Simulator helps Kennebunk students learn about distracted driving
High school using computer program to teach kids about driving dangers
A driving simulator is helping Kennebunk High School students learn about the dangers of distracted driving.
Video: Students use driving simulator
It might not be the real thing, but police said it's better to learn by using a computer simulator than being in real danger from situations such as texting while driving a car.
"Kids all have cellphones, people are out on the roadways using them," said Mark Carney, resource officer at Kennebunk High. "If we can start early with these kids and teach them the dangers of divided attention driving or distracted driving, then we are going to be ahead of the game."
The simulator was obtained through a federal grant and is at the school for the week. The computer forces drivers to work through situations such as being pulled over by a police officer, causing an accident or failing a sobriety test.
"A lot of kids have tried it and have been crashing," said Austin Sandler, a senior at Kennebunk High. "It's not as easy as it looks. It's not like some race car video. It is real life, pretty intense."
Some of the students don't have their licenses, let alone a permit, like freshman Charlie Vermette.
"Texting and driving is actually hard," Vermette said. "It gets your eyes off the road."
Some of the students said using the simulator sent a powerful message that they'll remember when they get behind the wheel for real.
"Yes, definitely. I am never going to drink and drive or text and drive," said Jacob Hill, a freshman.

Many studies have found that one of the benefits of roundabout installation is the improvement in overall safety performance. Several studies in the U.S., Europe, and Australia have found that roundabouts perform better in terms of safety than other intersection forms. In particular, single–lane roundabouts have been found to perform better than two–way stop–controlled intersections in the U.S. Although the frequency of reported crashes is not always lower at roundabouts, reduced injury rates are typical. Safety is typically better at small and medium capacity roundabouts than at large or multilane roundabouts. While overall crash frequencies have been reduced, the crash reductions are most pronounced for motor vehicles, less pronounced for pedestrians, and mixed for bicyclists depending on the study and bicycle design treatments.
Why do roundabouts have such a good safety record?
- Conflicts are reduced. Roundabouts have fewer conflict points in comparison to conventional intersections. The potential for hazardous conflicts, such as right angle and left turn head–on crashes is eliminated with roundabout use. Single–lane approach roundabouts produce greater safety benefits than multi–lane approaches because of fewer potential conflicts between road users, and because pedestrian crossing distances are short.
- Speeds are reduced and are more consistent. Low absolute speeds associated with roundabouts allow drivers more time to react to potential conflicts, also helping to improve the safety performance of roundabouts. Since most road users travel at similar speeds through roundabouts, i.e., have low relative speeds, crash severity can be reduced compared to some traditionally controlled intersections.
- Pedestrians cross one direction of traffic at a time. Pedestrians need only cross one direction of traffic at a time at each approach as they traverse roundabouts, as compared with two–way and all–way stop–controlled intersections. The conflict locations between vehicles and pedestrians are generally not affected by the presence of a roundabout, although conflicting vehicles come from a more defined path at roundabouts (and thus pedestrians have fewer places to check for conflicting vehicles). In addition, the speeds of motorists entering and exiting a roundabout are reduced with good design. As with other crossings requiring acceptance of gaps, roundabouts still present visually impaired pedestrians with unique challenges.
That said, roundabouts are not always safer than other alternatives:
- For multilane roundabouts, bicycle safety at roundabouts has been found to be poorer than at other intersections unless separate bicycle or multi–use paths are provided around the outside of the roundabout.
- Pedestrians, especially visually impaired or blind pedestrians, can have difficulty when trying to judge gaps in traffic across entries or exits with more than one lane.

The eraser works that way as well, however, the eraser tool isn't automatically selected in Gimp when you use the pen eraser. In other words, it doesn't select the background color, but continues in the selected color, with the paintbrush cursor. Maybe that's how Gimp works? Or maybe it's a matter of setting the extended input device?
You set the function for each end and then it gets remembered..ie use the eraser then choose eraser tool then it should stay that way.....handy as the mouse can be set to a different tool to the pen.
xournal ^ works nicely with tablets too
Thank you again Pizzasgood for all your work with this. You've made a lot of people happy in this thread!

I added a package to the first page that includes just the xorg driver, without the kernel module, so that people who would prefer not to (or shouldn't) change the kernel module don't need to.

Are you sure about that, pizzasgood?
Maybe you tested it against a 412retro, and in that case apologies for this foolish note, but if not, and you went on what I did....I am not proof of it, since I DID add and load your wacom driver module, as well as the recompiled GTK, in my own system when it finally started working.
That's not to say that it wouldn't have worked
adding the driver module -- and have been able to use the pre-existing Wacom module that ships with 4.1.2. I just never tried it that way.
At present my system always has the wacom driver working,
but does not
show a wacom driver anywhere in the Puppy Bootmanager. It is not addable there, or removable there. It does not exist in any of the Bootmanager's lists.
It did formerly.
I'm not complaining -- it works fine, and I can't think of a reason I'd ever want to remove it.
@MikeB thanks for the advice -- it works correctly as an eraser in Gimp, now that I know how to set it up. Thanks also for that cool program
! Very nice.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get the eraser end to work distinctly from the point end in that program, but this is a pretty trivial nitpicking observation. I mention it only in case you happen to know of the way to do it there as well. It's not very important.
Also, if you could tell me how to improve my handwriting......

