Blog - Baby Care
Five ways to spend quality time with your kid
Watch a movie
As a parent, you should restrict your kid from watching excess of TV but watching a movie once in a while can help the kid in many ways. Even psychologists say that movies can help in developing their mind as it's a type of storytelling. Make sure that you pick good movies which have some moral at the end. Try to pick animated movies as they attract kids and are easy to understand.
Solve puzzles
Puzzles can help in teaching the kids and can also improve their coordination, imagination and creativity. You can bring different types of puzzles with different difficulty levels. Help them in solving the puzzles while asking them their views and thoughts. It will keep their interest and will ensure good time learning.
Create something
There are many types of art and crafts available in the market. Get some of them and start creating different things like cards, decorative paintings, painted balls, etc. Make sure that for every work, you appreciate them; it will help in enhancing their creativity and will encourage them to try out something new.
Head to the park
You can make this daily activity special by taking Frisbee, balls, jumping ropes, etc. Enjoy the experience as every kid loves such physical activities; you can play with them till they drop. Keep some energy bars and drinks for breaks; also encourage them to interact. This will help them in making new friends while developing their social skills.
Go for a drive/walk
Sometimes just going out for a drive or a walk can help a lot in creating a good bond. You can go for shopping or can just grab an ice cream with your kid; it will help them in sharing their views freely. You can interact about their likes and dislikes and can make them feel more relaxed. This also helps in developing a sense of responsibility in them as they learn to share their views with their parents.

Rebellion in the US? Possible
In many places in the world, there are rebellions and uprisings occurring, and have occured over the history of mankind. Is it possible to see these events here in America?
On April 19, 1775 the first shot of the American Revolution occurred. A proud moment in American history as colonial rebels resisted teh lawful rule of the British Empire. History shows these people as the founders of America, heroes each and every one. Obviously history can paint people with whichever brush is at hand, but the fact remains they were rebelling. At the conclusion of the war, after the forming of the Constitution, the Decleration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, America was born as a fledgling nation, and no longer an integrated colony under British rule. Visions of how great this nation could be danced through the founding fathers heads as they attempted to found this country on everything they wanted and didn't have.
Two hundred plus years later, there is still rebellions occurring around the world, as people want more then they have, want better lives, or just want a change. Here in America, people talk about what they want, but do not act, even within the rights granted to them. We face high taxes, a failing economy, multiple wars around the world, a beginning energy crisis, and the signs of more control from the government via acts such as the Patriot Act and through laws that allow wiretapping. Micro chip monitoring is no longer a blurb in a science fiction movie, but an actual occurring event. And Americans still do nothing.
Will there ever be an instance or an event that causes Americans to take to the street in mass protest? Will there ever be a collected demand for politicians to step down legally? Will large corporations ever be held to task for their crimes against the environment and their blatant theft of the American people?
Time will tell if Americans will ever remember that this country was founded by the people, for the people, and we need to remind the politicians(in a peaceful manner) that this is our country, and we aren't going to take the special interest groups, the kickbacks, the fraud, the immorality, and the bankruptcy of America anymore.
What may happen in US in coming days, in my view, can't be called a rebellion.Because, people of US are now so matured in politics and they silently bring change through ballets.This has happened to Nixon,and the just previous president also. Opposition party in US is also working responsibly, unlike Indian opposition parties who keep the bringing down of the ruling party as their only aim.So the change in US will take place in a desirable way, not by harsh measures.We can call it silent revolution,if you are very particular about using the word 'revolution'

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin romance is heating up!
Lawrence, 24, attended the Coldplay concert at the Ace Hotel Theatre in downtown Los Angeles to cheer for her Beau. Things took a romantic turn when Chris Martin, 37, started singing to her.
According to US Weekly, "Chris gave a good look around the room and then spotted someone up on the balcony. He pointed and said 'Aha! I see you!' and then smiled and waved. He kept looking up in the direction during the show and smiling, pointing, singing to her."
Lawrence reportedly showed up at the theatre minutes before the show began.
"Just before the show was supposed to start, Jennifer Lawrence walked toward the stage, surrounded by a couple girlfriends, trying to find their seat," a source told US Weekly.
"They looked a little rushed, like they wanted to get to their seat before the show started so someone on the theatre staff helped them out," the source added.
Lawrence, who looked "casual but still really pretty in a slinky, dark blue dress," then took her seat on the balcony.
According to E! News, "She danced the entire time."
Lawrence looked smitten by the singer's voice, and "she knew every word to every song and there was a glisten in her eye as she watched Chris perform; she couldn't take her eyes off him."
According to the source, "Jennifer stared adoringly at Chris, both hands in the hair, dancing and singing along to 'Magic.'"
Last week, Lawrence and Martin enjoyed a night out with friends at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont. According to eyewitness, the couple were "super affectionate and at ease with each other."

