Mark Haworth-Booth discusses the issue of photography and truth, ranging from the mid nineteenth century era of Roger Fenton and Camille Silvy to 9/11 and the recent G20 demonstrations in London.
Mark Haworth-Booth has had a major curatorial and scholarly influence on the development of photographic culture in Britain. After studying English at Cambridge and art history at Edinburgh, he worked at Manchester City Art Gallery, before moving to the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), London, in 1970, retiring as senior curator of photographs in 2004. He has curated numerous exhibitions and published widely, including Photography: An Independent Art (1997), a study of the V&A's collection, Things: A Spectrum of Photography, 1850-2001 (2004), and The Art of Lee Miller (2007). He is Visiting Professor of Photography, University of the Arts London. Presented in association with Ryerson University and the Toronto Photography Seminar.
I saw this when I was 6 years old and it made such an impression on me that I can clearly remember the exhibit, especially the golden death mask. I've waited 30 years for it to come back! I urge anyone with an interest in history to go see this.
I remember going with my family to the AGO exhibit in Toronto in 1979 when I was 9. A great experience and it coincided with a class project we did at the same time on Egypt that helped us all to learn more about its history.
I had a chance to see former King this past winter in Egypt and was amazed by the complexity of the ancient work. If you can make it to the gallery, it's absolutely worth the trip. Welcome back to Canada King Tut!
I remember seeing the exhibit as part of a school trip in '79 as an 11 year old – I always had hoped it would return to Toronto but gee I didn't think it would take 30 years! Anyway better late than never – I can't wait to see this.
Exhibition curators Gerald McMaster and Joe Baker, Globe and Mail art critic Sarah Milroy, and professor of African and African Diaspora art history and visual culture Salah Hassan discuss the exhibition Remix: New Modernities in a Post-Indian World.
The provocative question – "Are we past the age of an aboriginal art show" – was posed by the Globe and Mail's art critic, Sarah Milroy, as a lead in to her review of Remix. While this question caused quite a commotion within the Aboriginal art community, it remains a key issue for present and future practice.
Indeed, are we past the age of an aboriginal art show, or any exhibition organized around identity? Are the issues and problematics that gave rise to a host of identity-based exhibition in the 1990s now completely resolved? Can an exhibition that considers hydridized identity formation be something other than an essentialist trap?
Joe Baker is formerly curator at the Heard Museum and now the Director for Community Engagement, Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University. He is also the co-curator of Remix.
Sarah Milroy is former editor of Canadian Art magazine who has written widely on Canadian art and is currently the art critic for the Globe and Mail.
Salah Hassan is the editor of NHK: Journal of Contemporary African Art; Professor and Director of the Africana Studies and Research Center;professor of African and African Diaspora art history and visual culture,Department of History of Art and Visual Culture, Cornell University.
Gerald McMaster will be the moderator. He is curator of Canadian art, Art Gallery of Ontario, and co-curator of Remix.
Presented in collaboration with Planet IndigenUs, an international, multi-disciplinary contemporary art festival celebrating innovation, adaptability and evolution of indigenous identity.
You may have noticed the drawing stations throughout the Gallery – lured by the colorful pencil crayons and drawings on display. Celebrating Creativity, an interactive project, was already in place before the AGO's transformation, and as the gallery expanded, so did the response to these activity stations. Celebrating Creativity allows visitors of all ages to respond to art work, by making art.
"We want people to be involved, its just one of the ways we encourage visitors to engage with art," explains Shiralee Hudson, AGO's interpretive planner.
Nine drawing and talk back stations are currently set up in various locations in the gallery, fully equipped with pencil crayons and double sided drawing cards so visitors can get creative. The activities change as the exhibitions change. For example, the question "How can artworks inspire and provoke social and political change?" was used for the Angelika Hoerle and Cologne Progressives exhibition, allowing visitors the opportunity to respond.
Celebrating Creativity has received such a great response from visitors that the AGO publishes up to 80 drawings a month on Flickr.
The National Docent Symposium is coming to Canada for the first time!
This conference is designed as a professional development and networking opportunity for volunteer educators and staff working in the cultural sector. Hosted by the AGO, the theme, "Crossing Borders: Bridging Cultures" allows docents and educators to explore and expand the boundaries of their work with visitors and collections. From Wednesday, October 14 to Saturday, October 17 the symposium's thought-provoking program has been created to stimulate and challenge.
The symposium is made up of keynote speakers, panel discussions, presentations and workshops; as well as site visits and receptions. Presenters represent Canadian and U.S. cultural institutions both large and small, from Honolulu to Halifax. Speakers range from story-teller Dan Yashinsky to the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, former Governor General of Canada. In addition to the AGO, delegates will participate in programs at seven other institutions who are generously opening their doors: the Bata Shoe Museum; the Gardiner Museum; the McMichael Canadian Art Collection; the Royal Ontario Museum; the Textile Museum of Canada; the Toronto Zoo; the University of Toronto Art Centre.
Receptions at the AGO, the Bata, the Gardiner and the Ontario Science Centre add to the opportunities to network and to visit collections. Delegates will have a unique opportunity to share experiences, suggestions and techniques with colleagues and return home energized and eager to incorporate new ideas into their work with visitors.
For more information, please see the National Docent Symposium homepage.
Evan Penny's Stretch #1 from 2003 is one of the most popular works at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Visitors love to stare at Stretch's huge stretched silicone face (almost 3 meters long!) and peer into his big watery eyes. They also love to draw it. Check out these visitor sketches of this popular sculpture. Visit the AGO's 5th floor to see it for yourself.


Ne ho parlato alcuni mesi orsono (25.04.10), riprendo l'argomento oggi. Una delle conseguenze delle crisi tuttora in corso colpisce il personale. Tutti sanno che in Italia l'occupazione non sta aumentando. Non solo, ma sento che le aziende stanno prendendo molte precauzioni. Assumono con contratto a tempo determinato oppure, meglio ancora, a partita IVA, oppure sulla base dei risultati raggiunti entro un certo termine, oppure ancora assumono con remunerazione fissa molto bassa e incentivi molto alti. Tutti escamotages per non impegnarsi con contratti a tempo indeterminato. La ragioni sono evidenti. Le aziende sono state scottate dalle esperienze passate. Oggi temono anche l'acqua tiepida. In compenso sono disposte a riconoscere premi importanti a fronte di risultati crescenti.
Come sempre, sono le persone che dovranno adattarsi alle esigenze delle aziende e non viceversa. Se così è, chiunque cerchi lavoro dovrà mostrare un atteggiamento non solo disponibile, ma anche capace di affrontare situazioni diverse.
Competenze specifiche + Disponibilità = Competenze distintive.
Questo è il paradigma innovativo che ognuno dovrà fare proprio in futuro per aumentare le proprie possibilità di dare continuità al proprio lavoro, una volta ottenuto. Non credo che i 25 dirigenti alle dirette dipendenze del CEO Marchionne siano tutti così felice di lavorare ai ritmi attuali. Ma hanno accettato. Questa è una versione moderna di contatto di reciprocità, di storica memoria.
E' possibile che il paradigma indicato sopra non assicuri continuità di lavoro. Sicuramente fa acquisire maggiore esperienza e sicurezza in se stessi.

