I wanted to take part in the AEI♥U Challenge when I saw it last week but I had no inspiration to create. I was delighted to find out later that the Lawnscaping Challenge has the same theme - embossing! I was more determined to participate in both! Haha! However, I really had no idea what to create.
Today, as I went about my daily tasks, I forced myself to churn out some ideas at the back of my mind. So this Ellie card is the result. It was pretty fast to create but my creative mental block made it seem like I took forever to make the card.
Hope you like it! :)
Products I used to create this card:
Avery Elle Stamps Ellie
Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables
Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday Border
Kaisercraft Embossing Folder Sentiments
Tsukineko Momento Tuxedo Black

Ellison notices the same unidentified figure appearing in each of the 8mm films, leaving him convinced that all the incidents are linked by a truly bizarre connection.

There is a bug in studio beta 6.2.993, when inside a freshly installed studio it is impossible to start a debug session using the internal debugger, whatever the parametres in project.
Once an AVRISP mkII has been inserted and selected a s tool, it is possible to come back to simulator ( even if the mkII is not present any more) and the debug session can be started.
With the initial installation no debug tools is shown in the tool bar. After mkII insertion and simulator selection, the last one is shown on the tool bar.

Legrand is established in nearly 90 countries
With the adorne collection, you can choose from high-style materials, finishes and colors (including wood and real cast metal) to express your style. And, with a completely reinvented interface, the adorne collection allows you to control the lights in ways you never thought possible. The adorne collection is a line of light switches, dimmers, outlets, charging, wall plates and accessories for the home. The collection also includes an Under-Cabinet Lighting & Power System and Wireless Lighting technology for the home.
adorne products are constructed of a variety of materials ranging from high quality, unbreakable plastics, lush cast metals, natural woods, and even leather.
adorne products represent a new design and functionality as compared to the traditional product offerings . The adorne collection offers a wide array of functionality, styles, and finishes never before available to consumers for these types of products. Traditional product offerings include toggle or decorator light switches and dimmers. The adorne collection offers seven different interfaces for turning your lights on. Learn more about the different options here. Additionally, now you can access dozens of metals, real materials, and pop colors to accompany your light switches with the adorne wall plate collection. No longer are you restricted by white and light almond.
Unlike traditional switches, all of the adorne switches can be wired in either single pole or 3-way applications. This takes the guess work out of deciding which type of switch to buy.
No adorne product is "childproof". All adorne outlets and GFCI outlets feature a tamper-resistant design that has a patented shutter system to prevent a child from inserting small objects into the outlet.
No electrical product should be used around, or exposed to water. GFCI outlets should be used in the "wet areas" of the home like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
adorne products are continually being looked at to be expanded and upgrade to meet the requirements of future technologies.
Most adorne switches, dimmers, and outlets (except the Pop-Out Outlet) fit in a standard wall box. You can find specific device dimensions in the product catalog. Click here to request a free catalog download.
adorne Tru-Universal dimmers will automatically adapt to any load or combination of loads attached to them, including Incandescent/Halogen, Magnetic Low Voltage, Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) in Forward or Reverse Phase, CFL/LED bulbs, etc.
adorne includes CFL and LED-compatible dimmers in Paddle, Whisper, sofTap, and Touch. Each dimmer's product page includes icons denoting which light types it supports. For a full listing of adorne devices and their compatible loads, consult the adorne product catalog. Click here to request a free catalog download.
Dimmers identified as "Tru-Universal" will automatically adapt to any load or combination of loads attached to them, including Incandescent/Halogen, Magnetic Low Voltage, Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) in Forward or Reverse Phase, CFL/LED bulbs, etc. View the adorne sofTap Tru-Universal dimmer here.
No. The Paddle Fan Speed Control can only control fan speed, not lights.
The fan speed control is 4-speed (step) control.
The various adorne switches offer the consumer a choice of functionality. The Paddle switch is a simple up and down motion, like the switch you are probably most familiar with. The Whisper switch design provides a quiet, fluid motion. The sofTap switch, as the name implies, requires only a gentle tap on its surface to turn on or off. The Push switch is activated by a simple push button motion. The SensaSwitch uses passive infrared technology to automatically turn the lights on or off when you enter or leave a room. The Wave switch turns your light on and off by a simple wave of your hand in front of it. The Touch switch, with its translucent face, turns your lights on and off by simply touching it with your finger, just as your smart phone functions. Unlike traditional switches, all of the adorne switches can be wired in either single pole or 3-way applications. This takes the guess work out of deciding which type of switch to buy.
Compatible loads (i.e., lights) are listed on the device product detail pages on this site, as well as in the product catalog. In general, adorne switches work with all lighting types. Click here to request a free catalog download.
Yes. You can combine two 1-Module Paddle Switches (like the one shown here) in a standard adorne 1-Gang Wall Plate.
In addition, you can use a 1-Gang, 3-Module Wall Plate (like the one shown here) to combine up to three of these small Paddle Switches.
You can also use this larger plate to combine an adorne Paddle, Whisper, or Push Switch with a 1-Module Nightlight or a 1-Module USB Outlet. You can also combine these 1-module items with an adorne outlet as desired.
The SensaSwitch can be used for multi-location control. For a 4-way configuration, one SensaSwitch (Master) must be connected to the load and the rest (auxiliary) in the circuit must also be SensaSwitches.
Yes. Blank modules are available in your choice of white or magnesium. Blank modules are sold in a pack of two, which will fill a standard adorne 1-gang wall plate.
The same appliances, devices that you are currently using can be plugged into adorne products. adorne product provide the same functionality as tradition products.
3-module outlets allow more space to plug in larger items such as chargers. These larger outlets must be paired with an adorne 1-Gang, 3-Module wall plate, such as the one shown here.
The Pop-Out Outlet has three outlets with the capacity for three plugs.
No. For GFCI protection, an adorne GFCI outlet must be fed through to the adorne Pop-Out Outlet.
No. At this time, we only offer a 15A version of the adorne Pop-Out Outlet.
The 15A outlet is the most commonly installed outlet in a house. A 20A outlet is only required if it is for a specific appliance known to use over 15 amps of current. To install a 20A outlet the wire needs to be at least a 12 gauge wire or larger, a 15A outlet requires at least a 14 gauge wire or larger. Outlets that are 20A are most commonly found in kitchens, dining areas, laundry rooms, garages, and bathrooms.
A 20A outlet has a T-slot and a 15A outlet does not. See image below.
15A Outlet:
20A Outlet:
No electrical product should be used around, or exposed to water. GFCI outlets should be used in the "wet areas" of the home like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
The Locator Status Light is standard on all adorne switches and dimmers except the Paddle, Whisper, and Push functions. You can order it separately to pair with those devices. Visit our product page here for more information.
The adorne Modular Tracks are available in Titanium and White.
No. However, if you would like to charge a mobile phone or tablet we recommend adding a USB outlet to your system.

