Quaker Oats hired Paul Winchell to film a commercial for Life cereal, aided, of course, by Jerry Mahoney. Figuring this to be from 1967, and attached to an episode of Bewitched. Hanna-Barbera, which produced the open for Bewitched throughout its run, created the variant attached to the ad, which has Darrin eating some Life. Gary Owens (Space Ghost) is the announcer for the sponsor tag.
Winchell & Mahoney would then do a spot for rival Kellogg's a few years later, shilling for Frosted Mini-Wheats. We'll post that one another day.

The debate moderator was Westbrook Van Voorhis, the voice of radio's March Of Time for decades; this was one of a longer series of Life commercials, with Van Voorhis moderating "debates" between older celebs and kids.
All before your time, I suspect ...

Look! Gray Bedrooms
[image: TH Designs]Around here we certainly love color, but that doesn't exclude some of the more subtle hues. Especially in the bedroom, some of us need something a bit more subdued, but in no way boring or unstylish. Some of our favorite gray bedrooms here:
It's all about gray and white in Eric and Lauren's Reborn Bungalow.
The white really pops against the gray walls, and of course we like that there isn't too much going on on the walls besides the gray in Polly and Ben's Shangri-LA Bedroom.
A dressed up classic with bits of red and gold: Turquoise's Luxury Hotel Bedroom
We put together these 2 images from Domino because we loved the way the white, black and turquoise mixed with incredible textures make the gray feel so inviting and warm.
And if these didn't float your boat, check out some brighter colors options like adding some orange to your palette, or simply check out the psychology behind the colors you love.


text: Microsoft Surface - my take Posted on 6/18/2012 @ 10:28 PM in #Non Techie by Sahil Malik | Feedback | 2307 views Okay so the news has sunk in. Microsoft talked about two tablets, one that runs WinRT, the other than runs full Win8 pro. I thought I'd compare the two, and put on my clairvoyance hat to predict where this will go. In fairness I think, you can compare the WinRT Surface to iPAD, and Win8Pro Surface to Macbook Air. So here is a bang by bang comparison, WinRT Surface iPad Verdict 676 grams 652 grams Equal 9.3mm 9.4mm Equal WinRT OS iOS We have to sit back and see how this pans out. It is unclear how many normal Windows apps will work on WinRT, and how many metro apps there will be. As of now, iPad is ahead. I wouldn't jump to conclusion that WinRT apps will quickly catch up – just look at windows phone. So, for now, iPad wins this round. But, Surface does come with MS Office. 32G/64G 16G/32G/64G Same 10.6" HD display Retina display Equal – yeah really! HD resolution may be lower than retina, but it really doesn't matter. 1080p is high enough. Also, Surface is 10.6" wide screen. Kickstand, touch keyboard etc. Much bigger accessory market Equal Ports Apple seems to have a wireless equivalent to everything Surface offers Equal Battery life – unknown 10 hrs. This will be a big differentiator. Consider that iPad has no problems eking out 10hrs, and Windows will typically overclaim it's battery life. Price unknown $500-$839 Again, this will be a big differentiator Verdict – If the battery life is decent > 7 hours, and the price is a tad lower than iPad, we may have a real winner on our hands. Lets not forget the many other OEM manufacturers who will also introduce impressive tablets. Next, lets compare Win8Pro surface with MBA. Win8Pro Surface MacBook Air Verdict 903 grams 1.08KG Surface wins – 100 grams lighter is a lot. Keyboard/Tablet form factor Laptop form factor Surface wins Win8 Pro Some sort of cat Mac OS This will boil down to personal choice. I'm not a big fan of the keyboard/mouse experience on Win8, but the tablet experience is awesome. On the other hand, you have die hard mac fan boys. This will boil down to personal choice. 64G/128G Up to 512G MBA wins, yeah you have ports, USB sticks, but nothing beats the convenience of inbuilt storage. And how much of 128G will be eaten up by Win8Pro and Office? Deal breaker! Memory unknown 8G MBA wins because I haven't seen an ultra book > 8G, and frankly I doubt Surface will top that. But if surface tops at 4G – MBA wins. Battery life – unknown, though I'd be shocked to see a good battery life on this. With a 42WH battery, I'm guessing 3-4 hours of proper usage. MBA battery life sucks too :) Equal Ports MBA seems to have more here MBA wins Display – Full HD Display – less than Win8Pro Surface wins Price unknown $999-$1499 This will be a differentiator Verdict – Win8 Pro surface does pack a punch here. There is no denying that. But 128GB? That's it? C'mon Microsoft! And how much of that will be eaten up by the OS, and MS Office? Summary – Surface is a good product. But, so was Zune 2.0, but MSFT killed it due to their poor execution, or perhaps a plan to roll it into Win Phone 7. Either way, there are the following unknowns, a) How MSFT executes this space – but the start is encouraging. b) How well does software catch up with iPad app store. Frankly a windows metro experience with equal to iPad app market beats the pants off the icon based UI that Apple is stuck with since 2007 (and into iOS6 – very disappointed). If it wasn't for a choice in apps, Win8 tablet UI beats iPad TODAY! c) Battery life and price – two unknowns, and let me throw in the charger size as well while I'm at it. Long story short, the battle is far from over. I don't think this will be an iPad killer, but it gives iPad reason to sweat a little. Either way, great time to be a techie. This increased competition will force Apple to innovate more, or lower their prices. The biggest thing Apple needs to be worried about, their refresh cycle is 1.5-2 years, while the OEMs in Microsoft space will out-surface surface by Win8 pro release. I'm excited. Woo!

