Good morning!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones today!
Today's card was made using The Craft's Meow Little Angels stamp set - one of my favorite TCM stamp sets. (It may be sold out, so the link may not work, sorry!)
I stamped one of these cuties on watercolor paper and used my Distress markers to watercolor her.
I hope you have a very blessed holiday!

NetEnt will expand their footprint into further regulated markets in Europe, this time by entering the Danish iGaming scene for the first time.
The premium live casino provider has scooped a deal with one of the most admired global operator, Mr Green, which will help NetEnt launch their live offerings in the country.
Mr Green has launched the full NetEnt Live portfolio to Danish customers, including Live Roulette, standard Blackjack and Common Draw Blackjack under the terms of the deal.
This is the first time ever that NetEnt's Live Casino products have been made available in Denmark. The star of the show will definitely be Live Beyond Live suite of games. This selection of products will be provided to Mr Green in a custom-tailored, multi-table form for a true bespoke enjoyment.
"Live Beyond Live has given us the opportunity to provide our customers with a unique live casino experience that is a cut above the rest."
"We have seen great traction in the markets where Live Beyond Live is being offered and it's a natural step to extend this to the Danish market. This will complement further our already strong proposition in this region, consolidating further our presence, almost a year after the MrGreen.dk launch in December 2017." Antoine Bonello, COO for Mr Green Ltd., commented the deal.
Entering Denmark is just another victory in a row for NetEnt Live in 2018.
The company has recently launched an industry-first betting widget that allows players to place sports bets and play live casino simultaneously. The widget has since been endorsed by several notable operators including William Hill.
NetEnt also made a few milestone deals including the one with Penn Online and SvenskaSpel that allowed them to enter markets in Pennsylvania and Sweden respectively.
At ICE 2018, NetEnt unveiled its revolutionary new product, Exclusive Virtual Casino (EVC) where operators can offer a unique gaming experience with tailor-made and branded virtual multi-table casino. Mr Green and Unibet have already launched their EVCs and more will follow soon.
"We are proud to have launched our games in the Danish market and Mr Green is the perfect partner to do it with. Mr Green has a strong presence in Denmark and I'm certain that their players will enjoy our games and the features they bring," said Henrik Fagerlund, MD NetEnt Malta Ltd.

