Linton School Board approves superintendant evaluation
The Linton School Board reviewed and accepted the evaluation of Superintendant Alan Bjornson during its regular meeting on Feb. 20.
The overall evaluation was satisfactory, according to the board, but board members noted improvements that should be made in Bjornson's performance in some areas.
Some of the questions came in the areas of public relations and principal duties. Bjornson addressed comments made by the board that he needs to improve his communication with the public and patrons of the district, and he needs to be more involved in events held at the school.
Bjornson told the board that the school's daily bulletin is posted on the school's website. He said the bulletin contains all of the information of what is going on at the school for the day and the rest of the week.
Bjornson said he attends concerts, sporting events and other activities at the school normally as a spectator, because other faculty members are paid to run those events as part of their contracts.
"OurAthletic Director (Dan Imdieke) always serves as the manager for any tournaments held in Linton, and H-M-B's AD is usually the manager for tournaments held in Hazelton," Bjornson said. "Any time there is a concert, speech meet or Acalympics held at the school, the advisors or coaches take care of the tournament as part of their contracts."
Bjornson was asked if the school has enough fire drills during the school year, and he said there are at least six fire drills during a school year, and the school began holding lock down drills this year. Bjornson said there should be more tornado drills, as well as emergency evacuation drills, and he plans to have more of them in the future.
After reviewing the evaluation, board member Arnold Vetter made a motion to approve it as satisfactory. Board member Tiffany Heer seconded the motion, and it carried, 5-0.
The board also:
• Accepted the resignation of Elementary School Secretary Rhonda Dockter. Dockter, who has held the position since taking over for the late Linda Kress at the beginning of the 2009-10 term, sent a letter of resignation to the board, stating she has decided to pursue another job opportunity.
Board member JoAnn Humann made a motion to accept Dockter's resignation, effective at the end of the 2012-13 school term, and board member Pat Huber seconded the motion. The motion carried, 5-0.
Linton Elementary Principal Brian Flyberg told the board that advertising for the position will begin immediately, and he hoped to fill the position before the school year ends.
• Heard from Superintendant Alan Bjornson, who gave his report. Upcoming events at the high school included "Healthy Habits" seminars, which will be presented by University of Mary students during the month of March.
Bjornson informed the board of the new school funding formula put forth by the State, which will decrease the mills that are set at each school annually. Bjornson explained the projected formula, and how it would affect funding for Linton Public School.
Bjornson also updated the board on the school's "code red" project. He said the school is looking at installing 32 cameras throughout the facility, as well as security doors that lock automatically, and cannot be opened from the outside. Bjornson said the doors can only be opened by school personnel from inside the office.
Bjornson said the camera system would cost about $30,000, and would activate whenever there is motion in their view. He said the cameras can be run and viewed through a computer, and law enforcement officials could easily access them.
Bjornson said the security doors, which would be installed at the main entrances of the middle school and high school buildings, would cost around $6,000 each. Bjornson told the board he would seek grants to help cover the costs of the security projects.
• Elementary Principal Brian Flyberg informed the board of upcoming events in the elementary and middle schools, which include a seat belt safety course (Feb. 28), parent-teacher conferences (March 26) and the Dakota Challenge in Zeeland on March 27.
The Linton Science Fair will be held on Thursday, Feb. 21, and the local winners will hold an open house at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, in the Middle School Library.
Flyberg said Mrs. Denise Pfeifer, K-4 Reading Coach, and some of her students will participate in an event called "Read Across America" on Feb. 27, where third grade students from Linton Elementary School will read to third grade students from a New York school using ITV.
Flyberg recognized and commended Linton students Cole Vander Laan (1st place) and Cassidy Will (2nd place) for placing in the Emmons County Mathcounts on Feb. 7, as well as the Linton team (Vander Laan, Will, Jack McCrory, Brooke Vander Laan, and Coach Charles Pavlicek) for placing first in the event. Flyberg also recognized Riley Mattheis, who was the runner-up in the Emmons County Spelling Bee on Feb. 12.
• Heard from Linton Education Association (LEA) representative Diane Nagel, who gave an update on LEA activities and events.
Nagel said the LEA will sponsor a junior and senior highAcalympics competition at Linton School on Tuesday, April 2, and she said the recipient for the annual LEA Scholarship will be selected and announced within the next couple of weeks.
Nagel also submitted a Petition to Negotiate from the LEA to the Linton School District Board. Board member JoAnn Humann made a motion to accept the petition, and board member Pat Huber seconded. The motion carried, 5-0.
Reviewed the proposed school calendar for the 2013- 14 term. Classes will begin on Monday, Aug. 19, 2013, and the last day of school will be May 15, 2014. Graduation will be held on Sunday, May 18. Board member Pat Huber made a motion to adopt the 2013-14 Calendar, with a second by board member Tiffany Heer. The motion carried, 5-0.
• Unanimously approved a motion made by board member JoAnn Humann and seconded by board member Arnold Vetter to hold the Linton School Board election on Tuesday, June 11, at the Linton Community Center. Linton School District Business Manager Marcia King said that the terms of Board President Rod Jacob and board member Pat Huber expire this year.
• Scheduled the next regular meeting for Monday, March 18, at 7:30 p.m.

Barista Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Starbucks.
After filling out online application. They will show you a list of Starbucks that are hiring about 10. WRITE EVERY STORE NUMBER DOWN!!!!!!!!! Then, CALL EVERYONE OF THEM!
Read this 2 minutes script.
"Hi, My name is ________, can I speak to your hiring manager please." If the hiring manager is not there, find out what their name is and what day and time they will be available. Find out the name of the person you are talking to and write their name down as well and thank them for their time. Then, call back when the hiring manager will be available.
If the manager is there.
"Hi, my name is ___________, I saw online that your store was hiring and I was wondering If I could stop by for no more then two minutes, to drop off my resume and cover letter. When your free of course, this way you can get a feel for me vs just seeing my name on a piece of paper."
Two things will happen, either they will state they are no longer hiring, in which case, you ask them if they know of any other stores that are hiring and what is that managers name. Thank them for their time then, repeat the script with that store.
Or they will give you a time and a day. (Mines offered to meet the next hour.) Prep A resume and a cover letter, dress up as best as you can. I wore a shirt and tie. Go in. be positive, show them you want to learn, and be honest. I told them I didnt drink much coffee, but there is a lot of coffee history they' will teach you if you ask. For fun, ask them about the black apron.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Starbucks.
Interview DetailsApplied online and they called a week later to schedule an interview that next day. We had a group interview for 3 locations. Accept the free drink. Asked situation questions like how did you handle it when you failed to give good customer service or something around that. Asked about our meaning of diversity and if it's important. They also want to know what type of person are you. A people person or friendly. Why did you choose Starbucks , what do you know about the company. So do a little research. Especially about diversity in the company. And They asked how much experience with customer service do you have. Got called for a second interview a few days later. The second interview was only ten minutes because the store manager wanted to talk face to face and the interviewer in the group interview asked all her questions. She wanted to know my availability, how I would prioritize customer orders, and how much I know about the drinks. I dressed professional but trendy. Black slacks flowered blouse. Overall it was laid back. The interviews are on the floor with the customers to see how you interact with the environment. The baristas are nice and the store managers are laid back and humorous. Background check takes a good week.
In general, be yourself, laugh and smile. And eye contact.Interview Questions- The most difficult or unexpected questions were the customer service questions for me because I don't have experience in customer service. View Answer

