Love for Dragonflies!
Created this card this morning for a wedding shower that I am attending later today. Sarah ...soon to be bride....loves dragonflies and part of the gift I gave her consisted of dragonfly wall art so when I found this dragonfly paper I was very excited because it was the perfect match to her theme and her love for dragonflies.
Basically quite a simple card, used swiss dot cuttlebug folder for the yellow base and scored it using my scor pal, tied on some pretty green/white dotted ribbon. Sarah's favourite colour is green (mine too) and the main colour for her wedding so felt the need to tie that colour in the card. Added some green, white and dragonfly paper as the focal point of the card adding a bit of glitter to the wings to give that extra bling!

TRENTON, N.J. — Marijuana could be grown, sold and used in New Jersey under new 60-page bill introduced Monday in the state Senate.
Democratic state Sen. Nicholas Scutari, the legislation's sponsor, said at a news conference that the measure has little chance of being enacted under Republican Gov. Chris Christie, who opposes legalization efforts.
But Scutari said he's introducing the measure now as a way to lay the groundwork for it to be enacted by the next governor. He pointed to states like Colorado that have successfully implemented recreational marijuana laws, and he called the country's marijuana prohibition a failure.
"It is time to end the detrimental effect these archaic laws are having on our residents and our state," Scutari said.
New Jersey has legalized medical marijuana but Christie, who is leading a White House commission examining the opioid crisis in the country for Republican President Donald Trump, has been a vocal opponent of relaxing marijuana laws.
"You can't be addicted to marijuana," said Sen. Scutari, when asked if legalization could cause a spike in drug-use, especially by young people. "This will do nothing to increase the underage usage, in fact, what I saw in Colorado, is that you see a decrease in it."
Scutari and other lawmakers visited Colorado to observe their practices.
"What we saw was extremely impressive," he said, calling it an eye-opening experience. "States that have legalized cannibas have not seen the doom-and-gloom scenarios that the critics had predicted."
He said legalization is working quite well in the states that have approved it, and he said public support for legalization is at an all-time high, with 60 percent of people in the United States in favor.
Democratic gubernatorial front-runner Phil Murphy has said he would support legalization and decriminalization efforts. Other Democrats running for governor, including Jim Johnson, state Sen. Ray Lesniak and Assemblyman John Wisniewski have said they would back legalization as well.
The GOP front-runner, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, said last week that Republican U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions likely wouldn't accept expansion of legalization, but stopped short of specifying what her position is on legalization. Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli has said he opposes legalization but favors broadening the state's medical marijuana program.
The legislation would permit possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused products in solids, 72 ounces in liquid form and 7 grams of concentrate for adults in New Jersey, ages 21 and up. It would prohibit home cultivation.
The legislation would establish a Division of Marijuana Enforcement, charged with regulating the industry. The legislation also would establish a sales tax on marijuana from 7 percent to 25 percent over five years to encourage early participation, Scutari said.
"I have no worries when it comes to cannabis," said Leo Bridgewater, a Trenton native and army veteran who said he uses medical marijuana to treat his PTSD, "my worries is more so in the opioid."
Colorado raked in an estimated $200 million in taxes from the marijuana industry in 2016, while New Jersey spends about $127 million per year on enforcement, according to a report by the ACLU. The cost-savings is something that even prosecutors in New Jersey say they can get behind.
The state would collect a 7 percent tax on all marijuana sales in the first year. The marijuana tax rate would rise incrementally to 25 percent within 5 years.
"I'm not a marijuana advocate," said Jon-Henry Barr, a ranking member of the New Jersey State Municipal Prosecutors Association. "I don't think people should be using marijuana. But I can't dispute that people are using marijuana and they should be doing it in a regulated fashion."
"When you go purchase alcohol, you know what the alcohol content is, it's right on the label. You know what you're purchasing. You know where it came from. If we did the same for marijuana, we'd all be safer."
Some who supported medical marijuana in New Jersey say they have reservations about the bill.
"It seems very skewed towards the marijuana industry," said Roseanne Scotti of New Jersey Drug Policy Alliance. Scotti believes home-grown marijuana should be allowed and she says that those with prior marijuana convictions should be able to have the crimes expunged once recreational marijuana is made legal.

This year we will be exploring Science and Social Studies topics while connecting it to our language arts skills and mathematics skills.
We will explore new information through informational texts, hands-on activities, experiments, internet resources and class discussions.
Discipline: Students are to adhere to the schools discipline policy stated in the student handbook.
- Be in seats, with appropriate materials, and prepared to work when the class begins.
- Be independent and honorable in doing work.
- Show respect and cooperation for all fellow peers, and all authority figures, including aides.
- Use courteous language at all times.
- Ask to be excused from class only when absolutely necessary.
- Respect the personal space of others.
- Respect other's right to work and avoid unnecessary noises or distractions.
- Be sure to attend all classes. Cutting class is a serious offense and truancy is a violation of civil law (NJSAI8A:38-25).
Students will follow the RED/YELLOW/GREEN behavior plan. Every student begins each day with a GREEN card. However, students that do not adhere to any of the standard classroom rules, which are posted throughout the classroom, will receive the following consequences. Adjustments will be made if a situation arises that is severe.
- First offense- results in a Yellow card allowing the student to be forwarned that any further discipline action will result in a red card.
- Second offense- results in a Red card, results in a recess detention.
- Two red cards in a week will require the student to call their parent informing them of the situation.
- Additional Offences result in an after school detention.
Homework Assignments: Students will be given time in class to make sure their homework is written down. Unless otherwise noted, all assignments are due the next school day.
Absent Work: Students are expected to make make up work when they are absent from school. It is also the students responsibility to make up missed work due to band or chorus.
Birthdays: We love to celebrate birthdays in fourth grade! Please contact the school nurse with the ingredient list of any birthday treats. School policy states that sugar may not be the first ingredient. Birthdays will be celebrated in the cafeteria during lunch time.
Successful students engage in all aspects of their learning. By using both formative and summative assessment, all learners will have the opportunity to their greatest marked achievement.
Formative assessment is defined as any work that is a practice of the skills being taught in class. Examples of formative assessment include:
essay/journal writing, projects,
participation, self-assessment,
observations, and other creative
Summative assessments are given
periodically to determine, at a
particular point in time,what
students know and do not know.
Examples of summative assessment
include end of-chapter tests, unit
tests, and quizzes
Assessment Percentages:
- Formative 35%
- Summative 50%
- Perserveance/Grit 15%
You are encouraged to follow your student's
success through the parent portal
via the Hope Township School website.

