Now that the Terri Schiavo circus has packed up the elephants and headed out of town, we do need to have a serious, public discussion about end of life and beginning of life ethics. Not that there is any real hope of that happening.
The new British Medical Journal (link is a PDF) brings two items of news from across the pond that we here in the colonies might want to think about.
The British Law Lords (equivalent to our Supreme Court) have ruled that British law does not forbid parents from intentionally selecting embryos that are a tissue type match for existing children who require a tissue donation, in other words the creation of so-called "savior siblings." (That's "saviour" in the UK, but I prefer to conserve my "u"s if at all possible.) Actually it's a bit more complicated than that because UK law has established a Human Embryology and Fertilization Authority that actually regulates such practices, however the authority has evidently approved it in the case at issue.
There has been at least one such case in the U.S. already, which received fairly limited attention. This strikes me as odd because the cult of life folks ought to be absolutely appalled. These couples are perfectly capable of reproducing without use of in vitro fertilization. They deliberately create multiple embryos, have them tested for compatibilty with the sick sibling, implant the one that matches and destroy the rest.
Those of us who do not believe that embryos are "human life" or have the moral status of human beings nevertheless have other grounds for being disturbed by this practice, in particular the question of whether the baby so created is truly a wanted child and what it might mean for the child, the family and the rest of us if we sanction bringing children into the world for the purpose of donating their bone marrow to someone else.
The second case is from the Netherlands, where physician assisted suicide and euthanasia are legal under strict conditions. A Dutch physician provided the means for suicide to a man diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, who was in the early stages and far from terminally ill, but who did not want to endure the later stages of the disease and repeatedly asked for help to commit suicide. The committee that oversees assisted suicide ruled that the patient was indeed "suffering unbearably," presumably just from the prospect of advanced dementia, and was competent to choose, therefore the assisted suicide was permissible. Note that if this patient waited until his dementia was more advanced, he would have become technically incompetent to choose, and the option would not have been available to him.
This is also troubling to me, on various grounds, although I support the general right for people to choose the time and manner of their passing, and it is possible that in the same circumstances, I personally might have the same wish as this patient.
What do others think about these cases?

