Having lived in West Michigan and in the Buffalo area, I am familiar with snow. Lots of it. Record snowfalls. This year, it snows or seems to snow every day. Regardless of the amount, it's enough!
Prior to this year's white avalanche, I shared my winter mantel and asked if anyone wanted me to create a tutorial for making pretty snowflakes. It seems that I am not the only one who did not know that there was a paper-folding technique that would make all the difference in the world. So, today, just in case you don't have enough snow….here's a snowflake cutting tutorial.
I chose to make my snowflakes from old book pages, because I love decorating and crafting with book pages….a lot….like here and here and here. You can choose to make yours from any paper. Keep in mind that thinner paper will be easier to fold and cut. Mine were a wee challenge…but I won.
Trim your paper to a 4 inch square.
Fold paper in half once more and crease it at the point of the fold only.
Make the second quarter fold as shown.
With fingers on the fold, use a pen/pencil to draw a guideline as shown for the first few snowflakes you cut. Cut your paper across that line.
Continue to keep your fingers on the fold as you cut small triangles.
This is where it gets more difficult. Work your scissors as you cut curves into the folds of your paper. Make a few cuts on the fold line which you have been holding. This is what a finished snowflake looks like still folded.
Carefully unfold your snowflake. This is one side unfolded.
Continue to unfold your snowflake. This is the second side unfolded.
Unfold one more time to reveal your completed snowflake.
Using a hot iron, press your snowflakes so they are flat.
If you wish to hang them, a single thread is a nearly invisible hanger.
These are completed snowflakes prior to being unfolded and what they look like fully unfolded. Hopefully it gives you some creative cutting ideas.
Note…A1 shows the fold side that you hold on the (bottom) left and B1 shows the folded side on the (bottom) right.
Every snowflake you create is different, no two are alike, just in nature.
If you look closely, you'll see that my snowflakes are not perfect. The irregularity comes from using the heavier book pages, and my inability to fold paper precisely. [wink] I confess…I strive toward perfection and did not achieve perfect snowflakes.
You know what? It's okay. When I sat at the table in the dining room and looked over at my bucket of dangling snowflakes I did not notice their imperfections. Nope. Instead, I appreciated their individualism and their beauty as a whole.
I guess snowflakes are kind of like us. We're not perfect…. Each of us excel or flop at different things… And we are still beautiful.
There's still snow in the forecast. Will you accept the challenge to make some inside snow?
If you're like me and never learned, or know some else who didn't take the class to make pretty snowflakes, why not you share or PIN this snowflake cutting tutorial? It would make my day.
Oh LuAnn….that is terrible. I'm so sorry. I hope everything is okay, now.
These are just so cute! I am glad you shared.
Thanks for posting the tutorial on bookpage snowflakes. These are on my "to make" list for this weekend!
Yay!! I'm so glad that you can use it. Have fun! Post a photo on my FB page. I'd love to see how they turn out.
So beautiful! Love that you made these from book pages and they look so whimsical on the birch sticks. Really, so so beautiful!
Thank you Audra….they were fun to do. It's always a surprise when they're unfolded to see the designs they will reveal.
I made many snowflakes as a child, but never as lovely as these. I have never seen a tutorial like this before and I love the look of book pages too.
I haven't seen a tutorial either, Karen. I did see a pattern in a book which you were to copy and follow the lines for folding and cutting. That was the impetus for showing this tutorial. Most of us don't want to have to copy something, nor have to deal with printed lines showing up. Plus…it wouldn't be "our" creation. So this is what I came up with….I hope it helps.
I used to teach my first and fourth graders. Trace the cool whip lid. Fold to make a taco. Now comes the tricky part. We have to make a teepee!! Take corner and fold to bottom about a third in not straight down. Fold other tip to other side to make the teepee. I'd show it several times and we'd check each others!! Oh we want to cook in our teepee. Lets cut a hole in the top. Now it can be straight or jagged like teeth. You choose. Oh dear we need a door!! So lets cut a triangle out for our door. Oh I want to get more air in my door so I'm cutting little triangles on the inside of the teepee opening. And on the bottom of our teepee? Lets make little triangles so our kitties can come in at night. Oh let's decorate the side walls of our teepee. Oh but we must be careful not to cut all the way to our door!! Lets cut little triangles. Little half circles. Now lets open them slowly!!! And we had read the book where some snowflakes had lost parts in the storm so it was okay. Or if a dot of tape held a just snipped piece back together I'd allow it. But mostly we would stand in awe for with all of them up together, they did look amazing!!! No two alike.
And please…pray for snow in our Sierras. Or our farmers will have no water!! As an AG place, we are if compared to countries as well, about hmm is it sixth? Or third? In food production. And we produce oil which needs water for the steam. There is zero allotted to oil. We prayed for rain last night and it sprinkled today. Praise God!!! Alleluia!!! Please join in praying for our worst drought ever recorded. We get all our water in the winter from snowpack in the Sierra Mountains. We need rain here but we really really need snow in all the Sierras Lord. All glory is given to You Lord. Lord in Heaven, Hear our prayers. Amen!!
And thank you for showing me a new way to snip paper to make gorgeous snowflakes too!! I'm leaving mine up as I pray for more snow and rain!
Gwen…you were and still are an amazing teacher. I cannot imagine how fun it was to be in your classroom. Your kids must have been so excited to come to class every day!!
I will pray about the snow and rain you need. I was not aware.
I looked it up. California ranks fifth in the world for food supply. California supplies over half our countries food–fruits, nuts, vegetables, dairy….so we really need rain and snowpack. We feed the nation. Lets keep praying. Thank you!!! I'm using my snowflakes as a visual to pray.
I pray a prayer of agreement with you. Amen.
I knew California was important to my table….but that number is amazing.
I shared it on FB to pray.
Love this project! Thank you for the great tutorial!
My snowflakes always look so juvenile. I can't wait to try yours out. So beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial. Enjoy your weekend!
Another great tutorial on your blog. Love the snowflakes and thanks for sharing at TTF!
These are beautiful! I used to make these with my children, but I'm going to try some with old book pages. What a great idea!
These are gorgeous, using the book pages is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
I love these Diane. I just pinned it, but I think I will wait for next year to make them…I don't think I can face anymore snow right now lol!
Haha!! Yes….I think we've had enough snow!!!!
These snowflakes are so perfect! I love um!
You are so sweet, Crystelle! Thanks for putting a smile on my face!
I love the idea of using book pages for the snowflakes! It is so classy!! Next time I read a truly awful book, I will have to try this out! Haha!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your kind thoughts, Lindsay!
These look so beautiful! Love the subtle book page typography too. 🙂 Thank you for linking up at The Weekend re-Treat Link Party!
You are so kind, Shannon. Thank you!!
They are so fun to cut out….I know you'll enjoy making your own snow pile. We have had more than enough snow. I'm so glad the sun came out this morning…if I don't look out the window it almost feels like spring. Guess…that's wishful thinking. 😉 Hope the snow doesn't materialize for you.
Thanks for the spotlight, friend!!!
Diane — Excellent tutorial! I even cleaned the many bookshelves this weekend so I have some books to use. But now I have a dilemma. Do I actually do them and prove that I am still a failure at making snowflakes even with great directions? Or do I dream of the possibilities and bask in the warmth of knowing that I have wonderful directions and could make them if I just would do it? There are the photos of yours to prove how beautiful they would be — and you did say that imperfections are acceptable. . . . 🙂 You are featured this week at Busy Monday! thanks so much for sharing.
I love the idea of using book pages for snowflakes!
You've got to try you hand at these Sharon. I know you would have so much fun creating and displaying them.

