FLORENCE — Is there a chronic crime problem in the Amboy Avenue neighborhood or has one incident simply rattled residents’ nerves?
Several residents appeared before the Township Council at a recent meeting because they were alarmed by what they’ve experienced.
One resident claimed her son was beaten up twice on the night of July 26, during some kind of gathering at a home on Amboy that turned ugly when many in attendance banged on doors and cars, urinated and smoked marijuana in public.
Another Amboy resident said the neighborhood has become a “ghetto.” A young woman sobbed as she said she fears for her safety and has tried unsuccessfully to sell her home three times.
All refused to be identified or interviewed for fear of retribution.
“I think this was one incident that unfortunately got blown out of proportion,” Mayor Craig Wilkie said, while acknowledging that there was property damage and physical injuries. “You just have a lot of people in a small area that shouldn’t have been there.”
One thing the township is doing to allay residents’ concerns is to replace streetlight bulbs with brighter ones.
The mayor said the police are working with the administration to find solutions to make sure what happened July 26 doesn’t reoccur. Wilkie said one house has been the scene of a number of incidents in the last six months, representing 25 percent of all calls to that area.
However, he said the percentage of calls to the area is no different than in the past.
“There are certain things, we can’t tell the people they are being done. But we’re working on it,” Wilkie said, noting that investigations are ongoing and arrests from the July 26 incident are being made.
Township Administrator Richard Brook said he doesn’t see the situation on Amboy Avenue as critical.
“I wouldn’t say it’s a chronic crime problem,” he said. “That was a real isolated incident.”
Brook said the incident was not indicative of life in that section of town, but instead was just some unruly kids who got out of hand and were disrespectful.
“They were bad people,” Brook said. “I don’t know how else to put it.”
He also said the owner of the Amboy Avenue property where the July 26 gathering was held is in the process of trying to evict the tenant.
Since the incident, police have shown up “on numerous occasions” on foot and bike patrols.
“Things have been relatively calm and quiet,” Brook said. “The police have had a very active presence in that area.
“I wouldn’t call it a ghetto,” he said.
Because there have been problems at times with certain landlord-owned properties, the mayor and council have directed Brook to implement a landlord ordinance that will take effect in 2015.
“I think that is part of the problem — landlords who own properties who are making a profit from it, but they fail to properly screen some of their tenants, and they fail to maintain the properties,” Brook said.
The ordinance will require the municipality to inspect properties regularly, inside and out.
“The whole goal is to maintain a quality of life,” Brook said.
Landlords “have a responsibility and an obligation to make sure that the property is well-maintained and that it is clean, and that the tenants are respectful and courteous to the people that they live around,” he said.
Acting police Chief John Bunce said he doesn’t think Amboy Avenue residents need to fear retribution for coming forward.
“Amboy Avenue is not a bad neighborhood,” he said. “I do not feel Amboy Avenue is any more a problem than any other part of town.”
Bunce said his department is finding that a lot of residents’ complaints don’t pan out. He said officers have conducted special operations that cannot be discussed and have made heavier than normal patrols.
“We’ve had some results from it, but nothing to the magnitude that was being reported,” he said, while noting that “if the residents are concerned, we’re going to address the area.”

Luis Suarez Comeback
Can Luis Suarez Return To Glory After Becoming The World's Most Infamous Biter?
Suarez may replace Messi not just as an attacker, but also as a defender. Russia’s coach Fabio Capello has observed about Barcelona’s new attacking trident: “Suarez does defend, but the other two not so much. Messi defended early in his career, but has stopped doing so in the past few years.” Now Suarez will chase up and tackle opposing defenders in possession, as Messi used to. He understands Barcelona’s traditional pressing game partly because he spent those three seasons at the Catalans’ twin club, Ajax — both clubs shaped by the great soccer thinker Johan Cruijff. It’s no coincidence that another of Barcelona’s summer signings, Thomas Vermaelen, is a former Ajax man too.
Inevitably, Barcelona’s attacking style will change with his arrival. For years, Barcelona had just one designated dribbler: Messi. Now it has three. That means the rapid ball circulation of recent years, the tiki taka, will diminish. However, Barça’s style was probably due for a renovation anyway. The new team, under new coach Luis Enrique, went the first eight games of the season without conceding a league goal. If Suarez can keep his teeth more or less inside his mouth, and he doesn’t suffer Zlatan’s fate of being exiled by Messi, he can give his career the apotheosis it deserves.

This month, we find the C-Trap® featured in Nature Communications in an article published by the lab of Dr. Joanna Rorbach in which they describe mitochondrial translation initiation.
The study provides insight into a relatively unexplored, yet exciting field that investigates the properties of mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) during translation. Understanding this process can assist the development of treatment strategies in mitigating aging and several diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.
Khawaja et al. used the C-Trap to evaluate how mitochondrial mRNA binds to mitoribosomes. The correlated optical tweezers and fluorescence microscopy system enabled them to expose a captured DNA–RNA hybrid to fluorescently labeled ribosome units and subsequently visualize their interaction through confocal imaging.
Measurements showed that interaction between an individual mitochondrial mRNA end and a mitoribosome required a start codon and both ribosomal subunits (small and large).
By applying different complementary methods, including cryogenic electron microscopy, fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy, and single-molecule analysis with the C-Trap, the researchers could explore the non-canonical translation of mitochondria and extract both structural and functional information. The study may pave the way for a better understanding of poorly known mitochondrial processes associated with several chronic diseases and aging.
Congratulations to Dr. Joanna Rorbach at Karolinska Institutet, her lab, and all the authors involved in this work!
For more information, read the full article published in the journal Nature Communications titled “Distinct pre-initiation steps in human mitochondrial translation”.

