A: INTRODUCTION The underlying assumption of the question is that presidents enjoy extraordinary power and discretion in American politics and that if you were president, then you could do anything. The mythology of American politics holds a special place for the office of the presidency. Certainly when someone is elected to the presidency there is an awareness that the same office was occupied by Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. This realization must make the new occupant marvel at the potential for leadership in the office.
A: INTRODUCTION Just as the presidency holds a special place in American myth making, the presidency holds a special place in contemporary politics. In American politics the president fulfills both the ceremonial functions of head of state as well as official functions of head of government.
A: INTRODUCTION The president is the figurehead of the govt., both internally and in international affairs. But the president is also the most influential policy maker in American politics.
A: INTRODUCTION This dual symbolic and governing role is a great source of power for contemporary presidents who seek to convert their popular appeal, media coverage, and symbolic roles into political advantage. But the presidency – constitutionally speaking – is not an office endowed with a great number of resources. This is a fundamental paradox of the office: there is the potential for strong leadership, but quite frequently presidents find themselves constrained in their actions.
A: INTRODUCTION Those occupants impressed by the examples of Washington, Lincoln and FDR should be reminded of other examples. Not all presidents are great or even good. For every GW, AL or FDR there are: – Buchanan – Hoover – Pierce – Fillmore – Bush (first) – Bush (second) – Grant – **These presidents had largely lost the confidence of many Americans by the end of their presidencies.
A: INTRODUCTION For every one of those great and successful presidents, there are at least as many examples of presidents who despite notable political successes were hampered by scandals that brought some amount of disgrace on themselves and the their office: – Nixon – Reagan – Clinton
A: INTRODUCTION Presidents are constrained by constitutional and political factors as well as personal shortcomings and misjudgements. Despite our mythology, success, failure and scandal are all part of the political history of the American presidency. The opportunities for presidential leadership are great but the potential for failure looms as well.
The promise in and constraints on the presidency were born of an ambivalence among the Founding Fathers regarding executive power. Constraints on presidential action are no accident; they are – rather, they reflect – the experiences that many Americans of the founding period had had with strong executives.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY Colonial experiences with both the king of England and with many of the royally appt. governors of the colonies left many Americans of the founding era with considerable qualms about strong executives.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY Still, the relatively weak executive powers of the critical period under the AofC served as a signal to many of the framers of the Const., that effective governance required a stronger executive.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCT Situated between the revolutionary distrust of executive power and the critical period's growing understanding that executive power was necessary, came a presidency that the framers intended to be: – Effective but not overpowering – Independent but not out of control – Dependent upon Congress for many actions but not servile to the legislative branch
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY Out of this debate over the presidency arose a number of key questions: – How many people should constitute the executive branch? – For how long should presidents serve? – To what extent would the president be independent of other branches, most notably the Congress – What powers could safely be trusted to the president?
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY Like most of the formal institutions of govt., serious thought regarding these questions are found in the Federalists' writings in favor of ratification of the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton wrote most of the essays dealing with the presidency/executive branch.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY In The Federalist, No. 70, AH argued: "The ingredients which constitute energy in the executive are unity; duration; an adequate provision for its support; and competent powers."
B; THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY AH defended the power of the presidency in several essays. He emphasized the importance of presidential "independence" from Congress and providing the president with sufficient powers. To examine the broad outlines of the presidency we should focus in on AH's concern for "unity in the executive" and proper duration of the presidential term.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY AH's call for "unity" in the executive branch is reflective of our principle of politics regarding the problems associated with collective action. AH makes the case for unified rather than collective action: "That unity is conducive to energy will not be disputed. Decision, activity, secrecy, and dispatch will generally characterize the proceedings of one man in a much more eminent degree than the proceedings of any greater number; and in proportion as the number is increased, these qualities will be diminished.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY The Framers wanted an influential chief executive who could make decisions quickly. Still, many of the Framers, AH among them, were uncomfortable with the idea of popular control of the presidency. Thus, they sought to "remove" the president from popular control. AH's considerations regarding the term of the president is enlightening as to the Framers' visions of the role the president should play in American politics. AH was passionate in his defense of the undemocratic side of the presidency:
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY "The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they entrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse … It is a just observation that the people commonly INTEND the PUBLIC GOOD … They know from experience that they sometimes err … When occasions present themselves in which the interest in which the interests of the people are at variance with their inclinations, it is the duty of the person whom they have appointed to be the guardians of those interests to withstand the temporary delusions in order to give them time and opportunity for more cool and sedate reflection."
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY The framers hoped to insulate the president from popular control. Thus, they settled in on a four-year term for the presidency believing it provided the right balance of responsiveness to and independence from popular sentiment.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY According to AH, in The Federalist No. 71, "a duration of four years will contribute to the firmness of the executive in a sufficient degree" while "it is not long enough to justify any alarm for the public liberty."
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY The suspicion of popular control extended to the means of selecting the president. The Const., provided two mechanisms for the selection of the president: – The Electoral College – If no candidate gets the majority of the EC vote, the HofR decides.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY Note that in neither instance do the people have direct agency in the selection of the president. Again these mechanisms reveal a certain skepticism of popular means of selecting the president.
B: THE CREATION OF THE PRESIDENCY As George Mason said, it – "would be as unnatural to refer the choice of a proper character for chief Magistrate to the people, as it would, to refer a trial of colours to a blind man."
CONSTITUTIONAL QUALIFICATIONS Article II Section 5 establishes the Constitutional qualifications to be president: – Must be at least 35 years old – 14 years resident in USA – Natural born citizen of the USA INFORMAL QUALIFICATIONS Have governing experience Governor of a state Foreign policy experience Married/Family Religious Military experience Have a vision for America Any others?
C: QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS Article II establishes the written powers of the Presidency: – Commander-in-chief of the armed forces – Treaty making – Appointments – Recess Appointments – State of the Union Address – Take care clause – Recommend legislation – Can convene Congress into special session – Veto – Adjourn Congress – Pardons (impeachment) – Laws faithfully executed Unwritten Powers Executive agreements Executive orders Executive privilege Chief of State Head of Party Agenda Setting Morale builder Crisis Manager
The formal powers of the president have not changed for more than 200 years. But the influence of modern presidents is considerably greater today than it was two centuries ago. The power and influence of any given president are partly the consequences: – The president's character and energy combined with the needs of the time – The party balance in Congress – The values of the citizenry – The challenges to the nation's survival.
D: THE EVOLUTION OF PRESIDENTIAL POWERS By and large, the history of presidential powers is one of steady, if uneven growth. Of the individuals who have filled the office, about one-third have enlarged its powers. Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for example, redefined both the institution and many of its powers by the way they set priorities and responded to crises. Two centuries of national expansion and crises have increased the influence of the president beyond the Framers design.
The power of the presidency has greatly expanded from the 19 th to the 21 st century. Presidential history and the historical development of the institution of the presidency provide a context to judge presidential greatness. Presidents represent a "common history" by which we can understand American politics. The historical context – the tenor of the times and the opportunities for strong leadership – greatly contour/shape the possibilities for leadership.
E: THE PRESIDENCY IN HISTORY In the 19 th century presidents tended to be weak. Weak connections to the public and a lack of institutional strength constrained presidential opportunities for leadership. To the extent that the 19 th century had great presidents – these presidents brought strength to the office rather than derived it from the public. How do we rank the 19 th century presidents in terms of weak and strong presidents?
E: THE PRESIDENCY IN HISTORY WEAK 19 TH CENTURY PRESIDENTS James Madison James Monroe John Quincy Adams Martin Van Buren William Henry Harrison Zachary Taylor Franklin Pierce James Buchanan Ulysses S. Grant Rutherford B. Hayes James A. Garfield Grover Cleveland (2) Benjamin Harrison William McKinley STRONG 19 TH CENTURY PRESIDENTS Thomas Jefferson Andrew Jackson James K. Polk Abraham Lincoln
E: THE PRESIDENCY IN HISTORY Throughout the 20 th century, presidential power increased as presidents developed strong connections to the people. Presidential connections to the public were enhanced in the 20 th century. The advent of popular campaigning and the use if primary elections as a means of selecting presidential nominees brought presidents closer to the people. Changing conceptions of the president's role in policy making have led to an increase in presidential power. The president has played a more significant role in setting the domestic agenda. The immediacy of modern war making and the near-premanence of foreign policy crisis throughout the 20 th century has increased presidential strength. How do we rank 20 th century presidents in terms of weak and strong presidents?
E: THE PRESIDENCY IN HISTORY WEAK 20 TH CENTURY PRESIDENTS William McKinley William H. Taft Warren G. Harding Calvin Coolidge Herbert Hoover Lyndon B. Johnson Richard m. Nixon Jimmy Carter George H. Bush STRONG 20 TH CENTURY PRESIDENTS Theodore Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson Franklin Delano Roosevelt Harry S. Truman Dwight D. Eisenhower John F. Kennedy Lyndon B. Johnson Richard M. Nixon Ronald Reagan Bill Clinton
E: THE PRESIDENCY IN HISTORY In the 21 st century, presidential power has increased as presidents have developed greater institutional power. The WH staff and the executive office have grown to aid the rise of presidential leadership – presidential staff has grown from fewer than 50 under FDR to over 500 in today's WH. In addition to this growth, the WH has become organized into different units that provide presidents with specialized services such as congressional relations and media outreach.
E: THE PRESIDENCY IN HISTORY Simultaneous executive expansions in the broader executive branch have empowered the "chief executive" as well. The sheer growth of the executive branch has offered presidents opportunities to influence policy simply through control of the administration. Presidents use appointment powers, executive reorganization plans, executive orders, and the means of approving (or disapproving) administrative actions to gain such leverage of the executive. How do we rank 21 st century presidents in terms of weak and strong?

