Imagine you can play an instrument, right now.
Imagine the feeling of picking up a sax or a trumpet and playing anything you want, just how you like.
How fantastic would that be?
Basically, that's why people play.
Because of the way it makes them feel.
Beneficiile studierii unui instrument
Train your brain
When you're playing, your brain has to process hundreds of pieces of information each second. Playing music trains you to think faster and smarter. That's got to help in exams and interviews.
Boosts your team skills
Playing an instrument can be a great way to expand your social circle and boost your confidence. In a band or orchestra you'll be contributing to the overall success of the group by working together as a team and listening to one another musically. Performing as part of a group gives a huge sense of pride and accomplishment and is great for self-esteem. Often, you'll develop lifelong friendships through music, and it's just fun!
Feel better
Music makes you healthier. It doesn't just sharpen up your mind and reduce stress. It can certainly help you relax after a tough day at school or work.
Get out there
Coursework, homework, revision, coursework, homework, more coursework… Learning an instrument adds a bit of variety to the activities you do outside school. And playing in an orchestra or a band is an easy way to get you out from behind the piles of books to meet new people.
It's not what you know…
When you're applying for part time jobs or college places, it helps to have a bit more on the "hobbies" section of your application form than "Watching TV. Reading books." It's always impressive to see that someone has been learning an instrument.
A real result
It's really difficult when you first start to play. Sometimes it feels like you're never going to make a decent sound. But it does come – particularly when you're playing an instrument specially designed for students – and the sense of achievement is fantastic. To be able to look at a piece of music, play it, and know that you're playing well is an amazing feeling.
Stress? What stress?
When you're stressed – play. Music is the best escape route there is. It doesn't matter if it's course work or office work that's making you stressed; playing can dissolve it in minutes.

Momicillin Promises Stress-Reducing Elixir of Humorous Help
We had Motrin Moms. Now we have Momicillin which, unlike the...um...vociferously vehement personality of the whole Motrin Mom thing, promises to be constructive and helpful. We specially like the drug label-style verbiage the site uses. As an example, here's the About section, which they call "Indications."
"Momicillin is indicated for the treatment of crankiness, confusion, self-doubt, body-aches, memory loss, fatigue or general malaise due to excessive exertion or repetition during job-related activities. These activities may include, but are not limited to: binky finding, goop removing, conflict negotiating, facial contorting, bum wiping, boo-boo kissing, block stacking, carpooling, and monster slaying."
Five writers promise to deliver "straight from the trenches" humor and advice. Oh and that headline

FuseWith a No. 1 album under his spangled belt and five upcoming concerts with the surviving members of Queen, it's a good time to be Adam Lambert. Fuse chatted with the American Idol runner-up about working with Pharrell Williams on Trespassing and taking on the task of filling Freddie Mercury's imposing shoes (or lack thereof, as the case often was).
"I'm pumped. I have some songs I don't quite know all the way, so I have some things to learn," Lambert admits to Fuse. "I don't know what I'm wearing yet, hopefully it's fabulous. I'm just looking forward to paying tribute to the great songs of Queen and legacy of Freddie Mercury. My goal for the evening is just to sing the sh*t out of the songs." Hell yeah!
The "Never Close Our Eyes" singer also talks about interpreting Queen's songs so that he can remain true to himself as an artist. "Freddie—one of the things that made him so brilliant—is you always understood what he was trying to communicate by the way his voice sounded and his phrasing and his energy," Lamberts says. "My goal is to communicate the same idea. I'm going to be myself up there, but pay respect in a tasteful way."
Glambert also tells us about the joy of Freddie Mercury performing shoeless and in short shorts. "One of my favorite Freddie performances is… I think it was Montreal, where he's barefoot in the shorts," Lambert says, (skip to 3:08 for that visual). "I'm like, he's just wearing those little shorts up there and no shoes. He doesn't give a sh*t about anything and I love that. I love how free he was on stage."

