Zack (Cold Fury, Book #3)
New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett goes for a hat trick with the latest romance in a sexy series about cool-as-ice hockey players and the women heating up their lives.
Rising star Zack Grantham has been stuck in a downward spiral of grief ever since the car accident that left him a single dad and put his career on hold. Back on the road with the Carolina Cold Fury and still crippled by emotional baggage, he's in need of some serious help with his son. But while the nerdy new nanny wins his son's heart, Zack isn't sure he's ready for a woman's touch—even after getting a glimpse of the killer curves she's hiding under those baggy clothes.
Kate Francis usually keeps men like Zack at a distance. Though his athlete's body is honed to perfection, he refuses to move on with his life—and besides, he's her boss. Still, the sparks between them are undeniable, tempting Kate to turn their professional relationship into a personal one. But before she makes a power play for Zack's wounded heart, Kate will have to open him up again and show him that love is worth the fight.

Is Niall Horan Black Irish?
I heard that Black Irish people are generally the brunettes. I think they had black ancestors or something. I'm not sure but can you tell me? He died his hair blonde, but it's originally brunette you can see from the roots of this pic. He has blue eyes and pale skin. Is he Black Irish?
Best Answer: Unlikely. Black Irish are usually people who are descended from Mediterranean stock, and still have black hair and dark eyes. They don't come in little boxes, they can pop up from generation to generation, along with the red hair.
I myself am Irish and I have brunette hair but Im pure pale and have blue eyes.
I wish that Americans wouldn't give us terms like that . I have black hair and blue eyes and a pale face but then again my sisters have brown hair and other family members are blond . So does that make my sisters brown Irish or blonde Irish etc etc . Well just like any Northern European country we have many hair colors among white native Irish . Now that the gene pool is being mixed a bit with the influx of foreign nationals it will become more diverse ..
Black Irish is a black person born in Ireland. Think Phil Lynott. Does Niall look like that to you?
The original appearance of Irish people was black/brown hair, pale skin and blue eyes (or so I'm told by my old Geography teacher). Red hair apparently came with the Vikings, but I don't know.
not at all, he looks swedish!
Why is "niall horan" the blonde kid from "one direction" disliked by so many?
I think im turning into niall horan!?
Fun Survey #1??? one directionnnnnn?
What are the names of the boys in one direction I'm having trouble putting names with faces?
What are Tipperary people like?

There's a dance that Steve and I loved. You could say it was our "go to" dance. The choreography was set as a duet for our first twenty years together. It was gentle, playful, yet purposeful–even passionate at times–usually working well together, moving in sync. (Except when we weren't, and toes got stepped on, the delicate "leader"/"follower" balance grinding to a halt, while grace seemed to take a holiday!) But on most days if you were to look into our home during those first two decades you would see a smooth waltz–or maybe even a lively polka.
Then our longed-for baby girl entered the dance. We would have been wise to bring in a choreographer at that point, to prepare us for the overwhelming energy and tempo shift of parenthood. But we adjusted and became so quickly enthralled with the sweet "we" of us that we dipped and spun and whirled in our circle dance–drunk with love for our baby and our new trio.
Fast forward more than a decade of family life. Over the past few years, we had been living with an active teenager. So Steve and I had been trying to learn an updated duet, balanced with plenty of solo time and less of our beloved, familiar trio.
Meanwhile, I think Ellie had been relieved to have more and more light, lithe peers to connect with. Most of her heart naturally wanted to move in those circles.
Then August 2nd happened. Much of these past five months haven't looked like any dance I've ever seen (with the exception of some of those experimental pieces, full of chaos and confusion). It has felt like we can't possibly start moving in earnest, because we are missing our third dancer. So much of life is clumsy, out of rhythm, out of balance without him.
And yet…and yet…we have begun. It definitely feels like a rough sketch, a work in progress. But it does have some of my favorite elements from our dances over the years. Yes, it bows and dips with the weight of life–as it must. But it also rises, spins, and even skips at times with a funny joke told, a good moment shared, a positive "Dad" memory recalled.
They say "The only constant in life is change". So for now, we will just keep right on dancing–learning these new steps and savoring those moments of grace when we are blessed with them.
I wish the same for you, wherever you are in this ever-changing dance.
Grateful for all of your support along the way…
Tightrope


A very inspiring talked conducted by Ar. Mumtazah binti Mustajab, who is an engaging architect in this special need architecture design and a mother to a young autistic child. She mentioned that autism is a disorder that should not be overlooked due to the exponential growth in recent years. Unfortunately, Malaysia has yet to pick up the pace to deliver feasible solutions to this issue.
Personally, I had encountered and engaged with some autistic people. They have the disorder that disables them to interact and carry out daily life routine independently. They need special care and intervention whereby they are taught with skills that enable them to live independently. However, in Malaysia, there are little awareness regarding this disorder and having such non-typical offspring resulted in family confusion, disagreement and even fight.
There are several obvious symptoms that resemble an autistic person. If we encounter such person, do show more patience and understanding towards them.
With such non-typical behaviors, there are special needs that have to be delivered when designing their home. There are a few highlights of design consideration which are the stimulants, the age group and also the therapies. The stimulants should be taken seriously by the architect for the home of autistic.
Environmental stimulants such as light, smell, noise and touch can be devastating if excessive (the scale at which most of the time is acceptable to the typical person) but will be helpful if they are trained to perceive and manage the stimulants.
Lighting shall not be glaring and the slight flickering of lights should be avoided as this will affect their mood. The color decision also affects their performance like blue will bring calm and focus while red will bring out the energetic part of them. The visual infographic is also used to communicate with them better as some may not have good literacy. Smell and noise from the surrounding should be well controlled to enable them to focus in their learning environment. Textures of surrounding should also be emphasized and well thought as they need to be trained to perceive a different kind of touch sensation.
Hard edged corner – during meltdown period (where they lose their control over emotion and react aggressively without conscious or having fit), soft edge and soft surface reduce casualty.
Complicated coloring scheme or pattern scheme – they are visually sensitive and will be distracted (for hours) for an out of norm design pattern. Only use glaring colors on those items that desired for their attention.
Horizontal elements – horizontal elements like glass louvers or railing pattern will enable them to climb. Without the sense of danger, this will directly threaten the safety of the autistic.
Engage the child as a family (both father and mother). The child will be needing a complete family to grow and learn. There may be fights and disagreement between the spouse, but it should be done out of the child's sight. Besides being a prevention of leaving scars and shadows within the child's mind, the good behavior of parents (every part) will be mimicked by the child. Thus, the parents are as well as the mold of the child and what the child become is very dependable to the form of the parents provided.
Always keep in mind to make the child ready to live independently (with minimal supervision). The child has to be equipped with basic skills to be independent. There will be a point whereby the parents will no longer capable of taking care of the child due to the cruelty of aging. With this impending reality, the parents need to slowly let go of their child and wish them the best. However, this is indeed very hard for the parents as our natural instinct is to love our child unconditionally.
However, most of the parents in Malaysia had yet to achieve this level of mindset whereby they are willing to let their kids leave and live alone. This is due to the current condition of the country unable to provide a suitable environment for the autistic adult to live and be consistently supervise. Thus, this leads to low confidence towards the child to be able to survive in the harsh world and also the acceptance of the community.
Regardless of that, the possibility of letting the autistic to be independent may be achievable to have a small community of autistic friendly residential with attached healthcare facilities, personal and also professionals that could help and facilitate the autistics to carry out daily life activities, without the constant need of their parents to be around. Nonetheless, this will be a long journey and large efforts have to be committed to enable such feat to take off and benefit the autistics.
From this lecture, I had gained a lot of insight. I hope through this afterthought sharing, I could contribute to the raising of awareness about this amazing group of people, with hidden potential and yet awaits to be discovered as gems of the world.

