The colors of Valentine's day,
The colors of love.
It should be used with caution, however, because the colors evoke romance.
Nobody can deny a little romance in their home...its much too blissful!
Hope you are all having a happy weekend and getting your home ready for the month of love.

Please let me know if the other format is the right one. * * Regards. * * Cengiz * Cengiz, I noticed this the other day and made the correction to the current text but didn't feel it warrented a new update until we resolved the other issues. Anyway, find below the "current" text for interas-out --Tony. interas-out: Format: to <aut-num> <local-rid> <neighbor-rid> [<metric>] announce <routing policy expression> The keywords to and announce are optional and can be omit- ted. The definitions of <aut-num>, <local-rid> <neighbor-rid>, ripe-1nn.txt August, 1994 - 54 - and <routing policy expression> are identical to those defined in interas-in. <metric> is optional and is defined as follows: (<metric-type>=<value>) It should be noted the parenthesis ``('' and ``)'' and the keywords of ``<metric-type>'' must be present for this metric to be valid. <metric-type> currently only supports "metric-out". It could be expanded to other type of preference such as TOS/QOS as routing technology matures. <value> can take one of the following values: <num-metric> <num-metric> is a pre-configured metric for outbound routes. The lower the cost the more preferred the route. This <num-metric> value is literally passed by the routing protocol to the neighbor. It is expected that it is used there which is indicated by pref=MED on the corresponding interas-in attribute. It should be noted that whether to accept the outgoing metric or not is totally within the discretion of the neigh- bor AS. IGP This indicates that the metric reflects the ASs internal topology cost. The topology is reflected here by using MED which is derived from the AS's IGP metric. NOTE: Combinations of IGP and <num-metric> should be avoided for the same destinations. CAVEAT: The metric-out values may well be enhanced in the future as more interas protocols make use of metrics. Examples: interas-out: to AS1104 22.214.171.124/32 188.8.131.52/32 (metric-out=10) announce AS23 AS10 interas-out: to AS1104 188.8.131.52/32 18.104.22.168/32 (metric-out=15) announce AS10 interas-out: to AS1103 220.127.116.11/32 22.214.171.124/32 (metric-out=IGP) announce ANY Status: optional, multiple lines allowed -------- Logged at Mon Sep 12 20:53:49 MET DST 1994 ---------

I would like to make korker bows. I know you bake them, but how do they get their curl?
By nikki edge from Nashville, TN
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
I found this for you:sewing.craftgossip.com/
When my mom made bows she would take the ribbon and run the ribbon over one blade of a pair of scissors.
The ribbon would be at 90 degree to the scissors. She would do it with one hand while hold the spool of ribbon with the other hand. She would hold the ribbon against the scissors with her thumb and then pull the scissors along the length of then ribbon. And there were curls. Hope this helps.
You wrap them around a dowel rod the size you want the curl and secure them on the ends of the rod with wooden clip clothespins. Make sure them are completely cool before unwrapping them so they will hold their curl.

It is universally acknowledged that Madrid is by definition, a city worth visiting. However, when it comes to architecture, it is easily among the top destinations in the world. Over the years, the city reached a fine balance between modern extravaganza and royal grandeur. One of the city's landmarks – Plaza de Cibeles – is clearly an example of the latter.
Unlike any other square in Madrid, Plaza de Cibeles comprises an impressive ensemble of neo-classical buildings; although it is most famous for the fountain rising in the center – Fuente de Cibeles – a dedication to the Greek goddess of fertility, Cybele, is an artful work by Spanish artist Ventura Rodriguez. The fountain was built between 1777 and 1782, during the reign of Charles III, and shows the goddess sitting on a chariot pulled by two lions. The fountain has become emblematic for the city; supporters of Real Madrid Football Club grew particularly fond of the monument and whenever their favorite club celebrates the victory, they gather around the fountain.
Possibly one of the most stunning buildings on the location is Palacio de Cibeles, formerly known as Palacio de Comunicaciones. Today, after being restored for several years, the palace serves as the official seat of the Madrid City Hall, but back in 1909, when the palace was inaugurated, it was meant as the headquarters of the postal service. The palace is accessible for visitors; and art exhibitions change throughout the year. The top floor houses a decent albeit somewhat overpriced café, with splendid views over the city. And even though, you might want to get to see the palace during daylight, to have a closer look at ornate decorations and sculptures adorning its façade; at night superb lighting gives the palace a truly magical appearance.
Right across Paseo del Prado stands yet another architectural masterpiece, imposing and grand Banco de España, the official headquarters of Spain's central bank. Its construction lasted nine years and was finished by 1891. Since then, the building has expanded several times; the last expansion took place in 2006. However, the original eclectic design has remained intact – and just like decades ago, the edifice still features rich sculptured work, stone ornaments and iron-wrought large windows.
Palacio de Linares, a limestone marvel, was built in 1873 to accommodate Marquis and Marchioness of Linares. Today the palace operates as a museum, giving everyone a chance to admire an astonishing collection of art, including tapestries and glass, bronzes and ceramics and paintings by Spanish masters. It also houses so-called Casa de America – a cultural center which promotes the communication between Spain and Latin America.
Hardly any other army in the world is lucky enough to have the headquarters inside a building as magnificent as Palacio de Buenavista. At first it may result difficult to actually see the palace – a garden of exceptional beauty, designed by Ventura Rodriguez, surrounds and hides it from public stares. Built in 1777, the palace was designed to become the residence of the Dukes of Alba, not surprisingly, the interior flaunts lavish decorations and works by prominent Spanish artists including a large tapestry painted by Goya.