I'm just not Supermom anymore....
I think I'm just worn out with blogging. I've been around a long time and I think I have given all the advice that I know. You firs...
Happy New Year (Almost)
My HB is still sick but Lil O is much better.
Since snow is for-casted, I ran to the grocery store this morning to beat the loonies who think the world will end when the snow comes. I made some lemonade a bit ago. A weird request in the winter but it will be yummy. Then I made some homemade garlic hummus. YUMMY!
I cannot believe another year is almost over. Tomorrow will be January 1, 2008. The year 2007 had been full of happy things and full of sadness.
My great aunt losing her husband and my papaw dying. My MIL losing her favorite brother.
It also brought great things as well. H in her last year at middle school. (Maybe I should add that to the sad list as well.) B2 loving fourth grade! Lil O growing up so fast. Time flies for sure when you see the growth of your children. Getting pregnant with baby number 4. Life has been great for us and I am truly blessed.
I hope that you look upon 2007 and see all the great things you have been able to share with others. May you look forward to 2008 with soo many possibilities.
Back To Work I Go:
Shepherd's Pie
Chicken & Dumplings
Veggie Meal-Sweet Potatoes, Corn, Green Beans & Slaw
Tuna Casserole
One night will be Lucky Leftover Night because I have a DAMA Meeting at 6pm. A get together to celebrate the holiday/New Year Season. I am looking forward to that. We are to take a favorite treat with us. I am going to make my HB's FAMOUS Guacamole! With some SALTY chips it will be awesome. I can post the recipe for it later and I highly recommend you try it. ~It doesn't have tomatoes or mayo/sour cream in it like lots do.~
Plus my friend Tammy wants me to root her an avocado pit since I am the pro at doing that and then mail it to her. HA HA! I need to take a picture of the two I still have. One is about 5 feet tall. I'll try to remember that for another time.
Santa ~AKA my wonderful husband~ brought me a shiny brand new KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I am dying to use it. I think I might make a carrot cake this coming week as well. Just so I can use the mixer! But then again it is so pretty I don't want to get it all dirty. LOL
Well, time for Lil O to get her cough medicine. I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend. :)
I want the New Year to bring good Health!
My little niece spent two nights in the hospital with pneumonia over the holiday so "Santa" had to come up there for her. She is home and getting better while her lil sis is hacking up a lung like Lil O. Plus, my mamaw is sick. So you see…
So for the New Year I want good health for everyone. I think starting the New Year with well people would be a good sign.
The holiday season was really really wonderful here. Lots of family time with sick people, great food and awesome gifts. A very good holiday indeed–minus the coughing and snot that is.
I have been having a fit to get ready for the new baby. LOL I want to get everything ready for her but it is too soon to have PINK everywhere and to be tripping over a baby swing and bouncie seat. My shower is planned for February, so after that I am going to put as much PINK out as possible. I want girly pink EVERYWHERE! LOL The boys in the house will be gagging! We are still working on a name though. I don't usually share that with others until after the birth though. You never know who might like it and use it before you. Silly I know but that is how a pregnant woman thinks. To get her heart set on a name and someone get a new dog/cat and them use it. Something like that would be bad. ha ha Anyway…
I guess I am going to go and crochet on my blanket for the baby. I bought this great PINK yarn with hopes of making her a sweater but the yarn was too fuzzy so I was losing my stitches. I'll have to buy another yarn for the sweater so right now I am working on a blanket.
I wish everyone a wonderful day filled with great health.
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!
May it be filled with lots of love and surprises.
Time with the Family…
…is time well spent.
We have been busy in our house.
Today we went to my dad's for Christmas food and to open presents. Lots of food I might add.
We all had a really nice time. Tomorrow we are having my MIL over to celebrate Christmas with her. I am planning a nice meal for her. I have been doing some of the prep work tonight so I don't have too much to do tomorrow.
I just feel very blessed. So very blessed. And the new baby is coming into such a wonderful and loving family.
I hope that everyone has a lovely weekend and Christmas season. Enjoy this time with your family and friends. That is what it is about to begin with anyway.
Wow, what a treat!
Today B2 had an ortho visit to tighten those braces and make his mouth sore. I sent him on to school before and told him I'd pick him up for the appointment. School said I have 1 1/2 hours to get him back or he'd be counted absent anyway.
Long story short–he didn't make it back.
Instead he wanted to go to Red Lobster for lunch. Such a treat for a cold day, 7 days before Christmas I might add. It wouldn't have been my first choice in a place to go but he was picking! LOL
We had shrimp scampi, popcorn shrimp, crab cakes and crab legs. I am so full I can barely breath! Not to mention I ate TWO biscuits, a salad and 1/2 my baked potato! LOL No wonder I cannot move.
Then I had to go to Target of course. For my weekly visit there. LOL I also stopped by the craft store and bought PINK yarn to make the little one a tiny sweater for her arrival and trip home. I'll post pictures of the progress of that later on when I get it started.
Well, we are off to collect H from school and brag about our day of eating seafood and shopping. I will say it was nice having special time with B2. We needed it together! Have a wonderful afternoon.
No One Knows, Yet Everyone Knows
Know what I mean? The first person I told was my sister. Then I spoke with my Mamaw. My friend Tammy. Then my dad. It was nice to tell someone other than keeping it between me and B. I guess in a way I was afraid to say it out-loud. For fear of breaking down. Crazy huh? But it was hard keeping it to myself–I wanted the comfort. I wanted someone to reassure me and tell me everything would be okay.
In my mind I am a pretty healthy 33 year old woman and my husband is a fit 44 year old man. I have had 3 healthy children. Weighing in at 8 lbs 12 oz, 9 lbs 13 oz & then 7 lbs 12 oz. I had no worries about them. I dealt with kidney stones in ALL three pregnancies. That was pretty much my only complaint. A painful one I might add. Thankfully they give wonderful drugs for those that let you hallucinate in your hospital bed. BONUS: They send you home with them too.
I had no worries about getting pregnant again and having another baby. I was thrilled at the thought and never thought we would finally decide on when to try again. I remember taking the test one morning. In my granny gown. Then running into the living room before B went to work to tell him our good news. Just what we wanted! Another baby to join or happy family.
So once it became clear to me "Yes this is happening, you are not in a dream", I began to research. I searched the web of course. Read lots of factual things. Joined a blog group about it where I could speak with other moms that were waiting just like me. Bought a couple books. To which I read the first couple days.
So here I am. Sitting at the computer on a very cold Sunday night hoping for some snow. What are you trying to tell us you ask? Last night at my B's Christmas party someone approached us about the fact not stated yet. It took me off guard. I wasn't prepared for that. Wasn't prepared to be spoken to about it. Well, other than people that I knew in a personal way. Hence: No One Knows, Yet Everyone Knows.
I am opening myself up for peoples comments. And advice I am sure. I don't want anyone's sympathy. We are really fine. :) There are much worse things that could happen to a family. Its just the unknown that terrifies me the most.
Two weeks ago during a routine 20 week ultrasound a tech noted something about our baby girl. Her nuchal fold was thicker than normal. This is possibly a sign for Downs Syndrome. She said she wasn't worried because it was a 2nd trimester ultrasound. It was pretty much all a blur to me after she said Downs Syndrome. The tech noted no other 'soft signs'. But after we left–it hit me. Those words. Left us thinking. Wondering. The unknown. I didn't want any tests. We will love our daughter no matter what. It is a waiting game now. We will have to wait until she is born to know for sure if she indeed has DS.
I prayed to God. I do it more often now. But not for the 'perfect' baby. Just my baby girl. His Gift to us. I pray for her to be carried to term. Be a great weight. Breath on her own. No major health issues. Most importantly to be able to come home when the time comes for us to go home.
I know nothing is certain and we will not know until April. I am okay with that. No matter what–we will be okay.
So there you have it.
Banana Crumb Muffins
I made these this morning and they are YUMMY!
Banana Crumb Muffins
The only thing I changed was—I added about 1 cup chopped pecans to the batter before I spooned it into the muffin cups.
I am trying to save some for the kids and NOT eat them all.
11 More Days Until You Know What
First let me say, I am not depressed or need medical attention. LOL I had someone ask me if I was okay because I had a mad ramble the other day. I am pregnant with baby number 4, I am allowed to break down just a couple times a year. LOL
In all seriousness, I am just dealing with some personal thing. I have the support of a good man, great kids, wonderful family and awesome friends. Just once in a while a good cry is okay to have. Things will work out no matter what. This I believe.
Today I spent it with my sister and little niece A. We were out at 8:30ish until 2:30ish I think. I am a tired woman for sure.
Lil O made my day today. I had a Christmas CD playing with all the great classics. We were driving by some Christmas decorations. She said, "I love Christmas time". It was sweet and sincere. I look forward to her ripping off the paper to her presents.
Tomorrow we are having company and they are watching Lil O for us to go to HB's Christmas party for work. I bought a great maternity dress and new shoes for the occasion. I may feel huge but I'll look great. I'll post a picture of me and my HB together later on of the event.
I wish everyone a happy and safe weekend.
Ugh, where is my energy?
I have spent the past few days in bed more than I have been OUT of it. Since Sunday I have been physically drained. Anyway….
13 days until Christmas!!!!!!!!! I hope that everyone is ready for the hectic yet joyous time with their families and friends.
My Christmas will start on Saturday, December 22. We will be celebrating at my dad's house. That will be exciting. I am going to make a pineapple casserole to take. I have the recipe to share if anyone wants it. It is a yummy treat that is good with ham or as a dessert. MMM….
I started last night working on a menu and grocery list. I haven't put all the pieces together yet.
~Tuna Casserole
~Veggie Night
~Lentil Burgers (Since they were a BIG hit)
~Shepherds Pie
~Butternut Squash and Pear Soup
That's all I have at the moment. I am trying a new recipe for Banana Crumb Muffins for breakfast and snacks. I have been craving a Carrot Cake but too lazy to make one. Maybe next time.
~insert crazy ramble here, then I will be fine, promise~
I am in a mood or funk past couple weeks. I find myself listening to depressing Damien Rice tunes and thinking way too much. I try to be positive and tell others I am. But am I? Will there be a light at the end of this tunnel or will it just bring sadness. I am tired of being the brave one. I don't want to be brave anymore. I have too much worry in me. Unanswered questions. Fear of the unknown.
Okay, I wish everyone a wonderful 13th day until Christmas.
Enjoying a Moment
Yesterday was a wonderful day. ~big huge smile~
My sister, her husband and their 2 daughters came over for a Pre-Holiday party. Lots of yummy finger food and the kids decorated Gingerbread houses.Before:
The artists. Minus one~she wouldn't get in the picture.
B2 and niece H hard at work.
So proud!
Me and my sister.
The girls. Except me, I am taking the picture. Where are our handsome husband you ask? Outside getting up leaves! LOL
B2 & Niece H's house: The only thing they were helped with was the icing. Great job!
H, O and niece A's house. Just beautiful.
After they left, I was exhausted. Which explains why I slept so well last night. I hope that everyone has a lovely Sunday.
The Family Bed
Lil O has been in our bed since the first day home from the hospital. We absolutely LOVE it. A baby is in the womb for 9 months; why would I think of not having her in bed with me at home? My husband once said, "Waking up to have your infant staring at your face and them smiling at you is awesome". I agree. Yes, we get the occasional head butt and kick~but in the morning hearing her say, "Good morning Mommy. Did you sleep good?" It just makes it all better.
Personally having kids in the bed hasn't bothered our "love" life in any way. Yanno, there are other places for that. During the night we are always playing footsie under the covers and snuggling with O up top.
I understand there are risks for having a baby in bed. I really believe a person knows their boundaries and will not roll over on a baby. That's why we don't roll off the bed.
Plus, babies die of SIDS, all alone in their own bed. I have read that a family bed reduces that risk. There are so many sites and studies and they all say different things.
Here is a great link: The Family Bed
It is all about personal preference and what you want in your home. For us the family bed is the way to go and we wouldn't change a thing about it. Our only problem now is, making room for the new baby come April.
I firmly believe in:
~Wearing your baby
~Nursing your baby
~Sleeping with your baby
~Holding your baby
Ahhh, to be a baby…
I have done the above with all 3 of my children and will when number 4 gets here.
I for one am glad it is Friday. I am going to check somethings off my list. Tomorrow we are having a Gingerbread House building party. My sister and her family are coming over for that with lots of YUMMY snacks to munch on while 5 kids get icing and candy all over the place. I will post pictures when I get a chance.
Plus, who wouldnt want to sleep with this???
PS. My HB said I should add that H & B2 are well adjusted children and when the time came, moved very easily into their own bedrooms with their own beds. So you don't think we have this room full of children. LOL
The Kids Even Liked Them
Heidi's Vegetarian Lentil Burgers
We have one of her cookbooks that my husband picked up. The burgers were tasty. I did what she suggested and after they were cooked, I cut them in half and added a slice of Swiss cheese. I put them back in the pan and put the lid back on until time to serve. The cheese was melted just right. Next time I am going to add some sauteed onions when I add the cheese.
I made this Slaw w/Apples as well. I am not sure if I like that recipe. I think I'll search around for another one to try. If you have one, please share.
Then I diced up potatoes and sweet potatoes. Threw them in a baking dish, added sea salt, lots of garlic cloves, onion and olive oil. Baked until done. Another family favorite.
I went to the doctors yesterday and we saw our sweet sweet baby girl. I weigh in at 146. I knew I gained some pounds. 7 pounds in fact since I was last there for a visit. It's nice to have an appetite back. Even if it is with the help of medication.
We really like the new doctor in the office and have chosen her to do our cesarean. She said we would schedule it closer to time since they are only up to February in making appointments for them. Something like that. LOL
I woke up this morning about 2 am'ish with a COLD! It's just not fair. I have a killer headache, my nose is all funky, aching ears and sore throat. Wahhhhhh!!!! ~Insert pouty face here.~
Well, have a great day everyone!

