Bean observation
Red means the changes on my observation.
This term I've observed that most people in our class are getting more into gardening because at the start of the term Kiri gave us all a bean and she said here's your new baby to look after. She also said you will have to set up growing conditions,when she said this I thought that it would be impossible to do but with a little help with my friends the bean was already to grow.
I hypothesise that my bean will not grow because it has no soil.
Step one I glued in my bean observation sheet into my book.
Step two Fiona gave me a Petri dish.
Step three Fiona gave me a bean
Step four I measured the width and how tall it was and what shape it was.
Step five I gave the bean some water
On the 9th of August I did my first observation on my bean it was 1.5cm long and 5mm wide. It was a scruffy white creamy colour the shape was an oval shape for me it was just a bean. My inference is that the bean will need sunlight and water to grow no leaves yet.
On the 18th of August the size was still the same but it had grown a shoot. The colour had changed to a more yellowy colour. The shape of the bean had started to curl more like a jelly bean shape. My inference is that the shoot is pushing the skin open. Note: there are no leaves yet.
On the 29th of August it changed to 2.5cm long and 7mm wide. It started to go green and the skin was falling off I thought the shape was a exploded jelly bean. It had also growing a leaf and some roots. My inference is that the skin is falling of and the bean is getting a bigger shoot root and leaf
On the 7th of September it was 11 cm long and 1.2cm wide. It had expanded into a gigantic plant and it had nearly grown to full size. It had four leaves and a massive stalk. My inference is that the beans in the Petri dishes grew better because 15 people in our class had beans in bags that died and 9 lived however only 3 died in Petri dishes and 12 lived.
My conclusion is that the beans in the Petri dishes help with germination better because the water was getting to the roots faster. In the bags the water was just going straight to the bottom of the bag and it wasn't getting to the roots.
My new inference/hypothesis is that a plant needs good growing conditions and water and sunlight to grow.

Andrew Rayel: "Trance was the perfect solution."
He's a safe keeper of the future of trance. A leader of the next generation of producers. And he's also just 20 years old. Andrew Rayel is the talk of trance town, for good reason. His jewels of 'How Do I Know', '550 Senta' and the recent duo of 'Zeus' and 'Musa' got the trance loving hearts beating again. With a sound that finds itself in classical, melodic and uplifting, he seems to have found the golden formula to a successful career in music. Andrew Rayel is living the dream. But that doesn't mean he hasn't got plenty more dreams left to realise…
Hey Andrew! How are you doing? Fully recovered from the adventure that was ASOT600?
Andrew:"Hey, I'm doing great ! Totally recovered and truly inspired from such massive events. And thank you guys again for giving me the chance to be the part of the most incredible show ever!"
You played the Mainstage, in front of ten-thousands of people. Moments like these must be incredibly surreal?
Andrew:"A few years ago it was one of my dreams to play in front of ten-thousands people in ASOT events. It's a special crowd, you can actually feel their love and energy, that huge reaction on every track and that special moment before the climax when everyone is ready to jump. When it comes it's just unbelievable how music can transfer people to another earth full of happiness. Will never forget my first performance on ASOT 600 in Beirut and of course amazing crowd from ASOT 600 Den Bosch."
Your new duo 'Zeus' & 'Musa' is out now! Production-wise, what should we know about this incredible E.P.? Did you compose the piano play by yourself?
Andrew:"The idea of 'Musa' came some time ago, right after my huge track '550 Senta', and both are the names of minor planets from our solar system. I started 'Musa' basically as an follow up to '550 Senta' and it turned out in to something different, with the same classic atmosphere and beautiful piano which I totally did by myself. Both tracks where made especially for ASOT events, my visions of the anthems. Talking about 'Zeus', it was more of an experiment. When I figured that old school main lead which I thought sounded good, I felt like something good can come from this one in combination with some of my usual elements."
In fact, you started producing at the age of only 13! What drove you into producing trance and EDM in general?
Andrew:"Well at the age of 13, I was studying piano in music school, and to be honest I never loved to learn how to play other songs. I always preferred to create my own melodies and that's when I realised that my melodies must go to one of the styles. Trance was the perfect solution as it is an combination of melody, harmony and energy, elements that I prefer the most."
In the past 3 years, you've made an incredible rise and today we know you as one of the most promising producers in trance land. Is it a matter of luck, or do you believe it's mostly hard work and talent?
Andrew:"I think it's a combination of both, 'cause you can work hard and do great tracks but at the same time you must have the luck to be heard by a right person in a right moment, which happened with me when I released my first track and Armin heard it and liked it. That's when everything started for me. I've worked very hard on that track, and I still do and I was lucky that Armin noticed me and started to promote my stuff. There are still lots of producers that are doing wonderful tracks and I hope they will be heard soon."
One thing's for sure: you've had Armin van Buuren as one of your biggest fans! What's it like, having the number one DJ in the world supporting you?
Andrew:"Well it make sense 'cause I'm also a big fan of Armin van Buuren and he is one of the persons that got me into trance when I had to decide which style to go for. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to Armin for everything he did for me, for all the support on ASOT radio – show and live events."
In fact, lots of people think of you as the next Armin, the 'crown-prince' of trance. A big honour, or non-sense?
Andrew:"Of course It's a big honour for me, 'cause Armin is a legend and to be compared with him makes me feel happy and at the same time somehow more responsible. We both love trance and we are trying to widen limits of imagination through music. But anyway, I want to be Andrew Rayel, don't want to get anyone's position. I believe that everyone in this life has his or her own way, and now I can see where it's going."
While today's trance sound is getting more and more diverse, incorporating house and techno, your sound is praised for keeping the 'pure trance sound' alive. What are your thoughts on that? Is today's diversity a good thing?
Andrew:"I think it's good, because music has to evolve and it has to be mixed with some other styles to become something new. For me however, there are some limits to where I think trance music should not go. I respect all styles of music, all producers cause I know that it is a hard job and of course I listen to different types of music, but I have my vision of trance which you can get from my tracks and I'll just keep this way."
'How Do I Know' ft. Jano did incredibly well and is still a solid favourite for many trance fans. Will we be hearing more vocal tracks of you in the future? Another one with Jano perhaps?
Andrew:"Yes, we just started the follow up for 'How Do I Know' with Jano. Already sent her a couple of demos and a few weeks ago she decided which one she likes more. So now I'm just as excited as the people that saw the info on Twitter, 'cause that's how we started it. I'm also finishing 2 vocals tracks with brilliant vocalist which you will find very soon. So yes, there will definitely be a lot of vocal tracks from Andrew Rayel in the future."
If there's one thing the trance society is waiting for, it's an Andrew Rayel album! Any chance we'll be seeing that anytime soon?
Andrew:"Yah, I'm already working on my album and I've got some interesting stuff and some great vocalists so it's gonna be something interesting. I don't know when it's going to be released but I don't want to rush things 'cause I don't do it just to have it, but to be something special . It's my first album and I've kept all the ideas for a very long time, so hopefully everyone will enjoy it when it's out."
Another exciting release right now, is your mix for the official A State of Trance 600 compilation. For people who haven't heard it yet, what can we expect to hear?
Andrew:"Well basically it's an beautiful combination of old classic sound with the new one. I've mixed some tracks that, in my opinion, are already hits of previous ASOT events with some of my latest tracks and remixes and of course my last remix for 'Armin van Buuren & Markus Schulz – The Expedition', the anthem of ASOT 600. So by listening to my CD compilation you can truly discover the history of ASOT and relive it again, which is the best opportunity that music can give us!"
Gig-wise, the promoters must be knocking on your door, constantly! Are you ever still at home these days?
Andrew:"Now I'm constantly touring, almost every weekend. We have gigs planed till the end of this year, but we don't want to announce them all right now in case of some VISA problems. I don't want to disappoint my fans, which already happened once because of the VISA. So now I'm trying to be more careful and it all takes time, soon I will not have these problems anymore. But so far what I can tell is that in the upcoming months I'm going to perform in Ministry of Sound , Global Gathering UK and UA , Electronic Family and hopefully some of ASOT Ibiza series. J "
Anything else going on in Andrew Rayel's world we should know about?
Andrew:"Well as I said mostly studio and traveling. Also in the last couple of months I did a few full classic instrumental tracks so I'm thinking maybe one day, hope soon, I can release an classic album 'cause I've seen good reactions on a preview that I posted."

