Thrifting with kids
26 comments:
def LOVE all the hat pics!!!ReplyDelete
and those curly shoe strings are the best!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier; I was excited to find yours! Great finds...and so nice to start the kiddos on the thrifting habit early. ;)ReplyDelete
Sweet deals! I got quite a few things for Ruby the other day for only 5. Our SA does 50% off clothes (of certain tag colors) every Wednesday. The place is always packed!ReplyDelete
What amazing finds! The thrift stores (charity shops) in this country don't ever seem to sell such lovely things, unless of course they get snapped up straight away! I love the H&M dress! We actually manage to get some fantastic bargains in H&M at Sale times!ReplyDeleteReplies
It is amazing how different the offerings are from place to place, even from one city to the next town. I have to hit the stores in my sister's city next and see what I can get. I am shocked by some of the vintage things people get at thrift stores. Ours seem to be mostly newer items.Delete
I used to get some fantastic clothes when I was in my teens! That was before "vintage" took off. My grandmother also kept all her clothes - lucky for me, I had so many fantastic 20s silk blouses, skirts and suit jackets but I wore them out :(Delete
I still have one dress which I gave my daughter, a black Summer frock with brightly coloured flour border around the bottom and around the capped short sleeves, it's awesome (even though a little faded now).
How great that you were able to make use of your grandmother's clothes! The dress sounds lovely, Vicky. My mom had some clothes left, but they are not my size. I wore some of her coats when I was younger.Delete
Nice finds and the hat pics are sooo fun. Looks like they had fun. I also bring my daughter and she has developed an eye for things too- sometimes I do worry that I buy her things too easily since prices can be so cheap. I guess everything in moderation. her H&M dress is very cute.ReplyDelete
soooooooooo cute cliks..love it..;)ReplyDelete
Tasty Appetite
Great finds, fantastic stuff! Thanks for visiting me and for your nice comment :)ReplyDelete
Great finds! My daughter loves to come along with me and search for "treasures". :)ReplyDelete
Such cute kiddos, and great finds!ReplyDelete
That is great that your kiddos love to come along. They can pick up tons of neat things for the price of one item at a regular store. Great job! Thanks for linking up at Cap Creations, love having you.ReplyDelete
Your kids are super cute! Great finds - now I want a paper mache dino making kit! (too cool!) :)ReplyDelete
great to get the kids thinking about thrifting...they will soon realize a dollar goes a lot further in a thrift shop! =) some great clothes!ReplyDelete

Asa Mi Tasa Mi - Makarand Anaspure plays the role of protagonist. Mohan is a simple villager who works with his family in the village hospital. He is an exceptionally gifted man just not where looks are concerned. To utilize this gift he has to change his appearance which happens accidentally. Mohan rebels against society and takes a stand against the prevalent system and norms to prove his point. This film revolves around him and his villagers and also highlight todays human tendency of giving more importance to the shallow side of life like fame and fortune as opposed to basic humanity.

Costume card - shirt worn by Tim Speedle in the episode Lost Son (that button really sticks out)
Auto of Boti Bliss asa Valera
Sketch of Horatio by Carolyn Edwards
Binder cards - the costume card is only in a limited number of binders. Also got a preview set (997/999) for the series 2 card set.

Congrats on the button card,thats a great varient .Hope to get mine next week as I was a bit late ordering.
I had a look at my Series 1 auto's and both the cards you have are quite different to the ones I have.
Your Boti Bliss signature is both larger and shakier than the small neat signature I have.The Khandi Alexander I have is a much fuller signature compared to yours.Very similar to how Sean Bean's auto in the LOTR releases deteriorated as time went on.
|Gold Card Talk Member
Congrats on the great pulls. I ordered a box today so fingers crossed it'll arrive later this week.
Same here for the Botti Bliss auto my series one card is smaller and neater as well.
"No time like the present to change the future"
|Gold Card Talk Member
I didn't check my autos from the first set but it doesn't surprise me. It must get tiring after a while.
I was told that the numbered card I have down as a binder card is actually a box topper that didn't get included in the boxes. This explains why I had 2 in the binder numbered 4 and 5 - those are the numbers of my 2 boxes.
|Gold Card Talk Member
My box arrived this morning:
Box #2453
I.D.Badges: 1,2,6
Auto: MI-B5 Khandi Alexander
Costume: CSIMS2-C1 Quicksilver T-Shirt worn by Tony Hawk (All Grey)
Script Contest Card: 1
All in all a good box,I was hoping for a sketch but I'm going to pick up a box or two at the November shows so fingers crossed.This message has been edited. Last edited by: AJJ,
"No time like the present to change the future"
|Gold Card Talk Member
My case arrived this morning .Hope I'm still dancing after I have opened it.
My boxes are numbered 2467 to 2484 making it the last full case in the print run.Hope this does not mean I get redemptions like I did with Dr Who Monochrome where I also had one of the last cases.
Box 2467 had one base set,I.D. cards 4 and 5,auto MI-B2 Adam Rodriguez and costume card C1 Tony Hawk plain grey .
Card 71 lists the production run numbers for the costume cards C1/425, C2/500, C3/500, C4/425, C5/350, a total of 2200. Either they have not all been put in the packs,there are far fewer sketches than previously thought, or best case scenario there are boxes with both a sketch and a costume.
Will update as I go through the boxes.
|Gold Card Talk Member
Box 2468 3 I.D. cards, Hodges sketch, Togo auto
Box 2470 3 I.D. cards, Harris sketch, No auto .
Box 2472 2 I.D.cards, C2 costume, Milos auto.
Going to have an awful lot of base cards left over.Every box has had one set and then about half of a second set of 72 and and multiple third and fourth duplicates.Collation not great.
|Gold Card Talk Member
Box 2469 2 I.D. cards, C1 costume , Proctor auto .
Box 2471 2 I.D. cards, C3 Costume, Proctor auto.
The Emily Proctor auto cards are both signed at the bottom of the card rather than in the space on the right like all the others.Not that good as it makes the signature difficult to see against the dark blue background.
so you got 2 sketch cards out of 5 boxes????
|Diamond Card Talk Member
The breakdown is about 7 sketches per 18 box case (1000 sketches/2500 boxes on advertising) so 2 out of 5 is 40%, spot-on ratio so farThis message has been edited. Last edited by: hammer,
|Gold Card Talk Member
Finished opening the rest of the case,probably the most depressing box opening experience I have had since Harry Potter POA Update .
As I said in my first post I hoped I was still dancing after the cards.Sadly the only dancing was on the empty boxes in frustration .
Every box had either 2 or 3 I.D. cards so I won't bother to list them antmore.
Box 2475 S3 C1 costume,Bliss auto.
2478 C3 costume, Milos auto.
2473 C3 costume, Bliss auto.
2474 S3 C1 costume,Rodriguez auto.
2476 C1 costume, Alexander auto.
2477 C2 costume, Bliss auto.
2479 Hodges sketch, Bliss auto.
2480 S3 C1 costume, Rodriguez auto.
2481 C1 costume, Bliss auto.
2482 C2 costume, Rodriguez auto.
2483 S3 C2 costume, Caruso auto.
2484 Pagarigan xketch, Milos auto.
Totals CSIS2-C1 x 4
CSIS2-C2 x 3
CSIS2-C3 x 3
CSIS3-C1 x 3
CSIS3-C2 x 1.
Autos B1 x 1
B2 x 4
B3 x 3
B4 x 2
B5 x 1
B6 x 1
B7 x 5
One box missing an auto.
4 sketches of varying quality from "very good" to "I could have done that".
I had a bad feeling when I saw this was the last full case and unfortunately was proved correct.Dr.Who monochrome was the same with lower numbered boxes generally getting the lions share of the quality sketches.
I don't like to moan because I have always liked Strictjy Ink's products but the hype and the sell sheet figures led me to expect rather more than I got .
OK that ratio makes sense. You listed you got 4 sketch cards. Harris, Hodges, and a Pagarigan...who was the 4th? Or did you get 2 Hodges???
Did everyone's scanner break at the same time? Where are the images?
|Diamond Card Talk Member
4 sketch cards is way below the odds stated in advertisingThis message has been edited. Last edited by: hammer,
|Gold Card Talk Member
It says one auto and either a sketch or a costume card per box. I can't see any other odds regarding sketch cards.
Most of the artists seem to have done 50 cards with a few having done 25 and one having done 100. There are no numbers against 3 artists.
If anyone gets any sketch cards could they please post scans? I would love to see what you got.
|Gold Card Talk Member
Here's what my auto and costume look like.
"No time like the present to change the future"
|Diamond Card Talk Member
Quite right - it was it the advertising sent out by SI
"There are almost 1000 Hand Drawn Sketch Cards inserted across the print run of 2,500 Boxes and these have been drawn by 20 different artists, the best in this field and on average no artist has drawn more than 25 sketch cards"
|Bronze Card Talk Member
Drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested in letting go of some of your extra autographs.
Check out my Trade List Apr 16.09: http://nonsportupdate.infopop....&r=37010938#37010938
I did 125 sketches for this release. Didn't even have time to scan most of them.

