More than €165 million has been wiped off the value of Irish Continental Group since last October, writes Richard Cantillon in the Irish Times. The article has to be seen in the context of the absence of ULYSSES, which has technical issues, and the costs caused by the delay of newbuilding W.B. YEATS.
However, in the bigger picture, the fleet issues are relatively minor.

Base metals are the major industrial non-ferrous metals other than precious metals and minor. Specifically, they are aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc. All six are traded on the London Metal Exchange (LME), which is the principal global marketplace for base metals accounting for abot 80% of global trade. The main exchange in China is the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), where aluminium, copper, lead and zinc are traded, while copper is also traded on the New York Commodity Exchange (Comex).
Prices are governed by the interaction between supply and demand fundamentals and the flow of investment and speculative capital into and out of the market.
The base metals' major applications are found in industries such as automotive and transport, building and construction, intrastructure, electrical and electronics, packaging, consumer goods and batteries.
Traditional markets in Europe, the USA and Japan are still important, but have been overtaken by China during the last 10 years, which now accounts for around 40% of global production and consumption of each base metal.
Types of Base Metal
1. Aluminium
A light and durable metal that is easily rolled, extruded and recycled, aluminium is produced from bauxite via an intermediate product, alumina. Four tonnes of bauxite yields approximately two tonnes of alumina, which in turn results in about one tonne of primary aluminium out of the smelter gate. Several other ingredients are needed, but energy is the main input and most of this is consumed as electricity at the smelting stage to convert alumina to metal. It is because of the significant energy needs that primary aluminium production has increasingly gravitated towards regions of low energy cost rather than to where the metal is most needed – for example Japan, a major aluminium consumer, today has negligible smelting capacity, whereas the Middle East has established itself as a major primary aluminium production centre over the past decade. With aluminium prices tending to trade around the marginal cost of production in recent years, higher cost smelters remain under pressure.
The global aluminium market has been in a supply surplus since 2007, but excess material has been stored in financing and rent deals in warehouses, effectively keeping availability tight and elevating premiums to record high levels. However, increased regulatory scrutiny of the warehouse industry in 2013 has put premiums on a downward trajectory
2. Copper
The most conductive – both electrically and thermally – of all the commonly available metals, copper is produced from sulphide or oxide ores typically from large open cast mines. Sulphide ores are concentrated, smelted and refined into cathode, while oxide ores can be heap-leached to produce cathode via the solvent-extraction, electowinning (SX-EW) process.
Major copper mining regions are found in the south western USA and Latin America, where Chile alone accounts for about one third of global output. The largest copper mining company in the world is Chilean state-owned producer Codelco, while the largest mine in the world is Escondida, also in Chile, but operated by global resources giant BHP Billiton. In contrast to the main centre of global copper mine production, the key region for refined copper production is Asia, led by China. The region is a major importer of concentrate and scrap.
The copper market has faced a decade of structural supply shortages created by a combination of underinvestment in new mines and a propensity for unplanned disruptions, which coincided with China's demand boom. This underpinned high prices and a wave on fresh investments in new and expanded mining capacity. However, 2012 marked a transition to what should a new era of relatively ample supply as new projects come on line at the same time as economic growth in China and the developing world stabilises.
3. Lead
Mined principally from ores often associated with zinc and silver, lead is a dense, ductile, low strength metal that has seen its range of industrial applications decline in recent decades in the face of environmental and health concerns, and this will continue. Currently, as much as 80% of lead produced in the world finds its way into the lead-acid storage battery market, the majority of which are used in the vehicles, but also in emergency back-up power systems and other industrial applications such as remote access power systems.
The growth of China's automotive market over the past decade into the largest in the world has been a major driver of lead demand growth, and the explosion in popularity of electric bicycles (e-bikes) has boosted usage rates further. Lead is also still used to a small degree in the glass and plastics industries, for radiation shielding and cable sheathing.
Lead has the highest recycling rate of all the base metals, with more than 60% of production in the Western World coming from recycling, primarily of spent lead-acid batteries. The ratio is closer to 40% in China, which suggests that there is great potential for growth in secondary production in this country as environmental and recycling standards catch up to those of the West.
4. Nickel
Rarely visible in its pure form in modern life, nickel's principal applications are through its performance as a nickel-rich alloy or through the properties it bestows on other metals as an alloying addition. Nickel-bearing alloys, with their high temperature performance, are crucial to the design of modern aircraft engines and the metal is also vitally important in stainless steel production – a sector that accounts for about two-thirds of all nickel usage.
