CONSTANTINE Falkland Cary Smythe, the most successful hockey executive in the world, has been called "a dead-end kid dressed up like Little Lord Fauntleroy" and it is a fact that almost everything about him is a paradox. Although he was a poor hockey player and has not laced on a skate since he failed to make the University of Toronto senior team more than thirty years ago, he has consistently produced one of the most colorful and, over the years, the best professional team in hockey. At the height of the depression, in 1931, he built Maple Leaf Gardens, the finest indoor arena on the continent. He has made hockey so respectable that it is right up there with ballet in the social scale in his native Toronto, yet some people blame him for turning the game into a ruffianly burlesque of what it used to be and others regard him as an ogre and a dictator. He condones players who draw penalties and preaches fire and brimstone to his Toronto Maple Leafs before a game ("If you can't beat them out in the alley," he'll say, "you can't beat them in here on the ice"), yet he neither smokes nor drinks and has little patience with those who do. He twice introduced his team's retired captain to a national radio audience as "Syl Apps, our captain, who does not smoke or drink." He fought like a catamount to get into the last war and then spent a fair proportion of his time fighting the army he had sought to join; just before his discharge he helped precipitate a national political crisis by risking a court martial to denounce the army's recruiting methods.
Smythe, a millionaire, believes there is no substitute for hard work, although one of his friends described him recently as "a practical mystic." "He believes in playing hunches and he believes in luck," his friend remarked. "For instance, Conn honestly feels that the backing of everyone in Toronto will help make the Maple Leafs win. Mix his superstitions with his practical ability and you've got Connie." "He's a belligerent Irishman," an Irish friend of Smythe's said fondly not long ago. "He never goes halfway in anything. He's either glad or sad or mad but he's never neutral and he's never moody. If he's got something on his mind he spills it and I guess that makes a lot of people whose hair he musses dislike him." An army acquaintance, Major Zooch (Pete) Palmer, of Hamilton, Ont., who succeeded Smythe as officer commanding the 30th Light Anti-Aircraft Battery near Caen after a shell fragment struck Smythe's spine, commented with admiration recently that he'd never seen a group of army men quite so well trained as Smythe's battery. "There was a feeling that's hard to describe," he said. "Officers called the men by their first names and as an old RMC man I'd never heard of such a thing. Yet on my second day with the battery I found myself doing the same thing and it was completely natural. Another thing; there was the most remarkable discipline I'd ever encountered. One night a fellow broke out of barracks, stole a jeep and went high-tailing off to a nearby town. When he got back several hours and several drinks later, the boys in his hut gave him an awful going over. He'd have been a hero in most other outfits but in this one he had the men sore."
There are many who contend that Smythe could have been a success at anything and, for a fact, he hasn't missed much. On a shoestring he bought a small share of a sand-and-gravel business thirty years ago from Angelo Angotti whom he later bought out. Today, sixty trucks with C. Smythe for Sand emblazoned across their sides in white churn in and out of a property worth about three hundred thousand dollars. He is the largest single shareholder in Maple Leaf Gardens (no individual owns controlling interest) now valued at better than four million dollars. He started a housing development near his gravel pit five years ago and built five-room bungalows for veterans of his battery who couldn't find accommodation for their families in Toronto's postwar real-estate boom and he kept right on developing the project until last summer when he sold out. He produced bungalows for eight thousand five hundred dollars in days when few owners had trouble getting twelve thousand five hundred for the same thing. He has owned a stable of race horses and, as treasurer of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children in Toronto, has been described by one of the board members as "the difference between success and failure of the whole venture.''
Steely Grey When Angry
Smythe, who will be fifty-seven next Feb. 1, has the body of a man thirty years his junior. He is well-muscled and flat-stomached, although his activity has been slowed by the effects of the war wound. His right leg is considerably slimmer than the left because the splinter severed a nerve in his spine and he walks slowly and with a slight limp. He is able to play golf, however, and to swim twice a day during his annual six-week winter vacation in Florida through January and part of February, and at his summer home at Orchard Beach, Lake Simcoe. The only outward evidence of the wound and two subsequent operations for removal of the splinter is a small scar at the base of the spine. The wound injured his large intestine, which causes him frequent pain and discomfort.
Smythe is stocky, five-foot-seven, has a sandy complexion and pale penetrating blue eyes which his secretary, Madeleine McDonald, swears turn steely grey when he is annoyed or angered. He has a deep forceful voice, is an avid reader of historical and adventure novels, the New Yorker magazine and such factual books as Winston Churchill's war memoirs. He's a whodunit movie fan and, with Mrs. Smythe, an enthusiastic playgoer on Broadway and in Toronto. The Smythes live in a spacious nine-room house in Toronto's west end which they built in 1929 and recently remodeled. Their housekeeper, Jessie Watson, has been devoted to her employer for twenty two years, knows he prefers plain good food ("especially roast beef") and that he finds it hard to believe that some people enjoy caviar or other exotic tidbits. Smythe drinks neither tea, coffee, nor milk; in fact, he sips stronger liquid only after the Leafs have won a championship and fill the Stanley Cup with champagne. Mostly he drinks ginger ale.
Smythe's office, which also serves as the Gardens board room, is big, well-lighted and, like his home, hung with several outdoor oil paintings by the Canadian artist Manly MacDonald. There are two blown-up photographs near his mahogany desk, one of Syl Apps holding the Stanley Cup and the other of Ted Kennedy, the current team captain, with the same trophy. On the wall behind his swivel chair are group pictures of the seven Maple Leaf teams that have won the Cup since the Gardens was built. A long narrow mahogany table, with nine chairs around it, occupies most of the space at the far end of the office. It is, of course, for board meetings. Smythe has a son, Stafford, with him in the sand business and although Stafford is not particularly devoted to hockey he helps his father greatly in administering the Leafs' amateur system. Another son, Hugh, is a doctor now in his second year of interning at the Toronto General Hospital. There were two daughters but one of them, ten-year-old Patricia, died suddenly about six years ago. The other girl, Miriam, is married to Jack Hoult, employed in the Gardens box office.
In Boston, Half a Night In Jail
Smythe has been hockey's most publicized figure for almost a quarter of a century—partly because he discovered early in his career that feuds with rival teams made good newspaper copy, both at home and on the road. Though many of these have started with tongue in cheek, some turned out to be completely genuine. For instance, through one twelve-year period he and Art Ross of the Boston Bruins did not speak to one another and for the last two years he and Jack Adams of the Detroit Red Wings have not exchanged words. Smythe has said that he detested Ross because the Boston boss seemed to have devoted his life to making a fool of Smythe. "He stationed two longshoremen near our bench in the Boston Garden and their instructions were to goad me into a fight," Smythe said recently. "He wanted to have me put in jail." One night as he was making his way toward the Toronto dressing room after a game the longshoremen began pushing him and insulting him. Smythe shouted back at them and then he saw Ross nearby, obviously angry. "He started after me but little Frank Selke, then my assistant, saw him coming and dove at him with a flying tackle that knocked him down," Smythe has related. "We got out of there fast but not before I yelled at one of the longshoremen, 'When your boss gets up tell him I can't waste my time with anybody that a man as small as Selke can lick.' " Smythe now watches home games with relative calm from the green seats, high up in the Gardens.