There are a number of great blog posts and articles about the best Atom packages for web development. So if you're just starting out and you've decided to use Atom as your editor, it can be tempting to look at what packages people are recommending so you can install them yourself. But if Atom is your first editor beyond using something like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on macOS, I think some of Atom's built-in functionality can get you really far when you're just starting out. I recently started a front-end development course to get back into programming and I've personally found Atom's built-in functionality to be super helpful for the smaller projects that you tend to work on at first and I think it might be valuable to call out some of this functionality so you can get a feel for what Atom can do out of the box.
Feel free to follow along in the Atom Flight Manual, Atom's official documentation 📰 I'll also link to the specific section that corresponds to each bit of functionality.
When I refer to "built-in" functionality of Atom, I'm referring to what Atom can do when you first install it. You can extend what Atom can do by installing community packages, but we're going to cover some of the many useful things that Atom can do by default.
Keyboard shortcuts are key sequences or combinations that perform some function. You're probably most familiar with copy and paste which is Cmd+C/Cmd+V on macOS and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V on Windows and Linux. Atom comes with a number of useful keyboard shortcuts, many of them mentioned throughout the Flight Manual.
The great thing about keyboard shortcuts is that they help you work much faster than pointing and clicking or using menus. Maybe not at first, but over time as you use them more and more they'll become second nature to you.
For my course, I found a number of the built-in shortcuts super helpful, just a couple of examples are:
border- properties separately; with Cmd+Shift+D, I could quickly make a copy of a line and then make whatever small edit was necessary.
There are a ton more keyboard shortcuts for moving around and editing text in the references below. Note that I'm on macOS so will show macOS-specific shortcuts, but the Flight Manual will show you the keyboard shortcut for your platform.
Code folding lets you hide (or fold) chunks of your program so you can get a higher level view of your code. An example where I found this useful was when looking at JavaScript and a particular function was getting a bit long. If I wanted to get a bit of an overview of what was going on in the function, I can fold different blocks in the function to make scanning it a bit more manageable:
Splitting panes might literally be one of the most helpful built-in functions that I've used. In Atom, you can split your view so that you have multiple files open at once. It's something that you may not be used to if you used only basic editors before, but I think you'll find it super useful.
Since I'm in a frontend development course, we're working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all the time. And right away I noticed that I was pretty much automatically using split panes since the different files are so tied together.
For example, if I was working on some JavaScript code that was manipulating the DOM or hooking into classes or IDs, I would have the JavaScript side-by-side with the HTML or one on top of the other with a vertical split:
So with this vertical split, it's easy to see what ID I want to select from the HTML in the JavaScript, and I can just copy it over into the
.querySelector() call.
The key sequence for split panes can take getting used to, but to break it down:
See the Flight Manual definition of a key sequence for more details.
I also found it helpful sometimes to split the same file as a debugging tool. So if I was trying to figure out why a particular function wasn't doing what I thought it should do, it was helpful to have a vertical split where the function implementation was on top and the code that invoked the function was below.
Find and replace is probably something you're familiar with but I'll mention it anyways since I definitely found it useful. The best example is when I changed a class name in an HTML file, which I had to followup with the same rename in the CSS and JavaScript. With Atom, you can do a typical find and replace but you can also do it across all files in your project which comes in useful here.
For example, for this game project I wanted to change "wins" to "points" and with project find and replace, it was super easy. Cmd+Shift+F brings up the project find and replace box:
Then after clicking
Find All, you have a chance to scan the results before doing the replace to make sure the changes make sense. And as you can see in the GIF and there are even extra controls that lets you expand the number of context lines before and after a result in case you need to see more of the code before you're confident in doing the replace.
Find and replace in a project is also helpful just using the "find" part because the search results give you an easy way to scan through your files to look at how a function or variable is used across a project.
Though I don't use them too often, I found multiple cursors pretty handy when I wanted to make a similar change across multiple lines in the code that I could currently see on my screen. Hold down Cmd and then click to place another cursor.
A simple example could be if you accidentally used
let instead of
const for a handful of variable declarations; with multiple cursors, you basically only have to make the change once.
A more interesting use of multiple cursors goes along with the keyboard shortcut for selecting the next word that's the same as the currently selected word (Cmd+D in macOS). With this shortcut you get multiple cursors for your selections so you can rename things at the same time:
So in this example, I could have used find and replace, there are often multiple ways to do the same thing. But I found the multiple cursors method easier when making a change within a single file.
My course requires you to use Git for your projects and while I'm pretty comfortable with the basics from the command line, I like being able to stay in Atom and use the GitHub package. You can toggle the Git tab of the GitHub package with Ctrl+Shift+9.
Some things I found super useful:
git add . but selectively staging files led to more specific (and better I think) commits.
git diff on the command line. This made it a lot easier for me to clean something up before committing and to decide what files to commit during those times where I probably should have committed earlier.
resetState to
reset but I also fixed a bug, all in the same file. If I want to revert the rename, I would also revert the bug fix if I staged and committed the whole file. Using the GitHub package, I can super easily selectively stage and commit just the bug fix which is at the bottom of the diff:
As a beginner, some might find it useful to learn Git concepts by using Git from the command line first and then use a Git client next. You never know what Git client you'll use in the future and Git clients can sometimes provide a really useful UI for Git at the expense of not really translating to another tool. But I find the GitHub package super intuitive and a tool that enhances my use of Git functionality rather than feeling like something that's hiding Git from me. At the same time, I'm not brand new to Git so your mileage may vary 🚗
Snippets let you type some short string of text that will then expand to some (usually) larger string of text. For my course, I haven't used snippets much because for me, it's useful to type things out at first to become more familiar with syntax and function names for example. But I can definitely see over time how snippets could be another timesaver like keyboard shortcuts.
The one exception was the
log JavaScript snippet which I used constantly. It's not a huge thing but if you're logging things all the time, the time savings can add up over time.
And not code-related per se, but I did create custom snippets for Markdown code blocks. I take Markdown notes for this course, and I find them helpful to review periodically. The notes often contain code examples and using code blocks makes them render nicely in Markdown Preview (see next section). So instead of having to type this out for JavaScript code blocks:
I can just type
bljs and start typing in the code block itself after creating a simple snippet.
One more bit of built-in functionality I want to quickly mention that isn't strictly code related is Markdown Preview. Like I noted above, I periodically look at my notes for the course and while Markdown files are pretty readable as is, Markdown Preview adds a bit more readability. Just use Ctrl+Shift+M while in a Markdown file and the preview pane will activate.
Hopefully this walkthrough gives you an idea of what core Atom can do. There are definitely some really neat community packages out there, but if you're just learning to program, I'd encourage you to play with some of this built-in functionality to start. And there's a lot more useful built-in functionality than what we covered here, so you can scan through the Flight Manual to see what else you might find helpful. As you practice more and more, I think you'll find Atom to be a super useful tool where you can pick and choose the functionality that improves your personal workflow while learning and writing code.

Fall in Love Adoption Special
Halloween pet safety tips 2018
Kisser and IntiGaia's Story
My previously adopted dog died in October. Then one day in April, at a stoplight a block from my house, listening to Public Radio, they mentioned the adoption day. Just a peek, enough to bring back the real memory of all of the dogs I had as companions, barking and sniffing their way through all of my hard and joyful times. Instead of going home, I turned down the hill, and said, I need to see and touch them just a minute. The HSU doors opened.
Raven's Story
Raven is doing so well here with us. We just love her! She is the biggest cuddler! She loves to play in the water and fetch her ball and sticks. I have lots of other pictures of her on my Facebook page. Not sure how to send a link yet. She lives to go to tanner dog park and play with all the other dogs. It's an off leash park that she loves to go to. I'm so glad we got to adopt her.
Happy Adopt a Dog Month!
Right now, there are 40 homeless dogs at the Humane Society of Utah (HSU) with so much love to give. And every day more come through our doors in need of a new loving home.
Thanks everyone, you did it!
We are honored by your trust and support. Thank you so very much for helping us reach our Matching Gift Challenge goal!
And a HUGE thanks to Utah's Wasatch Front Subaru Retailers for making this lifesaving campaign possible.
Goldie's Story
We lost our dog a couple months before we visited the Humane Society. She was old and it was her time. Well, our other dog was rather lonely because since a pup he's always had another dog around. So we came out to the Humane Society. We looked at a couple dogs but never found one we liked. We finally found one that one of the staff members was taking care of at her house because of medical things the dog had. After emailing her and setting up a meet and greet. We loved her. The dog's name is Goldie! Super happy dog and we even brought our dog to meet her.