Oceans, Physical Climate, Observations, International
Antarctic Ice Shelf Faces Imminent Demise
The last remaining piece of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf will likely disintegrate by the end of this decade, according to a new NASA-led study. The ice shelf, which partially collapsed in 2002, has existed for at least 10,000 years.
An international team of researchers led by Ala Khazendar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory found that the remnant of the Larsen B Ice Shelf is flowing more quickly toward the ocean, becoming increasingly fragmented, and developing large cracks. In addition, two of its tributary glaciers are flowing faster and thinning rapidly.
"These are warning signs that the remnant is disintegrating," Khazendar said. "Although it's fascinating scientifically to have a front-row seat to watch the ice shelf becoming unstable and breaking up, it's bad news for our planet."
Ice shelves act as dams for glaciers flowing from Antarctica to the ocean. When they collapse, glacial ice can flow into the ocean more quickly, accelerating the pace of global sea level rise.
The research team used data collected by NASA's Operation IceBridge, a multi-year airborne campaign to survey polar ice, in combination with satellite data on ice flow speeds. The team expects that the Larsen B remnant will soon shatter into hundreds of drifting icebergs, allowing glaciers to move unhindered toward the sea.
A separate study found that the neighboring Larsen C Ice Shelf is thinning from above and below, probably as a result of both warmer air temperatures and warmer ocean currents. This much larger ice shelf could follow Larsen B and Larsen A (which collapsed in 1996) to collapse by the end of this century.

Sutton Coldfield talk promotes positive approach to menopause
Women who are looking for advice and support on a positive approach to the menopause are being invited to a talk in Sutton Coldfield.
Katherine Hill, Clinical Nurse Specialist at the St Giles Hospice Women's Cancer Support Service, will be leading the talk, entitled "Embracing Menopause", at the St Giles Supportive Care Centre in Lindridge Road on March 28, starting at 6.30pm.
Katherine said "Many people are unaware of the common symptoms, effects and the impact the condition can have on daily life.
"Menopause can be a taboo subject for many people, families and organisations, even though it is something that every woman will go through. A lot of women don't
realise what it is when they start getting symptoms, but can find proactive ways to help manage the changes in their lives and to improve their own health and wellbeing.
"Menopause is something that impacts upon everyone in the family – including partners – and it can affect people at work, but so many people are reluctant to talk about it. A better understanding of the symptoms, for example the impact of hot flushes, can help overcome the embarrassment and the effect it has.
"It's an issue also which affects the women we support through our service as they can often have a medically induced menopause caused by treatment and the talk will cover this too."
The specialist Women's Cancer Support Service, which has just celebrated its 12-month anniversary, has supported more than 60 women living with and after the effects of cancer and its treatments in the last year.
"The service has grown significantly since we launched and a great deal of the referrals have come via word of mouth," said Katherine.
"We are spreading the word about the service through talks like this one as well as raising awareness with GPs and healthcare professionals to ensure woman know they can self-refer to our service.
"If you are part of an organisation or group which would like to host a talk from one of our team, please get in touch."
Doors open at 6.15pm and you don't need to pre-book a place at the talk. Everyone is invited to attend. For further details, contact Jenni Fryer on 0121 378 6290.
For more information about the Specialist Woman's Cancer Support Service and the care it provides, please call 0300 330 1297 or visit www.stgileshospice.com/specialist-womens-cancer-support-service

