When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.
Do you know that old hymn "It is well with my soul"? It's one of my favorites. I love everything about it…the responsiveness and harmonies in the chorus, the building melody, and of course the hope and promise in the lyrics. But most of all I love the story behind the song. Horatio Spafford wrote these words while mourning the loss of his four daughters, killed at sea. This tragedy was one of many Spafford suffered, including the death of his only son several years before, and the loss of his business to the Chicago fires. And yet, in his grief and sorrow he was able to say "it is well with my soul." Oh how I aspire to affirm these words and posses the faithfulness of Mr. Spafford.
Last Sunday our amazing praise band sang this song and by the second line a giant lump had formed in my throat preventing me from doing more than mouth the words. Then the tears began to pool until they flowed over my lashes and down my cheeks. I wept for the beauty of the song. I cried because of the promise of the words. But more than anything, my heart broke because I so desperately wanted to say those words and believe they were true. To trust in my Father so deeply that even when I'm in the middle of a raging storm I can be confident that He will whisper peace to my soul. But the tears came because I knew all that I was lacking.
It's been a difficult couple of weeks. Stress, overwhelming responsibility, lack of sleep, lack of focus…lack of faith. I have felt like the "Jordan above me" was sweeping me into its current. And I most definitely have not felt like all is well in my soul.
It is hard to face this part of myself. This part that lacks faith and falls short. That doubts and mistrusts and turns away. That focuses on the unfavorable and overlooks the blessings. That sees adversity without opportunity and cries out "when?" and "why?" instead of "I can wait" and "I put my trust in You." In the midst of horrible tragedy and loss Horatio Spafford was able to have peace in his soul, but I have a rough week at work or struggle with my kids and I start to fracture.
Patience, trust, faith. These are the things I try to teach my children, they are prayers I lift up for friends who are struggling, encouragement I pass on to colleagues, words I share with all of you who read this blog. Yet so often I forget them for myself.
But our God…He knew I would. He is so good and merciful; He caters for my lack of faith and meets me where I am. The living word says, "…there is one ray of hope: his compassion never ends. It is only the Lord's mercies that have kept us from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his loving-kindness begins afresh each day. My soul claims the Lord as my inheritance; therefore I will hope in him" (Lamentations 3:21-24, TLB).
His loving-kindness begins afresh each day. Can we just sit together a moment to soak up the warmth of that promise?
He doesn't just love me; He doesn't just forgive me. But He is kind and gentle with me. No yelling, no losing His patience, rolling His eyes or sighing heavily and muttering under His breath, "you'd think you would have gotten this figured out by now." Instead His loving-kindness is there, refreshed and renewed every day. Which means I get a fresh start every day. We all get a fresh start every day.
Every. Single. Day.
Yesterday my soul was weary. My faith wavered. My trials consumed my thoughts. The river rolled over me and I struggled to keep my head above.
But today? Today is a new day and His gentle, loving kindness is pure and bright and fresh. It glows like a rising sun and I have another chance to bask in its warmth. To let it wash over me and straight into my soul. Another chance to choose trust, patience, and faith instead of doubt, worry and fear. To choose to say: it is well, it is well with my soul.

In the last few years the fitness industry has grown in leaps and bounds. 'Fitness' has become the buzz word, with everyone wanting to be trim and healthy. With this increase in the number of people looking to get fit, the need arises for professionals to train them. This opens up a host of fitness job opportunities for personal trainers. Not only gym-based posts, as a personal trainer you now have a choice to conduct fitness training in a range of other fitness areas. So once you have completed Marbella trainer courses, you can choose to conduct fitness training in any of the following options:
Company-based training
Company managements who offer fitness jobs in Marbella these days realise that if their staff are physically fit, they will perform better. To this many companies are hiring personal trainers to conduct fitness training for their staff. Since in general companies work on the 9-to-5 clock, conducting fitness sessions could prove a breeze. Interaction with company staff also offers additional fitness training business through their contacts.
Traditional gym training
Since gyms in Marbella are 'the-go-to' place for getting fit, most personal trainers take up a career as gym instructors. Working in a gym will provide you with a wide range of experience as you will be dealing with men, women, middle-aged, young, even people with a few health problems.
As a gym Marbella personal trainer it is your job to access each individual's fitness capacity and draw up suitable workout programmes. Taking up a gym post can prove valuable as you get exposure to a range of fitness issues.
Targeting the luxury level
If you have the right confidence, experience and expertise in fitness training, you could look at taking up a post in a luxury hotel in Marbella. Such hotels are mostly patronised by the well-off crowd. Luxury fitness experiences are all listed on Fitness Spain website.
Besides being a well-paid assignment, as a fitness trainer in a luxury level you will need to develop additional skills like patience, pampering and ultra-politeness – it is what the rich class are looking for. Additional perks of working in a hotel could include free accommodation and meals.
Another opportunity to use your fitness training prowess is to join a cruise ship. Fitness freaks look forward to continuing their fitness regime even while on holiday. So if you do not suffer from sea-sickness, joining a cruise ship offers a good working holiday opportunity.
If none of the above options appeal to you, you can always operate on an individual level. Advertise online and build up a list of clients depending on your skills and availability. Being your own boss will have its advantages but you will also have to sharpen your sales skills. You will not have the benefit of a readymade client base.