I am a LV chair yoga teacherWednesday, June 19th, 2013
My Carrie Writes Column printed in the Republican 6/19/13
I'm very excited to announce that I'm officially a chair yoga teacher, one of my greatest accomplishments. I was certified by the Lakshmi Voelker chair yoga program. I took the certification class over Skype from my living room. It consisted of six video classes, along with self-study. I learned chair asanas such as salutations, warrior series, balance poses. I also learned breathing techniques, meditations and yoga philosophy.
Chair yoga is the adaption of yoga poses to be used in a chair to help minimize limitations and inflexibility for those facing physical challenges. Chair yoga also incorporates breathing techniques to calm and heal the mind and body. Chair yoga is perfect for those with disabilities and health challenges. The belief is that any pose any pose can be adapted to each individuals' needs, bringing the full benefit of yoga practice while creating a safe haven for their minds and bodies.
Lakshmi created the chair yoga program in 1982. She is dedicated to creating a yoga practice for anyone to use with modifications. She has brought a way of exercise to those who are unable to do physical exercises. In 1999, she created a Sitting Mountain Series CD, and in 2007 she produced her own chair yoga DVD. Lakshmi has been studying, practicing and teaching yoga since 1969. She is a certified instructor at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge and is a member of the Yoga Alliance. She has certified many individuals across the United States and Canada.
In conclusion, it is my goal to bring Lakshmi's teachings to individuals across Western Massachusetts to help spread the joy of yoga to individuals with physical limitations like myself. I am beyond overjoyed to be able to share my passion in a teaching manner. I will be combining my roles as a teacher, columnist and activist with the same purpose of helping and inspiring people with disabilities. Please visit my chair yoga page on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/carriechairyoga , and Lakshmi's web page is http://www.getfitwhereyousit.com .

Communication is always complex. No matter whether it's about content being conveyed between two individuals or a symphony being rehearsed and performed by an orchestra, listening to one another is always what it's all about. Making music together in an ensemble as large as an orchestra brings with it numerous challenges and requires flexibility, the ability to work in a team, and the willingness to engage with each other.
In this issue's Special, you can read about what it takes to be an orchestral musician and how people prepare for orchestra auditions, as well as about how the mdw trains future orchestral musicians and the importance of youth orchestras' contributions in this fi eld. What's more, we've taken a look back at 50 years of the Vienna RSO and asked what projects this orchestra has planned for its jubilee year.
Articles from this Special
"Orchestral playing is probably the most complex form of communication in which human beings can engage."

Friday the 13th when we started talking about going on road trip to see the 2015 Guinness World records – The Largest Carpet of Flowers in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The Flower festival was opened to the public Feb. 9 ,2015. A week after ,there was no available car to take us all and surprise! the Festival got extended to March 1 , lucky us 🙂 My friend got his new car and off we went ..336 Km from Jeddah to Yanbu – 3 hrs and 12 minutes. And another lucky day for us, we were under the care of a very hospitable friends of friends 🙂 we arrived in Yanbu just in time to have lunch.
Yanbu al Bahr "spring by the sea" is simply called Yanbu, a very clean and well organised road of Al Madinah western province of Saudi Arabia.After lunch, we went around china harbour (I don't have an idea about the name) why not yanbu harbour?
The 9th Flower Festival in Yanbu started Feb 9 – 24 but extended until March 1. I am not sure what time it opens regular days but every Friday it opens at 4pm, there's no entrance fee, it is open for the public. Again, there was no brochure and I noticed there was no sign or card names to identify what kind of flowers was planted. However, It is fascinating to note, this is a dessert and to grow flowers like that is really amazing!
World's largest carpet of flowers – 10712.75 sqm(s) created by Royal Commission landscaping and Irrigation Department, Yanbu Saudi Arabia – officially Amazing!
look at the smiles 🙂
there were also souvenirs for sale ,fresh flowers and plants and a place to buy foods and drinks after a long walk .
A close up look of the flowers 🙂 Enjoy!
A very rewarding day!