"I first met Deb as a silent student in her EYIA classes. Her work immediately drew me in and her class description spoke directly to my inner artist. I had been on my maternity leave only to learn that I was not going to return to my teaching job. So the exhausted Momma in me and the artist in me needed a pick-me-up and Deb was exactly what the universe prescribed. I asked for inspiration and Deb appeared. Her class touched my creative heart. All of the information and feedback she provided was pivotal to my growth and is still with me today. It took me out of my own doubt and showed me my heart and it's original photographic pulse. After our EYIA course was complete, I enrolled in an active seat in Deb's Fine Art for Photography course. I went in blindly and came out with, again, empowering information and drive. Presently, I am working with Deb with private mentoring. I can't begin to explain how lucky I feel, to have found her; to have her give me honest feedback while guiding me on to my best creative path. She fills my soul and whatever work you put into her mentoring sessions, the results are beyond what you expected and everything you could have ever wanted. I've just begun working with Deb one-on-one and I know that not only have I met a photographic talent who I admire intensely, but I have also made a friend who I can openly express my creative, vulnerable self with. This, to me, is invaluable today among this large and deep sea of photography. It's refreshing to find a voice, in Deb, that is clear, focused and demands of you what you need, to bring out the best in your art and the best in your heart."
- Jo Schwindt, May 2018
"Deb and I began our private mentoring in 2016. I reached out to Deb knowing she was an extraordinary artists with years of teaching and mentoring experience under her belt. I hoped she would help me hone a large body of work into a smaller, more cohesive and eloquently sequenced series. Together we achieved my goals and so much more. Along the way, Deb helped me fine-tune my artist statements, shared powerful insights regarding entering juried shows, and helped me step confidently into the next chapter of my fine art career. To this day I continue to call upon Deb to review new work I have created and to tap into her ever-growing knowledge of the field of fine art photography. 1:1 mentoring has been the single most important investment I have made in my personal and professional growth as an artist and I hope to avail myself of Deb's talent for years and years to come."
- Deb Achack, January 2018

Great review conrad.
Esta Noche will keep be happy until 2013 when her album comes out
And 212, surprisingly enough, has had amazing staying power
Album Rating: 4.0Blurring the line of genres is exactly what music like this needs. Azealia Banks is fresh and her eclectic taste definitely lends well to her creativity. As much as she wants to hates "hipsters", its her selection of her beats that's her most redeeming trait. She can also rap and sing which very very few people can say in this day and age. High hopes for her debut... hope she doesn't lose sight of herself.

already pretty - silvercocoon giveaway

Turns out she's kind of my neighbor and I love her blog ... and everything that its title suggests and stands for. I am honored to be partnering with Sally to do a give away of what I consider my best everyday earring - the medium POD earring. I often tell people that one could have a pair in several colors because you'll want to wear them everyday - I speak from experience -- so we're giving away 3 (yes, three) pairs of POD earrings to 1 lucky winner (yes, you get all three pairs!) Just hop on over to Sally's blog, follow her instructions for entering ... and take some time to explore her blog - it's full of great stuff!


text: I haven't blogged about it yet, early in August Macadamian has acquired Maskery, you can read more about the news here. I wanted the dust to settle a little bit before writing about it. For Macadamian it's a very important strategic move and one we're very excited about. It's strategic because UE Consulting brings us closer to the time when our potential customers realize they have a prodcut to create. I choose the term create, as opposed to build, one implies participating in the ideation activity, while the other is more about execution of someone's else idea. As I wrote several times here - product environment understanding is key to be able to innovate. Our acquisition is to help us make this transition, and plant our stake in the ground about why one wants to get Macadamian in a project with them. Macadamian is now about participating very early on, in the boardroom table of our clients to flesh out the idea, and helping innovate the prototypes, advanced concepts, pilot projects, that will become the next revenue stream of our clients. With Maskery, Macadamian now brings the business and science knowlege to make product innovation simpler and faster. In other words we take our clients from a napkin sketch to market ready!

The Three Things You Must Buy In Pennsylvania Dutch Amish Country!/
As I sit here on the porch of my brother and sister-in-law's beautiful house in the farming country of Maryland staring out at what will be a field full of corn in a month, while Renee tosses scraps of meat and moldy bread to the chickens over her morning coffee, I'm reminded of the thousands of blogs that we've read in preparation for our trip, and it makes me yearn for the days of grabbing a Fodor's Europe guidebook and just going. It must have been so exhilarating for someone in our position, about to embark on the trip of a lifetime, with only their imagination to guide them. We, on the other hand, have Pinterest to guide us. And Nomadic Matt. And Sunrise Odyssey. And literally thousands of other websites which boast headlines like "Ten Things YOU MUST DO Before Your Trip Around The World!", "The Mistakes YOU DO NOT WANT TO MAKE When You Visit Africa", and, my personal favorite, "How To Monetize Your Travel Blog".
Why are we so insistent on monetizing everything? Can't I simply write about our travels without expecting you to follow me on Instagram or Twitter(although there's a link right at the top of this page for you if you're interested) or click on my sponsored link to Amazon or use my referral to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card? I'm more than happy to tell you all of the steps that we took before we leave for our trip to prepare, but this will never be that site with half of the text in underlined blue because you can hop off here to buy things. Will we accept free nights from AirBnB in exchange for writing about them? YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT WE WILL. But will you see posts titled "The Six Beach Resorts To Use Your Hyatt Gold Passport Points This Summer"? Absolutely not.
FYI, I'm super excited for one of you to throw this paragraph in my face in ten months when we realize we need money and we're shilling for IHG. You can reach me on Twitter @joshkleinrules PLEASE FOLLOW ME OH LORD I NEED THE TWITTER FOLLOWERS TO MAKE ME FEEL WHOLE INSIDE with a link to this article to really rub it in my face.
So, enough with the condescending preamble. We're in Earlesville, MD this week (Coming Soon: "Where to eat in Earlesville the Locals Don't Want You To Know About!"), and we took a quick time out to Lancaster, PA, aka Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Not sure what I expected, but what we found was beautiful countryside with a lot of farms, and multiple tourist traps in Lancaster, Bird-In-Hand, and Intercourse, PA. Picture a lot of T-Shirts for sale with the word Intercourse on them, and yes, Renee had to talk me out of buying one. A ton of restaurants run by Mennonites and the Amish (as you can tell by the above placemat) with delicious, handmade, country food, certainly worth a stop if you're passing through. My sister-in-law recommends Dienners Country Restaurant (where we ate) and Amos' Place for lunch, and I concur. Here's the summary for Pinterest:
Three Must Buys In Pennsylvania Dutch Country: Amish Peanut Butter Schmier, Amish Roll Butter (Hand-Churned!), and Shoofly Pie. Click through my links to help out the cause.

