I buy this for my teacher, I taking a class for The Tabernacle. I learn a lot of each lesson. Very interesting.
Posted by Pastor Michael Jennings, Colorado Springs on 21st Jan 2014
Well worth the investment! Fun to put together and will teach your disciples how man has to approach God through a blood sacrifice. Also the tabernacle can be used to show how Jesus Christ is that ultimate and last sacrifice that opens the way back to fellowship with God and eternal life.
If you're a preacher or teacher, you need this tabernacle in your spiritual tool box!

I received the tabernacle but was unable to assembly right then, due to an illness. Five days ago I began. When I got to Step #5, the instructions reads to insert the brass rod as you install the posts. The problem is: there wasn't a brass rod included in my Tabernacle package.

I used this aid as a teaching tool for my teenagers. They really liked it; the adults liked it also.
A few of drawbacks:
1.) A little time-consuming to put it together (about 2 hours putting in the brass hooks)
2.) The staves, on the furniture, can easily break off
3.) The badger's skin, in my kit, looked more like giraffe's skin. The teenagers really caught that.
Other than that, really cool to used as a visual aid to learn more about God's Word!

The pieces will help my students participate and understand the different roles the of the priest. I will take it to class before I put it together so they can see the challenge the tribes had tearing it down and setting it up again. I think the children will understand the tabernacle and see Jesus in it more clearly now. Thanks for this great aid.

I am doing a series of classes for kids on the evolving of the Tabernacle Tent of Moses to Solomon's Temple and how these 2 Old Testament types point to Jesus Christ. This model was a great visual aid for the kids, especially when I lifted the tent and they could look inside and see all that it contained, and how it was placed. I wish there was a better way that allowed you to lift off and put back the tent cover, other than that, a great product!

I found the set to be smaller than I expected. it was still very useful. I used it to compare the tabernacle with the traits of Jesus. I have recommended it to friends. It requires a lot more painting that I expected as well.
Posted by Jim on 13th Nov 2012
I have spent several hours painting the pieces I am about 1/2 way finished. The parts are small so using a lighted magnifier helps a lot.
Very fine detailed work. It gives me a real appreciation for the real thing and the work that went into it!
I think it will be worth the work when finished.

A lot has happened since I last blogged. Here's a run down of the quick stuff:
- Next week is my last week of school
- Brooklyn will be in the kindergarten prep class next year and go to school 4 days a week! YIKES!
- Layla just turned 2 last month and talks non-stop.
- Waylon has a new job but we don't know how long it will last because it's a temp job.
- I stopped doing the early mornings at work because it was just getting to be too much.
- We just painted our living room.
- It's been exactly 1 year since we bought our house and moved in.
- I tried freezer cooking and I LOVE it! It's going to be my new method of cooking and meal planning.
- I found out I was pregnant with baby number 3 on March 2nd. Then, I found out on April 17th that my baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks (I was almost 10 weeks along when I found this out). It was heart breaking and devastating. I am working on a post specifically on that whole story.
- I'm back to doing my c25k running. I love it and I remember feeling the same exhilaration last year when I did it that I'm feeling now. Can't wait till I'm running the long runs!
- Brooklyn learned how to write her name in school - it's so cute!
- We had to get a new van because our old one was on the verge of losing it's transmission and catalytic converter. It was going to cost around $4000 to fix and we didn't even pay that much for it. The mechanic said trade it in ASAP before the transmission died so we could get something on it. I'm now driving the mini van of my dreams - leather seats, automatic doors and a DVD player for the girls are among many of the wonderful little bells and whistles I got with it! The down side: we have a car payment again. BOO!
- We paid of ALL of my credit cards! That was $15k that I brought into our marriage that we paid off in February. HUGE relief!
- I'm going up to see my sister the week after I get out of school. It will be my first time to see my one and only nephew, Logan. My sister and her husband kindly offered to pay for me and one of my kids to come up. I was thrilled!
- We finally have a dining room table to eat at!
- I lost my wedding ring. This one still makes me sick. I was at Garden Ridge and took Brooklyn to the bathroom. I took it off to wash my hands (a habit I do without even thinking). Before I knew it, Brooklyn was making a mess with the soap so I was cleaning that up and trying to get her out quickly and ran out without my ring. I went back less than an hour later and it was gone. I've gone back twice now to see if anyone turned it in and no one has. I'm absolutely devastated over this. I thought I had lost it the week I miscarried but I found it about 2 weeks ago and was SO relieved...only to lose it again! GARR!
- Waylon and I have been working at getting back on track with budgeting and paying off debt and saving. I want to write a post about that as well since we are trying some "new" things while still sticking to the Financial Peace University principles. I think they will fit our personal lifestyle better and are just small changes we are making to keep it going.
- I have some big summer plans to decorate and update my house in a budget-friendly way. I'll probably do a post on that as well.
Phew! I think that's all the "big" stuff from the past few months. I really do want to start writing again so my goal for now is 2 posts a week. If I don't write what's going on in our lives on here, I feel like I won't remember later on down the road. I haven't kept track of things anywhere else so I really want to continue chronicling our lives. I unfortunately don't have a recent picture to upload since I've been taking all my photos from my phone. I'm sure there's a way to transfer those to the computer, I just haven't tried it yet. Maybe next time!
Happy Memorial Day!

