This is the app that Alicia Alvarez and I created together. It is meant to be used when, say when you are at a club or a bar and don't feel your phone vibrate or hear it ring, the app will automatically respond with a message that you have already designated.
If you are home it will respond with a text which the user has stored prior, and if you are away the app will recognize that you have departed from your home. It is very important to store your Home location first before you start out the night, as the app will not respond if you have not first stored your location.
Here is what the App looks like when you start it!
Note! The APK and ZIP files located here on my page is the alpha version which contained a flaw which was patched. In order to avoid not receiving credit on the project with a reupload, you can find the patched version here.

(Robert McLeroy/ Express-News)
Ken Hughes might not be a bird watcher, but he has had a lot of success with Mockingbird Station in Dallas.
Developers in San Antonio are "too damn good" and that's why Ken Hughes, a principal at Dallas-based Hughes Development LP, hasn't ventured down to San Antonio to do work.
Or maybe he's just kept his hands full with successful projects such as Mockingbird Station in Dallas.
Hughes did make it to San Antonio on Wednesday for a lunch with the Urban Land Institute to talk about his experiences with transforming Mockingbird Station from an old industrial building — "it was not a pretty sight at all," Hughes said — into a vibrant, mixed-use project that has been a example of urban redevelopment.
One of the main focal points of Mockingbird — besides the 211 loft apartments, 180,000 square feet of retail and 140,000 square feet of office space — is that it sits on the DART rail line.
Hughes said the public sector must invest heavily in a transportation system that people will want to use, one that's safe, fast and reliable. If the public does that, it will be easier for the private sector to develop a succesful project.
And although urban centers should utilize public transportation, they shouldn't be reliant on it and should still incorporate cars. Because in Texas, it would be hard to convince people to use only trains, Hughes said.

Although you didn't list me specifically, I also reviewed the document. I think the document is worth publishing soon, but I would request two specific changes: 1) In the introduction, please make it more clear that HTML5 itself is not final, and that some of the differences listed in this document may be subject to change and some may currently exist solely due to particular issue areas not having been addressed yet. Also, further changes may be added in the future. 2) Possibly mention some of the controversial changes currently under review. Possible things to list here: de facto semantic definitions for some formerly presentational elements; details of accessibility / media-independence features; style attribute; repetition model. I specifically disagree with those who think the most controversial issues must all be resolved before publishing anything. Publishing the differences document will expose knowledge of these changes to a wider audience and possible bring more useful input into the conversation.

The people I worked with were fantastic. All were very friendly, welcoming and supportive. I got great exposure on the cases, was given considerable responsibility and was able to make a real contribution to the team and the final pack that was presented to the client. Feedback was great. Training was great. Culture was great.
Nothing really comes to mind, I couldn't have asked for more as an intern.
Do as much as you can to get to know the people you're working with, ask lots of questions and look at everything as an opportunity to learn.
Some interns got more exposure to cases/substantive work than others. Would be good if the allocation was a bit more evenly spread

4.6 of 5 stars
Great workplace with a very welcoming attitude. Amazing on the job training and support. You were not treated like an intern so got a real insight into the industry.
At times, due to the season that the internship was being conducted there was not an immense amount of work so could be left with little to do.
Ask as many questions as you have, everyone is very helpful and will happily help you out. It is better to ask a question and get help/learn then spend a while struggling. Also get to know everyone in the office and solicialise!
Potentially find tasks/jobs for interns to do if it is very quiet. Also don't be afraid to tell interns to stay late- make the internship the same as full time work- with the same hours and expectations.
4.3 of 5 stars
The friendly office culture, the training and exposure to how management consulting operates and the remuneration.
The hours combined with the periods of time in the middle of the day spent waiting for work to be given to me. Means that you spend a lot of hours at work but the sum total of work you complete could probably be completed significantly faster.
You have to be prepared to work hard, however that is the case with most management consulting or finance industry roles. However, the company provides great training and mentoring and the office culture is very friendly, so it makes it an enjoyable place to work.
Hours is a common complaint in management consulting. Specifically for interns having things to keep them occupied during quiet times, particularly as they are probably hav eless flexibility than actual consultants.
4.4 of 5 stars
After training you're put straight into the thick of things either being put on a new case or being inserted into an existing case team. You're given responsibility for work straight away with support around you to help when needed.
Not so much a reflection of the program itself, but in general as an intern you don't feel as engaged in the organisation because you know it is only for a short period of time.
You really need to get to know the people. The work is going to be similar elsewhere but the people are quite different
4.2 of 5 stars
Training, work culture, exposure to real work.
The work allocation was a bit hit and miss in terms of getting access to a variety of work in the short time we were interning.
L.E.K. has a true work hard, play hard culture so if you enjoy that, then L.E.K. is a place you will thrive. The majority of engagements at L.E.K. are very strategy or due dilligence oriented, with performance improvement being just a small part of what the firm does (but that is definitely changing). L.E.K. historically takes on many shorter term engagements of 3-6 weeks so you're likely to be on quite a few different cases in your first year. At junior levels, the work tends to be quite research-oriented, with Associates generally being responsible for conducting market research, phone interviewing and gathering data. Client interaction at Associate level tends to be minimal although client secondments come up from time to time. The majority of the work will be office-based which is a bonus for those who prefer not to travel everyday.Some of the highlights of L.E.K. include its structured training curriculum, the availability of international "swaps" (working in another L.E.K. office abroad for six months) and its sponsoring of top-tier MBA programs. The promise of a fully paid MBA at the likes of Harvard is probably one of the biggest drawcards to the firm that allows potential candidates to easily look past its relatively low profile brand. Socially, the firm holds a number of social functions throughout the year and the teams tend to be very cohesive, a byproduct of working mostly from the office rather than from client sites. As is common in Consulting, you can expect to work long but not meaningless hours. L.E.K. emphasises not letting your work leak into your personal life and thus discourages you from working after hours from home or on weekends. I would say the kind of exposure and training you receive will be almost on par with what you would see at a McKinsey, Bain or BCG albeit with shorter engagements and often smaller clients.All in all, I'd recommend L.E.K. as a great place to launch your career.

