giving a peice of furniture a lick of paint can transform it into something amazing, and its allot cheaper that going out and buying new, heres an example
done by common place beauty
how much better does it look, check out heathers tutorial for this cabinet at http://commonplacebeauty.blogspot.com/
miss mustard seed had transformed many peices of furniture from drap to fab
i love painted furniture and not only is it thrifty but when its finished you have a fab peice of furniture, which you worked hard on, and its a one off, no one else will have the same peice of furniture as you.
chalk paint is great for this type of project, and then use sand paper after wards to distress it.
you can also do some great knock offs using paint. like the real housewives of buck county did, they made this knock of anthopologie dresser.
check out their tutorial www.realhousewivesofbc.blogspot.com

I really like this color. Im about an mac nc45/revlon rich ginger. This color is such a pretty mauve almost cool toned pink. I was surprised that this color didnt show up as too ashy, too light or too cool lilac/purple. Its a nice light to medium pink. Its practically full coverage and the finish is between a satin and gloss. So far I have been thoroughly happy with the maybelline color sensational pink lipsticks. All thus far have good color payoff and work with my skintone. Most are neutral slightly leaning either cool or warm toned. This makes them easier to work for most people.
If I could get a maybelline nude lipstick to work like the pinks, then I would be in heaven. I swear, that I feared this pink would be like rimmel airy fairy and not look good on me. Im just so happy. I do prefer warmer pinks but this colors looks pretty darn good. Looking at swatches online didnt help me. On a lot of people my skin tone and darker, this pink looked too cool and the reviews werent as nice.
I just discovered this shade and I have no idea how I missed it for so long. I like Maybelline's lipsticks a lot and I have quite a few. This one is a nude pink on me; I'm NW20. It reminds me somewhat of Cream Cup from MAC but not exactly. It just looks about the same on me. It seems to be a more neutral pink but light. Nudey-pink with slight cool undertones? I am not sure, but it flatters me a lot.
Very beautiful every day color and the formula on these is amazing. You really can't go wrong with any of these. Very smooth, moisturizing, and wears well. No patches or streaking. This is one of those must-have colors.
My go to lipstick. The formula is amazing! pigmented and moisturising. The color is absolutely beautiful!! It lasts for about 2 hours which is fine for a drug store product. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for a nude-pinkish. It's amazing, I couldn't love a lipstick more than this one!
This lipstick moisturizes my lips and at the same time has a nice not to out there or to washed away pink it is the perfect shade of pink I would definitely tell you to but this....and for the price its so good...I actually like this better than MAC- Steady Going, but I still like that I just like this one better
This is one of my top favorite drugstore pink lipsticks ever! The formula is awesome; super creamy and moisturizing -- it is definitely my go to drug store brand. I'm in love with pink lip colors that have blue undertones, and this is a beautiful example of that. I wouldn't call it a Barbie pink because I think it's more wearable than that. I would totally buy this again...
This just didn't work for my medium olive NW25 skin tone. The color is too cool for my skin and didn't look right. I could probably pull it off, It isnt super loud or obnoxious in brightness, but I would rather exchange for a warmer tone. I can see why some girls love it, it's a wearable light pink with lavender undertones. I would say definitely more of a cool tone though. Bummer. Good formula though.. Love the lipstick collection.. Smooth and creamy. The best light pink is revlon lip butters in pink frosting!!
I love this! It stays on all night and the colour doesnt fade at all. I just love how the colour stands out but isn't too bold. It is just great and it is my favourite lipstick.. Sometimes if I want to dress it up a little I apply some glittery lipgloss on top but it looks fine on its own. Just love it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my favorite lipstick. I wear it constantly and am always replacing it. The color is a soft pink that looks good on just about everyone. It's very natural and soft looking. I highly recommend it. :)
OMG OMG OMG! I love this shade so much. It's the perfect, cool toned pink that I've been looking for. I finally found my HG pink lipstick. Color payoff is good and I love that it doesn't have any shimmer. I always wear mine with clear gloss on top and my lips look lovely and kissable. Staying power is good. I've really got nothing to complain about.
More reviews by GingerNoisette
I've to say that it is ''perfect'' except packaging. A creamy, pigmented and durable result in a bad package. I wonder why they produce like that, because it's almost as good as a luxury brand's rouge..