Kopp Disclosure
(John 3:19-21)
"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
perceived that they were uneducated, common men,
they were astonished. And they recognized that
they had been with Jesus."
I have mourned, confessed, and prayed/tried to repent from my sin in the booth during the last election for POTUS.
Convinced neither candidate really intended to honor Jesus by the book, I decided to vote for the lesser of two evils.
As I left the voting booth early that November morning, it dawned on me: "Voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil."
Whether you agree with my inspiration/indigestion, the Biblical maxim is true.
We are either for Jesus or not for Jesus in every thought, decision, and action.
We are either honoring Him by the book or we are not honoring Him by the book; except, of course, when it comes to stuff that some trivialists will mention to distract us from the point.
Anyway, once to every woman/man and nation/church comes the moment to decide...
Uh, declare!
I think of the bravehearted elder and lawyer who confronted one of the most shamelessly aggressive eisegetes that I'd ever witnessed during a special presbytery meeting after the dude rationalized the abominations of an increasingly apostate denomination and said, in effect, we gots ta compromise on the Word every now and then to get along with the culture: "The Jesus I know of the New Testament wasn't very compromising."
The proverbial father of the Confessing Church Movement comes to mind as he said this to one of those fainthearted clergy types who love the perks, pleasures, vocational securities, and other temporal niceties that come to 'em by accommodating the infidelities of those who provide 'em after the silly guy claimed having, at least, polity in common: "If we don't have Jesus and the Bible in common, we have nothing in common!"
Ah, let Him speak for Himself: "No one gets to the Father except through Me."
Unless you're a really, really, really good eisegete, ain't no place in the Bible that you find Him pretending good and evil have anything in common.
He also has some tough to damning things to say especially to clergy about choosing cultural accommodations over Him; but, of course, if you're one of 'em, you've already deleted that from your holy book in a rationalizing Jeffersonian kinda way.
That's why remnant isn't the majority...yet...in a Philippians 2:9-11 kinda way.
Quick hit.
I'm convinced cultural accommodators don't really believe Jesus has the keys to eternal life.
For if they did,...
If I have to explain that to you,...
Accommodators remind me of Procter and Gamble's Swash: "targeted to Gen Yers who tend to re-wear their clothes rather than wash them after every use."
Swash will "fresh it up, smooth it out, steam it out, and get it out."
In other words, Swash neutralizes the odors for a while that won't really go away without a good washing.
Reminds me of a, uh, friend when I was studying in Germany who applied lots of perfume to try to convince me that she bathed more often than weekly.
Once we got a little closer if you know what I mean, she still smelled badly.
No amount of perfume could cover up the stink just below the surface.
Catch the metaphor?
Unless there's some real cleaning up via confession and repentance with Jesus by the book as focus and filter, the stink's gonna remain and get worse.
Remnant tells the truth about pewsitters and pulpiteers and frachisers who try to cover up their stinkiness with rationalizing and accommodating and increasingly apostate perfumes.
Remnant washes not swashes.
Blessings and Love!

Dana Claxton: Buffalo Bone China
23 May 2009 – 13 September 2009
Dana Claxton Buffalo Bone China, 1997
Buffalo Bone China (1997) is an experimental video that metaphorically recalls First Nations peoples' loss of the buffalo and the historical use of buffalo bone to make fine china.
Specifically the work refers to British colonial practices that resulted in the decimation of the buffalo, and the devastating effects upon First Nations people who relied heavily on the buffalo for their survival. Buffalo bones were gathered into huge piles on the prairie and some bones were exported to England to be used in the production of fine bone china.
Dana Claxton was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan and is a member of the Hunkpapa Lakota Nation. She is a curator and an interdisciplinary artist whose challenging works have strong political messages. Her work includes film and video, installation, performance and photography. She has exhibited her work in prominent galleries across North America and is held in public collections, including the Vancouver Art Gallery, Winnipeg Art Gallery and the Canada Council Art Bank of Canada. Her work has been screened internationally, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis). Her work has also been screened at Sundance Festival and Microwave in Hong Kong. She currently resides in Vancouver.

