What's up guys welcome to today's vlog so on the vlog today, I've got a special guest Danielle Who is a stylist here at salon gratitude? And we are going to go over some highlighting techniques the thing I love about today's video is that? Danielle's going to show you how to highlight with a sponge correct, so That should be really fun for you guys and also it's on extra curly hair So you're gonna get a ton of knowledge on curly hair from Danielle and also sponge highlighting So it's a pretty fun technique. Well, I really liked it because it just It gets the maximum amount of highlighting with the least amount of work So you're not sitting there trying to fight with the curls Combing through it or weaving and all of that So you get a good dispersion of highlighting as well as her natural So whether it's curly blown out it just works both ways sweet guys, so I hope you guys enjoy the video We're gonna get started here. We go. Hey everybody. So today I chose to use vero blue from joyco I am doing a one to one and a half ratio with their 30 volume developer So mixing it to a really nice creamy consistency so that way it can work a little smoother now I'm just separating it into four basic quadrants Just to keep everything a little easier to work with now. I'm just zigzagging in a diagonal back section and Cutting that section in half Sections are pretty large just because with your curl pattern It's a little blown out the sponge is a sea sponge that soaks up a lot of products You can see the little pitted edges. I start in the mid shaft and then work my way up And then once I place my foil I saturate so that way the underside in the mids get a little bit more Saturation and lightness going through it. So pretty much like a basic balayage And again just splitting that in half with another zigzag that way the hair has somewhere to lay and Evenly disperses the highlight with the natural color I also use the corner of my sponge just to feather it a little bit closer to the hairline without giving it a hard harsh line Daniel would you say that there's a big difference between when you're coloring fine hair and coloring curly hair taking more hair at a time when it's curly I Would say yes, just because Then you have a little bit more cushion You don't have to go all the way through to the bottom of the hair and then that's where you get a little bit more of that spotting Okay, so again just placing my foils I chose to use the foils just so that I can incubate the hair a little bit more and Get it up to that orange yellow face I also chose the blue lightener because you can see the color lightning a little bit better than if you had a White powder lightener. Hey, so again using that corner just to Shimmy that right up to the scalp and I'm more of a repetitive motion kind of stylist So that's why I like this technique Because it's not like you have to change it from section to section. So it's really fast really easy Now once you get to the top You have the choice of whether you want to weave it just to make yourself a little bit more comfortable Or you can go in and do the same thing as I was where you're just Saturating that top piece and the mid shafts and ends totally up to you So we're gonna process for about 25 minutes and As you can see here, this is the view of both straight and curly So when Danielle tone guys she used a level 8 ash and then a dash of one in just to add a little bit of Depths to it on dry hair using the joyco beat shake Great texturizing product gives a huge amount of shine to the hair and Is really touchably soft So thanks everybody and I hope you like the video all right guys So if you liked today's video, which I hope you did make sure you subscribe to the channel also, let us know if you have any questions in the comments below and Check out freesaloneducation.com for more videos just like this.

Oh, GGs that hit box. That was insane. Which I was pretty rude and that was just rude when he did How's it going everybody? Dottanoi here back again with some more videos on this channel and yep If you couldn't tell my internet went down the trash again, so I can't play fighting games Haha, I don't know why this keeps happening, but today on the channel I thought it'd be a lot of fun if I can't play any new fighting games I might as well go back in time and kind of react to how bad I was in Dragon Ball fighters way back three years ago Now that we're officially coming up on the game's three-year anniversary We're going to go to this videos tab here and the thumbnails are about to get a lot Well, I don't know how you can get worse. Oh God. It's only been two weeks.  We're going to the arrow of this videos We'll see how the oh yep. Yep. These are my finest of those to date It's just a screech. It's just the characters. This is to my god, man use Photoshop Of course I think a natural starting place for a video like this would be the first video on this channel Which isn't actually me playing we'll take a look at that later, but high-level DBZF I didn't even get the title right three years ago So very good start to my Dragon Ball fighters channel didn't get the name of the game, right? But that's fine. Let's go ahead and give it a watch Let's go on internet. Dottodoya here with a match analysis for Dragon Ball fighters. I Hate this video already. I hate this video already. Let's go ahead and take a look at how it did Okay, this is not accurate. It did not have this many likes when I uploaded or this many views Yeah, you see it's a lot of people being like they've come here from the before Let's see if anybody said anything means as I've been gone Who's here when Doya said you can see color two on his first video Oh, yeah, you can actually see Goku's original color two in this video. Let me skip through just to the part where yeah Yeah, see look at that's his manga color right there Of course without the all the shading, which you know, I still think even without the shading I'd really like to have that as a color as well But overall I think you can see what I'm doing here because this is my first fighters video The reason I actually started my channel is because I was kind of worried that Dragon Ball fans and fighting game fans would almost like Sort of clash in a way I thought fighting game fans would want to take it really hardcore and Dragon Ball fans wouldn't want to learn the fighting game stuff because all the fighting game fans might be like I don't know a bit too cold to learn So I wanted to start things off really basic. That's why at some point in this video. I talk about I'm explaining all the stuff like this. I start with um I also oh, yeah, yeah here you can see I talk about here What do I have to say about this? Do I explain what full screen means? I think it was a good choice by both of them and it puts the game into the state of neutral where they're both at the far end Yeah, I explain what full screen means So I was going really I was really trying to reach out to other Dragon Ball fans like me Because if you don't know I'm a fan of fighting games as a genre and I'm also a really big Dragon Ball fan separately Which is why I started this channel as early as I did like when did this video come out September 27 2017 I we I don't even think we had the beta at this point and this doesn't really have anything to do with the video But believe me back then I was so addicted to anything Dragon Ball fighters that I think I watched old matches Just on replay like pretty much once every week or something like that I was very very excited for this game bordering on probably a bit too unhealthy But yeah, that's pretty much all for this first video. I was just talking about um, oh, yeah Let's hear the let's hear my first ever outro this. Oh, this is gonna be so bad This is gonna be so bad really showed off the potential for high-level play in this game, and yeah guys. Thanks Very smooth very smooth it to the point All right. Well that was that video, but let's go ahead and move on to our first ranked match All right, so here's the first ever ranked match video. You can see I'm in earthling rank This was my first ever main team Goku blue Krillin and Tien so really really basic Obviously, I still liked all three of these characters still pretty fun. Um, they're all a lot better now actually These characters sucked back in the first of release of the game Goku blue was the best out of all of them, but even he was a shell of what he is now Oh, it's awesome. I got to show you guys my Oh Yeah, okay, so my Goku combo back then let me go back and show you what my Goku combo was Started out with it. Oh, gotta love that Okay, so that was the go that was the Goku combo I know that didn't look like anything, but if we go back a little I'll actually play it in slow-mo Just because and you need to be slow-mo to recognize it But I started off with the instant transmission. This was still I mean it's still a really cool move But back then I was like, yo, this move is sick. Alright, so the Goku combos right here And I'll show you to you this something you had to learn back in the day You had to delay this to hit your 2m So what I'm doing here is doing LL right away He does the kick and then you can see Goku fall and if I 2M'd right away This would whiff because Goku is in the you see look at that pop up So you had to wait which I did a little bit and then you get it You have to wait just just a tiny bit and then you could hit it. That was the Goku combo You'll see here. I'll speed it up.  I did not want to mess that up. I hit it. I was like, let me let me show I know this delay Then I just hit full auto combo. I'm moving right now. Look at this. Okay. I'm mashing. Oh, I still do that to this day Oh, oh Yeah, that was pretty bad 2h 2a. Why am I just mashing job? Why did I hit standing heavy? Oh God? This is bad. Okay. I didn't even switch Who what? Oh that was Goku. Why am I just mashing light? Oh I was I was really used to playing Street Fighter 5. I'm just jabbing. I'm jabbing every time I see him jump I try to jab right in me. No, what do you mean that hit me?  