I LOVE this book and decided that I would incorporate it into my prek class during our "Seasons" month. I looked around online and on pinterest to find a craft that I could do with it. I wanted something that the children could make that could transform from a caterpillar to a butterfly so they could use the craft to "re-enact" the story while I read to them. But I couldn't find anything! So, I made up my own :)
This was the first time I had done this obviously, so I learned along the way...like what I could've done beforehand to make it go faster in the classroom. If you are doing this with your child at home than they can participate in all the steps - but in the classroom you'll have to do some ahead of time or it'll take you all week :)
Here are the materials you'll need:
-either 1 1/4 toilet paper roll per child OR 1 paper towel roll for every 2 children
-scissors, glue and hole punch
-green construction paper and white paper (optional)
-paint and paint brushes (red paint for the head)
-butterfly template to be used on green paper and white (I can't draw worth anything and was able to make a crude outline...I'm sure you can too ;)
-1 pipe cleaner per child (any color) cut in half
-piece of 2-3 inch string for each child (optional)
Here is what you can do ahead of time if you are working with a class...
-punch holes in the tube and "head"
|This is the "head". I punched two holes on the top and directly underneath I punched two more holes. One set is for the antennae and the other is for the string to attach it to the body.
-cut the paper towel rolls in two (if using them) and cut out "heads" (heads are a quarter of a toilet paper roll)
|on the left is half of a paper towel roll, on the right is a toilet paper roll. The difference between the two is the "head" of the caterpillar :) So the paper towel roll was the perfect size for 2 children to use.
|That's about how much I cut off of the paper towel roll for the head :)
-cut out butterfly template (one side needs to be green...the children can paint their butterfly on the other side of the green paper or you can have them paint on white paper and glue it on to the green) I wanted the white background for the butterflies so I had them paint on white paper and then I glued it to the green...but you could skip this step and the children can just paint the green paper.
-punch two holes on one end of the tube as well...once the butterfly has been painted and glued on to the roll, you'll be punching holes in that as well.
1. On the first day, have the children paint their white butterfly template (or green). In addition, have them paint the head red. I didn't think about that the first day and had to drag the paints back out for the head. Save yourself the trouble and do it all at the same time :)
|I folded the template in two, had them paint one side, then we folded it over to get the "reflection". They thought that was cool :) Then I glued them onto the green template.
3. Put the pipe cleaners through the top of the head for your caterpillar. Now, flip it back over and put the other pipe cleaner in the same holes as the string...this one is for your butterfly :) The pipe cleaner would probably hold the head on and you wouldn't need the string...but I figured it'd be better to have the reinforcement there :)
To make it a caterpillar, simply wrap the wings around the tube and hold them in place with a rubber band. (I thought about velcro but that would probably tear up the paper). I have some nice colored rubber bands I'm going to use next time :)

