Sunday School Rules
Welcome to my first Sunday School post!
This will be my fourth year teaching our mixed Pre-k and Kinder (Prep) class. I teach our church's little dears together with Naomi Pop, my sister-in-law. She is totally an amazing person and I love her so much and couldn't imagine teaching without her! We do lots of hands-on activities because we believe learning should be fun and involve the learner; whether it be ABCs, 123s or faith-based learning, it's always gotta be fun if you want your kiddos to walk away having learned something new.
I believe this would be a good time to mention that we teach in a Romanian church where 99.99 % of the kids prefer to speak English instead of Romanian. What does this mean for us? We translate everything – we have one kiddo, to be exact, who speaks ONLY Romanian and a handful of kids who speak ONLY English. Then, the rest, can understand basic Romanian but mostly speak English. Complicated? It can be at times, especially if we ramble on too much in Romanian and our little ones start to get restless and ask "When's snack time?" We then remember to switch back to English and that usually gets everyone concentrating again 🙂
So, let's get into our first lesson!
We talked about rules. Yep. Because 3.5 year old children don't know to raise their hand before speaking. 4 year olds think they can walk out to use the bathroom whenever they please and the older kiddos have done this last year so they think they know everything and there is no need to listen! And so, we need rules.
I know people say that you should keep rules to a minimum, but our class has seven because:
1. They don't get that the first one pretty much covers all the others
2. They really do think it's OK to run around and hide under chairs
3. Rainbow colours – you can't use ALL the colours if you only have 4 rules. So, you need 7. And that, friends, is why we have 7 🙂
(If you'd like either of these posters for your class, click on the language version you prefer to download your freebie!)
I'm sorry for the terrible photo, but this is what the rules look like in our room – they are right at the front and I attached them to the whiteboard with a huge clip. I got this idea from Mrs. Ricca's Kindergarten, and she has an editable version for sale here!
I made ours double-sided – the other side is in Romanian and I usually have that side facing the front.
After we talked about the rules and practiced them, we talked about whole body listening. We used posters to communicate what good listening looks like, and then we practiced being good listeners together to get a better idea of how it feels.

(Click on the image below to get the Romanian version.)
We also read a book about manners. I should have taken some photos of the inside to show you what it's like. But I was in a hurry and didn't think! I bought my copy from Koorong.
Then we sorted some pictures of good and bad behaviour.
(Get the English version by clicking on the picture below. There is a worksheet at the end that we can't use with my little ones, but you might be able to use with your older students!)
(Get the Romanian version here!)
I made a colouring book about our rules, but we were running short on time, so I gave it to my kiddos to work on at home.
(Click on the rules poster of your choice at the top of this post to get your booklet).
I always make a Take-Home page for our munchkins. That way, parents are informed about what we learned and the kiddos have something to draw on during Sunday night service!

We don't usually have time to take photos during the our Sunday School session, but I'll see what we can manage for future posts 🙂
And there you have it! Our first lesson all done! I hope you find the printables useful!
Before I go, I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to my friend, Andreea, who helped translate everything into Romanian. She's another awesome person who means a lot to me!

Cu aprecieri,
Hi, I just found your blog through Pinterest & I love your work. So far I've only looked at the Sunday School section & I'm hooked already!I downloaded the Take Home booklet in English & just noticed that some of the text is in Romanian, even though it's all in English in the picture. Is there any way I could get a complete English version, please? Thanks for your great work. I'll be popping over to look at your TPT site right now!

Hi, This is pretty amazing! Do you mind if I take it and remake a little to suit our needs? Because if older kids are okay with our schools rules, younger ones have troubles remembering all of it. I specially love the idea of colouring book.

One of the hardest things about writing is shaping the characters and forming a plot.
Here is some ways to help you do this.
1. Emotion: what emotion do you want your character to promote?
For the Big Sisters the Bioshock design team wanted a broken bird type charcater trying to deal with a traumatic event that was awkward and twisted.
2. Motivation: What motivates a character to do something?
For Frank Fontaine it was for power. For many splicers it was due to a phobia for example ducky feeling paranoia.
The use of mind control is a way for an author to have a character do something that he/she normally wouldn't this was shown within bioshock with the "would you kindly" trigger.
3. Appearence: Sometimes it is best to put character development aside and focus first on what the character would look like. Inspiration can come from looking at photographs of different art styles or from another time.

Chris Hemsworth Joins Gestating Moby Dick Tale 'Heart of the Sea'
by Ethan Anderton
June 11, 2012
Source: Deadline
Between Snow White and the Huntsman and The Avengers and the lesser celebrated though wholly worthy Cabin in the Woods, it's been a great year for Chris Hemsworth, and we should still see him in the long delayed remake of Red Dawn sometime this year. Now the actor is lining up more future projects as Deadline reports Hemsworth has just become attached to In the Heart of the Sea, a long gestating adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick's book of the same name which tells the story of the real-life disaster of a ship being destroyed by a sperm whale in 1820, which inspired Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick.
Edward Zwick was once attached to direct the film a few years ago, but it never god off the ground. As of now the project is also trying to find a studio home with DreamWorks looking like the frontrunner to make it happen now that Hemsworth is attached. Blood Diamond writer Charles Leavitt is behind the script which will see Hemsworth as a first mate who was supplanted as captain of the whaling ship by a better connected rival. He's essentially the young hero as he ends up leading some of the crewman to rescue after the sperm whale attacks the ship and leaves everyone stranded in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles from home. Sounds like a great role for Hemsworth, who we'll next see stretching his acting chops in Ron Howard's racing drama Rush sometime down the road.

