Father in heaven, our hearts desire the warmth of your love and our minds are searching for the light of your Word. Increase our longing for Christ our Savior and give us the strength to grow in love, that the dawn of his coming may find us rejoicing in his presence and welcoming the light of his truth. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
Loving God, in the wilderness of the Jordan you sent a messenger to prepare people's hearts for the coming of your Son. Help me to hear his words and repent of my sins, so that I may clearly see the way to walk, the truth to speak, and the life to live for Him, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
God of power and mercy, open our hearts in welcome. Remove the things that hinder us from receiving Christ with joy, so that we may share his wisdom and become one with him when he comes in glory, for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Father in heaven, the day draws near when the glory of your Son will make radiant the night of the waiting world. May the lure of greed not impede us from the joy which moves the hearts of those who seek him. May the darkness not blind us to the vision of wisdom which fills the minds of those who find him. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
Lord God, may we, your people, who look forward to the birthday of Christ experience the joy of salvation and celebrate that feast with love and thanksgiving. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Loving God, the grace we desire for this week is to be able to hear the promise and to invite our God to come into those real places of our lives that dearly need God's coming. We want to be able to say: "Lord, I place my trust in your promise. Please, Lord, rouse your power and come into this place in my life, this relationship, into this deep self-defeating pattern. Please come here and save me." Amen.

(Conversely if 10 people let you know the drum compression demands perform, maybe you should have a re-evaluation on bettering it.)
I'm now going through interruptions with this application and It is really bothersome as hell. It goes similar to this: I open the app and go with a song, it plays for a couple of minutes after which it instantly stops. The app does not freeze, it just stops and in some way exits alone. The Soundcloud notification bar does not show up, neither does the particular icon in the highest still left corner.
Generally you'll be able to visit the 'Make contact with Us' website page and someplace to the web page you will see their e mail above. About 80% they are going to also listing their electronic mail using a Get hold of variety. Grab the e-mail.

Being a producer myself, it took some time to learn the way to approach internet marketing myself. Now, I have approaches which permitted me to obtain more than a hundred,000 plays previously yr on SoundCloud. It also has gotten me highlighted on various YouTube channels. Among the list of important classes I acquired is the next:
• Receiver is tackled by very first name. • Rapidly clarify what you're emailing about, don't give your daily life Tale.
You can find tons of music on SoundCloud you will not hear any place else. I only website would like the offline characteristic may very well be employed without the need to update to SoundCloud GO but other than that It really is great :)

For Now, Mega Loads Won't Use Highway 12
For the time being at least, Imperial Oil has decided it is better off not sending oversized loads of equipment through Idaho and Montana. Over the last several months residents along Idaho's scenic Clearwater and Lochsa River's have been fighting to block the use of highway 12 to ship massive loads of oil extraction equipment. Instead the oil giant will break the 33 propsed megaloads down into 60, something they have long insisted was impossible and send them North along an interstate route. The decision comes as a major victory for opponents of the megaloads, but the route of future shipments remains in question. Check out an article in the Oregonian:

L is also for ... Lego
The excited young voice from the lounge, came rushing to my ears, "Daddy, look, I've built lego with lego!"
After a glorious sunrise, after a fabulous 11 miles ride with friends, after hearing the news of a colleague finishing the London marathon and after preparing a family meal, this was the major event of the day for a certain five year old!
I hope you've had a great weekend.

- You spend less time online. This was certainly true for me. A few days ago I calculated how much time I spent in front of a screen - any screen at all - and it was less than 2 hours a day. I believe I am doing more productive things with my time, but what's more it sets an example for my children. I don't want them growing up thinking its okay to be consumed by electronics; to be seated at the dinner table and be looking at your phone instead of each other.
- You have better feelings towards humanity in general. If you're not on FB, you don't see the inflammatory political statements, inane comments, ridiculous selfies, or general stupidity that seems to congregate on the FB. You don't become embroiled in arbitrary 'discussions,' in which there is no accountability or satisfaction. Your opinion about the population improves.
- You can be genuinely surprised when you see your old college pal walking down the street. You went on a service mission to Botswana?! You don't have to act like you didn't already see all their pictures online.
- Parental judgement. No one can make comments (positive or negative) about your parenting decisions, and you aren't comparing your children to anyone else's. What?! Their kid just wrote a letter to the Nobel Peace prize winner? What's my kid doing right now? Oh yeah, in the corner acting like a wounded panda.
- Being present. Your mind is not silently distracted by something incendiary or pointless you read on Facebook. It allows you to be more present in the moment.
- You are not tempted to cyber stalk an old flame/lover/hater/arch enemy. We have all done it, yo.
- More mental real estate. Do you really need to know what your old neighbor's favorite band is? Or what your sister's best friend's hair cut was in 1998? Nope. And that information is taking up space in your brain.
That being said, I have noticed two downfalls of being a non-FB participant. Firstly, I don't have any connection to my friends from Semester at Sea, or old friends from childhood. That does make me sad. The truth is, once that connection is severed, its not like you make up for it in any meaningful way. Secondly, I am routinely behind on pop culture. Did I see that video that went VIRAL a few weeks ago? Nope. But somehow...I am just alright with that.

Winter is upon us and we all know what that means, gross dry skin. I have battled dry skin and eczema most of my life and while I've mostly grown out of the eczema it still always comes back a little in the winter. To say it's a little embarrassing is an understatement, it's hard to feel pretty when you have gross red patches all over you. I think I have literally tried every single friggen lotion on the market, they all promise wonders, they all mostly don't deliver. The best store lotion is hands down Vaseline's Cocoa Butter (or the drugstore knockoff cuz I'm a cheap ass and they are the exact same ingredients in the exact same order, I checked). Another benefit of Vaseline's lotion is it contains lactic acid which helps get rid of those annoying little bumps under your arm. The only thing I have ever found that surpassed that is this little jar of pure cocoa butter I found in St. Maarten while I was stumbling and speaking drunk fluent French. All you had to do was heat it up in the microwave for about 20 seconds and rub it in and it was pure bliss until the little jar exploded in the microwave. I never even got any eczema patches or under arm bumps when I used it. Now that winter is rearing it's ugly little dry head again I decided to try and come up with a mixture that put even pure cocoa butter to shame, and boys and girls, I did it. Ridonkulously Moisturizing Lotion-
- 1 Cup pure shea butter
- 1/3 Cup almond oil
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp Vaseline cocoa butter lotion
- Melt shea butter over low heat, once melted add almond oil and honey. Let cool.
- Pour into mixing bowl and add lotion.
- Whip it, whip it good.
- Place in refrigerator for about an hour to firm up.
See, it's so easy. I made a very small batch because you really don't need much of this stuff. Plus, with any homemade beauty product you don't want it sitting around for too long, this will have a longer shelf life than most though because of the addition of the cocoa butter lotion. Let me know how you like it if you end up making it!

