Group to develop cloud computing audit specifications
Goal is to create standards that provide transparency into cloud infrastructures.
Aiming to tackle security concerns about cloud computing, the Distributed Management Task Force has launched an effort to develop cloud computing audit specifications.
The DMTF, an industry group that develops systems management standards, recently formed the Cloud Audit Data Federation Work Group (CADF), which will develop specifications that address a cloud provider's ability to audit its systems for security.
The work group is "focused on being able to come up with a standard way to federate all the audit information about IT resources, logs and reports, and coming up with a common way to describe and extract that information," Winston Bumpus, DMTF president, said in an interview.
Cloud service customers need to be able to get information on what's going on in the infrastructure, he said. "If there are outages, failures or other events – to be able to expose that in a standard way," he said.
"One of the things cloud tends do is hide a lot of the complexities by having these virtualized environments," Bumpus said. "Understanding what's going on in the infrastructure is important when you're running production applications and services in the cloud."
Ultimately, the group's goal is to instill greater confidence in cloud services. Security is one of the key challenges to achieving the vision of cloud computing, along with interoperability and portability, Bumpus said. Standards like those being developed by CADF are needed "to take advantage of the promise of cloud computing," he added.
The working group will collaborate with DMFT alliance partners, including the Cloud Security Alliance. The CSA's CloudAudit has come up with a standardized namespace, which the CADF group will integrate into its work, Bumpus said.
The CADF effort is part of the DMTF's overall cloud computing strategy. The DMTF's Cloud Management Work Group has released Open Virtualization Format, which Bumpus said addresses the portability issue by providing a standard way to package workloads that are exchanged between clouds. Also, DMTF last year launched its Software License Management Incubator, which is working on the issue of how companies can ensure they're complying with license entitlements when they move workloads from a private data center to the cloud.
The CADF work group plans to release specifications next year.
The DMTF counts 160 member companies and more than 4,000 participants in 43 countries. Its board of directors includes representatives from Cisco Systems, Microsoft, IBM and Intel.

Air Optix Aqua is being discontinued by the manufacturer. If your powers show on the drop down list, then we still have your power in stock and you can order. The direct alternative replacement is Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde
Air Optix Aqua contact lenses are a high quality silicone hydrogel lens, designed for all day comfort. AirOptix Aqua introduces the Aqua moisture system so your lenses remain comfortable all day.
Air Optix Aqua triple system:
A unique moisture agent binds with the surface of the contact lens to create a silky smooth layer that helps the eyelid to glide over the lens for comfort on contact.
Lens dehydration is minimised by incorporating a patented agent into the lens.
Airoptix has a ultra smooth surface with superior wettability and excellent deposit resistance.
Each box contains 3 monthly disposable soft contacts in buffered saline solution. Lenses incorporate a light blue visibility tint for easier handling.
Have you bought any contact lens solutions for your lenses?
We have a large range of All in One Solutions, Soft Lens Rewetting drops to alleviate dry eyes and convenient Multi Purpose Solution Flight Packs - perfect for your next holiday.
I've been using monthly's for two years, it ended up being a waste of money. Every single one I tried made my eyes so dry within an hour, I ended up wasting them and wearing my glasses instead, even though I hate the way I look with glasses. Anyway, tried these and I will never go back! So comfortable, never make my eyes dry, I can wear them all day long. Only problem with them is the price (nice if it could become cheaper but hey ho!) I definitely recommend :D
After using Focus lenses for over 6 years (they were the 1st brand ever offered to me), I began to notice that my eyes would get red, dry and/or irritated if I wore them too long. I decided to take a chance on the AirOptix Aqua lenses and have found them great - my eyes don't get dry or irritated and they are just as good as the other reviews say they are. I'd definitely recommend trying them.

What's in a Name — My New Editorial Page.
A Rose by Any Other Name
What should I call my new Editorial Page?
I decided that I will start a new editorial page. Not long ago I did a daily editorial page called "The Gnomestead Stump" and while I could continue it even after a bit of a gap, I think perhaps I will start a new one.
I have a few reasons for the decision. A number have to do with control of content. I have a more flexibility on a host I pay. I still have to stay within the law of course. I do have recourse to change provider if regulations are not what I care for.
Still, the largest reason I decided to make the change was a matter of the name. "The Gnomestead Stump" is a bit of an odd name. It fit in with the whole "Gnomestead" "Gnome's Garden" motif. I also had the "Gnome's Campfire" and later the "Gnome's Village". I had already used the Gnome's Campfire… I wanted a place where people might come around and listen. So I figured rather than a soap box… a stump, like the log you might sit or stand on by the campfire would work as a base for a name.
Now, I have "The Gnomestead" which I keep in "gnomestead.com" and "The Gnome's Garden". But, I want a better name for my editorial site. Otherwise I could just keep "The Gnomestead Stump" on Blogspot.
Here are my thoughts for a new name:
- The Gnome's Campfire
- The Gnome's Bonfire
- The Gnome's Fireside
- The Gnome's Soapbox
- By the Gnome's Fireplace
- Gnorman's Campfire
- Gnorman's Fireside
- Gnorman's Soapbox
I am not sure if there might be better names or if I should get away from Gnomes and Gnorman… I'm looking for ideas.
Comments (7)
By the Gnomes Fireside has a nice ring to it.
Exactly, what are your hopes for the page? I hope it makes you happy. I can not say WHEN I will be able to "participate", yet. Please, if you want me to be there, all you have to do is ask. I try to support all your projects. XX
Get away from the Gnome stuff, Darrell. In honor of your father, give the editorial page, a name that shares his memory in some way. What a wonderful way to have him alive and fluttering his angels wings with joy every time you are online.

|Oct. 25, 2019 -- A Tibetan cultural delegation, organized by the State Council Information Office of China and led by Jinmei Wangcuo, secretary general of Tibet Association for International Cultural Exchange, visited France, the Netherlands and Lithuania from Oct.14th to Oct.22th.
During the nine-day visit, they met with parliamentary members, local officials, students and teachers of universities, and representatives of overseas Chinese.
The delegation held seminars on Tibetan medicine and the reincarnation of Living Buddhas, gave interviews to present Tibet's achievements in ethnic unity, social and economic development and opening-up in the past 60 years since its democratic reform in 1959, and rebutted the lies that the Dalai Lama group spread overseas.
The delegation also visited French National Assembly and Senate, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Holland-China Friendship Association and some universities.
The delegation left Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, on Oct.22nd, concluding the nine-day visit to Europe.

Image gallery using ColorBox
Here's an example of combining Smooth Div Scroll with a lightbox-style plugin called Colorbox to open up larger versions of the images in an overlay. Eventhough I'm using Colorbox in this example, you should be able to code your own solution for your favourite lightbox-style plugin.
Each image in the scrollable area is surrounded by a href-tag that links to the large image, like this:

The jQuery code looks like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
// Init Smooth Div Scroll
mousewheelScrolling: "allDirections",
manualContinuousScrolling: true
// Init colorbox
$("#makeMeScrollable a").colorbox({ speed: "500" });
First I initialize Smooth Div Scroll. Then I turn all the link tags (a-tags) inside the scroller to colorbox-links by initializing Colorbox.