Went to
when I first tried the program, but "Eraser Tip" makes no difference one way or another. The eraser end of the stylus works whether checked or unchecked, and does exactly the same thing as the pointy end.
No big deal, really. I just thought maybe there was another setting or technique (as in Gimp) to get it to work separately.
The problem may just be the fact that I have an older pad....
re. handwriting -- I was joking of course. But thinking about it, there is a serious component:
1.) The scaling of movement on the pad is not adjustable to the screen movement. If I write my signature on the pad I must restrict the size of it to a tiny signature. This is blown up on the screen, and so inaccuracies of movement are exaggerated. Zooming the page onscreen does not change the relative scaling of pen movement to screen, it only changes the relative size of the page onscreen. Therefore to get a closer approximation you would have to zoom IN. This is like trying to write with a magnifying glass which only allows you to see a small window of the paper, and blows up your movements.
and much more important:
2.) In general in Linux implementation for the drivers:
As I recall in the Windows drivers, the pad used absolute coordinates for positioning and this related directly to the screen. So if you placed the stylus from far away to any position on the pad, it would appear in the same relative position on the screen rectangle.
In Linux drivers, if I place the stylus on the pad from far away, the results are mixed. It may show up in a few different places. This seems to happen most when coming in from the lower right edge to middle right edge.
The subsequent moves work in good relative proportion once the cursor is established onscreen, but I find you can run off of the pad before reaching the border of a window or screen while drawing.
This means I have to reposition. That is difficult because I can't bring the cursor in necessarily where you want it. I find myself waving my hand around trying to find a place to come in that will allow me to reach a spot. Usually the upper left is a problem area to reach.
The positioning of the Windows drivers is a lot better than the somewhat arbitrary relative positioning I seem to get with the linux drivers. In Windows, the cursor was always in the same relative position on the screen as on the pad.
I wonder if anyone else has noticed this?
It reminds me a little of what happens when you get xorg or xvesa wrong in setup and find that the screen contents are visible but partially wrapped around to the other side.
In the case of the pad, perhaps this is going on with the bottom of the pad area.
This problem may also be specific to monitor resolution (since a translation has to be calculated by the pad driver to locate the cursor) or my older pad may be incorrectly supported by the linux drivers. So maybe this doesn't happen for everyone. My monitor is set to 1024 x 768 pixels x 24bit xorg

More observations:
I think I understand the mechanism of pad to cursor location a little better now. I'm intuiting the following from behavior-- I don't know what the code looks like
In the linux driver the pad is seen as a much larger coordinate plane (in pixels) than my screen (1024 x 768). Instead of calculating the proportional position of the cursor onscreen, a simple one-for-one pixel map is generated. This pixel map is moveable across the pad according to certain rules.
If a cursor is moved to one edge of the screen and stylus movement continues on the pad in the same direction, the pixel map is moved in the direction of the stylus. Backing the stylus up immediately moves the cursor back into the pixel map and the cursor moves with it.
Continuing in that direction, the cursor will eventually reach the other screen edge, well before the stylus has reached the edge of the pad. There will appear to be a "dead" area" of stylus movement. If movement continues, the pixel map will shift in the direction of stylus movement.
Removing the stylus from the pad will result in a re-location for the pixel map to an indeterminate position -- it may be affected by a default location, the last cursor exit position, or other pointing devices also mapped to the system. I don't know which, or if all are involved.
I'm going to say this is definitely a function of the drivers -- the basic algorithm seems to have avoided using absolute coordinate calculation for positioning the screen cursor, and relies on a much simpler moveable pixel map.
Some users with screen resolutions that nearly match the pad resolution (or possibly even multiples) will probably have near absolute positioning, while others with less fortunate proportions might find more of a problem.
The problem will be less of a hangup for users who write or sketch, or use it to do mouse pointing. It will be a definite problem for CAD and technical illustrators (if they are used to better stylus action in Windows).
The Wacom Intuit3 large pads have an available digitizing mouse with a crosshair, and I'm willing to bet this won't work properly, unless these pads have better Linux drivers.

Well, after all of that investigation and explanation, I found that my system had reverted to the old mode. Apparently if I don't have the pad plugged in at boot, the old driver dominates.
The new drivers do seem to have absolute positioning, so my above two posts all apply to the old wacom drivers. Even the comments about the eraser tip in Xournal, and the relative handwriting size!
The pad can be started properly only if plugged in at boot, or by restarting the X-server with it plugged in. It doesn't work to enter "modprobe wacom" in the terminal with the pad connected.
It would be nice to be able to avoid program or OS resets to get the pad going. Or keep the driver loaded even after unplugging, so that re-plugging would work.

pad cannot be hotplugged with X and without the X driver performance is not really suitable. ctrl-alt-f3 then ctrl-alt-f1 is a quicker way to reset X.
We leave ours plugged in all the time and i think the X driver loads the kernel driver automatically.

Not sure what was going on on your end. On mine, the packaged kernel module didn't work in 4.12retro, but the built-in kernel module did. So all I needed was the Xorg driver.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on at my end either. Not just in relation to this. I'm thinking it might be clean install time. This one was a "downgrade" about a month ago from a non-retro 4.1.2 to the retro version. Did it by pfix=purge.
Probably not the best idea. And I've done a
of experimenting since. So maybe it's time for a fresh clean start. So I'm on a level playing field.
The pad is working fine. So well, in fact that I'm springing for the big time. Intuos3 12"x19" That cost will set me back more than any computer I've ever owned -- by a factor of two. But I'm going to start designing again -- this whole thing with Puppy Linux and your work, Pizzasgood with the pad, has re-energized me. I have a lot of things I want to draw now, and that will allow it at full scale, with drafting curves. I can also digitize off of old drawings I have with it. So thanks again for all you did.

