A little peek into the Halloween bundle
My favorite of the downloads this month is the Halloween bundle. I love creating sketches with a specific theme and these were a lot of fun. I think the specific theme makes it a fun challenge for me and I end up exploring some ideas that I might have otherwise passed over or never thought of. I'm looking forward to this being a regular feature each month!
1. There are two sketches that feature witch hats: a two-page sketch and a one-page sketch.
2. The printable page has words, titles, and quotes that you can cut out and add to your projects. There are a lot on this 8-1/2 x 11" piece in a variety of sizes!
3. There is a printable witch hat template to create the witch hats for the two sketches they are featured on.
4. The step-by-step illustrated embellishment PDF has seven pages of embellishments. There are layered pumpkins, hand drawn pumpkins with stitched accent, witch hats, a stitched spider web, paper spiders, brad spiders, ghosts, twine lollipops, and a hand stitched swirled lollipop.
5. There are three sketches that feature ghosts: a two-page sketch, a one-page sketch, and a card sketch.
6. The Halloween quotes PDF has two pages with 26 spooky and fun Halloween quotes.
7. There are three sketches that feature pumpkins/jack-o'-lanterns: a two-page sketch, a one-page sketch, and a card sketch.
8. The Halloween titles PDF has two pages with over 100 titles for any Halloween layout.
9. There are two sketches that feature lollipops and candy: a two-page sketch and a one-page sketch.
More details:
• There are three sketches that feature spiders: a two-page sketch, a one-page sketch, and a card sketch.
• The sketches don't have to be limited to just Halloween. You can easily adapt and alter them to fit any theme.
• In total there are 5 two-page sketches, 5 one-page sketches, and 3 card sketches.
You can download/purchase the bundle by clicking here.
Be sure to check back later this week! I'm going to share a layout I've created based on one of the Halloween bundle sketches. :)

(Carlos Macias)
"Don't drink and drive." It's a phrase you hear time and time again and one that the wife of a husband whose life was taken by a drunk driver, won't stop sharing.
EL PASO - It was a normal sunny afternoon, when Carlos Macias, 51 was suddenly struck by a drunk driver on his way home from work.
The drunk driver walked away from the fatal crash unharmed, while Macias's lifeless body lay on the ground.
(Barbara Macias stand next to portrait of her husband Carlos Macias)
13 years later, Barbara Macias of Victim's Legacy shares the tragic event that took her husband's life with Western Tech students in hopes to prevent driving-while-intoxicated incidents.
With a knot in her throat, Barbara begins her presentation with a news broadcast video and images of the incident that occurred on the intersection of Hawkins and Montana in 2005.
"Every time I pass through this area, I can still visualize his body lying on the ground." Said Macias who believes DWI related deaths are not treated as violent crimes in El Paso.
Macias's frustration has been increased by the fact that the drunk driver, Ben Baca, was only given 10 years in jail and is set to be released this year before the holidays.
Although drunk-driving fatalities have fallen by a third in the last three decades; drunk-driving crashes continue to claim more than 10,000 lives per year.
On average, 29 people in the United States die in alcohol-impaired vehicle crashes everyday—that's one person every 50 minutes according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"This is a problem that is preventable," says Macias. "I'm not saying not to drink but please have a plan."
Victim's Legacy was formed to help address the issues in El Paso with drunk driving and is also working to put together a network of individuals that can be called upon to offer support when someone receives the news of a family member having been killed in an accident.
For more information about prevention and support, call Barbara Macias with Victims Legacy at (915) 252-1076

It's my first canvas, nothing special just a simple work easy to stitch, made with the intent to calm my mind; no difficult threads to use, no complicate stitches to made, only coloured cotton floss and a up and down needle going throught the canvas.
Still have to sew it as a little heart shape cushion.
And a new stand, built with the help of my husband that sometimes is patient enough to support the crazy ideas of a maniac stitcher.
Have named it Totem, it's a mix of various elements seen here and there in other stands available on the market; I wanted something really stable and firm, so something heavy ! and versatile to the various kind of embroidery. It can support professional slate frames and also hoops, the sizes are no more a problem.
And after the money spent for the Lowery workstand and the Edmunds floorstand I said: "do it yourself ! " with a strong beech wood and oly 50 €.

