I had an "ah-ha" moment after our Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday night. Three parents had signed up for conferences. The very first thing the first parent mentioned was when she went to Back-to-School Night the previous week, she was excited to hear about the method we are now using to teach languages. She went on to say that she couldn't believe how much her child was able to read and understand after only a few weeks of Spanish 2. (Students have had several homework assignments in which they have to read stories to their parents in English, so through this the parents are also able to watch their progression in their language abilities.)
That sentiment was repeated in the following two conferences, along with each of them mentioning that their son or daughter enjoyed the class and was planning on taking the next level. One parent, that wasn't even signed up for a conference, stopped in to say hello and echoed the words of the others, saying how much her daughter enjoyed learning Spanish and wanted to take as many levels available at our school.
Hearing those comments was a confirmation that we are on the right track with CI/TPRS methods of teaching languages. Students are enjoying the classes because they, and apparently their parents too, are able to see their success and progress in their language abilities.
The "ah-ha" moment came when one parent mentioned that their child felt a little frustrated with the Discovery Streaming video that we are working with in class. It made me reflect on the pace I was using when narrating the video. Was I going too fast and not recognizing that the input wasn't comprehensible to all of the students? Was I determining my pacing on the students that were calling out the correct answers and overlooking those that weren't answering? That's the "ah-ha" part, not only are conferences beneficial to discuss a student's progress with their parent, but it also is a medium for feedback on whether or not I was succeeding in making the input comprehensible. Parent-teacher conferences can help the teacher too. Hmmm - I never looked at it that way before. I was always focused on "what can I tell the parent that will help their child succeed in class", instead of also considering "what can I learn from the parents' remarks that will help ME improve my instruction for the benefit of all the students".
The next day, my number one goal was to make sure what I was saying was comprehensible to ALL the students. I did
more comprehension checks and when I saw indications that some were
struggling, I back tracked and slowed down the instruction, looked into their eyes, pointed at the words with their English translations on the board, and paused.
In my opinion, the conferences I had with the 3 (really 4) parents were successful because, 1) I was able to have a few minutes to discuss their child's progress in Spanish, and 2) I received and looked for information in their comments that could help me in my use of TCI in the classroom. It is the students that will benefit the most from this win-win situation.

boat plans
gift certificates
Welcome to the Duckworks Boat Builders Supply! I suspect that this was in the back of Chuck's mind when he created Duckwork's Magazine. As a boatbuilder, he was already aware of the expense and often the difficulty of finding certain hardware and other parts necessary to boatbuilding. "What if", he said to me one day, "we had an online store?"
Our major suppliers are Seadog, Racelite, Ronstan and Challenge. We have many small hardware and gear suppliers as well plus all of the more than 36 designers whose plans we sell and whose boats we build ourselves.
We have stainless hardware of every description. We have every sort of high quality plastic cleat and camcleat and padeye and even some handy little pop rivets. Deckplates, deck blocks, LED lights, bimini hardware out the wazoo. We stock sailcloth, thread, thimbles, needles, grommets, palms and grommet tools. Lineand shock cord are relatively new items, and we have nylon, polyester, Dyneema and Manillo in stock. We have cheap chip brushes for the impatient people like Chuck and I. We have a great supplier of epoxy and all the related epoxy supplies.
Did I mention boat plans? This is where it all starts and whether you want to build one perfect boat or just keep adding onto the boat shed like we do everytime we finish a new boat, we think you will find what you are looking for from the designers we represent.
You can find just about everything you need from start to finish, and if we don't have it, we generally know where you should go to look. Duckworks Magazine is the perfect companion to the store. Yes, we know it is like in house advertising, and we hope you can find the answers to all your boat building questions there, because our contributors have been there, done that, and they have been incredibly generous in sharing their victories and their mistakes and we thank you all!
We are open to suggestions and we appreciate all the information coming our way. We do try to find items that cannot be easily found at the big hardware stores. We do our best to keep our prices low. We thank your all for your business!
Chuck and Sandra Leinweber

Perfect Expresso
Over the last 4 years I have become a huge fan of coffee. When I say huge fan, what I really mean is that I am addicted to caffeine and have some knowledge of good coffee. A co-worker sent me this article on expresso. You might be saying to yourself, well do you drink coffee or expresso? I think both! I have recently been turned onto coffee with a shot of expresso. Man what a rush. This article from David Lebovitz made me think I am approaching this whole coffee-express thang wrong. I do like good tasting coffee and specifically like kohna and sumatra blends, but my favorite brand is Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee - Blue Mountain Blend whole bean coffee. Maybe I will ponder as I finish my coffee. ;-)

Hello polish lovers!
Today I have my Other Realm mani for the Falling for Nail Art Challenge. In terms of other realm I decided to go with ghosts...that seems other realm-y to me.
I started with a base of Wet n'Wild's Ebony Hates Chris to give me a nice start before adding a coat of OPI's Metallic 4 Life.
I love the silver glitter in various sizes and the black jelly base for this. It kind of looks other realm-y even before the ghost. It would be good for a galaxy mani too.
I did the ghost on my accent finger in OPI's Alpine Snow and the details with a black striper. I find the ghost looks like the ghost from an old Mario Brothers game. As usual I top coated in SV(its a good thing I buy the large bottle to refill, otherwise it would be super expensive).
That's all for today. I will be back tomorrow with my 33DC mani for South America.
Until then, polish happy!

The kid never stays inside!But he sure is cute!
Here are my X-Box champions!
Well welcome to our little blog spot. We have finally decided to join our fellow bloggers and get on the train that takes us out of the ancient times of phone calls (too bad because I liked phone calls!). The two pictures below basically represent what we do these days. The first one is what Jackson wants to do the first half of the day, and the second one shows what the little guy wants to do the second half of the day. I could leave him all day to play in the dirt and he wouldn't even know I was gone until he fell into the window well and couldn't get out! Anyway, our little family is doing well. We have moved into our new home in Kaysville and love it. That's all for now.