Are you still looking for a fun and quick gift? Want something different? Well, I have the perfect little idea for you! And it's so fun and simple to put together!
Just run to your local McDonald's,or any other place you want where you can pick up a fry box. (I bought a thing of fries and also asked for an extra box.) You can also pick up a gift card to go along with it if you want. I also asked for an extra bag to use as I gave the gift away in.
Then, go grab some cash. You want lots of bills, so if you are going to give $20, you may want to get 20 $1 bills. OR if you are giving $50 or $100, you may want to split it up into something like 10 $1 bills, a few fives and a couple of tens or twenties...or something like that.
Then all you need to do is to fold your dollar bills to look the same size and shape as french fries.
I figure out how tall I want my fries to be according to the fry box.
1. I fold the top of the dollar bill over first to that height. (And I vary the height I fold them all too, so it looks more realistic...well, it's not going to ever look realistic. haha)
2. Then I fold it in half.
3. I fold it in half again.
4. I open that last fold back up, and then fold one side into that center line.
5. Then I fold the other side into the center line as well.
And that's it! Take the folded dollar bill and help shape it into a rectangular cube with the folds that you made.
Then I start placing them into the fry box.
It's really so easy and doesn't take much time at all. It's creative and much more fun than just throwing some cash in an envelope.
I love taking the whole thing and throwing it in a bag from the store where your fry box is from. That way when you give it to them, it just looks like you picked up a bag of fast food for them. It's pretty funny when you go to give them their gift and their face is like, "Oh! You're giving my McDonalds? Umm...ok...thanks." lol
OR you can just grab a fun little bag to wrap it up in...like this one with the cellophane front that we threw one more dollar in behind the cello.
I love adding a thing of real fries in the bag too OR a gift card for birthdays, or almost any occasion! The gift card is great for graduates, to have something on hand for them when they go off to college.
What's the most fun way that you have ever received or given money gifts? There are so many ideas out there. I'd love to hear from you!

OK, I'm gonna' give you another project on here. I don't think she's sitting too close to Bessie, but too close to Bessie's behind...what if you took the original picture of the Beautiful Bovine, and flipped your woman so that she was feeding the flower to Bessie?? I KNOW you can do it!
Rock on, Carole...

Nice job! Well, I don't think I would play with photoshop when I am wasting time because I get frustrated. Recently I've been on Pinterest, or working on hand lettering as explained in my post yesterday with Teresa McFayden's e-workshop. It's been fun. I took Kim's beginner photoshop course. I need to work on it some more in order to get more familiar with it.

This is a perfect example of why I consciously never got into the more artsy side of Photoshop. I have some textures, and I sort of know how to use them, but it seems to be addictive and I'm afraid that it will take over my life. (I'm not sure I have as much willpower as you do.)
Blogging is exactly what I do when I feel like wasting time. It's not REALLY a waste, but it feels like it sometimes, so it feeds the need to not be doing something constructive 24/7. Other things are: go for a ride with the dogs (too muddy to walk here in winter), hit the thrift shops, talk on the phone with friends, and stuff like that.

Hi Carole, Wish I was as computer savvy as you...lovely job with Photoshop...I know you will get it right. I blog when I need a break or stitch..I have so much to do as well with this reno, but keep procrastinating too! I want to shoot myself with these blogging issues. Looking forward to seeing your new purchases from the shows and what you do with them...can't wait. N.xo

I listen to music or read a book when I need a break. I have a sick sense of humor so I was thinking you could add a caption to your photo. Something like "Funny, this flower just doesn't smell right" or Beatrice tried to enjoy life by smelling the flowers but wasn't always in the right place at the right time to do so. Ok, I warned you about the sick sense of humor ahead of time so I hope I didn't offend anyone. I love your photo as is of course. :)

Oh, and what do I do when I need a break? Well - I just deleted my Pinterest account, so that's out.
I'm one of those multi-tasker types and like to have several projects going at once. That way, I can just jump in and keep going. :)

That last layer really did the trick, Carole! Sometimes layers can take you totally by surprise with how they effect an image.
When I want avoid everything else I definitely go on the computer or photograph something. A nap is always nice too ; )

When I need something 'mindless' I polish silver. I guess that is not quite a break but indicative of my personality. I loath wasting time, but find that polishing relaxes me and the results are quite rewarding. I even do it when on the phone!
I am in awe of your picture ability. I only have a fixed lens camera and work in iphoto. Best, Lisa

What a nice "nostalgic" immage - I like "The girl with the cow" and I like the work you have done! But I agree with "Bead and Needle", she is a bit too close to Bessie's back. I think the cow-and-girl-couple would look more harmonious, if either the cow or the girl would look the other way (Photo flip)...
Have fun on playing! :o)

