B01J2/20 - by expressing the material, e.g. through sieves and fragmenting the extruded length
B01J2/16 - by suspending the powder material in a gas, e.g. in fluidised beds or as a falling curtain
The unit is equipped with> at least one nozzle for supplying containing binder liquid, accommodated in the housing in the area above generated during operation of the fluidized bed. The outlet nozzle in a generally downward direction is made in the form of a sieve plate. The nozzle is made in the form blockstring nozzle. The body is made mostly with circular cross-section. Area spray nozzles are oriented in the radial direction. Area spray extends only from one side of the vertical middle axis of the housing mostly along the radius of the beam. The nozzle is mounted for rotation around its center axis of the housing. The nozzle may be made in the form of a two-component blockstring nozzle with external mixing of components. A nozzle configured to supply the atomizing gas under pressure 2-7 bar and be atomised fluid under pressure 0,2-3,0 bar. The nozzle is also made for fluid flow, in the case of water supply, which is about 1.5 to 5.0 l/min, the Device may contain multiple plasmatronic nozzles, preferably 6-12 nozzles uniformly distributed over the circumference of the body. Nozzle with rachav the form of a sieve bottom placed the plate, equipped with a mainly radial slits for the passage of air. Plate mounted for rotation c to ensure coincidence of the positions of the slits and plasmatronic nozzles. The surface of the fluidized bed, at any time covered by the nozzles, is 10-25% of the total surface of the fluidized bed. Covered by one nozzle surface of the fluidized bed is 150-750 cm2preferably 600-700 cm2. The technical result is the supply of narrow and uniform particle size distribution of the treated material, hardly containing particles of a large size and almost dust-free. 9 C.p. f-crystals, 2 Il.
The invention relates to the processing of material in the form of liquid particles in a fluidized bed, in particular to a device for processing material in the form of particles containing a binder liquid fluidized bed.
Medicine, additives to food and other products often at the end of the manufacturing process are in the form of a powder or mixture of powders of a specific particle size distribution. Even if the product is chemically or from another point of view is suitable for use for certain purposes, it may still sometimes practice does not fully Express its deistvijah the problem of insufficient chemical resistance or danger of the powder material due to dust can be solved by granulating powder material, in case you need to supply particles of the granulate does not interfere with the protective substance.
A device for processing material in the form of particles containing a binder liquid fluidized bed, comprising a housing, provided with a bottom in the form of a bolt connected to the gas source, at least one nozzle for supplying containing binder liquid, accommodated in the housing in the area above generated during operation of the fluidized bed, and the outlet nozzle in a generally downward direction is made in the form of a sieve plate, means for trapping dust and at least one opening for release of gas placed in the upper part of the body (see U.S. patent N 3382093, CL 427213, 1968).
A disadvantage of the known device lies in the fact that it is not guaranteed in a very narrow and uniform particle size of the processed material, hardly containing particles of larger size and virtually dust-free.
The objective of the invention is to create a device for processing material in the form of particles containing a binder liquid fluidized bed, reliably providing a very narrow and uniform particle size of the processed material, pocts proposed device for processing material in the form of particles containing a binder liquid fluidized bed, comprising a housing, provided with a bottom in the form of a bolt connected to the gas source, at least one nozzle for supplying containing binder liquid, accommodated in the housing in the area above generated during operation of the fluidized bed, and the outlet nozzle in a generally downward direction is made in the form of a sieve plate, means for trapping dust and at least one opening for release of gas placed in the upper part of the body, due to the fact that the nozzle is made in the form of blockstring nozzle, and the body is made in the base with a circular cross-section, and area spray blockstring nozzles are oriented in the radial direction, and the area of the spray extends only from one side of the vertical middle axis of the housing mostly along the radius of the beam, and a nozzle mounted for rotation around its center axis of the housing.
Very good results are achieved when using blockstring nozzle, made in the form of a two-component blockstring nozzle with external mixing of components with which to be atomised liquid auxiliary gas stream is sprayed after leaving the nozzle and periodistica, probably, in spite of the auxiliary pressure of the atomizing gas, creates a well-distributed stream with the dynamics of droplets, in the case of transfer of powder to granulate together with the fluidized powder material, leading to a particularly uniform agglomeration.
Preferably plasmotroane nozzle is made with the possibility of sputtering gas under a pressure of 2 to 7 bar and be atomised fluid under pressure 0,2 - 3,0 bar. This plasmotroane nozzle can be made for fluid flow, in the case of water which is about 1.5 to 5.0 l/min
The proposed device is expediently contains several plasmatronic nozzles, preferably 6 to 12 plasmatronic nozzles uniformly distributed over the circumference of the body. Ploskostnye nozzle can use the levers to be mounted on the Central rotary shaft, and the rotary shaft and the levers can be hollow.
Under made in the form of a sieve plate of the device can be placed stove, equipped with a mainly radial slits for the passage of air, and a plate mounted for rotation providing matching provisions of the cracks and plasmatronic nozzles.
Suitable for carrying out the method of two-component ploskostyami nozzles are, for example, nozzle Spraying Systems company. In the experiments it was found that suitable nozzle is, among others, the nozzle of the specified company brand SUE 45, which has a spray angle 45o.
When processing additive to feedstuff used in the following example of the proposed method, the best is to download made in the form of a sieve plate 200 - 300 kg of powder raw materials on m2the bottoms. As gas fluidization in the case of the following example using nitrogen, and the temperature of the nitrogen as it enters the device is of powder material is heated to a temperature above 70oC, preferably 80oC. In the following with reference to the attached drawing is illustrated a schematic design of the proposed device according to one form of execution. The drawing shows: Fig.1 is a schematic vertical section through the main part of the device; Fig.2 is a schematic horizontal section through the device showing the installation of spray nozzles.
The device 1, a schematic section of which is shown in Fig. 1, provided with a cylindrical casing 2 for receiving subject material processing at the lower end covered by a plate 3 in the form of a sieve, the size of the cells which is selected to ensure that only a small dose intended for placement on the bottom of the raw material can pass through is made in the form of a sieve plate. The housing 2 has a top cover 4, which has at least one hole 5 for gas release, made in the wall 6 of the cylindrical body 2.
Under the bottom 3 has a gas chamber 7, provided with holes 8 for the gas inlet provided with not shown in the drawings blower. The dash-dotted line 9 in the upper part of the housing 2 is shown schematically a filter for trapping the supplied gas is top fed back into the tank, where is the material, or are going to order the other processing.

It is not long since Only fools and horses finished but when it was replayed on BBC 1 last month it was described as a classic comedy, this is perhaps a testament to just how far we have come in the last 20 years or so with regards to the internet, Mobile phones, computers and Dels favourite, fax machines. Del was one of the first people to try and flog some mobile phones, admittedly in the late 80's to early 90's they looked like bricks - but he was hit with comments like "only an idiot would buy one" by mike.
Another thing which has come along way is computers in general, in the episode Yuppy love, we see rodney typing away on a computer not to dissimilar to the one seen in the early seasons of lost, also in the frogs legacy when Del is trying to sell a computer to the priest, its quite hard to believe just how advanced we have become in just 20 years.
My final Comparison is Del and his dodgy fax machines compared to today's world of Email or even facebook, Del would constantly be trying to flog fax machines to Mike or Boycie down the nags head, but the fax machine become obsolete in the early noughties when email really took of.
this understandably is the natural order of anything, the old dies away to pave way for the new, but what this really tells us is just how strong John Sullivan's portrayal of characters and story telling actually is, to be able to accumulate new viewers via uk gold on a daily basis, but also keep the old viewers hooked on episodes they have already seen many times.

