Anstey in Development
As a follow-up piece to my recent Anstey in Colour piece, today we'll dissect the growing number of apartment buildings surrounding Anstey Station and the subsequent change in the area's urban character. Below the reader will find more questions than answers, designed to provoke thought more than anything else.
Firstly though a brief outline of the area's recent and ongoing renewal into an apartment enclave.

20 Breese Street - Anstey Square 7 Florence Street - The Commons 33 Breese Street - The Wilkinson
10-12 Breese Street 37 Breese Street - Geox Apartments 10-14 Hope Street - Shimalli
32 Breese Street 4 west street - Westside Apartments
28 Breese Street 8 Hope Street Impending development (Purple)
3 Florence Street 26 Breese Street
208 Albion street 16 Hope Street
Revisiting Anstey in Colour, I noted that light industrial inner city areas such as Anstey are ripe for higher density apartment living. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield rail line in an already highly desirable area to live, Anstey is dominated by single level factories and presents a golden opportunity to implement a sustainable higher density outcome while still being sympathetic to the area's urban character.
Currently the area has a very much unscripted feel about it. Florence and Breese Street below typifies the contrast of older dwellings heavy with charm and newer, albeit far more sterile apartment complexes. Given these new developments carry little of no retail offering and seemingly shun street activity, the average passer-by is left with little to no stimulus.
The under construction Westside Apartments (below Left) is very much symptomatic of the new wave of apartment developments in the area. A small block leads to full site utilisation with little room for other features or meaningful street activation. Aesthetically OK when viewed in isolation, the issue arises when multiple versions of developments such as Westside meet wall to wall and maintain the same lack of street level acknowledgement.
Enter the current eastern side of Breese Street (below right). The sum of the whole seems to be a far worse outcome than what each development brings in isolation. No setbacks, narrow footpaths, wide roads (in parts) and no street level activation - is smart urban design present here?
What could have been achieved though with minor changes at minimal expense? The image below shows the Anstey Square redevelopment with 10-12 Breese Street to its right. Simple changes or Council clauses could have been incorporated during the design and approval process to make this a far superior outcome to what was built in recent years.
Given the areas impressive catalogue of street art which will diminish over time as more sites are developed, the precast panels for instance facing Breese Street would have represented a perfect opportunity to allocate each panel to an artist for a tasteful mural, possibly recognising the site or the immediate area's history. This would have brought vibrancy and an element of interest to the street scape.
7 Florence Street aside, the lack of incorporated greenery through these new apartment developments is highly noticeable. Coupled with an already desolate streetscape, these new apartment developments add very little greenery resulting in a somewhat hostile environment at ground level. Creepers over the fence line or vertical gardens heading up the buildings precast concrete elements would have provided immense urban returns for minimal outlay. And what of simple fixed planter boxes along the roof line of these buildings?
Where does City of Moreland stand in this? This area demonstrates rapid-fire development without a cohesive, overarching structure plan. It may well have one, but if it does it's average at best. Herein lies the worth of development structure plans, height limits aside they should seek to enrich the urban character of an area, to make an area better than what is was prior . Is it worth Council imposing a minimal levy per every apartment sold from this point on in order to fund improvement works? Simple and relatively cheap options such as removing every fifth parallel carpark and replacing those spaces with water sensitive raised garden beds doubling as seating allows the built form to be broken up, increases amenity/shade and a provides place for individuals to congregate and interact.
Ultimately the purpose of this article is to portray the notion that minor changes, even retrospectively can lead to major urban gains. Anstey Station's surrounds still has tremendous scope for development, here's hoping that's matched with an shift in attitudes by developers, architects and council alike.
To that end Laurence will reveal a spectacular Blockhead concept for the redevelopment of Brunswick Market tomorrow. Central to the Anstey area and the primary driver in attracting people traffic through the immediate area, the concept will try to balance commercial realities with heightened environmental, urban and design principles.