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 104 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mj49 Excellent Quality Cushions I have owned my Balencia Chaises for 8 years and this year, needed to replace the cushions. I was so pleased with the new fabric. It's quick drying and the color is rich and vibrant! I love the added cording; it really gives it a high quality flair. We just hosted our first outdoor gathering and had so many compliments on both the look and comfort of the cushions. After pricing cushions at a local upholstery shop, I would definitely recommend Frontgate! May 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jujujuju Color is perfect and they are very comfortable Love the color and so comfortable. April 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caryn Balencia lourge chairs are a beautiful pair. We love the sleek look of the Balencia lounge chairs. They have a great design, are well-mage and the arms make them so comfortable to lie on. February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LeighC Worth every penny! I looked locally [and I live in the wine country and close to SanFrancisco] and scoured the internet. Nothing I saw in person was at the quality level or price of the pieces from Frontgate. I am very happy with my purchase. They are incredibly well made, comfortable and look fantastic on our deck. We lounge on these chaises at the end of each day and first thing in the morning on the weekends. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Daisy260 Love Them! We love the new Balencia Chaise Lounges. The arms took a little work to get on but they look great. We're really enjoying the lounges - they are comfortable and beautiful. Our new puppy has decided they are the best seats in the whole backyard. September 9, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sjack Perfect side table This is a very nice looking table. Very nice quality. Looks great on our patio in between the two Balencia Chaise Lounges we also purchased. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Livelife Comfortable and beautiful We've had now for 3 weeks and they are beautiful and very comfortable. Dress up the area around the pool...we have gotten many compliments. July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trici Velour Cushion for the lounge chair The velour cushions were so soft and comfortable! They were like a warm towel when I got out of the chilly pool. The attached pillow is adjustable and adds even more comfort. The white helps reflect the sun so they are not hot to sit on. Really great value for the price. It transforms the chair into a spa-like experience! July 9, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by judybear We love the chairs. After reading the reviews, we were ready to expect that the arms might be a bit difficult to put on, but it wasn't too bad. They are beautiful on my deck. Just wish I had the cushions. July 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoanneA Outdoor lounge chairs They are beautiful and the quality is great!! Outstanding June 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gardener19 Nice, versatile table We bought this table to go with the two matching balencia chaise lounges. We love all of the pieces. The color and materials are very nice. Also, we were looking for pieces that fold and store efficiently off season so these pieces will be a big improvement from our last patio furniture. The table is a nice size that will make it very handy to move around where an outdoor table is needed. May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sher888 Comfortable Comfortable, just the right amount of padding, got the aruba color it's beautiful and looks rich around the pool May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by formerphap Perfect table between two chaises I bought this umbrella table to place between my two new Winston chaise lounge chairs. The color was a perfect match for the Winston bronze finish. It creates just the right distance between the chairs and is a substantial weight so no fear of toppling over during a summer afternoon Fla rainstorm. May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by paws4love Love these cushions! Super comfy and attractive with the piping. This is my third set of these and I'm glad I splurged and got the piping makes a big difference! Love the Aruba blue color against the chocolate chaises. I leave them in my pool in the tanning ledge all year I just cover the cushions during the fall and then bring them back out for the winter. May 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gerkie Perfection! We love these chaises. They are light weight enough so that that can be moved easily and the slight curve in the leg area is ergonomically beneficial for legs and back. May 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marilee Cover for Chaises We purchased the Balencia chaises and these covers. We are glad we did because they fit so well and are of excellent quality. Other covers would not look right. We got the aruba color and they look great on the bronze chaise next to the pool. I like the velcro fasteners that hold them in place. May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by annawtb Perfect I have searched high and wide for the perfect patio chairs for our pool area. We live in the Southeast with lots of rain and humidity, and we have three boys! I wanted something that would last and be comfy. Since we haven't used them a whole season yet, I can't testify to durability, but so far they seem very durable and well made. They are very comfortable and I just ordered the velour wraps for them. A huge plus is the width! Very wide, and the arms are perfect and comfy height when reclining. Love the multiple position also. On a side note, we recently visited a beach resort and they had these exact chairs by Frontgate around their beachside pool. If they hold up enough for commercial use in salty, humid air; I look forward to them lasting at our pool. April 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FLFamily Great Look & Great Service These chairs are very sturdy and the only 'work' needed was putting on the arms. That was definitely a job for someone with strong hands as the positioning and turning of the tool was slightly awkward but not impossible. The color is very sleek with the shimmer of bronze. These items went on sale within 2 weeks of placing my order and contacted customer service and they immediately credited me the difference. Its nice to get high quality products and receive high quality service. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MariettesBackToBasics HEAVENLY SOFT Balencia Velour Chaise Cover This is such a perfect Chaise Cover with great attention to detail for perfect fit and with pocket on the side. HEAVENLY SOFT Terry Cotton! gplus.to/MariettesBacktoBasics December 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jami Nice I purchased this same time we ordered the lounge chairs. Perfect set, looks nice, well made. Glad we made the purchase. Fits very well between our 2 lounge chairs. November 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyinLimerick Wonderful addition to our pool We ordered 6 of these to put pool side. I love that they have arms. Very comfortable. I haven't gotten a full season out of them, so I can't speak to durability. I do love that they stack flat, so in the winter we'll keep them in the shed. October 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DesertCowboy Extend Life of and add comfort to Balencia Chaises We purchased two Balencia chaises three years ago, but did not purchase the cushions. After two years the chaises began to unravel and disintegrate in our harsh Arizona climate. Frontgate gave us a credit which we used to purchase these cushions. After adding "lawn chair restrapping" to the unraveled areas of the Balencia chaises, these cushions hid the strapping and provided not only comfort but protection from the sun for the chaises. The Balencia chaises are beautiful--if you purchase them get the cushions and that will both extend the life of the chaises and provide comfort.. From experience, the Sunbrella fabric holds up well in the blazing desert sun. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaryannD Just Georgeous!!! These chairs are so beautiful and comfortable. I am extremely happy with this purchase. They look awesome on the deck!! July 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pucker typical of high quality Frontgate items This product was a gift and the recipient is very pleased with it. It truly dresses up the chaises and makes them extremely comfortable. July 18, 2013

Set of Two Balencia Chaise Lounges with Arms
1 answerWhat are the exact measurements for the Balencia Chaise Lounges? Online they are diff w and w/o arms?
Maryland, USA
Additional information about LJacy could not be loaded.
I would like to order 2 of each, the Balencia Chaises with and without arms, however the cushions offered by Frontgate do not go with my color scheme. I need a deep red color and the Sangria swatch I ordered is burnt orange. None of the "Stock" or "Custom" colors are close to red, so I'd like to order cushions from a custom cushion place. But I believe they are tapered and I need to know what the measurements are on the top half, the bottom half, and at their most wide and most narrow at the end. I can't order the chairs unless I can find cushions so I need the measurements before I can commit to ordering the chairs...

