A New Sense of Optimism October 23, 2014
Posted by Cindy Squires
In today's virtually instantaneous news cycle each day seemingly brings the release of a new economic indicator. One day the new GDP numbers signal strong growth, and the next day job growth numbers give new reason for worry. I am convinced that not even the PhDs can make sense of it all. But after spending the last several weeks meeting with IWPA members on the tradeshow floor at the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) in Atlanta and visiting member companies during a swing across North Carolina, I am getting a sense of renewed optimism across the imported wood industry.

Efficiency as Strategy July 13, 2014
Posted By Cindy Squires
It is cheaper and often faster to share. If we recognize this we can open up enormous opportunities for our businesses. A recent bog post by Seth Godin got me thinking about how IWPA works to help its members share resources. Seth Godin is a bestselling author who writes about marketing, the spread of ideas and managing customers and employees. Seth noted, "since we can share resources, expanding to use all of something (a car, a boat, a vacation home) isn't just inefficient, it's wasteful." Read more
Wood - The Ultimate Green Good May 13, 2014
Posted By Cindy Squires
A new round of negotiations has been launched by 14 World Trade Organization member countries to accelerate the trade of environmentally preferable technologies. This effort builds on the 2013 initiative started by the Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to explore opportunities in the WTO to reduce tariffs on a list of 54 "green goods" by the end of 2015. This sounds like a great plan until you look deeper and find wood products were not included in the APEC agreed list of environmental goods where member countries will cut tariffs to five percent or less.