Post subject: bamboo fun
Here is how I configured Puppy Linux 4.12 to use my Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet:
plug in pad
install wacom_k18.104.22.168.pet (for kernel 184.108.40.206)
in terminal: modprobe wacom
add to xorg.conf:
(appropriate lines from linux wacom project input dev and srv layout)
NOTE: add these to appropiate sections of xorg.conf. Sticking them down at the bottom doesn't work.
do cat /proc/bus/input/devices
to identify event number
alter xorg entries above to correct event number if necessary
if necessary make new nodes:
I did need to make a new node - event number 5.
Now it acts like a mouse.
install gtk+-2.12.1-xinput-debug.pet
Now Gimp recognizes it as an input device.
Configure Gimp.
Now it's a whole beautiful groove thing!
Thanks to Pizzasgood and everyone else here.
It does appear that the pad must be plugged in before puppy boots. Also, I'm getting an error message about udevd at shutdown. I can't quite catch what it says. Is this related to the tablet? Is it ignorable?

I don't think I've seen any udevd errors, but I haven't been paying much attention to the shutdown process. Usually I just click "poweroff" and then climb into bed.
I do know that udev should be configurable to allow us to skip fiddling with the event devices and just use something like /dev/wacom. I have been meaning to look into that for over a month now, but I've been pretty swamped. I'll try to do it next time I have some free time.

X does not do hotplugging....there is a workaround mentioned earlier in this thread.
The latest test version of X does but will be a while before puppy uses it.
Ignore udevd ...it's the only way

So… it seems that all I post lately are Friday Finds.
Honestly, they're all I have time for right now. Last week I was in Miami looking for a house, this week I'm packing. I'm still trying to NaNo but it's going abysmally (as expected). I may just shelve this WIP and start something new in December.
What? I can do that, right? (I totally don't need your permission! Right?)
So this week I've got some real interesting links for Friday Finds. As always, I try to keep them writing related… mostly.
- Author Ken Liu swept the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards this year. Read a "A Paper Menagerie" by this amazing author here, via io9.
- As someone who is hoping to some day make that transition from ""working stiff that writes" to "full-time writer", I'm fascinated by how "for real" authors spend their days. Kurt Vonnegut liked to watch heart-breaking movies and Gretchen McNeil (author of the YA horror novels) writes in bed.
- Lies writer's tell themselves. I'm particularly susceptible to nos. 1, 4, 5, 13 (I obsessively check), and 18.
- Chuck Wendig, book author and Terrible Minds blog curator, wrote an excellent post in response to yet more "fake geek girl" bashing by… geeks. Let's be inclusive rather than exclusive, people!
- Something I think about a lot, both because I have young male cousins and because I am writing a book with a male main character, is the role of masculinity in literature. Malinda Lo, author of Ash, wrote an excellent response to an article by Sarah Mesle (currently a Mellon Fellow in English at UCLA)–Mesle contends that the male in YA literature is "endangered."
- 31 debut authors offer some wise words of wisdom.
- Write a first book is hard (can I get an amen up in here?). Author Holly Black offers some words of encouragement.
- A hero's goals shouldn't–can't–be a mystery. Matt Bird breaks down some awesome movies as really compelling evidence as to how to make your hero's (or heroine's) goals obvious.
- I don't read or write poetry but have IMMENSE respect for those who do. All of the poets in my MFA program has a far better grasp on how to make words work for them (color me envious) than I or any of my non-poetry writing cohort mates ever would. This article on the influence of Civil War poetry pretty much sums up why poetry rocks. You should go out and read some. Today.
- James Bond's Skyfall villian's lair is real. It is abandoned and AWESOME.
- So… how many of you would try to find the owner of $20,000 if you, ya know, "just found it" in a used book? And also… great reason to get thee to your local used book store!
- Some wise words from author Laini Taylor (Daughter of Smoke and Bone). These are probably the most real words of wisdom and advice I've ever run across–and so easily applied to one's OWN writing!
- Last but not least, with Thanksgiving around the corner how about some pie? Check out Jane Austen's apple pie recipe!
There you have it, friends. Some fine Friday Finds!

Walking, floating, flying cities always seem like a good idea, until someone has to live there. Jalopnik readers know ten amazingly cool-looking future cities that are actually pretty awful.
Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
There are so many failed visions of cities, from crazed architects, crazed hippies, crazed urban planners, and crazed megalomaniac dictators that we couldn't nearly fit them all into one list.
We tried to focus at least on ideas that thankfully never made it past the prototype stage, but there are tons of miserable failed cities and suburban developments, as well as utopian societies, that we didn't have room to include.
Let us know in Kinja below what completely unhinged urban developments got built and are now causing their inhabitants the suffering of architectural visions run amok.

10.) Metropolis
Pros: glowing skyways, streamlined cars, and gardens of sheer opulence. Cons: all of the skyways, streamliners, and gardens of sheer opulence are run by poor workers living in the dark ground floors, getting fed alive to monstrous factory machines.

9.) Buckminster Fuller's Cloud Nine
Self-contained cities always seem to work out so well (psst —no they don't), so let's have them floating in the sky where long-distance vacations/travel of any kind/escape from the hell of a floating prison city is impossible. Thanks, Bucky Fuller.

