Updates to Area Best Buy Stores
Best Buy has dumped $20 million into its 43 Chicago-area stores this year, giving an overdue face-life to one of its oldest markets and adding several new features, such as high-end appliances and professional-grade cameras, that the electronic giant hopes help it stay relevant amid stiff competition.
Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics retailer with more than 1,000 stores, is in the midst of a plan to tackle declining sales and shrinking profit margins. The retailer plans to reduce costs, improve supply chain efficiencies, and ramp up the in-store experience to give shoppers a reason to shop at Best Buy instead of Wal-Mart, Amazon.com or tech stores such as Apple or AT&T.
According to the company, the Chicago market, which represented Best Buy's first expansion into a major metro area in the early 1990s and has one of the retailer's densest store counts in the country, is the only one to have all of its stores remodeled. With the retailer focused for many years on expansion, some Chicago stores still had their original 1990s fixtures.
But new carpet and brighter lighting aren't the only changes.
To entice shoppers, stores in Lincoln Park and Orland Park became the first in the country to feature 6-foot-by-8-foot Samsung Center Stage touch screens where shoppers can pull up specs and test washing machines and refrigerators against different decor, swiping images on the digital screen much like a CNN anchor on election night.
In addition, Best Buy in summer debuted premium brands at new Pacific Home and Kitchen stores inside Chicago-area Best Buys in Downers Grove, Joliet, Schaumburg, Aurora, Vernon Hills and Bloomingdale, for the first time offering products from Wolf, Viking and Bosch. Best Buy, which bought California appliance retailer Pacific Sales in 2005, has 120 in-store Pacific Home locations nationwide that sell high-end appliance brands and offer custom kitchen design.
Best Buy is trying to position itself as a premium seller in several areas. It is expanding its Magnolia Design Centers in its stores in Downers Grove, Schaumburg and Bucktown, which offer high-end entertainment brands and custom home theater design and installation.
It has added Camera Experience Shops to stores in Downers Grove and Schaumburg among 36 nationwide, where it offers almost triple its regular assortment of cameras, including dozens of high-end digital SLR lenses, aiming to cater to photography fans or professionals left in a lurch as many dedicated camera stores across the country have closed.
A Walker Sands survey, which looks into the future of retail, stated that 69 percent of shoppers say they buy their consumer electronics online, more than any other category.
Sales of CDs and DVDs, once Best Buy's bread and butter, have started diminishing as many people buy their music and movies digitally, the retailer has had to explore other avenues for growth. Revenue was $8.9 billion in the most recent quarter, down 4 percent from a year earlier, while net income, at $145 million, was down from $266 million a year earlier, though much of last year's profit stemmed from a legal settlement. Sales at stores open at least a year were down 2 percent, in line with industry declines.

High school football: Top Utah prep athletes sign to play college football (updated +video)
Dallin Hatch
SALT LAKE CITY — It's national signing day and never has signing a contract held so much allure.
Across the country top high school student-athletes are making their college choices official by signing their names on national letters of intent. It is a moment years in the making, and for most, it's the realization of a lifelong dream — to play college sports.
This day is also highly anticipated by college football fans as they watch the names of hotly recruited athletes appear on official college websites starting at 6 a.m.
Many local high schools choose to mark the moment with small celebrations as some of their best athletes announce where they'll extend their football careers and earn educations with their skills.
"This is really what we want for you," said East head coach Brandon Matich as eight of his players signed scholarship paperwork at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. "We want to win state titles and all of that, but what we really want is to see you go on to college. This is what's important."
East sent two receivers to Utah State — Zach Swenson and John Fakahafua.
"I'm just a country boy at heart," said Swenson, who was decked out in Aggie blue. Both he and Fakahafua said the change of head coach from Gary Andersen to Matt Wells didn't bother them at all.
"I'm excited about it," Swenson said.
Fakahafua won't appear on the college website because he has to make up a math class that didn't meet the NCAA's clearinghouse requirement. It's a class from his freshman year, which he'll take online in the next few months before enrolling at Utah State.
Fakahafua said it was visiting USU that persuaded him to become an Aggie.
"It was a really great visit," he said. "It's a great program, and it's only going to go up." He said one of the highlights was chatting with USU quarterback Chuckie Keaton.
"He gave me some pointers," Fakahafua said with a grin.
BYU landed two East High Leopards: linebacker Patrick Palau, who will serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before enrolling at BYU, and Merrill "Meti" Taliauli, who graduated early so he can enroll at the Y. and participate in spring ball.
"I was planning to go on a mission first, but coach (Bronco) Mendenhall called and asked me to play a year," said Taliauli. "He said it would help them and benefit me, as well. So I'll head out on my mission next January." The nose guard said he's more worried about taking college classes than battling BYU's defensive line.
"I'm nervous," he said laughing. "I heard it's hard."
It's his lifelong dream to be a Cougar, and now it's a reality.
"I thought I'd have a couple of years to kick back and relax," he said. "But it's coming up fast now."
Linebacker Palau said he was "very excited" to finally make his commitment to BYU official.
"I'm still adapting to the reality," he said. "It's kind of unreal. ... I'm still getting used to the mojo of it being a reality."
Meanwhile, left tackle B.J. Tapa signed with William Penn.
"I'm really nervous," he said as his parents looked on Wednesday.