How to create and keep an art journal. By aisling d'art ©2006 Artist's journals are illustrated diaries and journals on any theme.
An art journal can be a record of your daily thoughts, a travel journal, an exercise or diet diary, a dream journal, a place where you jot down your goals or to-do lists, or... well, almost any record that you'd like to keep in a book or notebook. They become "art journals" when you add any kind of illustration or embellishment to the pages. These pages share ideas and tips for creating and keeping your own illustrated journal.

Art as therapy is the premise and, evidently, judging by the sheer number of blogs and folks who are doing it, it must be working!. The art, itself, may be the therapy, using the raw emotion to influence their design in the art. But, more often, some journaling is added to the piece.
It can be hidden, as in the piece below, if it is posted and the artists wishes the journaling to remain private. Some of us prefer digital art journaling. I am continuously updating this listing. Technique Tutorials, Inspiration and Prompts ★ Art journaling is a fantastic hobby for people who enjoy being artistic, and when you finish a journal it is so satisfying to look through the beautiful and varied pages you've created.

I've become a Certified Zentangle Teacher, or CZT, since I used to hang around here in WC and I just wanted to post this somewhere where those who asked the question as to what zentangle® is would see the answer.

Tangles are basically done on 3.5" X 3.5" tiles with a micron pen, no artistic talent needed. And here is a zentangle® inspired piece of artwork, or as it's called in the tangling world, a ZIA, that I began by dropping watercolors onto Strathmore bristol paper.

He had lived and slept with his work ever since his beginnings as a poor art student, flitting from one rented attic to the next, carrying nothing but his canvases with him. But in his 70th year a bitter separation dispute with his wife meant that by late summer 1939 everything on his studio walls had been taken down, crated and stored in bank cellars for lawyers to fight over.

Hey guys I just adore Nutmeg and created this image of friends out on the porch in the winter having coffee with their faithful companions. Nutmeg decor imparts a vintage romance feeling to every scene and I get excited when there is a new release.

