The Mogami Gold Instrument Cable comes in assorted lengths for a variety of applications.
Mogami is famous for neutral sound quality and very low noise. Recording professionals love them because it does not alter the sound of their talent before they get the chance to record it. They approach instrument cables exactly the same way.
Every foot of Mogami cable is manufactured by craftsmen in a single factory in Japan, which is still run with pride by the founder of the company. A precisely wound 100% coverage shield made from individual strands of copper keeps electrical noise out without compromising tone as other shields can. Insultations are chosen for purity of sound, and long term stability. All aspects of the cable were designed with one goal - capture the sonic envelope of the instrument it is plugged into without coloration, noise, or loss.
Since Mogami refuses to tune cables for colorations that flatter someones idea of how they like sound, you get more of the instrument and style you are playing. Remember, cables are passive devices - cable cannot add to an instuments sound, only remove information from it. Whether you play bass, electric, or acoustic with a pickup: the more you like the sound of your instrument, the more you will like the sound of this cable.
Wasn't sure if the cost over other, somewhat less expensive, name brands would be worth it or not. Well.....suffice it to say that I won't be buying anything else from now on. This is a Great cord.
These are fantastic cables. The have oxygen free copper wiring and a spiral shielding. The spiral shielding is another layer of defense against outside interference. The gold plating on the connectors is an excellent conductor to send your signal on its journey. These cables are absolutely worth the price. Your signal will never be clearer.
These work as expected! Fit perfectly and seem very durable.


A political retaliation lawsuit filed in 2014 by a Jersey City cop arrested on DWI charges is all but dead following an appellate court ruling on June 4 saying the remaining counts in the suit should be dismissed.
Michael Lang had accused ex-chief Bob Cowan, then deputy chief, and his brother, Capt. Tommy Cowan, of arresting him after a night of drinking in 2013 because Lang supported then-Mayor Jerramiah Healy's failed re-election bid. Bob Cowan was on now-Mayor Steve Fulop's side.
Lang, who has been on the force for 11 years, was involved in an altercation at a gas station on June 9, 2013, after drunkenly leaving Healy's Tavern, police said at the time.
Lang allegedly refused a breathalyzer test and was charged with DWI. A municipal prosecutor tossed the charges against Lang in 2014 after saying the officers did not have probable cause to arrest him. None of the officers involved in the case showed up to testify in municipal court. Lang filed the lawsuit after his charges were dismissed.
But in 2016, a judge dismissed all counts against Bob Cowan and a political retaliation charge against Tommy Cowan, saying there was not enough evidence to support Lang's claims that his arrest was the result of him supporting Healy over Fulop.
Fulop won the 2013 mayoral election a month before Lang's arrest and later promoted Bob Cowan to chief of the department. Fulop demoted Bob Cowan a year later and the two are no longer allies.
Tommy Cowan appealed the 2016 ruling that allowed the malicious prosecution and false arrest allegations against him to proceed. The appellate ruling says the lower court judge should have dismissed those charges too because a "reasonable police officer could have believed there was probable cause" for Lang's arrest.
The lawsuit is being sent back to the trial court for dismissal of Lang's counts against Tommy Cowan. Lang's lawyer and a city spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment.
Bob Cowan called the lawsuit another "bogus lawsuit which was encouraged by elements of the police department that did not like working nights and weekends when crime occurs."
"It is interesting to see the appellate court did find probable cause as well as the fact that the 'blue wall of silence' was alive and well in Jersey City when the police officers weaseled out of their duty to go to court," he said.

Equinix launches data centre in Melbourne, up and coming smart city
Catherine Knowles
A new Equinix data centre has opened in Melbourne Australia, a city that is quickly becoming known as a leading smart city.
This is Equinix's fourth International Business ExchangeTM (IBX) data centre in Melbourne. Known as ME2, the new facility supports the growing demand for digital transformation globally, as well as Melbourne's smart city development and the interconnection needs of local customers, including The Salvation Army, the company states.
Digital innovation is transforming the ability of today's businesses to extend market reach, respond flexibly to new customer requirements and deploy the controls needed for security and compliance, Equinix states.
The complexity behind the evolving digital economy requires businesses to extend network infrastructure to the edge to be in close proximity to their customers and partners for secure data exchange and seamless digital experiences.
This added data centre and interconnection capacity in Melbourne will help with those initiatives and smart city evolution. Melbourne was recently recognised as the world's sixth most advanced smart city, according to a recent report from Oracle and ESI ThoughtLab.
The ME2 IBX is located in Melbourne's Fishermans Bend region, Australia's largest urban renewal project, which is forecast to be home to approximately 80,000 residents and provide employment for up to 80,000 people by 2050. Companies operating at the ME2 IBX can leverage the ecosystem of approximately 10,000 businesses currently operating on Platform Equinix globally.
The facility is expected to play a key role in supporting Melbournes smart city development, the company states.
The ME2 IBX is a US$77.5 million (approximately A$116 million) facility that includes more than 29,300 square feet (2,730 square meters) of colocation space. Once fully built out, the facility will include more than 88,000 square feet (8,190 square meters) of colocation space.
The facility offers a wide range of interconnection options, including Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric (ECX Fabric), an on-demand, SDN-enabled interconnection service that allows businesses to connect between its own distributed infrastructure and any other company's distributed infrastructure.
ECX Fabric provides access to a range of cloud service providers in Australia including Alibaba, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, SAP Cloud, Oracle, SoftLayer as well as many local providers, plus access to major network service providers including Telstra, Optus and Vocus, Equinix states.
Located adjacent to the ME1 IBX with a secure pedestrian footbridge between the buildings, the ME2 IBX will benefit customers expanding from ME1 to ME2 with a single security ingress point, Equinix states.
The proximity of ME2 to ME1 allows for expansion of services for existing Equinix ME1 customers and partners. The ME2 IBX also benefits from Equinix Metro Connect connectivity to the ME4 IBX in Derrimut, which is about 19 kilometers away, providing customers with the ability to support geographical diversity and redundancy as needed to support full business continuity within the state of Victoria.
As the only location in Victoria with direct access to Victoria Internet Exchange and the Australia Singapore Cable (ASC), Equinix's Melbourne campus offers connectivity to more than 50 network service providers.
The city of Melbourne is increasingly experiencing digital transformation and is predicted to have a digital economy worth approximately A$51billion (US$36 billion) in 2020, according to the company. Equinix's Melbourne data centre campus enables companies to digitise their businesses by embracing cloud applications from more than 80 Cloud and IT service providers.
As part of its multi-cloud strategy, The Salvation Army moved its key infrastructure to Equinix in Melbourne, while shifting critical business applications across workplace productivity, human resources and more to Software-as-a-Service.
Capitalising on the economy, Equinix continues to expand its national footprint to meet the rising demand for interconnection.
In 2019, Equinix launched its eighth Sydney data centre, SY5, and completed expansion of its second Perth facility, PE2. With today's opening of ME2, Equinix has a national footprint of 17 data centres across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide and Brisbane, with four in Melbourne.
Since entering Melbourne in 2015, Equinix has built an ecosystem with more than 220 customers across multiple industries. The network effect of this growth creates increased need for further data centre capacity to support businesses increasing migration towards the digital edge.
Equinix president Asia-Pacific Jeremy Deutsch says, "The value of smart cities has become increasingly recognised and is now a key priority for markets across the Asia-Pacific region as they continue to grow their digital economies.
"Equinix is dedicated to support this development by connecting people, businesses and industry so they can better interconnect at the digital edge. Our investment in the Australian market reflects our commitment to our customers as they continue their digital transformation journeys."
Equinix Australia managing director Guy Danskine says, "Five years ago, we entered the Melbourne market with our ME1 facility. In that short time, we now have four sites in two distinct campus locations across the city, containing a flourishing ecosystem that enables secure, high-speed, low-latency connections for our customers and partners.
"This new IBX demonstrates our continued commitment to the Victorian and Australian digital economies, creating a place where our customers and partners can interconnect across our national footprint of 17 highly connected data centres."
IDC Asia/Pacific associate research director, telecommunications, Nikhil Batra says, "Melbourne has a long-term vision as a smart city to adopt useful innovations that fold seamlessly into how we live, work and play.
"Equinix's investment in the city, which started with ME1 a few years ago, is now continuing with the opening of ME2, driven by the growing interconnection requirements of a flourishing smart city.
"Melbourne is leading the enterprise transformation charge in Australia, where organisations are focusing on customer experience transformation, and business process optimisation in order to build the digital enterprise of the future."