Nickel ores fall into three types: nickel-copper sulphides, laterites and silicates, with processing methods different for each type. The sulphide ores, of which Canadian, Russian and Australian deposits are best known, are concentrates and refined into high-purity metal, usually producing copper and platinum group metals en-route. Other ores, largely mined in Indonesia, New Caledonia, the Philippines, Cuba, Brazil and Colombia, have a high iron content and are a natural feed for producing ferro-nickel or nickel pig iron (NPI) for the steel industry.
New sulphide deposits are far and far between, leaving the future of the nickel industry increasingly dependent upon laterites. In recent years, the new generation of nickel laterite-based mega projects – employing pressure acid leaching or ferro-nickel smelting – have proved to be capital intensive and technologically challenging, leading to lengthy commissioning and ramp-up delays and even project suspensions. The void has been filled by a boom in NPI production in China, but the nickel market is now characterised by major oversupply.
5. Tin
The only tin ore with economic value is cassiterite. It is found in hard-rock deposits in quartz veins or in the eroded remnants of these orebodies that have been re-concentrated in alluvial or eluvial deposits in riverbeds or offshore. Hardrock mining has gradually lost ground to more cost-effective gravel pumps and dredging operations, with Indonesia and China the main centres of modern ore production.
The tin market is arguably the fundamentally tightest of all the base metals, and this is mainly a function of the supply side, due to a lack of investment in exploration and project development in recent decades, tightening environmental regulations in China and Indonesia, unrest in the DRC and declining ore grades in Peru. Tin prices will need to remain high in order to incentivise new investments in the coming years.
On the demand side, about half of all tin produced goes into the manufacture of solder for the electronics industry. Tinplate and plastics are the next most important sectors for tin usages, but the metal also finds applications in glassmaking and fire retardants.
Zinc's greatest property lies in acting as a protector for other substrates, especially steel. Zinc-coated steels – using mainly the continuous hot-dip galvanising method on sheet or wire – now absorb just over half of all zinc produced. When alloyed with copper, a series of brasses provides for the second-largest offtake of zinc, and this has overtaken the diecast sector in volume terms.
Geologically, zinc ore mainly takes the form of sphalerite and commonly occurs with lead, silver and copper ores in polymetallic deposits. Ore is concentrated and refined and China has grown to be the largest producer in the world of mined and refined zinc. It is also the largest consumer.
The zinc market has been in structural oversupply since 2007, but the closure of a number of major mines due to reserve exhaustion during the 2012-2016 period (such as Brunswick and Perseverance in Canada, Lisheen in Ireland and Century in Australia) should see supply tighten up, though not to the extent that supply deficits become commonplace. Therefore, zinc is expected to remain lower priced than its sister metal lead, which is a fundamentally tighter market.

The Encyclopedia of Jewish Women
How did you decide whom to include in the current edition of the Encylopedia?
It was the editors' vision to embrace the whole Jewish world and all of Jewish culture from the Hebrew Bible to the present. Recognizing that any selection process is subjective, the articles focus, with a few exceptions, on deceased women and living women age 50 or above. For more on the selection process, see the Editors' Preface.
Who made the selections?
The co-editors, Professors Paula E. Hyman of Yale and Dalia Ofer of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, with the assistance of an Editorial Board made up of 20 distinguished scholars, made the selections for the 2006 edition. For the upcoming new edition, decisions about new entries are being made by editor Jennifer Sartori, the current Editorial Board, and JWA staff.
How did you determine whether or not someone was Jewish?
The editors did not limit themselves to a traditional halakhic (legal) definition of who is a Jew. Any woman who had a Jewish parent, who converted to Judaism, and/or who self-identified as Jewish was eligible for inclusion.
Why are there articles on men in an encyclopedia on Jewish women?
The editors and publishers decided, after much discussion, to include a few religious leaders whose views influenced the status of women in various sectors of the Jewish community.
How do I point out what I believe is an error in the text?
You can use the "discuss" form at the bottom of each article to let us know of any errors. Please include information that will enable us to make corrections, including references.
What if I disagree with something in an article?

A trilby is a narrow-brimmed type of hat. describes the trilby as having a "shorter brim which is angled down at the front and slightly turned up at the back" compared to the fedora's "wider brim which is more level".