The Trump administration has announced it will start taking bids for the construction of a wall on the Mexico-U.S. border next week.
Mexican cement giant Cemex says it's willing to help with Trump's wall
Mexico's biggest cement maker said it would be willing to provide supplies for the US border wall proposed by President Donald Trump, ending months in which the company declined to comment on the potential project.
Cemex SAB would offer a price quote to any contractors looking to buy cement for the barrier, Chairman Rogelio Zambrano told Reforma newspaper. With plants on both sides of the border, Cemex would be well positioned to compete for building-materials contracts.
. . .
Cemex climbed 4.3 per cent to 17.74 pesos at 11:18am in Mexico City after advancing as much as 4.6 per cent for the biggest intraday gain in a month.
As of the writing of this post, Cemex is trading at US$9.o1, still going up.
While this may sound rather ironic or humorous depending on how you look at it, it illustrates private enterprise in the form of a multinational corporation responding to a business opportunity, which in turn creates value for its stockholders.
In other news, unless you've been in a sensory deprivation cell for the past couple of weeks, you must have heard the Democrats generically impugning any contact with Russians, but only if it's by a Trump supporter.
The latest is the allegation that Jeff Sessions committed perjury. Andrew McCarthy, who has years of experience as a very successful prosecutor, finds the charge meritless.
The Dem party had two frontrunners last year: One honeymooned in the Soviet Union, the other one approved a transaction that gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States when she was Secretary of State as her husband
received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
The DNC has no problem with that, at all. Instead, they are in high dudgeon over Sessions talking to a Russian ambassador.
I find this very alarming, since crying wolf does not make for sensible international relations.
But, if the Dems are willing to waste time throwing a snit over anyone talking to any Russians, and in the spirit of perestroika, I declare today Talk to a Russian Day.
Happy #TalkToARussianDay!

Not a good workout DVD
Trish | CA | 01/21/2009
(1 out of 5 stars)
"This is my 3rd KettleBell DVD and if this one and the previous DVD's are all that are out there, I'm going to sell my new KettleBell and strike this off my "Try and new workout" resolution.
It is very apparent that the instructor is very well versed in KettleBells. He explains all the moves in the tutorial and has a very nice physique.
The big problem I have with this DVD is that it is not a viwer friendly DVD at all. During the entire workout portion, you must "watch" the instructor do the exercises. The only words that come out of his mouth are 'Set One Completed" after the end of an entire set, and so on. The rest of the exercise time he is inhaling strongly and exhaling strongly, so if your eyes are not glued to the TV set, you won't even know when he switches hands, lifts his leg, or bends down and stands again. This is very difficult (and probably dangerous) when he does push-ups and you have to bend your neck backwards to see what he's doing. While he is in push-up position, he does one armed push-ups, lifts one leg at a time, and does two armed push-ups. He does not even count down so at least the viewer would know to look up at the end of the count to see a change. I know it says advanced, but even an advanced person needs some type of count and what exercise is coming next. I'm perplexed at how this DVD made it out of a production house...poorly planned and executed.
I very, very rarely give a 1 star to an exercise DVD, but this one was totally useless. I'm going to swap it out for something more beneficial. A waste of money."
When you are board with begginners...
Fitness Freak | NJ | 10/02/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Got this...I'm really not ADVANCED however begginners is just too easy. This was exactly what I needed to kick me in the behind and get a REAL KB workout. Has a lot of stuff I have never seen before and the instructor presents in good form and likable. Best I have seen so far."
Some interesting exercises, poor production
Seppo Vesala | Helsinki, - Finland | 01/30/2009
(2 out of 5 stars)
"This is a follow along kettlebell workout that consists of warm up taking some 17 minutes, actual workout that is about 19 minutes long, and a burnout section that takes less than three minutes. There is also a separate tutorial section, but the exercises are instructed only briefly.
In my opinion, the warm up takes way too much time considering the length of the workout; it's almost the same length as the actual workout. Talk about time-efficiency that is usually associated with kettlebell training! Also, you need variety of equipment to go through the warmup, as you need at least a jump rope, a broomstick of some other long stick, and a kettlebell. Again, one is accustomed that with kettlebell training, you need a minimum amount of equipment. Even if a jump rope and a broomstick is not asking for much considering equipment, I'm used to getting a good warm up using kettlebells alone.
The actual workout consists of four combinations of exercises, each combination consisting of three exercises performed back to back with no rest in between. Actually, the transition to one exercise to the next is so quick that you really have to pay attention to keep up the pace. Each combination of exercises is gone through three times, with 30 seconds rest between the sets. There is no time counter, and the break actually lasts less than ten seconds, so you'll have to pause the DVD player (and do that very quickly, at that). It would have improved the user friendliness of the film if you just could keep the DVD running without need to pause the film.
Many of the exercises used in the workout are not your basic kettlebell exercises, and there are some interesting moves presented. However, the exercise selection and the rep ranges used force you to use several kettlebells of different weights, including double 'bells of the same weight - the instructor uses three different sized kettlebells (you'll need two for some exercises), and fourth in the warm up. So if you have only one kettlebell, this workout is not for you. Also, you'll need plenty of room as in one exercise you'll use a towel running through the kettlebell handle and swing the 'bell around your head holding the kettlebell from both ends of the towel.
As the previous reviewer wrote, the instructor does not count the reps during the workout (he does not even tell the target number of reps in each exercise), and he does not tell when to change to the next exercise. So, you'll have to pay close attention to the film during your own workout. This is not a very good thing, as the workout is challenging and the need to divide your attention between your own workout and the DVD makes it even more challenging. So, even if this is meant to be a follow along workout, you hardly can use it such. It's better to make notes of the exercises and reps used, and work out on your own pace. You'll just have to keep watch of the time during the rest periods - but hey, you'll have to do that even if you work out along the DVD.
The workout itself is quite good (provided you have the necessary kettlebells and enough room) but the production of the film leaves much to be desired. The reason I'm giving this film two stars instead of one is that you can use the workout on your own pace rather that training along the DVD. Also, the film is very reasonably priced.
Practice, practice, practice...
Ryan | Maine | 09/09/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This was my first kettlebell DVD and first real kettlebell work out. It was a little awkward and extremely exhausting at first but after a few consistent weeks I was keeping up pretty well. I have since purchased other Kettlebell DVD's (Steve Cotter) which are also excellent but this one from Phil Ross is the most complete, well rounded KB workout I've seen yet. The Cotter videos are more diverse and better explained, but with Ross I use just a fraction of the weight I use during the Cotter workouts and it takes absolutely everything out of me. I saw better physical results with two months of this video than with a year of free weights. Anybody who gives up just didn't give it enough of a chance. No pain, no gain....."

