How to Stop Food Tantrums from Starting!
I know what you are thinking;
stopping food tantrums from even starting in babies and toddlers is a big ask - perhaps you think I am a little or largely ambitious or even delusional
Well I am here to say that so far it has worked!
I have not seen a single tantrum, tear or crying spurt when it comes to food. I can eat and drink in front of my son with zero sharing. I can honestly say that he is content when I eat and drink.
What he does do is let me know when he is hungry or thirsty; his behaviour changes and as his mum I have learned to recognise the signs.
I have also created a schedule around his eating and sleeping patterns to help with his development and eating habits (Strategy 7). One thing we haven't mastered as yet is he is often impatient and quite vocal when I am getting his food ready (we are working on this). What he does not do is have Food Tantrums. Yay!
So follow my nine helpful Food Tantrum strategies below to help prevent or even stop Food Tantrums!
When I talk about a Food Tantrum, I am describing a child's negative behaviour when other people (especially mum and dad) are eating. They have a desire to have the food from another person or have the same food. Let's call it the
"I want what you have"
Food Tantrum. They proceed to yell, cry, whinge, stomp, flop onto mummy or daddy, or have a full body on the floor, arms and legs , tantrum to get what they want.
I am not talking about your baby communicating with you that they are hungry or thirsty. Depending on how hungry your baby is, how old they are and the time, will influence how you respond. Perhaps they can wait the 10 minutes until morning tea! After all, breakfast wasn't that long ago! On the other hand, if your child is getting regularly hungry early, you should consider whether they are getting enough food.
So your baby is about to start solids and you are beginning to think
it would be nice if you could continue eating that delicious piece of cake without having to share a single bite with your little one?
Try the Eight Anti-food Tantrum Strategies at the beginning of starting solids with your baby to help avoid the following.
The Eight Anti-food Tantrum
help to avoid:
Your baby or toddler always wanting to eat and drink what you have.
Your baby or toddler wanting to eat only from your plate.
A tantrum when you are out and about because a friend or someone else is eating.
Being obsessed with food.
Asking for food all the time.
Refusing to accept no.
Mum or dad hiding in the pantry.
Mum and dad feeling embarrassed.
Having Food Tantrums!
The Eight Anti-food Tantrum
Strategies help to
Mum and dad to eat the food they need for a healthy diet.
Mum and dad to enjoy their own treats.
Mum and dad to go out with their children knowing that they won't make a fuss over food.
Children to learn positive eating habits.
Children to learn when they are full and to stop eating.
Children to learn that they do not always get what they want and that this is okay and normal.
Food for Thought
Parents are creating Food Envy in their children. Food Envy continues into and is very evident in schooling! Food is a very powerful motivator in schools for many teachers because parents have allowed and encouraged this behaviour!
At times, some students are not motivated to learn or complete a task unless there is a reward like food involved. Instead of being intrinsically motivated, children are needing the extra incentive of food to get them to succeed.
Food envy is when a person or child stares at someone else's food and desperately wants what they have. They are jealous and think it to be unfair that they do not have the same thing.
Children begin to think they are hard done by or deserve what the other person has. This is NOT a healthy emotion nor attitude for children to have.
The best way to prevent food tantrums is from the beginning by using the following nine prevention strategies.
So if you are reading this and have a newborn or baby who hasn't started solids yet, then great!!! You can start from the beginning with nine strategies to help prevent food tantrums!
, if your baby or toddler already has food tantrums, then you can also use these strategies for inspiration. Although it will be harder, it can be done!
Nine Strategies to Help You
Prevent Food Tantrums!
1. Don't feed your baby from your plate!
Many people suggest feeding your baby what you are eating to encourage them to feel safe eating solids.
I am going to carefully say - don't listen. Or at least think about the consequences and way up the cost you will pay later on. Unless your baby is refusing to eat or is not liking many solids, then I suggest not to feed your baby your food. This can be your breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as snacks, treats or comfort food!
If your little one is refusing to eat or doesn't like many solids, there are other strategies you can try before sharing food from your plate.
By sharing from your plate they are learning that what you have is their food too. This is the beginning of food tantrums because what you have is theirs! Soon you will only eat without them there which reinforces their behaviour - food envy! Instead, you should eat in front of your baby regularly so they do not learn that they MUST have what you have.
Put their food in their own bowl – always. If you realise that they haven't got enough and want to give them something from your plate, put it in their bowl first rather than putting it straight from your plate into their mouth.
2. Watch for when your baby is full.
Your baby needs to learn what their feeling full signs are. Their body naturally tells them when they are full. However, we can encourage babies to ignore these signs if we feed them too much regularly.
Don't give them just one more spoon when they are showing signs of not wanting anymore. There is a difference between not liking the food and feeling full. Watch your baby's behaviour to learn the difference and monitor how much food you have given.

3. Eat your own snack food when they are full.
It is important to teach your little one that it is okay that mummy (or anyone else) eats at a different time to them. They don't have to eat at the same time as mummy nor eat what she has.
Remember that they don't know what cake tastes like. What they don't know, can't hurt them!
Eat in front of your baby and don't give them what you have. For example, have a time when you eat first just after they have had their milk feed (so they are full) and have your breakfast for example. Regularly have meals and food that you do not offer your baby nor offer something instead.
4. Don't rush
It is vital that you show your little one that when they are hungry adults don't have to rush to get the food to them. So don't rush. Panicking and rushing will encourage the same behaviour in your child. They want something and they want it now!
When your little one is hungry and they see you getting their food ready they can start to use vocal sounds (sometimes unpleasant) to explain they are wanting the food you are preparing for them. Instead of rushing around trying to get them the food as soon as possible to stop the sound, take a deep breath and slow down. Talk to your baby and explain what you are doing. If they are really hungry give them a little snack (such as fruit) while they are waiting – but don't rush to give them this snack. They are learning to communicate with you and by rushing to give them the food you are reinforcing the unpleasant behaviour. "When I cry and throw a tantrum, I get food," thinks baby.
By talking to your child and encouraging them to laugh and talk back while they are waiting for food, highlights to them that they need to wait and the food will come. Remember, your little one is very aware of your body language and behaviour.