What is it?
Berkley 5-inch Jumbo Chigger Craw.
What does it do?
Berkley's original 4-inch Chigger Craw is said to have won millions of dollars since it was first introduced. During its lifetime, this quintessential craw has undergone several incarnations, namely the smaller 3-inch Chigger Craw as well as the more recent Crazy Legs Chigger Craw. Berkley has now created a mini-lobster with the Jumbo 5-inch version.
Like the other Chigger Craws, the Jumbo is made with Berkley's PowerBait scent and is available in nine proven colors.
Why do I need it?
This bruiser will come in handy when you're fishing where the bass and/or the mudbugs grow very large, and you need a bait that creates a ruckus in the water.
How do I use it?
While the Jumbo Chigger Craw may look like a novelty at first glance, it has several viable applications. Ideally it is rigged Texas style with a large (5/0 or 6/0) hook and an appropriate amount of weight for the depth and thickness of cover that you're fishing. Peg it in thicker cover. This plus-size crustacean is also at home on larger jigs, of either the swimming or football persuasion.
How much?
Berkley suggests a retail price of $3.99 for a 4-pack.

MXN Under Fire
Mirror, mirror on the wall, what is the most troubled cross of them all? Well, it's actually the Russian ruble. But in recent weeks, there has been another victim to join the most battered currency club - the Mexican peso.
Since the implosion of Lehman Brothers (September), risk appetite has packed up and left town - for all asset classes, including currencies - and Mexico's peso is no exception. This is reflected in the chart below with the MXN trading below 11/$ for most of 2008, up until - you guessed it - September. At that point, investors became so risk averse that you couldn't get them to bet on the World Series. The peso at around 13/$ felt a bit more comfortable for the time being because the data flow from south of the border was actually pretty resilient.
But like the rest of the world, things became evident over time. Data release after data release spelled disaster for the US-dependent economy, and the peso came under severe downward pressure with each fresh batch of bad news. After trading under 14/$ for the remainder of 2008, the new year ushered in a whole new panic attack for investors. Immediately, the MXN began trading over 14/$, then over 14.25/$, then up to 14.5/$. Once 14.5/$ was breached (end of Jan., horizontal reference on chart), the government and central bank began to worry. Not only does a weaker currency have inflationary consequences, but this was starting to look a little like a speculative attack.
Chart 1
And what do you do during a speculative attack on your currency? You sell FX reserves. In the week ended Feb. 6, Mexico sold $1.06 billion from its foreign reserves to help the battered peso. While the markets responded favorably for a short time after each sale, over the course of the day the currency would eventually trade lower than before the government's dollar auction. The authorities seemed to forget that the market has an extremely short-term memory. Perhaps they also forgot to take heed of Russia's current nightmare situation. By selling reserves to protect its own currency, the Russian authorities, in effect, painted a bulls-eye on the ruble, and are moving ever closer to the situation faced in 1998, despite Putin's rock-solid rhetoric.
The real question is, did the Mexican authorities also put a price on the peso's head? After reaching an all-time high of 14.7165/$ in intra-day trading on February 17, it is tough to say no. Despite billions in reserve sales, the MXN continues to sink to record lows, so it appears as if the moves have been futile. Furthermore, Fitch mentioned on February 9 that due to the recent reserve reductions, Mexico is on watch for a downgrade - which sounds exactly like a bulls-eye.
The important thing for the authorities to remember here is that they cannot, under any circumstances, target a certain exchange rate. Targeting an exchange rate will result in the vicious cycle of throwing reserves at the market, time and time again, while seeking a conclusion that the market is not willing to accept. The market is going to go where it wants to, and fighting its urges will only lead to the loss of billions more reserves, which may in fact destabilize the economy faster than not intervening would. The peso will be undervalued in the short-term and the authorities should accept that. As the US and Mexican economies come back to life, the value will correct in the medium-term. There is no problem with smoothing volatility, but it seems as if 14.5/$ is the bank's magic number. And having a magic number is very bad indeed.
If the central bank were observant, it could play hero in this mess. Instead of being worried about rate cuts fuelling inflation (the economy is going to contract in 2009, killing demand-side pressures), it should be thanking Brazil and Chile and any other Latin American country that has made a large cut for showing them the way. Brazil's most recent cut (Jan. 21) of 100 bps was followed by a rally in the Real that has still retained most of its gains. Likewise, Chile's first cut of the cycle (Jan. 8) of 100 bps had the same effect on its peso, as did the most recent monster 250 bp cut (Feb. 12). The take-away here is, markets are loving bigger-than-expected emerging rate cuts. So, Banxico, please help stimulate your sagging economy and save your nose-diving peso from freefall by giving us more than we expect on February 20.