These cushions are 77"L x 28.5"W x 1.5" Thick. The sections below and above the bend in the cushion measure 48"L x 27"W x 1.5" and 29"L x 28.5"W x 1.5".

Answer:Well, you can see it's not "flat", it is reclinable to the outer line shape and thus, it works to lie on your back or stomach comfortably. And it's a wide lounger even if you choose not to use the armrests, you can lay your arms next to you without filling squished in. Heck, I could probably have a small kid next to me. LOL

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — State officials and other react to the death of former Washington state Gov. Booth Gardner.
"Booth Gardner was one of the great leaders of our state. He served us all with the highest standards and with never-ending humanity." — Gov. Jay Inslee
"He demonstrated that governing is about the people you serve — and serve with — by learning everyone's name, what issues they cared deeply about, and by taking the time to work with anyone that shared his desire to make Washington state a better place to live. Booth also showed that compromise and compassion were not competing ideals by being pragmatic when he needed to be, but by always working to protect the needs of the most vulnerable." — U.S. Sen. Patty Murray.
"As Governor he worked tirelessly for the State of Washington, but he also showed that public service doesn't have to be in the Capitol. Despite his considerable health limitations, he led the fight for end-of-life care with courage and vigor. In the end, he ensured the ability to both live a dignified life with access to health care and end life in a dignified way of one's own choosing." — U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott.
"He was a politician with a personal touch. He also knew how to make everyone in a crowded room feel special." — U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell.
"Governor Gardner was an amazing man and a great leader with a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He truly cared about their future and the future of our state." — Washington state House Speaker Frank Chopp.
"Booth Gardner will be remembered for many things. He will be remembered for his impish sense of humor and never-failing common touch. He will be remembered as the original turnaround expert for a then-troubled Pierce County government. He will be remembered as a governor who guided an historic amount of progress while never tooting his own horn." — U.S. Rep. Denny Heck.
"Governor Gardner was a progressive visionary ahead of his time. His leadership helped give us environmental and land-use laws that shaped the successful Washington of today. And he championed gay rights and basic health care access for the poor long before they were popular. also leaves a lasting legacy of nurturing a generation of leaders, including me." — Former Wash. Gov. Chris Gregoire.
"Booth Garner was one of the most confident, compassionate people I have ever known. Even though he came from great wealth, he had a deep ability to connect with people and they sensed that he truly cared about them." — Ron Dotzauer, Gardner's campaign manager in his first run for governor.
"Governor Gardner was known as a man who could talk to anyone, because he treated everyone the same way-like a fellow human being. Booth was that rare political leader who was liked by both his allies and his adversaries." — King County Executive Dow Constantine.
"Booth Gardner was a compassionate and thoughtful man. His strong values of fairness and equality led him in his decades-long work to improve our health care and education systems. Washington State is a better place because of his leadership." Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn
"It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to one of Pierce County's favorite sons. We have only had five elected executives in Pierce County, and Booth will always occupy an important place in our history. He faced an extraordinary task in setting up the new governance during tumultuous times in our community." — Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy.

Republican congressional candidate and former state senator Sam Aanestad thinks President Obama was a Muslim, once.
On May 17, a reporter for Chico-based KZFR-FM asked Aanestad about a comment he made at a Tea Party Patriots meeting on April 26. That's when Aanestad said this:
"I was asked, do I think he's a Muslim, and the answer is yes, that is his backround. That is his beginning. Is he a Christian today? There's no way that you or I can tell that. But his backround, his upbringing, his tradition, his holiday observances all come from a Muslim background. Does he practice Islam, the religion of the Muslims? I don't think so. I take him at face value for being a Christian."
President Obama is a Christian.
According to the Associated Press, the president has written that by the time he was born, his father had become an atheist. His father divorced his mother when he was 2, and he rarely saw his father when he was growing up.

You know you're handing out blank sheets of paper?" the man said to me after I handed him a blank sheet of paper. I knew, of course.
"You know you're handing out blank sheets of paper?" the man said to me after I handed him a blank sheet of paper. I knew, of course. My plan was to give blank sheets of paper to people on Seattle sidewalks, to see what would happen. Innocent bystanders are often given religious, political or promotional material. What reaction would I get if I handed out nothing? I don't put bumper stickers on my car, and I don't own T-shirts with messages on them. I don't believe in shoving my beliefs down someone's throat, which itself is a belief I'm shoving down your throat.

