Usually, by the time actual Easter rolls around, all of the kids have already had two or three egg hunts, but this year it was impossible to balance that and other events.
So it was just me and the toddler who got one extra library-hosted egg hunt in for her age group while my older two were in school. It was in a location we'd been to very often when the eight and ten-year-old were babies and preschoolers, but it's so far now that we rarely visit except for special occasions.
It was strange being in the exact same library toddler room as I had years and years ago with my first two kids. And the faces of the women had changed-the ones I'd known were long gone, their children far older now. But the librarians were the same.
And they remembered us. Us as an entire young family.
I was stopped on the way out, my daughter dancing happily with a basket full of candy and eggs, when the front desk librarian said: "This is the BABY?! Where are those two other almost grown adults you gave birth to!"
It took me just a second to look at her face and have all the memories of the great interactions this woman had granted us years ago come back.
My children grew up at the library.
My first daughter learned to crawl among aisles of books, and learned to stand by holding onto the wooden bins overflowing with board book stories.
My son was just days old and riding in a sling across my chest when he first went through the library doors. His first Christmas concert happened at a library.
My youngest was one of the newest babies to get a summer reading certificate. When her physical therapist suggested we learn ASL to communicate with her, we found free in-depth lessons from the programs the local libraries offered.
My toddler is quickly learning what her brother and sister already know: that libraries are some of the best places on Earth.
When we had children, I really had no idea how to do anything right. That was terrifying.
I just knew that this place was one they needed to know, and it needed to happen as early as possible.
Because it was my haven, too.
It was where I learned to cook, where I spent hours with the few friends I had writing research on index cards to complete high school papers. It was where my husband took us on our three-year anniversary. It was where I learned how to be a parent. Countless books and films, from baby names to potty-training to getting the kids ready for college years, I found it at the library. I even had a baby shower there.
My children's art lessons are held there. Their robotics classes. Their Valentine's parties and their video game sessions-it's there.
The libraries surrounding us have helped us as a family every step of the way.
And they helped me survive. And they continue to offer a million ways to be a better human being.
Libraries and their staff can make all the difference in the world.
Support the heck out of them, please.

Enrepreneurship in Farming
By Zac Sarian
How do you succeed a farm entrepreneur? One key ingredient is to look for your passion. Look for some-thing you love to do, says Joel F. Magsaysay.
At an entrepre-neurship seminar we attended together, he revealed that even while he was holding an executive job in a multinational company in the city, he had already discovered that beekeeping was his passion. It was his cup of tea.
One indication that you already have found your passion is when you want to know everything about one particular project yet you can't seem to get all the information you want to know about the particular subject. The information is always inadequate and you want to know more.
Once you have discovered your passion, he continued, you will need to focus your activities. You'll have to discard your bad habits so you could reach your goal faster.
In his particular case, he really focused all his efforts at making a go of his bee project. His parents and relatives thought he had lost his head when he gave up his high paying job in favour of farming bees in Silang, Cavite.
He explained that many of his relatives are holders of PhDs so he could not blame them for their reaction when he decided to become a farmer-entrepreneur.
He didn't mind about what they said because he was firmly decided to pursue his passion. And it was this passion that had brought him to where he is in bee culture today.
Magsaysay could be considered as one of the most successful beekeepers in the country. His production of honey (by the tons) is sold out almost immediately because of its quality. Most of his
buyers go to him to pick up their supplies instead of him going out to sell his harvest. An indication that he is really a success.
Aside from honey, he has mastered the production of other bee products that have a ready market in the country. He produces a lot of beeswax which is used in furniture finishing, candles and others. He also produces bee pollen which is considered a health product and which commands a good price in the market. Another non-traditional product he sells is bee propolis which is used for medicinal purposes in place of antibiotics.
His best seller, he says, is considered a natural energizer which can help those sexually inactive to regain their sexual prowess.
He was able to learn to produce all these things because of his passion to know everything he can about bees and bee products.
The most important challenge that he is tackling right now is the extraction of bee venom which sells for a fantastic price because it is used in cancer research as well as in the cure for arthritis and other maladies.
Joel Magsaysay stressed that he could not be as successful as a farm entrepreneur today if he did not have the passion and the focus. He feels very lucky that he was able to marry a lady who had the same passion for taking care of bees and who did not mind living in the farm without the traditional electricity. Up to this time, they only depend on low-voltage current from a solar powered source. But he is not complaining. Part of being successful is not complaining about a little inconveniences.
So what is your passion in agriculture? Better look for it , and when you have spotted it focus to it all your attention, efforts, time, and above all your financial resources.