Kids in Love
by Nikki Godwin
Series: Saturn #1.5
Publication date: September 7th 2014
Category: YA
Genre: Contemporary
*Purchase links support this blog
As one of the original Saturnites, Darby McMillon has been a longtime face of the fandom. From the days when the boys were just a YouTube band trying to gain fans up through their recent lockdown, Darby's channel – Darby's Daily Dose of Drama – was the "go to" spot for all things Spaceships Around Saturn.
Until now, she's been trusted by most and envied by few, but her meet up with SAS girlfriend Chloe Branson shakes Darby's world. She learns quickly that when you're with the band, everything isn't always red carpets and music videos.
And the closer she gets to her SAS crush Tate Kingsley, the closer she comes to losing her Saturnite status forever.
A stampede of girls charge through the mall, running like a herd of zebras in the safari lands, dashing away from their predator and into a safe zone – which in this case, is Saturn. They scream in hysteria, pushing people aside and fighting with each other as they dart toward the stage. I don't know how they got past all the security and law enforcement, but I don't have time to process it.
In the midst of the craziness, Jules brushes past me, grabbing Aralie and moving out quickly. Tank shouts something toward the stage, and Benji slams into me trying to reach his bodyguard bestie. He doesn't apologize or ask if I'm okay or even make eye contact. Instead, Benji latches onto Chloe's shoulder and pushes her ahead of him, keeping her wedged safely between himself and Tank.
So this is how I'll die? I'll get caught in the crossfire and stampede of Saturnites, who are already angry with me anyway, while security rushes to save the precious Branson sisters and Benji Baccarini. If I ever felt VIP before, I've lost that status entirely. I wasn't even important enough for security to grab on their way to safety. I'm just another crazy fangirl who's been left behind for the mall security and local law enforcement to send home.
"What the hell?" Sydney shouts, bumping into me as girls push toward the empty stage. "How did they get in? And what the hell are we supposed to do now?"
She screams the words, but it's almost useless. We're jostled around in the crowd, even in our VIP wing. I could stab the idiot who didn't secure whatever portal these crazy Saturnites crawled through. Not only did they ruin my first SAS show but they also proved my Saturnite worth, which is nothing.
American Girl on Saturn synopsis:
The summer after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom – but not for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys…in their house.
Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.
But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.