Variety of projects (worked on 5 different projects in 2 months), opportunity to work with and learn from very talented colleagues
Be honest with yourself - look beyond the glitz and glamour of the industry and consider whether or not you truly want the lifestyle, are the projects truly what you are passionate about, is the culture collaborative or competitive, are you going to have good growth opportunities and are people willing to teach / mentor
4.0 of 5 stars
High degree of case exposure and great learning experience. Fantastic culture and great to be embraced as part of the team, rather than just "the interns". I definitely appreciated the longer length of the internship compared to other firms, as it allowed time to settle in and apply what was learnt in the first few weeks
Sometimes I didn't have enough to do - although I think this was a reflection of the business environment at the time and not the firm itself
Don't be put off by the smaller size of the firm or the fact that it is less well known - its size is actually a huge advantage as it means more responsibility and more interesting work to do. The firm is also highly regarded even though it is less well known that some of the bigger firms.
- good work hours (relative to comparable firms). Management actively promoted keeping healthy work hours, and there were plenty of social events organised. The only late nights were in the build-up to an important deadline. - a friendly and close-knit office culture. From Associates to Partners, the people in the Melbourne office went out of their way to make me feel welcome. - Good training at the start of the internship. The first week was spent on skills-development. - Being part of a case-team was a good way to learn the ropes quickly. I was surprised by how much I'd learnt in two months about business strategy and the lifecycle of a case. - Whether your background is in Engineering, Arts, Commerce, Science, etc. you'll be brought up to the same skill-level and standard pretty quickly. I was nice to know that I doesn't really matter what your academic background is (just be willing to learn quickly!)
- After the first week, there was much less time spent on development and training. The degree of training and personal development largely depends on the Consultant that you are partnered with (though I was lucky in this respect). - Depending on the cases the firm is dealing with at the time, a Summer Associate might be working on one case for the duration of their internship, or on many small cases. Accordingly, the 'sample' of clients, industries and type of work a Summer Associate is exposed to is difficult to predict, and is subject to whatever is 'on the firm's plate' at the time. Having said this, skills are largely transferable across cases, and the types of skills an intern will acquire would be largely the same whether they worked on one big case, or many small ones.
As I noted above, you can take it for certain that the office environment will be friendly - definitely not isolating or overly-competitive. So, if considering this role, First, really ask yourself, 'am I prepared to commit to this program?' The internship is a lot of (rewarding) work, but if you have your doubts the two months might seem very long. The role requires a lot of time spent on excel conducting quantitative analyses or compiling data - again, ask yourself if this is something you are prepared to do (while you do receive training on strategy, long hours working with a spreadsheet is a fact of the job). The organisation seems to value academic rigour, innovation, creative problem-solving, and thoroughness: it is not an organisation for cowboys. A love of learning and thoughtful analysis is just as important as a love of business.
3.5 of 5 stars
the people were very open and accepting. even though there were only two interns in the office, they included us in all social events including christmas festivities and informally organised weekend getaways.
the absence of interaction with the clients
very fun organisation to be a part of. good work life balance - working hours were 9-7.
3.7 of 5 stars
The first year associates and other talented people that took the time to get to know me and help me out.
The variability of the hours but that is inevitable in the industry and, as best it could be, it was managed by team leaders reasonably well.
It is a good firm with very intelligent people who do take a genuine interest in your development, even when projects get busy.

Check out this classic paragraph from Richard Sandomir in today's Times. It concerns Rupert Murdoch buying YES, and the potential impact it could have on the network's pro-Yankee slant.Fox will, of course, bring some of its programming to YES. That was one reason to make the deal. It needs a New York outpost, especially as it starts a national sports network that is, for now, called Fox Sports 1. But tinker with the propaganda? Never. Wait a minute. I hadn't thought of this: Fox buying the Yankee network, and suddenly forcing it to change its ways and become a completely unbiased news source. Wow. Hold on for a second. I gotta wrap my head around this for a while. I need to put my head in an ice bucket.OK, I'm better now. Fox buying YES, and forcing the channel to become unbiased. Hey, mathematically, it could happen. Put two negatives together, and you get a positive. Add Fox's bias to YES's bias, and theoretically, you would create two rapidly spinning particles that could repel each

WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators on Friday closed a small bank in Minnesota and one in Missouri, increasing to 76 the number of U.S. bank failures this year.
The number of closures has fallen sharply this year as banks have worked their way through the bad debt accumulated in the recession. By this time last year, regulators had shuttered 129 banks.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. seized Riverbank, based in Wyoming, Minn., with $417.4 million in assets and $379.3 million in deposits; and Sun Security Bank of Ellington, Mo., with $355.9 million in assets and $290.4 million in deposits.
Central Bank, based in Stillwater, Minn., agreed to assume the assets and deposits of Riverbank. Great Southern Bank, based in Springfield, Mo., is assuming the assets and deposits of Sun Security Bank.
In addition, the FDIC and Central Bank agreed to share losses on $339.3 million of Riverbank's loans and other assets. The agency and Great Southern Bank agreed to share losses on $351.9 million of Sun Security Bank's assets.
The failure of Riverbank is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $71.4 million; that of Security Bank is expected to cost $118.3 million.
In all of 2010, regulators seized 157 banks, the most in any year since the savings and loan crisis two decades ago. Those failures cost around $21 billion. The FDIC has said 2010 likely was the high-water mark for bank failures from the Great Recession.
In 2009, there were 140 bank failures that cost the insurance fund about $36 billion, a higher price tag than in 2010 because the banks involved were bigger on average. Twenty-five banks failed in 2008, the year the financial crisis struck with force; only three were closed in 2007.
From 2008 through 2010, bank failures cost the fund $76.8 billion. The deposit insurance fund fell into the red in 2009. With failures slowing, the FDIC's fund balance turned positive in the second quarter of this year; it stood at $3.9 billion as of June 30.
Depositors' money — insured up to $250,000 per account — is not at risk, with the FDIC backed by the government. That insurance cap was made permanent in the financial overhaul law enacted in July 2010.

Been there done that, tasted a whole lot of wine.
The Atlantic Wine Symposium 2017 runs from Sunday June 11-13 at the Westin Nova Scotian in Halifax, It includes wine tastings winery tours, updates on the state of the wine industry in Atlantic Canada and workshops on new trends and wine making.
I had a foretaste of what was in store during my two day stay at the beautiful Blomidon Inn in Wolfville when I managed seven winery visits with my husband Colin,who is my photographer and designated driver. For the record the 2016 vintage wines are sensational.
Since my last visit four years ago, there have been major changes. All the wineries are expanding their number of fields under cultivation and their winery facilities. While their popular hybrids like L'Acadie, Muscat, Ortega, Luci Kuhlmann, and others continue to be the backbone of the industry, more European vinifera are also being planted. Most wineries have set aside an acre or two for experimentation with new vines.
Nova Scotia's short growing season and the acidic soils of post glacial tilth and sandy clay loam have also proven to be ideal for the production of traditional method and charmat sparkling wine. All of the wineries, I visited have one or more sparkling wines in their portfolio.