It has taken me years to find the formula to reduce breakage.
If you catch the pole after every jump and make sure it does not hit the standard.
And you store your poles properly there should never be a pole broken unless it is under your weight or you need a stiffer pole and take it to the max load!
Pole breaks are a NIGHTMARE, literally!! As manufacturers, we sometimes find ourselves awake at night thinking up better ways to make poles safer for the vaulter.
The reality is that poles rarely break, and when they do it is even more rare that it is from a manufacturer's defect.
If it were then none of us could continue to be in business. However if one pole maker is experiencing a rash of breaks they need to take a look at what they are doing or not doing.
It is more likely a combination of variables, like the weather you're jumping in, the vaulter was on the wrong weight pole, with the wrong grip, wrong body weight, the pole was dropped, scratched or stepped on, etc.
We have solved this problem and we recommend that if a pole maker does not know what they are doing, do not make CARBON poles.
It is an art and you have to know what you are doing.
I am not saying poles will not break, (all pole brands break even non carbon) I am saying you are less likely to have one of ours break.
So confident are we in our product and it's durability, we now offer a full refund for any ESSX RECOIL ADVANCE pole that breaks within 30 days of purchase due to a manufacturer's defect. RESTRICTIONS AND RULES will apply to qualify for replacement. We want you to have the same confidence in us that we have in our poles through design and shipment. Together we are a team, and this is our commitment to your goals and safety.
RESTRICTIONS AND RULES rules
We require video of the vault breaking the pole. IF in 3-5 or 7 piece the pole was overloaded no matter if you weigh less than the weight rating. Weight rating is only a guide for beginners, most vaulter use a pole rated over their weight at least by 5 lbs. Our poles are so easy to bend initially if you are jumping over your grip you will need a pole with a higher rating! A return authorization is required and the pieces of the pole must be sent back for inspection before any poles will be replaced. UserMAY be subject to freight charges for the replacement.
So confident are we in our product's durability
Got something for sale? Looking to buy something? Post it here, but make sure to read the rules first!

ISLAMABAD: The National Highway Authority (NHA) on Saturday said that it would fully cooperate with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in investigating alleged irregularities in award of contracts for Peshawar- Karachi Motorway (PKM) project.
According to a press release, NHA said that it would maintain complete cooperation to facilitate the inquiry. "The allegations of 'irregularities' are based on misunderstanding and disinformation. NHA has clarified them before and is ready to address the same again on any forum," the statement said.
"Being the custodian of over 12,000 km network of highways and motorways, NHA has always taken this responsibility as a trust reposed by the nation and endeavored to maintain highest standards of fairness and accountability in the discharge of its work. Projects worth over Rs 1,400 billion are currently under execution in all parts of the country whereby adherence to rules and transparency remain the very foundation of the unprecedented road development activity. As a matter of fact, reforms introduced in the procurement process during the last few years have led to savings of over Rs 300 billion to the national exchequer, a fact also acknowledged by the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) in its audit report for year 2016-17," it said.
"All contracts were processed and awarded as per relevant rules and regulations with total transparency. NAB was also requested in writing to supervise the tendering and procurement procedure for the award of works for CPEC and other highway projects including Lahore-Abdulhakim, Multan-Sukkur and Thakot-Havelian Motorway, to ensure the desired standards of transparency," the statement said.

