Parade Float Character Design, Lettering and Signs
Float builders are usually volunteers, and while many have a variety of different artistic abilities, creating large 3D carved characters, columns, signs, or organic elements is not an area they feel comfortable with. We have worked with float builders for years, and we can assist with a broad range of float building services, from creating and carving the 3D elements, or cutting out your foam letters. We use the latest technology, including 3D scanning, and 3D CNC carving to build your 3D character or object in foam. We can design and create your 3D model in any size!
We can also provide you with all the lettering that is needed for your float. We use Gator Foam to create tough, crisp letters that look fantastic on your parade float. Our lettering service is guaranteed to be cheaper than anyone else out there!
We can carve your 3D object out of any density of foam required by your project. We usually use bead foam or EPS foam in varying densities to achieve the look you want. We can carve out the form with a rough cut, which is most economical. You can then sand and do the finish carving yourself. We have a variety of hard coating options, from epoxies, urethanes, or just cheap "magic muds" which will get the job done on a tight budget.

30 years ago today - 11 Mar 1982 - I started a whole new life.
That was the day I reported in to Recruit Training Command, NTC Great Lakes IL, to begin boot camp: Six weeks of non-fun that would transform me from a civilian into a sailor.
A little over 21 1/2 years later, I transferred to the Fleet Reserve, and in just a few short weeks I will officially retire.
Somehow it just doesn't seem possible that 30 years have gone by already. Some of that time was fun (Scotland, Gibraltar, Slovenia); some wasn't ("Vulcan death watch" drill sets, being racked out for training, weeks at sea after 9/11 wondering when we would get to go home). All in all, I'm a lot older now, and I hope a little wiser.
And yes, I'd do it again.

Each year, millions of people across America look forward to receiving their tax refunds. After spending months paying into various areas through paycheck withholdings, consumers are granted a bit of stimulus money in the form of a sizable check. While you might have all kinds of ideas about what you want to spend your own refund on, it can also be a good idea to take a more practical route when it comes to making your ultimate decision. With the summer coming, now could be the time to grab a new air conditioner.
Without an AC unit to keep your house nice and cool, you could easily be looking at a season filled with hot weather and a ton of discomfort. Remedy this by taking a moment to think about why spending part of your refund on a new air conditioner is the right move for a more enjoyable summer.
Cool and Collected
The weather can impact people in weird ways. When the temperature begins to go up and the nights are as humid as the days, it can make most people irritable. This is due to the fact that heat can make the body sweat and feel sticky or dirty. Even coming fresh out of the shower can be ruined by stepping into a muggy and hot home. Though it can be a pain to deal with the thick of the summer, you do not have to go through the season in a state of discomfort if you buy an AC.
By making the decision to spend your refund on a new AC, you are giving yourself the chance to feel great this coming season. Instead of having a short fuse with other members of your household due to the increased heat, you all will be able to kick back and relax in a more comfortable environment. Take time now to look over the different models available to you and see which choice will be the most practical for your home. If your refund can cover the costs, you will be ready for a more comfortable summer.
Increase Productivity
Outside of feeling disgusting from the heat, you also might find yourself in a sleepier state of mind than you would prefer. When temperatures rise, it can lead to feelings of exhaustion. Instead of getting home from work and taking advantage of your day, you will feel more likely to fall asleep when the heat is too much. This can ruin your odds of being productive and slow your schedule to a halt. Luckily, you can easily remedy this problem.
By investing in the right air conditioner, you can make your home the perfect temperature for getting stuff done. Returning home from work to a cool and inviting space can help you to feel refreshed about the rest of your day. All you need to do is take a little bit of time to research which model would fit best in your home and see how you can use your refund to fund the endeavor.
A Sensible Choice
Finally, having a working AC in your home is just a sensible choice. When you have guests over, you don't want them to feel hot or bothered in your space. By making the decision to invest in a brand new air conditioner for your home, you are going to be able to provide a far more welcoming atmosphere to the people who come into your space for a visit.
Spending part of your tax refund on an AC could easily be the best decision for your future. Having a cool and comfortable home is incredibly important in life, so it can be helpful to replace a unit that is no longer functional. Take time to research your options and see what model fits your needs and your budget best.

Child Protection
- font size decrease font size increase font size
The UK is fast attracting a poor reputation as one of only two countries in the western world where forced adoption is a cornerstone of child protection policy. The removal of a child from its parents against their wishes is one of the most dire events that can happen to anyone, yet forced adoption is rapidly becoming the norm. Once a forced adoption has taken place, there is no recourse for the parents. They are gone forever with no contact being allowed.
Of course, there are genuine instances where there is no alternative but British Independents believes that forced adoption should be the very last alternative and that proceedings must be subject to proper scrutiny instead of being hidden behind an overly secretive legal process.
Ministers will point out that forced adoption is just one facet of a child protection regime that is considered to be robust and focused on the needs of children. However, the evidence points to the contrary. Government targets for adoption are incentivising local authorities to maintain a consistent supply of easy to adopt children. Often the private sector, including US venture capitalists, drives the ramp up in local authority interventions for profit. Supported by the secrecy of the family justice system, local authorities have a blank cheque for legal fees compared to families who are often left defenceless, without legal aid or representation.
Whilst government and its media outlets currently trumpet an upsurge in adoption statistics, what they don't tell you is that adoptions have increased spectacularly for babies and young children but the rate for older, 'hard to place' children, whom the targets were supposed to assist, has fallen through the floor. The UK may have a robust child protection system but it's the only one in the world from which parents are fleeing the country in their hundreds.
British Independents will remove the target culture, open up the family justice system to public scrutiny, and prosecute professionals who abuse their authority. The existing criminal offence of misconduct in public office will be strengthened to include anyone who knowingly causes or allows a child to suffer harm, even when another agency is involved. A new regulatory framework will deliver a coherent, cross-agency capability to hold all public officials properly to account.
FOOTNOTE: Our party leader, David Gale, is the voluntary CEO of KidsForCashUK.org and has been involved in exposing corruption, malpractice and collusion within local authority children's services, the police, and the courts. He continues to be at the forefront of the drive to expose paedophiles and, working with victims, was recently successful in his public call to Leicestershire's Police and Crime Commissioner for a review of historic sex abuse cases. As such, it may be construed that he has an personal interest in this policy, and you'd be right. So here is that interest declared.