Having to close the East Coast's major waste transfer centre due to the illegal dumping of asbestos could not come at a worse time, the region's mayor says. Break O'Day Council closed the Scamander Waste Transfer Station on Thursday after a member of the public dumped asbestos material into a bulk general waste bin at Ansons Bay. The bin was then transferred to Scamander where it has contaminated the site. The site's bulk compactor and walking floor are affected. Mayor Mick Tucker said the contamination was disappointing, disgusting and pretty serious. He said it would be "extremely hard to deal with" during the Easter weekend. The cost is expected to be in the "tens of thousands" for the council. "The financial cost worn by the community because of this very irresponsible behaviour is going to be gobsmacking," Mr Tucker said. IN OTHER NEWS: The waste station will have to be completely decontaminated, which Cr Tucker said was highly unlikely to occur before Tuesday. "There will be a lot of inconvenienced community members and holidaymakers because of this one very irresponsible person," he said. "We will also be doing everything in our power to stop the disruption." Cr Tucker said the council would do what it could to hold the person responsible to account. "It's illegal and totally irresponsible. It's absolutely disgusting to think someone would be okay with putting lives at risk." The council closed the site about 3pm on Thursday. St Helens Waste Transfer Station remains open, but Cr Tucker expected there would be a stockpile of rubbish at the site because it is normally transferred to the Scamander site before being taken to Launceston. The transfer station will be closed until at least Wednesday. Town litter and kerbside general waste collection services will continue, but prior to Wednesday there may be "significant service delays".

What to do with an empty space in your mind!!! Our "monkey" mind runs wild!!
It takes some effort and time to work with your thoughts.
What to do with your thoughts?
Just observe and be a witness of you're thoughts without trying to judge or dawning away in it. In the beginning you want to fight. A lot of emotions arise. We want to escape in social media, food or create an overactive agenda. Just allow to be in the restless state and acknowledge what wants to be seen. Recognize the thoughts and emotions and let them go. There is nothing to hold on, nothing you have to fix or nothing to judge. Just allow to be a witness and experience that thoughts and emotions come and go. After a while you feel more space en be okay in what is. Stay soft to yourself.
So you can land in your heart and let your intuition guide you. Trust that shining a light on your thoughts the first step is to healing and transformation.
Rather than bully yourself and increasing the emotional intensity you are feeling. When you feel emotions arise, expand your breath. Feel the feelings and drop the story created by your mind. Repeat the mantra "I am replacing my usual how can I fix this with I am grateful". Remember how you want to feel.
In the stillness between your thoughts, in the awareness of space between your breaths you will find your true self. Here you find what's really important for you. How closer you come to yourself and find your inner silence, the more you are able to create more presence in your daily life. So you can create a healthy and joyful living in every area of your life.

Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing value in the National Archives of the United States and the destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). DATES: Requests for copies must be received in writing on or before July 24, 2014. Once the appraisal of the records is completed, NARA will send a copy of the schedule. NARA staff usually prepare appraisal memorandums that contain additional information concerning the records covered by a proposed schedule. These, too, may be requested and will be provided once the appraisal is completed. Requesters will be given 30 days to submit comments.

These schedules provide for the timely transfer into the National Archives of historically valuable records and PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35799 authorize the disposal of all other records after the agency no longer needs them to conduct its business. Some schedules are comprehensive and cover all the records of an agency or one of its major subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one office or program or a few series of records. Many of these update previously approved schedules, and some include records proposed as permanent. The schedules listed in this notice are media neutral unless specified otherwise. An item in a schedule is media neutral when the disposition instructions may be applied to records regardless of the medium in which the records are created and maintained. Items included in schedules submitted to NARA on or after December 17, 2007, are media neutral unless the item is limited to a specific medium. (See 36 CFR 1225.12(e).) No Federal records are authorized for destruction without the approval of the Archivist of the United States. This approval is granted only after a thorough consideration of their administrative use by the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private persons directly affected by the Government's activities, and whether or not they have historical or other value. Besides identifying the Federal agencies and any subdivisions requesting disposition authority, this public notice lists the organizational unit(s) accumulating the records or indicates agency-wide applicability in the case of schedules that cover records that may be accumulated throughout an agency. This notice provides the control number assigned to each schedule, the total number of schedule items, and the number of temporary items (the records proposed for destruction). It also includes a brief description of the temporary records. The records schedule itself contains a full description of the records at the file unit level as well as their disposition. If NARA staff has prepared an appraisal memorandum for the schedule, it too includes information about the records. Further information about the disposition process is available on request.

