His snorting exhalations held blowing my method and he had the worst air. I became quite grossed aside. (I would personally have-been best off sitting alongside him than in front of him). I remember being therefore grateful for little tissue We put up my sleeve which I had dowsed among my personal favorite acrylic combinations (RC).
I had that structure under my nostrils the complete journey. Once we travel we cannot manage types or prevent our environments, but we can adjust ourselves. We can also prepare to truly have the optimal knowledge because of the conditions. (oh gosh ~ i recently remembered this various other flight where I sat correct beside the bathroom…the terrible scent originated from the disinfecting chemical substances that were made use of – yuck! there also I used my oils – on me!)

Well, you know what.......maybe you could educate US on how to achieve a good fit.
Back when I taught on the Keiser *folding tray table* bikes, I always wished for a fore-and-aft adjustment for the handlebars. That would've made all the difference in the World.
My goniometer and plumb line would've gotten a workout.......and that's for sure.

The G20Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting was held in Washington from April 20 to 21. The issues discussed on the meeting included the current global economic situation and growth framework, the global financial architecture and international financial governance, the initiative of investment in Africa, and financial department development and supervision. Chinese delegation led by Xiao Jie, minister of Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China, and Zhou Xiaochuan, president of the People's Bank of China, attended the meeting.
Xiao said, since 2017, the positive factors in China's economic development continue to increase. China's GDP increased 6.9% in the first quarter of 2017 compared with the corresponding period of 2016. Supply-side structural reform is further advanced, and the policy of "cutting overcapacity, destocking, deleveraging, reducing corporate costs and shoring up weak spots" makes rapid progress. The new growth drivers of economic development continue to strengthen, and new forms of business and new models grow rapidly. China has confidence to achieve the expected goal of economic growth around 6.5% in 2017, which will make greater contributions to global economic growth.
Xiao pointed out, the recent global economic recovery remains constructive and market sentiment tends to be optimistic, but we are still confronted with plenty of risks and uncertainty, especially the unclear economic policies in some developed countries. The G20 countries should strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination, continue to implement the important achievements of G20 Hangzhou Summit, and continue to deepen structural reform to actively promote the open world economic development and further consolidate the momentum of economic recovery.
Xiao said, as an important achievement of 2017 G20 financial agenda, G20 proposes to promote investment in Africa and has made positive progress, which gains China's appreciation. This proposal emphasizes African countries dominant principle, fully respects the will and national conditions of African countries, and encourages the G20 member countries to positively participate and widely consult international organization to lay a solid foundation in subsequent implementation. The G20 countries should strengthen integrative cooperation with African countries and strive to achieve win-win results to make contributions to sustainable and inclusive growth of Africa and even the global economy.

INDIANAPOLIS – What I'm saying here isn't new. I've been banging the Jay Frye is the best thing to happen to INDYCAR drum since he was hired in 2013. His background and leadership skills have been among the biggest factors to why the series is growing the way it is. An example, Mark Miles said today in Detroit that the fan base has risen 38-percent over the last few years. Also, attendance is up at almost every track. Indianapolis is seeing 400,000 spectators walk through the gates of 16th and Georgetown now throughout the course of the entire Month of May, 300,000 of which on race day alone.
The drivers are on his side. The owners and teams are on his side. The fan base is on his side. Heck, there's four new teams coming the series' way.
Now, there's a new car that will debut in 2018.
Credit all of this to Frye and his talented team. He's the only person in decades that's been able to unite all sides to this series. In the past, a person in his position was in a tough job. They could never make a decision that would make all parties happy. Eventually, the paddock would grumble and the fan base would loudly object to any decision made.
It's no secret, the series used to look like a sport with no direction. While I know there was some methods behind the madness, to the public eye and to the media, it looked like the series was run by the seat of their pants.
With Frye, it's all change. It's now a well oiled machine.
On Tuesday, he spoke of a five-year plan. A what? Five-year plan? That's something you'd never hear in INDYCAR. Now, Frye is speaking highly of not just this plan that was implemented, but how it's actually working.
"Well, part of this, again, whole process we talked about, we've come up with a five-year plan, Frye said on Tuesday. "The plan actually was activated and started in '17 by freezing the current kits and then having the universal car starting in '18, so this car will run in '18, '19, and '20. End of '18 we'll get together with a collaboration of people and come up with what our goal or plan is for '21 and beyond, so the plan is kind of a rolling five-year plan.
"So ,so far, so good, and I think coming from a team perspective it's important to have — that everyone understands the direction of the series, where we're going, what we're doing, what it's going to cost. All this is locked in now for the next three years, so I think, again, this all goes back to all the people that helped make this all happen, and it was a great effort by our entire paddock, by Chevrolet, Honda, Dallara. Firestone has been at all the tests with — this car is probably going to need a little bit different tire than the '17 version, so it's been a great team effort."
A lot stands out to me there, but the biggest? "Everyone understands the direction of the series, where we're going, what we're doing, what is' going to cost."
That seems completely new to this series. No one in the past had everyone aligned like Frye does. Frye, not only has everyone aligned, but he has a plan for them and they're all united in it.
The next thing that I see from Frye, is that he's a great leader. He's instrumental to all of this, but here the man is giving everyone else credit too.
"It's been a great team effort," he says.
How about what he said preceding that?
"It's been a phenomenal team effort by our current OEM partners, Chevrolet and Honda, all the teams, everybody in the paddock, all our guys at INDYCAR and girls have done a phenomenal job to get it to this point. A very proud day. This process started early in December of '15 with I guess the direction or what could be the direction. By first quarter '16 we came up with a vision of what the car could look like and how it could possibly perform, and like you mentioned, we unveiled what it possibly could look like last January here.
"It's been a long process, but it's been very rewarding and very, I guess — it's done everything we thought it would do and then some, so we're really pleased and encouraged by where we're at."
This man gets it. He's a the leader that this series has always needed and he's surrounded himself with the best people.
He talks about planning even further later on.
"Yes, but I think part of it was that we had a — it was a well-thought-out and good plan," Frye continued. "If you go back to the whole process starting in December of '15 through coming up with a vision, kind of idealist in the first quarter of '16 to freezing the kits for '17, going through the process that summer to figure out what we wanted to do, and then even coming here last January where we unveiled some sketches and drawings of the car. I think in that time frame we also tested the '17 version car with some of the ideas we had for the '18 car, and everything came back from that. So this car is correlated throughout the whole process, whether it's scale model testing, track testing, anything we've done, and that's a huge compliment to everybody who's been a part of this, and we're really proud of where it is."
As he said, this whole thing started a few years ago and the plan has been detailed and down to the point. He's been open and honest the whole way through and today was a proud moment for the series and Frye.
If you don't know the process or the direction, you're just not paying attention. How Doug Boles is the best person to happen to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Jay Frye is the equivalent to the Verizon IndyCar Series.
This series is on the right track.