Media Release: Clapham Common tennis facilities officially unveiled
TENNIS in Clapham received a substantial boost today after the new tennis facilities at Clapham Common were unveiled thanks to a major £250,000 grant from Lambeth Council and the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), with support from Sport England.
To mark the unveiling, local MP, Kate Hoey. and representatives from Lambeth Council joined local school children at the redeveloped tennis park site in London where the pupils enjoyed a tennis session with Marin Cilic, the world number 12 from Croatia as well as British number one doubles pair Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski who are all in London ahead of the AEGON Championships
The project was completed after Clapham Common received the funding to refurbish eight courts and provide modernised floodlights to dramatically improve the tennis offering at one London's most popular open air spaces and enhance access tennis opportunities for the local community.
Lambeth Council, which manages the facility, received nearly £100,000 from the LTA to help improve playing opportunities for the local community, with the council contributing around £150,000. The funding from the LTA is part of the LTA's drive to get more people – of all ages and abilities – playing the game.
Speaking after the opening, Derek Prentice, head of Sport and Recreation on Lambeth Council, said: "Clapham Common now has some of the best facilities around thanks to this investment, and I'm delighted that Marin Cilic, Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski, have taken time out of their busy training schedules to come and pass on tips to some of our Lambeth school children.
"One thing is certain; this investment means thousands of people in Lambeth now have access to public tennis courts that meet the highest national standards. Helping people lead active lives by making sure they have access to top sports quality facilities is one of the council's main priorities, so it's great to see these fantastic courts officially open and being used by so many people."
Roger Draper, LTA chief executive, added:
"We're committed to expanding opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to play tennis, and investment in parks is a key part of that drive.
"Thanks to the support of Sport England, the LTA is delighted to have invested in Clapham Common and we look forward to working with Lambeth Council and our partners the Tennis Foundation to further develop tennis in this part of London in the future.
"Tennis is already one a thriving, growing sport, but working with Sport England, AEGON and local and national partners, we're committed to making it even bigger."
Richard Lewis, Sport England's chair, said:
"It's vital that public funding for sport goes into facilities that meet the highest standards, are welcoming, and cater for everyone.
"That's how we're going to get more people using them every day. The refurbishment and floodlighting project at Clapham Common will offer brand new all weather courts that meet the demand of the modern game whilst offering the local community some of the very best sporting opportunities available."
The funding has been provided as part of British Tennis' Places to Play strategy which has received substantial investment from Sport England through its Whole Sport Plan funding for tennis.
This makes a crucial contribution to tennis' drive to increase the opportunities for people to participate, compete and get access to coaching at all levels of the game in communities nationwide.
The LTA makes financial support available through its resources and ensures investments will deliver the maximum return for British tennis through more people playing and more hours on the court across Britain.
Its investment will increase the number and standard of facilities nationwide which will be available to the whole community at a reasonable, affordable cost.
* James Munro, LTA head of Media: James.Munro@lta.org.uk 0208 487 7118 / 07957 959 340
* James Savours, London Borough of Lambeth, Press Officer: jsavours@lambeth.gov.uk<mailto:jsavours@lambeth.gov.uk> / 020 7926 2559
The total costs of the redevelopment will be around £250,000: the LTA has contributed £99,385 with Lambert Council contributing the remainder.
Sport England is a major investor in British Tennis through the LTA, supporting its work to increase and sustain participation, identify and develop talent. Sport England's funding for tennis is through the LTA's Whole Sport Plan for British Tennis, an investment of £26.8 million over the period 2009/10 – 2012/13, including £15.4 million in facilities improvements.
Improving places to play is a major priority for British Tennis. All clubs receiving investment are required to be Tennis Clubmark accredited, or working towards Tennis Clubmark, and are required to demonstrate increases in participation as a result of the investment.
Lambeth Council has made major investments in sports facilities over the past few years as the country prepares for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Investment has included £2.85 million spent improving Brixton Recreation Centre in 2006, £1.2 million on a range of new facilities at Kennington Park in 2007 including a new multi-use games area (Muga), improved the astro-turf pitch and upgraded the tennis and netballs courts.
The council has also worked with the NBA to improve basketball facilities on Clapham and attracted investment for a new Muga in Knight's Hill.
Work began last month on a brand new leisure centre in Clapham that is scheduled to open in late 2011.