'The Good Wife' 7×2 Recap: 'Innocents'
I hope you like a version of The Good Wife where none of your favorite characters talk to each other and we jump to a new scene every thirty seconds
By Alexis Rhiannon • 10/12/15 11:37am
The Good Wife. (photo: CBS)
I hope you like a version of The Good Wife where none of your favorite characters talk to each other and we jump to a new scene every thirty seconds, because the show is still very much laying groundwork for the rest of the season in its second episode, "Innocents". I'm trying not to get worried yet, because it's still so early on, but I feel like the writers have painted themselves into a corner where everyone has such disparate motivations and storylines that I'm concerned about how they're ever going to come back together into the coherent show that I love.
The main plot points we're working with this week are:
One of Alicia Florrick's bond court cases — for the moment, we seem to have abandoned the inappropriate judge who's punishing the Alicia's clients for her inexperience by giving them higher bails.
Eli Gold beginning to lay his trap for Ruth Eastman, Peter Florrick's new campaign manager.
Alicia looking for a new lover. I'm sorry, did I say "lover"? I meant investigator. This show is desperately in need of some sexual chemistry and they're about to get it in the form of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Jason Crouse.
Diane Lockhart, Cary Agos, and David Lee trying to cut Howard Lyman loose.
Little Grace Florrick turning into a baby lawyer just like her mom.
And those are just the main ones, so hold onto your butts for a ton of exposition. We're planting a lot of seeds that (I hope!) are going to get harvested later in the season.
The main deal with bond court is that Alicia is better at it now, enough so that Lucca "Seemingly Very Little To Offer In Terms Of Friendship" Quinn is handing off cases to her, which is how she ends up with the case of Erik Barsetto (Johnny Simmons), accused of vandalism at a museum, for attacking a piece of art with a hammer. And far from shirking responsibility, he says it was him, and he'd do it again. Intrigue! It turns out he's the kid in the photos, which happened to be nudes and were taken when he was eight, by his artist mom, Phyllis Barsetto (Amy Irving), and he's in the nude, which explains his reluctance to have the photos on display.
At first, Alicia is just trying to get the museum charge to go away, but once Nancy Grozier (GOD BLESS YOU MAMIE GUMMER) appears on the other side to represent the museum, Alicia decides to fight it, trying to get the exhibition shut down by insisting that Barsetto the Younger never gave consent to Barsetto the Elder to reproduce and profit off his image. And no sooner has she decided to do that, then as if drawn by the scent of money, Lucca shows up at her door demanding her cut, since she exerted herself so significantly by handing the file to Alicia. Two things about that: A. what are we supposed to like about this woman so far? and B. did everyone's phone break when Kalinda Sharma (Archie Panjabi) left the show? All of a sudden we're just showing up at each other's doors?
Anyway, Lucca joins the case just in time for their consent tactic to get shut down; turns out, the Elder gave consent for the Younger to be photographed, on account of she's the parent and he's the child. Sucks. Alicia then thinks she's on the right track to argue that these photos ruined her client's life, by trying to locate Erik's sister Wendy, but she gets dicked over by Amanda Marcassin (Trieste Kelly Dunn), the investigator she hired over Jason Crouse, whom she said reminded her of Kalinda. (Couldn't resist one last dig at Archie Panjabi, I guess.)
Their next attempt is to put a real life pedophile on the stand, one who has actually…um…"gratified" himself with the images of Erik, to try to prove that the images are of a pornographic nature and can't be shown (which, side note: I can't believe wasn't their approach from the beginning, because kid weiners???), but Lucca and Alicia were basing their case on a criminal statute when no criminal charges were filed, so they're back at square one for the third time in the episode. Finally, everybody sits down at a table where Alicia and Lucca are trying to hash out how much money is owed to Erik because of child labor laws, and his modeling work being unpaid, when mother and son gently lay hands on each other across the table, and all is apparently forgiven. It isn't explicitly stated, but it seems like Phyllis is going to give Erik the photos, and we're all going to live happily ever after. However, Amy Irving is listed as a recurring character on Wikipedia, so it's really anybody's game.
Meanwhile, in an entirely different world that overlaps for a total of maybe fifteen seconds, Eli is stalking his prey, Ruth Eastman. He's glad-handing Peter, and pretending to Alicia that he doesn't mind being vetoed for the Chief of Staff position, and Peter is swallowing it like the big handsome oaf that he is. Alicia sees right through Eli's behavior to the fact that she's being used, and Ruth is so suspicious of Eli that she asks Nora (Nicole Roderick) to be his assistant again and keep an eye on him, but Peter just shakes hands and accepts his apology like he didn't just betray this dude last week.
But for real, this was probably my favorite storyline this week, because we get to see Eli starting to circle Ruth, laying his trap and watching her (and the useless Peter) stumble into it. He mentions that she might like the movie It Follows, but refuses to tell her what it's about, making Ruth find out for herself that it's about a young girl who starts getting followed around by a creature that will kill her if it catches her, and ultimately drives her crazy because she never feels safe. Damn. Gauntlet thrown.
And the thing is, Eli is really good at this, because he gets exactly what he wants: Alicia tells Peter that not having Eli as her chief of staff is a deal breaker, and he capitulates, in what I'm imagining is the first of many times that he'll choose Alicia over Ruth. Safely-staffed, Alicia agrees to go apologize to Frank Landau (Mike Pniewski), who offers her a seat on the election board, as long as she will vote "no" in the first election. Alicia walks out of the room with a seat on the board, although we don't see the end of the meeting, and even though it looks like she accepted Landau's demands, I have a feeling that when it comes down to it, she votes however she wants to.
Back at the office, Ruth hears the news that Landau is endorsing Alicia, helping her realize that Nora actually isn't reporting back on Eli, and she's more alone in this office than she thought. Especially after Peter comes in and makes her call Eli in congratulations, because he is a nightmare oaf who doesn't understand what it means to push people too far. Just call him Peter "Bear-Poker" Florrick.
We also have this through-line of everybody looking for an investigator, because lest we forget, we let Kalinda slip through our fingers, and Robyn Burdine (Jess Weixler) is…dead?? No but seriously, where is Robyn, why aren't we using her instead of interviewing this cop who won't work weekends, money-obsessed Amanda, and smolder-y Jason? Jason and Alicia are bantering pretty much right away, with their sexual tension so thick that Alicia has to call Jason pretty much as soon as he leaves her apartment to tell him he doesn't have the job. Giggle giggle thinking about each other naked.
But after White Kalinda bungles the case, Alicia fires her and gets on the horn with Jason again and starts trying to bid him away from whatever other agency is making him offers. It turns out to be Lockhart, Agos, & Lee, who are offering two and three times what Alicia is able to pay ($250/hour), only to have Jason come back and pretend like she's actually holding her own in a bidding war. She ends up offering him $95/hour, and he takes it and turns down the larger firm, because apparently sexual tension and meaningful eye contact are worth $145/hour now and he'll make up the difference in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
And in fact, we already have indications that Jason will be a top-shelf investigator, since he was able to solve the case of Judge Dunaway and the Rumbly Belly. Turns out Ramadan is the culprit, as we have a strangely incongruent D-story this week where Dunaway has converted to Islam.
And finally, there's the drama at Lockhart, Agos & Lee, where the associates have come to Cary to complain that Howard Lyman has been sleeping through every single meeting with the clients and then billing his customary 70% of the hours worked. Cary goes to bat for them, even though stuff is still weird with LawBro, who is lingering in doorways to remind Cary that "he's totally not gay bro my only true love is the law lolol."
After getting some pushback from Diane, who reminds him that all the partners take 70%, even when they haven't earned it, Cary decides to take matters into his own hands, like some kind of idiot. He takes Howard to lunch and asks him to shift to emeritus status, and it's like he flips a switch in his head, going from Dopey Howard who sleeps nude in his office and honks boobs to War Howard, who threatens to cut Cary's balls off if he tries to push him out. And because apparently neither of them have anything better to do, Cary and Howard start Parent Trap-ing each other, moving up court dates (Howard) and getting each other to show up for meetings and embarrass themselves (Cary). It gets so intense that in a meeting with David Lee and Diane Lockhart, Howard blusters that either Cary goes or he does, and storms out of the room. As David Lee says, "Did he just issue the easiest ultimatum in history?"
I guess we'll see next week, when we return to The Good Wife to see if Alicia and Jason kiss, whether Grace starts wearing power suits around the house, if Eli abandons all pretense and leaps across the death to gnaw on Ruth's jugular, and if Lucca ever manages to wrangle any friendship qualities. See you then!

