A great baby crib cushion not just makes going to bed cozier for your infant, it likewise sustains his expanding bones. Exactly what makes a cushion great is an issue of choice. Take into consideration expense, convenience, and durability as your youngster will likely oversleep his baby crib for approximately 3 years. You could intend to think of benefit, too; lots of moms and dads find the most convenient means to alter baby crib bed linens is to get rid of the cushion from the baby crib each time.
You'll have 2 kinds of baby crib mattress to select in between – foam and innerspring:.
– Foam cushions Lots of moms and dads like foam cushions, made from either polyester or polyether, since they consider much less compared to innerspring cushions. This could be essential when you're altering dirtied sheets at 3 a.m. plus, foam pads are cheaper compared to innerspring cushions.
http://www.memoryfoammattress-guide.org/labor-day-sales-memory-foam-mattresses/ Foam baby crib mattress are readily available in a range of densities. Thicker is not always much better; thickness is most crucial. The far better foam cushions are high-density, concerning 1.5 extra pounds each cubic foot. A lot of foam cushions do not checklist thickness on the packaging, so it's tough to recognize precisely just what you're obtaining.
– Innerspring baby crib cushions Some moms and dads select coil cushions over foam due to the fact that they keep their form much longer (though a high-density foam cushion will likely use just too). Makers correspond the variety of coils in an innerspring mattress with total suppleness. Variables like the variety of turns each coil and the mood of the cord likewise add to the suppleness. It's a smart idea to search for mattress with a minimum of 150 coils.
Just what are the appropriate concerns to ask when you get Tempurpedic mattress:.
– Is it the best size? If you could fit 2 fingers easily in between the mattress and the side of the baby crib then the mattress is too little, which indicates your infant can asphyxiate if he drops in between the cushion and the side of the baby crib.
– Is it firm? Press the mattress at the sides and facility to check its suppleness. Firm excels. Some instances of abrupt baby fatality disorder have been connected to soft bed linen. Take a look athttp://www.mattress-inquirer.com/best-rated-memory-foam-mattresses/in order to evaluate your needs.
– Is the ticking (cushion cover) durable? For water-resistance, seek dual- or triple-laminated ticking enhanced with nylon. This make-up is additionally a lot more immune to splits and openings.
– Exists enough airing vent? A cushion will scent fresher if it has a lot of duct openings, which enable smells to leave.

How to make Potato Gnocchi? It can be prepared with just a little effort. This recipe is a classic recipe, with variations. Whenever you add ingredients to gnocchi dough, they won't be quite as ethereal, but will be fluffy and flavorful. Here are ingredients and directions.
THIS RECIPE MAKES: 4 servings
COOK TIME: 11/2 hours
Herb Gnocchi.
Add 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs, like basil, parsley, mint, dill, chives, or chervil, and mix in with the mashed or riced potatoes.
Spinach Gnocchi.
Add 10 ounces fresh spinach or 5 ounces frozen spinach and a pinch of nutmeg if you like. Stem and wash the fresh spinach; steam it, then drain, squeeze (get as much water out as possible), and chop it very fine. Add it to the potatoes along with the nutmeg.
Sweet Potato or Butternut Squash Gnocchi.
Substitute sweet potatoes or butternut squash for the potatoes. It's best to roast or steam the sweet potatoes or squash, because they will absorb too much water if boiled. You can microwave the sweet potatoes too. If you're using butternut squash, add an egg and mix it in with the mashed squash; you will likely need more flour too.
Follow the directions carefully and you will be amazed how good this recipe is. Hope you like this Potato Gnocchi recipe and Bon Apetit.

