Step 1
1.1 Open Photoshop. Create a New Document. Set the length and width to 5×5 inches. Any size can work, but a square size makes center alignment more exact.
1.2 Go to File > "Place Embedded"
1.3 Select image then resize the image to fit the document size. It is not absolutely necessary to resize the image, but it does ensure that you will align the picture symmetrically.
1.4 Hit "Enter" to place.
Step 2
In the Layers Panel…
2.1 Right click the "Background" layer > delete.
2.2 Right click image layer > "Rasterize"
Locate the Shape Tool (shortcut "U")…
2.3 Select the "Ellipse Tool"
2.4 Starting at the top right corner, click and drag to the opposite corner while holding "shift" to create a circle shape. Make sure that the circle is perfectly centered.
2.5 Back in the Layers Panel, Right click the Shape Layer > "Rasterize"
Step 3
3.1 Select the Magic Wand Tool (shortcut "w")
3.2 Make sure you have the shape layer selected, use the Magic Wand and click the circle. This will create a dashed line around the shape.
3.3 In the Layer Panel, select the image layer
3.4 Copy with command+c then Paste with command+v. Once you paste, the dashed line should disappear, and a new layer will have been created.
3.5 In the Layers Panel, Delete the shape layer and Delete the image layer. Do not delete the new layer you just created. This new layer is your circle-shaped image.
Step 4
4.1 Go to File > "Save As.."
4.2 Save the document as a .PNG This is important to turn the checkerboard edges into a transparent background.
4.3 Name your document and click Save. When you go to open your document, you will notice that the square edges are transparent, so that it is just a circle shape.

First of all let me talk about my fave item- the lip glossy. Its amazing. I don't think I will purchase the full size set of this but its mostly due to the scent. I LOVE coconut and was hoping this would smell like the beach but it really has a pretty strong rose scent. I know it says rose toner but i figured it would be more subtle. This is also my first time trying a cleansing oil and I don't think its the best fit for my skin but I am definitely going to give other kopari products a try.

Pool safety is a system of child-resistant barriers that restrict access to the pool area by children. Two factors are consistently identified with pool drownings and near drownings; access to the pool and adult supervision.
If access to the pool is restricted and maintained, the child is more likely to be supervised as someone has to let the child into the pool area.
"It is a sad fact that for every drowning death victim there are three to four near drowning survivors and that over 22% of near drowning victims are left with severe or persisting consequences."
Samuel Morris Foundation Director, Michael Morris
Although child deaths in NSW fell almost 40% in the past decade, the number of child drownings in backyard pools has not changed. The majority of child drownings occur in private pools/ spas.
National drowning statistics 2006-07 - supplied by 2007 National and NSW drowning reports
Between 2000-2005 in NSW there were 35 drownings, of which:

Pumpkin decorations in my office and house! When fall hits, I love spreading out all my little pumpkins and gourds around the house. This also helps me in my practice of mindfulness. It's fall, and while I want to be stressed about the fact that winter is coming, I'm choosing to enjoy where I am in the present. Pumpkins help with mindfulness:)

Having recently parted ways with the Universal Records Group (i.e. Mercury/PolyGram), KISS' Gene Simmons has reportedly been talking to several large independent record labels—including Spitfire—about inking a new deal for the band. However, while recent speculation has centered around the release of the group's long-completed Alive IV project, it now appears that Simmons and partner Paul Stanley have in fact been working with producer Bob Ezrin on the act's next studio album, which is unlikely to surface before 2003 at the earliest.
Another subject of much speculation, KISS' current line-up appears to no longer include guitarist Ace Frehley, who has been replaced by Tommy Thayer during the band's most recent live performances. Drummer Peter Criss, meanwhile, is said to be welcome to return to the fold provided that he accepts the original contract offered to him for the band's most recent tour (which he had previously rejected). However, in the event that he decides to not be part of the group, Eric Singer is said to be the frontrunner to play the drums on the upcoming record and during the subsequent live activities.