Vegan Mofo
There was a sad time in my life when I didn't know what Vegan MoFo even was… and that time was from birth until about two weeks ago. But if you haven't already heard on nearly 500 other blogs, November is Vegan Month of Food. Vegan MoFo comes out of the Post Punk Kitchen as a way to celebrate vegan food through an entire month of vegan food blogging. It's going to be vegan blog overload (in a good way)! The general goal is for vegan bloggers, food and otherwise, to post about vegan food every weekday in the month of November. Oh, I already blog about vegan food five days a week? You're right. So in true infomercial style, I'm throwing in TWO EXTRA DAYS of I Eat Trees blogging in celebration of Vegan MoFo. Act now and get not only Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, but Saturday AND Sunday thrown in too! I'm also planning a few special posts and giveaways, so keep your eye out for some MoFoing fun on I Eat Trees!
Are you Vegan MoFoing? If so, have you set any special goals for your blog?
No special goals yet but yes, it will be vegan food overload! 😀
I am excited to read all the great posts from all my favorite blogs. Maybe I will find a few new ones along the way. 🙂
Awesome, Keri, looking forward to your extra bonus posts. I'm doing MoFo too, this will be my 2nd year. I'm going to do different themes for each day of the week. VERY excited!
Way excited to take part this year! I am setting goals, which I plan on posting about in my kickoff post tomorrow 🙂 First goal, however, is to post every day! This will be my #1 challege for sure.
I will be MoFoing! Other than blogging more, I am trying to thrown in a few more ethics. There are some non vegan readers out there and this is my chance to convert. 🙂
I want to definatley do some holiday blogging, but no goals yet. Still a couple months new to veganism, so still figuring it all out as i go 🙂
I'm not going to be posting every day but I hope to add some new vegan recipes to my blog this month just not sure what I'll be making yet. However this week I think I'll be making my first batch of seitan!!

All we need good floor mats to give the best possible protection for our Saab floor. Many of front and rear mat applications are model specific, while others are assigned as the best possible fit for the vehicle from many shapes and sizes.
Currently, on the market there are many aftermarket manufacturers of mats for Saab, and some we have already mentioned. Despite these "ordinary" mats, that has been mentioned, in the market can be found 3D floor mats.
3D floor mats have raised edges, so they provide full protection of the floor of dust and mud. Three dimensional (3D) designs measured to exact cabin contours of Saab with raised edges that give maximum coverage and protection to vehicle interior; Waterproof; effectively contain mess and spills.
The patented anti-skid bottom layer keeps mats in place without harming the original carpet like Velcro or without leaving marks like nibs of traditional rubber floor mats. Shock and sound absorbent inner layer adds even more protection.
These 3D mats manufactured by several companies – such as 3D Maxpider, State of Nine, Euromat3D, also can be found on Ebay, and their price ranges from $80 to 150 US dollars.

Boston College
Boston College
March 2014 to Present
To migrate data from their existing DigiTool repository into Islandora to empower staff to further populate, curate and maintain the repository.
Boston College started with our "Jumpstart" installation bundle which enabled the team at Boston College University Libraries to test the software, define how to modify the theme, receive training and clarify the customizations that would bring their repository to life. Next, the college undertook a detailed assessment project to outline the approach for migrating data from their DigiTool repository, map existing handles and create new ones, as well as modify the Islandora Video Solution Pack for streaming video.
Boston College launched their new Islandora institutional repository, eScholarship@BC, in February 2015 to showcase and preserve Boston College's scholarly output in digital form and to make it freely accessible globally.

Driving in snow can be a true test of skill, but for many it is more a test of luck.
Last week in Russia, there was an excellent example of the latter.
What appears to be a boring drive across the countryside very suddenly turns into what could have been the worst nightmare imaginable.
Even though he probably has not slept in a week and may still be screaming, we think this is the luckiest driver in the world.

I am senior, Music Education Major, at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas. For my January Interterm class I decided to create my own class and do something slightly different. A one woman show. In four weeks I will memorize 50 pages of lines, create blocking, build a set, advertise, and start conversations about peace.
To give you a little more background about why I am doing this project, I need to talk a little bit about my interterm class two years ago. Two interterms ago I was given the opportunity to take a class that spent three weeks in the Holy Land. I hopped on a plane to fly overseas for the first time, not knowing what I was getting myself into. I spent those three weeks traveling around Israel/Palestine discovering a world I didn't know existed. Part of this trip involved following the foot steps of Jesus, the other half opened my eyes to a world of horrifying conflict and suffering. I came back to the states moved and changed in ways I still don't understand.
In the following months after my return I talked with friends and professors to try and make sense of what I witnessed. My theater director, Megan Upton-Tyner, told me about the script My Name is Rachel Corrie and it immediately sparked my interest. After reading the play I knew I had to perform this script. Megan and I talked about the possibilities of this script and that is how this class came about. So here I am two years later performing a script about a cause I'm passionate about hoping to make difference.
My goal for this play is to spread the word about what is going on in Israel/Palestine. Not the stories that the media and government shares with everyone, but the stories of the people living there. I will be performing the full performance of My Name is Rachel Corrie on February 1st. There will also be three presentations about the script and conflict in Israel/Palestine. The performances will be at Lorraine Avenue in Wichita, KS, Rainbow Mennonite in Kansas City, KS, and Hesston College in Hesston, KS.
The point of this blog is to give people an insight on my experience as I work with the script. There will also be several projects along the way that I hope to explain. Check regularly for updates! Let's talk about peace!