I recently attended a talk by Dr. Jane Lubchenco, a marine biologist who was basically in charge of running NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmostpheric Administration) from 2009-2013. One of the most highly cited ecologists since, well ever, she was part of Obama's 'Dream Team' of science advisors. During those four years, NOAA went from one turbulent challenge to another including the Gulf Oil spill and multiple extreme storm events like hurricane Irene.
Her talk, under the theme of "Science Serving Society" was fascinating in terms of both content and delivery. There was not a powerpoint in sight, instead she took us to a "field trip" to that strange foreign country known as Washington DC via a series of twelve short stories that illustrated the culture and habits of yonder parts. I thought I'd share some little nuggets of wisdom here by way of some quotes that stuck:
"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" – Referring to the situation of concerned fishermen anxious about their livelihoods following the disastrous Deep Water Horizon oil spill in the Gulf. Point: Researchers may harbor a wealth of detailed knowledge, but applying it takes more finesse and the ability to relate to people.
"Wait a minute, I thought you were a scientist…but I just understood everything you said!" – VP Joe Biden to Dr. Lubchenco while being briefed on fisheries in the gulf. Point: Scientists need to think about how well they're communicating. The onus is on us to do it clearly and understandably.
"I don't need to your weather satellites, I've got the weather channel." – Congressman to Dr. Lubchenco, in reference to the ageing fleet of weather satellites that were in orbit at the time. Point: It's easy to forget that others don't know what you know. Though she was gracious about this, to me the fact that this elected official didn't realize that weather reports on TV relied on publicly funded weather satellites set off additional alarm bells at the clear inadequacy of standards we have for holding office. Just as doctors, accountants, and lawyers have to pass examinations, perhaps politicians should be tested on basic competence.
Paraphrase: Scientists have a contract with the public…Sometimes we academics tend think of students who go outside it as failures. Instead of writing them off, we actually need to encourage many more to go into policy. Referring to the disconnect between the classic priorities of scientists and needs of both science and society.
"It looks as wholesome as peaches and apple pie…But I think it's a serious threat…and the whole community needs to scream bloody murder if it goes through." – In reference to the so-called "High Quality Research Act (which I blogged about earlier here).
Thanks Dr. Lubchenco, for being such a fabulous female role model and reminding us to step back and look at the big picture.

Finding Doors Virginia Has to Offer
If you are looking for a good provider of doors Virginia has a terrific array of providers to choose from in the Chantilly area. Additionally, anyone looking for windows and siding Virginia has to offer as well can often find these and the doors they are looking for under the same roof, so bear this in mind if you are in the market for any or all of these items. However, as with any shopping experience, it pays to know what you are looking for ahead of time, so make sure that you have a good idea of what types of doors Virginia based providers ought to have in order to meet your standards ahead of time.

When you need to make a major life change such as a big move, it's essential to be equipped with a moving and storage plan, complete with a comprehensive checklist, as well as the right interstate moving company in order to help make the shift a success.

Another way to save is to consider distance. An interstate moving company will be more familiar with the state you are moving through and can often make suggestions about your destination. And remember, timing is everything. To ensure that you will have power after moving to your new location, contact the utility company and have power turned on a day ahead. The same applies when you are leaving. Let your utility company know the day you plan to depart so that power can be be turned off in your old place. Helpful links.

