Seventeen-year-old Levi Jennings has mixed feelings about whether his peers would be up to making the most of a lower voting age, but he believes the opportunity would be worthwhile.
The Bethlehem College student from Tauranga is intent on a career in the primary sector, probably starting off as a farmer. He said he believes lowering the voting age could be a positive if voters put some thought into how they spend their vote, but he’s uncertain that will be the case.
“A lot of people just get influenced by their mates, or who they see in media who they may like the look or sound of,” Jennings said.
“On the other hand, by the time I was 17 I had paid $7000 in tax since I started working. There are policies that influence how I do my work that I would like to have a say in.”
But he also acknowledged he is probably not a typical 17-year-old in his thinking.
“Not a lot my age group are getting up in the morning, looking at the weather report, reading SunLive and Farmers Weekly, who are switched on to policies and what they mean.”
He said policies on health and safety, time off and taxation would all prompt him to want to have a say at the polling booth if the voting age was lowered.
Having studied agriculture at Bethlehem College, he is now off to Massey University to study agribusiness next year, buoyed by a $5000 Massey scholarship.
His longer term plans include building an agribusiness enterprise comprising farms, orchards and contracting businesses.
Across the Kaimai range, St Paul’s Collegiate agribusiness student Henry Crawford shares some of Jennings’ concerns about lowering the voting age.
The 17-year-old year 12 student from Auckland – who will be eligible to vote in the next election under the current age limit – spends holidays working on a relative’s farm at Te Akau, western Waikato.
“I am not sure that 16-year-olds are mature enough or have enough understanding of how the world works,” Crawford said. He would have voted under a lowered age limit, but “I suspect most would probably not take very much interest”.
The key motivators would be linked to his career plans to go farming.
“Big motivators right now are tax-related things, like the ute tax.”
His fellow school mate, 17-year-old Logan Spencer, a year 13 student, said he would definitely be keen to vote if he was given the opportunity. His decision to do so would be heavily influenced by his area of study, and career choice to be a farmer.
“I have been able to compare between National and Labour and their impacts on farming. We farm in the King Country and have seen the effect of pine forestry there,” Spencer said.
He sees this as the single largest policy related issue that would prompt him to vote.
However, he is conscious there could be a risk, namely that 16- and 17-year-old voters are more likely to be influenced by how their parents vote.
Cheyenne Wilson, the first chair of the Food and Fibre Youth Network, said the challenges rural youth face are worlds apart from those of urban youngsters, and the opportunity to vote and have an influence on things like driving licence conditions make it a worthwhile conversation to have.
“I think our young people are mature enough to make an informed decision on these things,” Wilson said.
She said there was always a risk the younger voters would be influenced by their parents’ views, regardless of where they live.
“But there are decisions being made out there today that will affect their farming careers.
“It is for this reason the [Council for the Food and Fibre Youth Network] submitted on He Waka Eke Noa, because otherwise rural youth did not have a voice on it.”


Torsional Flexible Maintenance-Free Vibration-Reduced Rotex-Type Universal Claw Coupling
As one of the jaw coupling manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters of mechanical products, We offer jaw coupling and many other products.
Please get in touch with us for details.
A jaw coupling consists of three parts: two metal hubs and an elastomer insert called an element, but often called a “spider.” The three sections are press-fitted together with the lower jaws of each hub, mounted alternately with the spider’s blades. Jaw coupling torque is transmitted through compressed elastomer blades.
These resilient claw coupling stars do not require lubrication and are resistant to oil, grease, moisture, and other contaminants; and also provide highly reliable service for light, medium, and heavy-duty torque transmission motor and internal combustion power transmission applications. Axial insertion, easy assembly, maintenance-free. Balance axial, radial, and angular misalignment. Rated torque from 17Nm to 3600Nm. Operating temperature from -40°C to +90°C. Applications include power transmission to industrial equipment such as pumps, gearboxes, compressors, blowers, mixers, and conveyors.
Features of Elastic Jaw Coupling Spider:
1. Easy to check and easy to maintain
2. Can absorb vibration, parallelism, angle, and axial deviation
3. The same clockwise and counterclockwise rational properties
4. The material at both ends is iron, and the middle is rubber material
5. Simple configuration, fixed screw type, low price
6. The hole can be processed by itself, which is convenient and fast
How to select and install jaw couplings
Claw couplings are popular for connecting large industrial machines such as pumps, blowers, compressors, and mixers in mechanical power transmission assemblies.
Claw couplings are designed to provide a high degree of flexibility. The star element between the toothed elements provides the ability to bend, which enables the jaw coupling to resist misalignment and absorb unexpected shock loads.
The fail-safe design of the claw coupling means that even after the star element fails, the coupling will continue to drive and transmit power.
When an element fails, the hubs in the jaw coupling interlock and continue to transmit power. Operators are alerted by the noise and can plan an orderly shutdown to replace couplings, but at the same time, their operations will not face any sudden interruptions. The ease of installation of the coupling and its longevity depends on proper shaft alignment.

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) recently issued a verdict directing police officials to charge Gutka sellers under Section 337A of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). On Tuesday, a two-member bench comprising Justice Salahuddin Panhwar and Justice Shamsuddin Abbasi sought details of mouth cancer patients and others affected by gutka consumption while hearing a petition against gutka sellers. Petitioner Naseem Haider’s counsel, advocate Muzzammil Mumtaz Mayo, argued that the police arrested gutka sellers but the magistrate declared the case bailable. The police should be directed to operate against gutka sellers, he said. JPMC Cancer Ward In-charge Dr Haider said that 100 out of 300 patients are suffering from mouth cancer. He told the court that mouth cancer was increasing among youngsters due to the consumption of gutka and mainpuri. “It is a serious issue if 70 per cent of the patients are suffering from mouth cancer. It is the reason why we have ordered that Section 337A be applied in cases pertaining to Gutka,” noted the bench. The court adjourned hearing till today (Wednesday).

The first in-person Quad Leader's Summit drew global attention for its symbolism and substance. A critical analysis of its outcome shows that the institutionalisation of the organisation has begun. India has a chance to work with the advanced economies, on an equal footing and with much to contribute.