Let me slow that down. Did I really jab right there? Hold on God, why did I jab on everything? Just block or two age looking forward to seeing more of these games. You're pretty good. I appreciate that man Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. I wonder if this guy is still playing fighters You didn't subscribe.  Yo, let's go Hey, appreciate that that cool ink good looking out Oh, it's lagging. It is lagging so bad. 19 frames. 19 frames. Let's go. I'm not even talking That's how you know I was I was so in love with this game because 19 frames didn't even buy. I wasn't even fazed I was like I was looking at a miracle on my screen, dude It was like I was looking at a miracle on my screen that I was playing this game By the way, I still try to read a majority of the comments I get it's just it's gotten a lot harder with the more they come but I still answer questions like this I still try to help people that have any questions on fighters So feel free to ask it and if you see a question like that and I haven't responded to it Feel free to help other people out in the comments. Damn. Dada. You sound dead Okay, you can hear old Dada evolve in the current Dada with 225 This guy is absolutely wild. I don't think that's confident. That's that's more Excited inflection. I guess I should also explain kind of why you like this process happens with small youtubers And I think the reason is one the sound quality of my room has changed I don't have as much sound proof sound proofing as I did back then. That's why my voice sounds so dry Whereas right now there's less sound proofing so you can hear more of the echo stuff like that I'm more comfortable with the game. I'm more comfortable with talking really It just comes down to like experience and growth You'll see this with I think you'll hear something like this unless they start making YouTube videos and they're already like Trained and not I YouTube is really not performing especially especially with fighting videos, but if they're not shy I guess I'm a I'm a naturally pretty shy person So you'll see this kind of transition with a lot of youtubers. I think oh, yeah This is the shortest video of my channel by the way dramatic finish in ranked match live stream highlight This was from a live stream. I did on YouTube. I don't stream on YouTube anymore I stream over on Twitch, but I think in this stream people told me to upload this as a highlight right away I don't think I'd ever upload something this short now, but I was very excited. Oh, yes. Yes. Let's go. Don't sleep on y'all. I skipped it Yeah, that sucked That sucked I didn't get to see that. Oh, man, that would have been so sick I know a lot of people want to nemba and stuff like that personally if I could choose one character It would probably be raddits.  We still don't have raddits in the game. Why? No, dude, but this is a really good shot of I wish this is the kind of thing that makes me sad We don't get to DLC character drops that together anymore Obviously it makes more sense for a content from a content point of view like you know You can like take up more time so you can do less work and focus more on other stuff other projects So it's more it's a better system for games that aren't exactly the focus of Dragon Ball development right now But look at this shot of Bardock and Broly dude. This was so cool. This is still this is still pretty cool by the way Krillin is too good. You know, what's going on, buddy? Oh audio already sounding a lot better at this point my first time using my new team here Why is this the first time Super Saiyan Goku and Yamcha? We found the video where I found my first real main team I don't know why for the life of me. I'm struggling to get past that but hopefully today We'll at least get to 500 this intro is so bad like why do I why do I take these long pauses to think dude? Just go ahead stutter treat yourself to a stutter thousand They also in the newest update. They changed it from 60 seconds to 30 seconds. Oh, I forgot about that, dude This was one of the worst things about fighters fighters has gotten a lot of good lifetime updates This counter used to be 60 seconds now. That doesn't sound too bad. That's like oh more time to accept the match But once one person hits yes It goes down like right here. It's you can hear me say it goes to 30 I hit yes at 30 and I've been waiting since 30 if I hit yes at 60 I would have been here like locked out for a minute. So I wonder if I sound annoyed But even if this is a timeout, it's not a very long one. I mean it's so pretty long But I forgot about that that actually retroactively made me angry There used to be people that would sit here wait for you to hit. Yes, and then timer stall you for 60 seconds Let's go I Could tell that one was coming. I actually remember these colors do I had Krillin in purple and the other guys and white nice Okay, a little little risky. Oh Not bad nice. That was not a bad combo Yeah, I'm just still really good goku holding it down back in the day You had kind of had to play Krillin on point by the way because his assist was really bad They probably was still bad in this video. Oh Right here. Yeah, I was shmoove. I went pretty according to plan. Yeah, I'm concerned. Yeah, that was good Do go ahead feel yourself working on my Krillin stuff here. Yeah, it is a little more refined in the first video I watched. Oh Come on. You got to punish that dude Right through y'all. I was gonna bring that up to pass me. That was that was cheap I'm not feeling it dude. Oh, you can't you can't mash on that. You can't hit buttons after a minute Even past we do that. Is this actually the first Krillin combo? Hey, hey Ah Do it again. Oh, we did it Let's go do it again Do it again. Let's go Yo Back in the day. I was shmoving. Oh, I dropped it. Oh He blocked over it. Oh That was so sick. That was so sick Krillin is the best. Go ahead. Talk yourself up, man Whoa, whoa, whoa, what so sick Krillin is the best character in this game. Don't nerf him He's not that strong. He wasn't that strong back then either That was pretty sick though. And apparently I put a goku block to H and slow No, I want to see was it that egregious? Oh That was Look at that hit box It wasn't really the hit box that caught me off guard It was kind of the distance between like goku blacks right you like this is where he starts the 2h I'm backing up and then he steps into it. So overall it was pretty fair But that caught me off guard. Look at that hit box though drop it drop it drop it miss it Oh Gg's that hit box that was insane. That was pretty rude and that was just rude what he did Yeah, I agree with my former something I Played so poorly and I'm and I ended the video right where I started Everybody I You know, I will keep trying to do these videos as they are pretty fun to make obviously it's just me playing fighters If you let me know if you want the series to continue down in the comments below Let's skip ahead to like this one's pretty new Wait, that wasn't a little much much who I wasted it. That's whatever he has to block that Let's go All right, you're much much different energy you can kind of tell but again Um, I don't know I hope somebody got something out of this video if if like even if it was only laughing at me But maybe there's somebody out there that's afraid to make videos. Um, but yeah, if you want to make videos Just go ahead and make it I mean it all starts just by uploading one day And I think the next video came a few months after that and then this video came a few days after that a few days After that and then I slowly started building up to every day Missed a couple days. I kept trying new things. I kept trying new thumbnails out. You can see I went through a few styles like This kind of style of text where that bounced up I still I still did that for a while and then I went to I Don't know how long it took me to go to the Broly movie got released That was pretty exciting learning more about different thumbnails started playing some other fighting games here Some other Dragon Ball games different thumbnail styles different style of text again. You can start seeing it more now Pretty much didn't GT get that's actually a really good thumb. I don't mind that this thumbnail I don't mind either, but yeah, just start doing it if you're thinking about making videos. I guess is the best answer I've had a blast. Thank you so much for watching this impromptu video I hope I still get it up today. Otherwise it loses the point But if you enjoyed it, let me know down below in the comments other than that. This is a good thumbnail, too I wish I took off this text though That would look even better other than that while you're down there Make sure to hit the like button and subscribe to the channel if you want to stay up to date with our normal videos other than that I have been Dr. Doi you check out more videos that should be on your screen right now, and I will see you in the next one Thanks again for watching


I started adding because I'm like it's broken. It's gotta go down today But it went out today not yesterday. I am here stuck and then it went down after hours obviously But I held it too. Look, so we went down here.  Thank god. I'm gonna get you in the workshop, bro Yeah, everybody needs this workshop. So that's the point. That's exact. That's the point bow's making guys It should be everyone is in that work


Hello friends, I am Anish Pradacharya, senior research photographer from India investigating the catastrophic calamity ourselves brought upon us, namely the antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Like I did for that, bacteria, the great ancestor of all life form on earth developed multi-drug resistance and became the superpower as we challenged them with antibiotics. And now they are threatening our survival against them. I want to specify the dynamics of bacterial antibiotic resistance in natural environment so that we may design a new way to stop our primitives, better us than them, isn't it?


