How to Stop Your Babysitter from Texting on the Job
It used to be that the worst thing a babysitter could do was raid the refrigerator. But this was before Facebook, texting, social media, and emojis. Today's sitters sneak—or outright flaunt—something many of us parents don't know how to deal with: constant texting, Instagramming, You-Tube-watching, you name it. So how do you dole out the rules?
Of course, the most important thing is that your kids are safe while they're under someone else's care. You might think the worst could never happen to your kids, but mobile devices just make getting distracted even easier, and that can have tragic consequences. Less severe than a major accident, but still disturbing, would be finding out your babysitter texted all night and ignored your kids.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when talking to your babysitter about your texting, sexting, and tweeting rules:
Spell it out. Teen and young adult babysitters have grown up with mobile devices, so don't expect them to have the same relationship with their phones as you do. If you don't want your babysitter texting or tweeting while on the job, tell them explicitly.
You saw your baby on Instagram, now what? As much as phones are part of everyday life, so is sharing. Your babysitter might not think twice before taking photos of your kids doing something cute and posting it on Instagram. If this is something that doesn't feel right to you, let them know right off the bat.
Use tech wisely. Running a few minutes late getting home? Having an always-connected sitter can really come in handy when you want to send a quick text from a restaurant. Plus, the ability to send and receive photos can help you decide whether you need to cut a date night short if your sitter is reporting a weird rash or skinned knee.
You're the boss. Hiring "digital natives" to babysit means learning to speak their language, and helping them understand yours. While you might never think of texting your friends or updating your Facebook status while at work, you can't assume they feel the same. Once you've figured out your rules, you need to discuss them with the babysitter as a condition of the job. And while getting rid of a good sitter can be a heartbreaker, you need to be ready to take action if there's any iffy behavior—whether it happens online, on the phone, or IRL.

When Acorn Crafts Go Terribly Wrong
Ack, we're painting the hall bathroom, and we can't wait to finish, shoot pics, and share them with you guys! But since that's still in progress, I thought this stellar example of things not always working out might make you guys smile. We always get asked "what happens if you try something and it doesn't work?" and I always say "we blog about it, of course!" You know, like this and this and this. We love sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. And we can totally relate to a failed craft project or ten. So here we go…
In Richmond it has been raining men. If by men I mean acorns. Seriously, those little buggers are everywhere.
So I got a wild hair and decided – most definitely inspired by all the crafty acorn projects on sites like Martha & Pinterest – that I would do a cute little acorn craft. So I gathered up some acorns with my trusty assistants (those would be Clara and Burger, who actually worked against me the whole time by throwing/kicking/chasing them away from me) and put a few dozen into a bag.
Then I froze those suckers because I remember hearing a few horror stores about bugs or other odd things "hatching" from acorns, and those I did not want.
I left them in the freezer overnight, which I hear is all that it takes to kill off anything suspicious (although I did think to myself "self, doesn't it get that cold outside? what is superior about a freezer that makes it better?").
Then a day later I took them out of the freezer and let them thaw out. Later I poured some leftover craft paint (a little tube of acrylic paint that was originally like two bucks from Michaels) into a bowl. Then I took all the "hats" (you know, those little top parts of the acorn) off and dipped the end of them into the yellow paint.
Then I realized this was a terrible plan since I had no way to keep them from rolling all over the place and smearing, until I looked over at the pretzels that we keep in one of those big glass containers on the counter next to the cereal. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Yup, I totally made little pretzel stands so they wouldn't roll around. Oddly enough it actually worked. I know, I was just as surprised as you are at this fortuitous turn of events. Don't worry, things go bad later.
After dipping a bunch of acorns and setting them in their little pretzel holsters to dry I turned my attention to the $2 faux flowers that I'd grabbed at Michael's (50% off thanks to those ubiquitous mailer coupons). When I got them… yeah- not so hot. But it wasn't anything a little trimmy-trim and a cute vase couldn't solve.
Ah, much cuter. And kinda fall-ish in that not-putting-fifty-gourds-everywhere way. Understated and easy, if you will. And then a few hours later when my little yellow tipped acorns were dry they came into the picture too. See them chilling in that glass container?