Music Fundraiser for Dave Valentin, Nov. 7th!
Link to buy tickets:
Bill O'Connell, Lincoln Goines, Robby Ameen, Ragan Whiteside, Pulpo, Bob Baldwin, Chieli Minucci, Dave Samuels, Mayra Casales, Paquito D'Rivera and many more!
On March 3, 2012, Latin Jazz iconic musician and Grammy Award Winner, Mr. Dave Valentin -- one of the greatest flutists in the history of jazz, alongside Frank Wess, Hubert Laws, Herbie Mann and Romeo Penque -- suffered a stroke that has limited his ability to perform his beloved instrument. The native New Yorker has been in physical therapy since that tragic day. There is a chance that he may be able to wow his audiences on stage worldwide again, but not before he's the beneficiary of some more critical physical therapy.
In the interim, his medical bills have climbing been through the roof. Dave Valentin has insufficient medical insurance to cover the enormous bills surrounding his stroke.
Never heard of Dave Valentin? Well, here's a taste of the Latin flute wizard, who appeared on BET's Legends of Jazz in our previous decade, with Bill O'Connell on the piano.
With that said, Bob Baldwin, the President of NewUrbanJazz and City Sketches, Inc. is driving a campaign to raise money to cover the health expenses, which were created from this terrible tragedy, including support from all musical friends of Dave Valentin and/or Bob Baldwin.
Through a mutual friend, percussionist Tony Cintron, Baldwin and Valentin met in 1994 in the South Bronx, when both were doing fundraisers for the youth organization Pathways For Youth, located in the Bronx. Proceeds for those fundraisers went to support college scholarships for NYC students.
In 2010, Baldwin plucked Valentin to sit-in at a Jazz for Haiti benefit in Newark, NJ. "Dave's a good friend of mine, and I would do anything to help my musical amigo out, so this is something I'm very proud to spearhead." Jazz For Haiti raised over $60,000.00 for the Red Cross of Northern New Jersey in early 2010.
A band, which will consist of 20-year Valentin sideman, Mr. Bill O'Connell and some of the other flutist's sideman and musical associates, as well as Baldwin himself, will provide the musical backdrop for the evening. It would be great if Dave Grusin (Valentin was one of the GRP stars in the 80s and 90s, having appeared with Grusin in several audio & video projects like the GRP All-Stars Big Band) could also join this event.
100% of the door net proceeds will be donated to Mr. Valentin to cover his climbing medical expenses.
"Music for Dave" - A musical tribute to Mr. Dave Valentin @ the Tarrytown Music Hall
The Tarrytown Music Hall
13 Main Street
Tarrytown, NY 10591
Thursday, November 7, - 7:30 pm
Out-of-towners and those unable to attend are still encouraged to buy a balcony seat ticket to help support the cause!
Dave Valentin (born April 29, 1952, in New York City) learned latin percussion first when he was a teenager, and then switched to flute. Valentin's teacher, the legendary Hubert Laws, suggested that he not double on saxophone because of his attractive sound on the flute. He studied at the Bronx Community College.
In 1977, he made his recording debut with Ricardo Marrero's group and he appeared also on a Noel Pointer album. Discovered by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen, Valentin was the first artist signed to GRP Records, and he has been a popular attraction ever since. Valentin has recorded over 15 albums, combining the influence of pop, R&B and Brazilian music with Latin and contemporary jazz to create a slick and accessible form of crossover jazz.
In 2000, he appeared in the documentary film, "Calle 54," performing with Tito Puente. He toured with El Negro and MioSotis. Since the mid-2000s, Valentin has been signed to Highnote Records, releasing "World On A String" (2005) and "Come Fly With Me" (2006). He has done several collaborations with pianist Bill O'Connell, and was a Grammy Award winner for his Caribbean Jazz Project in the early 2000's with Dave Samuels as well as a Latin Grammy Award nominee in 2006.
In 2012, he suffered a stroke following a performance at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis, IN.
Bob Baldwin is a New York-born and bred artist who has been producing records since the 80's, including his works with George Benson, Grover Washington, Jr., Michael Urbaniak, Will Downing, Pieces of a Dream Marion Meadows. He's recorded with Chuck Loeb, Gerald Albright, Paul Brown, Paul Taylor, Chieli Minucci, Glenn Jones, Noel Pointer, Freddie Jackson, Howard Hewitt, to name a select few, and has performed with Dave Valentin on several occasions over the years.
The pianist has done benefits for Haiti for the American Red Cross ("Jazz For Haiti" with Dave Valentin, Chieli Minucci, Ragan Whiteside) as well as "Westchester Musicians for Haiti".
He's released his 20th CD, simply titled, "Twenty". He's recorded more solo discs than any other Westchester County native. "It's an honor to help my musical buddy Dave Valentin out on this event. He's helped so many others over the years, so it's only fair and just to him to return the favor", says the Westchester native.

