Is Social Media Fair to Our Kids?
I still remember the photo of my boyfriend as a handsomely half-dressed 4-year-old cowboy on the display board outside our senior class banquet. Thankfully, he had the same sense of humor as his parents and got a hearty chuckle out of the whole thing. A few of our friends weren't as entertained by the embarrassing photographs of themselves.
Now that I have my own kids, I realize that the parents probably snapped the photos of their kids like I do with mine now, on the spur of the moment when they're overwhelmed with the hilarity and cuteness and want to treasure it always. And the images captured are some of their fondest memories.
Back then, those snapshots were kept in a photo album or box, tucked away on a bookshelf or cabinet, only brought out during holidays or on special occasions, like a college graduation. The silly videos were watched every now and then, when families gathered to reminisce.
RELATED: I Refuse to Put My Kids on Facebook
But now, they're instantly sent to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, or posted on a blog or Tumblr for the world to see. They're tagged, sometimes even SEO'd, then sent to YouTube to be played by hundreds, or maybe thousands, of complete strangers.
I'm the first to admit that it's easy to become an oversharer in the age of social media, where likes and retweets give us validation. We commiserate with others about the cuteness or ridiculousness (and everything in between) and it makes us feel like we're normal. Sometimes it does more, like give us attention and notoriety, even fame.
But as my kids get older and the more public all our lives become, the more vigilant I am about what I share and post. Mostly, I wonder what they will think about all this when they're adults, when the funny photos of them can be Googled by their employers.
What's sweet and lovely, or seemingly safe and harmless, might not be to them a few years down the road.
And because they are more aware of their own appearance, they're in tune with how others see and perceive them. And they're conscious of how they exist within a social setting: the norms, the expectations.
It's thrilling. And scary.
So I have to ask myself, will they have the same sense of humor that my ex boyfriend had about the innocent photo when it's posted on the world's bulletin board? The sad truth is that what's sweet and lovely, or seemingly safe and harmless, might not be to them a few years down the road.
RELATED: Is Mommy Blogging Making Me a Bad Mom?
As much as I love the likes, retweets and shares that a photo gets, or the viral potential a video might have, I want to be sure I won't have to apologize for my actions later on. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a perfect parent, and I'm quite certain I'll have a few things to make up for when my kids get older.
But if it's something I can knowingly prevent, lately I'm erring on the side of being extra cautious, and allowing them the freedom to create their own public persona without any help from me.

GCC Students to Study in Iceland and Ireland!
A Documentation of Culture
BATAVIA, NY (12/18/2017) Genesee Community College is excited to announce the addition of a new study abroad opportunity to the 2018 ten-week summer session course list. This program will consist of online course material and lecture and culminates in a twelve-day trip to both Iceland and Ireland.
The faculty-led trip will integrate Digital Photography (PHO118) and Sociology (SOC102) into an educational and inspiring exploration to compare European and American cultures and social observations and capturing them through the lens of the camera. Exposure to the daily European life and the images they will document are invaluable learning tools for understanding cultural differences and creating a better future for themselves and others.
GCC faculty members Josephine Kearney, assistant professor of Sociology and Human Services and Heather Jones, associate professor of Fine Arts will guide the students during their excursion from June 19 through June 30, 2018 (exact travel dates may change). While traveling, they will visit many historic landmarks including The Book of Kells, Trinity College, Dublin Castle and Blue Lagoon. They will also get to witness the breathtaking volcanic landscapes and geo-thermal pools of the region.
"We look forward to another excellent summer traveling and exploring the Icelandic and Irish cultures on our journey," Jones said.
The trip costs $4,790 per participant and includes all flights and public transportation, hotel stays, breakfast and dinner each day and scheduled guided events. Tuition for the six college credits is not included and is to be paid separately. Financial Aid is available for eligible students for course tuition.
The trip is limited to 20 participants, so interested students or community members are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. Additional information on the study abroad program is available at https://www.genesee.edu/home/academics/study-abroad/icelandireland/
"A study abroad experience transforms the lives of the students forever," Kearney added.
Applications are being accepted until March 31, 2018. To participate in the study abroad program, contact Associate Professor of Fine Arts Heather Jones at (585) 343-0055 ext. 6448, or via email: firstname.lastname@example.com or Assistant Professor of Sociology & Human Services Josephine Kearney at (585) 343-0055 ext. 6344 or via email: email@example.com.

Perfect Picture Book Friday - Bear Has a Story to Tell
Welcome to Perfect Picture Book Friday! I hope this post will be a help to those who love picture books and want to share them with their own children or those they teach.
Written by: Philip C. Stead
Illustrated by: Erin E. Stead
Roaring Book Press 2012
Fiction for ages 3 to 8
Themes: patience, friendship, animals
Opening and brief synopsis:
It was almost winter and Bear was getting sleepy.
Bear is getting sleepy, but before he falls asleep, he has a story to tell. He tries to tell his friends Mouse, Duck and Frog, but they are all too busy preparing for winter. Will Bear be patient enough to wait until Spring? And if he does, will he remember his story that he wants to share?
Why I like this book:
In the same vein as A Sick Day for Amos McGee (see my post from last fall), Philip and Erin Stead have created another wonderfully quiet book with characters children will love. Last fall I attended an evening with the Steads and learned about their creative process, especially how Erin illustrated Amos McGee. The time and effort she puts into her illustrations just amazes me!
A book trailer can be found here.
Lesson plans and activities involving hibernation can be found here and here.
Perfect Picture Book Friday is a wonderful idea started by Susanna Leonard Hill. For other "Just Right" books, visit her blog.

