Christmas is over. I got a karaoke machine, and a rainbow loom, and a vet puppy, and a painting easel, and a Hello Kitty painting kit, and weaving crafts, and a lava lamp, and a… I love Christmas!
He said
Christmas has come and gone and for the most part was a huge success! I was fortunate enough to the 23rd, as well as Christmas Eve & Day off of work. I had been on solid stretch of work leading up to that, so it was nice to have the three days to be around the house with Emelia and Danielle.
While Danielle didn't have Monday off, Emelia and I did. So, we hung around and helped where we could with the daycare before we snuck out for a little of the afternoon to pick up Danielle's Christmas gift from Emelia. When we got back, we ensconced ourselves to my office to do a little art and put together Mommy's presents. By the time we finished, the daycare day was almost complete, and the house got a lot quieter. It was just the remedy we needed with all the commotion of the season about to unfold—knowing that we had the next couple of days off together to be a family. And to be with family.
It's hard to say what the big hit was this year for Emelia. Her Santa Gift – the karaoke machine – was definitely a big delight. But my odds right now are on the Rainbow Loom she got along with all the crafts she got from both Grandma & Poppa, as well as Oma & Gramps. She certainly has enough to keep her occupied through the next couple of cold, indoor months.
Christmas Eve we were over at Greg, Testza & Vaughan's to celebrate with the Teeter side which included the Welland Teeter's which Emelia was over the moon about seeing. We all had a great time, and of course when it came time to leave, there was great resistance from Emelia about this, even with the thought that if Santa got to her house and she wasn't there, that he might skip over us. But, eventually we got a teary-eyed girl on her way home and to bed.
Christmas morning was a nice, easy pace. We puttered about most of the morning. By mid afternoon we decided it might be time to start getting cleaned up and readied for what has become a tradition: Christmas Dinner for any of the Teeter's around without other family plans. Greg & Testza, were again hosting this.
Within about an hour of getting there, I started feeling really run down and just exhausted. I was getting the chills and a really bad feeling. So, after we got Emelia situated I had Danielle bring me back to home where by 6pm I was in bed and to sleep for the night.
The next twenty-four hours can be best described as hell. I had some sort of nasty stomach bug that led to many trips from the bed to the bathroom and back. The worst part was that within an hour of getting home and getting Emelia to bed, Danielle was in the bathroom throwing up. It seems the only one in the house doing fine was Emelia.
I ended up having to call in sick for my Boxing Day shift at the store and spent the entire day in bed sleeping. Danielle who was doing just marginally better than I, took Emelia downstairs and spent the day on the couch with her. Between the two of us, I don't think either was upright for longer than 5 minutes the entire day.
I made it into work Friday and Saturday feeling on the mend, but definitely no where near 100%. In fact, by the end of my shift Saturday night both Danielle and I were feeling like the bug was taking a second stab at us. Again I was slightly worse for wear.
Which couldn't have come at a worse time as today was the other big Christmas tradition that has arisen in the last few years – we were hosting the Japp side Christmas at our place. I ended up needing to have a nap this afternoon while Danielle and Emelia entertained Oma & Gramps, and Chantelle & Todd after they arrived. When I got up, I was feeling a little better and managed to help Danielle out prepare the meal, and get a chance to visit and relax with the family.
I am really starting to relish closing out Christmas season with this Japp gathering at our house. It's after all the hustle and bustle of Christmas, and is always a relatively easy-going affair. It works out well that we're the halfway point for the family, and I love having them all here, and Emelia getting the chance to come out of her shell with them – a process that usually takes two to three hours.
I couldn't think of a better way to put a close on Christmas. We have New Years coming up in a few days, and I have a couple of those days off, so I think given the state of health right now, we are going to just lay extra low and take it super easy this year ringing in 2014!
She said
Another Christmas has come and gone and while John and I spent much of it quite sick we did everything we could to assure that Emelia still had a great holiday. The week started out great, we had everything in order, presents wrapped and ready to go, food for the celebrations bought and ready to go.
Christmas Eve was wonderful, I was starting to feel the Christmas exhaustion set in after fighting a cold for a week and a half leading into the holidays. But we were all feeling the Christmas spirit and the celebrations with the Teeter side of the family was amazing. Lots of food, lots of laughs and for Emelia lots of presents.
She had many on a long list of hit presents, she got a few board games and oodles and oodles of crafts which was the top of her wish list this year. Everything was a hit, within seconds of opening presents she wanted to play with everything. She was bouncing between one activity to the other. All in all everything has been a hit this year.
As the hour grew later and later we knew Emelia needed to get home and needed to get to sleep. I was starting to feel even more worn out at this point and we were figuring a very early start of the next day. So with a few tears we managed to get her into the car and home and quickly to sleep. John and I quickly got everything together for the next day and went right to bed ourselves.
The next day Emelia managed to sleep until 7:30 and we were all ready for the day, she bounced down the stairs and her eyes lit up when she saw the much-wished for karaoke machine under the tree. Over the next ½ hour or so we worked through her present pile and by the end we had a very happy little girl. Again from us she got more crafts, music, a few toys and more crafts. Are we sensing a theme for the year? While John and I worked on breakfast Emelia was already digging deep into her first of many crafts over the next few days.
As the day moved on John was feeling less and less himself, at one point after his shower falling asleep in the bed. Not at all like him, especially at Christmas. So I got our things together for Christmas #2 at his brothers place and finally John was able to get up and we were off to Greg and Testza's place. John and I both at this time were starting to feel worse for wear. John more than I was at this time. Finally when we realized he was not going to be able to eat supper, adding in that he was supposed to be at work in the morning, I took him home and put him to bed. I returned, had dinner, played a couple games with the family and then I made my way home.
Getting home John was looking worse for sure, and I was feeling worse and worse. Emelia thankfully went to bed right away because before long I was throwing up. It was only one really bad bout but my stomach was feeling horrible. And this continued until even today, I am still not feeling 100%. This stomach bug this year is certainly making it's rounds. So many friends have been hit.
Boxing day John could not possibly work and I had at least had gotten some sleep the night before had gotten up with Emelia, thank goodness we have raised a very self reliant little girl and also she had received LOTS and LOTS of crafts for Christmas. Once she had breakfast, a movie (Nanny McPhee that she got in her stocking) and a craft I fell back to sleep on the couch and she crafted away while I got more rest. This was our day, John slept until the early afternoon and I could not move off the couch without feeling like I was going to pass out. Emelia was an amazing help, she was so good, we quietly crafted while I was lying down, we knitted, loomed, made a purse and made a couple rainbow loom bracelets. Not bad considering I could not move off the couch.
By bedtime Emelia was in bed and John and I were quickly behind. By the next morning John was better enough to get back to work and I was still feeling worse for wear. Emelia and I had a play date with a classmate planned and a couple errands, that just about did me in, I had to nap again in the afternoon as I was so worn out.
That was our routine for the next couple days. Today I was starting to finally feel better, at least today I ate without wanting to throw up. Good timing since we were hosting my side of the family. With our conflicting schedules and distance this is the only day a year that my entire little family get together and I did not want to miss it. John had taken another turn backwards so he rested today while I got food prepped and the house cleaned.
Around 2:30 everyone started arriving and Emelia who could not wait for everyone to arrive turned into our always shy girl. She takes so long to feel comfortable to talk to most people, but after a couple hours she came around and took a clinging shine again to Charlie and Todd. She had spent the day making everyone rainbow loom bracelets and could not wait for everyone to arrive to give them her homemade cards and bracelets. And of course there were presents, and once again Emelia was spoiled. She got more amazing crafts, she once again bounced excitedly between craft to craft wanting to try it all! Once again the day flew by too fast and Christmas again has come to a close for another year.
Sadly this year John and I are glad to have the holidays done, this coming week the tree comes down and we ring in a new year. But after the last week we are happy to decide this year it will be a quiet one at home, we need time to get our strength back 100%. We really want to enjoy our couple days together before life goes back to normal next week with Emelia back at school.
So I am signing off to get to bed, Merry Christmas everyone and the healthiest and happiest of new years! See everyone in 2014.