Landslide reportedly buries 9 people in China's Central Hubei province
Nine people from five households have been buried after a landslide hit a village in the Huangmei county in China's central Hubei province on Wednesday, APA reports quoting official China Central Television.
According to the CCTV, the landslide hit the village in the early hours on Wednesday after continued heavy rainfalls and local rescue teams were able to relocate about 40 other villagers to safe areas in time.
Rescuers continued their efforts to reach those buried in the landslide, the CCTV said.
The local police department said on its official Weibo account that the heavy rainfall also flooded a local school and prevented about 500 students from taking the important annual college entrance exams, which were expected to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Additionally, the state-owned People's Daily reported that seven people went missing and another six were trapped after a landslide hit a village in Guizhou province on Wednesday.

Appraisal Reviews by D&D Appraisals, LLC.
As stated in an announcement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions are required to have effective, unbiased real estate appraisal and evaluation plans," and that appraisers performing reviews must "have the knowledge and skills to evaluate compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal rules and guidelines."

If you have questions in reference to an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, contact D&D Appraisals, LLC. today.
Appraisal reviews "must find out whether the appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the manners by which the collateral valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality," according to the Federal Reserve. They "should also denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the outlook of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve says that "some banks add periodic reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a number of their higher-risk or larger-value contracts as a control to aid in revealing valuation disputes."
In addition to adapting our work to the practices and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are primarily used for review services, and we can produce an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form.

The church of Santa Engrácia in Lisbon, which took about 300 years to complete, is now the National Pantheon. It was designed as a massive Baroque centralized plan, and what we see above was actually finished almost 300 years later in 1966. In the meantime, the ultra-morose building process (even for Portugal!) gave birth to a popular expression: obras de Santa Engrácia, or works of Santa Engrácia, used to refer to anything which takes forever to be completed. But completed it was, and the dome stands beautifully stark in its red and cream scalloped composition.

Penalty for pharmacist's refusal upheld
By ROBERT IMRIE, Associated Press Writer
WAUSAU, Wis. - A state appeals court upheld sanctions Tuesday against a pharmacist who refused to dispense birth control pills to a woman and wouldn't transfer her prescription elsewhere.
The 3rd District Court of Appeals ruled that the punishment the state Pharmacy Examining Board handed down against pharmacist Neil Noesen did not violate his state constitutional rights, specifically his "right of conscience" to religiously oppose birth control.
"Noesen abandoned even the steps necessary to perform in a minimally competent manner under any standard of care," the three-judge panel said. The decision upheld a ruling by Barron County Circuit Judge James Babler.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin praised the ruling as important for women's access to reproductive health care. Several states have been wrestling with the issue of pharmacists who refuse on religious grounds to dispense birth control or "morning-after" pills.
Noessen's attorney Paul Linton said that he was disappointed but that no decision had been made on whether to appeal.
The ruling "can curtail the religious rights of pharmacists and perhaps other health care professionals," Linton said.
According to court records, Noesen was working as a substitute pharmacist at a Menomonie Kmart in 2002 when a University of Wisconsin-Stout student sought to refill her birth control prescription.
Noesen testified he advised the woman of his objection to the use of contraception and refused to fill the prescription or tell her how or where she could get it refilled.
The woman was able to get the prescription filled two days later but missed the first dose of the medication, court records said. She filed a complaint with the state Department of Regulation and Licensing.
Noesen, 34, of St. Paul, Minn., told regulators that he is a devout Roman Catholic and refused to refill the prescription or release it to another pharmacy because he didn't want to commit a sin by "impairing the fertility of a human being."
The Pharmacy Examining Board ruled in 2005 that Noesen failed to carry out his professional responsibility to get the woman's prescription to someone else if he wouldn't fill it himself.
The board reprimanded Noesen and ordered him to attend ethics classes. He was allowed to keep his license as long as he informs all future employers in writing that he won't dispense birth control pills and outlines steps he will take to make sure a patient has access to medication.
The board also found Noesen liable for the cost of the proceedings against him about $20,000 but the appeals court ordered the board to reconsider that decision.
Larry Dupuis, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, which like Planned Parenthood participated in the appeal, said the ruling struck the proper balance between patients' and pharmacists' rights.
A pharmacy should accommodate its pharmacists' religious beliefs but it can't leave "a patient high and dry," Dupuis said.
Noesen said the discipline "critically devastated" his business as a traveling pharmacist because some pharmacies refused to hire him and he lost his liability insurance, court records said.
There was no telephone listing for Noesen in St. Paul. Linton said he had not talked to Noesen in several months and didn't know whether he still lived in St. Paul.

