My hostess for stamp club this month asked if we could something using one of the box dies for the bigshot. I had just recently received the Bitty box die so decided to try something with that. As I was looking through the new catalog, I came across this cute project on page 67. It shows using a different stamp set, but that's what's nice about the catalog, you can copy or just use it as a starting point for our own ideas.
So along with using this die for the first time, I also taught them to use the Circle Scissors Plus. To make the hole for the cupcake paper to fit in, all of the available circle punches were either too small or too large so I had to cut the hole with Circle Scissors Plus. They did great!
Other product used:
Cardstock - Lucky Limeade, Whisper White, Island Indigo, Real Red
Ink - Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo
Accessories - Bigshot, Bitty Box die, Circle Scissors Plus, Petite Pennant Builder punch, Crop-a-dile, Real Red Grosgrain ribbon
Well I think that is enough for that stamp set so when I find time to stamp again, it's on to another one which is a winter/Christmas stamp set. I hope you've enjoyed and were inspired by what you've seen so far.

Tribe almost makes history in win over Chicago
CHICAGO -- Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor continued to build his case for the American League Rookie of the Year Award on Wednesday night, flirting with a cycle and sparking the Indians to a 6-4 victory over the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.
Lindor belted his eighth home run of the season in the fifth following a triple in the first and a single in the seventh, and scored two runs to help ignite Cleveland's lineup against Chicago right-hander Jeff Samardzija. Lindor debuted six days after Astros rookie shortstop Carlos Correa, and both are leading candidates for year-end honors.View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor continued to build his case for the American League Rookie of the Year Award on Wednesday night, flirting with a cycle and sparking the Indians to a 6-4 victory over the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.
Lindor belted his eighth home run of the season in the fifth following a triple in the first and a single in the seventh, and scored two runs to help ignite Cleveland's lineup against Chicago right-hander Jeff Samardzija. Lindor debuted six days after Astros rookie shortstop Carlos Correa, and both are leading candidates for year-end honors.View Full Game Coverage
"I'm glad people are talking about him," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Lindor. "It gives us a chance to brag about him a little bit. He's playing very good baseball. He wasn't here at the beginning of the season, but from the All-Star break on, he's been as good as anybody."
Samardzija (9-12) took the loss after allowing four runs on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings, ending with five strikeouts and two walks. The White Sox belted a trio of solo home runs (Trayce Thompson, Tyler Saladino and Jose Abreu), and Thompson added an RBI single in the ninth, but it was not enough.
• Highs and lows for Thompson, all in one night
"If you're going to miss location, it's hard to keep it in the yard," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura. "That's been tough for him in the last couple [of games], being able to keep that in the yard and limit things."
Josh Tomlin (5-1) earned the win after giving up three runs in 5 2/3 innings for the Tribe, which finished its road trip with a 5-4 record. Jose Ramirez launched his second homer in as many nights, and Jason Kipnis chipped in an RBI double.
Cycle watch: Lindor sparked the Indians right away, sending a pitch from Samardzija to deep center for a triple in the first inning. He promptly scored on a groundout by Michael Brantley, and fell a double shy of Cleveland's first cycle since 2003 (Travis Hafner). Lindor flied out to the warning track in right field in the ninth in his final at-bat.
"I was just playing the game, having fun," Lindor said. "Ramirez mentioned something. He was like, 'Oh, come on. You've got a double in you. Let's go. You've got this.' When I was on deck, I wasn't thinking about that. I was just trying to keep the same approach." More >

Misplay proves costly: The Indians scored twice in the eighth to take a three-run lead when Chris Johnson singled to right and Thompson misplayed the ball, letting it roll to the wall, which allowed Lonnie Chisenhall and Abraham Almonte to score.
Video: CLE@CWS: Chisenhall, Almonte race home on error
First-inning woes: As he has much of the season, Samardzija struggled to escape the first inning unscathed. He allowed the triple to Lindor, leading to the Tribe's first run, and now has a 7.45 ERA in the first inning of 28 games this season, allowing opponents to hit .347 in the opening frame. He ranks first among qualified Major League starters in runs and hits allowed in the first inning. As a team the White Sox have been outscored, 94-65, in the first inning this season.
"I thought I made some big pitches and had some nice easy innings," Samardzija said, "and just got a little snake bit there with a couple of those homers that put us down one too many runs. Otherwise it would have been a different game there."
Video: CLE@CWS: Shark gets Johnson looking to end the frame
No way, Jose: Francona said that Ramirez "shocked everybody" with his mammoth homer on Tuesday night, a blast to left that measured 447 feet, according to Statcast™. On Wednesday the diminutive Ramirez led off the fifth inning with a shot that barely cleared the wall in center field. He now has four homers on the season.
Video: CLE@CWS: Ramirez bounces homer off top of wall
Homer happy: All three of the White Sox runs on Wednesday came on solo shots, highlighted by Saladino's and Abreu's back-to-back blasts in the sixth inning. Thompson also added one -- his third of the season -- in the second. In his six starts this season, Tomlin has yielded 10 homers (nine solo shots). Eleven of the 13 runs he has allowed have come via the long ball.
"That's an issue that I'm trying to correct," Tomlin said. "But I'm never going to shy away from contact from guys. That's not what I would do. ... I'm going to go out there and try to challenge guys and see what happens."
Video: CLE@CWS: Saladino launches solo homer to left-center
"Yeah, I just had my mind focused too much on the runner. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but you have to catch the ball first. It happens. It's going to happen again, I'm sure, in my career. It's just terrible timing." -- Thompson, on his error
"The dude's a stud. He really is. He's a stud. He plays the game hard. He plays the game the right way. He comes to the park prepared and ready to play every single day. He's showing more maturity than his age at this level. It seems like he gets better as the months and days go on. He's a fun player to watch." -- Tomlin, on Lindor
The Indians' two home runs in the fifth inning were the 25th and 26th long balls Samardzija has given up this season. That sets a single-season high for the seven-year veteran with a month remaining in the season.
Indians: Right-hander Danny Salazar is scheduled to take the ball in the opener of a four-game set with the rival Tigers at 7:10 p.m. ET on Thursday at Progressive Field. Salazar took on Detroit on Saturday and was chased after giving up six runs on eight hits in 3 2/3 innings. Cleveland has won 10 of its past 12 home games.
White Sox: After a day off on Thursday, the White Sox host the Twins in a three-game series beginning on Friday. Erik Johnson takes the mound for his second start of the season after allowing three solo shots in six innings his last time out. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. CT.

