I am not a grandma, but I think my advice to you is to be there a 100% when you are around your grandchild.ReplyDelete
I have 3 Grandsons now. Just love them, enjoy them and never offer advice to their parents if you want to keep coming around. So far that's worked for me.ReplyDelete
I am not a grandma but my sister has 7 grandchildren. This is what I know: receiving blankets and burp cloths are always welcome. That and lots of babysitting.ReplyDelete
I have two grandkids. Being a grandmother is more fun than being a parent. All the play and less of the worry.ReplyDelete
I am daycare Grandma for the 2 year old and I love seeing her in the morning, and to be honest, I love seeing her go home in the evening.
I'm not a grandma yet but my advice would be to have fun together!!ReplyDelete
I am not a grandma yet but I enjoyed that my Mam had time with our kiddos. They even made holiday trips (and day trips) with them and the kids still talk about these memories.ReplyDelete
I'm not a grandma, still hoping, but my advice would be deep breaths and lots of laughter, that should get you through anything.ReplyDelete
I'm a grammy twice over. My best advice is to wait until advice is asked for before giving it. And enjoy every moment!ReplyDelete
I'm a long ways from being a grandma--but as a mother my advice is to be supportive, but don't tell your kids what to do unless they ask!ReplyDelete
Grandma, you're allowed to permit your grandchildren to do things you would never have allowed your children to do; you're allowed to spoil them rotten! Actually I find that very difficult myself; I guess old habits die hard! But I say "No!" to them much less than I did to their parents!ReplyDelete
Being a grandma is a great blessing! Just enjoy.ReplyDelete
No experience here...yet! I would say keep your mouth shut (unless asked) and give great presents!ReplyDelete

I love being a grandma! Just be yourself and give lots of hugs and kisses. Thanks for a chance to win.ReplyDelete
I save up all the stickers that come in the mail with mailing labels from charities, etc., as well as the free notepads and other office-y things and send them to my granddaughter. She's loved to "play office" since she was about 3. Being a long-distance grandma isn't as much fun, but Skype and Facetime help a lot.ReplyDelete
Oh, I love being a Grandma. I'm in NC and they are in AZ, but that doesn't stop me from loving them. We Skype, I fly out to get them and bring them back to NC, then take them home again. Just love them, and let them feel the love and the joy they bring to your life. There is nothing better.ReplyDelete
I have four grandsons and one granddaughter. I have two more grandsons on the way. One in August and one in September. I was hoping for another granddaughter but I am happy with the boys too. I love to cuddle with them and try to take special interest in whatever it is that they are interested in. It gives you special time and they love that you like what they like. They each have a very special place in my heart. Making them quilts are fun too.Thanks for the chance to win. LisaReplyDelete
this week has been fun for grandmothers and non-grandmothers alikeReplyDelete
Enjoy your grandchildren as much as you can. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Not a grandma, but would just say to enjoy them while they are little. As you know children grow up way too fast.ReplyDelete
I am a grandma of 9 and great grandmother to 4. I tend to spoil them rotten then send them home to their parents. Not really. I play with all the great grand children and we have art and sewing classes even though they are small. We have a lot of fun together.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on being chosen for the magazine and for becoming a grandma soon! I think it's important for a grandma to be loving and warm. firstname.lastname@example.com

I have 5 beautiful grandchildren and the best advice I can give is never miss a chance to give them a big hug and tell them how much you love them.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on becoming a Grandma!! I will also be a first time grandma this Nov and I am so excited!! I am already making some fun projects for baby!!ReplyDelete
Love them like crazy... mine are 19,15,and 13.. They call and text me weekly, we are best buds I found something in common with each.. best kids in the world..ReplyDelete

Never take love for granted be it kids or grandkids. Thanks for for the chance to win.ReplyDelete

Congrats on impending grandma hood. I became one this time last year. I just make sure she see my face at least once a week, thanks to skype and facetime, she lives in RI and I live in Ga. I visit when i canReplyDelete
Congratulations!! So fun that they will have a cousin close to their age. Just relax and have fun. My granddaughters are 2 and 4, and we sing and dance and play. It's a good excuse to act like a kid again. They've also had plenty of hands-on with fabric. I think I have them hooked!ReplyDelete
Kisses and hugs!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your impending grandma-hood. My grandmas were kind, loving but firm. They've been gone for a long time now, but your question brought up wonderful memories. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Be involved and spend quality time with grandchild. Make memories that will last. Love your block! Congratulations on having your block in the magazine! firstname.lastname@example.com
Being a Gramma is one of the most exciting times of my life. Love my two grands and always have them around, spent their younger years doing all kinds of activities with them. Enjoy every day and every minute .ReplyDelete

Congratulations! I am not a grandma, but I would advise you to be supportive of the parents and enjoy every second of your time together!ReplyDelete
Give lots of love, gently give advise (very gently lol) hold them while you can and let them be kids!ReplyDelete
Grandma is for fun! Enjoy the kids, be one yourself.ReplyDelete
I love being a grandma. Love, support them and spoil them a bit.ReplyDelete
Make fun memories.ReplyDelete
First of all congrats on your block in the magazine & your two exciting family additions coming! I am not a grandma, but think you should aim for being supportive (both to the new babies & new parents!) and loving, as well as spoiling them a bit, especially with some handmade gifts that only grandma could make!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I love my sweet little man to the moon and back. He will be 3 in July and my daughter invited me to be present at his birth which was very special. Don't be afraid to act silly, play and just enjoy every minute. Thanks for the opportunity to win. I just started to follow your blog via 2bquilting247 at hotmail.ca.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I can only give advice from a grandchild perspective as I will never be a grandma. :-( Love, Unconditional love, is wonderful, Just be there for them if they need you. My Gram was there for me in the toughest times of my life.ReplyDelete
I don't have any grandbabies yet but I DO KNOW that every baby/child NEEDS a quilt!!ReplyDelete
Just hold those babies and give lots of love and kisses. Remember what happens at grandma's stays at grandma's. Take lots of pictures, whether it be the first or the fifth. Never enough pictures. poladydwd(at)yahoo(dot)comReplyDelete
Pray that they grow into loving caring human beings that are a blessing to others.ReplyDelete
I'm Grammy to two grand daughters and 2 grandsons so far. The best advice I would give is to love and spoil them as much as possible without alienating their parents (you will get more opportunities that way).ReplyDelete

Oh how wonderful for you - Congratulations! My first 2 grandbabies (I have 7 now) were born 6 days apart, it seems like just yesterday - they'll be graduating from high school this year and off to college! Soooooo - you have to squeeeeeeeeeze them and love love love them and play with them 'cause the time goes by so quickly that they won't be babies for very long! I wish you so much joy and happiness with this new experience - there's none like it!! Enjoy it to the moon and back!!! :)ReplyDelete

