Review Summary
- Sales Rank – 43.25
- Refund Rate – 50
- Link authority – 1
Final Word
Review too long to read Well just read this summary where I give Final Firesale EXTRA PLR Package B an overall score. My goal has been to use stats to develop a totally impartial review that can help to provide a clear idea of whether or not you should purchase this product. I looked at the sales figures, the refund rate and the authority of the product's website to establish an overall idea of trustworthiness. It's a computer algorithm, yes, but it should be a fantastic help nonetheless. So, the final score is 49.86/100 – pretty good!.
It is time for yet another fine thetrinitycodes.com review. On this website I care about my audience and assisting you to make the right buying decision. I manage this, principally, by looking at sales figures but I also ensure that every item on this website has a 60 day money-back guarantee. OK dear readers, let's commence! If you've already purchased and are asking yourself how to lay claim to your bonus, please click here. You have to know that this site does use affiliate links. So how do I stay unbiased? Well, you can read all about it here: How This blog is Financed. Now that you have finished doing that, we can start.
Does it sell much?
First, an admission. I am inclined to be impacted by the status of products. If I see everyone is buying something I have a tendency to come along for the ride. My reasoning? Well, if everybody wants it, it has to be fantastic, right? Obviously, that is not always true but product sales could be a good proof of quality. Luckily for you, I actually have some sales information for Final Firesale EXTRA PLR Package B. First, I've got something called Gravity which comes directly from the payment processor. It gives us a rough proof of sales volume. Final Firesale EXTRA PLR Package B has a gravity of 0.04, which makes me think this might be one to avoid – maybe better to look at alternatives. Now, this gravity figure might not mean much to you. Hence, dear readers, I've compared the gravities of every product on this web site and created a sales rank! A rank of 100 means it's the best selling product here … and all the way down to 1 with the worst seller. So what about Final Firesale EXTRA PLR Package B? Basically, it receives a sales rank of 43.25, which means it is certainly below average – I would advise you see if any alternatives fare better.
Are there lots of refunds?
Of course, I opt to give my readers more than just sales stats. You want to know about a product's quality. Unfortunately, my time restrictions (and bank balance!) don't make it possible for me to try every product personally. So I use another stat – the refund rate.This stat comes directly from the payment processor, when it was available for a short time. Final Firesale EXTRA PLR Package B scores 3 /5 which is the average score and usually means we either don't have any refund data or the refund amount is at a suitable level – should be OK to proceed here.
Where is the sales page?
So, what else can I say to you? Well, why don't we have a look at the domain that this product is sold from (offers.highqualityplrstore.com)? There are a few stats available that will provide us witha better idea about how reliable the product is. Firstly, we know the site has 2 pages – the theory is that the more pages it has, the older and more reliable it is. So, in this instance, 2 is not really that plenty and could signify that this website is new. But, of course, you can't just judge a site by the number of pages it has. They could all be useless! Instead, let's take a leaf out of Google's book and have a look at the amount of other websites that are backlinking in to this one. Lots of links from quality sites indicates that this one is bound to be quality too. So offers.highqualityplrstore.com has 0 backlinks with an authority score of 1/100, which means it hasn't gained much approval from other sites yet (and therefore not from me either).
Other products – does this vendor have anything else on sale?
We're nearing the conclusion of this review now, but I still believe there's a few more data to be found. I've hunted high and low and made a list of all the other products this vendor is selling, and also any specials they have on at this time. Let's have a look… So, it seems Final Firesale EXTRA PLR Package B has 8 special product(s) on sale.
Epic Firesale Source Code Upgrade – $97
Traffic Firesale Reseller Upgrade Package – $97
Traffic Firesale Regular Upgrade Package – $32.13

Well, this past weekend was wonderful. I attended the Kon-O-Kwee Quilter's Retreat for the first time. Fabulous. It started Friday morning and ran till Sunday afternoon. Here is a photo of the lodge as we drove up.
It was breathtaking to see. We had a room downstairs where we worked and the dining room was upstairs. Here are some photos of those places.
The large open room had this great fireplace in it. Saturday night there was a fire going in it and did it warm up the space.
I will share more about the weekend tomorrow but now it is time for me to get back to some not so fun work. I am going to work on my tax information today. It is a cold rainy windy nassty day outside so this will keep me out of that.
Have a great day, do something kind for someone else today and be grateful for a nice warm space to hunker down in on such a day as this.