But one time Ross did succeed in getting Smythe behind bars. It was in Boston on a December night in 1933 that Irvin (Ace) Bailey, Toronto right-winger, was tripped by Boston's boisterous defenseman, the great Eddie Shore. Bailey almost became the first fatality in the league's history. When his feet were pushed from under him from behind he went into the air and fell to the ice. His skull was split at both temples. While he lay unconscious on the ice his teammate, Red Horner, sought out Shore, hit him with a roundhouse right on the chin and when Shore fell his head also hit the ice and he, too, was knocked unconscious. The Boston arena began to rock with a roaring cacophony. Smythe, leading the way while Toronto players carried Bailey to their dressing room, heard a fan shriek, "Fake, fake! The bum's actin'." Smythe wheeled and swung. He struck a bespectacled spectator who he believed had shouted. Blood spurted from the fan's face and rink policemen took charge of Smythe and escorted him to jail. The fan charged assault and battery but according to Smythe, Art Ross, who originally had instructed the fan to lay the charge, demanded he withdraw it when the seriousness of Bailey's injury became apparent. Smythe was released at 2 a.m. Meanwhile, Bailey lay unconscious in a hospital and it wasn't until fifteen days and two delicate brain operations later that he regained consciousness. He was in Boston for six weeks, during which Smythe never left the city. He arranged to send Bailey's wife and daughter to a Boston hotel and when the player recovered sufficiently to return to Toronto Smythe arranged a benefit game between an All-Star NHL team and the Leafs. He raised over twenty thousand dollars for Bailey who is completely recovered today although he never played hockey again.
Smythe packed the Boston rink another time when the Bruins were going particularly badly. He inserted a signed four-column advertisement in a Boston newspaper addressed to the fans: "If you're tired of what you've been looking at, come out tonight and see a decent team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, play hockey." The livid Art Ross, who now refers to Smythe as "the big wind from Lake Ontario," wanted the league to fine Smythe a thousand dollars for his impertinence and the late Major Frederic McLaughlin, then owner of the Chicago Black Hawks, issued a statement denouncing such undignified antics. So the next time Toronto visited Boston, Smythe decked himself in top hat, white tie and tails and strode majestically around the corridors, tipping his hat and bowing every few steps. Smythe and Ross have since made up. The Toronto fireball explained to a friend not long ago: "His two sons both served overseas with excellent records. I figured anybody who could rear two boys like that must be all right."
Currently, Smythe and the Detroit general manager, Jack Adams, have not spoken for two years, Smythe claiming Adams has become "a front for Norris." This would be James Norris, Sr., owner of the Red Wings, the Detroit Olympia, the Chicago Stadium, rinks in Omaha, Indianapolis and St. Louis and the largest shareholder in New York's Madison Square Garden. He also owns the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, forty freighters on the Great Lakes and the Norris Cattle Co., which includes three of the largest cattle ranches in the United States. Smythe, who has a tremendous admiration for Norris' son, Jim, Jr., says the senior Norris is "spoiled," "has to have his own way" and "can't take one line of criticism." They frequently are involved in arguments at NHL meetings. Smythe surprisingly terms young Jim Norris who, as president of the International Boxing Club, is the fight game's czar in the U. S., "the best judge of hockey talent I know. If I were making a deal and wanted to be sure of my judgment on a player involved, young Norris would tell me and he'd be within one percent of making a perfect appraisal."
Smythe was born a hundred yards from the present site of Maple Leaf Gardens and a lot of things have happened to him, he has said, because he is Irish: "I was sired by an Irishman and dammed by an Englishwoman. I've got my father's fight and my mother's common sense." He was pale and puny, the only son of Albert Ernest Stafford Smythe, a newspaperman who, though poor, managed to send the boy to boarding schools after his mother died when he was seven. One of the first things he did was to shorten his imposing collection of Christian names to just plain Conn. His father wanted him to become a lawyer and because he was a student himself he surrounded the boy with volumes of Dickens and Tennyson. But the confinement drove him outdoors and the fact that he did not have the proper changes of clothes in school and was compelled to pay his tuition in driblets of quarters and half dollars often made him furious. He discovered an outlet, an evening-up place, in sports, in which he excelled. When he threw his weight around violently enough he discovered he got what he wanted and at the University of Toronto he was a belligerent hundred-and-eighteen-pound centre for the Varsity junior hockey team.
He was a nineteen-year-old undergraduate when war was declared in 1914 and early the following year he went overseas as an artilleryman. Commissioned in the field, he won the Military Cross in 1916 and then transferred to the Royal Flying Corps where, as a reconnaissance pilot, he was mentioned in dispatches. He was still an argumentative little battler and he argued constantly with his observer, a big tough Irish Catholic, over religion. The day their plane got hit behind enemy lines Smythe, a Protestant, looked at the earth spinning up to meet them and then shouted to his observer: "In about a minute we're going to find which one of us is right." They didn't. Both walked away from the crash. Smythe was captured and when he began to argue with a German soldier he was shot at from point-blank range. The bullet ripped through his flying jacket without touching him. He spent fourteen months in prison camp, alternately endeavoring to escape (he made it twice and was recaptured both times) and playing bridge. "We played so much bridge," he recalled recently, "that I've never played the game since." After the armistice he got back to England late in December but there were no officers to arrange leave and transportation for his group when it reached London. "I had a date in Manchester," Smythe says, "and there was a guy from the prairies with us who said he could drive a locomotive engine. So we swiped one in the yards. We reached Manchester at two-thirty in the morning and sat down to Christmas dinner."
Back in Canada he felt like an old man, an old man of twenty-four who had lost four years out of his life. He wanted to make money, to be independent, so he went back to university and finished his civil-engineering course. On graduation he got a job in Toronto's public works department but it didn't last long. "I was the worst engineer who ever graduated," he reflected many years later, "and when the City of Toronto found its sewers running uphill they agreed with me." Misdirection wasn't alone responsible for his decision to forsake engineering. On every project he undertook he found great difficulty in obtaining sand and gravel. That's when he bought into Angelo Angotti's small firm. And while that business was struggling along Smythe took to hanging around the city's hockey rinks, acting as timekeeper and goal judge for hockey games.