Rachel Carney was Wales Arts Review’s woman on the ground at the inaugural Cardiff Book Festival.
It seems appropriate that, in the same year in which Cardiff held its first ever city-wide arts spectacular in honour of Roald Dahl, the first Cardiff Book Festival also takes place. Almost every town or city now has an annual celebration of all things lit, so it seems strange that, up until now, the capital of Wales has not had a book festival of its own bearing the city’s name. Sparked by an idea from organisers Cerith Mathias, Brian Meechan and Anna Day, the Cardiff Book Festival is a much needed addition to a city which thrives on culture, diversity and the arts.
The programme was varied, with something for everyone, a kind of Hay Festival in miniature form. It included everything from a Scrabble tournament to political debate, but the main focus was on literature, with a strong contingent of Welsh writers including Owen Sheers, Jonathan Edwards and this year’s Wales Book of the Year-winner, Thomas Morris. Those from further afield included thriller writer Sophie Hannah, London-based poet Caroline Smith, and journalist Miranda Sawyer.
The highlights of a book festival are often the little nuggets of insight that you get from hearing writers discuss their work, and Cardiff Book Festival was full of such insights. There were fascinating conversations about form, genre, inspiration and the complexities and challenges of the writing process.
Many writers spoke about the aches and pains of redrafting their work. Laura Powell began her debut novel, The Unforgotten (Hesperus Nova, 2015), as an old-fashioned story of forbidden love, but admitted that she was influenced by watching TV crime dramas, so that it became “an accidental thriller” from which she eventually cut 50,00 words.
There was an interesting discussion about the ethical issues involved in writing of “other people’s traumas”. Holly Müller, whose book, My Own Dear Brother (Bloomsbury, 2016), is set in Austria during the Second World War, explained that she was forced to abandon her preconceptions when interviewing elderly Austrians, and needed to be bold in producing a book which would portray the reality of that time. Patrick McGuinness, who lived in Bucharest for over a year during the Ceauşescu regime, wrote his novel, The Last Hundred Days (Seren, 2011), from the perspective of an outsider, someone who, like him, was able to observe what was going on, but from a safe, uninvolved vantage point. He described how some Romanians were critical of his work, even though contemporary Romanian literature still avoids the subject.
It was pointed out by Cynan Jones that festivals show “there is no one way to write”. Sophie Hannah described her writing process as being full of “torment and despair”, while Deborah Moggach argued that “there’s no such thing as plot, only character”. Rachel Tresize revealed that, whilst it takes her just a week to write a short story, her novel took seven years to complete, and Thomas Morris described spending three weeks working on the final paragraph of one story, determined to get it “just right”.
Alongside traditional meet-the-author events, there were writing workshops, the most interesting of which provided an insight into the publishing world. Hazel Cushion, from Accent Press, and Richard Davies, from Parthian, gave encouraging, though somewhat contradictory advice, and Gary Raymond described his own journey towards publication.
The festival concluded with a lively debate on whether we still need feminism in 2016. The overwhelming conclusion was “yes”, perhaps due to the fact that the five women on stage were all feminists. The festival organisers did a fantastic job of bringing writers and thinkers together to discuss the best of UK literature, and the only question that remains is this: will the Cardiff Book Festival of 2016 be the first of many more to come? I very much hope that the answer will be a resounding “yes”.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Scott Janssen — “The Mushing Mortician” — is foregoing ice cream and cake this year to celebrate his 50th birthday on the Iditarod Trail, but some of his best friends are still going to sing him a birthday song.
“It is going to be me and 16 dogs and they are going to be howling at the moon,” said Janssen, an undertaker competing in his first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
Janssen is taking a hiatus from his funeral service business to compete in the 1,150-mile sled dog race from Anchorage to Nome. On Monday, he was in 48th place in the 62-team field.
“One of the reasons I became a funeral director, even as a youngster, I wanted to do things that were a little bit different,” he said.
Five-time champion Rick Swenson was injured Monday in a fall in rugged terrain between the Finger Lake and Rainy Pass checkpoints. Swenson reported he believes he broke a collarbone, but race spokesman Chas St. George says a doctor hasn’t looked at it yet. Communication between Rainy Pass and Anchorage was iffy, and St. George was waiting word on any decision from Swenson, including scratching.
Defending four-time champion Lance Mackey was in the lead late Monday, leaving the Rohn checkpoint just after 6 p.m., followed by Hugh Neff and Sebastian Schnuelle. Rohn is 272 miles from Anchorage.
Janssen is president and owner of Janssen Funeral Homes Inc. He said his interest in becoming an undertaker began in high school when he worked two summers digging and filling in graves and mowing grass at the Oakdale Cemetery in Crookston, Minn. His best friend’s dad ran the cemetery.
“I developed a bit of fascination with death,” said Janssen, an acknowledged horror movie buff.
After graduating high school and marrying his high school sweetheart, Debbie, he thought he would go into the printing business but then hosted a housewarming party and invited all his neighbors, including a funeral home director who lived two houses away.
The funeral home director asked the 20-year-old what he was going to do with his life. Janssen told him he wanted to buy the print shop where he worked. But the funeral home director told Janssen he should learn to be a mortician.
“He said, ‘Scott you put on a good party,’” Janssen said. “’Putting on a good funeral is like putting on a good party.’”
Janssen took the advice and got a bachelor’s degree in mortuary science from the University of Minnesota. He was offered a funeral director and embalmer position at Evergreen Memorial Chapel in Anchorage in 1985, and he and his wife moved to Alaska.
Janssen now owns the chapel and two funeral homes.
Janssen said his more than 25 years as an undertaker have prepared him both physically and mentally for the Iditarod. His job at times has required him to put in long hours, sometimes working several days without sleep to care for the dead and their grieving families.
“I have always had the ability, through my long work hours, to stay awake and function mentally and physically,” Janssen said.
But he said it’s emotional and mental toughness that can make the difference in finishing the Iditarod.
Being an undertaker taught him something about emotional and mental toughness because it requires putting personal feelings aside in order to care for others, he said.
“It is that mental strength you need to go on,” he said.
Janssen estimates it is costing him $70,000 to race the Iditarod but said the experience is worth it. He loves the camaraderie, the thrill of having someone like defending champion Lance Mackey, perhaps the best musher the race has ever seen, walk over to chat.
Then, there’s the experience of being out on the trail, just him and his dog team on a cold, clear night.
“I think the stars are a little bit brighter up here and then have the Northern Lights come out above you,” Janssen said. “It is the closest thing to being with God other than being in church.”