Warning if you buy gift cards from Walmart!
Posted on 04/06/2018 | Comments Off on Warning if you buy gift cards from Walmart!
I'm not a fan of Walmart for a variety of reasons. There is one near my home but I only occasionally go there. Today I just wanted to pick up some gift cards for people who helped me during my recent hospital stay. Usually I buy gift cards from Giant Eagle when I'm there, but today decided to just run up to Walmart. I picked out the cards then proceeded to check-out. I inserted a credit card to pay for them. Surprisingly the credit card was denied!
Cashier said I couldn't use a credit card to pay for gift cards – nor could I use a check. Cashier said only cash or a debit card can be used at Walmart!!!!
With the credit card transaction denied, she then rang the cards up again and I inserted my debit card. Same issue as before. The card was denied!. The supervisor came over to help with the problem. She determined that the Visa phone line was down so couldn't activate the cards. After about half an hour, we learned the register system had deducted the money from my account but still wouldn't allow the sale of the gift cards. The supervisor gave me cash for the amount the register had deducted from my debit account and I left – without any gift cards.
My bank is in the same shopping center so I went there to deposit the cash that the supervisor returned to me.
Next I went to the Kroger store – same center – to buy cards. There I was able to buy the gift cards with a credit card with no problem.
UPDATE: I just checked my credit card to see if the first Walmart transaction that failed was by chance also charged to my account like it did the debit card. YUP! It was charged as well. Now tomorrow I must go back and "try" to get the charge off my credit card!!#*%#@%^*!
ANOTHER UPDATE 4/7: So today I went back to Walmart to get the charge off the credit card. I went to the "Customer Service" desk where the same supervisor was working. I showed her my paperwork that showed the charge against my credit card. She said she would have to get the Assistant Manager to approve. I waited 50 MINUTES for the Assistant Manager to finally show up. She said she couldn't issue a credit since the transaction showed as "Pending" and that it might still be cancelled. So now I must wait till the transaction no longer shows as "Pending" so I have proof that Walmart did indeed double charge me the $271! I kept my cool – sort of!!!!
ANOTHER UPDATE 4/9:I checked my credit card account this morning and the $271 charge was no longer pending but had become an actual transaction. So I went back to the store for my refund. In the interim days, the Assistant Manager had pulled off register tape for the two transactions. From it she learned the cashier had voided 3 of the cards but not the 4th. Thus the register tape showed a "Refund" of $164. But I was still charged $106. I noted that the $164 was NOT a "Pending" transaction and thus suspect. She called the Store Manager and of course, he agreed with her and wanted to wait for the "Return" to show on my account. He said it usually takes banks longer to post payments/returns than the actual charge. He would not take the charge off my credit card! So I must wait even more days to see what – if anything – is recorded to my account. What makes me so angry is this is due to Walmart's policy and screw-ups at the register. My only fault was trying to buy Gift Cards at Walmart!
FINAL UPDATE 4/11: I checked my credit card this morning to see if a Walmart refund had been issued for $164. It had – YAY! So I printed off the paperwork and returned to the store for the final refund of $106. Neither the Assistant Manager nor the Store Manager were there, so Customer Service called another Assistant Manager. That Manager wanted to know all the details of why he was being requested before he walked to the Service desk. When he arrived I explained the saga to him. He's only authorized to approve $100 refund! He called the Store Manager to verify that I did indeed have substantiating paperwork. The Store Manager approved the return. The Customer Service agent then gave me the refund in cash – not allowed to take it off the credit card. ???
I suggested they might want to put a sign on the Gift Card display to advise people that they can't use a credit card for the purchase because surely I'm not the first person to inadvertently use one for a Gift Card purchase. He indicated that it had sometimes been a problem. He said that people use Gift Cards as a way to launder money. I responded that all the Managers had treated me as if I were a thief and I didn't appreciate that. He said that a lot of Walmart customers try to scam the company so they must be careful. I guess Walmart considers its customers guilty until proven innocent! For me, Walmart Customer Service was a big FAIL!

CRFPD
Columbia Alert Network
Stations/Apparatus
Mission Statement / Values
Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District
Response Map
"Our mission is to serve the community through excellence in prevention and mitigation of hazardous situations with a safe and effective response."
The Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District provides Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services to the city of Clatskanie and over 135 square miles of rural area. Our main station is located off Hwy 30 near the Clatskanie River that flows through the town we serve. Our boundary extends outside the city North to the Columbia River, South over Clatskanie Mountain to a shared boundary with Mist, East to the Alston area to a shared boundary with Rainier, and West past the Woodson area to the Clatsop county line. Our EMS services extend into Clatsop County to Bradley Summit.
Our Staffing is a combination of both career and volunteer personnel. Our career staff includes our Chief, Assistant Chief, three Division Officers, and nine Firefighter/Paramedics who are all stationed at our main station. We have two substations where apparatus has been strategically housed to provide the best coverage for our district. All stations are supported by Volunteer Firefighters and/or EMT's who respond from home to the closest station when the call goes out. At this time we also have several Interns. Our Interns gain career-developing skills and earn college credits through the on-the-job training they receive working for the department.
The Clatskanie Volunteer Fire Department was organized around 1900. Our first motorized apparatus was a chemical truck on a Ford Model A chassis purchased in 1930. It was primary protection for the City of Clatskanie until 1944 when the city purchased and reconstructed a 1940 Ford truck into a 500gpm front mount pumper. In 1947, the city also obtained a 1942 500gpm Ford Pumper from war surplus.
On November 22, 1955 a Rural Fire Protection District was formed by the area surrounding the city and a 600gpm International Pumper was purchased. This engine served as a first line engine until the mid-1990's. Between 1955 and 1964, volunteer firefighters within the city responded to both city and rural district calls on apparatus owned by the city, and on apparatus owned by the fire protection district. During this time two additional stations were developed, Mayger Station and Delena Station.
Though their primary role was firefighting, the volunteers were active in seeing to the all safety needs of their community, such as in 1958 when they instigated a project to build the Clatskanie Swimming Pool after seven young children drowned over a three week period.
On April 10, 1969 the City of Clatskanie disbanded its own municipal fire department and annexed into the Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District. Also in 1969, the local funeral director, Gail Haakinson, announced that he would no longer run the ambulance service. Again the volunteers of Clatskanie stepped up and received EMT training to take over the role of ambulance provider. In July of 1970 a Chief was hired and the first district ambulance, a 1970 Cadillac, was purchased and Haakinson donated his 1961 Pontiac ambulance to the fire district as a reserve ambulance. In 1971 a Deputy Chief was hired full time.
Engine 486, a custom Mack, was purchased in 1972. Other apparatus have been purchased and recycled over the years including ambulances, engines, rescues, tenders, and two wildland deuce and a halfs.
In 1976, two Chiefs, two book keepers and approximately 65 volunteers operated out of the three stations. Apparatus included six pumpers, three tankers, two ambulances (one of which was a combination rescue/ambulance). They responded to an average of 55 fire calls per year. An average of 160 ambulance calls were made during this time.
Two additional firefighters EMT's were hired in 1978 and the following year a fourth station was added to the district in the Quincy area.
1979 saw the hiring of two dispatchers, each working eight hour shifts per day. The volunteers provided coverage during the unstaffed hours. June 1991 saw the replacement of district dispatchers by the Columbia 911 Communications Center.
Currently our district has a total of four structural engines, a telesquirt, two wildland engines, one rescue, three ambulances, and a water tender in service. Our career staff, Interns, and approximately 30 volunteers respond to over 1,000 calls per year out of three stations.