^^^ what Dave said. Your two biggest problems will be:
1. marathon training is hard work, obviously it wears you down physically but also mentally. It takes determination and commitment to see it through, but it sounds as though you're ready for that and that you've got it covered.
2. injury. You're going to be asking your body to do something it's not used to doing, over and over again. This conditioning is necessary, but can easily lead to your body breaking down if pushed too hard. Take it easy to begin with. When you do start doing long runs, take it easy and slow. "Listen to your body" - a cliché, but true - if something is sore, let it heal up before running on it again, otherwise you can end up with more serious problems.
But if you're determined and train properly there's no reason why you won't be in Greenwich in April. Do you have anyone who's run a marathon before who you could run with and train with? A local running club might also be worth a go, most running clubs are full of people who have made all the mistakes and are happy to help point you in the right direction.
I over-pronate as well and found that my new Brooks (can't remember which model now) running shoes gave me blisters when I ran anything over 6 miles... I also bought a pair of Ascis GT-2000 6 the make I've run in for years, and they don't give me any blisters at all. You may be different and find the opposite, but just to make you aware that there are different makes that will feel different.
Training two days in a row is fine, as you're not yet putting in massive distances.. its all about getting out there and running easily.. just to get miles in your legs, and building them up.
By the way the marathon is doable.. it takes a lot of hard work and commitment... but if you have a decent running base in place by November then you can do it!!! Remember go easy and build up those miles slowly.
I would be wary of doing consecutive days hard running. Treat one of them as an easy slow run and run faster or further for the other one. Especially as you start to run further, one of these runs will be your "important" run (maybe a longer run), and the other will just be an easy or recovery run. Don't push it too hard on both days, you need to makes sure that your body has a chance to recover.
Also, you'll find that you have good runs and bad runs, and there seems to be no reason why. Some days it's just harder than other days, and some days it just clicks and it's easy. Don't worry if this happens, it's normal. If you have a day where it all just seems like a huge effort, it doesn't mean you're unfit or going backwards, and the next run will probably seem much easier.
I bought a garmin vivoactive 3 which is a bit more expensive that 150 quid... but I would plump for a watch with a gps on it, so you know exactly how far you've run when you run outside...
Good on you for doing three days this week... I am finding it easier to run now the temps are not as hot as they were in June and July.
Other brands are available......but I would go with a Garmin, and yes the GPS is a must - some of the more advanced ones can do all sorts of things, from using "breadcrumbs" to show your route back to the start, to more accurate measurement of distance and pace, these can be very useful for training because seeing your actual pace allows you to keep this where you want it. Typically this means that your watch gives you information on pace which makes you slow down at the start of a run and pushes you to achieve the same pace at the end of a run, this is great marathon training. You will find yourself looking at maps of where you've been, what your pace was, etc.
Garmin Forerunner 35 for sale just now at £130 - GPS, heart rate monitor, Bluetooth so works as smart watch with notifications from your phone, etc.
And re the good days / bad days, you kind of have to go through the bad days to appreciate the good days. Don't worry about it, it is perfectly normal. Some days it feels like wading through treacle, some days it just seems easy and effortless. And some days you struggle to get out of bed, you're not feeling it at all, you really cant be arsed, the first two miles are like something out of a zombie film and then somehow you end up having a great run. That's happened to me loads of times, so keep at it and don't get discouraged if you don't feel great all the time. My wife always says that she'll take up running the day she sees someone running who looks like they're enjoying it!
Training consecutive days is fine, you just need to be aware that haven't had much recovery time in-between and control your effort accordingly - don't push it too hard on both days, and treat one of them as an easier day.
London marathon is pretty unique - for all its faults, it's popular for a reason, and most people who've done it would love to do it again. You will be sore and it will be tough going, it's not meant to be easy. But the excitement on the day, the support of the other runners and the crowds, running past all the sights, becoming a marathon runner, and it will be a day you will never forget. Think about this when you're training - visualising that you're running over Tower Bridge with all the cameras and crowds and noise will take your mind off the fact that it's freezing and you're running along a cowshit-infested country lane with tired legs!
Only done Berlin and London - If I had to do one again it would be Berlin. Nice trip, less hassle, better course, generally better weather, less full on. And better beer!
Remember technology is just an added extra, to proper training. GPS, Heart rate monitors etc.. aren't going to help if you're dying on your arse at 21 miles. Obvious, but worth remembering sometimes
We have all been there with rough days...the thing is when you are aren't feeling it, is to go very slow and keep on doing it... you need massive determination and mental toughness.. but if know you aren't feeling it for a couple days back off and take a rest like you did... there are plenty more running days in the year... running can be so exhilarating when you reach certain goals... just look ahead for when you do your first 5k.. even if its with a bit of walking you will be so pleased with yourself.
well done on your 2.6 miles... that's 4.2k, so only twice more extra around a running track and you've done your 5k... it really doesn't matter if you have to stop and walk... just go with the flow and if you feel good one day just add that extra bit on and do a 5k.. its also good to hear that you are enjoying your running...

Where are the names of notable women on the facade of the Carnegie Museum?
Some suggestions for inclusion are written on Easter eggs and hidden in and
around the museum. How many can you find?
Good Luck
E. Bunny
We at Digging Pitt have received further explanation from E. Bunny, in the form of the following statement...
March 29, 2007
One of the first interesting things I came across when I returned to
Pittsburgh two years ago was the list of notable women posted on the skinny
building in commemoration of Women's History month - women who might be
candidates for inclusion in the all-male frieze of names carved into the
facade of the Carnegie Museum. A self-addressed stamped envelope is not what it
used to be and my request for a copy of the list that LUPEC compiled went astray. I thought it would
be fun to write the names on the bottom of those plastic ducks they use in
carnival games and dump them in the fountain in front of the museum. I bought a
dozen ducks from a novelty store on the strip and finally found someone who
would download the names for me. Wouldn't you know it, the fountain has been
shut off for a month now because of some sort of repairs or construction. So I
bought two bags of those plastic eggs, wrote names and dates from the list on
the outside and scissored apart the biographic material and folded it inside the
egg: Then I posted flyers at the bus stops announcing the Easter egg
hunt after I hid them in, on and around the museum.
Another idea I had for using the names (which any other like-minded
feminist is welcome and encouraged to copy) was to write them on smooth stones
and leave them at the base of the statues of the four white guys outside, the
way that Jews leave stones at a gravesite, on a headstone, to commemorate a visit to
a dead family member. Or attach the name, with paper and string, as one would
tie a message to a stone about to be hurled through a window.
I had some questions about the list itself - it was unnecessarily long and
I found myself clipping a group of three or four and making them share an
egg.There was someone named"Roger" with no biographical or explanatory material
provided. Artemsia Gentileschi's name is
misspelled. And why isn't Elizabeth Barrett Browning's name included? I
also wish that it had mentioned that one of my favorites, Hypatia, had been stoned to
death by a mob of Christians.
Your Friend
E. Bunny
Happy hunting everybody. And thank you, E. Bunny.

