be misused or overused.
"Dispensing with the requirement of a consultation with the pharmacist would make it easier than ever for the abusers of vulnerable girls and young women to force their victims to purchase the drug - or even to buy it for them - as a way of trying to conceal their crime."
A Department of Health spokesman said that there are no plans to change the system.
It isn't medicine - it's a powerful hormonal drug and we don't know the long-term effects especially on still-growing girls. But even if it were proved to be perfectly safe and we don't care about the abortifacient effect, it encourages sexual abuse of minors and has done nothing to lower abortion rates.

is one of the 12 Jyotirlings of India, a pilgrimage place approximately 3500 feet high up in the hills. The area around Bhimashankar is covered with thick dense jungle. The Maharashtra Government has also declared it a Wildlife Sanctuary.The sanctuary is small (only about 100 sq. km's), but it is home to a wide variety of animals Leopard, Sambar, Barking deer, Porcupines, Grey Junglefowls, Wild pig, Hanuman langur, Rhesus macaque and Flying Squirrel etc. The sanctuary is famous as the home of a highly endangered subspecies of the Indian Giant Squirrel – Shekharu (Ratufa indica elphistoni), which is also the state animal of Maharashtra.
Shiva Temple:
The temple of Bhimashankar is around 1200 – 1400 years old and is built on the Hemad Panthi style. There are very beautiful sculptures and paintings on the roof and pillars of the temple. At the front of the temple hangs a huge metal bell cast in 1729. There is also a 15-20 feet high "Deepmala" or lamppost in the outer corridor of the temple. There is also an inscription on stone on this lamppost. It is to be noted that the original name of the river Chandrabhaga at Pandharpur is Bhima. This Bhima River originates at Bhimashankar.
Gupt Bhimashankar:
There is a water stream route going down from the left of the Ram temple. Taking that route, we enter a thick jungle. We reach a temple around 25 minutes through this route. A route going toward the waterfall, left of this temple, leads to the "water sculpted" "Shiva Linga" under this waterfall. This is called the Gupt Bhimashankar. There is a huge waterfall at this place.

I bought this on a recommendation as a decent all-in-one, that is body wash, shampoo and conditioner. It certainly does all of these and smells great. I'd recommend this to someone looking to simplify their wash routine. The only downside is the price. It's much cheaper to buy all of these things separately elsewhere which makes it difficult to justify spending so much on the one product.

* TSX ends up 0.2 pct at 13,652.27
* Golds up as Greek debt woes boost bullion
TORONTO, May 20 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index rose for a fifth-straight session on Friday as higher bullion and oil prices boosted gold-mining and oil and gas shares.
Among gold producers, Goldcorp (G.TO) was up 1.37 percent at C$47.50, Iamgold (IMG.TO) gained 1.95 percent to C$20.40, and Barrick Gold (ABX.TO) rose 0.45 percent to 44.38.
Gold prices jumped 1.5 percent on safe-haven buying after Greece's credit rating was cut by Fitch. [ID:nLDE74J0LV]
"Gold prices have rebounded quite strongly today, but the fact is that gold stocks have been lagging the rise in gold prices for months now," said Elvis Picardo, an analyst and strategist at Global Securities in Vancouver.
"Gold stocks are certainly benefiting from renewed interest in some of the undervalued names."
Junior producer Alacer Gold (ASR.TO) rose 5.67 percent to C$8.76 and Lake Shore Gold LSG.TO was up 5.56 percent to C$3.61.
Oil prices also rose, bouncing back from earlier losses, helped by a broad rise in commodities. The Reuters-Jefferies CRB index .CRB, a global benchmark that tracks a basket of 19 commodities, ended up 0.67 percent.
Encana (ECA.TO) was up 2.32 percent at C$32.60, while Bonavista Energy (BNP.TO) rose 1.98 percent to C$28.86.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE closed up 27.18 points, or 0.2 percent, at 13,652.27.
Seven of the index's 10 main groups were higher. The mining-heavy materials sector and the energy sector, which together make up nearly half of the index, were up 0.23 percent and 0.64 percent respectively.
The heavyweight financials sector ended down 0.1 percent.
Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO) ended down 0.1 percent at C$58.49, and Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO) lost 0.05 percent to C$62.17.
Bruce Latimer, a trader at Dundee Securities, said that trading was largely directionless ahead of a long weekend in Canada.
He said financial stocks would likely see more action next week when the country's big banks start to report their quarterly results.
In individual company news, Air Canada's ACb.TO 3,800 customer service and sales agents authorized strike action if necessary to back their bargaining position in contract talks. Air Canada's stock still managed to gain 5 Canadian cents to C$2.40, however. [ID:nN20226206]