Remember the guys from Doubletake Clothing? Sure you do, they released the very popular Bears, Beets, Battlestar… tee early on this year. Well, they're back. Sort of. This time the masterminds behind Doubletake Clothing has forged a new alliance with author/artist Craig Damrauer, of New Math fame.
"New Math started as an art book which was sold at MOMA and a number of other museum stores and boutiques in the US and Japan. In the fall CT Editions will publish a collection of New Math, edited by Ed Ruscha. New Math has been seen in GOOD Magazine, the New York Times Op-Ed page, Mother Jones and the German Greenpeace Magazine."
If you haven't checked out New Math: Equations for Living, I urge you to do so. I just picked up a copy from Amazon for a cheap $9.94 and am excited to see what other equations Craig has cooked up.
As far as the shirts go, yeah they're simple – they are supposed to be! They retain the "New Math" look and feel as seen in the book. My favorite from the bunch is the Modern Art equation shirt. Isn't it so true? I think so. For an extra $5 you can even pick up an amazing collectors/gift box. Each of these environmentally friendly boxes features the New Math equation of the shirt.
Not directly associated to the shirts above but somewhat related. You YouTube fans will probably enjoy it:

The sixth chakra or third eye is one of the most talked about energetic centers of the human.
It is in this particular chakra where the individual ego merges with the cosmic ego.
This is where awareness expands to the realization that nothing is separate, that we are truly all one. We have moved beyond the gross elements of earth, water, fire, air, ether and into the realm of light.
In the practice of Kundalini Yoga, the third eye is very important. Almost every kriya uses the sixth chakra as a place of focus to activate the pituitary gland and nourish the third eye.
By literally bringing the eyes to focus at the space between the eyebrows, we are stimulating the area corresponding to the Ajna chakra. "Ajna" means "to command". Through the sixth chakra and pituitary gland we can master our minds.
The third eye allows us to have a clear perception of our reality so we can fully understand our purpose in life. When our sixth chakra connection is strong, we have a reliable intuition and can see the unseen. Some people may experience visions and clairvoyance. On the other end of this spectrum, when we are disconnected from the third eye and our intuition, we can feel confused and depressed. Our mind seems "out of control" and we have a hard time focusing on any one thing. We may also hide behind intellectual analysis and reject spirituality.
Physically, third eye weakness may manifest as eye problems, headaches, sinusitis, or nightmares.

Comparative Tables 2009-2010
What approach has FOS taken to publishing this data?
These Comparative Tables present disputes statistics about named members of FOS. We consulted our members and other stakeholders in the first half of 2010 while we developed our approach to the publication of this data. Our members have supplied data on their businesses to help us to contextualise the disputes data. The approach we have arrived at is quite innovative and, we believe, fair, transparent and useful to both consumers and financial services providers (FSPs). Two key aspects of our approach are worth emphasising.
1. We are displaying the data in product groups
We are not providing a global picture of the disputes performance of particular members. We are publishing tables for specific product groups. We believe this is the fairest and most meaningful way of presenting the information. Some FSPs operate across many product groups, and their disputes performance may be excellent in some product groups and below par in others. These FSPs and their customers will learn a lot more from seeing the data for specific product groups than from seeing global totals that might hide variations across product groups.
2. We are relating dispute numbers to business size
We are giving the number of disputes for each FSP in a product group relative to the size of the FSP's business in that product group. We are not giving the "raw" number of disputes brought to FOS for an FSP in a product group (unless their business size data was not available – see 'What do the tables show?' below). This approach ensures that fairer comparisons can be made between FSPs of different sizes. The size of an FSP's business has been measured in terms of the number of accounts or policies the FSP held for all products in a product group at 30 June 2009.
What period is covered?
The Comparative Tables present disputes statistics from a six month period, 1 January to 30 June 2010, not the full financial year. This is in line with ASIC Regulatory Guide 139, which requires that external dispute resolution schemes like FOS publish this data from 1 January 2010 onwards.
In future Annual Reviews we will publish Comparative Tables that cover the full year. Consequently, the data in tables for future years should not be compared to the data in this year's tables, because they will be for a different period of time.
Do all members of FOS appear in the tables?
So that the data we publish is meaningful, we have set a threshold that restricts the number of FSPs that appear in each table. In this year's Annual Review, each Comparative Table lists the FSPs that had three or more disputes brought to FOS between 1 January and 30 June 2010 in that product group.
The vast majority of our members (around 97%) do not appear in any of this year's Comparative Tables, because they did not have three or more disputes in any product group. You can find out whether an FSP is a member of FOS using the member search available on our website at www.fos.org.au/members.
In future Annual Reviews, when we will be working with data from 12 months, that threshold is likely to be five disputes rather than three.
What do the tables show?
The Comparative Tables give three types of information about each FSP listed:
- Chance of a Dispute Coming to FOS
- Average Length in the Resolution Process
- Outcomes of the Resolution Process.
The glossary entries on these three terms explain in detail what they mean and how we calculated them.
If an FSP listed in a Comparative Table failed to send us data on the size of their business in that product group, we could not, unfortunately, calculate the "Chance of a Dispute Coming to FOS" for this FSP. We have instead stated the actual Number of Disputes consumers brought to FOS about this FSP in this product group between 1 January and 30 June 2010. This means it is difficult to assess whether customers of the FSP in this product group were more or less likely to bring a dispute to FOS than the customers of the other FSPs in the table.
If there are fewer than five FSPs in a table, we do not show the "Chance of a Dispute Coming to FOS" for any of the FSPs in the table. We take this approach to maintain fair comparisons as a market of five FSPs for a product group is small.
How can the tables help me?
Consumers can find out how likely other consumers were to bring a dispute to FOS about a particular product from a particular FSP, and what was the outcome of disputes that were taken to FOS.
Members can compare their disputes performance to that of other FSPs and set targets for their businesses accordingly.
Please note that:
- The numbers for the "Chance of a Dispute Coming to FOS" should not be compared across tables. They should only be used within a table as they cannot meaningfully be used to rank FSPs appearing in different tables.
- The "Average Length in the Resolution Process" is not a measure of time but of progression through the five stages of the process.
How can I find what I'm looking for?
Follow these three steps to find the information you are looking for.
Product groups
Below is a list of product groups and the types of products that fall within each product group. In brackets next to each product group is the business measure that has been used to quantify the size of an FSP's business in that product group.
1. Business Finance
2. Consumer Loans
21. Travel Insurance

You're Welcome w/ Pattern Drama
Presented By
Buy Ticketswww.ticketfly.com
The thought of bringing the best underground house, dance, techno, retro in to Monarch's dungeon disco living room of lust, then filling it with everyone you know and love the most, is what YW's aiming for, pulling for, and dreaming after. Last month's we looked to have a family cuddle, bring out couches, pillows, and blankets to cover the dance floor, for people to relax on after just getting back from a week in the dust. Well relax, we did not. The 13 dj line up of some of YW's favorites in SF led to a wild night of smiles, jumping, grinding, and morning regret. So let's do it all over again? Yes, I agree. This is a night for you, me, him, and her. It's about saying fuck the 9 to 5. It's about being you and embracing the one next to you. There's only one you, SAY YOU'RE WELCOME.
x\\\ Pattern Drama ///x
This man has been on the radar of You're Welcome for some time now, and it makes me giddy as a child on field day to finally have him in the house. After a stellar release on the always top notch Touch of Class Recordings in 2013, Pattern Drama, or to his friends known as Corey Baker, turned the heads of just about everyone in the underground. His smooth, deep, sensual productions, mixed with a keen ear for the unknown have helped push this man to the front of the pack, and well deservedly so. He's no stranger to limelight, after having created the Pattern Drama project alongside Bedouin cocreator Rami Deejay and produced for the UK collective Wildkats. Can he do wrong? Yeah no, it's looking like he can't . Prepare for feelz overload, as Pattern Drama is in the house, prepped and ready to push you in to audible paradise.
x\\\ R. Fentz ///x
To some known as Big Bird, others Papa Yak, others one ½ of Bells & Whistles, others just that lovable goofy tall drink of water. Whatever you call him, it's no secret the amount of musical talent this guy holds within. He's been pushing the San Francisco nightlife bar up higher and higher, holding down a residency for As You Like It the last few years, a residency with Desert Hearts, sharing the bill at our favorite clubs in the city, and more or less just a face you want to see at every party. This guy's got talent, and although You're Welcome has had Bells & Whistles in the building, it hasn't been lucky enough to have a solo R. Fentz set…..until now.
x\\\ Benjamin K ///x
Now come get lost, found, and lost again, we'll see ya on the dancefloor ;) ;)