Peter J. Nelson is the night-side assignment editor at WCCO-TV. He started interning at the assignment desk in 2005, got a part-time desk gig later that year and was hired full-time in 2006.
When he's not listening to police scanners, chatting with tipsters or directing news crews, he's watching and talking about the Minnesota Twins.
Peter began contributing to the WCCO.COM's Twinsblog during the 2007 season. He won an Upper Midwest Regional Emmy for his editing work on the blog's videos in 2009.
Twins Blog: All The Summer Stars Fade
A forgettable season ends in an unforgettable way. Gardenhire will be missed.
Twins Blog: Days of All-Star Game Past
Before I headed out to watch the All-Star Futures Game this afternoon, I wanted to take a glimpse into the past…
Twins Blog: Home Opener
Some folks, especially those from out of state, do not understand how Minnesota can go from a winter storm warning to a beautiful baseball opener in a matter of days. And as we sit and […]
Twins Blog: TwinsFest 2014
With the old digs coming down, Twinsfest needed to make the move this year to their cozy confines on the other side of downtown. The crowds were limited each day, allowing fans to go places inside Target Field where most fans have never gone before.
Twins Blog: Mo Honored At Target Field
The Twins gave the greatest closer of all-time perhaps the greatest retirement gift of all time on Tuesday.
Twins Blog: The Kyle Gibson Show – Video
Unless you were deep in the forest or floating in the middle of a lake you probably heard that Kyle Gibson won his major league debut on Saturday.
Twins Blog: Twins Bloggin' 2013
In an effort to make every single baseball game matter in my life, I joined three fantasy baseball leagues this season. My allegiance will and always will remain with the Minnesota Twins but sometimes the Twins aren't playing and other teams are. Being a Fantasy Baseball Manager is my favorite, least paying part-time job ever.
Twins Blog: A Fan Gets Too Warm At Home Opener
The only thing I wanted to talk about last week were the Twins chances against Verlander if they knocked him out early in the game.
Twins Blog: 2013 Tryouts
It might not seem like it, but the Twins are better now than last season. They will end up with three or four more wins. Baby steps. If my calculations are correct they will be contending for the division title in seven to eight years … give or take six years. Remember the 1992-2001 dry spell?
Twins Blog: Worth Waiting
One of the worst kept sports secrets in town is likely to be revealed Wednesday at 4 p.m. The Twins officially announced Tuesday they are having the news conference tomorrow to make a "major announcement."
Twins Blog: Deflecting Attention
Francisco Liriano was traded to the White Sox. Let's hope Denard Span doesn't go to Cleveland or KC. All signs point that he won't but who knew Delmon Young would be a Tiger?
Twins Blog: Throwin' Back
No, you weren't having a heat stroke. The Twins were the Minneapolis Millers on Saturday night.
Twins Blog: Trade Winds
Kevin Youkilis was in town today to play the Twins. He's batting second and wearing a new pair of Sox. The Youkilis trade is likely to be the first of many before the trade deadline on July 31st at 5pm (CST).
Twins Blog: Draft Day
Someone asked the question tonight, "why do we care about the draft?" That came after I sent out the Twins press release as "breaking news" about the Twins taking outfielder Byron Buxton as the 2nd pick in the MLB draft Monday night.
Twins Blog: TC's New Ride
There was no finer pre-game sight than a bear zooming around on a four-wheeler on the floor of the Metrodome. But TC needed something that was as environmentally conscience as Target Field yet still fun to ride.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Aokigahara (青木ヶ原?), also known as the Suicide Forest or Sea of Trees (樹海 Jukai?), is a 35-square-kilometre (14 sq mi) forest that lies at the northwest base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The forest contains a number of rocky, icy caverns, a few of which are popular tourist destinations. Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees and an absence of nearly all wildlife, the forest is known for being exceptionally quiet.[1]
The forest has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology and is a popular place for suicides (57 in 2010)[2] despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to reconsider their actions.[3]
The forest floor consists primarily of volcanic rock and is difficult to penetrate with hand tools such as picks or shovels. There is also a variety of unofficial trails that are used semi-regularly for the annual "body hunt" done by local volunteers. In recent years, hikers and tourists trekking through Aokigahara have begun to use plastic tape to mark their paths so as to avoid getting lost.[4] Though officials try to remove the tape time and time again, tourists and thrill-seekers inevitably leave more and more litter, and a great deal of it lies scattered throughout the first kilometer of the forest, past the designated trails leading to tourist attractions such as the Ice Cave and Wind Cave. After the first kilometer into Aokigahara towards Mount Fuji, the forest is in a more "pristine" condition, with little to no litter and few obvious signs of human presence.[citation needed]
The forest is a popular place for suicides, reportedly the most popular in Japan. Statistics vary, but what is documented is that during the period leading up to 1988, about 100 suicides occurred there every year.[5]
In 2003, 105 bodies were found in the forest, exceeding the previous record of 78 in 2002.[6] In recent years, the local government has stopped publicizing the numbers in an attempt to downplay Aokigahara's association with suicide.[7] In 2004, 108 people killed themselves in the forest. In 2010, 247 people attempted suicide in the forest, 54 of whom completed the act.[2] Suicides are said to increase during March, the end of the fiscal year in Japan.[8] As of 2011, the most common means of suicide in the forest were hanging and drug overdoses.[9]
The high rate of suicide has led officials to place signs in the forest, in Japanese and English, urging suicidal visitors to seek help and not kill themselves. Annual body searches have been conducted by police, volunteers, and attendant journalists since 1970.[10][11][12]
The site's popularity has been attributed to the 1960 novel Kuroi Jukai (Black Sea of Trees) by Seichō Matsumoto.[13] However, the history of suicide in Aokigahara predates the novel's publication, and the place has long been associated with death: ubasute may have been practiced there into the nineteenth century, and the forest is reputedly haunted by the Yūrei (angry spirits) of those left to die.[7]

