Minecraft is a 2009 sandbox video game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by Mojang. It is the inspiration for Telltale Games' Minecraft: Story Mode, which is set in an interpretation of Minecraft's world.
The creative and building aspects of Minecraft enable players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3-D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat.
Game Modes
Minecraft has several gameplay modes, or "gamemodes," which include:
- Survival Mode: where the player must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health.
- Creative Mode: where players have unlimited resources to build with and the ability to fly.
- Hardcore Mode: similar to survival, but hardest mode in the game. Only 1 life per world for each player.
- Adventure Mode: where players can play custom maps created by other players.
- Spectator Mode: where players can fly around and clip through blocks, but cannot place or destroy any.
Minecraft also has a MultiPlayer feature, where players can play on servers, and a "Realms" feature where players can play on hosted worlds.
Minecraft has been released on several platforms:
- Personal Computer and Mac (PC) Edition
- Console (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Wii U, Nintendo Switch) Edition
- Pocket Edition (Android, iOS, Windows Phone)
- Raspberry Pi Edition
- Virtual Reality (VR) Edition
Minecraft has generally received positive reception, and is currently the 3rd most selling game of all time. As of June 2015, over 70 Million copies of the game have been sold, 30 Million being from Pocket Edition.
- A Minecraft: Story Mode skin pack has been released for Minecraft. (Link)

Our sea turtle conservation project has been running for over 20 years on Phra Thong Island in Thailand. We have focused on in-situ protection of the sea turtle nests on the beaches of Koh Phra Thong and Koh Ra, but during the past years we have done many other activities that help the conservation efforts.
Sea turtle nesting season begins typically in December and continues until end of March. So this is the time period we are present on the island.
Each season in different as some of our activities depend on additional funding, but the core activities stay the same. We monitor the main nesting beach of Phra Thong every morning by walking. We call it simply beach 1, which is about 10km long. We monitor the Northern half of the beach, so the walk is approximately 10km. The other half is monitored by local employee of the Phuket Marine Biological Center.
We also monitor 2 other beaches on Phra Thong regularly as well as take a boat to monitor several beaches of near by Koh Ra.
In addition to this activity, we observe sea turtle behavior in the sea, collect weather and beach profile data as well as raise awareness of sea turtle conservation among tourists and locals.
Depending on the funding and the field team we have additional activities each season. During last season 2016-17 we focused on reef survey of the small local reefs. In past we have also run environmental education projects for kids, surveyed birds and land tortoises, done mangrove restoration and made a small natural museum in the Lions village.
To support our field project we welcome volunteers and interns to join us each season. We also welcome visitors and donations to support our conservation efforts on this amazing Island.

First, a swift over view of the current situation.
I've never run out of power, but hoard it like a penny pinching miser. My lights are LED bulbs, I power up the laptop when I'm focused on writing, and recharge the phone while scouting Quartzsite, when ever possible.
I use my water pump to access the 60 gallons in my holding tanks when ever necessary, but usually keep it off. The propane frig uses a trickle. So really, I'm good with one 100 watt solar panel.
But what about box fans? The over head fans and stove top fan work great, but I seldom use them.
Two days ago, I called a highly recommended electrician. He came by my rig to figure out why my 7,000 watt generator would not provide any power to the outlets. He and his buddy both figured it would be a simple matter of hunting down some flipped switch, some malfunctioning breaker box.
After turning the entire camper in side out, we found there indeed was no transfer switch, no wiring at all, no junction box, to direct current from this high powered machine into the right places. Sure, it could run the air conditioners. But, while testing, as happened before, the beast coughed to a halt after running ten minutes.
So. Wow. Embarrassed, I said, the thing used to run. He checked the fuel pump and said, once I got that fixed, he'd return to install the proper access junction box. A very outstanding man, he charged me nothing for all this troubleshooting. He left and I restored my rig to order.
I called the recommended generator guy. So far no response. I shopped for additional solar panels. The quote was the price of an expensive Honda Generator, 2100 watts, and get this. Only included on solar panel-160 watts-mounted on the roof and wired into my existing house batteries. A regulator completed the package. I would keep my current pure sign inverter.
I told the solar guy no and left.
Here in Quartzsite you have a cash and carry economy. Bring cash, or plan on using a debit card at the bank or ATM machine.
I debate my options while I look forward to my new summer job in Idaho. Apparently its so early in the season, events are just cancelled willy-nilly.
You go with the flow, or go not at all.

Jenny Greenteeth Revisited
I'm kicking off my Jenny G production by committing to completion of the Jenny puppet, which has been partially sculpted and living under a plastic bag for about a decade (!). Time to finish her! I've decided to revisit the head sculpt also, making some light changes (ears!), so I poured some melted clay into my old mold and pulled a duplicate head to work on...
Building a better online portfolio...
When I built my first online portfolio through blogger years ago, I couldn't even post large pics directly, had to host my photos on Photobucket. Figured it was time for an upgrade so I built a new site through Weebly, very easy and user friendly. Go check it out and let me know what you think!