Here comes the fourth and last blog post on gender pay gap, written by Wilma and Eline from Lens,/ Kennedy Executive Search The Netherlands:
In the first three blogs we have seen that the Gender Pay Gap is still a very relevant issue, even today.
After interviewing female professionals here at Kennedy and its' offices in Europe and the USA, it became clear that the Gender Pay Gap is silently though firmly present on the work floor. Few aspects seem to be crucial when trying to understand the gender pay gap, amongst them: typical male/female behaviour, mutual miscommunication or misunderstanding and the effect of motherhood. Creating awareness seems to be crucial in an attempt to close the gap.
In the first blog we recognized that women often have difficulties positioning themselves. In the second blog we gave some practical advice that could help women during the negotiating process. In the third blog we zoomed in on how motherhood might influence the gender pay gap.
In this fourth and last blog we will shine our light on the role of hiring managers and recruiters.
First a practical example illustrating the day to day reality in executive search:
In the final offer stage of a recent assignment, our contact person in HR insisted on receiving a copy of the current pay slip of the preferred candidate. Moreover, the HR Manager stated that without this total transparency she would not consider offering the position at all.
We agreed with the candidate to cooperate on this and met the requirement of our Client company. All went well, our candidate was offered the position against a salary that included a fair rise compared to his previous salary and all were happy.
But does it help to close the gender pay gap?
Knowing that women are paid less for equal work, to take the current salary level as starting point of the negotiating process, will include the risk of an ever-existing gender pay gap. Women will stay behind since they start from a lower salary position.
If the above candidate, male or female, would discover afterwards that peers are paid significantly more, this will have a negative effect on job satisfaction on the long run.
In our conversations with female professionals it was mentioned that the main reason for women to quit their job, or even stop their professional career at all, is bad experience with their direct manager.
An HR Director (male) put it this way:
"Women tend to save their criticism to the very last moment when it's actually too late. It often happens that during the exit conversation, after handing in their resignation, women finally open up and talk about what they had really wanted and expected all along in terms of promotion, career development or extra education. We lost several female employees with strong career perspectives in our company by this."
To avoid this type of costly miscommunication, it takes extra responsibility of those who are involved in defining salary levels and extending offers to new hires: budget keepers, hiring managers, HR Managers and recruiters.
We heard a terrific example of a company taking this responsibility very serious:
"Our policy is to hire within the benchmarked range. Even if a candidate requests a salary that is below the range, we increase it to make sure it's within range and matches experience level."
"We have also done an internal compensation audit. Discrepancies between any employees with the same title are reviewed and adjusted if warranted."
"We ended up hiring one of the women. We offered her a salary within our benchmarked range and it was higher than what she requested."
"I was 30K lower than the benchmarked salary range for my job title. I presented the data on where the benchmark was and my company did a salary adjustment to get me in range."
A big hooray for this company located in the Midwest of the US, known as a rather conservative area of the country.
As an Executive Search consultant, doing all the right things throughout the hiring process, seems to be even more important when your mission is to close the gender pay gap.
We are in perfect position to discuss matters of diversity during the intake with client companies. We can make an extra effort when approaching candidates and create a safe environment during the interview where candidates feel at ease and show their best. When presenting female candidates, we may put extra attention to emphasizing strong points. We can take an active role during the negotiating process and prep our female candidates with comprehensive salary information.
Or: as one of our respondents told us: "Executive Search companies can add significantly to this issue by bringing awareness: blogging, writing and talking about it."
This was our fourth blog regarding the Gender Pay Gap. We will continue to discuss the subject in our professional environment and hopefully inspired you to do so too.

Wes Craven's 1989 filmShocker, also known as "The Boss From X-Files as A Serial Killer With Electrical Powers" and not the hand gesture with an entirely different meaning, is gearing up for a sequel at some point this year. This is one of those "why the hell would they?" cases where the original was so bad, it just has no business getting a sequel. Find out all about it after the jump.
Mitch Pileggi, who played FBI assistant director Walter Skinner in The X-Files, stars as Horace Pinker, a serial killer who has made a deal with the devil. Once he gets caught and sentence to death in the electric chair, he comes back as a pure energy source and is able to transfer his consciousness between human hosts. So, he goes on another killing spree with his newfound power.
However, his estranged son realizes that he can be controlled, like any energy source, and eventually forces him into a television transmitter, where he chases him across the television landscape. They go through Entertainment Tonight, where they encounter John Tesh, zip though some old war footage, and even pass by Leave It To Beaver. No kidding. Just like in that recent Jumper commercial. Or in Amazon Women From The Moon. Eventually the son stops him with the mightiest of all weapons, the television remote. And... scene.
Please, zap this idea before it gets out of control and we have a repeat performance.