Here's a panned out shot of the console with a few other tiny fall tweaks. I switched out the blue and gray books for some leaf-colored yellow and red ones…
… and grabbed some old vase filler from my fall tupperware bin in the form of some tiny faux apples, that I shoved into a clear cylinder vase leftover from our wedding (it's the same one that held lemons and limes on the table).
Then I felt very chuffed (that's my favorite English word along with "the till") until about a day later when I saw this. What the…?
I popped the top and looked a little closer and it was totally mold. Boo! And I know you guys get a kick out of the what-didn't-work projects just as much as the ones that did – so there ya go. My name is Sherry, and I somehow made beautiful yellow tipped moldy acorns. I'm not quite sure what went wrong, but I'm pretty sure that mold is not the new chevron, so it's not going to be sweeping the DIY world anytime soon. Just say no to mold.
Actually, to say that I don't know what went wrong is a lie. I totally know what went wrong. I'm just not adept enough to dabble in acorn crafts. The stakes are just too high. Glue guns? Sure. Paint? Ok. Drills and power saws? Yes please! But acorns? They send a shiver down my spine. I'm clearly not ready for them yet…
So I did the loving thing and threw those moldy paint-dipped acorns away and whipped out some fun old printing letters for a rustic fall-ish feeling without the threat of mold (we have a ton of these with all of our initials, our wedding date, and even "YHL" thanks to a sweet friend who sent these three our way).
So other than a few tiny and cheap (well almost all of them were actually free) fall tweaks in the form of some leaf-colored books, a few cut down fake-blooms from Michael's and some cute little apple vase filler, we've learned one thing. I'm clearly not attentive enough to master the delicate eco-system that is an acorn. So I'm leaving them to Martha and you crafty folks on Pinterest who can manipulate them into wreaths and decorative orbs and all of those other wildly creative things without so much as batting an eye. I'll stick to cutting down faux flowers and popping them into a bright little vase thankyouverymuch. Eh, who am I kidding, I'm totally going to try my acorn luck again next year. It'll be like an epic annual battle that keeps no one on the edge of their seat but me.
Has anyone else mastered the acorn or done any especially cute and not-at-all moldy fall crafts? Do tell. I promise I'll only pout a little…

Would baking the acorns have killed the mold spores? It might be worth a try.
Yeah, when I was a kid I collected up acorns with my grandma one time and she dried them by putting them in the oven for a while on really low heat (not sure what it might have been set to). After they were all dried out we used them on a wreath that my mom had for years, so I guess it worked well!
Opps, forgot to mention cracking. I remember that some did crack, but not very many.
I always bake mine before I use them as vase filler. 350 for about 20 minutes. Check them after about 15 minutes and make sure they aren't starting to burn. Let them cool and then paint dip away! :)
yeah, i wondered if baking would work too. I know you are supposed to bake pine cones if you bring them in from outside. My kids love to collect acorns and they do always get moldy.
According to grandpappy.info :) it says you should air dry them, dry them in the sun or oven dry them.
Oven Drying: Place the tray of acorns in a warm oven (175ºF) for about 20 minutes with the oven door slightly cracked to let the moisture escape.
The advantages of oven drying are:
1. Drying can be done very quickly.
2. It effectively kills all insect larva.
3. It eliminates future mold problems.
The disadvantages of oven drying are:
1. The inner nutmeat looses most of its moisture and flavor and it becomes very hard to chew.
2. The shelf life of the nutmeat is only two or three months.
Ditto for baking. Some do crack but still pretty as a vase filler. i put in a big glass jar with one of those battery timer candles down in the middle.
I bet it was the moisture from freezing them and the lid. Without a lid it might've worked better.
That's what I was going to say too. No lid, or letting them dry out for a day (or a week? or more?) before painting then styling.
See you later at West Elm in Boston!
I was just going to say the same thing!
Too bad it didn't work out, I loved the yellow pop of color.
I was just reading about this on another blog. She didn't have hers sealed and they still got moldy.
