Cauliflower Gnocchi
Health-conscious Instagram influencers rave about TJ's cauliflower gnocchi because it's a great gluten-free (as well as sugar-, dairy- and egg-free) pasta option. They can be boiled, microwaved or even sautéed for a crispier option. They're a healthy Trader Joe's dinner hack!Trader Joe's

Everything but the Bagel Seasoning

Gluten-Free Cheese Pizza With Cauliflower Crust
This gluten-free cauliflower-crust pizza tastes exactly like a regular cheese pizza. It often sells out quickly when it's in stock, so we recommend picking up two or three.Trader Joe's

Parmesan Pastry Pups
TJ's customers give their pigs in a blanket situation a massive upgrade with Parmesan Pastry Pups. These mini beef franks wrapped in puff pastry and sprinkled with Parmesan also scored big in The Daily Meal's Trader Joe's appetizer taste-test.Trader Joe's

They're peanut butter-filled pretzels. What's not to love? They're Trader Joe's customers' "favorite snack."Trader Joe's

Trader Joe's frozen spanakopita is flakey, buttery and cheesy. Exactly the way spanakopita is supposed to be, except in the form of perfectly bite-sized triangular pockets. They're super easy to make, too. They might not be the healthiest frozen dinner, though - especially if you eat a whole box.Trader Joe's
Spiced Cider
This autumnal beverage is a customer favorite come September. The comforting spicy flavor makes this drink delicious cold or hot, and it even mixes well with liquor. Drink it out of a mug for maximum coziness!Trader Joe's
Sweet Chili Sauce
The sweet dipping sauce which features a blend of chiles and garlic is known for pairing well with Trader Joe's frozen appetizers - especially their Asian-inspired dishes. It's also their best-selling item in 13 states!Trader Joe's

Apple has issued invitations to a special event on 12 September, where the company is likely to unveil its sixth-generation iPhone.
The invite was sent to media on Tuesday, inviting them to an event at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater on 12 September, the date many had previously predicted would see the arrival of the iPhone 5.
The invite illustration reads "It's almost here" and shows a huge number 12, for the date, with the number five as its shadow.
Many believed that Apple will ditch the number in the next iPhone's name as it did with the third-generation iPad, simply naming it the new iPhone. However, the presence of the five in the invitation could suggest that Apple will be naming the device the iPhone 5 after all.
Another suggestion is that Apple will be launching five new products at the event, but others have pointed out that the line "it's almost here" points to only one product launch.
So, it's finally official. Who's excited?

Wi-Fi in the sky is a wonderful idea, but unfortunately, it's painfully unreliable. Boeing has just developed a new calibration technology that will hopefully help make your Boingo better.
Boeing engineers initially developed the new signal test method to comply with regulatory standards, but it will also help engineers optimize your Wi-Fi signal. According to Boeing, some of the problems with connectivity are that with so many bodies and objects moving around inside the tin vessels, even someone getting up to move around the cabin can cause a blip in your connectivity. Using new "proprietary measurement and analysis tools" the new calibration method helps engineers hone in the way a signal is propagated throughout an airplane cabin to maximize efficiency and eliminate weak signal areas inside the cabin. We can't wait to see if it actually works. [PRNewswire]

WebsiteAdmin necesitaba un nuevo diseño de banner publicitario y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 43 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
Self Cleaning Litter Box Direct
Self Cleaning Litter Box Direct is a website that sells the popular automatic litter boxes to families and individuals.
Target audience:
• Women
• 35 to 50+ yrs old
• No kids
• Fairly Wealthy crowd
• Generally White
They shop at stores like:
• PetSmart.com
• Drsfostersmith.com
• Petco.com
• Petfinder.com
The banner is going to be on the main page of my site.
The banner could have picture(s) of a happy cat or a family playing with their cat and would probably work better with product images in the background in a cool way. The website is focused on selling self cleaning litter boxes to families and individuals and so should reflect this in the image used. The picture should give off a feeling of love, support for the cat(s) in the picture. It should also show that the cat(s) and people are happy. The banner should blend in well with the website and its colors that can be found at http://www.selfcleaninglitterboxdirect.com. This banner will fit just under the "Self Cleaning Litter Box" heading.
The width of the picture should be 750 pixels and the height I am thinking somewhere between 200 to 250 pixels. Basically pick the height that will best fit in the picture and the text. The picture should also have a part that shows "Free Shipping On All Orders" or similar language with an asterisk at the end. You decide how best to display this.
The banner should be in .jpg, .png, or .gif format. I would also like designers to fit the banner into the blank image in the example attachment.
This will let me see what they would look like on the site.
If you have any questions, feel free to list them and I will be happy to respond to them.
Looking forward to seeing your designs.