Escape from Dorf Bay – Post-mortem & Lessons Learned
Today I posted EfDB post-mortem.
I made the fix everyone that played requested, now the navigation arrows will always appear, instead of only when your mouse cursor is hovering them.
This is a simple problem, even simpler to fix, but annoied a lot of people.
It also is a problem that, without proper testing, will surely go unnoticed, as when I was deving it, I thought every path seemed very obvious, and everyone would be able to find their way easily.
I also learned that sometimes you don't need to do the art to make a game, but without a script, it's way harder…
So, my dreams of making an horror adventure game for LD were crushed by my obligations with real life. I managed to get hold of about 20 hours for this compo, but it was not nearly enough.
I proceeded to do everything I could on the time elapsed, but the results were underwhelming.
I submited it, nonetheless, only so I could say that this time, unlike the last one, I didn't completely gave up.
Also, for those who are interested, here's the day 1 timelapse, showing some coding in processing, my photo editing skills and some other crap:
A game within a game…
So, I gave up on my first idea in the middle of the coding.
But I'm so lazy, but so lazy, that I decided to incorporate the beggining of the first game into the second, thus an Inception throphy is awaited.
Also, I decided to give up on the drawings, they were sucking too much.
So, when I had the problem of having no art whatsoever, a friend of mine gave me the idea of how my house was scary.
Now, my art is based on photography.
I'll slip a pic used in my game, so everyone can take a hint on what it will look like.
My desk and my dinner
Seriously, I can't draw anything on the pc. I only have paint and it is not helping me today. I tought about downloading gimp or something similar, but I would take a long time to learn to do just the basics and nothing would appease me.
So I drawing everything by hand. Yeah, that's right. Pen and Paper right through it.
It looks awesome though, as I have only a black moji pen and very few paper sheets to use.
I guess i'm going for the "pretensious artistic game trophy" this year.
How I got motivated…
Everything started a couple months ago.
I saw a picture on the web, a trick picture, you know, that .png thing that makes the thumbnail to be one thing, but the expanded version to be another pic.
It was a deformed manga girl face.
At first, I got scared, but, a couple nights later, I was sleeping at my gf appartment, when, in the middle of the night, I woke up thinking about the picture. And I couldn't sleep anymore, not because of the picture itself, or fear, or anything related to it (maybe a bit). Instead, I was awake in a highly creative state of mind, thinking about all of the horror games I could make out of it.
That picture made me lose one night of sleep, as it probably did to a lot of other people who saw it, but in my case, it was for the best…
PS: that's the pic that motivated me. Fortunately, the Dashboard allowed me to post the pic showing the thumbnail part of it.
My first bug…
Good god, not a single couple hours in and I just have myself a frigging bug.
Apparently, mousePressed's are way too fast to be used for button handling.
I don't wanna implement mouseReleased, I ain't got time for this and mouseReleased is for wimps!
And then the Dev made the main menu…
Back for LD#2 for me!
So this is my second LD, the first one was on april '10.
I already have a great idea of what to do, and now just need to get focused and workworkwork!
I was thinking about learning Unity for this LD, but things got messed up, so I'll be doing everything from scratch using processing, as my previous experience with gamemaker made me realize I spent more time rearranging and categorizing my buttons and variables than actually coding and developing.
Best of luck to us all.
Some questions
Guise, my last LD was made on GameMaker, in which, albeit controverse, I created pretty much everything that could be created myself.
But not, with this Unity kind of thing it feels so "just take it and do something about it".
Am I allowed to use resources like the "First Person Camera" or stuff like that?
What does not kill me…
…will be my weapon!
Was hoping for this concept from the start, I just finished downloading Unity and will start learning it from the very bottom line…
For now that's my High Score on my favorite game so far… This one got me hooked up for hours!
Now i'm preparing a small protection so I can get out of the computer and have dinner…
I wished I could save/pause though =(