China Military Holds Exercises in the South China Sea Ahead of Hague Decision
SOUTH CHINA SEA – China will hold seven-day military drills around disputed islands starting Tuesday, the maritime safety administration announced Sunday, ahead of an arbitration court ruling on its sweeping claims to the South China Sea.
China is boycotting the case before The Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration in which the Philippines is challenging the validity of the nine-dash line that China uses to demarcate its claims to most of the South China Sea.
The court has said it will make a ruling on July 12.
China regularly holds military exercises in the South China Sea. The Maritime Safety Administration said the latest ones would be held from Tuesday to July 11. It gave coordinates that run from the east of China's Hainan Island and encompass the Paracel Islands, and said entering the area was prohibited.
The Paracel island chain is controlled by Beijing but also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan.
Tensions have been rising in the South China Sea over China's claims to the waters and island chains that are disputed by other Asian countries. – Associated Press

Over the past few weeks, Apple has reportedly been pitching the idea of a $30/month subscription service for TV shows on iTunes. The rumored subscription service wouldn't be tied to a particular type of hardware, and would be accessible to anyone with an iTunes account. Apple, however, encountered some resistance as many content providers were understandably wary of striking a deal with Apple after seeing how much power they were able to exert over the music industry with their iPod/iTunes combo.
Moreover, despite the fact that network executives were reportedly "intrigued" with the idea, there are a number of other considerations that factor into the equation, such as how a deal with Apple would affect existing relationships between content providers and cable companies like Comcast.
But now the Wall Street Journal is reporting that both Disney and CBS are giving some serious thought towards striking a deal with Apple. Now before you yawn away at the thought of paying $30/month for 2 channels, keep in mind that Disney owns ABC and everything that comes along with that, like ESPN. But still, $30 is on the low end of what some people pay for the most basic of cable packages, and if Apple truly wants to set up a viable subscription service, it'll need to get an attractive portfolio of content providers on board. But content providers aren't exactly jumping at the chance to get into bed with Apple.
Apple faces an uphill battle assembling a critical mass of TV networks to sign up, a factor that could delay or scuttle a launch. A broad swath of media companies—including News Corp., Viacom Inc., Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting and Discovery Communications Inc.—appear to be opposed to or leaning away from signing on, at least to Apple's initial proposals, according to people familiar with the matter. It is unclear if NBC Universal, in which Comcast is buying a controlling stake, is interested.
So in order to raise the stakes, Apple is reportedly willing to offer content providers anywhere from $1 to $2 a month per subscriber for broadcast network shows, and $2-$4 a month for shows on basic cable, monetary amounts with the WSJ points out are much higher than what "media companies typically receive from [traditional] distributors." By way of comparison, News Corp. (which owns Fox News and a number of regional sports affiliates) is currently in the middle of a highly publicized battle with Time Warner over customer subscription fees. News Corp. is demanding $1 a month for each Time Warner cable subscriber, a figure which TW says is too high.
Apple is notoriously stingy with its money, so why would it be willing to pay double the going rate for content, and for a subscription service no less? Well, as is always the case with Apple, they make their money via hardware and position software primarily as a means to generate more hardware sales. That being the case, Apple, as opposed to Time Warner, isn't solely concerned with turning a profit with content alone.
Interestingly, Apple's sudden interest in expanding iTunes into the realm of subscription services may have less to do with TV in the living room, and more with providing a new way to view media content on its upcoming and rumored tablet device.
Indeed, the WSJ notes that Apple is positioning its tablet as a multimedia gadget, and having access to a wide variety of TV content from anywhere might be a key selling point for the device, which is expected to launch in March, 2010. Remember, Apple's tablet will reportedly include built-in 3G connectivity, so accessing and streaming content from anywhere would theoretically be a straight forward process and make an iTunes subscription that much more appealing.
As it stands now, users can access TV content for free via sites like Hulu, but with Hulu's selection of content always being shuffled around, not to mention reports that the service may well be moving into a paid-model sometime in 2010, a TV subscription service via iTunes for $30/month may very well be an ideal solution for seamlessly accessing media content on the go.
There is, of course, also the possibility that this is a play for control of the living room and an attempt to transform the Apple TV into more than just a hobby, but it seems improbable that Apple would be willing to take on cable companies head on at this point in time. And besides, what would be the point? Apple would essentially be paying a premium for content with no real way to recoup its investment. So while the Apple TV may benefit tangentially from a TV subscription service via iTunes, all signs are pointing towards tablet streaming instead.

There are 3 reviews of Cobra for Him Version Inťdite.
If you dislike Le Male because that clashing "toothpaste" note, this is for you.
An opening blast of lavender, orange blossom and cinnamon, just like Le Male, but thankfully, without the clashing mint note that ruins it for me. The heart is almost identical with the spiciness of ginger/rosemary/coriander in Cobra replacing by cardamom/caraway in LM, but the difference is practically nil. The drydown is dominated by vanilla and tonka bean on both.
What I miss from Cobra is the bitter artemisia note, that cuts the otherwise extreme sweetness in LM, in Cobra it is replaced by angelica (a lot sweeter) unfortunately that renders this perfume maybe cloying for some.
The downside of Cobra is its longevity, it doesn't hold a candle to the monstrous longevity of LM, but then again, at one sixth of the price of LM, you can apply it four times during the day and still come ahead.
If you like Perry Ellis 360 White, you may like this, although I like 360 White over Cobra.
An excellent value for the money
Pros: Well blended,smooth and very pleasant
Cons: Longevity

NORTH STONINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — Believe it or not, some people are excited about the frigid temperatures outside today. News 8's Tina Detelj says that it is a great day to go ice fishing.
If you think you are cold, try being out on the ice. Ice fisherman George Tazzini would not have it any other way.
"That one's in about twenty feet of water," he said.
The serenity of this North Stonington pond is broken up only by the sound of an auger cutting through the thick ice.
Tazzini first drilled a test hole near the shore.
"I mean, I had ten inches of ice there and it will typically defrost closer to shore quick… sooner," he said.
Despite the thaw last weekend, Long Pond still has more than enough ice to keep this fisherman above water.
"And he'll go down and find you dinner," he said.
It did not take long for the fish to start biting.
"It's a good way to start the day," he said.
On most days and many nights this is where you may find George Tazzini catching his first Walleye and enjoying the tranquil experience of ice fishing. The season ends on Friday.
"Which is unfortunate, because we have such good ice now," he said.
Believe it or not, this is how he keeps warm. It is called jigging and yes he would like to do this for as long as the ice will allow.

