About the Creator
I am a "cradle Christian" having been raised in the Presbyterian Church with fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers who have served as pastors. I have listened to thousands of sermons in my lifetime. But in the spring of 2010, a sermon struck me in a very visual way. With my art education background, visual drawings have been "erupting" from my heart and hands ever since - inspired by sermons, devotions, Bible reading, even conversations with friends! It is a joy to find a way to share my "divine doodles" to inspire and assure everyone of God's all-consuming love. My husband, an elementary school teacher, and I are the parents of two mid-20's sons. My family has been a source of encouragement to put my "scribbles" to print!

In late 2006 and 2007 a rapid rise in the price of corn (maize) resulted in attention to the question of whether production of biofuels will conflict with production of food. News reports from Mexico speculated that the increase in fuel production in the United States was to blame for a sharp rise in the price of tortillas. [1] By 2008 the focus of attention had moved to palm oil, a product commonly used for food, especially in the third world, which is increasingly being converted to biofuel, but is in rather inelastic supply, eight years being required from the planting of new plantations to production. This has resulted in dramatic prices rises and spot shortages.[2] In countries where half or more of the typical budget goes for food, the doubling of commodities prices by the Spring of 2008 created a serious crisis including riots in Egypt and Haiti. There will be a lag of some years before agricultural production can be expanded to meet demand. There were calls to abandon biofuel productions.[3][4] By mid-April, 2008 the food crisis was overshadowing the global credit crisis with some characterizing growing fuel rather than food as a "crime against humanity".[5] By the summer of 2008, a major conference on the food crisis was convened by the United Nations[6] and investors were beginning to take an interest in agriculture, but with a focus on consolidation of land holdings.[7]