From Shirish B Pradhan
Kathmandu, Jul 11 (PTI) After its first female President and Parliament speaker, Nepal will now have its first woman Supreme Court Chief Justice after Sushila Karki today formally assumed office.
The Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee has yesterday unanimously approved the name of Karki, recommended by the Constitutional Council on April 10, for her appointment to the post, creating a new benchmark in the 64-year-long judicial history of the country.
Her appointment means Nepal will now have women as its President (Bidya Devi Bhandari), Speaker of Parliament (Onsari Gharti) and as the chief justice of the Supreme Court.
Karki, 64, who is the 25th Chief Justice, took oath of office and secrecy from President Bhandari.
She had been working as acting Chief Justice for nearly three months following the delay in the Parliamentary hearing, which is a must in approving the appointment of any chief of the constitutional body in Nepal.
Karki took charge of the Supreme Court as the Acting Chief Justice since her predecessor Kalyan Shrestha retired on April 14.
She was appointed the Ad-Hoc Justice at the Supreme Court in January 2009 and was promoted as Permanent Justice in November 2010.
She will head the judiciary till June 6, 2017.
Karki, who has done her Masters in Political Science from Banaras Hindu University, is known for her zero-tolerance for corruption and for her judgements like allowing women to pass their citizenship to their children, previously open only to men. PTI SBP SUA AKJ SUA

Good evening everyone!
I am delighted to bring you all a little sneaky peek of yet another forthcoming 1:48th basic house kit: Snowdrop Cottage; which we will be launching on the 'PETITE PROPERTIES' stand at the Spring Miniatura in March!
This pretty quarter scale cottage reflects the chalk and flint stone architecture found in the South and South East of the UK. 'Snowdrop Cottage' has four internal rooms and can of course be finished internally and externally in any way you choose!!

BSA Theory Study Group
The Theory Study Group provides a forum for those interested in sociological and social theory. After a well-attended event at the BSA 2007 annual conference – on 'Sociological Theory: Still Going Wrong?' – it was decided that there was scope for future activities organized under the auspices of the Theory Group. To signal the start of a new period of activity for the group, we decided to organise a high-profile conference to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of the events of May 1968 (see below).

Ives first beguiled New York theatergoers in I Married an Angel (1938) and went on to make Broadway history, originating roles such as Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. In 1944 he starred in Sing Out Sweet Land, a Broadway production with a score composed entirely of American folk songs. In the 1950s and 1960s he appeared in numerous movies, earning an Academy Award for his performance as Rufus Hannassey in The Big Country (1958).

In its riverside location, surrounded by lush Sri Lankan vegetation, the Cinnamon Citadel Hotel is an oasis of calm, just outside Kandy.
There's something magical about Kandy, the capital of the hill country, not only because the tooth of the Buddha resides in the temple of the same name, but also because of the outstanding natural beauty of mountains and valleys. Steeped in cultural heritage, it was never conquered by the Portuguese or the Dutch and it took the full might of the British army before it finally surrendered. These days, the narrow streets make it a bit of a traffic nightmare so the Cinnamon Citadel is the ideal base if you want peace and quiet.
In fact, even the architecture of the hotel is reminiscent of a Buddhist monastery but, step inside, and the 119 rooms are anything but sparse and monastic. 93 Superior rooms are equipped with all 4 star amenities and located in 3 different wings with either a garden or river view. There are also 2 suites.
I'm in one of the 24 deluxe rooms, located in the new wing of the resort, tastefully upholstered in a mix of heritage red, with mustards and crimson to highlight Kandy royalty and majesty. Best of all, I can sit out on my balcony sipping a cup of prime Ceylon tea and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river below.
Of course there's a large infinity pool, also with river views, but if you really want to get out on the water, the hotel has its own boat which will take you out on a nature safari. In my 45 minute trip I manage to spot Cormorants, Egrets, 3 types of Kingfisher, and a rare Brown Fish Owl.
The Panorama restaurant serves up buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner and, as well as international cuisine, features local Sri Lankan delicacies. As the name suggests, you can dine outside, lit by candlelight, and the view certainly takes some beating. There's also fine dining in Café C and Chef Raminda Premaratne delivers sophisticated modern Sri Lankan cuisine, not quite fusion, more a refinement of traditional flavours.
You can easily spend a few days here sightseeing and, as well as the 17th century Temple of the Tooth, the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens are well worth a visit, with more than 300 varieties of orchids, spice bushes, medicinal plants and palm trees. Probably most people's highlight is Pinnawala - home to around 100 wild Asian elephants, and the largest elephant orphanage in the world. There are regular feeding times for the babies, and you can really get up close. I don't recommend getting in the river to scrub the adults, although you're allowed to thrust handfuls of bananas in their mouths before their daily bath. It's an exhilarating experience.
Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts is the largest hotel chain in Sri Lanka, but also has hotels in the Maldives and is looking to expand further afield in the future. Each of their properties has a unique character, echoing landscape, culture and tradition.

A method is presented which is a kind of combining theoretic analysis and experiment to obtain the equivalent dynamic parameters of linear guideway through four steps in detail. From statics analysis, vibration model analysis, dynamic experiment, and parameter identification, the dynamic modeling of linear guideway is synthetically studied. Based on contact mechanics and elastic mechanics, the mathematic vibration model and the expressions of basic mode frequency are deduced. Then, equivalent stiffness and damping of guideway are obtained in virtue of single-freedom-degree mode fitting method. Moreover, the investigation above is applied in a certain gantry-type machining center; and through comparing with simulation model and experiment results, both availability and correctness are validated.