The US War on ISIS Is Costing a Fortune
More than a year and a half and $6.2 billion later, there's no end in sight.
It's been a year and a half since the United States launched Operation Inherent Resolve, unofficially declaring war on ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The numbers are already staggering: As of January 31, after 542 days of airstrikes, the cost of the campaign reached $6.2 billion, or about $480,000 for every hour of the campaign. And the expenses are set to grow: The Pentagon is asking for another $7.5 billion to continue battling ISIS—double the amount requested for 2016.
Beyond the money, the war itself is ramping up, including more airstrikes with fewer restrictions on civilian casualties and more special-forces troops on the ground. The scope of the battle has also expanded to Afghanistan and Libya (where last Friday airstrikes hit an ISIS camp). And as plans are being drawn up for major battles to recapture the ISIS strongholds of Raqqa, Syria, and Mosul, Iraq, there are calls for more US troops to be deployed in combat or advisory roles.
As Operation Inherent Resolve continues to escalate, here's a closer look at some of the stats behind America's war on ISIS.
So far, 37,000 bombs and missiles have been dropped, and 20,000 ISIS fighters have been killed, according to the Pentagon. US-led airstrikes wiped out hundreds of oil infrastructure targets and a cash storage facility believed to have contained millions of dollars crucial to ISIS's operations. The bombing has also taken a toll on civilians, though the actual numbers remain contentious.
US planes have dropped so many bombs and missiles on ISIS that the Air Force chief of staff has said the Air Force is "expending munitions faster than we can replenish them."
Officially, 3,650 American troops and contractors are currently involved in the campaign against ISIS. The actual number may be closer to 6,000.

Lazareeta Brings Alexandria's Street Food to Maadi
Egyptian AI-Powered Proptech RentUp Raises Six-Figure Investment
Nestled away in Maadi Zahraa, the restaurant aims to serve Alexandria realness and that's it.
Scene Eats VIEW ALL ARTICLES BY Scene Eats
You can't love Alexandria without loving Azareeta. Located in the heart of the Pearl of the Mediterranean, the gorgeous neighbourhood is stuffed with rich, delicious history. Like, rumour has it that it was named after an old Greek woman by the name of Mother Reeta who took care of everyone who lived there bazillion years ago. Mother Rita may not still be alive, however, her legacy has just arrived in Cairo (kinda) in the form of Lazareeta.
Nestled away in Maadi Zahraa, the restaurant aims to serve Alexandria realness and that's it. If you don't know what that means, it means that you don't have to leave Cairo to have some OG Alexandrian liver sandwiches that are drowning in a sea of creamy tehina. But there's more, you can also have Alexandrian hawawshi, mazalika (we know, right?) and hearts with kidneys if you're about that life.
Lazareeta delivers anywhere in Maadi, all you have to do is hit 'em up on +2 0128 886 8261.

Here's another photo I took strolling around at night in Asakusa in Tokyo. In these little alleys, there is an air of intimate and cosy homeliness, I guess this is thanks to the locals. On a micro scale, these alleys had a really neighbourly and friendly vibe, this is completely contrary to what I thought it would be like – another cold and impersonal metropolis. Asakusa is one of the oldest parts of Tokyo and yet not far from here the Tokyo SkyTree stands sentry like a gigantic glittering UFO. The whole of Tokyo calls out for attention and it's virtually impossible to absorb it all in one holiday….we will be back.


Before we address this rare and valuable species of algae, we think it's important to begin with what algae is. Algae is an underwater sea plant that contains certain skin care and nutritive properties. Algae has been known to significantly brighten the skin, thicken it, and does so much more. It contains numerous vitamins and a few of them are actually quite useful.
Since our focus is on Red Marine Algae or rather, the extract, we are concentrating on the age-reversing properties and antioxidants that this underwater marvel contains. There are a few thousand species of algae and they all contain chlorophyll – which functions as their primary sunlight processing pigment – but the thing that makes Red Marine Algae special, is it provides potent antioxidant protection against environmental elements and free radicals.
Our skin isn't as well protected as we'd like to think it is. There are a lot of dangerous skin damaging elements that roam about the environment. The sun for example, can damage our skin with ultraviolet light and make us look more older than we really are. Pollution isn't just bad for the environment, it's also terrible for our skin too. It breaks down the moisture retention system of our skin and causes wrinkles over time. These are just a fraction of the threats that our skin and, ultimately, our self-image faces from the environment each day. Although, they can't all be controlled, products containing Red Marine Algae extract can come a long way in limiting the effects of these environmental pollutants and free radicals.
Red Marine Algae extract, or Rhodophyta Seaweed, is so important for skin care because it's one of the few ingredients that is well-rounded. Red Marine Algae contains high quantities of peptides – which are instrumental for anti-aging products, sulfated polysaccharides, carotenoids, and fatty acids. All these components make up Red Marine Algae's extraordinary antioxidant properties. Individually, all these components are great, but put together, they might have the makings of the ultimate skin care plant.
Aside from its phenomenal antioxidants, Red Marine Algae is also known for its spreadable-nature and amazing texture. When applied to the formula of any skin care product they provide a unique softness and elasticity that makes the cream or masque malleable and soft. It spreads across wide areas of skin efficiently and helps with moisture retention in ways that you wouldn't believe.
It functions as a natural acne and pimple repellant. The antioxidants that can be found in Red Marine Algae make it a fantastic repellant against all forms of inflammation and environmental pollutants that can cause skin irritation, acne, and pimples.
On a related note, it also boasts of zero-irritation or side-effects during and after application. This is a rare feature that can sometimes be found in only all-natural ingredients like Green Tea extract.
Like we earlier stated, it contains peptides and for those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept, peptides are the big boys of anti-aging products. They are one of the main ingredients in most anti-aging products and they help the skin slow down the aging process and sometimes even reverse it. They achieve this by increasing the thickness of skin, therefore making it more elastic and reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Long story short, they are extremely important when trying to maintain that youthful glow and Red Marine Algae is full of them.
Red Marine Algae has seemingly made its way into almost every skin care product out there. It's phenomenal water retention capabilities and vitamin content make it a must-have when manufacturing moisturizers. Its antioxidants and peptides make it a core ingredient in the production of anti-aging products. And its texture makes it a vital part of clay masks and other important skin care products. It is truly the miracle substance or plant that ties all products together. It's very valuable and rare so products that use them can be a little bit more expensive, but with attributes that fits in every skin care line, it is worth the amount that you see on those price tags.