Trilby as a girl's name is of Italian origin meaning "sings with trills".
Unlike the fedora, which has a movable, or "snap" brim, the trilby is made so that the brim is permanently fixed down, and usually the brim is set at a much more severe angle than the fedora.
A fedora /fɪˈdɔːrə/ is a hat with a soft brim and indented crown. It is typically creased lengthwise down the crown and "pinched" near the front on both sides. Stitched edge means that there is one, two, or more rows of stitching radiating inward toward the crown.
Fedora as a girl's name is of Greek origin and a variant of Theodora meaning "gift from God".

Theresa May To Jeremy Corbyn: Drop 'Impossible' Demand Of Ruling Out A No Deal Brexit
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, and Theresa May, the British Prime Minister, are at loggerheads after May refused to give in to the "impossible condition" of the Labour Party of ruling out the possibility of a no deal Brexit.
In a letter that was addressed to the Labour leader, the Prime Minister urged her opposite number to drop the demand – which is the precondition of Corbyn for any cross-party discussions on breaking the Brexit deadlock.
The Labour leader has also urged his MPs to refuse negotiations with the UK government until May decides to backs down.
Labour MPs who met with ministers on Thursday – including Hilary Benn, Stephen Kinnock, and Yvette Cooper – also informed the government that a no deal scenario is necessary to be ruled out before negotiations could continue, a position that echoed by Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP leader.
Last night, May insisted that it was not within her power to make such a promise, as the only way to avoid a no deal scenario is to reach an agreement with the European Union or stop Brexit entirely.
In her letter to Corbyn, PM May also claimed that it would not be possible to extend the negotiating process of Article 50, as that would need the agreement of the bloc.
She stated: "You have always believed in the importance of dialogue in politics. Do you really believe that as well as declining to meet for talks yourself, it is right to ask your MPs not to seek a solution with the government?"
Last Tuesday, the Brexit deal of PM May was defeated by a record 230 votes in the Commons and after surviving a confidence vote a day after, the Prime Minister set out plans to hold discussions with opposition leaders.
Downing Street confirmed that the PM is holding on to her principles that any Brexit deal must see the United Kingdom having its own independent trade policy, therefore ruling out membership of a customs union with the bloc.
May has cancelled the scheduled trip to Davos next week as she tries to pull together a plan which would have the support of a majority of MPs.
As a response to her letter, a spokesperson for the Labour party dismissed the plea for discussions, stating: "The Prime Minister is in denial about the consequences of the scale of the defeat of her deal on Monday. To win support in parliament, any new deal must ditch her red lines."
He added: "As opposition MPs who have met with the government today have discovered, the Prime Minister is not yet prepared for serious talks to find a way forward. The starting point for any talks must be that she commits to rule out no deal."
PM May is set to inform the Commons of her 'plan B' on Monday. The MPs will get to vote on the proposal on the 29th of January.

Fear the Walking Dead Preview: The End is the Beginning- of the End?
Posted on November 21, 2020 | by Ray Flook | Comments
AMC's Fear the Walking Dead is charging headlong into its midseason finale this weekend while riding a creative rebirth that's being noticed by viewers and critics alike- and things don't appear to be letting up any time soon. With Sunday night's "Damage from the Inside," things couldn't be tenser as Ginny (Colby Minifie) and Morgan (Lennie James) appear to be facing a common and very deadly foe: those "The End is the Beginning" folks (that really do have a CRM-like quality to them). In this chapter, Strand (Colman Domingo) sends Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) on a mission to find Dakota (Zoe Colletti)- who we see ends up with someone named Ed (Raphael Sbarge) from the preview images and promo (neither of which leaves us with good vibes about Ed).
The Opening Minutes of 'Damage from the Inside' Ep. 607 | Fear the Walking Dead
In the following look at the opening minutes to the midseason finale, we learn that there's definitely some deep sisterly backstory between Dakota and Virginia- so much so that we're left questioning the meaning of the episode. Is Strand the one who's going to damage Ginny's world from within- or will it be Dakota? Maybe someone should check her for spray paint cans…
In this previously-released preview, things weren't starting off on a good note with Alicia not particularly interested in hearing anything Strand had to say considering how he left her "Strand-ed":
Fear the Walking Dead season 6, episode 7 "Damage from the Inside": Strand sends Alicia and Charlie on a mission to look for Dakota. Written by Jacob Pinion.