Cardiovascular syncope
Click to close accordion
Click to open accordion
The most common cause is vasovagal syncope, which is a drop in pressure with a sudden slowing of the heart. This type of syncope is often triggered by pain or emotional shock, particularly if the individual is dehydrated or has been standing for a long period. Over 20% of people in the general population experience vasovagal syncope at least once in their lifetimes. Syncope is a harmless event that does not lead to lasting effects in the majority of cases.
The other causes of syncope include heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy and pericarditis, high blood pressure medication and cardiac arrhythmia.
Vasovagal syncope is more common in young people and women. The other causes are more frequent in older people and especially in people with heart disease.
Cardiovascular syncope is a brief loss of consciousness (from a few seconds to a few minutes), that is characterized by rapid onset and spontaneous recovery. It is caused by decreased blood flow to the brain.
This type of syncope is different from other causes of fainting that occur without a decrease in cerebral blood circulation. These causes include hypoglycemia, epilepsy and stroke.
In general, your family doctor is the best person to make an initial exam, eliminate any non-heart-related causes of the fainting, and determine whether you need a more comprehensive cardiac assessment.
A cardiologist will then fill out a comprehensive questionnaire, perform a physical exam, and prescribe certain tests to confirm the diagnosis, establish the severity of the problem and determine the best treatment if he or she suspects a cardiovascular cause of the syncope.
- Electrocardiogram
- Holter monitor
- Echocardiogram
- Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
- Tilt table test
- Electrophysiology study
- Implantable heart monitor
When to Consult
Protection and prevention
In the case of vasovagal syncope, the doctor will recommend that you avoid becoming dehydrated. Unless otherwise contraindicated, an increase in salt intake may be recommended for some patients to promote fluid retention and an increase in blood pressure, which in this case is beneficial. Patients who experience a vasovagal reaction must try to avoid situations that have triggered syncope in the past and avoid medications that can cause a drop in blood pressure. In rare cases of severe vasovagal syncope, medication or even a pacemaker may be recommended.
Risk factors
Help and Resources
The treatment of other causes of syncope depends on the specific cause. The possible treatments include an adjustment in medication, surgery to treat a valve disease, catheter ablation for fast arrhythmias, a pacemaker for a slow heart beat, or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for patients at risk of sudden death.

This is the new Gmail design
A new sidebar includes Google Calendar alongside messages
Google revealed yesterday that it's planning to launch a new Gmail design in the coming weeks. The refreshed design will appear for Gmail users on the web, bringing it closer to the company's tweaks for Gmail on mobile devices. The Verge has obtained screenshots of the new Gmail design, currently being tested inside Google and with trusted partners. The new design includes some subtle elements of Google's Material Design, and a number of new features that were originally introduced for Google's Inbox overhaul of Gmail.
Google is implementing smart replies for Gmail on the web, the same feature from mobile Gmail that provides suggestions to quickly reply to emails. A new snooze feature also lets you temporarily remove emails from your inbox until a certain time, so you can avoid certain email threads until you're ready to reply. Snooze and Smart Reply are both currently part of Google's Inbox app for Gmail, and both features are now making their way to Gmail on the web.
The new Gmail design also features a new sidebar, with the option of using Google's calendar, Keep note-taking app, or tasks side-by-side with your email messages. This is perhaps the most useful part of the redesign that makes it easier to schedule meetings, or see when you're free when replying to an email.
Google is providing three new layouts to choose from, including a default view that highlights attachments like documents and photos, a comfortable view that doesn't highlight attachments, and a compact view that increases the amount of messages you can see on a single page. The compact view is the most similar to the existing Gmail design, allowing existing users to keep a similar layout.
None of the three new views and UI changes are as radical as the Inbox redesign that Google unveiled back in 2014. It's not clear where this new Gmail redesign leaves Google's Inbox project, especially as Gmail is now getting the Smart Reply and Snooze features from Inbox. It doesn't look like Google is ready to radically redesign Gmail to its Inbox levels just yet, but Inbox could continue to exist as a way for the company to test new email features.
Google is now planning to make this new design available to G Suite and Gmail users in the coming weeks. Google's I/O developer conference starts on May 8th in Mountain View, and it's reasonable to assume this new Gmail design will be part of the many announcements at the show.

Thanks! Maybe you could scan or take a photo of the Georgia Pacific "logo".
I've attached the only GP letterhead scanned to date. Obviously, it is from the R&D receivership era.
The second letter is not "fancy" but would certainly get anyone's attention that received a letter. We have several from Mr. Flagler…handwritten.

I have read that the arrow-through-initials herald (monogram/medallion) originated, not with the R&D, but with the Georgia Pacific Railway. I can't definitely cite the source of the information, but I believe it was in an issue of Southern Railway's Ties some time in the 1950's or early 1960's.
I do have a Georgia Pacific Railway pass with this monogram/herald on it.
The term "logo" is short for logotype and originated, I believe, in the 1950's or 60's, but again, I can't say for certain.
And this information, plus two dollars, will get you an Atlanta newspaper on a weekday.

Subject: [SouthernRailway] Southern's Arrow Logo?
Here is an interesting series of emails about the Southern's "Arrow" monogram (I have never seen the word "logo" in company documentation.)
Can anyone provide any additional information?
PS There are many letterheads in the SRHA archives. Many are on letterheads never used. They were kept, turned over and the reverse side used after the letterhead was obsolete. Some of the letterheads from car builders and customers are literally works of art that take up 1/3 of the page.