Statement on the Passing of Lillian Runnerstrom
ACNM is saddened to learn of the passing of Lillian Runnerstrom, CNM, PhD, FACNM. She was a lifetime member of ACNM, serving on many committees and as president from 1967 to 1969.
Lillian was a 1955 graduate of the Maternity Center Association nurse-midwifery program. From 1963 to 1965 Lillian was an assistant professor of maternity nursing at the University of California, Los Angeles. She then moved to Baltimore and was an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the first nurse or midwife to hold that position. She led the nurse-midwifery education program there from 1965 to 1969. Her pursuit of graduate education for the program stimulated the eventual transfer of the program to the university's School of Hygiene and Public Health in 1969.
As professor and head of the Department of Maternal Child Nursing at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Nursing from 1969 to 1980, Lillian established their nurse-midwifery program in 1972. The program is now recognized nationwide for its excellence. In 2003, the UIC Department of Maternal Child Health founded the Lillian Runnerstrom Institute of Excellence in the Study of Women, Children, and Family Health in her honor.
Lillian was a true pioneer with broad influence. She worked most of her professional career to advance academic and clinical education for nurse-midwives. She was also an enthusiastic reader of science fiction and fantasy.
Joyce Roberts, CNM, PhD, FACNM, said, "I have many positive memories of Lillian. She hired me fresh out of my nurse-midwifery education in 1972 when she started the program at UIC. She had worked deliberately and successfully with the leaders in nursing and medicine to establish the practice of nurse-midwifery at Cook County Hospital (CCH). I remember an occasion when she came down to chat with me, and commented on the importance of collaboration with colleagues in nursing and medicine in order to educate nurse-midwives and enable them to practice successfully. Lillian was an effective and gracious role model. It is because of her leadership and the relationships she had developed that many CNMs in Illinois have a positive relationship with nursing within the legislative, educational, and practice contexts."
Lisa Paine, CNM, DrPH, FACNM, said, "Lillian was a member of the first Board of Trustees of The A.C.N.M. Foundation, Inc., established shortly after incorporation in 1967. She also received the Foundation's prestigious Dorothea M. Lang Pioneer Award in 2007 - in recognition for being the 'founding mother of midwifery in Illinois.' She was an inspiration to all of us!"
Carol Howe, CNM, DNSc, FACNM, said, "Lillian was the consultant on my first HRSA grant when I was a (very) novice educator. I learned so much in three short days. I was in awe."
Janet Engstrom, CNM, PhD, FACNM, said, "She was a gift. Always an inspiration. She literally moved mountains for us. And she was always positive and always nice. I thank her often for my career both as a nurse-midwife and as a nursing professor. I am also eternally grateful to her for introducing me to Dr. Edwin Chen, the statistician who became my mentor and influenced my entire research career. He took me as a student as a favor to Lillian. She was like that. She connected people."
"Lillian's many contributions to ACNM, midwifery and her many students, colleagues and to women and families will be long remembered. She provided us with wisdom and a focus on collaboration that serves as a strong foundation for our future," said ACNM President Lisa Kane Low, CNM, PhD, FACNM.
Lillian passed away on June 12, 2016 at the age of 95. Gifts in her memory may be directed to:
Lillian Runnerstrom Institute

Last week, UK's Daily Mail reported that vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's ex-girlfriend of ten years is African-American. It's ironic that Ryan, who once claimed he'd experienced racism first-hand because of it, is now running on a ticket that uses race to divide and conquer as adeptly as George H.W. Bush used Willie Horton.
In fact, the Republican party has done more to create racial divisiness in the last four years than any time in the last two decades. When Anne Romney took to the podium last Thursday night, with her perfectly quaffed helmet of blonde hair and stated, "We are taking our country back," I couldn't help but feel that the subtext was: "We're taking it back from Obama and the blacks."
Paul Ryan's relationship with Deneeta Pope was in the early 90s, the same decade that Carol Moseley Braun became the first African-American woman to be elected to the United States Senate and Oprah Winfrey became the most successful media mogul on TV. Interracial dating might still have been taboo to some, but it seemed like as a nation, we were making strides towards racial tolerance in our personal lives -- even if structural and institutional racism prevailed.
Ryan's party affiliation -- and his seeming political shift from his days of crossing the racial divide and rocking to Rage Against the Machine -- got me thinking. Have attitudes about interracial dating changed for the new generation, for the men and women like Paul Ryan, who grew up on hip-hop as a mainstream cultural phenomenon, lived their entire lives in the post-civil rights era and now have Obama as their president?
The good news is yes, they have changed and old racist attitudes are diminishing. According to a the latest study by PEW Research Center, America is at 83% approval rating of interracial relationships. (93% of Millennials support it). Forty years ago, it was 25%.
But has interracial dating gone post-racial? Not exactly, says Dr. Jerry Mendelsohn, Ph.D., professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, lead author of a recent study that looked at online dating racial preferences. When it comes to interracial dating, whites, for the most part, stay within their race. The study, which was conducted between 2009 and 2011, looked at both stated preferences and behavior of whites and African-Americans.
"Overall," said Mendelsohn, "whites stated a preference for a partner of the same race and behaved in that way." The reluctance of whites to contact blacks on online dating sites was true even for those who claimed they were indifferent to race. This was true across age ranges.
"Conversely," Mendelsohn adds, those who said they were indifferent to the race of a partner were most likely to be young, male and black. Although black participants initiated contact to members of their own race more than to whites, they were ten times more likely to contact whites than vice-versa. Researchers also tracked the respondents once they received a message from a potential partner. Again, whites were most likely to respond to members of their own race, and only 5% (of both men and women) responded.
Why do whites still prefer to date within their race? "We can't say for sure," says Mehdelsohn. What's interesting is that younger (18-30) whites are more likely to state that they are open to dating African-Americans, even if their behavior doesn't support it. "It seems that while segregation doesn't exist in reality, psychologically, many whites act as if it does."
"We're a ways off to being in a post-racial era with dating," says Mendelson, but he remains hopeful because the data on reciprocation is more encouraging than the data on the initiation of contacts. "It appears that crossing the racial boundary is very difficult, especially for whites, but once the boundary has been crossed, i.e., once participants have been contacted by someone of a different race or ethnicity, they are more open to the possibility of an interracial date."
Or could it be whites of this generation, particularly those who deploy modern day means of hooking up, are as close-minded when it comes to interracial dating today as they were in the 1990s?
Bakari Kitwana, author of the forthcoming book Hip-Hop Activism in the Obama Era (Third World Press) and Why White Kids Love Hip-Hop (Basic/Civitas) says it's a leap to suggest that white kids are more close-minded today. However, he does believe that since Obama's presidency, race relations have grown more contentious, in part because the right wing is not afraid to play the race card.
"The conservative analysis of race has become normalized in public discourse," adds Kitwana. "As a result, racial division and animosity as well as conservative ideas about race have come to permeate talk shows, comments on blogs, opinion polls and online dating sites."
If Kitwana is right, even though there have been positive shifts in national values toward cultural understanding, post-racial America is not here. Paul Ryan's past relationship and the online dating study further prove we still have a long way to go in unraveling the complexities of race in America.

How long is the Fellowship?The Fellowship at Wake Forest is one year and traditionally begins on the first Monday in June.What is the structure of the Fellowship?The Fellowship has 3 simultaneous parts: Leadership, rotations, and projects. More about the Fellowship structure can be found under "Administrative Fellowship Overview" on our Organizational and Fellowship Overview page.What are rotations like?Fellows have structured rotations in all areas of the organization. A typical rotation consists of meeting individually with 2-5 leaders in each discipline to learn more about that leader's roles, responsibilities and background. The leader may also tour the fellow around their area or incorporate them into some of their meetings. If a fellow enjoys a specific rotation or desires to learn more about it, they have the flexibility to elect to spend more time there and get involved in their projects, if able. We encourage fellows to pursue their interests. In addition to meetings with the Medical Center's top leaders, the fellows typically rotate in the areas listed in the table below:
What is it like living in Winston-Salem? Where are good places to live?Winston-Salem is a city with a rich history with all of the amenities you need. There are many young professionals in the city. You can read more on our Living in Winston-Salem page. How many Fellowships are offered?Two Fellowships are offered annually.What is the relationship like between the fellows? Do you work together on projects?The fellows have offices right next to each other and interact often. They also frequently attend the same leadership meetings. However, each fellow has a different rotation schedule and work on different projects a majority of the time, allowing them to pursue what interests them most.Are fellows guaranteed a job after completion of the Fellowship?Administrative Fellows often continue working at Wake Forest after their Fellowship. It is our goal that the Fellowship provides fellows with a highly valuable year-long experience that can be the foundation of their career.My program requires an Administrative Fellowship/Residency. Does Wake Forest accommodate these students?Yes, as long as the didactic portion of the program is complete prior to beginning the Fellowship. Many former fellows have had this requirement, and the preceptor helps the fellow complete all of their necessary graduation requirements.
Is Wake Forest a member of the National Council of Administrative Fellowships (NCAF)?Wake Forest has an independent application process so we are able to allow students from all backgrounds to apply for our fellowship free of charge. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is not currently participating in the NCAF application process, but students of university members of the NCAF are welcome and encouraged to apply.
What do I do if my references do not want me to see my recommendation letter? Any individuals providing recommendations can email the document themselves to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Recommendation Letter_Applicant's Full Name".

How Microsoft Azure Architectural Patterns Change Approaches to Solutions, Infrastructure, Security, and Software Development
Looks like this video was taken down for some reason, as it already has 47 views :P Please repost this video and fix the links to the slides. Thanks.
Windows 8 Tip 3: Using Windows File Explorer
@Giedrius @Duncanma I was having the same problem where the text was too blurry to read while streaming (both in small and full-screen mode). Thanks to your comment Duncanma I noticed that I was using the Silverlight plugin (in firefox). I clicked the little "format" button under the video and chose HTML5 and the stream is now much clearer and I can read the text. Thanks
Git Support Added to Visual Studio and TFS
Right now in TFS you can branch and merge code across team projects. Will this still be possible if one team project uses TFVC and the other uses Git?
Git Support Added to Visual Studio and TFS
OMG OMG OMG. This looks awesome. I love TFS, but honestly the source control has always been one of the worst parts of it. Now being able to use Git, but still get the benefits of work item tracking, reporting, etc. is great!
A couple questions:
1 - When will this be available for Team Foundation Server (so we can use it locally, rather than having to use the Team Foundation Service cloud).
2 - Does using a Git repo still support Check-in Policies?
Check out the new Windows Phones!
Can't agree more dentaku; would love the Lumia 900, but Rogers is the worst carrier you can go with in Saskatchewan so the phone would pretty much be useless
Also, I remember hearing that the 900 would have a front facing camera, but that wasn't discussed at all in this video. Are there any apps yet that make use of it?
Where there's smoke, fire and explosions... there's the 3D particle engine, Tranquility
I've followed this project for a while now. It is nice, but is still in the early stages and is relatively young.
I created DPSF (http://www.xnaparticles.com) back in 2009, it is regularly updated, and it is now very established and used in many XNA projects and indie games. Also, particle systems created in DPSF can be used on PC, Xbox 360, and Windows Phones with few or no changes required. DPSF is fully documented and comes with many tutorials and examples (including source code) to learn from or use directly in your games (including explosions). Like Tranquility, DPSF is free and highly extensible; however it is not open source.
I definitely still recommend checking out Tranquility as it uses some different concepts than DPSF that you may prefer (static vs dynamic particle systems, affectors, etc.), but just be aware that DPSF is another XNA alternative worth checking out.
Project Compatibility in Visual Studio 11
I too was super excited about this, but also very disappointed as it won't work for our solution either since we use a Team Foundation Database Project (.dbproj), which is not backwards compatible with VS 11; VS 11 still gives us a conversion wizard and wants to convert it into a new type of database project
.NET 4.5: Size-on-disk improvements
Very nice......hopefully this will mean that devices that currently support subsets of .Net (like the .Net compact framework) will be able to switch to providing support for the full .Net framework. Good job!

When is data binding debugging coming to WPF? This would be great as we do everything at my company in WPF.

Oswald Chambers Quotes About SurrenderQuotes about: Surrender
God never forces a person's will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. True surrender is a matter of being 'united together [with Jesus] in the likeness of His death' (Romans 6:5) until nothing ever appeals to you that did not appeal to Him. And after you surrender--then what? Your entire life should be characterized by an eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God.
We will suffer a sharp painful disullisionment before we fully surrender. When people really see themselves as the Lord sees them, it is not the terribly offensive sins of the fleshthat shock them, but the awful nature of the pride of their own hearts opposing Jesus Christ. When they see themselves in the light of the Lord, the shame, the horror, and desperate conviction hit home for them.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a University of Texas at Austin School of Information faculty member $550,000 to explore ways to make crowdsourcing more viable and lower the risk for potential adopters.
The grant is one of three early career awards that assistant professor Matt Lease has won in the past year.
"The challenge of quality assurance continues to deter many employers and institutions from applying crowdsourcing practices in their organizations and reaping the benefits," said Lease, who is a pioneer in the nascent field of crowdsourcing research. "For those unfamiliar with the term 'crowdsourcing,' it simply refers to the practice of mobilizing a large, global population to complete tasks or offer information and data."
The NSF award will allow Lease to investigate, integrate and benchmark different quality assurance algorithms across a wide range of tasks, dataset sizes, labor sources and operational settings.
"The goal of the work is to develop a practical, comprehensive set of best practices for potential and current crowdsourcing users," said Lease. "Investigation of techniques to enable massive, real-world crowdsourcing datasets will push the scale an order of magnitude beyond what researchers commonly study today."
In addition to the NSF's CAREER Award, Lease also has received $290,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to investigate cost-effective curation practices that will make it easier to preserve everyday conversations and allow them to be added to our cultural record. Complementing this IMLS project, he also received a $300,000 Young Faculty Award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to apply enhanced speech transcription technology to improve state-of-the-art search engine technology for searching conversational speech archives.
"Just as pen and paper once did for writing, technology now allows us to capture and preserve our conversations for posterity," said Lease. "Unfortunately, storing all this data won't be very useful unless we can effectively search it."
The complementary IMLS and DARPA projects will investigate ways to make it as easy to search past spoken conversations as it is to search old emails.

For Christmas of 2012 I decided to make something small and handmade for my family. I am leery of giving people handmade gifts and imposing my idea of what's attractive on them, so I wanted it to be something useful as well. I found an online tutorial about how to saltwater etch designs into Altoids tins, which I thought was perfect. If people didn't like the designs, they could still keep something in them and throw them in a drawer somewhere.
The tutorials I used were the following, by Jake von Slatt:
- Etching Tins with Salt Water and Electricity - Complement to the Steampunk Article
- Copper Plating and Etching Altoids Tins
I posted the results on flickr here.
The following are some things that I did differently from the article:
- I was never able to get the copper sulfate plating to work. I used Zep Root Kill in distilled water, but the result was always very thin and suffused with a dirty gray. I ended up using copper colored Testor's paint and copper-colored Rub-N-Buff, and got pretty good results.
- When the saltwater etch ate straight through the lid (which it did sometimes) for some of the lids I used lead-free electrical solder to reinforce the lids.
- I used Mod Podge to add paper liners to the insides of the tins, to hide where the electrode had been attached. I quickly found that adding paper liners to the inside of the tin tops made them impossible to close, so I painted them instead.
- For my first set of Altoids tins, I burned the paint off with a propane torch. This was effective, but I later realized that it was better to leave the lacquer on the edges of the boxes to protect them from the etching.
- I bought some plain tins online from Specialty Bottle but they would not etch. It turned out that they were coated with a thin layer of lacquer. I used a wire brush attachment with an electric hand drill to remove the lacquer from the tops and bottoms of the tins, as well as from an area on the inside big enough to attach the electrode.
- One of the tins was etched all the way through the lettering but the tin seemed to be basically sound. I put a color-changing led lamp inside the box so that you could see the light through the missing lettering.
- I tried to pound the embossed "ALTOIDS" text flat with a hammer but it did not work very well, and the slight emboss still left on the tin made it impossible for it to hold the toner mask. For one of these, I painted on a mask with Testor's paint, but I could not get nearly the level of detail that I got with a mask created on my laser printer.
- I made the rounds of all of the local thrift stores looking for ugly muisic boxes. Luckily, they were in good supply. I took the movements out of the boxes and threw the boxes away. A standard Sankyo movement will just fit in an Altoids in. All you need to do is drill three holes. The tin boxes resonate the music nicely. Sankyo seemed to be the best brand of music box movement available in a $3 or under music box. There were a few others that looked similar, but they usually didn't work as well.
- I bought a spray can of clear gloss lacquer and used it as the final finish layer over the Rub-N-Buff or Testor's paint. After letting some boxes sit for a little while so the fumes would dissipate, I put them in the oven set at about 200 degrees for half an hour or so. This seemed to help set the lacquer.

Shooting down religious freedom – The Sunday Age takes aim
It was only a few days ago, but it feels like it was in another life, on another planet, that I was watching Go Back to Where You Came From on SBS, marvelling that such a morality tale about the rights of asylum seekers and the gift of multiculturalism could only have been made in such a forward thinking, rational country as Australia. And then I unwrapped this morning's Sunday Age.
The front-page headline of 'Outrage grows on ritual killing'; the editorial pull quote of 'religious freedom has its limits'– taking aim at kosher and halal slaughter is nothing new in contemporary newsmedia, but replete with a cartoon that could well have been reproduced from a lovingly thumbed back issue of Der Stürmer, today's Sunday Age has raised the bar to terrifying new heights.
In the poorly researched Peter Munro feature, or in the sanctimonious editorial, you would have noticed a familiar line of inquisition – the apparently casual mention of 'genital mutilation' (read: circumcision, as practiced by Jews and Muslims since the beginning of Judaism and Islam); and of schechita as 'profit-driven'; we can assemble the familiar picture of a bloodthirsty, money-hungry Jew who consistently fails to abide by the laws and morality of the land. The undertones read not dissimilarly for Muslims.
The real issue remains that if the The Sunday Age must throw journalistic integrity to the wind in place of attempting to a buoy rapidly sinking paper at a rapidly destabilising publisher, at least it should be done with the pretence of factual argument, and some sense of context.
Not long ago, across the Tasman, the New Zealand government put a halt on schechita. The New Zealand Jewish community's meat supply ran empty, and it was only after it was revealed that the New Zealand Agriculture Minister had a conflict of interest that the ban was overturned.
In addition, it was found that the basis of the ban, a government-funded Massey University study, was fundamentally flawed. This was demonstrated by none other than animal ethics expert and animal rights champion Colorado State University's Dr Temple Grandin, who is an advocate of kosher slaughter when it is performed to the standards she has specified. Her paper, titled 'Discussion of research that shows that Kosher or Halal Slaughter without stunning causes pain', can be found here.
Closer to home, Australian food law expert Joe Lederman says that the assumption that penetrative captive bolt stunning reduces the pain of the animal is a myth. "Often the bolt misses the mark," he says. "That would be the case even more so with a sheep. The bolt misses the skull, might go in the eye, and can be done again and again."
Lederman says that there's always been kosher slaughter in Australia, and legally enshrined recognition of kosher slaughter as a special slaughter method in Victoria and New South Wales. "It has always been accepted," he says. There was examination and improvement in the methodology in the 1950s under the supervision of Jewish lay leadership and rabbinical leadership. "There has been continuous improvement and refinement. And there have been specific improvements to ensure that the animal is held completely immobile."
Meanwhile, The Age has entirely missed the economic implication of its argument. Sure, Jews and Muslims may have to do without a local meat supply, but what about the jobs that would be lost in the process of this denial of religious freedom?
Daniel Lewis, general manager of Continental Kosher Butchers, a paying member of the Australian Meat Industry Council, whose chairman Terry Nolan made the inflammatory 'profit-driven' quote in the front-page article, utilises no fewer than three abattoirs in Victoria, and also directly employs more than 50 staff.
"You're talking close to 120 people in Victoria," Lewis says of the potential job losses if kosher slaughter were to be outlawed. And it's not just the direct employees; it's also the flow-on employment in delicatessens and supermarket meat departments, and the staff of the kashrut authority that oversees the process. If halal slaughter were to be banned, many more jobs would be lost; there are three times as many Muslims as Jews in Australia.
Lewis tells me that Western Australian abattoirs have already stopped facilitating schechita. There it was a 'profit-driven' issue – the kosher market is too small to argue with the publicity-sensitive meat industry.
In Victoria, he says, schechita constitutes a major proportion of a number of abattoirs' income. The numbers of Jews are greater, and so are the numbers of Muslims. If we were going to unite to fight anything, this is it – otherwise, first they'll take our meat, and then they'll make us keep our foreskins. In the end, it's all a matter of blood and knives, and that's nothing new. Neither is the price of complacency.

If you have flat feet, your arches are low or maybe even absent. Flat feet are often associated with excessive pronation, which is the action that causes the foot's arch to descend down and inward (flattening) as the foot strikes the ground. Pronation is a normal and necessary foot motion. Overpronation, however, means that feet pronate to an excessive degree while standing, walking or running.
Because of their tendency to overpronate, flat feet are less able to absorb shock. And this impaired shock-absorption can mean increased stress on the feet, ankles and knees.
You can sometimes identify overpronation in a person with flat feet by observing them from behind. You may see something called the "too-many-toes" sign, where the individual's toes and forefeet splay outward.
Some Causes of Flat Feet
- Normal Developmental Changes — As children grow, their legs will experience developmental changes that can result in excess flattening of the arches with weight bearing. One example is genu valgum, or knock-knees, a usually normal, temporary condition in children at different stages of growth. A tight calf muscle or Achilles tendon can also contribute to a flat foot. Many children will experience tight calf muscles as they go through growth spurts.
- Congenital Foot Abnormalities — Conditions that are present at birth and are often diagnosed early include: metatarsus adductus, calcaneovalgus and congenital vertical talus.
- Tarsal Coalitions — Tarsal coalitions are congenitally fused foot bones that cause a rigid flat foot often associated with painful muscle spasms. This type of flat foot is usually diagnosed later in childhood or in adulthood.
- Loose Ligaments — Any condition that causes loose ligaments can result in a flat foot or lower-than-normal arch. Ligaments are bands of tissue that connect bones to each other and have an important role in giving form to foot arches. An example of a condition that causes loosening of ligaments is pregnancy, where normal hormonal changes relax the ligaments. Diseases that cause loose ligaments include Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Leg Length Inequality — If one leg is longer than the other, one foot may be flat in relation to the other to compensate. Usually the foot on the longer limb will have a flatter arch in an effort to shorten that limb, balancing-out the unevenness. Leg length inequality can be caused by spinal abnormalities such as scoliosis. It can also be due to an actual difference in length of one leg bone compared to the other.
Problems Often Associated with Flat Feet
- Hammertoes
- Bunions
- Stress Fractures
- Shin Splints
- Arthritis of Foot Joints
- Tendonitis
- Plantar Fasciitis
When Flat Feet Require Medical Attention
If you have flat feet you may not necessarily need treatment — sometimes a child or even an adult will have low arches and have no problems. It's normal for a baby's or young child's feet to appear flat until the structure of their feet is more fully developed.
If flat feet are contributing to secondary problems, especially leg or foot pain, treatment may be necessary. Flat feet can sometimes cause difficulty walking or running and interfere with athletic activities. A visit to a podiatrist will involve an evaluation of foot structure and function. Besides a foot exam, a visit may include foot X-rays and an analysis of your feet while walking.
Your podiatrist may prescribe arch supports or orthotics to control the pronation. While orthotics and arch supports don't permanently correct the shape of the arch, they do help control excess pronation that may be causing wear-and-tear on your muscles and joints. Sneakers with a design called motion control are also helpful for overpronators. This style of sneaker has a design that creates more stability by limiting movement in the heel and arch area of the shoe. Additionally, physical therapy and stretching exercises may be in order, especially if tendonitis (tendon inflammation) is present.
Flat feet that are the result of congenital or developmental abnormalities may require further intervention, such as bracing, casting or surgical correction.
- A brace incorporates an arch support into a device that attaches to the lower leg, giving extra support and flat-foot control. Bracing or foot surgery may also be warranted in cases when flat feet are caused by neurological diseases or are aggravated by posterior tibial tendonitis, which can be a long-term complication of flat feet.
- Casting is a method used for children whose flat feet are caused by bone positional abnormalities, such as metatarsus adductus. It involves using a series of casts to assist in re-aligning leg and foot bones to their proper anatomical position.
- Surgical procedures for flat feet vary depending on the root cause of the condition. Surgical correction to control pronation may include bone implants or Achilles tendon lengthening. Tendon transfer, which is a procedure to re-attach a tendon to another area of bone, may also be used to reduce pronation and improve foot function.

UNLV shocks No. 12 Tennessee
Rebels earn program's biggest upset against Lady Vols
LAS VEGAS -- UNLV pulled off the biggest upset in program history on Wednesday with a 4-3 shocker against short-handed Tennessee -- the 12th-ranked team in the nation.
The Lady Rebels improved to 9-5 while the Volunteers, who were ranked as high as fifth just last month, fell to 11-6.
The previous highest-ranked team the UNLV women defeated was No. 17 William & Mary on March 6, 2002.
Tennessee started out by sweeping three doubles courts for a 1-0 lead. The match became tied as soon as the teams reported for singles play, however, because the Vols only could field five players after multiple injuries in their lineup. That gave UNLV a point on court six where Ella Bourchier was awarded a forfeit victory.
The hosts then took the lead when Nives Pavlovic won at the third spot after Caitlyn Williams retired while trailing 4-3 in the first set. UNLV upped its advantage to 3-1 when No. 125 Aleksandra Josifoska finished off Sarah Toti 6-2, 6-2 at the second position. UT then picked up a win on court four.
The match came down to the top of the lineup where No. 57 Lucia Batta battled No. 37 Kata Szekely. Batta took the first set 6-3 but lost the second in a close tiebreaker. She trailed 2-0 in the decisive third set before winning six consecutive games to give her and her team wins with a 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 final. The sophomore standout improved to 13-1 in dual matches this season and 23-7 overall. UT then closed out the final match in three sets on court five for its third point.
"Today saw a tremendous effort by our players after losing the doubles point," head coach Kevin Cory said. "They came back and pulled off a big upset against one of the nation's best teams. Now we have a big challenge ahead this weekend as we begin our conference schedule."

Floyd Cochran passed away July 22, 2010, at his home in Parkdale, Ore., with family by his side.
Floyd was born Aug. 4, 1934, in Bryson City, N.C., to Harley and Una (Ray) Cochran. He lived in North Carolina until he was 11, when he moved to the Hood River Valley with his family.
The family lived in Hood River and Floyd attended schools in Hood River and then went to work for Hanel Mill, where he worked nearly 40 years on the floor as an edger and sawyer. He was a hard-working man who provided for his family.
On Nov. 11, 1952, Floyd married Lila Mary Meyers at Stevenson, Wash., and they made their home in Parkdale. They were blessed with five children: Teresa, Terry, David, Daniel and Donald.
The family recalls their memories of many camping, hunting and fishing trips or when Floyd would bring out his guitar and sing. The family was active in the Odell First Baptist Church and although in his later years he wouldn't play his guitar he still loved to sing at church.
Floyd was an avid bowler and bowled three times a week for many years and was bowling right up to the end. He collected many friends over the years from Hanel Mill, the Odell Baptist Church and bowling league, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Floyd is survived and will be dearly missed by his wife, Lila, at their home in Parkdale; four children: Teresa (and Bruce) Bell, of Riverside, Calif., Terry Cochran, of Hood River, Dave (and Jeannette) Cochran, of Hood River, and Don (and Dianna) Cochran, of Hood River.
Also surviving are nine grandchildren: Andrea, Christina, Shawn, Kara, Ryan, Natalie, James, Amber and Pat; six great-grandchildren: Natasha, Nicole, Olive, Jordon, Julian and Niya; siblings Helen Muhs, George Cochran and Bill Cochran; and other distant family and many, many friends.
He was preceded in death by a son, Dan Cochran.
A service to honor Floyd is planned for 1 p.m. Saturday, July 31, at Anderson's Tribute Center. Family friend and Pastor Rick Plank will officiate. Graveside rites will follow at Idlewilde Cemetery.
Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson's Tribute Center (Funerals, Receptions, Cremations), 1401 Belmont Ave., Hood River, OR 97031; 541-386-1000.
Please visit www.andersonstributecenter.com to leave a note of condolence for family.

Diebenkorn's Untitled #25
Richard Diebenkorn. Untitled #25,1981. Gouache and crayon on two sheets of heavyweight glossy white paper. Gift of The Pokross Art Collection, donated in accordance with the wishes of Muriel Kohn Pokross, class of 1934 by her children, Joan Pokross Curhan, class of 1959, William R. Pokross and David R. Pokross Jr. in loving memory of their parents, Muriel Kohn Pokross, class of 1934 and David R. Pokross. SC 2012:1-6
Richard Diebenkorn grew up in San Francisco and attended Stanford University and the California School of Fine Arts, where he studied with the artist David Park. Together, Diebenkorn and Park were two founders of the Bay Area Figurative School, choosing figuration over abstraction, the prevailing style of the time. Unlike Park, however, Diebenkorn embraced abstraction in the mid-60s, when he embarked on the series of works for which he is best known: more than 140 monumental paintings that he titled Ocean Parkafter the Santa Monica neighborhood where his studio was located. With their linear planes and luminous, broadly-brushed glazes, the Ocean Parkpaintings dispensed of figures but resembled landscapes.
Untitled #25comes from a series of drawings Diebenkorn executed during a hiatus in the Ocean Parkseries. Made in 1981 and 1982, they are based on playing card figures such as clubs and spades, shapes that had fascinated Diebenkorn since childhood.
Diebenkorn embarked on the playing card drawings after his mother, Dorothy Diebenkorn, became severely ill during the early 1980s. Finding it difficult to maintain the intense concentration required for the Ocean Parkpaintings, he turned to the new medium as a temporary diversion. Ultimately, the project occupied a steady year and a half of work. Untitled #25was one of fifty sheets exhibited at the Knoedler Gallery in New York City in 1982.
Like the Ocean Parkpaintings, #25gives the sense of something seem outside a window, perhaps an abstracted landscape. The loops of the club could be abstract forms, but the recognizable shape also ties this drawing back to the representational sphere. In doing so, it links Diebenkorn's early figurative work with his later abstract work.
Untitled #25is currently on view in Shared Inspiration: The Muriel K. and David R. Pokross Collectionuntil July 29. If you cannot make it before then and would like to see this or other works from our vast collection, the Cunningham Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs is open on weekdays by appointment.

Download the authoritative guide: Enterprise Data Storage 2018: Optimizing Your Storage Infrastructure
Many people have said RAID is dead. But just like the Phoenix, RAID may rise from the dead thanks to some new technologies.
One of the more recent and interesting of those technologies is Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) from NetApp. An examination of DDP illustrates the problem with conventional RAID and what can be done to make it useful into the future.
The Problem with RAID
RAID is one of the most ubiquitous storage technologies. It allows you to combine storage media into groups to give more capacity, increased performance and/or increased resiliency in the case of drive failure. The cost is that for most RAID levels we lose some of the total capacity of the RAID group because parity information has to be stored or a mirror has to be constructed.
However, like many of us, RAID is showing its age.
Using RAID-5 or RAID-6, you can lose a drive and not lose any data. When a drive is lost in a RAID-5 or RAID-6 group, all of the remaining drives in the group are read so that the data can be reconstructed via the remaining drives and parity information.
For example, if you have ten 3TB drives in a RAID group (RAID-5 or RAID-6) and you lose a drive, you have to read every single block of the remaining nine drives. This is a total of 27TB of data to reconstruct 3TB of data. Reading this much data can take a very long time. The fact that all remaining nine drives are writing to one target spare drive doesn't help reconstruction performance either. Moreover, while this reconstruction is happening, the RAID group may still be in use, further slowing down the reconstruction. Plus, in the case of RAID-5, if we lose another drive then we can't recover any of the data (with RAID-6 we could tolerate the loss of one more drive).
While we now have 3TB and 4TB drives, 5TB and 6TB drives are on the way. In the case of a RAID-5 or RAID-6 group, if we have ten drives that are 6TB each, then the amount of data that needs to be read to recover from a single drive failure is 9*6 or 54TB of data to recover a single 6TB drive. Remember that drive speeds aren't really getting any faster, so the amount of time to read the remaining drives is much greater than it is today (i.e. the read performance stays the same but the amount of data to be read increases).
Moreover we also have the problem that the URE (Unrecoverable Read Error) rate for drives has not increased. The URE describes the amount of data that is read before hitting a read error (i.e. the controller cannot read a particular block). This is particularly important when a RAID rebuild is initiated because the entire capacity of all of the remaining drives in the group have to be read -- even if there is no data in the blocks.
In some cases, this can push the probability of hitting a URE to almost 1 (i.e. guaranteed to hit a block that can't be read), meaning that the rebuild will fail. In the case of RAID-5, this means that the rebuild has failed, and the data has to be restored from a backup. In the case of a RAID-6 you now have 2 failures -- the first failed disk and the disk that gave a URE. The RAID-6 rebuild can continue, but it has now lost its protection. If there is another error, then the RAID group is lost and the data must be restored from a backup.
Of course, storage companies have recognized the limitations of conventional RAID, and they have created some techniques for allowing the rebuild process to proceed in the event of a URE. For example, in the case of RAID-6 with a failed drive, you still have one parity drive, so a URE won't stop a reconstruction. This allows controllers to continue reconstructing the RAID group. But really this is just an application of RAID-6 (the ability to lose 2 drives).
One other idea that I haven't seen yet but that might exist is the ability to skip the block being reconstructed when a URE is encountered. The array would finish the reconstruction but notify the user which block is bad. Of course, the file associated with the failed block has not been fully reconstructed, but this does allow you to reconstruct all of the other data. This is much better than having to restore 54TB of data from a backup or a copy because ideally you could restore just the file(s) that were affected by the bad block.
So the big problems for conventional RAID groups are (1) as the drives get larger, the number of drives in a RAID group needed to encounter a URE, decreases (true for both RAID-5 and RAID-6 groups), and (2) the rebuild times are getting extraordinary long because read and write performance stays the same but the RAID groups have more data.
The combination of these issues, as well as others, have not painted a rosy picture for RAID. As drives have gotten bigger, the outlook for RAID has gotten gloomier. Many people have predicted its demise for years. But there are technologies that can help improve the situation. In this article I want to examine one such technology, Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP), that shows a great deal of promise in helping RAID be a viable technology into the next generation.

I know the money didn't get taken from my account for last week's auction until the issue date (Monday this week), by which time I knew the exact price, but I was using T-Direct, and I believe someone else, who used Fidelity, had the money taken out on the auction day.I use Fidelity and the purchase for the auction is posted to the account on the day of the auction close date. For the reopening of the 10 year TIPS that closed last Tuesday the purchase was posted to my account on Wednesday and the money was redemmed on the settlement date which was the 17TH. I will know the cost of the 5 years on the 25th and settle on the 28th.It is just a matter of book keeping. Also I am purchasing these in an IRA so the money has to be there to place the order. I assume that if this were a taxable account I would have three days to get the money into the account prior to settlement.I personally find Fidelity very convienient for treasury auctions and of course there is no fee if the order is placed on lineOxBeaux

Have you ever fallen into the pages of a book and fallen off your chair laughing? Have you ever smelled the earth as you see the picture of rain falling on parched mud? Pratham Books brings you such magic in your world with books! Pratham Books is proud to present "Bookaroo in the City" across 22 schools in Delhi. And guess who all are coming? Anthony Horowitz, Cindy Jefferies, Paro Anand, Lian Tanner ....and many other exciting names from the world of books.
On 23rd November, 'Bookaroo in the City' was travelling to Tamanna Special School in Vasant Vihar. We were greeted with a lot of warmth before the event even started. Ms. Rashmi Wahi, the principal of the school, told us a little more about the school and she even talked about the difficulties (with regard to reading) that are faced by the students in her school. She used an example of how the actual age of a child may be 15, but his/her reading ability may only be of a 5 year old. In such a scenario, the child then has to read books that have content which cater to the younger age group. So, what about books for this 15 year old with content that was simple enough for him to understand and which also addresses the things that he/she faces at that age?She talked about the need of books with simple content to cater to this demographic. This interesting anecdote made us all think of whether such books exist in India. If so, where can one find them? (If any of you can help us answer this question, please leave a comment at the end of this post and let us know. Thank you!)
But, now....back to the storytelling session from that day. We entered a room in the basement of the school that easily had about 50-60 kids who were there to attend the session by Ms. Mariam Karim-Ahlawat. Though there was no microphone, Mariam kept the kids engrossed with her versatile rhymes. Singing songs of idlis and dosas, vadas and sambhar - dreaming of hot crispy delights on a cold winter morning. Who wouldn't be enticed? The kids certainly showed their enthusiasm for them when they joined in and started reciting poems after Mariam. As Mariam walked around the room, trying to pay attention to all the kids in the room, she seamlessly moved onto another poem about a blue broom. Imitating the noises that a broom makes (swish-swish, etc), Mariam almost sounded like a DJ creating a new mix. The children loved her rhymes and joined in cheerfully and filled the room with giggles as they learnt more about the rhyme.
After reciting the rhymes, Mariam went on to read from our books 'Playtime' and 'Rain Rain'. As she told the story, she incorporated the use of the blackboard to illustrate the story she was telling. Though she instructed the children to draw something particular only later in the event, many of the children surprised her and us with the beautiful drawings they created as she was telling the story. Elephants, rabbits, clouds and fish emerged from the blank sheets the children were given.
I recall watching a rather reluctant boy enter the hall midway through the event. He sat away from the larger group of children, faced away from the session and kept to himself. He would occasionally look up and watch us and we would smile back in return. It was heartening to notice that towards the end of the event, he could not resist joining the storytelling session happening around him and started participating. Better late than never eh?
But the icing on the top of the cake was when we went to meet the Principal after the event and she thanked Mariam profusely and went on to add that she had been observing the children and that some children who never respond during class were actually responding during the session. The magic of stories maybe?

A five year photographic time capsule of

Gemma King
Age: 29
Occupation: Broadcaster and voice over artist
"My love of vintage stems from my training as an actress and my involvement in living history. I've dabbled in various eras but settled on the 1930s as not only do I feel the clothing style suits me best, but I am also fascinated by the history and culture during the inter war years (give me an MGM movie, a cocktail, a foxtrot and some jazz and I'm a happy lady!).
I love to know the background of each item I own, to know someone saved their pennies to make or buy that certain something, and that it's survived through so much action over the years, I think, is pretty special."Launch Gallery

The need for orthodontic treatment is equally important for adults. When teeth are crooked they are more difficult to clean and they undergo uneven wear.
The result can be inflamed gums, bone erosion (which can only be detected in x-rays), and exposed roots of the teeth (periodontitis), which will eventually lead to premature tooth loss. Also when your teeth are crooked, your bite will be off and chances are you will not be chewing properly / efficiently. This will lead to the swallowing of partially chewed food and promote stomach irritation and discomfort.
Orthodontic Treatment for Adults
There is no age restriction for an orthodontic treatment. As long as the teeth are healthy, and more important, the bone supporting the teeth is healthy, orthodontic treatment can be performed at any age. Chances are treatment may take a little longer than in that of a teen since adult bone is more brittle and teeth may move a little slower.
Surgical Orthodontics for Adults
Surgical orthodontics is the combination of orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery in adults only, where there is no further growth expected. It is performed in cases where there is an acute dental and skeletal problem affecting the relationship of the jaws which in turn compromises the aesthetics of the face and the functional capacity of the jaws leading to the loss or impaired chewing, speech, and proper inter-digitation of the teeth.

Son has officially moved out and is now living in a different country to me. Lucky bastard texted me last night to say he loves his room and was having a cigarette and enjoying the view on his balcony.
I'm waiting to see pictures.
|I'm imagining this . . . .and me sat on it.
On a positive note I clean when upset so at least I've been crying in a shiny tidy house. I haven't spoke to anyone, other then by text, for fear of sobbing down the phone which will no doubt bring people round and that is the last thing I want at the moment.
When I'm sad I like to be left alone.
Much as I like to wallow in self pity, and I'm fucking good at it - it's not a spectator sport.
Also it occurs to me that if any old friends were to come here now they'd look at the lack of clutter and dust in my house and probably think I've regressed to my youth and am back on speed.
Still not feeling great today, made shepherds pie earlier then realised I'd made enough for him as well and promptly started crying. From this day forwards it will be called emotional pie in my house.
I suppose it's to be expected really, I miss him already and most kids that leave home stay close enough to come for food five times a week.
|Is anyone hungry ?
Anyway I am very proud of him, it's a brave thing to do for anyone and despite the fact that I will worry I know that he will be ok.
He's gone away to do a safe job (he works in marketing for a Hotel company), in a beautiful city where he already has a few friends. I can call, text or talk online to him anytime, in fact he's probably texted me more in the last 24 hours then he normally does in a week.
He's only a two hour plane ride away - I've already looked at prices to go and see him on his birthday next month and it will only cost me £100.
And if for some reason things didn't work out he can come home anytime.
Some people have to say goodbye to their children as they are going away to fight in war zones, where they have limited opportunities for contact, and where they cannot leave until their tour of duty ends.
How any parent copes with that I really don't know.
My heart goes out to them.

General Surgery, Oncology, Transplantation
On staff since March 1988

"It is my job to ensure that every child receives the highest quality of surgical care and that it is provided safely and with compassion."
"It is my job to ensure that every child receives the highest quality of surgical care and that it is provided safely and with compassion."
Robert Sawin, MD, is surgeon-in-chief at Seattle Children's Hospital and vice chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is an attending surgeon in both pediatric general and thoracic surgery and in pediatric transplant.
He completed his residency at Harvard's Brigham and Womens Hospital and completed a fellowship at Seattle Children's. Sawin helped establish Seattle Children's liver transplant program and ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) program. In addition to clinical interests in pediatric liver, tumor surgery, congenital anomalies and the correction of chest wall deformities, Dr. Sawin leads the department of surgery's efforts in developing health care systems that ensure high quality, safe and cost effective care.
Dr Sawin treated me for pectus excavatum back in 2007. My sternum was putting pressure on the right ventricle of my heart and causing a lot of issues. I actually moved to Seattle to be able to have Dr Sawin do my surgery. I did a lot of research on various surgeons around the country and decided he was the right fit for me. From the first consultation with him, until my nuss bar was removed, he exceeded my expectations. He made sure I knew exactly what was happening/going to happen. He made sure I had realistic expectations. Not many dr's leave you with the impression that they genuinely care about your wellbeing, he is an acception to that. I recovered much quicker than many people I have read about and after seeing videos of how other surgeons do the procedure and knowing how Dr Sawin executed mine, he is the reason I was able to recover so quickly and have such great results. Even the scars are so minimal I have to point hem out to people. I would trust this man with any procedure that I or my child needed.

I usually dread Easter every year. My homeschool kids don't want to buy Easter outfits, they don't even want to shower half the time. 11am on Easter morning at First Church, Anytown, USA is stressful to say the least. That is why last year, we decided to start a new tradition: Sunrise service, breakfast out, and fun/meaningful activities back at the house for the remainder of the day.
This year, we located a worshipping congregation on the lake who was hosting a sunrise service at 6am. What a blessing it was to sit near the water, gaze at the rising sun, and celebrate the Risen Christ.
Once we got back home, we had our easter egg hunt (that obligatory cultural tip of the hat) which the kids still continue to thoroughly enjoy. We make it harder and harder each year, so it's fun for mom and dad.
After all the children were sufficiently stuffed with chocolate :), we went inside to work on our Resurrection Gardens.
We have been wanting to do this craft together for a couple of years. Finally, we just carved out the time and energy to make it happen!
Supplies: a clay pot, a clay base, soil, grass seed, a rock to cover the "empty tomb", and sticks gathered from outside to make the cross.
Overall, the children were more pleased with Easter this year than any of our previous years together. Hopefully we will continue to be intentional as we turn our hearts toward the most important holiday in the Christian year!