Neil Bantleman, 45, who worked at the prestigious Jakarta International School, was arrested last week during a police investigation into the alleged sexual assault of three kindergarten students.
His wife, Tracy Bantleman, who also teaches at the school, said the week since her husband's arrest has been a "horrific nightmare."
"He is using every ounce of energy he has to keep it together," she said in a phone interview from Jakarta.
Tracy Bantleman, 42, said the prison conditions are "reasonable," and include a clean cell area with a mattress on the floor.
"Physically, he's not looking as strong as I've seen him look before," she said.
"The first thing he says to me is 'I love you, I love you, I love you,' " she said, breaking down crying. "It's so hard to hear your husband cry."
Local media reported that the police investigation began with the arrest of six outsourced cleaners accused of allegedly raping a young boy in a school bathroom in March. The Jakarta Post reported that the parents of two other students filed police reports claiming their sons were sexually assaulted by teachers.
Neil Bantleman was detained along with teaching assistant Ferdinand Tjiong, who is Indonesian. They both have denied the allegations.
Tracy Bantleman said the two men, who she described as "absolutely the gold standard for teachers across the world," are together in prison.
"I'm trying to put my full trust in the legal system here, and respect and honour that and hope that they will fairly and transparently investigate the case," she said.
Neil Bantleman's brother, Guy, is heading efforts in Canada to raise awareness about the case. Speaking from his home in Burlington, Ont., he said that he has been in touch with the office of Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird.
"This is about human rights," Guy Bantleman said. "(My brother) has always been the most honourable person you could meet."
A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development said details on the case are not being released for privacy reasons.
"Canadian consular officials are providing assistance to a Canadian citizen who has been detained in Indonesia," John Babcock said in an email.
Last week, the three founding embassies of the Jakarta International School issued a joint statement that said Australian, British and American officials are "deeply concerned about the detention of several JIS teachers."
"We believe JIS and its teachers have closely co-operated with police authorities, and we are surprised at these developments given the presumption of innocence in Indonesian law," the statement read.
The teachers, who are being represented by Indonesian attorney Hotman Paris Hutapea, were brought into the police station for questioning on July 14 and then detained in the early hours the next morning.
Hutapea told the Jakarta Post that the police "stepped over the line" by detaining his clients without evidence.
The newspaper reported that police claim to have proof the two teachers drugged kindergarten pupils before sexually assaulting them. Both Bantleman and Tjiong could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Tracy Bantleman said before moving to Indonesia four years ago, she and her husband worked at private schools in Calgary and at the Canadian International School in Singapore.
"This kind of allegation as a teacher is the most damaging allegation for your career," she said. "But more importantly, it really impacts who you think you are as a person. That will never go away."