regular use can also cause serious health problems.
Medical marijuana (cannabis) is gaining steam. So far, twenty-three states have enacted laws to legalize it. Four more have pending legislation, bills, and ballot measures in 2014.
Though research on the health benefits is still in its infancy, so far studies have shown that medical cannabis can help ease the symptoms nausea and vomiting, stimulate appetite, decrease muscle spasms, ease pain, and tame anxiety.
The drug can also create health problems, however. Below are the seven most concerning side effects you may want to be aware of.
Quick Note: The Effects Depend on the Plant
All cannabis isn't the same. Just as there are different varieties of tomatoes or potatoes, so too are there different varieties of cannabis, bred to create specific effects.
There are plants that have been fashioned to create psychoactive properties. There are also those that are bred, grown, and produced to contain little to no psychoactive effects, but powerful anti-anxiety, digestive, and potentially even anti-cancer effects.
So far, we have two general types of the plant:
- High-THC: Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the chemical in the cannabis plant most responsible for marijuana's psychological effects. It binds to certain nerve cells in the brain associated with memory, thinking, coordination, pleasure, and time perception. Though it can create a sense of euphoria, depending on the other compounds in the plant (or lack of them), it can also cause hallucinations, delusions, and other mental problems.
- High-CBD: CBD (cannabidiol) is believed to be the second most abundant "cannabinoid" (components unique to the plant) in cannabis, though it all depends on how the plants are bred and grown. In the quest for higher concentrations of THC, levels of CBD were often sacrificed, but with new research showing what CBD can do in the health world, that's starting to change. CBD is a non-psychoactive component of marijuana that is thought to actually counter the negative psychoactive effects of THC, such as memory impairment and paranoia.
Currently, most of the potential damaging effects of marijuana seem to be attributed to high-THC types of the plant, because of its ability to affect the brain.
Potential Health Hazards of Cannabis
Studies are limited, but we have evidence that cannabis (particularly the high-THC variety) may cause health problems.
- Memory problems: Those who become dependent on the drug often experience memory impairments. A recent 2013 study reported significant working memory impairments in both healthy subjects and those with schizophrenia. Cannabis-using groups also had significant decreases in the volume of two brain areas important for learning and working memory. Healthy people who had never used marijuana scored 37 times better, on average, on memory tests, than those who had smoked in the past.
- Schizophrenia: A large study conducted over 15 years and involving over 45,000 participants found that high consumers of cannabis (used on more than 50 occasions) were over 600 percent more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia than those who didn't take it. A later study published in the British Medical Journal also showed that those who used cannabis as teens had a 10 percent chance of developing psychosis by the age of 26. Additional studies from Sweden, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Israel, all show that cannabis use in childhood and adolescence doubles the risk of psychosis or schizophrenia.
- Drop in IQ: A 2013 study linked smoking marijuana during the teen years with a decline in IQ levels. Researchers used data from the Dunedin Longitudinal Study, which was conducted in Dunedin, New Zealand, and included over 1,000 individuals born in 1972 and 1973, who were followed from birth to age 38. Individuals who started using cannabis in adolescence and continued to use it for years afterwards lost an average of 8 IQ points. Those who never used it experienced a slight increase in IQ. A later study questioned the results of the original, but scientists successfully defended their findings.
- Panic attacks: Though some recreational users say cannabis helps them relax, and the drug has been used in some medical situations for that reason, it can affect some people in the opposite way, actually causing more anxiety. According to Harvard Health, studies report that about 20-30 percent of recreational users have anxiety problems after smoking marijuana. One study, for example, found that those who were dependent on cannabis were over two times more likely to have a lifetime diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. The difference in effect between users may also be due to the THC content—lower THC varieties have a calming effect, while high-THC can cause intense episodes of anxiety.
- Heart disease: Some studies have indicated that cannabis use may increase risk of heart disease. A small 2013 study, for instance, found that marijuana use may contribute to heart and artery disease among young and middle-aged adults, particularly those who already had risk factors, like high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Another study from Boston's Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center and Harvard Medical School found that marijuana increased risk of having a heart attack within the first hour of smoking to five times that of non-smokers. More research needs to be done on this one, but it's worth cautioning those with other risk factors for heart disease, as studies have shown marijuana increases heart rate and blood pressure, making the heart work harder.
- Infertility: Some studies have found that regular use of cannabis, especially in the younger years, can increase risk of infertility. In June 2014, for example, researchers reported that cannabis doubled the risk of men under 30 having poor sperm unable to fertilize an egg. Researchers added that it takes three months to produce sperm, so stopping smoking and expecting a fast rebound is unrealistic. An earlier animal study also found that cannabis could reduce the amount of testosterone produced by the body, while another human study found that marijuana-smoking college men had "hyper" sperm that were likely to burn out before reaching the egg, decreasing fertility. Researchers added that women who use the drug have THC in their reproductive organs, where it can negatively affect sperm.
- Weakened immune system: Cannabis has been found to suppress the immune system. A 2010 study, for example, found that smoking marijuana could trigger a suppression of the body's immune system, leaving users more susceptible to infections and certain types of cancers. The research team from South Carolina looked strictly at THC compounds, and found they triggered a massive number of immune-suppressor cells in the body—the same cells that are triggered when cancer cells grow, weakening the ability of the immune system to kill them.
Were you aware of these health dangers of marijuana? What do you think?

