Creamy Garbanzo-ball and Wild Rice Soup
23 comments:
Oh that looks good, Sarah! Everybody seems to be posting about soup lately! I think I will too! That will have to come later today. But I've got something I can put up... But wait... This comment isn't supposed to be about me! Back to you-- :) Chickpeas are great, aren't they! You always seem to have great ideas in the kitchen department. You inspire me! I hope to try your recipe!
Oh and thanks again for visiting my blog and leaving me kind comments, Sarah! Talk to you soon!This thing just _screams_ comfort food. It also reminds me of a Finnish dish called "summer soup" - which doesn't have any kind of balls (heh), but it's a milk-based soup which features peas, carrots and other veggies. And of course kids hate it, because it's usually way too bland. I'm sure this one isn't!
ReplyDeleteblessedmama - thanks for your comment :) I had actually wondered if they would hold up after soaking in the broth, and it turned out to not be a problem at all. The beanballs are dense since they consist almost entirely of beans, they didn't crumble at all (not even in the leftovers I had the next day). It is a fun complicated soup, but if you have some rice at the ready it actually comes together quickly.
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds delicious!!!! I was just thinking earlier that I wanted to try and make Italian Wedding Soup for my blog, I like the idea of garbanzo bean balls!!! I think they would be timid enough for a light broth!!!
Thanks for the idea!!!!! Love your btw, I looked through it and it is wonderful!!!!
I can't wait to try the bean balls!!!!!Hello,

Whether you have a small or large podcast, you can make money from it. While this is not an exhaustive list, Daniel J. Lewis shares his top five ways to monetize the content you're posting on the Internet in your podcast or blog.
1. Premium stuff
Charging a price for something that isn't available for free.
- Full access for members and limited access to nonmembers
- Bonus features or content
- No ads
2. Donations
When you ask people to give money or buy something for you.
- PayPal donate button and subscriptions

3. Ads and affiliates
Typically products or services you advertise but have no relationship or long-term agreement with the company. These can be text or banners on your site or spoken in your podcast.
- Sales are when someone buys something.
- Leads are when someone visits or joins without parting with money.
Popular places for affiliate links
Use Pretty Link to "mask" your affiliate links to prevent their being blocked by ad-blockers. Pretty Link can also tell you how many people click through that link.
4. Sponsorships

The Xbox 360 uses a DVD drive to play game discs. A defective DVD drive renders the game console unusable and must be replaced if you are to continue playing games. Replacing the DVD drive requires opening up the Xbox which can be done at home with only a few tools, although you will have to get a replacement DVD drive from an Xbox 360 parts supply store. Replacing a DVD drive on a Xbox 360 does not requires any electronic skill but it is not a casual repair.

Put the newspaper down on a table. Remove all cords from the Xbox 360 and set it face up on the newspaper. Squeeze both sides of the front of the faceplate with the left hand. Insert two fingers of the right hand into the door at the bottom of the faceplate and pull up to remove the faceplate.
- 2
Push the top of the right side panel inward. Insert the long thin stick between the panel and into the casing. Use the stick to release the four tabs holding the grey piece of plastic inside to the case. Press the power button on the front of the Xbox 360. Repeat the process to release the tabs from the grey piece of plastic inside the case on the left side of the console.
- 3
Put the Xbox 360 face down on the newspaper. Lift up the bottom shelf and use the star screwdriver to remove all of the screws that are now exposed. Put the Xbox 360 back face up on the newspaper. Pull off the top casing. Remove the side panels and the back panel from the bottom of the Xbox 360's case.
- 4
Locate the DVD drive that is near the centre of the circuit board and is the only big metal box inside of the bottom case. Remove the screws holding it to the bottom casing using the Phillips screwdriver. Remove the screws on the side of the DVD drive with the star screwdriver. Pull out the DVD disc tray from the DVD drive. Pick up the DVD drive and hold it above the circuit board.
- 5
Squeeze the sides of the power plug attached to the DVD drive. Remove the power plug. Squeeze the sides of each of the two ribbon cables attached to the circuit board in order to free them from the connector. Pull out each of the ribbon cables from the connector. Discard the DVD drive.
- 6
Hold the replacement DVD drive over the circuit board. Insert the power plug into the power connector on the replacement DVD drive. Insert each of the two ribbon cables from the replacement DVD drive into their connectors on the circuit board. Place the replacement DVD drive down on the bottom casing and put the screws into it using the Phillips screwdriver.
- 7
Reassemble the Xbox 360. Reattach the cords and turn it on. Insert a game disc and test the replacement DVD drive.
Tips and warnings
- Wear an anti-static strap to dissipate static electricity that could cause damage to the Xbox 360's internal components.
- Opening up an Xbox 360 yourself voids the warranty.