Special Events at Forest International School
Every year we organise special events to celebrate each country's traditions:
We celebrated Sinterklaas where we had the visit of a real Dutch Sinterklaas on his horse, Halloween, Christmas, Royal day (we liked celebrating the kings and queens from all countries), Easter where children chased the Easter Bunny in the forest. We also incorporated many of these events within classroom activities, for example during the International Story-telling Week, where each class read stories from around the world, and the International Week where we explored the various foods from around the world.
The parent Association organises events as well to facilitate the welcoming of new families and for families to get to know one another. All this in close collaboration with the school.

play@home programme includes a set of books on different developmental levels (baby to preschool). These books contain activities to support babies' development and improve the mental wellbeing of parents and children from birth.
play@home originated in the Waikato Region of New Zealand. The programme was adapted for use in Fife in 1999, through a partnership between Fife Council Education Service and NHS Fife. In 2008 it was rolled out across Scotland with support from NHS Health Scotland.The programme consists of three books:
Children learn through movement and play. Play@home suggests healthy activities that can be used to strengthen bonding and communication, improve parenting skills and introduce physically and mentally healthy attitudes from the first day of life.
back to top
The play@home programme was provided to every new parent, delivered by health visitors and public health nurses across Fife in 1999.
'I first heard about play@home through the health visitor who gave me leaflets about baby massage classes, then it was reinforced when my three year old came home from nursery with books in a bag,' says Lynsey, a young Mum in Fife with a baby and a toddler.
Irene Miller, National play@home Adviser, NHS Health Scotland says, 'Parents are encouraged to use the books as they would use a cookery book, dipping in and out as necessary, finding an appropriate activity (recipe) for the age and stage of development of their child. The book is a guide that parents can refer to whenever they wish; the activities are adaptable to meet the changing needs of the child's development.'
A 'training for trainers' course has been developed to support staff involved in delivering the programme and supporting early years staff to be confident in encouraging parents to participate in the activities.
Baby massage classes are available in many areas and guidance on baby massage is given in the books. Rhymetime sessions from Book Bugs are available in many libraries, helping with speech and language development as well as bonding opportunities through time shared between parent and child.
Irene says, 'In some areas Play Away sessions are delivered through a six week programme encouraging parents to interact with their children using play@home activities. This can be particularly helpful for parents who may be socially isolated as an opportunity to meet other local parents.'
In 2009-2010 over 20,000 baby books were issued across Scotland and over seven hundred staff attended training sessions raising awareness of the play@home programme.
There are DVDs available to support the baby and toddler stages.
In 2000, in Fife evaluation found 89% of parents using the programme found the baby book useful or very useful and 82% found the toddler book useful or very useful. There is currently an impact evaluation of play@home being undertaken by Queen Margaret University with early findings suggesting that play@home does have a positive impact on child development and parenting.Lynsey says, 'From the beginning, I felt supported. I felt more confident because the books helped me understand what was good for my baby, I stopped feeling stupid saying nursery rhymes because I knew it was good for cognitive development. The programme helped me enjoy being with my baby; games and activities for different stages were particularly helpful.
'When I joined groups I felt more able to share what I had learnt with others. Through the play@home programme I feel more confident as a mother.'
Play@home resources are being updated and refreshed. A DVD looking at play as a medium to help develop communication skills with children with sensory loss is currently in production, using play activities from play@home as a source of good practice.
Visit the Maternal and Early Years website or more information about the
national roll-out of the play@home programme.