Ecopath: Who's Eating Whom?
Ecopath was originally designed in the early 1980s by Dr. Jeffrey Polovina as a marine ecosystem model. The name is intended to convey ecological pathways, or the ability to identify relationships and model complex marine ecosystems. Ecopath uses path analysis to calculate direct and indirect effects from a multitude of ecosystem components.
Ecopath software package can be used to:
- Address ecological questions
- Evaluate ecosystem effects of fishing
- Explore management policy options
- Evaluate impact and placement of marine protected and managed areas
- Evaluate effects on environmental changes
Data on predator-prey interactions is largely gathered from the body of scientific literature and any field-related surveys. These data are input into the Ecopath model with the desired situation being that the biomasses, production and consumption ratios are known for all groups of predators and prey, and that only the ecotrophic efficiency is estimated. Ecotrophic efficiency can be described as the proportion of the production that is utilized in the system. By default equations, the model fills in information gaps in order to reach mass-balance of all trophic, physical and fishing interactions.
The core of EwE is the compiled biomass groups where the trophic interactions are established. In part the model exposes the interactions between human uses and the marine ecosystem, estimating the direction and strength of all factors that influence the way marine systems function. Ecopath provides an "instantaneous" estimate of biomasses, trophic flows and mortality rates, for some reference year or multi-year averaging window.
EwE is intended to be a marine ecosystem model. There is an assumption that EwE is somehow intended to supplant or replace single-species assessment methods. This is clearly not the case; ecosystem-based methods rely on information from traditional assessment, and is best applied to address strategic management questions, not tactical management questions to which single-species assessment is much better suited. The primary goal of EwE has been to develop a capacity for asking policy questions that simply cannot be addressed with single-species assessment. Examples include questions about impacts of fishing on non-target species, and the efficacy of policy interventions aimed at limiting unintended side effects of fishing.
Ecosim: Who's Eating Whom, When?
The time element of EwE is enabled in the Ecosim component. Ecosim turns the energy flows of a given Ecopath model into dynamic, time-varying predictions. Ecosim users can specify fishing mortality patterns over time either at the group level (fishing rate for each group over time) or the fleet level. Fleet level changes are specified as changes in relative fishing effort, and these changes impact fishing rates for the species caught by each gear type. That is, technical interactions (fishing rate effects on a variety of species caused by each gear type) are a basic part of Ecopath data input and Ecosim simulations.
Ecosystem simulation models have not been used much for fishery management. They do, however, provide insight into how marine systems function over time given a set of fishing effort variables as described in the following two examples.
Discarded bycatch can be treated as a biomass pool in Ecopath, i.e. as a diet component by species that consume discards (e.g., sharks, birds, shrimp). Bycatch and discard rates are then passed to Ecosim, accounting for changes in discard rates and biomass in relation to simulated changes in fishing fleet sizes. For example, shrimp often appear to become more productive under fishing by including the effects of both reducing abundance of predatory fishes (when they are killed as bycatch) and providing biomass for those fishes as food for the shrimp.
When a large, dominant species are fished down, Ecosim often predicts a substantial increase in smaller-sized predators that have been kept down in abundance by a combination of direct predation and competition effects with the large dominant species. Those predators then cause an increase in predation mortality rate on (or compete for food with) juveniles of the large, previously dominant group. This slows or prevents population recovery even if the fishing effects are removed. Ecosim thus warns us to be especially wary in the management of the most common, large, and dominant fish species that are the most valuable components of most fisheries.
There are also examples where Ecosim may produce misleading results (Christensen and Walters 2004).
There can be particular problems if indirect trophic effects are not recognized in the model. For example, fishing down tunas in a model of a pelagic ecosystem is likely to result in predicted increases in abundances of forage fishes, and hence to predicted increases in abundance of pelagic birds. But in fact, reducing tuna abundance may have exactly the opposite effect, resulting in bird declines due to the baitfish spending less time at the surface when tuna are less abundant.
Ecosim may also identify patterns as trophic and fishing effects that in fact have been due to habitat changes. This is a particular risk in situations where habitat change involves some fairly regular 'regime shifts' or cycles in habitat variables. Ecosim may well attribute cyclic biomass changes in such situations to predator-prey instabilities rather than environmental forcing.

Those Messes From The Today Show Ruined "The Peanuts" For Everyone
Those damn Santa Ana winds (Note: If you're a weather-themed drag queen looking for a name, consider Santa Ana Winds.) must've swept in some serious shit, because my allergies are acting up like Justin Bieber during a Norwegian TV performance. I've been overdosing on Benadryl, so when I first saw these pictures of the Today hosts in Peanuts drag for Halloween, I thought the medicine kicked on the "hallucination" switch in my brain. This is what it would look like if those mutant creatures from The Hills Have Eyes disguised themselves as Peanuts characters to lure children into their cave. I have three words for this: MWA MWA MWA?! That's Peanuts grown-up talk for "WHY, GOD, WHY?!"
Every Halloween, the Today hosts dress up as a theme and this year they did themselves up as Peanuts characters to promote the movie. Yes, the Peanuts movie got some promo, but we paid the price for it! Charles M. Schulz just rolled over face down in his grave, because he doesn't want to see this mess.
Matt Lauer as the fugliest Lucy ever gets a nope and Meredith Vieira looking like the Toxic Avenger's younger brother gets a double nope. Both Meredith and Willie Geist look like they have dead worms on their head. But for me, the most horrifying looks go to Kathie Lee Gifford as Woodstock and Al Roker as Charlie Brown.
You better Super Glue your eyelids to your eyebrows tonight, because if you close your eyes and fall asleep, these dark-sided demons are going to slither into your nightmares.
That picture of Kathie Lee Gifford looks like a still from an episode of Botched where the Grinch asks Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif for help because he got a shitty nose job from a back alley plastic surgeon in Whoville. I didn't need to know what kind of creature would be born if Voldemort and the green Teletubby mated.
And Al Roker! They definitely hate Al Roker at the Today show, because they did him wrong. It looks like somebody doody'd out a caca ribbon on the head of Sloth from Goonies. It's like Al Roker sharted on his own head.
I will never be able to unsee any of these pictures. Fuck you for that, Today!

What we created is a semi-text based game, in which the player is a wise man, priest-like figure. The player's job is to help him and the village to survive by bringing offerings to the god-like guardians. The villagers will come to the player to ask his help with the issues that they face, be it floods, broken bridges, plagues, storms or whatnot.The player has a free choice of which of the three gods to bring an offer to, and also what that offer is. This creates a sense of agency as their choices actively influence and change the game world. The game was made using only two "Colours": Black and White, is playable with a SNES to usb controller and runs on Windows (Keyboard can also be used instead of the controller, using wasd or arrow keys and z/x for accepting or returning).

Do you have a document you suspect has been forged or illegally created or altered? I can help you find the answer to your question. You need to find out the truth as soon as you can because we never know how far someone will go with a crime once they have started. Some of the situations I deal with regularly include forged checks, forged or altered wills, deeds, anonymous writing, legal contracts, medical records and other documents.
Please take a moment to call me to discuss your case because I will give a quick, honest, professional opinion about your situation, and direct your next recommended step. I can usually provide you with a verbal opinion within 48 hours. Because I work regularly with other document examiners, another document examiner can examine your documents at your request and possibly provide you with a second opinion at a reduced rate.
Most cases are settled out of court because of a document examiner's official "Letter of Opinion". If your case does go to court I can be your expert witness. My fees are among the lowest in the industry; always fairly billed, no surprises. Because you are probably worried or just plain mad about your situation, call me now. I'm sure you have already spent a lot of time and energy wondering what to do, so let's get to work!

Planet Earth Urdu - Jungles
On 3% of the Earth's surface, the rain forest is the habitat for half our animal species, even 80% of insects. So its wildlife is most competitive, like the birds of paradise's mating, and specialized with unique relationships of predation, parasitism etc. For plants, the quest for light is key to stratification, paralleled by interacting animals eating fruits, leaves and other animals. Even the jungle cacophony is stratified. On the soil, recycling specialist like fungi restart the cycle of life.