I've known about the infamous Burke and Wills expedition for as long as I can remember. Yet I have always resisted the story until I realised I was doing that primarily for silly nationalistic reasons: the leader of the failed expedition, Robert O'Hara Burke was a vainglorious fool from Ireland. His superior attitudes caused him and his men to starve when native people around him thrived in that harsh environment. It was Irish racism I didn't want to acknowledge.
But my indifference to the Victorian Exploring Expedition of 1860-1861 was slowly worn away as it intersected with another study in 19th century Australian exploring failure: the disappearance of Ludwig Leichhardt a decade earlier, and in the same part of the world. I was also lucky enough to visit the Dig Tree in 2011. I lapped up the great narrative of Burke and Wills and its bad luck and "what if" moments. The final nail in the coffin of my uncaring was a move to Mount Isa this year. I cover much of the country the expedition charted, a thousand kilometres from Birdsville in the centre to Karumba on the Gulf. I am reminded of Burke and Wills whenever I drive between Isa and Cloncurry with a monument to them at Corella Creek. So I revisited the story via Sarah Murgatroyd's excellent book The Dig Tree. The book too was a tragedy as the young BBC reporter was diagnosed with cancer while she researched it. She died in 2002 three weeks after the book was published, aged just 34.
Her story begins at a time when European Australians hugged the coast. The interior was a vast unknown. Explorers like Eyre on the Nullarbor in 1841 and Leichhardt in north Queensland in 1844-45 never went far inland. Leichhardt may later have drifted inwards but his disappearance merely added to the mystery of the "dead heart" of an inhospitable continent. Charles Sturt ventured into the Simpson Desert until defeated by vast gibber plains, giving his name to Sturt's Stony Desert. Yet as the 1850s progressed, the confident new gold-rich colony of Victoria decided to flex its muscles and launch a search for Leichhardt. As one newspaper said, that the interior of the continent should remain a mystery was a reproach "to the Australian communities in general but especially to Victoria".
There was a second practical reason for opening up the centre. The telegraph was turning the world into a global village but Australia remained isolated. The race was on to see which southern city would be the terminus for a cable to the northern shoreline and on to south-east Asia. South Australia had the advantage of being the first port of call of ships and also the most direct line to the north but Victoria was leading the challenge from the other colonies.
The Victorian Exploration Committee decided to solve the problem of crossing the continent with camels and imported two dozen Indian camels from horse trader George Landells. But the expedition spluttered due to lack of funds, and South Australia got the jump, thanks to dour Scotsman, John McDouall Stuart. Stuart travelled to Cooper Creek with his near-namesake Sturt in 1844, giving him a taste for inland exploration. From 1845 to 1858 Stuart tried farming and ended up as a surveyor with the knack of finding good pastures in rough country.
He was dispatched to disprove the theory there was salt lakes to the north that would halt South Australia's expansion. Travelling light, he discovered the area around Coober Pedy until low food supplies forced him back via new country on the Nullarbor Plain. A year later Stuart found a chain of springs north of Lake Eyre with a ready supply of fresh water, which led him on to the interior supported by a grateful colony. When South Australia offered a prize for the first person to cross the continent, it re-awoke Victorian ambitions and sparked a search to find an expedition leader. The response was poor and the committee bickered over candidates. Stuart set off again in March 1860, determined to collect the South Australian prize.
Victoria finally came up with a shortlist, and on it was Castlemaine police superintendent Robert O'Hara Burke, recommended by a fellow officer. The committee wasted three months trying to split the candidates, and the camels did not arrive from India until June. Finally they chose Burke, who had never been beyond the settled parts of Victoria and who was notorious for getting lost coming home from the pub.
Burke was a Galway Protestant who served for the Catholic Austrian army where he cultivated a rakish image. But when he went AWOL, he faced court martial and resigned. He joined the Irish police until he moved to Melbourne in 1853 to help a Victorian police force desperate to impose order on lawless goldfields. Burke was eccentric but popular with subordinates and took an active part in country life. He struck up a relationship with young actress Julia Matthews though her mother took her away to Melbourne. Burke had better luck cultivating important friendships including committee chair Sir William Stawell.
Burke was appointed leader of a ragtag expedition which gathered in Melbourne in July 1860. Burke chose men with the right connections rather than exploring experience. One of the few good decisions was to appoint 26-year-old Englishman William Wills as surveyor only one who could navigate. Camel man Landells was second in command. Burke's official instructions were to set up a depot at Cooper Creek which Sturt found, and then travel north to Leichhardt's track. On August 20, the expedition with its exotic camels was like a circus leaving town and travelled just 11kms to Essendon. Three men were sacked before they left Royal Park leaving a team of 19, all without experience in the inland.
The expedition ran into heavy rain as it moved slowly through Victorian villages making camp gear sodden and grinding the wagons to a halt. It was also dangerous to ride the camels. By the time they got to the Terrick-Terrick Plains near the Murray River leadership tensions emerged. Burke left the camels and the running of the camp to Landells while he found the nearest pub or farmhouse instead of camping. Locals crowded the camp but also took advantage to overcharge for fodder and accommodation. At Swan Hill Burke realised the expedition would have to shed baggage. He decided to set up a new depot at Menindee on the Darling and the team was reduced to 14.
The bad weather continued as they entered NSW and Burke dismissed three more at Balranald. He took a short cut to Menindee through rugged Mallee country which exhausted his draught horses. Rather than save time, the forward party had to cross the country three times to rescue the wagons. From there on, the party would walk. Landells complained the camels were overloaded before reaching the desert and was reproached for the rum he brought, supposedly as a camel pick-me-up.
Burke arrived in Menindee on October 14, Landells and the camels a day later. When he arrived Burke ordered new second-in-command Wills to tell Landells he was fired. Landells stormed off to Melbourne where he began to trash Burke's reputation. Menindee, in Baagandji country, was the edge of European settlement. It relied on a fortnight steamboat service to bring up supplies from Adelaide and send back wool. The expedition was heading 600km north to Cooper Creek in the hottest time of the year. Burke split his expedition taking seven men and three-quarters of the horses and camels with him. He was determined to head to the Gulf and become the first man to cross the continent. The rest would wait in Menindee for further instructions.
Burke took local bushman William Wright as a guide and third-in-command, and after 10 days reached Torowoto Swamp 250km north of Menindee. Burke ordered Wright to return to Menindee and bring up the remainder of the camp while Burke continued to Cooper Creek. After 23 days they reached the creek system and summer rains made it a rich green environment which reminded Wills fancifully of England. The creek was the home of the Yawarrawarrka and Yandruwandha peoples who lived in temporary wurley shelters moving as water and food supplies allowed. They feasted on birds, lizards, marsupials and snakes but relied on native plants such as mulga apples, native figs and an aquatic fern called nardoo which had seeds they ground into a paste and baked.
Burke's party knew none of this but they found a magnificent waterhole where they camped without permission. Wills said natives gesticulated when they approached a waterhole but the visitors made no effort to establish relations. Lack of local knowledge would eventually cost the party dearly. Exploratory sorties found no obvious way north and Wills almost died when camel took off 130km from the Creek, leaving a long thirsty walk back. A plague of native rats gnawed their gear forcing Burke to move to Depot 65, where the Dig Tree now stands. They waited in vain for Wright to bring the camp up. The Menindee crew refused to accept Wright's authority and letters to Melbourne went unanswered. An impatient Burke decided to dash to the Gulf. On December 16, 1860 he left William Brahe in charge of Depot 65 and took six camels, one horse and three men (Wills, John King and Charles Gray) with him. Burke asked Brahe to stay three months at Cooper Creek but Wills pleaded with him to stay four months if possible. The expedition had now divided into three.
The forward party followed the Creek north before hitting the gibber plains. They travelled as far as possible before the day heated up. Then they would rest in the camels' shadow before continuing in the evening. Each night King laboriously hacked the letter B and the camp number into the bark of a tree. The former Irish soldier was Landell's recruit and his dutiful calm was rewarded with a spot in the forward party. He looked after the camels while ex-sailor Gray was the strongman who did the work around camp.