Corn prices, which historically have been depressed with corn in the United States in surplus, rose from under $2 per bushel in the summer and fall of 2006 to nearly $4 in December, 2006 and January, 2007 as many ethanol plants came on-line and more were planned in the American Midwest. A market report from Mexico dated February 2, 2007 reported that the price of white corn, used in tortillas, had risen 52% since December and doubled over the past year. By April, 2008 the current corn futures price had risen to slightly above $6.00, with a slight drop anticipated for future deliveries.[8]
Mexico has a history of subsidizing the price of tortillas and of supporting corn prices, but two successive conservative governments have resulted in the dismantlement of that structure. Recently the price has risen 40% but is now capped at 8.5 pesos per kilogram due to negotiation between the government and the largest producers. The market in corn in Mexico may be less than free with preferential sales by the government to favored producers and quotas on duty free imports. The recent crisis has resulted in increase of the quotas. Mexico is the 4th largest corn producer in the world with an annual production of 22 million tons of corn a year. It imports 7 to 8 tons per year of yellow corn for livestock feed. White corn has historically been produced by local farmers but that production may have been disrupted due to depression of prices by low priced imports under NAFTA with many farmworkers emigrating to the United States. [9] [10]
Rice v. wine
Production of fuel is not the only alternative use of agricultural inputs. In Australia land used historically to produce rice has been diverted to production of wine grapes, a crop which takes less water and is considerably more profitable, at least with rice at low prices.[11] Another obvious use is feed for animals.
There appears to be no shortage of corn on the world market. It initially appeared that prices were unlikely, even with speculative pressure. to rise significantly above $4 a bushel, this has proved inaccurate as the price rose to $6 in 2008 despite a substantial increase in the United States of acres planted to corn. Only a minority of vehicles are flexible-fuel vehicles which can use 85% ethanol as fuel. In the United States there are very very few fueling facilities for 85% alcohol fuel.
By April, 2007 US farmers planned to plant corn on 90.5 million acres in 2007, a 12% increase in corn, a 10% reduction in acres planted to soybeans with decreases also in wheat and cotton. [12] Corn futures had fallen below $4.00 by April, 2007 after a 3 day collapse in the futures market.[13]
Due to the projected glut in production, attempts are being made by ethanol producers to promote legislation to increase the percentage of ethanol blended into fuel. Currently 10%, a raise to 20 or even 30 percentage is proposed. This level of ethanol will[14] increase corrosion, shorten engine life and result in increased air pollution.[15]
By September, 2007, it had become obvious that infrastructure to distribute ethanol had not kept pace with rapidly increasing production capacity.[16] Ethanol, it turns out, cannot be distributed by pipeline, but requires dedicated tanker trucks or rail cars, which are backordered. Additionally, rail spurs at the plants are often inadequate, as are pumping facilities. Combined with the continuing lack of vehicles which can use the fuel and locations where it can be purchased, these problems have resulting in decreasing prices for the commodity, especially in producing regions.[17]
Cellulosic ethanol
Production costs for cellulosic ethanol in 2007 remained above $2.00 a gallon with ethanol from corn being produced at a cost of $1.50 a gallon with corn at its then current price of about $4 a bushel being half the cost. [18] (It is usually assumed the feedstocks, generally woody agricultural waste, such as cornstocks, for cellulosic ethanol would be free, a rather questionable notion [19] ). Cellulose, like starch, can be broken down into its constituent sugars by the action of appropriate enzymes. These remain expensive, but intensive research continues with substantial private and governmental support. [20]
Long term considerations
Ethanol is produced in Brazil from sugar cane, the alternative product being sugar. Corn, the favored feedstock in the United States, is generally not consumed directly but fed to livestock. A world price of $6.00 a bushel for corn, if ethanol can be produced profitably at that price, would seem to be sufficient incentive for enough increased production to meet all projected needs. It is probable that the long period of depressed prices for corn has retarded production.
The US has a long history of import restrictions on foreign sugar (much more efficient to raise in tropical climates) and, now, foreign (Brazilian) ethanol. If such restrictions were eased, full exposure of US markets to global factors would substantially change the US picture.
The high price of petroleum for the foreseeable future
Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency expressed his opinion in October, 2007 that oil prices will remain high for the foreseeable future due to rapid increases in demand from the huge developing economies of India and China.[21] According to informed observers, OPEC, meeting in early December, 2007, seemed to desire a high but stable price that would deliver substantial needed income to the oil producing states, but avoid prices so high that they would negatively impact the economies of the oil consuming nations. A range of 70-80 dollars a barrel was suggested by some analysts to be OPEC's goal.[22] Analysts point out that major oil exporting countries are rapidly developing and are using more oil domestically. Particularly significant are Indonesia, which no longer exports oil, Mexico and Iran, where projected demand will exceed production in about 5 years, and Russia, whose domestic economy is growing rapidly.[23]
The matter of fertilizer
Expanded agricultural production is dependent on expanded fertilizer production which is itself dependent on natural gas as an input. The inflated prices for food which appeared in the winter of 2007-2008 was accompanied by a corresponding rise in the price of fertilizer and questions about the fertilizer industry's ability to supply sufficient fertilizer to further increase agricultural production.[24]
Global considerations
A sustained rise in the price of corn should take pressure off the global market historically caused by surplus supplies in the United States, substantially improving the situation for corn growers in less developed nations. This would seem to be a happy consequence, provided consumers in those countries are able to feed themselves. Sustained, wide-spread use of agricultural resources for production of fuel would result in a world-wide rise in the price of all agricultural products and inputs, which have been depressed throughout the 20th century. This could lead to both rural prosperity or hunger depending on the local situation. Increased returns from agriculture would provide incentive and resources for the development of rural infrastructure. In the Congo, for example, the rail, road, and water transportation system is so dilapidated and poorly managed that it is difficult to get agricultural products to market.[25] Increased agricultural prices could provide some of the funds to support repair and maintenance.
Agricultural development
Rather than high prices bringing prosperity to the smallholders in undeveloped countries a pattern is developing of small farmers being displaced in favor of commercial farming projects with the displaced being offered food aid.[26] Large amounts of land are being purchased or leased in undeveloped countries by developed nations for agricultural use.[27] In some cases large tracts of land, sometimes including lands cultivated by indigenous farmers, are being transfered by central governments to land speculators.[28] The World Bank supports such investments provided economic benefits for rural populations are included.[29]
Food aid
By September, 2007 it was reported that increased commodity prices had reduced the amount of food American aid programs could buy. This was aggravated by a steep, but probably ephemeral rise, in the price of wheat to record levels. Support for American food aid programs is to a certain extent based on the need to market surplus crops. With the disappearance of surpluses and rising prices it makes little sense to buy scarce food here when it could be bought locally, but this is opposed by agribusiness interests and American shippers.[30][31]
Brazil, with 175 million acres planted to crops now, may have the capacity to double its planted acreage by expanding cultivation of the Cerrado, a vast tropical savanna. This would result in a capacity comparable to the United States. While the United States remains the greatest producer of soybeans, Brazil is the largest exporter with increasing exports to China. However, infrastructure is inadequate with farmers having to truck soybeans over rutted roads for a thousand miles to reach inadequate port facilities where ships may wait a month for a berth. Investors have bought up huge tracts of land, dominating production. The governor of Mato Grosso, Blairo Maggi, of the Maggi Group, is the largest soybean grower in the world, with 400,000 acres. The US multinationals, Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland have a substantial involvement in the soybean trade. Caught between the need for financing from the multinationals and inadequate infrastructure for marketing of their crops, many farmers, while producing a large volume of soybeans, are not showing corresponding profits. Costs in January, 2007 to move a ton of soybeans to a seaport for export were $88 in Brazil versus $15 in the United States. [32] [33]
The cerrado
The cerrado was thought worthless for agriculture until researchers at Brazil's Brazil's agricultural and livestock research agency, Embrapa, discovered that it could be made fertile by appropriate additions of phosphorus and lime. Researchers also developed tropical varieties of soybeans, until then a temperate crop.[34]
Nowadays the "cerrado" region contributes with more than 70% of the beef cattle production in the country ("Pecuária de Corte no Brasil Central"; Beef Cattle Production in Central Brazil, Corrêa, 1989), and thanks to irrigation and soil correcting techniques it is also an important production centre of grains, mainly soya, beans, maize and rice. Great extensions of "cerrado" are also utilised in the production of cellulose pulp for the paper industry, with the cultivation of several species of Eucalyptos and Pinus, but still as a secondary activity.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Norman Borlaug has described the Cerrado as one of Earth's last remaining arable frontiers for the expansion of agriculture. The 2006 World Food Prize was awarded to former Brazilian Minister of Agriculture Alysson Paolinelli, soil scientist Edson Lobato (also of Brazil), and American soil scientist A. Colin McClung for their leadership in soil science and policy implementation that opened the Cerrado to agricultural and food production.[35]
It is probable the scientific techniques used in Brazil could be extended to other tropical and sub-tropical savannas, particularly in Africa. Corn and cotton are potential crops. Subsidized fertilizer and quality seed turned agriculture in Malawi around quickly with corn production increasing to 3.4 billion metric tons in 2007 from 1.2 billion in 2005.[36] The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation intends to invest heavily in improving agricultural opportunities for farmers in Africa, focusing on poor women.[37][38]