This London Flat Is the Perfect Mix of British and Parisian Style
Welcome to jewelry designer Anissa Kermiche's lovely abode.
By: Leah Faye Cooper
Step into Anissa Kermiche's London flat, and you'll quickly notice the jewelry designer's penchants for bright colors, oversized plants, and naked bodies, the latter of which much of her work mimics. "I hate boring and common," she says—a sentiment that becomes more and more evident as you observe chairs shaped like hands, a photograph of topless women mounted above the fireplace, and a vibrant handwoven rug that was passed down from her grandmother.
Born and raised in France, Kermiche worked as a consultant in the engineering field before moving to London to pursue jewelry design. "[It] was like breaking up with corporate life," she says of the move. "I was looking for discovering, and as bad as it sounds, I wanted to stay away from the French crowd." After living in a few different neighborhoods, Kermiche settled in Marble Arch. "There's noise and pollution, and it's just what I like," she says. "It's buzzing. Quiet streets really stress me out—I need to be constantly stimulated." As for what drew her to her current apartment, it was a bit of what she was trying to get away from. "It has these high ceilings and wood floors and great molding. It reminds me of Paris [laughs]."
Click through for a tour of Kermiche's home, her decor philosophy, and the story behind her namesake jewelry brand.
"I feel like, as my fashion style evolved, my interior design style evolved as well. I had that Danish moment where I wanted white walls and Danish design and a lot of light; white rugs, plants—kind of Instagram-like and a bit cliché. Now I'm evolving. I think that in your 30s, you can fully express yourself. But I'm sure at 40 maybe I'll want like, wallpaper with flowers [laughs]."
"I like pieces with character. That's sometimes a problem [laughs]. I value design so much that every piece for me has to have something interesting, but when you put them all together, it can look like almost an art gallery or a circus because the vase has hands, and then the table has human-looking feet, and then the chair needs to look a bit human, and the coffee machine [is] red. People come over and say, 'OK, it looks like an art gallery, it's crazy.' But that's just the way it comes to me."
"I come from a very, very strict upbringing and had to be kind of covered. When I think about growing up, I always wanted to look glamorous and sexy and attractive. I [was] hiding makeup in my backpack and changing clothes when I would arrive at school. I don't know if it's connected to [the art I buy and make], but I've always valued women, and I feel like women around me nowadays are—I don't want to sink into a feminist speech—but I see so many women [who] have so many layers. They're really independent, they're emotionally equipped...so I feel like my home is a tribute to womanhood."
"This image sums up a lot of things about me. She's hiding her hair, so it reminds [me of] my Muslim background, but she's also naked. It says 'smoked salmon' in French. It just makes so much sense in my universe. There's a bit of England, a bit of Islam, a bit of France, a bit of being naked, a bit of being provocative, and a bit of poetry as well."
"My designs are very selfish. They look like me, like my style. I have a hard time designing for other people. If I designed for someone else, they wouldn't be things that I would love to wear myself."
"It's funny because [the chairs] look very expensive, but I just stumbled on them randomly when I was buying furniture for my office. I bought them on a quite boring online shop, but everyone wants them. They attract much more attention than my expensive chairs [laughs]."
"That's a first vase from my [forthcoming] design collection. It's quite hard to expand to another field. Designing objects comes with its own kind of learning and know-how, so I had to learn about ceramics and materials and speak to new producers. But that's the first one. It's called Love Handles."
"[The piece on the wall] is from Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. The interesting thing about this is that it's expandable, and it comes in different colors. For me, I chose white. It's small parts that you assemble yourself and make the shape you want. You personalize it, and it can be smaller, it can be bigger. In some rooms, it covers the whole wall, or it can cover from the wall to the ceiling. It's kind of like moss growing from the wall, but a beautiful one, and you can just make it grow as much as you want. And it's in textiles, made of fabric."
"These are pictures of my body language collection. I printed sketches of my jewelry and framed them. I put my fiance's face on top. Poor him [laughs]."
"[The carpet is] very old. My mom had it from her mom, and poor unlucky carpet, it was never used because it never fit in any room or went with any color. My mom gave it to me saying, 'OK, I can't throw it away. It's very expensive, but I don't know what to do with it. Keep it.' I looked at it and was like, 'Ugh, OK,' and I dragged it along with me to London. It was always in storage, and then when I arrived here, it suddenly made so much sense with all of the colors of my living room. It's beautiful. It's a Berber rug from the '50s."
"[The photo above the fireplace is by] the famous Chinese photographer Ren Hang, who killed himself last year. I have an emotional relationship to [art]. The chairs that are shaped like hands, they come from this random website, but still for me, they are art. This picture, even though I invested a bit more, I don't think about the value, but really about the beauty of it."
"I got [the black chair] from a gallery pop-up in Belgium. It's made of leather. My mom calls it the bean bag [laughs], but I love it. I thought it was a very feminine chair because I felt like it's a chair that's going out with a long black gown that has a train. Like it's a human chair wearing a dress."
"There was so much already in the other rooms that I wanted [the dining room] minimal. When we have dinner there, I have my mini flower installations and all of the dishes and the nice glasses and candles, and then it becomes crowded; it comes to life."

Today, our living environment is getting worse and worse. Many families pack air filters to filter the air in the house. But we also know that when we buy air filters, first we need to know the material of the air filter so that we can choose the air filter that is useful to our family. What are the air filters?
The air filter (Air Cleaner) is mainly used in the fields of pneumatic machinery and internal combustion machinery. The belt type vacuum filter provides clean air for these machines in order to prevent the mechanical equipment from inhaling air with impurity particles in the work and increasing the probability of abrasion and damage. The main component of the air filter is the filter core and the shell. The filter core is the main filter part, and the filter is the filter of the gas rubber belt filter, and the shell is the external structure to provide the necessary protection for the filter core. The working requirements of air filters are high efficiency air filtration, excessive resistance to air flow and long continuous work.
HEPA filter paper is the most common filter net of air filter at present. It can purify the particles of more than 0.3 microns by vacuum belt dehydrator. The removal effect is 99.7%. Especially for PM2.5, the effect is more obvious. It is a filter which is very recognized by consumers. But want HEPA filter paper to play the maximum energy efficiency, select the grade and standard of HEPA grade filter paper needs special attention, because the specification and grade of HEPA grade filter paper will be influenced by many factors such as the design of the purifier itself and air flow, if it is a poor quality manufacturer of air purifier, although it is used It is HEPA filter paper, but the design of the outer layer of the purifier is not reasonable and the material is poor, it will lead to the leakage of the edge of the filter material and influence the filtering effect of the filter net of the HEPA grade filter paper.
We all know that the adsorption capacity of activated carbon is the most powerful, but the single use of activated carbon is not obvious, it is necessary to use another technology to make the efficiency of activated carbon to the extreme. Now some manufacturers have proposed a new type of nanoscale photocatalyst - activated carbon fiber composite filter medium, which uses the adsorption capacity of activated carbon particles to adsorb all the toxic and harmful gases in the air on the surface of the activated carbon carrier and then remove these gases. Activated carbon can adsorb gas below 0.3 microns, which is more powerful than HEPA filter paper, and it is convenient to wash and rinse directly with water. But the activated carbon needs to be replaced once a year to reduce the adsorption capacity of activated carbon.
Two kinds of common air filter materials are introduced in this paper. The general family will choose the two materials as buyers. Before we buy, we should consider the needs of their own families, and consider the material of the air filter, and consider the brand of the air filter. We can buy high quality products.


My last year of university, my last end-of-year ball, and of course I left it until the day before to find myself a dress. After last year's tuxedo, which I very much enjoyed, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to wear and found myself aimlessly perusing the shops for most of the afternoon. In the end, I came across this very simple but very classic looking white midi length (important thanks to the huge knee bruise I managed to acquire during the week preceding the ball) dress from H&M. To be perfectly honest, the main thing that attracted me to this dress was the fact that it has POCKETS. I mean, how exciting and convenient? The 'statement' I made with this outfit came in the form of my shoes: these completely ridiculous but amazing knee high lace ups from Public Desire. They are surprisingly comfortable and easy to walk in; after a full evening and night my feet were completely shot, but they didn't rub at all and frankly for how fab they are that was a sacrifice I was willing to make. Additionally, this whole outfit came in at under £100 which for a formal event is quite good going imo. Thoughts?
the combination of a formal white dress and those heels is just incredible – such a fantastic look !
A dress with pockets is always a winner. I LOVE your shoes!
I love your shoes! You look so beautiful!
Hannah you look SO incredibleeeee! Loving the dress and your make up in flawless!
Those shoes are incredible ,you look stunning!
In love with this look. You look absolutely beautiful.
Love love love the pockets of this dress, may have to swing by H&M and check it out!
This look is absolutely GORGEOUS. Head to toe.
Love the lace up heels and the dress is just wow !!!
Outfit is beautiful and your makeup is just perfect.
It's the slick hair, dark makeup and the white dress, it just makes it for me!

