The likely closure of Towson Catholic High School is heartbreaking for the affected students and the entire community. Sadly, though, this is just the latest episode in the ongoing tragedy of urban Catholic education.
For decades, Catholic schools in American cities have been disappearing, but in recent years the pace has accelerated rapidly. In the last decade alone, more than 1,000 Catholic schools nationwide have closed their doors for the last time. The Archdiocese of Baltimore has lost 13 schools since 1998 (including both archdiocese-run and, like Towson Catholic, non-archdiocese-run schools).
These losses are particularly painful in our inner cities. A century ago, waves of European immigrants settled in urban America and started parishes and schools. These schools helped countless disadvantaged children escape poverty and enter the middle class. As these families gradually left for the suburbs, the schools stayed behind, serving the next generations of poor urban students, mainly African-American and Latino - and often non-Catholic - boys and girls.
But with fewer parishioners and donations, the affiliated churches have become less able to support their schools, and many of their students are unable to afford the full price of tuition. For these and other reasons, urban Catholic schools find themselves financially unsustainable, and this economic downturn has only made matters worse.
Although these are religiously affiliated schools, we all should care about this phenomenon for two reasons. First, as a general rule, we should love all schools that educate students well. This is doubly true in our cities. Given the paucity of great schools in urban America, we don't have the luxury of discriminating based on provider. A great school of any type should be preserved.
Second, a significant body of research has found that Catholic schools have a remarkable ability to benefit low-income and minority students. When Catholic schools close the achievement gap, they help solve one of America's most stubborn educational, social justice and civil rights challenges.
Two things should be done. The first is symbolic. We need the state's top officials to step forward. Ideally, Gov. Martin O'Malley, himself a product of Catholic education, flanked by the state superintendent of schools, the Baltimore schools CEO and others, should make clear that Maryland supports all great schools, and that the closure of any of these - Catholic or otherwise - is a loss for the state.
This would not represent narrow state support for religious schools; on the contrary, it would demonstrate our leaders' agnosticism about who operates a school. It would show that they equally support all excellent schools - traditional public, charter public, secular private and faith-based - especially when they help our most at-risk children.
The second change is legislative. For several years, an innovative scholarship tax credit bill called BOAST (Building Opportunities for All Students and Teachers) has nearly been passed by the General Assembly. It would provide tax credits to corporations that make charitable donations to scholarship-granting organizations. If passed, this bill would have three major benefits. It would provide much-needed assistance to disadvantaged students seeking a high-quality education. It would provide a reliable stream of tuition income to financially struggling private schools. And it would avoid the ideological battles associated with vouchers because funding is coming from private sources, not the state.
Similar legislation exists in many states, including Pennsylvania, Indiana and Florida. These laws have helped educate needy children and preserve schools. Moreover, they have helped their states' public education budgets: When private schools close, public schools often absorb the displaced students, which leads to greater costs for local and state governments.
Adopting the posture and legislation advocated above merely extends to K-12 education the same understanding that has allowed the use of GI Bill benefits and Pell Grants to attend religiously affiliated universities. Neither requires abandoning or disparaging public education. (I've used these pages numerous times to support public school efforts under way in Baltimore.)
In the long term, these strategies will help ensure that more of Baltimore's students have access to high-quality schools. In the short term, they will help us avoid the sad sight of hundreds of young people deprived of a school like Towson Catholic that was serving them well.
Andy Smarick served as U.S. deputy assistant secretary of education and on the Maryland Governor's Commission on Quality Education. He is an adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a distinguished visiting fellow at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. His e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Apple's data privacy standoff proposal
Apple wants the U.S. government to form a commission on encryption issues. Bobbi Rebell reports.
Apple not backing down on its stance to protect customers' data. The iPhone maker urging the creation of a government panel on encryption issues to help resolve a standoff over data privacy and national security. "Apple would gladly participate in such an effort," the company wrote on its website Monday. Apple has been refusing a government demand to unlock an iPhone linked to one of the killers in the mass shooting in San Bernadino, California in December. Forrester Research's John Kindervag: SOUNDBITE: JOHN KINDERVAG, VICE PRESIDENT, PRINCIPAL ANALYST, SECURITY & RISK, FORRESTER RESEARCH (ENGLISH) SAYING: "I think the commission is a bit of a redirection to make Apple seem like they want to be cooperative while at the same time I don't think there is any way that Apple will adhere to this without this going to the Supreme court. " Cook also made it clear the company's stance is about broader issues, saying in an email to employees: "At stake is the data security of hundreds of millions of law-abiding people, and setting a dangerous precedent that threatens everyone's civil liberties." Apple faces new opposition. Reuters has learned that some victims of the San Bernadino attack will file a legal brief backing the U.S. government's efforts to force Apple to unlock the iPhone of one of the shooters.

Would you measure a pitcher of water with a tape measure? You could, but it probably wouldn't tell you much because a tape measure isn't designed to measure volume.