Supposedly, that is the Crips' gang sign those Swedish handball team women are all flashing. It may as well be a gangbang sign, because odds are good Usain Bolt rammed home a 9.63 in each one of those broads' Nordic pussies.
Now I know some (most) of you looking at this pic felt a blood pressure rise or, at the least, a stirring of disgust. That's perfectly natural. Seeing women of your race (or tribe, or family) bang an outsider alpha male interloper, even going so far as adopting his cultural swagger and betraying their very essence as members of your shared tribe, and feeling emotions that would scandalize polite society, is a primal reaction that is evolved in all humans and has therefore likely served a beneficial role to our reproductive fitness. The id monster will not be reeducated.
It's said that Swedish men are, arguably, the world's most feminized men, bending backwards to feminist demands, rhythmically swaying to intone feminist boilerplate and flagellate themselves for their sin of being born men. It's also said that Swedish women are among the most eager of the world's women to sample the cock of the Other.
My purpose with this post is to proffer that the emasculation of Sweden's men has a direct, causal effect on the willingness and ardor and shamelessness with which Sweden's fully feminist women rush into the crotches of decidedly non-feminist, self-confident alien swashbucklers. When your women's kinsmen — the men, lest the reminder be needed, who are the presumed benefactors of their women's sex — are lickspittle, mincing betaboys who happily accede to every asinine feminist idea, it should be no surprise to scholars of female nature that the women who hold such ahistorically lopsided power over their countrymen would, unintentionally, geld them so thoroughly that they are reduced to anhedonic lumps the likes of which the male competitor Usain Bolts of the world could run over with impunity.
What this photo symbolizes better than anything is the age-old and unmitigable female paradox of insisting upon shit she does not really want. If you listen carefully and follow to the letter your women's rambling feminist inanities, you get Sweden, land of the castrated men who repulse their own women. If, on the other hand, you dismiss and deride, in action as well as word, the feminists in your midst with the cocky assurance of the man who makes no excuses for his raw masculinity, you might piss off a few ugly manjaws, but you get to enjoy the continued admiration and carnal desire of your beautiful native women.
Game can save Sweden's men from utter humiliation. Game at its most primitive is an illusion of power, but an illusion of power is still better than powerlessness.
This post gently massaged into Bill Bennett's shoulders.

Paying tribute to one of dopest Jazz record labels.
Black Jazz founded by Pianist, Gene Russell & Percussionists, Dick Schory. The label was created to promote African-American Jazz Musicians. The Records they products are so dope and were hard to find for myself in Hawai'i.

Here's how you can design your own customized cupboards and/or pantry.
First, you need to know that Modular Mates® come in 4 Shapes and 5 Sizes. These canisters were engineered to fit virtually ANY cupboard or pantry configuration, even your RV or boat.
Shapes: Oval, Super Oval, Square & Rectangle
Sizes: Height of a 1, Height of a 2, Height of a 3, Height of a 4, Height of a 5.
Here's a hint. If you are a "scooper" you'll probably like the square & rectangle containers. If you're a "pourer" the oval & super oval are well-suited for that. Or, if you like to pour some things & scoop others, use a combination of the shapes depending on the particular item.
- Decide which of the 6 most common storage centers you will install. The centers are: Baking, Snack, Breakfast, Pasta & Rice, Beverage, and Spice.
- Determine which cupboard and shelves you'll be using. Measure the shelves front-to-back & side-to-side. Also measure the height between shelves. This is especially important if they are stationary.
- Complete the Custom Kitchen Planning Chart. (You'll get the opportunity to request planning materials at the end of this post.)
Remember, if the space between your shelves is 9", that is the height of a 4. You can fill that space with one 4 container, one 3 + one 1 container, two 2 containers or four 1 containers, etc. (See the top/left set in the first photo above, as an example.) Once you know what you want to store, you simply find the container shape & size that best holds that item and fits your storage space.
Tupperware's Modular Mates® are a unique and functional food storage and organization system. This system will save you time, waste, space & taste!
Facts: The containers are dishwasher safe, and carry Tupperware's Limited Lifetime Warranty against chipping, cracking, peeling or breaking, under normal non-commercial use for the lifetime of the product.
To recieve your Custom Kitchen Planning Chart by email, CLICK HERE and complete the Contact Form adding "Planning Chart" in the comments section. If you like my help to design your storage, you can mention that and I'll call you to discuss.

But suburbia is about to be shaken up by Huey, a ten-year-old leftist revolutionary, and his eight-year-old misfit brother, Riley. Race Relations, tabloid media, hip-hop culture, Santa Claus - The Boondocks hilariously takes on every taboo.
Featuring the voices of Regina King (Ray, Miss Congeniality 2), John Witherspoon (Soul Plane, Friday After Next), Mike Epps (Roll Bounce, Guess Who), and Charles Q.

