We want to Create 1 Million Champions by getting 1 Million kids on quality programs by 2020.
Hi! My name's Oliver Williams and in 2005 I spent the best summer of my life as a Camp Counselor in Kansas at Camp Wood YMCA. Here's a rather ancient photo of me with my first cabin.
As a counselor I saw first-hand the transformative impact programs can have on SO many people's lives. These programs really do Create Champions.
In 2011, I went back to see friends at Camp. I had thought that their quality programs were always full.
I soon realized that like so many quality kids' programs, they were not full, simply because people didn't know about them.
Champify was founded to help find the perfect programs so that kids can realize their full potential so that together we can Create Champions.
In addition to helping you find the perfect kids programs we give 1% of EVERY booking to the Summer Champs scholarship fund. The fund helps give even more kids the opportunity to experience Summer Camp, so that they too can realize their full potential and Create Champions.

In clothing, fringe is a piece of fabric left deliberately to dangle and twist off the edge of clothing. Outside of fashion, it refers to that which is unconventional or absurd.
So, it makes some sense to be boarding a large purple bus, greeted by a zombie bunny-mouse sort of character; to climb inside past a British woman in white who, it seems, was just pulled away from a drunk nap — still clutching a bottle of dessert wine, singing along with a guy in a space suit who's playing a theremin. Her name is Mistress MC Clarie. He's "guy in a space suit," and the creature who welcomed you is "Zombie Bunny Man."
Once you're all in your seats, you're driven around the same block a few times as Zombie Bunny Man puts on a shadow puppet show titled The Swallow Artist, where his puppet swallows an assortment of shadowy objects — a penny, a ninja star, a peach pit with Richard Nixon's face on it … that sort of thing.
You land at the Flood Gallery in the River Arts District, where you follow Mistress MC Clarie's megaphone which, naturally, is playing a synthesized version of Bach's "Fur Elise" on loop. You find a seat and ready for a show of some sort. What happens next may perhaps be described as the story of Bill Cosby's sweater drawer, which mated with some bugs, broke into the nursery and tried to invent jazz. It goes on too long, but just long enough for you to cycle from being amused to confused, to bored, and back to amused again. Then, if you think you've entered some silly dream state (what was in that drink you had back on the bus?) three men dressed in black appear and tell you a horrifying story about a diseased scrotum. This one is thankfully concise, and you're glad to be back on the bus when it's over.
The bus circles the roundabout at the end of Clingman Street at least six times then drops you in a parking lot, where you are to stand in the 20-degree night and watch a film projected on a wall. There's a lot of Martha Graham-style choreography going on in this film, a waterfall, a woman pulling a fortune cookie slip out of her mouth. Suddenly it's over and Mistress MC Clarie's megaphone is playing "Fur Elise" again. You follow her into the Lift Gallery, where you're met by an acoustic singer-songwriter duo.
A woman dressed like Christmas sits on the couch and dances like a gothic fairy. You're not sure whether or not she's part of the show.
She may as well be.
They tell you to explore, but you should stop at the bar first. Zombie Bunny Man is serving wine for donations. You'll need a glass for what you're about to witness.
A troupe called Moving Women (or maybe, Women Moving?) is scattered throughout the place. One is wearing butter knives; another, spoons. Spoon lady seems to be a sort of spider character, behind a web. She's not afraid to push you with her feet or grab at your ankles. Knife girl just kind of wanders ghostlike and sneaky, her knives clanging against each other. There are aerial dancers.
The music is chaotic, discomforting. You're pleased to discover it's being created by a live band in the basement — three vocalists, a couple of keyboards, a guy with a clarinet and a drum with the snare unhooked. All of this is violently distorted so it sounds more like a bevy of zombies eating the brains out of animated stereos and hacking them with chainsaws. The art on the wall looks like that music sounds. Strange haunting dream creatures in dark shades of bright colors, with faces like animals (a pig, a camel, a snake) and legs which look strangely like women.
This also maybe goes on a little too long, but just when you think you've had too much, "Fur Elise" walks through the room and you follow it back to the bus.
The show ends with a solo from the "guy in a space suit" as Mistress MC Clarie and Zombie Bunny Man waltz toward the front of the bus.
Was it all some strange dream? Or just a night at Asheville's Fringe Festival?
Asheville's FringeArts Festival — a weekend of unconventional art, music, theater, film, and dance — is celebrating its tenth year with shows aboard the LaZoom bus, as well as at the Bebe Theater on Commerce Street in downtown Asheville and Black Mountain College Museum & Arts Center on Broadway. Tickets and more information are available at http://www.AshevilleFringe.org.

Where's the competition?
Is anyone else at ESRI's user conference this week?
My son.
Me with my daughter.
Are posts from my cell phone showing up?
I'm staying at a Hilton hotel right now. There are some things that change with the "quality" of the hotel and some that don't. Most hotels have free personal items should you forget something. My travel companion forgot his toohbrush and the quality is the same low grade that I've gotten at more budget consious hotels. The soap however is a smaller version of the expensive Neutrogena brand beauty bars. All of these things I can understand. What I don't understand is the fact that at a nice "luxo" hotel like this they can't seem to spend the extra pennies for nice toilet paper. Something a little nicer than the typical sandpaper or 3-ring binder paper that hotels usually stock. Are they worried they'll have to keep an eye on the toilet paper in addition to the robes, towers and kleenex?
I have no idea how often I'll post here but I figured I'd at least put one post on here.

Owen is turning two, and is as cute as can be. We had his session on my sister's farm, and of course the tractor was one of the only things we had to walk by to get where we were going. The session was pretty much over as soon as it started. I can't tell you how many pictures I got of him pointing towards the tractor! He wanted to play on it more than he wanted his picture taken… go figure!
Check out this handsome little man!

I love books, don't you? I don't think you'd be reading this blog if you didn't.
I am going book shopping today, and although I don't have a LOT of money to spend, I still plan on getting a couple of books for me and maybe one or two picture books for my DD.
So my questions for you today is...if you could go buy any two books in the bookstore today what would they be? What about one picture book you'd like to add to your collection?

