Your S.M.A.R.T. 2013
48 Million results in .025 seconds.
That's what happens when you Google "New Year Resolutions." And, the results not only deliver the top resolutions, but most importantly, the reason they fail. So, while everyone is writing about them, and everyone searching for the reasons resolutions fail, I just wanted to share my approach to 2013 resolutions. Hopefully, it will help you.
Late December. In the car. At a stop light. That's when I started to think about my list. I was listening to a lecture from iTunes U about goals. I was reminded of a very simple tool to use when considering my new year goals. Assign some structure to them so that you can make them happen.
The SMART mnemonic system is nothing new. It's all over the internet. But, helps me filter out the realistic goals from the ha, that will never happen.
SMART Goals
Specific – Goal: Get Organized. That's not very specific. Shift it to Organize my paper files. Shift that to All files be stored electronically in 2013.
Measurable – Your goal has to be measurable so that you know you are making progress. Progress is your reward. In order to measure my progress, I will measure the reduction of paper files. If all goes according to plan, my filing cabinet will not be full. Rather, it will get lighter. No papers laying around or overflowing from the filing cabinet.
Attainable – is this goal realistic? Yes. I answer that by asking how I will achieve this. I have a scanner. I'm able to set up files on my computer.
Relevant – I ask myself " does this goal matter?" Yes, this goal aligns to my overall desire to have a clean, uncluttered environment. And a less hectic life. It's really worthwhile when it comes to tax season. I will be able to pull electronic files and send PDFs to CPA. We recently refinanced our mortgage and the bank wanted everything electronically. I wished I had this system already in place when we refinanced.
Time-bound- I need a deadline to keep me on track! If I didn't have a deadline, it wouldn't get done. January (1st week), I set up electronic files. Weekly I scan all docs and file. Wait, "weekly" is not very specific. Every Saturday morning I will spend 1/2 hour, I will pay bills, scan and file. Hopefully before the kids wake up.
With this system, I've made my vague goal of getting organized more specific by making it SMART.
Try it. If you can't apply the SMART system to your goal, don't feel bad about tossing it aside. Step in to something else to make it a better 2013.
Happy New You.

In Morganville, Texas, it is prohibited to go outside after dark. If you disobey, it is at your own risk. What lurks in the shadows? One word that is notoriously famous. VAMPIRES. Once you enter this forsaken town, you never leave, and if you do, you lose all your memories, which is how the vampires have been able to survive this long. How have humans lasted in this town? By protection, which is given by vampires in the form of bracelets(if the bracelet is red it's expired). In return, a human is a slave to these blood-thirsty fiends. These creatures of the night satisfy their thirst from the humans, who are required to donate blood at the hospital, thus quenching the vampire's hunger. Gone are the sparkly vegetarian vampires who refuse to drink from humans. In this series, vampires are bloodthirsty, evil beings.

Good effort falls just short at SEC Tournament
Jump to Tennessee box score GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Despite 19 kills from Kele Brewer and 14 from Jennifer Haaser the University of Arkansas suffered a tough four-game loss to No. 12 Tennessee in the second round of the 2004 Southeastern Conference Volleyball Tournament in Gainesville, Fla., Saturday. The 30-23, 22-30, 23-30, 21-30 loss drops the Lady'Backs to 16-14 overall while the Lady Vols improve to 28-2 on the year and advance to the finals against the winner of Florida/Georgia Sunday. Arkansas' elimination from the tournament marks just the third time in 11 seasons the Lady'Backs failed to reach the finals of the league tournament. The Lady'Backs were solid in the first frame paced by Brewer with seven kills. Arkansas and Tennessee traded points early in the game until the Lady'Backs took a 14-13 lead thanks to a kill from junior Karla Crose. Crose crushed an overpass from Tennessee punching the ball down inside the 10-foot line and sparking the Lady'Backs. Arkansas never trailed from that point on opening a much as a five point lead before winning by seven, 30-23. "I was really proud of the way we played especially in the first game," said Arkansas head coach Chris Poole. "We came out focused and took care of the ball well. You have to credit Tennessee though. They stepped up when they had to." Arkansas never led in the second game but never trailed by much either in the methodical contest. Tennessee began to pull away about the mid-point and the Lady'Backs couldn't catch up. Arkansas had several opportunities in the third and fourth games but just as they began to feel the momentum shift to the Lady'Back side of the net, an Arkansas miscue seemed take the wind out of their sails. The Lady'Backs held the lead in the third game until allowing Tennessee to tie the frame on a dump from their setter making it 15-all. The Lady Vols went on to take the lead and never looked back.. Arkansas again had a lead in the fourth game but a composed Tennessee team wasn't easy to rattle as the Lady Vols just chipped away at the score until tying things at 13 and again at 15 before grabbing the lead for good. "We've been allowing teams little mini-runs all season and that was again a factor today," said Poole. "You just cant' do that against good teams. We're young, though, and we'll be back. I feel like we've learned from each match this year and our maturity on the court gets better each time we play." Arkansas finished the match hitting just .118 with two players, Brewer and Haaser, in double-digit kills. Tennessee did a good job of taking libero Ashley Miller out of the primary passing roll limiting her digs to just 10. Haaser lead the team with 12 while freshman Amanda Eskridge added 11 for the Lady'Backs. The Lady Razorbacks conclude the 2004 regular season at the Fort Worth Plaza Invitational taking on Southern Methodist and Texas Christian Friday and Saturday, Nov. 26-27, in Fort Worth, Texas.