There is a new Bible, or should I say a "post" New Testament. You know, as in "post" modern. The cultural elite of our day have written it. They have received insight and revelation from God or maybe I should say permission in their minds from God to write this new teaching. Now, it hasn't yet been codified into one document that we all can look at and agree is there, but that is so passé anyway. It is the digital age after all. Besides, limiting this glorious new doctrine to one finite book is too restrictive and by definition goes against one of the main tenets of this post New Testament; restricting restrictions. But mark it down, there is a post New Testament being preached from and worshiped.
Now this supposed new canon is legitimate because some scholars who have religious type credentials said a few years back that we can have a post New Testament if we want it. They said since the New Testament corrected and cleaned up so many messes from the Old Testament there must be something to clean up the messes still left in the New Testament. These scholars championed something called the Redemptive-Movement Hermeneutics or Trajectory Hermeneutics. "Say what?" you say. First, hermeneutic is a fancy term to mean how one approaches and interprets the Bible. Second, here is a run- of- the- mill Wikipedia definition of this approach, but it is a pretty good one:
"A hermeneutical approach that seeks to locate varying 'voices' in the text and to view this voice as a progressive trajectory through history (or at least through the Biblical witness); often a trajectory that progresses through to the present day. The contemporary reader of Scripture is in some way envisaged by the Biblical text as standing in continuity with a developing theme therein. The reader, then, is left to discern this trajectory and appropriate it accordingly."
"Say what?" you say again. Just focus on the last sentence, "The reader, then, is left to discern…" Simply stated you and I are writers of this post New Testament book; or least we can be if we want to be. We get to clean up whatever messes we think God just didn't get to yet in the New Testament.
The landmark work on this hermeneutical approach came from William Webb in his book, "Slaves, Woman and Homosexuals." Webb argued that the trajectory of slave treatment was towards less slavery from Old to New Testaments. Therefore, the abolition of slavery along with a majority consensus from society denouncing slavery, completes the trajectory God intended. Likewise, the "treatment" of women in the Bible progresses from the Old to the New with increased rights and privileges. Thus, the varied woman's liberation and equal rights movements of the last century again show that society has simply followed the trajectory God had begun in the New Testament.
Then there is the issue of homosexuality. Webb argues there is an ever so subtle softening of the view of homosexuality from the Old to the New. He thus projects the trajectory of homosexual rights and privileges will also move forward but at a slower pace (keep in mind he wrote this book in 2001 before the rapid development of the LBGT movement).
Sounds reasonable. Sounds fair. Sounds politically correct. Sounds loving. No wonder it has gained so much traction even by millions who have never heard of William Webb. It is the philosophy of this age; we are so much smarter than anyone before us; we must be inspired by God to correct the mess He left for us to clean up. Surely God never meant for His revelation to end 2,000 years ago. He obviously has called us to complete what He started and we are more than happy to do so.
In particular, this is why you see the homosexual argument linked to the slavery argument or the role of woman argument. We are evolving, just as the Old Testament evolved to a New Testament, we are writers of an ever newer "post" New Testament. We are the ones truly fulfilling the law. Jesus, He came close, but didn't get the job done. We on the other hand will pick up where He left off and take it from here.
This hermeneutical approach gives credibility to the idea that the Bible is antiquated for another era. It is a good book but let's be real, there are just so many things in it that keep us from doing things we really like to do. It's just, you know, too restrictive. So we must overwrite some of it and if we say we are being true to it by simply saying God wasn't done yet and is still writing doctrine through us, well, we can feel pretty good about that.
Enter Rob Bell. Many of you reading this may not be familiar with Rob Bell, but he was this up and coming pastor in Michigan, drawing in a large number of young people with a hipster persona and a fresh way of teaching the Scriptures. Now, just a few years later he is considered a heretic by most if not all orthodox practitioners of the gospel ministry as he tours with Oprah Winfrey. What happened? He bought into the trajectory hermeneutic approach. This approach led him to write a book which renounced the existence of hell and the authority of the Scriptures. In his latest book, he embraces same-sex marriage. He believes that we are not bound by the Scriptures but rather we are to interpret the evolution of love that God started in the Bible against what we as a culture see as right and good. What we see as right and good surpasses the Scriptures because we are on this trajectory or redemptive movement through time. So, if most people do not believe in hell then there must not be one because how could a loving God have something His creation doesn't want? And if most people believe in same-sex marriage, then that must be what God wants because God is for us not against us.
What is most insidious about all this however, is this faux attempt to justify these beliefs by tying them to a supposed "scholarly" understanding of the Bible. In other words, giving religious cover to that which is directly rejected by the Bible. This explains why people can say; "The Bible, as it turns out, really supports homosexuality." Um, it doesn't. But when supposed religious people like Rob Bell teach it does, via trajectory hermeneutics; it gives people what they want- a God who condones their personal desires.
That, my friends is called idolatry. But hey, idolatry is too restrictive and old fashioned of an idea so let's throw that out. After all, the New Testament says the truth shall set me free and the truth according to the cultural majority is that my God wants me happy. So God, as it turns out, supports what I believe and that is the new and exciting gospel of our times. See how this works?
The apostle Paul warned of itching ears and boy do we have them. We are building our own Tower of Babel to our own heaven based upon the collective, so called wisdom of our age. Ironically, a guy named Nimrod was in charge of the first Tower of Babel and I think he might be in charge of this one too.
The canon is closed. Don't let anyone tell you it isn't.