|This article is about Britain. You may be looking for New England.
Britain (also known as the United Kingdom or Great Britain) was the first and is currently the oldest nation on Terra Nova. It is based in the British Isles, being along the English Channel which is a region labeled as the 'cradle of civilization' of Terra Nova. It was established by MineHero43 on October 27th, 2018 after the founding of the Urbs Antiqua, London.
It was also founded and built with the remnants of the Japanese state on EarthMC classic, many of it's mayors and notable people are characters from the Japanese Empire. Britain was, and is, also built along with the foundations and ideology of Accordo and Accordoism. See The Accordo Manifesto
Please note that all wars explained here are very brief and if you wish to read a detailed explanation, pleased visit their respective wiki pages.
Territory and Administration
Britain covers territory across the entirety of the British Isles, with the island of Great Britain and parts of Ireland under its banner.
States/Autonomous Regions
Senior Government Officials:
King-Emperor: MineHero43
Scottish Queen: amberhope
Prime Minister: FutureLemon
Scottish First Minister: FBI_Bro
Irish First Minister: Angloist
Government Structure
British Democracy:
Britain is a Constitutional Monarchy with many of its principles based on the The Accordo Manifesto. MineHero43 is the Head of State however the Prime Minister which is the head of government is elected once every two months.
The British Parliament consists of all mayors in the British nation. Although they cannot directly propose laws, they do vote on laws proposed by the government and if necessary, enough of them are able to band together and bring forward a vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister heads the British government and appoints Ministers to help him/her run the nation. These individuals make up the cabinet which is tasked with proposing laws and running the nations to the Prime Minister's standards. Cabinet Ministers can be fired by the Prime Minister at any given moment.
As part of the agreement between the British and Scottish leaders after the Scottish war, Scotland has its own devolved Governmental system. This functions very similar to the British system. Scottish towns elect their own First Minister to represent them, he/she is also a member of the British cabinet and cannot be removed by the Prime Minister
The National Ice Line:
Envisioned by MineHero43 ever since the founding of Britain, the national ice line is an underground network of ice tunnels which connect the towns across the isles to one another. It is one of the most ambitious projects on the server and is constantly being upgraded and expanded. One simply places a boat on the ice and follows the map towards the location one wishes to head to. Stations are set up across the nation.
New York Line:
Britain became the first nation to establish a secure trans-atlantic ice transportation system after a player by the name of BorderPatrolAgent dug a tunnel from New York to Britain and connected it to the ice line. One of the greatest achievements ever on the server, the ice line has furthered relations between New York and Britain and can be used to easily transport villagers or other mobs across the atlantic ocean.
Early History
The nation of Britain was founded by MineHero43 after he sailed from his spawn point in South Africa to the British Isles.
Britain was pre-planned before the release of Terra Nova by senior members of the classic Japanese Empire. MineHero43 would go on to establish the first and oldest town on the isles, London. Alongside London came Isle_Of_Wight, Cardiff and Dublin. After mining for nearly two days straight, MineHero43 had the gold to create a nation, Britain was founded as the first nation on Terra Nova.
Britain focused heavily on building its towns and establishing a secure presence on the British Isles. This lead to not only London becoming the first town to reach 100 claims but also London and Glasgow becoming the two largest towns on the server with over 200+ claims at one point. (Glasgow would later fall into ruin however London continued to prosper) Other towns such as Norwich, Dublin, York and Plymouth began growing in size as well. This saw the construction of famous
landmarks such as Westminster Palace in London which at the time was one of the largest structures in Europe.
Although Britain maintained a neutral foreign policy towards other nations in mainland Europe, Britain would soon be dragged into its first conflict.
The Nordic War
The Faroe Dispute:
In its mainland claims, Britain included the Faroe islands which at the time had an Icelandic town on its northern part. Britain soon established its own town on the southern island, Torshavn. The presence of Torshavn angered Iceland and its ally Norway and a large scale battle soon ensued over the islands, although no side lost anything as keep inventory was enabled at the time. Nevertheless, the dispute and battle pitted both sides against each other for the upcoming weeks.
Norwegian Civil War
The war soon turned against Britain as Norway captured the town of Sussex as a new mayor had recently taken over there. With the threat of more Norwegian towns on the Isles, Britain soon negotiated a peace with Iceland and Norway which allowed Norway to keep Sussex as a colony.
Less than a day after the peace was signed, Britain funded the mayor of Oslo, Magenent to create his own nation, Norge and start a Norwegian Civil war. Denmark under the leadership of alek_b would later join Britain and Magenent in their new conflict against Norway.
The war turned greatly in Britain's favour after the town of Sussex returned to Britain after MineHero43 had negotiated with the mayor to hand it over to a new one. Norway would see a surge of inactivity and players leaving the server, including their leader twigking which allowed for Magenent to claim all of Norway under his new nation
The war is generally considered a victory for the British-Danish alliance which would continue even after the war.
Continued Growth
Once the situation with Norway was under control, Britain focused one again on continuing to grow its nation, this time its economy. Tesco was soon founded in London as the first store of its type on the server, making use of the new sign shop plugin. This saw a huge surge in Britain's popularity and economy which allowed for more British towns to grow at a rapid pace.
Britain also saw the construction of more historic and iconic landmarks on its isles. Wither255 completed the first cathedral at Norwich alongside the first ship on the server, the HMS Light. Norwich would go on to become the hub for the vast majority of ships on the server with Wither255 constructing more ships, even for other nations such as Finland.
London saw further growth and the construction of iconic landmarks, such as the Arc de Lemon, SlyPrince theatre and Buckingham Palace beginning construction.
Scottish War
New arrivals:
Britain would soon be interrupted by a significant number of new towns in Scotland from places such as Africa and Siberia. These towns lead by xSpifflesx and RuseOwl would seek to establish a Scottish nation, free from Britain. This would turn into a six month war between Britain and Scotland with thousands of gold being spent and the future of the British Isles at stake. This conflict would be known as the British Civil War/ Scottish War for Independence
Claim Warfare:
With only very few major battles, the war soon turned into a war of claims between individual towns in Scotland and Britain. This saw Britain lose many of its claims to Scottish towns while Scotland would see entire towns fall into ruin, even losing their entire nation at one point. Many players would come and go with even RuseOwl leaving to Canada as the war continued and later on Shanka, the mayor of Glasgow would form his own nation United Kingdom. Nevertheless, both sides continued for a total of six months.
Peace and Reconciliation:
After six months of warfare, Scottish and British leaders sought a diplomatic solution and re-opened negotiations in late June (previous negotiations had failed). After about a week of discussion, both sides reached a mutually benefiting agreement with the following terms:
- All Scottish towns join Britain
- Scottish nation is moved off the Isles
- Scotland becomes an autonomous region
- Scotland keeps its discord
- Scotland keeps its /n spawn
- United_Kingdom is sold off
- Glasgow rejoins Britain
This agreement has stood until today where all sides have put the past behind them and have built a lasting, equal and fair community within Britain.
English Rebellions
Conman's England:
During the Scottish War, Scotland had helped a player known as "CallMeKingJames" take over the town of Sheffield and establish the nation of England. Britain fiercely opposed the nation and declared war on it as it seeked to undermine the stability of southern Britain.
Nevertheless, England did not last long as shortly after a month of its existence, pressure from Britain caused CallMeKingJames to hand over Sheffield to YellowVictini of Byzantium who then sold the town back to Britain while taking the nation of England with him to the middle east.
The new mayor of Sheffield, Warriorrr would begin a huge cleanup project of the town, calling on all players to destroy the old slums built by CallMeKingJames and replacing them with new roads and a fresh town hall. Today, Sheffield is a part of London.
1jmt's England:
Months after CallMeKingJames' England was dissolved, the old mayor of Sussex during the Noridic wars returned and established the town of Cornwall. By tricking the mayor of Plymouth he was able to gain a small 40 chunk foothold off the coast of Plymouth and after various name changes, he settled with England.
This however did not last long as mounting British and foreign pressure forced him to disband both Cornwall and England, leaving the area to be reclaimed by the mayor of Plymouth.
Irish Wars
While Britain's attention was focused on Scotland, the town of Cork soon rebelled from Britain and with help from Wabanaki, formed the nation of Ireland. Although Dublin remained the largest town on the island, Britain declared war on Ireland as it began to undermine the stability on the island. Ireland would go on to ally itself with Scotland and form the Celtic Union.
Once the war with Scotland concluded, Ireland was allowed to remain an independant nation and gain all towns on the island of Ireland, including Dublin. However Government instability, rigged elections and a phase of inactivity prompted the mayor of Dublin, Angloist to secede from the nation of Ireland and form his own nation, Eire.
Britain remained neutral as the Irish civil war ensued, however Ireland declared war on Britain as it believed Britain supported the rebellion. Currently a majority of Irish towns are sided with Britain and Eire, the conflict remains unresolved.

I think of recovery from religion like peeling layers off of an onion. Dissenting intellectually from teachings or doctrines you learned as an adult is like peeling off one of the outer layers. But if you keep going, you find scripts that got laid down earlier—attitudes, emotional conditioning, ideas you were taught before you had the capacity to question them. And some of these are tremendously harmful from a psychological standpoint.
I once was speaking to a group of Hindus who wanted to understand evangelical Christianity, because rampant proselytizing was dividing their villages and splitting families down the middle. After the talk, a woman named Mohini came up to me. She asked, 'Is what you told us really true—that Christians believe children are born evil?' I explained again the doctrine of original sin. She was horrified. She said, 'When babies are born into Hindu families, we whisper to them: "You are perfect. You are a spark of the divine."' — Valerie Tarico
In my last few years with different religious and non-religious groups, this has proven to be one of the pivot issues: people don't seem to stay in a healthy place if they're still battling the questions of core value (including worthiness and acceptance of self and acceptance of others) and core integrity (including wholeness rather than partial or complete self-rejection).
I have memory grooves from my first few congregations of "born in sin and shapen in iniquity," "like sheep, gone astray," and similar phrases heard frequently in sermon, prayer, and casual conversation. I didn't encounter alternative messaging like "before you were born, I consecrated you" until I was baptized, received my "grown-up" bible, and read the whole book on my own. Even later I realized that the pre-birth consecration message was an affirmation of a single prophet (Jeremiah), whereas "all we like sheep" and other passages made sweeping claims about every other soul. From text and context, the presumed defaults were clear.
When I first discussed Tarico's article with friends last spring, one shared his path moving out of Christianity and later returning to it because of his scientific studies (he researches genetics). But the article doesn't account for stories like his. That's because the Left-The-Church theme doesn't. Whether articles are written from within the fold like James Martin's pitiful piece in the HuffPo or outside of evangelicalism like Tarico's, so many articles presume there's a definitive one-way trajectory… a "bat out of hell" escape from religion rather than a more organic, winding, and even recursive journey of deeper self-knowledge and sounder relationships regardless of affiliation. After all, it's also possible for people to journey in place, without "leaving" at all.
Tarico's post still reads to me as a story of growing out of early tribal models and developing adult ones in their stead. It was our early tribes' job to give us those models, and it's our job as adults to re-engage them. I'd love to see more religious and social groups set up to support the adult re-engagement process in a healthy way. But when communities respond to questions as if they were viral attacks and treat changing participants like a survival threat, healthy support can't happen.
This failure to support adult re-engagement isn't necessarily about communities' deliberate ill will (though I've heard enough deliberate abuse stories for a lifetime). It's about the lived impact of design and custom: if the outcomes of support and affirmation that many of us seek do not match a community's structure, values, habits, and participant strengths, we won't receive the outcomes we're looking for. We can't receive them in that community: the precipitants for them aren't embedded, so the outcomes can't emerge in a coherent way.
I've worked with open communities before; it's beautiful. I've also tried to draw closed groups into new structures beyond their capacity. This doesn't work, and it's also obnoxious! Like people, groups have a receptivity threshold. They can accept a degree of variation in others, and a degree of adaptation in themselves, but beyond that threshold, proposed change meets with significant resistance, rejection, or contrary over-corrections. Working within the limits of the group you're in means being able to support and participate in more sustainable expansion. Creating new spaces outside of that group, pouring new wine into new wineskins, is another option.
Some people find these strategies to be mutually exclusive, but I've long found it healthy to interface with several groups at a time, sharing with each some of what I learn with the others. This practice forces me out of a surface knowledge of my groups. As I navigate among them, I have to learn where their boundaries are, which values are core and which are peripheral. In order to know what to bring back and how to share it, I have to understand what they already have and what barriers have stopped them from from uncovering a given thing already.
This has worked for me so far. What about you? If you're one of those people who wants different outcomes from your community relationships, have you reflected on what those outcomes are or what they might look like off the page and flowing live among people? Would you recognize alternative precipitants if you experienced them? A safe space to process, to explore, to learn, to practice, to root, to refresh, and to grow—what would that look like to you? How could you contribute to it?
After you've dissented, what will you design?

