Sam Brought Home a Bird
I first thought he was out of his mind. He assured me it was his bird and he was going to take care of it. He called his buddy Jason last night to get tips on how to prepare the bird. Jason is an avid outdoorsman/food network junkie/hunter extraordinaire. He is also a lawyer but that is beside the point. He gave Sam some mad tips on how to prepare and stuff the bird.
Sam set out to thaw the thing last night. He was supposed to be changing the water every 30 minutes but he never did:
He spent the next 12 hours teasing me about the neck and gizzards.
He came home early from church today (because he "is sick" and he needed to babysit his bird.)
He took these pictures on his phone of the bird stuffed with apples and oranges and rubbed down with oil and salt and pepper. Impressive:
I came home from church to the smells of Thanksgiving dinner. About 5 hours later, this bad boy came out of the oven:
The unglamourous refuse from the bird (most had already been dumped:)
The finished product (have I ever mentioned we ain't fancy?) Do you like the Crescent rolls on paper towels..classy:
Sam and I stand behind the bar to eat and the kids sit at the bar. Just how it is at our house. I prepared all the side dishes (from boxes and frozen bags!) Thanks Sam--I didn't think you had it in you but it was a darn good bird and I will be eating turkey sandwiches for weeks.
note-I can't believe I posted this after all of your posts with pictures of your beautiful Thanksgiving feasts. I know how trashy this whole operation was..but that's how we roll.

I would like to get some tips from you both on how to go about my Christmas Dinner prep... Cos that turkey spread looks both delicious AND hassle free. Well done to both of you!
PS I am having a shocker of a day - and this post helped - just a little bit so thanks Brooke ;-)

I am floored. I don't know the first thing about cooking a bird. This is the second most impressive thing a husband has ever done next to Tyler sewing Halloween costumes. And while you are not fancy it is impressive that you had all those sides on hand and were able to produce a Thanksgiving feast on a moment's notice. We had mac n cheese tonight.

Like Ashley and her "ugly" house, I feel like you sold me a rotten bill of goods about your allegedly ghetto dinner. That spread looks great!!
Sam--good work on The Bird! Lance loves his handiwork around this time of year. I have a feeling we're going to have a smoked Christmas ham. On a related note, he's now chanting "I want pie! I want pie!" so I better run and point out where the fridge is.

This is totally how we roll at our house too, I'm so, so happy to see that we're not alone!
We haven't ever made a whole turkey before (I'm officially impressed) but we bake crescent rolls, use stove top stuffing and stand at the counter to eat as well!

wish i had a picture to prove it to you...but Braden and I ALWAYS stand at the counter while the kids sit at the bar stools...every meal works like that! and we ain't fancy smancy at ALL! good to see a girl after my own heart!
p.s. can i tell you how excited i am about that baby again!!!!!!

As I stood over the poultry at Harmon's, I had an epiphany. The Bird called out to me, and at that moment, I knew what must be done. I was going to cook that Bird old school so that Luke & Sammie would know the magic that comes from cooking a buzzard.
It was a little nasty, having never handled a Bird before. I taunted Brooke with the neck and giblets. But it actually turned out pretty well.
And Ashley, with all due respect, I don't see how preparing/cooking/carving a large piece of meat can come in second behind sewing. Sewing? So should I take up cross-stitch or quilt-making next?

that looks yummy! good job goes out to your husband. i am seriously impressed.
don't feel bad if your plates weren't pretty! my plate settings started out somewhat cute and my {lovely} children ruined them. oh well! at least i love them.
i hope you had a great thanksgiving!

As always... good for a laugh! I am not sure who is funnier...Brooke or Sam. My kids wont let me give up the thanksgiving tradition. cook cook and cook. Stan would go out. But, this year was easier. I delegated parts to everyone and I enjoyed myself. Funny how people go out for dinner and come home and cook the same meal!
I would suggest sitting though. |You deserve the break.

Ashley, Gravy was from the envelope--mixed with water. I refuse to mix the "juices" with cornstarch and flour into gravy. That grosses me out.

I just think it's funny you did all of this AFTER Thanksgiving. :)

Whoever doubts that computer gaming is an art-form should play Planescape: Torment.
Words simply fail to describe the perfect symphony of brilliant ideas, immersing story, beautiful environments, mesmerizing music, fun gameplay and detailed coding that made this game an unsurpassed classic!
To this day, I have yet to meet anyone who has played it and not raved about it.
NamelessOne and his companions are characters that will stay with you forever. The graphics may seem a bit outdated nowadays (they are the same as the first Baldur's Gate, they share the same Infinity engine); however, true RPG gamers know that graphics are not an aim in itself.
This is clearly not a new game but it is the review I wanted to fire my Blog off with.
Do do not expect an exploding eye-candy or a fast-paced game (try YouTube to check out whether this may not be your cup of tea). One has to let himself get lost in the world of the Planes and the doomed city of Sigil. Their magic shall always stay with you.
This used to be sold out game and could only be found in old stock houses and eBay. Count yourself lucky and treat yourself to this gem. Trust me, this is a game you must experience during your lifetime.

|A sudden pop of BTC price on 3 Sep 2016
A Quick Side Trip into the Past
All the solid run-up in prices in the past all seem to associate with some events. Like the most recent one that i mentioned in my article about my 1st Bitcoin Purchase, and Halvening where the BTC price run-up was caused by the Halvening and, to a lesser extent i think, Brexit.
In the greatest price spike of all time in Bitcoin so far when it peaked at a dizzying height of over $1132 back in late 2013, it was caused by the positive feedback from US Congressional Hearing on Bitcoin. This was followed closely by the opening of OKCoin exchange in China (as of today, it's the biggest BTC exchange in the world by traded volume of some 16 mil BTC / m). These 2 events basically gave big positive endorsements and boosts to Bitcoin in its infancy. One by the US government, and the other by Chinese government. The 1st and 2nd biggest economies in the world. It's little wonder the BTC price did a moonshot.
|Data as of 8 Sep 2016 (click photo to enlarge)
Chinese BTC community has been the biggest since the opening of OKCoin. 94% of Bitcoin are traded in CNY.
BitCoin ETF
What about this time? One could only make educated guesses. One of this could be the talk of potential setting up of a ETF that's based on Bitcoin such as SolidX ETF. But the successful listing of such etf is going to do a lot more for the BTC price than what we have seen so far. Is it coming close to being finalised? I don't know. It's probably not too early to set up for such an eventuality.
U.S. Dollar Collapse
Just as i received some newsletter regarding the Bitcoin's halvening 2 months ago, a few days ago, i received newsletter with the title "D-Day for the U.S. Dollar". Like the halvening newsletter i received, (this one is written by Jim Rickards. Or more likely by a copywriter on his behalf) it also has a date: Sep 30, 2016. Good newsletters need to have a date to produce a sense of urgency in the readers to subscribe the newsletters.
The Sep 30 date is the CNY's inclusion into SDR (read up my article SDR, Alternative Currencies, China, and the Collapse of U.S. Dollar). The newsletter ad said something like, "...the US Dollar is going to collapse beginning on September 30."
Not that i believe in this alarmist statement, but i wonder how much of this fear would spur the BTC price, which always benefited from any financial and/or political fear. Remember that Bitcoin was created in its political ideology, in no small part, as a protection / alternative against fiat currency in general, and USD in particular. (Gold also benefits from this. I believe this is the cure that James Rickards would dispense). So i don't know how much of the price rise is attributed to this gloom and doom message.
Bitfitnex Heist
After the Bitfinex hacking, sentiment of Bitcoin suffered a slight dent. BTC price continued to drift lower for a little while afterwards. The news had slowly faded with time (at least, it's receiving less negative headlines). In fact, there're some positive headlines with Bitfinex of late to the lost customers' fund of late. This should give Bitcoin a bullish sentiment boost.
Technically Driven
Perhaps, there's no particular fundamental reason other than a technical one. And i believe this is the most likely driving force.
|Bitcoin price chart from late 2013 to 2016 showing trend lines (in red).
Bought my 1st Bitcoin on late August 2016 as marked on chart.
If you look at this chart, after a correction since the all-time (so far) peak in late 2013 to early 2015, and then consolidated sideways for some 6 months, we have been on a rising trend since late 2015. When i bought my 1st Bitcoin a few weeks ago, while i didn't physically draw trend lines on a chart like this, i mentally drew them by eyeballing it. Because i'm only putting a small sum into Bitcoin, i didn't bother to try to be precise. Suffice to say that i imagined my entry price is very close to the uptrend line. Unless it beaks below the uptrend line (which i believe it wouldn't any time soon), i suspected that it would bounce off from the uptrend line once the price gets near it. I think that this is what happening right now.
I'll be keeping a very close eye on the chart when it gets to the previous high of $768.
This reason isn't exciting, but comforting for the Bitcoin holders because it's nice confirmation that the uptrend in BTC price is still in place.
Up, up and away!