8.) Future New York, Circa 1929, Part 1
If you give an architect the freedom to draw whatever the hell he wants in 1929, you end up with something like Hugh Ferriss' 1929 proposal The Metropolis of Tomorrow. All buildings are gigantic skyscrapers, while humans scurry about like ants on wide, car-centric boulevards. But who cares? Apartments on bridges look cool.

7.) Future New York, Circa 1929, Part 2
The 1929 issue of Science Wonder featured this design called "The Cubic City." It proposed replacing all of New York City with a single cubic skyscraper two miles wide and two miles tall. Sure it had spiffy zeppelin moorings and a carrying capacity of eighty million, but the views on the inside apartments were terrible.

6.) Biosphere 2
It was supposed to be a microcosm of all Earth, perfect for conduction groundbreaking scientific research. In the end, it's a big greenhouse.

5.) Minority Report
It looks awesome to have cars driving up the sides of buildings, until you realize what it would be like to live in one of those apartments. Imagine living underneath I-80.
Suggested By: RandomArt, Photo Credit: Minority Report/Twentieth Century Fox
4.) Arcosanti
Since nobody learned from the failure of Utopian societies in the mid to late 1800s like Octagon City, a few crazy post-hippies set up their own utopian eco-society called Arcosanti in the Arizona desert. They're not all dead, which is a good thing, but they haven't really made any impact on the world at large.
Suggested By: ninjagin, Photo Credit: Steve Minor
3.) Germania
Hitler and his architect Albert Speer's vision of future Berlin stalled when the engineers figured out that their proposed concrete mega-buildings would be so heavy that they would actually sink into the ground.
Suggested By: G8powered, Photo Credit: German Federal Archives
2.) Brasília
If someone proposes to you a utopian city built out of lots and lots of concrete, point them to Brasília, the severe, jet-age, relocated capital of Brazil. It looks more like the future in Terry Gilliam's Brazil than in the real-world Brazil.
Suggested By: Matt Hardigree, Photo Credit: Steve Evans
1.) Le Corbusier's Paris
Le Corbusier's Plan Voisin seemed fresh and modern, with people living gigantic, uniform, clean skyscrapers. In actuality, it meant basically bulldozing just about every cultural landmark in Paris and replacing them with public housing.

Once you have executed a contract to purchase a home, you can expect to be provided with a Property Disclosure Statement from the seller, which contains all information material to the sale of the property. At HomeSmart Connect, we ask you to read through it carefully. We consult with you, and encourage any questions.
In general, as a buyer, you are entitled to conduct a series of inspections on the property that you are about to purchase.
Some of the items typically investigated during an inspection are: appliances, plumbing, A/C, heating, electrical, structure, foundation, roof and attic. If you have concerns in areas such as indoor air quality, expansive soil conditions, previous fire or flood, pests and mold, you can ask your inspector about them.
If you are obtaining a loan, your lender may require specific inspections, such as an inspection to certify that the home is free of wood-destroying organisms.
Additional inspections that you may want to consider are: a survey to determine where property lines are located, and a claims report, which gives buyers the past insurance claim history on the property (a factor which can affect the cost of you homeowner's insurance).
In addition to formal inspections, buyers should consider other methods of obtaining information about the property. For example, talk to the neighbors and drive around the neighborhood during different times of day. In touring the neighborhood, consider things such as proximity to freeways, airports and schools.
When you partner with us at HomeSmart Connect, we recommend that you choose a home inspector that is certified by a trade association.
We can also provide you with resources for obtaining information on crime statistics, city planning and zoning, school information and environmental concerns which may affect your decision to purchase.
Don't go it alone! Let's talk soon if you are considering buying your next home.
Remember...it's a Smart Move with HomeSmart!

- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110?F)
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour plus more if necessary
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- In a large bowl combine yeast with water, olive oil, salt and stir well to proof. After 5 minutes, add half of the flour and mix well to thoroughly incorporate. Add all remaining flour except 1/2 cup and mix well with your hands. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead dough for at least 5 and up to 7 minutes, adding enough additional flour as necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough. Dough should not be sticky. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled 2 or 3 quart bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, usually at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 500ºF and if you have one, place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven.
- Divide dough into 2 portions (for two 12-inch pizzas) and form into balls. (See note below for calzones.) Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to a lightly floured surface, shape as desired and roll out to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Transfer dough to a pizza peel and top with toppings of choice. Transfer to the preheated pizza stone and bake until crispy and golden brown, usually12 to 18 minutes (depending on the toppings). Remove from the oven with a metal peel or spatula and serve immediately.
- Note: For calzones, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and form into 4 balls. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll out into 4 6-inch circles. Place filling of choice in the center of one side of each circle, then fold dough over filling to meet edges of filled side. Crimp edges with a fork or your fingers, then cut a small slit in the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape while cooking. Cook on a preheated pizza stone in a preheated 475ºF oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until well-browned. Remove from the oven with a metal peel or spatula and serve immediately.