I have Official Guides from 1889 and from 1893. Sometime between those two dates, railroad monograms and logos seem to have proliferated. The entries in the 1889 Guide are pretty plain for most railroads including the R&D (also including the PRR entry, which does NOT feature the keystone logo) but by 1893, nearly every major railroad had some kind of identifying monogram, trademark, or logo. I don't have access to my timetables that go back that far, but I'm pretty sure they would show the same thing.
The arrow-through-the-letters logo, originating with the R&D, was definitely the inspiration for the similar SOU trademark. I have not seen any correspondence that discusses this, but the empirical evidence is pretty convincing. Maybe some letterhead or other document in the SRHA Archives can show where the arrow logo was used before 1893.
Early SOU public timetables featured the SR-with-arrow monogram on the cover but subsequent timetables dropped any kind of logo, even (until the 1920s) on the maps. For example, the timetables from 1894 to 1907 have the logo on the cover; the 1909 and subsequent ones, don't. A Southern trademark - the "SR-in-a-circle" - does not reappear to the cover of system public timetables until 1954.
The Official Guide, however, is different. From at least 1893 on, just about all major railroads had an identifying mark in the outer upper corners of each page of their entry so a station agent, flipping through the pages, could find the railroad he was looking for quickly. From 1894 until at least 1910, the Southern entry used the arrow logo on the outer corners of each page. From 1915 on, they used the SR-in-the-circle monogram. This monogram was designed, invented, and adopted in 1915. The story of how it came to be designed - as a doodle on a napkin - is described in the November-December 1990 issue of SRHA's The Green Light (predecessor to TIES magazine).
Hope this helps.

The Gigabyte Z370N WIFI is a mini-ITX motherboard that can run two GPUs with a riser
The Gigabyte Z370N WIFI is a mini-ITX motherboard that can run two GPUs with a riser
Gigabyte has announced the Z370N WIFI, a mini-ITX motherboard that looks like it has the chops to be part of your new compact gaming rig based on Intel's 8th generation processors.
One interesting feature is its support for PCIe bifurcation, which means you can run two graphics cards off the single x16 slot in x8/x8 mode.
Of course, this requires a separate riser card, and you'll need the space in your chassis for the second graphics card, but it provides users with the option to maximize the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot on the board and opens up expansion options usually unavailable to micro-ITX boards.
In addition, it comes with dual M.2 sockets, both of which support PCIe SSDs. However, one of the M.2 connectors is located on the back of the motherboard, which looks to be Gigabyte's way of circumventing the space restrictions of the mini-ITX form factor.
The M.2 socket at the back also doesn't support SATA drives, although the one on the front of the board does. The latter also sits under a Thermal Guard shield that is one of those solutions that purport to be able to keep these small drives cool and running fast.
Other nice inclusions for such a compact board are the dual Intel Gigabit LAN ports, on top of 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity. There are full-sized ATX boards that lose out to the Z370N WIFI in terms of network connectivity options, so we definitely appreciate what Gigabyte has done here.
Enthusiasts will like the built-in temperature sensors and dedicated fan and water pump headers, while there's a 4-pin RGB lighting header that will let you hook up external digital LED strips to spruce up your build.

Suffragette star Carey Mulligan slams 'sexist film industry'
As Maud Watt in Suffragette, Carey Mulligan fights for women's rights in early 20th-century England. But despite the strides women have made, Mulligan joins the slew of Hollywood actors and industry personnel who believe female perspective is not accurately represented in film.
"I think we have a sexist film industry, and stories about women are largely untold," Mulligan told Reader's Digest. "This [Suffragette] is one that's fallen by the wayside because of that."
She believes the journey of Emmeline Pankhurst (played by Meryl Streep) and the early women's rights activists has taken so long to reach because film excecutive suspected it wouldn't be a box office hit. "I think a lot of people have sat around tables in various production offices and decided it wasn't financially viable," Mulligan explained to the magazine.

Mulligan made similar comments to Time Out London earlier this year. "The mere fact that it's taken 100 years for this story to be told is hugely revealing," Mulligan said. "This is the story of equal rights in Britain, and it took years of struggle and women being tortured, abused and persecuted, and it's never been put on-screen. It's such a reflection of our film industry that that story hasn't been told yet."
She added in the April interview that women suffer from a lack of "interesting roles" but told Readers Digest she feels fortunate to have played the parts she has.
"You either make a lot of compromises and play roles you're not very keen on, or you have to wait," the English actress said. "I've been incredibly lucky in getting the jobs I've done, and I did enough work in the earlier part of my career to allow me to sit around for a bit. But that's a privileged position – not many people get to do that."
Suffragette arrives in select theaters Oct. 23.