It's a surprise to encounter a celebrity who is just as worried about saving money as having luxury, particularly when it comes to their cars.
El Segundo, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2013
A recent trend in celebrity cars sees more and more stars driving fuel-efficient cars, reports premier personal finance site GoBankingRates.com. Today's list of celebrities driving fuel-efficient cars includes Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, and even Prince Charles. But they aren't trading fuel-efficiency for comfort; many of the models-of-choice are electric or hybrid luxury cars.
Some examples of this trend include George Clooney's Tesla Roadster, valued at $109,000, and Justin Bieber's chrome-plated Fisker Karma, valued at $102,000. Meanwhile, the average auto financing amount was just $26,673 according to a February 2013 release from the Federal Reserve, making these luxury cars nearly four times more costly than what the average American borrowed for a new car. But while these fuel-efficient cars may carry huge price tags, celebrities may be choosing them to be more eco-friendly and money-conscious.
"It's a surprise to encounter a celebrity who is just as worried about saving money as having luxury, particularly when it comes to their cars," says GoBankingRates expert contributor Stacey Bumpus. "But there are some who are marry luxury and function to drive fancy celebrity cars that are simultaneously cost efficient."
GoBankingRates did find celebrity cars that were both cost- and fuel-efficient, such as Britney Spears' recent choice of a $14,000 Mercedes-Benz Smart Car. Other affordable models favored by stars include the Chevy Volt and the Toyota Prius.

El Salvador
The pandy bat, the swift soutane,
the fierce eyes that tempt the boy to pride.
Ordinal in their ranks and rows,
the God-squad, heaven's Special Forces.
Trampling Christ's face before the smiling Inoue
in sacrifice of soul for tortured peasants.
So brave, so fired by God's love,
the Iroquois ate de Brébeuf's martyred heart.
A mighty story, terrible and true
beginning with Ignatius' shattered bones,
grace exploding from a French cannon,
unfolding with the cold steel of dawn
against the necks of five prostrate priests,
the bodies of an old schoolmaster,
a housekeeper and her terrified child.
Ignatius imprisoned in the picture,
the caves of Manresa behind his eyes,
forever doomed to write his holy book,
right hand brandishing the endless pen,
his sword long left behind at Montserrat.

The Columbia Basin College baseball team showed some promise in a season-opening 9-4 loss to Shoreline on Saturday in Pasco.
In Game 2, the Hawks lived up to that promise, destroying the Dolphins 13-2 behind a strong offensive performance and a sparkling pitching performance by Brandon Call and Steven Danek, who combined on a two-hitter.
In the opener, Mitchell Hoveke staked Shoreline to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second with a two-run home run. He drove in another run later and stole two bases. But it was pitcher Jason Shaw who shut CBC down.
"(Shaw) scattered five hits over seven innings and basically shut us down," Hawks manager Chris Staton said.
In the nightcap, the CBC offense woke up, scoring 13 runs on 10 hits. Ryan Atkinson and Jordan Feeney combined for four hits and six RBIs, and Daniel Besmer stole three bases and scored four runs.
Call allowed two runs on two hits through four innings, and Danek followed that with three hitless innings of relief.
"We were able to take advantage of some bad bounces on their behalf and get out to an early lead," Staton said. "Our pitchers did a great job of throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters. It was good to get a split after dropping the first game."
Shoreline 040 021 200 — 9 10 4
Columbia Basin 010 100 020 — 4 8 0
Shaw, Rochon (8) and Delmar; Bevington, Lutz (5), Clark (6), Neville (9) and Wogamott. Highlights—Travis Key (CBC) 3x5, 2B, R, SB; Hoveke (S) 2x4, HR, 3 RBI, 2 R, 2 SB, Fitch (S) 2 RBI.

I am stil not sure about the direction I want to take, and you already know I had a couple of crisis in past. I'll leave the feelings of this all for another post though.
I am back because I want to share with you a recipe: it is a so called Vegan Tuna /even though it has nothing to share with tuna) I took it form Oh my veggies, but I changed it a little bit
Prep Time
4 hours + 15 minutes
2 cups raw almonds
1 cup raw or roasted sunflower seeds
2 stem of celery, chopped
1/2 cup water a little of fresh parsley (to taste)
half fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1. Roast sunflower seeds
2. Place the almonds and sunflower seeds in a bowl and soak them at least for 4 hours
3. Strain the almonds and sunflower seeds and transfer them to a food processor and process until a thick, gritty paste is formed.
4. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender/food processor, and process until everything has come together.
5. Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving. Serve with crackers or veggies (I eat it with dryed tomatoes), or make it into a sandwich or wrap with your favorite fixings.
I am honest and I'd say I don't remember anymore the taste of the real tuna, but it is a smart way to eat almonds and seeds.