Living Large In A Small Space
- Posted on

With the move towards more compact living on the rise, more homeowners are faced with the challenge of how to make a small space look and feel more spacious. So, how do we maximize our square footage without sacrificing our design vision? The key is to create visual continuity and flow by using different shades of the same colour throughout your space to create a feeling of cohesion. This will make even the smallest space feel open and bright.
The first step is to start with the foundation of your space; the flooring. Use light colours on the floor. This provides a great neutral base for the rest of your design scape. If using wood or laminate flooring, use longer, wider planks. If using tile choose a large format design, with similar coloured grout. The fewer grout lines you see, the more expansive your floor will appear. The larger scale of the flooring will actually visually expand your space.
Next, turn your attention to your walls. While darker colours and rich, saturated hues make a room look cozy, they also absorb the light instead of reflecting it. This makes a space appear smaller than it is. A warm, taupe based grey works beautifully to make the space feel light and airy. Paint or wallpaper your ceiling. This will draw the eye upward, making your room appear taller. Natural light creates the feeling of depth in a room. For your window treatments, hang sheers or roman blinds made of pale gauzy fabrics. If curtains are necessary, choose a fabric in a colour that matches the wall colour. Hang the curtains as close to the ceiling as possible to create more height. This creates visual continuity over the length of the wall.
In a compact living environment, the right furniture will serve your lifestyle needs as well as making your space appear lighter, brighter and larger. For the living room, pick a sofa with a narrow arm profile and higher legs done in a pale neutral fabric. Accent chairs should have a similar arm and leg profile and can be done in a pattern that incorporates the sofa colour. Another great option is a large sectional that fills the space. Pull your furniture away from the walls to create the illusion of having more room. Try placing a sofa table between the wall and the back of the sofa. Create a warm, cozy feeling by layering toss cushions and throws in soft textiles in tone on tone or neutral patterns. Open frame or glass accent tables offer the perfect compliment to this look.
For the dining room pick a small dining table with self-storing or drop down leaves to give you the option of having enough space for entertaining guest and is perfectly compact for everyday use. Choose the same style and finish of dining and counter stools. This will provide visual cohesion between the pieces in the space, making it feel more open. In the bedroom, an upholstered headboard in a pale hue paired with mirrored or light wood nightstands and dressers will create a welcoming environment with out being heavy.
A small space does not have to feel small. Following these simple guidelines will have you living large and comfortably.

THANKSGIVING STORY By ALICE DALGLIESH
So people wanted to find a place where they can worship God alone. So they set off on to boats- one the MAYFLOWER, and the other the Speedwell. Now, the Speedwell was a small ship so the captain put up a warning flag.
They went ashore. They took guns in case of the Indians. There was a man who was teaching them how to use guns.
They were so happy that they wanted to have a special day for God. They had a feast. Then there were Indians. They brought food. They had thanksgiving.

A so-called interim financing is more often found in the field of mortgage lending, for example, if the payment of the requested real estate loan or the home savings loan still takes some time and the customer therefore decides temporarily for a replacement financing. But even in the case of a short-term liquidity bottleneck that only lasts for a few weeks or months, the corresponding financing is referred to as interim financing. Mostly it is a small loan or a so-called mini loan , which is used for financing.
Numerous occasions for a meaningful interim financing
In practice, there are many occasions when interim financing may be necessary and useful. If, for example, a car repair has to be carried out, money is needed so that a flexible and fast interim financing can be provided, for example by a small loan or a mini loan. But other occasions, where a relatively small amount of money between a few hundred and up to 1,000 euros is required in the short term, can make interim financing meaningful, such as:
• Mobile phone purchase (old mobile phone defective)
• Advance the costs of dental treatment
• Finance a spontaneous holiday trip
• Purchase new kitchen appliance, for example stove
In general, interim financing makes sense, above all, when spontaneous expenditure must be financed quickly and easily that does not exceed a certain countervalue.
How does a bridging loan work in detail?
A big advantage of bridging finance, which includes either a small loan or a mini loan or microcredit, is the great flexibility and speed with which the credit amount is credited. Normally, a Schufa query will first be found, but some providers of small loans will also award the bridging loan as a loan without Schufa, that is, without querying the Schufa data. Speed also contributes to the fact that the customer often no longer has to take part in the time-consuming post-ID procedure, but instead most providers of mini-loans nowadays offer the WebIdent procedure. The credit decision usually takes only a few minutes, so the applicant knows immediately whether or not he receives the microcredit.
Interim financing via micro-credit cheaper than discretionary credit
Another advantage of interim financing by means of a small loan is that it is often cheaper than the use of the disposition credit. Particularly in the case of short-term liquidity bottlenecks and capital requirements, most consumers first of all think of availing themselves of their discretionary credit provided on the current account. However, the credit line is usually more expensive than a mini loan or a small loan. On the other hand, the credit limit on the current account is often already exhausted. If you use a loan calculator that is provided free of charge by most providers of short-term interim financing, you will quickly realize that a mini loan can save you between three and five percent in interest compared to using the disposition credit.
For whom is a small loan suitable as interim financing?
Irrespective of whether the bridging loan is now carried out as a microcredit, mini-loan or microcredit : this temporary financing is particularly suitable for consumers who have a short-term capital requirement of between € 100,000 and who can repay the money at the latest after two months. These are exactly the features that apply to mini-loans, and borrowing is usually possible even if there is a negative entry in the Schufa. Only on the condition that you need a larger loan amount beyond 2,000 euros and this can not be repaid within a few minutes months, offers instead of small loan as a bridging loan due to the more favorable terms and the longer maturity rather a classic installment loan.