The German Oceanographic Museum and Ozeaneum in Stralsund invite visitors to the lively examination of the underwater world through modern aquariums and exhibitions.
The Oceanographic Museum, which is located in the heart of the World Heritage Town of Stralsund, is the oldest site of the German Oceanographic Museum's foundation and accommodates exhibitions of marine science, biodiversity as well as the themes whales, coral reefs and fishery. Numerous interesting exhibits, valuable information and several dissected marine animals will await you here. Furthermore, 36 lovingly designed aquariums allow you a glimpse into the habitats of both the tropes and the Mediterranean. With a capacity of 350000 liters, the turtle pool is one of the largest of its kind in Germany and would be well worth visiting in its own right.
The OZEANEUM is the fourth and newest location of the German Oceanographic Museum's foundation. Besides spectacular architecture with a façade of white ship steel, visitors can experience the world's biggest exhibition on whales, including reproductions of the maritime giants in their original size. A total of 50, partly enormous, saltwater aquariums as well as five modern expositions take you on an extraordinary journey through the underwater world of the northern seas. Further highlights during the tour are, amongst others, an experience exhibition for children, a spacious penguin enclosure on the rooftop, but also Europe's biggest Baltic Sea exposition.
In 2018, the OZEANEUM celebrates its 10th anniversary. For this purpose, the largest aquarium "Open Atlantic" was redesigned. Behind a 50 m² tall wraparound windshield, shoals, rays and sharks can be observed. Also, a real eye-catcher is the faithfully reproduced, almost eleven meter long shipwreck, which serves as living space for the fishes.
Another novelty are the natural models of a narwhal couple in the museum's foyer. This whale species, which grows about 5 meter long and has a strongly extended tusk, enlarges the world's largest whale exposition "1:1 Giants of the Sea" in the OZEANEUM. Here, you can find impressive, original sized models of blue, humpback and sperm whales, as well as orcas.

Heavenly Minded Mom
Posted April 13, 2018on:

Today I have the privilege of sharing with you about a brand new devotional book for moms. It's called Heavenly Minded Mom and is written by Katie Bennett of the blog Embracing A Simpler Life.
As moms, we become overwhelmed so easily. We try to live up to the standards of those moms around us who we think have it all together and do this parenting thing better than we do. We are easily dragged down by our circumstances and situations. We become tired and weary, desperately trying to find something to cling to that will give us more strength and help us through each day.
Katie puts it this way,
"The lives of moms are all too often consumed with wearisome, empty striving. We work to keep up appearances, meet worldly standards, and find satisfaction in the offerings of this life such as success, admiration, and ease. However, God has set eternity in a mother's heart, and deep inside, we long for more."
We desperately need encouragement in our lives. And we need to make sure we look for it in the right place. Heavenly Minded Mom is perfect for those of us who are seeking encouragement and to grow spiritually. It is an uplifting book filled with scripture from throughout the Bible and specifically words of wisdom from the book of Ecclesiastes. Each day has a devotional dripping with wisdom and encouragement and is followed by scripture references and thought-provoking questions to enable the reader to reflect on what they've read and journal their thoughts.
Heavenly Minded Mom is split up into three sequential 30-day sections. The first section is designed to "open your eyes to the meaninglessness of the things we too often wrongfully align our hearts with and devote our lives to." This section will help you realize what idols you (unintentionally) set up in your life. You may not even realize some of these things have become idols in your life. I love what Katie says in her section called The Idol of Results. She states,
"I watched as my children…grew out of their seemingly innocent baby stages and began grappling with a startlingly rebelious nature…In these, and in so many other ways, we weren't 'there' yet…All of these were an increasing source of frustration and failure in my life. And thus God began to open my eyes to see that I was living for success and results rather than embracing the journey with all its struggles."
I have most definitely caught myself in that same position time and time again and can most definitely relate to Katie's situation. Katie also talks about the idols of motherhood, human wisdom, the American Dream, Fairness, and more. Some of these were things I had never thought of as an idol in my life, but in reading this book, God opened my eyes to the realization that some of the areas she touches on are things I've made idols. Katie's words helped me realize some changes I need to make in my life.
The second 30 days of the devotional "Will further cultivate your eternal perspective by demonstrating how to think and interpret life with a mind and heart set on heaven." I love this section of the devotional! It really got me thinking about ways to better parent with an eternal perspective; how to parent with the idea in mind of how to further my children into the Kingdom of God. It also caused me to reflect on my spiritual life and how I can grow closer to Christ.
One devotional in particular, Rise Up To Go Lower, hit me hard. Katie very openly talks about how in her early days of motherhood she was not prepared for the level of sacrifice that would be required of her. That is something I believe all moms can relate to. Motherhood can most definitely feel like we sacrifice and sacrifice and give and give but don't get anything in return. But, as Katie points out, God has called us to "go lower…He (Jesus) lowered himself to identify with us, to serve us, to wash our feet, and to die for us…Now, He has commanded us to follow His example…when we immerse ourselves in God's love and learn to abide therein, we allow ourselves to be a conduit through which His love can freely flow…It is heavenly minded motherhood as God intended it."
The final section of the devotional focuses on the things in our life that will endure; faith, hope, and love. Katie intended this section to encourage us and to pour meaning back into the "stuff" of our lives. This last 30 days heavily focuses on being eternally minded and storing up treasures in heaven. Katie also touches on how to parent with eternity in mind; how to strive towards the goal of encouraging our children to follow Jesus each day.
I love what she says in the devotional titled A Mother's Call to Make Disciples.
"It is easy for us as parents to set our sights on the wrong goals for our children…good grades, education, athletics, and fine arts…what we, as proud mothers, fail to realize in the midst of our parental ambition is that all these things will not matter in eternity…so let us strive to instill in our children the things that will matter forever."
This point is further emphasized in a different day's devotional. Katie states, "When we teach our children who God is and what it means to follow Him in the context of our home, the kingdom of God moves forward." I love that! Not only are we enabling our children to live for God, we are furthering His kingdom. It's amazing to think about it that way!
One of my favorite aspects of this book is how open and honest Katie is. She doesn't sugar coat anything or attempt to make it look like she's the perfect parent. Katie is very transparent in the examples she gives from her own life. She admits her faults and mistakes she has made in parenting and reveals how God has been working in her life to correct those areas. I found this very refreshing and relatable. None of us are perfect. We are not perfect moms who never make mistakes. Not by a long shot. But if we look to God for help, He will show us how to make the necessary changes and how to grow as a parent and grow in Him.
I have read many devotional books over the years. Some that were geared towards moms and some that weren't. But I can honestly say that of all of them, this one was the most encouraging and uplifting. Oftentimes I'll read a devotional book and feel encouraged by what I read on most days, but not all of them. Sometimes I don't feel as if what I read applies to me or it wasn't as encouraging as I hoped. That was not the case for me with Heavenly Minded Mom. I felt encouraged and uplifted every day with each devotional I read.
If you are seeking to grow as a mom and to be the parent God has called you to be; if you are looking to find encouragement and know you aren't alone, this is the book for you.
Heavenly Minded Mom can be purchased at the following retailers: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, Christianbook.com, and LifeWay.
And be sure to check out the Heavenly Minded Mom website for more information.
For the past three years my boys and I have been making leprechaun traps to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. It is so much fun! We make a trap, come up with a plan to catch the sneaky little bugger, and then wait and see what we find the morning of St. Patrick's Day. I'm not sure what happens in your house, but in our house, the leprechaun always makes a big mess! But, my boys love the mess. They're boys, so of course, they do!
Enter daddy. When daddy saw all the fun we were having he decided to get in on the action. So he made his own leprechaun trap out of Legos…
To continue reading this post, head on over to Columbia SC Moms Blog and see what my husband did to make his Leprechaun trap bigger and better than mommy's.