7,000 calories later
It's after 11 p.m. and I've given up on trick or treaters tonight. Oh well. Not really surprising since it's not a German tradition. But it has caught on in some areas, just not in our dark and scary cul de sac. That means more candy for us. Not a good thing. One more mini Mars Bar and I swear I'll explode.
Boy13 designed our pumpkin this year. I love it.
We had our usual Halloween dinner, including a very scary serpent
(no venom, just ham and cheese - recipe here)
and a candy corn cake for dessert
I'm going to go to bed now and try to sleep off the sugar shock.
Happy Halloween!

I needed to move a light switch that was on the wall where my final bookcase unit is going.
I started by Opening up the Light Switch to see what I was dealing with (after turning off the power!)
Looks like I have only 1 pair of wires to deal with – coming from the attic. So my next step was Check the Attic.
Good news, my wire goes straight up to a junction box in the attic. But the bad news is the wire isn't long enough to be moved over 1 foot. (Wouldn't it have been nice if the installer would've given a foot of extra wire "slack"!)
Anyway! Moving this light switch is a go for 2 reasons.
1. I only need to move it over to a neighboring wall by about a foot. And
2. the too short wire can be easily replaced by a new 5 foot length from the switch to the junction box (instead of all the way to the light – which would have been too much work).
I Cut a Hole for my New Switch, making sure to be away from the corner and not on top of a stud. I put my hole 7 inches from the corner, 2" away from the corner studs.
I measured the distance from the corner to my new location, and took that measurement to the attic with me. I made my new hole into the wall space right over where my new switch will be.
How to tell where your walls are from inside the attic.
To start it helps to have some rough landmarks in the attic… like where the stairs or opening from below are, any skylights, can lights from the kitchen, known walls (these are the most helpful!)
Let's use these pictures to help me explain…
Since I know where the main load bearing wall is (right along where the old house meets the addition – the new side is covered by plywood in the attic…) and I know where the wall with the bookcases is (the framing goes up to the roof here), I can determine where my new light switch wall is too.
Top plates will often be 2 2x4s thick, so use a very long drill bit to drill through them. Here are some example pics.
from http://www.structuredhomewiring.com/WiringExistingHome.aspx
I Drilled a Hole Through the Top Plate for my wires. I have a double top plate, so I use a long 5/8" borer bit to drill a good size hole for my wires.
Then I Ran Fish Tape down from the attic hole to the new hole in my wall.
Fish tape: is this green thing in the photo. It is basically a reel of a bendy metal strip with cap on the end. Downstairs I attached a length of electrical wire () to it. In the attic, I pulled the wire up on the fish tape – I "fished" for my wire and caught it. Haha.
Connected the wires together in the attic junction box. Hot to hot (black wire to black wire, etc).
In the living room, I slipped the other end of the wire through an electrical box, which I attached to the wall. Use an "OLD WORK" box! This gets confusing, but New Work means working in a new building (before the drywall goes up), while Old Work means adding to an old building, where the walls and all are already in place.
Here's some idea how to use "New Work" electrical box.
Cut your hole, sized for the box body. The wire goes through one of the flaps in the back of the box. With the box in the wall, tighten the tab screws to pull the tabs against the drywall.
from http://www.structuredhomewiring.com/WiringExistingHome.aspx
Almost Done!
Attach the light switch to the wires and attach to the electrical box. Hot (black wire) on top. Check that it's level and put the cover back on!
Whew! Now I have to patch over the old electrical box… that'll be in my next post Okay ;)
I'm starting to wonder if this project will ever be done!