Right. So here goes nothing.
Step onto a plane in PDX International. Pocket-size pillows. Rolling luggage. Streamlined cutlery. Step off in Frankfurt. Go down a long tunnel in the terminal following a funny little German man in an oversize pinstripe suit, loudly leading a clutch of elderly Germans. Rolling walkways. Illegible signs. Brushed steel everything.
Step onto a train in Berlin. You can still see the sixty-year old bulletholes and half-ruined cathedrals. The River Spree weaves through boathouses and the remains of the Berlin Wall. The sky as clear as a glass of water. Beware of neo-nazis in dark boots with white laces.
Customs officers pad by on the train. Curious blend of anachronistic mechanical visa-stamps and infra-red passport verification devices. Sip strong German beer while watching Eastern Europe wheel by out the window. Kick off boots for the first time in almost twenty-four hours. Feel eyes watching you everywhere, the other-ness of a stranger in a strange place. Remember what color your skin is. Sip more beer.
Arrive in Szamocin, wrinkled and road-giddy. Stars are brighter, clearer. Roads weaving in the wilderness, crosses at every crossroads. Unwrap the sleeping bags from the stilts. Start to question why you packed what you've packed, and why you didn't pack what you didn't pack.
The floorboards are worn smooth and dark, like polished mahogany. Even the nail studs are rounded from one hundred years of footfalls. Strange eastern European toilets that whisper all night.
Days tumble by rapidly. Long hours of sweat and language difficulties. Feast on kielbasa and potato salad, latkes and strong vodka. Swap some American songs for a few Polish and Ukrainian ones. Fall head over heels for the sunlight and the singing. Build some torches and flaming walls. Carefully husband your stock of wicking, because you've got a lot to build. In Poland, beer is cheap and women are deadly. Begin to hunger for newspapers. Watch the grit get into your fingerprints, no matter how often you wash your hands. Remember to send some damn letters one of these days. Get lost in the dark forest, singing loudly and drinking strong Polish beer. Learn that six shots of vodka really isn't a good idea.
Do some breathtaking theatre in a converted train station. Listen to the long speeches Polish directors love to make. Play with fire and bears and taciturn Polish audience types. Miss home. Wonder how you'll ever eat anything that isn't Polish. Struggle with more language problems. Reinvent self-conceptualizations based on a fluid paradigm of identity. Run out of Stumptown coffee the first week.
Look for more mass posts when I arrive in Gdansk. Peace and Health to you all, know that you're much missed, and watch your mailboxes.
keep on rocking in the free world,

After a short break, we are firing up the Sociable Organisation blog with updates about new ways of thinking and exploring more sociable ways of working.
We start with a post by Matt Lund, who works in the council's consultation and engagement team.
Ever been accused of sitting in an ivory tower?
Well it happens if you have a corporate policy role in a Civic or Town Hall. I suppose it's an easy statement to make and a perception for folk like me, who have such roles, to be acutely aware of. However, a new opportunity is giving us a chance to disprove it by working in a different way.
We successfully bid to be part of the Design in the Public Sector (DIPS) regional programme run by the Design Council and supported by Local Government Yorkshire and Humber. It provides training and support to local authorities and their partners who want to explore 'design thinking' as a way to improve local issues.
We asked Voluntary Action Leeds to join us in getting support over a 90-day period starting in early July 2014, alongside six other organisations in our region. In Leeds, our initial DIPS focus is on improving community engagement in the Inner South area of the city but we're really interested to see how design can be used on other issues we face too. People tell us they want to have greater involvement in the decisions that affect them in their areas, so this is a great opportunity for residents to help shape the ways they get involved.
We realised during the first two training days that we have to truly understand the places and communities of Inner South. (It's only the council that calls this diverse area 'Inner South' by the way). Others on our team have the advantage over me, working in the patch, so the other week I spent time working in the area on Dewsbury Road. That's where our project space is so we should be part of it. It's also where we met with the local Community Committee chair, Cllr Gabriel, to talk her through the project and ask for her support in trying to do things differently.
What happened was an afternoon road-trip. Cllr Gabriel drove us around the whole area, going way beyond our expectations. She lives there, knows each community inside out and could point out issue after issue where (without saying it herself) 'service design' would have made a difference. So, when we finished the tour, the discussion about DIPS was natural, positive and we had her support.
We've got a plan of course, and know what steps to take next to involve partners and local people, but that first step of getting the project understood and supported by those with influence seemed critical to me, especially as what we learn from local people may challenge engagement practices, and ultimately, where power lies in the system.
But, one step at a time, and the first one was firmly on the ground!

My favorite foods have few ingredients and they are usually the same ones. I once read that a sign of a good mother/cook is one who is able to use the same ingredients over and over, just disguised in different ways. That's my kind of cooking!
I've created the 5 Ingredients section (I don't count salt because we all have that in the cupboard) where you'll be able to find quick recipes disguised in several tasty ways.
I also keep a stocked pantry. Some may call it a storage. I love to use it in my cooking. That way I'm not running to the store in order to make each meal. I like fresh as much as the next person, but if it's between using dehydrated and going to the store, I'm opening my lazy suzan and throwing in some dehydrated tasty goodness. My meals are simple and filling for a lot of mouths.
I am grateful for all those who have influenced my cooking over the years and taught me all I know from the midwest, south, and western states. I've been blessed with amazing mentors.
Thank you, all!!