Looking back at 2011, how did it differ from 2010, or 2009? And how will we distinguish it from 2012, or 2013?
2011 is a prime number, divisible only by itself and one. Everything else, to the eccentric mathematicians among us, is peripheral. So having gotten that out of the way, we can focus on politics.
1. Steve Bach becomes the city's first "strong mayor" ... or is he? Hate to rain on your parade, Mr. Mayor, but the city's first strong mayor was John Robinson, who served in that position from 1899 to 1902. During his term, Colorado Springs became a "city of the first class" under state rules. The city's annual report noted that Mayor Robinson, who received an annual stipend of $1,200, "has the right of veto of all bills that carry money appropriations, and has the power of appointment for policeman, fireman, etc." Alas for future elected officials, that form of government was replaced in 1924 with the city manager model.
1A. Ultra Resources buys Banning Lewis Ranch for $20 million, seeks de-annexation, wants to drill for oil and gas and forget development. City, county, and real estate industry react with a single voice: WTF??!! With a single check, Ultra may have rendered inoperative the city's conventional wisdom about future growth, about the Southern Delivery System, about tax policy, about infill development, about ... well, everything.
2. Douglas Bruce forms an ultra-right City Council candidate fivesome who run as the "reform" ticket. The group, which includes Bruce, aging gadfly Ed Bircham and three other folks with conservative convictions but little political experience, manages to split the conservative vote. Incumbent Councilor Sean Paige is ousted, tolerant firebrand Jan Martin is overwhelmingly re-elected, and the city is blessed with a moderate, thoughtful body that would be at home in Denver, Boulder or Fort Collins. Thanks for the hard work, Doug!
3. Speaking of Mr. Bruce, his conviction in a Denver court on four counts of tax evasion may finally end his long and colorful career in state/local politics. But don't count on it — cunning and resourceful, Bruce has come roaring back from political exile before. Think Richard Nixon, think Newt Gingrich, and remember the lyrics to "Hotel California": "They stabbed it with their steely knives / But they just can't kill the beast."
4. Swept into office by a business/conservative/moderate coalition, Bach quickly realizes that his 58-42 victory gives him a free hand to govern as he wishes. Some backers want him to dismantle the city's regulatory structures, while others expect him to shrink costs and shed employees. Instead, he moves cautiously, building a young, energetic crew to help lead the city. He creates and empowers Solutions Teams to "reinvent service delivery (in times of) limited budgets." Interestingly, three of the four teams are headed by liberal stalwarts, including former mayoral candidates Richard Skorman and Dave Munger.
5. Once again, county commissioners wind up divided. Attacked for supporting a 2010 term-extending measure disguised as a term-limitation vote, Commissioners Amy Lathen, Sallie Clark and Dennis Hisey close ranks and beat back Peggy Littleton and Darryl Glenn in their bid for a comprehensive revote. The result: Lathen runs the county. And if you don't believe me, ask departing County Attorney Bill Louis.
6. Reapportionment — ain't it grand? Republican vs., Republican: Amy Stephens vs. Marsha Looper, Owen Hill vs. Larry Liston. Get ready for a good, old-fashioned, intraparty donnybrook, culminating next spring at the county GOP assembly. In that first race, my money's on Stephens — never bet against Republicans named Amy (as in Lathen).
7. "Yesterday upon the stair / I met a man who wasn't there." That'd be former Mayor Lionel Rivera, who has vanished from public life.
8. Mitt Romney comes to town for a very private fundraiser hosted by El Pomar Chair Bill Hybl. One thing to consider: Hybl hasn't remained the most powerful man in southern Colorado for the past 30 years by picking losers.
So that's it until 2017 — the next prime number year.

How can you defeat that recurring sin that may have plagued you for years?
Want to know how to defeat recurring sin, and not just to defeat it temporarily, but once and for all? Well I have had good news for you: That recurring sin (or sins) can be totally vanquished by the power of God's Word – but it will take some effort on your part. So how do you do it? How can you defeat that recurring sin that may have plagued you for years? The answer is so simple, that I need to warn you not to dismiss it because of its simplicity. The way to defeat recurring sin……..is to read the Bible. Hold on, before you tell me that you're already reading the Bible, allow me to be more clear:
To defeat recurring sin you need to read the Bible on a daily basis.
The prescription for recurring sin is……
Not just any passage though – although obviously the whole Bible is beneficial – but for the purpose of defeating recurring sin, I want to direct you to one chapter in particular: Romans chapter 6. The way to finally, once and for all, totally defeat recurring sin is to read Romans chapter 6 at least two or three times a day for twenty one days. "Why twenty one days?", you may ask. The reason for saying twenty days, is because it has been established that it takes a period of twenty one days to change a habit (and slightly longer to form a new habit). Let me put this in medical terminology:
The prescription for recurring sin, is to take (i.e. read) Romans chapter 6, two or three times a day.
However, unlike with medication, there is no danger of overdosing if you read more than three times a day. In doing so, you will build up a resistance – an immunity – to recurring sin, until you find that it no longer has any more hold over your life.
Our old man has been crucified with Jesus.
I could stop there, having already given you enough information to defeat recurring sin – if you are prepared to put the effort in. Before we do conclude however, let's take a look through some of the key verses in Romans chapter 6. For this I will be using the J.B. Phillips translation. The chapter begins, in verses 1-2, with words that make it absolutely clear that grace is not a licence to sin: "Now what is our response to be? Shall we sin to our heart's content and see how far we can exploit the grace of God? What a ghastly thought! We, who have died to sin—how could we live in sin a moment longer?" Verses 6-7, explain that our old man (as the King James Version puts it) has been crucified with Jesus and should therefore be considered to be dead, and consequently free from the power of sin: "Let us never forget that our old selves died with him on the cross that the tyranny of sin over us might be broken—for a dead man can safely be said to be immune to the power of sin".
Paul gives very clear instructions that we are not to yield any longer to sin.
In verse 11 Paul encourages us, "Look upon yourselves as dead to the appeal and power of sin". How can sin have any appeal to, or power over, a corpse? The obvious answer is that it can't! When we died to sin, we were made totally new creatures, 1 Corinthians 5:17 in The Living Bible puts it this way, "When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!" It is this new life, that the second half of Romans 6:11 refers to: "But alive and sensitive to the call of God through Jesus Christ our Lord". Then, in verses 12-14, Paul gives very clear instructions that we are not to yield any longer to sin: "Do not, then, allow sin to establish any power over your mortal bodies in making you give way to your lusts. Nor hand over your organs to be, as it were, weapons of evil for the devil's purposes. But, like men rescued from certain death, put yourselves in God's hands as weapons of good for his own purposes. For sin is not meant to be your master—you are no longer living under the Law, but under grace". Notice that Paul says that sin is not meant to be your master. This is not just about resisting sin, this is about actively rebelling against sin and stubbornly refusing to allow it to be your master. In verse 16, Paul explains that we need to make a choice. We will either serve sin, or we will serve God – it's either one or the other: "You belong to the power which you choose to obey, whether you choose sin, whose reward is death, or God, obedience to whom means the reward of righteousness".
There is power contained with the pages of the Bible.
In this article we have looked at certain verses in Romans chapter 6, but let me restate the prescription. Read Romans chapter 6, in it's entirety, at least two or three times a day, for twenty days and recurring sin will be defeated. How can I say this with such confidence? Because I know that there is power contained within the pages of the Bible and that when you put God's Word to work, in faith, it will produce results.