- 7 band sizes to ensure more accurate sizing and a comfortable fit

- 275 size and style combinations

As the intro to the show suggests, tonight's edition of Raw is all about one thing - Shawn Michaels versus Chris Benoit, one-on-one (hopefully) for the world heavyweight title. One figures there will be a few other matches as well, just so the two top faces don't have to go at it for two hours. Not that it would be a bad thing if it were these two particular gentlemen. Anyway, on with the show, live from the America West Arena.
Match 1 - Evolution (Randy Orton, Batista and Triple H) vs. Shelton Benjamin, Tajiri and Edge
That answers my question right away. Shelton starts things off against Triple H, who, we might remind you, he's already beaten twice in his short time here on Raw. Wait, Trips lets Randy Orton lead off instead. Fair enough. All six men get a chance to work early, with Batista getting the first near fall using a running powerslam (shades of the British Bulldog) on Edge. Evolution plays the numbers game, paying special attention to Edge's injured hand. Triple H hits his facebuster, forcing Benjamin to make the save; a spinning heel kick finally allows Edge to tag out to Tajiri. A handspring back elbow and a cool looking DDT have the Japanese Buzzsaw looking good, but he goes to the well again for the handspring and Batista makes him pay with a shot to the back. Commercial time. We return to no submission hold (for once) but Orton dropkicking Tajiri for a near fall. Tajiri finds himself fending off attacks from all of Evolution until he finally escapes a failed sunset flip attempt
and drops Triple H with a stiff kick. The hot tag is made to Edge, setting up a wild closing sequence. Benjamin hits his leaping move in the corner, then dumps Batista out to the floor. A kick from Tajiri interrupts an attempt for an RKO, then Orton backdrops Edge to the outside. Batista returns to go for his power bomb finisher on Tajiri, but the green mist puts a stop to that. Edge hits the spear on Orton - who I guess is the legal man after all this - and gets the three count for the good guys.
Backstage, The Coach and new best buddy Garrison Cade rip on the women of Phoenix. Someone stops by who disagrees - and he just happens to be the Chairman of the Board, Vince McMahon. The boss is here to see the main event, and he sounds pretty psyched. Yeah, sell it Vince, sell it. After the Smackdown Rebound, Triple H and the rest of Evolution whine to Eric Bischoff about their treatment in the opening match. The GM gives them all singles matches next week: Batista against Tajiri, Triple H against Benjamin and Orton against Edge. Hey, usually the writers would follow three singles matches with a six-man the next week, so reversing things is creative for them. In any case, Orton has to put up his Intercontinental strap in his bout, and he looks none too pleased.
Match 2 - Rob Conway vs. The Hurricane
Sadly, The Hurricane has been reduced to a rest stop on the road to the Rob Conway-Eugene match next week. He starts out quickly with a schoolboy for two, but it's pretty much all Conway the rest of the way. A hotshot leaves Hurricane strung out on the top rope, where Conway hits his "roll the dice" type finisher to get the pin. The La Resistance member can't resist grabbing the stick to mock Eugene a little bit too. Something tells me he'll pay for that.
The next two items on the show are a Tale of the Tape for the main event and a recap of the Kane-Lita stalker angle. One is pretty cool, the other is creepy. I'll let you figure out which is which.
Match 3 - Kane vs. Steven Richards
A squash like this takes me back to the days of watching WWF Superstars on USA on the weekends. Kane ends things quickly with a big boot and a chokeslam, then sprints to the back. Guess he has a hot date. Get it? I kill me.
Y2J heads to the ring for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel, and even he does his part to sell the main event. But there's another motive too, and that's to discuss how long it's been since he got a shot at the world title. He challenges the winner of tonight's match, then welcomes his guest for tonight, Matt Hardy. Lita's former flame comes down to discuss their current situation, and he has something to say to Lita personally. She appears on the Titan Tron instead, saying she never wants to see Hardy again, but she's in obvious duress. Or maybe it's just her lousy acting skills. Nope, it's duress alright, as Kane's ugly smiling mug appears and we see that she's tied up in the basement with the Big Red Machine. After a moment to say his prayers, Hardy rushes off to rescue her. Jericho is speechless, but not for long as Christian, Trish Stratus and Tyson Tomko come to the stage. Gloating about Trish (again), Christian sends his problem solver to the ring. Jericho fends him off
for a second, but Christian lends a hand and Tomko gets in a big kick to the face. Jericho's lack of friends comes back to haunt him as no one comes to his aid, allowing Trish to slap him and Christian to hit the Unprettier. And in case you were wondering, Hardy reaches Lita backstage and prevents any more kisses involving Kane. Thank goodness.
Match 4 - Gail Kim vs. Victoria
SLAM! Wrestling Smackdown reporter Dale Plummer insists Kim had some, ahem, work done during her last absence. I'm not so sure. In any event, things are pretty even until Victoria is thrown to the outside, where Molly Holly and her wig are waiting to interfere. Kim follows up in the ring with a dragon sleeper, a clothesline and a series of kicks. Victoria escapes a second dragon sleeper for a short rally, but Kim finally succeeds in executing her headscissors/armbar combo submission. The women's champ is forced to tap out, leaving me pondering this question: shouldn't someone who beats the champ in a non-title bout automatically become the number one contender. I think so.
Because you demanded it, we go to a training video detailing William Regal's attempt to get Eugene ready for his debut match next Monday. Regal muses that he figures this will be his chance to get rid of Eugene for good. Anyone else think Regal's involvement is the only good thing about this angle? He's hilarious. After a commercial, Regal kicks the training into high gear. And wouldn't you know it - Eugene can actually wrestle. I never saw that one coming. Ooohh... the use of that much sarcasm at one time actually made me woozy.
A rundown of next week's card has me momentarily confused. Are we pushing a pay-per-view? I shouldn't complain, as it's actually nice to see the WWE push each show as if there's a compelling reason to watch. Bischoff and Johnny Nitro come out to announce another match for next week pitting Christian against Chris Jericho. Just as I'm about to yell, "Again?" Bischoff reveals that it will be a Steel Cage Match. Okay, that's cool.
Main Event - Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit - World Heavyweight Title Match
It's been hard to focus so far knowing my beloved Detroit Red Wings are probably going down in flames (pun intended) on ESPN, but it's time to get down to business for a very worthy main event. The early action features lock-ups and mat wrestling, with HBK establishing command with a shoulderblock, a headlock takedown and some chops. Benoit gets his feet up in the corner and hits a colothesline and a back body drop, then he takes Michaels out to the floor. Michaels is hit on his way back in and the champ uses a snap suplex and a backbreaker to earn a near fall. HBK fires right back with a swinging neckbreaker, an elbowdrop and a flying forearm. He nips up and tries an inverted atomic drop, but Benoit counters and looks for the Crippler Crossface twice to no avail. Both men are down as we catch our breath with a commercial. This time it is a submission when we come back, though Benoit quickly hip tosses his way out of an abdominal stretch. Michaels dodges an elbow, hitting a
suplex and covering to force the champ to grab the ropes. The challenger goes to work on Benoit's back, using a hard Irish whip and a back suplex for more two counts. Benoit rallies with a surprise inside cradle for two of his own, following with a backslide and an Oklahoma roll. Still no dice. HBK drops Benoit with a clothesline and goes up top to hit his big flying elbow. The band is warmed up but Benoit ducks and hits three, make that four German suplexes. He goes up top for the flying headbutt, but Michaels rolls away. He crawls over and covers but only gets two once again. Michaels climbs the turnbuckles again, where he's met by Benoit and chopped and kicked off his perch. The champ tries to suplex him in off the apron, but he blocks it and reverses it to send Benoit to the floor. Ouch. Michaels climbs yet again and hits a moonsault to the floor, making me mark out in the process. He hurls Benoit into the steps in a sequence that's strictly for the ladies - Benoit grabs the
back of his trunks and exposes his backside. Crap, another commercial. Michaels scores a couple more near falls; Benoit responds with a bridging German suplex for two. Michaels shakes it off and does his own version of Jericho's Walls; the champ looks like he's in trouble but he flips over and inches his way to the ropes. A second later the tables are turned with a Crippler Crossface, but HBK escapes the hold twice by getting his feet to the ropes. Time for Sweet Chin Music? Nope, as Benoit catches the incoming foot and flips Michaels over into the Sharpshooter. HBK grabs the ropes and kicks Benoit off, taking down the ref in the process. Sweet Chin Music connects this time and everyone is down. As Michaels crawls over, a wonderful match is suddenly jolted back to reality by Triple H, who runs in to Pedigree Michaels. The ref and Benoit both revive, and the Wolverine drapes an arm over his downed foe to get the three count. Even with the ending, that was worth the price of admission. Hope we can say the same next week.
Nick Tylwalk has been a SLAM! Wrestling contributor since 1998. A heart ailment that kept him out of action last week didn't get any better when the Red Wings were eliminated last night by Calgary. Send condolences to firstname.lastname@example.com.