Grace and peace to you as we, people of faith, continue this journey in this Easter season
Rejoicing in the resurrection of the gift from God Our Creator, Jesus Christ our risen Savior and Lord.
"Our goal is to create a beloved community,
and this will require a qualitative change in our souls
as well as a
quantitative change in our lives."
Dr. Martin Luther King's words challenge us from across the cosmos
About how important koinonia (COY-NO-KNEE-A), the Greek Word for Community,
is to the fabric of our very being and existence.
What images are called to your thoughts and mind
hearing the word "Community"?
One such example that resides with me include some friends of mine
Larry and Kate, a pastoral couple.
Larry is an Episcopalian priest, deep and scholarly
His wife, Kate could be an evangelist in her own right
Besides her infectious personality
The Holy Spirit exudes within and throughout her
When she speaks, her language is
Grounded in what the Resurrection of Jesus Christ means
And what that holds for the wider, unknown community
beyond the church doors.
They worship at 5pm on Sunday evenings in a shared space,
But they also exist together in a sacred place
Because this community lives together 24/7
Larry writes on his Community's webpage:
"Following the example of Acts and nearly 2000 years of ascetics, monks and nuns, we turn aside from the individualism and self-reliance of the world, resolving to hold real property in common for the purpose of service to Christ in, though, and for the Church and the world… "
It is almost insulting to say that their koinonia (COY-NO-KNEE-A)
is seen as countercultural
Or viewed as nothing more of a hippie commune
Or labeled as abnormal
And unfortunately, the brick and mortar church where they were sharing space
Apparently skipped this Acts text in the lectionary
Because they refused to understand
These teachings gathered from the apostles
"All who believed were together and had all things in common."
As people of faith, because we proclaim Christ crucified;
because the risen Christ stands as the gate between
God's endless, unconditional love, mercy and grace
and what lurks in the complete darkness, encompassing evil,
We as God's children can live life abundantly,
and live it as community.
But if the Holy Spirit is absent from koinonia (COY-NO-KNEE-A),
then why are we surprised
when the collective community
outside our church doors
flees from our presence?
There are vast numbers of the modern Church
Professing to be ingrained in the Scriptures
But missing the teachings that had earlier been laid out by Peter
The core of this ancient community was being immersed in the
Holy Spirit
Earlier in Acts Peter urges these ancient women and men,
Who were new to this spiritual practice called "The Way"
Who sought comfort and commonality
Who wanted to continue to be close to the presence of the risen Christ
"Repent ( change the inner self! To change one's purpose, to be open..)
and be baptized…and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
These ancient followers gave up of themselves
To the power of the Holy Spirit
How delightedly frightening it must have been
To be touched by the Holy Spirit
And through the Holy Spirit,
Who they had been, died
Submerged in water and flame
And so koinonia (COY-NO-KNEE-A) became just as essential as breathing
And so there was this experience of freedom
Because through the Holy Spirit
They had an understanding
Of living life abundantly
And not for themselves
Dr. King lamented this
Stating at one time how the Church changed society
That it reflected their spiritual ancestors
Raising its voice to challenge the status quo
Caring for those who had been discarded by this world
Living their collective lives abundantly
But as King passed by churches along his
Civil Rights journey
He had to ask himself questions
"What kind of people worship there?
Who is their God?"
Dr. King's questions echo in our own time and seem relevant
Or perhaps they can be further fleshed out-
"Does this community foster healing and hope?"
"Does this community make anew a part of the world, so that people are able to rebuild their broken lives by being welcomed at the Table?
"Will this community invite us in to participate
In God's work of transformation?"
We as the First English community can without fail, answer honestly, yes
Even as we, as sisters and brothers in Christ
Continue to grow, learn and struggle together
I can say this because every time I am asked about my internship community
My answer is that the Holy Spirit is HERE
Do you agree, people of God?
If so, say Amen!
The Scriptures are clear about koinonia (COY-NO-KNEE-A)
But what of the deeper challenge that we as people of faith
Must be rooted within who we are?
"They would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all
As any had need."
This ancient body of Christ, these cloud of witnesses
Understood and did not falter from being the village
That not only raised up one another
But made it possible for all to live life abundantly.
For some of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ
This challenges and invades their individual identity
And disrupts the balance that many people of faith
Strive to have in this world
Because this means that the village, sometimes erupts
Into a cornucopia of colors and chaos.
My friend Larry continues to define Acts this way for his community,
"We seek an economy of mutuality and the sharing of personal wealth and talents for both the common good and personal development,…..We come together sharing real property and other goods so that, through the joining of individual resources for the sake of the community, individuals may have not only what they need…."
The Good News of Jesus Christ is because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice
Upon the Cross
We as a part of God's Creation
Have the Freedom to live an Abundant Life
Because of what Jesus has done for US
We, in turn, serve as gatekeepers
For our fellow brothers and sisters
To stand between the ability of them enjoying LIFE
And being forgotten, cast out, abused and dying
Living life abundantly means living for one another,
sharing of our testimonies and of what the Creator freely gives to us-of the bread and the wine,
the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Thanks Be To God.

(LinuxWorld) -- Got Debian? Don't got GNOME 2? Not surprising. Debian doesn't get nearly as much attention as other distributions when it comes to updating software packages, least of all desktop environments like KDE and GNOME. There are good reasons for this, and bad ones, but either way it's reality.
The problem with packages like KDE and GNOME is that you often have to wander away from the standard Debian servers to get the latest versions. This introduces the potential for unresolved dependencies or even package and library conflicts. If you're a Debian user, you can look on the bright side in this case. You may be able to find Red Hat or Mandrake RPMs for the latest KDE or GNOME packages before you find packages for any other Linux platform, but in my experience, I've seen far more RPMs introduce unresolved dependencies and cause resolution headaches than when I update software in Debian.
It is also a problem that seems to be confined to the testing and unstable distribution branches of Debian. That's cold comfort if you want to run the latest KDE or GNOME, however, since you are likely to be running either testing or unstable in those cases. But not too cold. I run the unstable branch, so I encounter the most problems possible, yet I've been able to resolve all of them easily. Unless RPM management has evolved dramatically over the past year or two, I'm happy using Debian instead of RPM-based distributions.
If you're also running Debian, here's how to install GNOME 2. (Thanks goes to the Hadess Web site for this information. See resources for link.) Login as root (or whatever administrator account you prefer to use) and add lines like these to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