Hi EB, I read the article on NYTimes and I came to your blog. You have been incredibly brave. I really hope you'll feel better someday. Just know that there's someone out there who is praying for you and with you. Take care.ReplyDelete
Best regards,
I also read the article on NYTimes and found your blog :)You are incredibly strong. I'll be praying for you too.ReplyDelete
Ditto above,ReplyDelete
It is such a shame that such truths are intentionally hidden to "save face." As humans, we all have faults and weaknesses, and we should all support one another in overcoming these difficulties, no matter how tragic or shocking - especially in an educational atmosphere. Clearly evils exits, there is no denying so. Therefore, educate of such evils.
I wish for all of those who have been on either side, those who choose deliberately to victimize young minds and those who are so unfortunate to be the victim, I wish all of you find solace and truth in life and overcome these human burdens by learning about yourselves and accepting life in its fullest.
Have no fear, for we all wind up in the same place in the end.
Clearly evil exists* ^^ReplyDelete
There is no shame in what happened to you - no more than someone should be ashamed if they are hit by a car through no fault of their own. You are a survivor.ReplyDelete

RENO, Nevada (CNN) - CNN has learned that John McCain and Sarah Palin plan to hold joint town hall meetings next week.
A McCain adviser says early plans are to hold the town halls in western Michigan and Wisconsin, although the exact details of where and when they will be held are still being worked out.
These events would likely mark the first time Palin takes questions from voters.
Aides say her solo campaign events planned for Nevada Saturday, Colorado Monday, and Ohio Tuesday are all scheduled as rallies where she will speak to but not interact with voters.
McCain is known for his town hall meetings, and often touts his penchant for the ask-anything approach as proof of his "straight talk."
But he hasn't held a town hall in almost a month - since August 20 in New Mexico.
And the man who promised to hold frequent press conferences in the White House hasn't held an availability with traveling reporters in exactly a month: His last press conference was August 13.
McCain aides are quite candid about the fact that they tried for months to persuade him to hold fewer press conferences in order to stay on message, and finally succeeded.
First, he stopped bringing reporters on his bus for his signature "straight talk legs."
Then he severely cut back on what had been a McCain campaign trail staple - a press conference after events with voters.
Senior advisers say they believe that has allowed them to better refine and control their message, and insist that contributed to his rise in the polls even before Palin was picked.
Instead, McCain does a slew of interviews with local reporters and anchors - not just in the states he's visiting, but also via satellite.
It's a tried and true way for candidates to get their messages out through what campaigns consider to be less of a "filter."
McCain aides have been getting complaints from traveling reporters about the reduced access, but it is still unclear when or if he'll hold another press conference.
–CNN's Kevin Bohn contributed to this report
I guess now McCain is used to having more than two dozen people at his town hall meetings.
I bet his trophy VP will be at his side everywhere he goes.
You're being brainwashed people...WAKE UP!
Furst question: "Gov. Palin, can we see your tax returns please?
The operative word is "control" here. It's curious to me that a future presidential candidate should be under the control of his press corps.
Some maverick.
Good symbiotic relationship between the two, but for how long?When will the Number 2 go unescorted to Face the Nation or Meet The Press? This combo scares the hell out of me because Ignorance cannot lead the blind.
Never , has a candidate running for the second most powerful job in the world been kept from the public scrutiny, as Sarah Palin. She is being fed "the party line" and has to have time , before they send her out , programed to preach the Republican "Mantra" to worshiping audiences! The PUPPET MASTERS, once again , have two puppets to dance to their Republican tunes !
Mccain Doesnt Do Straight Talk Anymore And He Has Not For Years! I See Spit And Run Palin Has A Lot Of Events Scheduled But Will Not Interact With Voters! This Means She Will Come Out And Give The Same Tired Speech, Tell Some More Lies And Then Scurry Back To The Crooked Talk Express! Nothing New Coming Out Of The Most Un Honorable Campaign Is Recent Modern Politics!
The McCain campaign is being run by the same crowd that Bush had when he ran against McCain for President. Remember all those lie's and smears they did on Mccain saying he had a black daughter out of wedlock and that his wife is a drug addict, well that style of dirty tricks campaigning won Bush the nomination. McCain I quess fiqured this time around get dirty and lie and he too can become President. So called "Country first" McCain has not only lost his honor but he also lost my vote........
Our greatest civic responsibility as citizens of the United States is to cast our votes wisely for those who will be tasked to lead and represent our country.
Listen to the candidates as they respond to the issues and determine if they have the maturity and wisdom to govern our nation. Theirs will be no small task, and we can ill afford the added repercussions of electing leaders who have a shallow or naive understanding of the issues and challenges that face our nation and the world.
We must think before casting our votes. We must place intelligence in the White House.
So she cant answer questions from the audience without McCain there? I agree the media went a little overboard on attacks, but that is no reason Palin cant step up and answer questions from the audience, from the people of the United States of America. Isn't McCain's campaign getting a little fascist in its strategies?
That's right, Johnny. Keep her close so she can't say too much. And when she appears alone at rallies, keep her on script.
The truth is your "fully qualified" running mate isn't even qualified to take questions from the folks you hope will vote for her. What a JOKE!
The reduction in press access is to better control the lies. Duhhh.
It seems that Palin navel string was also buried where McCain's was buried. If she is so tough and savvy, why does she have to cling to the helm of his pants. AND, why is he afraid to give her the full length of the rope? Is he afraid she hangs herself? I think the time has come for him to let go and let her fly. It is better for her to learn from her mistakes now than if/when she gets in the White House.
What a great team! I have never voted republican but will this year. My eyes were opened to the corruption of the DNC with the way they treated the Clintons and played games with the votes of those in Fl and Michegan. The "new" democratic party does not need me anyways according to Brazile. Only when Obama, Brazile, Dean and Pelosi are long gone will I ever vote democrat or give money to them again. I will NOT condone their corruption of the democratic party with a vote for them. I want my old party and their values back.
McPalin '08.
This is a joke.. Is this going to be acceptable for a VP person? WAKE UP AMERICANS...
So I wonder, is it that they don't want to leave Palin on her own because she's stupid, or have McCain on his own because he's getting senile?
Either way, it's strange. I hope Cindy is okay with this. I saw McCain checking Palin out, and we've all heard rumors that she likes the play around. Hmmm.......
Of course they have to be joint town hall meetings she is not ready to go it alone as her interviews painfully point out. And the question is if she isn't ready to campaign by herself how is she ready to be VP????
sure, they don't leave her alone. SHE'S A THREAT TO THE WHOLE WORLD; SHE'S DANGEROUS AND SHE'S A DOOFUS!
come on she's a joke. Well never made an interview but then first starting with will to let new cold or real war get started. She's frightening. And the repugs know what kind of joke she is.
Come on...she's a pitbull, might be, but now she's walked on the lead and wearing a muzzle...
you looked like an idiot, mrs. BUSH DOCTRINE
Mrs. Palin is perpetrating a fraud.
She is barely knowledgible on key matters of national importance. It was clear from the 1st interview she participated in that she's been cramming for the exam ... the interview ... and simply gave the rote answer.
It is pretty clear that none of this stuff has ever mattered to her and she's really not done any critical thinking about any of it to develop informed positions.
Sarah reads a teleprompter well and she "drops her g's" to sound colloquial and FOLKSY to the public. In time, she may improve her interviewing "technique" and will be able to fake out some voters but the policy & details substance isn't there.
For 8 years we tried having a folksy Washington outsider take over the Government and the White house .... That's how we got George Bush. I've learned and won't be repeating that mistake.
That's nice. Grandpa two two-face sell out and his nurse.
Great NOW we can LISTEN to LIES.. IN STEREO..!!
No more lies... No more of the same..!!
NO Hillary, No OBama, No way, No how. Keeping smiling McCain and Palin – you turned the tables on Mr. Change.
Gee, I bet these events will be just like Bush's-hand picked people and screened questions. I'll be very surprised if anyone is allowed to question Palin about anything other than her hair and clothes. If they do, she'll be off on her tangent about Alaska and the good she has done there. And McCain will simply blame Obama for whatever ails the country. Yawn.
what a shocker. not taking questions!! lol
talk about a celebrity!! wave at the crowd, say a few words then leave.
i guess after she bombed with a light-weight like charlie gibson we will get bread and butter stumps only.