5. Say no!
When you are out and about or just at home, you CAN say no! If someone offers your little one a treat, you can say no. If your baby shows signs of wanting what another child has, move them away, say no or distract them with something else. Not saying no in front of others, teaches your child that you will not say no in front of others! If you start giving your child something every time they want it, they will have tantrums.
Your little one will accept it as the norm if you start from the beginning! Although, every person is different so some babies may be more interested than others and it is your response that can either encourage or discourage this behaviour.

6. Have a designated eating spot.
Having a designated spot to each teaches your child that there is a time and a place for eating! This can be more than one place but feed your baby in a few main places.
A designated eating spot should be in a highchair at your place or something similar. At your friends' places and restaurants, you could take a traveling chair (such as a bumbo). Basically, having a formal seat that restricts them from moving around. This shows them that there are times for eating and there are times that don't involve eating (such as while playing or waiting in the line at the grocery store etc). As your baby gets older they will be able to control themselves and stay still in the one place - eliminating the need to be as formal.
I hope these six preventative strategies have been helpful and are practical enough for you to implement! I would love to hear how you are going in introducing your baby to solids! It is a very exciting time!
7. Have a meal and snack schedule.
Your little one may act like they want to be in charge, but she needs routine and structure. This encourages your baby to feel safe and secure because she knows she will be eating again soon. A food schedule also teaches your baby to understand the signs of her stomach feeling full and developing healthy eating habits.
An example of a 10 month schedule is:
7am – Breastfeed
8am – Breakfast (oats and greek yoghurt)
9:45am morning tea (fruit)
12 – lunch
1:45pm Breastfeed
3pm afternoon tea (homemade snack)
5pm Dinner
7pm Breastfeed
Once you have a schedule in place and you know that they will be full between each feed, you will feel more confident in saying no at other times. If you have never had a routine, then I suggest implementing a routine on a day you are at home. This will make the transition easier for both you and your baby to follow.
8. Provide your baby with a healthy diet.
Understand what food you are feeding your baby. Find out what is important for your baby to eat and what to avoid to help them develop.
I personally used a book called
by Annabel Karmel. This books is an easy and simple read.
Why you should purchase this book:
You can easily refer back to specific topics and information.
Annabel explains what to feed, when to feed and how to feed your baby
A clear guide to first foods.
Engaging pictures and tables.
Great recipes that babies love!
What foods to avoid and when.
Some information about allergies.
Truths and myths about weaning
And so much more!
Colourings, preservatives and sugars can all have an impact on a child's behaviour and addiction to certain foods. So it important to know what is in the food that you are buying and making. Is your baby having food tantrums because they are addicted to sugars and certain food? If so, then you need to consider changing their diet and making sure you know what food is going into their mouth.
9. Do not reward Food Tantrums with food!
While there are many factors involved, such as the age of your child or whether they are genuinely hungry, you should never give in and give your child food because they demand it.
Punishing a baby because they are hungry and therefore crying, is definitely not what I am saying! However, if you know your child has just eaten a full meal or snack and shouldn't be hungry, and is screaming because they want a biscuit you got out of the cupboard - then yes,
give in!
Giving your child a biscuit because they want what you have, only encourages this greedy behaviour. While you may stop the food tantrum initially, you will have a lot more, more regularly.
Strong4Life wisely states, "When you bribe your child with treats for good behaviour, he's quick to learn that tantrums earn a reward. He also learns to use food to cope with emotions and that he's not capable of behaving without bribery".
Are Food Tantrums already happening?
Pulling your hair out because you can't just sit down and have a coffee and biscuit without a food tantrum?
Okay, so you have missed the boat - you were so excited about feeding your little one for the first time that you gave him food whenever he wanted and however. You fed your baby from your plate, fed them while they were playing, didn't say no even though you knew they were full and so on. There is still something you can do now to change your baby's behaviour. There is still hope! YAY! But it will require some determination from you!
The best way to tackle this is to change things slowly. You have been doing things a certain way for a while and your baby is most likely comfortable with this pattern. Your baby feels safe by things being the same (babies love patterns and things they can expect). Rather than shocking your baby and creating a screaming match in the middle of the supermarket. You should introduce the change and the nine above strategies slowly. Introduce new changes that will be consistent and become the new pattern for your baby to rely upon.

Bartlesville Public Schools Foundation. It debuted at the Foundation's Educator Hall of Fame event in early April 2017.
The video, created by Cable One Advertising, features three Bartlesville educators who wrote recent grants funded by the Foundation: Bartlesville High School chemistry teacher Gary Layman, Jane Phillips Elementary School librarian Angela Gerber, Central Middle School vocal music teacher Ariel Ortega, and Bartlesville High School social studies teacher Lindsay Stuart. High school students Jennifer Ambriz, Michael Baughman, Dax Butler, Reagan Colaw, Sabrina Chuan, Hannah Gritzmaker, Claire Hopkins, Ariel Jimison, Baylee Reynolds, Emma Stevens, and Howard Thill spoke about the impact of the grants, along with youngsters Beth, Conner, and Raven.
Since 1985 the Foundation has funded over two million dollars in creative projects outside of the traditional state, local, and federal sources to support state-of-the-art instruction and facilities for the Bartlesville Public Schools. It is now an affiliate of the Bartlesville Community Foundation. Blair Ellis has been named as a new full-time director for the Foundation and will have an office at the school district's Education Service Center at 1100 S. Jennings.