RFN Bonus Podcast – February 10th 2017
An excerpt from Radio Wehrwulf with Stephen Landser and Jason Goyhammer, wherein they interview recent Northwest migrant Marcus from Portland.
An excerpt from Radio Wehrwulf with Stephen Landser and Jason Goyhammer, wherein they interview recent Northwest migrant Marcus from Portland.
Stephen Landser and Lord Goyhammer can be heard on Race and Nation on http://www.radiowehwolf.com and on soundcloud at : https://soundcloud.com/user-808907636
Secret Agent Man fodder for Harold. Yes, the inmates, niggers, really did escape from local cops back into the federal prison where they would be safe from those Cracker po'liceses. Four decades of affirmative action have degenerated the once mighty and unjustifiably feared today, federal prison system into this: http://www.myajc.com/news/local/inmates-leave-atlanta-prison-camp-buy-contraband-sneak-back/hOAZ8gxgHwFlkJPezZYlvK/
I don't think anybody thinks you're a scam, Harold, but it would sure be helpful if you could somehow manage to show us something a bit more substantial. You have got 21st century Americans nailed. They want to see glitz and glam and va-va-voom and dancing babies and bells and whistles and general icing on the cake. No matter if there is no cake, so long as there is icing.
(Got a new phone Harold, my ip will be different again)
Sounds like Goyhammer and I have alot in common. I dont listen to very many of "shows" but theirs seems alright. I might give it a try.
As for Marcus, what made you decide Portland? Was it thr heroin epidemic? The rampant homelessness? The extreme, always triggered, lefty loons? Or perhaps all the strip joints every 2 blocks? Lol, just messing with you. As you can see portland will need alot of work so you came to the right place.
Link is wrong. It is:
My friend Pearly is right. We need more than words in a book or on a webpage. We need it made REAL.
I hear you guys about after Trump Leaves Office and what will happen to the white people and the attacks that will take place, but I can only speak for myself and my family, if and when that happens there will be hell to pay for the ones committing the attacks, we are all very well trained in our family and death will be knocking on there doors immediately and we wont give two craps as to who and what will be coming, lawlessness abounds now in the judiciary and the demoncratic party as well as there lunatic henchmen rinos. I have lived in the South for over 20 years and we will not put up with and we don't care how many of these animals they think they can send to attack us. I was always taught to get them first before the attack occurs, we know who the enemies are, and we know them even by there names, so right there is your advantage. If there is one thing the internet has done for us it has given us all the data we need to do our jobs if and when that time comes, but if it comes we will be in full blown anarchy , so all bets will be off for the ones who have destroyed our country..