How To Get Rid Of a Phobia
Is there a thing or a situation that sends shivers down your spine whenever you encounter it? If you repeatedly get frightened about a certain thing, then you have most likely developed a phobia. A phobia is characterized by the feeling of fear and anxiety. Science has listed thousands of types of phobia and almost everyone has something that they are afraid of. Some of the most common types of phobia are fears of height, public speaking, certain places, animals and others. While phobia is a part of human nature, it is very unhealthy. Whenever your fear kicks in, your well-being might be greatly affected. So if you can, it is best to get rid of phobia.
While it is easy to be said, getting rid of phobia is actually a challenging task. Imagine climbing hundreds of feet and doing a bungee jump when you have fear of heights, sounds really scary right? Nevertheless, it will make you feel better once you have countered this fear of yours. So if you have a certain phobia that you want to get rid of, here are some tips that can help you face your fears.
Identify where the fear is coming from
Before you can forget about your fear, you must first identify where the fear is coming from. You have to know what causes you to cringe whenever you or encounter what you fear. Is it because of trauma or you really just grown up being afraid of it? Ask yourself first, where does this feeling of fear originate, and from there, you will be able to identify why you get scared about it.
Talk to yourself
While it may seem silly, and other people may suspect you of being out of your mind, it is necessary that you talk to yourself in order for you to face your fears. Sit down and think about your phobia. Ask yourself, why you have this phobia in the first place. Then try to think, are you going to die because of it? For example, if you are afraid of being in closed areas, ask yourself, "Will the walls close upon me and squeeze me to death?" Of course, the answer is no. The thing that you are afraid of cannot really harm you per se, but, the feeling of fear itself is the one that may damage your personality. So talk to yourself and convince that the thing you are afraid of cannot really harm or endanger you, so why be afraid of it?
Play brave
If you are afraid of a certain thing, you can just try to play brave and convince yourself that you are not afraid of it. For example, you can go to a building's roof deck and look down below. Originally, this might make you crawl back down. But instead of letting your fear pour upon you, stand straight, spread your arms and breathe. Relax and try to enjoy the moment. If you are afraid of climbing on the top of a building, then the roof deck or rooftop in your home is a good place to start with.
Go to a professional
While you can counter phobia by yourself, there are fears that are too grave that you might need to go to a professional. So if you need support, consulting with an expert may help you quicken your battle with your phobia.

A focused, practical guide, covering both architecting and implementing effective solutions using the .NET Compact Framework
° The .NET Compact Framework (CF) brings the power of .NET to mobile devices, yet there is very little information on how to use it effectivley
° The number of developers using the .NET CF over the next few years is anticipated to increase greatly
° Covers related important topics such as SQL Server 2000 Windows CE edition
"If you've been looking for one book on the .NET Compact Framework that will teach you everything you need to know, look no further—this is it! Jon and Dan do a wonderful job of covering this content, so that readers are sure to find much enlightenment within these pages."
—Derek Ferguson, Chief Technology Evangelist, Expand Beyond Corporation"While many technical books focus on API details, this book covers architectures and best practices. It highlights the special concerns for .NET mobile development. It is an excellent book for experienced .NET developers who want to transfer their skills to the red-hot mobility arena."
—Michael Yuan, University of Texas at Austin"Moving to the .NET Compact Framework is about to become much easier with the aid of this book. The samples and supplied utility code will help you get a running start on your own mobile development projects."
—Kent Sharkey, Program Manager, MSDN"This book is the starting place for development on devices using the Microsoft Compact Framework. Whether you are doing business or commercial applications, this book is the resource to kick-start your journey into mobile development."
—Stephen Forte, CTO, Corzen, Inc."The .NET Compact Framework brings the power of .NET programming to mobile devices. Dan and Jon's book is an excellent resource to help build your programming skills in the mobility area."
—Kevin Lisota, Product Manager, Mobile Devices Division, Microsoft Corporation"Mobile applications are truly a new class of applications and having feature-rich development tools and infrastructures like VS .NET and the .NET Compact Framework is only half the battle of learning to build them. It's great to see Dan and Jon apply their in-depth knowledge of the .NET Compact Framework to cover the important topics that everybody learning to build mobile applications should understand."
—Craig Neable, .NET Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation"Mobile solutions and their development present new challenges for enterprises, especially with disconnected/synchronization scenarios. Leveraging best practices and planning mobile development properly are essential to the successful implementation. Building Solutions with the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework provides a solid introduction to mobile development and best practices. It is a great resource for experienced architects and developers who are new to mobile solution development."
—Steve Milroy, Solutions Director, Mobility and Emerging Technologies, Immedient CorporationWhether you are an architect, developer, or manager, Building Solutions with the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework is your guide to creating effective solutions for mobile devices with .NET. Authors Dan Fox and Jon Box walk you through four essential architectural concepts and programming techniques, using extensive examples and code listings to show you how to develop more robust mobile development projects.
The book briefly describes the context, architecture, and features of both the Framework and Smart Device Programmability (SDP). The heart of the book is its in-depth coverage of key architectural concepts, including local data handling, remote data access (RDA) architectures, robust data caching with SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition 2.0 (SQL CE 2.0), and synchronization options. The focus then shifts to localization, security, and deployment, and the final chapter steers you away from potential pitfalls.
You will find helpful pointers to further resources throughout, and a companion Web site includes the source code and links to more information.
This book can be read cover to cover or the focus can be narrowed to key points of interest. It can also be used as a reference, with answers to questions such as:
Both comprehensive and concise, Building Solutions with the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework shows you how to bring the power of .NET to your mobile applications.