I have 2 granddaughters & 2 grandsons. We have sung the song "You Are My Sunshine" since day one. Now at the ages of 16, 11, & 10,we love to sing it and have a good time. They are never too old to have fun with Grandma. Make the most of each & every visit, they grow up much too fast.ReplyDelete
Congrats for your granbabies!!!!, I'm not even a mom, but I could make to both their first and special quilt..., as well show them your love for quilting, and teach them, no matter the gender, it's a special memory they will remind forever!!!!ReplyDelete
ROOTS and WINGS: They've been given roots to grow - now "let" them flex their wings and watch them FLY! Enjoy the view G-ma!ReplyDelete
What a block! It reminds me of Snail Trails block. Love the colors. Grandmotherhood is just wonderful! We just had our 3rd grandchild and are going next month to visit her in Italy. What fun that will be. I only wish they were closer so we could see her more often. Lots of pictures help when they are so far away. Enjoy each wet kiss...they are just precious!
My grandma always had cookies and a listening ear. Best wishes on a happy healthy baby.ReplyDelete
Fun block!ReplyDelete
congrats on the new grandbaby :-)
I would encourage you to live God BIG in your own life and share God's love with them each day from the very beginning. Have a wonderful time!
Congratulations! Just love them and spoil them.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh!! You are going to love being a grandma. I have 8 grandsons from 19 to 6. They are all so different. My advice, never give up a chance to babysit. Give those parents a break. Love em, spoil em cos that's what grannies do.ReplyDelete
It really depends on what the kid wants Grandma to be.ReplyDelete

Grandmas always have fun ideas that mom wouldn't really want to do herself :) - from a momReplyDelete
Congratulations! Grandmas get all the fun and none of the headaches...right? Grandmas tend to spoil the grand kids and let them do things that the parents don't approve of. Or so I hear.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I have 8 grandchildren and every one of them is unique. Hold them, hug them, have fun with them. If they live far away, make sure they have some pictures of you so they will remember who you are. Talk on the phone with them...sometimes the conversations are a little tricky, but fun none the less.ReplyDelete
I'm not a grandma, but what I loved best about both of mine were how much fun they were to be with and how much attention they lavished on me. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on block in magazine and 2 grandbabies.ReplyDelete

Grandma's are wonderful, I am not one yet but I loved my Grandma. She was a wonderful lady, I use to hang out with her in her sewing room and help her and play with all her notions while she sewed. I always got treats and she made the best banana pancakes for breakfast.ReplyDelete
Love on that grandbaby like crazy. My best memories are of my grandmas..I miss them so much even today!ReplyDelete
Buy quality picture books for your grandchildren and read to them every chance you get.ReplyDelete
I am not a grandma yet our oldest is getting married May 31st , 2015 and our youngest does not plan on ever getting married. so we will see what happens. but my mom loved all of her grandbabies she always had time for them and let them know that she loved them for who they were unconditionally but she was grandma and there was no playing around with rules and such for this she was respected and loved in turn. she has been gone now for 3 years and all the grandkids still love her bunches, no one talks bad about grandma around them. she instilled in her grandbabies respect, love for others and the love of JesusReplyDelete

I am not a grandma yet but hopeful. If it doesn't happen I'm ok with that. My advice would be don't be afraid to set boundaries and have your own set of rules early on for your grandchildren. Children learn from all different sources and will respect accordingly. Most of all have fun!ReplyDelete
Congrats on becoming a Grandma, it is amazing how much love you will feel for those little ones. I am just a new Grandma and am learning all about it. I plan to play, do crafts, garden, and go exploring etc when she is older. Thanks for the giveaway of your patterns, and love QM 100 blocksReplyDelete
Take every opportunity you get to make memories with them. It is amazing what little things they keep as a memoryReplyDelete
I will never be a grandma, but I enjoyed being a grand-daughter very much. Congratulations! I'm sure your do fine.ReplyDelete
How exciting to be a first time Grandma! I don't have any grandchildren {yet!}, but one of the things I loved to do with my Grandma was going out to lunch with her one-to-one. It always made me feel so special :o) Thank you so much for hosting an opportunity to win a Volume 11 issue!ReplyDelete
I'm not a grandma and probably never will be but using my dear sister as the example of a perfect grandma, I would say first unconditional love. No matter what happens, love them anyway and let them know it! Also, make sure you're giving them your undivided attention. At home, they probably won't be getting it as much especially if there are going to be more siblings in the future and if both parents work. Even if you sit and do nothing. I spend time with my grown son a lot and I'll just watch him play video games. I've learned so much about him through that activity... how he problem solves and what catches his eye and how fast he can read and type. LOL I wish I had done that as he was growing up. I tried a few times but with work, I never had the time that I have now. Time and love are probably two of the most important things a person can do for another person whether it be on the phone, in a text, email, or in person. Stay in touch with your grandchildren as they get older and keep up to date on the latest things... you won't regret it! Plus, it's always great to learn something new!! LOL Enjoy!!!ReplyDelete

Not a grandma yet, but my children have two wonderful grandmothers who support them in all of their varied activites. Also, I always love when they give my children books AND read to them, it encourages a love of reading.ReplyDelete
Being a grandma is the greatest. I have four grandchildren and love them to bits.ReplyDelete
Lots of love and cuddles.ReplyDelete
Being a grandma is so wonderful. I would keep a journal of their fun sayings. When I was with my granddaughter, I would send a note home with her about the funny things she said or did. I wish I had written them for myself too.ReplyDelete
See them as often as you can and give them lot of hugs.ReplyDelete
I'm not a grandma but I saw both my grandmothers frequently when I was a kid. Other than loving them like crazy, I think spending time with them is a wonderful thing grandmas can do for grandchildren. And of course making quilts for them is awesome too!ReplyDelete
I am a grandma to four, 3 girls and one lone boy. the best advice now that they are older is be available to listen whenever they feel the need to talk. My oldest is now 13 and having a close relationship allows her to feel comfortable telling me things she won't tell her parents! Now passing the girls some of my craft knowledge but hope grandson will at least learn to sew on a button. email@example.com
Spoil them as much as you can....let your kids do the parenting (it will infuriate them that you break every rule you enforced when they were growing up LOL). Respect your kids choices in how they parent....as different from yours as they may be, as long as they are safe. Keep in contact with your grandkids, not just your kids. When they are old enough, as to speak to them when you call. Mail them cards & packages, just because. Read to them. Play with them. Cuddle with them. Love them forever. Spend time with them. Be patient with them. Teach them, LISTEN to them. Watch them discover the world on their own terms, feel free to provide any opportunity to expose them to new things. OFFER to take them, don't just take them when asked. When you are with them, be WITH them, not preoccupied with something else. When making pie....always have a little extra crust that you can make a cinnamon/sugar twist with, and when making cookies, always leave a few chips in the bag (thank you Grandma Smith, it wasn't unnoticed). No matter how important the project, let them help...you can always undo it if need be, but they will remember that forever! (My grandmother used to decorate wedding cakes, and she'd let us help her make the roses...I'm pretty sure those never saw the light of day, but we all felt a million feet tall and remember it 40 years later...). Hug and kiss them, don't ever miss an opportunity to spend time with them. The laundry, shopping and quilting can all wait.ReplyDelete

Congratulations! I have 4 little granddaughters and the are so much fun. My advice is to spend as much time with them as often as possible.ReplyDelete
I'm a recent first-time grandma. Spoil them, but also make sure you have as many traditions as you can share with them.ReplyDelete
I am not a grandma, but the times I remember best with my grandmas are the simple things, like playing games and making cookies.ReplyDelete
I think Karyn Ashly-Smith said it all. Maybe she will adopt me! lolReplyDelete