Lesson Plans
By Vicki Bentley
Lesson Planning and Recordkeeping
1. Set goals for each child (intellectual, physical, spiritual, social—see Luke 2:52).
2. Determine what will be covered this year.
3. Order appropriate materials to accomplish goals.
4. Decide on "school" schedule.
5. Peruse materials and determine what you will cover and what you will not. Your curriculum is a tool, not a master.
6. Divide materials by number of weeks or number of days.
7. Build in some "down time."
8. Lay out a framework (1 math lesson per day Monday-Thursday with math game Friday; 1 LLATL lesson per week, 1 A Beka literature unit per month, etc.).
9. Write out a plan to accomplish your goals. Use pencil!
10. Measure yourself against the goals God has given you, not against your neighbor.
Other Resources
(This is from a newsletter article written when our younger girls were 13, 12, and 8 years old.)
When I began homeschooling in the 1980s, I didn't know anyone else who homeschooled. I was so afraid I'd do it wrong. Then I happened upon A Survivor's Guide to Homeschooling (Shackelford & White), and I realized—to my great relief—that there wasn't one "right" way to homeschool. We had the liberty to tailor our program and our schedule to the needs of our own family.
First my husband and I set goals for each of our children (Luke 2:52)—intellectual, physical, spiritual, social. I choose my curriculum with those goals in mind, making sure to cover the basics and character training above all else.
We decide on our basic school year. Some families choose to do formal school work all year long. Some work on a standard public school schedule, especially if they are in a neighborhood with lots of public school children, or if they have some children in conventional schools and others being home educated. We decided to work on an eight-weeks-on, one-week-off schedule, with two larger four-week breaks. This works well for me because, frankly, I figured I can do anything for eight weeks.
We begin in early August and have an eight-week session, then one week off, then eight weeks on, then four weeks off in December/early January. Then we go eight-on, one-off till the end of June (five total sessions). This gives us a week in between most sessions, which is long enough to work on a project, but not long enough to get bored. At the holiday time and in the summer, we take four weeks off, which is long enough for a big project (or break!), but not long enough for them to forget everything they've learned. This still gives us 40 "school" weeks, compared to our state's required 36, so we have four extra weeks to work with if we want to take a beach day or a laundry-catch-up day.
When the curriculum comes in, I go over each item to decide what I intend to use (some books may have sections I will not use, such as the projects, vocabulary, etc. if I am using a book as a supplement). This helps me to decide how long it will take us to go through the book.
For example, I will look at Saxon 65 and determine that if I have 40 school weeks but I want to leave Tuesdays as light days/catch-up in math and I want to be finished before camping at Sandy Cove in June, then I have approximately 156 work days to complete 140 lessons. If I do the additional tests, I cannot keep my slack Tuesdays. I decide to forego the additional tests in favor of my slack-Tuesday sanity checks/catch-up days and count each Friday's problem set as a test grade with no "looking back in the chapter." I also decide that, given the amount of built-in review and her skill level, Anna may do all the odds or all the evens on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but she must do all the problems on Friday. She will probably finish the book early, so we will just move on to the next one then.
On the curriculum-at-glance page of my planner, I lay out my basic year plan for the core subjects. This is just to give myself an idea of how to break things down later on; get an idea from the table of contents. For example, if you have nine months of school and the literature book has nine units, you know you'll probably want to cover a unit a month.
Math: (Anna) 1 Saxon lesson per day, off on Tues; multiplication drills
Language: (both) 1 lesson LLATL weekly, Daily Grams/GEAS T/Th
Unit studies: list of units to be covered this year; proposed length of each
I have tried time-scheduling several different ways: I have given the girls assignments (written into their lesson plan book) and had them work until each subject area is completed for the day. I have given them set amounts of time for each subject, then made any uncompleted work "homework." Our most recent attempt finds us allocating a certain amount of time for each subject and then moving on, and when they complete our requirements, they progress to the next "grade level." We may change again!
Sample Plan
We start at 9 a.m., after morning jobs, breakfast, and family devotions. Our plan looks like this:
With this schedule in mind, I plan accordingly in my lesson plan book. I keep Anna's and Leah's assignments in one planner that I supervise, while Rebekah has her own. I use a homeschool planner; you can just photocopy a weekly or daily assignment sheet, or use a notebook or computer, but I like the other features of the planner.
I started off by planning for the entire year at once, but I found that if I got sidetracked somehow, I got really stressed and felt the need to get caught up, even if I had slowed down because somebody didn't "get" something.
Then I tried just doing one session at a time (more on that later), which only "obligated" me for eight weeks; then I could regroup and rearrange as needed for next session. This would be great, except with my personality type (that sounds so much better than "character flaw"!) I would plan superbly for the first session, then forget/put off planning for the next session and would fly by the seat of my pants more than usual. So I decided to plan for the whole year, but give myself some catch-up time every so often so I don't get so stressed by keeping to The Schedule.
Regardless of how you do it, you will want an overview in mind for the year so you have a plan. How you implement that plan can be tackled once, at year's start, or periodically, but you need some standard to measure against as the year progresses. Note: That standard should not be your neighbor in the group. Your child is different than hers, your family is different, your teaching style is different. You measure against the goals God has given you.
Some people write the plans for the week/month/year in advance in pencil in great detail (i.e., under English: BJU English, pg.93, Prepositional Phrases, exercises 1-12), some just write the very basics, (i.e., under English: p 93, 1-12). Some people just go on to what's next in the book and log in what they did, journal style. Some people have the kids do it—whatever works.
Each day, when my girls finish their morning jobs, they can open the plan book and read down all the entries for the day; the page is marked with one of those fat black binder clips. They know the routine pretty well by now. They start their work and ask for help when needed. I am the only one authorized to check off that something is done (unless I give someone my proxy!) and all checks and writing are done in pencil. Test scores are logged in red ink/pencil in the plan book, in the same block as the exercise (as opposed to a separate grades page), so I can see the pattern from week to week. For the older girls who get grades, I keep weekly grades as needed (tests and other work), then total up weekly grades at end of the eight-weeks period.
Memory verses for Sunday school, work for Missionettes, extracurricular activities such as YMCA, skating, riding, dance, or youth development sports league, are all written in on weekly sheets.
Again, these are guidelines that have helped me, but there is no one right way to plan! You should glean from this and from others what you can and try different things until you find what works for your family.