Wednesday 5th July saw the re-arranged annual Ammanford Junior Fun Run Races take place at Amman Valley Leisure Centre and over 300 children turned out to enjoy the occasion and sunny conditions.
Best of the action here...all photos from Nathan Jones (covering for social media and the press)
What a difference a week makes! 28th June, this event was postponed due to the rain and a week later, it turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year so far - and what a turnout it was!
The fun run, organised by the local club Amman Valley Harriers, attracted a new record number of nearly 350 children (338) from across Carmarthenshire and beyond.
Once again in 2017, the Ammanford Junior Fun Run was kindly sponsored by Noelwyn Daniel at Healthy Life Activities, who provided all the medals and trophies along with race commentary.
The races were open to young runners of all ages. The evening at 6.30pm started with those in reception and under who were helped round the 1 lap course with their parents/friends/guardians, with smiles all round when they got to collect their medal.
For everyone else, they went round twice (800m) and due to the large numbers, each age group was split into two with boys and girls. Other category age groups included years 1 & 2, years 3 & 4, years 5 & 6 plus a secondary schools event for years 7 & 8.
Around 20 Morrison Comprehensive School in Swansea were some of the attendees who had travelled up to join in in the Year 7 & 8 race, collecting three trophies at the end.
Medals were awarded to everyone who finished with trophies to the top 3 in each age group. Whatever their ability, the evening was open to all to get involved in running and enjoy the race day atmosphere with friends and family.
The event organisers would like to thank all who turned out for the annual fun run and those who volunteered their time to help out on Wednesday.

Lesson to Verizon: Neon-spandexed globe-trotting hip-hop-ish superstars like M.I.A. should not be subjected to three-hour tech support calls, because her resulting song "I'm Down Like Your Internet Connection" is bound to become the new "shake it like a Polaroid picture."
The best part about "I'm Down Like Your Internet Connection," which is due to appear on her forthcoming followup to Kala this summer, is that she actually got Filipino Verizon workers to sing the hook. Says M.I.A.:
I was having issues with my cable and wireless, and I was on the phone [with tech support] for three hours, and I thought, 'Maybe this needs to be part of my music, could you just learn these lyrics and sing it down the phone to me?' Ten phone calls later, I have Internet that stinks and a song.

Cyprus is expecting great improvement in the public transport system from summer 2010. Nearly 45 Million Euro are to be invested in order to upgrade the Cyprus bus network. These measures are taken in order to lessen the traffic congestion as well as to facilitate travelling of the people between towns and within city centres. Communications Minister Nicos Nicolaides stated: "We've designated June 1, 2010 as a landmark for public transport in Cyprus… a new era…with new routes and extended hours". Over 60% of the bus drivers are supporting the new scheme and the rest are welcomed to come aboard. However, those who do not want to take part in the scheme, will receive compensations according to legislation, said the Minister.

text: What a lovely September day. Bob and Doug thought they should get off their yachts in Campbell River's Discovery Harbour Marina and go fishing. It was an idea that came in the morning , so we left at 11 am. We came through a hundred or more Pacific White-Sided Dolphins on the way out. And we saw a few small schools of chum salmon porpoising as well, while we were fishing but we didn't catch any of them. On the way back we saw a gang of sealions. The fishing was pretty good, too. Some nice bright cohos and a late chinook that tried to fit in with the cohos.