It is a rainy morning right now and when it pours here, it is pretty much a storm.
Strangely, all this rain is making me nostalgic. I'm dressed in a grey silk blouse with a cream skirt and keeping warm and cosy in a navy cardigan.
I just ended a morning lecture (I'm a lecturer/tutor) and I'm having my favourite breakfast with a cup of tea. I decided to write the newsletter now, instead of making the long trek to my office. I just posted a picture of my not-so-elegant school canteen, which you can see on my twitter.
Quite a few things that has recently happened on the personal front, and I've have had to make a few decisions. Decision-making is not my forte! I've struggled with it since I was a child and I struggle with it now.
Do you know what I struggle with? I struggle alot because I'm too nice. I'm not saying I'm a nice person, but I'm the sort that find it hard to say no to people in general, and harder to say no to people I love.
I don't want to disappoint them or make them sad or angry. In the end, it turns around and bites me in the end! I wonder what will become of me when I have children in the future…
Because of that, I find myself often stuck in compromised situations that in the end, doesn't satisfy anyone or make them truly happy. I think I have a lot of changing to do. I have to strengthen my resolve to make the right choices and stick to my guns.
People like me in a way are easily manipulated. Put me on a guilt trip, make me feel bad about myself and I become vulnerable…and it is easier to get what you want out of me. How many women are like me? I think there are many….I admire the strong women who are naturally assertive yet firm and elegant at the same time.
In some ways, I also admire women who couldn't care less about others …. they are direct and almost brutal. I'm not talking about those who are unnecessarily bossy or rude. But those women can say no, or refuse to compromise or is very straight forward despite the fact that they are affecting/hurting others or making others extremely unhappy. I'm talking about these situations where there is no other way. Of course, it would be nice if we could always find a win-win situation in life, but that's not always the case.
A Woman with Integrity
There is something very elegant about a woman who lives with integrity, and this sense of principle governs her life. She is a woman who is a cut above the rest. Many women can look and sound elegant, but a woman who is able to command a long lasting respect for all around her is one who is firm on living by principle.
Integrity is one of the strongest defining characteristic of true elegance. Elegance can be superficial. The woman that remains in your mind long after the outwards beauty and appearance wears off is one that is truly elegant from the inside out. After all, you don't want people to just remember you by your elegant pearls and clothes,but by you, as a person. Others get inspired by how you live your life, make decisions, handle tough situations.
This is sort of a personal observation of elegant women of what makes them a cut above the rest, and I feel that having integrity is a big part of it. Thus, here is my latest article: A Woman with Integrity
The Elegant Woman
For those of you who follow the elegantwoman blog (blog.elegantwoman.org), you would know that I once again pulled back the date of my launch of my book "The Elegant Woman". I'm happy to report that I'm very pleased with what my editor has done, though I'm going to hire him again to look at it again and we'll be working together in the next 2-3 weeks. I had a read of it and I wanted to add in more stuff because I want to make sure that for any woman who reads it will surely finally have a tool to get out of where she is right now, to a better place.
I almost feel like I'm doing what Henry Higgins did for Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, just without the meanness and curtness.
Finally I can control how elegantwoman.org should be read, instead of just embedding links to various pages. I want to make sure every person reads every page, every line in a certain flow.
In some sense, elegantwoman has always been my personal passion. It came about when I found myself feeling inferior among the 'elite' and the articles I wrote in elegantwoman were real things that I've done to cope with such situations. At the end of the day for me, it is simply a way I'd like to live.
I hope that through this book, everyone now can learn how to have confidence and break out of personal limitations and go on and do life in an elegant way.
Though even it is my 3rd book, and getting it done doesn't get any easier! Many online authors simply put together a 'book' made out of powerpoint materials into a pdf file, but for me, no…all my books and materials are done the old-fashioned way, typing out 80,000 words each time!
Story of my books
My first book, Secrets of Elegance, I wrote for those who wanted to start right from zero, and felt too overwhelmed with all the information on the website. I kept it fairly short and easy to read, with a lot of personal assignments so that it becomes something you could put into practice right away. It turned out to be a bestseller!
My second book, Becoming a woman of the finest class, I felt was my best work. It wasn't as popular as my first book, probably sold about 1/3 as many as Secrets of Elegance. I think it could be because from the book preview, you can tell it was kind of the "hard core" stuff, and I am very direct at the things you need to do in order to achieve the high standards of the most respected class of women. It was not easy, you had to put in hard work. It is definitely not a feel-good book! I wrote a little bit about the history, and the rest of it from studies, research, and personal observations. I mean, in all honesty, you really don't have to become the finest woman around, unless, perhaps if you were going to be married to the President or anyone influential…that you might want to read the book!
I designed the course Classy First Steps, as an easy introduction to the book. Ideally,I would recommend that course first, then the book. But if you are on a tight budget, then the book would be a priority.
You may find all the books and courses on this page
Lastly, back to the whole existence of Elegantwoman.org, I feel The Elegant Woman (latest book) would probably do justice to what I had been trying to do all along, first, really for myself, because I have not arrived, and other women who may think they need help too.
Thank you once again for all your support. I'm very grateful for everyone here. May you feel that you're on the winning side of life! If you're not, I pray you will get through it and emerge a stronger person. God bless you.
Thanks for reading!
Shalom (which in Hebrew means wishing you peace, wholeness, perfect health and well-being),
Go back to The Elegant Woman.

author Bill Buford, Gordon Ramsay isn't a bad guy, "but he does get angry, helplessly and uncontrollably angry — not an earthly anger but something darker — and has trouble knowing how to stop." [NYer] State legislator proposes an A through F system of grading restaurant hygiene, but the Department of Health is against it. [amNY] A Staten Island pizzeria beats out a field of 65 from six countries to win the 23rd International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. It's Denino's, right? Joe and Pat's? No. It's Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza. [NYDN]
De Marco's May Close Forever; Let Them Make Foie Gras!
The Department of Health rampage claims its most eminent victim yet: the venerable Brasserie LCB (formerly known as La Cote Basque). Apparently chef Jean-Jacques Rachou had a few things to say to the inspectors when they arrived. [NYP] According to the owner's father, DiFara legend Dom De Marco, De Marco's Pizza may close permanently in the wake of the recent shooting. [NYP] A more palatable way of making foie gras: Let the geese gorge themselves. [BBC via Chow]
DiFara Closed By DOH; Kosher Coke Is the Real Thing
The Department of Health closes beloved DiFara (temporarily!) because pizza maestro Dom DeMarco wasn't using gloves or wearing a hat. [Serious Eats] And the much more tragic story for the family continues to develop: The De Marco's shooter saw himself, as so many trigger-happy madmen do, as slow to anger. [NYT] So much food is being imported into America that the FDA can't possibly inspect it all. [USA Today]
De Marco's Maniac Caught On Tape; NYC Denied Shamrock Shakes
The NYPD releases a surveillance video of the De Marco's gun battle. It's difficult to make out, but very graphic and not a little disturbing. [WNBC] Brace yourselves: McDonald's has decreed that there will be no more Shamrock Shakes in NYC, although they're still widely available elsewhere. What's up with that? [NYDN] The Smith and Wollensky Restaurant Group is enjoying a sudden bidding war for its acquisition, after having already accepted a good offer. [Crain's]