Yes. The adorne 12", 18", and 27" tracks come factory-wired with connectors on either end.
No. You can use as many tracks as needed to cover the area under your cabinets.
The Direct Wire Connector enables control of the system's LED lights from a wall switch and eliminates the need for another control box in that run of track. It is also used to continue a circuit when there is a break in a run of cabinet. For more information, view this video.
The 12" and 18" Modular Tracks each include two module spaces. Each module space can connect to one LED light. However, we recommend using one LED light for every 18" of track.
A wall plate, often called a surround, switch plate, or face plate, is the product that surrounds your light switch, dimmer, or outlet. This part is required and you currently have wall plates on whatever devices you have wired in your home.

1-Gang, 2-Module = 5.13" X 3.45"
1-Gang, 3-Module = 5.13" X 3.45"

adorne products, like any electrical wiring device, should only be cleaned using soft damp cloth.
It must be noted that adorne products are not available in Weather Resistant versions, which are required for outdoor applications by the National Electrical Code. Therefore, adorne products are not suitable for use in outdoor applications where Weather Resistant products are required.
adorne multi-location switches and dimmers allow you to control a light from two or more locations without running new wires. Simply replace your existing switch or dimmer with an adorne Wireless Master, then install a new adorne Wireless Remote at another location in the room and connect it to power. Connect the two devices wirelessly with a series of button presses.
adorne Whole-House Lighting products provide the same functionality on a larger scale. They can provide coordinated control of lights throughout the home from installed switches and dimmers, remote controls, or a smart phone.
These two items work together to control one light (or a combination of lights). The Wireless Master is wired to the actual light, and the Wireless Remote is installed at another location and then wirelessly connected to the Master through a series of button presses. The Wireless Remote must be connected to power, and it can be programmed to control multiple Wireless Masters if desired.
The multi-location system supports up to nine devices grouped together.
Yes. Whisper, sofTap, and Touch wireless dimmers identified as "Tru-Universal" will automatically adapt to and control LED lighting loads. You can find them in the Dimmer section of this site, or in the product catalog. Click here to request a free catalog download.

Does that mean that your implementation, upon seeing a response for resource A that contains a Link header that invalidates resource B, will persistently retain the knowledge that changes to A should invalidate B? I'd been assuming that the invalidation of B would be a one-time event: the receiving client or intermediary would invalidate B in its cache and forget about the message thereafter. That's a scalable model (in practice, implementations limit the max total header size they'll allow per message, and that puts an upper bound on the number of invalidations that a single response message can trigger). Retaining the associations persistently is a much harder model to scale. -BrianReceived on Wednesday, 1 June 2011 04:46:47 UTC