Two convicts recently released from prison may be looking at a big score, one that everyone seems interested in getting their hands on, in Lomax's crime novel.
Lawton Gibbs and Roy LaHood had once been such proficient burglars they were known as the Four-Minute Gang. But after they've both served time, for different transgressions, it's Roy's estranged wife, Roberta, who's got a gig lined up. She wants them to rob her boss, Ronnie Harrison. His safes, at home and in his gentlemen's club, are reputedly filled with millions. Lawton and Roy aren't keen on working with Roberta, but that doesn't stop others from hearing about the purported scheme. Sure enough, someone gets a hold of Ronnie's goods, and the inevitable accusations of thievery ultimately lead to more than one murder. The novel brims with criminals and seedy types, which Lomax offsets with his two sympathetic convict main characters. Lawton, for one, upon his release, meets up with elderly widow Kathy Johnson, whom he had essentially wooed years earlier—in the midst of burglarizing her home. The courts, meanwhile, reversed Roy's murder conviction based on the stand-your-ground law; he shot and killed a man beating Roberta. Most characters, however, revel in callousness, from club bartender and drug dealer on the side Marty Bannister to Lawton's perpetually contentious daughter Julia. There's a lot of stealing going on, but it's all gleefully diverting and never convoluted since it's generally clear, at any given time, who's got the loot. There aren't many surprises; double crossings, for example, can't happen when no one genuinely trusts (or likes) anyone else. But Lomax knows to keep the plot moving, despite a dialogue-heavy narrative. The clipped prose hums along, generating a blunt, edgy mood. A highlight is when Clarice, a dancer and Ronnie's live-in girlfriend, storms off from the unsavory club owner: "The bedroom door slammed. The front door slammed. Her car door slammed."
A heist goes bad in entertaining fashion.

15 Creative Deck Railing Ideas
Update the Traditional Lattice
Lattice is an often-used deck railing, and for good reason: It adds visual interest and provides a barrier, too. But if old-school lattice is too staid and traditional for you, try a personality-driven version that reflects your deck's style. Here, the Zen-like Asian feel of this deck gets a handsome accent with the repeating, floating squares of the top portion of the railing.
Built-In Comfort
While wood deck railing designs are usually chosen for aesthetics, this deck railing has a practical purpose. Instead of typical vertical slats, this design uses horizontal slats to create a backrest for a built-in bench. Surrounded by towering trees, this deck is a hub for gatherings made all the better thanks to comfy seating.
Supporting Role
In a yard where the landscape is the star, this deck railing design opts to keep in step with the other building elements rather than stand out. The white railing matches the home's window casings, both in color and scale. But the deck railing is hardly a shrinking violet: Accent balusters spaced across the expanse of the railing ensure it has substance.
Mix Materials
Even simple deck railing designs can add style to an outdoor space, especially if you employ a little creativity. Here, metal rods, instead of the typical wood slats, offer a color and material complement. Bonus: Oftentimes, metal may need less-frequent refinishing than wood.
Perfect Pairings
Opting for slender metal deck railings makes a thoroughly modern statement, but incorporating traditional wood elements creates a transitional design. Here, metal slats are run between top and bottom wood railings, with wide wood posts every few feet. The resulting installation balances modern minimalism with classic deck railing design elements.
Try Solid Materials as Railings
Our homes have become as individualistic as we are, which means rules about details, such as deck railings and decorating in general, may no longer apply. Mixing metal deck railings and other unconventional materials is one way to create a custom style. This contemporary-style house updated its deck railings with an interesting combination of metal and opaque, break-resistant panes of thick glass. The duo offers privacy but allows light through as well.
How to Choose Materials
Updating your deck? Learn how to choose the right materials with these helpful tips. Whether you're planning a new deck or a deck makeover, here's what you need to know to select the best deck materials. Explore different styles and find the look that's right for your home, budget, and lifestyle.
Work With Your Deck's Style
Local building codes determine the spacing and placement of railings and may offer some material guidance. But after you've met the building code requirements, you can exercise creative muscle for the design of the railings. This modern-meets-outdoors space gets its forward-thinking set of details from a mix of materials—thicker vertical supports, thinner horizontal metal deck railings, and stylish wood rail-top pieces.
Add Decorative Accents
End caps are one way to add a simple ornamental embellishment to what would otherwise be an ordinary wood deck railing design. Here, their style adds a bit of design "oomph" to the small deck. Another copy-worthy feature: The stylish but straightforward pattern inside the rails adds traditional flair to the space.
Try a Monochromatic Color Scheme
Some mixed-material decks use multiple colors as part of their design. But if your deck furniture already exhibits its own colorful exuberance, you may want to tone down your deck railings so they serve more as backdrop than focal point. This outdoor space, with railings made from man-made materials and wire, acts as supporting cast member to the creative collection of bright furniture, sculptural containers, and distinctive plants.
Use Deck Railings of Different Heights
The setup of your deck may influence your deck railing design. Shared side yards, for example, may demand more visual screening; that was the motivation for the tall trellis wall in this space, which is softened with a vertical cascade of vines. A more traditional deck railing offers separation between seating space and the rest of the yard, while a long container supplies a spot for interesting blooms.
Use Deck Railings as an Extension of the House
Many deck or porch railing ideas create a sense of separation from the rest of the home, either in orientation or materials. This house upends that rule, with a clever railing idea: using a design with tighter spacing and a horizontal orientation, which mimics the line of the home's other exterior materials. It's a clever twist that also gets its visual interest from varying widths of wood deck railings.
Forgo Wood for Another Material
Metal can be a great choice for a simple deck railing design that recedes into the background of a space. It's sturdy, needs less upkeep than wood, and can often provide structure, support, and protection with thinner pieces of material. Here, the homeowners added pretty end caps and a simple top rail, separated from the vertical pieces, for visual interest.
Become a Railing Magician
Even slight visual tricks can be enough to give your deck railings a one-of-a-kind feel. For example, create a pattern that goes against the monotonous feel of a rail-after-rail wood deck railing design—here, the homeowners decided on a set of three as the distinctive factor. Or, mix materials in the rail itself—one metal piece, one wood piece.
Skip Railings if You Can
For ground-level decks, building codes may require different, less extensive deck railings than for those above ground. That's why it's important to research your local ordinances and options, which can help to determine details that best fit with your home. This lush landscape remains the focal point of a narrow side yard, thanks to simple end-cap rails that blend in as nearly organic elements.
Play with Architecture
Curves and angles are great ways to play up a home's architecture. Particularly when the rest of a space is fairly ornate—here, carved pillars and heavy materials—light, airy porch railing ideas, like this curved design, can help provide visual and physical openness to the surroundings.