Just when a number of areas across the country are reporting higher incidences of Lyme disease (LD), Thomas Mather, a researcher with the University of Rhode Island, reported that ticks infected with LD are down 30% this year. He also stated that this SHOULD translate to 20 to 25% less Lyme cases.
A large number of new ticks surfaced without LD to bring the tick population 30% lower.
Frankly, I find even the suggestion of this to be ludicrous and irresponsible. It gives the public a false sense of security and essentially puts people at a greater risk of being infected.
Even the word "SHOULD" is a copout. It provides the speaker a chance to back-peddle if his estimates are incorrect. At the same time, those who let their guard down and contract Lyme become victims of his ill advice.
If I were to give Mr Mathers the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant that the new generation of ticks would be 30% less infected, there would still be generations of infected ticks out there. Just like any other season. The probability of contracting LD would essentially be the same.
Mr. Mather has since been awarded a grant for $1.3 million to study tick bite prevention. Will he be using this money to pay your medical bills?
Once again a budding professional is willing to sacrifice others for their own personal gain. Is anyone really surprised?
Don't be a victim of ambition. And don't let your guard down.

Isidore Isou vlastním jménem Jean-Isidore Goldstein (29. ledna 1925 – 28. července 2007) byl francouzský spisovatel a režisér rumunského původu. Je považován za zakladatele lettristů.

Roku 1942 založil směr, který se nazývá lettrismus, jeho podstatou je organizace písmen, kdy za základ tvorby považuje abecedu. Aby mohl vytvořit tzv. čistou prózu rozšířil abecedu a dalších 19 znaků. Téhož roku odešel do Paříže, kde žil až do své smrti.

V České republice (resp. Československu) je hlavním představitelem lettrismu Eduard Ovčáček.

OPINION PIECE - There's hope for SA: It's called 'citizen power'
I have seen the future and it really might work. If you consider that the biggest barrier to increasing the general prosperity of our nation is that we have a government of such unusual incompetence, arrogance, indifference and corruption that it is by now almost beyond measure, then consider how it has also created the conditions for us all to save it.
GENERAL NEWS NEWS OPINION PIECE OUTA
By Peter Bruce
What kind of government would plot and advance a project to buy nuclear plant for more money than it can earn without consulting the public?
What kind of a government would impose a carbon tax on an already stretched tax base in the full knowledge that it will not be used to reduce carbon emissions?
What kind of government would slip a tiny advertisement about urban e-tolling into the newspapers as a way of soliciting public opinion on such an important issue?
What kind of government blames officials for overspend on the presidential mansion, but never asks the president whether he ever considered that what he saw at his own home might have been costing quite a lot?
What kind of government spends R16-billion subsidising an airline used by rich people and then complains it cannot afford to restore land to poor people?
We have that kind of government and, because of our history, it is going to be like that for a long time. The ANC governs with impunity and until now it has been hard to stop.
Opposition political parties have been able to mount a court case here and there, as have rights groups and activists. But at some stage, the state always wins. It has the time and the money to defend the indefensible and the irrational.
It's the irrational that gets me. I understand the government is left wing and that many of its policies will therefore be useless and expensive. But there's a line between foolishness and financial improvidence that we as a society need to draw.
No government, surely, has an untrammelled right to waste money.
We know this because we've been taught so by the way Wayne Duvenage and the Outa organisation have stopped in its tracks one of the giants of state power, the South African National Roads Agency, from simply imposing new costs on people for doing what they do every day - going to work. Sanral is unable to collect the revenues it has tried to impose in Gauteng because some little guys stood up to it and won. And, when Sanral tries to prevent you renewing your car licence because you haven't paid your tolls, I suspect OUTA will stop that too. I know it will.
I heard Duvenage talk the other night and it is clear that this former business executive (he used to be the MD of Avis, so he knows a bit) has also seen the future.
It is called crowdfunding and it lives on the internet.
Duvenage wants to convert the trust OUTA has been able to build with the public to become a source of funding for a range of other causes where the state threatens to waste public funds without adequate justification (nuclear) or to raise pernicious and fraudulent taxes (carbon).
The big costs are always legal, but if you have 100000 people paying R150 a month to OUTA through a debit order, that's already R15-million a month. You become a serious force in the courts.
Fortunately, the government has been obliged to affirm its commitment to obeying court orders since allowing Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to enter the country and having to spirit him out again when a court ordered his arrest. A thousand explanations later, the courts win.
As I understand it, OUTA will use the money it raises to help civil activists pursue other irrational behaviour by the state in the courts.
Just imagine the predicament of Russian nuclear-reactor supplier Rosatom if a well-funded and grounded case is brought against the deal it is doing with the state. The state tells the Russians not to worry.
The Russians, though, cannot spend in the face of lingering legal uncertainty. By 2019, as Zuma leaves office, not a sod at any of the nuclear sites (still not disclosed to the public, by the way) has been turned.
This is active citizenship. It isn't subversive. It is responsible and effective.
I have just signed up on OUTA for a R150 monthly donation. It's an insurance premium I'm happy to pay.