Commuting can be very frustrating, especially for those who are used to bringing their own cars. Imagine having a morning meeting and you can't use your vehicle due to number coding, what are you going to do? The most obvious answer would be to ride a taxi. But that is much more easier said than done. Let's face it, it's very difficult to find a cab in the morning. Most of them are occupied while others decline passengers because the ways to their respective destinations are experiencing heavy traffic.
Well, thank goodness for 24/7 Taxi!
24/7 Taxi offers a pick up service for those who are in need of a cab. You can call them up (number's at the bottom) a day before to schedule the time of pick up. I'm not totally familiar with the areas they service though they did fetch my sister in Pasig City last Thursday.
So okay, you might say that other taxi companies provide the same service, but there's a big difference! Two actually. First, they only charge an additional 70 pesos for the pick up service unlike other companies that has a starting rate of 300 pesos for a certain distance. Also, look at the picture I inserted before the previous paragraph. Notice anything? Yes, that's a new Corolla Altis. Most of their cabs are new, unlike the old (not to mention dirty) cabs of other companies. I've seen a lot of their cabs and most of them are new.
So the next time you need a cab, call 24/7 Taxi. It's like having your very own car and driver.

Assessing the Benefits and Disadvantages of Distance Learning
If you've ever been faced with a tough decision, you know that choosing sometimes becomes easier if you make a list of good points and bad. Here's a rundown of the potential benefits and potential disadvantages of distance learning. After reading this, deciding what's better for you will hopefully become clearer.
Distance learning benefits
More accessibility: People living in remote locations as well as the elderly and those with physical handicaps definitely benefit from the increased accessibility that distance learning provides. But now that there is better availability of online learning courses, and a better reputation among online learning institutions resulting from more accreditation, everyone benefits.
More flexibility: Distance learning offers an opportunity to learn when it's convenient for you. No more juggling school and work schedules, arranging child care or dealing with traffic jams. You're not bound by a structured school calendar, either.
More control: With distance learning, you learn at a pace that's right for you. Slowing down or speeding up is all at your discretion. You feel less stress and more satisfaction. You're also in total control of when and where you log-on for your classes and how quickly you earn your degree.
More money in your wallet: Because you don't "travel" to class, you save money on gas and other transportation costs. You don't need to spend money eating on campus, or for parking. Oftentimes, tuition for distance learning classes is less than the cost of traditional campus learning, too.
Distance learning disadvantages
Isolation: This isn't a problem for everyone. But with distance learning you are definitely alone more because there's less in-person interaction. Group communication takes place primarily via chat rooms and discussion boards.
Less reputable: In the past, distance learning wasn't always perceived by employers and the general public as a serious education. Fortunately, this perception is changing. However not everyone is convinced of distance learning's capabilities.
Technical know-how: Since technology is replacing the classroom, you'll need some knowledge of computers and the Internet in order to succeed.
Less oversight: For the most part, completing your work on time is your responsibility. Those who tend to procrastinate may have trouble adjusting to distance learning.
No campus experience: Campus life is more than just the classroom. With distance learning, you'll miss out on football games, dorm life, networking, debates, and other fun stuff.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN),
a leading developer of innovative wearable computing technologies and
solutions, today provided an update on its business initiatives and
reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 24,
"The enthusiasm and excitement around wearables continues to grow and
Kopin made further progress in the third quarter testing and evaluating
opportunities with potential partners," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's
President and CEO. "We are confident our displays, optics and Whisper™
Chip technology will be key components in many upcoming products from
global technology companies. On my recent trip to Asia to further many
of these opportunities, it became clear that Asian companies are ahead
in monetizing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and many
are close to commercial manufacturing. It also confirmed that the Asian
view around these emerging technologies is more closely aligned with
Kopin's thoughts: AR/VR should be used for mobile applications, with
interface to a smart phone and not a stationary PC; the headsets should
be small, light weight and comfortable to wear but still provide an
immersive experience; and the devices should be voice centric and not
touch centric. With this similar outlook and the technology to power it,
Kopin is a highly respected partner in Asia and would place Kopin
products across different verticals and companies throughout Asia.
"In fact, we are already seeing this view played out by Softbank, which
has recently exhibited our Solos™ wearables in Japan. Solos, our headset
targeted to the elite cycling community, features Kopin's unique Pupil
Optics and micro display. Solos uses our world's smallest heads-up
display module and pairs it with our best in class performance tracking,
precision training tools and other useful features. The response from
our Kickstarter campaign was very strong, and we are exploring
refinements to target Solos at other markets such as runners.
"Even without these developments utilizing our new technologies, our
core business is on track for significant revenue growth next year.
Production is under way for the displays Kopin provides to the world's
most advanced augmented reality pilot helmet used in the Joint Strike
Fighter (F-35). The program is progressing in line with typical new
programs, and we look for revenues from this opportunity to increase in
2017. We received additional orders for shipments under the Family of
Weapon Sight – I (FWS-I) program, which is an integrated night vision
targeting solution. These shipments are part of the Low Rate Initial
Production (LRIP) phase of the program. We also expect to receive
development contracts by year end for the companion program to the
FWS-I, the Family of Weapon Sight – C (FWS-C) and we look for revenues
to grow throughout 2017 from both programs.
"Another opportunity is the new Scott Sight for firefighters introduced
by Scott Safety, a division of Tyco. Kopin is providing the display
module for the world's first in-mask thermal imaging camera system that
provides firefighters improved visibility in smoke-filled environments.
Currently firefighters carry a thermal imaging camera in their hands
which impedes their ability to perform. Popular Science just awarded the
Scott Sight a "Best of What's New" award due to the 'situational
intelligence' the headset provides to firefighters. We look for strong
revenue growth in this segment in 2017. One can expect new applications
for Kopin's technology in the health and safety fields, where the use of
AR can enhance situational awareness and productivity. VR is also
helping to drive our sport drone business, primarily out of China, and
we are on track for that business to grow 30-40% this year, increasing
again next year.
"In the third quarter of 2016 we had 11 new patents granted and 11 new
applications. Our portfolio of over 300 patents and patent pendings
covers various wearables technologies and designs and helps ensure Kopin
will be a leading provider for mobile AR/VR markets. With over $84
million in cash and equivalents and marketable securities at the end of
the third quarter of 2016 we have the financial resources to fund our
current plans and the opportunities ahead with partners. We are very
encouraged by our progress this year and are very excited to see these
achievements monetized in 2017," concluded Dr. Fan.
We expect exciting developments in the next six to nine months, with
major announcements in the coming CES in January, 2017 and Mobile World
Congress in March, 2017 and we hope you will have an opportunity to
visit us at these major shows.
Third Quarter Financial Results
Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 24, 2016 were $5.8
million, compared with $8.0 million for the third quarter ended
September 26, 2015. Sales of products for wearable applications were
$1.5 million for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to $3.5 million
in the third quarter of 2015. Included in the third quarter of 2015
revenues was $1.8 million related to renegotiated contract terms due to
the customer's lowered forecasted program volumes.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2016
were $4.1 million compared with $4.0 million for the third quarter of
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $4.0 million
for the third quarter of 2016 as compared with approximately $4.6
million for the same period in 2015.
Net loss attributable to the controlling interest for the third quarter
of 2016 was $7.8 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with net loss of
$4.7 million, or $0.07 per share, for the third quarter of 2015.
We have maintained our strong financial position. Net cash used in
operating activities for the nine months ended September 24, 2016 was
approximately $19.4 million. Kopin's cash and equivalents and marketable
securities were approximately $84.3 million at September 24, 2016 as
compared to $80.7 million at December 26, 2015 and we have no long-term
All amounts above are estimates and readers should refer to our Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 24, 2016 for final disposition.