The Irish section of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is proud to introduce Silent Books, a travelling exhibition of over 100 recent, exciting, wordless picture books from around the world, from Mexico to the US via Denmark, Iran and beyond.
From 2-19 June 2017, the collection will visit Tralee Library, where a host of events will bring it to life. The Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council will launch the exhibition in the library at 10am on Friday 2nd June. Other events include Nation Creation workshops run by author, Debbie Thomas, as featured on RTÉ's News2day. Regular activities will showcase the collection with special Silent Books story times and local schools will visit the exhibition throughout June.
The second part of the project created a collection of silent books (wordless picture books) that could be understood and enjoyed by children regardless of language. These books were collected from IBBY National Sections – over one hundred titles from over twenty countries. One set of books was deposited at the documentation and research archive in Rome (Palazzo della Esposizioni), another was delivered to the library in Lampedusa and a further set forms part of the travelling exhibition that is now touring Ireland.
Jane O'Hanlon, President of Ibby Ireland says:
"This amazing Silent Book project began in 2013, in order to establish the first library at Lampedusa for use by local and immigrant children. Since then, it has travelled widely, including to Mexico, Italy, Austria, Canada and others of the seventy member nations of IBBY International. Now, it is Ireland's turn and we are excited to be able to host it at venues around the country. The project is motivated by the idea that every child has a right to become a reader. By highlighting 'wordless' books as a seed collection, IBBY ensures that it is accessible to every child who visits it, no matter of what age, language or culture. IBBY Ireland, a volunteer organisation, is thrilled and excited to have this collection touring in Ireland."
Sara Keating, The Irish Times:
"How can a book speak when it has no words? Powerfully, through pictures alone. (…) The exhibition is designed to draw attention to the key role that silent books can play in crossing cultural boundaries and promoting literacy."
Further information about this exhibition is available from IBBY Ireland, the local branch of IBBY International, an international network of people from all over the world, who are committed to bringing books and children together.

When I teach, I frequently give the class a mantra for the day.
My hope is that a particular mantra will keep them focused on what I really want them to learn in the class.
In my machine quilting classes, students often get hung up on the fact that they really just aren't that good the first time they sit down at their machines to stitch. They compare their work to my work and decide they just can't possibly ever be good at machine quilting.
My students' reasoning leaves out the truth of matter which is that I have spent THOUSANDS of hours quilting on both my domestic and my long arm quilting machine. What stands between them and good quilting is practice.
So the mantra for that class is often PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Another good one for students is START WHERE YOU ARE.
Where they ARE is at hour number one behind the machine.
And finally I like BEGIN AGAIN. Which is really just practice, practice, practice said with a zen attitude.
I decided to give myself five mantras for 2013. They are what I want to be this year.
I am going to try and
What are you going to be this year?

African Farmers, Agrarian Transformation and Critical Agrarian Studies
By Ray Bush
The new page on roape.net Critical Agrarian Studies engages with the most important issue of our time: namely, how can we deliver food availability and accessibility at an ecological and financial cost affordable for Africa's poor and in a way that is sustainable for the planet. This raises challenging empirical and theoretical issues of power dynamics in the production, distribution and exchange of food and over what types of food will be prioritised in a democratically organised global food regime. It raises issues in the framework of world food systems on how food is managed by transnational as well as national corporate and economic actors and processes, and how their power and legitimacy can be challenged by social movements and rural resistance to among other things, contract farming, agribusiness, water, land and other asset privatisation. The page will also raise crucial themes linked to the organisation of food production on a local scale in rural communities and in African households. We will host analysis of social relations of production and reproduction, gendered divisions of labour and the interaction between rural classes and urban built environments.
These exciting and transformative agrarian questions will be examined in the context of the broad perspective of critical agrarian studies. This analytical frame captures how agrarian life and livelihoods shape and are shaped by the politics, economics and social worlds of modernity. We will post updates and analysis of rural struggles that help explore and explain how peasants and rural classes are struggling to promote the radical transformation of Africa. We encourage empirical case study blog-debates informed by radical theoretical perspectives that analyse the political economy of agrarian social classes, the pressures that help shape their social reproduction and their interactions with other social classes and forces.
To read the blogposts please click here. We welcome submissions from anyone who wants to contribute to the debate, please email the page editor, Ray Bush: email@example.com.

Hyperandrogenism as a side effect of anticonvulsants
Aim: confirm the connection between hyperandrogenism and side effects of antiepileptic drugs in women. Materials and
Methods. Body weight, the menstrual cycle periodicity and the blood concentration of dihydrotestosterone were monitored in 278 women taking various antiepileptic drugs (valproic acid, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, and levetiracetam). The measurements were made at 3, 6, and 12 month after the treatment began.
Results. Among women taking valproic acid for 12 months, the average weight gain was 14.4%, and in the group of carbamazepine – 5.4%. In women taking lamotrigine and levetiracetam, the weight gain did not exceed 1.2%. With topiramate, a decrease in the body weight by 1.4% was found. Among women taking valproic acid, the occurrence rate of menstrual cycle disorders increased by 64.9% after 12 months of treatment. In women taking carbamazepine the increase was 22.6%. In the other groups, this increase did not exceed 3.7%. The occurrence of menstrual cycle disorders correlated with an increase in the level of dihydrotestosterone. In women taking valproic acid, an increase in the concentration of blood dihydrotestosterone from 256.8 pg/ml to 526.32 pg/ml was found at the time-point of 12 months. In the group taking carbamazepine, an increase in the concentration of dihydrotestosterone from 268.4 pg/ml to 354.4 pg/ml was noted. In the other groups, fluctuations in the concentration of dihydrotestosterone were insignificant.
Conclusion. The body weight gain and the menstrual cycle disorders during anticonvulsant therapy are associated with hyperandrogenism.

In one of my recent posts, A Convergence of Passions, I outlined how my career progressed from media to technology-centric and then, ultimately, a combination of the two. Much to my surprise, the convergence continues, this time, bringing my professional and personal lives together in an integration I could have only hoped for.
While at Franciscan University, I was fortunate to study Communications from not only a technical perspective but also from the perspective of the Catholic Church. During my sophomore year, I read Communio and Progressio, a 1971 pastoral letter instructing Catholics on the Church's teaching on Social Communications and encouraging them to embrace new forms of media and leverage them for good. This struck me as significant, especially in so far as the Church specifically encouraged the young to embrace new technologies. It was this motivation that piqued my passion for media and my overarching goal to be "in the world but not of the world."
Venturing out after graduation, I was pulled more and more toward technology and found myself applying this mandate to my new career field. My calling shifted from leveraging media for good to leveraging internet and web-based technologies for good. Of course, given that the internet is often referred to as "new media," this was anything but a stretch. You can imagine as the technology and media sectors have converged in my professional life, I've felt as though this "jump" had been validated. That said, one aspect was lacking. While my work has been beneficial to society by playing a role in enhancing productivity, optimizing businesses, and eventually creating jobs, it has lacked the supernatural element I have always found intriguing.
Today I am proud to announce I will be heading to the Vatican later this month to leverage my experiences in technology and media for an even greater good. The Pontifical Council for Social Communications will be holding its first-ever symposium for the Foundation of Evangelization through the Media. The purpose of the conference is to gather "Church leaders, entrepreneurs of high potential projects for evangelization through the media, and major business personalities" in order to "help the Church meet the challenge of having a stronger presence in all media." Having received the formal invite to the symposium only five days after posting "A Convergence of Passions," I can only stand in awe of the plan God has for my life and the lack of awareness I have to what it is. I have been truly blessed and can only pray that I am able to respond to his calling. My life continues to converge before my eyes.