Book Review - The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness
This is an enchanting and possibly enchanted book about love and forgiveness. Two ordinary people, George and his daughter Amanda are immeasurably changed when they meet Kumiko. A woman who may be the reincarnation of a wounded crane or may not. I loved it but know others who just didn't get it. It may be for you or it may not. "Stories do not explain. They seem to, but all they provide is a starting point. A story never ends at the end. There is always after. And even within itself, even by saying this version is the right one, it suggests other versions, versions that exist in parallel. No, a story is not an explanation, it is a net through which the truth flows. The net catches some of the truth, but not all, never all, only enough so that we can live with the extraordinary without it killing us." She sagged a little, as if exhausted by this speech. "As it surely, surely would." After a moment, George asked, "Has something extraordinary happened to you?" "To me", she said, "and to everyone…." Wendy

text: Molecular engineering or Molecular manufacturing are processes that are often advocated as a way to combat hunger in various parts of the world where food is scarce. The procedures promoted may involve bio-engineering processes to achieve higher crop yields or methods to alter the growth of foods to add more nutrients. Discovering additives that may combat bacteria or creating ways to keep foods from spoiling are all endeavors considered as initiatives of Molecular Food production. Food research that explores the identification, detection and use of micro-organisms in order to apply standards to the modification of foods has become an important area of study for many educational facilities. It is the intent of these institutions to explore, teach and train individuals in the years ahead so they can provide guidance for procedures that may develop beneficial Molecular Food processes. Another version of Molecular Food involves the preparation methods that individuals may use to create a food dish or recipe. Non-traditional ingredients or cooking methods may be employed to create a technologically achieved or engineered result. Altering a flavor or a texture may occur with the use of Molecular procedures. At times, Molecular Foods may be considered to be a form of fusion cooking as ingredients or procedures are fused into an enjoyable result. However, Molecular Food will typically involve technology in some form to provide the food be labled as Molecular.

Us Weekly has an amazing article today with more details about Jennifer Lopez's split from Marc Anthony. Like amazing, amazing, amazing. Whether or not it's true, it's still amazing, amazing, amazing.
According to the magazine, JLo's ma, Guadalupe, out of concern for her daughter, emailed Ben Affleck for advice on what to do about her crumbling marriage.
Go get a snack. Stories like this need to be savoured.
Us claims that contrary to reports that JLo has been unfaithful with some video hunk, it was, as we knew, Marc who was controlling and paranoid, to the point that she couldn't stand it anymore, and this precipitated the demise of their marriage. I'm told that she did not cheat. Whether or not he did is still open for debate.
Back to Ben and Guadalupe – supposedly Ben answered back, spoke his mind, and wished them well. Three days later, JLo and Marc ... done. Then "a source" decided to share it with the world. You have to appreciate how many levels of smuttiness this covers.
First of all, obviously, the Bennifer history. What a nice little f-ck you JLo has just sent her ex-husband. What a nice little "how you like them apples" JLo has just sent the real Mrs Affleck, Jennifer Garner. That is some serious and sophisticated Girl Sh-t right there. Remember when I told you earlier this week that JLo was allegedly intending to work with Us Weekly all along in announcing the split until they were cockblocked by Marc's side and PEOPLE? Click here for a refresher. And now JLo is on the new cover of Us Weekly? THAT is what you call a makeup deal. With an information exchange.
No no no. Celebrities never work with tabloids! Especially not when the entire story is straight up her ass, totally favouring her side.
The split is not even a week fresh. And already, already the true JLo, the one who has lain dormant for too long, has re-emerged. Just a taste of what it will be like now that she's single again. This is Good for Gossip. Very, very Good for Gossip.
Attached – Gossip Nostalgia!

