For many, NASCAR is synonymous with fast cars and the men who drive them. Historically, women were relegated to being scantily clad race starters, trophy girls and wives. But just as women have progressed in other sports, women have come a long way in NASCAR. Long before Danica Patrick hit the scene women began making strides in NASCAR. Today, in honor of Women's History Month and NASCAR Week we're highlighting some of those historically significant women who dared to go beyond trophy holding trophies and photo ops and into NASCAR boardrooms and cars.

For two hours, Wynita Worley was a 21-year community college student who was suddenly in charge of three younger siblings when her father was sentenced to 45 days in jail.
While the family's rent and child care was paid, there was no income for utilities and groceries.
Worley and her siblings had to find a way to survive not unlike many other struggling families in Kentucky.
Worley, public services librarian at the Grant County Public Library, was one of about 50 people who participated in a Poverty Simulation held Oct. 11 by the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission at Vineyard Church of Grant County.
"I was surprised how much I did learn from the experience," she said. "Even though I hear stories from our patrons in the library, this put me in some of their roles."
The Poverty Simulation, developed by the Missouri Association of Community Action and used nationwide, allows participants to role-play the lives of low-income families and senior citizens, providing for their food, shelter and basic needs during an hour-long "month" in poverty.
The simulation uses play money and fictitious, but realistic scenarios to allow participants to view poverty from a unique perspective.
Volunteers represent bankers, employers, teachers, social service providers, police and business owners of the community.
A packet was handed out providing a description of each family, individuals in the family, sources of income, possessions, bills and other items needed to survive within the month.
Transportation passes were needed to get to work, the bank or pay bills.
Out of the blue, the town's sheriff might arrest people in the community.
The goal is to keep your home secure, feed the family, keep utilities on, pay for expenses and go to work or go to school.
Unfortunately, some were evicted from their homes by the end of the month.
"The object of the experience is to sensitize us to the realities of what these families are facing in our community," said Jennifer Belisle, deputy director of Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission. "It also should inspire us to become involved in ways to address those barriers and problems and improve the community for everyone."
"The statistics and scenarios are very real and are based on real-life experiences of families in our community," she said. "Over 50,000 individuals in northern Kentucky's eight-county region are living below the poverty line. For working families who are above the poverty line but still struggling, we're talking about a third of our community."
Rebecca Hampton, co-pastor of Vineyard Church, portrayed a 34-year-old mom whose husband had recently left.
"I had two teenage children, $10 in my pocket and no job," she said. "I really struggled most with juggling looking for work while also looking for community resources that would aid in food, utilities and rent. There was not enough time to keep it all going so I got evicted and lost my job."
Worley said her time also was spread thin traveling to apply for aid and trying to make sure everyone was in school.
"All of us ended up missing school to take care of these issues while dad was in jail," she said. "In addition, one of the teenagers at home was accused of taking cash from a friend's mother while there was no supervision at home."
Worley said her fictitious father made $10.75 per hour when he wasn't in jail, not nearly enough to support three minors and a college student.
"Even if dad weren't in jail, where would the family have gotten the money to for an expensive car repair or doctor bill?" she said. "Luckily, my family qualified for emergency food and utility money, but I was ready to hawk the TV and jewelry if I didn't get it. Also, it made me realize how much Grant County needs public transportation because we were spending what money we had on gas traveling to and from these agencies."
Hampton said her overall experience during the simulation was great.
She said it made her want to help out those who need it more than ever.
"The biggest thing I took away was a renewed passion to be a part of the community effort to assist and empower those struggling with poverty and the effects it brings to their lives," Hampton said.
While many participants represented community agencies or area churches, Worley said she hopes more people from the general public will get a chance to experience the simulation in the future.
"It's easy to be an armchair critic and think 'those people just need to get a job' and an event like this makes you realize how hard it is to have a job, support your kids or get out of a hole when a life emergency happens," she said. "I think an event like this reminds us all that could be me and gives us knowledge and incentive to push harder to make changes in our community."

A guest article by Frank Bosse (posted by Nic Lewis)
A recent paper by the authors Stolpe, Medhaug and Knutti (thereafter S. 17) deals with a longstanding question: By how much are the Global Mean Surface Temperatures (GMST) influenced by the internal variability of the Atlantic (AMV/AMO) and the Pacific (PMV/PDO/IPO)?
The authors analyze the impacts of the natural up's and down's of both basins on the temperature record HadCRUT4.5.
A few months ago this post of mine was published which considered the influence of the Atlantic variability.
I want to compare some of the results.
In the beginning I want to offer some continuing implications of S. 17.
The key figure of S. 17 (fig. 7a) describes most of the results. It shows a variability- adjusted HadCRUT4.5 record:
Fig.1: The Fig. 7a from S. 17 shows the GMST record (orange) between
1900 and 2005, adjusted for the Atlantic & Pacific variability.