Fassbender has been doing a lot of British work in recent years ("HEX", "MURPHY'S LAW") and appeared in "BAND OF BROTHERS", but is perhaps best known as 300's Spartan warrior Stelios ("Then we will fight in the shade."). He also stars in the upcoming horror flick EDEN LAKE.

SCARBOROUGH — More than 120 acres of farmland along Pleasant Hill Road near Spurwink Road will be preserved if the Scarborough Land Trust can raise $2.5 million by Dec. 31.
The nonprofit trust announced Jan. 22 it had reached an agreement to purchase the 126-acre Benjamin Farm, and will soon apply for a grant from the town land bond fund. The trust will also seek funding from other public and private sources.
The land was operated as a cattle farm for more than 50 years by Jerred Benjamin, who died in 2006. It is now owned by his children.
The trust envisions a network of trails and "agricultural possibilities" on the land, which borders a portion of the Rachel Carson Wildlife Preserve.

Retailer roundup
Bensalem, Pa. Charming Shoppes Inc. agreed to purchase Lane Bryant Inc., a subsidiary of Columbus, Ohio-based The Limited Inc. for $335 million. The acquisition positions Charming Shoppes, best known for its Fashion Bug and Catharine's Plus Sizes stores, as a leader in the plus-size apparel market.
When the transaction is completed in 2nd quarter 2002, Charming Shoppes will have more than $2.5 billion in annual sales with approximately 70% of revenue derived from plus-sizes. The company plans to operate Lane Bryant as a stand-alone operation that does not compete with its existing brands. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. acted as exclusive financial advisor to Charming Shoppes for the transaction.
Charlotte, N.C. Ruddick Corp. is selling 26 of its Harris Teeter grocery stores in Georgia and South Carolina. The locations to be sold brought in only 11.2% of Harris Teeter's total sales ($1.24 million) for the six months ended April 1, 2001. By dropping them, the chain says it will be able to concentrate on its core markets in North Carolina.
Cincinnati-based The Kroger Co. is purchasing 15 locations in Atlanta and Athens, Ga. These locations will join Kroger's 107-store strong Atlanta division. Buyers for the remaining 12 stores in South Carolina were unannounced as of press time, but rumor has it they will be scooped up by Victoria, Australia-based Coles Myer Ltd., owner of the Bi-Lo chain, and Lewisville, Tex.-based Fleming Cos. Inc., owner of the Piggly Wiggly chain.
Washington, D.C. In spite of the slowing U.S. economy, the retail industry as a whole posted a sizeable 7.1% gain in total sales over 1999 to reach $3.4 trillion, according to the National Retail Federation's Triversity Top 100 Retailers report. A few significant trends are highlighted in the report, including: Discount stores embracing the supercenter concept and adding more food items to their inventory; supermarkets adding non-foods and other services to confront emerging threats from drug stores; Mass merchandisers of all types installing gasoline pumps; and home improvement chains expanding their offerings in home furnishings and major appliances.
In the news
Washington, D.C. With REIT indexes setting new highs in recent weeks, some market watchers have suggested real estate stocks on average may now be overpriced or at least fairly priced. But are they? Maybe not in all cases, says Michael Grupe, senior vice president and director of research for NAREIT.
Real estate stock prices at the end of June were still about 40% on average below their peak levels at the end of 1997, Grupe says. While NAREIT's Equity REIT Total Return Index has exceeded its previous peak, it illustrates that share prices on average have not yet recovered to their December 1997 levels.
Broad-based equity indexes continue to languish with negative returns through mid-year, while value and income-oriented stocks posted double-digit returns. The rebalancing of investor sentiment and portfolio allocations, as well as renewed interest in diversification, that emerged early last year has continued, Grupe says.
If price multiples remain stable, income returns alone in the second half of the year would assure an average annual total return to real estate stocks this year in the mid-teens about what one would expect from real estate stocks.