Washington: Two people were killed and another person was injured when a gunman opened fire at a mall in the US state of Florida Saturday.
According to preliminary reports, the shooting took place around 9.20 a.m. in the food court of Melbourne Square Mall.
Police have not identified the two fatalities or the wounded person, nor have they confirmed that one of them was the shooter.
However, a witness cited by local television channel WESH 2 said that after shooting two people, the gunman had shot himself and killed.
Melbourne police said that officers quickly identified the threat and contained the situation around 10.40 am.
Meanwhile mall employees were progressively evacuated out the back door, and after a store-to-store search, police said, "no additional threats were located."
A brief statement from the shopping mall said it would remain closed until the authorities finished their investigation.

"Why don't the County Commissioners take the money for the stadium and give it to the Board of Education to pay our teachers?"
"Regarding the speeders in Tuesday's paper, Woodpoint Avenue and Key Avenue were mentioned. I am glad to see this because one of the worst times of day is when the parents pick up or drop off their kids at Salem Avenue Elementary School. These people, once they get their kids in or out of the car, they just speed out of this area like it is a dragway or something. I hope someone cracks down on this also."
"I live in the West End and I am proud of it. But something is going to happen to our pretty little street soon. Someone took up a petition to paint big white lines on our road for parking cars. Don't you know that the property value of our home goes down when this happens?"

October is here and fall is in the air. The chill in the air especially if it is cloudy or rainy always makes me want to hunker down in my scrap room and create. When it is dreary outside I love to use bright colors because they always cheer me up!
It is time for a new book cover challenge! I loved the masculine feel to the book cover and I drew my inspiration from the hat and the rectangle window. I knew I had this silly picture of my husband in this pink floppy hat and decided to use it on my page. I wanted to keep my main design vertically down the center of the page, just like the book. I also added rectangles to mimic the feel of the window on the book cover. As a final touch I added twine to the hearts and title.

I gave my answer, short and sweet, and moved on with my day. And what a day it was! Full of frustration, tension, and anxiety. From the moment I walked in the door at work thinks started going downhill. I couldn't get into my assigned work area because the computer tech guy was there, doing something to my computer. Well, actually he was babysitting it while someone offsite dialed in and did something. Something that kept me from being able to use my computer for another 2 hours. Not good.
So, I located another computer to use, but this one only had part of what I needed to complete my work on it. I needed MY computer. And my workspace. When I finally got into it I was running so far behind and getting more and more tense. And there were other issues too. People that I needed to talk to about other problems. Problems that only got bigger and more complicated the longer we talked. And the tension kept building.
I skipped my break. I skipped my lunch. I skipped a "mandatory" meeting. I worked. And worried. And got frustrated. And then I started making mistakes. Nothing life threatening. Just stupid mistakes. Ones that my supervisor had to catch. Great, more anxiety. Which lead to more mistakes. UGH!!!
Meanwhile in the very back corner of my mind I was thinking about my blog post. About how pat my answer to the question of the day had been. How simple it sounded. How stupid. FINALLY I went to a very late lunch. I had to get out of there so I went to my car and called my husband. I complained and I fussed. I whined. And I calmed down. It wasn't so much what he said, it was the fact that he was there on the other end of the line. It was his voice, his presence. It took 20 minutes, but I finally began to feel the tension unwinding inside me. I felt myself begin to center and calm. To be able to breathe a clean breath and know that it was going to be okay. Not just tell myself that, but know it.
I wish I could tell you that the rest of my day went smoothly. It did not. I really do not handle stress well. I am not the kind of girl who can just shake it off and move on. I am also not the kind of girl who has grace under pressure. In fact I am pretty sure no one who knows me would associate the word "grace" with me in any way at all! But I did survive the day, and so did the people around me, so we will call it a win.
So, what about my blog post? It really was too easy. My answer was too pat, too simplistic. Don't get me wrong, it was true. But it didn't tell the whole story. It made my life sound so.....bland. Boring. Which it can be at times (oh those precious moments!). I didn't really give that prompt my full attention. And what's the point of the prompt if I don't really think it through? I think that God might have been trying to teach me that lesson. Lately I have been really been wondering about the direction of this blog and of my life. Am I living up to God's expectations for me? Am I on his path? I don't think I will ever be one of those people who can write beautiful prose about scripture or anything. But am I using this blog to reach people? Am I telling my story truthfully and thoughtfully?
Isn't it strange sometimes how God can use our crappiest days to teach us? I literally lived out my post yesterday. My husband was there for me, only a phone call away. And he did ground me. He made me step back and realize that it wasn't the end of the world and it would be okay. And God was there for me too. Only a whisper away. And when I didn't turn to him in prayer, he found another way to reach me, through my hubby.
And what lessons did I learn?
- Slow down and breathe.
- Slow down and think, let yourself really think and feel your way through a post before you publish it.
- Slow down and pray
- Slow down and call your husband or a friend if you need to.
- Just slow down.