They will take the impression of sufferings of others to their mind and think that if it occurs to me what will be my feeling? They will share it with others and make them sympathetic but didn't do anything for which they are letting tears. But a sympathetic person will do something for them. He himself jump into the issue and lead for an action. His deed will be appreciated by others than his words. But the word of an impressionable man will be appreciated by others. 2 Patients reached in my clinic after few days of a bus accident. Both of them were reached from the same rout. One among them was suffering from sleeplessness after seeing the pitiful seen of accident dead bodies, injured people etc. The other person was suffering from IVDP due to lifting people who met accident. He was not able to get treated because he was running after the injured for rescue operations and to console the relatives of dead people. The former included under impressionable and the later under Sympathetic. TUB, IOD, CIC
VAGABOND: A wanderer who has no established residence or visible means of support, move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food or employment. :Oxygen
CHARLATAN: A person who makes elaborate, fraudulent, and often voluble claims to skill or knowledge; a quack or fraud. A retired air force officer told me that he is an encyclopaedia in aviation. Whenever he reached in my clinic he narrated something that I couldn't get in terms of aviation. He uses technical terms of aviation. He knows only aviation and what he told was aviation always. I took his rubric as boaster, flattering desire to be. Etc. After few months I purchased a new car. It was written on the dickey of the car that "Quadra jet". I hesitate to ask Car Company about the meaning of "Quadra jet" and I thought that I can ask aviation man who is well versed with engines and all as he stated. Meanwhile I got information that my new car's is engine is "turbo" that too I don't know what is. I kept both questions for aviation man. When he reached I just asked him both questions. He was literally hunting for words, he don't know the answer of both questions. Later I invited him for a speech in the nearby school in connection with Independence Day organized by Rotary International. He skulked from that invitation by saying some unbelievable excuses. I called him for another occasion for a speech about aviation in Rotary club. At that time I told him to choose the date and time but till date he postponed it even after my repeated request. It was actually a fraudulent clam about his aviation knowledge! His rubric changed from Boaster to Charlatan and thus received a dose of CALC instead of Verat Alb & Medorrhonium that was prescribed most to him. : Calc, Nat M, Puls Plat Sul
ALOOF: Distant physically or emotionally; reserved and remote. At a distance but within view. He is reserved to keep dignity. An Aloof patient doesn't get along with people easily. They never enter in to the intimate zone of others in physical and mental level. 75 centimetres around a person is considered as his intimate zone. Only a very close person shall enter in to your intimate zone for communication. Aloof person never enter in to this zone. He hesitates to shake hand with you without an invitation. He never asks your personal matters and even personal details. One of my friends in Jaycees (An international youth organization) doesn't know the whereabouts of his fellow members. Once he was appointed as the program director of an event. His duty is to call every member over telephone and to welcome the gathering. He literally failed in these 2 duties because he doesn't know what his fellow members so as to guests! Remember he was the winner of 100% attendance Award in the previous year. He presented in all meetings attended all training programs but keep a distance from his fellow members! In another occasion one of the members of the same organisation brought all members and beautifully introduced not only the guest but also all members! He introduced each every member of our organization by narrating an event in their life and their reaction to that event. This introduction was a part of each event! He took initiative in others matter and played his role without anticipating a negative outcome. He made certain condition worsen because of his interference. When both these patients consulted me on different occasions I take Aloof for former and Meddlesome for the later.
Amativeness: Relating to or inclined toward love, especially sexual love. It stands for the reproductive instinct and the sexual desire. It is the faculty concerned with physical love and sexual attraction it has nothing to do with the eternal love. It is more or less physical attraction than a love from the bottom of heart. : Cantharis, Hyoscyamus, Lyco.

SATYRIASIS: Excessive, often uncontrollable sexual desire in and behaviour by a man. It is excessive or abnormal sexual craving in the male. One of my patients reached in our de addiction clinic told me that he is not satisfied with his wife and even after having a number of extra marital relationships. He was depending alcohol to get a sound sleep otherwise he will think about sexual relation with all ladies irrespective of their age that he met on that day. Irresistible desire with erection was his problem. Few doses of Verat Alb saved him from both alcoholism and loss of morality. Verat Alb, Kali Brom, CANTH
SERVILE: Submissive and permissive. They are suitable to a slave or servant. If they reach in leadership they will be used as a doormat. Others will play on their shoulders. PULS, Gels, Lyc.
SOBERNESS: The practice of refraining from use of alcoholic liquors. It is an increased self-control of addicted people who are able to withstand the temptation to go to drugs, narcotics and alcoholic beverages because of their will power. When I was working in a Hospital some 10 years back, one day a patient reached in O.P and while taking case he revealed that he had been taking alcohol on a regular base for 18 years but has stopped for 3 months without any reason. One fine morning he thought it is a bad habit and thus he stopped the habit all of a sudden. Still he is sharing his time with his old alcoholic friends in every evening but never took a drop of alcohol. After taking the case one of my fellow doctor told me that he really deserves a salute as he can stop it with his will power but outr doctor can't stop even after medication! The former comes under SOBERNESS and the later comes under ADDICTED Tendency to become. Former received Kali Phos for sleeplessness and later (Doctor) received Carcinicin for addiction.