It's Possible To Wash Away Negative Energy in the Shower—Here Are 7 Affirmations To Help
by HEBELOFT Office Admin November 30, 2021
An affirmation is a short and powerful statement that you say to yourself in order to reinforce your beliefs and behavior. For instance, if you repeat "I am worthy" to yourself in the mirror every morning, you're better equipped to start your days from a place of confidence and empowerment. And, just like affirmations can help you access sentiments and attitudes for self-improvement and self-love, they can also function as a vehicle to help you release that which doesn't serve you. Shower affirmations can help you cleanse yourself of unwanted energy (as the water is literally cleansing you).
A guiding reason showers are a great and powerful place for an affirmation practice is because they present an opportunity to "reset" our mind, says Jerico Mandybur, creativity coach and author of Daily Oracle: Seek Answers from Your Higher Self. In addition to helping us snap out of whatever funk we may be feeling or wake ourselves up to start a fresh day or any other transformative goal, showers require us to be present in that moment, and reciting shower affirmations gives us the opportunity to really engage with the now instead of mulling over the past. "Whether or not you believe in energy in the magical sense, we can all benefit from carving out time in our day to create a container in which we can slow down and embrace the present moment," says Mandybur.
According to Susie Moore, life coach and author of Stop Checking Your Likes: Shake Off Your Need for Approval and Live an Incredible Life, affirmations work best when they're repeated daily because they focus the mind in a positive direction. And depending on the cadence you typically shower, shower affirmations naturally lend themselves to such a daily practice.
Ahead, find seven shower affirmations to help you release tension on a daily basis.
7 shower affirmations to help you wash away negative energy
1. "I charge this water with cleansing and purification."
Sending your energy to the water with this affirmation can help you feel less stressed and anxious because you're inviting the water, by way of your shower affirmations, to help you reach a more pure state of mind.
Mandybur says that this affirmation "speaks to that long-term impulse we humans have to use water to help us feel not only clean, but restored and revitalized, emotionally and spiritually."
2. "May this water wash away anything that isn't serving me."
Reflect on people in your life who you've identified as not serving you. Perhaps it's a friend who you feel isn't there for you in the same way that you are there for them. Or maybe it's something that you've been holding on to—anger, resentment, or hurt—that you know isn't good for you and that you've realized you need to let go. "I suggest doing a little visualization and making the mental intention that this shower and the water you are bathing in is cleansing and clearing your energy as you speak these mantras out loud," says empowerment coach Natalia Benson.
3. "With this cleansing of my body, I start over."
"Cleansing ourselves serves more than a practical purpose," says Moore. In order for our shower to fully cleanse the negative energy we might be experiencing, she encourages people to check in with themselves before and after they shower.
Some questions to ask yourself: How do I feel as I go into this shower? How do I feel now that I've taken this shower? The former question can help you identify which feelings you need to let go of in order to start over, while the latter question can bring about gratitude that'll have you feeling better post-shower.
4. "I feel fresh, alive, and beautiful."
This mini mantra is perfect for boosting self-esteem, which also offers a multitude of well-being benefits. The affirmation also has a built-in gratitude practice by way of the word "alive," because the implication is that being alive is just as important and wonderful as feeling fresh and beautiful (which is, of course, true).
5. "I love and thank my body for everything it does for me."
Moore suggests saying this affirmation as you scrub yourself clean so that you have a chance to engage with your entire body and make this affirmation more powerful.
6. "I am powerful and at peace."
Repetition is key when you're learning, and that holds true with an affirmation practice. With that in mind, saying these specific words as a shower affirmation will help you internalize power and peace, Benson says.
"When you create intention—even with something as seemingly mundane as a shower—you can experience more peace, empowerment, and confidence in other areas of your life, because you are cultivating deeper self-awareness," says Benson.
7. "I am safe and sovereign right now."
"Being intentional [or sovereign] in any part of our life is extremely empowering and peace-inducing," says Benson, who suggests changing your perspective surrounding showering. "Imagine your shower time is very simply a cleansing [practice] that releases your day and everyone else's expectations or energies and returns you home to yourself."

Diplomas of French (DELF)
Diplomas of British Sign Language (Level Award in British Sign Language)
DELF and DELE are internationally recognised and enjoy great prestige not only among public and private educational institutions and authorities, but also in the business world and chambers of commerce. They constitute a guarantee in assessing and evaluating linguistic competence in French and Spanish respectively.
They are also lifelong certifications which do not expire and can enrich a person's professional portfolio: they describe in meaningful terms what someone is capable of doing in French and Spanish and can be added to a CV and be recognised by employers or universities.
In many countries, these diplomas have been adopted by educational authorities and accredited schools as a compliment to their own evaluation systems. They are useful to facilitate promotion at work and access to education.