Symptoms of Shingles
Shingles usually begins with an unpleasant itching, burning, tingling, or painful sensation in a band-like area. The skin rash of shingles begins to appear 3-4 days after you notice these skin sensations.
Symptoms of the Prodromal Period
The prodromal period is the time about 3-4 days before the rash actually occurs. During this time, you may have the following symptoms:
- Fever
- Muscle aches
- Fatigue
- Anxiety, nervousness
Discomfort in the skin, usually on one side of the face, torso, trunk, back, or buttocks. The discomfort may feel like:
- Numbness
- Itching
- Burning
- Stinging
- Tingling
- Shooting pain
- Electric shock
- Sharp pain
- Extremely sensitive to even light touch
Symptoms of Active Shingles
The period of active shingles begins when you first notice a rash in the same location where you felt the skin sensations:
- The rash begins as a reddish band or individual bumps in a line.
- The bumps develop fluid-filled centers.
- Over the course of 7-10 days, the bumps begin to dry and crust over.
- You may continue to have pain and/or itching in the area of the rash; the pain may be severe.
- If the rash develops on the side of your nose or elsewhere on your face, you should contact your doctor right away. This can signal that your eye is affected.
The rash of active shingles should be gone within a week to a month. About 20% of people continue to have pain and discomfort after the rash has healed. This syndrome of pain in the area of the previously infected nerve is called postherpetic neuralgia. It can be severe and debilitating.

Has anyone named or is thinking of naming their child after a character in a book, movie, etc??
Am I completely bonkers for wanting to?
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and ever since I read the name and fell in love with the character, I've wanted to name my first son Severus.
I also am a huge fan of unique/uncommon names. I grew up with the name Nicole, and always had at least 3 other Nicole's in every class, and I HATED it.
Soo... not that anything is going to sway me after wanting this name for so long... but.... opinions?
How do you pronounce it? I want to say sever-us...
It's not really my style of name... but as far as naming your child after a character in a book or the like, I guess I kind of did that with dd so I don't see anything wrong with that LOL I didn't really name her *after* the character herself, but that is the first place I heard/saw her name and fell in love with it... and decided to use it
I did.. and ive gotten alittle flack from family for it but i dont care because i love the name.
ok- backstory.. i heard the name Paxton in a movie me and DH saw i theatres. The movie? lol thats the part that bugs my family.... it was Hostel. like the blood and gore horror movie Hostel. i love horror movies so its kinda fitting that his name came from one.
The main characters name is Paxton. i immediately LOVED it. and thats the story of my little boys name from a creepy gory movie... at least its a cool story to tell him when hes older.
DH Jamie
Paxton James-2/8/2008
Hayden Alexandra- 12/5/2009
Finn Hudson- 06/25/2012
I've done that with a few of my kids. My son, Harrison Davis, got both first and middle names from the show TruCalling, my other son Elliott's first name we got from Law and Order SVU, and my son Callum got his first name from an actor we like (Callum Blue) and middle name McKay from a character from Stargate Atlantis.
I think if you like the name, then use it! It shouldn't matter where it came from, and your family will get used to it
I LOVE the name Severus (and I'm also a huge HP fan!). I wish I could have talked my DH into a similar name
mommy to Jeremy, Nicholas, Hannah, Maddi, Harrison, Elliott, and
"Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies."
Sorry, I don't usually post on this board but your thread reminded me of this link a friend sent me this morning:
Basically, if you end up having a baby on 11/11/11 and name it after the main character (Dovahkiin) in this video game (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) which comes out on 11/11/11 they will give you a massive prize...yet to be announced.
As DH and I are HUGE video game addicts, we are considering it. One of the prizes they mentioned was unlimited lifetime free games via Steam which would be AWESOME!
Ok - I know it's cheesy but still - could be fun right? And it's not a horrible name?
I say if you like the name, use it, regarldess of where it comes from. I don't think there is anything wrong with naming after a character. With that being said, Severus isn't really my taste, but I know how you feel about common names as my name is Melissa. That's probably why my girls' names are Hadley and Malia.
DH: Gideon
Married: 06/01/2002
Hadley Christine: 05/17/2008
Malia Rose: 08/14/2010
Blog: Our Jones Family Experience
I have a few really "out there" names picked out for baby number two. My hubby conned me into naming our first born Kaylee, when I wanted to name her AnnaLeigh. But I get the 2nd babys name, I want it to be unique. Something that stands out and will be remembered! lol Who cares where the name came from as long as you love it!