May/June 2005: Beat contest!
By Bcbearz: We're having a beat contest. This has nothing at all to do with Digimon. Just make a beat and send it to email@example.com. The best beat receives a prize!
Beats so far:
Ice Beat - by Da Orange
January/February 2005: Who were the original Digidestined?
Ill have info up soon. E-mail any info you have to email@example.com .
November/December 2004: Who is Daemon, and what does he have to do with Dragomon and the Dark Ocean?
So far, the info...
In the original, the Dark World is the Dark Area, which is more or less the digital afterlife for evil Digimon. There are more references to it in the original, but they didn't show it again. The only really notable part was that in the original, Demon/Daemon knew Dagomon and recognized the sea.
Ppl on the Digimon Board's Opinions:
Daemon was sent to the Dark Ocean, however the Scubamon were to do with Dagomon/Dragomon, who was the Dark Undersea Master. Nothing to do with Daemon, I think.
It was not so much a plot-hole but a plot canyon. The fact that they dedicated an episode to the 'Undersea Master' and then never mentioned it again is stupid. I was watching new episodes of 02 wondering if we found out who the Undersea Master was in the next one, but it never came.
Maybe Daemon was regrouping in the Dark World and just didn't get in on time before the end of the season? The makers probably wanted us all to assume that Daemon would attack after the season ended, causing speculation on forums like these and maybe at the time they planned a movie on it, but it just never came about.
The theme of balance was explained in an episode. If there was too much light or too much darkness, the balance would be upset and crazy things would start to happen, like rifts opening up between parallel dimensions. If they destroyed Daemon, I think it would do more harm than good.
Light can't live without darkness and darkness can't live without light. It's like the old phrase: Can't live with them, can't live without them.
September/October 2004: Who's Milleniumon?
I used to know, but I forgot. Is he someone to do
with Ryo's mysterious past? Anyway, e-mail anything
you know to
So far, our info....
Season 2 , Episode 23 Genesis of Evil...... There is some connection between Ryo, Ken and Milleniumon.
Maybe that's why Ken was driven to make Chimeramon....
Thanks to pdunited.co.uk for the info below...
When Ken was younger and first became a digi-destined he was seen with another boy in the episode "Genesis of Evil". His name is Ryo (*Who is also a tamer in the 3rd season*). It is said that they battled a mega digimon called Milleniumon who let out his "Dark seeds". Ken saved Ryo from them and one planted itself in Ken's neck...Ryo simply disappeared after that. It is said that the two of them saw the online battle between Omegamon and Diaboramon so that's probably how both of them were chosen as Digi-destineds.
Thanks to www.digibros.net for the info below.
5.3 WHERE DID THE DARK SPORES COME FROM, AND WHY DID DAEMON WANT THEM? The Dark Spores emerged from Milleniumon after he was defeated by Ken and Ryo. In 2.43, "Invasion of the Daemon Corps," Ken dreams of his time in the DigiWorld, and Milleniumon is seen collapsing and deleting in front of him and Ryo (see Question 5.5). Then, from the spot where Milleniumon lay, four small glowing purple spheres become visible - they are hard to spot, because there is dust, sand and dirt filling up the screen, but if you look closely, you will see them.
Some have theorised that Ken may have created Kimeramon as result of subconscious urgings from the Spore, as Millenniummon is formed from a combination of a Kimeramon and a Machinedramon. This is purely conjecture.
Confusion over this issue mainly tends to arise because of some things said by Oikawa in the dub, which make it sound as if he created the Dark Spores, though he never actually SAYS it.
As for Daemon, it seems logical that he simply wanted the Spores for the same reason Myotismon did - to make himself more powerful.
5.5: WHO IS RYO? Ryo is the star of the Digimon video games for the Wonderswan system in Japan. He makes tiny cameos in "Digimon: The Movie" and season two of the series, and is a major character in the third season, but how do they all tie together? Ryo first appears in "Digimon: The Movie." He can be seen on a laptop, on a hillside, when "Here We Go" plays. He next appears in 2.23, "Genesis of Evil," in Ken's flashback to his time in the DigiWorld. Ryo is the boy wearing purple in the flashback. His other appearance is in 2.43, "Invasion of the Daemon Corps," in another of Ken's flashbacks. In this flashback, we see the evil Digimon, Millenniummon, collapse and delete, as Ryo and Ken watch. Then, the Dark Spores appear and Ken pushes Ryo out of their way. Ryo then appears in season three as the "legendary Tamer," but no questions are raised about him, because he's not enigmatic like he is in his Ken-flashback appearances. As far as the anime goes, that it's for Ryo - no explanation is offered as to how he got from one reality to the next, or even if they're the same guy, and not other-dimensional versions of each other. But the video games expand greatly upon his story. There are a few continuity glitches between the games and the anime that may or may not mean they are not strictly in continuity with each other, but they cannot be ignored as being part of Ryo's greater story. Ryo first appears in "Cathode/Anode Tamer" ("Cathode" and "Anode" were differet incarnations of the same game - think Pokemon Red and Blue). In that game, he teams up with Tai's Agumon to rescue the original DigiDestined from the clutches of Millenniummon, an evil Digimon created through the fusion of a Machinedramon and a Kimeramon, who has created a time warp that has rebirthed serveral of the original DD's old enemies. The next game was "Tag Tamers," the most important game as far as season two is concerned. It sees Ryo team up with Davis's Veemon and the young Ken to battle Millenniummon once again. The villain is defeated, but before Ryo seals his leftover darkness in a crystal, he releases the Dark Spores. A Spore heads for Ryo, but Ken jumps in front of it, and it infects him. As you can see, it was these events that were used to create backstory for Ken in the anime, but some things in it contradict what we see in the anime, specifically that in the game, Ken and Ryo watch the Diaboromon battle on Ryo's home computer, while in the movie, Ryo was out on a mountain. Next came "D-1 Tamers," where Ryo fought in a tournament against many other DigiDestined, and defeated them all. It was revealed that that tournament had been orchestrated by the Harmonious Ones (or the Digimon Sovereign, if you prefer) to train Ryo, in preparation for the return of Millenniummon. Millenniummon did indeed return, now in the form of Moon=Millenniummon, and, after a battle with Ryo, tore open a portal in time, and hurled himself and Ryo across history. In the next game, "Brave Tamer," Ryo awakens in the Digital World's ancient past, having lost his memories. There, he meets Monodramon, who takes him to ENIAC, the world's first computer. ENIAC reveals that there are many Digital World realities, which all grew out of him, and that Millenniummon - now in the form of ZeedMillenniummon - has conquered the future, and is setting his sights on the past. ENIAC gives Ryo the power to hop through space and time, in an effort to stop ZeedMillenniummon's plans, and, after several adventures in the different continuites, Ryo confronts ZeedMillenniummon, only for the villain to reveal that he is actually Ryo's true partner - but their partnership is now impossible with Monodramon in the way. Monodramon forces a DNA Digivolution between himself and Millenniummon, and they merge together into a Digi-Egg. Ryo decides to stay in the Tamers world. The continuity glitch here is that Ryo is shown to have parents in the Tamers world - but it's not beyond the realm of possibility to just assume he brought them there later on. An issue of V-Jump magazine had a question posed by a reader, asking if the Ryo in D1-Tamers and the Ryo in Tamers are the same person. The answer was a positive one, citing "Brave Tamer"'s story as an explanation, sidestepping the continuity problems posed.
There used to be a shrine called To Bring Back Yesterday,
but it's gone now.
I'll get some pictures soon too.