Tailor Group
Are you someone who lives and breathes digital? Are you a total go-getter who is looking to not only build an awesome career, but an extraordinary lifestyle? Are you wondering if this sounds like total bullsh*t?
Fear not, my friend. It looks like a career in Inbound Marketing might be right for you.
Reporting directly to and working closely alongside our Founder & Director John (hey... that's me!), you'll become the latest member of our small (but fast-growing!) Inbound Marketing Agency located close to the heart of Sydney.
As our first official 'Account Manager' (we'll come up with a better name for you...), you'll be responsible for delivering all our agency work to our clients and managing all the campaigns we run for our clients. That includes organising client approval of marketing materials, managing any requested adjustments by the client directly with members of our team, launching all campaigns across various social media platforms & paid advertising channels, and collating data for us to use in our reports to generally make better marketing decisions for our clients! Sometimes, you might even get your hands dirty on a landing page or content piece or two.
As you get more familiar with our clients and how Inbound Marketing works, we'll start to get you involved in the decision-making process (eg: strategy work) down the track until we give you (almost!) complete control to work on our client accounts from start to finish.
In addition and to make life easy, we do all of this using a platform called HubSpot (http://hubspot.com). If you haven't used it before, don't fret - it's easy to use and I'll train you.
So who are we looking for?
This opening isn't for everyone. If you're looking to settle into a strict role and work your regular 9 to 5, look away. If you're looking to follow rigid structures and strict protocol, find something else. However - if you're looking to enter our topsy-turvy loopy-doopy industry with the heart and drive to kick total ass for our clients (and get rewarded along the way!), you're in the right place. Sometimes, you'll have to work super super hard to get the outcome we require. Other times, you'll get to chill out while your automated campaigns just work their magic. This is not for the faint of heart.
Here's what we're looking for in a person:
While I'm not looking for someone who has ridiculous technical skills, if you're familiar any of the below it'll certaintly be a bonus:
To apply, please don't send me a resume (yet!). Just drop me an email on firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know you'd like to apply for this role. We'll then arrange a brief phone call to organise a coffee meeting, and we'll take it from there.
And for those thinking TL;DR - I'm just looking for someone with a kick-ass attitude and strong goals to become the glue between various members of our team doing stuff, and our clients approving the stuff!