reviewed by John W. Herbert
These legendary albums, both recorded during the filming of the original Star Trek in the late 1960s, have been recently reissued on CD by Varese Sarabande Records. (Please don't send them hate mail. They put out some good stuff, too.) It goes without saying that William Shatner's versions of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" are the stuff that nightmares legends are made of (if John Lennon wasn't already dead, listening to this would probably kill him), but when one listens to all of The Transformed Man, one gets the sense that Shatner is at least trying to make a statement of some kind. It's a shame no one, probably including Shatner, knows just what the hell it is. Shatner recites some poetry and text pieces (including three Shakespeare pieces) against orchestral backdrops, which mysteriously segue into spoken-word versions of 1960s pop songs. Some of the text pieces are nearly effective, and the liner notes claim that the pieces are thematically linked. Yeah, right. But at least give Shatner credit for trying something different, and for not attempting to actually sing.
Leonard Nimoy, on the other hand, has no excuse. He does sing, and the results are even more excruciating than Shatner smarming his way through "It Was a Very Good Year." Shatner's album is at least funny (in the Ed Wood sense), whereas Nimoy's album is just painful (in the Irwin Allen sense). His album consists of lame instrumentals, terrible readings, and actual singing (only in the strictest of definitions). While both albums are examples of commercialism at its most crass, Nimoy goes a step further than Shatner by prostituting the Spock character by his performing some truly hideous Spockian soliloquies. And sadly, although some bonus tracks are included, Nimoy's "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" is does not appear in this collection of songs (and I'm using the word loosely).
If you, like me, are a fan of "it's so bad, it's good" stuff, then the Shatner CD is must. Nimoy's is just painful.