A breathtakingly beautiful expanse of mountain plateau rich in wildlife, history and culture in the Limpopo province of South Africa, 3 hours drive north of Johannesburg. The Beauty and unique diversity of this 14,500 sq km wilderness has been recognised worldwide in being awarded the status of a World Biosphere Reserve by Unesco.
As well as an exceptional destination for safaris and those looking for unspoilt wilderness, it is malaria-free and there is also a wide menu of interesting places to visit and things to do.
They were followed by the Sothos and Tswanas, whose descendants are still the predominant tribes in the area today. The majority of the staff team at Jembisa are Sotho.
In the 1850s the early trekkers, many of whom had come all the way up from the Cape in their wagons started to settle in the area. These were hardy people ekeing out an existence in a wild area. It was them who gave the area the name of the Waterberg due to it's ability to hold water in it's sponge –like rocks and enjoy streams of bountiful water all year long.
Today there are descendants of all the historical settlers in the area plus the addition of more recent settlers from far and wide who have been drawn to the area due to it's beauty and wilderness. This creates a pot pourri of different peoples and cultures resulting in a richly diversified and interesting community

The Sheriff's Crime Reduction Unit, a seven-member squad focusing on Colorado Springs drug crimes, has been temporarily disbanded after a shooting in Colorado Springs left one woman dead, according to a recent news report from KRDO.
Each of the seven unit members were reassigned to other law enforcement groups within the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and are expected to continue serving as sheriff's deputies, according to the sheriff's office. The reassignment follows an incident in which members of the unit were serving a warrant on another, unrelated person, when a woman suspected of escape and driving a stolen vehicle drove over one deputy's foot as she was trying to leave the area. Another deputy fired a shot into the vehicle, which was later found to have resulted in the driver's death.
Although the sheriff's office stated that at least one deputy from the Crime Reduction Unit was involved in the shooting, the office did not specify whether or not the reassignments are related to the shooting. The sheriff's office also stated that no decision has been made yet about whether or not to make the reassignments permanent. In 2010, the sheriff's office credited the Crime Reduction Unit with 335 arrests and seizing over $46,000 of methamphetamines.
Convictions for drug-related crimes carry heavy penalties, so it's crucial to fight to protect your rights if you've been charged with a drug crime. At The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., our experienced Colorado Springs drug crime defense attorneys fight for the best possible outcome in each client's case.

In a recent Chinese-English and Arabic-English machine translation competition, Google's entrant demolished the competition, taking first place in 35 out of 36 different categories. Unlike typical teams, not a single person on the Google team speaks either Chinese or Arabic. Their technology is based completely on computational analysis texts written by native speakers. It isn't completely clear what sort of computational techniques were used, but from what I can tell, either a neural net or a genetic algorithm appears likely.
Beginning from perfect ignorance, as its data set grows, Google's software learns to match strings of Arabic or Chinese characters to their English counterparts. This produces a raw translation, which the software tidies up by rearranging the words into fluent English using patterns it has learnt from studying English texts.
The approach can produce impressive results, but requires no knowledge of the languages involved. Philipp Koehn, a machine-translation expert at the University of Edinburgh, UK, who entered the evaluation using a similar approach to Google's, says that when he began working on software to translate Arabic into English his computer did not even have the software to display Arabic text.
Nature.com: Google tops translation ranking
What interests me most in this is how close Google's translations match those performed by human translators.
The NIST evaluation measures the degree to which their outputs match a reference document produced by a human translator. Google's highest score — achieved for Arabic-to-English translations of newswire text — had 50% similarity to the reference, comparing favourably to the 60% that a different human translator of the same document might achieve.
I don't think we'll be seeing universal translators soon, but still, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see low end translation jobs disappearing in the next few years. If you're a translator, now might be the time to head up the value chain into literature, legal translation, and other more difficult categories of work.

I'm loving everything about Ryan Murphy being on Twitter. Yeah yeah, I adore seeing Lea Michele's pics of vacation time and laughing at Chris Colfer's hilarious updates, but Murphy -- he brings the juice. We gushed when he Tweeted that too-cute-for-words love sesh between Kurt and Blaine, and now -- he's back with more.
This time we're catching up with everyone's favorite dancing couple, Mike and Tina. Murphy's giving us the tender goodbye that never made it into the season 3 finale because of time constraints, and I am gaga over it. Seriously, Harry Shum Jr. has never looked so ridiculously handsome. He's so grown-up. So college-bound. I melt!
Check it out, here:
So Gleetastically sentimental and mushy, I love it. Heck, I'd go visit Chicago to see a face like that one. But really, it's such an adorable moment between Mike and Tina and a touching interaction with Mike's parents. I can't help but wonder what other goodness didn't make the final cut.
In my mind, these tweets and all of the extra Glee goodies we get on a regular basis, that's what makes this one of the best shows out there for the fans. I feel so appreciated! Murphy is a smart guy, he knows that it's important to keep everyone engaged during the off-season. You better believe that I'll stick around checkin' Twitter for more gems like this one, Murph!
What do you think about the deleted scene? Would you have kept it in the show?