The Pressure of Craft
03 Nov 2011|Cultural Insight Team
The V&A exhibition, 'Power of Making,' launched in September. As a joint venture with the Crafts Council, it presents an eclectic selection of crafted objects, ranging from a life-size crocheted bear to a ceramic eye patch, a fine metal flute to dry stone walling. It describes itself as a "cabinet of curiosities," showing works by both amateurs and leading makers from around the world.
Craft seems to be everywhere, from kitchen table Etsy sellers to the plethora of classes and clubs to attend. They even have a social twist – the Make Lounge (themakelounge.com) hosts hen nights, and Drink, Shop, Do (drinkshopdo.com) runs a bar and gallery alongside classes. There is even a website dedicated to celebrating DIY, handmade weddings (rocknrollbride.com)
So, it seems the goalposts are changing in terms of what people need to do to be 'authentic'. It used to be enough to be hand-made now people want stuff that is home made too. Culture is moving away from the pleasure of owning and towards the pleasure of creating. We hope that this means the shopping centres of the future will be as much about the opportunity to do or make something as they are to buy something.prev next

People can be terrible sometimes. Jade (Roper) Tolbert should be enjoying the final days of being pregnant with her second child, but instead the Bachelor star is spending her time defending her almost 2-year-old daughter Emerson against claims from fans that she's showing signs of autism. Who says that to another mom, anyway? Internet commenters, that's who.
Tanner Tolbert's wife shared some screenshots to her Instagram story this week, saying that the comments she was receiving "are NOT okay."
In another screenshot, she called for more "internet etiquette."
Jade also wrote that she can't believe other parents would make such rude comments.
Can we get a slow clap for this mama lion, speaking up for her daughter in the final days of her pregnancy?

Now, sale finding site Love The Sales has done the maths, working out how much the Duchess of Sussex has spent on maternity clothes. Calculating all 75 of her maternity outfits, the site have broken down her most expensive and least expensive looks — and they've figured out how Prince Harry's wife's wardrobe stacks up against Kate.
Her most expensive outfit? The site picks the Duchess's Oscar de la Renta gown as her most expensive, coming in at a huge AU$19,662, not including jewellery.
Her least expensive outfit was worn while visiting Fraser Island. Complete with a dress from &OtherStories, the entire outfit came in at just $837, when factoring in her Karen Walker sunglasses and Sarah Flint sandals.
Her cheapest item was a cream H&M maternity dress which came in at just $48, and fans 'liked' the Givenchy gown she wore to the 2018 Fashion Awards the most.
The site also notes navy blue and black as her favourite pregnancy colours, wearing both shades more than any other.
Adding up the cost of all Meghan's outfits, Love The Sales have estimated the Duchess has spent a whopping $898,000 on clothing during her pregnancy. Yes, close to half a million dollars. But hey, that's the price of looking royal, right?
The findings also reveal Meghan spent seven times more than Kate did during her pregnancies. Although they don't give a number, it does lead us to believe Kate spent around $130,000 on maternity clothes — still a staggeringly high figure.
Expensive taste or not, we have to admit it's all worth it. Royal baby Sussex, you've got one stylish mum.
WATCH: What will Meghan and Harry name their baby?