Hi Everyone!
Just the other day I was digging through my drawers looking for something
( I can't remember what it was now lol )
when I came across my Prismacolor pencils.
Long before any of us had alcohol ink markers our choices to color
were very limited.
When I saw my old pencils shoved in the back of the drawer,
I remembered how much I enjoyed coloring with the
Gamsol Magic technique.
Yep, I know. Totally "Old School" :)
So I brought them out to have a little old school fun!
Look how cute my card turned out!
For my card I used the adorable Digital Delights Easter stamp
In case you've never tried this technique,
I thought I'd show you the basics :)
Here's what you'll need:
Prismacolor Pencils or any wax-based color pencil. Be sure to not use Watercolor pencils.
Gamsol (which is just a trade name) or any type of Odorless Mineral Spirits.
Blending stumps is different sizes.
An emory board to remove color and sharpen the blending stumps.
All of these items are available at most hobby and craft stores or
online at Dick Blick
I also have a chart that helps me determine what colors I want to use:
Different types of charts available on Pinterest
Because I wanted my bunny to suggest that she was pink with out completely coloring her pink
here's what I did...
(hint: it is always better to start with less color and add more if you need it)
Then blended with stump heavily wet with OMS
(hint: always make sure your blending stump is thoroughly wet.)
Using two colors for the perfect blend:
For the Blue background I colored darker next to the image and blended out from the edge.
I made the grass by using 2 freshly sharpened greens.
That's it! (One more time)
Prismacolor Pencils I used:
929 Pink
930 Magenta
932 Violet
908 Dark Green
911 Olive Green
943 Burnt Ochre
944 Terra Cotta
1086 Sky Blue Light
Also used:
GP White, SU Regal Rose CS and DSP.
White gel pen.
Offray silk flowers.
Thanks for joining me today!
Happy Craftin'!


text: When we last saw Kenichi, he was making the transition from wimp to warrior... Okay, maybe not warrior, but he was definitely taking steps to man up. Well, the world is starting to notice, which is good and bad. On the plus side, he's making friends and getting more respect. In the minus column, his rep is growing faster than his skills, which is tricky now that every thug in town wants to test his new techniques. That means between street brawls and trying to score with Miu, Kenichi still has to hang tough with the six martial arts masters. Lucky for him, the training is getting more tense - because before Kenichi can finally stand tall, he'll have to beat his fiercest opponent yet!

Hey, remember that live-action Captain Planet movie we reported on last month? Remember how stupid the idea sounded? It still is! But that doesn't mean it isn't ripe for parody and Funny or Die has done just that. When Captain Planet (played by Don Cheadle) is summoned by the Planeteers (whose ranks include Community's Gillian Jacobs and Napoleon Dynamite's Efren Ramirez), he goes a little overboard with his superpowers. They say that absolute power corrupts absolutely and that saying still applies to environmentally-conscious superheroes.
Hit the jump to check out the video.

Hey, I gave you three chances!!!!
A little "something or other" about trucks of all types using truck models I have made and collected, photos I have taken, pictures and drawings I have found from various places. I have been building models for over 40 years and just got back to one of my favorite subjects - TRUCKS. Drop a comment if you wish, or send an e-mail through my profile - I want to hear from you.

School protest
Parents and pupils take to the street to save their school
Live updates
School closures consultation period ends
The consultation process will end today over the possible closure of three schools in East Yorkshire. Hundreds have protested against the plans by the local council to close down Dunswell Primary School, and primary schools at the villages of Langtoft and Gembling.
East Yorkshire Council says Langtoft Primary School costs £15,500 per pupil to run compared with the average of £3500 for the rest of the local schools and it has to make difficult choices in tough times.
Campaigners have handed in a petition of nearly 3000 names in protest at the plans.
East Yorkshire pupils plead: "Save our School."
Around 200 pupils, parents and teachers have staged a protest march calling on their local council to lift the threat of closure hanging over their school. There are three village primary schools in East Yorkshire facing the axe because the local council says they are not good value for money.
3000 sign petition to save school
Just under 3000 people have signed a petition to try to save an East Riding school earmarked for closure. Around two hundred parents and pupils marched to Beverley county hall to hand the petition in. Campaigners fear if Dunswell Primary school closes it will tear the heart out of the village.
Save our school protest
Dunswell Primary School is one of three East Riding schools earmarked for closure as part of a cost-cutting package by the local council.
Parents and pupils march to save school
Around 150 parents and pupils are expected to march through Beverley to protest against plans to close a local primary school. Dunswell Primary School is one of three East Riding schools earmarked for closure as part of a cost-cutting package by the local council.
East Riding Council says the children in the school catchment area can all be easily accommodated in Woodmansey School which is two miles away. But parents say Dunswell is a thriving community school which they want to keep. If the closure plans go ahead, it could shut its door for good next year.