About the ChallengeLearn More About the Healthy Kids Community Challenge
The Healthy Kids Community Challenge (HKCC) aims to improve the health and wellbeing of children by promoting the development of healthy eating and exercise habits. 32% of Canadian children are overweight or obese, and these conditions tend to persist into adulthood, which is why it is so important to develop healthy habits in the early years.
To address these health issues, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) created the HKCC. The MOHLTC has provided funding for 45 communities across Ontario to support initiatives that reduce the prevalence of and prevent childhood overweight and obesity. Participating communities collaborate with local partners to develop community based programming that promotes healthy lifestyles for kids.
Toronto, being a highly diverse community presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Many assets already exist in the community, including food co-ops, community kitchens, sports facilities, after school programs, etc. Through the HKCC, community organizations and multi-sector partners are coming together to expand, connect and build upon these programs, making resources more accessible to all people in the community.
We have run several programs already such as activity tub rentals, and a Fun Fair in Dentonia Park, and have been so excited about the positive response received so far. It has been great fun to welcome kids from the community to participate in a range of activities, all while promoting healthy living. We are so excited about many new programs coming up – please visit the events calendar for more information, we would love for you to join us!

Big guns ready to fire as La Liga reaches halfway point
Madrid, Jan 16: The Spanish football season reaches its halfway point this weekend with a crucial set of matches that could prove to be important tests for the top three teams in the La Liga points table.
Due to their King's Cup commitments Thursday, the top three teams - Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid - all play their 22nd round of matches Sunday, reports Xinhua.
Real visit struggling Getafe
League leaders Real Madrid make a short trip south of Madrid to face a Getafe side who needs to avoid another defeat in order to stay away from the relegation zone.
The arrival of Quique Sanchez Flores as coach to replace Cosmin Contra has so far failed to kickstart Getafe's season, although they did qualify for the last eight of the Cup Wednesday with a scrappy win at home against Almeria.
Iker Casillas will return in goal for Real, who will look to overcome the disappointment of their Cup exit against Atletico, while defender Pepe would be out of action for two or three weeks with a rib injury.
Fresh Barcelona squad face Deportivo challenge
Barcelona travel to the far northwest of Spain where they play Deportivo la Coruna. Coach Luis Enrique was able to rest key players in his side's easy Cup win Thursday, so fatigue should not be a factor for strikers Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.
The Barcelona coach would be hoping his side could replicate last weekend's 3-1 win at home against reigning champions Atletico. Barcelona have been criticised heavily for indifferent form this season amid reports of insurgency against the coach, led by team talisman Messi.
A repeat of that performance should silence the criticism labelled against the team for some time, but a repeat of the display that saw them lose to Real Sociedad a week earlier, would plunge the club back into crisis.
Atletico, fresh from knocking Real out of the Cup, would look at their home match against Granada to bridge the gap between them and the leaders.
At the bottom of the table, Granada, after crashing out of the Cup Wednesday, desperately need to win against the title holders for their coach Joaquin Caparros to keep his job, having been on a winless streak since September.
The weekend action kicks off Friday when an improving Cordoba entertain Eibar.
Real Sociedad, who are gradually improving under new coach David Moyes, will face visiting Rayo Vallecano Saturday.
Valencia will look to recover from the shock of their Cup exit at the hands of Espanyol when they face Almeria.
Villarreal are another side enjoying a good season and would hope to take advantage of Athletic Club Bilbao's poor form. Espanyol take on Celta Vigo, who need a win to leave fears of relegation behind them.
The weekend ends Sunday with a relegation zone battle between Elche and Levante, while Seville face Malaga.

I was there to replace an APU oilpump and perform an A-check.
There is almost no access for the replacement of the oilpump when the APU is installed at the Aircraft.
In Norway I vent to a rescue helicopter hangar, to see their pride : )

The agency stated that the phones may be confiscated from passengers trying to take them onboard, and that individuals found onboard with the telephones might face fines.
Nevertheless, his newest govt order to ban travel to the USA from seven Muslim nations crushed our my hopes. Searches dropped significantly following the travel ban in 103 of the 122 nations for which Hopper has information, with a median drop of 22 p.c. That govt order sought to ban admission to the United States of citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations – Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Iraq – for 120 days and to droop entry of all refugees indefinitely.

when i was first laid off and attempting to cut our grocery bills, i realized very quickly that you can't go from 100MPH to 5MPH in just one month. in other words, it can be challenging to reduce the rate of spending rapidly and dramatically – and then expect to sustain that reduced budget over time.
for the first 2 months of our new budget, i missed my mark. yes, i was reducing my overall spend from pre-budget days, but i couldn't hit the budgeted dollar number i set for the total month. i was really frustrated. i only had one more month to figure it out before there was no more wiggle room.
i talked to a few friends and my husband and realized that building my stockpile was slowing my performance. however, i knew that in order to sustain a reduced grocery and household budget, i had to build up a stockpile of certain goods. by purchasing (at very low prices) and stockpiling the core non-perishable foods and household goods that your family needs, you can reduce your future spending significantly since you never have to run out and buy these items at full price.
if you want to save money, specifically on groceries and household items, it can be easy… you just have to know what you're getting into. i wish i had been better prepared for the challenge of cutting back, but i am also glad i took the time (and money) to build our stockpile as it is one of the reasons i am able to be home with my kids now.
here is how i ramped down: at first, i was buying our "need to have" items and stockpiling as much as possible through promotions, price-matching, sales and coupons. each week, the amount i needed to stockpile was declining. after 2 months, we FINALLY had enough in all categories that i am now in stockpile maintenance mode and only add to my stockpile with a fantastic deal.
in terms of actual numbers and time to goal: i spent only 10% less compared to when i was working. the second month, i was down 32%. the third month was the clincher… i was down 55%. when the baby goes off a formula in 7.5 weeks (yes, i am counting the days), i am hoping to get us over the 60% mark.
i found there was a bit of a mental challenge to learning to live on a budget. if you haven't done it before, you can "convince" yourself that you should have certain things… things you don't truly need. i encountered this early on and have been able to get myself out of that mindset. if i need a sounding board, i run it by my husband who is also quite frugal – and he keeps me on track.
if you're in the first few weeks/months of trying to reduce your spending and not having the successes you were hoping for, stay positive and stay focused. it may take a few months, but the diligence will pay off and it's so worth it.