I know, I know, I have gotten off to a truly horrible start this season when it comes to blogging. But to be fair, I've been writing/re-writing/defending my thesis and I just haven't had any time.
That all ends now. I am officially done with grad school after this weekend and I can put my full attention where it belongs: Royals baseball.
I've missed so many opportunities for hilarious posts. So allow me to completely misuse the entire purpose of the internet by posting old news as if it were really happening now!
Royals Reliever Joel Peralta was hospitalized for two days with a stomach virus. No, it wasn't the flu. JP admitted it was food poisoning from eating a cow's tail.
I can't blame him. Worst. Candy. Ever.
You mean he ate a real cow's tail?
One of these?
But I have a theory on why Joel Peralta ate something that is essentially a fly swatter ass attachment.
Brace yourselves...
It's a sex thing. You know, like bathing in koala piss or snorting ground-up rhino horn.
You know how I know?
His Myspace Page.
Go ahead. Click on the link. You can come back and read the rest of this after you've looked at all of his animated gifs of stick figures screwing.
Go on.
You're back?
So I'll go ahead and state the obvious: dude is obsessed with diddling. Which can mean only one thing: dude probably doesn't get much diddling.
Which can only add to his stress since he's in the Royals bullpen.
What can he do? Hell, eating a cow's tail has to be easier than telling the ladies he plays for the Royals.
That come-on line hasn't been a valid aphrodisiac since the mid-80's. You know, when George Brett was dining on his own cow tail:
Where have you gone Morganna, the Kissing Bandit? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. (Woo woo woo.)
Go Royals! You're the Best!

K&L Photography
Photography started as a hobby and has grown into a small business. Specialize in kids and families as well as sports photography. In the midwest and offer the same great quality as much more expensive photographers at a fraction of the cost.
Families and schools and people who want fantastic quality photos of their family but don't want to spend a fortune. People who enjoy candid shots rather than stiffly posed portraits. Casually elegant families.
I want a clean, professional looking logo possibly using the company name K&L Photography in stylized lettering but that is not a requirement. Rich looking blues, greens and grays and no bright colors. I'm looking for a subtle, sophisticated casually elegant logo for use on my website and stationary. It doesn't need to pop off the page but should be distinctive. I've attached my current boring letterhead as an example of what I currently have. I like the navy blue and the script lettering but would like a snazzy logo to go with it.

The original Sleeping Beauty ballet was premiered at the Maryinsky Theatre in St Petersburg on 16th January 1890 with music composed by Tchaikovsky and Marius Petipa's choreography.
English Youth Ballet's production has been updated from the original production and is set in the year 1896. When Aurora pricks her finger on her sixteenth birthday in 1912, instead of the original woodland and nymphs vision scene she is innovatively put in a cryogenic state, taken to the Arctic, looked after by the Cryonites (ice fairies) and later discovered by a royal artic explorer.
At the Christening we have the Duke and Duchess instead of the King and Queen; Relations, Friends and Guests instead of Fairies, and the good Aunt lilac as the sister of the Duchess. Aunt Carabosse is the uninvited nasty relation. However both characters retain their magic powers.
In Act 1 we have sewing needles instead of the traditional spinning wheel. The famous 'Rose Adage' is danced as Aurora's vision of her future prince, linking in with Act 2 in which Aunt lilac shows the Prince his vision of Aurora.
At the Christening Aunt Lilac wisely retains her gift to the baby managing to use it by over-riding Carabosse's evil predictions, finally to confront her and together with the Cryonites put her to death.
The Duke and Duchess host the wedding celebrations by presenting a divertissements of dances in honour of Aurora and her Prince.

Get to Know Diablo 3's Final Class: The Demon Hunter
BlizzCon's going on right now and this year it's all about Diablo 3 and World of WarCraft's upcoming world-changing Cataclysm expansion. Regarding the former we've seen a few of the classes detailed so far including the Witch Doctor, Monk, Barbarian and Wizard that bring with them old school Diablo vibes mixed with something a little new.
The Demon Hunter looks like a fusion of Diablo II's Amazon and Assassin classes, since she uses long ranged projectile attacks mixed with what look like traps and shadow skills. I loved the Assassin back in the day so this may very well end up being my favorite character. I'll let you decide for yourself after you check out the very cool reveal trailer, after the jump.
"As long as I'm here, they are the prey and I am the hunter." Oh, ms. Demon Hunter, how I love you so.