Sorry to hear. I know how it feels, my grandpa and uncle had cancer. Hang in there, spend as much time as you can with your granny and the rest of your family, it'll make things easier.
I'm sorry to hear. Cancer has taken a lot from my wife's family. #cancersucks Sent from the best 3G phone on Verizon.
My family and close friends have been touched by cancer. I've learned that you need to be realistic but also try to treat her as you would before she received the diagnosis, it goes along way to boosting her morale. Just remember she is still your granny, not a cancer patient. Sent from my Ice Creamed Supersonic Bionic by Droid Forums

2746For we are old, and on our quick'st decrees
2748Steales, ere we can effect them. You remember
2749The daughter of this Lord?
2751I stucke my choice vpon her, ere my heart
2752Durst make too bold a herauld of my tongue:
2755Which warpt the line, of euerie other fauour,
2757Extended or contracted all proportions
2758To a most hideous obiect. Thence it came,

2792I bad her if her fortunes euer stoode

Congratulations to Iceland.
Fitch has upgraded the country to investment grade BBB with stable outlook, expecting government debt to peak at 100pc of GDP.
The OECD's latest forecast said growth will be 2.4pc this year, after 2.9pc in 2011.
Unemployment will fall from 7pc last year to 6.1pc this year and then 5.3pc in 2013.
The current account deficit was 11.2pc in 2010. It will shrink to 3.4pc this year, and will be almost disappear next year.
The strategy of devaluation behind capital controls has rescued the economy. (Yes, I know there is a dispute about exchange controls, but that is a detail.) The country has held its Nordic welfare together and preserved social cohesion. It is slowly prospering again, though private debt weighs heavy.
Nobody is forcing the elected government out of office or appointing technocrats as prime minister. The Althingi sits untrammeled in its island glory, the oldest parliament in the world (930 AD).
The outcome is a vindication of sovereign currencies and national central banks able to respond to shocks.
The contrast with unemployment catastrophe and debt-deflation spirals across Europe's arc of depression is by now crystal clear. Those EMU shroud-wavers who persist in arguing that exit from the Europe would be suicidal will have to start coming up with a better argument.
Is it now so clear the Iceland will join the EU and the euro? Don't bet on it.
Here is the Fitch text:
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Iceland's Long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BBB-' from 'BB+' and affirmed its Long-term local currency IDR at 'BBB+'. Its Short-term foreign currency IDR has also been upgraded to 'F3' from 'B' and its Country Ceiling to 'BBB-' from 'BB+'. The Outlooks on Long-term ratings are Stable.
"The restoration of Iceland's
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.telegraph.co.uk ...
One thing going for them is they are not members of the EU
Iceland may want to say "No Thanks" to that application to the EU if they want to continue on their present course.
Did I hear someone say "Viking victory?"
I can't remember the last time I heard that phrase.
Hope it was over the Packers.
I go to Iceland quite often. There is a segment of the population that think belonging to the EU would be a good thing in that they think the costs of goods and services coming from Europe would be cheaper. Those with more insight realize that in spite of the fact that Iceland does not have her own military they would none the less have to contribute to Nato as well as face the risk of helping bail out the Greeses of Europe..I hope the wiser minds prevail.
The different thing they did was not bailing out banks.
I see his smirk turning into a slight smile on this one. He does seem to think that Iceland has pulled something off.
what's going for them is that they are not members of the Eurozone. the Eurozone is not synonymous with the EU. Being part of the EU has benefits (and disadvantages for Iceland). Being part of the Eurozone has much more disadvantages for a peripheral state like Iceland
I mentioned that in a very early post.
I mentioned that in very early post. Thanks for mentioning it again.
yes and your statement was wrong — joining the EU has advantages for Iceland that outweigh the disadvantages. Joining the Eurozone, on the other hand has more disadvantages
Thank you for the correction.

One of the homemade presents that the girls made for Christmas were these colorful pieces of plantable paper (also known as "seed bombs"). They make a cute holiday gift and make planting flowers really easy (just put them on the ground, sprinkle with soil, make sure they get enough water and soon flowers will appear). This was a great way to incorporate two of the topics we've been learning about in Homeschool Kindergarten - seeds and recycling. Here's what we did..
To make our seed paper colorful, we recycled construction paper. The girls tore up red and green paper into small pieces.
We soaked them briefly in water (maybe soaking overnight would have been better but the kids were impatient and they were going into the food processor anyway).
I had to add a bit more water to get the paper to turn into a pulp in the food processor.
The girls helped me use a paper towel to remove the excess moisture from the pulp. Then we put in some poppy seeds (which were the only flower seeds we had on hand), and a bit of white glue (Elmer's) and the twins mixed it up.
The original plan was to use silicone molds to make the seed bombs into fun shapes but that just didn't work out. Instead the girls rolled balls out of the paper pulp / seed mixture (it was surprisingly like playdoh), and then flattened them out so they would dry faster. We blotted out still more moisture using paper towels and then put them on an over rack to dry (which only took a couple hours).
After our plantable paper had dried, we put it into a Christmas tin along with the flower seed label/instructions and it made a cute present for a grandma who loves to garden. What a fun homemade gift this was to make!