For several years now, I have been asked to produce a relaxing harp music CD that has nature sounds in the background. This spring I purchased a sensitive sound recorder and began to capture different sounds from the different places we were visiting; Beautiful songbirds from our backyard in Mississippi; thunderstorm sounds from Kentucky; night sounds from Iowa; geese and loons from Wisconsin; and river sounds from Colorado.
When I went to California in July to record with Gene LeSage, we started to put "sounds together with some tracks I was laying down with the harp. As we combined the various tracks, I became more and more excited with the combination of the studio and the wilds of America. The result is this new album – "All Nature Sings". I hope and pray that you will find this album a beautiful restful addition to the calming harp music that I make available.
This new Harp CD is melodic combinations of chord progressions from Psalms 90 through 100 – often referred to as the Psalms of Moses. I have added soft background music to the harp with keyboard accompaniment that, in my opinion, does not detract from the main focus of the harp. I believe that what you will hear on this recording will be a blessing to you. It is my hope and prayer that it become another treasured addition in your musical library providing you with hours of peaceful rest and gentle restoration.
This album is dedicated to the birth of our Messiah, Y'Shua who did come to earth as a baby born during the Feast of Sukkot in Bethlehem. He stepped down from His position of Sustainer of the Universe to manifest as a helpless babe and then allowed Himself to be placed on a stake, paying the ultimate price for our redemption. Personally, I think these songs celebrating His birth and life among us should be sung year round! Enjoy these inspiring traditional songs about this exceptional event that changed history for all human kind. I now humbly invite you to experience the music of my harp, for reflection, enjoyment, and, most of all His SHALOM! I have recorded this CD in 528Hz Frequency, which also offers a degree of healing, restoration, and peace that harmonizes with the "Prince of Peace", our Creator of the Universe. It is my prayer that this music will be a blessing to you. Bonus: As an added bonus, please enjoy The Shepherd's Story, written and told by my wife, Shirley, (only available on the CD).

'In Process of Making CDs, BJP Has Forgotten to Write the Manifesto":On Eve of Polls, Hardik Patel Holds His Own
'Congress has taken action against comment by Aiyar, But What 'Bar Girls' Comment by then CM'
By VENKATESH KESARI and SEEMA MUSTAFA
|8 Dec 2017 1:06 PM GMT
GANDHINAGAR/MEHSANA: Hardik Patel's meetings have been getting larger, cutting into the scepticism of the elder Patidars and consolidating the young. As well as the women who are turning out in large numbers as the video below shows, to listen to him, sex tape notwithstanding.
In a series of tweets he has dismissed the Mani Shankar Aiyer generated controversy over the term "neech" for the Prime Minister by pointing out that for this the Congress has taken action, but was it right when today's PM as the Chief Minister used the term 'bar girls'?
And gone on to question the BJP's failure to come out with an election manifesto saying it was to busy making sex CDs and had forgotten to write the manifesto even though the voting of the first phase was tomorrow:
The BJP has not even come out with a vision document for these elections, as clearly it cannot do so without raising the issue of reservation and employment for the Paridars, and cannot do this without alienating other forward castes whose votes it is relying on. Hence the silence that has Hardik Patel and the other Opposition parties ridiculing the ruling dispensation that is so nervous about these polls that it is unable to "write" a manifesto as the 25 year old Patidar leader puts it.
The crowds are becoming increasingly responsive at Hardik Patel's meetings with the Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat Nitin Patel facing problems in Mehsana, his Assembly constituency. Nitin Patel had supported the agitation when it first began from Mehsana itself---a fact that the local Patidars remind you of constantly--- but has since had to 'mend his ways' as it were. The Patidar vote bank that has been hard core BJP is showing signs of strain now, with the youth behind Hardik Patel and the elders tending to follow. Rather than the other way around. If this happens, as RSS sources told The Citizen, this seat might be lost to the BJP.
In fact of the three younger leaders--Jignesh Mevani, Alpesh Thakor and himself--Hardik Patel seems to have played it best by staying away from the elections, not entering into an alliance with the BJP, and at the same time drumming up a campaign against the ruling party that creates the space for a pro-Congress vote by the Patidars. All over the Patels willing to ditch the BJP this election, said they had no problem voting for the Congress party as a "change" would be welcome.
Mevani is caught in a difficult election with little or no Congress support on the ground. Alpesh Thakor has tied his fortunes to the Congress party by joining it, although his vote bank is not averse to this move, as the Patidars would have been at this point. Hardik Patel is clearly on a wicket strong enough to joke about the sex video that ordinarily might have damaged him considerably, but in this election has not at all. Instead he has convinced the Patidars that he is with them first, with the little show of violence attacking the Congress party for giving wrong tickets going down well with the Patidar community in general. This was a demonstration for them that Hardik Patel would turn against the Congress party too, and his understanding was based entirely on its assurance that it would give the community reservation.
Interestingly, even those supporting Hardik Patel said fairly cynically that like the BJP, the Congress would not fulfil its election promise. But added that they were with Hardik Patel, and wanted to see whether the change might prove worth the while. RSS sources said that there was clear resentment against BJP president Amit Shah and the Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, although PM Modi remained a popular figure. However as two young Patidars Nirdesh Patel and Janak said, "we will vote against BJP in these elections and for Modi in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls."
"This time,the BJP will not get en block votes of Patidars.This is not only because the BJP is opposing our reservation demands and the government policies are working against farmers. And most of Patidars are farmers," they said.

Shin Hye Sun In Talks To Lead New tvN Historical Fusion Drama
Shin Hye Sun is in talks to star in a new tvN drama!
On March 17, News1 reported that Shin Hye Sun had received the offer to star as the female lead for the upcoming tvN drama "Queen Cheorin" (literal title).
Following the reports, Shin Hye Sun's agency YNK Entertainment commented, "Shin Hye Sun has received the offer to star as the female lead Kim So Yong for 'Queen Cheorin,' and she is positively reviewing the offer."
With Joseon Dynasty as the background, "Queen Cheorin" will be a bright and comedic fusion sageuk (Korean historical drama). The drama will be written by scriptwriter Park Gye Ok who wrote "Doctor Prisoner" and "Inspiring Generation," and it will be helmed by PD (producing director) Yoon Sung Shik who directed "Hwarang" and "Tower of Babel."
"Queen Cheorin" will be about Bong Hwan, a man living in modern times whose soul gets trapped in the body of a queen from the Joseon Dynasty. The drama will tell the story from a refreshing perspective while showcasing a new type of genre as it takes on the fight against gender stereotypes.

The B.C. cities of Coquitlam and Port Moody are developing their business infrastructures through a personalized Web portal built by Yahoo!.
Yahoo! Enterprise Solutions personalization tools have been available to U.S. customers for just over a year, said Yahoo! Canada general manager Michael Zahra. Yahoo! has personalized government portals for North Carolina and Delaware, and provided intranet solutions for corporations such as Honeywell, Seagate Technology and Network Appliance.
Smart Choices is the first customer north of the border for the Yahoo! Enterprise Solutions division. The portal will be developed by Yahoo! Canada and will feature Canadian content, but Yahoo! Inc. will provide support. All of Yahoo!'s international portals are built on the same global platform developed by U.S. corporate parent Yahoo! Inc., said Zahra. Enterprise Solutions falls under Yahoo!'s business and consumer fees, which account for 20 per cent of the company's global revenues, he added.
Once the Smart Choices portal is up and running, each community and business contributor will own and manage their own content, with Smart Choices overseeing the project as a whole. ""In essence, we become a facilitator of the services available to the community at large,"" said Vlassopoulos.
The portal is one of several IT initiatives underway for Coquitlam and Port Moody. Industry Canada estimates that the cities will double in size from the current population of 150,000 within 20 years. By building up the cities' infrastructures, Industry Canada aims to develop their business communities and stem the flood of commuters that leave every day for nearby Vancouver. The entire Smart Choices project is expected to be completed sometime in 2004 and will include technology education and training services for citizens and businesses and a Smart Community and Business Centre. The centre ""will be available for business and community organizations to have access to Web technologies, e-commerce . . . it will be a gathering place for the community,"" said Vlassopoulos. Internet terminals will be available in the centre, as well as other highly trafficked areas like malls and libraries and even food banks and women's shelters.
In addition to Yahoo!, Smart Choices has also partnered with Microsoft, Telus Enterprise Solutions and Sierra Systems Group.