2007–2008 Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
Family Nurse Practitioner | Admission | Progression in the Program | Probation and Suspension | Graduation Requirements | Program Requirements | MSN Plan of Study | FNP Certificate | Course Descriptions
Jean Dyer, Dean
Sheryl Steadman, Program Director
The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) at Westminster College offers an education to prepare nursing professionals for the advanced practice role of family nurse practitioner (FNP) or Nurse Educator. Both MSN programs are grounded in a philosophy that identifies an excellent practitioner as one who thinks critically, communicates effectively, understands personal values and respects the values of others, and incorporates ethical principles into practice. The program enhances students' understanding of theoretical, empirical, and practical knowledge related to advanced practice nursing and nursing education.
The Master of Science in Nursing builds on baccalaureate nursing preparation to prepare advanced practice nurses in the areas of primary health care or nursing education. Students in the FNP track will be prepared to provide a holistic, caring, health-promoting focus and to address concerns in today's health care systems. Students in the Nurse Educator track will be prepared to teach nurses in health care, community, and educational organizations.
After graduation, MSN students in the FNP track are eligible to take the American Nurse Credential Center (ANCC) or the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) certification exam and apply for Utah licensure as Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) with prescriptive authority. Students in the Nurse Educator track will qualify to take the Nurse Educator Certification Examination offered by the National League for Nursing.
Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)
Program Goals
The graduate of the FNP program will be prepared to:
- Establish therapeutic nurse/client relationships while providing primary care.
- Use a holistic approach to assess, diagnose, prescribe therapies, and consider ethical issues in managing the client's health over a period of time.
- Provide culturally sensitive care through the synthesis of a liberal education with advanced practice nursing knowledge.
- Articulate, integrate, evaluate and promote the advanced nurse practitioner role in the changing health care system.
- Collaborate on research projects and provide clinical expertise for research and theory development.
- Apply critical thinking skills in personal and professional transitional situations.
- Apply teaching skills in the area of health promotion and disease or injury prevention when in the teaching/coaching domains of practice.
Admission to the FNP Program
Admission to the program is based on an evaluation of demonstrated academic ability and professional experience. Successful completion of undergraduate courses in pathophysiology, pharmacology, health assessment, statistics, and research will be evaluated during the review of applications. Students enter the program at the beginning of fall semester and may complete the 42 credit requirements within five semesters, including one summer.
A candidate for admission must submit the following materials to the Office of Admissions:
- A completed application for Graduate Admission with a $40 application fee.
- Evidence of a completed BSN from an accredited school of nursing (CCNE or NLN Accreditation) with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
- GRE scores on file (this requirement is waived if you have a master's degree or higher).
- Official copies of transcripts sent by the registrar of each college or university attended.
- Personal résumé or vita (including current position) detailing professional and educational history. A minimum of 2 years RN experience is required.
- Three letters of recommendation from professional colleagues who can describe your nursing/clinical practice.
- Personal statement of nursing which addresses:
a. career goals encompassing Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) role;
b. a statement of perceived differences between the RN and FNP roles;
c. the strengths the applicant brings to the FNP role. - Copy of current unrestricted license to practice professional nursing in Utah (must be in good standing).
- Students will be required to provide proof of state and federal background checks at time of application. Both state and federal background checks must be free of criminal arrest history.
- Students will be required to provide drug testing results from an approved laboratory at time of application.
Upon completion of these steps, the individual's application materials are submitted to the MSN Admissions Committee. A personal interview with nursing faculty will be arranged. The student will be asked to provide a writing sample at the time of the interview. Once accepted to the MSN Program, applicants must submit a $250 tuition deposit, which guarantees a place in the entering class.
Progression in the FNP Program
The student must:
- Maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
- Receive a grade of B or higher in all courses.
- Cumulative test/quiz scores must average 80% or higher, or the student will not be able to progress into the next semester of nursing courses. If a student does not achieve an 80% or higher, the course grade will reflect only the average test/quiz scores achieved by the end of the course.
- Complete the program in 4 years from time of admission.
- Maintain current Utah RN license in good standing.
- Complete all thesis or project requirements according to identified time schedules.
Academic Probation and Suspension Policy
Students in the Master of Science in Nursing Program are expected to maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0. Students whose GPA falls below a 3.0 will be placed on academic probation. Students placed on academic probation must earn a semester GPA of at least 3.0 the next semester in which they enroll. Academic probationary students who fail to earn a semester GPA of at least 3.0 that semester will be dismissed from the Master of Science in Nursing Program.
Academic probationary students whose semester GPA is 3.0 or higher but whose cumulative GPA still remains below 3.0 will be continued on academic probation. Academic probationary students whose cumulative GPA reaches 3.0 or higher will be returned to good academic standing. To qualify for graduation, students must earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Program Probation and Dismissal Policy
A student may receive a practicum/classroom warning of program probationary status at any time during a field or classroom experience if the instructor determines that the student's performance is unsatisfactory. The written warning will outline what the student must do to meet the course requirements. Students who have been placed on program probation will be formally evaluated at the end of that course. Program probation will be removed if the student is able to successfully meet the objectives by the end of the course. Students must be removed from program probation to progress to the next course. However, any program probationary status will be documented in the student record.
A student will be dismissed from the nursing program for any of the following reasons:
- Violations of the academic honesty policies.
- Violation of the American Nurses Association "Code for Nurses" guidelines for ethical practice, or the National Student Nurses' Association "Code of Academic and Clinical Conduct."
- Failure to maintain a grade point average (GPA) appropriate to the program.
- A documented pattern of unprofessional behavior in the classroom or clinical setting.
- Unsafe practice during the field experience.
- A grade of B- or below in a second nursing course OR a repeated nursing course during the entire program.
- Failure to notify the School of Nursing of changes in a criminal arrest history.
Appeals for Readmission
Students dismissed from the nursing program related to field/classroom deficiencies must petition the Admission and Progression Committee for readmission if they wish to reenter the program. Matters of personal concern to the student will be considered at this time. The Admission and Progression Committee will make a recommendation to the Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences regarding readmission to the nursing program.
Students have the right to appeal decisions of academic evaluation or dismissal through the Academic Grievance Process of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. The procedure for appeal is outlined in the Graduate Nursing Student Handbook.
Graduation Requirements
Candidates for graduation should apply to the Registrar's Office approximately two regular semesters prior to planned completion of graduation requirements. Applications for December graduation are due in September and applications for May and August graduation are due in October. Please see the Academic Calendar for more specific dates. Candidates are notified of remaining degree requirements within four weeks after applying for graduation.
To be eligible for a master's degree, students must satisfy the following conditions:
- Meet all credit hour and other course requirements.
- Be enrolled at Westminster College during the semester in which they wish to graduate.
- Maintain good academic standing.
- Earn a grade of B or higher in all graduate courses.
Note: Only graduate-level coursework may be applied toward degree or certificate requirements.
The final responsibility for being informed about, and adhering to, graduation requirements rests with the student.