The skin on your feet is important and deserves to be pampered, and not just for aesthetic reasons. Caring for your feet can keep fungus and harmful skin disorders at bay. For these reasons, make foot care a priority. Ready to get started?
Keep feet dry and clean to avoid fungal infections.
Part of pampering your feet includes keeping your feet clean. Make sure you are regularly showering/bathing and cleaning your feet with soap. Treat yourself to regular foot baths (use an inexpensive plastic tub and fill it with hot water and epsom salt, then soak your feet). Dry your feet well and apply a moisturizing lotion to keep your skin in good shape. Ensure that your feet stay dry on a daily basis by wearing well-ventilated shoes. Keeping your feet clean and dry will lessen your chance of developing a fungal infection.
Care for your feet to avoid athlete's foot.
Athlete's foot is a common condition that affects the feet. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that is contagious and spreads easily. Stinging, itching and burning are all symptoms of this skin disorder. These symptoms are caused by a fungus that grows on top of the skin on a person's feet. This fungus grows quickly in wet, warm environments — this explains why keeping feet dry helps to minimize fungal infections.
How to treat athlete's foot.
Did you know that most cases of athlete's foot can be treated with over-the-counter medication? In other words, most people can get rid of athlete's foot without going to the doctor. If you have athlete's foot, you can treat it with anti-fungal sprays, lotions, etc., which can be found at your local pharmacy. Ask your pharmacist for help finding products for treatment.
If over-the-counter treatments are not taking care of your athlete's foot, see a dermatologist or other health care professional.
Another way you can pamper your feet and avoid athlete's foot is by wearing sandals when using a communal shower (such as those found at campsites). Communal showers are breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi. Protect your feet by wearing proper shower shoes.

Employment protection legislation: its economic impact and the case for reform (713 kB)
Despite the large volume of economic literature on employment protection legislation (EPL), there remain remarkable disagreements among economists and policy-makers on the subject. Many highlight the risks associated with stringent EPL, both for labour market performance and for productivity growth. Others think that worrying about EPL is largely a waste of time, since the impact is ambiguous according to economic theory and rarely of high significance in cross-country empirical studies.
This paper reviews some of the recent theory and empirical evidence.

Jang Song Thaek's purge was expected a long ago by the book Kim Jung Il's Will and Kim Jung Un's future (2012). The reasons are mainly because of Kim Jung Il's Will, deterioration of, Kim Kyung Hui's health, and Kim Jung Un's visit to China- Kim Jung Il's Will and Deterioration of Kim Kyung Hui - Kim Jung Il, most oust those who mention about innovation and openness - Kim Kyung Hui "I will complete the power structure for Kim Jung Un"According to the source, it was known on August 20, 2013 that Kim Jung Hui's health got too bad to prepare for her death."It is my responsibility to complete the idolization of Kim Jung Un in the Workers Party and my daeth" said Kim Jung Hui, and she kept her words. She was deeply involved in the change of "Ten Principles for a Monolithic Ideological System" to "Ten Principles for a Monolithic Leader Ideological System" and directed the process to consolidate the Kim Jung Un regime.Jang Song Thaek's purge was an extension of consolidating the Kim Jung Un regime, and more importantly it was the "assignment from Kim Jung Il's Will." Before his death, Kim Jung Il mentioned about the sectarian and depict them and stated that 'those who talked about needs of Capitalism innovation and openness in the country' it seemed that Kim meant Jung as one of them. The answer for the question why the purge has to be now is because Kim Kyung Hui's health got worse, and it was absolutely necessary for her to complete her duty to execute according to her brother Kim Il Sung's will. 2. Chinese Foreign Policy towards North Korea and Kim Jung Un's visit to China - Xi Jinping will meet Kim Jung Un only if Kim opens the country while abandoning the nuclear weapon
- Kim Jung Un postpones his visitation to China to early next year NKSIS independently confirmed that Kim Jong Un had a meeting scheduled in November to visit. The time between November 2 and November 8, North Korean delegation visited China for in prior to Kim Jong Un's scheduled visit, and discussed the related issues. However, it was confirmed that Kim Jung Un's visit, which was scheduled in November, became postponed to early next year. The reason was that Beijing demanded that Pyongyang had to show the improvement in the level of innovation and openness in the country and visible effort to resolve the nuclear conflict. The purge of Jang Song Thaek was carried out at this point. By ousting Jang, who was known as a Chinese expert and a man who wished for more openness and innovation in the country, North Korea would like to warn China and send a message that "Kim Jung Un is the leader of the nation" within the country. It was a signal that nothing can be done without Kim Jong Un in North Korea. According to the senior source, Vice President of the People's Republic of China Li Yuanchao personally mentioned about Jang to Kim Jong Un, saying "Listen to Jang Song Thaek. If Jang Song Thaek gets rid of the power, Chinese aids to North Korea will not be carried out smoothly." It was rare for China to get involved in internal affairs of Jang Song Thaek, breaking the principle of non-intervention between neighboring countries. Hitherto, the editor of NKSIS did not release the news right away because there were too many way to interpret the news. However, now it was seen that China already knew about the internal matters in North Korea including Jang's ouster in advance and tried to give pressure to Pyongyang. The Purge of Jang Song Thaek demonstrates that there is a change in the power structure of North Korea, and it makes difficult for the China and the international community, (the Western world and the U.S. in particular), who push North Korea to unlock its door for innovation and openness, look ahead to Kim Jung Un's next move. This strategy shows North Korea's foreign policy towards China and the U.S., giving the world an indication to resolve the conflict around the Korean peninsula.