text: 4/7/2017 Version 14.1 About the Author Wild, Wild West Written by Nate Chapnick 4/7/2017 Version 14.1 Justin Lafferty shows love for his home state of Wyoming with his WRX STi. Discipline, honor, loyalty: Serving as a Marine is often a life-shaping event for those who enlist, but, for Justin Lafferty, joining the Corps would also lead to his love for Subaru. The Wyoming native caught the Subaru mod bug back in 2000 when he was stationed in Okinawa. At the time, he was driving a Nissan Skyline – but what really caught his eye was his platoon mate's GC8. "The fact that I thought his Subaru was crazy fast and I was driving a Nissan Skyline should tell you how impressive his GC8 was," says Lafferty. Former Marine Justin Lafferty and his 2005 Subaru WRX STi. Lafferty found the WRX STi to be the perfect car for his extensive mods. Fast-forward 12 years and he is the proud owner of a one-off, 470-hp 2005 WRX STi. "For me, the idea of modifying is all about pushing the envelope," he says. And, according to him, there's no better car than a Subaru to pursue this passion. "I have some friends who modify German vehicles, but they're crazy expensive and they don't have the reliability and daily drivability of a Subaru." For me, the idea of modifying is all about pushing the envelope. While Lafferty says Subaru "gives you the perfect canvas to explore performance driving without breaking the bank," it still took a dedicated team of enthusiasts to bring his mods to life. "If it weren't for our local Subaru retailer, White's Mountain Subaru, and Joseph Tipton, a senior master technician there, I definitely couldn't have done it," says Lafferty, the manager of Mountain Sports, a bike shop in Casper, Wyoming. After hours, White's Mountain Subaru lets Simply Subie club members go back and work on their cars. "It really creates a sense of passion for the brand and, most importantly, makes it possible to complete our mods," says Lafferty. Laferty describes his Rex's wrap as "urban camouflage." From a distance, you see purple shades and lime-green wheels – up close, skulls and a raised fist. Making a big first impression on the Rex? Its standout wrap. A tribute to Lafferty's home state of Wyoming, it was designed by one of his best friends, Trevor Wroble, of Desh Graphics. "A lot of people don't even know Wyoming is a state," Lafferty says. "So the 307 that you see on the side of the car is our area code – it's the same area code no matter where you live in Wyoming." Also noticeable is a purple raised fist, signifying the evolution of the sports car industry. "Back up 30 years and people were into GTOs and Chevelles; then in the 1990s it was Hondas and Eclipses; now it's all about the Subie." If you look close enough, you'll also see a slightly edgier theme in the car's design – a variety of subtle skulls. "The car is almost a rolling illusion," says Lafferty. "It poses as soft and fluffy, and then when you look closer you see the skulls and notice the giant hood scoop. The closer you look, the more you realize this isn't a car you want to mess with!" The closer you look, the more you realize this isn't a car you want to mess with! For tuning, Lafferty turned to Soulless Performance's Travis Cooke. Cooke's mods include an AEM 320 fuel pump, AEM fuel pressure regulator, ID1000 injectors, Eagle rods and JE Pistons, TVG delete, a Cavalli Stage 3 Turbo, COBB ST Intake, Gimmick Motorsports front-mounted intercooler, Tomei unequal length header and up pipe, ACT clutch and a Kartboy short-throw shifter – to name a few! Lafferty's brother, Brent Ramsey, also custom-fabricated a one-off through-flow dual exhaust, which means this is one wickedly loud Subie. "Let's just say cold starts are pretty epic," says Lafferty. White's Mountain Subaru Senior Master Technician Joseph Tipton and Technician Jeff Deluna helped push the WRX STi to 470 horsepower. No journey is without its challenges, and one of Lafferty's biggest was undoing a few mod attempts made by the previous owner. "We had to tear a lot of that stuff off to get it ready," he says. Budgeting also required some thought, but, for Lafferty, following his dream of working in a field he loves makes it all worth it. "When I chose my passion as my occupation, I knew I wouldn't be making crazy money, so I have to be pretty careful with what I take on so I can complete [the WRX] to the performance level I want to achieve," he says. Not surprisingly, Lafferty's WRX STi has a roof rack that gets near-constant use. "Depending on the season, you'll always see one of my bikes on the roof," he says. "In the winter it's my cargo box with my board so I'm always ready for the freshest powder." With Subaru All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and dedicated winter treads, this WRX STi is as unstoppable as the Marine who built it. Since this story was printed in Drive Performance magazine, Justin Lafferty wasted no time in updating the engine on his WRX STi. Here is a list of his latest additions to the vehicle: Stock STi crankshaft ID1000 injectors Perrin fuel rails COBB 4-bar MAP sensor Speed Density Tune from Travis Cooke at Soulless Performance GrimmSpeed electronic boost solenoid (EBS) COBB ST Intake COBB Accessport (AP) COBB stainless, exhaust to axle Custom dual exhaust axle back DGR adjustable coilovers Front and rear tower bars Lower frame brace BBS stock wheels with spacers and Hercules® Avalanche® X-Treme 235/45R17 tires (Winter) ESR SR06 18 x 10.5 wheels offset +22 and Nitto® NT555 G2 245/40ZR18 tires (Summer) Have or know of a great Subie mod?

The Subaru Limited Warranty, as well as the Subaru Added Security program, may exclude damage or failure resulting from modifications or participation in competition or racing events.