50. G.I. Joe PSAs
If you're lucky, from time to time, people you know will just walk around absentmindedly uttering the phrases,"porkchop sandwiches" and "Hey kid, I'm a computer" and "Memememememememe." Hearing them may not even make you laugh at this point, but they still instantly trigger a subtle, strange euphoria.
Like a lot of funny stuff on the Internet, the G.I. Joe PSAs happened pretty much accidentally. Eric Fensler bought a DVD of a G.I. Joe animated movie and found the 25 original PSAs tacked onto the end of it more entertaining than the film itself. So he started fucking with them, adding his own surreal storylines and all that's left is a canvas of bucolic 1980s suburbia where every citizen apparently ingests bushels of 'shrooms every fucking morning. The kids in Fensler's universe are innocent rubes who are still prone to trouble. They want to "launch over" downed wires on their bikes, fry shit when their parents aren't home, and slide across thin ice. But all of the adults have been recast as muscular, flamboyant Village People who randomly offer children body massages and compliments on outfits, or they are outsized pricks issuing impossible to follow orders—think of the Scottish guy who scolds the kids trying to save their friend who wiped out on a frozen pond: "Give him the stick...Don't give him the stick."
The result is that upon first viewing, at least, you have no idea what anyone is going to say or do. The beauty of it, or anything on the Internet, really, is that it can become whatever it wants to be—no matter what it was before.