Nonsense In The Dark
The album starts off with the single we've all heard, This Rhythm, the pulsating beats and vocals of Late of the Pier's Samuel Duest make for a great track and a good solid start to the album. Elevator follows with its jumpy beats but subdued vocals, followed by my personal favourite of the album, What Happens Next which includes stabbing chords and a catchy chorus. You Better Stop feels reminisent of a recent Chemical Brothers track in places and feels as though it lacks something without any vocals to accompany the melodies. Messages is a perfectly crafted ode to 80's electro pop, contrasting with the second single from the album Tupac Robot Club Rock featuring Plastic Little rapping over the top, some interesting melodies and fantastic live drumming. Nonsense in the Dark feels like as if the Maccabees met an electronic version of the Cure, while Cul De Sac (one of the most boring tracks on the album) slowly plods along until we get to Light Skips Across Heart, which is a dark brooding turned electro pop tune. The rest of the tracks slowly pass by until we get to the final track, Somewhere At Sea, which is one my personal highlights, an electronic ballad which perfectly ends the album.
All in all, a pretty solid debut from the Kill Em All boys, it'll be interesting to catch their live show sometime soon, and definitely check out the album and see what you think.

My Point of View ( P.O.V ) : Of Late, I've been doing lots of things that barely gives me the time to sit peacefully, let alone read a book, but alas, I've found a little time and decided to finish the long pending lists of books that were piling up for review. Brutal is one such book, and I picked it up ( of the lot ) as it looked quite interesting at first glance itself. I'm always up for some thriller, and the good words about the book by another author ( a thriller writer himself ), right on the cover of the book, sparked up my interest instantly. The fact that it is a crowd-voted & curated book, was another factor. Indeed, its publishing concept is unique and one of a kind. Hope it brings great many books into the fore, in times to come. About the book, I loved the way the author kept my eyes glued to its pages via its many intriguing twists and turns, as the protagonists ( who have their own set of demons to tackle ), went about trying to solve a complex murder mystery. The story has sub-layers in it, but its all woven well which makes it a rich reading experience. For a debut, the author has done a neat job - so full marks on that. The amount of research he must've done, shows. The story is very believable and characters etched well. The book is divided into 3 separate parts and I feel certain parts towards the end though could've been done away with, to make the book more compact and impactful. All in all its certainly a good thriller! Grab the book if you haven't yet. PS : I'll add more into the review.
Positives : A well written, fast paced and gripping thriller, not to be missed.
Negatives : None.

Girl Afraid
British author Sue Limb tackles the perils of being a teenage girl.
Adolescence is a challenge no matter which side of the Atlantic you're raised on, but for British teen Jess Jordan—the protagonist of Girl Nearly 16: Absolute Torture—the summer before her sweet sixteen is a veritable disaster. Not only is she trapped on a tedious road trip with her mum and grandmother, but she's miles away from her secret boyfriend Fred with only a dying cell-phone and her nagging insecurities to keep her company. The drama only deepens when Jess, whose parents split when she was little, discovers her dad has a secret boyfriend of his own. The follow-up to UK author Sue Limb's teen lit sensation Girl 15, Charming But Insane, Absolute Torture deftly handles adult themes like sexuality, family dysfunction and even death, while still channeling that mad rush of emotions that comes with being a teenager.
"I wanted to write something sophisticated," Limb says from her home in the south of England, "because I think teenagers are quite more sophisticated than people give them credit for. Your passions are so extreme. Your brain is so fresh and new." As Jess juggles various relationships and personal crises—including the possibility that Fred is cheating on her with her best friend—keen readers will detect a hint of Jane Austen with a Judy Blume sensibility. "And a bit of Shakespeare, as well," the author admits with a modest laugh.
Limb says while Absolute Torture is fiction, she drew on life experiences to help craft her characters. "[Jess] is a bit like my daughter Betsy, who was 17 at the time I wrote the book," Limb explains. "I liked the idea of a girl who was outgoing but insecure. Jess is not gorgeous, but she bewitches people with her wit." Though Limb did have a friend who got divorced and came out of the closet, she says it was a different sort of relationship that inspired the character of Jess' father. "My godmother was gay, though it was never discussed with my parents--even when I was older," says Limb, who saw her as something of a role model. "She was more prosperous and free. She and her girlfriend had all kinds of adventures and traveled the world."
If Absolute Torture were written in the States, we might expect protests against the gay-inclusive book from right-wing "family" groups, but Limb says there's been "no negative feedback" to the book's initial release in Britain. (It was picked up by Random House's Delacorte Press imprint last fall). "We don't really have the assertive kind of fundamentalist groups that you do in the States. Liberal values are fairly de rigueur."
Even more surprising than British audiences' reaction to the gay character is the reaction of Jess herself. She's tickled, well, pink. "It's brilliant! It's so cool!" she tells her dad. "Wait till I tell all my friends! They'll be so jealous!" While such a positive outlook might be a bit optimistic even in an enlightened England, Limb wanted to send a message of support to queer youth and children of gay parents. "I try to avoid being heavy-handed, but ultimately it's important to show positive role models," she says. "I wanted people who don't know gay households to see that it's not a problem."