MS in Actuarial Science
Actuaries use quantitative skills to help others make prudent and intelligent financial decisions. These decisions are based on future predictions that are derived from past and present data analyses. Most actuaries work for life, health, and property/casualty insurance companies. However, many are employed by consulting firms, government agencies, accounting firms, industrial corporations, banks, and financial services companies.
Although actuaries are skilled mathematicians, they are also business professionals who need broad-based business skills. Many actuaries find themselves in high-level management positions. In addition, the prospective actuary needs to prepare for the professional qualifying examinations offered by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. Fellowship in either of these two professional societies assures the public that the actuary has been trained to perform at a high level of competence. Actuaries, as well as other business professionals, are often asked to make decisions that have far-reaching social implications. Very often these decisions involve a balancing of competing social and ethical values that are never fully disclosed or discussed. Examples of such decisions may include issues involving the environment, affirmative action, right to privacy, and plant closings.
Boston University's Actuarial Science program provides specialized courses in actuarial science and related courses in probability and statistics. The program also offers students a broad-based exposure to business and economic principles along with an opportunity to further their knowledge of mathematics. In addition, the program will prepare each student for the professional qualifying examinations. And finally, the program will provide an opportunity for students to be aware of and understand the ethical dilemmas that are often encountered in the process of business decision making.
Students may select one of two concentrations depending on their areas of interest and preparation:
- Insurance
- Mathematical Finance
Dual Degree Option
Appreciating the converging nature of management skills and technology, the Department of Actuarial Science has special relationships with Metropolitan College's Administrative Sciences and Computer Science departments. With prior approval, students in either program are able to apply 8 credit hours from one degree toward a second degree, thereby reducing their work on the second degree by two courses. Students must be accepted independently by both departments but may request that application materials, such as references and transcripts, be forwarded from their initial program to their second.
Admission Requirements
Candidates for admission to the degree program are selected on the basis of academic transcripts, academic references, and their personal statements.
To satisfy the minimum requirements to be considered for the Master of Science in Actuarial Science degree program, applicants must:
- Have a bachelor's degree

- Submit results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination (international students only)
In certain cases, the Admissions Committee may request an applicant to submit official scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).
A maximum of two graduate-level courses (8 credits) taken at Metropolitan College before acceptance into the program may be applied toward the degree.
International Applicants
Applicants whose native language is not English and who have not received a degree from an institution where the primary language of instruction is English, should submit a TOEFL score. For current information on the TOEFL examination, please visit www.ets.org/toefl. The TOEFL institution score for Boston University Metropolitan College graduate programs is 3087.
Foreign students with a low TOEFL score may be admitted to the program subject to an English program offered through the Boston University Center for English Language & Orientation Programs (CELOP).
To allow for processing time, applicants requiring student visas must submit completed application materials and International Students & Scholars office (ISSO) forms at least six weeks prior to the start of the semester.
International applicants must submit the following materials:
- Score from Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), directly mailed from the Educational Testing Service (ETS)
- Authorized financial statement from a bank (original, shown in US dollars)
- Copy of current I-20 and I-94, both sides (if applicable)

Lacy dog had no interest.
Which is good. She has a proper respect for YOUR things. You don't want dogs thinking that your stuff is theirs. Really. You don't.
It isn't a belt that I wear, if that is what you mean. It is an old belt, that was being used to hold together a mattress topper-ish thing for easy storage. The topper was rolled up, and the belt kept it rolled up.
We need a new game. They may not, but I do. This isn't exactly a game, but... today I took a belt with me, as I walked around the house doing different things. I let the belt drag by my side. I'm holding it, not wearing it. Different cats tried to catch the belt, at different times. It was a hoot! Lacy dog had no interest.
But that's still "your" stuff. Dogs that recognize that are intelligently respectful.
I think I know what you mean... she likely sees it as a cat toy... their toy. She doesn't play with their toys, unless they "invite" her to play WITH them.
kittens who need to be trained not to attack ankles..
I always think it's so great when some households can have multi-species pets all together. I'm not trying though. Prey drive is TOO strong in these two. Barkly kills moles. Vlad goes berserk when he sees the neighbors' cats out in the brush. Then there's their reaction to cats in carriers at the vet's office. Just too much risk in my mind.
I agree about prey drive and such. In your shoes, I would leave things as they are. Lacy is only comfortable with the ones she lives with. Other animals at the vet office, on walks, etc.. she goes into FULL panic. Okay so she doesn't want to attack them, but... a fearful dog is (or can be) a dangerous dog. IMHO Friends or family will see how loving Lacy is, and want to bring their dogs over to our home. No! Going back to prey drive... when Arrows would run out the door and into the backyard.... Lacy would "catch" him. She would just cut him off of his running path... to where we could catch him. After a few times, we would say to Lacy "Catch Arrows!" The last time, she stood over Arrows. She didn't do anything, but stand over him, but...first time ever, Arrows was scared. He stood like a statue. It hit us... we are encouraging Lacy's prey drive... and Arrows knows it! Never again. Anytime he got out after that, we told Lacy "no." She didn't help. She is AWESOME and smart!