VIDEO: We Spy: Will You Wear These Crazy Fashion Week Trends?
Oh, it's been a sad time for Huy Fong sriracha-lovers, who must come to terms with the fact that the factory has been forced to shutter its doors and cease production altogether. While the bottles are still stocked at grocery stores, be sure to make all your favorite sriracha-spiced dishes along with these three game day recipes, taken up a notch with sriracha.


It was my privilege to take my grandson to his first big-screen movie at the theater to see "Planes."
Small airplanes are a big part of my immediate family history. Both my parents had their pilot's licenses and flew small, single-engine planes. According to them (and pictures) I was flying through the sky at the tender age of six weeks old. One of my earliest memories is that of reading the instructions on the emergency locator beacon in the backseat of our small plane while we bounced through mountain turbulence on our way to somewhere for lunch. We never needed that beacon, praise God, but it contributed a great deal to my adult apprehension of air travel.
Anyway... "Planes" is about air racing, and one of the friends I met at the theater shared that her grandmother was one of those early racing pilots, which triggered a recollection of my mother sharing something about being asked to join The Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women's pilots.
Mention historical female pilots and most people will only think of Amelia Earhart, but there were many more. Women jumped into the adventure that is air flight almost at its inception. (tweet this!) Orville and Wilbur Wright's first successful, powered, manned flight lasted 12 seconds in December, 1903.
Just three years later, Lillian "Lily" Todd, a self-taught inventor, was busy designing an airplane of her own.
In 1910, Rochester, NY, native Blanche Stuart Scott became, purportedly, the first American woman to fly a plane at a public event. She eventually became a stunt pilot and a test pilot for Glenn Martin (of Lockheed-Martin fame).
My point? There is a lot of history out there that we've scarcely scratched the surface of in modern fiction, and a lot of potential heroes and heroines we might not have considered! When my friend told me about her grandmother, I was surprised. Not only did I not know there were female aviators who raced planes "back in the day," I'd never considered how close to home I might find a unique story idea!
Niki Turner is a writer, former pastor's wife, mother of four, and grandmother of two and a half. She has thus far been unsuccessful at coming up with catchy taglines for her writing, her purpose in life, or what she hopes to achieve in the future. Suggestions are welcome.
What brave ladies! Amazing. I don't know how anybody was willing to fly in those early planes. Human ingenuity and curiosity are a powerful combination!
Great idea for potential stories, Niki.
I'm going to ask my friend about her grandmother. Who knew?
Ohh! Nikster! Strong women in history. Just what I love!
What amazing stories. I loved them all. Especially about your parents and you flying in the backseat of their plane just to do lunch.
This is cool and don't you love the way story ideas pop out of local history? This is big time stuff!
I'm not far from Rochester NY (it's 'my' city) and I hadn't heard of that woman, but we do have a air museum and soaring museum nearby. Soaring is a really scary/fascinating sport that is popular around here. I might try it some day -flying without an engine. YUp that sounds safe!
well, we're expecting a female pilot story from you now!
Thanks for this interesting post, Niki.
That's cool. I guess planes were evolving around the same time as women's rights, so I suppose it was a natural fit.
As I was writing this post I kept thinking about those women taking to the skies before they even had the right to vote. Pretty amazing. And really made me think how easy it is for us to whine about things instead of just taking action!
i've learned so much about pioneering women here at the Inkwell. this is another great post about some more women in history that i hadn't known.
@DebH - So glad you found it interesting! I did, too. History is filled with amazing, astonishing women who never made it into our history class textbooks.
Haha... my DH has suggested learning to fly a few times. I told him he could, but I won't be riding along!


Designed for all skin types, the Episonic brush removes dirt and stimulates and exfoliates skin with sonic micromassage waves that cleanse faces and unearthed dinosaur bones. Used once or twice daily, the brush helps keep pores clean and skin radiant on its own or as part of a larger skincare regimen.
Episonic Facial-Cleansing Brush. Multiple Colors Available.
Exfoliates well, leaves skin soft and smooth. I use it every night.
The facial brush worked great for a week or two and then after that, no matter how long it sits in the charger it will not turn back on. I also had trouble with it shutting off. The brush would just stay on for extended periods of time or even start up on it's own. Very disappointing because when it did work I enjoyed this product.
Product changes speeds while using it. It also shuts down and has to be turned off and turned on again to keep using it. You must keep doing this while trying to clense your face. Contacted company, they want copy of purchase , then you have to pack it and pay postage. Not worth the hassle!
This is the second time I have purchased this item and it has been defective every single time I have received it. Maybe it's the company itself sending defective ones to groupon.
It doesnt circulate so it is worthless. If I could get my money back i would!!
It took forever for the item to be shipped. And I don't feel it's a very good product either. I have another facial cleaning brush that feels like it does way more than the Episonic. I'm very dissappointed in the product and wish I hadn't bought it.


Hi Ata! I must stop by your gallery next and see what you've been up to. Thx for dropping by.