Country notes with main key findings of the book and key fact tables: a customised snapshot of a country's educational environment, highlighting the most important issues in the educational landscape.
Turkey's economy will grow stronger in the coming years, but remains overly dependent on domestic consumption funded by foreign finance, according to the latest OECD Economic Survey of Turkey.
Organised in Istanbul, this event focused on financial education across Europe and in Turkey, the role(s) of the private and not-for-profit sectors in financial education, financial literacy and innovation for young people and financial education for migrant workers and their families.
Following recent Turkish media reports, the OECD would like to clarify that it has published no recent review of Turkey. The publication of the 2014 Economic Survey of Turkey is planned for July.
The average worker in Turkey faced a tax burden on labour income (tax wedge) of 38.6% in 2013 compared with the OECD average of 35.9%. Turkey was ranked 16 of the 34 OECD member countries in this respect.

This note presents key findings for Turkey from Society at a Glance 2014 - OECD Social indicators. This 2014 publication also provides a special chapter on: the crisis and its aftermath: a "stress test" for societies and for social policies.
Turkey still has a large income gap vis-à-vis most advanced OECD countries, reflecting both a relatively low productivity level and a low employment rate, which is the lowest among OECD countries.
Turkey has demonstrated good resilience during the financial and economic crisis though growth has been slowing more recently. Policy challenges include addressing infrastructure shortfalls, improving access to quality education, and achieving a better balance in social protection in order to foster job creation and employment in the formal sector.

Glaucoma is a condition in which the pressure within the eyeball rises, leading to impaired eye circulation and, ultimately, to eye damage and possible blindness.
Research has shown that pressure within the eye goes up when a person lies down, and goes down when the person sits up. A slight head elevation can lower eyeball pressure and should have been used as a treatment for glaucoma.
It has been ignored, however, due to the cultural assumption that head elevation during sleep is not a medical issue. Nevertheless, sleeping with the head too flat for too long over many years pressurizes the eyeballs as well as the brain, slowly creating glaucoma.
To perform the following SELF STUDY, you may want to get your eyeball pressure checked before and after the study period, since this is the only way to tell whether or not your eye pressure has changed.

Mensen met oogproblemen ondervinden meer problemen met de oogdruk als zij horizontaal liggen:
Surv Ophthalmol. 2010 Sep-Oct;55(5):445-53. doi: 10.1016/j.survophthal.2009.12.002. Epub 2010 Jul 16.
Posture-induced intraocular pressure changes: considerations regarding body position in glaucoma patients.
Prata TS1, De Moraes CG, Kanadani FN, Ritch R, Paranhos A Jr.
Although glaucoma is a multifactorial disease, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the most important known risk factor. Different systemic and local factors are thought to influence an individual's IOP. There can be a clinically significant rise in IOP when going from upright to horizontal or inverted body positions. Although there is a significant interindividual variability, the magnitude of the IOP change is greater in glaucomatous eyes. As patients usually spend a significant portion of their lives in the horizontal position, mainly during sleep, this is highly relevant. In this review we discuss the relationship between postural changes and IOP fluctuation, including changes in both body and head position. The possible mechanisms involved and the main implications for glaucomatous eyes are discussed. Finally, considerations with regard to sleep position in glaucoma patients are made based on evidence in the literature.

I downloaded Romantic Roses 1 a while back and loved them. When I saw these new ones I ordered all of them. I set up a folder on my computer named "E-Cuts". I printed out one copy of each set on good cardstock, and cut them out and packaged them separately. The colors a vibrant and wonderful. I have a set ready to use, but the wonderful part is that I can always go back and print more. Love them!!
While I was disappointed somewhat in the Palm Beach paper collection because it was really geared for scrapbook pages, these little accents are absolutely perfect for cards, or little boxes etc. Love Them!
Being from Palm Beach, when I saw the Palm Beach Collection papers, I "had to have it". While the papers are pretty and all the right "Palm Beach" colors, I make cards, I don't do scrapbooking. These are more scrapbook page layout papers. But not to worry, I'm sure they will make beautiful cards, when the pages are cut for cards.
I was looking for these specific butterflies (I already have many others) for a card I had in mind. They exceeded my expectations, the price was right, and now I am torn between using them (they are just too beautiful to part with) for the card or keeping them! Scrapbook.com is a wonderful place to shop. They always have what I want or need, and are super fast on delivery.
I was a little disappointed with this purchase because I thought that each quote would be in a specific compatible font, print-ready for cards. I was looking for something I could print "as is" for the inside of cards. These quotes are all the same generic font. That said, this is still an excellent source for quotes, and covers almost every topic you could think of. I will still find many uses for this product.
I absolutely love this product. It was difficult to find. I love the variety of papers even more than the diecuts. Definitely my very favorite. BasicGrey makes some beautiful collections.