In last week's article (Weekly Preview, June, 3, 2011), we took a closer look at the effect of seasonal infertility on farrowing rate, repeat services, wean-to-first service interval and female death loss. We used the same data set – fall of 2009 to fall of 2010 – for this article. Again, only farms with a 12.5-total born/litter average or better for the past two years were used for this article.
Geographically, the 49 qualifying farms were located as follows: nine farms in southern states, 24 farms in northern states, and 16 farms in Canada. The division for north and south farms was determined by the Mason-Dixon Line.
Chart 1, Total Born/Female (by breeding data), shows adjusted data to reflect the total born/litter based on breeding date to see if there were any seasonal effects. For the 12 months in the dataset, the average of total pigs born/litter in Canadian herds was13.42 pigs, in northern states was 13.66 pigs, and in southern states was 12.59 pigs.
Focusing on Canada (blue line), you will see very little change in total born by month, especially in the summer months, starting in June with 13.28 pigs, July at 13.24 pigs, August at 13.59 pigs, September at 13.59, and October at 13.48 pigs/litter. Farrowing rate for sows bred in those months only dropped 2-3% during July, August and September breeding.
Looking at the data from farms in the north (red line), you will see total born/litter of sows bred in June at 13.75 pigs, dropping to 13.50 pigs in July, then 13.28 total born in August, then back up to 13.83 in September, and a nice jump to 14.0 pigs in October. That's a difference of 0.75 pigs/litter, worst-to-best. In last week's article, these same farms had the largest drop in farrowing rate from summer breedings.
The data for the farms in the southern states (green line) started off the lowest at 12.59 pigs/litter. In July, total born dropped to 12.01 pigs, August was 12.24 pigs, September at 12.90 pigs, and then back up to 13.14 pigs/litter in October. These farms showed the biggest improvement – over a pig/litter improvement during that stretch. The southern farms did not drop as much in farrowing rate as farms in the north, nor did the drop last as long.
As the data suggests, a drop in farrowing rate does affect total pigs born for the next litter. Therefore, not only do you have fewer litters, you also have fewer pigs to send to the finisher or to be sold as Isowean pigs.
Piglet survival (Chart 2) is a calculation where we subtract stillborn % and preweaning death loss % from 100% to provide a survival number. We are not concerned about which bucket the dead pigs are placed in. What is important is there is potential to save more pigs.
During the 12-month period, Canada (blue line) averaged 81.1% piglet survival rate, the north (red line) averaged 77.8%, and the south (green line) averaged 83.6%. Farms in the south did the best job of saving pigs, but there is also a lot of month-to-month variation in piglet survival, ranging from 78 to 87% over the last 12 months. There was a drop in late December, the second half of March and April, then in late July showed steady improvement.
Canadian farms showed less month-to-month variation, the best months being March through July. There was a small dip in early September when survival percent dropped to 78%.
For the northern farms, which had the lowest 12 months average at 77.8%, the line was very flat with the least amount of month-to-month variation, even though they had the highest total pigs born.
Looking at each region's piglet survival performance separately, Chart 3 (Canada), Chart 4 (North) and Chart 5 (South), reinforce the large variation from farm-to-farm. There is probably some seasonal effect on piglet survival, but it is minimal as compared to the effects of people, sows, facilities, etc.
Next, we broke piglet survival into two components – Preweaning Death Loss (Chart 6) and Stillborns (Chart 7), which allowed us to see the trend lines by region.
For preweaning death loss, the 12-month average for Canada (blue line) was at 12.8%, for the north (red line) was 14.5%, and in the southern states (green line) averaged 11.1%. The farms for Canada and the northern states showed less month-to-month variation , while farms in the south had some spikes (sows farrowed in late December, late-March and April), and in the summer months, with a range of 8-12% in preweaning death loss.
Tracking stillborns, the 12-month average for Canada was 6.1%, in northern states was 7.7%, and in the south was 5.3%. All three regions showed some increase in stillborn pigs in early June and started declining in late August. The farms in the south had a big increase in stillborns in late-July, early-August, during the hottest weeks of the summer.
As you can see from the data, there is some effect on total born by the summer breeding season, with the most effect on farms in the south. As far as piglet survival, preweaning death loss, and stillborn pigs, we see a large variation from farm-to-farm, with some increase in stillborns during the summer months. However, there were other periods of the year, especially in the southern states, where preweaning death loss increased.
Here are a few suggestions to help improve the summer infertility period as it is related to farrowing and saving more pigs:
• Increase weekly breeding target by 5-10%, so more sows farrow and more pigs are born per group.
• Review semen management. Check temperature at delivery and monitor temperature in semen storage coolers. There should be no more than a 2-3° F. change during a 24-hour period.
• Provide supplemental cooling for all sows in gestation and lactation with cool cells, drippers, and/or fans.
• Sows in gestation will drink 2-4 gal./day and in lactation will drink 6-10 gal./day, which could increase 50% during extremely hot days. Make sure nipple waters in lactation flow at least 2 quarts/minute.
• Maximize feed intake in lactation by feeding sows several times per day. Have someone return to the farm in the evening to feed sows when it is cooler. Lactating sows should have ad-lib access to feed starting the day after farrowing. Make every effort to get younger females to eat as much as they can.
• Piglet survival can be improved by having someone attend more of the farrowings during the day and, if possible, into the evening. As the number of pigs born/litter increases, sows take longer to farrow and may need extra assistance, particularly in hot weather.
• If you can dry pigs at birth, fewer pigs will lie next to the sow in an attempt to keep warm, increasing their chances of getting laid on; you will also need fewer heat lamps.
• Start breeding sows earlier in the morning when they and the heat-check boars are less stressed. Use heat-check boars only 1-2 hours before rotating them to keep them fresh and aggressive. Make sure that you heat check into the flow of the cool cells to reduce sows getting early pheromone exposure and going into standing reflex before you are ready to breed them.
• Be sure to carry the semen in a cooler with cool packs to reduce the effect of heat on the semen before insemination.
The summer heat does appear to affect total pigs born for the next litter with less affect on stillborns and preweaning death loss. Again, as with most data, there is a lot of variation from farm-to-farm and region-to-region. With advanced planning and improved management techniques, a farm can overcome some of the effects of seasonal infertility and their impact on pig survival.
Key Performance Indicators
Tables 1 and 2 (below) provide 52-week and 13-week rolling averages for key performance indicators (KPI) of breeding herd performance. These tables reflect the most current quarterly data available and are presented with each column. The KPI's can be used as general guidelines to measure the productivity of your herd compared to the top 10% and top 25% of farms, the average performance for all farms, and the bottom 25% of farms in the SMS database.
If you have questions or comments about these columns, or if you have a specific performance measurement that you would like to see benchmarked in our database, please address them to: firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

