Bea's Beatitudes on herbs comes from a life long journey of a wish to create a desire in others that will lead to better understanding of safe and healthy food knowledge. Which will promote better land stewards, which will leave better resources for the next generation. This will create a cycle that will make a difference in the world forever.

Greening Your Garden~
Aren't all gardens green you might ask, and the answer is no, all gardens are not green, all gardens are not healthy.
Greening your garden is a process that can take one to 3 years, depending on how much and the types of chemical ingredients you have used over the last few years.
Do you know, when chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides are used in the garden it can take at least 3 years to rid the soil of the traces that are left.
As long as these chemical traces are in the soil, it is in the food you grow and eat or make available to others.
The more chemicals used, the more the soil is depleted, the more fertilizer it takes to promote growth and it becomes a cycle that doesn't give back anything good to the soil or to you.
If you wish to green your garden, start by cleaning up your soil, stop using any chemical based products and renew with compost and minerals that will put life back into your dirt.
Composting worms are a super additive to the gardens, along with frogs, toads, lizards, and other beneficial insects.
Mother nature has all the answers and provides everything we need to have and produce a green life, healthy foods, safe environments for our children, and for the wildlife that plays a major part in a green garden.
Happy Gardening...Green Gardening~

Slugs, Bugs, and other Thugs~
I'm getting Lot's of mail already about slugs...hopefully that isn't an indication of things to come for us gardeners.
Mulching plants over the winter has its good and bad side...the good, it keeps the roots and base of the plant warm and the soil moist enough to nourish the plants without watering.
The bad ...can sometimes attract moisture loving critters like slugs.
Now is the time to clear away all the mulch material and as a rule once you do this the slugs will find another home. I'm not bothered with slugs so I can't really say what is the best way to deal with them. Many say the trick of putting out beer trays will lure them into the trap and they will drown.
My suggestion for any pesky garden bug is " toads "...they are wonderful little insect eating machines and they follow up with a natural fertilizer besides.
Everyone in my part of the country has been bombarded with Lady Bugs this winter.
In case you don't already know, Lady Bugs are one of the good bugs...they love and can consume 100's of Aphids in a very short period of time. So while they may be a bit pesky flying all around your space, they are really cute and really helpful.
Earthworms in your soil/garden is a very good thing.
Mini composters at work and they haven't a bad trait at all.
Bees and wasp are starting to look for homes...please, please, don't kill a single bee or wasp. These are the natural pollinators, without them we would not have gardens for very long.
Spring is here and so are the bugs...some good, some bad...take time to learn the difference and your garden will flourish by the hands of nature.

Herb Gardens in Small Places~
Small spaces can bring a bounty of herbs and vegetables.
So...if you are thinking you don't have room to grow herbs or your own garden...think again...outside the box.
Most edible plants do very well in somewhat crowded surroundings.
In a small 4X8 raised bed you can have a tomato plant or two, a basil plant, a chive, a dill, a thyme and maybe even a sage or oregano plant.
The key is keeping the bed clean and free of weeds and training your plants to grow up and not out.
Tomatoes can be caged or made to grow up a heavy string trellis.
Basil and other herb plants have to be pinched back and trained to grow tall and not bushy.
Chives will spread from the root, so to keep them at a desired size just dig and divide the clumps two or three times during the growing season.
If you don't have extra yard space to transplant them to, use a large container such as #2 wash tub or any sturdy outside pot.
Chives make lovely little potted gifts for those times when just a little note of appreciation is welcomed.
This is the time to be working your compost, either making your own or just mixing the best of what you can find in garden centers.
A great mineral to add to your compost or garden soils is "Azomite" a natural product of volcanic ash. Check with your local agricultural office about where you can find this product in your area. It can be ordered from a company in Utah, but, unless you need a large amount is very expensive to purchase this way.
To a most successful year of gardening~

UN and UK defy US funding bans
Posted: 6 February 2006
In the face of a continuing funding ban by the US administration, because of its work in China, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) has approved its sixth programme of assistance to that country, totalling $27 million over five years. The move has the support of many European countries and has been followed today by the creation of a new fund, led by the United Kingdom, to provide safe abortion services to organisations in developing countries cut off from American funding because of the so-called 'Gag Rule'.
The UNFPA Executive Board and other United Nations countries praised UNFPA as a "force for good" that promotes and protects human rights, implicitly repudiating a claim that the Fund abets coercive practices.
Ten European countries that provide most of UNFPA's funding said that the agency's support to China has played "a crucial and catalytic role. ... It successfully demonstrates that a client-oriented quality of care approach to reproductive health and family planning is a viable alternative to a target-driven administrative system."
In a statement on their behalf by the United Kingdom, the countries declared: "unequivocally...in our view, UNFPA's activities in China, as in the rest of the world, are in strict conformity with the unanimously adopted Programme of Action of the ICPD [International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo in 1994), and play a key role in supporting our common endeavour, the promotion and protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms." The United Kingdom was also speaking for Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany. Many other countries also spoke on UNFPA programmes.
European support
The 10 European countries aligned themselves with the statement by South Africa on behalf of the Group of 77 - a coalition of 132 developing countries and territories - which also strongly endorsed UNFPA's work in China.
"In geographical areas where UNFPA is working, the client-centred service not only provided choices to many ordinary people, particularly women, but also improved the reproductive health situation in these areas," the Group of 77 stated. "The programme has contributed to the improvement of reproductive health and family planning services, strengthened the capacity of family planning workers and has enhanced the access of women to quality services and informed choices."
The Fund will continue to give priority in 2006-2010 to reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention, concentrating its assistance in 30 Chinese counties that have experimented with ways to improve services and give clients control over reproductive decisions. During the last country programme, China adopted national standards that incorporate approaches used in the UNFPA counties, including the removal of birth targets and quotas.
After UNFPA-supported counties lifted birth-spacing requirements, four provinces followed suit. Others are considering similar moves.
Independent assessment
UNFPA said that it will continue to strongly advocate for a rights-based approach and an end to coercion. It said that an independent assessment at the end of the fifth country programme (2003-2005) found that women in UNFPA-assisted counties had gained greater access to a variety of contraceptive methods and experienced a sharp drop in abortion rates.
"They also knew more about ways of preventing HIV transmission and recognised the danger signs of high-risk pregnancy. In project counties in poor, western China, hospital deliveries - a critical factor in ensuring safe motherhood -increased from 74 per cent to 91 per cent of all deliveries," it added.
UNFPA says the sixth country programme will also support the development of policies to address population ageing and gender-related concerns, including the imbalance in the country's sex ratio at birth.
At last week's first regular session for 2006, the 36-member UNDP/UNFPA Executive Board also approved new country programmes for Afghanistan, Albania, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Chad, Georgia, Ghana, Indonesia, Namibia, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Peru, Swaziland, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine and Vietnam.
New fund
In a separate development, the British government has publicly defied the United States by giving money for safe abortion services in developing countries to organisations that have been cut off from American funding because of the Global Gag Rule which does not allow any funding to organisations which have not renounced the provision of abortion services or advice, whether or not US funding is invoved.
The UK is the founder donor of a fund set up specifically to attempt to replace the funds lost by the US imposition of the Gag Rule and increase safe abortion services.
The Department for International Development (DfID) will contribute £3 million over two years. DFID and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), whose clinics across the world have suffered under the Global Gag Rule, hope that others, particularly the Scandinavians, Dutch and Canadians, will be emboldened to put money in too.
"I think the UK is being very brave and very progressive in making this commitment," said Steven W. Sinding, Director General of the IPPF. "We're deeply grateful for this gesture not only financially but also politically.
"Tens of thousands of women who depend on our services are not able to get them. We're committed to the expansion of safe abortion because in any society no matter how efficiently contraception is made available there will be unplanned and unwanted pregnancies."
Different view
International Development Minister, Gareth Thomas said the government hoped the US position would change:
"We work very closely with the Americans but we have a very different view from them on abortion . I recognise that the Americans are not going to want to contribute at the moment. We obviously continue to hope that the position will change. It is a position that has been decided by Congress so we're very aware of it and they know that."
In a report to DFID, IPPF reveals that an estimated 19 million women will risk the consequences of an unsafe abortion this year, of whom 70,000 will die. This accounts for 13 per cent of the 500,000 maternal deaths each year. Reducing unsafe abortions is critical to reaching the UN's Millennium Development Goal on cutting maternal mortality, said Thomas.
The death and injury toll is highest in countries where abortion is illegal or severely restricted, as in Kenya, where some 30 per cent to 50 per cent of maternal deaths are a result of unsafe abortion.