Amnesty International has urged the Haitian authorities to investigate alleged human rights violations committed by former president Jean-Claude Duvalier, also known as 'Baby Doc', after he was detained in Port-Au-Prince.
Jean-Claude Duvalier, who has been accused of presiding over numerous human rights violations during his rule from 1971 to 1986, was detained after being questioned by police on Tuesday 18 January. It is not yet clear what charges he will face.
"This landmark arrest is a welcome first step towards bringing to justice a leader whose security apparatus carried out widespread and systematic human rights violations including torture, arbitrary detentions and enforced disappearances.
"Haiti must investigate Jean-Claude Duvalier, and anyone else allegedly responsible for such crimes, some of which amount to crimes against humanity, in a trial that is thorough, independent and fair."
Jean-Claude Duvalier returned to Haiti on 16 January after nearly 25 years in exile in France. He fled Haiti in 1986 after a popular uprising which was violently repressed by the former Haitian Armed Forces and a local militia known as the "tonton macoutes".
Throughout his 15 years in power (1971-1986) systematic torture, extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances were widespread across Haiti.
Hundreds of people "disappeared" or were extrajudicially executed. Members of Haiti's armed forces and the militia National Security Volunteers – also known as the "tonton macoutes" –played a primary role in repressing pro-democracy and human rights activists. The "tonton macoutes" were disbanded in 1986 after Jean-Claude Duvalier went into exile.
"A cycle of impunity has prevailed for decades in Haiti, with victims of abuses and their families denied justice for way too long - now the opportunity has come for justice, truth and reparations."

Preview - Sky Bet League One Matchday 9
Once again, you have got a bumper Saturday to look forward to. Here's our preview of the weekend's Sky Bet League One schedule…
Last team standing
Last weekend began with five unbeaten sides in Sky Bet League One, however, four of these scalps were taken in a savage Saturday afternoon for the table's top sides.
Division leaders Portsmouth are the only team to have preserved their record, leapfrogging Peterborough United to the top spot after beating them 2-1 on Matchday 8.
This week Pompey return to action at Fratton Park against Wycombe Wanderers. The Chairboys were victorious on their last visit to Portsmouth — a 2-1 victory in the FA Cup in 2016.
With their only league win this campaign also occurring on their travels they will be aiming to repeat the feat, but it will be a tough task. In Pompey's last four home matches they have netted 12 goals and conceded just twice – a daunting statistic for any visiting side.
Fine form
Burton Albion and Coventry City both impressively spoiled undefeated starts last week, but Doncaster Rovers eclipsed their achievements, running riot in a 4-1 romping of previously unbeaten Walsall.
The last time Rovers hit four or more was November last year, but they managed one better against their opponent's this weekend, Bradford City, in 2007.
Despite defeat in their last visit in March, the Bantams have won twice in three trips to the Keepmoat since the 5-1 thrashing 11 years ago. However, they have not picked up any points in their last four outings and have consequently fallen into the bottom four.
David Hopkin's Bradford will try to put an end to this run against an in-form Rovers side currently enjoying a five-game undefeated streak, wherein they held the top-two teams, Peterborough United and Portsmouth. Now up to fifth in the table, Doncaster will want to continue to be mentioned in the same breath as the division's pacesetters.
The last time Accrington Stanley hosted AFC Wimbledon, and Luton Town faced Blackpool, was in the Sky Bet League Two play-off semi-final battles in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
Wimbledon and the Seasiders — who are currently unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions – went on to book their spots at Wembley and win promotion. Now joining these sides in the third tier, the Hatters and Stanley will be out to avenge their play-off heartbreak.
Plymouth Argyle will visit Charlton Athletic in search of their first win, as Peterborough United, Barnsley, and Walsall will look to brush off their first defeats of this campaign against Gillingham, Burton Albion and Oxford United respectively.
Saturday will also see history in the making as Sunderland, who suffered their inaugural Sky Bet League One defeat last weekend, and Rochdale meet for the first time in history.

Bristol Rovers v Coventry City

L'escut de Benigembla és un símbol representatiu oficial de Benigembla, municipi del País Valencià, a la comarca de la Marina Alta. Té el següent blasonament:

Història

L'escut s'aprovà primerament per Orde de 30 de gener de 1989, de la Conselleria d'Administració Pública, publicada en el DOGV núm. 1.015 de 28 de febrer de 1989.
Posteriorment es modificà el timbre per adaptar-lo a l'heràldica municipal valenciana per Resolució de 25 de novembre de 2003, del conseller de Justícia i Administracions Públiques, publicada en el DOGV núm. 4.648, d'11 de desembre de 2003.

El mur simbolitza les restes de l'antic castell de Pop, d'origen islàmic, i alhora representa els murs del Ribàs, que circumval·len la part oest del poble i el protegeixen de les crescudes del riu Xaló, al qual al·ludeixen les ones d'argent i atzur. Els quatre pals recorden la pertinença al Regne de València.

Q: Extracting data by matching multiple tables in SQL Server 2008 I want to extract result based on match from multiple tables, three tables to be specific. The tables are Despatch, Activation and Replaced. Diagram below shows structure and sample data in them.

The Expected result based on above diagram is:
LotQty | ApprovedQty | DispatchDate | Installed
  15   |      10     |   2013-8-7   |    9

The result should be on following criteria:
LotQty, ApprovedQty and DispatchDate are just count and distinct from Despatch table
Installed(Real Problem). This field is based on calculation:

*

*Query should first match SerialNo from Despatch table for Lot 20 with SerialNo under Lot 20 in Activation table. It finds 8 match ignoring Product1&2 which have different Lot quantities.

*Next for 8 matched SerialNo's it should compare date. If DispatchDate for a SerialNo is less than ActivationDate then it is count as 1.(Product3's DispatchDate is greater than ActivationDate. Hence it is ignored. For rest of the SerialNo's DispatchDate is < ActivationDate). So total resultant count from Activation table is 7.

*For unmatched SerialNo's from Despatch table (Product1,2 & 3) it should perform a match in Replaced table. It finds match for all the SerialNo's but as Product4 to Product10 are already matched from Activation, here it should match only 3 leftover SerialNo's(Product1,2 & 3). Product1 & 2 matches here. Next similar to above it should check if DispatchDate is < RecordDate. Both Product1 & 2 have DispatchDate < RecordDate so count from Replaced table is 2.

*Now the total Installed should be 9 (7 from Activation table and 2 from Replaced table).

There can be multiple entries of a SerialNo from Desptach in both Replaced and Activation table as observed in above diagram . So first the match of SerialNo's of Despatch table should be done with Activation table and if any of SerialNo is unmatched or it's DispatchDate > ActivationDate only then for those SerialNo's it should go ahead to find a match in Replaced table.
So far with the help of @ jpw I have managed to form a query as below :
select
(
    select distinct LOTQty
    from Despatch
    where LotQty = '15'
)as LotQty

,(
    select COUNT(SerialNo)
    from Despatch
    where LotQty = '15'
)as ApprovedQty

,(
    select distinct(DispatchDate)
    from Despatch
    where LotQty = '15'
)as DispatchDate

,(
    select COUNT(A.SerialNo) + count(R.NewSerialNo)
    from Despatch D
    left join
        Activation A
        on D.SerialNo = A.SerialNo
        and D.DispatchDate <= A.ActivationDate
        and D.LotQty = A.LotQty
    left join
        Replaced R
        on D.SerialNo = R.NewSerialNo
        and D.DispatchDate <= R.RecordDate
)as Installed

which yields wrong output i.e :
LotQty | ApprovedQty | DispatchDate | Installed
  15   |      10     |   2013-8-7   |    17