|Mema and Sawyer reading (she is the only person he will sit still with long enough for this to happen)
Instead of her usual cardioversion procedure that she's had a few times before to regular her heart rate, her cardiologist chose to do an ablation where they actually use "radiofrequency energy" (kind of like microwave heat) to destroy a small area of her heart that is causing the irregularity in her rhythm. They were hoping this would result in a more long-term fix for her versus having to have so many cardioversions.
Everything went as expected and she came through the procedure fine with her heart bopping to the right beat. But then I got a scary, scary phone call around 9pm last night.
Mema took a turn for the worst and her heart rate had plummeted to the point that nurses and doctors were having a hard time even getting a blood pressure reading on her. She was rushed to the CICU and was in critical condition until they finally got a central line put in and the right medicine dosage to return her heart back to a better rate.
The scariest part about this? She could have been home when all of this happened and therefore might not be with us today.
You see, Mema was supposed to come home from the hospital yesterday since she was doing so well. We all got a little angry when they waited to late to order her an oxygen machine so she didn't have one in time to be discharged and had to stay another night.
But the Lord knew what he was doing. Here we were so mad that she had to spend another night in the hospital and she ended up being right where she was supposed to be.
If she had been discharged and was sitting at home when this happened, even though my mom was was going to be spending the night with her, there is a very, very small chance she would have made it to the hospital and an even smaller chance that she would have lived.
God works in mysterious ways and I am so grateful that he is in control.

Three students, Kate Sayers, Owen Doran and Sean Daly from IT, Tralee have been named winners of the Engineers Week third level challenge. The week, which took place in February, is organised by Engineers Ireland to celebrate engineering and highlights the possibilities a career in this profession can offer.
Kerry County Council put forward the challenge to stimulate a cycling culture in Tralee by constructing a bicycle pump track at Camp in Ballyseedy. The students were given two weeks to identify, plan and design a bicycle pump track which would reduce dependence on car travel and encourage local commuters to switch to cycling for everyday journeys.
During Engineers Week the students presented the team's proposal to the judging panel which comprised of local representatives directly involved in developing and maintaining infrastructure in the community. The judges, John Flynn, Director of Services, Kerry County Council, John Sheehan, Senior Executive Engineer and Colm Lynch, Executive Engineer, Tralee Town Council assessed the proposal based criteria including on community impact and inclusivity, feasibility, design and communication plan.
John Power, Chartered Engineer, Director General of Engineers Ireland congratulated the winning team and commented, "Engineering graduates continue to have real career options and the demand for engineers of all backgrounds is rising in Ireland, especially in the IT, energy and biomedical areas. Opportunities are open to engineering graduates because organisations always need problem solvers. Congratulations to the three students who won this challenge and I wish them the very best of luck with their engineering studies and future careers."
John Flynn, Director of Corporate Services, Kerry County Council who set the task and sat on the judging panel said about the students and their entry: "It was really useful; they had done great research and presented the project very well. We asked them a number of challenging questions which I hope they found useful in preparing them for a real life presentation in their future careers. It was a really worthwhile exercise and has further cemented the close working relationship we are developing with IT, Tralee."
Dr Joseph Walsh, Head of School Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics also congratulated the students on their success and commented, "The Institute is very proud of our three Engineering students who presented a well-constructed and planned project for Kerry County Council. The School of STEM is delighted to be involved in Engineers Week which celebrates the engineering profession, grows awareness of engineers in the community, and showcases engineering as an exciting and diverse career option for students."
Six teams from engineering courses in third-level institutes around the country took part in the challenge which saw six county councils set specific assignments to overcome issues facing the local community.
Engineers Week 2014, which took place nationwide in February, saw a host of volunteers, schools, teachers, third-level institutes, students, parents and the general public in Kerry take part in the week long programme of events run by Engineers Ireland to celebrate the world of engineering in Ireland.

text: This is the first time since the Long Beach Imprinted Sportswear Show started…which I believe was back in 1978…that I have not attended. This is the 40th Anniversary of the Imprinted Sportswear Shows! Congratulations to everyone at ISS. It's not that I don't want to be there, but I'm currently recovering from knee replacement surgery. I'm going to be back in "walking action" soon and pain-free for the first time in many years. Truly amazing but still a long way to go. In the meanwhile, I'm able to share some photos sent to me from Long Beach with all of you. As usual, it's a busy show and the Stahls' booth was immediately crowded as soon as the show opened. One of the biggest draws was the new Fusion IQ. Fusion IQ is now standard on all Hotronix heat presses. What is it? It's advanced, wireless technology that provides your business with production insights into job and operator performance, allowing you to make more proactive, data-driven decisions in real time. You'll be able to track the performance of each press operator and understand how much time it takes to press a garment. With this information, you can adjust your production capacity and eliminate mistakes before they happen. No one else in the industry offers this level of technology–it's going to be a game changer–especially for shops with high-production volumes and multiple presses. And the presses are ready to ship. Most of the floor models sold immediately. For those of you that are unable to attend this year, like myself, I'll be posting a recap of the show early next week with more pictures and more feedback from our team members there.