FullertonWireless is a free wireless service of the City of Fullerton and its business community that provides Internet connectivity to visitors in downtown Fullerton.
The Redevelopment Agency for the City of Fullerton has authorized a pilot project to create a wireless mesh network in a 24-block area of downtown Fullerton. The mesh network is to be based on current standards-based technology. Access will be offered free of charge to visitors to the downtown area of Fullerton during the pilot project phase. The Internet must be accessible wirelessly in all outdoor areas of the downtown specified in the Scope of Work. Businesses must also have the option and the ability to extend coverage indoors with additional equipment.
If the pilot project is successful, consideration will be given to expanding the network into other areas of the City where many other institutions and agencies are likely to become major beneficiaries and supporters. Consequently, the wireless mesh network in downtown Fullerton must be designed with the capability of being able to support many additional potential users and applications.
A network that is owned by the City and/or a public-private partnership must be a turn-key installation that can be operated and maintained by a third party. We would like to initiate the trial of the wireless network in the downtown area beginning July 1, 2004 and continuing for at least six months.
At a meeting of the Fullerton Redevelopment Agency on March 16, 2004, the Fullerton City Council acting as Directors of the Redevelopment Agency, authorized the creation of "a wireless [mesh] network for subscribers in the downtown area". In its Final Report of July 2002, the Technology Infrastructure Task Force recommended the creation of wireless "hot zones" in the redevelopment areas. According to the request for funds, "downtown [Fullerton] offers an opportunity to initiate the program in a compact, mixed-use area that can serve residential and business needs." A wireless network will "provide promotional opportunities for the City and Agency, [including] recruitment of businesses to the area, and convenience to residents." The Agency also authorized the creation of a wireless network in both the Main Library and the Hunt Branch. This Scope of Work document, however, will pertain only to the pilot project for downtown Fullerton.
The Technology Working Group (successor to the Technology Infrastructure Task Force) and the City's Management Information Systems (MIS) staff will coordinate the planning and implementation of the program. Access to the network will be free to visitors to downtown Fullerton during the pilot project with a fee-based plan implemented later; possibly based on a public-private partnership between the City, the downtown businesses and the subscribers.
The wireless mesh network is to be based on current, wireless, standards-based technology. Serious consideration should be given to incorporating non-proprietary hardware and open source software in the network. Many small start-ups have fabricated standards-based equipment with proprietary features. The City does not want to be exposed to the risk of being responsible for equipment that is no longer supported by a vendor that has gone out of business.
The area to be included in the pilot project is the portion of Redevelopment Zone 2 bounded on the north by Chapman Avenue, on the east by Lemon Street, on the west by Highland Avenue and on the south by the railroad tracks. Also to be included is the area west of Highland that is bounded on the north by Amerige Avenue, on the west by Richman Avenue and on the south by the railroad tracks. This 24-block area includes government facilities such as City Hall, the police headquarters, senior center, and the Main library. It also includes the Boys and Girls Club, many restaurants, a major transportation center, small retail shops, small office buildings, banks, and urban apartment buildings with mixed-use development. Bordering the main area on the northeast is Fullerton High School and Fullerton College, both of which are interested in the deployment of wireless networks. The Internet must be accessible wirelessly in all outdoor areas of the downtown specified above. Businesses must also have the option and the ability to extend coverage indoors with additional equipment.
During the pilot project phase, access to the mesh network will be free to all users. Responsibility for the subsequent maintenance and operation of the network has not yet been determined, but because the purpose of the network is to promote the downtown by drawing persons and businesses to the area, we envision a public-private partnership between the City, the downtown businesses, and the users that will support the continued operation and maintenance of the network. If the pilot project is successful and the mesh network is expanded into other areas of the City, other institutions and agencies such as public safety, educational institutions, and medical centers are likely to become major beneficiaries and supporters. Police, firemen, and city workers in the field are likely to use the system for remote access to data files. Video surveillance for secure locations, certain public areas and traffic monitoring and control are other possible uses. The network may also be used to connect outlying government facilities such as fire stations and the city maintenance yard with City Hall and to provide redundancy to existing wireline networks. A network that is owned by the City and/or a public-private partnership must be a turn-key installation that can be operated and maintained by a third party.
The wireless mesh network must be expandable and scalable. The pilot project if successful may be only the first of several phases that result in major expansion of the network. Consequently, it will probably need to support multiple portals (downtown Fullerton, Fullerton College, school district, CSUF, SCCO, St Jude, etc.), multiple virtual private networks (VPNs), and a wide variety of applications and users. A plan for the pilot project should be considered to be a subset of a more generalized wireless masterplan for the whole city that addresses Quality of Service (QOS) issues. The plan will also need to address the security concerns of the various user groups.
Billing systems are a significant cost of operating telecom networks. Therefore, it would be desirable in the interest of simplicity and cost to make access as free as possible for all users. Conceptually, we may wish, if possible, to make access free to the public in only certain zones and place restrictions on the minutes of use. For example, in the downtown area the public might be limited to 2 hours of free use per device within a 24-hour period. Other zones, such as those covering educational institutions, may also want to provide free use to students, faculty, staff, and the public, but for more extended periods of time. If possible, priority of use by the general public should be given lower priority than use by public safety agencies.
The network must have some type of mechanism for recording the number of users at any given time and the length of use per connection. It may be necessary to monitor other parameters of use as well such as the intensity of bandwidth usage per person. Because it may be necessary to block users who are abusing the system, an Acceptable Use Policy will need to be developed and accepted by those who log onto the network.
Many of the businesses in the downtown area are unlikely to have extensive knowledge of the potential benefits of a wireless mesh network. Downtown businesses should be consulted regarding their participation and applications. An educational campaign may need to be conducted. Businesses may need to be convinced and provided assistance in installing access points within their establishments.
We would like to initiate a trial of the wireless network in the downtown area beginning July 1, 2004 and continuing for a period of at least six months.
The City is prepared to use its normal communication channels to invite citizens and visitors to use the wireless mesh network. The Chamber of Commerce has been supportive of bringing new technology to the City and will promote the network in its publications. A speakers' bureau can be created to make individuals available to community organizations that would like to hear about the network. Informative signage may also be posted in the downtown area.


'MJ' took a trip over the Solent to check progress on MBNA Thames Clippers' new 38m high speed catamaran in build at Wight Shipyard.
When we visited, the hull was shot blasted ready for primer, engines beds were being prepared for the twin Scanias and much of the passenger area insulation had been fitted.
The addition of Venus Clipper marks another impressive milestone of London's river bus operator and will add flexibility across its busy network of routes in what will be its 20th year of serving the capital's commuters and visitors.
Sean Collins, CEO and co-founder of MBNA Thames Clippers, said: "Everyone in the business is very excited about Venus Clipper and what it represents. I never would have believed when we started out that MBNA Thames Clippers would get to where it is today – a vital cog in London's transport infrastructure.
With a capacity of 222 passengers Venus Clipper has been designed with commuters in mind, with 50 more seats on board than its sister Hunt-class vessels Mercury Clipper and Jupiter Clipper, which joined the fleet in summer 2017. The new boat also features more tables, making it more adaptable for specialist charters and commuters alike.
The contract with Wight Shipyard Co to build Venus Clipper continues a long-running association between the two businesses and makes a significant economic contribution. In all, more than 100 businesses in the Southeast region are involved in the delivery supply chain.
Venus Clipper represents a £3.8 million investment for MBNA Thames Clippers and should enable the river bus service to carry an additional 300,000 passengers annually. The vessel will be used across the operator's six routes depending on demand, as well as to support specialist charters and cruise transfer requirements for the Central London Moorings.
This follows significant spend to improve passenger experience and accessibility to its services in recent years. Work has included an extension to the pier at Westminster in 2016 and an all-new pier at Battersea Power Station in 2017 (with 15 minute journey times to Central London). Future developments include a new pier at Royal Wharf due in 2019.
The business now operates four major commuter services and two associated tourist routes, and is recognised as one of the quickest and easiest routes in and out of London's business districts in the West End, City and Canary Wharf. MBNA Thames Clippers' six river bus routes call at 22 piers across London, connecting Putney in the west with Woolwich in the east, with integrated Oyster and Contactless payments allowing for easy Pay As You Go travel.
MBNA Thames Clippers' further boosted its role on the river earlier this year when it won the five-year contract to manage the Central London Cruise Moorings, alongside the Port of Tilbury. The deal sees the joint venture taking over responsibility for the smooth day-to-day operations of three moorings – Greenwich Ship Tier, Tower Bridge Upper and George's Stair Tier – on behalf of the Port of London. The contract includes transporting cruise passengers from their ships to the heart of London.
The build represents a continuation of a long tradition of lightweight aluminium boatbuilding on the Isle of Wight, which has encompassed flying boats and hovercraft as well as many fast ferries, several for MBNA Thames Clippers over the years.
Venus Clipper will be the 19th vessel in the company's fleet of fast ferries when it launches in the first-quarter of 2019.