I feel like it has been FOREVER since I posted last, but for my posting habits (or lack thereof ) I am right about on schedule. This past week or so I have tried to make it a habit to take more pictures with my phone (droooiiiiiid). I've had it since before Christmas but never take pictures with it, even though it takes pretty nice nice ones! But since I found this app called Pudding Camera I have become pretty addicted. Obviously the app is free (pay for things?? that's funny), but it is the best one I've tried so far. I wish ALL of it was in English, but all of the important stuff is in English, so that's good enough for me. So here are some little tidbits from the past week!
first thing I saw waking up today, not bad (utah? idaho?)

text: Assassinations is a difficult game at the start, it is hard to go against all the OP diamond/iron guys, here are a few tips to survive . Height Advantage: Always try to get the height advantage on players, you can see more from higher places, as the players on the ground have building in front of them. Also when you see a player and you are ready to attack, you can always get a critical hit and do more damage, but be careful, you will loose a lot of damage when you jump off. Less damage when falling: When you are hit off a really tall building, for example on top of the shops, to reduce the damage taken hold shift, it could save your life. Try to find the easy route: If your are trying to find a certain area to get loot or to meet up with someone without dying, always try to find the safest. fastest and easiest route, you can do this by sticking to the roof tops, staying out of ANY PvP, and always keep a line of sight on your destination. Replenishing armour and weapons: If you have low durability on any of your weapons and armour, and you have loads of the same item in your inventory, you can easily add more durability and safe inventory space. You can easily do this by taking an item. e.g. A wooden sword Then take another wooden sword and put them both into the 2x2 crafting grid when you open up your inventory [E]. Use a good pair of headphones: Your normal speakers on your computer/laptop/Mac are fine for PvP, but using a good pair of headphones gives you a slight advantage over players. With the headphones you can hear sounds which normally you couldn't hear as good using normal speakers. For example, if you are around tight corners and you are scared a player would come around the corner and kill you, using headphones would help prevent that 50% of the time. As with the headphones you can hear players from further than usual, and you can hear their footsteps easier. Having a good gaming PC: Having a good gaming computer would help you a lot, since on most laptops, it tends to lag a bit every now and then, and that one lag spike could lead you to your death, having a good, beefy computer which could handle games such as minecraft without any lag would give you a advantage over players which lag a lot, because your game isn't, jerking around and you can hit/play smoothly. I hope this helped you guys. ~MinecraftPenguin21~ ps: Staff Members can you please lock this and delete ANY posts as this is only to read, thank you, also feel free to edit it and add tips of your own .

Magical Shabbat in Tzfat
Every year, the yeshiva I attend, Toras Moshe (Tomo), takes the first and second year students on a post-Succot 4 day trip (Tiyul) to the Galil. This year my wife and I joined in and we enjoyed a wonderful time in beautiful Northern Israel, with the Tiyul being ably led by Reb Avi Lowenstein, a Kollel member of Tomo. My wife, Iris, deserves extra credit for braving 4 days as the only female in the company of 50+ young men (and also for putting up with me).
We participated with the guys in activities such as a extremely difficult water hike at Zaki, a scary jeep tour up and down the mountains around Tzfat, and I (without Iris this time) joined them in a midnight hike through a forest trail from Tzfat to Amuka. And to finish the trip, Iris and I spent Sunday on our own experiencing the wonders of the Golan, such as the Banias waterfall, the city of Katzrin and the nearby Hula Valley, where millions of birds spend time in their migration to Africa from the chilling winters of Europe.
But the part of the trip that stands out in my mind was the uplifting Shabbat we all spent together. Each meal was accompanied by exuberant singing of Zemirot and a Torah thought by one or more of the young men. I had the privilege to speak at a Friday night oneg, in which I tried to impart some of the lessons of my 40+ years of experience beyond which the young men had already lived.
The highlight of Shabbat was the way that we greeted Shabbat at its beginning and said goodbye to it at its end. It reminded me that the Rambam taught that Kiddush at its start and Havdala and its conclusion are two parts of one the Mitzvah of honoring Shabbat. We began Shabbat with an outdoor Kabbalat Shabbat that we prayed on a promenade (Tayelet) overlooking Tzfat. Like the Kabbalists of old, we went out to greet the Shabbat queen, and as we sang and danced, we saw the sun slowly dip behind Mount Meron. The service was led by the mellifluous voice of Yaacov Spiro, and we all joined in with spirited chants of the chapters of Tehillim that comprise the davening, as well as with lively dances. (Iris had her own personal Ezrat Nashim on the summit above the Tayelet.)
When we sang Lecha Dodi, composed by Rabbi Shlom Alkabetz, a 16th century Tzfat Kabbalist, it took me back to the days of yore when it was typical of the holy people of Tzfat to celebrate the entrance of Shabbat that way every week. After davening, I mentioned to one of the young men that if the Kabbalists prayed every Friday night the way we had, it was no wonder they reached such lofty spiritual heights.
At the conclusion of Shabbat we stood entranced by the slow, moving rendition of Havdala by Aryeh Schwartz. It reminded us of that our souls had been uplifted by Shabbat, and that we would longingly look forward to the next Shabbat to come.
Too often, we just go through the motions of performing Mitzvot, especially the one of observing the Holy Shabbat. Every once in a while, we need to re-energize our souls to try to capture the essence of Shabbat. I know of no better way of doing that than to experience it with young men like the Tomo students who are striving to become better Jews with each Mitzva that they lovingly perform

Michael saw an ad in the paper for a circulation assistant at our local library. He encouraged me to apply so I went down to the library and picked up an application, filled it out, and dropped it off with a cover letter and copy of my resume. A few weeks later I was called in for an interview. I was pleasantly surprised since I had been having such bad luck in the past. So, I went in for my interview and I left feeling that the interview had gone well, but I was trying not to get my hopes up. A few days after my interview my phone rang and Michael hollered up the stairs that it was the library. He brought the phone up to me and I took the and was offered the job. I was ecstatic! One phone call had solved the greatest part of our worries…health insurance.
I started working at the library in May. The picture is from a display that I designed this month. Once I started my job I learned that my health insurance would not start for three months after my start date. So there would be two doctor's visits that we would have to pay for out of pocket. At that point we were looking on the bright side of not having to pay for the whole birth. We set up a payment plan with the doctor's office and hoped that we would not owe too much after the birth.
Another phone call was a life saver. The Wyoming Health office called to say that they had some extra grant money left over and they wanted to use it to help pay maternity bills for mothers who were uninsured. They were going to pay $500 towards the money that we owed for those first couple of visits. I was in Walmart when they called and I stated crying in the paper towel isle.
Those two things were miracles for us. I don't know how we would have finically survived without them. The gifts that we received from friends and family were miracle too. I thank God for those miracles everyday!

