Letter T Riddle Puzzle l Family Game Time - Duration: 4:38.

Hey guys it's Carrie Anne from EverythingMom

and if you've seen our riddle post,

which I'll include the link below, you can

probably tell that riddles are sort of a

something that we like to do as a family.

Kind of challenge your brain to think a

little differently and it's a great

activity that all members of the family

can participate from youngest to oldest.

This Christmas one of the things that

everybody sort of received we're kind of

these riddle puzzles and one that I

received is at first glance really quite simple

All you had to do is using four

pieces of wood cut in various angles put

them together to form an uppercase

letter T.

So, sounds simple right? That's what I

thought when I started to do it.

I actually even challenged some of my

family to try and create it as well.

We were sort of stumped.

So all you're trying to do it take the four pieces

and you form it into the shape of a T, the letter T,

an uppercase T.

[fast music]

I realized when I was trying to create

the letter T, trying to solve this puzzle,

I was using sort of preconceived notions

about how the pieces should fit together.

I kept looking at these pieces like they

should go somehow like this, like up,

across and down. That thinking was making

it difficult for me and I think the

whole family to try and solve the puzzle.

So when I put that notion to the side,

when I forgot about looking at the

puzzle pieces as straight lines, an

idea occurred to me and it all

centered on one piece. One simple piece

with a notch in it. At the end of this

video I do share the solution but if you

haven't tried it yet i've included a

link below that will take you to the

post where you can get a printable of

the pieces that you print and cut out

and then try to manipulate the puzzle

yourself. And then if you are stumped or

if you do solve it and want to see if

you have the same solution that that I

had you can watch the rest of the video.

But like stop, go solve the puzzle and

then come on back.

[Solution Revealed]

This piece is the center.

So you have your line down

And it's a T. It's this one piece.

Everything else sort of falls in the

straight line design like based on how

you think the letter should go but it

was that one centerpiece that was having

a problem. When I convinced myself to not

think of the pieces like in straight

lines, when I noticed this little notch

here and thought of it as the connector

between the top line and the bottom,

the rest of it all fell into place to make the T.

Now that you've seen it I'm

sure you'll see that it actually isn't that

complicated. It really is based on how

you look at the pieces to determine the outcome.

So if you put some of those

notions away it really changes everything.

This sort of riddle puzzle a lot of fun.

A little bit of a challenge.

If you enjoyed solving this

puzzle with your family

let me know in the comments below so we'll

try and come up with a few more that you

can challenge your own family with.

As always you can find me here talking mom

confessions, family travel, books for kids

and just some sort of fun stuff like this puzzle

Be sure to subscribe so you

know in the next video is published and

until next time. Ciao

10 Popular Actors With The SCARIEST Movie Auditions - Duration: 6:17.

Since casting is such an integral part of any film, directors will typically hold auditions

for key roles.

This means that even some of the biggest stars in the industry have to try out before they

sign on for a project – regardless of how talented they are.

Sometimes, these screen tests don't always go so well.

It doesn't matter if the thespian in question has won numerous awards throughout their career;

there's always a chance they're just not the best fit for a certain role.

And they find that hard the hard way.

Here are 10 talented actors with the scariest audition stories.

If you like what you see, be sure to subscribe to our channel and give us a thumbs up!

Eddie Redmayne

Eddie Redmayne has received an Oscar for playing Steven Hawking and is now a part of J.K.

Rowling's famed wizarding world, but there is one thing we know he can't do: be a villain

in a Star Wars film.

Redmayne was one of the actors who read for Kylo Ren during pre-production on The Force

Awakens, and it's safe to say he bombed his audition.

Due to the secrecy of the project, Redmayne was reciting lines from other movies and only

knew his would-be character was a bad guy.

He started doing a poor Darth Vader impression and spoke in a funny voice, which didn't

win over the casting directors.

At least he has Newt Scamander.

Aaron Paul

The Breaking Bad star had a minor role in J.J. Abrams' Mission: Impossible 3, so it's

no surprise he met with the filmmaker again while Abrams was working on Cloverfield.

When Paul arrived for the audition, Abrams had the actor tell a story of a cool card

trick he performed during M:I 3, which caused Paul to lose his train of thought.

Instead of delivering a three-page monologue he memorized, Paul had to stop in the middle

of it and apologize.

All Abrams said was 'That's OK.

Thanks for coming in.' and Paul left without the part.

But shortly after he became Jesse Pinkman, so it all worked out.

Blake Lively

Lively looked to make movies at a very young age, trying out for the hit comedy Mrs. Doubtfire

when she was just 5-years old.

Blake's mom didn't want her daughter to get star struck by Robin Williams, so she

told Blake that she'd be reading with the comedian's twin brother.

When Lively walked in, the filmmakers introduced her to the one and only Robin Williams, and

Blake's response was, "You're not his twin?"

You can probably guess how things went after that.

When Blake came out of the room, she told mom that Williams had morning breath and moved

on.