Guest Review by Angie Lippard of
In writing a book review, I am trying to share with you what I like and don't like about a particular book. I am trying to save you time by giving you the gist of the book without revealing the story. I have 4 "do's" and 1 "don't" when I write a review.
1) Tell me how hot the romance is between the two characters. 2) If it is a series, let me know which book I need to read first in order to understand this book (or) is there a book in the series better than this one. 3) How good is it compared to other Christian Historical Fiction (CHF) writers? 4) Is God and faith an afterthought? Thrown in to make the book a Christian book or is it central to the plot and the characters? 5) Don't just repeat the summary plot and then add "I liked it. "
There are huge differences in Christian Fiction and I don't want to waste my time on reading something that doesn't appeal to me. I want to zero in on writers who write the stuff that I like. Period.
Based on this criteria, I like Mary Connealy's writing. She makes me laugh out loud and that instantly makes a book better for me. I was laughing right out of the gate with this book!
I have read all of the Montana Marriages series, as well as, the Lasso in Texas series. I feel that makes me a capable judge of this new series, Sophie's Daughters. We first meet Sophie's girls in "Petticoat Ranch" and again in "Calico Canyon." This book, the first in the series, mainly focuses on Beth with some of Mandy's problems thrown in. See my review of "Wrangler in Petticoats for more about Mandy and Sally's life.) You could read these books out of order and not miss too much but I wouldn't advise it. You need to know what the girls have been through in their lives to understand what makes them tick.
Most CHF and westerns, have strong, manly men and this one is no exception. The difference is he has moments of strength but is a man walking wounded. He has post traumatic stress disorder only they don't call it that in those days. He has overwhelming moments of weakness that render him incapable of functioning and he needs Beth in order to function. He doesn't "want" her. He "needs" her. So right off the bat, you have to wonder how this man is going to go from weak to strong and help Beth relinquish some of her strength to depend on him. It's a very interesting setup and you hope they will both make it out alive and together. You'll have to read the book to find out the rest.
Here are my ratings, from 1-5, with 1 being the lowest
Hotness Factor: 3 stars I think Husband Tree by this author was hotter but this is good. The physical tension is there from the start and you don't have to wait until the end of the book for the romance to heat up and take off.
Series info: 4 stars You don't have to read the other books in the series to understand this book but it is highly recommended that you do. In this series, "Doctors" is definitely the better book, so far. I personally liked the "Lassoed in Texas" series better but Husband Tree is still my favorite book by this author.
Overall Rating: 3 stars Mary Connealy gives a good performance in these books. She is a good storyteller and includes passion and longing but not as much as other CHF authors like DeeAnne Gist and Julie Lessman. Her books just keep getting better and better.
Christianity: 4.5 In this book the main character struggles and pleads with God to help him overcome his trauma and learn to live and work again. God and prayer is a strong theme throughout the book.
Warning: Both of these characters are doctors and post traumatic stress is involved so if you don't like the thought of a lot of blood or reading about it makes you feel sick, you might want to skip this book. It was graphic because of their chosen professions but also because of the trauma he went through and was trying to overcome. Just thought I'd give fair warning!
Summary Plot: Doctor Alex Buchanan is a wanted man–a deserter from the army stalked by a bounty hunter–but he'd rather be dead than inflict any more pain on his patients. Beth McClellan is idealistic, believing the nursing training she received will be enough to help her serve as doctor to her home town in West Texas. When Alex and Beth meet in a stagecoach accident, they find that they work well together. But are his demons and her dreams too deeply rooted for either of them to pay the price required for a future together?

"A woman is like a tea bag - you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water." - Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady of the United States, 1933 to 1945)
ANDOVER - The Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church of Lowell's Ladies Philoptochos Society hosted its 64th annual Benefit Christmas Tea at the festively decorated Indian Ridge Country Club on Dec. 3.
More than 250 devoted ladies throughout the local communities gather each year with their family and friends to celebrate the start of the holiday season. The fashionable ladies sipped punch and daintily ate homemade spanakopita (Greek spinach pie) while mingling. They enjoyed a beautiful luncheon, complimentary wines, desserts, raffles, a speaking program and entertainment by Joey B-Bop.
The meaning of the name Philoptochos is "friend of the poor," a brief but enormously powerful statement of its mission. The Ladies Philoptochos Society supports many charities and provides its members with an opportunity to use their time, talents and treasures for good.
This single event raised $4,500. For more information, visit www.transchurch.org.

Head spin
Note to self: don't even try to have Bible readings when you're sick!
I sat down this morning, on my second day of recovery after a night in emergency with a vomiting bug, ready set to have my quiet time. Turned aimlessly to Zechariah and started a head-spinning read about Zerubbabel, Joshua the high priest, women in baskets and fast horses.... what????
Words were floating all over the page so I finished up with a quick "God-help-me-today-I'm-going-to-need-it" type prayer. As it turns out, I did, and he did.

Spring is here and so is the busy schedule!
This past week had us running from the start. We had events for Morgan each evening including 4-h meetings and tutoring. We spent three days at a farm conference going to great classes and meeting new and old friends. We look forward to the small farm conference each year as it gives us a chance to talk to other farmers like us and somewhat local. We always learn a few things. This year it was both good and bad news(basically more regulations). We had a ram lamb born early in the week and Millie had a litter of piglets last night. We did our best to get as much done today as possible from running errands, getting groceries, cleaning pens, and sorting a new breeding group of ducks. It has been a week of non stop running! The bad part is we are more behind then ever lol!
We are super excited about the weather forecast for the next week. I hope all of my friends out east are starting to thaw out as well. Wishing everyone a good evening and a great week ahead!