That's such a bummer because they look adorable. Maybe they wouldn't have gone moldy if they weren't covered like that? I don't know. :)
p.s. West Elm totally just sent me a coupon saying they missed me. It's like they KNEW they'd be seeing me tomorrow. Sneaky sneaky. Maybe after I get my book signed I can spend all my monies. :)
Oh no! Haha. A Fall craft (even if it fails) is totally on my bucket list this season, which I better get on before Thanksgiving. My comment is really about using the pretzels as a little holder. I have discovered that putting 3 chocolate chips in the holes of mini pretzels make the fastest chocolate-covered pretzels. Those holes are useful!
I left my acorns out to dry and a week later they were full of creepy crawlies… I had visions of putting them in a tall glass vase, but that clearly didn't pan out. haha
I think if you leave them open so they can "breathe" and not form condensation then you wouldn't have the nold problem. I popped a couple of mini pumpkins in a closed terrarium and guess what, yep mold…
haha *mold not nold
I did the same thing! I had a whole wack of them in a lovely apothecary jar. They lasted about two days…
I hear you're supposed to put them in the oven… Maybe they were too damp from being in the freezer?
I'm chuffed that you're using the word, er, chuffed, but could you explain what a 'wild hair' means please? thanks!
I just Love how you keep many little meaningful things about your life around in your house. This is so sentimental and makes it feel like home, the special place it is supposed to be. :D
That same thing happened to me! I picked up some acorns from my yard, but instead of freezing them, I baked them. I put them in a glass with a candle on top and some ribbon around the glass and a few days later, I had mold on mine too! Tried it a second time, same result. Acorn crafting is out of the picture for me.
I read a thing on Pinterest that said to put those tiny gel packs (that come in shoe boxes, etc) in the bottom when you do something like this. It absorbs the moisture somehow and keeps your decor looking great :)
I did this last year (well I collected acorns and glittered the tops) completely neglecting the freezer step. I put the acorns in the bottom of a huge vase with a fall scented candle. About 2 weeks later I noticed little worms (maggots maybe?) crawling all over the bottom and lodged up in my candle. It was disgusting and I threw the whole thing away! I always side eye any Pinterest acorn projects wondering if they ever have bug issues!
Same thing happened to me last year. The only precaution I took was washing the outside off of them in the sink beforehand. Of course we didn't discover the maggots until we noticed the sudden fly problem in the house. So gross! I will not deal with acorns straight off the ground ever again!
I tried using acorns around a pillar candle in a chunky hurricane vase and had a similar experience…except mine actually sprouted! It looks like I have white worms coming out of all my acorns. Scary for Halloween, but not very cute for fall!
oh yes – I thought acorns would be cute inside a glass hurricane with a candle on top. I missed the memo about putting them in a freezer so a couple of days later I got mold AND bugs. Lovely. Can't tell you how fast those babies went in the trash.
I did fully recover and fill my hurricanes with my standard fall brown dried beans and white rice for a little neutral texture (no mold and pretty for the win!).
So glad I'm not the only one!
I think you have to bake them …. like at 250 for an hour or so. Or buy some fake ones and call it a day!
Acorns should be banned from all crafts…I tried to make an acorn wreathe off of pinterest last year. I spent literally like 10-12 hours collecting acorns, baking them (as instructed), hotglueing them to the wreathe and spraypainting it. It was all for waste because the acorns would dry up, crack in two and come off the wreathe. I also had my fair share of bugs – gross….too bad because i love the look of acorns!
Whoops, think I spotted a typo. Above the first photo with the yellow paint I think you meant to say "A day later" as opposed to "A day layer".
If you look on websites that sell acorns for crafts, it usually mentions something about drying them in the oven. Maybe next time!
I has tiny worms hat h out of my acorn project years ago. I feel ya pain!
I love the pretzel holsters! That's thinking outside the box! Also, maybe you could replace the color-dipped acorns with fall-colored M&Ms. They kind of look the same from afar. Plus, you know, then you have chocolate.
(PS – this is take 2 at posting. I never have success commenting via Google Chrome. Sorry if you get my comment twice!)
thought you might like this website: http://pinstrosity.blogspot.com/2012/10/holiday-crafts-all-warm-and-fuzzy.html Pinstrosity tests out crafty pins from Pinterest and then posts them with why they think they went wrong.