Their names may indicate that they just eat carpets but this is far from true. Carpet beetles can cause damage to a wide variety of materials of animal origin. When you see flying or crawling adult carpet beetles, it may indicate the presence of an infestation. You may also see damaged materials or sand-like larval droppings. This will confirm their activity.
Adult carpet beetles are quite small – only 5mm in length – and oval-shaped. Larvae are usually a reddish-brown colour and are covered with stiff bristles all over their bodies.

There have been very few details revealed so far about "Avatar 2" aside from its release date and casts. The sequel is set for release in 2020 and recent reports confirmed the addition of actor Cliff Curtis to the casts.
Film director James Cameron and 20th Century Fox has finally decided on a release date for "Avatar 2," which is going to be on Dec. 18, 2020. The rest of the sequels follow, with Part 3 on Dec. 17, 2021, Part 4 on Dec. 20, 2024, and then "Avatar 5" on Dec. 19, 2025.
According to Variety, Cameron had initially set the release for "Avatar 2" in December 2018. The next three films were then scheduled for 2020, 2022 and 2023, respectively. However, Fox never agreed on these schedules until the studios and Cameron finally decided on the 2020 release.
A confirmation on the release for "Avatar 2" and its sequels is posted on the film's official Facebook page. "Great to be working with the best team in the business! Avatar takes flight as we begin concurrent production on four sequels. The journey continues December 18, 2020, December 17, 2021, December 20, 2024, and December 19, 2025," read the post.
As for the casts of "Avatar 2," the original actors are expected to reprise their roles. These include Sam Worthington, who plays Jake Sully, Zoe Saldana as the blue-colored alien Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver as Grace and Stephen Lang who plays Colonel Miles Quaritch.
Recently, "Fear The Walking Dead" star Cliff Curtis was added to the casts. According to Collider, he has signed on for a lead role in all four films including "Avatar 2." He plays a character named Tonowari, the leader of the Metkayina reef people.
According to the publication, his addition aligns with the new plot in the film. Cameron has since revealed that "Avatar 2" will feature a new group from Pandora. The film will introduce who live underwater. It seems the Metkaniya clan play an important role in the movie.© 2019 Mstars News, All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.

There are many bridal shower centerpieces which are too easy and you can easily create some on your own. They are going to make sure that you celebrated the occasion without breaking a bank and you are going to be always happy. You can get the flowers from a nearby garden so that you may make the vintage vessels and you can learn how such flower can be arranged in the way that they will look nice.
You can set your flowers with candles to make a centerpiece. This project can be done easily without having to pay too much for it.  Small bowel of dessert can be used to make a statement together with large serving bowls.
You can use a wrapped vase centerpiece. You do not have to steal so that you can get the centerpiece. You may look for the large leaves such as hostas, large tree leaves and ferns and you can tie them so on the vases with the jute string. This can be the best way that you can hide the vase which may not be looking good.
To get the bridal shower centerpieces, you may also try etching the message in a vase. The message can be love, it can be the initials of the groom and the bride to be and this is going to add the personal touch.   Fresh and modern flower can be a centerpiece and it can work for any occasion. You may change a container so that you may get a rustic and modern look.  You can turn the ordinary cookware in adorable centerpiece. The baskets can be the best options for summer or spring bridal shower. You may also decide to cut and fold different shapes and to combine them so that you may make them to be cheerful with the right dimensional sphere. You can use the solid paper or patterned paper for a fresh and fun look.