On September 24, the Quad leaders will attend the first in-person summit of the grouping in Washington DC. There is much to discuss for the four leaders, given recent developments: the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, the Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) security partnership and the EU's new Indo-Pacific strategy. The Quad also needs to focus on long term goals like institutionalising itself and devising a strategy to counter the China challenge.
Sanctions are an important foreign policy tool, used especially by the West against its adversaries. Now, these rivals are retaliating with counter-sanctions. Are these effective? How does this impact global politics? Where does India stand in this free-for-all sanctions era?
For years, Western countries have used sanctions as a means of economic warfare against their adversaries. Now, China and Russia are utilising the same tactic against the West. The United Nations Security Council is paralysed by differences between the five permanent members, leaving the tools of unilateral sanctions and counter-sanctions to proliferate at the cost of UN-approved multilateral sanctions.
The India-EU summit held May 8, was more ambitious than previous ones. Now the summit’s words must turn into action, an effort that will require continuous discussion, patient negotiation and uninterrupted dialogue between Delhi and Brussels. Will the two capitals be willing to compromise and find common ground that they have not managed to demonstrate before?
This India-EU summit was different from the ones past, and India is a significant gainer. A trade agreement and connectivity partnership aside, the EU has stepped up to help India during this emergency, viewing it not as a weak state but as a partner in distress. The geopolitical indicators for an enhanced engagement are now also in place.
The EU’s Indo-Pacific strategy comes better late than never. But it has to step gingerly. It cannot antagonize China, wants to build on the legacy of its members’ colonial past, give the region the infrastructure it needs, and make the trade agreements that it wants. Is it achievable?
A new chief is due to occupy the chair of the UN Secretary General later this year. The lobbying for this prestigious global post has already begun. There is a rotation system that offers equal opportunities to regional blocs to promote their candidates. But this time, it's a toss between having the first woman to head the body, or continuing with the West-led bloc's candidate. Who will win? And where does India stand?
The U.K. is out of the EU, and re-positioning itself into the idea of Global Britain, seeking partnerships into diverse groupings and regions. India was an early strategic, defence and digital outreach, but a serious pivot has been made to broader Asia for trade and investment linkages, with vigorous follow-up. The re-entry and acceptance of Britain in Asia, has implications.
A yawning gap has opened up between what countries know about the risks of climate change and what they are doing to reduce them. In the riskier new era of climate change, the longer countries take to close that gap, the more painful and deadly the outcomes.

Today U.S. Congressman Dean Heller (R-NV) made the following statement on the vote to require the House Budget Committee to set non-security budget allocation levels for the remainder of FY 2011 at FY 2008 spending levels or less (H.Res. 38).
"This government has been on a massive spending spree over the last four years and it is time for this reckless behavior to end. As an opponent of the stimulus and the only member of the Nevada delegation to vote against the bailout, I believe it is critical to rein in spending. It is time to control spending, address the yearly deficits, and get government debt under control," said Heller.
According to Congressional Budget Office, the U.S. will spend $800 billion on yearly interest payments by 2020 if federal spending is not addressed.

For many years humanity has done many things supposedly in service to God. Violence to others and violence to themselves, spiritually and physically. Am I an authority on God, do I have 3 or 4 doctorates, no. Then what am I? A manifestation of God's energy, vibration and love on this Earth. What I have learned is that this force, this awareness, God, Jesus, Brahma, Atman, Christ, or whatever name that you chose has always been about love, joy and creation. There is suffering, no doubt and it is some of those moments of deep suffering and darkness that bring us to reality. Along with hopefully, understanding and closeness to God and other human beings. We come to peace and acceptance of what is.
What is may be on your mind sometimes. There is life and all that it means or doesn't mean to you and then the body goes back to where it came from and the energy goes on. We are very much loved and the compassion of God or whatever you call this force is intimate and overwhelming. Your suffering is known and felt.
If you are a father or mother, and your child suffers you feel that pain and there is sorrow. Do we really think that disfiguring the creations of pure joy and light that we are will please God or Brahma ? Destroying the sustaining Earth Mother created for us is pleasing? Our bodies are the Temple of the living God or energy, given as a gift to create, play and be joyful in. Should not the giver and the gift both be appreciated. Many have done terrible things to themselves , self abuse , starving, whipping, piercing themselves with nails. This is not pleasing. Isn't there suffering enough for everyone already? No matter what our position , location , or material wealth all will suffer and eventually move on. Are not ALL the children of the Divine beautiful ? Stop the violence to each other and ourselves.
So what is the best service to God, I tell you common sense. Take care of your health ,his/her temple, take care of your spirit, learn about this wonderful planet and her people. All are our family from the same tree of life. Why do I say take care of yourself, others would say forget yourself. No, wrong. When we are physically healthy, mentally sound, and spiritually fit we only serve the spirit better. There is a place for suffering, but let the Universe decide, until then rejoice, create, dance,sing, love.
Forget the selfish ego ( not your health and well-being) which is in service only to self, but remember the spirit, nourish it in yourself and then strong emerge victorious to serve others.
It is known that all is Maya or illusion , but even there serve the higher. All in reality is only God or Krishna or Buddha or Brahma or Christ or Allah manifesting to itself, but respect and enjoy the gift of life as was meant, don't dishonor the gift or the giver. Be joyful, create and dance and play blissfully with the spirit.. Love and Peace, Namaste, Delphine

text: Zothecula writes Weather forecasting is a notoriously inexact science. According to San Francisco-based tech startup Spire, this is partially because there are currently less than 20 satellites responsible for gathering all of the world's weather data – what's more, some of the older ones are using outdated technology. Spire's solution? Establish a linked network of over 100 shoebox-sized CubeSats, that will use GPS technology to gather 100 times the amount of weather data than is currently possible. The first 20 of those satellites are scheduled to launch later this year.

One of the largest chains of food supermarkets “SILPO” in the city of Odessa contacted our company TM “OSTA” – with a very interesting problem so that their rokly and carts could move without noise, i.e. QUIET. Since the supermarket “SILPO” is located in a multi-storey residential building. And we offered them this solution in the form of a module-plate “Spider” smooth with sealing of seams (soldering). It is a self-service supermarket, the range of which includes up to 20,000 items of food and related products.
The management of the SILPO Company was purchased and, with the help of our specialists, was installed and soldered in the warehouse – 135 square meters of modular floors of TM “OSTA”. The customer was very pleased with the solution to this problem with the help of the “Smooth” module-plate in the “Spider” version, reinforced.
Thanks to the design of locks on each side of the TM “OSTA” modular slab, the floor is mounted quickly, without the use of special tools and materials. Upon completion of installation, the coating is ready for use. It is not required to stop other work in the room for installation of the coating, which saves you time and money !!!! Requires minimal preparation of the substrate: the coating can be mounted over any even and solid surface. Can be laid on non-horizontal surfaces such as an entrance ramp.
Modern modular slabs of TM “OSTA” are floor coverings of increased wear resistance, made of modern materials and using the latest technologies.