CoffeeScript, a programming language that lets you output JavaScript with cleaner code, is barely two years old but it's already exciting developers. I hadn't heard of it until I got a copy of CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development by Trevor Burnham, from The Pragmatic Programmers line of books "by developers for developers." I could tell right away that Trevor is a decent developer and has the chops to write a book like this—his grasp of JavaScript, JavaScript frameworks and of course CoffeeScript is solid. His writing style is also fairly clean and easy to follow, which is important for a book like this that covers a language not everyone has experienced.
CoffeeScript is basically a primer for the CoffeeScript language: you'll learn the basics of the language and also dive into some very basic chapters on jQuery and Node.js, but there's a lot more to learn that you will have to find on your own. This isn't necessarily a bad thing—some of my best learning experiences have been spurred by small, lean books—but this is probably not the complete reference on CoffeeScript.
I also should point out that CoffeeScript is not JavaScript. CoffeeScript is compiled and translated into JavaScript after the coding process, which lets you work with the cleaner CoffeeScript syntax throughout your project. Ruby and Python programmers will appreciate CoffeeScript more than the typical JavaScript and jQuery programmer. I happen to be one of the latter more than the former, so I read this book from that perspective. Fortunately, CoffeeScript clearly explains how to work with CoffeeScript from the initial installation, which some books sometimes fail to do.
The hands-on work done in CoffeeScript comes from a game project that Trevor builds and improves from chapter to chapter. I like smaller, in-chapter projects as well as larger projects that span over multiple chapters, but sometimes the code didn't seem very clean or easy to follow. Maybe some more pages devoted to writing and explaining the code would have helped, or perhaps the larger project could have been replaced with some smaller ones. There's a few ways Trevor could rework the code and make it easier to learn.
I really enjoyed reading CoffeeScript and would like to branch out into using CoffeeScript more to improve my code production. I'm looking for other books to take me further down the learning path, but the book has provided me a fine head start.

text: I got a Samsung Galaxy 5 today and started it up. It worked fine at first, but after I initially connected it to the computer and started keis, it said it was connected and I had the option of transferring files. Things seemed to work fine until I disconnected, then the phone started locking up once it was not in use. I tried removing the battery (as suggested here) and that worked the first time, now it seems to be totally dead. I cannot get it to power up regardless of how I try (removed battery and let it sit a while, plugged into wall charger, plugged into computer, nothing). Is there anything to do to get this phone to power up? I have not downloaded any apps yet or done any other upgrades. HELP!

Okay, I'm not sure if you have seen this or not but every time I hear Chicken Tetrazzini, I think of this Clip from the Soup. It kills me every single time and Mr. Schwartz and I love to go back in forth with our Chicken Tetrazzini comments. Oh you best believe I'm going to keep my man with my Chicken Tetrazzini.
Anyway, I really took the easy way out with this one, cream of soup baby. To be honest, this is the first Chicken Tetrazzini I have ever made so I really have nothing to compare it to but its pretty stinking tasty. And might I add insanely easy to throw together--you probably have everything in your fridge/pantry right now. I came home from running errands on Sunday afternoon and every last noodle of this was gone--Mr. Schwartz, Chicken Tetrazzini and football had a little date while I was out.
Someday I'll make the real version...until then, enjoy this cheaters (ha, get it watch the video) version of Chicken Tetrazzini.
Musical Selection: She Ain't Right by Lee Brice. Mr. Schwartz says this song is about me...I say I'm not thaaat crazy. But it's still pretty sweet.
I was planning on having this for lunch today but turns out Mr. Schwartz had other plans. Oh the patients I have.
Ps. This is my 100th post, yay!
Cheater Chicken Tetrazzini
1 Cup button mushrooms, diced
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Pound spaghetti noodles, cooked to just shy of al dente (less than done)
3 Cooked chicken breasts, cubed
1 Can cream of chicken soup (fat free is good)
1 8oz container of sour cream (fat free is good)
1 Teaspoon black pepper
1/2 Teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons dried parsley
1/2 Cup (or so) of the cooking water for the noodles
1 1/2 Cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Saute the mushrooms in a small pan with the butter. Set aside once golden brown on the edges.
Cook the pasta until just shy of al dente. The pasta will continue to cook in the oven. Reserve a bit of the cooking water to thin the sauce.
Combine the cooked chicken, pasta, mushrooms, soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, and parsley in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Thin the sauce a bit, with maybe a 1/2 of a cup of the noodle cooking water. Pour mixture into a greased (sprayed) baking dish.
Top with cheeses. Bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbly. If you desire, broil for two minutes to turn the top golden brown.
Top with additional parsley.

The new online health insurance marketplaces, brought to you courtesy of the Affordable Care Act, were a mess on Tuesday. Many people labored for hours to get a look at the products available, and some never succeeded at all.
This is great news, but not for the folks who want to derail the Obamacare "train wreck." What it shows is a pent-up demand from people seeking affordable insurance.
In Kentucky, which designed its own exchange and has actively promoted it, the KyNet website had received 24,000 visitors and processed 1,000 applications before the site crashed around 8:30 a.m., according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
In Washington, which also has its own exchange, officials reported that 3,356 customers had created accounts to shop for a plan by 3 p.m., and 398 had completed their applications.
States that designed their own marketplaces seemed to fare better than those, like Missouri and Kansas, that opted to let the Department of Health and Human Services set up their exchanges. Most people trying to take a look at the products in Missouri and Kansas were thwarted by technical difficulties.
The refusal of Republican officials in both those states to create their own exchanges is definitely turning into a liability. Missourians, in particular, have been given very little information about the process. That's because state officials are handcuffed by a law forbidding them to take any steps establishing or promoting an exchange without the permission of the legislature. In Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback returned a $31.5 million grant to the federal government that would have been used to design a marketplace unique to Kansas.
Last week, in Missouri, a legislative committee was discussing ways to "transform" Medicaid, possibly by having recipients purchase insurance on the statewide exchange. That approach is drawing a lot of attention to Arkansas. But, as experts told lawmakers, Arkansas has its own exchange, which makes it easier to be innovative than using the federal template.
Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who is now the secretary of Health and Human Services, told reporters she hoped the insurance exchanges would receive the same leeway that consumers grant Apple when it rolls out a new product.
Here's a report from UPI.com: "Sebelius observed that iPhone users don't ordinarily consider such glitchy rollouts as the end of the world, or the failure of the iPhone. "Everyone just assumes 'well there's a problem, they'll fix it,'" she said. "We're building a complicated piece of technology, and hopefully you'll give us the same slack you give Apple."
Not a chance, Madam Secretary.
On Twitter, U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri was calling the rollout _ you guessed it _ a train wreck. "Today's poor rollout of #ObamaCare exchanges proves this law is not ready for prime time," Blunt tweeted.
But Sebelius is right. The glitches are expected and they will be fixed over time. But it's going to get harder and harder for Republicans to claim that Americans don't want anything to do with the Affordable Care Act.

