Boom! I paid the deposit and set the date for maternity photos. August 13.. I'll be 31.5 weeks. I am looking forward to getting pics with DH that also feature our house and all the hard work we've put in these past two years. Then we'll walk around town to our favorite spots and get them in the pictures, too! We love walking/biking/exploring the city so we thought photos here would be a nice keepsake. Then, if we connect with this photographer, I'll hire her again in the future to take pics with the baby. Her business is new, and she didn't have any maternity shots yet, but she did have couple's portraits and newborn/babies/kids pics, which were pretty decent! She gave me a great rate and while I would have liked to see maternity pics, like some of the other front-runners, the price was a lot more competitive, leaving more left over for photos with the baby later.

Now I'm working on a board on Pinterest to put together my favorite pics. I am thinking about whether I'd like props
The block letters are so cliche, but they're so cute! Same with balloons! Anyone have any non-cliche props in mind?

Around city hall, Thanksgiving kicked off a day early—with Chinese food.
On Wednesday, November 21, after the city council's second round of voting against the idea of renaming Interstate Avenue for César E. Chávez, the committee behind the rename headed to Fong Chong Restaurant on NW 4th for a celebration of sorts. Though Interstate hadn't been renamed, neither had 4th Avenue (AKA the council's 11th hour compromise from a week earlier, and one the Chávez committee—and Chinatown's businesses along 4th— staunchly opposed).
Outside of council chambers, moments after the council opted to vote down the "well-meaning, but not a good" plan to rename 4th (thanks largely to prodding from Interstate-rename advocate and Multnomah County Commissioner Maria Rojo de Steffey), Richard Louie of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association invited the Chávez committee out to dim sum for lunch. The two groups had worked together to thwart the council's plan, and succeeded.
So what's next?
Commissioner Dan Saltzman tabled an ordinance that would have reshaped the city's rename process—making it easier for the council to initiate renames—and told the committee exactly what someone in city hall should have told them earlier this year. "If you want to work with the existing process with either one of those streets... I'm open to that," Saltzman said. But Commissioner Sam Adams pledged to craft yet another new process, and post it on his blog for public comment. (Let me be the first: We don't need a new rename process. There's a perfectly good one in the city code.)
Oh, and de Steffey's considering a city council run, thanks—in part—to the Interstate debacle. "I have been talking to a lot of people saying you need to run," she says. "We need more women, we need more people of color. I think the city needs a balance on the council that it doesn't have." She plans to announce one way or another in January for the open seat Adams is vacating.
Returning to city hall—and to the less sexy business of running a city—after the holiday weekend, the council's chiefs of staff met up on Monday afternoon, November 26, to try and reach consensus on the fall budget surplus. Going into the meeting, they still had to cut over a million bucks from the wish list. "We got very close, but we didn't reach the exact total," says Austin Raglione, Potter's chief of staff. "We still have about $700,000 left to find." The mayor's putting together the final ordinance, with items that he believes has a majority of the council's support.

General manager Garth Snow took a risk in hopes of improving the Islanders before the start of free agency, but it did not work out.
Less than 24 hours after acquiring the rights to Christian Ehrhoff, talks between the Islanders and the 28-year-old defenseman broke down and Snow shipped those rights to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday for a fourth-round pick, just what he gave the Vancouver Canucks for the shot at Ehrhoff to begin with.
Snow had imposed a 5 p.m. deadline Wednesday to sign Ehrhoff. He would not divulge his final offer to him, but it was thought to be well north -- in dollar amount and length of contract -- of the five-year, $23-million pact Vancouver reportedly gave defenseman Kevin Bieksa.
"We made a significant offer," Snow said. "I don't want to get into specific numbers, but I felt like we made a good offer and a good run to get Christian to sign."
Snow first began discussions with Ehrhoff's agent, Rick Curran, Tuesday night but did not speak to Ehrhoff until Wednesday morning (Ehrhoff is back home in his native Germany). After several exchanges throughout the day, Snow set the 5 p.m. deadline. When it became clear that he would not be accepting the Islanders' offer, Snow emailed other teams around the league to gauge interest in the impending unrestricted free agent.
Though Ehrhoff spurned multiyear offers from two teams in the past week, Snow found Buffalo a team that was willing to take a risk in the way he had.
"Was it a gamble to try and make our team better for the short and long term? Yes, but it's a gamble I'd make again given the circumstances," Snow said.
Snow and the Islanders have a well-documented history of difficulty attracting top-shelf free agents in recent years. Last July, Snow offered more money to defensemen Paul Martin and Dan Hamhuis but both signed elsewhere.
That, and the thin free- agent class this July, prompted Snow to take a risk on Ehrhoff.
"It's a soft class compared to years past," Snow said. "That's why I felt it was imperative to make a move and get his exclusive negotiating rights."
Snow said he plans on regrouping before tomorrow afternoon, when the free agency signing period begins, and seek other options to bolster the team's defense, including a trade.
"We took a step in the last 24 hours to get a quality player signed," Snow said. "It didn't work in this instance, but we'll keep trying to get top talent here."