text: 'Opportunities Missed' By Authorities In Charge Of Keanu Williams' Care 'Opportunities Missed' By Authorities In Charge Of Keanu Williams' Care 03.10.2013 By Helen MacGregor Expert child abuse lawyers at Irwin Mitchell say it is imperative lessons are learnt by authorities across the country after a report into the death of a two-year-old boy killed by his mother found there were 'a number of significant opportunities missed' to save him. A serious case review into Keanu Williams' murder published today said social care workers, the police and health professionals had "collectively failed to prevent Keanu's death". The report found different agencies had "become confused" as their strategy discussions had focused on the medical and forensic aspect of his injuries, which at the time of his death were noted as 37 injuries including a fractured skull and torn abdomen. Keanu's mother, Rebecca Shuttleworth, was convicted of murder and four counts of child cruelty after a five-month trial. She was ordered to serve at least 18 years in prison. The report by Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board concluded that although Keanu's death on 9 January 2011 could not have been predicted, the agencies involved could have seen that he was "likely to suffer significant harm". The toddler should have been subject to a child protection plan "on at least two occasions" to address issues of neglect and physical harm, the report said. The serious case review makes eight recommendations: • Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board (BSCB) should review child protection to focus on the "child journey", and "key facts" should be readily available to front-line staff. • Agencies should review the access that staff have to records. • BSCB should ensure records are sent to relevant people and filed properly. • There should be a "critical review" of child protection medical assessments and support procedures. • BSCB must track and review the process of any changes. • Procedures for "whistle-blowing and challenging" to be reviewed by all agencies involved in the case. • New training programmes for staff. • There should be a management review to provide evidence that action has been taken. Read more about Irwin Mitchell's expertise relating to child abuse claims Expert Opinion What happened to Keanu is both shocking and horrific and should never have happened in 21st Century Britain where there are bodies and guidelines in place to protect vulnerable people. "We welcome the report by Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board but it is imperative the recommendations are implemented immediately by the authorities to ensure the same horrific abuse of a child can never happen again. "Lessons should also be learnt by authorities across the country to improve the safeguarding of youngsters and ensure similar failings on such a large scale will not develop in other areas.

You have chosen to breast feed your baby, but what do you really need? Breastfeeding is so important for your baby within the first year of life. There are many supplies that people are going to recommend you have for breastfeeding, but these are the bottom line essentials. We also are sharing some links of where you can purchase these items! If you choose not to breastfeed or can't, that's ok too. You do what's best for you and your baby.
Breastfeeding pump
If you plan to go back to work after your maternity leave having a breast pump is critical. It will help you maintain your supply and stock up for the sitter. Before purchasing a breast pump check with your insurance company because sometimes they cover one or offer a discount. If you are able to get a double-electric breast pump, we think that's the best way to go. There are still single-electric pumps and hand pumps that can be very effective as well. We LOVE the Medela Breast pump
Nursing Covers
Nursing covers are stylish and fun! Many have a variety of purposes. You can wear it as a scarf and use it as a nursing cover. The nursing cover is used for when you are in public and want to nurse your baby; you just cover yourself up. These are super cute and stylish for the new mom.
Nursing cover by Bebe Au Lait
If you are pumping you are going to need some sort of milk storage system. You will want some ready to use bottles that you can have right in the fridge as well as plastic bags that you can freeze. You also will want some ice packs if you are on the go. You can typically freeze milk for 2-3 months, just make sure it is sealed properly and labeled/dated. Here is an example milk storage set.
Nursing Bra/Tank
Nursing bras are so comfortable. They help to make access easy so you can feed your little one when needed. Nursing tanks have a built in bra. We've even worn nursing tanks with cardigans or an open jacket. Personally, I loved the tanks because my back and middle were always covered when I nursed a baby. Sometimes pulling up a shirt can expose skin which may make you uncomfortable or cold. Most all maternity stores will carry nursing tanks. Some of our favorite stores are Motherhood Maternity, Target, Pickles and Ice Cream, A Pea in the Pod, and Rosie Pope. Amazon also has great deals (plus for prime members two day shipping!)
Boppy Pillow
Boppy pillows are a life-saver for nursing mom's. This versatile pillow lifts baby to a more ergonomic position for comfortable feedings, then transitions to the perfect spot for propping, tummy time and learning to sit. You can find some boppy pillows at Pottery Barn, plus even get them embroidered.
Pillow by Belllifly
Nursing Pads
There are different kinds of nursing pads: reusable (cloth) and disposable. Disposable nursing pads are made of super absorbent materials to prevent leakage and maintain dryness. Cloth nursing pads come in a variety of prints, are 100% cotton (some even organic), and can be washed and used over and over. Nearly all nursing mothers will experience breast milk leakage at some point. Leaking occurs when mother's milk "lets down", due to the MER ("Milk Ejection Reflex"). It's better to be safe than sorry with a wet spot on your shirt.
Nipple Cream
Nipple cream helps any irritation after breast-feeding. It can relieve sore or chapped nipples from nursing. It is really simple and easy; just rub some on your nipples after nursing and you will relieve chapped nipple pain and help prevent any infections. Make sure that your hands are clean before applying it on your nipple.
However you plan to feed your baby it's a good idea to read up and be informed on how best to accomplish the feedings. Many new moms expect breastfeeding to be a breeze and become frustrated when they don't get the hang of it right away. If breastfeeding is hard for you or if you have any problems, a great resource is the lactation consultant at your hospital. Give her a call and she'll be able to help figure out what could be wrong. Remember to take it easy on yourself. After all, you are a new mom and there really isn't an instruction booklet on how to handle everything. Do your best and reach out for help when you need it.
Take this breastfeeding checklist printable for your own reference. Have fun planning!