Magnitudes of heat engulfed in school spirit caucacity, I'm revisiting the true blessing we all maybe remember… White and Purple.
A comment reads, "PANTHER PRIDE MUCH LOVE 6th Graders Class Of 2018 Gonna Be Singing This :)" and I can't help but ask, is this person right? Well if the class of 2018 isn't singing this, you should be.
White and purple is a remix/cover of the Wiz Khalifa song "Black and Yellow" that the CHS class of 2013 did and let's be honest, these fellas bodied that beat.
Vintage dance montage.
The greatest verse of the 21st century.
"So many points I don't know what the score is."
I just wanted to bring this video back to light, make sure everybody remembers it and appreciates it for the true blessing that it is.
Class of 2018, are you singing this?
Also if anybody that reads this can get the people in the video to see this post and relive their shining moment, that would be swell.

Islamic State group militants in Iraq recently came face to came with the "furry wrath" of an Alsatian German Shepherd attack dog that had been trained by the U.S. Army.
The U.K. Daily Star reported that a team of U.K. Special Air Service Soldiers travelling in a convoy of four vehicles were returning to their base when they were ambushed by over 50 militants.
"One of the SAS cars was destroyed by a homemade bomb and the team were forced to abandon their vehicles and take cover," the paper explained.
As the fight grew more dire, a U.S. soldier present with them for training purposes noticed his dog getting antsy and decided to go ahead and unleash it on their attackers.
"It could sense the tension and had an overpowering urge to protect it's handler and the other troops," an unnamed source claimed.
The militants hastily tried firing at the speedy beast, but it dodged all their bullets and instead jumped on one of the militants, nearly biting his neck and face off. It then turned on another militant, tearing at his arms and legs. Both cowards reportedly turned and fled the scene.
"A snarling Alsatian running at you is very frightening and probably not something the jihadis had encountered," the source added. "The dog did its job and returned to its handler with its tail wagging."
With the dog's help, as well as the help of two U.S. jets that eventually swooped in, the team was able to force the rest of the militants to flee as well.
Thankfully, the SAS team made it out alive, as did the brave Alsatian. Methinks he deserves a treat.

This delicious Gluten-Free Almond Flour Carrot Cake, sweetened with pineapple, raisins, and a little honey is a satisfying family favourite of ours. Depending on the frosting, it can even be dairy-free!
My First Blogging Heroine
Elana Amsterdam was my first blogging heroine. I discovered her site, Elana's Pantry, in my very early days of eating gluten-free. It's the first blog I followed regularly and still do to this day. I purchased two of her cookbooks, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook and Paleo Cooking from Elana's Pantry. I really appreciate the simplicity of her recipes. I also found that her almond flour recipes happen to be delicious! I made a lot of them back in the days before almond flour became so expensive! (Elana has recently developed a new carrot cake recipe using coconut flour.)
Evolution of a Gluten-Free Almond Flour Carrot Cake
I still break out the almond flour for special occasions such as those that call for a frosted carrot cake! At first, I used to simply follow the Classic Carrot Cake recipe in The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. However, my family began to ask for the pineapple that I used to put into carrot cake in pre-gluten-free days. Gradually, over the years, I've made other changes. Our old recipe contained coconut, so that made it's way into the new one. Some of our family prefer not to have nuts in cake, so they disappeared. I've made other changes too, so eventually it became a completely different cake. However, I will always be grateful to Elana for the inspiration!
Cream Cheese Frosting
Sometimes, I have frosted this Gluten-Free Almond Flour Carrot Cake with Elana's Cream Cheese Frosting that's made of cream cheese, cream, maple syrup, and vanilla. You can get the quantities and instructions here. I like that it's not loaded with icing sugar as my old recipe was. It's soft and delicious, so a great one to use if you're okay with dairy.
For the cake in these photos, I used Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting (dairy-free, naturally sweetened) from Erin at Texanerin.com and sprinkled coconut flakes on top.
I've also used Elana Amsterdam's Creamy Coconut Frosting from her book The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. This recipe calls for a cup of agave nectar. I use honey instead. I have noticed Elana transitioning away from agave nectar since the printing of this book.

If you make this cake, I'd love to hear what frosting you choose.
- 2 cups almond flour

- 1 14 oz. (398 mL) can crushed pineapple drained
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup finely shredded coconut

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, whisk or beat the egg yolks. Then whisk in the oil and honey. Stir this wet mixture into the dry mixture.
- With clean beaters, beat egg whites until stiff.
- Stir in the carrots, pineapple, raisins, and coconut.
- Gently stir about one-fourth of the beaten egg whites into the batter. Then very carefully fold in the remaining whites.
- Pour batter into the two prepared pans. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in pans for one hour before removing.