Hey guys,
first post here
Righto, I'm about to dive into the world of analogue synths and wouldn't mind hearing some opinions on how my dollars would be best spent. I've gotten very familiar with Ableton over the past 6 or so years but I'm ready to step it up a notch with some good hardware equipment.
I'm a big fan of most well known Techno artists, namely Stephan Bodzin, Oliver Huntemann, Maceo Plex etc.
So here's what I'm looking at:
Option 1: Arturia Minibrute 2S + Roland TR8S Drum Machine Option 2: Moog Sub 37
I'm open to all other suggestions also within this kind of price range, but from what I've seen these are the kind of machines that will satisfy the type of sounds I'm looking for.
Obviously option 1 would be more suited to live performances, but that's only a small factor at the present time. I just thought that if I had the funds available for the Moog, as well as being very influenced by the amazing sounds of Mr. Stephan Bodzin, should I just go for it? Or would I find the Minibrute 2S and the TR8S more rewarding in terms of Techno production/creativity/fun etc.
Any replies are much appreciated,

I believe in resolutions. At least the do-able ones.
I will lose five pounds in January. I know I can, I've done it at least three times this year, the same five pounds.
I'll write.
And I'll keep this annual resolution, at which I've been spectacularly successful:
To Make New Mistakes Next Year

If you want to tackle the questions you may have been ducking, feel like you're ready for a big shift, or are willing to take an unvarnished look at how you are showing up as a leader in your company or in your life, Maile should be the first call you make."
Are you a high achiever that is ready to invest in your career and your professional growth?
Are you an intrepid and curious leader?
Are you the person that makes investment decisions about high impact coaching/consulting leaders to work with your organization?
You've come to the right place. I help senior leaders advance their goals by using curiosity to innovate and lead workplace and team environments that get powerful results. One of my clients recently told me that when he works with me, it feels like fireworks are going off in his head. And that is what it is like to work with curiosity and me. When we engage curiosity it lights up three different parts of our brains. It opens us up to possibilities, learning, new paths, improved workplaces and relationships; it moves us out of judgement and being right; and it gets to improved personal and business results.
I'm curious to hear what you are thinking about or working on. Please click the button below, send me a note, and I'll be back in touch to schedule a time and talk about what you want to accomplish.

When I go to Project Linus meetings, no one wears name tags and it drives me crazy! I've been wanting to make myself one for a while to wear to those meetings and other quilt related events. When I found out I was going to QuiltCon, it gave me the needed kick to finally do it!
At some point last year, I won a scrap pack of fabric from Karen Lewis through Scraptastic Tuesday. I knew that I wanted to use it to make the fabulous rainbow sewing machine designed by Kristy of Quiet Play. I bought the smaller version of her pattern and made the 6" version.
And I love my finished block, but it was way to big to be a name tag. Husband to the rescue! He scanned the block so I could shrink it, and then I printed it on fabric. I embroidered my name, then did a 1/2" crosshatch quilting. And I love it!
At my work, we use magnetic name tags. I have a few work study students and the nature of those positions means high turnover, so I had a few name tags for students who didn't work for me any more. I hand sewed the name tap part to the back of my name tag so that I can use the magnetic back.
At the last minute, I decided to make name tags for my QuiltCon roommates, too. None of them knew me prior to QuiltCon and they let me crash with them fairly last minute. For theirs, I printed their names instead of embroidery. Sadly, I didn't remember to take a picture. But they were a hit, and a few people at QuiltCon told me that they saw other people "from my group" because they recognized the name tag.
This was goal #2 on my list of Q1 goals for the globally hosted finish along.

A newly planted broadleaved woodland with a large pool.
Created on arable farmland on the edge of Rugby, this nature reserve was created on land donated by Sainsburys, to mitigate the building of its nearby supermarket.
The diverse mixture of habitats that have developed now support an already impressive array of plants and animals. A large pool adds considerable diversity, with water-lilies and pondweeds hiding an assortment of aquatic life. Frog, toad, moorhen and dragonfly breed here, with fascinating water boatmen and diving beetles indicating the successful creation of the fast establishing pool.
Winter 2018/19
Woodland Management on this nature reserve
We will be thinning out parts of the woodland over winter 2018/19 to improve the nature reserve for both people and wildlife.
Thinning is essential in young woodlands and keeps them healthy. Over time, more light and structural diversity will improve it as a valuable local nature reserve.
At times footpaths may be closed off so please pay attention to any signage and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Reserve work party
There is a weekly work party of fantastic volunteers here at Cock Robin Wood. They get hands-on looking after the reserve.
If you're interested in volunteering please contact email@example.com.
Green and Healthy Rugby ran in 2016 introducing people to getting active outdoors at our reserves. There is strong evidence of the health and wellbeing benefits of getting active outside.
We hosted free taster sessions in 2016 and had a great turnout with lots of people becoming regular volunteers. Find out more about the success of Green and Healthy Rugby!

If you passed by Darien Elementary School this afternoon (about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 2), you may have noticed police and emergency responders at the building and students evacuating.
This was an "active shooter" drill only and students and staff practiced exiting the building swiftly and getting to a safe location.
Police and emergency responders were present to observe, take part in the drill, and to help teach students and staff what to do should there ever be such a situation.
Teachers practiced safety procedures to ensure they had all students accounted for and had their "emergency go bags" with them.
Following the drill, school and emergency responders will review the exercise and update emergency procedures as appropriate.

The camp, which runs from Jan. 11-Feb. 6 and contains a mix of Senior Team members and a host of players age-eligible for the U-23 MNT, will culminate with friendlies against Iceland on Jan. 31 [TICKETS] and Canada on Feb. 5 [TICKETS]. Both matches will be played at StubHub Center in Carson.

