DIY Paper CLAY Bowls: Paper clay is my new papier-mâché. It is the same idea — paper infused with some sort of stiffener — but paper clay looks as if it is ceramic, with the strength of papier-mâché. The best part is its beautiful white color once it is dry — great for so many summer-inspired projects.

Melted Crayon Easter Eggs! Soooo neat! Here are the steps I took with my kids to create Colorful Easter Eggs Using Melted Crayons… Supplies Needed: Eggs (steps to hard boil the eggs are below) A colorful collection of crayons To start off… 1.Put the eggs in a pot and fill the pot with cold water so it covers the eggs about 1-2″. 2.Once the eggs come to a full boil, remove the pot from the stove and cover for 12 minutes (so they create a hard-boiled egg). 3.Carefully remove the eggs from the pot and let them stand for about 1-2 minutes (the eggs will be very hot, so be sure to use tongs when removing them from the pot). Here comes the fun part… 4. Using crayons, start drawing on your egg. Be creative. Get the kids involved. It's a lot of fun to try different patterns and to mix the colors. For our eggs, I used one color as the base, then added another color on top. I smudged in the background hue which gave a fun, swirly look. Because of the hot exterior of the egg, the crayon will melt on the egg's surface. Once your masterpiece is finished, gently place the egg into the original egg holder and place it into the refrigerator. After a few minutes they will be cool and the decorated eggs can be handled and displayed as you'd like.
.Fun idea for Easter egg coloring
Create colorful EASTER EGGS using Melted Crayons..... eggs DON'T need to be hot. So no little fingers get burnt, you can just color on the egg after it's completely cooled and then dip in food coloring. If you use a white crayon, it's like a magic picture appears. We used white crayons when I was little.

Tag Archives: french knitting Toilet Paper Roll Knitting Nancy Idea #5: Chic Winter Doll Accessories Posted on January 24, 2012 | 4 Comments Dolly loves to pull her hair back, but she doesn't like her ears to get cold, so this combination headband/ear warmer is perfect for her. She thinks the pom-poms add just the right touch. Dolly embraces her youthful, somewhat old-fashioned style and appreciates how it sets her apart from some of the newer dolls in the household (many from faraway lands – yet oddly, almost all blondes). Piper is from Australia. She's a beach girl who hates to cover up, but she will agree to a scarf now and then and she likes this one because it looks so good with her orange Ugg boots. (Which the other dolls will tell you she wears all the time – even when it's not cold out.) Nicolette is from France, so she knows the true value of a hat. Hats keep her head warm of course, but she also wears them to up the style quotient of any outfit. This purple one was knit just for her on a special double-wide, 18 (!) popsicle stick toilet paper roll nancy. Project Notes The headband/ear warmer was knit on a 6 popsicle stick toilet paper roll knitting nancy with an acrylic yarn from Michael's (store brand) called Country Loom. It's a super bulky yarn. I knit a 10″ tube on the nancy and left tails on both ends of the tube about 7″ long. I made two small pom-poms with my Clover pom-pom kit (mine is an older version; it amazes me that they keep redesigning these!) and attached them to the end of each tail of my knitted tube with a surgeon's knot (this beading page has a good illustration). Use a pom-pom tail from the start or end of your wrapping to tie your knot, not one from the piece of yarn you used to tie around your pom-pom when you completed your wrapping. Tie the knot very close to the pom-pom and trim all remaining long ends or the whole darn pom-pom if it is too big. The fringed scarf was also knit on a 6 popsicle stick toilet paper roll nancy with another acrylic yarn that came from Michael's, a bulky from Bernat called Softee Chunky Twists. I knit a 25″ length of tube and then cut 12, seven-inch long pieces of yarn that I bundled into groups of three. I tied two sets of three pieces of yarn to each end of the scarf as shown below. Then I wove in both tails of my tube a bit and trimmed them. The hat. Well, let me first tell you how I made the nancy. I took two toilet paper rolls and cut each one open down the entire length of the roll. Then I trimmed each piece cross-wise, so they were only about 2.5″ long. Next, I placed a piece of double-sided tape along the end of one cut length of toilet paper roll. I attached one end of the other piece to that and did the same thing to attach the other two cut ends and that's how I made a double-wide toilet paper roll nancy. Well, almost. Then I wrapped a piece of double-sided tape cross-wise around the expanded toilet paper roll and proceeded to place popsicle sticks (fairly closely) around the roll. Next I wrapped a piece of colored plastic tape cross-wise around the outside of those sticks and I wound up with something that looked like this: I knit 14 or 15 rows around and then used a separate piece of yarn that I threaded through each of the loops remaining on the nancy. I used a plastic yarn needle to do this and brought my yarn up through the bottom of each loop as shown: Then I slipped those loops off the sticks and pulled both ends of the threaded yarn to gather the top of the hat. I tied those ends together and wove all loose ends in before trimming them. Nicolette likes to wear the hat wrong side out.

Knit a short length of different materials with your toilet paper roll nancy, and they will likely tell you what they want to become. Some turn out to be duds, but this one (knit from some leftover chenille-type yarn) turned out pretty well. Here's another wreath below done up in pink wool. Wool works great for these; it forms a nice springy wreath. These wreaths are made just like the chains in Idea #1. Knit about a 4-1/2″ length tube using the yarn of your choice and your toilet paper roll knitting nancy. When you reach the desired length, cut your yarn leaving at least a 6″ tail. Thread that tail through each loop you remove from your nancy and pull up tight. Pull the tail at the other end of your tube up tight as well and tie both tails together with a surgeon's knot (this beading page has a good illustration) to form your wreath. Trim both ends to about 3/4″. Use about a 6″ length of ribbon to form a band around the top of your wreath. Tie a knot to secure the ribbon band. This will serve as the anchor for your bow. Slip a longer piece of ribbon through the non-knotted side of the ribbon band you just made and tie a bow. Adjust your bow, trim your ends, and you are ready to use your ornament to decorate a gift or whatever you choose.