Connect to Learning (C2L) is a national network of campus ePortfolio leaders, working together to advance the transformative capacities of ePortfolio for teaching, learning and assessment.
The Catalyst for Learning site, a collection of proven practices and a comprehensive, evidence-based analytical framework, culminates 3 years of C2L collaboration and exchange.
Coordinated by the Making Connections National Resource Center of LaGuardia Community College (CUNY), C2L brings together a diverse collection of partner campuses, including community colleges, private liberal arts colleges, and research universities.
Teams from Boston's Northeastern University, San Francisco State, IUPUI, Manhattanville College, CUNY's new Guttman Community College and others across the country met face-to-face and on-line to explore ideas, exchange practices and provide mutual support for their campus ePortfolio initiatives. Since the start of the project in 2011, participating campus teams have used insights from the C2L process to strengthen work with more than 1,200 faculty and 70,000 students. (Click here to read more about the Connect to Learning process)
Building on this collaboration, C2L has produced a resource site for higher education — Catalyst for Learning: ePortfolio Resources and Research. Designed for faculty and educational leaders nationwide, the Catalyst site offers campus-tested strategies for building effective ePortfolio initiatives. Each campus was invited to build its own portfolio to share its practices, insights, and evidence of effectiveness. The Catalyst Framework analyzes and organizes this array of raw material, identifying key findings and the core strategies used by effective ePortfolio initiatives.
Primary funding for Connect to Learning was provided by the Fund for Innovation in Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) of the US Department of Education. Campus stakeholders and the leadership of the Association for Authentic, Experiential, and Evidence-based Learning (AAEEBL), a growing international professional association focused on ePortfolio practice, played crucial partnership roles.
LaGuardia's President Gail O. Mellow and Provost Paul Arcario inspired and guided the project, and faculty and staff of the LaGuardia Center for Teaching and Learning were essential at every step. C2L is pleased to acknowledge the generosity of all of its partners.

Alan Wiggins, coming off his second rehabilitation stop for drug treatment, agreed Tuesday to report to the San Diego Padres' Las Vegas affiliate in the Pacific Coast League.
San Diego President Ballard Smith said efforts to trade the second baseman will continue.
Before Wiggins was voluntarily admitted to a drug rehabilitation clinic in Center City, Minn., for 28 days last month, the Padres had said that he would never play for them again. He went through rehabilitation treatment in 1982.
The players' association has insisted that this is Wiggins' first offense since the new drug program went into effect.
Several clubs are known to have made inquiries involving Wiggins, including the Baltimore Orioles. Smith declined to identify any of the teams.
Major league baseball players will set a strike date between July 1-10 unless there is some meaningful progress in negotiations, union chief Donald Fehr said after a 2 1/2-hour talk between the two sides.

POLICE are hunting three men who made off with a haul of cigarettes after robbing a delivery truck at the rear of a cash and carry store.
The incident happened after a truck driver parked his lorry at the back of the Bookers Cash and Carry store on the Dunkirk Trading Estate, near Chester, on May 9.
The driver arrived at the trading estate at 7.55am but parked his vehicle as there was a queue of traffic.
At 8.45am, he noticed a car parked at the rear of his vehicle and went to investigate.
As he approached the car a man appeared and started shouting at him. He was brandishing a small knife. Police say the lorry driver felt threatened and retreated.
Two men then started loading a large quantity of cigarettes into the car which later drove off at speed.
Police say the car - a silver coloured Ford Mondeo with the registration Y834LKV -was stolen from the Sutton Coldfield area, in the West Midlands following a burglary on April 24.
Police want to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Det Con Andy Davies or Det Con Ruth Liddy at Chester CID on 01244 350222.

So here they are, the Top Ten Books That Broke My Heart A Little, in no particular order.
Ps, this does not mean they're bad books, it means they were so good, most of them made me cry and really feel, but then put my heart back together again. Others left it on the floor, but were still pretty freakin' amazing.
ALL of these books have a rating of 4 stars or more. (From a total of 5).
1. Stolen by Lucy Christopher
I wanted to hate Ty.
I didn't.
It left me so confused, and totally heart broken.
I even dreamed about it.
2. The last mediator book- Twilight by Meg Cabot
One of Meg Cabot's BEST series ever. The ending was, as always brilliant and left me so super duper happy. *sigh*
But the Jesse bit in the middle?
Oh boy did I cry.
Gotta love Jesse and Suze.
3. A Long Long Sleep by Anna Sheehan
|I put up both the covers,
because both are so pretttyyyyy.
Xander. Oh Xander.
That Xander bit nearing the end? I cried. Hard.
4. Upstate by Kalisha Buckhanan
It was so bittersweet. I desperately wanted a fairytale.
I got real life.
But it was so good.
5. Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Alex and Lena were so inspiring and good together. The end killed me. *sigh* Waiting for Pandemonium and a miracle. [one of the] Best love based dystopian EVA.
6. How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
This book was a slow and steady read.
The bittersweet love story broke my heart, and all the sad war bits and how the children were left alone.
I love books where children are left to fend for themselves and make an adventure out of it. Enid Blyton books did it in a happier way, Meg Rosoff did it in a bittersweet, tugs-on-your-heartstrings way.
Click here to view the book trailer- its pretty awesome.
7. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
If a book broke my heart and ripped it to pieces, it would be this book.
The ending was a happy one though, and the story was extremely well written and so good.
I didn't cry but at parts it got me so angry at the injustice of it all! Ugh.
8. Harry Potter by JK Rowling
Dobby, Dumbledore, Fred, Hedwig? 'Nuff said.
9. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
All the sad bits. *sigh*
10. books by Christopher Pike
Christopher Pike is one of my most fav authors EVER. He writes so brilliantly- every single one of his books have heartbreak-y stories, but they are always SO. FREAKIN'.GOOD. You're left shocked, questioning and just wowed.
And those are my top ten picks. What are yours?