“Bali is a popular tourist destination, which has seen a significant rise in tourists since the 1980s.Tourism-related business makes up 80% of its economy. It is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking and music. The Indonesian International Film Festival is held every year in Ubud, Bali. In March 2017, TripAdvisor named Bali as the world’s top destination in its Traveller’s Choice award,” pulled from Bali – Wikipedia.
For all their hard work on the boat, Eric Rigney and I wanted to reward Bryce Rigney and Trent Rigney with a trip down to Southern Bali to surf the famous Ulu Watu and Padang Padang breaks with their s/v Ocelot buddy Rainer Dawn. Eric stayed in Lovina to guard the boat and I went with them as chaperone. Our 5 hour drive south included a stop at the Twin Lake Trekking Point with pretty lake views where the boys goofed off a bit, and a fellow had bats to hold for a photo-op.
Then we stopped off and had a tour of a coffee plantation specialising in Lewak Coffee (a little catlike rodent critter who eats the fruity coffee beans and digests them whole. After coming out the other end, the beans are then cleaned, roasted to perfection, ground and voila…delicious tasting coffee!).
Passing straight through Bali’s capital, Denpasar, and heading along the only route south, the Jelan Bypass Nusa Dua, past Bali’s Intl airport, we culminated our 5 hour taxi drive south arriving at the bottom of Bali on the SW corner of Bukit Peninsula.
Just barely noting an unassuming wooden sign pointing the direction down a dirt road, our taxi driver hesitatingly drove the narrow route to a dirt lot on top of a cliff with a long dirt walking path heading down to the Bali Rocks Hostel. We unloaded the taxi and waved goodbye to our still unsure taxi driver. He was worried because the Bali Rocks Hostel was not a typical “hotel” with a typical hotel entrance. It is tucked away down a cliff – like most of the other homes/apartments/hotels along that beach, and literally hanging over the famous Pedang Pedang surf and beach, otherwise known as Labuan Sait Beach. The hostel manager was there to greet us with a smile and showed us to our very tidy two twin bed room with private toilet, sink and shower.
We arrived just after noon. Having already eaten lunch along the way at McDonald’s the boys quickly got organized to surf. Leslie
Here is Trent’s journal account of the adventure:
The day after our boat Kandu arrived at Lovina Bay on Bali, Bryce, Rainer Dawn, myself and mom left to the southern end of Bali where there is great surf. On our drive, we stopped to look at really cool, tame bats. The bats were fruit bats. We could have held them, but I didn’t want to pay the money.
We got hungry, so our driver stopped off at a road side fruit stand for us to buy curious fruits and packaged snacks. We bought strawberries, passion fruit and delicious rice snacks to tide us over for the next couple hours of driving.
Just past noon, we finally arrived at the end of a dirt road. I got all the stuff I could carry and walked down 50 stairs to our hotel which was perched on the cliff right beside the beach. We arrived in the early afternoon at Pedang Pedang, which allowed us to surf until low tide when the waves became too small to surf. We walked up the dirt road into town for dinner. It was really expensive! The next morning, we surfed at “Impossibles” which is a little big for my BIG Robert’s epoxy board (hard to duck-dive) but still pretty fun. “Impossibles” is good at low tide, and at high tide, we moved over to the beginner/intermediate surf break toward the beach area. That’s where I caught a lot of waves.
On our third day, we surfed “Impossibles” in the early morning as the tide was coming in and the other intermediate area at high tide later that morning. We broke late and ate linner. Mom discovered a snack restaurant at the neighboring hostel. Boy, that chicken burger and fries never tasted so good! We ended up eating there for most of our meals. After a little rest, the three of us decided to rent long boards because after 2.5 days of boogie boarding, Rainer was ready to surf! The three of us headed out for the beginner spot. Rainer did great and I caught even more waves than I caught the day before. I also got huge rashes on my legs because the board was made of foam. Rainer stood up for the first time on his long board. The three of us even caught waves together – they call those party waves!
The next morning “Impossibles” was too big for me. Bryce had taken off before sunrise on his own to surf the famous waves of Uluwatu with his GoPro. Later we learned he caught a ride on a scooter and joined up with some French guys. He caught a gnarly barrel.
We had a crazy experience dealing with the macaque monkeys that morning. A bag of granola had been left outside the room from Bryce’s breakfast. A monkey must have found it, spread the word to the other monkeys, and it seemed like 25 monkeys swarmed the hostel to get their share. They made a terrible mess – turning over all the garbage cans, pulling out the trash, and scattering the oatmeal everywhere. Only a long stick or broom could actually scare them away. I tried to shew one away, and it lunged back at me baring its teeth. I dodged the male, but it spooked me enough, that I never approached one again unless I had the broom. I swept up the mess, and eventually the monkeys went away. Unlike the previous days, the beach in front of the hostel was swarming with all ages and sizes of monkeys the rest of the day. The local dogs had a great time chasing after them.
Bryce returned later that morning. Because the waves were too big for Rainer and I, we didn’t surf again until after lunch. That afternoon, we all surfed the beginner spot. I surfed this time with my short Robert’s fiberglass surfboard and it wasn’t very fun. So I paddled back to the hostel and exchanged it for my boogie board and fins. I got a pretty cool barrel!
The next day our taxi cab driver from Lovina came to fetch us at 13h00. Unfortunately, “Impossibles” was too big in the morning and the other site wasn’t good either, so we didn’t go surfing. On our ride back, we went inside the coolest and biggest surf shop ever with a huge statue in front: Surfer’s Paradise.My mom wanted us to hold the bats, but when we arrived at the spot, they weren’t there. We took a detour to see a very special area of rice patties which was cool. The entire valley was so green. We also stopped off at The Temple on the Lake – Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. It was a pretty place and full of tourists. It felt good to be out of the car. The three of us joked around knowing that our buddy surf trip was just about over.
We dropped Rainer off at his aunt and uncle’s boat with the dinghy and unpacked to repack our sacks with clean clothes for our next adventure. The day after we returned to Kandu, we took off on another road trip to the neighboring island, Java. But this time by bus and ferry.

Maximum number of cards distributed in Ramanagar,Chikkamagaluru,Bagalkote districts
Minister calls upon all disabled people to register for the card
Karnataka has achieved a significant milestone by distributing 5.86 lakh Unique Disability Identification Cards (UDID),said Karnataka Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar after reviewing the progress of the UDID card distribution process.
UDID cards are issued by the government to disabled people to allow them to avail several benefits given by the government to disabled people.
Karnataka has done well in Universal Identity Card –UDID for the disabled in collaboration with the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities.
Ramnagar district has the highest number of cards distributed. Chikmagalur is in the second position, followed by Bagalkot,Haveri,Uttara Kannada, Belgaum and Mandya districts,Minister Sudhakar said.He congratulated the health officers of the districts for their good performance.
People with disabilities must register their name on the UDID portal.Getting a UDID card is easy once you log in.
You can avail many facilities from the government through this.With the UDID cards,we will be able to track beneficiary facilities at all levels of implementation at block and district level,state and national level.
The aim of the government is to distribute UDID cards to each and every disabled person,which can be used to avails several benefits across all sectors,Minister Sudhakar said.
Earlier only seven types of impairments were considered in disability.But after the amendment of the RPWD Act of 2016,additional 21 types of disabilities have been included in the list.
Data about the disabled persons and their disability is being collected.It includes educational, employment details.
People with 40% physical disabilities are being identified as disabled.

Sidney Poitier, the first black man to win a best actor Oscar, has died at 94.
The Hollywood star’s death was confirmed to the BBC by the office of Fred Mitchell, the Bahamas’ minister of foreign affairs.
Poitier was a trailblazing actor and a respected humanitarian and diplomat. He won the Academy Award for best actor for Lilies of the Field in 1963.
Former US President Barack Obama said Poitier “epitomised dignity and grace” and had “singular talent”.
He added that the actor revealed “the power of movies to bring us closer together” and “opened doors for a generation of actors”.
US broadcaster and journalist Oprah Winfrey also paid tribute, saying: “For me the greatest of the ‘Great Trees’ has fallen,” adding the actor “had an enormous soul I will forever cherish”.
Born in Miami, Poitier grew up on a tomato farm in the Bahamas and moved to New York aged 16.
He signed up for a short stint in the army and did several odd jobs while taking acting lessons, en route to becoming a star of the stage and screen in the 1950s and 60s.
Poitier broke racial barriers in Hollywood. His appearance in The Defiant Ones in 1958 earned him his first Oscar nomination – in itself a historic achievement for a black man in a lead category at the time.
Five years later he went one better, taking the glory for Lilies of the Field, in which he played a handyman who helps German nuns to build a chapel in the desert.
Speaking on a live Facebook stream on Friday, The Prime Minister of the Bahamas, Philip Davis said: “Our whole Bahamas grieves. But even as we mourn, we celebrate the life of a great Bahamian.”
He added: “His strength of character, his willingness to stand up and be counted and the way he plotted and navigated his life’s journey.
“The boy who moved from the tomato farm to become a waiter in the United States, a young man who not only taught himself to read and write, but who made the expression of words and thoughts and feelings central to his career.” (Courtesy BBC)