My Kiki turned four yesterday! We were going to our moms group on her actual birthday and we wanted to bring a treat to share that we know everyone would be able to eat! Most of the children in the group are younger so I wanted the treat to be small, cute, and Gluten & PB Free!
The solution I came up with was SOOOO simple!
They only take about 15 minutes to make AND that's with a child helper!
Here is what you will need:
- 3 Tablespoons of butter(or substitute)
- a package of marshmallows
- 6 cups of Gluten Free Rice Krispys (you can use regular too!)
- Candiquik (white melting chocolate)
- Sprinkles
- Candy to make a "cherry" on top. You could use jelly beans, sixlets, gum balls, m&m's, etc.
- Mini cupcake paper wrappers
Just follow the instructions HERE to make original Rice Krispy Treats.
Then get your hands a little wet with cold water so the mix wont stick.
Form into small balls that fit your cupcake wrappers.
Melt your chocolate in the microwave. It's very important that you don't over cook the chocolate! Every 15 seconds, pull it out and stir till desired consistency.
Then simply dip the top in your chocolate. We added one drop of red food coloring to make it pink.
Then immediately add your sprinkles and "Cherry"!
They will stay good for a few days covered on your counter but best served that day or the next!
Another SIMPLE treat we made to share with other friends were these cute marshmallow pops!
Same idea as the rice krispy treats but just with a marshmallow on a cake pop stick!
These literally take at the most five minutes to make! You just need a piece of foam to stick the sticks in to let the chocolate dry!
Here is our Halloween version!
My kids LOVE Candy Corn!!!!!
You could also leave out the stick and just put the decorated marshmallow into a small cupcake wrapper for a different look!
By the way, I JUST started a Facebook Page for my blog! I would LOVE it if you would support me by "liking" my page!!!!
HERE is the link!

1. Salomon – XR Mission
This is Cassie's choice shoe. A very comfortable shoe that can lead you to explore the urban jungle and without hesitation will lead you off the beaten path to the top of your next mountain.
2. ExOfficcio – Give 'n' Go Underwear
The low-down on Exofficio is that you can actually go "6 weeks with only one pair of underwear. Okay maybe two." You may feel disgusted by this initially and that is normal. How can I make my 2 month trip in europe with only two pair of underwear? This is how it works. When you take your shower at the end of the day, bring your underwear in there with you. Wring them with some soap as you are cleansing yourself. Rinse and let them dry over night. They will dry very quickly too by the way. If you keep this rotation going, you will only need two pair of underwear. Save space!
3. Arc'teryx – Phase AR Zip Neck
Th Phase AR Zip Neck is a three season base-layer. You can use this lay for ski season or for your morning jogs in fall. A cool day in spring when you need a good layer to keep you warm in the morning and cool when the sun comes out. The Phase AR will move moisture off of your skin onto the garment and into the atmosphere. It is a midweight layer.
4. Sea-to-Summit – Cool Max Adaptor Liner w/ Insect Shield
The cool thing about this liner is that you can use it as a sleeping bag. In Texas, any sleeping bag rated for 40 degrees is going to be a furnace for three seasons out of the year. If you have ever lived in Texas, you know we really only have two seasons. Ten months of summer and two months of fall, winter, and spring crammed into two months. This liner will be the most practical thing to use for camping in Texas because of temperatures. Plus, it has permethrin woven into the fabrics deterring bugs away from your space.
5. Patagonia – Tres Parka
The Tres Parka is a 3-in-1 coat. The inner liner can be unzipped from the jacket. When you need to shed a layer, unzip it and leave it at home. You can still wear each piece separately for different climates. With a down coat on the inside this will definitely keep you toasty. A waterproof outer liner will keep the climate out. Cassie likes this coat because it is fashionable and functional. You have three ways to wear this coat. It can go with a dress or cover up your casual easy shirt and jeans. Not to mention it is a true down coat which is very comfortable.
6. Aetrex Insoles – 2405
This is the type of thing that you need to come in to get properly fit. Cassie got custom fit for these particular insoles and wears them nearly everyday. Once you get your foot scanned we can accurately place you in the correct insole.
7. MSR – Reactor Stove
If you are outdoors backpacking, or even cooking while car camping, this is the most efficient cooker you can get. It traps the heat in the side vents and can boil a liter of water in less than 2:00 minutes with a 12 MPH wind. There is no other outdoor cooker that can do the same.
8. Sorel – Tofino Boot
Once again fashion meets function. Can't beat a very cute boot, especially when it keeps you fashionably warm after a full day of fresh lines.
9. Moving Comfort – Fiona Bra
4 out of 5 women are not properly fitted for a sports bra. That means you are probably not getting the support you ned! Support your girls and get professionally fitted!
10. Black Diamond Equipment – Apollo Lantern
Lighting up your tent hasn't been more compact-able, easy to use, and puposeful. The telescoping top, can collapse down and save space. When retracted it creates a great deal of light in a 4 foot diameter. Putting out 80 lumens you can reduce that to 20 lumens. The hooks also hang from the top if you want to hang it from the top of your tent.