The students are starting to talk increasingly about the impending trip home. I must admit, as we close in on these last few days on South Uist I'm also starting to get excited about the prospect of getting home. However, I keep reminding everyone that the recording we do at the end of the project is the most important part of our fieldwork. Any failure to keep our minds focused on the project might be catastrophic to the research we completed this summer. Of course, another day of unbelievable weather probably didn't help us stay focused!
While most of the crew worked on the final clean-up, photography, and drawing of our units, Emily and Karl did a masterful job of completing a topographic map of the eastern side of the island. They not only learned how to do all of the basics with the total station, but they also mastered resections, backshots, sideshots, and how to establish new datum points as needed. They even turned it into a thrilling game of "Marco Polo."
On Sunday and Monday we were joined by Rachel, a professional photographer from the Isle of Lewis who documented our work with a much better eye than I possess. She was great to have around and I want to thank Lehigh for arranging to have her visit. At the same time, she was nice enough to sate the group's collective dog-withdrawal by bringing her terrier mix, Miguel, to the site on both days. It was so nice to be able to play with Miguel and I think Allie may have decided to pack him in her carryon luggage for the trip home. Even hard-hearted Dr. Wesson (see http://www.ratemyprof.com for confirmation) got in on the the puppy love.
Meanwhile, we got some amazing footage with the drone; documenting both the last stage of excavation in all of our units, and also the beauty of the island itself. Here are a few short outtakes from what promises to be an excellent documentation of our work this summer from a completely new perspective

I once knew a girl named Steph. I got the feeling that she didn't particularly care for me. Which is odd, most people think I'm quite charming. It could have been the way she acted towards me or the things she said about me or it could have been the way she said "I don't particularly care for you Tim". None the less she was a friend of some of my friends so we had to deal with it.
In a time of certain despair Steph was going to be away for a week and couldn't find anyone else willing to take care of her goldfish. So she asked me.
I made it very clear to her that I did not have a good track record with goldfish and that in all likelihood it would be dead before she made it back. She assured me that it was very simple, all I had to do was feed it once a day and it would be fine. I assured her that if it didn't make it that I would promptly purchase a new one to replace and she would never know the difference. She was very familiar with the marking of her fish and assured me that she would know.
I had every intention of taking care of that fish and proving to Steph that I was a trustworthy and useful individual.
Two or three days after she left, it was dead. I don't know what happened, but one morning I woke up and it was bouncing from the top of the bowl to the bottom of the bowl and not long after that it was floating belly up. I did everything that I was supposed to do.
If there was ever a person that I wanted to avoid upsetting, it was her. Luckily she took it pretty well. I had left her fish floating in it's bowl, so she could see that there was no foul play involved and so that I didn't have to dispose of it myself. I even hugged her and told her that everything was going to be alright and that her fish enjoyed the last days of his or her life.
You can't please everyone. No matter what you do, someone is not going to like you. You're always going to be stepping on someone's toes or somehow upsetting them. Most of the people that you upset really don't matter.
Here's today's quotable;
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
– Bernard Baruch
Who are you upsetting?

Zubrowka vodka producer CEDC saw net profit fall by 18% in the three months to June 30, driven primarily by adverse currency movements.
Net profit stood at US$18.6 million on turnover of US$362.1 million, a drop of 14%.
William Carey, president and chief executive officer of the US-based business, said: "In light of the soft consumer environment that we are currently facing, we continue to outperform our main competitors in core markets, led by increasing market share gains of our core vodka brands, as well as continued growth of our import and export business.
"Our continued focus on streamlining the business is starting to show positive results in driving improved gross and operating margins."
Carey added: "As we look into the second half of the year the company is well-positioned to take advantage of a consumer pick-up with a larger market share and a lower underlying cost base."
CEDC is the largest producer of vodka in Poland and exports Zubrowka to the UK. It is also the maker of the Absolwent, Bols and Soplica vodka brands, and the Polish importer of a portfolio including Guinness, Remy Martin and Gallo.

Old Tatar language
The Old Tatar language (also Old Bashkir language,[1] Volga Turki) was a literary language used among the some ethnic groups of Volga-Ural region (Tatars, Bashkirs and others) from the Middle Ages till the 19th century. It was a regional variety of Turki, a written Turkic language used throughout the Muslim Turkic world.
Old Tatar is a member of the Kipchak (or Northwestern) group of Turkic languages, although it is partly derived from the ancient Bolgar language (the first poem, considered to be written by Qol Ghali in Old Tatar dates back to Volga Bulgaria's epoch). It included many Persian and Arabic loans.
In its written form the language was spelled uniformly among different ethnic groups, speaking different Turkic languages of the Kipchak group, but pronunciation differed from one people to another, approximating to the spoken language, making this written form universal for different languages. The main reason for this universal usage was that the principal differences between the languages of the Kipchak group are in the pronunciation of the vowels, which was not adequately represented by the Arabic script.
The language formerly used the Arabic script and later its variant İske imlâ. The Old Tatar Language is a language of Idel-Ural poetry and literature. With the Ottoman Turkish, Azeri, Kipchak,[2] Uigur[3] and Chagatai, they were the only Turkic literary languages used in the Middle Ages. It was actively used in publishing until 1905, when the first Tatar newspaper started being published in modern Tatar, which until then had been used only in a spoken form.