Ever heard of "The Joy of Painting"? Or of Bob Ross? If you were born after 1995, you might not have heard of him and we forgive you. If you were born before 1995 and you've never heard of him, you're definitely guilty. You missed out on one of the coolest guys that ever appeared on television.
Bob Ross was an American painter who appeared on TV with the entertaining "The Joy of Painting", from 1983 to 1994. In his half-hour instructional show, Ross would paint something using different brushes and tools while teaching his viewers about his painting techniques.
He would begin with simple strokes of paint that didn't seem to amount to anything. Then he would add more and more strokes and the picture would begin to take shape. He would keep talking with his audience about the "happy little clouds" and "happy little trees" he was drawing. He would also add snippets of life stories in his little painting lessons. These included stories from his previous military career, the time he spent in Alaska, family anecdotes and also stories about the little animals he would raise and set free. It was all a very entertaining experience overall and you would love listening to him.
And today, he is an icon of television and a character that would attract a lot of memes and also Deadpool. Yeah, Deadpool is also a great fan of Bob Ross. Did this get your attention? To get an idea of what kind of public persona Bob Ross was, just take a look at these 21 super hilarious Bob Ross memes that remind us of the legend that Bob Ross was.
Any chance these Bob Ross memes made your day? We sure hope so, don't forget to also check out these 20 Family Feud Memes

It's a common enough occurrence: Jane, who has served on your co-op's board of directors since the Hoover Administration, makes a surprise announcement at the monthly meeting: she's selling her apartment and retiring to Florida. This does not upset you much–Jane is something of a busybody–until you realize that she will have to be replaced.
There is an heir apparent: John, the tax attorney in 7B is elected. He's a good man–equitable, intelligent, and trustworthy. But how will you get him up to speed? What duties can you reasonably expect him to perform? How can he possibly understand the dynamics of a group that's been together so long? Is there a way he can better prepare himself for the task? In times of transition, it's the responsibility of the sitting board members to do all they can to acclimate a new member to the group while keeping the building running smoothly.
Do Your Duty
The responsibilities of board members are broad and varied. The job description often includes overseeing the budget, liaising with the management company, interviewing potential owners and tenants, paying bills, supervising superintendents, and making sure the flowerbeds tended. Given the breadth and depth of their new job, board members should be brought along slowly–not thrown into the deep end of the pool all at once.
"More often than not, new board members are not given 'officers positions'," says Donald Levy, director of management for Lawrence Properties in Manhattan. "They [just] function as board members, so they can get used to the dynamics and see how the relationships between the shareholders and managers work."

- This event has passed.
Women's Ministry Summer Study
June 25, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, repeating until June 26, 2019
Join us this summer for a 5-week video series with Laura Story, entitled: When God Doesn't Fix It: Lessons You Never Wanted to Learn, Truths You Can't Live Without.
Throughout the study we'll see that we can trust and lean into God's goodness and faithfulness even in the midst of our lives taking unexpected turns. In addition, we'll examine the brokenness of some of the heroes of the faith, learning the ways God used them for extraordinary ways despite their flaws and flawed stories. Most importantly, we'll see it was not because of their faith, but because of the faithfulness of God that propelled them.
WHEN: Tuesday Evenings at 7:00pm from May 28th – June 25th
WHERE: Chesterfield Presbyterian Church (in the sanctuary)
COST: Free

