During my education I actually did a small research project with my sister, who was experiencing many of these same issues you are all stating after her gall bladder removal 5 years ago. I only performed 45 minutes of visceral massage on her for 5 treatments and she has reported to me a significant decrease in symptoms. After telling one of the faculty about my research she informed me that she also was experiencing these same symptoms after having her gall bladder removed some time ago. I suggested giving her a treatment as more research for my project and she too after receiving only 1-45 minute treatment has reported significant improvement to me.
It really is amazing work and I suggest doing your research and speaking with an LMT and your physician. It is not to say that this type of bodywork will have positive results for everyone, but massage is being more and more recognized as having so many benefits on various conditions and overall wellness.
Thanks for reading and I wish you all good health.

The coating on synthroid is held together with a type of tree bark. If you have outside allergies, this coating could make your allergies worse. Another ingredient in synthroid causes a lot of people with IBS issues to be allergic to this ingredient in synthroid. PLEASE check with your doctor and NEVER stop your medicine, or stop "cold turkey"! You will get sick!View Thread

The diagnosis of IBS tells you no more than what you have told the doctor: that you have irritable bowels. Often, it may be the result of a disruption in your nervous system; particularly the pain matrix in the brain (often found with tissue pain or chronic fatigue) becomes hypersensitive. However, if your doctor does not know what to look for, they will not find the cause.View Thread

I don't remember how I figured out how to get rid of the pain, but I did, and it works just about every time. It's not pretty, but it works. For me, I get down on all fours and and lay my head down on the ground so that my rear end is up in the air, like a cat in heat. Sometimes this immediately alleviates the pain and I can feel the gas making its way to the "exit." Sometimes I have to sit back up and squeeze my abdomen with my hands, kind of like making a girdle with my hands, and massage stuff around to get it moving, and then lay back in the previous position. It can take a minute or fifteen minutes, but it almost always works, even when the pain hurts so much that I literally feel it up in my chest, neck, face.
All those years in pain and for me it was such a simple solution.
I've also found that it helps to not let too much time go between eating meals. If I go, say, four hours or more between meals, I usually end up eating a big meal and then have a lot of pain and more trouble getting rid of the pain. If I nibble even a little in between it makes a huge difference.View Thread
17 years of life altering discomfort.
The proton pump inhibitors I had to take for 17 years finally had no positive effects. Now 2 years gluten free I have no heartburn, no diarrhea, no lactose intolerance ( it was the cereal, not the milk), no
vitamin B12 injections (proton pump inhibitors deplete the body of B-12), no acid reflux, no more proton pump inhibitors!View Thread
So, I'd like to put some resources out here for you that cover some of the most talked about topics. These will get you pointed in the right direction in your research:

I'm an easy going patient person with strong passion for gaming. Next to that, I feel joy and sensation working on projects that are very community friendly, because the whole interaction just feels so great. Creating something for others to enjoy. Nothing better than that. I'm probably most capable as marketings and production person, but have been involved with engine developments, modding and game development from various aspects covering programming, scripting, writing, game design, music and level design. Game Development is fun, but not easy. But heck, who can't handle the fire, should stay away from it. :) Teamwork divides the task but multiplies the success!

In a seemingly standard suburban sprawl outside the city of Farthington something has gone wrong. Sharp sidewalks and carefully clipped lawns hem in the town houses and flank the expected allotment of single homes. It's a quiet neighborhood, where everyone appears to know everyone else. But things are not always as they seem, and people are seldom only what their neighbors expect.
In one such innocuous yard a man naturally inclined to an animal grace staggers. Tall and broad shouldered like his elder son Max, and lean as his youngest,

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Invitations are very beautiful and elegant!! Received email proofs in a very timely manner as soon as I placed my order. The process of simple and all changes I wanted were able to be implemented. I am very satisfied with my purchase and am happy that I chose this company to make my invitations. I look forward to sending them out to all my guests! Special thanks to my proofer! This design matches my wedding style!! Thank you again!"
"I was able to personalize the response card to include many additional fields that were not on the initial template. This included three entrée choices and a vegetarian option, a kid's meal selection, a line for guests to write their allergies and the usual "RSVP" "M___________" "Please reply by" and "happily accepts" or "regretfully declines." It was a lot of information to put on the card, but the designer was able to format it beautifully so that it didn't look overcrowded or cluttered."
"An excellent addition to our invitations from the same suite. Would highly recommend this to those who want something timeless, yet unique when it comes to invitations!"
"We had to edit this card a great deal as we're going to have a cocktail reception. All our modifications were done as requested. My only regret now is that we're asking more than one person to reply per card and only after receiving them I noticed that the verbs are in the third person of the singular. We'll work around it."
"I customized this RSVP with my wedding website instead of all the options for food and attendance. It looks great and the designer was very helpful!"

i don't know what to do anymore
I feel like I'm responding a little late, but unfortunately, living in a different time zone can be a bit of a burden in situations like these.
I'm really sorry to hear you're having so many issues, especially since I basically have the same problems, except for the relationship thing, since I'm single and always have been, but I've felt that way with friends, so I can try to give a little advice, however unhelpful it might be. I'm going to tell you a lot about myself, since I don't want to start assuming anything about you and get everything totally wrong. Hopefully my experience can help you a bit.

LITTLEFIELD, TX (KCBD) - Littlefield is the new home to one of the fastest growing cotton seed business in the nation, and with cotton king on the South Plains, that's good news. In February, Bayer CropScience purchased Associated Farmers Delinting Inc. in Littlefield.
The facility is located in the heart of the agriculture community, and the Director of Operations for Bayer CropScience says their new location makes it easier to communicate with their customers, but it also gives them an opportunity to give back.
"Recently we bought some jackets for the volunteer fire department. We do things with the school, we hosted something with the senior class recently," Monty Christian said.
Bayer CropScience uses plant biotechnology to improve and produce high quality seed for farmers to output better crops.