Travelling 25 kilometres a day, by December 23 they found the Coongie Lakes, home of the Yawarrawarrka people, who welcomed the bizarre strangers at their waterholes. It was good progress but too slow for their rations. The terrain varied between claypans, boggy grounds and red dunes. They profusely but wouldn't drink until rest points so felt bloated and sick, slowing them down further. They got lost in the Channel Country until they found the Diamantina River near present day Birdsville which would lead them towards the Georgina system and the north coast. They passed locals who pointed out the best billabongs. The worst of the desert was behind them.
With the country improving they reached modern-day Boulia when a camel rolled on Wills' equipment which damaged the accuracy of navigational calculations. There was still rough country to traverse. The Standish and Selwyn ranges in Kalkadoon country remain difficult terrain today with red walls of stone dividing gorges and sharp ridges. On January 27 they passed the site of Cloncurry (named for Burke's cousin Lady Cloncurry) and headed north-west via the Corella river. Three days later was Drop Dead Day, the point of no return of their rations, but they continued north.
It was the "build-up" to the Gulf wet season of stifling humidity and spectacular storms on the horizon. In February a camel fell into a bog and was abandoned, with a redistribution of load to the other beasts. They followed the Flinders River to the north coast, but the shoreline remained invisible in thick trees. The camels could not travel in the muddy estuary and Gray and King made camp at Camp 119 at the Bynoe and Flinders river junction while Burke and Wills tried to find the ocean.
The terrain was impassable mangrove swamps which Burke and Wills had neither the time nor energy to cross. They got 20km from the coast when they were forced to turn around without seeing the sea. Burke was satisfied the committee would accept they had completed the mission. As they turned south from Camp 119 the monsoon broke and it rained in torrents. They were continually stuck in mud. It had taken two months to get to the Gulf now the race was on to get back to Cooper Creek in another two – assuming Brahe acted on Wills's suggestion not Burke's.
Brahe's men were coping with dwindling supplies, stultifying boredom and petty fights with pilfering locals who viewed the whites as unfriendly. Back in Menindee Wright finally got money and orders from Melbourne and set out north on January 26. Burke's party headed south retracing steps to old camps. A food audit on February 12 found they had eaten three quarters of their provisions forcing them to decrease their daily ration. They supplemented this with the native plant portulac which Wills said tasted like spinach and it saved them from scurvy. But the big man Gray was declining and weakened rapidly in March. After three months they were still 1100km from the Creek. On March 25, they discovered Gray was stealing food. Burke knocked him down and Gray was banned from looking after the supplies.
On March 30 they sacrificed the weakest camel and jerked the meat. A few days later the horse gave way and they feasted on his stew. At Coongie Lakes Gray deteriorated and after being strapped to a camel, the sailor died in the middle of the desert on April 17. They stopped a day to bury him and discarded all but the essentials. The men began to think of their homecoming as telltale signs of the Cooper came into view. On April 21 – 127 days after leaving – they arrived at Depot 65 to find it empty but the ashes of a fire still warm. Wills saw a carving on a coolabah. "DIG UNDER 3 FT NW". It had the date inscribed – also April 21. After waiting four months and one week, Brahe had enough and his party left that same day.
Burke collapsed in the dirt, the terrible reality confronting him. They had missed them by eight hours – about the time it took to bury Gray. They followed the dig instructions and found a note with Brahe's intention to head back down the track and it said no one had arrived from Menindee. There was also flour, sugar, tea and dried meat.
Brahe said his men and horses were in good condition so there was little chance of Burke catching up with them. Wills and King wanted to follow Brahe to the Darling but Burke took the fateful decision to head south-west to Mt Hopeless, 250km away in South Australia. Gregory used that police outpost on his 1858 journey from the Cooper to Adelaide but Burke forgot Gregory had eight men, 40 horses and plenty of supplies. King reburied the trunk to not arouse suspicions of the locals. He asked Burke if they should leave a new message on the tree. "No", said Burke, "the word DIG serves our purpose as much as it served theirs."
As Burke set off, Brahe's party were not in as good shape as he wrote. Two men died at Bulloo while Aboriginal tribes taunted them. Wright's party were no better off. The waterholes which sustained Burke had dried up and his men got stuck at Rat Point while they searched in vain for water. One of his party died and the rest were ill. On April 29 Brahe and Wright hooked up by chance at Bulloo Lakes. The combined party had numerous invalids and as they were about to retreat Brahe suggested to Wright they should dash back to the Cooper to be sure. On May 8 they reached the Dig Tree and convincing themselves they would find nothing they found the cache as they left it and assumed the footprints were Aboriginal. They did not notice a broken bottle, a rake leaning against the tree or a piece of leather cut from the stockade door. Inwardly relieved, they stayed just 15 minutes and headed south.
Burke, Wills and King were initially optimistic as they broke into their new supplies. But they suffered a bitter blow when a camel fell into quicksand and died. They only had one beast left, showing signs of fatigue. They got hopelessly lost in the rivulets of the Cooper and the barrier of high sand ridges. On the same day as Brahe and Wright's return to the Dig Tree, Burke realised progress was impossible and they turned back to the Cooper. They had wasted two and a half weeks. They arrived back at the Dig Tree on May 30.
With supplies dwindling they finally tried to live 'like the blacks' but the Yandruwandha were not around to show them how. They discovered a large patch of nardoo seeds which they pounded into flour. But the Yandruwandha destroyed thiaminase (which blocks Vitamin B absorption) by washing and cooking the nardoo. By not doing this Burke's party suffered beri-beri which induced lassitude and caused difficulty walking. Wills weakened fast and on June 21 acknowledged in his diary he would die unless relief came.
That relief was nowhere in sight. A fourth man died in the Brahe party on June 5 and they limped into Menindee on June 19. Wright took a steamer to Adelaide and Brahe brought the news to Melbourne. On June 26, 1861 Wills wrote his final letter to his father and then his final diary entry. Burke and King left him to his fate and he died within days. Burke was not much stronger and wrote his last will to his sister revoking an earlier will where he left his meagre estate to Julia Matthews. He praised King for staying with him and died that night. King set off in search of the Yandruwandha who were his only hope.
In Melbourne the committee roused into action. In a rare good decision they appointed experienced bushman Alfred Howitt to lead a rescue party. Howitt took three men and after three days they ran into Brahe on the Loddon River. Howitt was horrified at Brahe's story and reported back to Melbourne. He was authorised to continue his journey while Queensland sent two rescue parties one by land and the other by sea. Both had the ulterior motive of claiming the new territory for Queensland.
King found the Yandruwandhu who gave him fish and a bed to sleep in. He deteriorated but clung to the hope of rescue. Howitt arrived in Menindee which had become an explorer's town full of speculators and prospectors. He plundered from the remains of the Burke expedition and set off north arriving at Cooper Creek in just 25 days. He found camel tracks which led to Depot 65 but he too ignored the DIG sign. On September 15 one of Howitt's men Edwin Welch was on a reconnaissance mission when he scattered a group of Aborigines, leaving one scarecrow-like figure behind. A man wearing the remains of a hat fell to the ground and raised his hands skywards. He told him his name was King, which was unknown to Welch who knew only of Burke and Wills. "King?" he inquired. Yes, King replied, "the last man of the Exploring Expedition," and he broke down and wept.
Howitt pieced together the story of awful coincidences and missed opportunities. They gave Burke a proper burial and finally dug under the Dig Tree where they found the journals, letters and maps which would tell the story – and open up the country for white exploration. The news of King's survival and Burke and Wills' death became an international sensation. Victoria held a royal commission loaded in favour of the blundering Royal Society and cast Brahe, and especially Wright, as the scapegoats. Burke was a hero venerated in death, though many questioned his judgement as the full details emerged. He and Wills were given state funerals, Gray was ignored. A scarred King would remain mostly silent for the rest of his life.
In South Australia, Stuart finally crossed the continent and Adelaide got the telegraph line. Queensland extended its border to include Burke and Wills's country from Birdsville to the coast. The eight deaths on the expedition were futile as the five rescue parties opened up all of eastern Australia for the benefit of South Australia, NSW and Queensland. Victoria was only left with a giant statue of Burke and Wills on Collins St and the beginning of a tradition of glorious but tragic failure, legends Ned Kelly and Gallipoli would later add to. The biggest losers were the Aboriginal people who owned the land and kept King alive. Cattlemen arrived to dismantle traditional cultures and the indigenous people were moved away to missions and reserves. Only their ghosts now haunt the desert sands.

