text: Digital Twitter Finally Reveals Its Plan to Make Money From All Those Free Tweets Posted Everywhere Ads will begin appearing in apps like FlipboardBy Garett Sloane|February 3, 2015 Share By Garett Sloane|February 3, 2015 Share Promoted tweets are going to show up outside of Twitter for the first time, the company announced today, revealing part of its strategy for increasing ad exposure that had been been limited to its own site and apps. Now, it will serve paid Twitter messages to partner sites and apps, including Flipboard and Yahoo Japan, partly owned by Yahoo. Both Web properties already have strong Twitter integrations with sections devoted to streams of activity powered by the social messaging site. Twitter said its Promoted Tweets would show up in those Twitter content areas on the third-party sites, as well as in other sections of the sites, and the ads would have the "same look and feel that is native" to the experiences on them. "For the thousands of brands already advertising on Twitter, these new partnerships open a significant opportunity to extend the reach of their message to a larger audience," Twitter said in a blog post today. Twitter also said brands would be able to use the same targeting data and creative they use on its platform to reach users with these syndicated tweets. It is clear why Twitter is looking to expand its ad business off its own ad platform, a strategy it started wholly embracing when it bought the ad network MoPub in 2013: It needs to find larger audiences than it attracts on its own. With MoPub, Twitter has said it can hit more than 1 billion users on mobile devices across various Web properties. While announcing syndicated Promoted Tweets, it said that last quarter tweets generated 185 billion impressions outside Twitter. Those are impressions Twitter can't afford to let fly free, especially when it has had a hard time attracting massive user numbers like Facebook has. Still, Twitter is known for its oversized influence over outside media, where its messages show up across entertainment and news sites, all over television, and on out-of-home screens and billboards. "What makes Twitter unique is that tweets can flow from Twitter to other mediums seamlessly, like TV, websites, and mobile applications," the company said in its blog post. Besides expanding the reach of its ads to all those areas, the social messaging service has been making changes to increase its appeal and lure more visitors. Just last week, it introduced the long-anticipated instant timelines that make its platform more accessible to new users, who now get help setting up their accounts with automatically populated feeds based on their interests. Twitter also has undergone redesigns to make it more dynamic with more video and photos, including a new video player developed after it bought SnappyTV. In another departure from its text-based, free-flowing roots, Twitter is increasingly controlling the stream of messages, showing users popular tweets they may have missed or even from accounts they never followed. Twitter's syndicated ads announcement comes just as the company is set to reveal fourth-quarter results Thursday. Share http://adweek.it/1z7NrAm copy Adweek Adweek

Hi, I'm Kristin. And I'm recovering perfectionist who has fallen off the wagon. I can not even admit to you how long I have been working on these packets. Let's just say, it was back in the good old days when Facebook was for posting pictures of your food and your vacation.
You guys, this is what I do. And also, what I don't do. If I can't do something exceptionally well or 200% accurate or absolutely done to the nines, I just don't do it at all. That's why my closet floor very well may have fallen through the foundation from the weight of the clothes piled atop it but I wouldn't know because there are that. many. clothes. on top of the hole. Sure, a normal person would hang up a few things a day when there was a spare minute. Me? Nope. If I don't have time for a reorg, there's no point in picking up anything. Because that makes COMPLETE AND TOTAL SENSE.
I know. I'm a pyscho.
So these packs may not be complete. In fact, I'm kind of hoping they aren't so you can grab them at the sale price and then get updates when the collective everyone tells me what is missing. That's your catch for getting it on sale, ok? You have to tell me what is missing.
This series was created for those silly little mix-ups that need to be corrected. Reversals are so many times just habit and while yes, they are also often developmental, it doesn't mean we can't practice doing things the right way, amiright?!
The first pack is for common letter reversals. Students will identify each letter and circle them according to the color code. Then they fill in the missing letter to complete a label and color in the picture. Fun!
The next pack is for common spelling pattern errors I saw in my classroom. For example, when learning the /ar/ sound, many of them would use that any time there was an a or r in the word, even if they weren't paired correctly {ex: rake became "ark"}. Students will highlight words with the spelling pattern you're practicing then write 6 words that contain the pattern. They finish by choosing one of their words to write in a sentence.
Yes, some of them will copy words from the box. Others will be able to come up with their own. That's a great quick assessment to see who can apply it to other words. I also decided to accept
nonsense words when I had trouble coming up with 6 for some of them!
The last pack is for commonly mixed-up sight words. If my students consistently read saw for was, they got a practice sheet. If they wrote my every time they meant me...practice sheet. Practice doesn't always mean homework, either! I'm not a paper pusher. These can be added to reading folders, independent practice literacy centers, morning work, a quick writing warm-up, etc. Just like in the letter packets, students will identify words and circle them according to the color code. Then they choose the appropriate word to accurately complete the sentence and illustrate what it says.
It's also available in a bundle so you can save if you need to "differentiate your instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners." Can you tell I've been doing this a while? ;)
That's it! Pin away for later or print for morning work tomorrow but grab it now while it's at a discounted price. Then email me whatever's missing. That's what you agree to with your purchase!