One of the best things about coming home is opening all the packages that await us. We send mail home regularly when travelling.
There is no way we can NOT buy souvenirs, clothing, knick-knacks, teas and whatever else we come across during our time tramping around the world. But, there is also no way on earth we can carry it on our backs!
ExOfficio, Our Mongol Rally Gear
So each month we send a big box home and get to open it to see all our goodies when we are back in Canada.
This year was even more exciting as people are starting to send us some pretty cool things. Dave received an Olympus camera to test (more on that later this week), we received our GoPro Hero Cameras,(one for us and one for our lucky winner Edelito Sangco), our new CompeGPS Navigation systems for the Mongol Rally welcomed us home, (something we already told you all about and we'll be sharing more in the future, we received our Paris Movie Walks Books (more on that giveaway coming soon) and last but now least, we received a new wardrobe from ExOfficio for the Mongol Rally.
Our team of four – Sherry Ott of Ottsworld, Rick Griffin of Midlife Roadtrip and Dave and I have been working hard all year long to find sponsorship and raise money for charity for our Mongol Rally adventure coming up in July 2011.
It has been one of the greatest learning experiences of our lives and whenever we have success and have a company believe in us enough to give us something to use during the rally, we feel grateful for the hard work that we've all put into the planning.
We were like kids on Christmas morning when my brother Jim and my sis in law Janice brought our packages to my parents place. I couldn't wait to try on our new duds and I had my dad take a photo of us modelling our new attire.
These clothes are not only functional but stylish.
I was so excited for my Chica Cool Long Sleeve Hoodie – This lightweight fashionable top wicks moisture, resists odor (which will be a bonus in the long hot car rides) has an SPF 20 sun guard and is quick drying. This shirt is high tech indeed!
Dave loves his Dryfly Flex Long Sleeve Shirt – The big bonus for this guy is the wrinkle resistant material. No ironing for my man! It's quick drying, lightweight and has an SPF 30 sun guard!
Trekking and Travel pants are always a big expense.
We do a lot of hiking and convertibles are our number one choice for pants. Unfortunately they never look that stylish. I will have to say we are pleasantly surprised about our Ziwa Convertible Pants from ExOfficio. They look good, they are lightweight and comfortable, they are quick drying and have an SPF 30 shield.
But the coolest thing is that they are insect repellent. It's completely odourless but repels those nasty insects that can cause so many illnesses when traveling.
ExOfficio even took care of us right down to our underwear.
Quick drying and easy to clean is the most important factor when it comes to undergarments for travel and ExOfficio has a wide array to choose from.
So now we are ready to walk the catwalk of the great Gobi Desert! Only 80 more days until the start line in England. Where will you be on July 23rd.

FarmVille Valentine Costumes: Dress your avatar as Cupid or a Pink Rabbit
These three costumes actually come in only two varieties - Cupid Costumes, and a Bunny Costume. There is a completely different Cupid Costume available for either boy or girl avatars (the girl costume is a dress with pink wings and red tights, while the boy costume is a white suit with white wings), but both costumes cost the same at 15 Farm Cash each You'll receive 525 experience points for purchasing either one.
The Pink Rabbit costume however, is unisex. While males might scoff at the thought of dressing their avatar as a fluffy pink bunny, I personally think it would be downright adorable. Maybe that's just me though. Regardless, anyone interested can pick up this costume for 10 Farm Cash. You'll receive 350 experience points as a bonus.
All told, these costumes will be available in the game for the next 17 days, bringing us right up to Valentine's Day proper. It's unknown as of now whether or not more costumes will be released in the future, but you'll be the first to know if there are.
Check out the rest of our Valentine's Day coverage right here.
Have you purchased any of these costumes for your FarmVille avatar? Which one interests you the most? Let us know in the comments.

Growing up I always enjoyed making my own maps in every game I played. I always felt that the enemy AI always had the advantage. When I would build maps I would always take the advantages away for both side forcing myself to keep moving in order to stay in cover.
Today I design worlds but I never lost the idea I had as a child. Even today I play test every area of the world I build to ensure that no one person or AI has the advantage. Each area of cover has a weakness and every weakness can be overcome. I know the one thing I hated playing Halo was coming around a corner to find a camper blast me in the face with a shotgun. There are no safe places in any area I design.
When I was asked to join the Dark Relic team I was excited at getting my hands dirty again. I love video games but I always find myself critiquing the world around them. I hope to deliver breathe taking views and a world that pulls you in and makes you feel a part of it.

We are family mediation experts. If you want to avoid court and are looking for a way to resolve your family dispute without using solicitors or going to court, then family mediation may be just what you are looking for.
Why should I use mediation? Nadia explains here.
Family mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution. It is a way of resolving disputes out of court with the help of a mediator. You and your partner meet together with the mediator for mediation sessions which generally last between 1-2 hours. How many sessions you need depends upon you and the nature of your dispute. Family mediation helps couples to reach agreements about their children and their finances. It can be used for one issue or many issues.
The mediator's role is to be independent and impartial. The mediator is not there to tell you what to do or give you legal advice or relationship counselling. The mediator acts as a guide, creating the environment which allows you to talk openly and honestly about your problems to try and reach an agreement. There are lots of different kinds of mediators but we think solicitor mediators are the best. As solicitors mediators we bring our legal knowledge and skills to family mediation and although we cannot give you legal advice we can help you to understand the relationship between mediation and the legal process.
The negotiations which take place in family mediation are privileged and confidential. This means that they cannot be used against you in court proceedings. You are not bound by any agreement reached in mediation until you have taken legal advice on it and the agreement has been drawn up as a court order.
You may be concerned about sitting in the same room as your former partner. This need not be a problem as family mediation can take place when the couple are sitting in separate rooms. Your solicitor can also attend the mediation with you although he or she would not be able to sit in on the negotiations. Rather your solicitor would be on hand to give advice as and when required particularly in relation to any offers made or agreements reached. Even if your solicitor does not attend the mediation it is always useful to have a solicitor so that you can take advice when necessary.
If you reach an agreement in mediation the mediator draws up a document which is sent to your solicitor so that your solicitor can give you advice and if appropriate draw up a court order. If you can't reach an agreement, you can still go to court. Remember, the negotiations which take place in mediation are confidential and cannot be used in any court proceedings.
The cost of family mediation is shared equally between you and family mediation is usually quicker, less stressful and cheaper than going to court.
Perhaps you feel that family mediation really isn't going to work for you and you want to make an application to the court. You will still need to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) with a mediator to obtain a form FM1. You need this form to make most applications to the court in relation to your marriage or your children.
We offer family mediation on all issues. Call Nadia Beckett today for more information. Nadia is a Resolution trained family mediator and follows Resolutions code of conduct in all family disputes.

Safer Internet Day
Today was Safer Internet Day and our school did a webinar. There were 128 countries involved and we were able to answer questions through TodaysMeet. We learnt that once you start posting things online you form a digital footprint. We learnt strategies to stop and make sure that we don't get cyber bullied and what to do if we are. You should set your setting to private when you first set up your account. We learnt that you can never trust anyone online and that we have our rights to feel safe. We always set our settings to private and make sure we feel safe online at all times. Our goal is to make sure that we remember that we do have our rights to go online and feel safe.

It's all about the potential. Can you see it?
With great design, a little nip and tuck goes a LONG way! As soon as we laid our eyes on this bad boy we realized we were seriously and instantly smitten with an inanimate object (despite the slightly outdated "outfit" aka weird printed fabric). With a little TLC, outfit change, and minor liposuction however, this little crush turned into real love! And how could we resist… look at those arms!
One of our favorite parts of what we do, is being involved beginning to end in the transformation process of our upcycled pieces. It all begins with "the find"… maybe it was a garage sale or perhaps something we spotted in the alley and saw the amazing potential. All of a sudden, something that was fated to end up in a junkyard, has had a change in destiny! In no time at all, it's in the back of our truck and we are headed to the fabric store to pick out a new outfit that will bring this "outdated" vintage piece, into modernity! We then decide- should we retain the same details of the original or should we add a little pizazz (i.e tufting, buttons, studs, etc). Should we paint the frame or retain the weathered detail that makes it so unique? Sometimes, we decide that going natural (aka stripping any paint off the frame) is the best way to showcase its beauty. Such was the case of this gorgeous sofa, our newest addition!
Now that it's all prettied-up and looks brand spankin new, it's time for the final step: finding it a new home. So curious to know where this one will end up! Any takers?