The 1997 Census of Retail Trade, published in 2000, established some benchmarks for understanding how Americans spend their money. New York-based consulting firm Landauer estimates that $1.7 trillion was spent in stores, of the year 2000 personal income expenditures of about $6.8 trillion, excluding autos, gasoline and non-store retailing. Clothing and grocery sales are growing slowly, but drugstores and home furnishings and appliances are surging.

Have you thought about learning how to fix your car yourself? It can be done, and you may even enjoy it. You will realize savings, and your car will last much longer. You can read this article to find out how to do car repair yourself.
Do not take your car to the first mechanic you find. You need to do some research to find a reliable mechanic with fair prices. Ask your friends and family about the mechanics they have been to in the past and check the Internet to find reviews written by other customers.
Be sure and regularly check your radiator. To do this, you need to allow your car to run several minutes, and then turn off the engine. You are now ready to open up your hood. You should never open your radiator whenever your car is turned on. Check the amount of fluid in your radiator with your dipstick and remember to mix the coolant with some water.
When taking your car to the mechanic's, you should not leave before having a complete diagnosis of what needs to be fixed. If the mechanic refuses to look at the car right away or does not want to give you a quote for the issues he diagnosed, find someone else.
Ask a potential mechanic if they have experience with working on the exact kind of car you have. If they have worked on the same type vehicle you have, they will know which areas to check first on your car.
Always ask your mechanic for OEM parts. These parts are issued by the manufacturer of your vehicle. Generic may be cheaper, but you don't know the quality of these parts as time goes on. A great deal can cost you tons down the road.
Do not be afraid to ask a potential technician any questions you have. It is your vehicle that they will be working on and it is important that someone with the proper qualifications is handling it with care. In addition to asking about the problem with the vehicle, ask them any other questions you have about your car.
When visiting a repair shop, be mindful of warning signs that the shop is not a good one. If they are talking in circles and avoiding your questions, you should take your business elsewhere. If your gut feeling is that you don't quite trust your mechanic, keep looking for one who inspires confidence in you and helps you understand the problems with your car.
If your car's electrical system is behaving strangely, try cleaning the ground cables. Auto makers use the metal body of a vehicle to act as a "ground" for the electrical system. Over time the area where this cable connects to the frame can corrode, causing a stray electrical current that can wreak havoc on your system. This cable is usually connected on the firewall or fender, so simply disconnect it and use a wire brush or sandpaper to clean the contacts.
Changing a car battery is quick and easy. It usually involves unfastening a clip on top of the battery and using a wrench to loosen and remove the connectors. (Naturally, you should do this with your engine off!) Brush the connectors clean with a wire brush. Lift out the old battery and put the new battery in its place. Fasten the connectors securely and refasten the clasp. You should be good to go!
Don't be scared of doing DIY auto repairs. Although the engine may seem complicated to you, once you know the basics, auto repair is as easy as pie. Remember the tips in this article for reference. They make auto repair possible.

Following on from discussions at the 'after' part of last nights MMUG-Dublin meeting, I created a pure Actionscript 3 project and a similar Flex application project, both in Flex Builder 3. The aim was to compare final swf size. Both apps draw 3 circles on the screen.
Size Wise:
Flex 3 Application SWF (Release Build of Project): 169KB (but only 65KB with framework caching – see Optimization section below)
Pure Actionscript 3 Project SWF: 1KB
Optimization – Framework Caching
By default, the flex framework gets merged into your main swf file, adding around 100KB+. This can be avoided by going to Properties/Flex Build Path/Library Path/Framework Linkage/ and selecting Runtime Shared Library (RSL) from the dropdown. When you do a Build Release Project, your framework will be exported as a signed swz and an unsigned swf . These files should be placed in the same directory as your main swf file on the web server. In Flex 4, the framework RSL will automatically point to a public section of the Adobe site, where the swz's will be available. Saves you having to host them.
The framework will only need to be downloaded by a particular client once, and will be cached by Flash Player, meaning every subsequent use of your app will not require downloading of the framework.swz (in the release will be named something like framework_18.104.22.16858.swz).
Read more about framework caching here: http://ted.onflash.org/2008/01/flex-3-framework-caching.php
If Actionscript will suffice e.g. for drawing three circles on the screen, go with a pure AS3 Project. If your developing data driven applications and user interfaces, use the Flex SDK (saves a tonne of time and effort, and whats 60kb these days – less than most peoples profile pics). Have a look at this Stackoverflow question for more opinions on each approaches pros and cons.