In Franklin County, some insurance premiums under Obamacare are less than what they were prior to the new health care law taking effect, according to a nonprofit organization.
Asked if this means the Affordable Care Act was good for Franklin County, Yevgeniy Feyman with the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research said, "It sort of looks like it. It's definitely hard to say without looking specifically at what health care costs are like in Franklin County."
It appears Franklin County was in the minority in Missouri. Statewide, rates went up significantly in some cases, according to the study, which was done by the New York City-based Manhattan Institute.
The study looked at health plans for men and women aged 27, 40 and 64 who do not get their health insurance through an employer or from Medicare or Medicaid.
Feyman said the study showed that rates went up 49 percent on average in counties across the country.
"This is just a function of adding more regulations to markets that are relatively lightly regulated," Feyman said.
Asked why Franklin County's rates may have fallen after Obamacare and the state as a whole went up, Feyman said, it is difficult to pick out any county-specific factors.
However, he said, "When you've got a big enough market insurers will try to undercut each other possibly even below cost just to capture a particular market and push a rival out or make it harder for the rival to get that market."
However, the lower prices after Obamacare may not last, Feyman said.
"It's certainly possible that this is a short-lived phenomenon in Franklin County," Feyman said.
Not all rates fell in Franklin County after Obamacare, according to the study.
The average monthly health insurance premium in Franklin County before the Affordable Care Act for men aged 27 was $160 compared to the current Obamacare rate of $167, the study says.
The study looked at the average of the five lowest-cost plans excluding catastrophic policies for the most populous ZIP code in the county.
Other Rates
For 40-year-old men in Franklin County the average monthly premium prior to the Affordable Care Act was $216 and dropped to $204 under Obamacare, the report shows.
For 64-year-old men in Franklin County the rate dropped from $689 before the new health care law to $480 now, according to the institute.
For women in Franklin County, the rates after the Affordable Care Act dropped even more. The study shows the following:
For 27-year-old women monthly premiums rates dropped from $204 to $167; 40-year-old women, $323 to $204; and 64-year-old women $672 to $480.
Statewide, rates went up significantly for men aged 27 and 40 after Obamacare, the research says.
The study showed the following:
• Monthly premiums for 27-year-old males went up 97 percent, or from $102 to $201, and 40-year-old men saw a 67 percent increase, or $147 to $246.
• Statewide, men aged 64, saw a slight decrease in monthly premiums after Obamacare from $586 to $578, it says.
• Statewide, for women, monthly premiums went up in three age categories under the Affordable Care Act. For 27-year-old women the rate went up 30 percent, $155 to $201; age 40, 12 percent increase, $220 to $246; and age 64, up 3 percent, or $559 to $578.
The Missouri Branch of Americans for Prosperity weighed in on the research, saying the information exposes "substantial premium hikes" facing many Missourians.
"Today we learn that the Show-Me State is showing some of the highest Obamacare rate hikes by county in the nation," said Patrick Werner, Missouri state director of Americans for Prosperity. "Missourians are already getting nickel and dimed with higher prices for gas, food, and energy. Now they get socked with news of even higher health care premiums. How much more can we ask from the beleaguered taxpayer before they throw up their hands and throw in the towel?"
As for someone who says this is just a partisan study that leans in a conservative direction, Feyman said, "It's easy to dismiss something that you don't like as simply being partisan."
The study's methodology was largely solid, he said, adding that the main criticism has been that 2013 rates were compared to 2014 rates.
Some people say that rates before the Affordable Care Act can't be compared to rates under the new law, he said.
"We disagree with that profoundly," Feyman said, adding that the study aimed to be "objective."

Having spent two weeks on the road working in Florida, my husband and I were headed back north to go home and found ourselves in Vero Beach on Thanksgiving Day. We thought it would be nice to hole up there for a few days and rest before heading home. After being turned down at most places on the strip, we tried The Islander. Mary Jane, who with her husband are the resident managers, was super friendly and welcoming to us. She even offered to share their Thanksgiving meal with us! We were delighted with our old-timey room with king sized bed (one of the problems of searching for a room at the last minute is finding a king bed). The room had a coffee maker, a refrigerator, microwave, even a sink in the small "kitchen area" and a 2-burner hot plate as well. We stocked up on a few supplies at the store located right next door, and hit the beach just across the street. Mary Jane pointed us to Mulligan's, the only restaurant open on Thanksgiving Day, and we had a very good meal there.
We slept well that night but were awakened but some industrial sounding hum. Washing machine? Ice machine? We were in room 17, which apparently shares a wall with some utility room. Nevertheless, we had our coffee and eventually headed on out.
Mary Jane called us into the office.
She had mistakenly double-booked our room and we had to move into a different room. Room 16 has 2 beds rather than a king. No coffee maker. No little hot plate. The remote for the tv didn't work.
She thanked us for being flexible, although we were given the choice only to switch rooms or leave and get a refund for our second night (which we paid on arrival).
The blush was off the rose. The blankets are ripped (were ripped in both rooms) and the a/c is very very loud. I don't know what the humming was but it was annoying. Our second room, room 16, was on the other wall of the utility area.
But worst of all, after we kindly moved our things, Mary Jane suddenly wasn't at all friendly any more. She wouldn't even look at us. I thought she could have at least offered up a coffee maker, but she did not.
So while our visit started out to be wonderful, it ended on a bit of a sour note.
I would like to say The Islander Grill, a tiny restaurant attached to the hotel, had wonderful food and a very charming owner.