I've gotten it into my head to go through my stamp sets and use the stamps that are rarely or never used. This lead me to my Papertrey Ink Fresh Floral Wrap Ups stamp set. Their stamp sets are almost always scaled for an A2 card and I often make more like A7 cards. As such, I sorta was carried away with the novelty of the size and the charming florals that this set makes.
It was super fun to try out different inks on kraft paper as well as to try different patterned papers together for this very forgiving card design. Don't I feel cosmopolitan having made this lovely card set?
Let this encourage you - pick up those seldom used or never used tools and give them some much needed love. My project was a welcome balm during a very difficult week.
I'm entering these cards in the following challenges:

I watched a video technique using white pigment ink to stamp an image and colored pencils to color on the image. These Valentine's cards are inspired by that and I have this amazing heart/love stamp that I never quite know what to do to use it.
On the inside, a simple stamped sentiment to make sure everyone knows what the card is for. I'm not sprinkling romantic love around the office randomly, just expressing some holiday, not weird at all "love".
I ended up trying a variety of coloring combinations, mainly to keep me interested. The effect is not "in the lines" neatness and so I had to reign in my inner perfectionist. She decided a nap was in order and I got to make quite a few. She still cringes at some of the finished results, but they really are lovely and the recipients thought it a special surprise.
My daughter asked for help in making a few valentines herself. I used my Lawn Fawn Whale You Be Mine stamp set. Cute, easy to make and, apparently, easy to forget because she ended up taking them to school the day after Valentine's Day.
I'm in Flagstaff recovering from participating in the Honors Explore day with same daughter. She's committed to NAU for school which means she's leaving me in the fall. It's a beautiful campus (we walked through a large portion and many flights of stairs in the high mountain air) and she's very excited. I'm grateful for some quite time this morning with which I remembered these pictures and actually had time to edit and post.
I hope your weekend is fantastic.

I'm thinking that Brandy's balloon card was great and I wish I could say that her card inspired mine, but I think it was just that the spring in Arizona fills the skies with hot air balloons and so we were both probably inspired by the same spirit of wonder at looking up to see them floating by. Here I clear embossed my balloons, dipping the baskets in some coffee Archival Ink to give me the perfect medium to watercolor with. These balloons were watercolored with my Mission Gold watercolors.
On the inside, I used one of the coordinating stamps to keep the theme with this banner. It was difficult to get a good picture of the color in the banner, but trust me that it was subtle, but nice in person!
I backed the balloons with a stitched rectangle patterned paper piece raised with foam squares. The kraft card base was embossed with a swiss dots embossing folder.
I simply can't decide which background I like best. They all have their own inspiration and my set of cards was put to good use expressing some gratitude.
I'm going to link these cards up to the following challenges:
City Crafter Challenge Blog A Few Stitches since I used my stitched rectangle die
Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge Transport It since I used my hot air balloons which are a manner of transport

In 2015, I spied a Pinterest idea and made some pastel paper flowers with a thought to make some wall hangings for my office at work. I shared the flowers that I made in this post. I changed jobs since then and my new job moved our offices (1 mile closer to home!) recently. I decided that getting this project done needed to be a priority. So, I'm sharing the flowers with you today.
I die cut plain white cardstock with my Arianna Blooms die and then water colored the flowers with Worn Lipstick, Faded Lilac and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. After shaping the flowers, I used a lollypop stick that I stuck through a hole cut in the center of the flower. Using floral tape, I wrapped the bottom of the flower down the lollypop stick to create the stem. I poured a fair bit of Crystal Accents in the center over the step and covered with the Heart of Gold prills.
The wood plaques were purchased on sale from Michaels and I stained them with some mahogany stain I had on hand to match the furniture in my office. Here's what it looks like alongside a picture of the spot where my husband asked me to marry him almost 26 years ago...
This project was a long time finishing, but well worth the effort. Maybe I can be an encouragement to get those projects completed. I'm certainly glad that I get to look at these every day. They make me smile and brighten my office.
I'm linking this project up with Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge, Fantastic Florals and Word Art Wednesday's Weeks #270/271 - Anything Goes and since I took this "old" flowers and finally made them new, I'm going to link up to the City Crafter Challenge Blog's Old Stuff, New Look challenge.

Love and I wanted to share this photo of my grandparents, Bob and Mabel. They celebrated 70 years of wedded bliss last year (it will be 71 in a few short weeks). This picture was taken at their anniversary party and will always come to mind when I think of the word Love.
Love is in the air this week. What are you doing to celebrate? Why not snap a picture and join the fun over at

Snow Cool stamp set in a post holiday sale and so, I ended up purchasing Avery Elle's Be Jolly stamp set. The snowman and sentiment were stamped using Memento London Fog ink. I colored the scarf, nose and arms with colored pencils to stay with the soft color scheme. The snow is embossed in white and some snow glitter is on the hat.
I made a set of these cards for thankgiving and note cards for this season. We don't really have snow in Arizona, but this makes me think I got a small taste (not really!). Have a fantastic weekend with or without snow!

I've a milestone birthday card to share with you today. The big "5" "0". I'm rapidly approaching this milestone myself and my husband will achieve this milestone later this year so it should come as no surprise that my friends are achieving this milestone as well.
Happy Day stamp set onto Bristol paper. I colored the image with my Zig Clean Color Clear Brush markers using a waterbrush to spread the color on the image. The image was then fussy cut out. I used the matching dies to cut the image out of the polka dot patterned paper creating a window to place the image over some black cardstock. A little grosgrain ribbon from the stash and the card is finished simply. I think the result is a cute card that hopefully cheered the recipient.
What cute card creations do you have up your sleeve? I'm still feeling the new year swell of creativity so I'll be back with more creations later this week. Hope it is a good finish to your week!
I'll linking up with the following challenges:

This one is another inspiring card by Brandy. In this case, those balloons were colored with her Distress inks (Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmons, Squeezed Lemonade, Mown Lawn and Salty Ocean) and then covered in Spectrum Noir sparkle pen. There was a who lot of fussy cutting of the balloons, banners and clouds in order to lay them down on the watercolored card base. Theres a bit of foam tape behind two of the balloons to give this an "up and away" vibe.
I just love the bright colors and the cheery sentiment to go with it. A wonderful card that I'm sure gave the recipient a smile. Plus, I get the joy of sharing it with you here today.

I had to go to Las Vegas for work last weekend. It was a very good conference and I learned a lot for my new job, but it was exhausting. I worked all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday and needed to travel home Sunday (we drove from Phoenix) to get back in time to finish some chores and get back to work Monday morning. Since it was such a busy week, I decided to enjoy the dinner Saturday night. We shuttled over to the Bellagio hotel and casino to see what the garden looked like - this year it was decorated for Chinese New Year (being Saturday when we were there!). We had dinner at the Bellagio Cafe where I enjoyed this lovely berry martini (how grown up of me do you say - since this is likely to be the only "drink" I have for months...) and a chocolate layer cake that was just heavenly. Both sweet treats that I couldn't have enjoyed more!
After it all, it was outside to watch the fountains and then, sadly as this is what kind of grown up I really am, back to the hotel to fall into bed in an exhausted heap. It was a trip worth the effort and our little dinner out was a fine reward. Yummy!
Come join the fun at

I was inspired by this pin and decided I couldn't stay away from my SSS Favorite Flowers stamp set. I decided to go a little softer on the color scheme, but stayed real close to the layout inspiration. This one layer card was super fun to make, so I made many.