The New K Crunch: KpopCharts Update
Hi everyone!
Now, as some of you may know if you Like us on Facebook, we're changing up the K Crunch. We started the K Crunch because we wanted to talk about different things that we don't get the chance to mention during our Music Mondays, so we started it off as a monthly recap. Unfortunately, though, different things get in the way, like Vacations to Canada and Year End How to Dance Kpop Videos.
Also, once a month isn't enough to talk about all that comes out. Many videos come out every week, and some, like Teen Top's "Crazy", are really popular, but don't make it through for a Music Monday. That sucks!
So, here's the deal: we're taking our K Crunch, and making it into three weekly segments. Saturdays we'll talk about what's new on the KpopCharts and give you a chance to vote for them. Sundays we'll talk about Korean indie music which we almost NEVER have a chance to talk about, but want to talk about, because there's a lot of awesome Korean Indie music out there. And lastly, on Monday, before Kpop Music Monday, we'll talk about a random hodgepodge of songs. Some old, some new, some whatever!
Also, we'll be making these videos into playlists. So we'll talk about the video and introduce it, then it'll run, and then our next speaking part will automatically run, so on and so forth. Think of it as us being VJs, kinda. Yes, we wanted to be VJs growing up. Don't make fun of us! So sit back if you've got half an hour to spare, and watch some Korean Music videos and us blathering about them :D
Lastly, yes, some of you might be wondering why we're not talking about K Dramas anymore. The answer's simple: we don't have time to watch them. Ha! We're so busy doing other things and starting other projects that we don't really watch many Kdramas anymore. And by we I mean Martina. I never watched them to begin with. GROSS! Martina will sneak in an episode or two of something, but not enough to be able to talk about the show to any great depth.
Let us know what you think!
Filed Under:
Kpop Charts Update-
Well, it's kind of late to say this, but when Martina said Miryo's Dirty wasn't something you'd want to watch with a younger sibling, my sister was standing right behind me…
Awkward… -
MTV started showing music again!
I don't watch TV haha…xD i can spend hours watching your videos..! New fan here :)
Wow, so many videos. So let me see if I got this understood.
Mondays is "K-Crunch cocktail" and "K-pop Mondays", Wednesdays is "W.A.N.K.", Saturdays is "K-Crunch Update" and Sundays is "K-Crunch Indie". And once every two weeks is "TL;DR" video.
Is all of this right? -
I seriously think one of the EXO boys sounds exactly like Yunho. I keep checking the video to make sure…
SO… FT Island – Severly TOTALLY reminds me of JYJ – In Heaven.
Nah, more like JYJ's In Heaven reminds us of FT ISLANDS 'Because I didn't Know how to love.'
I get you Simon, I've been the same with what is love, minus spudgy.
woow i never heard korean idols singing so beautiful like EXO.. the video though is kinda boring.. except the short dancing part.. ^^ and i totally loved your music monday vid. simon & martina (& spugdy) U ROCK !!!! :D
I totally going to vote for EXO just because of the fart joke. I love fart jokes.
I saw Miryo's DIRTY MV on Saturday and laughed when she flipped the camera off!
love Love LOVE what you are planning on doing with K-Crunch! You guys are awesome! Keep up the awesome work! Fighting!
excuse me.. can i suggest a Big Bang tribute special edition 30 minute spazz session double feature video for when they come back! i think it would be a great idea.. just saying
Ok. Hold up now. if you havent seen Lady Gaga's latest music video for her song Marry the Night. Her intro is really similar minus all the talking. The two videos are VERY DIFFERENT of course but it was just the first thing I saw so I was kind of like woah Deja vu.
I'm wondering if Miryo is like parodying American pop stars cause yeah the Marry the Night similarity and also some people have been talking about how she kinda sounds like Nicki Minaj when she's rapping in that song.
You guys are amazing! Other videos finally have a chance! Btw, I hope you do a quick review on Clover's La Vida Loca :D
=O LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVEEEE dis new concept
it would b nice .3. if u could update us on k-pop news and gossip ( like allkpop.com does only in video form ) -
honki ish an actor XD!
he debuted 1st as a acter -
Thank godd finally some indie korean music! lol
Amazing ! im looking Forward to your videos! also… martina would you please post a video of how u did ur curly hair with cloth straps? please… aaa i asked for miryo's mv THANK YOU!
Finally some Indie/Alternative Korean Music!
I'm so thankful!
Exo!!!!!!! i want EXO! Loved it! It reminds me a lot of TVXQs Before you go, the song is nice and slow…:D
Aw no more drama reviews! >< Still I have a recommendation for Martina: Shut up Flower Boy Band! There's only two episodes so far but… I'm soo hooked, there is one character who is (my opinion) out of the ordinary. The feel of the drama is overall different, at least the beginning, we'll see how it goes later. TvN has done one of my favorite dramas, I need romance, which I think is different from the other romcom you see all the time. Also it made me cry in the first episodes which is unsual for me, I don't even cry when I watch Titanic which is supposed to be a real teary thing^^
I am SO SO glad you guys did this! thank you so much!
I really wanted you guys to do more K-crunch.. but I thought you work hard enough already so I didn't dare ask haha xDalso.. can you also make a section in K-crunch for dramas? you don't have to watch it all and review but maybe just tell us about them? I'm sure we're missing out on some awesome dramas that we've never heard of!
So…does the poll in facebook counts at all? :O
i like the old one better… cuz martina talked abt the kdramas to.
so I was really hopping you guys could do Crispy Crunch Thumbs Up the uncut version just because I feel that EVERYONE would enjoy it. But …yea. Its on the K-pop charts but I put it there like centuries ago and it has never gotten too far *sniff*
does anyone else feel like the nurse in Dirty looks slightly like Park Bom? I think its the cheeks…
Please review G.N.O. by Wonder Girls
REALLY REALLY REALLY liking this session and learning about different Korean generes!!!! And Miryo's Dirty, super … :/
are you guys very popular in korea or are you popular in the town or are you just plain popular?
at school?
do your students know that you hav a website and how many
half of class, whole school, or dont care -
awesome! you guys have to be two of the hardest working vloggers out there. seriously, in the year i've been following you guys, your awesomeness has increased RAPIDLY. great job!
YE. but i want mustache man back :c
Dirty's beginning scene is very Lady Gaga Marry the Night-esque.
Wow you guys are working so hard & coming up with creative videos…THNAK YOU for your hard work! <3 Please take care of yourselves
I like this a lot. This is great! :D
I hope it doesn't become to busy for you guys though, sounds like a lot of scripting to do. >.<
Can't wait for the indie segment!
Love the new videos xD -
I think this idea is completely brilliant, and I'm super excited about the indie music too. P.S. My one year old nephew is an eatyourkimchi fan. He always crawls into my lap and watches the computer when I turn on one of your vids <3