Colbert's coin trick: how it's done
I'm a sucker for close-up magic. It automatically turns me into a wide-eyed 5 year-old. (Funny enough, Stephen Colbert tends to have the same effect.)
On Thursday night's Colbert Report, Stephen demonstrated a "problem" he's had his entire life. He always puts one coin in his hand. And then another. He'll close his fist, and when he reopens it, there's only one coin. What's the deal with that, he asks guest David Copperfield.
|The Colbert Report
|Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
|David Copperfield
Two coins become one. Casual magic fans would skip their PVRs back a bit to try to catch what Colbert actually did with that extra coin. Did he do a quick transfer into his unoccupied hand? Nope, we saw the coins in plain view, untouched. Did he drop it through his fingers? Nay, they were tightly pressed together.
What Colbert used was called "Scotch and Soda", special coins purchased from a magic dealer. In most examples, the coins are two different colours and sizes, but they do exist in the form that Colbert used — nearly identical sizes, same colour.
The key is "nearly" identical sizes. The smaller coin is placed on the bottom, in his palm. The slightly larger coin is placed overlapping. The larger coin has a hollow bottom, so when he makes a fist, there's enough of a shift in the coins that the bottom one fits perfectly into the top one. Ta-daa: two coins become one.
Scotch and Soda apparently comes in both a regular version and a magnetic version. I believe the non-magnetic version takes a bit of pressure in order to fit together, so this was likely magnetic.
As much as I'd love to imagine that we've stumbled upon a goldmine (er, sterling mine?) of Colbert talents that have previously gone unshowcased, Scotch and Soda is considered incredibly easy.
Here's an example of a similar trick being done on Youtube.
(And to all the magic secrecy purists out there: everything here is available elsewhere online.)
26 Responses to Colbert's coin trick: how it's done
thank you. I was trying so hard to figure out what he did. I will sleep much better tonight thanks to your explanation.
I don't understand why you felt the need to tell all that.
Thousands of people did not come here looking to see how maqgic tricks worked. If they did, they should have been left in suspence. Since you are interested in comedy perhaps you might have understand how upset and angry comics get when their material is stolen and the punchlines are out before they get to tell them. As for Youtube, just because others do it, it does not make it right and it is a pretty lame excuse for you to use. You of all people should understand this.
When I said I did not understand why you felt the need to tell all that, I was actually getting at something else anyhow. Its not you that you wanted to ruin the magic illusion but more that you wanted to ruin specifically,Colbert's magic illusion. That is not really very nice and that is what I don't understand.
I have not seen Colbert and his trick, it's not available where I live. I did not come here to to find out about it. I came here as I always do to see what you're up to and to read what you have to say. Normally I like it, but this page is shabby. No ammount of justification on your part, is in my mind, going to alter that. You have reduced your self to the level of the typical dumb ase, American kid with a new trick and a camcorder.
To all the people that came here to see how Colbert did his trick, get a life.
I guess I'm one of the people Barrt Daft is telling to "get a life". I just watched last Thursday's Colbert Report online. I re-watched the little magic trick a handful of times but couldn't figure it out, so I googled for how it was done. Colbert's not a magician, so I figured it'd probably be amateur and easy to learn how he did it. But it was so slick, and I was super curious. This website was the first hit in google, and it gave a clear and concise summary of exactly what I was looking for, saving me the half hour I might have spent putzing around google and youtube to learn this. Thanks Sharilyn Johnson! I wouldn't have written here at all, but after reading the argument here in the comments, I felt it necessary to add my two cents (which may, now, magically morph into one!).
@Barrt Daft:
The desire to know how a trick is done is fundamental to magic's appeal. If a trick doesn't make the audience wonder how it was done, it's a failed trick. You can hardly blame people for following up on that impulse, especially since that curiosity and discovery aren't capable of diminishing the skill and ingenuity of the magician (the contrary is more often true).
Of course, there are people like you who would prefer for tricks to remain mysterious. That's an equally valid way of appreciating magic – but if you know you're one of those people, then you should also know to avoid reading a blog post called "Colbert's Coin Trick: How It's Done."
You'd have a better point to make, by the way, if this was a proprietary trick that was exposed without the author's permission – but it's not. It's a common trick that can be purchased at any magic shop in the world. This isn't akin to stealing a comedian's material; it's akin to reading an old joke out of a library book.
I agree with the analogy of an old joke out of a library book. I also realize I will have no luck trying to convince lay persons that they do not need to know how a magic trick works. But while you might have just come here to learn how a magic trick works, I know a great deal more about Sharilyn. I have read what she has to say, for a few years now and I thouht this post was a pretty cheap shot and she is capable of better.
Barrt, yes, you're daft. Go back to playing World of Warcraft, where you might actually be able to protect a magician and all of his secrets. Thank you, Sharilyn!
I think Barrt is getting way too hyper and needs a nap.
Never been to this site before, but seeing Barrt's ridiculous stance has incited me to respond. Maybe he's trolling all of us, but I'm sure someone else out there is just as retarded and serious about it.
I love how Barrt calls us all "lay people" for wanting to know how a trick is done. If people weren't curious and wanted to find out how something worked, then we would not nearly be as technologically and scientifically advanced or knowledgeable as we are now. The desire to satisfy our natural-borne curiosity is what I would argue is the foundation of our intelligence–our one key trait that we hold in high regard when compared to other life forms on this earth.
Barrt is clearly suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. If you don't know what that is, I would say google it, but you'd probably rather prefer to keep it a mystery and remain as ignorant as ever, rofl.
It was a typo, my name is Barry Daft.
My point is Sharilyn appears to me to be exposing the magic trick, not so much to satisfy hers and yours curiosity but in order to deminish Colberts achievment. It is an unattractive trait I see occaisionally amongst some of the less well brought up children and chavs I might be performing for.
wow. that was totally amazing. scotch and soda. one of the oldest coin tricks in the business. and you are exposing it…why? oh, dont worry magic purists..the imfo is already available? that is so lame. the imfo on how to blow up a building is also probably available, so will you be directing everyone over there too? exposing magic secrets makes you nothing more than a crummy fox masked magician…only less in your case.
Can't wait to see the review of Peter Pan where we get a close-up look at the wires. Now that would be journalism in the best sense. Indeed, it may even be possible to find a youtube video that shows us how to do it – and it could be linked to this site. Some really crushing journalism would be an exposé of Spider-Man! As a follow-up piece we could have an in-depth report on those special effects that Hollywood's been using to hoodwink us over the years. People would search the Web to find "the truth" that the Dark Star was really a model! (Oh, sorry, I wasn't supposed to reveal that.) Got to love good journalism. Gets at the truthiness.
what? math homework? 8 year old? what? confidence in my abilities? what? you crazy.
i constructed the perfect argument for you. and i are a journalist too.
here is the simple version for snotty journalists.
some people make their livings performing old standards in magic, yes, and that may be of some concern to them that some dink is ruining their art. and…duh!!!…when you see how a magic trick is performed, it takes all the fun out of it. so going..hey look, i'm cool, i know how it's done, i'm going to show everybody on my big jounalistic site, and everyone will think i'm the bomb. but it's not cool, you are ruining for everyone.
get it?
haha. gene, didn't see you there. magicians are coming. be scared, be very, very scared.
"when you see how a magic trick is performed, it takes all the fun out of it."
Just listen to that crowd boo. I'm amazed that Teller got out with his scalp intact.
With the hindsight of three months added to the discussion, David Copperfield is still making about $100M a year with his magic, coolotis is still manufacturing the best magic products for the trade, and Sharilyn Johnson, self-proclaimed comedy and magic expert, is still relegated to the dustbin of the internet where she pretends to analyze comedy and magic because she can do neither.