The redeemer will redeem by sacrificing his life
Russell Shaw
The story of the temptation is not simply about the discerning of a vocation but about discerning a vocation correctly and living it in the manner God intends. This is a matter of importance for everyone, but it's especially important for people who think of themselves, not without reason, as already being more or less pleasing in the eyes of God.
It would be like telling the story of World War II and leaving out Hitler. That's what telling the story told in the gospels would be like without taking account of the devil. He and his evil companions are a sinister presence throughout.
The gospel narrative concerning what might be called the first Lent is testimony to that. I mean the 40 days Christ spent in the desert before launching into his public career. At the end of it, Satan appears and proposes three famous temptations, recorded in the narratives of Matthew and Luke.
Turn these stones into loaves of bread.
Throw yourself down from the peak of the temple and be rescued by angels.
"Fall down and worship me"--Satan, that is--and in doing that become ruler of all the kingdoms of the world.
A mysterious episode, to say the least. What's it all about? Many things, no doubt, but one thing stands out--vocation. And here it has much to tell us about ourselves.
Jesus goes into the desert in order to engage in vocational discernment. Yes, he knows he is called to be messiah, redeemer. But exactly how?
Satan offers not just one possibility but three: Be a messiah who makes people feel good by satisfying their physical wants (stones into bread); or be a messiah who awes people into submission by astonishing feats (hurtle down from the heights of the temple and let angels bear you up); or be a messiah in perhaps the most obvious way of all--pay homage to the devil as the price of worldly power and glory: be a kind of vicar of Satan on earth.
Jesus' answer to all three proposals is an unequivocal no. These are not ways of being messiah as his Father intends. According to the divine plan, the redeemer will redeem by sacrificing his life. And that is the sort of messiah Jesus chooses to be because it conforms to the will of the Father.
"All very interesting," someone might say, "but what does this story of demonic testing have to do with us and with modern day Lent as we experience it?"
That, too, has many answers. One in particular strikes me. It's along the following lines.
The story of the temptation is not simply about the discerning of a vocation but about discerning a vocation correctly and living it in the manner God intends. This is a matter of importance for everyone, but it's especially important for people who think of themselves, not without reason, as already being more or less pleasing in the eyes of God.
The big danger for people like that is that, even though they do indeed see and accept God's call, they may grow complacent over time--slightly off-track, a bit out of focus as it were. Nothing dramatic, mind you, yet not entirely right.
Here is where self-inspection, repentance, and a renewed act of conversion become matters of urgency in the interior life. And here is what Lent especially invites good people to do.
I'm reminded of something St. Ignatius Loyola said:
"It is a mark of the Evil Spirit to take on the appearance of an angel of light. He begins by whispering thoughts that are suited to a devout soul, and ends by suggesting his own."
For good people in particular, Lent is a time to take a closer look at whether some Satanic solicitation--call it the temptation to be too pleased with themselves--has begun whispering to them.

This was originally done for the Cleveland PBS affiliate, right when MFD debuted in March 2012. In fact, much of the interview was conducted in the William Busta Gallery in downtown Cleveland, where I held the official book launch, and a gallery show that featured original pages, sketches and artifacts. It was a great show. Seems like a million years ago.
But the interview has now popped up in an arts show for the Las vegas PBS affiliate, who thoughtfully posted it on Youtube, so I can share it with you here. It's one of the better interviews I filmed, I think. The creepy music is a little melodramatic, but otherwise they did a nice job with it. You get a glimpse of the attic studio where I created this book, too.
My bit starts at the 18:00 mark.

High Costs of Health Care
Today health care reform in the United States is an ongoing battle on Capitol Hill. In 2009 the United States spent around $8,000 per person on health care, that's 17.6% of our product which is double the amount other industrialized countries spend on health care. Other countries deliver the exact same type of care the United States does but at half the cost. What does this mean about the health care system in place now? This means that there must be some kind of health care reform in the United States. The president has constructed a plan called Obamacare, but this plan will cost the American people more if they do not abide by the individual mandate. If Obamacare is overturned by the Supreme Court it leaves the United States with other options like the single payer system that is currently place in Canada. The single payer system is health care that is funded from a single public insurance pool and the pool is funded by a mix of employees, employers, and the government. Health care should be reformed, but into a more reasonable, efficient and cost effective system like the single payer system so everyone has access to health care.
The United States is currently switching to Obamacare but the bill won't be fully implemented for a number of years, but until then the people have to make the decision between medical bankruptcy and poor health. Other industrialized countries have their governments argue with health care providers, drug companies, and other people that play a part in health care costs. "In countries like Canada and Britain prices are set by the government. In other countries, like Germany and Japan, they are set by providers and insurers sitting in a room and coming to an agreement, with the government stepping in to set prices if they fail."(Klein) America spends too much on health care and has made the system into capitalism at its finest. The government needs to step in and start negotiating with drug...

Kiwis are increasingly concerned about the food they give their families. New Zealand consumers have the right to know where their food has come from, particularly when it involves animals, and should be able to expect our Government to label food to meet New Zealanders expectations.
A recent World Trade Organisation (WTO) ruling has said that country of origin labels (CoOL) on some meat in the United States will have to be dropped or revised. New Zealanders must not be subject to such rulings, yet our government officials consistently lobby internationally for the WTO approach.
Australia has an enviable CoOL system but successive New Zealand governments have blocked mandatory CoOL here. This has meant that a lot of meat, fruit and vegetables eaten in New Zealand is now from overseas and does not need labelling. This is unfair for discerning consumers and New Zealand farmers and food producers alike.
When New Zealand is embarking on trade deals, such as the Trans Pacific Partnership, we need to be clear what this will mean for our country. It may allow big business to block CoOL in the way the WTO has. The possibility that international corporations might be able to sue our government over what New Zealand consumers can and can't know about our food is ridiculous. It is our right to have accurate and transparent information freely available. Our government must protect New Zealanders and local producers.
We have a private members' bill drafted to make CoOL mandatory. Here's hoping it gets traction this term. I, for one, would like New Zealanders to know if their bacon comes from Levin or from Mexico.
Currently, approximately 52% of pork consumed here is imported from all over the world. Introducing country of origin labelling would mean that you and I could choose to support New Zealand farmers instead of products of dubious quality or origin. We could also continue to choose to support those farmers to increase their animal welfare standards, and of course, encourage them to go organic.
New Zealand consumers and farmers need our protection and support – mandatory country of origin labelling is a good step in that direction.