About Panasonic
Latest News
Panasonic & Sanyo Marine conservation
According to 2010 is the year of international bio diversity, Panasonic Company worldwide have launched activities "Panasonic Eco Relay" to conserve the environment by fixing activities between June and July. The Environmental Committees of Panasonic Thailand Companies organized voluntary activity "Panasonic Marine Conservation" on June 26, 2010 at Sea Turtle Conservation Center, Tambol Samasan, Aumphur Sattahip, Chonburi Province.
Totally there were 430 staffs and families of Panasonic and Sanyo companies in Thailand joined voluntarily the activities, releasing sea turtles to natural resource, cleaning sea turtles and ponds to eliminate pathogen and picking up garbage on the beach.
Chonburi province locates nearby Thai Gulf. In the past, sea turtles grew abundantly in this area. Nowadays they are faced with coast intrusions; sea turtles cannot lay eggs on beach. Moreover, a lot of sea turtles were hunted to sell for meat and bring their shells to make ornaments. This effects the number of sea turtles in Thai gulf are extremely reduced.
The area where the sea turtles go to lay eggs every year, remains only islands around Sattahip beach. Additionally, the survival rate of sea turtles in nature is also minimum approximately 3%. The sea turtle conservation center is responsible for growing and nourishing the babies of sea turtles before releasing them to their habitats.
Marine conservation project will not only 'save the biodiversity of Thai Gulf'.
It's also an activity that Panasonic and Sanyo companies in Thailand contributed to the society.
Education Support Fund in Thailand
Panasonic Group in Thailand (20 companies as of 2010) has continued our CSR activities called 'Panasonic Education Support Fund' since 2007.
The project has brought gladness and relieved hunger from more than 2,710 children 36 schools, 9 provinces in Northern part and Northeastern part of Thailand. The 3 year-project aimed to provide lunch to school in remote areas of Thailand by providing 1 Million Baht to each province which the overall budget we have donated to children is approximately 9 Million Baht.
The project is conducted not only by donating money to children but we have also given this opportunity to our employees of the group and local dealers in each province to be a part of this pleasurable project. Apart from cash donation which is to support school lunches, lunch boxes, footballs, books and other educational materials are also provided to schools every year. By receiving reports from schools every 2 months, we are grateful that each school used our money as an extended project as well. For instance, small pig and vegetable farms were built inside schools in Srisaket province.
Though the 3-year project has already ended, there is a new project coming up in 2010. As we believe that to provide education to children is one way to contribute to sustainable development for Thailand, the new project will not only support fund for children, but also will educate them about environment issues so that we can ensure that they will grow up to be good adults in Thai society.

Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2011
Viognier from Barossa Valley, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Pale straw in color, the 2011 Y Series Viognier has aromas of honeysuckle, poached quinces and mandarin peel so evocative of this exotic variety. The palate is rich in texture and body thanks to wild yeast fermentation and ageing on lees, yet retains a refreshing quality that make it a pleasure to drink. Flavors to be found on the palate include grapefruit peel, lemongrass and stonefruit, while the texture adds layers of fruit persistence.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Polished, open-textured and nicely balanced to let the pear, apricot and clove flavors come through clearly, lingering on the finish. Drink now."
Yalumba Winery
Yalumba is one of Australia's oldest family-owned wineries and was founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith. From modest beginnings, the Yalumba Wine Company has grown to become one of Australia's most successful medium-sized wineries, owned by 6th generation Robert Hill Smith. Yalumba regularly receives accolateds for its distinctive wines, as well as for its leadership role in the Australian wine industry in the areas of viti-innovation and environmental policy. The Yalumba premium wine portfolio commences with the fresh and flavorsome varietal wines of the Y Series, then moves up to capture the essence of the Barossa Eden Valleys, explores old world varieties through innovated, modern wines in the Hand Picked line, and culminates with the coveted, collectible Yalumba Rare & Fine wines. View all Yalumba Wines About Barossa Valley
View a map of Barossa Valley wineriesThe Barossa zone consists of two sections - the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley. Wines from the Eden Valley can be labelled Barossa or Barossa Valley.
Situated just a bit east of the large city of Adelaide, Barossa is Australia's wine headquarters. Mega producers are based here, boutique wineries call it home and a majority of the habitants claim their income on the wine industry. The valley is strewn with a series of hamlets, small towns spotted throughout the region.
Barossa Valley
Barossa is red-wine territory, with red grapes consisting of about two-thirds of the region's plantings. The reds, Shiraz in particular, are lauded for their rich, concentrated flavors and aging potential. Old vines of Shiraz and Grenache are popular, many up to 80 years old. The valley is home to some of the most famous vineyards of Australia - this is where the first Penfolds Grange was made. Whites are also found, mainly from the Semillon grape – these wines are as full-bodied as the reds although harder to find. Riesling and Chardonnay are also planted.
Eden Valley
Right next to Barossa Valley, but a bit higher in elevation, Eden Valley is an ideal neighbor. Many wineries source vineyards from both areas as the climate difference in Eden Valley leads to wines of a different character. Reds are still mainly Shiraz and Grenache, but the wines are often more restrained and less dense than those in the Barossa Valley proper. Whites are popular here too. Eden Valley Rieslings and Semillons are particularly excellent.About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip. -
Customer Reviews
Sign In to Add Your Review0 }div>Alcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Twisted Jenna Sandal 4 4
Cute. Got what I payed for. The sandal has a cute look, but the sole is already coming off at toe. I have only worn them 3 times. Also you can see the seam of the fabric covering the wedge on the inside. Its not horrible but it does stand off a bit. I am sure the wedge covering is going to come off pretty easy. I did order a half size down. April 22, 2014
Runs big I usually use a size 9 but I bought an 8.5. These shoes are gorgeous and my husband loves them I think I will buy the beige also bc it is such a hit! March 19, 2014
Great shoe for the price! I absolutely love this shoe! It runs a whole size smaller !! So Be Warned when ordering!I saw these online few months back and were only in a size 7 and the beige color, I did see the note about these shoes being large, so I ordered with my fingers crossed, because I typically wear a 7.5 or 8. They fit perfectly! So comfortable as well, I can wear them out with no problems. And they look great with a lot of different outfits.Glad I went for it. :) July 14, 2013
SO CUTE I love these. The colors are exactly what i was looking for. I only gave 3 stars because these run ridiculously large. I am normally a 6 1/2 and they are about a full size too big. I'm going to return and attempt to special order the 6 (if available) but I'm not holding my breath that they'll fit either. They are so cute though, and such a great price. February 16, 2013