Fellini & Fascism
After Federico Fellini's early realist films, among them widely-acknowledged masterworks including I Vitelloni and La Strada, he turned decisively to a cinematic style that was surreal in the true sense of the term: certainly it was visually dazzling and full of nearly unbelievable images and scenarios, but it was also deeply personal in the sense of reflexive psychoanalytical introspection that the charter Surrealists (Dalí, Cocteau, Buñuel, et al) sought to expose. The automatic processes, the irrational visuals, the primacy given to the unconscious in the work of such figures were intended to demonstrate and develop much more than what Ben Watson refers to as "the warm shower of imageoiserie" (and given the source, we can assume the cloaco-sexual suggestion is entirely intentional) of postmodern would-be neosurrealists in the vein of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Tarsem Singh who, despite having produced some admittedly dazzling and memorable settings and atmospheres, nonetheless fail to produce films with the rich detail or multivalent suggestibility of truly great compositions.
As such, the content of Fellini's great surreal features (La Dolce Vita, 8 1⁄2, Giulietta degli Spiriti, Satyricon) is primarily discussed either in terms of pure visual composition or in relation to what they elucidate in his own emotions and intellect, and while both these approaches are instructive, they miss the implicit political critique of Fellini's films. Admittedly, this critique is subtle almost to the point of absence: though social criticism looms large in all the films listed above, a clear political gesture from Fellini is a rare bird, particularly in terms of literal plotting or event. However, Fellini's films are so enduring and powerful in part because they reveal themselves through so many conduits besides simple plot, because so much of their content works on more figurative levels that, in this age in which what a film "is" tends to be defined strictly and simplistically by the events it contains, are ultimately more exciting and are cast out farther and deeper into the vague, shadowy realms of possibility.
One such film is 1972's Roma, which like much of the maestro's work proceeds from basic autobiographical facts into a surreal realm that is ultimately both fascinatingly fantastical and incisively relevant. Fellini himself begins the film with a voiceover in which he admits that it essentially has no plot, no continuous narrative, no characters except "Rome herself" (which is, as ever, a bit disingenuous, as he himself is clearly the male lead to the city's heroine), and loosely chronicles the roots of his interest in the city with his school trip there in the mid-'20s, his immigration as an 18-year old at the very outbreak of World War II ("They won't bomb us because they're afraid of hitting the Vatican," as one Roman denizen memorably observes), and, in a characteristic upsetting of the subject/object binary, the actual process of filming the early '70s portion of Roma itself. As befits history, much of the film takes place during the rise, reign, and fall of Mussolini, and his looming presence is hardly tiptoed around: when the young Fellini meets the Roman family with whom he will be staying on his 1938 sojourn, an older male relative introduces himself by bounding out of a bathroom and doing his best Benito, and when an air raid takes place during an early '40s visit to a vaudeville show, one of the trapped theater-goers declares, to the lukewarm approval of the crowd, that "only Mussolini and fascism will save us."
While Fellini's narrative voice-over makes no explicit comment on the pro- or anti-Mussolini sentiments expressed by various characters throughout the film (though, naturally, there is a crack about trains running on time), the very material of his cinematic technique is a pungent rebuke of the ideology of fascism. As Dr. Marshall Armintor has remarked in conversation with the author, "There is no fascism without uniforms": despotic totalitarian politics rely completely on the spectacle, the appearance of solidity, strength, and homogeneity to mask the inequality, oppression, and violence beneath. It is always a sign of imminent danger when a nation begins holding displays of its athletic, intellectual, even spiritual prowess, for such a display is nearly always the corollary for an act of imperialist-style violence, the justification for the subjugation of a people who fail to meet the lofty standards demonstrated. Roma contains one such display in a scene in which Fellini-as-a-boy and his parents visit a movie theater and watch a pro-fascist film strip among the crowd's jostling for seats, and while the juxtaposition of the false regality and fraudulent grandeur of the Italy on screen with the petty bickering of the Italy represented by its citizens is a clear critical gesture, there is greater deconstructive substance to be found in the actual techniques Fellini uses to construct his films. This is the specific political power of Roma: it presents Fellini's filmmaking for the first time in the specific context of sociopolitical repression and demonstrates by such presentation the power of his work to beggar the totalitarian myth.
Like the fascists, Fellini returns again and again to spectacle, to overwhelmingly massive crowd scenes and vast, dazzling panoramas, but he employs them to precisely the opposite effect. Totalitarianism desires to present a unified front, a stoic, "dignified," hard line of state-sponsored rigidity and strength; Fellini presents crowd scenes in all their actual circus-like surreality and diverse grotesquerie, a move that powerfully gives the lie to the cheap appearance of monolithic splendor that is the very lifeblood of fascism. Mussolini, like Hitler, was careful to present images containing only lean young men of the most ethincally "purified" sort (which naturally suggests questions regarding the relationship between the fascist ideal and homosocial or homosexual desire, a topic for another discussion) performing feats of physical strength or arranged in unyielding formations of marching and saluting troops; Fellini not only includes outcasts, "degenerates," Frank Zappa's "left-behinds of the Great Society" (let's hear it for another great Italian . . . ) but makes them part of the focus of his visual and ideological structures. He does so not in an exploitative or condescending manner but with the intrigue and sympathy of one who understands that "freaks" explode the boundaries of normalcy, push at the limits of what is to be considered "real" or "average," and most importantly call into question the behaviors of the "normal"--for as often as Fellini depicts obviously outcast characters ("homosexuals and my usual enormous whores," as he laughingly puts it during one of the scenes of Roma's filming), he also puts forth characters whose behaviors have been ratified by society but are clearly conducting themselves in brutal, thoughtless, even bloodthirsty ways (for example, the ritualistic-sacrifical air of Anita Ekberg's famous dancing scene in La Dolce Vita, especially Alain Dijon's wonderfully twisted facial expressions). In the same manner that Watson so enthusiastically applauds in Zappa's oeuvre, Fellini gleefully thrusts into focus the people and situations that shatter the violent and destructive myths of fascism.

Anglo-Irish pop group The Saturdays had their first number one single on the British charts on Sunday with "What About Us", a collaboration with Jamaican singer Sean Paul.
The London-based five-piece have had 11 hits in Britain since they were formed in 2007, but had never before taken the top spot.
The Official Charts Company, which compiles the weekly rundown, said their dance-pop single pushed last week's number one, "Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake, into second place.
Holding on to third place were U.S. singers Pink and Nate Ruess with their track "Just Give Me A Reason".
American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars was a non-mover at number four with "When I Was Your Man", while London band Bastille were steady at five with "Pompeii".
Timberlake's new album "The 20/20 Experience" entered the chart at number one in its first week of release, knocking David Bowie's "The Next Day" down to second place.
English indie band Suede were the second highest new entry at 10 with "Bloodsports", thir sixth studio album.

If you're serious about selling an item, you've most likely got it listed in more than one location. While eBay is a great venue for selling your stuff, sites like Craig's List and even your local paper can be equally effective.
The question becomes what to do if someone offers you a price you're willing to take for an item that is currently running as an auction on eBay? Luckily, a little friendly guidance will help you get out of the eBay auction with both your item and your reputation intact.
Accept the offer you're interested in through your eBay item's "Best Offer" system, which will allow you to counteroffer as well. If you have received the offer from a different source than eBay, then this step does not apply to you, and you should begin with Step 2.
Ensure that your outside buyer is committed to the purchase of your item before you end the eBay auction. Inform them that the sale of this item is first-come, first-served, and if possible get them to pay for and pick up the item before you end the auction, so as not to lose your listing fee and potential customers. Always remember that an interpersonal sale like a Craig's List listing or other non-mediated forum is far less secure than the always-monitored eBay sales engine.
Log on to your eBay account and access the "My eBay" interface page. Next to the item in question should be a drop-down menu with several choices, one of which should be "End Item" (or similar, depending on local language). Click this button.
Choose the option to end your item prematurely, and mark the reason for the premature cancellation as "Item Is No Longer Available". Once you agree to follow this course of action by clicking "Submit", your bidders and those with pending Best Offers on your item will be informed that the item is no longer for sale, and the auction will cease immediately.