And if not a cinch, at least a fairly tight hold. Still, they are lovely, aren't they? Like jewelry for the table. This is the same cord I used for the garland in Idea #1. I knit it in approximately 4″ lengths and attached one end of the metal leaf metallic clasps to each tail end by tying a packer's knot (click here). I trimmed the ends to about 1/2″ and didn't bother with trying to hide them. The clasp really makes this project. I found it at my local Michael's and purchased all three that they had left in stock. The colors of the metal work perfectly with the cord. If you want to try to find them they are called specialty findings, are designed by Jill MacKay, and come from Bead Landing. I had to glue two magnets back onto the clasps, but other than that they're great.

The sample that I knit above just seemed to scream "handle", so that's what it became. I'm pretty excited about this idea. It's so easy, so useful, and it looks good too. Then there are all the material possibilities: real or faux leather or suede cord, twine, mason line – you name it. Now I just need to look for places where I need handles. Perhaps on either side of a storage box or even used as drawer pulls. Keep in mind that if you use only four evenly spaced popsicle sticks on your toilet paper roll nancy, your knitted tube will not be round; it will be square. The loops that you form on each stick will make the four corners of a square tube. That could make for an interesting handle, couldn't it? I attached this handle to an inexpensive round box made in the Philippines that I found at Michael's. I used my sewing awl to put holes in the box top and then I threaded the twine tails of my handle through them and tied knots in the tails on the inside of the box to secure the handle. If I get very ambitious I may cut out those little international Santa figures and decoupage them around the perimeter of the box. But I doubt I would have the patience for that unless I were sick in bed and I sure hope that doesn't happen again between now and Christmas. Those Santa pictures are from the packaging for a set of lunch sack size paper bags Ikea is selling now. They are very charming. The wrapping paper underneath is also from Ikea.

I'd been getting ideas and collecting a few different materials and then last week when I went into Anthropologie I saw this big upside down Christmas tree suspended from the ceiling of the store that I couldn't really appreciate until I got a closer look and discovered that the wool garland on the tree appeared to be made with – what else – a knitting nancy! What a brilliant idea. So simple, so straightforward. My young friend who was the recipient of one of those toilet paper roll nancys from last summer knit quite a long tube with hers. I don't know what's become of it, but here's one way to put it to use. The Upside Down Christmas Tree I love paper chains as garlands, so I decided to make up a chain garland using knit tubes. This is a great way to use up leftover yarn and that's exactly what I did. To make the chain, I knit tubes that extended about an inch below the bottom of my toilet paper roll. Each tube was approximately 5.5″ long. When I finished my last round on the nancy, I cut my yarn – leaving about a 6″ tail. I removed the loops from the popsicle sticks one at a time and threaded that tail through each loop. Then I pulled the loops on that tail up tight, pulled the tail up tight on the other end, brought the two ends together to form a ring, and tied a knot with both tails of yarn. I used a regular square knot and pulled very tight, as these knots can come undone. If you're concerned about that, putting an extra twist in the first step of your square knot (surgeon's knot, I believe) should make for a more secure knot. You can either knit all your tubes before you construct your chain or construct it as you go. Either way, remember that once you've formed your first ring, all other rings must be formed around the previous ring to make your chain. I clipped my yarn tails about 1/4″ from the knots and didn't bother trying to hide them too much. The golden garland is pretty, isn't it? That's just plain knitting on the toilet paper roll nancy. I found the cord at Jo-Ann's. It's Darice metallic cord for plastic canvas in beige/silver. It looks like jewelry when it's knit. I have another project using this cord that I'll show you soon. This kind of knitting is not just for kids. Yesterday I was sidelined by a bad cold, so I took to my bed with my knitting nancy and a cup of tea and I could still feel productive. I highly recommend it. For additional information on how to knit with knitting nancys or how to make your own, click on the link at the top of this post. You might also want to see Poly Cord Drawstring Bag, Part 2. → 4 Comments Posted in Christmas, Kid Stuff, Knitting Tagged french knitting, knit garlands, spool knitting, toilet paper roll knitting nancy Attack of the Knitting Nancys Posted on June 17, 2011 | 9 Comments Knitting Nancys (a.k.a. French knitters, knitting nobbys, spool knitters, etc.) have become something of an obsession for me this week. I've been thinking about what to include in a beginning knitting class for kids that I might teach at Sam's school next fall, so I purchased one at the Bobbin's Nest in Santa Clara last month. I never got around to trying it, however (the directions seemed daunting), until I found this Giant Knitting Nancy by UK design company Superblue in a recent Vogue Knitting magazine and watched the video that you can find on Superblue's page about the project here. Source: Superblue You can see the giant nancy in the background of the photo above. The video shows someone actually using it to knit and, on that scale, I easily understood how it worked and could make sense of those directions for my much smaller- scale nancy. Once I started exploring these tools on the internet, I found many versions of a DIY toilet paper roll nancy and set out to make my own. What I love about both the giant nancy and the toilet paper roll version is that you can knit with only your hands and the nancy. You don't need a tool like the one shown in the photo with my purchased nancy to help you manipulate the loops of yarn on your pegs. This is a huge plus for kids (and adults for that matter). It's so easy and so fun to do. Kind of addicting actually. Your only problem will be what to do with the long, hollow, knitted tubes you create. I found the stained popsicle sticks for my DIY nancys at Michael's. They are cute, aren't they? The only drawback is that they will stain your fingers during the first use of your nancy. They are taped to the toilet paper roll with colored tape. But again, color is optional. What I learned from making my own nancys is that the tube (toilet paper roll) size and number of pegs determine the circumference of your knitted tube, while the size of the pegs determines the size of your loops. There is a wonderful resource on the internet called The Lost of Art of Knitting Nancys. Here you can find everything you ever wanted to know about them, including how to make and use them. It was put together by a mechanical engineer who was in third grade in 1959 when a knitting nancy fad hit his school. He says it made an imprint on his brain that carried through to middle age and the creation of his knitting nancy page. Do scroll through and read the final paragraph where he explains this. It is funny, charming and very well-written. Some of his methods look rather complex, but there is more than one way to use these knitters. The six-year-old in this video shows the most simple method I've seen. I do something similar, but I wrap my yarn around the peg, and I work in the opposite direction. Whatever method you use and whether you are six or sixty-something, knitting with a nancy is a blast. → 9 Comments Posted in Kid Stuff, Knitting Tagged french knitting, giant knitting nancy, knitting nancy Categories Birthday Christmas Easter Embroidery Fine Things Furnishings Halloween Kid Stuff Knitting Miniatures Misc Holiday Misc Textiles Paper Projects Places to Go Sewing Something Else Something to Drink Something to Eat Something to Read Something to Watch Something to Wear Theme: Coraline by Automattic.