Republicans consider lawsuit as Democrats claim Pennsylvania election win
Conor Lamb is clinging to a slender lead in the long-time Republican stronghold friendly to Donald Trump.
Republicans are eyeing a recount and a lawsuit over perceived irregularities in a closely watched US election where the Democratic candidate is claiming victory in a Trump stronghold.
Conor Lamb is clinging to a slender lead in the House of Representatives race in Pennsylvania.
With the last batch of absentee ballots counted, Mr Lamb, a 33-year-old former prosecutor and first-time candidate, saw his edge over Republican Rick Saccone shrink slightly, to 627 votes out of more than 224,000 cast, according to unofficial results.
We did it.— Conor Lamb (@ConorLambPA) March 14, 2018
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'm so grateful to everyone who made this possible.
I'm proud of what we accomplished last night. I'm proud to be a Western Pennsylvania Democrat. And I'm ready to get to work for the people of #PA18.
The four counties in the Pittsburgh-area district reported they had about 375 uncounted provisional, military and overseas ballots.
They have seven days to count the provisional ballots, and the deadline to receive military and overseas ballots is Tuesday.
With the margin so close, supporters of either candidate can ask for a recount.
The Republicans are considering lodging a recount request, and county officials reported receiving a letter from a law firm requesting that they preserve their records, something the counties say they do under state law.
Separately, Republicans mulled legal action, according to a person familiar with the deliberations.
Complaints could include that party lawyers were prevented from observing the counting of some absentee ballots, voting machines erroneously recorded votes for Mr Lamb, and voters were confused by some information from the state elections website.
Officials in Allegheny County, the most populous and Democratic-leaning county in the district, pushed back on Republican claims, saying the lawyers lacked written authorisation from Republicans and they had received no reports by Tuesday of malfunctioning voting machines.
The race is seen nationally as an indicator of Democratic enthusiasm and Republican vulnerability heading into the November elections that will determine whether Republicans retain their control of Congress.
Mr Lamb has declared victory, but Mr Saccone, a 60-year-old Air Force veteran turned state lawmaker and college instructor, has not conceded. Mr Saccone's campaign said he had no plans to concede before vote counting was finished.
Regardless of the outcome, Mr Lamb's showing seemed certain to stoke anxiety among Republicans nationwide and renew enthusiasm among Democrats.
President Trump won the district by about 20 percentage points in 2016, and the seat has been in Republican hands for 15 years. It was open now only because Republican Tim Murphy, who espoused strong anti-abortion views, resigned last autumn amid revelations that he had asked a woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair to have an abortion.
Democrats must flip 24 Republican-held seats this autumn to seize control of the House, and months ago few had counted on this district to be in play.
Mr Lamb asserted his independence from national Democratic leaders and played down his opposition to Mr Trump, but he also fully embraced organised labour in a district with influential labour unions and a long history of steel-making and coal-mining, hammering Republican tax cuts as a giveaway to the rich and promising to defend social security, Medicare and pensions.
Mr Trump and his allies invested tremendous time and resources in the seat, mindful the contest could be used to measure his lasting appeal among white working-class voters.

My server will be undergoing some maintenance today. Trying to keep shennanigans to a minimum.
Technorati.com is a pretty handy site for looking at how sites link to each other. This is an obligatory post so they can see that I own this domain. Cause that's how they roll now yo.
I'm updating the server in the next few minutes so expect weirdness.
Gotta track down that server gnome repellant…
Update: Done, and I think I can send out the "all is well" guy with the bell.
You learn the damnedest things from server logs…
While browsing through today's server activity I discovered a connection (from an army.mil IP range no less) to this post by one Mr Tyler Riggs.
The server also records where the connection originated from. This one is a bit … unusual for the traffic we normally get.
That's right. Somehow we are currently #1 on Yahoo's search for "lady midgets".
So I'd like to give a warm welcome to the pba.army.mil user who found our site while searching Yahoo, and a well deserved "Are you happy now?" to Mr Riggs.
Well done! 🙂
Like many other people, I like the color blue.
I hope everyone else can deal with it 🙂
The site is now using iTheme by n. design studio.
Items on the right side can be minimized with the toolbar buttons and dragged around and reordered using your mouse. I'm also trying out the WordPress widgets which are now built-in to WordPress 2.2.
I believe the technical term for all this eye candy is "snazzy." I could be wrong.
Finally…the Ro…no, that doesn't quite work…stealing catchphrases is kinda lame, especially when the one yer stealing appears on t-shirts…
Anyway…seeing that Jay finally updated this place reminded me that I too can saturate your consciousness with my babble, so since I'm not totally sober, I will…
Being the big brother in any scenario involving a baby rules…
Even though the song's kinda catchy…the reality of the situation is that you should never "wish they all could be California girls"…
We really need to start updating this thing more than once every 50 days or so…
Everything supposedly happens for a reason…
Why don't we usually know those reasons?…
By now…is there anyone who doesn't know smoking's bad for you?…
That's all for now…I'll do better next time…
So, I'm back…and that's not a bad thing
…It's a GOOD thing…for all 7 of you that read the tripe that we post.
Someday maybe I'll get around to posting something that matters.
Ladies and gentlemen please join me in extending a warm welcome to The Tourist aka Tyler Riggs, a long, LONG time buddy of mine. He left the great white north for the sunnier Arizona and we recently started IM'ing thanks to another long time friend. Some random occasion a few years back he had told me that George Romero's Land of the Dead was so terrible I shouldn't even bother seeing it.
I was shocked. This was the same guy who first showed me the original Dawn of the Dead.
This is what I got in return for a two sentence question this evening, asking him why he felt so strongly about it:
One VERY good reason. George Romero has tried several times to make a serious movie outside of the zombie genre. he has failed famously. Land of the Dead (LOD) was probably the last major movie he was ever going to make. And instead of utilizing John Leguizamo and creating a massive epic of violence and subtle social commentary, he instead chose to go with a gay ass "ooo, lets feel BAD for the zombies, they're people too!" hippy fucking BULLSHIT. My main problem with LOD isnt that its that bad, its that it wasnt awesome. He had a shot, one last chance to bring the whole genre he started together. He could have combined dawn and day and mixed in a little 28, but instead the movie limped along until its rotting corpse fell apart and rotted.
A few minutes later we have ourselves a new contributing member 🙂

