Those of you who know & love Sir Bunbun will no doubt keep him in your thoughts in the coming week. On December 28th it will be attempted to remove his left eye due to a tumour & bleeding within the eye.
Since he is such an old bunny at nearly 11, the anesthetic may be too much for his wee ticker; a ticker that is much loved by me & those who love us.
We wish you a happy holiday season full of as much love as is rockin' here at this house. xoxo

Ecosan (ecological sanitation) systems include various designs of environmentally friendly toilets or latrines that generally require little or no water, while isolating waste in a way that prevents odor and disease. In many cases, the resulting waste can even be composted and used as fertilizer or fuel. Some designs immediately separate the urine and feces (urine diversion systems). Some require covering the waste with sawdust, lye, sand or other material to eliminate odor, remove moisture and assist with decomposition for disposal or composting. Such systems are ideal for places where water is scarce, since they usually require no connection to a plumbing or sewer system.
One brand -- EcoSan -- was introduced in 2000. It's a stand-alone toilet; lifting the lid causes waste to make its way through a coiled conveyor over 25 or so days, all the while evaporating and venting the liquid waste and breaking down the solid waste using biological processes. Dry, odorless matter only 5 to 10 percent of its original mass is eventually deposited into a receptacle for removal and repurposing.
An ecosan toilet described by Unicef India is similar to a large outhouse with a concrete bunker underneath each toilet. The floor-level toilets have separate holes for liquids (which are diverted to pots outside) and solids, plus a cleansing water basin and a hole for users to drop a handful of lime, sawdust, ash or something similar after depositing solid waste to help with decomposition, moisture reduction and odor control.
There are other ecosan toilet construction methods and products that vary in price, functionality and complexity.

Philip Roth's new novel, I Married a Communist, tells the story of a radio actor and party member whose movie-actress-wife publishes a tell-all that destroys him. The question of the month in certain literary circles is: Will it be read high-mindedly, as a cautionary reconsideration of McCarthyism, or pruriently, as Roth's counterattack on his ex-wife, actress and memoirist Claire Bloom? The reviews haven't come out yet, but Culturebox bets on Bloom. For confirmation, see this week's fall preview in New York magazine: "Nathan Zuckerman sits silently as another of Roth's blue-eyed Jews is built up and destroyed, this time by a self-involved actress with a Jewish past, a demanding daughter, and a British accent. Sound familiar?"
Culturebox would like to suggest a third possibility: I Married a Communist is about both McCarthyism and Bloom (there's a parody of her memoir in the novel that's hilarious)–but what it's really about is Flytrap. Or, if you prefer, sexual McCarthyism: the madness that prevails when private mistakes become daily fodder for public titillation, and are then used as political weapons to club the poor sinning bastards to death. Ira Gingold, our hero, is a passionate Communist, a troubling fact addressed by Roth with all the moral seriousness one could ask for, knowing what we know today. But what proves his undoing is not his proselytizing for the party, wrong-headed though that is. It's his foolish marriage and adulterous affair, as exploited by an evil gossip columnist who goes on to become a United States senator.
There are many passages in this novel that are hard not to read as commentary on today's Topic A. Until the book hits bookstores in a week or so, you'll have to make do with this sample:
Once the human tragedy has been played out, it gets turned over to the journalists to banalize into entertainment. Perhaps it's because the whole irrational frenzy burst through our door and no newspaper's half-baked insinuating detail passed me by that I think of the McCarthy era as inaugurating the postwar triumph of gossip, as the beginning not just of serious politics but of serious everything as entertainment to amuse the mass audience: McCarthyism as the first postwar flowering of the American unthinking that is now everywhere.
Frankly, my dear… Culturebox is a little baffled by all the fuss being made about the long-lost pages of Anne Frank's diary. So it turns out that a teenage Jewish girl hated her mother and sighed over her father being cruelly deprived of true love. Why should that be front-page news?

Quick hit: LOLMets, Kelly Johnson edition/
From Buster Olney today (Insider required, sorry):
From ESPN Stats & Info: Kelly Johnson hasn't exactly been a world-beater this year, but if he were on the Mets all year, he'd probably be considered their best hitter. His batting average (.275), OPS (.772) and at-bats per home run (20.2) would hypothetically be No. 1 among Mets players with 100-plus plate appearances.
Now, I don't root against the Metsies; actually I want them to do well. Better for the NY market if both teams are strong, and a whole lot more fun. But seeing that the 2014 Yanks' castoff, Kelly Johnson, would be the Mets best offensive player made me chuckle.
Of course, we here at IIATMS would be remiss to point out that it was just about this time last year when the Yanks flipped Johnson to Boston for Stephen Drew and $500K, who we then re-signed and continue to play nearly every day. Maybe the joke's really on us?