| -1.2°C Dublin
IN Killarney last week Tom Carr was reminded of an age-old, essential truth about the relationship between Dublin and Kerry.
He had travelled south to play in a golf fundraiser for Kerry football, to help ease the financial burden of a seventh All-Ireland final appearance in eight years. Old comrades and rivals came face to face again, as they did occasionally through the years, a legacy of the deep bonds that were formed and the friendships that endured.
As ever they competed ferociously on the fairways and swapped banter and stories between shots. At one point his non-football companion asked how Kerry could be so consistently strong while the Dubs often languished and, as chance would have it, Carr looked across and saw two smiling Kerrymen alighting onto an adjacent tee-box. Mikey and Darragh. Even on a golf course they walked with a casual swagger that seemed only semi-conscious. Just watching alone was enough to understand.
"How do Kerry do it? I said 'well just look back there'. Mikey Sheehy and Darragh ó Sé were on the tee-box. Like, you go to Armagh and there's only 30 All-Ireland medals in the entire county. These two guys had 14 between them. But the thing is it's no big deal in Kerry. It doesn't make you special or unique. Having a few All-Ireland medals is no reason to walk around with a big head."
There is a celebrated photo of the day Dublin came within seconds of clipping Kerry's wings in the 2001 All-Ireland quarter-final in Thurles. Maurice Fitzgerald lines up the sideline ball that would haul Kerry back from the brink while Carr lurks a few paces behind him, fearing the worst, cursing earlier chances his team had missed, sensing the hope of a famous scalp was ebbing away. Earlier the usually unflappable Carr had lost his cool with the referee, Mick Curley, after a dubious free had gone Kerry's way.
In a way it summed up the fortunes of two teams that had parted at the fork in the road that appeared at the end of the glorious 70s. Kerry with their legendary calmness and sang-froid and the bit of extra class they could count on that, more often than not, would settle the issue in their favour. And Dublin with the turbulence that would sweep through the capital city each summer, the excuses and grim post-mortems following each championship dismissal, the pressure cranking up as 1995 and Jayomania faded ever further into the distance.
History always favours Kerry and never more than when Dublin provide the opposition. It has become fashionable in recent years to heap scorn on the old rivalry and to deny any hint of relevance to the modern-day players. But that is to miss the point about tradition and how it can nourish future generations, even in a sub-conscious fashion. Those who forget about history etc . . . How enriching it has been in Kerry and the crushing burden it has placed on the shoulders of generations of Dublin players.
"The thing about Kerry," Carr says, "is that they don't have inhibitions or inferiority complexes about anybody. Not Dublin or any team. They inherently believe they can overcome any team. Even if they get a hammering off Tyrone or Armagh they'll come out the next day and expect to beat them. They have no sticking point. No mental block. They won't mind the hype about Dublin. In fact they'll relish it. For Kerry's there's more romance about winning an All-Ireland against Dublin."
Wade through the acreage of newsprint and broadcasts in the build-up to today's final and the truth of Carr's assertion is resoundingly borne out. In Dublin, by and large, the natural instinct is to play things down while Kerry treat it like an annual festival to be savoured, a diversion they'd feel empty without, and all the better for the Dubs filling the role of gritty underdog rather than Tyrone or their Cork neighbours who, for all their progress, still feel like the business of early summer.
In Dublin, partaking in hype or seeming to enjoy the build-up is akin to an admission that the game had gone to a player's head. The clamour for under-statement has seemed strained, if not downright false. Asked about the golden years one celebrated Dub was instantly dismissive: "It has absolutely no relevance to this Dublin team," he said. "Most of these lads weren't even born when Dublin and Kerry were playing in the 70s. It means nothing to them."
This seemed to be the default mode. History was bunkum. Dublin players could stroll freely around the city unrecognised, blissfully free of historical baggage. Pat Gilroy used every available opportunity to talk Kerry up to an exaggerated degree, an old tactic that even Kerry abandoned years ago with Micko and Páidí. Collie Moran, a former Dublin defender, spoke of "grounded hype," an oxymoron that neatly summed up the energy it was taking to manoeuvre their heads into the place they wanted.
Kerry don't waste mental energy on such concerns. A few weeks before the 2005 All-Ireland final Sheehy penned a column for The Kerryman in which he hailed the genius of Colm Cooper. At the time Cooper had just one All-Ireland to his name yet Sheehy was still compelled to describe him as the "best corner-forward the game had seen." Such outlandish praise didn't cause a stir within the county. The Gooch didn't buckle under the sheer weight of it. He just got on with the business of destroying opposing defenders.
Fast forward six years and now Cooper, seeking his fifth All-Ireland, is happy to talk today's game up as a "glamour tie." Darragh ó Sé didn't feel the need or inclination for cuteness when he tipped Kerry to win "by five or six points" in his newspaper column. Aidan O'Mahony, Kerry centre-back, considered the nature of the opposition and all the stories and history that came with them and felt moved enough to say: "There's so much hype about it that it's a players dream to play in it."
And whatever about Kerry's perceived weaknesses -- an entire defence on the cusp of receiving their pension slips and the irreplaceability of Darragh -- the sense of entitlement that history bequeaths them and the almost fetching streak of arrogance that runs through them are handy weapons to be taking into battle. The suspicion is that a good or even average Kerry team will nearly always beat a good Dublin team, but never the other way around.
Overseeing this innate sense of entitlement is the towering figure of Jack O'Connor who stands, arguably, alongside Brian Cody as the most intense and driven manager the GAA has seen. Before the sides met in the 2007 All-Ireland semi-final, when Pat O'Shea was manager, O'Connor mused on what it would mean for Kerry to reach a fourth successive final. "To beat the Dubs in the intimidating atmosphere of Croke Park would be the ultimate for a Kerry team with little left to prove," he wrote.
Maybe it's the romantic in O'Connor, or simply that he is of an age when such things matter more, but the prospect of winning an All-Ireland by beating Dublin would undoubtedly be the sweetest, maybe even ushering him towards a second contented retirement, and it would be foolish to underestimate his ability to transmit that desire to players too young to bear first-hand memories of the golden years.
In Keys to the Kingdom O'Connor writes about his third game as Kerry manager, a league tie against Dublin at Parnell Park in 2004. He recounts the details of a towering Seamus Moynihan performance and a "famous win" against opponents they hadn't beaten away in the league for 18 years. "We celebrated like it was an All-Ireland final," O'Connor writes. "I remember the chairman grabbing me and swinging me around. There was some amount of steam bursting out of the valves that evening."
What other game, against what other county, could O'Connor have presided over such a victory and made such a huge deal about it? Not Tyrone or Armagh and not Cork. Not even Down with their remarkable history against Kerry in Croke Park. For all the rarity of their recent championship meetings and Kerry's vastly superior record against them, Dublin remain the touchstone, the best measure of themselves as footballers. Silencing the Hill on All-Ireland final day? A new generation of Kerry footballers waiting to discover that it simply doesn't get any better.
And that is Dublin's burden to overcome. Tough but not impossible. "There's a confidence issue there," says Carr. "We don't trust them really. Until they actually go out and do it. Until they compete in an All-Ireland and win one. Yes of course they can do it but it's going to take an almighty effort on the day."
Carr is right. You can believe Dublin will win the All-Ireland, and that it would be good for the GAA if they did, but would you want to put money on it? How could you have that faith? How could you so casually disregard the history?