Keeping the Holiday Spirit With Gift Exchanges for Kids
When did buying holiday gifts become a burden? Something that I feel obligated to do instead of wanting to? Schlepping through the stores, trying to find something — the perfect something — for that special someone (someones) in your life. It needs to be something they need, something they want and preferably, something that is on sale (and if it's shiny, even better).
I'm being a bit harsh I think. But less than two weeks to go to Christmas and I think I'm shopped out.
I didn't used to feel this way. I don't remember how old I was when I started exchanging gifts with my friends, but I remember loving it. I was young — maybe 10 or 11 — and with the help of my mom, I would go to the local flea market and pick out something I thought they would like. Then, one day after school, we would all meet at someone's home and exchange. It was so much fun — getting and receiving gifts with my friends. It made me feel so grown up.
As I got older, the gifts evolved and the number of presents I needed to buy increased. But still, I relished it all.
And then I had kids. And my thoughts on gift giving — and present shopping — diverged in two wildly different directions.
I LOVE shopping for gifts for kids. Love, love, love. It's one of my absolute favorite things to do. Especially for little kids. Put me in a toy store and I'm thrilled. The lights! The noise! The pieces! The whole experience is so loud and chaotic and tactile — from browsing the shelves to offering up whatever it is I have ultimately decided on to the recipient. And when a kid opens a gift — a really good gift — well, the reaction is always worth it. Always.
And I think that's why my feelings on buying gifts for grownups have diminished so much. I mean how exciting is it to buy a sweater? And how exciting is it to unwrap one?
That's why as my friends got older and started having kids too, I was more than happy to stop shopping at the mall for them and start heading to Toys "R" Us for their little ones. But as the years when on, there were some complications. I had more kids than some of my friends and less than others. And some had no kids at all. So what do you do? Do you worry about keeping it even? Spell out in advance how much you should spend? Let me tell you, dealing with gift giving logistics can definitely suck the holiday spirit for sure.
That's why I love the arrangement that I have with a group of friends from college (Suzanne included). We haven't done it every year, but we have in the past and it has been really successful (and fun). Depending on who comes to our holiday get-together, there are four couples with anywhere between four and ten kids. To buy a gift for each child would be a lot (financially and planning-wise), so instead we do a round robin. This year, each child will buy a gift (or at least his mom or dad will) for the child who is directly below him age-wise. We had to do a little rearranging to make sure siblings weren't paired up, but once we made a switch or two, it worked out beautifully. This year our big exchange will be this weekend at my house (which reminds me that I had better start cleaning!).
Everyone wins this way I think. The kids all get a gift, which is always fun, but they also get to help pick out a special present for their friend.
And we all get to spend an enjoyable evening together.
Despite our differences (see: this site) Suzanne and I are quite good friends who actually agree on many, many things (for example, our thoughts on whether or not it is a good idea to scale a building in an attempt to show certain boys how brave and strong we are, are eerily similar). And while there are myriad parenting topics that we disagree on, the truth of the matter is that we also tread on common ground quite a bit. So in the interest of celebrating our mutuality, we are both very happy (well, I'm happy, she's enthused) to present Where We Meet Week, a series of posts where we see eye to eye. Like how she feels about the topic I just blogged on (and I'm glad we are on the same page because that's how we handle gift exchanges with our families).
But just because our views are united, we still recognize that that there are many, many, many ways to parent — and dole out holiday gifts. So as always, feel free to tell us how wrong we are. We love that!
And don't worry, next week we'll go back to being contrary.
P.S. By the way, we are both "pro" scaling buildings. But to get that story, you'll have to read our posts during Where We Meet Week: College Edition.

Bender senses shocks
|Click here to download a PDF
Originally published in the April 26, 1990, issue of EDN
With the aid of a simple mounting system and some soldered-on weights, a piezoelectric "bender" can detect mechanical shocks. The bender comprises a piezoelectric-ceramic element bonded to a thin brass disc. Such assemblies form the heart of many telephone annunciators and wrist-watch or panel-mounted alarms.
Depending on the mounting scheme, the bender can sense shocks in one axis (Figure 1a) or three axes (Figure 1b). For one-axis sensing, solder one edge of the bender to a mounting bolt. Opposite the mounting bolt, solder a weight to increase the bender's sensitivity. A small hook affixed to the mounting substrate limits motion so that the brittle piezoelectric element will not crack.
Figure 1 Solidly mounting one end of a piezoelectric "bender" and affixing a weight to the opposite edge transforms the bender into a shock sensor. Here, "a" is sensitive to vertical-axis shocks only; "b" senses shocks in all three axes.
For three-axis sensitivity, solder one edge to a mounting bolt as before. At the other edge, solder a flat-head bolt that points away from the mounting substrate. Use a pair of jam nuts to increase the assembly's polar moment of inertia. The jam nuts' position determines the bender's sensitivity.
In both cases, apply your soldering iron as briefly as possible to the bender to avoid damaging the piezoelectric element's bond to the brass disc.
Figure 2 shows a simple alarm circuit. Giving the bender a good smack will develop several volts across R1, the 10-MΩ resistor. The dual-timer IC, IC1, will then pulse the output alarm for one minute at a 1-Hz rate. The alarm has its own driver circuit and sounds a piercing 90-dB tone when energized.
Figure 2 The circuit sounds a 1-sec alarm whenever you give the bender a good smack.
The bender and alarm are both available from Projects Unlimited, Dayton, OH.