It's been over a year since Google launched Stadia, and since then the cloud gaming service has continued releasing new features and rolling out to more countries. Last month, we heard that Stadia might be coming to Apple devices, and now that moment has arrived — although you won't find it via the App Store.
Well, technically the Stadia app is on Apple's App Store, but it's only for managing your account. Due to Apple's current (somewhat ridiculous) stance on cloud gaming services, bringing Stadia's main functionality via traditional methods is unfeasible — which is why Google had to get a little creative. The company is bringing support for playing games on Stadia to the mobile web, so Apple users will be able to pull up stadia.com in Safari to start gaming on the go.
The web app can be added to your iOS home screen for easy access.
While playing titles like Assassin's Creed and Cyberpunk 2077 on small phone screens may not be the optimal experience, it will be handy to have the option on iPads. And despite only being a web app, you can still connect the Stadia controller, since it works via a direct web link to Google's game-streaming servers. Certain third-party Bluetooth controllers are supported, too, like the DualShock 4 and Xbox One pads. If your controller of choice requires a wired connection, you're out of luck for now.
Porting the Stadia web app to iOS was a super fun project, and we're really happy with how it turned out. Here's a video I recorded a few months ago demonstrating we could deliver the complete Stadia experience on Safari, even for an extremely timing-sensitive game like Thumper. pic.twitter.com/TNJEdGTwPF
— Justin Uberti (@juberti) December 16, 2020
After an admittedly slow start, Stadia's momentum might finally be poised to start moving for real. Earlier this month, Google started delivering the ability for users to livestream their gaming sessions on YouTube, which should help get more eyes on Stadia. A lot of people took Google up on its Cyberpunk 2077 promotion, and a number of new Ubisoft titles are now available through Ubisoft+ on Stadia as well. Today's news will only serve to increase the number of players trying out cloud gaming themselves — and maybe Tim Cook will be able to test it for himself and realize that Apple's current requirements need fixing.

Maybe Bradford and other places in Yorkshire (Leeds for example), Manchester has one large multicultural area as does Birmingham.
I'm not taking any side, just saying that you need to realise London and Kent are not the only places in the UK.
-- I should add I don't think it's representative of 99% of the UK either, but it's slightly bigger than a few streets.
I live in Leeds, Beeston, the most populated area for Muslims in Leeds and I see no "Muslim England"
All I see is a Corrupted, Propaganda driven Britain, hell bent on destroying the image of Muslims to justify their atrocities in other countries and
keep the dumb subdued and distracted from the real issues.
I have mates in Bradford and have lived there for a short while due to work and would honestly say more than 80% of the none Muslim population would
tell you that it isn't how the media are portraying them areas. I'm guessing the % obviously, but it's not like I talk about football or porn, in
person i speak about this # constantly. For an example of how much Bradford is untied just look at the recent polls there with the Respect party that
George Galloway is fronting, the proofs in the pudding mate.
On a slightly off topic subject it annoys me how Halal meat has randomly become a subject of conversation lately, people popping out of the woodwork
with their racist opinions. But they only have opinions because the media are giving them one. An example would be the recent story about Subway who
stopped selling bacon and started serving Halal meat. What Subway did was integrate their business model to suit the consumer basis, nothing more &
nothing less. Yet the media are saying that "Muslims make Subway take bacon off the shelves" - So due to the majority of the public's blind faith
in our media outlets, they have taken it as gospel and started to boycott Subway. . . Sorry but this is just #ing insane. Rational thinking has been
replaced with "THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK"
Like anything, come to the place before coming to the complete acceptance to what the high paid, agenda driven, white collared, higher class, probably
an ass hole journal who is only pen pushing what their companies sponsors are telling them to.
There's 1.3 billion Muslims on planet earth, just like Christianity, Sikhism, Jews, Jedi's, Buddhist - There might be a few hundred thousand/million
+ proper ass holes who give their religion a bad image, but that doesn't justify categorizing the whole 1.3 billion. . . Which is what the media and
now public are doing.
I wont deny that some parts of Islam law is #ed up, but when people are saying that Muslims are enforcing their ways upon us and then been a total
hypocrite and saying that halal meat and the Burka, as an example, should be banned, that's just absolute hypocrisy at its finest. We keep our laws,
they keep their culture, if they can not adapt then leave - Everybody is happy. The recent media attention to halal meat, burkas, sharia law or what
ever is just a distraction and people are lapping it up, it's not a real #ing matter.
On a final note, I feel safer walking near woman in a Burka, eating a Kebab, than walking near a Police Officer.

Phoenix Laser Solutions just completed a project repairing an extremely high-value nuclear motor shaft. The shaft had been damaged during manufacturing, and needed the smaller outer diameter cladded with weld. Phoenix Laser was able to weld and repair this shaft in less than a week, much faster than other processes, and with much less machining time. Laser Welding is uniquely useful for the nuclear industry, because of it’s low heat input, and material hardness matching capabilities.

Watch the music video for the “Toronto Cypher” song with TwoTiime, Charmaine, Portion, YTN Paco & Velow.
Montreality is putting on for Canada. Though they’ve turned into a staple for hip-hop and R&B interviews, they recently began unveiling cyphers as part of a new series that highlights talents across Canada. The first edition included two cyphers from rappers out of Montreal, both English and French. Those that never looked at Montreality as a hotbed for hip-hop talent were quickly put on notice.
This week, Montreality unveiled the latest in their freestyle series highlighting a few of the best new acts to come out of Ontario, predominantly Toronto. Artists like Portion, Velow, YTN Paco, and Juno award-winning Charmaine hold it down for the 6ix while TwoTiime puts on for Ottawa.
I just killed the cypher
Shots like Pfizer, there’s no one like her
I’m shittin’ on ’em like diaper
How my first year hear wrap you career, riddle me that
How I’m 5-0 but I Fe-Fi-Fo on the track

“Is there a weasel race tomorrow?” “Oh my, I hope so.”
Read my reviews of issue #1 and issue #2.
The story so far: “In the legendary city of Baldur’s Gate, a young moon elf (and wild mage) named Delina teams with the newly revived ranger Minsc; his hamster, Boo; and thieves Krydle and Shandie. To find Delina’s missing brother, Krydle makes a deal with The Fetcher – in exchange for the brother’s location. Krydle must deliver a letter to a member of the Parliament of Peers. Learning the Peer in question is his old friend (and Krydle’s father) Coran, Minsc leaps into action – and hijinks are about to ensue…”
“A knockdown brawl at a noble party, a frantic chase along the rooftops, kidnapping, extortion, and monsters aplenty… Yup, just another day in Baldur’s Gate.”
First, I want to mention how much I love these covers; they’re absolutely wonderfully detailed and contain so much expression. I’m pretty much in love with all the art in this – the characters are consistent, and the world is very colorful and detailed. There’s a large panel early on with a two-page spread of a mansion party, and it’s astoundingly composed, with small details everywhere. The very first panel shows how BIG Minsc is compared to everyone around him, which is especially striking when he’s indoors. When the characters are little sprites on your screen, it’s sometimes hard to imagine how imposing someone like Minsc must be.
Our introduction to Coran, a party member in Baldur’s Gate, is through the eyes of his son, who is disgusted with his father’s ties to the nobles. He’s gotten a bit of a makeover between the game and the comic, but he’s instantly recognizable because of his green facepaint. There’s a lot of really funny lines in this one; I like the humorous, adventuresome tone this series is taking overall. It’s not taking itself too seriously, which is delightful. There’s a really cool, action-packed fight scene in this issue, with arrows, spells, fists, and swords flying everywhere. I also think there’s some great small moments/world-building going on, like having the guards not be superhuman and one goon snapping at another when he tries to tell him how the Sleep spell works.
The comic AGAIN ends on a great cliffhanger – when is issue #4?!
A technical note – I had been reading all my digital comics on an iPad 2, and I’ve now moved to a Kindle Fire. They still look amazing, even on the smaller screen.