@ Stephen Landser…
Ok, i listened to the feb 9 th podcast. Withen 2 min of opening the host mentioned that they are on a (((shoe string budget))). Geez, is all anyone cares about is fake jew federal reserve notes.
With that said, i lasted 2 more min into the shoah and lost interest, so I had to shut it down. Harold must have had a very hard time finding 40 min of good audio from you guys.
We guys need to see a female presence too. Let's get Gretchen up front and center in a podcast show.
I found this moderately helpful. I wish the part about jobs in PNW had been more detailed. Not bad.
Looks like all Trump has accomplished is to finalize America's transition to a complete juristocracy (rule by the courts).
The Court took the next to the last step back in the Bush Jr. vs Gore election, when it established the precedent, that it has the authority to decide Presidential elections. Even though the Constitution is crystal clear, that if there is no clear winner of a Presidential election, it is to be decided by a special procedure in the Congress, not for the court to decide a contested election. It again used this power in the current election, when it held up the Presidential election by allowing the left to contest the elections and delay the final results in the so-called "Blue Wall States", that Trump had clearly won. Ironically the result of these unnecessary recounts was that Trump's lead increased in those States.
Now the court has taken the final step and is being allowed to even have the final say on foreign affairs. As we see with the court now taking over Middle East policy, as soon as Trump tries to step up America's game against the ragheads.
Again, the Constitution is crystal clear, that all foreign affairs powers rest with the President and the Congress. Specifically, the POTUS is "The Commander in Chief" regarding law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, the military and foreign affairs. In fact, the 1st paragraph of section 2 of Article 2, arguably says "he" (all references to the POTUS in the Constitution use the pronoun "he", which should call into question, whether a women is even eligible to be POTUS under the current Constitution, but nobody has brought this case) is Commander in Chief of ALL executive depts.
And the Congress has the power to authorize military actions and sanctions against foreign actors, and to control business with and immigration from foreign entities. This is spelled out in detail in section 8 of article 1.
Also the sole power over all agreements with foreign entities is jointly controlled by the POTUS and Senate. The POTUS proposes international agreements, and if a super majority vote of the Senate approves them, they go into effect. The "Commander in Chief" powers and "treaty" powers are spelled out in section 2 of article 2.
Mind you, these are all parts of the first 2 articles of the original Constitution, so they are written in archaic 1700's English.
So we now have a situation where EVERYTHING, including elections and foreign policy, has to be run through the court system of unelected judges
for life and receive their stamp of approval, before it goes into effect. That is not a republic nor democracy. It is a form of oligarchy called a juristocracy. Trump is no Andrew Jackson, and the GOP establishment are not Jacksonians. They are not defying the courts claim to be able review EVERTHING. Note: Jackson and his supporters defied the court on American Indian policy and carried out the removal of Indians from America east of the Mississippi to the Indian Country reservation in what is now the region around Oklahoma. Popular history claims Jackson said, "Marshall (the Supreme Court Chief Justice) has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
Sometimes I feel like a nut,
Sometimes I don't.
Almond Joy's got nuts,
Mounds don't.
Harold's novels do what the guys said, that's what they do. They're for people who already "get it", or a a few inches away from getting it.
What HAC's NW Novels don't do is provide that link between not getting it & getting the 14 Words.
That "link" is the SOMETHING that are the magic spell words that cause white people to "wake up" (a phrase my parents have used all my life).
Unfortunately, as we all know, it's just not that simple. At best, changes have been small, incremental, over decades. Trump is the exception that proves the rule: Things had to get as bad as they have for Trump to be a serious possibility.
I've tried, hard, over & over, for many years, to figure this out, & produce the answer. I've failed the same as everyone else.
What I can say (& I'm not saying this just to plug my own writing career) is that what is needed (in the books end of things) is a novel that is completely unlike HAC's novels, little if anything actually 'happens', no ultraviolence etc; it's just a 'brooding psychological study of white guilt, white liberalism, etc'.
Whether novels or anything else, that's the "LINK" that GETS someone to the NW Novels. The Novels are like stories about flying, & aviation manuals; but they're only of interest to people who already want to fly, who know their are such things as aircraft, aviation etc. People who have no concept of flying aren't going to be interested in novels about aviation.
Hi. Harold. I'm supposed to try and start Gretchen and Andy fans squabbling. My silly female supervisor in the hard office up front is into psychobabble again. Ooga booga.
I thought I should make another post about how my previous post on America's juristocracy and the recent decision of the 9th Circuit is particularly germane to the NF. The 9th Circuit, which is the most far-left Circuit, is in fact the Homeland's Circuit.
People might mistakenly believe the States are the highest level of territorial division in America. That we are on the highest level a union of 50 States and various island territories. In reality the top division is the Court of Appeals Circuit. The territory of the USA is divided into 11 court "circuits". Each of these circuits is who has the final say over the States and territories within their circuit, and they can even make nation wide rulings, as they did to Trump. Only the Supreme Court can alter a circuit ruling.
They are called "circuits" because in the old days, we only hired a few judges, and they would have to travel around by carriage and later by train from town to town on a "circuit". A judge would go to one town on his circuit and preside over a few cases, and then he would travel on to the next town and have a few cases, and so on.
What this especially has to do with the NF is it's plan of making significant initial progress "legally". That it can get the ball rolling and get the first few stages in place "legally". The NF isn't just dealing with say the State government of Idaho. If the NF ever "caught on", the "legal" timeline would be very short. It would end as soon as someone filed suit against the NF's activities in a California, Oregon or Washington district court, and the NF lost; then it went to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and the NF lost. The 9th Circuit would make a nationwide anti-NF ruling, such as designating it a "terrorist" group and or violating "civil rights". The NF is then instantly an illegal underground group.
I wouldn't say this is exactly a "naysay". It's just an analysis of a problem the NF would likely have to deal with, since the courts are the true rulers.
We would file an appeal under Article 7.62. Otherwise known as "Pompey's Law."
@Harold. Since when did we care about the courts. They are part of the evil machine that must die.
@ Wingnut… Good to see you back comrade. Thats definitly you with those long well thought out posts. Your a smart guy.
We don't need to migrate, Harold. The God-Emperor Trump is going to smite them all with a mighty thunderbolt, and then it's back to the 'burbs and the backyard cookouts and Six Flags for all of us. Didn't you get the memo?
AMERCURIN courts needs to end. Are courts will be just do to the lack of lawyers and money
Did I understand those two guys to say they were in their 40s? Damn. I would have put them at about 17. They sound like that Ashton Kutcher movie from the 90s, "Dude, Where's My Car.,"
@Badgoy & @Kat , We don't use a warning (amateur podcast) disclaimer in the beginning of our shows, but we definitely don't act like we are reinventing the wheel either. The show is very amateur, working class, vulgar at times and for the most part just our opinions and perspectives and no scripts. I do appreciate the honesty. In Harold's defense, he didn't seek us out, we offered the content to him, told him to do with it as he wished if he found it interesting or helpful.

VANCOUVER -- By proposing up to 23 sites for new social housing, the City of Vancouver is looking to take advantage of any federal and provincial infrastructure money that may become available, the head of the province's main umbrella group for non-profit housing said Tuesday.
Tony Roy, chief executive of the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association, said Vancouver has been consulting with his organization and similar social housing groups in B.C. about selecting potential non-profit housing sites in the city.
This week, Vancouver offered $250 million in city land if Ottawa agrees to spend $500 million over five years to build affordable housing.
The city has identified 20 sites, plus three optional locations, where an estimated 3,500 social housing units could be built. The city did not provide addresses, but indicated on a map that the locations were centred in the Downtown Eastside, around False Creek and in the southeast corner of the city.
The plan would build a mix of welfare rate, social, and market housing.
Roy said the city's announcement covers more sites and more money than he had expected. He said the behind-the-scenes planning indicates that Vancouver is ahead of other municipalities in the region.
"There are huge challenges in housing affordability in Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster and some areas of Surrey and Richmond," he said.
"If all of a sudden there is a federal program around affordable housing, or a provincial program around affordable housing, and they have shovel-ready projects with a strong municipal partner ready to go in Vancouver, that is the stuff that will be built."
An official from the City of Vancouver could not be reached for comment.
"I would say the City of Vancouver has laid down the gauntlet to other cities in British Columbia who want to start solving these problems," he said. "They will be first in line for those federal and provincial dollars because they've been ambitious about a plan."
The pitch to the federal government from the city also focuses on the number of jobs that could be created by building social housing. Over five years, the new construction could create up to 9,000 jobs, including up to 3,000 within the first two years.
Roy said the city's plan isn't enough for all of B.C.
"What we need (is for) there to be land and money identified so other communities can build housing," he said. "If we continue to ignore people living on the street, we will pay for that in many other ways."
Roy also made a plea for the city to work with TransLink to identify land along rapid transit lines. He said what is happening in the region is that people who are renting and living in social housing need access to transit, but are increasingly the ones who can least afford to live along transit routes where land is appreciating in value.