Life Lately #11
So apologies in advance...most of this week has been pretty yawnsome and boring (and that's not even an understatement!) and consequently a lot of thinking / reflecting / pondering has been done and this is the outcome!
1. Tom Ford Bronzer - I have been using this a lot this week, mainly because I've been feeling so drab and lack-lustre (you know the feeling you get when your hair needs cutting, your eyebrows are a mess and you desperately need a tan, plus you're suffering the consequences of the eating enough food to feed a small village the weekend before - yeah, that!) now I'm not saying the Tom Ford Bronzer solves all of these 'problems' however there is just something so satisfying about pulling out this bronzer, swirling a huge brush into it and applying liberally all over the face! It's a great bronzer despite being slightly glittery and I've loved using it this week.
2. Trans-seasonal Cardigan - well, that's a mouthful isn't it?! The weather over the last week in the UK has been our first taste of 'Autumn' (having said that today has been gloriously sunny - UK weather is more confusing than a woman with PMT at the moment!). It's been quite chilly so this little cardigan I picked up in the sale at Hallhuber (in House of Fraser - link HERE) has been really useful, it's a great little shape (shortish with three quarter length sleeves) and made of really fine wool. It's great for throwing on over little tops or dresses for work. The brand, although pricey, has some great pieces for Autumn too - think an upper class Zara!
3. An Oldie - I walked into a trainer shop recently and they were playing this song that I instantly recognised as something I listened to when I was at Secondary School and it really took me back. I used Shazam to find out what it was because I couldn't remember (and if you don't have the Shazam app on your phone - hello? where have you been for the last couple of years?!) and it turns out it was Souls of Mischief - 93 'til Infinity As many of you will know, I like all types of music but this falls into the rap / hip hop genre and has such a great Summer chilled out vibe to it. I can't wait to the play this in the car!
4. Weather - I'm British. I talk about the Weather, it effects my mood. And what?! lol So as I've already mentioned (I did warn you that not a lot had happened this week!) the temperature this week has dropped quite considerably and during the week it did feel like winter to the point that I revived my old slipper boots from the Winter and snuggled under a blanket to watch TV. Have to say though, there is something so satisfying about this and I am quite excited now for Autumn Winter type clothes and the nights drawing in.
5. Return of the XFactor - I love the XFactor and I'm not ashamed to admit it. For me, it's yet another sign that Winter is on it's way (sorry!). I know a lot of people dislike this show and I do understand why, however I love a bit of trash TV and the fact that both Cheryl and Simon are back in it has made me more excited to watch it!
6. A Tipsy Train Journey - myself and my partner in crime, Sian, hopped on a train this weekend to visit another one of my friends for her Birthday (more about that coming up!) Whilst waiting for the train to arrive we did a little refreshment shopping at Marks & Spencers and came up with these delights! It was a really funny train ride and I don't think I've laughed so much for a long time! Those little cocktails in cans were actually very good too!
7. Birthday Celebrations - My friend Lian turned 30 this weekend and to celebrate we all went up to Gloucester for drinks and food. It was a great night and I also got to meet her gorgeous little baby, Sonny for a cuddle before we went out :) Happy Belated Birthday Lian! :) x
8. Getting Excited - so this week I'm officially getting excited for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas and New York. Las Vegas for a few days and a big Birthday celebration and then a week in New York. I'm starting to research good restaurants, bars, shopping and things to do (and buy!) so any recommendations are more than welcome, please pop in the comments box below! :)
And that's it folks! haul post is still on it's way soon, I promise!
Lis x

As the number of homeschoolers continues to increase, professionals who work with homeschoolers seeking higher education need to develop a plan to recruit, assess, and assimilate these particularly motivated, thoughtful, creative students. Combining her professional experience with insights gathered from surveys of US colleges and universities, author Lori Dunlap of TeachYourOwn.org provides the information you need to more fully understand this population, along with strategies and approaches for easily and effectively connecting with, engaging, and assessing these non-traditional students. Lori also helps homeschooling families discover what admissions professionals are looking for in their ideal applicant, better preparing them for the college application process and working with the admissions professionals at their chosen schools.
Available in print at Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and for Kindle and Nook. See below for international availability through Amazon! More help and insight can be found in our other books from the Perspectives In Gifted Homeschooling Series and More GHF Press Titles.

Most of you already know that Liz is a self-proclaimed animal-a-holic. She admitted as much in her Puppy Love post written almost exactly one year ago. In fact, she's been known to bring home a dog or two without asking her hubs! (Thankfully he's as much of a pooch lover as she is.) And since she wrote about adopting three dogs into her family (Layla, Lily and Oreo), she's added a fourth into the mix: Scotty. And he is darn cuuuuuute.
And Lisa, who said she'd NEVER get a dog while living in the Midwest because she didn't want to deal with things like: walking him or her in the Polar Vortex conditions, soggy fur and muddy paws, has now adopted not one but two puppies! (Lily and Chesney.) So between the two of us, we have SIX dogs. But six really cute dogs, if we do say so ourselves!
In honor of National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week, we're giving a shout out to all the amazing people who work so hard to help homeless animals find their fur-ever families and sharing some adorable photos of our four-legged family members. And we're also giving away a copy of Doghouse by L. A. Kornetsky. Just leave a comment (we'd love to hear about your adopted pets!) and you'll be entered to win! Contest closes on Thursday, November 6th at 10:00 a.m. PST.
We could never say enough good things about the people who do everything from fostering animals to caring for them while they are in shelters to working for the rescue organizations that place animals with their families. So we hope a THANK YOU will suffice. We know our dogs are incredibly grateful (as you'll see from the photos) as are the many other pets that have been placed with loving families.
Liz adopted Oreo from Pawville Pups. She got Scotty and Lily through the San Diego Humane Society. And Layla is from Stray and Orphaned Animal Rescue.
Lisa adopted her Lily from Save A Pet and got Chesney from Reach Rescue. Thank you to all of the wonderful people at these organizations!