Toddy Live review
Summary: Toddy Live features a cute hunk amateur named Toddy that spends plenty of time in front of his webcam. Although the live shows are offsite, you get hundreds of his videos featuring cum shots, workouts, and more. Better yet, many of the videos are in HD and they look fucking incredible. Add to that the Bad Puppy network and you aren't going to mind the small problems here and there.

Bad Puppy access
First impression
Toddy Live doesn't have a tour at all - the main page looks to be his blog, which starts off with a rather enticing entry about a massive dildo that looks like it's going to wreck havoc on someone's ass very soon.
The member's area is identical to the tour, and it still has that very odd blog setup. Navigation is taken care of through the sidebar, with HD media and Live shows being the main sections, and bonuses at the bottom. It doesn't look like a bad setup, just one that you really need to let grow on you, I suppose.
Payment Processors:
CCBill, Epoch
Our opinion
Toddy Live is definitely an unconventional setup, and it doesn't really give you much of an idea of what to expect from the site itself. Unfortunately, the actual 1 on 1 live shows are pay shows, done through the iFriendsV2 system. It does seem to indicate that public chat shouldn't incur additional costs, however, although a cam schedule would have been very helpful to have on site.
The HD Media section is where all of the content is contained, and it seems to be one hell of a mismash. I'm having a lot of speed problems with this site, where it just tends to hang a lot as I'm browsing around the various sections. This is rather annoying after awhile, since it didn't just happen once or twice.
The videos have different categories like cumshot, freeplays, and the bench, giving you a pretty interesting variety in videos to explore. There are 476 videos and 16 photo sets. Both types are all about Toddy and his sexy hunk body, and there aren't just the hardcore type of nude cams that you might be thinking. There's an entire area showing off his work out sessions if you love watching a hot and sweaty amateur, and others that show off various types of underwear and boxers that he's showing off. It's the type of thing that you would expect from a very active amateur site, and I'm enjoying it for sure. Updates go when Toddy decides they should, and you usually get two or three updates a month.
Since this is a site based off live cam action, I'm not really expecting super high quality out of the videos. I'm not a big fan of the way the sets are laid out on most of the episode pages - you go through a few different levels of drop downs to get to the videos, and you're not getting a description or anything when you get down there. WMV is the format of the hour here, and all three qualities are available in it. This is full scene action only for most, although some longer videos do look to be offered in parts.
Quality for the latest updates are shown at 1280x720 and 5 mbps, 856x480 and 3mbps, and 482x240 and 500 kbps. Older videos range back as far as 2004, and those usually only offer the TV quality WMV and are shown at 320x240 and 200 kbps. Needless to say, you can color me surprised at the beautiful HD videos shown here. The videos do tend to be pretty short, but with a camshow centric setup that's to be expected.
The photo sets have a very odd Flash gallery setup that gets in the way more than it helps out with your viewing. The galleries are on the small side with under 10 pictures per set, but they are much higher quality than I was expecting. The photos themselves are only shown at 700x500, but it seems to work out for Toddy. There is a slideshow feature, but no way to download the photos, whether via right click or zip download.
Extras wise, you get a full membership to the best gay megasite around, Bad Puppy. This is a pornsite and gay community all rolled into one, and it's a truly incredible experience. Plus they have daily updates over there, so if you need something to do in between Toddy Live updates this is going to be it.
Toddy Live might look a bit strange at first, and not having his webcam schedule right on the site is frustrating, but overall you're going to be happy with your experience here. There is a massive variety in the videos, and Toddy's personality is fucking incredible and comes through clearly. It just needs a bit more polish on the layout side to really make this a better experience, but it's pretty damn good already.

Linlithgow MP Martyn Day has called for a pledge to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence to be included in the SNP manifesto for next year's Holyrood elections.
The SNP member said the option of a second vote "needs to be kept open".
Both First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and her predecessor Alex Salmond have previously suggested last year's referendum, which produced a majority no result, was a "once in a generation" event.
There has been increased speculation in recent weeks that the SNP will include a promise to hold a second vote at a future date in their manifesto for the Scottish Parliament election in May, prompting Prime Minister David Cameron to say he would not authorise another referendum while he remained in power.
Speaking to the Independence Live website, Mr Day said: "I think there will be another referendum, I'm just not sure when. I think it needs to be kept open in the manifesto.
"I wouldn't want to rush into another referendum, it has to be when the Scottish people are ready."
He continued: "We know the faultlines we failed on in the last one. We didn't win enough of the elderly pensionsers, particularly older women, we didn't convince enough people of the currency arguments or the business scares. We know that's what we have to address.
"Once we address that, possibly combine it with a divisive EU referendum that could see Scotland and England voting differently, we might have the grounds for a snap referendum."

Twelve plaques with the names of each month give a charming look to this calendar, and you can easily change the dates with 31 dated tiles. There are six special event tiles including Anniversary, Happy Birthday, Thanksgiving, Father's Day, Mother's Day and Labor Day. Also, the flip sides of special days announce the holiday. For example, the tile with the number 1 is "Happy New Year"; 4 is "Independence Day"; and 25 says "Merry Christmas".