Olivia, a "hopefully retired" con-artist, has escaped in a close getaway and is hiding out in the Bahamas. Life has become simple, and she has peter donavan to thank for it. a man who saved her in a job gone bad, and then disappeared to pursue his own hideaway.
Two Months Later... The First Clue Arrives.
Olivia believes it's been planted by Peter, vague and untraceable by design. a cry for help, perhaps. and something she must pursue. she soon finds herself coming out of exile to follow a trail of methodically placed clues, each increasingly savvy; seemingly to insure that she would be the sole person able to follow them. the intention, unknown. her purpose, a mystery. and soon, even the source of the clues becomes dangerously questionable.
And as the puzzle unfolds, she can see only two possible scenarios if she succeeds. One: she arrives on time, as intended, to fulfill her purpose. Or two: she arrives on time, as intended... and it's too late to turn back.
Olivia, a professional con artist, is putting together a team. Along with her current accomplice, Jillian, she figures they'll need two more as they case a millionaire named Jerry Mallore, having followed him to, of all places, the theme park land of orlando, florida.
Olivia quickly locates an old flame from way back named Jack. An ex-scammer himself, he's long since gone straight, working as a bar manager of an Irish restaurant just outside the wacky theme parks. His uniform involves kilts. She knows he'll be in.
Joining up with Jack, and ultimately his younger brother Kip, they set out to get between Jerry and his shady cash transaction. The plan? Sawy. Complex. Borderline ridiculous. But it'll be flat-out brilliant if they can pull it off, creating the ultimate illusion in the land of illusions, and ultimately relieving jerry of hundreds of thousands of dollars and leaving him, quite literally, not even sure what day it is.
An exploitation of con-genre, "The Fiddle Game" introduces a character like no other, as we meet the mysterious Olivia "Jane Doe" through the eyes of Parker—a young, self-proclaimed scam artist who thinks he's clever in the way he and his friend Dave do petty shoplifting scams around town and pull off cash tricks from their job at a local marina. Then along comes Olivia, a real grifter. She takes Parker for $300 in a short con, only to give the money back later that same day. Why? She tells him she's got plans for them. From there, it's her game. She brings Parker into a "long con" that she seems to be teaching him in pieces, as each small con leads into a larger one. And Parker knows he is always one step behind as his world is repeatedly turned on its head. Inject a tricky romance, and things get even more complicated. Is he the next target? And if he is, is there anything that this girl has missed that might possibly let him get a step ahead?
"If there's one thing you're going to have to learn," Olivia tells him, "when dealing with me? The answers don't always come in the order of the questions."
Run - A Getaway Story
If we meet Olivia Jane Doe in "The Fiddle Game," then we begin to know her in "Run." Because Olivia had always had a plan. Until now. In fact, her latest high-risk plot now looks like nothing more than a wish list as she finds herself stranded in the most desolate area of Southern Baja with a bag of money she can't risk carrying, a car she's forced to ditch, and an "out" that has been completely burned. The man after her is powerful and has people everywhere. These dire straits will push her to places until now ignored. From her earliest days as a seventeen-year-old "short con operator," to her brief moments of vulnerability in romance, to the vast array of things tragically lost but never mourned, and ultimately to her biggest and most dangerous failures to date that have led to this: raw escape and survival. Unfortunately, this time Olivia is ignorant to the big picture, and to the chain of events that have resulted from her actions. And now she's the one who's a step behind. And she's the one who doesn't see the fit of the puzzle. And if she's learned anything throughout her jaded life on the grift, it's that if there's something she can't figure out, then there's somebody who wants it that way.

THAT'S SO TEST SCENT: Tailgate
Products: candle
Area used in: bedroom
Time Period: mid-September - November
Description: Capture all the fun of tailgating on a fall afternoon in a blend of rich hickory, football leather and a touch of moss
When I heard about this candle months ago, I knew that I had to have it. I hoped/wished/prayed that it would go wide, but I had a sneaky suspicion that it wouldn't; it was far too unique and ....cologne-y. Sure enough, it didn't go wide and it disappeared into obscurity...and no one was more disappointed than I. But I still wanted it so badly! So one day I decided to steel my nerves and call around to a couple of test stores to see if any of them had it. Sure enough, Paramus still had it in stock. With that said, Tailgate has the honor of being my very first (and probably last) test store phone order.
After sniffing it, I did really like it. However I could understand why it didn't go wide. It's not funky or anything but it's far from breathtaking. It's very different and unique, in a good way I think. But I can definitely see why your average BBW enthusiast would not like this scent.
Performance-wise, Tailgate is A+! I was a bit concerned about wicks which were thin and ropey but they wound up burning like a charm. They had nice sized mushroom tops which led to very high dancing flames and a consistent deep and even wax pool. Throw-wise, I'd say it's medium-ish ; it fills a room but it certainly doesn't knock you out when you walk in.
Onto the scent... *big loud sigh *eyeroll
Yes, it's....cologne-y! It kinda has a Old Spice vibe to it; to me it smells more like a body spray. I can see the young men playin touch football on the label spraying themselves with a fragrance like this. My bf thinks it smells like soap or body wash. I totally get it, it's like one of those man-inspired body washes...Old Spice, Axe, Dove. When I sniff it, I envision a group of hot jocks dirty from bein out on the field soapin themselves in the shower.
....excuse me for a sec. I do believe I gave myself the vapors writing that...
Ok I'm back.
As soon as you sniff this, you instantly get a whiff of outdoors. There's an inescapable feeling of being outside when you smell it, like Autumn or Sweater Weather. I can honestly say that for once the notes/description are very accurate, you really can smell everything. The "football" leather note is very legit and is the first thing that hits your nose. The hickory and moss notes trail right behind it; the hickory note is crisp and sweet and the moss note adds an earthiness and combined, the two notes are what gives Tailgate that outdoorsy vibe. You really do get the feeling of being out on a brisk autumn afternoon watching guys tackling each other.
...got myself excited again..
And perhaps my nose is playin tricks on me, but there's a note that I can't quite decipher and isn't mentioned in the description. There's a sweet red woodland berry-like note that my nose keeps picking up. I know I'm not trippin, Touchthefiretwice said the exact same thing in his review. It's not bad, just strange; I wish I knew what that note was exactly.
Now because Tailgate didn't have a matching wallflower bulb, I used Boathouse Row (which luckily I bought online before it disappeared) as they both share that moss note and have that same outdoorsy manly vibe. Usually, the bf and I light candles in the bedroom at night. Honestly, this isn't a night time candle. Because there's a warmth to it, Tailgate is better suited for the afternoon or early evening. At the risk of sounding cliché, this honestly would be a fun candle to burn during a football game/tailgating party.
I'm definitely digging this scent; it's very different and unique...probably a little too different and unique. Perhaps we'll see it again in the future with a new name and/or look; I'd definitely buy it again!

Finding new lunch and snack ideas for the kids over the summer is on my to-do list. We wasted no time. The first day of summer break and we were experimenting in the kitchen with classics like pizza dough and not so favorites like spinach. My kids eat what I serve but I want them to enjoy the food I make so we made these Spinach & Cheese Bites extra kid friendly with lots of cheese.
Enjoy right from the oven, room temperature or warmed up from the freezer. This batch makes 24 bites(muffin size).
Spinach and Cheese Bites
1lb pizza dough homemade or packaged. (crescent rolls would work to)
1lb frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1tbls olive oil
2 tsp garlic
1 tsp onion powder
1tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
4oz softened cream cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella
pinch (or more) red pepper flakes
Roll out small balls of pizza dough and spread them into each well of 2 muffin tins. Set aside to rest.
In a medium-hot skillet add olive oil and spinach. Break up to cook away all the moisture. Add garlic, onion powder and salt & pepper. Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 400°
In a large bowl stir together your cooled spinach mixture, cheeses, pepper flakes and more salt and pepper to taste.
Add spoonful of spinach to each muffin well on top of the pizza dough.
Bake for 15-18 minutes till cheese is bubbly and dough is golden brown.
The kids ate these with NO hesitation and actually said they were delicious. Win for MOM!
Come join me and my co-hosts, Sarah of Play to Learn with Sarah, Paula at Frosted Fingers and Sara at Sensibly Sara, each week linking up a post, new or old, that feature the theme Kids in the Kitchen. It doesn't matter what you are doing as long as you are doing it together, enjoying it and learning something along the way.
- preparing healthy snacks
- having a tea party
- counting skills with m&ms
- pouring from measuring cups
- discovering a local restaurant that your kids love
- creating new family friendly recipes
You'll find so many more ideas on the #KidsintheKitchen Pinterest Board.