Bloggers to NYC Slices: Drop Dead
The state of the New York slice is dire — or is it? Ed Levine, a semi-acknowledged local pizza authority, launched a full-scale investigation earlier this week. Our pies, Ed maintains, are "going to hell in a hand basket filled with … canned pizza sauce." Slice's Adam Kuban, another semi-acknowledged pizza authority, agrees. Even
had a bit of sport at our expense, inviting several big-shot Italian chefs to scoff at Rosario's cheeseburger pizza. And yet, five great slice joints have opened up here in the last couple of years, just counting the ones in Manhattan. Ed mentioned a few he likes. But here are our picks.

We tried to go and see The Game Changers at the cinema last weekend: we bought tickets, we bought popcorn, but at the last moment we got stopped because the documentary is rated 15+ and Daniel and Elizabeth are not 15. They gave us our money back but I was very disappointed and I felt like a bad parent, as though I was trying to smuggle my children into an x-rated porno. What could possibly be in a vegan documentary that's unsuitable for the pre-teen age group?
On Tuesday the documentary was released electronically to the world and we bought it on iTunes and watched it this weekend. It's brilliant and I recommend it to everyone including pre-teens. There's really nothing unsuitable about it other than some swear words and a short segment on the effect of a plant-based meal on a man's erection. I'm often astonished by the level of violence in children's computer games and even movies and yet dare to mention a natural phenomenon that half the human population experiences – erections – and it becomes adults only. There was not a visible penis in sight and the focus was on the beneficial effect of eating plants on arterial function and therefore blood flow to the major organs.
But most of the film was about elite athletes who are vegan and at the top of their game. There's a misconception that you need to eat meat to get protein and this myth is most ubiquitous among athletes and bodybuilders. The protein myth was scientifically disproved a couple of decades ago but persists like a lingering fart in an elevator. I have thrived on a plant-based diet but I'm not an athlete and so it was refreshing for me to see and learn about some amazing vegans who are.
There's the Australian sprinter, Morgan Mitchell:

There are many others in the documentary. You can see the full cast here.
There are also interviews with scientists and doctors and one quote that I particularly liked from Dean Ornish MD is,
"It's not one set of dietary guidelines for improving your performance as an athlete, another one for reversing heart disease, a different one for reversing diabetes, a different one for reversing prostate cancer, it's the same for all of them."
If anything the documentary will inspire you to improve your diet and get some exercise. We all enjoyed it, especially the kids.

I-20 Technology Corridor & You, By: Darrin Denney
What many of you may not know is that our area of the United States has a thriving technology corridor and it's only getting larger.
It's easy to drive past CenturyLink and IBM to notice that things are different, but did you know about the other technology firms that have been growing in our area. Some of the firms you may not know are The Cyber Innovation Center (CIC) and National Cyber Research Park in Shreveport.
The CIC's mission is to foster collaboration within its partners and develop a sustainable workforce for our area. These workers will have skills for cyber threats, manufacturing facilities, government and local schools and universities. The practical skills that students learn while attending CIC allows for graduates to hit the ground running once they are hired.
Louisiana Tech has now implemented a cyber engineering program aimed at producing thinkers who can problem solve and write code to prevent the latest attacks from getting into critical areas of our country and lives. Students who are involved with this program are immediately given hands on training within a team. The collaborative environment prepares them for what will be the reality of working within most companies today.
We also have in our area the Northeast Louisiana Economic Partnership (NLEP) that has fostered a Techby20 peer group to help enhance a climate of technology growth within the region. The group hopes to broaden the sphere of what people know about our region. We have a strong manufacturing base with the collaboration of IBM, CenturyLink and other firms. We have incentive packages drawing firms to our area and we have ease of transporting goods and services with the local waterways and interstate.
Another group that has been meeting regularly to help train the next generation of cyber security experts is NELESEC. They meet every month to discuss various topics about cyber security and how it impacts our lives, how we can prevent further intrusions and the latest information on what students should be studying. These talks although somewhat technical are very fun and informative.
Recently CenturyLink hosted a Cyber Security forum that had special guests that included: Former Deputy Director Under Secretary for Cybersecurity Dr. Phyllis Schneck and Global Chair of Data, Privacy & Cyber Security for White & Case Steven Chabinsky. Each of these speakers had great things to say about our country's abilities to thwart attacks. They did go on to discuss the need to grow our next generation of leaders within this industry.
NELA and the surrounding communities have the ability for a great future within the technology sector. Our students are being encouraged at a younger age through STEM programs; our young adults have more opportunities at the colleges and universities to learn as well. Where do you fit in? Understand that this is a great opportunity for our area to keep our kids here. Encourage kids and young adults that we do have opportunities for them. Reach out to any of the organizations mentioned in this article and they will help you.