As many as a dozen people were rescued and up to 35 vehicles were left stranded in flood waters during after heavy storm rain pounded the Las Vegas Valley on Friday, according to the Las Vegas Fire Department.
Last night, we responded to 24 swift water rescue events including:
· 30-35 vehicles stranded in water
· 10 – 12 people rescued from standing or moving water
Learn how we train for these situations:https://t.co/rcQZ5E7yaQ

The department responded to 24 “swift water” rescue events Friday evening with 10 to 12 people freed from standing or moving water and from 30 to 35 vehicles left behind due to heavy flooding, but no reports of any deaths, the department reported on the social media venue X.
Clark County officials announced several street closures due to high water levels including Gilespie Street and Maulding Avenue near Warm Springs Road, east of Las Vegas Boulevard, Jones Boulevard and Pyle Avenue south of Blue Diamond Road, and Ranch Road by the Warm Springs loop in Moapa.
A flash flood watch is in effect through midnight in our area. Flash flooding of area streets and trails is possible. The public is reminded to never drive through flooded roadways or around barricades. It can be difficult to determine how deep floodwaters are and floodwaters can… https://t.co/krJzk9IyeP
— Clark County Nevada (@ClarkCountyNV) September 2, 2023
Many people posted videos on social media of fast-running flood waters moving on streets through or near their neighborhoods, including Terry Lively who posted this night view of a flood channel next to Washington Avenue, and others who tweeted about huge amounts of downpour-fed waters flowing from beneath the The Linq on the Strip.

Meanwhile, yet another round of thunderstorms are in store for the Las Vegas Valley, dropping rain for several hours in the afternoon Saturday and a flash flood watch is still in effect through midnight tonight, the National Weather Service reported.
The thunderstorms are expected to last from noon to 4 p.m., with a 40 to 70 percent chance of heavy rain, dropping to a 20 percent chance of heavy precipitation tonight and a “slight chance” of storms on Sunday, according to the weather service.
Temperatures are predicted to reach 87 degrees Fahrenheit with late afternoon partly sunny skies Saturday, then 74 overnight, 92 and 68 on a cloudy and windy Sunday and returning to sunny skies on Labor Day with a high of 88 degrees and a low of 70.
The weather service’s flash flood watch is less serious than a flash flood warning but still means be ready for road flooding, heavy thunderstorms and debris and rocks on the roadways.
The valley received a break in the rain for most of Saturday morning as no precipitation was detected in virtually all rainfall gauges aside from an almost imperceptible 0.04 inch recorded from 4:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. in a handful of places including Summerlin South, the Flamingo Wash at Eastern Avenue and Boulder City, the Regional Flood Control District reported.

Whatever your feelings about Las Vegas, there’s no denying it’s close to some spectacular natural wonders. Today, Adriana takes us on a virtual tour of the American Southwest.
Back in March, I had the opportunity to check a few more destinations off my bucket list, when my husband had to attend a conference in Las Vegas, USA. Of course, I wanted to join him, as I had a great desire to visit that region of the United States.
I found Las Vegas mesmerizing with its grandeur, colors, and lights. One of my favourite things was the discipline at the airport. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an airport, in all my travels, that was better organized than Las Vegas. Outside, you wait in a civilized line for a taxi. There are sixteen marked stops, just outside the airport door, and a taxi pulls in roughly every fifteen seconds, around the clock. An airport employee guides you to your stop and off you go.
Another highlight was the cleanliness and ease of moving in such a busy city. I am very meticulous about cleanliness so I notice trashy places, but that wasn’t the case in Vegas. The Strip looks impeccable, considering the huge number of people walking and driving it every single day. Coming from Europe, where finding parking can be a nightmare and costly, I was impressed with the availability of free parking in Las Vegas.
Of course, there were things I downright hated. The street hecklers, trying to sell hubby and me prostitutes, were extremely annoying. Every five steps there was one in your face with little cards. I get it, it’s their job, but it’s annoying.
The second thing I hated was the constant smell of smoke in the casinos. I had planned to gamble a small amount of money, just for fun, but it was impossible to stay inside. Being a non-smoker the smell was extremely irritating.
For me, this trip turned far better once we left the Las Vegas area. After the conference was over, we extended our stay to visit some of the incredible places the desert has to offer.
Our first stop was Red Rock Canyon, thirty minutes from Las Vegas. For $7, you can drive one of the most scenic roads around the canyon, with the possibility of stopping and hiking whenever you want. The roads is one way, so just pull over or park in one of the designated lots and enjoy the great views and hikes the canyon has to offer. The red rocks are mesmerizing and, with the sunlight upon them, they look like they are on fire.
We also stopped at Hoover Dam, forty minutes from Las Vegas, as it was a long time wish. I could not believe I was walking on it. I knew Hoover Dam was big, but being there, you realize just how enormous it is.
While at Hoover Dam, not only you can be in two states at the same time, Nevada and Arizona, but you can also be in two time zones. I had a foot at 3pm and one at 4pm; a fun first for me.
Next, we drove two hours into California, to the Death Valley National Park; a long-time dream.
March is the perfect time to visit as the weather, although hot, is also breezy and pleasant. We drove around the park, seeing the Salt Flats, the Devil’s Golf Course, the Devil’s Corn Field, and the Mesquite Sand Dunes. Although it’s called Death Valley, I found it full of life and color. Driving around the sandstone rock formations and seeing all the colors is incredible. Along the road, varieties of flowers bloom in spring. They contrast with the bright green mesquite and the sand dunes, creating a beautiful scene.
After Death Valley, we were off to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon. This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. As with Hoover Dam, you see it on TV and think, “wow that’s big.” However, when you are facing it, you remain speechless.
It’s fairly busy, as you can imagine, but it’s organized so everyone has space to have a view and take photos. My favorite thing at the Grand Canyon was the spectacular sunset we witnessed at Desert View Watchtower. I will never forget that moment.
Our last stop in Arizona was Page. I’ll be honest, it’s a one-horse town, but Page has some of most scenic places nearby. We spent a night there, as I wanted to see both Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. Another major attraction is Lake Powell and, because I could not stay and explore it, I vowed to return. It’s worth the trip!
We arrived in Page late. The only open restaurant, besides fast food, was a little Mexican restaurant called El Tapatio. All the tables are handmade and so colorful and fun. They have a very warm and welcoming staff. They’ll supply you with unlimited servings of free salsa, chips and absolutely delicious cabbage slaw salsa that is a house invention. Be sure to ask for it, if it’s not already on the table. Service is fast, the plates are huge, prices are cheap, and the food to die for. Do yourself a big favor and try the tacos de buche (pork stomach tacos). It may sound weird but it’s oh so good.
Horseshoe Bend is seven minutes away from the center of Page and, although the road has a “do not pass” sign, due to repairs, go ahead and pass as you will only be on it for 2 minutes. There is a sign and a parking lot where you can leave your car and then hike the rest of the way. It’s about a quarter mile through the fine desert sand. If you go early in the morning, as we did, few people, mostly photographers, will be there. Later, it gradually becomes busier. Horseshoe Bend is beautiful; a place I admired in photos for a long time. I feel extremely lucky to have seen it in person.
Antelope Canyon was wonderful; although I wish I had done my homework and booked a photo tour. The visitor tour is crowded, only one hour long and stopping with a tripod for photos is not permitted.
The Navajo people guide the tours every hour and they cost $45 per person. You board a jeep, able to travel over sand, and in ten minutes you are at the entrance in the canyon. Attempting to do this alone is forbidden and very dangerous, as there is always a risk of a flash flood.
Inside, although crowded, it is beautiful. The orange, smooth curves of the canyon are almost sexy. I could not believe I was actually there.
The tour takes you from one side of the canyon to the other and back. Unfortunately, we only had time to see the Upper Antelope Canyon. On the way back, we stopped to admire Lake Powell from a high viewpoint. Even though we were far away, it looked incredible, with the blue water and sky contrasting with the orange/red sandstone. The road back to Vegas took us into Utah so it was also a scenic drive back.
As you can see, this trip, to the Las Vegas area, kept me in a constant state of awe and happiness. We managed to turn a boring conference trip into a wonderful desert adventure.