Roland, Norbert W; Olesch, Martin; Schubert, Wolfgang (2011): Geochemistry on rocks from Shackleton Range. PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.763853,
Supplement to: Roland, NW et al. (1995): Petrogenesis of the metasediments from the pioneers escarpment, Shackleton Range, Antarctica. Polarforschung, 63(2/3), 165-182, hdl:10013/epic.29720.d001
During the GEISHA expedition (Geologische Expedition in die Shackleton Range 1987/88), the Pioneers Escarpment was visited and sampled extensively for the first time. Most of the rock types encountered represent amphibolite facies metamorphics, but evidence for granulite facies conditions was found in cores of garnet. These conditions must have been at least partly reached during the peak of metamorphism.
For the Pioneers Escarpment a varicolored succession of sedimentary and bimodal volcanic origin is typical. It comprises: quartzites muscovite quartzite, sericite quartzite, fuchsite quartzite, garnet-quartz schists etc.; pelites: mica schists and plagioclase or plagioclase-microcline gneisses, aluminous schists; marls and carbonates: grey meta-limestones, carbonaceous quartzites, but also pure white, often fine-grained, saccharoidal marble, or a variety of tremolite marble, olivine (forsterite) marble, diopside-clinopyroxene-tremolite marble, etc.; basic volcanic rocks: amphibole fels, amphibolite schist, garnet amphibolite, and acidic to intermediate volcanic rocks: garnet-biotite schist, epidote-biotite-plagioclase gneiss, microcline gneiss.
These rocks are considered to be a supracrustal unit, called the Pioneers Group. In the easternmost parts of the Pioneers Escarpment, e.g. at Vindberget, nonmetamorphic shales, sandstones and greywackes crop out, which are cover rocks of possibly Jurassic age. These metasediments, which represent a quartz-pelite-carbonate (QPC) association, indicate that deposition took place on a stable shelf, i.e. on the submerged rim of a craton. Marine shallow-water sedimentation including marls and aluminous clays form the protoliths. The volcanics may be part of a bimodal volcanics-arkose-conglomerate (BVAC) association.
Geochemical analyses support the assumption of volcanic protoliths. This is demonstrated especially by the elevated amounts of the immobile, incompatible high-field-strength elements (HFSE) Nb, Ta, Ti, Y, and Zr encountered in some of the gneisses. Microscopic investigation suggests the existence of ortho-amphibolites. This is confirmed by the geochemistry. A bimodal volcanic association is evident. The amphibolites plot in both the tholeiite and calc-alkaline fields. The acidic volcanics are mainly rhyolitic.
The sediments and volcanics were subjected to conditions of 10-11 kbar and 600°C during the peak of metamorphism, i.e. granulite facies metamorphism, which can be deduced from the Fe mole ratios of 0.71-0.73 in the garnet cores. Due to the relatively low temperatures, no anatectic melting took placc. The rims of the garnets show a Fe mole ratio of 0.84-0.86, and the coexisting mineral association garnet-biotite-staurolite-kyanite indicate amphibolite facies. The thermobarometry shows P-T conditions of 5-6 kbar and 570-580°C for this stage.
The metamorphic history indicates deep burial at depths down to 35 km (subduction?) i.e. high pressure metamorphism, followed by pressure release due to uplift associated with retrograde metamorphism. This may have happened during a pre-Ross metamorphic event or orogeny. The Ross Orogeny at about 500 Ma probably just led to the weak greenschist facies overprint that is evident in the rocks of the Pioneers Group.
Finally, sedimentation resumed in the area of the present Shackleton Range, or at least in the eastern part of the Pioneers Escarpment, probably when detritus from erosion of the basement (Read Group and Pioneers Group) was deposited, forming sandstones and greywackes of possibly Jurassic age. There is no indication that these sediments belong to the former Turnpike Bluff Group.

Dacron versus polytetrafluoroethylene for Y-aortic bifurcation grafts: A six-year prospective, randomized trial
P. Polterauer, M. Prager, T. Holzenbein, J. Karner, G. Kretschmer, M. Schemper
Semmelweis University
Background. A prospective, randomized trial was conducted to compare Dacron with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) in reconstructive aortoiliac surgery. No comparable trial with a prospective, randomized design with a comparable number of patients or an equal long-term follow-up period can be found in the literature. Methods. Between 1984 and 1989, 165 patients were randomized for either Dacron or ePTFE on the basis of age, sex, indication for surgery, diabetes, nicotine consumption, runoff, and operative approach. The two groups were well matched for randomization criteria, as well as the incidence of aneurysms. Results. No statistically significant difference was found between the two graft materials in terms of patency rates (corrected 3-year patency rates: Dacron = 95% vs ePTFE = 95%; Breslow, p = 0.83; Mantel-Cox, p = 0.74). Subgroup analysis comparing long-term patency rates of the two graft materials and relating them to poor runoff, good runoff, aneurysms, and arterial occlusive disease also failed to show any significant differences between ePTFE and Dacron. Early graft failure (n = 6; 3.6% of the patient population; p = 0.045) and severe abdominal graft infection (n = 3; 1.8% of the total population) were seen only in ePTFE grafts. However, these did not affect the corrected long-term patency rate of ePTFE grafts. There were five late graft failures with PTFE (3.0%) and four with Dacron (2.4%). Conclusions. Graft materials currently available for aortoiliac repair were comparable in terms of corrected long-term patency rates. The alleged advantages of PTFE were not confirmed by our data. PTFE grafts were associated with a higher rate of complications, and more redo operations were required to duplicate the results obtained with Dacron.