'Conspiracy theorist' Norman Baker replacement of Jeremy Browne heads list of reshuffle surprises
David Cameron promoted several women and MPs from working-class backgrounds in the shake-up
Nigel Morris
Nigel Morris is Deputy Political Editor at The Independent.
Deputy Political Editor
Monday 07 October 2013
The new Liberal Democrat minister in the Home Office vowed on Monday night to make the department "more liberal" as he dismissed accusations that he is a "conspiracy theorist" because he wrote a book suggesting the government scientist David Kelly was murdered.
In the most eye-catching move in a Coalition ministerial reshuffle, Norman Baker replaced his party colleague Jeremy Browne as a minister of state in the department headed by Theresa May.
David Cameron promoted several women and MPs from working-class backgrounds in the shake-up in an effort to make Tory ministerial ranks less dominated by male public school products.
And Nick Clegg appointed a new Scottish Secretary, signalling a determination to strike a more aggressive note in the run-up to next year's referendum on Scottish independence.
The biggest surprise came when Mr Baker, who is on the left of his party, succeeded Jeremy Browne, who had previously been seen as a close Clegg ally.
His arrival at the Home Office, where he is likely to take charge of crime prevention and drugs policy, comes as Ms May toughens her language on immigration and steps up her criticism of human rights legislation.
Mr Baker told The Independent he wanted to resist moves to push the department's agenda to the right and added that he was inspired by Roy Jenkins, the reforming Labour Home Secretary of the 1960s.
"I want to make the Home Office more liberal, when it has been liberal it's been a force for good," he said. "I want to make sure the rights of individuals are protected, that we get the right balance between the state and the individual. That is very important for our party."
His appointment, which is said to have infuriated Ms May, also raised eyebrows because of his previous claim that Dr Kelly, whose death in 2003 triggered the Hutton inquiry, could have been killed by Iraqi assassins.
But Mr Baker said: "That's a standard term of abuse. I don't regard it as controversial to raise doubts when someone who has an unexplained death and there is no inquest. That's all in the past."
The biggest reshuffle victim was Michael Moore, the only Cabinet minister to lose his job. He was succeeded as Scottish Secretary by fellow Lib Dem Alistair Carmichael, who was previously his party's chief whip and will take a more combative approach to the Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond, during the independence referendum campaign.
A series of female Conservative MPs were promoted following criticism of the paucity of women ministers in Tory ranks.
Among the biggest winners was the former television presenter Esther McVey, who was elevated from minister for the disabled to employment minister.
Anna Soubry was switched from the Department of Health to become the first woman minister in the Ministry of Defence, while Nicky Morgan was promoted to Economic Secretary to the Treasury, which was a previously all-male team.
Three allies of Chancellor George Osborne won significant promotions, with Sajid Javid appointed Financial Secretary to the Treasury and tipped to join the Cabinet within the next year.
Matthew Hancock became Skills and Enterprise minister and Greg Hands was named as the Conservative Deputy Chief Whip.
Greg Clark was moved from the Treasury to take on responsibilities for cities and constitutional reform at the Cabinet Office and the former soldier Mike Penning was switched from Northern Ireland to the Department for Work and Pensions, where he will be charged selling benefits reforms to voters.
Andrew Grice: Cameron carved the joint humanely
David Cameron does not enjoy reshuffles. Today's shake-up had been put off on a few occasions. But, as Margaret Thatcher once said, all prime ministers, even if they do not enjoy being a "butcher," have to learn to "carve the joint."
Mr Cameron did it as humane a way as possible. The days when sacked ministers are summoned to Downing Street for ritual humiliation in front of the TV cameras are over. Today, they were dismissed by phone. Some of the promoted ones were called to Number 10 - even though they didn't need to be - to smile for the cameras.
In another break with precedent, ministers such as Chloe Smith and John Randall were allowed to pre-announce their own departure in advance, which eliminated them from the sack race.
Reshuffle days cause a frenzy in the Westminster village. It's make-or-break time for the careers of 650 MPs. Commentators love to see who's up, down, in and out. But history teaches us that today's shake-ups of both the government and opposition teams will make little impact in the real world.

Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem 370 (R).
(photo credit:Thinkstock/Imagebank)
The secretariat of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee has come out against a bid
by the Palestinian Authority to use an emergency procedure to register
Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity under the country of "Palestine" as a World
Heritage site."At the UN, where the General Assembly each year adopts
more resolutions criticizing Israel than on the rest of the world combined, this
is a spectacle as rare as Halley's Comet," UN Watch executive director Hillel
Neuer said.He first published news of the rejection on his blog, and
circulated it to the media."This is the first time in recent memory that
a draft resolution circulated by the United Nations – let alone by UNESCO, which
recently elected Assad's Syria to its human rights committee – openly rejected a
Palestinian claim or position," Neuer said. His Geneva-based nonprofit group
monitors UN activity.The secretariat's resolution echoes a conclusion by
the International Council on Monuments and Sites, whose professional staff
similarly concluded that the Palestinians should pursue World Heritage
registration through regular channels. It, like the secretariat, said that more
could be done to improve the technical nature of the application.The
Church of the Nativity is one of the 36 potential new World Heritage sites. A
World Heritage Committee of 21 countries is set to debate their inclusion during
a meeting that will be held from June 24 to July 6 in St. Petersburg,
Russia.The draft resolution posted by the secretariat on the World
Heritage website states that the Palestinians should "resubmit the nomination in
accordance with normal procedures for nomination, to allow a proper assessment
of integrity, authenticity and conversation, and proper consideration of
management arrangements and appropriate boundaries for the property."The
final decision will be made by a two-thirds vote of the 21 countries that are
members of the World Heritage Committee.The PA has asked the World
Heritage Committee to consider adding the church to its list through an
emergency procedure reserved for endangered sites.Approval by the
21-member committee would mark the first time that a World Heritage Site has
been registered to the country of "Palestine."The United Nations has not
recognized Palestine as a member state. But in October, UNESCO vote to include
Palestine on its list of 195 member states, and to accord it full state rights
in all UNESCO-related bodies, such as the World Heritage Committee.In
March, after the PA signature on the UNESCO's Convention Concerning the
Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage was ratified, the PA asked the
World Heritage Committee to register the church and the pilgrimage route in
Bethlehem.In its application, the PA said, "The combined effects of the
consequences of the Israeli occupation and the lack of scientific and technical
measures for restoring and preserving the property are creating an emergency
situation that should be addressed by an emergency measure."Israel has
opposed registering the site under Palestine, until such time as it becomes a
state as a result of a negotiated end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It
has opposed all unilateral steps toward statehood by the PA.It does,
however, support registering the church as a World Heritage site, and would have
wanted to present it to the committee together with the Palestinians as a joint
endeavor.Israel's position at present is simply to urge the 21 member
countries to support the secretariat's position.The Palestinians in turn
say that the church is endangered and that it is their right to register the
site solely under Palestine.

This muffler sounds great on my truck. I took it to a muffler shop and had it installed on my truck using the factory resonators and tips. It is a little louder than I thought it was going to be, but it sounds mean. I highly recommend all Flowmaster products. This muffler is loud, but not the loudest I have ever had.