I am the grandma of 10. I hope your grandchild is closer to you than ours have been. The closest was a 12 hr. drive and the others were 6 days drive. Just be loving and encouraging, and only offer advise when asked for it.ReplyDelete
Teach them something special...my grandmother taught me how to bake bread...Every time I make it I can feel her by my side.ReplyDelete
I love being a grandma, we learn much more as we get older and you just enjoy him or her, give them lots of love and see the world again, through their eyes. For me it is teaching him about the outdoors, since his parents are more indoor types and he loves to go exploring with grandma.ReplyDelete
Not a grandma yet, but I would say just spend time with the grandkids. We would stay at our grandparents' house for a few days at a time and just spend time with them. We'd bake cookies, work in the garden, even clean house. Those are the best memories!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 8, 2015 at 11:33 PM
I would say, just relax and enjoy them--they grow up fast!ReplyDelete
Let them play in the kitchen and in the sewing room with you! Whatever you teach them, whenever they do it in the future, they will be reminded of you and the time they got to spend with you! I remember my grandmother used to make cutout Christmas cookies and gingerbread men and send them to us every Christmas...every time I see/make/eat one, I think of her and the special way she showed her love for us!!ReplyDelete
Read to your grandchildren, even when they are babies! They love to hear your voice and they will also learn to love books! Get out board books and let them chew on the corners...it gets books into their hands!ReplyDelete
A grandma is the one that you can always go to with anything! Comfort and treats!ReplyDelete
Let the parents be the disciplinarians. You be the fun one!ReplyDelete
Be there for your kids. Don't be pushy. Ask them how they would like you to help them as they get used to taking care of a newborn. Love them, show them, teach not criticize. I always wanted to know lots of ways that other parents do things, and then I can figure out what works best for me.ReplyDelete
Read, give them books, teach them to love readingReplyDelete
I am not a grandma but my advice would be to build a relationship with your grandkids so they are comfortable talking to you about anything. As they get older tlhey will want to spend time with you if they know that you are there for them and want to be with them. Congratulations on becoming a grandmother!ReplyDelete

Love & spoil them!ReplyDelete
Give them books and read to them. Sew for them. I have made an assortment of lightweight flannel blankets for my two granddaughters as well as some quilts, pillowcases, tote bags, and headbands. I enjoy making them things and they enjoy receiving pretty gifts. I give them things at random times rather than wait for birthdays or holidays. -- soparkaveataoldotcomReplyDelete
Enjoy every minute!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! Granddaughter are the best! Just remember , you are not the parent. This is the time to make memories with them and spoil a little.ReplyDelete
How exciting to be a grandma! I am not one yet, but I am looking forward to it. I already have been making doll clothes, and planning for kid quilts.ReplyDelete
I think grandmas should tell you how awesome you are and give lots of hugs!ReplyDelete

Congratulations on being a first time grandmom. I have three grandkids. You are going to fall deeply in love with them the minute you see them. Just love,spoil, and most of all enjoy them.ReplyDelete
I have three young grandsons and now a granddaughter. My advice is be sure to get your picture taken with each child every time you see them. Life goes by too fast so cherish each moment.ReplyDelete
I just became a first-time grandma. just have lots of fun. They seem to grow faster than your own kids.ReplyDelete
You are lucky to have two close in age; try to make sure they see each other and get along.ReplyDelete
Be ready to intercede on their behalf always. Be their advocate, let them know you are there for them.
I often remind my kids that grandkids are why I had them!
It is hard to keep a delicate balance but work at it. The grand is top priority; your chlid is grown.
I have 7 kids, 6 grands so far and all know beyond a doubt that I LOVE them.
It is so much fun with each. I love time with each one although they are all very different as your relationships with them will be.
Be there for them, teach what you can, listen to them, play! Make it fun for them and comfortable. No fear!
I have 4 grandkids, every Christmas they each get a special decoration as park of their presents. They also have a storage box to keep them in. I date the decorations, so later they can look back and see how their likes have changed over the years,ReplyDelete
I am not a Grandma, but my advice would be to just be there for them no matter what, whether it be good or bad. They need to know that you love them unconditionally.ReplyDelete
I'm not a grandma, but will tell you that the most fun was when my grandma would do things with me that my mom didn't do. It was just the two of us!! Create your own memories!!ReplyDelete
My grandson is far away so I don't really get to be a granny, except by mail. So i send him books so he'll know that i'm always thinking about him.ReplyDelete
My advice is just to relax and enjoy your time with them. Let the parents do the worrying. LOLReplyDelete
(get a tongue guard soyou can bite your tongue on unsolicited advice - that's what I'll need!). Otherwise, just enjoy every minute, takes lots of pictures of the baby with the parents (since they can't take the pictures themselves). Maybe even keep a private baby book of the baby's progress, since the mom may be so busy that she'll forget to record things, and it would be a nice surprise for her at baby's first birthday!ReplyDelete

That is the greatest comment EVAH!!!!
I love it. About to send it to my best punnin' bud. He'll be happy for a week.
Now I wished I had signed in as Princess instead of 4Bub.
Bobby Cox was told Joe Torre announced he'll retire after 2011 season. "See what I started," Cox said, smiling between bites of a sandwich.
So sorry DOB had to see that. Yikes.
"Last year I did some good things and bad things," Kawakami said. "This year I just want everything to be good."
A man who cuts to the chase.
I'll admit it…I cheered on accident when Eric Staal scored.
New show coming tonight, gang.
Bub – I am so with you on the vast addition by subtraction thing the team has going for it heading into the new season.
New Show! Excellent!
*I should add to my "replacing black holes" spill that I think KJ will rebound in AZ. I just don't think he would have here.
[sheds one tear]
And while I still have my suspicions that Prado will drop down to about .280, I'm optimistic he will pull his weight.
Wahoo! Excited about the new show. I hope Curt was kind to ya Steve.
Come on Bub…give Prado him .300.
*electric guitar music*
"Your listening to AtLANTa Baseball Talk… your weekly podcast for all things Atlanta Braves…"

"Welcome to the show! Today is Sunday, February 21, 2010, and my name is Curt-is-my-daddy-and-I'm-thankful-about-it, and I'm here with my co-hosts, Hammy and Daddy."
New show? Cool! Prediction time? or too early for that? I don't care, just love to hear stuff about the Bravos.
ps: please don't talk about TW. please. I've had enough.
no Tiger. no way.
no kindness from Curt. no way
It wasn't that bad.
Steve made it a 3 minute show just to get it over with

The life and work of theatrical pioneer Stephen Joseph comes under the spotlight at Scarborough Art Gallery next month.
Author and theatre expert Paul Elsam is giving an illustrated evening talk about Joseph, the man who brought theatre-in-the-round to this country, set up what is now the Stephen Joseph Theatre, and first encouraged a young Alan Ayckbourn to write.
Paul Elsam trained as an actor in Manchester, and has gone on to act, direct and teach, both here and in the USA.
Living and working in Scarborough from 1993, Paul heard Alan Ayckbourn speak often of Stephen Joseph as his mentor; yet hardly anyone else seemed to know who Joseph was.
Paul set out to fill in some gaps in the historical record, and in 2010 he completed a PhD on the work and legacy of Stephen Joseph. This research was later published by Bloomsbury as Stephen Joseph – Theatre Pioneer and Provocateur.
In Paul's view Stephen was a theatre revolutionary – bringing theatre-in-the-round to the UK, and giving space and encouragement to other innovators including Alan Ayckbourn, Harold Pinter and verbatim theatre pioneer Peter Cheeseman. As Alan Ayckbourn explains in the foreword to Paul's book, Joseph was above all a teacher – but a teacher who 'threatened at any moment to blow up the classroom'.
Paul currently lectures at Teesside University, and teaches acting at ALRA North drama school. He is author of the bestselling Methuen handbook Acting Characters.
Tickets for the talk are £5.00, and it will last around an hour. Places are limited, so booking is recommended. To book, or for further information, please call the Art Gallery on 01723 374753.
The talk is part of a programme of events around SJT at 60 (11 July to 13 September), an exhibition at Scarborough Art Gallery celebrating the 60th anniversary of Scarborough's world-famous theatre. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturdays from 10am to 5pm, plus Bank Holidays.