Hi everyone! My name is Baby Girl! I'm about 6 years old and as sweet as can be. I'm a very lucky girl because NBRAN saved me from being sent to a shelter in Louisiana during the flooding that occurred there earlier last year. The shelters were overloaded already and any dog that was surrendered to shelters faced certain euthanasia. My previous owners could not keep me because I went after their chickens. Another family tried to help but their little boy was allergic to me. That's when a rescue partner reached out to NBRAN for help. Thanks to NBRAN, I'm an "honorary" Brittany mixed with some Hound. My foster Dad just loves me to pieces because I'm very easy going, lovable and sweet. I love to romp and play with my foster pals but when it's time for cuddles, I'm "all in"! I love kids and love to play or watch TV with them on the sofa! I'm housebroken and trustworthy in the house. I'm spayed and up to date on all my vaccinations. My foster home is in Louisiana but I can be transported up to 1200 miles through our Canine Railroad. My adoption fee is a modest $275.00 but trust me, I'm worth way more than that! If you're looking for a wonderful, loving, and playful companion, I'm your gal....Baby Girl, that is! For more information, please contact Denise Turgeon at email@example.com.
Thank You!

World Cup Stunner: Germany Crushes Brazil in 7-1 Semifinal
And you just lost your office pool.

Did you put money on Brazil to win the World Cup this year? Sorry about that. Germany just trounced this year's host country in a 7-1 semifinal match. And five of those German goals happened in the game's first 30 minutes. With Brazil favored by many to take the whole thing, fans around the world were shocked.
Brazil fans were caught on camera during the game's broadcast, and they weren't quite happy about what was happening.

In May 2016 I graduated from Syracuse University, and then was faced with a huge question, "What do I do now?" I have always considered myself indecisive when it comes to making big decisions, so I asked myself this question, "If I had just one more day to live, where would I choose to spend it?" And that leads me to where I am now, living in my hometown with all of my family. Since I've come home from college, I have bought a house and remodeled it, bought a corgi (Who else loves corgi's as much as I do!?), and everyday I continue to learn the in's and out's of property management.
Lindsay Laurello purchased this house in 2002
Country living with all of the amenities of home!
Had another great weekend with the girls! We did wine tours and even ventured to Jewel's Dance Hall on Friday night! Thank you for your great home.
This is my second time staying at this location and I must say that we really do enjoy it. We really enjoy the fire pit and the pavilion sitting area. A more up-to-date grill would be beneficial to the house. I really like that there is transportation to and from the strip! Lindsay the owner, responds quickly to all messages and is easy to work with. I can't wait to stay here again! Thanks for a great weekend!
Wish it would have had a gas grill and some other little things for example dish towels
My boyfriend Jay and I had friends up from Cincinnati who had never been to the region before. They arrived on Friday evening at various times. The house was very clean and ready for guests. We set up the kitchen with food and beverages for the weekend and picked out our room. I grew up in the area and contacted a local friend who was super sweet and brought us some wood for the weekend. We built a fire and as friends arrived, we sat around and started visiting. We walked over to Laurello to enjoy some music and finished the night around the fire after the last couple arrived. Saturday we rented a bus from Richmond Limo--our driver Jim was awesome. We were joined by some of our local friends and 18 of us ventured around to local wineries: Kosicek, Hundley, Grand River Cellars and Benny Vino's as well as taking some pictures at the Harpersfield covered bridge. The wineries knew we were coming and All were VERY accommodating. We were back at the house by 7:00.....we enjoyed music from Laurello, played cornhole, had another fire and then sat around and sang music we played after the band packed up. We had a fantastic weekend and would highly recommend renting this house!!! Thank you Lindsay!!!!

This is a great weekend away type of home for groups of 8. The fire pit and grill backyard area was great for my family, grandchildren and our dog. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to make our stay like home. The bathrooms and bedrooms were nicely accommodating. I would definitely recommend this property to large groups of adults. The owner of the property was very available and attentive to all needs and concerns that I had, and I would rent from her again! Thank you for making your home available to groups with pets!
The house was clean, organized and stocked with the supplies we needed for the weekend including pots pans, etc. The Laurello's were very accomidating and even left some chocolate and a couple bottles of wine when we checked in. If your going to Geneva for the wineries this isn't far from most especially the popular ones and not far from Giant Eagle either. Overall, worth the price to stay.
This is our 7th or 8th year staying at the ranch by the winery or the farmhouse (both flank Laurello Winery and Vineyard). We love the location -- 15-20 minutes to Geneva State Park beach and Geneva-on-the-lake strip. We enjoyed nice cook-outs at the home and at the GOL Community Park (great playground for little kids). Robinson's at the intersection of SR 534 and 307 just up the road has the best pies and sweet corn in season. We love it!
Backyard is sprawling! Play Bocce or Ring Fling!

The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Pietro Bracci. Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain has appeared in several notable films, including Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita.
Coins are purportedly meant to be thrown using the right hand over the left shoulder. This was the theme of 1954's Three Coins in the Fountain and the Academy Award-winning song by that name which introduced the picture. An estimated 3,000 Euros are thrown into the fountain each day. The money has been used to subsidize a supermarket for Rome's needy; however, there are regular attempts to steal coins from the fountain.