On Tuesday I started something I've been meaning to do for a long time. I mentioned it briefly in the last post but thought I'd elaborate on it now.
Over the past two years I've been experimenting with different styles of PLD: Wide focus with all staff, small groups, workshops and one-on-one sessions.
What I've found is that for those in the early majority and late majority - the wide focus sessions work fine. The late majority tend to ask the most questions and stop the flow of the learning but at least they're getting involved and trying to learn. The laggards sit there doing next to nothing, often refusing to participate or watching others participate and sometimes giving very negative responses.
The early adopters and innovators get frustrated with this style of learning as often they aready know the majority of this kind of PLD - and if not, they pick it up fast and go and do their own research at home or during the session... the early adopters are often relied on to answer the questions of the late majority and are the ones who try and inspire the early majority to activate them into becoming early adopters.
During the small group sessions, most people are engaged as they've come to the session prepared with questions and ideas for what they want to learn more about.
During the workshops and one-on-one sessions, colleagues are supported with facilitation and direct help and support when needed. Colleagues have found these the most effective and often use the learning from the sessions in their own classes much faster than compared with the wide focus sessions.
Because our eLearning PLD has been few and far between and the issues around organising a space and time to organise PLD for staff... although it could easily be done through using GForms (for staff to choose their sessions) and GDocs (for us to create and collaborate on ideas) and GSlides (to create the sessions and share the learning with all of the staff)... I decided it was time to implement 'Byte Sized PLD'.
The main reason for Byte Sized PLD is because there is a lack of time to learn new things. If I deliver a short and sweet weekly email with links, ideas and shared examples of new use of tech in class by colleagues then perhaps our staff will feel more empowered, confident and ready to engage with new learning when they need it or have time for it.
On Tuesday I sent the first one out with links to some of the learning I did in the break at the PPTA Māori Teacher's conference and at Connect Day in Hamilton. I think I'll also share these Byte Sized PLD emails as posts on here too. Could become a really cool way of sharing and acknowledging the awesome work our staff at Heights are doing.
Just hoping I keep up with the weekly emails!!

Stories we hear growing up can really linger in the mind. Yesterday I told my father on the phone that Jeff and I are looking forward to the occasional rendezvous in Chicago while I am in Iowa.
"Chicago!" he shuddered. "Don't go there."
"Why not?"
"It's too dangerous," he said. "Gangsters."
As my father's mind continues its bumpy downward slope, I'm not surprised to hear such things. He was born in 1932, a time when "Chicago" and "gangster" formed an easy association.
"I think Chicago is okay," I said, wanting to reassure him. "I think it's like New York, there's less crime than there used to be."
"Hmm," he said. He sounded doubtful. I changed the subject.
I am excited to visit the art museum with my husband, to hear the Symphony, to walk along the lake. But then I started thinking. What if my dad is right? His considerable wisdom continues to surprise me, arriving in unexpected, luminous bursts, not yet extinguished by the graying of his fading brain. While writing this post, I Googled "Chicago," and at the top of the scroll was this headline: "Forty-five people were shot over Easter weekend in Chicago." Most of this violence was gang-related: the new gangsters.
So my father is awake. Maybe he knows more than I think he does about the state of the world. Is this one of his wise flashes?
I think it is as safe to visit Chicago as any other major American city. I anticipate with pleasure and curiosity, not with fear, the discovery of a vibrant city. I choose to shed my father's protective cloak of fear as often as I can.
And yet. And yet, a parent who still, no matter what our ages, worries about his son traveling so far from home, so far from his care: what could make more sense than that?

First off, Happy Thanksgiving!
I am so grateful to have such amazing customers and blog followers. I am wishing all of you a Thanksgiving day filled with lots of fun, love, good food and lots to be thankful for!
Next I would like to introduce you to a new line of mine: Holiday Printables!
I just put the first two in the store and there will be more to come over the next few weeks!
Basically they are predesigned templates that you print out on your home computer, cut them out (they are easy to cut even without a craft cutter!) and then you assemble them to make favor boxes, place card/boxes, treat boxes, filled gift tags or ornaments for your Christmas Tree.
They are such a sweet way to personalize dinners, parties, school treats or anything else you can think of! You can even use them as gift box for very small items!
They come with full step-by-step text and picture instructions!
Here is the Santa version:
And here is the tree version. This pack comes with two templates, one with a cream background and one which allows you to choose what color background you want to print on. However, bear in mind that you still need to see the printed details when choosing your background color!
I priced these already pretty low to begin with, and for this weekend only, I'm taking off a further 16% as an introductory rate! Be sure to check them out!
I hope you have a most excellent time with your loved ones this Thanksgiving!Pin It

