Friends of Lake Pocotopaug to host water cleanup Saturday
EAST HAMPTON >> It’s spring cleaning with a purpose.
On Saturday, the Friends of Lake Pocotopaug will hold their second annual lake cleanup.
John Moore, the president of the friends, came before the Town Council on Tuesday to fill the councilors in on the purpose of the volunteer event.
“Everything in the watershed area eventually winds up in the lake,” Moore said. That includes used tires and nutrients from fertilizers that are washed off residents’ lawns, he said. And, Moore said, there is no shortage of things that do eventually wind up in the lake.
Last year, during the first cleanup effort, the approximately 100 volunteers filled a 20-yard roll-off container with the aforementioned tires, but also with washers, dryers, and pieces of docks.
“We tell people, ‘If you can’t get it — we will,’” Moore said.
He said the clean-up will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday and continue through approximately noon.
“We meet at Sears Park at 9 a.m., and then we basically assign routes and ask them to pick up anything that is part of the watershed” that could wind up in the lake, Moore said.
“Last year, we had whole families, and scouts, and members of the Interact Club from the high school, and even people from out of town who had heard about it and decided to show up,” Moore said.
There is a rain date – Sunday, but Moore said he believed any showers would probably hold off until later in the afternoon.
“We’re pretty much done by noontime,” Moore said.
The routes the various groups will take are laid out in such a way that people will naturally move towards Angelico’s Lake House, Moore said.
Which is convenient because once the clean-up is completed, the volunteers will sit down to a free buffet served at the Lake House, Moore said.

In the period when winter is getting closer, many of our citizens are afraid of how they will heat their homes, and those who heat with pellets are especially worried.
The prices of pellets are constantly increasing, and the export ban measures introduced by the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) did not produce adequate results.
The current price of pellets on the market of BiH is from 900 BAM to 920 BAM per ton, depending on the location. What is also a fact is the large increase in demand precisely because of the fear that there could be additional price increases or shortages.
Many who were waiting for a possible price reduction still decided to get pellets at the current prices.
According to the company “Drvosjeca”, demand has increased significantly this month.
“The demand is lower than last year, but if we compare current situation with the previous months, the demand in this month is significantly higher,” it was said from the company Drvosjeca.
They said that it is not excluded that the price could probably reach that of the region where a ton of pellets is sold at a price higher than 1.000 BAM.
But, as they state, that won’t be a problem either, as much as the amount of pellets could be a problem.
“At the moment, there are sufficient capacities to cover the market of BiH, but if the export ban is lifted due to the huge demand on the foreign pellet market, it will not be possible,” they warn from company Drvosjeca.


Kenny Chesney is a firm believer in the “best song wins” policy. The award-winning artist, who solo penned enduring classics like “I Go Back,” “Beer in Mexico,” and “Old Blue Chair”, considers those to be gifts. He deems it “asinine” for one would think that they could write the best 10-12 tracks for an album in a town brimming with songwriting talent.
“Whether I wrote it or someone else wrote it, or someone brand new sent it to me or gave it to me if it was great, then it had a chance to make my record,” Chesney tells Apple Music Country’s Kelleigh Bannen on Today’s Country Radio on March 19.
Chesney’s career kick-started when he signed a publishing deal with Acuff-Rose in 1993. As a recent graduate of East Tennessee State, the emerging artist says he was “running toward everything.”
“I was running toward my dream, I was running toward the unknown, the uncertainty of what I was doing,” he continues. The Nashville newcomer won over Troy Tomilson, now Chairman and CEO of Chesneys’s current publishing home—UMPG Nashville—with a few songs he brought to Music City including “Tin Man.”
“All of a sudden I was writing with songwriters every day and walking down the hallway every day with a lot of these writers that truly influenced my life,” he recalls. Among them were Dean Dillon, Whitey Shafer, and Skip Ewing.
“I was really green in the business, but I had to grow up really quickly when you’re sitting in the room with those guys, you know?” he describes. “And so it was a huge learning experience for me, but that’s where it all started. You know, those guys are still great friends of mine today and it was such an unbelievable way to enter into the music business, sitting in the room with some of the most creative minds in the world.”
The experience moved him, shaping his ideas of storytelling and honing a craft that built his multi-award-winning decades-spanning career as a country music icon. Early exposure to the multitude of songwriting talent at Acuff-Rose furthered his notion that others are capable of telling your stories. Now, he wields ideas from peers and predecessors that align with his vision and deliver dynamic records that resonate with a broad listener base.
His current radio single, “Knowing You,” is reminiscent of those early days on the front end of his dreams that he recalls so wistfully. Penned by Brett James—credited for “Out Last Night,” “Spirit of the Storm,” “When the Sun Goes Down”—Adam James, and Kat Higgins, the slow-burning tune exemplifies Chesney’s ideology of songwriting. The video, released March 12, portrays a cinematically stark contrast between his past and present, wishing well to a lost lover.
“While it’s a simple country song,” Chesney says, “it’s the kind of song that can hold anyone. You don’t have to be on a fishing boat freezing to know this pain and gratitude for knowing someone who changed your life. And wherever they are, you know they’re living their best life, shining and doing the same thing for someone else—and that’s pretty rich.”

The Securities and Exchange Commission has scheduled a meeting for this Wednesday to discuss setting a roadmap for the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards.
The long-anticipated move will provide a timetable for the convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles with IFRS. "Our focus is laying out a roadmap," said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox (pictured) last week, according to Reuters. "It will be an important milestone, but it will be one step in what will undoubtedly be a long journey."
At the meeting, the SEC also plans to consider proposing amendments to various rules and forms to allow early use of IFRS by a "limited number" of public companies, the SEC said in announcing the meeting.
The commissioners plan to provide a comment period to solicit feedback and allow interested parties to chime in with their suggestions and objections to the proposed timetable. The roadmap would require a second vote before it became binding.