The Struggle is Real...
We want to point fingers and place blame on what or who makes us unhappy, but unhappiness is something WE possess and We must choose to dispose of it by allowing Jesus to take those wounds and heal them. Healing deep wounds doesn't happen overnight. The Balm in Gilead must be applied regularly, daily, often by the hour, but healing will come, although there may always remain scars. Do you hurt? Have you given up on healing? Give Christ permission to be your Physician. Even if you already known Him, you still have to go to Him for treatments. Choose to seek His assistance. We cannot heal ourselves. How do you seek His assistance? Cry out from the very depths of your soul. Tell Him what burden you have on your heart. Turn away from all the distractions which keep you from confronting your wounds. Take time out in silence at some point and mediate on His Word and pray. Stop blaming others. You can choose to rise above. Forgive those who've done you wrong. Forgive yourself. Forgive God.... Healing takes time. Don't give up.

Community Family Centers (CFC) in Houston's historic East End are taking major steps forward in offering construction training to those who want to enter into fulfilling careers in the industry. Starting this month, the nonprofit is offering training for people to earn nationally recognized certifications in construction.
Maritza Guerrero, President and CEO of Community Family Centers, says the company's mission is to equip families in the area with the tools they need to become self-sufficient members of the community. They do so in a variety of ways.
The group started simply as community volunteers working out of a church basement. Today CFC has grown into an agency with a $2.7 million annual operating budget, nearly fifty staff members and roughly two hundred and fifty volunteers serving over forty-four thousand clients every year.
In order to give people a shot at this nationally certified construction training, Community Family Centers is seeking sponsorship from the Construction & Maintenance Education Foundation (CMEF).
"What we do is we put them under our sponsorship to audit their programs and train their instructors just to make sure they're meeting NCCER guidelines and procedures," said Blair Williamson, Director of Training and Development with CMEF.
Right now, Williamson said there are about seventy programs in the Houston area sponsored by CMEF which offer National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER) recognized training, including fifty-seven high schools and thirteen community colleges. Williamson said the training, known commonly in the industry as NCCER Core Curriculum, is crucial for new workers in the industry because owners of projects and their contractors know what to expect of someone who comes through one of those programs. "Once the students go through the program, they can go from contractor to contractor and pick up right where they left off with their training," Williamson said. "It's a nationally recognized credential."
Paul Landa, who manages adult education programs at Community Family Centers, said, "Our goal is to provide a community-based construction training opportunity for our clients. We're at the beginning stages."
To offer the training, Landa explained that Community Family Centers is renovating part of their facility to house a multipurpose training lab where workstations for drywall training and other learning can happen. In that space, up to forty people will be able to train at any given time.
Where are the students for the training coming from, exactly?
Landa said, "We're utilizing a pipeline created by our adult education program. That's our first source." Community Family Centers is also using Steel Toe Pro, an application created by the industry to match prospective workers with careers.
Landa said that the program will allow those who wish to help with ongoing recovery efforts in Houston following Hurricane Harvey to get directly involved and jumpstart their careers at the same time. Talk about a win-win.
"We saw this as an opportunity to both tie in skills training and employment," Landa said. He said their recent introduction to the Associated Builders and Contractors and CMEF has been a blessing. "They have a connection to the community, and we're grateful for the support they're providing us and for guiding us under their sponsorship," Landa said.
The Community Family Centers training program represents a unique collaboration of organizations and individuals aligned toward a common mission to select, prepare, educate, and assist individuals who are seeking a fulfilling livelihood and who have the interest and aptitude to enter a rewarding career in construction.

A friend of mine told me recently she's been getting emails that it's time for self-appraisals at her place of work. She said that no one likes doing them and then she brought up a fantastic point. Why don't companies give employees a chance to appraise the company's work? I told her that'll never happen because they don't want to hear what people doing the grunt work have to say. Is it too radical for feedback to go upstream? Probably. And anyway, that's what anonymous Twitter accounts are for.
Happy tweeting!