Laser-induced electron transport through molecular junctions and DNA
- The goal of this thesis is to investigate the electron transport through molecular junctions or wires which have recently attracted much attention experimentally as well as theoretically. Under the influence of a bias voltage and the coupling to the leads which act as electron source and drain, a current through the molecular junction is established. When an external time-dependent field, such as a laser field or an additional AC voltage is applied to the molecular junction, new features can be observed. One phenomenon is the well-known photon-assisted tunneling (PAT) which means that an external field periodic in time with frequency $omega$ can induce inelastic tunneling events when the electrons exchange energy quanta $hbar omega$ with the external field. Another important effect is the famous phenomenon of coherent destruction of tunneling (CDT) which exhibits the unusual effect of quenching the tunneling dynamics at specific values of the field amplitude. In the present thesis the theoretical foundation for these investigations is a density matrix formalism where the full system is partitioned into a relevant part, i.e. the molecular junctions and fermionic reservoirs mimicking the leads. By using a perturbative approach in the system-reservoir coupling strength, it is possible to establish a quantum master equation (QMEs) for the population dynamics of the wire states and an equation for the current through the wire. By combining the theory of optimal control and assuming a predefined target current, a laser field can be obtained which does generate a predefined current pattern. The same technique can be applied to minimize the shot noise. Besides of using QMEs to study electron transport through molecular junctions with the affection of a coupling to leads, it is also possible to apply QMEs to investigate the electron transfer through DNA which is coupled to a phonon-bath.

(Columbia, S.C.) The Southeastern Assessment Institute (SAI) at Midlands Technical College is a two-day event where participants learn the ins and outs of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). SLOs are statements that specify what students will know, be able to do, or be able to demonstrate when they have completed or participated in a program or activity. SLOs are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values and are generally reported during college reaffirmation periods.
Janice Stoudemire, a now-retired MTC faculty member, created this event in 2010 when she was directing the college's reaffirmation of accreditation, and MTC needed to submit SLOs for the first time. Not only did MTC's own faculty need to know how to do SLOs, but they realized people at other colleges needed help too.
The first SAI had two tracks and six presenters. This year, MTC led four tracks and had 26 presenters.
"The event is organized with a great deal of MTC community help, and the presenters are almost all MTC faculty and staff. We pride ourselves in knowing how to demonstrate the best ways to produce effective SLOs," said Diane Carr, Associate Vice President of Arts and Sciences, and this year's Southeastern Assessment Institute coordinator.
Participants of the June 2018 session came primarily from the S.C. technical colleges, but others have come from as far away as North Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, and Alabama.
"This is a great college initiative that we are proud to host on a regular basis," said MTC President Dr. Ronald L. Rhames. "Participants are eager to learn from the knowledge our incredible team has garnered through hosting this event in the past. I am proud of our group for hosting such a prestigious event every year."
Most colleges have been through a couple rounds of reaffirmations since the Southeastern Assessment Institute started, so it's mostly new faculty who need to learn about SLOs.
"We plan to continue this institute next year," said Carr. "As long as there's a need for it, we'll continue to provide the resources to help people learn all they can about student outcomes."

POETRY: Five By Carl Adamshick
POETRY: Five By Carl Adamshick
Black Snow
My brother sent a letter
from the house
where our mother is dying
He describes the planet earth
with its trees and low buildings
wheeling past the sun
I picture him
in the plastic lawn chair
at the head of the driveway
a thistle growing
in the crack beside his beer bottle
leaving a wet ring
on the blonde cement
The tenuous frail night
landing like a paper airplane
in a field of high corn
Then fireflies
Then mosquitoes
pulling iron from his veins
Moon Seen Through Windshield
If you are anything like I am
and I have faith that you are
then you have already stepped
out of your body
and been irrevocably wounded
I was born in 1969
Chances are you were born
during a different year
It doesn't matter if you were born
three thousand years ago
or if you are born
three thousand years from now
we share what it means to live
Maybe you have gone
back into your body
and found words
the only guide
into the known dark
We are both the living and the dead
the stuff beyond theory
Sometimes it is too much
and other times not enough
We wake to a morning fog
We wake to morning sun
We sit in a cold evening
thinking of the death of a parent
During a different cold evening
we think of our eyes
and how they crawled
out of our minds
at some point
in the evolution of the self
It is the evening of the first day
of a new year
I ask myself what have you done
The list is remarkable
Black Snow
From my mother's funeral
I brought back Illinois
I brought back a ring and a necklace
I brought black snow
I brought a sense of cruelty
and rage that felt fair
to inflict on each moment
I brought back a new calendar
where the days
were ten times longer
and had to be opened
using tweezers on a dial
with a six digit combination
Moonlit Glass
I miss everyone. I miss my friend
Matthew and his appetite for acceptance,
his kindness, exuberance, his way
of making me happy in a world
that snows. I miss my mother,
who's first birthday after her death
is today. I miss the red maple
in her front yard giving
its leaves to October. I miss
my brother who says the kitchen,
not the bedroom, is the great room
of intimacy. I miss the sky
because I once read Hikmet
list the cosmos as something
he didn't know he loved.
I've spent the day discovering
things I want and things I don't
want wear the same clothes.
I miss my ex, would still spend
an afternoon with her talking,
would still sleep with her
if she wanted to lose
her grasp of language in a mess
of blue sheets. I spent my youth
in church not believing
but feeling unified after service,
liking the white cars in the lot
and the dogs behind the chain link.
Tonight, on the shelf, a glass moose
figurine holds in its left antler
a tiny reflection of the moon
that is somehow shooting through
and illuminating its whole body.
It reminds me of how I used
to think of blood as its own being,
as a creature searching for a way out.
I take the moose from the shelf.
It goes dark in my hand.
It has no eyes, has no ears or mind.
It has no mouth, but then
it's mother never had children.
I live in your umbrella
standing on a sea of dirt.
The white light of noon
blasting like a bullhorn.
I've done so much without you
I want to share.