Glasgow is a city located in Scotland, United Kingdom. It is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture. One of the common questions asked by tourists and locals alike is whether Glasgow has a tram system.
History of Tram Systems in Glasgow
Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, has a rich history of public transportation. From horse-drawn carriages to modern buses and trains, the city has seen it all. However, one mode of transportation that has been absent from Glasgow’s streets for over 50 years is the tram system.
The first tram system in Glasgow was introduced in 1872, and it quickly became a popular mode of transportation for the city’s residents. The trams were powered by horses and ran on rails that were laid down on the streets. Over time, the horse-drawn trams were replaced by electric trams, which were faster and more efficient.
By the early 1900s, Glasgow had one of the largest tram systems in the world, with over 1000 trams operating on more than 100 miles of track. The trams were a vital part of the city’s transportation network, providing a cheap and reliable way for people to get around.
However, the popularity of the tram system began to decline in the 1930s, as more people started to use cars and buses. The trams were seen as old-fashioned and slow, and many people preferred the convenience of private transportation.
Despite this, the tram system continued to operate until the 1960s, when it was finally decommissioned. The last tram ran in Glasgow on September 4, 1962, marking the end of an era for the city.
The decision to decommission the tram system was controversial, and many people felt that it was a mistake. Some argued that the trams could have been modernized and made more efficient, while others believed that they should have been preserved as a part of Glasgow’s history.
In recent years, there have been calls to reintroduce a tram system in Glasgow. Proponents of the idea argue that trams are a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation than buses or cars, and that they could help to reduce congestion on the city’s streets.
However, there are also concerns about the cost of building a new tram system, as well as the disruption that would be caused during the construction process. There are also questions about whether a new tram system would be able to compete with the existing bus and train networks in the city.
Despite these challenges, there is no doubt that the tram system played an important role in Glasgow’s history. It was a symbol of the city’s growth and development, and it provided a vital service to generations of Glaswegians.
Whether or not Glasgow will ever have a tram system again remains to be seen. However, the legacy of the city’s original tram system lives on, and it continues to be remembered as an important part of Glasgow’s past.
Pros and Cons of Implementing a Tram System in Glasgow
Glasgow is a bustling city with a population of over 600,000 people. It is the largest city in Scotland and the fourth-largest in the United Kingdom. With such a large population, it is no surprise that the city faces significant transportation challenges. One solution that has been proposed is the implementation of a tram system. In this article, we will explore the pros and cons of implementing a tram system in Glasgow.
1. Improved Public Transportation: A tram system would provide an efficient and reliable mode of public transportation for the people of Glasgow. It would connect different parts of the city and provide a faster and more comfortable alternative to buses.
2. Reduced Traffic Congestion: With more people using public transportation, there would be fewer cars on the road, which would reduce traffic congestion. This would lead to a reduction in air pollution and make the city a more pleasant place to live.
3. Economic Benefits: The implementation of a tram system would create jobs and stimulate economic growth. It would also attract more tourists to the city, which would boost the local economy.
4. Increased Accessibility: A tram system would make the city more accessible to people with disabilities. Trams are designed to be wheelchair accessible, which would make it easier for people with mobility issues to get around the city.
1. High Cost: The implementation of a tram system is expensive. It requires significant investment in infrastructure, including tracks, stations, and vehicles. The cost of building a tram system in Glasgow could run into billions of pounds.
2. Disruption to Traffic: The construction of a tram system would cause significant disruption to traffic in the city. Roads would need to be closed, and traffic would need to be rerouted, which would cause delays and inconvenience for motorists.
3. Limited Coverage: A tram system would only cover a limited area of the city. It would not be able to reach all parts of Glasgow, which would limit its usefulness as a mode of public transportation.
4. Maintenance Costs: Tram systems require regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly. This can be expensive, and the cost of maintenance would need to be factored into the overall cost of implementing a tram system in Glasgow.
In conclusion, the implementation of a tram system in Glasgow has both pros and cons. While it would provide an efficient and reliable mode of public transportation, it would also be expensive and cause significant disruption to traffic during construction. Ultimately, the decision to implement a tram system in Glasgow will depend on a range of factors, including cost, feasibility, and public opinion. However, it is clear that a tram system could provide significant benefits to the people of Glasgow, and it is worth considering as a potential solution to the city’s transportation challenges.
Alternative Transportation Options in Glasgow
Glasgow is a bustling city in Scotland that is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture. With a population of over 600,000 people, it is also a city that is constantly on the move. As such, it is important for Glasgow to have a reliable and efficient transportation system that can keep up with the demands of its residents and visitors.
One of the most popular forms of transportation in Glasgow is the bus system. The city has an extensive network of buses that run throughout the day and night, making it easy for people to get around. The buses are also relatively affordable, with fares starting at just £1.50 for a single journey.
Another popular transportation option in Glasgow is the subway system. The Glasgow Subway is a small underground railway that runs in a circular loop around the city center. It is a quick and convenient way to get around, with trains running every few minutes during peak hours. The subway is also relatively cheap, with fares starting at just £1.55 for a single journey.
However, one transportation option that Glasgow does not have is a tram system. While many cities around the world have embraced trams as a way to reduce traffic congestion and improve public transportation, Glasgow has yet to follow suit.
There have been several proposals over the years to introduce a tram system in Glasgow, but none have come to fruition. One of the main reasons for this is the cost. Building a tram system is a massive undertaking that requires a significant amount of investment. The cost of building a tram system in Glasgow has been estimated to be in the billions of pounds, which is a significant amount of money for a city of Glasgow’s size.