Remove Search Restrictions
Remove the 50 apps limit from the phone and 100 app limit from the marketplace web site when users search for an app with a search term. If an app can not be found with its ideal keyword (becuase over a hundred apps already have used that search term) then new apps cannot be found with their ideal search terms. The concept of paging using skip and take very easily resolves this issue. It's quite dissapointing that a Bible app cannot be found with the search term bible.

Almost 4 years and still nothing has changed! What are you waiting for?!?!?
This is a great problem for ALL the new developers or new Apps.
pitchlab commented
The ability to filter by paid or free might help a little, purely because there is likely to be a mix of payment models, thus squeezing a bit more mileage out of the 50 result limit.
The ability to order the results in a way that biases towards recent releases would definitely help.
The bottom line, though, is that the 50 result limit introduces a crippling discontinuity into the search space navigation.
JZ commented
Same Problem here. My App is absolutely invisible in the store. Can anyone tell me what is the intention behind the limited search list. Until then, i quit every engagement for this platform.
Max Meng commented
oh dear, so this is a suggestion 3 years ago, where is the support..
pitchlab commented
I second this suggestion.
When searching the store from my test device (Lumia 520 / WP8) using the phrase "guitar tuner", the store browser app only returns around 50 results and I can't see any way to get more results.
When doing the same search via windowsphone.com, there are hundreds of results (of which my recently released app is one).
Unless I'm missing something, this gives established (i.e. old) apps an almost insurmountable advantage when there are more than 50 results for a given search phrase because newly released apps will start at the bottom of the rankings and thus be invisible.
I've previously released an Android and iOS app in the same utterly saturated category and moving up the rankings is very much dependent on a small number of 'early adopters' who are inquisitive enough to go searching through the bottom of the rankings looking for new apps.
Given that low ranking apps only turn up with via a search on windowsphone.com, this mechanism is pretty much lost.
Charles Brewer commented
Many people have told me that they are sticking with the Android system because it has more apps. If I do a search for the term bible on an android, I get over 1500 results ( it implements paging), WP7 I get 50? This doesn't just apply to a Bible app, it applies to almost anything that has ideal search keywords. I apologize for nagging but 50? C'mon! Where's the vision?

The Steve Bartman incident
AP Photo/Morry Gash, File
In this Oct. 14, 2003 file photo, Chicago Cubs left fielder Moises Alou's arm is seen reaching into the stands, at right, unsuccessfully for a foul ball along with a fan identified as Steve Bartman, left, wearing headphones, glasses and Cubs hat, during the eighth inning against the Florida Marlins in Game 6 of the National League Championship Seriesin Chicago.
One of the more infamous moments of fan overzealousness happened without a spectator ever setting foot on the field. In 2003, the Chicago Cubs were in prime position to possibly win their first World Series championships since 1908. In Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, the north siders held a 3-2 advantage in the series and a 3-0 lead heading into the eighth inning against the upstart Florida Marlins. With one out, Marlins second baseman Luis Castillo hit a foul ball that headed for the left field stands. Cubs left fielder Moises Alou tried to catch the ball, but was prevented from doing so by hometown fan Steve Bartman. And then the Cubs went off the rails. The Marlins scored eight runs in the inning on the way to a Game 6 win and won Game 7 the next day as the Cubs' World Series draught stretched to 95 years. Cubs fans were so livid with Bartman that his house had to be guarded by as many as six local police cars to prevent attacks.

Idiosyncratic and exuberant are two good words to start with when talking about French designers and visual artists, Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz. Since 1993, they've applied their surreal and dreamlike common vision to furniature, graphic art and anything else that's come their way. They re-designed Christian Lacroix's couture house's visual identity in 2002, and have been designing the invitation cards to his shows ever since. They regularly exhibit in galleries, and in 2009 their first retrospective show was help at Le Musée de Arts Décoratifs, Paris.
To celebrate the release of their Main Stage talk from last year (in which the guys totally charmed the audience), we caught up with them for our trademarked five question catch-up.
Hello guys! How's life and work been going for you since we saw you last year?
Good. We've had a solo exhibition at Claire Gastaud Gallery in Clermont-Ferrand; posters, books and other materials for contemporary art exhibitions in Avignon and Valence; posters, season brochure for Clermont-Ferrand theatre; posters and brochures for CNDC in Angers… and we're honored to be members of AGI (Alliance Graphique Internationale) since October!
Congratulations, that's a huge achievement. We knew you were something special when you were over in Dublin. How was your OFFSET experience?
Frankly, it was a warm and great moment — both on stage and off stage. It gave us the opportunity to see again old friends and to meet new ones.
What about this year – who from the speaker list would you like to see?
Bob Gill, Kate Moross and Hvass&Hannibal to name a few.
We're looking forward to them too. Tell us what you have planned for the rest of 2013…
More and more personal projects.
Can we have a look at what you've been up to?

Kelly Gray (born April 7, 1981 in Palo Alto, California) is an American soccer player who currently plays for San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer.
Gray played forward and midfielder at the University of Portland from 1999 to 2001. He scored a total of 32 goals and 12 assists in his three years for the Pilots and was voted a second-team All-American and first-team All-WCC as a junior.
After his junior season, Gray signed a Project-40 contract with MLS, and was selected fifth overall in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft by the Chicago Fire. Gray made an immediate impact with the Fire, starting twenty games as a rookie while scoring two goals and five assists. He appeared in 28 games in 2003, again starting twenty, while scoring two goals and one assist. While playing more defensively in 2004, he started 23 games for the Fire, scoring one goal. Gray's versatility may have been a hindrance to his development, however, as even three years into his career with the Fire, it is unclear what his position should be; although a consistent starter, he was longing to play in his hometown.