Winter Weather forecast
While just watering my flowers a minute ago, I found an all black Wooly Worm.
The story goes that the wider the black bands are, the colder it gets. This one had no bands at all, just black.
(Never mind that most years I find bands from light to dark brown and black and different widths at the same time and place,LOL).
Right now I would appreciate a blast of cold air too.
I will not complain about this weather. I will, however, swear up a blue streak about the number and ferocity of these &$#* @!^+ ~%@# mosquitoes that the rains and heat have encouraged.
My garden couldn't be more productive. It's a pity I can hardly stand to be near it at most hours of the day.
Here in the twilight zone we accept whatever is going to happen, right now the signals are crossed; it's mild and on the cool side, so one would predict a late winter - but there are some juncoes around this early, what does that mean? The meadow-larks are still here, and I have not heard the tanagers "we are leaving" song. Seems so many subtle signs are around at the same time - so who knows? I'm getting an extra cord of sirewood, just in case.
Slow going, Marda - at least for me, who still needs to practice patience a lot -- I sure do have the opportunity.
Firewood is not delivered yet and shall not be delivered for a while.
Two more weeks on the walker, then progress should be pretty rapid - at east I hope so. Use of the walker sure build up the arm-muscles - that's positive.
I don't mind the cold weather, just the snow. Had a bad winter this year here in PA. Our summer has been to hot and humid for me this year. We had wind stroms here in Jan. and we lost 3 pine trees. Then it snowed that we couldn't get to
them till march. Our snow blower broke down so we have to
replace that by winter, had to replace a wash machine that was ten years old, and just 2 weeks ago our tv went out after giveing us 18 years of good service, so had to replace that. What next, I surely hope nothing more.
I'm not complaining about the heat this summer either. Last two or three years were the coldest summers this part of the state has had for decades. My DD debates me this, but I read the farm reports from corn harvests. I also know that for two years there were no ripe tomatoes unless they were picked and brought inside. This summer reminds me of the hot summers of my early childhood when I'd lay on the linoleum of the kitchen floor and my mother would fall over me when she was cooking. I knew, just like the dogs did, it was cooler there if you didn't lay too long in one spot. LOL. We still haven't had many hot nights. Mostly high sixties. I even love hot nights, when I'd take a glass of iced tea and sit out under the stars.
But, the humidity has been pretty rank, despite the fact we need rain. It hasn't been nearly as bad as the summer of my seventeenth year when I was working between my Freshman and sophomore years at a lodge in the wilds of the Ozarks. It was so constantly wet in the air toadstools were growing in my bathroom. I carefully cleaned around it because I thought it was cool. That's what seventeen year olds do.

Church records were kept at the local parish of the church. A parish is a local congregation that may include many villages. Your ancestor may have lived in a village and belonged to a parish in a nearby larger town.
Be aware that some of these records may be in French.
Beginning your Search
To search this collection, it would be helpful if you knew the following information:
- The name of your ancestor
- Your ancestor's death place or date
- Marriage information such as the name of the spouse, name of parents or the place where your ancestor was married
- Place of birth or the date of birth
Searching the Images
To search the collection select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page ⇒Select the "Place" ⇒Select the "Name of Denomination and Parish" ⇒Select the "Record Type and Year Range" which takes you to the images.
Look at each image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Search for nicknames and various spellings of the name
- Search in the index for the name of your ancestor
- Look for the father's name and the mother's name in the index
- Sometimes church records were kept in the church and sometimes in the home of the minister. The records may still be at the church, with the present minister, at a local historical or genealogical society, or they may have been deposited in an archive of the denomination.
- It may be necessary to look at the records of all the churches near your ancestor's home to locate your ancestor's church records.