The traditional Seven de Mar del Plata carries with it extra importance this year due to it being the year of the Pam American Games. The event in the Argentine beach resort town involves three separate tournaments, two of which are determining the final participants in the men's and women's sections Toronto 2015 while the third is crucial preparation for the upcoming Sevens World Series international competitions in Wellington and Las Vegas. Decision time in Mar del Plata will be tomorrow. At which time the final two places for both the men's and women's divisions of Rugby Sevens at the 2015 Pan American Games will be determined. There will also be a champion from the international competition which features test sides from both North and South America yet could be won by a local Argentine side.
On day one in Mar del Plata Brazil and Chile led the way in the men's section as both country's went undefeated. Brazil started with a 19-15 win over Paraguay and followed it up with an impressive 31-5 victory over Colombia before competing to a 7-7 draw against Chile. The Chileans had won their first two matches against Colombia and Peru by scorelines of 33-5 and 47-5.
The remaining men's fixtures will be played on Sunday. They are to be Brazil v Peru, Colombia v Paraguay, Peru v Colombia and Chile v Paraguay. Later on in the day there will be the Cup Final which is to include the top two sides, thus putting the two Pan American Qualifying against each-other.
In the women's division there are seven competing countries compared to five in the men's. Despite having been included Venezuela's men's team is absent from the competition. The women's team is , however, involved. Venezuela's women's team had a very impressive day in Mar del Plata as it won all three matches by defeating both Colombia and Uruguay by scorelines of 10-5 and also knocking-over Peru 26-12.
Not competing from South America was Brazil due to the women having secured qualification by winning the 2014 South American Games in Santiago. Venezuela is therefore very well placed to obtain one of the two qualifying spots. The other remains open due to day one results that saw Paraguay and Peru winless but the remaining teams all victorious.
Argentina defeated Paraguay 24-0 and Chile 41-5 to also be well placed while Colombia's 12-7 and 36-0 wins over Uruguay and Peru mean Venezuela's neighbor is another that could finish in the top two. The strength of Chile and Uruguay in men's rugby was, in other words, not replicated by the women.
The third competition, the international event, featured understrength teams from Argentina, Canada and the USA and id showed as upsets occurred with all losing unexpectedly. Canada started the day with a 19-10 loss against Uruguay before also losing against both Mar del Plata and the invitational Litoral 7s team.
Mar del Plata also defeated the USA 12-10 and Argentina 14-5 while the Litoral 7 side defeated Uruguay 10-0. In the remaining matches Argentina defeated the USA 29-12 and the Litoral 7 by 33-5 while the USA won a tight match 15-12 against Uruguay.

The effective antimicrobial Bordered foam dressing With Safetac technology How Mepilex Border Ag works Mepilex Border Ag is an antimicrobial all-in-one foam
dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and
maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer
seals the wound edges, which prevents the exudate from
leaking onto the surrounding skin and minimizes the risk
of maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing
can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding
skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.
Mepilex Border Ag inactivates wound related pathogens
within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days.
By reducing the number of microorganisms,
Mepilex Border Ag may also reduce odor.
Benefits of Mepilex Border Ag
Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
Effective, sustained release of silver
Self-adherent - no secondary fixation required
Shower proof
May be used under compression bandages
Promotes patient comfort during wear
May remain in place for several days depending
on the condition of the wound
May be lifted and adjusted without losing its
adherent properties
Low potential for skin irritation and allergy
Areas of use
Mepilex Border Ag is designed for medium to high exuding
wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, partial
thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds, where a
moist environment, exudate management, gentle fixation
and antimicrobial action is indicated.