Former football star and convicted felon O.J. Simpson on Thursday asked four parole board members in Nevada to release him from prison, and they granted him parole.
Simpson will be released in October, when he will have served the minimum of nine years behind bars. The earliest date he'll be on the street is October 1, 2017.
Simpson received a 33-year sentence in 2008 for an armed robbery involving two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Veteran cross-platform journalist Ron Olsen joined the Scott Garceau Show to recount his side of covering the madness from the 90's all the way up to OJ's situation right now. "What should have been about a 15-25 minute hearing was stretched out to an hour and 15 minutes.
Olsen was among the first journalists to arrive at the Bundy murder scene and was KTLA's principal field reporter for coverage of the O.J. Simpson criminal and civil trials which continued for nearly three years.
Olsen said, "I will always remember the blood. It was just a horrific scene. After 40 years in journalism, I've seen a lot of bad stuff, but that was something." Olsen also discussed the car chase that occurred during the low-speed pursuit.
"What I'm wondering… what's he going to do next?" says Olsen.

Lewis hamilton will go gunning for glory in today's Monaco Grand Prix if given the chance - but he will not take risks.
Hamilton will start second on the Monte Carlo grid behind McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso, with the Woking marque locking out the front row for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix in 2005.
The reigning world champion snatched pole from the current leader of the drivers' standings in the dying seconds, with the latter's own final flying lap ruined by Mark Webber.
As for title rivals Ferrari, Felipe Massa, who has started on pole in the last three races and won the last two, is third, with Kimi Raikkonen down in 15th.
The Finn clipped a barrier in Q2 as he exited the swimming pool complex, damaging the front-right wishbone of his car, leaving his mechanics with virtually no time to execute repairs.
The fact Ferrari have not won at this track since 2001 is unlikely to alter today if McLaren continue to enjoy the perfect weekend.
Much though, will depend on Hamilton and Alonso, and the run down to the first corner of Sainte Devote once the race starts.
Team principal Ron Dennis maintains he "will not have to tell them anything," as he feels he should "not to have to instruct them how to perform the first lap of a grand prix."
He added: "They are very switched-on, focused individuals and they know what to do."
If that is the case, it will then come down to who makes the best start, and Hamilton has so far proven himself to be aggressive off the grid.
The 22-year-old said: "If I get a good start and it looks like I can pass, then I will."
But he knows he cannot be as attack-minded as he has previously, adding: "I won't do anything silly to risk pushing both of us out of the race.
"It's a long race, and I feel we can come away with a one-two, so it's important we go into it (the first corner) and be sensible.
"We're both professional, we respect each other, we're team-mates and we want to do a good job for the team.
"We also want to win, but we'll go into that first corner probably not as aggressively as we would if we were going into it with a Ferrari."
Behind Massa is Giancarlo Fisichella for Renault in fourth, with the Williams of Nico Rosberg fifth and Mark Webber's Red Bull sixth, followed by the Saubers of Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica.
Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button are a season-high ninth and 10th for Honda, while David Coulthard's in 13th

NBC Dominates The Tuesday Night Ratings With "America's Got Talent" And "World of Dance"
The ratings for the premiere of World Of Dance Season 2 are down a little from last season's premiere, but, it came in second after "America's Got Talent" and NBC dominated the night. More below from Variety. Be sure to read the link for more.
NBC handily won Tuesday night with the season premieres of "America's Got Talent" and "World of Dance." However, both shows–particularly "World of Dance"–were down from last season's premieres.
"America's Got Talent," airing from 8-10 p.m., averaged a 2.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 12.1 million viewers, making it easily the top-rated and most-watched show of the night. It was down approximately 11% in the demo and 2% in total viewers from the Season 12 premiere last May.
In its second season debut, "World of Dance" averaged a 1.8 and 7.2 million viewers. That is down 25% in the demo and approximately the same percentage in total viewers compared to the Season 1 premiere. This season's premiere was in line with the first season's ratings average though and topped its timeslot by a wide margin.

Brother And Sister Held In Horan Death Probe
A brother and sister who are being questioned about the murder of Thomas Horan in Dublin have had their period of detention extended by a further 12 hours.
63 year old Horan was found dead on Monday in the bedroom of his apartment at Cambridge Court, a senior citizens' complex in Ringsend where he had been living for four years.
He is believed to have been strangled in the course of a robbery.
The 27-year-old man and the 37-year-old woman were detained yesterday afternoon. They can be questioned until around 9pm tonight by which time they must be charged or released.
Gardaí now believe the suspects involved in the killing left Mr Horan's home between around 2am.
They have issued an appeal to taxi drivers who may have picked up a man and a woman in the Ringsend area between 2am and 5am last Monday to contact them.

Who is the fool, the fool, the fool that you are fooling?
Fool me once? Shame on you. Fool me twice? Shame on me. Fool me three times? Fool, please. I'm not buying what you're selling.
The only way I've found to ensure that I consistently take multi-vitamins and supplements is to buy them as gummies. Further evidence of my refusal to grow up— which, by the way, is grossly overrated.