PHS teacher wins Golden Apple award
Liz Moehr, Pulaski High School family and consumer science teacher, is a 2018 Greater Green Bay Chamber Golden Apple award winner.
Moehr was notified of the award during a surprise gathering Wednesday morning at her classroom. Dan Bredeson with Humana, one of the Golden Apple sponsors, walked into Moehr's classroom followed by crews from WLUK-TV and the chamber to record the moment.
Each year, the Golden Apple Awards program improves community awareness of the quality of education in the Greater Green Bay area by recognizing high standards of professionalism, leadership and innovation in teaching with the Golden Apple Awards. Seven recipients are selected annually through a multi-level screening of anonymous applications and personal interviews. Selection criteria are based on the National Board of Professional Teaching standards, which identify the essential knowledge, skills and dispositions expected of experienced, quality teachers.
Moehr has taught food classes at Pulaski High School since 2002. In addition to teaching, she is also advisor of ProStart, the National Restaurant Association's student organization. She holds a bachelor's degree in family and consumer science education K-12 from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and a master's degree in learning with an emphasis on technology integration from Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
She was previously a Northeast Wisconsin Golden Apple Teacher of Distinction recipient in 2010 and 2011.
She is a National Restaurant Association ProStart advisor; Fox Valley Technical College Culinary Arts Program Advisory Council member; Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Hospitality and Culinary Arts Program Advisory Council member; Family and Consumer Science Department leader; Technology Integration within Family and Consumer Science; and Experience Greater Green Bay co-chair.
She has received many awards including the Wisconsin Restaurant Association Educator of the Year; National Restaurant Association James H. Maynard Award; Wisconsin ProStart Educator of Excellence Award; FCCLA Ten Years of Service Award; Pulaski Area Community Education Community Service Award; and Sullivan University Hot 100 Hospitality Programs in the United States program recipient.
She lives in De Pere with her husband, Dan, and children, Caleb, 11, and Elia, 9.
"I feel incredibly honored and blessed to receive this Golden Apple," she said. "I still am speechless hours after I was graciously surrounded by award presenters, my administration, and my family."
Moehr is doing what she loves, she said, teaching students life skills they can use in their future careers, whether that be in the food service industry or any career that requires communication, literacy, and problem-solving skills.
"I am surrounded by phenomenal students who challenge me to challenge them and in the end, we all are better for it. Thank you to the Golden Apple selection committee, my administration, and my amazing fellow FACS teachers. I couldn't be more grateful," Moehr said.
Moehr is the 41st PCSD teacher to be recognized with a Golden Apple award since the program's inception in 1994.
This year, nearly 140 PCSD teachers received Golden Apple nominations. Of those, six were named Teachers of Distinction. Besides Moehr, they are:
• Daniel Anderson, Pulaski High School science teacher
• Corinne Galligan, Hillcrest/Fairview Elementary School music teacher
• Linda Gantz, Lannoye Elementary School third-grade teacher
• Craig Piczkowski, Fairview Elementary School fifth-grade teacher
• Jessica Rosenberg-Fredrickson, Sunnyside Elementary School art teacher
The 25th-annual Golden Apple awards ceremony is 5:30-9:30 p.m. April 18 at Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, 2040 Airport Drive, Green Bay. It will also be broadcast on WLUK.

Bird-B-Gone: Bird Control Tips
1 Aug, 2011 By: Rich Martin, Bird-B-Gone, Inc.
Just like general pest control, a proper and thorough evaluation of the property is key to a successful bird exclusion program. There are steps that need to be followed and considerations to be taken to determine the proper solution.
Assessing the customer's situation is one of the first steps to take. It's important to talk with customers and allow them to tell you what they perceive to be the problem. In a lot of cases, customers won't call you just because there is a bird on their building. However, they will call you if that bird is costing them money.
Customers don't call unless they have a specific reason to invest in bird control. In most cases, they buy bird control because of the negative effect on their image, the cost of cleanup, work stoppages, property or equipment damage, or possibly inventory damage. By listening to customers, you can determine their reason and then determine an appropriate cost for their situation. This will show value for the service that you will be proposing. Remember, always restate their reason for buying in your proposal.
When installing bird exclusion products, you will likely be changing the way that the building is going to look. Determine how important aesthetics are to your customer. This will help in choosing what products may or may not be used. During your initial visit, you should determine whether the customer has a budget in place for the project, and whether anyone else is providing a quote.

Washington Governor Inslee, First Wind and Avista Celebrate Milestone at Palouse Wind Project
Gov. Jay Inslee joins celebration that highlights project's 150,000 megawatt hours generated, clean energy for the Northwest
Boston, MA and Spokane, WA—July 8, 2013—First Wind, an independent U.S.-based renewable energy company, and Avista (NYSE: AVA) today commemorated the generation of 150,000 megawatt hours (MWh) by the Palouse Wind project since its start of commercial operations in December 2012. Since the Palouse Wind project went online, it has brought significant long-term tax revenue to Whitman County while generating enough clean energy to power the homes of about 30,000 Avista customers.
Gov. Jay Inslee joined industry and community leaders to celebrate the successful operation of First Wind's Palouse project and its 150,000th MWh of generating clean, renewable energy. They gathered today during a barbecue lunch at the project site in northern Whitman County, Washington.
"There is enormous potential to grow Washington's clean energy economy and developments like the Palouse Wind project are helping us do just that," said Gov. Inslee. "This project is not only creating good jobs and economic opportunity here in Eastern Washington, but it's also generating clean, emissions-free energy. As we work toward developing our clean and energy independent future, we're glad to welcome projects like this one to our state."
Washington State Department of Agriculture Director Don "Bud" Hover and Department of Commerce Director Brian Bonlender and Economic Development and Competiveness director Richard Locke were also on hand during the event today.
As the largest renewable energy facility in Whitman County, the 105 MW project features 58 state-of-the-art Vestas V100-1.8 MW turbines installed between the town of Oakesdale and State Route 195 on the hills surrounding Naff Ridge. During construction, the Palouse Wind project pumped more than $25 million of direct spending into the regional economy and created hundreds of construction-related jobs and drove significant revenue for local businesses. RMT, a clean energy construction company, built most of the project during 2012.
"Producing 150,000 MWh of clean, renewable wind energy at our Palouse Wind project represents a significant environmental and economic milestone for First Wind, the local community and our many project partners including Avista, Vestas, and RMT," said Paul Gaynor, CEO of First Wind. "We are proud to help contribute to the Washington clean energy goals through the successful energy production from the area's largest renewable energy facility. With the support of local leaders and people like Gov. Inslee, Washington state will see the development of new renewable projects in the years to come."
Avista is purchasing the energy produced by the Palouse Wind project under a 30-year power purchase agreement and is taking delivery of the power through a direct interconnection to Avista's 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line. This is the first wind project built in Avista's service territory and it is helping Avista achieve its goal of providing reliable energy to its customers at a reasonable cost, while helping meet Washington state renewable portfolio standards, now and into the future.
"Adding the energy produced by the Palouse Wind project to Avista's generation portfolio is in keeping with our company's 125-year legacy of clean, renewable power at a reasonable cost for our customers," said Scott Morris, chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Avista Corp. "Avista has always been purposeful in creating shared-value with our company, our customers and the communities we serve."
First Wind reported the following economic and environmental benefits associated with the production of the 150,000 MWh at the Palouse Wind project:
"We are glad to have worked with First Wind to build another successful clean-energy project in the Pacific Northwest," said Chris Brown, President of Vestas' U.S. sales and service division. "The Palouse wind power plant has performed well since it began operating with over 98 percent availability. It also has created long-term jobs for local Vestas technicians who perform maintenance on these turbines."
The project's construction in 2012 was overseen by the general contractor RMT. The equivalent of more than 200 people worked on the project over the course of a year.