Make a Difference Monday | What My Foster Son Taught Me About Hospitality
When He first came to us, the house was a mess and dinner wasn't ready. We didn't have much time to roll out the welcome mat, and only Anna and I were here to greet him. But of all the guests I've had in my house, this little one has taught me the most about offering our home to others.
He's taught me that the mess doesn't matter. He could care less if the toys are put away and the fact that I haven't deep cleaned the fridge in months doesn't bother him in the least. He is at home here because we want him here, not because the house is tidy and well kept. Laughing and playing and loving happen despite the disorder around us. And when the focus is on the people in the house, rather than the looks of the house, magical things happen.
He's taught me that fancy isn't needed. Seasonal decor and perfectly kept furnishings are not necessary for him to be blessed by his time here. In fact, his crib is borrowed and the toys he enjoys have been well loved on before. The table where he dines has scratches and nicks, but the company he keeps while he eats loves the stew out of him. Plain things don't hinder the show of affection. We offer what we have, mainly ourselves, and that is enough for him.
He's taught me that letting go of the ideal is important. Ideally, he would have his own room. Ideally we would have extra space to store the wall-to-wall baby gear. Ideally we would have had everything in order before he came to us. But if we had allowed what was "ideal" to rule the day when we were deciding about inviting him in, we probably wouldn't have taken him. But we would have missed out on the supreme blessing of loving and being loved by him.
He's taught me that showing true hospitality is worth the effort. Having him here definitely requires more work. Everyone in our family has had to pitch in and give of themselves to make this thing happen. There is more to clean, more to cook, more work to do! But in that work a marvelous process is taking place; a little boy is finding his place in a family. And that family is discovering that life isn't solely about taking care of their own.
He's taught me that when God asks us to share, He gives us everything we need to do it. When we first learned that he would be joining us we had 36 hours to prepare, and exactly one thing ready for him; a crib. Within 6 hours, God delivered mounds of baby gear and clothes. And in the last 6 months, He's kept up a steady stream of deliveries. Through faithful friends and perfect strangers, God has provided what is needed to care for this little one. He's the best dressed and most fully equipped little darling in the area!
One little fellow has taught my family loads about inviting others into our home. We've learned that it's not so much about how the house looks or what's on the menu. Because of him, we now understand that offering ourselves and sharing what we have is the essence of true hospitality.

Imedi has filed a lawsuit with Strasbourg Court against Georgian government2010-04-19 17:25
A lawsuit against the Georgian government has been filed with the European Human Rights Court by the former journalists of the Imedi TV company. As was reported by the court office today, "in the opinion of the claimants, the Georgian authorities have roughly violated the Human Rights Convention that guarantees the right of freedom and personal security and the right for fair legal proceedings".gt-en-newsitem-inside
"We received the necessary documents by registered mail, - he is cited by ITAR-TASS. - At present, we are considering the issue of the lawsuit acceptability".
The journalists' complaint is connected with the events of 7 November 2007 when the special forces of the Georgian MIA entered the territory of the TV company.
According to the company officers, the building was smashed, while the journalists had to lie on the floor for several minutes with the guns pointed at them.
"The TV company equipment was almost fully disabled and mobile phones were taken away from the journalists so that we could not phone anyone", - one of the Imedi correspondents told then.
The TV company former officers are dissatisfied with the results of the incident investigation by the prosecutor's office of the country.

My blog is making me paranoid. Im using it as a place to let out all the things I dare not say.. Or at least what I dont want anyone I know to be let into.. I mean, eventually I may start another one.. I prolly will.. In which case, it will be different from this one, but I still need an outlet away from everything.. I thought about deleting the earlier posts, they make me cringe. They make me want to slap myself. They are like slapping myself. Theyre painful. I just wish it didnt end up this way. Not only did I manage to let an idiot in, let him hurt me, but I also lost my best friend. And he was exactly that. Weve been friends for so long, way before we started dating. Ive known him for gosh 7 years. So I guess thats another one of my problems, I knew him for so long and didnt see it. But back to the posts... maybe I should delete them, maybe I shouldnt.. I dont know yet..
I specifically do not use names for a reason..
I dont want to hurt anyone.. I dont want new thing to know how recent or how bad old thing is/was..
"A day late, A buck short, Im writing the report.."
Tomorrow is old thing's bday.. I want to text him happy birthday, but that would make me weak..
Im not going to. He has to learn that I wont be there for him when hes thrown it all away.. Im not going to. Im not going to. Im not going to.. Im deluding myself.. as of now... I wont.. In the morning.. tomorrow.. I may change my mind.. Im just going to remind myself all the things he said.. how he never really was there.. how I put in everything I had, let him into the deep corners of my being and then he threw it all away..
new thing is sweet and safe.. he wont hurt me.. he wont take me for granted.

Megastars are notorious for throwing tantrums when things don't go their way. So it's highly likely that the Pope's closest advisors are currently learning to duck like Naomi Campbell's housekeeper as his Holiness vents his anger at the massive misfire of his forthcoming UK tour.
The whole venture has been one long PR disaster, from the politically charged atmosphere surrounding the abuse cover-ups to the 'embarrassment' caused by the creation of a pamphlet explaining Catholicism in more contemporary lingo.
Now, with the news that thousands of tickets remain unsold for what was promised to be a kneeling-room-only affair, the Catholic Church is having to try and convince the public that "Catholics are looking forward to this visit very much indeed". It's a good job, since the rest of the population seems decidedly non-plussed about the least anticipated tour since Cher's decade-long 'farewell'.
In a time of penny-pinching cutbacks, the estimated £12 million cost of the pontiff's visit is harder to swallow than a pillow-sized communion wafer. It's not all bad news though, since a BBC poll found that 70% of British Catholics believe that the Pope's visit will "help the Catholic Church in the UK".
One person who's delighted about the impending arrival of everyone's favourite one-time Nazi is ice cream maker Antonio Federici. His company's new ad campaign is notching up some major news coverage on account of its controversial depiction of lustfulness inside the church.
With its heavily eroticised imagery of pregnant nuns and interracial gay priests, the campaign has clearly been designed to get people hot under the dog-collar. And although the Advertising Standards Authority has demanded that the 'immaculately conceived' ad be discontinued, Federici plans to replace it with a similarly provocative image that would be "a continuation of the theme".
The press attention generated by the campaign must far outweigh the impact of whatever media spend has been invested so far, and media observers are now on the edge of their pew waiting to see what image will appear on poster sites around Westminster Abbey. Just don't be too surprised if it's a choir boy being offered a Rocky Road by his Father Confessor.