Most of the time I think of computerized embroideries as being decorative. Truth be told, you're not limited to automatically stitching a perky flower or elegant swirl. The magic that I'm referencing in the title is that the embroidery used in today's blog can also transform a shape.
Designer Necklines—One Step T-Shirt Makeovers Embroidery Designs, a project I worked on with Eileen Roche of Designs in Machine Embroidery, is a CD collection of positioning outlines, terrific embroidery designs, and neckline transformations—all in one embroidery CD! In short it's sewing and embroidery magic!
Here's a tutorial on how this magic happens.
- Start by selecting one of the magic embroideries and transferring that design to your computerized embroidery machine. The first thread color is the positioning outline.
- Hoop a Fusible No-show Mesh stabilizer, fusible side up. Stitch the positioning outlines on the stabilizer. This embroidery mimics crew neckline shapes and marks the center front.
- Fold the T-shirt in half and mark the center front.
- Also, fuse stabilizer to the wrong side of the area that will be embroidered.
- Align the neckline shape and the center front mark with the corresponding markings on the hooped stabilizer.
- Press or position the shirt to the hooped stabilizer.
- Nest the shirt around the hoop.
Note from Nancy: Eileen taught me this neat trick. Slide the hooped shirt over the narrow end of an ironing board. Pull the back of the shirt over the hoop to easily nest the extra fabric.
- Add a topping of Wash-Away stabilizer to the embroidery area. It's the ideal top stabilizer for knit fabrics.
- Return the hoop to the embroidery unit. Stitch the decorative embroidery. Watching the machine stitch is magical in itself!
- The last embroidery is where the transformation happens. Choose a coordinating cotton fabric, cut a rectangle (we tell you the size in the instructions), and fuse interfacing to the wrong side. Place the fused fabric over the neckline, right sides together, and stitch the remaining thread color. Notice the reinforced stitches at the neckline and in the V-shaped area.
- Remove the T-shirt from the hoop and trim away the excess stabilizer. Cut down to the V-shape.
- Then, trim 1/4″ from the V-stitching.
- Wrap the facing to the underside and fold a neat edge along the neckline. Pin.
- Stitch in the ditch, sewing in the groove of the seam.
- Ta da! Enjoy your magical transformation!
There's a lot more to this embroidery collection. Eileen and I preview the other shirt transformations in this short video clip.
Could your wardrobe use a transformation? Designer Necklines—One Step T-Shirt Makeovers Embroidery Designs is only a click away!
Bye for now,

So, it's been a week since I've been published (check it out, Ghost No More), and I am feeling a little better. I was freaking out after the book came out, completely caught by the feelings of "Don't talk about the abuse." I wanted to run and hide.
I can't say I am all the way to feeling comfortable yet. Definitely a weird place to be in, but my hope is that by telling, other people will feel validated where they are, and can get healing too.
I had a dream last night about one of the houses I lived in as a child. Everything was how I remembered it as a child, but I was an adult now, walking down the street and looking in. I wasn't afraid anymore. When I woke up I felt relief.
If anyone reading this has bought it, thank you for supporting me. Thanks for reading my blog. It means a lot to me!
((((((((((big hug for those who need it))))))))))))))))) Have a good day. Hang in there. If you have to, just take it one minute at a time. Things do change.

Accepting the Mission
4/1/2011by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson
The beatification of Pope John Paul II will be a time for reflection upon the accomplishments of his pontificate and the holiness of his life. But it will not be enough for the Knights of Columbus to simply look back and remember history. If we are to keep faith with our great friend and beloved spiritual leader, we must also look to the future.
In working toward this goal, we should ask ourselves, "What would Blessed John Paul II say to us today?" We are fortunate that we have thousands of pages of his writings that still speak to us clearly, and none is more relevant to the work of the Knights of Columbus than his 1999 apostolic exhortation Ecclesia in America. In reading this document, it seems as though John Paul II is speaking directly to us.
He wrote, "The renewal of the Church in America will not be possible without the active presence of the laity. Therefore, they are largely responsible for the future of the Church" (44).
Today, there is no lay organization in the countries where the Knights of Columbus works that surpasses us in terms of charity, promotion of vocations and evangelization. Thus, the magnitude of our work on behalf of the Church can be measured in a certain degree only by the magnitude of our responsibility for the future of the Church.
Perhaps more than any other document, it was in Ecclesia in America that John Paul II proclaimed the need for a new evangelization. He wrote, "As the Church's Supreme Pastor, I urgently desire to encourage all the members of God's People, particularly those living in America … to take up this project and to cooperate in carrying it out" (66).
The pope understood that there was a common Christian foundation to the new civilization being built in the Western Hemisphere during the past five centuries. This common foundation offers the promise of an even greater solidarity, community and charity in the future, if only we have the determination to work for such a transformation.
For more than a century, the Knights of Columbus has been promoting this greater solidarity among Catholics in Canada, Mexico, the United States and the Philippines through our work of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism.
Blessed John Paul II knew that the task before us was not simply a "re-evangelization" — a repetition of what had gone before — but an evangelization "new in ardor, methods and expression" (6).
This newness, in a significant way, depends upon the creativity and the dedication of the lay faithful who are willing to commit their personal lives, their families and their associations in witnessing to the good news of the Gospel.
"In accepting this mission," John Paul II wrote, "everyone should keep in mind that the vital core of the new evangelization must be a clear and unequivocal proclamation of the person of Jesus Christ" (66).
For the Knights of Columbus, the beatification of Pope John Paul II is a historic occasion to reflect on precisely the ways in which our dedication to our principles of charity, unity and fraternity provide "a clear and unequivocal proclamation of the person of Jesus Christ."
And as we witness with confidence to this reality, both on a personal level and through the work of our thousands of active councils, we will not only take up a more vigorous role in the work of the new evangelization, but we will also realize more fully Father Michael McGivney's vision of a dynamic organization that is wholly at the service of the Church.
Vivat Jesus!