Saw Mill Road, west side
[Nothing listed]
- Record ID: 168
- Address: Saw Mill Road, west side
- Current Owner: Tubby, Frances and Joyce
- Name of Building:
- Historic Name: Benjamin Prout House
- Download PDF of Original Record
Notable Features
Reminiscent of the earlier Greek Revival-style farmhouse,the 3-bay side-hall-plan facade features broad overhanging eaves and large cornice returns. The gable displays a set of long vertical paired windows. Highlighting the facade is an elaborate Queen Anne-style wraparound, balustraded veranda with delicately carved posts, scroll-saw brackets, a decorative frieze, and lattice work. The north elevation exhibits a 2 1/2 story, single-bay crossgable. A single-story, 3-sided bay extends from the south elevation and the original two-over-two sash are featured throughout.
Historical or Architectural Importance
Oriented gable-to-street, this 2 1/2 story, late nineteenth-century house was built in 1896 by Benjamin Prout. Supported by a brick foundation, the asbestos~sided balloon frame is capped by an asphalt-shingled roof. In 1896 Benjamin R. Prout (b. 1870) built this house on a piece of land owned by his father, Ransom Prout. In 1908 Ransom sold his son the lot "reserving to myself the life use of the barn and carriage." Benjamin was the eighth child of Margaret (Eckler) and Ransom Prout and as an adult operated the sawmill on the nearby brook. The house remained in the Prout family until 1921. The Benjamin R. Prout House is architecturally significant as a well-preserved example of a late nineteenth-century dwelling and historically notable for its association with the industrial activity along Saw Mill Brook.

|Easy chocolate chip cookie mix!
My son loves to get involved in anything I am doing and cooking is no exception. Its always messy, pretty hectic and fingers crossed what we cook works out!
These cookies are really easy, in-fact I would say "no-fail". They are also the sort of cookie you can adapt and add what ever you want.
|Really easy to make - Chocolate chip cookies
Another tip is to make the cookies small, just a teaspoon full is all you really need. You will probably have to bake a few batches but they don't take long at all.
|A great gift for daycare or kindy friends or even the teachers!
I plan to wrap them in cellophane with a ribbon and a hand stamped swing tag with either a name or Merry Xmas. I saw on Facebook that "OFFICE MAX" has the entire alphabet for about $30. I am going to hunt them down.
|The book
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup caster sugar
2 eggs
2¼ cups flour (I used self raising and NO BP - worked fine)
1 tsp baking powder
Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
Sift the flour and baking powder evenly over the creamed mixture. Sprinkle over the chocolate chips and fold together.
Place heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture onto a greased baking tray, leaving room for the biscuits to spread.
Bake at 180ºC for 20 minutes or until the biscuits are beginning to lightly brown and are firm to the touch. Transfer to a cake rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Piet Retief
The WARMBAD Private Game Reserve derives its name from the unique thermal mineral springs ascending from the Swazi granite. It is one of the oldest private game reserves in South Africa and was used for centuries by the Swazis and Zulus as hunting ground.
WARMBAD Private Game Reserve is ideally situated on the N2 from Johannesburg or Kruger National Park to the Kwa Zulu North Coast of the Indian Ocean or Durban. It lies 35 km south of Piet Retief and 65 km north of Pongola.

Raghav Ganesh - My First week
Hello everyone,
Welcome to my first blog post! :)
I have always been very interested in science and math. Working on STEM projects is a lot of fun.The finalists' projects from the previous years have been a great inspiration for me, and I wanted to enter the competition as well. Making the entry video was very exciting and a great learning experience.
I was eagerly awaiting to see the announcement on the web about the finalists. I got the phone call from Discovery Education, and everything changed from there! My family and friends are super excited that I was selected as a finalist. I am very happy and grateful to be a 3M Young Scientist Challenge Finalist and am looking forward to the competition. If I win, I plan on utilizing some of the prize for college and the rest for my community service & scientific research.
Thanks for reading!

Perl Best Practices: Standards and Styles for Developing Maintainable Code
Many programmers code by instinct, relying on convenient habits or a "style" they picked up early on. They aren't conscious of all the choices they make, like how they format their source, the names they use for variables, or the kinds of loops they use. They're focused entirely on problems they're solving, solutions they're creating, and algorithms they're implementing. So they write code in the way that seems natural, that happens intuitively, and that feels good.
But if you're serious about your profession, intuition isn't enough. Perl Best Practices author Damian Conway explains that rules, conventions, standards, and practices not only help programmers communicate and coordinate with one another, they also provide a reliable framework for thinking about problems, and a common language for expressing solutions. This is especially critical in Perl, because the language is designed to offer many ways to accomplish the same task, and consequently it supports many incompatible dialects.
With a good dose of Aussie humor, Dr. Conway (familiar to many in the Perl community) offers 256 guidelines on the art of coding to help you write better Perl code--in fact, the best Perl code you possibly can. The guidelines cover code layout, naming conventions, choice of data and control structures, program decomposition, interface design and implementation, modularity, object orientation, error handling, testing,  and debugging.
They're designed to work together to produce code that is clear, robust, efficient, maintainable, and concise, but Dr. Conway doesn't pretend that this is the one true universal and unequivocal set of best practices. Instead, Perl Best Practices offers coherent and widely applicable suggestions based on real-world experience of how code is actually written, rather than on someone's ivory-tower theories on howsoftware ought to be created.
Most of all, Perl Best Practices offers guidelines that actually work, and that many developers around the world are already using. Much like Perl itself, these guidelines are about helping you to get your job done, without getting in the way.
Praise for Perl Best Practices from Perl community members:
"As a manager of a large Perl project, I'd ensure that every member of my team has a copy of Perl Best Practices on their desk, and use it as the basis for an in-house style guide."-- Randal Schwartz
"There are no more excuses for writing bad Perl programs. All levels of Perl programmer will be more productive after reading this book."-- Peter Scott
"Perl Best Practices will be the next big important book in the evolution of Perl. The ideas and practices Damian lays down will help bring Perl out from under the embarrassing heading of "scripting languages". Many of us have known Perl is a real programming language, worthy of all the tasks normally delegated to Java and C++. With Perl Best Practices, Damian sho