Families of victims fear budget cuts could hurt cold case units
HARTFORD - The family of Branford arson murder victim Kathy Hardy was hopeful that her slaying would soon be solved when the investigation went to the state's cold case unit.
Her father, Robert Barrett of Clinton, said family members met with the unit last year, but to date, no progress is being made.
"She died in an inferno, and that nightmare will never go away," Barrett said. "Her young children are haunted by this."
The family spoke out Wednesday to say they believe the cold case unit isn't being adequately funded or staffed, so cases like Hardy's aren't being solved.
State Victim Advocate Michelle Cruz hosted a press conference at the state Capitol regarding Governor Dannel Malloy's proposed budget for the Division of Criminal Justice. Hardy's relatives spoke at the event. According to Cruz, inadequate funding in the budget plan will mean inadequate staffing to investigate cold cases.
"We are here to voice our concerns," Cruz said. "The cold case unit provides an invaluable service and is very cost effective. When a cold case goes to the unit, it is a new set of eyes, which is imperative to solving these cases."
"Unless the Division has the ability to fully staff the cold case unit, the reality for the surviving family members and friends is that the case of their loved one will forever remain cold," Cruz said.
Dawn Luddy of Watertown, Hardy's sister, said if the people responsible for cold cases like her sister's aren't caught, they could remain at large and potentially harm others.
Kathy Hardy was murdered March 7, 2006 in an arson fire at her Little Bay Lane home in Branford. Her family announced last year that the cold case unit had agreed to look at the case.
Robert Barrett said if there isn't enough funding for the cold case unit, "It will be a banner day for criminals in Connecticut."
Elizabeth Barrett, Hardy's mother, said "When you lose a child, it never ends. People think you'll get on with your life, but it isn't true."
The family also sent letters to lawmakers to ask them to make sure there is adequate funding for the cold case unit.
While the family expressed fears the cold case unit will be no longer, Mark Dupuis, communications officer for the Division of Criminal Justice, said the unit is still in place.
"It is not disbanded," Dupuis said. "I walked by them this morning."
Michael Lawlor, under secretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning Office of Policy and Management, said Wednesday the Chief State's Attorney has reallocated some personnel and resources to focus on recent shootings in Hartford and several other cities.
"They have already achieved significant results, largely by solving recent 'cold cases' in those cities and removing some extremely violent, high risk individuals from neighborhoods plagued by these shootings. This strategy is saving lives, and we support it. In the meantime, we have been assured that the cold case unit will remain active on all cases it has been investigating."
Cruz said she wanted to generate discussion about the impact of the governor's budget plan.
"We want to see these cases become priorities again," Cruz said. "Let's have a robust cold case unit and solve these cases. Kathy Hardy represents just one of hundreds of cold cases in Connecticut," Cruz said. "Each cold case victim has family, friends, and loved ones waiting for justice."
Malloy, who didn't attend the press conference, noted afterward that the state police recently formed a team to focus on missing person cases, and some of the state's cold cases are missing individuals.
"There is a level of overlap," Malloy said. "Obviously, any case that is open deserves attention."
Chief State's Attorney Kevin Kane could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
The state's cold case unit operates under the Office of the Chief State's Attorney, and it was established in May of 1998 to focus on long-unsolved cases. In 2009, a second unit was established to focus on cases in southeastern Connecticut. The units include investigators from the chief state's attorney's office and state and municipal police.
According to the state Division of Criminal Justice's web site, the program has resulted in convictions in more than a dozen previously unsolved homicides.
The cold case unit was involved in the investigation into the 1973 murder of Concetta "Penny" Serra in a New Haven parking garage, for example. Investigators were able to secure a conviction in 2002 against Edward Grant, who was connected to the crime through DNA analysis.

Council chiefs are taking their fight to save Salford magistrates court to the government.
Town hall bosses will be at the Ministry of Justice today arguing against the closure of the Bexley Square court.
The government says the Grade-II listed building, off Chapel Street, isn’t busy enough.
All cases would be moved to the nearby Manchester Civil Justice Centre, creating the largest magistrates court in England.
But Salford council will tell courts minister Jonathan Djanogly that the plans are based on out-of-date figures.
And they say they have alternative plans which would be cheaper.
Council bosses also claim their proposals are backed by the local community, magistrates and probation and youth offending services.
They want to spend around £4m repairing the building with all hearings being held in one section. This would allow other parts of the building to be rented out, generating income.
Deputy council leader Dave Lancaster said: "This is not just us saying we want to keep a 1,000-year-old tradition or that we don’t want to become the only city in the country without its own magistrates court.
"We are saying keeping the court in Salford is better for the administration of local justice and better for the taxpayer’s purse." The council say there has been a court in the city for more than 1,000 years and claim it is busier than ‘90 per cent of the other courts on the at risk list’.
Parts of the building, which used to be Salford town hall, date from 1825 and are in urgent need of modernisation. Previous plans for a new court building in Eccles were scrapped by then Home Secretary Jack Straw.
Coun Lancaster said: "In the current economic climate, we can’t realistically expect a new court building and this is the next best option for the city."
In June the government announced plans to close 103 magistrates courts and 54 country courts in England and Wales.
Rochdale magistrates court and Bury County Court are also under threat.