Wolfgang the Seal is an excitable seal on Sesame Street, who communicates through a series of barks.
Wolfgang has a great affinity for fish. If he so much as hears the word "fish," he is apt to go into a frenzy, so other characters avoid saying the word in his presence.
He has appeared on Sesame Street since Season 21. In his early years he was owned by Uncle Wally, who taught the seal how to play a series of horns with his nose.
He also appeared in the special Sesame Street Stays Up Late, where he balanced a beach ball (representing Times Square's annual New Year's Eve custom of lowering a large crystalline ball on top of a building) on his nose. So as the countdown reaches zero, he threw the ball up in the air in slow motion with his nose.
His birthday is December 23rd.
Wolfgang made an illustrated cameo in the first part of Muppet Sherlock Holmes, where Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, working for Moriarty Masonry ("That's mason jars, not bricks, mind you,") have created the perfect seal for their jars. That perfect seal is Wolfgang, who seals the jars of preserves perfectly.
The Wolfgang puppet was later used as another seal character named Rollie in episode 4722.

- Sesame Street Stays Up Late (1995)

SBA Financing Fulfills Dreams For Family Owned Business
The remarkable saga of the Lara Family is the quintessential immigrant success story, one that has been played out in every community in every major city throughout America, where the smoggy air is unable to stifle the dreams that the less fortunate use to express their yearning for a better life. In this scenario, however the aspirations occur in Mexico and in East LA. Having just married Mercedes when he turned 18, Humberto Lara and his bride left the impovished town of La Cienega, Zacatecas in Mexico and headed for Los Angeles with the clothes on their backs and $50 that they were able to borrow. A cousin rented the young couple a small space in what, in effect, was a chicken coop and the Laras started the California chapter of their story.
Ten years and six children later the Laras purchased their first home. At this time, Humberto was working as a butcher and looking for ways to earn additional income to support the family. These thoughts became reality as the Lara Family opened Tacos Rinconcito to sell Mexican fast food to the surrounding businesses in the City of Bell. This operation served them well but did not completely sate their entrepreneurial spirit.
An opportunity to buy a full scale restaurant in Maywood presented itself and in 1987 Las Trancas Restaurant was born. In 1994, Humberto and Mercedes added a banquet hall business to complement the restaurant. By offering some of the Southland's best Mexican seafood entrees, Las Trancas became a local Latino legend which helped underscore the early success of the family business. In 1997, CBS Channel 2 News rated Las Trancas as one of the top 500 restaurants in Los Angeles County.
The key to success was the familial atmosphere that transcended the presence of excellent cuisine. Las Trancas was truly a family owned business. It was obvious that Humberto and Mercedes headed the operations; however, four of the children actively work in the Restaurant or Salon, and the other siblings have a passive affinity for the business.
Demand soon exceeded seating capacity, and the Lara Family decided to expand. Plans were established to enlarge the restaurant and to add another banquet hall. This time the Laras had to reach outside of the family resources to achieve this phase of business growth. They were in need of substantial financing for expansion.
It appeared that the Lara story would have an abbreviated ending. Several attempts to procure outside financing came to no avail. Without access to outside capital, the family business would not be able to reach its full potential and the dream would be over. It seemed that area financial institutions were reluctant to underwrite the restaurant expansion, categorizing the industry as too risky. The feasibility of acquiring a loan for another banquet also became questionable, in light of the fact that local bankers did not understand that end of the business.
Things appeared dim for the family, but because of the entrepreneurial spirit of both Humberto and Mercedes they remained firm and committed to persevere, just as they had done in the past when confronted by what appeared to be insurmountable obstacles. Their focused tenacity paid off in 1999, when they had the fortune to connect with Craig Conner, Vice President of the SBA Loan Department at Pacific Crest Bank (PCB). Craig visited the sites, acquired a solid grasp of the business operations and became well acquainted with the family behind this family-owned enterprise.
As a result of the relationship established between Craig's Bank and Las Trancas, two SBA 7 (a) loans have been made to the Laras. In 1999 the first loan doubled the restaurant capacity and added a beautiful patio eating area. The second loan financed the second location for the banquet business.
As an epilog, today, Humberto and Mercedes Lara are the proud owners of a thriving enterprise that provides security for the entire family, and has created three dozen jobs within the local community. In honor of their accomplishments, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) today selected Humberto and Mercedes Lara and Las Trancas Restaurant as winners of the Family Owned Business Award. The award will be presented to Mr. and Mrs. Lara at the SBA's 23rd Annual Small Business Week Awards Luncheon to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
SBA Los Angeles Office District Director Alberto G. Alvarado praised Mr. and Mrs. Lara for their accomplishments stating, "Humberto and Mercedes Lara epitomize the immigrant entrepreneur. They had to struggle to achieve each phase of their dream, but fortunately were endowed with the vision and the stick-to-it-tive-ness to persevere, and to seek the appropriate assistance. We are proud of what they have achieved for themselves, their family, and for Maywood and the surrounding community."