It's happened, the one thing I thought would never happen with this job. For a solid week riders in my taxicab have been shamelessly well-behaved. Just who do they think they are?
When I sat down with my friends at the Independent to brainstorm and begin this column, I assured them that the supply of sordid subject matter would be inexhaustible. But for now, the fake epileptic seizures to avoid paying a fare, the pleasures and pains of Tejon Street revelers, the tearful confessors, the outraged bigots and evangelists, the crime victims and perpetrators, and so on, all seem to have retreated to their respective dens and lairs to perhaps rest and rearm for another assault.
Let's hope so. I'm shaken, perplexed and disappointed by this current plague of good behavior.
For now, I'm compelled to share part of a phone conversation that took place in my cab the other night, on a subject that concerns us earthlings one and all.
The rider emerged from a busy crowd at The Ritz, and got in, a smartphone held to his ear. He glanced at me and said "Peterson," meaning of course, the Air Force base, then "Take Platte straight out." Off we went. The phone would never leave his ear.
If the possibility of life on other planets has never interested you, or doesn't now, read no further. Otherwise, there's a thing out there called the Cassini space probe, and from this rider I feel that we should have knowledge of and concern about it, especially since "We're paying for it!" as he emphasized over and over to his friend on the phone.
As an Air Force insider, he might know something revealing, I figured. To paraphrase, he explained that the Earth is enveloped in methane gas, giving evidence of our existence and residency here. "Cow flatulence," he maintains, is the primary source of this methane, and is "purplish-looking in the orbit photos," the result of our massive beef production. Methane, therefore, signals the presence of "decaying organic matter," of plant, animal, and human life forms.
It's also been detected on one of the moons of Saturn, one we call Titan.
NASA, the rider maintained, launched a satellite years ago to penetrate Titan's atmosphere and photograph its methane-shrouded surface above and below. Now it's collecting the data.
What do the pictures show? My rider demanded to know, and now.
We reached a stretch of motels and nightclubs along Platte, but the rider was elsewhere, obsessively focused on two things: the possibilities for life existing on Titan, and our right to know if it does, or does not.
Who can avoid speculating when this topic — "life in the universe" — presents itself? It's not always a matter of what science can tell us, but what we need to know for ourselves, that sustains interest.
We arrived at Peterson and he paid, got out, and was gone. But later, on my own, I did a little research on Cassini. Turns out that over the past 10 years, NASA has reported on geysers and oceans on Saturn's moons. Next week, it will get within 600 miles of Titan before sending back another mass of data. Which is all well and good. But what I'm looking for, and I think this rider was, too, is some kind of message.
If we're gonna get that close to a planet so much like our own, there has to be something worth interpreting to see or recognize, something that conveys meaning to consider, not just another pile of rocks like on Mars or the Moon, or decaying "organic matter" with no attachment to anything. If that's all NASA expected to find, and they must've had some idea what was out there, then the mission was a waste before it ever got off the ground.
It is an injustice not to be given all the facts, and allowed to interpret them for ourselves. There is methane on Titan. So, NASA, what is that really about? And isn't our right to the facts just as important as the facts themselves?

As Valentine's Day approaches, the girls and I have been doing a lot of arts and crafts projects and making our Valentine's cards. We even made some delicious and super easy strawberry cookies…they have all been gobbled up, but I bought extra so we can make more again soon!!
Our first arts and crafts we did involved foot prints and hearts!!
I mixed red and white paint to make pink for their footprints…then came the giggles while I painted their feet. I made their footprints first, then helped guide the girls to write the letters 'L' and 'E'. I cut out each heart from scrapbook paper, it was a part of the packet I used to make the 'X' and 'O' letters, then glued the heart in place.
The girls said they wanted to paint hearts, so I cut out a bunch of hearts from construction paper and let them have fun. Their color of choice was to paint them purple of course!
We used the hearts to make cards.
The next little project took some time, but definitely worth it in the end.
I could have cut the time in half by using my Silhouette to cut out the hearts, but the girls love to trace things so I had them help me trace the hearts using our heart cookie cutter. I then used my craft hole punch to put two holes in each heart and used baker's twine to hang the hearts. I love seeing the girls' smiles when they see everything displayed on the mantel!!
With much love,

IKON Comments On Financing Strategy, Completes $300 Million Facility
Wednesday, May 29, 2002
Press release from the issuing companyVALLEY FORGE, Pa.--May 28, 2002--IKON Office Solutions, Inc. today announced the completion of a $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaces the facility that would have terminated in January 2003. The facility will be used for general corporate purposes. J. P. Morgan Securities Inc. is the sole lead arranger on the facility and Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., and Wachovia Bank, National Association are co-documentation agents. "This credit facility agreement, together with the recently completed financings by our leasing operations, including the $300 million convertible debt offering issued a few weeks ago and the $635 million asset-backed securitization priced just last week, completes a series of major financing initiatives the Company had planned for Fiscal 2002," stated James J. Forese, Chairman and CEO. "We are very pleased to be able to execute on this aspect of our Fiscal 2002 goals, despite what has become a very difficult credit environment for all businesses. These financings better position the Company's balance sheet for long-term growth opportunities, and support execution of our overall strategy, which includes offering lease financing to customers - an important competitive differentiator for IKON in our industry today. "As the largest independent provider of office, production and outsourcing solutions in North America with a strong market presence in Europe, IKON has tremendous potential to leverage its position in the industry," continued Forese. "We also continue to believe we can substantially expand operating margins long-term and generate continued strong free cash flow. Having the appropriate financing strategies to achieve those goals is key. That includes short-term needs and long-term goals that maximize our future access to capital so that IKON can be in a position to take advantage of growth opportunities as they present themselves in the years ahead. "As is customary for leasing activity, our operations must raise capital on a continual basis to meet the expected funding needs of the lease receivables portfolio. In the future, we intend to continue to finance the needs of our leasing operations primarily through the asset-backed market, as well as through the unsecured debt market and other alternative financing sources. The convertible debt recently issued by IOS Capital, IKON's largest captive leasing organization, took advantage of strong demand in the convertible market due to today's capital-constrained banking environment. While we do not plan to utilize this market again in the near-term, I believe our ability to take advantage of this window of opportunity was a plus for the business. "With our strong cash flow, our non-leasing operations do not require a significant amount of revolving credit in the near term; therefore, the $300 million facility is appropriate for our needs at this time. Excluding leasing debt, IKON's debt to equity ratio at March 31, 2002 was 28%, and corporate debt totaled approximately $609 million. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen and we are taking all actions within our control to ensure that we can capitalize on that in the future," concluded Forese.

Pocketbooks handbags purses alamogordo
Ista took a seat on a chest by the wall to illvin right and studied that silent profile. Ways, and I shall lead you to peace and prosperity!