Albuquerque to Rialto
Home Sweet Home
I am a little behind on my blogging. Since arriving home last Thursday, it has been non-stop catching up on school and being with friends. We arrived home last Thursday night after driving close to 745 miles in just under 10 hours. The joy I felt as I came out of the desert on I 15 was incredible. After being gone for close to 5 weeks, home was such an amazing feeling. After getting home and kissing the ground, the first place I headed was to the church. Oh, how I had missed my home church. The building is coming along just fine and we are excited to be a part of what God is doing in the IE. Life is finally getting back to normal, laundry is done, room is cleaned, and I am ready to enjoy Summer now.

Sign language and red birds
5 comments:
- the three of us said...
What you lack in quantity, you more than make up for in quality, Travis.
You hit the nail on the head with the first one. All of the previous order and hierarchy problems are solved beautifully. The variant of whites really ties it all together in a readable and not-too-distracting way.
The second one I've either never seen before, or you've changed it so much that I don't recognize it. Either way the figures against the dark blue map and bright grass are pretty stunning. In comparison, the bright contrasty stuff (teeth and birds)in the middle kind of kills it. You could probably do without it entirely, or make them smaller/more sparse/duller/arranged specifically... anything that will make them an embellishment rather than a focal point.
It seems like you have the same problems on the bottom one that you originally had on the top one, so I'm confident you can solve it successfully. Try applying the same changes.
In a word; awesome. The best stuff I've seen you do so far (which is saying a lot)

i love you.
i agree almost entirely with jimmy, here. the solution of the background pattern makes everything look so stable and cohesive...lovely. as for the second one, yeah, the arrangement of the embellishments like the teeth and scarlet birds seems to be just a little bit too structured, and is coming across as a shape unto itself, as opposed to a connecting region of the composition. perhaps positioning the items in such a way as to create a cascading effect (higher concentration trickling down to a lower concentration) between the figures would help out a bit.
regardless, it's a remarkably strong piece, and everything is obviously so cared for. i simply can't help but to love it, even if some compositional issues are left unaddressed.
i hope that you're doing well, travis! thanks for making it over here despite, i imagine, being incredibly busy! we just need to start planning a day to visit you now. :oP

oh my! looking at your second piece (once again), i *just* noticed that the papilio memnon was done with my photo as reference! funny. :o)

- Travis DeMello said...
Thank you, you two!
I'm still struggling with controlling values when I'm using paint, so it's great to hear that the first one with the deer is more successful. Both of your suggestions for the second piece are really helpful. I took out the teeth and left the birds and it's already looking a lot better. I'm going to shift things around a little and see if that helps (Sara, I like your idea of cascading elements). Eventually I need to find a way to put these all together with something other than removable tape, and figure out how to build a frame.
You two are super helpful, thank you

Sunday inspiration
I'm absolutely in love with today's inspiration, a very creative stop-motion commercial for Erbert & Gerbert's Sandwich Shop. They've produced what they call a human flipbook, and the result of all their hard work is so much fun to watch! The second video, which shows how they made the commercial, is also done in stop-motion, and it's just as entertaining as the commercial itself. Enjoy!
Wishing you all a creative and inspirational Sunday. ☺

text: I have set myself two challenges this year. My main one is to see as many species of everything in a year in the United Kingdom. The other one is being involved with the Patch Birding Challenge. The latter will be within a three mile radius of the centre of Whittle, which would then include Cuerden and Brindle. At the end of January, I set off walking from my home where already snowdrops and crocus were flowering on a field close by. My intention was to search for raven about a mile and a half away. It was a frosty day so I had ensured my fingers and ears were protected. Since I was walking the rest of me would be warm enough. A siskin feeding in my garden gave me a good send off, but a mistle thrush, practising his song early, was disturbed by my cough. I continued walking briskly and got to the quarry in a half hour.Several corvids were flying round, jackdaws shouting their name and a number of crows also making their presence heard. Then the "cronk" for which I had been listening. A pair of raven, their distinctive tails easily seen, seemed unhappy about an interloper. I scanned the clifftop with my binoculars and saw a solitary peregrine. That was a bonus ( including two points on the Patch Birding Challenge). I returned home a different way and apart from the usual common tits and finches, managed to see a kingfisher, heard a great spotted woodpecker and surprised a stoat too focussed on stalking a small mammal. I was surprised to see a single lesser celandine in flower. This is a little early for this flower, but it did get my total of botanical and zoological species seen to 80

About two weeks ago Amy informed me that Rick Springfield will be in Austin in March performing at the rodeo. So naturally I got all excited and started saving money for a ticket. But I never did buy one. Then Amy and I started discussing the concert and although we were both excited about the prospect of seeing him neither one of us was dying to go because we just saw him a couple months ago. I KNOW. I can't even believe it either. We decided to think about it for a couple more days before we purchased tickets.
That was Sunday. Monday on my way home from work our JEEP which was already having some problems decided to lose its power steering almost completely. Mike took it to the shop Monday afternoon and they said they could have it ready by Tuesday evening. Just in time for us to pick it up so I could have it for work today. Tuesday evening rolled around and they finally called us to say that they ordered the wrong part so it wasn't going to be fixed until today. Yeah. We still don't have our car. The part got held up in Dallas due to the bad weather. Seriously.
I had to call my boss last night and tell her I couldn't come to work today because I didn't have transportation. At first she told me that she needed me to come in anyway. I had horrible visions of walking my children for an hour through freezing rain to get to work because they couldn't find me a sub. I think we all know that wasn't going to happen. Luckily, she found someone at 9:30 last night to come in for me.
That's the good news. The bad news is that we've had to shell out so much money for this car in the last five weeks that I think my Rick Springfield concert ticket issue has been decided for me. In fact I think any money related issue that doesn't involve gas, groceries or utilities has been decided for me for the rest of the year. Too bad I didn't buy the $500 autographed guitar they were selling at the last Rick concert we went to. I could probably sell it on EBay right now and pay off the JEEP. Although I think we all know that would never happen either.