Hi Carole,
I do love Bessie and the Maiden, looks so old and you have given it a gorgeous look.
I am spending way too much time on the computer today and I should be going to get dinner on.
Happy week

Cream Concealer - P Light 10ml
Specially designed to provide comprehensive colour with very little product, this long-wearing, full-coverage concealer will let you achieve instant, undetectable camouflaging. The ultra-creamy texture allows for superior blendability, covering blemishes, dark spots and under-eye circles effortlessly. Packed with age-defying antioxidants, it will help leave skin smooth and youthful as it conceals.
Description Banish blemishes and bid goodbye to imperfections with Cover FX's Cream Concealer, a full-coverage, water-based cream concealer for use on the face and under-eye area. Crafted with 27% pure colour pigment, it's impressively long-wearing and, designed to cover imperfections using very little product, pleasingly long-lasting. Supremely blendable, the formula is designed to be used on any areas giving you grief – particularly blemishes, dark spots, discolouration and darkness under the eye. Full to the brim with age-defying ingredients and antioxidants and free from the 'inflammatory five' (gluten, mineral oil, fragrance, parabens and talc), this clever concealer helps to smooth and soften skin as it camouflages, minimising the appearance of fine lines (rather than sinking into them!) for a healthy, youthful complexion.
How to use Place a small amount of concealer onto a brush then tap and blend over the imperfection until covered. For use with fingers, place a small amount of concealer on your ring finger and then tap and blend over the imperfection until covered.

LandscaperMarketing.com was founded in May of 1995 by Dan Antonelli, a celebrated graphic artist and marketing guru who has authored two books on logo design and published over 50 articles on logo design, graphic design and related creative topics. Under his aegis, our design, web and marketing team approaches your landscape project as a committed business partner, redefining current initiatives or developing them from the ground up.
You've probably noticed that there aren't many companies providing custom landscape marketing services. At LandscaperMarketing.com, we think that's a shame; so we've leveraged decades of industry expertise to provide a one-stop-shop for landscape logo & brand development, web site design and campaign execution. Our team of art directors, graphic designers, web developers and copywriters deliver custom marketing solutions that are never recycled–especially from cheesy templates that weren't any good in the first place. Instead, we're your partner in developing a brand that's uniquely yours–and that's representative of your industry authority.
Don't get us wrong. We're not full of ourselves. In fact, we're our biggest critics. That's why our clients have come to expect perfection: because we've spent years refining (and obsessing over) the art and science of landscape branding. And, since we're being honest, here's the deal. If your landscape business is the same as every other landscape business, we'll kindly recommend dozens of "competitors" who can provide a cheap, canned logo, web site or brochure. You'll get a steal of a deal that's worth maybe half as much as you'll pay.
We're happy to say that we're not the cheapest, because we think you deserve better. That's not to say that we're not conscious of your budget parameters. Our services are fairly priced for the value you receive. You'll find that we take pains to stretch your dollar and maximize your ROI–without reusing concepts or relying on templates. After all, we're not about designing marketing materials that "blend in"–because we're all about standing out. So if you're satisfied with being "one of them"–we're probably not a good match for your needs.
If you're a discerning business owner who believes in the inherent value of a premium brand identity, you're in the right place. We're committed to growing your business through cohesive branding, web, and collateral. Our marketing materials do not impersonate your competitors: they blow your competitors away. We are, first and foremost, an accomplished and renowned ad agency that brings award-winning creative services to landscapers. And unlike other so-called 'green marketing' companies, none of our work is outsourced.
At LandscaperMarketing.com, we're proud of the logos, stationery, web sites and brochures we produce. But that's not all we do. In reality, we supply comprehensive advertising and marketing solutions for distinctive landscape firms. Those other things (logos, web sites, etc.) are simply the vehicles through which our solutions build your business—and win you customers. Check out some of our Case Studies, and see what we've done for other green business owners just like you.

When an assisted living home for the elderly in California shut down last fall, many of its residents were left behind, with nowhere to go.
Maurice Rowland, the cook, and Miguel Alvarez, the janitor, who were working there, stayed to take care of them. The pair quickly became round-the-clock caretakers.
"My parents, when they were younger, they left me abandoned," he said. "Knowing how they are going to feel, I didn't want them to go through that."

What's cooking?
Today, I'm going to make chicken soup using some frozen chicken stock - a residue of last week's two chickens for $5 special at Woolies - and I'm also going to cook fried rice using some left-over boiled rice that we brought home with us after eating in the local Vietnamese restaurant on Sunday night - "Fried Rice 101", Wendy! We will have both of these tonight with fresh chicken schnitzel from one of our local butchers.
Lien's, our local Viet restaurant, is very gracious in providing 'doggy bags' when you cannot eat all of their sizeable meal servings and the best rice for making fried rice is boiled rice a day to 2 days old. Just keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
Don't forget folks - visit http://supportingandrew.blogspot.com/ and give some encouragement to Janet and Andrew!

