I am new to GIS and GPS. I am going to make a digital elevation model of my school's campus using a trimble gps unit. I know the accuracy is not the best but it is just for a school project.
My question is how exactly should I go about doing this? I went out in the field today and acquired a bunch of position points which have elevation (I set the gps to log my position every second). I made that trimble data file into a .shp file and put that into arcmap. I can view all of the points and the elevation in the attribute table.
How to I make a digital elevation model from this data? I tried doing raster interpolation like kriging and IDW but I am not really sure what I am doing. What is a TIN? I looked TIN up and apparently it uses Vector data? Shouldn't I just use my vector data?

One to watch: The Longines Skin Diver
With the release of another sleek heritage model, Longines is cleaning up in the retro watch stakes
Longines is on a roll. In the space of more or less a year, we've had the excellent Heritage 1945, the Heritage Military (that was unveiled just last month), and now this; the brand's first modern diver's watch – and the latest addition to its military collection.
It's called the Heritage Skin Diver, in homage to the original piece that inspired this new diver's clean looks. An original from 1959, Longines' first dive watch was introduced at a time when water sports were gaining mainstream popularity and ceasing to be the sole preserve of the elite. Consequently, the original Longines dive watch (which at the time mixed clean looks with an attractive price tag) was a serious hit among diving enthusiasts.
The modern Skin Diver holds a similar appeal. Clean lines, a well-balanced shape and cream Super-Luminova digits that pop against sober dial mark it out as a handsome thing, true to the original. Authentic '50s-cum-'60s details like the lume plots for the cardinal hours, and the black PVD-coated bezel also set it apart as a looker – a watch that, while practical, wouldn't seem out of place beneath the cuff of a dinner suit.
It also comes with a choice of three straps, to help your dress it for its intended environment. There's classic mid-brown leather for day-to-day wear, a black tropic rubber strap for beneath the waves, and a mesh steel bracelet to dress it up.
Aesthetics aside, it's also worth pausing to consider the movement. The Skin Diver's powered by Longines' precise L888 movement – an automatic with an impressive 64-hour power reserve – so you can be sure it'll keep running to time. And of course, it's water resistant to a healthy depth of 300 metres– a feat helped by its screw-in crown.
In short, there's nothing not to like, especially considering the watch's price – less than £2,000. Moreover, we do really like its looks. A diver's watch this might be, but it's sleek enough to be worn in any number of different ways. Whether you're into your water sports or not, this represents a smart buy.

KZUM has been selected as one of 10 public radio stations in the U.S. to participate in a new initiative that will provide professional training and financial support over the next year for the development of content, engagement and revenue strategies.
The Community Counts Initiative was announced Tuesday in a joint release from The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and The National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB). Participating stations will each receive $7,000, paid travel expenses and coaching from experts in public media, technology and nonprofit organizations as they work toward achieving goals set during their application process.
Funded by a $314,106 grant from CPB, the Community Counts Initiative is being implemented by NFCB — the country's largest professional advocacy and support organization for locally based public media. The project aims to assist rural stations in becoming more sustainable to serve their communities for years to come.
"With CPB's support, NFCB will provide training, mentorship and technical assistance to help strengthen these 10 stations' organizational capacities as well as diversify their revenue streams," the release said. "NFCB will also create toolkits and share best practices to help other small community broadcasters achieve long-term sustainability."
KZUM will be working to develop content that engages more diverse audiences in our area so that the station can better reflect the entire community. Through this initiative, the station hopes to establish practices to effectively recruit and train new producers to tell the stories of their communities. Distribution of this broadcast and web content will aim to help people from Lincoln to around the world better understand the cultural vibrance our city has to offer.
"This amazing opportunity from the CBP and NFCB gives our organization a chance to kick our mission into overdrive," said KZUM General Manager Kerry Semrad. "Through the Community Counts initiative, KZUM has the opportunity to empower our community to share stories and create programming that will not only promote what is unique and beautiful about our great city but reveal common threads that unite us as humans."
KZUM is working with participants from other stations, NFCB leadership and consultants in online meeting sessions through the end of the year. Beginning in early 2019, in-person planning and training will help stations begin working toward bringing their proposals to life.
Other stations chosen through the open Community Counts application process are: WTIP (Grand Marais, Minnesota), WERU (East Orland, Maine), WMMT (Whitesburg, Kentucky), WNCU (Durham, North Carolina), WXPR (Rhinelander, Wisconsin), KBFT (Nett Lake, Minnesota), KWSO (Warm Springs, Oregon), KTNA (Talkeetna, Alaska), and KRTS (Marfa, Texas).