Concierge.com's insider take:
After Heinz Gindullis established himself with the now-you-see-it, now-you-don't nightclub Cookies, which opens, closes and moves shop with maddening speed, he opened the upscale Greenwich Bar. Now a classic on the cocktail circuit, it's a favorite of young celebrities. There's a green backlit bar, illuminated fish tanks, and lime-colored leather banquets. There's no name on the door and the telephone number is unpublished, but by now Greenwich is no big secret.

Year In Review: The Top 11 Trends, Topics, and Debates of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Usually I'm quite cynical about end-of-year lists, as they demand a forced encapsulation of an arbitrary block of time that is not yet over into something simplified. I typically find end-of-year lists fun, but rarely useful. But 2011 is different. As Scott Tobias pointed out, while "quiet," this was a surprisingly strong year for interesting and risk-taking films. What's most interesting has been the variety: barely anything has emerged as a leading contender that tops either critics' lists or dominates awards buzz. Quite honestly, at the end of 2010 I struggled to find compelling topics, trends, and events to define the year in cinema. The final days of 2011 brought a quite opposite struggle, for this year's surprising glut of interesting and disparate films spoke to one another in a way that makes it difficult to isolate any of the year's significant works. Arguments in the critical community actually led to insightful points as they addressed essential questions of what it means to be a filmgoer and a cinephile. Mainstream Hollywood machine-work and limited release arthouse fare defied expectations in several directions. New stars arose. Tired Hollywood rituals and ostensibly reliable technologies both met new breaking points. "2011" hangs over this year in cinema, and the interaction between the films – and the events and conversations that surrounded them – makes this year's offerings particular to their time and subject to their context. This is what I took away from this surprising year:
Did 'Atlas Shrugged' Really Fail and Should Producer John Aglialoro Blame Critics?
Features By Scott Beggs on April 27, 2011 | Comments (9)Early yesterday, the LA Times blog released quotes from Atlas Shrugged Part 1 writer/producer John Aglialoro which indicated that he was throwing in the towel on making Part 2 and Part 3. The reason, of course, was that the film just didn't make its money back. Aglialoro spent a reported $10m of his own cash on the production, and a second week drop off hurt the independent flick considerably. The movie has currently only made $3.2m at the box office. It started with an impressive per screen average, but as with other films which zero in on an audience, everyone who wanted to see the movie saw it opening weekend. The numbers dropped, and an expansion was scrapped. Aglialoro very specifically blames critics and what he believes is a collective "fear of Ayn Rand" amongst them for the movie's failings. So much for personal responsibility. However, it's his ire and hatred of the critical response that has caused an about-face. Aglialoro now claims that, while he was once defeated, he now stands ready to proceed with making Atlas Shrugged Part 2 and Part 3. Like all misunderstood artists, he should.