One of the better decisions that one can make in life is to make sure that you don't watch too much television. This is because most shows just aren't worth your time. Most television programs are so bad that nobody should be watching them.
Nevertheless, even though most tv shows do suck, that doesn't mean that there aren't any decent or watchable shows on television. You just need to know what the good shows are and which shows are the ones that you should avoid like the plague.
So knowing this all, you might think that those who could help you are the people who review television shows for living. They would give you the best advice on what shows to watch. After all, they watch television all the time, so they must know what they're talking about.
It seems totally plausible and in theory makes a lot of sense. The reality though is, that television critics are very likely the most unreliable people on this planet when it comes to making honest evaluations about the quality of different tv shows.
But why can't we trust the critics? What makes them so untrustworthy? Are they paid opportunists and cheerleaders who lie for living? Could it be that they aren't really that smart? That is because they usually can't tell right from wrong.
What probably makes me distrust tv critics the most is that they are so wildly clueless about the state of television entertainment. They think that television has never been better. They continuously proclaim that this is the golden age of television™ - even though it isn't.
Here's the reality about television shows: at any given year there aren't usually more than three or four quality shows on tv that are actually worth your time. The rest are more or less garbage that you should avoid at all cost.
During the nineties there were a lot more shows that were pretty decent. But today things are much, much worse - and yet the television critics won't admit that. In their minds just about every single television show is totally awesome.
I mean, for example, look at this daily chart that I copy-pasted from Avclub.com. This is one of the biggest sites on internet that does professional reviews of television shows. Just look at it, the chart consists mostly of 'A'-grades!
What are these people thinking? 'A' for New Girl, 'B' for Mindy Project, 'A' for The Good Wife and 'A' for Brooklyn Nine-Nine. This is pure madness. In my opinion all these shows are incredibly awful, they're hopelessly bad.
There's no way I would ever recommend anyone to watch these shows. There's no way I would ever be able to live with myself if I gave Mindy Project even a 'B'. It's so wrong. Most shows on the list deserve grades between C and F.
You simply can't trust these critics. If you watch these shows, you'll become dumber and you'll get more depressed. You'll learn to become more vain, more superficial and less interested in things that really matter in life.
If you want to get good advice about what shows to watch, there's probably no better source of information than your friends. They usually know what your sensibilities are and what are the shows that you'd like to watch. They might know - critics almost certainly won't.

What's more feminine than a bow? I love bows on anything-shoes, handbags, hair accessories, you name it. I also believe you can never be too old to wear anything with a bow on it. I plan to be a fashionable, bow-wearing lady even when my hair has gone gray. Today, I'm going to share a quick, weekend DIY with you for a super cute bow clutch!
What you'll need...
*1/2 yard of exterior fabric
*1/2 yard of lining fabric
*1/2 yard of fusible interfacing
*14 inch zipper
*Dressmaker pins
*Sewing machine
The First Steps...
1. Measure and cut two pieces of exterior fabric and two pieces of lining fabric into 14"x11" pieces.
2. Cut a larger, 22"x17" piece of fabric. This will be for your bow.
3. Cut a 5"x5" square. This will be the knot of your bow.
4. Measure and cut two pieces of fusible interfacing to 14"x11". Adhere the interfacing to your two exterior fabric pieces.
5. Take your 22"x17" piece and fold in half width-wise with right sides together. Press. Stitch the long edge with a 1/2" seam allowance. Press open seam and turn right-side out. Center your seam.
6. Take your 5"x5" piece and fold in half with right sides together. Stitch the long edge with a 1/4" seam allowance. Press open seam and turn right-side out. Center your seam and with right side together, stitch another 1/4" seam on short side. Turn right-side out.
Putting a bow on it...
7. Fold your sewn 22"x17" piece, accordion-style and slip through the knot piece, forming a bow as shown in the first photo.
8. Take your bow and pin it to one of your 14"x11" exterior pieces. If your bow is too large, you can trim the ends to match your 14"x11" piece. Stitch the raw edges of the bow to front of clutch using a 1/4" seam allowance.
9. Place the zipper face down along the top of your exterior piece. Place a piece of your lining fabric, right side down on top of your exterior piece and zipper.
10. Using a zipper foot, stitch the zipper to the lining and exterior piece using a 1/4" seam allowance.
11. Your lining, zipper, and exterior fabric should look like the last photo when you are finished stitching.
12. Repeat steps nine and ten for your remaining lining and exterior pieces.
The Finishing Touches...
13. Once the zipper has been attached to the top of your clutch, create a large rectangle by matching the right sides of your exterior fabric and right sides of your lining. *Ensure that your zipper is unzipped before sewing or you will not be able to turn your clutch right-side out.*
14. Leave a six inch opening at the bottom of your lining. Stitch a 1/2" seam allowance around your clutch, leaving the six inch opening. Trim your seam allowances and clip corners.
15. Turn right-side out through the six inch opening in lining. Slip stitch opening.
You're done! I've made two clutches and I've been experimenting with different sizes. I plan on using the blue clutch as an iPad case and the smaller one as a makeup bag. Try experimenting with different fabrics and prints, too!