Looking for easy Halloween decor and craft ideas? These friendly little ghosts are cute and so easy a toddler can make them! Best of all, these quick Halloween crafts can be made from supplies you probably already have in your home! They're a perfect Halloween craft for preschoolers and even toddlers and school age kids can enjoy them as well!
This craft is definitely a throwback to when I was a kid. My aunt especially was the master of finding new craft ideas to entertain 5 young girls, I was the oldest of the 5 girl cousins. Even better if it didn't require a trip to the store first. Out of that came these cute kleenex ghosts. We'd hang them all over. Since we live in Southern California where it rarely rains we could even hang them outside!
This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase after clicking one of my links I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Materials needed:
- 1 box of kleenex or other tissues
- 1 bag of cotton balls or white craft pom-poms
- Some sort of string to use as a tie. You can use twine, string, yarn, or embroidery thread which is what I used.
- Markers for decorating. You will need markers as crayons or pencils will shred the kleenex. Markers with a thinner point may be slightly easier, but I'd use whatever you already have at home.
Find other fun Halloween crafts in 13 Scary Easy Halloween Crafts for Kids!
Putting your kleenex ghosts together:
- First, you'll want to lay out 1-2 Kleenex. One is generally plenty for these ghosts. Place a cotton ball in the center, you may need to use two if your cotton balls are very small.
- Wrap the Kleenex around the cotton ball to create a head for your ghost.
- Tie your embroidery thread just below the cotton ball to create a neck. Don't have embroidery thread? You can use any type of string. Yarn, twine, even dental floss could work in a pinch! Make the string extra long so that you have enough left over to create a loop to hang your ghost. Try to center the thread so that you have an even amount left over on each side.
- Take your leftover ends of the thread and tie them into a knot to create a loop so your ghost now has a hanger.
- Use your markers to draw a fun, scary, happy, any type of face onto your ghost. This is what will really bring your little guy to life! You can even glue on googly eyes, sequins, or other fun things. Just make sure to not use anything too heavy as these little guys are lightweight.
- Display them anywhere you choose! I hung mine on a little Halloween tree. You could also attach them to a long string and hang them in a window. If you live somewhere where it's not going to rain or get too wet overnight you could even hang them outside in a tree just before Halloween!
How your kids can help!
Kids of any age can help with the decorating. Give them some markers, googly eyes, anything they might want to put on their ghosts! The hardest part is definitely tying the thread or string to create the neck and the hanger. But, even your toddlers could help lay out the kleenex and add the cotton ball and you can just do a quick tie before setting them free to decorate. These little guys will definitely liven up your house as part of your Halloween decor this year!

The Legend of Korra featured a professional sports bending league where players would meet in an arena and battle 3-on-3 using their elemental powers against each other. It's taken this long for something from the Avatar-verse to be turned into a tabletop game….why not start with the most obvious choice? Soon you too will be able to participate in Pro Bending, whether you can manipulate water with your arms or not.
To play, participants split into two teams: the Fire Ferrets (Korra's own team) and the White Hill Wolfbats (the rivals they fought against in Season One). Gameplay relies on deck building; bending cards are used to launch elemental tokens across the board in an effort to knock the other players out of the arena. First team to eliminate all three rivals wins the match.
Pro Bending Arena is the first of several tabletop games on the way based in the Avatar/LoK world; IDW and Nickelodeon have entered an agreement to produce multiple products. It's coming to specialty shops this fall for $50 guaranteed, but there will also be a Kickstarter campaign at some point with extra items you won't find in the retail package.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities. Norman Vincent Peale
I've really enjoyed my weekend, reading and generally recharging, did me the world of good it has. Yesterday I had to take my car in for a new exhaust so Bonnie picked me up and we went for breakfast at Sainsbury's, then had a mooch round the pound shop before I came back and walked Alfie.
I spent the afternoon baking, made the chocolate muffins from the sweet book and made rock cakes without the sultanas, added some lemon, trying to recreate a memory for Bonnie and apparently when she picked me up to collect my car, they weren't far off! Just needed lemon icing sugar on the top.
Luckily I can resist cake, even just tasting bits left me feeling a bit sick, so I had cucumber sandwiches for my tea and a bit of cheese.
I've still not tracked, part of me wants to do No Count today because of its simplicity, but I'm remembering the tin of stewing steak in the kitchen which I fancy so I'll probably stick with Smart Points, maybe have eggs on crumpets for breakfast, that'll help me resist the cake this morning at the meeting, then for dinner I can have the stewing steak with potatoes and peas, mmm, somewhere in this house there's a pack of onions I'm sure but I can't find them, I don't remember using them though, I'll need to stop and get an onion then.
Well I'm managing with the getting active in August, I may have listened to my book a lot yesterday but I still managed 9966 steps, I really should have made that 10k shouldn't I! Hey ho, it's better than it normally would be on a Monday, it's raining out there today, will be a toughie to get Alfie out in the rain, he's a fair weather walker! I shall do my best.
I've got a busy day ahead, 3 meetings and lots of computer work, so I will have to be as active as I'm able, we can only do our best - never forget that. My members are all doing what they can, it's good to see they're all encouraging each other to improve rather than 'win', we're not in competition with each other, we're supporting each other.
Right I'm off, I've actually woke up hungry, so I need a mug of tea and a crumpet, mmm that'll do me. I've not done a proper shop this week, I've got plenty to play at in the freezer, I want to defrost it I think, so I'll be working my way through it, my fridge keeps filling with water and it's doing my head in so if I defrost the whole thing it might rectify the problem, we can but hope.
Today I WILL track, no more ignoring it, it's all being wrote down. I hope you're already tracking, and I hope not tracking hasn't messed up my chances at the scales on Friday.
Have a great day, see that grey sky as silver!