West Palm Beach Bus Accident Attorney
Traveling by bus is one of the safest forms of transportation. That said, however, there has been an increase in bus accidents in recent years. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the number of fatal bus crashes increased 11 percent from 2007 to 2015.
While the number of bus-involved crashes is relatively low, the loss of life, incidence of severe injury, and damage to property is comparatively high given the speed and weight of these vehicles. If you have experienced loss or injury, an experienced LaBovick Law Group bus accident lawyer will act as your guide through the complex legal process. Ready to get started? Try our free online personal injury case calculator to see how much your case could be worth.
How Can a Bus Accident Attorney in West Palm Beach Help You?
Whether on board a metro, school, or tour bus, an accident is traumatizing. Beyond injuries and damage, there is a loss of trust. You have entrusted your safety to another party, and they have failed you. But who is at fault?
This is what makes bus accidents so complicated: is the driver to blame? The bus company? The manufacturer? Other drivers? The city or municipality? Was their negligence? Neglect? Recklessness? Criminal behavior (e.g. driving under the influence)? Were roads or conditions dangerous? Was equipment defective or improperly maintained?
We will help you sort out the tangle of legalities. With over two decades of experience, the LaBovick Law Group will present a thoroughly researched case against the proper party(ies) to ensure that you are appropriately compensated for injury and/or property damage.
Experience and Expertise At Work for You
If you are a victim, you need a West Palm Beach bus injury lawyer to fight on your behalf. When dealing with insurance companies, people often greatly underestimate the true cost of their suffering. We will work ceaselessly to make sure you are compensated expenses including, but not limited to:
- Emergency and ongoing medical care.
- Physical, occupational, and vocational therapy.
- Counseling.
- Property damage.
- Loss of income.
- Wrongful death.
When your sense of safety or that of a loved one is violated, our team works as your advocate to assist you in moving on with your life. Contact the LaBovick Law Group to ensure your bus accident case is solid, persuasive, and most importantly, successful.

Laundry on the LineBy 49thShelf
A Run on Hose
Rona Altrows' short stories go to the core of what it is to be human — to cherish a departed mate beyond reason, to love a child to distraction, to keep the faith with a friend no matter what, to laugh in the face of self-doubt. This collection delivers a humorous yet poignant series of tales told from the perspectives of women.
Laundry Lines
With grace and courage Ann Elizabeth Carson looks to the past from the perspective of a contemporary feminist. A lively evocation of her aunts and their home in Cheltenham, Ontario reveals the rich and powerful ground for her own emerging sense of herself. As Toronto in the '30s, '40s and '50s comes to life in a rare blend of prose and poetry, Ann Elizabeth is caught unawares as the stories collectively uncover events that shaped her social-political outlook and reveal how our untold stories are …
Frequent, small loads of laundry
In her debut collection, poet Rhonda Ganz, brazenly mixes darks with lights and dares to peg out the quirky and bizarre, both real and imagined, with all seams showing. From spontaneous combustion to suicide, from pterodactyls to pumpkin pie, Ganz is obsessed with the way people behave in moments of intimacy and domesticity. With her sharp wit and painterly abstractions, she pairs the banal with the absurd to expose the flaws of love –the frayed edges of belief and despair. Strung up, these po …
Armin's Shorts
Showcasing a selection of stories from Armin Wiebe's 30 year writing career, Armin's Shorts features tales from the familiarly fictitious Mennonite community of Gutenthal, re-imagined origin stories from the Tli?cho? of the subarctic, and flights of pure fantasy set in modern day Winnipeg.
Funny enough to make your "grandmother sit up in her black trough coffin and laugh," and so gut wrenching you'll feel "that clunk in the heart, and that wrunsch in the stomach," master story teller, Armin Wieb …
Out to Dry in Cape Breton
Like the laundry that greets readers at the start of Anita Laheys astonishing debuthanging on clothelines and bodied out in breezesthe poems in Out to Dry in Cape Breton exist in a state of thrumming levitation. Laheys scampish play with idioms, her accelerated sense of traditional forms, and her omnivorous eye for fresh imagery lead to a poetry constantly streaming with surprises. These are musical, hyperstimulated, shape-shifting poems that draw on their subjectsa high diver, World War I femal …
Neighbours are Watching
Tony MacKenzie is a beloved historian, teacher and storyteller. He has written three bestselling books, The Irish in Cape Breton, The Harvest Train, and Scottish Lights. The Neighbours are Watching is Tony's first foray into what might be called "fiction"- but readers will recognize the stories as undoubtedly "true."
The Erotics of Memory
The poems in Erotics of Memory explore the wounds of desire that force us together and force us apart. They are sensual dreams about hunters of flesh and lovers who appear in animal or all-too-human shapes.