How to Make Your Own Will
Heirs, usually consisting of family members and close friends, will divide up the assets of someone after death. Failure to complete your will before death could result in your possessions going to the government, so it's important to make a will, even if you expect to be living for a long time. It's never too early to be prepared for the future. If you want the protection a will provides, but don't want to pay to have an attorney write it, you can learn to do it yourself. These are the steps to follow when creating a will:
1) You start by putting the date and your whole name and mailing address on the top of the page. Writing in blue pen is helpful because then the original and photocopies will not be confused.
2) Then, write that you are of sound mental health and contractual capacity.
3) Your civil information should be included - whether you have a significant other, live alone, divorced, or not living with your spouse. After selecting your marital status, please elaborate by stating how long you've been married or divorced.
4) Have you revoked any other wills you may have made before this one? You need them to fulfill this will's request, and disregard the former will from the last 20 years.
5) An executor should be appointed as a next step. The executor is in charge of carrying out the wishes expressed in your will. Should your executor predecease you, you want to have a back up appointed. In case you intend to reward the executor, here is where to include it. Name your executor as the one who is to arrange your funeral and pay any outstanding expenses such as debts or taxes. Dividing up your assets now can avoid the hassle of it later.
6) Here you get to have loads of fun, figuring out the division of assets. You can either divide your total assets into percentages to assign to certain individuals, or you can specify which assets you would like to leave for certain individuals. An example would be, "85% of my possessions goes to my mate, Bernese Johnson," or "The house I own belongs to my mate, Bernese Johnson." My son, George Johnson, I leave to you my savings fund. When your time comes, you can also leave your assets to your children. They should receive it only upon turning 18 or 21. Be careful to include all your assets on your list, including any company shares, savings accounts, stocks, cash, bonds, real estate, businesses, etc.
7) Please check that you initial every paper and sign on the bottom line of the last paper, close to the date. A witness is needed to sign plus make a note of the date.

ARLINGTON, VA.—The search for new opportunities has led a prominent affordable housing developer back to familiar ground. AHC, Inc., recently replaced one of its old projects with a 94-unit affordable housing development that provides more than four times the number of apartments that used to be on the site.
Even in today's depressed economy, finding and competing for properties remains one of the biggest challenges for affordable housing developers.
Adding more units to properties it already owns is one strategy that the nonprofit has deployed in the battle to increase the supply of affordable housing in Arlington, a community that has lost more than 10,000 affordable rental units in the last seven years, AHC officials say.
The Shelton is the second property the group has redeveloped with more housing. Completed earlier this year, the project replaces the aging Fairview Manor, a 22-unit building built around 1965 and acquired by the group in 1982.
Meeting community needs
The changes go deeper than the number of units. Responding to community need, AHC designed The Shelton to have a mix of apartments, including 47 two-bedroom and 15 three-bedroom apartments to accommodate families. The project serves residents earning no more than 40 percent, 50 percent, and 60 percent of the area median income.
Condo conversions and gentrification have taken a big bite out of the area's affordable housing supply during the last several years, says John Welsh, director of the multifamily division.
The Shelton, which includes a small retail space and a parking garage, was built with efficiency in mind, including the use of Energy Star products. AHC also installed a hot water system on each of the four floors rather than putting a hot water heater in every apartment.
Many of these features emerged through extensive community outreach and collaboration with the Nauck Revitalization Organization and the Nauck Civic Association.
The $30.6 million project is notable because it is in an area targeted for redevelopment. "Our development has jumpstarted the revitalization of the neighborhood," says Joe Weatherly, senior project manager.
Being one of the first projects carried a heavy load. AHC had to place the aerial utilities underground and build the underground infrastructure for the neighborhood, adding about $2 million to the project costs.
The project was financed with lowincome housing tax credits (LIHTCs) allocated by the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA). RBC Capital Markets Tax Credit Equity Group syndicated the credits, raising about $13.7 million in equity. VHDA also provided $3.5 million in below-market debt and $5.5 million through its conventional debt program, achieving a blended rate of about 6 percent.
"We were pleased to see this development because affordable housing is difficult to produce in the Beltway," says Jim Chandler, director of the LIHTC program at VHDA.
Arlington County invested more than $5.3 million through its Affordable Housing Investment Fund. This includes $4.3 million in new money and about $1 million in outstanding funds from Fairview Manor that Arlington County rolled into The Shelton deal, explains Welsh. Suntrust Bank provided a construction loan, and grant money from NeighborWorks America also assisted the project.