The largest of all the forest antelope, the bongo stands upwards of four feet at the shoulder and can measure just over 10 feet in length. Males can push over 800 pounds while females rank smaller with an average weight of between 300 to 500 pounds. Horns are spiral in nature and can measure up to 40 inches.
Bongo are bright auburn to chestnut in color and carry between 10–15 vertical white to yellow stripes, spread along the back from the base of the neck to hindquarters.
It carries a white spot on each cheek and a white chevron appears between the eyes with another along the neck and chest.
Native to some of the nastiest jungles and rainforests in Africa, Bongo can be found on numerous game ranches in Texas where they can be hunted from blinds, safari style, and spot and stalk.

Potty Training : The 3 Day Method - Day 2
Day 2 :
First, I have to "tell" on myself. I put LB to bed last night in undies and had planned on doing some of the overnight ideas that this method encourages you to do. But around 11:30pm I caved and put a diaper on her. I had planned on going in there to put undies back on her before she woke...but that didn't happen. So she woke up in a diaper and I immediately took it off and put her undies on. This method encourages to train day time and night time at the same time...but LB might be a pull-up wearer for her naps and night time for a little bit longer. And I'm ok with that...
8:30am - Lindley Belle had her morning bottle.
8:45am - Breakfast (prunes, blueberries, toast) and lots of juice
9:00am - She finished breakfast on the potty bc she said "tee-tee" but nothing.
10:20am - First accident - BUT as I picked her up to run to the potty, she was able to stop herself and finished on the potty!! I call that a TEE-TEE SUCCESS! She was at first extremely upset with herself but then very proud. I couldn't believe how well she had help it in. By 10:20am the day before, she had already had 3 accidents.
10:30am - I gave her some crackers & more juice.
11:30am - Since it had been over an hour since her last potty, I encouraged her to go to the bathroom with me. She sat on the potty for a few min, acted a little scared but then went TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY!! We celebrated and had some candy.
11:45am - Lunch time. More prunes & juice too. She has said "poo-poo" a lot today but has yet to go.
12:30pm - She was asking to go outside to swing & see Jake (our dog) but I knew she prob needed to go potty. I encouraged her to come to the bathroom. She sat on the potty but then started crying and acting really scared. I hugged her and put her back on the potty. Then she went TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY!! We celebrated and had some candy. Then I took her outside to swing and see Jake!
1:00pm - I laid her down for her nap in the same undies she had been wearing since 10:30am! During this nap, I ran to Target (Craig was home for lunch) and bought a Elmo toilet seat. Since she has seemed a little scared of the potty seat, I thought she might like to use the real potty.
3:00pm - She woke up early again due to being wet. I should have just put a diaper on her for her nap. I plan to let her sleep in a diaper thru the night tonight.
3:15pm - I waited too long to go get her out of bed and she ended up going poo-poo in her undies. But she kept saying "yucky-yucky" so I'm hoping she understands that's a no-no.
3:45pm - TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY! This was on the real potty using the seat. She LOVED it!
4:15pm - She started "potty training" her beloved teddy bear Wiggins aka "nigh-nigh"
4:50pm - She told me "poo-poo" but then as we walked to the bathroom she turned around and said "no" so I didn't take her....I should have though bc she ended up having a tee-tee accident. First one since 10:20am!
5:35pm - TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY!!!!! She really got into the celebration this time. It's clicking!!
6:00pm - Dinner time
6:15pm - Accident during dinner. Poor girl takes her eating very seriously :)
6:30pm - Took a bath!
7:20pm - Her Poppa & Cici came to visit her! She was SO happy to see them! I had a feeling she would prob have an accident while they were here since she would be excited and distracted...I was right. Poor thing.
8:00pm - Cici & I put her down for bed...with a diaper on.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY HAS MADE! I'm so proud of my big girl!!
Stay tuned for day 3...