Albania used to be a Christian nation, but the Ottoman Empire wanted to conquer it fully: so it taxed Albanian Christians until a large majority converted to Islam. When Rome split from Constantinople in Albania also, the Eastern Roman Empire demanded conversion to Greek Orthodoxy. The North of Albania refused to convert. The North remained Catholic, to this day it has a large Catholic population. Much of the rest of the country who did later under the Ottomans convert to the Muslim faith in the process lost their patriotism, and submitted to foreign rule, because their former faith had been eradicated by taxes, and their rebellious spirit with it. 'Albanianism is the religion of Albania' this is the phrase which reunited Albania into one nation once again. Targeting the majority religion of the country is a sure way to destroy its defiance against human rights abuses. This is what Things Fall Apart is all about: the use of Protestant Christianity to subdue the people of Africa, in concert with the persecution of the majority religion. Forbidding religion from entering the public sphere, was a method used in Angola in an attempt to control the population. Similar tactics were used in other Marxist regimes at the time. The Nazis saw a similar need to muzzle free religious expression if they were to conduct the genocide successfully.
'"If you don't respect those in leadership, if you don't respect authority then you are bordering on a curse," said Zuma, who once said the ANC would rule until Jesus returned.
'"Whether we like it or not, God has made a connection between the government and the church. That's why he says you, as a church, should pray for it."
'He likened people who lack "values" by raping children and the aged to animals. "If you don't have that, (values), then you are not different from animals."
'Zuma urged the church to pray for politicians who insult leaders. Without mentioning names, he said their language was rough and disrespectful.
'"Because if you allow them to insult those in authority, you are creating a society that is angry with itself," said Zuma.
'However, the ANC leader said his fellow comrades were also guilty of this "careless" language. "I am not saying the ANC is innocent of the careless language."
'ANC MP John Jeffrey recently apologised for calling Mazibuko, the DA's parliamentary leader, "a person of substantial weight".'

Updates always seem to happen at the most inappropriate time. With so many different applications and software programs installed on devices, it seems that there is always one that is updating. Although you may get notifications of updates starting or scheduled to start, some will only do this once and then run the update after that. Windows have recently done a rather large update that can often take over an hour to install. If this happens in the middle of your working day when you are on a deadline to get something completed, it may mean you have very little you can do and cannot get your work finished on time.
Updates are often designed to improve functionality or security but in turn, they can often actually cause corruptions and issues within the program and any associated ones. Before doing any major updates it is worth taking a full back up of your PC or laptop and also has another computer on hand that you can use should you not be able to access your other one.
Try and wait a few days until installing a new update unless it is vital to do so as this will allow issues that may be caused by the update to come to the attention of the developers.

A Rose Has No Teeth: Bruce Nauman in the 1960s
Nauman's Collaborations
The extraordinarily influential American artist Bruce Nauman began his career here in Northern California, first as a graduate student at the University of California, Davis, from 1964 to 1966, and then as a young artist teaching part time at the San Francisco Art Institute until 1969, when he left for Southern California.
Nauman forged close relationships with several artists in those early years. First and foremost among them was William T. Wiley, a professor at UC Davis. Only four years older than Nauman, Wiley was inspiring, always open and receptive to unorthodox ideas, and free of preconceptions. His own work has always been a by-product of his life (the synchronicity of art and life is shared by many artists in the region), and anything and everything was potential content for his art. Nauman appreciated Wiley's wordplay and learned from him not to worry about how a thing looked, and that it was okay to work, as Wiley did, in multiple styles and media. He said Wiley was the "strongest influence I had. It was in being rigorous, being honest with yourself—trying to be clear—taking a moral position . . . Bill was one of the first that gave me an idea of moral commitment, the worth of being an artist."
Painter William Allan taught briefly at Davis and collaborated with Nauman on four films. The two artists had a common intent, in Nauman's words "making a film without considering art." Allan explained further that in the spirit of the time, they intuitively understood that if you put together the right people and materials in the right situation, something interesting would come out of it. Their first film, Fishing for Asian Carp, features Allan, an avid fisherman to this day, doing just as the title describes, and ends when he hooks a fish. Allan and Nauman, who operated the camera, made the film in the form of a travelogue with narration provided by the filmmaker Bob Nelson (who was also responsible for the sound recording and editing, which neither Allan nor Nauman knew how to do). Nauman added sound effects by sloshing water in a bucket. In 2000, Nauman made a digital video, Setting a Good Corner (Allegory and Metaphor), that, despite higher production values, doesn't deviate from the basic philosophy of early works like Fishing for Asian Carp—the straightforward recording of a task from beginning to end.
Nauman collaborated with photographer Jack Fulton on several works, including the series Eleven Color Photographs. In these large and luridly colored photographs, Nauman explored the relationship between words and images in visual and verbal puns. At that time, according to Fulton, neither color nor large scale were very much practiced in photography, "except perhaps by an ad agency with a lot of money." Using Nauman's 2 1/4-by-2 1/4-inch Yashica, they photographed the setups with bicolored lights. Nauman made the "nice but funky trays from 1/2-by-2-inch molding and Masonite from a lumber store," and Fulton bought the chemicals, paper, and coffee cup heaters to warm the chemicals. "It took about forty-five minutes in the dark to make a print in those days, so we'd make a test and go at it again until it looked good to both of us," Fulton said. Fulton also took the photographs in the screenprints Studies for Holograms, made in preparation for Nauman's work in holography, a new medium that had yet to be explored by artists. In these works, Nauman contorts his face with the idea of making images strong enough to prevent the seductive holographic technology from dominating. During the course of planning the exhibition, Fulton found several outtakes from this series, which are being exhibited here for the first time.