Basic Questions
What are the suggested ages for The Gospel Project for Kids?
The Gospel Project for Kids provides content for birth through elementary age kids. The material is designed around two main age groups, with each having two subgroups.
- Preschool
- Babies and Toddlers
- Preschoolers
- Kids
- Younger Kids (roughly 1-3 grades)
- Older Kids (roughly 4-6 grades)
We recommend including kindergarteners with preschool based on reading skills.
Can I begin The Gospel Project for Kids at anytime?
Yes! You can jump in right where we are by purchasing the current volume of ongoing materials, which come with suggested use dates for each session. Jumping in where we are not only aligns you with thousands of other kids ministries each week, but it also enables you to take advantage of some cost-savings benefits and online weekly training helps.
Your other option is to start from the beginning by purchasing Volume 1: The Story Begins of the short-term materials. These are the exact same materials as the ongoing version, only there are no suggested use dates for the sessions.
How long is the study?
Each cycle of The Gospel Project for Kids is three years long and consists of 12 volumes. Each volume is 13 sessions long (occasionally there is a 14-session volume when there are 14 Sundays in a quarter). The first cycle of material began in September 2012 and ended in August 2015. The current cycle began in September 2015 and runs through August 2018. The current plans are for a brand new cycle to begin in September 2018.
Each cycle's scope and sequence begins in Genesis and tells the big story of the Bible over three years. While many of the Bible stories are the same from cycle to cycle, many of the stories are different and the material in each session is always brand new (e.g. new videos, new activities, new Activity Pages).
Are materials from the first cycle (2012-2015) compatible with the current cycle (2015-2018)?
No, they are not. Because of a different scope and sequence, each session is completely new with new activities, videos, music, and Activity Pages, so the first cycle's materials will not work with the current cycle.
Do the kids sessions align with the student and adult sessions?
Yes, with slight deviations around Christmas and Easter to allow for extra Christmas and Easter sessions in the kids materials. You can see how the three age groups align on this All Ages Chronological Study Plan.
What will the kids learn during the three years?
Kids will learn the big story of the Bible—how the Bible all points to Jesus and God's plan to provided forgiveness through Him.
- Here are the big truths that preschoolers will learn.
- Here are the big truths that kids will learn.
(Note that as the content is being written, the big truths listed on those documents may change.)
Purchasing Content
Do the materials come in digital form, or just printed form?
Both! The printed form provides physical Leader Kits, Leader Guides, Activity Pages, Big Picture Cards, and posters. Begin by selecting one Leader Kit per age group (Preschool and Kids) and then purchase additional Leader Guides, Activity Pages, and Big Picture Cards as needed.
The digital version includes bundles with everything needed for a quarter in digital format, including Leader Guides, Activity Pages, Big Picture Cards, videos, music, and posters. The materials are provided through an online program called My Curriculum Manager and you are able to print as many copies of the items as you need. Pricing is based on your average weekly ministry attendance.
Is an extra hour of worship material available?
Yes! The Bible study portion of the materials provides roughly one hour of content. You can purchase an additional hour of worship content by selecting the "with worship" Kits or Digital Bundles. This second hour is designed to reinforce what was learned in the first hour and can be used for kids worship, mid-week activities, or for longer Bible study periods.
Do I need to purchase anything else to help kids understand the big story of Scripture?
We recommend that you purchase a Giant Timeline Bonus Pack. This timeline is over 30' long and will help your kids track where each session fits into the big story. A circular version is also included in this pack. You might want to consider purchasing Small Group Timelines for individual classes and Bible Book Posters as well to aid in learning.
Each of these three poster packs are also available in digital formats (Giant Timeline Bonus Pack, Small Group Timelines, Bible Book Posters). The digital format allows you to scale the size of the posters and you can print as many copies as you desire. The Big Story Circle is available in digital format by itself as well.
What major decisions do I need to make before I order?
Your biggest decision is whether to jump in where we are and purchase dated material indicated by season (e.g. Fall 2015) or start from the beginning with undated material indicated by volume number and title (e.g. Volume 1: The Story Begins). Either way you choose, you basically have three major decisions to make after that:
- Do you want material for preschool, kids, or both age groups?
- Do you want the Bible study content only, or the second hour of worship content as well?
- Do you want printed or digital materials? (If you choose digital, you have one additional decision of purchasing one volume at a time, or ordering an annual bundle if you are jumping in where we are.)
This ordering guide decision tree can help guide you to purchase the right content.
How do I purchase the material?
To purchase through church ordering.
To purchase printed ongoing items.
To purchase printed short-term items.
To purchase digital items.
To place an order by phone, call 1.800.458.2772.
Beginning Your Journey
Are there any tools available to help me train my leaders as we get started?
Yes! Five preschool and kids training videos are available to help you train your leaders on:
- The Gospel Project's vision
- A preschool session
- A preschool worship session
- A kids session
- A kids worship session
In addition, a video for parents explaining the vision of The Gospel Project and the resources provided for them is also available as well as some recommendations for holding a parents meeting. We also provide coaching videos on various topics related to ordering, understanding, and using the materials.
Are there any ongoing training tools available for my teachers and leaders?
Yes! In addition to the Leader Bible Studies in each session of the Leader Guides, leader videos and blog posts are available for each session on Ministry Grid and The Gospel Project website. If you are using the short-term (undated) version of The Gospel Project for Kids, you can access training videos from the beginning. Leaders can also visit The Gospel Project for Kids Facebook page and the resources page on this website for additional helpful leader resources.