You know you're behind on your blog when you've got so many projects, and you keep forgetting to post about them. Case in point--I finished this quilt last September and it was featured on Riley Blake's Cutting Corner College in December. I used Hooty Hoot Kangaroo by Shari Butler of Doohikey Designs for the quilt, which was displayed in Riley Blake's booth at Fall 2010 Quilt Market in Houston.
Hop on over to the Riley Blake site for complete instructions and a tutorial on the quilt. Please let me know if you make one--I'd love to see it!
And I have to share a couple of pics of Aidan and Olivia that I took during the photo shoot that day. I love these guys.

When it comes to a home or business, it is rather important to keep the areas smelling fresh and free of any odors. There are a few different ways one can get rid of odors that linger around, however, only one or two are quite effective in the long run. One way that will be further discussed below is through the use of a diffuser. This is a scent machine that sprays the room as specified on the settings. Below, is a little bit more about the use of diffusers and why they are better than other alternatives.
What A Diffuser Entails
A diffuser is very easy to use. All it takes is removing the cover, inserting the oil of choice and replacing the machine. From there, all it takes is adjusting a few controls to your preferences. From there, the diffuser will do the rest. These diffusers have the ability to cover a large area without compromising the oil's natural state. The diffusers create a mist that does not need to be diluted, thus keeping it in its purest form. It creates a very faint smell that is enjoyed by many.
The Difference Between Small, Medium and Large Spaces
When it comes to a small space (up to 100 square feet), a diffuser is not needed. A smaller version will do the trick. An AromaCube is recommended for such spaces. This is a very small device that can be set on a table, mantle or hidden out of sight. For Medium and larger spaces, an actual diffuser is recommended. These will provide a scent up to 1,000 square feet. It is great for offices and larger rooms of a home where much traffic is expected on a daily basis. The essential oils used in the diffusers are kept pure and in their most natural form.
Nice scents at home improve mood and overall well-being. Likewise, enjoyable scents at the office improve mood and productivity. Because of this, it is important to maintain a space that is void of any odors and one that people can enjoy staying in a space for longer periods of time.

If membership is idea No. 4, then this is idea No. 5. (Hey, kudos to you if you've figured out that my life is going too fast right now to count.)
But first off, we've got a winner: Commenter Sue Ballou claims the assortment of Botanical Interest seeds, with her gift suggestion of one of Colorado State Entomologist Whitney Cranshaw's great bug books. Hooray, Sue! Another sender-inner reminds that the Denver Botanic Gardens' Blossoms of Lights (in Denver) and Trail of Lights (at Chatfield) shows are going strong and are extra pretty with snow on the ground. Both run only through Jan. 3, so make plans now.
The next prize for a gift-idea genius is the beautiful book "Right Rose, Right Place," by Peter Schneider. If the taxonomy of types of roses has always eluded you, this picture-packed hardback sorts it all out for you, along with luscious photos and cultivation and pruning information. The next time you stumble on a rose sale, you'll know your Bourbons from your Damasks and your shrubs from your grandifloras. That is, if you send me your ideas before next Friday, Dec. 18.
Garden gift idea No. 5: Bling. No, not the kind of rings and baubles you buy at the department store — GARDEN bling. Benches and birdbaths and garden art. I've got my share of non-plant garden stuff, but my favorites take advantage of Colorado's best energy source: the sun. I love my solar birdbath fountain to distraction, even though the fountain part of it long ago croaked due to my inability to bring stuff in when it freezes. If the gardener on your gift list has that flaw, be sure to get them something you know they'll love even when/if its water-moving parts go the way of all things mechanical.
It's a gift in itself just to set out some water and food for the birds on these frosty days when all their food sources are buried or dormant. (If you've got old sunflower heads with seeds still in them, how about bundling them up with a nice red bow and calling it holiday decoration? This is on my mind this winter more than ever, since this spring, my flowering crabapple didn't, and so there's no fruit on the tree for those birds who stayed. If a birdbath or feeder is beautiful, it qualifies as bling. Edibles are bling you can't get tired of, because the birds will see to it that it goes away.
If you're pressed for time, you can find lots of crafters selling birdseed ornaments on etsy.com. But if you want to show the love three ways — your gift recipient, the birds and the local economy — stop in at your LGC, or local garden center, and check out their supply of bird accoutrements first. Winter can be a tough season for not just birds, but local businesses, especially after weather like we've had last week, and you might find an unexpected sale.
So you, with the list: Put down the mouse, step away from the computer, and get out there this weekend before the crowds. Google your garden center's website and check for holiday hours. Stop at your fave indie coffeehouse for a seasonal java, and go suck up some nice humid oxygen among the plants.
That, my leaf-loving friends, qualifies as a gift to yourself. And if you garden, you've earned it.