If you're a long time Debian user, you already know that you should substitute the ftp.uk.debian.org portion with a mirror site that is closer to you. If you're not a long-time Debian user, now you know that's what you should do.
All you have to do now is install GNOME 2. Here's how to do it. Login as the administrator or root and issue the following commands. You can omit the first two commands if you like. I include them here to make sure you're running the latest version of all your other packages before you bother installing GNOME 2.
The -u switch simply makes apt-get show you all the packages it is about to remove, update and install, which gives you a chance to abort the procedure if it is about to do anything you wouldn't like. According to the Hadess site, you should probably install the following packages as well: fam and msttcorefonts, which is why I included the third command. This command won't do anything harmful if you already have one or both of these packages installed.
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade -u apt-get install fam msttcorefonts apt-get -t experimental install gnome2
Mixed impressions
Before I give you my first impression of GNOME 2, let me be clear that my impressions are not necessarily based on GNOME 2 as you will experience it, but GNOME 2 as it happened to install on my particular system. This distinction can be important, since I have a few custom packages installed that can create problems unique to my system. For example, I have my own PNG and Image Magick libraries that take precedence over the same Debian libraries. Once upon a time, these libraries caused problems for KDE 2 and KDE 3 on Debian, which is why I replaced the Debian versions with my own. These problems may have since been resolved, but I haven't yet backed out to the Debian libraries.
Given that many of my problems may be unique (or at least limited to people with similarly configured systems), here's what I experienced.
First, GNOME 2 doesn't seem to like Sawfish and I can't figure out why not. I run many different window managers and desktop environments, so I am used to starting GNOME with the following command:
xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session
As far as I know, GNOME is supposed to use Sawfish as its window manager. Yet when I start GNOME 2, it usually seems to start Blackbox as the default window manager. (It used to start Icewm, but I uninstalled Icewm to see what would happen. What happened is that it starts Blackbox.) It doesn't seem to matter that I've used the gconf-editor to set the default window manager to sawfish. Somehow or another, it eventually sets it back to Blackbox without my permission. I can use gconf-editor to set it back to Sawfish, after which GNOME 2 will start Sawfish for a while.
If you haven't used the gconf-editor, you're in for a real surprise. The gconf-editor brings the pleasure of managing the Windows registry to GNOME 2. In return, I suggest we find the person whose idea it was to create the gconf-editor, tie that person to a chair and make him or her watch home videos of the Windows 95 launch over and over again until they repent and destroy all traces of this program so that it is removed from the history of GNOME 2 forever.
Even when I have Sawfish running, I find GNOME 2 to be incredibly buggy on my system. There are times when the Sawfish window menu simply refuses to appear. Whenever I click on the menu button in the title bar, an error message appears on the console window to tell me that the system menu is already open. Then there are times when I can't seem to give a window the proper focus without clicking on it several times.
Granted, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but GNOME, GTK, and Sawfish are range from boring to hideous in the eye of this beholder. Nautilus 2, the file manager, is very attractive, but I haven't figured out why it can't display a simple Web page. Instead, it displays the page as text and offers to display it in Lynx, Mozilla, Netscape, or some other Web browser. I know that it once used a default HTML rendering engine, and I even seem to recall that it could use Gecko, the Mozilla engine. Surely there is some configuration setting somewhere that will make Nautilus 2 behave this way again, but I haven't found it yet.
Bottom line
In the end, my first impression of GNOME 2 has been very negative, but I have not come to any firm conclusions about it yet. It's obvious that I'm experiencing several configuration problems, some of which may be simple to correct. I'm not quite willing to bash GNOME 2 for these glitches yet. If I find out it's not just a matter of education or simple installation and configuration errors on my part, then I'll start the bash fest. Stay tuned.

As the title reads.
Hook up with the riders in Seoul. Search for MTBK (mountain bike Korea) on Yahoo! Groups. Great bunch of guys. Bike magazine did an article on one of them about 2 years ago.
Where abouts are you located?
There's a couple groups of expats around, depending on if you like the DH or XC side of things. A couple times a year we all get together for a bbq...
Everyone is pretty much based in or near Seoul, but we get around.
beery DH: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Filthyfreeriders/
XC poofters: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/mtbk/
I am right outside of Songtan. Seoul would be a very hard place for me to get to since I don't have a vehicle. I will keep an eye out. Thanks.

I will be there by late February and will likely have some free time starting in March. I will be living in New Sondo City which is a bit south of Inchon. I don't have a clue about where to ride but that could be part of the fun. A few nice fellers offered to show me the trails. I may have access to a car but that depends on some things we are ironing out right now.
Shoot me a PM.