My connection
I've seen how God can use the written word to get His message accross, and I'm thrilled when He chooses to use me.
Let me rewind. Sunday, we had a get together of sorts at a sister church. People performed songs from our church and from theirs. I signed "Hold My Heart" by Tenth Avenue North. WOW! What an incredible song! SOOO powerful! (And really active, it's a fun one.)
Well, each time I sign that song, I am connected to God through it, and although I'm performing the signs in front of people, I mostly feel God speaking through me, but in the background of that, I can sense God and me communicating! (I can't help but think that Tenth Avenue North's prayers have come about as well, having touched people with that song. God spoke through them, and now their song is speaking through others)
That's incredible to me!
Sure, I want Him to use me, I want people to hear what He wants to say through me, but I've completely been naive to the fact that God can BE WITH ME as He USES ME!
In my writing, I've always felt as though I communicate through it, and God does the same. But, I've never really grasped the fact that God and ME can have moments together as I write. Just me, and God as He uses my fingers to punch the keys.
This can be another form of worship for me and God. I'm so excited to write tomorrow morning :D
Can you imagine?!
God speaking through me, and to me with words to you!
Cool, eh?
Let's go on an adventure! God, me, my characters and you!
6 comments:
This is exactly how I feel everytime I start a new story. My prayer is that through writing stories, God would draw me nearer to His heart and teach me His truths and then hopefully, use those same words to encourage others. Great post!ReplyDelete
Thanks honey!ReplyDelete
I'm just now preparing to resume another piece of work I'd started.
I'm looking at this whole thing with a fresh spirit, I can't wait!
I'm especially excited about drawing close to His heart.
I know He wants to use me for something, he donsn't bless talents and not flourish them from underneath as they're used.
thanks for the comment!
What a very cool thought, Kelly! I just love your enthusiasm! I'd never thought of writing being a form of worship, but it truly is. Thank you for sharing that!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Jody!ReplyDelete
Glad I could help :D
Beautifully said.ReplyDelete
Words are so powerful, and when you add music it can bring it to another dimension. It's like expressions of the heart in 3D.
Thanks, girls. I'm so glad this has helped you :)ReplyDelete
God is good!

A big hello to my readers who have been following these brief updates daily. Two solid days of sessions, and spent indoors, paved the way for campus visits to Apple, Google and Facebook. All these companies have attained cult-like status. Their annual revenues are greater than the GDPs of many countries and the sheer number of individuals that they impact, would put them a notch higher than several densely populated nations. Call it the binding force, the glue, stickiness factor or what you will, but perhaps it would not be too brazen to even challenge Karl Marx and his apt observation back then, about religion being the "opium of the masses." Arguably, and after 150 years, it is technology that may have well replaced religion as the new binding force. Would it sound blasphemous, if I compared these modern day Head Quarters to popular places of worship? The high citadels where only geeks kowtow! more