North Bali lies in the rain shadow of the central range of volcanic mountains isolating it from the south and making it dryer and less humid. This district is famous for its artistic heritage and dance tradition. The style of the gold and silver work, together with the weaving, pottery and instrument making are all very distinctive and unique to the area. For hundreds of years this was the part of the island that was most open to foreign influence as Chinese and Muslim traders brought their products, religion and culture through the port of Singaraja. The incredible variety of the countryside, magnificent sunsets, local traditions and artistic culture, together with the slower pace of life, makes this historical area diverse, interesting and delightful, a real contrast to the other parts of the island and well worth a visit. Lovina is a long string of coastal villages on Bali's north coast, with a variety of tourist accommodation and facilities. There are some pretty, dark-sand beaches, swimming is safe and the area is good for the snorkelling, diving and dolphin watching.
Located on the tranquil and picturesque North coast of Bali, 15km East of Singaraja, this absolute beach front Villa enjoying both sunrises & sunsets.
Comfortable bedrooms are identical with queen-size beds, soft furnishings, air conditioning, ceiling fan, wardrobe, desk and safe. Functional living area has leather sofa, flat screen TV and entertainment system. Glass sliding doors allow the room to be air conditioned without compromising the ocean views.

Technical Paper
A Comprehensive CFD-FEA Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis for Diesel and Gasoline Engines
As the efforts to push capabilities of current engine hardware to their durability limits increases, more accurate and reliable analysis is necessary to ensure that designs are robust. This paper evaluates a method of Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) analysis for a gasoline and a diesel engine that combines combustion Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), engine Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and cooling jacket CFD with the goal of obtaining more accurate temperature distribution and heat loss predictions in an engine compared to standard de-coupled CFD and FEA analysis methods. This novel CHT technique was successfully applied to a 2.5 liter GM LHU gasoline engine at 3000 rpm and a 15.0 liter Cummins ISX heavy duty diesel engine operating at 1250 rpm. Combustion CFD simulations results for the gasoline and diesel engines are validated with the experimental data for cylinder pressure and heat release rate.

Christians suffer. We often face things in this life that are hard - cancer, financial woes, conflict. Why does God allow it? How are we to cope with it? Pastor Todd covers these questions and more in this message from Romans. We pray this sermon is greatly beneficial to you.

Breaking Ground!
So today is the big day- we break ground on our new addition! This part of any renovation is stressful, but I'm trying to just focus on the good part- the end game! This addition solves so many issues we have with our house- namely adding a master suite (and finally having more than one full bathroom), a laundry room on the main level, a coat closet (we had to take the one that existed out last time to open up the flow of the house and I have a coat addiction so…. it's kinda messy up in here), pantry for more food/kitchen storage, a garage that works and fits a modern car and widening our driveway.
Here is our house as it is now (well, as it was in the fall).
This is the section that's being knocked down!
Above the garage is a bedroom that you can only access right now through a 36″ high mini door. It's so strange (but would have rocked my world when I was little!) Andrew's office will become our master bathroom and off this will be our new master bedroom!
Getting out of our cars in this driveway has been a challenge to say the least.I can't tell you how many times I've cursed it and/or fell on my face. Also pretty psyched to get rid of that flagpole. We will be making this double width and using a stacked fieldstone retaining wall on the left hand side.
Here are the elevations for the addition as designed by my Dad's firm. Doing an addition on a hip roof house on a raised lot proved to be tricky but he did a great job (per usual)!
On this side we put a door to access the garage and one of the most exciting pieces of this reno- a central air compressor! No more window units! YAY!!!!
We couldn't put any windows on the mail level of the addition due to the location of the coat closet and laundry room so we're going to put a large trellis on it and I hope to grow something gorgeous up the back to add interest- roses or wisteria perhaps- and below that a little veggie garden!
All this activity is sure exciting for us, but not as much for our amazing neighbors to the side of us! We adore them, so as an offering I dropped off this yesterday! Let's hope this is a quick, issue-less three months!

House Cleaning
There are a few items to address here on the blog today. First off, congrats are in order for Aaron Hill and Adam Lind, who were well-deserving recipients of Silver Slugger Awards on Thursday night.
As a duo, Hill and Lind became only the second Jays teammates in team history to finish with at least 35 homers, 35 doubles and 100 RBIs in the same season. The 222 combined RBIs for the pair were the most in a season by a Toronto duo since '03.
It marked only the third time in Blue Jays history that two players from Toronto received Silver Sluggers in the same season. Other winners from the AL included Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, Rays third baseman Evan Longoria, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, Twins catcher Joe Mauer and outfielders Torii Hunter of the Angels, Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners and Jason Bay of the Red Sox.
"It felt pretty cool to finally win something after being up for a couple things," Lind said. "It felt great and I'm really excited to get the trophy with everybody's name on it. I'm more excited about their names than my name."
"Great. It's one of those things — whatever. It's out of our hands. We like all the guys that are there and they feel — Alex and I guess everybody else — feels that this is the best way to go about it. We're behind them. Our job is to go play." — Hill, asked about the changed to the coaching staff
"A great thing about Murph is he lets you be who you are and he works with that. He doesn't try to necessarily change who you are or change what you do. He just lets you be yourself and become as good as you can at what you do. So that'll be good, and the fact that I have a pretty long relationship and a decent personal relationship and things like that. It'll be fun to go down there and hear his comments every day in the batting cage." — Lind, asked about Dwayne Murphy being named the new hitting coach
"Our young starters, I think almost every GM has asked about them. Understandbly so. We'd like to keep all of them, but that being said, as I've told every other GM, if they have trade ideas and thoughts I'd like to hear them. I feel like any dialogue that we have, the more dialogue that we do have, an idea may come from it. That being said, we're very happy with our young starters. We'd like to keep them, but we certainly have to be open minded." — Anthopoulos, on trading young pitchers
"If you look at the B.J. Ryan contract, that was something that ownership allowed us to walk away from. I think it really comes down to, 'What does it get us in return? What is the opportunity for the club?' If we were to pay money on a contract, of course, at all costs you try to avoid it, but if that means that you're getting a player that the net value with having to pay some of the contract makes it a better move for the organization and strengthens the club, I think you have to be open to it." — Anthopoulos, on being willing to swallow part of a big contract in a trade
"What I feel very good about is, so far in the offseason, every player that has been talked about in a transaction, every trade that has been made, I've been aware of that player being available. In certain respects, I've been involved in some of those trade talks. I think that's really imperative for me going forward." — Anthopoulos
Center fielder Vernon Wells underwent surgery to repair cartilage damage inhis left wrist on Thursday in Scottsdale, Ariz., where Dr. Donald Sheridan performed the operation. A team official said the procedure went as planned and Wells is expected to be recovered and ready for Spring Training.
Here is the list of Blue Jays' players who are eligible for arbitration with service time and 2009 salary in parentheses: RHP Jeremy Accardo (3.171/$900K), INF/OF Jose Bautista (4.165/$2.4 million), RHP Shawn Camp (4.170/$750K), C Raul Chavez (5.074/$500K), RHP Jason Frasor (5.134/$1.45 million), RHP Casey Janssen (3.063/$413,900), RHP Brandon League (3.145/$640K), RHP Shaun Marcum (3.128/$405,200), RHP Dustin McGowan (3.113/$419,400), LHP Brian Tallet (4.146/$1.015 million).