Stopping in to once again share a card front made by Brandy. Wow, I love the scene she created using the Heartfelt Creations Under the Sea stamp set and Coral Reef Collage stamp sets. A little masking was used to place that stunning goldfish over the conch shell. The fish and shell were stamped and white heat embossed onto some watercolor paper. This makes coloring the image very easy as the embossing creates ridges that prevent the water from spreading too much. The image was colored using her Mission Gold watercolors. The colors are far more vibrant than this picture allows - one of the unfortunate facts of the Mission Gold watercolors. In person, stunning!
Brandy used a white gel pen to hand draw all of those bubbles. So fantastic, it feels like we're all in the coral reef enjoying this view, doesn't it?
This card front isn't yet finished into a card. If Brandy sends me a photo, I'll share with you all here. I just couldn't wait to share the card front since it turned out so nicely.

Cambodia: Status and Potential for the Development of Biofuels and Rural Renewable Energy
Cambodia’s economic performance has been strong in 2000–2008 and its energy demand is likely to increase. In line with this, the search for alternative energy, including biofuels, is being pursued aggressively.
In Cambodia, land is available to produce energy crops; however, resource allocation for biofuels will affect the price of food and other agricultural products. The country needs to develop an integrated policy to simultaneously address food security, poverty reduction, and energy security.
The Greater Mekong Subregion Working Group on Agriculture conducted a study that provides a preliminary assessment of the long-run commercial viability of a biofuel program in Cambodia.
This report is part of the Greater Mekong Subregion: Status and Potential for the Development of Biofuels and Rural Renewable Energy series.

Sólstafir are unveiling their complete forthcoming full-length, 'Berdreyminn', which means a "dreamer of forthcoming events". The new sixth masterpiece of the enigmatic Icelanders is out now.
'Berdreyminn' is now exclusively streaming via the official premiere partners listed below.
Marast Music (CZ)
Metal Hammer (DE)
La Grosse Radio (FR)
Rock Overdose (GR)
Lángoló Gitárok (HU)
Metal Wani (IN)
Metal Italia (IT)

Frontman Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments on behalf of SÓLSTAFIR: "Finally, the time has come to present you 'Berdreyminn' in its entirety. Hopefully, the previous pieces that we have released will now fall into their rightful places in the puzzle that this album represents. There is much to explore, surprises to discover as well as meeting old friends again, and we sincerely hope that you will like what you find. Enjoy!"
The cover art by Adam Burke and track-list of 'Berdreyminn' can be viewed above.
Sólstafir have set sails to new horizons with 'Berdreyminn'. Yet the Icelanders brought their home with them and the silhouette of their vessels remains easily recognisable. Welcome aboard on a new adventurous musical journey into uncharted territories.
The world needs heroes now more than ever. In the shape of Montreal’s larger-than-life metal warriors Valfreya, it has them! And in their striking vocalist Crook, they have their own Valkyrie!. In 2009, vocalist Crook wanted to play something akin to folk metal, but even more aggressive and fast paced. Combining Valhalla and the Norse goddess Freya, the band has been creating music and lyrics to revolve around stories inspired by Norse mythology.
Orchestral and death metal with a hint of folk music, the prolific Valfreya have released two well-received EP's (‘First Chronicles’ and ‘Acoustic Chronicles’), an impressive 2012 debut album entitled ‘Path To Eternity’ via Maple Metal Records and have just unleashed their second ‘Promised Land’ independently on January 13, 2017.
“The album is a journey through a lot of emotions and situations, giving life to a host of varied songs, each with a different sound and personality. The story behind the album is about Eric The Red discovering America and how he defies the Gods, but pays a hefty price for that defiance. ” says Valfreya about the release. “It’s a step-up in sound quality and has more intricate guitar parts and better-written music that with every listen you can discover parts you hadn’t noticed before. On top of that we have an original sound and songs! We want to give more to people that enjoy good riffs!”
Just as you hear on record, Valfreya promises the fans a unique live experience. What you hear on the album is what you get on stage. All vocals, whether clean or screams, are done by the band members both in studio and live. They dress in a fantasy-like Viking fashion to go with their story-telling, which gives an interesting visual aspect, while delivering the instrument-playing with precision. Valfreya has shared the stage with Arkona, Dark Tranquility, Nekrogoblikon, Necronomicon, Koorpiklaani, Moonsorrow, Tyr and Insomnium.
‘Promised Land’ is now streaming in full at the following links:
Available on iTunes, CD Baby, Bandcamp and all online major retailers.

Dark Essence Records have announced that the 20th January has been set for the release of "landawarijaR" the much-anticipated ninth full-length album from Norwegian Viking Metallers Helheim.
"LandawarijaR" will contain seven tracks, all of which bear the hallmarks of Helheim's traditional Norse heritage. A Heritage of which they are rightly proud and to which they have remained true, eschewing the temptation to turn themselves into the Viking parodies that so many bands have espoused. With "LandawarijaR" Helheim use their lyrics to express the need to include the Norse Heritage into modern life by emphasising the importance, mystery and never-changing wonder of the Runes.
Just as Helheim's "RaunijaR" followed in the same vein as its predecessor "Asgards Fall", "LandawarijaR" continues where "Heidindomr" ended. All four albums incorporate the use of Timpani and Horns, and the new album also has a number of artists performing guest vocals including William Hut, Morten Egeland (Narrowhead), Pehr Skjoldhammer (Alfahanne), Bjornar E Nilsen (Vulture Industries, Black Hole Generator) and Ottorpedo.
With music by by H'grimnir and V'gandr, lyrics by V'gandr and artwork by H'grimnir, "LandawarijaR" was recorded at the Conclave and Earshot Studios in Bergen, and produced by Bjornar E. Nilsen (Vulture Industries, Black Hole Generator) and mastered by Herbrand Larsen (Enslaved).
Helheim recently announced that two songs from the album were being turned into videos by Guilherme Henriques, who is both producing and directing the videos. 'Ymr' and 'Baklengs mot intet' are the songs that been chosen because, as the band explained, they are "neatly intertwined into a dualism which Guillherme will portray". The videos are expected to be debuted in the run-up to the release of "LandawarijaR".
A series of stills from the video shoot by the photographer Mathis Backe of Yggdrasil Photo (http://yggdrasilphoto.net ), and featuring Helheim's line-up of Vgandr on bass and vocals, Hgrimnir on rhythm guitar and vocals, Noralf on rhythm and lead guitar and Hrymr on drums and programming , were recently published, and can be seen on Helheim's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/helheimnorway
Art Gates Records are proud to announce Spanish Viking Death Metal outfit Yggdrassil as the new artist to be included in our international roster.
Born in the city of Zaragoza in 2013, this brutal five-pieced combo blends a mixture of Death Metal and Viking influences, their lyrics speak about mythology and fierce battles.
In words of the band:
"The signing with Art Gates Records consists in a very important step for us to start sharing stages with well known bands and release our music to the entire planet".
After the release of their first EP "One step closer to Valhalla" (2015) Yggdrassil performed through the entire country to present this album, sharing stage with well known acts such as Drakum, Incursed, Pimeä Metsä, Northland or the swedish Thyrfring. After all this process Yggdrassil started working in the creative process of their new record, which will see the light through Art Gates Records worldwide.