Another reason why Glasgow has not introduced a tram system is the existing infrastructure. The city’s streets are narrow and winding, which would make it difficult to build a tram system without significant disruption to traffic flow. Additionally, many of the city’s historic buildings and landmarks would need to be taken into consideration when planning a tram system, which could further complicate the process.
Despite the lack of a tram system, Glasgow has made significant strides in improving its transportation options in recent years. The city has invested in cycling infrastructure, with dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes popping up throughout the city. This has made it easier for people to cycle to work or school, reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality.
Glasgow has also introduced a low-emission zone in the city center, which restricts the most polluting vehicles from entering the area. This has helped to improve air quality in the city, making it a healthier place to live and work.
In conclusion, while Glasgow does not have a tram system, it has a range of alternative transportation options that make it easy for people to get around. From buses and subways to cycling infrastructure and low-emission zones, Glasgow is a city that is committed to improving its transportation options for the benefit of its residents and visitors. While a tram system may not be on the horizon for Glasgow anytime soon, the city’s commitment to sustainable and efficient transportation will continue to make it a great place to live, work, and visit.
Comparing Glasgow’s Public Transportation to Other Cities
Glasgow is a bustling city in Scotland that is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture. As with any major city, public transportation is a crucial aspect of daily life for many residents and visitors alike. While Glasgow has a variety of transportation options available, including buses, trains, and taxis, one question that often arises is whether or not the city has a tram system.
When it comes to public transportation, Glasgow is often compared to other major cities around the world. In terms of tram systems, cities like Amsterdam, Melbourne, and Zurich are often cited as examples of successful tram networks. However, Glasgow does not currently have a tram system in place.
This is not to say that Glasgow has not explored the possibility of implementing a tram system in the past. In fact, there have been several proposals and plans put forward over the years. One of the most notable was the Glasgow Crossrail project, which aimed to create a tram line that would run from the city center to the east end of Glasgow. However, this project was ultimately scrapped due to concerns over cost and disruption to the city.
Despite the lack of a tram system, Glasgow does have a robust public transportation network that serves the needs of residents and visitors alike. The city’s bus system is extensive, with over 100 routes that cover the entire city and surrounding areas. There are also several train stations in Glasgow, including Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street, which provide connections to destinations throughout Scotland and beyond.
In recent years, Glasgow has also made efforts to improve its cycling infrastructure, with the introduction of bike lanes and cycle hire schemes. This has helped to make cycling a more viable option for those looking to get around the city.
While Glasgow may not have a tram system, it is important to note that every city has its own unique transportation needs and challenges. What works for one city may not necessarily work for another. Glasgow’s public transportation network may not be perfect, but it is constantly evolving and adapting to meet the needs of its residents and visitors.
In conclusion, while Glasgow does not currently have a tram system, it has a variety of other transportation options available that serve the needs of the city’s residents and visitors. The lack of a tram system does not detract from the city’s overall transportation network, which is constantly evolving and adapting to meet the needs of those who rely on it. Ultimately, the success of any transportation system depends on a variety of factors, including cost, feasibility, and public support. While a tram system may not be the right fit for Glasgow at this time, it is always possible that this could change in the future as the city continues to grow and evolve.
Future Plans for Glasgow’s Transportation Infrastructure
Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, has a rich history of transportation infrastructure. From the horse-drawn trams of the 19th century to the modern subway system, the city has always been at the forefront of transportation innovation. However, one question that often arises is whether Glasgow has a tram system.
The answer to this question is no, Glasgow does not currently have a tram system. However, there are plans in place to introduce one in the near future. The proposed tram system would connect the city center with the airport and other key areas of the city.
The idea of a tram system in Glasgow is not a new one. In fact, the city had a tram system in the past, which was dismantled in the 1960s. The decision to remove the tram system was controversial, and many people have since called for its reinstatement.
The proposed tram system would be a modern, state-of-the-art system that would provide a fast and efficient mode of transportation for the people of Glasgow. The system would be designed to be environmentally friendly, with low emissions and energy-efficient technology.
One of the key benefits of a tram system is that it would help to reduce traffic congestion in the city. With more people using public transportation, there would be fewer cars on the road, which would help to reduce air pollution and improve the overall quality of life in the city.
Another benefit of a tram system is that it would provide a reliable and efficient mode of transportation for commuters. With a dedicated tram line, people would be able to travel quickly and easily between different parts of the city, without having to worry about traffic or delays.
The proposed tram system would also be a boost to the local economy. It would create jobs during the construction phase, and would also provide ongoing employment opportunities for people working in the transportation sector.
Of course, there are also challenges associated with introducing a tram system in Glasgow. One of the main challenges is the cost. Building a new transportation system is a significant investment, and it will require funding from both the public and private sectors.
Another challenge is the disruption that construction of the tram system would cause. There would be road closures and diversions, which could cause inconvenience for local residents and businesses.
Despite these challenges, there is a strong case for introducing a tram system in Glasgow. The benefits of the system would be significant, and it would help to position the city as a leader in transportation innovation.
In conclusion, while Glasgow does not currently have a tram system, there are plans in place to introduce one in the near future. The proposed system would provide a fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly mode of transportation for the people of Glasgow. While there are challenges associated with introducing a new transportation system, the benefits of a tram system would be significant, and it would help to position Glasgow as a leader in transportation innovation.