Earlier I wrote about Microsoft and IBM making their nomenclature more sane. Looks like Sun is getting also into the act. The current version of Java is "Java 2 Platform Standard Edition, version 5.0" (or J2SE 5.0), which has an internal version number of 1.5. That's three version numbers for one product. Thankfully, the next version will simply be called "Java Platform, Standard Edition 6", or Java SE 6. Similarly, J2EE and J2ME will be called Java EE and Java ME. Finally! Too bad they didn't start with J2SE version
1.5 5.0.

Exotic flowers are grown to add color and excitement to what may otherwise be a boring landscape. Also known as tropical flowers, exotics are generally unusual or rare flowers. Just the term "exotic" may frighten some people who are clueless as to how to select or care for them, but they can be successfully grown. These striking flowers are also used as cut flowers in bouquets, notes the Oh My Apartment website.
Exotic flowers usually originate from foreign countries. Because they typically come from warm, tropical regions they can't survive in cold areas. According to Michigan State University, temperatures lower than 45 to 50 F can damage these plants.
Lilies come from the Lilium genus and have underground bulbs composed of overlapping scales containing stored food. Most lily flowers have three petals and three sepals. These exotic flowers come in various shapes and colors.
Irises are exotic flowers that are often confused with lilies. They come from the same family as crocus, gladiolus and freesia, notes Flowers-cs.com. They generally have erect, flat leaves and flowers containing bright sepals, which can either droop or spread.
The exotic flowering plant known as ginger, which comes from tropical Asia, produces purple and green blooms in cone-like, thick clusters.
House Plants
Many exotic flowers can be used in indoor gardening and make interesting house plants. According to the Oh My Apartment Ratings website, exotic flowers such as begonias, hoyas, sarsprites and sarracenias are ideal plants for indoors.
Begonias come in many varieties, such as miniatures, which are especially suited for indoor garden. Hoyas, which are tropical and subtropical plants, produce exotic flowers that can be excellent for window displays. Sarsprites produce white flowers and can be grown in small pots on window sills. Sarracenias are exotic tropical flowers with red veins and white markings.
Many exotic plants can become invasive, such as those exotic species that were introduced into the South's natural regions as landscape plants decades ago, says North Carolina State University. Continually moving exotic plants into suburban environments can cause many invasive plants to become problematic years later.
The exotic flower known as the Bird of Paradise (Caesalpinia gilliesii) is considered to have poisonous seed pods, according to Colorado State University. This native flowering plant of Uruguay and Argentina grows erect and produces showy yellow flowers with long hot-pink or red stamens, roughly 4 to 5 inches long. Its poisonous seed pots are curled and are tan or brown. If consumed, the seed pots can cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, according to North Carolina State University.

So, either it's the water being piped to these guys' homes and offices, or they're all drunk. Either way, I have a solution—testing. First we test the waters for psychoactive drugs left over from Abby Hoffman days; then we run monthly urinalysis on anyone with even a finger's worth of governmental power. We also pee-test brokers, day traders, lawyers, accountants, attorneys, cops and councilmen (and women), car mechanics, sellers of any used vehicles, contractors, land speculators and anyone showing up at your door with a too-good-to-be-true deal to resurface your driveway. Also, roofers.
The tests will have to be administered randomly and supervised, since I am sure the worthies named above know that clean urine is available on the internet; we don't anyone doing a switcheroo, and we will probably have to pay people a sensible salary to watch other people pee, but it will be worth it. The tests will not stop what a friend calls "cannon-balling into stupidity" but it may make a dent, and at this point any progress, no matter how small, merits the effort.
All this is necessary because we are really in a downward spiral right now. I'm getting along in age and can't remember another time when so many have done so little for so few. I am frightened by the fact that more and more loons really believe they are electable, and are willing to spend millions to try their chances. It worries me that issues have become as useful and as disposable as plastic shopping bags. I don't understand why there are no heroes anymore, of any type—artists, astronauts, soldiers, inventors, statesmen and leaders. Nor do I grasp why such a relatively high percentage of the people we have selected to represent us are crooks, dolts, liars, or a sad combination of all three.
Any thoughts out there? After all, urinalysis is as good as mine…