Although the laminate itself came out ok, to my dissapointment the leading edge of the board has a much too big radius. I didn't take into account enough the thickness of the 3 layers C: to get the profile right I should have shaped the leading edge much more precise than I did.
I don't feel ready to throw away the rudder. Instead I'm busy shaping the leading edge again, this time hopefully right, and then re-laminate the front end of the rudder. Because I have to remove almost all the glass from the front till the carbon uniderectional, the carbon won't be totally enclosed by C-glass anymore (I mean: the layers under and above the carbon are not connected to eachother anymore on the front side), so the rudder might be less strong. I'll take the risk.

The environmental quality directly affects total health and well-being. When you walk into a room or building, can you feel the energy? Does it make you feel refreshed or bring you down and depressed? Whether you're sensitive to the environmental quality or not, the energy-quality will have a direct impact on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Indoor environmental toxins are not limited to chemical and biological substances. It also includes the quality of your site, architecture, interior, envelope and landscapes. Colours, shapes, sounds, and orientation also influence health and environmental quality.
For centuries, buildings were designed with nature's own design laws, a holistic approach that we have forgotten in the past few decades. Today there is a need to become one again with nature, and as the green building industry moves forward on a sustainable path, it is acceptable to add more dimensions in architectural design.
Today's modern technology and advanced communication capabilities has saturated our indoor environments with a new form of harmful pollution termed Electromagnetic Fields, also referred to as EMF. The ability to stay connected with people all over the world in an instant and collect information with our gizmos and gadgets has blinded most of the population on the dangers of wireless radiation due to the high concentrations in most homes, offices, and all other buildings.
EMF are all around in the built environment in different forms and come from a number of sources including electrical wiring and devices, wireless communication, energy-efficient lights, devices, and appliances. It can radiate into the indoor environment from indoor sources, or can be transmitted through building materials from outside sources from cell towers, roof top antennas, smart meters, electrical distribution wires, and more.
Scientists and medical doctors all over the world have identified it as the newest indoor environmental pollutant or toxin that has saturated the atmosphere of developed nations causing a variety of adverse health effects similar to sick-building syndrome symptoms and more. Unfortunately, there are currently no international consensus on guidelines and exposure limits. Canada and the U.S. have the highest safety limits in the world. It typically takes policies and regulations a decade or so to catch up on the scientific research on health – remember how long it took for cigarettes to leave the building?
To read more on the health effects visit www.bioinitiative.org for a 1500 page report written by medical doctors. It is also available in a condensed 26 page version.
Based on thousands of epidemiological and laboratory studies, many international governments have adopted the prudent avoidance principal or precautionary principal until research and government policies are on the same page.
Prudent avoidance is a precautionary approach to reduce potential risk to the general public through reasonable efforts and can vary among countries, governments, and local authorities as to the extent of action to be taken. In general, you would try to take a low-cost to no-cost approach to reduce the risk of adverse health effects.
What people need to understand is that all this modern day technology and communication devices are great, but it comes with a price and that is your health. According to a United Nations Report , approximately 6 out of 7 billion world population have access to a mobile phone which is more than people without proper sanitation. So you might wonder why has the government not set stricter safety limits if it's so harmful? The answer is simple – our safety limits are outdated and it takes decades for scientific research to find definite mechanisms that link directly to adverse health effects like cancer.
In Canada, Wi-Fi or wireless communication uses microwave radiation and is governed by safety guidelines in Safety Code 6 (SC6). This standard was developed based on thermal effects (heating of tissue) for a 6-minute duration for a full grown man (200lbs, 6 feet) and was tested on a dummy head filled with electrolyte solution. It was originated from naval military radar research over 40 years ago – this was not tested for children, pregnant woman, or everyday people for more than 6 minutes. These safety limits do not consider biological or long term effects on the human body which is naturally electrical and absorbs radiation.
The safety guidelines vary considerably internationally. For example, Switzerland guidelines are 1 microW/cm2 and in Canada it is 1000 microW/cm². In Russia, exposure to 1000 W/cm² (SC6 guideline safe limit) is accepted for only 15 minutes a day. In Canada, children are exposed to high radiation levels all day at home and now in schools. The recommended safety limit in the Bio-Initiative Report (2012) is 0.1 microW/cm².
Just think of a microwave oven as a pressure cooker because it uses a higher radiation intensity, and our planet and indoor environments as a slow cooker because wireless technology uses less intensity. We may not see it, smell it, or taste it, but it is still has an impact on your health. Some people who are hyper-electrosensitive can even feel it and affects their quality of life. Children are most susceptible because it absorbs deeper into their body and can interfere with their development.
Bottom line, it just makes sense to use common sense and precaution. On a positive note, technology and communication devices CAN be used safely. You don't have to give it all up – you just have to use it smarter and safer.
To learn more about how to use integrate low EMF exposure strategies in your home or office just us a call or register for one of our upcoming courses. Click to register for The Next Generation in Green Building Design – in Toronto TBD.

How to Spend the Perfect Day in Grapevine
We're breaking up the monotony of yet another Dallas weekend and heading to the 'burbs. Surprisingly, we're not going to Frisco, Plano or McKinney. Pack your purses accordingly, ladies: We're driving 26 miles northwest to Grapevine. And this is why.
Spoiler alert: Grapevine has great wineries. Our favorites just so happen to be a part of the Urban Wine Trail and include Delaney Vineyards and Winery, Messina Hof Grapevine Winery, Homestead Winery and Grape Vine Springs Winery. There are a handful of others as well as GrapeFest in September, Hallo-Wine Trail in October and the Christmas Wine Trains in December. Who knew?
Grapevine has a darling historic downtown with fantastic food that we bet most of your friends have never heard of (but won't be able to forget). Start your morning with a cold brew and a pastry at Re:defined Coffee House, enjoy lunch by the water at Big Daddy's Ship Store & Deli and end your afternoon at Great Scott, where the charcuterie boards are works of art.
OK, sure. Everyone knows Grapevine for its outlet malls. And while that is all well and good, it's not everyone's cup of tea. We recommend checking out specialty shops like the Willow Cottage Boutique and Soapery, Little Orange Fish and Grapevine Olive Oil Company. You'll never dip your bread in anything else. Ever.
Lake Grapevine is a whopping 8,000 acres, giving you plenty of room for boating, water-skiing, fishing and even stand-up paddleboarding. Sam's Dock and Black Watch Sailing Charters are the go-to spots for boating fun, while DFW Surf will hook you up with everything from SUP yoga classes to wake-surfing lessons.
If you plan to have a little too much fun on that happy-hour boat cruise or wine tour, you might consider renting one of the many adorable Airbnb properties in Grapevine. This is just precious.