Julia and her guests stayed at my apartment for an extended period. Throughout our communications prior to, during and following their stay, I found Julia polite and forthcoming. When she and her guests returned the flat to me, I was impressed by how well they had taken care of things. A 5 star recommendation to Julia for any host thinking of letting their place to her, and a warm welcome back should Julia ever return to Copenhagen :-)

A Western Victoria P-Plate driver who hit a cyclist while she was texting and driving was annoyed that her expensive car damaged during the accident in September 2013. Kimberley Davis, 21, lost her licence of nine months after pleading guilty to dangerous driving on Monday.
Ms Davis of Grant Street, Port Fairy, was also fined $4500 during the hearing at the Warrnambool Magistrates Court. She originally faced 47 charges for each time that she had used her phone while she was behind the wheel.
According to The Standard, she was driving from a supermarket in east Warrnambool to west of Koroit on September 20 when she hit a cyclist from behind at 7:20 pm on the Penshurst-WArrnambool Road.
The victim, who was initially told that he could become a paraplegic, suffered a spinal fracture that required surgery and placement in a spinal cage at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne. He also suffered lacerations to his head and body, as well as a broken big toe. He spent three months recovering.
The court was told that Ms Davis used her phone 44 times while she was driving. She sent and received 22 text messages to seven different phones, and had received a text message at 7:18 pm.
Ms Davis called the Triple Zero emergency number 51 seconds after receiving a text message, but she refused to offer her victim help. She parked 100 metres up the road.
Her answer to police interview two days after the accident also shocked the court, in which she appeared to be more concerned about her vehicle than hurting another human being.
"I just don't care because I've already been through a lot of bullshit and my car is like pretty expensive and now I have to fix it," she apparently told a police officer.
"I'm kind of pissed off that the cyclist has hit the side of my car. I don't agree that people texting and driving could hit a cyclist. I wasn't on my phone when I hit the cyclist."
The cyclist's wife was also in court for the hearing. She was disappointed that Ms Davis did not lose her license for longer than nine months.

Credit Card Company Fee Tricks
Here are a couple of things Chase has done recently to my credit card account to raise my fees. First it suddenly started charging for cc payments made over the phone. Second it without warning changed my payment due date so that I had to make two cc payments in the same month just barely paying by the due date. IÂm now prepared for the next round of tricks to drag more fees out of me.
The trickery mainly involves people not paying attention. The due date is always stated on and coincides with arrival of the statement, yes? And I've rarely seen any pay-by-phone service that didn't involve a "convenience" surcharge.
Of course, one can easily "trick" the card bank back by not exceeding credit limits, always paying the balance in-full, on-time, and using a payment method that doesn't involve surcharges.
And I've rarely seen any pay-by-phone service that didn't involve a "convenience" surcharge.
The one and only card I have found that doesn't have any pay by phone fee, is Discover Card. As a result, that is the one I use about 99+% of the time.

... cut 'em up!
YIKES!...Then I would have to actually go 'into' a gas station and stand in line behind folks buying Big Chugs, candy, chips, hot dogs, lottery tickets, and often gas.
It makes me nutso when the receipt does not print at the pump and I have to pull the keys, lock the vehicle and hope I did indeed pull the keys before locking it.
Well, Chase pulled the 'change the due date' thing on me too--they promoted that I could choose my due date (which I did) and I have it on auto pay from my checking account---but one month they moved up the date by 10 days without notice or explanation. Fortunately I am in the habit of checking everything on the bill so I caught it. No question in my mind that it was an attempt to generate fees. I have had this card for over 15 years, and always pay in full each month.
And, by the way, the bill did not arrive any earlier in the month to "coincide" with the earlier due date. I was left with just a few days to get the payment in and change my autopay date.

"It makes me nutso when the receipt does not print at the pump and I have to pull the keys, lock the vehicle and hope I did indeed pull the keys before locking it."
LOL! That's one of my pet peeves as well. I absolutely HATE when the receipt doesn't print out at the pump!

... cut 'em up!"
Paying cash for everything is one of the worst things people can do because - - at least in the U.S. - - you lose all of the legal protections you get by purchasing with a credit card. Especially in this economy with so many firms closing down and/or filing for bankruptcy. If you paid by credit card for a service or product that you didn't receive, you can get the charge reversed through AmEx, VISA or MC. If you paid by check or cash, then you become just another unsecured creditor and you're at the bottem of the totem pole if and when any remaining assets of the company are disbursed.

Not necessarily. I have discovered that 'legal protections' don't always work in the customers favor.
I used my Chase credit card to pay for cellular service. At renewal time I renegotiated my contract for a much lower rate (1/2). The cell phone provider continued to overcharge me the old rate. They did this 4 months in a row.
Each time I called, they assured me it would be corrected the following month. It wasn't. The 4th time this happened I wanted to change my method of payment to cash and would go into their local store to do this.
I called the Chase to dispute the overcharge. They sided with the cell phone provider. They said because I was using autopay, they would not stop paying the cell phone provider until I gave Chase a confirmation no. from them. Only then would Chase stop paying the cell phone provider. No one at the cell phone co. (telephone or store) seemed to 'understand' what this 'confirmation no.' was about.
I finally called Chase back and told them to cancel my card/account. They said even if I cancelled my account with THEM, they would still continue to bill me for whatever the cell phone provider said I owed IN SPITE of the fact that I was already paying my cell phone bill with CASH (and had receipts to prove it).
I contacted a consumer reporter and she was able to resolve this for me. The cell phone provider credited my accounted, gave me money for the hassle, plus a new phone.
To this day I will never use autopay (or Chase bank) again.

Terminating Automatic Bills. by The Dollar Stretcher by Gary Foreman.
That's not a fault of the credit card per se ... but rather bad customer service on part of the cell company ... and an example of the hazards of using autopay. I pay all my bills online, but NONE of them are done automatically except my mortgage, and that is done as a recurring payment set up by me at my checking account bank, NOT triggered by autopay via the mortgage bank.
I just use my debit card to buy gas. I have one credit card left, Citibank and they recently doubled my interest rate and couldn't give me a good reason why. So, I got on-line and found a 0% card to transfer my balance to. When this one is paid off I'll never get another one.