As the Novice Wordsmith and I start gearing up for this year's NaNoWriMo in November, I always start playing with genre ideas. And whenever someone asks what they should write about, I always answer with this:
"Well, what's your genre?"
Without knowing the answer to that question, your novel is going to be an orphan plot idea and a character in search of a direction. You can have a great character concept, but without knowing what genre the story they star in falls into, you're going to be going through the motions of living without much plot potential.
(Slice of Life is actually a genre type. It's used for sitcoms most often.)
Some genres define the universe (Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Steampunk for example), and some define the type of plot (Mystery, Drama, Crime, Romance), and others classify the expectations of how the novel is written (Journal, Young Adult, Advice). It's a box that when someone opens the cover, they know what kind of things lie inside the pages.
It's easy to pick your favorite genre and write in it exclusively. Your writing voice is all about comfort, because if you aren't comfortable with what you're writing, you won't want to write it, usually. But as Wordsmith alluded to in a previous post, you can push the envelope of your comfort zone. Why write what you usually write, especially when you're just getting started? The first novel or story you write is to prove that you can finish what you start. But that doesn't have to be your genre.
Some folks like writing along similar lines. They have a favorite genre that they live in, because their writing flows naturally to that place. They fall in love with their personally crafted universe and stay there. They become a genre author without even realizing it, because they think, 'Oh, why stop at one novel, why not a trilogy, or a series?'
The best and worst thing to be is known as a specific genre author, because you wind up writing more and more of that genre. You wind up with fans of your work and they judge your new book in the same genre (if not the same universe) by the previous ones. If you write something new in a different genre, it will be compared to your other genre and you will be measured. "Eh, so and so writes better SF books than fantasy." This is nothing wrong, necessarily, because sometimes _readers_ prefer one genre over others, and when you, 'their' author, write out of their genre, they're going to be a harder sell.
My advice to you is to push yourself. Deliberately write in different genres just to see if other ones work for you. Don't just write in the same space of your favorite authors – go to the library or bookstore and go to a different section. Pick out a book by an author that has a lot of titles on the shelf, and flip through a few pages. See if the style and feel is alien to you, or makes sense.
Then write in that genre the next time you put pen (electronic or otherwise) to paper (ditto). See what happens.
If you want to get fancy and go for even more challenging? Do a mashup of genres. Don't just say, 'I'm writing a horror novel.' Try 'steampunk/mystery' or 'horror/journal', or go out on a limb and try 'science-fiction/advice/journal' — that last one, by the way, is how I would classify the Zombie Survival Guide.'
The point of getting out of 'your' genre is not just to push you to do something different, by the way – it's a growth experiment. If you want to be a paid author, but the market that your genre fits into is saturated, you should be able to shift gears and write in spaces where the market needs stories.
Not only that? It avoids getting into novels that are superficially similar to each other; some series authors fall into that sort of trap. Expanding your repertoire of writable genres means that you can get away from 'home' and find an adventure waiting to happen by the side of the proverbial author's road, no matter how alien it may seem at first.
When I participate in the NaNoWriMo, I look at what I did last year — genre first, and say, "I am not doing that genre this year." It's another way of writing without looking back.