|The Electronic Guitar
|Episode Guide
| Previous
"Johnny Cakes"
| Next
"Sleepover at Johnny's"
Johnny Tube is the second part of 60th episode and the 120th episode over all.
Johnny wants to upload a video on SnoobTube to get it on the featured page.
The kids are at school in the computer labs on Snoobtube, watching the High-pitched Hal videos. High-pitched Hal has gotten 100,000 views so he is on the featured video, and has a movie deal in Hollywood. Johnny wants to become an internet sensation so he can star in his own movie. Johnny gets his webcam and records himself talking about his room.
The next day Gil doing the same thing Johnny was doing, except shirtless. Gil got 100,000 views so he got a movie deal also. Next Johnny attempted to skateboard overhis house. It didn't work, but viewers like crashes more than extreme stunts. But Dukey forgot to press the record button. Next, Johnny did an animal encounter with some kind of a raccoon. When they let the raccoon out of his cage, it attacked his dad.
Dukey still posted the video online, and Hugh got the movie deal, but he couldn't accept on behalf of his injuries. When Johnny got back home, Susan and Mary told him to test a self-strumming guitar and posted his playing on SnoobTube, which finally got on the featured page. Though he didn't get a movie deal because the movie that included High-pitched Hal, Gil, and Bling-Bling Boy wasn't very good. But Dukey reasons that one day he could be a rock star.
- SnoobTube and The Title are parodies of YouTube.
- During the end of the episode, Johnny wants to be a rockstar, then Dukey breaks fourth wall when saying later for the episode (a plot that has not been shown yet; Dukey may have been joking or creating fanfiction fuel, though).
- High-Pitched Hal is a parody of Fred Figglehorn
- Badger Dad is an obvious similar parody of Badger Attack.
- When Bling-Bling Boy shows Johnny and Dukey the lab video Susan and Mary made, it has 100,000 views. The twins never got a contract. Though they could've just refused it.
- On the real Youtube, 100,000 views is not enough to go viral; it's popular, and if it has garnered that many views in a day, it may be featured on the main page, but it is not, officially, "viral".
- The HPH /ABB /SB Movie is a similar parody of The Chronicles of Rick-Roll, based on various Youtube memes.
- Alien Bigbranian is a similar parody to Annoying Orange.
- Shirtless Boy is a similar parody to Nigahiga, Tobuscus or Smosh.
- Running Gag: Susan and Mary asking Johnny to do his 1000th test.
i wont stand up for this although you do sound kinda funny

Printed Matter is pleased to launch THE COMPLEXITY OF STUFF, a new artists' book by Noah Lyon. The work began as a couple staples and 32 blank pages. Through the use of acrylics, collage and the occasional sharpie Noah Lyon has transformed it into something that appears cartoonish but that would melt your brain if you tried to read it like a comic.
So please join us in the dead of winter to contemplate death and other topics such as racism, police brutality, sports, food, ninjas, end times and ice cream. Special appearances by GG Allin and Ol' Dirty Bastard.
The Complexity of Stuff is signed and numbered in an edition of 100. The book retails for $18.00 and can be purchased at the Printed Matter storefront or online here. We'll have many titles from Lyon available at the launch.
NOAH LYON is a painter and provocateur that has a fondness for using and abusing copy machines. His ubiquitous Retard Riot zines and buttons have topped the Printed Matter bestseller list for many years. He lives and works in Brooklyn and Scandinavia.