Plastics Road at Dow Chemical’s Lake Jackson campus is now, perhaps, the most plastic road in America. If it holds up, drivers could find themselves rolling atop discarded shopping bags in no time — and with little notice.
As a test of its own polymer resin, the company repaved about 2,600 feet of the two-lane road around one of its newest polyethylene plastic manufacturing plants using an asphalt mix that includes post-consumer recycled plastic. It is a first for the company in North America, and one of the widest uses of recycled plastic for a roadway in the nation.
“It is creating a new use for something that needs to be recycled,” said Jeff Wooster, global sustainability director for Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics.

About the Political Principles Pledge
Throughout history, governments have argued the need to take away individual rights for the good of the people.
We recognize the harm this action can inflict if unchecked. Canadians hold and have always held the core value of the individuals right to freedom. The right of each individual to choose freely within moral and ethical boundaries supported by the Canadian Bill of Rights and the supportive language in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. To choose within those boundaries without fear of reprisal or penalty. If Canadians cannot make these decisions without threat of expulsion from work, school or participation in civil society, there are no rights the government cannot trample.
It is precisely when times are the most difficult that our rights must be upheld, this is the duty of our elected representatives. Coercive government policy, dangerous programs or processes when put forward that can potentially rob Canadian citizens of their rights and freedoms must be defeated.
- the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process of law
- the right of the individual to equality before the law and the protection of the law
- freedom of religion;
- freedom of speech;
- freedom of assembly and association; and
- freedom of the press.
All politicians regardless of affiliation must stand confidently and be heard when the inherent sovereign Rights and Freedoms of Canadian citizens are threatened.

I love this new little thing; we are expecting more really hot weather around here and I wanted some more really cool floaty things that can waft around my body, if not picking up any actual real breezes then possibly the swishing about of fabric just might create flurries of pseudo-breezes to cool me off... I know, could be hopeless wishful thinking but in a heatwave one is willing to try anything.
You're probably wondering about the strange and seemingly random name I've given to this quite romantic little number... well remember this?
The very very sweet but fabric-clueless young man who cut, cut? nay, hacked off this piece of silk for me in the Alannah Hill outlet store in Melbourne then packaged it for me by stuffing it (and by "stuffing" I'm not speaking figuratively but quite literally) into a little sandwich bag, painstakingly sealed closed, and presented thus for me to carry out of the store... Funny! I was so entertained by this cavalier treatment of fine, high quality silk that the image just became firmly wedged in my head never to be dislodged... the Sandwich Bag dress was always going to be its name after that.
A positive, at a pinch I know I can always fit this dress in a teensy little sandwich bag if an emergency packing situation arises...
I've had this Vogue pattern for about a year, and finally have used it. I had always looked at it a bit sideways and wondered if was a very silly purchase that wasn't me at all, but I'm over that now. I've decided all those extravagant ruffles that before had me balking are really quite flattering for my figure. So it does pay to try new things and to stretch oneself out of one's comfort zone every once in a while. And fortuitously I had just exactly the right amount of fabric, lucky or what?? That young man with his jaggedy cuts did it just right!
The dress is completely lined with navy blue acetate lining, and all the ruffles and raw edges are finished with a rolled hem using two shades of red overlocking thread, just using threads I had already. The lining hem is finished in the traditional way. The buttons are these perfect dark mauve discs found at Fabulous Fabrics. Aaand, I added pockets... ! (self high five)
Below is the pattern review I submitted, in case you're interested...
Lined dresses A, B, fitted through bust area have princess seams, contrast neck and lower flounce, straps and loop closure, sash with threaded loops.
Overall 6-20, I bought the AA option with sizes 6-12 and sewed a straight size 10.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you had finished sewing it?
yes, except that I used self fabric for the ruffles, not a contrasting fabric
Were the instructions easy to follow?
yesWhat did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It is a loose fitting dress, so precision fitting is not an issue here, simplifying things.
I wasn't sure about the look of all those ruffles at first and so put off making up this one for about a year. Now I love them and feel they are very flattering to my figure. However those same extravagant ruffles are what contributes to the difficulty of getting a good finish, particularly in the neckline/shoulder strap area, sewing dress to lining and turning right side out in step 24. In this part I fully appreciated how essential thin lightweight fabric is for this pattern to work at all, so you can scrunch up those ruffles up tight enough to be contained with those thin little shoulder areas when sewing.
Understitching around these areas and the button loop area was quite fiddly. The button loop area was quite fiddly full stop, but I put this down to the delicate and slippery silk I chose to make the dress up in, and not the fault of the pattern.
Thin silk charmeuse
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I added in-seam pockets in the side seams of the dress.
I used the rolled hem function on my overlocker to finish all raw edges of the ruffles and the sash, rather than the narrow hem method described in step 4 and 5 of the instructions. So much easier! Plus instead of double stitching all the seam allowances as described I finished raw edges on the inside by overlocking.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it?
I won't sew this again in the near future, as it is such an eye-catching thing one of these is enough in my wardrobe. But when this one bites the dust I might.
I recommend this pattern as a lovely romantic little dress, perfect for summer days. It is actually simpler than it looks, my only proviso is to be certain to only attempt this with very thin fabric.
I'm a little surprised myself at how much I love the "adorableness" of this dress, not a style I usually go for. I feel so feminine in it, plus on a practical note it'll to be very cool to wear on very hot summer days.
Below: I almost didn't include this picture, but decided the wind had co-operated by showing off the lining, which I hadn't photographed otherwise...
Below at left; threaded sash loops, at right; yup, pockets!