The "shocking" actions of a former Vancouver police officer who sold marijuana while on duty deserve severe punishment, said a judge who handed down a three-year prison sentence Thursday.
Peter Andrew Hodson, 32, was caught last year selling drugs during an elaborate undercover police operation.
"Your remarkable fall from grace is a burden that will stay with you for life," Vancouver Provincial Court Judge Gregory Rideout told Hodson before sheriffs handcuffed him and led him away to begin serving his sentence.
Hodson, who had been an officer since 2006, pleaded guilty last November to drug trafficking and three counts of breach of trust, including one count for improperly accessing a police computer database known as PRIME.
Prosecutor Joe Bellows had asked Rideout to impose a 3.5-year sentence on Hodson, who was fired after he was arrested.
Defence lawyer Vince Michaels asked that Hodson serve his time under house arrest so he can provide for his wife and four children.
The judge found a conditional sentence was inappropriate.
"In this case, the accused became completely disengaged from his moral and ethical duty to protect and serve," the judge concluded.
"The accused used his badge and his uniform to avoid detection and to promote the perpetration of his drug trafficking."
He said the message must be sent that police officers who knowingly engage in criminal activity should be severely punished.
"The accused knowingly embarked upon his predatory criminal activities with his eyes wide open," the judge said. "He must have clearly appreciated the potential for serious consequences for his conduct."
While acknowledging that Hodson had done a lot of volunteer work in his community and relatives offered glowing letters of support, the judge found that Hodson committed his crimes for profit and thrill-seeking
The court was told that at the time Hodson began selling pot on the job, he was married with three children and had another on the way. He was also having two affairs. His wife had learned about them and kicked Hodson out of the family home, so he was experiencing financial difficulties.
A psychologist who interviewed Hodson several times told the court that Hodson found police work boring, and sought excitement on the job through risk-taking.
The judge told Hodson that the people of Vancouver and the police department were also victims of his illegal actions.
The judge sentenced Hodson to two years in jail for the drug trafficking, another two years concurrent for the breach of trust in failing in his duty as a police officer, and an additional one year for breach of trust related to improper use of the PRIME police computer. Hodson had used it to check up on Tyson Pappas, a crack addict resident of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, who was recruited by Hodson to sell drugs.
Hodson gave Pappas scales and zip-lock bags and suggested the dealer get business cards to increase profits.
The judge noted that DTES residents are particularly vulnerable and deserving of police protection.
The judge also imposed a 10-year firearms ban.
During an undercover operation, police observed Hodson buying and selling drugs using another accomplice, Oscar Lapitan, who also pleaded guilty and received a one-year conditional sentence.
Before Hodson's arrest in April last year, he made a deal with an undercover officer to supply half a pound of pot every Friday for $1,500.

The iPhone has been the benchmark for many mobile phones out there and it is safe to say that a lot of these phones have better specifications than the iPhone but sometimes, it may be the hardware that puts people off. The iOS is, to a lot of people, better in many ways because it is easy to use and looks better in a way. However, Samsung has released with a new 4G phone called the Epic Touch. Could this phone possibly be another contender for the iPhone?
First of all, it is very noticeable that the Epic Touch 4G has a big screen. In fact, it has a size of 4.52-inch which is a lot bigger than most phones nowadays. However, it is quite thin as well as lightweight which makes it suitable to be put inside the pocket and not feel disturbed by it.
Sporting a 1.2GHz dual-core processor makes it extremely fast as well. The Super AMOLED screen would definitely leave anyone that looks at it mesmerize for its impeccable quality. Available at $200 for a 2-years contract with Sprint, it isn't too expensive either and in fact, is a bit cheaper than the iPhone as well. A phone like this would be well worth to have.