It was noted that interest in Finnish Saunas and the associated health benefits is at an all-time high--partly due to recent superb sauna medical studies from Finland.
Finnleo President and NASS Chairman, Keith Raisanen, commented, "Since 1984, Finnleo has firmly believed sauna is an integral part of a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle. Now, the outstanding sauna medical studies from Finland, particularly from Dr. Jari Laukkanen, proves how important traditional Finnish sauna is for total health & wellness. From relaxation & post-workout recovery to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's and dementia, the benefits of sauna are a perfect fit for to meet the needs of wellness goals of many North Americans. Finnish sauna is the third pillar of a wellness lifestyle: diet, exercise and sauna."

UL 489 And UL 1077 Miniature Circuit Breakers
The Safest Circuit Breaker in The Industry!
Our UL 489 branch circuit breakers and UL 1077 supplementary protectors offer a wide range of pole sizes, amperage ranges, and trip curves – providing superior performance and flexible application environments.
c3controls' line of Series 1100 UL 489 & UL 1077 Miniature Circuit Breakers provide reliable short circuit and overload protection for all your branch and downstream device circuit protection.
When is a circuit breaker not a circuit breaker? When it's a UL 1077 Supplementary Protector. Why? Read this short white paper "UL 489 or UL 1077 in Control Panels and Equipment – A Quick Guide" to understand the differences and when to apply one or the other.
Trip Curves for circuit protection devices is one of those subjects that some people steer clear of because they find it somewhat intimidating. One of the best ways to learn something, is to teach it to others. This paper on Understanding Trip Curves is a simplified concept taking out most of the scary math, and focusing on the key information you need to know to understand why trip curves are important, how to read them, and hold an intelligent conversation.
How do you prevent smoke in an industrial control system? Part of that answer is a thorough understanding of how to select and apply circuit breakers. To do that, you need to understand the concept of Short Circuit Current Ratings, or SCCR. This short white paper from c3controls can help you get started down the path of Understanding SCCR.
Our new line of Series 1100 Miniature Circuit Breakers are available in UL 489 and UL 1077 and include both thermal and magnetic trip elements for overload and short circuit protection. They are available in one, one + neutral, two, three, and three + neutral configurations with current ratings from 0.5A to 63A. UL 489 Branch Circuit Breakers provide branch circuit protection and fully meet UL 489 circuit breaker standards. UL 1077 Supplementary Protectors provide downstream device protection and fully meet UL 1077 supplementary protector standards.
Watch this video to learn more about the features and benefits of our new line of UL 489 and UL 1077 Miniature Circuit Breakers.
When to use a UL 1077 Supplementary Protector or a UL 489 Branch Circuit Breaker is a common question with machine builders. The general rule is that a UL 489 circuit breaker can protect multiple devices at one time whereas a UL 1077 supplementary protector protects one device. Watch this video to understand the differences between each.
What is a trip curve? Simply put, a trip curve is a graphical representation of the expected behavior of a circuit protection device. Choosing the correct trip curve for your application provides reliable circuit protection, while limiting nuisance or false trips. Circuit protection devices come in many forms, including fuses, miniature circuit breakers, molded case circuit breakers, supplementary protectors, motor protection circuit breakers, overload relays, electronic fuses and air circuit breakers.
Watch this video to understand the concept of trip curves and how to read and understand them.
What is SCCR and why is it important? SCCR stands for Short-Circuit Current Rating. It is the maximum short-circuit current an electrical component can safely withstand without causing a shock or fire hazard. Exceeding the SCCR may cause catastrophic and violent equipment and component failure.
Watch this video to learn why SCCR is important and how to find the calculations needed.

ATLANTA — A driver for Atlanta based UPS has gone 55-years without an accident, setting records while sharing tips on good driving.
There have been close calls for Tom Camp. In fact, his amazing "accident free" run nearly came to an end earlier this year when he avoided the distracted driver who missed a stop sign.
"She hit her brakes and honest to God, you could have put a dollar bill between her vehicle and mine," says Camp.
11Alive's Commuter Dude spoke to Camp by Facetime as the 77-year-old prepared for another day on the streets of suburban Detroit.
It was 1962 when Camp joined Atlanta based UPS. More than 55 years have passed without an accident in his big brown truck or his personal car.
Instead, he has plenty of tips for other drivers.
"Make sure you leave space in front of you," says Camp. "Don't be changing lanes constantly. Try to avoid backing as much as possible. You've got to keep your eyes moving all the time."
In his 55-plus years with UPS, he's driven more than a million miles, roughly the same as traveling to the moon and back twice, or circling the earth at the equator four times.
He's done most of that driving in the slow lane.
"I think most of the accidents on the expressways happen because people are constantly trying to gain one car length, and they'll go over three lanes," says Camp. "I try to do the speed limit. The most I'll go over is 5 miles-per-hour."
Tom Camp says the biggest change he's seen over the years is the number of distracted drivers on the road.
At the age of 77, he has no plans to retire from UPS any time soon.