The Granite City Lumberjacks have been playing hockey in town since 2007, but some of you still may not know much about them. Coach Brad Willner says they're basically the hockey version of the St. Cloud Rox.
The Twins won their 3rd straight game against Cleveland 7-2 Monday night to win the series 3 games to 1. Sam Deduno threw 7 innings with 3 hits, 3 walks and 2 earned runs allowed to get the win and improve to 6-3. Pedro Florimon went 2-4 with with a double and a triple, 2 runs scored and 1 RBI, Joe Mauer was 2-4 with 1 RBI and Ryan Doumit hit a solo homerun for the Twins.
The rough and tumble sport of roller derby is making a comeback. A group of local ladies are members of the St. Cloud Area Roller Dolls, one of about 12 teams in Minnesota. Team member "Doctor Boom" says they have about 30 women signed-up, from all walks of life.
The Vikings nearly gave away a game that appeared to be theirs with just seconds left when Blaine Gabbert threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Cecil Shorts with :20 left. Viking quarterback Christian Ponder completed a pair of passes setting up kicker Blair Walsh for a 55-yard field goal. Walsh made the kick and made a 38-yard field goal in overtime that turned out to be the game-winner. Jacksonville got the ball once in overtime with the new overtime rule but were unable to score.
The Twins got a walk-off solo homerun from Justin Morneau in the 9th inning to lift the Twins to a 8-7 win over Cleveland at Target Field Sunday. Morneau was 2-4 with 2 homeruns and 3 RBIs, Joe Mauer was 3-5 with 2 runs scored and 1 RBI and Ben Revere was 2-5 with 1 RBI. Brian Duensing allowed just 1 hit in 1 1/3 innings to get the win. Esmerling Vazquez allowed 4 earned runs in 3 innings and didn't figure in the final decision for Minnesota.
The Minnesota Lynx won 81-62 over San Antonio Sunday to have won 11 straight. The Lynx are 9-0 since the Olympics. Maya Moore led the Lynx with 18 points and 12 rebounds and Rebekkah Brunson added 14 points and 12 rebounds for Minnesota. The Lynx shot 55 percent while San Antonio shot 36 percent.
The 11th annual "Day to Remember" event is being held tomorrow (Tuesday) in St. Cloud. The event is held on the 11th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
One of the fastest growing sports in the St. Cloud metro area is Rugby. We have a men's team called the Feeders, a women's team called the Siren's, and a boys high school team called the Steelhead.

East Asian Studies
Name: Priya Bhanu
Year: Class of 2009
Hometown: San Carlos, CA
Major: International Studies, East Asian Studies
Chairman Mao, Footbinding, 中文: East Asian Studies at Hopkins
Coming into college, I knew I wanted to study international studies, but beyond that, I was clueless. Second semester of freshman year, I more or less randomly decided to take a class on Contemporary Chinese Politics. Okay, so maybe my decision was not completely random, but China is an up-and-coming region in the world today, and seeing as how I would need to choose a concentration for IR, I thought that maybe China would be a good place to start. Of course, being a freshman, I was put on the wait list for the class, and luckily the professor decided to double the class size, and that semester is when my fascination with China began. I fell in love with contemporary China, and I decided to start taking Chinese in order to make my study of China easier; it is pretty hard to remember all the names of important historical and political figures if you don't know Chinese. During my sophomore year, I realized that double majoring in East Asian studies would complement my IR degree very well, especially since I'd chosen China as a concentration.
Once I'd decided that East Asian studies would be doable, I began to realize why East Asian studies was such a great major. First of all, I love the language requirement component; you need to study three years of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, or you can study two years of one language and two years of another. I have obviously chosen to study Chinese, and as a part of my quest for fluency in Chinese, I spent spring 2008 studying abroad in Beijing, where I studied only Chinese language for an entire semester. In addition to soaking up the Chinese culture, I was also required to participate in a language pledge, which prohibited me from speaking English all semester! Let me just say how challenging this experience was, but it was worth it. I managed to skip one and a half levels of Chinese in one semester abroad! It was definitely an amazing experience, and one that was definitely doable—and in my opinion necessary—as an East Asian studies major. In addition to language requirements, EAS Majors are required to take eight classes related to East Asia; in other words, these can be political, historical, cultural, or literary classes about East Asia. In my studies of China, I have taken two in the political science department, one in the sociology department, several in the history department, and one that focused on cultural imaginations of the body. Furthermore, of the eight required classes, any class concerning China, Japan, or Korea counts as an East Asian class, and up to two can focus on other regions of Asia, such as South Asia and Southeast Asia. As a result, this major lends a lot of freedom to the student, and there are very few restrictions.
In addition to study abroad opportunities, the EAS Department just began offering the opportunity to write an honors thesis in your senior year, in addition to providing research grants to encourage students to go abroad and research East Asia in the field. Furthermore, the EAS Department has also set up language corners that meet once a week in order to help students increase their language abilities in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and to give students an outlet to practice their languages. The EAS Department is also very diligent at alerting students to opportunities relating to EAS, be they lectures in the area or opportunities to work and study abroad. Hopkins also has a club called the East Asian Forum and Review. It brings in lecturers every semester for events that are open to all students; it also publishes a journal to which students can submit their original research in hopes of being published! Professor Kellee Tsai just took over as head of the EAS Department, and she is very excited about helping the program grow. As a result, many new programs have been set up just in the last year or so, in an attempt at further enhancing our program.
Because the EAS Department is still relatively small, it is easy to get to know your professors and fellow students in your major. There is something about learning character-based languages that creates a bond with fellow students. Although I have skipped Chinese levels, I'm still good friends with all my fellow students from Beginning Chinese. Because it is such a different language, struggling through it together is pretty amazing. When I was abroad, I immediately found a close group of friends, partially because we were all crazy enough to have decided to study abroad in China, and then to have chosen a program that prohibited English! When I was abroad, I lived with a Chinese roommate who didn't speak any English! The first couple of weeks were really tough, but now we use Skype to chat at least once a month, and there are no problems. One of my favorite parts of EAS is that it gives you so much freedom to make your major your own. I also love that language is an integral part of the program, which not only enables you to study abroad, but encourages it!
Now that I am a senior, I am beginning to think about what I am going to do with my life, and it definitely includes going back to China for some time. Ideally, I will work in the government, at the CIA or the Defense Intelligence Agency, and do analysis regarding US-China relations. However, I might also go into journalism and become a foreign correspondent, focusing on China. One of the great things about this major is that you can tailor it to what you want to do, and in the end, it will open up a plethora of opportunities. Honestly, right now, East Asia is on the rise, and there is no better time than now to factor it into your future.
The best way to sum up the East Asian studies major at Hopkins: 真好。!AWESOME!