Over the long weekend, Ubisoft announced season two of For Honor with a series of short CGI teaser trailers. The content update is called Shadow and Might, and brings two new heroes to the multiplayer fray, namely the Roman Centurion, and the ninja-inspired Shinobi. Hit the jump for all the trailers, and absolutely no ranting about historical accuracy. Nope, none of that at all…
The first trailer is just a teaser, with no indication of gameplay. It shows off the name, and some sweet artwork that deserves to be airbrushed on a cool dude's van.
The next two teasers are brief, but give a decent snapshot overview of the new heroes. The Shinobi will be a light and nimble fighter equipped with dual kusarigama (sickles on chains). Props must be given to Ubisoft for having the restraint to not equip him with a ninjato, a sword that is an invention of cinema, and mistakenly believed to be historical.
The Centurion is obviously based on Roman fighters, with suitable weapons and armour. The teaser shows him to be a slightly tanky heavy hitter, equipped with a gladius and sh… wait. Where's his shield? Romans were famous for using shields! How's he supposed to block anything with his teensy sword? I get that For Honor has firmly placed itself in fantasy territory, but a Roman without a shield is a dead Roman! Furthermore, that mask is unsuited for infantry combat, and more typical of Roman cavalry training gear, and… wait! Come back! Here's the trailer!
For Honor: Shadow and Might launches on 16 May for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. While season pass holders get the Shinobi and Centurion for free, other players will need to unlock them with in-game Steel. Check out our review by Gareth Runnalls for more details.

Another Grim Milestone… Obama Adds $5 Tillion to US National Debt
On July 3, 2008 — the day before Independence Day — Barack Obama said that adding $4 trillion in debt was irresponsible and "unpatriotic.
Then what does adding $5 trillion in debt make you?
Barack Obama has added $5 trillion to the US national debt in a little over three years.
CNS News reported:
In the 39 months since Barack Obama took the oath of office as president of the United States, the federal government's debt has increased by $5,027,761,476,484.56.
Although he has served less than a term, Obama is now the first American president to see the federal government's debt increase by more than $5 trillion during his time in office.
During the full eight years that George W. Bush served as president, the federal government's debt increased by $4,899,100,310,608.44. (Rising from $5,727,776,738,304.64 to $10,626,877,048,913.08.)
The $5,027,761,476,484.56 that the debt has increased during Obama's presidency equals $16,043.39 for every one of the 313,385,295 people the Census Bureau now estimates live in the United States.

A century ago in 1918, women over 30 gained the right to vote. In the week of International Women's Day, Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival showcases the plays written by women specifically to support the cause of women's suffrage. A cast of actors from Gateshead and the surrounding area perform live extracts from these little-heard plays.
From a factory worker who mistakenly goes to an anti-suffrage meeting and can't stop herself speaking out, to a titled Lady seeking her friend's help in writing an anti-suffrage speech only to be constantly interrupted by a stream of highly qualified and articulate women, the plays are funny, touching and surprising. There were over 400 women playwrights in Britain from 1900- 1920 and, in 1908, the Actresses' Franchise League and Women Writers' Suffrage League were both formed specifically to help the campaign for votes for women.
Introduced by Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough from Durham University, the background to the plays will be discussed by Naomi Paxton a researcher for 'What Difference Did the War Make? World War One and Votes for Women', which is part of Parliament's Vote 100 project. They are joined by Diane Atkinson, the historian, biographer and author of Rise up, Women!: The Remarkable Lives of the Suffragettes.
For your information…
- Phase one tickets will be available from 12noon on Monday 5 February, with phase two tickets available from 12noon on Monday 19 February.

Project Midnight (PT:8)
Part 8 of my ford probe project!
Got the interior put back in!
Then came the fun stuff… Time to install the sound!
I went with some pioneer 6.5's that I had laying around up front and then I had a set of pioneer 6×9's in boxes that I put in the trunk so when I pop the trunk I can set them up and have a nice tailgate system!
I paired those with a pioneer cd player I had from my old car and a set of 12″ Powerbass subs and an 800 watt mono powerbass amp. I can shake the hell out of this car or turn it down and have just the right amount of bass
Project Midnight (PT:7)
Pulled the interior out of both cars tonight…
Here is the 95 stripped…
As you can see the previous owners did not take to much care in the interior of the carNo comments
Project Midnight (PT:6)
Got the dash back in
And got the bumper back on so I can drive it again!
No comments
Project Midnight (PT:5)
Got the doors and fenders on (hood just sitting in place)
Right before I put the passenger side fender on
What my Shiftboot looked like prior to my fiance hand stitching a new one
Dash out!
Got the wires run for my power locks and windows because the car did not originally have them
I had to splice in all 20 wires into new door plugs so that it would work properly
Shot of the 9 wires routed up next to the firewall
All the wires sitting on the drivers side waiting to be patched into the ignition and 12v constant… Gotta install the power door lock relay also -.-
Ripped the Gray() Dash out and now its ready for me to put the black (with red stripe) dash from a 93 into it.. Gotta sell the airbag to make up some of the funds I have wasted
Tomorrow I try and finish up the wires and put the dash back together!No comments
Project Midnight (PT:4)
Fender and doors on
Dash pulled to fix the wires for the doors and replace with black dash with red stripe!
My fiance is starting to make my custom shift boot…
Here is my hand stitched shift boot…
No comments
Project Midnight (PT:3)
Came home from work and started in on the probe again
Got most of the parts I need off of the 93 (still gotta get the bumper itself and the interior but wanted to get the 95 started)
this is my 1995 ford probe the way I bought it… rough shape :S
Another shot… Someone spray bombed it red from its original purple color
The interior is mostly trashed there are some saveable parts that I will sell tho
Got it up on the stands and started removing the fenders
I ended up getting one of doors and fenders replaced before realizing that the quick connects for the door wires on the 95 were burnt where the previous owner shorted out something. So I am going to pull the dash on both cars and replace that whole section if its even possible.
I'll normally recommend younger drivers to give Pass Plus a go – extra tuition and cheap car insurance? No brainer if you ask me!No comments
Project Midnight (PT:2)
Got the fenders off tonight… Next up taking the doors off
Pile of parts on and around the 93
No comments
Rebuilding the probe… Project Midnight (PT:1)
Ok so my fiance has had a 93 probe for a while and I have put lots of time into fixing this car under the assumption that we would be able to get a rebuilt title for it. Low and behold we are not able to. So its time to buy another!
Tomorrow or friday I will be picking up my 95 5 speed 4cyl probe and fix it up!
My current probe is black with a black interior
The new one was purple then someone painted it red with cheap paint and I am going to sand it down clean it up and paint it black also.
Somewhere along the way the 95 also had the front and rear bumpers removed.
That is where my 93 comes in. I am removing the front and rear bumpers as well as the hood and front fenders and putting them on the 95 (god I hope it all fits right ) and then painting it all black.
Then I am going to swap out the grey interior on the 95 with the black from the 93 just because the 93 has a nicer interior and I like black
Anyone ready for the pictures of the 93 being taken down into pieces?
The 93 in the yard just collecting rust
In the garage about to be stripped
Hood off now for that pesky bumper!
Got the bumper off!
Now for the tail lights
Rear bumper cover?
Rear Bumper?
Hey look a pile of probe parts!
More pics to come when I pick up the 95
I still gotta remove the fenders alsoNo comments