Perhaps cooking/roasting would have worked better than freezing in terms of killing stuff off (including bugs and mold)…
I would think baking them at a low temp may work, not sure if they would crack. That would help with moisture and bugs. Once mine all hatched into worms ICK!!!!!
Maybe try drying them out. Put them on a flat cookie sheet or baking pan and let them air dry for a few days. They were probably still moist from being outside.
Just so you can know you aren't alone– 2 years ago, I put a bunch of gourds in our lidded hurricane glasses on the mantle. They were beautiful. For 36 hours. Then, rather suddenly, half of them were black with mold and the hurrican glasses were filled with fog. I actively ignored it for another day because I refused to think about cleaning the things out. And then I basically had to wear a gas mask and gloves to get them out and sanitize the glasses! Now I just leave lids off!

An apparatus is disclosed for the continuous and reliable measurement of the yield of oil wells. The fluid from the well, consisting of mixture of oil and gas, is directed into a two-phase separator having separate outlets for gas and liquid. Within the separator, or in direct communication therewith, is a combined liquid level and pressure regulator, which comprises a float supported by the liquid, and upper and lower pressure-compensated slide valves directly mechanically connected to the float and movable vertically therewith, simultaneously progressively closing one outlet while progressively opening the other. Downstream of the pressure-compensated slide valves there are separate yield-measuring devices for the oil and gas output, and further downstream is a mixture, where the components are recombined and thoroughly mixed. A water content meter can also be provided in the flow path for the separated liquid. The mechanism is extremely simplified and economical to install, yet is highly reliable for extended unsupervised service in the field, independent of electrical requirements.

The present invention relates to the continuous measurement of the yield of liquid and gaseous components of oil wells.
A pre-condition of economical recovery of oil fields in the planned nature of its exploitation. A sensible plan of exploitation can be composed exclusively on the basis of the experiences gained on the hydrocarbon site during exploration. The preparation of such a plan requires the knowledge of the characteristics of the hydrocarbon site. The yield of the oil well is the most important feature. Proper information on the yield of the oil well can be gained by continuous, individual measurement of the oil wells. That means that measuring of the well yield and other parameters represents a generally increasing requirement.
The requirements to be met by measuring the yield of oil wells are following:
continuous measurement,
low resistance,
high reliability,
operation without supervision, and
relatively low expenditure.
Means are known for measuring the yield of oil wells for satisfying the above requirements. There are known means which are arranged on collecting station, for measuring the yield, of groups of wells and drilling islands. The basic principle of the operation of these grouped instruments is that the total output of the well is separated by a two-phase separation into liquid and gas, or by three-phase separation into oil, water and gas.
Accordingly, the mixture of gaseous and liquid components recovered from the oil well is separated either in a two phase or in a three phase separator. In case of two phase separation, after having separated the liquid and the gaseous components, the oil and the water content of the liquid are determined each by a separate measuring instrument.
The yield of the single components of the recovered mixture can be determined by the continuous measurement of the yield, volume (cubage) or by weighing the mass. The accuracy of the measurement of the yield of an oil well depends on the means of measurement measuring processes, and period of measuring.
The work of L.J. Lazovszkij, S.M. Szmotrickij: "Automatizacija izmerenja produkci nyeftjanik szkvazsin" gives a good survey of the presently used means for measuring the yield of oil wells.
Nevertheless, the aforementioned study does not deal with the well spread method. That method resides in the fact that two three-phase measuring separators are operated in the collecting station. One of the separators works with a lower outflow, while the other one with a higher outflow level. The measuring separator with the higher outflow continuously measures the collecting station, while the measuring separator with the lower outflow measures the yields of the single wells periodically, one by one. Accordingly, it is a shortcoming of the method that independent continuous measuring of the single wells is not possible.
The British Patent No. 2,179,156 discloses a device for measuring the yield of oil wells. This device tries to solve the problem of continuous measurement without separators. As is clear from the patent, the apparatus contains a small size separator, thus the separators could not be eliminated.