What should I speak about the film. Fabulous story, exceptional music by illayaraja and most of all kamal hasan acting made this film deserve the top position. Love the combo of kamal sir and mani ratnam
Nayagan is the only film, that gives the clear information about rowdism and its impacts
V 8 CommentsFabilous.. Excellent... Superb... Unforgettable... Valuable... Extreme effort..
V 1 CommentVow such a nice story&especially arvindsamy actins is fabulous
V 1 CommentAs much as I like Nayagan, this simply has to be the best. Never seen a more beautiful Indian film.
V 3 CommentsThe best love story of mani ratnam. Not rated highly because it was made in telugu. Hats off to guts shown by nagarjuna who is also the producer of this movie. No hero wanted to do it as it had no heroism elements.

Binding posts from ebay?
I'm in need for two pairs of new binding posts for my dMar-Kel70T build.
I found some Jantzen AudioTerminal 1 in Sweden for 138SEK/pair but that's quite expensive. But I found these on ebay that are cheaper and just as good looking, but are they as good quality as the Jantzen ones? 2-pair,SPEAKER/AMPS TERMINAL BINDING POSTS POST,SRBL | eBay 2x CMC Speaker Binding Post Female Gold 858-LU-R Hi-End | eBay

Mundorf terminals are still very expensive. I do actually have a set of them here at home but they're meant for another build.
I guess I'll go with the Jantzen from Sweden then if nobody else can tell if the ones from Ebay are good or not. But 320SEK ($48) for a set of binding posts is still quite expensive.

I need speaker binding posts, not amplifier binding posts. I'm using 18mm thick panels.
I want something that has that clear plastic stuff, I think it looks cool.

Cut a big hole in the panel, maybe 100mm by 60mm
Glue and screw a thinner plate over the hole on the inside of the speaker. Mount your terminals on that thinner plate. The recess seen on the outside looks nice (in my view) and helps protect the terminals from knocks etc.

Montreal is pretty far away though, like on the other side of the planet. Remember that I live in Sweden, not in America.
Zman: Yes they're cheap and easy, but I want something that looks good too. That's why I want that clear plastic and either copper or silver (gold feels too mainstream).

Changing Places
Table of content The problem The solution The Changing Places campaign How you can assist
How many people are affected In 2009, around 195,800 people with a disability used continence aids with a large number of these requiring complete assistance to use the toilet (Incontinence in Australia, AIHW) – this is significantly more than the population of DarwinIncontinence in Australia, AIHW A large number of these are unable to use regular accessible public toilets and require specialist equipment, such as a hoist and adult sized change table This may include people with an ABI, cerebral palsy, MS, spina bifida, motor neurone disease etc. There are less than 30 public toilets with these facilities throughout Australia Australia's ageing population means the problem will only get worse…
Impacts on PWDs Major barrier to social inclusion Limitations on where one can go and how long one can go for Change facilities can influence travel and leisure options as well as providing barriers to professional life "Employment opportunities are almost non- existent without toilets to meet my needs – there is a no lifting policy for support staff so I've had to leave meetings halfway through to avoid sitting in soiled pads" – Liz Ellis, 29 years old, BA Social Work
Impacts on carers Carers faced with choice to put their family members/clients in undignified situations or not venture far from home Risk of injury from lifting Professional carers unable to take their clients out due to no lifting policy Planning day around toilets – affects the whole family People in regional areas more affected "Most people have seen the stories of how many germs a handbag can carry from being put on the floor of a toilet, so can you then imagine lying on the floor of a public toilet yourself? Michael is exposed to this whenever he needs to be changed and we are out for the day." - Debby Conlon, mother of Michael (17 years old)

Quote "I have to lay him down on dirty public toilet floors with his head under the pan where someone else has just peed. I don't like putting my handbag down on some floors; why on earth should I be expected to lie my precious son on them"
Moving into the 21 st Century 1775 - The first patent for the flushing water closet was issued to Alexander Cummings. 1852 first public toilet (flushing). Since then technology and human rights has enormous advances In the meantime in 2013 we have people with a disability and their families still waiting for their first toilet in their local community Changing Places for a moment, imagine a community for you without toilets