Aramis appeared to make a strong inward effort, like a man who, in the full relation of a falsehood, finds himself stopped by some unforeseen obstacle; but the eyes of his three companions were fixed upon him, their ears were wide open, and there were no means of retreat.
"This doctor has a niece," continued Aramis.
"Ah, he has a niece!" interrupted Porthos.
"A very respectable lady," said Aramis.
The three friends burst into laughter.
"Ah, if you laugh, if you doubt me," replied Aramis, "you shall know nothing."
"We believe like Mohammedans, and are as mute as tombstones," said Athos.
"I will continue, then," resumed Aramis. "This niece comes sometimes to see her uncle; and by chance was there yesterday at the same time that I was, and it was my duty to offer to conduct her to her carriage."
"Ah! She has a carriage, then, this niece of the doctor?" interrupted Porthos, one of whose faults was a great looseness of tongue. "A nice acquaintance, my friend!"
"Porthos," replied Aramis, "I have had the occasion to observe to you more than once that you are very indiscreet; and that is injurious to you among the women."
"Gentlemen, gentlemen," cried d'Artagnan, who began to get a glimpse of the result of the adventure, "the thing is serious. Let us try not to jest, if we can. Go on Aramis, go on."
"All at once, a tall, dark gentleman — just like yours, d'Artagnan."
"The same, perhaps," said he.
"Possibly," continued Aramis, "came toward me, accompanied by five or six men who followed about ten paces behind him; and in the politest tone, 'Monsieur Duke,' said he to me, 'and you madame,' continued he, addressing the lady on my arm — "
"The doctor's niece?"
"Hold your tongue, Porthos," said Athos; "you are insupportable."
"' — will you enter this carriage, and that without offering the least resistance, without making the least noise?'"
"He took you for Buckingham!" cried d'Artagnan.
"I believe so," replied Aramis.
"But the lady?" asked Porthos.
"He took her for the queen!" said d'Artagnan.
"Just so," replied Aramis.
"The Gascon is the devil!" cried Athos; "nothing escapes him."
"The fact is," said Porthos, "Aramis is of the same height, and something of the shape of the duke; but it nevertheless appears to me that the dress of a Musketeer — "
"I wore an enormous cloak," said Aramis.
"In the month of July? The devil!" said Porthos. "Is the doctor afraid that you may be recognized?"
"I can comprehend that the spy may have been deceived by the person; but the face — "
"I had a large hat," said Aramis.
"Oh, good lord," cried Porthos, "what precautions for the study of theology!"
"Gentlemen, gentlemen," said d'Artagnan, "do not let us lose our time in jesting. Let us separate, and let us seek the mercer's wife — that is the key of the intrigue."
"A woman of such inferior condition! Can you believe so?" said Porthos, protruding his lips with contempt.
"She is goddaughter to Laporte, the confidential valet of the queen. Have I not told you so, gentlemen? Besides, it has perhaps been her Majesty's calculation to seek on this occasion for support so lowly. High heads expose themselves from afar, and the cardinal is longsighted."
"Well," said Porthos, "in the first place make a bargain with the mercer, and a good bargain."
"That's useless," said d'Artagnan; "for I believe if he does not pay us, we shall be well enough paid by another party."
At this moment a sudden noise of footsteps was heard upon the stairs; the door was thrown violently open, and the unfortunate mercer rushed into the chamber in which the council was held.
"Save me, gentlemen, for the love of heaven, save me!" cried he. "There are four men come to arrest me. Save me! Save me!"
Porthos and Aramis arose.
"A moment," cried d'Artagnan, making them a sign to replace in the scabbard their half-drawn swords. "It is not courage that is needed; it is prudence."
"And yet," cried Porthos, "we will not leave — "
"You will leave d'Artagnan to act as he thinks proper," said Athos. "He has, I repeat, the longest head of the four, and for my part I declare that I will obey him. Do as you think best, d'Artagnan."
At this moment the four Guards appeared at the door of the antechamber, but seeing four Musketeers standing, and their swords by their sides, they hesitated about going farther.
"Come in, gentlemen, come in," called d'Artagnan; "you are here in my apartment, and we are all faithful servants of the king and cardinal."
"Then, gentlemen, you will not oppose our executing the orders we have received?" asked one who appeared to be the leader of the party.
"On the contrary, gentlemen, we would assist you if it were necessary."
"What does he say?" grumbled Porthos.
"You are a simpleton," said Athos. "Silence!"
"But you promised me — " whispered the poor mercer.
"We can only save you by being free ourselves," replied d'Artagnan, in a rapid, low tone; "and if we appear inclined to defend you, they will arrest us with you."
"It seems, nevertheless — "
"Come, gentlemen, come!" said d'Artagnan, aloud; "I have no motive for defending Monsieur. I saw him today for the first time, and he can tell you on what occasion; he came to demand the rent of my lodging. Is that not true, Monsieur Bonacieux? Answer!"
"That is the very truth," cried the mercer; "but Monsieur does not tell you — "
"Silence, with respect to me, silence, with respect to my friends; silence about the queen, above all, or you will ruin everybody without saving yourself! Come, come, gentlemen, remove the fellow." And d'Artagnan pushed the half-stupefied mercer among the Guards, saying to him, "You are a shabby old fellow, my dear. You come to demand money of me — of a Musketeer! To prison with him! Gentlemen, once more, take him to prison, and keep him under key as long as possible; that will give me time to pay him."
The officers were full of thanks, and took away their prey. As they were going down d'Artagnan laid his hand on the shoulder of their leader.
"May I not drink to your health, and you to mine?" said d'Artagnan, filling two glasses with the Beaugency wine which he had obtained from the liberality of M. Bonacieux.
"That will do me great honor," said the leader of the posse, "and I accept thankfully."
"Then to yours, monsieur — what is your name?"
"Monsieur Boisrenard."