Boasting a 1.5-acre fenced-in yard and 11 boarding suites, The Dog House keeps pets comfortable and safe during daycare and boarding sessions. The attentive staff separates dogs by size for supervised daytime play sessions and also offers bathing and training services.
Affordable Pet Hospital is a full service veterinary clinic in the New Tampa area. We now offer a new program called "Free vaccines for life", along with annual exams, vaccinations, dental cleaning, spay and neuter surgeries and boarding all in one convenient place and all at affordable prices. Affordable Pet Hospital also provides emergency and critical care, hospice and euthanasia, pain management, and surgery services. Click here for a complete list. Our friendly and professional staff are ready to take your call today, or stop by and take a tour of our new facility
The canine caretakers at Lucky Dog Daycare & Resort of South Tampa act as dog-sitting concierges during a pup's private or social boarding. During private stays, shy, aggressive, or hypoallergenic pets pair with a kennel counselor for individual playtime, four to six walks a day, and free use of the outdoor romping grounds. Pets can carouse with packs of friendly canines during a social stay, frolicking with like-sized pals in the grassy play area, relaxing in the expansive Astroturf sunning spots, or swan-diving into the heat-beating water park complete with pools and mist sprayers. The air-conditioned interior offers a weather-friendly alternative to the outdoors, with a team of dog enthusiasts constantly supervising the pet playtime. Owners can virtually check-in with best friends over the live feed that streams across the Internet from 16 cameras on constant alert. Lucky Dog's boarding aficionados hire sheep barbershop quartets to softly bleat lullabies, ensuring all pups snooze comfortably, either in a single room for the private stay or in a softly snoring dog pile.
The fur-friendly staff at Four Paws Only lavishes animal companions with lovingly attentive grooming services using high-quality products. Bring in your Jack Russell terrier or your chihuahua ($35 each) for its diminutive preening session, readying it for family portraits or the all-canine junior prom. Bernese mountain pooches in need of gussying up after days spent leading rugged hikes can procure a large-dog grooming ($60), as can Irish setters ($45+) and bearded collies ($50+) looking for a clean shave.
Before she opened Nature's Pet Grooming, Lisa Jordan traveled across the United States to hone her skills. In Charleston, she apprenticed show groomers; in Oahu, she worked as a mobile groomer; in D.C., she groomed top dog politicians. Finally, she officially became a master in the field at the Paragon School of Pet Grooming
and settled down in Florida.
As the owner of Nature's Pet Grooming, she's fostered strong relationships with her canine customers. Her deluxe baths cater to a dog's natural anxiety about grooming with a relaxing hydromassage shampoo delivery, cozy towel wrap, and gentle ear cleanings. Extras such as massage, lavender aromatherapy, and citrus rinses make pooches feel extra special on their birthdays or graduation from space camp.
Krystle Lee grew up riding horses, and when she got to college at William Woods University, her love of equines only deepened—so much so that she wound up graduating with a degree in Equestrian Science. Now a member of the American Riding Instructors Association, she also runs Suncoast Stables, a barn specializing in show training for American Saddlebreds, Hackneys, and Roadsters.
Open to students ages 4 and up, Krystle's riding lessons unlock the fundamentals of styles including English horseback riding and driving, which mostly involves riding a horse while spinning an imaginary steering wheel. Her summer camps cover similar basics, making each lesson more memorable with an added infusion of arts and crafts. No matter the season, the barn's spacious boarding quarters house four-legged residents that enjoy two feedings per day, automatic waters, and a daily turnout.

Local chefs go head-to-head at Saturday's Grape Escape festival
Looking for another reason to attend Saturday's Grape Escape food-and-wine tasting festival at Cesar Chavez Park?
How about a chance to watch Sacramento's version of "Chopped."
At the "Farm-to-Fork Chef's Challenge" Hook & Ladder's Brian Mizner, Lucca's Ian MacBride, Dawson's Steakhouse's Jason Poole and Renwood Winery's Carolyn Kumpe will compete to create the best appetizer and entree.
The event will feature four identical kitchens. Each chef will be equipped with a kitchen, fridge, table, stove-top range and pantry of ingredients. All ingredients in the pantry are fair game, and to spice up the competition, cooks will be required to use "mystery ingredients."
The judges – Jaqueline Pecor ( Bake It with Booze blogger), Nicole Rogers (Farm-to-Fork project manager) and Garrett McCord ( Vanilla Garlic blogger and cookbook author) – will be ranking the dishes based on plate presentation and composition, creativity, flavor and taste, and their ability to use the ingredients.
The competition runs 4-7 p.m. Winners of the cook-off will be announced at 6:45 p.m.
Grape Escape is a daylong tour of more than 60 wineries and 40 restaurants in the region. Cesar Chavez Park is located at 910 I St., Sacramento. For ticket information, visit grapeescapesacramento.com