With all the stormy weather we've been having, I decided to make a linen doorstop and use it to display the decorative potential of both my embroidered borders. But first, I needed to decide what to fill it with. I did my research and came up with either SAND or RICE. After making a hell of a mess, I can give you the pros and cons on both so you can make up your own mind in a tidier fashion:
If you are thinking of making several of these doorstops (for afterall, they'd make a great Christmas present!), SAND is definitely cheaper. Buy a bag of coarse grain sand from your local builders yard (but, it'll be heavy so don't go on your bike!). And it'll also be damp so you need space to spread it out and time to let it dry. Then you need to test out whether your chosen fabric is tightly woven enough that the sand won't leak through the grain of the fabric. And if it does, you will need to line your doorstop with a plastic bag.
So, on balance, if you are only thinking of making this for yourself, RICE is definitely more convenient. Buy a big bag of the cheapest supermarket rice - no basmati or arborio required here. My doorstop took 4 kilos to fill! I reckon it'd hold open a barn door in a storm. You could cut down the size quite a bit (maybe to a 15cm x 15cm cube) and still have a workable solution.
To get started, cut the following from your chosen fabric:
4 side pieces 20 cm (8") x 15 cm (6")
2 top and bottom pieces 15 cm (6") x 15 cm (6")
1 piece of wide border 20 cm long
1 piece of narrow border 15 cm long
Now for the step by steps:
1. Stitch the wide border down the centre of one of the side pieces.
2. With the sewing machine set to a small stitch length, sew the 4 side pieces together leaving a 1 cm seam allowance.
3. To make the narrow border into a handle, hold it across the middle of the top piece of fabric and stitch securely at each end, close to the edge of the fabric (within the 1 cm seam allowance).
4. Stitch the top piece to the sides.
5. When you stitch the bottom piece on, leave an opening along one side about 7 cm long. This is so you can turn the bag right side out, using the handle to help pull all the fabric through.
6. Now you need to fill the bag with your chosen filler.
NB. If you're using SAND and you've decided you do need a plastic lining, use a carrier bag. Stuff it inside your bag making sure that the opening stays on the outside (maybe pin it so it doesn't slip inside as you fill). When its full, you need to tie the opening into a tight knot and then stuff that inside the bag.
7. Finally, close the opening with a neat hand stitch.
8. And here's the finished article:

Looks great! Thank you for this - especially rice v sand discussion - exactly what I was wondering.ReplyDelete
STOP PRESS! You know that discussion about rice v sand? Well I have an urgent update which has definitely changed my mind and brought me down firmly on the side of sand. Have a look at my 4th July post.ReplyDelete
And thanks for your comment!

I love this easy design for a door stop. I've just made a roman blind for my bathroom and have lots of material left, which I shall now use to make a door stop.ReplyDelete
Regarding rice & sand, I made a house door stop a year ago and I used rice (which worked out quite expensive) so may consider the sand option this time.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Wesleyan University women's basketball team cruised in the second half en route to a decisive 71-39 non-conference win over Plattsburgh State on Thursday afternoon on the final day of The Exclusive Tournament.
The Cardinals outscored Plattsburgh State 48-24 in the final 20 minutes of play as they improved to 5-3 on the year. Olivia Gorman led all scorers with 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting, while Tara Berger recorded a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Plattsburgh State was led by Taylor Durnin's nine points as the Cardinals dropped to 3-8.
- The first quarter went back-and-forth often with the largest margin just three points.
- Trailing 9-6 with 3:42 to play, Wesleyan closed out the quarter with four unanswered points as a pair of free throws by Katy O'Connor gave the Cardinals a 10-9 advantage after one.
- Chynna Bailey continued the Wesleyan run early in the second quarter as she hit a free throw followed by a 3-pointer to give the Cardinals a five-point lead (14-9).
- A jumper by Kelly Degnan at the 4:53 mark evened the score at 14-14, but Charlotte Lowndes responded with a shot from behind-the-arc and Wesleyan never looked back.
- The Cardinals closed out the half on a 9-1 run as a layup by Olivia Gorman gave them a 23-15 halftime lead.
- It was all Wesleyan in the second half as the Cardinals scored the first 13 points of the third quarter.
- A layup by Berger at the 5:42 mark capped off a 22-1 run by Wesleyan going back to the first half as it pulled away, 36-15.
- Durnin ended the run at the 5:28 mark and both teams exchanged baskets over the next couple minutes until Wesleyan pulled away late once again and a layup by Bailey with six seconds on the clock gave the Cardinals a commanding 54-28 lead after three quarters.
- It was a similar story in the fourth as Wesleyan opened on an 8-0 run and a jumper by Olivia Gorman extended the lead to 34 with just 7:50 to play, putting the game out of reach.
- O'Connor joined Berger and Gorman in double-figures as she dropped 12 points. Emma Roush and Ava Tompkins each dished out four assists, and Caleigh Ryan scored nine points on 2-of-3 shooting from downtown.
- Kelly Degnan added seven points for Plattsburgh State, while Bella DePasquale and Kayla Doody each scored six. DePasquale also pulled in a team-high six rebounds and dished out two assists. Durnin added two assists as well.
- Wesleyan shot 48.1% (26-54) from the floor and outrebounded Plattsburgh State 48-31. As a team, Wesleyan dished out 21 assists.
- Wesleyan returns to action after the holidays and will host Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham on Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 5:30 p.m.

More than 2,000 take part in Invest in Yourself 5K
This weekend marked the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders' meeting, and Sunday included a 5K run.
[Video: More than 2,000 take part in Invest in Yourself 5K]
The rainy weather didn't make for perfect racing conditions, but that didn't stop 2,000 people from participating in the Invest in Yourself 5K.
The race took place throughout the downtown area and was just one part of a weekend-long event.
"I've heard it's just an incredible spectacle, and I wanted to be part of it," Mike O'Keefe, who came to Omaha from Seattle, said.
Many portfolio companies competed for the biggest teams. Oriental Trading Co. won with 173 runners.
"It's just like the whole shareholder meeting; it's a celebration of Berkshire Hathaway and everyone has a lot of fun every year at the 5K," Oriental Trading Company CEO Sam Taylor said.
A papier-mache Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger photo opportunity awaited runners at the finish line.
Organizers told KETV NewsWatch 7 that the proceeds from the event will benefit Girls Inc. and Special Olympics Nebraska.