Golden Mylk (or "milk" if you make it with dairy) is made using turmeric powder. Turmeric was traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for treating infections, as well as for dressing wounds and reducing inflamation⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾. Modern research has confirmed curcumin (a polyphenol* in turmeric) as having notable anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾. In fact, such is the considered potential of curcumin, that many researchers are advocating exploring the utilisation of curcumin concerning the treatment of cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾⁽³⁾. Curcumin on its own does not have a high level of bioavailability**; however, piperine (a compound in black pepper) increases the bioavailability of curcumin 20-fold ⁽⁴⁾. Therefore, to support my body in absorbing curcumin I add ground pepper to my golden mylk.
- ¹/₂ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp. raw honey (add more or less to your preference)
- 2 cups of oat mylk (or dairy milk)
- pinch of finely ground black pepper
- Strainer (tea strainer is fine)
Warm the mylk (or milk) in a small saucepan over the stove, to just below boiling point. Pour in your turmeric, raw honey and ground black pepper. Give it a gentle whisk for several minutes to help everything mix together. Pour the drink from saucepan into your favourite cup, using the strainer to catch any bits. Enjoy.
Tip: sometimes I add additional flavourings such as cinnamon, or some cayenne pepper for a little heat!
* a polyphenol is a micronutrient with antioxidant activity
**bioavailability is a the proportion of a substance which enters the circulation of the body, enabling it to have an active effect

Today is the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. Back then, it seemed certain that a revolution in space travel was about to happen -- first the moon, then Mars -- and with a few scientific and engineering breakthroughs, perhaps even Alpha Centauri and the galaxy beyond would be within reach. It was a Star Trek geek's dream.
But alas, such was not to happen. The cost -- in energy, in dollars -- of getting people and equipment the first 200 kilometers up into Low Earth Orbit was and continues to be the biggest obstacle hindering the development of humanity's future in space. It is sad to think that the current plans for returning to the moon aren't based on any substantive technological advance beyond what was used for Project Apollo.
In this NASA archival photo, Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, Apollo ll mission commander, works at the modular equipment storage assembly (MESA) of the Lunar Module Eagle on the historic first extravehicular activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. The moonwalk began at 22:56 EDT on July 20, 1969 when Armstrong stepped onto the Moon, the first human being to set foot onto another world. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin followed a few minutes later. Aldrin took this photograph with a Hasselblad 70mm camera.
Most astronaut photos from the Apollo 11 mission show Buzz Aldrin. This is one of only a few that show Neil Armstrong (some of these are blurry).
The third member of the crew, Astronaut Michael Collins, remained in lunar orbit in the Command Module Columbia.
When we think of the Wright Brothers, we see their first flight as a first step in massive technological and social development that built on what they achieved and extended it further. When we think of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, we remember them as the ones who were first to a place to where we have lost the ability to return. My hope is that we all live long enough to think about Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins in the same way that we think about the Wright Brothers.

I ran out of time, like always, and changed my approach a bit.

My friend Adria makes these custom beautiful necklaces and bracelets, so I called her up and got them each little initial necklaces instead, A for Ashland. They are lovely, and seemed to be a hit with the grandmothers!

And for my birthday (yesterday), my parents gave me a Flip Camcorder! Hooray! Look for some video of the little tyke soon!jennahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758490490559215364.post-81915437031705998112009-05-05T08:51:00.000-07:002009-05-05T09:16:48.893-07:00New Quilt!I signed up yesterday for another class at my local quilt shop. Although I would love to work on my quilts independently, realistically I do much better in a class. Then I have set goals and assignments, and the quilt comes to fruition much faster. Otherwise, I just daydream and dilly-dally over patterns and fabrics and I don't do anything except think about quilts.

So this one is the Bento Box quilt, and class starts on Thursday. I started my fabric selection yesterday, purchased 11 fat quarters, and already I'm changing my color scheme. I guess this is okay, since I really do need to pad my fabric stash. I have such a difficult time finding fabrics I like at our local shops. It could be that I'm too picky, but they tend to have very limited selection of more modern prints. So I end up shopping around at several shops around the county, and then purchasing some online... no time for an online purchase for this quilt, so I'll have to rely on my local resources.

Originally I was going for greens and blues, then I transitioned to greens, yellows, and oranges. Then I came home, and my husband suggested that I make the quilt for our bed... Which would change the palette to browns, peaches, and oranges... Hm...

I love the Bento Box quilts by Amanda Jean and Swim Notes, so I'm planning on using white as my lighter colors as well.

I'll update on my progress as things move along. I hope there's progress. I hope I'm able to keep up with the class! This is my first quilt since Ash was born, so time is a bit more difficult to manage these days!jennahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758490490559215364.post-3438499379071293602009-05-03T17:09:00.000-07:002009-05-03T17:25:22.999-07:00Mother's Day giftsMother's Day is around the corner. My first Mother's Day as a mom, and my mother's first Mother's Day as a grandmother.

I've been considering gift ideas for sometime. I thought about some of those handprint molds, but those just seem so antiquated.

I considered a quilt, but realistically, I just don't have the time to finish by next weekend.

And then today I saw these and thought they might just do the trick. Handmade, but not too time consuming...

We have a great house for indoor plants. And a great house for indoor photography. But it's a horrible house for a napping baby. So many windows, so few curtains and blinds. Plenty of light, but not much napping as of late.

We just ordered some black-out blinds for the nursery. They can't come fast enough. But I guess we should build the crib too, so we have a place to put the non-napper.