Currently, Fiberglass Reinforced Thermosetting Plastic (FRP) is being applied in many industrial product applications, including the storage and transfer of corrosive components and the handling of other materials in corrosive environments. Since most fiberglass pipe manufacturers use a reinforcement material that is an E-glass roving made up of a multitude of individual filaments, it is the resin and manufacturing methodology that play the greatest roles in determining mechanical strength.
We teach that the finest method to level a fiberglass pool is to totally lift the pool out of the hole and either add or take away material to get the pool to the preferred level. RTRP pipe jointing at internet site shall be carried out as per the specifications of this process and pipe manufacturer's (vendors) installation and jointing instructions.
Sizes accessible variety from 1/2 inch to 24 inch iron pipe size with thickness variations from 1 to four inches. Most fiberglass pipe insulation suppliers (in the USA) test their solutions up to 850F occasionally 1000F. Typical pipe insulation is only approved for temperatures up to 120 or perhaps 200 degrees F. It will not operate with steam pipes. A corporation that performs a custom course of action to a element or solution manufactured elsewhere. Although normal pipe insulation may be a bit less costly and could possibly be much easier to come across, you can't use this sort of insulation with steam pipes. One notable feature of fiberglass is that the resins utilized are subject to contraction for the duration of the curing approach.
Fiberglass is an immensely versatile material due to its light weight, inherent strength, weather-resistant finish and variety of surface textures. You rarely hear of a chemical attack trouble with composite pipe unless you are dealing with a really aggressive chemical. Thomas Insulation has compiled an insulation sizing support document for fiberglass pipe insulation, pvc fittings and insulation saddles for each iron pipe sizes and copper tubing. HOBAS is a major supplier of high overall performance GRP Pipe Systems for applications such as potable water, waste water, hydropower penstocks, cooling water lines, irrigation and drainage. JPS Pipe Function For Contract Basis and Handle Each National and International Project beneath the associated nation authority law. Fiberglass sheets can also be screwed to the hoops to kind a cover over the frame.
It is also verified that fiberglass weighs 5 times much less than other metals but the strength displayed is virtually the same, if not stronger. Fiberglass developed this way can be produced in a selection of shapes and cross-sections, such as W or S cross-sections.

At my gym last week, a woman struggled to stay on a treadmill while handing her friend an iPhone bearing a photo of the gift she's giving her college-aged daughter this Christmas. The friend took a good look, and then it became her turn to almost lose her balance: $595 Jimmy Choo Uggs.
Not many of us can or would consider buying such an extravagant gift, but it did raise questions (and heart rates) among the "seasoned" moms doing cardio about buying holiday gifts for their adult children. Do you or don't you? How much is too much? How little is too little?
ParentDish.com debated this question via dueling essays by twenty-something Amanda Feinberg and baby boomer mom Nina Herzog.
In "Unwrapping Never Gets Old … Even As I Do," Ms. Feinberg wrote:
"…when it comes to opening a gift from one's parents, well, that's just the crème de la crème of gift-getting. They just give better, don't they? As a young adult in my 20s, earning a relatively small income, I look forward to any opportunity for my parents to treat me to that special item I cannot afford myself. A digital camera? A new pair of shoes? Maybe an iPod? What about that bracelet I've been eying online? Remember, Mom, the one I e-mailed to you twice (or three times or four)?"
In "Adult Children: Grow Up and Gift Out!" Ms. Herzog countered:
"Teaching our adult children the value of hard work and financial gain is paramount, and the annual influx of gifts on special occasions tends to fiddle with those important life lessons…No matter how old they are, they will always be 'our babies,' but at some point the relationship needs to become more equal, and, eventually, the whole parent-child thing begins to resemble a beautiful variation on friendship. We can begin this process by halting childhood acts of giving and showing our love in other ways, with an occasional special treat on the side."
Obviously a touchy subject as evidenced by more than 500 comments. Many older commenters sided with the young Ms. Feinberg–parents insisting that they enjoy buying special gifts for their adult offspring, and those offspring responding with appreciation. Ms. Herzog's supporters were just as emphatic, one calling Ms. Feinberg "a selfish little brat," and another suggesting, "Why not just ask your parents for an annual donation?
Ouch… not much holiday spirit there! Ms. Herzog suggests that parents put a stop to the shiny packages under the tree or the eight nights of Hanukah gifting when their child reaches age 25, in order to teach important lessons about financial independence. But aren't there other ways besides a ban on gift-giving to impart those lessons? And shouldn't instruction begin a lot sooner than age 25?
The unabashed enjoyment displayed by Ms. Feinberg isn't the same thing as peevish entitlement. Parents have every right to Just Say No when adult children present them with a laundry-list of holiday must-haves. Yes, even grown-up kids can turn bratty and conflate "wants" with "needs." And when that occurs, it may be time for one of those good old teachable moments – i.e., a frank discussion on the topic, rather than a lump of coal.
Sometimes we're forced to buy gifts out of social or professional obligation. But delighting our adult children with presents is, for many of us, an act of love. Back when each of my children discovered there was no Santa Claus, I tried to ease the shock by explaining that sometimes there's more joy in giving a thoughtful, special gift than in receiving one.
We buy gifts for adult children for the same reasons we did when they were tots and tweens and teens: to see the smiles (well, most of the time) and to share the joy. Why should this stop when they become adults?
So how much is too much; how little is too little? That depends on your pocketbook and your personality. So whether it's boring staples like socks (I refuse), or fun gifts like a Trader Joe's cookbook or intellectually stimulating like a New Yorker subscription or even over-the-top designer Uggs or countless other gifts, just do it!

Muffin Tin Monday - Now with fresh tortillas
Faith mentioned the other day that we haven't had Muffin Tin Monday in awhile, so I planned on doing one today. Now, in my head, I had all sorts of grandiose ideas, but I went to Kroger this morning. And they had fresh butter tortillas, right off the baking machine. And the very nice tortilla lady gave me a sample, which means I came home with a fresh bag of butter tortillas.
Needless to say, lunch plans got scrapped so we could use some of these wonderful fresh tortillas. I still did put it in a muffin tin!
Faith had cheese quesadillas, a combo of monterey jack and sharp cheddar, along with a boiled egg and some pretzels. The bottom row has fresh cantaloupe, strawberry yogurt with sprinkles and some fresh strawberries.
Check out Muffin Tin Monday for more fun tins!

Yum! I've only ever had mass-produced tortillas... except at California Adventure, but they were still not awesome. But I love the sound of anything with "fresh" and "butter" in the name!ReplyDelete
Fresh tortillas are the best!ReplyDelete
Yummy!!! I wish our Kroger had fresh tortillas! What a fun treat :DReplyDelete
Delightful! Tortillas would be a fun thing to learn how to make fresh, wouldn't they? Mmmm :)ReplyDelete
I would love to know how to make them fresh, I've never tried. Many of the groceries here make them on site, so if you time it right, you have a warm bag of tortillas to take home. F&B loves the one Kroger where the lady takes them right off the rotating griddle and wraps them up in paper for them to taste test. :o)ReplyDelete
Yuuuuum! Can I have this for lunch please???ReplyDelete
I've never made tortillas, but I have made other flat breads, and they were waaaay easier than I thought they would be.

