Who are Francis M Shively and wife, Emily Crites who are located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio records? There are several records which were located that give the researcher working on this family some clues.
The following article gives interesting information regarding the family:
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Thursday, April 5, 1917, Page 4, Column 4:
Wedding Germ Surely Struck These Families
Three Marriages Among Kin Take Place In One Day
Is there a matrimonial germ and is it contagious?
That is the questions asked by Mrs. Anna Rapp, 891 E. 73rd street, and Mrs. Emily Shively, 1202 E. 170th street, five members of whose homes, together with a neighbor of Mrs. Shively, were principals in three marriages yesterday.
It all began when a week or so ago Guy C. Campion, 30, pressman with the Cleveland Press and son of Mrs. Rapp, announced he a Miss Beaber, 23 who had been making her home with her fiance's mother, were to be married yesterday. Not to be outdone by his brother, Ray Rapp, 22 motion picture operator, and Miss Eva Shively, 20, 12 E. 170th street, decided Tuesday to make it a double wedding.
At the last moment Joseph F. Shively, 29, brother of Miss Shively, made it known that he and Miss Ruth Prill, 20, a neighbor living at 1136 E. 169th street, had likewise determined to get married.
Licenses were issued yesterday to all there couples. The first two couples were married in the forenoon by Justice W. J. Zoul. Mr. Shively and Miss Prill were married by Rev. Jacob H. Merkel, 65 Emily stree, East Cleveland.
The marriage for Francis M Shively and Emily Crites is located in Wayne County, Ohio. Per the record they were married on July 24, 1882.
The 1900 Cuyahoga County, Newburgh Township, lists Emily Shively as head of the household. She records that she has given birth to eight children and that all eight are still living. Listed on this census are seven of the eight children. Also living with the family is her father, John Crites, a widow, who was born September 1832 in Ohio. Listed on this record are the following children and dates of birth for Francis and Emily: Ella M born July 1883; Edwin W born April 1885; Joseph F born December 1887; Glen born June 1892; Earl born April 1894; twin sister Pearl born April 1894; and Eva born June 1896. It is not known why Emily's husband, Francis Shively, is not listed with the family. A date of death was not located for him but he does not appear on any of the census records with the family. Most of the 1890 census records were destroyed but had they survived it is probable he would have been located with the family.
Emily Shively is listed on the 1910 Ashtabula County, Ohio census with a job listed that she runs the district school wagon. Emily is listed in the Ohio death records as being born on December 27, 1864 and died August 7, 1925. She was buried in the Lakeview Cemetery. Her parents are listed as John Crites and Mary Weinner (Waisner).
Francis M Shively is listed on the 1870 and 1880 Wayne County, town of Wooster, Ohio census records. He is in the household of Joseph A Shively and wife, Margaret. Records show that a Joseph Shively married Josephine Margaret Poncler in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on 29-August-1857. From these census reports Francis M Shively would have been born about 1861.

Lunch @ Fritz's Smoked Meats
I had driven past many times and heard radio commercials for this smoke house in the unassuming brick building at State Line Road and I-435. Once I even tried to stop, but it was 5:02 pm and that place was locked up tight!
So when I was passing by recently in the middle of the afternoon, I decided to drop in for a sandwich. The commercials rave about the amazing smoked meat piled high between two slices. So I asked for either the best or the most popular.
The Bette Rogers was the clear choice. It's a sandwich stacked with barbequed brisket, ham, bacon, onion, artichokes and roasted red peppers. Finished with mustard and mayo, this puppy sounded hard to beat.
So I was pretty disappointed when I bit in and tasted a boring string of ingredients that didn't seem to work together at all. I think the bread was the most distracting part. The thick hoagie bun had very little flavor and was so dry it sucked up the moisture from the other ingredients with every chew.
I knew a place like this couldn't have been in business this long if something weren't really good. So I dissected my sandwich to evaluate each component on its own. The brisket was pretty tender but didn't have much flavor – smoky or otherwise – and the barbeque sauce was rather dull. Now the thinly sliced ham, that was a winner! Deep brown, the juicy meat had a delicate smokiness. I wanted some of this to go home for snacking later in the week.
In choosing a side, I asked what was made in-house. The beans were recommended. Unfortunately, they were perhaps the worst baked beans I've ever tasted. It's sad, but I think I prefer VanCamps out of the can. These didn't taste much like barbeque or beans.
I might return for a pound or two of that ham and would maybe try some smoked pork chops. But sadly, I won't be stopping in for another sandwich.
I am sure they will be glad that you don't stop in. Your tastes are what they are but grow up and stop trashing places that have been in business making money for years longer than you are old.January 30, 2013