Back on the topic of productivity tools, I'd like to talk about one simple technique that can help you build and maintain healthy habits. It comes from some advice given by Jerry Seinfeld, a comedian, to a novice writer.
To become a writer, you should write every day. Print out a calendar (monthly or yearly). Every day you write, you put a big red cross on that day. Several crossed in a row form a chain. Your objective then is to not break the chain. This can spur you on to write every day just to keep that chain together, all the while building up that writing habit. If you've missed a day, you'll have to start a new chain.
This method can be used for any daily habit – exercise, learning a language, watering plants, going to bed at a certain time – anything you want to do daily. Once your chain begins to grow, you'll feel motivated to continue, so watch the chain grow longer.
A word of warning, however: if you have a tendency towards all-or-nothing thinking, you may find this method unhelpful. For example, if eating a single cookie when you're on a diet makes you throw in the towel, breaking the chain once might be too disheartening for you. You do need to be able to start again and work harder on the new chain instead of giving up completely.
A few more things to plan before you start:
- What will be your daily minimum for the task? How much do you need to accomplish each day before you're allowed to cross it off?
- Planned breaks – what happens to your chain if go on holiday?
- Force majeure – what if you get sick or if your house burns down?
Finally, I'd like to point out that there's something immensely satisfying about putting a big red cross on a real-world paper calendar. But if that's not your thing, do not despair: there are many apps dedicated to this method! Just have a search in your favourite app store.

Novellus NVLS said during a scheduled mid-quarter update that it now expects orders of $275 million, shipments of $218 million, revenue of $220 million, and earnings of 6 cents a share for the fourth quarter. Analysts are currently looking for a profit of 5 cents a share in the quarter, according to Thomson First Call.
Shares of Novellus rose 1.5 percent in late dealings to $44.20. The stock was one of the most active issues being traded on Island ECN.
Amylin and Eli Lilly, Vascular Solutions, Altria

The panel deliberated for less than two days before reaching the verdict, the company added.
Shares of Altria edged up 34 cents after the bell to $50.93.

MATERIALS: IMAGINISCE -Wild Things PP, IMAGINISCE, Daisy bucket and the paper studio STAMPS, The paper studio adhesive ribbon ( been saving for ages dont know where it came from) AMERICAN CRAFTS Cardstock thickers, Urban Lily rub ons, Stazon inks, transparency, Tim Holtz alcohol inks, colour core card stock, foam core board, zig pens & MM & Jo Sonia paint.
This card was a little time consuming but fun for something different, a great prototype idea to have up my sleeve for other cards. Riley's one of my best friend boys, and oh so has my heart in his pocket! LOL I call him my smiley Riley! This card was inspired by the fact I gave him his very own texta's. That is why all the play pieces nature and animals are black and white, so he can colour them in before he plays with them.
All the animals are fixed to the front of the card with adhesive Velcro spots (just from woollies, how I saw them and came to this idea I couldn't tell you! raotfl) I wanted the card to be interactive not another boring birthday cards that get tossed aside for the prezzies. The games you could play are only limited by your imagination! (I tested it out on my 6 year old and nearly didn't get it back!) I have some idea that the monkey needs to be chased away from the picnic basket, that the tiger and lions could be leaping out from behind rocks and tall grass! My one hope is that he doesn't use the red texta too much! LOL
Majority of materials came from WWW. Allcraftz.com.au.

I used to despise using sponges for my foundation, but my mind has been convinced by this bright pink oddly egg-shaped sponge which I ordered from the depths of eBay. The Beautyblender has been a trend on the cosmetic market for quite some time now. The orignal Beautyblender invented by makeup artist Rea Ann Silva quickly became a staple for makeup artists all over the world, and it has been in a bunch of magazines featured as a best beauty buy. It claimes to flawlessly blend your makeup in a quick and easy way. Sounds like a dream, no?
But with the original beautyblender coming in at a whopping $19,95, you're quick to think 'no way I'm dropping that much money on a sponge'. For all the smart saving people like that there is eBay. After a little search your quick to find hundres of beautyblender dupes. In all kinds of crazy colors and slightly different shapes. I used the words 'egg cosmetic make up blender sponge' in my search bar and wound up with the seller demon99. This seller was selling the slightly differently shaped beautyblender dupes for $1,36 a pop free shipping. I ordered two and waited patiently for my sponges to arrive in the mail.
Warning, crazy fathers might think these are part of a hot pink Shrek costume and promptly put the two sponges on their heads upon arrival.
How do you use the sponge? First you run it under warm water. This will make the sponge absorb the water and expand to around twice its original size. Look at the top picture for reference. The sponge absorbing the water will keep it from absorbing too much makeup, what regular sponges tend to do. And the usage of warm water will help your foundation kind of 'melt' upon application which makes it easier to blend.
After you wet the sponge you apply your foundation in dots over your face. This can be any kind of liquid or dry foundation. I personally only use liquid foundation with light to medium coverage because that gives a more natural look. Take the beauty blender sponge and put your fingers in the indentation, as shown in picture number three. Althought you mostly use the larger flat side, but the picture is just to show you where to hold it.
Now what your going to do is just dab the sponge over your face, effectively spreading and blending your foundation of choice. For the harder to reach places such as the side of your nose, under your eyes, etc.. use the pointier side.
This eBay beauty blender dupe does a fantastic job at blending my foundation to make it look nice and natural. The color and coverage is distributed evenly across my features and it doesn't look as if I have product caked on my face.
I try to clean the sponge after every use, because the germ infested sponge idea still creeps me out. But these sponges are easily taking the place of my makeup brushes. It's lovely! I recommend it to everyone who wants a nice tool to blend and apply foundation or concealer with.