It's been two and a half weeks since Jasmine arrived, and after weeks of getting the nursery ready for her, it's finally occupied. She has her own little girl's bedroom and it's so sweet! Definitely one of my favourite rooms in the house.
Before Jasmine came we didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl, so I wanted to keep the palette quite neutral with pretty greens and greys. They are calming, soothing colours for me, but they also help to keep the room feeling light and fresh. Though it's perfectly baby-sized, it's not the biggest space so keeping a bright and open feel was important to me.
I filmed a little tour of the nursery, which you can watch on below or by heading my YouTube channel.
If you'd like a closer look, scroll down to see close-up photos and details on where I found everything.
We got our cot from Mothercare and accessorised it with this super cute bunny mobile from Mamas & Papas. So adorable! Matt's mum knitted the gorgeous grey blanket for us. I love all the different textures. The crocheted sheep was from Etsy – because I haven't finished crocheting my bunny for Jasmine yet!
The pine tree decals are from The Lovely Wall Company. I love decals because they're so much easier than wallpaper, and much simpler to change if you fancy a new look. Saying that, I hope Jasmine will love these for years.
I made the mountain shelves myself because I thought they'd look perfect in the pine tree decal forest. There's a tutorial coming soon!
In-keeping with my grey theme, I chose these Cox & Cox felt storage baskets. We've been really lucky that a lot of people have given us things for Jasmine, so these baskets are perfect for storing everything until she's old enough to need them.
I think this has to be my favourite thing in the nursery, the beautifully handwoven laundry basket from Artisanne. Pink was a controversial choice when we didn't know the sex of the baby, but I definitely would have styled it out for a boy too. As it is it's just right in a little girl's bedroom. It's pretty huge but babies create a lot of washing – thankfully this basket can handle it!
Elephants are my favourite animal so I had to make room for these elephant doorknobs from Zara Home once I spotted them. So cute!
I told you I love elephants! This beautiful crocheted one was from Etsy, and he looks lovely sitting on top of these round boxes from Ikea. You can never have enough storage!
This is my feeding chair, and my little corner of the room. I bought this pink cushion from Primark, and the turquoise blanket which you can just see is from Urbanara. (I love their blankets!) All coordinating, my turquoise mug is sitting on my stencilled side table!
I couldn't resist this origami bunny night light. It's from Cox & Cox again and just perfect for a little girl's bedroom.
Beautifully matching the theme again and tying the room together is this pretty scallop rug from H&M Home.
And that's Jasmine's bedroom! All these pictures were taken before she arrived which is why it's looking so neat. Sadly it's not quite like that at the moment! However I do hope she will inherit my love of tidying and one day it might be returned to its former glory!
I hope you enjoyed that little tour. Don't forget you can pin all the images to Pinterest so you can save them for the future. Have a lovely day everyone!

There are a lot of scammers and people masquerading as WordPress experts out there. How can you be assured that you're going to receive top service and support by choosing to work with us? See what others have to say about making "Jesse Petersen" synonymous with "quality and integrity."
In addition to knowing his craft inside and out, Jesse "sees" who you are and what you are trying to accomplish, and helps you become better than you thought you could have been. He delivers what he promises… and then some! It was a delight and an inspiration to work with a true professional.
Fred Graver
former editor, The National Lampoon
Jesse Petersen is the real deal. He knows WordPress inside and out, which is obviously one of the reasons you want to work with him. What you may have a harder time seeing from this website (or anyone else who claims to be a WordPress expert) is that Jesse is incredibly trustworthy. I accidentally gave Jesse the user ID and password to all of my sites (not just the one he was working on) and he never took advantage of that. Instead he focused on the site I had hired him to work on, and let me know when he was done. Sure, it may seem like a little thing, but with all the magicians out there pretending to be experts, it's the most important thing to me.
In addition to that, Jesse made it easy to work with him by sharing all of his contact information, and suggested many times when we could connect if I had questions, and he kept following up with me to make sure I was satisfied with the services he provided. I definitely will work with Jesse again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!
Phil Gerbyshak
Public speaker, relationship geek, and author of 10 Ways to Make It Great!
Wow. You've done amazing work: Such a clean and modern look and feel to our site now. What a transformation!
We really appreciate you getting it all done on such a short timeline, advocating on our behalf, and making all these changes at a fair price.
Lisa Jackson
Corporate Culture Pros
I have hired Jesse for over 10 projects. After I worked with Jesse the first time, I knew I would never do any other web projects without involving him. He is extremely professional, talented and detail-oriented. I would 100% recommend Jesse for anyone looking for an amazing web designer or WordPress expert. It will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.
Sibyl Chavis
The Possibility of Today
Folio has hired Jesse for several web development projects. His excellent knowledge of WordPress and his dedication to getting the job done right are an asset. Jesse has an attention to detail and is a great tutor in the digital world.
Jennifer Withington
Partner, Folio, Inc.
Jesse was recommended to me by Brian Gardner at SOBCon 2011 as someone who could improve my home-made web design. On Brian's recommendation, I contracted with Jesse to redesign the site and its logo, and have been so pleased with his work that I contracted with him to provide monthly service updates, redesign my Twitter background, business cards, and my Facebook page.
Jesse is good to work with. He takes feedback and direction well, while at the same time using his own expertise and experience to upgrade your vision. He is very knowledgeable about his field of work and provides great service at a good value.
I highly recommend Jesse to anyone looking to advance their online presence through clean, professional designs.
Nacie Carson
The Life Uncommon
Jesse is an awesome web developer/designer, and provides real value to his clients and the organizations and entrepreneurs he supports.
Shannon Steffan
Excira Media
Jesse is the real deal! I needed some help customizing a WordPress theme. Jesse was accessible when I needed him and his expert guidance was invaluable. It's obvious that he knows WordPress and loves to share his knowledge. I wouldn't have been able to complete this project without him.
Ria Sharon
I can't begin to tell you how absolutely in awe I am of the new site. One very proud owner – and you should feel justifiably proud of what you have achieved. This was an absolute behemoth of a monster when I first came to you; and you have produced a slick, professional, and more importantly accessible and approachable site. I can't thank you enough for what you have done and the sheer difference it will make to what we do. Absolutely brilliant; absolutely amazing. You have been the consummate professional and at the same time and fantastic person to work with. I look forward to long and fruitful future between Id.Net and yourself. Thank you.
Rob Fisher, PhD – Network Founder and Leader
When I needed to change my blogging platform, I turned to Jesse for help, and he did a fantastic job, all the way around. I was absolutely satisfied with his work; especially his responsiveness when issues arose. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for WordPress help.
Terry Starbucker
Jesse Petersen saved my hide. I am an multimedia editor at a major newspaper, and I was in a situation where I had to learn and produce a project using WordPress in a hurry! Jesse made himself available at all kinds of crazy hours and walked me through it with no problem. I recommend his as a vendor and a teacher, and I will work with him again.