In 1927, the last year he coached the University of Toronto team, they won the Allan Cup. The following year, as the Varsity Grads, they represented Canada at the 1928 Olympic Games in St. Moritz and won the world's championship. The team's earlier showing in intercollegiate games with Boston College, Harvard and Princeton in the old Boston Garden, and Smythe's handling of the players, had impressed the Garden president, Charles W. Adams. When in 1926 the NHL began to expand and New York, Chicago and Detroit were admitted into the league, Adams recommended Smythe to Col. John Hammond, president of the New York Rangers, as the man to assemble and coach the Rangers. Smythe agreed verbally to a salary of ten thousand dollars but before the team played a game Hammond decided to replace Smythe with an older, more experienced hockey man, Lester Patrick. He ordered Smythe seven thousand five hundred in settlement which Smythe accepted while protesting hotly, insisting he had earned the full ten thousand. He stomped out of Hammond's office to watch the Rangers engage in their first league encounter in Madison Square Garden. They were playing the Montreal Maroons, then world's champions, and before the game Smythe ran into Hammond's boss, the late Tex Rickard, famous fight promoter and then Garden president.
"Well", asked Rickard, "do you think we'll hold 'em down to ten goals?"
"Hold 'em down?" snorted Smythe, "you'll beat them."
The Rangers did, too, scoring a 1-0 victory and Rickard was elated, praised Smythe's acumen and declared he ought to be a vice-president in charge of hockey at the Garden.
"I wouldn't work around here," growled Smythe. "You don't treat your employees right."
Then he told Rickard that Col. Hammond owed him two thousand five hundred dollars. Rickard escorted him to Hammond's office, listened to the details of the agreement and then told Hammond to write a cheque for twenty - five hundred dollars. He wagered it, while in Montreal en route home, on the University of Toronto to beat McGill -and he won. He then wagered these winnings on the underdog Toronto St. Pats to triumph over the Ottawa Senators, and won again.
A year later, with two Toronto brokers, the late Peter Campbell and E. W. Bickle, he bought the St. Pats, who were an NHL team, for one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. He got two good hockey players out of the lot, Hap Day and Ace Bailey, a trainer named Tim Daly and a National Hockey league franchise in a small rink called Mutual Arena. Smythe changed the team's name to the Maple Leafs, striving for a national appeal, and he added new players in a building program that gradually attracted fan interest. It was tough sledding though, and Smythe soon realized that to buy and pay the kind of players he needed to produce a winner there would have to be an arena of greater seating capacity. In their first year in Mutual Arena, for example, the team drew a total $123,000 and had one gate of only $1,400. So at the height of the depression in 1930 Smythe set to work to build a million-dollar rink. He wheedled capital from bankers and businessmen. The architect went on the cuff; contractors took part payment in stock; even the carpenters, masons and electricians got part of their wages in stock. One of Smythe's greatest strikes was in eliciting the interest and support of the late J. P. Bickell, a mining man and one of the country's richest. Bickell, sold on Smythe's drive, enthusiasm and determination to succeed, used to phone his friends, tell them who was speaking and casually inform them they had just bought ten thousand dollars' worth of stock in a place called Maple Leaf Gardens. It was built within a year and at the beginning it was no gold mine. Even in the 1933-34 season the total receipts were only $253,000 (by contrast, the Gardens does better than $800,000 on its present thirty-five-game schedule and, when the Leafs gain the Stanley Cup finals, receipts are just about $1,000,000). Smythe refused to scrimp, however, and his tireless efforts to give the fans a winner finally won them over in large numbers. Crowds of 13,000 for professional hockey are average nowadays and there have been more than 18,000 people in the building for political rallies.
Smythe returned to the army as Canadian units were being mobilized after Hitler's invasion of Western Europe although, since he had come out of the first war a lieutenant, he had difficulty getting a rank higher than that. He instructed COTC artillerymen, finally conceived the idea of organizing a battery of athletes, sports writers and anyone else who wished to recruit with such a collection. For a while army orders, called the "blues," referred to him as "to be acting major, temporary captain, Lieut. Smythe" and then when his so-called Sportsman's Battery, the 30th Anti-aircraft, was formed he was confirmed as a major. At the beginning the 30th's officers' mess was the ladies' powder room in one of the Toronto Exhibition buildings. Then training was undertaken at Petawawa Military Camp and on Vancouver Island and in October 1942 the unit went to England. The 30th didn't go to France on D-Day but word was received from the High Command late in June 1944 that the outfit would be moving out of England any day.
That evening, during a unit softball game in the south of England, Smythe, then forty-nine, was playing third base. With two out and a runner on second, Smythe moved back of third to catch a pop fly. Just as he reached for the ball, the runner from second crashed into him and Smythe fell to the ground. His side pained agonizingly and he realized some ribs were broken. Gritting his teeth against stabs of pain that twice rendered him unconscious the major uttered only one sentence: "Any guy who peeps about this can expect a court-martial." Some of the men carried Smythe to a civilian doctor who refused to touch a military man until he was informed that all medical officers were away. He patched Smythe's side (there were four broken ribs) and four days later, his side tightly strapped and he himself strapped to a chair, Smythe went to France. A derrick lifted him from the ship into a small landing craft and when he got into shallow water he unstrapped himself and led his men ashore.
Scarcely a month later a German reconnaissance plane flew over the battery headquarters near Caen, dropping flares. One became embedded in a tarpaulin covering an ammunition truck. Smythe, realizing the stuff might go up at any moment -- there were between fifty and sixty thousand rounds of small-arms ammunition, grenades, antitank mines piled under the tarp—directed removal of the flare and the men grabbed shovels to throw sand on fires in the area. But before anyone could reach the ammunition truck there was a tremendous explosion. A piece of flying steel hit Smythe in the back and knocked him to the ground and out of the war.
The hospital ship which carried Smythe to Canada brought a stormy bedridden major. Risking court-martial, he charged outspokenly that replacements in France were inadequate, that untrained men were being sent into action because the Canadian government was refusing to send conscripted men overseas. This was a point many a Canadian newspaper had made but Smythe was the first man in uniform to speak up as loudly as he did and it had its effect. Papers which had opposed the government policy used Smythe's words to rekindle their case and there were tremendous repercussions in the ensuing political controversy which culminated in the resignation of Defense Minister J. L. Ralston and the subsequent defeat in a by-election at Owen Sound of Lieut. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, who had returned to Canada after being commander - in - chief of the Canadian Army and who sought election so that the cabinet could retain him as defense minister.
Smythe felt he had a personal problem at Maple Leaf Gardens when he returned to his desk, too. He believed certain directors were endeavoring to undermine him, replace him with Frank Selke, who had been his assistant for twenty years and who now is general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, and send him to Montreal as president of the NHL where his growling voice wouldn't play so leading a role in Gardens administration. Selke has said the charges were groundless but that he and Smythe were unable to get along after the major returned to his office. Selke resigned his Gardens post and shortly afterward accepted the Montreal position. Smythe has not changed his point of view. "They wanted to kick me upstairs to the NHL president's job," he said not long ago. "But this is where I belong and this is where I'll stay."
In the second and concluding installment in the next issue of Maclean's Trent Frayne tells how Smythe became a millionaire through a paradoxical combination of a sure gambling instinct and a shrewd and efficient business brain.