Most people have no idea what it takes to do website design right. Are you looking for a job in the world of website development or are you simply trying to create a site? Use the information here to learn what is involved with a successful website.
If you're creating a website, you must look at it in more than one browser. It is always possible that what you are looking at on your preferred browser is not what others are looking at in a different browser of choice. Make sure to research the browsers available. You will want to have a person using a different computer operating system check on your site as well.
Make sure that every page on your website loads as quickly as possible. Not everyone who uses the Internet enjoys speedy connections, so they are likely to lose interest if your site takes a long time to load. If the wait is too long, your visitors may give up and leave.
Don't make your page sizes any larger than necessary. Not all Internet users have fast connection speeds, and the longer your site takes to load, the less interest they will have. You don't want your visitors to wait for a page to load.
Your front page should be simple. People who are shopping around decide quickly whether to use a site or continue searching by viewing the front page. Provide simple content on what you do and how to contact you.
Try researching keywords. While your main focus should always be on providing your customer with relevant and current information, you first need to work on gaining a customer base. To make sure that people find your website more easily, you'll need to learn what keywords are and how to use them effectively.
Don't lump all your topics together on one page. Put each topic on a different page. This can keep viewers from becoming confused, and it can help search engines better understand your site so that they can boost your rankings.
If you want your website to be more attractive, consider adding your own pictures. Pictures help make your website more user-friendly. Many people enjoy pictures.
A simple way to increase your sites attractiveness is to make use of pictures you have taken. Pictures can give your site a friendly feel. When people see a picture, they spend more time on the site and clicking to see more.
Eliminate pop-up windows from all pages on your site to create a user-friendly experience. The average user finds pop-up windows to be an annoying distraction, rather than something useful. Many visitors to your site may simply exit the site when faced with a pop-up. If this happens, they are unlikely to return.
Understand your subject. If you will be offering informational content, you need to have a firm grasp of your subject matter. Publishing inaccuracies and falsehoods will glean you a bad reputation, causing you to lose readers. Having a good blog involves having an education on your subject.
Try making separate CSS pages for different browsers with conditional loading when designing websites. The point of this is to keep maintenance easy and adds to ease of use during test periods. Every website needs some maintenance eventually, so you need things to be as easy as possible to make the necessary changes.
Other than the aesthetics of your site design, one of the most important things to consider is keeping all your file sizes to a minimum. This is because file sizes are directly correlated with load times. You want your website to load as quickly as possible. You should remember also that some visitors may not use an Internet connection that is high speed. Test each section of your site to ensure it loads rapidly for every visitor.
Reserve your name for a website now, if you have some ideas. Be original and choose a name that works well, but by reserving it ahead of time, you are assured that it is available when you want to use it. It may shock you how others could possibly come up with the same domain name, but it happens countless times and you want what will work best for traffic and not settle for second best. It's like everyone is connected or something similar.
Pop-up windows are one feature you should avoid. Though there are some uses for pop-ups, they are often considered an annoyance. As a result, your users may just go away from your site, too angry to come back.
While you may see other strategies and designs that you like, it is important to remain inventive when you are designing your website. Come up with interesting new design elements and website features. Don't be afraid to also improve on features that are considered best practices, however. This is essential for you if you hope to be the best designer you can be.
Which file formats you use for graphics is key to user satisfaction. Generally, JPEGs and GIFs are the best graphics. While BMP and PNG files might be better for creating web graphics, these file types tend to use significantly more disk space. Convert to smaller sizes to make visitors happy.
Work on your time management skills when developing a website if you hope to get it done in a timely fashion. There are a ton of jobs involved, so you can't procrastinate. The next thing you know, the simple things you waited to finish become overwhelming because there are so many left to do. Complete those tasks as they show up.
The next time you design a website, consider using conditional loading in conjunction with independent CSS pages. These two things make maintenance and testing simpler. Simplicity is key to success.
If you plan to design more than a single site, learn to work with several different platforms. There are many technologies, including Java, PHP and MySQL, that can help you down the road. Be a designer of many talents, whether you are designing a brand new site, or just helping your friend start one.
Practice all you can. As you understand each little thing, give it a try. This will ensure that you are using the information you learn. You don't want to move deep into your site's design and realize too late that you don't understand something important.
Think like you're an artist when designing websites. Keep your mind open to inspiration at all times. If you have a good idea for your site while you're eating out, jot it down on a napkin. Even if you're busy with something else, at your job, for example, you can preserve a new idea by calling yourself and leaving a reminder on your voice mail.
Familiarize yourself with HTML5. Get ready to start learning how to use html5 if you are not yet familiar with it.
To be a good web designer it is important that you learn from many experienced people in this industry that you can. You need to do so in order to gain flexibility in the types of sites you can create.
Avoid using Captchas, except in the case of new user registration. CAPTCHAs annoy visitors because they have to complete some useless task just to get the information they want or post a comment. Chances are that only the avid fan will put up with typing a captcha, everyone else will move on to other websites.
Don't use Flash on your site. Despite it's visual appeal and features, it can be a problem when a website visitor's computer can't effectively use the feature. Remember that some cellphones and tablet PCs cannot use Flash, which might ruin a visitor's experience of your site, and they will stop coming to your site.
Ensure your web designs don't look similar to something already in your niche. It's easy to check this as all you would have to do is visit your competitor's website. Being similar to other websites won't set you apart. It will only serve to make you a diluted version of what someone else has already done.
If at all possible, you should set aside a significant block of time every day to devote to web design. Dedicate some time since this allows you to complete some work, instead of doing some here and there. Focusing on your web page design efforts means putting in research and effort. However, this will pay off by helping you commit what you have learned to memory.
As you design your website, be sure that someone other than yourself is helping you check its functionality as you go. Each time a new feature is created, have someone check it out and let you know their thoughts. You may think that a video that is slow to load is not really a hassle, but other people may feel differently. Always look to others for outside and unbiased opinions.
Don't overlook the power of inspiration from unusual sources in your website design. Ideas can come from all kinds of places, such as kid's projects and television. There are a lot of new ideas just waiting for you, and these can lead to a unique website that will have potential customers clamoring for your services.
Practice time management when building a site if you wish it to be completed any time soon. Website includes a ton of small tasks that could make you procrastinate. Soon, you will realize that these small tasks have added up and you will become overwhelmed. Keep up with the work as it arises.
Try using a favicon on your Internet site. These little images show up next to the link to your website if your visitors choose to bookmark it. Memorable favicons help you stand out when people look at their bookmarks. Brand your icon to match your logo and website.
Make sure your site is secure. It is probably wise to buy an SSL certificate if you accept credit card or PayPal payments on your site. Also, investigate any security features that your web host offers.
Social Media
Name your site something descriptive that reflects its content. Just for fun, look-up the search term "untitled document" on the web. It is highly likely that you will find this is commonly misunderstood. Do not fail to name your site. Search engines utilize titles in their algorithms, so do not get left out for simply not having a title.
One of the most important things a designer can do today is embrace social media when building a site, and add the necessary tools visitors need to like, link and share your content with others. This is extremely important as it is a way for your visitors to help build traffic to your site for you with little to no effort by alerting those they know of what you are offering. By adding social media functions to your site, you are giving yourself a marketing advantage that will offer unlimited growth opportunities.
Get inspiration from other websites to make your site even better. Take in all ideas and aspects you like, then blend them together with your own ideas.
You should now understand what is involved with creating and profiting from websites. Try everything you learned here, but don't stop! Keep learning in order to continue your success in website development!
If you are just starting with your website, save money by using grid or shared hosting instead of a dedicated service. That is because you don't know how many visitors your site will attract, and you want to avoid overpaying or underpaying before you have a good idea of what your hosting needs will be.