NASHVILLE IN NEW YORK THE ALPHABET CITY OPRY BRINGS COUNTRY-WESTERN TO THE EAST VILLAGE
By Jim Farber
Outside, on Ninth St. and Avenue C, salsa music blasts from kids' boom boxes while homeless men and women line up for a daily food giveaway. Inside, at a dumpy club dubbed 9C, it's another time and place. Concert posters of Hank Williams hang on the wall. Images of cowboys and horses are the backdrop for a loudspeaker, while musicians armed with banjos and ukuleles holler out songs full of train whistles and whispering pines. It's music best associated with places like Nashville in the 1950s. So how did it end up on Avenue C today? Credit players like 31-year-old Greg Garing, a man hellbent on erasing the distance between the blue hills of Kentucky and the funky streets of the East Village. For five months, Garing and his regular gang of musicians the Alphabet City Opry have been packing this cramped club with fans. The loose collection of eight to 15 players meets each Monday over lap steels and dobros to bring alive the classic country and bluegrass styles of artists like Marty Robbins, Hank Williams and Bill Monroe. The room has drawn guest performers like Steve Earle, Rosie Flores and Glen Douglas, the son of Earnest Tubb. In the audience, celebrity sightings have included electronica wiz Moby and David Byrne, who, Garing says, "showed up in overalls.
" They can make it here Last week, the ragtag Opry tested the waters of a larger club for one successful night at the new Bowery Ballroom. This fall, Garing plans another showcase, at St. Ann's in Brooklyn, and with luck there will be a larger, permanent home to come. "The response to this music here has been better than anywhere else," Garing declares. "I disagree with every stereotype about New York as a difficult place. I've been treated here far better than in Nashville.
" Garing first assembled a group in country music's commercial home in the early '90s. Though he grew up in Erie, Pa., Garing moved to Nashville to see the roots of childhood heroes like Bill Monroe. He found only slickness and cynicism. So he went about seeding his own pure country scene at a club called Tootsie's, which eventually inspired stars like Lucinda Williams and Marianne Faithfull to sit in. But when he tried to build his own recording career, Garing got nowhere with the bigwigs on Music Row, and he came to New York two years ago to cut his critically acclaimed debut LP, "Alone.
" At first, he had trouble finding like-minded musicians here. "A lot of singers were into traditional songs, but not the musicians," he explains. Garing found his first ally in Rob Ryan, a dedicated follower of root American forms, after hearing him play in Washington Square Park. Other local musicians smitten by the music turned up later, like Little Mo, Uncle Bob and Mike Younger. Then, the idea came to Garing: "I wanted to set up a laid-back scene, a low-key place for my friends to play.
" Ichabod Crane meets Neil Young That certainly pegs 9C. The 700-square-foot bar holds only about 80 people, and there's no stage. The players crowd into one corner and holler into a big mike. The evenings, which start around 9:30, can sprawl on for hours, with Garing functioning as ringmaster. With his 6-foot-plus frame, rail-thin physique and bony face, Garing looks like Ichabod Crane doing an impersonation of Neil Young. His voice can also startle. He has a natural echo in his throat and a flair for rural yodels, giving him special facility for styles from rockabilly to old folk. At the expanded Bowery Ballroom show, Garing and fellow organizer Rachel Liebling featured film pieces projected onto a giant shower curtain, including footage of bluegrass musicians like the Stanley Brothers (doing "In the Pines"). "What we want to do eventually is to first have the old footage and then the real guys come to perform today," Garing says. The singer also wants to feature a broader range of styles at the larger shows. "We're going to go for all the music that led up to rock 'n' roll like traditional Irish music, blues, some jazz.
" He also hopes to get a local radio station to simulcast the shows weekly. "Just like the Grand Ole Opry," Garing says just transplanted to the great big city.

CONCERT REVIEW: Prieto urges Sarasota Orchestra to greater dramatic heights
By Gayle Williams , Herald-Tribune
/ Saturday, February 21, 2015
Two kindred spirit revolutionaries shared the headline in the most recent Sarasota Orchestra Masterworks series. It was a program split between the early Romantic Ludwig van Beethoven and the next generation's firebrand, Hector Berlioz, and led by guest conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 in B-flat Major, Op. 60 does not make the powerful statements of his "Eroica" Symphony No. 3 or the iconic "Fifth," but it bears the unmistakable mark of this young classicist determined to break new ground. In fact, only three years old when the Fourth Symphony premiered in 1807, Berlioz came to love the symphony's second movement so much that he claimed it must have been of divine origin, not human.

He could almost have said the same of the quality of this evening's performance with the Sarasota Orchestra, and not just the second movement. There was an extraordinary balance captured between the static and mysterious introduction and the buoyancy and spitfire that followed. With a clear nod to the classicism of Haydn, Beethoven takes seemingly orderly lines far beyond their comfort zone in bursts of passion. Prieto's leadership style was to sparingly suggest and get out of the way of the supremely musical Sarasota musicians.
I side with Berlioz in my own fondness for the pure floating lines of the second movement Adagio reminiscent of Mozart's well-known "Elvira Madigan" theme. We heard that graceful relaxed melody first in violins, next with the perfectly matched flute and bassoon, and later with clarinet in further development.
All Beethoven scherzos have a joyous quality, but this one's unceasing forward momentum is the result of displaced accents and a whole lot of energy which increased threefold for a Finale that shot off at a crisp speed. The timing and ensemble was razor sharp, yet Prieto pushed the tempo so that I feared for the ensemble. It was like watching Nik Wallenda on the high wire. We know he can do it, but ""what if...?"
All were safe and returned with nearly double the number of musicians for the work for which Berlioz is best known, his Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14. The full title in English is "Fantastical Symphony: An Episode in the Life of an Artist, in Five Parts," which is only the first of many signs of this artist's excess. Starting in relative sobriety, this programmatic symphony follows the love obsession of an artist, who in the end is on a psychedelic drug-induced trip of great proportions.
Prieto, comfortable in urging the orchestra on to ever greater excess and drama, nonetheless remained precise in his own technique. Some of the dramatic effects and orchestral colors may seem familiar today, but imagine the tremendous blasts of sound and passion rocking the houses of Europe in the 1830s.
The Sarasota Orchestra delivered and then some with notable solos in all the winds, an uber-powerful brass section and evermore polished strings. No wonder the audience couldn't stop its applause.