The Hugs and Kisses
Years ago, back before my husband was anything more than my attractive nieghbor, he wasn't exactly talented at picking up women. His offer to take me to see new born puppies at a friends home was rather unoriginal, and would lead to many jokes later on. I, of course, accepted the offer. The friend wasn't home when we got there- so we watched the puppies for a little while and left.
It wouldn't be long before I "knew" all of his friends, despite the fact that I'd never met any of them, as they were almost always brought up in conversations between him and I. I quickly understood that I was entering into a tight knit circle of people who cared about each other like family. Soon, I'd find out just how loving these people were.
On one of our first dates, we went downtown to a music festival. All of his friends would end up being there, and I nervous to say the least. One of the first glimpses I caught of this group of late thirty somethings was a small man, with a huge smile hugging and kissing "the wives". My nervousness increased as I realised they were the "touchy feely" sort of people. And I turned and quietly asked if there was anyway I would be able to avoid this display... for the rest of my life. And that kissing man, was Steve- the friend I'd missed meeting when seeing the puppies.
As it turned out, Steve was the official kissing and hugging man. Friendly, and outgoing, always offering advice whether it was wanted or not, and always... always loving.
I managed to avoid the open displays of affection, and dodge away untouched for a while. And they would laugh about it. It must have been so odd to them, this barely 20 something girl, obsessed with the challenge of going untouched by them.
I can recall one conversation, long after his friends had become "our friends" that I would allow each of them one hug, and one sole kiss on the cheek. They could pick the day, either when we got married, or when we had a baby. In my book, these were the only occasions for such behavior. Steve laughed at me, and said one day the hugs would just become as natural as telling a good friend goodbye when they left. Steve hugged and kissed me on both occasions. And I never thought twice about it.
Dinners, big parties, a wedding, and a few babies, lots of holidays- they all seemed to come and go so very quickly. This group of people, who had completely intimidated me- who had grown from little kids into adults with my husband... have grown to be a lot like family to me. I don't mind the hugs and kisses so much, I haven't heard the jokes about where I was in '78 (the year I was born and the year most of them became adults) very often anymore, and I know that when it takes my husband three hours to get gas in his truck- he's most likely just visiting one of them "because it was on the way home".
Steve had been sick for the last few years, and the last time he'd been over, I had had to fill out some checks for him as he didn't have the energy to do it himself. After he left, I'd realised that it had been one of the very few times since I'd gotten married that he hadn't hugged me. And I missed that.
Last night, a small man with a huge smile, and even larger heart passed away. And, I must say, that all those hugs really did seem more natural than saying goodbye to a good friend.
I'm going to be taking a break on writing for a short time, taking care of things that need a little more of my attention right now.

Insect control may be reduced at low spray volumes under high temperature and wind conditions.
Some reduction in insect control may occur under unusually cool conditions.
Flood irrigation: To avoid contamination of irrigation tail waters, do not flood irrigate within 24 hours following a soil surface or foliar application of Warhawk.
Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM)
Warhawk contains a Group 1B insecticide. Insect/mite biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 1B may eventually dominate the insect/mite population if Group 1B insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Warhawk or other Group 1B insecticides.
To delay development of insecticide resistance, the following practices are recommended:
- Avoid consecutive use of insecticides with the same mode of action (same insecticide group) on the same insect species.
- Use tank mixtures or premix products containing insecticides with different modes of action (different insecticide groups) provided the products are registered for the intended use.
- Base insecticide use on comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
- Monitor treated insect populations in the field for loss of effectiveness.
- Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or manufacturer for insecticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and resistant pest problems.
Broadcast Foliar Application
Apply with conventional power-operated spray equipment using nozzles and spray pressures specified for insecticides. Apply Warhawk in a spray volume of not less than 2 gallons per acre for aerial application equipment (fixed wing or helicopter) or not less than 10 gallons per acre for ground equipment, unless otherwise specified. Increase spray volume to ensure adequate coverage with increased density and height of crop canopy. See Spray Drift Precautions section for specifications on droplet size.
Ground Application: Orient the boom and nozzles so that uniform coverage is obtained. The swath width should not be wider than the boom. Follow nozzle manufacturer's recommendations for insecticide nozzles with respect to nozzle type, pressure, and spacing.
Broadcast Soil Application
Apply with conventional power-operated spray equipment that will apply the product uniformly to the soil surface. Use nozzles that produce medium or coarse droplets (235-400 microns). Unless otherwise indicated, a spray volume of 10 gallons or more per acre is recommended. For band application, use proportionally less spray volume.
Aerial Application
Use a minimum spray volume of 2 gallons per acre and follow recommendations for best management practices for aerial application, above.
Marking of swaths by flagging, permanent markers or use of GPS equipment is recommended.
Soil Application
- Apply as indicated in Pest-Specific Use Directions. Use a higher rate in the rate range when there is increased pest pressure.
Pest-Specific Use Directions:
1. Root maggot (radish): Apply the specified dosage as a water-based drench in the seed furrows with the seed at planting time. Use a minimum of 40 gpa of total drench.
Specific Use Restrictions:
- Radish: Do not apply more than 5.5 pints of Warhawk per acre.
- Soil applications (all labeled crops): Do not foliar apply any chlorpyrifos product labeled for foliar application within 10 days of a soil application of Warhawk.
30 days

Round 21 Review: Sydney clinch home semi with six rounds to spare
By Jeremy Ruane
With compliments of www.sportswebsoccer.com
HAL Round Review
There may still be six rounds to play in the Hyundai A-League this season, but runaway leaders Sydney FC have already secured a home semi-final on the last weekend in April after coming from behind to down Western Sydney Wanderers 3-1 at a rain-soaked Allianz Stadium on the last weekend in February.
Trailing to an Oriol Riera goal after ten minutes, the home side gradually got on top in midfield and delighted their supporters in the 25,211-strong crowd when Adrian Mierzejewski levelled the scores via the crossbar right on half-time.
The Pole fired Sydney in front ten minutes into the second half, and the league's leading marksman, goal-a-game Bobo, made the points safe with his twenty-first strike of the season seventeen minutes from time.
Victory maintained Sydney's eleven-point lead over Newcastle Jets, who eased past Brisbane Roar 1-0 at Suncorp Stadium to book their play-off spot with six games to spare.
It was a tale of two 'keepers on top of their game for much of the contest, with the 8,120 fans present treated to a goalkeeping masterclass by both Newcastle's Jack Duncan and Brisbane's Jamie Young, who was finally beaten eleven minutes from time by a well-taken Joey Champness strike.
The teams in third and fourth place at the start of the round both suffered defeats on the road, with Melbourne City succumbing to a late rally by the home team at NIB Stadium as Perth Glory prevailed 2-1.
The 8,029 fans who braved the hot conditions witnessed a tame first half punctuated right on the stroke of half-time by a top corner special from City's Daniel Arzani. But that advantage came under threat half-way through the second half when the visitors' Bart Schenkeveld was sent off for committing his second bookable offence.
Perth piled on the pressure against the ten men, and were rewarded five minutes from time when Neil Kilkenny's well-placed equaliser from the edge of the penalty area found the bottom corner of the net.
Not content with levelling the scores, the home team went for glory, and got it right at the death, Adam Taggart heading home the winner in the seventh minute of stoppage time to clinch three priceless points for Perth, as they edged a little further away from the bottom of the table.
Adelaide United, meanwhile, copped a 3-0 hiding from Melbourne Victory in front of 13,396 fans at AAMI Park, the visitors playing much of the second half with ten men after Taylor O'Regan put through his own net to open the scoring half-way through the first half.
Seven minutes later, Leroy George scored a quite splendid free-kick to put Melbourne firmly in the driving seat, soon after which Regan and the non-shrinking violet that is Besart Berisha prompted a gathering of the clans – there's no love lost between these teams, make no mistake!
After that clash, the odds on a red card being shown were almost negligible, and nine minutes after he came on as a half-time substitute, United's Dzengis Cavusevic was the one chosen to test the shower water after striking Rhys Williams.
There was no way back for Adelaide after this, and Berisha rubbed salt into the wounds by wrapping up the scoring on the hour, with Paul Izzo doing his best to limit the damage to three, most notably with a fine flying save to deny Terry Antonis.
The battle of the cellar-dwellers lived up to its billing, with Central Coast Mariners edging Wellington Phoenix 1-0 thanks to a Daniel De Silva strike on the stroke of half-time.
Roy Krishna hit the crossbar for Wellington early in the second half, while Blake Powell was only denied a goal against his old club by the post as he looked to double the home team's lead, but the 4,973 fans present were more than pleased with the odd-goal victory, their first win in eleven matches.
Next week sees yet another split round take place, with the Melbourne derby at AAMI Park kicking things off on Friday evening. On Saturday evening, the top two meet at McDonald Jones Stadium, while Brisbane and Adelaide clash at Suncorp Stadium twenty-four hours before a 23rd round encounter brought forward by a fortnight takes place at Spotless Stadium, with Western Sydney welcoming Perth.