Horror as a Genre
Kind of Activity:
Classwide Discussion
Students will understand characteristics of horror as a genre

Genres in general can be tricky to pin down, and horror is no exception. It doesn't have a set definition.

They can keep track of this on chart paper or some other collaborative document.
Once groups have their own lists of aspects of horror, come together as a class to share them. Does most of the class agree? Are there any aspects...

Curt Schilling — I'd Be In Hall of Fame Already … If I Was Anti-Trump (VIDEO)
Curt Schilling says his outspoken political views are keeping him OUT of the Baseball Hall of Fame … telling TMZ Sports, "If I had said 'Lynch Trump,' I'd be getting in with about 90% of the vote."
Schilling says he's well aware he's rubbed most of the H.O.F. voters the wrong way with his anti-Obama political views … and the inflammatory social media posts haven't helped his cause.Â
FYI, Schilling was a stud for 20 YEARS — winning 3 World Series titles with an 11-2 postseason record and a 2.23 ERA. Plus, more than 3,000 career strikeouts.Â
The case for Schilling is strong … but the ex-MLB star says he ain't sweatin' it because at the end of the day, "Life's not fair."

Prof notes - Jennifer Bloomquist
Associate Provost for Academic Technology Initiatives & Faculty Development and Dean of Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Programs
Paths and pivots I majored in English literature at Clarion University, and I was required to take two courses in linguistics. I found dialects to be really interesting and liked the idea of looking at different dialects as a way of understanding what language can tell us about society. I completed my master's and PhD degrees in linguistics at the University at Buffalo, where my research was in semantics, language acquisition, and category theory. The program there is well-known for grammar and syntax. In 2002, I was hired by Gettysburg College to teach Introduction to College Writing in the English department. I later taught in and became chair of Africana Studies.
Research I became interested in studying and mapping the regional dialect of urban and African-American speakers in the Lower Susquehanna Valley. Through a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and fieldwork with students, I was able to study and map patterns in the regional dialect. We collected more than 300 hours of interviews. Now I am working on a book for Oxford University Press called From Dumbo to Donkey, looking at minstrelsy in children's animated films and how race is constructed through voicing.
Impact I am very proud of the Stoles of Gratitude [pictured] that I have received from students. Mine are from students who were my advisees and attended graduate schools for linguistics. Although we don't have a linguistics program here, students can build an individual major around language and culture. They have been accepted at very competitive graduate schools, such as Georgetown University, the University of Texas– Austin, the University of Hawaii, and the University of Indiana.
Prof. Jennifer Collins Bloomquist served as chair of the Africana Studies program as it marked its 30th anniversary in 2017. She was co-chair of the Linguistic Society of America's Committee on Ethnic Diversity in Linguistics, and her work has been published in First Language, Journal of Pragmatics, Multilingua, Southern Journal of Linguistics, and American Speech.
Founded in 1832, Gettysburg College is a highly selective four-year residential college of liberal arts and sciences with a strong academic tradition. Alumni include Rhodes Scholars, a Nobel laureate, and other distinguished scholars. The college enrolls 2,600 undergraduate students and is located on a 200-acre campus adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.