Summer is drawing to a close, and class will be back in session soon. Landlords near universities all over the country are preparing to open up their properties for new and returning students, but they need to make sure they have the right landlord protection insurance.
A rich market for student housing
Over 90 per cent of students in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are living at home or in rental properties.
Private housing options are in demand near Australia's universities, as students largely prefer avoiding on-campus housing options. According to JLL's Australian Student Accommodation Market Update 2015, over 90 per cent of students in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are living at home or in rental properties. Given the number of students choosing not to live in university-provided housing options, renting to students can be a great way for landlords to maximise their revenue while maintaining the flexibility of short-term lease periods.
Leasing academic accommodations can help landlords make the most financially, often being able to collect from multiple tenants on a single piece of property. Combined with the housing trend for Australian universities, this makes renting to students an attractive proposition.
Increased risks and landlord protection insurance
While it is important for property owners to have the right landlord protection insurance when they rent out rooms, those renting to students must ensure they are suitably covered. Student housing is inherently different from traditional rental arrangements, especially when rooms in a single dwelling are rented to unconnected tenants.
The insurance a landlord will require is largely tied to the circumstances of an individual property. Is the entire property rented to a group of friends? Is each room leased separately? These and other factors will determine what specific coverage needs a landlord will require. With the amount of complexity involved, student housing leasers can benefit greatly from consultation with an insurance broker.
Another important factor to consider in renting to students is age. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, people age 15-24 have the highest offender rate of all age groups with 5,057 per 100,000 persons for 15-19 year olds and 4,791 per 100,000 persons for 20-24 year olds between 2013 and 2014. This should be a factor when considering insurance protection for malicious damage caused by tenants, one of the top claims for student housing, according to Terri Scheer Insurance.
Landlords renting to students can contact a broker at MGA Insurance today to find the coverage they need.

Why Watch DiVinci Code Movie
Why should someone watch the DiVinci code movie? This movie does not reveal the truth about Jesus Christ? John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life" amen.

There is a "church" in my hometown that is showing that movie. I don't know the purpose. My concern is if I had time to read a lenghty book, I would use it on Gods Word. I have seen the previews on tv and it seems to be another demon movie.
on 1/15/08
PT 2: Though some of the movie gave actual facts of Christianity like Constitne , it is still fiction of the Jesus story, it just opened my mind better about the Christian history past & to look for myself what is written & to test the faith like the bible says.
on 6/1/06
I saw the movie this past weekend & nothing has changed my faith. I know the stories are not real, however when they spoke of Constitine becoming a Christian on his death bed & him still dabling between the Christianity & Pagans. I did research on google & that part is true, the storyline is fiction ,but some of the history of Christianity is true.
on 6/1/06
The book and the movie are fiction accounts that add just a little truth that can cause many people to ask questions. Here is a group http://www.probe.org/
that has done a good job in answering the many questions that have been raised. If a fictional work bugs you then I challenge you to seek the answers to the questions you have, then you might help others to seek the truth. You don't have to condem or defend, just seek the truth ... it will set you free!
on 5/22/06
For anyone interested, the movie was panned at Cannes yesterday.
on 5/17/06
even a man with strong faith can give in to temptaion. we are all sinners and we all can sin. just because you know Jesus does not mean you try and fight satan with out him. instead of seeing the movie spend money on books that break the code and expose the false claims of the movie. GOD bless
on 5/16/06
Do you see the problem?
The struggle between good and evil comes down to a struggle for the faith of men.
If Satan can use this garbage to make you doubt and fall away he's won.
The framing of the davinci code has enough fact intermingled with it to confuse anyone who doesn't have a solid foundation.
This is a direct attack upon Jesus, moreover it's disturbing.
on 5/16/06
Bill, I disagree with a few things. Many of strong faith have the greatest problem with the book/movie I know I am grieved to see my Lord misrepresented. I also believe the enemy is out to destroy, and regardless of authors "intent" it is not merely a ficticious adventure story designed to entertain. We are in a spiritual battle. Choose this day whom you will serve
on 5/15/06
The DiVinci code is clearly a fictitious adventure story designed to entertain, not to educate. Those of strong faith should and do understand that. Those who doth protesteth too much about the lies and misleading statements only display their own paranoia and the fragility of their own faith.
on 5/15/06
I think that christians may watch the Da Vinci code when it comes out on TV a year or two from now, but my opinion is they not spend even a dollar making someone who defames Jesus, wealthy.
on 5/15/06
Please don't waste your precious time reading or viewing the DiVinci code. Life has so many things to offer than spending time viewing a movie that is deceitfull & untrue.
I am so tired of Hollywood making terrible movies. Garbage & lies.
on 5/8/06
Those of us who have not died to the world,will find ourselves following the world. And certainly the world is going crazy(50 million copies of the books sold) over the Da Vinci code,
on 5/7/06
I don't think anyone who is new or weak in the faith should watch this movie, thinking it will give them new insights into the christian faith. The book is fiction, which means it is the figment of someone's imagination, with little tidbits of familiar thoughts interspersed. It would be easy enough for someone who doesn't have a firm understanding of Christ's finished work on the cross to become confused with this material.
on 5/7/06
Why should anyone watch any movie? They are full of lies, sex and all sorts of perversions. A Christian shouldn't watch movies at all. To go to a movie and give them your money is supporting there ways. Would you give money to a child molester for molesting your child? Why support the people that are molisting the minds of our children? If you donate money to a false religion, you are taking part and agreeing with what they do.