Re: French Casual Honorifics gone?
I don't like my board telling me "vous", it's my beloved friend ! Seriously, I did update the Casual Honorifics from 3.0.7PL1 to the new version 3.0.8. And I now know why it's a burden to update several language styles ...
You can find attached the zip file containing the new "fr" language folder. Just unzip and overwrite your "/languages/fr" folder.
- if you don't use a "vanilla" version of phpbb3, I recommend you using a merging tool (like WinMerge) to update your files.
- I didn't provide the "/styles/proSilver/imageset/fr" and "/styles/subSilver2/imageset/fr" folders, because there is no "real" modification in it. Actually there is one, the phpBB version number in each "imageset.cfg" needs to be updated. But this you can update yourselves, download Maël's package and simply upload the two files.
- I copied the "Formal Honorifics 3.0.8" file headers in the new files, so there will be less differences with the future versions, even if we loose some headers infos. Maël, you're granted for my work ^^
- I corrected some typos. BTW there are still Casual Honorifics in the Formal 3.0.8, but can't remember where, sorry !
- Don't use my file if you don't know how, it's provided as is. I did take care, but a mistake is not excluded ! I tested it on my board, it's working, but you never know ...

If you will keep to maintain this language, send me a PM to be a translator here .
I could give you the updated French files before a phpBB release.