Our Christmas dinner party ideas center around this basic premise: Christmas night is a wonderful conclusion to the day. The hectic part is over and you can sit, relax, enjoy great conversation and, of course, indulge in fabulous FOOD.
Whether you're looking for Christmas dinner party ideas for multiple generations (kind words for lots of kids and older folks) or just adult Christmas party ideas, you may want to tie your meal into one of our Christmas party theme ideas or our Christmas party foods. You'll especially want to take a look at our Christmas party desserts!
For this dinner party, let's expand on the warm, rich sounds of our Christmas music theme idea. A word of caution: This isn't the setting for Christmas songs like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." This is a time for classics like one of Elvis Presley's three Christmas albums, Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song, or Dave Koz's Smooth Jazz Christmas.
Keep the lighting low with candles throughout the room. Don't even think about putting just a single candle on a table; make little vignettes with the candles. Buy a few yards of velvet in dark golds and deep reds and greens. Cut the fabric into single yard pieces. Take one of the yards and scrunch it up so it has lots of folds and ripples. Now place a grouping of white pillar candles on top of the material. Make sure the candles are of varying heights and slightly off center (trust me, it looks better off-kilter a bit).
Play up the velvet and get extra long pieces to hang in your dining room entryway like drawing room curtains. A couple of rolls of fat satin ribbon will be perfect to wrap around each chair and tie into a big fat bow on the backs. Unique Christmas dinner party ideas should be dramatic, not complicated, you know?
Now the food needs to be rich and smooth, too. My husband (that's right, ladies, I said my husband; he's the best source of all of my Christmas dinner party ideas) makes either beef stroganoff or beef bourguignon for such a fine occasion. Both are totally decadent and totally delicious. Add an equally rich dessert like red velvet cake. Then sit back and sip a full-bodied red wine in front of a crackling fire in the fireplace.
We have a little different take on the Christmas Movie Night theme. It's been a tradition in our family since before our son was born to watch or listen to A Christmas Carol every year.
It used to be what we did Christmas Eve when we got home from visiting relatives and relaxed. Or it was our treat while we put together toys and placed presents under the tree. Now we have it on in our bathroom the entire day. Totally unexpected fun and gets everybody talking—after all it's not every day you get such a pleasant surprise in the bathroom.
Now that you have the movie all set up, it's on to the food. Set your table with old-fashioned Christmas party crackers at each place. When the guests are seated, they all have to pull their crackers in order to be properly attired with their Christmas crowns. You are definitely going to want to take pictures of this!
Go for broke and have a big fat Christmas goose stuffed with apples and cranberries. Add roasted fingerling potatoes, Christmas pudding or plum pudding, and applesauce. Top it all off with a rich port or some hot cranberry wine.
Pristine white, shimmery silver, light blue, and a touch of cerulean blue always look quite sophisticated when presented together. Decorate your house with these colors and bring the outside in for a fabulous winter wonderland.
For this Christmas dinner party idea, cover your dining table in an icy pale blue tablecloth; sprinkle with some white glitter. Perfect Christmas party favors to make would be our snowballs. Place them on the table and scatter them around the room.
Next, hang large white snowflakes from a light fixture above the table. You can buy them, or turn them into a craft project and make them. Fill a few silver bowls with shiny glass blue and silver Christmas balls (satin balls are nice, but for this look, they don't provide as much visual pop). Place the bowls of balls in varied spots on the table.
Serve your piping hot food in silver bowls and chafing dishes with silver serving utensils. Picture creamy butternut squash soup, a beautiful roast beef, scalloped potatoes, elegant French green beans, and kitschy hot chocolate. And for those over 21, a lovely alcoholic beverage for this color scheme is anything made with blue curacao. See our Christmas Party Drinks page for recipes to get you started. And don't forget the sweets. Our blue stars cupcakes are a perfect place to start.
Christmas dinner party ideas do not have to break the bank. Go simple and go economical...save your money for the presents! You cannot go wrong at Christmastime with red and white stripes.
Cover your table with a white cloth and add red ribbons of varying widths down the center. Or go disposable and buy a red and white striped tablecloth with solid red and white paper napkins. Finish your easy, economical dinner with plastic utensils in Christmas green (white plastic forks remind me too much of a cafeteria, and we have enough red).
Red, green, and white serving plates are the order of the day for the fixings for your hot turkey sandwiches. You'll need one each for the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and rolls. Sides of sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes with gravy finish the meal.
When it comes to your Christmas party drinks, eggnog and gluhwein fit into the color scheme of this Christmas dinner party idea perfectly. For a non-alcoholic beverage, try mulled cranberry punch. Recipes for all 3 of these scrumptious drinks can be found on our Christmas Party Drinks page. Desserts should get the candy cane treatment too: Arrange miniature desserts in a cane shape, a la—or should I say fa la la—our Christmas Party Foods page.

Soul Survivors
"This life is hard. Unforgiving. In the desert, the only god is a well."
The village of Elacs-Shom lies in the sometimes literal shadow of The Maw. Until recently, denizens eked out a living in this harsh environment through novel agricultural practices and a healthy local wellspring. However, the well's source seems to have run dry, leaving villagers to wonder just how much longer before they are forced from their homes in order to survive.

Well I'm back to sharing my crafting space, albeit with another crafter, but when Rachel came for her sewing lesson tonight I thought she was moving in! She arrived with a large tote full of "stuff".
Being up to date with her crafting garbage bags and having finished her special orders as well, (you'll love what she's made for you Martha), Rachel is now on to creating something she's been planning for a long time.
You have to know Rachel. She has a hard time parting with anything, therefore she has many t-shirts from her earlier years that she simply loves. Her plan is to make these into a patchwork quilt, hence she arrived with all her "stuff". We didn't get any sewing done tonight, but we refined the plan and cut the "favourite" pieces out of the shirts. Next step will be to stabilize the fabrics and cut them to size. I'll let you know how it goes as the process evolves.
Linda and I were both off this past Saturday so we took the opportunity of going to the craft sale at the Sports Complex in Bracebridge. We saw many of you there along with lots of other people. What a busy place it was with a swim meet going on at the same time. Lots of happy vendors with the opportunity to sell their wares. It was lovely to see what many of our customers made with the product they buy at the Craft Nook.
We had great fun last week at the second "gifty" class. The ladies worked really hard, but still had to go home with some homework to complete the one project. They loved the tea light tree they made from parchment paper. The paper was first embossed with gold powder and then cut and scored to make the "tree" cover. Topped off with a star it was a simple hostess gift. The strip ornament was a great hit as well when the ladies realised how quickly that could be made for the unexpected gift. The last but definitely most intense piece was the family birthdays board and to complete it required some work to be done at home. What a great gift for a grandparent so that they can remember all the family birthdays.
You can see all these pieces at the store, in the newsletter or later this week on the Flickr site.
This week we have a full class as we make six quick Christmas cards. There always seems to be a card that comes from someone that you missed off your list, so learning how to create a fast card takes away the stress. Next Thursday we will be making three more ornate cards. A little more time consuming, but these cards will be a gift in themselves.
I mentioned last week that we are going to try and give you a short tutorial on a different craft each week. This week we will show you how to make an easy desk calendar. It's quick and easy enough that you could make a few and put them in your "gifting stash".
1 piece of cardstock cut into three 4" wide strips
12 pcs patterned paper or cardstock @ 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 for month pages
2 pcs of patterned paper for the front and back cover of the book @ 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 (if you choose to make it book style)
12" narrow ribbon Various embellishments of choice
12 mats to fit your calendar Calendar (business card size)
1- 12 x 12 cardstock
Cut into three pieces 12 x 4 each
Score each strip at 3", 6", 9"
Glue one strip to the other as shown at the left to begin to form the pages
Continue in this way until all pages are made.
I didn't glue all pages together, but left an opening so that it formed a book shape. You could choose to
simply glue all sides to make complete star shape.
If you are making into book form, then proceed with the following
Glue ribbon onto one side of the front and back pages and then glue covers over the ribbon.
I added a small non month related calendar to front as an embellishment.
Here you see how I embellished all the monthly pages.
Once all your pages are decorated and embellished to your liking, your calendar will look like this.
Looking down from the top, you can see where my calendar is tied at one side to hold it closed.
Here you see it standing on the desk in the open position. The tie and opening are at the back.
Hope you have fun making this desk calendar.
As you're gearing up for Christmas may I suggest this to you......
One day at a time you'll be able to achieve
all your crafting goals.
For all the non paper crafters, here are a few links you may enjoy....
Some great FREE dishcloth patterns here
Or how about a quick felt pincushion or coaster here.
Perhaps by looking on Google images you could find a nice snowman pattern made from felt. Just add a pin back (we have them at the store) and you have a cute little embellishment for your winter jacket. Or perhaps it's the felt Santa that we have on display in the store that you could make into a brooch. So many choices....
Whatever your craft of choice.....
Until Later, Happy Crafting