The construction of a DIY outside metal chimney, or prefabricated metal chimney, follows the same basic procedures as for an interior installation, except most of the installation is routed along an exterior wall. A metal chimney serves the same purpose as a masonry chimney: create a draft to draw the oxygen required for the appliance combustion process and exhaust smoke, fumes, embers and gases through the chimney.
Like all chimneys, an outside metal chimney must be well-constructed. It must be assembled in a manner that meets the specifications of the appliance and the local building codes. Plan the layout of the chimney as close to the appliance as possible. Usually, this is an adjacent wall.
The materials used for the construction of interior chimneys are the same as used for DIY outside metal chimney projects. Use double-wall (insulated) or triple-wall pipe. The formal Underwriters Laboratories (UL) label is UL-approved Stainless Steel Class A Insulated Chimney. The insulated chimney pipe is used the most. Insulated pipe is constructed of two layers of pipe, with 1 or more inches of a heat-resistant insulation sandwiched in between the stainless steel pipes.
Triple-wall chimney pipe consists of three pipes. It is constructed in a manner that allows air to circulate between the pipes, which gets rid of surplus heat. It doesn't matter which pipe you select for your DIY outside metal chimney as long as the pipe is listed by Underwriters Laboratories.
Read the product owner manual and follow the local building codes for constructing the metal chimney. Chimney pipes come in a variety of diameters. The size of the chimney pipe you should use is usually based on the port size. The port is located on the appliance. Increasing or decreasing the pipe size recommended by the manufacturer can harm the appliance's performance. It can also void the product's warranty.
Generally, the DIY outside metal chimney exits through a wall adjacent to the appliance. Install a chimney pipe wall thimble in an opening between two studs. The wall thimble allows you to pass chimney piping through the combustible wall framing. The stainless-steel insulated pipe must be stacked vertically, and to a minimum height as specified in the manual and per building codes.
Most chimneys have the same height requirements: the chimney must extend a minimum of 3 feet above the chimney line and 2 feet higher than any object within a 10-foot radius. Attach a roof vent cap to keep birds and debris out of the system.
Although it may not be required in all locations, you may want to construct a chase to round off your DIY outside metal chimney. A chase is a wooden frame construction that encases the chimney. The enclosure can be finished with material to match the existing building finish.

- "He stalks you. He follows you. You cannot hide from him. You cannot run from him. He will devour you."
- ― John Walsh, a victim of Bairre
Name: Bairre Sheehy
Aliases: The Boogeyman, The Irish Boogeyman, The Night-Walker, Nightmare, Daniel Kilduff, The Skin Jumper, Scarecrow of Flesh
Age: 24
Species: Meta-Human (Cursed)
Alignment: Neutral Evil (True Neutral in human form)
Theme: Halloween Theme
Powers: Boogeyman Transformation, Corrupted Mind, Shadow Mimicry, Umbrageous Teleportation, Shadow Walking, Shadow Devouring, Acidic Saliva, Supernatural Condition, Limb Extension, Unstoppable, Immortal Nightmare, Darkness Adaptation, Child Eater
Motto: "Run. You will not survive."
Quotes: "God... dear god... I never meant to hurt anyone. I don't want to hurt anyone. But... at night... I feel this hunger, burning inside me! I can't control myself! The hunger is too strong! I give in... and it comes out!" "Why is this happening to me?! I don't want to hurt anyone! I need your help to contain this thing!"
"It was then, when I sank into the deep abyss of a watery grave that my dying thought was a realization. I am the Boogeyman. Nothing would change that. And for the first time, as the freezing water knawed at my flesh, with me being pulled down farther and farther... I let him come out."
Origin: The mixture of a family curse and a Meta-Human ability, Bairre Sheehy, a young Irish man, is doomed to roam the night as a flesh hungry monster only comparable to the Boogeyman. With his mind turning completely feral at night, he acts only on instinct. However, in this form, he is very calculating, using fear and hiding in shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Despite his numerous efforts, he cannot control himself.
Currently: He has had to go into hiding, as he is being hunted by the Irish police. He is believed to be in America at this moment, but this has not been confirmed.

Well I saw the MFM this afternoon. I didn't see the MFM I normally see because my regular MFM was on the L&D Floor today, but I saw one of her partners. He did an ultrasound (though sadly I didn't get any pictures to take home) and everything was looking great with the baby. There was plenty of fluid, the measurements of the baby's abdomen and head looked good, the baby's heart was beating beautifully and she was even practicing breathing. She was also moving around a lot during the scan, so the doctor and the ultrasound tech both said she had good movement. They predicted the baby's size at about 6 lbs. 9 oz.
Since I'm not seeing my regular OB this week (she's out of town at a conference until Saturday), I asked the MFM to do an internal exam as well… he said my cervix was high and closed (whereas my regular OB said on Friday that I was about 1 cm. dilated). The MFM said it could just be that he has bigger fingers than my regular OB but he said my cervix was definitely not quite ready. I asked him (because Ken wanted me to) if he could predict when the baby might come, and he said that was a very silly question… but he doesn't think I'll be going into labor anytime within the next week or so. He thinks I could very well make it to my scheduled C-Section date of 10/16. He told me it seems as though the baby is still pretty high up, because when he did my internal exam, he felt that her tushy was still pretty high and she doesn't seem to have dropped at all. So it looks like we could have another 13 days before we meet our baby girl, after all! Of course I want her to stay in and bake for as long as possible but I am definitely starting to feel impatient and I would just like to meet her already and get started on this whole having a baby thing!
Well… my next appointment is on Monday with the regular OB so hopefully I'll have another update then! We'll be at 38 weeks on Tuesday and I should have my last HDBD photo on Wednesday. I'm thinking that starting on Saturday (10/6) we'll start with a more official countdown… 10 days until baby!