**Important note**
When migrating to the Avi-on 1.7.5 (or later) app, all previously set device schedules will be stored under the schedules tab within the app. If you have similar schedules set on multiple devices, these schedules will be duplicated in the new schedules table.
>> We recommend that you clean up your schedules table by deleting duplicated schedules and making sure that your individual devices are still associated with the correct scheduled times.
In August of 2017, we responded to customer input and updated the scheduling flow of the Avi-on app. Why? Because people asked to be able to copy/paste schedules to multiple devices. Also, customers with Avi-on Grouping and Avi-on Pro asked for the ability to schedule groups.
OLD FLOW--one schedule per device, no schedules for groups
NEW FLOW--multiple schedules per device, multiple schedules per group
> This update enables you to create a single schedule and associate it with many individual devices.
> If you have the grouping feature, these updates enable you to apply schedules to groups, eliminating the need to create individual schedules for each device.
> If you have been an Avi-on customer for some time, you may need to update your schedules to follow this new flow. Info below on how to do that.
> For GE branded products, there is a limit of 10 schedules per account. Avi-on Pro Gold offers 20 schedules per account on a limited, free-trial basis. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for your free trial.
Section 1:
Getting Started
You can now create general schedules that can be assigned and removed to different devices and groups. Schedules have their own screen within the app that can be accessed from the app drawer. To access the app drawer, press the "three horizontal lines" in the upper left hand corner of the "Devices" menu. Note that these three lines are in the same location throughout the app, so you can always press them to return to the drawer.
Once in the drawer, you will see the scheduling tab along with other features covered in separate FAQs. Click on Schedules to access the new scheduling page.
We've designed the "Scheduling" page to look like the "Devices" page and it is just as easy to navigate. This screen is where all your schedules will live. Tap the large plus sign in the center of the screen, or in the top right corner, to create your first schedule.
Using the dial, set your desired time.
iOS Users: Drag the time around the dial.
Android Users: Move each end of the dial.
Tap the days of the week that you want the schedule applied to. You must select at least one day for the Schedule to save in a later step.
Tap the three "vertical white dots" in the upper right hand corner of the screen to edit the name of your schedule. Note that you can also remove schedules by tapping these same three white dots. Press "Edit Name" and enter a unique name for your schedule.
Then press "OK". Note that if you are using Amazon Alexa to control your Avi-on devices, you will want to pick a name that is easily recognizable for Alexa.
After pressing "OK" you will be returned to the schedule editing window. Tap "Save" and your schedule will then show up on the "Schedules" page. If you do not press save, then the changes you made to your schedule will not show up on the "Schedules" page.
You now know how to create schedules!
Section 2:
Assigning schedules to a device or group.
After you have created a schedule, you must choose which devices/groups will operate on that schedule.
First you will need to navigate from the "Schedules" page back to the "Devices" page within the app. You can do this by pressing the "three horizontal lines" in the upper left hand corner of the screen to reveal the app drawer, then press Devices.
Devices must be claimed in order to assign a schedule. If you have not already claimed your devices, you should do so now.
Similarly, if you prefer to select a group for the schedule, choose Groups. Note that schedules can only be assigned to a group if the group has already been created.
From the "Devices" menu, tap the "three vertical black dots" next to the right of your device's name. Or swipe from right to left on the device.
If you are in the "Groups" menu rather than "Devices", the commands shown above are the same. Tap the "three vertical black dots" next to the right of your group's name or swipe from right to left on the group.
Tap the calendar icon on the slider and you will be taken to a scheduling window for that device or group. Tap the schedule you would like to assign to that device, and then press Done.
If you are assigning a schedule to a group rather than a device, you will see very similar screens.
You will then see a screen that says "Saving…" with a status bar. Once the schedule is saved to your device/group, you will be brought back to the "Devices" or "Groups" menu. You will now be able to see a note under the name of your device/group that will indicate the next time that the device/group is scheduled to turn ON/OFF. An example of the note is shown below, "On at 7:45 pm."
There is an alternative way to assign a schedule to a device/group that is very similar to the above process. From the "Devices" or "Groups" menu, press the pencil icon on the slider instead of the calendar icon. This will take you to the "Settings" menu for that specific device.
From the "Settings" page, tap the calendar icon at the bottom of the screen and you will arrive at the scheduling window for that device (or group). Tap the schedule you would like to assign to that device/group, and then press Done. Wait for the app to save your schedule and then you're all done!
Similarly, the screens you will see for assigning a schedule to a group are shown below.
DISASSOCIATE it from the device. From the DEVICE page--meaning go to the individual DEVICE, press the CALENDAR icon, and then touch the schedule that you no longer want to use with this device. WHITE schedules are associated, GRAY schedules are not
If you accidentally associate "overlapping schedules" (two or more schedules with overlapping times) to any device, it causes neither schedule to work properly. You may have a one or more "overlapping schedules" in your list on myaccount.avi-on.com
If the "save" button is "grayed" out, that means that your phone does not have strong bluetooth AND wi-fi access, and the schedule cannot be saved. Physically move closer to your switch AND check your wi-fi strength.
1) If you have several devices, then you may have some devices that are out of range of the others. This is called a segmented network, and it may make it difficult for schedules to populate to the distant devices. Info here: https://support.avi-on.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015204288-Segmented-Network
2) You can fix segmented networks by putting a plugin (indoor or outdoor) between devices that are far apart. http://shop.avi-on.com/all-products/
The following functionality is coming in Q2 2018 for customers with the Remote Access Bridge (RAB).
1) EDIT or REMOVE schedules
2) Please note that for security reasons, you will never be able to ADD or REMOVE individual devices while remote
1) Quick way: Please re-synchronize your clocks by opening the app and turning one device on/off
2) Longer way: Follow these instructions: https://support.avi-on.com/hc/en-us/articles/236280607-How-do-I-check-my-firmware-version- (Click REFRESH one time, then do it again and SYNCH DATE AND TIME)
3) With Remote Access Bridge (RAB) in your network, your clocks will synch and update daily. Info here: http://shop.avi-on.com/avi-on-remote-access-bridge/
4) Without the RAB, your network synchs clocks MONTHLY. With the RAB, it synchs daily.
5) If you would like information on using sunrise/sunset, info is here: https://support.avi-on.com/hc/en-us/articles/206402598-How-does-the-Sunrise-Sunset-feature-work-
1) When you CREATE a schedule, please ASSOCIATE it with a device in order for the schedule to turn that device on/off. Info here: https://support.avi-on.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011358707-Scheduling-your-Devices
2) When you no longer want a device to follow a schedule, please DISASSOCIATE it from the device. From the DEVICE page--meaning go to the individual DEVICE, press the CALENDAR icon, and then touch the schedule that you no longer want to use with this device. WHITE schedules are associated, GRAY schedules are not
3) If you accidentally associate "overlapping schedules" (two or more schedules with overlapping times) to any device, it causes neither schedule to work properly. You may have a one or more "overlapping schedules" in your list on myaccount.avi-on.com
4) If the "save" button is "grayed" out, that means that your phone does not have strong bluetooth AND wi-fi access, and the schedule cannot be saved. Physically move closer to your switch AND check your wi-fi strength.
1) You can see which schedules are associated with particular devices by logging into your account at myaccount.avi-on.com (you can see it on the app, as well, but it is easier on the web)5)