This review can also be found at Boston Music Intelligencer.
Rumbarroco played a benefit concert for Venezuela's Niño Jesús Daycare on May 6 in Brookline's United Parish. The Latin-Baroque fusion ensemble featured a virtuosic line-up of musicians: Daniela Tošić, mezzo-soprano; Yi-Li Chang, violin and viola da gamba; Juan Carlos Ruiz, tenor and guitars; Kirsten Lamb, bass; Zayra Ocasio, percussion; Laury Gutiérrez, viola da gamba and cuatro. Delivering a distinctive musical blend of Old and New world Latin, African, and European, Rumbarroco engaged its audience with entertaining and complex sounds.
The program started with an anonymous 17th century piece, Ah! de las Mazmorras (Ah, From Your Dungeon), which sets text by Sor Juana Inès de la Cruz (1651-1695) and whose music may have also been written by her. The piece began in its original early music form complete with viola da gamba, but soon took on Rumbarroco-arranged Venezuelan rhythm, harmonies, and instruments after the first bridge. The bass, percussion and four-string Venezuelan bandola—a folk instrument similar to a cross between guitar and oud—improvised over the bridge's harmonic progression, landing the song into a joropo-infused arrangement of the original song complete with cuatro accompaniment. This included zumba que zumba progressions and rhythms native to creole Venezuela.
Next came contemporary composer Luisa Elena Paesano's Gavan con revueltas, arranged in the opposite manner from the first piece, this time taking a Venezuelan song and playing it with early music instruments. The juxtaposition of genres, instruments, and sonorities created a rich musical tapestry exposing and highlighting the musical character of its various cultural influences.
The next three songs were by Modesta Bor (1926-98): Ribereñas (Riverbanks), Mariposa del aire (Butterfly of the air), and Canto a la Vida (Song to Life). This set arranged the Venezuelan composer's vocal pieces for voices (mezzo-soprano Daniela Tošić; tenor Juan Carlos Ruiz) and early music instruments (violin and viola da gamba), and combined early music improvisatory techniques with current Venezuelan performance practice. The animated atmosphere culminated in the final piece of the first half: traditional Venezuelan folk song El Monigote (The Rag Doll). Rumbarroco added early music and baroque improvisational and ornamental techniques to contemporary composer Diana V. Saez's 2007 arrangement of the piece. An exciting percussion accompaniment, played superbly by Zayra Ocasio, stirred the audience. This piece brought tears to the eyes of some Venezuelans, who during intermission, reminisced about how it brought them back to memories of childhood.
The second half started with living composer, Beatriz Corona's Corazon Coraza (Armored Heart), which uses suspensions and techniques typical of baroque madrigals. The ensemble performed this piece with two viola da gamba and two voices in a style typical of 17th century music, and then added bass and percussion as well. Besame Mucho, by Consuelo Velazquez (1916-2005) followed. Rumbarroco performed Esther Rojas' arrangement for two viola da gamba and voice. Tošić's dark mezzo blended lusciously with the mellow gamba sonority while an Afro-Peruvian Lando rhythm structured the piece. The exciting Für Elena, by contemporary Diana Arismendi followed. Based on a folia harmonic progression typical of the baroque period, it showcased an intriguing improvisational interplay between the violin, viola da gamba, and bass and ended with an extraordinary cadenza by violinist Yi-Li Chang. This cadenza explored the instrument's range and potential, containing elements of Bach partita performance while also grasping at Rumbarroco's infusion of montuno salsa rhythms, played dynamically by Ocasio. The concert ended with an audience favorite, Saez's Plena, which involved audience vocal participation, a virtuosic bass improvisation, and firework percussion. Gutierrez explained that the plena is a type of popular musical genre from Puerto Rico that sings praise to the Virgin Mary and takes its name from a portion of a prayer to her, "Maria, plena de gracia" (Mary, full of grace).
Rumbarroco's innovative blend of music offers an exciting, sonorous soundsphere to the listener. Who knew that Venezuelan folk instruments and salsa beats could perfectly compliment baroque violin and viola da gamba?