After all that Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have been through, are they still cool? Depending on who you ask you'll get different responses on whether exes can still be friends. But, it looks like if you were to ask the "Rich Girl" singer the answer would definitely be "no." A source exclusively revealed to Life & Style that the former spouses have been in communication recently which has caused Gwen to have a meltdown.
"Gwen has gotten emotional recently after getting off the phone with Gavin," a source explained. Apparently, her ex-husband decided to weigh-in on her relationship with Blake Shelton. "He pointed out that she and Blake had been spending a lot of time apart. He told Gwen she needs to focus on Blake and put her career on the back burner."
Poor Gwen! We're sure the last thing she wants to hear from her ex is advice on how to handle her new relationship... especially after their less than amicable split two years ago. As fans remember, the former couple split after nearly 13 years of marriage because Gwen believed Gavin was cheating on her. She wanted him to stop touring so much and focus on her and their sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. And according to the source, Gavin has regrets about their marriage failing.
"He told Gwen that if he had to do it all over again," the source continued, "he wouldn't have spent so much time away from his family by touring. It really moved Gwen to tears."
It's completely understandable that Gavin's comments made Gwen emotional. She spent over a decade with her ex-husband and we're sure there's still a lot of painful memories between them. Plus the source added, "Gavin really knows how to push Gwen's buttons." We hope Gwen will be able to put that uncomfortable phone call behind her and not let it impact her relationship with Blake!