12 Hottest Famous Guys (Brits Vs. Americans) ...

Obama's death panels return: Rationing is at heart of President's health plan
There is a dirty secret about health care that President Obama hopes will escape the headlines. In his newly released plan to "reform" Medicare as part of overall deficit reduction, Obama has punted actual cost-cutting and instead proposed a panel – the Independent Payment Advisory Board – to recom
Mass. Medical Plan Foretells Obamacare's Ills
Five years ago, Massachusetts' then-Gov. Mitt Romney approved a new medical plan that requires almost all state residents to have health insurance, just as Obamacare's individual mandate would for the entire nation.
Today in Massachusetts, the wait time to see a doctor can be as long as seven weeks, and many doctors won't accept patients in the subsidized insurance program. That does not bode well for national healthcare reform if it is fully implemented as planned by President Barack Obama and the Democrats.
A new study by the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS), which has 23,000 physicians and student members and publishes the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, takes an in-depth look at healthcare in Massachusetts under the state program, which is often regarded as a model for Obama's 2010 healthcare reforms. Among its findings:
• The average wait time for an appointment with an internist is 48 days, and the wait time to see a family physician is 36 days.
• The average wait time for pediatricians is 24 days, according to the MMS's "2011 Study of Patient Access to Health Care."
• Access to primary care physicians is becoming more restricted — 53 percent of family physicians and 51 percent of internists are not accepting new patients.
• Patients wait an average of 43 days to see a gastroenterologist, and 41 days to see an obstetrician/gynecologist.
• While 87 percent of family physicians accept Medicare, only 62 percent accept MassHealth, the state's version of Medicaid.
• Only 56 percent of family physicians and 43 percent of internists accept Commonwealth Care, an insurance program for adults who don't have private health insurance and don't qualify for Medicare. Just 44 percent of family physicians and 35 percent of internists accept Commonwealth Choice, a program for uninsured adults that offers unsubsidized health insurance to people who are not eligible for Medicaid or Commonwealth Care.
• Due, in part, to a shortage of doctors participating in the program, the number of emergency room visits has actually risen under the Massachusetts plan.
"Massachusetts has made great strides in securing insurance coverage for its citizens, but insurance coverage doesn't equal access to care," said Alice Coombs, M.D., president of the MMS. "We still have much work to do to reduce wait times and widen access. This has important implications for healthcare cost control, as difficulty or delay with routine access to care leads people to seek other options, such as the emergency room, which is much more costly."

Midlife Cowboy Theatre Tickets
We do not curently have theatre tickets available for Midlife Cowboy. This could be because we have simply sold out or it could be that this show is no longer running. The information on this page remains purely for historical and informational purposes.
Midlife Cowboy is a warm, funny and entertaining new musical written by comedian and best-selling author Tony Hawks. Featuring a cast of talented actors and musicians, it is tale of heartache, love, and friendship with some great new country, blues, romantic and comedy songs. The show follows the fortunes of the members of the Swindon Country and Western Club as they discover the true nature of heroism in their bid to end many years of hurt by finally winning first prize at the prestigious local Railway Museum Gala Evening!
The stakes are high but this is not just about country music. A marriage is in crisis, friendships are at risk, there is more than a sniff of infidelity in the air, and lives are changed when two new members to the club arrive and turn everything upside down.
Debra Stephenson stars as Jane, a country music loving puppet-maker who is trying to save her failing marriage and revive their home based Cowboy Club. Debra is one of Britain's most talented actors and impressionists and her credits include Coronation Street, Bad Girls, Dead Ringers, The Impressions Show and most recently The Imitation Game. Tony Hawks plays her midlife crisis suffering husband Stuart. A regular on many of BBC Radio 4's best loved comedy programmes including Just a Minute, I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue and The Unbelievable Truth. Tony is also one of the UK's most successful authors having written many best selling books including Round Ireland with a Fridge. Their friends include Duncan Wisbey (Graham) an actor, musician and impressionist best known for Alistair McGowan's Big Impression, Dead Ringers, Four in a Bed, The Hive and Ultimate Brain, Georgina Field (Penny) whose multiple skills have led her to perform in numerous musicals around the UK including Godspell, Salad Days, The Phantom of the Opera and Guys & Dolls and James Thackeray (Dan), an outstanding young actor who has been seen in Doctor Who and is soon to appear in Trainspotting: Live at the Edinburgh Fringe

There are many ways an artist can sell art online. You can build an online art gallery, sell your art on Third-Party websites or auction your art with sites like eBay. If you are new to online sales you might want to consider learning how to sell art on Etsy before you think about designing a website.
How to Sell Art on Etsy
I didn't know anything about online sales when I started selling art online in the early 2000s.
I noticed artists were auctioning their original art on eBay.
I decided to give it a try.
I enjoyed the challenge of learning how to sell and market art online and knew at that time it would be the most cost efficient way for me to make a career with my art.
I spent every day since then learning about online art marketing and still keep up with all the changes in digital marketing.
Throughout the years, I have experimented with multiple Third-Party platforms, eBay, Etsy and built my own sites.
With everything I have learned over the past fifteen years, I still believe it is an excellent idea to start selling art with platforms like Etsy or eBay. You will be able to have a place where you can sell your art while you are learning the science of online marketing.
After you have built a following it will be more cost efficient for you to own your own website. But first, learn everything you can about selling art online.
Etsy Shop
Before you can learn how to sell art on Etsy, you will need to set up an Etsy shop.
This step will be the easiest step for you to take. You can have an Etsy shop up and running in less than twenty minutes and it is free. You will just have to pay a small fee for listing an item and a small fee when it sells.
I have developed a video tutorial that will show you step by step everything you will need to do for you to have your first piece of art available for sale on your new Etsy Shop.
Build an Audience
After you have your listings live on Etsy, you will have to spend some time letting people know you have art available for sale. You can do this by telling everyone you know and developing an art marketing plan.
Etsy's top sellers understand the importance of marketing and promoting their products. No matter how good your art is, if you want to sell on Etsy, you will need to drive traffic to your listings. Art does not sell itself.
Here are some tips to help you start building brand awareness.
The quality of your images will determine if you land a sale or not. They represent the quality of your work.
Keep in mind when you are uploading an image, the viewer cannot see or touch your art in person.
Invest in a good camera and learn some basics about photography.
You might want to consider hiring or asking someone to help you if you struggle taking photographs.