Santiago in the Dominican Republic is, arguably, the "mecca" of the world's cigar producing cities. Though Havana may have the romantic edge in the cigar game, the Dominican Republic has been at the forefront in cigar manufacturing innovations and is one of the largest tobacco-producing nations in the world.
Below: Doc and Hendrik Kelner Jr.
In the past year, I've visited 8 cigar factories in 4 countries. But nothing has prepared me for the wonder of the Davidoff factory. The current, state-of-the-art facility, was dedicated in 1998.
My visit started on the morning of January 17, 2008, when I was introduced to Hendrik Kelner, president of the Tabadom company, makers of Davidoff, The Griffins, Avo, and several others. I was also introduced to Eladio Díaz, Director of Quality Control, and to Hendrik Kelner Jr., son of company president and one of the administrators of the company. Hendrik Jr., has been part of the cigar manufacturing business since he was old enough to walk. He is a real student of the industry and I was very impressed with his command of every aspect of the cigar manufacturing process.
Hendrik was my guide and tutor for my day at Davidoff. He started by offering me a cigar, an unbanded experimental blend, as it turned out. Then we hit the trail to tour the massive facility, which contains three separate rolling galleys, and has a cafeteria and box factory on the premises.
Davidoff, in my opinion, is in a category all by itself. It's not just the size of the factory, because I've seen other large factories, but it's the operations and the quality control. I was impressed by the quality control. There are more supervisors in the Davidoff factory than I've seen anywhere else. They've got a supervisor in the rolling galley stationed at about every third table. These supervisors make an initial check of the finished cigars and pull out and note any rejects. Then, the cigars are taken to another station where another control person checks the cigars. Then the cigars are measured and weighed, which constitutes yet another check of the cigars.
After lunch, we stepped into the Davidoff rolling galley. This is the largest of the three rolling galleys. I was able to meet some of the supervisors who told me about the rolling, sorting, and quality control processes. Davidoff uses a computerized control system to accurately keep track of all product that is manufactured. Whether good product, or rejects, all must be accounted for and rejects are tracked to their source rollers who can be instructed and/or retrained to improve the quality of their output.
One of the differences between Davidoff and some of the other factories that I've visited is that Davidoff only uses draw-testing machines on very thin ring gauge cigars. All of the regular gauge cigars are checked and rechecked, all by hand. Given Davidoff's reputation for producing quality sticks, I attribute their ability to maintain such high quality to the sheer number of quality control supervisors who together represent numerous check stations to weed out poor product.
Cigars that are poorly constructed are referred to as "rejects." Rejects are first broken in half, and then are thrown into a large box. At the end of the day, the wrapper leaves are stripped away. These will be sold to companies who will use them for chewing tobacco. The filler in the rejects will be sold to companies for use in machine-made cigars. Pretty high quality machine-made smokes, if you ask me.
I spent a good part of my afternoon trying out experimental cigars. Eladio Díaz has the enviable job of testing new blends. His desk is piled high with wheels of cigars, which he proceeds to pluck out one-by-one, trim, light, and smoke throughout the day… sometimes two at a time. The task of creating new blends is very time consuming and requires testing many different blends. Though the master blenders can tell you what characteristics each tobacco type has, they cannot predict how the tobaccos will mix until they actually blend them together and smoke them. It is a time-laden, trial and error process, and one that I would LOVE to try my hand at for a few weeks, if not months.
Perhaps the highlight of my day came when I asked a question that I often ask cigar manufacturers. "How much does the wrapper contribute to the overall flavor of a finished cigar?" The answers have varied from manufacturer to manufacturer. But Hendrik Kelner Jr., who has studied this question at length, had a sensible approach. Hendrik told me that the real answer is: "It depends…" He said that, on the average, the answer would probably be around 40%, with some cigars being affected more or less than that average, depending on the individual factors. The factors that have the most influence on how much a wrapper leaf will contribute to the overall flavor of a cigar include, size and tobacco blend.
For example, a cigar's ring gauge plays an important role. A smaller ring gauge (RG) cigar has a higher percentage of wrapper to filler. There's just about the same amount of wrapper leaf in a small RG vs. a large RG cigar, but definitely less filler. Obviously the wrapper in a thin gauge cigar will contribute more to the overall flavor than the wrapper in a thick gauge cigar.
Also, the part of the tobacco plant that makes up the filler blend contributes greatly to the difference. The tobacco leaves at the top of a plant, are thicker, have more resins and have a stronger flavor. If more of the filler tobacco is comprised from leaves from the top of the plant, then that will reduce the effect of the wrapper. But, if the cigar blend uses more tobacco from the lower part of the plant, which has a less penetrating flavor, this will allow the wrapper to assert itself more.
The same is true of the wrapper leaf. If the wrapper comes from the top of the plant, it will have a greater impact on the overall flavor, compared to a wrapper from the lower part of the plant.
Now, that makes a lot of sense to me and, had I left at that point, I would have had a better understanding of how a wrapper affects the flavor of a cigar. However, I wasn't done yet. Because Hendrik was just getting started.
He designed an experiment to demonstrate how the wrapper leaf affects cigar flavor. Here's what he did. He called down to the factory floor and asked one of the supervisors to bring up a three identical cigars, but with three different wrapper leaves. The cigars were identical, in ring gauge, length, filler and binder, but had different wrapper leaves. They took the wrapper leaf off of two of the three cigars and replaced the wrappers with two different ones.
The cigars that were chosen were cigars with a fairly mild blend. The first cigar, with the original wrapper, which was a Connecticut Shade grown in Ecuador, exhibited a grassiness and a light spice. The second wrapper, which was a hybrid of Cuban seed and Connecticut seed also grown in Ecuador, had a rich tobacco sweetness and had a medium spice. The third cigar wrapper was a Cuban seed grown in the DR. This cigar was very full in spice and had woody flavors. All three were really different. I never expected that the differences would be so dramatic. I was thoroughly impressed with the experiment and the results. But, as it turned out, we still weren't done yet.
Hendrik called back down and ordered up two more cigars. These were identical cigars again, but this time they had the same wrapper leaf. The wrapper leaf, however, was taken from a different part of the plant. One was taken from a higher part of the plant (the 5th priming), and the other a lower part of the plant (from the 2nd or 3rd priming). Again the differences in flavor were substantial. The cigar with the wrapper from the lower primings was light, grassy and had some light spice, while the cigar with the wrapper from the higher priming was full-flavored with rich tobacco sweetness and full in body. Once again, there was a big difference, attributable only to the difference in wrapper leaf. Absolutely amazing. This experiment was the actual proof that the wrapper leaf contributes hugely to the flavor of a cigar.
I will not soon forget my trip to Davidoff. Though I had a certain respect for Davidoff prior to my visit, I can tell you that my respect has now flown off the charts. This is a quality company that sets a high standard within the cigar industry.