Kids Need Our Care: Building a Child (and Parent) Friendly Practice
By Amber Brooks, DC, CACCP, RN
There is so much beauty and meaning behind every child we touch as a doctor of chiropractic – it is an honor not to be taken lightly. There are so many sick children out there in need of your help, yet so many parents misguided and misinformed. So, how can you help them? How can you reach them? What should be considered when designing a child-friendly office? These are just a few of the questions I want to discuss with you now as a pediatric chiropractor focusing exclusively on the needs of children. Let's talk about the best strategies you can employ to build a family wellness / pediatric practice.
Taking care of children is something I am passionate about. If you have been in practice long enough, you already know there is no magic recipe or one-size-fits-all approach, but I have found effective ways to communicate, market to, educate and help families transition from their sickness model to a wellness model. Together, let's change the world and heal more children.
Selecting the Right Space / Building
What should you consider when choosing the appropriate office space (or new building) in which to promote your child-friendly practice? This may be the most important decision you make, so do not take it lightly.
Of these, accessibility may be the most important – after all, you want the most people to be able to reach you from your surrounding metro-area, and you want to make it easy for them to come to your office for an appointment. I have more of a destination location; this means people do not drive by and decide to come in – they seek me out for a specific reason.
Nonetheless, my office is located between three major highways. Having good street exposure and clear signage is important regardless of your means of driving traffic to your door.
First-floor space is the second most important factor to consider – this may sound like a "duh" moment, but keep in mind that many parents have strollers, baby bags, assorted toys, car seats – and sometimes wheelchairs – so if they have to struggle just to get to your front door, it could be a deal breaker.
Please don't make parents find your office in one of those maze-type buildings; it's frustrating enough to load kids in the car and get them to their appointment on time. The harder and more painful you make accessibility, the harder it will be to get them to commit to care (at least with you).
And let's not forget about parking – I have practiced in areas where street parking was the only option, but whenever possible, ensure parents can always find a parking space close by. They will appreciate it whenever it snows or rains, and of course, being close to the office when they're loaded down with kids / bags / toys / etc. (see above) is always a good thing. Happy parents and kids are the goal.
Office Design: Make It Kid (and Parent) Friendly
Is your office designed to accommodate children? Parents always appreciate an office that is well-designed in this regard. Your office needs to truly accommodate infants through teens, as well as children of all ages with special needs. It would be a shame to lose a parent / child over poor office design. (Yes, this happens.)
If parents do not feel comfortable – or their children voice their own discomfort to their parents – they will go elsewhere. So, what to do? It is actually quite simple. My office is an extension of my home and I pride myself on sharing that experience with kids. After four locations, I have learned what can really make a difference. Here's a list of things to keep on the lookout for as you update your existing space or shop for new space to accommodate your family- and child-friendly practice:
As a business owner, you must think about how you want people to "feel" when they walk into your office. This will dictate your office color palette (walls, furniture, etc.), as well as what items you want patients to view / hear / etc. as they enter your office. For those of you less inclined to make design and color decisions, recruit a friend or family member to help you. In my office, I feature a soft teal palette that is calming to me and many of my patients.
You must think about layout for children when designing a kid-friendly practice. This is personal, of course, but you also must be practical. Think like a child - get on your hands and knees, and move around the office space. Can you grab anything dangerous? Do you have plug guards on all outlets? What would happen if a child jumped off the back of a reception-area chair? Are there any sharp corners they can hit? General rule: Do no harm; safety first.
I'm jealous of offices with cool water features, but they just do not work for kids. In my office, I would have kids licking the water and playing in it all the time.
Also pay attention to how low you hang pictures, etc., on your walls; the types of accessories you choose (lamps, etc.); and what you put on your counter surfaces – can a child (think infant through teens on everything) reach it? General rule: Don't leave anything within reach unless you are OK with a child playing with it or breaking it.
I have cabinets in my treatment rooms with exam equipment in drawers with safety locks. I also keep things like pens and my adjusting instrument outside the treatment rooms in an area easily accessed by me, but not children.
One of the most dreaded challenges parents face is the time spent waiting with their children before seeing the doctor. How do you handle this? At my office, they don't wait, which solves the problem, and if they do arrive early, we bring them back to one of our spacious treatment rooms, where the kids have toys to play with and space to be just that: kids.
If you tend to have patients waiting in your reception area, please coordinate a good space for the kids. Of course, you also want educational material or your favorite books / magazines available for parents to read while they're waiting.
Selecting toys for the office can be tricky. I bring this up because many offices I visit do a bad job in this regard. First, toys have to be washable, as germs are easily spread from one child to another when sharing toys. Second, I use noisy toys (which distracts them), and many parents don't have this type of toy at home because they are mind-numbingly annoying - which means they work perfectly in your dedicated kid space because they are new to the child. Third, think about stocking your space with wood toys, which tend to have fewer toxins and also are easy to clean. I ask parents to donate old toys to our office; whatever we can't use, we donate on their behalf.
Additional Ideas for Kid-Friendly Office Design
Communication Is Key
There is no better way to attain healing, compliance, referrals and retention than to communicate your message loud and clear. In a pediatric-focused practice, as in any practice, the first step to success is education. An educated patient is a compliant patient; dictating care to them never yields long-term results or retention.
Educating your families starts before they come into your office for their first appointment. In today's world of high-speed data at our fingertips, you must engage them and provide the proper education from the start. This can include videos, social media and website information.
In my experience, complimentary phone consultations have been invaluable. Think like a parent for a moment: They go to doctor after doctor, anxious, nervous and scared about the health of their child. Do you want them to be experiencing these emotions when they see you? No; that is not a healing mindset. Instead, spend a few minutes on the phone answering their questions and concerns, switching that anxiety into reassurance and excitement.
Once a new family has engaged you as their provider and you have accepted them into your practice, it is imperative that you educate them at every turn. It is best to do this yourself. You also may choose to utilize a well-trained staff member and/or provide resources in your office. For example, many parents come to me after a bad experience with another provider. Why? In all cases, care was dictated to them without proper education on how to heal their child. Again, a poorly educated parent is a train wreck waiting to happen.
As the doctor, you must remember that compliance breeds success, which only comes from educating them on how care works, what you can do for their child and how long it will take for results to be seen.
Compliance Boosters
There are a few things I do with every patient treatment plan to help ensure compliance and success:
Remember, the time you spend doing this will pave the road for compliance and trust, now and in the future. In addition, they will brag to their friends, family members and colleagues about how thorough you are, leading to referrals that will bring even more families to your door.
Other Ways to Educate
Speaking personally, webinars, monthly newsletters, social media and YouTube videos have proven to be amazing not just for educational purposes, but also to stay in touch with and in front of our parents / patients. Our monthly webinars are my favorite. While time consuming to make, they are a labor of love. They are free to anyone, not just patients. Why? Because many parents struggle with their extended families, babysitters, teachers, etc., not understanding their child or the care they are receiving. Education is the key to unifying families in crisis. By the way, these are also great marketing tools when posted on our website and social media pages.
Our newsletters are short and sweet, filled with applicable information about family wellness / health, the occasional recipe, and health warnings or current trends. We want parents to get the real story.
YouTube videos are trending and I absolutely love to make and share them. Patients seem to love the videos and access to information. They are a fantastic way to provide education outside the office and market your practice at the same time.
For example, I no longer have to explain to every parent how to mix supplements; I simply direct them to my 6-minute video and move forward with the appointment. These videos can be watched as many times as the parents need or want.
By the way, if you like these ideas, but don't have the time or ability to implement them right now, I welcome you to direct your parents to our YouTube videos and Facebook page, and forward our newsletter to help serve your families. No reason to reinvent the wheel.
You also should make sure you have a great website (or one to refer them to) that features scientific information / references to back up what you do for them. This helps ease their mind. In addition, offer classes in your office or online geared at the things parents struggle with most.
Marketing Tips: How to Bring in More Families / Children to Your Practice
Most of the tips for educating parents also have marketing value, but here are some starting strategies to appeal to this audience. It is important to keep serving children, which also will help grow our businesses. Beyond what we have covered, I suggest you adopt strategies you are good at doing or enjoy doing, such as speaking or screenings. Get out into your community and on social media to share your message and let parents know you are there for them. Answer common questions parents have.
You also may want to consider getting involved in your local school PTA, your church or synagogue, private school open houses, health fairs, regional / local conferences for mothers and children, and your local chamber of commerce to let parents know you are a family- and kid-friendly chiropractor ready to serve their needs.
I know running a private practice is hard. It can be the most difficult - but also the most rewarding - thing you ever do in your lifetime. You have been given a gift to heal, spent years of your time in school to be best; so let these tips add to your greatness and help move you to that next level. I implore you to help as many children as you can. Help them make wonderful changes to their lives and health.