Jane Jacobs, Moynihan Station, and general feelings of apprehension
I've been thinking about the "Jacobsian" philosophy a lot lately, as it seems that more entities use The Death and Life as a way of defending their proposals, i.e. "inspired by Jane Jacobs." Many of these projects embody, at face value, a fundamental hypocrisy (such as new walkable communities in the desert joust utside of Las Vegas proper.) I thought more about it after this panel I attended about Jane Jacobs at the Strand last Thursday night. The panel featured a couple of my favorite writers, Phillip Lopate, Karrie Jacobs, and a fine cartoonist, Ben Katchor, who all presented piece of their work in the book Block by Block which accompanies the Jane Jacobs exhibit at the Municipal Art Society.
Yet as Jacobs is being used to support unsustainable development, it is also used by those who oppose change in our city. It's been troubling to me to hear of projects that are obvious wins for the public to be hamstrung and blocked from execution for a variety of reason, and then also, as the kicker, to be claimed as a project that is against Jane Jacobs. See this post by Karrie Jacobs about Moynihan Station.
Jane Jacobs continues to captivate so many is because her writing relates the many multiple beauties of city living, and at a scale (i.e., small) that was overlooked by planners during her time in New York. There's something about it that captures the imagination for those who care about cities. However, while it may seem that Jane Jacobs would be opposed to many of our proposed changes because we have ushered in so many large-scale projects - some good, some bad, some downright terrible - I think that to immediately assume scale as an indication of public value, or to oppose change for the sake of it, is a mistake. Our city has more than 8 million people. Our infrastructure and our network of shared spaces and streets, are necessarily large. Our population is projected to explode in the short-term, and we need large public works to support us. (For example, Moynihan Station and congestion pricing; both are large-scale efforts). I wholly believe that this is in line with Jane Jacobs; her lament was centered around the divestment of our city, the short-sighted investment of the suburbs and the thoughtlessly-wide brush-stroke of Moses-era planning. This is an era where we are investing in our city. We need good planning that can think big as well as it can delicately fine-tune sidewalk widths. My reading of Jacobs is that she would support large-scale progress, especially when it is change that allows the street ballet to continue. All of this bears saying because there are a lot of New York projects that really are making change for the better right now, and if you can't stop and recognize the good of those projects, then what's the point of fighting at all?
(The panel discussion was filmed and was supposed to be posted somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. If you are dying with curiosity about what was said, check the Strand or Futureofny.org site after a few more days. Or you can just buy the book.)

Muhheakantuck - Everything Has a Name
Tonight I went to see a CreativeTime exhibit by Matthew Cunningham. I'm fascinated with the process of mapping and how our world, physical and otherwise, becomes defined.
There is another weekend's worth of showings (April 4-5, reservations required), and if you miss it entirely, I highly recommend trying the Water Taxi, especially right after sunset, and after having read up on Russell Shorto's The Island at the Center of the World. It's not the same, but about as close as you can get. (ED: Shorto's book is worth reading, Water Taxi notwithstanding.)

Saturday was not even the warmest of days, but this space still managed to draw people and make them linger. This is the result of work that was started in 2005 with PPS, the Meatpacking Business Improvement District, and the New York City Streets Renaissance. Here's an overview of the initial approachapproach that was then taken up with more community workshops led by RPA, then synthesized into an amenable solution by Sam Schwartz, with parties from all steps participating throughout.

NYC Bike Rack Competition
From flickr
Calling all innovators: NYCDOT and Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum just announced a new competition for a bike rack design and indoor bike parking. This isn't just an ideas competition - there is $50,000 for prototyping the winning design (along with $15,000 worth of prize money for the winners.)
Check out the CityRacks competition site and the full NYCDOT release.
I'm thrilled by this news - not only is it the DOT taking initiative with a unique partnership, there's design momentum behind it AND there's money set aside for prototyping so you can actually see your design come to life. This competition should not be missed. No bike racks and secure bike parking are actually the main reasons our office does not ride to work, and the building management (one of the largest in the city) is entirely unsympathetic. (It's SL Green, btw, and don't even get me started about its horrible recycling policy.)

Suburban slumming?
A thought-provoking Atlantic Monthly article about the potential demise of the traditional American suburbs as the subprime mortgage crisis unfurls.
One thing it reminded me of was the background anxiety I felt growing up in the suburbs. I spent most of my high school years without parents around and always had a sense of anxiety when coming back to our house when my sister and I had been gone for the day. What would stop anyone from breaking in, hiding in the basement and then sneaking out to terrorize us? Maybe I was watching too many horror movies, but I always thought the collective brainwave that thought suburban neighborhoods were safer than cities - when you literally never saw a friendly soul on a suburban street ever - was off.
The article also reminded me of a TV show I caught only once, on one of the many home improvement networks out there. I now can't remember the name of it, but there was a guy with a British-accent who found new homeowners of very poorly constructed housing. Their homes were, perhaps after only a couple of years, really falling apart. Literally stuff like rain dripping from the sills on the inside of the house. The host would then go on a rampage making the houses more solid, whether it was putting insulation in the attic, caulking around window sills, etc, really basic stuff. The best part is how angry and indignant he got about it - and rightly so. This sounds random, but if you read the AM article, you'll know what I'm talking about.