I'd like to see Bautista let go. Mostly because I don't want to see Cito using him as often as he did this year.
I agree totally.
Let's face it, many of us do not agree with how Cito used the players. But I wish he had used Bautista more than he used Millar.
All I say about Bautista is I wish we'd never done the trade. I was against the trade when it was announced and still am. Robinson Diaz would look really good right now in a Blue Jays uniform. Diaz and Arencibia would have been a great tandem going forward behind the plate.
Bautista has too may flaws to be anything but a part time MLB player and hopefully not with us.
I realize that it may be necessary to keep some under-achieving veterans on the team (as we cannot trade them or release them). However, I would love to see some of the kids fill some of our bench positions. I know that young kids are suppose to play and not sit on the bench. However, at the same time, I think that some of our kids on the farm should have had a shot at the major-league level by now. Quite frankly, we are not going to win a thing next year, except, perhaps a top 5 first-round draft pick. Let's clean house with the marginal vets, like Bautista, and roll the dice with the kids. At least this way, we will be able to see the potential, even if it is not displayed consistently. Moreover, who knows, maybe we will discover a diamond in the rough.
All I say about Bautista is I wish we'd never done the trade. I was against the trade when it was announced and still am. Robinson Diaz would look really good right now in a Blue Jays uniform. Diaz and Arencibia would have been a great tandem going forward behind the plate.
Bautista has too may flaws to be anything but a part time MLB player and hopefully not with us. Thanks for this article dear. I really appreciate it guys.

Product Description
PDO Thread Lift nose is a very convenient and also effective cosmetic way. By inducing the collagen production, the threads can lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. The PDO nose thread lift is an absorbable Polydioxanone threads, similar to those used in medical suturing. By inserting the threads with small needles into the subcutaneous layer of the skin, these korean thread lift can stimulate collagen synthesis and tissue contraction. About six months later, the threads will be absorbed into the body and produce new collagen.
Magik Thread is a thread with no cones, so it is no damage to the tissue and it is very safe. Aging causes the skin tissue to be thin because the collagen and elastin fibers break down, which results in sagging skin, deep creases, folds and wrinkles. PDO Thread reverses the effects of aging.
At first make small 1-2mm incisions at various points on the face. And then insert the hollow needle into the skin to put the threads in place. Attach the thread to the fat underneath the skin, then be adjusted to tighten and smooth the contours of face. At last, trim the excess threads .
MAGIK Lift Series are made of PDO (Polydioxanone), it is a thread with no cones, thus no damage to the tissue. This is the same thread used in Cardiac and other surgeries as sutures, and thus it is very safe.
Aging causes the skin tissue to be thin because the collagen and elastin fibre`s break down, which results in sagging skin, deep creases, folds and wrinkles. PDO thread reverses the effects of aging.
Threads are implanted into the sub-dermal skin and stimulate the production of collagen and the skin becomes firmer, elastic and moisturised. The thread dissolves itself in couple of months but the effect last for 12- 18 months
The thread can be applied to anywhere on the body, such as a flabby face, cheeks, eyebrows, to prevent eye bags, sagging neck skin, fine lines around Cheeks, angle around the mouth, laugh lines, forearm and abdomen, smokers lines and lifting of breast.