This week's blog comes live from my hotel bed in Amsterdam where I'm trying to get a few hours sleep before the start of tonight's latest Six Day extravaganza here in Holland.
I must admit, the early flight this morning was hardly ideal preparation for what promises to be the first of six brutally hard nights for me and my partner Chris Latham but hopefully come race time I'll feel a bit more lively.
I'm going to need it, it's going to be a hard week - similar format to the London Six but with two Madison races per night, instead of the one we had there - so it will take its toll.
We're also coming off the last two weekends of Revolution Champions League series where I was pleased that Iljo Keisse and myself were able to clinch second spot behind Ed Clancy and Jon Mould in the final standings for Team PedalSure.
I think we made a race of it. The format wasn't particularly helpful for us because, with it being a team event, all Ed and Jon had to do was mark us once they had a lead and it was nigh impossible for us to overtake them.
Still, we made a contest of it, at least, and won the last two races so it was nice to reward PedalSure for their investment in the event and the sport in general by giving them a few podiums and a bit of exposure over the two weekends in Manchester and London.
I think PedalSure have some exciting plans to extend their involvement in cycling next year - and not just at the pro level - so hopefully I can keep you informed about that when it happens.
As for the new Champions League format that the Revs have adopted, it was obviously the first year so you can still count it as the experimental stage. Some things about it worked, others didn't.
They invited road teams and changed the events to try and cater for them but, possibly because it's out of season for the road guys, they didn't really feature as prominently as organisers might have liked.
The three sessions - Friday night, Saturday afternoon and night - might also drag things out a bit for some people's liking and I'd like to see a bit more thought go into some of the events.
For example, I loved the elimination scratch race we did - a few laps of the devil and then 10 laps of a scratch race for the survivors. That was far more fun to ride - and, I guess, watch - than yet another 20km scratch race.
But I'm being a bit picky. Both weekends were well supported, there was some great racing - at least when Ed would let us! - and the event grows from strength to strength.
Something else I've noticed growing in quality this year is the standard of photography we get in our sport today.
Maybe it's always been there and I'm only noticing more now that I am writing this blog, but I've been stunned by the quality of track racing photos and photographers that are out there.
I mention it because Russ Ellis, who I know from his work with WIGGINS, Sky and Rapha, sent me the amazing picture I've put at the top of this blog.
If you remember, at the London Six, I used some images from Matt Grayson, Allan Stone and Trevor Gornall at Conquista magazine.
A track is such a relatively small area and the background can be pretty dull and repetitive, I wouldn't have thought you could get such dramatic and dynamic pictures on such a regular basis but all these guys do it.
Another personal favourite - and a good friend of mine - is Chris Keller-Jackson who has an amazing eye for track cycling and always seems to get the perfect pic at the perfect time.
It you're a fan of Instagram, get on there and check Chris and these guys out … they really are some of the best in the business:
@crankphoto (that's Chris), @cyclingimages (that's Russ), @stoneallanstone, @mattgrayson_photo, @conquistacc
Until then wish me luck in Amsterdam and give me a shout on Eurosport if you're watching!