Obituary of Thorleif Sorlien
Thorleif Sorlien age 93 of Viborg, SD passed away Friday, June 22, 2018 unexpectedly at his home.

Thorleif was born on July 4th, 1924 in Brumunddal, Norway to Ludwig and Ingeborg Sorlien. He was the youngest of nine children.
When he was just 15 years old, Germany invaded Norway and Thorleif joined the Norwegian underground to fight for his homeland. After the war he met his first love, Hallgerd Solberg, they married in 1947. Their first son, Lars was born in September 1948 and their second son Tor was born in February 1953. In December of 1953 their family immigrated to the Menno area where Thorleif planned to farm with his oldest brother Alfred. They farmed their own farm until 1968. While farming Thorleif supplemented his income by shoeing horses and made friends with people in the horse business. After farming he trained horses for 2 years and then was a town cop in Colton. He worked for the South Dakota Penitentiary as a guard and for several years as the Penitentiary farm manager. In 1990 they retired to Viborg. After retirement he was a courier for the Viborg hospital for several years.
Thorleif and Hallgerd were dedicated members of Sons of Norway and he was proud to be part of the Norse Glee Club.
Hallgerd died in 2011. In 2015 he met and married Sylvia Ruter. Her love and care made his last years very happy.
Thorleif is survived by his wife Sylvia, his son Lars (Barb) Lake Andes, their daughters Pam Iverson and Kristy Sorlien, Mitchell. And son Tor (Marion), their children Amy (Troy) Lee and Mac (Stacey) Sorlien all of Viborg and 12 great grandchildren. He was welcomed and loved by all of Sylvia's children and grandchildren. Nieces and nephews here and in Norway mourn his passing.
He was preceded in death by his wife Hallgerd, an infant son and all of his siblings.
Thorleif was a big man with a big heart, he charmed people with his Norwegian brogue and ready humor and had friends wherever he was. He loved tinkering in his woodworking shop and everyone in our family has cedar chest, clocks and Tina boxes that we cherish and will remember him by. He treasured and shared his Norwegian heritage but was also so proud to be a US citizen.

Australian Aboriginal group brings heart to the symphony
Seven years ago Australia's most celebrated Aboriginal singers and musicians got together to try to redress some of the gaps in the often-ignored areas of art and culture. The result was The Black Arm Band - and their latest project is a collaboration with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra called 'Ngangwurra', which means heart.
CLARIFICATION: The Black Arm Band recently clarified on their website that the "bush" violin used in the band's recent collaboration with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was created by the Melbourne-based sculptor and instrument maker David Murphy.