It's been almost five months since I've had the urge to type all of my feelings out in one place, on this page, and share them with the world. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I would ever blog again.
So much has happened, I feel like I'm an entirely different person than who I was when I graduated undergraduate. I'm lucky, I've been faced with so many wonderful opportunities for personal growth and I can't be happier that I'm growing, changing, in a positively wonderful way.
This is just an update so I won't make it as long winded as I want to. I'd like to get back into the swing of things and sharing my experience with all of you; I've missed it.
Last month I gave-up social media for a graduate level class about addictions counseling. It turns out that I actually love it, addictions counseling. I came into the class with the idea that it wasn't a necessary class and I was going to hate it but it honestly has just made me more aware of the need for people to be compassionate and empathic with others more often. I had this false knowledge about addiction being a choice, and it very clearly isn't. It really opened my eyes and maybe I'll share some more about it sometime.
Anyways, going without social media has been a real challenge for me and I plan to share that experience with you all in December when it ends.
In other news, Hurricane Florence is barreling towards North and South Carolina right now. At first I wasn't afraid of her. I told myself, as I always do, that she would bring us rain and some wind but that we wouldn't need to worry ourselves over her. Most every hurricane to hit us inland hasn't made phenomenal damage, but Florence may change that. My family isn't as prepared as I hoped they would be, but we have bread, apples, water, and hope that she'll only bring us heavy rainfall to make our plants lively.
Those are the two biggest things going on in my life, but I'd love to hear about what's going on in yours. Comment below or shoot me an email telling me all about what I've missed since I've been gone.
I'll be back, sooner than before.
With love,

Dermal Fillers Brownsville
Overt time your face changes in many ways due to normal aging, genetics, and environmental factors. Lines and wrinkles become more noticeable, but there are also other aging signs such as mid-face volume loss. Your cheeks may flatten and the skin may begin to sag.
At Skin Perfections Medical Spa we carry a variety of dermal fillers designed to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face:
Juvederm, Radiesse, and Belotero
JUVÉDERM® is the #1 selling collection of hyaluronic acid fillers in the US. Each product in this collection of fillers adds volume to a different area of the face to lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, or plump the lips. The results are remarkably natural-looking and long-lasting.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC injectable gel is for deep injection for cheek augmentation to correct volume loss in the mid-face of adults over 21.
JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is for injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is for injection into the lips and perioral area for lip augmentation in adults over 21.
RADIESSE® and RADIESSE® (+) are dermal fillers that are used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth). RADIESSE® is also used for correcting volume loss in the back of the hands.
BELOTERO BALANCE® is a prescription injection that is approved to temporarily smooth out and fill in moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds (the folds or wrinkles that go from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth).
"Dermal fillers can be very helpful to those with early signs of aging as they diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face."
Please call 956-542-2325 to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Irina Minina to find out which of these treatments is right for you.

My hunt for cocktail recipes with rum brought me across both a Skinny Pina Colada and a Skinny Hurricane. I know many have recently resolved to eat healthier, so what a good option to try!
For the Pina Colada, I made few adjustments to the original found here.
Ingredients: 2 oz. rum, 5 oz. coconut water, 2 oz. pineapple juice, pineapple slice and/or maraschino cherry for garnish
Directions: Put all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a glass with ice. Garnish with pineapple slice and cherry if desired.
In full disclosure, the Pina Colada was my first favorite drink of my youth. Before I could drink them with alcohol, I would order virgin Pina Coladas for special occasions. I didn't assume that this skinny version could recapture the warm, fuzzies from the past. But, I was really amazed with how fabulous it was. It is not as thick or sugary as the non-skinny version, but it is certainly sweet. The flavor of this skinny version is more pure and light. I didn't get a strong taste of the rum – in the future I might make this with an extra ½ – 1 oz of coconut rum. I also tried this with pineapple coconut water – it was good but not necessarily better than the plain. I did like that it was not too heavy on the alcohol. It would be a great drink to enjoy, responsibly, on a hot summer day. A coconut water is really good for you – BONUS!
Yet another recipe (click here) that drew me in by the photography….not as amazing at *that* one, but it made my mouth water. Either way, it seemed to fit the theme of skinny cocktails and, most importantly, the timing felt appropriate with Mardi Gras on the horizon.
Ingredients: 2 oz. cranberry juice, 2 oz. orange juice, 1 ½ oz rum
Directions: Put the ingredients into a glass with ice and stir. Garnish with a slice of orange and/or maraschino cherry.
It's been a while since I enjoyed a Hurricane at Pat O'Brien's…but this cocktail didn't seem like anything I recall from that experience. I understand the effort at making this less caloric than the real thing, but it still could use some tweaking. You can try it, but I think you may be disappointed. I am hoping to try this again soon, so stay tuned!
EDIT: So, I looked up some authentic Hurricane recipes. I tried to make some modifications to them to make them less caloric (by eliminating the dark rum) but accentuating the flavor (addition of passion fruit juice, grenadine and lime juice). Same directions as the first recipe…see how you like it.
Ingredients:2 oz. rum, 1 ½ oz. passion fruit juice, 1 ½ oz. orange juice, ½ oz. grenadine, ½ oz. lime juice

In the world of Leapfrog and Nabi products, Samsung saw a trend; smaller children are using technology more. Not just school-aged children, millions of toddler-aged children are navigating mom and dad's Android better than most. They can select an app, play a game and even know how to navigate to the web. The baby boom generation is just now becoming acclimated with technology, led by their experienced generation Z grandchildren. In enters Galaxy Tab 3, an Android equipped with deluxe colors, interactivity and toddler fun.
The Galaxy Tab enters a field just blossoming and provides a wealth of great features and specs. Some of the features equipped on the 7-inch tablet include:
- 1024 x 600 screen with 1GB of RAM and a 1.2GHz dual core processor
- A 3-megapixel rear camera, 1-megapixel front camera and 8GB of memory storage, with a microSD card slot
- Like the Nabi, it connects to WiFi only with no network access
- E-books, educational apps and games are loaded onto the tablet complete with parent mode that allows control over what applications are on the tablet
- The Time Management Feature is a great tool as parents can set specific times of use accessibility- If little hands try to grab the device, a parent implemented password has to be entered for access
Samsung had hinted at three versions of the Galaxy Tab 3. The third is now announced with the tablet just for kids, which may be released later this fall to the United States. Korean parents were enthralled to see the listed tablet as an option for back-to-school shopping. While no price has been advised on the Galaxy 3 kids version, pricing starts on other versions at $199. Toddlers and tablets are taking over generation Z; these tots are being raised into an ever-changing and accelerated technological age. Generation Y also known fondly as generation "Myspace" grew up in an arena where technology was just coming into its own.
With the advancement of phones, mobile wear, computers, laptops and tablets; over 70 percent of children under the age of five have interacted with a technological device. Many parents want to save their iPad and more advanced Android tablets from little fingers, so users started demanding a kid focused tablet field. Leapfrog was ready for the challenge and has the led the way for the kid techie arena. Nabi 2, Meep, Tabeo and Kurio also became favorites for parents. Now Samsung is paving a way to truly connect to families.
The Galaxy Tab 3 for kids is expected to make advanced technological waves. The device will have a stand for children to play with it on the table. The device, like the Nabi will be framed with an anti-shock frame, and child friendly grip. Galaxy is also introducing the C Pen, which is a cousin of its older S Pen sibling. The C Pen will allow kids to draw on the screen and create responses to the activities they interact with.
Samsung found a goldmine in an arena that is still relatively new. The just-for-kids Galaxy Tab is a remarkable way to gain ground and knock down contenders like Leapfrog. With a strong reputation, branding, bright and happy colors, the tablet is sure to make its way on a few Christmas lists, if released before the holidays. While the price has not yet been verified, rumors suggest $199 or even less; this price is drastically reduced from the higher end iPad selection.