Potty Training : The 3 Day Method - Day 1
I am about to start the 3 Day Potty Training method with Lindley Belle (age 19.5 months) tomorrow (4/17). I thought I would blog (warning - it's going to be detailed!) about our struggles, progress and all the details in between. One reason I have for blogging in detail about it is for accountability. If I know that I am blogging about this, it will keep me focused. I also know that it's going to be hard and a lot of times, taking notes and journaling thru a hard time helps get you thru that moment and on to the next. When I was scheduling Lindley Belle I wrote down every little detail that happened throughtout the day. It really did help me get thru the day AND it's now been a great resource for other moms who have come to me for help and advise with scheduling their little one.Yes, I'm a BIG advocate for Babywise - I know many moms are not, and I respect their reasons. But I had TONS of success with Babywise mixed with my own intuition as a mother....OK, so scheduling is something I love to discuss...maybe I'll blog about it one day.
Back to potty training...maybe these next few posts can be of encouragement and a source is information for someone....or maybe a source of laughter too, depending on how the next few days go! Ha!
I plan to do 4 separate posts.
1. Day 1
2. Day 2
3. Day 3
4. Recap & Thoughts
My Thoughts on Readiness:
There are lots of opinions out there on the readiness of your toddler. My biggest piece of advise on this subject is this: you know your child better then anyone else. If they are interested in what you do in the bathroom and have started showing signs of understanding when they are going tee-tee & poo-poo, there's a chance they are read. But you are the mommy. Trust your gut feeling.
The Day Before:
Lindley Belle & I went to the store together to pick out her new undies (Belle & Dora!) and reward candy...or as she calls it "nandy!" I also got some juice boxes, (I am usually VERY against juice, but I know she'll love it, and in turn drink a lot which in turn will give me lots of chances to teach), sweetened prunes and a interactive Potty Time with Elmo book. She loves Elmo.
Our downstairs is all wood & tile so I've decided we will just stay downstairs during these days. I've pulled up the rugs and brought down lots of LB's toys & books from her playroom.
Day 1:
8:30am - Lindley Belle had her morning bottle.
8:45 am - Breakfast (sweetened prunes, shredded wheat & blueberries) & Elmo fruit juice.
9:00am - I read the Potty Time with Elmo book to Lindley Belle and took off her diaper & put on her first pair of undies. I let her pick out her undies - she picked Princess Belle.
9:20am - Gave LB another box of juice.
9:45am - First accident. I scooped her up and rushed her to her potty.I stayed calm & loving. Of course she was done by the time I sat her on it. LB was very upset and did not like feeling her tee-tee. I put another pair of undies (this time Dora) on LB and she watched me clean the floor.
10:05am - Second accident. This time LB slipped in it - that really upset her. I did the same routine as with the first accident. She was also very upset about Dora getting "yucky-yucky".
10:20am - Third accident. Same routine as before...
10:35am - She told me "tee-tee" so we ran to the potty and sat for a few min. Nothing.
10:38am - Fourth accident...BUT could have been a potty success had a kept her on the potty longer...to me, this was a small sign of progress.
11:00am - I sat her on the potty and we read a book. FIRST TEE-TEE SUCCESS! Even though she did not tell me ahead of time, she still got her tee-tee in the potty! So we had a big celebration and ate some candy.
11:45am - Lunch time & another juice box.
12:20pm - Fifth accident. Same routine as before.
12:45pm - She told me "poo-poo" so we ran to the potty and sat down.She didn't go poo-poo but we had our SECOND TEE-TEE SUCCESS! We had a big celebration and had some more candy.
1:00pm - I laid LB down for her nap. In a clean pair of undies on top of several beach towels.
2:50pm - She woke up early from her nap because she was wet. (Sixth accident)
3:00pm - She told me "tee-tee" and we ran to the bathroom and she went TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY!! We had a VERY big celebration and had some candy! I also gave her some more juice.
3:40pm - Seventh accident. Same routine as before.
3:55pm - TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY!!!! I saw this as a big success bc she obviously didn't empty her bladder 15 min earlier and so when she needed to go, she remembered to go in the potty!
From 4:15 - 7:00 things got a little crazy. There was a mix of 3 more accidents and 2 more TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY! We had some dinner and took a bath. Also during this time she told me "poo-poo" several times but would never go on the potty. So....she felt very comfortable during her bath and decided to poo-poo in the tub! I was really upset because she has never done that but I stayed calm and loving towards her.
7:30 - another accident...I've lost count at this point. Ha!
7:45 - I put her to bed...45 min early...haha! She was tired too. It had been a tough day.
Stay tuned for day 2...

Holy Crap These are Amazing Cookies
Recipe by aronsinvest
I did not make up this name. This came from a website called Divine Caroline. She says if you make these people will be worshipping your feet.
Top Review by sheepdoc
Yep these are amazing. Teen-agers loved them - ok not a tough crowd, but they told me they were awesome and usually they just eat and eat without comment. I used Frosted Flakes because that's what I had. I knew we had no corn flakes but thought we had Honey Bunches of Oats which would probably be good too. 18 oz of peanut butter is about 2 cups if you buy it in bulk like I do. I used 1/2 cup Nestle chocolate chips with a little vegetable oil so it would drizzle. Dipping in candy melts would be good too.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 18 ounces peanut butter, crunchy or 18 ounces smooth peanut butter
- 6 cups corn flakes
- 3 ounces good quality chocolate, of your choice (I used Scharffen Berger Semisweet 62 percent.)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preparation:.
- Combine sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a full boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the whole jar of peanut butter. Mix well.
- Add corn flakes to a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over corn flakes and mix well, taking care to coat all of the corn flakes.
- With a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out and form into 1–2 inch balls, depending on your preference, and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Put the chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for about thirty seconds. Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.