You might want to be little extra watchful when using your card at the pump. Here is one reason why I pay with cash.
Happy Birthdayâ¦Iâve stolen $2500 from your account
October 27th, 2008
by John Carroll
Identity theft is a fast-growing problem, and Iâve taken it seriously for quite awhile. I pay to have people monitor my credit to ensure someone doesnât open accounts in my name, and I try to use temporary credit card numbers when I make online purchases. I shred personally identifiable information that I receive by mail, the better to deter âdumpster diversâ who might use it. Iâm also a stickler for using complex passwords on any site that provides access to financial information.
There are many, many ways, however, to have your identity stolen, and though from hindsight this should have seemed an obvious possibility, it wasnât something that I had taken sufficient care to avoid.
As the title of this post implies, someone managed to fraudulently withdraw $2500 from my bank account using an ATM card that was a clone of the one my wife and I have in our wallets (Iâm not sure whose card was the original source of the information). This was discovered the night before my birthday, and though I am sure to get all the money back (banks do insure for these kinds of things), it did mean that I spent all day Friday running around faxing, mailing, and filing police reports, which wasnât exactly the way I intended to spend the day.
According to a detective at the West Hollywood Sherrifâs department, a group of individuals had apparently installed a device inside a gas station pump in the area. This device had access to all information entered through the payment point. This includes full details of information stored on the magnetic strip on the back of cards (why, oh why, arenât smartcards as common here as they are in Europe), as well as anything entered via the keypad, such as a PIN number or a zip code. The device included a wireless transmitter that broadcast 300-400 feet, allowing someone seated in a car located nearby to capture all the information generated at the pump. At the end of a hard dayâs work, the thief would use this information to print the data onto card âblanks.â Given that my information was for an ATM card, they used it to visit bank machines far from my area of town."

In the sermon at church on Sunday, our pastor talked about 1 Corinthians 16:14: "Let all that you do, be done in love." I felt challenged by it, knowing I have areas in my life where I'm not living a life of genuine love. Little did I know what God would show me the very next day.
John and Rebekah had been off-schedule since our move to a bigger apartment where we live on Friday. It was a lot of change for them. On Monday, they were constipated all afternoon (yep, both of them). They were in so much pain that I had to run out to try and find pediatric suppositories. I finally found some at Target.
When I got home the suppositories took about an hour to work. I had to put my fingers in places they've never been before. I think I changed 8 diapers. I won't give you any more details, but needless to say, it was not a glorious day in motherhood!
I was tempted to get frustrated by the circumstances and the fact that all afternoon I was tending to my children's needs and doing a job I'd prefer my husband, who is an R.N. could do and do better! I'd rather be swimming in the pool with them (which was what we'd planned) or hanging out with our friends. But not this! Then I remembered that verse again.
Let all that you do, be done in love.
I had been looking for ways to love better and the opportunity was right in my home. It was my time to apply that truth to my life.
I relied on God for help and I was patient when they were screaming from discomfort. I was able to laugh a little to myself at the whole situation when normally I don't do well in high stress situations.
I held them and told them it would be okay and that I loved them. I realized they needed their Momma and no one else could do the job the way I could. I was encouraged to keep persevering because this was how to show them love.
A lot of times I get really inspired by God's word, a sermon, or song to do great things and to serve others, but when it comes down to the everyday details in life, I get lazy and I'm selfish. I realize quickly that it's hard work and I throw in the towel.
But I'm slowly learning that love is best shown in the mundane, ordinary, even messier details in life. It's not about waiting for the perfect moment, mountain top experience, loving when I "feel" like it, or when it's amazingly beautiful.
Love requires action and before it can spill over into the lives of others and into the world, it must first begin in my home with my husband and children, where it matters most.
Well the day ended well, thankfully. John and Rebekah felt better and went to bed early. When Jeremiah got home from a late night at work, we were able to connect with each other and laugh about the craziness of my day and his busy workday. We laughed about how "there's always something" when you have kids. I laid my head down, thankful for the teaching moment I desperately needed (and need more of.)
Have you stumbled upon "love" in a unique way this week?

I did. The plans were on display, but I had to go down to the basement to find them. It was in a locked Microsoft Word document, saved on a 360 KB floppy disk, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Ponies".

Good job, dude! I was wondering what you'd been up to since your work in Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Stewardesses [youtube.com]!

Motorists across Minnesota continue to make the right choice when it comes to finding a sober ride home. The number of DWI arrests this past St. Patrick's Day was the lowest in the past six years, as law enforcement across the state made 94 arrests for drunk driving.
While the numbers are encouraging, one DWI is too many. During the weekend prior to St. Patrick's Day, law enforcement made 326 DWI arrests, compared to 320 the previous weekend. The Department of Public Safety encourages everyone to plan ahead to find a sober ride and not drive drunk.
They are next to you on the highways, city streets and at stop lights. They are high-risk drivers.