Print Products
Where are the printable items mentioned in the side margins in some activities?
These items called printables are found on the enhanced CD that comes in the Leader Kit.
What is an Activity Pack? Is that different from the Activity Pages?
The Activity Pack is a set of Activity Pages and Big Picture Cards bundled together at a lower cost. If you purchase an Activity Pack, you do not need to purchase Activity Pages and Big Picture Cards as well. Activity Packs are only available for ongoing (dated) materials.
Is there an answer key for the Activity Pages?
Yes! The answer key is located on the enhanced CD.
What is on the enhanced CD?
The enhanced CD contains audio versions of the music, printable items, and posters. Basically, if you need to print an item, this is the disc where you will find it. The enhanced CD comes in the Leader Kit.
What is on the DVD?
The playable DVD contains all of the videos needed for each session. The DVD comes in the Leader Kit.
What is on the presentation disc?
The presentation disc contains all of the videos on the DVD in .mov and .mp4 format for building a custom media presentation. This disc also contains .jpg versions of the posters for inserting into a media presentation. Basically, this is the disc where you will find all you need for a media presentation. The presentation disc comes in the Leader Kit.

Digital Products

What is an Annual Bundle?
You can purchase four volumes of content at once, starting with the current volume, by purchasing an Annual Bundle. Annual Bundles are only available for the current volume—they are not available for previous volumes.
When you purchase an Annual Bundle, you will have immediate access to the current volume of material, then the new volumes will be added to your My Curriculum Manager account as they are released. Annual Bundles provide a 5% savings (reflected in their prices) and also save you from having to order each quarter.
Are there any resources available to help me set-up my account in My Curriculum Manager?

How do I email content to my leaders?

Where are the .jpg files?
The .jpg files are located in the Session Portfolio, the green button that is labeled "Right-click to Download All Session #" before Fall 2016 and are in a zip folder from Fall 2016 forward. You can learn more at this blog post which includes a visual of the portfolio button or this coaching video.
Where are the Activity Pages?
The Activity Pages are located at the end of each Leader Guide PDF. Posters and necessary printables are also located on the Leader Guide PDFs before Fall 2016. Starting in Fall 2016, these pages are in a separate file to make printing easier. The Activity Page answer key is located in the Session Portfolio.
Can I change the dates of a session, rearrange the session order, or skip sessions?
Presently, you cannot adjust the session order, but we are aware of how helpful that would be and are working with the programming team to make that possible. However, you can manipulate the sessions when needed (such as when you have Christmas and Easter content at other times of the year) by changing the start date of the volume.
Suppose you began a volume on January 1 with the following schedule, but you wanted to skip Session 2.
- January 1 — Session 1
- January 8 – Session 2
- January 15 – Session 3
You can do this by adjusting the start date one week earlier on January 2 to from January 1 to December 25. This means you would have taught Session 1 as normal, but now the calendar assumes you taught Session 1 on December 25 and you just taught Session 2 on January 1 (which you didn't). The calendar would now schedule Session 3 for January 8 and so forth. This coaching video shows how to change the start date.
Why are some of the letters missing when I print items?
Some printers have trouble processing the fonts used in some of our products. You can learn how to configure Adobe to print correctly at this blog post.
What platforms for the apps are available?
The apps are available for ios and Android and are available at the app store of your choice.
What is the Lite App?
The Lite App is a free version of the app that includes activities to help preschoolers and kids learn the key passage and review the Bible stories. The full Family version includes more activities, the Bible story videos, and music.
Do I need to purchase or install content for each new volume?
Yes. Once you install the basic The Gospel Project for Kids App, you will have the option to install or purchase individual volumes of content.

Most agents of the Hydra-Headed Tyranny Known as The Beast have a vested interest in exaggerating and prolonging the problems we pay them to solve.
Not Plod. Plod is different. Since 98% of crime is provoked by the presence of a police officer in the first place, Plod doesn't have to do anything very much except turn up, swirl his truncheon around manfully and perhaps bend at the knees a few times.
Thought for the day - Truncheon Meat.

Anandiben Patel takes oath as Gujarat Chief Minister
Anandiben Patel was on Thursday sworn in as Gujarat's new chief minister, a day after Narendra Modi resigned to become India's prime minister.
Gandhinagar: Anandiben Patel was Thursday sworn in as Gujarat's new chief minister, a day after Narendra Modi resigned to become India's prime minister.
Anandiben Patel took oath as Chief Minister on Thursday
Senior BJP leaders including party president Rajnath Singh, L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Arun Jaitley were present at the ceremony held at Mahatma Mandir convention centre here.
Patel, 73, was Wednesday unanimously elected leader of the BJP Legislature Party, paving the way for her to succeed her mentor and become the state's first woman chief minister.
Modi quit as chief minister after leading the Bharatiya Janata Party to a stunning victory in general elections. He is to be sworn in as India's next prime minister Monday.
Patel held the key portfolios of urban development, revenue and disaster management in the outgoing ministry and was earlier in charge of education ministry, driving successfully some of the key Modi projects, including boosting of female literacy.
Known for her no-nonsense image, she is the longest serving BJP minister who joined the party in late 80s and rose steadily through the ranks.

Sven - We Were Part Of A Football Party
Sven-Goran Eriksson described yesterdays 2-1 loss to Real Madrid as a football party for everyone in attendance.
As hoped, Jose Mourinho certainly didn't rest his big name players and Foxes fans were in for a treat.
A photo gallery of the day is available by Clicking Here.
Speaking to lcfc.com the manager said.
'I thought it was like a football party, with lots of events around the stadium and on the pitch, it was a good game and very good for us. It was a good workout, I think we stood up to them well.'
The only downside to the day was the injury scare about Matt Mills after he got clobbered by their keeper.
Ruling out any long term problems, Sven added.
'Matt was a little dizzy after a couple of knocks so he had to lie down for an hour, but now he's ok.'