This is why food bloggers are terrible. They have zero information and a few hours of watching Rachael Ray and boom their an expert. You probably don't realize this place smokes the meat for some of the same bbq places you have raved about on your blog. Put a famous name next to the meat and it's amazing but don't know much about the place and trash it. Food bloggers are the worst.January 30, 2013

I agree with your evaluation of the place. The food does not live up to its reputation.January 30, 2013

Over the coming months I will be building a Kickstarter to allow me to focus solely on Skulldred and bring it to publication.
As you may know, life has been an unending series of challenges for me over the last three years, and my focus has been on finding housing and full time work. Sadly, the Australian games industry just hasn't been able to deliver, and political situations overseas have made it impossible for a woman like me to relocate to where the industry is more healthy.
Having resurrected the project for GXAustralia and received a huge support via Twitter, I have realized that this is a special opportunity. By focusing on a kickstarter, I can be able to raise the money I need to put a roof over my head and work full time for a few months on bringing this game, it's expansions and miniatures to life. It should be sufficient to turn my life around.
So I thought I would start with some penciled in goals- love to hear your thoughts in the comments:
Things I know I can achieve without physical studio space:
PDF only goals:
- The Skulldred Core Rulebook PDF
- Expansion 1: Battle for Spited Woods PDF (scenario campaign, including pogs, papercraft minis, printable scenery)
- Expansion 2: 6 Pints of Skulldred - Tavern Brawl Rules PDF- tavern floorplans, pogs, papercraft minis, cards
- Expansion 3: Bride of Skulldred- more advanced optional rules, campaign rules, golems, larger scale combat, more spells, loot
- Expansion 4: Slave To Skulldred- single player rules and missions, wandering monsters cards
- Expansion 5: Skullcraft- modelling, painting, scenery ideas, making dungeons, converting minis
- The Skulldred Core Rulebook - full color Hardcopy book

An electrician charged with falsifying inspection records at an unfinished nuclear reactor in Tennessee was sentenced Thursday to two years of probation and community service after he apologized for causing any nuclear fears.
"I would like to apologize to all the residents who now sleep less securely as a result of my actions," Matthew Correll told U.S. District Judge Curtis L. Collier. "I wish I could explain to them they have nothing to fear from nuclear plants in their backyards."
Correll, who had no prior criminal record, said his hasty workplace decision bans him from continuing a nuclear career that he loved.
Defense attorney Myrlene Marsa said her client broke the law by hastily obeying a supervisor's orders to hurry up and get the job done instead of making the required inspection.
U.S. Attorney Bill Killian and Tennessee Valley Authority officials said at a March news conference after Correll's arrest that the falsified records posed no harm to the public. The news came amid publicity about the nuclear disaster in Japan.
Correll, 31, was charged with falsifying reports while working in August 2010 at the Watts Bar Unit 2 reactor, the only site in the nation where a commercial reactor is now under construction.
Prosecutors said he lied about measuring the diameter of cables designed to provide electric power to operate equipment, including safety systems, in the reactor containment structure at the plant in Spring City between Knoxville and Chattanooga.
A court filing shows Correll was part of a crew working in an area where an asbestos suit and respirator had to be worn and temperatures exceeded 100 degrees. The filing said the records were falsified on the spur of the moment when Correll was told to "hurry up and get it done."
Correll worked for Williams Specialty Services of Tucker, Ga., and pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors. The plea agreement had reduced the maximum possible five year sentence and $250,000 fine to a maximum of six months.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James Brooks told the judge that even though prosecutors agreed to recommend a lesser sentence, some incarceration would be a deterrent to others who work at nuclear plants and might be in a position to "take a shortcut."
"We believe there are many eyes watching this case," Brooks said. "It is an industry that demands that there be very few errors."
The judge said he received letters vouching for Correll's good character before saying incarceration was unnecessary. The judge acknowledged Marsa's comments about Correll's shame and noted that _ much like media coverage of the case _ there was a time when criminals were taken to the public square as a message to everyone else that "this could happen to you." The judge also sentenced Correll to 100 hours of community service.
Correll and his attorney left the courthouse without making any comment.
Correll's then-supervisor at Williams Specialty, John E. Delk, has also been charged. His attorney, Jim Logan, said Thursday that Delk would plead guilty to the same felony charge Nov. 9.
Correll and Delk no longer work for Williams Specialty Services, a subcontractor on TVA's $2.5 billion, 1,200-megawatt reactor project. The company previously issued a statement saying it has cooperated with the investigation.
TVA, the nation's largest public utility, supplies power to customers in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.