text: Kingdom Come: Deliverance dev explains the delay of the highly-anticipated update By Sillicur at Tuesday, March 06, 2018 3:27:00 PM I was enthralled by my trip to 15th century Bohemia as Henry, the son of a blacksmith, in Kingdom Come: Deliverance last month. Even though I loved the game, I noted in my review that there were quite a few issues, including bugs and two frustrating systems namely lockpicking and with regards to saving your game. The developer, Warhorse Studios, was hoping to release an update fixing all of this and more in the next two weeks but that was over two weeks ago. Sure, we got some small update to fix a game-breaking bug in the main quest some people were experiencing, but many of the issues still remained. Fans of the game aren't happy that the update isn't out yet (1.3 on PC and 1.4 on console), taking to Twitter, asking Daniel Vávra (co-founder of Warhorse), where the highly-anticipated update is and mentioning something about an off weekend he apparently took. Mr Vávra responded to fans on Twitter, stating that: "We are working on a patch as fast as we can. It takes few days to fix such a massive game and push it through console certification." He continues by explaining: "Guys, we are working on it. But you cant expect anyone to fix some very complicated issues within hours/days. And BTW this was my second free weekend I had since November if anybody is offended that I had too much free time..." - Source I, for one, think that the game is not only playable but certainly a great experience. Yes, there are bugs and yes, the developer is working on it. Remember that most of us don't know what actually goes into game development and just how long certain things take to fix. Whatever the case may be, it looks like the update should release next week sometime and even if it gets delayed again, I suggest picking up the game or if you have already, delay that journey to 15th century Bohemia until the update gets released. Are you waiting for the big update before playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance and what do you think about the developer's explanation for the update being delayed? Let us know in the comment section below. Source: Twitter Sillicur Twitter / MWEB GameZone Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube

W J Keigley
Posted By: County Coordinator
Date: 3/10/2009 at 13:12:57
W J Keigley, is now living a retired life in Madrid, but for a number of years was classed among the successful business men of Boone county. For fourteen years he engaged in merchandising here and prior to that time was a representative of the agricultural interest of the state and county Pennsylvania is the state of his nativity, his birth having occurred in Greene county upon a farm, June 12, 1824. His father, John Keigley, was also a native of that state, his birth having occurred near Cumberland, Maryland, but across the borders of Pennsylvania in 17989. After arriving at mans estate he wedded Rachel Anderson, also a native of Pennsylvania. He devoted his attention to farming in Greene county for many years an there four sons and three daughters were born unto himself and wife. In the year 1852 he sought a home in Iowa, locating at Belle Point, Boone county, He improved a far and throughout his remaining days was interested in agricultural pursuits here. His death occurred about 1856 and the community thereby lost a valued and representative citizen, a man who, in all lifes relations was true to duty, although there were no exciting chapters in his history. His wife survived him about nine years and was then laid to rest by his side , in the Lutheran cemetery.
Mr Keigley of this review was reared to manhood in the county of his nativity. He had little opportunity to attend school for his services were needed upon the home farm, but as the years have passed he has gained practical knowledge and moreover he has developed a character of sterling worth. He remained with his father until this twenty-fourth years, when he was married in Greene county, Pennsylvania, on February 29, 1848, to Miss Elizabeth Throckmorton. Her father was as native of New Jersey and represented and early family of that state, of English ancestry. Mrs Keigley was born November 27, 1824, in Greene county, Pennsylvania, and is about four months younger that her husband.
After their marriage the young couple began their domestic life upon the old Keigley homesteading Pennsylvania, where they remained for four years, afterward spending one year upon the Throckmorton farm. I the sprig of 1854, however, they resolved to test he truth of the favorable reports which they had heard concerning Iowa in the year they traveled across country to Boone county, where they arrived on April 12th. Mr Keigely purchased a farm, of which only ten acres had been broken. Few improvements had been made, a small amount of fence had been built but he greater part of the tract was unfenced. He built a cabin and for four years lived in it in pioneer style, enduring many of the trials and hardships of frontier life, at the same time enjoying many of its pleasures. At the end of that period, however, the little cabin and all its contents were destroyed by fire. In order to provide a home for his family. Mr Keigley at once rebuilt, erecting a good frame house, He first owned 80 acres of land and afterward he added to this as his financial resources made additional purchases possible, becoming the owner of about 500 acres of rich land of which 260 acres lay in the home farm. The years witnessed the addition of many improvements to the place. He remodeled and improved the house, built a good barn, planted fruit and shade trees and in the course of time gathered good crops from his orchard as well as from his fields. For thirty-two years he carried on agricultural pursuits, and then put aside the labors of the farm, removing to Madrid on 1886. Here he turned his attention to merchandising and for fourteen years successfully conducted a general store. Many men who have been identified with agricultural pursuits, cannot retire and turn their attention to commercial interests, but Mr Keigley displayed excellent business and executive ability, meeting with prosperity in his new undertaking. After fourteen years had passed he sold his store to his son and has since lived retired. He is now in the evening of life and well merits rest from active labor. His efforts have been of benefit to the town along the lines of substantial improvement and progress. He now owns a brick business block here which was erected by his two sons and he also has a very pleasant residence. Mr Keigley began life in Boone count a very poor man, having scarcely any capital, but through the assistance of his estimable wife and as a result of his capable management and unremitting diligence he has steadily advanced until today he is accounted one of the men of affluence in this portion of the state.
Unto Mr and Mrs Keigley have been born seven children: John Warren, who is married an owns a rice plantation at Crowley, Louisiana, T H, who is married and resides upon a farm in Colfax township, Boone county, Lionel f, who is engaged in merchandising in Madrid, Robert M, who is a partner of his brother Lionel F, Emma, the wife of Andrew Sutherland, of Madrid, and Wilbur, who is married and resides in Madrid.
Politically Mr Keigley is a Democrat, whose allegiance to the party has never wavered through all the years of his manhood. He has served as a member of the county board of supervisors, as a member of the town council and as a delegate to various county and state conventions, but has to no extent sought public office as a reward for party fealty, his business interests having made heavy demands upon his time, neither did he care for eth excitement of the political arena. Both he and his wife belong to eh Methodist Episcopal church of Madrid and enjoy an unusual degree of the esteem and respect of all with who they have been brought in contact. Few indeed of the settlers of Boone county have so long resided in this portion of the state as Mr Keigley, whose residence here covers more that forty-eight years. He truly deserves representation among the honored pioneers who have laid the foundation for the present prosperity and up building of the count as not only did he take part in the beginning of business here, but through many years was an active factor in industrial circles leading to substantial improvement.

What Problem are we looking to help solve?
For anyone that walks the streets of Portland, Oregon, which is our local stomping ground, it is hard not to notice the high number of homeless people living in alleyways, sidewalks, under overpasses, in the parks, along bike paths, and countless other nooks and crannies throughout the city. Homelessness in PDX is a big problem and we realize our tiny little start-up can only make a small impact on this large issue, but perhaps a lot of small gestures can help lead to great results.
It is our belief that tiny homes are an economical solution for low income housing, but we also realize the homeless problem in PDX and across the US is a complex issue, with various view points and laws that limit its use today. Tiny Homes can also add to the problem, if implemented without regards to local laws, property rights and citizens. To help, we pledge to be part of the discussions to reduce homelessness in our city, and donate 5% of the profit of each sale to a homeless organization of the buyers choice.
OUR BUSINESS is to offer and educate tiny house enthusiasts on the many options for living tiny. Today, if you want to buy a tiny home, you visit countless websites from various manufacturer's to understand your options, as there are thousands of designs, materials, and opinions to choose from, which can get overwhelming and confusing. We are working to build a database of tiny homes for sale to be launched on October 1, 2018.

How to make your own travel portal
Published: 31st March 2010
Views: N/A
The ongoing cut edge competitions among various businesses are proving beneficial to the user's world wide by not only giving them options to choose but also suiting their prerequisite. Recreation plays an important part in each ones life and so people usually take a break from their busy schedules and visit new and attractive places. In view of the fact that many alternatives are near, most of the travel agencies are under a fix on
how to make their own travel portal
which will not only be different from others but will also fetch them some business by attracting people to choose them only.
How to make your own travel portal to fetch business and attract more travelers
1) Travel portal itself is a kind of website that provides information about that travel agency or company in an attractive and simplified way. While creating own travel portal online travel agents have lot of misconceptions and confusions. So some of the various techniques that are usually recommended by the experts and other professionals may help them work better in knowing
how to make their own travel portal.
2) It is advisable to design a travel portal which is striking as a non attractive one will not impress the user. To do this, it is required to make the front page attractive with a few pictures of the various destinations that travel agent is dealing with. Do not make it over crowded with images it will not give the right information as well as it will increase the site opening time and users may get irritated.
3) The travel portal front page should try to provide the index of all contents that would be found on other pages of that website. This will help in simplifying the work of traveler as he or she will get to the right linked page.
4) It is suggested to provide the information of all the destinations in short. Their travel portal must be informative enough about the destination they are looking for. They can provide brief information about that location, climate, best time to visit, food and other stuff relevant to that place. The best option to attract people is to tell what the attractions of that place are and how they can visit them.
5) A travel portal is incomplete if it does not provide its users the information about the discounts and deals. Similarly providing them with few options after reaching their destination usually helps. This helps the user to be little liberated as apart from receiving their accommodation booked from that agent they can even opt for various travel guides that may help them there. This will fetch the travel agency some extra money as well as reputation.
6) Travel portal providing information about safety and precautions are to be followed and how their own company provides security can create a faith among users. This will fetch a lot of business as traveling is not fun if there is no safety of life.
7) Interlink from a page to another helps a lot.
8) Posting the various feedbacks and testimonials of their rejoiced customers will attract lot of users as it will be a kind of recommendation of their website.
So it is sensible to make a travel portal which is not only pretty having pictures and other material but can also be tempting so that people can come to their agency.