Romanesque art
Romanesque art
Sculpture and painting that reached its height in western Europe c. 1075–1125, a fusion of Roman, Carolingian and Ottonian, and Byzantine art with local Germanic traditions. The expansion of monasticism in the 10th–11th centuries revived the art of monumental sculpture after almost 600 years of dormancy. Relief sculpture depicted biblical history and church doctrine on column capitals and around the massive doors of churches. Natural objects were freely transformed into visionary images that derive their power from abstract linear design and expressive distortion. Linear stylization is seen also in the capital letters and marginal decoration of illuminated manuscripts. Romanesque art was concerned with transcendental values, in sharp contrast to the naturalism and humanism of the earlier Classical and later Gothic art traditions. Monumental painting that imitated the sculptural style covered the interior walls of churches. Both sculpture and painting incorporated a broad range of subject matter, including theological works, reflecting the revival of learning. See also Romanesque architecture.

DIY Submarine Made From Pvc: Dive! Dive!
This remotely operated vehicle was created thanks to the brains of Jason Rollette, who's been at it for about five years. This is the second version of his ROV submarine, which is built mostly from PVC tubing.
This kind of reminds me of the movie Abyss for some reason. The ROV submarine uses four 500gph and two 1,250gph bilge pumps. The bigger ones are used for propulsion while the smaller ones are used to dive and surface.
It's got lights and naturally a functioning camera, which lets Jason guide it into the depths. Jason actually designed some non-explosive torpedoes as well. Sweet. Incredibly, all of the parts needed to build this sub are available at any home improvement store.
He's got an meticulously detailed guide on how to create your own. Here's a link to the basic how-to pdf file he created to start off with this build.

Hi, Thanks' for your article, i like the topic very much. Inspire me a lot. Today i want to share my experience about laminate flooring.
Maintain the laminated flooring is easy and simple, you just need this regularly:
1. a clean sweep is usually
2. A little warm water sometimes does the trick
3. When to use the commercial cleaner
4. Do not soak laminate floorsRegards
this year is a major home improvement time for our house. we are going to renovate everything..*'
home improvement should be done at least once a year if you the budget to do so*-"
Your model submarine should improve bath time fun for the kids and for the adults why not improve the look of your bathroom with coloured glass splashbacks for bathrooms

You have to love a chef who weighs every one of his eggs before cooking them, at Taro's Ramen and Cafe he does just that. And they are just one component of his revered ramen. No he is not noodles but those he crafts are the real deal. He makes them daily with a machine and special water both imported from Japan. This is passion folks, and Brisbane is most grateful.

I'm thrilled to unveil Illumination Learning's new home! I've been working on it for months now in the quiet hours of the evening after all of my children were (really) asleep. There were times where I pulled out my books, notes, and laptop only to put them aside for another night because my baby needed mommy to soothe him as his first teeth poked through, my daughter needed a listening ear, one of my sons just needed some snuggles, or my husband wanted to spend some time with his wife after having been away on a business trip. On those nights, I tucked everything away to work on it at a later time. I try so very hard to balance my desire to create in this little nook of the Internet with all that comes with being a mom and a wife.
This project – Illumination Learning – is a piece of my heart. It has become a place where I create and reflect. There were times where I questioned why I was attempting to write a handbook for Orthodox teachers and parents. Who am I to do something like this? I do not have a theological degree. I am only a mom. A mom who grew up in an Orthodox family and now has her own family to pass along this great love she has for God. I prayed continuously during the website remodel. I prayed that this work I was doing would be for the glory of God. I prayed that He would guide me as I researched, as I reflected, and as I typed. Please, if you find a mistake or feel something I have shared could be worded more accurately, send me an email so I can correct it. Everything I have shared on Illumination Learning is drawn from my talks with priests, my own experiences growing up Orthodox, raising my children Orthodox, and the reading I've snuck in while my kids were sleeping. I am only a mom. A mom who stumbles. A mom who is not perfect. But…a mom who tries hard to live each day helping others and striving to grow ever closer to God.
It is my great hope that Illumination Learning will continue to grow and be a beneficial resource to so many. The new website is the beginning of a community of people who are coming together to brainstorm and plan ways to not only educate our children and those seeking to learn more about Orthodoxy…but also ourselves. It is an ongoing project which will be updated and expanded on a regular basis.
I'm looking forward to all of your feedback as you browse through the site.
In Christ,
One Comment
the new site is so beautiful! thank you for the hard work and blessing that this will be on many families — mine included. may god bless you and your work in the future.