How can we deepen Christian faith formation at camp?
In wrestling with this question, the leadership team at Silver Lake Mennonite Camp, located near Sauble Beach, Ont., launched a new initiative last summer to take its longstanding faith-building tradition to another level. The team created a new position called "spiritual life coordinator" and hired David Penny for the position, made possible by financial support from Mennonite Church Eastern Canada.
A big part of the role was to be a resource to staff, helping them find "creative, meaningful and authentic ways to weave the faith theme throughout the summer camp experience."
For example, staff were invited to participate in a Devotion Committee so they could develop personal reflections, litanies or skits to share with campers at nightly campfires. Penny assisted head counsellors in their role of supporting staff. He also met with staff one-on-one and informally to accompany and mentor them in their own faith journeys.
"I am still in awe of the willingness of the staff to speak openly with me and one another about their struggles, doubts and questions of faith," Penny reflected after the summer. "I knew I wanted to be more than just a listening ear or the occasional closing prayer. . . . I wanted to push staff from the routines and ruts we can all find ourselves caught in when ensconced by a comfortable and familiar setting."
"This was only made possible by the openness of staff to share their journeys," he added. "[Together] we crafted a sacred, thin space along the shore of Silver Lake."
Penny led all the Quest sessions with campers, except for the first week. The program was based on the theme "Stories of discovering Jesus" that was adapted from the 2016 MennoMedia Vacation Bible School curriculum.
In his reflections at staff and camper gatherings, as well as with parents at opening and closing campfires, Penny often referred to the unique opportunity that camp presents to be immersed in God's texts as found in both the Bible and in nature.
According to Karen Cornies, Silver Lake's executive director, the camp hopes to continue the spiritual life coordinator position this coming summer, in order to build on the great work that was done last summer.
Other Focus on Camping stories:
Camp farm program invites delight in God's creation
'So supported'

Luther Park at Sandpoint was a huge blessing to our mother and family. She received impeccable care and devoted service from the entire staff. Each person genuinely gave of themselves day in and out. We completely trusted the staff for Hilda's cares ad needs, knowing they also wanted the best for her. This in and of itself is a gift beyond compare.
We appreciated the warm, cozy atmosphere of the Luther Park facility, also. It only enhanced the family-like feeling we experienced the last 4 years.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again!
– The Family of Hilda Schmidt
My father has been a resident of Luther Park at Sandpoint, Idaho for almost 4 years. Before moving into Luther Park, he had lived on his own after Mom died and was not too keen on moving into an assisted living facility. But after several years he eventually agreed and Luther Park became the "home" he grew to love. This past fall he had to be hospitalized for a short period of time and was then moved to a rehabilitation facility to continue gaining his strength back before he could return to his apartment and his Luther Park "family". He took a turn for the worse and we were afraid he would never leave the rehab facility. The one thing that was constantly on his mind was being able to return to his home at Luther Park. It would be a long 5 months. This past weekend Dad celebrated his 100th birthday with his loving family and friends at Luther Park! The day he was well enough to return was one of great joy. And not just for Dad! As he was wheeled into the dining room that day, he received a standing ovation from all in attendance as he exclaimed, "I'M HOME!" His apartment that day had a constant flow of staff members and residents who came to welcome him back and more than just a few tears were shed. I cannot begin to tell you how much the people (residents and staff members) at Luther Park mean to Dad and this family. The staff cares for him as if he was their father! I see it time and time again in the way they lovingly care for each and every resident. I cannot heap enough praise on the wonderful staff who take such good care of everyone. They are a special breed of people. Dad is in good and loving hands and we thank God that they are there for him when we can't be.
His family thanks you for all you do, Luther Park at Sandpoint, Idaho! You are a wonderful bunch of people and Dad couldn't be happier! Just ask him!
– Sincerely, The family of Bill Remmers: Holly Woods, Sherry Gropp , Steve & Sheri Remmers
"What a beautiful facility!" We loved the decor, warm and inviting. Interested in the brands.
Impressed with the personal touch and care given to our loved one by the staff. A staff member served coffee and hot chocolate to a group visiting her. Staff inviting and helpful when the Regiers came Sunday to sing.
Many commented how blessed we are to have our loved one at Luther Park and how grateful they are that she is in a facility that takes wonderful care of their sister, aunt, mother, grandma etc.
Her daughter and son-in-law ate a noon meal with her. They went on and on how delicious it was. The son-in-law even had written down three items from the meal that he was going to google the recipes upon his arrival home and attempt to make them.
Overall, the Regiers came to the same conclusion that we have held for these past 3 years since Mother has resided at Luther Park, God is good by providing a beautiful, inviting and caring home for our dear, dear loved one. Many had never visited her here before. They now have a sense of peace knowing she is being loved on and cared for after personally seeing that implemented during their visits. Knowing she is in good hands is a precious gift given to her family.
Thank you all!!!!
– Anne for the Regier Family – September 2015
To be experiencing all the care and compassion being given to my Mom and our Gram at Luther Park has been the best thing that could have happened for our family.
Thank you and God Bless you all.
– Diane Carlson, Kim, David, Shawnn, Brittany and Matt April 2015
Moving to Luther Park has turned out to be one of the best moves I have ever made.
I moved to Luther Park from Montana a little over two years ago. I had stopped driving and as a result my social life became very limited. Living alone was difficult and I had become depressed. My daughter who lives in Sandpoint encouraged me to move to Idaho.
My first few days here I found the people to be very friendly and welcoming. Before long I felt right at home. I joined many activities such as Bridge, Bingo, Walking Club, Bible Study and I attend all the special programs they bring- did I mention Bridge, my first love.
I started to look forward to meal times. It has become a real social time for me. The food is really good and I don't have to do any shopping, preparing, serving or the dishes. That is great.
I highly recommend Luther Park for anyone looking for a new home..
– Harriet M. March 2015
I decided it was time to move from my home on Gamlin Lake so I asked folks and friends and every one of them recommended Luther Park. I visited each facility in Sandpoint and was most impressed by Luther Park.
The best evaluation you can make of Luther Park is to visit there some morning or afternoon. Meet the staff and a few of the residents, and I am confident you will be impressed and the members of your family will be assured that you will be well taken care of.
– Larry T. March 2015
My parents moved to Luther Park a year ago after a lifetime of independent living. It was difficult for them to accept the fact that they now required help and could no longer live on their own, and Luther Park allowed them to make the transition to assisted living a gradual and happy one. They both enjoyed living at Luther Park because of the facilities and most importantly because of the respectful and caring community of staff and residents.
– Rob L. October 2014
I moved into Luther Park Sandpoint in February of 2013 and have been "happily at home" ever since. I moved from Arizona to Sandpoint to be close to my daughter after my husband passed away. She brought me to Luther Park to visit with the administrator and "take the tour." I found it lovely and well appointed; the apartments comfortable and homey and of various sizes to fit each individual's needs.
It didn't take long after moving in, to realize the staff are our extended family, friendly, loving and caring—always ready to help. I never get bored as there are numerous activities planned for us each day if we care to participate. We have a lovely library—cozy and complete with a fireplace and loads of good books to read. A fitness room with two treadmills, a recumbent bike and our new prized "NuStep" which everyone is pleased with—easy to use and helps us to stay as fit as we can be.
All in all it's a great place in which to retire. My daughter is greatly relieved, as she knows I am well cared for and content. I could go on and on about our wonderful chef and the terrific food she prepares, our fun "Social Hour" each afternoon in the Bottle Bay Lounge (so aptly named!) but you need to come visit and see for yourself! Then you'll know what I'm talking about! Look me up when you get here!
– Phyllis K. October 2014