Race and related grounds
Under the Code, every person has the right to be free from racial discrimination and harassment in the social areas of employment, services, goods, facilities, housing accommodation, contracts and membership in trade and vocational associations. You should not be treated differently because of your race or other related grounds, such as your ancestry, ethnicity, religion or place of origin.
Canada, its provinces and territories have strong human rights laws and systems in place to address discrimination. At the same time, we also have a legacy of racism – particularly towards Indigenous persons, but to other groups as well including African, Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, Jewish and Muslim Canadians – a legacy that profoundly permeates our systems and structures to this day, affecting the lives of not only racialized persons, but also all people in Canada.
Relevant policies:
May 2010 - This document is a "how-to" guide. It gives municipalities directions on how they can start or improve anti-racism and anti-discrimination initiatives. This manual focuses on small and medium-size municipalities but any municipality, large or small, should find it useful.
CMARD Booklet: Call for coalition of municipalities against racism and racial discrimination
2006 - The Canadian Commission for UNESCO is inviting municipalities from across Canada to join a Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination and be part of a larger international coalition being promoted by UNESCO. This booklet provides information that will be useful in understanding some of the important details of this Coalition.
Human Rights settlement reached with Ministry of Education on Safe Schools
The Ontario Human Rights Commission and the Ontario Ministry of Education have finalized a settlement of a human rights complaint initiated by the Commission against the Ministry and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) in July 2005. A settlement was reached separately with the TDSB in November 2005.
Human Rights settlement reached with Ministry of Education on Safe Schools - Terms of settlement
WHEREAS on July 7, 2005, the OHRC initiated a complaint, number GKEA-6DUH6W, pursuant to subsection 32(2) of the Human Rights Code in the public interest and on behalf of racialized students and students with disabilities alleging that the application of the safe schools provisions of the Education Act and the Ministry's and school boards' policies on discipline are having a disproportionate impact on racial minority students and students with disabilities. NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree to settle these matters as follows:
Indigenous Peoples in Ontario and the Ontario Human Rights Code (brochure)
2015 - The Ontario Human Rights Code is a provincial law that gives everybody the right to be free from discrimination in five parts of society – called social areas – based on one or more grounds. The five social areas are: employment, housing, services and facilities (such as education, health care, police, government, shops or restaurants), unions and vocational associations, and contracts or agreements.
Racial discrimination (brochure)
2012 - The Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code) provides for equal rights and opportunities, and freedom from discrimination. The Code recognizes the dignity and worth of every person in Ontario. It applies to the areas of employment, housing, facilities and services, contracts, and membership in unions, trade or vocational associations. Under the Code, every person has the right to be free from racial discrimination and harassment.
Racial harassment: know your rights (brochure)
2012 - Racial harassment may be based on a combination of any of the above characteristics. It may also be because of things related to them, such as if you wear clothing related to your background, speak with an accent or practice a certain religion. It is against the law for anyone to harass you, insult you, or treat you unfairly for any of these reasons.
Removing the "Canadian experience" barrier (brochure)
Some employers ask people applying for jobs if they have "Canadian experience." That can make it much harder for people new to Canada to find work. Some "regulatory bodies" (such as the professional associations for accountants or doctors) also ask for Canadian experience.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) believes that asking for Canadian experience can result in discrimination. Employers and regulatory bodies should always have to show why Canadian experience is needed.
Removing the "Canadian experience" barrier – A guide for employers and regulatory bodies
July 2013 - When an employer requires people applying for jobs to have "Canadian experience," or where a regulatory body requires "Canadian experience" before someone can get accredited, they may create barriers for newcomers to Canada. Requiring "Canadian experience" could violate the Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code), which protects people from discrimination based on grounds such as race, ancestry, colour, place of origin and ethnic origin.
TTC agrees to survey racial background of employees to monitor equity in hiring and promotion
April 2006 - The settlement sets out the following commitments:

Magician Dinged For Copyright Infringement For Doing The Same Trick
from the nothing-up-my-sleeve deptA few years back, we wrote about how the magic industry was an example of a creative industry that thrived without intellectual property protection. As we noted at the time:
The magic community uses social norms to reward those who discover new magic tricks and punishes those who disclose them to non-magicians. Because magicians rely so much on their professional network of other magicians to learn about new tricks, new equipment, and new performance opportunities, maintaining a good reputation within the magic community is essential to the career of a successful magician. A magician who uses another magician's trick without giving the originator proper credit, or who reveals secrets to non-magicians, is shunned by other magicians. That kind of ostracism can be a much better (not to mention cheaper) way of disciplining wayward members than getting the lawyers involved.But in this age where the maximalists of the world seem to think that everything creative must involve copyright, apparently that's changing. A recent legal dispute in the Netherlands has ended with a magician having to pay $16,725 to another magician for doing the same trick. The magician argued that there was no "secret" in the trick and that lots of other magicians did the same thing, but the court said it was infringing.