So many are struggling and suffering these days and Archangel Faith came through Joy Pedersen to share this advice on Sunday, July 10, 2016:
Dear Ones,
There's no reason to struggle anymore.
All answers to all problems lie within. All you need to do is go within. Be there now. Go within now. Ask your questions there now. All you need to know is within. Once you go in to find those answers, follow the guidance that you receive in that moment. If you aren't guided, do nothing and wait for the inspiration to hit you, the message to come through, and the answers you seek to be revealed.
So often you look outside of yourself going this place and that, asking others all for what lies within. When you go within, you connect to the source, the all knowing, and access all the rest. All success comes to you from within first. All answers come to you from within first.
Someone else may be guided to share the information you seek as the divinity within you is within all. So if all of a sudden you are inspired to speak your question to another, that person may give you the answer that you seek. But the difference is you go within first. When you operate from your head and then just look outside of yourself to whomever maybe there and ask and seek, you may not be given the truth because they are then looking at their own intellect giving you the answer.
So go within first and allow the answer to come to as it may, as it appropriate and in the timing it is appropriate. But if you can build that muscle and look within and learn to listen, listen to the nuances, the feelings, the inspirations and have the courage to follow what you receive, you will be divinely guided in every moment to what is purposeful, what is for the highest and best good of you and all. But, when you operate from the intellect, you're operating from the past. And, what may have occurred in the past may or may not have been purposeful. It may have not been for your highest and best good but that's all you have to rely on if that's all you know.
When you tap into the all knowing, however, there is no misguidance. It is for your highest good and it is for the highest good of all.
Archangel Faith

Encounters between humans and apex predators such as wolves and wildcats are reportedly increasing as animals' numbers and the area of their territories increase.
The status of wolves and wildcats in Wisconsin will be the topic of the Friends of the Black River's April meeting. The meeting will be held beginning at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 12, in the Jackson County Bank community room. The public is encouraged to attend the free program.
Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist Scott Roepke will present the program and intends to cover general ecology, distribution and presence of wolves, bobcats and cougars in the state.
"We'll take both a local and statewide look at each species," said Roepke.
Wisconsin is one of about a dozen states where timber wolves live in the wild. Also known as gray wolves, timber wolves are the largest wild members of the dog family. Wolves are social animals, generally living in packs. A pack's territory can extend between 20 to 120 square miles; although, there are incidents of individual animals going off on their own to find new territory.
The DNR has been monitoring the growing population in the state; there are an estimated 800 individuals now calling Wisconsin home. In pre-European settlement times in the 1830s, the number of wolves roaming the state is thought to have been between 3,000 and 5,000 animals. However by 1900, timber wolves were nonexistent in the southern two-thirds of the state.
Over the past decades, however, wolf numbers have been increasing with packs calling Jackson County home. Because of their increased numbers, wolves were federally delisted as an endangered species in January 2012, but were relisted two years later.
Cougars, also known as pumas, mountain lion, panther and catamounts, are the largest wildcat species in North America existing north of Mexico. One of three wild cat species native to Wisconsin, along with the bobcat and Canada lynx, cougars once roamed throughout the state.
Generally, the large cats avoid humans. However, there has been an increase in reported sightings in recent years.
Bobcats are more prevalent and have, at times, been mistaken for cougars. Bobcats weigh about 20 pounds and have large ears sporting short pointed tufts of hair at the ends. In 1970, hunting bobcats was prohibited in the state. After a 20-year hiatus, the DNR removed the protections and set up hunting and trapping seasons for the animals.
Bobcats have also been mistakenly identified as lynxes, but Canada lynxes are now very rare in Wisconsin. Lynx were once trapped for their fur, and with the over-harvesting of the northern forests, the lynx population declined to the point biologists do not think there are any breeding animals in the state.
Roepke's presentation is part of FBR's ongoing mission to bring educational programs about the Black River, its watershed and environmental and conservation issues to the community.
For more information about the program and FBR, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I got busy, and I'm sorry. For the first two weeks of April, most of my time was spent thinking about how to eat the lasagna left over from Easter. I used the Fine Cooking recipe, but I'm pretty sure you need a membership of some kind to access it so I'm not going to provide a link even though that's probably the polite thing to do. Oh fine you can find the recipe here. It's supposed to make three small lasagnas, but I only had one deep dish on hand, so I halved the recipe and made half a lasagna on top of the lasagna. The recipe assures that the pre-cooked lasagna can rise above the edge of the pan, because it settles quite a bit while cooking. I was apprehensive, but they have a picture with two whole noodle layers towering over the edge.
But no. It still bubbled over, and it was still the tallest, deepest, heaviest lasagna.
Other ways I altered the recipe: well... I used hot Italian sausage instead of mild. I also didn't have much spice on hand, but the seasoning from the sausages permeated through the lasagna very nicely. I just love the word lasagna, don't you? Lasagna, lasagna, lasagna.
And: there was some packing up and moving back to Ontario to do. Some things to leave behind. Like my lovely little coffee plant, and a pennant from the magazine project (I was going to bring it with me until the E fell off, and then I figured by the time I got home it would probably just be a brown triangle. i.e. clutter).
And books! Most had to be left behind for weight considerations. I feel like there's a pro-Ebook argument to made here, but I wouldn't have been sentimental about these books in the first place if they'd been electronic. Aww, remember that one on the right? That's the book with nothing in it that I was so excited about. I feel guilty about every one of these books. Except maybe for the Editing Canadian English, which I have only used a) to ventilate my old laptop and keep it from overheating and b) as part of my Mennonite halloween costume because it looks the most like a bible out of all my books.
Fortunately, I sent a couple of things on ahead, like this Super Mutant Magic Academy poster that I just had to have.
In other news, I'm enjoying my mom's house (and company!) so much that I've decided to commute to Toronto for my internship. Or at least give it a try. If it drives me insane I'll find a place to live, but with the way I feel right now I really wouldn't mind having a few hours every day to sit and read or write or think or sleep or whatever. I was brought up on road trips, and 401 traffic has an oddly calming effect on me, as long as I'm not driving (but even then). Without homework to stay behind or rush home for, it feels like there are six more hours in the day.
The only problem now is GETTING the internship. What happened and why don't I have one yet? Oh I don't feel like getting into that. Just wish me luck.