Interaction Design
Interaction design ensures efficient navigation & seamless UX
Is your website or web portal intuitive to use? Does it enable your customers to move through their tasks quickly, easily and seamlessly? Interaction design accomplishes these goals by creating streamlined and effective navigation that aligns with your customers' or users' key tasks.
We define a navigation approach that best fits the way customers look for information on your website or web portal. Our interaction design process ensures you deliver an optimized customer and user experience while achieving your organisation's business goals.
get it right the first time
Creating a usable website from the start reduces costs over the long-term. We combine deep expertise with industry best practices in interaction design to get it right, out of the gate.
Understanding your business goals, user tasks and information structure is the first step in designing the interaction for your site. This knowledge provides the foundation of good user experience design – understanding your target groups and their tasks.
The typical duration for conducting interaction design is 3-8 weeks.
how we do it
We create a high level navigational design with relevant controls and widgets and often integrate a responsive design solution to make your offering available regardless of platform.
This high level design is followed by detailed interaction design captured in wireframes (schematics of the screen and flow) where we demonstrate how the user will interact with your website step-by-step.
We use the wireframes for reviews with stakeholders and software engineers and for early usability testing.
what you get
We develop a final set of wireframes that capture an optimized user flow for your web portal and can be used for design specifications and for early usability testing.
Our approach to interaction design de-risks your investment and enables customers and users to quickly and easily access the full range of your content, while reflecting your business goals.

Since arriving on campus as a freshman in the fall of 1970, Howard Gordon '74 M'78 has connected people from all walks of life, from all backgrounds. He is perhaps one of the most visible, most recognizable people on the SUNY Oswego campus, and has been for nearly 50 years.
A two-time alumnus of Oswego with a bachelor's in history in 1974 and a master's in English in 1978, Gordon has held many titles during his tenure at Oswego—student, counselor in the Office of Special Programs, assistant dean for arts and sciences, assistant provost for academic affairs and social equity and, for the past 20 years, executive assistant to the president and special assistant for social equity.
He has provided consistency in leadership for the campus and has been the voice for not only students and employees of color, but the entire campus community as well.
He is the co-founder of the ALANA Student Leadership Conference, which has brought the campus together for 30 years to celebrate the multicultural college environment. Gordon is also an accomplished author whose short story "After Dreaming of President Johnson" is included in the prestigious collection, Children of the Night: The Best Short Stories by Black Writers. He is the recipient of the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service and the National Association of Presidential Assistants in Higher Education 2012 Award for Distinguished Service.
In recognition of his professional accomplishments and service to the campus, the Oswego Alumni Association (OAA) recognized Gordon with the 2016 Lifetime Award of Merit. President Deborah F. Stanley and Betsy Oberst, OAA executive director and associate vice president of alumni relations and stewardship, presented the award to him on Sept. 24 at the 30th Annual ALANA Banquet in the Sheldon Hall Ballroom.
The OAA received 16 letters of support for his nomination to receive this award—more than any other award nomination in recent history. Letters came from alumni who represented more than four decades. Each outlined the important role Gordon played in their lives.
Tiphanie Gonzalez '05 M'07, assistant professor of counseling and psychological services, said she feels fortunate to have benefited from Gordon's guidance both as a student and as a faculty member.
"As a woman of color on campus, Howard has been part of my support system in a place where not a lot of people look like me," Gonzalez said. "He is someone who is available even though he is always busy … that approachability and mentorship have been an important part of my growth here at SUNY Oswego."
Michael K. Cox '76 met Gordon during his first semester on campus and has remained connected to him for the past 44 years.
"He is a man of conviction and action," Cox wrote in his letter of support. "He understands the simple truth that education changes lives, families and communities. I cannot think of a more deserving person to receive this award."