Getting to the bottom of 'root causes'
Tories mock Trudeau for idea they promoted
OTTAWA -- It's not entirely clear how one might go about committing sociology, but the prime minister of Canada apparently thinks doing so is a bad thing, at least when it comes to trying to figure out what motivates terrorists to kill.
"I think, though, this is not a time to commit sociology," Stephen Harper said Thursday in the wake of the Boston bombings and the arrests of two men in Canada accused of plotting to blow up a Via Rail train.
However, until Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau suggested looking at the "root causes" behind those who committed the Boston bombings, the Harper government was all for doing just that.
It started April 22, when, less than two hours after the explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, Trudeau was asked by CBC anchor Peter Mansbridge what he would do if he were prime minister when such an attack occurred.
"First thing, you offer support and sympathy, condolences and send down EMTs as we contributed after 9/11," Trudeau said. "Is there any material, immediate support we can offer? At the same time, over the coming days, we have to look at the root causes. Now, we don't know now if it was terrorism or a single crazy or a domestic issue or a foreign issue. But there is no question that this happened because there is someone who feels completely excluded, completely at war with innocents, at war with a society. And our approach has to be, where do those tensions come from?"
The remark had Conservatives practically drooling with excitement. It played perfectly into the portrait Conservatives want to paint of him: that Trudeau is in over his head. "When you see this type of violent act, you do not sit around trying to rationalize it or make excuses for it or figure out its root causes," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in response.
"You condemn it categorically, and to the extent you can deal with the perpetrators, you deal with them as harshly as possible."
Last Monday, terror came to Canada when the RCMP announced they had arrested two men in Toronto and Montreal in connection with a foiled plot to blow up a Via Rail train.
It kept the idea of root causes versus enforcement on top of the agenda.
On Thursday, Harper made his comment about committing sociology, saying the only view he wants to convey is "utter condemnation of this kind of violence, contemplation of this violence and our utter determination through our laws and through our activities to do everything we can to prevent and counter it."
It's the latter part of that statement where the Conservative logic against root causes fails. Because until Trudeau rather awkwardly tried to talk about root causes, the government was actually quite happy to talk about that very thing.
In June 2011, it launched a $10-million, five-year program, the Kanishka Project, mainly to fund research into the root causes of terrorism.
"Today, I encourage scholars from all disciplines to consider how we can better understand the phenomenon of terrorism, so that ultimately we can more effectively prevent it," Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said when announcing the first grants.
"Preventing future acts of terrorism is the most fitting memorial to its victims."
In July 2011, the day Anders Behring Breivik went on a rampage in Norway, killing 77 people and injuring more than 300, Defence Minister Peter MacKay even used the same term Trudeau used, saying, "We have to demonstrate and persevere and work together to try to find the root causes but also try to pre-empt and interrupt these types of attacks."
Trudeau's biggest mistake probably was commenting at all on a situation that was still unfolding and before he had time to reflect on what he wanted to say.
He hasn't yet mastered the art of the talking point and handed his political foes material that will be used against him many times before the next election.

Not sure how the two incidents are even comparable. The one was a perfectly legal goal. It was a shot on target which deflected off the opposition. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. The other incident was a refereeing mistake and as a result, we've lost points because of it. Sorry but that's not luck evening out.
Oh I don't know, maybe the massive deflection on your goal?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We are so fortunate to have found ISLA for our child. The staff are dedicated and committed to enriching our children's lives. The IB program helps instill the values we want to see him take with him in life. The Spanish immersion is superior to many other immersion programs, because our specialists (art, phy ed, music) and even our extra-curriculars are all in the target language. We also especially enjoy that the school brings Amity interns to live in host families and help in classrooms. They enrich our community with their unique culture and accents.
Isla is an awesome community. I love the small class sizes and the teachers are amazing. I highly recommend ISLA, it gives my students another first language not a second one.
ISLA is a fantastic school. Great teachers and curriculum! Very impressed with entire experience, they deliver on their promises. Children flourish here from Spanish to Math to personal accountability. Highly recommended.
As a substitute teacher I have seen many classrooms and many students. I have consistently been impressed by the organization, knowledge and caring within this school. Classes are capped at 25 students, two classes of each grade level. This small school size makes it possible for every staff member to know every student as an individual and know if they are struggling, I am also extremely impressed with the IB program. There are getting to be more and more schools gaining the label of 'International Baccalaureate' but not all school are able to implement it as well as ISLA,
ISLA is an amazing IB Spanish Immersion school! It has taught my daughter to be a world thinker and understand her role in the world. ISLA has challenged her academically and enriched her life through a top notch music program. I am thrilled at the person my daughter is growing into and I believe that it is due in part to the amazing teachers and the learning environment at ISLA!
IB and Spanish Immersions - What more could you want! An excellent school and staff.
As an employee and parent in the school I can't think of a better place to work and have my children. ISLA is a wonderful school. Having twenty years of experience I have seen and worked in all kinds of schools. At ISLA teachers and staff are extremely dedicated. ISLA is a small independent public school. I attended a private IB World School and I believe that children at ISLA receive a private school education for free. Instilling in youth the concept of being global citizens of the world is a part of our mission. We believe in knowing children individually and providing the education that each one of them needs. The school community is welcoming and understands that it takes collaboration from everybody for a successful experience. We all work together to raise amazing children. Visit us online or come for a tour, you will love the school community!
ISLA has been an amazing school for our daughter. We love the small community (around 250 total families) and small class sizes. In addition to the amazing Spanish education that our daughter is receiving, we have been thrilled with the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. We knew nothing about IB before beginning and we have been blown away by the character development that happens alongside learning because of IB. The administration at ISLA is very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely dedicated to the children. Because of the small community, each child is able to receive much individual attention, which is also a plus. We could say so much about ISLA. It is fabulous.
I am very satisfied w/the education my daughter is receiving at this school. We've had mostly positive experiences although I wish our teacher gave more challenging homework...as it only takes her seconds to complete. Most of her teachers have been really good.
I am a parent and had my children there for several years. I finally decided to transfer when bullying in the classroom and on the playground couldn't be successfully controlled. Teachers were frequently excessively excessively harsh in speaking to the children an poor behavioral role models. When speaking with the vice principal she felt it was okay for the kids to be afraid of her. After several years I realized this was not the school for us.
We have a 5th grader at ISLA and have been very happy with the programming, the staff and the administration. It's an all day Spanish Immersion, compared to the half-day immersion offered at nearby schools, which was important to us.
Combining the Primary Years Programme (IB program for elementary school) with Spanish Immersion, this school opens up the world for the students. My son is entering his 3rd year here, and this school is fantastic. Since it has focused on IB and Spanish Immersion from the beginning, the teachers and staff are dedicated to both. Plus, it will remain a small school - capping classes at 25, and offering just 2 sections per grade.