The Britanica will be filled with life this weekend as Stoke City play at home against Aston Villa in what should be a pretty one sided contest. The home side are a much better side and their opponents are all but over as far as their life in the Premier League is concerned. I am expecting Villa to get smashed here and the bookmakers agree with me. That being said, there is still a ton of value in this match and we can exploit this well I think.
Firstly I think that we can bet on the handicap here. I normally don't bet on the handicap in EPL since the teams always compete well but I think we can have an exception here since Aston Villa are simply way too poor. We are getting a good enough price on Stoke City -1 and I think that this is a good bet so I will be putting on quite a big wager.
Secondly, I expect a lot of goals. Stoke are really good going forward and Aston Villa are really poor at the back. I think that the likes of Shaqiri and Bojan will have field days and they will take advantage of this and put a lot of goals in the back of the net. I am expecting a 3-0 or 4-1 result here so this is a really good bet in my opinion.
Overall though, I think that this game is simply going to be about these bets. There is no real interest as an observer here since Aston Villa have shown that they are a terrible side. The home side will love their team winning but they are the only ones who will watch since this is going to be a bad game as far as the neutral viewer is concerned.

Duration: One day - 10am to 4pm
Price: £95
Book with:
Dilys Fisher
at Rosy M Design
About the Course
Dilys Fisher of Rosy M Design has been running enamelling courses since 2005. This is a wonderful ancient craft where enamel powder (ground glass) is applied to copper and is then fired in a kiln for approx. 1 minute until the enamel becomes molten and attaches to the copper.
Courses are suitable for both complete beginners and those with some experience. By working with only one or two students you have a lot of individual tuition.
Beginners are shown how to prepare the copper, apply the enamel and use the kiln. Once this is done there are many different techniques to explore enabling such things as jewellery, wall hanging, buttons, 3D work etc to be produced. Stencil work, swirling - moving the molten enamel around whilst still in the kiln, sgraffito to name but a few techniques. Students usually take home with them at least 3 completed pieces depending on what is made.
Enjoy some creative time to yourself or book with a friend, also great to give as a present.
If booking with a CraftCourses voucher for part or all of the course fee, please fill in the contact form above. Your voucher code must be provided at the point of booking.
What's included in the price?
All tools and equipment are provided including aprons.
Students pay for materials used on the day which could be approx. £15 each depending on what is made.
Drinks will be available throughout the day. Please either bring a packed lunch with you or use one of the local cafes or pubs for lunch.
Bought a day's class for my husband and me as a Christmas gift and we booked for yesterday. Had a comfortable stay in a local hotel (1min away!) on Dilys' recommendation so arrived fresh for our day. Dilys runs her classes in her own home which was so cosy and welcoming . Had a good safety briefing then proceeded to choose our first pieces that were completed before the break for lunch. We are hooked on this enameling thing! The rest of the day was just as productive and we ended up with 5 pieces to take home (plus a few things that Dilys had previously produced. In addition, we left with a wealth of information about products and techniques as well as some confidence to 'play' with our own kiln and projects. Will not be our last visit to Dilys! Wonderful day. Thank you.
Karen Bartleet - - #19636
Had such a fab day with a friend learning to enamel. Dilys was such a good teacher and I was amazed at the quality if the pieces we managed to make under her guidance. Everything was provided and I mean everything, including glasses wipes and throat sweets for my cold! Such an enjoyable day. Thank you.
Amanda - - #18219
Dilys is fab, had this course for my birthday present and have been back 3 times since the first! I can't recomemd it enough!!
Rosie O - - #17622
This enamelling course was given to me as a Christmas present. I was able to share this gift with my daughter and sister. Dilys welcomed us into her home and workshop and nothing was too much trouble, she even arranged for us to have an early lunch so that we could watch some of the royal wedding.
She is an excellent teacher, carefully explaining and demonstrating the different techniques as well as the health and safety of using the kiln. She allowed us to make whatever we wanted and just guided through each method. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable day and being inspired by her own stunning examples, we each made a collection of maple leaves, flowers, a plaque and my daughter even had time to make a small cross.
I would highly recommend the course and will be definitely be booking a follow up course to learn the techniques of Cloisonné.
Thank you Dilys.
Rose - - #15055
Just spent the most wonderful day at Dilys' studio. She is a calm, informative tutor, providing quality instruction in a a homely environment.
We created a variety of pieces, including leaf art, coasters dragonflies and unique art designs. Dilys demonstrated a range of techniques and then supported us in our creations. Nothing was too much for her and she gave us cups of tea!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day and came away very proud of our craft.
Thank you Dilys xx
Jo Ollington - - #14801
What a fantastic day. I'm still thinking about it three days later and itching to have another go. It's incredible how much we achieved in one day - all down to Dilys of course! Dilys is an excellent teacher, very passionate about enamelling and also very patient when we kept asking questions. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to have a go at enamelling - it's amazing and you'll definitely get the enamelling bug!
Jean Skerritt - - #12730
I am not the most creative of people, so when friends suggested an enamelling day I was a bit apprehensive. However, the day was with Dilys (and Chloe) and it was brilliant! Dilys is such a lovely, generous person and this comes across in the excellent way she teaches. She guides you through the day with a calm encouragement and before you know it, you're experimenting with different techniques and excitedly waiting to see what treasures might emerge from the kiln! Dilys' workroom is a comfortable space full of all the materials you need. Thank you Dilys for giving me the enamelling bug and hope to book another day before too long!
Lin Gregory - - #12727
What a brilliant day! Dilys is a really excellent teacher and a master of her craft. I went with two friends and can confess to feeling a little nervous about it all. Dilys is very calm and full of enthusiasm and encouragement which enabled each one us to make something special. Her workshop is brilliantly organised and we had a lovely range of materials and tools to work with. Dilys is a generous artist,an experienced tutor and a very lovely woman. Thank you for a very special day Dilys.
Janet Parker - - #12725
We have just returned home clutching the enamelled items that we made. We have attended a lot of courses booked through Craft Courses and this was one of the best. Careful tutoring with the right level of intervention so you are supported but not left 'watching'. We were both surprised how quickly we gained confidence during the day and tried more detailed pieces - from a zero experience base. Dilys is an excellent teacher but also a master of her craft. Highly recommended.
Jeremy Wyman - - #12368
Dilys is a top notch professional tutor who really knows her craft. This knowledge combined with her lovely personality make for a fun, rewarding and creative day out. I can't wait to get back for a second workshop!
Lynley - - #11564
What a fantastic day. I have no creative skills but my daughter, who is very creative, asked me to go along with her. However, Dilys is a fantastic, patient and inspiring teacher who enabled me to produce some fantastic earrings and a pendant whilst my daughter explored a number of different techniques and made a whole range of wonderful items. It has inspired both of us to want to take up enamelling as a hobby and we will certainly be returning to have another session. Lovely little dog too!
Carol Octon - - #10892
We took this amazing day course as a part of my friend's birthday. It was such a good choice and so much fun! I flew in from Switzerland and was so happy I did. If only I lived closer, I believe the lovely Dylis would have turned me into an enamelist. Be it her welcoming and helpful personality, her precious dog Chloe or the excitement of watching your projects turn into beautiful but easy masterpieces, I would have certainly been a goner! Perhaps there will be another trip in my future! Thank you so much for a wonderful time! Happy enameling!
Tricia Douglas - - #8132
I chose Dilys's course from a list of ideas for my daughters 30th birthday, and what a great idea it was! Dilys took 4 complete novices and helped us produce beautiful pieces to take home and show off. She is a wonderful teacher, calm and encouraging, with a sense of fun. I've told all my friends about it and I certainly hope to go back and do more.
Sue Phillips - - #8128
A day with Dilys is a day to remember, from the moment she and the delightful Chloe greet you into their charming home to the moment you wrap up your creations to take home. The atmosphere and style of teaching are perfectly paced and simple enough for even the least creative of people to go away with professional peices you can be truely proud of. Thank you for sharing stories and laughs with us Dilys, I look forward to recommending my friends come and see you. And I'm sure we'll be back for those wedding favours!!!
Katy Phillips - - #8117
I spent a fantastic day with my Mum, my Sister and her friend, Tricia at Dilys's house yesterday! It was a surprise for my Sister's 30th! From the outset, Dilys made us feel welcome. Her knowledge of enamelling is amazing, her teaching style is educational, fun and also strangely relaxing!! We all left with 3 different pieces of work that we were all immensely proud of! I can see another visit in the not too distant future!!
Jennie - - #8107
Had a lovely day celebrating my 60th birthday. Although I have done many arts and crafts this was my first attempt at enameling and it was so good I can honestly say it wont be my last. (Sorry Dilys we will be back)!!! Concentration is needed but both my daughter and I came out feeling so relaxed completely de-stressed. If thinking about enameling - just do it, what ever your age or ability you will be warmly welcomed and leave feeling like an artist. Just be warned - Dilys's home is amazing, both she and her husband have fantastic artistic talents, I have my eye on a water colour for my next birthday present. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. Helen