Now that Lively is a successful actress, she can laugh about that mishap.

Chris Evans

These days, people are in awe to meet Captain America, but prior to the actor's Marvel

days, it was the other way around.

Evans met with Ben Affleck to audition for the Boston legend's directorial debut, Gone

Baby Gone.

Upon arriving, Evans became nervous and asked Affleck if the parking spot he chose was OK.

After an awkward conversation about parking meters ensued, Evans was mortified and couldn't

wait to leave the room.

He was so upset that he gave Affleck one-word answers to any question asked and kept rocking

in the chair he was sitting in.

Now that they're both established superheroes, maybe Affleck and Evans can work together

one day.

Chris Pine

Chris Pine made a name for himself as the new Captain Kirk in the rebooted Star Trek

series, but he could have had a role in a different 2009 sci-fi blockbuster.

Pine was in the running for James Cameron's Avatar, but his audition went horribly.

Recalling the experience, Pine mentioned that he went into the room not believing in himself

as he tried to picture Cameron's ambitious vision for the film.

He stopped halfway through his reading, and the casting director was either smiling or

laughing at him.

Neither one would be ideal, and the role of Jake Sully eventually went to Sam Worthington.

Pine has led three successful Star Trek movies, so it's clear he's got talent.

Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal has emerged as a chameleon actor capable of completing transforming himself

for a role, but he's steered clear of big-budget productions.

Maybe his awful experience auditioning for Lord of the Rings played a role in that.

Gyllenhaal read for Frodo, but nobody told the actor that the character had an English

accent.

Gyllenhaal recited his lines in an American accent, which didn't please Peter Jackson.

The director told Gyllenhaal to fire his agents and felt it was one of the worst auditions

he'd seen.

This is why it's always best to prepare as much as possible, a lesson Gyllenhaal seems

to have learned.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leo has played everything from a sleazy stockbroker to a dream thief to a vicious slave owner

in his career, so there's very little he can't do.

Director Baz Luhrmann discovered one limitation of DiCaprio while casting Moulin Rouge: singing.

Leo admitted he feels he has a horrible singing voice, but tried out for the musical anyway.

Luhrmann played piano while DiCaprio sang a tune, and when the Oscar winner reached

a high note, Luhrmann stopped and said, "I don't know if this conversation should continue."

Leo has acted in numerous genres, but this is one he probably won't audition for again.

Some people just aren't cut out for singing.

Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper quickly rose to the top of the A-list thanks to a trio of Oscar nominated

performances that made him an awards season mainstay, but before he became a critical

darling, his career could have taken a different trajectory.

Cooper was one of the names considered for 2011's Green Lantern, but the actor didn't

really take his audition seriously.

His screen test amounted to doing an impersonation of Christian Bale's gravely voiced Batman,

when the casting people wanted him to just talk normally.

Cooper didn't get the role, and that turned out to be a bullet dodged.

Now, we're just wondering when he'll win his Academy Award instead of how he'll recover

from a flop.

Daniel Radcliffe

You know the old saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it?"

Even a kind-hearted hero like Harry Potter forgets that sometimes.

While in an audition, Daniel Radcliffe was gossiping about somebody when another person

came walking in the room.

Radcliffe continued his story and when he finished, he came to the sobering realization

that the person he was talking about was a good friend of who Radcliffe had to audition

for.

We don't know which movie this was, but it's safe to say it's not a project on

the actor's IMDb page.

Talk about an awkward situation.

Channing Tatum

Channing Tatum has gone from a pretty boy to a go-to actor who has worked with respected

auteurs like Steven Soderbergh, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen brothers, but he had a rocky

journey to the top.

Earlier in his career, Tatum auditioned for a role in Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, but

he forgot the most important lesson: remember your lines.

Yes.

Tatum could not remember the dialogue he was supposed to say during the screen test and

ended up freaking out and sweating profusely.

He obviously didn't get that part, but he managed to turn things around down the road

and become a Hollywood leading man.

Chloe Grace-Moretz

The legendary Martin Scorsese is a director every actor dreams of working with, and when

auditioning for him, there's no limits to what people will attempt to get in his favor.

When trying out for one of the lead roles in Scorsese's love letter to cinema Hugo,

Chloe Grace-Moretz rolled the dice and told the filmmaker a little lie.

The Georgia-born actress told Marty that she was British and tried to pass it off so she

could get the part.

Apparently, Chloe is good at fudging up the truth, since Scorsese cast her in Hugo.

If he was impressed, Moretz did something right.

Conclusion

Those are just some of the worst audition stories from the A-listers.

Which ones did we miss?

Bringing delight and warmth to waste paper collectors - Duration: 4:52.

Often spotted in the streets of Korean cities are elderly people collecting cardboard boxes

and other paper material.

Making a living this way is physically demanding... and the rewards are small, but they have little

choice.

To provided some much needed support, a couple of groups started some remarkable projects

sure to bring some warmth to them this winter.