How to Build the Better Weight Loss SmoothiesHere are the six things you need, to create your own tasty healthy weight loss smoothies. [Tweet This]
Several smoothie recipes call for milk or fruit juice to create the right consistency. Stay away from the extra calories, replace them with tea, water, or ice.
A fruity, herbal tea is a great alternative for juice, e.g you can use:
A fruity, herbal tea is a great alternative for juice, e.g you can use:
|Blueberry Bliss Rooibos Tea by Teavana
Green tea has healthful nutrients, including a compound thought to help in weight loss, and it has a mild flavor.
- Tip: Enzo's Matcha Green Tea
Is one of the best green teas for both weight loss and smoothies, I highly recommend it and you will not be disappointed (it's also organic certified)
|Enzo's Matcha Green Tea
To get a consistency more like a shake, use ice.
Healthy fats:
Healthy fats are important to your overall health and keep you satiated for many hours. Denying fat totally is not a way to lose weight. You will only feel unsatisfied when you eat. Consuming ample healthy fat is actually a fundamental part of any weight loss plan. You can include healthy fats in your smoothies by adding coconut oil, avocado, or nuts and nut butter.
Lean protein:
Obtaining protein at every meal makes you maintain lean muscle mass, which means you burn more calories during the day. Your best bets: silken tofu, plain nonfat yogurt, or unflavored protein powder (Whey protein powders are the most advised).
In case you don't know which products are good to use:
-For Silken Tofu: MoriNu Silken Tofu
Pros: Low-Fat, Cholesterol free, No preservatives and Non-GMO
|Tofu Infographic
-For Whey Protein Powder: TGS Natural Whey Protein Powder
Pros: Low-Carb, Low-Calorie, Non-GMO, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free and No additives, fillers, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives.
High-fiber :
Blueberries and raspberries deliver the most fiber and the least amount of sugar. As for veggies, spinach and cucumber have the mildest, easiest-to-mask flavors.
Natural Sweeteners: Stevia
If the fruit you add to your weight loss smoothies is not enough sweetness for you, consider using natural sweeteners such as Stevia. This natural, zero-calorie sweetener is made from a plant and is free from the side effects of artificial sweeteners (I hate them).
The infographic below shows us the top 5 natural sweeteners that you can use, but I always prefer Stevia it's my favorite one.
Pulp from fruit:
In case you have a juicer, you know that besides the juice, you end up getting a pile of throw-away pulp. This is all of the fiber from the fruit and instead of throwing it out, you can add it to your smoothies for an all-natural source of fiber.
Ingredients for Weight Loss Smoothies
While most of the traditional ingredients in healthful smoothies support weight loss, some are much better than others. There are certain things you are able to put in your smoothie that will boost your weight loss by different means.
Any type of berry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry, add a lot of flavor to a smoothie without adding very many calories or sugar. In addition, they are high in fiber, which keeps you full, and high in antioxidants for your overall health.
Avocados are the most preferred weight loss smoothie thickener. They provide ample healthy fat, which will keep you satiated as well as satisfied until your next meal, and a multitude of health-promoting vitamins and minerals.
Chia seeds
They are loaded with fiber and protein which keeps you feeling full and satisfied, and they also contain many healthful nutrients like calcium, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids. They are also recognized to absorb toxins from your digestive tract.
Cayenne pepper
This spice not simply adds a kick to your weight loss smoothies, it also boosts your weight loss capability. The compound responsible is named Capsaicin. Research has revealed that putting it to breakfast reduces consumption of fat and carbohydrates later in the day. In other words, consuming cayenne pepper will curb your urge for food.
The popular spice helps regulate your blood sugar levels by improving your metabolism of glucose. This results in a diminution of the amount of excess blood glucose that can be stored as fat.
Coconut oil
The predominant fats –medium chain- in coconut oil are used by your body for energy, as opposed to being stored as fat. This super-food keeps you energized, satiated, and feeling good. Go with a natural virgin coconut oil for your weight loss smoothies, like the one below.
|Coconut Oil
Leafy greens
Greens, like kale, dandelion, spinach, and romaine lettuce, are loaded with phytonutrients and high in fiber. They are also low in calories.
Greek yogurt
Greek yogurt is much higher in protein than other varieties of yogurt. This means it can fill you up and keep you fuller longer.
Ingredients and mistakes to Avoid while making your weight loss smoothies[Tweet This]
A lot of people assume that any smoothie is a healthy option, but there are some ingredients and mistakes that should be avoided if you are using smoothies for weight loss. Keep reading to learn more.
Canned fruits or vegetables: Fresh fruits or veggies are always best, but when you can't find what you want, turn to frozen foods before cans. Canned fruits and vegetables usually have added preservatives or sweeteners that increase the amount of calories. They also have lost a significant amount of their nutritional value.
Dairy products like milk, frozen yogurt or ice cream are common ingredients in smoothies, but they are chock packed with extra calories. However, there are some exceptions, like raw milk and plain, full-fat Greek yogurt (high in protein and low in sugar) but most dairy must be avoided.
Also read: Do You Lose Weight When You Sleep?
Fruit juice
Juice is often full of sugar and calories and low in nutritional value, especially store-bought products. Many have added sweeteners, and all have lost the fiber of the whole fruit.
One tablespoon of honey or maple syrup will tack on over 60 extra calories. Added sweeteners are also found in fruit juice, sweetened milk, flavored yogurt and fruits canned with syrup. So avoid the extra sugars, and try with using plain yogurt and unsweetened soy or almond milk.
Too much sweet fruit
All, fresh fruits are good for you, and they are a natural way to add flavor and sweetness to your weight loss smoothies, but too much could be a problem. When you fill your blender using five different fruits or more, you could get a smoothie with more than 500 calories. Since fruits are rich in natural sugars, your body also metabolizes them quickly, leaving you with food cravings within an hour.

Will just for sure book a longer trip next time ;-) You will DEFINITELY hear from me (and maybe even him) again! Thank you for following up!
Warm regards,

Hi Natalie
Trust you are well. Just to keep you posted on our Trip to Rio Creole in Mauritius. This was the Best Trip Ever from the moment we arrived at hotel, to the minute we sadly had to leave. We stayed at the Riu Le Morne for adults only but had excess to all restaurants, there are about six to choose from. Their the food was outstanding, anything you could think of was there to eat and drink. There was lots to do every day; water sports, dancing , bingo, extra singing at different bars and shows every night with a disco. The staff was helpful and friendly at all times. We had an unforgettable time. We will definitely book with them again in the near future. Will recommend anybody to this resort.
Thank you again for making our dreams come true with this unforgettable holiday to Mauritius.
Kind regards,
- Mariaan Nienaber
Hi Natalie
It was a wonderful holiday thank you so much!!! We had the best time, and couldn't have asked for more for our honeymoon. We were in such a buzz, my wife left one of her bags there...so it is still on holiday at the hotel, lucky thing. We are trying to organise getting it back, no luck so far, but I will keep you posted. Just a side note, the Matourco guy Raj at the airport is a star, he was really helpful in the panic on the bag and spent time with us trying to help. If you speak to him say we are grateful for the help he could offer :) Thanks again, it really was great.
Kind regards
- Alan Steppe