Scout councils (Boy Scouts of America)
|Local councils of the Boy Scouts of America
The Ideal Scout, a statue by R. Tait McKenzie in front of the Bruce S. Marks Scout Resource Center in the Cradle of Liberty Council in Philadelphia
The program of the Boy Scouts of America is administered through 272 local councils, with each council covering a geographic area that may vary from a single city to an entire state. Each council receives an annual charter from the National Council and is usually incorporated as a charitable organization.[1] Most councils are administratively divided into districts that directly serve Scout units.
Councils fall into one of four regions: Western, Central, Southern, and Northeast.[1] Each region is then subdivided into areas. The total number of councils depends on how they are counted:
- There are 272 individual local councils
- Direct Service covers units outside of local councils— although technically not a council it is assigned a council number
- Greater New York Councils has five boroughs, each with an assigned council number
- Michigan Crossroads Council has four field service councils, each with an assigned council number
The council level organization is similar to that of the National Council. Councils are headed by a collective of three people known as the 'Key 3'.[2] The Key 3 consists of the Scout executive, a paid employee who administers a staff of professional Scouters; a council president, a volunteer, serves as the chairman of a volunteer board of directors; and a council commissioner, also a volunteer, coordinates the efforts of trained volunteers who provide direct service to the units (Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, etc.).[3]
The council executive board is headed by the council president and is made up of annually elected local community leaders.[4] The board establishes the council program and carries out the resolutions, policies, and activities of the council. Board members serve without pay and some are volunteer Scouters working at the unit level. Youth members may be selected to the council executive board according to the council by-laws.[3]
The Scout executive manages council operations—including finance, property management, advancement and awards, registrations, and Scout Shop sales—with a staff of other professionals and para-professionals.[3] Volunteer commissioners lead the unit service functions of the council, help maintain the standards of the BSA, and assures a healthy unit program.[5]
Councils are divided into districts with leadership provided by the district executive, district chairman, and the district commissioner.[1] Districts are directly responsible for the operation of Scouting units and, except for the district executive, are mostly staffed with volunteers.[3] The voting members of each district consist of volunteer representatives from each chartered organization having at least one BSA unit, plus annually elected members-at-large who in turn elect the district chairman. Boroughs and districts are subdivisions of the local council and do not have a separate corporate status.[6]
At the time of its incorporation in 1910, and for the first three years of the BSA's existence, local councils were formed by any group of men who felt that a Scouting council was needed in their community.[7] Later, local councils could only be formed by charter.[8]
In 1913, the first local council charters were issued to first-class and second-class councils.[9]
First class councils were located in America's largest cities at that time: New York City, Boston, Washington DC, and Chicago.
A second class council, [like the Kingsville Council], utilized volunteers or part-timers while first class councils had a full-time Scout Executive. A first class council had to serve a population of about 25,000 and raise $5,000 to cover its first year of operation.— South Texas Council, South Texas BSA
Other locations received charters to operate "Area Councils," which served entire states and portions of other states: Philadelphia, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles, and various others.[10]
At first, local councils were known by names rather than by numbers. The practice of giving a name to a council (e.g., Portland Council in Maine, formed in 1925) continued until Scouting underwent an explosion of interest in the late 1920s/early 1930s, which resulted in a larger number of local councils being formed. BSA records note that more than 100 local councils were formed in 1931 alone.[11]
Local councils vary in size, sometimes dramatically. Thatcher Woods Council in the western suburbs of Chicago, for example, consisted of eleven city blocks and a small county forest tract. Santa Ana's Orange County Council is defined by the borders of Orange County and encompasses a large, densely populated urban area. The Katahdin Area Council of north-central Maine consists of nearly 18,000 square miles and represents almost one-third of the population and two-thirds of the land area of the state of Maine; it is the largest council east of the Mississippi River.[12] The Philippines Council encompassed the entire Philippines archipelago, making it one of the few councils that comprised an entire nation.[13]
By the end of the 1930s, the BSA had catalogued more than 750 local councils,[14] which made managing and tracking individual "named" councils challenging. In order to better track organizational growth, in the early 1940s the national office undertook a study to determine the best way to manage the myriad councils that now made up the organization.[13]
The first phase of the BSA's restructuring occurred in 1945. At first, the nation had been divided into eight districts.[9] That year, the BSA divided the nation into twelve regions, each with a Roman numeral to distinguish themselves from the council number (Region I - XII). Councils in each Region were identified by headquarters city and state. A resolution at the National Meeting in 1945 obligated the BSA to assign council numbers only to those councils within the continental US; those councils located outside the United States were not assigned a council number.[15] In 1949 there were 543 councils.[16]
In 1959, the addition of Alaska and Hawaii as the 49th and 50th states, respectively, disrupted the numbering system and made it much less prominent. Councils generally resumed use of geographical names (e.g., the Flint River Council or the Four Lakes Council) and provided their council number only when giving annual data to the central organization. Use of numbers to identify councils fell into further disuse when some of the smaller local councils found that it was in their best interest to combine with neighboring councils; for example, the Cumberland Council in Somerset, Kentucky combined with the Bluegrass Council in Lexington, Kentucky, and three Councils in northwest Texas combined to become the Northwest Texas Council.[17]
As a result of such mergers, by 1960 the BSA had 490 local Councils, a significant reduction from 532 in 1932.[18] Circa 1960, the BSA renumbered all local Councils in alphabetical order by state and headquarters city. That numbering system remains in use today. In this sequence, Council "Number 1" (not the 'oldest BSA Council') was originally called the Choccolocco Council that was headquartered in Anniston, Alabama. That Council, combined with two others, now forms the Greater Alabama Council, headquartered from Huntsville, Alabama. There were several breaks in the numbering sequence, resulting in the highest numeric designation being council 639, the Jim Bridger Council in Wyoming.[19]
Councils outside the US were given numbers that began with 800, which was assigned to the Direct Service Council. Council number 801 was assigned to the Panama Canal Zone Council; 802 was assigned to the EUCOM (later Transatlantic Council); 803 was assigned to the Far East Council; 804 was assigned to the Philippines Area Council; and 805 was initially assigned to Saudi Arabia and parts of the Middle East. Later, this region was restored to the supervision of the Direct Service Council and the number retired.[20]
The BSA also encouraged districts within a council to be in numerical order by the closeness to the Council office, and units were "recommended to be numbered according to the District in which they reside". However, in 1975 the BSA changed its policy and authorized individual councils to provide local numbers as they saw fit.[21]
In 1967 the BSA expanded its council numbers above 639, when it allowed the Greater New York Councils, consisting of the five boroughs in New York City along with the City itself their own Council number (NYC, #640; then in alphabetical order, Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island).[19] In 1971, the BSA started a new row of Council numbers starting with the Rainbow Council in Morris, Illinois (#702).[19]
In 1976, the BSA allowed the Boston Council and the other councils surrounding Boston (Cambridge, Minuteman, and North Bay) to form a "consolidated council" similar to the way that New York City and the five boroughs were organized. This consolidated council was designated as council 850. However, the effort failed and the councils split again in 1979; eventually the Boston, Cambridge and Minuteman merged into the Boston Minuteman Council, while North Bay became part of the Yankee Clipper.[22]
Councils by size[edit]
The BSA categorizes councils by size. Currently, there are five categories of council: (1) Mega Councils (the top 20 local Councils by youth membership and units), (2) Metro Councils (the next 20 or so local Councils), (3) Medium Councils, (4) Small Market Councils, and (5) Community Councils, which are the smallest, normally taking in large neighborhoods or one or two cities.[23] Geographically, a council like the Montana Council serving most of the state of Montana, or the Midnight Sun Council serving the interior of Alaska have the largest coverage areas, but relatively few scouts. Council size may also fluctuate because of mergers, like the repeated merger and splitting of the Monterey Bay Area Council (#025) and the Santa Clara County Council (#055).[24]