It's crucial that a range of experiences -- from remorse to hope -- are heard and understood in all nuances, no matter the political outcome.
Openness Shouldn't Be Used to Create Abortion Debate
Aspen Baker is the founder and executive director of Exhale, an organization that provides a supportive, respectful culture for people to discuss their abortion experience. She is on Twitter.
Updated June 30, 2013, 7:01 PM
When I had an abortion it was safe, legal and covered by health insurance. I had no horror story to tell of a scary back-alley procedure, and I had no heartfelt regrets.
But the facts didn't begin to describe my experience of having an abortion. My story was one of challenge and triumph, heartache and loss, friendship and family, and so much more. I wished I could have talked about it, without my story being used to promote abortion rights or to help dismantle them. Instead, I wanted to join with others to create a conversation rooted in the diverse, complicated lives of the women and men who'd experienced abortion.
That conversation is starting to happen. More women, and some men, are sharing their intimate experiences in private and public ways. One result is that the myths and stereotypes of who has abortions are beginning to crumble in the face of true stories. Another result is that women and men who've experienced abortion are now able to find and connect with each other. Feeling supported and comforted after an abortion, instead of isolated and alone, goes a long way toward healing and well-being.
But, sharing abortion stories isn't all warm and fuzzy. There are real risks for the woman and for this emerging conversation about abortion in our lives.
A woman who shares about an abortion experience with family or friends can put her relationships in jeopardy. And, while social media can connect people by spreading stories quickly, a woman can lose control of her story – and her message – as it moves across the Internet. These risks can be mitigated with community support, but it's hard to build community without first taking a risk.
My worst fear is that our personal stories will become commodities in the political marketplace, casualties in the conflict over abortion that get repackaged to benefit one side or other of the debate.
That's why it's so crucial that the full range of personal experiences women and men have with abortion -- from remorse to hope -- are able to be heard and understood in all their layers and nuances no matter the political outcome.

"It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about." – Dale Carnegie
We're all prone to putting ourselves down from time to time. We may tell ourselves a few discouraging words about what we see int he mirror, how we performed at work, or the impression we think we made in a social situation. When that negative self-talk becomes habitual, we're setting ourselves up for a poor sel-image, and even depression: if everything we do is a failure, why bother trying to do anything? That attitude can lead to withdrawal, and retreat into food, alcohol, or other addcitive self-soothing behaviors. And that will surely lead to more negative self-talk.
If you find that you frequently burden yourself with discoraging words, it's time to break that habit. Start by simply observing your thoughts and the way you talk to yourself. Once you learn the nature of your negative self-talk, you can begin to reality-test those negative statements. Ask yourself the following questions:
1) Is this self-statement really true, and if so, is it true all the time?
2) What evidence do I have that this thought is true?
3) What are the costs and benefits of believing this?
4) Am I looking at the whole picture?
5) Would I say this to a friend?
6) Is this statement at all useful – that is, can it lead to an action plan to make improvements, or is it just a put-down?
As an example of this last question, "I'm a loser and no one will ever like me" is a dead-end, useless statement. "I'm not happy with my social life and I'd like to do something about it" is reasonable, and it gives you something to work with.
Negative self-talk is useless, and it holds us back rather than motivating us to move forward. Change your thoughts and you can change your life.