Funko Debuts Walking Dead Dorbz Exclusives
As one of the biggest shows currently on television, The Walking Dead has accumulated a pretty significant merchandising game. A large part of that is due to the popular collectible company Funko, whose vinyl Pop! figures and other collectibles have helped capture some of the series' best characters.
And now, two of season seven's most prominent characters are getting the Funko treatment - in the company's popular Dorbz line. Funko has unveiled Dorbz figures for both Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Both of these figures will be available exclusively at Walgreens stores.
While Funko products have been made of both of the characters, these Dorbz provide a bit of a stylistic alternative to the big-headed Pop! figures. These also mark the first The Walking Dead Dorbz made in quite some time, with the initial line in 2016 consisting of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), and an RV Walker.
As with many of Funko's products, both of the Negan and Carl Dorbz will feature "chase" variants. This means that there are particular odds - most likely 1/6, as is Funko's current norm for chase figures - of getting a special variant version of the figure. Carl's chase variant features the character's eye patch, while Negan's chase figure shows the character in a "bloody" alternative.
You can click through our gallery to see the first look at the Negan and Carl Dorbz. All of these figures will be available at Walgreens locations starting in early June. Whether or not you use them to reenact a certain scene from season seven is entirely up to you.
MORE WALKING DEAD: Negan's Backstory Reveals Completely Different Character / TWD Star Quits Social Media After Death Threats / TWD Showrunner Joins FTWD / TWD F-Take Clips With Rick And Daryl / Major Criticism Fixed For Season 8 / TWD Casting Two New Characters
The Walking Dead will return for its eighth season in October of 2017. The first trailer is expected to arrive at San Diego Comic Con in July. For complete coverage and insider info all off-season long, follow @BrandonDavisBD on Twitter.

Planning and Executing a Complete Animation in Maya
Course info
Course info
Storytelling is an essential part of the animation process, as it informs your artwork and excites the audience. This course, Planning and Executing a Complete Animation in Maya, will teach you animation and storytelling skills as you solve the "X Marks the Spot" problem. Throughout the course, you will take a scene with an "X" arbitrarily located somewhere in the scene and, in a short amount of time, move the main character, "Arty: the walking ball" to the X in a compelling manner. You will also deal with three phases of storytelling: beginning (build-up), middle (climax) and ending (resolution). As well, you will create a character and an environment that will allow them to tell that story as effectively as possible, and in the process, begin to learn that, as an independent animation storyteller, you have the benefit of controlling all aspects of your character and environment to tell your stories. By the end of this course, you will have improved your rigging and animation skills as well as learned how to create a captivating story for your audience. Software required: Maya 2016.

Medical device companies targeting the EU market are being confronted with significant regulatory changes for market access. As of May 25th 2017, the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) has replaced the long-standing Medical Device Directive (MDD). The impact of the Medical Device Regulation to the medical device industry is substantial as it requires the re-classification and re-registration of all medical devices currently on the market.
Moreover, the Medical Device Regulation outlines new clinical data requirements for (maintaining) certification of medical devices. Besides requiring more clinical data collection throughout the product's lifecycle, it also raises the bar for the level of evidence that is required.
What does this mean for your company? In this white paper we will discuss four ways in which the Medical Device Regulation will impact your clinical study requirements, and we will provide links to useful resources. In particular, we will discuss that:
1. More medical devices will require clinical investigation;
2. Equivalence will be harder to demonstrate;
3. The level of evidence required for medical device studies will be higher;
4. There will be more focus on post-market surveillance (PMS).
We will further discuss how to best process this new clinical data in a way that is compliant and cost-effective, using an electronic data capture (EDC) system.

Monday, August 25th News
Hey! I hope you all had a great weekend! Let's get started with the VMA's!!
Of course Beyonce shut down my time lines last night! LOL! I turned the channel for one second and I got onto Instagram and she was all I saw! She performed and and shut us all up though! Her family may be going through some things but they are still together. That's really all we need to know.
Anyway, Nicki was in a lot of performances last night, but she did her thing as well. They had a moment of silence for Michael Brown which was pretty cool and Miley Cyrus made an attempt to help the homeless…I'm sure she'll be successful at it. It was a great show….Even though Iggy fell off the stage LOL. Don't worry Iggy, it happens to everyone at some point. The way she got back onto stage was fancy though LOL.
Watch the fall below:
Chris Brown was shot at this weekend at a nightclub in West, Hollywood…but he wasn't hit. However, Rapper Suge Knight was shot and injured. Suge's family told TMZ that he was shot 6 times, once in the arm and 5 times in the stomach. Cops are investigating the shooting and right now they are paying close attention to Blood gang affiliation. Chris was throwing the pre-VMA party on his own at a nightclub that he attends almost every Sunday. Apparently, when he is there dancing and partying, he throws up gang signs and rocks a red bandana. Rapper The Game tried to get into the party but was denied entry…he didn't leave without a fight and you know he is a Blood. Suge Knight is a Blood. That's just the speculations going on right now….Get well soon Suge Knight.
The Illinois Little League Baseball team played their little hearts out yesterday against South Korea. They lost, but not without a little fight. This team full of African American members almost won the World Series Title! Almost is good enough for us! Maybe they'll have better luck next year..and make history and bring that title home to the USA.
Kevin Love will now be joining Lebron James on the Cavaliers Court! He is officially playing for Cleveland.
Michael Brown's funeral took place today. It was full of tears, but it was also full of hope. Rev. Al Sharpton said "Don't do violence "in Michael's name" among other speakers advocating non-violent behavior. To read the full funeral coverage, click the CNN link below:
And in the rest of the world, California experienced a terrible earthquake this past weekend, a police chief was shot and killed in Texas, and an American journalist was freed from custody in Syria.