I don't think we tell our stories enough. When people share their lives, there are always corners left untouched. Some because they aren't important, but some because we're too afraid. Some of the most important parts of ourselves can remain hidden.
I have a friend who believes in God, loves God, and is influenced by their faith in every aspect of their life, but is afraid to talk about it for fear of being associated with Bible-thumpers and extremists. On the other hand, they've been alienated from people at their church for suggesting that loving others ought to be our highest priority with people. (Hearing this story made me understand their fear of extremists.) This part of their life remains as hidden as possible, because they just can't handle the potential rejection of their remaining friends and family.
It's an extreme example, and yet not so different from the rest of us. I'll never forget the TED Talk by Ash Beckham about how we all have closets we hide in. Telling someone you love them, telling your parents you're pregnant, telling someone you have cancer. "All a closet is, is a hard conversation," she says. "Although our topics may vary tremendously, the experience of being in and coming out of the closet is universal."
It pounded home the thing that I'd heard Brene Brown say more than a few times: that to have true, meaningful interaction, we need to be real with each other. We need to be vulnerable.
Vulnerable, of course, is a much more terrifying word than honesty, but they come down to the same thing. Being real. Letting the things that are important to us come out of the dark little closets that we've stuffed them in.
Vulnerable is a scary word because it means that people can hurt you. And it's true: honesty gives people power over you. Honesty is giving people a piece of yourself; they can do anything with that. They can stab you where it hurts. They can walk away.
Being honest might involve a few of those more vulnerable moments. It will involve times where you wish you'd kept everything bottled up inside.
But it will also involve freedom. Being vulnerable doesn't just give power to other people. In fact, that's only a tiny part of what being vulnerable is. For the most part, honesty empowers you with your own truth. It empowers you to be you, wholly, anywhere, and never have to hide.
Sure, you may have to explain. When I bring up the sexual abuse thing, I sometimes have to reassure people that I'm fine talking about this and it's not something that should make them go all quiet and serious. You'll have to--get to--explain. But you won't have to hide. That freedom feels even better than it sounds.
It has been my experience that often when there are people who are publicly denigrating a group I am a part of, they tend to become much kinder and quieter about things when they know I fall under that label.
I have had more than a few close friends who didn't like Christians, but not one of them has denigrated my faith. They have been free to express their hurt and reasons for their dislike of Christendom, and I to explain how my beliefs differ from their expectations. I received the compliment, "You're not like other Christians," which in that context made me feel immensely special.
Most people in most places want to be respectful. They want to be understood and accepted, and they know other people want the same. They're willing to afford you understanding and respect if you're willing to reciprocate.
Sharing our truths doesn't have to be scary. It doesn't have to split friendships and divide people. More often, it allows you to love and be loved more truthfully.
This year I don't want to shy away from telling my truths. It can feel safer in all those dark, close closets, but I think that's because I've gotten used to the claustrophobia and the mouldy damp of living in fear. The healthiest place is out in the open, where I can grow strong and find belonging with all the people who love me for me and all the parts of my story.
Hello, 2015. Let's measure you in stories of truth.
See yesterday's post A Healthy 2015: Endings, Beginnings, and Middles about telling our stories while we're in them and appreciating the journey while still along the way.

The Atlantic Sun is coming off a banner season, as it earned a No. 17 RPI ranking out of the 32 Division I conferences in 2010-11. Belmont's big year helped, but the Bruins' reign will end soon.
It's not that the Bruins will stumble because of a lack of talent but rather the fact Belmont will move to the Ohio Valley Conference for the 2012-13 season.
No one in the A-Sun will be sorry to see the Bruins depart, especially after last season, when Belmont put up a 19-1 conference record and won the Atlantic Sun Tournament championship game by 41 points.
Belmont is favored to repeat this season, and East Tennessee State and Jacksonville are expected to be in their usual spots near the top of the standings. And watch out for a rising North Florida program.
The Bruins' pending move will be the second departure in two years, as Campbell will be starting its inaugural Big South season in 2011-12. With Florida Gulf Coast and South Carolina Upstate eligible for postseason play for the first time, that means 10 teams now are in contention for the A-Sun Tournament's eight spots.
The statistic that stands out when reviewing Belmont's 2010-11 season—aside from the team's 30-5 record—is how widely the playing time was distributed. Eleven players averaged 10-plus minutes, and the highest average was just 24.6 minutes a game. The bad news for the other A-Sun teams is that nine of those 11 are back this season.
Leading the charge is 6-9 senior Mick Hedgepeth, the team's top rebounder (5.9 per game) and second-leading scorer (10.8) last year. Also back to give the Bruins a big advantage under the basket is 6-10, 250-pound senior center Scott Saunders, who ranked second on the team in rebounds (5.2) and third in scoring (9.9) in 2010-11.
With Hedgepeth and Saunders causing problems down low, that frees up junior Ian Clark, who can make shots from anywhere and was Belmont's leading scorer (12.2) last season.