Started in 1983, the Small Project Assistance (SPA) Program represents the largest and longest-running partnership between United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Peace Corps. Since 2000, nearly $44 million in USAID funds have enabled the SPA Program to support life-changing projects around the world. SPA grant projects have generated an additional $34 million in local community and third party contributions.
The SPA Program is active in approximately 40 Peace Corps posts each year, with each country's development priorities driving the focus of local programming. In any given year, the multi-sectoral SPA Program supports activities in each of the seven U.S. Foreign Assistance Framework Program Categories:
There are three components to the SPA Program: Grant projects, training activities, and field-level program support.
SPA grant projects and technical trainings provide valuable skills and knowledge transfer that empower communities to find innovative, local solutions to their development needs. In an average year, over 275,000 community members participate as stakeholders in more than 500 SPA grant projects.
Through the SPA Program, USAID resources combine with the Peace Corps' reach, scale, and local community interaction to catalyze community-led development. Often, communities continue to independently maintain or expand SPA grant projects even after the grants have ended, reaffirming the program's long-term, sustainable impact in communities around the world.

A Follow Up to Making the Case for Apple as a Content Creator
In the few days since the my piece on Apple as a content creator first appeared on Mashable, there's been some discussion about it on Twitter and a piece written by Ryan Lawler on GigaOm that addresses Apple's iTV strategy. Ryan raises some good points about the potential for content creators to develop apps that add value on top of their content across iOS platform (and a theoretical iTV) and the timing being right with content creators beginning to embrace such a strategy.
Given some of the feedback, I want to take a minute to frame the context with which the piece was written.
First, the original title was Making the Case for Apple as a Content Creator. It was intended to spark discussion about a scenario under which it could make sense for Apple to get into the content creation (facilitation) game. It was not intended to be incendiary or linkbaitish.
Second, any consideration of the arguments laid out in the article most definitely require suspension of some of our conceptions of Apple as strictly a historical hardware-software player (I could have made this clearer at the front end of the article). There was a time that Apple, Inc was Apple Computer and, Apple themselves has demonstrated a willingness to engage in this kind of 'suspend what we are' thinking in considering becoming their own cell phone company. It's not 'think outside the box' it's 'there is no box'.
Yes, there are numerous legitimate reasons why Apple wouldn't get into the content facilitation business, but for the moment allow me to borrow your imagination to consider how it could make sense:
Think of your favorite television series. Now imagine a world where Apple produces a series of just such compelling quality and it is available exclusively on an Apple TV/iPad/Phone. Imagine Apple announcing this new series (say, created by Steven Spielberg) at the launch event for the iTV. Yes, it is difficult to produce content that is compelling. And, there is a risk that whatever content they produce/facilitate would not be successful. All I'm suggesting is that readers stretch to consider the considerable upside of exclusive and compelling content that plays across Apple's device ecosystem.
Ryan suggests that content is not important to compelling consumers to buy a new iTV:
But frankly, I don't think it's content deals that will make consumers want to buy the device. Instead, Apple will win in TV the same way it won with the iPhone — by having a compelling platform for app developers.
I'm not convinced. Given the margins Apple requires for any device it sells, any new TV set will carry a price premium over what is available in the market today (the recent holiday season saw specials for 42" TVs in my local market going for as low as $199). This means they are starting with an uphill battle in looking to compel consumers to shell out what is likely to be hundreds of dollars more for their TV and I think part of that argument includes new content paradigms (whether or not new content is in place at the exact time of an iTV launch, the arguments laid out stand).
One comment I saw on Twitter suggested people don't buy specific devices for exclusive access to content. That's been true historically, but where is that rule written? If our discussion here is about what is best for Apple, why shouldn't they press every conceivable advantage, particularly as competitors such as Android continue to breathe down their neck? And, if Apple is successful with a content play, the consumer wins out with new and compelling content they did not have before.
So, despite what has appeared on Twitter, I am not suggesting that Apple rush out and become the next Netflix tomorrow. I am merely suggesting that it is a concept that is interesting and multi-faceted and merits further investigation by Apple. Boy, I would love to be a fly on the wall in their executive conference room for those discussions.

Welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty blog hop, you maybe starting here or you may have come from Julia Quinn.
This week we are CASEing a layout on page 36, and I think you may notice mine is very similar to the card in the centre.
I have used the blends in shades of blue and green to colour the huge magnolia which I had stamped in Memento and have mounted this onto a piece of vellum cardstock which I have stamped with Black Stazon with the bud and leaves from the same stamp set, and then shaded the leaves in with the blends to make them shine.
Finally I added a tag in Whisper White using the Stitched Rectangle Dies to give it further detail, and then added a cute twine bow.
Stamp Set: Good Morning Magnolia
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Whisper White, Vellum
Ink: Jet Black Stazon, Memento,
Accessories: Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight Blends, White and Silver Baker's Twine (retired)
Close up of the beautiful large magnolia and vellum background.
Now it's time to hop on over to Kelly Kent.

A bit of hope is left within the darkness, but she wonders if it is enough to retreat back to Him. The Heavens is lost along the darkness and she can't seem to find it anymore. She realizes that Hell is constructed with her own wrong desires, the regret she now upholds, and it seems to frighten her. The evil shapes her into becoming something she is now scared of herself and finds out that she is being lured to the Satan as time passes by. Her soul is her only way of going back to the one that has created her. Whatever she chooses to do with it, is what will lead her to the one place in her afterlife.

Photo: page of Petro Poroshenko in Facebook
Former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that the militia at the Village Lugansk in the Donbas dressed in civilian and still are weapons in combat positions. He reported about it in Facebook.
According to him, from the bridge into the village of the Luhansk under control of Ukraine, you can see the position of the militia. Poroshenko said that he personally wanted to make sure if it passed the dilution only troops from the Ukrainian side. So he decided to talk with the military and local residents, who allegedly told him that the militias are disguised as civilians.
"My stable position — we need to protect people from the frontline areas and are not allowed to give the enemy a centimeter of Ukrainian land," Poroshenko added. The former President also believes that peace in the Donbass can only come if "Russian troops get out of Ukrainian land and Ukraine will resume control over the border".
The dilution of forces and means at the next station in the conflict zone in the Donbass is constantly postponed. To start the process near the village of Petrovskoe planned on 4 November, after the withdrawal of the Armed forces of Ukraine and the self-proclaimed Luhansk people's Republic in the Golden, which took place earlier. However, the Minister of defense of Ukraine Andriy Zagorodnyuk stated that the date of the withdrawal of troops in the area in Petrovsky will be reviewed.
Part of Donbass is out of control in Kiev as a result of armed conflict. In April 2014, the Ukrainian government began a military operation against the breakaway Donetsk and Lugansk national republics. Kiev has repeatedly accused Moscow of involvement in the fighting. Russia denies all allegations, pointing out their unfounded.

Unexplained Encounters With Invisible Barriers – Mysterious Rays And Energy Fields
Last Updated on
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Imagine it's an ordinary day, you are walking down the street that you know very well, and suddenly you feel that something stops you from taking a step forward. There is no visible obstacle standing in your way and yet you can't move forward. It seems like you have encountered an invisible barrier that simply doesn't allow you to pass.
Does it sound strange? In fact, it may sound like an almost impossible scenario, yet there are several cases of people who have reported such encounters.
Though this may seem like a modern unexplained phenomenon, it is not. Peculiar encounters with invisible barriers can be traced to Biblical times.
Some of curious reports come from witnesses who have caught glimpses from what can be described as parallel realities. If parallel worlds do exist, and most scientists suggest they do, then it's possible that invisible worlds co-existing next to our own reality may be responsible for the emergence of occasional barriers that are invisible to our naked eye.
In more modern times it has also been suggested that mysterious rays and energy fields are causing the appearance of invisible barriers.