text: Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas (right) and Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal (left) in row over unity prime minister [Getty] A planned announcement of a new Palestinian unity government has been delayed after the Fatah and Hamas movements failed to agree on a prime minister. The announcement was planned for Tuesday, but Fatah officials told the Reuters news agency that talks between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who heads Fatah, and Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal, had been postponed. The unity deal was reached after both groups agreed to a reconciliation deal in April, when the rival factions agreed to form an administration of ministers without party affiliations, to prepare for general elections within a year. Fatah, led by Western-backed Abbas, nominated Salam Fayyad, a former World Bank economist who currently heads the Palestinian government in the West Bank, to the post. Hamas, the group which maintains power in the Gaza Strip since taking control from Fatah in 2007, has rejected Fayyad, accusing him of co-operating with Israel's blockade on Gaza. "We asked our brothers and the Egyptian leadership to postpone the meeting for several days," said Azzam al-Ahmed, head of the Fatah delegation to unity talks in Cairo, citing Abbas's busy schedule. "We will call them in a few days to set a date for a new meeting, and we hope the next session will be successful," he told Reuters. 'Serious implications' Other Fatah officials, who asked not be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue, attributed the delay to the dispute over appointing Fayyad. Hamas spokesperson Taher Al-Nono confirmed that Fatah asked for a delay. "We are ready to meet once they are," Al-Nono told Reuters. A statement issued earlier from the office of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' administration in Gaza, said: "The meeting may be postponed and this will have serious implications for the discussions on forming the government." Last week, Palestinian officials said Abbas and Meshaal would meet in Cairo on Tuesday to unveil the new government. Fayyad supporters say his standing abroad was an asset for Palestinians in ensuring the continued flow of international aid and in pursuing a bid for UN recognition of Palestinian statehood, expected in September. Israel has said the reconciliation accord, brokered in secrecy by Egypt, would not secure peace and it urged Abbas to continue to shun Hamas. SOURCE: Agencies Politics Middle East Egypt Israel

On Saturday, I participated in yet another 5k!
This time it was for Eastside Christian Academy and it was their first time ever hosting the race. It was a very well organized event, especially for being a smaller race, and it was such a beautiful morning to be out running at E.P. Tom Saywer Park!
It was a little chilly at the start, but the sun came out and their was a nice breeze. It was really the perfect running weather. Long sleeves and sunglasses are a good indicator for me.
My friend Farrah was supposed to run with me but she backed out last minute. So it was all me! I didn't realize it until now, but this was the first race I had ran by myself in a LONG time. Which is funny because that's how I started was alone. So it was almost like the old days 😉 But I do enjoy having company sometimes too.
We got started a little after 9:00 a.m. and immediately I knew this was going to be a challenging race. We treaded on gravel, through grass and on dirt roads. My legs were feeling it a mile into the race, but my breathing was steady and it felt so good, mentally, just to be running again.
There was a water stop halfway through, which I stopped at and walked through as I drank a small cup of water. Then I started jogging again.
I tried to steadily increase my pace each mile and sprinted at the end. I teared up a little bit because literally, the last quarter mile, I was by myself and everyone at the end was cheering for me as I sprinted toward the finish, including a friend from church who told me about the race (one of her kids goes to school there).
It was just AWESOME.
- Distance: 5k (3.1 miles)
- Time: 30:45
- Avg. pace: 9:54/mile
And I finished 35th out of 94 people, how cool is that?!
After I finished, I slammed three cups of water and then stood at the finish line to watch all the other runners and walkers come across and clap for them the way so many had done for me.
It was so awesome to see so many kids and families out there too. There was a 1-mile "fun run" but many of the kids did the 5k too! It made me realize that I can't wait to share this with my kids someday.
I don't have another 5k race until the 29th, but I'm so glad I have these to keep me motivated to run this summer. I'm thinking some Fall races will be on the agenda as well…

Our Grow systems allow you to grow crops in a simple and easy way wherever you are, even if you don't have a garden.
Our Vertical Farms are based on hydroponic food production, a system used to grow plants without soil. Plants and vegetables are grown in natural materials that do not react with water and then fed with water that contains nutrients – direct to the roots.
By growing food using hydroponics we overcome the barrier many people face – i.e. not having access to green space or soil.
Vertical farms have other benefits:
- Uses 90% less water than growing in soil.
- Produces higher yields in less space.
- Consumes less than £10/year in energy bills if run 365 days/year, 24 hours.
- Grows a wide range of crops – lettuce, rocket, basil, watercress, spinach, strawberries, herbs…
- Grows food in your kitchen or garden reducing food miles.
All installations are designed to specification and in line with your growing preferences.

How long does it take to write a book, including revisions?
"What? You wrote a novel in one year? That's crazy, it takes years to write a novel." This was a friend's response when I gave her the news. At the time, I thought she was really off base. Years? What was she thinking?
But here we are, a century later, and I'm still revising, rewriting, and rethinking my manuscript. Well, it hasn't been exactly a century, but it feels like it. It's a little less than that—let's make that seven years later. So I'm the unwitting proof of my friend's hypothesis.
Writing my novel has been a slow and steady labor of love. It must be the longest labor ever experienced by any woman who ever roamed this planet. I'm hoping for the day when this baby is finished gestating!
I'm wondering:
Fellow WRITERS, how about you? How long have you been working on the same project? If you've completed your book and its revisions, how long did it take?
Fellow READERS, when you're deep into a great read, do you ever wonder how long it took the author to write that book?
Online and in magazines for writers, I've seen trillions of articles, businesses, books, and other opportunities that practically guarantee writing success in its many forms. I started a search to find the remedy to my snail's pace and lack of progress in snagging an agent. Reading the titles, I became rapturously encouraged and giddy with hope that I had found my manuscript's deliverance. Yes, with these resources and a few months of installment payments, I could be published! No doubt. Can you say: SUCCESS?
I'd like to share my findings with you, but to protect the innocent, I'm only offering titles in these lists. (You're welcome to Google, too. Remember, "God helps those who help themselves.") I'll also share my comments and questions, FYI. Have fun!

The manager of Strika, Mawuko Kuadzi, has dismissed reports that the "Beast of No Nation" actor has turned to begging on the streets because he's not being treated well.
According to him, Strika, real name Emmanuel Nii Adom Quaye, has been enrolled in a Montessori school in Cape Coast but he has refused to stay in school.
"He is not a beggar. He is currently a pupil of Cape Coast Montessori School and in Class 5. After the Beast of No Nation audition, we realized that he was not fluent in English and was not going to school, so we decided to take him to school," Mawuko who is also the manager of Abraham Atta told citinewsroom.com in an interview.
A Facebook post by one Caleb Nii Boye suggested that the young chap had resorted to begging on the streets of Accra because he had been abandoned.
According to Caleb, Strika said he was selling yam at Agbogbloshie Market and lived with his grandmother at North Kaneshie.
He revealed that after shooting the movie he was supposed to have been paid $30, 000, but he did not get the money from the movie producers.
He said he was also supposed to have had 1% of the revenue accrued from the sale of the movie.