Season six of Fear the Walking Dead explores what has become of the unlikely family once united by a mission to help those in need. After being torn apart by Virginia (Colby Minifie) and her Pioneers, the group is now dispersed across her far-reaching settlements. Morgan's (Lennie James) last message at the end of season five implored the group to "Live" and this season we'll see what that means to each of them. Some will find the stability and opportunity within Virginia's communities to be intriguing, some will sink into darkness, while others will fight back against what has been forced upon them. Life behind Virginia's walls will test each and every one of them in different ways, forcing them to define who they are in this new world.
AMC's Fear the Walking Dead stars Lennie James as Morgan Jones, Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia Clark, Maggie Grace as Althea "Al" Szewczyk-Przygocki, Colman Domingo as Victor Strand, Danay García as Luciana Galvez, Garret Dillahunt as John Dorie, Alexa Nisenson as Charlie, Jenna Elfman as June, Rubén Blades as Daniel Salazar, Karen David as Grace, Austin Amelio as Dwight, Mo Collins as Sarah Rabinowitz, Colby Hollman as Wes, and Zoe Colletti as Dakota. Colby Minifie (Virginia) and Christine Evangelista (Sherry) also star.

Yes, Peter Frampton tour adds more co-headlining concert dates for summer
Tours April 7, 2010 By Allison Reitz
Tour Dates Secondary658 Yes20
This summer will see a new prog-rock partnership when Yes and Peter Frampton hit the pavement for a co-headlining tour of the United States....
This summer will see a new prog-rock partnership when Yes and Peter Frampton hit the pavement for a co-headlining tour of the United States.
The veteran performers had previously announced just a handful of dates for the trek, including a July 2 performance on the classic rock stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI. But with a dozen recent additions to the calendar, they'll now be on the road from June 8 at Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, FL, through July 15 at Snoqualmie Casino in Snoqualmie, WA.
The five-week routing includes engagements on June 15 at Tower Theatre in Upper Darby, PA; June 26 at Nikon at Jones Beach theater in Wantagh, NY; and July 11 at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA. Yes and Frampton are expected to announced a few more dates to round out their run to 25 cities.
Tickets are already on sale for select tour stops, and some shows are still awaiting onsale dates and times. However, a number of concert markets have public onsales coming up over the April 9-10 weekend. More details are available on Yes' official Web site.
Both the veteran band and rocker are co-headliners on the billing, though Yes' site lists them as the closing act for all but one night of the tour, a free July 4 show at Lake Forest Venue in Blue Ash, OH.
In fall 2008, Yes ignited controversy when it announced plans to tour with a replacement for singer Jon Anderson, who was temporarily barred from touring due to health concerns. Tribute band singer Benoit David was confirmed as the stand-in, and will continue to provide vocals for his veteran companions on the upcoming summer 2010 tour.
Most recently, Yes co-headlined a summer 2009 tour with Asia, with guitarist Steve Howe splitting his stage time with both prog-rock bands.
According to Frampton's official Web site, the summer concerts will run over three hours each night. While both acts will focus on their classic hits, Frampton will also be supporting his upcoming "Thank You Mr. Churchill," due April 27. Yes' most recent studio album was the 2001 effort "Magnification," though the band has released several live and compilation discs since then.

In my dreams I met a girl somewhere down the river.
She took me to an ancient house.
She looked young but also wise.
She was both dead and alive.
And I could see the ravines fly.
In the house of silence far from here.
Distant voices coming out of the air.
The house of silence and our tears.
Shadows dancing for a hundred years.
I saw her speak but couldn't hear.
What the girl was saying.
And sadness filled the misty night.
Then I tried to hold her back while she was slowly fading.
Bitter sweet was her smile.
А как ты думаешь, о чем песня "House Of Silence" ?


Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports the Minnesota Vikings have released DE DeQuincy Scott.
I'm suprised that he didn't make that defense even as a backup DE.
The guy was a pretty good 3rd down pass rusher for us here.
Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Minnesota Vikings are close to signing OT Bryant McKinnie to a seven-year extension worth a minimum of $48.5 million. The signing would give the NFL its first ever $100 million offensive line. McKinnie would get over $18 million in guaranteed money and could earn as much as $53.5 million depending on whether certain incentives are reached.