It's a rare treat to plug into a new song only to find you're on the receiving end of Jarvis Cocker mark 2. That is exactly what's going on with Emilio Pinchi on his latest single, During Voided Hours.
The lead single from Liverpool-based Pinchi's upcoming EP due out later this year, During Voided Hours is something of an inadvertent homage to the soft-tones of Sheffield's whimsical Britpop son.
And it's not just a Cocker vocal-doppelganger thing – the very blood of Pulp's bassline beat is coursing through the heartland of this song.
The fact that Pulp was one of the most ingenious bands of the '90s, and Cocker a songwriter significantly superior to many of his peers, shouldn't go without mention when putting the comparisons into perspective.
Coming in at a very short but sweet two and half minutes, During Voided Hours is a flurry of nicely textured guitars hurtling through a Jools-like bluesy bass and piano combo that complement each other perfectly. As the dynamic piano is to the louche bass, the drawl of tight guitar twang is to the percussive smash in this hyperactive whirl.
Listening to this track is like being thrown into a spinning top that carries you at full pelt around the cyclical patterns, instrumental and lyrical, on which it's built.
Notwithstanding the hushed tone of Pinchi's underplayed vocal, the 'real-life' quality of his delivery, gives it a tangible, 'warm to the touch' quality. As ever, life keenly observed is given the short, sharp, shock treatment of razor lyrics.
Emilio Pinchi is master of both brevity and understatement, something which puts him somewhat at odds with the afore-mentioned master of melodrama.
Speaking about the song Emilio said: "The song's about breaking-up with someone and end up like strangers. Then you go out and meet new people, but you're such a tertiary character in their life's movie-plot at that moment in time. You realise there's actually no difference between these new people and the person you were with – it's just kind of a perspective thing."
He continued "I put a bunch of memories and experiences in the the second verse, but the idea is that you don't know whether they're old memories or completely new memories/about the old person or a new person. Underpinning the idea of everything being cyclical".
***Spoiler alert – Keep an ear out for a little amuse bouche of a nod to a fellow homie!***
During Voided Hours is out now. You can follow Emilio on Spotify and Twitter.

Pop Up & Watercolor Cards
Hello friends, today's blog features cards that don't take long to make and offer a BIG impact.
This sweet bird card was quick and easy to make thanks to the Stampendous Pop Up Stages Die Set, Song Birds Paper Pack and Ribbon Set. The Song Birds Stamp Set offered the perfect greeting.
For the inside I used Song Birds Foil Paper Tole which helped speed things up because I didn't have to create the pop up images. Notice that I stamped along the bottom using Song Birds Stamp Set.
This next card features a simple watercolor stamping technique. This look is really on trend, but I think it can intimidate some people so I made a quick little video to demonstrate just how simple it is.
This techniques works best with stamps that don't have a lot of detail. I used Bejeweled Stamp from Penny Black, which is a cling rubber stamp and you will need a large 4″x6″ acrylic block. For coloring I used Spectrum Noir Aqua Essentials pens which have both a fine tip and brush tip. I love this brush tip and it's perfect for the watercolor technique!
You can use cardstock for this technique, but I find that it warps slightly when wet. I chose watercolor paper and a Spritzer filled with water. Finally, I stamped a greeting using Special Thoughts stamps set and black Memento Ink. I selected Charming Paper Pack for the background papers and added a little natural jute twine to keep with the garden theme.
Then I simply colored the stems, leaves and blossoms using the Aqua pens, spritzed with water and stamped my watercolor image. It's that simple!
If you're intimidated by coloring directly on to your stamps, you will be amazed at how easy this technique is to recreate, check out this little video.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out what Paper Wishes has to share. Happy Crafting!

This week the monarch butterflies of Canada and the United States began their stupendous annual migration south to Mexico – so keep your eyes open for these black and orange beauties flitting over your gardens. It's an extraordinary spectacle.
The arrival of the monarchs in Mexico in late October and early November coincides with that country's "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) holiday. Many locals believe the butterflies represent the souls of their departed loved ones, returned to gather in trees and stretch out in a shimmering carpet on the forest floor.
Over the past 20 years, monarchs' numbers have declined by 80 percent due to pesticide use, development, and climate change driving habitat loss. So in August 2014, environmental groups petitioned to protect these beautiful butterflies under the Endangered Species Act.
Additionally, many fans of the monarch butterflies have created Monarch Waystations in their own backyards in order to help bring back populations.
Check out some great maps of this year's southward monarch migration.