Some strange goings-on in the attempt to track down those responsible for the Pune bombing in February. This week, there appeared to be a breakthrough when intelligence services apprehended Abdul Samad Siddi Bawa at Mangalore airport, where he had just arrived from Dubai. He is the brother of prime suspect and Indian Mujahideen operative Mohammad Zarar Siddibapa, also known as Yasin Bhatkal.
However, when Home Minister P Chidambaram congratulated specialist anti-terrorist squad ATS on the arrest, it was Samad and not his brother who had suddenly become the main focus. He said in a statement on 25 May: "I compliment ATS Maharashtra, the Pune Police and Central agencies on apprehending the prime suspect within hundred days of the incident."
According to The Hindu, the ATS had never included Samad's name in their investigations and he has strenuously denied any involvement during questioning this week. The reason for his arrest seems to come down to the fact that an informant told investigators that it was Samad that planted the bomb in Pune, rather than his brother. Apparently they look rather similar. Strangely for a man who is supposed to have carried out a major terrorist attack, he decided to travel to Dubai openly, using his normal documentation.
The charges they have actually laid against him have nothing to do with Pune, and are actually related to supplying weapons to a Hindutva terrorist group, Abhinav Bharat, who are believed to be behind a series of bombings in Gujarat and Maharashtra in September 2008. It seems unlikely that a man who works for both Hindu and Muslim extremists would be the main figure in the Pune attack. The evidence that has so far emerged suggests that he is more opportunistic supplier than fundamentalist bomber. Having been picked up once before (and released) for questioning about his brother's activities, it could be that Samad is just paying the price for a wayward black sheep in the family. In any case, it's clearly another gaffe on the part of the Home Minister.

Balancing a hectic schedule and getting everything on your list accomplished can be a bit of a feat. If anyone knows how crazy life can be, it's Dancing With the Stars co-host Erin Andrews.
Between her new gig in the ballroom and acting as a sports reporter, it's a wonder that she doesn't have days where she's about ready to collapse from running around from here to there.
I had the pleasure of chatting with her earlier this week about how she manages to "do it all," per se. But don't worry -- I also got her to spill some juicy details on season 18 of Dancing With the Stars, which is proving to be one of the most competitive group of dancers ever.
On how she's enjoying being a DWTS co-host so far:
It's been so much fun! All of the pros and dancers have been so nice and welcoming. It's different from sports reporting, but it's also sort of the same as far as interviewing the dancers on the "sidelines" after their performances.
On how she comes up with such fun interview questions and whether or not she makes them up on the spot:
It's a mix of both. I prepare myself for each week's show by watching videos of the dances on Sunday. I also ask producers questions to see how things are going between the partners each week. And on Monday, I watch the dances to see what happens, and I base my questions for the contestants on that. I also like to have fun with the questions -- like when I joked around about Peta Murgatroyd and James Maslow's relationship. I KNOW they aren't going to get married and have a baby -- but everyone wants to know if there is something going on between them, so I can't resist having a little fun.
On whether or not it's awkward working with Maksim Chmerkovskiy again, given the romance rumors between them in the past:
Why would it be awkward with Maks?!? He is one of the most special people in my life. He is very close to both me and my family because he was so supportive of me during a very difficult time. When he learned that I was going to be a part of DWTS, he even texted me to ask if I was "coming home." I told him yes and said, "Please tell me you are going to be there too." There is nothing awkward between us at all. He is wonderful.
On whether or not she's received any backlash for replacing Brooke Burke as co-host:
I'm not aware of any mixed reactions to my joining the show. I even called Brooke when it happened and let her know that I hoped I would do a good job and would be able to fill her shoes. I love her.
On how she stays energized even with a super hectic schedule:
I'm a Florida girl, and that's why I've recently teamed up with Florida Orange Juice, which is something that helps give me the vitamins and natural energy I need to get through the day. It's especially helpful when I don't have time to squeeze in all of my fruits and veggies for the day. I eat right, take care of my body, and also portion control helps me keep things in check.
On who she thinks the front runners are this season:
Definitely Meryl Davis and Charlie White are so gorgeous to watch. I'm also amazed at how well Candace Cameron is doing since she's never taken one dance class. And Danica McKellar is doing awesome too!
Have you enjoyed watching Erin on DWTS this season?