For years I thought this was a respectable site to post about my obsession with the Stones, but this will be the last time I post here unless the bastard or bitch who is responsible for this pain in my heart comes forth and admits what they have done! Something happened to me yesterday, and it is one of the worst things I've ever experienced in my life! If you need me to explain what it was then you had nothing to do with this sad day. Suffice it to say it is both complicated, and terrifying, and to give details would be premature at this point, but anyway you look at it, I have been wronged here! Little by little it has gotten worse until now it is completely out of control! I wish I knew who the guilty party is because I am ready to fight and they truly deserve to feel the back of my hand! That's right, I've had it with you, whoever the hell, you are! You think it is all about you! Don't you? Look what you've done! I feel awful and my nerves are shattered. I think I'm going mad!
I have mixed emotions about leaving here, but I gotta get away for a long long while because I just can't be seen posting here if YOU are my neighbor! You have a strange way of getting your rocks off! Congratulations for putting me between a rock and a hard place, and leaving me without knowing what to do, but If you don't stop these petty, lowdown games, it won't take long before I find your crack smoking, stoned out ass, and you feel the storm of my fists raining down upon you! I will not hold back anything! Even if you jump on top of me I will go around and around with your ass until I'm winning ugly!
Can I get a witness to the name of the culprit? That would sure make me happy! If you have the information then send it to me. What a shame if you are sitting on a fence with the info and leaving me high and dry, without a clue! Someone give me the name so I can sleep tonight and wake up in the morning happily ready to call the proper authorities. I am waiting, and though this evil person thinks they will get off the hook for betraying me with this sad, sad, sad day, I can assure all of you it was the biggest mistake of their life! Time waits for no one. You stupid guy or stupid girl! Some guys and some girls just don't know when to quit! You do not have the luxury of time here. Time is on my side, baby!
If you send me an email then don't lie to me about who it is either! Given the situation, that would be too rude for words. I've had way too many lies told to me, and about me, this winter already!
Each and every day of the year I came to Gasland for my Stones connection. It has felt like a family here. There have been good times, bad times and everything in between, but the good times have far outweighed the bad. Everytime I post I feel like I am waiting on a friend to reply. For those of you who are truly my friends I will truly miss you when I'm gone. I'm moving on because I have no expectations of actually learning the name of the person who has served up this rough justice to me. It hurts me too! How can I stop posting here when I enjoy it so much? If you really want to be my friend then give me the information if you have it. Come on and let it loose, because I really want to be cool, calm and collected once again. Basically, I'm alright. I'm too tough and I simply refuse to be a slave to this situation for very long. Should no one give me the information I seek then just let me go elsewhere. If you let me, without asking me to stay, it will be easier on me. It's not easy to leave, but with these latest events it's all over now.
Is it just my imagination or are many of you laughing at me?
Till The Next Goodbye,
Travellin' Man