Tooth Loss and Root Canal Infection
If a root canal infection occurs, your dentist may recommend root canal therapy. This procedure removes infected tissues and restores the health of the tooth. While saving natural teeth is always preferred, there may be times when root canal therapy is not sufficient. In these instances, an extraction may be recommended.
At Dr. James Altomare’s practice serving Skillman, NJ, Montgomery, NJ, Princeton, NJ, and surrounding areas, we offer a wide range of restorative treatments. In this blog post, we explore the link between tooth loss and root canal infection in a little more detail. Finally, we discuss some of the most common teeth replacement options.
What Is a Root Canal Infection?
A root canal infection occurs when bacteria breach the pulp of a tooth. This bacterial invasion may be due to decay, trauma, large fillings, cracks, or chips.
Individuals who develop a root canal infection may experience severe discomfort, sensitivity, swelling, or drainage. The tooth may also become discolored. In some cases, patients may not notice any symptoms. That is why routine exams are so essential. Your dentist can detect any issues before they worsen.
What about Root Canal Therapy?
If the affected tooth has a good long term prognosis, root canal therapy can be performed to eliminate active infection. During this procedure, Dr. Altomare removes the infected nerves, blood vessels, and tissues from the canals and pulp chamber, cleans and disinfects the surfaces, then fills the tooth with a biocompatible material.
While root canal therapy has an impressive success rate of up to 98 percent, it may not be the best option in some cases. For example, there are times when your dentist may recommend an extraction instead of root canal treatment.
When Is an Extraction Recommended?
If a tooth is too weak, decayed, or damaged, then an extraction may be the most predictable longterm option. During a consultation at our practice, Dr. Altomare will visually assess the tooth and take x-rays to determine the extent of damage.
Next, he will talk with you about all of your treatment options, as well as risks and benefits of each. If it is agreed that an extraction is the most appropriate solution, then our team will talk with you about your replacement options.
Teeth Replacement Options
Whenever a tooth is extracted, it should be replaced in a timely manner. This helps ensure that the bite stays the same and that the teeth do not shift. Dr. Altomare offers a number of teeth replacement options at our practice, including:
- Dental implants: These small titanium posts are placed directly in the jawbone. Implants restore missing teeth roots. Once healed, crowns, bridges, or dentures can be attached to restore the health, appearance, and function of your smile.
- Bridges: Consecutive tooth loss leaves a large gap in your smile. A dental bridge is a custom restoration consisting of two dental crowns with prosthetic teeth between them. When bonded into place, bridges complete your bite.
- Full and partial dentures: Severe tooth loss makes chewing and speaking difficult. Dr. Altomare can create partial or full dentures, depending on your specific needs.
Schedule an Appointment Today
If you are experiencing tooth pain, or if you have recently had a tooth extracted due to infection, book an appointment with Dr. Altomare to explore your treatment options. Contact us online anytime or give our office a call at (609) 921-1020.

Top New Motorcycles Offers Electric motorcycles In Pawling
Electric motorcycles and scooters would be the perfect vehicle if you do not wish to deal with dealing with all the normal inconveniences of owning one. You can ride around like a regular motorbike, but with much better handling and less pollution given that there is no internal combustion involved. Electric motorcycles can be found in various designs to fit any person’s needs. Shop at Top New Motorcycles and get your next electrical motorbike with totally free delivery now. Let’s have a look at what is available:
The very best electrical scooters and motorbikes are electrical plug-in vehicles with three or more wheels. The power is kept onboard in a rechargeable electric battery, which then drives either several electrical motor wheels. Electric motorcycles have a smooth step through style. This makes it simpler for riders to get up steep hills or increase their top speed. The motor is placed under a seat, making it easy to save when not in use.
There are a number of producers of electric motorcycles and scooters. Yamaha is most likely best understood for its effective, but trustworthy, models. Some of the more popular models of electric motorcycles are the Yamaha Motosport GT, the Yamaha Zuma, and the Yamaha Zuma 250cc. The scooter section of the Yamaha business also produces a variety of high-performance bikes. The top speed is limited at about 55mph for a lot of models.
Electric motorcycles or electric motorcycles have various features, consisting of variable valve timing, air bags, front & rear shocks, electronic gearshifts, front & rear shocks with variable compression damping, and some models include ABS. Electric bikes have numerous advantages over other types of gas-powered vehicles. They are very quiet, have much better velocity, much better fuel mileage than gas-powered cars and trucks, and they are easy to ride. For individuals who are just entering the sport, the first thing they require to do is decide how far they wish to opt for their bike. For those who are looking for a method to get off the beaten path and who intend on riding in off-road situations, electric motorcycles are the way to go.
Because of the growing popularity of electric motorcycles, sales of gas-powered vehicles have actually remained in decrease. This trend has actually motivated business that make electrical bikes to manufacture two-wheelers particularly for the bicycle riders market. One kind of electrical bicycle is the cruiser, which is meant for leisurely rides through city areas. It is different from an exploring design due to the fact that it does not bring a rider. Another kind of electrical bikes is the zero-emission bike, which uses electrical motors to generate power instead of fuel. Exploring bikes, on the other hand, use the exhaust fumes from a motorized engine to power the pedals.
While there are numerous producers of two-wheeled electric motorcycles worldwide today, two-wheeled cruiser models stay reasonably pricey. Nevertheless, the steep cost of these motorcycles, integrated with the reality that they do not require a rider, has actually made them the very best electric motorcycles for individuals who want to travel around town, but who do not like the prospect of riding fast. The average speed of such a vehicle has to do with twenty miles per hour, and they can reach accelerate to forty miles per hour. In general, the very best electric motorcycles are those that accelerate to more than thirty miles per hour, although this can depend on the design.
Electric motorcycles are much lighter than conventional gas-powered bikes. This makes them simpler to manage and more convenient for riders. Although they do not use fuel to power their motors, they still produce a bit of pollution. The main factor for this is that they have less moving parts, making them less most likely to block.
When shopping for the very best electric motorcycles, it is a great concept to try to find one that is not only excellent looking, but also that is very easy to look after. In general, it is a great concept to try to find two-wheeled devices as these are simpler to manage when you require to manage your speed. Two-wheelers can be ridden almost anywhere, although riders require to be mindful in tight city areas. A great deal of electrical motorcycles have actually been understood to break down on the open roadway, so riders should make sure that their bike will have the ability to stand up to the wear and tear of city travel. Purchasing an electric motorbike doesn’t need to be tough when you shop at Top New Motorcycles.