Before Brent
came out, they did a music video tribute to Data. It was to the
theme of Mr. Roboto. It was just basically a collage of clips
of Data (without sound) from the series and the movie.
Then, immediately after that,
he came out, and he was wearing a blue denim shirt and beige pants.
That red tint in his hair is gone and it was a nice silver-gray.
I was so far away though, I couldn't even see if he was wearing
glasses or not! He posed in about 20 different ways for photo
ops, most of which were pretty goofy.
First, he said that his thoughts
were with DeForrest Kelley (who I guess is quite sick??? correct
me if anyone knows I'm wrong, I couldn't hear very well). And
he gave his usual spiel about not asking questions about Star
Trek and his personal life, but added that he would answer any
questions about DeForrest Kelley's personal life!
At first, they were only lining
up people on one side to ask questions and he said to the people
on the other side, "Those are not good seats, are they? I promise
I'll make it worth your while." Which, of course, drew some whistles
and stuff and he turned back to them and said, "Not like that!"
Someone commented on how great
he was in 1776 and asked if he was doing any theater again and
he said he's on a short list for something on Broadway! (Of course,
he couldn't say what.) And that if we don't hear he's actually
doing it by the end of the summer, that means he didn't get the
Someone asked why Data is never
promoted. He said it was never really an issue. He joked that
he could be captain, but that'd mean he'd have to talk like Patrick,
then he did an imitation of Patrick (he did a lot of these!) Later
on, someone asked about it again and he said if he were promoted
to human captain, that would be OK with him.
He said they make fun of Patrick's
accent a lot. Patrick says, "what's the source" and they say it
sounds like he's saying "worchestershire". And Patrick says, "temporally"
when he really means "temporarily". I guess there was a big argument
on the set about that one day.
He said he can't wait to see
Star Wars and that he's a big fan.
They asked him if he's made
any progress on getting Paramount to do another project with the
cast (a non-trek project) and he's made no progress.
Will he do another album? He
says he's sung on the last 5 projects (OTS, Insurrection, 1776),
and then he got into his upcoming roles:
HE SINGS IN DOROTHY DANDRIDGE! He also says that he thinks Halle
Berry is the perfect person to play her and is really spectacular
in the movie, he remembers when Dorothy Dandridge died (it was
traumatic) and his part is really huge!
His next project is a TV special for Disney based on Pinocchio
and he plays Stromboli and he sings in this too!
People approach him on the
street and ask, "hey do you remember such and such episode" and
he says he really doesn't. He says he's only sent he first 20
eps and someday he'll move to a desert island and watch the 158
he hasn't seen, and hopefully they'll have electricity there.
At the end, they asked him what else he'd bring with on that desert
island and he said a bag of pretzels (and something else which
I couldn't hear). Then they asked what Data would bring and he
said, "Tasha Yar, her sister Ishara, and Spot."
He really wants to do a sequel
to ID4. He said he talked to Dean Devlin recently, and apparently
there has been some deal made with 20th Century Fox and he asked
Dean if he's dead and Dean said, "No. The first scene in the movie
is a hammer hitting a board and we pan out and they're re-building
the White House. The second scene in the movie is Okun waking
up from a coma." And Brent made a joke about how it's probably
Okun's Evil Twin, Lore Okun!
He talked a lot about OTS and
how he's friends with Walter Matthau, but Jack Lemmon doesn't
know who he is and calls him "kid". He said there wasn't a take
in that whole movie where Walter didn't make Jack laugh. And Walter
would ask Jack in the middle of a scene, "Are you really going
to do that?" And Jack said "Yes, I was planning on it." And Walter
replies, "Cause it really sucks." He said Walter really dominates
that team. He also said Estelle Harris (George's mother on Seinfeld)
is one of the smartest, funniest people he's ever met. Martha
Coolidge is a big fan of ST and she wanted him to have the part,
but Fox said no and they had him audition and then he won the
audition. Same thing happened with Dorothy Dandridge.
PARK MOVIE!!! He says it's a very small part. They came to the
Insurrection set on the Paramount lot and asked him to do it and
he said yes.
They asked him what his dream
character would be. He said John Adams was one of them. Also,
he thinks he could play Picard, he knows he could do it and if
they just shave his head, nobody would notice anyway!
His favorite TNG movie is "First
Contact" because he thinks everyone was at the top of their game,
he got to spend his time with Jonathon and Alice Krige, whom he
really likes, and it was a good movie.
Someone said they think he's
the most brilliant actor ever, he could easily carry features,
he should get the best roles and lots of awards, etc. and Brent
replied, "Are there any producers here today? Are you listening
to this guy? Are you people fools?"
Someone asked him if he'd support
the upcoming special olympics (2nd week in June?) and might have
asked him if he'd make an appearance, but I couldn't hear the
guy very well, and Brent said absolutely and he should contact
one of the organizers of the con, or someone important like that
and get him the info.
Someone asked him if he'd ever
play any roles besides really geeky guys, and he laughed and said,
"I've cornered the market on geeky roles and I really like playing
them, because in real life I'm just such an attractive guy that
it's a nice departure from reality." And a bunch of women in the
front screamed.
At the end, some couple introduced
him to their little poodles who were in ST uniforms and whose
names were Data and Tasha. They gave him something, but I couldn't
see what it was. I think some sort of stuffed dog.

Summary of The Sixth Sense
Pages: 307
Looking for the book?
We have the summary! Get the key insights in just 10 minutes.
7 Overall
This book disserves itself by purporting to be merely about scenario planning, although it covers that subject thoroughly. In fact, it's one of the most lucid, interesting examinations of fortune and folly you will ever read. The recapitulation of disastrous episodes at a handful of once-great companies shows just how little inclined the gods are to spare the proud. Closed minds and entrenched habits of thought managed to afflict even such a venturesome New Economy firm as Yahoo! Originality and experimentation bless even companies in humdrum industries, such as packaging. Captivating anecdotes and illustrations are, in fact, the meat of the book. The scenario planning analysis, while solid, is less convincing than the cases themselves. At times, the book shows the weaknesses that are probably inevitable when so many authors share creation. It tends to meander and, now and then, loses its way in jargon-choked thickets. But, getAbstract.com assures you, the clarity of the cases redeems it and makes it valuable.
In this summary, you will learn
- How to take advantage of scenario planning and its benefits;
- What dangers arise if you ignore this powerful strategic tool; and
- Bonus insights about wisdom and folly in business.