CSA Week 8
Why yes we are missing a post for week 7! How astute of you to notice. We decided to leave the farm in some capable hands and take a quick vacation. We spent 5 days in Bozeman, MT where Dave and I lived for 8 years. I hadn't been back since we moved back to North Dakota and we thought it was a great time to take Eva.
It took some planning to make it work. We wanted to be in Bozeman for Sweet Pea Festival the first weekend in August, not a super time to be away for any farmer, large or small. We carefully planned out arrival dates and butcher dates for the broilers so that they would all be gone by the time the farm sitters were in charge (the broilers are the most involved stop on the chore round.) All the planning and hand-wringing while getting things ready to leave were so worth it!
We were able to take in many beautiful sights and hikes and lots of great music and art at the Festival! Sweet Pea does a great job organizing many different kids activities and we ended up coming home with a chair and sistrum that Eva helped to put together.
I suppose most of you are here to see about some vegetables, though. As sometimes happens, in my last minute rush, I didn't get a chance to photograph today's share. The tomatoes have just started ripening, the green beans are slowing down for a few moments and the zucchini are still a bit elusive so it was a choice between those three items and my one purple sweet pepper (Iko Iko is the variety.)
The corn is just starting to ripen, each share has a half dozen with more to come! This is the 'early' variety that I chose, it is not as sweet as some that are still waiting to ripen. I tend to like the less sweet varieties, hopefully some of you do too. It was great with a little salt, pepper and butter.
The beets were looking quite nice and the green onions are lovely, each share contains 1 bunch of each. Three cucumbers and one green bell pepper round it out. We finally hit the moment in summer when some of the more exciting produce is ready to eat. The peas have also slowed down, but I do expect to have more soon.
As always, thanks to each and every one of you reading, for your support of and interest in local foods. We could not be here, doing what we love, without your support.

At least 7 injured are reported as a result of the event, according to preliminary data.
At 04:03 this Thursday morning (local time) off the coast of Norway, the frigate of the Norwegian Navy KNM Helge Ingstad lost control and collided with the tanker Sola TS, reports the local newspaper VG with reference to Lieutenant Colonel and spokesman for the Norwegian Armed Forces, Vegard Finberg.
The rescue operation began before 5:00 and just over an hour later, all the people aboard the frigate were evacuated, except for 10 essential staff members who stayed to avoid a possible fuel leak.
The vessels involved carried about 160 people in total: 137 on board the military ship and 23 on the tanker. There are at least 7 injured among the crew of the tanker, according to preliminary data.
At the time of the collision, the tanker was leaving the Sture terminal, 50 kilometres northwest of Bergen, transporting 625,000 litres of crude oil. No spill has been reported as a result of the incident.
As far as KNM Helge Ingstad is concerned, Lieutenant Colonel Finberg has indicated that he was returning to his base after taking part in Trident Juncture 2018, the most important NATO exercises since 2002. "The frigate had completed the mission and I was back to the Haakonsvern base, "Finberg said.
The main phase of the Trident Juncture 2018 training – in which more than 40,000 troops from 30 member countries and NATO partners participated – took place from October 25 to November 7 in Norway and its surroundings.

Hey friends, it's Shelby Denny. It's hard for me to believe that last year I was just a scared little sophomore who was terrified to be a writer for the Entertainment Section of The Journal. Now, this year, here I am still just as scared but now an editor for The Journal, Social Media Editor to be more specific.This year I was fortunate enough to be the Social Media Director for RDM. As you can see the pattern, social media is sort of my thing. Aside from school, I adore music. I am in love with all music, but mostly from Ariana Grande and Billie Elish. They most definitely rule the world. You can find me either watching "The Vampire Diaries" on Netflix, or watching Buzzfeed Unsolved on Youtube because I have always believed that everything is not what it seems and I also enjoy making my brain think deeper about the wonders of the world. When it's a more calm type of day, I will write poetry. Sometimes I will write down how I feel one day, and then write how I feel the next day and make something out of that. Writing is a really good escape for me when I feel stressed and I find it very relaxing. Anyways, I hope this year being an editor helps me to step out of my comfort zone and really grow as a person.

If, like me, you don't like to be lulled into excessive states of comfort, then South Africa is a great place to be. This country, unless you've insulated yourself behind physical and cognitive barriers, is an unrelenting assault to the senses and one's sensibility, and you don't even need to leave your seat for the pleasure.
Just the other day I was assailed by Jenny from Amanzimtoti while I was driving to Stellenbosch on a cool, clear morning. I'd invited her into the car thanks to the wonder of FM waves and the good folks at the SABC, who were gracious enough to take a break from playing hokey pokey with their acting COO—you put your acting COO in, you take your acting COO out and you shake your board about—to fill the airwaves with my fellow countrymen and women's thoughts on health and the state of South African families.