TCR # 117 Wakey Wakey and June Meg's Garden page
I have been more or less absent from blogland these passed few days. Spent them in the animal hospital with our fur baby Max. He has a kidney condition and we know that eventually the moment will come when we will have to let him join our other fur babies in Rainbow Land.
I won't get into the details but he had IV liquid transfusions for 8 hours per day for several days. The number of tests that were taken are many. He was such a good good boy all the time despite all the pulling, pricking and tugging at him, didn't say a word when he was x-rayed and I had to keep him still with a rigid grip on all his legs.
I was worried sick for him and actually sat by him all these hours. I bless my boss for her understanding and the hospital for letting us occupy an entire cubicle to ourselves instead of Max being put into a cage all on his own. I know we were both a lot calmer for having each other nearby. Our Max is now on the road to recovery. His kidneys were not the problem, he has an infection that can be treated. YAY!
So a little late, here's the TCR # 117 palette designed in cooperation with the Swedish scrappy magazine Inzpira. Bold, juicy and vibrant summer colours!
Well, I wouldn't be me if I didn't add something to the page that isn't all about pop crackle and fizz even if I truly adore vibrant layouts that others create. Here is my take that I have called "Wakey Wakey", not difficult to guess what inspired me to the title :))
The backing paper is MME of course and I have used subtle techniques to get the extra shabby effect. Washed it with a small wet sponge and diluted cream acrylic paint for starters, dabbed on diluted gesso, misted in Wheatfileds and Concrete and Slate.
This Prima bloom is the melon part, so difficult to have it photograph properly. Cut-out blooms from a Crate paper and branches from a Prima paper. Stickles Cinnamon on the chicken wire chippie.
The little girl peeking over the fence is fussy-cut from Swedish Pion Design's newest collection called Grandma's Schoolbook.
The frame was a plain white cardboard passe partout frame from a hobby shop. I primed it in gesso and then modelling paste before using mask/modelling paste for the cherry blossoms/branches. Then I misted everything in Wheatfields (one of my top 5 fave mists) and smearing out glass beads texture gel. Finally I wiped over the blossoms with a finger dipped in gold acrylic paint.
Mr Rooster is a mighty handsome creature, just look at his plumage! the other photos I looked at, had a parade of chicks and hens. Totally adorable! So this one is not one of my own, I found it on a Swedish gardening site.
More fussy cutting from the same Crate and Prima papers as above.
And now to my June DT page for Meg's Garden that is called "Laughter", although I completely forgot to stick down the title on the page, sloppy me!
This is once again my scrappy friend R and her darling husband E on their wedding day back in March 2012. Beach, Florida, sand, sun, family and friends, in love, the bride was barefoot and had blingbling around her toes, a lot of reasons for a really really happy LAUGHTER in other words.
I will just upload the pages without comment, adding some background text before I do to give you an idea of what I've done on this page.
I wanted to show how the romantic papers can be used in a rather modern but shabby way by adding mixed media techniques to them. It is very easy to get stuck in just fussy-cutting them, which I think would be a pity as there are quite a few scrappers out there who don't do fussy cutting but who could be inspired to use the papers anyway by adding other elements to them.
I started by misting in different shades of blue, teal and sand, and then used modelling paste/mask on it.
Two layers of frayed and misted calico were scrunched and placed under the double layer of photos before strips of chunky lace were tucked in. A couple of tears on the sides and left over pieces of patterned paper placed in the tears.
A bed was made of muslin, lace, strands of hessian and skeleton leaves before placing an abundance of flowers on top. A string of pearls and a butterfly trinket. The smaller cluster up to the left was created in the same way, with some fussy-cut forget-me-nots added at the base.
As a finishing touch, gesso, modelling paste and gold acrylic paint were randomly smeared out with my finger.
Things will have slowed down considerably next week as the majority of Swedes have begun their summer holidays. I have another week to go before mine starts, but I will telework from home. Yeeehaw! saves me 2 hours of daily commuting not having to go to the office.
So I'm having high hopes of being able to finally repay ye faithful friends who have come for so many appreciated visits and left beautiful beautiful comments for me. Till then, have a really wonderful weekend!
Toodeloo! xoxox Eila