It's a cliche at this point; you've heard it dozens of times. The fatal moment when some well-meaning individual asks, "so what are you in school for?"
Tell them you're majoring in english, history, fine arts, or a myriad of other liberal arts programs and you're inevitably hit with the painfully overused "oh- so you're going to be a Barista then?"
The notion that some fields don't matter or are utterly pointless is a concept that's proliferated through societies around the world over the past few years.
With the importance of STEM subjects, an acronym for the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math, politicians and policymakers across the nation have been criticizing humanities majors.
Florida's Governor Rick Scott said while trying to defund liberal arts programs in 2011 "Is it a vital interest of the state to have more anthropologists? I don't think so."
It's not just Governor Scott either. In 2014 President Obama himself said in one of his speeches, "I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree."
To be a humanities major is to face contemptuous glances and long-winded diatribes about narrow job prospects and minuscule salaries. Little do the nay-sayers know is that 74% of employers would hire a liberal arts major, and that by the age of 56, those with degrees outside of the pre-professional sphere are likely to earn $2,000 more per year.
Sadly these statistics don't resound on a global level.
Most recently, this September Japan's Minister of Education, Hakuban Shimomura publicly urged the nation's universities and colleges to downsize or completely shut down their humanities and social science departments. His logic being that such subjects did little to benefit society.
So far 43 universities have complied with his request, and no longer have programs ranging from economics to pre law to social work. Our current world view is catastrophic for the long term health of society.
With vital disciplines being stifled everyday the world loses a wealth of knowledge, and incredibly talented individuals are denied access to fields they can thrive in. Instead, people are being forced into professions they don't enjoy, negatively affecting the quality of the work being produced and their mental well being.
A world full of engineers and no therapists is as doomed to fail as a civilization with only farmers and no doctors.
Let them joke about the geography majors, critique the political science experts, and deride linguists.
Let them try to tip the equilibrium under the false gospel that the study of human quirks is of less value than the study of machines.
We'll take the tacky Starbucks jibes with a smile, knowing that without us, the world would be a much less interesting place.

9 October, 2013: north end jobs
I don't know when I switched to the writing "Oct 9" instead of "9 Oct". As a longtime Anglophile, it is time I get back the the Anglo/European date style even if it looks odd to some.
After an inspirational tour of Lisa's new garden, we went on to three north end jobs, with a stop at Peninsula Landscape Supply to pick up three more buckets of river rock for the Larry and Robert garden.
At Eric Wiegardt's gallery, I pulled some cranesbill geraniums and weeds here and there while Allan cleared an area that was ALL pesky cranesbill 'A.T. Johnson' and just a bit of ajuga, leaving…just a bit of ajuga.
The geranium is especially pointless in this garden because deer eat off the haze of insipid pale pink flowers.
Next, we drove north to Marilyn's garden. Something odd had happened on the south end of the garden. A path, like something had been dragged, went through to the next yard and a Barberry 'Helmond's Pillar' was knocked right over! Allan righted it again while I pulled some spent Cosmos and painted sage.
On the way back to Ocean Park, we stopped and had a look at a rental possibility for our friend J9, who hopes to move back to the Peninsula. Perhaps the block we looked at is not for her…
Onward to Klipsan Beach Cottages for more fall cleanup. I personally would choose to leave Thalictrum 'Elin' (below, left) up all winter. I love the colour of the stems and the structure. I have come to realize that not everyone sees the architectural beauty in dormant plants, so I cut it back.
Allan cut down some ferns and I pruned a buddleia and while I did some other work, Allan cut down a whole passel of Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' behind the bench.
I worked in the area to the south of the greenhouse (just east of the bench spot), tying up some flopped Melianthus major and Coreopsis 'Flower Tower', weeding and pulling out dead-ish foliage.
This area has two different Melianthus and a lovely rose (not blooming today). It used to be all raspberries.
The garden still has much beauty to offer.
I hope guests can see the beauty in the tawny stalks of Artemisia 'Guizhou', because i am not ready to let it go.
On the way to Marilyn's garden, the van had started to make an odd noise…a grinding sound. All the way from Marilyn's to Klipsan Beach Cottages, Allan was listening and trying to diagnose it. It seemed to be coming from the undercarriage. When I would ask for his theories or how serious it might be, I was admonished to "Listen!" Leaving KBC, more listening ensued and some slight speeding up, slowing down, and brake work. Could it be a brake shoe? The universal joint? I questioned whether we might have to take it into the shop, and if so, when, and would we be able to get across the river to pick up our lawnmower from the Astoria repair shop (without realizing my ultimate fear of breaking down on the bridge), and did the Saturn still work? (The Saturn shifter is getting stiffer and more problematic.) These questions were spread out over seventeen miles, but…"Listen!" One thought crossed my mind…could it be as simple as a…but…"LISTEN!" I thought to myself about what a difficulty it would be to take the van in for repair, and wondered again if it could be as simple as a br…. "LISTEN!"
When we stopped in front of Larry and Robert's house to drop off the river rock buckets, Allan looked underneath the van. He popped back up and suggested I do the same. There indeed was a BR…ANCH! caught in the spare tire which (kind of oddly) is located underneath the vehicle.
In our own driveway half a block away, Allan obligingly got a better photo.
I hope this was the cause of all our van trouble today.
I had just enough daylight to drag most of Sunday's debris to the new debris pile.
Sometimes, WordPress informs me, readers will have to view an ad at the bottom of a post (unless I pony up for a more expensive blog). So here's one of my choice. Water Music Festival is this weekend and is the event for which Music in the Gardens tour is a fundraiser. Both benefit music programs in the schools. We hear the Saturday evening concert is sold out, but the other two performances will be excellent and as I post this, seating is still available for those shows.