It cannot be denied that many Filipinas find Korean men generally more attractive than Filipinos. The realization of this fact has been the subject of countless online flame wars and cause for insecure "Pinoy Pride "chest-beating every other time a K-Pop boy group or Korean matinee idol visits the country to a giddy reception from (mostly) Filipina fans.
This admiration of Korean men doesn't necessarily mean that Filipinas would rather marry a Korean, nor get into a relationship with one. It does, however, give Korean men who do want to go out with Filipinas a huge advantage over most Filipino men.
Regardless of whether you have a morbid curiosity about the phenomenon or simply want to harness that Korean kamandag for yourself, it's worth knowing the five biggest reasons Pinays find Korean men so attractive.
It's normal for most people to be intrigued about what it would be like to date or be intimate with someone from a different culture. There's a kind of thrill that comes with being just a bit alien that makes most people swoon.
As when it comes to dating other foreigners, the cultural differences make the matchup (or the idea of one) just a bit more titillating. The fact that Korean men are so obviously different from most Filipinos also adds a bit of intrigue that stimulates the imagination.
Almost as important as the differences, however, are the similarities. Koreans may be foreigners, but they also share many of the same values as Filipinos, in terms of how we treat our families, our collective nature, and our collective exposure to both Eastern and Western culture.
It's also important to note that most Koreans are also quite familiar with Christian practices, and many are also Christian themselves. This makes it easy for many Filipinas and Koreans to interact with each other.
We've all heard the odd Filipina proclaim that she wants light-skinned babies. It's no secret that most Filipinas see people with lighter skin a more attractive. And given that most Korean men have lighter skin, to begin with, this gives them an edge over the average local when it comes to attracting Filipinas.
While there may be a bit of a racial element to it today, this local preference was once almost universal across different cultures, as the lack of a tan usually meant that a person worked indoors, and was probably wealthier. This preference for lighter skin was apparent even in Western countries, and skin lightening was all the rage in Victorian Europe. In the West, however, this preference started to disappear when Coco Chanel started wearing a tan in the 1920s.
This preference for lighter skin did not go away in Asia, however, and the pattern was further reinforced in the Philippines thanks to lighter-skinned colonizers. Even if they were not always wealthier than the locals in all cases, there was and continues to be a very definite pattern where darker-skinned people tend to earn less and have fewer opportunities in life compared to lighter skinned folks. This tends to mean that lighter skin was often seen as more desirable.
And you don't need a sociology degree to see that this is the case. A cursory check of the people you see outdoors and the people you see gracing the inside pages of local lifestyle magazines and TV programs tends to show more lighter-skinned folks in the latter. Most Filipinas grow up seeing this all around them, and it's no surprise that they will find lighter-skinned Korean men attractive as well.
We all knew this was coming. It's no secret that Korean men earn several times more than most Filipinos. Even with their high living costs, they are able to comfortably afford a quality of life in terms of material items much better than that of the average Filipino.
Most Filipinas tend to be somewhat pakipot about whether or not they would go out with a guy simply because of money. Most would hesitate to say it outright, but it's pretty much obvious to anyone with a functioning set of eyes that in reality, plenty of Filipinas are really just after a guy who can buy her the nicer things in life.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. If money is what turns you on, that's really your own business. However, given that the lowest wages in South Korea earn you roughly between P60,000 and P72,000 equivalent per month, it's clear that the average Filipino simply cannot compete if the woman he wants is simply after money.
The South Korean cultural juggernaut has been steadily taking over the world since the 2000s, and there's no sign of it slowing down. Korean food, dramas, music, fashion, cosmetics, and films are extremely popular locally and they no longer all that exotic for most Filipinos.
However, Korean cultural exports are often seen as superior to local equivalents. We'd be lying or delusional to think that this isn't for good reason. The quality of Korean cultural exports quite often blows away both local and Western counterparts out of the water, as evidenced by the fact that Korean culture is quickly taking over most of the Western world as well.
This "Koreans do it better" idea has been floating around in the country for well over a generation at this point, and the idea is so pervasive that even local and foreign companies try to produce items with a bit of Korean flair in them. It's no wonder that younger Filipinas are especially drawn to Koreans, given that everything they're associated with seems to be just better, overall.
It's also worth noting that a lot of the popularity of Korean culture also has to do with official Korean foreign policy. While the Chinese try to win the world over with loans and cash assistance, the South Korean government has thrown its weight behind Korean popular culture in an attempt to create a market for its products and increase tourism in the country. So we guess you can bring up that tidbit the next time someone brings up K-Pop in a conversation.
Let's face it – Filipino men tend to be quite sloppy when it comes to personal grooming and fashion. The rise in the men's care market seems to indicate that we're certainly slightly less grungy than we were in the 90s, but compared to Korean men, there simply is no comparison.
Korean culture puts a huge emphasis on outward appearances. While self-care, grooming, and fashion are often seen as effeminate and undesirable pursuits by many Filipino men, Korean men simply do not see it the same way.
Being a "pretty boy" is seen as desirable in Korea, and as a result, Korean men tend to invest more time and money in self-care, cosmetics, and fashion compared to most Filipinos. They generally tend to watch what they eat and try to keep themselves healthier than most Filipinos, not because it's necessarily good for them, but because it helps them be more attractive.
The result is that Korean men's "hotness baseline", if such a thing exists, is higher compared to our own, regardless of how ugly we all really are, underneath all that BB cream.
Why do you think many Filipina girls go for Korean men? Tell us your titillating theories below.

Any idea about Chennai Public School Anna Nagar??
other than this in and around ashok nagar, psbb, vani vidyalaya, la chatleine all admissions processig over..or atleast application issuing over..
kendriya vidyalaya - only from first std...otherwise that is best school..
It's so kind of you to reply. Yes i have contacted couple of schools this morning and they all have closed the applications. They wanted me to contact them after Jan 15th.
Your comments on Calibre Foundation also welcome.
Thanks for the info. Let me check out seed then......i have just contacted Kanchana Patti Daycare & Preschool. Going there by this evening with my wife.
Could you tell me the landmark of SEED in ashok nagar and also their fees structure.
SEED is an amazing playschool.
Kanchana Paati will suit better for Parents who opt for Day car. They take care of providing food to the children(Parents need not send them). Else it is more or less like any other play schools.(with the kind of activities tat they have for playgroup/preschool).
Many thanks for all for your valuable guidance & suggestions. I'm trying hard to get my child start his education this year. Will update you all once i get. Until then please update your comments & suggestions which could help my child in a big way!!
My daughter went to Kanchana paati,Ashok nagar for her play school.Its very good.She really enjoyed it there.The teachers were very kind and friendly.
Wish you & your family a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
In the past one week i went and checked couple of Preschool's around ashok nagar, k.k. nagar and honestly not feeling good. Today i went to SEED ashok nagar, they told me to come around 5pm .
1. How is your child doing after going to SEED?
3. Are they giving importance to communication (English)?
4. What are the extra curricular activites they do?
Any other information which would help me to decide.
I hope you will reply asap. I'm keen to get this update because i'm going to start his education from a pre-school & not a big setup school.
Thanks & Wish you too a prosperous New Year.
Many thanks for your detailed response. I went to SEED around 6pm with my wife & kid, met Miss. Thulasi she is really very kind and have given a detailed brief about the school, the curriculum & the activities. She took us to the different rooms of study and explained about the methods of learning. I found it interesting however as you said i also felt that the place is cramped.
She said the fees is 3k registration+9k X 3 terms and the same would increase this year.
I don't think the methodology they follow is montessori and the teachers are not graduated either for kinder garden/montessori/ nursery. Which is making me think otherwise. Your comments on this would be appreciated.