INTENSE NDLOVU THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLETPosted on Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 2:27 pm
by The IDMA Team
"The Panther" Bares Claws at Molitor During Media Workout
TORONTO, ON – (Friday, March 19, 2010) IBF #1 ranked Takalani "The Panther" Ndlovu (30-5, 18 KO's) spoke to the media after a public workout at the famed Cabbagetown Boxing Club in preparation for his battle against "The Canadian Kid" Steve Molitor (31-1, 12 KO's, IBF #2 Junior Featherweight) for the vacant IBF Junior Featherweight world title, in the main event of Rumble at Rama XI, Saturday, March 27th at Casino Rama, in Rama, Ontario.
On his tactics for this fight, as compared to his first fight with Molitor (TKO 9 loss in 2007) "Nothing has changed. I'm the same fighter. He's the same fighter. I'm always happy with my performance all the time."
"I'm prepared this time, and I was prepared the last time we fought. The question is, how prepared is Molitor."
On fighting on the road in front of a hostile crowd, and if he feels he has to score a knockout to win. "This fight could be anywhere, it doesn't matter. I'm not fighting the judges, I'm fighting Steve Molitor, and he's just a regular fighter like me. The judges have nothing to do with me. The only person I'm focusing on is Molitor."
"I might not have any fans over to watch me, but I know they are back home, and they are with me. We are always celebrating back home. 2010 is South Africa's year. We have the World Cup, and we haven't stopped celebrating, and on March 27th I will give them another reason to be happy."
On what he would like to say to Molitor "Thumbs-up mother(expletive)" (said while extending two middle fingers into the air)
"Steve, you froze against Caballero (Molitor was stopped in four rounds by Celestino Caballero in December of 2008), and you'll freeze against me on March 27th. Mark my words."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas A Texas A&M University professor and her team of graduate and undergraduate students have created what may be the latest in navigational technology.
The professor, Tracy Hammond, fell in love with computers and programming in the third grade.
"A lot of it, at that time, was copying codes out of a book so that you could play the games," said Hammond. "You actually had to type them all in before you could play the games."
In 2010, a military official asked Hammond if she could come up with a navigational system for paratroopers.
"These paratroopers are jumping out of their plane in the middle of the night, trying to find their location," said Hammond.
The troops currently use visual cues to find their gathering point once on the ground. Hammond and her team designed a vest that uses Haptic, or vibration sensors. A vibration on the right or left shoulder indicates a turn.
"So that gives them their hands free, their eyes free, and they're able to just directly find the location," said Hammond.
Hammond and her team decided to take the technology to the civilian world. The HaptiGo is designed for pedestrians, and the HaptiMoto is designed for motorcycle riders, allowing them to focus their eyes, hands and ears on the road while navigating.
"It connects to Google Maps, so you can pre-program and say, hey I'm going to go here," said Hammond. "And then the vest will give you navigation directions on the fly, based on where you're going. So if you happen to miss a turn, it updates just like Google Maps directs."
Doctorial researcher and developer Manoj Prasad said the HaptiGo is equipped with sensors on the front that detect objects that may be in the way. A feature designed for pedestrians who may be distracted with digital devices and may not be paying attention to what's in front of them.
"It acts more like bats sensing," said Prasad. "So it will emit sound waves based on the reflection, and it will sense the distance."
Hammond said the technology has been tested in both military and civilian use.
The team says retail clothing stores may eventually sell clothing with the sensors built in.
The group has about six more months of testing to do, but if all goes well, they said the products could hit store shelves in about a year.

You want your in-laws to like you — of course you do. But the thing is, you just aren't sure that'll happen naturally. So if you need a little boost to take your relationship from cordial to cozy — but don't want to be obvious in your campaign to win their affections — relationship expert April Masini has five sneaky ways to get on your in-laws' good sides.
Be complimentary and kind without being sycophantic.
Keep compliments genuine, and manners ever present. "Would it kill you to tell your mother-in-law that her teal dress is very unique and lovely on her?" asks Masini. "No, it won't, so say it."
Don't win every battle.
"Decide if this is really a mountain you want to die on," Masini advises. In other words, do you want to be right and alone, or swallow your pride to keep the peace? "For instance, if your mother-in-law really wants Thanksgiving at her home, let her have it. Even if you're a cordon bleu chef, let her make Ritz Cracker stuffing for the turkey in her kitchen."

Go out of your way to invite them to things.
"When your in-laws feel left out, they get cranky," says Masini. By inviting them to events where their attendance isn't expected — think a midweek lunch date, or to join you for an afternoon manicure — "they won't feel that they have to second guess you or mistrust you," says Masini. "It doesn't have to be a fancy, planned out invite. It can be casual and last minute. The contact is more important than the event."
Frame photos of your in laws and display them around your home.
"When they visit, they'll feel flattered and they won't have that anxiety that comes with 'out of sight, out of mind,'" says Masini. It's also a sneaky-but-sweet gesture to hang their cards on your refrigerator, or display gifts they've bought you.
Introduce your in-laws to your friends.
Extend invitations to them to join parties where your friends will be, too. "When your in-laws feel like they're part of your world and are included in your social circles, they'll be able to relax and will think that they're appreciated," Masini explains.

DIY Molecular Gastronomy Kit Shows You How To Make Edible Foam
The crazy concoctions of this niche food genre can now be easily made at home.
Molecular gastronomy combines the art of cooking with science and is all the rage for any food connoisseur. It involves deconstructing meals and manipulating the conventional form, shape, and consistency of everyday food. Think of liquid pastas, cheese froth, carbonated fruit, and olive oil pudding. Molecular gastronomy is often thought of as cooking for elitists or something hard to do. However, Cuisine R-EVOLUTION hopes to change this perception with its MOLECULE-R starter kit.
The DIY home kit contains five sets of food additives and various lab tools in order to create 50 different recipes. The kit also includes an instructional DVD that shows you how to create foods like mint caviar, frozen chocolate wind, lemon cloud, rum sheets, and beet foam.