New Orleans — All across the city, there's an effort to spruce up things to impress visitors who will arrive in days for the Super Bowl.
Tangibles aside, officials with the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau are helping some businesses prepare for the Super Bowl by inviting the Disney Institute to town in an effort to give pointers to service-industry personnel.
"The obvious thing everyone says is why does New Orleans need hospitality training? For something like the Super Bowl, we want to go the extra mile," said Kelly Schulz, a spokeswoman for the CVB.
Free training sessions offered early this week will be held for management staff and frontline employees at any business that deals with the public, Schulz said. Management training intended for business owners or any employee in a supervisory role are three hours and will be held Tuesday from 9 a.m. to noon or from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Frontline employee training sessions will last two hours and will be held Wednesday. The two-hour sessions will be offered from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., noon to 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Training sessions will be held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on the 200 level above Hall H. Parking is available across the street in convention center parking lot F.
To register for the sessions, call (504) 566-5076 to reserve a spot for training. The Disney Institute, Disney's professional development arm, offered the same training last year in Indianapolis before it hosted the Super Bowl.
"To be able to say you partnered with Disney, it adds credibility," Schulz said. "This is going to send a message we are not resting on our laurels."

Oregon, ranked second in the BCS, and Stanford, ranked fifth, get a break next weekend before a Thursday night clash in Palo Alto, Calif., that qualifies as one of the biggest games of the season.
But it sounds as if neither team will be doing a lot of resting.
The Ducks (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) are coming off a 42-14 victory Saturday night over UCLA. The Bruins played tough in the first half, tying the game at 14 at the break, but Oregon pulled away with 28 unanswered points in the second half. Byron Marshall ran for 133 yards and three touchdowns.
Oregon remained at No. 2 in the AP Top 25 released Sunday behind top-ranked Alabama. The Bruins fell from No. 12 to 17.
Stanford (7-1, 5-1) jumped to No. 6 in the AP rankings, boosted by a physical 20-12 victory over Oregon State.
NEXT GAME: Oregon vs. Stanford, Thursday, Nov. 6, 6 p.m. on ESPN.

Speedbox mini II Router – Huawei E5786
The Speedbox LTE mini II is a new portable router for Germany Telekom, which has great improvement from its predecessor especially at speed. Because the new router is based on LTE CAT6.

In January 2013, Speedbox LTE mini came out. Again, a model was used as the previous model, which is based on a device from Huawei. The model number is Huawei E5786.
Highlights of Speedbox LTE mini II
Instead of LTE category 4 with the frequency bands 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz, the Speedbox LTE mini II is now with Category 6 and supports more bands with additional 4G at 850 MHz. Thanks to LTE CAT6, a maximum download rate of up to 300 Mbit/s is possible, which is twice the first Speedbox LTE mini. In addition to the normal Speedbox II, this is the first LTE-Advanced router available in Germany. The particularly fast standard 802.11ac allows here a data transfer of up to 433 Mbit/s, while the module sends on 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz.
The capacity of the battery was 3,000 mAh available. The dimensions remained almost the same as E5786, only the weight more slightly to 5 grams. The Speedbox Mini LTE is powered by a new chipset from Huawei HiSilicon, which comes along in 28-nanometer architecture Cortex-A9 architecture and allows the use of LTE CAT6. Furthermore, if the high-speed internet is not available, you can also rely on HSPA (+) with up to 43.2 Mbit/s, and EDGE and GPRS are also supported.
Wireless Internet Hotspot
The small dimensions make the Mini-Router an ideal travel partner. At the same time, the device has a hotspot feature that allows up to 10 other terminals to access the Internet. It's perfect to use it in apartments without power, or in the car etc.
The Speedbox LTE mini II can be ordered at Germany Telekom since mid-September 2014. At the Telekom, it will not only provides the network operator logo on the surface, a software-branding is also available. Thus for example, the wireless repeater function of the E5786 has been disabled. If you know the difference between the Speedbox LTE Mini II with E5786, you many prefer the unbranded Huawei E5786 with full functions activated. Without any SIM lock, you can take the pocket WiFi anywhere!

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
From Art is Life; Life is Art in May 2008
The best way to be more artful about your art-filled life (and your life-filled art) is, of course, to grab a kiddo and a crayon and have at it. Sometimes we spend too much time plotting and planning and too little time doing. But we are inveterate "knowers;" so be it.
Without further ado, here are some of our favorite sources of information and inspiration:
1. Our coolest friend -- If you go to one spot and one spot only, go to the gorgeous Design Mom site and work your way through the "make something" tag. Come to think of it, even if you go to lots of spots, do the same thing.
2. Our muse -- You know that our source for inspiration from matters of gratitude to matters of three-year-olds embroidering and snapping away with their cameras is Amanda Soule, our SouleMama.
3. Our professor -- Ginger Carlson (whose great new book we'll review on Monday, so mark your calendar) is the one who shows us how all this art matters, how it adds up, how it fits into parenting and development and life. You can find her work in the book, at her main site, at her blog, at her other blog (if cooking is your path to creativity), and in her newsletter.
4. Our would-be neighbor -- If Jean (aka the Artful Parent) lived right next door, then all of our darlings could join the toddler art group. And that would be grand.
5. Our wish-they-were-on-the-corner stores -- The art supplies, and practically everything else, at Natural Pod make us swoon. And the art supplies and all the other tiny person life supplies (very Montessori, whether you are devotee or a picker-and-chooser), at For Small Hands delight us.
6. Our starting place -- For all things pertaining to the littlest ones in our houses and families and circles, we turn early and often to Rookie Moms. They have great activity ideas for the younger set, as well as for preschoolers. And their new book is the perfect way to start -- or start over!