Abstract: A soap bubble is a metastable object that eventually breaks. Indeed, thesoapy water film thins until rupture, due to drainage and evaporation. In ourexperimental investigations, floating bubbles at the surface of a liquid bathhave been considered. Their lifetime has been measured and reported withrespect to their radius. Large bubbles last longer than small ones. Moreover,small bubbles have more predictable lifetimes than large ones. We propose ageneral equation for that lifetime, based on the lubrication theory. Theevaporation is shown to be an essential process which determines the bubblelifetime.

TOKYO (CBS.MW) -- Tokyo share prices moved lower Tuesday as investors took sidelines ahead of this week's U.S. Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
The benchmark Nikkei Average lost 116.32 points, or 0.60 percent, to close at 19,423.38. The bottom line was supported by investors' enthusiasm for new investment trust funds starting this week in Tokyo.
The dollar is little changed against the yen and trading recently at 107.32 compared to107.35 yen in New York late Monday, where it rose as high as 107.55 yen -- its highest since Oct. 15.
Australia's All Ordinaries Index closed down 11.50 points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,084.50 after opening higher: The bottom line was supported, however, thanks to the heavyweight News Corp. NWS, -1.42% 1.9 percent gain.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rebounded 72.53 points, or 0.47 percent, to 15,604.87, after plunging more than 4 percent Monday. The index at one point rose as as high as 15,764.40 points following Wall Street's higher close overnight.

Even though Tesla has been the first successful electric car manufacturer, they are not going to be the last. More and more manufacturers are always trying to join the ranks but not many succeed. In the past few years though there have been major breakthroughs in battery technology so manufacturers like Porsche or Jaguar are trying to come up with interesting electric cars. One of the latest is the 2018 Jaguar I-Pace, a car released back in November 2016. So far it is nothing more than just a concept but Jaguar actually says it is ready for production. The car is a brand new vehicle which has absolutely nothing in common with any of its siblings.
The platform
For this model Jaguar designed a bespoke platform which is actually a fully modular skate-like chassis. This houses the batteries inside the wheelbase of the car and it features two electric motors. The chassis is incredibly stiff and it is actually part of the car's body. Instead of using steel, Jaguar went for an all aluminum construction.
This allows the car to be relatively light for what it is without sacrificing any rigidity. The production model is expected to hit the market in the early 2018. Unfortunately the price has yet to be released. Most rumors suggest a starting price close to $90,000 which is also where the equivalent Model X would be. While it is a rather large amount of money, we wouldn't doubt Jaguar considering the 2018 Jaguar I-Pace looks considerably better than its main rivals.
The design
Even though this may be just our opinion, pretty much everyone who saw the car in November thought it was absolutely stunning. Jaguar didn't go for crazy falcon-wing doors or anything too unusual. Instead they created what it seems to be the coupe version of the F-Pace. The I-Pace sports the perfect proportions with a really aggressive, yet subtle design.
The front end is definitely that of the Jaguar crossover but the rear of the car seems a lot closer in design to the F-Type coupe. This mix of design notes makes for one of the most beautiful crossovers to be showcased to date and that is not an easy feat. Thanks to the fact it is more than 4 inches lower than the F-Pace and its incredibly slippery body, the 2018 Jaguar I-Pace features a 0.29 drag coefficient which is very good for this type of car.
The interior
Jaguar's prowess can also be seen inside the cabin where the I-Pace looks finished. The car features a fully digital instrument cluster as well as a massive widescreen border-less touch-screen for the center stack.
It sports a very similar steering wheel to Jaguar's other sports cars but the tall cabin makes for a slightly more vertical experience. Thanks to having a flat floor, the center stack seems to be floating in mid air while in between it and the floor there are numerous storage spaces.
The powertrain
So far Jaguar showcased a single engine option for the I-Pace. The car will feature two electric motors that will offer a combined output of 395 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.
This is actually less than the Model X.However, thanks to a really advanced cooling system, Jaguar said that they can extract a lot more power from their batteries without overheating.
This also means that, despite having less power, the car might be faster than some its rivals.
Jaguar said that the 0 to 60 MPH time is 4 seconds while the car will be able to offer a range in excess of 220 miles.This is quite impressive, especially since the battery pack is considerably lighter than what is currently available.

The most important part of riding a bike is safety. There are many laws Lincoln has put up to keep cyclists safe.
- Lincoln requires that cyclists stay to the far right-hand side of the street as possible. This is for our own safety, because it leaves more room for cars to pass on by.
- Cyclists are also supposed to yield to pedestrians just like cars.
- A new rule that Lincoln is enforcing is walking your bike across the cross walk of a street. This rule was made because some people can lose their balance and fall off their bike in a busy intersection. It is just safer to walk your bike across.
- The city of Lincoln expects everybody to obey all traffic signs and signals. Cyclists should also ride single file, so that they don't take up the whole road.
- Lincoln also requires all bikes to have working breaks.
- It is also illegal to ride a bike with more people then it is designed to carry.
- It is also illegal to chain your bike to a fire hydrant because it might prohibit fire fighters access to the hydrant.
- A rider must always signal his turns, using the appropriate turn signal.
These are the laws that Lincoln has, but there are a few more safety tips that I would like to give you.
- Always wear a properly fitted helmet. Most people choose to not wear one because they are a good rider, but a good rider can always get hit by a dangerous or even drunk driver. In that case a helmet will save your head from smashing into the ground.
- Always ride with two hands on the handlebars. Goofing around is a good way to crash your bike.
- Always wear reflective clothing so that drivers know you are there.
- Try to avoid road hazards. A simple thing like a stick can throw you off your bike.
- Try to avoid riding at night when possible.