The stories are all the same.
A leader in the church leaves his family behind, his faith in shambles, his flock confused and wandering. I've read the articles and the headlines and I always am sad and hurt and confused. But from a distance.
This weekend, the truth of a fallen soldier hit home.
Our pastor announced that he no longer believes in the God of the Bible and also that he was having an affair and leaving his wife for another woman who is also married.
The amount of emotion this left me with was inexplainable. The weight, the tears, the anger, the sadness. I ache for his family, for the other woman and her family, for him. For our church. For the explanation I had to offer my own children.
My heart is grieved. Our hearts are grieved, all of us who called our pastor friend and teacher.
The question that has been asked a lot is, "What now?"
Good question.
What DO you do when you pastor fails? When he walks away from everything to which he's spent years encouraging his sheep to cling? When he abandons his family, his friends, and his God?
As my fallen pastor always said, it is to the Scriptures we cling and find our hope. When Jesus wanted to explain to us the deep truths of the universe, he did it through story.
He told the story of the one lost sheep and how the Shepherd would leave the flock and go bring back the one who strayed. He told the story of the prodigal son and how his Father held out hope and showered love upon his return.
Then he walked on water. He was carried into a tomb and walked out three days later.
He showed us that the laws of this world are His.
So to these things we cling:
1. We remain patient. Our Good Shepherd will never leave His sheep astray. If our pastor belongs to the Lord, He will bring Him home.
2. We love the victims in this tragedy disguised as decisions. They are victims, but they are not casualties. They are children of God, His righteous remnant, and they will be restored. We love them. We love them unconditionally and in whatever way we have been gifted to love.
3. We do not doubt the truth we have been taught. For years, our pastor taught the Bible. He no longer believes the truth that fell from his lips, but truth it was and truth is remains. We never doubt the ability of God to deliver a message.
4. We spend time in the Word. His Word is a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our path, the Flesh that dwelt among us, a sword in the hands of His people. We never stop reading. We never stop running after the heart of our God, the Good Shepherd, the One who will never leave or forsake us.
5. We pray. We pray without ceasing for the lost, the broken, the weary, His church, His will, His people.
And in these things, in these truths, we stand firm. With our heads held high, we pray without ceasing that the glory of God may be manifest even in this. That His Word would be exalted, His will clear, His place on the throne evident to all Who call upon His name.
And upon His name we call.
"Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."
-Isaiah 40:30-31
For His glory,

Last year, Maria's hair was long, and I loved it. Spurred by a lice outbreak a Maria's school, I learned how to make a sock bun (keeping her hair up any out of reach of little critters). A high sock bun became Maria's trademark hairstyle for a while. I'd do a bun and surround it with flowers and glittery bows--a folkloric look that suited my wistful, dreamy girl.
In the spring, Maria took matters into her own hands and cut her hair, ushering in the dragon hair phase followed by a return to short hair. We thought to grow it out, bringing a sock bun renaissance, but the winter got the better of me. Somehow, hair in the face makes a child seem twice as snotty and whiny as she would seem given better grooming. So, as with the Norman haircut of yore, I picked up the scissor to appease the voices that yelled "chop it all off!" from the backseat of my mind. Here are the resulting two brown, bobbed heads.
|Maria is already practicing for the photo on the dust jacket of her novel.
|What a ham!
Maria and Louisa started at the Montessori school this past week. They're excited to be going to school. In fact, Louisa resists leaving when I arrive to pick them up. That's not so flattering for me.
Getting back into the swing of school drop-offs and pick-ups took much of our attention the week. There's the shuffling of winter gear, the paper work, the extra miles on the car. But it is all still new and exciting.
With the older girls at school in the mornings, I hope to get a little time to myself (providing that Pippa naps). Perhaps I'll be able to make headway in taming the chaotic corners (read rooms) of our house. Perhaps we can bring a little of the order and freedom of the Montessori environment home. That's the hope, at least.
One happy thing about our return to the Montessori School is that the girls will be able to continue their Tuesday morning Catechesis of the Good Shepard program. I love the program and how the girls seem to be imbibing ideas in Atrium. I love hearing Maria talking to herself off-handedly in the back of the car. "God is the sheperd and he always looks for his sheep. I'm a sheep, baa, baa, baa!"
Donnie: You know why you have to stay away from sharks, right?
Loulou: Because they'll blow down your house!
So much for our girl ever being a naturalist. One of Louisa's favorite books is The Three Little Hawaiian Pigs and the Magic Shark.
The girls have been doing a lot a doctor play lately (probably as a result of our many doctor's visits over the past month). Louisa uses doctor as verb. "She's sick. I'm gonna doctor her." Usually, Louisa's patients have fallen victim to one of two mishaps. Either they have choked on a battery or they were bitten by a lion.
One last entry:
My solution to the crisis of keeping baby socks on babies---just use adult socks! Works so much better! Really, this is the kind of brilliance that can only happen at three kids in.
|Pippa's sideways smile. It's the thing of the moment.
Our Christmas tree is still up! A tree is such a lovely treatment for seasonal affect disorder. And it has to be a sort of humidifier as well, right? I haven't been able to face taking it down. I'm waiting for the calvary to arrive in the form of my mother.