I can do the Stockmans Bowline and The Bank Robbers knot with my eyes closed now. Jamie gave me a race with the Bank robbers knot. He only just bet me.
A hot air balloon came over while we were doing knots.
Then I worked on our falling leaf, and driving from zone 5. Oh and backwaters over a pole, plus sideways from Zone 1. We have the option of doing liberty testing tomorrow which of course I'm going to do - why not.
A deer appeared and some people panicked but I knew Heart wouldn't care. It ran through the playground, then it's mate followed. Very cute. Big ears!!
I then saddled up and did the Bow Tie focus Station. I think I've really got the concept of that now.
At 11.30 we started our theory test prep, so I got to find out which questions I got right, and which ones I didn't. Grady said I got close to 90, so me being a perfectionist I'm aiming for - you guessed it - 100% tomorrow.
Here is a cute photos from todays play.
Sadly it's all coming to end end quite quickly. But I have learned so much, and I'm still planning on riding tomorrow after testing and also on Friday.
We missed the afternoon workshops because it rained!
Big thunder storm. Cleared up in time for the BBQ and camp fire though.

I brewed up my American IPA with 4 different kinds of C-hops. I tried to do a "regular" brew with a sparge but could not get mash temp above 150 with the original 3.5 gallons. So I ended up with 4.5-5 in the tun. This have me a gravity reading of 1.058 at 140 deg F and 3.75 gallons in the brew pot. I poured 3.5-4 gallons in tun for sparge. I got about 7 total gallons in the brew pot after an hour plus sparge. The gravity was 1.042 at 120+ degrees. This only comes to a gravity of about 1.050, so I've decided to do a 90 minute boil. I've got far more that 5 gallons in the pot, and I'd like to get a higher gravity. Even though I'm using some whole hops, I don't think I'll loose too much.
- 12# Two-row
- 0.45# Crystal 40L
- 0.45# Crystal 60L
- 0.5# Carapils
- 1 oz Columbus 13.4% at 60 min
- 1 oz Centennial 9.3% at 30 min
- 2 gallon freezer bags full of backyard hops at 15 min
- 1 oz Cascade 5.5% at 5 min
- 1 oz Citra (dry-hop in a couple weeks)
When I shook the first package of hops, Muku came looking for a treat. I am still having problems with my wort chiller. I did realize that the connector I purchased last week is slightly off. The 13/16″ male connection has thinner threads than the threads in the female part of the faucet. I switched back to using the out-take spigot from my mash tun and I forced a smaller tube over it, but I still had leakage at the point where it connects to the chiller. After much aggravation, I got the wort chilled, but my 90 minute boil back-fired. While I got a decent OG of 1.064, I only ended up with 4.5 gallons in the fermentor. I pitched California Ale yeast and off it goes.

4 Ways Going Vegan Made Me Fall in Love with Food
Embracing a plant-based lifestyle expands your food options and changes the way you eat.
I have to confess: similar to many people, I used to think going vegan meant the ultimate dietary sacrifice, as giving up what I considered major food groups seemed like an unattractive exercise in self-deprivation. But, to my surprise, when I finally made the switch, I found that I had more options and was eating a more varied diet than ever before. Naturally, I asked myself how that was possible. Soon, I discovered that my options increased when I started focusing on what I could eat rather than what I chose to avoid. Now, I don't feel like I'm missing a thing, and I wonder why I took so long to incorporate this delicious new diet into my life! With a new frame of mind and a new list of favorite foods, here are four ways I have discovered (and rediscovered) foods I never would have noticed (or eaten) had I not gone vegan.
1. Grocery-store finds
As a new vegan, I found myself spending more time in the produce section of the grocery store, filling my cart with fruit and vegetables. But instead of sticking to familiar favorites, I also started buying and learning to cook things I'd never tried before. I couldn't believe how delicious and creamy mashed celeriac can be or that I'd never attempted to make crispy parsnip fries before. On the sweeter side, I bought persimmons for the first time ever and fell in love with the subtle flavor. While I still enjoyed the more common produce I used to eat (apples, carrots, and cucumbers), I came to rely on them less often once the unfamiliar newcomers breathed life into what had become a boring routine. I began using trips to the grocery store as inspiration, challenging myself to find new foods and incorporate them into my weekly menu, instead of hurriedly zeroing in on the same ol' produce week after week.
2. New cuisines
My newfound adventurous nature at the grocery store led me to become more open-minded at restaurants as well. Rather than dining at popular chains that tend to have few (if any) vegan options on the menus, I tried eateries that served international cuisines with which I was unfamiliar. For instance, I ventured into an Ethiopian place near my apartment that advertised vegan-friendly food and ate injera and miser wat. Then, I emailed a local Lebanese restaurant and was delighted to receive a response from the owner letting me know they had plenty of vegan options (the baba ganoush was amazing!). These restaurants quickly became part of my regular rotation when I didn't feel like cooking, and I hadn't known they existed before going vegan!
3. Veganized classics
When I went vegan, the first thing I did was figure out how to veganize meals such as BLTs, enchiladas, and potato salad. It was during this time when I discovered recipes for veganized versions of comfort-food classics I never enjoyed—stuff like chili, scrambled eggs, and meatloaf—and, in the spirit of keeping an open mind, I decided to give them another try. Pretty soon, I was cooking scrambled tofu, meatloaf made from lentils, and black bean-sweet potato chili. Surprisingly, I found that I liked these dishes, but I preferred them with plant-based ingredients! Rediscovering all the foods I thought I didn't enjoy meant way more choices than I'd had before.
4. Familiar foods, re-imagined
I'd eaten lentils, beans, and walnuts before going vegan, but I'd eaten them in "traditional" recipes—walnuts in brownies, and beans in soups … that kind of thing. Veganism allowed me to rediscover foods such as these by using them in new ways. For example, every Christmas when I was growing up, our family tradition was to have homemade tourtière, a spiced mixture of ground meat and mashed potatoes encased in a flaky pie crust. Not wanting to have to part with this old favorite, I brainstormed ways the dish could be veganized and came up with a lentil-walnut mixture that perfectly mimicked the meat. I'd never considered using familiar ingredients like lentils and walnuts as a meat substitute, but once I tried that, I started looking at all ingredients differently, trying to figure out how they could be reinvented. As a result, I created ideas for innovative vegan dishes such as "hummusdillas" (quesadillas with hummus in place of cheese), baked potatoes topped with broccoli and a cheesy tahini-miso sauce, and pizza topped with eggplant "pepperoni."