Adam Spencer Blurred Primes
Review by Chris Menezies
Blurred Primes is a fascinating show about the quest for Prime numbers. Adam Spencer paints a beautiful picture of growing up with numbers and becoming the maths-lover/public figure he is today. Telling tales of nerddom and rubix cubes Adam pulls together a great hour of learning and laughing,
I never thought id say this about anyone... but Adam Spencer made maths fun. I would recommend bringing your early highschool kids to this one, its genuinely fun for the whole family.

KCBS Cares: The 100KCBS Meals Mission
July 16, 2014
In an effort to help feed the homeless and hungry, our fine friends at The Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), the world's largest organization of barbeque and grilling enthusiasts with over 15,000 members worldwide, has launched the 100KCBS Meals Mission through which the organization with serve 100,000 BBQ meals over the next 12 months.
By working with and mobilizing BBQ lovers throughout its entire network, from volunteers and teams at sanctioned events, KCBS will be working with Feeding America food banks (and other charities) to subsidize and make this mission possible.
From tornado and other natural relief, to helping in the fight against cancer, Grant and Scholarship programs, KCBS seeks to not only celebrate BBQ, but benefit people from all walks of life and make our world a better place to live including this most recent initiative.
How it works:
- Over 400 KCBS sanctioned events in the United States, coast to coast/border to border, are eligible to participate.
- KCBS will be providing Boston pork butts for each participating event to distribute to teams to cook. Every team is encouraged to purchase and prepare extra meat during the competition or donate non-perishable items.
- Event directors will coordinate a handoff to the local Feeding America food bank or other charity, who will then distribute the food through their network
- The program will begin on May 1 in conjunction with National BBQ Month and runs from May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015
- All events are encouraged to sign-up and collect non-perishable items to contribute to the 100KCBS Meals Mission
In total, over 3200 pork butts, or over 25,000 pounds of cooked pork, will be donated by KCBS to create 100,000 meals. To learn more or to get involved, please visit http://www.kcbs.us/100k-meals.php.