If its meant to be< God will cause lines to fall in the perfect place. Hes too faithful to fail.
I'm guilty of not commenting, but on d days I do, I comment and comment and comment. I'm @ a point where I'm thinking of dumping my programme in calabar for lagos. But since I have paid my fees, money cannot waste, I must finish it even though I dislike the programme. I wrote the aptitude test for lagos on Monday and I pray I pass # so help me God. I'm @ d point where I need a real job, or d grace/push to start up a business. Its not a question for capital o, and I am not lazy, but this fear of d unknown is really taking its toil on me. I always tot I will see myself through post grad, but having to rely on my parents sucks big time. I'm @ d point where I want to love back, cos I feel loved right now #heheheheheh# but I just can't. My younger sis got married on Saturday #smiles# she is my bestie, and even though she is a twin I'm closer to her than anyone else, I wish her HML. But then again, y I'm I so damn scared of marriage??? Could it be all these sad stories I hear, or cos of all these heart breakers around??? finally my dad needs tons of prayers. He is back @ d hospital for d 100th time this year. Lol. I actually lol cos I have resigned myself to fate. Its either God wants to heal him, or he wants to take him. But If he wants to take him please let him stop going through so much pain, he is only 58 for crying out loud, and d pain breaks my heart. Dear men, make it a point of duty to go for regular checks too. Breast cancer is real for both sexes, only worse for men (one in a thousand cases) cos there isn't much breast tissues for d cancer to eat up, so it goes straight to your other organs.

Hey sorry about your dad, will surely say a prayer for him, and congratulations to your sister may she have a blessed marriage.Delete

I need to find my way back home and it sure isn't any address here on earth.
Also, I'm presently reading Oscar Wilde's "The picture of Dorian Gray" and it has me wondering how I've lived without paying more attention to english classics all my novels filled life.

Trouble at Easter Time
It was spring time and Easter was coming… …
A rabbit name Bunny lived on Penny's farm.
One day, Bunny was busy preparing for Easter.
She went to get her Easter eggs.
However, she found her eggs were missing!
She was so angry! "Where are my eggs?!" she said.
She thought they must've been stolen by someone.
She started to look for them.
First, she went to the farmhouse in which Penny lived.
She asked Penny, "Do you know where my eggs are?"
"Sorry, I don't know." said Penny.
Next, she went the barn. "Miss. Cow, do you see my eggs?" "Mooo, I don't. Maybe you can ask the sheep in the field." The cow said.
Thus, Bunny went to ask Miss. Sheep. "Maaa… I have no idea." She said.
Bunny hopped and happed. She went to the haystack. She met Mickey Mouse!
"Do you know who took my eggs?"
"Well, I ran through the henhouse this morning and saw some strange eggs!" he squeaked.
Bunny hopped all the way to the henhouse. Finally, she found her Easter eggs. Mother Hen had been sitting on them the whole time!
Mother Hen said, "Oh… I thought these were my eggs. I sat on them for a long time and they didn't crack! No wonder!"
Bunny shared her eggs with everyone on the farm and had the happiest Easter ever!