This is probably the funniest toy book I've ever read. Like many of us who were transfixed as a kid by Star Wars and the Kenner toys, Kurt Vonn Gutzman and his brother start off innocently enough buying Star Wars figures or receiving them as gifts. Then, as the pressure grew to Collect All 93, five finger discounts became common.
It is a hysterical journey of two brothers trying to collect them all. I really like the icons they made for each character.
Collect Them All costs less than $2 at Amazon.

Hi I'm Cyndi
I grew up in Kentucky, but live in Utah. I play the piano. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am married to an amazing man who works hard to support our little family. We have a beautiful baby girl who is growing up too fast. I am a stay at home mommy and I love it! I enjoy doing crafts. I love to play the piano! I enjoy watching my baby girl bang on the piano keys and smile while doing so. My family takes up all my time and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Why I am a Mormon
We all live in a world that is always changing. This church is the one thing in my life that is always constant. I can always rely on it. I am Mormon because it brings peace into my life. It helps me when I need comfort. It gives me friends when I really need it. I stand out because I am Mormon; people know I am different, I love that. I am Mormon because it provides me with the guidelines to live by to help me be a better person so that I can return to live with my Heavenly Father.
How I live my faith
I live my faith by small things that I do everyday. I visit other women in my church and see how they are doing. I take time every day to pray, read my scriptures, and to focus on the things that really matter. I am trying to become the kind of person that Christ wants me to be.

Libya wants more time to update ICC on Gathafi's son
THE HAGUE - Libya has asked for three more weeks to mull the possible handing over of ousted leader Moamer Gathafi's son Seif al-Islam, after a deadline to inform the International Criminal Court expired on Tuesday.
The ICC Registry said it received a letter Monday in which Libyan authorities asked "for an extension of the time limit to submit their observations regarding the arrest of Seif al-Islam".
"Due to the security situation on Libya, the Libyan authorities are not able to meet the deadline and respectfully request the chambers to grant an extension for an additional period of three weeks," the letter said.
The court's judges on December 6 called on Libya's new leaders to inform them as a matter of urgency if and when they intend to hand over Seif and set a January 10 deadline for a response.
"It is up to the chamber to rule on the Libyan authorities' request (for a delay)," ICC spokesman Fadi El-Abdallah said.
The ICC issued a warrant in June for Seif on charges of crimes against humanity over the conflict in Libya, but after his capture the National Transitional Council said it wanted to try him on Libyan soil.
Seif, 39, who was arrested on November 19 -- almost a month to the day after his father was captured and killed -- is now in the custody of the military council of Zintan 180 kilometres (110 miles) southwest of Tripoli.
Human rights organisations have called on the Libyan authorities to grant him access to a lawyer, but said he appeared to be held in good conditions.

Oh man, have you got things right! I completely hear you sista'. I have also recently discovered a more relaxing pace in my life since the growing season ended. What I realize is that this is probably a lot more 'normal' than we think. Somewhere along the way women, men, children, all people were suddenly expected to be superpeople without a moment of spare time. Not cool in my books. I now think that productivity REQUIRES space to come to be. And banging your head against the wall repeatedly is just silliness. I look forward to anything your quiet self comes up with over the next while. Until then, enjoy the space.ReplyDelete
Yay for things unfolding slowly! :-)ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you had a good time in spain and came home again, I was kind of worried you would fall so madly in love with it that I would get a call saying you were never coming back here. Which I would be 100% behind, but so incredibly jealous at the same time.ReplyDelete
A wonderful blog post again my lovely. x
- Anonymous8 January 2012 at 12:27
Happy New Year to you all x Glad you all had a lovely time in Espana. Your blog post actually just has made me worse for missing all that we had last year in Spain for those wonderful 8 months. More determined to get back to warmer climates :-)ReplyDelete
Spain was fab but wouldn't live there myself, think I'd get homesick in no time! I love to travel but haven't been anywhere abroad yet that felt like it could be home - maybe just haven't found that magic place yet! Or maybe we are destined to be rolling stones..... :-)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9 January 2012 at 17:18
I haven't found that magical place yet either but hope that will happen very soon because I'm tired of being a rolling stone right now. Not sure I would live in Spain permanently but I would certainly choose Spain during the winter over the Fens during the winter! Each to their own eh!? xReplyDelete
Winter in the fens is kinda grim..... i hear ya!ReplyDelete

Mercedes And Ferrari's Brand New F1 Engines Sound Meaty
There's not long to go until the latest generation of F1 cars are launched and the two top teams of last season have already fired up their 2018 contenders
The opening grand prix in Melbourne may not take place until 25 March, but the 2018 F1 season really starts to kick off in earnest over the next couple of weeks. Williams will become the first team to launch its new car on 15 February, with the other teams launching theirs over the days leading up to the first pre-season test, which gets underway in Barcelona on 26 February.
The two teams that fought it out for glory last year, Mercedes and Ferrari, are both launching their cars on the 22nd, and have already fired up the engines to make sure everything is in order.
Mercedes will be hoping the W09 can give the team its fifth consecutive season of championship success. On the other hand, Ferrari has gone almost a decade without a title - can its new car end the drought, or perhaps another team entirely will end up claiming glory come the end of the year? Either way, the hype is building!