Mum stands by stepfather who abused daughters in grotesque Facebook post defending him
Two sisters sexually abused by their stepfather have blasted claims by their mother on Facebook that they lied to get back at her.
Brave abuse survivors Emma (27) and Vanessa (24) Witherow were subjected to a decade of sexual abuse at the hands of their stepfather John Joe Patterson (54) – who, last October, was sentenced for 39 counts of sexually assaulting Emma between 1996 and 2006.
The serial abuser also pleaded guilty to one count of sexually assaulting Vanessa at Nenagh Circuit Court in June.
The women's mother Frances Pattterson has now accused the pair of 'lying' in court to get back at their stepfather in a bizarre Facebook post defending her husband.
"I can't get my head around it, why they have told so many lies about me and John Joe," she wrote on her Facebook page last Thursday.
"[He] wouldn't hurt a fly or hurt anyone. No wrong doing was ever found in our house."
Ms Pattterson said her daughters had been 'turned against their stepfather' by her former partner – the women's birth father.
However, speaking to the Irish Daily Star, Emma said this was never the case.
"It seems all too easy for our mother to try and blame our deceased father for our dislike for Patterson."
The convicted sex offender first started abusing Emma when she was six years old, and began to abuse Vanessa when she turned nine.
The abuse only ended when the elder sister left home when she was 18 and took her younger sister with her.
Speaking to the Star, Emma said she and her sister were "extremely hurt" and distressed by their mother's comments.
"I have kids myself and as a parent I would do anything to protect them. She is just not a proper mother," she said, adding that the pair had not spoken to their mother for the past seven years.
Standing by Patterson despite his convictions for abusing her daughters, Ms Patterson wrote in her grotesque Facebook post that her partner had only plead guilty to abusing Vanessa to "stop the case".
"We went to court and fought the case as best we could against Emma which we lost and then the state were bringing a separate case with Vanessa which John Joe or myself was not able to cope with, John Joe's mental state and my sickness.
"John Joe gave one guilty plea only on Vanessa to stop the case."

2 cups split peas
10 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 sprigs parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 sprigs dill (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 large onion, chopped finely
2 carrots, chopped finely
2 ribs celery, chopped finely
1. Peas may be presoaked for faster cooking. Combine peas, water, and seasonings in a large pot.
2. Add vegetables. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook over low heat until peas are tender (about 3 hours if unsoaked).
You can also add 1/2 cup uncooked barley about 1/2 hour before completion (but add an extra cup water). The soup is thick to start with, and gets thicker with standing. It can be frozen. Enjoy!'

Qantas plane returns to Perth after birdstrike
A birdstrike has forced a Qantas passenger plane to return to Perth airport shortly after take-off.
A Qantas spokeswoman says the Melbourne-bound aircraft hit the bird just after 12:30 today and returned to the domestic airport.
All passengers have been transferred onto other flights.
Eye witness Fons Berkhout says he saw bursts of flames coming from one of the plane's engines as it flew over his office in Kewdale.
He says an unusual sound coming from the aircraft first caught his attention.
"I thought this could be a military helicopter or something like that, it was a very deep rumbling noise, and so I went out and had a look and I could see flames coming out of the back of the left engine," he said.