Dollar Tree and Charity Shops
Also in the basket was a can of peach halves - from South Africa. At first I said no, wrong country. Mainly because I have been trained to think only our food is good. That may have been true at one time, but not any more. So I checked out the ingredient label. The first ingredient was, in fact, peaches. The second ingredient was sugar. Real sugar. Not corn syrup or fructose, but real sugar. You bet I want that can of peaches in my cart.
Added to the cereal and peaches was chicken stock, a name brand package of feta cheese, and raisins.
I also checked out two charity shops for winter tops. Again, I did well, spending 9.00 for three long sleeve pull over shirts. The black one is a Ralph Lauren that sells for 48.00 online, the aqua shirt is an Architect which is listed for 22.00 online. Both of these tops cost1.99 each. The striped shirt was from Old Navy and cost the most at 4.99. Goodwill sells all of it's long sleeve shirts for 4.99. I went there first this time. The next time I will go to the other shop first. A lesson well learned.
Angie's Quick Organizational tip: If a task takes a few seconds to do, do it right then. Example: Putting away an item or washing up a knife. Your home will feel so much better to you with as few items out as possible.
4 comments:
Good purchases Angie. A good tip too, I am trying this with my sons.ReplyDelete
At the onset kids may buck the idea of a charity shop. But, once they're in there and can pick out lots of things, they get as excited as one of us does. Good luck!ReplyDelete

It is this, that I do not really understand about Dollar Tree shops: Do ALL articles cost only 1$ ? For instance a can of peaches costs the same as e.g. a kitchen cloth? Aren´t there articles for 2, 3 or 5 $ ? They could not sell a pair of trousers for justReplyDelete
1$, could they? In my opinion a good pullover from a charity shop can be a far better buy than a cheap new article.
That´s what I would prefere if I had to make the choice.
Anyway, we do not have this sort of shop where I live (maybe in greater German cities? I do not know.), but there are more
and more charity shops and similar. It´s also a great demand for that. Why buy a new article when you can get a used one
that´s in good (or even as new) condition!
Yes, all items are a dollar at the Dollar Tree. Some items are cheaply made, others are name brands that have been bought out from another chain.ReplyDelete