It was a long room, furnished in devoted imitation of the Belle Epoque with crimson velvet and gilt-framed looking glasses. There were when I entered only three people in it, but if there had been thirty I daresay the woman sitting curled up on the sofa would still have been the first to attract my notice. Dressed in grey-green chiffon interwoven with silver, with some ornament also of silver shining in her auburn hair, she looked like a nymph in Ovid's Metamorphoses in the process of transformation into a fountain, and there was about her movements a corresponding fluidity and charm which would have seduced the eye from women with better claims to be thought beautiful. She was holding a glass of champagne, and the pleasant sound of her laughter reached me as I entered.
observations: Sarah Caudwell wrote only a handful of detective novels, but they are among the very best. This was the third, and there is the expected complex reporting procedure – though the young barristers at New Square (it is 1989) have discovered telex machines. As is usual, some of the group are hanging around on home territory (the Corkscrew winebar and Guido's restaurant) receiving information in various formats and in different time schemes. This time Cantrip has been lured to the Channel Islands with various beautiful women, and will end up on Sark and Little Sark. Complex financial dealings regarding tax avoidance, and the strange nature of trusts, will be explained just enough. Julia will be arrested on a beach at dawn in evening dress (with exuberant décolletage).
All the books have enormous joie de vivre, and a winning combination of old-fashioned clueing and plotting, and modern attitudes and young people. The lovely Julia becomes irate at one point because a pen has been dropped at the scene of the murder:
She had never read of such a thing – or at any rate not in any piece of respectable crime fiction published since the beginning of the Second World War…. If we must have a clue of a physical nature… then let it at least be one invisible to the naked eye and identifiable only by the most sophisticated techniques of modern pathology.--- but one of Caudwell's secrets is that she uses both, in the cleverest of ways.

Funky Barn 3D
There are certain video game publishers
that I love working with. Ubisoft is one of those companies. They come
up with so many wonderful games for families. They have a wide array of
games, and they work diligently to provide the best for a diverse range
of gamers. Funky Barn 3D is the latest Ubisoft game we are reviewing.
Funky Barn 3D can be a difficult game to classify. We have a farm that we build. It is more like restore an area to a farm. How the area is populated is up to us. Want mainly chickens? You can do that. Want more sheep and other animals? You can do that. What kind of trees do you want? Where should the fences go? You decide all of these things.
My biggest complaint against Funky Barn 3D is the farmer guide is not very patient. He tells me to go and purchase a fruit tree. Before I can complete that little goal, he is telling me something else like a chicken is scared - so go build a fence. At times I felt like telling Funky Barn 3D to make up its mind. What do you want? I can only do one thing at a time.
Things like the troughs go out of supplies very quickly. How can we fix that? Purchase more or upgrade the existing ones. These things need to be refilled all of the time. I spent most of my time in Funky Barn 3D filling those back up. Once in awhile I would deposit eggs in that machine for money or shear the sheep.
Be very careful with your money in Funky Barn 3D. It can be easy to over spend and it will take time to rebuild. Funky Barn 3D can be played for a few minutes or for hours. Family members can come back day after day improving their farms. Yes Funky Barn 3D may be impatient with us, but we can go at our own pace. Even if it is a snails pace.
Funky Barn 3D would be interesting enough with all of this going for it. But the developer Tantalus was not done. They brought us things that will try and destroy our farm and animals. At a quicker pace than the stork can bring us new ones. I love how Funky Barn 3D encourages us to build something up, and to provide resources for our communities. Farmers have a difficult job and they should be honored. I am honored that I was able to play and review Funky Barn 3D. Family Friendly Gaming was provided a retail version of Funky Barn 3D for this review.

Vicky left her role as a panellist after just nine months
Vicky Pattison has finally opened up about her exit from Loose Women and admits that she felt she struggled to fit in.
The former Geordie Shore star joined the show as a panellist last year – shortly after her victory in the I'm A Celebrity jungle – but left after just a few months, saying at the time that she was busy with other upcoming projects.
Vicky Pattison gets REAL about early impressions of boyfriend John Noble
Now Vicky has shed light on what really happened and thinks that it didn't quite work because she was much younger than many of the other panellists.
'I think I jumped ahead of myself last year and was trying to be too old for my age,' says Vicky, 29. 'Loose Women was a big jump for me.
'Going from Geordie Shore to Loose Women was a big gap. I was getting stressed, thinking, "Why can't I do this and have opinions on these things and fit in?".
'But it was probably because I was many years younger than some of the panellists.'
Vicky appeared on the show alongside various Loose Women ladies including Coleen Nolan, Sherrie Hewson, Linda Robson and Janet Street-Porter.
Now the Newcastle lass is focusing on a younger audience and is set to front a new MTV lifestyle show all about health, fitness and body image, something she seems to feel more suited to.
'It's taken a year of me taking my foot off the gas, having time to reflect, that I realise I took on too much, too soon,' Vicky tells the Daily Star's TV Life magazine. 'There's something in between I missed out and I'm keen to do the in-between bit now and not rush through anything.'
And whilst Vicky is reportedly going to take part in upcoming E4 show Celebrity Driving Test, she's not planning on doing any reality TV in the ilk of Geordie Shore any more.
'I'm still a reality TV fan and if the right project came long, I wouldn't say no,' she explains.
'But it'd have to be quite structured. You're not going to see me running around, slut-dropping and downing Jägerbombs again!'
That's a no to a GS reunion from Vicky, then.