I bet you didn't know you could bake hard boiled eggs right!!
You can!
So… preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a muffin tin, put one egg in each muffin tin. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. When they come out of the oven place them in a big bowl of cool water to cool down. I then store these in an air tight container in my fridge and pull them out when I need them for lunches or snacks. Super easy and less fuss than boiling a pot of water! Set it and forget it… until the oven time goes off:)
***If you are following the 21 Day Fix, 2 hard boiled eggs counts as 1 Red Container! ****

The Walt Disney Company has promoted 25-year company veteran Thomas Staggs to chief operating officer, in a move widely seen as positioning the executive to succeed current CEO Bob Iger.
When Iger was named to lead the company in 2011, it was planned that he would only hold the chief executive position through March 31 of this year, after which he would continue as executive chairman for an additional 15 months, through June 30, 2016. Whether that timeline remains in effect is unclear.
Staggs is currently chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and will continue to lead that division until a successor is named.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the appointment ends a five-year succession battle between Staggs and current chief financial officer Jay Rasulo. Rasulo did not renew his contract with Disney when it expired at the end of January, and it is widely believed that he will leave the company.
"Tom is an incredibly experienced, talented and versatile executive who has led Parks and Resorts during a time of unprecedented growth and expansion, including the construction of Shanghai Disney Resort," says Iger. "His proven ability to lead a business as well as his successful tenure as Disney's former CFO make him an ideal chief operating officer, expanding his portfolio into all the company's businesses."
Disney Consumer Products is the world's largest licensor, encompassing the Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, ABC Television and ESPN brands in addition to core Disney properties.
Disney's senior management team, including all business segment leaders, will report jointly to Staggs and chairman and chief executive officer Bob Iger, with the exception of the chief financial officer, general counsel, chief communications officer and chief human resources officer, who will continue to report directly to Iger.
Staggs has led the global Parks and Resorts team since 2010. In addition to overseeing the development of Shanghai Disney Resort and a new Avatar-themed land at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park, during Staggs' tenure, Disney has launched two new cruise ships; opened Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, in Hawai'i; added three new lands at Hong Kong Disneyland; doubled the size of Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom; and completed a multi-year expansion of the Disneyland Resort with the addition of Cars Land and Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure Park.
Prior to that, Staggs served as senior executive vice president and chief financial officer of The Walt Disney Company, playing a critical role in the acquisitions of Capital Cities/ABC, Pixar Animation Studios and Marvel Entertainment.
Staggs joined Disney in 1990 as manager of strategic planning and held a series of positions of increased responsibility, leading to his appointment as chief financial officer in 1998. Before joining Disney, he worked in investment banking at Morgan Stanley & Co.
"It's a privilege to step into this role, and I am humbled and honored by the opportunity. Ilook forward to working more closely with Bob and the talented senior management team across the company to continue to build Disney's future through unparalleled creativity, innovative technology and global expansion," says Staggs.

Bath Spa University Creative Writing MA
The MA in Creative Writing is concerned with imaginative writing, which includes novels, short stories, poetry and script-writing. The emphasis is upon encouragement, to help you to find and pursue a direction in your writing, and to understand the process of offering a manuscript for publication.
Because of the reputation of the MA in Creative Writing, we are able to recruit excellent students who, every year, form an exciting and mutually supportive community of writers. Frequent visits by other writers, literary agents, publishers, broadcasters and other professionals connected with writing ensure that students are given plentiful advice about how to place work and make decisions about their careers as writers.
Programme Structure
Course structure
The course is for writers for children of all ages, from the picture-book age through to adolescent and 'crossover' writing which aims at markets among adults as well as young people. Though prose fiction is likely to be the main area studied, students will have the chance to look at writing in all forms, including poetry, picture book texts and non-fiction.
The course supports students to create a significant body of writing, with practical plans for its place in the real world of publishing. It is based on the principle that most writers learn and benefit from working closely with their fellow writers, in a disciplined supportive setting, and with tutors who are practising and published writers in their field.
- Writing Workshops: In the first semester's writing workshop you will explore a variety of formats and approaches, gaining a sense of the different age- ranges and forms. This is also an introduction to the writing workshop experience which is the heart of the course. In the second semester's workshop you will be asked to choose your area of writing, and use the workshop's feedback and encouragement to explore it in more depth. Full-time students take one writing workshop in Semester One and one in Semester Two. Part-time students take one workshop each year.
- Context Modules: Each full-time student takes one of these in the first semester and one in the second semester. The first semester's context module, Writing for Young People: Forms, Ages and Stages, is concerned with the writer's relationship with their audience, a sense of the history of and issues raised by children's writing. The second semester's module looks at Contemporary Children's Publishing, and aims to give a realistic grasp of the choices open to new writers in the field. Part-time students take one of these context modules in each year of study.
- Manuscript: This is the development of a manuscript as near to publishable quality as possible. It is supported by tutorials with a manuscript supervisor. It may be a novel, a book of stories, a collection of poems or picture book texts.
Course assessment
The assessed coursework for each Writing Workshop is a folder of creative writing. For the first Context Module the coursework is an essay of approximately 2,500 words and a folder of creative responses. The second context module is assessed by a portfolio of writing tasks connected to the children's publishing industry, including two book proposals. The manuscript is 35,000-40,000 words, or the equivalent in poetry or picture book texts.
- The CAE test – or the Cambridge Advanced English – is an exam for applicants who wish to get a Certificate in Advanced English. To receive the Advanced certificate, test-takers must score between 142 and 210 on the Cambridge English: Advanced test.
Note: degree programmes and applications may require a more specific minimum score for admission.

StudyPortals Tip: The UK government has confirmed new English-language testing requirements for visa and immigration purposes. Learn more
- We offer places on the basis of our assessment of the student's quality, potential and commitment as a writer and their ability to benefit from the course. Normally, but not invariably, a student will have a degree.
- Applicants will need to submit a short piece of creative writing for young people with their application form: for example, six poems or two short stories or not more than 20 pages of a novel.
- We select applicants for an interview before making an offer of a place on the course.