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

Marine free after conviction tossed out.
I've met this guy. Super nice guy & I just don't believe he's guilty of this. I'm glad his conviction was tossed out with prejudice. I can't stand women who lie to get ahead or to get what they want, especially when it hurts innocent people. Brian, we're behind ya, hun!!!!
When a wife gets ticked off, and then accuses the hubby of rape, everyone loses. WTG! I'm glad he's got people on his side who believe in him. Thanks for posting that. When

His real name is Vincent Furnier. Alice Cooper was the name of the band, but the name became so associated with the lead singer that he took it. "Alice Cooper" is the name of a girl who was accused of being a witch in the 1600s, but Furnier didn't know that when he took the name. He tried to choose a sweet, innocent sounding name that would contrast against the shocking stage show. A rumor has persisted that Cooper got the name from a Ouija board.
Before adopting the name "Alice Cooper," Furnier's band was called "The Nazz." Upon learning that Todd Rundgren had a band named Nazz, Furnier's Nazz changed their name to Alice Cooper.
Cooper's legendary stage show involves live snakes, straight jackets, corpses, and other horror movie-styled props–not to mention fog machines and dramatic lighting, of course. Stage shows concluded with Cooper's "public execution" by various means, including electric chair, gallows, and guillotine.
Furnier thinks of Alice Cooper as a character, totally separate from himself, who views the world in a skewed, pessimistic way. Furnier adopts Alice's character both while writing songs and performing onstage.

Organizing and Managing Small Rural Colleges: More Bang for the Buck.
McCarter, W. Ronald; Barnes, Edwin L.
While small rural colleges have much the same goals as larger institutions, they have fewer resources with which to work, and therefore their management problems are unique. In the areas of staffing, time management, staff development, and recruitment and promotion, the small college can increase management effectiveness. Despite increasing government regulation, and decreasing funds and qualified applicants, certain hiring problems can be met by: (1) requiring faculty to demonstrate dual competencies; (2) eliminating traditional administrative and instructional positions that can be replaced by paraprofessional positions; and (3) effectively using part-time faculty and graduate students. Effective time management can have a positive influence on daily, weekly, and annual planning, delegation of authority and best use of support staff, and time wasted or well-spent in meetings. In times of reduced resources, staff development seems to be the most feasible means of providing a needed skill in an organization. Doing so requires identification of specific needs, support by faculty and administration, and judicious use of techniques such as free consultants, in-house experts, and personnel exchange with other schools and industry. Finally, marketing can be most effective if it reflects environmental factors such as consumer freedom of choice, competition, efficiency, and social change. Appendices illustrate various strategies.

Background and objectives: Given the importance of determining food consumption patterns for developing policies and interventionist nutrition programs, the current study aimed to determine the food consumption patterns of rural households in villages of Felard district in Lordegan in 1394.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 200 households from three villages in Falard district of Lordegan (including Shahriar, Amiran, and Ganj villages). The data collection instruments included demographic characteristics and food consumption pattern questionnaires. The data were described using SPSS software package.
Results: The results showed that the main food consumption of rural households was bread and grain. Only 17% of the subjects enjoyed a daily intake of vegetables. There were also reports of 38% fruits and 13% milk consumption in the daily intake. 32/5% of participants consumed yogurt and buttermilk on a daily basis. Only 18% of participants used daily whole grains. The main snacksin the family food basket were ice-cream, biscuits, industrial fruit-juices, chocolate and candies, cookies and chips, respectively. In 87% of cases, father was the bread-winner.
Conclusion: Given the low intake of fruits, vegetables, and milk in participants of the present study, conducting nutrition interventions to improve the consumption patterns of these foods is recommended.