Monday November 17, 2014 – During the first official Cradle to Cradle conference in Germany, in the presence of Cradle to Cradle founder Michael Braungart, Dopper officially announced the certification of Dopper Original. Consulting and engineering firm Tebodin has been an indispensable partner in the certification process. The Cradle to Cradle certification confirms that the Dopper Original is the first responsibly and sustainably produced water bottle, which also contributes to the welfare of people and the environment.
The core of the Cradle to Cradle principle is that at the end of the lifespan of one product, all materials it contains can be usefully deployed for the same or another product. No quality loss may occur, and all residual materials must be recyclable or environmentally neutral. The checks during the Cradle to Cradle certification process include the material (health and reusability), the use of renewable energy in the production process, responsible water use and the contribution to social justice. The Cradle to Cradle Product Standard also includes a continuous improvement programme, in which organizations develop an appropriate strategy for the future. Every two years, at recertification, the process is evaluated.
The Dopper Original has been Cradle to Cradle certified because:
- There are no toxic or prohibited substances (such as Bisphenol A) used in the bottle;
- The thermoplastics of which the bottle is made, are 100% recyclable;
- The Dopper is produced in a climate-neutral fashion, with responsible water and energy use;
- Old Doppers can be handed in at Dopper or at special plastics recycling points;
- The bottle makes a major contribution to reducing the global plastics problem;
- The Dopper Foundation contributes to drinking water projects worldwide.
Dopper wants to set an example for other entrepreneurs and inspire them to also create an impact. Founder Merijn Everaarts: "I believe that business with the goal of getting rich no longer suits the challenges of our world today. The focus in companies should be on sustainable and social solutions for products and services. The Cradle to Cradle certification of the Dopper Original fits in with our goal to contribute to a better world."
As part of its own social responsibility, Tebodin offered the Cradle to Cradle certification free of charge. Mariska van Dalen, senior consultant Sustainability at Tebodin: "Through the Cradle to Cradle product program, Dopper's entire production chain has been mapped out. Among other companies, Sabic, Styrolution and manufacturer VDL Wientjes have ensured that the materials and the production method could be assessed against the product standard."
About Dopper
Dopper wants to live in a world where people are aware of the environment, where we actively reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste, and where everyone, close to home and far away, has access to safe drinking water. The wide use of PET bottles worldwide causes a huge waste stream in the oceans, the so-called 'plastic soup'. With the reusable bottle design of high quality plastic and steel, Dopper contributes to the reduction of these environmental problems. Furthermore, Dopper encourages the use of tap water as a cheap and environmentally friendlier alternative to bottled water. Dopper is officially certified as 'B Corp' (Benefit Corporation) and now belongs to the global movement of do-gooders. In addition to that, the Dopper Original is now a Cradle to Cradle certified design.
The Dopper Foundation was founded in 2013 and – funded by 5% of the Dopper net sales revenue, sponsorship and donations – finances water and sanitation projects worldwide, including Nepal in collaboration with Simavi. Through its Dopper Water & Waste Academy, the Foundation also develops educational programs in countries where tap water is already a common resource.
About Tebodin
Tebodin BV is a multidisciplinary consulting and engineering firm, part of the international engineering and service company Bilfinger SE. The agency has a partnership with the Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Institute and is authorized to execute Cradle to Cradle product certification. Tebodin believes that with the Cradle to Cradle concept, there is no need to choose between economic and environmental progress.

Hello Seraphinite! I played your game yesterday and it was a lot of fun! I really liked how it was written, characters are realistic even if it is a game about spirits, and I enjoyed it a lot. You worked a lot for this game, we can see it, backgrounds are beautiful, and characters are gorgeous, the fact that there is a character customizer make me really happy, it's something I really appreciate (I use to play VNs without a character customizer and It makes me really frustrated ahah). The heroine is really interesting, there is a lot of decisions to make for a short game like this, it's great to be able to play a character who can reflet our personnality, who isn't just naive and "childish". Thanks for this game, I like it a lot, I'm going to start The Lady's Choice now ;)
(+ sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language :( But I felt like I needed to comment ahah)

Expanded broadband access crucial link between military personnel and families
We were excited to see that the Internet Innovation Alliance(IIA) recently made a public announcement calling for expanded broadband Internet access to help military families stay connected with loved ones. The three key topics IIA discussed are communications needs that Cisco has consistently supported.
1. Video communication for active military provides our troops the opportunity to interact with their families in real-time. "From my experience, it is essential to the mental health and morale of our troops to be able to see and speak with family and friends," said Afghanistan war veteran Rick Noriega, Colonel in the Texas Army National Guard and a former five-term member of the Texas House of Representatives from Houston. "I remember a priceless moment during my deployment to Afghanistan in 2005 when I was able to watch my son open his Christmas gifts over the Internet."2. Telehealth for veterans has served more than 200,000 veterans through its clinic-based program, and more than 50,000 patients are enrolled in the VA's Home Telehealth program, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Telehealth.
3. Online educational opportunities exist for the thousands of soldiers returning from Iraq at the end of the year as well as vets working on continued education after their military experience.
Connecting military veterans through telepresenceand other Internet technologies can provide real opportunities in health care, education and employment.