We'll call the third regular meeting in the Common Council to order. Pat, would you call the roll, please? Bowman, Berg, Boonee, Doyle, Groff, Manny, Montemayor, Moody, Perez, Rinflaich, Steffen, Van Akron, Vanderwil, Wongamon, Warner, Weninger, 14 present, Corms present. Alderman, Groff. Your Honor, I would move that we dispense with the reading of the Common Council meeting from April 21st and the same stand approved as entered on the record. Moved in second that we approved the minutes of the previous council meeting under discussion. Hearing none, all in favor? Opposed? Motion carried. Alderman, Rinflaich, would you lead us in the pledge, please? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Okay, we have two hearings this evening. I'll read them both and then if you would like to be heard, please step up to the microphone and give us your name, address. The first one is rezoning property located at 706 North 9th Street, and the second one is rezoning property located at 406 Pennsylvania Avenue. Any interested persons wishing to be heard? Any interest persons wishing to be heard? The staff person will be coming later. We are with Lutheran Social Services and we were requesting a zoning change for that property so that we can move our offices into that building. Lutheran Social Services has been located in Sheboygan for over 25 years. We provide quality counseling and case management services to improve the quality of people's lives, working to strengthen and support families and individuals and children and youth. We serve all people regardless of national origin, religion, race, socioeconomic status, and I believe that we're a contributor to the improvement of this community. So we were asking for that zoning change. The entire east side of 9th Street is already commercial and three of the six structures between Wisconsin Avenue and Pennsylvania are already zone commercial. We believe that the area is experiencing a change and that it's becoming more commercial and it would be compatible with the way that it is developing now. Thank you. I live and grow up. Mr. Mayor, was she speaking on hearing number two, correct? Number one. She was speaking on one. North Main Street? May I ask her a question? There was a concern expressed to me, is there supposed to be a coffee house opening up in that building? Oh gosh, no. No, no coffee houses. Oh my gosh, no, no coffee houses. What's out there and there was concern about rezoning this for that purpose? No, it's an office space, no coffee houses, no, no products being sold, no, no, yeah. I'm glad you asked. Lutheran Social Services, yes. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else wishing to be heard on it, on either hearing? Hold on a minute, Ben. Hang on, he's going to speak one more and then you all. Oh, sorry. Okay, go ahead. My name is Jonathan Ross. I live at N7377 IWCJ in Plymouth and I'm here to speak my wife and I are here to speak representing a company, a little company that we formed called North Star Properties and we would like to request a zoning change from urban residential to central commercial on the corner of 4th and Pennsylvania. For those who may or may not be familiar with it, it's going to be hard to see from where you are but essentially it's the here's 4th Street, Pennsylvania, the Harbor Lights Tavern is a one end of this little triangular block Pennsylvania 4th and Franklin and the armory bar is at the other end so it's bookended right now by commercial properties. These are legal non-conforming properties. The parcel in question here is actually made up of 16,000-foot parcel that was made up of four pre-existing lots. There's only one small house that has about a 500-square-foot footprint on it and it's really right along the commercial corridor of Pennsylvania Avenue and it's also within what's called the riverfront district on the city's master plan. So this riverfront district angles right up on Franklin Avenue and goes across and this is the end of Pennsylvania so the property in question is right right within the heart of this riverfront district and that zoning or the riverfront district in the master plan calls for offices, residential and retail development within that structure. So it's calling for mixed commercial and residential and so therefore our plans are to create some office some professional office space potentially mixed with maybe residential as well but the right now the building would be far smaller than the 16,000 square feet of property involved. Probably have less than a 5,000-square-foot footprint possibly only about 2,500 to 3,000-square-foot so we would also have a residential feel to the architecture of the building. We have not talked to an architect as yet but the plans would be to make it a welcoming and a structure that would be compatible with both the residential and the marina district and provide I think a considerable improvement to the property value and to the neighborhood. Any questions? I might answer. Thank you for your consideration. That has not been determined. There's a fairly ample on-street parking in that area and there's also the parking lot in the current armory though. Sir, they hate to stop you but you can't ask questions. Alderman can ask but gallery. Thank you. Anyone else wishing to be heard? Anyone else wishing to be heard? Alderman Benachron. I'd ask that question where your parking is going to be with 16,000 square feet on the property. Could you please use the microphone? With 16,000 square feet on the property and the plans would not call for a building that would be anywhere near that large there's a strong likelihood that we will be able to provide some off-street parking and quite frankly I was going to approach the city to see if we could arrange some kind of a parking arrangement with the armory parking lot which is vacant about 99.9% of the time and this would be space that would only be required to be used during typical office business hours not evenings or weekends when it would be likely that any armory parking would be needed. Thank you. Steve, did you want to address that please? Mr. Mayor, Council, just a couple things that this holds true for both of the rezoning that we're dealing with tonight they're both being rezoned from urban residential to central commercial. Right now we're just dealing with the land use designation just from residential to commercial not specifically the use at this point in time. Both issues would be required to do either a site plan or a conditional use permit that would be required to go before the plan commission before any type of operation would occur so some of the parking issues things like that would have to come and be submitted to show staff where exactly the parking is going to be what the use is going to be things like that so these are all issues that well need to be addressed to the plan commission before any type of operation can take place at either of these sites and so at such time as say for example the an application is made the parking and the issues like that members from the public are free to come to the plan commission and make sure or ask questions and we can address those then and the app and probably hearing some of these is going to be aware of them as well so. Thank you. Anyone else wishing to be heard? Anyone else wishing to be heard? Alderman Van Eyre. I moved to be closed. Moved to second at the hearing to be closed under discussion. Hearing none, all in favor? Opposed? Motion carried. Public forum. Yes. Robert Brown. Robert Brown. I guess he's not here. Renee Susha. Remember Renee, it's five minutes. Renee Susha and I reside at 303 St. Clair Avenue and that is in Sheboygan. I would like to welcome the new Alderman to the council and take this opportunity to explain to you some of the problems and opportunities that you currently face relating to room tax. The three problem areas lie with the way the city is currently spending the room tax money, the contract between the city and the chamber and also the proposed contract between the city and Great Lakes. Tonight I'll focus primarily on the historical data for your benefit.  I'm going to do my best to get through it. My name and phone number on the front page please feel free to call me because I know I'll probably run out of time. If you look at the green sheet that's a copy of the room tax statute. Basically room tax was developed to help cities promote and develop tourism. According to the statute with an 8% room tax the city can keep 20% and the remainder must be spent on promoting and developing tourism. However if there is a city-owned convention center some of the room tax money can be used to pay for the debt of the building. Now the city can either spend the money directly by having a department of tourism that would take out the ads in the magazines and go to the trade shows or the money can be forwarded to a commission who can enter into a contract with the tourism entity which is defined as a non-profit organization such as the Chamber of Commerce or the CVB. Now if a commission would be formed it would consist of four to six members chosen by the mayor and approved by this council. This is not another layer of government these are non-paid positions but the catch is that at least one person has to be from the lodging industry. Now when the city entered into a room tax contract with the chamber you created a situation of taxation without representation and that's the majority of the beef that we have from the lodging group with the city is a taxation without the representation. Now if you look at the gold sheets that is a copy of the contract between the city and the chamber and this is where some of the problems begin. First of all the city entered the agreement without creating the commission secondly the city is keeping the first hundred and fifty thousand dollars of room tax right off the top whereas the statute gives you a percentage you're entitled to twenty percent last year by taking a hundred and fifty thousand off the top you took fifty percent that's a little bit more than you're entitled to by law. You also have in there some interesting phrases you plan to use room tax money for related public improvements other than the convention center. I question can you use room tax money to pay for a two point four million dollar promenade I'm not sure. You also have in there that room tax higher than eight percent shall remain the cities and not part of this particular agreement. Now if there is a convention center you can raise the room tax above eight percent but nowhere does it say that you can keep it. If you look at the blue sheet that will give you some background in regards to where the two thousand and two expenses went for tours and promotion by the city. A lot of it was spent on the parades and also band concerts and I want to bring your particular attention to the patrol division. Last year when I was part of the room tax committee we spent a lot of time meeting with the city to talk about the patrol division and why that accounted for roughly ten percent of the total room tax money brought in and on the April 14th meeting the city attorney said quote could a judge say the use of room tax to pay police overtime for the fourth of July parade is stretching the bounds could be that's a possibility I could concede. We spent hours discussing this so for your background information I've also included on the white pages some information from the special operation detective agency in the past they manned the barricades on the fourth of July whereas now apparently the city feels you must have an armed police officer manning those barricades I just want to remind you we don't live in Baghdad