So I decided to make a click and drag considering i have never seen one in this fandom before : /
inspired by this post
it was a pain in the butt to make (two days!) so if you repost what you got, please link it back to this! plus, i really want to see what you got lol

Normally I don't reblog these but Dany's was so perfect I couldn't help it.
I grew up in the forest with the leafmen, I'm in love with older hiccup (I assume we have some shared interests) My best friend is Merida. Her occupation is queen (but of course). Her worst enemy is Hans, and her sidekick is Toothless. (Obviously)
I have never had something work out so perfectly before.

Floyd County Board of Supervisors Meeting
February 1, 2010, 9:00 AM
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors met for a workshop meeting at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, February 1, 2010, in the Board Room of the Floyd County Courthouse with the following in attendance: Chairman Dunkel, Supv Enabnit and Supv Staudt.
Enabnit/Staudt moved to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 3-0.
Jesse Marzen, County Attorney, and the Board discussed his FY11 budget and funding the FY10 budget for Public Defender.
Marzen notified the Board that Jenny Tracy, Paralegal, resigned last Friday, effective immediately.
Sheriff Deputies Crooks, Bartz and Kostka and the Board discussed contract negotiations for the Floyd County Deputy Sheriff's Association. The board countered the previous proposal with no additional sick day increase, allowing the vision care program and offering a 2% increase each year for three years. Discussion included deputies at one time being paid 80% of the Sheriff's wage, how other certain employees may receive increases for FY11, and the comparing other counties wages to Floyd. The Auditor will gather wage information from other counties. Deputy Crooks will visit with the other deputies and negotiations will continue at next Monday's workshop meeting.
The Board noted the Formation of Floyd County Search and Rescue Advisor Board and the Financial Guidance for Floyd County Emergency Management Commission and Floyd County Board of Supervisors with Floyd County Search and Rescue.
The Board noted the announcement of RAGBRAI having an overnight stay in July.
Stan Goddard requested that the Board have a bigger culvert put in on 240th St by Midway Bridge. Goddard also commented about the east side of the bridge washing out. The Board will visit with the County Engineer about the culvert issue and about putting rip rap on the bank by the bridge.
Supv Dunkel discussed concerns he has about properties throughout the county that may not be zoned properly and a means of county staff putting steps in place to communicate with each other when buildings are erected, business start and how to address certain businesses in the unincorporated areas of the county. Discussion including identifying various businesses throughout the county, requiring building permits county-wide including agriculture property although they are exempt from fees, current zoning requirements and criteria for "conditional use" permits, ag related businesses, family businesses, and businesses with non-family employees. Jeff Sherman, Zoning/E911 Addressing/Sanitarian Director, was asked to visit with the Assessor and to develop a plan on identifying and communicating property changes between various county departments.
The Board discussed a request to have Case Management staff hours be changed from 37.5 hours per week to 40 hours per week. The Board directed Bob Lincoln, CPC/Case Management Director, to provide a formal request and to modify his budget accordingly.
The Board noted the FY09 audit reports for the Charles City Area Development Corporation and North Iowa Juvenile Detention Services Commission.
Jill Streich and Shelley Smith, FOCUS Coalition Development Specialists, requested county funding for FY11 in conjunction with the substance abuse grant offered by the Iowa Department of Public Health. The IDPH grant offers a 75/25 county/state match for substance abuse prevention/awareness services. FOCUS would like to improve upon and possibly add more substance abuse prevention programs within the Floyd County school districts. Without the county/state funding opportunity, FOCUS would not be able to do so. The County is in its tenth year of allowing Prairie Ridge Treatment Addiction Services (PRATS) to apply through the County for the IDPH grant. In addition to providing substance abuse prevention services, PRATS has reached a goal of attaining a $10 million reserve fund balance. At last month's PRATS Board meeting, Supv Enabnit learned that PRATS will request that the counties apply for the IDPH grant for another year for their services. The Board requested a letter from FOCUS specifying their specific amount requested from the county, how they will use the grant funds, and a FOCUS budget.
Streich also mentioned that FOCUS is working with the County Attorney on a Minor Consumption Ordinance. They are working on some language issues and hope to end up with an ordinance that will be a template for other counties as well as for the state legislatures.
Chairman Dunkel inquired with the Board about hiring outside counsel to discuss a personnel issue. The Board agreed that personnel issues do not need to come to the full board unless there is a lawsuit or an employee requests to speak to the full Board and then could do so in a closed session. The Chair and Auditor will determine how to proceed.
The Board continued with the FY11 budget review. Discussion included increasing a line item in the Sheriff's budget to allow for housing a juvenile being tried as an adult, reducing the grant request from the Greene Ambulance, the Nora Springs Ambulance not needing county funding for FY11, funding needs for Case Management and Mental Health, the wage review process and reviewing grant requests.
Future agenda – RAGBRAI issues the county needs to address and ISAC's request for funding a Calhoun County lawsuit.
A motion was made by Supervisor Staudt and seconded by Supervisor Enabnit to adjourn. Motion carried 3-0.
Gloria A. Carr Warren K. Dunkel, Chair

Hopefully everyone out there is doing well and recovering from the loss of power/housing/angry birds that may have resulted from Sandy. I know power is still out in the majority of the 203 so this weekend's trips to the car wash may have to be postponed. Sean gives a pretty insightful into his creative process. Also on the horizon, A$AP is planning to drop his latest LP within the next couple of weeks.