The congregation of a 700-year-old rural church is appealing for help after being hit with a costly repair bill for the Grade I listed building.
All Saints' Church in Hemblington, near Blofield Heath, recently underwent its detailed five-yearly structural inspection.
A number of problems were identified with the church's roof, masonry and down-pipes, problems which are going to cost over £19,000 to repair.
The Friends of Hemblington Church are now faced with raising £8,000 to ensure the work is completed before the problems worsen and become more costly to repair.
The Church Commissioners, who are responsible for some of the church's chancel, and the parochial church council, which is responsible for the rest of the church, are paying part of the cost.
Those contributions bring the total down to around £14,000, as Sue Shillam, fundraiser for the project, explained: "Thanks to the tremendous support we have had from our growing congregation and the local community over the last couple of years, we have sufficient funds in reserve to immediately allocate £6,000 towards the project.
"That still leaves us a further £8,000 to find. The work needs to take place as soon as the winter weather has passed and will probably start early in March. It should only take six weeks at most and the church will then be ready for important events in the spring and summer of 2013."
In a village where around 300 people live and a church which has a regular congregation of around 25 parishioners, finding that money is set to be a big challenge.
But Mrs Shillam is hoping for a helping hand from far and wide, adding: "It is quite an isolated church but it's well supported. A local farmer put water into the church and others have paid for our electricity before.
"We are hoping people who have used the church, who have got married or been baptised there, or indeed been to a funeral at the church, will support us.
"We want to reach out to the wider church community."
To make a donation, or help with fundraising, contact Mrs Shillam on 01603 211629 or email@example.com, Catherine Howe on 01603 270360 or email@example.com or donate at www.hemblingtonchurch.org.uk

The country already has enough old buildings if they cant afford to fix it knock it down. Survival of the fittest.

The church is one of the biggest tax avoidance scams going, using land stolen from the people in days gone by, by using threats of going to hell etc. If they can afford to loose £800 million on the black Wednesday crash, then they can afford £19,000 for repairs to this and other churches instead of keep holding out the begging bowl.

£19000 bill, 25 parishioners, works out at £760 per parishioner. If these people wish to believe in this medieval mythology then they can pay. Those of us, clearly the vast majority, or 25 would be many more, will not, simple as that. I already pay chancel repair liability insurance to protect me from some vicar coming cap in hand to my home, that alone is bad enough. If said vicar ever does appear he, or she, will have a disappointing day, to say the least!

Ah, the Black Monday when the Church Commissioners performed better than the FTSE. And maybe, if there had not been the pension fund tax every year since 1997 (opposed by yet continued by the present government) there would be funds available beyond paying pensions for retired clergy. I look forward to your stewardship of the national finances.

Interesting thoughts on state ownership of church buildings. This is what they do in Germany and every tax payer contributes. The UK government has cut funding for Church buildings so it ain't gonna happen. I would close all Churches and worship in school halls etc. They are warm and dry and some one else repairs them. The rent would be far cheaper. However, when Churches choose to close the objections come from those who don't come! And, the Churches Conservation Trust appeared on the "bonfire of quango's" announced by "call me Dave" in 2010 - so closing the place does not actually achieve anything as far as local costs go. Delighted to read that 'v' has a long memory and has never made a decision that has been regretted or shown to be ill-advised. Would this be the same Black Wednesday that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the entire might of the treasury infra-structure and every UK bank got wrong? 'V' - we need you running the country so please stand for election. I will vote for you.

Yes, I would agree with Daisy Roots except that 1. English Heritage no longer fund church repairs and have not done so for many years. This government cut the budget and until Sept last year EH administered HLF money. The latest government cut eliminated the EH staff that did this work – so EH have no involvement at all. 2. HLF will fund church repairs but the programme only opened last week with the first round of applications finishing on 28th Feb. There is then a decision making process and a twelve month project development process. 3. I do not know the financial position of the Diocese of Norwich. I am not aware that there has ever been central CofE support for repair of Church Buildings (and it is a field in which I have worked for 21 years this coming Saturday). 4. There are other grants available and the parish would be well advised to follow these up.

Maybe the church could afford to pay for it if they only didnt have to pay out to all the claims of child abuse.

There is a simple solution. If these church goers really do believe that the universe is run by a benevolent supernatural cosmic enitity, as prescribed in their Bible, then they should simply ask it to repair their church. If nothing happens, they can conclude that their imaginary friend is either a) not benevolent, or b) does not exist. If so, they should renounce their medieval cult, and hand over this beautiful historic building for the taxpayer to maintain. On the other hand, if their deity does decide to repair it, we can all rejoice and be thankful.

V has helpfully omitted the liabilities side of the equation that relates to pensions. I leave him to compute that sum and publish it. Windup raises a matter that has concerned the church for a number of years - indeeed, ever since the Heritage Lottery Fund dictated that these liabilities had to be reactivated. The Church has managed to get legislation passed that limits them and has also got charity commission agreement that if the relevant church councils do not register the members will not be deemed negligent. They belong in the past and never should have been there in the first place. When I bought an industrial park for a charity our insurance premium was £53.00 and that covered the risk indefinately. I would hope that 'said Vicar' would never call on such a matter as that is what the insurance cover deals with. I also happen to agree with your financial summary - we manage that where in this part of the country so why not in Norfolk?

www.guardian.co.ukbusiness2010jan25church-loses-40m-in-new-york >>> 5.7 BILLION in investments in 2007 down to 4.4 BILLION in 2008. Sell these investments off and repair the churches. Like I said the Church is one big tax avoidance scam.
Thursday, January 3, 2013
Surely the tower, being round, is older than that? In any case, such an old building should be listed and protected and its care paid for by the C of E ( which can afford to look after its buildings) and English Heritage and even the National Lottery fund. Looking after the buildings which were the centre of our village lives for hundreds of years, no matter what their purpose, should be important and the cost is trivial in the general scheme of things. Certainly more important thanfunding the fancy houses built by corrupt administrators with our foreign aid payments.