My friends joke that I'm culinarily challenged, even though my parents are amazing cooks. But as I prepped to move across the country, I wanted to host a small party and make a dish that everyone could enjoy.
Crepes -- slender pancakes stuffed with fillings savory or sweet -- seemed perfect for a brunch. I could devise a menu that catered to different tastes, and my event would highlight the best aspect of the Gallic specialty: making and filling them.
You can pack these pancakes with just about anything. For guests who favor the savory, we served spinach, mushrooms and smoked gouda. For those with a penchant for all things sweet, we dished up mounds of those little tropical bananas that look like fat fingers, cooked with lots of butter and sugar until caramelized, and topped with strawberries and cream. (Full disclosure: Carole Greenwood, a chef and friend who offered to help prep the fillings, ended up making them entirely.)
The traditional method of cooking crepes over a burner with a pan requires careful concentration and sleight of hand. (Seasoned crepe chefs learn how to twist their wrist just so to form an even shape.) My love of gadgets led me to cheat and fire up my new Villaware 5225, an electric crepe maker. A few moments later -- et voila! -- we had pancakes that were as light as air.
As we waited for the crepe maker to do all the work, guests chatted and sipped the champagne I served to keep with the French theme. My friends are still debating whether what I did really counts as cooking, but the fete was a great success. I've already invited them to join me for brunch at my new digs in Beverly Hills. Annie Adjchavanich
Crepes & Fillings
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk, slightly warmed (not hot)
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 cup cake flour (all-purpose flour makes less delicate crepes)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2-3 tablespoons melted butter for basting
In a small bowl, whisk eggs with warm milk and melted butter until smooth. In a larger bowl, sift cake flour, salt and sugar and create a deep well in the center. Pour the egg mixture into the well and whisk slowly and gently, gradually drawing in the dry ingredients until you have a smooth, pourable batter. It should be slightly thinner than pancake batter. You can add more milk if mixture seems too thick. Be careful to mix until well combined but resist the temptation to overmix (this will make the crepes tough).

Hi All
please assist. i want to buy tablet for technical stuff so i want to know which one is the best to run spiceworks on it and what OS it should use?
8 Replies
May 10, 2012 at 1:51 UTC
The SpiceworksMobileHD will run at iOS (5.x) and Android (3.2 and 4.0).
So it depends to your environment if you want to use iPads or aPads.
I prefer the Androids (because I have already an Android phone) ;-)
Other people may prefer the Apples (because they have iPhones).
May 10, 2012 at 3:07 UTC
Id lean more towards Android as there are a lot of free apps for managing networks etc... Im sure iOS has some to but last time I was looking I found Android to be the winner. Your best bet though would be to have a gander at the current offerings on both.
Maybe go down to your local store and play around on a couple and see which you prefer.
At the end of the day your going to be able to good stuff on either, so its going to come down to price and preference.
You could always get an ultra book and get some real work done ;)
May 10, 2012 at 3:38 UTC
thanks for the ideas and i think Android is the right one but will run a test on both ipad and Android
May 10, 2012 at 4:18 UTC
If your shopping check this one out:
Its about £400, which is a bargain, as its got a keyboard dock, 15 hours battery life and the latest tegra 3
May 10, 2012 at 5:00 UTC
Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab, but the ASUS Transformer looks good ;-)
See this similar topic: http:/
If I would buy a Galaxy Tab, I would wait for this summer and where the Tab2 comes ...
May 15, 2012 at 7:57 UTC
I love my asus Transformer TF101
May 16, 2012 at 1:51 UTC
May I humbly put forth the Toshiba Thrive, full size SDHC card support, full size & Mini USB socket [host mode] so you can plug a thumb drive / external HDD straight into it. It also has full size HDMI port [cannot remember max output resolution] and a media dock is available for docking with outputs. The biggest thing for me though is the accessible & changeable battery. Battery life is very good, varies depending on what you are doing of course but normally lasts me a day of heavy usage [video / netflix etc] but on standby it lasts for days.
The camera & mic are just meh, can do Skype but not that well. The screen is pretty shiny so outdoors in sunlight it is hard to see, acts like a mirror. A lot of the screen protectors you can get for it are a matte finish so that solves that somewhat.
I wish there was a way to plug a USB NIC into it, I would love to have it on an Ethernet connection.
May 16, 2012 at 1:55 UTC
I'm leaning for towards Ultra Book for myself rather than a tablet...
primarily for DVD-Rom / Ethernet / Keyboard...
Technical staff depending on what they're doing can use a tablet but if they need to test connections and quickly diagnose network issues Ethernet jack & Keyboard are huge...
But echo ByteSnake as well:
The SpiceworksMobileHD will run at iOS (5.x) and Android (3.2 and 4.0).
So it depends to your environment if you want to use iPads or aPads.
I prefer the Androids (because I have already an Android phone) ;-)
Other people may prefer the Apples (because they have iPhones).

Ten of Attleborough Academy's science sixth formers (accompanied by Mr Seymour, Mrs Edwards and Dr Elias) went on a visit to UEA to go to a lecture on antibiotics in animals and nature, by Professor Matt Hutchings. This lecture was a fascinating insight into zoology, genetics, biology, chemistry and medicine. It not only covered how antibiotics were discovered but also problems of antibiotic resistance and how new antibiotics are being researched from various sources including from bacteria that live on leaf-cutter ants to bacteria that live in the deserts. In addition, genetics to engineer bacteria with new CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to make new antibiotics was discussed. Students gave feedback that this lecture was interesting and a good insight into what life as a university student will look like in terms of being in a lecture.