you probably could get by a lot cheaper if you utilize the special operation detective agency a little bit more please look at their prices carefully when considering this issue. Lastly the peach colored documents is a copy of the notice of claim believe it or not this notice of claim does give you the opportunity to make the room tax issue a winning situation for everybody first of all if you form a commission the lodging group would be happy because we have input into the way room tax money is dispersed secondly we would make sure that the city took your fair share I just got done giving you an example where you're taking 50 percent under the current situation when blue harbor is up and running there's going to be so much more money in the pool that the commission would force the city to take your 20 percent your 20 percent that you'd be forced to take is a lot more than the hundred and fifty thousand you're currently swiping from the existing lodging group so it's really a winning situation and it's foolish that we have to serve you papers in the form of a lawsuit to force you to take the money you're entitled to and also we would make sure that the cvb got more money that they're entitled to so they'd be in a winning situation as well as you know last year they had about 15 000 inquiries and the first quarter of this year they had 15 000 inquiries how can that be the answer is they had more money first quarter this year due to a carryover left over from last year to actually promote the city denny moyer went to four trade shows in the first quarter that's why they had 15 000 inquiries in one quarter Renee well please call me thanks dolce johnson good evening mayors ram council members if you will give me nine point two million dollars i will guarantee you a return on your investment of one dollar a year for 99 years good deal if you can get it and as i understand that that is the deal that the city of sheboygan has made with great lakes to build and operate a conference center as part of the blue harbour south pier project but there's more according to a saturday press story part of the nine point two million dollars will also be used for a restaurant now i keep hoping that that press reporter got that wrong but i have this sinking feeling knowing the way this project is going that it's probably right so is the city now going into the restaurant business too what's next where will it all end perhaps the city will also end up owning the hotel and the water park what happened to private development along the way none of the several alderman i spoke with over the last few days had any idea what they were going to be asked to vote on tonight vis-a-vis the blue harbour deal evidently there's a lot of secrecy involved in the plans for this project to say nothing of the haste to finalize an expenditure of a mere twenty one million dollars ironically the day after this huge project was approved the mayor announced the need for city layoffs and cuts in services i think of this project as our second marina you remember the marina that project which no private developer would touch but which the city plunged into ignoring the wishes of the citizens for a referendum on the project that project that someone we were told was going to pay the city a million dollars to operate for us that project that marina that was going to be so full of boats in two years that we would have to build 200 more slips in no time at all well it's now several years later the marina is not full never has been we're still paying skipper bud thousands of dollars to manage the facility and the taxpayers are still subsidizing it to the tune last year of eighty five thousand dollars i've been told and now the city has been presented with another yet another too good to be too project and you know what they say if it sounds too good to be true it probably is one would think that if sheboygan was such a prime place for a conference center that private developers would be all over town vying for the opportunity to build it and with their own money i am told that when great lakes first made their proposal there was no mention of a conference center and suddenly without explanation the project just wasn't going to be feasible without a conference center which great lakes of course will not finance so what happened the alderman i've talked to don't know so evidently it wasn't even in disgust in a closed session but obviously somebody got through to great lakes i congratulate alderman wongerman on his courage and casting a common sense no vote on this proposal in face of great pressure i am sure from the mayor the chamber of commerce and the friends of sheboygan some of you may know that i served eight years on the council and i cast a lot of no votes but i was living in the real world representing real people people who worked hard to support their families people without jobs people on fixed incomes people who can't afford a big boat people who can't afford to subsidize a conference center and now possibly a restaurant for the city there was a letter in the sheboygan press a few weeks ago by former mayor susha suggesting that we all look for the money tree that the city seems to have well i was astounded to learn from alderman van akker and that my taxes are not going to go up as a result of the blue harbour south pier project so evidently the city does have a money tree but i don't think so mayor susha knows that he and i and all of the tax paying homeowner citizens of this city are the money tree there seems to be no end to multi-million dollar pie in the sky projects for this city i am not against progress but is this progress or folly risky you bet responsible no thank you thank you okay alderman thank you your honor the consent agenda yes i would move that our our that all our o's be accepted and adopted that all our c's be accepted and placed on no the other way if

second at the resolution be put upon this passage under discussion alderman doil yes sir your honor i just a little bit of a digression but this is a new council so i'll take the liberty of just protesting as usual the way that we go about cutting the budget i agree that we need to cut spending but i don't believe freezing department budgets and freezing hiring is the best way to do it when i go to the internet and check out government websites i find that city governments are laying off workers by the thousands newspapers report that businesses are also laying off employees and some manufacturing companies are moving plants overseas to reduce costs a major cause of the problem is skyrocketing health costs everyone including employees and retirees want the best health services but they want employers or government to pay the cost just unrestrained demand for free medical services and prescription drugs is driving health cost skyward to pay our rising city employee health costs we have frozen budgets frozen hiring raised taxes and raised fees but to no avail new revenue is quickly gobbled up by the next round of higher health costs we don't have enough money to pay for basics like rebuilding streets and solving flooding problems to make matters worse the state is threatening big cuts and shared revenue and our departments have been forewarned to prepare for seven percent cut and we've already heard how me library may have to close several days a week there may be fewer police patrols on the street and there may be cutbacks and other key services the reason for the freezes in the seven percent cut is because we don't want to lay off employees we have chosen to eliminate jobs through attrition while this is a compassionate plan it's wrong we should base our budget decisions on what the citizens want not what is best for city employees the best way to save money is to cut health costs by cutting services at this point in my three years on the common council we have done very little to solve the budget problem we have passed the responsibility on to the mayor and the department heads we were elected to make hard decisions and it's time we accepted that responsibility i proposed that the strategic fiscal planning committee begin by bringing last year's survey of possible cuts back to the common council the committee of the whole should schedule meetings to create a prioritized list of at least two million dollars in possible cuts that list should be published so the public can have input with every cut there will be unhappy people but the money we save will allow us to adequately fund high priority services if you read the paper the school board has already made over a million dollars in cuts and they have a plan to meet their budget crisis we should do the same thank you thank you is there any other discussion hearing none will you call it all please doil graff manning i mounty mayor moody perez rindflash benagren bander wheel

14 eyes motion carried 362 will go to industrial development commission 363 that's the new development agreement that will go to committee of the whole steve did you want to address that i just i'm just briefly you've received on your desks a black line version um in the lower left hand corner it indicates it's got some letters and then some numbers and there's a dot that says 12 uh that version 12 of the document the the document you passed on uh april 14th was version nine what this document is in front of you is shows the black line changes between version nine and this version so it incorporates uh several drafts in between but because you acted on version nine felt it was best to show you what's been changed from uh what you acted on uh much of this has to do with the issues that stem from the resort proposed resort lender um looking at the document after it was passed and and requesting changes be addressed um there's also a number of changes that relate to restructuring the the 12.2 million that rather than a redevelopment authority alone for 12 to you'll see that it's broken out into a loan of four million dollars and a 8.2 million going towards the construction equipping and and furnishing of the convention center slant restaurant for the for the project i would ask that you all look at this between now and committee the whole i understand that's going to be next monday most likely i'll ask alderman warner if he can schedule that when he gets back for next monday evening we got questions on the document and they relate to the language or whatever feel free to call me if they're financial i'm sure rich gaphart would be happy to receive calls any any concerns or any questions uh raise them or raise them at the committee the whole uh be time to i'll spend more time at the committee the whole and go over more specifics of the changes and for the newly elected alderman the uh some of the basics of the agreement that are still in place as they as they previously were if anybody has questions now that wants to ask them feel free i'll run for us thank you i just decided to have a question is this revised uh development agreement going to be made available to the public if they want to look at it too as we did the last time we could i don't know that we're going to have a lot of people run it over here to get a copy but in case somebody is interested i'd like the public to know that one can be made available to us thank you and just so you know this is one reason we wanted to go to committee a whole next monday night to give every alderman opportunity to read it over and get their questions answered before you vote on it so everyone's comfortable with it so we are not voting on it this evening in that regard mayor your honor if i may we have some new alderman who had absolutely no input and the original document here they're going to be asked to to make a very very important decision that involves a lot of money i don't know if it would be appropriate to have perhaps steve or richard rich meet with them for an hour or so and give a briefing uh as to the background and so forth i don't even know if they would like that but i would make that suggestion if that's uh their wish thank you if they like to they're more than welcome to set up a meeting with us anytime you come on up and we'll do that if you'd like to steve