What do software developers do?
Software developers create computer applications or systems software. According to the IEEE Computer Society, software development is distinct from software engineering in its emphasis on the iterative process of developing software rather than the initial research and design phase. Developers are involved with a software product from start to finish, identifying user requirements and operational specifications, coding the program's components and testing the product.
- Applications developers often work on a team, developing specialized utilities and end-user apps in collaboration with database developers.
- Systems developers produce software for operating systems, including compilers and network distribution programs.
As the high-tech sector matures, the role of software developers is evolving. While all developers apply the principles of computer science and mathematical analysis to the creation of computer programs, this discipline takes many forms in practice.
Many developers specialize in a specific type of program, such as systems software, productivity applications, enterprise software, mobile apps or computer games. The required skill set depends in part on the developer's specialization. Developers who create enterprise intelligence, modeling and integration applications, for example, may rely on SAS programming expertise. Mobile app developers may need to be familiar with Java or C++. Work methodologies also differ by specialty; some developers work within a waterfall process model, while others are skilled in so-called agile or "extreme" models.
What is the job outlook for software developers?
Software developers have been spared the jobs outsourcing that decimated the programming job market. The tech recruiting site WetFeet.com predicts that "software projects -- especially those with tight deadlines, rapidly changing requirements, and applications specific to American regulations and culture -- will stay in this country," while Dice.com adds, "Job seekers who have the mind-set of an engineer coupled with an ability to ensure technology is aligned with business needs are the kind of technologists companies seek to fill jobs." As Mark Diamond of consulting firm Coutoural points out, the top software engineering jobs will "require a comprehensive view of how systems work together and how technology aligns with business needs."
The U.S. Department of Labor agrees. Job prospects in software engineering for the 2008-2018 decade are rated excellent, with 32 percent job growth expected. Computer programmers, by contrast, can expect a 3 percent decline, due in large part to outsourcing.
Developers with both management and technical expertise should fare the best in tomorrow's job market. Key areas for job growth include Web development, electronic data-processing systems software, secure software applications and systems, mobile apps and mobile networking technology.
What is the salary for software developers?
Software developers command just under $100,000, according to various salary surveys. ComputerWorld's Salary Survey 2011 records an average 2010 income (salary and bonus) of $86,395 for U.S. software developers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics generalizes its developer salary data to include software engineers; in 2009, software applications engineers and developers earned a median wage of $90,170, while systems engineers and developers earned $96,620. Salary.com estimates the median salary for an intermediate-level software developer at $75,350, including bonus.
What training or certification is needed to become a software developer?
Formal training is a requirement for a career in software development. A bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering or information systems generally serves as the entry point into a software development career. Some developers advance their careers with a master's degree in engineering or management information systems.
Continuing education allows developers to keep pace with advances in technology. Training and certification programs focus on particular vendor technologies or development skills. Key developer certifications include:
- SAS: The SAS Certified Base Programmer and SAS Certified Advanced Programmer certifications are especially relevant for business software developers. SAS ranked as the #1 certified skill according to eWeek.
- Siebel: Siebel 7.7 Certified Consultant (SCC) and Siebel 8 Consultant Certified Expert are among the certifications that have been gaining in market value, according to Foote Partners.
- Oracle: Oracle manages certifications in the Java programming language. Formerly Sun Certified Java Developer (SCJD), the new class of Oracle certifications include: Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 5/SE and Oracle Certified Professional in Java. Specialty certifications exist for Web component developers, Web services developers, business component developers and mobile application developers.
- Microsoft: Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) certification demonstrates a developer's expertise with the popular .NET programming framework.
Skilled software developers are in high demand across the economy. In addition to software publishers and tech companies, many enterprises employ in-house developers to build internal software solutions. Training in software development offers a versatile skill set for career opportunities in today's technology-driven economy.

Little Maestros
Three-year-old Ellie is clearly happy to be at her "Music Together" class with her mom. After all, the weekly gathering in an airy room at the Armstrong Community Music School of Austin Lyric Opera in Texas is tailor-made to strike a chord with preschoolers. The 10 kids and their parents play with an assortment of music makers -- drums, tambourines, maracas, bells. They twirl beribboned sticks, sing along with teacher Jeane Burks's piano medley, and with a chorus of giggles, march around the room.
Burks's classes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers help them expand their range of tones and rhythms. She sings out instructions throughout the class, noting that children remember things better when information is set to a tune. To improve melodic range and mouth movement, students imitate her funny noises and sing a nonsense rhyme accompanied by movement and clapping. "Parents, when you're at home, be sure to take advantage of whatever sounds and rhythms your child makes," she advises. Music selections in class run the gamut from lullabies to reggae; Burks believes the type isn't important, as long as it's something both parents and kids know and enjoy. Providing diverse music types helps young children express emotions and moods, she says.
Ellie smiles broadly throughout the class but only joins in the dancing and singing a few times. Yet neither Burks nor Ellie's mother, Wynne Prager, is concerned. "She's sometimes reserved at class, but when she gets home, it's like a Broadway show," says Prager. "She puts on her dress-up clothes and belts out every word of every song."