Dog with giant tumor abandoned in NKY finds new forever home
The tumor is gone and his stitches are scheduled to come out Thursday
The tumor is gone and his stitches are scheduled to come out Thursday
The tumor is gone and his stitches are scheduled to come out Thursday
A 1-year-old dog with a massive tumor was left for dead.
Now he's on the mend in a new, loving home.
WLWT introduced you to the dog after he was abandoned by his owner at a shelter in Northern Kentucky.
On Monday, we heard from the family who found out about him through our coverage.
"He came right to us. We made over him. You could tell that he had an interest in us and we had an interest in him," Bob Bolmer said.
Bob and Colleen Bolmer, of Florence, are now proud parents to Ozzy, formerly known as Clyde.
His new name is inspired by the family's nickname for Colleen, which is Sharon.
Now, these Osbournes are together.
Bob said the name fits.
"He's crazy, yeah, so I'd say absolutely it does," Bob Bolmer said.
The Bolmers said they're already in love.
Colleen and her husband called HART Animal Rescue, where Ozzy ended up, right after they spotted him in our original report.
The pup had been abandoned by his owner at the Gallatin County Animal Shelter. When that happened, the owner instructed them to have Ozzy euthanized since he was carrying with him a 6-pound tumor.
The tumor, according to doctors, had been growing for about six months, which is basically half of Ozzy's life.
The tumor was then removed.
Colleen said they had two dogs who died four years ago and hadn't been ready to bring a new one home until they saw him.
"He's just very curious. I mean, smelling in every corner, wants to see what everything is. Every noise is different to him. He's always got those ears perked up, just listening," Colleen Bolmer said.
The Bolmers said they feel lucky.
Bob Bolmer said they were chosen out of at least a thousand applicants.
Now, they'll start training Ozzy so he'll stay off the counters.
"I think he's finally settling down and knowing that this is his forever home, so, and it will be," Colleen said.
There was a worry in the beginning that the tumor could eventually mean cancer.
Doctors said the biopsy gave the all-clear.
Ozzy's stitches are scheduled to come out Thursday.

Woo Hoo!! I got my First kit from the Hip Kit Club!!I have to admit I'm a little behind, I've had it for a week and haven't even posted about the beautiful kit.
So this month was my first month for the kit and I got the main kit, the paper add on and the cardstock add on. To be honest I'm not big on textured or colored cardstock, I mainly stick to non-textured white, black and kraft cardstock. So I figured, everything is so beautiful why not try something semi new to me again. And I'm so glad I did!!
So here is my first layout with the kit. I love the bright, springy colors threw the kit. I'm enjoying the cork too! Ive played with it a bit in the past but I'm hoping to play with more, I've already went out and bought more cork, lol
I've also had a sewing machine for years, made a few lap quilts but that's about it. I've watched so many youtube videos with everyone sewing on there pages so I dug mine out and tried it myself...Looks like almost all my pages will have sewing on them for a while, until I get tiered of it, or it breaks down again.lol

I know that many guys are digging the new gear from Roe and Pocket Pistols but I'd like to postulate on the virtues of Turner.
When I first stepped on one [Thanks GBJ], it was a weird sensation. The deck seemed to feel a bit small. And this is coming from a guy who first slalomed on a G&S classic! Nonetheless it felt weird to me. I felt like I may fall off of it anytime during my ride. This made me wonder what all those guys were yappin about. It didn't seem like a winner to my feet at all. I really didn't get a chance to adapt to it at all. And frankly I don't think I would have bought one had it not been for TK and a deal that we made privately. He offered me an earl'y 90's black & green cut-away. I had lusted after Turners as a possesion but never thought I'd get the hang of one at all. I got the board and stared at it a while. I didn't know how to set it up so it took some time before I even tackled the job. I had a set of small pivot Fultracks that I got off eBay and strapped em on. Thanks goodenss for friends on ncdsa. I didn't know how wedging worked but got replies on the subject and was able to get it right the first time.
This was before ABEC 11 Stingers or La Costas so I set it up with OJ Superjuice at first. It was a great ride buy not as fast as I'd hoped. The OJ's were the culprits of course. Then ABEC 11 and Turner came out with their wheels and the rest is history. I bought a Blackbird off Adam {our wionderful host], and I was hooked on Turner for life.
I'm interested in your first Turner experiences guys. I like hearing how others get enlightened I guess.
Bring it on.
Turner is still the best

A waterfall was a stream of water flowing over the edge of a cliff.
At least one waterfall was present in the Genesis cave. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
Waterfalls also existed in the underground caverns on Ocampa, as well as in Dahkur Province on Bajor. (VOY: "Caretaker", DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil")
They often served as popular tourist destinations for their natural beauty. Janaran Falls on Betazed was a waterfall that held notable sentimental value. (TNG: "Second Chances")
The gardens of the Bajoran monastery on Bajor featured small waterfalls. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
One of Gideon Seyetik's favorite creations he had terraformed was Da Vinci Falls on Blue Horizon, a waterfall the size of Mount Everest. (DS9: "Second Sight")
Rhymus Major also had waterfalls. Natima Lang recalled the sound of them in a holosuite program she and Quark had used in 2370. (DS9: "Profit and Loss")
At least one waterfall emptied in a lake on the Ba'ku planet. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
The grounds of Starfleet Headquarters featured a small waterfall. A recreation of this place was visited by the crew of the USS Voyager in 2375 aboard Terrasphere 8. (VOY: "In the Flesh")
While stranded on the surface of Ledos in 2378, Seven of Nine was shown a waterfall by a Ventu girl. (VOY: "Natural Law")