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (2006)
This book was sent to me by friend Sufi "just because." And it is wonderful, but it is in three very distinct parts, so I am going to try to write this up after each part.
I still don't know who Elizabeth Gilbert is, but obviously she is a writer, and this is a biographical retelling of a year in her own life, where she searches for herself. I am totally envious of her opportunity to travel to different parts of the world on a spiritual quest. I have a friend leaving for Nepal in a few days for a month in a monastery, so it can be done, and I hope I have a chance for something like this too.
Needing to get away from a failed marriage and unhealthy relationship, Gilbert decides to take a year off and spend four months in Italy, four in India, and the last four in Bali - the last an opportunity that arose out of a work assignment.
Gilbert loves the sound of the Italian language and has started to learn it, and decides to continue her lessons in Italy. This first stage in Italy is the start of her healing process. She takes lessons in Italian, finds partners to talk to in Italian and finds pleasure in food - wonderful Italian food, always asking locals for the best restaurants - not the tourist places, but where real Italians eat. I found a lot of good self analysis. We may have different issues, but I liked her thought process.

Perfect for tourists who have seen enough beaches or city landscapes, this floating hotel offers a room with a different kind of view: Ten feet beneath the surface of a Swedish lake.
The Utter Inn offers guests a night to remember, with windows in every wall of the bedroom looking out into the water, teeming with fish.
The 'floatel' is the brainchild of artist Mikael Genburg, known for his unique hotel experiences including one in a tree in a city centre park, and 'Ooops', the sunken villa which opened this summer not far from Utter Inn by Lake Malaren, Vasteras.
Utter Inn has an above-surface kitchen inside a little hut made to look like a traditional Swedish cottage.
At bedtime guests climb down the hatch to their sleeping quarters which has an all-round view of life under the surface.
Mr Genburg, who opened Utter Inn in 2000, said the idea came to him out of the blue and he was curious to see if it could work.
He said: 'I don't think there is an experience quite like sleeping underwater and many people have come to find out if they like it.
'It's like a reverse aquarium – the fish like looking in at the guests and are fascinated by them.
'It's as if you're sat on your own island when you're on board – it's just an amazing experience.'
After being taken out to the floating hut by Utter Inn staff, visitors can relax on the deck or use the hotel's inflatable dinghy to explore one of the uninhabited islands in Lake Malaren before a night underwater.
The artist admitted that he had his doubts about the project when it first opened.
'I was quite worried as it was an unproven concept, but now I love it!
'Because there is a window on every side, you feel totally submerged in the lake.'
Mikael said: 'A lot of people who have visited have said they slept extremely well because of the rocking motion on board.
'People with busy lives and high-pressured jobs tend to visit, I think for the natural peace there is in the very relaxing surroundings.
'You can hear the lapping of the water outside of the windows as well which I think is a very therapeutic sound.
'I always want to be by water – it's so soothing, romantic and calm – all at the same time.'

Check out the video Megan Kelley of studiomnivorous made!!!
Directly below are progress work on the paintings
The acrylic piece was painted over four times .... I let some eyes from previous attempts to remain showing through....
Other artists in Terrible Twos!
Terrible 2's, an art show curated by Jeff Bertrand will be held on June 4th from 6 to 9 pm at 40AU Gallery inside the historic Arcade building in downtown Nashville. This show will feature twenty-two of the best local and regional lowbrow and outsider artists. Bertrand, who is curating the show, wanted to challenge each artist to reflect on their childhood, to create paintings based on what they thought it meant to be an adult. Bertrand, who will be featured in the show, states that "when we were kids, we rushed to become so much older so quickly. Time seemed to take forever. Yet as adults, time seems to slip by us so quickly and it seems we wish we had that youth what we once had." Each artist will create two paintings that will relate to two distinct themes. The first painting will show what each artist viewed their future as when they were children. The second will be looking back on how they view their youth as an adult. The artists featured in the show are as follows: Charles Bennett, Jeff Bertrand, Chip Boles, Tony Brock, Brooke E ,Burn 353, Ryan Case, Drew Camino, Abby Coppage, Erin Crissey, Jeremy Cross, Amy Elizabeth, Brandt Hardin, Dirk Hayes, Vince Herrera, Anjeanette Illustration, Elisheba Onedropink Israel , Megan Kelly, Jonny Lashley, Janet Lee, Anna McKeown, Michael "Old School" Mucker, Shaunna Peterson, David Pound, Joshua David Sarver, and Chad Spann -copy by Jeff Bertrand