Why Use Our Seeding Solutions?
No lawn service program is complete without a seeding solution to build or maintain thick grass! Whether you are looking to establish a new lawn or revitalize your existing lawn. Periodic seeding results in many benefits such as:
- Filling in bare spots, which act as a natural weed control.
- Seeding, such as hydroseeding (compared to traditional sod) for a new lawn develops a deeper root structure, resulting in a more drought tolerant lawn.
- Introducing new varieties of grass to older lawns in the Minneapolis area – many of which are more drought and disease resistant than the existent grass.
Schedule your Seeding Solutions Service consultation with our experts today!
Contact the Experts
Can I Do It Myself?
Using the traditional seeding methods which are readily available on the market may be convenient however; the cost and results could vary greatly leading to wasted money and wasted time. Knowing what seeding method you should that will give you results in the problem areas of your yard can be more difficult than you think. With Rainbow Lawncare's Seeding Solutions service, you'll get results without the headache.
What to Expect from Our Seeding Solutions Service?
Rainbow Lawncare offers a variety of seeding solutions personalized to your goals and lawn's needs and unique situation. We offer four different seeding solutions for you:
- Hydroseeding is a great way to establish a lawn without the high costs of sodding, and the inconsistent results than can happen with traditional seeding methods.
- Lawn Restoration, combines double-aeration, overseeding and top dressing with Prescription Organic Matter (POM), to restore and achieve a beautiful and naturally sustainable lawn.
- Overseeding creates a thick lawn, which is the best form of weed control.
- Broadcast application in conjunction with aeration improves the density of your lawn.
- Slit-seeding uses closely-spaced vertical cutting blades or discs to create a slit in the turf, in which seeds are placed.
Your lawn will have optimal results when combinations of these services are used. Your Rainbow Lawncare professional can advise you on what combination would work best for your lawn.
In addition, the proper selection of seed is critical to getting the best results. When deciding what type of seed to use, our experts take into consideration three factors:
- Light exposure
- Traffic
- Climate
Rainbow Lawncare chooses the types of seed that will be the best fit for your lawn.
No lawn service program is complete without some form of seeding.

The AIPRG internship was my first work experience in Yerevan. The working environment was well organized and each staff member had an expertise which they excelled in. I felt the importance of education and knowledge in a society while interning at AIPRG. It was a great experience to work with such highly qualified people. To be able to research and study such important issues concerning our people was also very interesting. Finally, the internship at AIPRG was a productive gain in both my professional career and my academic future. It gave me the drive to succeed in my professional career, while having to pursue a higher education to be more fit and qualified.
I was very satisfied with my internship at AIPRG. The office was well coordinated; the task was clear, the co-workers were very friendly and would assist me with any issue I would encounter. Even more, the office atmosphere was always productive and encouraging. I truly believe the staff at AIPRG was doing the best they could with the resources they had in their disposition. Having been so welcoming and encouraging, they motivated me every single day. Working conditions are very important and I was very satisfied with the latter in this case. Personally, I understand the importance of the issues they raise and present to the public. It is with such organizations that the general public gets a better understanding of the current and future situation of their country. Our people have always been intellectuals; therefore, we have to study each situation to be better prepared to face them when the situation is to arise. AIPRG serves its people with their presentation of the information and knowledge. That is how I viewed my internship…
Raffi Haroutunian:
"My professional and academic gains from interning at AIPRG vary. At first I was tasked with the duty of editing and reviewing the new AIPRG website. This involved reviewing documents and text that were found throughout the website. I was also able to interact on a professional level with my coworkers both in learning about AIPRG and its mission, while also being able to observe the impact AIPRG related events have on Armenia and its citizens. Most importantly I was able to spend my time organizing the vast contact database AIPRG has obtained over the years, in order to make the ability of AIPRG communications with interested individuals more fluid.
My general impressions form interning for AIPRG and overall in Armenia are good ones. As the country is still in a developmental stage and transitioning to many European standards, the need for interested individuals with skills in all aspects are needed to assist Armenia. AIPRG has professional individuals who are dedicated to the goal and mission of AIPRG, but also who have taken the time to help me get accustomed to both work and life in Armenia.
Thank you for being welcoming during the summer and accepting me as an intern. My time spent here was fun and productive."
Dzovinar Derderian:
"I learned different tactics of writing a policy paper, as well as conducting interviews for the research material of a policy paper. I improved my reading and writing skills in general and learned more about how a non-governmental think tank is managed and how it functions.
Overall I had a fantastic experience. I had the opportunity to meet and work with various interesting and professional people of different backgrounds."
Tania M. Balci:
"...The best word to describe my internship experience with AIPRG is invaluable. During my two months with the group, I was trusted with numerous responsibilities such as conference planning and acting as a liaison between the national/international Armenian community and AIPRG fellows. I also worked on a plethora of projects, including a piece I drafted on Armenia's political environment, which became my first published work. This piece was written as one section of a larger paper completed primarily by AIPRG fellow, Richard Giragosian.
Working in Washington with experienced economists, political analysts and other professionals through AIPRG has been a terrific learning experience—one which has helped me move my career forward and get directly involved in Armenia's development process. I made valuable business contacts with whom I intend to stay in touch and, most importantly, I made new friends. I am proud to be able to say that I was a part of AIPRG and helped contribute to the group's growth process."
Grigor R. Sargsyan:
"As a Masters student at Michigan State University, I wanted to make the most of my summer in the United States. By interning with AIPRG I was able to assume many responsibilities, such as the construction of the web site, arrangement of seminars, and organization/planning of the January 2004 conference. Besides this, I performed economic research and analysis of an ongoing project on monetary transmission mechanisms in Armenia. Even now that the summer is almost over, I have been able to extend and apply my work to my studies at MSU, and am continuing to work on the project with professionals from the IMF and World Bank, as well as people in Armenia.
Thanks to my internship with AIPRG, I had my first extended stay in Washington, DC. Coming from Armenia, this was a fantastic experience for me because not only did I get to work with professional economists, but I got to learn and explore the U.S. capital.
During my two months I made many new friends and contacts that will be valuable to me once I get my degree and start looking for a job. It was also special for me to be able to do something for Armenia, my homeland."