Going digital…back to school season (the college/university edition)
Back to school is a wonderful time for most students – seeing friends, filling up social calendars, and a lot of hard work. It also means stocking up on the latest and greatest in tech to keep you academically and socially efficient.
Here's my breakdown of a couple of cool apps/tech buys that will help you get your game face on this fall. And no you won't see any suggestions on what smartphone, tablet or computer to get. We're talking apps, web services and a few tech buys to help you stay on your game.
Academic efficiency
Let's break my thoughts on being academically successful into its basic parts: preparation, organization, and working smarter (not harder). Bearing that in mind, here are some cool back to school finds that can help with that:
- Evernote– Evernote is a free cloud-based note app that let's you store notes online – whether they're text, photos or voice recordings. Organized by notebooks and search tags, Evernote easily lets you search for whatever you've stored whether it's ideas for an essay, pictures of roommate wanted listings, or reminders on what groceries to buy while you're out! This bad boy is available both on the web and as an app for many different types of smartphones.
Need more space? There's an upgrade that will not only give you 1 GB of clipping space but also enable offline notes for your iPhone/Android device and allow others to access and edit your notebooks.
- If you're an old school writer, check out this great post from Geeksugar.com that talks about how Evernote and Moleskine are creating a partnership so you can easily add and organize your traditional notes within Evernote. Lusting over this bad boy…hard.
- Dropbox – Available on the web, on your computer and on your phone, Dropbox lets you take your files on the go so you're no longer worried about carrying around those pesky USB sticks that are so easy to lose. This free service let's you store your files securely in the cloud so you can access them anywhere.Because you can choose who has access to what files, this service is great to use for group projects where a number of people need to access the same file or just to share files like photos with family and friends.
The free account starts at 2 GB and goes up to 18 GB or you can upgrade your account to get anywhere from 100 GB – 1 TB of space.
- Whichdateworks.com – This free online tool helps when you're trying to plan around various schedules. You just name your plan, select a date range, add your friends, they choose which dates are available/maybe available/not available and whichdateworks.com chooses the best date based on availability. When all is said and done you can then email everyone with the final plan details. No more "Reply All" emails you need to sift through and keep track of (at least not for dates) – this really simplifies group meetings, social gatherings and anything else you can think of!
- Daily Routine – This little iOS app is great for helping you set up routines and sticking to them so it's great for those moving away to school for the first time. Daily Routine allows you to setup multiple routines, print your routines, sync your routine with Dropbox (if you're more digitally comfortable) and add your routines to your calendar.
I'll be adding this app to my iPhone shortly to test it out so I will add a full review soon.
- Livescribe Echo Pen – Ranging from 2 GB to 8 GB of storage, this bad boy records everything you hear, say and write. Not sure what the professor said while you were jotting that note down? Tap on your notes and it'll replay the audio. Since Livescribe works with your computer, you can search, save and share your notes easily. Where was this when I was in university I ask you?!
And the great news? The 2GB pen starts at $129.99 at FutureShop!
Honourable mentions:
- The Griffin binder insert case. I know that a lot of students are using their eReaders, tablets or iPads to store text books which eliminates the need to carry these heavy items in backpacks. For those that are doing so, you can find some great school solutions that allows you to safely bring your tablet with you. The one I saw today is from Griffin – it's a binder that also has a handy insert for your iPad (2nd or 3rd generation). Now you'll be able to keep all your books with you while you take notes and the best part is the case has openings for all your jacks so you can use your headphones or charge your iPad while on the go.
Just $24.99 on the Griffin online store.
- Flashcards+ – This iOS app is great for studying as it was designed in association with the Harvard University faculty and students. The app allows you to create your own flashcards to help you study. Study hard, peeps. Study hard!
- Student T.A. – Student T.A. is an iOS app that lets your organize both your personal and academic life. It allows you to keep track of your classes, assignments and projects so that you'll never fall behind again.
Social efficiency
Please tell me I'm not the only one who sometimes needs to plan their social schedule. When I was in school it was often hard to balance school deliverables/projects, work schedules, volunteer positions and the *ahem* occasional recreational social activity so I used to plan my social schedule to ensure nothing would drop. As always, my recos:
- Skype – I've been using Skype since it was voice chat only. Since it's added video chat it's a great way to stay in touch with friends and family members who aren't in the same city/country/continent as you. A free video chat service, Skype is available on your computer (Apple and Windows) and as an app (Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone) so you can take your conversations with you. Did I also mention it has an IM feature so if you're not ready to share your face with the world, you can still chat. 🙂
- Dropbox – Although I've demonstrated the academic use case above, Dropbox is also an effective place to share other files like photos, videos and music with friends and family members. Boom!
- Evernote – Again academic use case aside, I've talked many times in previous blog posts about the wonders of Evernote. I use it to store ideas like birthday/Christmas present ideas, blog ideas, and photo reminders.
- Whichdateworks.com – Now remembering how Whichdateworks.com works in the academic scenario I'm sure you've already figured out how it can work socially. Planning a trip and don't want to have fifty "Reply All's" from people filling in your inbox about which date people prefer? Whichdateworks.com can help you cut down on those nasty emails (at least about dates anyway).
Although I could go on, I'm trying to limit myself to the apps that I feel could make the most impact. Got a great idea you think should be on this list? Feel free to add it in the comments – I love hearing about ideas that make life easier!