The purpose of the Mountainland Economic Development District Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) is to create permanent, long-term jobs within the Mountainland region of Utah by providing "gap" and start-up financing to qualified businesses for eligible activities. Loans made through the Revolving Loan Fund are intended to help bridge the gap created by shortfalls in commercial financing. Funds are repaid into the program and recycled to other businesses, thus allowing an ongoing job creation program. Funds are available for businesses located in Utah (excluding Provo and Orem), Summit, or Wasatch County.
Microloan Program.It is the purpose of the microloan program to provide an entry level to a micro-enterprise with the potential to become a business eligible for traditional funding. This is accomplished by assisting low and moderate income citizens, women and minorities to better themselves through enterprise ownership. |

Meriwether Lewis Randolph
Meriwether Lewis Randolph (1810-1837) was the tenth child of Martha Jefferson Randolph and Thomas Mann Randolph. He was born at Monticello and named for his grandfather's secretary, the explorer Meriwether Lewis. Randolph studied law and moral and natural philosophy at the University of Virginia, 1829-1831, but chose to pursue a career on the western frontier. He worked briefly as a clerk for the Department of State before being appointed Secretary of the Arkansas Territory by President Andrew Jackson in February 1835, a position Randolph held through the transition to statehood. On 9 April 1835 he married Elizabeth Martin, daughter of James Glasgow Martin of Nashville, and grandniece to President Jackson. They had one son, Lewis Jackson Randolph (1836-1840). After his commission expired, Randolph began purchasing large tracts of land, eventually acquiring over ten thousand acres. He died of malaria in Clark County, Arkansas, on 24 September 1837, and was buried on his newly established plantation, Terre Noir.