Mid-October is my favorite time of year. The air is cool and crisp (I can break out my sweaters,) the leaves begin to change, and alumni from many years past, and all over the world flock back to Toccoa Falls College to celebrate this place that was once their home. I'm always thankful to encounter alumni and get the chance to talk with them about their experience here, and I think it is hugely important that we as a campus hear their stories and learn from them. And every year, woven through all of the sentimentality of coming back, we love to have a good time.
The first of the major events that took place during homecoming weekend was the infamous basketball game between the current players and alumni. Lois Delaney Gymnatorium is packed with everyone from professors and their children to current and former students, to the parents of athletes, all coming to see the kick off (so to speak) of basketball season (to see the stats about the game, feel free to read Blaide Shafer's article on homecoming sports).
Following the game was the homecoming ceremony during which the queen is crowned. Quiet whispers flood through the auditorium as the girls make their grand entrance. One professor's daughter whispered with delight that "the princesses were coming!" Each girl was very admirable and perhaps worthy of the title of queen, but the crown went to senior representative Julia Lindsey. Former homecoming queen Miranda Cooper proudly gushed "Congratulations to Julia the queen! All of the ladies looked absolutely stunning and their hearts are just as beautiful. I just love all of them!" After the ceremony, the crowd migrated toward Earl Field, where a big white tent housed an ice cream social, hosted by many of our beloved faculty and staff members.
Saturday morning began with the homecoming parade, which featured an array of well crafted floats. Most all the clubs and associations were represented, from the pre-med majors to the artists. President Bob Myers and his family rode in the parade in style, making the slow drive around the campus in a white convertible. Another fantastic moment was the appearance of the homecoming queen and king from fifty years ago.
Saturday afternoon consisted of the duck race, another momentous occasion during the weekend. The Talon's own Cheyenne Capin's duck came in first place. Also going on in the afternoon was the grand opening of the museum located across the way from Gate Cottage. What an awesome place, so full of stories from those who have paved the way for us. If you get the chance to visit the museum, please do.
In addition to this, there were many sporting events covered by staff writer Blaide Shafer.
One of the most important parts of this life journey we're on is to acknowledge where we have been and those that have gone before us. As many have said, it is undeniable that God has his hand on TFC, and that his presence here is evident. Our history is rich with blessings, and I am honored to be part of it. As a senior, my prayer for the underclassmen is that they would recognize what a gift it is to be here, and the impact that their presence here not only has on the college now, but will eventually have on the world. As our founder, Dr. Forrest once said, "the sun never sets on the graduates of Toccoa Falls College."

The One Direction lads are not only busy rehearsing for their forthcoming Where We Are tour, they're also spending a lot of time in the studio, recording tracks for their fourth album…
And it's set to be the first of the lads' albums to have the majority of the creative input directly from the band members, who are of course Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik.
All of the singers have been writing tracks for the album, however, it's been reported today that Zayn is set to rap on the new album, under guidance from his friend and music producer Naughty Boy, whose real name is Shahid Khan…
Zayn and Shahid attended the Asian Power Awards this week, and it's believed they discussed more about Zayn's plan to rap while there.
A source close to 1D told The Sun, "Zayn's loved getting creative and is fast gaining confidence to try out new things musically.
"He even plucked up the courage to try to give rapping a shot."
The source added, "Everyone has been impressed with the results."
Stating further that Zayn now feels "comfortable" with where his life is right now – and particularly with his engagement to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards – the insider claimed that he's rapping about everything that brings him happiness.
The source concluded, "The results sound similar to Drake."
Hit songstress Emeli Sande has also been working with 1D on tracks for their new album, and of that, and of Naughty Boy's creative input, the insider said, "The rest of the boys will be joining Zayn soon to record one of the songs he co-wrote with Naughty Boy.
"Emeli has provided the track's big, catchy chorus."
Zayn's band mate Harry has also been working with One Republic's Ryan Tedder and with Erik Johnan Jens Carlsson, and with the latter, Harry wrote a song for US pop star, Ariana Grande.
It's believed that song will be included on 1D's new album.
Are you excited to hear the new album? It sounds like it's going to be very different to their previous work!
Here's a reminder of the title track from Midnight Memories…

A Brandon man faces theft charges after police say he was caught with his hand in the till.
In August, police received a report of internal theft occurring at a business in the Thomas Mall. An employee was allegedly skimming cash from the till while at work.
Although the amount of money stolen was called "not substantial," police arrested the suspect on Sunday. They continue to investigate.
A 38-year-old Brandon man will appear in court in March, facing charges of theft under $5,000.