How to Sell Art on Etsy - Space Your Listings
One way to have your listing seen is by spacing the time you list your products.
When you post a new item on Etsy it will be shown at the top Etsy's search for a brief period.
You can increase the chance of having your art seen if you list them at various times throughout the week.
Don't get too excited and list all of your products at once. You will see better results listing an item once a day or once a week.
Tags are like keywords. They are frequently used words people use to find items in Etsy's search.
Take advantage of Etsy's recommended tags. Etsy has been around for a long time and understands what people are searching for. You do not have to reinvent the wheel. Use their advice.
For example, if you sell horse paintings use the suggestions that best match your art.
Instead of using "Horse Watercolor Art", you might do better with "Horse Painting."
Before you list a product, do a search for something that is similar to what you will be selling. Use the tags that closely represent your item.
The next step is to write about the art you have listed for sale.
What inspired you to create the art you are showcasing?
What is the story behind your art?
Where did you create it?
When did you create it?
You want people to have a connection to your art. If you can do this you will increase the odds of landing a sale.
Blogging might be one of the best SEO tips for Etsy you can implement. Your blog posts will still be relevant even if you decide to branch out and build your own website in the future. After you have your items listed for sale, your job is to make it easy for people to find you. This is done by writing great content about you as an artist and your art.
One writing tip I want to share with you is to keep it simple. Make your stories entertaining and easy to understand. Most people just skim through articles. If you make the content hard to digest, your reader will just leave the post.
Social Media
You will want to develop a social media marketing plan. Social media is a great tool for artists to build brand awareness.
There are some good practices you will want to become familiar with.
Many artists make the same mistakes over and over again. They only try to sell on social media networks. They spend no time socializing with their audience. This will get you nowhere.
Social networks are for socializing not selling.
You will see better results if you use social media to build relationships with your followers. Take the time to get to know your audience, and let them get to know you as an artist.
A person will be more willing to purchase from you after you have built their trust.
Use social media to keep your audience up-to-date with your blog, art, and events. Include links to your posts so it will be easy for your audience to learn more about what you are sharing.
Do not just post when you have a new item for sale. That is a sure way to lose your audience quickly.
Pricing Your Etsy Handmade Crafts
For you to make a profit selling your work on Etsy, you will need to know how much it costs to create your artwork or crafts.
Calculate the cost of all the supplies associated with the piece you are selling.
You will need to make that amount just to break even.
You will also want to add in the cost of your time. This is where it can become difficult.
If you are new to selling, you will want to take some time researching your competitors. Find out how much artists are selling their art that is like yours.
After you have the cost of creating your art and an average price of similar art, you will have an idea of what people will be willing to spend.
The value of your art will increase over time. As you become known online for your art you will be able to slowly increase your prices.
Now you know how to sell art on Etsy.
All you have to do now is set up your Etsy shop and list your art for sale.
After you have your listings live, promote, promote and promote some more. Tell the world you are an artist and you have art for sale.

Bill Foot 1946-2000
The Appalachian Trail community lost a prominent supporter, volunteer, hiker, and maintainer in May, when Bill Foot died at his Lynchburg, Virginia, home. He was 53. Foot and wife, Laurie, known as "The Happy Feet," thru-hiked the AT in 1987 and were instrumental in organizing the 1995 Backpacker AT Tag-Team Thru Hike. Beyond the AT, Foot was involved in the American Discovery Trail and efforts to improve trail conditions.

Planning Your Trip
This guide contains general information regarding Grand Teton National Park's backcountry. For specific information obtain a topographic map of the park or a hiking guide. The map on the other side of this guide is only for planning purposes and selecting campsites. As you plan your trip, consider every member of your party. Also consider the distance and elevation gain to your destination. There is no shuttle service in the park.but taxi services are available from the local community. If you have only one vehicle, you may want to plan a loop trip that returns to the same trailhead. July and August are the busiest times because there is less snow in the high country. Weekends and holidays are busiest for boaters on Jackson Lake.
Click here to view backcountry map.
Getting A Permit
Permits are required for all overnight trips. To minimize impacts on park resources, backcountry permits are limited. One-third of the backcountry campsites and all of the groupsites may be reserved in advance. The rest are filled first-come, first-served at park permit offices.
The park backcountry is very popular. Reservations are recommended. Requests are accepted by mail, fax or in person from January 1st to May 15th. Requests are processed in the order received. Include your name, address, and daytime telephone number, the number of people, and your preferred campsites and dates. It is best to include alternate dates and campsites. Write to Grand Teton National Park, Permits Office, P.O. Drawer 170, Moose, WY 83012 or fax to (307) 739-3438. Reservations may be made in person at the Moose Visitor Center, open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We will return written confirmation within two weeks. Phone reservations are not accepted. Call (307) 739-3309 or (307) 739-3397 for more information. A non-refundable service fee of $15 will be charged for each reservation.
Picking Up Your Permit
A reservation holds your permit but does not replace your permit. Obtain permits in person at the Moose and Colter Bay Visitor Centers or the Jenny Lake Ranger Station in the summer. During winter, permits may be picked up only at the Moose Visitor Center. You may get a permit as early as the day before your trip begins. Have alternate destinations and dates in mind in case your first choice is full. A reserved permit must be picked up by 10 a.m. the morning of your trip or it will become available to others. You may call to inform us if you will be late. If you know you will not be using your permit, please cancel your reservation as soon as possible.
Permit Parameters
By signing the backcountry permit you agree to respect the backcountry. Printed on the back of your permit are some of the backcountry regulations. Read and abide by them. Failure to comply with regulations may result in fines and revocation of the permit.
Group Size
Individual parties consist of 1 to 6 people. Groups of 7 to 12 people are limited to camping in designated Groupsites able to withstand the impact of larger groups. In winter, parties are limited to 20 people.
Backcountry Conditions
Snow usually melts from valley trails by mid-June but remains in the high country through much of the summer. Safe travel over Paintbrush, Static Peak, and Moose Basin Divides and Hurricane, Mt. Meek, and Fox Creek Passes requires an ice axe and knowledge of its use until as late as August. Snow conditions vary from year to year. Check with a ranger for current information. Trails begin at about 6800 feet in elevation. Expect to encounter horses and yield to them by stepping off the uphill side of the trail and standing quietly until they pass. Boaters should be aware of strong afternoon winds.
Permits are not required for mountaineering, but climbers on overnight trips must have a backcountry permit to camp or bivouac. Ask for the Mountaineering brochure. Current and detailed information is available at the Jenny Lake Ranger Station in the summer, (307) 739-3343. In the winter call (307) 739-3309. From June through September, all Garnet Canyon permits and permits for any trip involving technical climbing or mountaineering should be picked up at the Jenny Lake Ranger Station.