10 Cars Men Lust After 10 Cars Men Lust After
The Bugatti Veyron's birth was not an easy one, that it came to be because one day Volkswagen tsar Ferdinand Piech had a dream: to provide the world with a car that had 1000bhp, cost one million euros and could do over 400km/h (250mph). To begin with the brief seemed impossible but in Piech's mind, not something that couldn't happen.
By 1999 there was a styling proposal and even an engine of sorts, initially with 18 cylinders. By 2000 the styling was clearer and the powerplant had been reduced to 16 cylinders, effectively two 4.0-litre VW V8s. A year later VW announced it was indeed going to build the Veyron and that it would have 1001PS (987bhp) and do over 400km/h. Then the real trouble started.
The engineers knew that to announce a car with such huge power and speed claims was one thing, but that to make it was entirely another. For a year and a half they tried, and for a year and a half they failed, until eventually Bugatti's boss, Dr Neuman, was 'removed.'
Then a new leadership team was brought in in late 2003, Dr Wolfgang Schreiber arriving as the new chief engineer. Having previously been in charge of transmissions at
VW/Audi he was the bloke responsible for the original DSG gearboxes.
A few months after that Thomas Bscher, merchant banker, Le Mans race driver and well-known financial trouble-shooter, was appointed as president, having been head-hunted personally by then VW boss Bernd Pischetsrieder.
Then years later and having changed or re-engineered an incredible 95 per cent of the components, the Veyron became reality. And all of Dr Piech's original dynamic targets had been hit.
This hybrid has a 135 kg 4.6-liter V-8 engine, and 2 electric motors. It develops 887 horsepower (608 coming from the engine and 279 coming from the two electric motors). The Spyder is capable of developing 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. The battery power lasts about 12 miles. Another innovation was brought in: 4 wheel steering. The starting price is roughly $848,000, and it's a limited edition.
MASERATI GRANTURISMO S
The beautiful Maserati GranTurismo coupe was launched in 2007, and in 2010 they made an even more attractive (and more expensive) version – a cabriolet. They announced they would stop making it in 2014. Maserati GranTurismo S was introduced in 2008. This beast has a 4.7-liter V8 and 434 horsepower, reaches 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. Its top speed is 183 mph, which is more than great for a vehicle that weighs 1.8 tonnes. It is one of those things that can't be described with words, so take a look at the photo, or even better – schedule a test ride if you can. It can be yours for roughly $150,000.
With its twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8, this machine is truly impressive. It is actually the only Bently model with such engine and rear wheel drive. Despite its weight (2.6 tonnes), it feels light, fast and powerful and reaches 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Quite good for a "heavyweight" car. For years, Bently has been a symbol of status and class. If you want a luxurious car, you have found it – available at the price of $306,000.
ASTON-MARTIN RAPIDE
The 5.9 V12 engine is just one great thing about this four-door hatchback. With 470 horsepower and capable of reaching 60 mph in 5 seconds, it is powerful enough, no matter how crazy you are. It comes with a six-speed touchtronic automatic transmission. Its interior is as impressive as its exterior: memory seats with heating and cooling, walnut trim, leather, and powerful sound system. This is not just a high quality car. It looks amazing, too. It can be yours for $201,000.
They said this one would replace the 430 model, but they made it completely different. Better. Much better. Pretty powerful, with 4.5-liter V8, reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds. Driving this lightweight car (1.4 tonnes) will make you feel like you're flying. Any attempt to describe the exterior would be just a waste of time, so we are giving you a photo to enjoy. This beautiful thing can be yours for $ 237,000. If you can't afford it, it is best not to look at it, or else you will fall in love and suffer for the rest of your life.
For a car that only weighs 1.5 tonnes, Lamborghini Aventador is incredibly powerful. With a 6.5-liter V12, reaching 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, and top speed of 217 km/h, 'the fighting bull' will leave you breathless. And so will its price – $400,000 – $440,000. As for the LP 700-4 model, they announced they would produce only four thousand cars. The production is, of course, very slow, but it's worth waiting.
HONDA (ACURA) NSX 2015
This beauty is not here yet, but we are looking forward to meeting her. It is planned for 2015. The previous models came with an impressive aluminum V6 VTEC engine that Honda is famous for, and we expect the 2015 NSX to be even more impressive. Honda stopped making NSX in 2005, and after a long break, the production will start again with an amazing new model. Honda lovers are expecting it with impatience, and so are we. They haven't revealed much about it, but the photo from the International Car Show in NY 2012 should tell you quite enough.
AUDIi R8
The first generation Audi R8 was Audi's first attack on the supercar market but it meant that for the second-generation model the brand had some experience to draw upon. That's why the styling, overall proportions and basic character of the Audi R8 Mk2 haven't changed by a huge amount, although it is stuffed with the very latest technology.
The R8's predecessor came with a choice of V10 or V8 engines, but now only a V10 is available with either 533bhp in the standard model, or 602bhp in the V10 Plus. There's no manual gearbox either, just a seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch 'box and an updated quattro four-wheel drive system. As a result the 0-62mph sprint takes just 3.2 seconds in the V10 Plus.
NISSAN GT-R 2015
The fastest car down an unknown road. Which sounds like the title of a concept album, but is nevertheless true. The R35 GT-R is Nissan's finest hour, and almost makes up for the Micra. A four-seater two-door with a decent boot and four-wheel drive that's mightily rear-biased. Bolt that to a suite of electronic cleverness that'll boggle whatever's left of your mind, and you've got a legend that reliably minces cars twice the price.
The engine is a 3.8-litre V6 (VR38DETT, if you want to get technical), punting out 550bhp and 466lb ft of torque. It'll do over 193mph, but more than that, use the 'R-Start' launch control, and you can get 0–62mph acceleration times below three seconds, run after run. That's not a car, that's a missile. But it's not enough for Nissan: it's to get Nismo branding and become even faster. Like, wow.

Hawaii Tourism: Grand Wailea bought for 1.1 billion dollars
2 years ago 1 year ago HawaiiNewsOnline
It's the most expensive single hotel transaction ever in Hawaii. It's actually the second highest ever in the United States.
The 5-star Grand Wailea resort is changing ownership to the Blackstone Group for 1.1 billion US dollars.
New York-based Blackstone Group LP, a private equity firm, plans to purchase the Grand Wailea, according to a report in the Honolulu Advertiser.
The sale of the 776-room Grand Wailea, for the equivalent of $1.4 million per room, bodes well for the continued strength of the Hawaii hospitality investment market.
This purchase by Blackstone shows the confidence that these investors have in Hawaii. It's great news for Hawaii. Not only are they spending top dollars to acquire the asset, but they'll put money back into it to help increase the valuation for investment returns.
The Grand Wailea wants even higher-spending guests after the sale, and a major renovation is in the pipeline.
Blackstone acquired Turtle Bay Resort in October for roughly $330 million. In the past, the company has owned other Hawaii properties, including the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa, Marriott Wailea Beach Resort Maui, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Waikiki Beach Resort, and Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa.
The $1.1 billion price tag would make the Grand Wailea sale second only to the sale of Manhattan's Waldorf Astoria for $1.95 billion almost 3 years ago. China's Anbang Insurance Group Co. bought the Waldorf Astoria from Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.
Blackstone will be buying the Grand Wailea from GIC Pte, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund.
STR forecasts that Hawaii would realize 4.5 percent hikes in average daily rate, the average price paid for a hotel room and in revenue per available room, or RevPar. Many in the hospitality industry identify RevPAR as the key performance measure for hotels since it's the average price that a hotel realizes for each room in a property whether or not it's occupied.
In comparison, STR forecasts that the U.S. ADR would grow 2.7 percent and U.S. RevPar would grow 2.5 percent.
And within Hawaii, Maui hotels are doing especially well.
HTA's November hotel report, the most recent available, showed that Maui leads the islands in RevPAR. Maui's RevPAR increased 6.5 percent year-over-year to $236.