The world of celebrity is a crazy thing. The media industry is a crazy thing. Society itself is crazy which concerns me to some extent. I like to see the best in people but this is something I am super passionate about. I don't believe society is heading in the right direction when girls are made to feel like they need too look like a Victoria Secret model and boys feel like they have to have abs. I know that not every girl feels that way but everywhere we look we have this stereotypical idea of what you should look like shoved down our throat.
Wether it be Kim Kardashian claiming to be make up free on Snapchat when she clearly is still wearing make up or maybe it's turning on the TV and seeing your favourite artist's music video. The thing I want you to remember is the faces you see on tv have a team of people making them look the way they do. The photos you see on social media are photoshopped and if they're not they at least have filters on them. A lot of celebrities these days alter their appearance with botox, surgery or both.
The other thing I think is important to remember is that celebrities have a whole team working behind them to get them to look the way they do. It doesn't just happen that they wake up and put their clothes on. Talking to some of the artists at the iHeartRadio Music Festival really opened my eyes to how this whole industry works. The artists are all so busy working on their music and touring that they don't have time to source their own clothes. They work with stylists who pick out their outfits for shows, red carpets and other appearances they might be doing. As for how they get that perfect skin their skin is far from perfect they have make up artists who literally spend hours doing their hair or make up. It's weird to think about it because really they aren't people they are performers. This probably makes more sense in my head than it does putting it out here but hey here we go. While celebrities are people they are so far from the normal that it isn't funny. We are interested in celebrities and celeb culture because their lives appear to be glamorous and I think deep down we would all like to experience that glamour. It's nothing to be ashamed of but I just want you to understand what goes into their appearance.
Turns out Rachel Platen and I were on the same page because today she took to Instagram to share a photo of the cover of Vogue India. Sonam was the covergirl of Vogue India back in June 2013 but recently she has spoken out about what it takes for someone to look the way she does and cover magazines like Vogue. Take a moment and read the caption Rachel has put with the photo because she pretty much sums up everything I am trying to write here.
I don't ever want you to feel like you have to look a certain way. Growing up I wasn't the skinniest kid. There was a time in my life where I didn't live a day without someone telling me I was fat. Did that hurt, yeah it did. Did it get to me of course. I still think about it everyday. While my exterior has change my interior is most definitely the same. I still think twice every time I eat a chocolate bar. I might not have the best body in the world but the thing is I have a fully functioning body and everyday I am thankful for that.
Appearance isn't everything. I feel we all get a little too caught up in the way we look. I love clothes and fashion so I get it looking good makes you feel good and it's a bit of a confidence boost when you feel like you're looking good but I'm talking about those social media photos. I know it sometimes takes me a few shots before I get a photo that I am happy to share on social media. I challenge you to live in the moment and just post the first photo you take. Wouldn't it be nice to go on Instagram and see a bunch of real people living their lives rather than hiding behind a perfect illusion. Tomorrow I am going to post an unfiltered photo of me as soon as I wake up feel free to do the same if it is something you believe in. Have a great week enjoy the skin you are in and remember beauty is deeper than the pores of your skin.
All The Love.

Not every weird person has Asperger's. But, let's be honest, every person with Asperger's is at least a little bit weird.
For World Mental Health Day, I'd like to remind you that people like us deserve to be treated with dignity.
Because we're not just those smart weird people you get a kick out of once in a while. We're not Sheldon Cooper or Sonya Cross or Rain Man. We're fully realized human beings, as complex and emotional as you.
We, in all our resplendent, awkward glory, are your peers.
I want you to look past our awkward exterior so you can hear what we have to say.
In a world where about 85% of people with autism lack gainful employment, 66% are having suicidal thoughts, and many of us don't have a single friend to our names, being written off is a huge problem for us.
I know what it's like. I experience it firsthand, all the time. I imagine classmates and even some Internet writers who know me being like "yeah, Gwen. She has a good idea once in a while, but God she's weird."
It sucks.
Sometimes we look like we don't have feelings. Trust me, we do. We just aren't good at expressing them. We don't always know how we feel.
That doesn't mean we're not trying.
And I know we come across like we don't know what's going on. Sometimes we don't. We get overstimulated so easily. I probably take in about 30% as much information as other people do before I get overloaded.
None of that means we're not worth listening to.
People are surprised when I say something insightful. Some people look at me differently after that. But others just shrug it off like oh, she's still Gwen. Still weird.
Sometimes I feel like one of those secondary characters inserted into a sitcom for comic relief. You know, the ones that the writers give a measured 10% smart lines to so it makes the 90% dumb lines even funnier.
We're not stock characters.
We're not robots either.
We've spent decades of our lives stretching our mental faculties to become self-aware, empathetic, productive members of society. We try so fucking hard you guys. If we're behaving with the dignity we ask for from you, then we deserve your regard as an equal.
We do learn things intellectually rather than intuitively. But there's value in that too.
I've put the social observations I've made over the years into my mental database. It's become a special interest. Other people do that with science. Or movies. People with Asperger's develop our own algorithms for figuring out how stuff works.
I guess we are a bit like computers.
But we've spent our whole lives working with the systems we've got.
Don't you think we've developed a few useful programs by now?
There are a lot of people in the world. But if you're impatient, you might miss out on getting to know someone interesting.

Exercise for Kids : Fun and Healthy Activity
I love the way how my daughter's kindergarten teacher tell the kids how to do the exercise, they told the kids (about 3 to 4 years old) to walk on the balance beam, then jump, enter a tunnel, do the tire jump, up to the trampoline, entering the mushroom house, walking with big shoes, entering pool full of colorful balls, take one ball (depend on what the teacher told them), jump on the toy car, and throw the ball into the basket. After those activities, they could enter the tent and play. Hosh..seem pretty exhausting for me as an adult but the kids love it very much. They look never tired and they still got their energy to sing along and do another activity.
I agree with those activities, because kids and preschoolers really need such kind of exercises to keep healthy and fit. But not only just move around and active, all the movements have to be trained, and sometime the kids movements need to repair. Sports not just make our kids healthy but can also develop fine motor skills. You can not just choose any sport activity, but also to consider the kid's age and their condition. The most important thing is let the kid think that this is fun and cool. They have to enjoy the activity and not feel burdened by it.
Exercise for kids age 2-3 years old
If your kid don't want to exercise, don't push him/her. Kid develops certain skill at different age of stage. Stop comparing your own kid to another. As long as their growth are normal and on target, let them learn according to their own ability.
Some children are reluctant to do the exercise because they fear to fail. And some are easily frustrated. As parents and adults, we can give them encouragement.
For little kids age 2-3 years old, the unstructure sports such as running, swinging, climbing, and play with sand and water are suitable for them. At the age of 2 years old, children are able to jump with one or both legs and they love to run. At the age of 3 years old, they are able to change direction from right to left, from back to from easily.
Generally, children are not ready to join in a structured exercise or engage in activities full of competition. When children are reluctant to join in a particular sport (for whatever reason), do not be forced them. Try to find out the reasons. I think it's okay to postpone the activity if necessary, and try it again in a few days or few weeks later. As parents and adults we can accompany the children during each activity.
Exercise for kids age 4-5 years old
On these stage of age, usually, the kids are able to roll a big ball, catch the ball, and ride a tricycle. Some kids start to learn how to swim or other complex exercise but not programmed or scheduled.
Whatever the sport is, the child should be happy. If the child is not happy, ask why and try to solve the problem or find another sport which is preferred. This is important if the child wants to do sports structured. Later the child who is depressed because they have to compete, could have formed a negative attitude toward the sport or injure himself (as always trying to please others).
As parents and adults, we can make sure that the children do not scheduled too much. It could make the kids stress and not good for their growth. We may prepare all the necessary things like the security such as : safety elbows, knees, or helmets, when they are cycling. Make it a habit.
Exercise for kids age 5-6 years old
Many have mastered skills like marching, balance exercise, climbing, swinging, hanging, rolling, turning, and many more. The kids are used to play with ball. Let them play freely and without any strict rules. This activity involves coordination and agility.
We can make sure the kids to have fun and enjoy themselves.
The benefits of exercise for kids
- Sport is the best way for kids to practice socialization and physical exercise and to keep fit.They could have fun and healthy.
- Improving physical health and be a base of their health in the future. Kids who are active in doing some exercises have an early start of a healthy-life habit. This is great to protect the kids from sedentary diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and many more.
- Maximizing the basic motor skills. The age of 4-5 years, children have mastered basic motor skills, such as walking, running and jumping, though not so perfect. Then, kids need to exercise to maximize the basic motor skills
- Healthy growth.Sports play an important role in the growth and development of children. With regular exercise, the heart and lungs will stay healthy, their posture and balance will be good, and their muscles or bones will be strong.
- Prevent the obesity. Obesity is dangerous not just for adults but also for kids.
Just make sure that during the exercise, the kids are happy and have fun. The kids may have the exercise 2 until 3 times a week I think. Consume a healthy foods and snacks, and take enough rest. Ask your pediatric if the kids need some special care like kids with diabetes or autistic kids. Doctor knows best. Pediatricians will evaluate the young kid's exercise level and sedentary activity level.
I know as parents, we are all sometime feel tired after long hours of work, but if we invest our time to at least play and do the exercise with our kids about half an hour until an hour a day, it really worth it.