There is an advert for ladies' lingerie on my blog page. Why? It is absolutely outrageous! I ain't been looking at ladies' underwear. I thought these ads were generated by the things we show an interest in? I have NOT, I repeat NOT been perusing ladies' lingerie on the internet. This particular advert shows a pretty and curvaceous young woman wearing a rather fetching bra and panties matching set in pale blue with exciting lacy edging. Not that I'm interested. Of course when I say exciting I am not referring to my own reaction to it, but I suppose some people might find it exciting. The material is satin as far as I can make out.
Sadly, I cannot remember the last time I saw a pair of knickers. Not on this computer or in real life. Except I have seen knickers on a washing line but when this occurs I quickly avert my eyes lest anyone sees me accidentally looking interested and thinks I am a knicker fetishist.
The reason I mention this lingerie advert is, if it comes up on your computer when you read my blog I want you to know I don't look at ladies' underwear pages on the internet okay? Not that there is anything wrong with doing that. I mean, you know. Whatever floats your boat and all that. Very exciting to look at some of those ladies, especially in my opinion the fuller figured ones. Not that I do look. Live and let live that's my philosophy.
But anyway, that advert, it's nothing to do with me. Let's leave it there okay? The subject I mean, not the advert.

Merry Christmas and all that jazz :) I had such a lovely day . . . although, with no blood family relatives, it was very different from Christmas' past. It was the first time my and my boyfriend, Courtney's, families have been together for a holiday event, with his dad just managing to miss the snow issue in London. We also had my parents best friends and thier four lil ladies & granny, and two of my dads' friends . . . making us 19 for Christmas Lunch . . . woah.
I had a great day, present wise :D
From my parents, and Father Christmas, I got a Nikon CoolPix L21 Camera. A 8 mega pixel pink point-and-shoot (which all of the pictures in this post are taken with)
and a Empisal Dressmaker 270D Sewing Machine (for home so that I don't have to transport my Bernina every time I have to sew something)
My sister bought me a beautiful summer-coloured, bright floral maxi dress,
And from my darling Courtney, I got the most magnificient wooden style wedge sandals :D
petes' christmas shirt
Daniel, my Courtney and his mom
So after a lovely day of food, champagne and wine, we were all full, happy and tired. Cassie had had enough of the noise, so she took her present and went to sleep on the kitchen floor. Right where we were cleaning . . . Silly puppy.
What I'm wearing
Laced floral-printed chiffon dress - Foschini, pre-Christmas present from my mom
brown lattice pumps - Mr Price
Just a thank you to all who made the day so fantastic. What did you do on Christmas day?
{peace and love}

In light of the latest immigration row between Jamaica and Trinidad, where 12 of our citizens were denied entry, the PSOJ has decided to hijack this situation and has called for a boycott on Trinidadian goods. Though we have been having this problem with Trinidad for a while now, I find the call for boycotts from the PSOJ either hypocritical at best or manipulative and opportunistic at worst.

Already, ZikV has left a disastrous impact on our Latin American neighbour Brazil, resulting in widespread panic and fear in Brazil and the Western Hemisphere.

A Gummy Lawsuit
A man has bad teeth. He chews Trident Xtra Care gum, which promises that it "Strengthens and Rebuilds Teeth" by "fill[ing] in the tiny crevices where cavities can form and leav[ing] teeth more resistant to plaque acids." His teeth remain rotten. It's America. So he sues for deceptive business practices, and seeks to represent a class of gum purchasers. You name the defenses.

Twitching Hour
Birds, Biscuits and Beverages. I like 'em all, though not necessarily in that order. And, let's face it, who doesn't?
Greenwich is hardly the Serengeti when it comes to rare birds. I'm the first to admit it. But even if the best we can do is a few sparrows and the odd cormorant,* our wildlife is still wild – and we need to do what we can to look after it. So far it's all been a bit piecemeal – people have done their own private bit of birding – a little bit of recording or taking the odd snap (which some have been kind enough to send to me…)
But on Sunday, between 1.00 and 3.00pm, over at the Ecology Centre on the Peninsula, a grand pooling of knowledge will be taking place. Everyone is welcome to bowl up and talk about the birding they're doing or planning to do, the varieties they've seen and to exchange good places to see the best Greenwich birds. Oh – and you get tea and biscuits, so no need to bring a Thermos.
Call 07982 729 015 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more details, or just turn up.
I've been looking for an excuse to use the picture above, of one of our rarer birds, for a month or so now. Will someone reassure me that it doesn't look ever so slightly rude?
*plus a parrot or two…

|'With sympathy' by Neil Burley
When faced with a photo inspiration challenge, you have so many choices - do you go with the colours? The featured elements, such as the poppies? How it makes you feel? What it reminds you of? Tying all that in with the images supplied by our sponsors this month, Ooh La La Creations, I was reminded of all the commemorations of the First World War that are ongoing at the moment, and decided to make a 'with sympathy' card.
I've embellished the Toppers 2 triptych with black ribbon bows, black mosaic tiles (Mark Richards Crystal Stickers), and matted onto black card. The lettering is machine cut on my Silhouette Cameo - Remember is in the font Agency and the with sympathy in Zapfino, with a white card background made by adding an outside offset of 0.1cm to the text.