Olympic Runner
Getting to the finish line in record time is her ultimate goal. Maziah Mahusin is preparing to break records at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. In 2012 this 400m hurdler and runner became the first Female Olympian ever from the tiny, oil-rich nation of Brunei to compete with some of the best runners in the world, including Jamaica's World Championship bronze medalist Novlene WilliamsMills. In the summer Olympics of that same year in the 400 m event she achieved a new national record of 59.28.
Maziah's goal is to set new records for Brunei at international competitions. She believes that even though many people in Brunei think that 'sport cannot give you a future' she would be proud to become the first female athlete from Brunei to participate at the Olympics. Her motto is "Never give up!' – she did not give up and is thrilled to know that many young athletes have been inspired to run because of her track record.

Elder Lightningblade the Survivor – or the Coward, as many referred to him – overshadowed everything in his son Dori's life. He had made his name and his money as part of the elite adventuring group known simply as The Five. Elder was so enraptured by this thrilling life of excitement and danger that he constantly pushed Dori to follow in his footsteps, alternating between enrolling him in various training academies and dragging him deep into the Feywild for "practical exercises." He showed a knack for certain professions, and picked up a few tricks during his training, but detested the bloodthirsty gleam in the eyes of his father and his companions when they were in the heat of battle. As a youngster, Dori made it abundantly clear that he had no intention of venturing outside of their community's safe haven any more than necessary.
Elder's career was derailed, however, when an ill-advised pursuit of fabled treasure in the Underdark lead The Five straight into a mind flayer ambush. The veteran rogue was able to escape with two members of his party as his paladin friend held the attackers at bay. The days that followed were hellish beyond description and, in the end, Elder was the only one to return home. The passage of time has washed away the memories of his fervent efforts to gather, at his own expense, what would have amounted to a small army in order to avenge his friends and recover their bodies. Instead, all that is remembered is that Elder managed to get away when the rest of his party did not. Wracked by survivor's guilt and haunted by the nightmare possibility that the valiant defender who had saved his life may have been captured instead of killed, the broken gnome slipped into crippling depression.
Dori had to stand by and witness all of this, helpless to revive his father's will to live and forced to watch as illicit drug abuse gave way to a wasting disease. At first hopeful that he may be able to find a cure, Dori turned to the clerical healing arts and began to study in earnest. The gods, however, rarely help those who do not wish for their assistance and no amount of divine power could prevent Elder's impending demise. Nevertheless, Dori became increasingly obsessed with expanding his understanding of the Astral Realm and the power that flowed from it. Unwilling to cheapen the beliefs of the truly devout followers of the Fey deities, he instead focused on gaining Avandra's blessing through eldritch machinations. Several years later, the cleric's life reached a tipping point. Shortly after his father finally passed away Dori finally unlocked the secret of tapping directly into the astral forces, flooding him with new powers and imbuing him with immortality.
His obsession sated and no longer occupied with caring for his namesake, Dori tried to return to normal life. Unfortunately, he found himself an outcast in his own tight knit community. Too proud to spend the years it would take to work his way back into his neighbors' good graces, Dori instead took this as a sign that he should further investigate the cryptic references to the fantastic power of the stars themselves that he had occasionally come across. Sifting through his father's impressive collection of magical relics, he equipped himself for the journey ahead and settled the outstanding debts of the estate. Once he was fully kitted, Dori set out to follow his one sliver of a lead out of the Feywild and towards the dwarven city of Overlook…

Link to the assignment: Police Beat
Essentially, identify an innocent seeming song that advocates some odd/criminal behavior and reformat it as a police report style article. My example based on "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" is below.
Acclaimed Italian eurodance group, Eiffel 65 (Jeffrey Jey, Maurizio Lobina, Gabry Ponte) has been arrested for allegedly painting sixteen women, ten vehicles, three churches, and eight houses blue.They were arrested approximately five blocks from their home in Naples, Italy. The exact brand of paint used is unknown, but is currently being investigated by crime scene investigators. Witnesses claim the three men were yelling "Im blue, da ba dee da ba dee" as they were painting everything in sight with an unknown blue substance.
Witness and local farmer Marco Materazzi said the three men were most likely drunk, if not clinically insane.
Alessandro Del Piero, a clinical psychotherapist at the Naples Hospital of Mental Care warns the public that although the three men are mentally unstable, and should be avoided at all costs. "In my professional opinion, Eiffel 65 must be kept in police custody for as long as possible, for they are a possible threat to the general public of Naples. They have an unhealthy obsession with the color blue."
The three men are currently under custody, pending over 20 charges for vandalism, destruction of property, assault with a deadly weapon (unknown blue substance), public indecency, etc.
Total Damage: Estimated to be over $200,000 USD.