It's time for our News Feature tonight with Oh Jung-hee.

69-year-old Kim Hyo-soon collects cardboard boxes and other waste paper for a living in

Seoul's Gwangjin-gu.

Despite the winter cold... she walks all around town to find paper material that's been thrown

out.

"I come out in the morning and return home at four in the afternoon.

I earn anywhere from 33 to 41 dollars a month."

It's physically demanding for paper collectors, who are mostly elderly, to stay out in the

cold all day long, pushing and pulling a big, heavy handcart.

But Kim's work has recently become much more manageable.

A group of students from Seoul National University came up with new, much lighter type of handcart...

that has space for advertisements.

"Our carts are only about 40 kilograms -- much lighter than the ordinary ones, which weigh

from 60 to 90 kilos.

And because collectors are easy to spot just about anywhere,... we attached advertising

billboards to the carts so they can make some extra money.

The collectors get 90-percent of the advertising profit."

There are about 1-point-7 million collectors nationwide... and their average monthly earnings

range from 33 to 83 dollars.

For them, 33 dollars in advertising profit is no small amount of money.

"Because of the current economic situation... elderly collectors barely earn 4 dollars a

day.

Using the new handcart helps them quite a lot, indeed."

"This cart is so much easier to pull and push.

It's lighter, and I can load more.

The small one I usually use -- it often falls over.

And now I earn more I'm really grateful to these students.

Who would think to help me like this?"

Lee says his team hopes to expand the use of the new carts... so that paper collectors

can take more pride in their job... by making it less tiring... and giving them a greater,

more stable income.

"The environment ministry will provide us with support to produce 100 new handcarts.

These will be used in Gwanak-gu and Gwangjin-gu districts.

But in the end, we hope we can make a lot more so that every collector in the country

can use one."

"This exhibition doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary -- with its colorful paintings

on white canvases.

But there's a special difference here.

The canvases on which these small and cute paintings are drawn... are made of wastepapers."

A volunteer sits down to make canvases out of discarded boxes.

These boxes are bought directly from the collectors at a price ten times higher than what the

market pays.

"We learned that paper collectors can't earn very much... despite how physically demanding

their work is.

So we decided to create a virtuous cycle where it's possible to make a decent profit from

discarded paper.

The product we chose to sell is artwork on waste-paper canvases."

The volunteers make the canvases by themselves... and other talented volunteers fill them in

with paintings or calligraphy.

The art is sold to the general public... and the proceeds are used to buy more boxes.

"It is truly wonderful to be a part of this project.

The main driving force of this whole thing is love.

And my volunteering produces tangible results."

These projects are in their early stages... and still have a long way to go.

But they've already brought delight and warmth to paper collectors.

They say sharing doesn't have to be on a huge scale.

Rather, it starts with showing a bit of care for our neighbors.

"Many tend to think that, to share, we have to hand over a lot of money.

The heads of big companies donate tens of thousands of dollars.

But, sharing doesn't necessarily have to be like that.

We achieve it just by finding another use for scrap cardboard."

"Sharing starts with paying attention.

All the time we see around us elderly people collecting waste paper... but we tend to see

them as a minor part of our society.

Showing warm attention and love for our neighbors will in the end come back to us as happiness."

Korean eyes on outgoing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon over likely bid to run for presidency - Duration: 2:04.

Speculations continue to mount UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon... could run for the presidency.

Ban will finish his term in the UN office at the end of the year... and will return

to South Korea in mid-January.

Ji Myung-kil has an analysis of the outgoing UN Chief's possible next move.

Outgoing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expected to engage in a variety of political

activities... likely as a conservative presidential candidate... when he returns to Korea on January

15th.

On Friday...

Ban was quoted as saying in a meeting with a ruling Saenuri Party lawmaker in New York...

that Korea needs to achieve political integration... and seek economic and social compromises.

Ban added that Korea faces a crisis, and that, in such times,... vulnerable groups such as

the young, women and the elderly... face the biggest challenges.

Amid expectations that he will run for president, however,... the UN head refrained from commenting

on his political future.

The right-leaning parties have welcomed Ban's possible bid for the presidency... while the

opposition parties have said they will set up a taskforce to verify Ban's qualifications.

Since he hasn't confirmed that he plans to run, Ban has also not elaborated on whom he

would team up with for a presidential run... but he did hint that in general he would be

open to working with various political groups.

Ban could form an alliance with lawmakers who've broken away from the ruling Saenuri

Party or he could align with the second largest opposition group, the People's Party, for

the election currently scheduled for December 2017.

The former career diplomat Ban, who has no political base in Korea, is expected to meet

with leaders from all walks of life before making a final decision on a run for the presidency.

Korea on alert against bird flu during year-end season - Duration: 1:43.

Korea remain high alert over avian influenza, enlisting civil servants, police and soldiers

in quarantine efforts.