I am a Cisco employee and spouse of an active duty Marine. When my husband was deployed to Afghanistan last year we found out that there was a Cisco TelePresence unit on the base for people to use for communication with family. We never got to use it, but I was delighted to hear about Cisco's positive impact on families who are separated by deployments. Things like this make a huge difference in morale!

|roving wool
One beginners tip is using cookie cutters when you are first starting out to make easy shapes. So why not 3D print our own cookie cutters? Here's one of a cat face I found from Yeggi: It took about an hour to print actual size on our Ultimaker 2.
Before we get started, here are the needle felting tools you will need:
Needle Felting Kit (this one comes with roving wool too)
For more color options you can buy bulk roving wool and if you like going with a cute animal kit Hamanka has a ton!
Grab some wool and place it in the cookie cutter shape.
Special detailed features like eyes are just very small pieces either rolled into a ball or a thin string for the mouth. Place them where you want and MORE STAB! You can also buy little plastic eyes that you can glue in instead. Be careful of the needles themselves, I already snapped one. They don't have too much give if you start to bend it.
Just do a search on Pinterest for needle felting to see all the amazing things that you can do with needle felting. Not only does it incorporate 3D printing but you can enhance sewing or embroidery skills. And for the crazy cat ladies among us.... #lifegoals

Scholarship encourages entrepreneurial spirit
As the youngest member in a family of five, there was always an expectation that I would follow in my brother and sister's footsteps (who are both pharmacists). I did complete a science degree in my undergrad (psychology), but that led me to discover my passion for marketing.
As I was taking consumer behaviour-related classes, I realized how much I loved understanding how people think, what made people choose one product over another, and how a slight change in marketing positioning can have a huge impact on purchasing behaviours.
As a result, I chose to pursue my MBA specializing in marketing.
My family and friends were a bit skeptical at first (since it was a different career route from anyone in my family) but I knew that if I pursued what I love doing and worked hard at it, success would follow.
I chose to attend my MBA at Laurier because of the highly regarded co-op program, and also because of the great professors and student body that I heard about before entering the program. During my time at Laurier, I met some of my best friends. There was also a strong sense of camaraderie throughout the entire program, which makes me proud to be a Laurier graduate.
The highlight of my entire MBA program was receiving the Walter and Jean Hachborn Award of Distinction. This award provided me with the assurance that I chose the right career path, and that if I continued to follow my passion for marketing, success will follow.
I recently completed my MBA program and just started working as a marketing associate for Nestle Purina (which creates products that Home Hardware sells at its stores!)
In the next 5 years, I am aiming to be the Marketing Manager for a retail or consumer packaged goods company. In addition, I am working on an e-commerce store that I will be launching in the near future.
My experience at Laurier has really provided a lot of great opportunities that has allowed me to get to where I am today. For example, because of the co-op program, I was able to secure a marketing intern position at Nestle Waters, which then made it easier for me to get a position with Nestle Purina. During the program, I also utilized my marketing knowledge by helping several not-for-profits with marketing strategies to help increase their sales, which was a great experience.
I am extremely grateful and appreciative of this award that I received. I would like to thank Paul Straus and all of the dealers, staff members, and corporate staff members of Home Hardware Stores Limited for their generosity. I now feel like I am part of the Home Hardware family as well.
The Walter and Jean Hachborn Award of Distinction was established by dealers, staff members and corporate staff members of Home Hardware Stores Limited to recognize co-founder, Walter Hachborn, and his wife, Jean. The award is granted to a full-time student entering the Masters of Business Administration Program at Wilfrid Laurier University. The successful recipient must demonstrate business acumen, an entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic, combined with a proven interest in the field of retail or marketing. He must also demonstrate a sincere commitment to his community through active participation and/or community engagement.

It was a bit touch and go - with a bad cold and so little time left, I ditched my more ambitious plan of a whole new garment, and instead did some makeovers. I am quite tickled about it all really - because I have so many new gigs coming up, all having quite different and specific requirements for costuming, any shortcuts are welcomed with relief. I live for the day when I can start reusing some of these crazy get ups! :)
Here are some pics:
Mark took this portrait, I love it! So silly! The venue was decked out in heaps of amazing old circus props, and this lion was a favourite. I am wearing my Constance skirt, the little top hat, my red torselet with a velvet peplum added and embellished with lots of circusy blings, and a RTW jacket safety pinned back to make a tailed bolero with added blingy epaulettes. Oh, and a moustache. And really weird makeup.
I love my bling - it's Indian and looks old when it is new. Diamantes so soft you can cut through them with scissors. It made cutting all those strips much easier. The circles were on a continuous black strip and I got the very last metre of it. The epaulettes I made from fusing two layers of heavy vilene together then just gluing everything to them. They are safety pinned on. Thank goodness for safety pins!!
This photo of the Mighty Angus tickled my fancy. Angus is all of 14 and is such a showman - he did amazing equilibristic feats with such comic presence a real star in the making. And there I am on stage, smack dab in the middle of his gesture! It's like one of those trick techniques Weta used in the Hobbit movies!
As well as the circus performances we had bands, stalls, dancing and competitions. It was such a blast!
And in the evening, I had another role to play. Photos to come!

Happy Sunday!