6. When designated, acts for the MIC during his/her absence, with full technical, managerial, and administrative responsibility for WFO programs, products, and services.
Factor 1 – Knowledge Required by the Position
Mastery of theoretical meteorology, including the dynamics of the atmosphere, mesoscale meteorology, and the application of computer methods of numerical weather analysis and prediction.
Mastery of applied meteorology, equivalent to several years of forecasting experience in the more challenging of forecast situations or environments.
Knowledge of the principles and theories of hydrology and hydrologic characteristics of rivers, streams, and drainage basins in the forecast area sufficient to enable the employee to perform the hydrologic service program duties assigned to the WFO.
Mastery of the principles, methods, practices and techniques of communication in order to function as the technical authority for the NWS within the service area, and to design, plan and execute a preparedness program of major scope and significance which conveys information about complex programs affecting a large and diverse number of people throughout the population. This includes exceptional skill in written and oral communication, particularly the ability to translate highly technical meteorological and hydrologic concepts into non-technical terms.
A basic understanding of the organization and functions of the national, state, and local agencies concerned with disaster preparedness.
A highly advanced level of knowledge of aviation meteorology for the production of specialized aviation forecasts and advisories for the aviation community, for guidance of National Weather Service and FAA pilot briefers, and for special users, such as balloonists, soaring clubs, crop dusters, meteorological staffs at FAA ARTCC (CWSU), etc.
(If appropriate) Advanced knowledge of marine meteorology and/or tropical meteorology with special emphasis on hurricanes and/or coastal flooding.
Advanced knowledge of meteorological principles pertaining to other assigned special programs, such as agricultural, and fire weather, to provide forecast products and expert advice and guidance/performance to special users.
In-depth knowledge of NWS operational procedures and instructions, and real-time guidance products pertinent to the production of weather forecasts and services, river and flood forecasts, and other special purpose products.
Thorough knowledge of operational characteristics of complex electronic and electro-mechanical equipment utilized in data acquisition, communications, and service programs assigned to the WFO. This includes the meteorological skills necessary to properly utilize sophisticated Doppler weather surveillance radar equipment and to interpret and apply its output in a real-time operational environment.
Knowledge of applied research methods and data management techniques sufficient to participate in development efforts designed to develop or incorporate the latest advances into warning and forecast program operations.
A basic understanding of the psychology of human response to emergency situations, especially relating to severe weather phenomena and official warnings calling for governmental and citizen action.
Highly developed tact and diplomacy to function in difficult public contact situations.
Factor 2 – Supervisory Controls
Works under the general supervision of the MIC, who provides general administrative and policy direction defining the assignment in terms of broad mission statements. The employee plans, designs, executes and evaluates the overall preparedness program, independently determining the methods and approaches to be used. The preparedness program is evaluated in terms of results achieved and objectives met. Decisions and plans are accepted as technically authoritative.
Factor 3 - Guidelines
Existing guidelines provide only a broad framework for conducting assigned functions. Such guidelines are operational procedures which define matters such as overall NWS preparedness efforts. Operational activity guidelines provide definition of format of forecasts, forecast and warning language which will be universally accepted and understood, conditions for warnings versus advisories, etc. Numerical and graphic guidance are applicable only in terms of assessing synoptic scale weather systems.
The employee's professional expertise is the primary tool for accomplishing the work. He/She is expected to be frequently faced with new and unusual and non-standard situations, where the application of sound judgment is essential. Opportunities for new preparedness and services development activities abound. The employee is expected to exercise judgment in leadership tasks.
Factor 4 – Complexity
Assignments include service and product evaluation, and planning, designing, executing, and evaluating a public awareness/preparedness program to convey complex information about NWS programs and products, to establish and maintain effective working relationships with specialized groups and to develop recommendations to improve program and product effectiveness.
Decisions regarding what needs to be done involve analyzing the information needs of various segments of the NWS' publics; determining the most effective approaches to employ in reaching the specialized publics; modifying strategies or plans to more effectively communicate programs and products; and providing information to clarify products/services available or to refute undue criticism. In order to do this, the employee must combine a professional knowledge of meteorology and hydrology, applied research and data management techniques, with warning and forecast methods and human psychology in order to lead local public awareness and preparedness activities and participate in joint research efforts and local operational products/techniques development.
The work involves obtaining feedback from publics in developing new approaches to use in meeting communication needs of the public and the goals of the program.
Factor 5 – Scope and Effect
The purpose of the work is to conduct area-wide evaluations of WFO products and services and to develop and maintain a public awareness and preparedness program for the WFO service area which is characterized by a very populous area, and complicated by the presence of many different interested groups, some with competing priorities. The employee's work is essential to the safety of the public and can prevent the loss of life and property in extreme events such as tornadoes and flash floods. Products issued by the WFO provide day-today guidance to the public and specialized users, and can have a significant impact on the service area's economy.
The employee's performance in service evaluation and preparedness has a direct and major impact on the effectiveness and enhancement of NWS programs in the WFO area and on the ability of local community leaders and citizens served to forestall or mitigate the effects of significant weather which threatens damage and/or injury to life and property.
Factor 6 – Personal Contacts
Contacts within NWS are with employees at all levels in the region and in the National Centers. Outside contacts are with state and local officials with decision or planning responsibilities or authority for dealing with community response to weather threats and natural disasters. This may include elected officials such as mayors, governors, agency heads, etc. Additional contacts are with other Federal agencies, community action, other special purpose groups and cooperative storm spotters, citizens groups, civic organizations, the mass news media, other specialized users, and the general public.
Factor 7 – Purpose of Contacts
Intra-agency contacts are to coordinate products, services and preparedness plans with neighboring offices.
Contacts with state and local officials are to assist and advise them in their preparedness planning efforts, drills, evacuation plans, etc.; to advise the public about courses of action to be taken in the event of severe weather events in order to institute precaution for the safeguarding of life and property; and to implement disaster preparedness action plans for the safeguarding of life and property because of the threat of natural disasters, such as tropical storms, tornadoes, floods, flash floods, severe storms, affecting areas served by the WFO.
Press, radio and TV contacts are to implement the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) in the event of natural disasters such as tornadoes or flash floods. Though much of the employee's general public contact is through the mass media, the public and specialized users may contact the WFO directly for general and specialized advice on existing and forecast weather conditions.
Contacts with other agencies are to provide specialized support for aviation (FAA), fire weather (USFS or State Forestry), air pollution (EPA and state agencies), etc.
Factor 8 – Physical Demands
The work is generally sedentary, although carrying of bulky projectors and other informational materials is occasionally required, along with some light travel. Routine duties require meeting tight deadlines.
Additionally, rotating shift work is occasionally required with the WFO in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During periods of threatening weather or rapidly changing weather conditions, the increase in workload and the necessity for rapid dissemination of weather warnings and updates requires periods of acute mental alertness and produces considerable mental stress.
Adverse weather conditions often require the incumbent to work hours longer than the usual shift, adding to mental and physical stress.
Factor 9 – Work Environment
The work environment most closely resembles that of an office with added specialized equipment.
FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT This position is exempt.