I am back again with a card I am really anxious to share with you. For those who have followed my blog for some time, you will not be surprised to learn that I loved making this card! It has so many elements in it that I consider to be among my favorites.
There are things that look elegant; things that look vintage. Things that make you think of romance, and an era of time gone by. There is a shabby-chic look to it, and a Victorian romance feel. I love how this card came out!
I love cameos! (Does that surprise you? lol!) This one was done using a stamp and then cut out and placed on dimensionals onto black card stock which was die cut using a tag from Spellbinder's Fancy Tag 3 set. Is that an awesome frame, or what? And I think the pearls all around really set the cameo off, don't you? I had fun working with placing it just right under the birds that are printed on the paper.
Oh, such beautiful lace! And by putting one on top of the other really added some great texture, especially so near to the distressed edges of the natural card stock. And as you can see in the close up, I stamped the base layer with a cheesecloth stamp in black ink, which looks very cool along side of the black lace.
And keeping with the romantic feel, I had to add a beautiful flower. Love this blue trellis rose from Prima!
Since I love using Scripture stamps, I thought this was a lovely one to compliment the card. It is from a Mother's Day set from Our Daily Bread Designs, but I think you could use it for many other occasions/reasons as well. I have also linked this card to ODBD's blog for their "stamping in time" challenge.
Thanks so much for visiting me and looking at my cameo card. Making it really got my "vintage mojo" going and I have since been working on a few more cards of this style. I will be posting them soon!
I hope you will come back and visit me agin soon!
Natural and black card stock- Stampin' Up!
Cheesecloth Background Stamp- Stampin' Up!
We are ready for another challenge from The Perfect Sentiment!
Last week's Thanksgiving challenge was so much fun; I loved seeing all the great entries that came in. Thank you to all who played; hopefully you will want to join us again this week! And to those who have not yet played- please get ready to be inspired- and to have a shot at a great prize, and join in the fun!
This week the challenge is to make an all-occasion card. The twist: To use this inspiration photo!
Well, I must say: this was an absolute challenge for me! I knew right away I just had to use those wonderful colors and duplicate them as best I could- and find a way to get lots of texture and some dimension going. I love the ruffles and the different materials in the picture and wanted to portray the feeling of what those fun pillows must look and feel like in real life.
I was really happy with how I was able to get the ribbons all together. But the center image was what stumped me! I tried a couple of different ones before I ended up with this one.
I considered coloring it, but in the end I felt that I really wanted the accentuation and all the colors to come from the ribbons which represented the pillows in the inspiration pic. The sofa kind of reminded me of the stool in the photo- the same color as the cushion, and just kind of "there", holding the pillows. So, I felt it best to leave the image just as it was so that the ribbons would remain the focus.
Here you can see some of the texture up close. My base layer was texturized using an embossing folder, as were all of the other card stock layers (except the image).
I love the colors of the ribbons, but also the textures. Isn't the pom-pom one awesome?
So there you have it. That's what this cool picture inspired me to make. What will you be inspired to create?
5 digital stamps of the winner's choice from Robyn's Fetish!!
And just one thing before you go off to work on your own card: Be sure to visit all of The Perfect Sentiment's design team members blogs! They have come up with some really wonderful cards that I am sure will inspire you!
Thanks for visiting me again this week! I'd love to hear from you so if you'd kindly leave a comment I'd so appreciate it! Have fun creating; see you again soon!
Various ribbons used- including SU! Marina Mist satin; Groovy Guava Stitched Grosgrain and Tangerine Tango Pom Pom ribbon.
Sentiment/ Image from SU! Please Be Seated stamp set stamped in Soft Suede ink onto SU! Very Vanilla card stock and die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities die.
My First Card For Classy Cards 'n Such!
I was so excited to share my latest news with you this morning! And now, I am back again to show you my first card as a guest design team member for Classy Cards 'n Such!
The beautiful patterned paper is from Prima's Romantique 6x6 paper pack.
I love the soft white swirls and flowers along the edges and in the corners.
I stamped the sentiment (from SU! Refuge & Strength set) onto white card stock which I had die cut using one of the Spellbinder's Fancy Tags Two dies. I added a coordinating silver Nestabling rhinestone tag over it.
After hanging a silver cross charm from white satin ribbon, I added a sweet little Lotus Bloom from Webster's pages on top of the bow. I love these flowers!
Notice how nicely the bow came out. That's because I used my Bow-Easy :-) What a great little tool that is!
Pearl stickers in the corners add a nice soft touch without covering too much of the pretty paper's print. Behind is a layer of vellum card stock which I had distressed. Everything was layered on top of a gray card stock base.
So there you have it: My first card for Classy Cards 'n Such! Please be sure to stop over to their blog to see my card there- as well as all the great cards from the design team!

It's November! (Can you believe it?!) And over at The Perfect Sentiment our challenge this week is to make a Thanksgiving card. Of course, as with all the challenges at The Perfect Sentiment, there is a "twist" to it. This week it is to incorporate brads or eyelets in your Thanksgiving card.
When I made mine, our temps were in the 80's, so it seemed pretty early to be creating this Fall card. But, in the few days since, our nights have been cooling down and we are supposed to get some daytime highs only in the 60's this week. For Southern California, that's getting quite chilly! And looking at the calender and seeing November now, well, my card doesn't seem quite so seasonally inappropriate anymore!
I hope you can see there is a lot of texture in this card. For starters, I roughed up the edges, and chose felt for the falling leaves. The satin ribbon adds some softness.
This rosette made using Tim Holtz's die was a great way to add texture and dimension for the center of the card. The large brass brad in the center is one of my faves from Stampin' Up!
The other brad I used was for the bird's eye. And as you can see here, the die cut doily in the background also gives some added texture.
I outlined the oval frame with copper Stickels and love how that looks. Then, I added another falling leaf.
After the card was finished, I sprayed it with a lot of Tattered Angel's glimmer mist in their Wheatfields color. I love all the shimmer from it!
(Regretfully, if you are a prize winner who lives outside of the United States, we are unable to award you a physical prize. By the time we have to do the customs paperwork and everything associated with sending parcels out of the United States, it always costs more than what the prize is worth in most cases, and this includes Canada, unless you have a Post Office Box in the United States. APO and PPO box addresses are considered US.) If you live outside of the U.S. and you win we will award you with a digital prize that can be sent electronically via email. Thanks for your understanding.
Please be sure to hop on over to check out Stacey's blog and to see her great Thanksgiving card, too!
Stampin' Sisters In Christ -Use Fall colors in your creation (crimson, orange and gold or similar).
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will be inspired to join in and make your own Thanksgiving card. And if you'd take a moment to leave me a comment, I'd truly appreciate it!