Breaking: Certain Instant Pots Are Overheating and Melting
The company is asking some people to stop using their devices. They havn't issued a recall just yet, but there's a way to check if your Instant Pot could be at risk.
After multiple reports and users calling the company out on social media, Instant Pot is telling customers to check their multi-use pressure cookers to make sure that they're not part of a batch of units that are apparently overheating.
If you own a Gem 65 8-in-1 Instant Pot, your pressure cooker could be at risk—the company has taken to its official Facebook page to explain that these models could overheat and experience "melting damage to the underside of the product."
The simplest way to check and see if your machine could be faulty is to take a peek at your Gem 8-in-1 pressure cooker's batch code. According to Consumer Reports, the code is located on the bottom of your Instant Pot on a clear silver label. Check to see if your 4-digit batch code is among the following: 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734, 1746.
Instant Pot has yet to voluntarily initiate a recall for those affected, but is working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to take next steps—Instant Pot has also said in a public statement that new information would be made available in the coming weeks.
If you do happen to have an affected model, Instant Pot is asking you to reach out to the support department by calling 1-800-828-7280 or by email at email@example.com. They've also advised you to stop using the pressure cooker immediately.
This isn't the first time that Instant Pot has had to deal with recall issues—two years ago, a Bluetooth-enabled Instant Pot model was recalled due to customers experiencing electric shock during use. The possibility of machine malfunction has become a hot topic issue for home cooks, as the popular NBC show This Is Us recently appeared to blame the death of one of it's most popular characters on a faulty Crock Pot.

Hannah is one of Malcolm's love interests. She appeared in the episode Bomb Shelter.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Malcolm saw Hannah walking through the mall and instantly started liking her. When he saw her join the mall's dance classes, he knew he wanted to join as well. Hannah started to like Malcolm too when she saw how much of an excellent dancer he was. Malcolm was able to get her as his dance partner, but soon regretted it because of how she was such a clumsy dancer. Every time they tried to pull off a dance move, she'd crash into him and hurt him, and it soon ended with her twisting her ankle, making her unable to continue on, so Malcolm eventually quit Hannah and moved on to Danielle.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Hannah is a hot, blonde haired girl. She is tall and thin and looks as though she's perfect for the job of dancing. She wears her hair in a ponytail at most times, especially while dancing. She wears a crop top that shows off most of her body, and also wears a long-sleeved jacket over her arms. She also wears shorts in the same color as her bra and her jacket, light blue.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Although Hannah seems to be a very passionate and swiftly moving girl, she is a total klutz, who can't dance without hurting her partner or hurting herself.

U-CF School Board gets formal look at proposed budget
By J. Chambless
The Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board.
By John Chambless
Staff Writer
The Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board got a formal first look at the proposed 2016-17 school budget on their meeting on April 11. The administration's director of business and operations, Bob Cochran, presented a thick book containing all the details to each member.
District superintendent John Sanville told the board, "The budget that we're talking about from now until June maintains our current high level of programs and services to our students. It also invests in our students and their future. You'll see initiatives in this budget that are going directly to the classroom and our children. There's funding for an expanded technology initiative to bring Chromebooks to the middle school, and expand the use of our Learning Management System. You'll find staffing adjustments to reduce class sizes and provide additional support, where needed, for our students. Finally, we have invested money for professional development so our staff will be on the forefront of effective techniques in teaching.
"We plan to do this through a tax increase of 2.88 percent," Sanville continued. "This reflects the use of $284,000 in exceptions, as well as $191,000 from our PSER reserves in order to offset rising PSERs contributions. In short, this is a budget that invests in our children in a very real way, while also appreciating the investment that is made by our community."
Cochran explained, "This budget contemplates a 2.88 percent weighted average increase in the millage. Specifically, it is a 2.8 percent increase in Chester County and a 3.15 percent increase in Delaware County. This uses $284,000 in exceptions to allow that level of taxing above the Act 1 Index, which is 2.4 percent.
"The budget, on an overall basis, with both revenues and expenditures, has taken out part of the conservative nature we have historically had. We have trimmed areas where individuals have given themselves a of a cushion in their finances. If it's a 'just in case,' we're going to remove that," Cochran said. "In that vein, we looked at special education. We've done some trimming, but given the volatility of special education, you will see an increase of expenditures of $150,000 as a budgetary reserve, specifically for special education.
"The retirement rate continues to be the single biggest increase, at $1.8 million," Cochran added. "That's going from 25.84 percent of payroll to over 30 percent. Although we are somewhat out of the woods and the rate of escalation appears to be slowing down in the next year or two, I don't think we are truly out of the woods completely. The PSERs reserve is $2.5 million in an assigned fund balance, and we are using $191,000 of that to balance this budget.
"We will do a formal budget presentation on May 2," Cochran said. "That is the date of the first budget hearing. If necessary, we will have follow-up hearings on May 3 and 4."
In other business, Rick Hostetler, the supervisor of buildings and grounds, detailed some expenditures that will be voted on at next week's board meeting, including $33,876 for replacement carpet at Hillendale Elementary School, and $15,476 for carpet replacement at Unionville and Pocopson elementary schools.
Replacement lockers at Patton Middle School are still being evaluated, but Hostetler said the cost should be about $90,000.
PennDOT's work on the Route 926 bridge and intersection near Pocopson Elementary School will include shaving a bit of land off the edge of the school's grounds, Hostetler said.
"The bridge project on Route 926 has been in the works for years," he said. "As part of that overall construction, PennDOT will improve the intersection at Pocopson Road and Route 926. That results in a need for PennDOT to obtain a right of way from the school district by eminent domain. It's not real large, but they are seeking land that's barely on our property, to construct a turning lane. We don't anticipate any significant impact, but we are meeting with the township to make sure they're on board with everything PennDOT is doing."
Sanville added, "That section they're taking is for a turn lane so you can make a right hand turn onto Pocopson Road, and that's a benefit to us."
Hostetler said the land "represents 5/100ths of an acre, and PennDOT is offering us $10,000."
The Patton Middle School renovations are nearing completion, Hostetler said. "As far as the office renovations, we still have a number of punch list items remaining. They are expected to be completed by the end of April. If not, we will begin assigning values to those items and work towards a credit changeover so we can close out the contract. There is an end in sight," he said.
Assistant superintendent Ken Batchelor told the board that the district's Curriculum Committee has been discussing Keystone testing. "We discussed a detail that's of large importance to our students, and that is senior exemption from final exams," he said. "We're looking at putting final exams for seniors back in place starting with the sophomore class, which is the class of 2018. In the next two years, we'll have a break from the Keystones from the state perspective. We still have Keystones in place, we're still following our plan, but we're going to work with the state over next year or so to see what changes the state may make with the Keystone exams."