Saying nothing is nothing new. Politicians, long-married couples and criminal defendants often have nothing to say.
On a sunny Wednesday afternoon I handed out sheets of white printer paper, cut in half, at three Seattle locations. Approaching my first stop on the University of Washington campus, I was nervous. Will I look like a fool? Will I be able to find a restroom? I stood on the sidewalk between the HUB and the Allen Library, 50 feet from several booths of students handing out printed papers.
I was immediately pleased by the reactions: "Cool," "Sweet," and "That's awesome." Of course, a few were baffled at the blankness, saying, "Wha . . ." as they continued walking. One woman half turned to look at me with her shoulders scrunched and her palms facing up. Another walked on, saying, "Okaaaaaaay . . ." If anyone asked what I was doing, I told them, "I don't have anything to say," or I'd tell them this was an experiment to see what would happen. When I told one guy I had nothing to say, he said, "So join the Libertarian Party. I'm serious."
Among some students, there seemed to be a sense of relief. I didn't want anything from them. Upon getting a blank sheet, one man said, "It's about time." Another guy pumped his fist in the air and said, "Yes!"
Several people said they'd use it for scratch paper. One guy wrote "Have a nice day" on the sheet, then gave it back to me. When I gave the "experiment" explanation to three men who stopped to face me, their jaws dropped in unison, and after three seconds they simultaneously closed their mouths and smiled.
I gave a sheet to a woman wearing a long, lightweight coat with feather-boa edging. She asked, so I told her about my "experiment." She stopped in mid-breath and gave me a long, silent, almost intimate gaze. Such was the intensity that for a fleeting, foolish moment I thought she was going to lean in and give me a kiss. Wishful thinking or the power of art?
Often I silently handed someone a sheet, and as they kept walking they would look at both sides, then look back and smile at me. No words exchanged. Look back and smile. All day long, this was my favorite reaction.
At my second stop, on Pine Street just east of Westlake Center, enough people avoided me that I felt like I had a skin disease. This was a noticeably different crowd than the mostly young (and less jaded?) people at the UW. It didn't help that four days earlier there was a fatal shooting down the block. I'd probably avoid me, too. Only about 5 percent of the people took a sheet, compared to about 15 percent at the UW.
One guy declined a sheet, saying tightly, "Visitor." But there were reassurances. One young woman in a trio took a sheet. The three kept walking, watching the middle woman as she turned the sheet over. Simultaneously, they all looked back and smiled.
It was a busy block. A (homeless?) guy set up 10 feet from me and pulled out a cardboard sign. I moved down the block, then moved again to avoid being associated with another man digging through a trash can. Farther east was a guy handing out political information, and then at the end of the block there was a guitarist. But I had the monopoly on blank paper.
I handed a man a sheet, gave him my "experiment" explanation, and he said, "So, you're trying to test a few things and see what happens. That's good. That's the way it works." A man in his mid-20s went on a small, non-threatening tirade: "People are stupid. Look at them. Walking around with blank looks on their faces . . ." He said my idea was, "clever . . . interesting . . . get people to use their brains." In defense of my fellow humans, I said something innocuous like, "Well, people are busy, and I sometimes avoid people who hand out things, too."
I offered a sheet to a guy who told me, "I said 'No' to you once, dude." Whoa.
A street performer named Emery asked what I was doing. He held the paper and said, "You know what I see in this? Opportunity." He gave me one of his CDs (no charge) and said, "Sometimes I can't give these away."
At my last stop, near the pig at the Pike Place Market, about 10 percent of people took a sheet. The mood was lighter, and there were obvious tourists. I offered a sheet to a woman who politely refused, touched my shoulder and asked, "Where do they throw the fish?"
As the day wore on, I became less enamored of saying, "I have nothing to say." It seemed like a joke at people's expense, and mostly I told the bare truth about this being an experiment.
A man declined a sheet, saying, "I got lots of those." Another asked, "Do you supply pens, too?" A few people took a sheet with their eyes pointing straight ahead, without looking at me or the sheet.
Altogether, I handed out about 400 sheets. I enjoyed the direct contact with people. Many of those who took a sheet looked at me openly, without offense or defense. There wasn't a cash register or a dogma separating us. I've had this idea for several years, wondering about the results. This experience didn't change the way I see people, but I was glad to move from theory to experience.

Klum seals her love this summerSeal and Heidi Klum are marrying this summer.
The Grammy-nominated singer, who proposed to the stunning supermodel at Christmas, says the couple will tie the knot before their baby is born in September.
He revealed: "We are definitely going to get married before the baby is born."
Last month, Seal, who popped the question to Heidi while staying in an igloo, announced the couple were expecting their first child together.
The star - who is stepfather to Heidi's ten-month-old daughter, Leni, by Formula One boss Flavio Briatore - said: "Heidi, myself and especially Leni are proud to tell you that we recently found out that we are expecting our second child. There is nothing that gives us greater happiness than the realisation of our dream. Thanks to all of you that have been sending us happy thoughts."
Last December, Heidi confessed she was desperate to have a baby with Seal, 41, real name Sealhenry Samuel.
The 31-year-old, who has been dating the star since she split from Flavio, while she was still pregnant, told friends she was keen to start a family as soon as possible after being overwhelmed by Seal's fatherly abilities.

Hi there!
Maybe because I speak 18 languages (only English is spoken by any other person on the planet), and maybe because it's come up in a lot of conversations recently, I ended up doing a 16 page rant on conlangs on another forum.
No one there was even vaguely interested in anything about conlangs (it's more of a vocab/etymology/we-love-words type of site, but anyway...) I'm still worked up, and curious, and I figured that I'd share my own thoughts/methods here, and beg everyone to share their own thoughts as well.
And don't worry, it won't be 16 pages... or a rant
Anyway... If you look at any "alphabet" ... or whatever basis for written language exists, you will find that there are very few actually *different* shapes/symbols used.
The current "English" or "Roman" alphabet, original the latin alphabet, was and is, in both forms, straight lines, half circles, and circles. They are PRIMARILY straight lines. Those straight lines can be combined in any number of ways. Here's a sample of less than 1/3 of the symbols you can make with *no more than 3 straight lines* (the letters E, M, and W all have 4 lines, btw).
There are 42 symbols - that's more than the number of letters in our current alphabet (though some languages have many more) (26) AND 9 digits, with 7 more to indicate 10s, hundreds, thousands....
Remember, this is just a small sample of the symbols you can make with 1, 2, or 3 straight lines. Yet NINE of our letters are approximated in just that sample. More than 1/4. by curving those sample lines only slightly, you cn make 11 of the letters in an arabic alphabet, and 12 *words* in chinese.
A lot of conlangs are simple reworkings of a current language. Many people will sneer at these languages, because they prefer a language with grammar of its' own.
Many conlangs are based off an existing alphabet (with new grammar rules) without knowing why those alphabets are the way they are. Some people turn their noses up at these, because there are a few gems of conlang that have their own alphabet.
That's fine if the alphabet makes sense in the setting.
If your people came (originally, no matter how far back) from Earth, then yes, their languages/alphabets can be familiar. And you can say those languages developed however you wish.
On another world, however, languages will develop differently.
Our written languages start with straight lines because we, as a world, in many different cultures, all started writing before we had anything to write *on*.
Try writing DANGER! in Elvish. Now carve it in the wall of a cave with a sharp rock. No? How about on a piece of wood with a stone knife? Can't do it? Can you write it with a stick in the dirt?
Okay, okay, elves are more advanced than we are, and their language had developed past ours before we hoomans ever existed. Got it.
At least there's a reason for it.
Where was my point? Oh yeah.
I've always figured that the best way to create a language is to begin at the beginning. When did my people first start communicating with words other people could understand? When/how/why did they start writing that way? Did they begin with berry-stain painted pictures that were later simplified? Did they ALWAYS use letters? Do they still use pictures?
Then I consider (based on when they started communicating) what was most important to them at that time. It's almost always food, water, shelter, and danger. Those are your real root words.
Later I add words for family, for "mine" and "yours". For good, bad, up, down, far, near.... Usually, I let the rest of the language flow from there. Other words develop more naturally this way. Words for my family can grow from words for home - which is basically *my* shelter. That food is dangerous, but this one is just bad. Tastes bad. How do I tell my neighbor not to eat it?
My final inspiration, when struggling to create (or begin) a new language, is to go to a neighbor's house, lay on the floor, and talk to a baby.
What sounds do human beings make most naturally?
Or preschoolers- what sounds are hardest for them to learn?
Why else are there, in 100 different languages only a few ways of saying "Mom" which don't sound similar?
That's one word I always develop from baby sounds.
So I'm curious. How do other (less obsessive/perfectionist/semi-psychotic) people develop their conlangs. What kits do you use, what guides do you follow, or how do you create your own?
(Eh, maybe it was a bit rant-ish, after all... sorry )