from Shenandoah Valley. Oh, what is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder make it? There's a cord right in the middle, what happened here? Yeah, that's where that normally is. That's where it was. Do you like to do a builder make it? So do we. Today is test cut Tuesday. This morning I'm gonna drive in Kim decided to chew on it at Daisy with a ladybug and keep it simple. So I made a simple one with a ladybug and Kim made another one. And I was like, no, it should look something like this. And then I changed it from a ladybug to a butterfly. Because on the way in, I happened to see this giant, remember that big day in the yard? Yeah, somebody's yard ornament that had, that looked like this essentially and had a butterfly.  So I switched it up to a butterfly. It doesn't say welcome. It could say welcome. It could say whatever you want on it. But I was thinking maybe we just do a flower. So you guys can give me your feedback. Should it say welcome on there somewhere or just use the kiss method? You can put a bee on it and it can say buzz off. No. No? No. All right, let's see who we have. I'm gonna get my, let's see. Eyes, oh, I see nobody. I just got rid of the chat hole, please. You wanna start seeing people? Yes. We have Trudy and Helen and Lori, Tyra, Lois, Melissa, Maria, Veronica, Anipa, Kim Lance, Jess, Ingrid, Terry, Amy Tynan's Baker. Oh, Amy Tynan's Baker. Perry, Rick, and Marks. Rick Perry, those two different people. Two different people. And Christina, Off-Road Everything. Cory. Jen's working late, but we'll catch up. No. Allen, Peggy A.J., Anthony. Anthony Edwards, I hope you are at a surgery. Mandy Veronica, Freedom Farms. Who's Freedom Farms? I don't know if we know Freedom Farms. Welcome Freedom Farms. Christian, Jeff, Chantal, Donna, Grandma P., Patricia, Christine, Nancy, Harold, Mini-Map Makers, Andrea, Penny, Harold, Richard. I went too fast for myself. Chris, Tamara, Mock Pie. That's funny, I love it. Juanita, Vicki, Rob, Veronica Garcia, Ashton, Keith, oh my gosh, Kat, you guys are here early. Tom, Mini, this is what happens when we're late, baby. Yeah, who's late? Me, I think it was me. That's pretty much everybody. 3-D during our DIY. Well, welcome everybody. Do me a favor, Rubik, hit that like button. Give me a thumbs up. Yeah, give us a thumbs up if you're here. Hanging out with us today. Mine I think is gonna be pretty easy because I don't think I'm gonna put my pedals back in. Oh, interesting. I think I'm gonna try to make the shadows from the frame cast across the pedals. So I guess one of these is gonna become obsolete, is that right? Yeah. Do we need them both? I don't know, I don't think we need them both.  Harry D. Harry D said he was ghosted again. Shh, that's because it wasn't. Neil through the mirror. It was Kim.  All right, Buzz off. All right. Do we have any paint yet? Well, we're excited to say, paint arrived. I don't know if we're excited to say, we're excited to say we're filling. That we're almost ready to put it all in the store. So yes, we do have paints. Paints arrived on Friday. We have been filling paints over the weekend and all weekend. We are more than halfway through. We actually had pouches. Yeah, we ran out of pouches. I thought I had enough pouches, but I did not. I don't know what happened. But they, the rest of the pouches will be here. Any moment. Tomorrow, no. Well, they were supposed to be yesterday when I checked theirs to be here today by 10. And then today when we checked, they're supposed to be here tomorrow by 10. So it's always, it's always a day away. So once you get those, and we'll be able to finish up those, we've got all colors done, except for everything in the blue family and everything in the green family. Other than that, we are almost there. So by the end of the week for sure, hopefully sooner that's because all we have to do is finish filling them. And labeling is happening simultaneously. So we are really, I told Garo's like, can we just go ahead and put them in the store? And then we can finish filling and fill the orders. But we're just a little nervous, too nervous to do that. I want to test it. Because most, a lot of people have reached out and they want to order the full 34 colors. And to do that, they're going to, I have to make sure that I can bottle all 34 colors. So I just have been hesitant until like what happens? I hate to say that you get the machine breaks and then it slows us down. I love that new machine. All right, I guess I'm painting today. So I might. Well, it's an easy one. Scott has, is there a file for the cruise shirt graphic? Oh, Scott wants to make something. Oh, it's on. Should be on Discord? Yeah, I forgot the name for a minute. This is cute. Okay, so this is a new butterfly I found. Actually, this was on Canva. Garrett was in Canva and was like, when I said, I didn't like the ladybug he chose. I was like, give me one that's cute with some big eyes. And he was like, he was completely disgusted with me and got up, walked away from his desk and said, you pick one. And then I picked about five of them plus a butterfly. And not one of them was simple. They were all cartoon like with shading. Well, they were cute. Eyes and pupils. What a cutie. Yeah. I gotta get on it. I didn't even know. It's not simple. I didn't know we were gonna do the frame. So that's interesting. I guess we'll just keep that black. You don't have to do the frame. You can just start right there. That's why I only scored that. Oh. Just in case you didn't want the frame.  Yeah, I like to leave options. So I left the score mark up here. I think, okay. So the way it was just delivered was like this with this frame on the outside. Wonder if it's, if the pedals are all the same thing or not. So my attention to that. All of my pedals are the same. Okay, well, we'll fix that. So all the way like this, or I think that's a little flat, right? I think I need it more like that, I think. Yeah, that's what I think.  Well, then just put that this way. Leave the middle out. Maybe like that. What do you guys think? Come here, vote. I'm definitely gonna leave this out and do the backer. You can give me your vote on this to whether the outside frame should be there. Frame, no frame. Frame, nothing. Frame, no frame. No frame. This will stay. One or two. One. So without the inner one, but use the outer edge. So frame. Frame. Yes, add the frame, frame. Oh, okay, great. All right, we're on the same page. Frame has it. And then, okay, so originally this was pink, which is like Garrett's. This one was pink and I was like, no, this was just like a little girl's room. Kim was here earlier and she was like, oh, I could have like a little girl's name on it. And I was like, no, I wanted to be spring, not a little kid's room. So I'm gonna, well, I'm gonna make it green. I think that I could just use like this green right here. Right, that's cute. Our Apple Raid green. Yeah, maybe I'll put these back and leave the frame off.   I don't think so. Already looking at it in the screen over there. I should have put them back in. Well, you didn't like it? No, I don't, I mean, maybe you could put them back in, but let me see it around them, because what a waste. Yeah, I was just thinking that, that's what I was thinking about putting them back in. I think I'll leave it, I think I'll leave them out. But I gotta find something to do with these. Yeah, you're gonna have to make something like. Like a donkey or a rabbit. Well, if you don't, I mean, you could cut the ladybug out of these. So you'd be like, see? Rabbit feet, are they rabbit feet? Valentine flower, mm-hmm. Red, interesting. What, make them red? Add the frame for the center of the flower too. Yeah, I think that's all in peace. I always do. Oh, yeah, do I take this out? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, do you think that's important to you? No, that I want, but do I take that out? Well, that's. Too many options. I know. Well, I think I need to paint this another color, otherwise I'm gonna have to find the center of this. That'll be a mess. Green, let's see, let me go back down. Mandy said, keep the petal scraps and make another design with those as a vase, with those as a vase for flowers. Those are the vase? Or you can get the flowers out of those. Oh, these are the vase. Oh, that's cute. Like this, is that where you're thinking, Mandy? Or is it kind of like that? I'm gonna put the flowers that are coming out of the top. Mm-hmm. Do it this way, it's a flower.  That is one ugly flower. All right. Valentine's flower. So who is supposed to do the Valentine's flower? Are you? Me. Red and white? Oh, the Valentine's flower. Yeah, something other than pink. You don't want a big old pink one. Yeah.  I did look at this one and take the green and make it black, but then it was just black, white, and yellow, which I actually liked, but I thought maybe it wasn't springy enough. So you guys have to make a variation of this and share it with the Kimmy here and make a group on Facebook. I like Mandy's idea. Yeah, Mandy came up with a great idea, a suggestion for us, for all of us. You want to share? Yeah, it was like, take a design and everybody do a different colorway on it. See what everybody comes up with. What if I love, I love that idea. And then that would be like made at Monday, hashtag made at Monday, and we pick one who has a vote for the best color scheme. Yeah, yeah. What was that? I don't know. Bella. Bella, Bella. Folks, use a plate, don't do what I just did. I heard Helen in my head. It did. Mandy said with the ladybug behind it, it almost looked like a baby bottle. Yeah. It was a lot. Teal, I also looked at teal. But I have teal, for me, teal is planned for the butterfly. If I'm going to do this, like, what color should that middle be if I'm going to do this like... Yellow still. Yellow? I think, well then your petals would need to... I got an idea for the petals. You do? They're going to be red and white. Oh, all the way around? No, like, alternating colors is what you're thinking? Oh, no. I was going to do like a red at the bottom, like... Okay, cool. They're good like that. You can come up with something cool, I'm sure look good. Then I would just do yellow for now. Stick with the yellow. Or you could do a pink if you wanted the valentines. You know what I mean? Yeah, paint. Well, I hate what I've got going here. I have got to put some paint on the plate. There's not enough paint on this. Trying to cheat. Yeah, I was trying to shortcut it. You know what they say when you shortcut it. Hey, what are you doing? What's happening? Oh my God, please tell me Jason's not here. Jason, you saw that, right? I don't think he's here thinking that. It's a saboteur. Somebody's going to get Jason and tell him I'm sabotaging you again. We have had such an unproductive day today. You have had. I've been very productive. I've gotten my work done. Well, here's the thing though. We made it to test cut Tuesday with two designs. So, similar designs, but two nonetheless. So, yeah. And I came in with nothing. I was bone dry. He was bone dry again this morning. I was counting on somebody else's design. I know, Christian, he was like maybe Christian will send me that door corner he mentioned. And I was like, you can't rely on that. You can't make him feel guilty. And I was like, I got an idea. I've already been working on something.  