We have featured a lot of American Girl sized doll houses that have been made from everyday furniture plus a little creativity. I have another one of those creative upcycles for you today from one of our readers, Cris.
From Cris:
I have been an avid reader of Doll Diaries for the past year as my two little girls have become big American Girl doll fans. For Christmas, we surprised them with an American Girl dollhouse that we made from an entertainment center that I picked up at Goodwill. We were able to do the whole project (painting and completely furnishing the whole dollhouse) for around $150 using Goodwill finds and repurposing many items. I thought your readers might enjoy seeing the before and after.
We started with an oak entertainment center that I found at the local Goodwill for $23.
The bottom level has a kitchen and a living room/dining room. All the floors in each room are covered in contact paper that resembles real flooring. The kitchen is the Our Generation set from Target on sale for $50 was the most expensive item in the house. The trashcan is from the Dollar Tree and was found with the office supplies. The mini-shelf in the kitchen came from the thrift store, and I painted it pink.
I made the living room couch from a wooden shelf I found at Goodwill, some batting, and a pillowcase. Altogether, I spent around $4 for the supplies. The rug is a microfiber cloth from the Dollar Tree. The fireplace is another thrift store find ($4). It was a hanging photo holder. All I did was remove the glass and hanging picture holders and paint it white. The lamp is an air freshener from the Dollar Tree. The flatscreen TV is a frame I found at Goodwill for $0.50. I added the picture from the American Girl catalog and buttons for the controls. The table is another thrift store find. It is a wooden stool that we down a few inches to make it the right height, painted it white, and decoupaged flowers on the top. The chair is another $1 thrift store find that we spray painted white.
The second level holds the bathroom and McKenna's bedroom. The bathtub, sink and toilet, and the storage rack were all thrift store finds. All told, I only paid $3 for all 3 items!
I let my friends know that I was making the dollhouse, and they kept their eyes out for me. One of them found the toilet and sink combo and bought it for me. The wall art is scrapbooking stickers and a small plaque I found at Goodwill ($4 total). The towels are a microfiber cloth from the Dollar Tree ($1). I just cut it in half to make two perfect, doll-sized towels.
McKenna's bed is the Ikea Duktig bed for $20. I kept the bedding as is and decorated around it. The wall art is a sticker set for scrapbooks ($3). Her locker is another thrift store find for $1. It had Disney fairies on it, but we spray painted it white and added her name in sticker letters. The basket is from the Target dollar spot.
Upstairs we have another bedroom. The bunk beds were my best bargain. I found them for $22 on Amazon, but I had $20 in rewards points so I only paid $2! The bedding is from two window shams I found at Goodwill for $6. I don't sew so I just cut them down and used no-sew fabric adhesive to put it together.
The decorative pillows are actually kitchen sponges that I paid $2 for. All told, I only paid $10 for the beds and bedding!
The dresser is a jewelry box I found at the thrift store for $5. It was already the perfect color. The rug is a placemat that I found for $0.10 at a local discount store.
The Christmas tree I already owned and decorated with ribbon. The chair in the bedroom was actually a candle holder that looked like a chair. We removed the glass votive holders and gave it a new seat from wood we had on hand.
Finally, there was a CD/DVD storage on the side of the entertainment center. We removed the hardware, and adding some rods and shelving to make a closet for their doll cloths.
We painted the rooms using leftover paint that we already had on hand. We also spent about $15 on some needed hardware and a back for the entertainment center.
My husband and I aren't especially handy or crafty so I wanted to show that you can make a great dollhouse without being especially skilled. We started planning this dollhouse back in September so we have had a few months to look for needed items. We also had friends looking for items for us. I went to the local thrift store a once or twice a week to look around.
Thanks so much Cris for sending these in! Your doll house turned out amazing and your girls' dolls will have so much fun for years to come!

The Parmly Billings Library has unveiled an interactive "word wall" for kids that was purchased with a donation from a late children's librarian.
A projector shoots a background image of the Rimrocks onto a wall in the children's area of the library. In the foreground, phrases and objects fall from the screen, and kids — or anyone else — can stand in front of the screen and catch the phrases as they fall. Using their shadows, the kids can balance objects on their hands, swat them off the screen or bounce them like a ball.
Similar interactive walls and projectors are used in museums, art galleries, airports and even at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Library Director Bill Cochran said the Billings library may be the first library to install such a wall.
The system was developed by Snibbe Interactive, a San Francisco-based company that creates "social immersive media." Cochran said the wall is another way to keep the library relevant for patrons who are more used to video games and computers.
"It's truly cutting-edge," Cochran told a small crowd Thursday that included about a dozen eager kids sitting on a soft rug in the story time area of the library. "We think we picked a very nice combination of past, present and future."
But like so many computer projects that crash just when you want to show them off, the wall didn't work at first during its premier demonstration. Frustrated librarians scrambled to reboot a computer in another room, and about 30 minutes later, the wall was working smoothly.
The wall will remain on during library hours, and kids are encouraged to play with the falling phrases and the blue birds that drop them from the sky.
The project, which cost about $25,000, was paid for with a gift from the estate of Edith Gronhovd, a former children's librarian who worked at the library from 1967 to 1976. Gronhovd, who passed away in 2007 at 93, was well-known in the community and received the Jeanette Rankin Peace Award and an honorary doctorate from Rocky Mountain College, among other honors.
Cindy Patterson, the current childrens librarian, said Gronhovd told colleagues that she had the best job in the world when she worked with kids.
"She has told us that from the gift she has given us," Patterson said. "She has truly given us a 21st century gift."
Gronhovd's daughter, Louise Spaulding, attended the unveiling Thursday and said her mother would have been proud of the wall.
"I think she'd be excited — anything to encourage the children to come to the library," Spaulding said.

Aloe and Goat Milk Soap
I'm kind of switching directions that I'm heading in for the new soaps that I will be making. I'm going to be using my green silicone molds again. I determined that I prefer the size of soap from these molds. I do still prefer working with my wood mold so it may pop up from time to time. I'm also going to be soaping predominately essential oils. I have used up most of my fragrances and I am going to try not to be sucked in by all the beautiful sounding fragrances at my favorite suppliers. I'm sure I'll cave every now and again. I do have some favorites ya know. :D I don't know why, but I've been wanting to go back and recreate some of my original soaps. To me they had so much character and meaning to me. So I'll be doing several remakes but will be tweaking them as my recipe has improved greatly!
Today I started with aloe and goat milk soap. I used canned goat milk which is one of my favorite milks to use. It is very concentrated and I only use it at about 25% of my liquid amount. It has a nice sugar content that adds great bubbles to my soap. I made two loaves, one unscented and the other I scented with a chamomile and lavender essential oil blend. I have tried several from different suppliers and I keep coming back to this one in particular. I have decided that it is my most favorite scent for soap. EVER. I did cave and added some color (green and purple) to it and some glitter but I wish I'd left it plain. Next time!