Fertilizer Friday/ Flaunt Your Flowers Oct. 26/12
GET READY!!!! IT IS FRIDAY!!! FRIDAY IS FLAUNTING DAY!!! I am so glad you stopped by!
Friday is a BIG day for us here at Tootsie Time…(ok, just me…there is no one else here…lol) It's a big deal because it means it's PARTY TIME!!!! Fertilizer Friday is the day of the week than an ELITE group of gardeners from all around the world get together, snap photos, link up and Flaunt Their Flowers!!!
If you are new to Tootsie Time and Fertilizer Friday, I just know you are asking yourself…"How do I join?"
Well…it's easy really. Here's all you need to know to become a part of this great group of gardeners, bloggers and friends:
If it is spring or summer where you live, you need to snap a few photos of what you have growing, blooming or just love to look at that is of the plant variety…if it is winter where you live, you may post past favorite photos…or indoor plants…whatever you like. The only criteria is that it is a plant or something growing! You do not need to use fertilizer to participate in this party, but if you do, this is the reminder to fertilize weekly! All I ask is that: Your post must include the logo above and/or a link to Tootsie Time, or the linky will be deleted.
So....I would like to invite each and every one of you to join in and share your photos...
So I have a few things to share this week…and to anyone who would like…I have about 12 inches of snow all over my yard! I am less than enthused by this little event…I could have waited another month or more for that to happen…ya…winter is NOT my favorite time of year.
Our house is as busy as usual…but I did manage to get a few pics of the almost cleaned up greenhouse to share with you guys today! I am having a hard time getting around to visit still…time is always an issue for me…and with my computer slowly but surely crapping out on me lately…it seems to take forever to get anything done at all anymore. I am hoping to get a new one very soon…that way I will be able to zip all over blogland and visit with you all! When it takes forever to load anything, it makes it hard to pop over! Be patient…I will eventually get my schedule sorted out! In the meantime…I want to say how much I appreciate all of you for joining in this week and every week…in spite of my tardiness!
Enough with the chatter…LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
This week I will flaunt:
There is a lot "growing on" in my greenhouse right now…This little room is LOADED with some of my favorite things!
I also am wintering some of my mom's favorite things…and those of a good friend! Those two HUGE Bacopa baskets…and let me tell you they are HUGE…are happily blooming up a storm for me right now.
They are Grammie's pots…and she is hoping to keep them for next spring…I am going to have to cut them back…or I won't be able to plant! ha ha!!! they are enormous!
I sure love them…perhaps they "won't make it" ha ha…and she will have to get new ones…
My tropicals are doing great!
The variegated spider plant is getting all "grabby" with lots of arms fill of new little plantlets! I don't often go into the house without some little piece of that plant in my hair somewhere!
This Geranium doesn't seem to care that it is snowing…it's in full bloom!
Another Geranium and some Coleus…I pinched the bloom buds off the Coleus…the blooms from that plant never did anything for me…ha ha!
All of my Christmas Cacti are getting ready to bloom again…for the 5th time this year…so much for Christmas hey??? ha ha!
The cactus seed…you know…the package that came with a rogue carrot seed mixed in…well…the cacti are doing great…so is the carrot…now…I am asking you guys…if I transplant that carrot…will it stay alive? I'd like to see how long I can grow this carrot…It could be OUR little experiment…advise me!!!
On the outside…I am growing a giant icicle…does that count???
Okay kids…that is all for me for this week…now it is your turn.,,,
What are you waiting for??? Get flaunting!
I wish all of you hugs and smiles, and safe and happy weekend plans! Thank you all so much for dropping in today, and to those that faithfully link in to this party…and who are patient while waiting for me to finally visit you…THANK YOU!
Until Next Time... Happy Gardening!

Oh I don't want to see that white stuff yet...we are getting the cold but hopefully no white. Love the bacopa and warm greenhouse. My Christmas cactus is in full bloom at work...very strange. I bet if you transplant the carrot into a deep pot and water it well for a while it will survive.

Hi Glenda, Your greenhouse is lovely. I enjoyed seeing all of your plants, but especially the geranium and the rogue carrot. The coleus and bacopa are gorgeous too. Sorry to see the ice and snow. I am not too fond of winter weather either.

I can't imagine snow and cold so soon. Your indoor plants do not seem to mind that 'Baby, it's cold outside.'
Your Christmas Cactus is farther along in bud than mine, must be because you are farther north.
When I went out to cut off my mister and fan, a little peeper frog was resting on a branch of a newly rooted Christmas cactus cutting.

It seems so odd to see snow now, but you are probably accustomed to it. Your greenhouse seems warm enough to accommodate a variety of plants...they look very healthy and happy. Thank you for hosting!

Well, you can send your snow MY way-I'll take it. We moved to Michigan for the snow and it's been downright "tropical" lately.
Love all your greenhouse goodies. What a heavenly place to spend time.

You have snow already Glenda? It is hard to transition from all those beautiful tropical plants to an icicle and snow! Your greenhouse is the place to be right now. Thank you for hosting.

Although I have had snow and freezing temperatures. Sitting in your greenhouse with a cup of tea, I would like to. With all the flowers around me. A small jungle in the middle of the snow. Computers are good but a misery my being broken. My geraniums in full bloom in my window. I wish you a nice Sunday.

I bet it smells divine in your greenhouse, those are the biggest bacopa I have ever seen. Don't know about transplanting the carrot, I do know they will grow forever..if you plan on eating it it's going to get real tough.

One course of action while Lighting for Living Room with Low Ceiling is to discover balance between modern and flexible furniture. In smaller living spaces, make maximum technique space by installing the tv screen in a wall-mounted cabinet. Don't go overboard on decoration, and try to manage the volume of seating space to ensure that people can move easily. Lots of people also love to include an enhancing focus just like a mirror or painting to for the room. Flowers located throughout the room add to the light source, organic effect. Balance and harmony are key at all times when coming up with a full time income room.