For years the University of Pennsylvania's Ivy in Your Backyard event served as an information session and recruitment event for Philadelphia students considering the Ivy League university. After a hiatus of more than a decade, the event returns, but this time with a broader purpose.
"With everything going on in the School District this year, we decided it would be best to take that same branding element of Ivy in Your Backyard, but really open ourselves as a resource to Philadelphia students, since many schools do not have access to a full-time counselor," said Danielle Branch, Philadelphia region admissions director at the University of Pennsylvania.
by Isaac Riddle
Applying to college can be a frustrating process for high school students, especially when many schools, like those in the School District of Philadelphia, are without a full-time guidance counselor.
But Philadelphia Futures is hoping to help fill the gap with the release of its 24th annual edition of the Step Up to College: Guide to the College Preparation, Application, Admissions and Financial Aid Processes.
by Kofi Biney
For many Black male student-athletes in Philadelphia, intercollegiate sports are perceived as a ticket to post-secondary success, especially when looking at area colleges like Penn State and Villanova, where the graduation rates for Black male athletes is 78 percent. But many colleges and universities are actually failing at the game of graduating these students, according to a report released by the Penn Graduate School of Education's Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education.
While high-stakes testing continues unabated, educators skeptical of the annual assessments are not just experimenting, but making headway in finding better ways to evaluate – and improve – student learning and whole-school performance.
The latest edition of the annual Philadelphia college admissions guide Step Up to College has been released. The guide is free and published by Philadelphia Futures, an organization that helps prepare underrepresented youth for college.
New to this year's guide is an added emphasis on what the demands of career, workplace, and today's difficult job market mean for today's college-bound student.
I hope the issue on college access and success (Focus on a Broken Pipeline to College, Summer 2012) motivates high school and college staff to ramp up efforts to prepare high school students for college and ensure that colleges provide needed support to earn a degree.
Undocumented immigrant students face a number of significant obstacles on the path to college. The College Board is seeking to make that process a little easier with its recently released resource guide for undocumented students planning for college.
The resource guide was released just weeks before President Obama issued an executive order that will enable undocumented youth to delay deportation and apply for work permits.
I haven't graduated from college just yet, but the stories told in the Inquirer's series "Struggling for Work: The Broken Dreams of a New Generation" have overwhelmed me.
According to the series, students in Pennsylvania carry an average debt of more than $28,000 by graduation.
I am now facing outstanding student loans of $17,000 to $22,000, and counting. I have six classes remaining – a total of 19 credits -- to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Temple University's School of Communications.
One of the biggest concerns for college students is how to pay for it. The Notebook asked Karen Campbell and Thomas Butler, two college placement experts, to explain how students can finance their post-secondary education without breaking the bank.
What do you suggest in terms of researching the money issue?
So, how's Temple?
Funny, last year at this time, I graduated from the Community College of Philadelphia and asked the same exact question of students I knew at Temple University. Now, when I visit CCP, I get asked the question.
So far, Temple has been great. It is challenging at times, but I wouldn't change it. CCP prepared me to know what to expect of college-level work and how to best tackle it. CCP taught me those skills I was lacking a few years prior.

Samir Georges
I knew a stranger once
a stranger like there never was,
upon a shadow and a distant sun
I chanced this shade drifting some
draping my path in apathy
shrouding our meeting within obscurity.
Sights upon the coming night
I stood beneath a warmth in flight,
embers reaching down beneath this distance
that trace my soul up from the dimness
to cast my shadow afore my steps
yearning for a star to breach the depths.
And so, I met a stranger once
a stranger like there never was,
with eyes that held that faded star
with all its warmth upon my heart,
this stranger fading with the light
meets just another waning sprite.
Here these two stranger's blessed
in crossing to share a shadow's crest,
coaxed by a sun in twilight's heat
as the stars themselves they stretch to meet.
So she passes me and her eyes divert,
the sun has faded and the night is curt.

Dean Wins GOP Nomination For Attorney General
The CT Mirror's Keith Phaneuf reports:
Avon lawyer Martha Dean captured the Republican nomination for attorney general tonight, capturing 60 percent of the vote in her contest with Ross Garber of Glastonbury, according to unofficial results.
Garber, was chief legal counsel to former Gov. John G. Rowland during the latter's 2004 impeachment inquiry, conceded around 10 p.m.
"I've never seen the polls so empty," said Dean, who credited her grassroots campaign effort for allowing her to face Ridgefield attorney George C. Jepsen, a former state Senate majority leader, in the general election. "But we had great volunteers all around the state working very hard, going door to door over the last month."
Dean, who centered her campaign on a message of economic liberty and restraint against unnecessary government interference, became embroiled in a heated race against Garber.
While Dean threatened to sue Garber over a flier she argued misrepresented her position on decriminalization of certain drug offenses. "I believe we had the right message, Dean added. "We stayed positive and we stayed on message."
Garber got a late start, entering the race only one week before the state convention. But he refused to blame his loss on the late start. "I'll leave that to the pundits," he said. "We worked hard. It was an important race to run. I'm happy I ran it."

While prancing around through ancient Egypt and you feel like a interesting mental game, just do the following: combining pairs of cards that add up to 13.
The Kings count 13, and you can remove them on their own, the Queens count 12, the Jacks 11 and the Aces are worth 1. The rest are as valuable as the numbers on them.
To help you out a bit, and believe me you will need it, you can place a card temporarily in the temp card store. Sooner than later you will need it to complete a pair.
Speed is however crucial when enjoying this solitaire game. You need to make sure that you run through the combinations as quickly as possible. If you remove cards, you score and time bonus increases. If you wait too long to make a new move, the time bonus starts dropping and doesn't stop!
If you keep up the speed, you can make sure that you get a good score even if you go bust. When you go bust you are give the option to take the points. Doing this makes it possible to start working on your top 10 scores. I just like chasing my own scores and bettering them the whole time.