Alzheimer's Could Be Diet-Induced Diabetescarolyncastiglia
Pinpointing the cause or causes of Alzheimer's disease has been confounding medical researchers for over one hundred years. But now, says Mark Bittman of The New York Times, a convincing argument can be made that Alzheimer's is in effect Type 3 Diabetes. Bittman says this idea has been around since 2005, but has been given new credence thanks to the New Scientist cover story, "Food for Thought: What You Eat May Be Killing Your Brain."
The idea is so simple, and that's why it makes so much sense: we are what we eat. When we eat junk, our bodies become junk. This is the kind of common sense wisdom that is ignored and drowned out by fast-food marketing and our American lifestyle of convenience and excess. I myself could easily pretend to be one of those smug New Yorkers who hasn't succumbed to the fatty trappings of fast food, but I know that I'm not in the clear just because I've stopped eating at McDonald's. I try to eat vegetables and stay away from truly horrible foods, but my diet could use tons of improvement, something I think about more and more as I get older and realize that what I put in my body really not only affects my health but in fact creates whatever condition I'm in. And it goes without saying that I feel a strong imperative to teach my daughter how to instinctively take good care of herself. This issue is especially pressing to me because I was raised in a family of comfort eaters, and my own mother – who has Type 2 Diabetes – once told me, "If I knew then what I know now, I'd still cook the same stuff, just with more broccoli."
Bittman explains how the Diabetes/Alzhemier's theory works like this:
…when the cells in your brain become insulin-resistant, you start to lose memory and become disoriented. You even might lose aspects of your personality.
In short, it appears, you develop Alzheimer's.
A neuropathologist named Alois Alzheimer noticed, over a century ago, that an odd form of protein was taking the place of normal brain cells. How those beta amyloid plaques (as they're called) get there has been a mystery. What's becoming clear, however, is that a lack of insulin — or insulin resistance — not only impairs cognition but seems to be implicated in the formation of those plaques.
Later, he says:
Let's connect the dots: We know that the American diet is a fast track not only to obesity but to Type 2 diabetes and other preventable, non-communicable diseases, which now account formore deaths worldwide than all other causes combined.
We also already know that people with diabetes are at least twice as likely to get Alzheimer's, and that obesity alone increases the risk of impaired brain function.
What's new is the thought that while diabetes doesn't "cause" Alzheimer's, they have the same root: an over consumption of those "foods" that mess with insulin's many roles.
So the foods you want to avoid are sugary ones and those with nitrates, Bittman says. (Your standard carnival fare: hot dogs and cotton candy. In other words, stuff kids love.) If you want to be scared into changing your diet, Bittman says, "More than 115 million new cases of Alzheimer's are projected around the world in the next 40 years." OMG. None of us will know who we are! Bittman argues, "Adopting a sane diet, a diet contrary to the standard American diet (which I like to refer to as SAD), would appear to give you a far better shot at avoiding diabetes in all of its forms, along with its dreaded complications." Maybe that soda ban wasn't such a bad idea after all?
I'm trying to make the kinds of changes Bittman advocates, one meal at a time. I never learned how to cook growing up, so eating at home is a challenge for me, let alone making something more complicated than a sandwich. But last night I made pasta (which isn't that great for you but is delicious, and I used tomato sauce with lots of pesto – green stuff!) and BRUSSELS SPROUTS. And my daughter loved it. If we keep adding more green stuff to our diet, I should be able to remember her childhood as clear as my Crystal Stick deodorant by the time I'm an old woman.

Comments about Giardinelli Premium Lightweight Trumpet Case:
This is a nice looking case that would protect a trumpet well for a light weight case; unfortunately mine had issues with the zipper. The zipper had to be forced around the front corners because the fit was too tight. Not only did it take 2 minutes or so to open the case, but I was afraid the zipper would be ruined within a week. Fearing that it was a design flaw, when I returned it, I ordered the Gator hardshell case. Music 123 does really match any price you find that's lower, and was very nice to deal with on the return.