ForYourArt & the City of West Hollywood present
The Extreme Present: Los Angeles
Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland, and Hans Ulrich Obrist with guests including Miranda July and David Lynch plus Patrick Belaga and Amalia Ulman
West Hollywood City Council Chambers
625 N San Vicente Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069
Friday, August 14th at 7pm
Live streaming will be accessible at www.weho.org/wehotv
The Age of Earthquakes book signing with Book Soup at 6pm

RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com by 8.10.2015, limited spaces available.
Los Angeles (August, 2015) – We all know that we are constantly distracted by the internet. We check our smartphones on average 110 times a day. But what exactly is the internet doing to our brains? How is it altering the structure of society and even the planet itself?
Presented by ForYourArt and the City of West Hollywood's Innovation and Technology Program "WeHoX," The Extreme Present: Los Angeles brings together three of the foremost commentators on the digital age: Douglas Coupland the renowned author of Generation X, Hans Ulrich Obrist, one of the world's best-known curators, and Shumon Basar, the writer, thinker and cultural critic.
In a special, rapid-fire event, the three of them will explore the digital era in which we are now living, which they call the "Extreme Present', introduced in their new book The Age of Earthquakes (Blue Rider Press). This will include a conversation between the authors and guests, each bringing unique angles of thought and expertise from arts, culture, and technology.
Miranda July and David Lynch will join the authors as they examine the neurological, social, cultural and geological effects that the "Extreme Present" is having on the textures of our lives. Artist and cellist Patrick Belaga will perform and artist Amalia Ulman will discuss her contribution to the book as well.
Basar, Coupland, Obrist and guests will bring their new 'Glossarium' to life, describing the unsettling experiences of the always-on, networked age. In the space of just 20 years, the internet has transformed us completely. It has changed not just the structure of our brains, but the structure of the planet. Our attention spans have narrowed to the length of a Beatles song. Our lives used to feel like stories; now they've collapsed to a perpetually refreshing stream of tweets and posts. We outsource our memory to the 'Cloud', and remember nothing we don't have to. All that exists is immediately in the now. The internet, like all technologies, is not being shaped to resemble humans. Humans are being shaped to resemble the internet. Welcome to the age of the Extreme Present.
The City of West Hollywood's WeHoTV, which provides access to coverage of City government meetings, issues, and informational programming, will host live coverage of the event on the City's WeHoTV channels and on the City's website. WeHoTV programs are available to Time Warner Cable customers within the City of West Hollywood on channel 10. AT&T U-verse customers across Southern California can access WeHoTV on channel 99. Live streaming will be accessible atwww.weho.org/wehotv and there will also be a link for on-demand replay following the event.
This event is supported in part by the Institute of the 21st Century (i21c). i21c is a project of the Pasadena Arts Council's Emerge Fiscal Sponsorship Program.

Patrick Belaga (b. 1991) is a classically trained experimental cellist who has been training and performing for 18 years. He received a Bachelor of Music degree in cello performance, and a secondary degree in audio production, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014.

Amalia Ulman is an airport based artist with an office in Downtown LA. Born in Argentina but raised in Spain, she studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins in London. Her works are primarily voiced in the first person, often blurring the distinction between the artist and object of study. In a multidisciplinary manner, she explores the relationship between consumerism and identity, class imitation and social deception, altruism and empathy. Recent solo shows and projects include International House of Cozy, MAMA, Rotterdam (2015); Stock Images of War, James Fuentes, New York (2014); The Destruction Of Experience, Evelyn Yard, London (2014) and Excellences & Perfections, a performance in social media that has been archived by Rhizome the New Museum, New York, and supported by Arcadia_Missa, London.

This is an original mixed media collage . I have used real antique Victorian Era scrap die cuts ( the girl and the chicken are from the turn of the Century ( not a reproduction). For the flower bouquet I have used abstract felt pieces. Colored pencil, crayon and ink have been used. I varnished the piece with antique glue. The mixed media collage is on watercolor paper ( 140lb. cold press) and measures 5.5 inches and 8.5. I have signed the back and the piece is unframed.
I have huge collection of vintage and rare ephemera and this piece was inspired by the Victorian scrap used in the piece. I like mixing old (Victorian) imagery which can be kind of dark with bright pop art color and imagery ( the felt flower imagery).