This is a very common question I get from my female patients, both young and old. Many seem convinced that cranberry juice or pills can stop a urinary tract infection (UTI) in its tracks when they feel it coming on, or take cranberry to prevent them. Well…they may not be wrong.
After many years of grandma's advice, in 1994 a study was done on elderly women who consumed 300 ml of cranberry juice for three months and showed less bacterial counts in the urine. This is where the whole cranberry-UTI link picked up some steam. But there is more...
I used to tell patients that cranberry juice or pills can improve the acidity of the urine, and acid is a natural defense against bacteria. Common sense would dictate that more acid is better, and cranberries are a good source. Correct? Cranberry juice however may contain a lot of sugar, and it may require drinking A LOT of it to get the effect. This isn't necessarily good for diabetics or those watching their weight. Cranberry pills may be helpful, but how many should you take to get the desired effect?
Not too long ago, a well designed study showed a trend, but no significant improvement in preventing UTIs with cranberry, and cranberry products, however, have not been shown to significantly reduce acidity. So now what?
Cranberry is seen as a natural element people can take, in order to prevent overconsuming antibiotics. Antibiotics help, but they must be tailored to the infection, and be given at the right dose, for enough period of time to prevent recurrence, persistence or development of resistance by the bacteria. However, there are women who are most susceptible to bacterial adherence, and certain bacteria are more likely to stick to the body surfaces than others.
So, what's so special about cranberries?
In raw cranberries there are at least six chemical compounds that can interfere with bacterial adherence to the body. These compounds modify the surface properties of the bacteria to make them less sticky to the lining of the bladder.
The latest research, according to several articles I have read including from the Mayo clinic, indicates that cranberry juice or pomegranate juice is an effective PREVENTIVE treatment for UTI; however, once a UTI has taken hold and a person actually has the pain sensation with urination, there is no recourse except treatment with antibiotics. Also, the latest opinion is that not that much cranberry juice is needed to prevent a UTI; these studies indicated that as little as 6 oz a day was all that was needed to stave off UTI. So, it certainly won't hurt to drink 6 to 8 oz. of cranberry or pomegranate juice a day (unless you're allergic to it!), and research indicates it provides effective preventive treatment; although, since people vary, some may find they have to drink a bit more.
May 17, 2012 - 4:13pmI find it strange in this case to tell a patient 10-16 ounces for dosing, because most patients might be buying the bigger containers of cranberry juice instead of the smaller juice bottles when using it for prevention. Perhaps, it would be helpful to tell the patient that 10-16 ounces is about 1 1/4 cup - 2 cups, this way they have more of an idea how much they should drink. We the patient of UTI shoull use ADULT DIAPERS to safe.Nevertheless, good job on the post! I'm loving the self care info and when to refer! :)
March 5, 2012 - 11:37amThe fact that vitamin C was used in the placebo group and that cranberry juice contains vitamin C is very important in this trial and could certainly explain why there was such a low incidence of UTI recurrence. Natural Standard, a complementary and alternative medicine information database, examines evidence for both cranberry juice and vitamin C for it's use in UTI's. Cranberry juice is a popular urinary tract infection home remedy for treating and preventing bladder infections.
Sure cranberry juice can help you avoid urinary tract infections and it might be a good idea to replace your morning OJ with cranberry juice. But it isn't a cure all. The symptoms of UTIs – urinary frequency, urgency and pain – can also be caused by other problems such as kidney stones and even bladder cancer.
I take the supplement ellura, which is the only urinary health supplement in the world that delivers the clinically proven effective daily dosage to maintain a healthy urinary tract of 36 mgs of PACs (the bioactive material in cranberries that helps flush bacteria) in one capsule. I'm not a big juice drinker, so it's good to know that there are alternatives to drinking cranberry juice.
[website link removed by EmpowHER moderator]
I work in a nursing home and everyone is on a cranberry pill two times a day. WE still have residents with UTI's like crazy I am very septical 20 residents take it 2 times daily. We average 4 UTI's a week.
July 3, 2010 - 6:17pmA handful of 'Craisins' dried, sweetened cranberries every day or every few days has worked for me.
If I stop eating them for a few weeks, I usually get a UTI and am on antibiotics - as I used to be before my grandmother (...yes it really was her...) put me onto Craisins.
I can't tell you how happy I am to have found this prevention and yes, I agree with anonymous above, once I've got the UTI, cranberries do nothing, only antibiotics will do :(
Anon - That's a great tip. Please thank your grandmother for us. :-) Pat
February 15, 2010 - 5:41pmI used to get UTIs four times a year. And it even worsened in the first half of this year. And then a urologist checked me left and right, even the kidney, and found no problems at all. He told me some women go through cycles in their body, and this may be one of them. He prescribed me antibiotics to take whenever I feel it's coming. Usually it helps but after I stopped taking them, the UTI came back sooner or later. So i started to drink cranberry juice religiously, almost one bottle every day. Simple Ocean Sray LIGHT Cranberry Juice. It helps! it contains 27% juice in it, and seems to work. I haven't had an UTI for almost four months, and hopefully it continues that way! I don't like the sourness and sugar in the juice at all, but it's better than antibiotics and the pain UTI brings.
December 1, 2009 - 3:54pmWhat I meant by going and getting juice- was simply going to get some cranberry help. YOu would have to drink 16oz of cranberry juice 2 or 3 times a day- whereas 2 cranberry pills twice a day will usually do the trick. -Matthew Karlovsky, M.D.
August 7, 2009 - 5:57amI've been using a pee pill for 10 years now, asthma. I noticed yesterday my body felt like it had been beatin with a stick, especially around the rib cage. After not using Advair for a month, I decided to try anything and used it. An hour later I was peeing stronger than ever, and my muscle aches subsided. My left leg is 201/2" wide below the knee, my skin is nearing the ucler state. I can't move to exercise, thought I be alright till my body begin to hurt too.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)How one man started a movement by standing still
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
June 19th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Protesters across Turkey have changed tactics. Instead of yelling at police and shouting slogans, they are starting to stand quiet and still, and are finding that their voices are now louder than ever before. ISTANBUL, TURKEY (Catholic Online) - Protesters in Turkey have learned a new form of protest - standing still. The shift in tactics was started by performance artist Erdem Gunduz, who spent several hours standing silently in Taksim Square in the city center on Monday night.By doing so, Gunduz was defying orders from the president and police to clear the park. Over the weekend, protesters were cleared from the park, but pedestrians can still enter. Now some of those pedestrians are following his example and standing silently in the park. His revolutionary form of protest caught on social media and went viral. Within hours, others were joining him and starting their own versions standing defiant at other locations across the country. Gunduz stood silently staring at an image of Turkey's founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk is widely regarded for imposing secular values on the largely Muslim nation, making Turkey one of the freest societies of the entire Middle East. An hour into his protest, police arrived and searched his pockets and his backpack. Finding nothing, they left. By Tuesday morning, police had returned and rounded up several of the protesters. Later in the day on Tuesday, people returned and resumed their silent protests. Over the weekend, national media showed protesters being cleared from Taksim Square, clashing with police as they advanced. The video wasn't flattering for the protesters. However, now police have a new problem. It's easy to clear shouting, defiant protesters while the cameras roll. It's another thing to clear protesters who are doing nothing more than standing still. The challenge comes following a weekend pledge from Interior Minister Muammer Guler that those protests that did not threaten public order would be permitted. Now, here is a protest that threatens nothing. What will the police do now? A great new movement has started in Turkey, started by one man, standing still.