Ok, I know I am out of season (well maybe not since I live in AK) but I just finished a wall hanging quilt top of a Christmas tree. How do I quilt it? Do I try to draw lines around the Christmas tree to quilt and echo it?I think that is a term. I don't exactly know what stitch in the ditch is so while that seems relevant how would I do that. Please help. Should I upload picture of the quilt top for help? Also, the on the Christmas tree itself is DMC floss for the garland and sewn on to that cute little buttons for ornaments. I was going to look up stitch in the ditch in the "Quilting Terms" area but had trouble navigating it.
Thank you. Christy G.
oh, and cristy, cute wall hanging gini

You are exactly in season. I never have time for Christmas crafts before Christmas, only after. I am making placemats to give for next Christmas (if they last that long) Stich in the ditch is hard but it can be done. You have to focus and go a little slower until you get the hang of it. I started with straight seams before I did anything curved to get the feel for it. Snowflakes quilted into the white would look different in a meander pattern.
Christie, it's so cute! It's going to be adorable with the floss and buttons. Are you wanting to join the free motion group? Up at the top of your screen there's a tab named Groups. Click on that. Then scroll down the list to the FMQers group. Then look on the right hand side. You will see and option to join the group. Click on that and that's all it takes.
Another good option for new quilters is to do a grid. That might look good in the background, too. Look on your batting package and it will tell you how much quilting is recommended, say for example, not more than 3" apart. Once you achieve that, the rest is decorative and totally up to you. Just make sure you keep the quilt sort of "evenly saturated". I mean don't have areas with tons of quilting and others with not much because it may not be flat if you do.
Linny T
Your quilt is lovely. Meandering is a good beginner stitch and I would use it also in the tree but use a fancy thread, metalic or something that is shiny. You will love the FMQ group!
Toledo, OH
Hi Christy,
I have only been quilting a couple of years, and I don't do much stitching in the ditch. I have a hard time staying on the seam, then I get stressed about it, then I remind myself that I'm doing this for fun and relaxation, then I promise myself I won't stitch in the ditch again....ugh! :) Personally, I like to meander - make it look like open puzzle pieces. I plan to join the FMQ group and learn to venture out.
Your wallhanging is adorable!
MNnancy - I'm pretty sure there is some rule of nature that says "where there is a camera, there will be a cat". :)

hi beth d welcome gini
hi beth d, welcome gini
I would do a meandering stitch around the tree in the white area for sure.
Beth D:I'm pretty sure there is some rule of nature that says "where there is a camera, there will be a cat". :)
Beth, I'm sure the rule further states that "where there is a quilt, there will be a cat," so bring out a quilt and a camera and you can pretty well admit defeat! LOL
On the banks of the Mississippi River in north central Minnesota (Brainerd lakes area)
I start my Christmas gifts for the next year on December 26th. I always try to give a homemade gift to each person who comes to the Party and that can get to be alot of people.
I started my first quilt with stitch in the ditch. I have a special foot for my Phaff sewing machine that has a guide so it lays in the seam nicely and makes it easier.
My idea would be to outline the tree about 1/4 inch from the seam line on both sides of the seam. It will give a little lift and will show all your hard work a little better. Stipple in the back ground areas. That will also make the Tree stand out. Hope this helps.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by recliner10, Nov 3, 2000.
i use a snapon gasket scraper,works great
I like using my Superbar.
On my 36" I just wash it off at the end of the day and just keep it spray painted with the cheap "no-rust" paint. I really don't have a deck scrape thing at all and I always mow in the rain in Seattle.Alot of clotting is from "dull blades"- grind 'em hard! Also, why not just put a 5 gallon bucket under the front of your mower to change blades?
Could you please elaborate on your statement? Did you meant the SFS deck? I'm looking at the Toro ZTR w/62"SFS deck due to constant wet cutting conditions here north of Seattle. I demo'ed the deck but it hasn't been as wet as normal here this year. Is there another deck in your experience worth looking at? I need a 62" for productivity. Thanks for sharing your experience.
SFS is just just a new catch word. Back in the old days they called them wind tunnel design or something.
The 62" in deck on a new Toro ZTR is the same exact deck that is on one of my 10 year old walkbehinds.
I use mine mostly for athletic fields where I cut bluegrass down to 2" with single blades on a weekly basis with on visible clipplings left on the turf in one pass in high gear (5.2 mph).
I don't cut in wet conditions (belt drives) but I have no problem with the deck clogging or having to scrap when the grass is wet from dew or a overnite rain. And let me tell you we had more rain in NE PA this spring and summer as did NW Wash. state.
A new hydro traction unit to be used with my present 62" deck is on the shopping list for next spring. I have two 20 acre industrial sites I am measuring up this month for next spring. And I hope to pickup some new sports field work. But I will hold off on that purchase until March 15.
Having the discharge chute clog due to mowing wet turf is unaccepatable and I would consider this to be a manufactures defect.
I don't understand, I'm in southern Indiana where bluegrass is king plus fescue a foot high. I run three dixie's and don't clean decks in the field. Under the decks are the magic mulchers (box with chains, keeps decks clean) and double blades. We will sometimes clean when changeing blades but only then. Also use a chain hoist to lift mowers
I don't have to clean the deck on my Toro SFS Deck. My Exmark and Bunton Walkbehinds all need scraping in the early spring as well as a Bunton Rider. I did try a product called Mow-eze. It is a petroleum based liquid that you spray onto the deck. They say it is good for 40 acres. I have had some success with it. Has any one else tried it?