You have been posting, blogging, tweeting, following and pinning all things left and right, feeling good about your social marketing efforts yet your engagement with your audience has remained stagnant.
So where is your audience? Have you gained many impressions or are you just talking to a wall that occasionally talks back again?
An organisation that has a great social media presence knows the value an engaged following brings.
It's all about brand perception – are you who they think of first when your product aligns with their strategic plan? Are your messages appealing to your followers at a personal level? Are you sending messages in the right tone?
Are you providing the value they're looking for?
However, even with the vast amount of statistics, conversations and followers you have gained – it all means nothing unless you can use it wisely.
Access to the right type of reporting that provides insight and helps you understand the impact of your cross-channel campaigns is critical to helping you use Social "wisely".
Using Oracle Social Relationship Management I am able to source a variety of automated reports delivered at varying intervals.
I use these to analyse my Social "streams", match them to campaigns from our Eloqua team, perhaps some competitor activity and more. All of these data points help to constantly redefine our social strategy if necessary.
You will want to strategise specifically on your research but if you can find your 'x factor' then use this to leverage your content offering.
Don't be afraid to try something different if you find your marketing remains stagnant because, in this environment, change is inevitable.

BLUETOP® has three times the cycling capability (rechargeability) with ultimate cranking power for your boat or RV in a maintenance-free package. Perfect for multiple high-demand accessories and trolling motors with 15 times the vibration resistance and lighter weight. Lower internal resistance provides more efficient power output and faster recharges.
The OPTIMA® model number for this battery is D27M. If you are replacing an OPTIMA® battery you already have, this model is the same as batteries marked 8027-127, 9027-127, BLUES27M, SC27DM, or N99D27MBLUE.


The big squeeze – are big brands increasingly using smaller consultancies?
Greenwich Design managing director Simon Wright says brands are increasingly 'decoupling' work from bigger groups and instead using networks of smaller consultancies.
The other day I had another call from a client who'd been let down by their big brand consultancy, needing us to step in. Client marketers know that smaller consultancies don't have the pipelines and processes that big brand consultancies have. Their structure is more flexible and streamlined (often with their own team of artworkers in-house) which means they can get things done on time. What's interesting, though, is that we've been getting more of these distress calls over time.
Big branding consultancies are definitely still seen by clients as the go-to places for the big creative idea on which to hang the whole brand strategy, redesign, advertising campaign or packaging design. However, where the big branding consultancies fall down is in the detail. Once they've come up with the big idea, they lose interest, or at least a bit of focus. This is why, time and again, they leave it until the last minute to implement the strategy, but they just don't have the right set-up to make things happen on time or quickly.
This last-minute action is unlikely to be the best approach for the brand itself for the long term. It can also be a bit frustrating for the smaller consultancies as you know that everything is focused on deadline first and best solution second.
That's why we're starting to see 'decoupling' grow as a trend in how clients work with their branding and design consultancies. This is where they bring in smaller design consultancies as expert executors of the big idea. They work alongside the big brand boys to implement the minutiae of the brand at every touchpoint, whether it's an ad, Word template, PDF, sign or stationery. However, this only works where the 'secondary' consultancy has a strong and intuitive understanding of brand and how to interpret guidelines appropriately. It's not just about putting the picture in the right place and making sure the logo colour is correct, but working at a much deeper level, with an eye on tone of voice, photo style etc.
The decoupling process isn't always easy, though. There are more consultancies for clients to manage and big consultancies (like any consultancy) will always tend to be protective of projects and want to keep them to themselves. So, when they invite consultancies to pitch, brands should create a two-tier system of pitching, with a clear distinction between the 'blue sky' brief and the implementation one. The tier one consultancy should then drive the creative thinking but with input – and ultimately buy-in – from the tier two partner to ensure the work is executed on-brand.
The client must take control, provide both consultancies with an unambiguous remit that makes it clear what is expected of them – and ensure that tier one consultancies understand that bringing in an implementation group is nothing personal. In time, the tier-two consultancies become integral to the development of the brand; sounding boards for proposals from the tier-one groups, giving added value to a client.
The decoupling concept makes sense. If you're building a house, you bring in all the specialists you need – the builder, the architect, the engineer etc – and you don't expect the architect to start digging the foundations! Add to that the fact that decoupling should help clients significantly reduce their roll-out costs and you can see why it's becoming an increasingly compelling proposition.
Simon Wright is managing director of Greenwich Design.
It's good to see big brands encouraging collaboration between different consultancies & specialists. Whether it's for creativity or productivity, it gets creatives (hopefully) talking and expanding their ideas. Communication is key though for the process to run smoothly. As a small brand & type specialist, we work with a variety of different creatives and always find our best work comes from working with great communicators and, of course, a close relationship with the client.
I agree. Think dinosaur vs. mammal and you have evolution of thinking for design buyers currently.
The trick as a small consultancy is to stay focussed on your specialism and play to the adaptive strength you have.