Unique councils[edit]
The Greater New York Councils is the only council in the nation divided into smaller councils.[27] It is divided into five borough councils with each led by a field director and one or more district directors or district executives. Conversely, due to Scouting population and geographic distance, the Utah National Parks Council is organized into 39 districts divided among 12 geographic sectors,[28] with each led by a volunteer assistant vice president and assistant council commissioner with each sector.[29]
The organization of the councils in Area 2 of the Central Region is unique to Michigan. The Michigan Crossroads Council was created by the merger of nine councils in the lower peninsula of Michigan. It is a coordinating council that oversees properties, personnel, and program. This MCC is then split into four sub-councils or "Field Service Councils" which are then divided into districts.[30]
Overseas areas[edit]
The BSA charters two councils for American Scouts living overseas, largely on military bases in Europe and Asia. The Transatlantic Council, headquartered in Livorno, Italy, serves BSA units in much of Europe, and the Far East Council, headquartered at Camp Zama in Japan, serves units in the western Pacific areas. The Aloha Council in Hawaii also serves BSA units in the American territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and in the sovereign countries of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau.[31]
The Direct Service branch enables U.S. citizens and their dependents abroad to access Scouting programs in other locations and in isolated areas.[32]
Defunct councils[edit]
The local councils have gone through thousands of name changes, merges, splits and re-creations since the establishment of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910.[20][33]