Karatê Machida é uma variação, uma escola, do estilo Shotokan-ryu de caratê.

Foi criada pelo japonês Yoshizo Machida, faixa preta quarto dan de Aikido e faixa preta oitavo dan de Shotokan. Sensei Machida veio morar no Brasil em 1968 e aqui teve quatro filhos, dentre eles o ex-campeão do UFC na categoria meio-pesado, Lyoto Machida (recordista de melhor cartel no MMA profissional 16-0). Alguns dizem que, por conta de limitações físicas (mais especificamente sua baixa estatura), Yoshizo Machida aperfeiçoou o Shotokan, criando um novo estilo, numa história com muitas semelhanças à criação do Jiu-jitsu brasileiro (ou Gracie Jiu-Jitsu), desenvolvido pelos irmãos Carlos e Hélio Gracie. Todavia, vozes se levantam contra e dizem que se trata de uma homenagem aos feitos da família Machida nos esportes de luta. O Karate Machida é o estilo base que formou o perfil profissional de Lyoto no MMA.
Dentro do Karatê também temos outras modalidades, podemos citar como exemplo, o karatê shotokan,conhecido também como tradicional, que tem algumas diferenças notórias com relação ao olímpico. A base do shotokan é menor, para que o atleta possa ter mais flexibilidade e maior uso do quadril na hora de disferir golpes. Com esta alteração na base, o atleta tem mais estabilidade e exerce mais pressão sobre o solo, obtendo mais equilíbrio e rapidez na técnica utilizada.

I was on top of it this year (unlike usual) and actually did Christmas cards and got them out a week before Christmas. Then on Christmas eve we checked our mailbox and there they all were. Each and every Christmas card had been returned and on the day before Christmas. Apparently no matter how small the square envelope is a square envelope costs twenty one cents more than a regular envelope. Merry Christmas from the United states postal office.
So Im posting my Pictures here. As for what Im going to do with the thirty plus returned Christmas cards that I already paid for... I just don't have the energy to go to the post office and pay a bunch more money to send out two week old Christmas cards. So Im just going to stare at them in my kitchen basket for a while till I eventually use them for fire starters.
At least we got super cute pictures. This has to be the first time in a long time where I didn't have to photoshop swap anyones heads. Woot Woot! Gotta take your wins where you can.
Lesson Learned: Christmas cards are for suckers. Just skip the Christmas card madness and post your pictures to you social media sites. Spend that extra time and energy on other holiday traditions that make you crazy. Or even crazier thought do only Christmas traditions that don't stress you out. Wait... I might have gone to far with that last sentence. I have clinical anxiety. So there is no such thing. If I spent Christmas doing only the things that didn't stress me out I wouldn't have the Christmases I have always dreamed of having, the kinds of Christmas that are worth stressing for.
May 2019 bring your many wonderful opportunities that are worth the work and stress.
Winter is something of a strange dichotomy. On the one hand, it's a long and unforgiving season, while on the other it's a chance to really appreciate the cozy aesthetics of your home. But make no mistake about it, if your home ends up failing you - or you end up failing your home - then you won't get to enjoy anything of the latter, and have to take the brute force of the former for three or four long months.
The trouble is that conditions are bad for us folks, and they are bad for our homes, too. It can turn problems that seem insignificant in the summer to completely disastrous when it gets cold. And holiday season or not, if you get a huge repair or replacement bill, it's enough to give anyone the winter blues. Here are some tips to ensure that the cold weather doesn't affect your at-home coziness while we all wait for the first shoots of spring.
Let's start with something easy. Your gutters will likely be filled with debris from the fall. Unless you clean them out, when rain or snow starts to fall it will collect in your gutter - and once the temperature drops you run the risk of freezing, expanding and leaking everywhere. It might be an unhelpful drip, but it could go unnoticed and end up on the inside of your home, causing damp problems. So, check for blockages and ensure all your drain areas are clear of fallen leaves, moss and other debris.
When winter calls, everyone uses their heating. But few make proper use of the ventilation and air conditioning aspects of HVAC systems. These are incredibly important to ensure you have good quality air to breathe, and also to take humidity out of your home, which could lead to damp. It's also essential for keeping the temperature in your home at a comfortable level. It's a good idea to get in touch with an AC company to give your unit a look between now and spring. They can also tell you exactly how you can use it best during the rest of the winter.