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year Holiday, got together with friends and family for some of the time... Wishing you all a Happy, safe, healthy and crafty 2018
Well it is high time for me to rejoin the blogging world, although I have not done any crafting this year, yet.... we have been having a hot hot hot summer which puts me off being in my craft space, I also needed to tidy my craft area for a couple of reasons, one being the switch over to the NBN network, rather than using a mobile wifi device (which in my case was always connected by cables to my PC), which has meant running cables from the new modem in the kitchen to my PC, thankfully all looked after by Dad and my Uncle and all under the house! Our home phone and internet bills are now less than half of what we were paying as a big bonus, the tidying also needed because my table had become over run with bits and pieces and needs a thorough clean up.... not to mention the very crafty Christmas I had...
I am sharing today the calendars I made using a template found online, I made 7 owls and so far one more masculine free standing calendar... I didn't remember to photograph all the owls so here are two of them.... all made with scraps (mostly hanging around my desk type scraps)
and here is the more masculine calendar which I made using a 5x7" card blank with an added 'w' folded card scrap to help keep it upright (card fold at the top)
I like the fold on the above calendar and am already planning on making these come the end of 2018...
What I used:- Owls
Cardstock in various colours
papers from stash- polka dot paper and doodlebug DP
Calendar blanks
Nesting circle dies
Tiny brads
Template from Papercraft inspirations
Adhesives:- Glue stick, Adhesive sheet, double sided tape and foam dots
These calendars have been well received, one friend telling me that she has had a snowy white owl visiting her garden, she thinks it is nesting in her neighbours yard as she sees it quite regularly.
What I used:- Masculine
White card scrap to create the prop at the bottom (looks like 'w')
Papers from stash of magazine freebies
Calendar blank
CCD Boat die
Say it in Crystals strips rounded to the circle edge
Wave shape die (not sure of maker)
Scrap papers from stash
Black fine line pen
Nesting circle die
Adhesives:- Double sided tape, adhesive sheet
I would like to enter these calendars in:-
Snippets Playground weeks 315-316 Must use snippets
Thank you for looking in...
Have a wonderful week...

What you need to know about the plague
- by Kelli Lowe
- in Health Care
- — Oct 27, 2017
The majority of cases involve the lungs, a form of the disease called "pneumonic" Pneumonic plague is particularly unsafe, because people with pneumonic plague can infect other persons by coughing at close range. Madagascar has been hit the worst, with reports of infection in 18 out of 22 regions.
It wasn't really all that long ago that the "black death" pandemics wiped out massive chunks of the population in various European and Asian cities.
The plague is caused by bacteria usually transmitted from rodents or fleas to humans.
The port city of Tamatave, also known as Toamasina, is home of about 300,000 people and has one of the highest concentrations of cases of pneumonic plague in the country with 261 cases and 10 fatalities since the beginning of the outbreak.
Sufferers are likely to have painful lymph nodes, chills, fever, headaches, weakness and fatigue.
When the infection reaches the bloodstream, it causes skin to turn black and die, hence its menacing name. Plague bacillus, Y. pestis, enters at the bite and travels through the lymphatic system to the nearest lymph node where it replicates itself. Human to human transmission of bubonic plague is rare.
The most common, but less unsafe form of the plague is the bubonic plague, causing "inflamed lymph nodes, which can then turn to puss-filled, open sores if the condition worsens", the report read.
James points the way in attack
The Cavs' bench accounted for 46 points and had a large role in keeping the game within reach after the Bulls' hot start. But with a Bulls backcourt struggling to score points, the 7-footer has become a viable option in their half-court sets.
Mueller Is Reportedly Investigating John Podesta's Brother in Connection With Russia Probe
Manafort's firm also filed a FARA registration after media reports in June disclosed its work in Ukraine from 2012 through 2014. The Podesta probe grew out of Mueller's inquiry into Manafort's finances, NBC News reported .
John Stamos gets engaged to Caitlin McHugh at Disneyland
After McHugh said yes, Stamos whisked his fiancée to 21 Royal where they shared the news and celebrated with their families. John Stamos , 54, is officially off the market, as he has announced his engagement to girlfriend Caitlin McHugh , 31.
Pneumonic plague, or lung-based plague, is the most virulent form of plague.
"Sometimes bubonic plague progresses to pneumonic plague' when the bacteria reaches the lungs'" reads the World Health Organization website's recently updated entry on plague. Any person with pneumonic plague may transmit the disease via droplets to other humans.
Strong trade links with Madagascar have been cited as one of the reasons putting South Africa at risk of an outbreak which has infected over a thousand people in the island nation.
Pneumonic, the most lethal form has broken out in Madagascar.
The organisation says that the overall risk of the plague is very high in Madagascar and that, depending on the type of plague, there is a 30 to 100% chance of death within 72 hours if it is left untreated.
Yes. All forms of the plague are treatable with antibiotics if diagnosed early enough.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Utah Jazz: Jazz guard Trey Burke reaches over the head of Pelicans forward Darius Miller