Experiments directed to the continuous and reliable measuring of the yield of oil wells (as is obvious from technical literature) aim even today at solving the problem of yield measurement without the use of separators. However, we are not aware of any publication disclosing a suitable solution for realization in this practice.
The aim of the present invention is to provide apparatus for the continuous measurement of the yield of oil wells with low cost, high reliability and low resistance enabling operation without supervision.
To fulfill this task we prepared an apparatus for measuring the yield of oil wells, comprising a two-phase separator connected to an inflow stub delivering the mixture of liquid and gaseous components from the oil well, a liquid measuring device connected to the liquid outlet of the separator, a gas yield measuring device connected to the gas outlet of the separator, and a mixer connected to the liquid, and gas outlets of the measuring devices. The mixer is provided with a united liquid level control and pressure regulator comprising a float sensing the liquid level and two pressure compensated slide valves cooperating with the float and being movable in accordance with movements thereof. The slide valves are installed in a gas delivering and/or a liquid delivering passage downstream of the separator to regulate the discharge cross-section of the outlets for the gas and the liquid, depending on the position of the float.
The combined regulator, for regulating liquid level and pressure, can have a float arranged directly in the separator, or a float arranged outside the separator, in a separate armature.
To advantage, measuring orifices are used for measuring both liquid and gas yields. The main advantages of the measuring orifices are that they contain no moving elements, operate with satisfactory accuracy and reliability, and their measuring range can be changed within wide limits.
For determining the water content of the separated liquid components, either the liquid yield measuring instrument is connected to a water content meter measuring directly, or the water content is determined by calculation based on another measured parameter.
The operation of the apparatus of the invention is suitably controlled by a microprocessor control unit which performs the necessary calculation on basis of the measurement results. The microprocessor is adapted to receive central commands and to continuously control periodical exploitation of the oil well in accordance with a predetermined program.
The invention is described below in greater detail with reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein FIGS. 1 to 4 are simplified schematic representations of different embodiments of the apparatus for measuring the yield of oil wells.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the apparatus according to the invention is provided with a two-phase separator 3 into which mixture of liquid and gas recovered from the oil well arrives through a valve 1 and a tangential inflow stub 2. Inside the separator 3, the gas enters a drop separator 5. From the drop separator 5 the liquid, which has been separated from the gas, flows through a conduit 6 to a liquid space 13 provided in the lower portion of the separator 3. The separated gas flows into a gas outlet stub 7 in the upper portion of the separator 3 through variable openings controlled by a pressure compensated slide valve 19 of the combined regulator of liquid level and pressure. From there the gas flows through a flow regulator 8, a gas yield measuring device 9 (measuring orifice) and a check valve 10 into a mixer 11. The gas delivering conduit includes a built-in temperature sensor 22.
The liquid, separated from the incoming mixture of liquid and gas, is collected in the lower liquid space 13 of the separator 3. From there it flows through variable outlet openings controlled by a pressure compensated slide valve 20 of the combined liquid level control and pressure regulator into the liquid outlet stub 14. The liquid then passes through a flow regulator 15 into a liquid yield measuring instrument 16 (measuring orifice). From the liquid yield measuring device 16 the liquid flows through a water content meter 17, and from there it flows through a check valve 18 into the mixer 11.
In the mixer 11 the liquid and the gas are thoroughly mixed, and the mixture flows through a valve 12 into a suitable collector (not shown).
The pressure compensated sliding valves 19 and 20 of the combined liquid level control and pressure regulator are in a cooperating forced connection with a liquid level sensing float 21 arranged in the separator (FIGS. 1 and 2).
The equipment is provided with a microprocessor control unit 23 arranged with two-way signal connections with the gas yield measuring instrument 9, the liquid yield measuring instrument 16, the water content meter 17 and the temperature sensor 22, as well as with the inlet and outlet valve means 1 and 12.
The embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 2, differs from that of FIG. 1 in that a water content meter (corresponding) to element -7 of FIG. 1, is not provided. Elements shown in FIG. 2 that correspond to those of FIG. 1 utilize corresponding reference numerals increased by 100 (i.e., 101 of FIG. 2 corresponds to 1 of FIG. 1).