Get out and VOTE today!
I ran into a ton of traffic near our polling place today. I've never seen so many people voting in our neighborhood. Usually you see a couple of other people voting and there's never a line. Today there was a long line at 7:30 and a line of cars waiting to get into the parking lot. I'm so glad I voted absentee this time.
Take a look at Google Hot Trends. Almost everything in the top 100 listings is election related. I"m going to keep an eye out throughout the day and document the trends. I'll post a video with the results for you. Here's the link to Google Hot Trends it you want to follow it live

I haven't been cooking recently. I've been lazy and eating out a lot. Yesterday was no exception.
I started with oatmeal from the coffee shop. It was fairly healthy and only a small serving.
Lunch was a tuna sandwich on rye and fries. I should have skipped the fries.
I met a friend for dinner and had almost half of a 14" pizza. I also had stuffed mushrooms and three glasses of beer.
I went to my girlfriend's house and had ice cream and cake.

Tulane University public health night class, circa 1942
Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is celebrating its 100th anniversary Nov. 9-11 as alumni, faculty, former faculty, students and professionals gather for discussions and seminars on the global impact of disasters, emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, the global burden of chronic diseases and changing healthcare systems. For a schedule of centennial events visit: http://tulane.edu/publichealth/centennial/index.cfm
Founded in 1912 with a donation of $25,000 from New Orleans businessman Samuel Zemurray as the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the first such educational institution in the nation, the school answered the need for tropical medicine and hygiene studies in New Orleans, a city that had long suffered from devastating epidemics of malaria, cholera and yellow fever. The school was a pioneer in the movement to create similar teaching and research institutions around the world including the London School of Tropical Medicine, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Institute of Tropical Medicine (Brussels).
In 1919 the school was folded into the Tulane School of Medicine as a department of tropical medicine. As the fields of public health and tropical medicine expanded, a graduate division of public health was created within the School of Medicine in 1958, and in 1967 the Division of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine officially became the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. Grace A. Goldsmith was named dean, the first female dean of a school of public health.
"Tulane was uniquely situated in 1912 to launch the first combined school of hygiene and tropical medicine," says current Dean Pierre Buekens. "Today, the school operates on a very similar strategic plan as the school did in 1912: we are globally focused, we combine lab science with classroom experience, and we value a practical, hands-on approach to public health."

During a recession there are a lot of numbers thrown around, but what do those economic statistics really mean? The recession has made average citizens more aware of the data that's supposed to explain or predict the financial health of the country, so it's important to know where the numbers come from and how to evaluate them. Below are some of the most quoted statistics and how they are calculated. (For more info on what to do during a recession, read 4 Ways To Weather An Economic Storm.)
Unemployment Rate
- Importance: The unemployment rate measures the financial health of the local, state, and national economy. As the recession has shown, high unemployment leads to losses in tax revenue, higher foreclosure rates, and overall loss of purchasing power for communities.
- Source: The Department of Labor calculates and reports the unemployment rate monthly through the Bureau of Labor & Statistics. Get monthly updates directly from the Economic Releases section of the BLS website.
- Calculation: The unemployment rate is based on a monthly survey of 110,000 households representing the entire United States. Results are weighted based on age, sex, race, geographic location, etc. The employment categories are:
- Employed – earning a salary or wages, unpaid workers (volunteers, interns)
- Unemployed – jobless, age 16 or older , available to work & looking for work
- Not in Workforce – under age 16, confined to an institution (hospital, prison, etc.), active in the military, retired, attending school, anyone else who hasn't looked for work in the last 4 weeks.
- Relevance:Use the data to make decisions about changing jobs, starting or expanding a business, moving to a new state, etc. Pay attention to the date of the report, because new figures are reported monthly. Compare current statistics with past figures to determine trends. Be aware of possible seasonal changes in unemployment. Understand the average unemployment figures for your community to determine if there is an abnormal movement. Combine this statistic with other information before reaching a conclusion. Just because the unemployment rate is high, does not mean you won't be able to find a new job. (For further reading, check out What You Need To Know About The Employment Report.)
Unemployment Insurance Claims
- Importance: Businesses pay unemployment insurance, as a percentage of employee wages, to the state. Employees who become unemployed by no fault of their own - they are laid off - must file a claim to receive income from the Department of Labor for up to 26 weeks in most states. The number of new claims indicates whether or not companies are laying off workers. When companies feel confident that demand for their products or services are high, they retain or hire workers.
- Source: The Department of Labor collects weekly unemployment insurance claim information from offices in each state.
- Calculation: States report the number of persons filing for unemployment insurance benefits. Initial claims are those requesting payments for the first time. The Department of Labor tracks industries, geographic locations, ethnicities, ages, etc. of workers applying for compensation.
- Relevance: The trend for new unemployment claims is often more relevant than just one month's worth of numbers. As the recession carries on, the number of unemployment insurance claims coming to an end is important. Unemployed people who were able to pay monthly bills with the help of unemployment benefits, may suddenly not be able to afford those bills anymore, impacting the overall economy. (Learn more in our tutorial on Economic Indicators.)
U.S. National Debt
- Importance: The government borrows money from the U.S. public and from foreign organizations. The total is considered the national debt. This number is often confused with the national budget deficit, which is the difference between the revenue the government brings in and the amount of budget items for a given year. When there is a budget deficit, the government must borrow additional funds to make up the difference. Borrowed funds are not free, interest is paid on the amount due and the principal must eventually be paid back. (For more, read What Fuels The National Debt?)
- Source: The U.S. Treasury Department tracks the total amount of funds borrowed. The total amount of current and past debt can be viewed at the treasury direct website: www.treasurydirect.gov. A monthly report from of budget line items is available at www.fms.treas.gov.
- Calculation: Congress sets the maximum amount of money the U.S. government can borrow. The current amount set in February, 2009 is $12.104 trillion. The Bureau of Public Debt accounts for and reports the amount borrowed and paid back. The Financial Management Service keeps track of budget line items and deficits.
- Relevance: Just like personal debt, national debt payments limit the purchasing power of the government, and citizens foot the bill. View local, state and national budget reports along with revenue sources to hold elected officials accountable to the amount of debt incurred.
Economic data is important to understand, and it's available to the general public. An excellent source is www.economicindicators.gov. Get the facts and interpret them for yourself.