Aging Ills Reversed in Mice
Scientists Tweak a Gene and Rejuvenate Cells, Raising Hopes for Uses in Humans
By Gautam Naik
Updated Nov. 28, 2010 12:01 am ET
Scientists have partially reversed age-related degeneration in mice, an achievement that suggests a new approach for tackling similar disorders in people.
By tweaking a gene, the researchers reversed brain disease and restored the sense of smell and fertility in prematurely aged mice. Previous experiments with calorie restriction and other methods have shown that aspects of aging can be slowed. This appears to be the first time that some age-related problems in animals have actually been reversed.
Two mice involved in an experiment on age-related degeneration. Mice whose telomerase gene was activated showed notable improvements.

The study was published online Sunday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature.
"These mice were equivalent to 80-year-old humans and were about to pass away," says Ronald DePinho, co-author of the paper and a scientist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. After the experiment, "they were the physiological equivalent of young adults."
The institute is a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. The first author of the study is Mariela Jaskelioff at Dr. DePinho's lab.
Although the finding is compelling, it remains to be seen whether the approach can slow the signs and symptoms of aging in people. The latest results were obtained with mice that were specifically altered to age prematurely. And while the animals showed no signs of tumors, there is a risk that the technique could trigger cancer.
The experiment focused on telomerase, an enzyme that makes small units of DNA that seal the tips of chromosomes. These DNA units, known as telomeres, act like the plastic caps at the ends of a shoelace, preventing the chromosomes from fraying and the genes inside them from unraveling. In 2009, three U.S. scientists won the Nobel Prize in medicine for illuminating the mysteries of telomerase.
New Lease on Life
How scientists partly reversed age-related degeneration in mice
Scientists engineered prematurely aged mice that developed age-related problems; testes produced little sperm, brains stopped producing new cells and sense of smell atrophied.
They injected the mice with a drug that switched on a gene, which stimulated telomerase production. That lengthened the telomeres that cap the ends of chromosomes and keep them from fraying.
In the treated mice, their testes produced new, viable sperm cells, their brains began producing new cells and their sense of smell returned.
The treated animals went on to have a typical lifespan, though they didn't live longer than normal mice.
Many different stimuli conspire and contribute to the aging process. The telomere is just one of them and likely not the most dominant. In normal tissue, telomeres get progressively shorter as part of the aging process, causing cells to stop dividing. As a result, stem cells go into a state of quiescence, organs atrophy and brain cells die.
As people age, low levels of telomerase are linked to the erosion of telomeres. Dr. DePinho and his colleagues wanted to see if by reactivating telomerase in mice they could halt—or possibly reverse—the shortening of telomeres, and thus turn back the clock on some aspects of aging.
The team made genetically engineered mice that aged prematurely. The animals had short, dysfunctional telomeres and suffered a range of age-related problems. Their spleens were atrophied, their intestines were damaged, and the sense of smell was impaired.
The brains were also shrunken, and the animals were incapable of growing new brain cells. Male mice had smaller-than-normal testes and produced depleted amounts of sperm.
"We stacked the deck against us and asked: Is there a point of no return?" said Dr. DePinho.
The researchers had devised an estrogen-based drug that would switch on the animals' dormant telomerase gene, known as TERT. The drug, in the form of a time-release pellet, was inserted under the skin of some mice. A similar pellet without the active drug was given to a separate group of control mice.
A month later, the treated mice showed surprising signs of rejuvenation. Overall, their telomeres had lengthened and the levels of telomerase had increased. This woke up the dormant brain stem cells, producing new neurons. The spleen, testes and brain grew in size.
In addition, key organs started to function better. The treated mice regained their sense of smell. The male animals' once-depleted testes produced new sperm cells, and their mates gave birth to larger litters. The treated animals went on to have a typical lifespan, though they didn't live longer than normal mice.
The reversals of age-related decline seen in the animals "justify exploration of telomere rejuvenation strategies for age-associated diseases," the paper concludes.
One worry is cancer. Tumors somehow turn on the telomerase gene, allowing cancer cells to divide continuously. Up to 90% of human cancers require certain levels of telomerase to do so. Indeed, many researchers are trying to deactivate telomerase as a cancer-fighting strategy.
Still, turning on telomerase for controlled periods of time might be useful. The strategy might one day have a role in treating rare genetic disorders that are linked to telomeres and cause premature aging, such as Werner's syndrome, according to Dr. DePinho.
The telomerase technique may also be relevant for people who age normally—provided it is clear that prolonged telomerase reactivation doesn't trigger tumors in later life.
Statistically, people with longer telomeres in their blood cells have an increased number of healthy years beyond the age of 60, Dr. DePinho said. And those over 60 with the shortest telomeres have higher rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's.
Dr. DePinho said the next step was to try the technique on normally aged mice to see whether it can slow, halt or reverse signs of aging in them.

Brimmer and May School Innovation Space
Newton, Massachusetts
Creative thinking, collaboration and community is at the core of the addition and renovation project at the Brimmer and May School. The new and re-purposed spaces foster active learning at the co-ed, independent Pre-K-12 school, while helping students develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills enhanced by the use of emerging technologies.
Our design reflects the educational intent by expressing a full range of fabrication through the raw concrete floors and exposed structure and mechanical systems, contrasted by the refinement of the central stair, walls, ceilings, and casework. Fiber cement planks wrap the building's exterior, responding to the dark-shingled houses of the school's historic neighborhood, while the transparency of the building outwardly displays the innovation happening inside. The new innovation lab and dedicated maker space support hands-on learning while the flexible student commons provides spaces to support group work, independent thinking, and project-based learning.
Client: Brimmer and May School
Size: 13,000 square feet

"Perkins&Will engaged teachers and staff to determine the optimal types of spaces required to teach students, to drive creativity, and to foster a sense of community. This project has created a flexible, open space where students naturally gravitate."
– Judy Guild, Head of School
The design reflects the educational intent of the building–innovation and making–through the raw concrete floors, exposed structure, and mechanical systems to the contrasting refinement of the stair, walls, ceilings, and casework.
Mosaic thinking, collaboration, and community drove the planning of the project by ensuring that each space was flexible enough to support a variety of activities, experiences and uses, and the changing pedagogy of teaching and learning. The design supports the STEAM program by incorporating a large flexible innovation lab, maker space, break out rooms to present, collaborate and brainstorm, and a STEAM room that can be used for all types of science learning.
By re-organizing the program along a main circulation axis and clearly indicating the entry, the project provides a new identity for the school.