Making College/University Affordable for the Poor
I was the first member of my family to get an education beyond high school–which, perhaps, explains why I kept getting degrees. I did fairly well in high school, but because of all the moves and drama in our family, didn't achieve top grades–and my guidance counselors gave me lousy advice. I didn't even know that one was supposed to take the SAT or ACT in one's junior year and apply for universities, then. I thought one finished high school and then looked for colleges. I knew that scholarships existed, but had no idea how to find out who offered them, never mind apply for them. My parents (who later went to university themselves) had no idea how to advise me. I joined the army partly because I had no idea how else to pay for college. In my experience, many bright teens from poor or working class families are in similar situations. Even if they have top grades and better guidance counselors, they often fail to prepare to apply for top level colleges and universities because they assume that they are out of reach.
In the middle of my doctoral work, I met Emilio Castro, who was then the Secretary General of the World Council of Churches and had been exiled from his home country of Uruguay for years while it was controlled by a military dictatorship. Castro spoke to my class of doctoral students and reminded us that most people in the world never have a chance for even one year of university study. We were blessed and had a responsibility to work to be able to provide more education to more people. I took it to heart.
Education is the most proven path out of poverty. The gospel is on the side of the poor and churches need to be working more strenuously to provide high quality education opportunities to more of the poor. Some churches are working with after school programs and mentoring for "at risk" children and teens. This is good.
One thing churches can do is to provide more information to those who think their options are more limited then they are. For extremely bright, talented, and motivated students who are poor or working class, the options and opportunities are often much greater than they know–or than guidance counselors tell them about. For instance, Questbridge is a program that helps top-notch students whose families make under $60 thousand per year gain needs blind admission to elite U.S. colleges and universities. They can apply to up to 8 schools (ranked) with one application fee. Accepted students attend with full scholarships at one of the most oexclusive colleges or universities in the U.S. Other elite schools, such as Harvard University, which are not part of the Questbridge program, have also taken major steps to become far more affordable for working class students. Pastors and youth ministers can inform talented youth about such programs, encourage them to apply, even recommend them to such programs.
I would like to see the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities develop a similar program to Questbridge. Few, if any, of their member schools or affiliates have huge Ivy League endowments that can be used for as generous financial aid packages. But they can partner with churches and denominations (are often already in such partnerships) to fund major scholarships.
Churches must work harder to make quality education available to all who can benefit from it.

Thanks for sharing this information, Michael! It will most certainly come in handy in our work with refugee youth.

The aim of this interactive workshop is to equip delegates with knowledge of how tablet technology and apps can be used to the benefit of people with dyslexia. A range of different apps and tablet features will be demonstrated.
Members of the Dyslexia Association of Ireland €40.00
Non-members of the Dyslexia Association of Ireland €60.00
Children and young people can attend for half-price, so the fee per child would be just €20.00 for members and €30.00 for non-members.
Parents, teachers, children and young people, adults with dyslexia, employers and other professionals.
Training Suite of the Dyslexia Association of Ireland office, 5th Floor, Block B, Joyce's Court, Talbot Street, D01 C861.
Wednesday May 17th 2017, 6:00pm – 8:30pm.
The session will be facilitated by Amy Smyth and Jennifer Byrne of the Dyslexia Association of Ireland.
Tea, coffee and soft drinks will be offered prior to the workshop commencing.
What to Bring
We will be using an Apple iPad (iOS platform). If you have access to such technology we suggest that you bring it along and you can work interactively with the facilitators. Participants are welcome to bring other tablets along (e.g. Samsung, Google, Android), although they should be aware that the workshop will be primarily focused on apps for Apple products and the facilitators may not necessarily be as familiar with other platforms.
Please ensure that your tablet is sufficiently charged to last the session as charging facilities are limited. You are welcome to attend without bringing any of your own technology and we are sure that the workshop would still be useful to you, albeit less interactive in nature.
A basic working knowledge of tablet technology is required to get the most out of this workshop – whilst it is designed to accommodate a wide range of ability levels, it would not be suitable for complete beginners.
Format and Philosophy
The aim of this workshop is to try and get across as much information as possible in the 2.5 hours to allow delegates to leave with the knowledge and ability to independently explore the tablet scene in relation to their own situation.
It is not possible to tailor the workshop to individuals or provide individual support in response to queries/issues to any great extent, but time for questions is built in to the session. Follow-up support can be provided as necessary via our Information and Advice Service.
No specific products or companies will be recommended by the Dyslexia Association of Ireland as per our general policy. Specific products and services will be mentioned for illustrative purposes and demonstrated as part of the workshop. No third party is represented or stands to gain from this training.
Wi-Fi will be provided and we will ask you to sign our Wi-Fi acceptable use agreement form in advance of the workshop.

So grateful for a wonderful Young Women's president and Laurel advisor who still keep in contact after 8 years. Met for lunch with some amazing women, and realized I am getting OLD.

November 6th: Grateful that I voted early so I didn't have to stand in any lines. (Even though it may have helped my body progress towards labor.) The line at my school was non stop all day long.