Love Letter to my Brides & whoever is in need of reclaiming their spirit.
How are you doing today? It’s Saira from Breath of Henna and I wanted to see how you were doing in the midst of planning your special day. I have merged together words of welcoming a new season; an awakening to self care with a LOVE LETTER for you. I hope these words help diffuse the unsettling noise in your mind and help you enjoy the days to come.
You are human. You have every right to feel overwhelmed while reading the news and trying to maintain your strengths in front of your loved ones. Uncertainties are circulating around our planet and as humans we must take this time to self reflect. Time is precious and we have oceans of it, along with blessings from the Universe. The following words of encouragement are for you because you too are in need of love, light and the sound of laughter.
I am sharing this with you because I too was a Bride (9 months ago) and wedding trauma is real. My letter here is to simply share some daily practices of mindfulness as your beautiful love story blossoms into its next chapter; your marriage day. You are not alone. We are here, together, NOW more than ever to be vulnerable and share your life experiences and reflect. As your bridal journey commences from this day forward, write yourself a ‘love letter’ to rediscover yourself. Ask yourself these following questions while writing your Love Letter.
What is my name? Who am I? What do I love?
I’ve shed tears when allocating time to write down my favourite moments, this is the third embrace. Savour it.
Embrace your Reflection.
You may have been distant from your reflection. Self care is an essential part of your living and increases opportunities of happiness and willingness.
I too was feeling at a loss of words during my wedding preparations and everyone deterred my emotions with common stress and anxiety. Nothing was normal about my anxiety. I knew I had to carry the feelings of emptiness and financial burdens alone, but I still communicated my difficulties with my friends. I was alone on this path of physical and spiritual negligence and I had no idea what powers I had, let alone what they meant.
I want you to lean in close to your mirror and look at yourself closely.
I want you to write your dearest truths regarding your feelings about how these past two weeks have affected your wedding plans. Be selfish. Ownership of your emotions is an ability of strength that you share with your mind and spirit. Your heart will listen now because you have the power to hear it through. Remember, life brings forth changes and challenges, patience will follow through. You now have a community supporting you. Share this to your loved ones.
Sign off your LOVE LETTER with immense generosity to your heart, mind and soul. You have discovered a new form of healing through reflection and reason. Write, ‘Dear (your name), I am beautiful and I am grateful for the love in my life.’
Practice this daily and do not hesitate to look at yourself in the mirror. Do not disregard your feelings over tasks. While we practice social distancing, remember to share stories with your families, intergenerational conversations are some of my favourites. If you need any further wedding advice, please be sure to send me an email through my website. Share this with other Brides you know and please remember, you are not alone.
Sharing with you and your loved ones, the power of self reflection in times of need. May we all come out of social distancing with more patience, ease, community and healthier life practices. May you and your loved ones be at ease during this uncertain time while valuing connection and creativity.

Scientists from Temple University and the University of Nebraska Medical Center used a combination of CRISPR gene-editing technology and a therapeutic treatment called LASER ART to erase the HIV DNA from the genomes of living mice. This is an important step to potentially finding the cure for HIV in humans as well.
Dr. Kamel Khalili, study co-author, chair of the department of neuroscience and director of the Center for Neurovirology and the Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center at Temple University, said: “We think this study is a major breakthrough because it for the first time demonstrates after 40 years of the AIDS epidemic that the HIV disease is a curable disease.”
Approximately 1.1 million people in the United States alone live with HIV. If HIV isn’t properly treated, it turns into AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). People suffering from AIDS live on average three more years after being diagnosed with the illness.
Currently, the virus is treated using ART (antiretroviral therapy), which merely suppresses the virus from further replication, and doesn’t actually destroy it. This CRISPR Technology, on the other hand, destroys the virus completely.
Dr. Howard Gendelman, co-author, chair of UNMC’s pharmacology and experimental neuroscience department and director of the Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, said: “We’re going at the root cause. We’re going after the virus that’s already integrated with the genome of the host cell. Things that work in mice, may not work in men. The limitations of any mouse work have to do with the species, how the drug is administered, the distribution, which is a lot easier than a man or a woman. We are at the cusp of a scientific revolution in human genomes that can change the course, quality, and longevity of life.”
The researchers are planning to conduct a phase 1 clinical trial in humans by mid-2020, pending approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

Ben Hogan won four U.S. Opens in six years, three of them after a near-fatal head-on automobile collision. Driven by an obsessive dedication to the game, legend has it, he practiced until his hands bled. The concentration and precision he exhibited on the course awed spectators and fellow players alike. In this extraordinary book--the first full-scale biography of the enigmatic Hogan in twenty years--Curt Sampson explores the milestones of Hogan's life--his father's suicide, his miraculous comeback after his brush with death, his many triumphs on the Tour. Sampson draws on interviews with fellow golf legends Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus, and Sam Snead to present an in-depth portrait of a man with bullet-proof confidence and singlemindedness, a man who turned the negatives he encountered into a life of glory and achievement.

I try to make neat little piles so not everything is scattered, but I do have to admit that these ‘art bunnies’ do steal my joy because I am a bit of a clean freak.
A few weeks ago, I shared some inspiration pictures on my FB page of linen closets converted into craft areas and I hope to accomplish that in the weeks to come. But for now, I’m trying to make my artistic mess a little more appealing.
Enter my Antrho knockoff….
Anthropologie’s on the left and mine on the right. Notice that their coil varies in thickness. A thick and a thin one as well as the size of the color blocks are different. Not having seen them in person, I can only assume that the rows of rope were glued on individually, allowing them to vary the size as well as allowing them to achieve the checkered effect which mine do not have.
I was ok with the random pattern of my pots so I decided to do one long piece of rope (I guess I took the easier way out).
Hopefully these will one day be displayed in my own crafting space…..
Well my friends, at the beginning of this post I was hoping for a quick post but an hour later, I’m still here typing away. I should have known there is no such thing as a ‘quick post’ . I’m off to enjoy my family…
By the way, I have been replying to your messages via the reply thread on the blog itself. Does anyone know if these replies come right to your mail box or do you have to come back to the blog to see them? I would love to know because I want to make sure you get my messages…:)
Love those decorative cans.I also do not have a creative space.I am cleaning out a space in our home that will eventually hopefully soon be a space of my own.
These are just so lovely, would surely give it a try! thanks for sharing
I am LOVD says
Go ahead and test with me. I’ll let you know, Lu. I’ll check back on Monday since I know you’re with the fam this weekend:-) Love the Anthro knock-off!

These are so gorgeous! And your sketchbook is amazing…you are so talented!
Happy Family Day Long Weekend from Alberta!

Laura at Ms. Smartie Pants says
That is adorable, way to think outside the box!
Oh Lucy, what a fabulous job you’ve done! Bravo, my friend. As for me, I actually am a neat creative person, as contradictory as that sounds ☺. J x
Just gorgeous!! I love your tidy little pots and the winding of the yarn looks soo theraputic… I could do this!! I hope you get your creative space too.
Thanks so much for sharing these. I am always looking for ways to rein in my creative mess.
Donna@My Sweet Things says
I have two pots that are just blah and this awesome design is just what they need for a lovely splash of color. Thanks so much for sharing!
Nicolette @ Momnivore's Dilemma says
When you comment on my site, I do see them in my inbox. 🙂
Art bunnies are my existences, as well as toy bunnies. The kids recently gave my sofa a makeover with blue tempera paint. At least it wasn’t mommy’s acrylics…lol…
One day, my friend, we will both have studio spaces again. Although the island/dining room situation is working out quite well at the moment.
Love you little pots!!! I have quite a few that needs some love and this is perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Hmmm..I have been wondering about the reply thing myself. Let me know what you find out about this, please? I reply to comments made on my blog also, not sure if anyone see’s them.
I love this idea. I have a few…15-20 empty tin cans on hand waiting for a great project…I think I found it. Thanks! I always have to go back to the website to get the reply to my question or comment…it doesn’t come to my email.
Just Simply Live says
those are some awesome knock off’s. You rock!
The Mama @the Tinos says
Wow Lucy! So fun looking, And I’m so glad I’m not the only one without a proper crafting area. I have to use my washing machine as work space lol!
Jasanna Czellar says
super cute!!! And i love your little sketches. What all do you journal/sketch about? 🙂 so cute. I’d love to do things like that!!
Nat and Holly says
These are gorgeous! I have to say, I actually like your version better than the original 🙂 About the comments… I was wondering the same thing and I tested it out with another blogger account I have. I never received an email, so I am pretty sure the “reply” comments just stay on the blog and the person would have to check back to your original post to see them. I’ve decided to email my reply comments directly, unless they are a “no reply” blogger. Then I leave it on the blog. Thanks for all your beautiful projects and inspiration! I love your blog!!
I am LOVD says
Sending some love your way:
Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your blog. I just came across it today via Dear Lillie blog and LOVE it. Thanks for all the great tutorials and inspiration!