"I did not even see the money. They said the money was at the bank," he added.
Strika noted that he had been told by a gentleman called Kofi Robert that he would be given the money if he attains the age of eighteen (18).
Even though he is 18 now, he says attempts to get the money have not been successful.
However, Mawuko said the money is safe but the management are in doubt of his ability to manage the money.
The artiste manager also said it was not true that Striker earned GH¢10,000 for his role in Jungo Justice. He explained that the amount was rather Gh¢1,000 – some of which was used to clothe him for a programme.
Citinewsroom.com investigations also prove that allegations that Abraham Attah pays little attention to Striker is false.
According the source, whenever Abraham is in Ghana, he usually visits Striker and another young actor who is also in the school at Cape Coast.
Apart from Jungo Justice, there are two other yet-to-be-released movies which Strika has starred in.
Even though Striker wishes to drop out of school and get into apprenticeship, the managers believe he still needs to get some classroom education.
Beasts of No Nation is a 2015 American war drama film written, co-produced and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who acted as his own cinematographer, about a young boy who becomes a child soldier as his country goes through a horrific war.
Shot in Ghana and starring Idris Elba, Abraham Attah, Ama K. Abebrese, Grace Nortey, David Dontoh, and Opeyemi Fagbohungbe, the film is based on the 2005 novel of the same name by Uzodinma Iweala ― the book itself being named after a Fela Kuti album.

Sha Samuels biography
The East-End hard man is another IPW:UK original, having been with the promotion since its inception. As one half of The Kartel alongside his best friend Terry Frazier, Samuels enjoyed huge success in the tag team ranks as The Kartel, dominating that division for many years.
With a rugged, hard hitting style, Sha Samuels was the perfect partner to Frazier's faster, high flying style and this perfect partnership led The Kartel to the British Tag Team Championships.
With Frazier long gone, Samuels made himself a star in the singles division and holds the record for the longest reign as IPW:UK World Champion, whilst also being the man who held the World and All-England titles at the SAME time!
But will he be remembered most for "the ball pit" in Brixton, 2016?

Recently, new data in monkeys and humans have provided new insights into the potential role of calorie restriction in longevity. Recent findings A study in rhesus monkeys showed a reduction in aging-associated mortality. A number of controlled studies have suggested a variety of beneficial effects during studies of 6–12 months in humans. Major negative effects in humans were loss of muscle mass, muscle strength and loss of bone. Summary Dietary restriction in rodents has not been shown to be effective when started in older rodents. Weight loss in humans over 60 years of age is associated with increased mortality, hip fracture and increased institutionalization. Calorie restriction in older persons should be considered experimental and potentially dangerous. Exercise at present appears to be a preferable treatment for older persons. aGRECC, VA Medical Center, USA bDivision of Geriatric Medicine, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, USA Correspondence to John E.

Fortunately for Adam, at that moment Annie, Lassimer's maidservant, entered with a letter on a small tray.
"Beg pardon for disturbing you, gentlemen," she said, "but there's a man at the door says he is a messenger. He went first to your house, doctor, and was sent here. He says you have to read this at once so that he may carry your reply. A most handsome man he is too." Annie's eyes shone at the recollection. "All kitted out in the finest worsted cloth, with the king's coat of arms on his saddlecloth and holding the biggest horse I ever did see."
Adam hurried to open the letter and read its contents. "It is from Mr Wicken at the Alien Office in London," he told Peter.
"That much I had guessed for myself," Peter said. "See, once again your mysterious Mr Wicken is on hand to involve you in another mystery. Already your prayers are answered, though you have not even prayed them. "
"What prayers?"
"To be cured of your low spirits."
Adam frowned, but decided to ignore Peter's silliness. "Mr Wicken asks me to meet him in Norwich as soon as I may be able to get there," he said.
"Go! Tell the messenger to say that you are on your way. While you are there, you can also visit your mother … and Miss LaSalle too, of course."
"But my patients! I cannot ride away and forget about them. What will happen to my practice?"
"Have you any urgent cases at present?" Peter asked.
"No, but …"
"Then there is no problem. Instruct your servants to explain you have been called away for a few days and will deal with medical business on your return. Any urgent requests for help they can send to me."
"But I cannot impose upon you in this way," Adam said. "You have your own business to deal with …"
"… which is not yet so onerous that I cannot make time for a patient in urgent need," Peter said. "Set your mind at rest. You do not impose upon me, for I have offered you my help of my own accord."
"You are a true friend, Lassimer," Adam replied. "Only …"
"Do not dose your patients with any of my vile brews?"
"That was not what I was about to say. This is no matter for levity. I wanted to say be sure you do not neglect your business in favour of mine."
"At times, Bascom, you speak the greatest nonsense. Now sit and compose your reply to the great man who waits upon your arrival."
Adam pulled a face at that, yet sat and did as he was told. His reply promised that he would be in Norwich that evening. He would call on Mr Wicken at eleven the next day.

"One cannot be neutral in situations of injustice, and in his memoir, That Bird Has My Wings, Jarvis Jay Masters exposes the complex problems of a system that has resulted in a disproportionate number of blacks in the U.S. prison system. In the history of South Africa, we are not unfamiliar with this phenomenon. Forthright about his own failings as well, Masters truth has brought him reconciliation with the divine and with his best self. His memoir is a plea for reform, for a common humanity, and I share his hope that this moving story will redouble our efforts to make sure that every child matters."
Desmond Tutu
"That Bird Has My Wings is a real-life The Wire--heartbreaking and harrowing, impossible to put down. Masters writes his journey from unthinkable violence to grace with honesty, poetry, and revelation. This book would be a miraculous accomplishment for any writer, even if it had not been written from inside San Quentin Prison. It captivates, instructs, and inspires as Masters chronicles his hellish childhood, accepts responsibility for the injuries he caused, and shows how enlightenment can occur even in a place as grim as death row. Masters writes, that bird has my wings, but as this brave book attests, he has found his wings."
David Sheff, author of Beautiful Boy
"African Americans are seven times more likely to go to jail than whites; youth of color represent two-thirds of our countrys juvenile inmates. Jarvis Jay Masters moving memoir provides an intimate portrait of this tragic inequality. It testifies to the need for better education, greater training, and increased opportunity to keep these forgotten youth from ending up in our nations juvenile centers and prisons. Read this book!"
Van Jones, founder , The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights & Green for All, and author of Green Collar Economy
"All across America, boys are lost to trauma and deprivation. Few of them have given voice to their experience and the redemptive power of spirituality as has Jarvis Jay Masters. When faced with life in prison, each person must choose between living as a savage or as a monk. The choice Jarvis made speaks volumes about the human spirit."
James Garbarino, Ph.D., author of Lost Boys: Why Our Sons turn Violent and What We Can Do About It
"Brave, heartbreaking, redemptive and wise. Jarvis Jay Masters has turned his life into remarkable good medicine."
Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
"The book of Ecclesiastes tells us there is a time to every purpose under the heavens
. If so, Jarvis Jay Masters purpose is clearly to survive and teach. His ability to emerge alive from a childhood of horror, depravity, degradation and debasement beggars the imagination. His ability to cling to a faint glimmer of hope even as torture is rained on his formative years is the stuff of heroes. His ability to recognize, subdue and transform the self-destructive drive such life-denying forces promote is a lesson for us all. His time is now. His book is a testament to the human spirit."
Mike Farrell, chair of Death Penalty Focus, is the author of "Just Call Me Mike: a Journey to Actor and Activist" and "Of Mule and Man".