Outfitting your employees with top-notch company swag is a great way to boost loyalty and build pride in your brand, but not all swag is created equal. One of our favorite unexpected company giveaways is the custom blanket. The perfect pick for picnics, sports games, concerts and snuggling up with a good book at home, custom blankets let your employees show off your brand wherever they go.
As the cold weather rolls around, you're going to want to start thinking about some warm, winter swag—hello, custom sweatshirts and touch screen gloves—for employee appreciation gifts or corporate holiday presents, and custom throw blankets are a good choice for year-round use.
We recommend these fan favorites for all sorts of company milestones, including:
- New hire welcome gifts
- Employee anniversaries
- Retirement gifts
- Employee incentives
- Company holiday gifts
- Weekly wins
Why custom blankets are a good choice
- They're unconventional—When you think about typical corporate swag, you're probably thinking about classic but arguably basic items like promotional T-shirts and pens. Everybody loves a giveaway, but you can bet you'll get even more smiles when you hand out something a little less expected, like custom throw blankets. You might even find that employees want to share their swag with friends on social media.
- They get lots of use—One of the facets of a well-chosen branded product is its usefulness. If you brand items that are just going to sit in a drawer for years to come, there's a good chance your ROI will be lower and you'll feel like you've wasted company dollars. Instead, pick something that's more likely to get plenty of use. In the cold months, company blankets get used nonstop both at home and away, providing ample branding opportunity.
- They suit your brand—If you're looking for a promotional item that plays into whatever product or service you sell, custom blankets may be a good choice. We often see them employed by businesses that are focused on sports, camping, the outdoors, driving and relaxation. With so many styles to choose from, ranging from soft and cozy travel blankets to hooded blankets, you're sure to find a blanket that's appropriate for your business narrative here.
- They're versatile—Because you can customize many unique blanket styles with your preferred coloring and design, blankets make solid swag for a wide range of applications. Of course, they are a very popular pick for employee gifts, but they can also be used to woo potential clients, partners and investors. In other words, they're ideal internal and external corporate giveaways.
- They're high-quality—Like most promotional gifts, branded blankets come in many different tiers, from economical to premium, to suit your budget and vision. You can make your corporate swag stand out when you invest in some premium custom throws made of heavenly soft material like Sherpa, micro mink and cozy cotton.
- They can be high-tech—If blankets seem like a totally low-tech swag option, you haven't seen the latest and greatest blankets on the market. You'll find blankets with built-in speakers, blankets with included ground stakes (so they don't blow away in the wind) and blankets with handles for convenient, portable use. For these reasons, swag blankets are even a popular choice for tech companies.

Interior Design Guide
Bring out the best in your home
Creating a focal point in a specific room is the basic, essential step in interior design. If you want to make sure that your room is well-decorated and perfectly balanced, you should start by choosing the best spot for your focal point. Of course, different things can act as a one. Essentially, the focal point is the star of the room, the striking statement piece that makes everyone land their eyes on it the moment they enter. It's also the starting point for the rest of your design. With that in mind, don't miss the opportunity to learn more about how to create your own personal focal point and boost the look of your interior.
Find your room's focal point
If you're lucky, your room already has one and you just need to make the most out of it. For example, windows with a gorgeous view, a fireplace, built-in shelves, vaulted ceilings and uniquely angled walls are all existing focal points that you can use. However, don't despair if you don't have any of these features – you can simply create your own. This can be done with accent walls, artwork, backsplashes and statement furniture and accessories.
Accent walls
This is one of the easiest yet very effective ways to create a focal point in any room. Simply pick a wall that you want to be the statement piece of the entire space and get creative with it. The simplest way is to repaint it and use a bold, jewel tones. Of course, you can have as much freedom as you want with it, so let your imagination run wild. Moreover, you can always use self-adhesive wallpaper if you want something more intricate in design but you don't feel confident enough in your painting skills.
Statement furniture and accessories
A great focal point in any room can also be statement furniture and accessories. For instance, an interesting sofa or a coffee table in the living room, or a bed and even a reading nook in the bedroom are fine examples of how to use furniture as a focal point. The furniture pieces themselves don't have to look extraordinary if you have trouble finding such pieces. Still, you can find incredible deals at flea markets. However, using interesting accessories and techniques can make a world of difference. Don't hesitate to spice up your furniture with throws, decorative pillows and reupholstering, and don't shy away from patina application and decoupage.
Textured and interesting carpets
If you want to both add some warmth to your room and create a focal point from scratch go for rugs. Textures, in general, are very important when it comes to creating a warm and cozy feeling. If windows are your focal point get some curtains, while cushions and throws act as a statement furniture décor. Also, decorative round rugs are perfect for rooms that don't have an existing focal point and are relatively small. Not only will a well-placed rug with no strong angles bring balance and comfort to your room, but it will also become the best feature of the space in the most homely manner.
Amazing artwork
Another great way to add to any room is to use statement artwork. This can be a large painting or even a mirror with an intricate frame. Tie the rest of the room together with some accent lighting. You don't have to limit yourself to one large statement art piece though. You can also create a breathtaking gallery wall that will draw everyone's attention.
Once you determine and create your room's focal point, the remaining process of décor and design will be a lot more rewarding, focused and easier. Therefore, don't skip this step when arranging your personal space since it will help you elevate and customize it properly.