The nation's culled a record number of poultry in a record amount of time... dwarfing the

horrors of Korea's first AI outbreak in 2013.

Kim Hyo-sun has the latest.

This season's bird flu outbreak in Korea has led to the culling of a record number of poultry

birds -- over 28-point-4 million nationwide.

That's the most since the country's first-ever outbreak of avian influenza in December 2013.

In fact, the quarantine authorities say the nation has lost 17 percent of its poultry

stock.

Although only two new suspected cases of AI have been reported in the past three days,...

local authorities are on alert because the movement of people reaches a peak around the

end of the year, which can exacerbate the spread of the virus.

The falling temperature is another factor that can help it spread.

All local governments are engaged in efforts to contain the outbreak,... with Chungcheongbuk-do

Province intensifying supervision of the region's migratory bird habitats and poultry farms.

In Jeollabuk-do Province, public officials, police officers and enlisted soldiers have

been mobilized to strengthen sterilization efforts there.

And Gyeongsangbuk-do Province has called off all annual year-end sunset events.

It's also laid out mats on the ground at scenic outdoor places where people will gather to

see the first sunrise of the new year, which sterilize the shoes of visitors so they don't

inadvertently bring or take the virus with them.

2016 Stitching Wrap Up & 2017 Lack of Plans Flosstube - Duration: 31:13.

hey guys welcome to my 2016 wrap up video

i hope you had a Merry Christmas and a

Happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa i hope you

ate too much and laugh too much and

stitched too much and partied like it was

1999 all over again

99 was a really good year was it not? i had

a great christmas my sister bought me

this shirt and I'm wearing it for three

days I just washed it and got it out of the

dryer again I don't know what kind of

magic is in it but it is the most

comfortable thing I've ever put on my

body

it's called a cuddle dud and I don't

ever want to wear anything else for the

rest of my life. it has thumb holes and

these are so you can pretend like you're

one of those girls that dances with

danny kaye during the choreography

number of white Christmas

that's what these are for perfect

so in this video I'm going to go over

the things that I finished in 2016

I did more stitching than I've ever done

in my life in a year this year I don't

know

yeah i did a lot of stitching and I have

a lot of finishes a couple of that

you've never seen I haven't showed them

on my channel before so hopefully it

won't be completely boring so we'll talk

about cross stitch again I've said this

to a couple people on like the messenger

but do you ever have those moments where

you're like I'm making videos about

cross stitch I'm once again watching

videos about cross stitch it's just

strange and wonderful and strange. so

here we go again another video about

cross stitch i'm going to show you these

things in the order that i have finished

them pretty much and the first five are

my patterns and that's just how it went

down this year so all the links to

everything i'm going to talk about will

be down below if you're interested in

anything i stitch this year so first

thing I finished was from my valentine

day....i did like five new

patterns for Valentine's Day this year

and it is a snarky heart that says can

you not. I don't even remember stitching

this but apparently I did because look

here it is this was my first finish in

the hoop if I'm being completely honest

I never finished anything in a hoop

before didn't know how to make bows

because look at that I'm a really bad

bow maker and i have learned how to make

them better thanks to Vonna the twisted

stitcher but there we go i need to

redo this bow another thing i need to

redo is the back. looks fine and the

finishing is good it's tight but

I need to put some batting in these

because they kind of sinks in a little

bit even though it's tight

it needs something in the middle so

lesson learned

the second one is another Valentine's

Day piece is called remember how we fell

in love so sweet and it's bunnies and

snow and birch trees i really liked

doing this one I think it's nice i like

about finished not that all these are in

class because i love you but I don't

love you enough to disassemble all these

so you can see them better

sorry

the third finish is another hoop that

needs batting

better bow

it is home sweet home and it's just an

Indiana piece cute my favorite colors

because I just can't get enough aqua with

red adorbs third piece is my Shakespeare

piece will show you in a second but this

was the second piece i have stitched in

hand and the last piece i will stitch in

hand I didn't mind the process of

stitching in hand so much i think my

stitches look a little bit neater

I don't know why um from stitching in

hand but i just cannot get over

manhandling my fabric I wash my hands

before I stitch but you know your hands

are never completely clean if you didn't

know that

there you go your hands are never

completely

yeah we're not... okay side story when i

was in college

uh one of this one of the girls in my

dorm was a nursing student and she had

to do this like presentation of how

dirty your hands actually are so we're

all sitting around in this room and she

did some sort of speech for this project

she was doing and she made us go wash

our hands in the dorm bathroom and then

come back and shut the lights off and

she had some sort of light that showed

the germs on your hands and of course we

all like had neon green hands that were

not actually clean so i can't get that

out of my head I can't unlearn that and

so feeling up my fabric it's just not

for me

here's William Shakespeare is my homeboy

I love this piece i love the colors I

love his little pony tail and his goatee

and I love Shakespeare so here yes

the next piece is you can't touch this

my father's day MC Hammer mashup i love

this piece