Myosin V is a double-headed molecular motor involved in organelle transport. Two distinctive features of this motor, processivity and the ability to take extended linear steps of approximately 36 nm along the actin helical track, depend on its unusually long light chain-binding domain (LCBD). The LCBD of myosin V consists of six tandem IQ motifs, which constitute the binding sites for calmodulin (CaM) and CaM-like light chains. Here, we report the 2-A resolution crystal structure of myosin light chain 1 (Mlc1p) bound to the IQ2-IQ3 fragment of Myo2p, a myosin V from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This structure, combined with FRET distance measurements between probes in various CaM-IQ complexes, comparative sequence analysis, and the previously determined structures of Mlc1p-IQ2 and Mlc1p-IQ4, allowed building a model of the LCBD of myosin V. The IQs of myosin V are distributed into three pairs. There appear to be specific cooperative interactions between light chains within each IQ pair, but little or no interaction between pairs, providing flexibility at their junctions. The second and third IQ pairs each present a light chain, whether CaM or a CaM-related molecule, bound in a noncanonical extended conformation in which the N-lobe does not interact with the IQ motif. The resulting free N-lobes may engage in protein-protein interactions. The extended conformation is characteristic of the single IQ of myosin VI and is common throughout the myosin superfamily. The model points to a prominent role of the LCBD in the function, regulation, and molecular interactions of myosin V.

Original Message
You want to know what this Dallas November 2003 thread is all about and how it ties to South Carolina and Mark Sanford..... here it is......
Re: ANYONE WITH INFO ON VERY BIZARRE HAPPENINGS IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2003 IN DALLAS/FORT WORTH TX PLEASE HELP!! Quote
I, for one, believe the OP saw exactly what she says she saw.
But it is getting frustrating to have so many posters coming on here and saying that that she did indeed see something special. None of them have told her exactly who the man is and what he is about!
Posters are pretending to be in the know but only offer further mystery. Just spit it out. Who is he? What is he about? Is he JC, antiChrist, witness, alien, hybrid or what??? Stop all the "oh, yes he's special and you will know someday" bullshit and say it how it is!
It's getting irritating and it's not even interesting anymore. The poor OP must be very frustrated by all the riddles and mystery crap.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 505912
Ok. I understand your frustration.
I will say ALL I know but if you don't believe me, it is on you.
You all must understand that this mystery guy is connected to groups most of you deny exist. He IS living in South Carolina. He is there right now. 100% positive. When I say groups you deny exist, the first thing that popped into your head was illuminati or NWO type groups..right? Not so. When I say groups you deny I mean ones that are REALLY in control. Ones that aren't Earth bound. Keep your BS flags tucked. You want to know the truth about this thread, well I am telling it. If it doesn't fit into your easily explained away life then why are you even reading this thread with interest. Especially 22 pages later.
What the OP saw was not just some event. It was a major event. It was what some might call ordained. If I lose some of you now, well, leave. You asked, I am telling. If you ask my credentials on this matter I will tell you that I am in the know...somewhat. I have been in the shadow groups for a long time and have been hearing rumors about this guy even before this all happened. See, there is this thing called prophecy. They have know this guy was coming before he came. You know the crazy kind of law that the illuminati sort of adheres to that states "they must tell you about it first before they do it to you then it's ok"? Well, that is how these prophesies work that TPTB have found all over the world in carvings, paintings, scripts, books, etc. etc. I was told by someone very high up in the dark circles that this guy would arrive and there is nothing they can do about it. He said they were fighting the "HAND OF GOD".
What you all fail to understand is that there are quite a few members and former members of these dark circles that know about this thread and really just want the hell out. They are afraid. They denied there was actually someone or thing out there more powerful than them and whom they follow until they found this guy they cannot kill. Now they cannot even come near him. He is protected not by armed men standing by the window. He is protected by beings far above what most even believe in. He has 24 hour covering 7 days a week all year round. There is more UFO activity over wherever he is at any given time than almost anywhere else in the world. This would require you to believe in the fact that we have crafts within our atmosphere that are not from here. Guess what? We do. Have forever. They watch. They protect. They watch and protect him.
This guy has had contact with these watchers for years. He is completely aware of his protection. It is massive. What happened in Dallas was everything OP says and more. The ones coming on here making statements to that affect, including me, are speaking the truth. They know it is coming out anyway and some have told me they want to try and do something good to somehow rectify all the bad they have been involved in. I know this all sounds crazy but doesn't lights shooting into a pool, with hoards of birds, and a crazed guy throwing furniture across lobbies? It is not normal because it is out of the norm. This guy is out of the norm. He is in his early 40's. He is tall and dark haired and good looking. He has been watched by all sides since birth. He is American. He has bloodline that is BOTH sides. His bloodline mixture is very unique. He actually comes (partly) from one of the 13 illuminati families that you can google. The other part, well, that is another matter. I have actually heard that his mother was put to sleep and then artificially inseminated. I know.. crazy. I cannot verify this, just a rumor that will not go away amongst the circles.
Speaking of which, they are very afraid of this guy. I mean very. This guy has been talking about enlightenment and ascension for years and a lot of people he knows personally think that he is somewhat crazy. They are also very aware of his brilliance. I have heard rumors that his I.Q. is off the charts. I saw where another, that I suspect is in the know, say this exact thing earlier. I have heard this for years. The reason TPTB fear him so is that anything or anyone that at any time can have more actual power than them, can expose them and cast them out of the palace. The ones within the circles that had been systematically controlled to believe in nothing but their own power have had to come to a rude awakening. This event in Dallas was the death knell for their denial in a higher power. All the things the OP saw were real. The black SUV's were NWO agents and operatives who had come to town just to see all this. They were warned that he was in Dallas and some were actually trying to kill him. They actually threw him out of a speeding van on a major interstate near the airport. They were going to try and take him somewhere and kill him. All of the guys in the van were Iranian. That is what I was told.
The guy at the airport that was Asian was Chinese. There was a planned false flag at DFW that this mystery guy stopped. He knew about it. He was led there. He had the shit beat out of him and escaped. When he got to the airport he confronted lots of people and didn't really care who saw him. Obviously. They didn't arrest him because at that time he was what some in the circles call 'ON'. They say that when someone that is prophesied about comes into his calling that he has moments when he is actually activated. Yes enlightened. Many men throughout scriptures could do miraculous things but then seemed to go back to normal. It is something to that effect from what I have been told. Well, this Chinese man was no ordinary Joe. He was at the pinnacle of the circles within China. They are now VERY aware of the existence of mister mystery. They know his name. They know where he is. They know where he lives. They know what he eats. They know there isn't a damn thing they can do about it but wait. TPTB are completely and totally perplexed over what to do. For reason they do not know, everything they keep attempting to do to bring about world martial law, or at least in the US, has been thwarted. So much so that those within are now saying it is not going to happen. They are saying that this guy is going to ascend. They are saying that infighting over causing diversion (i.e.- pandemics, weather wars, even WW3) has escalated to the highest degree. Mass panic is taking place behind the scenes.
If he ascends, and proves humans are a LOT more than we have been conditioned to believe, the game is over. He will be invincible. Literally. Sounds crazy, I know. But you asked for the truth. The truth is weird. The reason the craziness is escalating within South Carolina is because this guy is there. It is his home. It was where he was born. The governor there may not know to the full extent about this guy. I was told he does then I was told he does not. He is, however, aware he is there. They have blackmailed Sanford. They have killed the attorney to make a point. The ones coming on here that are being matter of fact but vague are doing so because they are scared. I am somewhat protected and actually being allowed to say all this. I also saw where another said the same. I believe them. Lots of people within the circles want out and figure if many make a break at the same time they can't stop everyone. Even if dirty laundry gets aired, there will be so much that theirs won't be the only hanging in the breeze. Trust me though, this laundry is not only dirty...it is coated with blood.