Threads do get old but they never die, don't be afraid to update your thread with new info. Oh, and don't bump to hard; They kinda frown on that here.
General Rules:
2) No useless posts, e.g., thread bumping, useless one liners, junk posting to increase post count, and identical multi-postings in different forums.
Without going over the previous postings, are you running all the new stuff at their defaults, including BIOS and MB?
Can you get a reliable PSU?
Where does the OS reside? Can you disconnect the other drive to test?
Do you have any onboard Intel graphics? Isolate then test the 970. Try removing the 970 drivers, then see if they'll re-install under Vista or XP compatibility. If they do, test.
Can you de-tune the corsair memory to lower speed settings? Then test. I'm thinking your main memory and the 4G on the 970 are fighting with each other causing the tearing. I haven't checked if it can be done with the 970's memory.
But when i connect the pc to the TV, it's still there.
That kinda rules out the screen imo. I could try to get a new DVI cable...then again, when using a HDMI cable on the tv it doesn't help. So probably not the cable
I have other ideas but that's enough for now.

Hi Anak,
Thx for the reply! As i stated in previous post, all hardware is replaced. Problem still there!
It's an Nvidia problem i'm sure. When i uninstall nvidia drivers with DDU (it prevents the install of the windows 10 GPU drivers.)
And the result is that Chrome reacts normally, no vertical tearing but insane horizontal tearing. Which is normal without the GPu drivers i guess.
Also in Safe mode, the "vertical screen tearing" is gone! Install any drivers and the problem is back.
So basically, it's Nvidia! There are a couple threads in existence that explain the exact same problem, but never ever did i see any solution or a reaction from Nvidia. it's hopeless.
On a side-note ->I can recreate this problem on brand new Pc's at multimedia stores so .. there ya go!
Still got some small bit of hope left some tweaker somewhere figured it out.
I'll keep the bumping to a minimum thx for the warning.
I have seen 1 person who had figured out how to get it working with older drivers. But that's not an option for me. I play newer games, i need the newer drivers + i can't find the drivers he was referring 2.
Edit* I found out that when i'm in safe mode the problem of "vertical tearing" isn't present.
Also i noticed that there is no lag when hovering over menu items (like start + right-click start) when the drivers are active there is a noticeable lag when hovering over menu items. All this is gone when in safe mode OR when in normal mode but without the Nvidia Drivers. I tried a bunch of older driver, but no luck so far.
Man this is driving me nuts!
I made a small video showing the issue (play at halve speed to see it more clearly)

Hi PuffTheMagicBelgian, you're welcome.
Let's take a few steps back, relax and try to get a fresh perspective of the problem. Try to forget anything you've done previously.
The basic definition of tearing, note underlined section:
Screen tearing is a visual artifact in video display where a display device shows information from multiple frames in a single screen draw. The artifact occurs when the video feed to the device is not in sync with the display's refresh rate.
In no particular order:

Hi Anak,
Thx again for the suggestions.
i'm using Windows10, i should change that in my profile!
So no Aero options for me.
Today i went to a friend, took my card out, put his in, used DDU to uninstall drivers and turn pc off for installing a new GPU. Same result! lol Unbelievable.
Now the other thing, i could reproduce some of my glitches on HIS pc!!
Also running Windows 10 + Nvidia card (GTX 1070)
Then last week when i was in multimedia store, one of those pc's had same problem. So i can reproduce this problem on multiple pc's now! All using Windows 10 + Nvidia GPU.
I'm awaiting response from Nvidia, after talking to them for a good hour and sending them details, examples and the link to different places where this is being discussed.

Small update ..
I have contacted Nvidia, Microsoft and the retailer where i bought all my pc components. I showed them a couple examples of the problem, gave them the links to all online discussions i could find concerning "vertical tearing/splitting".
Nvidia bumped me up to LVL2 support.
"Hello PuffPuffPass,
Your case is being escalated to our Level 2 Technical Support group for further attention. The Level 2 agents will review the case notes to troubleshoot the issue and find a solution or workaround.
As this process may take some time and require a good deal of testing and research, we ask that you be patient. A Level 2 tech will contact you as soon they can to assist or point you in the right direction.
Best Regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care
Microsoft made me run in circles around myself.
And the peak of (horrible support) was telling me that i needed to purchase a "support package" for additional help with my particular issue. They offered me a 85€ package for 1 month, or the full year package for 125€. I actually laughed out load after reading this! I recently bought this version of Windows 10 for 125€ LOL!
Needless to say, i didn't go for that option. And thanked the person for his/her/it's "help".
My retailer (http://www.alternate.be)
These people are the best! Very understanding, helpful etc.
Sadly though, clueless when it comes to this particular issue.
And the hardware has been replaced, so they don't know where to go from here ..
I will report back with new findings!
Greetings, and PuffPuffPass

Subvision was recommended to me by Spotify. I've really been enjoying Spotify for that reason, it gives such good recommendations from time to time. I have not been enjoying the terrible ads though but I refuse to pay the monies :P
Spotify recommended "Scenario" from the album "So Far So Noir" (best name), as soon as we (Steve and I) heard the song it sounded very like another band I've been obsessed with lately. One I've been listening to non-stop on Spotify so that explains why it was recommended to me. Why am I not telling you the other band I was listening to? Because said band likes to keep their identity secret and the lead singer of Subvision is so obviously him. I was kinda annoyed I found out because I like not knowing and I don't want to spoil it on anyone. But if you've heard the other band and listen to these you'll know. I should note that there is rumours on the internet about his identity and it is rumoured that he is the lead of this band but it's not actually official. I'm just guessing but, like, there is no way it's not him :P It would be a very big coincidence.
Anyhow enough about all the secrecy. Google it if you wanna know. I'll more than definitely be featuring the other band in this series at some point. Also don't expect me to write amazing reviews of these bands or artists I'll be showing you cos I'm not good at that! I mostly think "That sounds good" "That sounds awesome" "*brain explodes*" "*internal screaming*" "No words just listen" "play that again".
Spotify tell me that Subvision have two EP's which I have yet to listen to and then the amazing album "So Far So Noir". They're from Stockholm and I have no idea if they're still active? This album came out in 2006. Anyhow they sound very New Wave-ish to me. I could be totally wrong but it's very pop/rock/alternative/weird anyhow. Goddamn labels!
I was like "oh I'll pick some of my favourite songs from the album" eh I can't even pick one cos they're all so good. Ok I'll try and pick three and then you can go listen to the album cos really you should just listen to the album. It's only 37 mins.
Subvision - Scenario
Subvision - Room 611
Subvision - Son of May
This one sounds just like a song his other band would do. Even has words in the lyrics which is a title of a song they have :P
Subvision - So Far So Noir Full Album
For anyone who has Spotify, you can listen to them here. You can also add me if you like! This is my profile 11138078821 I think... I'm not sure how to link my profile ha! Let me know if it works anyhow.
So what do you think of Subvision? Did you listen to the whole album? If not we can't be friends.
Thanks for reading! :D