Preliminary results from the ESA STSE project on SST diurnal variability, its regional extent and implications in atmospheric modelling (SSTDV:R.EX.–IM.A.M.)
- Authors:
- Abstract:
- This study presents some preliminary results of the ESA Support To Science Element (STSE) funded project on the Diurnal Variability of the Sea Surface Temperature, regarding its Regional Extend and Implications in Atmospheric Modelling (SSTDV:R.EX.–IM.A.M.). Comparisons of SEVIRI SST with AATSR show zero biases and standard deviations around 0.5 K mostly in the Tropics where SEVIRI is found colder. Sensitivity tests on the methodology to derive foundation temperature fields show that using only quality 5 SEVIRI data results in warmer foundation fields while there is an added 0.2 K variability when using multi-day composites. Diurnal warming signals exceeding 2 K are identified in the European Seas but also in the mid-latitudes of the North and South Atlantic as well as in areas with strong currents. In the attempt to connect temperature measurements from satellites and in situ instruments, the 1-dimensional General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM) is applied. Preliminary results show that the initial temperature and salinity profiles may give a warmer start-up in the model while the light extinction scheme is a controlling factor for the amplitude and vertical extend of the daily signal.

I highly recommend Wendy Brentnall as a music teacher. She has inspired my son by encouraging him in ...
On retirement from work I promised myself that I would learn how to play the guitar which is something I had been thinking about for years. I was fortunate that I chose Wendy's Music School. My tutor,Scott, has assisted me greatly with clear, informative lessons and has also shown the necessary patience with me. I appreciate the fact that there is no pressure and Scott's calming influence has been most beneficial. I'm looking forward to many years playing my guitar and thank Wendy and Scott for their input. The saying "You are never too old to learn" is so true.
My son has been learning piano from Wendy for more than one year, and he loves it so much! Wendy is an amazing teacher and obviously has a lot of experiences of teaching young kids. She has been passionate, patient and very helpful. I have recommended her to my son's friend as well and the little boy absolutely loves her lesson too. Thanks Wendy for all the efforts you put to build up the interest of my son in playing piano and in enjoying music!
When my 9-year old daughter Isabella showed an interest in taking up piano, Wendy Brentnall was recommended to me as a teacher who was patient, fun and skilled. Wendy is a gifted pianist and instructor whose passion for music inspires audiences and students alike. Over the past 12 months she has identified and nutured Isabella's musical strengths and used this enthusiasm to address some of the more challenging areas of music theory. Wendy has truly connected with Isabella by tailoring her teaching methods to where she knows will keep Isabella's interest. Her ability to use a range of tools (including iPhone apps), insight and a sense of humor to teach and instil her methods is truly impressive to watch. She also makes learning piano fun and interesting by allowing Isabella to choose some of her own pieces, and by using rewards to give her a sense of accomplishment. She even engages Isabella in timely challenges – from her first Piano Preparatory Exam (with a Final score of 100%) to the Christmas concert – to give her the skills and confidence needed with her instrument! Over the last year, she has also inspired and motivated Isabella to strive for new goals in her playing repertoire! Wendy has helped my daughter to appreciate the joy of piano playing, confidently understand music theory and, most importantly, enjoy music and love to go to lessons! Her piano playing is a welcome addition to our home and it is lovely to hear the progress she continues to make under Wendy's instruction. Wendy is a gifted and enthusiastic teacher and I would highly recommend her as a piano teacher capable of helping your child develop a love for music, self-confidence and an understanding of the dedication and practice necessary to do well with their chosen instrument. – Sarah Riitano, Parent

Loved the service! Very professional.
It never ceases to amaze me how much difficulty some parents find in encouraging their child to practice playing a musical instrument. Very few younger aged students will practice of their own volition. Not many five year old kids will say to their parents "Now please excuse me, I am about to head into my room to practice the piano for the next hour or two". However, we have found that the more actively parents are involved, the more the child will feel there is a reason to practice. Read more

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that approximately 15 percent of Americans use private drinking water supplies. Shallow wells provide an economical water source in areas with a high water table. They are a popular solution as a source of water for domestic or irrigation purposes, especially in isolated areas which are not connected to a water grid. If you have a shallow aquifer --- also known as a water table --- you can reasonably expect to draw up to 5 gallons of water per minute. The depth of the water table must be within 10 to 15 feet from the surface for a shallow well to be viable.
Things You'll Need
- Riser pipe
- Drive couplings
- Wellpoint
- Post hole digger
- Pipe driver
- Carpenter's level
- Pipe wrenches
Choose a location for your shallow well. It must be at least a 100 feet from drain fields and animal yards and a 150 feet from any cesspools and dry wells to avoid contaminating the aquifer.
Dig or drill a hole up to a foot below the water table level with the posthole digger. Make the hole 1 or 2 inches wider than the wellpoint. The wellpoint is a perforated tube used to collect the water from the water-bearing sand.
Insert the wellpoint into the hole. Attach riser pipe sections to the wellpoint until the riser pipe. Attach a driving cap to the riser pipe to protect the threads and transmit the blow of the pipe driver. Use a pipe driver the well point down. Use a pipe wrench to ensure a tight connection.
Check that the wellpoint and riser pipe are completely vertical with your carpenter's plumb. Attach a hand-pitcher pump to the riser pipe.
Tips & Warnings
- Rub the openings of the wellpoint with a bar of soap to avoid clay and sand from entering.
- For safety reasons, you should seal and abandon any test holes or unsuccessful wells. Private wells are not regulated by the EPA and therefore may not have experts regularly checking the quality of the water. The owners of a shallow well must take precautions to protect their water supply.