Victoria and Albert Museum
If you are in London and want to visit the best there is in museums then the place to go is the Victoria and Albert Museum. It is the world's greatest museum of art and design. The collections that are contained within its walls are those of incredible diversity and fabulous scope. This museum holds artifacts from the world's richest cultures. Right now there are over 3000 years worth of these artifacts within the Victoria and Albert Museum. There are art and design collections to satisfy anyone's taste. There are over 27,000 works and over 43,000 images of fashion, furniture, ceramics, paintings, prints, glass, photographs, metalwork, textiles and sculpture.
If your interests lie in architecture and interior design the Victoria and Albert Museum will be an incredible journey for you. There are architectural drawings and photographs of whole rooms and parts of buildings. There are objects from East Asia, South and South East Asia, and the Middle East. Wandering through the most comprehensive collection of British design and art from 1500-1900 is a very rare treat. The museum covers a multitude of design periods and styles. There is something here for everyone's taste whether it is contemporary, traditional, art deco, country or Victorian. There are also 14,000 pieces of furniture on display in the museum.
Ceramics, Glass And Jewellery
The Victoria and Albert Museum has one of the most extensive collections of ceramics.
From ancient Egyptian to contemporary studio pottery and ceramics, the collection has pieces from every master craftsman in the world. Since Queen Victoria loved dolls houses, there is an historic collection of doll houses, games, toys and doll fashions dating back to the 16th century. The museum's very entertaining glass collection spans the 4,000 year period and contains pieces from the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
There is a beautiful collection of fashionable dress from the 17th century to the present day. The pieces of jewellery and accessories in the Victoria and Albert Museum define a specific pattern of style coming into the present day. This collection of jewellery and accessories is a very fascinating collection.
Metalwork, Photography And Textiles
The extensive metalwork collections that are housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum consist of copper, enamels, silver, pewter, ironwork, brasswork, armour, arms and medieval metalwork.
Any sort of painting, photograph and drawing can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum. There are oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, cartoons, illustrations and portrait miniatures.
The photography collection alone houses over 500,000 images. This truly spectacular collection began in 1852 and contains many one of a kind images. The book collections in the Victoria and Albert Museum contain everything from children's literature to comics, art and design of the book.One can explore the world's most comprehensive collection of post classical European sculpture. Their national collection of Textiles covers a period of over 2000 years. The emphasis of this textile collection is focused on Europe but it has a wide geographic range.
The Victoria and Albert Museum is forever changing its exhibitions and display, so returning to the Victoria and Albert Museum is always a new experience. Their displays complement their permanent collections. The major exhibitions that are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum feature multiple rooms of installations and objects with sometimes a smaller display located in just one single case. The Victoria and Albert Museum needs to be on the list of everyone's "to see" list while in London.
There is something here for everyone's taste, even children. The exhibitions are free of charge and there are many workshops and activities for the 8-18 year old visiting the museum.
Even though this museum houses extensive collections of world class interest, it has not lost its charm or historical value. Visiting the Victoria and Albert Museum is indeed a rare treat.

Just found your blog through another blogs comments. I love when I find others who want to look fashionable on a budget! (I have a budget blog as well) Somehow I think the fact that I know my outfit didn't cost a ton, I think it looks cheap, but then when I see others in clothes from F21, H&M, etc. I think it looks so classy and expensive. I'll definitely be hijacking some of your fashion expertise :)ReplyDelete
First off adorable top and amazing background! Reminds me of a gorgeous Spanish style home in LAReplyDelete

I'm usually not this elated over break-ups especially since Ive been dealing with the sad demise of a relationship of my own... but the timing on these two are clearly perfect! You know that obnoxious saying everyone tells you when you're going through a rough patch, or dealing with the emotional downward spiral of heartache, "Everything happens for a reason," well I understand now how right they are! Can someone say fate? If there's one thing I've learned in the healing process of mending your heart and pride, is to keep as many distractions (or play things) around you as possible... who says I can't add Ryan Reynolds and Micheal C. Hall into the mix?
Yes, that's right, Ryan and Scarlett Johansson announced yesterday they are ending their 2 year marriage, while Dexter's Micheal C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter announced their amicable split Monday. What a great week this is for all the single ladies of the world!


text: A fun romp through the extended Brokecore family. A Family that has been split up and gone through rough times, but has finally come back together in a tender embrace. The last Brokecore compilation was nigh on 7 years ago. The label has been pretty much on indefinite hiatus since. Now its back with a vengeance! 38 tracks of br00t41 nast'. Relative newcomer Mherdad kicks things off with a pretty straight forward breakcore banger, filled to the brim with breaks, edits, and gabber kicks. The following track by another newcomer, Freebase Frenzy, sounds as though Stuntrock himself (circa '00) took possession and kicked out the jams with his track "Mr Austin Tends To Get A Little Cranky If He Doesn't Get A Beer By Noon". The intensity never lets up. Whether its top notch noise blasts from the likes of Michigan's RedSK or evil chiptune anthems from Pittsburgh's very own Bit Mummy, you will not be disappointed. Evil Robot Ted, Brokecore's owner, known for his harsh digi noise pieces and broken breakbeat montages brings the finest, cleanest piece of Jungle/Drum n Bass I've ever heard from him. Ditching the standard noise pads for phasing melodies reminiscent of the raving early 90s and backing it up with varied, well edited amens provides a quite enjoyable listening experience. The track order is superb, songs often mixing very well into the following track. Evil Robot Ted's track runs perfectly into the mellow I DO NOT LOVE.'s "Come Back", subdued vocals harkening back to Joy Divisions haunting vocalist Ian Curtis coupled with a pretty electronic melody that slowly washes away in a sea of reverb and echo along with the rest of the song, a deep dark well of doomed synth pop. While there are many new names to the Brokecore roster introduced on this compilation, that doesn't mean there aren't a few old favorites in the mix either. Kindergarten Hazing Ritual, DJ Scratchin', and Helium Ointment all lend their talents. A joy to listen to, an honor to have had the opportunity to participate. Brokecore FOREVER!