Muslims In Moscow Say They Lack Space For Friday Prayers
By editor • May 10, 2019
Religion in Russia is usually associated with the Russian Orthodox Church, but Muslims have also lived in Russia for hundreds of years, and their share of the population is growing fast. As NPR's Lucian Kim reports, Muslims in Moscow say they're running out of places to pray.
LUCIAN KIM, BYLINE: Every Friday morning, the area around Moscow's main mosque is packed with believers heading to weekly prayers.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (Foreign language spoken).
KIM: Beggars line their route from the metro station to the mosque, a giant structure with soaring minarets, a golden dome and enough space for more than 10,000 people.
KIM: Young men hand out religious newspapers. And in front of the mosque, there are policemen and metal detectors.
KIM: Inside the mosque, a volunteer urges worshippers to keep moving and take the stairs to the upper levels. I shuffle up a staircase in a crowd of men to the fourth-floor gallery, where I get a bird's eye view of the vast prayer hall below. Today's sermon is about how to deal with anger.
UNIDENTIFIED IMAM: (Foreign language spoken).
KIM: The imam switches from Russian to Arabic and then back to Russian, urging his flock to show kindness and respect toward others.
UNIDENTIFIED IMAM: (Singing in foreign language).
KIM: Now the prayers begin, and somehow the thousands of worshippers manage to prostrate themselves despite the cramped conditions. The lack of space for Friday prayers is the most pressing problem for Muslims in Moscow, which has only four mosques. Ildar Alyautdinov, the mufti of Moscow, says a city could easily do with two more.
ILDAR ALYAUTDINOV: (Foreign language spoken).
KIM: "Probably society isn't quite ready. They still view mosques and Muslims as causes for fear and anxiety. And unfortunately, the city government is listening to the residents who don't want to see mosques near their homes."
Russian news coverage about Islam is largely focused on terrorist activity in the majority Muslim North Caucasus region. State TV shows dramatic images of what it calls Russia's war against Islamic extremists in Syria. But Islam has been an inherent part of Russian society since the 16th century, when Russia started expanding and acquiring territories inhabited by Muslims. Today, more than 16 million Russian citizens - about a ninth of the population - are Muslim, and their numbers have swelled in recent years with the arrival of migrant laborers from Central Asia.
I meet anthropologist Dmitry Oparin in a Central Asian cafe in downtown Moscow.
DMITRY OPARIN: (Foreign language spoken).
KIM: He says Islam life in the city is thriving, with special shops, halal grocery stores and a dozen prayer halls. But he agrees with the mufti that Moscow needs more mosques.
OPARIN: (Foreign language spoken).
KIM: He says city officials play on people's fears and are driving Muslims from public view. Back at the mosque, I run into Akhmad Zakhratullayev, a student from Dagestan who's wearing a papakha, a traditional shaggy sheepskin cap.
AKHMAD ZAKHRATULLAYEV: (Foreign language spoken).
KIM: He says the issue of new mosques has been politicized and hopes it will soon be solved. He says he's focused on the positive - that Muslims can now practice their religion freely after 70 years of communism. Lucian Kim, NPR News, Moscow.

Tom Adams Biography
Tom Adams is an award winning television producer and author. He was born in Yorkshire but now lives in Sevenoaks in Kent. As a producer he has made documentaries on everything from David Livingstone (I presume) to the Berlin Wall, from the Seven Wonders of the World to the Industrial Revolution. He was inspired to turn his hand to writing children's books rather than for television, after his eldest son, then 5, started asking questions like 'how do arms work?' He now has three children's interactive science books to his name: Feel the Force, Molecule Mayhem and That's Life. Molecule Mayhem won the Society of Authors/ ALCS Award for Educational Writing 2013.
How I Found the Agency
I first contacted the agency when I was trying to get Feel the Force of the ground. I had found a number of names in the Writer's Yearbook and an internet search, and sent chapters off to a handful of selected agents. Andrew responded saying children's factual wasn't his area of expertise and so he could not take the project on board. However, despite it not being of interest to him, he still took the time to read my proposal, gave highly encouraging feedback and forwarded some names as to where I should send it. I felt this was beyond the call of duty so when I came up with Beatles: By the Book, he was my first port of call.

Swoop on eBay traders
Counterfeit goods worth £34,000 for sale in an internet business scam have been seized by trading standards officers.
Officers from Lancashire County Council made the haul after swooping at a residential property between Burnley and Accrington in the early hours of Tuesday, June 7.
More than 850 items were seized, including 777 garments – mainly polo shirts – and 92 wallets and keyrings.
The goods were found in a bedroom, study and attic at the property, which was being used to run an eBay retail business by two women in their thirties.
One of the women was inside at the time of the raid but neither have been arrested.
The items have been sent away for investigation and the haul is being treated as suspicious.
The raid follows other operations in east Lancashire over the last couple of weeks, where counterfeit GHD hair straighteners were found on sale at a shop in Oswaldtwistle and counterfeit tobacco products were seized in Nelson.
Coun Albert Atkinson, deputy leader of Lancashire county council, said: "Fake goods may be linked with serious crime and counterfeiters make a fortune while avoiding paying much-needed taxes.
"The success of these raids sends a clear message to those operating illegally that such activity will not be tolerated in Lancashire."
Paul Noone, head of Lancashire county council's Trading Standards Service, said: "Counterfeiting is often regarded as a victimless crime but in reality it has a serious financial impact on local businesses and the livelihood of their employees, who rely on sales of genuine products.
"Fakes are not only inferior in quality but can often also pose a risk to health and be genuinely dangerous."
Anyone who suspects they have seen counterfeit goods on sale can report them by calling the Consumer Direct hotline on 0845 600 1352.