It's interesting that 20 years ago kids were getting enough exercise whereas in today's world, even children need to make an effort to get enough exercise. Thank you for encouraging us to keep our kids active and healthy.
excellent. young kids love to move and exercise. while I was teaching in the classroom, we used to exercise at morning circle. they loved it! simple yoga moves are great for stretching and helping to balance their little nervous systems first thing in the morning. dancing to fun music is also a great way to get them moving. I enjoyed reading your hub and rated up!
I enjoyed reading this article. It is certainly the "in" thing today and compatible with the First Lady trying to help our nation focus on childhood obesity.
Back in the day, children got lots of exercise because we were outdoors engaged in play activity most of the day. Today's electronic toys has to a large degree eliminated this and alternatives are needed.
Great hub.

It has finally arrived in the stores! The ham radio dream machine the Icom IC-9100 is available at all the major dealers at a price designed to keep it a dream. At a best 'introductory' price of £2,999.00 for the basic model it is double what I think is a fair price and then there are the extras.
The Icom IC-9100HX which includes 23cm's is around £3499.95 and the list price is £3622.99.
If you want D-Star without 23cms the IC-9100 D-STAR is £3099.95 and that lists at £3176.20.
For the fully loaded IC-9100HX D-STAR is £3599.95 with a list price £3797.89.
This makes it one of those radios where travelling to the US or Asia to pick one up is actually cheaper than getting it from a UK dealer. If you really want one now, do not delay as although all the dealers have them there are limited stocks and at that price it might just be the last batch. All I can hope for is that it sells like hot cakes and I can pick up a IC-910X and IC-7400 as folk ditch them for the new toy.

I have had non-paying clients go to extremes. But never this far. Thanks to the Iowa Family Law Blog for providing this story from Google News.
January 18, 2006 - A 58-year-old man who bragged about being a deadbeat dad admits he went to extreme lengths to avoid paying child support. The shock came when the deadbeat dad was found alive.
On March 5, 1979, a family court judge found Johnny Martin to be in contempt of court for failing to pay $4,120 in court-ordered child support payments for two of his children, according to Sheriff James Metts. The judge ordered Martin to pay the money or serve one year in jail at the Lexington County Detention Center. Martin didn't pay. At the detention center, Martin was assigned to be an inmate worker in 1979 and escaped after he was let out to conduct his assigned duties.
A couple of months later, someone, no one knows who, told the family court judge he died. But Tuesday night Martin was found alive and well, just 26 years older, with a mustache. He was in Myrtle Beach with his girlfriend. Lexington County Sheriff James Metts says, 'He has admitted to us he faked his death in a bar fight in Alabama.' He did that to avoid paying child support, which was $4,000 at the time. Martin was a father to a six and nine year old.
After being informed about new facts in the case, a Lexington County family court judge on Tuesday re-opened the case against Martin for unpaid child support and issued a bench warrant for Martin's arrest for lying about his death to avoid paying child support. 11th Circuit Family Court Judge Richard W. Chewning, III, ruled in the bench warrant issued for Martin that the case against Martin for unpaid child support was 'previously dismissed under false pretenses.'
His current wife, Phyllis Martin, told WIS in a phone interview he boasted about being a deadbeat dad, 'He just bragged that he never paid child support. There was no ... man in a dress [referring to the judge's robes] that was going to tell him what to do.'
So just how did he get caught? Last week, Martin's first wife, the mother of his kids, saw another escapee on television return to jail in Lexington County. She'd heard rumors about her ex-husband and called the sheriff's department.
The sheriff says for 20 years, Martin lived in Myrtle Beach, ran an auto repair shop and remarried three times. Martin was arrested at his home on Avenue South where he lived with a girlfriend.
He uses his real name and, even now, deputies say he insists he's not going to pay. Sheriff Metts describes Martin, 'Very arrogant, very arrogant. He was not taken down very easily. A scuffle ensued to arrest him.' The sheriff says Martin also told them there is no jail big enough or tough enough to hold him.
Right now, he's being held at the Lexington County Detention Center. He faces charges for the escape and could be have to pay back more than $30,000 in child support. Martin will remain in jail while awaiting a hearing in Lexington County Family Court on Friday, January 20. During the hearing, a family court judge will determine what sanctions Martin will face.
'Johnny Martin is the ultimate dead-beat dad, faking his own death to avoid paying money to support his young children who were living in Lexington County,' Metts said. 'We have worked closely with the family court to ensure that Martin was brought to justice in Lexington County for his unprecedented efforts to avoid making court-ordered child support payments.'
A magistrate on Wednesday morning set bond for Martin at $1 million on the escape

2017 MLB All Star Game Festivities Begins With A Bang With The Home Run Derby
It's officially the midseason of the 2017 baseball campaign with the start of the all-star break that started Monday. For many players and teams it is a much needed break for players to both mentally and physically heal. And for the struggling teams, it gives them time to think about if they want to be a buyer or seller to better their teams and which direction they want to go. But for those players who have stood out with their great performances in the first half of the season they are rewarded with an invite to the all-star festivities which are happening in Miami this year.
The Home run derby on Monday started off the events of the all-star break. The 2017 MLB All Star Game Festivities Begins With A Bang With The Home Run Derby, many people are critics of the home run derby. Some saying it's boring and others just not having any interest in it. But this year was a bit different. Many young players were invited to participate. Among those who competed were defending champion and hometown favorite Giancarlo Stanton, heavyweight slugger Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Mike Moustakas, Miguel Sano, Gary Sanchez, Justin Bour, and Charlie Blackmon. The derby was full of surprises and explosive blasts as each head to head match literally went down to the final swing in almost each round. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge were the two favorites going into the event, but all the other hitters were up for their challenge. Giancarlo Stanton was knocked out earlier than expected, but it literally came down to his final swing. In the end it was the New York Yankee bigman Aaron Judge winning the home run title with his titanic blasts and his consistency to beat out the other challengers. Judge keeps his dream season going. He has already hit 30 homers at the break and is in contention for possibly a triple crown if things continue at the pace he's going at now.
The main event for the midseason break, of course, is the well anticipated All-star game. There have been many memorable all-star games in the past and hopefully this year's game will not be disappointing. The winner of the game wins homefield advantage for their league for the World Series, so it is extremely important for both teams to play the game smart and hard to represent their respective leagues well. This year's game includes many familiar names, but also some young exciting first time all-stars as well. Red sox starter Chris Sale will start the game for the American League with his 11 wins and 178 strikeouts. The National league will counter with Washington Nationals star pitcher Max Scherzer, who has already accumulated 10 wins and a 2.10 era. The big names that everyone will be watching are sluggers Aaron Judge of the Yankees and the Dodgers young star Cody Bellinger. But their are also many familiar names participating once again. Veterans Jose Altuve, Salvador Perez, and Robinson Cano are all having great seasons and again representing the American League. On the National league, familiar names such as Buster Posey, Bryce Harper and Clayton Kershaw will be taking the field in hopes of helping their team win homefield advantage in the World Series. Their are also many first time all-stars to help make the game even more exciting for both the players and the fans. On the American league side, the list includes Aaron Judge, Jos Ramirez, and George Springer. First time all-stars for the National league include Cody Bellinger, Zack Cozart, and Michael Conforto. Many questions pop up with each all star game like who will be dominant and win the All-star MVP and who will make the big key play or mistake. These games have been very competitive in years past and let's hope for another exciting finish this year.