I know some moms have so many questions regarding cloth diapers and how to go about them. Some hesitate to start because they do not know exactly what to do. When I was pregnant with Leo, I researched a lot about it and I've learnt so much through other moms' blogs and YouTube videos. We have been cloth diapering for 5 months now and I have to say, it is easier than it looks! Seriously! So I am gonna answer these questions regarding cloth diapering in my post below:-
- What do you actually need?
- How do you wash the diapers?
- What about the poop?
- Where do you put the dirty diapers?
- How do you hang them dry?
This is our cloth diaper set up and what we use for Leo.
His diapers are ready-to-use in the first drawer. I keep them there so that it is easy to change him. He moves a lot now so I have to keep an eye for him or he might fall off the change table! I have a little more diapers now. I sold off those that I did not use and got more of the ones that I like that works best for us. I will make a cloth diaper stash update soon.
I used to fold my cloth wipes so that they "pop-out" when I pull them out just like normal wipes, but now I don't.
I figured there is no need to fold them nicely because at the end, I am gonna need one fast and sometimes, they get stuck in the wipes container. This was a regular disposable wipes container, which I am no longer using. This container cannot fit as many cloth wipes too. It was only more trouble to fold them and put it in.
Now I use a normal container that I had bought from Daiso for RM5. Super cheap! And I can keep ALL my cloth wipes in it. Just throw them in and use whenever I need. I do not pre-wet my wipes because I find it yucky (bring soiled with water for a few days?) I just spray on each wipe as I use.
What is in my spray bottle? Only water. I do not use any soap or special solution. I did, at one time wanted to make my own solution or maybe just a little baby soap but there is really no need for that. I find that wiping Leo with water alone is good enough to clean all the mess.
Again… I can use as many wipes as I need. Cloth wipes (I use regular wash cloths), are so much bigger and can clean very well compared to disposable wipes/wet tissues. If you remember my previous post on vacation —–> HERE. I mentioned that on disposables, I had to change him a few times when his diaper was not even full because we went swimming. With so many changes, I felt bad that I threw away diapers just like that. With cloth, I do not have to worry because I will wash them anyway. I can use as many as I'd like. Same as wipes… I use 2-3- disposable wipes to clean a mess. That is a lot of money in the long run.
Once I remove his dirty diaper, I put it into the diaper bin/wetbag. I use a wetbag when I am away from home/daycare. At home, I just open the lid of the bin and throw it in. The bin I am using is a regular trash bin from IKEA. I think I got it at RM45 or so… it is easy to use and in actual fact, you can just use a normal trash bin. No need for anything special, really. I put a pail liner in the bin so that it keeps the mess or if I have any wet diapers in there. The liner is waterproof as well (just like the outside of a cloth diaper). When it is laundry day, I simply take off the lid, take the liner to my washing area and start laundry. That's all. I have 2 pail liners to rotate. The liners I use is from Grovia.
I will pour all my dirty diapers into my washing machine and start the laundry. This is what I typically do:-
- Run a quick wash cycle with full water capacity without detergent (to remove all the pee/poop)
- Run a normal/soak wash cycle with full water capacity with detergent (around 1.5-2 tablespoons per wash for 15 diapers)
- Take the clean diapers out and hang dry
Sounds easy? YES, it is that simple! I use full water capacity to rinse diapers because rinsing is the most important part. It removes all the dirt and makes the diapers cleaner.
I use Rockin Green detergent as it is the best cloth diaper safe detergent. Using non cloth diaper detergent may cause your diapers to repel water… only if you do it VERY often. I bought this pack for RM55 and I am still using the same first pack that I bought. It has been 5 months and I still have more than 1/3 of detergent! They last very long and not expensive at all!
Now that Leo is taking semi solids once a day, his poop may not be 100% water soluble (but still, they wash clean almost99%). I use a diaper liner to prevent staining or just so it is easy to dispose of the messy poop and then wash the diaper as usual. You can now get flushable liners easily too. When Leo has a supermessy poopy diaper (which only happened twice so far), I will just spray it off in my toilet with the water sprayer. It takes less than a minute and then put it in the pain as usual with the other diapers.
I hang them on my normal clothes hanger and it will dry by the next day, unless it is raining. As you can see, I do my laundry at night because it is the only time I have besides the weekend. If there is hot sun in the weekend, I will dry them under the sun and it removes stains magically. The sun is the best bleach for your diapers 🙂
Leo rarely develops diaper rashes. He will only get them when his diaper is not changed often enough. You can get cloth diaper safe rash cream pretty easily now. I use Thirsties Booty Love which I bought at RM25 per jar. Yes, it costs more than the normal Drapolene or Bepenthen but again, cloth diaper safe cream is made of natural ingredients. If you get some organic ointment as diaper cream, it may cost even more. Normal rash cream can work too but it may cause your cloth diapers to repel water in the long run. But if you do have to use those, just put a nappy liner on. It will protect the diaper from the cream.
p/s: you diaper will not repel water if you use normal cream/normal detergent once. It is only if you keep using them for months!
So there you have it. I hope I answered most of your questions regarding cloth diapering and I hope that you may think about switching to cloth or at least try it out. If you have any feedback/questions do share them with me in the comments below. If you do cloth diaper, let me know your routine and how you handle them.

For all those working on their bikes, if you don't have one, buy one right away to avoid a quite frequent annoying mistake while installing a transmission mainsheet case bearing seal. This simple tool let you set the seal perfectly in place at .050" below the case surface. Good bye transmission oil leaks. Machined from billet aluminum and finished in red anodizing (so that you easily find it in the shop or garage!) this new seal installer is for large seals used on 1987 to 2006 Big Twins (except Dyna models ). $49.95 at George's Garage..

George has made a few tools similar to JIMS® tools and you can buy direct. (JIMS® is dealer-only.)
The H-D® 0.050″ seal inset depth has remained the same since 1936. The raw metal edge of the back of the seal's metal ring needs to seat into the dry cork washer at the bottom of the mainshaft (tranny case) counter bore. So, you'll have a collar seal around the mainshaft and a seal at the back, where the metal seal perimeter meets cork.
You can tell if the previous mechanic installed the old seal correctly, because the old cork should have an evenly distributed "seal line" indentation in the exterior surface, when it is removed for replacement.

JIMS also has distributors.
George has copied/mimicked several of JIMS tools in the past. George has no distributors, but if he did you can bet pricing would be the same or higher than JIMS. Support the people who put the R&D dollars into these product originally!
Dec 3rd, 2009 at 11:47 am
JIMS® has made some mistakes on it's tools…small mistakes but huge when you go to use the tool.
The tool in question is JIMS® (97235-55B) 1955-68 (motor) sprocket shaft seal tool. The tool ships from JIMS® that has two locator pins for the seal. These pins are 0.088″ long and since the pins are the only part of the tool that make contact with the seal, if you don't surface mill the pis down to 0.070″, then the longer pins will allow the tool to wobble. Not good.
So, JIMS® has made millions, probably sold off JIMS to another management company years ago.
Anytime you can find a mechanic like George to make something cheaper and better than the original, I'm for it.
All the other manufacturers have deserted R&D on 1936-1964 OHV tools. We need some fresh eyes on repop, while the rest of the world gets carried off by the ridiculous electirc-start modern motorcycles.
Screw the future of modern motorcycles. Some of are happily stuck in the past, and we need support form the "garage inventors" of the world.