Ryan Attends Illinois Pro Day
Source: DustinKeller81 - Mar 19, 2011 at 5:15 PM
Rich Cimini from ESPN New York reports. What does a head coach do during a lockout? If you're Rex Ryan, you get out of the office to do some scouting. The Jets' coach was in Champaign, Illinois, Wednesday to attend the Illinois Pro Day. Why Illinois? The school has three potential first-round picks — DT Corey Liuget, RB Mikel Lishoure and LB Martez Wilson. Presumably, Ryan was there to check out the defensive players; it will be an upset if the Jets don't go defense with their first-round pick (30th overall). Ryan apparently made quite an impression on Liuget. "I love coach Rex," Liuget told the Chicago Tribune. "He asked me if my last name was Ryan. He definitely is a comedian. He is a funny guy." Liuget (6-2, 298)

Cost lovel: $ if that… (we used all left over supplies)
First step, cut the fabric to fit the surface of the cork board and allow for some to wrap behind to the back. Spray the tacky spray on the surface of the cork board and lay the fabric down. Gently smooth out the bubbles or creases till the fabric is smooth. Wrap the rest of the fabric behind the board and spray it down as well.
Next, lay down the pattern piece that you want to have as your big piece. We choose a heart because of Valentine's Day and the little image inside the heart, our last name initial, a C. You can choose any two shapes.
With the straight pins, begin to outline the edges of the shape. Space them equally apart between 1/4 to 1/2 an inch.
Make your way around the entire shape.
Once you have gone around the entire shape, gently tear away the shape.
Somewhere inside the completed pinned shape, we choose the bottom left corner, repeat the process with your other smaller shape.
Now you are ready for the string!
You want to unwind a decent amount of string from your spool, but DO NOT cut it yet.
Take the end of the string and tie it around one pin; we started at the very end of our heart.
Begin to wrap your string around each pin of the little shape and back to the bigger shape. This can be complicated so make sure you look at the next couple of pictures. Taking the string from the bigger shape, wrap it around one of the pins of the littler shape and then to a different pin on the bigger shape. Since there are more pins on the bigger shape, you can wrap the string more than once on the littler shape. See below:
Make your way around the entire shape; this can be tedious, just take your time. When you get to the end, cut the string and tie it to another pin.
To make our littler shape stand out more. We cut the shape our of some bright colored felt and placed it inside the shape.
The great thing about this project is you can literally do any two shapes, like this one we made of Ireland, the heart is over our favorite city:
What two shapes will you use?