I was filling paints in my sleep last night. Yes, whenever we're really busy, what we're doing seeps into Garrett's dreams. He then ends up dreaming about it. He's like, I worked all night. Filling paints all night last night. And I didn't make him work in the sleep. I just go on to sleep. Oh, no, no spilled paints. No spilled paints. I mean, they were coming out beautifully, clean up and paint transition or flawless. So you're getting a lot of, Jason is here, he's a sabotage. Jason, I think you were here. You're getting a lot of people that like your, well, Trudy said it could be gradient, red or pink on the outside, fading to white on the inside. I think Kim said she loved the idea of the transition thing. I'm gonna try it. We'll see if it works. I don't know. Oh, Harry said the piggy bank idea was great. It's selling good. I know. Yeah, Harry, I saw your designs. I love them. Killing it with those piggy banks. I love the names at the bottom adding to the stability, understands. Now, Harry, so share with the group. How did you advertise your piggy banks? Did you put them on Facebook and say, hey, I have this to offer or look what I made or how are you letting people know that you're offering these piggy banks? Or are you doing it like, I don't know. You just put them up there? Or are you taking them somewhere and actually showing the physical product? Because we're always trying to give folks ideas.    Oh, these dots are scored, okay. So I just filled those in. I have covered up my, let's see what I'm doing. So this is yellow on this butterfly, be a purple. Yeah, we're working on this. And then yellow, and yellow. We got a lot of colors, that was dreamin' big. Yeah, you were, big dreams. Like, let's keep this one short. We gotta get back to fillin' pants. We're gonna keep it simple and short. That's what they call it, that's what my middle name. Now what I need here is a 35 color. I'm gonna need extra colors on this butterfly. I want two colors. Yes, it's simple, but I want a 35 colors. Can't you do something? They love that. That's what she said, oh, that butterfly is not simple. Can't you do something? Yeah, make it more simple. Yeah, it's not, we need more, I need more. You got some more comments here, let me tell you. So, notes YT says I've watched a lot of your videos and only just realized I wasn't subbed. Let me fix that, that little up. Nice. Thanks, sub up. We appreciate that. Sub up. If you're not sub, sub up. Sub up? I don't know, let's see what this is gonna be. Should I do this instead of TL, maybe it should be the spa color? Babe, don't second guess yourself. What is this? I got a bogus blue or Badgers League of Lodge. Like, should it be this to go with the screen? Yeah, right? Yep. Right? Uh-huh. Yep. That's what I'm feeling, I'm feeling it. Are you feeling it? You see where I'm going with that? I'm picking it up and putting it down.  Karen and I are zero filters on right now. I can just tell.  Because I'm painting, you know why? Because I'm not answering comments. You're doing right and you just start saying stuff. Yeah, you just start saying stuff. And now I'm talking. Okay, I'm not back as you're at. So this guy is purple and this guy is yellow. Okay, mix these up. Oh, you're using the white. We're in for white. Whoa. You can have it, here you go. You gotta give me my good handle back. That's my favorite handle. What's that? What's that now? You heard me. Karen is here, she said she was late but she's here. I'm glad you made it, Karen. Oh, I missed a lot. Let me go, I'm going to the bottom and coming back up. Started at the bottom. Oh, I missed some stuff. Maybe it's not a good idea. Helen said, my friend is hosting at her house. My mom did Tupperware, so you know. So I don't know, I missed something. You're doing paint parties?  Yeah, that's what I mean. Well, good day because I could tell filters are off. We're just hanging out. I don't feel like these are our friends. Well, gear, it doesn't usually. Sometimes I'm begging gear to have a talk to you. Sometimes I get a talk to you afterwards. I can't believe you even say that. I am missing some stuff. Never mind, I'm going back up because I feel like I'm getting the end of conversations. You feeling left out? Yeah, somebody like Supreme Valentine flowers. You can make wine glass with those petals. That's a good idea. Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Well, not every test cut becomes a thing either. Yeah. There's a lot of test cuts that die at Tech Today. Yeah, do you guys remember our, I thought it was fun, the little Pac-Man ghost one for Halloween, that went nowhere. That went nowhere. I want to come back to it. That died at Tech Today. I fixed the design, but then I was like, it needs something and it doesn't need these words. It needs different words. That's what I felt. You don't like my words? Well, I felt like your words limited it to the niche of Halloween packing. So I guess you could use it for other things I hear, you know? Mm-hmm, I don't want to put Pac-Man in a corner. And isn't he, he's Pac-Man. It's the ghost that have name. I don't know what they are. I don't know what they are. I know what they are. You don't have to say. Yeah, I can say. Don't quiz me. Oh, Mandy makes that. It was late because she was busy listening to stuff on Etsy. That's okay. There you go. Sounds like a good excuse. Mm-hmm, I'll accept it. It's like a note from your doctor. Yeah, great idea. You know what Christians had? So smart. What else could you do with these if you scaled them down? Look at it. Throwing stars. Oh, yeah. And it'd be perfect for the night light. And you said scale it down and make it a night light. I think that's great and do it out of acrylic. Yes, well that was part of what I said to him. This morning I was like, the great thing about keeping it simple is there'll be great to scale down and do other things with. People can use them for other things because I see you guys using- Bits and parts. Yeah, like lots of different things. Bits and pieces. Shrinking a lot of things down. Bits and dollars. Oh, ornaments. It's Christmas time. Shrinking some of those rounds down to ornament size. This could be that size and become like a backpack tag or something like that. You could do it for other things. You all right? You breathing over there? Wisconsin is in the house. What's up, Wisconsin? Harry said I would just walk the street and say, hey, here's some good, give me some money. That's one way to sell it. I'm glad that works. And two things can happen there. You walk the street to the bank and somebody can fill it or you can sell it. I use this yellow. All right guys, is this gonna be too dark of a yellow? Is it gold like that? Or should I be using like a light yellow? Oops, sorry. Oops, sorry. Or should I be this yellow? Let me go closer to camera. Like that. I like that. I say we keep it springy and go with this one. Let's try this one. This is Gypsy Gold. But this darker one is Apple Stars. And they're both great yellows. I'll show, I'm holding up this way. Since we're talking paints these days. So sometimes you want this gold and I think this is what Garrett used and it's still a pretty, it doesn't look as gold when you set it up against this one it does but by itself it doesn't. And then of course we have this one. You see this one's got a little more, it's a little paler, a little more lemony. But I don't know if that's got enough color I think that one. All right, is that too much for you guys? I went in deep on the yellows. An explanation of the yellows? Yeah, well I showed them all three colors and. You know what I just thought? I was just thinking about you hitting that button right here, it thumbs up. Good thoughts, good thoughts. Thanks Mandy as I found the nap gloved over the edge. I don't know, going to pick up the phone and try them, not sure what's happening there. Also test your laptop to the TV so the text is readable from far away. Oh so you can stay involved in the chat. Is that what that is? Oh yeah, look at that yellow, that's a good yellow. Nice and sunny. Oh, you can't see my, oh yeah, you can't see my butterfly. Thanks for telling me. No that's okay, I'll, no not this far. I'll come this way a little bit. I'll come get your pursels. I'm used to hanging out to the edge because I'm not really doing most of the painting. Garrett does most of the painting on test, Garrett the guy who hates to paint does most of the painting on test cut Tuesday. I don't know if I have a bag for this yellow. When do we get the char video? I need to tone down the edges. Did I talk about that? That's all about, yeah, all about your air assist. I have two in the same time. He says he's gonna start at home parties after Valentine's Day. One party a week and then try to work up to two parties a week, maybe five or six people. Nice job, I'm excited for you. Nice. Oh, Barrett's and got himself a water bottle. What is happening here? Coming in deep. Yeah, aren't you fancy? Smear and rub it. Oh. I don't know if that was any better. Look, I fixed it for you. Thanks babe. Maybe use a, now we use a dried roller. I wanna help slip it in the rest of my life. You want one of these? I have the perfect purple outside but I don't have it in here. Perfect. This one needs to be shook up. We have not used this purple and the pink coloring is at the top. All right, so just so you guys know, I think we talked about paints and the fact that the new order is in but I did order all the pigment is at the top. I did order three new colors for Spring that are gonna be limited edition because I don't know that we'll want them all year long but right now is the perfect time of year for them and that would be, I've got a lilac, a mint screen and a peachy color.  Some great spring ones come out. Yeah, let's try them now. Garret's looks a little tie-dye. Let me go down. Maria said, yes, I made a few with a countdown calendar and a small size and Denise is a little of them. That's awesome. Good luck. Great grandpa. As Woodworking says, I've watched you guys for a long time. I never knew you had a live feed. I watched your channel long before subscribing. I see great ideas on your channel. Awesome. Thanks so much. Garret, do the dry brush technique. It's kind of what's happening, right? No, it's happening in the morning. Tom said, yeah, Garret must not be a flower guy. What's this happening here? I think it'll be fine. Well, I save these if it looks like junk. I really don't love it. Yeah. All right, well, let's maybe just do it, maybe just layer it, like red and then black and then pink or something. Let's see what it looks like. Nope. Wait for it. Lori Chavez says she likes it, that's nice. There you go, look at that.  