Samsung has followed Apple and Google by buying a start-up developing technology to connect ordinary household devices.
The South Korean consumer electronics giant is believed to be paying in excess of $200m for SmartThings, which is based in the US and backed by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin.
It has also scooped up some $15.5m in venture capital funding from Greylock capital and Russian investor Yuri Milner, according to Reuters.
SmartThings bills its technology as an "easy, open, limitless smart home platform" that can "control lights, locks, temperature and more from your smartphone".
Users need to install a hub, as well as the "family" of devices. The company's platform supports the ZigBee and Z-Wave standards, and can connect to wi-fi devices.
Users will also, of course, need to buy the company's locks, lights and other products as well.
"SmartThings remembers your daily routines and automatically adjusts things like climate, music, lighting and more to your preferences. When your plans and patterns change, a simple push of a button is all it takes to get SmartThings to adapt," claims the company.
The firm was founded by Alex Hawkinson, Jeff Hagins and Andrew Brooks and was initially funded via Kickstarter in 2012 before raising venture capital and a subsequent acquisition by Physical Graph Corp.
The 55-employee company's technology will form the nucleus of Samsung's 'internet of things' offerings.

text: Detroit's bankruptcy will cut deep, impact millions, experts say Money Money Politics Americas United States Sarah Wolfe on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM The General Motors world headquarters as seen Feb. 24, 2013, in Detroit. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has declared a financial emergency there, which could result in the governor appointing an emergency financial manager to oversee Detroit's municipal government. The impact of Detroit's historic bankruptcy filing will be deep and widespread, with further cuts expected to government jobs and services and to the pensions of former public sector employees. The once-mighty Motor City took the "one feasible path" to recovery in filing for Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy Thursday, Gov. Rick Snyder said in a letter approving the move. It follows a decades-long decline sparked by an exodus to the suburbs in the 1960s and the rise of foreign auto companies throughout the 1970s and 1980s. As that industrial base has fallen, so have the city's fortunes. More from GlobalPost: Detroit takeover planned by Michigan governor Now more uncertainty is swirling in the air as a tough legal battle looms, as well as the potential of laying off municipal employees, selling off assets, raising fees and scaling back basic services like trash collection and snow plowing, which have already been slashed. "There's no way Detroit can afford to service 140 square miles anymore," Michigan State University economist Eric Scorsone told CNBC. "So for parts of the city, if your streetlight's out, they're not going to fix it. If your road has massive potholes, it's going to turn it to gravel. It's that stark." Forty percent of the city's streetlights currently don't work, for example, only a third of its ambulances are in service and a recent report highlighting the city's economic woes put the jobless rate at 16 percent — triple the rate in 2000. It's currently mired in about $18.5 billion in debt, according to Reuters. More from GlobalPost: Companies give Detroit $8M to buy new ambulances and police cars

Basil blooming, Now what?
My basil is blooming and putting on seeds. I seem to recollect that there is something I need to do when this happens but I can't remember what. Could someone refresh my memory please. I'm new to growing herbs.
Thanks everybody. I'm going to start pinching as soon as I get home from work today. Lydia, the weather HAS been crazy this year. No spring, no rain and straight into summer. 100+ deg for the last 2 days. I think you guys got some rain last night. I hope you didn't get any hail. That looked like a pretty big storm on the radar.
Nope, the hail didnt get me, but I made sure moved all the plants I had hanging off my balcony rail just in case! I thought last year was bad with upper 90's in May, but 100 degree weather in April is just ridiculous. I am a Yankee by birth and although I have lived in TX most of my adult life, I have never gotten used to the heat!
Heathen, my family lives in CA and I have heard about all the rain y'all are having. Who would've thunk it? I think folks over here would probably trade with y'all (at least for a little while!).
A side note on the basil blossoms-- If you can pinch the tops before the blossom opens you can use it in your pestos, etc. After the blossom head flowers the entire tip gets fibrous and is not suitable for most preparations. I had sold lots of basil to restaurants who all had no problems with closed blossoms along with the upper 3-4" of stem and leaves, the portion that snaps off easily without stringing. The stem below the "Tender tip" will be stringy and even woody. By waiting until the blossom flowers, you basically lose the use of the stem portion where most of the weight is.
Simetimes it is just inconvenient to harvest the tips when the tip is still tender. But if you wait your labors are less rewarding.

A reason to visit Malta
... Temples.
Armed with my pre-booked ticket I took the 11.00am tour of the Hypogeum. Due to the strictly controlled microclimate, the maximum number of visitors per tour is limited to 10 and no photos are allowed. This subterranean necropolis with it's halls, chambers and passages hewn out of the rock on 3 levels and dating from around 4000 BC, is like stepping into a mysterious and silent world. The Hypogeum covers some 500 square metres and it is thought ...
Marvelous Malta!
... Maltese sense of humour, so when he told us "This is the office of the Hypogeum, the Hypogeum is about an hour's walk from here…" we all laughed! We were too early, as usual, so walked to a local caf� for a coffee before the tour.
The Hypogeum is a prehistoric underground temple, several levels deep. It was built at least 5000 years ago as a tomb for a strange culture. The place looked just like it had been a temple built above ground but ...
The Malta Music Awards
... the backstage area. I said 'Hello, my name is Caitlin, I'm from Australia and I'm writing a blog about the MMAs. Can we come backstage please?' There was a pause that felt like it would end in disappointment, before he said 'Okay.'
What?! Does this happen in real life?!
We talked to the first backstage crew we could find; trying to keep a straight face, trying to ask sensible questions. We learnt they'd been setting ...

Today I took it easy, catching up on a lot of photos and blogging, Skyping my parents and talking to some friends back home.
Halfway through the day I stepped out with Ippy to get fresh fruit from a store up the road, and admired the view (and the sun) from our roof.
In the evening I was cooking eggs for a sandwich and burnt some oil in the pan. It smoked-out the entire floor! I was so embarrassed!
Later that night I also almost ...

There are a couple of different places where these salt pans exist on the island and those no longer used for salt collection have even ...