With the Holiday season kicking in, the hunt has begun in finding that perfect gift for all of your loved ones. But if you're any bit like me and develop the biggest case of indecisiveness when you're shopping at the stores for others, shopping online this year might be what you need in order to keep you worry-free this holiday season.
Last year was actually the first year that I did all of my shopping online and I couldn't have been any happier! No running around from store to store looking for a thoughtful and unique gift, only to find that they don't have exactly what you're looking for and you'll have to run off to the next store to yet again be faced with the same problem. I purchased all of my gifts in the matter of two days several weeks before Christmas. And you know what? I was able to enjoy my Christmas more than ever. I hate to admit it, but every year I'm guilty of running around a couple days before Christmas with my anxiety in high gear.
A useful tool I'll be using this year is a service called ShopRunner. ShopRunner is a members-only service for online shoppers that provides unique benefits across hundreds of the best online stores. ShopRunner's members save time and money on holiday shopping with benefits including free 2-day shipping with no minimum order, free and easy return shipping, exclusive member offers, and easy 2-click check out. ShopRunner has expanded their network of 80+ retailers to include Neiman Marcus, Kenneth Cole, Tiger Direct, Jockey and Fanatics. The price of a membership is $79/year.
The concept is actually similar to Amazon Prime, which is actually the same price and you receive 2-day free shipping on millions of items on Amazon.com. I used Amazon Prime last year and the 2-day shipping feature really made things much easier on myself.
ShopRunner was kind enough to grant me with a free trial to help me out with this seasons shopping, and I tried it out by making my first purchase through ShopRunner with Neiman Marcus. The gift was for myself, but that's besides the point. Haha!
I've been on the hunt for a small cross-body bag for when I'm going shopping, running errands or going out – basically any time that I don't feel like carrying a heavy bag on my arm. The Rebecca Minkoff bags sort of grew on me, and I love the fact that they're stylish, somewhat edgy and that they are available in such a large variety of colors as well as different sizes. I ended up purchasing a Rebecca Minkoff MAC Clutch in the color Port, which is a really pretty wine/burgundy shade – perfect for the Fall/Winter! (It's actually sold out, and unfortunate for me, went on sale a couple days after I purchased it.. boo!)
Finding what you want is really simple. All you have to do is search for what you want in the ShopRunner search box. You can see in the screenshot below that I searched "Rebecca Minkoff MAC" and came up with a bunch of results from Neiman Marcus.
Once you click on an item, it will redirect you to the store site that the item is from. From there, you can add any items you want to your shopping bag. If you want to do more ordering from the same site, you don't have to keep going back to ShopRunner. You can just keep browsing the site and adding things to your bag. BUT, keep in mind that not all items are ShopRunner eligible. If an item is eligible, you'll see the ShopRunner logo next to the item, or on the item listing (see it circled in the screenshot below).
When you're ready to purchase the items in your shopping bag, continue with your checkout through that site, but make sure you are logged into your ShopRunner account at the time of purchase to receive the benefits of ShopRunner.
Once your order is complete, it will automatically show up in your orders on your ShopRunner account. It's pretty cool how it's linked!
I had no trouble placing my order and sure enough, my order arrived a couple of days later.
Behold my new beauty!
I love it even more than I thought I would!
Incase your item didn't work out, all you have to do is log in to your ShopRunner account and click on your orders. All of your orders will show, and you'll see the option to print a return label. It's that simple. (See the screenshot of my order below)
(click for full-size)
So what your plans this season? Have you ever done all of your shopping online? Or do you prefer doing all of your shopping in person at the stores? Are you a procrastinator or do you shop early? I'm really curious to see your answers!

… and finishing and …
… and unusually we went to bed at roughly the same time – my Wife just a couple of minutes before me. I already had a semi before I went into the bathroom, and as I brushed my teeth I encouraged it with my free hand. I wanted to fuck, and it might as well be obvious.
As I walked into the bedroom and undressed, my cock raised its salute.
I got into bed and turned the light out.
Predictably Her hand arrived on my shoulder, though a little more quickly than expected.
I answered with a hand on Her hip.
She snuggled up and encouraged my arm away from Her waist to around Her shoulder.
There was some brief conversation about the day.
Then silence and stillness.
Maybe I had misread Her smoke signals and She had ignored my semaphore?
But no.
She stroked.
And I reciprocated.
And we foreplayed.
Her: Just in terms of knowing our options, did you order some more condoms?
Me: Yes.
Analysis #1
[Just so you know, the points labeled Analysis will take you to different sections of tomorrow's post, and will cover my thoughts on aspects of today's.]
She lay half on top of me, one hand stroking my impatient cock, the other tickling my balls, and when Her face wasn't buried in my neck, Her mouth was demanding lips and tongue. Meanwhile one of my hands worked from tit to thigh to neck to back and back to tit, while the other reached behind for Her cunt. She shifted Her thigh to give me better access.
Analysis #2
She was not yet dripping with Her juices, but She was wet enough and willing enough to take most of a delighted finger into Her delightful pussy. Delighted, that is, until She wanted cock.
You will know, Loyal Reader, that condoms have been almost as great a disappointment to me over the last few years as the abject lack of sex, with the exception of My Size's larger sizes and the tinner Okamoto's Crown sheaths. Tonight was my first fuck with my recent purchase of a Okamoto 004. Bloody hell they're good!!! (Though bloody hell they're small! When I first took the johnny out of the packet I really wasn't sure if I'd get it on.) They're so sensitive that, combined with only a little more ball tickling, there was no point in trying to hang on till She came.
I can't remember the last time having my cock in my Wife's cunt felt so good. I dug my fingers hard into Her neck, thrust my tool hard into Her snatch, and sank my teeth hard into Her shoulder.
Analysis #3
My jizz boiled forth in what felt like an endless stream of magma, burning from my arsehole to my helmet and beyond.
It was obvious She wasn't done with me, as She kept grinding down on my retreating member. I had to make Her stop so I could safely retrieve and dispose of the sheath. (How something that small didn't fail, I neither knew nor cared, but having spilled my seed, I was keen to avoid any avoidable spillage.)
Once the filled envelope was disposed of, I returned to wrap myself around Her. As I reached behind Her and slid my finger back into Her slick pussy, She rolled away. I tucked up behind Her with my arms around Her. The way She spread Her legs and hooked one over mine left no doubt about where She wanted my hand.
Analysis #4
I obliged.
Well, it would have been rude not to.
Her: Stroke my tits too.
Analysis #5
And then, after I had been massaging Her tits and pussy for a few minutes, a flat hand undulating across Her mound and lips …
Her: Put your fingers in me.
Analysis #6
So I did.
Not much.
I wanted to give Her a good, hard finger banging [This is a new term to me this week – one I learned from a female sex blogger – but one I very much like.] but She came almost as soon as I dipped a single digit into Her cunt, and I had to back off.
And there we lay, curled up, and fell asleep. My arms still around Her, and Her still clutching my arms.
Even when we finally rolled apart, we were still back to back, skin to skin.
And that was so much closer to good sex that I have hoped for these last few years.
Analysis #7