Happy New Year!! Hope everyone's having a fun (and safe) night as we count down the final moments til 2014. Is it just me, or does the number 2014 suddenly sound very future-y? We've still got a while to go before our video games start running on Sword Art Online's virtual-reality Nerve Gear, though. Until then, we'll have to remain content with speculative fiction. Good thing Aniplex just put out a teaser trailer for Sword Art Online II!
Seems like the show will take a dramatic departure from the high fantasy setting of the games featured in the previous season. Personally, I much preferred the eponymous game environment that made up the first chunk of the series, as opposed to Alfheim Online in the second.
It will be interesting to see where this third arc takes the story. If it follows the light novel series, we're heading into the highly competitive Gun Gale Online. According to Wikipedia, "It is a virtual game world with a main focus on guns, although melee weapons like lightsabers and knives also exist. From all the games it is the most competitive one as the money earned there can be exchanged for currency used in the real world, drawing high-tier professional players to make a living from it."
The bullets start flying in 2014.

The expertise of our cardiac specialists has been making a lot of news in recent weeks, particularly those specializing in heart valve replacements. As you'll see in the featured stories below, a Queens woman was the first patient in New York – and only the second in the nation – to have a mitral valve replaced using a catheter. This minimally invasive procedure was performed by a team headed by Lenox Hill Hospital's Dr. Carlos Ruiz and Dr. Gregory Fontana. Similarly, LIJ Medical Center's cardiac team, led by Dr. Jacob Scheinerman, was the first in Queens and Long Island to implant the first FDA-approved, nonsurgical heart valve device to treat severe aortic stenosis.
There was also heart drama recently at Southside Hospital, where a team led by Dr. Robert Kalimi saved a mother of two who sustained an aortic transaction – a tear in the heart – during a hit-and-run car crash.

Someone reading the list of traits and pictures of my ideal boyfriend/partner that I've written on my vision board might say, "Gosh you expect a lot!" Well, yes. Yes I do.
I don't remember when I first created a vision board towards my ideal romantic partner, but I've been updating and tweaking my board ever since. Each time I've updated my vision board, I emphasize what I like about an ideal partner and relationship based on what I've recently experienced in a relationship. And each time I enter a new relationship, I get about 95% of what I ask for!
I'm not kidding! A wonderful man walks into my life, and I think, "Wow. He has the traits that are on my vision board!" And when the relationship has ended, I think, "Okay, I need to add ___________ (fill in the blank) to my board for the next relationship."
What is a vision board? A vision board is a board (poster board, canvas, construction paper, etc) on which you place images and words of the what or who you desire to manifest in your life. I have a vision board for career, health, finances, family, home, vacation, etc. You cut out images from magazines, write words in magic marker, add anything you want. The point is the process of immersing yourself in the idea of what you desire, putting feeling into it, imagining, believing, and being open to receiving.
So what's on my vision board?
Come to this Saturday's Vision Board Playshop to find out! And create your own vision board, whether you're currently in a romantic relationship and the relationship needs a lift; or you've been in a relationship for decades and want to redefine your relationship; or you are looking for someone new to complement your life.
For men and women alike!
Keeping with this month's theme of Surrounding Yourself With Love, our playshop is called