goodbye October . . .goodbye to the last camping trip of the season, goodbye to leaves and open windows, goodbye soccer, and goodbye to one more month of Missouri skies in my sky scarf. If this poem is accurate for November I might be going through a good amount of grey. Today is still pretty brillantly blue. A part of me has been doubtful if I will have enough blue to finish out that last two months!
Time to settle into cooler days with after school tea and plenty of stories to keep us connected with our ancestors and were we came from. Tea with the dead seems a little macabre of a title so maybe we will just call it family teas, but this is the time of the year when tradition and family keep our souls warm during the winter holiday months. And a healthy does of crafting including some hats for the boys if my needles can work their magic fast enough!
Hope your Hallow's Eve and Day of the Dead weekends were full of mystery and lots of family time!

Last night was pumpkin carving time. I have enjoyed the book Little Boo for pumpkin season this year- pretty sweet little story about a pumpkin seed that wants to be scary and he gets his chance. Silas was inspired by Little Boo when he carved his little pumpkin.
This afternoon we will roast up the seeds this afternoon and get ready for a chilly trick or treat night. If you are looking for a sweet read today you should check out Little Boo and the activity kit to share with your kiddos as well.

I have fallen in-love with Homer and did not even know it. Homer Laughlin that is. I by chance picked up these two "oven serve" vintage pieces a while back. One is a pie pan and one is a casserole dish. I did not recognize the marking on the bottom. I just liked the simple style of these. They seemed to be from the 30's and they were both around a dollar.
It was not until I came across these sweet little small dishes at the thrift store this week that were labeled as "homer laughlin" that I did some research and found that it is the same pottery maker as Fiesta Ware- now it all makes sense. I am smitten with this little simple cream and green flower line. Drives my hubby crazy, but there is just something from the 30's farm pottery and dishes that I adore and kept bringing pieces home and trying to shove into a little spare inch in our small kitchen.
Goodness though, couldn't you just picture some little homemade chicken pot pie in these little cuties? Time to do some recipe searching!

Sometimes it is just kept at home! We were not able to go to one of our favorite music festivals Walnut Valley- Pickers Paradise, this fall so we did it up DIY style and had our own Little Walnut Valley fest with our friends and it became the Knit Pickers Paradise. We are still hoping to make it there in the future, but till then this was a nice substitute.
I have to give kuddos mostly to my husband that created the stages, set up lights, arranged for beer, food and just had a general wonderful passion for the whole "little" fest.
Here are more pictures but one thing that I have gotten for myself each year is a patch for our family camp flag. If we were going to make our own fest then I needed to come up with patches to boot.
A quick guide for you involved:
1- finding the perfect graphic- I happened to come across the perfect graphic at Shutterstock
2- add verbage in simple iPiccy edits
3- color set and cut the squares
4- sew onto felt squares
5- trim and enjoy!