New Follower, so happy to have found you ! Love these!
Kris @ Driven by Décor says
Love it more than the Anthro version! It is just the thing to hold my pen/pencils on my desk – I’m going to give it a whirl!
I love this idea~care if I steal it to make a couple for myself? Even my daughter would love to do some of these in her favorite colors. Thanks for sharing.
I’m your newest follower~
Mrs. Handyverger says
I think I actually like these better than the similar ones from Anthro!
I ❤ your knock offs!!!!! So easy and such great results…I am off to find just the right container to make one of these! Did I say I ❤ these?
YOU BET I DO! Thanks!
PS I so feel your pain of the very limited crafting space…anywhere I can spread MY craftiness out is fine with me! My desk, living room hardwood floor, bedroom carpeting floor…yep any where I can spread my “mess” out!
Bernadette @b3hd says
Gotta say I love YOUR’S better. Looks like an “in front of the tv” project if ever there was one and I’m so pinning this.
Thanks for the great tutorial!
Bernadette @ B3HD
You cant even tell the difference what a great knock off I love them. I could do with some craft organisation im my life lol I have it spilling out of every possible drawer, cuboard ect it would be nice to set up a proper desk area xxxx
Tried and Twisted says
Love this idea! This is definitely a project to pin. Thanks for sharing!
It’s possible to make these (and use less hot glue but slightly more yarn) by wrapping the yarn without cutting; you wrap your first color until it’s just short of its desired width and then start the end of the 2nd color under the wrap of the 1st; when the 1st is done your 2nd color can start immediately and wrap around both the cotton rope and the 1st color, then you can switch back to the 1st without cutting and hot-gluing the ends every time you switch colors.
Whether you pre-cut lengths or wrap without cutting you can also pre-wrap the rope around the can/jar as you go; this allows you to adjust the color blocks so that you can get that checkered pattern (or stepped/offset, or whatever you like). If you want to get really fancy you can measure the circumference of your jar first and divide it into equal lengths so you know exactly how far to wrap each of your color blocks.
Forgot to say – these are beautiful! 🙂 Yours look better than the Anthro pots.
I would not have given the anthro pots a second look, but yours, I love. Very clean and summery looking. Almost a beach look to them. Excellent!
Cool yarn boxes:))
Doris Hamilton says
Yours is brilliant! literally. But we must always give thanks to our originals for they inspire us. In this case the Anthro piece maker.
to me, yours look more beautiful than anthropologie’s! I would like to try this, but I already have so many handmade jars for my art supplies… 😀 Does anyone else have that problem? 🙂

The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned the drone attacks on two pump stations on Saudi Aramco’s East-West pipeline. The pipeline transports Saudi oil from the Eastern Province to the port of Yanbu.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC), denounced the "cowardly act of terrorism and sabotage" aimed at undermining the safety of the world's global energy supplies and economy. It reaffirmed the UAE's outright support for the Kingdom and for all measures taken to protect the security of its facilities and natural resources.
The Ministry stressed that the targeting of the two pumping stations proves once again the importance of addressing terrorist organisations that carry out such subversive acts, including the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen.
It called on the international community to play its role in restoring legitimacy in Yemen, and to take the necessary steps to deal with terrorist acts that destabilise the region.
The world cannot afford a major confrontation in the Gulf, UN chief Antonio Guterres warned on Thursday, as the Security Council prepared to meet to discuss suspected attacks on two oil tankers in a strategic sea lane.
The video, published on Thursday on the US Central Command's website, purports to show the crew of an Iranian patrol boat removing an object from the hull of a vessel whose markings appear to match archive footage and pictures of the Japanese-owned tanker Kokuka Courageous.
The Ministry said that the concerned authorities have taken all necessary measures, and are investigating the incident in cooperation with local and international bodies.
Medics said 145 people were wounded in the latest clashes, taking the casualty toll to more than 530 in two days
Some 30 people, mostly students, were on the bridge Sunday afternoon in the town of Kaur when the newly built crossing suddenly collapsed, hurtling some teens into the water below while others clutched on to the railing.
The minister added in a separate tweet that marginalization of the Arab role in Libya as happened in Syria will not happen again. Foreign powers agreed at a summit in Berlin on Sunday to shore up a shaky ceasefire in Libya.
Ventus Lau was arrested on Sunday evening on charges of "obstruction of police administration" and violating terms set when permission was granted for the protest, the Hong Kong Civil Assembly Team said in a statement.

Mores and Customs
The topography and the products affect the diet,
mores,customs and idiosyncrasy of the people. The period of
olive harvest, wine harvest and distillation characterizes and
regulates the lives of people and shapes their habits.
The Kissamos diet is dependent on local production, local
flora ,with the famous pharmaceutical and nutritional value and the
Christian upbringing. The kitchen of Kissamos is rich in variety
and content, both in foods and sweets.The oil in the first place,
legumes, vegetables and herbs of the area.Dairy products, fresh
fish, free range meat (from sheep and goats, chickens, rabbits) ,
the pastry, the local pasta and sweets create unique flavors.
The mores and customs of the residents have strong roots
in tradition, which are expressed through lifestyle, cultural and
religious events. Syrtos dance, rizitika songs and
mantinades, violin and lute move, not only the elderly, but also
young people, who continue the tradition by creating new artistic
groups which attend the events of the area. The religious and
cultural events that take place throughout the year still maintain
the habits of the old festivals with treats from the local
people (sardines, beans, olives, cheese, boiled meat, fried
fish, etc.) to all attendees and Cretan music and dance are often
part of the festivals.

Have you seen Fleetwood Mac before? Incredibly I hadn’t, despite having lived through their entire band history- from listening to The Green Manalishi with my brother in the days of Peter Green when the Mac were a bona fide blues-rock band, through their massive hit Albatross, Green’s mysterious disappearance, to whatever they are now.