Morning Carmen
Sorry to get back to you a little late after returning from our holiday a week ago! We were still a bit dizzy after the awesome time we had in Thailand - all thanks to you!!!! The package deal you organized was worth more than we could have ever imagined or expected… ..We are sooo soo so looking forward to utilising your services again. There's nothing specific to point out because we had heavenly flights coupled with extraordinary hospitality that we never thought we could ever be exposed to. More especially we just want to thank for your ensuring we had all our ducks in a row before the travel and at our destination. Regardless to say, the experience has just encouraged us to plan at least one or two international trips every two years, depending on the busy schedules due to work and of course in some other instances when we would prefer just travelling around Africa for a change. If it weren't for work or financial factors it would definitely be another story - it would probably be travel time all the time!!! Once again thank you so much Carmen, you'll undoubtedly be hearing from us. Please send this email to your superiors as they ought to know how happy you've made our travel and how unwary you've made us for future travels we will be embarking on (alternatively inform us of any forms we may be able to rate you). Your efforts were simply amazing-I cannot repeat it enough. You're such a Godsend, looking forward to booking our next holiday through you and your agency!!!
P.S.We have referred some of our friends who showed interest, so don't be surprised if you get calls and emails etc. Enjoy your day and God bless!
- Purity and Nozipho Zungu

Beachcomber Trou Aux Biches is an amazing resort. Having six restaurants to choose from and all being included in the package is really nice.

We were also very happy with the room that we had. The snorkelling was spectacular and we made the most of the water sports. This holiday was everything we wanted and more. I would gladly recommend Beachcomber Trou Aux Biches. Once again, thank you for your professionalism and excellent service.

Singapore was purely AMAZING...thank you so much for your help. The hotel location was perfect! I could walk to the conference and a lot of surrounding attractions. The staff at the hotel was so helpful and patient. The room was beautiful too. They also had a handy phone that I could use outside of the hotel for unlimited internet access - that's what helped me explore the city fearlessly. My favourite place was Sentosa Island and would recommend it to anyone who visits Singapore.
Thanks again Natalie (so so much)

We had a view of the sunset in the evening and were protected from the wind during the day. It really couldn't have been better and we were so happy.

The world is still dependent on natural gas as one of the essential source of generating power for years to come. Cost effective and promptly accessible, it presently reports in excess of 30 percent of the total electricity generation of US and about 22 percent of electricity generation of world. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that it is cleaner than that of coal, it's yet an enormous source of emission of carbon.
With the developing focus behind the progress to a low-carbon economy, banks and financial investors are lining up with Paris Agreement and requesting more straightforwardness from providers of energy on how they are preparing for the transition of low-carbon and renewable sources. Companies dealing in energy currently have the choice to adjust with the new standard and change by themselves as the companies with low-carbon transition in the years to come or not adjust and proceed as they seem to be. These energy companies are facing the test of how to anchor prosperity for long –term of their company while doing their duty to deliver techniques that are safe for climate for production of energy.
Technological Advancement
If considering the base level, these advancements are not totally progressive, they are basically developed combining existing systems of various technologies to make what would then be able to be portrayed as a progressive methods for taking care of carbon emission. Furthermore, it is one exceptionally welcomed advancement when the carbon footprint or world is considered.
The advancement has been working effectively on a model developed at the lab-level which is a 250-kW plant demonstration that is illustrative of 1/1000 of ordinary 250-MW plant. The positive news is on the grounds that the innovation on which it subsists is secluded in nature, scaling their smaller than expected outline up to extents of real-world shouldn't be quite a bit of a problem. The ETA for advancement for real-world and utilize is "a couple of years."
Sustainability of Zero-Carbon Natural Gas
The Zero-carbon natural gas, stances of having a encouraging future, yet in the event that production of energy has shown us anything, is that it won't be the end of all, be all to the problem of energy. Rather, it is an invited introduction to the advancements being summoned to take care of the issues of energy. The vital segment of the worldwide drive to lessen carbon emissions is elective source of fluid and gaseous fuels. Numerous strategies are being researched and advance is quickly drawing nearer. There are still some who trust we will have the capability to successfully restore generation of thermal fossil by 2050.
Update about Technology
Net Power is a coordinated effort between innovation advancement firm Exelon Generation, 8 Rivers Capital, and firm of energy construction CB&I. The organization is setting up the plant and has started primary testing. It expects to publish results from the early assessments in the months to come.