I can't say it's my bestseller

definitely not but I think it's adorable

and I really enjoyed it i might actually

give this to my dad this year I never

actually intended to give this to my dad

because I I like it too much and he

doesn't watch my videos

you better believe it

ok the next pattern is by dork stitch it

is

come to the dark side we have cookies I

did this twice and finished it twice and

I will never do that again I think 2016

was the year I learned all the things

that will never do again I will never

again stitch a pattern twice it was for

a good cause this is the easy pattern

and worked up quickly but it was so it

was boring

I'll be honest it's adorable my son

loves it i'm glad i stitched it for my

son and my nephews

I like how it turned out but never again

I will never stitch the same pattern

back to back

I don't know how you guys do it i know

some people were talking about their

ornaments and like doing the same thing

for all their kids

wow you're a better person than I

because no I finish this

the lazy way I will never do that again

i bought one of those sticky pieces of

cardboard that you use for finishing

needlepoint and it was a nightmare

I did it to save time but i think i'd

actually took me more time because it's

just really hard to work with that

sticky stuff on it was really these

lines are completely straight but there

are straight as I could possibly finagle

them and it's just it's very not

forgiving

it's very bumpy i won't i won't be able

to show you that but i can see the

unevenness of how you know some parts of

the fabric or sticking really well and

some parts are and maybe I didn't do it

right but I also stitch this is on 16

count and because i'm a coverage freak i

stitch with usually too many strands so

i did this with i think i did it with

three

yeah i did this with three strands and I

think Darth Vader has four strands

because I always add an extra strand for

white and black

so this is some pretty thick stitches so

naturally the parts of the fabric that

don't have stitching on them are sunk

lower because they're sticking onto that

piece of cardboard and my stitches are

raised up just looks terrible

um so staff learns not to take the easy

way out

my son loves this and he doesn't care

and he'll never notice so there you go

one of my favorite finishes for the year

this was my pride and prejudice blessing

i just love this piece

um and I love seeing the different

finishes that people have done this has

been given for like a christening gift

and um different occasions

it's just I'm really proud of this

yeah what else going to say this is a

really quick stitch you don't like back

stitching i wouldn't recommend it

because most of the text is back

stitched but it goes really quickly and

I think it's beautiful so pride and

prejudice blessing

alright I'm going to look at my notes

because I'm just pattern away i'm not

paying attention i finished my Advent

animals that's in my last video if you

want to check those out hanging up on

the wall and I don't want to brag in

here

to show to you again your thought um I

finished festive friends my cat and

mouse piece i will show you that in my

next video because reasons I didn't iron

it and what else

all right i'm gonna show you my favorite

piece that I finished in 2016

I get emotional over this cross stitch I

I made it for sentimental reasons so I'm

kind of I don't know it and I don't get

to look at it a lot because it's not

finished its rolled away and so when i

actually get it out look at it like I

love this piece

it is going to market by Julia Cairns

this is by dimensions. I just

think it's gorgeous I love the colors I

love the background i love i love

everything about it

let's just gaze at it together

I need to fo that big time tho those are

all the things that i stitched and

finished i'm going to show you two

things that I didn't stitch but I

finished and I get to keep

don't you wish that was a category and

your list things. you didn't stitch them but

you have them and you get to keep uh this

next piece is one of my patterns it

is smokey the grammar police only you

can prevent bad grammar

ashleigh Morgan stitched this for me her

stitching is impeccable

it's lovely and then I got to ffo it and

keep it as one of my models i will link

Ashley's channel down below she has some

gorgeous gorgeous projects she's doing

portrait of Veronica faster than the

blue blazes so check out her channel

down below but her stitching is lovely

and I'm so glad that um yeah so glad

that I get to have this it's an

important message that needs to go out

into the world

the second thing i have to show you that

i did not personally stitch is stinkin

adorable and it was stitched by my

ten-year-old daughter Phoebe. Phoebe has

done embroidery and needlework before

but she's totally new to cross stitching

one day she just picked up my world

of cross stitching magazine and fell in

love with some Durene Jones ornaments

that were in the last issue and decided

to stitch so she stitched this and i

finished it into an ornament thanks to

Vonna's pillow ornament tutorial and here

it is . she put her initials

and the corner

this is adorable this is the most

adorable thing hanging on my tree now

and she made my heart happy

Phoebe is my crafty girl and she cracks

me up

you know I don't think that she's

actually paying I I don't think she's

paying attention to like my cross stitch

blah blah blah that I do but she is one day we were

sitting at the table and she opened up a

issue of World of Cross Stitching

she's looking at this pattern it was a

woman i don't remember which pattern it

was but there's a lady in a dress and

she's looking at it and she says mom

this pattern could really use some back

stitching and she was totally right

that pattern needed some backstitching

hilarious at first I was like what did

you just say that this pattern is some

back stitching. i had two

give up this year the first being dance

at Bougivoul by Renoir that was my full

coverage piece that I just decided I