I love Million Dollar Decorators on Bravo TV. There is so much satisfaction in seeing some of the biggest names in design go thru the same trials and tribulations that a little decorator does in Philly. The scale may be different but the drama is the same. I always say, if you have an eye, you can shop anywhere and apparently the LA Times put our friends, Kathryn Ireland, Mary McDonald, Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Jeffrey Alan Marks to the test.
Armed with nothing but a credit card and good taste, it's interesting to see what this creative group came away with and how it was going to be used.
This $17.00 pillow is in keeping with Kathryn's country manor aesthetic. The crewel work gives added texture. Mixed in with her own textiles, it will look like a million bucks.
She marveled at the French Provincial bench. She said it could go in her showroom just the way it is and she can sell it for 3 times the price. " Shopping at Marshalls, she says, tongue firmly in cheek, "makes me realize that I am overpriced and overrated." Say What??
Who ever made those towels that Martin spotted must have had him in mind. That pattern is one he uses often in his richly layered, ethnic style. "Some of the most expensive design houses are using this print." They are versatile, instant updaters and reversible. What more can you ask for from towels ranging in price from 5.99 to 7.99?
Martin spies classically shaped drum stools in wicker. They can be used as side tables or seating. An added layer of texture is design deliciousness! For 39.99, take two Marty.
Jeffery is feeling festive at K Mart. He is thinking 2 of these 39.99 pre lit trees on either side of an entrance or in multiples on a lawn. The trees clean lines would look terrific in a contemporary setting.
The frames look good on a gallery wall either on their own or mixed with other frames. What ever you do, group them for more bang for the buck! They also make a great personalized gift, especially with a picture of the receiver in it.
Monogrammed anything instantly makes it look more expensive. A quick update for a powder room in a pinch. As a gift, it looks like you gave it a little more thought. How thoughtful, at 7.99 you can throw in a candle.
The outdoor rug mimicking sisal already bound with tape was a no brainer for Mary. The rug for 79.99 used alone, side by side or coordinated with another rug works because of its simplicity.
Sandra Dee's plastic hobnob tumblers for 3.99 each would make a great addition to an outdoor table, or party. Coincidentially, Mary has the real thing and uses them all the time. I would buy these in a heartbeat.
I find the secret to discount shopping is taking a good look at the weight of something. How is it made, are the seams straight and do they meet? Is the color deep and saturated, does it remind you of something you've seen at a higher price point? Mixing your bargains in with more expensive pieces you may already own elevates them and makes everything seem that much more interesting.

With 2015 coming to a close and 2016 about to roar into our lives, stop a moment to reflect on whether you are a lighthouse or tugboat.
A lighthouse can help save boats.
A tug boat can help save boats.
Their process in achieving this is dramatically different. The tug boat goes out and back pushing and pulling with great effort to help/save an individual boat. The lighthouse stands fixed and simply shines it's light. No pushing. No pulling. Each boat has the ability to choose if they heed the light. The lighthouse stands firm regardless of the decisions of others and conditions surrounding it. It simply radiates light 24/7.
Each of us has a purpose and reason and it takes all kinds to keep this wacky world turning but it is always a good exercise to take a look at where you are and where you are going.
See you on the highways and byways!

Europeanization as Interpretation, Translation, and Editing of Public Policies
Europeanization as Interpretation, Translation, and Editing of Public Policies
In this chapter it is argued that Europeanization is a process of institutionalization in which new rules and new ways of thinking evolve. Within these new institutional and ideational structures a policy will change and take new forms. The empirical illustrations used are based on the ongoing formation of European cooperation on defence equipment, with the analysis focusing on the institutionalization of the rules for this cooperation, and how these rules are edited at the domestic level. The first main section of the chapter elaborates on the concept of institutionalization and how it can be useful in empirical research on Europeanization. The following (main) section discusses how new rules of the game have evolved on how to cooperate in Europe on defence equipment, and then studies in what ways these rules have been edited to fit into the domestic contexts of Sweden, France and the United Kingdom.
Keywords: defence equipment, European cooperation, Europeanization, France, institutionalization, public policies, Sweden, United Kingdom

"Moon Over Buffalo" by Ken Ludwig is a laugh-out-loud farce stuffed with "comic invention, running gags, and a neat sense of absurdity " (The New York Post). In the play, Charlotte and George Hay are on tour in Buffalo, doing "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Private Lives" in repertory, when they receive word that Frank Capra, the famous Hollywood director, is coming to town to see their matinee. This could be their last chance at stardom!

I have never forgotten Patisserie Etienne since I had a first taste of their cakes several years ago. One reason is because the logo is a cute pig with flying wings and a curly tail.Second reason, the cakes are all creatively presented and easily catches your attention to the glass showcase miles away.
Baked Cheesecake with a Mountain of Crumbly Sables! (France and Japan Cream Cheese for the Baked Cheese Layer)
プルミエール PREMIER (Raspberry Chocolate Mousse)Third, some people prefer simple cakes. But as a greedy person, I like my cakes to have multiple components and textures (mousse+ganache+cream+crunchy element X) and Etiennes cakes fit the bill again.
VOICE (Chocolate Tart filled with Banana and Caramel)
White Piano (Mascarpone Mousse & Berry Compote)Fourth, while it is run by a pair of talented husband and wife pastry chefs, it is supported by a strong team of chefs and staffs who are given recognition on their official website. The owner chef, Fujimoto Toshimi has represented Japan at the 10th Coupe Du Monde de la Patisserie and clinched the overall top award, beating other strong competitor countries like France and Italy. It was the first time since 1991 that Japan clinched overall champion and after 2007, Japan has not managed to climb back to the No. position. France was No.1 in 2013.
This Libertale is the winning pastry in 2007. Though I've had similar ones before, this multi-texture chocolate caramel creation could be a breakthrough 7 years ago.
While caramelized nuts adorned the sides of the cake, the interior is like a complicated maze even though it did not look colorful.
Working from the top, there is intense caramel ganache, two types of chocolate mousse (outer-milk, inner-dark), banana compote, moist banana financier and a chocolate sponge mixed with crushed caramelized nuts.