Help is deeply appreciated,
Thanks in advance
EIDT1

So from above diagram even now the Installed should be 9 as I would like result only for Lot15

A: The problem is with your Replaced data. Looking at your condition, it's matching all of the records that are in that table that match the serial number in the Dispatch table. You indicate it should only be 2 though. You are missing a condition that would indicate that it's unmatched in Activation to narrow the results.
Ensuring that A's SerialNo in the second join should do the trick for you
select
(
    select distinct LOTQty
    from Despatch
    where LotQty = '15'
)as LotQty

,(
    select COUNT(SerialNo)
    from Despatch
    where LotQty = '15'
)as ApprovedQty

,(
    select distinct(DispatchDate)
    from Despatch
    where LotQty = '15'
)as DispatchDate

,(
    select COUNT(A.SerialNo) + count(R.NewSerialNo)
    from Despatch D
    left join
        Activation A
        on D.SerialNo = A.SerialNo
        and D.DispatchDate <= A.ActivationDate
        and D.LotQty = A.LotQty
    left join
        Replaced R
        on D.SerialNo = R.NewSerialNo
        and D.DispatchDate <= R.RecordDate
        and A.SerialNo IS NULL
    where D.LotQty = '15'
)as Installed

I can't seem to login to SQLFiddle right now, so here is the schema you need if you want to try it out.
CREATE TABLE Despatch (
    SerialNo VARCHAR(20),
    DispatchDate DATETIME,
    LOTQty INT )

I'd have to think that they meant before you beat the league. Why wouldn't they? It doesn't make sense to not do.
Tortoiseshel
I'm going digital
GameFreak does a lot of things that don't make sense. I don't know how they can't seem to get that the Pokemon are the main reason that people play Pokemon games, not whatever dumb gimmick battle mechanic they come up with and then drop the next generation.
CoDL
I'm a Maniac
Honestly I was incredibly hyped after the Direct showed so much of the animation. Each new generation improves so much in terms of animation, story, and at least trying to come up with new interesting mechanics. But at the same time the games have gotten more hand-holdy, features get removed because they think "there's already so much stuff in here, they couldn't possibly want the Battle Frontier. They're all distracted by their cell phones anyways" and now unless this is just a misunderstanding or they didn't explain it well, they're even removing Pokemon from the game. Not having a National Dex in Generation 7 was bad enough for me (I really enjoy catching every Pokemon all over again. I don't transfer unless I need to)
And I totally understand that there are probably going to be around 900 models they have to create, texture, animate, etc and that all takes time. I do this stuff in my free time so I know how long it takes. But they've been using the same models since Generation 6 with only minor improvements. They designed the models to be future-proof at least for a while because if they were gonna move to 3D they wanted to get their money's worth. So that argument doesn't really impact this that much, I don't think. One day reanimating thousands of models will be big enough of an issue that it makes sense, but not yet. Not if they're reusing existing assets and using a significantly more powerful engine
I really hope that best case scenario it was some sort of misunderstanding, or at least it's something they'll patch some time after launch but this was a bad choice
We're counting on you, Chosen Children
Mild At Heart
Ain't got no mojo...
Here's how my day went;
"omg, it's a corgi Pokemon, and I love it so mu- f(r)*ck*ng what?"
I was REALLY hyped and now I'm considering not even buying these games unless news comes to talk about how they'll properly fix it, but it seems like they're gonna make all games like that from now on. I hope that the backlash is great enough for them to look at patching them into the game in the future and never touching this subject again (other than to say "transfer is a thing and there are no restrictions once it's up and running!").
So far it's looking like there's quite a bit of outcry. The video that Nintendo has of them revealing this info had dislikes and likes at around 10K for both, the dislikes just shadowing at under 200ish likes. There's people tweeting their disappointment and I've heard the Japanese fandom is really mad about this.
Cute Justice Kick!
Edit (my icon) made by flintlock!
Yeah even Japanese fans are upset about this, which was how I realized it wasn't a mistranslation or anything like that. It's incredible how universally disliked this decision is, at least among dedicated fans. I hope it makes GameFreak think twice about taking this direction, but their history doesn't make me optimistic.
At least I'll always have Digimon.
DATS24
Completely digital
With how the E3 of SW/SH became, I think that somehow I can be relieved that Digimon Survive still haven't announced its release date and its progress report much. It means Habumon & team are still struggling to make the best they can.
Probably pokemon needs to learn from Yokai Watch 4 (to delay the game several times), but I guess being no.1 of world's top grossing Multimedia Franchise isn't an easy thing.

Out of curiosity sake, because I only hear how the Japanese fandom feels second hand, how upset would you say they are? Whenever the Japanese side of fan base gets brought up in general there's this kinda mentality I keep seeing pushed around(and for other games as well). That they are grateful toward a game studio/company gives them as a kinda of explanation for why they are not as vocal in expressing their displeasure over bad design choices. So I rarely see others referring to the Japanese fandom as being upset explicitly. This has me a little confused, I have no doubt that they have ways of expressing their dissatisfaction but then again perhaps I've been hearing from people who have no idea what they are talking about.
That aside, yeah I'm pretty upset about this too. It's also a double slap to the face especially after they put so much effort into reassuring Home would be the bridge to allow us to bring our Pokemon to new games. On top of this I can bet the biggest issue is Game Freaks incompetence in optimizing their own games. There are many bigger games being ported and designed for the Nintendo switch. So I find myself flabbergasted, what is taking up so much space that they thought it would be better just to cut an arbitrary roster of Pokemon from the game entirely? Especially when Sun/Moon/Ultra at lower size capacity, and a less powerful system, could handle the game and about 807 monsters with various animations(And a ton of unused ones left in the library to boot). I understand time is a very real issue for any game company and that porting resources isn't as simple as fans make it out to be(I had heard something about a lot of the assets being redesigned, but I can't find a proper link to that one so take a grain of salt in mind). I just wish Game Freak could understand that most fans don't want these games as quickly as they can make them. They want them given the care, respect and time needed to create a wonderful game.
With that said there are still a lot of things I like that are being done with Sword and Shield. Mixed encounters with tall grass and roving Pokemon seems to have found the best of both worlds. Over world Pokemon interactions are super cool giving different mechanics that vary based on the Pokemon itself. Also wild evolved Pokemon seem to have higher levels, giving a determinant to not just go hog wild and run into whatever you can find at first. By the looks of it we can collect ingredients so it's likely there's some kind of cooking mini game involved. Last of all Corviknight is definitely up there on favorite Pokemon designs. I get the feeling at some point I will play this game and mostly enjoy em. However considering the most recent turn of events it's not something I'm waiting for with baited breath.
I'd rather roll

Multiple comments I read on Reddit in different threads were saying the national dex stuff was trending on Twitter in Japan as well, so they're just as pissed as us in the west
They did change that thing people hated in Mario Maker 2 so I guess they're thinking about how to fix this. Maybe in a update later. This would effect them greatly much like how the Animal Crossing thing messed stuff up.
Mario Maker 2 and Animal crossing are Nintendo in house productions. Pokemon is developed by Game Freak, Nintendo publishes the game for them. In terms of what Game Freak is willing to do...they are pretty stubborn. In the past the only major updates done in the 3DS games where to fix bugs(such as the Lumiose city save glitch). I'd even argue that Ultra moon/sun would have been a fine time for them to give DLC a try but instead they fully released the whole game. It's not to say that with what's going on they might begin considering alternative means to add content, but I'm not counting on it either.
It seems like a 50/50 chance. How hard are their heads compared to ours. Or something like that.