39 weeks and 3 days
Aug 26, 2010 Family life
I have reached this milestone in my pregnancy: that is how long I was pregnant with my son. Now I was really hoping this baby would be out faster than that, so I'm starting to think he/she is taking their sweet time. Is it that comfy inside that he doesn't want to come out? Today we told our son that he should talk the baby into coming out already, so he's been talking to my belly saying "Come out, baby!" It's really cute, but still not working.
The big thing now is that Zak and our son have tickets to go see a really cool show on Saturday morning. We bought only two tickets thinking that chances were I wouldn't be in any shape to go, whether because I'd be 40 weeks pregnant or because we'd have a newborn. But what would suck is if the baby decided to come that same day. Because then Zak couldn't go, and I'm not sure if we would find someone to take our boy. It would be a lot of money wasted if we cannot go. But there's still hope. There's time for the baby to be born tonight or tomorrow. Or he can stay inside until Saturday afternoon. But I vote for tomorrow. I'm ready.

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has told the United States that Afghanistan was not helping peace efforts by ignoring frequent cross-border attacks on Pakistani military check-posts, sources said.
Senior officials at the Foreign Ministry told The Nation that Washington was being regularly briefed on the unending cross-border strikes, which were detrimental to the peace efforts.
"[The] US has been told that while Pakistan was supporting global efforts for peace in Afghanistan, the other side [Kabul] is showing little interest in stopping the terrorists who are continuously targeting Pakistani check-posts. This is not helpful at all," a foreign ministry official said.
In the past weeks, Pakistan summoned Afghan diplomats and also contacted the Afghan government to register protest against Afghanistan-based terrorists' attacks.
Although the Pakistan forces killed many of the attackers, there were causalities on the Pakistani side as well.
Islamabad has been urging Afghanistan to act seriously against the terrorists hiding on its soil to support the peace efforts and defuse tension.
However, Kabul has been reluctant to respond positively.
Last week, Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan was committed to peace and stability in Afghanistan, stressing that a peaceful, stable and prosperous Afghanistan was in Pakistan's interest.
He emphasised the need of comprehensive bilateral engagement between the two countries to strengthen trust and confidence.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said that Pakistan desired Afghan-led peace in the neighbouring country.
"We also expect them to work for peace and help our efforts," he said.
Zakaria said that Pakistan had protested against the cross-border attacks but there had been no effective control by Kabul.
Another foreign ministry official said that Washington had been pressing Pakistan and Afghanistan for peace talks but Kabul's silence on cross-border terror had put Pakistan in a difficult position.
"We have told the US that we want peace talks and support all global efforts for peace in Afghanistan. However, Afghanistan should back our efforts instead of playing in the hands of anti-Pakistan elements. They should not test our patience," he added.
The official said that the US had promised to use its influence in Kabul to stop the Afghanistan-based terrorists from targeting Pakistan.
"They [the US] understand this will not be helpful. If the cross-border terror continues, peace talks can't be successful," the official said, citing contacts with Washington.
Over the weekend, new Pakistan Ambassador to the US Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry said that Pakistan wanted to improve ties with the US.
"I will work to strengthen friendship with the US. We have a long history of bilateral ties," he added.
Former ambassador Mushtaq Mehar said that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani was playing in the hands of anti-Pakistan elements.
He said that the Indian intelligence agencies were supporting the Afghanistan-based terrorists to carry attacks inside Pakistan.
"Afghanistan is not showing sincerity in stopping these terrorists. Afghanistan is neither accepting refugees [who have been living in Pakistan for decades] nor it is happy with border fencing. There has to be a solution," Mehar said.
He said that around 30 per cent of the Afghanistan was under Taliban control.
"Afghanistan direly needs Pakistan's support but is not ready to improve ties which is strange," Mehar added.
International affairs expert A Z Hilali said that Afghanistan had turned a deaf ear to Pakistan's calls for joint war against terrorism.
"For almost a decade. We have been telling them, we both have to work together to defeat them. They don't seem ready to listen," he said.
Hilali said Pakistan was a major victim of terrorism since 2001 and had offered massive sacrifices in the war on terror.
"Over the years, Pakistan has offered military, political and moral support to Afghanistan against terrorism. They should acknowledge our dedication for the cause of regional and global peace," he maintained.

Finding something new in Moravia
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we here at blinkingewoks.com travel. To bring you delightful, and delightfully weird, things from around the world. We are proud to present to you a few things in Štramberk, a tiny city in eastern Czech Republic. Historically, this area was known as Moravia (the western part of Czech lands were known as Bohemia). Actually, the phrase "was known" is a bit misleading in the eastern part of the Republic, since while no one in the former Bohemia continues to refer to it by that name, Moravians will still claim the title when it suits them (and this is often, apparently). Moravians are, in general, poorer, more boisterous, more quick to smile, laugh, and quarrel than their reserved western cousins, making them effectively the Irish of central Europe. I loved them immediately.
We arrived in Štramberk just looking for lunch and had a succession of surprises. First, this teeny hamlet of a few thousand people had a superb pizza joint. The German-speaking waitress was visibly relieved when she found my caveman Deutsch sufficient for communication. It's not a small world after all, I suppose. Stepping out, we lucked into Štramberk's heritage day festival, when the town square was full of locals, watching other locals sing, dance, and goof about in costume. Several vendors also set up shop in the square selling all sorts of stuff I'd never seen before and couldn't figure out. Oh, and sausage. I know my sausage; I've been around the block a few times.
At the fair, we discovered a specialty virtually exclusive to Štramberk: the Štramberské uši, or "Stramberk Ears". This is a baked treat, a kind of cinnamon and clove flavored flat cookie, rolled up into a rough approximation of an ear shape. Local legend has it the townspeople started baking them after an incident in the year 1241, when marauding Tatars sacked their city. Some clever townspeople lured the invaders to a particular spot underneath a dam, then broke the dam, flooding out the Tatars and saving the city. Since the Tatars were known for cutting off the ears of their victims to send back to the Khan as tribute, the locals started shaping their flatbreads into ear-like shapes in a nice (and tasty) fuck-you to their would-be conquerers. Score another point for Štramberk.
Next, we discovered another culinary delight, only not quite as local–this is particular to the whole of the Czech Republic, though we'd never heard of it before. Maybe that's because, by law, you can only sell it between August and November. It's Burčák, (BOOR-chack) basically a very immature wine. It looks and tastes like fruit juice, though it's generally as alcoholic as beer. Indeed we thought it was fruit juice, and downed a cup or two. When we started feeling ever-so-slightly breezy we thought to google the name of the stuff, and, much to our delight, the top hits in the search results were "Beware of the Burčák" and "The Most Dangerous Beverage in Prague". We did our (belated) research, realized we were quaffing central European hillbilly hooch, and immediately went back to the booth and purchased a full liter. For research purposes, of course. We're dedicated to bringing you the truth, no matter the cost.
Our research well underway, we repaired to some benches to watch the entertainments. The local medieval guild paraded around in fine costume, then some adorable preteens (no, seriously) did a fairly complicated jump-rope routine, and then, the most sublime act of all: A Czech bluegrass band took the stage, layin' down that old-time high lonesome sound. In Czech.
Afterward, I went up to meet the boys. Only one, the fiddler, spoke any English at all, but he was really happy to find that an honset-to-gawd A-murikan had seen, and liked, his act. We shook hands and left as friends.
All in all, pound-for-pound, this blink-and-you'll-miss-it speck on the map turned out to be one of the best travel days we've had in a long, long time. We need to spend more time here, but for now we're off to Poland, and more terra incognita. Happy travels!