Briscoe Group sales tick up in third quarter
Managing director Rod Duke said the strong jobs market bodes well for the future.
By Rebecca Howard
Briscoe Group said its third-quarter sales were higher on the year after a rebound in October and managing director Rod Duke said the strong jobs market and improving rural incomes bode well for the final quarter of the year.
Revenue rose 2.7 percent to $129 million in the 13 weeks to Oct. 29 versus $125.6 million a year earlier and was also up 2.7 percent on a same-store basis, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. Homeware sales across the group rose 2.5 percent to $81 million while sporting goods sales rose 3.1 percent to $47.9 million.
Duke, who owns more than three-quarters of the company, said Briscoe Group was "especially pleased" with the sales growth achieved during October after a "subdued" September on the back of the election, bad weather and a slowing housing market. He said the strong employment market, low rates of unemployment and strengthening rural incomes bode well for retailers heading into the Christmas period.
New Zealand's unemployment rate dropped to 4.6 percent in the three months ended Sept. 30 down from 4.8 percent in June and employment rose 2.2 percent in the quarter to 2.59 million and was 4.2 percent higher than a year earlier, Statistics New Zealand said in its household labour force survey yesterday.
Rural incomes have strengthened on the back of an improving milk price and earlier today Fonterra Cooperative Group reiterated its forecast 2017/18 payout of $6.75 per kilogram of milk solids plus earnings per share in a range of 45-to-55 cents, making the forecast total available payout of $7.20 to $7.30, before retentions. The final cash payout was $6.52 for the 2016/17 season for a 100 percent share-backed farmer.
"We are certainly encouraged by the very strong sales growth experienced during October and gives us considerable confidence as we commence the crucial final quarter with sales and profit tracking ahead of last year as they have done for each of the previous two quarters," said Duke.
Briscoe Group said unaudited sales for the 39 week period from Jan. 30 to Oct. 29 were $409.2 million, an increase of 3.9 percent on the $393.9 million reported for the first three quarters of last year.
Its shares last traded at $3.28 and have shed 19 percent this year.

Prakash Kaur running a Punjabi Home for Orphans
Prakash Kaur was abandoned as a baby 60 years ago, and has used her experience to transform the lives of other girls who have suffered the same fate. Since 1993, she has dedicated her life to rescuing unwanted and unclaimed newborn girls and giving them a secure home and future.
Today, Unique Home for Girls in Jalandhar, Punjab, has around 60 residents ranging from newborn babies to 19 years olds. Prakash Kaur wants to raise these girls as healthy individuals, educate them and teach them social skills. "They are my own children," Prakash Kaur says. "They are never made to feel like abandoned children." Unique Home is run by a trust named after Bhai Ghanayya Ji, a disciple of Guru Gobind Singh, with a number of trustees based in England.
The first thing that one notices when arriving at Unique Home is a small hatched box near the entrance – you lift the hatch and there is a shelf. Parents can anonymously place their daughters there and leave. When a baby is placed on the shelf, an alarm is set off in the house to let staff know that they have a new member of their family. When it comes to christening the new arrivals, names are drawn from different religions – girls have Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Sikh names.
The house includes three small rooms that serve as a bedroom, dining area and playroom, in addition to a small kitchen and an office for visitors. The room for babies has three big cradles with four to five infants sleeping in them.
However, the shortage of space is the least of the home's problems for the hearts here are big. This is a family, and the older girls take care of the younger ones. Prakash Kaur cooks the girls a hearty Punjabi meal 3 times per day. The girls go to very good English medium schools, and some have been married into suitable homes. But Prakash Kaur's responsibility does not end there.
She continues to keep a watch over the girls even after they are married. She fights for their rights if the in-laws prove to be difficult. An example of this was former Unique Home occupant, Alka. When she became a widow at a young age, her in-laws took all her property and threw her out of the house. Prakash Kaur intervened, fought hard and eventually managed to secure for Alka her rightful share in the family property.
So far Prakash Kaur has organised the marriages of 17 of the Unique Home occupants, some who graduated university before getting married. Several of the older girls here have decided not to marry and instead dedicate themselves to the service of Unique Home.
April 24 is a very special day at Unique Home. Most of the girls do not know their date of birth, so it has been decided that April 24 is the day when all the girls will celebrate their birthday with a huge 100kg cake. In addition, once a year during school holidays, the girls of Unique Home go on a trip to Darjeeling.
Prakash Kaur could have given up the girls for adoption, but she is against it. "We don't want to give our kids up for adoption. People come to us but we refuse," says Prakash Kaur. She knows of many cases in which adopted girls have been ill treated.
"I will never allow my daughters to work as maids anywhere."
An interesting aspect of Unique Home is that the girls know that they have been abandoned because of their gender. Some of them have suffered horrific abuse at the hands of their families. However this has been used as ammunition for the girls to better themselves. Sheeba wants to be a successful neurosurgeon. Prakash Kaur recognised how intelligent Sheeba was at a young age, and Sheeba now goes to one of the best boarding schools in North India so that she is given the top resources and opportunities to fulfil her dream.
"I want my real mother to know that the daughter she threw out of her life is well established. I want to be very famous. I want to prove to her that girls are not a burden," she says. Sheeba has always been top in her classes and is determined to make it to a good medical college.
Lucy is 19 years old. She wants to be a professor of English. "I believe that education is the only way forward in this society which discriminates against girl children," she says.
Punjab has one of India's most skewed sex ratios and the percentage of women in the state's population keeps dipping every year (especially among the educated and higher strata of society) – for more information, click here to read statistics on women and children in India.
However with women like Prakash Kaur, there is a lot of hope for Punjab and the rest of India.

The situation around Eastern Ghouta continuous to be intense due to the regular mortar shells of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham and Faylaq Al-Rahman militants. At the same time, snipers to prevent the civilians from fleeing Eastern Ghouta to Damascus daily fire the humanitarian corridors.
Moreover, for the second time in the past two days, the jihadist of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham and Faylaq Al-Rahman attempted to return the ground they lost to the Syrian Arab Army in the Harasta suburb.
According to a local source, this assault was unsuccessful, and the militants suffered heavy losses. Tens of jihadists were killed and several military vehicles were destroyed.
He also stated that the brutalities of illegal armed groups, which are directly supported by some Western countries against civilians over the past seven years, have reached its critical point.
"These actions are posing a serious threat to world peace and security", the Iranian diplomat added.
At the same time, during the press conference on March 3, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that the large-scale military operation against various terrorist organizations in Eastern Ghouta had become necessary and inevitable step as the jihadists continued to shell Damascus outskirts. These attacks daily cause numerous civilian casualties.
In conclusion, she highly appreciated the efforts of Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura at Astana peace talks and the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi. According to Zakharova, these platforms are providing the political settlement process in Syria, and actually pushing for peace based on UN Security Council Resolution 2254.
Despite all the attempts of the Western countries to hinder the political process in Syria, and blame the official government for the use of chemical weapons against civilians, the region of Eastern Ghouta will soon be totally liberated.


This is a beef pie, but just as nice made with mutton, hogget or even goat. You don't have to use the marrow bone (you can just cut a hole in the pastry) but this looks much better.
1. Coat the meat with the flour, salt and pepper. Heat the oil and brown the meat a few pieces at a time, removing the cooked pieces to a bowl when they're done. Put the onion, garlic, celery and mustard in the same pan and cook on a low heat until the onion is soft.
2. When the onion mixture is cooked, add it into the bowl with the meat. Return the empty pan to the hob, turn up the heat and pour in half the stout. Let it bubble, scraping all the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Pour the meat and onions into the pan, add the stock, herbs, carrots and all the remaining beer and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour.
4. Roll out the pastry till it's about 50mm thick. Pour the filling into a suitably sized, ovenproof pie dish, add the pastry top and press down round the rim. Cut a hole on top and add in your marrow funnel if using.
5. Trim the edges, brush with egg and bake for 40 minutes till golden brown.


In this ravishing tale of sexual and textual obsession, the young unnamed narrator sets forth from Cambridge on a quest. He is to rescue the subject of his doctoral research, Paul Michel, the brilliant but mad writer, from incarceration in a mental institution in France. What ensues is a drama of terrible intimacy and tenderness played out one hot and humid summer in Paris and in the south of France.
Hallucinating Foucault is a literary thriller that explores with consummate mastery the passionate relationship between reader and writer, between the factual and the fictional, between sanity and madness. In blurring these boundaries, Patricia Duncker has written a novel of astonishing power and beauty.
"A brilliant first novel - dark, romantic and scholarly - about the love between reader and writer, and the attraction that the mad and impossible hold for the sane and orderly."