With two girls under 3 years old, we have amassed quite the collection of stuffed animals. We have stuffed animals of almost every Sesame Street character, stuffed animals of a few Mickey Mouse Clubhouse characters, stuffed animals of various baby dolls, stuffed animals of random farm animals (like a stuffed pig, stuffed cow, stuffed chicken, etc.) We used large baskets to corral these guys for a long time, but that didn't really do a great job.
Storing the stuffed animals in baskets wasn't a perfect solution because it wasn't possible to identify and take out one particular animal at a time. When the kids wanted one stuffed animal in particular, it resulted in pouring out of the whole basket of animals onto the floor. Not pretty… not pretty at all!
So this post served as my inspiration for this stuffed animal display / stuffed animal storage / stuffed animal organizer. Let's get right to the tutorial, shall we?
Stuffed animal storage ideas- DIY
Supplies Needed:
- Thin ribbon
- Clothespins
- Hanger to affix it to the wall (I used a simple picture hook hanger; you could also use a nail or screw.)
Tutorials for Stuffed Animal Organizer:
- Determine the length of your ribbon based on the number of stuffed animals you have as well as how long you want the finished stuffed animal organizer to be.
- Cut your ribbon to this length.
- Form a large knot or two at the bottom of the ribbon. Thread two clothespins through the ribbon using the center hoop in the center of the clothespins.
- Skip several inches (I skipped about 5inches) and form another few knots. Top with two or three more clothespins.
- Skip another several inches, form another two knots and top with more clothespins.
- Repeat this process until all your clothespins are threaded.
- Form another loop in the ribbon at the top. Slip this knot over your picture hanger (or nail or screw) in the wall to hang up your stuffed animal organizer.
- Attach your stuffed animals by clipping a part of the stuffed animal with the clothespins.
*TIP: Note that the finished product looks best when the stuffed animals on the lower clothespins are behind the ones of the upper clothespins. This way, all the clothespins are basically hidden! In other words, after you've loaded up all the clothespins, starting from the second-from-the-bottom clothespins, pull the animals' legs in front of the bottom clothespins. Then move onto the third-from-the-bottom clothespins and pull those animals' legs in front of the second-from-the-bottom clothespins. Repeat for the whole length of the organizer.
I used Dollar Tree clothespins and they worked well enough. However, more heavy-duty clothespins would allow you hang bigger, heavier pieces. So if you have very big or heavy pieces, you may want to use more expensive clothespins.
I love how my playroom is coming along. This stuffed animal organizer is a wonderful addition to this space. It allows all the animals to hang beautifully in the corner of the room, gets them off the floor, and allows my girls to pick any one to take off without making a huge mess!

Thanks so much for linking to my post – that's so awesome that you found it helpful!
Your version looks great and I hope you get as much use out of it as we do…
: )
Very nice idea. So simple and yet so helpful. Thanks for sharing.
My two are now in their teens so we don't have so many soft toys anymore, but your soft toy hanger would have been the answer to our storage problem when they were little.
I will be sharing this post as I am sure there are plenty of parents who have more soft toys than they know what to do with.

First up is my Ozotic splatter mani. Multichromes are pretty much my favorite finish of polish so I knew I had to try this eventually! It was hard to pick what I was going to use for this, originally I had 5 different polishes I was going to use but I decided to go the less is more route and I'm so glad I did! I used OPI Black Onyx as my base and did the splatter with Ozotic 502 and Ozotic 505. This was flashing like a billion colors...gold, purple, green, blue, pink, orange. Amazing! I think I still like my CND Effects splatter is my favorite but this is a close second!
Tons more pics after the jump (which hopefully works, fingers crossed!)
Now onto holo, I thought this would be such an amazing splatter...I was kinda wrong lol! This one is more of a fail but I still wanted to show it! I had some trouble with one of the polishes I decided to use...Nfu Oh 61. I would not recommend that. I cut the major fail finger out in most of the pictures but I left it in the last one. When the Nfu Oh did decide to cooperate the result was pretty awesome! This was hard to photograph, it did look better in real life!
I used BB Couture Carla as the base and OPI DS Glamour, OPI DS Original and Nfu Oh 61 for the splatter
Don't forget to check out my tutorial if you want to do this yourself!