Thank you Tanya and Jen!
Jen- I use a blend from Wholesale Supplies Plus. It's the only way that I can afford chamomile. :) I don't know what it is about their blend, but I really love it. They have two and I've tried both but I only like one of them. I just keep coming back to this one and it's the scent I 'crave'. I make it over and over.

Thank you so much!
Donna - silicone molds are so easy to work with because the soap doesn't stick to them. I don't have to line them either. I've used mineral oil at times to help them to release even easier.

(AP) - A key report released Monday calls on the California State University system to give faculty the pay raises they've requested as the two sides prepare for a five-day strike next month if they can't reach an agreement.
Jennifer Eagen, president of the California Faculty Association, says the independent report confirms the position that faculty members are underpaid.
The administration, however, says it doesn't have the money to divert to more pay at a time when it has committed spending to other priorities.
Union members currently are in the second-year of a three-year contract.
The faculty association is seeking a 5 percent salary increase for 2015-16. The university is offering raises of 2 percent.
The system's 23 campuses enroll about 460,000 students, making it the nation's largest public university system.

We'll work with you to customize Toast for your restaurant.
We'll help build a combination of hardware and software that optimizes throughput and makes the line move faster, whether you're a 1-location coffee shop with a tablet POS or a 100-location fast casual restaurant with restaurant kiosks.
New hires need to be able to take orders right away. So we made the ordering and payment process intuitive, fast, and easy to navigate, so training new cashiers is a breeze.
You can spend time away from your restaurant and still have a window into your sales with real-time reporting of all your locations.
Shave 10 seconds or more off your payment process. Customize your quick service POS buttons, flip the tablet to face customers, and take more orders using a mobile handheld tablet in the line.
With advanced labor reports, you can identify your all-stars and your slackers, adjust time entries, and easily export payroll in one click.
When guests are prompted to tip, they tip three times more. And you know the drill: more tips = less turnover = more money saved.
You have the flexibility you need to pull the discounting lever with BOGO discounts, item-specific discounts, and date- and time-based discounts.
Understand how your quick-service restaurant sales are trending over time, including the days and times that you bring in the most customers and revenue.
Analyze which menu items are bringing you the most sales and which ones you might want to reconsider.
With Toast CRM, get a holistic view of all customer data, collected from digital receipts and loyalty programs, and know exactly how much each customer spends.
With loyalty prompts integrated into the payment process, your signup rate will increase by 10x. Toast will recognize the credit card on swipe, so loyalty accumulation and redemption is easy.
Easily sell gift cards on the tablet, track gift card sales, and accept digital or physical gift cards as payment. Guests can even text gift cards and leave a personalized message!
Save countless of dollars on commission fees by using Toast's white-label online ordering, which integrates directly with your customer data and your kitchen operations.
There's no point in running a restaurant if you can't take cards. Toast works even if the internet drops, so you never have to interrupt service.
We work around the clock to make sure your restaurant is running smoothly. That means 24/7/365 support… Or 366 on leap years.
When you partner with Toast, you partner with a knowledgeable, committed, and forward-thinking team, always brainstorming ways to help your restaurant grow.
Our POS systems are built on Android, meaning hardware is more durable and more reliable… and more cost-effective.
These tablets fire orders to the kitchen instantly and are perfect for line busting at your popular quick service restaurant.
These cash drawers keep your money totally secure. With cash management, you can also offer "blind closeout" capabilities.
Reduce your wait times by setting up restaurant kiosks from which customers can order exactly what they want, when they want.

July's Burger of the Month at Bobby's Burger Palace
June 26, 2017 | Posted by Bobby Flay
This month at Bobby's Burger Palace, we are celebrating flavors of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Our Burger of the Month for July is named after Wyoming's beautiful capital city, and is piled high with ingredients that transport me there as soon as I take a bite. I once went to a rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and one of the things that I took away from the experience was the idea for this burger; it just seems like the perfect rodeo fare. So what's inside?
On July's Burger of the Month, you'll get a taste of the Wild West:
-Crisp bacon
-Crunchy shoestring onion rings
-Layers of smoked cheddar cheese
-My signature barbecue sauce
My BBP team and I really think you'll love it, and July will be your only opportunity to give it a taste for all of 2017! Head over to your local Bobby's Burger Palace and let me know what you think of Cheyenne. I'll see you there!

Lego and Ferrari, The Best of Both Worlds
The cars from the legendary Italian scuderia from Maranello have always inspired passion all over the world. Almost the same thing can be said about Lego, the small plastic bricks that were first introduced more than fifty years ago in Denmark, and have conquered the world ever since. So why not combine both of them? That's what the Lego Ferrari collection is all about. I admit that these are not gadgets at all, but how can you resist to Ferraris made from Lego bricks?
The Lego Ferrari collection brings to the Lego world such classics as the Enzo Ferrari, the Ferrari F430 Spider, the F1 Racer, and even the Ferrari Fuel Stop, the Scuderia Ferrari Truck and the Ferrari Finish Line, where you can see Michael Schumacher taking home another trophy. Even though you won't be able to race in those cars, they're will bring hours of fun to your home, that's for sure. They were created for 8 year old boys, but if you don't have any kids to use as an excuse, I'm sure you would love to have one of those for yourself. And if you do have children, especially boys, they'll be ecstatic about the Lego Ferraris and your house will turn into a F1 race track in no time at all.