I'm just wondering if Andrew responded to the change of ingredients for this vitamin. Seems there were quite a few voicing their opinions last month and questioning the amount of vitamins they would have to take to make this work. Of course in adding the dosage the price also becomes something to think about.
I second that!
I love coupons !! I love open ended coupons !!
But no way will ANY TV shopping channel give you a coupon to use on a TSV.
NOPE… will never ever ever happen….ever !
I agree that HSN could afford to give it's steady customers a special coupon once in
Awhile. I never seem to ever get a coupon. HSN could give a a coupon with no date and no restrictions. If I added up just the shipping and handling charges that I've paid I'd be rich. There are a lot of times that I may order a sale or clearance item and when it comes I don't like it or it doesn't fit and I don't send it back because it's not worth the price, so I just eat the item. Plus I don't know how many times I fill out to get a 15per cent coupon in my e-mails and I've never gotten any coupons. When I've spent over &100.00 in an order There shouldn't be any shipping and handling charges.
I did not receive a 20% off coupon today. :womanmad:
I totally argree with you. I also think the regulars should be able to rack points to apply for savings on products. HSN credit card not needed. I know HSN does like this idea, but there is NOT enough incentive for me to apply for an HSN credit card.
HSN please look at KOHLS reward system. This reward and discount system is why I am huge fan of shopping at KOHLS!
Great Idea!!!
Ditto that. We'd all be rolling in the Extra Money WE have to Pay for not only s&h. But All the return costs we have to pay!!!!!!
I agree, also. We would all like a chance to save more on any purchase!! Great idea, hopefully, HSN think so as well…lol
It would be nice if HSN's coupons were more inclusive ( electronics, clearance, health, etc. )
But, it's a nice perk they don't have to offer at all. QVC SURE DOESNT. The one thing I would mention is that I believe all TS's should have free shipping.
I have next to never gotten any coupon codes I did get spendable cash yesterday and immediately used it. On something I would not have gotten but had saved in cart. That little bit off was enough of an excuse to use code least in my mind. Coupons codes seem to increase sales. VS has codes and rewards and I have used just about everyone. Got a second pair of over the knee boots for under 20 dollars. Plus loaded up cart needed a belt to match boots and went for some 3/4 sleeve tops. But it seems to me if the company has good sales has a good profit margin no need to entice with coupons. If this was a small company I would be considered a loyal avid shopper. But the truth of the matter is. I am only one of many I am only an account number. So I go for the product offered knowing others get coupons codes ect. Nothing like a friend that you recommended HSN gets all the coupons. And nothing is in my mailbox not even spam. I have to admit it is insulting that is if they assumed I was a person. Once I tell myself I am an account number nothing more. It takes the edge off.
I agree!
I guess I am not a select customer soooooo I doubt if I will continue buying HERE . :womanlol:
HSN must think some of us who buy routinely will buy anyway …. :womanmad:
2 gripes for me.. first, i NEVER get ANY samples (and i do purchase from HSN frequently) and second, twice now with my returns or when the price dropped, i asked to have the refund on my spendable Kash.. it was put back on my card.. it would have been nice to have a nice little nest egg for future purchases
Coupon offerings or free shipping are nice breaks for those of us who are regulars, but please. O Kohls role modeling.

Opportunity? Adventure? Money? Such are the common reasons that 20-somethings give for moving to Las Vegas. On a dare, though? That's Chris Jones' story, and it took him through amost of the city's media landscape right to the doors of UNLV.
We tapped the 2019 master of fine arts candidate to illustrate our cover story on the outsized objects that can only be found on our campus. Jones applied a B-movie aesthetic that plays up the impressive size of UNLV's public art, pipe organs and placekickers while harkening back to the campus' founding era.
Jones moved to Las Vegas in 1999, after a couch-surfing stint following his graduation from Youngstown State University.
"[My roommate] says, 'Hey, you've been sleeping on the couch for a while. What are you going to do with yourself?'" Pittsburgh native Jones said. "I had just been out to Vegas for spring break the year before. I had, like, one friend out here. I ended up coming out here and living on their couch, and then the rest is history."
He began at Las Vegas Weekly designing personal ads and worked his way up as a designer for that magazine, then art director for Showbiz, Vegas Golfer, and Vegas Seven magazines, along with curating a gallery at Emergency Arts and producing the local arts publication Innerview magazine.
Entering UNLV's MFA program allowed Jones to do something he didn't have a chance to do as an undergrad on a football scholarship: Simultaneously focusing on academics and his craft.
"[That] was always something I wanted to do, but never got the opportunity to because I always had a full-time job or was in the middle of my career. Because playing football in college is like a full-time job. Then you've got to go to school at the same time. I would just dream about being a student."
With art professor and mentor Pasha Rafat, Jones has helped fabricate some of Rafat's public installations, including the pyramid sculpture at the heart of the CFA Garden.
After he dons his robe during winter commencement, Jones plans to stay in Las Vegas, presumably now on his own couch, and continue juggling art and design work, with a newfound perspective from his time in the College of Fine Arts.
"A lot of my craft has to do with the conditions of reality in abstract ways," he said. "Just kind of creating environments and creating subtle perceptions of things."