Please join us on Wednesday, December 5, for a discussion with Vinay Sitapati, Ph.D. candidate in Politics, to discuss "Do Courts Matter: Evidence for the Indian Supreme Court."
LEGS, or "Law-Engaged Graduate Students," meets during the academic year to discuss a work in progress by one of our Graduate Associates. Academic papers, dissertation proposals, and dissertation chapters have been presented at these meetings, to an audience of fellow graduate students.
Vinay writes: " I will be presenting an early draft of my dissertation prospectus. It investigates a foundational puzzle in law & politics: do courts matter? Courts lack institutional autonomy, popular legitimacy, and enforcement powers. Logically, they should not have an impact. Yet in practice, there seem to be circumstances in which courts have an independent impact on politically salient issues. This dissertation will investigate those circumstances.
Existing scholarship is limited by (a) its excessive focus on judicial independence (when are courts immune to political pressures?) and assertiveness (what explains judicial behavior?), (b) the US-centric nature of the cases studied, and (c) the lack of systematic design. In contrast, I focus on the ground-level impact of judgments, analyze the Indian Supreme Court, and provide a systematic research design.
More specifically, I compare those assertive judgments of the Indian Supreme Court (between the years 1993-2012) that have had an impact with those that have not. This dissertation will measure a variety of impacts – short-term, long-term, and legal-institutional – as well as analyze three possible causes for the variance: outside political context, nature of the legal issue, and state capacity to implement the judgment."
Vinay Sitapati is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politics. He grew up in Mumbai, Chittoor and Bangalore, and graduated from National Law School Bangalore and Harvard Law School. His current interests are at the intersection of law and politics, focusing on the relationship of democracy to the rule of law in South Asia. He acknowledges that this interest was shaped by his previous internships and experience in public interest law as well as his prior academic studies. Among his internships were positions with the Pakistani court, a Pakistani human rights lawyer, the UN Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on Extra-Judicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, and the Delhi-based advocacy organization Public Interest Legal Support and Research Centre. As a visiting scholar at Indiana University Law School, he compared caste-based quotas in India with race-based affirmative action in the United States.

Weddings weddings weddings! My life is all about weddings these days and I LOVE IT! I mean, don't get me wrong, I know it's quite the stressful task in planning your dream wedding, but when you're on the other side, somehow the magic multiplies over and over again, and it's fantastic!
OH! YEAH! That other part of the blog title. EXCITING NEWS! Earlier this year I got chosen to be in Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book! //insert happy dance// Late last night my page got posted and I added some photos to my gallery (more to come soon) and WOOHOO! I'm there!!! I'm listed for Calligraphy, which is TOTALLY amazing because I could seriously calligraphy (yes I'm using it as a verb) all day long and write on chalkboards all day long! Yay!!!!!
Back to weddings! So, Weddings in Woodinville was this past January and it was so much fun! Quick explanation: There are wedding shows (i.e., in a convention center) and there are wedding tours (i.e., Weddings in Woodinville!). These tours have different venues and the lucky guests get shuttled around and visit with every single wedding vendor they would need for their special day! There are themes and food and invites and everything and it is amazingly inspiring! Check out some of my favorite photos from Woodinville Whiskey Co., my venue...
Of course. A chalkboard. :o) A gilded one at that!
Our welcome table! If you can't tell by now, our theme was "The Citrus Countryside". Yummy and so sweet! Miss Holly Patton of Perfectly Posh Events, our talented wedding planner, came up with this GORGEOUS theme!
The "ceremony programs" for the event resembled citrus-flavored Popsicles! So cute, right?! I loved making these and thank you to all my lovely lady friends who helped me assemble all 300 of them!
Everything paper and lettered was by Songbird Paperie! So, if you see something you like, let me know! :o)
Don't these drinks sound AMAZING?! Yeah I think so too!
This was one of my favorite pieces -- the citrus chandelier! One of my best buds, Rachel of Butter & Bloom, did it! She's an amazing florist!
This was quite possibly my most favorite invitation design in the history of invitation design! The colors and the fonts are so so so happy!!
Heehee -- there's me! I didn't know the picture was being taken at the time, so my little face is a little serious.
A macaron tower!!!! Gosh I wanted to eat those babies so bad... dang nut allergies! Thanks Kara (from The Sweet Side) for making such beautifully tantalizing treats!
Ummmm how adorbs is this place card and favor combo?! The place card is a parchment-wrapped clementine with a custom die-cut leaf and the guests's name written in shimmery gold calligraphy! The favor is a teeny jar of lemon-orange marmalade tied with rustic twine and a custom die-cut lemon and "love is sweet" written in shimmery gold calligraphy!
Flowers!!! And seriously, Kimberly from Alante Photography is so talented!!!
This duo was so good!!! She is such a gifted violinist and he is such a smooth guitar player! I loved listening to these play all day, AND it inspired me to start practicing violin more often!
What a lovely day this was! I hope you are inspired as much as I was on this day! This would make for such a fun spring or summer wedding, whether it be at a winery, a lodge, or even a whiskey distillery. :o)