You mean the Beer Bread?
Room Temperature for the beer and stout - any good brands will do, 250ml cups of Self-raising Flour, don't KNEAD it, 2 teaspoons each of salt and sugar!
Watch your oven temperature! 175C fan forced, 200C non-fan forced for around 55 to 60 minutes.

Has anyone ever taken a sleeper bus in Vietnam before? If so, what are they like? How comfortable are they? Also, how safe are your backpacks? Any other information about sleeper buses would be appreciated. Cheers.
Sleeper buses in Vietnam
In Vietnam now there are some name of buses with sleeper berth such as: Hoang Long bus, Hung Thanh bus...In general, it's suitalble for traveller and comfortable enough. All of them are new bus so you can use them.
I used the sleeper bus a few times - its slightly more expensive than the normal tourist bus. The beds are ok bit short but ok and pretty comfy.
I actually would recommend one of the lower berths or bunks, basically l did the Hue to Hanoi trip and was first on the bus so grabbed the back seat where its like a big double bed - this was great for a bit then the bus stopped off and picked up a load of locals along the way and as there is nothing separating you l had to lie with some stranger snoring in my ear and flinging their arms about!!
Also as you are higer up you tend to feel every pot hole more and you bounce much more!!
So yes the sleeper buses are good and decent condition with a blanket and pillow and relatively comfortable!
I think in all countries all over the world the "opportunist thief" is everywhere. I think the sleeper buses are in general fine but you should always be on your guard! I'm sure you will here good stories and bad stories in general it's best to use common sence and stay safe. Happy travels
I agree with Purdy.
I also used a sleeper bus last year from Hue to Hanoi. I used a bed right at the back as they were totaly flat aswell. Don't expect a great night sleep though! Right at the back on the top bunk you do bounce around and does keeps you awake abit. The driver beeping is horn every two seconds is worse though! At the end of the day its better than your back acheing all night and all you wana do is rest it. I would recomend it and your pack should be fine under the coach just keep an eye out when you have a stop off.
I took the sleeper bus and it was okay (but I see what you mean about the driver constantly beeping his horn). The backpackers where I booked it though told me it would have bunks, but it turned out that there were no bunks and you were sleeping in two seats right next to a stranger which was a bit weird, but overall it wasn't too bad.
But anyway, cheers for the advice everyone.

NCEER-97-0012 | 10/31/1997 | 190 pages
TOC: The table of contents is provided.
Keywords: Nonlinear static analysis. National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). Guidelines for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings, 1997 edition. FEMA 273. FEMA 274. Pushover analysis. Energy dissipation systems. Added damping devices. Equivalent linear systems. Modal analysis. Simplified methods. Nonlinear response analysis. Yielding systems.
Abstract: The study presented in this report is extremely relevant to the newly suggested Nonlinear Static Analysis Procedures suggested by FEMA 273 and 274. The report addresses, to a large extent, a simplified procedure using representation of inelastic structures by elastic structures with equivalent stiffness and damping properties. As demonstrated in this study, the method is suitable in predicting the actual inelastic response with some limitations. These limitations are well quantified and characterized, and bring confidence to the good estimates obtained by the simplified method, for the cases where the limiting factors are avoided. The work in this report is relevant to the use of highly effective energy dissipation systems (or added damping systems) which produce substantial reductions of damaging deformation in inelastic systems. This is a comprehensive parametric study which extends the previous exploratory, experimental and analytical studies done by the authors and other researchers at NCEER regarding use of passive energy dissipation in inelastic structures.

I am a legspin bowler and tried to bowl a leggie that goes on with the arm.
This is possible as shane warne has this weapon in his locker but I'm not sure how he does it. I tried varyin the amount of revs on the ball and angle of the wrist but doesn't really work. I also thought about spinning the ball but on different axis on the ball so it won't turn as much when pitching. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ged arrives in Roke and asks some townspeople where he can find the Warden of the School on Roke. Each time he asks a new townsperson for direction, they respond with a riddle-like answer leaving Ged with no more information than when he started. Finally he knocks on a door and the person answering tells him he has found the school. Ged tries, unsuccessfully, to enter the door. The doorkeeper asks Ged for his name. Although it is not the norm to say one's own name unless it is a life or death situation, Ged tells the doorkeeper his name and at last, he can enter.
Ged is left alone waiting in the innermost room of the House of Wise. Suddenly, there is a man in the room with him, the Archmage Nemmerle. Ged reads the letter Ogion has given him to the...