Despite the importance of demand response, there has been little exploration of its potential impact on the individual or society. To address this gap, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 households in the south of England, in which two demand response vignettes were presented: peak pricing and remote demand control during critical peaks. Peak pricing was seen as inequitable, burdening the less affluent, the less healthy, families and working mothers. Adverse societal outcomes may result from peak pricing, with potential for disruption of time-dependent household routines including the socially vital ritual of family mealtimes. Householders perceived their peak-time consumption to be determined by society's temporal patterns and not within their control to change. Third-party control in demand side management was perceived to contravene householders' rights of control inside their homes. Alternative approaches to shifting peak demand, which combine technological, economic and socio-psychological insights, are considered.

If the acne long position in painted blush, a finger dipped in blush mixed with the right amount of concealer, then gently applied on acne, so Concealer effect will be more natural.
Eye Bags:
The swelling area with a light concealer, in a dark concealer cream uplift cast parts, which can uplift and sunken fuzzy boundaries. However, the two colors must be together very naturally, will cover the effects so without a trace.
You can use a fine brush, first dipped into the amount of concealer in thin bags under the shadow of the site to draw a line, and then tap the finger belly evenly. This amount can be controlled to avoid too heavy.
If the skin is dry eye, concealer can be mixed with conventional liquid foundation, increasing moisturizing and ductility.
Also, note that bags should be coordinated with the color portion and the entire face complexion.

3D printing to make spare parts for bodies
The medical technology of bioprinting, artificially creating human organs and body parts, is racing ahead. How long could it be before we can replace any part of our bodies?
Totally life-changing, is how Stephen Power described his operation. Two years ago a bad motorcycle accident left him with severe damage to his face. 'I broke both cheekbones, top jaw, my nose and fractured my skull.'
For the first time in the UK, surgeons in Swansea operated on his face using 3D printing to create precisely designed artificial bones. The result has been an outstanding success. His chief surgeon said the 3D printing took away the guesswork that can be so difficult in reconstructive work: 'I think it's incomparable – the results are in a different league from anything we've done before.'
This is just the latest in a series of impressive and rapid advances for the technology. Computer-operated 3D printers which create objects layer by layer in plastic have been around since the 1980s. Now affordable versions for use at home are coming onto the market.
Recently there has been considerable research into bioprinting – in which organs and body parts are created in a similar way in living tissue. In this process, layers of living cells are deposited onto a gel medium and slowly built up to form three-dimensional structures. Last year a human ear was successfully created to correct a congenital birth defect. Transplants have also been made of bio-printed windpipes and bladders. The race is now on between biotechnology companies to see who can produce a workable, full-size bio-printed liver first.
Some suggest that in the future, damaged or worn-out organs or limbs might be as easily changed as going to the garage and putting a new set of tyres on the family car. And if that could be done endlessly, it holds out the possibility that humans could live with good health and fitness for many times our current lifespans – even, in theory, forever.
A matter of life and death
Many are predicting that at some point in the future it will be possible to replace almost any part of our body. At present there are far too few human organs available for transplant and many people die before finding a suitable match for their liver, kidney or heart. Being able to bioprint organs on demand would save thousands of lives every year.
But bioprinting also raises profound and troubling moral questions. While fewer people would die young and many would live happier, healthier and longer lives, who would control this technology? It would be an alarming prospect indeed if a company could develop organs and charge whatever it liked for their use, giving it the power of life and death over those in desperate need. And it could create a disturbing schism between those wealthy enough to be able to afford this superhuman surgery, and those growing old in their imperfect bodies.
You Decide
- Are there any possible dangers in bioprinting technology?
- If you needed a transplant would you prefer an organ from another person or one which was created by bioprinting? Why?
- Imagine you were able to live for 300 years. What would be the advantages and disadvantages?
- Discuss who should have access to healthcare and why. Should non-smokers be given lung transplants before smokers, for example? Should the ability to pay ever play a part?
Some People Say...
"Do not try to live forever, you will not succeed.'George Bernard Shaw"
What do you think?
- Living for centuries sounds great. Who wouldn't want that?
- Living longer in good health is very desirable; unhappiness in old age is often caused by ill health. But if you lived for centuries, even without disease, you might well get lonely having outlived your family and your friends. As we get older our brain's capacity to learn new things and adjust to new situations decreases, so you could also be unhappy living in a hugely different world to the one you grew up in.
- How long is it likely to be before bioprinted organs and body parts are widely available?
- Although many biotechnology companies are working on it and the financial rewards would be large, it will probably be decades before that is a possibility. Printing with living cells is much more complex than printing objects in plastic.
Word Watch
- Bioprinting
- Creating living tissue with a 3D printer, layer by layer, for research, drug development and testing, and ultimately for producing replacement organs for transplants. They could be made on demand from patients' own cells and thus would not be rejected by their immune systems.
- Congenital
- A congenital disease is one which is present when a baby is born or which appears shortly after.
- Transplant
- The first successful organ transplant was carried out in 1954. As it was between genetically identical twins, the donor kidney was not rejected by the patient's immune system. The first successful heart transplant took place in 1967. The patient survived 18 days. Improvements in suppressing the body's rejection of the organ mean that today tens of thousands of transplants are performed each year worldwide with good survival rates.