Naked Palette 1 Look
Number 1
Hello there! Happy Weekend to you all!
Here I have a pretty basic Naked Palette look. You can't go wrong with this! I was using Sin, Buck , Dark Horse and a little bit of Creep on outer edge.
It is very wearable for day look and if you add more "creep", it will turn into lovely smokey eye look. Somehow my previous statement doesn't sound right. "add more creep"…..
Have a great weekend!

Tunnel Park repairs complete after summer fire
PARK TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- Repairs are now complete at an Ottawa County park that was damaged by fire over the summer.
Last week, crews replaced the wooden staircase at Tunnel Park, which went up in flames on July 3. Investigators consider the fire to be suspicious in nature.
The $54,000 project also paid to upgrade the observation deck, which was not damaged in the fire. Park officials say it made sense to fix the deck and the stairs at the same time.
Investigators found fireworks at the scene, but they have not determined an official cause for the fire.

Ironman 70.3 Gulf Coast Receives B+
Our very own super star President, John Cameron, competed in the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Gulf Coast on 13 May. You may be thinking that this race is not new and you would be partially right. This very race used to be the Gulf Coast race that offered a sprint distance and a 70.3 distant. This year, 2017, the outstanding franchise which we know and love, Ironman, took over this outstanding rave venue. The race takes place in the crystal waters of Panama City, Florida and is the sibling of the big daddy, Florida Ironman that is held in November and sells out quickly every year. So, it made sense that Ironman would take over the 70.3 distant race as well. This race, although a first under the Ironman umbrella, has been established which means smooth sailing and great support throughout the race. The course was well marked and easy to follow. There were ample aid stations positioned at every mile of the run which further increases the positive points for this race.
Our seasoned CTC member, John, has the perfect recap of each section of this growing race. So, with the help of John, lets break down each aspect of the Ironman 70.3 Gulf Coast race.
The lodging had great options that were not far from the race which always makes it nice especially after a grueling long race. I mean who wants to walk 5 miles to your car when you just busted out 70.3 miles!? John chose to rent a VRBO unit at the host location. There are also a slew of hotels along the strip within walking distance to the transition.
The transition was on the parking lot of the host hotel. Talk about convenient! The swim was an out and back rectangle rather than along the shoreline. This allowed the athletes to get past the break into clean water. If you get to the venue days early you can practice because they set up the buoys on Thursday. With all of that said, John and the other triathletes never got to try out the swim on race day because the swim was cancelled due to the immense currents. The swim would have been self seeded based on anticipated finish time. There would have been signage posted with times and the triathlete would merely file in according to when they projected they would finish. Maybe next year the weather will behave and they can do this.
The bike began with a rolling start since the swim was cancelled. The course starts with an interesting start over a bridge single file. Once you get to the other side of the hill you have to brake swiftly and make a turn. This requires skill and awareness on the part of the triathlete for sure. In order to do that you have to manage speed and then make your way through a hotel parking lot before being able to get up to speed. Not the best start and something that should hopefully be relooked at and changed for next year. It is also an open course but no real issue with cars. Other than that, the bike is an out and back course. There was a good tail wind on the way out and a good headwind on way back. You'll climb the big bridge 2x. It's a good climb but that's pretty much it for elevation. Roads are good for the most part – some bumps and debris on the main beach road which is typical for beach roadways. Entrance into T2 was good but you have to pay attention to other athletes at dismount which is typical for a big race. John gives extra credit to the race director who made a course correction to the bike course so they could avoid graded roads. He shifted the triathletes to a new section that was new pavement and smooth. The race director even asked for the racers' opinion before making the change (during our shake out ride on Friday).
The run is similar to the bike course in that you proceed over the bridge and through the parking lot to get out on the main loop. You will have to complete 3 loops but on the plus side it is flat. There is no shade so be mindful and bring your sunscreen. The 3 loop course can mess with the triathlete's mind a little bit seeing the same thing over and over again but it is a great way for the family members to see their triathlete multiple times and cheer them on. The aid stations are well stocked with ice, fruit, gels, Gatorade and water. It is quite hot out there so you better hydrate well ahead of this race as you will not catch up on the day before the race. It's HOT! There is great fan support all over the course. The finish is back over the bridge into the start. It's a tad winding at the end so be careful.
Overall John gives this race a B+ rating mostly because of the bike out. John believes that they should correct this somehow to where you don't have to climb a pedestrian walkway and have to make an abrupt turn at the bottom of the hill. Also, it is vacation/beach accommodations, so if you have to be on the cheaper end, you may look into getting a well used room if you know what I mean. John's condo through VRBO was awesome and more affordable than the host hotel (split 3 ways). Book your rooms 6 months out to get best availability.