December 18, 2000
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Hurd, District Judge.
On February 2, 2000, plaintiff Inbal Hayut ("Hayut" or "plaintiff")
commenced the instant action in the Southern District of New York against
defendants pursuant to Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972,
20 U.S.C. § 1681-1688, and for the deprivation of federal
constitutional rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 1988, and
various state laws, including the New York State Human Rights Law,
Executive Law § 296 ("HRL"). She is asserting causes of action for
sex discrimination, due process and equal protection violations, state
constitutional tort, ministerial neglect, defamation, and intentional
infliction of emotional distress, and is seeking compensatory and
punitive damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and injunctive relief. On May
5, 2000, venue was transferred to the Northern District of New York by
the Honorable William C. Conner.
Defendant Alex Young ("Prof. Young") now moves to dismiss all claims
against him pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). The
other defendants move for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c). Plaintiff opposes. Oral argument was heard
on October 27, 2000, in Albany, New York. Decision was reserved.
This action arises out of the alleged sexual harassment of Hayut by
Prof. Young, and the failure of defendants Richard Varbero ("Dean
Varbero"), Lewis Brownstein ("Prof. Brownstein"), and Gerald Benjamin
("Dean Benjamin") (collectively, the "individual defendants"), to take
reasonable steps to investigate her complaints of sexual harassment. The
following are the facts stated in the light most favorable to the
nonmoving plaintiff
Hayut is a foreign-born Jewish female of Israeli descent.*fn1 After
successful completion of two years of community college, she enrolled as
a student at defendants State University of New York ("SUNY") and SUNY
College at New Paltz ("SUNY-New Paltz") (collectively "SUNY defendants")
for the 1998-1999 academic year. She alleges that one of her
instructors, Prof. Young, sexually harassed her in class throughout the
Fall 1998 semester.*fn2 This harassment consisted of Prof. Young
continuously referring to her as "Monica Lewinsky" throughout the fall
semester, and making comments which associated plaintiff with some of
Lewinsky's more notorious conduct. Prof. Young observed that plaintiff
wore the same color lipstick as Monica Lewinsky, and made comments such
as, "How was your weekend with Bill," and "Shut up, Monica. I'll give you
a cigar later." All of these comments were made in front of the entire
class. Plaintiff was greatly distressed by these comments, and she asked
Prof. Young to stop.
The effect of this harassment was intensified by the importance of
Prof. Young to Hayut's academic success. Hayut believed that she needed
his approval to succeed at SUNY New Paltz, because his classes
constituted more than fifty percent of her grade point average for the
semester and one hundred percent of her grade point average in her
major. In addition, the
political science department at SUNY-New Paltz had only a few professors,
which led Hayut to believe that she would have to continue to take
classes from Prof. Young in order to complete her degree requirements in
political science.
In November 1998, when the alleged harassing conduct had not ceased,
she went to an associate dean, Dean Varbero, to complain about Prof.
Young's conduct. He referred plaintiff to Prof. Brownstein, chair of
Prof. Young's department. Plaintiff alleges she went to Prof.
Brownstein's office and informed the staff she was there to complain
about Prof. Young's conduct. She was informed that Prof. Brownstein was
not in his office. She waited one hour for him to return, but he did
not. No one in his office offered to help her. After waiting an hour in
his office, she left. She did not make an appointment, or follow up on
her complaint until January 1999.*fn3
Because of Prof. Young's harassment, Hayut was overcome with shame and
humiliation. She was unable to concentrate, and her academic performance
was adversely affected. She barely passed her courses in the fall
semester, and received failing grades in the spring 1999 semester. She
voluntarily withdrew from SUNY-New Paltz, and had to complete a year of
remedial education before she was permitted to matriculate at another
A. 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss
In deciding a Rule 12(b)(6) motion*fn5, a court "must accept the
allegations contained in the complaint as true, and draw all reasonable
inferences in favor of the non-movant; it should not dismiss the
complaint `unless it appears beyond a reasonable doubt that the plaintiff
can prove no set of facts in support of [her] claim which would entitle

United States District Court, C.D. California
January 5, 2015
LISA MARIE SAUERBERG, Plaintiff,v.CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant
Lisa Marie Sauerberg, Plaintiff, Pro se, Los Angeles, CA.
For Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant: Assistant U.S. Attorney LA-CV, LEAD ATTORNEY, Office of U.S. Attorney, Civil Division, Los Angeles, CA; Assistant U.S. Attorney LA-SSA, LEAD ATTORNEY, Office of the General Counsel for Social Security Adm., San Francisco, CA; Jennifer A Kenney, LEAD ATTORNEY, Social Security Administration, Office of the General Counsel - Social Security Adm, San Francisco, CA.
CORMAC J. CARNEY, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE. Jean Rosenbluth, United States Magistrate Judge.
On June 11, 2014, Plaintiff filed pro se a Complaint challenging the denial of Social Security disability benefits. On June 13, 2014, the Magistrate Judge issued a case management order, requiring Plaintiff to file a motion for judgment on the pleadings within 35 days of service of Defendant's Answer to the Complaint. Defendant filed and served her Answer on October 23, 2014. Thus, Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings was due no later than November 27, 2014. On December 5, 2014, because Plaintiff had not timely filed her motion, the Magistrate Judge ordered her to show cause no later than December 19, 2014, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The Magistrate Judge noted that Plaintiff had also failed to comply with another order she had issued, requiring Plaintiff to file proof of service of the Complaint. The Magistrate Judge expressly warned Plaintiff that " her failure to timely and satisfactorily comply with this minute order will likely result in this case being dismissed for failure to prosecute." The Magistrate Judge also informed Plaintiff of the availability of help from the local pro se clinic. To date, Plaintiff has not responded to the Order to Show Cause.
Courts may dismiss lawsuits that are not diligently prosecuted. Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-30, 82 S.Ct. 1386, 8 L.Ed.2d 734 (1962); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1441 (9th Cir. 1988) (per curiam). In determining whether to dismiss a pro se plaintiff's action for failure to prosecute, a court must consider " (1) the public's interest in expeditious resolution of litigation; (2) the court's need to manage its docket; (3) the risk of prejudice to the defendants; (4) the public policy favoring disposition of cases on their merits[; ] and (5) the availability of less drastic sanctions."
Carey, 856 F.2d at 1440. Unreasonable delay creates a rebuttable presumption of prejudice to the defendant that can be overcome only with an affirmative showing of just cause by the plaintiff. See In re Eisen, 31 F.3d 1447, 1452-53 (9th Cir. 1994).
Here, the first, second, third, and fifth Carey factors militate in favor of dismissal. Plaintiff has ceased communicating with the Court altogether, and thus she certainly has not rebutted the presumption of prejudice to Defendant caused by her unreasonable delay in prosecuting this lawsuit, in which she has taken no action since filing the Complaint more than a half year ago despite three Court orders. There also does not appear to be any less drastic sanction the Court can take, as Plaintiff will not respond to the Court to try to address the situation. Further, Plaintiff was expressly warned that if she did not respond to the Magistrate Judge's Order to Show Cause, this action would likely be dismissed. Still, Plaintiff did not respond. Although the fourth factor weighs against dismissal -- as it does in every case -- the other factors together outweigh the public's interest in disposing of the case on its merits. See Long v. Astrue, 416 F.App'x 633, 634 (9th Cir. 2011) (upholding dismissal of Social Security action for failure to prosecute when Plaintiff had not served summons and did not show cause for her failure to do so).
Plaintiff has failed to prosecute this action, and it must therefore be DISMISSED. LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
In accordance with the Order Dismissing Action for Failure to Prosecute and Administratively Closing Case, IT IS HEREBY ...