Donald Sutherland Tells 60 MINUTES He's 'Ugly Man' in Glamorous Business, 12/10
Donald Sutherland has played a wide range of roles over the years, including leading men, and all manner of MISFITS and villains. But the veteran actor says he has always struggled with self-consciousness about his looks, especially after a conversation he had with his mother when he was sixteen. The film star speaks to Anderson Cooper for a profile to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Dec. 10 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Watch the excerpt.The Canadian actor was an awkward kid growing up -- tall with big ears. His classmates called him Dumbo. One day, Sutherland asked his mother if he was good looking. "My mother looked at me," he tells Cooper, pausing to convey his mother's hesitation. 'Your face has character, Donald.' And I went in my room and hid for at least a day," he recalls. Asked whether the remark has stayed with him, Sutherland responds, "Not really, just for 65, 66 years," he responds with a chuckle. "It's not easy to know that you're an ugly man in the business like I'm in." When Cooper asks him if he thinks he is ugly, Sutherland says, "Unattractive is a gentler way of putting it." Sutherland has appeared in over 150 films and television shows over a span of more than 50 years. He got his big break with the 1967 hit "The Dirty Dozen," but first made a name for himself with leading roles in early 1970s classics like "M.A.S.H." and "Klute." In 1980, he starred in "Ordinary People," a drama that won a slew of awards, including the Oscar for Best Picture. More recently, he's played President Snow in "The Hunger Games" franchise. Yet for all his iconic roles, the Oscar has eluded Sutherland. He's been called one of the greatest actors never to be nominated for an Academy Award. He'll have another shot at a nomination with his latest film, due out next month. In "The Leisure Seeker," Sutherland co-stars with Helen Mirren as a retired professor who is coping with old age. Says Sutherland, "He was maybe the nicest man I've ever played, who was losing his mind...and totally and utterly in love with his wife." Did the role resonate? "Sure. All of it. Every bit of it."

Hasbro, realizing that iPhone and iPod touch enthusiasts might have such a hard time putting down their gadgets to actually play NERF Lazer Tag, will soon combine Apple technologies with its popular shoot-em-up game.
MORE TOYS: WowWee puts real toys in digital games
Coming this August, Hasbro is promising an upgraded Lazer Tag game that combines "the power, precision and excitement of live-action blaster battles with the high-action, strategic, augmented reality gameplay of traditional video games."
Players will download a free Lazer Tag app to their iPhone or iPod touch, and then slip the device into their blaster for single- or multi-player fun. The Lazer Tag blasters outfitted with Apple devices will offer users a "heads up display" that lets them keep track of their weapon and remaining power, track where they stand on a global leaderboard, and provide a virtual firing range of 205+ feet.
The NERF brand products are recommended for ages 8 and older and a set of two blasters costs $70, come Aug. 1.
Hasbro is no stranger to Apple and its technologies. In fact, Hasbro even has an App Store offering dubbed Play-Doh Play-Dates ("Moms get fun themed Play-Date ideas including step-by-step instructions for colorful Play-Doh creation, paper crafts, and yummy snacks.")
Hasbro isn't the first to come up with ways to integrate the iPhone or iPod touch with gun-like toys. Others include Xappr and appBlaster, as covered here by Engadget.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Used Car Finder and other Car Buying topics.
If you're in the market for your first car and you've been trolling the used car listings, keep in mind that there is a fine art to reading them. Unless you are a gearhead who loves listening to Click and Clack every weekend, chances are you'll want to stay away from any car that needs "TLC." TLC, in car repair and maintenance terms, usually means that while the car is drivable, it probably needs hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of work to recondition it.
If an ad says a car has been "well maintained," don't just take it on faith. Ask to see the service records.

How to Rent Baby Equipment in Amsterdam/
After our success with renting baby gear during our trip to Paris in December, it seemed like a no-brainer to try the same thing in Amsterdam. With fingers crossed I googled "baby equipment rental Amsterdam" and was super excited to find Travel Baby Amsterdam. Not having to lug our stroller across Europe was a huge relief!
We rented the Classic Stroller and a highchair. Livia is pretty attached to sitting in a high chair during meals, so we knew it was a must for the trip. I was nervous that a different type of chair might not be comfortable for her, but she loved the one that we rented! She was similarly comfortable in the lightweight stroller, which was a dream for navigating around a crowded city like Amsterdam.
I'm getting quite attached to having baby gear rental options in the cities that we travel to. Being able to travel light and not worry about who is lugging what baby stuff where is a huge relief during the actual travel process. Just like the company in Paris, the folks at Travel Baby Amsterdam deliver and pick-up the baby gear -- all you need to do is tell them where and when to deliver and it shows up on your doorstep. After three long days driving from Florence to Amsterdam, it was nice to have this taken care of for us.
Planning a visit to Amsterdam with the kiddies in tow? We highly recommend Travel Baby Amsterdam - www.travelbabyamsterdam.com

This week we have a great sketch challenge by Nicole Watt:
If you have been following my posts lately, you have probably noticed that I have been doing many clean and simple cards (CAS). This is another CAS card.
The colors are Lost Lagoon and Whisper White. The sentiment and stamped image are from the stamp set About the Label.
I just love this little gift bag image and to make it stand out, I doubled up on the dimensionals. I used one strand of the white Baker's twine to actually hang the "For You" tag from the handle of the bag.
Please join us and play along with this week's sketch.

Strong worldwide demand for aircraft—business jets and turboprops in particular—pushed general aviation industry billings to a record high of nearly $22 billion in 2007, a 16.5-percent increase over the previous year.
According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), global shipments of GA aircraft totaled 4,272 units in 2007, compared with 4,053 deliveries in 2006. Business jet shipments reached an all-time high, surpassing 1,000 units for the first time.
Piston airplane deliveries dropped by 2.9 percent in 2007 "but still posted the second best year in over two decades," GAMA said. Total piston aircraft shipments decreased from 2,755 in 2006 to 2,675 last year. Turboprop deliveries were up 11.4 percent, from 412 units to 459 units, while business jet shipments rose from 886 to 1,138 units—a 28.4-percent increase.
Speaking at GAMA's annual Industry Review and Market Outlook Briefing in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 12, GAMA Chairman and Cirrus Design CEO Alan Klapmeier said that despite the positive delivery picture, the GA industry still faces significant challenges.
"We need to grow the pilot population and stop the long-term decline in the number of GA pilots," he said. "We have to grow the low end of the market, and bring inactive pilots back into the fold."
Klapmeier lauded efforts to meet these goals, including AOPA's Project Pilot initiative and the EAA Young Eagles program. The Cirrus chief also expressed excitement over the growing light sport aircraft movement, saying the recent entry of two industry heavyweights—Cirrus and Cessna—into the LSA market segment underscores a growing commitment to increasing pilot starts.
The industry-wide shortage of aviation engineers, mechanics, and other technical personnel must also be addressed, according to Klapmeier. "We have to get people focused on engineering education and make them aware that aviation is a viable and rewarding career path," he said.
GAMA President Pete Bunce echoed those comments, adding that the GA industry must get more involved with the FAA's "NextGen" air traffic control system modernization plan. He encouraged GA manufacturers to take a more proactive role in adopting two related technologies: required navigation performance (RNP) and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B).
"We know the general plan, but we need to know the end result," he said. "We believe that most of the cost [of ATC modernization] is going to go to the aircraft, but we need to see the detailed system performance requirements as soon as possible. As [AOPA President] Phil Boyer says, it isn't 'NextGen' anymore; it's 'NowGen.'"