How to Tailgate in Style!
See how we tailgate in our respective regions. While the styles may vary, the love for the game remains the common bond.
PAC 12 versus SEC Tailgating...Rustic Refinement!
Tailgating is a part of the fabric of American football and each region has its own unique traditions and flavors! Whether with a microbrew from the Northwest or a mint julep from the South...we all love to cheer on our favorite teams!
West Coast Tailgating
Just because fans of PAC 12 teams might seem more casual doesn't mean we don't take our tailgating just as seriously. A simple yet elegant approach will leave you plenty of time for doing what you do best...cheering your favorite team onto victory.
Score a Touchdown With This Simple Tailgating Arrangement
Large flowering plants like these mums provide the perfect backdrop and a table filled with goodies is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Kick Off the Game, Show Your Team Spirit
Using pre-made burlap pennants, stencil the name of your favorite team or if you are rooting for multiple teams simply spell out the words, "Go Team" and use it again and again. Hang from the rear door or across the front of your table.
Slide Into the End Zone With Customized Glasses
Express your allegiance(s) by dressing up plain glasses with removable chalkboard labels. Here you see clearly a loyalty to PAC 12 teams.
Tackle Your Thirst
When games go long, keep your spirits up with hot coffee or mulled "Sack 'em" cider. Use your outdoor stove or grill to warm them up and go the distance by using glass mugs instead of paper cups.
You Won't Fumble With These Finger Foods!
Simple snacks like proscuitto-wrapped bread sticks, caramel corn and a build your own sandwich station make dining easy so that you can focus on rooting for your team.
Tailigating in the South
Southerners take their tailgating as seriously as their football! A mix of elegance, sophistication and tradition, at Southern SEC tailgates you'll find vintage family silver and bow ties rubbing elbows with BBQ and beer.
Serving up in Style!
With a nod to the regions of the SEC, serve up good Gulf shrimp or some Southern sliders featuring BBQ pulled pork on buttermilk biscuits. Wash it all down with a good regional beer from an independent brewery or a mint julep.
Classy Cutlery
Paper napkins and plastic cutlery take on an air of elegance, and are easy to grab, when placed in craft paper bags, stamped with a fun quote.
Southern Snacks
Placed in paper sacks for easy snacking; pretzels, peanuts and okra chips make for great Southern tailgating munchies!
Wrap it Up
For those crisp, cool fall football evenings keep your tailgating buddies warm by providing a basket full of blankets in their favorite team colors.
Pennant Pride
Cheer on your favorite teams with this colorful, spirited pennant. Easy to create using a pennant template and collegiate scrapbook paper, you'll be showing your true colors in style. In true sophisticated form, be sure to have a bottle of champagne chilling to toast your team's win!

Ridin' the Storm Out!
Batten down the hatches! After Hurricane Irene battered the East Coast recently, I got to thinkin' about storms and being prepared to deal with them. Most parts of the country are prone to getting some kinds of bad weather. Along the coasts it's hurricanes and tropical storms. In the Midwest we sometimes get tornadoes and dust storms. Thunderstorms, lightening strikes and severe winds can hit just about anywhere. Here are some safety tips for getting yourself ready and safe for a storm.
Parents should always stay calm. Show your kids that storms are natural and nothing to get spooked about. Let them see that you've got the situation under control.
Get a special "Safe Room" ready to retreat in your home should a thunderstorm or tornado be announced. An area of the basement is best, if you have one. Make sure it's big enough for your best horse friend, if you have one. Stock your Safe Room with batteries and a battery-operated radio, flashlights, and maybe a lantern and a small table with some books. You can ride out the bad weather by doing homework or reading or even playing cards.
Let your kiddos know they're safe, as you monitor the weather situation. A cell phone can connect you to other family members so you can make sure they're safe too.
Remember: storms can be very serious and dangerous. Listen to parents or other adults in times of bad weather and take shelter away from windows.
Talk to your parents about setting up a Safe Room to have ready in case of storms. Clean up an area, gather some batteries, flashlights, a small table and some books or games and set up your own Safe Room for your family. You'll be able to keep busy as you ride the storm out!
Check out this cool website to learn more about storms and emergency preparedness! www.ready.gov