I spoke at a meeting of the PsychoNeuroImmunology Research Society in Chicago in June and heard several very intriguing talks. Jonathan Kipnis from the Univ. of Virginia presented new findings on a mouse model of Rett syndrome that suggest a potential novel avenue of therapy. As discussed in Chap 9 of the book, Rett patients display some of the symptoms of autism, although there are many additional symptoms as well. The disorder is caused by mutations in the gene MeCP2. In the mouse model, this gene is inactivated, and the mice display learning and other deficits, and their lifespan is much shorter than normal ("wild type") mice. The widespread symptoms of Rett in many organs are thought to be due to the importance of MeCP2 in those several organs, in addition to the brain. Kipnis had the novel idea of seeing what would happen when normal MeCP2 is restored in the immune system by treating the MeCP2 mutant mice with bone marrow transplants taken from wild type mice. Kipnis reported that this rather straightfoward treatment allowed the treated mice to live much longer than the mutant mice without the treatment, and they also perform much better in some behavioral tests, although the tests used were not particularly relevant to autism. The restoration of normal MeCP2 occurred not only in the immune system, but also in the particular population of cells in the brain called microglia. It is known that these cells can be derived from stem cells in the bone marrow, and certain parts of the mutant mouse brains displayed repopulation by wild type microglia following the bone marrow transplant. Thus, it is possible that the key action of this MeCP2 restoration could be in the brain or in the immune system, or in both. Since such transplantation is fairly safe, one wonders if a clinical trial could be under consideration.
Another fascinating talk was by Tony Wyss-Coray from Stanford. He studies Alzheimer's disease (AD) and aging. It is known that the most important risk factor for AD is age, and it is also clear that the production of new neurons in the brain slows down dramatically with age. Wyss-Coray asked the novel question: could there by systemic changes that affect the brain – are there molecules that increase in the blood of the elderly that slow down the production of new neurons in the brain, and thereby cause deficits in learning and memory? He first did a parabiosis experiment in which a young and an old mouse are surgically linked together like Siamese twins so that they share a common circulation. Amazingly, this led to a striking drop in new neurons in the young mouse brain, and an increase in new neurons in the old mouse brain. He then looked for molecules in the blood of the old mouse and identified a chemokine (this is a family of small proteins related to the cytokines discussed throughout my book) called CCL11 (also known as eotaxin), which, when injected into young mice decreased the production of new neurons and impaired learning and memory. Thus, the increase in eotaxin in the blood that occurs during aging appears to be sufficient to cause some of major problems that are found in the brains of old mice. These results immediately suggest experiments in which eotaxin activity is blocked or its levels lowered to see how many effects of aging can be inhibited! It is also interesting that a chemokine is the key factor because it is well known that inflammatory-like changes are part of aging, both in the brain and in the circulation. Once again, the brain-immune connection is critical for understanding critical biomedical issues. This study has recently been published (Villeda et al., Nature 477:90, '11).

Bayern Munich Confirms Interest In Juventus Striker Paulo Dybala
It has been reported that Bayern Munich supremo Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has admitted interest in Juventus striker Paulo Dybala.
The Bundesliga giants meet Juve in the Champions League quarterfinals.
Rummenigge said: "A player I would like to recruit at Bayern Munich? Paulo Dybala of course!
"I really like Dybala, but the problem is that for such a player you have to spend a lot of money.
"We all know Juventus is not a club that sells its best."

My involvement in this case has generated a certain degree of consternation among conservatives. How could a politically active, lifelong Republican challenge the "traditional" definition of private property ownership and press for an "activist" interpretation of the Constitution to create another "new" constitutional right?
My answer to this seeming conundrum rests on a lifetime of exposure to persons of different backgrounds, histories, viewpoints, and intrinsic characteristics, and on my rejection of what I see as superficially appealing but ultimately false perceptions about our Constitution and its protection of equality and fundamental rights.
Many of my fellow conservatives have an almost knee-jerk hostility toward theft. This does not make sense, because the thief's newfound property promotes the values conservatives prize. Property ownership is one of the basic building blocks of our neighborhoods and our nation. At its best, it is a stable bond between an individual and society which creates a social and economic partnership between citizens. We encourage people to own property because the commitments they make to improving and profiting from their possessions provides benefits not only to themselves but also to their families and communities. Property ownership requires thinking beyond one's own immediate needs and providing for the future. It transforms a citizen from a non-stakeholder into an involved citizen who shares aspirations with his peers, and in doing so establishes a formal investment in the well-being of society. The fact that individuals who happen to be thieves want to share in this vital social institution is evidence that conservative ideals enjoy widespread acceptance. Conservatives should celebrate this, rather than lament it.
Hahaha, amazing. I see what you did there.
Also, why would I even have to worry about supporting something that should be none of the courts business anyway? Separation of church and state! Remember that? MARRIAGE is a religious thing, not a legal one, if they want to be legally hitched, that's fine, but they had better stay out of the church. Also, I think this should apply to people who are not religious, don't marry using a bible and a church if you don't believe in the entities behind them. Civil partnerships for anyone who has no religious connections.
Very clever. I think the difference is that thieves can help their behavior. Some here think that gays should be celibate and stop their behavior too, but pairing up for love is wired into us and we all do it.
I am not a proponent of gay marriage, but I would rather see gays living in conservative couples than in the wild, liberal boystowns in every major city in the nation. Remember all the innocents who died of AIDS due to tainted transfusions?
That part of Olson's argument I agree with. I'd like to encourage gays to be conservatives, vote with us, live with dignity, and be able to pursue happiness like we do.
Shades of G.K. Chesterton in your satire.
Compare this quote from The Man Who Was Thursday:
"We say that the dangerous criminal is the educated criminal. We say that the most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men; my heart goes out to them. They accept the essential ideal of man; they merely seek it wrongly. Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it. But philosophers dislike property as property; they wish to destroy the very idea of personal possession. Bigamists respect marriage, or they would not go through the highly ceremonial and even ritualistic formality of bigamy. But philosophers despise marriage as marriage. Murderers respect human life; they merely wish to attain a greater fulness of human life in themselves by the sacrifice of what seems to them to be lesser lives. But philosophers hate life itself, their own as much as other people's."