It is that time of the year where we choose to honor our dragon energy for "dragonmas" (Michaelmas) at the end of September. We set up our baby knit dragon that slowly hatches throughout the day, read dragon stories, contemplate the changing season, make bread and share how our inside "dragons are doing this year around the dinner table.
It is tradition that has held pretty stable since the boys were little. This year Silas drew a pretty amazing crystal dragon. The crystals fall off the dragon's head and become unicorns. He is into unicorns in a pretty big way these days and they seem to be creeping into all parts of his creative energy.
So cheers to another changing of the season with the hopes that our dragons will stoke enough fire to keep up warm and energy flowing till next summer!

My oldest fella entered the official teenage world in September. He has been waiting a long time for this crowing moment! I found myself to be pretty calm, not so teary eyed and really was able to just sit back and enjoy watching and being with him.
I am a bit of a recovering over the top thematic birthday party mama starting from when the boys were babies. As they have gotten older I have found that I still need to operate within some sort of theme but not get so overwhelmed by it.
As I was thinking of what kind of wood birthday candle holder my 13 year old was to have on his cake I sat back and thought about this person he is growing into. He is my trumpet player, my book lover, my creative builder, by soccer player, my science lover. So it was a simple combination of OMG and the periodic table of elements that I had seen some funny images of online. I tweaked the numbers a bit to match his age and birthday. I don't think he was nearly as tickled as I was.
Otherwise we enjoyed taking him and his buds to play laser tag and then a quick trip to ride roller coasters the next day.
OMG he may be a teenager but he still likes his birthday traditions that we do. The boys wake up to a golden dollar path leading to a simple little candle to blow out and song from us first thing in the morning. And he did not mind the extra kisses and photos mom wanted to do on his birthday either.
Teenager, yep I think I can get use to this!

I am pretty sure I blinked and September was gone. It has been some running days with a kiddo officially becoming a teenager, hosting our own little bluegrass fest, a large art installation project for a big music festival in our town, soccer, and a big meeting and banquet planning for my job. In a nutshell; September kept us on our toes.
But we were still able to work in family time on the deck, exlporing the woods, and welcoming in Fall. I hope to share the highlights with you as I am catching my breath now and loading up pictures from the past couple of weeks.
It does bug the dickens out of me that I was not able to blog most of the month, I hope you will stick with me- the sleep monster overtook me most nights!
Hope your Sept. has been full and lovely as well.

From the Publisher'This course ths is a very welcome addition to a gap which generally has previously been filled by publishing best-selling coursebooks in sections which might be more palatable and motivating on a short course ... I can thoroughly recommend Activate Your English to any teacher or course director looking for a book for adult intensive courses. In a refreshing format, it: practises grammar, vocabulary and elements of pronunciation in a highly communicative way; exposes students to varieties of accent; systematically develops learner strategies and sensitises them to cultural differences. This course leaves teachers and students with a sense of achievement and time well spent. I shall certainly be using it on future courses as it is the only book I have used where there has not been a single complaint from either student or teachers.' The Modern English Teacher, 1997
'Motivating intermediate learners and helping them feel a real sense of progress is notoriously difficult. This course would certainly seem to go some way towards achieving these aims.' The Journal, 1997
'This offers the broadest and most comprehensive learner training of the coursebooks analysed ... learner training is maintained consistently throughout.' ELT Journal, 1997
'Activate Your English deserves success. It makes a definitive attempt to promote learner independence; it is certainly at the correct level for false beginners; and it adopts an adult approach. As a book for adults and about adults, it is likely to catch your student's attention.' ELT News
'The book is very strong on learner training: it treats the "students" as intelligent learners who have every right to know the aims of the activites they are asked to do ... The main strength of this book is the abundance of speaking activites based around the topics of the units. They provide the opportunity for a range of pair and group interactions that should do a lot to help improve the communicative abilities of most learners ... It certainly makes a real effort to address the needs of adults, particularly in the way it encourages the learners to play a proactive and self-aware role in the learning process.' IATEFL Newsletter, 1996