When Nostradamus proclaims to the French court his prophecy of a great massacre, the young King Charles only laughs.
His mother, Catherine de' Medici, pays more heed - she believes that Nostradamus can truly see the future.

Pibros foam delta -free plans.
Surfimp's posting of the mugi reminded me of another easy to build delta. This one however is made of foam sheets instead of coroplast. It was my first sloper and at a few dollars a piece quite disposable. I put a tow hook at the bottom and shot it off like a rocket off a short bungee. It's original construction was made of depron but you can use foamboard (sturdyboard) as a substitute. If you decide to make one get black foamboard it peels much easyer than the white. You can find it at art supply stores or wallmart from what I hear. Enough of my blabbing go build one. here is the site and some pics of the one I built.
http://www.rc-soar.com/pibros/ |
I made one of these also. I did it a bit differently though - I started with 3/4" blue foam insulation. I hotwird a taper from about 1/3 of the way back, down to about 1/4" thick at the trailing edge. I cut the elevons out of the piece that was sliced off. I sliced a bit of an angle on the leading edge and sanded the LE and whole top smooth. I put a couple old Cirrus CS-20s in on the elevons, FMA Tetra (mine worked fine) and a 350 mAh battery up front for balance. All up weight is about 6 1/2 oz.
This plane flies great! I started off with three holes in the bottom as shown above, then taped a plywood bungee hook to the bottom after the first few hand lauch flights. It is a blast to wach it scream up to 100 feet or so. I sometimes do some rolls or other silly stunts on the way up. My guesstimate is that on launch it is doing about 100 MPH as it goes over the launch stake. Pretty impressive for a piece of blue foam with a bit of colored packing tape on it. The servos are still in this plane, and I keep thinking of making a FanFold fuselage to put on the bottom to carry a LiPo pack and motor for a bit of e-power fun. J.P. |
I have made about eight from 1/8" foamcore in the past- I always anjoy how aerobatic they are and the fast build. I helped a friend of mine build one out of green FFFin about three hours, and the late-night glide tests look very promising. Taking it out later this morning to maiden her in the real world!
Cody |
Nice URL, huh? I was really looking to buy some blucor fanfold (the 1/4" stuff from Dow) but this is all I could find round these parts. The friend Cody is talking about is me. We live about five blocks fron one another and just met recently through RCgroups. We really did build a Pibros, starting about 10PM last night and had her gliding about the park at 1 AM. That's including plenty of being dorks time and a few screwups. Took her out this afternoon to the slope at Mt Zion where she flew really well for a few flights. It was actually my first time there, as I'm real new to the slope soaring. Then Cody ran over my brand new 7C and the Pibros with his big honkin van. He told be he doesn't really like Futaba and now I believe him. |