Nick, I got to see the Enzo edition of the Lego Ferrari group. There is a neat development they have which is a pull spring damped through an air piston, so that when you push the release lever the door opens slowly (there's a lever and spring/piston assembly per side). Its a great effect. Plus these things look great in person, (the tires in particular are even F1 style grooved)

Fred, thanks a lot for the feedback. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those to check out all those details.

These are great, the F430 Spider which is pictured has 559 pieces! and the Technics F1 car has over 1200. Great collection to have on display, not to mention when branded lego kits go out of production there value can usually double. go check out the Star Wars stuff to, with kits over 3000 pieces!.

A component of a blood test that is done at Women's Wellness Place is called a hematocrit and hemoglobin. The results of this test show if you have ANEMIA. The most common type of anemia is IRON-DEFICIENCY ANEMIA.
Most of our body's iron is contained in our blood. Iron-deficiency occurs whenever sufficient iron is lost from the body. This can happen easily in women due to monthly blood loss during the menstrual period and is the most common cause of iron-deficiency anemia in women.
Iron is needed to form hemoglobin which carries oxygen from the lungs to the body cells.
Common symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia are tiredness and fatigue.
You can replace this iron with iron rich foods and/or iron pills. We will talk with you individually about the best way to handle your anemia.
Listed below are foods that are rich in iron:
*almonds *kidney beans pork
*barley lamb potatoes
*beef *lentils prunes
beet greens lettuce *prune juice
black beans *lima beans *raisins
broccoli liver sesame seeds
brussel sprouts molasses *soybeans
chicken *mung beans spinach
*chick peas *oats *sunflower seeds
clams peanuts turkey
*dried dates pinto beans walnuts
endive plums watermelon
* Those foods which contain an especially high iron content.

Countdown to Texas VegFest!Posted: March 31, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: activism, Austin, Texas vegan, Texas VegFest, veg-curious, vegan Leave a comment
We're really excited to go to Texas VegFest this year! This vegan extravaganza takes place on Saturday, April 6 at Fiesta Gardens in east Austin. Texas VegFest Director, Adrienne Lusk, says the event will draw in around 5,000 attendees for a host of activities, vendors, speakers, cooking demos, and of course, great food and live music. What's a vegan not to love?
One important thing to note about this event is that it's been a grassroots, volunteer-driven effort by very dedicated activists. The Austin vegan community has helped improve and support vegan dining options around town, which has made Austin one of the top veg-friendly cities in the country. We applaud them for their many hours of hard work to organize Texas VegFest for the second year in a row!
While I expect to see lots of my vegan friends there, this welcoming event will attract veg-curious and omnivore folks as well. It's a perfect event for anyone considering going vegan or reducing their consumption of meat and/or dairy because of the impressive list of local businesses that will be there selling their vegan fare. I know the major question people have when they go vegan is, what the heck will I eat? Texas VegFest will give you lots of yummy options and food for thought to help people think through their dietary choices. I suggest inviting a friend of yours who is not vegan to this event — it could really have an impact!

Four students in the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Marine Option Program (MOP) captured top honors at the 27th Annual Marine Option Program Student Symposium, held Saturday, April 17, 2010 on the UH Hilo campus. This year's event was attended by students and faculty from host UH Hilo and UH Manoa, along with Leeward, Windward, Honolulu, Maui and Kauai Community Colleges.
Stacey Breining won the Best Poster Award for her presentation "Impacts of Oreochromis Mossambicus on Nutrient Dynamics in an Anchialine Pond System at Ho`onau," where she reported that the invasive fish have a significant affect upon the ponds' water quality.
The John P. Craven Award for the Most Inspired and Inspirational Presentation by a MOP Child of the Sea went to Toni Makani Gregg for her work on "Physical and Environmental Effects on the Photochemical Efficiency of Montipora Capitata Corals Measured by PAM-Flourometry."
Javez Mooteb captured the PACON Award (Pacific Congress on Marine Science and Technology) for Best Presentation Bridging Marine Science and Technology with a Pacific Focus. His study, "Using GIS for Water Quality Monitoring During Tidal Phases of Hilo Bay, Hawaiʻi," will provide modelers with a simpler and more effective method for collection of water parameters over a large area.
The Anna Toy Ng Memorial Scholarship, established to recognize exemplary MOP students for their marine scholarship, ocean stewardship, and participation in the Marine Option Program, went to UH Hilo MOP Program Student Coordinator Tiffany Love-Chezum. She also presented her research project on "Effects of Two Diets, Shrimp and Squid, on Growth Rates in the Day Octupus (Octupus Cyanea)."

Imagine living a pain-free and blissful life!
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
What if you had a magic wand that could erase all your aches and pains?
What would your life look like if you were not limited by your pain?
Would you spend more time playing with your kids or grandkids?
Take long walks with your loved ones?
Plan a road trip? Or travel around the world?
Start gardening again?
Play golf with your friends?
Dance the night away with your friends?
There will be nothing holding you back. You will only be limited by your imagination!
Don't think that's possible?
Think again. I have seen numerous transformations over the years!
When Mary came for her first visit, she had to use a back brace so she could sit in a chair as we were going through her medical history. She had difficulty walking and was using a wheelchair for longer distances. After 6 months of therapy, she could go for a 7 mile hike with her husband! She was so happy!
Becky had suffered from pelvic pain and severe PMS for several years! It was affecting her productivity at work. She was so frustrated. She had tried everything from massage, pain pills to chiropractic care. But nothing worked. After few visits of pelvic floor rehabilitation, her pain was gone! She was excited to get back to her normal life.
2 years ago, Julie had bladder prolapse, urinary incontinence and pelvic pain. Her doctor advised her to undergo surgery. Within 12 weeks, she started feeling better and 90% of her symptoms were gone! She didn't need that surgery after all! She was so thrilled to see the improvement.
How did these patients get these results? Why did massage or other therapies not work for them?
Don't get me wrong. Massage therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture etc. are great modalities and have changed people's lives! But for some of you, it is not enough. You need something more than these therapies can offer.
If these therapies are failing to get the desired results, you may have what we call "myofascial restrictions".
It is a fancy term for tightness in your connective tissues.
Our fascia (or connective tissue) is continuous from head to toe and covers all the bones, muscles and organs. It is like a silk scarf that moves freely when we move. But any injury, surgery or even poor posture, causes this fascia to develop areas of restrictions so it can't move freely anymore. This can lead to muscle tension, chronic pain or extreme fatigue.
Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique that addresses this problem. It helps to release the adhesions in fascial issues thereby reducing the muscle tension and increasing the range of motion of your joints.
It has helped thousands of women around the world become pain-free and active again. It can help you too!
It's easy to get started!