Mark Alan Webb, 49, was taken from us Sept. 3, 2012 near Roy, in a truck rollover accident.
Mark was born to Richard and Fay Webb June 24, 1963 and was raised in the Vancouver area, where he also met and married his wife, Beryl in 1996. After a few trips to the Colville Valley to visit BerylŌĆÖs family in Chewelah, they decided to move here. He settled with his wife and family on a little mini-ranch at Arden.
Raymond Charles Mattison finished a long and useful life on August 7, 2012. He passed peacefully in the home he built, while surrounded by his family.
Ray was born on Sept. 8, 1932 in Gerome to Melvin and Freda Mattison. He graduated from Columbia High School (Hunters) in 1951, then joined the U.S. Navy in 1952. He was stationed in Hawaii and was honorably discharged in 1956.
In 1959 he settled down in Alderwood Manor, used his master carpenter skills to build his own home, and started a family.
Funeral services for Gerald ŌĆ£JerryŌĆØ Stevens, age 71, of Thatcher, was conducted Sept. 8 at the Church Street LDS Chapel, with Bishop David Udall officiating. Interment followed in the Thatcher Cemetery.
ŌĆ£The FlyinŌĆÖ HawaiianŌĆØ, Mr. John Bremner ŌĆ£J.B.ŌĆØ Morrison, passed away on August 28, 2012 in Seattle at the age of 61. John was born on Feb. 24, 1951 in Honolulu, Hawaii, the son of John Aina and Priscilla Keakealani (Mahoe) Morrison.
He was raised in the Valley of Nuuanu and attended the Kamehameha School, from which J.B. was a proud alumni. At the age of 13, J.B. moved to Long Beach, CA where he resided with his father and completed his high school education in 1969.
Helen Marie Behrens, a longtime resident of the Kelly Hill area near Barstow, passed away in Spokane at the age of 85. Helen was born on April 25, 1927 in Marcus, the daughter of Elbert Glen and Julia Margaret (Anderson) Delp.
Virginia L. Cruger, 88, passed away August 25, 2012 in Colville.
This is what she would have wanted her family and friends to know about her: ŌĆ£I was born Dec. 13, 1923 in Spokane. My father came to the United States from Belfast, Ireland as a child. In 1919 he married my mother, Helen Virginia Craig.
I attended Grant Grade School and Lewis and Clark High School. After graduation, I worked for John W. Graham Company.
Indians dominate Lakeland Invite
Colville HighŌĆÖs defending 1A volleyball champions dominated last SaturdayŌĆÖs high-powered Lakeland Invitational (Rathdrum, Idaho) volleyball tournament. It was ColvilleŌĆÖs second straight Lakeland Invitational title.
Cougars get an
elusive win over Indians
The Chewelah Cougars played the Colville Indians last Friday in the annual 395 showdown in Colville. The Cougars broke a recent string of losses to the Indians on this evening, coming away with an impressive 45-21 victory.
Turnovers in an opening game loss to Deer Park were costly to the Cougars, but on this night, Chewelah kept ahold of the ball and turned three Colville turnovers into key scoring drives.
Though recent strong winds havenŌĆÖt been much to brag about in terms of breaking any records, that hasnŌĆÖt stopped the weather from posing a threat to local homeowners and fire districts.
Smoke from lightning-sparked fires in areas of Central and Eastern Washington shrouded the skies over the Colville Valley last Sunday evening and Monday morning, causing some residents to experience discomfort from smoke inhalation.
ŌĆ£It sucks, the whole being able to breathe thing,ŌĆØ says Thomas Howard, 24. ŌĆ£I had to close all the windows in my apartment (Sunday night).ŌĆØ
Indians move up to GNL
S-E Sports Editor
Colville High lost some key components off last NovemberŌĆÖs Class 1A state runner-up team, but the Indians certainly have enough left in the tank to make for an interesting reintroduction into the Class 2A Great Northern League.
The Indians will be led by third year varsity standout Kevin Carpenter. The junior finished eighth and got a spot on the podium at last NovemberŌĆÖs State 1A meet at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.

- 1 pound white chocolate
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 pound dark chocolate
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 cup crushed rice krispies

Melt white chocolate, add peanut butter. Mix thouroughly. Melt dark chocolate. Add any or all of the coconut, rice krispies or nuts. Pour dark chocolate mixture into the white chocolate mixture. Stir only 1 or 2 times. Don't mix completely or you won't get the tiger stripe effect. Pour into a greased 11" x 15" pan. Cool and cut into pieces. The more things you put into the dark chocolate the easier it is to cut. Use a good quality chocolate, not Almond Bark.