Possibly my favorite Jefferson grandchild. In an 1837 letter to his sister Septimia, he described his young son: "Jack is the bulliest boy in the state. I wish you could see him. He is the most perfect waggletail I ever saw. Restless, rolling, tumbling and never quiet or stastionary a minute at the time, and, of course, as troublesome as brat can be. His mother has no control over him, at all. He is a little afraid of me, if I growl & look grave. But then, he peers into my face, with such a quizical expression of curiosity & enquiry to ascertain if I am really angry, that my gravity is always upset. He completed, year the first, in his life, yesterday, cut his first tooth & learned to smoke on the same occasion." (original at University of Virginia, Randolph-Meikleham Family Papers, Mss 4726a)

The Host With the MostPaul staggered out into the early morning fog like a drunkard.He hunched into the raised lapels of this too-thin jacket and wandered away from the hotel, disoriented, shivering--panic gnawing at his gut like a cannibal. "I need help," he thought, "but where?" The nearest hospital was the obvious answer, but the thought of what the doctors would do filled his mind with images of hospital beds with straps, extended isolation with no answers and needles piercing his flesh.The mass on his thigh was growing--that was certain. Paul could feel it writhing and pushing against his flesh as he walked. Lost in his fears, he never noticed the black, windowless van pull up next to him until he heard the van door slide back violently, and rough hands reached out and pulled him out of the grey London mist into darkness.He awoke with a headache, disoriented. His eyes would not focus and he began to panic, his heart pounding in his ch
London CallingPaul's Journal (February 28)Six months.One-hundred and eighty three days from vomit on my pants to the fall of civilization. John Dryden once said, "...mighty things from small beginnings grow." Yeah, no shit.There were more entities than we thought, hidden in other cities on other continents, and they all rose together in that terrible final struggle to fight us for control. I was wrong to think I was strong enough to stop them. I was so wrong.At dawn, on the one-hundred eighty-fourth day of the war, all I can see from the roof of the House of Commons is the apocalypse. Across the Thames, the London Eye looms over the riverbank like a broken metal sentinel. There are fires in the gloom below--some lit for warmth, others burning out of control.I had always wanted to bring Maya up here. Now I just come alone.Down on the streets, among the remnants of humanity that still drag themselves across the cracked concretethere are still active entit
Day 2 (October 19, 8:35:29 AM BST)The next morning dawned under a bleak, leaden sky.As he stood shivering in his boxers before the single narrow window in his cramped hotel room, Paul could see a sliver of the grey waters of the Thames through the gauntlet of buildings that surrounded his hotelenough to catch the occasional, random swoop of gulls in the mist. He had spent enough time in country during his last visit to develop a sense of familiarity. All the little cultural and practical differences (the iconic electric plugs, the alternate spelling of words) were beginning to reassemble in his psyche like missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.He smiled with more than a hint of sarcasm as he peered through the dim, sooty glass while scratching the stubble on his face. The landscape through the window was a metaphor for everything in his life. Always in sight, but just out of reach.He stood looking out absentmindedly until his full bladder began to compete with the view. As he turned from the window and headed towa
A Shower and a Change"Ah, damn. God damn."The stain was small, no larger than a coin. It fell near his right hip, nestled in the dip between crotch and thigh. Still, it was nauseating. Paul stripped off the trousers and walked to the sink, hoping the sliver of hotel soap would take out the spot.He began running the hot water and paused, staring at the vomit. Resisting the urge to gag, he grazed his fingers over the stain. It was purely liquid and slick like dish soap, but the sickly brown could only be vomit. He slowly raised his hand to his face and sniffed his fingers. Nothing. It seemed, for a moment, odorless. But no, he suddenly caught a faint scent of metal. Like a cup full of coins. Or a bloodied nose."Shit!" A stream of blood ran down his nostrils, over his lip and down his chin. Paul dropped the trousers to the bathroom floor and watched the b
Odyssey II Submission: Chapter OneCHAPTER ONE: WORLD'S ENDGod gave us memory so that we might have roses in December. J.M. Barrie The young redhaired woman was admiring herself in a full-length mirror. The vintage dress she was modeling reflected her fondness for the antique. She still laughed to think of how as a teenager she'd wandered from Victoria Station all the way down to the World's End area of the King's Road, somehow naively thinking that some glittering remnant of a 1960s storefront would magically appear. A casual observer might have placed her in her late 20s or early 30s, with a sly smile that suggested a rare intelligence bubbling just below the surface. It was there to note or no; most did not and would discover that they'd badly misjudged her abilities. There were countless fresh-faced office boys who, upon attempting to engage her in some local gossip or office smut, found themselves galloping away with their tails (or other parts) between
Dreams of the DeepPaul's whole world was spinning. The Proxitol made it incredibly difficult for him to think clearly. Maya? Yes, her name was Maya. She had told him it would only be a few days, that the thing inside would dissolve. She'd been wrong, and she'd been surprised that she'd been wrong, not that it mattered. Resting his head against the cool porcelain of the toilet in the cell he called a room, Paulcould almost laugh about how this all seemed like some ridiculous dream. But the pain, the disorientation, and the feeling of...something inside...assured him it was anything but. The growth had started spreading again, but it was different this time. The iridescent scales had formedpatches around his hips, wrapped around his waist, and then branched out into two separate lines thatran up and gathered around his shoulder blades, sprouting opaque sacs. That night he dreamed of an ocean, somewhere far, far away. Something large and shapeless, sparkling like a star-covered
Skin Glowing From WithinLysanna felt a sudden change in her breathing, and knew than that something had happened to her Progeny. Though the organism was still very small, she shared a psychic link with it that would remain as it transferred from host to host. When the growth cycle was complete, the bond she had with the tiny bit of life would be severed as it emerged from the host with its own consciousness. She looked in the mirror at her gaunt face, the colors of her life force faded and barely moving under the surface of her tightly stretched, translucent skin. Her time in this world was diminishing and with every dying moment she hoped that her progeny would take hold in it's new host. She had tried transferring her progeny to the humans many times before, and felt the twinge of pain as it was violently rejected, leaving the host in throes of agony as it expelled the last bits of the strange organism. But this time, she was hopeful, for the progeny had thrived longer in t