There's nothing I love more than getting away from it all, sometimes that means being swept away in the exciting culture of a European city or even further afield but sometimes it's nice to keep it simple. As a child I went on countless camping trips and made so many amazing memories with my brothers. We thrived in the fresh and freedom so I'm really glad that camping is something I can now enjoy with Luisa.
This year we're working with Millets as part of their Outdoor Explorer team. They've kindly sent us a new tent so we can be even more comfortable on our trips and share what we get up to with you. Over the Father's Day weekend we had our first camp of the season, we're also heading to the south of Ireland very soon and a festival in August so stay tuned for tips and mishaps!
I'll be the first to admit there are challenges that come with camping, especially with small people in tow. There may be more insects that you'd like, the weather won't always be on your side but the good times make up for it all. Much like parenting in general actually…
Here are my top five reasons why your family should give camping a chance:
- There's no wifi in the woods. Not strictly true but there certainly doesn't have to be wifi in the woods. Camping is the perfect opportunity to unplug a little and give the tech a rest.
- Time moves slower. Without the distractions of the doorbell, work, TV, errands and other everyday pressures you have SO much time to chill and enjoy the little things. Like looking for ladybirds, riding bikes, finding shapes in clouds… cracking open a 'gin in a tin'.
- It's really good value for money. Most of the campsites we've researched for upcoming trips charge around £15 a night for a pitch, this is a lot cheaper than self catering or a hotel break!
- Camping is a team sport. From pitching the tent, to collecting firewood or choosing which way to turn on a trail – every member of your family can contribute to a decision or lend a hand physically. It doesn't matter how small or slow they are, adjust the pace and work together.
- Fresh air is exhausting, in a good way. After a day of running around and exploring with very few boundaries or rules your children will sleep like logs.
If you've never been much of a camper I hope some of these reasons have made you reconsider. Be sure to check out my Instagram over the summer for more tips on how to make camping with kids fun and easy.

Man's Final Facebook Post Before His Tragic Death Will Give You Chills
For better or for worse, living in the digital age means leaving behind an echo of yourself online when you die.
Matthew DeRemer, 31, was killed in Largo, Florida when he was hit on his motorcycle by a drunk driver on New Year's Eve.
But the Facebook status and photo he posted earlier that day are haunting.
Like many of us do, Matthew took a moment on New Year's Eve reflect on where the year had taken him, but in the face of his tragic death, the passage holds so much more weight.
He wrote,
BRING ON 2016, much works to be done! And I really don't know where I'll end up tonight but I do know where I windup is where I'm meant to be.
RIP Matthew DeRemer, and may 2016 bring you peace.

Harvest Festival
Aww…the coziest time of year is upon us. We are slowly acclimating to the darkness, rain, and cold with warm thoughts of the holidays approaching. My friends and I have an annual tradition of spending time together enjoying the transition by having a Harvest Party in Central Oregon. This weekend we pressed apples into cider, ate hearty soups, drank pumpkin beer, made an apple and pear crumble and went for long walks with our dogs. It was also an extra-special year of dressing-up Francie in her Halloween costume as an owl.

I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?
~ Psalm 56:11 [NLT]
Trusting in God puts your heart at ease because you no longer have to worry. Placing your faith in Him relieves all doubt and uncertainty about the future. Do not be afraid of what other people may do. The effects of their actions are temporary in comparison to spending eternity with God.