The earliest known human activity on the island dates back to around the 10th millennium BC. Archaeological remains from this period include the well-preserved Neolithic village of Khirokitia, which has been declared a World Heritage Site with an "enhanced protection" status in the event of armed conflict by UNESCO, along with the archaeological sites of Paphos and the Painted Churches of the Troodos Region. Cyprus is home to some of the oldest water wells in the world.
Cyprus was settled by Mycenean Greeks in two waves in the 2nd millennium BC. As a strategic location in the Middle East, it was subsequently occupied by several major powers, including the empires of the Assyrians, Egyptians, and Persians, from whom the island was seized in 333 B.C by Alexander the Great. Subsequent rule by Ptolemaic Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Byzantines, Arab caliphates for a short period, the French Lusignan dynasty, and the Venetians, was followed by the Ottoman conquest in 1571. It remained under Ottoman control for over three centuries. Cyprus was placed under British administration in 1878 until it was granted independence in 1960, becoming a member of the Commonwealth the following year.
In 1974, following the intercommunal violence between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, an attempted coup d'état by Greek Cypriot nationalists and elements of the Greek military junta Turkey used this as a pretext to invade the northern portion of the island. Turkish forces remained after a cease-fire, resulting in the partition of the island; an objective of Turkey since 1955. and 50,000 Turkish Cypriots, and the establishment of a separate Turkish Cypriot political entity in the north. These events and the resulting political situation are matters of ongoing dispute.
The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters, except for the British military bases of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. However, the island is de facto partitioned into two main parts; the area under the effective control of the Republic of Cyprus, comprising about 59% of the island's area, and the Turkish-controlled area in the north, calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and recognised only by Turkey, covering about 36% of the island's area.
Cyprus is the third most populous island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of its most popular tourist destinations. An advanced, high-income economy with a very high Human Development Index, the Republic of Cyprus was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement until it joined the European Union on 1 May 2004. On 1 January 2008, the Republic of Cyprus joined the Eurozone

The story begins in 1629 Shizuoka during Tokugawa Tadanaga s rule. The daimyo staged a tournament where the participants fought with real steel Japanese swords rather than bokken, against his vassals strong objection. The story revolves around the first match between the one-armed swordsman Fujiki Gennosuke and the blind samurai Irako Seigen and deals with the circumstances that led the two to participate in Tokugawa s tournament.

This Chess Olympiad was especially notable for the debut of the Soviet team, who won their first gold medals and went on to completely dominate the Olympiads for the next four decades.
Although the Soviets won the gold medal, it was not as easy as they might have expected. The team consisted of Keres, Smyslov, Bronstein, Geller, Boleslavsky and Kotov. Keres' score of about 50 percent was disappointing, but the rest of the team made up for his poor showing.
This event saw a change in the old format of playing two rounds per day and the adjournments were, this time, held the following morning. The teams were divided into three groups of 8 and 9 with the top three of each group qualifying for the Finals.
Because there were no Elo rating in those days, a jury seeded the teams at their discretion and their decisions were often held in dispute. The 25 teams were divided as follows:
Group 1) Argentina ahead of West Germany, Czechoslovakia, England, Denmark, Cuba, Iceland, Saar, and Luxembourg.
Group 2) Sweden ahead of Hungary, Yugoslavia. East Germany, Austria, Italy, Brazil and NorwayGroup
Group 3) Soviet Union ahead of the United States, Finland, Israel, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland and Greece.
The US team consisted of Samuel Reshevsky, Larry Evans, Robert Byrne, Arthur Bisguier, George Koltanowski and Hans Berliner.
The finals consisted of just 9 teams and turned out to not be a very good idea. Apart from the inconvenience caused by the odd number of participants, nine teams were way too few because the gain of a single point from a blunder might play relatively important role.
The Final A section was a tough fight. The Soviets started moderately, beating Hungary and drawing with the American team. Finland beat West Germany but were down the table because of a bye at the start. Yugoslavia earned valuable 3-1 win over Hungary in round three. Most of matches were either draws or 2.5-1.5 so the standings were not very clear and whether a team already had a bye or not further clouded the issue. In fact, at the halfway point, the Soviets were in sixth place.
The US team (which had a bye in the last round) was undefeated until the seventh round when they unexpectedly lost to Sweden (Stahlberg, Stoltz, Lundin, Skold, Johansson and Danielsson) which knocked them out of contention for a medal.
Georgia's chess blog has an amusing anecdote about this Olympiad HERE.
1) Soviet Union 21.0
2) Argentina 19.5
3) Yugoslavia 19.0
4) Czechoslovakia 18.0
5) United States 17.0
6) Hungary 16.0
7) Sweden 13.0
8) West Germany 10.5
9) Finland 10.0