David Nash works primarily with wood that has fallen naturally or has been felled due to age, disease or safety. He also makes planted works; living, growing sculptures; long term projects that span decades; trees, brambles, copses are sculpted and manipultaed over tens of years to form domes, grids of saplings and walls of living matter.
Out of the felled trees emerge eggs, columns and pyramids. Domes are formed from elements of the tree, Cork Oak bark is stacked to make towering spires and squat 9m circles. Oak branches are burnt and stuck into the ground end on to form low convex structures. He burns and chars the wood to form deep black, velvety surfaces. Burnt edges highlight geometric shapes cut into columns, hexagonal shapes are carved into oak eggs.

A bridal party walks across 14th Street between Dalzelle Street and Michigan Avenue after a photo shoot inside the burned house on the left in downtown Detroit across from the historical Michigan Central Train Station. The two houses were part of a project called Imagination Station, an effort to place art in unoccupied spaces. Late last June the house on the left, named Lefty, caught fire and spread to the second house, Righty. This was not the first time the houses caught fire.
"...if you live in this stuff 24/7, it's not cute. And it's not art. It's just not art. So if you want to make it art, you know for a minute, that's fine. But let's not keep it at that state. Because you trying to make it into something that's pretty. It's not pretty. Because we live here." - Nefertiti Harris, owner of Nefertiti Salon in Detroit

Ajhane Thomas, 18, a student at Catherine Ferguson Academy, walks back to the school barn as Jon Miller of Detroit carefully leads his draft horses, Tess and Tara, around the urban farm for the first time at the school. Miller and his horses plowed through garlic plots on harvest day at the school. Miller hopes that the horses can stable closer to the city to do farm chores and provide educational outings in the city on a regular basis.
Catherine Ferguson Academy is a school devoted for young mothers and mothers-to-be in Detroit. There are currently 200 students enrolled in the school.

Mars Psymons, center, cuts and collects wood found on a dead-end street with fellow Golden Gate residents so they can use it for fire. Psymons created the Golden Gate community, an eleven house community that functions as a cohesive group, promoting self-sustainability, urban agriculture and an alternative way of life. All of the residents are essentially squatting in unoccupied homes but have indicated interest in eventually purchasing the property. Psymons along with Tyler Brazley, Shane Clark and Marshall Stephens drive around their neighborhood to scour any dead tree limbs that they can cut with a chainsaw for firewood. Some are found near a dead end street, others are found on overgrown lots in front of abandoned homes. By the time they return, the bed of the pick-up truck is brimming with freshly cut logs.
Kadiri Sennefer, a native of Detroit, is a farm manager at D-Town Farms. Sennefer has been with the farm since it relocated to West Outer Drive in Detroit in 2008. Sennefer is part of the youth movement within Detroit. He teaches children who visit the farm and creates music about food justice and urban agriculture.
Kadiri Sennefer, also known as S.I.R.I.U.S., and Bryce Anderson-Small, also known as BRYCE, rap together on stage at the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit during a celebration of urban gardening and farming through art and performance. Sennefer works on an urban farm in Detroit and Anderson-Small helps mentor youth through media literacy.
Bryce Anderson-Small, a former record executive, now devotes his time to youth media literacy with his company, Detroit Recordings. He also raps with Kadiri Sennefer, a farm manager at D-Town Farms.

Homeless men and women form a line to wait for the soup kitchen at Spirit of Hope church in North Corktown to open on a Saturday afternoon. North Corktown is the oldest neighborhood in Detroit, once settled by Irish immigrants. The church was known as a place of refuge for many seeking spiritual sustenance, and continues to fulfill that role today.

text: So I was looking in my Google maps app for a couple of minutes then my notification bar randomly popped up saying task manager alert with a percentage going up and down ranging between 70 and 95% CPU usage. I find that amount to be an extreme amount of CPU usage. I click on the notification and it brings me to my list of running applications and there is about 7 running applications with a small amount of memory usage which I find normal because this is the settings automatically remembered for the phone to run these particular apps smoother.....but next to the list of running apps the CPU usage for each one said 0%.......I'm concerned with what that task manager alert means....if you have had experience with this help would be appreciated thank you.

I was intrigued looking at this Sparkfun product so I pulled out my multi-meter and measured resistance through water. Result: it's an open circuit. Ok so the product uses a digital TTL on/off (HIGH/LOW) signal to detect the water but the effect of the water must either increase or decrease conductivity for the Attiny MCU to detect a switching state change and that doesn't seem to be happening so does anyone know the theory for this circuit?
I've ordered one to try it out but how is it detecting the water? Thanks!