didn't like the definition in the

pattern and i also didn't like stitching

full coverage so tried it not for me i

will admire your full coverage pieces

from afar the second give up

I'd never admitted to its spring

delivery by Plum Street samplers I was

having such issues with the colors on

that pattern

um didn't match the picture and i am not

blaming the designer or anything but you

know how that drives you crazy when you

bought the pattern because you like the

picture and then it didn't work out like

the colors don't match the picture and

yeah I did the floss toss didn't like

the colors and stupidly thought that if

I stitch the colors in the fabric but

that would make a difference now don't

you

yeah and then i tried to do some color

swapping after i started with the

original color scheme and I just had it

up to here uh and i ended up adopting

that WIP to tricia at three owl

threads and she is taking care of it and

feeding it and loving it

yeah and I don't regret doing that at

all

life is too short to be stitching on

something that makes you want to pull

your hair out so I first for this year

was stitching with petite treasure

braid i really enjoy that stuff and i

look forward to stitching with it more

yeah so looking forward to 2016 17 2017

i hope to finish all the WIPS that I

have going on right now so that would

include Song of Solomon sampler, giant

harry potter, and and forest grew i think

i'll be able to finish giant harry

potter by mid-summer. and a forest grew will

probably take me most of the year to

finish up that pattern is just so

gigantic and that is one of the lessons

I feel like I learned this year on the

gigantic patterns i don't know i do

enjoy the process of stitching big

patterns and I think having that

experience with the advent animals and

getting so many blocks done a month

really was fun and then I turned around

and started to gigantic pieces I don't

know I i like the process of actually

finishing things and I don't like

letting things linger but yet I'm drawn

to such a gigantic patterns I don't know

how to sort that out in how I work

through things

No

but it's not a huge deal because i enjoy

cross-stitching I don't like

micromanaging it i don't like setting

huge goals I don't like forcing myself

to do things I don't want to do this is

my area fun and so I'm not going to

hyper analyze it but i do want to finish

those two gigantic pieces and yeah I

don't know whatever right whatever

possible starts i do want to start a

mother and child that's another Julia

Cairns piece that have the kit for also

want to start my Julia line French named

piece LaBrie De Noe I want to start that

one I don't know we'll see i have a list

of things that have interested in and

that i would like to start but i would

like to finish these big giant pieces

before I get too involved in a bunch of

other projects

yeah things I want to work on next year

i have attention issue and I didn't

realize that I had attention issue until

I was stitching on that damask ada is

really really soft and so all of a

sudden I was noticing gaping holes and

um that's not good i remember vana

saying something to the effect that um

you know she knows all that how it's

supposed to be perfect because she's

trying to win the grand champion of the

fair that she goes to but um if you hold

your whip up to the light and you can

see holes distinct holes you have

attention issue and I don't think I

noticed it as much because i was doing

so many projects on aida for my

store and I you know overload my strands

of loss because i like really really

thick coverage

that there's no room to have holes but

have noticed on my giant harry potter

which is on lugana and that i have holes

i have holes and so I needham I need to

lighten up on my attention but it's one

of those issues that you have to

constantly be keeping yourself aware of

or you just fall back into habit of

attention that you're used to

so I've been working on that but it's

not known so hot

um yeah I need a lot i need to lighten

up on my attention and not pull it pull

my loss so hard

okay um the other thing that I want to

work on is my tails all sounds so

bizarre i need to work on my tails so

how many stitches do you run your your

needle through to finish off a strand I

go a little nuts and i need to stop

doing that as we have a real issue on my

and forest grew where you have a motif

that's this big and has seven colors and

so you're finishing off seven colors in

this little time space and when you're

like me and you want to run your needle

through about 10 stitches before you cut

the thread that doesn't go so hot so i

need to stop doing that and what's the

minimum i feel comfortable with six

cutting back to six but i know that you

probably don't need to do that either

right maybe three how many stitches do

you go behind i would love to know those

are my issues

sorry about that my camera did its thing

so those are my cross stitch issues that

I have to get sorted out

so yeah that's pretty much all i have to

talk about let's see what i got for

christmas i asked my husband for a new

perfume that i picked up myself at the

store I sprayed it on my grocery list

and tester bottle looked pretty normal

you know it doesn't they don't have like

all the frills that the you know normal

perfume that you buy because they're

just testers so I sprayed it on my

grocery list and it was amazing so I

said okay go get me this perfume has

really stupid name and then I opened it

on Christmas and here's what the bottle

looks like

what so apparently my alter ego is a

female rapper but this stuff smells

amazing i'm going to tell you the name

don't judge me it is viva la juicy juicy

couture

what in the world but it smells like

magic and rainbows and the Scottish

sunset really good at describing scents

so the succulent died

it wasn't its death throes for about two

weeks so I kept it by my bedside and it

crossed the rainbow bridge so I think

for the sake of the environment i'm not