makes four generous servings
4 oz bacon, chopped
2 large (or 3 small) carrots, chopped
1 cup leeks, white and light green parts, washed and thinly sliced (or about 1 small yellow onion, diced)
pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried Turkish oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, plus (optionally) more for serving
1 cup French green lentils, picked over for odd little bits
6 cups beef stock
5 oz (about 4-5 handfuls) kale, chopped into bite-sized pieces
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
olive oil and parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Add bacon to a cold Dutch oven or soup pot and turn flame to med-high. Cook until bacon renders about half its fat and pan begins to take on color, about 5 minutes.
Add carrots, leeks, pepper flakes, thyme and oregano and cook until veggies begin to give off liquid. Add vinegar. Deglaze pan, scraping up all brown bits from bacon.
Add lentils and beef stock and bring to a boil; then reduce to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
Add kale, pushing down to submerge in broth, and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until leaves have wilted substantially but kale remains green. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve soup piping hot in big bowls with a scant drizzle of vinegar, olive oil and a scattering of parmesan, if desired.

Just Another Reason I Like Steel!!
I posted some pics on the mechanics forum, what a sad end to a really nice bike (1994 Trek 1400 I think). I picked up the remains this weekend from the former owner, as I was interested in the 8 speed RX100STI components, wheels, and more.
One person's loss is another's gain. This failure freed up a lot of parts, that I need to resurrect a few other bikes...


Jim Heffernan column: Here’s a raisin/gin confidential
Thoughts on raisins in gin, magnetic watches, discarded horseshoes.
I recently heard that golden raisins soaked in gin might be good for what ails ya — things like various aches and pains.
It reminded me of my lifelong (and that’s a good period of time) disdain — yes, disdain in its purest form — of raisins. And raisins in gin? I’m not that nuts about gin, either. But for medicinal purposes? Well, maybe.
My dislike of raisins in all forms goes all the way back to my childhood when they showed up disguised as chocolate chips in cookies. Yuck. What a gross disappointment. You think you’re biting into the best cookie ever invented and instead of chocolate chips, you get dark, gooey raisins?
There’s a lesson in life in there somewhere having to do with trust. I got it mighty early.
I actually don’t like anything like that — dates, currents, figs, dried fruits used in holiday baking such as fruitcake. Never touch the stuff. We have a saying in our family: “The only good raisin is a dead raisin.” Well, I have a saying.
Yup. I coined that phrase years ago, and now it is used by my children (who are no longer children) and their children (who are). The trouble is, they all like raisins. The young ones like to taunt me with raisin packages or oatmeal cookies containing them.
“Get thee away from me,” I bellow. “The only good raisin is a dead raisin!” The youngest ones would scream with glee when they were still of a screaming age.
But getting back to the health theory of soaking golden raisins in gin as a remedy for feeling achy in the back or possibly other places: I suppose if I felt achy enough, I’d try it. But I was raised a Lutheran, so I hate to imbibe in a raisin full of gin. “The evil gin does is hard to assess,” go the lyrics of a song I once knew. Not a hymn, though.
This silly raisin-gin nostrum reminds me of a bracelet I have had for years containing a bunch of magnets that, when worn, work wonders on aches and pains, too. Once years ago, my left shoulder began hurting and I got to thinking I might have to have rotator cuff surgery. It wouldn’t go away.
So one day walking through the mall, I ran into an old acquaintance who showed me the magnetic bracelet he’d just bought to ward off various pains and aches. They were selling them at a special table in the mall that day. Hmm. Maybe a magnetic bracelet would cure my shoulder pain, I deduced. So I ran over and bought one. And it came with a guarantee: If it doesn’t work, try and find the seller.
Now I’m not saying it is responsible for eliminating — completely eliminating — the pain in my shoulder, but the pain went away. No rotator cuff surgery. On with life wearing a magnetic bracelet. Who can say?
I once heard a story about Niels Bohr, the brilliant Danish physicist who won the Nobel Prize for illuminating understanding of atomic structure and quantum theory, as everyone knows. Well, Google knows.
As the story goes, a visitor to Bohr’s home noticed a horseshoe fastened to the wall above a doorway, apparently for good luck. The visitor remarked to the great Nobel laureate that surely he didn’t believe horseshoes could bring a person good luck.
Bohr reportedly responded that nobody has ever proved they don’t. If you can explain quantum theory, you can prove a negative any day of the week and twice in Sunday.
Well, there it is. Raisins in gin, magnetic watches, discarded horseshoes. Prove they don’t work to alleviate certain pains or bring good luck.
Still, I don’t really believe any of it myself. I have a bachelor’s degree, for crying out loud. But I do know that I hate raisins, and that the only good raisin is a dead raisin.
Which brings to mind a time when I shared that sentiment with a grieving relative at exactly the wrong moment. Without going into detail about who’s who here, a few of us who share parts of the same gene pool were gathered in a restaurant following the funeral of our kin to console those closest to the person we’d honored with coffee and a bite. Toward the end of this gathering, a plate of cookies was passed around, and I spotted a raisin cookie disguised as a chocolate chip.
When handed the plate by a somber mourner, I proclaimed, “The only good raisin is a dead raisin.” It was out of habit.
The remark didn’t seem to go over that well with the grieving group, as anyone with an ounce of sense can understand.
But that was years ago and forgotten by everyone but me. Now onward to sampling one yellow raisin with a pint of gin … for medicinal purposes, of course. A pint? I guarantee that’ll make anyone feel better … until the morning after.

Test results for eight handheld GPS, ranging in price from $150 to $750
An 'adventure' handheld GPS can reveal your position if you're lost, or record every step you take so you can find your way back. Also, if you know the co-ordinates of a destination, anywhere in the world, it will show you how to get there on foot.
Some units are similar in size to a rugged-design mobile phone, with several small buttons and a joystick to control the various settings. Some units are larger, with a bigger screen and wider buttons. They are portable and designed to be carried for extended hikes.
A handheld GPS works by collecting information from a group of at least 24 satellites that constantly orbit the earth. A fix on three satellites is all you need to get a 2D position, with a fourth needed to calculate height.
Unlike some of the latest mobile phones with inbuilt GPS features, handheld GPS units don't need a mobile phone network to work, and unlike a car navigation device, they don't need an electronic map to be useful. A handheld GPS continually monitors its own position and speed, ready to give you information on where you've been while you're carrying it, and where you should go.