The Oyster's Pearl and Richwood Creations
First, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Not just one, but TWO incredible handmade goods are up on our Facebook page for our 7 Days of Lovely Giveaways.
Husband and wife team, Brad and Emily Weckesser, are the epitome of a creative, power couple. Brad has a passion for woodworking and ceramics, and Emily is a master at design and print making. Put these two together and boom: amazing creations. We bet their house is bursting with handmade goodness!
Make sure you stop by their Facebook pages as well to see what new products they are making (you will also need to like each one as part of entry to the giveaway). Find The Oyster's Pearl here and Richwood Creations here.
We asked these two fun questions about handmade, love and why they create. Read more to see if their answers match each others!
Tell us about yourself :
Brad- I'm an Ohio native who currently lives in the mountains of West Virginia with my wife. I run two Etsy shops, one selling custom engraved wood housewares and another selling custom pottery. I spent a year teaching high school and running my ceramics shop online before deciding to venture into handmade full-time. I spend my days alternating between the wood shop and the potter's wheel. I enjoy playing the banjo, reading, and drinking coffee.
Emily- I am an Indiana native who now lives in WV with Brad, my husband. My days are full of design work and running The Oyster's Pearl full time via Etsy selling unique paper goods, wedding invitations and home decore. I love to travel, design, craft and spending quality time with the many lovely people in my life. During the day, I try to work from home without being distracted by instruments, Pinterest, and afternoon naps.
Brad's Other Answers:
Favorite thing about Valentine's Day:
It gives me an occasion to be creative for my wife.
Why do you love to create?
I feel the most connected to the passions and longings within me when I am creating, making, building and designing something.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I don't believe in true love at first sight, but I would say there could be some unexplainable connections right away.
Favorite Romantic movie and why?
I think Braveheart is a great romantic movie. William Wallace is fueled by losing his new wife… to kill the English.
What handmade means to you:
Handmade means the ability and freedom to do the things you love in the endless ways of expressing your creativity and self.
Favorite sweet thing to eat:
Ice Cream. Any time, any day.
Do you have a favorite handmade product that isn't yours?
Yes, my wife made some very creative invites for our wedding.
Best thing to do on a date?
Go on new adventures together.
Emily's Other Answers:
Having an excuse to create and buy cute things for loved ones.
Why you love to create:
I really enjoy the process, but I honestly love the end result- having something beautiful that I can use or look at every day as well as the satisfaction of having made it.
Favorite Romantic movie and why:
The Notebook! I think I captured everyone's hearts because their love endures the test of time and hardship- there's nothing like seeing two people in love until the day they die.
What does handmade mean to you:
To me, handmade has been an incredible global movement of talented people offering their gifts to the world; it has also been a big movement in my own small family, with my husband and I both relying entirely on those who support handmade for our work. So while technically it's my hobby-turned-job, it has completely changed the way I think, dream, work and live.
I really can't resist a Nerd's Rope. My husband, Brad, got them for me in bulk last Valentine's Day :).
Top 5 Love Songs:
1. "Swept Away" by the Avett Brothers, 2. "La Vie en Rose" by Louie Armstrong, 3. "Can I Stay?" by Ray Lamontagne, 4. "Dancing in the Minefields" by Andrew Peterson, 5. "You Make My Dreams" by Hall and Oates.
I do! My husband makes and sells custom hand-stamped pottery. Shortly after we got engaged, he surprised me with a beautiful mug that had my future initials on it. It really hit me then that I was going to be his wife, and that I would be changing my name! I have treasured it ever since.
What is the best thing to do on a date?
Share delicious food and drink and compelling conversation.
Aren't these two awesome? Make sure you check our Brad's other shop, Weckery. His pottery really really special.
Thank you all for participating in our 7 Days of Giveaways. We hope you loved it as much as we did. We are sad to see it it end but it gives us something to look forward to in the future!
There are pieces of jewelry and then there are PIECES of jewelry. Pieces that make you stop and go WOW! Add a dash of handmade goodness and you get Esther Kao and her company, EstieMade.
Not only is Esther Kao a talented blogger (see her blog here) and DIY enthusiast, she is a guest blogger on our Let's Get Crafty Tuesday posts every month, and she is a fantastic artist as well.
With mixes of natural stone and elements of nature, Esther makes earthy but chic pieces that we absolutely love.
We have an amazing giveaway for you. To see what piece of Esther's collection we are giving away, head on over to our Facebook page, while you are there, go ahead and like EstieMade's page. You will need to like her page in order to be entered in the giveaway.
Before you enter into this fantastic giveaway, read below to find out more about this cool chick and what her favorite love songs are (trust us, they are good!).
Tell us about yourself:
I grew up in a small suburb of Massachusetts, but now call Dallas home. Growing up, I enjoyed arts and crafts time, and loved using my hands to make things. Over the years, that passion has translated into making crafts and blogging about it, and making jewelry to sell on Etsy and at local craft shows.
I know it's become a commercialized holiday, but I love that Valentine's Day reminds me to appreciate my other half. It doesn't have to mean going to a fancy dinner and getting a dozen roses. For us, it means just spending quality time together that day.
Why do you love to create:
I love turning old things into new. It's really fun! And I love how crafting brings people together.
Sure do!
Favorite Romantic Movie and why?
Moonrise Kingdom! It's not technically a romantic movie, but I really like how simple and cute the love was between Susie and Sam.
What does handmade mean to you?
To me, handmade means that the item was designed and created with love. Handmade artists are passionate about what they make (and create because they love it, not because they want to earn money). And this passion shows in the quality and craftsmanship of the finished good.
Favorite sweet thing to eat?
There are too many choices! But if I had to pick, I'd say a good pistachio or salted caramel macaroon.
Top 5 Love Songs:
1. Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso, 2. I Want to Hold Your Hand, The Beatles, 3. Your Song, Elton John, 4. All Out of Love, Air Supply, 5. More than Words, Extreme
Best and Worst Valentine's Day Experience:
My husband and I dated long distance for 4.5 years, so I cherished the times we actually got to celebrate Valentine's Day together. The best happened a couple of years ago, when he flew in to visit and proposed! It happened a week before the 14th, but it was such a great surprise. I am happy to say I haven't had a bad Valentine's Day so far.
Do you have a favorite handmade product that isn't yours?
Lots and lots! My current faves are rings from F is for Frank. They're a Dallas-based duo that makes really fun and funky jewelry out of cast pewter, then dip it into gold. I've got three of their rings, and I wear them all the times.
If you could share a cupcake with anyone dead or alive, who would it be and why?
My mom. I don't get to spend a lot of time with her because we live in different states, so it'd be nice to share that cupcake and catch up.
I'm pretty laid back! A fun date would be going on a walk or hike on a nice day (I love being outside), then going somewhere for good food and a craft beer!
We love Esther and EstieMade! Make sure you follow her on Twitter and Instagram at WhollyKao!
Emily McDowell Illustrations
We here at Umba Box absolutely love Emily McDowell Illustration. If you have taken a look at our logo before, which we bet you have, if not, take a gander to the left on this blog and you shall see it. Well, if you are wondering what magical person designed such logo, you are in luck. Today's giveaway and post is about said person, Emily McDowell and her amazing Illustrations.
We love typography, flourishes, hand-drawn illustrations, fun colors and all things inspirational. So Umba Box and Emily McDowell are a match made in artistic, creative heaven.
We wanted to pass on her talent to the rest of our Umba Box community, which leads us to Day 5 in our 7 Days of Lovely Giveaways. We are giving away a sweet and inspirational print hand-illustrated by Emily McDowell herself. To see it, head to our Facebook page and enter to win. It is the type of print you will hold onto for years to come. Make sure you check out Emily's page as well, if this isn't your first rodeo giveaway with us, you know the drill, but you must like her page in order to enter the giveaway.
If you want to know more about this fun loving gal and her artistic expression, not to mention her amazing sense of humor, please read her fun interview below. And if you ever need a note forged for your teacher, we know just the woman to call…
I grew up outside Boston, and my first job was forging parent signatures on my fifth grade classmate's math packets for a dollar a piece. I went to Minnesota for college and majored in English, and when I graduated it was the Internet boom, so I want to San Francisco and worked at a startup. AFter that company went under, I had a series of jobs that eventually led me into advertising, where I spent eight years as an art director, copywriter and creative director at ad agencies around the country. In 2011, I quit my job to make more things that weren't ads, and no I divide my time between illustration and design, and doing freelance advertising work as a writer/ creative director. I love outside of Los Angeles with my boyfriend Seth, his 7 year old son, and my 14 year old, 21 pound cat who thinks he's a person.
Candy! Also, pink and red together make me happy (Us too!)
No. I believe in "that person is hella cute" at first sight.
To me, handmade means translating an idea that starts in my head into something other people can hold and relate to, which is just about the most rewarding process ever. A handmade object is a tangible representation of human connection and energy, and that's pretty special.
Flour-less chocolate cake with sea salt (O wow, recipe please?).
Best and Worst Valentine's Day experience?
This isn't really very romantic, but the best was last year, when McSweeney's ran a piece I wrote about my years of online dating as their featured Valentine's Day story. And without all my crappy Valentine's Days, I would have had way less material to write about.
There is this guy who makes vegan Korean food and sells it at all the LA Farmer's Markets; his name is Dave and his brand i just called Dave's. I will follow Dave anywhere. I'm not even vegan (or Korean). That's how good it is.
I firmly believe dating is not about what you do, it's who you do it with. That said, don't go out for dinner on a first date. There's not enough opportunity for a swift and graceful exit if it doesn't go well.
Isn't Emily awesome? We certainly think so! Make sure you follow her on Instagram and Twitter, both @EmilyMadeIt. She is too funny, we guarantee a good chuckle!
Zelma Rose
When it comes to our jewelry, we love pieces that are expressive, unique and have that special WOW factor to them. So naturally, when our eyes first saw Zelma Rose Necklaces… it was love at first sight!
Lisa Shaffer, sewing maven and fantastic designer is the founder and creator of Zelma Rose. She not only employs an age old family love to handcrafting goods, but loves to add the modern to the classic in each piece. Math is not our forte but that addition makes total sense to us!
We especially love the cross-stitched heart necklace and thought it would be amazing to share one of these necklaces with you and is today's giveaway over on our Facebook Wall. (Also check our Zelma Rose's FB wall as well, you will need to like it in order to enter the giveaway!)
Before you leave us and want to go enter into the giveaway (which we strongly hope you do), please stay a while and get to know Lisa, Zelma Rose and what is surprisingly her favorite romantic movie (you will never guess what it is!).
Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I am the owner and head designer at Zelma Rose. I am a mom, designer, psychotherapist, business consultant, blogger (check out her blog here), and wanna be hip hop expert. I enjoy discovering the inner workings of all things and once spent an entire summer drawing broccoli. I am married to an enchanting man named Matt and we are Mama and Papa Bear to our daughter, the Bean and dog Sherman. I have lived and worked in San Francisco for nearly 15 years and I am still head over heels for the City by the Bay.
It is so often that we forget to tell the people closest to us that we love them. Valentine's Day is a nice reminder to get the year started off right and tell people over and over again that they are loved.
Why do you create?
Creating is as essential to me as breathing. I wouldn't know how to not make something, alter it, or just leave it be. I might be kind of a nuisance actually! Making allows me to communicate with the world in a whole other way. It's quiet, but impactful.
Do you believe in love at first site?
Yes, although there is such a thing as love at second sight! I was so not impressed with my husband the first time we met. Add a 3,000 mile location change, a few years, and it took just a minute to be head over heels.
Favorite romantic movie:
The Graduate. Probably not what you would expect! This film in no way tries to organize love. It's messy, all over the place and makes us do and say strange things. Totally unpredictable, and I think that is really what love is all about.
Handmade to me means that there is an artist having a conversation with materials, process and design. Handmade is personal, intimate, and a relationship with a product.
Cookies, cookies, cookies. If I had to choose, macaroons, but not the fancy french ones. The hardcore Italian bakery ones. Coconut, egg whites, sugar and vanilla.
Top 5 love songs:
1. Theme from Mahogany, 2. Oh Yoko, 3. It Had to Be You, 4. Wicked Game, 5. Kathy's Song
Best and Worst Valentine's Day experiences:
The best Valentine's Day was when my husband surprised me at my office with beautiful roses. I don't think I've ever really had a terrible one.
Favorite handmade product that isn't yours:
I LOVE handmade shoes.
Who would you share a cupcake with dead or alive:
Always a cupcake with my daughter, she rules!
What would be the best Valentine's Day Date:
I always loved bowling dates. Casual, competitive, great music, and fun. You can really see what a person is like.
Isn't she fun? We just love that picture of her blowing glitter into the camera. We think that is a perfect portrait of her and her creativity. Make sure you follow Lisa on Twitter, @ZelmaRoseCurios and Instagram @ZelmaRose.