text: Ugg, I had a realization the other day that I weigh more now than I did when I was 9 months pregnant (both babies). With my first I weighed 280 at the end of the pregnancy and 270 with my youngest. This is discouraging to think about but somehow also inspiring me as a mini goal to get below what I weighed when I first got pregnant. Both times I weighed 250 to start. Anyone else have the same issue? :(

The Rev. Peter Morales, president of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), issued this statement following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on buffer zones:
"Today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the use of protest buffer zones around Massachusetts abortion clinics in McCullen v. Coakley. This is a major defeat in the fight for reproductive rights and may put clinic workers and individuals seeking pregnancy-related care at great risk. I am disappointed and deeply troubled by the potential repercussions of such a decision.
The Unitarian Universalist Association joined with other religious leaders in an amicus curiae brief in support of buffer zones. Just as citizens have the right to vote or attend religious events of their choosing, they should have the right to access legal medical services, including abortions and reproductive counseling, without harassment or violence. These acts have been effectively protected by buffer zones in the past. They help law enforcement officers to minimize intimidation and abuse in these public spaces which are all too often scenes of violence.
I pray that the harassment and violence endured by the employees and clients of these healthcare facilities will end. Unitarian Universalists believe that women possess the dignity and conscience to make their own decisions about pregnancy-related healthcare in consultation with their family, doctor, and faith. The government must play a role in helping all people access their fundamental rights."

What to Seek in an Older Subnotebook?
rdesktop compatibility (250 comments)
When I was in college I had an old ultra-thin that did two things well - wireless networking and running rdesktop (and obviously X). Very nice and easy solution if you need to connect to a windows Box. I was able to use a 233 Mghz laptop to connect to my home PC and run things like MSDE, Matlab, etc. If I'm not mistaken I had a Toshiba Portege. nice little machine - and super duper light.