Vermont is one of the prettiest states to drive through. On any road you take, you will surely get a gorgeous view of the Adirondack mountains off in the distance; often you'll have a view of mountains to both your left and right. In the summer is when it is most beautiful. The trees are luscious with green leaves, and the grass grows tall. It is in the summer that you truly begin to realize why we call ourselves the "Green Mountain State".
This is what makes a one hour commute to work everyday a little less boring, and a little more enjoyable.
Not only is the scenery worth the drive, but you'll never be bored driving on these streets. Normally on my way to work and back, I will pass by a series of farms. Vermont as a state has more cows than people, just another thing that makes it so interesting. So as I drive by these farms, I will usually see cows out grazing, and sometimes even horses! It's nice to see horses and cows as you drive along on a hot summery day, but turtles?
Around this time of year, I've noticed, sporadic groups of turtles start to come out. How do they get here? I have no idea! We aren't nearby any ocean, that's for sure. But regardless, it is not too uncommon to see a turtle, especially if you're hanging out around the Waterfront, or somewhere with moisture. Where I saw this turtle however, was entirely unexpected.
As I was driving home from work yesterday, passing through my usual route of mountains, farms, and small towns, I saw a small bump in the road up ahead. At first I didn't think it was anything, perhaps just something that had flown onto the road. Driving up towards it though, the closer I got, the more I began to realize that it was moving. Rather slowly, which was odd. What on earth? The wheels of my car kept turning, as I kept staring at this creature. Within moments I realized it also had a neck, and a shell, and …wait what? All these observations happened in about one second of time – the speed limit on this rather empty road was 50 mph. And before I could even slow down, I heard a quiet, but discreet "cracking" noise as my car tires bounced slightly up in the air.
It was then that I realized what I had done. A turtle. I had just run over a turtle. A turtle that, apparently like the cows and horses, liked to graze on farmland. Though I felt terrible for possibly having killed this poor thing, I was far more confused and completely frazzled. The rest of my way home, I could not stop thinking about how I would phrase this story to my family, and just how they would react. Would they too be surprised? I couldn't imagine how one would react as though this were a completely normal event, to see turtles on the road.
And as if that wasn't enough, there was another fun adventure waiting for me as I drove into work this morning. Taking the same route again, I passed over a few hills, and through curvatures in the road. Trees on both my left and right. I then passed through Bristol, a cute little town on the way to Middlebury. Next came the "Vermont Bug Store", which I have never stepped foot inside, but am, with good reason, very curious about. Once past the store, I drove through a series of farms.
At first all seemed normal, though I was driving behind an incredibly slow, and rather muddy, green pick-up truck. So needless to say, I was getting a little bored on this drive, but that surely did not last long. All of a sudden the truck halted to a screeching stop, and I hit my breaks, a little alarmed. And before I even stretched my neck to see what was going on up ahead, the corner of my eye caught glimpse of a large brown object. When I focused in, I saw that there was a cow running fast and in random directions. She seemed to be trying to escape a tractor that had persistently been following her. I assumed the woman driving the tractor owned the cow, and was just trying to get her back on the farm. I could not stop laughing at the scene. Here we were, about 10 cars, just stopped in the middle of the road, watching this frantic cow as it ran to and from both sides of the street.
And so we waited patiently for her to calm down…eventually this little cow did get back onto the farm. She still had a piece of hay in her mouth she'd been carrying around with her since her run started. Once all was quiet again, my old friend the pick up truck began his engine, and we continued on our drive down to the college.
As I sit here, summarizing my past two commutes, I am reminded once again of why I chose Vermont, and Middlebury in particular. Though we are in a remote location, it never ceases to amaze me how many wonderful, funny, and amusing things can happen to a person here in just one week.

T-Mobile and Tony Hawk have a positive relationship like not many carriers and celebrities do. The pro skateboarder turned media superstar has always been a good friend of Magenta's, and they've never been afraid to give him special treatment. At one point, they even made a Tony Hawk special edition Sidekick. But do they love him enough to give him an unreleased phone like a T-Mobile branded Galaxy Nexus?
Mr. Hawk posted a picture on Twitter today (from Instagram no less) that features a close up of a Galaxy Nexus with the text "I love T-Mobile." How do we know it's a Galaxy Nexus? For one, it's the stock Android 4.0 data usage menu from in the settings. And if you compare what's being displayed in the picture to the same thing on a Nexus S, it's obvious whatever Tony has sports a bigger display than the Nexus S.
As to why Tony Hawk is posting a picture of a Galaxy Nexus and talking about his love for T-Mobile, we don't really know. The international Galaxy Nexus works just fine with T-Mobile. He could just be bragging about his data, or the tethering app you can just barely see at the bottom of the Nexus' display. But he could be talking about a free T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus he was lucky enough to score before it went to retail.
Mind you this is all speculation at this point, but we're an Android blog, and that's what Android blogs do. So what do you think, did Tony Hawk just accidentally spoil T-Mobile's secret plans to sell the Galaxy Nexus? We know quite a few of our readers out there would love that, so we'll keep our fingers crossed. But not for a Tony Hawk branded Nexus. Please, anything but that.