First State Bank Review
by Chris Thompson Updated August 06, 2019
First State Bank Savings
Minimum Deposit: $100
Solid APYs
Manageable minimum deposits
Savings accounts don't compare well to checking accounts
Interest checking and long-term CD customers in northern Texas
Many of the account options you'll find at First State Bank are beneficial. But in order to get the most out of its perks, it's best to use the bank for its long-term CDs, interest checking accounts and some of its savings accounts. These offerings feature some of the best APYs and fee structures of its peers.
The brick and mortar branches of First State Bank are confined to only the northern part of Texas. So if you live elsewhere in the state, you may find similar banking choices closer to you. However, if having consistent and easy access to plenty of ATMs is important to you, this bank belongs to the PULSE and Visa Plus ATM networks.
Product Key Details
Good interest rates
Easily met monthly fee waiver requirements
Low minimum deposit
Multiple rewards checking options
High checking interest rates
Senior and children accounts available
Bonus benefit packages
Money Market Accounts (MMAs)
Base and high interest accounts
High monthly fees
Best rates on long term accounts
Wide range of terms
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
Solid long-term interest rates
Roth and traditional options
First State Bank Interest Rate Comparison
First State Bank Overview
No bank has been around in Texas longer than First State Bank, as it was founded in 1905 in Gainesville. Overall, the bank runs 12 branches throughout the state and has bought out a few other smaller banks over the years to create the network it has today.
First State Bank Personal Savings Account
Key Features Details
Access to Your Account Branches, online, mobile & ATMs
Security FDIC insurance up to the maximum amount allowed by law
Fees $4.95 monthly service fee; waivable by maintaining a $250 daily account balance
Current Terms and Rates 0.20% APY
The Personal Savings account at First State Bank is its standard savings option. The account comes paired with a decent 0.20% APY and just an $100 minimum opening deposit. However, to get the full savings benefit of the account, it's imperative to avoid the $4.95 quarterly service fee. In order to do that, be sure to keep your account balance above $250 each statement cycle.
Parents who want their children to begin learning about the ins-and-outs of banking can open a Minor Savings account for them. It only takes $25 to open one of these accounts, and a 0.25% APY is included. Because of the lack of monthly and quarterly service fees, the money your child saves will stay in his or her pocket, though interest is compounded quarterly as opposed to the more common practice of daily compounding.
When the holidays roll around, there can be plenty of financial stress the accompanies them. First State Bank's Christmas Club savings account attempts to aid those who find themselves in this predicament by offering a place to save for gift purchases throughout the year. You can set up automatic money transfers from either your existing internal savings or checking account, and a check will arrive in the middle of October for what you've saved.
Compare First State Bank to Other Competitive Offers
First State Bank Reward Checking Account
Fees None
If you're looking for a simple checking experience, the First State Bank Choice Checking account is the way to go. The account will not earn interest, but there are no monthly fees. You'll also gain access to online banking, complete with bill pay, as well as the bank's mobile app and remote check deposit. To help with debit card fraud, the bank allows account holders to sign up for SpyLink card protection. The Interest Checking account at First State offers all the same benefits, just with an APY of 0.15% on all balances.
For anyone that wants to get in on even better interest rates, First State created the Reward Checking and Reward Checking 2 accounts. Although largely similar, these two accounts differ in one major area: interest rates. For the Reward Checking account, a 0.60% APY applies to accounts with up to a $20,000 balance, while any balances above that mark receive a diminished 0.20% APY. The same general policy applies to the Rewards Checking 2 account, only with a 1.10% APY on $0 to $20,000 balances and a 0.20% APY on anything above that amount. Each of these will also refund account holders the fee charges of any out-of-network ATMs.
Like the Minor Savings account teaches younger people to save, the #StudentFirstAccount at First State Bank helps to form daily money management habits, such as learning how to use a debit card, withdraw money and track account balances. This is not an interest-bearing checking account.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Senior Checking account is for anyone 62 or older. Free checks and a Visa debit card are featured with this account, but if you want to get personalized checks, the bank offers a 50% discount.
First State Bank offers bonus benefit packages with some of its checking accounts. The most basic extras are part of the Silver package ($2.95/month), which comes with accidental death insurance and check images mailed with paper statements. The Gold package ($4.95/month) incorporates everything the Silver option does, but adds in a 50% discount on personal checks and fraud recovery services. Platinum package ($9.95/month) holders get even more, including free cashier's checks, money orders and personalized checks, no out-of-network ATM fees and more.
First State Bank VIP Money Market Account
Fees $16 monthly service fee; waivable by maintaining a $2,500 minimum daily balance
Current Terms and Rates
Rates tiered based on account balance:
$10,000 - $25,000: 0.25% APY
$25,000 and up: 0.30% APY
Money market accounts (MMAs) often require high opening deposits and high monthly service fees if you do not meet certain stipulations. First State Bank is no different, with solid interest rates to back up the above demands.
The bank's base Money Market account receives a flat 0.35% APY on a minimum opening deposit of $100. On the other hand, the VIP Money Market account features tiered rates from 0.40% to 0.50%. To get the best rates though, your balance will need to reach the $100,000 mark. To get the chance to earn a higher APY, the VIP MMA requires a significant balance of $5,000 to waive its $20 monthly fee, whereas the standard MMA asks for just $2,500 to do the same for its $16 monthly fee.
First State Bank CDs
Minimum Deposit $1,000
Access to Your Account Branches, online & mobile
Rates tiered based on term length:
1-month: 0.30% APY
12-month: 0.75% APY
All 11 certificates of deposit (CDs) at First State Bank have a minimum opening deposit of $1,000. Although there's no reason to be upset with the APYs at this bank, the year-long account and every other one beneath it have an interest rate lower than 1.00%, which really doesn't leave much of a chance for solid growth. However, with terms as short as one month and as long as four years, prospective CD customers have an awful lot of choice to select an account best suited for them.
First State Bank IRAs
There are two types of individual retirement accounts (IRAs) available at First State Bank: Roth and traditional accounts. This isn't an uncommon offering, but the bank's willingness to aid customers in rolling over a past IRA into a new one is rather rare.
When it comes to choosing an IRA, you simply need to decide if you'd like to pay federal income taxes upfront on the money you save, or if you want to hold that off until you begin receiving payments in retirement. Should the former be something you're interested in, a Roth IRA will be ideal, while a traditional IRA would best fit fans of the latter tax plan.
Where Can I Find First State Bank?
First State Bank has a 12 branches located across northern Texas, with Gainesville, Denton, Valley View, Muenster, Roanoke, Saint Jo and Decatur specifically home to locations. Aside from the small number of First State Bank-run ATMs in the Lone Star State, cardholders also receive fee-free access to the PULSE and Visa Plus ATM networks, which combine for well over one million machines.
What Can You Do Online With First State Bank?
Customer reviews from the Apple and Android app stores combine to rate First State Bank's mobile app at nearly five stars. This is extremely rare, especially for a non-national bank, but the many features that it includes seem to illustrate why it has been so well received. You can check up on your account balances and transaction histories, locate a branch or fee-free ATM, deposit a check remotely, set up bill pay and transfer funds between your in-house accounts.
As solid as the mobile experience at First State comes off, its online banking benefits might be even better. Aside from mobile check deposit and an ATM locator, it offers more detailed views of your transaction histories, stop payment requests, inter-account transfers for loan payments, check image archives and more. If you use Quicken or another financial management software, the website can import all your data right to the program. It also comes with its own similar proprietary software.
How Do I Access My Money?
Consistently withdrawing money from a branch location has become outdated in today's financial world because of the inconsistent times and places that many customers need cash. First State Bank has partnered with the Visa Plus and PULSE ATM networks to afford those who bank with them plenty of access to an ATM, whether they're in Texas or anywhere else in the country. Visa debit cards are included with most accounts at the bank, allowing you to swipe your card directly for cash.
If you just want to keep an eye on your balances and recent transactions, the online and mobile banking app and website are the place to go. You can look over images of your deposited checks through these platforms, and even make a deposit remotely.
How Can I Save More Money With a First State Bank Account?
When it comes to savings accounts, interest checking accounts and long-term CDs, First State Bank offers good interest rates. This alone will help customers financially gain more from a relationship with the bank, especially if you can manage to meet the minimum requirements to waive monthly service fees. These charges are typically low to begin with, it won't take much to avoid them.
What's the Process For Opening an Account With First State Bank?
First State Bank currently utilizes an online application system that allows prospective and existing customers the chance to open a new account at their own pace and whenever they want. The bank has a customer service hotline and online callback form available as well if you'd rather speak to a representative. As always, visiting a branch is a perfectly feasible option too.
Unless you want a savings account for your child or a Christmas Club account, there's only one personal savings account option at First State Bank. Although MMAs are technically categorized as part of the savings group, its expensive monthly fees and high fee waiver stipulations will definitely scare off some customers.
First State Bank's branch reach is much smaller than most other large banks, which is downside, but for those with branches nearby, this is something of a diamond in the rough. Many of its products include fantastic interest rates and low minimum opening deposits. Furthermore, the demonstrated strength of its mobile app and online banking website increase the likelihood of a successful relationship with customers.