going to be getting any more houseplants

because i have a record

what else is there to talk about

you're just sitting there stitching

right

top 5 books i read this year i'll give

them to you i read 49 looks this year

which sounds like an incredibly large

number but for me it is incredibly small

in 2014

I read a hundred and fourteen books

which now sounds like I was insane i

wouldn't put that out of the question

top 5. the best book I read this year

was drumroll gone with the wind by

margaret mitchell that look is amazing

it is a thousand pages law and I didn't

want it to end it was incredible i have

never seen the movie so I walked into it

completely blind

I of course knew the last line that

Rhett says in the book or at least in

the movie uh it was it was incredible i

have a hard time picking up a book that

big because i know it's going to take me

forever to read and it could have been

2,000 pages long

it was really really good

there are a few pages of haha total

racial nonsense where Margaret Mitchell

goes into her theory of how black people

are not very smart but other than that

there wasn't there was less gardless of

that garbage and I thought there would

be i'll just put it that way there was

just a few pages that made me want to

gag but um amazing story number two

would be the circle by dave eggers that

book is it's not like an amazing piece

of literature that you're going to drag

your grandchildren about it just

explores the idea of transparency and

internet and audience and it's just

really interesting

yeah i could go on about that one but

well the movies coming out this year it

looks terrible what's happened to Tom

Hanks that's what I'm wondering

used to be this great thing now he's

made some good movies he's just like in

everything and now he's becoming like

this stock old man character the movie

looks bad

read the book alright what else that i

read this year i said on top five

numbers thinking off the top of my head

oh all the light we cannot see by

Anthony Doerr that we've got a lot of

hype this year

well deserved that was an amazing story

beautifully written

aah suspenseful some serious it's lovely

it's just an awesome story I think

anyone would enjoy that book it's just

it's heartwarming

I'm not a booktuber what do you want it

was an amazing story

go read it another book that I really

liked was my brilliant friend by Elena

Ferrante that would also got a lot of

well-deserved type it was amazing that

lady can write I mean it's basically

just a story of two best friends growing

up in Italy and that sounds really

boring but it was completely captivating

ended up reading the whole series but

the first one is definitely the cream of

the crop my brilliant friend just

getting it was a top-four list because i

can't remember anything else that i read

so let's wrap this up i don't have a

career as a booktuber

I hope you ring in the new year with

style happy stitching everyone I from me

to you a very heartfelt I enjoy your

videos and your comments you guys the

cross-stitch commune really needs to

Korea's consumer prices rise 1.3% y/y in December - Duration: 2:13.

Korea's consumer prices logged fourth straight month of growth above one percent in December.

This pulls up the prices for the entire year were one-percent -- after dropping to a record

low in 2015.

Kim Min-ji breaks down the digits for us.

Korea's consumer prices rose 1-point-3 percent in December from a year ago.

Although that's slowed from the month before,... the figure has been in the one-percent for

four straight months.

Statistics Korea says the rise was mainly led by high food prices,... which jumped due

to hot summer weather and a typhoon in the same season.

"Everything's so expensive these days.

I don't know how many times I compare and look for better deals when I buy groceries."

"It seems food prices change so much and its a burden for people for like me.

I prepare a list before I come, but sometimes I end up not being able to buy everything

I planned to."

Prices of agricultural and fisheries products spiked 6-point-7 percent this month from the

year before,... while prices of fresh foodstuffs, which includes vegetables and fruit,... have

risen 12 percent.

This is due in part to an egg shortage in the wake of the recent outbreak of avian influenza.

Korea has culled over 20 million poultry across the nation since the first case of bird flu

was reported in November.

But prices of gasoline and electricity have fallen over 11 percent from a year ago thanks

to a government drive to lower household electricity bills.

Over the course of the year,... Korea's consumer prices have risen 1 percent.

After posting a 1-point-3 percent rise in 2014,... prices fell to a record-low of 0-point-7

percent in 2015... and they're now back up in the one-percent range.

Come 2017,... even though there are downside risks ahead, such as slowing domestic demand,...

consumer prices are expected to rise further, due to a pick up in global oil prices... and

the potential lasting impact of the bird flu outbreak.

Kim Jong-un's New Year's address to reveal his blueprint for rule in 2017 - Duration: 2:14.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is set to lay out his plans for 2017 in a New Year's

speech.

His remarks could provide some insight into the direction Pyongyang might take... especially

with leadership changes in the works for Seoul and Washington.

Connie Kim fills us in on what we could expect from the unpredictable young leader.

Kim Jong-un's New Year's speech is set to lay out the blueprint of how he plans to rule

as he enters his sixth year in power.

The young leader's words are carefully scrutinized each year for any clues to the secretive regime's

intentions.

"Kim Jong-un's annual New Year's speech aims to consolidate the regime.

It also lays out the direction the leader will take to run it."

Pyongyang has stated that its strategic stance as a nuclear state has changed since Donald

Trump was elected the next U.S. president, calling for a change in Washington's North

Korea policies.