Does this look like a pig's buttocks? Anyway, this signature cream puff is really called "Pig's Butt"
While its dark brown skin looked promisingly crunchy, the choux puff turned out to be rather chewy and thicker than average. Fortunately, it was baked thoroughly and filled with exceedingly amount of vanilla custard cream. Indeed a truly voluptuous pig ass!
Decorated with a red chocolate macaron, this is a five component cake with chocolate ganache and gritty sable base. The earl grey flavour is so discernible in both the white chocolate mousse and brown sponge layer that I thought I was drinking royal milk tea.
Saint Honore
Having a penchant for Saint Honore, I got this immediately even though it wasn't my preferred praline-caramel filling. Still, the cherry buttercream and pistachio-filled cream puffs were sufficient to nurse my cravings. Worthy of mention is the thin layer of biscuit at the base that cushions the entire structure and added another dimension to this typical choux puff creation.
Pistachio mousse, strawberry compote, strawberry mousse, sponge. Perhaps other cakes were too outstanding and thus this paled in comparison. A safe and standard creation.
オンクチューズマンゴだぷりこThe white chocolate mousse with mango apricot jam and sponge cake provided a sweet tart finish. But what swept me off my feet wasn't the orange oblong-shaped macaron but the unusual florentine -lookalike at the base that tasted like granola crunch bar.
Patisserie Etienne puts different ingredients together into an unanticipated manner yet never seem to go wrong with each experiment. It also come up with seasonal creations more frequently than other patisseries so I'm pretty sure one will never be bored with the items here!

New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) The Congress on Saturday accused the ruling BJP of making "baseless" terror allegations against Rajya Sabha MP Ahmed Patel in a "despicable attempt" to avoid an electoral defeat in poll-bound Gujarat.
Reacting to Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani's allegations against Patel, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said the BJP was hatching a conspiracy against the Congress MP and asked the party to look inwards.
Rupani on Friday night demanded Patel's resignation from the Rajya Sabha alleging his links with Mohammed Qasim Stimberwala, one of the two alleged Islamic State operatives arrested by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad on Wednesday in Surat. The arrested suspects were allegedly planning to blow up a synagogue in Ahmedabad.
Patel has rubbished the charge that he had links with Stimberwala.
"Sardar Patel Hospital is a charitable hospital in which 150-200 employees work. Neither Ahmed Patel nor any of his family members is a trustee of the hospital. They also don't hold any office of profit in the hospital," said Surjewala, adding that Stimberwala was one the employees.
He said the ATS should initiate a probe against the suspected terrorists if it has evidence.
"The Gujarat Chief Minister, in order to hide his incapability, is trying to hatch a conspiracy against Congress leader Ahmed Patel and making baseless allegations against him in a very despicable attempt," the spokesperson said.
"The Congress has always fought against terrorism while the BJP has had an opposite record. Would Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah explain how terrorist Dawood Ibrahim's wife came to Mumbai under their nose in March 2016 and then left the country. How the Maharashtra government and intelligence agencies didn't even get a whiff of it and could not arrest her?"
Surjewala also said that some Islamic State agents arrested in Madhya Pradesh were found to have links with the BJP.
"A Maharashtra BJP leader Eknath Khadse had to resign for his alleged links with Dawood. So, the BJP should look inwards before pointing fingers at others."
The Congress leader said: "The BJP is staring at defeat in Gujarat and that is why they are rattled and making such baseless allegations against Congress leaders. Truth will win and the BJP will be defeated in Gujarat."
Rupani has also sought Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's clarification on the matter.

I've purchased the Maxis Broadband Mobile Wifi in November 2012 because as most of you know I am stuck in a mountain now working my butts off for survival as well as for the experience. Unfortunately, there's no wifi throughout the resort nor in my dorm area. As an internet addict, I need my wifi in my comfort zone. I spent a month scouting and asking around on what broadband is the best for Genting. It was quite a hands down to say Maxis conquered the hill like no other. Of course, we don't expect DiGi to really follow you everywhere as my phone's 3G sucked but workable. It just wasn't as smooth as I would like it to be. So, I just made the commitment to pay for a good working Wifi to travel with and so far it has been good. I have it in 4gb day time and 4gb non peak hours (2am-8am). Most of the time I will leave it till the end to download movies for the non-peak hours. Come on, who wakes up at 2am just to go online when she has work the next day.
This is a skincare routine that I have been using for quite a while sometime ago when I was trying to get rid of my acne issues on my forehead. Paid quite a sum of money for it and it worked for a while, then maybe because work got stressful and I stopped going for regular facial and unbalance hormones, probably had triggered my popping popcorn forehead again. I probably need to learn how to relax and just have a healthy lifestyle by not working so hard. Lols. I need to be happier in life.
I really think I need a good long break.xo,