Gen 1:27 "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; make and female created he them."
Skinner viewed moral nature as neutral and passive, which is not biblical. The Processes children use as they construct their world are: Schemas, assimilation, accomodation, organization and equilibrium. Four Stages of Cognitive Development: 1) Sensimotor Stage (birth-2 years): Coordinating sensory experiences (hearing) with motor actions (touching).
2) Preoperational Stage (2-7 years):
a. Symbolic Function Substage( 2-4 years): Beginning of symbolic thinking.
b. Intuitive Thought Substage (4-7 years): Begin to use primitive reasoning and want to know answers to questions.
3) Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): Gain logical reasoning, classification skills present, understanding of reversibility (Liquid in glass example).
4) Formal Operational Stage (11-15 years): Think in abstract, idealistic, and logical ways. Schemas: actions or mental representations that organize knowledge (Behavioral and Mental)
Assimulation: incorporation of new information into existing schemas.
Accomodation: Adjustment of schemas to fit new information and experiences.
Organization: Organizing of experiences to make sense of the world (Grouping).
Equilibrium: Children's shifting from one stage to the next. Computers should be accessible for each student to observe the different operations and understand how they work.
A smart board would be a great way to display the concepts and show graphic organizers on psychology. Cooperative Learning- Students put into small groups of varying levels in order to maximize learning.
Direct Instruction-Students model the teacher and follow along with the teacher's instruction. By doing so, the teacher can introduce a new idea or concept, model how it is to be done, and students can follow eventually completing the new idea or concept independently. Biblical Critique: Learning is achieved by how the teacher presents the material and helps guide students in learning. Every child is limited to a Zone of Proximal development that defines the highest level at which they are capable of learning-Learning is independent not dependent on God. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction."- Proverbs 1:7 Social and cognitive factors, as well as behavior, play important roles in learning.
Behavior, environment and person/cognitive factors are reciprocal in learning.
Self-Efficacy and reflection is important. Believing oneself can accomplish something is crucial to accomplishing it or learning it.
Observational learning is learning that involves acquiring skills strategies, and beliefs by observing others. Four processes need to be considered for observational learning; attention, retention, production and motivation. Modeling is an effective tool.
When students observe the teacher performing a new skill while describing it, they are prone to learn the skill more quickly. Students should be provided access to models of the knowledge, skills, and behaviors they are expected to learn. Teachers can organize the classroom to encourage positive parts of socialization. Live demonstrations of a behavior or skill by a teacher or classmate exemplify the common notion of modeling. Verbal or written descriptions, video or audio recordings, and other less direct forms are also forms of modeling. After modeling, some will be able to perform the skill quickly on their own, others may need more practice. This is where the social learning component is helpful. Working in groups, the students who have mastered the skill will model it for the ones who have not, enabling social learning. Set the classroom up as a learning community, include cooperative activities regularly and reinforce model behaviors by students I would have an assessment that tested some key features of Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. This assessment would be an alternative assessment. Modeling is key to Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, so I would have the students model information and try to teach it to a peer. This assessment also tests their retention, production and motivation, other key tenets of Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. I would then have the student evaluate and reflect on how they performed. This is an example of utilizing self-efficacy. Finally, I would have the student reflect on the modeling of information taught to them, another example of self-efficacy which incorporates modeling techniques PowerPoint presentations.
Live demonstration.
Audio recordings.
Whiteboard. Models are key to Bandura's Social Cognitive theory. By following models, we can learn in the classroom. The Bible provides Christ as a role model to follow. By following the model of Christ, we can learn how to live a virtuous life. In this aspect, the Bible is supportive of Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. Information Processing emphasizes that children manipulate information, monitor it, and use strategies for processing information. Memory and thinking are central to this theory. Children develop a gradually increasing capacity for processing information, which allows them to acquire increasingly complex knowledge and skills.
As children grow and mature, and as they experience the world their information processing abilities increase, influenced by concurrent increases in both capacity and speed processing. Both biology and experience contribute to growth in cognitive resources. The process of memorizing is a sequence; Sensory memory- just an instant. Short-term memory- up to thirty seconds. Long-term memory- up to a lifetime. The encoding of information can be taught through rehearsal, the conscious repetition of information over time to increase the length of time it stays in memory. Deep processing, tying a semantic event to some information. Elaboration, such as having students provide personal examples of information. Having students construct images, a form of elaboration. Organization information, such as "chunking" large amount of information into smaller more manageable information.
So, some strategies teachers can use is to have students remember and retrieve material is by having students understand it rather than memorizing it. Repeating information with variation and linking information so the number of mental associations increase. Teaching mnemonic strategies. Classroom Organization: Memory, especially in sensory and short-term is limited. As such, it is necessary for students to selectively focus their attention on important information and have them engage in automatic processing when possible. Teachers should organize their class so that they- Bring to mind relevant prior learning, (Review previous day's lesson. Have a discussion about previously covered content) Point out important information. (Provide handouts. Write on the board or use transparencies.) Present information in an organized manner. ( Show a logical sequence to concepts and skills. Go from simple to complex when presenting new material.) Provide opportunities for students to elaborate on new information. (Connect new information to something already known. Look for similarities and differences among concepts.) To determine how much and how thoroughly a student has processed information, I would have a test that would utilize varying techniques for memorization used in Information Processing. I would have a portion of a test that require them to simply recall information as learned through rehearsal. This could be a matching section and a fill in the blank section. Because organization was a key part in memorization, I would have a word bank and have students organize different words into categories. At this point, I would hope the students would have used the first parts of the assessments to recall and retrieve information. I would then have the students write a short essay where they could show they simply did not memorize, they understand and comprehend information, the highest level of the information processing spectrum. Lessons that utilize multimedia and words helps students retain more information than just word-based lessons. Including multimedia helps the brain connect new material to existing material in long-term memory. By adding onto material in long-term memory, students have to store less in their working memories, which allows them to process more information before becoming overloaded. Multimedia technology includes; Powerpoints. Audio files. Graphics Overhead projectors. Transparencies. Smartboards. Videos. Internet websites. Anything that will allow the student to connect the information to existing material and thus assist in moving it into the long-term memory. The Bible speaks of God's dealings with human beings. It does not go into detail about how the human body works. Information Processing theory asserts that people are capable of processing more information as they grow older and interact with the world and that both biology and experience contribute to growth in cognitive resources. The Bible shows that people can grow and learn more as they increasingly interact with Gods world and listen to absorb his words. Santrock, John W. Educational Psychology.