Our workshop with Dilys was a fantastically rewarding day. The perfect mix of being relaxing yet exciting at the same time! With no previous experience of enamelling I was surprised with the amount of craft we left with, feeling very proud of our efforts. Dilys is the perfect teacher, calm, gentle and evidently passionate about her art. Her studio is welcoming, homely and the perfect venue to feel you are receiving 1st rate tutorage. Highly recommended.

I have just spent a very enjoyable day with Dilys and can recommend her course to anyone - beginners through to more experienced. I learnt so much in a very friendly, comfortable, environment . The workshop is brilliant with everything you could need and Dilys is an excellent teacher. I will definitely be keeping in touch and booking again. Thank you.

My husband and I had a lovely day with Dilys, and felt so welcome from the outset. We were both delighted with how much we learned, and by the lovely things we made under Dilys's expert guidance. Dilys is a very patient teacher who pitched the day at exactly the right level for us, making us feel very comfortable and confident. We would highly recommend this course. Thank you Dilys!

Came back for a 2nd day with Dilys and this time brought my sister and my Mum. I knew they would catch the same enthusiastic bug as I did and sure enough, by the end of the day we had another 2 enthusiastic novice enamellers. To quote my 70 year old mum, " it's been like having a day out with a mate instead of being with a tutor. Dilys is so patient, friendly and helpful that you don't feel like you're being taught, rather that you are just all having a fun day out. It was engrossing and so different. I loved it".
Thanks again Dilys. Xx

Myself and three friend went along for a day to try our hand at enamelling . Three of us were newcomers, and one had been before.
We all had such fun - it is so exciting when you walk into a craft room full of little bottles of colour.
I was worried it was going to be difficult but found it quite easy to pick up - although more visits may be required to explore the colours!
Dilys was a lovely teacher, who made us all feel very welcome and pitched the course at just the right level. I am very much looking forward to booking again because I would like to explore enamelling pictures and creating images through enamel.
Liz Henwood - - #4412
I have taken advantage of 2 of Dilys' enamelling workshops and have discovered a love of enamelling and will definitely be booking another one.
The tuition is excellent and I was amazed at the wonderful pieces I came away with. Dilys was very patient and positive, making you feel wonderful about your creations.
For me the fact that you can take away what you have made on the day (unlike lampwork and glass fusion) was an added bonus.
Karen Walters - - #4406
A superb day enamelling with Dilys - thoroughly recommended. The breadth of different enamelling techniques and the variety of styles to see in her workshop is absolutely inspiring - a day is not enough!
Dr Joe Diggins - - #3726
I booked this day as a 7th anniversary treat for my husband and brought along our 16 year old daughter. We had a fantastic day with Dilys and it was wonderful to see Dad and daughter getting such a thrill from their creations. The day was paced perfectly for us as complete novices and we were totally delighted with our efforts. I can't recommend this highly enough for anyone wanting to try a new skill and have a fun day out doing something different. Thanks again Dilys.
Sandra Willuams - - #3502
My husband and I came and spent a day with Dilys in her studio, learning enamelling. We came as part of our 10 year wedding anniversary weekend trip to Bath. We both enjoyed the course very much and found Dilys to be a calm, supportive and a very creative teacher. We came away with quite a few finished pieces which we were really pleased with. We would thoroughly recommend the course and would love to come back one day and learn more!
Rebecca Burston - - #3422
We had a fantastic day with Dilys at her studio and could not be more pleased and encouraged. We are complete beginners and had no experience of enamelling whatsoever. We both made 3 pieces under expert guidance and were made to feel that we could do anything! Her calm approach to teaching was so encouraging. If you've had any thoughts of trying this, just do it. It's great and Dilys made us feel like professionals!
Kate and Kevin - - #2098
I dont know where to start! I booked the course with Dilys in order to be able to learn how to teach some basic enamelling to my secondary age students. The amount of help, advice and support I received was incredible. Dilys went above and beyond any prior expectations that I had in mind. She was so generous and so incredibly friendly that I really didn't want to leave at the end of the day.
I will most definitely be going back to learn even more, thank you so much Dilys, you're amazing!
Lorraine Bennett - - #1410
Rob: I booked a day course with Dilys as an anniversary surprise for my partner. I'm not particularly artistic or creative, but felt that it would be a day that we would enjoy together. I was not disappointed - Dilys made us feel welcome and her enthusiasm, patience and skill ensured that we both had an enjoyable and productive day creating works of art of which we are each extremely proud. The only negative to the day was that it passed way too quickly. We are already booked in for a second day when we will learn further techniques and practice what we have already learnt. This was a perfect way to spend our anniversary - thank you Dilys.
Philippa: After weeks of waiting, my surprise was revealed! Rob and I had a wonderful day with Dilys. Neither of us had done enamelling previously but both of us are delighted with our first attempts, and immensely proud to see pictures of them on the Rosy M Design website. Dilys is a patient, supportive and inspiring tutor and we are looking forward to returning for another day of creativity so we can build on our new-found skills. Thank you Dilys.
Rob & Philippa - - #1407
My cousin and I had a brilliant day with Dilys. We were made extremely welcome and she was so enthusiastic about passing on her knowledge of enammaling. A thoroughly enjoyable day and well worth repeating.
Heather Harrington - - #1281
My friend & I has a wonderful day with Dilys we didn't want it to end. We were made so welcome, gained a wealth of knowledge and came away feeling inspired and wanting to continue learning more about enamelling. I would recommend to anyone considering taking up enamelling or just wishing to learn a new skill to do a course with Dilys, she is an excellent, patient teacher. I can't wait till I return to the UK again in July so I can have another day motivational day with Dilys.
Angie Morris - - #999
Just in from a brilliant day as a beginner learning under the expert tuition of Dilys. Car park easy to find currently £5.20 for 8hrs. The mentioned stairs up to work room on first floor being normal carpeted household stairs. Managed to fit in two pieces, one of which Dilys helped me to include at least 5 of the techniques she had shown us on the vast array of samples. We had lunch at the nearby Craft Cafe as recommended by Dilys, very good community project serving basic but very tasty food £3.30 for a cheese/onion toastie. Dilys explains very clearly and comprehensively the various processes, with the course being very much hands on, she is very patient and made us feel very proud of what we achieved.
Gill - - #913
Dilys provided a fantastic day for my sister, my mother and me. We learned a huge amount and all took home work we were proud of. We even booked another day before we left.
Thanks Dilys.
Kirsty Jones - - #903
I had no experience in enamelling when I booked my course with Dilys although I had done some glass fusing before. It was a lovely day, I learned so much Dilys makes you feel so relaxed it made everything seem so easy and the whole the day very enjoyable. I made 3 pendants which I love. I now have my own kiln and hope to go back for another course to learn more in the near future.
Jan Fennelly - - #901
Three of us went for a birthday treat. We all had a truly wonderful day. Dilys makes you feel so relaxed and at home. totally enjoyed every minute of it, made a number of items to take home too. Loved it so much that we've booked up again.
Clare - - #886
I booked a one day enamelling course as a birthday treat for my Mum, as I wanted her to have something to keep, but also for us to spend time together. I am not a particularly creative person & certainly not arty at all, so I wondered how well I would do. I have to say that I am now hooked! Dilys is a great teacher, very patient, helpful and encouraging...and she was as excited as we were to see our pieces come out of the kiln. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day. I found the enamelling quite easy to do & there were so many different effects that you could create. I actually found it extremely relaxing too. By the end of the day, I had made a total of 5 different pendants. 2 for myself, 1 for each of my daughters and one that will be a birthday present for a friend. My mum made 3 different pendants for herself & bought some matching earrings & a ring that Dilys had made and my sister-in-law made a pendant and a coaster. So you can do as much or as little as you want to and Dilys will give you as much or as little help as you like. I have to say I highly recommend the day & I'm sure I will attend one of Dilys's courses in the future (I hope so anyway!)
Karen Ryder - - #661
I have attended several courses each has been fantastic, I've learnt lots and my confidence has grown. I now have a kiln at home and still love enamelling.
Katie Sanderson - - #631
This was an excellent course and Dilys is a brilliant and knowledgable teacher. I attended the course with my Dad and sister who had done some enamelling before but I was a complete beginner and she was fantastic at helping all of us produce pieces that we were really pleased with. She showed us a variety of techniques and skills and we all came away wanting to do more enamelling! I'd highly recommend this course. Thank you Dilys for a very enjoyable day.
Jenny Litten - - #596
My daughter and I have just spent 4 very happy days learning to enamel with Dilys. I am delighted with what we have achieved; some really satisfying and beautiful work! I would recommend this course to anyone. Dilys is an excellent and lovely teacher and really helped us bring our ideas into form.
Rachel Nickells - - #582
Booked the workshop as wanted something memorable to do with my mum. We had a great day and made some lovely pieces even though we were not experienced or particularly 'arty'. Dilys is a great host and teacher who provides as much advise as required.
Alison Prior - - #563
Dilys has a vast knowledge of all aspects of enamelling. She is endlessly encouraging and has honed a superbly equipped small studio in which the atmosphere is relaxed and positive. Dilys skilfully tailors her teaching to the needs and experience of her students. She is an inspiration as a teacher and a person. A day with Dilys is a treat for both beginners and those of us continuing to learn.
Sue Hallissey - - #448
Dilys was so lovely and a great teacher. I enameled two pendants which i love and ilearnt a lot of techniques. I would highly recommend.
Hannah Paulley - - #446
I attended a day course with my friend for her Birthday treat (she is very creative & I knew this would be right up her street!) and we had a lovely day. I am not very creative but after a few hours spent with Dilys I had released the creative me with had made the most Beautiful enamelled key rings & necklace. Dilys is passionate & her creative enthusiasm for this art is the first thing I noticed. Dilys was very patient and shared with us the many techniques that can be used to create diffrent effects. The courses are fantastic, an absolute must for anyone! Would definitely recommend - Thank you :)
Penny Woods - - #445
I first attended one of Dily's courses three years ago, since then attending many more. Dilys is a 1st class teacher who is passionate about this craft with the amazing ability to nurture and encourage the best out of you. As I have experienced this course is equally ideal to take part as a group or to do on your own as it is so easy to become totaly absorbed in the whole process. I have all ways been amazed at what I have achieved -Pendants, necklace, plaques etc, this is a very enjoyable and rewarding day and one that I would definitely recommend.
Catherine Brown - - #444
Dilys is a great teacher, passionate about her craft which she loves sharing with you. I have attended a few of her courses and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Enamelling is an exciting craft and you will be amazed at what you can produce. I have made jewellery, pictures etc - I am not very arty but was able to produce some fantastic pieces. An enjoyable day that you won't want to end....:)

Collecting rare pieces of art, jewelries, stamps or antique furniture have long been regarded as a unique source of excitement for countless people. In fact, there are even those who spend a fortune to start a classic and antique automobile. These rare pieces of craft are priceless and every care is to be taken to preserve them. Taking care of a vintage automobile is not a cheap pastime and therefore, the need to protect them should be the outmost priority.
Unfortunately, when these items are stolen or damaged many of its owners will be shocked to know that their priceless automobile collections do not even have a full covered by any type insurance even with their regular homeowner's policy coverage.
Perhaps you might be wondering if a regular insurance coverage is enough to cover your vintage collection – the short answer is no. They are different in many aspects, and if you are planning to purchase an insurance coverage for your collection, it is always better to go to an insurance provider who specializes into such kind of coverage.
There was a point in time that a car becomes classic as soon as it gets 25 years old; and becomes an antique it was more than 50 years old. However, this no longer holds true today. Today's classic cars are those manufactured between the 1940's and mid 60's and that the manufacturer does no longer exist (such as Packard, Rambler or Studebaker) while antique cars were those made prior to 1940.
There were also newly manufactured cars that were considered as classic cars such as the case of Delorean in 1984 because of its limited numbers and unique specifications.
Differences of Insurance Coverage
Basically, there are differences when it comes to the insurance coverage of a classic or antique car from the cars that we normally used regularly.
Most antique vehicles are usually stored in a safe place or storage facility with a very minimal usage each year. Generally, these cars are only used for special occasions such as tours, car shows or parades.
Insurance providers are a lot tighter when it comes to insuring classic cars – typically, the driver's history is the major determinant in this situation. While minor faults such as improper turns or sudden change in lanes are usually excused, major accidents for the past 3 to 5 years will become unfavorable. If you are in this situation, you will find it rather difficult to get your classic car insured.
Another important thing to remember – whether you are into stamp collections, arts, jewelries, cars or even comics – there is the need to take care of those stuffs properly because they tend to increase their value overtime. When they do, the repairs needed to restore them are likewise costly. If you want to save money on repairs, preventive maintenance and regular checkups should be practiced.
Lastly, make sure your classic car undergoes to the so-called "yearly insurance check-up". This will ensure that your car has the right coverage, and that it is fully protected in case something unfortunate happens.

With the overwhelming amount of self-proclaimed creatives out there dabbling in the art of design, it can be a bit difficult to catch people's eye. There has to be something special about what one produces, rather than just throwing bleach on a shirt or shredding garments for the distressed look. This seems to be a concept inevitable for most upcoming designers to not comprehend. Very few quality dilettantes of the industry understand that fashion is most appreciated when executed in a personalized form rather than according to trends.
Founder of Palacose, nineteen year old Ezla Lewis, manifests a promising illustrious designer in due time. He showcased his "Felicity" collection this past Sunday in Houston, Texas. Before displaying his work off to the public, Lewis was behind the scenes making sure everything was running according to plan. Models patiently waited to walk the runway, standing polished and primed.
His creations embody sophistication, create an ageless attractiveness and implement modern threads such as ripped jeans and hoodies with tailored silhouettes and classic button downs. His European inspired approach in composing this collection can be seen in the use of slight cubism with Picasso-esque faces and delicacy of colors, material, etc. Lewis's vision is simply tasteful, refined, and appealing.

Thats great feedback! Thank you Paul - really appreciate that... I will make amendments...
Thats great feedback! Thank you Paul - really appreciate that... I will make amendments...
Thanks again. I've made the corrections you've suggested, although I was slightly unsure of these things:
if the decoupling caps for VA should be before or after the ferrite bead.
if the CAT811T is wired correctly.
if PIN1 / CS is setup correctly with two resistors and solderable pad options. Due to my inexperience, I wasn't sure how to represent this on a schematic.

Hallo everybody.
I made al the mod on teensy 3.2 to work with 2 audioboard and quad-channel.
I had some issue playing on both board at the same time: i get very fragmented audio on each channel.
I don't get this problem when I play audio file on only one of the teo audio board. Any suggestion about ho to solve this?
Thank you vary much in advance
I bought three of these boards back when they came available. After sleeping on the shelf for nearly a couple of years, I grabbed one and set out to do my first SMD build in about 5 years. I can solder up a vacuum tube amp board in about 3 hours, but I designed it so I know where all the parts go. This little guy took me three days of squinting through a microscope and soldering my fingers. It's kinda ugly, and not all of the parts are the right size, but it's finished.If you make one of these boards, please join the conversation!
I popped a T3.2 on top and loaded up the code I made from the fragment on the OSH park page and the original "guitar' code. I wired the mixed to all 8 output channels so I could test them. After fixing a few typos it worked. This will be part of the fourth music synthesizer I have built with a Teensy as the "brain." I tested with a T3.2, so that there were minimal variables in case things didn't work. The T3.6 will be next. This one will be a 6 voice polyphonic hybrid digital /analog synth with Moog style ladder filters for that fat Moog sound.
The CS42448 board and Teensy are needed for the next step, which is tweaking out some ladder filter designs and trying out some new ideas on them. The CS42448 / T3.6 will use the same code I'm using in my current Teensy 3.6 synth. Progress will likely be sporadic since I have taken on a contract engineering job that gets first priority. I will post pictures and details as the project progresses.
The first synth was your audio tutorial on a white breadboard with a bunch of pots wired to it. Number two is a small perfboard still based on and compatible with the tutorial, with 12 pots, 3 push buttons, 3 encoders and 1 V/oct CV / gate inputs added. It can be driven bu a music keyboard. I use the Arturia Keystep since it has 5 pin MIDI, USB MIDI and 1V/OCT I/O.
Number 3 is a big breadboard with 49 pots, 4 encoders, and 1 V/oct CV / gate inputs. It's still running it's Kickstarter edition of the prototype Teensy 3.6.
It is seen here on a Youtube demo video. This was before I got the 1V/oct calibrated well enough for the synth to be played with a keyboard or DAW.
I'm including a picture or two of the synth being played on a deck overlooking the Atlantic ocean on a vacation trip. I wanted to set it all up in the sand down by the water but the wind was creating a full on sandstorm which would have ruined it......and my eyes.
Here is a picture of a Moog style ladder filter breadboard made with vacuum tubes.....it won't fit in the guitar, so i'll keep working on the SMD stuff.
hi there,
I had the same issue as mmalex with the CS42448 not working properly, VQ at 1.25V instead of 2.5V and muted outputs.
my fix for it is to set bit 0 (a reserved bit) in the CS42448 FunctionalMode register to 1:
I contacted Cirrus support and they told me it's not possible and the chip should work without that bit set - well as mmalex and me found out that is not true for all chips or setups.Code:// set the magic bit! __write(CS42448_Functional_Mode, 0xF4 | 0x01 );
we have this on 3 prototype boards so its also not an one-off soldering error.
I've added a comment in the CS42448 code with a link to this thread.
Paul, I'm wondering what do you use to create gerber files? I mean which application (KiCad or something else).
And if there is a chance that you could share the source file of the CS42448 board? I would want to readjust it for T4. And augment a little (I don't need the on-board jacks, just the pads to solder to the prev/next stages, so I could make it even more compact), but it would really be nice to readjust the proven-to-work source rather than to create a new one from scratch.
The same question is about the MIDI board source (the one from https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_MIDI.html). Because I would likely want to have both on a single PCB and it would be cool to merge the boards.
Thanks! Though if there is an option I would really prefer the «tested by multiple people» version . And thank you for opensourcing your thing.

This is just a quick post to announce my new blog, Fascinating Journeys.
It uses cheap hosting from AccuWebHosting (as does this site), along with the free WordPress content manager, and a paid-for premium theme called Lifestyle, which is part of the Genesis Framework.
My plan for this blog is to write about travel-related themes, to make money from advertising on the blog (this is its entire purpose really) and initially to try to pick up visitors by targeting "long tail" key phrases in Google.
I've noticed that my most popular posts on my blogs so far are often ones targeting key phrases that only get as little as 7000 global searches monthly. For these key phrases I can easily get onto the first or second results page in Google and pick up 100 hits a month. So these are the phrases I'll use in my titles; also I'll be looking for key phrases with high Cost Per Click (CPC).

The best kind of improvements are the ones that enhance your day-to-day life, and that's especially true for home upgrades. But unfortunately, the budget of everyday life – like weekly groceries and monthly bills – tends to squeeze every penny out of that plan. If you've been waiting for just a little extra cash to bring your dream home to fruition, your tax refund can be the perfect source. Use this year's check to cash in on fun additions like an outdoor bar or movie theater, or spend wisely by putting the money toward kitchen essentials and storage solutions. With these projects, your hard-earned dollars will start working for you.
Reclaim Your Backyard Space
Nothing is more refreshing after a hard day's work than a nice, cold drink and a quiet place to relax. If you build this cedar-wood Murphy bar, you can make a beautiful and utilitarian watering hole right in your backyard. Pour yourself a cocktail before dinner, and use the same space for barbecue prep. It's the perfect setting for the warmer months, and when the night draws to an end, cleanup is easy and your backyard space is open again, ready for the next day's activities.
Rachel Pereira
Build a Piece That Blends Comfort With Practicality
There's something so warm and inviting about a soft couch and a tufted ottoman coffee table to match. Not only is the addition stylish, but it's also totally practical: Add a tray to hold eye-catching accessories, or simply use it as a place to rest your feet.
Sarah Dorsey
Create Your Own Summer Screenings
You won't need to wait for public screenings of your favorite movies this summer once you've built this backyard movie screen. Instead of dealing with the crowds, you can have professional-level movie nights for you and your crew where everyone has the perfect view under the stars.
Matthew Ashman
Put Together the Backyard Activity That Everyone Loves
If outdoor movies aren't your thing, a fire pit will still make your backyard the ultimate hangout space — and you can use it throughout the year. It may seem like a daunting project, but with just a two-hour time estimate, you can finish this before sundown. Add ingredients for s'mores once the building is through, and this DIY project will prove its worth on the first night.
Carrie Waller
Make Unique Marbled Wall Art That's Easy Enough for Kids
Art is always a prospect that just seems expensive. But you don't have to blow your entire refund on a framed masterpiece. Create the look of a pricey marbled design with food coloring, and you'll be left with a work of art that looks good in any room of the house. Furthermore, this project is ideal for a Saturday afternoon project: the kids will love it, and you probably have most of the items already stored away.
Bethany DeVore
Update Your Tools for Faster, Easier Cooking
At it's best, a terrible kitchen knife will cost you an extra half-hour per meal, and at it's worst, it could cost you a finger. Invest your refund in replacing your dulled collection with new essential knives, and tackle the daily task of cooking with ease.
Jennifer Farley
Add Decor That Dazzles
If you've been waiting to fill a wall in your home with a bold statement piece, but you didn't have the extra cash to make a bold expense, now is the time to make your move. This DIY sunburst mirror project requires only a few supplies and six easy steps. You'll soon have a glittering wall piece to hang in that blank space, and the satisfaction that you finally made it happen.
Brynne Delerson
Install a Subtle, High-End Finish
If you've been waiting for that extra cash flow to ramp up the look and feel of your home, why not go all in? Give your home a customized high-end aesthetic by creating and installing your own custom wainscoting. It may be a detailed project, but it's one that will last for years to come.
Jennifer Bridgman
Customize Your Sleeping Space
When pillows aren't cutting it for a comfortable back rest, you might wish that you had some built-in padding for added comfort. Put your refund to good use and build a padded headboard that will make your evenings cozier and give your sleeping space some added character.
Bethany DeVore
Repurpose a Vintage Find
If you're no expert at uncovering free and discarded items, but you love the throwback look, now's the time to go thrift shopping for finds you can repurpose into your favorite new piece of furniture. Bring vintage cool into your home by transforming an old door into a beautiful entry table. It won't squander all of your refund, and it will make a strong first impression whenever guests stop by.
Mary & Tim Vidra
Create Storage Space With Style
How many times have you vowed to fix your bathroom storage issue after your toothbrush falls off a crowded shelf? With your recently buffered budget, now's the perfect time to convert an old dresser to a bath vanity. It'll give you more places to stash your stuff while completely transforming your bathroom with its sleek, modern style. Now that's putting your money where your mouth is.