Golden Valley High School Reviews
I have been a teacher at this school for the past seven years. Every year we have managed to to raise our APY?API scores and are now over the 700 mark. We have done our very best to see that we have a staff who will promote all the plans we have put into place to see that we are successful. One of our greatest impacts has been our tutoring program in all core subjects. On any given day we have over 300 students in attendance. Our school climate is safe. We have an on site police officer plus five security. We have a zero tolerance policy which is followed up with a great administration.

Well, for a year a friend on a countywide organization's board with me has said she has a stash of yarn she wants to bring to me, but we both keep forgetting to coordinate. Last night she brought me a tub of lovely yarns, usually one ball or skein only but sometimes a couple of them. They are often without labels, so I have to assume they are wool when I think of how to care for the made item. Some have 2 or 3 skeins in the same color. Some are one skein of a few different colors of the same yarn and others are just one skein. They are mostly the unique type yarns. Some still have labels with the price, and wow, I would not spend that on yarn myself. Sooooo this is a treasure of a stash that I don't know how to use up right now. Lots of greens and natural ecrus and browns, but some with metallic threads or sequins too. I will have to see what I can turn into baby items. But the rest---MMMMMMMMMMMMM |

Lucky you |
I have a girlfriend like that who is always passing on a ball or a bit of yarn leftover from another project. Some prices make you shudder, but she knows I will use it on some project or other...we truly are lucky. Budster |

Moni, I live in southern California, and so does my younger sister. We would die of heat prostration! My older sister lives in hot Texas. My youngest son lives in NYC, but I have made him too many scarves. In fact, now he is learning to knit and his group of friends go to knitting coffee shops. My DD is moving back to southern California this month, and I have made her a good 30 or more scarves already. Sooooo, I am stumped. Maybe I will come up with something. They are lovely balls of yarn!! |
I made a few bags last year - the first two in the yarn called for - Woolease Chunky - and then the next few using two strands of whatever I had around the house. Of course, I made a few based on special requests colors but everyone loves this bag. Great for small projects, taking lunch to work, etc. Yes, I know this is a winter bag but just think of getting ahead on Christmas gifts! |

What about knitting some slippers? (Or crochet them.) |
Congratulations! I had a similar experience a year or so ago - I was taking a Saturday morning walk in my neighborhood and came across a neighbor having a yardsale. She had yarn, so I started going through to see what she had that I could put to good use. She had bought a lot of single skeins of a particular yarn in almost every color, so although there was a lot of yarn, there wasn't a lot in a color. I ended up purchasing 60+ skeins for less than $40. When I brought it home, I stored the yarns in similar colorways and realized that this would be how I could use them. All of the yarns were 100% wool suitable for felting. I have simply stranded colors together when I knit and then when the piece is felted, it's a very lovely "wash" of color. You could also purchase enough yarn of the same color to run along with your "found" yarn, since felting usually needs two yarns worked together – and would give you less variegation in your finished fabric. I recently "lost" several bags to my mother - she came out for a visit and spied a couple of colorways and took them home with her. While she was visiting, she made a lovely felted bag (I wish I had taken a photo). She embellished the outside with buttons from my button stash, and then lined it with some lovely fabric we found at the quilting store, and even added a little zipper pocket. Because the yarn, zipper, and buttons came from my stash, only cost was for the fabric lining. I think I mostly see felted bags, but there's some darling patterns for felted caps or cloches, slippers, coffee cup cuffs - lots of little things that can use up the bits and pieces of yarn that you have. |

From Fine Little Day: Oh Hama Beads
The following is a guest post from Fine Little Day.
Back to my collections. Hama beads have grown from a hobby into an art form and they're not only for kindergarten kids. As for me, they have become something of an obsession.
This is my collection of Hama bead baskets. This is the most beautiful way to use Hama beads in my opinion. I'm always on the lookout for these baskets, which were common in Sweden in the '70s. I don't make them myself but you can find hints on how to create one the net here, here and here.
Cilla Ramnek is a Swedish artist that frequently uses Hama beads in her art. She makes amazing patterns with them.