Baseball: Henry Baker pitches Agoura to Marmonte League championship
Henry Baker, the standout left-handed pitcher from Agoura High who wears uniform No. 32 in honor of Sandy Koufax ("It's the Jewish lefty thing _ you got to represent"), did all he could to deliver a Marmonte League championship on Tuesday.
Baker struck out nine, walked one and allowed four hits in Agoura's 2-1 victory over Simi Valley, allowing the Chargers (20-9, 11-3) to repeat as league champs.
"It was everything we needed from our ace pitcher," catcher Albee Weiss said.
It was a strange last eight days for everyone involved, but Baker, in particular, was feeling "extraterrestrial sources" at work, as he put it.
Last Wednesday, he threw five innings and struck out 11 when Agoura couldn't hold onto a 2-0 lead and lost to Simi Valley, 3-2. He pitched even though he was still mourning the death the previous day of his grandfather.
On Friday, Agoura was scheduled to play Simi Valley for the league title and played two innings before smoke from the Camarillo Springs brush fire forced the game to be postponed.
On Monday, rain forced another postponement, and that allowed Agoura to come back with Baker on the mound.
"To face that kid twice in five days . . . he's pretty darn good," Simi Valley Coach Matt La Belle said.
Said Baker: "It was pretty crazy. It was definitely an abnormal way to come into a game."
He ended up striking out 20 Simi Valley batters in 12 innings over the last two games.
Agoura scored both of its runs in the first inning off Simi Valley's Spencer Dubaich. Tyler Cohen and Weiss each had RBI singles. Wyatt Hogan hit a home run off Baker in the second, his eighth of the season. And that was it for the scoring.
Simi Valley (14-13, 9-5) finishes in a three-way tie for second with Moorpark and Thousand Oaks. Via tiebreaking rules, Moorpark will be the No. 2 team for the playoffs. If Calabasas defeats Royal on Wednesday, Simi Valley will be No. 3 and Thousand Oaks No. 4. If Royal wins, Thousand Oaks will be No. 3 and Simi Valley No. 4.
Moorpark defeated Thousand Oaks, 1-0, on Tuesday. Sean Barry (10-1) struck out eight and allowed two hits.

There is technically only one breed of turkey, with several varieties, although many people incorrectly refer to these varieties as breeds.
Turkeys are raised for meat only. There are no varieties of turkeys that have been developed for egg production (as with chickens, ducks and quail). As a result, turkeys do not produce very many eggs. This can be a problem with breeder flocks.
Broad-breasted white is the most common type of turkey raised commercially in the United States. It has a larger breast than the other varieties of turkeys.
The term Heritage turkeys refers to naturally mating turkey breeds indigenous to the Americas. These varieties date back to early Colonial times. They are Beltsville Small White, Bourbon Red, Jersey Buff, Narragansett, Royal Palm, Slate, Standard Bronze and White Holland. Heritage turkeys grow at a much slower rate than Broad-Breasted Whites. The result is a smaller bird but one with a more balanced dark-to-white meat ratio; a more intense, sometimes gamy flavor; and a thicker layer of fat surrounding the breast.
- Caruncle - brightly colored growths on the throat region. Turns bright red when tom is upset or during courtship.
- Hen = Adult female turkey
- Jake = a young male turkey
- Jenny = a young female turkey
- Poult = young (baby) turkey
- Snood - the flap of skin that hangs over the turkey's beak. Engorges and turns bright red when a tom is upset or during courtship.
- Turkey = singular; Turkeys = plural
- Tom = Adult male turkey (also often referred to as a 'gobbler')
- Wattle - the flap of skin under the turkey's chin. Turns bright red when the turkey is upset or during courtship.
As turkeys get older it is easier to tell the males (toms) from the females (hens).
- Toms are typically larger than hens.
- Toms have a larger snood (the fleshy material that hangs from their head) than hens.
- Toms have larger caruncles (the fleshy bumps on the top of their necks) than females.
- Sexually mature toms will grow a beard (stiff hair-like projections from the top of their neck).
- Toms will strut.

Perfect is boring
Perfect just gets in the way of being here. Now. There is so little room for magic in perfect.
Ok, so maybe that's a little bit bold, but there was a bride who dreamed of a sunny vineyard wedding but instead danced barefoot in the rain, her face wet as she kissed her man. There was a couple that met on the last night of his stay in this country as she stumbled out of a taxicab, and now they are building a life together.
For me capturing moments is not enough; it's knowing when and how. Let me show you who you really are, because you are magic my dear!

Did You Know Bilderberg Created the 1973 Oil Crisis?
The Bilderberg Group orchestrated the 1973 Oil Crisis and talked OPEC into playing along to ensure that Anglo-American oil companies with ties to Bilderberg would profit from oil exploration in the North Sea.
Now that's a deep secret they won't teach you in school because, frankly, Bilderberg doesn't want you to know.
This is why it's important to cover the Bilderberg Group.