* If you want an electric vehicle from a luxury manufacturer, but aren't looking for outrageous styling, then the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is just the ticket. The hatchback's $41,500 entry-level price is also low enough to attract EV buyers who just want more cargo space in their environmentally friendly ride. Source: KBB.com
* The 2014 B-Class Electric Drive is a new first among EVs, because it's foremost a Mercedes-Benz. Created not just as an alternative to gasoline, it's a roomy alternative to EV compromises, letting you enjoy up to 85 miles of range in the lap of stylish luxury. Safety systems include such breakthroughs as ATTENTION ASSIST to help sense drowsy drivers, and PRE-SAFE to help prepare for an accident before it happens. An optional radar-based regenerative braking system is an EV first. When braking or coasting, a radar sensor watches traffic ahead and adapts brakes to recapture the optimal amount of energy. Available luxuries let you tailor its stylish cabin even further, from hand-finished leather and wood, to driving assist that watches your blind spots or even parks the car hands-free. You can charge your B-Class Electric Drive by plugging it in at home. While you can use an ordinary 120-volt outlet, upgrading your garage to a 240-volt station can cut your charge time to just a few hours. The B-Class Electric Drive whisks to 60mph in an impressive 8 seconds. The advanced electric motor generates 251 lb-ft of torque (comparable to our best-selling sedan) starting at 0 rpm. So you get the full reward of its performance at any speed within this sleek yet space-efficient 5-door hatch. Source: The Manufacturer Summary

"Easy and no pressure buying experience"- m2010
I bought a 2018 Tiguan from Alejandro (Alex) at 5th Ave VW a few weeks ago and it was an all around excellent experience. Right from the beginning there was no pressure at the process was fast and easy. I love the car so far. Thank you Alejandro!Read More
"Alejandro restored my faith in VW."- Tiguan Buyer
I leased a Golf back in 2015 - I wasn't prepared to buy at the time. I enjoyed the vehicle and didn't experience any problems, but I did experience a great deal of stress about what I might get hit with at the end of the lease term. I had a cracked windshield, hail damage to the body and a crack in the casing for the review mirror. I shared this stress with Alejandro a few months before my lease was up and expressed some concern about the extra insurance coverage I had purchased through the dealership. He found a solution that eliminated my stress and sold me a beautiful new Tiguan in the process. I am very happy with the new vehicle. I have to say, Alejandro is the consummate professional and I would not likely have purchased a new VW without his skillful handling of my stress around the termination of my lease. I hope VW gives him a good bonus. He deserves it. Derek was helpful too.Read More
"A Pleasure to Deal With"- JPMan
I picked up my new Jetta from 5th Ave Volkswagen 3 weeks ago and I have to say that Alejandro (Alex), Mac, and the rest of the team at 5th Ave VW made the experience a pleasure. Alex was genuinely friendly, professional, and practically bent over backwards to make sure I got the vehicle I wanted, when I wanted it, and that I was satisfied with my purchase after the fact. Due to some unexpected circumstances I had been left without a vehicle on the Friday of a long weekend, but I had been planning on getting a new VW so I called 5th Ave VW. Alex and the rest of the team worked very hard and quickly to make sure I got the car I wanted, in time to enjoy for the long weekend. Alex even made a house call for a test drive! Less than 24 hours after calling Alex I was picking up my brand new car, all financing, registration, and new vehicle preparation taken care of just so I could have my car for the weekend. I can't say enough good things about Alex and the team at 5th Ave VW, and I look forward to doing business with them in the future.Read More
"Easy to deal with, highly recommended!"- Karen M.
We bought a 2018 Tiguan from Fifth Ave VW a few weeks ago. From the moment we walked into the dealership we were impressed. We were offered a refreshment right off the bat and never felt pressured at all. When it came time to talk price our salesperson Marquis was very accommodating as was Ali the sales manager and Derek the finance manager. When it came time to pick up the vehicle it was all shiny and waiting for us. They also had someone show me all of the important features of my new car. Marquis has followed up twice since we drove off the lot and referred me to some YouTube info so that I get to know my new vehicle on my own time. They did an awesome job and we would definitely buy there again and refer our friends and family. Excellent job Fifth Avenue!Read More
"GAVE A DEFECTIVE CAR"- cargal
I bought a Golf TSI, I took it for a test drive and noticed a problem with the breaking, They told me they would deal with it and they did nothing but made it worse. after taking it in to get serviced I was told they would take care of the charge as I didn't have the car for even a week and they made me pay $600 for something they didn't even fixRead More
"STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP"- Muhammad Qamar
I always thought Fifth Ave VW is in customer service business.If thats true, you need to seriously overhaul your staff and teach them how to interact with customers. If you are ripping people off business, which I think you are now after my experience, people like Carl (Service Manager) will take you to the top. If you want to check the record of any place, select lowest rating reviews and check the consistency of all the reviews. Having said that I would urge people to STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. Do yourself a favor and go to any other VW dealership in Calgary except this. Please dont take your car their for maintenance, these guys are next to thieves if not thieves. I took my car for inspection on Nov 15, 2017 and now my drivers door doesn't open properly. First of all, my appointment time was 1030 AM and I didn't get my car back until 430 PM for a 45 min appointment. These people dont care about your time. I talked to their service manager (Carl) and Melissa. Carl told me that they didn't do anything and asked me to prove that door was fine before in Court of Law. Carl also asked me if I made a video of door working fine when I left the car, These people have no respect for themselves or the brand they are representing. I am huge fan of VW but the kind of irresponsible treatment I got today, I would never go there again. I have decided that I will take these garbage people to court, will let you guys know about it later.Read More
"Exceptional service!"- ccparvin
Very friendly and professional environment! Our Sales Consultant Yuda was able to describe all of the functions of the car that I wanted to purchase. They walked us through the entire sales process with ease. The financial adviser gave us his honest and constructive recommendations. All of this gave us the opportunity to receive our car within 2 business days. I would strongly recommend this particular dealership to any new car buyers that are looking for exceptional service and support.Read More