List entry Description
Summary of Monument
Long barrow called Fussells Lodge 470m south of Stockbottom Farm.
Reasons for Designation
Long barrows were constructed as earthen or drystone mounds with flanking ditches and acted as funerary monuments during the Early and Middle Neolithic periods (3400-2400 BC). They represent the burial places of Britain's early farming communities and, as such, are amongst the oldest field monuments surviving visibly in the present landscape. Where investigated, long barrows appear to have been used for communal burial, often with only parts of the human remains having been selected for interment. Certain sites provide evidence for several phases of funerary monument preceding the barrow and, consequently, it is probable that long barrows acted as important ritual sites for local communities over a considerable period of time. Some 500 examples of long barrows and long cairns, their counterparts in the uplands, are recorded nationally. As one of the few types of Neolithic structure to survive as earthworks, and due to their comparative rarity, their considerable age and their longevity as a monument type, all long barrows are considered to be important. The long barrow called Fussells Lodge 470m south of Stockbottom Farm is particularly important because this modern excavation provided so much information concerning social organisation, dating, burial rites and funerary practices and traditions, the development of the long barrow and its continued importance as a focal point for communities far beyond the time of its construction. It is extremely well known and has been much studied as a result.
See Details.
This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 15 September 2015. This record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
This monument includes a long barrow situated on the eastern side and close to the head of a wide dry valley called Stock Bottom. The long barrow survives as an elongated wedge shaped mound orientated from north east to south west and measuring approximately 64m long, up to 20m wide and from 0.5m up to 1m high with slight buried side ditches to the north west and south east of up to 18m wide. This well known long barrow was the subject of an extensive excavation by Ashbee in 1957. A palisaded mortuary house which contained at least three oval pits each with an inhumation and one backfilled with soil containing cremated bone were followed by a rectangular structure. At the eastern end of this were stacked the skulls and bones from 53 to 57 individuals. Also discovered were two Early Neolithic pots and an ox skull all beneath a cairn composed of flint nodules. The cairn also contained flint knapping debris, animal bone, antler and Late Neolithic pottery. The side ditches were found to contain fragments of Bronze Age collared and globular urns and Roman coarse ware and Samian pottery in the upper fills.

Even an evil child has his own day- Yoruba Proverb
Sometimes, the world does not need a hero what it needs is a monster- Count Dracula
Last week, I ticked another movie in my movies watched checklist. The movie, Dracula Untold chronicles how Count Vlad the Impaler, Son of the Dragon became Count Dracula son of the Devil, and leader and founder of #TeamVampire. The movie reveals that Count Dracula turned to the evil power that turned him into a blood drinker because he wanted to prevent his people from being taken as slaves by the Turks. Dracula himself had been a fierce, and deadly warrior who turned his back on his bloody past ad decided he wanted to be a honourable ruler to his people, after years of fighting and being treated as a slave, he wanted to be a hero, but he soon discovers that sometimes the world doesn't need heroes, sometimes what it needs are monsters. When his old adopted brother Mehmet the Turkish king comes calling for Vlad's son and a thousand Transylvanian men to be forcefully conscripted into his Turkish army, Dracula has no option but to seek an unspeakable evil being, an evil creature, with demonic powers forever fated to remain in darkness.
When Dracula stepped into that cave, he knew what he was looking for and what it would cost him. He knew he would become like the monster he sought, a blight upon everything beautiful and good, and a creature of the dark fated to live out eternity among the hosts of darkness. Vlad knew he would become a monster, the son of the devil, his soul forever damned to an eternity in hell. Vlad knew, the people he was trying to save will despise him, they would be afraid of him, they would even try to kill him, but he knew he had to get that vile power, or his good people would perish by the sword of Mehmet the Turk. By turning himself to a lord of the night, he ensured that the good people of Transylvania were safe from the scourge of slavery forever
This action, reminds me of another fictional character, Lord Varys in George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones. Varys is potrayed in the series as a slimy character, who had a huge network of spies, whom everybody feared and nobody trusted, nobody knew what team Varys is playing for at any point in time, and throughout the movie he remained a loner, nobody to love or trust. However,for all his bad qualities, it was Lord Varys' double dealing that helped one of the good guys in the movie Tyrion Lannister escape out of King's Landing with his head after he was condemned to death.Varys might be a two timing schemer, but it is enormous influence that allows him to succeed where noble heroes like Eddard Stark failed
Again this reminds me of a series of discussion I had with friends on the issue of the Nigerian army against Boko Haram, as a Nigerian who has witnessed firsthand the brutality and callousness of the Nigerian military, I rejoice in spite of myself when I see them getting their "comeuppance" from Boko Haram, but I keep getting reminded by friends that those soldiers bad as they might have been (or as they are if you like) are the only reason why I'm only still reading about Boko Haram in the papers instead of hearing their gunshots outside my door.
This piece is not in praise of these lords of dark places, they do not deserve praise, most of them have no honour, they have no courage, most of them like Dracula are bloodthirsty and evil creatures. They don't need our sympathy because ultimately the path they took was by their own choice. It is merely an acknowledgement of what they do. The world needs heroes as rulers, men like the honourable Eddard Stark who will not pervert justice, who will not soil their hands, whose work will stand against any scrutiny, who create just societies. But the world also needs monsters like Dracula, Like Lord Varys, who would slither about in the dark so that good people like the innocent Transylvanians will not die, and good people do not get stabbed in the back by evil people. In a world where #TeamBlack is forevever battling TeamWhite, people who are #TeamGrey are needed to even things up and maintain balance.
So here is to the Lords of Darkness, to the masters of disguise, the faceless men, the "bad" men with guns who patrol the streets…. so that good people may sleep peacefully at night.