Creed was a clinic on how to reboot a fallow franchise. Stallone had redeemed his character with the better-than-it-needed-to-be Rocky Balboa in 2006 and there was no call for a return, but Ryan Coogler's 2015 picture was the best entry since the first one back in 1976. It tells the story of the illegitimate son of Rocky's greatest enemy and greatest friend, Apollo Creed. Adonis "Don" Creed (Michael B. Jordan) is hungry to be a fighter, and goes to Rocky in Philadelphia to get trained. Along the way he falls in love with Bianca (Tessa Thompson), a musician who's losing her hearing. Everything about it worked—from the performances, to the anthemic score, to the training montages—everything that once felt played out was fresh again.
Of course, its success means the franchise must continue, but this time the freshness has gone off. Creed II is just OK. Following the triumph of the last one, it sure is predictable.
It picks up with Don now the heavyweight champion, fighting the obnoxious thug who beat him early in the last picture and won his classic Mustang. No surprise, Don wins back the wheels, but just as he does, a new contender surfaces: Victor Drago (Florian Munteanu), the enormous son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), the Russian boxer who killed Apollo Creed in the ring and who Rocky fought and beat in Russia back in Rocky IV. It was 33 years ago, but apparently not long enough for Baby Creed to forget. Rocky doesn't want him to take the fight, but Don feels he must, even though he has a lot of other things to contend with, like Bianca being in a family way.
Do you think Don goes through with the fight, against Rocky's wishes? Do you think Don wins? And do you think this sets up another fight later on, one he has to train for that much harder in order to get back the eye of the tiger?
Coogler's presence in the director's chair is deeply missed. Caple Jr tries to match his style, but there's something tentative in the works. He's just going through the motions, hitting the beats of what a Rocky movie is supposed to be rather than putting his own mark on the story. The fight scenes are fine without being genuinely stirring or doing anything we haven't seen many times before. A surprise appearance by a familiar face in the second act briefly enlivens the film, but then it's a slog right through until the final fight. All the baby stuff is deadly dull, and the immense talent of Tessa Thompson is barely put to good use until that last 20 minutes. Jordan is a charismatic presence as always, but the writers have given him an arc that feels as if Don Creed learned nothing from the last film, having to go through it all again. And Stallone, inhabiting his most famous role with ease, has one great scene with Lundgren, but otherwise shadowboxes through the picture, moaning about his lost connection with his son.
If there's a promise of something new here, it's in the father-son dynamic between Ivan and Victor, and what happens to them from the beginning through until the final, bloody showdown. It's something about forgiveness and compassion. After the rebirth of the hero in the last picture, this film could've offered the rebirth of the antagonist. It would've required more imagination and risk-taking at the script level, but instead Creed II chooses a safer route, telling an over-familiar story one more time.

There's a lot to be said for putting one foot in front of the other every day, unwavering in focus and commitment. Madison Elementary School has done just that throughout its partnership with SWIFT Center. In spite of its small size—fewer than 135 students, grades K–6—the school initiated, embraced, and mastered the use of Distributed Leadership to drive their continuous improvement cycle.
Madison Elementary School is part of School Administrative Unit 13, nestled in the White Mountain Region of New Hampshire and home to the largest free-standing boulder in NH (everyone is famous for something, aren't they?). Madison faculty review and prioritize their Vision Statements every year. They stay true to a Distributed Leadership model by being flexible, embracing change as needed to support their processes, and working to ensure clear communication among all stakeholders.
This year, the leadership team restructured its membership in order to ensure clear and frequent communication within the building and common understanding of their Continuous Improvement Cycle. Each grade level sends a different faculty member every month to attend leadership team meetings with the Principal, Title I Coordinator, and special education teachers. Faculty members share information from these meetings with their grade level teams. This new process ensures that every faculty member has face-to-face time with the Principal and other school leaders, and that every voice in the school is heard.
It has been a pleasure to watch the process of continuous improvement at Madison Elementary School over the past few years. The leadership team keeps an eagle-eye focus on MTSS. This year they are evaluating data to inform their current PBIS practices and using stage- and driver-based action plans to implement appropriate supports. The team also prioritizes implementation of appropriate interventions for their students at the Tier Two level in reading and mathematics, and continues to develop knowledge and application of UDL practices schoolwide.
Madison Elementary School exemplifies a "can-do" attitude. They maintain a clear focus, use data to inform and prioritize the implementation of evidence-informed practices, and ensure that all faculty are up-to-date and engaged in the day-to-day work of continuous improvement. Madison Elementary School is forging the way to positive outcomes for all students!

You may remember Ally and Ian's wedding from back in 2012. When I first saw their ornate chalkboard sign I immediately had to pin it on Pinterest. The frame in the photo was very familiar to me, but I couldn't place or tell you why. Later that day, I received a message from a fellow pinner saying "It's a mirror from IKEA $20 painted with chalkboard paint." I was so excited after receiving that message that I couldn't get to IKEA fast enough.
When it comes to DIY projects I want easy, cheap and quick with an end product that looks expensive, store bought and posh. This DIY project has met its match! Chalkboard signs are sill hugely popular and are a great communication tool for your guests. Take a quick read through my DIY tutorial on how to make an ornate chalkboard sign for your wedding day.
Tip: Most glass and mirrors come out of their frame quite easily. With this IKEA frame, I felt that if I bent the metal pieces that hold the mirror in backwards, they might break off. So I decided to keep the mirror in the frame and paint around it.
Step 1: First, cover the black frame in painters tape. I originally didn't do this because I thought I could get away without it. Take it from me, cover it properly using the tape. Then cover the rest of the frame with scrap paper.
Step 2: Paint the mirror with one coat of primer. I bought a spray can of primer but still needed to use a paint brush to touch up the edges near the frame.
Step 3: Let the primer set and dry.
Step 4: Using chalkboard paint, add a thin layer of paint to the mirror. Let the paint set and dry for an hour and and then paint on another coat. For a smoother looking finish, you may want to use the spray can of chalkboard paint instead.
Step 5: Once dry, peel tape away and voila – you have made a cheap and posh ornate chalkboard frame!
Tip: When you go to write on the chalk board, wet the chalk first. This will brighten and make the color stand out more, it will also make the lines thicker and cleaner. In between words, keep wetting the chalk.
Here is the finished product from my wedding day. I took it one step further and painted the frame gold.
Keep in mind all the supplies can be used again for other projects.