Papa Kenn Reviews: THE HUNGER GAMES from Will Damron on Vimeo.
Review Transcript:
Before I get into this, here's the most basic idea of what The Hunger Games is if you have: 1) been living under a rock amidst all the marketing and fandom in recent months, or 2) you're too lazy to either Google it or go to IMDB…
America is now known as Panem, a country split into 12 districts following a civil war against The Capitol. As penance for the rebellion, all 12 districts submit 2 tributes (1 boy & 1 girl) between the ages of 12 and 18 to fight to the death in an arena that is shown all around the country as a form of entertainment. 24 go in, 1 comes out. The survivor wins his/her freedom and never has to worry about going hungry ever again. The story itself revolves around Katniss Everdeen of District 12, who volunteers as tribute when her 12 year old sister is drawn from the lottery.
With a cloud of negativity looming over my head, I'm going to go ahead and get the good out of the way.
First and foremost: I enjoyed this movie. The actors and actresses do an excellent job in their roles, and I can't think of a single performance that wasn't exceptional. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, and everyone else; all excellent matches that made the characters believable. The movie's story is overall very faithful to the original material despite necessary cuts here and there to ensure the movie would be of reasonable length for audiences. It features a strong heroine that is more concerned with survival and doing what's right, rather than being concerned with who would make the best boyfriend: a sparkly "not-really-vampire" or a shirtless werewol- NO NO, STAY ON TOPIC! And the action scenes, while toned down to accommodate for the PG-13 rating, are very well done and stand strongly on their own, even after the initial scene as the games began.
In fact, by all means The Hunger Games had the potential to be one of the most outstanding films to come out in a long time. I know the book itself is certainly one of the most intriguing works of literature I've read in a long time (and apparently the sequels are even more intense).
Ugh…Let's go through the list shall we?
1) TOO MUCH SHAKY CAM. The first portion of the film that takes place in District 12 has so much shaky camera going on that it's dizzying! We see the technique used throughout the rest of the movie occasionally, though thankfully much less frequently and to varying levels of severity. That first portion of the movie was almost unwatchable because of this. A few shots look like the camera is being held in someone's hands with the zoom all the way in.
Possibly the only instance in which the shaky cam felt appropriate was during the opening of the games and a few action sequences after that. Otherwise, no. Just no.
2) Despite The Hunger Games' strong focus around food and the severe shortage of it everywhere but the Capitol, no one seemed to be going hungry. Especially in District 12, which is supposed to be one of the areas where dying of starvation is commonplace. In the book, Katniss practically scarfs down the first full meals presented to her as a tribute. In the movie however, she hardly eats at all.
3) The whole movie, despite being over 2 hours and 20 minutes in length, and having numerous cuts to the original storyline, is very rushed. While this is a good thing during the actual games, which cut the timeline down from a number of weeks to a number of days, many things that should have been emphasized and expanded on felt skimmed over and lacked the emotional impact from the book. For example, the relationship between Katniss and Rue. Furthermore, while the ending is essentially well done, it zooms by in a matter of minutes and appears to have forgotten several key characters altogether.
And finally…
4) This movie falls into an unfortunate position of being a faithful adaptation yet possibly drawing too much from its source material. While the movie itself is able to stand on its own for the most part, fans of the book will struggle over details left out (as is bound to happen with any book to movie translation), and anyone that hasn't read the book will likely find themselves confused by certain details left unexplained or key characters left underdeveloped. The general assumption appears to be that the movies based on the 2nd and 3rd books will have more detail and fleshed-out characters, but even if that is true it still leaves this movie feeling somewhat crippled by its constant rushing.
In the end, it's an overall enjoyable movie that suffers from technical issues more than anything. If you've read the book once or not at all, there's a good chance that you'll enjoy it despite its faults. Super fans of the series however, are going to be just as disappointed as any other super fan when it comes to their favorite franchise being put on the big screen and going in with high expectations. Keep your expectations realistic, people. Not every adaptation can be as perfect Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Or Baseketball.
I give The Hunger Games 7 "apples shot out of a pig's mouth" out of 10.
Score: 7/10
I'm Papa Kenn, and May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor.