Pitney Bowes' Group 1 Software Introduces Data Products for Enhanced Geocoding and Spatial Analysis
LANHAM, Md., January 07, 2008 - Group 1 Software, Inc., a Pitney Bowes Company (NYSE: PBI), today introduces Centrus Points and Parcels data solutions for U.S. properties. Utilizing these advanced data products, businesses in a wide range of industries including financial services, insurance, real estate, telecommunications and utilities are better able to locate properties, assess risk, determine eligibility for services and manage assets.
Centrus Points is the industry's most powerful geocoding solution to combine parcel centroid-level geocoding precision with Assessor Parcel Number and elevation attributes specifically designed to meet property information and risk analysis needs. Centrus Parcels identify the property boundaries for each parcel, removing ambiguity related to the location and extent of the actual property. By attributing both products with address, location, APN and elevation information, this solution provides a coordinated data set to meet the needs of all Location Intelligence applications.
"It is clear that the trend towards parcel-level geocoding--and the use of parcel boundaries for both analysis and display--is going to accelerate. Many companies need the precise geographic accuracy that parcel-level data provides," said David Sonnen, IDC's senior consultant for Spatial Information Management. "For example, property and casualty insurance companies need to precisely determine how far a house is from the coast, or if it is located inside or near an area prone to brush fires, without the delay and expense of an onsite inspection. Businesses like these require the highest accuracy level available. Centrus Points and Parcels is a significant step towards both national parcel coverage and the highest levels of accuracy for the U.S."
"The level of precision and detail incorporated into Centrus Points and Parcels provides the critical information required for location-dependant businesses where the difference of a few feet can significantly impact business decisions," said Kurt Hasbrouck, vice president and general manager, Location Intelligence, Pitney Bowes Software. "Centrus solutions have long set the standard for accuracy, flexibility and speed, and the addition of Centrus Points and Parcels emphasize our continuing commitment to meet the most demanding requirements of mission-critical business applications."

In October 2005 — former Governor Jim Edgar announced he would not run for Governor in 2006 against then Gov Rod Blagojevich. In this one-on-one interview, we spoke with Gov Edgar a few days after his formal announcement, to hear why he decided against running again for governor when polls at the time showed he was ahead of Gov Blagojevich by 18 points.
Jim Edgar served as Illinois Governor for eight years, having won the office in the election of 1990, and then being re-elected in 1994. In 2005, Jim Edgar was working for the University of Illinois' Institute for Government and Public Affairs. He had remained a popular figure through the term of Gov George Ryan, who subsequently went to jail — and through the governorship of Rod Blagojevich, (who was impeached in January 2009)
Due to his remaining a popular figure in Illinois — frequently referred to as "the last good governor" — he was approached by a number of people around running for governor again in the 2006 election.
As Jim Edgar tells us in this interview, he mulled over the decision seriously over the summer of 2005, while he vacationed in Colorado. He says he expected he would be convinced to run again.
Here we learn why he ultimately decided NOT to seek election for governor in 2006. We can only imagine how the history of Illinois over the last 12 years would have changed, had his decision gone the other way

Rock Drumming Beats (with eighth notes)
In this drum lesson, we are going to introduce the concept of playing eighth note beats as it relates to rock music. These are foundational grooves that you are sure to use for years to come, so take your time and learn them right - the first time!
Rock Beat #1
As with past "progressive" lessons, beat #1 is an important first step. If you are not familiar with counting eighth notes, read the lesson on understanding time. Then come back when you are ready.
The beat below is pretty straight forward. It includes eighth notes on the hi-hats, and simple snare and bass drum shots where the quarter notes would be.
Play through it at a variety of tempos. Focus on keeping the steady hi-hat strokes on the eighth notes, and lining the bass and snare drum shots perfectly with the hi-hats.
Rock Beat #2
In this second beat, you will be playing steady quarter note strokes with the bass drum. As with the beginner beats, try playing the first beat and then transitioning in and out of this variation.
If you are having any trouble with these rock beats, just slow everything down a little and be sure you are still counting out loud.
Rock Beat #3
Just when you were getting used to playing all the bass and snare drum shots where the quarter notes would be - things get more difficult. In this beat, you will be playing a bass drum shot on the "and of three". In other words, you will count "three and" playing the bass drum on both the "three" and the "and" counts.
This may be a little awkward at first, but just be sure you maintain the steady hi-hat strokes. Many beginners will slow down the beat around the three-count, but it is important that you maintain a steady groove. If you need to play that specific part of the beat at a slower tempo - slow down the entire beat to match.
Rock Beat #4
For this fourth variation, the bass drum has been moved from the "and of three" to the "and of two". It is a slight change, but makes the beat sound completely different.
Always remember to stay relaxed and loose behind the drum set. Focus on breathing deeply while you play, as many beginners have a tendency to hold their breath when having difficulty with a new beat or fill.