Conclusion: Transmission and Transformation of Music Sound, Knowledge, Practice, and Identity across Generations
David Verbuč
Authors of the articles in this volume talk about a diversity of themes and issues as related to its main topic of transmission and transformation of music sound, knowledge, practice, and identity across generations. The case studies are regionally and culturally centered on China, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia, with the exception of the first two chapters that cross multiple geographic and cultural areas from around the globe, while the writers come from these same first four places, in addition to Holland and the US.
The authors tend to be particularly interested in a historical and political context of music transmission and transformation on the one hand, and the role of individuals in this same regard on the other. Some of the articles address the topic of intergenerational transmission as it intersects with intercultural and cross-geographic transmission – in other words, they talk about crossing of cultural bridges at the intersection of time and place (Nettl, Blum, Nowak, Poděbradský, Dahlig-Turek, Maćko-Gieszcz). Furthermore, several of them reveal how transmission processes can function as modes of resistance (Kouwenhoven, Lin, and Rees, Poděbradský, and Maćko-Gieszcz). Finally, all of the authors exhibit a nuanced concern with the need for multidimensional cultural perspective that takes into account social complexity and contradiction. In this concluding chapter, I identify the main themes and concerns of the texts in this publication, and talk about the significance of particular scholarly contributions on this matter.
The authors of the first two articles, Bruno Nettl, and Stephen Blum, address the history of ethnomusicological study of music, and in this way emphasize the transmission and transformation of various disciplinary approaches through time. Nettl discusses in this respect the transformation of the discipline, as it passed through three different historical stages that he characterizes with the following metaphors: "center," "islands," and "bridges." Nettl observes in this manner the transformation of ethnomusicological discipline from the one preoccupied with cultural difference, to the one that is unearthing similarities and connections between cultures. Through the method of storytelling about several individuals and their life and scholarly trajectories, Nettl also advocates for the bridging of differences and looking beyond the binary oppositions between social groups, various music disciplines, scientific and applied approaches, emic and etic perspectives, between particulars and universals, culture and individual, and the fixed notions of West and non-West, art and folk, and composition and improvisation. While Nettl is on the one hand primarily concerned with the change of ethnomusicology through time and its transformation from "islands" to "bridges," Blum, on the other, advocates for "a continual engagement with the work of earlier generations," and argues on this point that "most of the kinds of work we engage in as ethnomusicologists were actively pursued before August 1914 in the six European empires that would soon be at war." Following this premise, Blum identifies three "bridge-building" disciplinary activities: music ethnography, music cognition, and music folklore, and illuminates multiple cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary scholarly efforts of several music researchers from the beginning of the 20th century.
Institutional and state-supported versus non-institutional, and Western versus local and traditional forms and types of transmission are analyzed and compared by the authors of the articles about Chinese musicians (Frank Kouwenhoven, Lin Chen and Helen Rees), and Romani musicians in Slovakia (Nuska). With reference to the former, Kouwenhoven, Lin, and Rees describe several case studies of individual musicians existing within and without Chinese music institutions, and place them in the context of historical, political, and economic changes in China, and the Westernization and modernization of Chinese society. Authors argue that local and traditional repertory, aesthetics, playing techniques, and methods of transmission were marginalized within the Chinese educational music institutions in the second half of the 20th century at the expense of the adoption of Western methods and approaches to music and music transmission. At the same time, they scrutinize the counter-currents that exist in this regard, ranging from individual resistances and revivalist trends to current institutional reforms. Moreover, they reveal how continuing and revived traditionalist and grassroots approaches are often invigorated by new cultural forms, ideas and sensibilities.
In the chapter about Romani music transmission in Slovakia, Peter Nuska uses a Western institutional model of music transmission as a backdrop for his analysis of indigenous Romani methods of music transmission that are, as Nuska argues, crucial for the understanding of Romani music style and aesthetics. Moreover, Nuska identifies the material and economic basis of Romani music and their methods of music transmission, which in his view stems from the aim of Romani musicians to earn money and maximize their profits.
The next two articles by Tomasz Nowak and Oldřich Poděbradský both deal with borderline individual musicians and their role in the transmission and transformation of music and identity. Poděbradský focuses on the musician Eduard Hones from the Šumava region of the southeastern part of the Czech Republic. In it, he discusses how local Šumava music tradition underwent multiple historical, political, and cultural changes that affected the area and its culture during the 20th century and up until today. In addition, Poděbradský discusses not only musical transmission, but also the continuation and transformation of borderland Šumava identity through time, and its existence in geographical, social, cultural, and musical in-betweenness.
In his case-study of Bartek Obrochta, a 19th century musician from the Polish borderland region of Podhale, Nowak analyses an intellectual change in the perception of this individual musician, who himself served as a bridge between different times and places. In Nowak's account, perception of Obrochta's role and image by mostly Polish intellectuals and researchers changed in time from underappreciation to mythologization. On this intellectual and ideological journey, it also oscillated between contrasting perspectives on Obrochta as a conservative versus an innovative musician, and on his repertory as homogeneous versus heterogeneous. Nowak's study itself offers a further step in this direction, which aims toward demythologization of Obrochta on the one hand and provides a more complex and multidimensional perspective of this historical music figure on the other.
In the last two chapters, Ewa Dahlig-Turek and Kaja Maćko-Gieszcz write about two kinds of recent music transmission and transformation processes in Poland, which result in the reconstruction and reimagination of past village music instruments and practices. Both of them are concerned with a "multidimensional" approach and perspective and therefore present their case studies of particular cultural phenomena as complex social networks that in their music transmission efforts establish social bridges across time, space, and culture. In her study of Polish knee-fiddles, Dahlig-Turek outlines the "multidimensional bridging" of two different projects that aimed toward a reconstruction of a forgotten traditional instrument and its repertory and playing techniques. Maćko-Gieszcz examines Polish "countryside" singing workshops in urban settings, as they generate real and imagined intergenerational, cross-cultural (rural-urban, cross-class), and interpersonal connections. Moreover, she delineates different types of meanings and motivations behind a diverse variety of "countryside" singing workshops that span from more ideological and political to more pragmatic ones.
The authors in this volume bring together many intriguing ideas and approaches to the study of transmission and transformation of music sound, knowledge, practice, and identity across generations. Their common strength is to provide detailed and introspective insights into complex and sometimes contradictory processes of music transmission, and too often question preestablished notions about these processes. The editors of this volume are certain this will be a valuable contribution to the field of ethnomusicological study of music transmission.