"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art" – François de La Rochefoucau.
We live in an era were we spend more time communicating with each other through our smart devices than through physical contact. Let's not even talk about how most of us prefer to sit in our work desks alone with our soggy lunches from last night's leftovers instead of laughing about it with colleagues who also brought unsatisfied meals. Sadly, Americans rarely eat together anymore. "In fact, the average American eats one in every five meals in their car, one in four Americans eats at least one fast food meal every single day, and the majority of American families report eating a single meal together less than five days a week" (Delistraty, 2014). It is definitely a pity to see so many Americans missing out on an opportunity as small as a 15 minute break to simply relax and have a meaningful conversation with someone. And a meaningful conversation is just one of the multiple other benefits eating around a communal table can bring to an individual.
Unfortunately, in America it seems snobbish or unprofessional if you take more than 20 minutes to have your lunch. There is also a cultural misconception that only bourgeois families can afford to have family dinners as both parents are able to be at home for that time. It is true many cannot afford to have both parents stay at home to cook and spend a desirable amount with their children. But that does not mean there doesn't exist a way to make up for that time, or even find it. We, individuals, always find the time for things that we feel important. Sacrifices have to be made, but for good causes. So yes, socioeconomic situations make it more difficult, but that should be of no excuse to let a child grow by himself. One does not need to spend an hour dining with their beloved. It is okay to have small meal times since we all have things to do. All that matters is putting in the effort.
Getting accustomed to eating alone has quantifiable negative effects both physically and psychologically. Many research studies mention how children who do not eat dinner with their parents at least twice a week were 40 percent more likely to be overweight since they make poor food choices by choosing convenience (McDonald's) over quality (a homemade meal). On the other hand, those who do have less trouble with drugs and alcohol, eat healthier, show better academic performance and report being closer with their parents (Columbia University). Dining with others cultivates our minds, allows us to pay attention to the whole eating experience, strengthens relationships and builds new ones. The communal table acts as a unifier, a place of community. It is the perfect excuse to catch up and talk about life.
At one point, people saw communal tables at restaurants as retrograde, awkward and a painful experience. Restaurants wouldn't dare placing a communal table as part of their setting. But people now clamor for more interaction in their daily lives – especially when living in such an exhausting city like New York. And so when the restaurant industry started to experiment and take the "risk", it was a total success. From Starbucks to Le Pain Quotidien to Momofuku to Son of a Gun in LA, the communal tables have found their ways in all types of restaurants around the country. It is a win-win for both the restaurant and the individual: the restaurant does more covers in the same space (more money) and the individual expands his/her network of relationships.
Human connection is necessary for human evolution, and the dinner table does it better than almost any place. Our company, FoodtoEat, has partnered with Product of Culture in order to push this statement further and break barriers. For one night, Product of Culture and Food To Eat will create a communal dinner table for 50 people to have a culinary experience curated by NYC based immigrant chefs. The mission is to unite people around the communal table and add diversity to the food community by championing small businesses that offer a unique and delicious selection of cuisine from across the globe. This experience is much more than just eating healthy and delicious food. It is about grasping the experience of building a connection with a stranger and also going through the culinary journey of three distinct immigrant chefs. It is why this article started with a phrase from a 17th-century French writer. It mentions the necessity of eating intelligently, which is not only eating food that nourishes our bodies and souls. It is also psychologically speaking of sharing a meal with a friend, a family member, a roommate, or even a stranger.

The Press Release:
When OZZY OSBOURNE relaunches his "NO MORE TOURS 2" in 2020, he'll be joined by special guest Marilyn Manson for the North American shows.
These dates are OZZY's first shows since he announced earlier this year that all his 2019 performances would be postponed allowing him to heal from an injury sustained while dealing with pneumonia. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter and 2019 Grammy® Special Merit Award recipient fell at his Los Angeles home and trapped his spine aggravating years-old injuries (from his 2003 ATV accident) that required surgery.
The "NO MORE TOURS 2" kicks off May 27 in Atlanta and concludes July 31 in Las Vegas. Next up, OSBOURNE will head overseas in October for the rescheduled European dates; Judas Priest will remain as support on the tour as part of their "JP/50 Heavy Metal Years" anniversary tour.

CHICO, Calif. – – A woman in California gave her daughter a gift to top all gifts.
Megan Barker volunteered to be her daughters surrogate and gave birth to her daughters son and her own grandson.
"This was the biggest gift anybody can receive is becoming a mom and to have my mom give that gift, it's unexplainable," said Barker's daughter, Maddie Coleman.
Coleman couldn't deliver a baby because her ovaries were at risk for tumors. She explored surrogacy but at $75,000 and up, she couldn't afford it. That's when Barker stepped in and told her daughter she'd carry the embryo.
9-months later, little Gus Wyatt Coleman was born.
Barker says she definitely developed an emotional attachment, but had no problem turning over the seven-pound bundle of joy over to her daughter and her husband, Tyler.
"The attachment for me was not an issue as people have predicted because in my mind it was biologically their baby. I was just a deluxe easy bake oven!" said Barker with a happy laugh.
The 48-year-old grandmother says she's willing to do it again if her daughter asks.