Our office sponsors research in many experimental and theoretical fields. We support research groups at many Universities and National Laboratories.
Jump down to nuclear physics research on: Heavy Ions, Medium Energy, Low Energy, Theory, Accelerators, Isotopes
Heavy Ion Physics Research
The Heavy Ion subprogram investigates the high temperature frontier of QCD, by trying to recreate and characterize new and predicted forms of matter and other new phenomena that might occur in extremely hot, dense nuclear matter and which have not existed since the Big Bang. Measurements are carried out primarily using relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Lab. Participation in the heavy ion program at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) provides U.S. researchers the opportunity to search for new states of matter under substantially different initial conditions than those provided by RHIC, yet still provide information regarding the matter that existed during the infant universe.
Medium Energy Nuclear Physics Research
The Medium Energy subprogram primarily explores the low temperature frontier of QCD to understand how the properties of existing matter arise from the properties of QCD. This research is conducted at two NP National User Facilities and other facilities worldwide. The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF or JLab) provides high quality beams of polarized electrons that allow scientists to extract information on the quarks and gluons that make up protons and neutrons. CEBAF also uses polarized electrons to make precision measurements of parity-violating processes that can provide information relevant to the third frontier to develop the New Standard Model. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) provides colliding beams of spin-polarized protons to probe the spin structure of the proton, another important aspect of the QCD frontier. This subprogram supports one university 'Center of Excellence' with infrastructure capabilities to develop advanced instrumentation and accelerator equipment.
Low Energy Nuclear Physics Research
The Low Energy subprogram studies the frontiers of Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics and Fundamental Symmetry . Two NP National User Facilities are pivotal in making progress in these frontiers. The Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is used to study questions of nuclear structure by providing high-quality beams of all the stable elements up to uranium and selected beams of short-lived nuclei for experimental studies of nuclear properties under extreme conditions and reactions of interest to nuclear astrophysics. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) under construction is a next-generation machine that will advance the understanding of rare nuclear isotopes and the evolution of the cosmos. The subprogram supports three university "Centers of Excellence," two with unique low energy accelerator facilities and one with infrastructure capabilities for developing advanced instrumentation. The program also partners with the National Reconnaissance Office and the United States Air Force to support limited operations of the 88-Inch Cyclotron at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for a small in-house research program and to meet national security needs.
Also within the portfolio of this subprogram are experiments designed to develop a better understanding of the properties of neutrinos and, in particular, of their masses. This science is typically explored with large detectors buried underground to shield them from backgrounds so that they can detect rare particle signals. Measurements of symmetry properties, particularly the symmetry properties of the neutron, are carried out by nuclear physicists at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at ORNL.
Theoretical Nuclear Physics Research
The Nuclear Theory subprogram provides the theoretical underpinning needed to support the interpretation of a wide range of data obtained from all the other NP subprograms and to advance new ideas and hypotheses that stimulate experimental investigations. This subprogram supports the Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT) at the University of Washington, where leading nuclear theorists are assembled from across the Nation to focus on key frontier areas in nuclear physics. The subprogram also collects, evaluates, and disseminates nuclear physics data for basic nuclear research and for applied nuclear technologies with its support of the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC). The extensive nuclear databases produced by this effort are an international resource consisting of carefully organized scientific information gathered over 50 years of low-energy nuclear physics research worldwide.
Accelerator Physics Research
The Nuclear Physics program supports a broad range of activities aimed at research and development related to the science, engineering, and technology for accelerators of electrons, protons and heavy ions. Research and development is supported that will advance fundamental accelerator technology and its applications to nuclear physics scientific research. Areas of interest include the basic technologies of the Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), with heavy ion beam energies up to 100 GeV/amu and polarized proton beam energies up to 250 GeV; technologies associated with RHIC luminosity upgrades; the development of an electron-ion collider (EIC); linear accelerators such as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF); and development of devices and methods that would be useful in the generation of intense rare isotope beams for the next-generation rare isotope beam accelerator facility (FRIB). A major focus in all of the above areas is superconducting radio frequency (RF) acceleration and its related technologies. Also, as recommended in the last NSAC Long Range Plan, accelerator research and development on the most challenging technical issues related to the EIC, the future Electron Ion Collider, will soon be supported.

For accessing presentations made at the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) for NP Accelerator Facilities on January 30, 2020 click here.
Isotope Research
The Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications (IDPRA) subprogram supports the production, and the development of production techniques of radioactive and stable isotopes that are in short supply for research and applications. Isotopes are high-priority commodities of strategic importance for the Nation and are essential for energy, medical, and national security applications and for basic research; a goal of the program is to make critical isotopes more readily available to meet domestic U.S. needs. This subprogram is steward of the Isotope Production Facility (IPF) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the Brookhaven Linear Isotope Producer (BLIP) facility at BNL, and hot cell facilities for processing isotopes at ORNL, BNL and LANL. The subprogram also coordinates and supports isotope production at a suite of university, national laboratory, and commercial accelerator and reactor facilities throughout the Nation to promote a reliable supply of domestic isotopes. The National Isotope Develoment Center (NIDC) at ORNL manages the coordination of isotope production across the many facilities and the business operations of the sale and distribution of isotopes. This site at Oak Ridge has several useful isotope-related links.

VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Heroes of Burke County
What makes a Hero?
"It is the surmounting of difficulties that makes heroes." - Louis Kossuth
Who is your Hero?
To some a hero is someone like a sports figure or entertainer. For others a hero is much closer to them like a teacher, sibling or parent.
But in Burke County a hero is one who puts their mind, body, and soul on the line to achieve one goal. To win the BCW tag team championships. And for the four men competing, the memories of this match will live with them for the rest of their lives.
Film Maker Jake Manning (producer of the George South presents: Boogie Woogie Front Yard Bash) takes you on an exciting ride presenting all the Burke County characters in their natural environment. This DVD shows you the whole day's worth of events leading up the the big match as well as the big match itself. This DVD is filled with plenty of DVD extra's including bonus interviews from some of the other BCW characters.
Heroes of Burke County is an excellent show of struggle and triumph. After watching this you will never view professional wrestling the same again. And thats a Promise!