You gave us a Full refund due to inaccurate out of province and leaving the Van in unsafe condition Service Manger hoping this would be the end of the issue but still left the Vehicle in an unsafe condition. 5. B ignition Switch should of been replaced to fix the horn. But you decided to try and fix the horn without doing so. As only one of the contact points had failed. But this also caused grounding issues. Which is why the Wipers and blower didn't work. 6. We.complained to yourselves and Volkswagen Canada and Posted a review about the events that had happened so far. 7. You agreed to replace the ignition Switch to fix the unsafe issues at no cost to myself but the condition was the Negative reviews had to be taken down. 5th avenue is rated as one of the best Volkswagen Dealerships. 7. B Negative reviews shouldn't be taken down you should only ask the customer to post follow up review stating the issues have been fixed. 8. When the Ignition Switch had been fixed. Me and Julia checked the Vehicle Problems related above, Fog Lights, Wipers, Blower Washer Fluid was working. 8B. According to the invoice the above Job would of cost $311 cheaper than fixing just the wire to fix the Horn. 9. In order to replace the Ignition Switch. The Steering wheel had to be removed. When driving the Vehicle back we noticed Steering was not as responsive as it should of been and that there was more resistance. As though there was issues with the Power steering. 10. We brought back the Vehicle after the Weekend. 2 different mechanics test drove the Vehicle. At first 5th tried to downplay that was no issue with Steering. When I pushed the issue they admitted that yes there was minor resistance. (I would argue that there is more than Minor resistance) Due to my experience of driving different Transporters and a Eurovan and driving across Canada from Halifax In this Transporter. I Think I would know how the steering should behave. 11. 5th told me that Red Power steering Fluid commonly found in North American Vehicles was found in my Vehicle. And that was probably the cause of the Issues. A. the Steering was working fine when the Vehicle was brought In. B. The power steering would not fail overnight due to this issue. 12. 5th Avenue have washed their hands. 13. Second Garages will be looking at the Vehicle and we will be taking further action. 15. Fifth Avenue eventually quoted $2300 to fix Daytime running lights plus Parts. Based on quotes elsewhere including a dealership this is overpriced I fully expect a Dealerships to cost more money but but not that much more. you go to a dealership to have a quality job done right. But in this case has to be one of my worst experiences. No honesty or apology across the whole process Ignition Switch should have been replaced in the first place. And Fifth Avenue should've owned up to there mistakes. The main issues is the way the whole process has been handled. No apologies.Read More

"Service of the highest calibre"- Jeremy H
Amazingly good experience. Absolutely fantastic service and responsiveness. They got the 3M done in one and a half days and when I gave short notice for winter tires and rims (on the day I was to pick up the car) they had them mounted on the car within 3 hours!! The purchase began through online chat when I asked if they had the vehicle I was looking for in stock. They replied promptly with three options. I asked if I could test drive and that I would be there in half an hour. They had the brand new vehicle in the color I was interested in actually warming up outside reception when I arrived 40 minutes later. It had most of the protective film still on the car. Within a few minutes I was taken for a drive while they inspected my trade-in. Yuda was wonderful to deal with. Even the negotiating went smoothly and quickly and I felt that I was given a fair deal for my trade-in (better than the dealer where I bought and serviced my previous car since new). The car I test drove was the car I bought. Never had this kind of amazing experience at a dealership! Never have I experienced such good service and professionalism. I never felt pushed. I just felt they wanted to help me in any way they could.Read More

Reports on Formerly Incarcerated Individuals Changes the Debate
In February 2005, the Urban Strategies Council released a report entitled "Homicides in Oakland, 2002-2004," that presented data from the Oakland Police Department on the common characteristics of homicide victims, suspects and the time and location of the homicide. The report also included a section about the parole and probation status of the victims and suspects of homicides. The key findings from this section included that in 2004, approximately 64% of homicide victims were neither on parole nor probation, and 73% of homicide suspects were neither on parole nor probation (see Exhibit 2). This differed from a figure cited by Mayor Jerry Brown in a campaign to implement a curfew for probationers in Oakland. Although a curfew was implemented in spite of the Council's efforts, top officials at regional parole and probation offices circulated the report to their officers, and the Governor's office requested an extension of the analysis to earlier years.
Exhibit 2: Chart from the Urban Strategies Council Report "Homicides in Oakland, 2002-2004".
In April 2005, the Urban Strategies Council (USC) released a supplemental report extending the analysis to earlier years. This supplemental report, "Probationer and Parolee Involvement in Oakland Homicides," focused on the involvement of parolees and probationers as suspects and victims in homicides from 2002 to 2004. Key findings from this report included that the percentage of homicide victims on probation of parole declined each year from 2002 through 2004.
Following these reports, the Urban Strategies Council obtained access to data from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation about people from Alameda County on parole or probation supervision. These data were used in two reports, including the "Community Report on Parole and Probation in Alameda County." One of the purposes of the report is to promote better planning for the population returning from incarceration. This is done by presenting, by neighborhood, estimates of the size of the returning population, estimates of the services they would need to access and estimates of the availability of services. The report also presents an estimated cost associated with closing the gap between the availability of services and the excess demand for the services. This approach of quantifying the service availability and gaps is being improved as better data becomes available to strengthen the estimates made in the report. In response to the first release of the report in December 2005, the Probation Chief agreed to release data to the Urban Strategies Council that had previously been held back.
This story was initially published in Stories: Using Information in Community Building and Local Policy in June 2007.
Junious Williams, Chief Executive Officer of the Urban Strategies Council, provided the information contained in this case.