Before kids, my husband Henry and I decided to walk on the wild side one night when we accepted an invitation from friends to attend a BDSM (Bondage, Dominance, Sadism, Masochism) Valentine's Day party hosted by the ever discreet and refined Mike Boner.
I prepared for my Date with Discipline by over-tweezing my eyebrows and self-flagellation with a disposable Bic razor. My shins were flayed hairless. Henry prepared for his Salsa with Submission by letting me pick out his party clothes. When he asked if he could wear his Plantar Fasciitis Orthotic Walking Shoes, I whipped his ass with his own belt and forced him into a pair of overly-snug Florsheim loafers. I didn't want him to disappoint the foot fetishists we'd likely encounter.
(Trying on BDSM-wear on Carnaby Street in London circa 1986. A harbinger of things to come.)
We arrived at the party girded to be spanked into a coma whereupon sex-ghouls would descend on us with amyl nitrate poppers that would launch us into an orgiastic delirium from which we would emerge tattooed and pierced from stem to stern. And Henry would be pregnant.
This did not happen. What actually happened was much darker.
We entered the party/dungeon to a sight we'd see in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder flashbacks for years to come; an albino-white, morbidly obese, red-headed eighty-year-old man wearing nothing but a spiked dog-collar and a smile sitting in what appeared to be a gigantic bird cage dangling from the ceiling and an equally elderly lady (his wife perhaps?) decked out in a plush kitty suit energetically poking him through the bars of his cage with a sharp umbrella.
It should be noted here that IT WASN'T EVEN RAINING OUTSIDE!
Next, we came upon a group of people who appeared to be from a Land's End catalog wearing Polo shirts, chino shorts, and Sperry Topsiders. They passed a joint around, glassy-eyed. I prayed they didn't succumb to mob mentality and force Henry and I into turtlenecks, mistaking us for smother fetishists.
We darted to the bar where neither of us could buy an alcoholic beverage because alcohol gives Henry migraines and it exacerbates my Irritable Bowel Syndrome. A woman dressed like Nurse Ratched must have overheard because she offered to give me an enema. I politely declined while Henry I ordered us hot tea. (Herbal hibiscus, in case you were wondering.)
We embarked in search of our friends and after fighting our way through various chains and thumb-screws found them in the outdoor patio by a medieval torture rack where a straight-jacketed Asian man named Frank — who was a math tutor by day — endured mild pinching from a Queen-sized Dominatrix wearing a halo neck-brace. Her name was Edith and she'd been rear-ended in her car — for clarification.
As we tried to make sense of a couple who tries BDSM, the scene our host for the evening, Mike Boner, approached. He was notably malnourished, stark-naked and impressively hairy. I thought perhaps he had some kind of BDSM bit in his mouth, but it turns out he'd just gotten adult braces for an overbite.
He apologized for not shaking our hands because his right hand tenderly held his small, pink, flaccid penis aloft as if it were a sad, tiny, overcooked appetizer on a tray. I couldn't decide whether we should get Mike Boner straight to the ER to see if his member could ever be resuscitated or to the DMV to change his name to something more suitable i.e., Mike Noodle? Mike Top Ramen? Anybody? I could use a little help here.
Instead, thirty seconds later Henry and I were smacked in the face by a strong, frigid gust of winter air as we dashed from the dungeon and fled directly to the nearest Starbucks to order chai lattes and apple fritters to soothe ourselves.
Later in bed that night we tried to have sex in the missionary position, but the memory of Mike Boner's wan penis caused so many bouts of lacerating laughter that we settled for watching Matthew Broderick have awkward missionary position sex in Biloxi Blues.
It was at this very moment that Henry and I realized that although we were adept at once-every-ten-years role playing, we were never destined to become a couple who tries BDSM as sexual libertines. It was a loss we'd just have to learn to live with.

According to a report issued Wednesday by the real estate website Trulia.com, US home sellers reduced prices on 26 percent of listed properties last month, up from 25 percent in July. It's the highest percentage of listed homes getting a price reduction since an identical 26 percent of homes last October were reduced.
Declining demand in the wake of the expiration of federal homebuyer tax credits, a glut of supply fueled by waves of foreclosures, and continued near-record high unemployment have created a buyers market.
The average reduction in asking price in August was just over $33,000, or ten percent, unchanged from July. In total, homes listed for sale were slashed by a combined $29 billion, down from $30 billion in July but up from $27.2 billion in June. When the expiration of the homebuyer tax credits was approaching, sellers reduced prices by $22.7 billion in March and $25 billion in April.
The percentage of sellers with homes on the market who cut prices either stayed the same or fell in 24 of the nation's 50 largest cities, an improvement from just 16 cities in July. Analysts say that the Trulia report demonstrates that while the housing recovery will take time, it's evident that the long road to recovery has begun in some areas, though most economists agree that housing will not find any stability until significant job growth occurs.
Housing's recovery is being hindered by a number of factors. The expiration of tax credits for homebuyers has caused demand to dwindle, waves of foreclosures have spiked unsold inventory to unmanageable levels, and unemployment remains near historically high levels. And any homeowners owe more on their loans than their homes are worth, which keeps them from looking to move.
The silver lining is that home affordability is likely as high as we'll ever see, with home prices down nearly 30 percent from the 2007 housing boom and mortgage rates hovering around historical lows. The average rate in August for a 30 year mortgage was 4.43 percent, down from 4.56 in July and 5.2 percent in August 2009.

Thanks Sherril!
At first I wondered how she could just look at the picture and see that. But I've been looking at this picture and finally (a day later, yes it takes me a while) it clicked. I see that it's too large at the shoulders and neck. Wow. Double wow.
Well, I'm going to be making another fleece jacket, though with Simplicity 3628 this time - in a slightly thinner black fleece, and I think I'll take her advice on that one. One step at a time. Thanks again, Sherril!

Hi SewShy,ReplyDelete
I am new to sewing and blogging myself, after I read your blog, I can see, we have similar shape, I am not sure of the height but I am 5.8". I realise you cut your pattern too big, that's why most of them don't fit. My instructor told me to always look at the finished garment measure measurement on the envelop instead of the body measurement. For example, my bust is 39" and I cut bust size 41.5, or 42" usually (size 14 or 16)for the finished garment, this accomodates for both design and fit allowance . You can check some online tutorial especially Sandra Betzina's (FAST FIT)book,or thread magazine and some other online tutorials. For the simplicity 3628 pattern, I just did a review of it in my blog, www.sewfit.blogspot.com and on pattern review as well.
Just started sewing about two years ago and I am loving every part of it.