I was asked to take down the April 1 press release with the winking ACOG eyeball from Mothering.com on Monday, which I did. Here's the backstory. I'm posting it here in case it also gets pulled:
As reported by Babble.com, the press release first appeared on CNN.com's iReport but was pulled after it was discovered to be a prank.
As this post from another Babble.com blogger indicates, the subject of the press release–America's skyrocketing C-section rate which is in violation of women's fundamental rights–is anything but funny.
As the press release circulated via email and Twitter, bloggers have been writing about it:
*the Deranged Housewife "It's clear to me that when it comes to the birthing choices of women, ACOG doesn't really give a crap."
*C-section Recovery Kit blog, and
*Owning Pink.
Yes, the press release was a prank.
I know because I wrote it.
Is it really a surprise that ACOG didn't suddenly decide to advocate that women have their babies in the safest way possible?
Here's how the press release should have read:
For Immediate Release: ACOG HAS NO PLANS TO STOP ELECTIVE C-SECTIONS
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has made no announcement that it is devising a comprehensive plan to lower C-section rates in the United States. Instead, Greg Phillips, Associate Director, Office of Communications, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, has said that the April 1 press release indicating the organization would be spearheading a campaign to end elective C-sections "did not come from us and is clearly an April Fool's joke."
C-sections in the U.S. have gone up 700% since they were first measured in 1965, when the C-section rate was only 4.5 percent.
The nation's C-section rate has been rising steadily for the last eleven years. It's now over 31 percent. This is a deplorable situation that harms women and their newborns, but one that ACOG has continually downplayed or ignored.
Advertising itself as an organization that advocates for quality healthcare for women, ACOG has no plans to ask obstetricians to halt elective C-sections.
Though many birth advocates, obstetricians, gynecologists, nurse practitioners, midwives, and women's rights advocates believe that C-sections should only be a last resort and should never be performed for the convenience of the doctor or for financial or liability reasons, C-sections are routinely done in this country when there is no medical necessity for them, often for the convenience of doctors or for fear of lawsuits.
Though the use of electronic fetal monitoring has been shown to increase unnecessary C-section rate without any proven benefit to the mother or infant, ACOG also has no plans to call on American hospitals to stop the routine use of electronic monitoring during labor.
ACOG has no new guidelines to encourage women to have freedom of movement during labor, labor standing up or squatting, and to eat and drink at will. In fact, given the organization's repeated negative stance on out-of-hospital births, it can be inferred that ACOG actively opposes freedom of movement during labor.
Cesarean can save lives. But doctors and consumers have to remember that this is major surgery that carries major risk. Some examples: 29-year-old Abbie Dorn, suffered severe hemorrhaging and brain damage after her uterus was nicked during a Cesarean section at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (2006), 32-year-old Diane Rizk McCabe died following complications from a Caesarean section at Albany Medical Center Hospital (2007), and Karen Vasques, 27, died during a C-section at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (2008).
Maternal mortality has risen every year in the United States for the past 25 years, while over the same period the rate of C-sections has gone up 33 percent.
The skyrocketing rate of C-section in America has had devastating consequences but ACOG, the most highly respected organization of obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States, refuses to lead the fight to stop it.
Many people took offense at the original satire that I wrote to highlight how serious the problem is.
I had no intention of duping or disappointing those who really are leading the fight to stop a systemic problem in our medical system that has spiraled out of control.
I know that OBs who do not rush to C-section breech births, twins, and women who have had prior cesareans are often under tremendous pressure from the hospitals where they work, and from their colleagues, to do more surgery. There are many wonderful OBs who do not overuse the C-section operation, and they, too, advocate returning to a healthier balance and letting a woman's body do what it evolved to do.
My dear friend who is having a baby on Friday via C-section was told by her OB that he forbids trial of labor. She is young and healthy. She has big bones and wide hips. But since she had an unnecessary C-section in her twenties, her doctor will not allow her to go into labor naturally.
A new mom recently posted her birth experience on a baby message board. Unfortunately, the only atypical aspect of her experience is that the doctor pretended to allow her to try for a VBAC. Here's part of her story:
"After switching doctors several times during the course of my pregnancy, at the time I delivered I was under the care of an OB & Midwives group. I was told that I was a good candidate for VBAC, was offered water birth if things went well, and believed that I was in the best possible circumstances to avoid surgery & any un-needed medical intervention.
I arrived at the hospital dialated to 4. An hour & a half later, my water had broken on its own and I was dialated to 6.
Since I was laboring on a birthing ball, the midwife wasn't confident about the fetal heartrate monitor, it was showing decels, so I was asked to consent to an internal monitor (screws into the baby's scalp during labor). I refused the first time I was asked, then consented the second time. I consented because I thought my husband was beginning to panic and hoped that it would ease his stress. When I consented to it, I looked at my husband & said "That is medical intervention #1."
Before the monitor was even plugged in, we were told that we were going to be moved to the OR "just in case" while being monitored more closely. The midwife had called an OB to consult & we expected to meet him in the OR.
On the way to the OR, my husband was sent to a dressing area to change into scrubs & I was sent straight into the OR. My husband & I were separated.
As soon as I reached the OR, the staff began prepping me for surgery. I stated that I did NOT want a c-section. I demanded to see my husband and stated that IF I was to receive a c-section my DH & I would make that decision together. I was told that my husband was on his way. I was also told that my baby needed more oxygen & I was told to breathe deeply in a new mask because it had a better seal on my face (the oxygen I was breathing before was thru a smaller mask).
The new mask wasn't oxygen, I was gassed against my will.
I am unaware of what was done to me from the time I was gassed up until I awoke in recovery. I am assuming that I only had a C-section. Any further details have not been shared with me.
When my husband exited the dressing area & went to go to the OR, he was told that he couldn't go in because I was already being anesthetized for surgery. He was not asked to consent on my behalf. He was not told that I had refused consent. He was not told that I had requested his presence. He was not told WHY I was having surgery.
I found out that my son had been born, and that I had been operated on, when I woke up in recovery. No medical professional came to me and spoke to me about my surgery. I have never been told WHY I required a c-section. I only know the name of the delivering physician because it's on my son's birth certificate. I never met him. He never came to talk to me before or after surgery. I also never saw the midwife again after I was wheeled into the OR…
I'm having an extremely hard time coming to grips with having been lied to and operated on against my will. I love my son, but I did not give birth to him. I was not present at his birth. That moment in my life has been taken from me … I don't know if I'll ever again be capable of trusting a medical professional to respect me as a whole person, instead of just a slab of meat ready for their whim. I thought that it was required of medical professionals to obtain informed consent whenever possible prior to performing surgery."
Can we agree that what's really cruel are experiences like these, not my April Fools joke?

LOS ANGELES (April 21, 2016) – Actress SARAH SIADAT (Sa-da See-a-dot) will appear on two popular television shows this season, NBC's supernatural hit GRIMM on April 29th and HBO's acclaimed comedy VEEP on May 1st.
Up first on GRIMM, Siadat heads to this modern twist on the Grimm Brothers' tales, where Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) takes on increasing responsibilities fighting crime as a Grimm. In the April 29th episode titled "The Taming of the Wu," Siadat steps-in as a Doctor when the fairytale police procedural gets a little bloody.
Siadat was excited to be back working in her home state of Oregon, commenting "I'm a big advocate of TV and Film shooting in Oregon. It brings opportunity to the state, but also as an actor it's always been a goal to be able to travel home for work and participate in a project filmed there. I did not want it to end."
Then, Siadat pops into Season Five of VEEP, which follows former U.S. Senator Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) as she tries to make her mark as Vice President of the United States. In the May 1st episode titled "Nev-ah-da," Siadat jumps in as a persistent Reporter looking for answers.
This half-Persian/half-Arab American talent grew-up in Ashland, Oregon, where she found her love for acting. Following her dreams, she headed to New York and ultimately landed in Los Angeles. Her notable credits include two of daytime television's most popular shows: CBS's The Young and The Restless and ABC's One Life to Live. She also worked with the award-winning Mixed Blood Theater in MN and performed for four years in the New York Arab American Comedy Festival. In addition, Siadat is also a well-establish career coach, founding the successful business, Mentoring For Actors, which helps other creative professionals follow their own dreams.
Sarah Siadat is represented by Mary Dangerfield of Dangerfield Talent and Joe Greenberg of Qualstar Enterprises.