Much controversy has swirled around the man, Charles Darwin, and his revolutionary theories of evolution and the process of natural selection. Church leaders have both condemned and applauded the theory. So it is easy to see why so many Christians today are confused on the topic. In this and subsequent posts, I will take a look at the theory as well as differing theories it in an attempt to put the debate in plain language and draw some initial conclusions.
Charles Darwin: A Brief History
(much of this synopsis is drawn from articles by the BBC, the University of Tennessee, and other sources)
Darwin's Beginnings: Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12th, 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, in the United Kingdom. He was apart of a newly emerged, newly wealthy, and newly influential family. His grandfather on his mother's side was a china manufacturer named Josiah Wedgwood. His grandfather on his father's side was Erasmus Darwin, a leading intellectual of 18th century England. Darwin studied at Edinburgh University at first to follow his father in medicine, yet later switched to divinity and attended Cambridge.
Darwin witnessed the rich variety of animal life and the geological features of the Galapagos Islands
Aboard the HMS Beagle: In 1831, Charles Darwin joined the crew of the HMS Beagle for a five year scientific expedition. While on the voyage, Darwin witnessed the rich variety of animal life and the geological features of the Galapagos Islands, an island chain 500 miles west of South America. He noticed that each island had its own form of finch which were related, but adapted to the specific islands individual ecology.
Having Fun as a Celebrity: On returning to England in 1836, Darwin spent much of his time examining and disseminating the extensive collection of specimens from the voyage. He quickly established a reputation as an accomplished naturalist on the London scene. He also set to work on solving the riddles on how species evolve. He proposed a theory of evolution occurring by the process of natural selection.
Darwin Makes His Announcement: Darwin worked on his theory for 20 years. After learning that another naturalist working in south Asia, Alfred Russel Wallace, had developed similar ideas, and at the urging of friends, he prepared a brief paper. He and Wallace made a joint announcement in which each of their papers was read before the Royal Society in 1858. In 1859 Darwin published 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection'.
During the remainder of his life Darwin continued his research, publishing three additional books on evolution related topics. "The Origin of the Species' was extremely controversial, with Darwin himself being vigorously attacked by detractors. However, despite such fierce academic and social attacks, Natural Selection and Biological Evolution quickly gained currency and has become prevalent theory in the scientific community.
Darwin died on 19 April 1882 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
(much of this synopsis is drawn from articles by the Palomar College, the Wikipedia, and other sources)
When mainstream scientists speak of the theory of evolution, although they refer to it as a theory, they do not mean that it is a simple hypothesis. Most scientists regard evolution as a theory backed with proof just like the theory that the earth is round or that our bodies are made of atoms. As a result of the evidence that they feel they have for biological evolution, they have concluded that evolution is the mechanism by which life has grown and persisted on earth. Although there are pockets within the scientific community that dissent from the prevailing view, they are in the minority.
In the cultural landscape, the theory of evolution has had varying degrees of acceptance among religious, political, and scientific leaders in the last century and a half. As stated earlier, for most in the mainstream scientific community, it is the dominate theory and the only theory to really taken seriously. Among religious leaders in Christianity, however, there are few that take the theory of evolution wholesale. If it is to be considered in light of Scripture, it is accepted with some modifications.
For example, the Catholic view of evolution is that "Concerning biological evolution, the Church does not have an official position on whether various life forms developed over the course of time. However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him." For the Catholics and others, evolution is not a proof against God, but an explanation of His creative acts.
But for many Christians, such as most Fundamentalists and Evangelicals, evolution is in direct contradiction to a literal reading of the Creation Texts of Genesis One and Two. Since evolution takes millions of years to transpire, a six day creative process would simply not be enough time. In a statement of faith by the creationist website Answers in Genesis, they state, "The 66 books of the Bible are the written Word of God. The Bible is divinely inspired and inerrant throughout. Its assertions are factually true in all the original autographs. It is the supreme authority in everything it teaches. Its authority is not limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes but includes its assertions in such fields as history and science." (bold and italics mine) Thus the Creation account in Genesis One and Two, for them and others, are to be taken literally and serve as a guide for all scientific endeavor.
Natural Selection, as a theory by itself, is not in disagreement with any religious doctrine.
For those that disagree with the tenants of evolution, it is not that they disagree with all facets of the theory. Natural Selection, for example, states that traits of a particular mutation may prove beneficial or harmful to a species depending on environmental factors. If it is beneficial, the organism may live long enough to pass this mutation onto the next generation through procreation. Thus, through time, this mutation may spread and the mutation may become a dominant trait in the species. This is a process called Adaptation.
The problem for those in the Christian community is not the process of Natural Selection or Adaptation, but of Macro Evolution. For many Fundamentalist Christians, to say that a species can adapt to a point to which it no longer is considered the same species, is in direct contradiction with the teachings of the Bible. While other Christian traditions disagree with this assessment, it still remains a hot button issue with many Christians, both within single denominations and within interdenominational relations.
For most Christians, the major point of contention is that Biological Evolution states that life evolved from inorganic material from purely naturalistic means and diversity of life was brought about without any Intelligent manipulation. To hold to a purely naturalistic view of Biological Evolution is to take God out of the equation entirely. This is untenable to most Christians. But, for a small minority, their does exist a Deistic view, in which God is a grand clock maker that made the universe in the beginning and then let nature, as it where, take its course. They see little to no need for God to intervene with nature, but instead, remains completely detached from the process as Cosmic, Geologic, and Biologic Evolution takes its course.
This topic is not going away for the Christians. Biological Evolution has become orthodoxy for the scientific community. For those religious leaders that ignore its implications to their doctrine are doomed to a sneak attack of epic proportions. It is time to be informed and speak your views. I have tried to maintain a veneer of objectivity as I wrote the post in order to hear your thoughts and reactions. I will be using this post as a reference for later posts, but don't wait to tell me what you think. Take the poll and leave a comment, your voice counts.

Sutton Gallery's converted warehouse has an exciting series of experimental art projects scheduled throughout the year. An alternative to the conventional gallery space, the venue offers new possibilities for artists seeking to extend their exhibiting language and potential.
Invited artists are given space to try out new ideas and approaches that will supplement and stretch their practice. Unrestricted by the formalities of a commercial show, these artists are freed to play with more temporal forms of representation, such as performance, multimedia and site specific installations.
Artists may choose to use the project as an opportunity to broaden their horizons through collaboration with other artists or by taking on the role of curator. The space also provides a platform for artists wishing to reflect on the processes and outcomes of external projects that viewers would not ordinarily have access to, such as residencies and public commissions.
Projects will change over every 4-5 weeks during 2018.
25 November 2016 - 17 December 2016
Speculative Foundations
Sutton Projects is pleased to present Speculative Foundations, a solo exhibition by 2016 VCA Emerging Artist Prize recipient Aaron Christopher Rees.
Through site specific video, sculpture and photography, Rees adapts and distorts Sutton Projects Space to visualise a series of perspective modulations. Creating points of dissection between the visible and invisible parameters of actions, Speculative Foundations expands upon Rees's interest in the phenomenological and the screen, and how visual technologies reconfigure our relationship to reality.
Rees completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2015. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally and recent notable exhibitions include; solo exhibition, 1/60sec; f/5.0., TCB art Inc, 2015; and group exhibitions, Impression of Mars, Visual Bulk, 2016; Transference,' Bus Projects ,2016; Weeping Willow, LON Gallery, 2016; Is/Is Not, Westspace, 2015; The Bath House Show, occupying an abandoned Sento in Tokyo organised by Space Space gallery, 2015 and In the Epoch of the Near and Far, in conjunction with Channels video art festival, 2015.
In 2015 Rees was awarded the VCA Emerging Artist Prize, the Orloff Family Charitable Trust Award and the Omnus Framing Award. Prior to this, he was the recipient of a Majilis Encouragement Award, 2014; The Blair Trethowan TCB Art Inc. Award, 2014; Melbourne University Arts Grant, 2014; and The Framed Award at the CCP Kodak Salon, 2012.