Ke$ha sells penis/teeth jewellery
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 5 August 2013
Popstar and romancer-of-ghosts Ke$ha has 'created' a range of accessories in collaboration with accessory-creating pro Charles Albert.
Split into six themed mini-lines, it features bracelets, pendants and – as a kind of phallic parallel to Grimes' feminist jewellery – penis-shaped earrings. Oh, and rings cast from real live Ke$ha fans' teeth, and yes, I mean the same teeth that were reaped by the 'Supernatural' hitmaker last year.

The Windows Phone 8 era is swinging into full effect. Nokia's big launch event was only a few short weeks ago, now HTC is enjoying its time in the spotlight with two handsets of its own. The Windows Phone 8S makes no mystery of its platform choice and, like the One S, indicates its midrange status with a simple alphabetic suffix. This four-inch phone will be shipping with HSPA on board. Unfortunately there's no word on an LTE edition of this rather handsome device. Spec-wise, the WVGA screen leaves us a little wanting, but we appreciate the combination of Super LCD and Gorilla Glass, which should make for a contrasty and scratch resistant panel. Under the hood is a dual-core S4 clocked at 1GHz, which is hardly a speed demon by todays standards, but should be enough to keep Microsoft's streamlined OS humming along nicely. The CPU is augmented by 512MB of RAM, which isn't any beefier than most Mango phones prepping for retirement.
A paltry 4GB of storage is baked in, but thankfully HTC saw fit to include a microSD slot for expansion. Those rather modest internals should help the handset make the most of the 1,700 mAh battery at least. Sadly, the Taiwanese manufacturer decided to skip a front-facing cam on its entry level device and the sensor around back is only 5MP and limited to 720p video capture. At 10.28mm thick the 8S isn't the sleekest handset, but the tapered edges make look quite a bit thinner than that measurement would indicate. There's no denying the appeal of the two-tone polycarbonate bodies, regardless of comparative girth, which feature soft touch finishes in veritable rainbow of options. Pricing has yet to be announced, but you can expect the 8S to hit shelves in early November on a number of carriers. Full PR awaits after the break.

asked Jan 08 '16 at 23:55 by pegox (11)
I'm writing a controller script for use with Maschine MkII. I want to dedicate some button to show/hide the Inspector window. That works using Application.toggleInspector. However, I also need to know whether the inspector is shown or not to light up the button on Maschine. I would expect an Application.addInspectorObserver or something but is seems missing?

"In the former law it was said: "Do good to men of your own nation, and do evil to strangers." But I tell you, love not only your own countrymen, but people of other nations. Let strangers hate you, let them fall upon you, wrong you; but you speak well of them, and do them good. If you are only attached to your countrymen, why, all men are thus attached to their own countrymen, and hence wars arise. Behave equally towards men of all nations, and you will be sons of the Father. All men are his children and therefore all brothers to you." -Jesus Christ (Mt. v. 43)

Exotic Wood Watches
Exotic Wood Watches
- Page 1 of 2
- Next
Martin & MacArthur has the most extensive offering of wood watches featuring innovative designs, high quality movements, and beautiful faces. When it comes to wood watches, we have the finest quality, most striking styles.
Martin & MacArthur has over 80 styles of wood watches in styles for men and women. While wood watches were initially considered a "guy thing," today, more than half our wood watches are purchased and worn by women. Women love the light weight of our wood watches compared to metal watch bands. Everyone loves the fact that our wood watches are made from sustainable woods and dead or fallen trees. If you are truly ecologically minded, our wood watches should be a serious consideration.
Our most popular wood watches are made with our private stock of Koa wood, which grows only in Hawaii. Koa wood watches were first created by Martin & MacArthur when no one else was thinking that Hawaii's prized wood could be used to make exquisite time pieces.
Today, we also design watches using Karri Wood, Zebra Wood, Maple, Walnut, and Sandalwood. All of our exotic wood watches have premium quartz movements with two-year warranties. We pride ourselves in partnering with Frances Lau and her team in British Columbia to make our wood watches. Absolutely none of our watches are made in Asia.

The ski class had its second snow outing last week. There had not been any new snow during the week. Originally each outing was supposed to be at a different place but with no new snow and not much snow at all it was decided that we would go back to Stevens Nordic Center again because it is at a higher elevation than some of the other choices and did have a little old snow anyway. The existing snow is groomed by one of these monster machines that grinds up the hard pack snow and puts new tracks in for cross-country skiing.
The snow-cat
My very patient instructor G demonstrates how to do a snowplow while I watch her. We are skiing in the tracks so it is necessary to lift a ski out of the track and then make the snowplow. That means putting all the weight on one leg while going ever faster down the hill before the plow is completed and the slowing starts. It is very easy to lose balance and tip over.
Proof that I can do it! My rental skis do not have metal edges. The metal edges are supposed to help a lot with the snowplow when going down and with the herringbone and sidestep when going up a hill. G could force the metal edges of her skis into the hillside when going up in the sidestep while my skis could not anchor into the hillside properly without the metal edges and just kept slipping downward. That equals another fall. All the cross-country skis have what looks like fish scales in the middle (camber) to aid in traction so it is possible to "stomp bugs" and walk up slight inclines with skis on, however, if the hill gets too steep it means using either the sidestep or the herringbone (looks almost opposite to the snowplow with the skis pointed outward instead of inward). We tried both methods.
The practice area had a very gentle slope but it was enough to feel like whizzing down pretty fast.
After falling and landing twice in the same place I am no longer exactly smiling but as you can see from the pictures I am skiing after a fashion. I am looking forward to the next snow outing. The rental fees were beginning to add up and when we saw a good deal on buying equipment we went for it. The bindings are being mounted but my own skis, poles, boots and bindings should be ready to try out by the third outing. The new skis will have metal edges and it has been snowing in the mountains so it is hoped that the third outing will be a wonderful event.
This week the group had four people again but not all the same folks as the week before. I was very inspired by one woman who is not as old as I but probably the closest to my age. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy and not letting that stop her. Another younger woman had had several knee surgeries and had a brace on her leg but she continued to stick with it too. The only man in the group had fallen almost as many times as I had the week before. He was doing great by lunchtime but like me elected to quit shortly after lunch. The leader of the class is very kind and acknowledged that beginners often get tired, urged us not to give up, and promised that we could do as much or as little as we were comfortable with.
Look at this—two ski passes!