Considering the North has so far refrained from launching any missiles since Trump's

victory in early November, attention will be focused on what message, if any, Kim will

relay to the new administration.

South Korea's turbulent domestic political situation is another factor Kim is likely

to consider in his speech.

Rather than proposing government level inter-Korean talks, some North Korea watchers have suggested

Kim might call for talks with civilian organizations.

At the start of 2016, Kim said North Korea was willing to discuss the issue of reunification

with anyone who truly hopes for a reunified peninsula.

Kim's internal message is another element to watch out for.

Earlier this year,... North Korea held its first Workers' Party Congress in more than

three decades,... laying out a five-year economic plan for the regime and solidifying his leadership.

It's thought Kim will lay out his vision for how to further cement his powerbase and accelerate

his idolization process.

"Seoul's unification ministry, however, says history shows North Korea hasn't always stuck

to the vows that are made in the New Year's speech... when it comes to inter-Korean relations

and its nuclear weapons development,... calling most parts of the address propaganda.

Connie Kim, Arirang News."

Independent counsel team questions key figures in scandal probe - Duration: 1:50.

Meanwhile, the independent counsel dedicated to the Choi Soon-sil case speeds up its probe

into that scandal.

The team also questioned a number of key figures to expeditiously uncover the truth.

Hwang Hojun has the updates.

Three days after he was questioned for the first time,... former senior presidential

secretary for policy coordination Ahn Jong-beom was once again questioned by the independent

counsel team on Friday afternoon.

The team suspects Ahn -- who kept detailed notes of Park's directives -- would also

have included an account of Samsung's one-point-three million U.S. dollar donation to the Korea

Winter Sports Elite Center, a foundation controlled by Chang Si-ho, the niece of Choi Soon-sil.

The team is also questioning Chang and Deputy Vice Culture Minister Kim Chong about the

same matter to determine whether the nature of the relationship between the tech giant

and the foundation.

During a briefing by the independent counsel team on Friday, spokesperson Lee Kyu-chul

said the team has acquired the necessary information for its investigation into the college admission

of Choi Soon-sil's daughter Chung Yoo-ra... after raiding the home and offices of Chung's

former chancellor and professor as well as the Korea Equestrian Federation.

Choi is also suspected of using her influence to win special treatment for her daughter

at school.

Lee also refuted comments from President Park's legal team implying the independent counsel

team's investigation is biased.

"I'm not sure on what basis the claim that the team lacks political impartiality was

made, but we don't have anything specific to say about that."

The team's investigation has now continued for almost a full month, including the 20

days of preparations guaranteed by law.

"The independent counsel team now has 60 days to go in its investigation, which has an optional

30-day extension, and it's likely to take on an added urgency with the impeachment trial

set to begin in the first week of the new year.

Hwang Hojun, Arirang News."

Floor leaders of four main parties vow cooperative politics in 2017 - Duration: 2:34.

The floor leaders of the four main parties held their first ever meeting together.

A most promising start with all vowing to fully cooperate in the running of state affairs

in the upcoming year.

Park Ji-won has more from that maiden gathering.

The floor leaders of all four political parties gathered Friday morning... for a meeting chaired

by National Assembly Speaker Chung Sye-kyun.

Except for main opposition Democratic Party floor leader Woo Sang-ho,... the other three

-- Chung Woo-taik of the Saenuri Party,... Joo Ho-young of the tentatively named New

Conservative Party for Reform... and Joo Seung-yong of the People's Party -- are fairly new to

the job.

In their first meeting as floor leaders, they shared their particular hopes for the assembly

in the year to come.

"In the new year, our party will fully cooperate on matters related to the people's livelihoods.

We also hope to accelerate the discussions on revising the Constitution, to improve people's

lives."

"The 13th National Assembly also had a four-party system, and their bill-passage rate exceeded

80 percent, higher than other assemblies.

I hope this parliament will also be able to pass many bills benefiting the public."

"I hope the new floor leaders of the four parties run a joint policy discussion body

with the government."

"With the launch of the special committee on constitutional revision, we need to discuss

how to rectify the nation's wrecked system."

"The four floor leaders also agreed to hold an extraordinary parliamentary session next

month,... in addition to a planned session in February,... to address the vacuum in state

affairs."

Meanwhile,... the ruling Saenuri Party's interim leader In Myung-jin said Friday that the core

of his efforts to overhaul the party lie in a personnel shake-up.

Specifically, he said former party leaders, and those who assumed key roles in the Park

administration, all bear great responsibility for failing the president.

YTN "Isn't it true that those who assumed the

role of party chair, and those who served in key government posts failed to assist the

president?"

In said those responsible should leave the party by next Friday, adding that he will

make the names of those who are leaving public the following Sunday, January 8th.

He added that he would decide his position by then,... indicating that he could resign

from his post if his plan of expelling the others fails.

Park Ji-won, Arirang News."