Peninsula Place, part of the Greenwich Peninsula redevelopment, is a billion pound landmark building, designed by architect, artist, and engineer, Santiago Calatrava. He was joined at today’s press conference by Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London), Peter Murray (NLA), and Richard Margree and Sammy Lee (Knight Dragon).
The conference this morning took place in the Now Gallery, which is part of the Gateway Pavilions. The space, which is on the doorstep of North Greenwich tube station, was designed by Marks Barfield, and is (as described by Margree) “a deliberate statement of intent by Knight Dragon as to what we wanted to do here, and the quality that we will bring.” This initial building - the literal and metaphorical gateway - is one which will set the tone for the development. Knight Dragon's overarching aim for the 150 acre site is to become an attractive and thriving community of seven neighbourhoods, and is why the team approached Santiago Calatrava almost two years ago to create something iconic for it’s landmark building. The design of Peninsula Place is a manifestation of “form perfectly match[ing] function”, as Calatrava sought to understand and celebrate this “critically important space in London”.
The Peninsula itself, as neither an island, nor widely considered as part of the city, has long been an overlooked section of London. Richard Margree, of Knight Dragon, spoke of the area as an impossible opportunity - explained to him over a phone call as “a piece of London you have never heard of”. It stands at 150 acres (twice the size of Soho), with 1.6 miles of river frontage; “an extraordinary blank canvas” which just so happens to have the jubilee line, “the world's most successful entertainment arena”, the historical pull of the meridian line, and with Canary Wharf, and London City Airport on the doorstep. This ‘developer’s dream’ is set to become a new hub of London; a place for art, culture, and a busy community. With outstanding transport links (including Crossrail in 2018) and Canary Wharf casting a shadow over the ground, it is difficult to understand how this area of London could have been overlooked by developers until now. Khan spoke of the potential of the peninsula site, explaining how the area is flexible, diverse, and completely changeable from day to night, and that he himself had been in the neighbouring O2 arena a mere 10 hours before at a concert.
Known for his public realm projects from Bilbao to New York, Sadiq Khan noted that after Calatrava’s international practice, he is now ready to design in London. “Bilbao was a rehearsal for...Greenwich Pensinsula”.
Although the site lies in the shadow of the city’s famous business district, Canary Wharf, Margree was keen to emphasise that of the 2500 homes which will form part of the development by 2018, over one third will be affordable. These 950 homesteads along with retail, £500m of public spaces, and a new film studio, are set to attract talent and creativity; something which Khan is keen to encourage.
Khan spoke of the £8.4 billion regeneration of the peninsula area as being both a symbol and a magnet for talent. “London is open”, he reiterated, noting that Sammy Lee of Knight Dragon was one of the first people he spoke to about keeping the development of London Moving, post-Brexit. He spoke of the great efforts made by the local borough to regenerate the area, and praised the teams involved for providing "much-needed infrastructure" and creating "genuinely affordable homes for Londoners". The seven neighbourhoods will provide 15,720 new homes over the coming years.
Calatrava spoke passionately of his links to London, and his admiration for British design and our ‘attention to detail’ throughout the city, telling us “You cannot image how important the project is for me”. He spoke of his "affinity with this city" and fondly of his first art exhibition, which was held at the RIBA many years ago.
This project is a synthesis of his work to date, creating a “heart” for the area, bringing together elements of design in which he has extensive experience; landscaping, transport, bridges and public spaces. With Peninsula Place, he aims to “dignify and highlight the particularities of this place”, and create a new centre for the capital; not only does the scheme incorporate a residential area of 400,000 sq ft, but also a new tube and bus station, a theatre, cinema, hotel, bars, retail, and a wellbeing centre. Set to be a thriving hub for the 'Peninsular Central' neighbourhood, the scheme will be set next to two buildings, from Greenwich Peninsula's masterplanners, Allies and Morrison.
The considered design welcomes the public from the tube station into a winter garden, reaching 80 foot overhead, and stretching for 500 feet in length. This first space, the Galleria, will be flooded with natural light, as the three tower step up and back away from the center of this 'urban forest'.
A land bridge, which will connect the main Galleria space and the Meridian Square public park, is very much an integral part of Calatrava's 1.4 million sq ft design. Connecting the riverfront to the building via a public park creates a journey, and aims to attract the public from a large radius to the cultural hub.


The BRITS Awards has just wrapped the 40th year of its making in the UK music scene. Like always, the ceremony was packed with appearances from countless celebrities and artists, along with the remarkable shows from the likes of Mabel, Lewis Capaldi, Stormzy, and Rod Stewart. Capaldi and rapper Dave were the big stars who went home with big prizes last night.
Dave became the biggest artist last night, taking home the most prestigious prize, Best Album, for his debut album Psychodrama. Meanwhile, Scottish vocal powerhouse and comedian Lewis Capaldi was also crowned with the Best Song prize for his mega-hit “Someone You Loved,” which he too confirmed during the speech that is not about his ex-girlfriend but about his late grandmother.
— BRIT Awards (@BRITs) February 18, 2020
18-year-old global phenomenon Billie Eilish won International Female Solo Artist. While thanking for the crown, the “bad guy” hitmaker almost bursted into tears from great joy. “I have wanted to say something that I was thinking like two seconds ago,” she said. “I’ve felt very hated recently. And when I was on the stage and I saw you guys smiling at me, it genuinely made me want to cry and I want to cry right now, so thank you.” That moment was probably the very first time Eilish was highly emotional on stage despite her receiving a plethora of awards prior to the BRITS.
Another impressive achievement belongs to Mabel. She was named British Female Solo Artist last night, while her mother Neneh Cherry took her own trophies back home 30 years ago.
Below are the lists of the winners.
- Dave – Psychodrama
- Stormzy – Heavy Is The Head
- Michael Kiwanuka – KIWANUKA

Elsewhere in the ceremony, there were a string of remarkable performances from huge stars. Stormzy, to begin with, brought Burna Boy and Tiana Major9 together with dancers and choirs for his singles from Heavy Is the Head. Mabel and Dave were also performing, and their shows received much praise for creating diversity for the awards. Furthermore, Celeste who won Rising Star Award belted out “Strange”, her single that put the singer to fame.
International acts, namely Billie Eilish and Lizzo, also impressed the audience with their songs. As Eilish debuted the live performance of James Bond’s theme song “No Time to Die”, Lizzo did a mash-up of her smash hits which brought extreme fun for the night.
Despite delightful shows and great politically inspirational speeches from the artists, this year’s BRITS awards has been criticised for its lack of gender balance from the nominations which were dominated by male artists.