"Duterte Harry" defends deadly crime crackdown
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte promises to wipe out crime and illegal drugs during his inaugural State of the Nation Address. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte vowed big reforms to tackle chronic economic flaws on Monday (July 25) and defended his pursuit of a deadly anti-narcotics war, saying drugs were drowning his country and human rights were no excuse to shield criminals. Just a month into his presidency, Duterte used his inaugural State of the Nation Address to warn the public to steer clear of drug use, the scale of which was "staggering and scary" and promised no relenting in his crackdown. Nicknamed "the punisher" and "Duterte Harry" for his brutal fight against crime, Duterte hit back at activists incensed by a surge in the killing of suspected drug traffickers, saying human rights should protect dignity, not let criminals destroy the country. "There will be no let-up in this campaign. Double your efforts. Triple them, if need be. We will not stop until the last drug lord, the last financier and the last pusher have surrendered or put behind bars, or below the ground, if they so wish," he said. Duterte did not mention the number of suspected drugs dealers killed during his efforts but police have logged 240 deaths related to the trade since he took office, although other estimates are higher. He said 120,000 people had surrendered to police in the past month, and 70,000 were drug pushers.

Today's manicure is a pretty big departure from my normal style. It is more bright and bold and I am not big into animal prints . . .
But I think this is really fun. I am so glad that it was part of the 31 day challenge!
I painted all my nails except pinkies with 3 coats of Wet n Wild Tickled Pink. I did a saran wrap finish on middle and ring fingers using China Glaze Love's a Beach. I then stamped those nails with Cult Nails Fetish and Pure Ice Silver Mercedes using Pueen40. Lastly, I added two coats of Julep Sadie to my pinkies.
So, what do you think of these wild nails? Are you a fan of animal print manicures?
Check out the other animal nails below.
Have a great Friday.

On the Today programme, Radio 4, this morning, they announced that Clive James would be reading his new poem on Life and Death later on. Well, I couldn't wait for them to get round to it, because first of all they had to have one of their antagonistic interviews in the aftermath of the European Parliament Elections and I can't bear to listen to this kind of argumentative point scoring and ranting.
However, a search on Google brought me to this website;
It has a video of Clive James reading the poem in question "Driftwood Houses", and the write up below, from the New Statesman
Everybody has a favourite Clive James. He is a poet, broadcaster, critic, author and translator, whose most recent work – his "crowning achievement" – is a translation of Dante's Divine Comedy. Since arriving from Australia in 1962, he has forged a reputation unlike any other in British public life. Even now he is brimming with ideas. He plans to abandon journalism over the coming months in order to start work on a new book – or two. There's already one in the bag, however, a book of poetry criticism which will be published this autumn, "even if I drop off the twig, as we say in Australia".
While we spoke, James's sentences were punctuated by a violent, rattling cough. "This has exhausted me," he said as we drew to a close. "But I've loved every minute of it."
As we left and loaded our cameras into the car, he came out and stood by the gate. He thanked me for my questions, for taking care of the poem published in this week's New Statesman, and for coming up to visit. "Oh to be starting out," he said. "What I wouldn't give to be starting out again."
Further searching took me here; http://www.clivejames.com/poetry/
Driftwood Houses is in "Recent Poems" - again, another introduction first, this time by Clive James;
Except for my micro-epic "Aldeburgh Dawn", all of the poems in this section have been written and published since my collection Nefertiti in the Flak Tower came out in the UK in 2012. (Publication in the USA is scheduled for late 2013.) Most of them are already ear-marked for yet another collection, which doesn't have a title yet, but which I hope I will be still around to see published. I have been quite ill for three years now but have found that when I have any energy and clarity of mind at all, poetry has been my first means of signalling how I feel. I don't quite know what this says about how deep the instinct must lie to express oneself in verse. Maybe the whole impulse is just a reaction to the kaleidoscope of medication, with all those pills of different shapes and colours.
and here's the poem and its illustration
Driftwood Houses
The ne plus ultra of our lying down,
Skeleton riders see the planet peeled
Into their helmets by a knife of light.
Just so, I stare into the racing field
Of ice as I lie on my side and fight
To cough up muck. This bumpy slide downhill
Leads from my bed to where I'm bound to drown
At this rate. I get up and take a walk,
Lean on the balustrade and breathe my fill
At last. The wooden stairs down to the hall
Stop shaking. Enough said. To hear me talk
You'd think I found my fate sad. Hardly that:
All that has happened is I've hit the wall.
Disintegration is appropriate,
As once, on our French beach, I built, each year,
Among the rocks below the esplanade,
Houses from driftwood for our girls to roof
With towels so they could hide there in the shade
With ice creams that would melt more slowly. Proof
That nothing built can be forever here
Lay in the way those frail and crooked frames
Were undone by a storm-enhanced high tide
And vanished. It was time, and anyhow
Our daughters were not short of other games
Which were all theirs, and not geared to my pride.
And here they come. They're gathering shells again.
And you in your straw hat, I see you now,
As I lie restless yet most blessed of men.
-- New Statesman, April 18, 2014
The point is that this sums up how I feel about my own condition; the various elements that affect my health result in my lungs feeling as though they are full of glue, and coughing up the gunk is physically hard work. Walking stairs and slopes makes me breathless, walking up a steep hill is very slow work, but is still possible, a few paces at a time. The second part of the poem says it all,
"To hear me talk you'd think I found my fate sad. Hardly that. All that has happened is I've hit a wall; disintegration is appropriate, ......
........ They're gathering shells again. And you in your straw hat, I see you now, As I lie restless yet most blessed of (wo)men."
So I'm not sorry for my self, (not yet, anyway!). I'm blessed by the life I have had, and the life still to come.
His rhyme structure is so subtle, so neat. The poem is a perfect thing.