Fossil smartwatches have become an essential accessory for tech-savvy individuals, offering a seamless blend of style and functionality. However, even the most advanced smartwatches can run into issues, and one of the most common problems users encounter is a failure to charge.
In this guide, we will explore the reasons behind your Fossil smartwatch not charging and provide step-by-step troubleshooting solutions to help you get your timepiece back in action. Whether it’s a battery issue, charger problem, or software glitch, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into the world of Fossil smartwatch charging and how to keep your wearable running smoothly.
Table of ContentsToggle
Understanding the Basics
To effectively troubleshoot why your Fossil smartwatch is not charging, it’s essential to grasp the fundamentals of how these devices are typically powered up. Fossil smartwatches, like many others on the market, rely on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to keep them running.
The charging process usually involves a few key components: a rechargeable battery, a charging cable, and the charging port on the smartwatch. When you connect the charging cable to the watch and a power source, it allows electrical current to flow into the battery, storing energy for your watch to use.
Fossil offers various smartwatch models, and the methods for charging may vary. Some use wireless charging, while others have pins or magnetic connectors. It’s crucial to understand your specific model’s charging mechanism to troubleshoot effectively. Having a grasp of these basics is the first step in identifying the root cause of your charging issue and finding the right solution.
Possible Reasons for Fossil Smartwatch Not Charging

Troubleshooting and resolving charging issues with your Fossil smartwatch is essential to ensure you continue to enjoy the benefits of this stylish and functional device.
By understanding the basics of how these watches charge, identifying possible causes, and following systematic troubleshooting steps, you can often address the problem yourself.
Preventive measures, like using official accessories and maintaining your device, go a long way in preventing future issues.
However, when you encounter persistent or hardware-related problems, it’s wise to seek professional help, especially if your smartwatch is under warranty.
With the right approach, you can keep your Fossil smartwatch charged, ensuring it remains a reliable and indispensable part of your daily life.

My first card showcases one of the new individual cling mounted stamps called Rejoice!. I prepared the background by blending several colours of Tim Holtz Distress Inks and masking off sections to create the mountains. For the sky I used: Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon and a touch of Aged Mahogany around the edges. The mountain in the foreground: Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans. The moon: Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade.
Here's a closer look at her the rising angel. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured her with Graph'It alcohol markers. The wings are heat embossed on vellum using WOW Bright White EP. I fussy cut and adhered both onto the inked background, leaving most of the wings free so she looks like she's flying.

Christmas markets are a delightful annual tradition in Germany. Each one is a sparkling fairyland with Christmas music, bright colorful lights, and crowds of people all bundled up in winter clothes. Out for an evening of fun, everyone is busy chatting, laughing, and enjoying warm, spiced wine to wash away the chilly air.
The festivities begin several weeks prior to Christmas Day when temporary wooden huts are constructed and placed in the market squares of towns. Some towns and villages have as many as 200 huts, and each hut is festooned with Christmas bulbs, wreaths, and ribbons as well as Santa and his elves.
Vendors sell a variety of handicrafts such as candles, ornaments, carved wooden toys, and wind chimes, and the aroma of the Christmas market foods fills the surrounding streets even before one enters the festival grounds. Some of the edible goodies you might enjoy include bratwurst, potato pancakes, spiced wine, pastries, and beer.
A recent trip to Germany took us to the Christmas markets in the historic cities of Lübeck, Bonn, Aachen, and Wiesbaden, but each city had plenty to offer outside the festive markets.
Lübeck’s markets were a pure delight, and they had several, including a dimly lit medieval section featuring Old World crafts and food. This city is proud of its three Nobel Prize Laureates: Thomas Mann, Willy Brent, and Günter Grass — all of whom considered Lübeck their hometown.
Buddenbrookhaus honors the literary achievements of Mann and attracts his followers and devotees from all over the world. The Günter Grass-Haus contains the author’s writing studio, now an exhibition and research facility. Nearby, the Willy-Brandt-Haus features interesting exhibits and displays from the different eras of the life of this late politician and federal chancellor.
Lübeck is known for delicious high-quality marzipan created in 300 varieties. Russian czars and German emperors have enjoyed this delicacy and Café Niederegger is the place to go for this chewy confection. Operating since 1806, the café attracts visitors from all over the world.
If you want to walk off Christmas market calories, take a tour of the Lübeck Cathedral. This religious shrine was completed around 1230 and contains numerous works of interesting art and historical importance.
In Bonn, we visited a wonderful Christmas market filled with sparkling lights, decorated trees, and the aroma of street food. Bonn’s famous son, Beethoven, was born in December 1770, and the city is already gearing up 2020 when many celebrations will commemorate the 250th anniversary of his birth.
The Museum Mile contains – you guessed it – several museums for art and cultural aficionados. One interesting exhibit is a contemporary history of Germany since 1945 at the Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. On the nearby Rhine River, a romantic boat trip meandering through the city is also available.
Aachen’s Christmas market is cheerfully abuzz with holiday activity. We strolled through the aisles of vendors and partook of more grilled bratwurst and potato pancakes served with a side of chunky applesauce. It was fun to see the children bundled up from head to toe like little colorful snowmen and enjoying the carnival rides blaring with loud holiday music throughout the grounds.
Charlemagne established his imperial residence Aachen and coronations took place in the city’s cathedral up until the 16th century. There are 5,000 years of history to explore as well as the city’s art and historical museums. The newest attraction is the Centre Charlemagne, a museum that brings Aachen’s history alive.
Aachener Printen is the most famous delicacy of the city. This pastry is a spicy gingerbread and has been produced in the region since 1820. For four generations, the Nobis family has operated several in-town shops as well as a popular Christmas stall where people line up to purchase colorfully wrapped packages of the confection.
Wiesbaden, our last stop, had the beautifully-lit pink Marktkirche (market church) majestically residing over the Christmas market where a variety of Christmas concerts and special programs for children are offered. Adults can enjoy one of the most popular beverages, glühwein, a hot, spiced drink made with red or white wine from the region’s various vineyards.
Wiesbaden is known for hot thermal springs, discovered by the Romans 2,000 years ago. Today, visitors from all over the world arrive here to enjoy the healing baths, and if there is spare time, architectural and cultural tours are available.
The unique Christmas markets as well as the rich cultural heritages of these four German cities provide visitors with a delightful experience. The food, crafts, architecture, and fascinating histories of Lübeck, Bonn, Aachen, and Wiesbaden will have you booking your trip for next year’s celebrations.