After a long shower I put on some sweats and started to plan out Terry's birthday. The piercing was the best idea I had. Dinner out stilled seemed rather lame. Maybe I could take him to a strip show and get him a lap dance? Sounded fun but getting in was a problem, he had ID but I was still way to young to get in and without an ID it was rather hopeless.
Terry sent a text and wanted to do something when he got home. It was really nice that he sent a text first. Lately I had been the one sending the texts. Time to get him a birthday card.
Finding a birthday card sucks. There are hundreds of options and most are so sappy and sweet and sick, or girly. Going with a funny card, maybe a hot stud on the front of a serious card, I had trouble deciding. Realizing time was short I went with a simple card that had a picture of a beach with two lounge chairs on it facing the ocean. Inside it had a simple message, You, Me as far as the eye can see. Sure it was hokey but it was the closet to how I felt about him.
Stopping for some flowers I went home. Jude was back from work and getting ready to hit the gym. Showing him the card and flowers and telling him about my gift he smiled. "I think he will like it Sam." He patted me on the head and left. Patted me on the head? Was I a puppy?
Changing into a nice outfit I left for Terry's place. His face was honest, pure surprise when I handed him the flowers. He hesitated before opening the card. After reading it he leaned in and kissed me. "I haven't been given a birthday card in about ten years. Thanks, I love you."
"I love you too. Now for your gift. It took some thinking but what I want to give you can't be wrapped. It can't be returned and it can't be given away. You have mentioned wanting a piercing and for your birthday, if you want it, I will buy you a piercing."
A smile broke on his face. "Seriously Sam? Really? I love it! Yes I want one!"
He gave me a big hug and whispered in my ear, "It's a perfect gift Sam."
"You don't know how happy I am you like it. Now we can go to dinner first or get your gift?"
"Now! Let's go now, I can hardly wait!" He was so eager and excited I felt like a little kid.
Off we went. Terry knew which place he wanted to go and the entire time he talked about where he wanted it. "I would love an Albert but that means I can't fuck you tonight so how about a nipple?"
"Nipple it is!"
The guy helping us was dressed neatly, he had multiple piercings we could see and smiled when we told him it was a birthday gift. "In that case, the second one is half price." He winked.
"Sam? Do you want one or can I get both nipples?"
"It's your birthday, get them both done." I felt so good seeing him so happy.
After the business end of things we went back into the room. Terry took off his shirt and sat back. The guy was professional the entire time and it didn't take long before Terry had a ring in his left nipple and a little barbell in the right.
Dinner was at a nicer restaurant than we normally go to but worth every penny. The server was cute, nice body and female. It was fitting. A hot stud would have lead me to thinking about his cock and tonight I wanted to be all about Terry.
The conversation was easy. We didn't talk much about Terry's past or our escort days. He told me about what he wanted to be when he grew up and how that had changed. Now he wanted to go back to school, get his GED and then to community college. Eventually he wanted to graduate from the University. His goal was to become a dentist! It was not even close to what I would have guessed. When I asked why he was interested in dentistry he replied it was because a great smile was important. Straight white teeth made a person look happy and all the really happy people he knew had great smiles.
Back at Terry's we had some very hot and passionate sex. It wasn't easy to ignore his nipples but I did my best. He was smart to think about how an Albert would have meant no fucking for a while. That night Terry fell asleep in my arms. He said it was the first time anyone had done anything for him on his birthday. Hearing it made me feel good and terrible at the same time. Twenty years old and he had been ignored on his birthday most of his life. As he slept I looked at him and vowed to make sure he had wonderful birthdays for the rest of his life. What was I thinking? For the rest of his life? Was I ready to settle down and stay with him forever?
After a nice breakfast at the café down the street Terry took off to get his GED schooling lined up. At home I quickly changed and left for the gym. Timothy was already there and sweating. He was so gorgeous, how come guys weren't hitting on him? Skipping my treadmill I stretched and went over to lift by Timothy. "Timothy, how come the guys leave you alone?"
"Sam, that is a long story but the snapshot is they know I have my Master and trying is futile." He smiled at me.
"So they just leave you alone?"
It was a short answer but it made sense I guess. We stayed with each other while lifting. Timothy could use more weight than I but he was a great workout partner, slow, steady and concentrating on form. He would coach me and spot as needed. Seeing his body up close while working out really cemented my desire to keep at it and try even harder. There were already improvements in my body and I was feeling anxious to get even better definition and build muscle. I wanted to look amazing when I was naked.
The entire workout was without interruption, meaning, not one guy came up to me to chat. Wade and Ben were both there but stayed away. It didn't make sense to me but I let it go. When we finished I showered. Timothy didn't which was unusual. We did grab a smoothie for the walk back to the loft. Master was waiting for me.
Following the routine Timothy entered the building first; I waited the five minutes and then made my way to the loft. The door was slightly open. Inside it was quiet. Every time I had entered on my own like this I felt nervous. The first time it was because of the sex, but now it was because I didn't know who was inside. Timothy and Master were there, but was there anyone else? At this point I expected that there would be a video camera, I may not see it but the chances were high that Master would bring one out.
The spot he wanted me to stand and wait for him had the familiar mat. Next to it was a chair for my clothing. Along side the chair was a small table with a blindfold, wrist cuffs, ankle cuffs, cock ring and nipple clamps, the standard set up. This time there was also a small chain with clasps on it lying between the wrist cuffs. Evidently he wanted me to cuff and secure my own hands behind my back. Lying across the table was a wooden stick that had been painted black. It had some clasps attached to each end. I assumed he wanted that between my ankles. As I got dressed in the items I notice a pair of earplugs.
After putting all the items in place I was ready to attach the blindfold and then secure my hands. My heart was beating loudly. I swear it was audible. Once I was finished I stood and waited. Not being able to see or hear time went very slowly. The anticipation was terrific. My cock was hard as hell and I am sure it was already leaking some pre cum.
How long I really stood there waiting I will never know. It felt like half an hour but considering Master liked to keep the session to ninety minutes he wouldn't waste that much time. What I do know is it was long enough for me to have trouble keeping my balance. Without vision or sound standing up is not easy, and having my feet trapped about two feet apart and my arms behind my back it was a challenge. I felt weak.