Eat Healthy. Feel Healthy. Be Healthy!
You know, down here at the Long Horn Diner in Happy, Texas, we have a lot to choose from on our breakfast menu. Some of the food is super healthy and good for you. Some of it tastes mighty delicious but isn't exactly the best thing for your body. I like to tell my customers, "Too little of this and too much of that, can make you feel funky and flunky and flat!" Just remember, breakfast shouldn't always be fattening and unhealthy things like donuts and sugary cereal and pastries. Try some fruit! Any fruit goes well with breakfast! Whole wheat toast, milk, juice, eggs and cheese are healthy, tasty choices. And don't forget that a good breakfast gives you the energy you need to get your giddyup going so you can make it through school or work or a day on the ball field!
"Too little of this and too much of that, can make you feel funky and flunky and flat!"
Hmmm. I should put that to music and write a song! Where's my guitar?
Have a picnic in your own backyard this weekend. While the weather's still nice and warm, pack up a basket of your favorite healthy lunch foods and spread out a blanket on the grass. Invite your friends or your brothers and sisters. Try a healthy new food you've never tried before and ask your friends what their favorites are. Eat up and enjoy the great outdoors!

How To Force Turn Off Your Nokia N8 When It Hangs Up and Avoid Hard Resetting
There were people asking me about how to reflash their Nokia N8 but it seems it's a very tricky stuff to make unless you hand it to your nearest Nokia Care Centre or if you are an experienced software programmer.
But let me share some related other issue about hangs in your Nokia N8. Because for new users they will be baffled on how to turn off or reset their phone. Plus the battery method (removing battery in order to power off your phone when it get stuck or hang) will not work on this one as the battery is not user replaceable.
*If your phone get stuck or hangs, do these:
- Press and hold Power Button for 8 seconds until it turns off
- Press Power Button to Power Up. Done!
*If your phone experiences some faulty software issues (like messaging, calls notifications errors) Not a big issue, do this:
- Restore Factory Settings by going to Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Settings
*Remember to back-up and sync in weekly or monthly basis as this will help in restoring your most recent restore points
* = Applicable to Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia E7
Why hard resetting is not recommended?
Hard Resetting is not recommended because the current software of Nokia N8 (and Nokia C7, C6-01, E7) seems to be stable and there are no big issues on it. And hard resetting will just cause of some removal of applications such as Ovi Store, Widgets and Ovi Maps. Yes, there are few small glitches but the above procedures will solve it.
What's the other resort aside from hard resetting?
If you experience many software and hardware problems in your Nokia devices, always visit the Nokia Care Centre and don't experiment with yourself.
But How To Hard Reset?
If you are an experienced user from reflashing and resetting and you badly needed to hard reset then these are the steps:
- Sync and back-up content – your contacts, photos, music, calendars to Ovi Suite and memory card
- Turn off the phone
- Simultaneously press and hold volume down + camera key + menu key and power button until your phone shakes (3 inputs + power)

More than 3,800 companies recently converged in Las Vegas for the 2017 annual Consumer Electronic Show. For 50 years, CES has been the place where the electronics Industry unveils its latest gadgets. Although this year's trends leaned toward smart homes, smart cars, and robotics, there was definitely a strong camera presence at the show. The bulk of the latest in camera gadgets were of the Drone and Spherical video class. Among the highlights were The DJI Mavik and Phantom 4 Pro. Go Pro while re-releasing their Drone "Karma" , also revealed they would be making a big announcement later this year. But in my opinion the coolest new tech item was a 8K 360 camera called the "Insta360 Pro.
Other cool new tech toys include
- The Polaroid Pop: A digital camera with a printer built in
- The Kodak PixPro Orbit 360: A cube camera with a dome lens on both sides. It also will shoot in 360 at 4K with 20 mega pixels.
- The Kingston Ultimate GT. Kingston made one of bigger splashes by announcing the release of the world's largest USB flash drives. It comes in 1 and 2TB, that's correct Terabytes.
- The Samsung Smart Refrigerator; The things this fridge can do is simply amazing.