56. You never can tell
You are now in for a treat, as I am going to share with you the Chuck Berry Rules for Quick-Service. They are not well known, which is partly due to the fact that I only invented them about half an hour ago.
I can hear some of you commenting, unhelpfully, that you have never heard of Chuck Berry and, indeed, some of you (including some CEOs) were not born when the guy was strutting his stuff. Well, for those folks, Berry is a vintage rock ’n’ roller, still performing at the age of (by my calculation) 146. It is generally admitted that he was a seminal influence on most early rock stars.
My Chuck Berry Rules for Quick-Service started crystallising when I heard a radio show vote one of his songs as ‘Best Rock Song Ever’. ...


Vail Valley’s aspen leaves set to change
Special to the Daily
Editor’s note: This is the first of two parts. Look for the second part in Sunday’s Vail Daily.
EAGLE COUNTY — The Colorado blue spruce is the state tree, but it is the quaking aspen that is the best known and most easily recognized tree in Colorado. The “gold rush” occurs every fall as millions of people are lured to the high country to view the beautiful colors of changing aspen trees. This member of the poplar family, which grows at elevations ranging from about 6,000 feet to almost 11,500 feet, can be found in all of Colorado’s national forests. Quaking aspen, Populus tremuloides, gets its scientific name from a characteristic of the leaf. The heart-shaped leaves have a fine-toothed margin, and the petiole — the stem that attaches the leaf to the tree — is flattened. The flat petiole causes the leaf to quake or tremble in the slightest breeze. Many legends revolve around the belief that the tree trembles in the presence of man.
There are two other trees that have a similar color change in the Colorado hills and from a distance may look like aspen. One is the lanceleaf cottonwood (Populus acuminata). These trees are common along river bottoms. Another similar poplar found in Colorado is the balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) which has a notable fragrance. The bark of both trees is not as smooth and the leaves are long and thin.
The color change in the high country starts in the middle of September and lasts into October, depending on temperatures and weather conditions. On a clear, cool September day, the combination of blue-gray and pure white of snow-capped peaks, yellow to red-colored aspen and rich blue skies can easily cause a sensory overload.
Support Local Journalism
What causes this incredible fall show? All the gold, yellow, and red colors seen in aspen trees in the fall are present in the leaf throughout the spring and summer, too, but the predominant green chlorophyll necessary for food production overshadows them. When the length of the day decreases and temperatures drop in the fall, chlorophyll production slows down and eventually stops. The trees then begin to absorb the chlorophyll and leave behind the other pigments: Carotenoid pigments, which produce yellow, orange, and brown colors like those in carrots and corn; and Anthocyanin pigments, which produce the reds found in cranberries and red apples. Eventually, the dying leaves flutter to the ground in a rain of gold.
No one has yet nailed down what temperature, amount of seasonal moisture and amount of rain and snow in the fall actually impacts the time, duration and intensity of the color changes. Adequate, but not excessive, summer moisture, cool nights without a freeze and an absence of fall rains and snows seem to produce the best fall shows. Here are some tips for finding the best fall colors:
• West-facing slopes tend to display more vibrant colors.
• Dry summers cause the leaves to dry out and fall more quickly off the trees.
• Wet summers tend to make the leaves darken to brown or black and become moldy.
• Trees at higher elevations, on north facing slopes and those in the northern part of the state tend to change earlier than other trees.
• Watch Front Range weather forecasts for viewing tips.
A general rule is that “spring comes one day later and fall comes one day earlier for every 100 feet of elevation gain.” In addition “spring comes one day later and fall comes one day earlier for every 10 miles of northern travel.” If you visit an area and the trees have yet to change or have already changed, then use these rules to change your drive.
Aspen trees grow in a unique way called “cloning.” What begins as one aspen becomes a whole grove when that tree’s root system sends up “suckers,” or shoots, which become new trees. This cloning produces huge areas of trees that all share the same root system. When you look at a grove of aspen trees, you are actually looking at one gigantic organism, all with the same genetic makeup connected to the same underground root structure. When fall begins, all the trees in the clone change colors at nearly the same time. This creates large expansive areas where all the trees are about the same color. This is even more obvious in the spring when all the trees in the stand leaf out at the same time.