In the last few years it has become clear that the pathology of the disease begins a decade, maybe even two decades, before any signs of cognitive decline emerge. The question on the table is this: Can Alzheimer's disease (AD) be stopped before symptoms begin? Or can we even slow or push back its onset so people can live without cognitive challenges for a longer period of time? Reisa A. Sperling, MD, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and director of the Center for Alzheimer's Research and Treatment at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, has taken care of patients with dementia for decades. About three years ago, Dr. Sperling thought it was time to start a prevention trial for older people without a known genetic history of AD. The DIAN (Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network) study was already in the pipeline to test whether treatment could push back the clock on the inevitable genetic hit in people with rare causative mutations known to trigger AD. That group represents less than two percent of those who develop Alzheimer's. What about the rest of those patients? Can we stop Alzheimer's before symptoms appear? In the March 19 online edition of Science Translational Medicine, Dr. Sperling discusses A4, a new secondary prevention trial in older people with amyloid accumulation at high risk for Alzheimer's disease dementia. In a phone interview with Neurology Today, she discussed the thinking behind the trial design and outcomes. Excerpted remarks from the interview appear here. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT IS THE A4 TRIAL? A4 stands for Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease. We wanted to identify at-risk individuals with evidence of Alzheimer's changes in the brain and assign them to a randomized double-blind treatment protocol with an anti-amyloid agent or placebo and follow them over time to see if it makes a difference. We know that about 30 percent of people over 65 years of age have evidence of amyloid deposition in their brains. There are enough data to tell us that these people are at higher risk for developing clinical signs of Alzheimer's. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR THE STUDY? We think a secondary prevention trial in older people with amyloid accumulation should provide insights into whether anti-amyloid therapy could delay cognitive decline. But this is just the first step. In time, we will be able to test other therapies that come along. Maybe it will take a combination of drugs. But this study will tell us if our design is right and if we can get to the disease early enough to make a difference. The failures we have had testing amyloid-modifying therapies in patients with moderate dementia makes us think that we may need to begin much earlier if we want to alter the disease course. The motto for the A4 study is "Now is the time" because we think now is the time for this study based on the advances in science, now is the time for an individual to begin treatment before memory loss has begun, and now is time because Alzheimer's disease is a looming public health epidemic. Back to Top | Article Outline HOW DID YOU BEGIN THINKING ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE STUDY? About three years ago, the data started to emerge from amyloid imaging and cerebrospinal fluid studies that there were normal older individuals with amyloid in their brains who had abnormalities on functional MRI and positron emission tomography scans and atrophy in certain brain regions hit by Alzheimer's and even subtle changes on cognitive tests. We would use this information to create criteria that researchers could use to detect evidence of preclinical Alzheimer's disease. I worked on these guidelines and I remember thinking that if we could actually measure preclinical AD, why couldn't we do a clinical trial to see if we could alter the trajectory of the disease. My colleague, Paul Aisen, MD, director of the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) and professor of neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, and I decided that it was time to do such a study. The ADCS was up for its grant renewal and we decided to map out the study and see what happens. The National Institute on Aging [NIA] funded the grant, contributing about $36 million to the A4 study. It was a substantial vote of confidence. A4 is a major collaborative effort between the NIA, Eli Lilly and Company, which is supplying the medicine for the trial and additional support, and the Alzheimer's Association that recently gave us $8 million to look at those people in the study who don't have amyloid build-up to learn about other factors that may contribute to cognitive decline. Back to Top | Article Outline WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SOLANEZUMAB, WHICH HAD NEGATIVE PHASE 3 RESULTS? It took us a year to figure out the investigational treatment to use in the clinical trial. A committee of nine researchers looked at all of the published (and unpublished) phase 2 and phase 3 data on anti-amyloid agents. We thought Lilly's antibody, solanezumab, looked the safest and it seemed to show a cognitive signal in a subgroup of patients with mild AD. Even though the results of a phase 3 study on solanezumab were not positive, that signal suggests that it may have a chance at slowing the progression of the disease if we gave it 10 years earlier. Back to Top | Article Outline IS SOLANEZUMAB THE ONLY DRUG BEING STUDIED? Our thinking was that solanezumab would be the first drug we studied in preclinical AD but certainly not the last. Anti-amyloid antibodies are thought to clear amyloid-beta from the brain. But the beta-secretase inhibitors that are now being tested reduce the production of amyloid. An agent that goes after the production of amyloid-beta should be given as early as possible, and I hope this might be the drug we test in the "A5" trial. Ultimately, it will probably be a combination approach that will slow or prevent the disease altogether. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT ABOUT THE ETHICS OF TREATING PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NEVER GET SICK? We frequently treat individuals with risk factors who may or may not progress to manifest symptoms, such as chemotherapy for Stage 1 cancer, lowering cholesterol, and anticoagulation medications. These medications all have some risk of adverse events. There are already data suggesting that amyloid-positive individuals as a group are at significantly increased risk of progression to symptomatic AD, but we do not know the risk yet at an individual level. Our A4 consent form clearly states that some individuals may not progress to AD dementia in their lifetime. We will of course work to minimize any risks to participants. We carefully considered the risk-benefit ratio for A4, which is part of the reason we chose solanezumab. It has a very good safety profile. The A4 population is clinically normal, fully able to make the decision about participation for themselves based on all of the available information. Most important, they know that we do not yet have all of the answers. This seems the most ethical way to proceed. Back to Top | Article Outline WHO DO YOU HOPE WILL JOIN THE STUDY? Since this is the first prevention trial in clinically normal older people, we hope that we get a diverse group of people interested in helping us find a successful treatment for Alzheimer's. We are looking to enroll over a thousand people at 60 centers throughout the US and Canada, and we just added Australia. That means we probably need to screen about 5,000 people (and reach out to twice that many). Those who are enrolled in the study will be 65 to 85 years old and at entry into the study they will be cognitively normal (based on history and a series of neurocognitive tests) and have evidence of amyloid accumulation in their brains on screening PET scans. Throughout the study, they will be closely followed with repeat brain scans and neurocognitive testing. Each person will be randomly assigned to receive solanezumab (an IV infusion once a month) or a placebo dose delivered in the same way. There will be a three-month evaluation period and 168 weeks of treatment. We just screened our first study subject in early March and several others are ready to be tested. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT ARE YOUR SELECTION CRITERIA? To make sure that people enrolled in the study are on the same cognitive playing field, those who score higher than one standard deviation above the age- and education-normative values, or one standard deviation below, will not be eligible. We are also requiring that one in five people screened for the study are from an under-represented minority so that we can get much needed answers about the role of ethnicity in risk for Alzheimer's disease. It will be tough to recruit enough minorities for screening in some parts of the country, but we have to try. We need to know why African-Americans and Latinos are at higher risk for AD. We don't have the data to speak to that. People who are eligible for the study must have a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) total score of zero, with no evidence of dementia or problems in daily functioning. Everyone who is eligible will have a PET scan to measure amyloid deposition. If there is evidence of accumulation, people can continue screening for the study. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR EXCLUDING PEOPLE? There is a whole list of medical conditions that will lead to a person's exclusion from the study. A list can be found on clinicaltrials.gov. The study investigators will obviously assess depression and a person's risk for suicide. Any history of depression or bipolar disease in the past two years will keep a person out of the study. Also, people with a history within the past five years of chronic alcohol or drug abuse or dependence will be excluded from the study. Figure Back to Top | Article Outline WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO TELL STUDY PARTICIPANTS ABOUT THEIR PET FINDINGS? We thought a lot about disclosing the PET scan results and decided it was best to do that. The participants need to know. They are making a very big commitment to be part of the study. As I look around other fields in medicine — heart disease, cancer — this is what we do. We identify people with lab tests or imaging. We have the ability to try that in Alzheimer's. We had ethicists weigh in on this. We needed to know what to tell them about the studies on amyloid deposition and the risk for AD. Before they qualify, we rule out a history of depression and other medical conditions. They take a neurocognitive battery (along with the PET scan) that assesses their cognitive abilities. Once they move from the screening to the actual study then they meet with a study physician to go over the results. We will counsel them on their findings. In another piece of the study, we are actually studying the effect of the disclosure process. We need to understand whether disclosure will impact neurocognitive test performance and any changes that they perceive on their memory. Of course, we need to explain that there is much we do not know yet, and that some people have amyloid accumulation and never develop AD. We think disclosure is important for people to make an informed decision about being in the study and seeing it through to the end. (A subset of people will also get imaging for tau but the test is so new that we are not revealing the results of these scans.) Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania will be conducting a study on the effects of this disclosure process. Researchers will assess the impact of the consent process and of revealing the amyloid status to both amyloid-positive and amyloid-negative individuals. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT WOULD DETERMINE THEIR READINESS TO RECEIVE INFO ABOUT AMYLOID STATUS? We do a great deal to determine whether a person is a good fit for the study. We rule out depression and make sure that a physician does the counseling. We really want people to understand that there is an unknown risk of progression at the group level but not at the individual level. In other words, we don't know whether their amyloid levels means that they will develop mild cognitive impairment or AD. Of course, they also have to be clear that they may be taking a biologically active anti-amyloid agent even though they are cognitively normal. Back to Top | Article Outline TELL US ABOUT THE NATURAL HISTORY ARM OF THE STUDY? The Alzheimer's Association is providing funding for a natural history arm of the study. About 500 people who had no evidence of amyloid deposition in their brains and were cognitively normal at entry into the study will be followed over the length of the trial. They will go through cognitive testing and blood collection but they will not receive any treatments (or placebo). This so-called "screen fail" design will enable us to determine non-amyloid factors in assessing those who go on to decline on cognitive tests. It would be nice to find funding to obtain other biomarkers and follow-up imaging. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT ARE SOME OF THE UNUSUAL PIECES OF THE STUDY THAT YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT? Here is one that I think could be important for us and for future studies. Some of the cognitive testing in the study is performed on iPads that have the Cogstate card playing games that measure reaction time and visual recognition memory, and new tests we developed to study memory for names and faces. These measures have been shown to be powerful predictors of cognitive decline. We hope that this gets people excited about entering the study. We also have iPad tests that ask participants themselves about how they think their memory is functioning. And of course we will have repeat measures on several imaging studies that will help us in understanding how the clinical disease adds up to changes on these scans. We are also obtaining spinal taps to measure amyloid and tau levels in a subset of participants in the study, and another subset of people in the study will have a special new brain scan that measures tau pathology. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO SEE BY THE END OF THE STUDY? A4 is powered to detect a treatment effect of about 30 percent slowing in the rate of cognitive decline. That is our hope. Such an effect size would have an amazing impact on the clinical course. Imagine if we could delay dementia by just five years for individual patients? Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE STUDY? There are many. We need to screen thousands of older people who are cognitively normal and then after they go through a scan to measure amyloid accumulation, we may tell them something that changes the way they perceive themselves. We will know after a year whether disclosure of this information is causing problems. Also, I worry that we may be underpowered to see an effect of 30 percent change in cognitive status after three years. We have an interim analysis built in and if people are not declining we may have to determine if our estimates are correct. Adding Australia means another 100 people in the study, which brings us to 1,100. If we need more people, we will just have to raise more money, as it is really important to get some clear answers from this study. Figure TUNE IN, LISTEN UP: What could the findings from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease trial (A4) — a new secondary prevention trial in older people with amyloid accumulation at high risk for Alzheimer's disease dementia — mean for Alzheimer's disease? Earlier detection and possibly earlier intervention, according to the lead author of the A4 trial. In this podcast interview, Reisa A.