VenGrowth Special Committee Appoints Financial and Legal Advisors
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Feb. 11, 2011) – As announced in early January 2011, a Special Committee comprised of independent Board members of the VenGrowth Funds was created to conduct an orderly process to review and evaluate strategic options to improve shareholder value and shareholder liquidity. The Special Committee announced today that it has retained Crosbie & Company as its independent financial advisor.
The Special Committee reviewed proposals from seven financial advisors, of which they short-listed and interviewed four. Crosbie & Company was selected based on their extensive experience and credentials advising Boards on strategic options and executing transactions. Crosbie & Company is a specialty investment banking firm, who over their 25-year history have advised on hundreds of successful M&A, financing and fairness opinion assignments. They are well versed in providing strategic, valuation and transaction related advice to shareholder groups and public company Boards of Directors. In addition, Crosbie has acted as a portfolio manager, owner and advisor to the venture capital and investment fund sector, which included labour sponsored fund experience.
The Special Committee has also retained McMillan LLP as independent legal counsel to assist in the evaluation of proposals, due diligence and negotiations.
The Special Committee and Financial Advisor are working on evaluating alternatives designed to enhance shareholder value, provide liquidity options for shareholders, improve the ability to provide follow-on funding to portfolio companies and lower management expense ratios.
Should a transaction be considered the best course, then interested parties will be asked to provide a proposal and to execute a mutual confidentiality agreement. It is a detailed undertaking to evaluate all of the factors that can impact long-term shareholder value. There are many factors to consider, particularly if a transaction contemplates a merger with other labour sponsored investment funds, such as:
— the liquidity of the merger partner;
The Special Committee is confident that through open and fair competition, within which all alternatives are subject to a comprehensive and objective review, the best outcome for shareholders will be achieved.

Sun last week boosted the performance and computing power ofits midrange and high-end servers, and announced thatprocessors of different speeds could reside in the same server.
The company put 1.05-GHz UltraSPARC III Cu (copper) processorsin its midrange Sun Fire 3800, 4899 and 6800 servers and itshigh-end 12K and 15K servers, which give it a 15% increase inperformance, according to company claims. Sun's midrangecomputers are aimed at technical computing environments. TheUltraSPARC III presently runs at 900 MHz.
Sun also announced it is the first vendor to allow processorsof different speeds to operate within a server. The companyclaims that allowing this feature saves customers money becauseit lets them upgrade to faster processors on a processor-by-processor, rather than full-server, basis.
"Typically our customers buy their servers to have some kind ofgrowth in them," a Sun spokesman says. "If they wanted toupgrade to faster CPUs, in the past they had to get rid of allthe older ones. Somebody who has a respectable 900-MHz CPU canadd the new boards into the system and migrate slowly."
This feature is also useful because users can upgrade to fasterprocessors without taking the server down and losingoperational efficiency.
The company's midrange servers use a Uniboard CPU/memory boardthat allows customers to allocate resources by processor asneeded. Each Uniboard contains four processors.
Sun claims that one of the servers that uses the 1.05-GHzprocessor, the Sun Fire 15K, performed the best on the TPC-Hbenchmark in tests of databases 3,000G bytes in size. The SunFire 15K performed at 23,813 queries per hour.
The Sun Fire 3800, the smallest of Sun's midrange or mid-frameproducts, can be partitioned into two system domains that canbe reconfigured on the fly and has up to eight processors. Thelargest mid-frame product, the 15K, has up to 106 processors.
Sun Fire servers feature hardware redundancy, dynamic systemdomains and reconfiguration, as well as hot CPU upgrades. Theyrun the Solaris operating system.
A 700-MHz Sun Fire 6800 with 16 processors and 64G bytes ofmemory costs $709,000; the same server with the 1.05-GHzprocessor costs $869,000.

Standing or Sitting? The Art to Reading Television Poses
Film and TV are sometimes dismissed as brainless activities. But, we're here to argue that there's more to watching than just consuming. Let's talk about 'reading' the TV screen. Particularly, what does it mean when an actor or speaker is sitting down vs. standing up?
A standing person is more accessible.
Think about the camera as if it's your eye. You are looking at what the director tells you to look at. He is directing your 'eye'. So, when you are eye-level with the actor, as it is in most commercials, the director is trying to make the audience feel at ease with the actor. Think about it, when a woman is standing in a kitchen for a commercial, and she looks directly into the camera to sell you a smoothie machine, her eyes are generally at the same level of the camera. It looks just the same as when we have a conversation with someone standing up. It is a tried and true method of making the audience trust the speaker and increasing product sales. Which is why most kitchen commercials tend to look exactly alike.
Then, what about when the actor sits down?
This can be used multiple ways. And the different options for this shot make it a favorite here at Diemer Group. If the camera is at eye-level with the actors, then it brings an even comfier feeling to the shoot. Just recently, Diemer Group used this approach to explain their video marketing [put a link to the video here]. It feels as though the actors or speakers have invited you into a personal meeting, or into their living room! Throw around a football, discuss marketing, make a friend. General audiences also watch TV and videos sitting down, so it gives the feeling that the audience and speakers are sitting together.
But, this can also be used to create uneasiness with the audience. Think about that all-time classic The Godfather. In the famous opening scene, the Godfather is sitting down, but we don't feel as though he's approachable. What's different about that shoot? The camera. The camera is raised, not eye-level, and is looking down on the Godfather. We have not been invited to sit with him. Instead, we are like his minions surrounding him, not resting.
So, whether you want to impress your future customers with your Godfather-like powers or your relatable business plans, contact Diemer Group to discuss your future video promo. We will see to it that your video marketing represents you just as you want to be represented.