Your home is designed to allow water to drain away from the actual building. But after the fall, there will be be leaves and all kinds of debris on your pathways, causing blockages and potentially creating pools that eventually run back towards the house. It could end up causing damp, and it's also a health and safety issue, especially if the temperature is freezing. Don't expect those leaves to rot away for some time, so clear them up unless you are asking for potential flooding trouble.
A final point - according to research reducing your drafts can save up to 30 percent in energy costs per year. That's an astonishing amount of money that could give you an early start on saving up for next year's Thanksgiving gifts. Use weather stripping and window film and caulk to ensure heat isn't being lost in gaps around your doors, windows and floorboards.
The quickest way to feel the spirit of Christmas in your heart is to serve others. Serve others as much as you can and as often as you can. If you are ever struggling to find that warm glow you get each Christmas season simply do an act of kindness for someone, and then do it again for someone else. When we serve each other we are giving Christ his birthday present.
Im so glad you all loved my Light The World Modern Gift Tags I did last year for the #lighttheworld Campaign. Many of you asked If I could do some alternative versions of this gift tag and I didn't have the time last year but I was able to squeeze it in this year.
I had someone contact me about making some of these tags for a giving Christmas tree where they could select the name of a child in need and make their Christmas wish come true. That inspired me to make these paper ornaments out of the nativity design I made last year. These are perfect for hanging on a tree or putting on a gift.
There are even a couple of options available. So if you don't want the #lighttheworld on the bottom of the paper ornament you can get some without. There are even square ones available for easy cutting.
The year the Light The World initiative has broken the acts of serve down into weekly challenges. You still have plenty of time to join in. This week is Light Your Family. Share your talent and love with your family by writing someone in your family a letter or helping a family member out without being asked to. A simple phone call can go a long way.
Get your free paper nativity ornaments here via google drive, its fast, easy and hassle free.
I would love to hear how you are going to be using your Light The World Paper Ornament Tags. Please leave your comments here on the blog or leave me a comment on any of my social media pages.

Dreaming of a white Christmas this year? Help yourself to some extra good slumber vibes with a stunning Christmas dreamcatcher that you can make all by yourself. Dreamcatchers are said to be able to watch over you at night and catch the bad dreams trying to disturb your sleep. Dreamcatchers will only let the lovely dreams past through its nets and into your head while the bad dreams get caught in its webs of yarn and string.
Im completely in love with the BOHO movement that is bringing back all these natural earthy moods mixed with a soft touch of feminine glamour. And I am especially excited about seeing it pop into a lot of Christmas decor this holiday season. I have been so inspired with the new/old trend that I decided to make a dreamcatcher wreath decoration this Christmas season and put a holiday spin on it. And Its everything and more I could have wanted. The jingle bells are the best part and it makes this a fun decoration to put on a front door because the door will chime when people are coming in and out, and maybe a bunch of angles are simultaneously getting wings as well.
I love how dreamcatchers just show of thread textiles like lace, ribbon and yarn. In this Dream catcher you are just hanging strings of lace, ribbon and yarn over and over again. Not doing any fancy ties or weaves, just letting it be with a few knots and jingle bells and then putting in on display as itself.
The Main part of the dreamcatcher is made up of a Christmas star doily that my sister crocheted from this free crochet pattern here. I love this design because this star can be a snowflake, star or even be interpreted as a poinsettia flower. Anyway you interpret this pretty crochet star it looks christmasy so you win any way to see it. If you are not a crocheter you can just go ahead a use any doily to get the effect. You can find doilies already made at your local craft store or thrift store and they are pretty inexpensive.
These Christmas dreamcatchers make fantastic replacements for the traditional Christmas wreaths. Every dreamcatcher should be different and I encourage you to get creative with your own without a lot of technical skills. They are so easy to make and don't have to cost a lot of money. I made mine with a lot of things I found at the dollar store.
1. First thing you need to do is to secure your Christmas doily. You can just tie it on with extra yarn and just the little pieces off. I would recommend adding a tiny bit of discrete hot glue where the yarn is secured onto the craft ring so the doily doesn't slide around to much.
2. Once the doily is secured you can move on to the real fun part. Adding the lace to the bottom. I love having a wide array of ribbons and yarns to mix in with my lace. Get all of your lace and ribbon on with a standard larks head knot, that utilizes doubling over the string and securing it to the ring. Do not trim your lace at the bottom until your entire dreamcatcher is done. Adding knots, bells and floral arrangement can change the lengths of you lace and string and mess with your lace line at the bottom.