LWR began working in India in the 1950s by sending relief supplies to address the needs of those affected by famine and disease. LWR's work has evolved significantly over time to focus on long-term development needs. LWR's approach in India focuses on breaking the cycle of poverty for the most marginalized populations, including tribals, Dalits and women, through agriculture, climate change and emergency operations programs. LWR works in partnership with Indian civil society groups in Bihar state.
LWR's agriculture and food security programs employ an agricultural value chain approach, increasing access to inputs and markets, leveraging community assets and building smallholder farmers' technical capacity to generate higher value-added for agricultural products and create win-win relationships among actors at all stages of the value chain. In India, LWR fosters the establishment of Self Help Groups (SHGs) in rural communities to bring farmers together to increase crop productivity, quality and post-harvest processing and storage. LWR promotes climate-smart agriculture practices and provides field trainings, tools and technology to increase knowledge, skills and yields from crops, such as rice, wheat and vegetables. Farmer-to-farmer exchange visits and community demonstration plots are fora for sharing learnings and techniques among peer groups. SHGs facilitate farmer access to credit, provide entrée to more lucrative markets and support farmers to gain better prices than selling individually would. Furthermore, SHGs can be used as a learning platform, training on and supporting the application of new techniques and crop choices. LWR strengthens SHG capacity by supporting business planning, building leadership and management skills and providing skills on organizational governance and networking to ensure SHG sustainability.
LWR has experienced impressive food security gains through the application of Systematic Rice Intensification (SRI) techniques, which require less water and are less labor intensive than traditional approaches. SRI has doubled crop yields, increased food security by 6 to 7 months on average and led to year-round rice availability in target communities. A similar technique applied to wheat production has resulted in 3 additional months of household food supply per family per year. LWR also works with communities to establish Water Users' Groups, which develop norms for water distribution and manage irrigation and water infrastructure to sustainably increase cropping intensity.
LWR seeks to empower women's decision-making at the community and household levels to help women flourish in business, the community and the family. In one program in Bihar, project participants have increased their incomes by up to 40%, allowing them to send children to school, afford basic and much-needed health care services, and meet their families' basic needs. Access to credit through banks and revolving SHG loans and training on non-farm trades supports the creation of micro-enterprises for homestead vegetable cultivation, animal husbandry and even collective agriculture on leased land.
Disaster Risk Reduction
Rural communities in India are vulnerable to frequent natural hazards, including flash floods, landslides and earthquakes. At the same time, poverty affords communities few resources to prepare for or mitigate the effects of these hazards and even fewer resources to recover. LWR and its local partners implement programs focused on mitigation of the effects of climate change. To reduce the risk and impact of frequent natural hazards in India, LWR partners with civil society actors that foster community preparedness through outreach and awareness material and activities, trainings, and community-developed disaster risk management plans. LWR supports the formation of village-level Disaster Management Committees, which lead community efforts focused on disaster risk reduction planning. Participant communities with evacuation plans and early warning systems are less vulnerable to natural disasters and prepared to respond to disasters in a coordinated and organized manner.
India is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, including floods, tsunami, cyclones and earthquakes. At the time of an emergency, LWR assesses community needs, as well as our partner organizations' capacity to address those needs, and responds accordingly. Emergency operations programs can include cash transfers, provision of non-food items, shelter repair or construction, water, sanitation & hygiene projects and/or trauma counseling for affected families. LWR and its partners implemented emergency projects in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, as well as the 2008 Bihar floods.
LWR believes strongly that those affected by disasters have a right to life with dignity, the right to receive humanitarian assistance and the right to protection and security, in line with the Humanitarian Charter. LWR is committed to international standards of quality and accountability in emergency operations and has trained local partner organizations on the Sphere Project and the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership, in alignment with LWR's principles and commitment to developing resilient communities.

Pictured: 3rd View and Untitled, Laura Von Rosk, oil on panel.
Owned by Trish Lyell, Visiting Assistant Professor, Drawing / Painting
I traded a work of mine for Laura's smaller painting. But then after having it for a long time, it's sort of funny, but I wanted more. I mean, I wanted more as in more of Laura's work, but I also wanted more in the image - I wanted something to happen in this landscape. Now I really love that they're together. I would never hang one in one place and the other someplace else. It's more the space they occupy on the wall than how they relate pictorially…. Because they're so little, you tend to look at them up close; but since sometimes you're not close, having two – well, it's an overused word, but they saturate the wall. They have more presence in the room, without sacrificing their physical littleness.
Part of what matters to me about owning art is the idea that somebody crafted it – whether they are well-known or not, I can see that it was made…. And I can't imagine living without that, or with stuff someone else, like an interior decorator, picked out. That's such a bizarre, soulless thing – to have someone else choose what you live with.
Trish Lyell, 2012