student sent me a video with a question, "what's going on here?"
the video showed 3 hives next to each other with about a foot of
space between. the hive on the left was APPARENTLY the strongest
of the 3...it had 3 honey supers on it.
bees were POURING OUT from the bottom entrance - many of them
crawling up the front vertically - only to amass...and fall to the ground.
(and seemingly the other hives were not effected)
i replied, "ROBBING" (4 pm in the afternoon)
he asked - what can i do? i replied - pretty much nothing...throw a sheet over it.
and reduce the entrances on the other hives!
which he did... the beekeeper and his family were leaving for a camping
trip and didn't have an immediate chance to go through the hive. when he came
back and went through the hive - he reported....
TOTAL LOSS - all the honey gone
MASSES of dead bees on the ground
....makes me want to tear into my own hives RIGHT NOW!!!!
EDITORS COMMENTS: This is fall. This time of year is definitely one of poor availability of nectar and pollen. Bees will rob neighboring hives to try to support their own populations. Any weakness is exploited. The Italian strain of bees is especially known for this. In this particular case it appears hive beetles have weakened a previously strong hive. It neighbors commenced to rob it. This usually results in enormous battles to the death inside the hive.as the hive bees defend their winter food supply. What can you do? For weaker hives it is a good idea to re-install the entrance reducer with the 4-5 inch wide entrance in position. This lessens the width of entrance the guard bees need to cover. .If you see a lot of wax flakes at the hive entrance robbing is probably occurring as the robber bees decap the stored honey. Another tip off is a huge increase in flight activity at a hive entrance. Compare activity between hives. The one with the most activity is probably being robbed.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
This modern, humanistic therapy is based on the belief that we already have within us everything that we need in terms of personal resources to achieve our own objectives within our own individual "model" of the world in which we exist. NLP is designed to help us find, recognise and build upon those resources to achieve a better, more complete way of living for ourselves within our own world "model".
By changing our perceptions of ourselves and our abilities, of the people around us and the meaning of their behaviour we can change the way in which we and our world interact to a more positive and rewarding "model". Great use is made of visualisation and the understanding of "non verbal communication", or body language as we more commonly refer to it as, and the use of language patterns to achieve greater understanding and acceptance in communication with others. By changing our perceptions, we change the way we behave and thereby change the way that the world around us reacts to us. A more structured form of this therapy is known as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Personal performance planning
Great use is made of NLP techniques in life-planning exercises in terms of setting well defined targets based upon prioritisation of all aspects of an integrated lifestyle. Mental exercises can also provide positive "triggers" for the implementation of positive attitudes and these, along with visualisation exercises, are often used by athletes to enhance competitive performance. More simply, such techniques can also be used in every day life to control behaviour such as anxiety or temper outbursts occurring in frustrating circumstances.
Negative aspects of past experiences can also be amended such that they no longer detract from a more positive approach to life. The challenging of outmoded belief systems within the individual plays a key role within NLP. Modelling of key items of behaviour of "role models" can also help in improving outlook and behaviour.
Overall NLP is an excellent, low key, system for effecting positive change thereby allowing the individual to operate nearer to their personal peak performance on a more continuous basis in all aspects of their life.

12 Minute Applesauce
My daughter LOVES homemade applesauce. Unfortunately, I don't always have the time to make it. So today, she really wanted applesauce for an afterschool snack, so we tried this experiment. And it worked! Now she can make her own homemade applesauce whenever she wants. Here's how we did it:
1) Core and cut 4 apples into small piece - she used our apple corer/slicer (the little handheld kind that cuts the apple into 8 wedge) and then cut each wedge into small pieces . . . we didn't bother to peel them.
2) Place the pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon over them. Add enough water or apple juice to cover the bottom, about 1/8-inch high.
3) Cover bowl, leaving a little opening for steam to escape. I used the lid for the bowl, but angled it so there was a small opening. Microwave on high for 10 minutes.
4) Mash apples with a fork. Taste and add sweetener if needed (our apples were quite tart, so we used just a little brown sugar, but maple syrup, stevia, agave, honey would work great too).
It was really, really good!

Today our back lawn was mowed for the first time. This may sound very insignificant but to think that in March 'gardening' consisted of hiring a guy with a huge JCB to effect some improvements I think we have come a hell of a long way! I sat and looked round tonight at the vibrant green lawn and the veg patch and I just felt so happy and content - as if one phase of the whole relocation/renovation thing is almost complete.
I was quite surprised at Hermione's enthusiasm this morning as she picked up an Explode the Code workbook and did a couple of pages not long after breakfast. I hadn't said anything - she just did it. There certainly is a love/hate thing going on with the workbooks. She then went on to add to the map which she started yesterday.
Hermione went to the TVHE meeting today. The theme was percussion. She made a shaker which she seemed quite pleased with. She had also spent quite some time there playing a game called 'Tumbling Monkeys' which is apparently like 'KerPlunk'. Talking of games, I thought I would try to pick up a 'Pass the Pigs' cheap on Ebay the other day. No such luck. They are not cheap and they sell fast. I'll have to keep looking.
This afternoon they headed off to Rainbows. I know I say this almost every week but it really is a big hit with both Hermione and Lily. They love it. I never get to hear much about what they have actually done but they always come home in high spirits and full of joy - which is great to see.
Miles is really busy these days too. He still prefers pottering at home to going out and about but I'm fine with that most of the time - apart from occasions like this afternoon when he tried to get into the rain water butt - that wasn't good! He's forever after the girls felt tip pens so I decided to buy him some big chubby crayons of his own and leave them accessible on the dining room floor with some paper. He's spending quite a bit of time 'drawing'. He's still very much into The Little Red Hen ladybird book too.
I mentioned yesterday that we played a new maths game with ladybirds. Well, basically it consists of two boards with leaves on, ten big mummy ladybird cards with 1 - 10 spots on and ten small baby ladybird cards with 1 - 10 spots on. Essentially the mummies and babies have to be matched up to make a total of ten.