Good Morning friends,
The Sky is changing yet again! Mercury is entering the sign of Sagittarius after a 20-day stay in Scorpio. Usually when Mercury moves into this sign, society catches an acute case of foot-in-mouth disease. We seem to collectively remove our verbal filters, and run the risk of major Freudian slips. However, I think this time should be a bit different, because at the moment we also have the tough-task-master Saturn in the sign of Sagittarius. I believe that this will manifest as major political discussions taking place all around. It will honestly be impossible to get away from a political discussion over the next 20 days. Let me break this down just a bit more. Sagittarius rules foreign nations and foreign peoples; Saturn rules boundaries and structure; Mercury rules discussion and media coverage. So, undoubtedly the media coverage of the refugee crisis is going to amplify about 1000%. We also will likely see discussion occurring centered around immigration in general. Sagittarius is also associated with organized religion, so the discussion around religion that the recent events has stirred up are certain to continue. This is a period that bares the potential for dogmatic views, and extremely aggressive communication—but it doesn't have to be that way. With Neptune Speaking to Saturn, we have the potential to heal the pain of others, simply by listening to them and allowing them to tell their story. If we listen to each other, then we all can be heard.
As always, the sky will speak to each sign differently, so I recommend paying closest attention to the section for your Rising Sign. If you do not know your Rising Sign, then I encourage you to click here to calculate your free Birth Chart. Otherwise, just read the section for your Sun Sign. Enjoy!
Aries: More than any other Sign, you have a lot on your mind related to religion and politics. This is going to be a time that biting your tongue seems very difficult, and I would never ask you to do that. I will advise however, that you avoid bringing these issues up while at work. Issues in the workplace are likely if you choose to bring up your beliefs over the next 20 days.
Taurus: Now is a very blessed time for financial planning Taurus. A lot of Taureans will find themselves thinking of way to increase their long-term wealth. That being said, it is not necessarily the best time to be spending a ton of money, or at least not spending too much on credit. Think big-picture with your money Taurus, and avoid going into debt over the holidays.
Gemini: You may find that your partner suddenly has developed an opinion about everything. Considering you rather enjoy conversation, this may just be a time to enjoy engaging in deep philosophical conversations with the people you are closest with.
Cancer: You are ready to get organized Cancer. You likely will have a greater desire to get your life in order over the next 20 days, so make sure you use this time well. This also a very good time to start thinking of ways to take better care of your health.
Leo: Debating seems fun right about now, doesn't it Leo. You are craving a passionate and stimulating discussion--I would just like to advise you make sure that both parties are interested in a debate. You may also find a lot of money is being spent on your children right, so it will be up to you remember when to draw the line.
Virgo: These next 20 days will involve conversations about your roots and upbringing. This may be a time to reach out to your parents. You also may be very focused on projects around the home. Many Virgos also will be connecting with their heritage as well, and I see a likelihood for conversations around cultural identity.
Libra: It is time to speak up Libra! Right now is an excellent opportunity to be expressing yourself, and sharing your beliefs and the things that make you happy. You can do this through writing; blogging; vlogging; or just speaking your mind.
Scorpio: You are going to be focused on financial matters over the next 20 days. You may find that you have a lot of good ideas about how to increase your income. However, I also see the potential for a lot of Scorpios to be blowing through their savings, or spending a lot on credit. This is a time to focus your energy on coming up with a stable and responsible financial plan.
Sagittarius: Many Sagittarians have been experiencing a fear of the uncertain lately, and we are finally entering a time of clarity! You will find that all of the answers that seemed to be eluding you, are going to starting showing up. If you have been worried about career related issues, then now you will begin to receive the answers you need.
Capricorn: To be perfectly honest Capricorn, you likely are about to experience difficulty focusing. You may feel that mental clarity has escaped you. You may feel as though needed information is getting lost before you are able to receive it. This is a time to spend slowing your mind, and finding a state of calm. You will get the answers you need soon, but now is the time to release expectations and just relax. It is a very good idea to pay attention to your dreams over the next 20 days, as they will likely have important messages for you.
Aquarius: Your career has required a lot of work from you lately Aquarius. You may have been doing a lot of writing or speaking. Now is the time that others will likely begin to take greater notice of all of the work you've put in. This is also a blessed time to be communicating with your friends.
Pisces: If you have been learning something new over the last month, then now will be the time to demonstrate your learning. You may have been honing a skill for work, and now you finally will be using it. This also may be a time of presenting a project to the public.
Thank you all so much for reading! If you like this post, then a like/comment/share is always appreciated. For those of you who would like more in-depth and personalized information about your unique Birth Chart, feel free to click here to learn about the services that I offer. Have a great day!

For any aspiring Picture Book writers and Artists, it might help in your struggle to know that there are many wonderful positives involved in being a successful freelance writer and/or illustrator. The affirmation and adulation ;-) (Well, not quite adulation but people saying nice things about what you do anyway). The satisfaction in knowing that you are making a half decent living doing the thing you are good at and love doing. The warm glow that comes with knowing that children all over the world have made your work part of their bedtime ritual, at least for a while. That kind of thing.
But if I may inject a word of caution, while enveloped in this happy haze it is easy to forget that the freelance writer's and illustrator's life has it's downside, and that coming up sharp against it can be a bit of shock.
You expect some tribulation on the way up as it were, but once a certain level of success has been achieved, you would be forgiven for feeling that once you have finally 'arrived', and the public like what you produce, this state of affairs is now set in stone and will continue ad nauseum. . . All you have to do is just keep it coming and all will be Hunky Dory.
Bubble bursting time ;-)
Sticking with David Bowie for the sake of a bad joke, you may find things drifting away from Fame and starts heading towards Low. . .
Confidence is a fragile thing. Not so much self confidence, speaking personally anyway. I always assume, rightly or wrongly, that I will be able to come up with the goods, but confidence that what you produce will be what anybody actually wants is a fragile thing. I always say that an artist's best attitude, psychologically, towards the opinions of other's and towards possible rejection, is to assume that everybody else is wrong. "The fools don't understand my art!" kind of thing. This sounds arrogant and possibly delusional, but it keeps your self belief intact.
The alternative position - vis - "Oh God, I must be totally crap!" isn't useful in any way. It's not going to help you persevere with your endeavors. And you need to persevere. It's bloody hard. Strong self belief helps, justified or not.
The more alert amongst you might have detected a personal note in all this speculation about rejection and downsides. Well done ;-) yes, I am in the middle of what can be called 'A fallow period". Ideas rejected right left and centre, inspiration at an all time low. All that stuff. Not much fun.
So what do you do about it? You carry on. You work through it. You analyze, and adapt if you feel it is needed. You draw on your inner strength and your faith in your own abilities, that's what.
You have to believe that it is just a passing phase, and that things will come together in due course. Though like most things, this is easier said than done.
Remember, you are in it for the long haul, and that time will take its toll. The low level anxiety and uncertainty of many years of freelancing can engender an unwelcome and unhelpful weariness sometimes. . .
But enough whingeing! Styles do go out of fashion. Editors want to create their own lists of artists and writers and not keep using the old guard ad nauseum. Of course they do and of course they should. It's the way the World works.
For my part, I comfort myself with the thought that emotional connection with your audience doesn't go out of fashion, neither does humour nor using animals as protagonists. I probably need to take some time out to draw breath and reconnect with the reason I wanted to write and draw in the first place, then return, refreshed and full of killer ideas. Ho yes.
The funny thing is, that despite the angst ridden wallowing detailed above, the second you get an idea accepted you snap out of it like it never happened. . .
Chin Up ;-)

