Member Experience, Use of External Assistance and Evaluation of Business Ideas
Foo, Maw-Der, Journal of Small Business Management
How do members' experience and external interactions shape evaluation of the. team's business idea? With a sample of 74 teams that participated in a business idea competition, we showed that experience as defined by size, mean work experience, and assistance from individuals with business founding experience related positively to the teams' business idea evaluations. The benefits of external founders are more pronounced for smaller than for larger teams. Hiving a. founder in the team did not relate to idea evaluation but interaction effects showed smaller sized teams bad worse evaluations if they did not have a founder in the team.
"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life--think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success." Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)
The entrepreneurship literature probably agrees with the quote just given. Entrepreneurs can have multiple business ideas but at any one time, the entrepreneur may only have the time and energy to develop a limited number of ideas into viable businesses. Ideas are by themselves cheap and how favorably the ideas are evaluated determine whether they are commercially exploited. Especially crucial for nascent ventures are how people outside the team evaluate the ventures' ideas. In nascent ventures, which are ventures at the early stages prior to firm formation, entrepreneurs often lack resources and rely on external sources to provide these resources (Stevenson and Cruikshank 1997). For example, the entrepreneurs in Shane's (2000) case studies needed to secure licenses for the three-dimensional printing technology before they could implement the opportunities discovered. Similarly, Birley's (1986) entrepreneurs sought support from external resources in the form of equipment, space, and money. But for these external persons to provide resources, they may need to be convinced that the business idea is commercially viable.
But what leads to the business idea in the first place? Information from the entrepreneur's personal experiences and work contacts leads to unique information corridors enabling some people to recognize business opportunities (Shane and Venkatarman 2000). The business idea first generated can be crude and require refinement before it can be presented to external parties. And although one person may recognize the business idea, given the complexity of the marketplace, often a team collectively develops the idea into a marketable product or service. In fact, many high-growth ventures are started by several founders rather than by a single individual (Roberts 1991)- Teams can access resources provided by team members and from member interactions with others outside of the team (Ancona and Caldwell 1998).
As information forms the cornerstone in the pursuit of entrepreneurial ideas (Shane 2000; Shane and Venkatarman 2000), we investigated how (1) information embedded in the experiences of team members and (2) the extent members use assistance from social contacts influence how people external to the team evaluate the teams' business ideas. The findings suggest that the experiences each member brings to the team (in terms of team size), and/or mean work experiences predict business idea evaluation. The findings also suggest founding experience matters but how this experience matters depends on team size. Small teams coupled with access to external assistance associated positively to business idea evaluation. The sample for this study is teams participating in a business plan competition. Such a sample examines teams at the early venturing stages, where external evaluations can be particularly critical; teams receiving positive evaluations may attract external resources, such as funding and assistance, that can help the team move to the next stage of venture development. …

Because it can take years after exposure for symptoms to develop, many people who are infected with the virus that causes AIDS don't even realize it. More than one million people in the United States are estimated to be living with HIV, and approximately one in five people with HIV are unaware they're infected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Public outrage over new full-body scanners that passengers must walk through at U.S. airports has prompted a grassroots protest — National Opt-Out Day — which will take place Wednesday, on one of the busiest flying days of the year.
Ineffective. Fiscally irresponsible. Overcrowded.
Those are some of the words used by reform advocates to describe Ohio's criminal justice system. As part of its effort to publicize disparities in the state's prisons, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio will bring its Freedom Tour here on Dec. 6.
With the prospects for repealing the U.S. military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy looking ever dimmer, two local groups will hold a vigil to remember the men and women discharged due to the policy.
The Greater Cincinnati Human Rights Campaign and the Alliance, a student group at Xavier University, will hold the vigil Nov. 15 at the greenspace area on Xavier's campus.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio filed a court brief Wednesday supporting an anti-abortion group that is being investigated for its plans to erect billboards that Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill) said contained false information.
The ACLU's brief supports the Susan B. Anthony List's complaint in federal court that alleges the Ohio law restricting false statements is unconstitutional.
An anti-abortion group is defending the claims it makes on billboards criticizing Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill), but comments from a prominent Catholic bishop appears to support Driehaus' stance.
Cincinnati Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls will lead a contingent of elected officials and community leaders on a road trip to Columbus on Monday to look at some apartment complexes built for homeless people there.
The group will tour two complexes built by National Church Residences (NCR) that provide permanent, supportive housing to formerly homeless individuals.
A local violence intervention program has received a $45,500 grant to continue its work.
Out of the Crossfire (OOTC) recently received the grant from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. One of only nine hospital-based programs in the nation, OOTC offers case management and rehabilitation services to more than 1,200 victims of violent injuries at the University of Cincinnati Hospital since its inception in 2006.
People who want to apply for the state of Ohio's new high-risk medical insurance pool can get free help at two upcoming events.
As part of recent health-care reforms, the state launched the high-risk insurance pool Aug. 1. The program is designed to offer affordable coverage to individuals who have been denied coverage in the past because of pre-existing medical conditions.

Just a few lines in this Aviation Week blog. The close cooperation between US and German forces doesn't surprise me, but what did startle me was this:
Quote:Up to 5,000 US troops are reinforcing the 4,500 German soldiers in northern Afghanistan. Guttenberg welcomed the availability of US combat helicopters. Germany is not ready to send its own Tiger combat helicopters to Afghanistan.
US helicopters already provided medical evacuation of German soldiers under fire on 2 April. During McChrystal's visit, Guttenberg awarded the Ehrenkreuz der Bundeswehr in Gold (Bundeswehr Cross of Honor in Gold) to 14 US helicopter crew members in their absence for this mission.
What are the issues with the Tigers? I would have thought this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use these expensive machines and show what they can do.

Is there a better way to get calendar notifications on Linux/Ubuntu? The current popup stays within the Zimbra Desktop window and I often miss it.
Is there a better way to get calendar notifications on Linux/Ubuntu? The current popup stays within the Zimbra Desktop window and I often miss it.
Bug 38020 – Linux version: audible alert doesn't work
It would be really nice if we had a window popup in front of all other windows. Knowing Zimbra is a webapp, this may not be readily easy.
Maybe even just offer us an option to run a command when an alert pops up, this will allow us to type a single line to use libnotify.
I have been using a application from Rainlendar.com to monitor my Zimbra Calendar. It is multiple platform calendar application that support ical monitor and with notification popup done the right way. However, I could not recommend it before because it dose not support the icalendar format Zimbra use to handle exceptions in reoccurring meetings. Recent enchancement had fixed this issue. This is what I found the best calendar notification software to work with Zimbra. You can try it out yourself for free. Be sure to update to the Rainlendar 2.5 Build 81 beta from its forum. That's version with the corrected icalendar support.
Great thanks!
I actually already have Rainlendar2 purchased as I have used this one Windows quite a bit. Now looking to see how to export and auto import the calendar information into Rainlendar. :-D
In the Pro version, just add Network Shared Calendar and point the URL to something like
There no need to import and export. Rainlendar2 pull the ical directly from server.
I also recommend turning on "read only" flag, even though rainlendar2 can put events back into the calendar, it may overwirte changes/exceptions in the reoccurring meetings when you are update/adding other meetings to Rainlendar. Work best just for monitoring and notification.

Well if West can go to MotoGP Max going to Kiefer makes sense.
Both had average seasons (at best) with "MZ" last year and their signing to go to a higher class (West) and a championship winning team (Max) implies that some in the paddock don't think it was the riders fault.

Arrangements must be made with the Department of Recreation by calling 732-390-6797. Extended Care PM pick-up time is noted on the extended care form.
How are behavioral and disciplinary problems handled?
Positive reinforcement, assertive role-modeling and a sense of fair play are generally regarded as key components of camp counseling and leadership. Rules are necessary in any organization, and the disciplinary approach taken is reasonable and well communicated. If penalties are involved for violations, they will be applied quickly, fairly, calmly, and without undue criticism to campers.
At the beginning of the camp season, the campers, together with the staff, will develop and write their own set of rules that will help them create a positive environment. As a result, the campers will know what is expected of them and will understand what is appropriate behavior for them and for others.
Campers who choose not to accept these responsibilities are subject to disciplinary action which may include: verbal reprimand, written warning, time-out from activity, exemption from activity, conference between camper and Site Director, conference between Recreation Supervisor, Site Director and parent, and expulsion from Day Camp. Disciplinary action will vary according to the frequency, severity, and nature of the incident.
How does a camp handle an illness?
If your child is not feeling well before camp, please do not send them to camp. There is no nurse or facility to keep children who are ill.

Too much ice to safely ride today and I did try. But walking down to the Bike shed was enough. Heavy Dew last night and a good frost so not a good idea to ride. I waited till midday before calling it off so it was down to cleaning and checking the TCR. It was still cold in the shed so out on a paved area in the sun.
Just a few things to check before starting such as the gears working properly- Wheels not needing trueing and chain wear- but then it was down to taking the wheels off and clean the bike. The bike has done about 3,000 miles in the year I have had it and surprised at that chain wear. Not much and not enough to warrant a new chain. Cassette and chainrings are not showing wear yet and the cables still run free.
Did not want to throw any water about so it was down to plenty of rags to clean up the rear end. Problem is the rear end is white. I would clean it and then touch a bit of grease and spread all the black right over the frame again. So plenty more clean rags. Just got a triple and as this one needed a bit of work on it- It's going on this bike. Another tip- Take the pedals off before removing the cranks. I haven't yet. Will have to get a 3 speed front derailler in the week but That can wait till next saturdays project. Then it was down to the cables. I always fit stainless steel cables but time to release the outers from the frame and lube the inners with "Dry" chain oil. Headset next and decided to take a chance- It is running free so did not bother. That's a change from the MTB's I would normally have to change the bearings on the MTB at least once a year so perhaps these road bikes are easier to maintain. Check all the nuts and bolts and they are all tight enough.
Now normally it would down to a basic assembly and test ride- but I am not kidding Do not get a white bike. That bike was immaculate before I started assembly. By the time I finished It was just as grubby as when I started. Luckily- when the frame was stripped down- I had used Furniture Polish on the CF, and this time it did polish up clean.
So whatever you do in the future----Choose the of colour your bike carefully. It makes for easier maintenance.

Visit Eagle Valley Golf Course Website
History of Eagle Valley Golf Course
In 1974, Carson City acquired land and began construction on what is now Eagle Valley's East Course. The course was developed in response to an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandate prohibiting the City from discharging treated wastewater effluent to the Carson River. The City chose to establish a municipal golf course and irrigate the course with the effluent. Construction of Eagle Valley East was funded by EPA grants.
The land on which Eagle Valley East is located was deeded to the City with the condition that it be used for open space and public use.
For 20 years, Eagle Valley operated as a division of Carson City Parks and Recreation. Operations were structured as an enterprise fund. In 1985, Carson City took out $4 million in bonds to fund the construction of another 18 holes, known as Eagle Valley West. Construction of the West course was driven both by the growing popularity of recreational and tournament golf in Carson City and the need to find more uses for the increasing amount of City-generated treated wastewater effluent. The land used for Eagle Valley West was deeded to the City with golf as its express purpose.
In 1997, Carson City outsourced operations of Eagle Valley to a non-profit, the Carson City Municipal Golf Corporation (CCMGC). CCMGC was formed to manage the two courses and to promote youth golf education.

Rosario Dawson Dumps Kevin Smith
By Josh Tyler 2007-08-08 12:21:27 comments
Kevin Smith has hinted for awhile now that the part of Miri in his new comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno was written with Clerks II star Rosario Dawson in mind, and Dawson had been spotted going in to visit Smith for auditions. Unfortunately, Rosario has chosen the kid from Transformers and Indiana Jones 4 instead. Shes following the money.
MTV recently spoke with Dawson, who is out promoting her awful new movie Descent. While quizzing her, she revealed that she wont be a part of Zack and Miri. Instead, she says He wrote it for me, but Im just signing on to do [Eagle Eye] and thats going to be shooting from November to March.
Eagle Eye is the movie that re-teams Disturbia director DJ Caruso with Shia LaBeouf and it probably has a much bigger budget than Zack and Miri and thus probably a bigger paycheck for Rosario. Its a big dumb thriller about a slacker whose single mother is framed as a terrorist. Rosario is too young to play the mother and Shia is playing the slacker, so presumably shes taking some second banana part in a big dumb terrorist movie instead of a starring role in a smaller, smarter, riskier, less likely to give her a big pay day Kevin Smith movie. Rosario would rather go play with the cool kids. What a disappointment. Shes officially lost her place as the object of geekdom obsession.

In a survey of nearly 4,000 IT managers across 27 countries, Kaspersky Lab have not only found that targeted attacks on the rise year-over-year, but also identified the business sectors most likely to be targeted. Globally, 18% of organisations in the Government & Defense sector reported at least one targeted attack within the past 12 months. The rate of targeted attacks reported within the Government & Defense sector was the highest rate reported in this years survey, a notable increase from the global average of 12% reported across all business sectors.
When looking at data across all business sectors, its also clear that targeted attacks are not limited to the Government & Defense industry. Other business segments have felt the brunt of targeted attacks at a higher-than-average rate, including the Telecommunications industry where 17% of businesses reported targeted attacks, and the Financial Services and Transportation & Logistics sectors, both of which reported targeted attacks within the last 12 months at a rate of 16%.
The survey responses show the overall number of targeted attacks to be increasing as well. The 12% of all businesses reporting a targeted attack in 2013 has risen from the 9% average reported in 2013 and 2012.
Conducted in partnership with B2B International, these results have been published in Kaspersky Labs 2014 IT Security Risks summary report, which outlines the types of internal and external security risks most often encountered by businesses across a variety of industries, along with the costs associated with an IT security incident, the types of data most lost as a result of these attacks, and more.
About 94% of companies reportedly encountered at least one externally-sourced data security incident within the past 12 months, including phishing attacks, DDoS attacks, and theft of mobile devices. In 28% of these instances, business reported the loss of sensitive business data.
While the overall amount of data stolen from targeted attacks is lower than the losses that result from general malware attacks, it must be noted that general malware attacks themselves are much more common (an average of 61% of businesses reported malware attacks compared to an average of 12% reported targeted attacks). However, the value of the data stolen from a targeted attack is much more likely to be highly valuable to the attackers, and the loss of this highly-sensitive data (future product plans, company financial statements, etc.) would cause more long-term damage to a companys business outlook.

Fuel Systems - Fuelish DeliveryWritten by on December 1, 2004 Contributors: Barry Grant Carburetors The What And Why Of Fuel System Parts
In the quest for more horsepower, we add bigger cams, bigger intakes, and bigger pistons. Why is it then that we don't make provisions for the larger demands placed on the fuel system? We've seen guys have 8-71 blowers atop their RB engine, only to see a 5/16-inch fuel line with one of those glass surrounded screen fuel filters before the carb. Sure, most of us will never need a 3/4-inch fuel line with a 500-gph fuel pump, but the fuel system must be considered when upgrading your drivetrain. Heck, even if not increasing the cubic-inch displacement, the fuel system should at least be checked out to make sure it's functioning properly.
There are different kinds of fuel systems, and the one you use is directly proportionate to the engine's requirements. Whether you use a "dead head" system that consists of a fuel line with a filter and fuel pump ending at the carburetor or a return-style system that circulates the fuel from the tank to the carb with a bypass for excess fuel to go back to the tank, making sure all the components are working correctly is, or at least should be, a major concern. Pressures and volumes vary depending upon the kind of fuel used (gasoline or alcohol), and the type of fuel system employed. with routine maintenance, a good fuel system will pay dividends; yet many cars are fitted with fuel systems that fall below the necessary standards. With a little help from Barry Grant/Demon Fuel Systems of Dahlonega, Georgia, we have compiled a short list of the most common mistakes in fuel systems, and a guide to correct them.
Squeezing The Juice
One of the biggest mistakes made when designing a fuel system is choosing the incorrect line size. While a 5/16- or 3/8-inch line may be appropriate for a stock or mildly modified street vehicle, it is not suggested for an application designed on a racing fuel system between the fuel cell and the pump. Racers often joke about their first race car, and how the fuel line was so small it functioned as the main jet. Ensure the fuel is supplied through lines that are the correct size for the application. Push-Lok, stainless steel braided hoses, and aluminum tubing are the most common fuel lines used on race cars.
Right-Angle Hose-End Fittings From The Pump To Carburetor
Cars like the famed Six-Pack-equipped Road Runner used brass fittings to plumb the induction. Unless doing a restoration of one of these styles of cars, avoid forged 90-degree elbow fuel fittings as much as possible. Although they are inexpensive and readily available, they're restrictive and frequently cause fuel flow troubles. Hose ends with angles of 90 and 45 degrees should also be avoided, if possible. should it become necessary to use one, use radiused-style hose ends (90-degree bends) as they have much better rates of flow. They're manufactured from aluminum, equipped with swivel ends for a positive seal, and are easy to install.
Yep, It Fits
All too often, we see cars with too large a carburetor. we have even seen basically stock 318s with tunnel rams. Carburetors are designated by their venturii size. Having the proper venturii size for a given application ensures the carburetor generates sufficient air speed. Air speed creates the necessary depression (low pressure) to draw fuel through the metering systems and booster venturii into the air stream to be atomized. The Race Demon, which is equipped with removable venturii sleeves, boosters, and so on, overcomes most of the sizing problems. When choosing the right carburetor, engine size, camshaft characteristics, and heads play a critical role.
In a hypothetical case, let's say we have a 360 LA engine with 11.0:1 compression and a camshaft with .258-degrees of duration at .050-inch lift. Right off the bat, according to the carb selection charge at www.barrygrant.com, we can see a Road Demon 725-cfm vacuum secondary carb would be too small. On the other hand, a Mighty Demon 750-cfm mechanical carb would be ideal. Always get the manufacturer's suggestion when choosing a carb.
Air Heads
Finally, no fuel system is complete without placing some thought into the air that enters the carb. A quality air filter is a must, and advancements in filtration technology have made the air filter welcome on any performance engine due to its increased air-flow. Tests have proven that the right air filter shows negligible decreases in horsepower on the dyno.
Fuel Pumps
Whether to use a mechanical or electric fuel pump depends on personal preference, and the demands that will be placed on the fuel pump. In the past, the prevailing thought was that you must use an electric pump for performance applications. Depending on how much performance you are looking for, that is true. But with the advancements made in fuel pump technology, a mechanical is now a viable option when a certain amount of performance is desired. Another consideration when using a high-volume pump is a regulator. If a fuel pump delivers more than 7 1/2 psi, it will overpower the needle and seat, and flood the carb. A regulator is an adjustable device that plumbs in the fuel system after the pump, and regulates the fuel pressure to the carb. Again, consult the manufacturer for their recommendations. If you do use an electric fuel pump, be sure to use a relay in the electrical system to ensure the pump is provided with the proper voltage in order to maintain proper fuel flow.

This comparison shot of these two fuel lines is of a stock 5/16-inch steel line and an upgrade to 3/8-inch going into a mildly modified street car.<strong?Filter Fluff
The fuel filter is one area that should not be overlooked. The absence of a fuel filter will cause more headaches than the supposed increase in flow by their absence. But what kind of filter is right for your application? Fuel filters come in two different configurations: paper and metal. A paper filter is a good option when dealing with standard automotive fuels. If you add alcohol or other fuels, a steel filter will be required. Not only is having a fuel filter a good idea, but maintenance of your filter is a must. Unless you want to experience problems with the way your engine runs, it will need to be changed from time to time. To protect the fuel pump and carburetor, use a good filter before the pump and filtered fittings at the carburetor.The BG-5000 fuel filter features billet aluminum construction and is compatible with both gasoline and alcohol.The Race Demon with ConcentraCast venturii, removable boosters, billet metering-blocks, large capacity fuel chambers, and billet aluminum baseplate strives to achieve higher levels of consistent performance than conventional designs. Concentracast is a new die-casting technology employed by Demon Carburetion. It is the most repeatable method of producing concentric venturii without misalignment or core shift.This inline fuel filter is made of billet aluminum construction with a stainless steel element for use with gasoline or alcohol. A paper element is available for gasoline use only.This six-valve mechanical pump is available in two versions: 9-psi for gasoline or 15-psi for alcohol. With a capacity to deliver up to 130 gallons-per-hour, the six-valve pump requires a diaphragm bypass when used with gasoline and a throttle bypass for alcohol.This Rush Air filter uses premium U.S. long staple cotton in a stable sandwich of aluminum mesh. Long staple cotton has much longer "whisker" fibers extending into the airflow than other competitive materials. As air moves through the filter that is treated with the specialty filtration oil, the longer whisker is more active as it waves back and forth, sweeping the air, seeking out and capturing the passing dirt particles as they pass through the filter. The longer, more active, oil-treated "whiskers" provide greater filtration surface to attract and retain engine-damaging dirt, while optimizing airflow over conventional paper filters.When it comes to getting the fuel to the carb, having more than 6 1/2 to 7 p.s.i. will definitely cause headaches. The excess pressure will force the fuel past the needle and seat, and flood the engine. Definitely not something you want to deal with. These fuel logs will connect the carb to the fuel source, and they can be ordered with an internal regulator.

NBC/News Corp. site faces challenges
by James McQuivey and Josh Bernoff
According to the LA Times, NBC and NewsCorp will create a shared destination site for their television and movie content. Sure, advertisers will get excited about the chance to sponsor the American Idol page on the site, so the motivation is obvious. But will it work?
It won't challenge YouTube. YouTube is two parts social experience, one part video experience. That's how it gets millions of viewers. But this site could draw traffic from NBC.com or Fox.com, as viewers learn to seek the show they like rather than the network that produces it. If other networks come on board it could become a significant online destination.
It won't survive if: the interface isn't fun to use, the content you want isn't easy to find, or the ad model gets in the way of the show (have a look at abc.com's newly released player which integrates ads and TV-quality streams in a sustainable way).
What does this mean? Likely, a delayed launch in order to get the social and interface features right. Just in time for the next season of American Idol.
More added by Josh: According to the Wall St. Journal, the venture has a distribution relationship with MSN, AOL, and Yahoo! We've already written about how Microsoft is lining itself up as the friend of copyright holders and the anti-Google. With this distribution the venture becomes much more powerful -- but how will it be rationalized with these companies' own very extensive video sites? This thing could take off like a rocket -- or it could expode on the launchpad, with too many partners trying to get their fingers in the design.

Elijah Bible Crafts and Activities
for Sunday School
How to Make Crafts and Activities Relating to the Bible
Story of Elijah and the Ravens
Elijah and the Ravens Bible Lesson
The Following Craft and Activity Ideas Come from The Resource Room.
Polly, a raven puppet, tells the story of Elijah and the Ravens. His great, great, great, grandfather's second cousin was one of the ravens that fed Elijah at the Kerith Brook. Since Polly only speaks bird language, he uses objects, pictures, and body movements to tell the story. The teacher interprets for Polly when he does have something to say. In this lesson children learn how God took care of Elijah while he was hiding out from King Ahab, and that God will also take care of their needs.
Bible Verse: My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
Free Sample Lesson from The Resource Room for Elijah and the Raven!
Giving Raven
This Giving Raven is made with paper plates and construction paper.
The belly is a pocket in which things can be stored. It will remind your children that God took care of Elijah and he will take care of them. You can place a label with the Bible verse written on it on the raven's belly.

"God Will Supply All Our Needs" Mural
Print out the words, cut them out, glue them together, and staple them to the top of your bulletin board. Have your children draw pictures of things that God has given them using the raven holding a picture printouts, and staple them to your bulletin board under the title. (This Pattern is available to members only.)
Raven Puppet Craft
Make Raven Puppets from brown lunch bags.
Directions and patterns for this craft are found on the Puppet Crafts Page. Have your children act out the story using their raven puppets.
Make a Sitting Raven Holding a Sign
This cute little bird can be made from fun foam or construction paper. A small sign is attached to its beak to remind the children of the story, and that God will take care of them like he did Elijah in the wilderness.
A pattern and directions are available on the Free Sample Lesson page.
I used the raven craft with the note in his mouth to do a praise lesson. We colored and cut out a picture of a scarecrow (enlarged on a copy machine) and glued it to a cardboard paper towel roll (painted brown to resemble wood). Then after assembling the crow, we glued it on top of the paper towel roll (pole). The words on the note were changed to "We're crowing about God". Janet McKay
I used the sitting raven craft with my 2-3 yr old class. Our lesson was God told Adam to name all the animals. I used the Raven holding a sign "God told Adam to name all the animals". We put it on a short dowel rod. When our lesson was over the kids could remember what it was about. They would look at the raven and tell me that God told Adam to name all the animals in the air, water, and on land. We had a party after because it was end of our year. All these kids move into another class next week. I invited the ones that were going to move into this class in for the party. They didn't want anything but the ravens. So guess what we had to make them. They loved it. The smallest was 18 months old and he wouldn't give his up to no one. Still had it when Church was over outside. Thanks again for all the crafts and lessons on your site! Love it, Muyrl

Make a Bird Hand Puppet
All you need to make this cute little puppet is printer paper, tape, and crayons.
Your children can pretend to be the ravens in the story and go and find food for Elijah using these puppets.
The Pattern for this craft is available to members of The Resource Room.
©2006, Digital by Design, Inc. -*See Copyright Information
Our children's church ranges from three years old up to 6th grade, so I usually use the younger lesson and go up or down depending on the average age of the children. I always use the craft because the younger children love it and usually the older ones do, too. The older ones will even help the younger ones and that is a blessing to see and a wonderful character trait to instill in them.
Bible Verse Review
In this activity the children pretend to be ravens and bring food to Elijah. Before class draw some pictures of food, color them, and cut them out, and write one word of the verse on each food. Hide the food pictures around the room. Pick a child to pretend to be a raven and fly around the room until he finds some food. When he finds something, he should bring it back to you. Take the food from the raven. Ask another child to come up and tape it to the wall. Then have another child pretend to be a raven and do the same thing. Pick another children to tape the food to the wall in the correct order of the verse. Keep going until all the food is found and the verse is complete.

Elijah Spinner Review Game
Children collect food cards by spinning the raven and landing on "Pick a card" spaces. But not all spaces instruct you to 'Pick a card". Children may also be instructed to "caw like a crow, get a snack (real food), pick a food card from another player, or walk like a bird.
When all the cards have been picked, write the Bible verse on the board. Ask your children to look at the words on their cards. Point to the words on the board one at a time and ask the child who has that card to come up to the board and tape the card underneath that word. Go over the previous words each time you add a new word. When all the words have been taped to the board, have your children say the whole verse. This Pattern is available to members of The Resource Room.

Help the Raven Find Food for Elijah
Send one child out of the room and pick another child to hide some food. You can use pictures of food or plastic food. Call the child in or have your bird puppet caw. As the child searches for the food make your puppet caw when he is going towards the hidden food. If he turns the wrong way have the puppet shake his head no. If he needs to look higher, have the puppet point up with his beak. When the child is really close have the puppet caw very fast. Keep playing until all the children have had a turn to find the food.

Pretend to Be Ravens and Feed the Class
Have your bird puppet bring a snack to each child. Have the children put some of the snack in a Baggie and place it in the paper plate birds they made earlier. Also make copies of the Bible verse for each child and staple it to the outside of the Baggie. Tell the children to take their birds home and have him deliver the food and verse to someone they know and to tell that person about Elijah and how God cared for him.
You could also put snacks in plastic bags and hide them around the room. (You may have to use another room that isn't being used.) Have the children use their bird puppets and go into the other room to look for food. When they find some food, they should bring it back to the room and give it to another student.

"Four Little Ravens" Printable Itty Bitty Book
This Itty Bitty book goes along with the lesson of Elijah and the Ravens.
"Four little ravens sitting in a tree,
One flew off and then there were three.
He flew off to get some meat,
So that Elijah could have something to eat.
Three little ravens sitting in a tree,
One of them said, "Oh, Elijah needs me!"
He flew off to find some bread,
So that Elijah could be fed.
Two little ravens sitting in a tree,
One flew off to see what he could see.
He found his friends sharing their food
with Elijah. He chewed and chewed.
One little raven sitting in a tree,
He flew off to find the other three
He flew around. He look and he looked
Until he found them at the Cherith Brook.

Make Bread
Before class prepare some yeast bread and let it rise. (Or buy the pre-made bread dough and thaw it out before class.) Give each child a handful of bread. Let them shape their dough the way they would like. Let the dough rise for half an hour. Bake the bread dough during the lesson. If you don't have an oven in church, you can have the children help you make some bread from scratch. Show them how to knead the bread. Give them each a handful in a plastic bag and tell them they can take it home and bake it. Write the Bible verse on the outside of the bag and the directions on how to bake the bread.

Make a Super Easy Rainstick
What you will need:
Legal-sized Paper (Any Color)
Clear Tape
Markers (We used Sharpie Fabric Markers, Marvy Fabric Markers, and Sharpies) Highlighter Markers also work well.
Newspaper or Scrap Paper
Dry Rice
Watch a "View it and Do it" video on how to make these rainsticks:
How to Make the Super Easy Rainstick:
1. Roll one legal-sized piece of paper up into a tube that is about two inches wide.
2. Roll a second piece of paper over the first one to make the tube stronger.
3. Press one end together, fold it up 1/2" and staple it closed.
4. Cut newspaper into long strips that are about 5" wide.
5. Crinkle up the newspaper to make a long skinny snake shape. Twist the newspaper starting from one end. Place the twisted end against a large maker and start winding it around the marker as you twist the paper. Wind and twist as you go. (It may be easier for younger children to just twist the entire length of the paper and then twist it around the marker.)
6. Remove the twisted paper from the marker trying not to let it unwind.
7. Place the twisted paper into the tube. Do this three times to fill up the tube.
Tip: If you have very young children, you can just have them crinkle up small sheets (3" x 3") of newspaper and place them in the tube.
8. Add 1/2 cup of rice to the tube and close up the other end. (You can also use very small pebbles.)
9. Write the Bible verse on the rainstick and then have your children color or decorate the sticks.
10. If you have time, add raindrops and beads. Cut raindrop shapes from card stock and punch holes at the tops of the raindrops. Tie the raindrops to yarn and then wind the yarn around one end of the rainstick. Tie the yarn and then add beads to the other end of the yarn. Tie the end of the yarn so the bead don't fall off.
This craft goes with the Bible Lesson, God Sends Rain, on The Resource Room.

Make a Cloud Picture
Children can glue cotton balls on a picture with clouds and raindrops. Pattern available on The Resource Room.
Discover How Many Drops of Water Will Fit on the Top of a Quarter While Discussing and Reviewing the Lesson.
You will need a quarter and an eyedropper. (You may also want to have extra eyedroppers available for the children to experiment with later.) Before class practice dropping drops of water on a quarter. Discover how many drops a quarter will hold before it runs off. It is really interesting to watch as the water begins to bulge over the sides of the quarter. You will be amazed at how much water a quarter actually holds. I counted about 40 drops.
You can use this activity as a review game or just use it as an experiment.

Ask the children how many drops of water they think will fit on the top of the quarter without running off. Drop a drop of water on the quarter using the eyedropper. Add a few more drops. Keep adding drops until the water runs off the quarter.
Review Game
Ask the children how many drops of water they think will fit on the top of the quarter without running off. Drop a drop of water on the quarter using the eyedropper. Add a few more drops. Divide the children into teams. Tell the children that you will add one drop of water for every correct answer they give. Take turns asking the teams questions about the lesson. Add a drop for every correct answer. The team whose turn it is when the water runs off wins.
Play Bible Verse Review Games with Balloon Raindrops
Make some raindrops by filling some balloons with flour.
Use heavy duty balloons, blow them up to stretch them out and then let the air out. Use a funnel to fill the balloons with flour.
Place the balloon on the end of the funnel. I used the eraser end of a pencil to push the flour into the pencil. When the balloon is full pull it off the funnel and tie the balloon closed. (Warning: Keep an eye on the children as they play with these and make sure they don't puncture them with something sharp. Do not give them to young children who might put them into their mouths. They could puncture them with their teeth. They are very sturdy and will tolerate a lot of abuse. I would use these only in class and not give them to the children to take home. They would not make a safe toy for young children.) You will find games and Bible verse review activities on The Resource Room using these cute raindrops.

Raindrop Roundup Review
Before class cut out a lot of raindrop shapes from blue paper. Write the Bible verse, one word per raindrop, on each raindrop shape. Make enough sets of raindrops so that you have one set for every child in your room. It is okay to have extra.
In class write the Bible verse on the board and go over the verse several times. Have the children sit in a circle around the room. Ask the children if they have ever seen it rain inside. Throw all the raindrops up and let them fall to the floor. Tell the children on the word go, they should go and look for one raindrop with the word "He" written on it. Show them the word. Once every child has found a raindrop with the word "He" on it, tell them to find a raindrop with the word "gives" on it. Keep going until the children have found all the words to the Bible verse. Make a cloud shaped pocket (pattern available on The Resource Room) by gluing two cloud shapes together and writing the Bible verse on the outside. Have the children place their raindrops in the cloud pocket so they can take them home and study the Bible verse. (This activity can be done with nonreaders. They can just compare the words written on the board to the words written on the raindrops).

Panana sandwich at a nearby fair
It's a treat inspired by the King of Rock and Roll, and its creator is taking his show on the road all summer.
Phil Delzeit is the owner of the Panana Stand, a traveling trailer that serves his signature carnival treat — a peanut butter and banana sandwich deep fried in funnel cake batter and topped with powdered sugar and raspberry chocolate dipping sauce. He calls it the panana.
"I guess you can say I am a big Elvis fan," said Mr. Delzeit. "I knew he liked fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, so I just ran with the idea."
Cooking Channel show "Carnival Eats" interviewed Mr. Delzeit about his unique treat on June 21 while on location at the Northeast Fair in Pittston. Carnival Eats is expected to air the show at the end of August.
"The were just extremely nice," said Mr. Delzeit. "They even bought and passed them out to people to film their reactions. It was great."
In addition to the original panana, Mr. Delzeit prepares the treat four other ways, including adding strawberry and blueberry jam, marshmallow fluff and chocolate chips. To wash them all down, the Panana Man also sells candy apple cider — apple cider infused with cherry flavoring.
And those with an incurable sweet tooth can inquire about what Mr. Delzeit calls it the Panana Split Challenge. Anyone who can consume all five kinds of panana topped with two scoops of ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate raspberry sauce and a cherry will win a T-shirt and candy apple cider for life.
"It is $15 and if you finish it you get your money back," Mr. Delzeit added.
Mr. Delzeit and his Panana Stand will make an appearance on July 12 at the Antique Show at Village Green in Forty Fort and at the Bloomsburg Fair in September. To find him, just look for Panana Man's mascot Chucky the Monkey, an animatronic monkey outside of the trailer.
"We chose him because monkeys like pananas, I mean bananas," said Mr. Delzeit's 11-year-old daughter, Sarah.

Fox // 2010 // 82 Minutes // Unrated
Reviewed by Judge David Johnson // December 10th, 2010
Our long, national nightmare continues...
I'd love to employ some hack vampire wordplay here, but all the terrible clichés were used on the disc cover.
From Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the two guys who have been an unstoppable toxic waste factory of awful parody movies, comes their latest, the inevitable Twilight spoof job.
This is a different Friedberg/Seltzer misadventure than what I'm used to. The Date Movie/Disaster Movie/Epic Movie blueprint of blending together a series of cultural references whether they have anything to do with "dating" or "disasters" or "epics" and offering the resulting steaming pile of offal up as "parody."
With Vampires Suck, you're looking at essentially a beat-by-beat retelling of the Twilight movies. And when I say beat-by-beat, that's what I mean. Scenes and sequences are recreated wholesale and is the case with these Friedberg and Seltzer feature-length enemas, the tweaks for "comic effect" are minimal. So you'll have the Edward/Bella scene re-done and then the Bella character says something and points to the Jersey Shore cast. For some reason.
There are a lot of "for some reason" set-ups tossed in, whether it's a random kick to the groin or a non-sequitur involving Alice in Wonderland. The result is an oppressive atmosphere of desperation to somehow -- somehow!!! -- get a laugh. If that means fistfights with a man in a wheelchair or the hackiest of hack jokes about Fox News, then so be it.
None of it works, however, and the manner in which these attempts at humor flame out is simultaneously terrifying and nauseating. Terrifying because there is apparently enough of an audience to keep green-lighting these nightmares and nauseating for, well, I feel like I came up with funnier jokes with my moron high school friends at the lunch table and no one is giving me a couple million bucks to make movies.
The Blu-ray features both the theatrical and the extended "Bite Me" edition (ha!) but all that separates the two is about a minute-and-a-half of footage. There is no reason why an unrated version has to be included save for the obvious reason that something unrated might tend to come across as edgier and sell better. But that's just me being cynical, I'm sure.
Picture quality is fine enough, though the detail struck me as soft. It still represents a noticeable upgrade over its standard-def counterparts and doesn't flounder, but I was far from floored. DTS-HD Master Audio track performs well, but doesn't have much to do; Vampires Suck is a muted, slow-moving affair. It's also not funny at all. Have I not mentioned that already?
Extras: bloopers (hey at least there was some laughter associated with the production) and deleted scenes that best left unmentioned.
There was one gag I sort of liked, as Edward and Bella race through the woods on a Segway. Also, you had some shots taken at the overwrought teenage angst of the Twilight phenomenon; you'd think those would be layups, but in typical fashion Friedberg and Seltzer milked them into an emaciated turd husk.
What does it say about the awfulness of a movie to make me want to defend Twilight?!
Guilty. Please, stop making these movies and get a stockroom job at Hot Topic or something.

text: April 25, 2014Reviewer: sara in New JerseyThese are great. I like them better than goldenberries flavor wise bc they're not tart & they've got their own unique mildly sweet flavor to them. They're hard to describe taste kind of like natural purple grapes, dehydrated without added sugar. But absolutely nothing like a raisin. Super healthy & great addition to any dish or trail mix.

A 24-year-old Kentucky man is under arrest, charged with persuading an 11-year-old Texas girl to send nude photos of herself through her PlayStation 3.
As reported by Houston's ABC-13, police allege that Anthony Scott O'Shea's manipulation of his victim was managed entirely via the console. Sgt Gary Spurger told ABC-13:
He used the PS3 for everything, checked his email, played on the internet, on his PS3 and of course, played his games on PS3, but had no computer…
[O'Shea] asked for pictures of her breasts. She said no. He said friends do things for each other. You're on my friends list. If you don't, I'm gonna remove you, at which point she feels nervous and scared and sent the pictures.
Police say that Shea mailed the girl's pictures to others around the country. The suspect's bail is set at $300,000.
For its part, Sony provided investigators with technical assistance in the case.

Toledo, Ohio's Maywood Avenue Gets Facelift and Gains Recognition from Local Leaders
Facelift? Facelift equals street-scale green infrastructure retrofit. This story is just one of many like it, but it sure is good.
Over three years ago, the City of Toledo's Division of Environmental Services along with Tetra Tech and American Rivers put together a street-scale green infrastructure project outline that would include the use of bioswales in rights-of-ways, permeable pavement on sidewalks and driveway approaches, and rain gardens and rain barrels on private property. This project mimicked well established street-scale projects in Burnsville, Minnesota and Seattle, Washington. Inspired by these projects by how effective they are in improving water quality and reducing stormwater runoff, we felt the need to put together a project of similar scale in Toledo.
One issue with this project proposal was that at the time there was very little federal and state dollars being allocated to projects like this for design, construction, and monitoring. It was necessary to look closely at existing resources that could possibly integrate funds for these types of green infrastructure projects. The most likely place to integrate was states' Revolving Loan Funds.
As this project sat on the shelf, efforts had been underway to secure water infrastructure funding for green infrastructure and water efficiency as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). ARRA required that states use 20% of their allocation under the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Funds for green infrastructure, water efficiency, energy efficiency, and environmental innovation.
It was as if the "green" light turned on once this funding for the Green Reserve under ARRA was secured (see Putting Green to Work: Economic Recovery Investments for Clean and Reliable Water). The City of Toledo applied to Ohio EPA's Water Pollution Control Loan Fund program and was awarded nearly $1 million for their project.
In this time, Toledoans have seen significant changes in attitudes regarding green infrastructure and how it might fit in with city and county goals for long-term solutions to combined sewer issues. Last month, the Maywood Avenue Project had finished construction. An article in Toledo's Free Press highlights some necessary steps the city had been taking over the years to address water quality issues in regard to combined sewer overflows. It is evident that collaborating with local partners to put together good green infrastructure projects is an approach that wins big in the end.
It also gets the attention of our local leaders. On October 20, 2010, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur visited the site and spoke with residents about how this will not only reduce their flooding issues, but also beautify their neighborhood and feel supported by their local government. See the Toledo Blade article for the complete story.

Bjork Made a Nature Documentary About Music...
Bjork is a multi-media music mogul who's always been happy to push herself into new artistic and scientific mediums. For her latest project, she's teaming up with the U.K.'s Channel 4 to make a special documentary. More from Spin:
Björk has teamed with British broadcasting legend David Attenborough for a new documentary about the relationship between music, nature, and technology. Directed by Louise Hooper, the film — which is titled Attenborough and Björk: The Nature of Music — is set to air on the U.K.'s Channel 4 this Saturday, July 27 at 7 p.m. (local time) as part of the network's ongoing Mad4Music season, a series of "groundbreaking films that challenge the way we hear and think about music." The doc was produced by Pulse Films (the same company that worked on last year's LCD Soundsystem flick Shut Up And Play The Hits) and was reportedly inspired by Björk's multimedia 2011 album, Biophilia.
As Channel 4 points out, The Nature of Music will "tell the remarkable story of how and why music has evolved, our unique relationship with it, and how technology might transform the way we engage with it in the future." Various instruments used in Björk's Biophilia project will feature heavily in the film (the pendulum-harp," "Sharpsicord," and "Gameleste" among them), while Attenborough (who narrated Biophilia's iPad functions) will focus on how music exists in nature, using footage of the lyre bird and blue whales, as well as other animals. For a quick peek at the documentary, watch the above trailer for Channel 4's Mad4Music programming.

Church of Lazlo
Eva's sitting next to me putting pieces of granola bar into an envelope she found while tornado-ing through my desk drawer. Wonder who she's gonna mail it to. For the next [fill in the blank] years, I have made my desk drawer a junk drawer for babies and toddlers to rifle through. Like a mini toy box, if you will.
A friend of mine once met a new neighbor and the neighbor asked her what church she goes to. My friend replies, "The Church of Lazlo." That made me practically pee my pants. Why? Because it's the name of an alternative radio show in Kansas City. I may be Catholic, but I like to mess with religious people for some reason. We take ourselves WAY too seriously!

Sounds like a good way to start the morning :D I wonder if a little heavy metal would get my kids moving a little faster :DReplyDelete
Indeed we all take ourselves too seriously in church. My hubby is such a kidder and I know some people don't "get" him but I do. Happiest childhood memory is my Gramma's bottom drawer in the kitchen full of wonderful kitchen tools to play with.ReplyDelete

Humans, in general, seem to take themselves too seriously most of the time. We could learn a lot by connecting more often with the plants, animals, rocks, clouds and sun. "Being" (without expectations), instead of always "doing," is really why were are here.ReplyDelete
Oh, and I don't like being an 80s Hair Band buzz-kill, but "Bang Your Head" is a song by Quiet Riot, not Twisted Sister. And that's your News and Worthless Information for the day, sponsored by MTV's Headbangers Ball.

The Trojans came away with three wins out of the possible four for a good showing in the first contests of the season.
The seventh-grade boys swept their two games with the visitors. The B team captured a close 17-14 victory over the young Warriors.
"Trey Alaniz was by far the player of the game," said coach Erik Peterson.
Alaniz finished with 11 points and exhibited great hustle, according to Peterson.
"He hustled everywhere he went and led our team to the win," the coach said.
The first game of the year did show some MMS weaknesses, however.
"We obviously have a lot of work to do. We were out-rebounded heavily and committed many turnovers," said Peterson.
"Overall though, the guys gave a great effort and held on for a win."
The seventh-grade A team had a little easier time as they posted a 26-19 win over the Warriors.
The tilt started out slowly with the Trojans and Warriors tied at 6-6 after one period. The Beeville defense shut down the Warriors in the second period and the Beeville boys took an 11-6 lead into the intermission. The lead dropped to four, 19-15, entering the final six minutes. The Trojans outscored the visitors 7-4 over the final minutes to secure the 26-19 victory.
"We played an all right game; I know it was our first one but I saw many things we need to improve on. We did though move the ball pretty well, had some fast break points, and a few jumpers," coach Ricky Maldonado said.
Cody Elliott led the Trojans with 13 points. Joshua Salazar followed with nine and Tanner Treviño finished the scoring with four points.
Coach Maldonado pointed out the defensive play of Ryan Longoria and Parker Roberson as also a big contributing factor in the win.
The eighth-grade B team lost its encounter with the Warriors, 30-20.
"The Trojans fought hard the whole night and never gave up. With this loss, we know what we need to work on as a team and must build as the season goes on," said coach Bobby Del Bosque.
The Trojans trailed only 13-11 at the half but could not keep up with the Warriors over the final two quarters.
Joseph Muñoz led the way for the MMS boys with eight points, four rebounds and three steals in the loss. Jacob Suniga followed with five points and Ronald Barefield also hit for five. Ashtin Gallegos picked up two points, two rebounds and two steals for the Trojans. Ruben De La Garza and Randy Beltran each pulled down seven rebounds on the night.
The A team topped the visitors, 36-24.
"The Trojans' win was marked with tough defense throughout the game. The post play was excellent as the Trojans cleaned the boards and put back six points on offensive rebounds," said coach Bryan Grams.
"The guards stepped up play by intercepting six passes with their suffocating defense."
Anthony Ruiz hit for nine points in the win. Cody Vasquez recorded seven markers as did Tristan Pelitire. Ryan Casarez followed with four points. Robert Benavides scored three while Bobby Quiroga and Mathew Rivas each contributed two. Jacob Flores had two assists and two steals while Angel Perez pulled down two rebounds and had one steal.
The MMS Trojans host Gregory-Portland on Thursday night. The first game tip-offs will be at 5 p.m.