I just hope they include Houndoom in this game, as well as a new Pokémon based on the black dog legend
3DS Friend Code: 1161-0249-6857
First Starters for each generation
Charmander | Cyndaquil | Torchic | Piplup | Tepig | Fennekin | Rowlett | Scorbunny
A regional form that can evolve, a Pokemon that can switch types by using a attack, new rivals, and a new team... but most importantly of all, we finally have "Hangry" in Pokémon ladies and gentlemen.
So the antagonists are Team Yell, a bunch of obnoxious fanboys. Doesn't sound worth the main character's effort.
The latest Pikachu that gets violent when not getting fed enough.
A taunting Pokemon that is commonly used by upset youths of the region.
Commentary or coincidence?
What have they done to Linoone? But that Weezing is hilarious.
Man... Aside from regional variants returning, which is wonderful because that was one of GameFreak's best ideas in years, I'm just so uninterested in everything they've shown so far. I think it's just too hard to get excited for new Pokemon when I'm too busy wondering whether or not my favorites are going to be included. Under normal circumstances, I feel like I'd have gone crazy over Impidimp or KISSzagoon, but it's hard to get attached to any new Pokemon when there's no promise I'll get to play with them in a full game again until years later. Whatever, I've already decided that if I ever do get Sword or Shield, it'll only be if Banette's in it, and I'll be buying it used. Otherwise I'll just wait and hope the upgraded versions are better.
Edit: Okay I have to comment on one other thing: Does Morpeko have built in flesh pockets??? Because that's sure what it looks like to me:

When I saw the trailer yesterday I had to double check that it was the official channel. I mean I should be used to weird stuff in Pokemon. For some odd reason this one felt almost strait out of a fans "I'd like to see this" thread to me. That aside I really liked that regional variants are still a thing as I was feeling rather antsy about what other features might not return in these games. I really like Zigazoon's line interpretation as Linoone is based off a Japanese badger to begin with. So it's a pretty logical leap to European badger like design.
Also yes Tortoiseshel, I'm pretty sure that's what it looks like. By the way the shadow dimples behind the limb, the odd shape making it look like it's cut off, and the lack of finger features is what I take to indicate that. Also it's blurb on the SW&SH site says it's always carrying around food so having pouches to store it in isn't surprising. However considering it's based off a hamster I'm a little surprised they didn't do something with the cheek pouches, or perhaps they thought that looked too goofy...
Sparrow Hawk
Why surprised of Morpeko's pockets? Marsupial species like Kangaroo have flesh pouches.
Weird pokemon biology borrowing from other related species isn't too surprising. However hamsters are kinda known for storing food in their cheek pockets so not taking advantage of it in the design is what surprised me.
We have a smarmy rival, a girl rival and her terrible fans as the "evil" team, Doug Weezingdome, KISSzagoon as a new evo, A ham ham that gets angry when hungry(the Snicker's commercial), and some kind of job feature?
Exodd said:
I really doubt they're the main antagonists. Much like Team Skull, I suspect there's a larger force that will be manipulating them behind the scenes. A lot of people are suspicious of Chairman Rose.
FWIW, considering their vuvuzelas, face paint and disruptive behaviour, Team Yell are very likely based on football hooligans who are known for such stuff.

About Maples Rugs
Family owned and operated. Committed to quality. Economic driver for our small town. Leader in the rug industry. Made in the USA. These are all headlines you might read in a story about Maples Rugs.
Maples Rugs makes tufted accent, area, bath and kitchen rugs for top national and regional retailers, as well as for our own product line. We are one of the premiere rug manufacturers in the country, and the largest employer in the county of our small hometown – Scottsboro, Alabama. Maples Rugs earned this place in the home flooring market through hard work, steady growth, and commitment to quality for our customers.
Everything at Maples Rugs is constructed and assembled in the USA – a point that brings a lot of pride to our family, our employees, our community, and ultimately – to you, the customer.
Maples Rugs History
Since 1928, the Maples family has been manufacturing home textiles in the small town of Scottsboro, Alabama. We first went into business as the Maples Company making tufted chenille bedspreads, pot holders and robes. We later expanded into bath and accent rugs before selling the business to J.P. Stevens in 1963.
Three years later the Maples family got back in the business, opening Maples Industries and shifted solely to tufted rug production in 1966. This is where the focus remains today – and one of the reasons cofounder, Wade Maples, believes that Maples Rugs has lasted through so much consolidation in the industry. A keen focus on a quality tufted rug offered in a varied selection, along with reinvesting profits into the company, have served the business well.
Steady growth from that small operation startup in 1966 has led to four plants in Scottsboro, totaling more than 1 million square feet of space today. Management still remains in the family. Joining cofounder Wade Maples are his wife, Pat, and son, John Maples III. Pat oversees product design and John focuses on operations.
With advances in manufacturing and the expansion of production capabilities, Maples Rugs also focused on the design. Under Pat's artistic leadership, our in-house design team grew and today works on hundreds of rug designs each season. The hours of pattern work show in the attention to detail in each of our rugs. Many of the rug trends for the season are displayed in the New York showroom on Fifth Avenue.
A Leader in the Industry
Through this three-generational legacy, the Maples family has had quite the influence on the rug industry. To this day management remains highly involved in production of Maples Rugs. Maples Rugs remains on the forefront of tufted rug technology and has evolved through the years – from the first three-color cross-dyeing, to introducing highly dyeable BCF-nylon bath rugs, to computerized dyeing and tufting and even rug printing.
Perhaps one of our largest contributions was pioneering the use of Olefin in accent rugs in 1988, which made them more durable, more stain-resistant and easier to care for since the rugs were washable. This was followed by the company's exclusive Duraback rug backing in 1998 which is still part of the Maples product.
Today Maples Rugs is still a leader in the industry and still focuses solely on the tufted rug business. We are still a major driver in our local community and still proudly boast that all of our manufacturing happens in the USA.

NCAA Football 2009
NCAA Football 09 Interview
We run down the PS2 gameplan with two NCAA 09 designers.
By Jeff Haynes
Updated: 12 May 2012 11:19 pm
Posted: 7 Jul 2008 8:24 pm
Most of the focus in college football games has shifted to the current generation of consoles, with a larger emphasis on college atmosphere, online play and customized soundtracks. But that doesn't mean that PS2 owners won't receive their own version of pageantry, pomp and circumstance. NCAA Football 09 will be making a return to the venerable system with a number of additional fixes and adjustments, as well as a few new modes for newcomers.
We contacted Rick Lopez and Mike Scantlebury, Associate Designers of the PS2 version of NCAA Football 09, to find out what will be brought to this year's game: What features were adopted from previous EA Sports titles? How has the gameplay evolved? Are there any significant adjustments to Dynasty play? All these questions and more are answered below.
IGN: We immediately noticed that there's a new feature known as Family Play. Can you tell us the reasons behind including this feature? Are any of these ideas borrowed from the Wii's All-Play mode?
Rick Lopez: We wanted to open up to a wider audience, to put it plainly. There was thought that since many people have yet to make the leap to the next generation consoles, we should try and engage those gamers, rather than focus solely on the hardcore NCAA enthusiasts that have mostly moved on to PS3 and 360. And yes, we worked closely with the EA Canada team to take advantage of the awesome work they had already done with Wii All-Play.
IGN: Do you think that veterans of NCAA Football on the PS2 will be engaged by this simplified mode of play, and if so, how?
Mike Scantlebury: The new simplified mode of play will allow veterans to be able to play with any friends or relatives that are not veterans of our game. Not all NCAA hardcore gamers have friends who are hardcore gamers, they may have friends that are not really into football games because of the game's complexity. With this mode both the veteran and the novice user get right into game and start playing without having to worry about strategy or all the intricate features in the game. They just have to press the action button and they're able to do advanced moves like the veteran.
IGN: We noticed that there's now specific matchup play prep for an opponent with crowd noise in this year's game. Can you talk a bit about that?
Rick Lopez: This was something we added to Dynasty mode to help prepare the User for each week's games. Practice mode was reorganized to allow for training against the upcoming opponent's specific defensive playbook and along with that you can adjust artificial crowd noise during practice to better prepare for the game atmosphere. But to be honest, this is minor when compared to the Play Preparation feature, which you can use to perfect up to 10 plays and use them to greater advantage in-game. Success in practice can provide a player ratings boost when the corresponding plays are utilized during that week's game.
IGN: Are there any other adjustments that have been made to this year's dynasty mode?
Rick Lopez: We focused more on polish and bug fixing in regard to Dynasty mode, rather than adjustments. With a lot of our focus being on user-friendly features for the newer and younger gamers, we tried to leave Dynasty relatively unchanged for those PS2 holdovers, only making minor additions such as the aforementioned Prepared Play, weekly Strength of Schedule and Conference Ranking polls, and more depth to the interactive timeouts system.
Also worth mentioning is the addition of Super Sim, a feature that was quite popular on NCAA 08 (360/PS3) and is available in Dynasty, Campus Legend, and Play Now. It allows the user to simulate a single play, an entire drive, an entire game, or just a quarter or a half of action. It also enables the user to enter the game at any point and take control, as well as return to the Super Sim screen. The interface displays textual play-by-play action, statistics, a scoreboard, and a dynamic drive summary. Super Sim is ideal for those gamers that find themselves up by 30 at the end of the first half and would like to finish the game quickly and move on; however, it also enables that same user to jump back in the game and take control when the opponent mounts a comeback with only a few minutes remaining.