So far, our summer has been active enough to suit just about everyone.
We've been playing with kitties, including one new toy (this kitty jungle gym) so far this month. I have my eye on another at Target, to add to the collection!
We've been to the new swimming pool, including taking Kira there for swim lessons. Parker's next. His swim lessons start on July 9.
Kids were getting ready for Father's Day -- posing for an appropriate photo that Anne printed and gave Ken for his office!
Father's Day afternoon was spent watching an Astros baseball game from a suite! Such luxury!!
We sent Parker off to camp on June 25, and he returned on the 28th. He had a TERRIFIC time, of course!!
So far, so good, even though we've also had rain, rain, rain. Not as badly as in northern and central Texas, but still ... lots of rain.

Fun in the water
Kira, Abbi, and Alex had a great time on the trampoline the other day -- with a sprinkler on it, too! It's a fine way to keep cool on a hot day. (Lots and lots of sunscreen was used, too!)

End of Baseball Season
Well, they did it! The Red Sox won the End of Season Tournament on Wednesday night, ending the season 21-3-0. They also won the South Zone Tournament and placed 3rd in the state tournament. Here are the teammates all lined up, ready to receive their EOS trophies. (You can click on each photo to "biggify" it.)
And here is an excellent team photo with their EOS team trophy (the big one!) front and center! Coach Kelly (on a business trip) was missing, but we know he'd love to have witnessed the last three nights of playing. Huge thanks to Coach Mike -- and to the other dads and one big brother who pitched in to help with coaching this week.

Wow, again!
After winning the South Zone Tournament on May 20, the team went to play in the state tournament in Grand Prairie this past weekend. The night of June 1, there were no games, but there was a team swim party and awards were given out. On June 2, the team had two games and won both. They came in third in the tournament - which means third in the state for their age-group. They had a wonderful time, and so did the parents.
Here are some photos of the picnic dinner for the team between the two games on Saturday.
After the picnic dinner, all the teammates and some of their siblings were taken back to the ball field for the second game.
Here's what Anne's car looked like! All the vans and trucks and cars were painted up like this!!
Parker was given the game ball for the second game; he made the hit that brought in the winning run. That game ended with a 7-6 score. He's flanked by his teammates, "Mo" on his right and Blake on his left.
This morning, in the hotel lobby, Coaches Kelly and Mike gave out the awards for the Red Sox team's third-place status. Coaches and families are all very proud of this team.

She is invited to present her solo show at the Kenneth B Gallery in Florence , Oregon in August 2014. Louie's new work is included in an invitational show, Bloom, at the Pence Gallery, Davis, California in March 2014.
Artist Statement
"The Rivers United Series 2014-002", was created in response to the Sacramento State University's One Word One World Initiative 2012 campus-wide event to the scientific and poetic interpretation of the word "water". Furthermore, this work was inspired and intensified by the artists concerns of the safety in drinking water while I was working with international artists in Beijing in the summer of 2012.
I intentionally use blue palette in concert with methodological naturalistic painting techniques of flowers and contemporary painting attitude to create a visual experience that is to draw attention for collaborative efforts to promote and preserve safe water and clean air for all to enjoy. The positive visual presentation of this work symbolizes the optimism and the mutual desire that lead to the ultimate triumph of global efforts.

Google continues to demonstrate that an online advertising recovery is well under way, at least when it comes to search advertising.
For its fiscal first quarter, which ended March 31, Google on Thursday reported revenue of $6.77 billion, up 23 percent from the same period last year. Financial analysts evaluate Google's revenue performance by excluding traffic-acquisition costs paid to Google's partners, which totaled $1.71 billion. That puts net revenue at $5.06 billion, slightly ahead of analyst estimates of $4.95 billion for the quarter.
Net income was $1.96 billion, up 38 percent from last year's first-quarter net income of $1.42 billion. Excluding special one-time costs, that translates to $6.76 in earnings per share, as compared to analyst estimates of $6.60 in earnings per share.
"We are continuing to invest heavily in people, products and acquisitions," said Patrick Pichette, Google's chief financial officer, on a call for financial analysts following the release of the results. CEO Eric Schmidt was not present on the call, as Pichette said that Google had decided to use a new format for earnings calls that lets Schmidt get out of the chore. Pichette and Jonathan Rosenberg, senior vice president for product management, will run future earnings calls.
Google has been on a growth track for several quarters now following the downturn in 2009, pronouncing in October that it appeared to be back for good and living up to those expectations ever since. Financial performance was strong across all geographic segments and all categories, including search, display, and mobile ads, Pichette said.
Revenue from Google's partners--through the AdSense network--grew slightly faster than ads placed on Google's own network of sites, up 24 percent compared to 20 percent. Revenue from ads on Google-operated sites made up 66 percent of its total revenue, with partner sites accounting for 30 percent of total revenue.
Paid clicks were up 15 percent compared to the first quarter of 2009, and the cost-per-click was also up, 7 percent compared to the prior year. Both are important metrics for judging Google's performance: paid clicks represent the number of people clicking on search ads, while cost-per-click represents the amount that advertisers pay to Google for each click under the auction model it uses to set ad prices.
Google also followed through on its pledge to keep hiring: the company employed 20,621 people at the end of the first quarter, compared to 19,835 at the end of 2009.
On the sales side, Nikesh Arora, president of global sales operations and business development, said Google was investing in display advertising. On the engineering side, Jeff Huber, senior vice president of engineering (filling in for Rosenberg) said Google is hiring aggressively for its Android and Chrome projects as well as for the Google Apps business.
Other than that, few new details were shared about Google's business. Executives declined to comment on how many Nexus One phones Google sold during the quarter, only to say that they were "extremely happy" with the sales and that the Nexus One is profitable, but not in a material way.
Similar strategies were adopted for the hot-button questions such as Google's relationship with Apple, the growth of Facebook, the potential Federal Trade Commission review of its proposed acquisition of AdMob, and the long-term effects of its decision to move Chinese-language search operations to Hong Kong.