The concept jewelry has is almost as stunning as physical jewelry is alone. A single piece of jewelry has the power to commemorate occasions, events and relationships. Expanding your knowledge about jewelry can make the buying and selling experience become more rewarding.
Make sure a piece of jewelry is still in style before you buy it. You will enjoy your jewelery even more if you can get it on sale.
Costume Jewelry
When collecting costume jewelry, pay close attention to the condition of any piece you are considering. Costume jewelry can prove to be a good investment, but also a costly one; keep in mind the pieces you wish to add to your collection don't show too much wear. A piece in good condition will be much more resourceful to you in the future.
You should try and wear the jewelery once to see if it will hang on you right. You'll also be able to get a better idea of the piece's durability.
Think about what stones you would want before you purchase a new piece of jewelry. Certain stones will do a better job of complementing your skin tone and your personality than others. Colors should be neutral so that they go with most of your outfits. Do not buy anything that you cannot wear.
Take careful consideration when thinking of how you want to care for the jewelry you purchase. Jewelry is composed of different stones, metals, and settings that all require different care to be properly maintained. Not all jewelry should be cared for in the same way. Talk with a professional if you aren't sure what sort of care each jewel requires.
Whether you buy, sell or simply own jewelry, you are making an investment in a commodity that is priceless – memories. All jewelry carries the weight of human emotions, whether they be a symbol of happy times or hopes for the future.

I've got a rotten head cold.
I thought I might share that with you.
Haven't sewn a stitch therefore. Have sat in a quiet corner and knitted some lovely cables. I find when I have a head cold, sitting quietly in the corner, with a nice movie and some knitting works wonders. It's almost medicinal. Medicinal knitting. I like the sound of that.
A few weeks ago I showed you my Nancy Halvorsen stars. You'll be pleased to know that it too is finished.
I'm thrilled to bits with this one. I was going to add another border around the outside as I had more precut squares to use up but I think this is just lovely as it is. And it's huge. I'm going to bind it in black and call it done.
I'm unsure why I'm leaning towards black homespun in things at the moment. I've another quilt on the go that also uses black homespun. I think it must be because we are heading into winter (though someone forgot to tell Mother Nature, it's been spring weather all week long here).
It was a ridiculously easy quilt to make, and I'll type up some instructions when my head clears a little.
Do you like it? I'm more than a little pleased with it, to be honest. I think it's destined to be a quilt we might actually use, rather than another flimsy in the cupboard. We'll wait and see.
Till tomorrow,