Ultrasound is just like normal sound except that it is of a higher pitch than the human ear can detect. These high frequency sound waves are passed through the area of the body that is being examined and reflect back at different rates from different densities. Fluid for example has a different reflection rate than muscle tissue. The reflecting sound waves are picked up by the ultrasound machine and entered into a computer which uses the information to construct images.
Ultrasound is an extremely safe and non invasive method of imaging as it does not emit any radiation. As a result it is the method used to assess the development of unborn babies as imaging techniques that involve radiation may harm the foetus.
Ultrasounds are used to detect the structure of internal organs, muscles and tendons and unborn babies. Doppler ultrasounds measure the flow of blood through blood vessels and are usually used to detect narrowing of arteries, blood clots and the direction of blood flow.
Where can I get an Ultrasound?
Ultrasound examinations are available at all of our X-Ray & Imaging practices; Caloundra, Noosa, Kawana, Sippy Downs, Cooroy, Golden Beach, Coolum, Maleny & Beerwah. These exams are bulk billed ($0) to all patients with a valid referral and a current Medicare, DVA or Workcover card.

Sophomore utility player Audrey Serna, sophomore catcher Allison Lacey, and freshman second baseman Justine Zavala were the Pasadena City College selections on the 2014 All-South Coast Conference Second Team. No Lancers were picked to the First Team.
Serna was the team's leading hitter in both 2013 and '14 and earned her second straight pick to the All-SCC team. Serna (Arroyo High) batted .486 with five doubles in conference games.
Lacey (Crescenta Valley High) batted just .254 in conference with 11 RBI, but her outstanding defense at the catcher position and her overall team-leading 31 RBI and .375 average impressed SCC coaches. Zavala (Los Altos High) emerged as the team's regular second baseman and went on to bat .365 in SCC games with 10 RBI.
The three players were guided by first-year PCC head coach Monica Tantlinger.

Happy Friday, everyone! Another glorious weekend is upon us!
Generally, I'd say I'm a pretty productive person. I don't really like sleeping in; I hate feeling like I'm wasting the day. I make a to-do list in my planner each day & make it a point to check off as many – if not all – of the items that are listed. I don't have too much "down-time"; my days of kicking back with a magazine are long gone because I am always trying to utilize every second of the day.
Life has certainly become busier in the last few months. Between teaching, managing a new home with Chris (& by home, I mean 1-bedroom apartment), & working on this blog, I don't really have the option to not be productive.
Yesterday, however, was one of those days where I just felt "blah." While today was a little better, I wouldn't say that the feeling had totally surpassed. All I could think about at work all day was coming home & taking a nap, which I did for a short while!
Pug nap-time; doesn't he look cozy?
Although I didn't have the energy/desire/motivation to post last night, I did get to thinking about how I set the tone for my days – whether they are productive or not.
I feel like the pace for my day is set within my first hour or two at work. I have my prep period first thing in the morning & what I make of it totally dictates how the rest of my day goes. For instance, if I immediately get into work & start checking things off of my to-do list, I will usually stick with this pace & keep barreling through my day. However, yesterday, a meeting snuck-up on me & ate-up the good majority of my prep period. I felt rushed to get "everything else" done before I had to start teaching, & because I felt like I had already sort of "failed" for the day, I had zero motivation to get much else done.
Admittedly, there's not really much of a "point" to this post, just sharing what's on my mind. I must have a productive weekend – those research papers aren't going to grade themselves (although, that would be pretty awesome)! 😉
How do you manage all of your daily work/life tasks? What do you do when you're feeling unmotivated (in any aspect of life)?

In GOP Campaign, Private Equity Firms Draw Flak
The public relations problem for private equity capitalists at firms such as Bain, KKR and Blackstone is that they are the agents of the creative-destruction part of capitalism. They aim to take over underperforming firms and operate them more efficiently. In that process, people do lose their jobs.

Managing Leased Equipment
Receiving Leased Equipment
As mentioned in the lease commencement process, all leased equipment must be recorded in the asset management system (Archibus) as soon as possible after it is received.
A failure to complete a record of the leased equipment will result in delayed payment to the supplier and to the risk that the equipment will be out of warranty prior to the end of the lease period.
Tracking and Transferring Leased Equipment
At end of lease all leased equipment is returned to the lessor, currently Alleasing Finance Pty Ltd.
It is essential that all leased equipment be recorded and tracked using the University's leased asset management system (Archibus) so that it can be easily located at the end of the lease period. Thus it is important that the system be updated if the equipment is moved, transferred or responsibility for it changes in any way.
Lease Cancellation
Under the University's agreement with Alltech Finance, leases cannot be cancelled once they have commenced. Therefore departments which no longer have a need for the equipment being leased can transfer it to a new department/responsibility centre using the asset management system (Archibus).
Leased Equipment No Longer Required
Surplus leased equipment can be advertised as available for redeployment. The receiving department merely takes over remaining lease rentals from the beginning of the next calendar quarter.
Maintenance of Equipment
At the end of the lease period, equipment must be returned in working condition, as described under the End of Lease section. Accordingly any faults or damage should be attended to as soon as possible, especially if covered by the equipment warranty.
Equipment Upgrades
The arrangement with Alleasing Finance does allow for leased equipment to be upgraded. However if considering an upgrade you must decide whether:-
You intend to remove the upgrade and restore the equipment to its original condition before you return the equipment to Alleasing Finance at the end of the lease period; or
|Leave the upgrade and return it to Alleasing Finance with the equipment at the end of the lease period.
If you intend to remove the upgrade when you return the equipment at the end of the lease period then you must ensure that the leased equipment is not damaged in any way. Similarly, if an upgrade is to be returned with the equipment at the end of the lease period, the upgrade must not decrease the value of the leased equipment.