3. Once all of your ribbons are on you can play around with different knots and tying your bells on. When you tie your bells on you will want to start with tying the upper bells on first and working your way down the sting. Only tie one to three bells on a sting. I liked tying my bells onto the yarn not the ribbons because the yarn was thinner and lighter. The bells help weigh the thin yarn down so the yarn doesn't wisp all over the place.
4. Adding Tassles: I feel like the tassels on the sides of the dreamcatcher really bring the whole design together and weights the lace down nicely. Tassels are really easy to make. Just roll a bunch of your macrame yarn around your hand about eight to ten times. Then cut the bottom of the loops of sting so all of your stings are the same leant. Then tie the loop tie around the middle of your bunch of sting. Fold the string down in half. To keep the stings all pointing down nicely take a piece of yarn and wrap it around the top of your tassel. I made this quick one minute tassel video that might help you make it faster.
5. And the very last thing you add on is the floral accents. I bought three Christmas floral bouquets at my local dollar store. They were completely perfect for what I was wanting. I also found some beautiful lace ribbon and the jingle bells there as well. Lots of crafting goodies at the dollar store. Just hot glue your flowers where you want them and in seconds your dream catcher is ready to hang and bring your some much needed boho Christmas cheer.
6. Trim: Don't forget to trim your lace at the bottom. I cut mine into a tip at the bottom but you can cut your strait or keep your ribbons uneven. Just do what looks good to you.
TIP: If you take extra care to store your Christmas dream catcher away after the holiday you will be able to enjoy this dreamcatcher for years to come. These Christmas dream catchers also make wonderful gifts and look beautiful over the heads of little ones with sugar plums dancing in their heads.

I have a bunch of random 2x4 scraps left over from all of our Home Remodeling this summer and Im always looking for creative ways to use them. This Christmas I decided to try my hand and some 2x4 scraps into ginger bread houses!!! And Im so glad I did. It was cheap and so much easier to make than real ginger bread houses. And the best part is that I can use them again next year.
I wanted to make a ginger bread village and made eight different size gingerbread buildings. You can also just make them into sets of three and give them away as adorable Christmas decorations for your loved ones. This can also make a great kids craft for the grandparents.
The secret to awesome 2x4 gingerbread houses is to use puffy paint/ fabric paint. When the puffy paint dries it stays a little bubbled up instead of drying flat like white acrylic paint. So the white puffy paint looks more like real frosting when its dried. I think the fabric paint makes all the difference.
There are so many ways to decorate a 2x4 gingerbread house. I really liked the idea of just using white fabric paint instead of adding a bunch of colors, that way I can add the gingerbread village to any of my decor and no matter what color scheme I go with the ginger bread houses will continue to fit in. But if you want to add a little red and green go for it. I bet it will look awesome that way to.
1. Set Miter saw to a 45 degree angle and cut one corner off. Then flip the house to the back and cut the other corner off from the middle to create the triangle of the roof. Don't worry if the tirando is not quite even it will give your houses a fun quirky look.
2. Once all of the houses are cut don't forget to sand all the edges and tips so they are smooth. This will also help reduce the risk of slivers. I learned that the hard way of course.
3. Now you can paint the wood houses and nice summer gingerbread brown. I suggest you mix your brown with a little white to get the right shade of cookie brown. The standard strait brown you find at most craft stores are a little too dark and needs to be lightened up.
Paint Tip: If you want to add a little extra pizzas to your gingerbread houses you can paint the edges a darker brown to give it that just-toasted touch.
4. Let dry over night: These gingerbread houses are easy to make but you must leave room for drying time overnight. The craft paint only takes about an hour or two to dry. But I let mine dry overnight for extra measure. If you are making these for a kids craft I suggest you paint all the wood ahead of time and let the kiddos just paint on the white fabric paint part.
There are so many fun gingerbread designs and inspirations on Pinterest. I took a bunch of different doodles and added my favorites to my houses. When using the puffy paint hold the bottle a tiny bit from the house so that you don't squish down the paint. You want the fabric paint to be a fluffy and fresh frosting. Let dry overnight.