The Women's Congress for Future Generations has created living drafts of the Declaration of the Rights Held by Future Generations and the Bill of Responsibilities for Present Generations.
These were first drafted by those who attended the Congress for the Rights of First Generations in Moab, Utah in the fall of 2012. This was a gathering inspired by a long line of community leaders and visionaries, especially women, who have worked on behalf of Future Generations. Those who attended the Moab Congress felt their voices represented only a fraction of the world's women and of the diverse communities of Future Generations to come. Not wanting to speak on behalf of those whose voices were not represented, they conceived of these as working documents to be amended in perpetuity. These drafts will continue to live, breathe, and evolve as an ever-widening circle add their voices to these statements and pass down these rights and responsibilities from generation to generation.
All are invited to join in this effort. We seek your wisdom. We invite you to draft what might be absent from current iterations of this document, to add to it rights, responsibilities and principles that reflect your experiences; to challenge and push back; to add nuance; and, to delight in the places where you feel resonance with what others have contributed. Even more, we hope that we find ways of translating these working ideas into concrete action. To make suggestions, changes, and additions to the draft, please visit the Women's Congress blog and leave a comment, or better yet, attend a meeting March 28th at Acorn Wellness Center.
7-9 pm on Friday, March 21st, 2014. Donations accepted.
Acorn Wellness Center
2929 Summit St, Ste 103
Oakland, CA 94609
The discussion will be co-facilitated by:
Samsarah Morgan, Interfaith Minister and Counselor, Apprentice Midwife, Family Life Coach, Doula, Hypnotherapist, and founder of Nia Center for Birth and Family Life.
Molly Arthur, Director of EcoBirth – Women for Earth and Birth. Uniting the earth and birth movements for the well-being of our world.

In 1987 the Z. Cavaricci Cateye pant made its debut, and within just a few months gained an extraordinary following. It soon became the most sought-after pant of the decade.
The Cateye became popular due to its high waist, pleated and tapered bottom, creating a unique silhouette that offered something fresh and new, pushing the boundaries of fashion.
The hip New York and Los Angeles club crowd were the first to adopt the look, and as the trend grew, it appeared on streets and dance-floors as a 'must-have' beacon of aspirational style. Pop stars followed suit, coveting the style in music videos and magazine shoots, resulting in it becoming one of the hottest trends of the 80's and early 90's.
By 1988, the pant was selling wildly across the U.S., with retailers struggling to keep up with demand as style-savvy men and women embraced the look. It was expensive but "That little white tab on the front of the fly meant you were hip" Complex Magazine
The Cateye now sits amongst a tiny elite group of fashion garments that can genuinely be described as 'iconic'.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year – the Z. Cavaricci Cateye pant is back after a three-decade hiatus. The return is timely, with the Z look being ubiquitous on fashion week runways across the world.

As some of you already know, I love hockey. I love it on TV and more so in person. As long as I can see the whole sheet of ice to watch plays develop and other shenanigans that occur out of the camera's watchful eye. But being at a game surrounded by these Nashvillian fans makes watching the game in person very interesting.
I went to Game 2 in the Stanley Cup Western Quarterfinals. Nashville Predators vs. San Jose Sharks. It was a great game to watch. The Preds won 5-2, by the way. Rivalries almost always develop during a series and this is no different. After events of Game 1 I expected this game to be a chippy and penalty riddled one. And it was.
The fans really went after the referees. Which seems to be common among sports. So, I was wondering if the fans (at least hockey fans) hate the ref's calls because of the heat of the moment (which I tend to fall under when I don't like a call)? Or are they just ignorant of the rules and how a referee makes calls?
It kind of irks me when I see a play develop and one player is really making a play for the puck and in the process trips his opponent and then the fans jump all over the ref. Sure, it sucks that it happened but it was a play on the puck not on the opponent's feet. The refs have a hard enough job as it is and if he makes a mistake more than likely there will be a 'make-up' call. It happens. We move on. Unless a call shifts the momentum and outcome of the game. But I don't think that happens very much in hockey in my very humble opinion.
The fights were a big deal, too. The paper here wrote a bunch about the number of penalty minutes and blah, blah, blah. The game ended with 3 pairs of players duking it out (which, as a Predators fan I'm sad to say, we lost those fights). What a better way to keep the momentum way up for the road trip! The Sharks wanted to make a statement by saying, "We may have lost but we can still kick your ass!" And the Preds may have been saying, "We won this game and we will take it to your house and kick your ass!" Hey, it's the playoffs! And it's hockey! That the way they roll (as the kids are want to say nowadays).
Another thing about the fans here (and probably anywhere there is a gimmick like this) chanted, "WE WANT TACOS! WE WANT TACOS!" WTF?!?! I was informed by my arena neighbor that everytime the Preds score 5 goals in a game you can take your ticket to Taco Bell to get a free taco. They may want tacos but I wanted the Preds to win more than I want a free Taco Bell taco. When I said this out loud my kind neighbor said "It's 4-1 we got this." Need I remind you that it was only the 2nd period and in Game 1 the Preds came from behind to tie it up ultimately losing in double OT. This is hockey! Anything can happen and when it does it happens quickly! Plus, Taco Bell tacos are pretty crappy.
**If my buddy Jeff reads this I kindly ask him to make comments on the game of hockey in my comments section. I always look to him for a different perspective on the game. Not only is he Canadien but he also used to referee in the Junior League (I believe). So, Jeff write something insightful or referee-like in the comments! Anybody else for that matter, too. What do you think?**