Looks so much better now, I love it. You can hear it in my voice. All right, you guys, I'm mixing this lilac color that I have not bottled yet, so I can't bring it in and show it to you. Is that a new color? Yeah, that's what I was telling them. This is one of those limited edition colors. It's pretty much like this color, so maybe a little bit lighter. What am I gonna do with all this purple? I got it. Let's see if Garret can pull it out. Who has the airbrush? Is there airbrush patron on here? That's what I think you need. All right, Garret has left the room. Let's see what he comes back with, that'll be fun. And I'm gonna come through and put my second coat on here. Okay, and for those of you who have had these paints, sorry, it's a lot of paint talk today because that's where our brain is. It's up in all paints all weekend. But if you're new to our paints, or no, if you've already had our paints, we did update a couple of colors. The navy blue, which is, let me make sure I got my colors right, midnight mischief is actually a darker navy blue. I felt like the one we had was just a little too light, so I picked a different mixture, so it's much a darker blue now. The black is more of a blacker black, so more of a true black. This one had tones of brown in it, and it was just a little too brown, so it will, so that's gonna look a little bit darker, true black color. And the red, which looks good today on what we're filming here. I changed the color of red because this one has a lot of orange in it. So I went more of a true red. So we will see, anyway, if you're, if you ordered them before, your colors may come in just a little bit different when you order the second time for those. If you're new to ordering paints, you'll get the new colors because that's what we just bottled. So heads up on that. If you've already ordered, I wanted you guys to know I did some updates from the first time. What else do I need to do? I don't know, this guy needs a second. That's what I'm hearing you do. Yeah, true that Christian, if things really go south, he can just flip it over. I don't know where he went or what he's doing. He just had an idea and left the room. Left, right, middle, and test head Tuesday, but I'm sure it's gonna come back and be fabulous. Let me keep painting. I saw off the doobles in my pebbles. Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Lori. He just, he stuck to the center too much. He needed to feather it out a little bit more. I kept it going. I'm gonna move my butterfly out of here and get myself one. Guyans are gonna make it. Coming back in with the green, second coat. Looking pretty good with the first coat. I would check the middle of a flower. Purple flower chips, oh, that would've been a good idea. Just gonna fade those in. Retro is on trend for 2024 design trends. Interesting, we'll see where that goes. I'll do something new and different. Is Retro still mean that mid-century modern? I'm seeing a lot of that and I don't know if it's because I searched for it a while back and now all of a sudden it's on my feed when I'm looking at things or if it's really popular. As a matter of fact, when I was looking at inspiration for nightlights and what I wanted to do for the nightlights, I came across, I think it was on Etsy, somebody used Page on Etsy. I found it through, I think, a Pinterest post or something, but she only did nightlights in acrylic and they were all mid-century modern, like that 50s style and there were so many of them, like houses, kitchens, so many cool things. So if you're interested in something like that, go look for that because her site was really cool. I don't remember her name right now and I could find it again if somebody wanted to know it, but I don't know that person. I just thought their stuff was really cool. Where am I gonna put this? Let me go back down. Retro 70s hippie vibe, mid-century moderners, 50s. Okay, a hippies vibe. I hear Garrett and I hear the heat gun, so he's come up with something. You know how the spray can work? Oh, you're trying to spray paint it. Well, I mean, I guess it's been sitting for a while since Christmas, right? It's been sitting for a month. Somebody said you could add purple and then fade the purple into the red. You know, you could probably use a sponge to do that. I wondered what you ended up doing to do. And I was like, he's gonna let me sit in here. I ran up and I was like, what can I do to make it work? So I think I figured it out and I got it done. Well, it smells like spray paint. You could tell that you spray painted it. Yeah, there's only like six or seven, nine coats, so I'm like that. Oh, wow. There, well look, every can I reach for it. We haven't used it since Christmas, so it's all splotchy. Well, I mean, it's still, look at it on screen. It looks pretty cool. It looks better on the film, on the screen. I'll keep it on screen. So, you've got that ladybug that's gonna go on it.   You could add purple or some hot pink. No, that's too much. Maybe a light pink. Yeah, calm it down, calm it down. Oops. Oh no. Yeah. He said, yeah, yeah, I'm making it worse. I like this one the best. Maybe I don't need them. No, don't give it a moment to dry. Help me with mine. I have stuff to do. Let it dry while you help me paint mine because I'm having our time painting and talking. Now I see why it's just one of us. Woo, somehow it just got me. The spray paint is very potent. It's been a moment, I will call you saying that. I need this, yes. Could you paint my black frames? Yeah. And I'm painting this white.  I'll just get it to dry. I'll do a second coat on that. You're getting there, you're getting there. You're helping me. Yeah, now it'll really come together. Now that I'm on it. I didn't distract you from yours, I'm on it. Now that I'm on duty. I guess we know. Well, I think they're both great. I guess people can give their vote. Should we keep them both? I mean, I guess you could use them for different things if you shrunk them down. Yeah, I think you could use them for different things. Like, who to when you could make out of like paper. And then you could pull the petals off and say, she loves me. How did I know? We had to. We had to just fill up with something. When, Lois says when all else fails, what do you do? What? When you're making a sign and the colors don't look right. Glitter it out. That's what she said. I had a can of glitter in my hand, I almost did. When in doubt, glitter it out. That's what she said. That's what she said. She said, when in doubt, glitterize it. Do you know how many signs I saved with glitter? Countless. Some heroes wear caped, other sling glitter out of spray cans. Harold says, Christian, it's the official cruise flower. Christian said that too. Let's add glitter, Garrett, go all in on the luxe flower. That's right. This thing will be blingy. And then he must have asked, what are we doing? Yes, here they are. These little guys, one has a butterfly on it, one has a ladybug on it, boring ladybug. He's gone again. You know what that means? It's coming in with that glitter. Went in a little thick on my purple here. I need a second coat and a butterfly. All I did was take the, what is it, twilight train and add some weight to it. Just to lighten it up a little bit. Look at that little guy. Cute. I guess I can arrest it back while I'm waiting for this to dry and this to dry. And then I think I'll be ready to assemble. And once Garrett comes back, he's gonna have tons of glitter on it. He'll be ready to go. All right, this yellow isn't too bad. I did two coats. This is a third coat. I mean, I don't know that it actually needed a third coat, but you guys know how yellow is. I did put the white under it and I think it did a great job. I went ahead and put the third coat just because I had it right here and it did. And then I think his little, oops, what the? His little antenna here need to be in the same black. What you got? He's back. I think this one might be beyond glitter saving. You can't even tell it's got glitter on it. Oh yeah. Is that the same? I know. He's got silver and a multi-colored glitter on it. Right now it's. Multi-colored. Right now it's super wet. I think it'll come together when we glue it. I do too. I do too. I don't think. I don't think all is lost on that one. Agreed. I'm gonna do it again. Oh, that's what I was getting on with you, shoot. Busy trying to talk and you're leaving me hanging here. Sorry, I was trying to save it. And Sara said maybe you should have just done solid red. In retrospect, maybe. You know what? You never know until you jump. Hindsight. We say hindsight's 50, 50. Hindsight's 50, 50. Somebody said that to him once. He was like. It's really stuck with me. Yeah. I love all of those little, what are those, idioms or just nuggets of knowledge. Knowing that everything that's behind me is still 50, 50. Hindsight's 50, 50. Jason said just put a BMX on that and all will be swell. That's right. Yeah, it'll fix it. I think I'll use the ladybug to distract. Yeah. Should throw that ladybug on there. You won't even see the flower. Oh, the problem with the ladybug is, are you just gonna set it up on the frame because you didn't put the pedals back in? Not that I'm trying to make things. Oh, no. It's good. There'll be plenty of grab to it on the centerpiece and stuff. All right. Renee loves the ladybug. You can see it on the table. Look, it's super cute. Yes. It's great against that white background. You can really see it pop in. It's simple. Christine wants to know how long it took you to clean up that yellow paint. Not too long. Like 20, 30 minutes. It had to, well, he- There's still remnants. Yeah.  You would be surprised how high that little stream shot. It was so funny because literally I was just doing my thing. I mean, neither one of us were paying attention at that point that we've been doing it for so long when we were watching TV. I was watching TV while I was doing it. And I was doing the 16s and I just had them lined up and I'm grabbing them, putting them on the nozzle thing, watching the TV, and then I accidentally grabbed an eight ounce instead of a 16 ounce. And it only fills up to eight. It's really hard to fit those 16 ounces in an eight ounce packet. So the other eight ounces shot across the room. Just like so high up. Like a super-soaker. Out of the corner of my eye, I was like, what was that? And then I just don't know how it ended up on the side of the filling thing across to the TV. And then, and then squirreled all over the floor. Like little streams of it everywhere. But only got on my one hand. Mm-hmm, yeah. Didn't get on his clothes. Cause at this point, I learned to just drop the pouch and push away. I'm on a stool with wheels. Not the first time. So it's like working with ammunition. Your's is still drying. You want me to, you want me to, oh yeah, I'll do it. And then this will begin. You want to like start putting the frame on. You can help me glue. I like glue. Now on my, well, yours is dying a little bit more. Sure. I mean, I'm guessing it needs another note or two. I can still, well. Oh, what? What happens to racing? Does that need a third coat? What, this? Yeah. This looks okay. That was a little splashy. Yeah, I'll put a second coat. I'm gonna put a second coat on that, I know. And I need a second coat on this guy. He's ready. What else is happening? Are you ready? Why do we prefer MDF over plywood? It's more reliable. Smoother finish. Smoother finish. Easier to cut. Yeah. I don't see the good brains. At the time, wasn't it cheaper? I don't know if it's still cheaper. It's been a long time since I even priced it for signs. Yeah.  Yeah. That's our challenge. The pockets of blue, or it's warped. I have way less warping. It's more consistent. Hey, I noticed somebody put something, I don't remember where it was, if it was in the Facebook group or the channel. Somebody was asking about warping, and I saw those boards. I was gonna go answer. We have not had that problem. I have never. We did one time in the garage, and that was humidity. It was that one time that they got delivered in the rain. Oh, yes. And it was all humid. I have to get the second coat on for you. Waiting on you, Kim. Yeah, glue pockets can ruin your night. Plywood will warp on you very quickly. Yep, plywood warps real quick. And then, yes, the ones on the wall are eight ounces. Thank you, Helen. There was just a couple of reasons why we made the switch.  