In alleged illegal immigration case
The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of the former cricketer, Jacob Martin, who was issued a non-bailable arrest warrant (NBW) for his alleged involvement in an illegal immigration case.
A Bench of Justices H.S. Bedi and C.K. Prasad dismissed his special leave petition against a Delhi High Court order refusing to cancel the NBW issued by a trial court. He contended that the High Court had erred in refusing to cancel the NBW and dismissing his anticipatory bail plea.
Justice Bedi told the petitioner's counsel: "You have been declared as a proclaimed offender. Your bona fides are suspect. This case is of 2004. You can't keep away from law. You will have to join the investigation. You surrender and seek regular bail."
On April 8, the High Court refused to grant him any relief saying the allegation against him was serious and he had done "disservice" to the game, which was close to the hearts of millions. Mr. Martin, an Indian Railways batsman, who had played 10 one-day internationals for India, is facing a Delhi police probe for his alleged involvement in an immigration racket. As per a criminal case registered in 2004, Mr. Martin, a native of Gujarat, had taken a group of young cricketers to England that year and had facilitated the "illegal stay" of one of them on the basis of forged documents.
According to the prosecution, one Nimesh Patel alleged that he paid nearly Rs.7 lakh to one Rajender Patel, the main agent, for facilitating the "illegal immigration," and Mr. Martin was the "main beneficiary." The police said Mr. Rajender Patel had nothing to do with the game and was subsequently deported by the British authorities for want of valid immigration papers.
"It prima facie appears to be a case of human trafficking behind the smoke screen of leading a cricket team abroad. The allegation against the petitioner is serious in nature," the High Court had said, accepting the status report filed by the police. The present appeal is directed against this order.