Dalhousie Gazette: What's the biggest change you've made in your time as president?
Sagar Jha: It's kind of selfish and clichéd to say this, but the biggest change has definitely been in myself. I know the growth that I've gotten to see as an individual has been quite profound. I've realized that coming into the job, I had a pretty thick skull and pretty thin skin, while they say that a good politician has thick skin and a thin skull.
In terms of the actual DSU [Dalhousie Student Union], there have been lots of changes. I think the biggest changes coming out of this year will be the process by which we try and make decisions, so a bit of a council reform. It hasn't been achieved yet, but the wheels are all in motion, which I am very excited about.
DG: Is there anything you wish you'd known when you first started the job?
SJ: The one thing I wish I'd known was all the policy and constitution of the DSU. I came into the position not having been a council member and not having been directly involved in student government. I was really involved in event planning, management and promotion, but not actually in governance. It was a really steep learning curve.
I know that I'm going to make it a point during the transition period to help the executive with this. We're going to have silent reading period where we read one policy and then ask any questions if they don't understand it.
DG: What advice would you give to next year's president?
SJ: More than anything, I would tell Ramz that one of the most important things for him and for all presidents to keep in mind is that when you become a student union executive you are not in a position to pursue your own specific passions, goals, political ideologies. You are now in a position in which you are creating the space for other people to do so. It's selfless work, it's thankless work and you don't do it to see necessarily the change you want to see and the message you want to see, but you do it because you believe in the changes that other people want to make.
DG: What do you plan to do once you are no longer president?
SJ: I plan to run far away! No, I'm kidding. I have a couple of options: I'm applying for a job at student services or recruiting with the university, simply because I love Dal and I love Dal students, and I want to stick around. If that doesn't all pan out, my backup plan is to go to Memorial University and study Marine Architecture. My degree was in Marine Biology, so it's always been an interest of mine and there are a lot of opportunities to find a career in that. In the summertime, I'm finally going to relax.
DG: Is there anything else you would like to add?
SJ: Presidents are people too. It's very easy to be criticized in the public eye, and it takes a certain type of person to be able to handle that. If you see a DSU or university president outside, like at the park walking their dog or at the Grawood having a beverage, remember that they're a person too. Don't go approaching Richard Florizone and ask him why tuition is so high. Instead, thank him for the work that he does.

Thousands of homes and businesses on Bainbridge Island were without electricity Saturday morning following a heavy snowstorm that hit Western Washington Friday afternoon.
Overnight snow, combined with Friday's flurries, left snow as deep as a foot in some areas on Bainbridge.
Puget Sound Energy reported 594 different power outages across its service area Feb. 9.
A total of 52,432 PSE customers were without power at 11 a.m. Saturday.
PSE said it pre-positioned crews and materials before the storm to be prepared for outages, but also noted that road conditions were slowing crews.
On Bainbridge, outages were reported from the Grand Forest all the way south to Fort Ward. Smaller outages were reported on the north end of the island, near Seabold, Hidden Cove and along Sunrise Drive.
Bainbridge Island city officials said they were activating the city's Emergency Operations Center at 10:30 a.m. Multiple road closures have been reported across the island due to fallen wires.
Washington State Ferries said vessels were on schedule throughout the system following delays on some routes earlier Saturday.

Real Madrid's Copa del Rey defence ends as Fernando Torres nets 2 for Atletico
By: Purabi Bora |
Madrid | Published: January 16, 2015 10:01:30 AM
Atletico Madrid's Fernando Torres scores twice to end Real Madrid's defence of the Copa del Rey title with a 2-2 draw.

Fernando Torres scored twice as Atletico Madrid ended Real Madrid's defense of the Copa del Rey title with a 2-2 draw on Thursday, maintaining its dominance over its crosstown rival this season.
Atletico advanced 4-2 on aggregate and will play Barcelona in the quarterfinals after it won 4-0 at Elche to move on 9-0 over both legs.
Torres stunned the Santiago Bernabeu by striking from Antoine Griezmann's pass seconds into the Spanish capital derby.
Sergio Ramos made it 1-1 soon after, but Atletico hung on in its area until Griezmann set up Torres for his second goal just after the halftime restart.
Cristiano Ronaldo leveled the score again in an otherwise subdued night he began by parading his Ballon d'Or trophy, leaving Real needing three more goals in 36 minutes to advance.
"Scoring so early set us on our way," Torres said. "I'm happy for our fans who have come, and for scoring my first two goals in my return at a ground I had never scored at."
Since losing last season's Champions League final to Real, the team managed by Diego Simeone has beaten its main rivals in the Spanish Super Cup, the league, and the Copa del Rey. It improved its record against Real to four wins, three draws, and three losses since it broke a 14-year, 25-match winless streak with a victory in the 2013 Copa del Rey final.
"We have eliminated the best team in the world," Simeone said.
Madrid continued to sputter with only one win in its last four matches since finishing 2014 on a Spanish record 22-win streak.
"Losing is never good, but you always have to be positive," said Ronaldo. "The team is going to improve and we are alive in the Spanish league and the Champions League. Real is the biggest club in the world and always wants to win, although sometimes you have to take a step backward to later take two forward."
Hyped for a comeback, the Real faithful greeted Atletico's bus with a sea of raucous supporters that Spanish police had to part with officers on horseback.
The atmosphere inside was equally charged, but Atletico needed only 50 seconds to silence the crowd, except for its red-and-white contingent which exploded in rapture when Torres got his first goal in three games since returning to his boyhood club.
Siqueira intercepted Ramos' long ball, and three quick passes launched Griezmann on the break. He flew by Pepe and put his cross past Ramos for Torres to score a left-footed volley.
Real now needed four goals to go through, and it found its first in the 20th when Torres fouled Ronaldo, setting up Toni Kroos' free kick that Ramos headed in after goalkeeper Jan Oblak fell.
The hosts continued to bombard Atletico's area with crosses and long-range shots, as the defending league champions dug in until halftime.
The second half started with another erred pass by Ramos that Griezmann latched onto before dribbling into the box and laying off for Torres, who cut back to bring Pepe to his knees before squeezing the ball under goalie Keylor Navas to crush Real's hopes.
Ronaldo got his goal when he slipped around Diego Godin to nod in Gareth Bale's short cross.
Atletico, however, was in control the rest of the way, with Jorge "Koke" Resurreccion and substitute Arda Turan keeping possession as Real faded.
Barcelona left Lionel Messi and most of its first-choice players off the squad with the tie already in hand. And it didn't miss them as it eased past Elche with first-half goals by Jeremy Mathieu, Sergi Roberto and Pedro Rodriguez before Adriano netted in injury time.