Researchers find reducing sedentary time especially for those with risk factors of diabetes mellitus
Past studies have linked sitting for long periods of time with numerous negative health outcomes. Just last year researchers from the University of Leicester had revealed women who spend extended periods of time everyday are more likely to develop diabetes. Now, the University of Leicester has found in a new study for those who are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes would significantly benefit in reducing their risk from getting up and moving around instead of just exercising. According to researchers just ninety minutes less a day in the sitting position could result in vital health benefits.
Currently for those who are at risk for diabetes the American Diabetes Association recommends a minimum of 150 minutes each week of moderate-intensity physical activity (50 – 70% of maximum heart rate) or at least 90 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic exercise (more than 70% of maximum heart rate.
Now a new study suggests that those who are at high risk should be advised to reduce their sedentary time (time spent moving very little or not at all, for example sitting or lying down), led by Joseph Henson and colleagues from the Diabetes Research Unit, University of Leicester and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Leicester Loughborough Diet, Lifestyle and Physical Activity Biomedical Research Unit (BRU), UK., and colleagues.
Over the last decade, sedentary behavior has emerged as a distinctive behavioral standard with detrimental effects on chronic disease risk, independent of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity, according to the researchers.
Traditionally, epidemiological evidence examining the effect of sedentary time on health has tended to focus on
Self-report measures, but these are prone to bias and have poor levels of validity, according to the study's abstract.
For this study researchers used combined baseline data from two prevention studies, the Walking Away from Diabetes study (average age 64 and 65% men) and Project Stand (Sedentary Time and Diabetes study, average age 33 and 29% men. Individuals were unaware of their diabetes risk status before entering the two studies, and all participants were excluded if they had known type 2 diabetes mellitus or were taking steroids.
The research team examined the extent to which sedentary time; breaks in sedentary time, MVPA and total physical activity were independently associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in a population with known risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Accelerometers were used to assess sedentary time, MVPA, and total physical activity. Breaks in sedentary time were defined as a transition from a sedentary to an active state.
The researchers found for those patients with known risk factors for type 2 diabetes, sedentary time was unfavorably linked with 2 h glucose, triacylglycerol and HDL-cholesterol, independent of measured confounders. These results remained significant after further adjustment for MVPA and adiposity.
These results remained across groups with diverse age ranges, providing evidence that the negative consequences of excess sedentary time exist across young to old adults.
However, sedentary time was shown to have stronger associations with several important cardio metabolic markers (2 h glucose, triacylglycerol and HDL-cholesterol) compared with total physical activity and MVPA, after adjustment for each other and other important confounders.
The researchers write "In conclusion, the findings from this study may have important methodological and public health implications. This study provides novel objective evidence that, in individuals high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, sedentary time may be a more important indicator of cardio metabolic health than MVPA. This may raise questions regarding the prescription of optimal daily human movement for health. As such, diabetes and cardiovascular prevention programs concentrate in solely on MVPA may overlook an area that is of fundamental importance to cardio metabolic health.
The researchers note that along with the recommendation of 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity those interventions may be more effective if patients are further encouraged to simply sit less more and more, regardless of the intensity level of physical activity.
"This approach requires a paradigm shift, so that individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes think about the balance of sedentary behavior and physical activity throughout the day," stated Henson.
This study is published in Diabetologia (The journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes).

We have a few ideas for using our Tubes today... First up is Tanya Tahir with a pair of adorable thank-you tubes that she filled with marshmallows. Tags with chipboard, hand-rolled flowers, and SRM Thank You stickers finish off her sweet little Tubes.
You can view/purchase our Tubes and Wands, HERE. We make gobs of Thank-You stickers that you can see, HERE!
Renee Morris-Dezember found yet another way to use our Tubes for scrappy storage. Here's what she says; "In my scraproom I like to have things organized but with scrap stuff there's always TONS of little items EVERYWHERE. I use LOTS of baskets when it comes to organizing but I found that I was still having a hard time finding things. Then I discovered the TUBES and they are perfect for storing my scrapbook supplies. Here I just have some of my buttons - my doodlebug boutique buttons and my vintage glass buttons. By placing the tubes inside my baskets, everything is perfectly organized and I know how to find each color! I did the same thing with my doodlebug crushed velvet flock. I placed the little flock jars inside the TUBE and then tucked them inside my basket. Now they will never be misplaced again!"
Still looking for Back-To-School project inspiration? Join us tomorrow to see what Rae Barthel's been up to!

Laparoscopic hysterectomy: removal of a large (1300g) uterus
Epublication WebSurg.com, Dec 2010;10(12). URL: http://websurg.com/doi/vd01en3128
Some believe that laparoscopy is almost impossible to perform in cases of very big uterus or large adnexal masses that obstruct our view to the pelvis. However, if the same surgical steps are always followed and a specific strategy is determined, it is feasible and safe to choose laparoscopy even in the case of large organs. In this video, we present the case of a 45-year-old patient with a large fibromatous uterus, suffering from abdominal discomfort and bleeding. The patient was anemic and decision was made to perform a laparoscopic total hysterectomy. With the appropriate surgical steps and some safety tips, the operation took place quickly and with success. The weight of the specimen was 1300g.