Riverview District holds its 15th annual breast cancer awareness walk
Rain or shine, Riverview District's Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers have a standing date on the first Wednesday of May. That's the day we join with our friends from Breast Cancer Action Montreal (BCAM) for our annual walk to raise awareness for breast cancer prevention.
This year, much to our delight, our 15th annual walk took place on a warm and sunny evening. Led by a police escort, a Pathfinder bike patrol and girls from all units with banners and balloons, we made our way through several streets of the South Shore community of Greenfield Park in a colorful, hour-long walk. As always, we were joined by our local borough councillors, a representative of our local MNA, and many parents, friends and other community group members.
Our annual march is a visible example of how our girls are active in supporting their community. As BCAM Executive Director Rosanne Cohen commented: "It is so motivating for us to feel the warmth, caring and support of so many people and to see a fantastic group of committed young women and girls to breast cancer prevention. Without a hesitation I can tell you that the Girl Guides' walk is hands down our favorite BCAM event and I mean that sincerely."

For a change, we don't get an overly early start. The weather broadcasts indicate there may be some more unsettled weather and since we could probably use a little re-provisioning, I decided we would splurge for a marina this upcoming evening. We pull up the anchor and head out just before 8am.
I still don't have 100% confidence in the various gauges on the boat and even though the fuel gauge claims we are mostly full, we stop at the Pungo Creek marina for fuel. The Skipper Bob's Marinas book claims they have better than average prices for the area, but I this was the most expensive diesel we purchased on the trip. Fortunately, the fuel gauge seems reasonably accurate and we only needed about 15 gallons (the boat holds 75). The Marina book also claimed they had a store, but they do not. The marina is pretty run down and with the fuel prices, I don't think I'll return there unless it is an emergency.
After departing the marina we make our way down the Pungo river and into the Pamlico. The winds were a little under 10 knots from behind us as we made the turn so I decided it was time to break out the spinnaker and we make like a sailboat for a short time. The spinnaker doesn't last too long as we again quickly enter a narrow section of the river...and, of course, the wind is blocked by the trees.
We make it to Whittaker Pointe marina, just outside Oriental, well before dark.We get tied up and sign up for the courtesy car and make a run into town. We come back, have dinner, check the weather, and call it a night.
The weather the next day is proving to be difficult. The original plan was to head down to Beaufort/Moorhead City and out the inlet to open ocean. But, the winds were predicted to be rather high and the seas even higher, so we decided we would find an anchorage near Beaufort to wait out the weather.
Entering and leaving Whittaker point there is a rather narrow channel with some shoaling. They say there are boaters who have run aground and those that will. With the winds as we were coming out, I did end up pushing into the mud as we tried to leave. Fortunately I was going slowly and was able to simply back out and work my way around the pile of mud that narrowed the channel.
We set sail with winds again on our nose. Just as we make it out of the Neuse river and into Adams creek a thunderstorm alert comes across the radio for the Neuse river. We are relatively protected in Adams creek and we watch the thunderstorm roll by behind us. We hear tornado watches for adjacent areas and the weather is a bit unsettled for the whole trip to Moorhead City.
I had originally thought we would use an anchorage behind Shackleford island. Getting to this anchorage requires going part of the way out of the inlet and then turning behind the barrier island. As we made our approach to the inlet, I realized that was not a good option. The rough seas were pushing their way into the inlet and we would have had a very rough ride over to a relatively shallow cut into the anchorage.
Fortunately, boats travel slower than airplanes and we had plenty of time to figure out another plan. I knew of an anchorage just behind Fort Macon and we decided it was a decent location with protection from the easterly winds with a long fetch to the lee shore so we found a location and dropped the hook. Just as all our previous anchoring, the Mantus set immediately and stayed put in the 30 knot winds. This is where we would stay the night in hopes that the forecasts were correct and the weather would improve tomorrow.
On an unrelated note. I think I understand why everyone has a romantic idea of of cruising. When everything is nice, we have time to take pictures...and they are usually nice with beaches and sunsets and dolphins playing and all of that. When it isn't nice weather, we are usually too busy with the boat to take pictures...like this part of the trip.

Unlike the Mona Lisa, or 'Good Day Sunshine', companies are essentially just a collection of documents that pertain to each other and people following the instruction of those documents. A system in constant flux, much like human identities. Anything of this nature is surely going to change soon after its creator dies, but the work of an artist remains what it is long after the artist is gone.
Why is it we remember the work of plato better than the work of ancient greece's richest trader? Easy, culture produces artifacts. Plato's 'Meno' persists because it is today what it was when he wrote it. The wealth of a certain person or organization does not persist, and it is constantly changing. Sure there can be artifacts that point to success in business, but they are not the business itself. Look at how the Sears tower was just recently renamed. 1000 years from now the building will be gone and no one will even know what Sears was.
Its more than just the artifacts though. Culture produces more persisting ideas. Ok, you're thinking Adam Smith or Henry Ford and the like- business having persisting ideas of its own. The problem is that business's ideas remain for the most part within business. Seeing that corporate strategies are causing humanity some serious problems, it is entirely possible that we will one day abandon 'business' along with its theories: 'free market' and 'mass production'. If 1000 years from now we operate the world completely differently, there would be no more reason to remember Henry Ford than there was to remember the person who first dreamt up building plazas.
If you want to leave something behind, it seems as though your cultural creations may have a better chance of surviving than your business exploits. So should we all put down our portfolios and pick up our paintbrushes? Well, most of us are pretty honest about the fact that even if we did sit at home all day and work on our novels, chances are, we'll still be forgotten 1000 years from now. Whereas if we leave our heirs a thriving business, we can be assured that our biological creations will have a good chance at survival. My plan? I sell bronzed clones of myself over the internet. That way i'm leaving behind biology, business and cultural artifacts. . . . . . . . ..I'm a bit worried bronzing children may be unethical.