Outfit Post: "Conform, Consume, Obey"
Hey Guys! Sorry for the absence over the Christmas period, I was busy catching up/chilling out with my family at home, watching endless movies, drinking lots of yummy hot whiskeys, and stuffing my face of course :) Also the internet out at home is pretty abysmal, and trying to compete with 3 sisters for it is an exercise in futility, hence no blogging!

I love going on vacation! Even if it's just a mini-vacation or a staycation (ie. When you are on vacation but don't go anywhere in particular), I love to take some time off with Joy and just relax and refresh. However, even when I'm on vacation, my brain sometimes keeps me from completely unplugging. Here are a few things Joy and I do before we go on vacation that help us unplug.
1. We make arrangements for our pets, plants, and mail.
2. We tie loose ends at work (as much as possible).
3. We let someone in our family know how to reach us in case of an emergency.
4. We set up automatic payments for bills that are due while we're on vacation.
5. We clean out our fridge.
We're not the only ones who enjoy unplugging from daily responsibilities. Jesus also enjoyed unplugging from the busyness of ministry.
In our text, Jesus was extremely busy healing and delivering people in Capernaum. He was becoming really famous and people were expecting Him to perform at the highest level. However, Jesus knew the importance of unplugging from the responsibilities of daily life to relax, and refresh.
This is why we find in the gospels that Jesus consistently went to an isolated place to pray. In our verse, we're not told what Jesus prayed; we just know He took some time to pray alone. He took care of Himself in order to take care of others.
When was the last time you took some time alone to pray? When was the last time you took some time to unplug from the responsibilities of everyday life? Take care of yourself so you can take care of others!

Homeschoolers school on the court: Four LCS basketball seniors are on a quest for a state title
Published 9:15 am Saturday, January 7, 2023
Home schooled and schooling people on the court.
That is what four of the senior leaders on Lafayette Christian's boys basketball team do on a weekly basis.
Adam Saylor, Chaz Clark, Baylor Wise and Tre Franklin have come a long way in their time as Cougars.
"It is pretty cool to see us all come together for one last run," Baylor Wise said. "Me and Adam came from streetball, so we had to learn chemistry. For all us homeschoolers to come together as a team is special."
Clark, Franklin and Wise all joined the team in their freshmen years, but Saylor was a year late to the party, joining in his sophomore year, but he has fit the team like a glove.
"The school I went to in my freshman year shut down, so I was looking for somewhere to play," Saylor said. "I could have played other places, but this is a good Christian school."
Saylor is now arguably their best player. He leads the team in rebounds (9.7) and blocks (1.9) per game while averaging 16.7 points, good for second highest on the team. He offers the Cougars a presence in the post that few teams can match.
It is not just Saylor, all four players have key roles on a team that is trying to capture a state title.
"My first season here was my freshman year when I played JV," Clark said with a laugh. "We've all come a long way."
Making a deep run is something these players are all too familiar with. Last season saw the Cougars lose in the state championship game.
"It was disappointing," Franklin said. "We all wanted to win the state title. It was disappointing to make it all the way there and not win the state title."
Call it cockiness, call it confidence, but the Cougars set out on a major goal for this season: to win a state championship.
"We want to win the state championship," Saylor said. "We went to the state championship game last year but didn't get it done. This year we think it is our year. We should have got it done last year."
Coming just short a season ago fueled the fire in the belly of those who returned to the fold this season.
"I think after last year everyone wants to go back and get it," Clark said. "We weren't happy with how we played in that game last year."
The Cougars have all the tools as these four guys return even better while adding some new ingredients to the recipe as well.
The one major thing that has not changed over the years is coach Dave Gisler, who has guided the program to incredible highs.
"One of the main reasons I came here was because of the coach," Saylor said.
"We are calm and collected on the court," Wise said. "We operate smoothly and that comes from coach."
The continuity of the team season over season has led to this year's squad bursting with chemistry and fluidity on the court.
"We have a lot more depth, and we are more athletic than we've ever been, but we also have more chemistry than teams in the past," Saylor said.
"This team has a lot of chemistry because we've played together for so long," Franklin said. "We know each other's strengths and weaknesses and where we like to be on the court."
It has been a sensational start to the season with the Cougars beginning their season 6-1, but it is not how they start the season, it will be how they finish it that defines the 2022-23 season.
Regardless of the final outcome, the seniors share a strong bond on and off the court.
"We have a pretty good friend group, and we are probably going to go out to eat after practice and talk about basketball," Wise said.