We just got some new speaking of. Oh, some new eighth inch. Yeah, MDF, it just came in today, and it is nice and light colored. It's some good MDF. Yeah, we're gonna order a bunch more. Yeah, Garrett said, go order the rest of what they have. Everything they got. It is, it's hard to find light colored eighth inch, so when you do, hold it. Let it know how much it means to you. Spend time with it. Allison, we don't seal them with anything because we're using this outdoor house paint. So the Foxy Hughes paints have all of those outdoor additives in it. They're UV resistant, weather resistant, dries with like a plastic coating over it. So, and I don't even seal the backs of them and they still are fine. We just, those of you who have watched us for a while, we keep talking about this. Oh, the sign out front? Yes, the one with the bicycle that we said is out there forever, it finally just kind of died, fell apart. It was one of those big storms and everything had fallen over when we got in the next morning, and Garrett said. On our way in that morning, I was like, ooh, we should do a little video about how everything makes it through because in the episode, tough. He said, show them. But after a year, it finally like broke, there was a frame like this around it and this little outward frame kind of broke. And it was kind of done. Yeah, careful, I just just did that one so it's gonna be a little wet. They're not all the same, you're gonna have to do something. That's good. Keep going, it'll flop in there. And a really boring game of Russian roulette. Oh, it didn't fit that one pedal. Oh my goodness. I feel like I've gone 360, now it's just messing with me, it's like a USB cord.  Oh, should have glued roots on. Probably should have. I didn't know you couldn't handle it. You're gonna get yourself in trouble. You hear that giggle? That's the nervous, I'm getting yelled at after this. Come on, man. I have definitely been around more than one time. All right, I think that's it. I think it happened. Oh, that didn't sound good.  I'm crazy about the butterfly. I need to add some things. I don't think that was it either.  I don't think it went in that one. There's a gap in that one. So I think I'm gonna try to force it in now. I don't know if it's gonna happen. You gotta see. This is where the mallet comes in. We'll save it with the mallet. Won't even know. I will touch up my fingerprints before we put it down. Put some fingerprints. Well, it looks good though. All right, look, if you guys, whoop. I'm gonna make little dots on these. Here's a little tool that we found. I think these are for, oh, my goodness. What? It'll be fine. All right, well, you'll have to, we can't, I mean, it works, but you're gonna have to put the pedals on and then the frame on next time, right? Yeah. Or make them all, we'll have to figure out how to make all the pedals exactly the same. Yes. Okay, I forgot what these are called. I know somebody knows, but this is the greatest little tool to make circles with. I don't know if you guys can see that from that far away, but the great circles. I'm a sign fixer. This has been the most challenging. Easiest project ever. Tuscant Tuesday, yeah. I don't know that we've had such trouble for issues with both signs. That's not really the thing before. Well, mine was just the paint. Yours was like the D-Cart. Well, the concept is cute. I think it's good. Hold it up so they can see what Garrett says is good. Fixed. Can't even see it. Turn the sign ways. I did. You guys still can't see it, but it's very obvious. I did. It's an amazing fix work right there. Like none of your sign is like. Where is it? Can I put my butterfly down there? Oh yeah, there you go. I mean, he's supposed to be up here, but maybe in this case, he ends up down here. Which way would he go? He goes here. I'm going to move the ball back. Yeah, maybe he goes down there. I don't know. I have to do it in a minute because there are multiple pieces and. Oh, wow. Wow. Never mind. Garrett saves the day. These are for Clay. What I was trying to say earlier was distracted that these are clay tools, but they do grab at making round circles on things. So if you don't have those, there's your tip for today. Where's it going? Right here? Yeah. Going that way? Yeah. What are you doing? Just going to get it out of the air so it doesn't set up. I know. It went and pointed this way. Oh, your dots weren't dry. Okay, well, we get the concept. We get the concept. We see what's happening here. Yeah. I know. There is no need for this. Fine, I got this for you. Is that working for you? Because I think I have another one too. Oh, yeah, it's on the floor over here. That one's hard. All right, let's see this one come together. Make a smaller butterfly and cut the brookies. We'll have to. We're going to come back to this one. Oh, Garrett and Kim, can you do lattice work on the back so we could use it for a night light? I like it. I like it a lot. On the back of what you were? This, I guess, with the green piece here is that what you mean? I mean, if you do it out of acrylic, you won't even need to do that. You could just do it out of acrylic. Oh, man, I should have remembered which way. The lessons learned on this one. Make a caterpillar. Could make a caterpillar there. Yeah. Mandy makes that. So that's how-how train wreck Tuesday. Right? Yeah, this is a Tuesday. Yeah. Once it's hanging, I don't think you'll ever know. Yeah. I think it'll be all right. You could add a bee on there somewhere. The cat says, in theory, it's a very cute flower. It is. And I think I want you to do this butterfly. Give me a good color scheme for this butterfly. This is too light. And now the way we have it, it's not glued on properly. I think I can fix that though. Why? Why? Why bother? Just let that one go. Let it go. This one too. Okay, well, in theory, there's something. There's something. There's something. There's signs. There are things you could hang on your door. And you want it to go. Ooh. Oh, that's a great idea. Mandy said, if you scored the butterfly on here, then it would help line up where the petals should be. Smart, Mandy, smart. I was trying to leave it no score marks. You have options. Well, but I mean, you can add the score marks.  Like, you don't have to add them. You don't have to actually score it, right? You can turn that on or off. Yeah. Hold this up. I'm afraid my butterfly might fall off. I don't know how dry it is. My ladybug. Ladybug, not dry. Take it out for a walk. I think yours is missing something. Should the ladybug be bigger? Should your petals be fatter? That was my problem with this one. This one filled in. The space is in between, but I feel like these need to be a little bit fatter. Like, they need to fill in this space. Like this here? Give me, yeah. You guys gotta give me your feedback. Mandy said, I'd rather have all the whoopsies be in one show rather than spread out. You guys can't be perfect all the time. Just wouldn't be there. Yeah. Well, from there, it probably doesn't look so bad. Yeah, it doesn't look bad on. Don't get here, go over there. Don't get up close, it's a mess. There, can you see my dots? Garrett, put his finger in my dots. You can see. Whoa, whoa, whoa. And then here's where the broken petal was. You see that? That's because that. It's not too bad, it's not too bad.  It's a bit heavy for it. Yeah, whoa, calm down there butterfly. It's coming in hot.  Yeah, they're on my desk. I don't have my hoodie on, I keep them in my hoodie pocket. Yeah, Christine says she agrees with the petals being a little higher up. Like just filling in the space a little bit more would be good. Just make each one fatter. Yeah. It would still look like a daisy. And Lori Chavez said, Lori, funny, you should mention that. You wanna know what Lori Chavez says. What was the one thing you kept saying about yours? That's easy. Yes, you did. She said the center of yours needs to be smaller. Yeah. And the ladybug needs to be bigger. I did. I said these. It doesn't look too bad, nah. I don't know. T.D. over there. Helen says the middle needs to be a smiley face. Oh yeah, it should be a smiley face. I can make a smiley face. Ooh, I can make the smiley face. Eating the ladybug. Just take a bite out of the ladybug's butt. Christine said now it kind of looks like a mini ceiling fan. It does. Yeah, the ladybug looks too small now. I feel like, what does it matter, right? Is that what you're trying to say? What? No, it's like a ceiling fan. Oh, ceiling fan. We'll go overhead. We need to go overhead so we can see your ceiling fans. I'm gonna get out of the way. Wait, is that what I was saying? Oh my. Wow, that looks really cool on screen. I hope you guys are picking it up like that. All right, we are at 5.15. Did you pick it up? All right, it is past beakers o'clock. I gotta go get my enchiladas. They're still at the store. You get back to work and we will see you on Friday where we got a really cool video. Is it gonna be a treat? Yeah. Is it a treat? Is it a treat for us? Treat for you. I don't know, it's pretty cool. I learned a lot of stuff today and I'll let you guys know about what I learned on Friday. All right, I will see you guys on Friday.


China and Russia struggle together against NATO. Russia and China are sharing a toolkit of strategies to undermine NATO members. A top U.S. diplomat has warned urging Western capitals to step up efforts to defend themselves against both Moscow and Beijing. Washington is pushing members of the Transatlantic Alliance to toughen their stance towards China, citing Beijing's military developments, threats to critical Western infrastructure, such as transport and power networks. It's no limit partnership with Moscow and support for its war against Ukraine. Those two are increasingly sharing a toolkit that should concern the NATO alliance, said Julianne Smith, the U.N. ambassador to NATO, pointing to the threats to energy supplies and cybersecurity, among other factors. There's just no question that the People's Republic of China and Russia are both working to divide the transatlantic partners. And we are now very aware we all have a deeper appreciation of those efforts and are intent on addressing them, she said in an interview. Beijing is not providing arms for use in Russia's war against Ukraine, but has given political support to President Vladimir Putin since he launched the full-scale invasion in February and repeated the Kremlin's accusations that blame Kiev and its Western backers of the war. NATO, for the first time in June, agreed to address the challenges that China poses to the alliance. Following a step-up in U.S. lobbying, member states' foreign ministers discussed concrete measures to address China at a meeting in Bucharest, Romania, last month. We've seen them share hyper-tactics, Smith said. I think China watches very closely how Russia relies on disinformation and things like coercion or energy security, malign or malicious cyber operations. Other allies did not reject proposals made by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken at NATO's Bucharest meeting aimed at better protecting. Critical infrastructure supplies chains of key materials and cyber assets from undue Chinese influence or control. But many European countries are far less hawkish towards China than the U.S. and are reluctant to endanger their trade and economic ties with Beijing by taking too tough a posture while other European members are wary of any discussion about future NATO policy that distracts from efforts to support Ukraine as it weathers Russian bombardment. Smith said that the alliance was focused like a laser to get the Ukrainians all the support that they require in the form of air defense systems to defend against horrible and absolutely inexcusable Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure and equipment to help them rebuild damaged power plants and other energy systems.