Gingham has been everywhere I look. It is one of the Spring Trends we are being encouraged to wear. See article here and here. Not for me. I wore gingham everyday for 12 years and the day I graduated from high school my gingham days were over.
But if you didn't wear gingham everyday growing up then I've got some Spring looks you need to check out.
Plus a few items you may want to try.

New promotional material for Grey's Anatomy suggests that season 11 will be just as dramatic and full of tough decisions as the last.
Cristina is gone and Meredith is left to decide whether or not to follow Derek to Washington D.C. so that he can advance his career. From the looks of season 10's finale, Meredith has no plans to change anything.
Plus, fans were dealt a bombshell at the end of season 10 when it was revealed that Meredith's now deceased mother, Ellis Grey, and Richard had a child together – a child who now has a job as a doctor at the hospital.
From the looks of these new photos from episode 1, it would seem as if Meredith and her sister, Maggie, will come in contact. But, will either of them realize who the other really is?
The official synopsis for Grey's season 11 premiere episode says:
With Cristina gone, a new doctor, Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary), making the rounds and Derek wanting to move to Washington DC, Meredith struggles to regain a sense of normalcy both at home and in the hospital. Meanwhile, Callie and Arizona come to a decision about surrogacy, Amelia overhears a big secret, Bailey realizes she will have to fight Alex for Cristina's board seat and a freak accident causes two teenagers to be caught in a very compromising position.
And just in case you weren't prepared enough already, here's one final promo teaser to get you ready for what's sure to be one heck of an episode:
Grey's Anatomy season 11, episode 1 "I Must Have Lost It On The Wind" premieres tonight at 8PM EST on ABC as part of "Shondaland Thursdays."