Laurent Depoitre is not getting carried away with his sudden success, but how will Euro 2016 affect Tottenham's chances of landing the striker?
By his own admission, Laurent Depoitre has had an unforgettable 12 months.
The Gent striker led his side to winning the Belgian title for the very first time last season, and has been playing Champions League football as a result this time around.
Now he is making an impact on the international stage, scoring on his Belgium debut at the weekend in a 4-1 win over Andorra.
The win saw Belgium qualify for Euro 2016, but Depoitre is not taking his place for granted, or getting carried away by his success.
His form has seen him linked with Tottenham Hotspur over the past week, with The Mirror the latest paper to link the Premier League side with a January bid.
Now with a Euro 2016 spot to aim for, Tottenham's transfer chase takes on a new twist, with the player needing to make a decision which will benefit his chances of being picked.
He told Belgian newspaper Nieuwsblade: "These are top moments in my career.Of course the European Championships next year I hope to be there, that's all a dream. However, I stand with my feet on the ground."
So the question becomes whether staying put, or moving on, is better for his international prospects?
At Gent he is clearly onto a good thing, and has caught the attention of boss Marc Wilmots, but for now remains behind Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku in the pecking order.
At Spurs he would have to compete for a position at club level, and while he can raise his profile and be more directly compared with his rivals, this could backfire if he is not a regular starter.
It will be an issue of whether he is prepared to take a gamble, and go all in on Tottenham boosting his international hopes, rather than leaving him short on guaranteed game time, for even if the finances prove right between the two clubs, there is a real risk that Depoitre could snub a move and decide to stay put mid-season.

Christmas Sugar Cookies, and Merry Christmas!16
I figured since I was unemployed during the holidays this year and had a bit more time on my hands, I'd make some decorated sugar cookies to give away in treat boxes this year. I also made my standard melomakarona, cranberry shortbread bars (recipe forthcoming), and peppermint bark (which I tried making in pretty molds and ended up not so pretty).
Although my decorating skills may still leave a bit to be desired (my snowmen looked like they were wearing pirate hats and had no noses, and some of my outline piping was way too thick, for example), I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out, considering it was only my second attempt at decorating with royal icing.
Like the first time, though, these were definitely a process. I'm sure that those who make these frequently get much better and quicker with time, but man, it can be exhausting! I also made the mistake of doing too many shapes and colors. I only have a few couplers and 2 tips that are decent for outlining so it was a bit of a nuisance for me.
On the first day, I made and refrigerated the dough. Easy peasy.
On the second day, I rolled the cookies out, baked them, and then outlined them once they had cooled. At this point, I was already exhausted and questioning why I chose to do this.
Later that day, I flooded the cookies.
I then let them sit out overnight to dry.
The next morning, I decorated them. And then breathed a huge sigh of relief.
I decided to try a different sugar cookie recipe this time around. I mentioned in my first sugar cookie post that I was planning on trying a few – not that I ever had any issues with that first cookie, not at all. This time around I used Ashlee's Famous Sugar Cookies, to try a recipe that used both granulated and powdered sugar. I omitted the lemon zest (just never been my thing in cookies) and upped the almond extract a bit. These cookies puffed a bit more than Annie's, though they still kept their shape pretty well. The surface was just a bit more raised and not as flat. I liked the texture of the cookies a little bit better, though I liked the more pronounced almond extract in the first recipe a bit better. So, it's a toss up!
I used the same royal icing recipe as I did the first time around and, once again, used Annie's incredibly helpful royal icing tutorial.
I would like to wish all of you the happiest of holidays!

The problem was that it's the parent responsability to make the child lwp runnable.

It could be disabled by a flag if it is necessary. The current scheme encourage code duplication.