Twins Minor League Report (9/1): Decisive Appy League Semifinal Game Coming Sunday
-Tyler Duffey, Johnny Field and Andrew Vasquez were all called up to the Twins. Zack Littell is also expected to get called up for Sunday's game.
-Omar Bencomo and Dietrich Enns were both promoted up from Chattanooga to Rochester.
-Bryan Sammons was activated from the DL and assigned to Chattanooga. He made his Double-A debut tonight.
Lehigh Valley 2, Rochester 1
Box Score
SP: Fernando Romero (3.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 5 BB, 3 K)
HR: None
Multi-hit games: Kennys Vargas (2-for-4)
Fernando Romero struggled to find the strike zone and the Red Wings' lineup couldn't get much going. Romero walked five batters in his three innings of work, throwing 38 of his 73 pitches for strikes in the process (52.1 percent).
Rochester's only run was scored in the first inning. Nick Gordon hit a two-out triple and scored on a Kennys Vargas single. D.J. Baxendale pitched a scoreless inning before Dietrich Enns held the IronPigs scoreless over the final five frames. Byron Buxton did not play.
Jackson 7, Chattanooga 5
Box Score
SP: Bryan Sammons (4.0 IP, 5 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 6 K)
HR: Andy Wilkins (12)
Multi-hit games: Luke Raley (3-for-5, 2B, 3B), Brian Navarreto (3-for-3, 2B, HBP)
This was Bryan Sammons' Double-A debut, and he got beat around a little bit (see above), though the six strikeouts are encouraging. Luke Raley, who will be representing the Twins in the Arizona Fall League this year, was a home run shy of the cycle and Brian Navarreto had a three-hit night as well.
Andy Wilkins continued to provide power for the Lookouts. He hit his 12th home run in what's been just 130 plate appearances for Chattanooga. Brent Rooker, who will also be participating in the AFL, was 1-for-3 with a pair of walks.
Clearwater 5, Fort Myers 2 (10 innings)
Box Score
SP: Edwar Colina (6.2 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 9 K)
HR: Jose Miranda (3)
Multi-hit games: None
The Miracle took a 2-0 lead, but the Threshers tied it up on a two-run homer in the sixth, then scored three runs in the top of the 10th inning. It was a rough night for the Fort Myers lineup, as Nos. 1 and 2 hitters Royce Lewis and Alex Kirilloff combined to go 1-for-10 with a pair of strikeouts and the team combined to go 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position.
Edwar Colina had a great night, striking out nine batters over 6 2/3 innings. Ryan Mason followed with 2 1/3 innings of scoreless ball before Hector Lujan gave up the runs in the 10th.
This loss dropped Fort Myers to a game behind the Charlotte Stone Crabs in the Florida State League South standings. The Miracle play their final regular season game tomorrow.
Lewis joined the Twins pregame broadcast on FSN for an interview, check it out:
Cedar Rapids 5, Beloit 2
Box Score
W: Carlos Suniaga (7.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K)
SV: Jared Finkel (2.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K)
HR: None
Multi-hit games: Gabriel Maciel (2-for-5, 2B), Trevor Larnach (2-for-3, 2B, BB), Ben Rodriguez (2-for-4, 2B), Ariel Montesino (2-for-3, BB, 2 SB)
The Kernels did most of their damage tonight in the third inning. Ariel Montesino led things off with a walk, stole second base and advanced to third on a ground out. Michael Helman was hit by a pitch to put runners at the corners.
That Montesino-Helman combo was able to pull off a double steal, giving the Kernels their first run. Trevor Larnach hit a double that plated another run, and then scored on a Ben Rodriguez double to give Cedar Rapids a three-run inning.
This was the first time Carlos Suniaga, who spent much of the early season as a reliever, pitched more than five innings. He went seven innings, remarkably needing just 83 pitches to do so, 61 of which were strikes (73.5 percent).
*Appalachian League Semifinals*
Kingsport 7, Elizabethton 6 (10 innings)
Box Score
SP: Luis Rijo (5.0 IP, 9 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K)
HR: None
Multi-hit games: Chris Williams (2-for-3, 2 2B, 2 BB), Alex Robles (2-for-3, 2 2B, BB)
Elizabethton could have punched its ticket to the Appalachian League Finals, but they fell just short in a wild game. Kingsport jumped out to a 3-0 lead before the E-Twins even had the chance to bat. E-Town chipped away with runs in the second and fourth inning.
The game-tying run came across thanks to a wild pitch. The catcher's return throw attempting to get Ricky De La Torre got past the pitcher. Lean Marrero tried to score all the way from second base, but the pitcher retrieved the ball, tossed back to the catcher and caught Marrero to end the inning, leaving the game tied 3-3.
And that's how things would remain through nine innings. I was disappointed to see the new extra innings rule in which a runner starts on second base was carried forward to postseason play, and it certainly made an impact in this one.
After combining to score six runs through nine innings, a total of seven runs were scored in the 10th. Kingsport tallied four runs in the top of the 10th, but the E-Twins nearly came back to tie it up again, scoring three runs before recording the first out of the inning.
Elizabethton got the tying run all the way to third base, but couldn't seal the deal. This was such an odd game. The E-Twins managed their six runs on just seven hits (Kingsport had 15), were only credited with four RBIs (the K-Mets committed four errors) and they also racked up 13 strikeouts.
Chris Williams was, of course, a beast. In his five plate appearances, he had two doubles and two walks. After taking over for starter Luis Rijo, Kody Funderburk delivered four scoreless innings before running into all that trouble in the 10th.