New Zealand ended their FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup campaign on a high note with a 5-0 win over the hosts in Zarqa, Jordan on Saturday morning.
Hannah Blake spearheaded the rout with a hat trick while Sam Tawharu bagged a double in the comprehensive win.
Notching just their second victory at U-17 Women's World Cup level and New Zealand's biggest ever win at a FIFA tournament, the Young Football Ferns finish third in their group after losses to Mexico (0-5) and Spain (0-2) in their first two matches.
Tawharu gave the Kiwis an ideal start when she swept home Blake's cross to put her side ahead in just the fifth minute.
Tawharu then repaid the favour by putting Blake in behind the Jordanian defence in the 28th minute. Blake still had plenty to do though but controlled well with her head and beat the goalkeeper from a tight angle to double the lead.
Despite their dominance, New Zealand were kept at bay until the 76th minute when Blake grabbed her second with a side-foot volley from a misguided defensive clearance.
The Blake-Tawharu partnership reaped dividends again in the 90th minute as Blake slipped Tawharu through for the Forrest Hill Milford forward to slot her second.
Blake, who was named player of the match, then completed her hat trick in the second minute of additional time to round out the decisive display.

Through Darkening Spectacles: Memoirs of Diamond Jenness
Moore, Jacky, British Journal of Canadian Studies
Diamond Jenness and Stuart E. Jenness, Through Darkening Spectacles: Memoirs of Diamond Jenness (Gatineau: Canadian Museum of Civilization, 2008), xxvi + 407pp. Paper. ISBN 9780660198026.
This is a biographical account of the life and work of Diamond Jenness (1886-1969) drawn from his original detailed and personal manuscripts written during the last three years of his life, with a similar amount of material written by his son Stuart Jenness. It is the family's personal recollections and reflections, hitherto unpublished detail, that make this book very readable, adding insights about the long life of a very remarkable man. Stuart's descriptions and analysis of his father's life add further information, providing very useful bridging chapters between the manuscript notes written by his father. These chapters are anecdotal and augment the original manuscripts with biographical and family contributions. Diamond Jenness is considered to be one of Canada's greatest scientists: he served as Chief Anthropologist at the National Museum of Ottawa from 1926 to 1948; he actively served in both World Wars, seconded into intelligence work during the Second World War; and following his retirement in 1948 he was an avid traveller in Europe, Mexico and Martinique, writing about and studying the people and cultures he lived among, continuing the anthropological work he spent most of his life engaged in.

INTERNATIONAL. There are a lot of great opportunities to start up in business in the current climate, with more and more people choosing an entrepreneurial path over traditional employment.
Having a good idea is the most important thing for someone who wants to create a new business venture, along with having done the research to establish the viability of that idea in their chosen market. Once you have checked those boxes, the next most important thing is how well you yourself are equipped to be a good CEO.
Gaining the Skills to Become an Effective CEO
Being a CEO is about more than just being skilled in what your company does. In fact, those are things that can be left to other people further down the line. A good CEO is someone with a good grasp of all of the things affecting their business, who is also adept at leadership and business strategy.
But where do you learn these things? Well, in some cases it will be from things you have done in past professional roles, but for a good all round knowledge of business that can give you a real edge as a CEO, the easiest option is normally to study for a masters in business administration online.
What Skills Do MBA Graduates Have That Make Them Better at Running a New Business?
Everyone in business needs good capabilities when it comes to management, negotiation and strategy, however in an established business there is less of a need to 'wear many hats' than in a start-up.
In an established company you, as CEO, can delegate some things to other directors, for instance letting your financial director worry about budgetary decisions and your HR director worry about staffing. In a start-up, usually these roles aren't yet warranted, and before your new venture scales you will need to basically have command of all kinds of areas of business, from marketing to budget, and from IT to supplier management.
By studying for an online MBA, you can gain skills and knowledge in all of the fields you may currently be lacking in, and have the kind of holistic knowledge that will set you apart as a business owner.
Credibility with Investors
Another reason to work towards your MBA online while you are preparing to start-up, or in the early stages of building your business, is that you may need to seek out external investment.
Having the coveted MBA qualification will demonstrate to investors you may wish to court that you have a well-rounded knowledge of business and are likely to be a reliable person to run the company you are setting up. An MBA is a prestigious degree, and this can't be discounted when dealing with private sources of funding, or even when trying to attract investors through crowdfunding campaigns.
Studying for an MBA can be done while you are working, so there is no need to hold off on getting started with your idea – simply implement new things you learn as you go and enjoy improving your business as you improve your skills!

A separate form must be completed for each child going on vacation.
The vacation policy form must be completed prior to the vacation absence in order for the absence to be deemed excused.
The vacationing student is required to submit his/her completed assignments within five school days after re-entrance to school. Teachers will then evaluate and grade the work so that the student will be given proper credit for his/her efforts.

MSNBC apologizes for guest's inflammatory comment on country music
MSNBC apologized after a guest said, "nothing says 'let's go kill some Muslims' like country music."
Ebony.com senior editor Jamilah Lemieux made the comment in regards to presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz's remarks on "CBS This Morning" that he switched from rock to country music after 9/11.
Cruz said country music's response to the tragedy "resonated" with him more so than other genres. Lemieux's comments on the MSNBC program "Now with Alex Wagner" were met with giggles from her fellow guests Michael Steele and Joan Walsh.
Lemieux added, "Fresh from Lynchburg, Virginia, so he obviously doesn't want to be a polarizing candidate, he wants to bring people together. That's absurd."
A slightly stunned Ari Melber, who was serving as a fill-in host for Wagner, quickly responded, "Well, but I mean, there's plenty of country music that doesn't have that message."
A few moments later, Melber addressed the camera telling viewers, "We have a programming note. A few minutes ago on this program, a guest made a comment about country music that was not appropriate, and we want to be clear this network does not condone it."