Padmavati: Deepika Padukone-Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh’s historical saga
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s padmavati trailer has been released, it is much more beautiful than expected. In the film, the role of Deepika Padukone Rajput Queen Padmavati, who saved her life while Alauddin Khilji, was jumping in the fire offering. Sanjay Leela Bhansali took this legendary popular choice on the streets of Rajasthan’s streets. The film was released on December 1, and the first poster aroused people’s curiosity and anticipation.
In general, all expectations are placed on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s padmavati and the film is expected to earn 350-400 million. Believe that padmavati could become Bollywood bahubali.
It is worth mentioning that the Bahubali is a fantastic drama of time, opened the eyes of Bollywood. There is content, song, drama, music, the role of the film. So the film has a banner at the box office.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Magic:
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is Bollywood rajamouli. They put the drama of the time in the best way before the audience, until now only people do so. Whether it is Devdas or the beauty of the heart of Sanam, who gave us the heart, always present in front of the audience the only thing.
The posters of the two posters were released from the trailer and Dipika Pardonnay presented it like a goddess. At the same time, it also clearly shows that the protagonist of this movie is a beautiful face.
padmavati has fallen:
This is Padmavati’s second poster! In the film, Deepika Padukone Rajput plays Maharani Padmavati, which is popular among people.
Padmavati’s starcast is very powerful. While Ranveer Singh and Dipika Pardon Canni’s Ramlila have been formed with the Bajirao Mastani couple after seeing the Shahid Karp on Ranveer Kapoor Dipika Pardon Cony made the movie interesting in his own right.
Ranvir Singh is completely negative in the film. But he is also the protagonist of the film. His character will not sympathize with anyone. But in Bollywood, mainly to show the trend of the new trend and anti-hero, encouraging.
Publicity: the film has been enough publicity. In the rumored URI of the film, Dipika Pardon Kerry and Ranveer Singh have a basic master of the scene. The assumption of this scene is that, Alauddin saw Padmavati in a dream, that is the scene of love. This is a strong opposition from Rajasthan’s platform army. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was beaten and the film was broken. Later the film changed.
Remarkable dance drama: In the film, Dipika Pardon Kony has already filmed a muffin 400 delivery. Ghoomar is a folk dance of Rajasthan. When people will see it very excited, it determines the whole Rajasthan film to squeeze.

Hutchens, Dawn Powell, Rosemary Benet, Whit Burnett, et al as winners and runners-up in the annual contest conducted by the editors of Story magazine in an attempt to tap the creative resources of our nation's campuses. All seventeen authors were at the time of the contest -- December, 1960, to April 1961 -- students at an American college or university. There is every reason to believe that some from among this group will achieve the literary eminence of the past winners of the Story contest -- Budd Schulberg, Mary Medearis, and Norman Mailer. The stories, without exception, are thoroughly professional, varying in theme and style as widely as they do in setting. Particularly effective is Helen Essary Ansell's The Threesome the second-prize winner, a poignant, low-keyed tale of alienation of affection with an ending startling and justified. The Hitchhiker augurs well for Jerry Whitfield who appears to rely less on the ""good idea"" of most young writers than on a style which can enthrall as well as the best in his field and a talent for subtle, deft characterizations. Congratulations are most in order for Random House.

He printed his images using the 19th century process of platinum and palladium printing, for which he is the recognized master. His books include "Platinum & Palladium Printing," as well as Nazraeli publications "The Grand Tour" and "British Isles." Now with "Italy Through Another Lens," Arentz has moved to the 21st century, using the latest technology. His impressions of Italy are indeed “Italy Through Another Lens.” Arentz presents a series of landscapes not generally seen by Italians or visitors, and which, framed by his unerring eye, radiate with the rich, haunting beauty of Italy – from the Italo-Albanese hill towns in Sicily and Calabria to the little-known canals of Milano. The work of Dick Arentz has been widely exhibited internationally, and is included in such important museum collections as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C.; and Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal. Italy Through Another Lens is limited to 1,000 casebound copies, and opens with an introduction by Lucia Gillard.

Question: For the past few years, the first New Year’s Baby born in El Paso has received gifts from one of the El Paso societies.
It has actually gotten pretty competitive with a number of OB doctors intentionally scheduling New Year’s Eve Cesarean Section deliveries in order to help their patients get the prize.
However, this seems both unnatural and unfair. With an elective or scheduled repeat C/S as an option in order to win this contest, it makes it almost impossible for a patient who is trying for a natural vaginal delivery and has been laboring for hours or for days to possibly win. A C/S delivery planned out and timed for delivery can take as little as 15 minutes to perform, while a vaginal delivery can take days.
I had actually agreed to participate not thinking that it had a negative impact, but I am sincerely reconsidering. I have started to get a lot of negative comments about the contest.
As a doctor who strongly supports a woman’s right to have a vaginal delivery, especially in cases of previous C/S (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section), I worry that I am sending out the wrong message to take the easy way out and have a C/S in order to win a contest, when the fairest way is to celebrate the delivery of the first baby born by vaginal delivery rather than by C/S.
What do you think? Should there only be one contest or should the first vaginally delivered baby be crowned the first New Year’s Baby of the Year?

Captain Marvel is one of the most-awaited movies of the year. It is going to be the first MCU film to feature a female superhero in the lead and it will also most likely hold some major clues as to what will go down in Avengers: Endgame. However, if you aren’t familiar with the comics and don’t have time to watch all twenty films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before the film releases on the 8th of March, you can simply see these films for a more than sufficient background to follow what happens in Captain Marvel.
Iron Man was the beginning of everything. S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to have ties with Captain Marvel and this film will give you an introduction to what the agency is. It also features the first appearances of Nick Fury and Phil Coulson who have important parts to play in Captain Marvel.
Besides being the first time that all our major heroes get together, The Avengers is the next in the series that gives us more detailed information about S.H.I.E.L.D. and how it operates.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy is perhaps the most important MCU film to see before Captain Marvel. This is where we learn about Krees. Captain Marvel is half-Kree and half-human, so this will give you some key information about her background while also showing a look of the space world we’ll get to see more of in Captain Marvel.
Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War was the first film that directly references Captain Marvel. Spoiler alert, Nick Fury is shown using a pager to contact her before getting dusted. This scene has been the focal point of many theories and it might also tie into any post-credits scene that might be in Captain Marvel.
Bonus: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
While not a film, the Marvel show delves into the story behind the Krees and Skrulls and why they are at war. The two species will be prominently featured in Captain Marvel, so if you want to know more, you can catch up on season five of the show.