Great and timely post. Looks like a beautiful project. Congrats. There is an amazing book on houses in the Engaden that have been refurbished in a modern and very brave way that you should see, very inspiring. Loved the Italia pics too. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving comments.ReplyDelete
So fun to see some of your pieces in context. Loved the photos of your work and the inspiration. A mountain home can pull off the lodgey-inviting-warm living room with fireplace better than any other type of property, IMHO. The stone, wood, metal- just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Wow gorgeous! And that stone fireplace is amazing, as well as the bedrooms!! You are so talented!ReplyDelete
cote est is my favorite magazine so of course when i saw this i was instantly enthralled... i love these images... such a brilliant post. x pamReplyDelete

Thank you so much for your sweet comments, Francine. I always look forward to your posts -- they are special, informative, and unique.
xo, Sarah
This is my favorite style...I mean I love modern, but this is comfort to me :) Sarah, I thought it looked much like Whistler as well!ReplyDelete
Very best Francine,
I really appreciate that you choose not the cliche' cabin design. Your choices were stunning; the mixture of modern, industrial, natural, is what make those rooms remarkable and timeless. My imagination runs wild. Such a terrific post. I only wish I had a home at Big Bear in Montana for you to design. Ohhh..the possibilities.ReplyDelete
I am hoping you and your beautiful family had a memorable holiday and your 2010 is off to a terrific start? I think about your mother and hope she is better with each week that passes.

i just what these pieces can do.
Beautiful. What a great post.ReplyDelete
Francine, this is an incredible post - I was in Colorado over Christmas, at my in-laws mountain retreat, and there is something so beautiful and exquisite about the mountains. I prefer going there in the summer, though - my years in the South has caused a dislike for the cold!ReplyDelete
I had no idea about this blog. I adore your comments on my posts - I learn something from every one (and this last one was a great comment). I am adding you to the blogroll right now!

At home and abroad, the news is full of horror stories about the textile industry. From the toxicity of raw production, to wasted prime farmland for fibres, to horrible working conditions in places like Bangladesh, it's a never ending negative news cycle. Locally, textile end-of-life gets a bad rap, with nasty turf wars and corruption in used clothing collections. Frankly, we are tired of it….and we are not alone.
The good news is, local consumers are starting to ask good questions, demanding straight answers and are understanding that the human cost associated with lower prices at the till are just not worth it.
We are encouraged by the amount of phone calls and emails we receive by everyday people wanting to know more about textile recycling, and how exactly their donations are used to support charities.
Our competitors are getting the same questions, and we believe that the industry is eager to offer straight answers and to improve where possible.
We are currently working with a consultant to bring other industry leaders on board to develop a mechanism that helps us fully record and share the textile end-of-life process with consumers. Integral participants are eager to 'walk the walk' together.
It is true that in Ontario, the used clothing collection sector is rife with unfair competition practices, and is plagued with pirate organizations that divert donations away from real registered charities doing good work.
We believed that municipal regulations would eradicate this scourge, but we found that across the province, a lack of enforcement made the new bylaws practically redundant. We are now calling on Queen's Park to step in.
Our mandate is to set a new standard for the industry, and 2014 will come with an exciting announcement that will do much to make this industry more transparent and accountable. We are proud to be the ones to lead the way in this exciting new provincial development.
Our goal for 2014 is to help Ontario drastically increase its textile waste diversion rate with an assertive growth strategy. We hope to educate Ontario property managers about the community building block potential in charity textile recycling.
We are proud to help manage the textile waste stream of the province, but we can't do it efficiently without the support of property managers across the province willing to host charity bins. We hope that by elevating operating standards in a way that makes it easy for the public to discern between integral operators and pirates, will make property owners feel more confident in hosting a bin. Hosting a bin is a public service to your community. Our goal in 2014 is to make it easy for you to choose an integral company to support.