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.30 / 5.00 5,270 ViewsThis is for English Class NOT an Animation Class. This is a true story that happened in my life. This happened when I was 6 years old, not 14, so as to not be confused. You might criticize me on my animation, but I'd just like to state that I'm not taking a class in this nor have I taken lessons. So just buckle up and strap yourself in for this crazy ride, cause this could get bumpy.
I actually voted it 5 points because more people should hear the story, but it seems too obvious to point out what needs to be fixed with your animation, so I have reviewed it 2.5. The story itself is great, and the format that you told it was great, but if it was not stick figures and was animated a little more this would get a much more decent score. Thanks for the entertainment though and sorry you pissed your pants.
I used to do the same thing when I do to Walmart. (Play the games, not pee myself)
Certainly not a bad story. Could have used a little more illustration and animation.
I liked it.
Hahaha funny man, unlucky on that guy
I didn't feel bad for him at the time but now that I think about it, I guess it would have been nice to help him.... oh well hahaha
Even though the animation was pretty simple, it was a good animation. Funny story too. I wonder how you lived with the shame?
Surprisingly no one found out about this story until recently so I really had no shame about it, and now I look back and laugh about the whole experience. Thanks for your input though, I know it was simple animation, but this was made for a project in my english class and it didn't have to be that elaborate. Also I only had 2 weeks to do this but I procrastinated and it ended up being three days of work right here. If I had more time I would have tweaked a lot of things in this, such as some sound, and some animation (a lot of animation actually). But I really appreciate you reviewing this. Thank you.

The level of information on the Superfast Cymru website is improving, as details of the better broadband coverage for Wales via the project are added to the site.
There is now a simple map, showing the various exchange areas, and details of what is happening, e.g. Aberdovey should start to see the super-fast broadband deployment start in September 2013, where as Aberystwyth is still in the planning stages. For the other exchanges that are outside the commercial footprint and not shown we presume that as planning starts their information will update. A postcode and telephone number checker is also available.
For those who live in Mid and North Wales based on our the analysis of results from our speed tester these areas appear to hold two of the slowest postcode areas (LL & SY) in the UK, thus improvements to bring the average up from 5 to 5.5Mbps to something like the 15 Mbps and faster that the best UK postcodes enjoy should be a welcome boost to both consumers and businesses.

Today's workshop with a new Starburst Stain set!
Oh dear, it's been a long time since I last posted hasn't it! I'm totally behind with blogland and have a lot of catching up to do.
I've had a lovely day today, we had a workshop with 3 very nice ladies who came to play with Starburst Stains and learn some techniques. It was especially good as we had a new Starburst Stain set to play with that only arrived yesterday.
We started the day with a brilliance ink background technique that the ladies also wanted to try and then got stuck into the new set. I had asked for a new set similiar to Icicle Creek, which is the palest set that has gold as the secondary colour.
The new set is called Icicle and Snowflake which has the same pale shades as Icicle Creek but with silver as it's secondary colour. It is really pretty and it is going to be gorgeous to use next Christmas!
We made lots of backgrounds with different techniques with the new set then moved on to the French Country set.
Time flew by so there was a frantic frenzy to make cards at the end. Here are the easel cards the ladies made.
Angela's card
Cynthia's card
Sue's card
Sue also managed to make this card.
Thank you ladies, you were great company, see you all at the Harrogate show!
This was a last minute workshop as we'd had to cancel the one just before Christmas so we finally had the chance to repeat it.
I will be sending out /emailing details of workshops up to June this week to those that have requested information. There is a variety of classes, they are mainly technique based workshops, such as metal embossing, making an ultra thick embossed picture frame similiar to those that I've posted about recently, techniques with Tim Holtz/Ranger products. If you are interested please email us at email@example.com.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Another UTEE frame
Here is a third ultra thick embossed frame, unfortunately the photo doesn't show the colours very well but it is has more colour than it shows here.
I didn't get to show this frame on our recent Create and Craft show where I explained the technique. I did post some tips about it that you will find HERE if you are interested in having a try. There is another embossed frame HERE
All 3 frames are now back on our living room wall.

Starburst Stain Workshop with Jill Tuck
We are in the process of arranging our workshop dates but I thought I'd post about the first one as it is for next Saturday.
Starburst Stain Workshop
If you have one, you'd better bring an apron, as we will be getting messy as we create with Moonglow Starburst Stains!
Many techniques will be used with the stains to create backgrounds that we will use with the cuttlebug and nesties.
To embellish our work we will be making some embellishments with ultra thick embossing powder as well as Moonglow 2-tone embossing powders.
You can book online HERE or telephone the shop on 01756 797048
Information about our workshops can be found on our website HERE
We will be adding more dates soon!