In the apparatus according to the invention, the combined liquid level control and pressure regulator can be also arranged outside the separator (see FIGS. 3 and 4). In the FIG. 3 embodiment, which generally corresponds in functions to the FIG. 1 embodiment, similar components are identified by reference numerals corresponding to those of FIG. 1, but increased by 200 (i.e., reference numerals 201 of FIG. 3 corresponds to 1 of FIG. 1).
In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the float 221 is arranged in a separate vertical housing 224. The housing 224 is connected at the top with the gas delivering conduit, downstream of the gas yield measuring instrument 209 and at the bottom with the liquid delivering conduit, downstream of the liquid yield measuring instrument 216. In the vertical (standing) housing 224, sliding valves 219 and 220 controlling the gas flow and the liquid flow, respectively, are in a cooperating forced connection with a float 221. The slide valve 219 is connected to the upper gas outlet stub, while the slide valve 220 is connected to the lower liquid outlet stub of the housing 224, controlling the discharge cross-sections. The upper outlet stub is connected via a gas delivering conduit, while the lower outlet stub is connected via a liquid delivering conduit, to the mixer II. In the mixer 11 the gas and the liquid are thoroughly re-mixed, and the mixture flows through a valve 212 into a collector (not shown).
The embodiment of FIG. 4 is similar to that of FIG. 3, and corresponding parts are identified by corresponding reference numerals in the "300" range. In the embodiment of FIG. 4. The water content meter (217 in FIG. 3) has been omitted. The functions of the FIG. 4 equipment thus correspond closely to those of the FIG. 2 embodiment.
The equipment according to the invention operates as follows (with reference numerals referring to the FIG. 1 embodiment unless the context indicates otherwise):
Continuous delivery of the liquid and the gas components, respectively, of the mixture, is achieved by means of the combined liquid level and pressure regulator comprising the pressure compensated slide valves 19 and 20, arranged in mechanical connection with the float 21 provided in the separator 3 (or in a separate vertical housing 224 or 324.) If the liquid level rises, the float 21 rises too. It correspondingly lifts the slide valve 20, which increases the discharge cross-section of the liquid outlet. Simultaneously, the slide valve 19, controlling the discharge cross-section of the gas, also rises narrowing (choking) the discharge cross-section the gas outlet. As a consequence, the pressure in the gas space of the separator 3 (or float housing, in the case of the embodiments of FIGS. 3 and 4) increases. Accordingly, an increased liquid flow leaves the separator.
If the liquid level in the separator drops, the float 21 moves downward. As a result, the slide valve 19 opens the discharge cross-section of the gas outlet, while the slide valve 20 correspondingly chokes the discharge cross-section of the liquid outlet. As a consequence, a new state of equilibrium is developed, which means that the delivery system is self-controlling.
When the yield of the oil well ceases, the check valves 10 and 18 automatically close to prevent reflux of mixture from the collector. When starting exploitation the equipment begins operating automatically, without external intervention.
By the proper programming of the microprocessor control unit 23, the equipment according to the invention may be rendered suitable for the control and measuring of periodical exploitation of oil. Control according to a given time program represents the easiest possibility. In this case the microprocessor control unit starts and stops the pumps of the system according to a predetermined time program. In the case of a gaslift exploitation, it opens or closes the gas charging valve, and simultaneously controls all the means of the system that take part in the exploitation. In case of this latter type of control it seems to be expedient to form the closing means 1 as remote operated unit.
According to another possible method for control of the periodical exploitation of an oil well, after having reached a given predetermined minimal yield value, the microprocessor control unit interrupts the exploitation and starts it again only after a certain span of time.
The equipment according to the invention is well suitable for the optimization of gaslift exploitation. In this case, the measuring of the amount of gas fed into the oil well is superfluous, as the equipment continuously measures the gas yield. The measuring equipment according to the invention enables continuous measuring of the yield of the oil well and guarantees the immediate detection of irregular functions of the system.
The continuous regulation according to the invention does not require auxiliary energy either in the liquid phase, or in the gas phase. Controlled operation is maintained even in the absence of current supply, and external intervention is not required when current supply returns.
The pressure drop within the equipment is relatively low. Its value corresponds always to the momentary yield.