Mayor Walsh ensures access to early voting in Boston
Early Voting Sites to be available in each City Council district with extended hours.
BOSTON - Friday, April 8, 2016 - With high-turnout expected in Boston for the November 2016 election, Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced that the City of Boston will open nine early voting sites, one in each City Council District with weekend and evening hours, to ensure that all voters have equitable access to the polls this November.
The Early Voting Initiative will make participation more convenient for all, particularly those with work schedules, family obligations or other obstacles to going to the polls. To promote access across the city, the Mayor has committed $670,000 to meet and exceed the state requirement of one early voting site to be open during normal business hours.
"A vibrant democracy is one where every resident has the opportunity to have their voice heard," said Mayor Walsh. "I am pleased that in Massachusetts, we have taken a significant step forward by passing election reforms that allow for early voting. Here in Boston, we are committed to giving all of our residents the opportunity to participate."
In 2014, Massachusetts passed an election reform law allowing for early voting. This year, the Early Voting period will begin on Monday, October 24, 2016 and end on Friday, November 4, 2016. Election Day is Tuesday, November 8, 2016.
The Mayor's Election Advisory Committee and the Boston Redevelopment Authority's Research Department are currently assisting the Election Department in developing a detailed plan that incorporates several early voting proposals for public input and feedback. A plan will be submitted to the Boston Election Commission for approval by summer 2016.

Fury / Seferi Undercard News: Alex Dickinson; Jack Massey; Sam Maxwell
Promising cruiserweight Jack Massey has warned veteran opponent Ian Tims to expect some heavy weather when the two meet on Tyson Fury's undercard on Saturday.
Still just 25, Massey (13-0-5) is rated as one of the division's brightest prospects and steps up at the Manchester Arena to face experienced Irishman Tims (13-5-KO4).
Massey said: "I've knocked out a few sparring partners now through not trying to knock them out, if you know what I mean.
"A lot of people see me as a boxer-puncher but what we've been working on in the gym is not tensing up and looking for the big shot. We'll stay nice and cute.
"I've not come across Tims before. He's from over in Ireland. I've seen a couple of clips of him and he looks like a very tough man, but he's a come-forward fighter and that'll suit me.
"Tims has that experience. I'm just going to go out there and I'm not under any pressure. I'm in the best shape. I was on weight early after a great camp. We're going to box him. If the knockout comes, it comes."

Dickinson learning quickly from spars with Fury
Unbeaten Liverpool heavyweight Alex Dickinson has lifted the lid on his spars with Tyson Fury as he prepares to fight on the lineal world champion's undercard.
Dickinson (5-0-KO3) takes on David Howe at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night and having blasted Lee Carter aside in his previous bout, is improving all the time amid sessions with Fury.
Dickinson said: "I've learned a lot from Tyson. I can't believe how someone that big can do everything he can do. Normally a heavyweight has a strength – box on the inside or stay at range etc – but he can genuinely do everything.
"I've boxed many rounds with him. They were good spars. I felt a bit better by the end of it because I'd learned so much. It was absolutely eye-opening. He gave me a bloody nose but it was a learning experience. He's unbelievable.
"Getting put under pressure by someone that big, that size, trying to keep the range when he's got all that height and keeping your head out of the way is perfect preparation. It was amazing.
"He's a gentleman as well. How people see him on social media and on TV is exactly how he is in real life. There's no act. He's an inspiration with what he's done boxing-wise and how he acts. He treats everyone the same. He doesn't change for the cameras.
"Exercise can make you feel so good about yourself. Tyson has lost that much weight and he's looking good. If you're down in the dumps, there's someone to talk to and exercise is the best form of help you can have.
"There's nothing better. The weight is coming off Tyson and he's licking his lips looking at the world title holders."

TV chance on Fury show 'massive' for Maxwell
Huge-hitting super-lightweight Sam Maxwell can't wait for the bright lights of Tyson Fury's comeback show as he hunts a third straight first-round knockout.
The fast-rising Liverpudlian (7-0-KO6) is hoping to steal the show at Manchester Arena on Saturday night when he faces Kane Baker, who has been stopped just once in 10 fights.
Maxwell said: "Tyson Fury's comeback is massive. He's a massive part of boxing. He's entertaining and he can back it up in the ring. I'm so lucky to be on his show – it's massive for me.
"There are a load of great fights on the show. Flanagan v Hooker is my weight and it's for a world title. I've been training and sparring with Flanagan the last week and I think he's going to do it.
"I'm also looking forward to Troy Williamson and Jack Flatley. Both can fight and they're both good unbeaten prospects. It's good to see two young lads putting their unbeaten records on the line.
"In terms of my own career, I'm getting closer to a title. By the end of 2018 or the very start of 2019 I want to have started winning titles.
"My girlfriend thinks she can just go around asking for titles and she says the English title for Christmas!"