Hit supernatural horror film The Bye Bye Man isn't nearly as bad as you've heard
Director Stacy Title's supernatural horror film The Bye Bye Man was a surprise hit this year, despite the fact that critics raked it mercilessly over the coals. Which goes to show you that critical opinion means little when it comes to box office success, especially with feature films targeted towards young people.
But like plenty of critically-reviled mainstream spook shows, The Bye Bye Man wasn't worthy of its pile-on internet hate. In fact, for what it is, it's a stylish, intense and serious genre film with a surprisingly brutal streak. In fact, The Bye Bye Man is a rather depressing affair, which is exactly what it wants to be. The movie is now on Digital HD and hits Blu-ray/DVD on April 11th and it's well worth a look. In fact, we liked it better than well-reviewed but totally conventional contemporary spook shows like Lights Out (which I hated) or Don't Breathe (which I liked but found to be rather ordinary and forgettable).
The movie opens with panic and violence, a 1960s-set sequence that sees actor/writer Leigh Whannell (the Insidious films) blowing away his friends and neighbors with a shotgun while muttering "Don't think it, don't say it..". It's a rather jarring and unsparing bit of nastiness (even nastier in the slightly-longer unrated version, included on this disc) that paves the way for the central story, set in the present day in which a trio of college kids rent a run down house off-campus that's meant to be fully furnished and it is… except all the furniture is junked up in the basement. Sweet young couple Elliot (Douglas Smith) and Sasha (Cressida Bonas) drag up their finds to their room and among the antiquated pieces is a nightstand table that happens to have those words – "Don't think it, don't say it…" scribbled all over the inside of the drawer.
After a boozy housewarming party, Elliot, Sasha and their roomie John (Lucien Laviscount), hook up with a sexy young psychic who senses the bad energy of the place and tries to "cleanse" the abode. Said cleansing includes having sex with John, but the next day, things start to get strange. The kids start to feel ill and begin having volatile and sexual hallucinations and Elliot becomes convinced that they've been cursed by a legendary supernatural entity called, yes, you guessed it, "The Bye Bye Man." As his mind and the minds of his friends begin unraveling, Elliot digs deeper into the mystery, coming to the conclusion that The Bye Bye Man is an entity that spreads like a disease, causing psychosis and death in his victims. And the only way to stop his spread is by murdering anyone else who you've spoken his name to… and then killing yourself.
The Bye Bye Man is not particularly scary, but what makes it work is its sincerity and its off-the-wall weirdness. No one behaves rationally in this film and the more surreal things get, the less the characters behave. And while some have cited that as a flaw, I think it's a strength. By the time Cleo King (Aunt Lou in HBO's Deadwood) as Mrs. Watkins the librarian shows up, you're laughing. And when Faye Dunaway appears late in the film, essentially channeling Bette Davis circa Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, you're basically in another cinematic dimension entirely. Throw in Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) as a tough cop investigating the inexplicable deaths surrounding the house and you have here what might end up eventually being a cool little cult fave.
And how does the boogeyman at the core of the film hold up? The Bye Bye Man himself is effectively imposing, a hooded wraith played by the great Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan's Labrynth), slinking around in the shadows with his bloody, undead, brain eating dog. There's a scene where Jones simply touches a character forehead. Oddly, it's the best scene in the movie. Because Jones is a physical performer and I'll be damned if he doesn't make that simple gesture a minimalist show-stopper.
The Bye Bye Man would play on a nice double bill with the considerably more stripped down It Follows, with the lethal ghost spreading like a virus through a group of friends. The difference being that in It Follows, the spook is an STD and here, it's more like a cancer, something that plants itself and grows out of control, without reason or emotion.
I liked this film. Despite the PG-13 rating, it's a very grim and incredibly dark affair where no one comes out unscathed. There's no deeper purpose or meaning here, it's just a piece of commercial entertainment whose strongest desire is to create a new franchise horror film character and really, there aint nothing wrong with that. Universal's Blu-ray/DVD/Digital HD combo pack looks and sounds great but doesn't come with a single extra. Shame that.

It's been an incredibly crazy summer to be a Tottenham fan – via the £86million departure of Gareth Bale, the North Londoners have brought in seven new players, all expected to become key members of the first team, breaking the club's record transfer fee three times in the process.
Daniel Levy and Andre Villas-Boas are desperate to qualify for the Champions League this season, especially amid the monumental managerial changes at the Premier League's summit over the summer, but in order to do so, the Spurs duo will have to conduct further astute transfer dealings in January.
And with that in mind, Football Fancast have come up with a list of FIVE key issues the Lilywhites have to address in the next transfer window.