The New Orleans Pelicans' first two in-season transactions of the year announced on Sunday will certainly not be the last.
Cutting ties with forwards Darius Miller and Patric Young is merely a precursor to a likely move this week to add another piece, or pieces, to what has in the last week become an evolving roster.
A source confirmed on Monday that the Pelicans did, in fact, work out free-agent small forward Dante Cunningham on Sunday and that the team is doing its due diligence regarding Cunningham's scrape with the law last year – he was arrested on what was discovered to be a fabricated domestic abuse allegation – before the 6 foot 8, 230-pound fifth-year player can be added to the roster.
These roster moves were likely a result of the uncertain status of shooting guard Eric Gordon, who is attempting to rehabilitate a torn left labrum without surgery, and the Pelicans' uncertainty about the time table for his return.
And let's face it: the Pelicans were painfully thin in the depth department at small forward with Miller unable to step up to show he could be a dependable backup to Tyreke Evans.
Miller's final opportunity came in last Tuesday night's loss to the Sacramento Kings, a game in which Monty Williams inserted Miller into the starting lineup, switching Evans back to shooting guard to take the place of the injured Gordon.
In just over 14 minutes on the floor, Miller went 0 for 3 from the field and picked up three personal fouls, as small forward Omri Casspi seemed to score at will.
His last two games in a Pelicans' uniform on Friday at Atlanta and Saturday at Washington resulted in a pair of DNPs-coaches decision for Miller after Williams went back to a lineup that had Evans at the starting small forward spot with Austin Rivers at shooting guard.
"Darius' situation, we had him for three years, he wasn't in the rotation, and I tried to start him to give him an opportunity," Williams said on Monday. "We just felt like, in both situations, we wanted to create some flexibility in case we wanted to make some moves going forward.
"Obviously we value what those guys brought to the table. Patric, that was a difficult decision. We didn't know what it would be like with him going forward, but we felt the flexibility of having those roster spots in case we wanted to do something may help us."
Miller assuredly had his chances to prove what he could do with the Pelicans. His progress last year was retarded at the outset because of late-summer surgery to repair a foot fracture.
Yet it was clear during the playing time he did receive, Miller was not going to be the answer to the Pelicans' depth concerns at the small forward spot.
Since the decision was made to place Evans in the role as the starter there, New Orleans has continued to search for a dependable backup, giving Miller, Luke Babbitt and John Salmons a chance to prove their mettle.
For not, at least, it's still an open position.
"We're looking at a number of options," Williams said. "We've had a few guys playing in that spot and like I said the other day I don't want to change from game to game, but I will if I feel like it's going to help our team.
"Right now, when you score 80 points (in an 83-80 loss Saturday night against the Wizards), I felt bad about it after the game. Then I watched the film and we had so many open shots that we just didn't knock down. You can attribute that some to the small forward position. But John came in and played well for us. Luke came in in spot minutes and played well. They just didn't have enough time. We may have to change up the combinations."
Young, a rookie from Florida, was stuck in a rotational numbers game with the Pelicans. He wasn't going to see the floor playing behind Jeff Withey and Alexis Ajinca, two big-bodied centers with a little more experience.
And though Young has the ability to play power forward, too, he wouldn't play ahead of Ryan Anderson who is Anthony Davis' primary backup.
It's early in the season, and though the Pelicans are stuck in a three-game losing streak, the good news is as of Monday they were only a 1 ½ games out of the eighth playoff spot.
The bad news: four of the next six games come against Oklahoma City (buoyed by the return of Russell Westbrook and the possibly any-day comeback of MVP Kevin Durant), the Golden State Warriors, winners of nine straight, the Clippers (7-3 in their last 10) and the Mavericks (8-2 in their last 10).
If Cunningham is seen as a viable option, he has displayed an adequate mid-range jump shot (a 47.5 percent career shooter), can catch-and-shoot in a faster paced offense, moves without the ball and is committed to playing defense.
Should Cunningham be signed – and it could happen this week – the Pelicans will have taken a positive step toward resolving a troubling on-going issue.