Re: Sparkfun H20hno! Theory of Operation
Measure again! I get 500KOhm with my tapwater. And that is with my test pins about an inch apart. But your's might differ based on the water hardness. In voltage mode it won't measure anything. (not even with a current, pun intended) So yeah, that could seem like an open circuit.Result: it's an open circuit.
Simple! Look it up in the sourcecode on Github:I've ordered one to try it out but how is it detecting the water?
https://github.com/sparkfun/H2OhNo/blob ... H2OhNo.ino
At power up it sets one pin high and the other as analog input. Then does a number of analog measurements on that pin and averages it. So basically it comes down to the resistance of water versus air. In water the analog voltage will be close to the high voltage level. But in air the input pin will be floating (no pun intended this time) so wobbling around half of supply voltage. You could also say that the water acts as a pull-up resistor. That happens in setup function.
In loop, it first goes to sleep. And wakes up when the watchdog timer 'barks' to continue the run through the loop function. It does a water check by doing a single analog measurement. Calculates the difference to the start-up average and alarm goes of if it is beyond a certain level. Also sends result to the serial port. Alarm goes of if water is removed. And at the end of the loop it prepares for sleep again.

Birmingham City are reportedly one of the teams keen on signing Scunthorpe United attacking midfielder Josh Morris in January - but what do we know about the League One goal-scoring sensation?
Aidan McCartney takes a closer look at the third tier's leading goalscorer.
Career so far
Morris started his career at Blackburn Rovers but failed to make the breakthrough into the first-team.
The left-winger was released at the end of 2014/15 season and signed for Bradford following two successful loan spells with Fleetwood Town.
But he only made 16 appearances, scoring once for the Bantams before he was snapped up by former Cod Army boss Graham Alexander on a free transfer in the summer.
The move to Glanford park has seen the 25-year-old realise his true potential with 15 goals this season, beating his previous entire career total.
He's also provided five assists to the EFL's top scorers and won consecutive League One player of the month awards for August and September
Style of play
Morris appears to have all the qualities required to be a success in the Championship. He can play in a number of positions, comfortable in central midfield while he has played at left-back in his career.
Goals have come from everywhere this season. From stunning 30-yard efforts, free-kicks and penalties, Morris has been a revelation at Glanford Park.
He's a hard-working intelligent midfielder who has pace, skill and a finish to match.
Morris wasn't signed for his goalscoring prowess but he clearly believes in his ability and isn't afraid to let fly from anywhere, often drifting in from the wing to find space.
Watch some of his goals below.
Chances of it happening
Blues have previous in snapping up the best talents from League One after recruiting Che Adams from Sheffield United in the summer and could swoop again for the in-form attacking midfielder.
Morris still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract at Glanford Park and Iron chairman Peter Swann has made clear that Morris won't be sold in January.
With well-backed Scunny flying high at the top of League One and the comparable riches of the Championship at stake it does seem unlikely that he will leave.
However, every player has their price and the Blues might need to enter a mutl-million pound bidding war to land the classy midfielder during the winter.

You've likely heard that there is all sorts of M&A activity these days. That's mergers and acquisitions, and that means business is good if you're a corporate attorney.
Remember those raises to $180,000 for first-year associates, led by Cravath? They're being driven primarily by large corporate deals.
In corporate law, attorneys also deal with issuing securities and all the other transactions that come with business growth. Corporate teams at law firms are growing, Robert Half Legal reports. There are also more in-house legal jobs to handle the everyday corporate issues, including regulations. (Compliance is another hot area to consider.)
Outside counsel may be hired for specialized legal work, and they're seeing bigger and bigger paychecks. According to the CounselLink report, outside counsel fees spent on M&A transactions both in 2014 and in 2015 were more than twice those reported in 2012.
PayScale's analysis found attorneys in corporate, business and M&A law could see a pay rate 8 percent higher than the median.
The CounselLink study reported that 72 percent of M&A transactions were done by firms with more than 500 lawyers. The report attributed the high pay in M&A law to high demand, high lawyer rates and a high percentage of partner hours.
"As demand for M&A expertise has grown, those partners with significant experience in this practice have been able to command higher rates," the report said. The 90th percentile partner rate grew from $903 per hour in 2012 to $1,032 per hour three years later. The median partner rate in M&A was $629 per hour.
The report also found that median partner rates in the areas of corporate, general and tax (separate from mergers and acquisitions) increased more than 4 percent in the past year.
Of course, corporate law is an area with high ups and downs.
"Corporate law is really at the mercy of what's going on in the economy," Fontaine said. "If there are no deals going on, then attorneys aren't making a whole lot."
Keep your fingers crossed that business keeps booming.
"I wish we had a crystal ball," Volkert said. "Anything can happen in the market."
Fortunately, there is a bright spot. When the M&A side dries up, bankruptcy and litigation practices tend to get busier.
"Outside some significant market recession, I would anticipate those three being in high demand," Volkert said.