Two Tips on Form
When performing a triceps pushdown, do not extend your wrists so that your palms face the floor while pushing the bar down. Rather, your palms should face your thighs, which will place less stress on the elbow joint.
When it comes to bench pressing , don't make like a pro. Some competitive weightlifters arch their backs in order to get maximum power for the ONE repetition they're judged on. For most of us -- who are building strength through multiple repetitions and sets -- proper form requires keeping the back on the bench while lifting the barbell.

4 great :)WonderWoman999 | 17/02/2013 | See all WonderWoman999's reviews (2)love this album and the catchy tunes, yes she has some similarities to Rihanna but this album has her own individual stamp on it :)
4 Great albumSkyesMum | 24/11/2012 | See all SkyesMum's reviews (86)This album is great - not wonderful or fantastic - but a great album nonetheless. I've enjoyed the released tracks from Rita Ora so far, and so got the album to listen to. There are the odd tracks that I personally aren't too bothered about (no doubt others will have a totally different perception), but for the most part the songs continue to be catchy and erally enjoyable!

Mattress was delivered as ordered. I got the soft which I'm glad I did because it isn't extremely soft. I got soft based on other reviews. Very comfortable. XL is 6" longer than standard which is great and regular twin sheets fit it as well.
After having slept on this bed for a few weeks now, I completely agree with all of the positive comments everyone else has made. I purposely chose this particular model because it allowed me to choose the firmness. I chose the soft and for me, it was perfect; not too soft, not too hard and oh so comfy. I was also amazed that I could actually get this mattress mailed to be in a tidy package and easily unroll it on my own and have it ready to use. I actually look forward to sleeping on it every night. It has made a difference in my mood when I wake up and it has certainly helped with all of those little aches and pains and stick neck issues. I was nervous to make an expensive purchase over the internet, but I'm really glad I did.
We purchased this product for my husband who suffers from a disease called R.S.D. What we actually did was replace the horrible plastic mattress that was on his hospital bed with this one. My husband suffers terrible pain all day and night and the mornings are particually hard on him from staying in one position due to the need of a CPAP machine for sleep apnea. He would actually cry when first moving in the mornings but with this mattress it has helped to make his mornings just a little more bearable and we are so thankful for that. I even love to get a chance to just lay down on his bed for a short nap since I have a bad back and neck problems myself and helping him move around and pushing and getting him into and out of his wheelchair is difficult. It arrived so promptly and we had a great laugh watching it rise after unpacking it, lol.
This mattress is very comfortable. Since I started sleeping on it I don't have near as many body aches as before and that was on a $1000 mattress. I have another bed that is needing a new mattress so I will be buying another of these
I ordered my mattress as "soft", but it was not quite as soft as I had expected. If you want a bed that is soft enough to "sink" into, you should probably go with something else. However, if you are on a budget and you need one with the perfect amount of support, look no further.
Not what I expected - it's a thick piece of foam. No fabric, no coils. That being said, my son thinks it's very comfortable and it seemed reasonably priced.
This mattress was so much better than I expected. It was very comfortable and was meant to be the mattress on a trundle bed but my daughter loved it more than the current mattress so we switched them! Highly recommend.
We bought this to go on the trundle bed we bought through overstock because reviews recommended XL mattress (for top part). They were correct! It fit perfect.
I have a craftmatic bed and needed a new mattress size twin XL. This mattress is so very comfortable. I was having morning back pain, and this mattress has eliminated that pain. I did not go with the softest, but went up one step. I'm very happy with the amount of firmness in the mattress. This mattress bends well when I raise the head and foot of the bed and goes back to it's shape when the bed is horizontal again. I was able to unload the mattress from the wrapping by myself and put the mattress on the box spring, but I'm not sure I could have done this if it was a larger size mattress. It is rather heavy.
I am very pleased with this purchase. It has an attractive cover. The mattress expanded to the full thickness within a couple of hours. The foam mattress did not have any odor, I will definitely recommend this product to family and friends. It is well worth the purchase price.

Love this! You can also use the new plastic coffee containers with the handles. Stickers work on them. Add dried beans or rice to inside for shaker.

What focus & concentration during the painting process! You'll love those photos in twenty years. You may just be creating another drummer in the process.
Happy exploring!

I love the look of concentration as the little one paints! Fabulous tin cans drums!!
Thank you for stopping by at Kids Get Crafty!

My kids love to play music! We have used ice cream buckets to make drums, but I think the tin cans would give such a different sound; we might have to try this when we get home from vacation!
Kristin @ Preschool Universe says
These turned out great – what a fantastic and creative father's day gift!
Toddler Approved says
Love this idea. I never realized that the tops of drums like these were just made from balloons.
We are totally going to try this with a can that we painted earlier today. My little guy is a drumming maniac just like his dad too!

Very cute! :) Thanks for adding this to High paw Jamie! New linky will be up very shortly so stop by and link something again. :)
Jenna says
I LOVE this. Daddy in the house is not only a drummer but owns a drum shop & our little lady loves drumming with him…what a fun idea. I know Daddy, little lady & baby boy will have fun playing with these…we'll probably take them to gigs when it's a kid friendly place so she can play with him (like she does at every gig she goes too!) Thanks for the idea!!