The CPA Exam community & online study group to help you pass!
Wow, I remember another blogger saying how she was actually excited to get her NTS.. and now that I finally have mine (first applied on 2/27), I feel the exact same way. That's definitely a load of stress off my back. I have 2 sections on this NTS (AUD and FAR) and will get BEC and REG a bit later on. Just didn't want to schedule all 4 exams in one NTS and possibly have to repay if I couldn't fit the exam in the time slot (6 months in the state of PA) Anyway, I'm just glad nothing went too wrong even though there was a slight delay. Off to continue studying and learning more about the wonderful world of Auditing!

The RSPCA is appealing for information after a red kite and a buzzard were found dead, with a body of a pheasant between them in Hereford, on 20 August.
The three birds were found within feet of each other at a farm in Pontrilas and were taken to a vet by the farm's owner.
The vets could find no obvious signs of injury or disease but it is thought that the deaths may be suspicious.
"Whilst we don't know the exact causes of the deaths, it is very unusual to find dead birds like this so near to each other," said RSPCA inspector Sarah Chambers.
"It may be that they were poisoned or that there was something in the pheasant that has then caused the deaths of the birds of prey if they tried to feed on it."
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 not only is it illegal to kill or poison a wild bird and those responsible could face a maximum six months in prison and/or a £5,000 fine.
Anyone with information should contact the RSPCA inspectorate information line on 0300 123 8018.

Daily activities for stress & anxiety

"I'm scared of being trapped at the dead end job that I work I feel like the people I work with rely so heavily on me to the point where I'm not only working within my job description but the job descriptions of my manager and my supervisors. It's to the point where my supervisors ask me to go on break and I'm feeling undervalued and not worth the time that I put in there.

/ NRCS Accepting Applications for Conservation Easement Program
Loading Tree...
Lori Ziehr
Temple, Texas, March 17, 2020 — The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is now accepting applications for the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP). ACEP, reauthorized in the 2018 Farm Bill, funds easements for agricultural lands and wetlands.
Approved agricultural easements prevent productive working lands from being converted to non-agricultural uses and maximize protection of land devoted to food production. Cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland and nonindustrial private forestland are eligible.
Wetland reserve easements restore and enhance wetlands and improve habitat. Eligible lands include farmed or converted wetlands that can be successfully and cost-effectively restored. Applications are currently being accepted for wetlands reserve easements and will be rated according to the easement's potential for protecting and enhancing habitat for migratory birds, fish and other wildlife.
"The 2018 Farm Bill provides tremendous opportunities for even more people to get involved in conserving and protecting our working lands and wetlands," said NRCS acting Texas State Conservationist Drenda Williams. "We encourage Indian tribes, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations and private landowners to contact their local NRCS office to find out how to apply."
ACEP applications are accepted on a continual basis. For fiscal year 2020, Texas will evaluate all applications received by April 17, 2020. Applications received after April 17, 2020, will be held for funding consideration in fiscal year 2021.
Since 1995, NRCS conservation easement programs have protected more than 140,000 acres of restored wetlands and working agricultural lands in Texas.

Popular Hamilton shop closes James Street location
A popular shop on James Street North is closing up shop — but only as important changes loom on the horizon.
The Hamilton Store, the city's one-stop-shop for all things made in and celebrating Steel City is closing their location at 165 James St. N.
In an Instagram post from Monday (Jan. 6), it says that after seven years at the location, the store was closing.
The owner of the building, Graham Crawford, said the building the store was located in had been put up for sale last year and that The Hamilton Store gave notice months ago that they would be closing at the end of 2019.
In a letter posted to the store's front window, owner Donna Reid hints that there is more to come from this very special retailer.
"My goal in this space, for 7 years, has been to celebrate Hamilton and encourage others to do so too," the letter says.
"You'll soon be able to find your favourite merch online."
The Hamilton Store's popular merch includes works created by local artists of popular Hamilton landmarks or features, clothing, knick-knacks and gifts and made by local artisans and businesses, as well as local food products and those iconic Hamilton bricks.
Reid signs off by thanking the community and customers and urging Hamiltonians to "Please LOVE your city."
The store's Instagram post also hints at changes to come and urges followers to continue following their social media pages to see what the future holds for The Hamilton Store.
CORRECTION: Please note that a previous version of this story erroneously implied that The Hamilton Store was evicted. This is not the case and the current story has been corrected and updated. We apologize for any confusion.

The girls are back in town! Nicole Scherzinger and the rest of the Pussycat Dolls will reportedly be reuniting for the first time in over 10 years this weekend for the season finale of the X Factor: Celebrity.
X Factor judge Louis Walsh went on the ITV talk show Lorraine on Monday to announce the news. "The Pussycat Dolls are the guest [for the finale]," he said. "There's an exclusive for you!" The group's appearance on the U.K. singing competition will mark the Pussycat Dolls' first time performing together since 2009.
We've known for a few months that the iconic girl group was working on new material, but we had no idea when a public reunion would finally happen. Now we do.
The exact song, or songs, that the Dolls will be performing haven't been announced yet, but all of our favorites — from Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Kimberley Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar, and Melody Thornton — will be performing together at the reality singing competition's final episode of the season, taking place on Saturday.
Personally, I'm hoping they sing "Stickwitu" or "When I Grow Up." But no matter what they sing, I can't wait to watch this performance on repeat three dozen times.
We've all desperately missed the highly choreographed and sexy "Buttons" singers ever since they split in 2009 after Scherzinger decided to focus on her solo career. After releasing two records — including 2014's Big Fat Lie — she has been a guest judge on shows like The X Factor UK and The Masked Singer.
The Pussycat Dolls will be performing alongside the four finalists, The Chase's Jenny Ryan, twin CBBC stars Max & Harvey, reality star Megan McKenna, and V5, a girl group made up of Latina social media influencers.