Dawn Makin, 35, who is now confined to a wheelchair by the injuries she inflicted on herself in the suicide attempt, was in a 'spiral of descent into despair' leading up to the killing, a court heard.
The nurse of 15 years had lost her job after being unmasked as a 'mole' for feeding confidential data about patients to her boyfriend who worked for a personal injuries company.
The little girl was found dead in Makin's bed wearing pyjamas and surrounded by cuddly toys, with her mother unconscious beside her.
Chloe suffered deep wounds to her neck and chest and tests showed she would have been alive for a number of hours after the attack.
Injuries on her hands show the little girl tried to protect herself, Preston Crown Court heard.
Judge Anthony Russell yesterday said Makin had been suffering from a depressive disorder at the time of the killing. She wept as he jailed her for manslaughter, telling her: 'The facts of this case are appalling.
'The victim was a four-year-old child, someone who trusted you.
'This was a sustained attack. Chloe must have undergone significant and considerable physical and emotional suffering.
'Finally, the physical injuries you have caused to yourself which are permanent and the knowledge you have killed your only child will be with you for the rest of your life.'
Makin had been investigated and sacked for illegally accessing a computer at Moorgate Primary Care walk-in centre in Bury, Greater Manchester.
Boyfriend Martin Campbell, 34, used the details of 29 road accident victims who had been treated at the centre to make contact and try to encourage them to make personal injuries claims in December 2009, the court heard.
The leaks emerged after patients started to complain to NHS Bury in May 2010.
Campbell was fined after admitting data protection offences in June last year.
Makin was sacked in August 2010 but did not tell family and friends.
Prosecutor Stephen Wright said: 'She did seek further employment but every application floundered. She was getting nowhere.'
That month she tried to take her own and Chloe's life using gas, but stopped before any serious harm was caused.
She and Mr Campbell then separated, to her 'great distress', and he left their Bury home.
On the day of the killing, Makin learned she was being summonsed to court to face data protection offences. She tried to rekindle her relationship with Campbell that day but he told her he was taking another woman out for dinner.
'She was in an emotional spiral of descent into despair,' said Mr Wright. She sent text messages to Campbell saying: 'I'll make sure you pay for this for the rest of your life' and 'I feel really low. My life is over.'
A neighbour discovered the youngster's body three days later after her 'frantic' grandmother, Sheila Makin, raised the alarm. Suicide notes were found including: 'I am so sorry. I have taken her away from you all but I could not leave her with no money. That would be cruel.'
Makin was charged with murder ten months later. She suffered brain injuries from the anti-freeze which caused her loss of mobility.
After the verdict, Chloe's father, Michael, who had split from Makin three years before the tragedy, said: 'This has been an absolute nightmare. I just want Chloe to rest now.'

The U.S. state of Georgia executed convicted murderer Troy Davis on Wednesday in a case that drew international attention because of claims by his advocates that he may have been innocent.
Davis was put to death by lethal injection at 11:08 p.m. EDT/0308 GMT on Thursday at a prison in central Georgia for the murder of a police officer in 1989, prisons spokeswoman Kristen Stancil said. The execution was delayed by more than four hours as the U.S. Supreme Court considered whether to issue a stay.
The case provoked protests and an online petition accumulated nearly a million signatures because of doubts expressed in some quarters over whether he killed police officer Mark MacPhail in 1989.

Judges 11:1-3New International Version (NIV)
11 Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was Gilead; his mother was a prostitute. 2 Gilead's wife also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they drove Jephthah away. "You are not going to get any inheritance in our family," they said, "because you are the son of another woman." 3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where a gang of scoundrels gathered around him and followed him.

Great quality awls
By H.
from Lubbock, TX
I bought both the light and heavy duty awls and both have worked marvelously. I was initially using push pins as a temporary replacement before my purchase. These are easier on the hand and create perfect sized hole for both signatures and boards. As I've been binding for a year now, I wish I had found this site sooner! These materials have not only helped make the appropriate sized hole but my binding has become much more efficient. Thank you!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
great journal binder tool
By Sue, art journaler
from Minneapolis, MN
For a "heavy duty" awl, this worked great to bind the journals we made. And no one stabbed themselves, either! :) I don't have experience with any other awls, but this one sure did the trick.

Excellent awls, very sturdy.
Great Awl
By Erica
from Chicago, IL
A nice sharp tip and a thin handle easy to hold and use in tight spaces. By far my favorite over other awls, even the ergonomic type, which I find too bulky. Only problem is the metal has started to become slightly bent from the handle, but that was after several years of heavy use. Affordable enough to replace after getting several years of life out of it.
Great little tool

use it for book arts,but can easily see the value in other areas.

The skin is the largest organ of your body and it is a strong indicator of a healthy person. When your skin suffers the whole body suffers, so make sure you always have a glowing skin. You can use the example of Pakistani women who spent much of their care for their skin. First, clean the skin twice a day to remove all the dead cells and the factors that caused the damage. You can use organic, chemical-free products, such as milk proteins Korres Foaming Cleanser. Apply moisturizing cream and moisturizing spray mist from the outside. Get a massage on a regular basis using lotions and creams on your skin and make sure you moisturize throughout the day. Avoid eating raw, hard and turn to fresh, local food.