This is a transition year, as our long time New Member Chair LaVonne Tarbox Crone retired from this position at the end of the Fall Convention. She began as New Member Chair in 2003 and has brought over 450 new members into WSO during her time as Chair. She is turning the job over to me but not without a lot of "How can I give this up!" and "Now, this is how it needs to be done." I only hope I can live up to her standards!
With LaVonne's careful oversight and leadership, we approved WSO membership privileges to 44 artists at the Fall Convention. These artists vary in levels of expertise, technique and style; and, not surprisingly, come from rural and urban areas all over mid and western Oregon. We will have a slide presentation of their images at the Spring Convention in Albany, and we will also welcome them at a special New Member Reception on Friday evening April 5, 2013. Their name badges will be especially noted to indicate they are New WSO Members. Make a point to say "Hello."
Please look at the list in this newsletter to see who lives in your area. Invite them to a critique, to coffee, to your studio or to visit your favorite gallery. We want to be sure that they feel welcome and become a vital part of this Society.

Read The Sundays Part I and Part II
Yea though it be a Herculean feat to walk through the valley of getting ready for and getting through church every Sunday morning, God is with me. It can be hard, very hard some weeks, but it is worth the work, no, vital to continue in the work.
Yes, I blow it 5 or 6 times every Sunday and find it difficult to not just throw in the towel. Sometimes I have said to myself, "Well there's no point in going now, you don't deserve to even darken the door!" and "Well! If they want to make it this hard to go we'll just stay home!"

|I am not the biggest fan of this band, but I will say at least they did not try too hard for their image. They had a few songs which were decent and enjoyable, and are all round a passable band.

Milton, Shelly, and Coleridge John Milton, Percy Shelley, and Samuel Coleridge are widely known as some of the greatest poets of their age. During this period, known as the Romantic Age, poets typically wrote about nature. Milton, who can be compared to Stevie Wonder, wrote before the romantic age, yet still has the same qualities. Coleridge, who can be compared to Robert Downey Jr., wrote the basic rules of romantic writers. Percy Shelley, who was one of the last romantic writers, can be compared to Madonna. Milton, Shelley, and Coleridge all have different views and can compare to three creative people today.
Milton was born in London on December 9, 1608. One of the " Greatest poets of the English language"� (Rudnytsky 1), Milton ranks only second to Shakespeare among English poets. Milton is best known for "Paradise Lost"�, which is generally regarded as the greatest epic poem in the English Language.
John Milton can be compared to Stevie Wonder because Milton was blind as Stevie Wonder also was. While Milton has written some of the greatest poems of all time, Stevie Wonder has also written some of the greatest songs of all time. John Milton died on November 8,1674.
Originally named Steveland Judkins, Stevie Wonder was born blind and raised in inner city Detroit. Considered a child music prodigy, he was a skilled musician by eight years old and made his first recording at the age of twelve. He wrote some of what were considered the greatest rock songs of all time including "Superstition"�. As he became Mahan 2 older his music changed and he faded out of rock, while Milton also faded in his poetic works as he became older. Both Milton and Wonder overcame obstacles of a sightless existence to achieve success.
Samuel Coleridge began his writing career early in 1794 when he entered Jesus College in Cambridge. Coleridge was most known for "Kubla Khan"� and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"� (Shilstone 1). In 1798, Coleridge became pre-occupied with political issues. Eventually drug addiction took over his life and he began using opium to help his depression. Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel Coleridge share a resemblance in what they did to their careers. Self destruction took over for both of them.
Robert Downey Jr. is an actor who once was considered the most versatile of his generation. He first started his career as a regular on Saturday Night Live in 1985. Soon after, he went on to star in movies such as Weird Science, Natural Born Killers, Bowfinger, Less than Zero, and was also nominated for an Oscar for his starring role in Chaplin. However, starting in 1996, Downey Jr. became addicted to drugs, mostly cocaine. In a 20/20 Interview in 1998, Downey said he first tried drugs when he was only 10. Downey seems to be going through the same type of depression that Coleridge went through during his rough years. Their gifts and talents were overshadowed by their addictions.
Percy Shelley was born on August 4, 1792, in Sussex. In Shelly's early years, he first "eloped"� (Shelley 1) with Harriet Westbrook. They ran away and lived together.
However in 1814, he abandoned her and ran away with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin.
Mahan 3 They were married in 1816 and had three children. Two of the children died in infancy.
Shelley can be compared to the singer Madonna because of the similar social lives they led. On July 8, 1822, Shelley drowned while sailing a ship (Shelley 1).
Madonna may have sold more records in the world than any female singer before her. She has had countless hits and platinum albums. Some of this stardom may have to do with her shocking social life. She has been married and divorced, then had a baby with her personal fitness trainer. In the 1980's, she commonly wore revealing clothes at her concerts and ticket sales increased. Shelley's poetic works increased in sales after scandals with Harriet Westbrook. Success followed both of these people in spite of their rebellious life style.
These three romantic writers had views that differed and varied widely. John Milton and Stevie Wonder overcame a huge disability that was beyond their control to show their talents. Samuel Coleridge and Robert Downey Jr. were faced with a mental disability and allowed it to overcome them and ruin their personal success. Percy Shelley and Madonna had an often times deviant and rebellious approach to life, which helped propel them to success. Many creative people often waste their talents by the lives they lead while others have found great success by the lives they lead in a more positive way.