Brad writes,
Hey Bro,Absolutely, Bro. I love the trolley problems more than Rebecca Black loves Friday. They're used to examine important ethical dilemmas; wrestling with them is a staple of any education in philosophy, like being asked how you know over and over or pulling out your hair and yelling, "THAT'S A FUCKING CIRCLE, DESCARTES". It's a moment we've all had. But they're used in a whole host of other cool ways, too.
Do you think you could go over the Trolley Problem? You know, where a trolley full of bros is barreling toward a cliff and the only way to save those bros is to divert the path of the trolley so that it hits and kills some other bro. What's a bro to do?
So let's start with the basic TP, stated in the question above. If you pull this lever, you switch the tracks and save the lives of, say, 5 bros - but the track that you switch it to has a bro on it who can't get out of the way in time, and he'll be killed. Decision time!

NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆö A couple of bunts and a couple of stolen bases decided the Division II-NorthŌĆÖs best pitchersŌĆÖ duel of the young season on Friday.
Jessica TremblayŌĆÖs safety squeeze bunt in the bottom of the third inning drove in Jamie LaFazia with the run that allowed North Smithfield sophomore Karissa Carlton to outduel Burrillville junior Cassidy Tedeschi and the host Northmen to squeak out a 1-0 victory that took 85 minutes to complete.
Carlton and Tedeschi were clearly the story of the afternoon, as both ace righthanders ended up with superb one-hitters and double digits in strikeouts.
Carlton, who struck out 14 batters in a season-opening 4-3 loss to Woonsocket three days earlier, ended up with 11 whiffs, as she struck out the side in the third and sixth innings. She also walked three batters, retired nine of the last 10 batters she faced, and allowed just two batted balls (both in the sixth inning) to reach the outfield.
Tedeschi, who had 11 ŌĆśKŌĆÖs in her teamŌĆÖs season-opening 3-2 victory over Scituate on Tuesday, finished the game with more strikeouts (13), including the side in the first two innings, four walks, and only one batted ball out of the infield. But unlike Carlton, she couldnŌĆÖt pick up the stat that mattered the most -- the ŌĆśWŌĆÖ.
The Northmen picked up their run when LaFazia led off by reaching base on a throwing error on her bunt to the left side of the infield. Tedeschi came back to strike out the next batter, but on the first pitch to Tremblay, LaFazia stole second base.
Two pitches later, LaFazia swiped third base without a throw, and on the next pitch, Tremblay dropped a bunt in front of the mound. Tedeschi scooped it up, and as soon as she threw the ball to first, LaFazia broke for the plate and scored without a throw.
ŌĆ£The first two innings, I wasnŌĆÖt happy with our execution,ŌĆØ said N.S. coach Tom Bourgeois. ŌĆ£But in the third inning, from then on, our execution was good. We have to get those bunts down in critical situations. In the third, Jamie started it off with a bunt and Jess finished it with a bunt. Awesome, awesome. ThatŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖre looking for.ŌĆØ
The inning before, the Northmen had a golden opportunity to score their first run when Angela Pasquarielli led off with a walk, and with one gone, found herself on third via a delayed steal of second base and a throwing error. But Tedeschi bore down and stranded Pasquarelli on third by striking out the next two batters.
BurrillvilleŌĆÖs best chance to score came in the fourth. Mikayla Fernandez led off with a walk, and after she stole second on the first pitch to the next batter, Ashley Spear, she raced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Spear. But Carlton also got out of the jam unscathed with two quick outs -- a popout to second baseman Tara Larson and a strikeout.
Both Carlton and Tedeschi also quietly carried no-hit bids into the latter part of the game before losing them. Tedeschi lost her bid with two gone in the fifth on a bunt single by LaFazia, who was across the bag before catcher Victoria LibbyŌĆÖs throw to first hit her in the back, and CarltonŌĆÖs no-no was gone with one out in the sixth on a line single to right by Fernandez.
The victory was also a perfect way for the Northmen to bounce back from their defeat to the Villa Novans. who overcame CarltonŌĆÖs excellent game on the mound to win the game in eight innings via the international tiebreaker rule.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm glad with the way the girls responded,ŌĆØ said Bourgeois. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs what (assistant coach) Paul (Mercier) and I were looking for, and I canŌĆÖt be any prouder of the way they bounced back today.ŌĆØ
Both teams are back in action next Tuesday afternoon, with the Northmen visiting Ponaganset at 3:45 p.m. and the Broncos hosting North Providence at 3:30 p.m.

MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - Entergy's Louisiana utility spokesmen say its companies are prepared to respond to any power outages in north Louisiana that could be caused by the winter weather system moving across the state today.
The National Weather Service has issued an ice storm warning for the northern portion of the state as well as parts of Arkansas and Mississippi. As much as an eighth to a quarter inch of ice and isolated areas of snow are predicted to accumulate from Shreveport to the Louisiana/Mississippi border.
According to the spokesmen, Entergy officials have been working with the company's weather experts in advance of the storm to better understand the potential risk and prepare accordingly. Entergy's crews are on standby and ready to safely restore power as quickly as possible.
Entergy is urging its customers to monitor the storm and to prepare to implement their own storm plans if needed. Customers also are encouraged to download Entergy's mobile app to quickly access outage maps and information.
Safety is the first priority. Call 1-800-9OUTAGE (1-800-968-8243) to report downed or dangling power lines, poles or other damaged equipment.
Live wires can be deadly. Stay away from downed power lines.
Do not venture into standing water or areas of debris since power lines that still could be energized and dangerous may not be visible. Keep away from metal fences and other objects that can become energized if they come in contact with downed power lines.
Stay a safe distance away from active work zones and restoration workers on the job. Entergy's first priority is the safety of the public and our emergency workers.
Don't trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. Only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines.
If you are without electric power, turn off your breakers or remove fuses now. This is to protect your home from a threat of fire if your internal wiring has been damaged.
Do a visual inspection of your electrical equipment where the utility lines attach to your house. If you see damage to the house connection, the pipe that carries the wire to the meter or damage to the meter box that surrounds the meter, you may need to call an electrician. Do not use a ladder to make this inspection. Your electrician should be the one who makes a close inspection.
If you plan on using a generator for temporary power, get a licensed electrician and disconnect from the utility electric system before hooking up to your home main electric panel. If not disconnected, power can flow from your generator into the outside utility lines and injure unsuspecting crews working to restore service. It might even injure a neighbor if power from your generator flows along common lines to another house.
Do not run a generator in a confined space.
Only licensed electricians should attempt to repair your home or business electrical system.
Storm-preparedness tips and online services are available through the "Entergy Storm Center," "myAccount" and "View Outages."
Additionally, Entergy has prepared a severe weather guide: Storm Ready, which can be accessed through the "Entergy Storm Center."

oh yes! nothing beats Mexican Hot chocolate (except when its layered with cajeta)! try "Cacao" deli in Eagle rock.
Thanks to my Mexican grandparents, I've enjoyed champurrado for years during the holidays (nothing is more satisfying than a sweet, pineapple and raisin tamale and a warm mug of champurrado). FYI -- it's also known as atole when it's not flavored with chocolate.
Thanks for the ideas....although, Diwali is not the Hindu New Year. Please correct accordingly. Diwali is actually a part of a 5 day festival celebration. Today marks day 1 of the festival. Day 3 that happens to fall on Oct 17 of this year is the actual day of the festival. Day 3 is when the real deal happens. And during the Hindu Festivals(except for Dassera) no household prepares any meat or nonveg dishes. Diwali essentially calls for preparation of all types of sweets the traditional among them being Shrikhand, Malpua, Laddoo, Jalebi, Barfi, Ras Malai and Gulab Jamun. It is a significant festival not only among the Hindus but also Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. Every religion has their own reason though, since these religions evolved from Hinduism, we share the common day.
The actual way of wishing is "Happy Deepavali". In Sanskrit , Deepa means light and Avali means row....So Deepavali means row of lights and yes thats what is done in India, We decorate our homes with rows and rows of little diyas(clay holders with a cotton wick) and light them up all night. We burn fire crackers, eat sweets and celebrate. It is a big festival and celebrated with much enthusiasm. Homes are cleaned thoroughly, sweets are prepared elaborately, businesses open a new financial year and today (i.e. day 1, it is customary to purchase gold).
Please correct accordingly. and Happy Deepavali to all
Huh. Anybody else find it interesting that Mexican hot chocolate is champurrado, while a sort of chocolate rice pudding is known as champorado in the Philippines?
kakugori - theyre related via spain. Champurado came from mexico to the phillipines via the spanish. I believe there are lots of crossovers like that between the cultures.
Being Filipino when I hear champorado I think of chocolate rice pudding. Oh one of life's perfect breakfasts!
I remember when I was visiting the Philippines they made us hot chocolate for breakfast.