What's ironic here is that driving the Quest is as pleasant as can be. It energetically gets up and moves when the light turns green. A four-speed automatic with overdrive is standard on the base and S models, while the SL and the SE are equipped with a five-speed automatic; our experience showed that the Quest's powertrain compares quite favorably with class leaders from Honda and Toyota. Ride quality on the seventeen-inch wheels of the 4209-pound, top-of-the-line is acceptable, and the handling is athletic, with only a modicum of understeer. (Base, S, and SL models come with sixteen-inch wheels.) Standard four-wheel vented disc brakes with antilock complete the running gear.
There are some interior rattles, yet we've found this thrumming to be typical of nearly every minivan, what with their myriad compartments and gewgaws. Ergonomically, the only issue concerns the instrument panel's unconventional placement; otherwise, switches and controls are right at hand, and learning how to use them is a snap. If there's one obvious shortcoming, it lies with the cupholders. Although there are only eight, it's well known from a television comedy ("Eight Is Enough") that this is sufficient. But the driver must rely on one that's integrated into the base of the seat and folds outward like a kind of expandable purse. We would call it baroque, but it actually worked all right; bizarre is more like it. Meanwhile, Chrysler and Honda beat the heck out of Nissan for smart use of center-cabin storage space and utility.
The SE model we drove comes equipped with leather upholstery (ours came in a medium gray that only a consumer focus group could love) and a startlingly good 10-speaker sound system. Among the other accoutrements were DVD-based navigation (a $2000 option); dual-zone automatic climate control (rear heating and A/C are standard in all models); power driver's seat with position memory that also governs the adjustable pedals and outside mirrors; one-touch front windows; a sunroof; and a full-length rear overhead console with lighting, storage bins, and air vents. Whatever electrical or electronic device is carried on board, whatever media is demanded, the Quest will have a conveniently situated jack or port or player for its operation. The so-called SkyView glass roof panel system with sunshades for second and third-row seats is an exclusive offering on the SE (it reminds us of Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser wagons of the 1960s) and would be quite appealing for those passengers who aren't transfixed by their Game Boys.
Like the Odyssey, the Quest has a storage drawer under the front-passenger seat. Second-row folding seats pitch forward for a nearly flat load surface; while still fixed in the upright position, these chairs also tip up from the base for easier third-row access. The third-row seat-which includes a three-point belt even for the middle passenger-tumbles backward into the cargo well. A right-side power sliding door and a power liftgate are standard with the S and SL; a power left-side door is added to the SE. Power door operation seemed a bit poky, though. The spare tire is stored in a well under the floor just behind the driver's seat. Run-flat tires, available on key competitors, are not yet offered with the Quest. Neither is a backup camera.
The Quest achieves competitive EPA fuel economy ratings of 19/26 mpg (four-speed automatic) and 18/25 mpg (five-speed automatic). Maximum seating accommodates seven persons. Pricing (including handling and destination charges) begins at $24,030 for the base model, increases to $25,140 for the S, $26,930 for the SL, and $32,930 for the SE. A fully equipped SE with navigation, dual-screen DVD entertainment, and the Skyview roof would bust across the $38,000 barrier.
A Nissan spokesman admits that resistance to the Quest's oddities was underestimated and sales haven't met expectations. Mid-product-cycle revisions are "quite possibly being accelerated," the spokesman said. But for the time being, buyers will have to "learn to get used to it" as it is. The way we see it, though, this just isn't in the stars for very many people.

I have a ready made shower pan 36x42 with the slots for the fiberglass side walls. I want to use it in my attic bathroom
My question is can a side wall be cut down to fit under the eves? Has anyone ever cut one of these fiberglass shower walls down before and if you did how did you do it with out cracking it? |

The walls can be cut but keep in mind that the code requires the walls must be straight up until you reach an elevation which is 72" higer than the finished elevation of the drain. |

So far, my 50-week gratitude tour at CHOC is going great. Already, I've met many other people who also have CHOC to thank for making their future bright.
Today, I wanted to share one of these stories with you. Let's learn more about Parker, who recently celebrated her first birthday – thanks to CHOC.
A year ago, a first birthday party was an uncertainty for Parker Evans, who was born weighing just 1 pound, 1 ounce after only 23 weeks gestation.
So, when the milestone approached after a long fight in CHOC's Small Baby Unit (SBU), it was only appropriate that the Evans family would throw a blowout bash for their miracle baby.
"We said it was like a celebration of life," says mom, Kristina.
Parker is one of scores of micro-preemies who have received special care inside the SBU since it opened in 2010. In the unit, infants born at less than 28 weeks gestation and weighing less than 1,000 grams receive coordinated care by specially trained staff.
"We ended up falling in love with the small baby unit – the nurses, the consistency, the environment," Kristina says.
The SBU's space differs from a traditional neonatal intensive care unit: Tiny babies lie inside shrouded incubators that keep light away from their underdeveloped eyes. Even a whisper is harsh for these babies' ears, so families and staff members speak in a gentle "library voice." The goal is to mimic the womb's environment as closely as possible so that infants can focus on growing.
"You never think this would happen to you, or that this world exists – that is until you're in it," says Kristina. "I'm so lucky that CHOC has that unit."
Parker was delivered by cesarean section after Kristina suffered blood loss attributed to placenta previa, a condition where a woman's placenta is too close to her cervix.
Transferred to the SBU nine days later, Parker remained there for 132 days until she was well enough to go home to south Orange County.
About a year later, Parker is growing and thriving. Parker does receive physical therapy, but she is on track developmentally and physicians foresee no future disabilities.
Kristina credits the SBU and its staff with ensuring a bright future for her daughter.
"I'm not going to lie: Having an extremely premature baby is the hardest thing a parent can ever go through, but everyone in that unit made a huge difference," she said. "We fell in love with the Small Baby Unit."