New Hero Arts 2010 - YUMMY and in stock!
Some are now on our website HERE, but with no pictures at the moment. Maybe, if you can stand the temptation and excitement, you could have a peek at the Hero Arts website, the designs this year are brilliant. Oh dear....
More embossed Moonglow Fabulous Filgrees
I used Moonglow 2-tone embossing powders Midnight Emerald Obsidian and Midnight Copper Obsidian on the aspen leaf. I just love the intricate detail on this, it is so tactile! I really must stop stroking it and get round to using it on a project...
The gecko is embossed with metallics and stamped into with a patterned rubber stamp.
Again, Moonglow embossing powders in green, copper and bronze have been used before stamping with a patterned stamp design.

Fabulous filigrees from last Monday's show
I showed these Moonglow Fabulous Filigrees on the show, they are intrically laser cut mount board shapes that can coloured embossed and used as embellishments, such as for the UTEE frame I posted about earlier this week where I used the anchor that had been embossed with Moonglow 2-tone embossing powders. The powder above is the Razzleberry Plum. While it was still hot I added some micro beads for texture.
I used various colours of Moonglow embossing powders on the butterfly above then stamped into it while the powder was still hot with a script stamp. The stamp must be a proper rubber stamp, a clear stamp will be damaged.
Again various colours have been used on the gecko along with micro beads.
Just embossing powder on this kokopelli design, no stamping or beads.
I love making these and if you saw the boards we had on the show you will have seen that I've made quite a few now!
The filigrees above are approximately 3", so more suitable to projects other than cards and are on offer at the moment at half price, £1.25 each. We do have some that are smaller with 2 in the packs HERE

Butterfly wishes box from last Monday's show
Not content at leaving it as it was, I decided to emboss part of it to match the embossing powder I used with one of Kay's flourish stamp designs from Aspects of Design 58 Fancy Flourishes, I dabbed around some of the detail with a Versamark pad and added Moonglow Midnight Teal Obsidian embossing powder, I wiped some of the excess off where I didn't want it before heating. I then added a little gold embossing powder the same way.
I embossed the butterfly from the Aspects of Design 3 Botanical stamp sheet with the same embossing powder and added a gold curly clip that I had stretched out and cut in half.
I added a small piece of card ready for a sentiment or address to be added that has been mounted onto gold mirri card.
It is a shame the photo doesn't show how luscious the colours are!
PS: Did you spot the missing curly clip on one of the butterflies... it was lost in transit and I only just spotted it after taking the photo, darn it!

Aspects of Design Butterfly Beauties
Our Aspects of Design stamp sheet Butterfly Beauties designed by Tracey Coates has been popular this week! Rachel Jackson has a great project with it in Craft Stamper magazine this month and Debbie and Vix have cards showing on their blogs today too.
I also received an email from Georgina who wanted to show me a card she had made with the sheet, I love the way she has decorated her hair!
So do pop over to see how they have all used the Bling Maiden!

Another UTEE frame from Monday's show with hints and tips
This is the largest of the 3 frames I showed. As I mentioned on the show I must have made them all about 12 years ago and every now and then I decide to change the colours so I add a bit more to them.
I was hoping to have some step by step photos but haven't been able to do them today so I will describe how I made them.
Acrylic paint
Non-stick craft sheet
Heat gun
Versamark or other embossing pad
Ultra thick embossing powder
Various colours of embossing powder to suit your colour scheme
Red rubber stamps, the more deeply etched the better
Embellishments, can be beads, wire, glitter glue, charms, filigrees or other chip board shapes
This is not a quick project, but more of something to keep going back to and you will use a lot of embossing powder, especially on a large frame like this.
I painted all the frames with matt black acrylic paint first, painting them means that you don't have to have embossing powder all over which also adds to the dimension. You can add mica pigment powders to painted areas afterwards if you wish to add more colour.
I demonstrated stamping into a piece on the show but initially you will need to add powder to the frame.
Have a good pile of paper under your non stick sheet as it will be getting really hot, this will protect your table surface.
Ink directly onto the painted surface with a Versamark ink pad, Versamark is a great pad to use for this if you have one as it is a lot stickier than most embossing pads. Dab the ink pad over a small area, you may feel comfortable just working on a 2" or 3" square to start with. Sprinkle on the embossing powder, I actually used UTEE black.
You can use embossing powders that you don't particularly like the colour of to form the basis. If they are ordinary powders they will take longer to build up though.
Tip the powder off and heat, you can repeat this all the way around the frame.
There are a few options for adding further layers.
Continue adding powders directly onto the frame
Either re-heat the powder you have already added until it is sticky again and then add more powder or allow to cool and re-ink with your Versamark pad.
Heat the powder in a melt pot If you have a melt pot, I feel it would be safer to tip the melted UTEE onto the craft mat to cool before adding rather than tipping directly onto the frame. If you over pour you could get into a terrible mess, plus it is going to be very hot as well as uncontrollable!
Heat the powder on the non stick sheet with your heat gun and then add them to the frame.
Ink the non-stick craft sheet with the versamark pad and emboss directly onto the mat. It is the same as embossing a chip board shape or tile except there is no card.
You can add the powders and tip off the excess before heating or use a teaspoon or small scoup to add more while the UTEE is still hot. Once you get a few layers on it will be so hot that the embossing powders almost melt immediately when they are added.
If you do this make sure you heat gun is well above the powder to avoid it blowing everywhere. If you have a hair dryer style heat gun you will find this easier to control. Start high and gradually lower the heat gun.
Allow the pieces you have made to cool. When you are ready to add pieces to the frame, heat the area on the frame and place the piece you have made on the mat into the sticky UTEE and it will act as a glue.
When you have built up lots of texture you can either warm areas on the frame and stamp into them there or make them on the mat and add them once they have cooled.
Make sure the powder is really hot all over, you cannot harm it by overheating on the mat it will just go very fluid. Ink a stamp with Versamark ink to act as a releasing agent, stamp into the UTEE and allow it to cool before removing the stamp.
You may find that some of the powder is still hot and is left in the detail of the stamp. Allow it to cool completely then you can remove it, it should just pop out easily or you can use tweezers. As long as you are using proper rubber stamps not clear or acrylic stamps, it will not damage the rubber.
Snap the embossed pieces from the mat and add them randomly onto the frame. Use different stamps to create different patterns and textures.
When adding your cooled pieces do not over heat the embossing powder on the frame as if it is too hot it will melt your stamped piece and you will loose the detail. If your piece doesn't stick first time, carefully heat the piece on the frame and it will melt into the background.
The good thing about this is that if you are not unhappy with how it looks you can simply reheat and start again.
Save your favourite colours for the last layers. Moonglow embossing powders look particularly lovely, especially against the black background.
Once you are happy with your frame you can add embellishments, heat small areas and add micro beads, the melted UTEE will also hold chippie shapes in place.
For glitter glue, allow to cool, add the glitter glue to your finger and rub over an areas that has detail.
You may wish to add your mica powders to a clear drying glue such as one of the perfect paper adhesives from US Artquest as this will ensure the mica is sealed in place and as it is a good achieval glue it will ensure the mica colours remain vibrant in the future. When mixed with the glue a good way to apply it is with your fingers as you can work it into the detail.
I hope I've explained it well enough! I have another frame to show another time, but if you have any questions, just ask and I will try to help. I know Lynne has a frame ripe for embossing, I hope this helps Lynne.
Suze Weinberg saw the frames a number of years ago and she approved of them and thought I'd done well:)
Well, not much notice but Monday's Ideal World decoupage show will be repeated tonight at 8pm on Create and Craft.
We are back to white stuff outside, so glad we visited Peterborough early this week!
Keep warm:)