Amino launches new H150 IPTV device for hospitality and digital signage market at CABSAT 2015
Amino launches new H150 IPTV device for hospitality and digital signage market at CABSAT 2015
(CABSAT 2015, Dubai, 9 March 2015) Amino, leader in IPTV, is to launch a new high-powered IPTV device for the hospitality and digital signage market at CABSAT 2015 in Dubai this week.
Called the H150, the new device combines the quality and reliability customers have come to expect from Amino with a host of new and innovative features - including new YouTube TV capability and the Amino TV apps store featuring 350 "made for TV" entertainment, news and sport apps.
The H150 is a real powerhouse with a dual core Broadcom SoC - delivering more than 2000 DMIPS -and up to 1GB of memory to deliver a graphically rich user experience with faster transitions and improved 2D and 3D graphic effects.
Delivering full HD quality video with support for 1080i60 decode for full screen playback and picture-in-picture (PiP), the H150 can also handle content from multiple sources whether managed IP, in-resort content or from the open Internet.
New Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability is also available for the first time in an Amino hospitality device, allowing customers to install the H150 where a mains power supply is unavailable. Key hospitality features also include CEC control and an RS-232 serial interface. The rugged mountable case is fully VESA compliant - and compatible with a wide range of hospitality and digital signage TV screens.
Amino CEO Donald McGarva said: "This new device underlines our commitment to innovation in the important hospitality and digital signage markets. As in the wider pay-TV industry, the demand for more performance, more content and a richer user experience is growing rapidly in both these sectors. The H150 is designed to meet these key trends but also offer future proof capabilities around multiscreen OTT deployments."
The H150 will be showcased at CABSAT alongside the full range of Amino's award-winning portfolio including the Live Advanced Media Platform and recently launched A150 mainstream IPTV device. Visitors to the Amino booth - #412 in hall 4 - can see the enhanced range running a number of partner demonstrations.
The device is fully aligned with Amino's extensive ecosystem partners and the latest digital rights management developments and conditional access compliance. Samples are now available with volume availability in June this year.

COTONOU, Benin, 9 November 2010—When floodwaters inundated Vossa, a suburb of Cotonou, Lucie Zanou had to leave her house in the middle of the night carrying her two children. The floods destroyed most of her belongings and all of the crops she grew to support her family.
|VIDEO: 23 October 2010 - UNICEF's Edward Bally reports on support for mothers and children affected by recent heavy rains and flooding in Benin. Watch in RealPlayer
Ms. Zanou found shelter under a truck and managed to save a basin, where she washes her children. "It's our only solution, but is not safe for us to live. I have to bathe my children on the side of the road, we urgently need food and clothes," she said.
Almost 200,000 children affected
About 680,000 people have been affected by recent heavy rainfall and floods in Benin. Among those affected are almost 200,000 children who still cannot live a normal life.
In fact, the rain and floods that hit five West African countries have displaced a total of almost 1.5 million people. The priority for UNICEF and its partners is to avoid disease outbreaks in flood-ravaged areas.
|© UNICEF video
|Hundreds of thousands of people have been left homeless by flooding in Benin. UNICEF and its partners are distributing shelter materials, blankets, safe water and purification tablets, as well as mosquito nets and food.
"Once the water retreats, it infiltrates the soil and contaminate the wells," said UNICEF Water and Sanitation Expert Francois Bellet, who came from Senegal to assess the situation. "We are very concerned that cholera cases could skyrocket. Children would be especially at risk. We fear an increasing child mortality rate in the coming weeks."
Getting back to normal
In Kpakankamey, also located in the suburbs of Cotonou, Julienne Baoungbola and her five children are starting to suffer due to the stagnant water in their contaminated well.
|© UNICEF video
|Lucie Zanou had to leave her house in the middle of the night carrying her two children when torrential waters flooded Cotonou, Benin. The only shelter the family could find was under a truck.
"We all feel more and more sick," she said. "My daughter has headaches and fever. I think it's because we use a bad water and because we spend our days in the water. My dream now is a pair of boots for my children."
So far, Ms. Baoungbola has no choice but to stay at home with her children, as the neighbouring school is still closed because of the floods. More than 100,000 Beninese children are waiting to return to school.
UNICEF will distribute thousands of school kits to help children get back to a normal education when their classes resume. But for the children of Ms. Zanou and Ms. Baoungbola, and all the flood-affected children of Benin, getting back to a normal life may take time.