Sexual happiness is considered one of the natural happiness that you are wanted to get it is very natural phenomenon in any individual. Men and women both are individuals looking for something that always makes their love life even more energetic and give a dramatic change in the way their love life is.
These changes can only occur when we give our partners that satisfaction that they are looking for. Every women is looking for a men who doesn't only looks good but is also a good love maker when is in the bedroom. The enhancement of males is important. The erections and timings definitely makes women not only satisfied but also makes her happy and content with her man.
Food intake:
To get the complete energy while having drastic erections it is important to eat the proper food that is required for the body.You must be thinking that the food is no way out linked with the enhancements or the erections.
But just like our body needs good food to live a healthy life, our mind needs good nutritious food, our skin needs food rich in different vitamins, in the same way the male enhancement needs food that are rich in some vitamins for the erections and satisfactions that they can get out of it and even can satisfy their partner.
Bananas are one of the most important food that can support erections and can increase the size of the penis. Bananas increases the blood flow to the heart and to the penis. Just like our heart needs the blood to be circulated energetically, in the same way it is important that the male get the blood flow without any clots at the right time.
Onions could also be a vital food that can increase the blood flow and can make the enhancements reach at peak. Vigrx Plus is only of the natural supplements that can increase the male enhancement and can comfort them to peak. It is important that we look at natural enhancements while we talk about the satisfaction that both the partners are looking for. It is important that we look at the natural way to increase and have good erections.
If not the natural way, then it is important to go through a product verification process. It is important to use the best product that is recognized and is been verified. Vigrx Plus is one of the supplement that is 100 % verified and can be trusted over for years now. Science itself has come up to solutions that can make any changes you want in the body.
It is also important that when you look at the product sometimes it is genuine and sometimes it just looks like it is genuine but actually it is not. Science has come up with so many capsules; Syrups, tablets or even conditioners that can be helpful in whatever changes you want to bring to your life. On the other hand it is also essential that we look at the side effects as in the long run it might get difficult to cop up with the side effects if we are not aware of.
This issue can also be sorted out by visiting a good Doctor. They are the one's who can guide us with the best prescribed solution which will definitely make a positive change. In order to continue taking the prescription of the doctor it is important that we make a mind set that is of coarse ready for the change in our life that will take place. Apart from giving medications, the doctor might also ask for a surgery that will increase the erections and can enhance the penis.
These changes cannot be done if the mindset of the individual is not strong. Surgeries can definitely be harmful if not now then in the long run. It is you who will decide if your body is ready for the surgery or not. Being contempt and strong in the procedure can definitely make a difference in the sexual life and make things better.
Having a small penis or having wrong time erections is not a big deal in today's century. Things are definitely different now in today's world than that of 30 years back. There is a solution present for any disease and any mishaps that happen at any stage of life. It is important that we change the way we look at it. If we look at it in a positive way, things will be sorted in a better way than getting worst. One of the factors could also be related to the hormonal misbalance. Vigrx Oil
One of the important tests that is related to the enhancement and erections. It is compulsory to visit a doctor and he/she might prescribe a hormonal test rather than keeping you on medicines. The report may decide if any hormonal issues are related to the erections, enhancements or not. These hormonal misbalance cannot be cured by us at any time as it is compulsory for the tests to take place and also imperative for the doctor to decide the same.
Vigrx plus is a supplement free of side effects and can act as wonders in the sexual life. It is 100% free from side effects. Apart from the scientific usage even the natural eating habits can play an important role in the male enhancements and can definitely make a change in the timings of erections and your love making life as in all.
Milk is another supplement that can be beneficial as it contains Vitamin C and has loads of benefits related to our body, mind and skin. Vitamin B5 can also be one of the important vitamins related to the male enhancements. If we follow the above-mentioned points, definitely we can make a change in our sexual life no matter if the issue has never been taken care of and we can positively life on our dreams.

While Ravens Quarterback Joe Flacco is celebrating the Superbowl win and his MVP award, he will have to remember that there is another group that will be eager to celebrate his win—the IRS. A recent Forbes article discusses the tax issues at hand for the NFL champion.
As MVP of the Superbowl, Flacco was awarded a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The car, worth an estimated $60,000, has tax implications that depend on whether or not Flacco keeps the sporty vehicle. If Flacco decides to keep the car, he will owe around $26,000 in income taxes. On the other hand, if Flacco decides to donate the car, the tax questions become a little more complicated.
If he were to decide to donate the car to charity, there are two options that he may select with differing tax implications. He could either accept the car and donate it to charity, or he may direct Chevrolet to donate the car directly without first receiving the vehicle. While it may seem like the options are the same, they do have subtle distinctions that could mean several thousand dollars difference for Flacco.
If Flacco elects to have Chevrolet donate the car directly, then the IRS will view the car as not existing, which means it will not have to be reported as income. The IRS website details four rules that must be met in order for an award not to be reported as income. Below is a direct list from the Forbes article:
"1. The prize or award was made primarily in recognition of religious, charitable, scientific, educational, artistic, literary or civic achievement;
2. The recipient was selected without any action on his part to enter the contest or proceeding;
3. The recipient is not required to render substantial future services as a condition to receive the prize or award; and
4. The prize or award is transferred by the payor to a government unit or [charitable organization] pursuant to a designation made by recipient."
Flacco's award qualifies because the MVP award is designated as a civic achievement that a player receives for doing his job, and that does not tie the recipient to the sponsor in the future (in this case, Chevrolet). The fourth rule is where the distinction between the first option and the second option is clear. If Flacco does not receive the car and instead asks that the car be transferred directly to the charity, the quarterback would be able to exclude the income from his tax return. On the other hand, if Flacco receives the keys and then donates the vehicle, it will cost him.
If he does receive the keys, he will have to report the $60,000 car on his tax return, which will be added to his adjusted gross income, limiting the amount that can be deducted to $1,800 as an itemized deduction. There are other calculations that would go into how much exactly could be deducted, as the outcome depends on whether the charity retains the car or sells it.
In the meantime, Flacco can appreciate the victory and make his tax decisions a little later.Segal, Cohen & Landis 9100 Wilshire Blvd. Ste. 601E Beverly Hills, CA 90212 (310) 285-3999

Columbus, OH Ohio Sea Grant Researchers Linda Weavers and Richard Sayre of The Ohio State University have developed a process that utilizes an unlikely pair – algae and sound waves – to remove mercury from Lake Erie sediment.
For four years, Dr. Weavers has been using ultrasound, or sonication, to loosen contaminants like PCBs and mercury from sediment. "Sonication uses sound waves to trigger intense chemical, physical, and thermal reactions," Weavers says. "We realized we could harness the power these reactions create to loosen up contaminants once locked in sediments."
The process worked very well: within two minutes, 33 percent of the mercury was extracted from the model sediment. However, at 60 minutes, when most of the mercury had been loosened, it began to reattach to the sediment again. So, the search was on to find something that could pull the mercury from the water.
For nearly 15 years, Dr. Sayre has been using a unicellular alga called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to do a variety of things, including separate heavy metals from Lake Erie sediment, vaccinate Lake Erie fish, and mass produce a bioterrorism antidote. It seemed like the perfect solution to Weavers' problem.
"Algae are ideal for sequestering heavy metals because they have large surface areas, and they have an intrinsic high metal binding capacity," explains Sayre. "We were able to increase that capacity by genetically modifying the algae."
In lab experiments, Weavers and graduate student Ziqi He were able to combine the algae and sonication to extract 30 percent of the mercury in 30 minutes. Further experiments are planned to increase that removal rate.