Then it happened. I felt a wad of spit hit my face. Jolting upright I stood waiting for what was next. Master was there and I was to please him. The chain between the clamps was tugged. I tried not to yelp. Repeatedly someone tugged at the chain. A hand roughly grabbed my balls, also causing me to jump and pulled them down hard enough my knees bent to easy the tug. Something was wrapped about my sack, a ball sack stretcher of some sort. The hand released my balls. My nipples were left alone. A hand groped my ass. My body was being felt up. Nipples pulled, cock slapped and my balls patted.
Funny thing having someone gently pat your balls when you are bound up and rather helpless, they become very sensitive. And having the sack pulled away from your body and the balls firmly in place they are even more sensitive. The rough handling of my body ended.
Once again I jumped as a hand smacked my dick. It took a lot of self-control not to make any sound. Master didn't want to hear me whining. The hands once again began to grope my body. After a few minutes it stopped. Standing still I waited for the next assault, my cock hard and dripping. There was no way to stop my body from showing how turned on this was making me.
My ass received a rather hard slap. I stumbled forward and was spanked again. This time I fell forward and landed on a sort of hump that had been placed in front of me. It was perfectly placed to hit my lower abs and wide enough I could lean on it. The hands once again groped me. Each time it was rougher, harder. The pinching and pulled and grabbing of my flesh by hands that were large and strong.
This time the hands moved down my legs and removed the stick between them. My ankles were then hooked up to the legs of the apparatus I was resting on. My wrists were released and reattached to the front legs. I couldn't move. Nothing happened. I waited, breathing deeply, heart pounding, dick leaking and so horny I was ready to beg Master to fuck me. I didn't.
A hand grabbed my hair and raised my head. Of course this resulted in my mouth opening and a cock being feed to me. Naturally I went immediately into cocksucking mode and began to suck on the thick cock. It was pulled away from me. I opened my mouth, covered my teeth and stuck out my tongue to receive the cock again. A pair of hands grabbed my head, the cock was once again pushed into my mouth and Master began to fuck my face. Gagging from time to time, spit running down my chin, I did my best to accommodate the face fuck. It turned me on wickedly.
The cock was pulled out, the hands released my hand and a moment later I left the hands grab my ass. A pair of large strong hands pulled your cheeks apart is a rather distinct feeling. Masters goatee rubbed my crack. His tongue entered my hole and he ate my ass. The entire time he was rubbing his goatee with force. Moaning the entire time, I was unable to remain silent.
He moved his face and still holding my ass open I felt him slide his cock up along my crack. "Fuck me please Sir!"
Damn. I had broken one of his rules. The cock left my crack and the hands released my cheeks. A moment later the spanking began. At first the slaps weren't too hard but the gradually increased in pressure. Trying to count I lost track about sixty. There was pain involved, something Master had not delivered in the past. Then again, I had not disobeyed his rules in a while.
After the spanking ended his hands grabbed my ass, spread my cheeks and I felt a very lubed up cock push into my hole. Slowly, gradually building up speed, thrust and vigor he fucked me. The pain was the good kind. My cock was once again hard and I felt my eyes rolling back. How I had learned to love a hard pounding. Getting into the feeling of hot friction as a thick cock violates your hole I was in that place of bliss. Of course it ends, the cock is removed from my hole and a moment later I feel the splash of warm cum on my back. Master was happy.
Regaining my breath I waited. Hands grabbed my head and pulled it up. Opening my mouth I felt a cock enter it. It was hard. It had a bend in it. It wasn't as thick as the last one but longer. Had Master just used me? This was not his cock? Unable to figure it out I had to focus on the cock in my mouth at the moment. Slowly the momentum grew until once again I was being face fucked. Gagging, drooling and coughing I tried to relax but this cock was challenging my skills. Wanting to make Master happy I put every ounce of effort into taking the cock as the owner wanted.
As soon as I got into a rhythm the cock pulled away. Figuring what was next I relaxed my ass. Hands on my cheeks, a pull and a thrust the entire length went in to the bush. I yelled. I knew I would be punished for it but I couldn't help it. Forcefully the owner of the cock took over my ass. It was impossible to keep quiet. My failure to do so was taken care of. Another pair of hands grabbed my head, positioned it and I had another cock shoved into my open mouth.
This cock was as thick as the first one and as long as the second one. It wasn't curved thankfully but it had a very large head on it. My ass was pounded, the pain was now pleasure and my face was being fucked with a force to equal it. Not being able to do anything, even move. I did everything I could to receive what I needed to consider a gift. Breathing deep and pacing my breaths I was able to relax and get into a rhythm.
The owners of these two wonderful cocks got into a rhythm as well and I felt like we were a machine moving in synch. The cock in my ass pulled out and the load of man juice hit my back. That feeling made me smile, as much as I could smile while having a cock fill my throat. That cock soon was taken away and I felt the hands grab my ass. Slowly he slid his cock in. Gasping I was thankful that Master started with what would be considered the smallest of the three cocks. Considering the action my hole had been receiving I didn't expect to feel such a stretch as he worked in all the way in.
Slowly he built up speed. Once he found a nice steady pace he pulled out entirely and then re-entered. He continued this rather rough yet incredibly hot fuck for some time. My gasps were as quiet as possible with each return to my hole. Finally he left his cock inside and began moving his hips and cock inside of me. This was a very different feeling than just having a cock going in and out. It was incredible. He stopped, pulled out and his load was added to the two still on my back.

It is very common for someone to experience pain in their teeth or jaw if they fly shortly after root-canal therapy. The difference in air pressure can cause gases to build up inside the teeth and cause pain. I recommend waiting at least five to seven days to make sure there is no postoperative pain before getting on a plane. If the root canal is free of bacterial infection and any pain has been eliminated or minimized, then it is usually fine to fly.
The trouble and pressure in your ears, however, may not be related to your teeth; this issue may actually be caused by an inner-ear problem. While it is rare for an earache to cause tooth pain, there are always exceptions. It is more likely, however, that tooth pain in the lower jaw might feel like there is ear involvement.
My advice is to report back to the dentist who performed the root-canal treatment and put in the temporary crowns. The success of the procedure and final restorations should then be evaluated. If they check out fine and there is no dental issue, then I would go see an internist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physician who can analyze whether your problems might be related to your inner ear or even to something else.