When a crocheted or knitted item is felted, the stitches do not show, so it resembles fabric. Things can be felted in different ways, depending on how much you want the stitches to disappear, or how much you want your purse (or item) to shrink.
I'm showing felted purses, an ipod/phone case, a scarf and 2 different felted bowls.
The brown felted shoulderbag is one I designed for my book, Positively Crochet!, published in 2007. This book which has 50 projects of garments and accessories, has been a best seller and continues to be very popular today. Projects are still stylish! You can see them all on my Ravelry designer page here.
Different washing machines and water temperatures may also cause an item to felt and shrink differently. Some people may only need to put their item through the wash once, where as some machine's may require you to put it through a cycle 4 times.
At left is my iPod case, also in Positively Crochet! Its quick and easy, with a pocket in back for your ear buds, key or money.
One of the most important things you need to know is that you HAVE to use wool yarn or other animal fiber in order for the felting process to work. Otherwise, you will just be wasting your time.
|Before and After Felting
Instructions for Felting
1. Place the item inside a zippered pillowcase, and put into washing machine on lowest water level and hottest setting.
|Felted Bowl
2. Add 1 tablespoon Ivory Snow soap or Dawn dishwashing liquid and 1/4 cup baking soda.
Kep scrolling, but first I want to tell you about my felted bowl! It was such a fun project and I love the outcome. I'm not sure I even wrote down the pattern, but if I can find it I'll post it as a free pattern. I believe I made a beannie hat shape that was much larger than a regular hat. After it was felted, but still wet, I found a bowl that it fit over tightly. If its loose, it won't dry right. I made different colored circles in different sizes in case I wanted to make it polka dotted.
I just looked up Felted projects on Ravelry and found 30 pages of projects here. I found patterns for just about anything you can think of, including bowls like mine! I hadn't seen anyone else do that.
Keep scrolling, but first, I want you to see the Houndstooth purse I designed to be in my book Crochet That Fits, a book with 33 garmrnts and accessories, voted "Best Crochet Pattern Book of 2008". The one shown in the book is a slate blue and gray color. This purse is also lined and has peltex, a stiffener for a structured feel.
|Felted Dish - my free pattern, not posted yet!
The scarf, also in Positively Crochet!, is much longer before being felted. But see the difference in the stitches? The sideways cluster stitches ended up forming into little balls on the felted scarf. It's a very quick and easy project. In fact, its beginner level. See before and after felting below!
|This is the way I showed the scarf in one of my fashion shows

We're well into winter here in South Africa, and one of the highlights of the cold season is of course Wimbledon. Growing up, the famous grass court tournament fell into our school holidays, which meant we usually watched it on our grandparents' farm. Coupled with the local kids' tennis coaching clinic we attended every year at this time and it's no wonder all us cousins got tennis fever. Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, Boris Becker, Andre Agassi, Stefan Edberg, Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe and the like were our absolute heroes.
We lived near the All England Club during our time in the UK and the thrill of actually being in those hallowed grounds for real was immense. Bear in mind that my grandpa would have to crank up the diesel-powered engine that provided electricity to the farmhouse early in those days so we could watch Wimbledon on TV during the afternoon. So I'd come a long way from those humble days to be standing courtside in the flesh.
This year has seen me glued to the television almost every afternoon, embroidery in hand and mind on the tennis. It's been one of the best Wimbledon tournaments in years, with early upsets and seeded players falling like dominoes, unknowns and unexpecteds living the dream and titanic five-set battles. No writer could have scripted it better.
It's been such cracker jack entertainment that my embroidery schedule slipped more than the players. You can imagine the scenario, hand poised to take the next stitch … after this point … this game … this set. So the tennis generally won out even though I did manage to get a bit of embroidery done, and it's been a brilliant two weeks of stitching and watching.
My fingers are crossed for Sabine Lisicki this afternoon and I wish Andy and Novak could both win. Who are you supporting? And will you be embroidering while you watch, perhaps to calm the nerves…?

We Need More Minority Voices in the Special Needs Community
"What can the white special needs community do to help the brown special needs community?" I was asked this question at the BlogHer '14 Special Needs Mini Con session in San Jose, CA. I had to pause when I heard it. I wasn't ready.
I explained in my response that in the brown special needs community we deal with several issues including lack of access to information and resources. I also brought up the stigma that we deal with regarding developmental disabilities, such as autism. None of this actually answered the question because honestly I did not know what to say. I am not really sure what the white special needs community can do for us brown people.
We are all raising our children with disabilities, and like white parents we need the same things. The autism world is already saturated by white parents speaking out on panels (congressional and on the local level), at conferences and in the media. Unless you are a Toni Braxton or a Holly Robinson Peete, it is rare that a minority perspective is sought out.
The disparity in the representation of minority families in the national conversation about autism is glaring. This disparity also extends to the representation of minorities with autism. If you stepped back and took it all in, you would think that there were no minorities on the autism spectrum.
I am not waiting for anyone to invite me to the table. I will bring my own table and my own picnic basket.
Despite obvious flaws in the recent CDC study citing the prevalence of autism, it is still important to share its findings. The study revealed that 1 in 81 black children are on the autism spectrum, and that black children were less likely to be identified with autism than white children. It was also stated that black and Hispanic children who have autism were more likely to have an intellectual disability than white children. Do our voices matter? Of course they do.
Do I need a white parent to give me access? Honestly, no. I am more of the mindset of creating my own, and if I can't create my own, then I will fight for what I need for my son. Don't see a way? Make a way!
When I found out that support groups were lacking in my borough of the Bronx, I co-founded one with two awesome moms. We have over 120 members and we are growing. I am not waiting for anyone to invite me to the table. I will bring my own table and my own picnic basket. I know many parents who feel the same.
As I looked around the room at the mini con, I was the only black parent. In fact, I could count the number of minorities on one hand and not even use all of my fingers. We were in a room of 20 plus parents. Is this a problem? Yes. How did I get to this conference? I won a giveaway. I would not have been able to attend otherwise, and there would have been no black parents represented in that room.
To my fellow minority parents, we have to continue to step up and advocate for our families. In the autism parent blogging world, there are very few of us brown autism parents blogging about our lives, so maybe the mini con reflected that. Still I believe that our stories deserve to be told. I encourage parents of ALL races to share and be a part of the Sailing Autistic Seas community.
Before I go, I want to shout out my fellow brown autism parent bloggers and link to their sites, so you can know we are out here. Please add your site in the comments, if I left you out:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Agriculture Committee Chairman Michael Conaway said on Tuesday he expects an early June vote on legislation to repeal U.S. meat labeling laws to avoid costly retaliation from Canada and Mexico.
Canada and Mexico began preparing retaliatory steps against U.S. goods on Monday after a World Trade Organization decision. The group said U.S. laws that require retailers to label meat with the country where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered discriminate against imported livestock.
"I am hopeful that a big vote in the House in early June will help the Senate," Conaway told reporters.