How is my loved ones health monitored, and how do you know if something is wrong with them?
Most facilities will tell you things like they check on the residents often, and they have a nurse on staff or on duty, etc. These aren't the answers that you are looking for. In a facility that focuses on quality, you want answers the explain their documentation process, and their communication process. When it comes to issues in a facility, the majority of things that happen could have been prevented (or been less serious) if the communication was better from shift to shift, and from staff to management. Most facilities are still doing shift notes on paper (if they are doing them at all). This leaves open the possibility that important notes will be lost, go unnoticed, or be completely ignored, and that puts your loved ones health in jeopardy. The other things that you want to hear are that the staff actually gets to know the residents, and because of that, they are generally able to tell when someone is not being themselves. It's hard to play "catch up" with a senior. Being proactive is far more effective, and in order to do that, you need staff who cares, monitors, and reports any changes in health, attitude, mood, etc. These are the important things to look for (plus many more that we share with our members).
2. How many staff do you have on duty for each shift, and how many residents are they responsible for?
You would be surprised how often we run into facilities who have no idea how to care for someone with dementia or Alzheimer's. Also, facilities may say that they can handle that type of care, but clarify with them why they feel that way. Do they train their staff specifically for that type of care? How do they handle combative episodes? How about wandering? How about refusing to eat? Ask specific questions. Again, this is on our worksheet, and we review the answers given with our members and explain to them which answers are acceptable and which aren't. If your loved one has dementia, you need an expert facility to handle their care.
4. How do the costs work? Is it an all-inclusive price, or do we get charged extras?
These days almost every facility it seems has a multi-tiered pricing structure. You'll pay one price for rent, and then another price for care, based on the level of care they think your loved one will fall into. A structure like this is fine as long as you understand specifically what causes a raise in level, and then how increases are handled. Personally, I'm a believer in all-inclusive pricing. That way you know exactly how much you will pay every single month. Watch out for facilities who charge extras for things like brief changes, showers, helping them eat, companionship, etc. Most of the time this is done in an independent living facility who is attempting to keep the resident in their apartment, and will nickel and dime the person for "care". But even true assisted living facilities at times will charge a lot of extras for simple things. The more information that you have about pricing, the easier it is to plan for today and the future. Ask a lot of questions and make sure that you find out every potential charge that may come into play. You will also want to know the cost specifically for the day of move-in. Make sure that they aren't just giving you a care price for one month to get you in the door, and then they will raise it in the second month. This happens all the time as well. Just be diligent, and careful.
5. What are the reasons that my loved one would have to move out?
This question is designed to find out how much care this facility can handle. It should be your goal to find a place that will allow your loved one to (safely) age in place. But you need to make sure that is possible by specifically looking at the discharge policy for the facility. What are the reasons they could be asked to leave? What kind of notice would you be given? How does that work? Make sure you know these answers before you commit. Stability is everything to a senior!

This is very very late - but it was still a cute idea I thought some of you might enjoy! My Mom was here for Mother's Day and I saw this adorable idea via the Crafty Crow. Hers were made into magnets and I didn't have any peel and stick magnets - so came up with this variation instead.
We did all the hand prints - a different color for each child. Then I covered in contact paper and cut out. I put some floral foam in the bottom of a tall yogurt container and covered the outside with scrapbook paper and a ribbon. I cut green stems out and laminated them as well. Then, a little hot glue to add sticks (from yard) to the hand prints and we were all set!
To cover the foam, I stuck some Ghiradelli chocolates in (freebies from Staples)! And, here we are before Church on Mother's Day!
Labels: celebrate, create, love

I love this idea! I may definately use this in my preschool classroom either for Grandparents day or Mother's Day. ~ thanks for sharing!
Mom said...
Thank you for this bouquet which is now on top of my refrigerator. :) The chocolates are gone and were quite yummy. :) It was special to spend Mother's Day with you and your sweet family. Love you! Mom

Thank you for visiting us at Grand Designs!
We would like to thank everyone who visited us at the Grand Designs Live Show 2017 in the ExCel Centre. It was a huge success!
We are already looking forward to meeting even more of you next year!