Karzai received money from Iran
Afghan president Hamid Karzai admitted on Monday that his chief of staff had received "bags of money" from Iran but insisted the payment was transparent and a form of aid from a friendly country.world Updated: Oct 26, 2010 00:28 IST
Afghan president Hamid Karzai admitted on Monday that his chief of staff had received "bags of money" from Iran but insisted the payment was transparent and a form of aid from a friendly country.
Cash payments "are done by various friendly countries to help the presidential office and to help the expenses..." said Karzai at a press conference in Kabul.
The New York Times reported on Saturday that Karzai's chief of staff, Umar Daudzai, has been receiving regular cash payments from Iran, which is trying to expand its influence in the presidential palace in Kabul.
"The government of Iran has been assisting us with five or six or seven hundred thousand euros once or twice every year, that is an official aid," said Karzai.
"He (Daudzai) is receiving the money on my instructions," he added.
The newspaper, citing unnamed Afghan officials said the payments total millions of dollars and go into a secret fund that Daudzai and Karzai have used to pay Afghan lawmakers, tribal elders and even Taliban commanders to secure their loyalty.
"It's basically a presidential slush fund," one Western official is quoted by the paper as saying. "Daudzai's mission is to advance Iranian interests."
The Times cited unnamed officials as saying the Iranian payments were intended to secure the allegiance of Daudzai, a former ambassador to Iran who consistently advocates an anti-Western line to Karzai and briefs the Afghan president every morning.
Last August, when Karzai wrapped up an official visit to Iran, Tehran's ambassador to Afghanistan, Feda Hussein Maliki, brought to the presidential plane a large plastic bag filled with wads of euro bills and handed it to Daudzai, according to the report.
"This is the Iranian money," the paper quotes an Afghan official as saying. "Many of us noticed this."
Iran denies reports of payments
The Iranian embassy in Kabul on Monday denied as "ridiculous and insulting" a New York Times report alleging that Tehran has sent Afghan President Hamid Karzai's chief of staff cash payments.
"The embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly dismisses the false, ridiculous and insulting allegations by New York Times," it said. "Such baseless speculations are being spread by some Western media in order to confuse public opinion and damage the strong ties between the governments and nations of the Islamic republics of Afghanistan and Iran."
The US newspaper reported that Karzai's chief of staff Umar Daudzai has received regular cash payment from Iran, which is trying to expand its interests in the Afghan presidential palace.

No men OR women needed: Scientists create sperm and eggs from stem cells
Posted by Teru Wong on Saturday, October 31, 2009

User whom started this thread (Screen Name/User ID):

One thing to clarify here:
No living things can be created without any living tissue
A cell is a living tissue.
#1. No living things can be created without any living tissue - T/F?
#2. No living tissues arrived from the outter space - T/F?
#3. The Earth has living things inside - T/F?
As a result, the Earth is a living thing. (#3 can be used as a cross-reference)
With the hope to search for a new discovery, ones should not use LOGIC to start thinking of a scientific hypothesis. LOGIC destroys all variations. It fouls out ideas & concepts by old (-school) thinking. Below is a diagram that gives you a more concrete idea.
For full size image:
Evaluations on my Logical Proofs:
1. True- 2. False-3. True = True (that reflects the second statement - 2. False - is true)
Logic is a broad game that limits your ways of thinking.
That's why the TRUTH belongs to me, not yours.
1. No living tissues ever arrived from the outer space - True/ False?
2. No living things can be created without living tissues - True/ False?
3. The Earth has living things - True/False?
With references to no. 1-3 sentences above, the Earth is a living thing.

In amidst a week of great productivity in the creative world, the edible world, and the go get social world, i've been feeling a bit fed up with technology and trying to figure out my frustrations of not being able to share such joys on the blog and with you lot.
For some reason my camera doesn't like batteries in his nostrils anymore. Rejecting even the finer 'longer lasting' energizers and not just my usual rechargables. Leaving me griping at having to pop out and then back in the batteries for nearly every shot. Que pasa!?!
Secondly, Blogger Snr Authority of the Uploading area tells me I cannot upload photos anymore to my blog as my max has been reached in picassa web albums (sorry I didnt even know I was using it). A purchase of more data is required... and it has now been a week since I kindly gave google (yes gave the one of the most freakeshly powerful beings of the world) my cc details... and still no "purchase" of more photo data has been made, so no uploading allowed.
And so I am left a writing mere words on the page, instead of giving you lovelies some pretty colours and shapes to peruse.
Lo siento! Sorry!

Alive For Evermore - Poem by Winifred Sutton Mayo
Yes We Can Live And Never Die, Love Says So.
The Lord Teaches Us To Keep His Commandments If We Love Him.
"Who Has Bewitched You?"
That You would Even Think To Disobey God Almighty.
Don't You Want To Please The Lord?
He Is Our All And All,
And Without Him We Can Do Nothing.
Without Him We Have No Power.
"Absent From The Body, Present With The Lord"
Jesus Teaches Us That Though We Be Dead, Yet Shall We Live
If We Believe In Him. And I Believe Whatever He Says.
We Are Alive For Evermore.
This Place Is Not My Home. We Are Just Passing Through Here,
Working For The Lord As We Go. Working While It Is Day.
He Will Use Our Hands, Our Minds, Our Bodies, Our Feet.
Our Voices, If We Allow Him. He Wants To Use You And Me.
Jesus Will Use Us If We Let Him.
Oh Saints Live Forever!