Situated in a spectacular valley setting, Rapid City is located 32 km Northwest of Brandon in the scenic Little Saskatchewan River Valley. Rapid City boasts Manitoba's first natural fish ladder. A great place to visit and live.Our appreciation goes out to Linda Black for sharing the below presentations. These are pieces of the presentation she delivered at the 2011 Rapid City Chamber Meet and Greet.
Thank-you Linda, great job!
The Facts
Past History
The following was submitted by Gladys Simpson.
"My family came to Rapid City on February 14th, 1932 by train..."
"In town at that time there were two general stores, a pharmacy, a bakery, two butcher shops, a hardware store, a lumber yard, a garage with a Ford dealership and the local power plant, another garage that had the local Chevrolet dealership, a livery stable, a tinsmith, a pool room/barbershop, two railways, two grain elevators, a blacksmith shop, a shoemaker, Queens Hotel, Royal Bank of Canada, Packers creamery, and a transfer business. There was also a doctor and veterinarian/auctioneer. Both CNR and CPR ran through town, with stations. You could travel to Winnipeg on the CN leaving Rapid City at 9:00 am and arriving in Winnipeg at 5:00 pm. On the CPR there were also two grain elevators. Other amenities were the Post Office, Telephone office, Town office and RM office."
"We had two schools at that time, a little school (now Bob Thompson's home) and the regular school (now the museum). The little school went out of existence when I was going into grade 2, and we all moved over to the big school, which then housed grades 1 to 11. There were also three churches in town, the Anglican, United and Baptist which was located where the children's playground now sits on the corner of 3rd and highway 270."
"The world was in the middle of the Great Depression, so it was a time of struggle for everyone to make a living. But as everyone was in the same boat, no one seemed to notice that fact. At that time many of the sidewalks were wooden planks, and it was not uncommon to see kids crawling under them, looking for any change that may be dropped through the cracks."
"Although we had the power plant in town, iceboxes were necessary to keep food from going bad , as the plant did not operate 24 hours a day."
Present Time
Our Stories
Below are snippets of stories sent into us from residence (past and present) and visitors of our town. If you have any stories you'd like to share, please send them to us using the contact us link above.
"As children, we spent a great deal of time outside in both winter and summer, and in a lot of cases the river was our playground, swimming and rafting in the summer and skating in the winter. The school hill was also a popular spot as we would slide down it for hours, or until the town bell rang, telling us it was supper time. As we grew older, Shorty Anderson's hill, south of town, was also an added attraction as it was bigger. There was never a time when when you couldn't find a bunch of kids for a game of some description, scrub, aunty aunty I over, kick the can, canny can, or hoist your sails - spending time inside was the last thing you wanted to do, as someone would always find a chore for you to do.
At one time, the Oddfellows used to put on a movie on Saturday nights, so that was a big attraction, they also held dances on the second floor much to the chargin of the druggists whose business was on the lower floor, as many times they would find some of their product on the floor the morning after a dance. Dances were very popular, and people never had babysitters, but would take the kids with them, and when they tired, they would just be laid down on a couple of coats until the dance was over. Some nights there would be two dances going on at the same time, one in the Oddfellows hall and one in the hall above the post office which is now the hairdresser's place." - Gladys Simpson

by Billy Graham
Billy Graham does a great job explaining salvation, why salvation is his reason of hope. In the eight easy, to read chapters he defines sin, hell and most of all salvation. I found the book hard to put down when you start to read. Billy has been telling people about Jesus Christ and salvation for about 70 years and has not lost anything in his enthusiastic description of salvation in this book. I think this should be necessary reading for all believers and non-believers. Billy has many stories of redemption and repentance that he shares with his readers. Billy, in his 90's, still can give a strong reason for accepting Jesus Christ as savor.
He gives many thought provoking statements about how things in America are heading down the moral ladder and why we need salvation. The book is not long but packed with the greatest reason for eternal life.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com <http://BookSneeze®.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255

Is this too much to ask for?
I have been going, going, going for around two weeks now. Last week was busy with the final planning leading up to my sister's wedding in addition to the fact that I had some sort of plans (dinner or what not) every night of the week. Then I went to Michigan for the wedding. And now this past weekend I've had a friend visiting from out-of-town, so needless to say, we've been running around Chicago all weekend seeing the sights. Don't get me wrong - life. is. good. But I am tiiiiiiired. Is it too much to ask for a day that I sleep in 'til 10 then spend the next few hours drinking cappuccinos, eating a croissant, and reading a new book (Devil in a White City is on the top of my list) at this charming Bakeri in Brooklyn?
7 comments:

Haha I had the same problem- I gave in but then realized I spent $10 at the coffee shop, which is how much I make an hour. Not worth it!ReplyDelete

Public Talk by Professor Peyman Vahabzadeh
The "Muslim Extremist" 's Invisible Relative: How to Trace the Silent Violence that Informs Our Lives?
Public Talk by Professor Peyman Vahabzadeh, Department of Sociology, University of Victoria
Abstract: In a world of corporate media, social networks, breaking (bad) news, the propagated images of "Muslim extremists" and their brutal atrocities serve the global powers in the West with facile justifications for military interventionism and regime changes. What is often missed in such a contrast is the way in which extremist violence in fact overshadows the structural, institutional, and hubristic forms of violence that define our globalized civilization defined by formal democracies, the upholding of human rights, and market rationality. My tripartite concept of violence is intended to bring to the light the endemic but silent violence that permeates every aspect of our civilizational lives. It exposes how we have internalized and accepted many forms of violence as necessary, inevitable, or even desirable.
Bio: Peyman Vahabzadeh is Professor of Sociology at University of Victoria, Canada. He is the author of Articulated Experiences: Toward a Radical Phenomenology of Contemporary Social Movements (2003), A Guerrilla Odyssey: Modernization, Secularism, Democracy and the Fadai Discourse of National Liberation in Iran, 1971-1979 (2010), Exilic Meditations: Essays on A Displaced Life (2012), Parviz Sadri: A Political Biography (2015), and Violence and Nonviolence: Conceptual Excursion into Phantom Opposites (2018), and the editor of Iran's Struggles for Social Justice: Economics, Agency, Justice, Activism (2017).

A couple of weeks ago, I was taking inventory in our fridge and I realized there were a bunch of prepared, fresh veggies that needed to be used up in there. I had a container of leftover, cubed butternut squash, a sliced zucchini, half a bag of baby spinach, a red bell pepper and some chopped, sweet onion that needed some attention.
So, what was I to do with all those veggies?!
Initially, I thought about throwing everything together on a sheet pan with some chicken pieces (totally digging the sheet pan dinners lately!) and some spices to roast it all. But, before committing to the oven, I decided to take a quick look in the pantry, and I immediately saw two cans each of tomatoes and chickpeas... right then I knew I had to make a meatless stew!
I mean, isn't the answer to a dinner dilemma always stew?!
Well, in my opinion, you can't go wrong with a good, hearty pot of stew and this veggie-loaded recipe is so satisfying that I'm certain that even the most carnivorous skeptics won't miss the meat. Trust me, my barbecue-loving husband had his doubts about this meatless supper (insert moaning and groaning here), but he was "stuffed" after just one bowl!
Spicy "Kitchen Sink" Veggie Stew
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash
- 1 medium zucchini, halved and sliced
- 3/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup sweet yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper (to taste... 1/2 tsp gives it quite a kick!)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons teaspoons dried parsley (substitute fresh if you have some handy)
- 1 large dried bay leaf
- 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) petite diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 3 cups broth, veggie or chicken flavor
- 2 cans (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2-3 cups fresh, baby spinach leaves
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven, and add onions, garlic, both squashes and the bell pepper to the pot. Add a few dashes of salt and saute the veggies for about 5 minutes.
- Add the spices and herbs to the vegetables and stir. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and broth. Bring pot to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
- Add in the chickpeas, stir and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning as desired at this time. Turn off the heat and fold in the fresh spinach until wilted.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