Embossed picture frame from yesterday's show
This is the whole frame that I've posted bits of in the last couple of days. I used some normal embossing powders such as black and gold along with various Moonglow embossing powders.
The centre background is sprayed with Glitz Spritz. I embossed the fish charms to tone them down a bit but left the shells on the frame their original gold so they would stand out.
I made this frame quite a few years ago when Suze Weinberg came out with the rubbery mesh that you can see on the top left hand side. Nowadays you will know it as the non slip sheets you can buy in a DIY shop.
I broke up some embossed pieces and added them randomly to the bottom inside of the frame to make the sea bed.
Unfortunately the photos don't show the filigree anchor very well so I've included an undecorated one so you can see the actual shape of them, I stamped the embossed anchor with one of the images on the Aspects of Design Nautical stamp sheet. I added some gold cord to the anchor as a finishing touch.
I'll show one of the other frames tomorrow and will include more detailed instructions for it.

Elm Fork Nature Preserve Trail is a 0.8 mile loop trail located near Carrollton, Texas. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking and walking.
kid friendly
no dogs
This is a GREAT trail for beginners! Go left for the wooded trail and right for the paved trail. The wooded trail is very well maintained, instead of a dirt trail it's well done with wood-chips. Do watch out for snakes though. The paved trail is excellent as well. Great little walk in the woods!
Fun and easy trail.
There are two trails; when you enter the area (parking lot), the trail to the left is a dirt trail. The trail to the right is paved. They are both good walking trails, both have a lot of trees, both lead to creeks, and they are both a big circle. You won't get lost here. The dirt trail has a bench, a bat box and leads to a body of water (The Trinity) and creek. The paved trail has a structure , like a platform with stairs. Not sure what it's supposed to be but I always climb it and look around. It also has a nice, covered picnic area. As with any natural area, especially around water, you will need to saturate yourself with some good mosquito spray. I suggest wearing hiking or snake boots, and take water. The dirt trail gets real muddy along the creek area. Dogs are not allowed on the trails, which is really nice (not to step in dog poo or smell it). The bathrooms are fairly close, they are located by the ball field (that you pass when you enter the park). Critters I have seen here: Ducks, Herons, Armadillos, Squirrels, Birds (including Eagles), Butterflies, Rabbits/ Jack rabbits. I've been to these trails many times over the years, it's one of my favorite places for a nature walk. If you drive up Sandy Lake just a short ways, there's a place to rent Kayaks/Canoes to go down the Trinity. If you go in the Spring, you will see quite a few wildflowers & butterflies. I guess I've always gone at the right time, as it has always been quite. The Dimension Tract is a secluded thirty-eight acre parcel of undeveloped land along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. The natural parkland features a 14-acre pond, 3.5 acres of wetlands, 9 acres of river bottom timber and a blanket of native vegetation on the remaining 11.5 acres. This property has a canoe and kayak launch on-site on the Trinity River.
Short, rustic (not paved) trail. Easy walk, well maintained.
Yes you can hear the highway but if you take your time you can also hear the wildlife.
I enjoy that it is close and easy for a quick hour in the 'woods'
It's also a great trail for the young beginner.
I enjoy it often.
It was a nice amble. Saw a woodpecker, armadillo and herons. Lots of background noise from the soccer fields, gun range, and highway.
The trail was okay, really short though. I highly doubt you would see any poisonous snakes on the trail, although there were many sign warning you about them...venomous maybe.
This was a very easy trail No challenges. It was very quiet lots of birds to view. Kind disturbing that there were so many signs saying watch for poisonous snakes. I would do this trail again, It took about an hour; Wish it was longer.
Nice little hike/walk. Nice views of pond and different birds, I also saw 4 armadillos.
Short, but interesting trail into a mature woodland with bottom land species mixed within a few glades. Good variety of wildlife.