Now This card is as big as it looks,
it is a triple fold with acetate on the two front sides so you can see through to the back.

Jamie Foxx may now be a major Hollywood talent, but he didn't start off life that way. And the actor's childhood wasn't always an easy one, either – which perhaps makes his rise to the top all the more astounding. After Foxx opened up about his humble beginnings, though, his fans and the public at large found out just what he has had to overcome in order to become an Oscar-winning star.
What's more, such details may have come as a shock, as Foxx isn't typically one to broadcast every detail of his private life. Even his relationship with Katie Holmes has been a low-key one; though the couple have reportedly dated for years, they are still yet to officially confirm their romance.
Perhaps, then, Foxx prefers to let his work do the talking for him. And there's no doubt that he's had an illustrious career, with an Oscar for his role as Ray Charles in Ray under his belt. He's a Grammy winner, too, with two awards for his collaborations with T-Pain and Kanye West.

Not sure WHEN on availability yet, but hopefully, it's comin! UPDATE: For our US folks, we hear from one of our readers it's confirmed "Kmart Pocatello ID 83201 $14.99 6 in stock spotted yesterday"- Thanks Jesse!
More on the link below:)
Oh dear god, I need these something fierce for a project, the raider drums are just too damn big to have two on a pistol.ReplyDelete
Finally! :D I wonder why they don't listen to us more often. If the consumers AND the elite (such as yourself) name something they would certainly buy, then you have a large and assured customer base...
(That was fast, Pocket! I followed the link to SG Nerf, and when I came back after 30 seconds flat, here it was! Kudos!)
$14 US when you can get the blaster from Target for $25 Aus, or less I forget the price....
Anyway if the price is $10 or less I'll buy.
The Alpha Trooper is 20 bucks at US Targets. 15 dollars at a K-Mart does sound about right though. K-mart's clearance items are more expensive than standard retail of most other stores. If this is 14.99 elsewhere, you might as well just fork over the extra 5 bucks for the blaster as well. My hope is Wal-Mart will prop these up for a reasonable 9 to 11 bucks.ReplyDelete
Hey guys. I need help. Should I buy a stampede or a raider,recon,longshot at the same tme for a nerf warReplyDelete
If it's $15, we can at least hope that it will be £10, which might actually be worth paying.ReplyDelete

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - A woman who pepper-sprayed a Kmart security officer who tried to stop her and her mother from shoplifting was sentenced Wednesday in Franklin County Court to one to 23 months in jail.
Justina Woodson, 27, of 1645 Scotland Ave., pleaded guilty last month to simple assault and criminal conspiracy to commit retail theft in the incident, which occurred June 24, 2007, at the Wayne Avenue Kmart, according to court records.
Chambersburg police said Woodson and her mother, Patricia Glasco, were leaving the store when William Getz, a loss prevention officer attempted to stop them on suspicion of retail theft.
"He did not identify himself until after he grabbed me," Woodson said. She told Walker she was unaware that her mother had stolen merchandise from the store.

This past Saturday, I shared a message of modesty and pure fashion with the ladies at Ladies in Waiting Ministry. I was one of the founders of this ministry when I lived in Miami and it holds such a special place in my heart. It's where I learned to serve God and minister to young women. It's where I developed a passion for high schoolers and middle schoolers when everyone else says they're too difficult to minister to. But most of all it's where I was challenged to know the Lord more and more and where He spoke to me and changed me in so many ways. I morphed in this place and I am eternally grateful for that. I just love all my girls there and it was truly a joy to be back.
The Halftee is the under mini-shirt I am wearing in the outfit below. It is amazing! It goes with anything and their site has so many different options and colors to make any piece modest. Find them here.


text: Morris Dees and the SPLC: Agents of Big Jewry By Patrick Grimm What is Big Jewry? It is the interconnected network of Jewish organizations, think tanks, lobbyists, supposed âcivil rights groupsâ, charities, media outlets, particular newspapers such as the New York Times and their partners and brothers-in-arms in the bloated federal bureaucracy. Big Jewry may not be monolithic on every issue of public moment, but they generally take pro-Zionist, pro-Israel, pro-illegal immigration, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, pro-âfree tradeâ, pro-affirmative action positions. They are quite anti-Christian, anti-church, anti-free speech, anti-Gentilist and when it comes right down to it, anti-American. They are pro-Jewish and not much of anything else matters to them. The Tribe comes first and foremost. The rest of their stances naturally follow from this vantage point. They will fund and further the causes that weaken us, and what weakens us puts them squarely in the engineerâs seat of the American cultural train wreck. I am going to pass over some of the more obvious Jewish groups I have cited before and discuss one particular organization that is run by a gang of peverts, degenerates and hucksters. I am going to call them out for the filthy anti-American thugs that they truly are. I refer of course to a group with the misnomer The Southern Poverty Law Center. It is ironic that a political propaganda mill with this name has spent years raking in tens of millions of dollars promoting illegal immigration, anti-white racism, homosexuality, the de-Christianization of the US and every other sick far-left cause that is ripping America apart at the Constitutional seams. This âpovertyâ group has nothing to do with assisting or empowering the poor and downtrodden and everything to do with lining the pockets of elitist Jews and tossing some of the profits back into the coffers of Big Jewry. The Southern Poverty Law Center The SPLC is ostensibly a political group fighting for equal rights, particularly for minorities, but a closer inspection of this oft-cited leftist ratâs nest reveals a darker agenda. The SPLC is, more than everything else it might be, an anti-white and anti-freedom law firm. It was founded by two Jews, Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin, Jr. We can now turn to Wikipedia for a description, albeit a slanted and deceptive one, of the SPLC. Wikipedia states warmly and probably with a Jewish smirk: âThe Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American non-profit legal organization, whose stated purpose is to combat racism and promote civil rights through research, education and litigation.â [1] Well, how wonderful! With wailing whines about the supposed threat of a âgrowingâ Ku Klux Klan and white power groups who are, in the eyes of SPLC, on the rise, this center uses fearmongering and scapegoating as a fundraising drive for their self-serving racket. But you have to hand it to Dees and Levin. Their scare tactics and alarmist website and mailings have kept the leftists hopping. They have also kept these same leftists writing and mailing big checks to the SPLC. In a 2000 issue of Harperâs Magazine, Ken Silverstein wrote in an article entitled appropriately âThe Church of Morris Deesâ that âMorris Dees doesnât need your âfinancial supportâ because âthe SPLC is already the wealthiest âcivil rightsâ group in America.â [2] Just how rich are Dees and his fellow shyster-in-crime, Joe Levin? Silverstein estimates that the Southern Poverty Law Center has a war chest totaling over $120 million, with the center ostentatiously spending over $5.76 million on fundraising alone. I guess âpovertyâ pays, doesnât it? Who Is Morris Dees? Letâs be clear on this. Morris Dees is a Jewish radical leftist pervert, degenerate, sexual deviant and a proud and flagrant adulterer to boot. Dees is also an alleged child molester. Strong words, I know, but the evidence bears them out. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center [2] Ken Silverstein, âThe Church of Morris Dees,â Harperâs Magazine, 1 November, 2000, No. 1806, Vol. 301; Pg. 54 ; ISSN: 0017-789X.