Press release
Brussels, 23 July 2012
Digital Agenda: Commission opens public consultation on preservation of the open internet (net neutrality)
The European Commission is today launching a public consultation seeking answers to questions on transparency, switching and certain aspects of internet traffic management, with a view to its commitment to preserve the open and neutral character of the Internet.
These questions have emerged as key issues in the "net neutrality" debate that has taken place in Europe over the past years, including the recent findings of the Body of European Regulators of European Communications (BEREC).
Input is sought from all interested public and private parties, including fixed and mobile internet service providers, Internet content and application providers (including comparison websites), equipment manufacturers, transit providers, investors, public authorities, consumers and their associations. The responses to this consultation will be crucial input for the Commission's planned recommendations announced by European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes on 29 May 2012 (see MEMO 12/389)
Neelie Kroes said: "Today there is a lack of effective consumer choice when it comes to internet offers. I will use this consultation to help prepare recommendations that will generate more real choices and end the net neutrality waiting game in Europe. Input from this consultation will help turn BEREC's findings into practical recommendations."
In particular the Commission seeks views on:
The consultation document and additional information are available at:
Responses to the public consultation should be sent before 15 October 2012.
In November 2009, the EU electronic communications framework was revised. The new rules include the objective that subscribers should be able to access and distribute information or run applications and services of their choice. At the same time, the Commission set out in its Declaration on Net Neutrality its commitment to preserve the open and neutral character of the internet.
Following a more general public consultation (IP/10/860,), the Commission published a Communication on the open internet and net neutrality in Europe in April 2011. At the same time the Commission asked the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) to undertake a fact-finding exercise on issues crucial to ensuring an open and neutral internet, including barriers to changing operators, blocking or throttling of internet traffic and transparency and quality of service.
On 29 May 2012 BEREC published the results of its traffic management investigation, which showed that several fixed and mobile network and service operators apply certain usage restrictions (blocking or slowing down of certain services) affecting a significant number of subscribers in Europe.
As the previous consultation was of a more general nature, this consultation will focus specifically on transparency, switching and certain aspects of traffic management in order to provide input for future guidance that the Commission intends to publish in 2013.

The International Eventing Forum is the brain child of a group of experienced equestrian professionals who are passionate about the sport of eventing. They do say that 'mighty oaks from little acorns grow' and from its inaugural date in 2004, the Forum has grown and developed into the 'must attend' pre-season fixture that it is today.
An essential date for riders and trainers of all levels of experience and ambition in the sport of eventing, the Forum brings the highest calibre of speakers, from Olympic Gold Medallists to the trainers of Olympic Gold Medallists, together with 'demo' riders of varying levels of experience and horses of all shapes, sizes and abilities, to offer attendees genuine insights into how to train better, safer and smarter, for improved and long-lasting performance results.
Taking place in the wonderful, indoor and heated facilities of Hartpury College, the title and focus of the Forum varies from year to year, but the format for the day remains consistent. Based around interaction between trainer, judge, course designer, rider and everyone that attends on the day the Forum benefits riders of all skill levels and ambitions, whether your goal is to win Badminton, or simply to compete at your first BE90, Intro, Riding Club or Pony Club event.
With topics each year covering all disciplines – dressage, cross country and showjumping, together with an exploration of topics such as essential veterinary insights and discussions surrounding rule updates and developments in course design, the International Eventing Forum is not to be missed.

At Keystone we do things differently, and have since we first opened our doors in 1996. This different way means focusing on you, our customer, and building RVs that are much more than great floor plans and prices. It starts with innovative products that are built tough, and doesn't stop there. It's our commitment to provide a better ownership experience. We understand that when you put your hard earned money down, you expect your RV to deliver as promised. That's why "Building Adventures for the Long Haul" is more than just a slogan here at Keystone; it is our number one mission each and every day. It's the reason today we are honored to say we have nearly one million Keystone owners out on the open road who we consider family.

The primary purpose of Essex security alarms is to be a deterrent to any potential criminal. In most cases having a security alarm installed in your home or business is enough of a deterrent to criminals but at times you may need the added security of having your Essex security alarms monitored by a company who will be notified should your alarms be activated. This extra security will give you the added peace of mind when you are on holiday or away from your home or business.
We have all heard a security alarm going off, but no one seems to be doing anything about it or want to get involved as it is not there property and don't want to come across a crime in action. This is where having the extra monitoring of your alarm by a security alarm monitoring company works best as they will take the required action and contact either the police or a contact on the action list.
Which security alarm is right for you?
The right Essex security alarm for you will depend on what your needs are. Is it for a domestic or commercial property, do you need a CCTV system, door entry systems for access control, infra-red to movement sensors or a monitoring alarm?
Your budget and size of the property will also make a huge difference in the type of alarm you choose from the huge range of systems available, but no matter what your budget there is an alarm suitable for every property and budget.
Hard Wired Alarm or Wireless Alarm?
Which alarm system is best for you? Do you go for the wireless alarm that is easier to install or the hard wired alarm which takes considerately more time but may require less maintenance?
Hard Wired Alarms
A hard wired security alarm will need to be installed by a professional as there are British Standards that need to be met and conformed to. Any hard wired system once installed will have these standards in your documentation to say it complied with these regulations.
Hard wired systems as they sound need to be wired in to your property. These extra installation costs will increase the cost of having your Essex security alarm system installed but once installed they generally do not require any further maintenance and are considered more reliable and robust.
Wireless Alarms
Wireless alarms are less disruptive to install as there are no cables to run or holes to be drilled, this will of course reduce the installation costs.
The advantage of having a wireless alarm apart from it being cable free is that these systems are portable so can be easily moved from home to home.
Why not browse the full range of security systems available from Innov8 Security who will not only be more than happy to help you find the right system for your property, they will also help you sort through all the technical jargon that comes with each Essex security alarm.