I'm new to your site, and dotting around reading posts. I give a virtual cheer every time you have success with your wife…perhaps because my situation is similar.

Is chiropractic effective?
Chiropractic helps to remove postural imbalances and structural misalignments that can accumulate in our bodies over time. Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. For your body to remain healthy, your nervous system must function well. For your nervous system to function well it must be free of interference. By restoring spinal function with Chiropractic adjustments, nerve interference by misaligned vertebrae is removed, thus allowing optimal nervous system function and improved health.
Why should I see a Chiropractor?
Seeing a chiropractor is not only for back pain and neck pain. Chiropractic care is an excellent way to keep your body at its peak performance through nutrition, adjustment and overall wellness. In addition, chiropractic care has been known to help a wide range of conditions from fibromyalgia to diabetes.
What is Subluxation?
When a vertebrae becomes restricted or shifts out of its normal range of movement, this is referred to in the chiropractic profession as a subluxation. Subluxations can be caused by a wide range of issues ranging from a minor slip or bump to a car accident or any sudden trauma. When a vertebral segment is restricted, it begins to put pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels and everything around it. This pressure comes with a price. The subluxation interrupts the natural pathways that the messages sent from the brain need to be clear in order to be completed properly.
How does chiropractic care work?
Chiropractic is a way of looking at the human body overall. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The body is in essence completely controlled by the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking.
In the chiropractic world, drugs and medicine are not utilized as a form of treating a patient. While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions can be viewed as band-aids to treat symptoms rather than going to the source and treating the real problem.
While it's often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat back and neck pain, this is simply a small piece of what the profession really is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with more significant issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, headaches and many more.
What is a chiropractic adjustment? Is it safe?
Adjustments, or manipulations as they're sometimes called are the minor movements of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to restore normal movement of vertebrae that have stopped moving correctly for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident.
When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper biomechanics and function of all nerves and systems in the body from the brain, we can't function at our peak.
An adjustment is often a pressure from the chiropractor utilizing the hands or an instrument to move a vertebrae back into normal range. This happens with a quick movement and is often without discomfort. You may hear a noise that sounds like you're cracking your knuckles referred to as joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.
What can I expect from my visit to a chiropractor?
Going to the chiropractor is a new experience for many of us. Maybe we've heard through a friend or have done some research online. It's possible that you are just fed up with living in pain and it's time to do something about it. In either case, your first visit to the chiropractor will really be about getting to know you and discussing your history, current condition and goals. A thorough examination and tests are performed to give you the best diagnosis and prognosis.
What results can I expect from treatment?
Chiropractic is based on the idea of removing imbalances both structural and functional in an effort to allow our body to heal. Chiropractors have the ability and skill to remove these interruptions or restrictions in the joints, muscles and nerves and allow the body to perform as it was meant to.
If you've ever been in a car accident, played a sport, fell down or just bumped into something too hard, it's very possible that you are not functioning at your best due to a misalignment. While there are many potential mechanical or structural causes for misalignment, there are also chemical reasons. For instance, if you smoke or drink excessively or even just have a poor diet, the chemical imbalances in your body can eventually cause underlying conditions and disease to appear.
Allowing a chiropractor to get you back on track both chemically and structurally will bring your body back to the proper state it should be in to perform at its peak.