Our Curriculum
Natural Foundations in Music is designed for music educators, classroom educators, homeschool families, parents, grandparents—anyone who wants to nurture the love and appreciation of music in children. Our program is different in what it offers because anyone can purchase and begin using our curriculum immediately. Whether you are a parent or teacher, we want to equip you to share music with your child or students today! Below is an example of the Natural Foundations in Music class format.
Each session will have a notable beginning with a bow, followed by the "Hello Song." This is an opportunity to engage each child immediately and welcome them by singing his/her name.
Music Appreciation
This component is not designed to be extremely long. It is a short exposure to instruments (year one), composers (year two), and musical periods (year three). The goal in teaching these aspects is to give children a better understanding, and therefore appreciation, of classical music. Each section starts by playing a piece of classical music. It is important to teach the children how to listen. Asking them questions before, or giving them something to listen for is helpful in creating an attentive listening experience (e.g. instrument voicing, tempo changes, etc., knowing that for some groups experiencing the music through movement is best).
Music Skills
Warming up is an important part of any musician's practice routine. Our curriculum includes scales in various tonalities, tonal activities and rhythm activities (like tonal dialogue and rhythm dialogue). This aspect isn't intended to be long, but it is very important. It not only sets the discipline for proper warm-up, it also helps with basic tonal and rhythm competence (being able to sing in tune and keep a beat). Props can be fun for this activity, but they aren't necessary.
Follow-Me! songs are a great way for children to gain confidence in singing. The teacher sings one phrase and the children echo, or repeat, exactly the same phrase. This is a great skill in listening and pitch matching, as well as following directions. If the teacher/parent doesn't feel confident singing, you can sing along together by echoing the CD recording.
Classical Play
Creative play is a great way for children to learn. Classical Play combines creative play with classical music. Children will pretend, move and explore all while allowing the music to guide them. The teacher's guide provides a few suggested activities to each piece of classical music, but the activity is not at all limited to these. In fact, it's fun to ask children what they think of when they hear the music. Allow their imaginations to drive the classical play time. A great way to start this section of the class is to ask the children if they enjoy pretending or playing make-believe.
Vocal Rhythm
This component combines vocal rhythm with specific movement to encourage multi-sensory learning (listening, watching, touching and vocalizing). For the most part, vocal rhythms will be done as a chant, or spoken. Taking out the element of pitch can help the children understand keeping a beat, using inflection to help communicate, and speaking while doing actions. Taking out that one little piece can encourage the other skills to be learned on a deeper level. These activities are done in varying meters to give the children a wide variety of meter experience.
Singing Songs
Children will build a vocal repertoire by learning to sing traditional (folk) songs with accurate pitch. In addition, they will learn about musicianship of vocal music (dynamics, tempo, tone, etc.). These songs are often familiar, which is an added benefit. It allows for more emphasis on musicianship.
Rhythmic Movement
Using rhythm instruments, children will learn to move and play while staying with the "beat," watching the teacher to follow directions. As the children gain confidence, have them stand in place to march (finding both micro and macro beats). Move to marching around the room next. It's good to allow a few lessons where movement/playing is free and child-directed. It's also good to have a lesson where the children are following the teacher for directions. Both are important skills to learn.
Song Stories
Combining a great story with an unforgettable melody creates the wonder of a Song Story. Some of the song stories have an accompanying book, while others use puppets to tell the story. Remember that with these songs, the teacher is sharing the story with the class. It is unlikely that the children will learn these songs well. They are participating by listening to you tell the story through music.
Each class will have a notable ending by singing a "Good-bye Song." The song is relaxing, allowing the session to end calmly, yet inspired. After the song, share a closing bow.

The Third Battle of Ypres was officially terminated by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig with the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. Nevertheless, a comparatively unknown set-piece attack – the only large-scale night operation carried out on the Flanders front during the campaign – was launched twelve days later on 2 December. This thesis, a necessary corrective to campaign narratives of what has become popularly known as 'Passchendaele', examines the course of events from the mid-November decision to sanction further offensive activity in the vicinity of Passchendaele village to the barren operational outcome that forced British GHQ to halt the attack within ten hours of Zero. A litany of unfortunate decisions and circumstances contributed to the profitless result. At the tactical level, a novel hybrid set-piece attack scheme was undermined by a fatal combination of snow-covered terrain and bright moonlight. At the operational level, the highly unsatisfactory local situation in the immediate aftermath of Third Ypres' post-strategic phase (26 October-10 November) appeared to offer no other alternative to attacking from the confines of an extremely vulnerable salient. Perhaps the most tragic aspect of the affair occurred at the strategic level, where Haig's earnest advocacy for resumption of the Flanders offensive in spring 1918 was maintained despite obvious signs that the initiative had now passed to the enemy and the crisis of the war was fast approaching.

As an iOS data transfer tool, MobiMover supports the data transfer between two iOS devices (iPhone/iPad in iOS 8 or later) or between iOS device and computer. No matter you want to sync data from one iOS device to another, export files from iPhone/iPad to computer or, like in this case, add items to iPhone/iPad from PC, you can get things done with ease via MobiMover. As an iPhone content manager, MobiMover helps you to delete/edit the existing files on your iDevice or add new items to it from the computer. For example, you can delete all photos from your iPhone, add a new bookmark to iPad to edit the contacts on your iPhone from the computer. In a word, MobiMover is an unmissable tool for iDevice users like you. Follow the steps below to transfer photos, including GIF, JPG, BMP, ICON, TIFF, and PNG, from PC to your iPhone/iPad within minutes.
Step 1: Download and install EaseUS MobiMover Free on your computer running Windows 7 or later. To help MobiMover identify your iPhone/iPad, it's necessary for you to install iTunes on your PC, which is inevitable while using third-party software.
Step 2: Connect your iPhone or iPad to your PC with a USB cable and launch EaseUS MobiMover. Once connected, tap on Trust on your iPhone/iPad screen to continue.
Step 3: To transfer photos from PC to your iPhone/iPad, go to Transfer to This Device from the main interface and choose to add photos to your device By folder or By file. You can also get things done by going to Custom, under which you can not only manage your iDevice content but also transfer data to or out of your device.
Step 4: Then a new window will appear asking you to select the files or folders you'd like to transfer to your iPhone/iPad.
Step 5: After the selection, MobiMover will show you how many items you have selected and which App/Apps the items will be transferred to. You can click Add to add more items to transfer or tap on Transfer to begin to import photos from PC to your iOS device.
Step 6: When it's completed, you can go to the corresponding App on your iPhone/iPad to check the photos transferred.
As the free alternative to iTunes, MobiMover brings you lots of conveniences when it comes to iOS data transfer. What's more, unlike using iTunes to transfer files, MobiMover will not cause data syncing while transferring files with fast speed. Don't hesitate to have a try.