The Illinois Supreme Court will hear arguments in more than a dozen cases later this month, when the justices will convene in Chicago for their September term.
The location change is the result of a $12.6 million renovation to the court’s building in Springfield that began in June and is expected to be complete in about a year.
It also marks what is believed to be the first time a full court term will be held outside of Springfield since the building opened there in 1908, according to a news release issued Wednesday by the Supreme Court.
The justices will hear arguments in 17 cases over a four-day period — Sept. 10, 11, 17 and 18 — in the Supreme Court Room on the 18th floor of the Michael A. Bilandic Building, 160 N. LaSalle Street.
Aside from the change in location, the court’s term will be business as usual.
Attorneys scheduled to appear before the court, however, will have to check in at the clerk’s satellite office on the 20th floor of the Bilandic building before riding down to the 18th floor for their arguments.
Arguments will begin at 9:30 a.m. each day. The justices will hear four cases on each Sept. 10, 11 and 17 and arguments in five cases on Sept. 18.
The court’s news release notes that attorneys slated to appear before the court must check in with the clerk’s office no later than 9:15 a.m., with the exception of attorneys in the final and fifth case on Sept. 18 who must check in by 10:15 a.m.
Out of the 17 cases slated for the court’s September term, 12 are civil in nature, four are criminal and one deals with a juvenile matter.
While the majority of the cases come from the First District, four of the 17 cases involve suits brought in the Fifth District, including one that was later consolidated with a trio of similar suits in Sangamon County.
That case – Roger Kanerva et al., etc. v. Malcolm Weems, etc., et al.—is also likely receive the most attention as it deals with the constitutionality of a new law that affects thousands of state retirees. The justices will hear arguments in this case on Sept. 18.
The law, which took effect July 1, requires retired state employees, judges and university workers to start paying premiums for their health insurance, something they previously did not have to do after serving for four to 20 years depending on their position.
The Supreme Court last year consolidated four suits over the new law, including one filed in Madison County by former Fifth District Appellate Court Justice Gordon Maag. The other suits were brought in Sangamon and Randolph counties.
The justices in April granted a motion for a direct appeal after Sangamon County Associate Judge Steve Nardulli dismissed the consolidated lawsuit, rejecting the plaintiffs’ claim that health insurance benefits are protected by the state Constitution’s Pension Protection Clause.
Besides this case, the justices will hear arguments over the following civil issues:
- The constitutionality of the Employee Classification Act, which lays out criteria for determining whether a person performing services for a construction contractor is an employee or an independent contractor. Rhonda Bartlow et al., etc., v. Joseph Costigan, etc. (Fifth District).
- A Madison County school district’s dispute with an area refinery and the state’s Pollution Control Board over tax revenue and whether it has the right to intervene in the matter. The Board of Education of Roxana Community Unit School District No. 1 v. The Pollution Control Board and WRB Refining LLC (Fourth District)
- How jury verdicts in dramshop actions involving the Illinois Insurance Guaranty Fund should be reduced. Roy Dean Rogers II et al., etc., v. Gani Imeri, Indv., etc. (Fifth District).
- Whether a business that spans multiple counties has to pay retail taxes based on the location of its headquarters or its sales office. Hartney Fuel Oil Company et al. v. Board of Trustees of the Village of Forest View, etc., et al. (Third District).
- If survivor pensions under the state’s Pension Act increase when the salary of the decedent’s position increases. Daniel Hooker, etc., et al., v. Retirement Board of the Firemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago (First District).
A full list of all 17 cases scheduled for arguments this month can be found at www.state.il.us/court

Ahmedabad: Opposition Congress today tore into Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi over his claims of development, saying the BJP stalwart is misguiding people.
The diatribe was led by Union ministers Aanad Sharma, Ajay Maken, AICC spokesperson Sandeep Dikshit among other Congress leaders, who spoke at as many as 10 rallies organised by the party in various parts of the state going to polls on December 13 and 17.
In a scathing attack on Modi in the same rally, Union Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation, Bharat Solanki termed Modi as "Nathuram Godse" and alleged that "under the BJP rule in Gandhi's Gujarat not truth but lies carry more currency".
Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiiyar had earlier called Modi 'paaniputra' countering the BJP's anointing of their leader as 'lahuputra'. Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia, a few days back, had referred to the Gujarat CM as a 'monkey'.
"When it comes to GDP growth, Gujarat is lagging behind states like Bihar, Odhisa and Chhattishgarh," said Union Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma while addressing a public meeting in Gandhinagar.
"Narendra Modi says Gujarat is most progressive, but if you have been to other states, Bihar, Odisha and Chattisgarh are much ahead," he said. Union Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Ajay Maken alleged at a rally at Himmatnagar in Sabarkantha district that the ruling BJP government was neck-deep in corruption in the name of development.
"Whatever development achieved so far was the result of collective efforts of people and particularly farmers of the state (Gujarat)," he said. Congress MP Jyoti Mirdha expressed concern over "uncontrolled corruption" by BJP in the state and appealed to the gathering to vote Congress to power.
In a rally at Gandhinagar, MP and AICC spokesperson Sandip Dikshit criticised Modi for his remarks on Union Minister Shashi Tharoor's wife Sunanda Pushkar. "Modi has lost the decency and crossed all the limits of falsehood," he said.
He alleged that Modi government was welcoming industrialists with garland and selling state electricity to other states. "Farmers in the state are ending their lives for not getting sufficient power," Solanki added.
Addressing another election campaign in Mehsana, Haryana minister Randeep Singh Surjewala alleged that Modi government was "exploiting" farmers. "Farmers in Haryana are in a better position than their Gujarat counterparts," he said.