|Common Name:
|Brazilian Black and White
|Year of Discovery:
|Tarantula World:
|New World
Their Natural Habitat:
|Tropical forests and savannahs of Paraguay and Brazil. These are a burrowing species that becomes bolder with size/age. In the wild, they can be found in abandoned termite mounds.
|Please note that individuals can vary in temperament widely. This species is noted for being particularly defensive, readily throwing a threat display and flicking is particularly irritating urticating hairs. That said, they are typically calmer than N. chormatus and more likely to flee than give a threat pose. They are likely the calmest of the Nhandus. In my experience, I have found these and Nhandus in general to be highly skittish and panicky, scampering for cover if they can find it. I have also found that they DO calm down with some work, and my last big girl would sit with me quietly.
|I have found these to grow quite fast. They are tiny slings at 3/8at 2nd instar. My first big girl grew from 3" to close to 7 diagonal leg span within two years. 5.5 to 7 is the normal size they attain. That said, I do have a friend (pet store owner) with a solid, 8" girl who is very gentle and laid back.
Experience Level:
|These are an intermediate level tarantula as there are particularly defensive, fiesty, or skittish. The can move quite fast if they are panicked. They readily flee and kick hairs. Their hairs are particularly irritating as well.
|These tropical spiders do well with warmer temps. 78-82o F during the day, 68-72o F at night.
|80% humidity during most of the year. They have a dry season in their native lands of around 60%.
|As a larger terrestrial species, these do well with some space. 10-gallon tanks should be adequate. A fall from even a short distance could be fatal, so keep the distance from the top of the enclosure to the substrate no more than 1.5 times the diagonal leg span of the spider (9inches). The extra substrate needed for this precaution provides them with opportunity to dig burrows as well.
|Eco Earth (coconut husk). You may make a mix of Vermiculite and Eco Earth (75/25). From my experience, Peat Moss does cultivate molds very easily, and thus would not be recommended for this species. Avoid any Evergreen woods (Cypress, Reptile Bark) inside of the enclosure. Evergreen woods contain natural insecticidal oils that can harm your tarantula if exposed long enough. Isopods (rolly-polies, or pillbugs) are a good cleaner to keep in the substrate that will help reduce the risk of mold. Molds can also be inhibited by allowing the substrate to dry out completely (just keep the water dish filled). But isopods require moist environments, so do not dry it out if you keep them in the tank.
|Crickets, meal worms, wax worms, superworms, Blaptica dubia or Blatta lateralis roaches. Please do not offer wild caught prey, as it may contain pesticides (and potential parasites) which can harm or kill your tarantula. Also never feed your tarantula kingworms (giant mealworms) as these are mealworms that have been fed juvenile growth hormones to prevent them from maturing so they grow bigger. JGH are a common insecticide and would not be good for your invertebrate tarantula! (I received this from a personal conversation with a cricket/worm breeder near me). Furthermore, online information often recommends feeding larger tarantulas an occasional baby mouse (i.e. pinky); this is not recommended here on the grounds that the extra calcium can be harmful to their exoskeletons.
Nhandu coloratovillosus is a voracious feeder and fun to watch eat. If given the opportunity, they will try to stuff as many crickets into their fangs as they can. They seem to love to eat. Yet my experience (and that of others here) are that their appetites drop off once they mature.
|Make sure to offer a water bowl, the size should be half the size of the species. Do not use any sponges, cotton balls or paper towel (as these are breeding grounds for bacteria) or water crystals inside of water bowl, just clean water. Small rocks may be added. If possible, mount the bowl higher in the tank rather than sitting it on the floor. Clean the water bowl once a week or when you feel it is necessary, as these love to deficate in their water. Crickets or roaches may end up dead in the water, in which case you should clean it right away. Spiderlings are too small to have a water bowl, misting one side of the enclosure wall 1-2 times aweek, should be plenty enough. Your tarantula may often fill the dish with substrate, or even poop in it (these seem to love to do this), but continue to provide clean water. Also I periodically wet the substrate, allowing that to dry out completely to prevent mold growth.
Maturity/Longevity Female:
|Females may take 2-5 years to mature, and live for up to 15 years. Increasing factors such as temperature and feeding schedule can shorten these times.
Maturity/ Longevity Male/ Tibial Apophysis:
|Yes, males have tibial apophysis. They may take 1.5-3 years to mature and live less than a year after maturing. Increasing factors such as temperature and feeding schedule can shorten these times.
Communal Setup:
|No. These are not communal at all. Do not attempt to house these together unless breeding a male and female, and then, keep a close eye on them as she can be particularly aggressive towards him.
Color Markings:
|A most striking spider with a velvety black base, creamy white knees and joints, dark carapace lined with that same creamy white, chelicerae of that same white. Brick red highlight setae on the abdomen and legs, giving a shaggy pink appearance. These are most striking as black and white when juveniles, but grow less contrasted and almost lose their knee pads when older, having an over all dark pink shag.
Special Note:
|The Nhandu coloratovillosus is a hardy species, yet entertaining and strikingly beautiful tarantula. As they are one of the most prolific reproducing tarantluas in the hobby (with sacs from up to 1,000 spiderlings) their supply is rarely lacking in the hobby. As such, they are not particularly expensive.
Make sure never to keep a Tarantula enclosure directly in the sun. No light is necessary for your Tarantulas habitat. Natural lighting is perfectly fine. Nhandus seem particularly panicky in direct sunlight, seeking shade as fast as they can find it.
Read more about them on our fan club page:
CITES List
|These are not on the CITES II list (as far as I can see), but captive-bred specimens are available.

Octopus loves living on the busy reef under the sea. From her cozy cave, she can see clown fish, and sea turtles, and little butterflies swimming by. She especially loves watching the seahorses having fun, wiggling and twirling. Sometimes she will play with them, but occasionally Octopus just wants to be alone, somewhere quiet, and not so busy. So one day, she swims far, far beyond the reef and finds another cozy cave, only here she is perfectly, wonderfully alone. It is exactly what she wanted . . . until she's ready to go back home to be with her friends.
As she did in Little Owl's Night, Divya Srinivasan shows children a wonderful part of the natural world in a very warm-hearted way.