Last time I wrote that I would be bringing in a new addition, and here we are…
Drosera Capensis Alba
This beautiful contraption uses a sticky dew to catch its prey – as you see from above it is quite popular amongst the local flies.
It differs from other carnivorous plants in this way so it can take advantage of the dew that sweeps across our gardens each morning, however, I read online that leaving in direct sunlight too long can essentially "dry out" the plant. This is something I'll have to monitor over the next few days so any advice you may have could prove vital.
It joins both Hector (Venus Fly Trap) and Henrietta (Nepenthes) on my balcony outside, although I may move the Drosera Capensis to another pot to avoid any weight or "overcrowding" issues.
Unlike other Drosera Capensis, the Alba variety is given this name because it keeps its lush green colour. As a result, I feel Jessica can be the only befitting name (there was also Jordi but you may not be familiar with him) for this carnivore.
As an insect becomes trapped in this sticky fluid, the plant will slowly begin to curl and close in on the prey. Above you can see this fly has just landed – in fact, if I could upload a video I would because it's still alive and moving!
You can see the curvature at the top of the image (which I can just about count 4 flies) as this begins to close. None of the arms are at a fully curved stage so I'll watch closely and ensure I get greater images for the next blog.
In terms of watering, treat it like other carnivores in the sense of giving it distilled water. I read that eventually Drosera Capensis produces flowers so it will not require too much watering – just keep the soil damp and you should be ok. Budding botanists online have advised that these are some of the easiest carnivores to look after!

A friend once said that if you throw enough putty at the wall, something's bound to stick! Well, here's some unedited putty.
I'd been practicing nursing for 20+ years when I was diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia and there was a nasty bout with previously well-controlled epilepsy. I needed to stop working, stop practicing my chosen profession of nursing.
I began freelance writing to occupy my time and found instant success and satisfaction; hey, I had my own byline and received pay, (albeit poor), for articles! This was life affirming, and at the same time invalidated feelings of low self-esteem because I was no longer able to work in nursing.
Several years later, a new clinical editor was unable to increase my compensation for a column that I was editing, so she called to offer me a place on the magazine's masthead instead. However, before doing that, she needed to do a routine background check and call me back.
I'll never forget that telephone call. "Were you aware that your license is no longer active?" I hemmed and hawed a bit, then then realized the unpleasant truth. I had moved from one state to another and planned to apply for reciprocity in my new state – but forgot.
I felt naked and numb all at the same time. This license was part of my identity! As a result of my forgetfulness to renew my license, I was stripped of a title (RN) although no one could take away my degree (BSN).
In spite of the fact that I believe once you're a nurse you're always a nurse, I'm no longer registered and I can't say that I belong to that larger collective of Registered Nurses. I'm not like 'one of you' anymore. I never thought that losing a license could make me feel so small and so humble and insignificant.
As a working RN with well-controlled epilepsy -at the moment- I feel for you, I live with the knowledge that one day that may change, and I will no longer be able to be an RN! I wish I had writing skills to fall back on. I too,I guess would want to keep my license current, even if I couldn't use it.
Maybe I should start looking into a 2nd profession,but this is all I know,
As a nurse with a mental illness, I worry all the time about the time when I will finally have to use my long-term disability and stop working. My recent hospitalization scared the hell out of me–so much of my identity is tied up in being a nurse. I truly feel for you, and wish I had something more profound to say…
I believe in none of the above. Once a nurse, always a nurse.
And I'm sure there has to be someone you can contact or connect to some channels of information that could assist you with reinstating your RN.
Best of luck my fellow nurse.
I chose to renew mine as inactive and it was a really hard decision to make even though I knew I was leaving the profession. And still every year when I get my new license in a different color, it feels weird. I still think of myself as an RN, just not a practicing one. Maybe I'll say I took early retirement from nursing. :)
I'm sorry you were unable to renew your license. I have maintained my RN license in the state which I was first licensed.
I was wondering if you would consider exchanging links? Thanks

I host Megatouch support documents and provide service for their machines. I am a hobbyist who enjoys working on (and playing) Megatouch systems. All information on this website is copyrighted by its original owner (typically AMI/Merit) and is provided for educational/historical purposes.
If you need help getting your machine to run, feel free to use the form below for free (yes, free) support.
I also offer full service Megatouch repair if you are able to get your machine to me. I am located in Cincinnati, OH, and have another contact near Philadelphia, PA.

An Interest list has been started at AtariAge by member Dethfactor to put together a limited cart only version of Desert Bus 2600. If successful, there might be a boxed version available at a later time.
The Price is still TBD and estimated to be released by early October 2013.
Each copy will come with a flyer off upcoming titles and an air freshener!