A fixation with moments captured, and the relationship between the camera and memory have continued throughout Colquhoun's practice. Imagery of slide canisters, 35mm film reels and the camera lens have been depicted across his paintings, etchings and drawings from the 1990's to his most recent exhibitions.
Landing depicts a series of instances of an aircraft's landing gear approaching touchdown and bouncing off the tarmac. The position of the wheel in the frame, and the intensity of the shadow indicate the time and distance before and after touchdown. The imagery reads as a cinematic storyboard - each painting as a film still.
One image, (or frame) is inverted to the negative, effectively highlighting the instant the wheel makes contact. Colquhoun likens this Landing moment to the experience of a hypnic jerk or the involuntary jarring sensation as one falls off to sleep. This fascination with points of transition from one state to another was explored in Colquhoun's previous works in the form of the strike of a match, or flick of a light switch. Landing decelerates a moment of speed and impact, extracting and extending a fraction of time normally unnoticed.
Brett Colquhoun has a distinguished exhibiting history, with his participation across a number of pivotal Australian institutions including Art Projects, Gertrude Contemporary and Pinacotheca. Colquhoun has exhibited regularly since 1982 holding numerous solo shows at Sutton Gallery, the most recent, Backcatalogue, 2014, and in the same year Breath, a solo show at Five Walls projects, Melbourne. Recent group exhibitions of note include: Trams: Moving Pictures, The Old Treasury Building, Melbourne, 2012; Arthur Guy Memorial Painting Prize, Bendigo Art Gallery, Victoria, 2011; Pulp, Sutton Gallery, Melbourne, 2010; MELBOURNE>

Feigned indifference
Feigned indifference is a personal interpretation of impersonality. It is a meditation on hardness and softness. Using photographic prints, silk, plaster and Perspex, Grace Wood and Kathryne Genevieve Honey create a milieu within which the images can be viewed.
A variety of techniques are utilized in making the works, where the images are abstracted, masked, cropped and covered, such that they are made impersonal through the use of distance, flatness and compression, yet synonymously personal in the softness of touch and sentiment shown through the making of the works.
Grace Wood is an artist living and working in Melbourne. In 2014, she completed her Honours in Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts. Wood is a current Seventh Gallery Board member. Recent exhibitions include Is/Is Not, West Space, 2016; Moving On/Up, Bus Projects, 2015; Some of them got the first look, Kings ARI, 2015; Blue Moves, Seventh Gallery, 2014; From the window to the wall, Fort Delta, 2014; and Hatched, Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, 2014.
Kathryne Genevieve Honey completed a bachelor of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2013. Exhibitions include an upcoming exhibition at C3 Contemporary Art Space and previous exhibitions at Kitchen Gallery, The Centre for Contemporary Photography, Queensland Centre for Photography, Margaret Lawrence Gallery, George Paton Gallery, and the Weinman-Scida Project Space.

Painting Revealed
Painting Revealed is an invitational exhibition featuring four emerging local painters. These artists span vastly different approaches to paint, from the lightness of raw gestural mark making, to sculpted surfaces of thick paint and wax, to the precision of representational oil painting. Across the distinctive painting processes, a fascination with what lies beneath prevails throughout - a desire to expose what preceded, to leave traces of evidence, or a key to decipher what is presented on the painted surface. Within their works each artist uniquely and deliberately accentuates what is masked or covered.
Born in Dunedin, New Zealand, Ruby Brown is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts. Recent solo exhibitions include Finding, Rubicon ARI, 2014; and Multi-Purpose Gap Filler, c3 Contemporary Art Space, 2016.

Shared ruin
In Shared ruin Unkovich and Tsoulis-Reay explore intersecting themes through their individual practices and collaborate to form a cohesive interior space. Unkovich works with materials traditionally associated with the building trade, such as gypsum board, plaster and paint, from which she constructs installations of sculptural objects. In contrast, Tsoulis-Reay creates intimate oil paintings featuring imagery from found photographs. For Sutton Projects, Greece is used as the starting point. The works evolve from a series of associations, referencing classical ruins, island holidays and an archetypal colour scheme of white, stone and blue. Greece symbolizes a place of origin, and a locus of separation. Both artists are of Mediterranean descent and spent their formative years in the ocean-infused landscape of New Zealand. There is a certain nostalgia or longing inherent in their work. Shared Ruin proposes the idea of 'place' as a series of approximations and shared experience. The project is the culmination of the longstanding friendship of Unkovich and Tsoulis-Reay and the process of communication, negotiation and collaboration between two artists.
Amy Unkovich completed a Bachelor of Fine Art and her Masters at Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University in 2013. Recent exhibitions include Parlour Games, Wallace Arts Centre, Auckland, 2016; Realizing Stuff, Glovebox, Auckland, 2016; Future Home of Stucco Monstrosity, Man Friday, Christchurch, 2015; Hey Cutie, w/Ophelia King & Nina Lloyd, Pilot, Hamilton, 2015; Three's Company, w/Ophelia King & Nina Lloyd, Rockies, Auckland, 2015; New Beginnings are in the Offing, Fuzzy Vibes, Auckland, 2014; Terrace Setting w/Yolunda Hickman, Rm, Auckland, 2014;Façade Charm w/Amber Wilson, Window, Auckland, 2014; and Primitive Tints w/Jennifer Mason, Projectspace, Auckland, 2012.