(Authors Note: Part 5 is here. I still dont know how many parts there will be or the outcome of it all. Im literaly going with the flow with the story and figuring out what happens as it goes along. So once again thanks for reading and enjoy.)
(1:35 am)Troy was walking home from the park. About an hour ago Troy came out to his best friend Evan. The weight on his shoulders has finally dissapeared, finally he told someone the secret that had been bothering him for years. He walked down the dimly lit streets to his home.
(Inside Troys room) Troy layed in his bed staring at his ceiling. For some reason this was a habit and a relief just staring at his plain white ceiling thinking and pondering. He thought about just coming out of the closet to Evan. He was happy that Evan accepted who he was. The words of encouragement he gave Troy were the words he needed to hear. Be yourself plain and simple......or is it? Troy then started to speak to himself. (' Hey Tyler guess what I just came out to Evan. You know the cute Latin kid. HAHAHA yea he is cute. I kissed him and he didnt mind one bit. No not one bit. You know Tyler I really like this kid but he's not gay am I wasting my time or.........*sigh*...maybe I am but......just having him around it just.....makes things.....easier you know. Tyler man I wish you could see how happy this kid makes me I mean really happy. Dad would freak wouldnt he?.....Please Tyler I hope....I hope I have your blessing.
(Evans room)Evan was talking to his late mother while looking at her picture. 'Mom I think....I think I'm........confused.' This guy is my best no my first best friend and I like him but not that way but when he kisses me. Evan stopped then said 'but the way he kisses me it....its nice...yea.....no....yea it is nice. *sigh* sorry mom Im kinda stuck. I guess theres no point in thinking about it now I'm too tired to think Good night mom I love you. Evan kissed his mothers picture,placed it on the nightstand and went to bed.
(Next day at school Chemistry class) Evan walked into chem class. Troy was sitting at his desk. Troy waved at him,Evan waved back and went to go sit next to him. 'hey stud' Troy whispered in Evan's ear. Evan rolled his eyes and whispered 'hey no chance.' he smiled at Troy and Troy laughed back. 'thanks man for last night' Troy said to him. 'hey man nothings changed your still my bro'. They pounded fists and smiled at each other with Troy winking at Evan.
Chem class went on (too long) The teacher made the class work in partners. They had to mix certain chemicals to get a certain color for each(Authors note: yea i hate chemistry so I'm B.S.ing this part) Troy was reading the intructions while Evan was doing the mixing.
Then SHE came to their table. 'hey baby.' a girl with wavy brown hair and outstanding blue eyes came up to Troy and kissed him on the cheek. The girl had a banging body she was fit and toned and had a nice tan and yes an ass. 'uh hi Natasha' said Troy both surprised and dissapointed. Evan knew that name was this Troy's girlfriend? 'you didnt call me last night you ok?' she said rubbing his musular arms. 'uh yea sorry hun I was out with my parents.' Natasha then looked at Evan. 'so Troy you going to introduce me to your ......she paused and analyzed Evan looking him up and down like he was some lower class citizen. she spoke again 'your uh friend?' 'yea babe this is Evan. Evan, Natasha.' ' she looked at Evan and said 'pleasure I'm sure'. Evan said hey knowing already this girl wasnt right. Natasha itmediatly turned her attention to Troy and asked ' so baby when are we gonna you kno' she winked at him 'um nows not the time Natasha.' 'aww but Troy..' she said pucking her lips out to make her look all innocent.
Natasha babe can we talk later were kinda working here. Troy said to her. she then gave a quick kiss goodbye to Troy and looked at Evan one more time. Bye Evan she said both erotically and sarcastically at the same time.
Evan looked a Troy and Troy couldnt help but feel embarrased. Evan then whispered to Troy. 'Um Troy I gotta question for you how are you going to explain the gay thing to her.' Troy looked at him angrily and said we're not.
Class ended and the two boys walked home. They walked in silence. Troy spoke ' Evan look man I'm not with Natasha cause I like her I mean Im gay I cant stand girls period.' 'yea i see that bro said Evan chuckling. 'For now shes well my cover up and i want it to stay that way.' Evan stopped and asked. 'How long is it going to stay that way?'. Troy stopped he sighed and turned around to face his friend he then said. 'I dont man I really.......don't kno.' Troy looked depressed and lost Evan could tell this was taking a toll on him ,hiding who was all these years, pretending to be straight just so he could fit in. Evan put his hand on Troys shoulders and said. We'll figure something out man. Troy looked at Evan and smiled Troy then said 'Is this the part where I kiss you?' he said with a big smile. Evan laughed at him and said we're out in the open Troy do you really want people to see me and you kiss? 'nah not now at least' he winked at Evan.
'AH shut up' he said to Troy sarcastically. 'oh Ev um I was gonna ask you if you wanna come to a party at my house saturday night. My parents are gone for the weekend so they wont be back till monday you wanna come?' Evan thought about it and said 'im not that great around people Troy but I guess I'll go just for you.' 'Hell yea man thanks' He gave Evan a hug and head toward his home. Evan hasnt been to Troys house yet since they became friends this should be interesting.
As the boys parted ways a figure was spying on them in the distance. It was Natasha Elwood, Troy's girlfriend the look in her eyes were both confusion and jelousy she didnt like Evan not one bit. She was extremely prejiduce and down right jealous the typical bitch who is good at hiding her true personality. She walked away and dialed a number on her cell phone. She said to the person on the other end 'hey you going to Troys party Saturday? you are ? why do I ask? I need you to do something for me when you get there it has something to do with that new kid. yea THAT new kid. Oh I got it all planned out............