Hakoah Club purchased the site of the former White City Tennis Club in June 2010 with a vision to develop a significant sporting, cultural and community centre with facilities and services to cater for families, seniors, young people and community groups.
When membership re-opens prior to the launch of the new development, the Hakoah Board will continue to invite members of the Jewish community and members of the broader community to join. Since 1938, Hakoah Club has been an institution in Sydney's Eastern suburbs. Originally known as the Hakoah Football Club (later known as the Sydney Football Club), Hakoah was first formed by German and Austrian refugees keen to resume playing soccer in Australia.
The Sydney Hakoah Club is one of a number of Jewish sporting clubs throughout the world, modeled on the original Hakoah Club that was formed in Vienna, Austria in 1909 for the promotion of sporting prowess amongst Jewish men.

How Does BetterWOMAN Work?
BetterWOMAN naturally improves blood circulation, promotes hormone balance and modulates neuromuscular functions based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory. It improves the tone and strength of muscle systems that control bladder functions. The stronger the muscles, the better the bladder control*. Back to Top
Is it Safe to Take BetterWOMAN?
There are no known side effects with taking BetterWOMAN. There are no known contraindications with common medications. BetterWOMAN contains no hormones or stimulants. All Chinese herbs used in the BetterWOMAN formula are pure and natural, with over 50 years of safe and effective use. In a toxicity study, no abnormality was observed in lab animals fed with 330 fold of the human dosage of BetterWOMAN powder. BetterWOMAN is manufactured in the USA under cGMP standards. Each batch of the product is assayed and guaranteed with no heavy metal contaminants. General Warning: Keep the bottle out of the reach of children. Consult a health care professional if you are on any medications or prone to allergic reactions. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. Back to Top
How Should I Take BetterWOMAN?
Two capsules daily. Minimum recommended dosage 3-4 bottles. Take a 3-day break between bottles. Continue using thereafter for ongoing improvement and maintenance. For faster results, you may take 2 capsules twice or three times a day. If you are new to BetterWOMAN product and want to decide how many bottles to order to start with, we highly recommend the 4-bottle or 6-bottle packages. These popular packages would give you a good chance to see to the product working for you. If you are repeating users, we highly recommend you order the membership packages that would save you both money and the time to manage your supply. Same as you care about your skin with moisturizer, you do need to care about your bladder on an ongoing basis. It is important to remember that your bladder control problems did not develop overnight. It will take time for BetterWOMAN to help you. Be patient, follow the usage directions, and monitor your progresses carefully because the changes might be small and minute to begin with. Test Your Bladder with the form regularly. Contact us if you have any questions. Back to Top
Do I Have to Take BetterWOMAN Forever?
If you feel very comfortable with your regained bladder control, you can take a break from using BetterWOMAN until you feel you need it again. The benefits will not go away immediately. However since the human body is a metabolizing machine, you may have to replenish your system based on your individual need. The best approach is to take BetterWOMAN on a regular basis. BetterWOMAN not only specifically improves bladder control but also systematically provides anti-aging benefits for women via improving blood circulation and modulating hormone balance naturally, especially for women over 45 years old. As we age, it is important to provide the body some help to slow down the aging process. BetterWOMAN can help you. Back to Top

A lovely relaxing trip. Transfers were on time and the Guide was very helpful and friendly. The food was lovely and plentiful. The itinerary for the 2nd swim and snorkelling stop in the afternoon was changed as the Captain realised it would be raining when we got there so he altered course and we avoided the rain. As it was extremely hot the limitless cold water and soft drinks were much appreciated.
SO MUCH FUN!!! The food was amazing and the crew was super accomidating. Mai was hands down a great host and brings so much life to the tour! Not to mention we also saw dolphins on the way back to port; Best experience of our trip so far, must book!
Great fun, unfortunately some weather meant we were not able to reach our original destination. this meant snorkelling was limited but great fun and great food all the same.
A great cruise. Picked up from Samui hotel on time. Once on the Red Baron staff were more than helpful.Excellent food.Stunning scenery.
Limited time snorkelling due to slow transfer to long boats.
We had a fabulous time, tour guide was great and boat staff was awesome. Everything is included except alcohol. We didn't have a full tour, but even other people on cruise were fun. Snorkeling spot is good with coral and fish, water was clear. We got to jump off of the double decker boat, food was good.
One of the best tours we have ever booked! Excellent tour, friendly staff and great brunch!
Amazing snorkelling beach, however the day we went out was too windy so spent way too much time in the boat with large waves rocking usa bigger speed boat would have been more suited to the open seas. Food was great. No massages as advertised tho.
This was a fun way to get off Koh Samui and explore the waters of Koh Phangan, but the snorkeling wasn't really any better than our resort in Lamai beach. The food on the cruise was exceptional - some of the best we had during our time in Thailand. A fun activity, but if you're looking for great snorkeling then you'll probably want an activity that takes you to one of the other islands near Koh Samui.
The crew were very nice and food was great, but the snorkeling was way less that optimal - the water was very cloudy and it was difficult to see fish. The fish we did see were very small and nothing special. There also was no direction from the crew regarding the snorkeling equipment - mask only.
Lovely relaxing day,visiting a couple of near deserted beaches. Superb food, plenty of soft drinks to hand, and alcoholic also at an extra cost. Good comentry from the captain and good music played throughout the day. Very enjoyable