PLYMOUTH Â? Methamphetamine is a problem thatÂ?s only getting worse.
A newly formed committee to curb the toxic waste concurred that public intervention and prevention are the keys.
Law enforcement officials, social service workers, recovering addicts and educators teamed up last week during Plymouth Mayor Mark SenterÂ?s first anti-meth committee meeting.
A former detective with the Indiana State Police, Senter helped establish a Meth Suppression Unit in 2004.
Senter recalled how, at a meth bust in 2005, he learned an 8-year-old boy couldnÂ?t go to school because his parents had just been arrested.
Â?ThatÂ?s when we realized we had to do something different,Â? he said.
Meth doesnÂ?t just endanger the user, it endangers children, families and the public.
For example, Angela Price of Child Protective Services said, children removed from households with meth must be taken to the hospital and tested for chemical exposure before being placed in CPS.

Yes you read it right.... Zucchini pickle. A very dear friend is on special diet and has many restrictions. It pushed me more to add a something etc on her plate in the restrictions of foods. Made it oil free and it's good for the body. It tasted good. I refrigerated it just to be in safe side.
2 zucchinis cut into sticks
2 tsp roasted methi ground coarse
2 tsp roasted mustard ground coarse
1/2 tsp haldi
1/4 tsp hing
1 tsp red chilli powder
Salt to taste
Juice of 2-3 limes
Cut zucchini into sticks and dry overnight or for few hrs in the sun.
In a bowl mix all the ingredients together. Toss very well.
Put into a clean and dry jar and keep in fridge.
Just toss each day twice a day to mix spices.
You can add olive oil too if u like.
The pickle would be ready in 3-4 days.

Taunton iPhone Repair FAQS and Answers to Questions
Q) My iPhone is broken, how can I get it fixed?
A) Just call us , text us or send us an email and we will book you an appointment with one of our engineers to come to your home or work in Taunton to repair your iPhone there and then.
Q) How far from Taunton can you come to repair my iPhone?
A) We generally come anywhere in Taunton, plus around 20 miles from Taunton. Best thing to do is contact us with a Postcode and we will let you know if we can come to you.
Q) You advertise that you use "OEM screens" how is this possible as Apple don't sell them?
A) That's correct depending on availability of those parts otherwise it would be the highest grade part from a trusted supplier with our lifetime warranty. Apple do not sell any spares to any iPhone repairer in the UK. We get our screens and parts from various places such as iPhone authorised service centres in other countries.
Q) You fitted a part to my iPhone and not it has gone faulty - What do I do?
A) Simple, just contact us and have your original receipt handy. We will then diagnose the fault and if it is a manufacturer's fault we will come and replace the part for free again in Taunton. If it has sustained physical or water damage we will then book you a new engineers appointment to get it repaired again.
Q) My iPhone is only 6 months old from Apple, I have smashed the screen. Will you replacing the screen void the warranty with them?
A) Unfortunately yes your warranty with Apple will be Voided. We find this very annoying and very unfair as the parts we use are OEM and we are fully trained engineers who have repaired 1000's of iPhones. Apple simply use the excuse that you have had your screen repaired so they do not have to replace your iPhone when it has a real manufacturer's fault. They do this to try to make you use their iPhone repair / swap service that charges around 5x More than we do for a repair. When we repair your iPhone it is on the understanding that you understand that Apple will more than likely then say your iPhone handset no longer has any warranty with them.
Q) I have got a barred / Blacklisted iPhone - Can you get it working again?
A) 110% NO. We will not in any circumstance repair or work on ANY iPhone that is reported as barred or blacklisted. We check all iPhones using the www.checkmend.com service. We do not repair or buy any iPhone that has been barred - Please take it to a Police station.
Q) I have just dropped my iPhone in water - What do I do???
A) Turn it off, DO NOT plug it in the mains, wipe any surface water off the iPhone. DO NOT keep turning it on to check it, electricity and water do not mix very well!. For best results get it to someone who can open, dismantle and run the phone through an ultrasonic cleaner as soon as possible to maximise your chances. Unfortunately the myth of using rice to absorb the water doesn't work very often. This is due to the water being pulled out across other delicate component's and the minerals from the water being left behind to further corrode components.
Q) Can you come anywhere else in the UK?
A) Yes we don't only cover Taunton, we cover other areas all over the UK. Just contact us and we will do the best to put you in touch with an approved iPhone repairer engineer in your local area.
Taunton iPhone repair - We come to you!!

Yesterday evening(October 25th) Chandler Kinney was on the red carpet for the premiere of 'Jigsaw' atThe ArcLight Hollywood in LA.
The 'Lethal Weapon' actress wore a LEILOU black dress from the designers Capsule Collection. Her dress which featured a sheer beaded mock neck top & three-quarter feather sleeves and a layered tulle skirt was belted at the waist.
Instead of wearing pumps or sandals, Chandler opted for black LESILLA ankle boots which I thought worked nicely with her dress. A high curly bun with tendrils, LILOU jewelry and a HELMER clutch finished up her look.

There are many things that can delay a closing...
You, the buyer, are relying on several professionals:
* Real Estate Agents - yours and the seller's
* Attorneys - yours and the seller's
* Mortgage - Loan Officers
* Mortgage - Underwriters (Be aware that many big banks have underwriters in a different state and may not have a personal relationship to influence the speed of their work)
* Title Companies
* Appraiser
This is why having a REALTOR (R) to assist in the transaction is very beneficial!
Currently I am working with a young couple (19 years old)who have decided to take advantage of this market and purchase their first home.
While they have diligently saved money over the past year for a down payment, with little work history and low income, they can only afford around $200,000.
With the most homes in the area averaging around $300,000-$400,000, they have limited choices. Most of the homes in their price range are foreclosures.
After previewing several homes, we found a bank-owned property in Manville listed at $184,900. They made an offer, and had to use the FHA 203K renovation financing loan, in order to purchase the home without doing the repairs BEFORE closing/ownership. This loan seemed like a lifesaver, as a regular FHA loan has stricter requirments in terms of repairs.
Attorney review period ended...Contractors inspected the property and signed off on estimated bids for repairs...Appraiser completed the report....Title work was completed and cleared....BUT we still haven't closed.
Apparently, the contractor bids were needed sooner than they were submitted. **ADVICE TO ANYONE USING FHA Renovation Loans: contractor estimates should be submitted within 10 days after attorney review if you expect to close on time!!!
Since the bids were "late", the lender couldn't order an appraisal to be done for the property. Then when the appraisal was "ordered", the appraiser didn't call to schedule an appointment for 4 days. Once the appraisal came out to the property, they didn't submit a report for another 4 days.
NOW it's sitting in underwriting for the past week an a half - our contract closing date was July 11th. We submitted an extension to July 23rd and STILL HAVEN'T CLOSED.
The lender has played the "we're almost ready to give clearance to close" about 5 times so far, yet one thing after another, the slow reaction of communication has delayed the closing.
MEANWHILE, my clients are now being penalized for not closing on time at a rate of $100/day. While, I hope to close within the next day or two, I wanted to share my story to all REALTORS and buyers to inform you the importance of always being "A STEP AHEAD". Don't ever wait to any deadline, for you are relying on several different parties to work "for you" at their convenience.
My biggest disappointment in this whole transaction is that my 1st time homebuyers have had to go through this. I treat every transaction as if I was the one buying the home, and this "unusual" sequence of delays is costing them an additional $700 plus.
So, please feel free to share any similar stories to help buyers learn from our experiences and help avoid similar delays in the future!