Prepare to have your minds blown, boys and girls.
Eating at night doesn't make you gain weight.
Whaaaat? No way Ariana, you're fuckin' crazy. Your metabolism slows down at night and your body goes into "fat storage" mode.
No. Not at all. You know what makes you gain weight? Eating too much. Sitting in front of the TV for two hours eating a bag of potato chips and drinking beer makes you gain weight. Not eating past 7pm.
Who made 7pm the weight gain witching hour anyway? I often hear people talking about how they won't eat anything past 7pm. "Last night was horrible, I didn't get home from work until after 7 and by that point it was too late to eat" So what? You starved yourself instead? Because that's conducive to weightloss.
Do you gain weight when you eat after 7pm regardless of whether you woke up at 6am or 3pm? What about people who do graveyard shifts and do much of their eating past 7pm? Are they destined to be overweight until they find a 9-5 job? If I hopped on a plane tomorrow and flew to Ontario, would I start gaining weight at 7pm BC time or 7pm Ontario time? If someone can answer these questions then maybe I'll cut this theory some slack. But until then, this belief needs to disappear.
The reason people associate nighttime eating with weight gain is because our eating habits tend to go downhill at night. Although we don't all exercise in the morning or afternoon, in general we do tend to be more active. We walk to and from the car, do some housework, get up from our desks to go to the photocopier or bathroom, wander around the building pretending to look busy, that kind of thing.
Eating patterns also tend to be more structured earlier in the day as well. After breakfast, those who work daytime jobs are often limited in feeding opportunities. Lunch is usually at a set time, and depending on the nature of work you do there may only be time for a quick snack before dinner. Food choices aren't always of the best quality, but there's generally less time to stuff your face with shit.
But when the work day is said and done and you're back in the comforts of your home, that's when things get real. You have a carb-filled dinner followed by a sugar-filled dessert, and probably a couple of glasses of wine to balance your palate. Then you plop yourself on the couch to watch your shows and since you're feeling peckish, you bring a bag of pretzels to the party as well.
By this point you've probably consumed around 1500 calories. All while sittin' on your behind and not doing much else. THAT is what makes you gain weight.
People have the tendency to really complicate weight loss. And yes, when you really get down to the nitty gritty details there's a whole lot of "what the fuck" goin' on. But weight loss, in its most basic form is a matter of calories in versus calories out. Simple as that.
When I wake up in the morning feeling much more bloated than I did the day before, it's not because I ate past 7. It's because I ate a Quest bar smothered in almond butter and dipped in peanut butter, with a bowl of yogurt and an apple topped with more peanut butter on the side. It's because I ate like 4 days' worth of nut butter servings in 1 sitting while staring at the television. But hey. That's life, and if eating 8 tablespoons of peanut butter is wrong then I don't want it to be right.
But for those of you who aren't looking to embrace the bulking lifestyle like I currently am, I have a few suggestions to help with the nighttime munchies.
My first tip is to eat your damn breakfast. ESPECIALLY if you're part of the "shun food past 7" cult. You want to talk about fat storage mode? Starve your body for 15 hours and then give it a muffin and coffee filled with cream and sugar like 80% of the corporate world does. The don't eat again for a few more hours until you're so famished you eat your entire pantry when you get home.
If you start your day with a satisfying breakfast, you'll be less likely to gorge on shit later in the day. Science says so right here. Or at least Arianna Huffington thinks so, and that's enough for me.
Next tip is to stop the mindless eating! When we sit in front of the computer or television and nom away we aren't really paying attention to our body's full signals. We don't realize we're satiated (which we usually already are when we pull out that bag of chips to start with) until we realize the bag of chips is almost empty and we feel disgustingly full.
If you do find it necessary to eat mindlessly (hey, no judgement here…I'm totally guilty of it myself sometimes), at least don't eat straight out of the bag. Grab yourself a bowl and portion that shit out! That way when the bowl is empty you're done. And if not….well at least you're getting up and moving to get more.
And my biggest tip to prevent weight gain from night time snacking? Get some activity in throughout the day! If you're expending more calories through exercise, your body needs to take in more calories, even if you're looking to lose weight. Making one huge change can be pretty challenging. If you're a habitual snacker, telling yourself you aren't going to have any post-dinner snacks ever again is going to seem really awful.
But if you increase your activity levels throughout the day to burn a few extra calories and practice portion control when the night time munchies do hit, you'll be less likely to derail all of your hard work.
Do you find that your eating habits tend to deteriorate as the day goes on? Do you have any tactics to help fight the nighttime munchies?
Your posts are so good! This was so interesting as I don't eat dinner until about 7:30/8:00PM every night. No nighttime munchies after that as I feel satisfied. If I eat before 6PM, I wake up at 3AM absolutely ravenous. I eat/snack at least every 2 hours through the day and that keeps me from craving sugar when I do that. If I don't eat well, I crave anything and everything sugar.
Thank you! 🙂
Yes I'm a late eater myself. That's great that you have found a good way to battle the sugar cravings! I definitely find eating consistently throughout the day helps, but I don't know if my insane urge to eat chocolate ever really goes away…sometimes it's just easier to say no to than others 🙂
The only thing that curbs my appetite in evening other than snacking is exercise. I can start a run hungry, but when I'm done food is the last thing I'm interested in. Otherwise, air popped popcorn is my go-to snack in the evening to curb hunger without blowing a days worth of eating well!
Waddya know! I just had a bowl of air-popped popcorn. Great minds think alike 😉
great article! agree 100% 🙂
Thank you! I like going to bed satisfied 🙂