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.81 / 5.00 7,848 ViewsOne day an curious scientists found an interesting animal he had never seen before, and thought he would do some test on this animal to find out what its story was. Will he live to tell the tale?
I like the concept and the art was good. My only issue is, I agree with a lot of others who've written reviews, the story is a little confusing. You begin by controlling the monsters/bad guys and end up controlling the humans/good guys. The other confusing thing, was in the second level (scenario, whatever) if you do the wrong thing and die, you fail, but in the other levels, the successful outcome is dying. I'd prefer more consistency, nevertheless, it was a fun game and I look forward to more like it.
Just finished it.
* It was fun finding out where to click to proceed, quite eye-catchy too.
* Good graphics.
* Nice plot, you get to play on both sides.
* Overall, good game to keep you occupied!
Story line was very confusing, how can you be both on the zombie side and the human side at the same time?
It still looked nice though.

Carrots, Carrots, easy tutorial
Easter is just around the corner!!
These are so cute and easy to make.............
A few years ago my grandaughter and I made these cute carrots over Spring break.
So lets get started
Supplies you will need:
fabric, I used drop cloth
orange craft paint
green craft paint
poly stuffing
Cut 20" x 8.5 "
fold triangle in half and sew the long edge.
making sure the tip is closed.... This makes the carrot shape.
turn carrot right side out
stuff with poly stuffing leaving a 4" top.
Now fasten off with thread or raffia.
Cut slits around 1" at top
This will become the greens.
Now it's time to paint..
orange on the carrot
then green on the slits.
also paint some green on the orange....
Now hang them out to dry.
You can make different sizes by cutting out smaller or larger
just make sure that you have a triangle.

Tabitha's Trinkets and Darlene's Mystery Quilt
My second quilt was an easy choice, "Tabitha's Trinkets".
I was very fortunate to win some mini-charm packs from Kathy Schmitz from her beautiful new line just coming out called "Round Robin". Love these colours and I thought they would be the perfect choice for "Tabitha's Trinkets".
I found a few fabrics in my stash for the 3 B's...borders, backing, and binding. Once the top was made, I settled into my quilting chair...
When I was finished, I attached my little tag...
and a sleeve...
and took lots of pics!
The quilt is about 18" x 21", the perfect size for a doll quilt...
or a table topper...
or to hang on the wall. One small quilt with so many options!
I've also been working on Part 3 of Darlene's Mystery Quilt, the third border that was to include 4 star blocks and an appliqued feather border. I decided this would be the perfect place to incorporate a border I had seen in one of Kim Diehl's books, "Simple Charm". I made a few adjustments, sewed together a few more star blocks, and managed to attach 2 borders in time for today's post. The rosebuds will be further embellished down the road with little yo-yos at the tips of the rose. But for now, this is what the quilt looks like...
What else am I working on? My Country Charmer blocks, of course. The Flickr page is amazing with tons of inspiration HERE. Come back on April 1 to see my progress on the Country Charmer quilt and to link up with quilt designer Lynn of Sew"n Wild Oaks and the quilters from around the globe who are participating in this "work at your own speed" Country Charmer QAL. I'll have the link ready on April 1 and will leave it up for a week because I know a lot of you will be busy in the coming days with Easter celebrations and family visits.
Enjoy your Easter weekend!
It's a great day for quilting!

Love your new little quilt - wonderful choice of fabrics and the handquilting is a perfect fit with this. I wimped on Darlene's next borders - went with a plain to be quilted with a basket weave pattern I think. I just thought the the applique was a little too heavy and I wanted to open up the quilt. Your lighter applique is a great look.
ReplyDeleteLeslie, I'm so behind in blog reading! I love Tabitha's Treasures! The fabrics are perfect for spring, and I can't believe how it's a perfect match if you want to display it with your bowl! I like the border you have used for the mystery quilt... after much consideration, I decided to omit the applique border on my mystery quilt... I may regret it! I will have lots of calculating to do with step 4, and future steps, but I welcome the challenge to make it my own!
Happy Sewing!
Thank you so much for visiting me. I enjoy writing about my quilting projects and am so glad that you enjoy reading about them. I will certainly reply if you leave a comment. Thanks again!