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty, this week we are taking inspiration from the Succulent Garden section of the Occasions Catalogue, pages 20 - 31. I know I often say that there is a lot of inspiration in the catalogue pages, but this week there really is lots of product samples to take inspiration from.
I was going to CASE one of the images from the Oh So Succulent Bundle, but then I got flicking through the pages and saw that the That's The Tag Bundle falls in these pages too. Having just received this bundle in the mail I couldn't resist using it for my CASE this week.
I had fun making the main three tags from the inspiration pages, but couldn't resist using one of the chickens from the Hey, Chic stamp set that I had sitting pre-coloured and cut on my desk.
The first tag I copied almost directly from the catalogue image, but swapped out the wooden heart with a little white bow, I also added matching Sweet Sugarplum ribbon.
Next up was the happy birthday tag, as you can see I kept the stamps and framelits the same but substituted Mellon Mambo and Blushing Bride for the white and blue of the original. I also used soem of the gold Metallic Ribbon from the SAB combo pack that you can earn free with any $90 order, it is just divine.
My final CASE from the catalogue is the cute little tag above which I used Mint Macaroon, Sweet Sugarplum, and Flirty Flamingo as my colours. I also added a third little flower to balance the tag. I love how these flowers have a matching framelit so no fussy cutting need.
Finally my Hey, Chic tag, I think the little exploding stars add to the crazy feel of this chicken. What do you think?
I hope the team has inspired you to join in the challenge this week, if so just add a picture of your project to the Facebook group using the link above. You don't need to use the same stamps etc from the catalogue, it is fine to take inspiration from the layout or colours, and use whatever Stampin' Up! products you have on hand.
Kathryn has been inspired to create.
Happy Stamping

How to Stop Teeth Grinding in a Child
While bruxism, or teeth grinding, is very common among children, and often disappears by itself over time, it can cause several long-term issues, such as chipped teeth, jaw pain and severe headaches. Follow these steps to help your child to stop grinding his teeth.
1. Stay alert. Most kids who grind their teeth do so in their sleep, and therefore don't even realize they have a problem. If your child complains of a sore jaw in the morning, sucks his thumb, bites on the inside of his cheeks, or makes a harsh noise with his mouth while sleeping, he may have bruxism.
2 Discover if there is an issue that's bothering your child, as teeth grinding is often brought on by stress. Try and resolve the issue, and the grinding may stop.
3 .Take your child to see Dr. Doyle if he complains of pain in his jaw, or has damaged his teeth. We may fit him with a night guard, such as those worn by professional athletes, to protect him from further harming his mouth.
4. Tell your child not to chew on pens, pencils, straws or toothpicks, and avoid giving him chewing gum. These habits are harmful because they allow your child's jaw muscles to become accustomed to clenching, which will make him more prone to bruxism.
5. Place a warm cloth on your child's cheek, near his ear to relax his jaw muscles before he goes to bed for the night.
6. Provide your child with water throughout the day. Teeth grinding often occurs when an individual becomes dehydrated.
7. Start a soothing bedtime routine with your child, so he is relaxed and comfortable before bed. Start with a small snack with a warm glass of milk, followed by a warm bath and a story to transition him into a restful sleep. Do not give the child chocolate or flavored milk. The caffeine in the chocolate and the sugar in the flavoring can keep him up or make him restless.
These great helpful tips are from ehow.com

Why A Copper Sink?
Today's custom homes are all about the subtle and not so subtle nuances such as granite countertops, stainless appliances, natural tile flooring,
and custom cabinetry. With this level of investment, the addition of a custom copper sink just makes good sense. Think of it as an investment that will pay off immediately
in terms of your own enjoyment. And it will only improve over time as copper actually ages quite nicely!
The whole point of a copper sink is the timeless appearance of handcrafted quality. Since copper is so malleable, it can be by hand crafted into endless
elaborate designs. And, unlike cast iron, copper will not shatter thus chips and cracks are virtually impossible. You could even drop a heavy cooking
pot into a copper sink and the worst that would happen is a new scratch that, over time, will just add more character to your sink!
Still Not Convinced?
Let's look at some of the benefits of Copper in your Kitchen:
Copper has long been used in the kitchen, whether as a material for kitchen sinks or cookware. As a result,
the pros far outweigh the cons of copper.
1) Adds a custom look to your kitchen
2) Many handmade, artisan pieces to choose from
3) More antimicrobial than stainless steel
4) If left unpolished, copper develops a beautiful patina over time
5) Copper does not rust or corrode
6) These copper sinks come in a variety of styles: smooth, hammered, with designs, without designs.
Decide for yourself. Decide on the best. Decide on copper!
Under-counter or Drop-in Installation
We have kept our cost for copper sinks very low. These sinks are custom built when you order and manufactured in China so we ask for 4-8 weeks for normal delivery.
Our normal refund and restocking provisions do not apply to our Sinks!
Since these sinks are custom fabricated per your order and specifications,
they cannot be returned.