Blossom: Welcome my friends. I have been wondering what today's conversation shall entail. Although, if I may … there are a couple of things I would like to address on behalf of some readers who have asked me to ask you about Comet Ison. Now I personally really know nothing much at all regarding where it is heading, so therefore have no idea where this conversation is heading either … Is that ok? Over to you if I may?
The Federation of Light: Firstly we welcome you also. There is much Love and excitement still within and around your planet … which we should also care to address. Yet to comment on the comet. You are quite correct Blossom in your replies to these souls who inquire. If indeed there was to be an up and coming 'mishap' with this travelling object … do you not think we would have addressed if before now?
For in this circumstance we can categorically state that there shall be no harm 'sent' toward your planet as it draws closer to your sacred sun. If one chooses to be of concern we ask them to let go of the fear around the matter. Again … what does one choose to focus upon? And we would care to comment also … that along with so many 'proposals' of Earth's Eventualities … the idea that it shall cause a great deal of destruction to your Mother Earth is simply another fear mongering tactic.
Blossom: Yet a certain gentleman that has written in and looked into the matter greatly would disagree as 'signs show' that this indeed could be the case according to certain astronomers etc. and that the Truth about it is once again being hidden and in fact there is every possibility that we are doomed. Please note … these are not my thoughts or feelings … I am just passing the message on from concerned souls.
The Federation of Light: Dearest souls … How one has so struggled with emotional upheaval concerning many many matters as you walk 'with Grace and ease' into the NEW WORLD!
We have stated before and we shall continue to do so … in order to move into a NEW WORLD … the one that you upon Earth and all that are not … created long ago … would you not consider it to be a rather 'ridiculous' plan … to have the end of one age that is to be proceeded by a Golden One to finish in massive death … destruction and chaos?
We ask you to seriously THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT!!!
How much gloom and doom have you been fed for breakfast, lunch and dinner??
How much more do you choose to be fed?
Have you … our dearest friends … not had your fill?
Are you Beings of Light not sufficiently stuffed with that which goes totally against the grain?
When dearest souls of planet Earth will you stop to consider that which you are considering?
YOU ARE LOVE … HAS THIS NOT SUNK IN BY NOW?
Blossom: I have to stop you there as I have a huge grin on my face … for I really feel a different energy with you … one with so much humour.
The Federation of Light: We thought perhaps a different way of Lightness may assist one to 'GET IT'!
We urge you … we implore you … STOP THE FEAR!
STOP THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANYTHING AT ALL THAT IS NOT OF LOVE.
TAKE NOT ONE JOT OF NOTICE OF WHAT IS BEING SAID … IF IT IS NOT BEING SAID IN/THROUGH/OF LOVE.
We are aware of comments that some have written to you Blossom … asking us to become more interesting for we 'apparently' are very boring when we continue to speak of this matter … This subject … LOVE.
Yet … we shall not stop. We shall never stop … until of course each one has 'GOT IT '.
Until each one realises that when you soak up one iota of fear … you create the next iota of it!
MOVE ON into the place of easiness … the place that makes you smile.
STOP … STOP … STOP … WORRYING about this and that and whether or not it will or will not happen.
LEARN … right now this minute … that ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SMILE!
Not from your mouth … from your heart … When your heart is smiling because you FEEL of/in/as Love then you have 'GOT IT'.
You will realise that there is nothing else to do!
How quickly would your world turn around when rid of the energy of worrying about this and that and the other and then some more of the same?
Say what you want to say Blossom?
Blossom: There's no hiding from you is there? Well, ok then. In all TRUTH … sometimes 'I worry' that maybe there is no Event! What if … once again … we are all hyped up over the next few months and … Nothing … Nada … I mean … where does that leave us?
The Federation of Light: We would imagine worrying? Are we correct?
Blossom: Ha! Not if we heeded your words and were not of the worrying sort anymore.
The Federation of Light: What if … as of this moment … this very second … each one of you decided to stop worrying … about LIFE?
Do you think when you agreed to come down to Earth … TO BE HERE FOR THIS INCREDIBLE TRANSFERENCE you all had a meeting and decided you would probably benefit if you spent your entire life worrying whether or not something was or wasn't going to happen?
Yet BEING THE INTELLIGENT BEINGS THAT YOU ARE … it is far more likely that you held a mass meeting and decided that as volunteers that had been chosen … you might as well put your heads together and BRING ABOUT THIS CHANGE IN THE MOST GLORIOUS OF WAYS … THE MOST GLORIOUS OF SETTINGS.
You were the ones who decided about all this long ago … Let's not forget that!
It would have been rather out of favour would it not … to have decided for it all to end really really REALLY disastrously and then those 'left over' would do the best they can to pick up the pieces and TRY and start all over again?
Remove this humdrum activity of your lives out of your mindsets.
SERIOUSLY! SERIOUSLY! SERIOUSLY think about this.
Why would you do such a thing? Why would you choose for it all to end badly?
Yet you have fallen into the mire of despair and have chosen to believe that which the mire of despair offers … and cheap at half the price.
LISTEN TO WHAT YOU ARE ATTUNING TO … DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE TO THE INTELLIGENT BEINGS THAT YOU ARE?
Blossom: Oh and so am I … I can't write quick enough ….
The Federation of Light: Listen up … and listen up good!
STOP WORRYING about whether or not THE EVENT is going to happen!
Stop worrying about WHEN it is going to happen.
Why worry? Either way … whether it will or won't take place … Do you think worrying will make the difference as to whether it does or it doesn't?
BE FREE FROM IT ALL.
ALLOW YOUR HEARTS TO KNOW THAT IT WILL.
FOR YOUR HEARTS DO KNOW THIS … DO THEY NOT?
Blossom: Well as I have said many times before … yes my heart knows it. It just doesn't know when … and little point in 'geeing us up' once again … if the 'when' is not going to be for another 50 years or so!
The Federation of Light: Would that not be a little out of sorts for us to use the words imminent therefore?
When you say "All is well …" are we to assume that this also means for the masses of people who are not aware of the imminent Event? In other words, are you satisfied that only a miniscule number of people have been apprised worldwide? No religious body and very few spiritual sources speak of such a happening … Are we correct to conclude that the element of surprise in this case is not such a bad thing?
The Federation of Light: We would answer this by saying that although you are 'assuming' many are unaware of it … this is not necessarily the case on a deeper level of the self.
The fact is … that every one of the souls on this planet KNOWS that The Event is to take place … for each one agreed to be here at this time. As to whether or not they choose to be aware of it on the human aspect of their soul self that resides on Planet Earth at this time … is another matter.
Yet we express that WHEN THE EVENT OCCURS … Each one will have a recognition of TRUTH within the deepest place of their soul.
The recognition shall be felt for some as if they once dreamt it … or perhaps even a déjà vu … perhaps some will INSTANTANEOUSLY change from the ogre to the prince.
As we have said and White Cloud has concurred … that it shall be too … that some souls shall leave their physicality … their human form … in that time … for the revelation shall cause their heart to stop beating … and some …. shall literally forget to breath . Yet NO-ONE shall miss out on the GLORY. Not one soul shall 'miss the boat'.
The Federation of Light: And we should reply … 'Like it or not … they are your sisters and your brothers '.
Blossom: Well … to be honest … your answer didn't surprise me … for in TRUTH … We are all One … The good … the bad … and the ugly!
The Federation of Light: Yet … this is not to say … that suddenly all misgivings shall be instantly removed from the souls 'field'. There is still Divine Law in place … and we would say in a way of kindness … 'YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW'. There is no escape from this.
Yet as we have spoken of before … ALL IS NOT AS IT SEEMS … and we would add … in many many cases.
Blossom: So to sum it all up … your theme song for the day would be 'Don't worry … be happy'?
The Federation of Light: Not just for the day dearest friends … Always.
LET GO … AND KNOW!
Blossom: Wow that hour went so fast … as did my typing … a lot of typos to correct I expect!
Thoroughly enjoyable … Thank you so much … In Love Light … and as they here in Australia … No worries mate!!

Horse euthanized after training breakdown at Del Mar
DEL MAR, Calif. (AP) -- A 3-year-old gelding that suffered a breakdown in a workout at Del Mar has been euthanized, the fifth horse to die during the fall meet that ends Sunday.
Trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer, Koa was euthanized on Saturday. He had three wins in 10 career starts and earnings of $95,860 for owner Michael Stinson, according to Equibase. Koa finished second in his last start on Nov. 14 at Del Mar.
Hollendorfer was the trainer with the most deaths (four) among 37 since last December at Santa Anita.
The Stronach Group, owners of Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields, banned Hollendorfer from its racetracks, while Del Mar lost a court decision in July when it tried to prevent him from entering races during its summer meet.
Since Del Mar's fall meet began on Nov. 8, two horses were euthanized after being injured while racing, one died from complications after surgery for injuries during a race and one had an apparent heart attack after training at the seaside track north of San Diego.
Santa Anita opens its winter-spring meet on Dec. 26.