Feature director delivers on Euro's Hefty campaign
By Lewis Lazare Aug 2, 2012
Scene from "Baby"
Bizarre certainly has its place in the world of advertising. Properly conceived and used in moderation, bizarre advertising can, in fact, be quite effective.
But as anyone who has watched a lot of television advertising can confirm, consumers are bombarded nowadays with too much bizarre advertising — most of which simply isn't bizarre or memorable in a good way.
The proper kind of bizarre advertising commands attention, but doesn't leave one scratching one's head in a state of confusion and/or disgust. A new campaign for Hefty trash bags from Euro RSCG/Chicago is pretty good at getting "bizarre" right.
The campaign's success probably has a lot to do with the director chosen to execute the two new 15-second spots. He is Jared Hess, perhaps best known as the director of the 2004 cult independent feature film "Napoleon Dynamite."
Hess cast performers who do bizarre well
Over the past decade the ad world has turned with increasing frequency to the feature film world to find new directing talent for TV commercials. In some cases, the directors may simply want to dabble in advertising just to see if they can do it. In other instances, the advertisers and ad agencies want to pull in a film director for the publicity value.
In the case of this Hefty work, it looks to be a little of both. What is clear, however, from these two Hefty spots is that Hess has a great eye for casting performers who can do bizarre exceedingly well in front of a camera.
Take "Baby" for example, the first of the two new Hefty commercials. This spot would be absolutely nothing memorable had Hess not found two actresses who could summon up bizarre facial expressions on cue — something these two women, performing roles as moms, do exceptionally well.
It's never easy creating a 15-second spot that pops. Yet Hess has managed to do so simply because he gets so much bizarro-ness from these two performers in just a few seconds of screen time.
"Rager," the second and better of the two 15-second executions, takes bizarre to new levels as it captures the unexpected early return of two travelers who appear to have left their home under the supervision of two strange people who know how to party and who, most assuredly, aren't at all worried about keeping things tidy.
With only 15 seconds at his disposal, Hess didn't have much time to generate an impression among viewers. So every one of the few images in this spot had to resonate. And they do. Each of the performers here does a great job of living in — and owning — this bizarre situation.
Messages are delivered subliminally
Some might argue that the scene is simply revolting. But Hess doesn't rub our noses in the repugnant mise-en-scene. Rather, he lets the actors take center stage — so the bizarreness they convey becomes the main focus, not the hideous mess of a kitchen.
What is also nice about these two Hefty commercials is the way they don't browbeat us with talk about how helpful Hefty trash bags can be in cleaning up major messes, or, in the case of babies, disposing of diapers and their accompanying odors.
These messages are delivered subliminally — again to keep the emphasis on the bizarre touches that make these spots resonate.
Who knows if Hess will continue to take on TV advertising assignments. He has now demonstrated he can handle the trickiest of all TV spots — the 15-second execution. We suspect he would do very well also with the longer online videos that many advertisers now make part of their ad mix.