***All words by Michael Kew in above articles***
When I find a place I connect with I go back...a lot. There are always new and inspiring places, people, and angles every time I return to these special second homes. The Pacific Northwest is one of those places for me. Above are some images from a few articles from my last trip there...I'm sure there will be more trips to come. I found this quote that sums up my attraction to this locale--->
"In the vast region touched on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the California and Nevada boundaries, on the east by the Rocky Mountains, and on the north by the Canadian border lies a land of almost unbelievable beauty and diversity."--Dorothy Krell (The Beautiful Northwest)

In Pennsylvania, as well as across the entire United States, a parent may not be able to take care of the child for one reason or another. This could be because of illness, divorce or substance abuse. Under those circumstances, in the best interest of the child, a grandparent may have to raise the child. The visitation rights of grandparents must be validated by the court. If it has to be proved in court, that grandparent, as a family member, is the best person to take care of the child. However, the grandparent will need a solid argument to prove the case in a Pennsylvania court, and for that, the elderly family member may find the support of an experienced attorney very helpful.
Legal counsel for grandparents who want visitation rights
Pennsylvania's visitation rights for grandparents
Some grandparents in Pennsylvania may be compelled to assume the role of parent when a child lacks proper parental care, or the grandparent believes a parent has been abusing a grandchild. If a parent suffers from mental illness or has a problem with substance abuse, a grandparent may have a new role to play. Pennsylvania family court, in the best interest of the child, may ask the grandparent to assume custody rights for a grandchild.
Aid for grandparents taking care of their grandchildren
Any Pennsylvania resident might agree that divorce usually hits children very hard. While their parents are eager to start a new life, children can feel insecure. Hence, in the best interest of the child, Pennsylvania courts often grant child custody to one parent. The non-custodial parent generally pays child support.
Lawyers defending grandparents' rights in Philadelphia
Pennsylvania law allows grandparents several visitation rights. In some cases, the grandparent may even be entitled to child custody in cases where the biological parents are unable to take care of the child or if it has been deemed to be in the best interest of the child by a Philadelphia family court judge.
What visitation rights do grandparents have in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, as in most states, when a couple divorces, one parent may be granted custody of any minor children and the other parent is given visitation rights. Still, what about grandparents? Will they also have access to their grandchildren? In other words, do these important family members also have visitation or custody rights?
What are the custody options available for grandparents?
Many Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, residents agree that grandparents play an important role in helping to guide and develop younger generations. Some readers may even recall how they often visited their own grandparents during vacation or when time permitted. Grandparents can sometimes become parents to their grandchildren under special circumstances such as a divorce or separation. Readers, especially grandparents, need to understand that they have rights that can be used in special cases to ensure that their grandchildren will grow and be loved in a nurturing environment.
The basics of custody for grandparents in Pennsylvania
A growing number of grandparents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are becoming more involved in raising their grandchildren. In many cases, children spend their vacations with their grandparents or visit their grandparents whenever they have time to do so. This can suddenly change when the children's parents separate or divorce. The grandparents' ties to their grandchildren may be abruptly cut off in such cases, leaving them with no option but to find a way to maintain their relationship with their grandchildren.
The importance of fighting for your grandparents' rights
In every state, Pennsylvania included, grandparents sometimes become replacement parents for their grandchildren when their own children can no longer act as parents. This often happens when their children are in the middle of divorce or are in difficult situations with domestic violence, serious illness or alcohol or drug problems. If the grandchildren's parents decide to divorce, this changes who has custody of the children. In many cases, grandparents are barred from seeing their grandchildren. When this happens, grandparents can seek to have their visitation rights upheld, especially if they have provided care for their grandchildren on a regular basis.
Delving deeper into Philadelphia grandparents' rights
Many Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, readers are thankful of their grandparents who molded them into who they are today. Some readers may still recall their weekend visits to their grandparents, or the times spent together on vacations and holidays. Nowadays though, often due to divorce or special circumstances, grandparents are becoming second parents to many grandchildren. In such cases, grandparents' rights must be exercised to ensure that the grandchildren are properly taken care of.
What is the importance of establishing grandparents' rights?
Historically, child custody and visitation issues arising from divorce only involved parents. But, recent legal trends now have family law courts considering the importance of grandparents in a child' life and allowing grandparents to gain custody or visitation rights, depending on the circumstances. If you are a grandparent who wants to be more involved in the growth and development of your grandchild, it is important to first learn what your grandparents' rights are. Knowing your rights will allow sound decision making for the benefit of your grandchild.

Rio Tinto has awarded more than $900 million in contracts to Queensland suppliers as the development of the Amrun bauxite project on Cape York Peninsula continues.
The company said the Queensland spend made up almost two thirds of the $1.38 billion in contracts awarded to Australian suppliers for the project to date, with 509 Queensland businesses engaged directly and indirectly to supply goods and services to the site.
Businesses bidding for contracts over $1 million must complete a Local and Indigenous Participation Plan as part of the procurement process.
Once awarded, contractors must report on how they are performing against their commitment.
More than 1600 people have been engaged by contractors to work on the project so far, with 77 per cent of that number coming from Queensland.
Rio Tinto chief executive Jean-Sébastien Jacques said the company was proud of the contribution this tier one asset would make in supporting of Queensland communities.
"Sustainability is crucial to this project and strict guidelines are in place for all suppliers," he said.
"They must demonstrate they are commercially competitive, technically competent and most importantly, align with the safety standards of our group.
"Rio Tinto is a substantial contributor to the Queensland economy paying $1.3 billion in state taxes and royalties over the past five years."
The Amrun project involves a mine, processing plant and bauxite stockpiles, a power station, warehouses, as well as new barge, ferry and ship loading facilities.
Amrun will replace the depleting East Weipa bauxite mine and will increase overall bauxite exports from Cape York by around 10 million tonnes a year.
Production and shipping are expected to commence in the first half of 2019, ramping up to full production by the end of the year.
Information on new tenders is available at https://gateway.icn.org.au/project/3677/amrun-south-of-embley-project.
A work package is open for the supply of rip rap (rock) for the construction of Arraw Dam.