EPL: Leicester beats Tottenham; Howard, Everton hold Manchester City
LONDON (AP) — Robert Huth reignited Leicester's astonishing Premier League title charge with a rare goal securing a 1-0 victory over challenger Tottenham on Wednesday.
With Arsenal held 3-3 at Liverpool, Leicester moved level on points with the London leader by ending a three-game winless run.
And a Leicester team that was battling relegation last season is now eight points clear of fifth place and primed for a first-ever qualification for the Champions League.
Fourth-place Tottenham had only lost two games—like Leicester—before their top-four faceoff at White Hart Lane.
But Huth powered in a header in the 83rd minute to end Leicester's six-hour, 14-minute search for a league goal.
Elsewhere in the Premier League on Wednesday:
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City stayed third in the Premier League after a goalless draw with Everton on Wednesday.
Manuel Pellegrini's City side appealed for a late penalty after Raheem Sterling went down under a John Stones challenge but nothing was given.
After a tame start, Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard had to push away a Yaya Toure header before Gerard Deulofeu forced City keeper Joe Hart to save his angled shot.
Everton's Leon Osman volleyed just past the post from Romelu Lukaku's cross, with the pair then trading passes - with Lukaku missing the target.
City dominated the second half, but Howard was on top form.
The United States keeper twice denied Sergio Aguero and thwarted Sterling's effort with his foot, booting away Kevin de Bruyne's low cross as City applied more pressure.
LONDON (AP) — Chelsea remained unbeaten under new coach Guus Hiddink after conceding a late equalizer to draw 2-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Unmissable with a protective black mask, Cesar Azpilicueta put Chelsea ahead after 20 minutes, turning in a low cross from Branislav Ivanovic.
West Brom hit back and was rewarded with an equalizer when Chelsea gave the ball away and Craig Gardner fired home from 25 yards (meters) in the 33rd minute.
Chelsea's pressure paid off in the 73rd minute when West Brom's Gareth McAuley turned the ball into his own net as he tried to intercept a low cross by Willian.
But victory slipped through Chelsea's grasp at the end, when James McClean pounced to score an equalizer in the 86th minute.
STOKE, England (AP) — Stoke moved up to seventh in the Premier League on Wednesday after a 3-1 win over Norwich, which had to play for an hour with 10 men.
Gary O'Neil hacked down Stoke's Ibrahim Affellay for a straight red card after 31 minutes.
Jon Walters struck four minutes into the second half when he slid in at the far post to slot Marko Arnautovic's cross into the net.
Norwich was level six minutes later when Jonny Howson fired a fierce shot into the roof of the net.
The hosts retook the lead after 67 minutes through Joselu who hit a low shot through the legs of defender Ryan Bennett.
Mark Hughes' side got their third after 78 when Bennett turned Afellay's free-kick into his own goal.
SWANSEA, Wales (AP) — Jermain Defoe scored a hat trick as Sunderland swept to a 4-2 victory over 10-man Swansea in a Premier League relegation scrap on Wednesday.
Sunderland made an ideal start, with striker Defoe scoring after just three minutes.
Swansea equalized in the 21st minute when Gylfi Sigurdsson converted a penalty, but was reduced to 10 men in the 37th after a red card for Kyle Naughton.
The setback didn't prevent Andre Ayew from putting the host ahead just three minutes later.
However, Sunderland needed only four minutes after the restart to level, with defender Patrick van Aanholt cutting inside before smacking a shot into the top corner.
Adam Johnson put Defoe through for his second goal just after the hour mark and the forward rounded off the scoring in the 85th.
SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Southampton secured only its second Premier League win in nine games by beating Watford 2-0 courtesy of goals by Shane Long and Dusan Tadic on Wednesday.
Long, starting up front ahead of Graziano Pelle, put Southampton in front with a header from Matt Targett's cross in the 17th minute.
Tadic came on as a substitute in the 71st and doubled Southampton's lead two minutes later, running into Watford's penalty area, creating some space for himself and finishing low beyond goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
Watford was outplayed at St. Mary's Stadium, with its in-form strike pairing of Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney kept in check.