Noriko Nakamura is a Melbourne based artist who uses stone carving and organic elements to make installations which draw on ideas of animism and ritualistic practices. Experimenting with the transformational potential of materials, she explores the boundaries that are created by systems of categorisation. Previous bodies of work have consisted of hand carved limestone sculptures and plants, with shapes representing the sun, the moon and the body.
For her current exhibition Motherland, Nakamura was influenced by Japanese mythology and its legendary island chain. During her recent residency in Japan, Nakamura visited shrines which worshiped Izanami, the goddess of both creation and death, leading her to create this personal response to the Kojiki tale, the oldest extant chronicle in Japan. The Kojiki is a collection of mythologies starting from the creation of the deities and the lands and continuing through to historical references of around 630BC. The gods Izanami and Izanagi appear in "Kuniumi", the birth of Japan, which is the traditional history of the Japanese archipelago, as narrated in the Kojiki. As a Japanese-born person who has been living in Australia for the past 14 years, Motherland is a way of reconnecting with her own cultural heritage.
It was before the earth and the sky were divided and solid.
There was a blob like oil floating in water, like a jellyfish floating in the sea. Izanagi and Izanami were born and used salt water to set the blob into form.
Izanagi and Izanami procreated and Izanami gave birth to an island.
They continued procreating and Izanami gave birth to eight islands, natural landscapes and phenomena such as wind, sea, mountain, river and so on.
Then she gave birth to fire and burned her private parts and became sick.
Her vomit, excrement and urine created dirt, minerals, and artesian water.
Then she died.
Izanagi cried for her death and visited her in the land of the dead.
Izanami asked him not to look at her but he turned back and saw her rotten body.
Izanami felt she was ashamed and she chased Izanagi away.
He moved a huge rock to close the pass to the land of dead.
From the other side of the rock, Izanami said
"I will strangle to death a thousand of the people of the land everyday"
and then Izanagi said
"Then I will make sure one thousand five hundred children are born everyday."

Over the past five years Grigg's art practice has had a dramatic shift. This has been a result of his slow recovery from a neurological condition called Focal Dystonia which affects the fine motor skills of his hands and arms effectively triggering the agonist and antagonist muscles simultaneously. He was initially no longer able to draw or hand cut and assemble sculptures by laminating cardboard so he began experiments with mold-making, casting, and building assemblages from a range of materials including wood, plaster, concrete, glass, leather, resin, and cotton.
The sculptures in Agonist/Antagonist relate to my body - either in scale or the experience of it and its unsynchronised agonist and antagonist muscles. Importantly the works in this show are all about touching and the hand, about the experience of recognizing the action of my hands and the dysfunction of my body.
Richard Grigg, 2016
Agonist/Antagonist contains various symbols and images that are employed to reflect Grigg's bodily experience, including, the leopard, a creature known to symbolise strength, endurance and distance presented as a sliver-thin sculpture resting atop a plank of wood with an array of found stones and shells, it appears like it is in shadow between states, passing through. Grigg also references Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, who symbolises the piecing together of broken parts and the recreation of a new and altered functioning body.
Less culturally charged but equally symbolic of Grigg's physical condition, is the inclusion of objects such as the boot or the spider shell. Both explore the transition from interior to exterior - the path of the boots laces, and the once inhabited shell. The transition from one state to another is a common thread throughout this exhibition.
Richard Grigg is a sculptor and drawer based in Clunes Victoria. He has exhibited extensively in Melbourne's artist run initiatives and held solo shows at major institutions including Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, 2010; Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Canberra, 2007 and Heide MoMA, Melbourne, 2006. Grigg has a Master of Fine Arts from Monash University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from VCA. In 2007 he undertook the Mino Paper Art Village Project Residency, Mino, Gifu prefecture, Japan.

- Where it is here - it does not matter - how I have got here - can I forget
Like a little child chasing a butterfly, here and there, I try to capture a shifting atmosphere with my eyes and hands. Their shapes sometimes look like my mother's and my grandmother's, who have shown me how to live one's life lovingly. But I am still learning to do so, as it is a difficult task.
In his essay, The Translator's Task, the philosopher, Walter Benjamin redefined 'translation' from what makes "itself remember the meaning of the original" to what "must lovingly, and in detail, fashion in its own language a counterpart to the original's mode of intention".
I imagine that it will be the same risk and chance for a poet to translate love, as for an artist, but it would be the ultimate task.
My exhibition title is the first line of a 70's Japanese song, 恋は桃色 (Love is Pink), written by Hosono Haruomi. When one is in love, the world appears so different that one forgets everything and accepts everything. Such poetic experience/reflection is perhaps untranslatable, but that is what my artwork is longing for.
Utako Shindo, 2016
Utako Shindo is an artist working with a range of materials and processes, including
drawing shadows, projecting reflections and printing traces. She is currently undertaking
her PhD research at the Centre for Ideas (The University of Melbourne) to explore the
notion of 'untranslatable' and a poetic practice that embodies this through the 'translation/ transference' between perceptions, materials, images and languages.

Fabrik: conceptual, minimalist and performative approaches to textiles
Conceived by Sarah crowEST
Curated by Jane O'Neill
Fabrik: conceptual, minimalist and performative approaches to textiles is a multi-venue exhibition held at the University of Melbourne's Ian Potter Museum of Art and Margaret Lawrence Gallery at the VCA, and Sutton Project Space. The project runs from February to May 2016 and forms part of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program.
Fabrik provides a platform for the cross-pollination of ideas across the fields of fashion, textiles and contemporary art. Featuring a selection of new and existing works, the exhibition includes emerging, mid-career and established artists from Australia and overseas. The word fabrik translates from German as 'workshop', and refers to the tendency of these artists to address both materials and methods of production. Whether scrunched, snipped, draped, ironed, ripped or threaded, the artworks reveal a strong emphasis on the artists' physical engagement with textiles. By extension, the exhibition prompts consideration of our own daily interactions with fabric.