Pics-venus and N Ventricosa Troubles
I post on the orchid boards. My carnivors are doing very poorly.
Conditions: Indoors combination of natural sun (west window and lights) grown with orchids roughly 60% humidity often more 65-75º. Nice gentle breeze blowing and grown with my orchids who are doing well
what has happened? I also have a large N Ventricosa leaves are turning yellow but not spotted like the baby but new growth on top. Lost his big cup
1) do I feed them until they get new cups? I use superthrive, have schulz's, phyton, and rooting hormone
The fly trap is rubbery, looks like a bit of algea on the top of the dirt. I have treated it with phyon but no luck...its dying and i don't know why. it has full sun with the grow lights just as the ventricosa does
medium is perlite, moss and potting soil
any info may be helpful
Thank you All
PS There are small plants 2" for the ventricosa
Yeah, ixnay on the potting soil. Just moss and perlite would do. I guess you already use distilled water for your orchids so use that for the CP's. Don't worry about the algea on top of the soil. My suggestion is to rinse and repot both in clean pots with moss and perlite. Don't shock them with fertilizer (Superthrive)or anything else because they are about to go dormant in Chicago.
Best of luck to you.
actually the VFT is soaking wet in the middle...
Question: If the Ventricosas go dormant how do I care for them through the winter months?
also to clarify, potting soil is just a tiny bit. the mix is mainly moss and perlite
Thanks to all for the help
Nepenthes don't go into dormancy. in some states they decrease growth due to weather. but these are tropical plants meaning that they don't require a dormancy period.
your flytrap's soil does seem to be a bit dry. you should consider using a watering tray to water it. you may leave its soil a bit moist to soaking wet. the nepenthes soil is best to leave it moist.
maybe your nepenthes is getting too much strong light. Nepenthes do best in a bright light location. you mention they also get lights?
hmm.. potting soil is a bad thing here since these type of plants do not go well with fertilizers. these people are correct, their roots do burn if fertilizers are used. what you should do is just grow these two plants under articificial lights for a while. see if they recover.
the flytrap can use a water tray below its container to keep its soil moist. just used peatmoss+perlite for these plants. be patient, this procedure may take a while in order for these little plants to kick back and recover.
so, remove the potting soil, maybe repotting your flytrap will do. into a new media of peatmoss+perlite mix. then water it with purified water ONLY.. keep its compost moist at all times.. then grow these two plants under artificial lights for 2 - 3 weeks.
when did you purchase these two plants? what was the month or date? who knows, your flytrap may be going dormant.
the nepenthes probably is getting too much strong lighting. and too much watering. nepenthes prefer their media moist and not soaking wet. the roots rot up to the leaves.
Well, I can't top what these fine people have said on the subject but I can share with you a couple stories and a few pics of my own.
When I first got my CPs it was heading into the heat of summer and I, reading they needed full sun, put them in a windowsill, where they roasted in the afternoon sun. Shortly after that incident and because I'd gotten more plants than my two little windows would hold, I bought a shop light and set them up in the basement under lights on a timer. It seems like most of my plants love the situation as most of them make bigger and more beautiful pitchers and traps than before.
About the Neps... I doubt it'll help, but when they're thriving they do recomend a monthly misting of dilluted orchid foliar food. Key word here is diluted. Again, I highly doubt that's your problem. Usually the three big things that can go wrong are light, water and soil.
(Oh yeah about water... flytraps drink like crazy. Buy some of those disposable tupperware containers and put your pot in one, keep at least half inch to 1 inch of water in it. You'll be supprised how often it'll need refilled when the plant is healthy. Let the water level fluctuate but don't let it empty. Moist is not good enough for the flytrap. The nep... well, I water mine every 3 days.)
I keep making little modifications but my set up and my plants are on my site, check em out if you like.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tangled Web of Aracknight
I like to keep things relatively simple. For Neps a good mix is (rinsed) peat, perlite, and long fibered sphagnum. I don't use S.T. or Osmocote or any other foliar feeding. This is not to say that others do not, but I would recommend an airy mix of soil that is rinsed well before use. If your Neps are new acquisitions, they may be exhibiting some adjustment shock. So give them several weeks to adjust. They like decent but don't need incredible amounts of light. They don't relish sitting in a container of water, but this species can tolerate it. They do well in planters and hanging baskets. They do not go dormant, butif you are depending upon window sill lighting alone, with the decrease innatural photoperiod, they will cease pitchering for the winter. They do not go dormant.
VFT's are more of an outdoor plant and they love the sun. They are also normally in the process of slowing down (dormancy). They do not care to be sitting in water, but also like good drainage.
It is good to topwater both the Neps and VFT's and let the water drain through them. Artificial lighting would be recommended for a VFT at a window sill.
Distilled, Reverse Osmosis, Rain, and deionize water are CP safe.
Stability of conditions and gradual acclimation are good practices with CP's, especially if one purchases them from places like Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, etc...
Sorry to delay response but I wanted to try the advise. The Ventricosa is still not better after repotting. I bought them fro Hauserman's and they were potted in soil and perlite...little charcol too
I have a large and small. The small's leaves are turning black. He is under the lights with the orchids. He doesn't seem to have much of a root system. The large is losing bottom leaves but growing new...no pitchers
and all of you were right the VFT was going to zzzzz.... I have him on the 50º ledge window. He gets some residual light from the grow area and about 3 hours natural a day... I hope this is ok
Thank you all for the advise
Does the ventricosa have any greenery left? If so, it still has life and is worthwhile trying to save. Obviously, it isn't doing well right now, but with some TLC, it has a chance to pull through. Neps, characteristically, react to a significant change its conditions and also can take several weeks to months before they recover. They are not the most forgiving plants in the world! At this point, adequate lighting, good drainage from watering, stability of conditions, and just plain waiting it out would be the best course of action. It may not make it, or it may. Keep us posted.
I have a large ventricosa with green leaves and new growth. no pitchers and I have gnats! The baby (pictured) has some green left, but spotted yellow mainly. I got them from Hausermans and they use soil, peat, perlite mixture. The baby I repotted in something lighter per the discussion and threw some charcol on top. He is blackening at the bottom (leaves). I need something to handle the gnats
Because I grow orchids I am in 60-70% humidity
The tag says direct sunlight so the big one is in the middle of the growingh rack. his leaves are almost touching the bulbs. The little one I put to the side (light reduction while he grows roots back)
Now I need those pitchers. IL commercial growers don;t seem to thrilled with pings. Hard to find. Oak Hill and Hauserman's have neither
QUESTION: what is the minimum temp for the ZZZZZ VFT? I have a garage with a bright window (west)
I would love to know if there really is a plant that eats small animals...Readily available. Yup have that too....squeak! Yuck! winter in chicago everyone wants in! The plant would not starve! Hehe
Thanks to all for this discussion!
Last Question to this board of experts. I hope you can see the VFT tag. Is this some species that is different from a regular VFT? The tag instructions seem to be quite contrary to what you are all telling me (no worries I know who to trust ha!) "Akai Ryu Dio Muscipula... if this is asian does ity go dormant? It never did catch any flys even when it was red and healthy.... My guys have to work or they kicked off the rack!
Wow so confused...light temp general culture for z5 chicago etc now that he is either sleeping or in trouble would be appreciated. He is also from Hauserman's in original medium, very wet just from my overspray of the orchids and the high humidity. I swear chemicals are easier ;-)
N. ventricosa: If this were a sundew, and had aphids, like D. capsnsis, adelae, or spatulata, I would immerse the plant in water for a couple days. But I'm not sure that a Nep, even a so-called bombproof one, would be able to handle it. Nor am I positive that drowning would work for gnats. Are they the dreaded fungus gnat larvae that do damage to roots or adult fungus gnats that are relatively harmless? Or are they some other kind of gnat altogether. Are all leaves infected? Could you snip affected ones? You may need to apply an insecticide, but again, I am out of my league in this one. I did purchase a Bayer product that killes all sorts of critters, but haven't as yet used it on my CP's.
Pings: You are having trouble finding pings? I have 30 species / hybrids of mostly Mexican butterworts. If interested, feel free to message me. I'd have even more to share next spring, but have some that I can spare now.
Sleeping VFT's can take mild frosts, but I like to keep them in the 35-40 degree range.
There are very large, adukt Neps whose pitchers can engulph smphibians. There is one famous story of one that had a baby monkey, supposedly. But for mice, a Havahart humane trap works well, as do sticky glue traps.
The 'Akai Ryu' is one of the red cultivars on the market. So it is really a play on the genetics of the common VFT, which hails from North Carolina, which also means that it is intended to go dormant.
I'm not certain as to what the last paragraph is conveying, other than concern as to whether it is struggling or going dormant. Looking at the leaves, it appears to have so-called summer leaves, which are thinner, longer, and off the ground. Winter leaves are shorter, wider, and resting on the soil media.
Sure wish I could help you with the ventricosa, but it's beyond my experience.
If you just have plain old gnats, both butterworts and sundews have the sticky leaf surface that will do a number on small, flying insects.

Taxi from the airport took around 20 mins, and the traffic is absolutely mad. Arrived at the Riad, and first impressions of the area and the narrow alleyway approach were a little disconcerting, but the Riad itself is a little oasis. We were welcomed by Ahmed and immediately given an upgraded room as we were the only couple staying! he gave us a map and pointed out all the prime locations for sightseeing , eating and general immersion into the Morrocan way. The room was very clea, tidy, and the bed was good. Facilities were excellent, and a continental style breakfast on the upper terrace was delightful. All the staff were very pleasant, attentive and made our stay thoroughly pleasant. It is not a large place, but the quaintness and the personal nature made us feel very happy. Nothing but praise for Laurent, Ahmed, Mohammed and all the staff. The appearance of pastries dates and wine in our room on the occasion of my birthday, with a personalised greeting was especially superb. Jake and Deb