If you are experiencing pain and you're not responding to medication, your doctor may prescribe a drug pain pump. These implantable devices send pain medication directly to the area of trauma providing pain relief with a small fraction of the medication needed if taken orally. Medtronic, one manufacturer of pain pumps has had a number of setbacks with their pain pumps that have generated a number of Pain Pump Side effects. These pain pumps are used to deliver morphine sulfate sterile solution to the spinal column to treat chronic pain as well as pain medications for the treatment of primary or metastatic cancer.
A Medtronic Pain Pump Warning has been issued for non-indicated formulations that contain neurotoxic preservatives, antimicrobials, or antioxidants, or may be incompatible with the device and can damage the system. Failure to comply with all product instructions, including use of drugs or fluids not indicated for use with Medtronic systems or of questionable sterility or quality, or use of non-Medtronic components or inappropriate kits, can result in improper use, technical errors, increased risk to patient, tissue damage, damage to the system requiring revision or replacement, and/or change in therapy, and may result in additional surgical procedures, a return of underlying symptoms, and/or a clinically significant or fatal drug under or overdose. Physicians must be familiar with the drug stability to drug concentration and pump flow rate before prescribing a pump infusion.
An inflammatory mass (seroma pocket) can result in serious neurological damage, including paralysis which may occur at the tip of the implanted catheter. Physicians need to monitor patients on intraspinal therapy carefully for any new neurological signs or symptoms, change in underlying symptoms, or need for dose changes. Failure to recognize signs and symptoms and seek appropriate medical attention can result in serious injury or death. Physicians need to instruct patients to notify them that they have an implanted pump before any medical procedures, to return for refills at prescribed times, to carry their Medtronic device identification card, to avoid manipulating the pump through the skin, to consult their doctor if the pump alarms and before traveling or engaging in activities that can stress the infusion system or involve pressure or temperature changes. Strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as short wave or MRI can negatively interact with the pump and cause heating of the implanted pump, system damage, or changes in pump operation or flow rate, that can result in patient injury from tissue heating, additional surgical procedures, or fatal drug under or overdose. Drug infusion should be suspended during MRI procedures. Physicians need to confirm pump status before and after MRI procedures. Patients need to be monitored after device or catheter replacement for signs of under/overdose. If you have experienced Pain Pump Side effects you might want to contact a Pain Pump attorney to be informed of your legal rights.
Pain Pump Side effects include spinal/vascular procedure risks such as infection, bleeding, tissue damage, all of which may require additional surgical procedures. Improper use of the device, failure of the catheter, programming errors, using inappropriate drugs or improper use may result in pocket seroma, hematoma, erosion, infection, post-lumbar puncture (spinal headache), CSF leak, meningitis, paralysis and device rejection. A seroma is a pocket of clear fluid that can develop after surgery. When small blood vessels are ruptured, blood plasma can seep out and inflammation occurs due to injured cells contributing to the clear fluid. No red blood cells are found in this fluid just clear serous fluid. If you have experienced any of these Pain Pump Side effects you should consult with a Pain Pump lawyer to discuss your legal rights in this matter. Given that a Medtronic Pain Pump Warning and recall has been issued, lawsuits have been filed around the country.
Due to all these complications a Medtronic Pain Pump Warning was initiated by the FDA warning physicians and consumers about the numerous problems with this implant. The Medtronic Pain Pump Warning alert has now become a Medtronic Recall in 2008. Improper connections between the implanted catheters and pumps that deliver infused drugs have been detected in 83 patients where one patient died. The FDA has classified this alert as a Class I Recall, which means a "reasonable probability" exists that use of this product may cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Neither the FDA nor Medtronic require that the pump be removed from patients. However, they recommended that patients who have recalled products be monitored closely. These improper connections can result in leaks of pain drugs that can cause overdoses, under doses or return of symptoms that the medication is supposed to treat according to Medtronic. These pumps are also used on patients who have spasticity related to cystic fibrosis, traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis as well as chronic pain.
Lawyer are now speaking with individuals who have been harmed after receiving a shoulder pain pump after surgery. According to the FDA some injections given by infusion pain pumps has resulted in reports of chondrolysis, a severe type of shoulder arthritis in which the cartilage of the joint is abruptly lost after shoulder arthroscopy.
If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a Medtronic Pain Pump installed in your shoulder, contact us now to speak with our qualified professionals about possible compensation. Call us now at 877-222-7069 or use the contact form for a free case review.

No different website represents France fairly like Notre-Dame.
Its fundamental rival as a nationwide image, the Eiffel Tower, is little greater than a century previous. Notre-Dame has stood tall above Paris for the reason that 1200s.
It has given its identify to one of many nation's literary masterpieces. Victor Hugo's novel Hunchback of Notre-Dame is understood to the French merely as Notre Dame de Paris.
The final time the cathedral suffered main harm was in the course of the French Revolution, when statues of saints had been hacked by anti-clerical hotheads. The constructing survived the 1871 Commune rebellion, in addition to two world wars, largely unscathed.
It's inconceivable to overstate how stunning it's to look at such an everlasting embodiment of our nation burn.
Locals should not well-known for his or her sunny disposition, however few can stroll alongside the banks of the Seine within the central a part of the capital with out feeling their spirits rise on the majestic bulk of Notre-Dame.
It is without doubt one of the few sights certain to make a Parisian be ok with residing there.
Like all cherished locations all over the place, it isn't one residents go to fairly often. Within the three a long time I spent in my native metropolis, I am unable to have been inside Notre-Dame greater than three or 4 occasions – after which solely with international guests.
There are numerous of these. The cathedral is not only the most well-liked vacationer website in Western Europe. Eight centuries after its completion, it is usually nonetheless a spot of worship – about 2,000 companies are held there yearly.
However it is usually way more than a non secular website. President Emmanuel Macron has expressed the shock of a "entire nation" on the fireplace. As Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo mentioned, Notre Dame is "a part of our frequent heritage".
Lots of these wanting on as flames engulf the constructing are in tears. Their dismay is shared by believers and non-believers alike in a nation the place religion has lengthy ceased to be a binding pressure.

Q: Como llenar un combo box de jsp desde un servlet utilizando jstl La idea es llenar un combobox en jsp desde un servlet, (es un ArrayList) utilizando jstl, lo que he conseguido hasta ahora es que solo aparezca el combo vacío.
Cree un método que llena una lista en el servlet y con forward lo redirijo al jsp en cuestión, pero no se que me falte o que pueda estar pasando.
Lo único que quiero es que en index.jsp me aparezca ese combo lleno listo para que el usuario seleccione una opción.
Imagino que es fácil pero no logro hacerlo, ¿Alguien me podría orientar?
Tengo esto en index.jsp:
<label for="cars">Elige uno: </label>
    <select id="cars" name="selectAutos">
<c:forEach var="vehi" items="${listaA}">
    <option value="${vehi.marca}"></option>
</c:forEach>
    </select>

Y esto en mi servlet:
public ListaController(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    List<Auto> listaAuto = llenaLista();
    request.setAttribute("listaA", listaAuto);

    request.getRequestDispatcher("index.jsp").forward(request, response);
}

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    //String llenarSelect = request.getParameter("selectAutos");
    List<Auto> listaAuto = llenaLista();
    request.setAttribute("listaA", listaAuto);

    request.getRequestDispatcher("index.jsp").forward(request, response);
}

Como no estaba usando un formulario no sabia su utilizar el método doGet o el constructor del servlet así que utilice ambos pero aun así tengo el error, les agradezco mucho.