Arrow Reaches an Emotionally Fulfilling End


Most fans know how to act when observing an athletic contest. However, some fans have attended too many professional games where they observe the inappropriate behavior of people and think that it is acceptable. Unacceptable behavior at high school sporting events would include: disrespectful or derogatory yells, chants, songs, or gestures, verbal heckling of an official, display of one's temper over an official's call, antagonistic calls or gestures toward the opposing team, use of profanity or displays of anger, threatening words or gestures directed at an official, coach, or team member.
—Please remember that a ticket to an athletic event is a privilege that you can purchase to observe a contest. Be supportive and understanding of your child and of the team on which he or she plays. The ticket you purchased is not a license to verbally assault others or to be obnoxious.


This quote speaks to a problem that many of us face-while we desire a specific result, a foreboding gap may stand between our goal and our accomplishment.
wants to accomplish that goal next month..
Well…a month comes, and a month goes. You might have already guessed how this story ends: he doesn't become president in those thirty days. Why do you think that is? Would it be chalked up to lack of self-discipline or willpower? Of course not. However, it could be attributed to growth and process. Every goal and desire is a growth and a process-a journey.
We live in an instant-gratification society. We have figured out how to have food now versus cooking it (drive-thru), we can have information now (via the internet) instead of researching or going to a library. We can book trips around the world now rather than going to a travel agency. We can communicate in written form now (through email, versus hand-written letters).
Somehow, many of us feel we should thus be able to accomplish our goals and change right now.
Until we find a way to order our favorite goal, pre-done and delivered at the local drive-thru, let us remember that it is a process of many steps. It is not a matter of self-discipline or willpower, but a matter of focus, daily action, and time.
Your Turn: Where have you been belittling yourself for not "getting more done," or not having "self discipline" or the "required willpower" to achieve your goals? Consider that goals and desires are a journey, and the place you are now is one required step on that path.
Today's Affirmation: I cherish the journey.


A Jewish cemetery near the Latvian capital Riga was desecrated Tuesday night. Vandals painted Nazi swastikas on more 100 tombstones.
Police, who were called to the site after the discovery, tried to track down those behind the vandalism with the help of dogs. However, there has been no reported breakthrough in the case so far.
City police have increased the number of teams patrolling cemeteries.
Mayor of Riga Nil Ushakov and Latvian President Valdis Zatlers have condemned the act.
A similar incident happened in Latvia in 2003. Back then the perpetrators turned out to be teenagers. All of them were received suspended jail sentences.