Growing up in the 80's and 90's, there was one thing that you always heard, and nobody would ever really dispute it. The Dallas Cowboys were America's Team, The Cowboys would fill most stadiums across the country with their fans, and chances are that no matter where you lived during these years, you could see a fair amount of Cowboys gear around town. This was especially prevalent during the Super Bowl years of the early and mid 90's. The Cowboys were known by name across the country and you either loved them or you hated them, but chances are most probably loved them, even if they didn't admit it openly.
Fast forward to today, and the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since 1996, and have only won one playoff game since that Super Bowl. There is still a big fan base for the Cowboys, and there is still a national media perspective of the Cowboys are America's team, but are they really? This has been a lean time in the history of the Cowboys, but the brand still demands the utmost respect from the networks and still gets the prime time games on most weeks. But chances are if you walked into any town in America outside of Texas, you wouldn't see a majority on Cowboys gear. I am not saying that the Cowboys don't still have a huge fan base across the country, they always will. But thanks to the creation of multiple games being televised across the country, and the ability to watch any team from anywhere in the country on a given Sunday, chances are people are choosing other teams for their own personal reasons.
The days of a kid in Bismarck, North Dakota watching more Cowboys games than anything else have slowly died, chances are now a days the Kid will become a Tampa Bay or Miami fan if he so chooses. Because he can now watch any team on any Sunday and get that teams gear off the internet. While Jerry Jones and most of the Cowboys fan base will always tout them as America's team, I hate to say that, this isn't the case anymore. America can choose who they are rooting for, and thanks to the lack of success and no Super Bowl victories in 15 years, the Cowboys are not as big of a blip on the national radar. For someone who grew up with "America's team" it is a sad fact that is slowly becoming more reality.Please be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook

This morning on his radio show, radio legend Howard Stern went off on comedian Ari Shaffir. It was done in response to Shaffir's recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast (here, around 1:38:00). During said visit Shaffir said some things about traditional radio and Stern in particular pretty much saying former great men like Stern and Clint Eastwood have lost touch. Not afraid of picking fights, Stern fired back at Shaffir denouncing Shaffir, his career, and podcasting in general. While Shaffir has never been one to avoid a good argument, Shaffir released this video response to Stern's morning show rant stating that terrestrial radio might seem exciting to people of Stern's generation but it's not to Shaffir or his. Going as far to even teach the veteran radio jock how to use Google to answer Stern's questions like, "who is Ari Shaffir?"
The next step here has to be Shaffir appearing on Stern's show. As we know there's literally no way Stern will appear on the podcast as invited.

I had hoped to get a little time in for womenswear or for shopping but no luck on that end. The only thing I was able to snap while rushing from one show to the other was this GORG yellow coat…I don't even know the name of the boutique I was at. I just know this coat stopped me in my tracks! It looks so soft and wonderful too…don't you want this wrapped around you right now?!

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Posen District Curriculum
The Illinois Learning Standards curriculum is a rigorous, objective-based framework for teaching and learning in each academic subject. In literature classes, students read complex texts of varying types for comprehension but also to evaluate the tactics and approaches utilized by the author. They develop theories and find facts and evidence to support those theories. They write analytical essays using this evidence or give oral presentations and generally learn effective communication skills.
The Math curriculum focuses on number and quantity, algebra, geometry, functions, models, and statistics and probability. The different problem-solving skills in each of these areas are taught throughout elementary and middle school, with students developing their abilities with multi-step problems. They also develop their mathematical literacy, learn to understand what word problems are asking them, and how to demonstrate their mathematical thinking as they work through solving a problem.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Public Universities
There aren't that many differences between public and private universities, and most of them stem from the one, true difference, which is that public universities are funded by the state. Because of this, they tend to have much lower tuition, especially for those who reside in the state, but even for those who reside outside of the state. The state also mandates that public universities must accept a certain percentage of its incoming class from those who live within the state, which leads to a much higher acceptance rate for in-state students, usually. Public universities tend to have fairly high acceptance rates, in general, though some are quite selective. Also, public universities tend to be organized into universities, rather than colleges, mostly due to their size, though many public universities aren't that large.

Im a new member of Bowhuntingohio.com and am interested in leasing property in Butler County for the 2013-14 hunting season. I would also be open to the possibility of joining a group of other hunters on a lease. I have bow hunted for twenty years and believe in being an ethical and responsible hunter. I look for mature bucks to harvest but also will take a doe or two if agreeable for the meat.

Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II £249.00 via York Designer Outlet
I needed a new speaker for my bedroom and loft/lounge area and my dad recommended Bose. I looked online at Bose speakers. I wanted something I could easily take from one room to another (shower singing is compulsory) and I also wanted to be able to take it outside in the summer for BBQ's. I then visited York Designer Outlet and went to the Bose shop to look at their range. I found that this speaker was completely wireless when in use. It has a charging unit which I use every few weeks. The charge lasts for around 8 hours. The speaker comes with the leather case already around it which doubles as a stand for the speaker as shown in the second image. The cover then flips back to the front of the speaker to protect it (a leather sleek design).
The speaker connects to my iphone wirelessly and also has an aux port should I wish to play music from a non bluetooth device. I cannot recommend this speaker enough. I use it everyday without fail and the battery life is great. Its a beautiful piece of kit to look at due to its sleek design. My dad has a Bose surround system which produces excellent quality sound. I was sceptical as to whether the speaker would produce a high quality sound. I don't think I can compare it to any speaker that I have previously owned. The quality of sound is almost slightly unreal due to the size of the speaker. I find myself thinking 'how can such a quality sound come from such a small unit?'. For me the fact that I can connect my iphone once and then only ever have to press one button to turn on and off is brilliant. I know that some speakers you have to connect your phone each time. This speaker does everything for you automatically which makes it so simple to use. I also like how I can adjust the track and volume directly from my iphone, can it get any better?! If you are thinking of buying a speaker then I highly recommend the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II. I am aware that bose have just released and new version of this speaker. Maybe i'll upgrade in a few years but for now this product does an amazing job!
I am also planning a review of the QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones at a later date.