Luke Marsden: What's In His Astrological Profile For This Year?
Above and beyond his popularity on Big Brother, if you would have told the cute, usually suit clad, Luke Marsden a while back that he would be so successful he would have cheered, for at least one of his dreams had finally come true! Luke Marsden was a sweet kid, rather introverted at times. Any teasing would have had him turn gloomy, the fault of sun in Cancer making him one of the ultra sensitive brigade! On his Big Brother interview, he said women thought he was gay, and that he was probably bad in bed. Very endearing statement which got him loads of fans. On that occasion sensitive Cancer was eclipsed by a very Aries moon, a moon that knew what it was doing and got him on the show. Those moon vibes will continue to push that contrast button, and show Luke Marsden up as a full on, go-getting laugh a minute in complete contrast to his rather prim, self confessed virginal demeanor. Such a laugh in fact, that his bizarre antics have us falling about, and let's face it everyone adores a fun guy. Luke Marsden reports on wrestling, one of his prime interests, put him on the front page originally. He has a nose for getting noticed. Be not surprised to see him start up a skew ball rap session, yet another ruse to catch our attention, in fact we can expect anything from one moment to the next. Girlfriends will come and go but Luke Marsden's leadership genes and fidgety attitudes will stay, making him a surprising winner. A geeky guy with a Hulk sub personality, he plays Jimi Hendrix guitar to millions of adoring fans… in his fantasies. Yes, as we said, he does dream. Okay some might scoff at his speedy new found fame, yet do not underestimate Luke Marsden. His Saggy ascendant will teach him big bucks can come and go, but he will never allow fame to color his values. He will learn to ignore those who judge him by standing up to his own emotional reactions, cultivating that empathic personality and delighting his audience. His Saggy ascendant will make him consistently bright, able to read a situation fast and analyse which corner to turn next. In fact, being silly will never be meaningless, new doors will open up to a truly comedic destiny. Luke Marsden is at the very beginning of a long and successful career folks! He always had to look after himself anyway, and he will continue to take care of the small print, and never expect anyone to do anything for him. In the past, an unfriendly Mr. Saturn, the planet of lesson learning, could have gotten Luke Marsden depressed, wanting nurturing, feeling needy and consistently overlooked. His sun in the eighth house would have driven him forwards, deciding to build on self confidence rather than self doubt; he wants to feel the ground firmly under his feet, to protect those he loves, to dedicate himself to projects that in his view, only a solid bank balance can build on. But worry not Luke, money will always come your way, and with more showbiz maturity another door of will open; you are in the right business to make it through any of your nights! But ladies, let's face it, that Venus in Cancer has us inexplicably enchanted. His super sensitivity, his emotional thin-skin, his touchy feely vulnerability galvanizes our attention, so loved he shall be by a series of doting girl friends, above and beyond present romantic interests. So what is the secret to such fascination? An astro combination of hypersensitive Cancer combined with a super confident and well placed Leo, so quit asking yourself how a basically mainstream guy can have so much sex appeal. This year Uranus influences will push Luke Marsden to sudden changes. He will realize that although people could put a spanner in his works, criticise him, put him down, and make life difficult, he will overcome nevertheless. And to do so he will transform into Hulk at last. We see his physique changing; he might go into muscle building, or some sort of fitness regime to give him the strength to tackle an increasingly successful lifestyle. He could embellish on his wrestling interests even. As a result his affairs will proceed harmoniously with Jupiter on his side. Opportunity after opportunity will fall into Luke Marsden's lap; he will feel a lucky chap! There is nothing clichéd about this guy, he is an original, a fresh faced energy on the show biz scene. New ideas will stimulate his interests he could get involved in a number of fun projects, even politics! Watch this space; we have not heard the end of Mr. Luke Marsden yet. We cheer him on to victory, in his own way he has accomplished much, and deserves more! Bless you Luke!Speak to one of my hand-chosen psychics, instantly and confidentially! Calls cost £1 per minute plus your phone provider's access charge - call 09062655013. Or book a credit card reading by calling: 0207 111 6157 (c/c readings are priced higher).

There was an immediate and whole-hearted welcome from business groups on Tuesday as news of the deal emerged and the resulting pledge to devolve corporation tax powers.
After weeks of waiting and warnings over the critical need for action to protect and encourage economic growth, CBI Northern Ireland chairman Colin Walsh said the entire business community had been encouraging political representatives to reach a deal.
"I hope this is a sign that all the parties will continue to work collaboratively going forward in the interests of everyone within the community.
"This is essential in building confidence in the economy and necessary to building bridges within our community, and helping create higher levels of trust, respect and improved relationships.
"The announcement that corporation tax will be devolved to the Assembly in early 2015 will help boost confidence within the business community."
Kevin Kingston, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NI Chamber), said: "NI Chamber welcomes the fact that an agreement has been reached and that legislation will be introduced as soon as Parliament returns to enable the devolution of corporation tax in April 2017.
"We encourage the NI Executive to work in parallel on the implementation of key measures to deliver sustainable finances."
Glyn Roberts, chief executive of the Northern Ireland Independent Retail Trade Association (NIIRTA), said a great deal of progress had been made.
"Political stability is a crucial bottom line for building economic prosperity.
"It is a very positive development that agreement was reached on the budget, welfare reform and most important of all – the green light to devolve corporation tax."
"We hope that further progress can be made in resolving parades in the New Year.
"NIIRTA has consistently outlined the need for a reduced number of NI Executive departments and reform to make the Assembly operate more effectively."
Nicola McCrudden, NI director of the Chartered Institute of Housing. said: "We remain hopeful that local politicians will take sensible steps to avoid the impact of the bedroom tax here.
"It has been clear for some time that this policy is causing hardship and suffering for thousands of people across Britain."

I know - lots of t-shirt quilt finishes lately! But the cold, dreary weather keeps me inside, working hard. And this one wasn't too many shirts, with only a little bit of "extra work" adding a 3-D pocket to the green shirt on the left, so it went fast.
Although I'm pretty sure as a former Oklahoma resident, and a soon-to-be-returning Oklahoma resident {<---that's a hint, right there!} I'm supposed to hate Texas Tech. Oh well. I did the t-shirt quilt for her mother a few years ago, so it was wonderful to have a repeat customer.
Look, no snow! Instead, we have wind. I know, I'm never satisfied...but really, we've had sucky weather of some sort for a really long time now. I'm more than ready for spring. Like, any time now, sunshine.
Look, I do fill out labels! And immediately after I took this picture, it started raining.
The flannel is a black plaid, the binding is black Kona. Easy enough! Quilting is loops, in pearl grey Superior thread.