Where has this year gone? It's hard to believe that New Year's is almost here. I'll be sad to see '07 go, it's been a good one.
Not much new going on. Fran has been off all week. We've been pretty lazy. I did finally make it to Longwood Gardens. It's one of my favorite places in the world. And Christmas time there is pure magic. The trees outside are beautifully lit and the Conservatory is filled with poinsettias and decorated trees. It was packed! I took tons of pictures and had to scrap a few right away. Here's my layout. I used my Studio Calico kit (love it). I used a piece of Noteworthy paper as a template and traced it onto cardstock. Then I added a glitter border. The stars are sprayed with Glimmer Mist, another new addiction!
Well, that's all for now. Enjoy the last couple of days of the year!
I'm finally done. The gifts are wrapped, the cards have been sent, the groceries bought for Christmas meals! Now I can sit back and relax. Tomorrow, Christmas Eve is also Fran's birthday. We have lots of exciting things going on. And of course, Christmas day will be spent with family. What more can you ask for? So, here's my Christmas wish to you. Have a wonderful, blessed day and may the spirit of the season be with you all year long.
I recently came across a great idea that was posted by one of the Paper Crafts editors, Brandy, on their blog. You can send cards to those recovering at the Walter Reed Army Medical center. At this time of year, a word of thanks or a happy holiday wish would certainly make a difference in their lives. Even though it's getting close to Christmas I'm going to get a couple of cards in the mail! I'm sure they'd even like New Year's ones. This is definitely an address I'll be saving for holidays later in the year, too.
"There are several incorrect addresses for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center floating around, as well as news stories telling people not to send in cards. I called the hospital directly and was informed that sending cards to the American Red Cross address above will guarantee that your cards will be delivered to the soldiers at this hospital."
These are the two cards that I'll be seding over today. This is one of my favorites that I made a while ago. I stamped with paint and then added Hambly transparencies and a BG rubon to the cover.
This one uses one of my favorite Christmas lines, Cosmo Cricket Wonderland.
Finally, here's one of my newest creations. It's for this week's CPS blog. The patterned paper is Paper Trunk, this week's sponsor. Also used some glittered chipboard and some fun silver cord.
That's it for today. I'm off to bake my Christmas cookies and finish wrapping my gifts. Have an awesome day!
We've had a wonderfully lazy day today. I made some cards this morning. I cleaned and put a TON of laundry away. We went bowling. Just lots of mundane things. But I love it. Ryan is now watching Scooby Doo (what else is new?) and we're waiting for takeout from Hibachi. YUM!!!
Anyway, here are a couple of new cards. This was my CPS card for the week. I used mostly Melissa Frances stuff and some Inque Boutique stamps.
This is a sympathy card. I came across this quote and thought it was really appropriate to send to someone who is grieving.
That's about it for now. Gotta go write Christmas cards. Have a great weekend!
I've really been having fun making Christmas cards this year. Here are a couple I did this week using Paper Salon stuff.
This one is really gittery in real life. I used the glitter snowflake paper from the Snowday paper line. I added some glitter snowflake rubons, too. After cutting the letters on my Cricut, I ran them through the Xyron face down then added a mix of white and silver glitter to them. The bling and sparkly ribbon add to the festive feel of the card.
On this one, I stamped the trees and added jewels. The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used paper from the Ornamental Holiday line.I love pink and green on Christmas cards. I also added some of my favorite Queen and Company scroll felt for a little texture.
In keeping with the Christmas spirit, here's a card I made for the CPS Blog We decided that we'd do all holiday cards this week. Each designer picked their favorite sketch and redid it in a Christmas theme. Here's my first card for the week. I used a gorgeous Inque Boutique stamp with white embossing powder. The papers are Fancy Pants and the rubon is K and Co. I added lots of bling, too. (as always). The little pink flower came in an awesome RAK from my dear friend Kim Hughes. I love the texture it adds to the card.
That's all for now. Check back later in the week for some more holiday inspiration!
I was so excited to take Ryan to New York for the first time! We went up and visited Enrique's family and had such a wonderful time. This was the first time Ryan had met his NY cousins, too. We went to Sabrina's Nutcracker performance on Saturday. She was great, so graceful and sweet! On Sunday, Mom, Ryan and I braved the cold weather and the crowds to see the tree. It was spectacular. I do think I was more excited than Ryan was to see it, though. He got really sick of me taking pictures!
This is Ryan and the girls. They have the loveliest courtyard garden in their building. Ryan's favorite part of the trip was playing in the snow there.
Here's the tree. It's so gorgeous in real life. I just couldn't capture how sparkly it was. BUT, I could zoom in on it really well using my brand new 70-300 lens that Enrique gave me! Yes, Christmas came early. He just happened to have an extra one and let me have it. Can I just tell you how excited I am???
Here's another shot of the tree.
Check out the look on Ryan's face. He was not a happy camper at this point.
But then, he cheered up a bit!
He also got to see the beautiful window display at Saks. He loved that.
All in all it was a magical trip. We can't wait to get back for another visit.
This is an older one, but one of my all time faves. Everything is Paper Salon. I painted the chipboard with Stickles.
And here's one that I thought would be a great holiday Thank You. I used Inque Boutique stamps and Creative Imaginations paper.
This week over at CPS we were lucky to have Paper House Productions as our sponsor. When I received my pack from them a couple of weeks ago, I thought the products were lovely, but was kind of stumped as to how I would use them on a card. Well, as soon as I started creating, I knew I didn't have any worries. The papers were a lot of fun to cut up and distress. The die cuts worked really well, too. I really like how these turned out. It was a lot of fun seeing how the other designers used the products, too! So, if you haven't yet checked out Paper House Productions, I say give them a try!
I added some paint and jewels to a Heidi Swapp butterfly and adhered it over the PHP butterfly for a 3D effect on this card.
This one is for my mom. Her birthday is next week. She absolutely loves sitting down with the New York times in the afternoon. So, I thought this die cut would be perfect for her card.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Thursday!
Ryan fell in love with mini golf this past year. Maybe we have the next Tiger Woods on our hands. But from the looks of these pictures, maybe not. I recently got some new KI lace cardstock and played around with it on this layout. I love this stuff.
"Push it all the way to the hole. Put it in the hole with your hand. Use 2 balls. (better odds). When all else fails, use your soccer skills and kick it in! Just be sure no one sees you!"
In all fairness, my boy definitely improved his game by the end of the summer. I was actually quite impressed! He even shot a couple of holes in ones! Maybe a career in pro golf ISN'T that far off.
I spent the last few days making cards. Thought I'd share a few of them.
This first card uses two of my new favorite things. Inque Boutique stamps and glittery embossing powder. The powder gives the card such a shimmery look.
This card uses another one my new favorite things....white embossing powder. My friend, the talented Betsy Veldman had been using it on some of her cards and I fell in love with how it looked. White ink just never looks as vibrant as this.
Finally, I tried my hand at a digital card. This one was done with an Anne Langpap kit from 2Peas. (Click on the link and scroll down a bit...the kit can be downloaded for free!)I created the whole card digitally then printed it out. I stitched around the edges and attached the Queen and Company brads and flowers before mounting it on cardstock. It was a lot of fun to do, and got me back into trying digi stuff.
Well, maybe not me, but my card is! I'm so excited to finally see it in person. I got my issue yesterday. That's my little stamped 'Joy" card there. Can't believe it's hanging out on the cover.
We are off to the Villanova/Delaware game today. Ryan and I are going to be the only Blue Hens in the midst of a sea of Villanova fans!
Debbie Harris!!! Debbie, I'll email you for your address and get these out ASAP!
And here are a couple using the newest Paper Salon lines. This one uses Sorbet along with some chipboard.
And this one uses First Blush. I added in some of the green from Ornamental Holiday.
It's Monday!! I had a pretty good weekend and was able to get a good bit of scrapping done because Ryan was sick. Poor little guy was running a fever for most of the weekend. :( All he wanted to do was lay around. So, while Fran worked on his paper, I worked on some projects.
Last week on the CPS blog, we had a wonderful sponsor - Gina K Designs. Here is the card I did using her stamps.
The picture really doesn't do it justice. I made it on a transparency. I stamped the image and added color with markers. The snowflakes are punched from vellum and I added glitter with a glitter gel pen. It's really sparkly IRL!
You will receive a set of 7 of Gina's stamps. (I've already cut them out for you.) You'll also get a set of acrylic blocks to use them with. You can check out examples of cards using these stamps on the CPS blog . We used them for Sketch 38. Be sure to scroll all the way down to the November 4th post to see all of the cards. ;) All you need to do to win is check out Gina's site and leave a comment here saying which one of her sets is your favorite. You have until midnight on Wednesday, November 14. I'll draw a name from all of the comments.
Thanks for playing and have a great Monday!!!
Yesterday, I went for my mammogram. Thank goodness all looks well with the girls. :) Having lost someone I loved dearly to breast cancer, I've been careful to make sure I get my yearly mammogram done. A couple of months ago, the girls at Paper Salon had the opportunity to help the Young Survival Coalition in Duluth, MN, with their fundraising efforts. We all created cards for a silent auction they held. Well, I got a letter yesterday sayting that they raised over $8,000. (Isn't it wierd that I got the letter as I was coming home from my mammogram?) I'm so excited that I was able to play a (very) small role in that success.
So, if you are someone who needs to get a mammogram, but haven't done it yet...GO! It doesn't hurt and it's very quick!
I leave you with the cards I made for the YSC.
If you'd like to see even more breast cancer cards, check out the Paper Salon blog. Everyone of them is beautiful and definitely a source of hope!
I was so excited to get some time to play with my Kim Hughes stamps. If you haven't checked out Kim's blog, you have to. Her stamps are so cute and whimisical and she's always posting the most wonderful cards that she's made with them. I love being able to have a bit of her handwriting on my cards!! Her collections can be found at Cornish Heritage Farms.
This card uses her Cute Curls set.
The cute owl on here is from her Pretty Birds set and the sentiment is from Cute Curls.
And this one uses the sentiment from her Fall Silhouettes collection.
Hope you can see these well enough. For some reason I couldn't get them to post any larger. I'm still getting used to all of this 'blog stuff'.
Thanks for taking a peek and have a great day!!!
He ended up not wearing the mask because 'It smelled in there.' Good call, I say.
We had a blast trick or treating with the girls and baby Ryan.
I'm just dreading what he might want to be next year!!
As for scrapping, I've been really busy. I submited several to the BHG call for the Make It Your's bookazine. My layout is in this month's issue and I'm really hoping not to be a one hit wonder with them . I also sent a couple to Memory Makers. This 'no posting allowed' rule really stinks. I hate not being able to share.
Anyway, here is one that I can share. I used the October Self Addressed kit for it. It's Ryan at Milburn Orchard.
Here's a back to school card. I cut the stars with my Cricut and added some MM letter stickers.
I glittered some Deluxe Designs chipboard on this one and added the jewels.
And this one has handcut flowers layered over some rubons. I added the BG Mellow stickers, too. Love the font on these!


In their control Monday: everything.
The air: Quarterback Dane Evans, the game MVP, threw for five touchdowns and 304 yards on 28-of-38 passing. The ground: D'Angelo Brewer ran for 105 yards and James Flanders ran for 101 yards, each on 17 carries. The other side of the ball: Tulsa's defense reached the end zone before they allowed Central Michigan to do so. Defensive tackle Jesse Brubaker leaped to interrupt as much as intercept Cooper Rush's short rollout pass and returned it 66 yards.
As Bonamego said, the Chippewas (6-7) couldn't finish drives. Corey Willis appeared to have one catch long enough to count as a touchdown before he lost control, but it was ruled incomplete. A 27-yard Rush scramble inside the Tulsa 1 got wiped out by a block-in-the-back penalty committed on a defender running away from the play.
Rush completed only 24 of 49 for 241 yards and threw three interceptions. He ended 11 yards short of the Mid-America Conference career record for passing yards.
The Golden Hurricane came out firing with their phasers on "kill." The first string offense never stopped going deep, never stopped gorging itself.
Up 27-3 in the third quarter, Tulsa took a Central Michigan offside penalty and a successful field goal off the board to go for a fourth-and-2 from the Chippewas' 17. James Flanders rumbled through a hole for the first down, picked up a defender at the 3-yard-line and barged into the end zone with two defenders on his back.
Evans worked wide receiver Josh Atkinson early, and Atkinson wound up with 12 catches for 131 yards. That made Tulsa the first team in FBS history with a 3,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers and two 1,000-yard wide receivers.
Some school history, too, with historic football names. Lucas' three touchdown catches put him at 32 for his career, tying the Tulsa record held by pro football Hall of Famer Steve Largent and 1970s Dolphins possession receiver Howard Twilley.