Actuation of the equipment requires neither an operator nor constant supervision. The structural layout of the equipment is most simple, and its realization requires relatively low expenditure.
Due to the continuous measuring, measuring errors appearing in connection with the usual periodical methods need not to be reckoned with.

Frere Jacques Piano Sheet Music
Perhaps the most famous of all French songs known to the English speaking world is, Frere Jacques. The songs notoriety is not restricted to English however, and there are translations in almost every modern language in the world. A French nursery melody, the song is traditionally sung by a group of people in a round. When the initial singer or singers reach the end of the first line/lyric, the second singer or group begin from beginning of the song. This is repeated until the singers decide to stop.
Although conjecture remains about the origin of the song, the earliest claim to the songs first published date is by James Fuld, who in 1995 stated that the tune was first published in 1811.
Although the song is still widely sung in the original French, an approximate English translation of the famous lyrics would read:
"Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
All Night Long, All Night Long,
Morning bells are ringing! Evening bells are ringing!
Ding, dong, ding. Ding, ding, dong."

Joyce, the flowers on NOL start white and color up to that color. One of my favorites, knockout fragrance.
I should have pics of Jacayna and Camille tomorrow. Plus plenty of others have buds. Exciting times here!
Barb speaking of Avatars...I went to the german forum and I did not believe my eyes. He had a purplish bloom. But that was not the AHHHHHHHHHHHH thing. The bloom had just above the whiskers right where the line ends and the skirt starts...SPIKES!!! Yes SPIKES!! Gosh I wish I could show you all lol. He said it was a freak creation from nature. A one of a kind thing.
Sorry for that Shawn lol.
I DID come back to see if you added more pics though :-)
Beautiful Shawn, everything is looking great!!
Can't wait for my NOL to bloom, she's just stick with a few roots and a few leaves right now, lol..cant wait till that baby grows up. For now, I will just enjoy your beautiful pics of her, and her friends.
Thanks everyone!
pkponder....I think the pics of ST are from the 2nd and 3rd days after the bloom opened. It is not a true red, but a nice dark pink around the bottom that fades up the corolla. I think the color looks different in different lighting. I really like it.
Karyn, here is my avatar. It is a savoy truffle bloom(color enhanced on this pic) and a leaf from my variegated monstera.

Volunteers keep festival going
Jennifer Hayes believes the Maple Leaf Festival wouldn't be what it is without the numerous volunteers that work each year.
"Literally hundreds of people donate their time to help the festival be a success," Hayes, festival committee president, said. "A lot of community groups pitch in and help."
Festival committee member Star Novak agreed the Baldwin community never hesitates to help make the festival successful each year.
"There's such a group of dedicated individuals that work year round on the festival," Novak said.
One of the groups that offers a lot of help every year, she said, is the Boy Scouts, who spend the festival picking up trash from streets and sidewalks and emptying trash cans.
"What impresses me is the trash pick up," she said. "The city looks clean and it is due totally to the Boy Scouts that keep the trash under control. They do a tremendous job."
Diane Wagner, festival committee member, said another group that deserves credit for the time volunteered is the Worden United Methodist Church who worked at the street barricades and helped direct festival traffic on Saturday.
"They were just wonderful," Wagner said.
City staff and local law enforcement, Novak said, also contributed to the success of the festival.
"They always deserve a big thank you," she said.
Committee member Stacy Cohen said the Maple Leaf Festival depends on the Baldwin community each year.
"I think as a committee, we really appreciate how much the community supports the festival and how much the city and the police department support us," she said.
"If it weren't for all of the volunteers in this town, we wouldn't be able to have the festival," she said.

duck hatching question
schmargyMay 12, 2010
Hello- I posted awhile back about our classroom incubator being off when we arrived on a Monday morning a few weeks back. Since then we lost one egg, and one hatched yesterday-3 days early. Poor little guy was stuck and needed some help, but is doing just fine today. Cute little black Cayuga duckling. Our last egg has one more day to hatch day. We thought we heard an occasional peck inside, very faint and not very often. How long do the ducklings peck inside before they pip? Thanks for your advice!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Seventeen minutes says it all, heh-heh-heh
We don't like to rub it in.