The blue packaging, with minor changes from the design introduced in April overseas, will be tested in Des Moines, Iowa, and New Orleans.
Pepsi embarked on Project Blue as a way to spark growth in overseas markets, where it trails archrival Coca-Cola Co. by a wide margin. With the help of design and identity agency Landor Associates, Pepsi-Cola decided to abandon its red, white and blue cans and packages and try to own blue in the same way Coke owns red.
Thus far, Pepsi has taken blue into about 20 markets, representing 40% of its international volume.
"It's doing well. Our consumer awareness scores are hitting some all-time highs in those markets," said a company spokesman.
In an era when marketers in every industry are seeking to unify marketing plans across national borders, Pepsi executives see potential in bringing blue to the U.S., too. However, Pepsi's business here is healthy-not counting diet brands, Pepsi and Coke run neck-and-neck in large retail outlets-making the U.S. a less pressing priority.
"Pepsi sees big potential here. But switching to blue everywhere is going to take a long time, because it's going to cost" several hundred million dollars, said an executive familiar with the test plan. "Their idea is to test different marketing plans for rolling it out to see how much of a kick they can get."
Pepsi chose New Orleans and Des Moines in part because they're at opposite ends of the market-share spectrum, according to Beverage Digest, an industry newsletter that first reported Pepsi's plans last week. Pepsi has a commanding 15% to 9% edge over Coke in Des Moines, while it trails 7% to 30% in New Orleans, the publication said.
Pepsi declined to reveal marketing plans for the test cities.
"Everything you see in the markets will reflect the new look," the spokesman said.
The blue packaging will cover all Pepsi varieties, including diet and caffeine-free.
BBDO Worldwide, New York, created global advertising for the launch of Project Blue, using Pepsi's usual mix of celebrities and humor.

Our Story
Our Story
Once upon a time there was a teacher who was good, but wanted to get better.
Her administrator tried to plan professional learning that was best for the building, but it just didn't work for her.
This teacher was innovative and reflective. She knew her lessons could be improved and she wanted to take new risks in the classroom. The only problem? She didn't know where to start. She felt like she was alone in her classroom and had no one to turn to for ideas and inspiration.
But she wasn't the only teacher who felt this way. There were many other teachers who shared this same feeling.
Thus, the concept behind Connected Learning was born and the first Edcamp happened in St. Louis.
Now, Connected Learning strives to continue providing a network and support system for passionate, innovative educators across the Midwest.

From The Dodd family 2012.

A hard year to follow – Olympics & Jubilee,
Games Maker for Edward and off to Hull University!

They smile, laugh, build a house & carry on stoically!

To a M.A.M.I.L (Middle Aged Man In Lycra), those hills hold no fear!
Not content with English ones he's been in Majorca too,
Seeking higher, hotter MAMILS and mountains with a view!
I failed to train him to cook and clean…
'Send him to work' I beg – not being mean..
It's just that I've got places to go, things to do,
Like Subz Baby Swimming and writing to you!
Besides – look at his bloodline – Moira's 97 next year..

So I haven't posted here in a long while and there is a good reason. I made a commitment to myself a year ago that I would finish once and for all the scrapbooks. I am not a fancy scrapper. I just want to record events in my kids lives. When my kids were young the scrapbook movement hadn't really started and so my first couple of scrapbooks were lame. A hybrid of photo albums and school work hastily and not very well assembled. And then life happened and suddenly it was 15 years later.
My GOAL was to have yearly books for them through high school. Uh huh. AS I write this they are 23 and 17 ! Let me take stock of what I
had actually accomplished in those years: I had my oldest up to age 6 and my youngest only up to age 2. Ummm…yeah.
When I moved to my little island here in the PNW I decided I would MAKE the time and finish these. It took another year to settle in and one day it hit me…I had the time. Now I just needed to find the motivation. That came in the form of my eldest deciding to maybe move home and the fact that I had about 8 bins of school papers clogging the room that would be her bedroom.
So last May….I committed. Through the next two months I worked on my youngest books to get her caught up to her sister. There was so much paper and I was so overwhelmed but I quickly got a system started and by June the youngest was done until first grade ( only 11 yrs to go!) The oldest….moving home in about a year….she was more of a challenge. I knew summer would be busy and I stumbled across digital scrapbooking which I had heard of but never done. Since I was embarking on her high school years there are far few projects and many more pictures…..so I learned how to digitally scrapbook and by late fall I had managed, to my surprise, to digitally scrap 87 pages of her high school experience. Or rather my perception of her high school years.
Come the New year I was back to traditional albums and determined to finish in the year 2016. I bought a planner and mapped out my goals. 11 scrapbooks and 3 revamps ( early scrapbook hybrids that needed a facelift) in 11 months. If you want an awesome planner check out Passion Planner!
So here it is May 2 and we are about to head east to pick up my daughter. Her room is ready and considering it was crammed with paper and stickers, and machinery up until February it looks wonderful now. MY office is moved and functional and last night I finished a the 2nd of 4 revamps.
In actual paper based scrapbooks I have 5 left. My youngest daughters 4- 8th grade. I will plan on a digital album for her high school years like her sister but since she is finishing up 11th grade its going to be last on my list. I also have 2 revamps left and I have gone from 8 bins to 2 bins of school papers. I am writing this because frankly I am just proud of myself and I don't think anyone really cares except me and my kids…who are happy to have their books and memories. But I remember how I felt when I started this a year ago and I now I know I can do it.


text: Wow, congratulations! I think that's awesome. You definitely went all out for that party. I took some of your ideas for a bachelorette party I just threw for my girlfriend on Friday. I haven't had a chance to blog about it yet but I'll definitely give a shout out to your inspiration :)

Almost 1 month ago, January 28, my sister Rita married the love of her life, Frank.
It was a beautiful wedding, which I don't have pictures of cause I was to busy being at a wedding, and went off without a hitch!
But no wedding is complete without it's fair share of work.
And I love getting ready for weddings, it fun and its pretty!
Rita had asked me to be in charge of the decorating, and she made it easy for me, by getting together all the stuff she wanted, all I had to do was put it on the tables. :)
They invited 300 people so we got an early start.
Randy and Brendan making many trips in the elevator (maybe more than they needed) to bring everything down stairs.
Rita starting with setting up tables.
We set up 30 tables.
Next came the table clothes.
And then folding napkins. Ruth had found a really pretty way to fold them, so I let her be in charge of getting people to help her. :)
They folded.
And folded.
And folded!
Meanwhile we got the table runners and centre pieces on the tables.
Then the dishes.
The finished tables!!
The it was snack time!!!
After that we headed up stairs and got the sanctuary ready.
Raechelle and Sophia waiting for the rehearsal to start.
Flower girl and ring bearer.
Singing names.
Guest book attendants. With super cute smiles.

Harold and Alice Garrettson Albaugh - OH
I am not an Albaugh researcher but while searching through an antique shop
today I discovered a letter from Harold to Alice in regard to a marriage proposal, a
birth certificate for Charles Burchinal Albaugh as well as a Sunday School certificate.
Harold and Alice lived in Steubenville, Ohio abt. 1920.
There was also a 1940 high school graduation diploma Mingo High School in Mingo
Junction, Ohio, a prom bid and a class ring receipt for Elisabeth Albaugh.
If there is a researcher interested, I will purchase the items for you and
send them.