Headlines are the primary objective for most young companies when starting to engage in media relations. It's logical and important to pursue the brass ring of market attention, but it's also not enough. At our communications firm, we occasionally see a young company make fast news only to become a one-hit wonder. Without having done the necessary legwork, their media relations program isn't sustainable and doesn't live up.
A successful media relations program takes time and validation of the business (not just of founders or other on-staff celebrities) and its market offering. It also requires a thorough understanding of the media outlets and reporters that influence your target audiences.
Reporters are increasingly skeptical of newcomers, given the number of firms that fall short or flat-out fail -- think Theranos, the disgraced biotech startup that shot from zero to a billion-dollar market darling to complete bust when its supposedly revolutionary blood-testing technology was exposed as a fraud.
Even if your business has a truly high-value technology, the sheer volume of new companies making big claims keeps reporters circumspect. A strategic, durable program will help you tie into ongoing industry narratives, gaining respect and authority as you bring audiences along on your journey.
Successful media relations programs rely on four components:
1. Education
Discuss market challenges that are most interesting to today's media and analysts. Carefully and credibly explain key issues facing your primary audiences -- customers, prospects, partners, investors or other key stakeholders -- that your company and solution are uniquely positioned to solve.
Eighty percent of the education process should include aggressively targeting media, buyers and other influential audiences with objective support for your differentiators -- research data, expert opinions, illustrative anecdotes or other proof points. The remaining 20% should present your company's own thought leadership about the innovation you bring to bear. But be careful to avoid a heavy sales pitch.
2. Validation
Substantiation should be 100% objective when initially building your media reputation, backed by facts and stats. But even after your reputation is established, objective substantiation must remain embedded in every step of your media relations journey to sustain credibility.
Substantiation activities need to incorporate the same kinds of independent and objective supporting evidence as you presented during education. There will always be new challengers looking to undermine your claims and position, so fresh proof points that reconfirm your value, such as new research data, new customer successes or other independent validation, must be continually shared with the media and the market at large to defend your position.
3. Engagement
Identify weaknesses in traditional approaches, conventional wisdom or with larger competitors who are already getting attention. Then, target the press who are talking about those concepts or firms. Infiltrate the narrative to show new data, insightful anecdotes or counter-intelligence using one of two tactics:
• Court Consensus: Join the discussion through friendly and complimentary commentary. Offer supporting points or greater insights into the status quo.
• Court Controversy: Counter prevailing dialogue with a well-thought, carefully crafted response. Note that with this higher-risk approach, it's extremely important to have done your research or you'll quickly be shot down.
Whichever method you choose, the goal is to get yourself associated with the topic. When infiltrating, it's fine for your messages and activities to balance at around 50% objective and 50% subjective.
4. Expansion
This is where all of the objective insights you used to educate and substantiate become extremely valuable. Start with market evangelists, then advance your media activity and messages to tie into bigger narratives. What's the greater news cycle? What's trending in the industry beyond a singular issue? Where can you best position your expertise and insight?
Devise a strategy to move beyond early adopters and engage the mainstream market. Create events, activities and initiatives that bring your story to new audiences, who will always require something new or different. Expansion activities can be 90% subjective -- with your established credibility, you can confidently tell your story.
Once you reach that next level, you need to reeducate, resubstantiate and reinfiltrate. It's a cyclical process that continues throughout your business lifespan and requires patience and persistence.
To build a media relations strategy that is successful for the long term:
• Implement a program that creates brand recognition and differentiation for your solution.
• Leverage your insights and data to create media programs and social communications activities that spotlight components of the greater company story.
• Build thought leadership campaigns that reinforce your company's vision, value proposition and credibility.
• Create campaigns that raise awareness for strategic components of the company story and its value to customers.
• Generate significant coverage for your company and its offerings in priority business, trade and vertical industry publications to drive awareness and lead generation.
Like exercising without eating right, short-cutting your media relations program won't get you to a sustainable goal. Done correctly, with the long game in mind, you will look back at your media relations track record over six months, one year or even five years and see a predictable growth pattern. That longevity and consistency will make you a credible, go-to resource when big moments of opportunity occur.

I got this knife on sale with free shipping. It will come in handy in a bad situation. But , hey, I learned to be prepared very early, as a boy scout. Our motto was be prepared ! Only neg. thing is the pocket clip is on the wrong end . Seems that they do this on purpose so it can't be deployed very fast. I have removed the clip and drilled & tapped new holes on the other end of many of these knives. Now it is one movement and its open and ready. FYI.
Nice everyday carry, obviously for the price I wasn't expecting superb quality but has good action on assisted opening, and some nice bells and whistles like the mini flashlight, glass breaker, and belt cutter. Not entirely sure if those would actually hold up to the test, but still worth it to pick one of these up if you are looking for a cheap knife with these features. Only complaint I have, albeit a very minor one, was the EMS logo was already unglued from the handle when it arrived, not a big deal as a little super glue will fix that.
This knife is really cool. Also for the price it's awesome. I like the assisted opening action on it, and it came super freaking sharp. The flash light isn't that bad either. It's not going to light up the woods, but for searching a desk in a dark room it's ok. The shape and grip is a little clunky though. If my hands are sweaty I can't get a good grip on the handle. I feel like this knife would bite with me if I messed around with it too much. For that reason I'm careful with it, and it's not my favorite. But I'm happy with the purchase, it looks cool and springs open well and has a cool little flashlight! Also has little window smasher thing at bottom and fishing line hook blade. All in all, you should get this knife, but also probably also have a better one