What is Myofascial Release or MFR?
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Who will benefit from MFR?
MFR is highly effective in relieving chronic pain and women's health issues. Conditions treated:
Women's Health Issues:
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Menstrual Problems Pelvic Pain
Mastectomy Pain Urinary Frequency Problematic Breast Implant/Reduction Scars c-section scars Abdominal Pain
Coccydynia Endometriosis Urinary Incontinence
Lymphedema Urinary Urgency Episiotomy Scars
Pelvic Floor Pain Interstitial Cystitis
Other conditions treated:
Back Pain Neck Pain Headaches Migraines Whiplash Fibromyalgia Sciatica Sports Injuries
Disc Problems Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Adhesions Carpal Tunnel Jaw Pain (TMJ) Painful Scars Scoliosis
Myofascial Pain Knee Pain Hip Pain Frozen Shoulder
Benefits of Myofascial Release:
Helps to relieve chronic pelvic or abdominal or low back pain or neck pain
Releases tension in the muscles of pelvic floor
Improves the mobility of c-section scar thus helps with back pain
Helps to reduce stress and induces deep relaxation!
Helps to improve the range of motion of a stiff and painful joints.
Enhances body's healing mechanism so you can start feeling energetic and vibrant!
How many sessions do I need?
Response to MFR varies from individual to individual and condition to condition. Your response is uniquely your own and can't be compared to anyone else's - even those cases that may appear to be similar to your own. The number of sessions needed varies widely - from just one up to three or more a week over the course of several weeks.
How does Myofascial Release Work?
Fascia (connective tissue in our bodies) plays an important role in the support and function of our bodies, since it surrounds and attaches to all structures. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction.
When one experiences physical trauma, emotional trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted, and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Trauma, such as a fall, car accident, whiplash, surgery or just habitual poor posture and repetitive stress injuries has cumulative effects on the body.
The changes trauma causes in the fascial system influences comfort and function of our body. Fascial restrictions can exert excessive pressure causing all kinds of symptoms producing pain, headaches or restriction of motion. Fascial restrictions affect our flexibility and stability, and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and perform daily activities.
The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our one-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which our therapist uses a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness.

text: Sailaab written and directed by Ravi Rai, is essentially love story between Shivani (Renuka Shahane) and Rohit (Sachin Khedekar). Rohit, is an aspiring novelist and writer who soon dicovers how cruel this city of dreams can be. Hailing from Calcutta, he switches tracks and starts writing for films once he falls in love with Shivani. Shivani s elder brother Vijay (Raju Kher) sings his praises and appreciates his intellect till he finds out that he is in love with his sister! Vijay, like all brothers, is keen to see Shivani settled with a person who is financially sound and the idealisitic writer in pursuit of an elusive dream doesn't inspire much confidence! Shivani gets married to a doctor Avinash (Ajikya Deo/Mahesh Thakur) who is extremely wealthy too. Rohit tie the knot in court with Gayatri on the rebound almost. But to Gayatri s credit, she stood by Rohit when he was in a most vulnerable phase having just lost his father and still in a fluid stage as far as his career is concerned. Past and present intermingle freely to say nothing of frequently as Shivani, Rohit and Gayatri mull over their past and contemplate their future with an intensity that makes their old friends like Vicky (Bhushan Jeevan), Nilu (Neelofer) and Girish (Makrand Deshpande) nervous and fear a momentous storm brewing! Do their fears prove to be true or do Shivani and Rohit live happily ever after with their respective spouses? Episode 1 Rohit Kumar (Sachin Khedekar) meets Shivani (Renuka Shahane) in a department store after a gap of five years andthough flooded by memories, he makes polite enquiries about her and her husband Avinash (Ajinkya Deo), a doctor working in a Government hospital doing research on asthma in children.Rohit is surprised to learn that Shivani has taken up a job. As Rohit and Shivani were in a relationship for five years and loved each other deeply, there is a lengthy flashback from Rohit s point of view while he drives home. Shivani s elder brother Vijay (Raju Kher) loses no opportunity to run down the idealistic and unemlpoyed Rohit, and compare him with Avinash who is extremely wealthy and can provide emotional as well as financial security to Shivani. Torn between her brother and lover, Shivani reveals her dilemma to Rohit who asks her if she has the guts to defy Raju and elope! She then confides in her friend Gayatri (Prajakti Deshmukh) who asks her to follow her heart rather than her head and marry Rohit! However, she changes her tune quickly and advises her to marry Avinash and make Raju happy. A confused Shivani asks her brother if she can marry Rohit but he puts his foot down and serves her an ultimatum-marry Avinash or else Shivani thinks it prudent to follow Raju s diktat and marries Avinash. After five years of marriage, she finds no reason to regret her choice. There is a punch to conclude the opening episode-Rohit, now a successful man, is married to none other than Gayatri!