Quality, Affordable In-Home Care In Your Community
Hi, I am Jennifer Palmer, independent owner and operator of your local Griswold Home Care office. I live in Denver, CO with my husband, Mick, and 12-year-old twin girls, Elaine and Kate.
In the midst of a successful career as an attorney, I became the primary caregiver for my mother during the last months of her life before she passed away from complications of cancer. I also help to manage my father's care, who is struggling with Alzheimer's and has a live-in caregiver to assist with his needs when he cannot be in Denver with us.
The combination of these events led me to swap my litigation career and get involved with an elder care company with a proven track record. Today, my mission is to help people like myself—adult children with elderly parents—by referring caregivers to provide the best care in the industry at the best price.
Throughout my entire professional career, I have always enjoyed networking and being involved in my community. I truly enjoy mentoring my staff and getting out every day to meet people who I can help.
I received my B.A. in English and Political Science at Syracuse University and went on to obtain my Juris Doctorate at Albany Law School. Most recently, I was a partner at a mid-size Denver law firm. My practice focused on health care, senior care facilities and insurance.
When I'm not working, I enjoy outdoor activities such as ice skating, cross-country skiing, and hiking; cooking; crafts; road trips and reading. I volunteer at my church's religious education program and lead my daughters' girl scout troop. I love playing an active role in my daughters' lives and taking part in activities that better my local community.
The caregivers we refer help create loving environments for their clients. Examples include this birthday celebration where a caregiver made and brought in a cake and this live-in caregiver who brought over a tree and decorations for Sandy, a client who lives in a beautiful basement apartment her son recently renovated for them.

Clean Technology Industrial activity, like most human activity, often impacts the environment directly and indirectly in terms of contributing to pollution of air, water, and land. In the past 50 years, this has spawned increasing regulation and environmental compliance; environmental compliance is now a predictable cost of doing business. However, emerging climate change regulations will undoubtedly and inevitably pose new costs—costs not yet budgeted.
Converting to or investing in new Clean Technology solutions is one option to help mitigate these costs and indeed gain a competitive advantage. Recent North American stimulus packages contain funds to accelerate the uptake of Clean Technologies. Clean Technologies are those that help reduce environmental pollution and the adverse effects on climate.
There has never been a timelier investment and regulatory climate for prudent organizations to take a "deep dive" in investigating, qualifying, and implementing Clean Technologies.
Renewable Energy Renewable Energy investments in 2008 outstripped those in conventional energy sources. No longer a fringe market for brave and passionate advocates, this new energy industry has grown to an estimated US$120 billion in 2008. Renewable energy is now part of the mainstream global energy mix.
North American incentives and subsidies to promote "off-oil" political policy and mitigate climate change are growing. From retailers such as Wal-Mart, to venues for rock concerts and business conventions, renewable energy has become the signature for green branding. Electric utilities are being regulated to provide a portion of their generated and distributed power from renewable sources.
On the supply side, there are many investment opportunities, while, on the demand side, there are decisions to be made on the cost-benefits of renewable energy as a component of a climate change compliance strategy.
Innovation and Product Development As consumers become more environmentally conscious, they are demanding that companies and regulators pay closer attention to the types of products being offered and the manner in which they are made. Recent scandals concerning consumer products, such as children's toys and food, have placed the issue squarely in the public eye and highlighted the fact that there is an opportunity for firms with agility and creativity to capitalize.
While consumers may be willing to pay more for a sustainable product, they are not willing to sacrifice functionality or quality. This puts increased pressure on companies to design better products, not just cheaper or greener ones, but promises to raise many market segments above simple price wars.
Allocation of R&D funds and product development efforts will become more important as companies race to meet fresh consumer concerns and changing regulatory requirements with new products; those companies that can successfully bring together proficiency in design, consumer markets, manufacturing, environmental science, and public policy and regulation will likely have a distinct advantage.

DAVIDSON – The halls of the Community School of Davidson were flush with excited sixth-graders May 20 as they decided where to hang photos of survivors, covered lockers to look like crematoriums and painted displays.
For the seventh year, the charter school at 565 Griffith St., is being converted into a museum to teach students – and the public – about the 6 million people, predominantly of the Jewish faith, killed during the Holocaust.
The public is invited to tour the museum 4-6 p.m. May 30 and 1-4 p.m. June 2. Though all are welcome to attend, the event is recommended for children older than sixth grade because of the content.
"Every year I've been here, we've had this museum and every year it's gotten better," said sixth-grader Emerson Houser. "We want to make sure this never happens again. Just because we are capable of these things, it shouldn't happen."
While materials are reused, each year students add something new to the display. Because it's a sixth-grade project, seventh- and eight-graders can remember what they learned and help. The initiative encompasses history, art, math, science and writing, plus incorporates personality characteristics the school emphasizes. What started as a small exhibit now fills every hallway and three classrooms in the middle school. Displays include Hitler's rise to power, propaganda, the concentration camps, heroes, liberation, survivors and hope.
"It's always new," said art teacher Beth Knight, who oversees the project with social studies teacher Dorothy Pagan. "Each is a new group and they show it in a different way."
A new addition is how the United States responded to the Holocaust, not by military, but as residents. It includes the story of the S.S. St. Louis, which was filled with refugees headed to Cuba with the intent of then going to the United States. Passengers weren't admitted into the country and the majority was forced to return to Europe.
"The Holocaust is a great example of what happens when you are intolerant of others," said Knight of why the Holocaust was chosen as the theme. "In sixth grade, they learn about relationships and understanding perspective of looking at things in a different way. This shows what happens when you don't do that. It's a beautiful way to discuss it while learning about the harsh event."
Pagan said students can relate to it by deciding how they would react if they see an injustice, even if it's on a smaller scale like bullying in the hallway – would they be a bystander and watch, join the bullying or stand up to them?
The exhibit inspires student Cora DeGrauw because "they went through such a hard time but kept their hope and faith. People need to be hopeful even when going through a hard time."
Alexa Levi, Meredith McKee and Emma Hassen have been working on the heroes display. It honors people who snuck out or helped smuggle others to safety. Museum patrons will be able to open lockers and see stories of the heroes, plus learn what makes a hero.
Levi said she has been looking forward to the project since her older sister participated.
"You get to learn about what happened in the past and how they risked their lives," she said. "It shows how one person can make a huge difference in the world."