Space Industry Bill flies through parliament paving way to commercial space flights
Image credit: Diomedia
Government plans to enable the UK to become part of the burgeoning private space travel industry have cleared a parliamentary milestone.
The Space Industry Bill, which aims to create a regulatory framework to allow commercial spaceflight activities to be carried out from UK launch sites, received its third reading in the House of Lords.
The legislation is central to the government's stated ambition of Britain becoming a "leading player" in the expanding industry and increasing its share of the global market from 6.5 per cent today to 10 per cent by 2030.
Speaking at third reading, Transport Minister Baroness Sugg hailed the UK space industry as a "British success story".
She said the Bill, which now goes to the House of Commons for further consideration, would enable new satellite launch services and low gravity spaceflight from the UK.
"Today we stand one step closer to a commercial space age," she added.
It is hoped spaceflights will generate new business opportunities for technology and tourism in remote areas of the UK.
Among the aerodromes vying to become the UK's first space port is Glasgow Prestwick.
The bid has the support of Tory former Scottish secretary Lord Lang of Monkton, who told the government there was "a strong case for the triggering of a huge economic potential payback" by locating the space port in what was one of the most deprived areas of Scotland.
Last year, Virgin Galactic's latest spaceship VSS Unity completed its first free-glide flight, a major step towards the company's space tourism plans, which suffered a major setback in 2014 when the first version of the vessel crashed killing a co-pilot.
In September Elon Musk's SpaceX announced plans to miniaturise his company's rocket ship in order to lower costs and give it next-generation capabilities that could be used to travel to the Moon, Mars or around the Earth.

I applied for a job in Australia, thinking I wouldn't get it. I got a call back for an interview.
I went through a rainbow of emotions leading up to the interview. Fear, excitement, terror, joy. You name it, I had it. Finally, when the time came for the interview, I calmed but was still nervous. I forgot a few terms here and there, but overall I felt I had done well. I was told I would be contacted early in the week about their decision. I started to research into what it would be to move out there for 5 months. Talked to S about the logistics of everything. I went fully into it. I didn't want to go into this idea too blindly.
Finally, the time came.Early in the week. Monday for them came and went, a friend heard back saying they were interested. On my end? Nothing. Ok. Ok, calm down. Maybe tomorrow. Tuesday came. Tuesday went. I heard nothing from them. But my last company contacted me wanting to know if I was interested. I held off and sent the Austrailian place an email to try and get an answer.
Finally today. They got back to me with a no. The same no I always get " you need more experience." It an exhausting thing to hear over and over. As this industry changes, it feels its demands are only for senior level artists. But the thing is, they are burning out or want to move along and do something else. Meanwhile, those of us that work so hard to try and get the experience to be considered will never gain that experience that is oh so needed. I have been in different positions for coming up to 4 years. And yet, I am still a junior. Over and over I am a junior. I see other people move on, but me, the one helping and teaching is still a junior. Am I doomed to sit still and watch others move ahead?

Grasshopper Handmade Google+ Page
I've started a Google+ page for Grasshopper Handmade since I thought it was probably a good idea to have a Google+ page as well as the Facebook page. (I have a personal profile on Google+ as well, but I don't really use it since most everyone I know is on Facebook.) I added the ability to +1 my posts here a while back with a widget that also includes sharing on Facebook, Twitter, a blog and email. For right now I imagine I'll mostly be posting the same things there as I do to Facebook although I may change that in the future. I do like Google+, though and it is quite easy to use when I remember that it isn't Facebook. So feel free to add me to your circles and start +1ing away.

Secret Toy Pattern
Spent a while the other night winding Cascade 220 for a new crochet toy pattern I'm working on. (I'm keeping what the toy is a secret for now, I think.) I know I often talk about things I'm going to write up as patterns and then never get around to it, but this time I actually have the pattern written already. I'm going to use this yarn to try it one more time and then I will be getting some test crocheters to test it for me. I also have another toy pattern in the works so hopefully soon I will finally be branching out into pattern sales. I have so many ideas written down or partially made--I hope I can make the leap.

New (ish) Colorways
|Big Brother
|Shiny New Australia
I'm not even sure newish is appropriate since one of these has been around for probably close to a year and the other was available at all of my winter craft shows. (But not in my Etsy shop until now.) But since I haven't mentioned them here, I'm calling it newish. Shiny New Australia may be my new favorite colorway--plus I love the name. (Bonus points if you recognize where it came from!)

A word about the current P:64
standards. The original proposal which was 3/16" AAR proved unworkable
for US prototypes in small scales.
Enter The NMRA Proto Effort. This effort started with 1/4"AAR and worked till that became P:48. The current Standards use an engineering allowance called FIT with any scale less than 1:56. As demonstrated by our original proposal we do not believe this necessary above 00 scale (1:72). Therefore; We had asked that the spread sheet be modified to reflect this, the result proved not worth the effort
The NASG
Recommended Practices are not truly Proto as they contain
compromises to accommodate RP25 wheels. That said they are achievable
with commercial components and using Code 88 wheels from either Des
Plains Hobbies or NWSL a semi-proto layout can be modeled.

Anyone have any opinions? They are my go to! I just found out I am expecting and don't want to change my eating habits too drastically. They really help while on the go with work all day!
My doc recommended staying away from what she calls 'fake food' while pregnant. Bars are usually very processed. Maybe try Kind bars which are mainly just nuts. Or eat more types of whole fresh foods. Way more healthy to eat whole foods and can be more satisfying!
Hi, I know what you mean about convenience! I drank Shakeology, a superfoods and protein drink I can mix up in a shaker cup and take anywhere. It's awesome! My email is email@example.com if you want to chat :) Tami
My doctor said that they are totally fine!! :-) I eat one almost everyday!
Quest bars are great! I eat those and Advocare bars on a regular basis!
I wondered the same thing. Quest bars are different from the "normal" protein bar in that they have very few ingredients, BUT, the thing that makes me hesitant is that it's really not "nutritious" per say, but does give a good amount of protein. I eat them every now and then after workouts but try not to make it a habit, as they wouldn't have the nutrients that real food would have.
I eat one everyday. They are filling and have lots of protein and fibre. It's definitely the snack I look forward to everyday :)
They're high in sodium so if watch out for that mostly...
I'm eating them!!! It's gotta be better then cupcakes, right?! :-)

The 1930's was a time for great change in Chester; we have found this out through the research that we are continuing to do with some of our time with Chester Voluntary Action. We have discovered that in the 1920's and 1930's the first council houses were built in Chester at Lache and Handbridge, many of these houses were needed to replace slums, which were demolished in the 1930's.
It was during the 1930's that a centre for boot repairing by the unemployed was launched in Northgate Congregational Church. It was also during this period that the Juvenile Committee was concerned about the conditions on the Lache housing estate, and feared that it would be as bad on the Blacon estate when it was eventually developed.
The 1930's was a time when summer camps where opened in the Chester and Cheshire area for the families of the unemployed, it was also the time that the Relief Committee was showing concern about the provision of artificial teeth for the poorest in the community. The CCoSW also organised a Jubilee Appeal in aid of British Legion Pensions Fund during this time.
A number of other things happening in the city of Chester during the 1930's including Chester Zoo opening in 1931. The image shows George Mottershead, who founded Chester Zoo.
During the 1930's Chester was regenerated into the city that we today including the building of St Werburgh Row in 1935 and the building of Newgate in 1938.
There were also a number of historical events during this time with the discovery of Pluto in 1930 leading to the now familiar solar system. Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in January 1933 and would lead the world into the Second World War after a series of events that would include the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia culminating in the invasion of Poland in September 1939 bringing about World War 2.
Another big event through this decade was the abdication of King Edward VIII so he could marry Wallis Simpson, this was the first voluntary abdication of a monarch since the Anglo-Saxon period. On the right you can see the former King and Wallis Simpson on their wedding day.

Cancer is a complex disease. Since being diagnosed with lymphoma, I have felt the tension between conventional and alternative approaches to its treatment and cure.
One thing I've noticed since being diagnosed with cancer is the animosity between conventional and alternative approaches to the disease. It can be quite contentious, no doubt because the stakes are so high. The lines are drawn: Western vs. Eastern; big business vs. folk culture; MDs vs. doctors of chiropractic, naturopathy and homeopathy; pharmaceuticals vs. herbs. Both sides in this civil war have their weaknesses and blind spots.
Conventional medicine is misguided when it treats the human body as a machine to be serviced by white-coated mechanics. We are complex creatures who are much more than the sum of our parts. With apologies to Renee Descartes, our minds do influence our bodies in profound ways. The medical establishment is also remiss in not focusing more on prevention as the first line of defense against disease and in not seeing nutrition as a vital part of treatment.
Alternative medicine is dangerous whenever it touts exotic cure-alls. There are no magic elixirs that can put everything right, even if they do come from a prehistoric valley in Utah (Dr. Wallach's colloidal minerals) or from Himalayan-grown amalaki (Zrii), or from the inner leaf of the Aloe Vera plant (Ambrotose). Proper diet is central to maintaining or restoring good health, but not every medical condition can be fixed orally.
Dr. Ralph Moss offers sage advice in his CancerDecisions.com newsletter:
"Cancer is a complex disease. It requires professional help. Regardless of the sometimes uncaring attitude of certain errant members of the medical profession, one should not reject everything that conventional medicine has to offer in favor of a regimen discovered on the Internet. The answer is not simply to construct a do-it-yourself program, but to find expert and sympathetic guidance in the rapidly expanding realm of complementary oncology."
I like the term "complimentary." It is built into the approach of the Memorial Cancer Center where I am a client. (I am not a patient, but more on that in another post.) They proclaim, "By integrating complimentary therapies with traditional medicine, we will take a holistic approach to cancer medicine that addresses patients' physical, emotional and spiritual needs."
A dose of humility is in order for professionals of every stripe. When it comes to medicine no one has all the answers; everyone is still practicing.

Alesius, Alexander
Alexander Alesius (əlē´shəs, əlĕs´), 1500–1565, Scottish Protestant theologian. As canon of the collegiate church at St. Andrews he tried to reclaim Patrick Hamilton from his Lutheran views but was himself persuaded to accept the reformed teachings. In 1532 he escaped to the Continent, where he gained the confidence of Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon and joined in signing the Augsburg Confession. He was commended to Henry VIII by them, and arriving in England in 1535, he enjoyed friendly association with Archbishop Cranmer, Thomas Cromwell, and others. He lectured on divinity at Cambridge and afterward practiced medicine in London. After Cromwell's fall in 1540, Alesius returned to Germany, where he was professor of theology, first at Frankfurt-an-der-Oder and later at Leipzig.

Most of us love to "pin" all these things we'd enjoy having in our home for holiday decorations, etc. I want to do them ALL, but without a job and full-time income, my resources are pretty severely limited right now. I have been using some of my boring days at home to contemplate how I can create these pretty things without too much money involved! ha
The girls love to be crafty, so I thought this year we would do a few new things for Halloween. Last year, we did the pumpkin milk jugs for the front porch. Not thinking clearly, we threw them away at the end of the season (because we have NO place for storage for "extra" things).
The first thing we did was paint our pumpkins. Eric decided he liked his pumpkin better as it was (I just don't think he felt like painting...ha), but the girls and I got into the festive Halloween mood!
Jordan was kinda disappointed about not carving her pumpkin, so as a trade off for painting, we let her carve a watermelon. I know, I know. Bizarre! However, we have a huge pile of watermelons sitting back by the garden and we're all kinda burnt out on watermelons. :p With the upcoming frosty days, I doubt her watermelon jack o' lantern will last long, but at least she had fun doing it!
And to finish it off, we used black contractor trash bags to create spider webs for the doors. The girls loved it, but didn't really have a good concept of how to cut the bags properly despite lots of coaching from me (can you believe they've never made snowflakes from paper?!? I thought all elementary schools did that!). We put them up regardless of their success and the girls liked how they turned out. I did one to show them and hung it on the mirror.
Here are my pins that we got the inspiration/directions from if you choose to do it in your home! You can follow me at emenchho1.