So to those who suggested NHL hockey would not work in Winnipeg there's little to say. "You were wrong" is a good start. "Shut up" is a better finish.
Related Items
True North hit its goal of 13,000 season tickets on Saturday -- with just 17 minutes needed once packages were put on the market to the general public.
"This is a collective partnership and it speaks to the collective strength of the community to be able to do something as precedent-setting as this in the middle of the Prairies, way north of all these clubs in big cities in the U.S.," said True North CEO Jim Ludlow just minutes after the Drive to 13,000 had been completed. "Somebody for sure down there is looking and saying, 'Wow! This is going to be a great marketplace for us. And, wow! That community deserves to have this team back."
No kidding.
There's been lots of talk that the league made a mistake moving to a market that wouldn't be able to generate suitable revenue.
Let this be a lesson to the doubters.
Winnipeg and Manitoba are not also-rans.
Randy Carlyle said this to me the other day about Manitobans: "Just don't tell them they can't."
Seems Kitty knows a little bit about this place, because we just drilled the naysayers right in the lips.
Revenue is what makes an NHL franchise work and at an average price of $82 the Winnipeg club will generate just north of $54-million in ticket revenue this coming season. That's before they sell a beer or a board sign or a TV ad.
It's also in the top half of ticket revenue among NHL teams. The smallest building in the smallest market in the league will make more money off ticket sales than half the teams in the NHL.
Ugly Winnipeg, with its cold and its mosquitoes can't thrive in the NHL. Whatever.
When we got our chance, we delivered. Big time. This has been a week of triumph here. First for True North and now for the people of this city and province. Both were called upon and both answered with swift assuredness.
Commissioner Gary Bettman will take that message to New York on June 21 and ask the NHL's board of governors to vote on the conditional sale and relocation of the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg.
The vote will take about 30 seconds, after which Mark Chipman will be introduced to the rest of the board as its newest member. Our days of pressing our noses up against the window are over. We're in. End of story.
There's also a little something to be said to those who suggested the MTS Centre was too small at 15,000 seats.
Again, "you're wrong," sums it up nicely.
Winnipeg is pretty much guaranteed sellouts for a long time. Don't be surprised if the same thing that happened in Minnesota, where the Wild sold out for a decade upon returning to the NHL, takes place here.
Tickets to the NHL in Winnipeg will be among the most difficult to get in North American professional sports.
The building size may be the key to the franchise's long-term viability. True North moves to the front of the class in marketing.
Their product is hard to get. That's a good thing.
It will allow True North to have revenue certainty and to do their job in building and managing the franchise.
They'll have money and be able to spend it, making sure the on-ice product lives up to the expectations of the public.
True North did its part getting the franchise. Now, the people have done theirs by picking up the torch and selling out the building for years to come.
Finally we can move on.
Let the games begin.

Dogs bound into action for slice of Cumbria country life
Last updated at 08:58, Thursday, 28 August 2014
HOUNDS and birds of prey were among the big attractions at a west Cumbria show over the bank holiday.
Black Combe Country Fair drew more than 1,000 people on bank holiday Monday.
Falconry Days entertained visitors with their display in the main ring at the Bootle show field.
Classes for beagles, foxhounds, gun dogs, terriers, lurchers and whippets were well supported by the public.
The Supreme Championship prize was awarded to a labrador this year.
Next year the show is looking to introduce a class for pet beagles due to popular demand.
The public enjoyed testing their gun dogs around a new scurry course event, while their was also lurcher and terrier races and fun races for dogs of all types. There was also a demonstration of whippet racing.
Children were well catered for with sports events and craft activities put on by Captain Shaw's CE Primary School.
Visitors could also view vintage cars, static engines and agricultural engines.
There was also a range of trade stands on the field and refreshments on sale.
Show secretary Sandra Cummings said: "We were really pleased with the turnout. It was a bit grey and windy but the show was quite busy. The car park was full and we had to open another field for parking.
"We've had good feedback. The traders want to come back again next year.
"Overall it was a very successful day.
"We are already planning for next year's show."