Happy New Year! I'm back from my blogger break and wedding planning hiatus. I am so excited about 2010 - the beginning of a new decade and the year I will start my married life with Big Spoon! 2009 went by so quickly and I have a great deal to be thankful for. I'll work backwards from today ...
New Year's Eve 2009:
We invited our closest friends over and had a ton of fun ringing in the new year. Also, it appears that 2010 is the year of weddings: three of our close friend couples are engaged and planning summer/late summer weddings. Oh my! We are so excited for all of them.
Christmas 2009
We had such a wonderful, low-key Christmas this year. It was our first year to celebrate Christmas together. We headed up to my family's celebration on Christmas Eve to be with my parents, maternal grandparents, brother, sisters and brothers-in-law and niece and nephew. Christmas day, Big Spoon's parents flew in from Colorado and were here through Tuesday and they totally spoil us. I am always sad to see them leave and miss them like I've known them forever.
Oh, and Big Spoon gave me a Tiffany's charm! Isn't it cute?
Fall 2009
Oh, let's see ... we booked Down South Delights catering in November, celebrated our 1st year dating anniversary and chose Rose Mont Mansion for our wedding and reception in October.
Summer 2009
We (as in my parents) purchased my wedding dress in August, celebrated Big Spoon's birthday, had engagement pictures made in June and celebrated my birthday! Oh, and I bought a new car :)
Spring 2009
This quarter of 2009 was marked by travel - a weekend trip to Colorado and a romantic getaway to New York City. Big Spoon proposed in Central Park on April 13. It all felt like a dream and sometimes, it still does. I started our blog in 2009 as well.
Winter 2009
Shopping for engagement rings in January is definitely an experience I will never forget. Both surreal and exciting as this experience was, the most shocking part was falling in love with classic solitaires. I love my ring more every day. Big Spoon did a great job matching my personality to my engagement ring - classic brilliant round with a flat, small modern band. Even down to the surprise side diamonds, its perfect.
Although there were some shadows - work, relationships, the economy - overall, I couldn't have asked for a better year. I am so lucky to be in love with my best friend, to be surrounded by family and friends and continue my career in design into the new year.
Thanks for reading, folks. Happy New Year.
Friday, January 01, 2010
Happy New Year!

LOVE the charm! :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful charm! Way to go, Big Spoon! :) And yes, I am SOOO enjoying "Conscious Bride". I have two chapters remaining. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on it. Heck, come to think of it...once we're finished with it, I'd love to chat about it over coffee. What do you think?ReplyDelete

Tim Wakefield says he has received interest from a few other teams, but if it's up to the 45-year-old knuckleballer, he'll play one more farewell season in Boston.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Why have I had my period for 20 days now?"
Three months of bleeding after my sons birth in June 2010, that was after I took the depo. No period until two weeks ago and still bleeding. Just stopped breastfeeding son last month. The .menstrual is dark red and the flow is sometime crazy no stopping in between its everyday I am bleeding I cant leave the house without a pad on. Always has had normal periods 7 days, and 28 day cycles
Having a period lasting more than 7 days is not considered within the normal range. The typical length for menstruation is 3-5 days of the 28-day menstrual cycle. Your excessive bleeding is a medical condition called menorrhagia. There are numerous causes of menorrhagia, and it is not possible to pinpoint a specific cause of your menorrhagia without an in-person evaluation. It could be an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. In a normal menstrual cycle, there is a balance between estrogen and progesterone, the two hormones in your body that regulate the buildup of the endometrium (uterine lining of blood and tissue), which is shed each month during menstruation. When there is an imbalance in these hormones, the endometrium keeps building up. Depo Provera can cause such imbalance. However, a recurrent menorrhagia can be a serious medical condition. Several medical conditions include, but not limited to, a blood clotting disorder, endometriosis, uterine fibroids or polyps, pelvic inflammatory disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid and pituitary disorders, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial carcinoma, and dysfuncional uterine bleeding (or a heavy bleeding with unkown reason). I would recommend a visit with a primary care physician or OBGYN soon not only to determine the underlying cause of your menorrhagia but also to get it under control because losing a lot of blood during the menstrual period can cause other medical problems like anemia.

Conference 2006
In 2006 the Kurt Lewin Institute Conference was organized on June 8 and 9 in conference centre Woudschoten in Zeist.
Keynote speakers
Keynote speakers of this conference were prof.dr. Arie Kruglanski ( University of Maryland, USA), Gün Semin (VU University Amsterdam) and prof.dr. Joop van der Pligt (University of Amsterdam).
Conference themes
The conference was organized around 4 topics that had been central in social and organizational psychology in the previous couple of years. Each theme was organized and chaired by two theme chairs.
|"The self-ruling human being"
Chair: prof.dr. Ap Dijksterhuis (University of Amsterdam) and prof.dr. Nico van Yperen (University of Groningen)
|"Do people act like sheep?"
Chair: dr. Daan Scheepers (Leiden University) and dr. Rick van Baaren (University of Amsterdam)
|"Social pain and exclusion"
Chair: dr. Colette van Laar (Leiden University) and prof.dr. Kees van den Bos (Utrecht University)
Chair: dr. Sabine Otten (University of Groningen) and dr. Fieke Harinck (Leiden University)
In each conference theme, speakers from all tracks of the KLI presented their research. The goal of this overarching approach was to stimulate fruitful discussions and exchanges that bridge the different tracks and shed new light on the topics by combining and integrating perspectives from different levels of analysis (i.e., intrapersonal, interpersonal, group and organization, and intergroup).
Best Paper Award
The KLI Best Paper Award 2006 was awarded to Ruud Custers, who presented his paper at the conference.
The complete conference program can be downloaded here.