1.) Having done a (very informal and unscientific!) poll amongst my online aspie friends and acquaintances, it seems that what we want most from NTs is simple respect. With respect, all things are possible. If NTs interact with us with respect, then they will listen to us, truly hear what we are saying, believe that our experiences and viewpoints are valid (even if they don't understand them), trust that we know what we are talking about; and generally realize that while we have certain difficulties in life, yes, and need certain types of assistance, yes, we are nonetheless human, essentially more 'like them' than 'other', that we are 'different-but-equal'. And we can hear them too; we can be open to their concerns, because dialogue is only possible between equals.
Without respect, we can only be 'managed', lectured at, told how 'deficient' we are, and how we 'need' to do this or that to 'get our lives into shape' and be 'normal', etc etc, we all know the script, and the situations. So respect has to be a starting point, for all meaningful and productive interactions between us and NTs.
2.) Those who show us the least respect, in fact none at all, are those organisations and parents of autistic kids, of the 'autism is a tragedy' mindset. I'm not going to name names, but I'm sure you know the sort I mean. The ones who say we can't possibly be autistic because we can talk, read and write, and live (more or less) independently; that only those who are 'low-functioning' are 'truly' autistic. And therefore we are 'attention-seekers' and 'noisy nuisances' who 'trivialise real autism' (hey, I'm only skimming the surface of the insults here), whiners without any 'real' problems who should just go away and shut up. Especially if we dare to suggest there is anything of value about being autistic, or question the type of therapy they are putting their kids through. Because autism is a 'tragedy' and a 'monster' and they are going to 'cure' their kids of it, and make them normal, come hell or high water.
Such people ignore not only our voices but those of the scientists, doctors, psychiatrists and other researchers who first defined autism as a spectrum of disorders. They ignore everybody in fact but those who pander to their paranoia, 'poor me' viewpoint, doom-saying, frantic searches for a 'cure', and anti-vaccine etc viewpoints. There's much I would like to say to such people, but there's little or no point even trying to engage them in a dialogue, because that simple 'different-but-equal' respect is missing. Far better, perhaps, to try and reach those parents of autistics and others who are willing to listen.
Enough said. For now.

Richt Transfer Redux: THE READERS GOT IT RIGHT!
On Friday, I posed a question to our loyal, patient (I got my Phil Steele magazine today, production officially ramps up tonight), and intelligent readers: Is Mark Richt too lenient on outgoing transfers?
The results are in, and…by God, we actually agree that CMR is doing it right!
In the large majority of cases, guys are going to transfer from Georgia for one of two reasons:
– They got in trouble with the law/university. (Tray Matthews, Nick Marshall, Jonathan Taylor, et al)
– They're not going to contribute in a meaningful way. (Jacob Park, Blake Tibbs)
Under those circumstances, it's perfectly understandable as to why Richt would allow guys to carve out their paths as they so choose. Under the legal/school category, you have unfortunate Jonathan Taylor situations, and you have the ones like a Tray Matthews or Nick Marshall that could bite you on the field, but establish a little bit more credibility with parents. Given that, a little roster attrition (probably 20-30% per recruiting class) should be expected, and allows fans who follow recruiting to get all lathered up when the Dawgs line up another top 5 recruiting class.
Anyway, I'm proud of y'all for agreeing with me and the rest of the DudeYouCrazy team, and I want to thank the solitary jokester/crazy person who expects the rest of the league to fall in line with Georgia.

Do you recognize what happens when we are out of balance with our sexual life force energy?
In the Sweet Medicine SunDance path, the Balanced Choreography of Energy is a wheel and movement around the circle of directions that help remind us what we naturally need to do be in balance and harmony with all aspects of ourselves.
We've shared past posts about what it means to be in balance each of the five directions around a wheel.
If we could master this balanced choreography: giving with the emotions, holding with the physical body, receiving with the mind, determining with spirit and catalyzing with open, heart-to-heart sexual communication, we would be walking around this planet in balance and harmony with all things.
But as we all know, imbalance often occurs. Fatigue and pain are created when these directions and energetic expressions are interchanged.
Sexual life force energy sits in the center of the wheel and is called chi/ki/prana in other traditions. As human beings, we often equate sexual life force energy with the act of sex itself, but it is, in fact, the creative, life-giving essence and energy that runs through all living beings in our universe.
Let's look at some common examples of imbalance with the center and sexual life force energy.
When people give with their sexual life force energy instead of catalyze, they give everything of his/her essence and, hence, rapidly deplete oneself. Therefore, a sudden life force loss is experienced in absence of another dysfunctional issue. Think of a gas tank that suddenly has a hole in it. One small hole can cause all the gas that otherwise would have catalyzed the engine to be partially or completely on the ground instead of the engine.
When people hold and transform with their sexual life force energy, the tendency is to go to sex as escape and fixation. Hence, sex addictions appear as dysfunctional patterns.
When people receive with their sexual life force energy, boundaries are lost and/or non-existent. There is a loss of personal identity and not being awake and conscious to one's own energy. Codependence is often experienced as a result.
When people determine with their sexual life force energy, they lose touch with reality, and what is within sacred law. This can manifest subtly as illusion or as complete delusional thinking and behavior. The extreme of this are psychopaths, manipulators and engaging in criminal activity in order to force their own will.
Can you identify times when you are in imbalanced choreography with your sexual life force energy?

Day 1: 合Shabu - Taipei, Taiwan
I love hot pot and love it even more when I get to have nice meat to go with it. Love this place's environment. Classy looking for a hot pot place, not like the usual run down dirty looking hot pot I see so often.
Love how they have different dipping sauce. My fave is the one with green union and radish. Yummy!
We order 2 meal set. Each comes with appetizer, a bunch of veggie and wagyu Australian beef, and of course desserts. I like how the waiter would help us lay out the veggie in the pot and cook it, making it all nice. Totally photo ready.
If I were to cook it myself, I would just dump everything in and it would look like shit.
Appetizers. Uni with some slimy veggie....very very slimy. I don't know it's called. The taste is fine, but I just can't get over the slimy snot feel.
Smoked duck breast salad.
Finally, the beef came and we were ready to gobble up everything!
Tender, juicy, beefy....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