Here’s What Critics Have to Say About Oprah’s New TV Role
Television icon Oprah Winfrey returns to the small screen tonight in a drama, Greenleaf, debuting on her network OWN. The series is about the various scandals and affairs of a bishop’s family in a Memphis megachurch, and it’s the media mogul’s first major scripted TV role in decades.
In the series, which was created by former Lost and Six Feet Under writer Craig Wright and executive produced by Winfrey, the former talk show host plays a recurring character, named Mavis McCready, who owns a music club.
For the most part, critics so far are loving Greenleaf. Though only a handful of critics’ reviews appear on the website RottenTomatoes, those that do are uniformly upbeat, giving the show a 100% “fresh rating” on the site as of Tuesday afternoon. In its review, the Los Angeles Times said Greenleaf “deserves high praise,” while Variety writes that the series “treats themes of faith and redemption with earnest intelligence.”
Here are what other critics wrote:
Entertainment Weekly: “[Greenleaf is] fresher, wiser, and more relevant than most shows that tackle spiritual matters, and it brings more people of color in more unique roles to TV. It’s provocative and progressive as religious pop but disappointing as wickedly delicious melodrama.”
The Hollywood Reporter: “It’s no surprise that Keith David, he of the unparalleled voice and the reliable ability to keep even theatrical performances from going too big, is perfectly cast as Bishop Greenleaf.”
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “Oprah Winfrey is not the star of Greenleaf . . . But, she has the juiciest part, among a lot of juicy parts, in this soapy new drama series about a black megachurch in Memphis, Tenn.”
Variety: “[Greenleaf is] a classic nighttime soap, so all the staples of the genre are there: infidelity, substance abuse, a love triangle or two, greed, resentment, and vengeance.”
Meanwhile, in its positive review of Greenleaf, the Los Angeles Times also went out of its way to call out Winfrey’s five-year-old network for waiting until now to dip its toes into the realm of so-called “prestige television.”
According to the Times, Winfrey “wasted years and millions mucking around with all manner of ‘uplifting’ reality shows” before turning to an established show-runner like Tyler Perry for help (Perry created several series that have aired on OWN).
With Greenleaf, though, Winfrey appears to be putting more of a personal stamp on the content on her own network. Meanwhile, Winfrey’s return to the small screen is set to continue beyond Greenleaf, as OWN is also developing a series with Selma director Ava DuVernay called Queen Sugar, in which Winfrey also reportedly has an acting role. That series does not yet have an official premiere date.
Greenleaf debuts on OWN (short for the Oprah Winfrey Network and a joint venture between Discovery Communications (DISCA) and Winfrey’s Harpo Productions) on Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET, though the rest of the 13-episode season will run on Wednesday nights.
While OWN is reportedly the highest-rated cable network among African-American women, another new show that debuted on the network last fall, the documentary miniseries Belief, drew disappointing ratings.

Back in Byron Bay I stopped by a travel agency to help books some tours in Cairns. I choose this particular tour because it was inexpensive compared to the rest and who doesn’t like waterfalls. But I didn’t have very high expectations. To my surprise, this was one of my favourite tours of all!
We started with a visit to Lake Eacham. You can swim in this lake, but it was a bit too early in the morning for my to go for a swim.
We went for a hike at Malanda Environemental Park to go turtle and platypus searching. And boy did we find them! I couldn’t get a good picture of the platypus, but it was super cool (and much smaller than I expected).
Next stop, a giant Curtain Fig Tree.
We stopped by our first little waterfall.
Before we headed to the much larger Millaa Milla Falls.
We had another waterfall stop next, Josephine Falls. There’s a mostly flat rock that the water goes over, creating a natural slide. So of course we all had to give it a try.
Our last stop of the day, Babinda Boulders, provided the most gorgeous hike and view.
It was a seriously perfect day.

COD MW3 offers players a diverse range of weapons to choose from in their quest for victory. After the player enters the game, he can get the advantage by upgrading the weapons, which will help us to proceed more smoothly in COD MW3. The following guide details how to level up your weapons in COD MW3, providing a better gaming experience.
Using Pack-a-Punch machine to upgrade weapons in COD MW3
The Pack-a-Punch machine can upgrade weapons and increase their damage and magazine capacity. Upgrading a weapon in this way also can add special effects to the weapon. Players can find the Pack-a-Punch machine on the whole map of COD MW3 Zombies and upgrade their weapons.
To use the Pack-a-Punch machine to upgrade weapons in COD MW3, follow these steps:
- Find the Pack-a-Punch machine throughout the map in the Zombies mode. You can use the Tac-map to locate it.
- Once you find the machine, approach it and pay a certain amount of points to upgrade your weapon.
- You can upgrade your weapon three times, but you can only upgrade it once per zone.
- It's important to note that the upgraded weapons cannot be saved.
The cost and area of upgrading your weapon depends on the level you want to reach:
- 5,000 points for level 1, use the Pack-a-Punch in a clear zone.
- 10,000 points for level 2, use the Pack-a-Punch in the Orange Zone.
- 15,000 points for level 3, use the Pack-a-Punch in the Red Zone.
In addition to using the Pack-a-Punch machine, you can upgrade weapons using thorium crystals found throughout the map. These crystals can be found in loot crates or scattered around the mission area.
Upgrade weapons by earning XP
To upgrade weapon levels in COD MW3, players must earn experience points (XP) for the specific weapon they want to level up. To upgrade weapons, we need to invest a lot of time in the game; for this, you can buy Modern Warfare 3 boosting at U4GM, which will help us to get a better gaming experience. Here are some tips for leveling up weapons in MW3:
- Use the weapon extensively: Focus on using the specific weapon you want to level up to earn kills and XP. Equipping the weapon on multiple loadouts can ensure you always use it to gain XP.
- Complete attachment and weapon-specific challenges: Each weapon type has specific attachment challenges, which reward XP.
- Play specific game modes: In multiplayer, playing objective modes like Search and Destroy can yield more XP per kill and more XP for winning matches, while big-map modes like War and Ground War can provide more opportunities for kills and objective XP.
- Utilize Zombies mode: Players can earn weapon XP by slaying zombies and completing contracts in the Zombies mode. Picking the gun to level up in the insurance slot and playing while completing contracts can help level up the weapon.
- Take advantage of Double XP events and tokens: Double XP events and tokens, including double weapon XP tokens, can accelerate the leveling-up process by providing additional XP for weapon usage.
By employing these strategies, players can effectively level up their weapons in MW3 and unlock attachments and camouflages more quickly.
The difference between using Pack-a-Punch and XP to upgrade weapons
In COD MW3 Zombies, two primary methods for upgrading weapons are using the Pack-a-Punch machine and earning experience points (XP) for the weapon. Here are the key differences between the two:
The Pack-a-Punch machine allows players to upgrade their weapons up to three levels, doubling the weapon's damage and magazine size and, in some cases, adding special effects, such as shooting explosive rounds.
The cost of using the Pack-a-Punch machine increases with each upgrade level: 5,000 points for level 1, 10,000 points for level 2, and 15,000 points for level 3. Players can only upgrade their weapon once per zone, and the upgraded weapons cannot be saved; they will return to their base form when the game is exited.
Players can level up their weapons by earning experience points (XP) for the weapon they want to upgrade. Using the weapon extensively, completing attachment and weapon-specific challenges, and playing specific game modes can help players earn XP for their weapons.
Leveling up a weapon through XP allows players to unlock various attachments and camouflages as it progresses. There is a cap for weapon XP, and the XP starts to fall off after a certain number of kills, ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 XP.
In addition to the Pack-a-Punch machine and XP, players can upgrade weapons using thorium crystals found throughout the map. These crystals can be found in loot crates or by completing contracts, and they allow players to upgrade weapons without needing the Pack-a-Punch machine.
In summary, the Pack-a-Punch machine is used to directly upgrade the stats and abilities of a weapon, while earning XP for a weapon allows players to unlock attachments and camouflages as the weapon levels up. Both methods provide different benefits for enhancing the performance of weapons in MW3 Zombies.