40,000 Abandon Their Homes in Gaza Flooding
Posted by feww on December 15, 2013
Winter storm ALEXA dumps heavy snow on parts of the West Bank and Israel
ALEXA has dumped the heaviest storm in living memory on parts of the West Bank and Israel since Wednesday, paralyzing Jerusalem and leaving thousands in Israel without power, as severe flooding forced tens of thousands from their homes in Gaza Strip.
Severe flooding triggered by extreme rain events has forced about 40,000 Gaza Strip residents from their homes, including more than 5,200 who were evacuated to safety, officials said Saturday.
"Large swathes of northern Gaza are a disaster area with water as far as the eye can see," said UNRWA that administers refugee camps in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
GAZA Strip: Rescue workers had to use boats to evacuate people trapped in flooded homes. Source: UNRWA
Areas near a refugee camp in northern Gaza "have become a massive lake with two-meter-high waters engulfing homes and stranding thousands," said an UNRWA spokesman.
With a population of 1.8 million people, Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas on earth, home to mostly impoverished refugees and their descendants.
The strip has experienced 12-hour blackouts daily since the lone power plant was switched off in November due to a fuel shortage, said a report.
Unprecedented winter weather has wreaked havoc, causing major disruptions across the region, AP reported.

"Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" is a documentary that came out in 2008, courtesy of host Ben Stein and director Nathan Frankowski. Stein, who has acted in many films, also has an economics degree from Columbia University and a law degree from Yale. Stein's interest in education led him to create this movie about academic figures who are pushed out of teaching because of their viewpoints. Stein also explores the effect of Darwinism on the scientific community.
"Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" starts by introducing Ben Stein. Stein begins to discuss how he always felt that scientists were free to pursue any topics they wanted to find out the truth about things. Stein then talks about his discovery that multiple professors had lost their jobs at universities because of their attempts at teaching the possibility of intelligent design rather than focusing solely on Darwinism. Stein interviews multiple professors who feel they were driven out of their posts due to their pursuit of investigating creationism.
Conflicting Arguments
Stein also talks to a number of scientists who have conflicting viewpoints. The film shows a few clips of scientists who feel it is a waste to try to teach or discuss creationism. Stein interviews more scientists who talk about the problems with Darwinism. The general consensus among them is that Darwin's theory of evolution was a good idea but had holes in it. All the scientists agree there is no real way to explain the start of the world. Stein interviews a Darwinist who believes life started with crystals or on its own. Stein feels this is not scientifically possible due to the necessary proteins.
"Expelled" begins to discuss what Ben Stein feels the Darwinist scientists are intending with their fierce defense of their beliefs. He theorizes that Darwinists are using their beliefs to extinguish religion because it challenges their ideas. Stein also suggests that scientists feel afraid to pursue alternative theories on how the world started because Darwinism is so widely accepted. Stein talks to scientists who feel the pervasive belief in Darwinism among the scientific community makes it difficult to come up with new ideas. Stein also talks to a scientist who has a brain tumor and feels that Darwinism offers no hope to mankind and destroys faith in people.
Connections and Conclusions
Stein takes his feelings that Darwinism further by making a connection between these beliefs and those of Adolph Hitler. He suggests Darwin's "survival of the fittest" idea may have played a part in Hitler's belief that not everyone was equal. Stein also says that if Darwinism continues to be the only idea taught and explored, no one will ever truly have free speech about their beliefs. Stein ends his movie by saying he thinks everyone who agrees with him should speak up rather than remain silent.

GPX1 Pro198Leu polymorphism, interactions with smoking and alcohol consumption, and risk for lung cancer
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2007
Without internal affiliation
We genotyped blood samples from 432 lung cancer cases and 798 persons in a comparison group and examined the role of the GPX1 (Pro198Leu, rs1050450) polymorphism and interactions with external exposures in the development of lung cancer. The incidence rate ratio for lung cancer was 0.60 (95% confidence interval: 0.35-1.05) when homozygous carriers of the variant allele were compared with the homozygous carriers of the wild type, and the risk for lung cancer was significantly lower among participants carrying more variant alleles (p-trend = 0.03). We found stronger associations between several smoking variables and alcohol intake and lung cancer risk among GPX1(TT) carriers than among GPX1(CC) and GPX1(CT) carriers.

Dictionary of Literary Biography on Tadeusz Rozewicz
Tadeusz Rózewicz is one of the most original twentieth-century Polish writers. His poetry, drama, and prose works, which have gained him a high reputation at home and abroad, are both innovative and controversial. World War II and its aftermath provide an important point of departure for his early writing; however, his later works address more universal contemporary themes. His invention of new verse strategies as an artistic response to his war experiences constitutes a significant literary achievement. His blending of diverse literary and nonliterary forms, an innovation that pervades all of his creative writing, best conveys the spirit of his principal philosophical concerns: the loss of absolute cultural norms, the destruction of subjective knowledge, and the relativization of truth. Translated into more than thirty languages, his work has received several prestigious national and international awards, and for many years, various groups have lobbied unsuccessfully for R...

Unam Out is a collection composed of chair, armchair, settee and coffee tables, in untreated iroko, woven back in nautical rope and upholstered seat with water-proof foam. Coffee tables in untreated irokoand top in solid wood.
News of the collection are the rocking chair and the bistrot coffee table in ashwood and solid wood top.
The combination between traditional elements such the curve and the twine and their articulation into a modern design make Unam an interesting and extremely readable collection of furniture.
Inspired by Jean Jeanneret's pragmatic projects in India, Herkner has transferred these concepts in their own design language.
The structure of the chair is made up of simple wooden elements that recall traditional wooden constructions. The two arched elements that serve as front legs and the arms say a lot about its design and character. This latter is available in two finishes, one woven and one covered. The combination between traditional elements such as the curve and the twine and their articulation into a modern design make Unam an interesting and extremely readable piece of furniture.
The Unam chair is a seat to relax and forget the outside influences. The combination of materials and proportions release a sense of protection and security.

Economy of the Unlost: (Reading Simonides of Keos with Paul Celan)
by Anne CarsonThe ancient Greek lyric poet Simonides of Keos was the first poet in the Western tradition to take money for poetic composition. From this starting point, Anne Carson launches an exploration, poetic in its own right, of the idea of poetic economy. She offers a reading of certain of Simonides' texts and aligns these with writings of the modern Romanian poet Paul
Editorial Reviews
Toronto Globe and Mail
[A] magnificent and lovely essay. . . . I never wanted [the] book to end. .. .
"This is one of those rewarding, original, rigorously attentive books that only Anne Carson could have written. At its core is an idea-the way the overlapping senses of 'economy' play out in language and in monetary history-that only this brilliant poet/classicist could have come up with. Economy of the Unlost is a strange book, bringing together as it does Simonides and Paul Celan; but its strangeness is one of its great virtues, for startling insights spring uncannily off every page."Wendy Lesser, Editor, The Threepenny Review
"[A] magnificent and lovely essay. . . . I never wanted [the] book to end. .. ."Stanley Corngold, Modernism/Modernity
"[Carson] convincingly draws out the fraternity of tone and inclination in two poets far removed in time, experience, and language, a significant accomplishment. It is. . . .difficult to do full justice to her bookrich, delicate, and complex. . . . An act of grace."Danielle Allen, Chicago Review

FALSE SAILHUMANS VALUE economy. Why? Whether we are commending a mathematician for her proof or a draughtsman for his use of line or a poet for furnishing us with nuggets of beauty and truth, economy is a trope of intellectual, aesthetic and moral value. How do we come to take comfort in this notion? It is arguable that the trope does not predate the invention of coinage. And certainly in a civilization so unconditionally committed to greed as ours is, no one questions any more the wisdom of saving money. But money is just a mediator for our greed. What does it mean to save time, or trouble, or face, or breath, or shoe leather? Or words? His biographers recount that when the poet Paul Celan was four years old, he took a notion to make up his own fairy tales. He went about telling these new versions to everyone in the house until his father advised him to cut it out. "If you need stories the Old Testament is full of them." To make up new stories, Celan's father thought, is a waste of words.1 This father's sentiments are not unusual. My own father was inclined to make skeptical comments when he saw mehunched at the kitchen table covering pages with small print. Perhaps poets are ones who waste what their fathers would save. But the question remains, What exactly is lost to us when words are wasted? And where is the human store to which such goods are gathered?
There is a poem of Paul Celan that seems to be concerned with the gathering in of certain poetic goods to a store that he calls "you." Among these goods are the lyric traditions of the poetry of courtly love, of Christian mysticism, of Mallarmé, of Hölderlin, not to say Celan himself. Celan has chosen to contemplate these traditions through the focusing device of one brilliant and drastic moment from the romance of Tristan and Isolt: the moment of the false sail.2
Ginsterlicht, gelb, die Hänge
eitern gen Himmel, der Dorn
wirbt um die Wunde, es läutet
darin, es ist Abend, das Nichts
rollt seine Meere zur Andacht,
das Blutsegel hält auf dich zu.
Trocken, verlandet
das Bett hinter dir, verschilft
seine Stunde, oben,
beim Stern, die milchigen
Priele schwatzen im Schlamm, Steindattel,
unten, gebuscht, klafft ins Gebläu, eine Staude
Vergänglichkeit, schön,
grüszt dein Gedächtnis.
(Kanntet ihr mich,
Hände? Ich ging
den gegabelten Weg, den ihr wiest, mein Mund
spie seinen Schotter, ich ging, meine Zeit,
wandernde Wächte, warf ihren Schattenkanntet ihr mich?)
Hände, die dorn-
umworbene Wunde, es läutet,
Hände, das Nichts, seine Meere,
Hände, im Ginsterlicht, das
hält auf dich zu.
Du [MATIÈRE DE BRETAGNE] Gorselight, yellow, the slopes Dry, run aground (Did you know me, Hands, the thorn- You What is "gorselight"? Yellow broom flowers. To another poet they might be beautiful, for Celan they suppurate. Their phrasing recalls the first verse of Hölderlin's poem "Hälfte des Lebens" ("Half of Life"): compare the sound of Ginsterlicht, gelb, die Hänge and Mit gelben Birnen hänget.3 But whereas Hölderlin's yellow pears are steeped in beauty, Celan's gorse issues pus. The contrast suggests a mood. The mood continues quietly in Celan's imagery of thorn and wound, as Christian and courtly conventions of love combine toward "devotion" (Andacht). But what sails toward devotion is "the Nothing" (das Nichts) and the mood swerves into negative theology. As any reader of Celan knows, he is at home in this mood. Here, however, it may be meant to evoke that other "poet of nothingness" whose verse is full of seas and sailing, Mallarmé.4 Remember the tenth double-page of Un Coup de dés, which begins with the word RIEN high on the left-hand side and is typeset so that the rest of the words roll themselves out across the page in waves to end in "the wave in which all reality dissolves" at the lower right.5 Finally, Celan's sea is also a sea of romance bringing Isolt to Tristan on a ship that flies a "bloodsail." All these fluent traditions run aground in the second stanza, which is dry, stuck on land, lodged in rushes, bushed up, jabbering mud and which engenders the third stanza: five verses stalled in a bracket. The poet's thought stops on itself. His path is forked and his utterance gravel. Celan has crafted these middle verses out of immobility to emphasize the movement of the rest. Seas and phenomena flow again in the fourth stanza and go rolling out the end of the page without a stop. The poem as a whole, recapitulating the first stanza, has the rhythm of a bloodsail, sailing forward in waves from gorselight to gorselight to you. Celan's "you" is hard to fix, as his bloodsail is a difficult color. If he means a reference to the Tristan legend, the sail should be either white or black. Tristan had arranged this signal with the helmsman bringing Isolt to him by sea: a white sail for Isolt prospering, a black sail for her catastrophe. When Tristan's jealous wife reports to him that the sail is "blacker than a mulberry," Tristan turns his face to the wall and dies.6 There is blood in the old French version but only dreamblood; as Tristan lies dying, Isolt out at sea recalls dreaming that she held in her lap the head of a boar that was staining her all over with its blood and making her robe red. Blood of course might signify simply fatality. Sail that kills. But let us consider the matter historically. Our oldest literary example of the trope of the false sail comes from the ancient Greek poet Simonides (556-467 B.C.). Simonides mentions the sail and calls it red: [Greek]. Indeed he mentions it in order to call it red, in defiance of an existing tradition. For the false sail was already an old story by Simonides' time, part of the myth of Theseus, of which other versions existed. Simonides did not scruple to waste a few more words on the subject. The poem he composed is not extant, but we do have two fragmentary citations. From Plutarch we get news of the sail: And from a scholiast we have the words of the messenger sent by Theseus to his father on the day of his return. For according to legend, Theseus is sailing into harbor when he realizes that he forgot to hoist the white sail. A messenger is dispatched to bring the true story to the father, but Aigeus has already read the deathsail and accepted its version. He throws himself into the sea. The messenger is addressing the father's corpse when he says: [Greek] [I would have given you a profit greater than life if I had come sooner.]8 Simonides' messenger states his case as economically as possible. His verb ([Greek], from [Greek] "to profit") is drawn from the sphere of commercial gain. More important, his statement takes the form of a contrary-to-fact condition. Why must the economy of the false sail be contrafactual? Because it is an impossible idea conditioned by the negative event that already exists. Two realities for the price of one. No profit in fact changes handsbut the idea of it, added to the account contrafactually, multiplies pathos and learning. Aigeus' salvation is both adduced and canceled in the messenger's spare comment. You could have your sail and falsify it too, if words were true. White, black, red, telling, lying, lied about, forgotten, fatal, all in all the falsity of the false sail is a rich proposition. How such propositions extend themselves to form the interior of a poem like "Matière de Bretagne" is hard to say. Celan combines the local Bretagne stuff of courtly traditions and ancient sailing with the local Bretagne stuff of gravel, hours, beds and personal pronouns that fold over one another like hands. He transcribes a circle of great lyrical beauty, lit by gorselight, around Nothingness. Das Nichts occurs twice but this word does not stop the poem or spoil the light. It is simply part of the poet's matière. So too Simonides constructs the truth about the false sail negatively. "Not white but red," he insists and then goes on to matters of local color: "dyed with the wet flower of the blooming holm-oak." The redness of his red sail stains fact deeply with the fixative of counterfact. Redder than red, redder than the blood of a boar in a dream, is the [Greek] that rests on white nothing. Negation links the mentalities of Simonides and Celan. Words for "no," "not," "never," "nowhere," "nobody," "nothing" dominate their poems and create bottomless places for reading. Not white but red. Was it not Aristotle who said, "A mistake enriches the mere truth once you see it as that." Both Simonides and Celan are poets who see it as that. And ask us to see it as that. Us in the gorselight. That is why the whole of Celan's poem gathers us into a movementtoward youthat sails to the end. But you, by the time we reach you, are just folding yourself away into a place we cannot go: sleep. Blank spaces instead of words fill out the verses around you as if to suggest your gradual recession down and away from our grasp. What could your hands teach us if you had not vanished? To stand at this border with whiteness exhausts our power of listening and makes us aware of a crisis in you. We travel toward your crisis, we arrive, yet we cannot construe itthe terrible thing is, after all (and most economically!) we are the false sail for which you wait.

Then Theseus cheered his father by boasting that he would defeat the Minotaur. So his father gave the helmsman a second sail, white this time, telling him to hoist the white sail if he were returning with Theseus safe, otherwise to sail with the black and so signify catastrophe. But Simonides says that the sail given by Aigeus was "not white but a red sail ([Greek]) dyed with the wet flower of the blooming holm-oak" and that this was to be the sign of their salvation.7

Bockman , et al. | April 23, 1996 |
A technique of merging or "matching" hue pages of a CRT and printer is used to map CRT control signals through a common perceptual space into printer control signals. The system (1) receives a color specification expressed as CRT control signals, (2) locates the specified color within the CRT perceptual gamut, (3) normalizes the two gamuts in perceptual space, (4) determines the relative position of the same color in the normalized CRT gamut, (5) declares that position to be the relative position of that color in the normalized printer gamut as well, (6) unfolds the normalization to determine the absolute position of the color in the actual printer gamut, (7) expresses that position in terms of printer-control signals, and then (8) applies those signals to the printer, to print the specified color. As a result that color, and color changes, specified in terms of CRT control signals are tracked in terms of both printer control signals and actual printer performance. The two device gamuts are in effect mapped to each other; the full gamuts of both are in effect merged. This new mapping preserves relative positions in color space--and thus the capability of the printer to reproduce distinctions between colors seen on the CRT that appear very closely similar. Such discrimination between colors very adjacent in color space is supported nearly throughout gamuts of both devices, even very near the lightness extrema and maximum-saturation point on a hue page. To facilitate processing, the normalized characterizations for the CRT and printer gamuts (taken as triangular) are approximated for each of 360 hue pages by single-point data representing lightness and chroma at the saturation point--or normalized lightness at that point--plus two common lightness extrema for the gamut solid.