These gingerbread houses looks good anywhere they go. I have displayed my gingerbread village on my kitchen hutch. I thought it went perfectly there with all the Christmas dishes and dinning room decor. But These Gingerbread houses look good anywhere.
I would love to see your 2x4 gingerbread houses and share them also with my readers on my social media site. Please send me an email or tag me on my social media.
Below is a Pinterest friendly version of this post for you to share with your friends and family or save for next Christmas. Hope you Enjoy This fun holiday craft.
We all know how harsh winter can be on our skin. With howling winds, driving rain, cold air, freezing temperatures and hot, drying artificial heat. It's no wonder our skin feels dry, flaky and tight which not only looks unsightly but feel uncomfortable. With little moisture in the air over the winter months we need to take extra good care of our skin. You might have the right foundation and the best primer for your skin type – click here to see the best primers as rated by vogue– but what else can you do to keep your skin healthy?
Read on for some helpful tips and advice on how to keep your skin soft and glowing all winter long.
There's nothing more soothing than a gorgeously hot bath or shower, especially when it's freezing cold outside. But washing your face, body and hands in hot water is actually stripping your skin of vital oils and natural moisture. So, try to wash in lukewarm water instead, you'll really notice the difference.
There are literally thousands of moisturising products available, but during the winter months you need to be careful with what you choose. Many petroleum based moisturisers will actually dry out your skin more, so it's better to opt for a formula that is full of nourishing and hydrating properties. Go for an oil based solution too! Ingredients such as lavender, jojoba and chamomile for a natural moisture boost.
Get used to wearing gloves and a nice thick scarf to protect your skinfrom the freezing temperatures and the harsh winds. So, you have the perfect excuse to go and treat yourself to a new set of gloves! If you're going to be doing anything where your hands will get wet, then wear gloves too, that includes washing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom! And don't forget the sunscreen. Yep! It's true, the winter sun is just as damaging as the summer sun so make sure your makeup has an SPF Rating of 15 of higher.
We're always reaching for cool drinks in the summer, whether it's a glass of ice water or something a little bubblier, keeping hydrated in summer is something we're conscious of. But, when it comes to winter, we tend to opt for warm drinks such as apple cider and hot chocolate which don't have as many hydrating capabilities. But drinking plenty of water throughout winter will not only help with brain function and keeping you awake, but it will also help your skin to stay hydrated too. Why not try a little hot water and lemon?

50 Greatest Modified Drivers – Mike McLaughlin
"Magic Shoes"
Mike McLaughlin is one of the most diversified and successful drivers in the nation. Voted by the fans as one of the 50 Greatest Modified Drivers of All-Time, McLaughlin was a regular in the modified division during the mid 1980's. Driving first for Len Boehler and then for Billy Corazzo, McLoughlin established himself as a front runner, not only at Stafford, but at every track the NASCAR Modifieds raced at. During his tenure at Stafford, McLaughlin recorded 4 weekly modified feature wins, 1 NASCAR Modified Tour win, and 1 NASCAR Busch North Series win.
A native of Waterloo, NY, McLaughlin began his racing career in the late 1970's in the rough and tumble D.I.R.T. circuit in upstate New York where he was an instant success. From the D.I.R.T. circuit he moved his racing efforts to the SuperModifieds at Oswego. It was at Oswego where the late Richie Evans convinced him that the road to the "big-time" in NASCAR would start with the Modifieds. Teaming up with New York car owner Norm Foster, McLaughlin started traveling to New England and points south. He won his share of features, including a 250-lap event at Martinsville. When NASCAR formed the Modified Tour in the mid 1980's, McLaughlin teamed up with Len Boehler and then with Bill Corazzo. From mid-1986 through 1993, McLaughlin recorded 16 Modified Tour wins. His modified success, which includes the Tour championship in 1987, opened doors in the Busch North Series, which in turn opened doors in the Xfinity Series. In Busch North competition, McLaughlin recorded 7 wins and finished 3rd in the 1993 points standings.
From 1994-2004, McLaughlin raced primarily in the Xfinity Series and became a top driver. When Brett Bodine went into NASCAR Cup racing, an offer came from Frank Cicci Racing. McLaughlin took the offer and became a top contender.
Always popular with the fans, he was awarded Most Popular Modified Driver in 1985, Most Popular Busch North Driver in 1992 and 1993, and in 1997 was voted Most Popular Xfinity Series driver.