California Highway Patrol officers in Oakland were peppered with gunfire early Sunday as they wrapped up a traffic stop investigation.
Officers said the shooting happened just before 2 a.m. near the 98th Avenue off-ramp of Interstate 580, a location just blocks away from the scene of a Friday shooting involving a man armed with a rifle firing at residents and police.
While officers were putting the finishing touches on a driving under the influence investigation, they saw muzzle flashes and heard rounds being fired in their direction, police said.
No officers or patrol vehicles were hit during the shooting, but both directions of I-580 were shut down for nearly two hours while police investigated the scene, according to police.
During the investigation, officers found multiple shell casings from where the shots were fired, police said. Police believe the rounds came from a small hand gun.
No suspects have been identified at this time, according to police.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN | APTERA 2e :: MY CAR OF THE FUTURE?
The Runabout: the car of my future. I'm still waiting.
The 1966 book Automobiles of the Future features these images of General Motor's Runabout concept car. Besides having three wheels it also features a built-in shopping cart that slides out of the trunk:
Views of the GM three-wheeled Runabout. This car of tomorrow is fitted with two shopping carts that make up the car's trunk area. The experimental design has been operated with all-electronic controls in proving ground tests.
The experimental small commuter car the Runabout was unveiled at GM's Futurama at the New York World's Fair in 1964, back when "the future" still meant something and GM was a viable company. A three-wheeled hatchback, the Runabout carried two passengers and had ample storage room, much like the Aptera.
In a previous post, I mentioned how I was still waiting for the cars of the future to arrive.
It's 2010 and the industrial design of automobiles is, for the most part, pretty pathetic. I don't know if it's a lack of imagination from industrial designers or if the conservative nature of consumers is to blame (look at the homes we live in). But really, cars have not changed very much in the past couple of decades. Most are ugly, gas-guzzling relics of a pre-peak oil world.
So, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Aptera 2e may be put into production soon.
It's an interesting design, for sure. I like the way that it echoes my car of the future's three-wheeled design.
It may not have a shopping buggy for a boot, but this company seems to get the idea of "the future." Let's hope it's not the next Bricklin:
And, let's not forget Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Car, the forerunner of the future:
The Dymaxion Car: Bucky and his car pose with his 26′ Fly's Eye dome during his 85th birthday party at the Windstar Foundation in Snowmass, Co. in 1981.
The Dymaxion car was designed by Buckminster Fuller in the early 1930s. The car featured highly innovative, and ultimately influential, features compared with the common car of the day including: a three wheel design with rear wheel steering and front wheel drive, a longer body (20 feet), and a highly aerodynamic design. Success of the design was realized in its performance efficiencies: the car could transport up to 11 passengers, reach speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, and ran 30 miles per gallon.
The name Aptera is Greek for "wingless."

|Christmas 2014
So my holiday 4 day weekend was busy and fun and went by too fast! Don't they all though? I spent it shopping, Christmas tree decorating, removing bathroom floor tile, playing Tetris Attack with JoeyWaffles, and just enjoying time at home, I missed posting my Monday Must Haves but since it's my blog, this week it's going to be on Wednesday. Bear with me the next few weeks because life is crazy around the holidays. I have to finish shopping, find shoes for my company holiday party, clean the house, make Christmas cookies, get end of the year stuff done at work and so on and so on. Blogging is such a great outlet to relax, be inspired, and reflect. I love my cozy office so maybe I'll end up writing more.
Now on to the Must Have's!

Vein Problems
Artery Problems & Other Conditions
Lymphoedema is limb swelling resulting from failure of the lymphatic system to transport fluids via lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.
What is Lymphoedema?
The affected limb becomes progressively more swollen, heavy and uncomfortable. As the swelling worsens, skin complications of ulceration, hyperkeratosis and fissuring develop. The limb is prone to recurrent attacks of cellulites which exacerbates the swelling further.
The results of surgical attempts to correct lymphatic obstruction are poor. Treatment is supportive in the form of compression stockings and skin care. Attacks of cellulitis require prolonged antibiotic therapy (eg penicillin V 500mg qds for one month) and elevation during the acute early stage of the infection.
The causes of lymphoedema are shown below:
|Primary lymphoedema
|Congenital (symptoms appear as an infant)
Familial (Milroy's disease)
|Praecox (adolescence)
|Familial and non-familial types
|Tarda (over 35 years)
|Often associated with obesity
|Infection (commonest cause worldwide but not in the West)
|Filariasis (causes elephantitis)
|Malignant obstruction of lymph nodes for metastases
|Especially to axilla for treatment of breast cancer
What part of the body does it affect?
Lymphoedema can affect the limbs, predominantly the legs.
What are the symptoms?
The affected limb becomes progressively more swollen, heavy and uncomfortable. The limb is prone to soft tissue infections called cellulitis.
Is the condition preventable? If so, how?
Patients will have a genetic predisposition towards having lymphodoema but it is also exacerbated by obesity. It can also be caused by some tropical worm infections so avoid wading or swimming in water in high risk areas.