Yes, this post is late. I'd go so far as to say that, by now, this post has lost all significance, yet I cannot get a wink of sleep until I know that this post is out there, in my own little corner of the Internet.
For those of you who don't know what this post is about from the title, read on for what I hope is a helpful guide to one of the greatest British creations I have ever had the pleasure to behold; for those of you who did figure it out, read on to relive each and every moment of the wonder that is Kingsman.
And now you know. This post is about Kingsman: The Secret Service, a movie which hit theatres at the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015. It is one of the funniest and downright entertaining movies I have ever seen. However, first things first, following is the best trailer I could find of said movie, and I'd suggest you watch it before reading further on.
The official trailer of Kingsman: The Secret Service
I shall be moving forward with the assumption that, like me, many people haven't yet seen the movie. What this means for you is that there will be NO SPOILERS in this post, at all. Doesn't that feel good to read? So exactly what is it that I will be talking about, you might ask. Well, there are some things which I loved about this movie more than others, and I noticed that my friends didn't seem to pick up on them, or simply didn't enjoy them as much as I did. The aim of this post is to familiarise you with the elements of this movie which had me impressed beyond compare.
1. Samuel L. Jackson
I had tears in my eyes in every scene involving Samuel L Jackson. Very rarely, if ever, have I laughed as much as I did watching him do his magic on screen. Every single one of his dialogues was exceptionally well written and delivered, providing the perfect contrast to all the "British" in the movie. If there has ever been an antagonist worth falling in love with, it is Valentine, Jackson's character in the movie. Remember to pay special attention to him while watching the movie, because this is one element of the movie you just cannot miss.
2. The British slang
It's very obvious therefore you'll notice it right away, but let me assure you that unless you pay careful attention to what is being said and the precise way that it's being said in, you won't get the best out of it. Of course, it's more fascinating if you're, as myself, less familiar with the slang. Nevertheless, even if you use the slang in your daily conversation, there is something about it being used so crudely in a movie which is otherwise so sophisticated that just makes you want to punch the person sitting next to you in excitement. I suggest you take a close friend with you to the movie.
3. The insane action
Yes, what you see is indeed Colin Firth with a gun, in a church where people are killing each other. The action shown is so bizarre and unnerving that you are compelled to stare at the screen, while desperately wanting to turn away at the same time. The thing which makes the mayhem so much wilder is the way it has been filmed: chaotically. In perhaps the cleverest decision in action that I have ever seen, there are no clever and precise shots, but just a mess of camera and people and lights and weaponry an loads, loads of blood.
4. The suits
Here we have the pleasure of seeing Colin Firth in a dashing pinstripe suit, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. In a movie dedicated to a spy agency, we were bound to see some stunning garments, but little did we expect that we would be presented with wave upon wave of beautiful tailoring (cue amused sighs from those who've seen the movie). Each suit speaks volumes about the kind of financing and costume design which must have gone into this movie. Remember to look closely look at the attire of the Kingsmen in every scene.
4. The spy movie references
I don't mean just the spoken references, and know that there are many. Almost every other scene is a direct or indirect reference to some or the other spy movie or book, sometimes cleverly disguised and at other times openly revealed for viewer amusement. If you're not a great spy-movie fan, then I suggest you get a bit of knowledge about some of the more famous works (yes, I mean James Bond) belonging to the genre, so as to better enjoy the clever puns and dialogues alluding to the same.
4. All the ridiculousness
What you see is, in fact, a person with blades for feet. A friend of mine repeatedly expressed discomfort at the sheer amount of insanity that was involved in the plot of the movie, which, funnily enough, I found to be one of the most entertaining features of the movie. I was overjoyed at the ridiculous turn of events which came about with every scene, not only because it kept me up and interested, but because there is so much joy in seeing something silly being pulled off so skilfully before your very eyes. Indeed, the entire plot of the movie is far-fetched, as mentioned more than once by the characters of the movie themselves. All that means for me is a willingness to provide sheer, unadulterated entertainment to the viewers on the part of the film-makers. Do keep an open mind while watching this movie, it makes everything better.
5. The soundtrack
Exploding head, yes; moving on, you should be used to crazy by now. The reason this picture is here is because the soundtrack used for this particular scene is mind blowing (pun intended). Indeed, the soundtrack of the entire movie is simply jaw dropping. However, more than the music itself, it's the strategic placement of the tracks which had me swayed all along. For every scene of consequence, there is a soundtrack unique to both the rest of the movie and similar scenes in other movies.
6. Samuel L Jackson
He is far too awesome to be mentioned just once.
I may have missed a ton of points, and I deeply apologise for that. These five elements stuck with me the most, for whatever reason, and I just had to express them. If you have any other points which you think should be on this list, please do put them in the comments below. Overall, this is undoubtedly one of the best movies I have ever seen and, try as I might, I cannot get over its sheer brilliance. I hope to soon lay my hands on "The Secret Service", which is the comic book series by Mark Miller and Dave Gibbons which inspired the movie.
I hope you enjoyed the post and that, even if you've watched it before, I've compelled you to watch the movie.
For those of you who have seen the movie and don't mind spoilers, here is a particularly interesting article highlighting the various elements of the movie which I hope you enjoy:
