Tough Week in the USA
Thinking about a blog subject this week has been difficult. So I have decided to say some of the things that are in my heart instead.
911 shook this country up, and for a while we were all sort of united in a common cause. Faded away to some extent, we forgot to watch our for each other, cover each others backs and stay in communication. So we had two major tragedies this last week. Unless you live under a rock, you have to know about the bombing at the Boston Marathon. It brought back all the memories and thoughts of 911. Once again, someone is attacking our cities. Watching all the videos, it's a wonder no more were killed. But there are many who are severely injured and will not forget this attack the rest of their lives. Many lost limbs, and will require surgery, maybe many times, to help them in their recovery. Months of pain and suffering will fill their lives. Their families and friends will be caring for them the rest of their lives. How can it be that people who hate the Americans so much are among us, talking to us, acting as friends, only to be planning an act of terror. We have always opened our country to immigrants, and hoped they would become American citizens, productive and caring. But that does not always hold true. And it would be impossible to screen out someone set on hurting us very far ahead of time. In fact , sometimes these heinous attacks are done , like at Columbine, by American citizens. It's kind of like this thing with new gun laws, most of us would be responsible and not plan on killing mass amounts of people. But someone who was planning that would likely get weapons whatever the status was for selling them. It's just sad that so many people have so much hatred in their hearts. Who failed them, how did their lives go wrong? Where is God or their power in their lives?
To add to the sadness, there was that horrific blast in Waco, Texas . The town looks like it was bombed. More people died there than in Boston, and this is supposedly an accident. Never the less, it is painful to see so many hurt and gone forever.
I spend a part of each day, reading my bible, spending time in prayer, asking God to watch over all of us, and keep us safe. Big order. Guess it's all part of his plan, and trying to understand it is impossible. Like loosing a child, or a husband, we are not meant to understand His ways, just to keep praying and asking for his help to understand and go forward, trying to do what he has put us on this earth for. I have days when I truly wonder if I am doing anything worth while, so glad I have some volunteer and some church work to help me feel like I am contributing at least a little in the way of compassion and caring. I continue to hope and pray that this world will become a better place for all of us, the fears for my grand kids and great grand kids are immense. Somehow, I am glad I am old now and will not live to see a lot of what this country will become down the line 20 years from now.
For all of us, I hope we can step back, say a prayer for all the hurting families this week, and keep praying for better things in the future.
I hope all of you have a safe and happy week, filled with spring flowers and sunshine, just never forget to be grateful for all the good things your lives have in them.

When horrible things happen, the idea that it is all somehow part of God's plan has never been very comforting to me. I've never liked the idea of worshiping a God who could intentionally orchestrate the horrific, untimely tragedies in innocent peoples' lives.ReplyDelete
When people ask "Where is God?" in the face of tragedy, I feel God can be one of two things--all powerful or all good. But not both because they are mutually exclusive in today's world. A God who was both could control everything, and would not let evil things happen. Clearly, that is not the case.
I personally choos to believe in a God who is good and just, and so I have to assume that there are things that are simply out of God's control. There are some things over which God doesn't have jurisdiction. Our choices, our will, our behavior. These are our actions, not God's. Keep your faith intact. Sometimes it's all we have.

A san carlos tour might have never occurred to you as an option to take comes the next holiday season. And there is a chance that you have never heard of any place named San Carlos to begin with. San Carlos is located in Costa Rica, a small country in Central America flanked between Panama to the south and Nicaragua to the north. You might have heard of the country but you may not know that Costa Rica is the most visited Central American country. In 2016 alone, the country saw 2.9 million international tourists, 10% higher than it was back in 2015.
The tourism in this country plays a role so big that it brought in $2.8 million in 2012. Costa Rica boasts a vast collection of national parks and preserved areas. In fact, the country is highly regarded as the pioneer of what today comes to be known as ecotourism. Now, it is estimated that 18% of the total tourists coming to the country go to Arenal, a national park with the Arenal volcano as its focal point—one of the 10 most active volcanoes in the world. At least, that was the case until 2010, when the volcano remained dormant to this day.
The san carlos tour would include a visit to this area because the national park is within this region. But before we go on, we need to set one thing straight: when talking about San Carlos, it could refer to two things, the canton San Carlos and the city San Carlos. The canton of San Carlos is a subdivision of the country, perhaps a little smaller than a province but no bigger than a county. The city San Carlos is the capital city of this canton.
The city goes by the name of Ciudad Quesada but is also to bear its canton's namesake. The previously mentioned Arenal Volcano is located in La Fortuna area, one of the districts within the city San Carlos. Learning this setting should be enough to give you a picture for the kind of tropical living you will enjoy during your stay.
But of course the san carlos tour does not only feature that magnificent volcano. There is so much to learn about and explore in San Carlos. For example, get this: San Carlos and the nearby areas are responsible for 65% of the total milk consumption in Costa Rica. The city features some hot springs that are transformed into resorts to attract tourists both from other countries and Costa Ricans.

Travel northeastward through the road that link San Carlos to Aguas Zarcas and you can visit the Zoologico La Marina. Operated by the Alfaro family, it is a nonprofit zoo. The family transformed their private ranch into a zoo to house a collection of 450 animals in total. Most of these animals were confiscated from illegal trading. Zoologico La Marina is also a site of tapir breeding program. The species has been known as endangered and the presence of this program should really help them from going extinct.

Robert Downey Jr. On Why He Keeps Coming Back For Marvel Films
Robert Downey Jr. is basically the Godfather of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor portrayed Tony Stark in 2008's Iron Man which kickstarted the largest cinematic franchise today.
Since Iron Man, Downey Jr. has appeared in a pair of sequels, a pair of Avengers films, brawled with his fellow Avengers in Captain America: Civil War, and will be playing a considerable role in Spider-Man: Homecoming when it hits theaters next month. 10 years later, the actor is showing no signs of slowing down with Marvel Studios projects, as he has at least one appearance slated for the two years following Spider-Man, as well.
During a press conference at a Spider-Man: Homecoming event, Downey Jr. explained why he keeps coming back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"What happens to me is that things are presented to me that are really well thought out by folks that have been doing this correctly for a really long time, and I go like, 'Check,'" Downey Jr. said.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to add impressive cast and crew members to its productions, with all of their films going on to become blockbusters, often receiving praise from fans and critics alike. As Homecoming director Jon Watts puts it, being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in interesting as a whole.
"One of the best parts of the job, when I first got it, was just going back and watching all the Marvel movies again," Watts told ComicBook.com in an exclusive interview. "To just think about the ground level of the universe in the context of all these other movies. That's really a fun exercise."
MORE SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING: Peter Parker Confirmed To Have Appeared In Iron Man 2 / Jon Watts Involved With Avengers: Infinity War / Uncle Ben Never Considered For Homecoming / Homecoming Director Likely To Return For Sequel
You can find the official synopsis for Homecoming below, which has a 4.13 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
The cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. It also includes Jon Favreau, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Michael Mando, Selenis Leyva, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., JJ Totah, and Hannibal Buress.

For 22 months Qntra has been serving Bitcoin and the Most Serene Republic as the news outlet of choice for distinguished readers and writers. The benefits of Qntra to these two seemingly different populations involve substantial overlap.
For Readers
Access to sanely parsed information about things that matter well before any other outlet dares. From calling out the GAW scam while supposed "Bitcoin News" operations were happily running their ads and press releases, breaking the story on Bitpay's layoffs, to the Bitgo insurance of null value, and absolutely everything about how the hard fork drama of the past two years would play out among other stories Qntra has been leading the way.
For Writers
Benefits include access to coaching and mentorship on journalism as well as a community of persons who make a habit of not being wrong. Successfully getting published in Qntra also involves learning to use essential tools necessary to participate in Bitcoin. As a minor bonus on top of this valuable educational opportunity contributions to Qntra are rewarded with equity which may be traded for Bitcoin. Writing for Qntra was recently highlighted as one of the best ways for the aspiring Bitcoin n00b to acquire actual Bitcoin without bending over to some AML/KYC enforcing fiat interface.
The net effect of Qntra's existence has been devastating for other purported Bitcoin news outlets. The various made for adsense style outlets like CryptoCoinNews and NewsBTC were forced to accelerate their race to the bottom. Venture capital funded outlets like CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph have transitioned to money losing vanity projects for their now singular owners. All still share a far greater interest in promoting whatever short term goal they hold over being right. To this day these outlets link sparingly to Qntra only when essential to a story they want to cover and often pass on actual news of importance through this frugality.
Qntra reader turned frequent contributor par excellence shinohai offered the following take on his journey:
I feel happy to contribute to a project where one is free to lampoon, yet get quality news without being beholden to scam agencies.
There are few better educative experiences available today where you actually get paid. Sorry for your loss, but what's your excuse?

We have a vast selection of accessories for the Kenwood TK-2360. View all Kenwood TK-2360 accessories here
We are a fully authorised worldwide dealer of Kenwood radio products. All products are supplied with a full warranty. Ensure your purchases are supplied by am authorised dealer. All products are supplied from the UK, and shipped registered and insured courier.
The TK-2360 is a VHF analogue two way radio from Kenwood. Meeting IP55 requirements this radio has a limited ingress protection against dust, whilst also being safeguarded against jets of water from all angles. Operating to MIL-STD-810 (C/D/E/F) the TK-2360 has been tested in some of the harshest working environments, proven to continue working even in conditions such as blowing rain.
A 16 channel capacity offers ample storage with the TK-2360, also hosting a colour coded channel stopper in order to enhance operability when only a select few of the channels are required. Side mounted programmable keys are featured on the TK-2360, this allows for easier operation usage whilst also taking advantage of the hold feature in order to double the number of functions available for quick use.
The TK-2360 is supplied as standard with a KNB-55L 1800mAh Li-Ion battery, this will allow for up to 9 hours of talk time. Standing at 103.7mm tall, 56mm wide and 29.1mm in depth whilst the battery is connected, the TK-2360 is described as a slim, compact and lightweight radio. Advances in Kenwoods engineering have resulted in ergonomic designs that are easy to grip and operate in a variety of working environments.
The TK-2360 is VHF. If you would like the UHF version, please see the Kenwood TK-3360.
Basic Privacy uses a fixed "key" which is set when the radio is programmed, of which there are 255 possible "keys". Whilst this level of privacy is technically basic encryption, it's nevertheless relatively insecure. Comparable to analogue 'inversion' scrambling, it will prevent the 'casual' listener from hearing anything, but does not guarantee against eavesdropping.
Basic Digital Privacy is built-in to the Kenwood TK-2360.
Voice activation, commonly refered to as VOX, allows the user to initiate the radio to transmit, simply by using their voice. Some radios only allow VOX capability via an external audio accessory such as an earpiece or headset which is VOX-enabled or has a VOX button.
There are two possible ways of enabling voice activation (VOX). The first is that we can program a VOX-enable / VOX disable button on the radio. The other option is that we supply an audio accessory, an earpiece or headset, that has a VOX button. Contact us for more information about this.
There may be programming required to activate VOX on your radio. In any event, please talk to our knowledgeable staff and we will be able to offer advice on VOX activation.
VOX Voice Activation is built-in to the Kenwood TK-2360.
Channel scanning enables the user to monitor a number of channels and respond when a transmission comes through. The scan feature can usually be programmed to include or exclude channels from the scan. Scanning fewer channels makes the scan faster.
A common example is when there is a private channel and community channel programmed. This is usually the case for a shop which is a member of the local business crime reduction (or shop-watch / pub-watch) scheme. The radio would "scan", or alternate between, both channels. Normally, they might only use channel 1 for their own private use within the organisation. But when a transmission (or call) comes through on the local business crime reduction (or shop-watch) scheme channel becomes active. Then within a few seconds the radio would revert back to it's original channel 1.
Digital hybrid radios can usually scan either or both digital and analogue channels simultaneously. This allows for an extremely flexible scan facility where the user can monitor many channels across both analogue and digital modes.
Channel Scanning is built-in to the Kenwood TK-2360.
Lone Worker is a feature found on many two way radios where it's able to send a pre-determined signal, for example a distress call or alarm, to other radios in range, Lone Worker requires some type of interaction from the radio user after a period of radio inactivity. An example of this is the radio can be set to require the radio operator to interact with his or her radio once every 30 minutes. If they fail to do so, their radio will start making an audible sound. If there is still no interaction with his or her radio within 1 further minute, a alarm will sound to other team members to tell them a team member is not responding to Lone Worker. The supervisor can then dispatch another team member to the non-reponsive team member's last known location to offer assistance.
Lone Worker can be programed in to the Kenwood TK-2360.
All licensed radios require a licence issued by Ofcom. Radiotronics can facilitate that and make the application on your behalf. Below are the licence options.
Here are just some of the accessories available for the Kenwood TK-2360. For the full list of accessories, pleae see our dedicated Kenwood TK-2360 accessories category.

Scepticism is Growing
The Minister for Climate Change was asked some tough questions on 4BC recently - worth a listen.
1 comment:
OK, so it's responsible to delay legislation by a year because of the financial crisis but not to delay it order to verify if the science supporting the legislation is accurate. When presented with evidence that there is no consensus then the in-word becomes majority. Her portfolio should be renamed Minister for Climate IdeologyReplyDelete

Support conferences, workshops, exhibitions and events
Events are a key part of sharing the Woolf Institute's work, findings and ethos with society, moving us further towards a world in which collaborative discussion and constructive engagement can overcome prejudice and intolerance.
Gifts of all sizes make a very real difference and you may choose to give for current expenditure or towards endowment for student support. Gifts may be made online by credit or debit card, by GBP cheque to Development Office, Woolf Institute, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0UB, or contact email@example.com to discuss other payment methods. More information can also be seen on our donate page about increasing the value of your donation with gift aid and donor recognition.
- Launch Year programme
During the Woolf Institute's first year in its new home (academic year 2017/18), there will be a programme of events, including termly lectures, musical events, conferences and workshops. We are seeking sponsorship for different elements of the programme, ranging from £600 for the Woolf Institute Research Day, to £3,000 for a concert or towards a conference, to £20,000 for the new building's official opening.
The programme includes the official opening and celebration dinner, the first in our series of exhibitions, music evenings, our lecture series, the first annual Woolf Institute Research Day, conferences and workshops. Wherever possible and appropriate, events are shared on online, via live streaming, vlogs or blogs. Highlights of the launch year programme are below.
To make a gift in support of the Woolf Institute's events programme and so help its work to reach a wider audience, please use our online gift form. Gifts may be made online by credit or debit card, by GBP cheque to Development Office, Woolf Institute, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0UB, or contact firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss other payment methods. More information can also be seen on our donate page about increasing the value of your donation with gift aid and donor recognition.
- Exhibitions
The Woolf Institute aims to host two exhibitions in its launch year, with a third following shortly afterwards, the first of which, 'Islam in Europe' by Ahmed Krausen seeks to present photographic images of the many faces of Islam in Europe, represented in society in different ways, including architecture, people and art. After its inauguration at the Woolf Institute, this exhibition will then travel through Britain. Up to fifteen pieces will be displayed throughout the building from early in Michaelmas term until April 2018. The Institute will offer tours of the artwork periodically and the art will be available to see during normal working hours in the public areas of the Institute. The exhibition will open with a private view, tours will be given during the Woolf Institute Research day and a leaflet will be available for those who wish to take a self-guided tour and as a memento of the works.
The Institute intends that the second exhibition will feature synagogues around the world and the third churches around the world. Discussions regarding the synagogue exhibition are underway with Diaspora Museum in Tel Aviv.
- Music Evenings
Through a series of musical events during the opening year, the Woolf Institute aims to raise awareness of some of the most celebrated Jewish cultural centres under Islam. The aim is to bring down some common clichés popularly associated to 'Jewish music' and emphasise the diversity of Jewish cultural encounters with Islam. The intention is to help develop towards a more nuanced understanding of the borrowings and departures that shaped the Jewish music of Iraq, Thessaloniki or medieval Spain, and depart from the broad-brush view that tends to be conveyed of all music produced under Islam. The Institute's first evening concert will feature a London-based group of Jewish musicians called Rivers of Babylon to raise awareness about the beautiful musical culture of the Iraqi Jewish diaspora. The second musical event of the launch year will feature the acclaimed Pontanima interfaith choir from Sarajevo and the third, Yair Dalal, an Israeli musician of Iraqi-Jewish descent. Both the Pontanima choir and Yair Dalal's concerts will form part of the wider Living in Harmony research project.
- Lecture series
The 2017/18 Woolf Institute Lectures will be given termly by leading speakers including Professor Robert Tombs (Faculty of History and St John's College, Cambridge) and Baron (Rowan) Williams of Oystermouth (Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge and former Archbishop of Canterbury).
- Short-film night
The Woolf Institute will host a Short Film Night to showcase work addressing interfaith issues.
- Collaborative events with Cambridge Muslim College
During the year, the Woolf Institute will co-host an event with colleagues at Cambridge Muslim College.
- Woolf Institute Research Day
The Woolf Institute Research Day will showcase the research of staff and students at the Woolf Institute. Speakers will give an introduction to themselves and their work, with an opportunity for questions from the audience. The day will give staff, students, supporters and faith community members the opportunity to learn more about the Woolf Institute's research and how it can be translated into policy and actions to benefit society. To endow the Woolf Institute Research Day annually for 40 participants would require a sum of £30,000.
- Woolf Institute Research Seminars
The Woolf Institute Research Seminars will take place in Lent and Easter terms in 2017/18, with the longer Woolf Institute Research Day in Michaelmas. These seminars provide a place for research students and academics to test concepts that they are developing with a constructively critical audience from a range of disciplines who can suggest additional avenues of work, point participants to other helpful work in the same or other fields and critique the methods, premises and presentation of the research and its findings. Each seminar is attended by around 20 participants.
To endow three Woolf Institute Research seminars annually would require a capital sum of £10,000.
- Workshops
Our Visiting Fellow will present a workshop on his/her work. Details will be posted in due course.
Talk on Trust and Europe's Crisis of Representation. 7/8 December 2017
Across Europe, the economic and political realities established in the wake of the Second World Wart have come under strain. Brexit, anti-migration sentiment, and new nationalisms interrupt trajectories towards an ever more integrated, liberal, multicultural, and border-free Europe. Trust, the lack of trust, and untrustworthiness are offered as explanations by politicians and observers to explain fear, anti-establishment populism, and the rejection of cultural difference. This conference asks: why is there so much talk about trust and what does it reveal about our political condition? What work is performed by discourses on trust, distrust, and the absence of trust in debates about disenchantment and crisis? This conference will bring together scholars working in different areas - citizenship, emerging nationalisms, cultural diversity, minority activism, and new economic forms - to investigate the ubiquity of talk on trust and its implications for understanding the changing political, economic, and cultural landscape in Europe.
- Conference Fund
The Woolf Institute is seeking gifts to its conference fund. The long-term aim is to have an endowment of £500,000 producing an annual income of £20,000 per annum, which will be used to fund 2-3 significant conferences or workshops each year in key areas of interest to the Woolf Institute.

"Content is already tedious to ensure accuracy, stop capturing the same information within different groups. EPC10 allows you to centralize it, share it, collaborate around it and provide relevant individualized views," Scott Armstrong.
Montreal, QC (PRWEB) June 01, 2017
The Enterprise Process Center® version 10 (EPC10) is the next generation of Interfacing's EPC platform, and has an overarching goal of building a process centric organization to increase agility and productivity. There is extreme pressure on companies to "Go Digital" and adapt their business models and offerings, or be left in the dust. Upper management's greatest challenge is that there is no clear guideline of how to get from point A to point B, meaning from strategy-to-execution. There is a big gap in the market where process knowledge is not being utilized enough (or at all) to render organizations more agile, focused or effective. EPC10 is a centralized platform that reaches beyond analysts, that is for everyone to collaborate and have a voice for change and improvement: strategists, analysts, decision makers and frontline workers alike. EPC10 provides the insight into operations necessary to streamline quality, increase productivity, reduce risk and maximize performance!
EPC 10's new user interface is designed with new innovative views to simplify navigation, reduce end user complexity and promote continuous improvement through user-friendly collaboration. EPC's data driven processes (vs. standard file based maps) allows for the unique flexibility to display information within multiple graph layouts and formats based on need and audience. Employees can navigate through simplified process maps and text based digital standard operating procedural work-instructions, operations team can monitor process performance, management can view the strategy map and business architecture, IT department can view detailed BPMN 2.0 maps with entity touchpoints for automation, and audit group can highlight process risks and analyze downstream impacts of law, regulation or control changes. EPC10's feature rich map settings provide maximum transparency and adaptability while enforcing security, governance and control.
"Content is already tedious to ensure accuracy, companies need to stop duplicating their effort by capturing the same information within different groups! EPC10 allows a user to centralize it, share it, collaborate around it and provide relevant individualized views; because without involvement and adoption, there will be no transformation!" says Scott Armstrong, Interfacing's Managing Partner.
Speed of access to knowledge is more important now than ever before. Today's population expects relevant and quality answers immediately with little to no effort to find them. EPC10 offers a personalized mobile-friendly employee portal, available anywhere 24/7 in the cloud and with quick "Google-like" full-text search and user-friendly filtering options for more advanced queries. Knowledge is no longer limited to documentation either; millennial culture is one of constant communication and sharing. EPC10's latest collaboration features are highly engaging to foster ongoing innovation and to establish a culture of transformation and continuous improvement.
Interfacing has invested three years of effort and tens of millions of dollars into its latest EPC10 platform, demonstrating Interfacing's ongoing commitment to sustain a leadership position and continuously innovate within the process management solution market. EPC10 still offers the same robust modeling, analysis & management capabilities as within past versions; however, the new platform is targeted at the everyday employee, because adoption, engagement and collaboration are key aspects of a successful transformation program.

Posted on Tuesday, August 26, 2014
I began my teaching career in 1997 after graduating from Mount San Antonio College. Teaching is my passion and I look forward to teaching at CrossPoint Children's Center. I have taught children of all different ages from infant/ toddler to First grade. "A great teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart." So often I have found in my years of teaching that the children I am trying to inspire are the ones that ended up inspiring me. All children need is to be loved and then they can move mountains.
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God." -John 4:7
"Let all that you do be done in love." -1 Corinthians 16:14

My Mum's inner strength never ceases to amaze me.
Following her bad seizure in February and being rendered immobile in its aftermath, today she has been able to get up from a. chair and walk around the physio gym with two of us. It made me really well up as I didn't expect her to be able to walk again or stand reliably even with two of us. She was just walking with two in the home prior to the seizure.
We have to celebrate these triumphs as it can all change in a blink of an eye as we know and I know that permanent immobility will happen. We've gone from the hoist to stand aid a couple of times to now assisted transfers in 2.5 months. If tomorrow she wakes up and that was it and the immobility is here for good I will never forget today and the smile on all our faces.

Quick-N-Easy Thanksgiving Placecard Holders
Preparing the table for Thanksgiving can be a family affair, even for the smallest children. These quick and easy Thanksgiving table decorations will help instill the value of hospitality and make people feel welcome!
Here is what you need:
• Small clear jars (Baby food jars work well. I used spice jars.)
• Thanksgiving stickers (Faith That Sticks Give Thanks to the Lord and Fall Fun)
• Craft sticks
• Colored pencils, markers, or crayons
• Ribbon
• Candy corn or multi colored popcorn kernels
Step 1:
Decorate the craft sticks with markers, crayons or colored pencils. Be sure to do both sides! Write the name of one guest on the end of each stick.
Step 2:
Apply stickers to the jars. There is no wrong way to do this. Be creative!
Step 3:
Tie a ribbon around the jar. It doesn't have to be fancy—a simple knot will work.
Step 4:
Fill each jar with candy corn or popcorn. If you're creating the placeholders with children, make this a learning activity. Practice fine motor skills or math skills by counting the number of candies or kernels for each jar.
Step 5:
Insert the craft stick into the jar and put on your table.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Pediatric Autoimmune Disease & Rheumatology
Pediatric Autoimmune Disease & Rheumatology
At UVA, we provide care for infants, children and teens with rheumatic diseases. Autoimmune (rheumatic) diseases occur when your immune system starts to attack your body's healthy cells, tissues and organs.
Although autoimmune disease is rare in children, many conditions have similar symptoms and diagnosis can be challenging.
We offer appointments through doctor referrals only.
Common Autoimmune Diseases
Common autoimmune diseases among children include:
- Celiac disease
- Graves' disease (hyperthyroidism)
- Juvenile dermatomyositis
- Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (juvenile idiopathic arthritis)
- Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes
- Scleroderma
- Sjögren's syndrome
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases
Your child may experience vague symptoms, including:
- Tiredness/fatigue
- Dizziness
- Rashes
- Weight loss
- Slight fever
- Diffuse joint pain
- Dry eyes/mouth
A Rare Disease
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), or Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare disease that causes blood vessel walls to become inflamed, called vasculitis. This limits blood flow to tissues and can affect any organ.
Without treatment, GPA can be fatal. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating this condition early to make sure your child's organs continue to work properly.
Medications can reduce your child's symptoms or slow the progression of the disease. In severe cases, your child may need a kidney transplant.

Already an avid outdoorsman, he quickly discovered a passion for nature photography and immersed himself into self-study of both the technical and artistic aspects of the craft. Eventually, his work transformed from simply recording nature for his own enjoyment to creating works of art in an effort to bring awareness of this great land we live in to a much larger audience. In 2007, Guy took a leap of faith and relocated from the Upper Midwest to southwest Colorado and finally Sedona, Arizona, giving up a long career in the software development industry to forge a new one as a professional photographer. He traveled the west and immersed himself in the wondrous and diverse landscape that uniquely defines this part of the country. Eventually, he found his work being represented by several art galleries and published in magazines, calendars, and a wide variety of advertising materials. Notable clients include Backpacker Magazine, Arizona Highways Magazine, The Wilderness Society, AAA, Smith-Southwestern Publishing, Colorado Life Magazine, and many others. For those who desire to view his work in the form of fine art prints, Guy exhibits his work at various art festivals throughout Arizona. Guy utilizes the latest in digital photography technology to produce imagery of the utmost vibrancy and clarity. He takes special pride in ensuring a scene is optimally captured in camera and then works to bring out its subtle nuances back in the "digital darkroom". He also takes pride in printing much of his own work, as it allows for total control over the artistic process from shutter snap to final print. Guy can often be found plying his craft at countless scenic locales throughout Sedona, the Desert Southwest, and beyond in a never ending search for the perfect combination of light and landscape. © 2008-2017 Guy Schmickle - Explore The Light Photography Powered by ZENFOLIO User Agreement Cancel Continue

CRTC report irresponsible: CAB
If the regulator's simultaneous rights policy were eliminated, Canadians could watch US shows on US networks.
The Canadian Association of Broadcasters is up in arms about a recent report suggesting that restrictions should be placed on a network's right to simultaneously broadcast American TV shows during prime time. 'We believe the report's far-reaching recommendations, if not properly applied, could fundamentally undermine the foundation of the Canadian broadcasting industry,' says CAB president/CEO Glenn O'Farrell.
'Simultaneous substitution is a mechanism of fundamental importance,' he added. 'To remove this mechanism would effectively expropriate rights holders. It is irresponsible to suggest such a recommendation without any rationale demonstrating an understanding of the economic underpinnings of the industry.'
Under current CRTC rules, when a Canadian net buys the rights to broadcast an American show, its over-the-air signal replaces that of the US network. The practice generates millions annually – but hurts Canadian content, which tends to get shuffled into marginal time slots, says a CRTC-commissioned report authored by communications lawyers Laurence Dunbar and Christian Leblanc and released last Thursday (see www.mediaincanada.com/articles/mic/20070914/crtc.html?word=crtc).
Canada's largest actors union, ACTRA, welcomes the report's findings. 'This is really the first glimmer of hope we've had in a long time; we are really quite pleased,' says Stephen Waddell, ACTRA's national executive director. 'The broadcasters have made billions in revenue piggybacking on US product. It's time for (them) to wean themselves from this regulatory benefit.'
Waddell says he is pleased the authors took a hard look at what passes for Canadian content on most networks, such as reality TV and entertainment news. 'This report validates what we've been saying for five years. The CRTC's 1999 Television Policy is a failure. Canadian TV drama is important.'
The CRTC will consider the report during a review of its broadcasting policy in January 2008.

|MPs appalled as weapons continue to be seized at Bradford courts
MPs appalled as weapons continue to be seized at Bradford courts
MPs across the district have reacted with horror at the high number of knives which are continuing to be seized from people on their way into Bradford's two court buildings.
A total of 126 knives were confiscated from people during security searches over the course of a year, the Telegraph & Argus can reveal.
Keighley MP Kris Hopkins called the figures "an appalling discovery", while Bradford East MP Imran Hussain said it was clear the courts' security gates were proving no deterrent to people carrying knives, and that he would now raise the matter with Justice Secretary Michael Gove.
Last year, the Telegraph & Argus revealed people tried and failed to smuggle more than 170 knives into the Combined Court and the Bradford and Keighley Magistrates' Courts buildings over a 12-month period.
Now new data, released to the T&A under the Freedom of Information Act for 2014/15, shows there is still a high number of knives being seized at the buildings' security gates.
At Bradford Combined Court in Drake Street, which contains Crown and County Courts, guards found six knives with blades larger than 3ins - the legal limit for a knife carried in public - as well as 98 smaller knives while searching people and bags.
They also found 114 tools which were deemed to pose a potential hazard, as well as 88 sharps.
Meanwhile, at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates' Court and Family Court in The Tyrls, guards found 22 knives, including one with a blade larger than 3ins.
They also seized 16 sharps and 51 tools deemed hazardous.
Mr Hussain, Labour MP for Bradford East, who trained as a barrister, said: "Although it is clear that security at the courts is proving to be effective in preventing weapons and other items from being taken into the buildings, it is evident from the high number of items seized that it is not deterring individuals from bringing such items in the first place, despite it being apparent to any reasonable person that they will be caught.

Thank you for your ASPCA Guardian membership! Your monthly gifts allow us to continue our life-saving efforts for animals in need across the country. It is important to us that you're comfortable with your level of giving, so we made it easy for you to make updates to your account as needed. You can use these forms below to change your current monthly gift amount, suspend or cancel your monthly payments. For questions and other account requests, please call the ASPCA Guardian Hotline at (800) 628-0028.
ASPCA Guardian Hotline: (800) 628-0028
Please use this number to update your credit card or bank information, to change your payment type, verify check receipt, update your address information, or for any other ASPCA Guardian member-related matters. Please have your member ID number handy for fastest service.
Exclusive Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
We've put together some of the more commonly asked questions about ASPCA Guardian monthly giving! Of course, if you have a question not covered here, please feel free to contact: (800) 628-0028. Please be sure to have your membership ID number handy for fastest service.
Q: How do I make changes to my account?
A: It's easy! Use the buttons above or call (800) 628-0028 if you wish to change your monthly giving amount, suspend or cancel your monthly payments. Changes to your Guardian membership can take up to 30 days to take effect.
Q: I currently send you a check every month. How do I go about having automatic deductions from my checking account?
A: Just fill out the EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) section on the back of your ASPCA Guardian statement and return it with your pledge. Be sure to check off the change of payment type box on the front of your statement too before sending it back in the envelope provided.
Q: I'm a check writer and my statement shows two open months—the current and the last–but I never miss a month. What does this mean?
A: The current one is always open due to it being the reminder. If your previous check was deposited after the 20th, then it missed the statement printing deadline and will appear on the next statement. It really just boils down to timing and is not a reflection of your commitment, or our bookkeeping.
Q: Can I stop whenever I want?
A: Monthly support is greatly appreciated, but we understand if canceling is necessary. You can click on the "Cancel Monthly Pledge" button above, or call (800) 628-0028. Please allow 30 days for the change to take effect.
Q: I've been an ASPCA Guardian for several months, but have not received any letters verifying my donations for tax purposes. Will I be receiving one?
A: Yes, ASPCA Guardians receive one statement reflecting the prior year's total contributions. (Please note that this statement will not contain donations made to our regular or other restricted funds.) This statement is usually mailed in February.
Q: Can I request that my monthly gifts go to a specific fund?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot allocate your money to a restricted fund. We can assure you that your monthly gifts are going to the areas of greatest need, and helping the ASPCA in all its many programs and efforts.
Q: I signed up to be a credit card ASPCA Guardian, but I'm still receiving a monthly statement and no charges have appeared on my credit card. Why is that?
A: ASPCA Guardian transactions take place once per month. Therefore, depending on when your request was received/processed, it can take up to a month and a half for you to see a charge appear on your card and for the statements to stop. If it's been longer than that, please bring it to our attention so we can look into the situation for you.
Q: I'm an ASPCA Guardian, but I am receiving renewal notices. Aren't I considered a member?
A: You may have a duplicate record in our database or you may have joined the ASPCA Guardian program after the renewal mailing was prepared. If you receive more than one renewal notice please call us at (800) 628-0028 and we will look into this for you.

Hipster Vibes
I wore this outfit to the Crab Fest while in Savannah this past weekend.
Even though the crochet top is almost sweater like I was not hot at all. The loose knitting is very breathable and air flows through it very well.
Crochet Top / Shorts / Hat
Photography by Sharon Bui
I was going through my picture's and realized I enjoyed my trip! I don't have many picture's of Savannah other than the beach. We were defiantly living it up! Don't miss my recap as well as tips for visiting Savannah, here
Being back at work is an adjustment. I could not wake up and all I keep thinking about it running back to the beach. The weather in Savannah and on Tybee Island were just amazing. I swear when we got home it was hotter in Chapel Hill than it was down there!
I will say my vacation was made easy by using Airbnb, Uber, and Relay Foods. Yup, Relay! We got home and I just crashed, since I placed my grocery order while on the beach I didn't have to worry if we would have anything for dinner. Relay came around 5 the day we got home and unloaded my groceries for me. I was able to unpack. rest, and get prepared for the work week ahead without stressing about going to the grocery store.
Next week is my Birthday Week. Come by and see what fun things I have planned!

We Bought a Zoo (PG/124 Min.)
Lions and tigers and bears oh my! Go see this movie!!! I went with my mom, dad and PT and we all loved it. I've been unable to go to the theater this month (except one visit to the OKCMOA) so I'm so glad I enjoyed the one mainstream movie I was finally able to see.
If you haven't heard about this movie yet it's based on the true story of a man (Benjamin Mee) who decides to move out of his neighborhood after his son, Dylan, is expelled from school. He and his daughter, Rosie, spend hours looking for a new home and both fall in love with the same house as soon as they see it. Unfortunately, the house shares the land with a zoo. Benjamin decides to give it a chance and the adventure begins. If you have heard of it already, the description is still the same.
Matt Damon plays the part of Benjamin, a man who lost his wife six months ago and is trying to be the best dad he can. Matt needs to be a dad in more movies. I am in love with his character. For today anyway. I'll love someone else tomorrow. My dad is doing some reading about the real Mee family and has just informed me that the mom died of a brain tumor three months after they bought the zoo. Sad.
Scarlett Johansson plays the part of Kelly, the zookeeper. I didn't much care for Scarlett in the first few of her movies that I saw but I've liked her more and more as her career has progressed. She is sweet and serious and funny in this film. Even though my heart broke when she had to stand up to Benjamin regarding one of the animals I still loved her for it.
The children are played by Colin Ford (Dylan) and Maggie Elizabeth Jones (Rosie). Dylan is 14 and was forced to grow up too fast when he watched his mom struggle through her illness. He's sad, sullen and in major need of a good talking to. You know it's gonna happen. It's just a matter of when. Rosie is 7 and is a little ray of sunshine through the entire movie. I was so glad we never had to see her cry. I don't think I could've taken it. Unfortunately, sweet little Rosie says one of a few bad words in the movie. I kinda wonder, though, if the real little Mee said the same thing and that's why it was included.
I pretty much liked all of the characters in We Bought a Zoo except for the guy who had to inspect the zoo before it could re-open. He was a jerk and a pig. But that was the point. Rosie's one bad word was aimed at him.
At times during the movie the animals stole the scene. Buster, the bear and Spar, the tiger were my favorites. And Crystal, the Capuchin was so sweet. I want to own a zoo.
And now for the breakdown..
Cussing - Yes. This is one of the only things that bothered me since this is a family film. $#!+ is the favorite and both kids use bad words. I'm not condoning what Dylan said but I'm really not surprised he said it.
Drinking/Drugs - No drugs but quite a bit of drinking.
Sex/Nudity - None at all.
Violence - Nope.
Intense scenes - Just two. I won't tell you what happens but one involves snakes and the other involves a lion, a busted lock and a man inside the lion enclosure. This second scene includes PT's favorite line of the film, "I'm full of Scotch, bitterness and impure thoughts." She has said this repeatedly since we left the theater.
Who would I recommend this to? Pretty much anyone but with the warning to parents regarding the cussing and drinking. It is such a good family movie if not for that. I will definitely buy the Blu-Ray/DVD when it comes out and might just go see it at the theater again. Mainly to help their standing at the box office. And ladies, if you're having trouble getting your guy to go with you because he thinks it's a chick flick you can assure them that the mush is kept to a minimum.
Finally, I just wanted to mention that the final scene is now one of my favorite movie endings and the reason I'm now in love with Matt Damon. Go see this!
P.S. If you like animals as much as I (and pretty much all my family) do you may need Kleen-Ex. PT commented as we were leaving that she noticed I had cried. A few minutes later she admitted to doing the same after mom said that she had cried too. But, rest assured that this doesn't last long. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll leave happy.

Post up some strategies on leveling up for novice players or for other people that screwed up in Final Fantasy VII and just realized that they should start again with some leveling up to do. I speak out of experience. Anyways, post up some tips if you know any. Here's my strategy and probably others: when you finally get to explore the Final Fantasy VII world, find the giant serpent and kill him for big beginner XP. It's worth a shot.

I was honored that they wanted me to be a part of their post so of course I said yes.

I think this is a great question and wanted to share ... View Post
Best Toddler Apps
A couple of weeks ago a girlfriend of mine texted and asked for a list of all of our son's favorite iPad apps. I had to stop for a second and think...didn't I write a post about the best toddler apps? After realizing that I have lost my mind and didn't actually write this post already, I figured I better sit down and get them written down. We were very reluctant to let our son use our devices ...

text: So, I had the misfortune, once again, of actually clicking a "Trending" article on Facebook – to be realistic, these "trending" articles are nothing more than free advertising for left leaning media outlets, peddling their propaganda – but, regardless I clicked one. It was in regards to President Trump wanting to, get this, send food to current food stamp recipients. Oh my GOD. How outrageous! How can they THINK to do something like send FOOD to the hungry?

Hi! I'm Heidi--I'm a modern-day homesteader starting out in middle age! I'm all about plant medicine, raising animals for love & food, preparedness, traditional food practices, and being a natural health rebel for life! Join me on this journey!
These are all items I've used and have found great value from. Some of them are affiliate links, and if you make a purchase, I might receive a small commission that won't cost you anything. If I have them listed here, it's because they work for me!
Here are the categories you can find here: Making Soap, Using Herbs & Essential Oils, Traditional Skills (Fermentation, Cooking, Cheese Making, etc.), Budgeting, General Homesteading (Livestock, Off-Grid, etc.).
Jan Berry, over at the Nerdy Farm Wife, is an expert at artisanal cold process soap making, and her directions are incredible. Her photos are drool-worthy too!
If you want to learn how to make hot process soap, you'll need to take a look at my own book. I wrote this book because I prefer hot process soap making to cold process soap making, and there just wasn't a lot of clear information about the process. So...Here you go!
And here are some Amazon links to Soap Making books I have and use all the time too:
For courses I've taken, I'm a fan of the Herbal Academy of New England. I've taken (or am taking) a total of four of their courses, including The Craft of Herbal Fermentation, The Intermediate Herbalism Course, The Advanced Herbalism Course, and the Using Herbs for Stress Management Course. I highly recommend starting with this school if you're interested in learning how plants can help your health! There are many more courses other than the ones I listed above!
I love growing my own herbs, but I live in a pretty rough desert environment, so I can't grow everything I want. Also, it's time consuming, and sometimes I need an herb right away. My favorite place to shop is Starwest Botanicals. They have a wide variety of culinary and medicinal herbs in different amounts for your convenience. Their herbs are high quality, and shipping is fast!
For soap making, I get my essential oils from Starwest Botanicals. I like them for making soap because I'm getting a quality essential oil at prices that are not completely off the charts. I've tried less expensive oils, and there's a big difference in quality.
For therapeutic use (application directly on the skin or diffusing for health), I up the ante even more when it comes to quality. I use doTERRA essential oils almost exclusively for health reasons. And...I use them every day. I happen to be a distributor, but that's because I get a huge discount and free essential oils. Let me know if you are interested in joining me! No pressure to sell.
If you love eBooks, then here are some links to some AWESOME bundles through the Ultimate Bundles group. They've kindly made some of their bundled eBooks available again!
The reason I love bundles like these is that you can purchase a TON of eBooks for one low price, then pick and choose which ones you want to download and use. You'll more than get your money's worth: I promise that! I've never once been disappointed in one of their bundles.
The Herbs & Essential Oils Super Bundle
This one is not herb or health related, but I'm including it here because it's really good: The Conquer Your Clutter Super Bundle
Wardeh Harmon has developed a series of courses for learning traditional cooking skills for your and your family's health. Here is a link to one of her blog posts at her amazing school: How to Get Started with Traditional Foods.

Shuja Rabbani becomes Afghanistan's first celebrity, only verified Instagram user
By Ghanizada - Thu Oct 27 2016, 5:09 pm
A prominent Afghan artist and influential social media activist has become the first celebrity from Afghanistan to get a verified Instagram account.
The verification of Rabbani's account on Instagram, one f the most powerful social media platforms, comes as another milestone for Rabbani's personal branding as the music producer also received the blue tick from Facebook and announced the verification in a recent tweet.
Rabbani is currently amongst the top Twitter users in Afghanistan and he is known for self-expression beyond the art of music production, according to an press release.
Rabbani is also an active blogger and one of Afghanistan's few English writers who engages in humanitarian and political discussions.
"I am aware that several Hollywood celebrities have shut down their social media accounts due to hate messages and cyber bullying, and while I am nowhere near as popular as they are on social media, I am not exempted from online harassment either. I have had my share of aggressive cyber bullies from Afghanistan sending hateful tweets from anonymous accounts – however, I made up my mind long ago that I was not going to give up and I am very happy today to see that my resilience has paid off and I get to have the last laugh," says Rabbani in reference to the challenges of living a public life under the scrutiny of a conservative Afghan society.
Earlier this year, Rabbani released his second LP album titled 'Alpha Male' thorough his self-owned record label Rabbani Records. The combined views on videos for his two promotional singles from the album have reached over 1.5 million viewers on the Internet, a staggering figure in comparison to the international outreach and musical appeal by other artists from Afghanistan.
On his Twitter account, Rabbani is frequently seen publishing poll tweets that have, at times, garnered over 50,000 participants in less than 24-hours. His Twitter and Instagram accounts are followed by a handful of Hollywood celebrities, internationally renowned journalists and media personalities, and Ambassadors from around the world. In his recent social media posts, Rabbani has hinted he is currently working on a new album with expected release in 2017.
Shuja Rabbani is an Electronic Dance Music producer from Afghanistan who is currently based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He is a frequent blogger on political topics concerning Afghanistan and his opinion pieces have been published in international news websites.
His music is available in over 200 digital outlets including iTunes, Tidal, Spotify, Amazon and Beatport, and he is amongst the few names in Middle East's music industry to be established as an independent record label.

Hitman dev IO Interactive is cutting half of its staff and cancelling all of its projects except for Hitman.
IO Interactive has released a new trailer for Hitman 5.
Stealth games are dying out. Ironically, you might not have noticed.
Death to Spies: Moment of Truth is an attempt to bring the freeform assassination gameplay of Hitman to the World War II setting. Unfortunately the concept is only half-baked, with thoughtless and lazy game design compounding boring graphics and a drab story.
IO Interactive has confirmed that a new Hitman game will be out next year and that it won't be attached to the new Hitman film.
Eidos may have only just been bought out by Square Enix, but the company is still staying true to its core franchises. Perhaps too true...
With a blockbuster story and a frentic co-op campaign, it looks like the new game from the developers of Hitman may be an underground hit on the Xbox 360 - but it has to get the bit-tech seal of approval first, so check out our thoughts on the game.

A drastic change in the trade strategy of foreign traders, mostly Chinese ones, caused many Vietnamese farmers and enterprises to suffer losses, said member of the National Assembly Committee for Social Affairs Dang Thuan Phong as quoted in Thoi bao kinh te Viet Nam (Viet Nam Economics Times)
He gave the example of the coconut exports turnover in the Mekong delta province of Ben Tre in the first five months, which was just 20 per cent of that in the same period last year.
In southern Vinh Long Province, many farmers who grow Japanese sweet potatoes are facing losses because of the price decline; the current price is one-fourth of last year's price.
According to the province's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, of the 9,255ha of sweet potatoes in Vinh Long, 70 per cent are of the Japanese sweet-potato variety. Previously, Chinese traders bought about 500-600 tonnes of Japanese sweet potatoes a day in Vinh Long but now the traders' purchases have dropped by 40-50 per cent, according to local traders who used to sell sweet potatoes to the Chinese agents.
Phong said that in both cases, farmers with large quantities of farming products in stock were forced to sell at lower prices right in their fields. So, he urged measures to better protect Vietnamese farmers in the game with foreign partners.
Similar situations happened to growers and enterprises with other farming products, including rice and pineapple.
Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang said that under Viet Nam's Law on Commerce, foreign traders without business entities in Viet Nam may not collect or purchase products for import /export if they do not establish trade relations with domestic enterprises that will directly do business activities.
To those which have business entities in Viet Nam, such as FDI companies with business licences or foreign companies which establish branches in the country, they still need Vietnamese enterprises to work with domestic farmers and producers.
It was illegal if foreign traders came and directly participated in the collection and purchase of farming products, Hoang said, adding that the violations were found in some localities.
The minister also said that due to improper information about the Chinese market, farming products were, in some cases, transported to the borderline but Chinese partners refused to import or only accepted to pay low prices.
He urged local authorities, enterprises and farmers to inspect and report violations for timely warnings and punishments.
He also said that the country would improve legal framework relating to activities of foreign businessmen in Viet Nam.
Early this week, Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai asked the Industry and Trade Minister to compile a circular about the trading of farming products by foreign traders in Viet Nam.
The circular expected to be completed this quarter, will help authorities better oversee and prevent violations affecting domestic farmers and enterprises in trading with foreign traders.
Researcher Tran Cong Thang, head of the Strategy and Policy Research Division,under the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development, said that since the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement was signed in 2004, th import value of Vietnamese farming produce to China has increased with an average yearly growth rate of 19.27 per cent.
As China was a major importer of Viet Nam's farming products such as rubber, cassava, and fruit, heavy reliance on the Chinese market brought negative impacts to domestic market, Thang said.
He noted that in the last few years, Chinese traders penetrated the domestic market to seek and purchase farming products while previously, Vietnamese traders usually transported the products to the borderlines and sold to Chinese traders.
"The penetration sometimes throws the domestic market out of control as prices are pushed up and farmers are lured to produce to meet a higher demand," he said, adding that farmers in many cases suffered losses because of declining demand.
Moreover, it also posed tougher competition to domestic traders, he said.
He recommended that a timely and careful study of Chinese market was crucial to avoid oversupply.
"Viet Nam needs to diversify and improve the quality of products for export to reduce its reliance on China's demand and better access other markets," he said. — VNS

Mascot Logo
With this adobe photoshop tutorial you can create a company logo or mascot. It uses simliar vector style
techniques to give clean lines. I used adobe photoshop 7.
you can probably use older versions as well.
1- Ok, we will try to design our own vector mascot logo. Since i attend Sacramento State University, i will
be using the school mascot Hornet as my basis of design. mines will look simliar to Sac's Hornet, but not quite.
so to start off, lets design the body of the hornet. click on the PEN tool and
draw out a rough lower sketch of the lower body of the hornet.
2- Next we will have to smooth out the curves to the body so it is not so angler, however, it may look nice
as angles instead of smooth lines; it is your choice. to smooth out the curves, click on the ADD ANCHOR option in the PEN tool,
and make several achors around the body and jsut smooth it. you may need to delete anchor points as well.
just experiment a little here before moving on.
3- Ok now, we will add a middle area to the body using the CIRCLE shape tool.
4- next, we will once again use the PEN tool to draw out the head, the wings, and the legs. same technique as before should be
used to accomplish this. then once again smooth it out with the PEN ADD/SUBTRACT ANCHOR options.
5- now we are almost done, thats fast huh?! to make the logo stand out more, lets add some bold lines to accent the inside of the hornet.
here you can use numerous techiques, liek paint brush, shape tools, or PEN tool. i used all three. this section takes a lot of patience!
6- to finish off this piece, lets add a shadow effects and a stroke effect to let the logo stand out
against a white background.
7- You are done, i added a Sac State logo in the background just for kicks. This is how mines
turned out (CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE)

I have big plans for 2016. BIG. I'm planning on sticking to my resolutions and being able to look back on New Years Eve and know that I have accomplished my goals. Here they are:
- Finish what I start. Home projects, lofty ideas, cleaning…..whatever I start doing, I plan to finish. Nothing will be left for "another time".
- Work towards a healthier me. I have already started at the gym, now it's to eat more like I feed my son, who happens to be a fabulous, and very healthy eater, naturally.
- Keep those that are important to our family close. No more time for people who don't have time for us, feel like an obligation, or create an aura of negativity. All done with that.
- Start my son in full-time kindergarten this fall and not completely fall apart. Hey, I'm human.
What are your goals this year? Share them with us! Perhaps I'll be inspired to add another to my list and join you!
xoxo – Joyfully Mom

I have read many, many articles, cookbooks and pieces of advice on living cheaply. Most of them turned out to be nonsense. Most weeks my food budget is £20 for 3 people –that includes toiletries and household products –some weeks it's less. If my questionable maths is correct, that's 95p per person per day. As a consequence I'm a highly creative cook, and I hope this blog will show an honest representation about how people on a low budget cook, some tips, and actual meals by someone who knows how much things are (have you seen how much smoked salmon actually is, Jamie Oliver?)
So, I thought I'd start with my top 8 tips:
1) Plan
I used to plan a loose menu when I was a student, and everyone thought I was crazy. I now plan menus meticulously, that's not to say things can't change if I find something better, but I more of less know what I'll be eating all week. I know someone who spends over £100 a week to feed a family of four, she just throws everything in a trolley when shopping and wonders why she spends so much.
2) Learn to cook
I know this sounds obvious, but if you learn some basic dishes – like a tomato pasta sauce – you can customise it and take those skills to other dishes.
3) Stay away from leftovers
My biggest vice has always been picking at leftovers. Tell yourself strictly that leftovers are for the following days and even hide them from yourself if you have to.
4) Only buy what you need
If you're one person and you're making a salad – buy one tomato. If you're not going to use them, then you're wasting money on a pack of 6.
5) Colour is tasty
I used to know someone whose 'budget dish' was potato waffles and super noodles. She would swear by the bizarre beige gloopy mess, whilst I will sit and judge eating my student budget dish of choice – baked beans and pasta. Mine may not have been any better, but at least there was colour in my dish. I stand by colour always being better – throw in tomatoes, or add green veg on the side.
6) Experiment
Every good thing comes from trial and error, can you stir fry parsnips? Not really, but hey I tried and found out. This comes back to knowing some basic skills – the more you know, the more confident you'll feel to play around.
7) Know where to spend money
I'd much rather spend money on higher quality meat than the value equivalent – I once saw Tesco value chicken wings which were so feathered, I thought they were going to start flapping. Similarly, if you know that you like a certain brand of something that you're not willing to replace – I'm very fussy over sweetcorn – then spend the money on what you're going to eat.
8) Learn to recognise deals which are actually worth your while
7 kilograms of potatoes for £5.Can you use 7kilos of potatoes before they go off? With meat deals and fruit, you can freeze what you don't need. Be wary.
