A chic wedding in France captured by Emilie Iggiotti Photography has got to be the prettiest soiree in the world, right? Oui, bien sur! It's the kind of wedding that weaves itself into your very soul with the utterly gorgeous couple and the sweet details, and you are just going to die. It's everything pretty and then some, and it's hunkered down in a gallery which is just waiting to have a little chat with your soul. See it here!

Stan and I met six years ago in Montreal where we both studied. Yet, we are both French and currently live in Paris. In the summer 2011, on my birthday, Stan organized a surprise week-end away in Brussels, where he proposed. Things went very fast after that weekend. As our friends and family all live in different parts of the world, we felt it was essential that the venue should only be one hour away from Paris and its different airports and train stations. We found La Grange de Bourgoult and immediately fell in love with it. The dining room had exposed beams and all the building were Norman style.
We didn't want our wedding colors to clash with the natural colors of the place, so we decided on pale pink and green. We wanted a classical with bohemian touch style wedding, so my husband and his best men all wore morning coats, with waistcoats and striped trousers while I had my dress made by Laure de Sagazan, a very sweet and talented stylist from Paris. Laure de Sagazan's wedding dresses are all very delicate with a lot of lace and principally made of crepe fabric. She designed an entirely custom-made dress that I love and that was so easy to move around in on our wedding day.
For all the wedding details, I have an incredible mother and mother-in-law to thank for their dedication. My mother took care of all the flowers with our local florist, and had 3 vases filled with light pink dahlias, roses, raspberries and leafage for each table. Our theme was "Bonbons", so we asked a friend to do water-color drawings representing a type of bonbon for each table. The end result was beautiful. My mother-in-law sewed all the lovely flower girls' dresses. As wedding favors we put small kraft bags with French bonbons for each seat.
To capture this day, I wanted a photographer who would document all the important steps with a vision of her own, and I couldn't think of anyone more suited than Emilie who had already photographed my mother and I in the past. In the end, our wedding went by so fast that I barely had the time to take it all in, but I cherish all the wonderful and precious moments from that day spent with my husband, our families and our friends who came from all other the world to be with us on this very special occasion.

I am absolutely kicking myself for not taking any pictures of the game, but I can at least give a quick summary of what happened. His Dwarfs entered the ruins and found out it was inhabited by a nasty warband of Nurgle worshippers lead by Lord Gagnus (or a variant of him). Dunhill's expedition had to make quick work of discovering any evidence of what happened in the town, and quickly found a chest full of important items and information. There were casualties on both sides, and they barely made it out alive from the inexorable advance of the followers of the Plague God.
Here are the warband rosters I used in this little adventure.
|The strength of the Dwarfs here is some good shooting and heavy armor all around. Their weakness of course is their movement.
|The strength of the followers of Nurgle is the common use of Poison and numbers, but weakness is varying degrees of quality.
Speaking of getting people into the hobby, while I was making all my terrain, my daughter's eyes glowed while I built up the ruins, and since I had some leftover bricks. She decided to take a stab at terrain building.
|With the advance of the dreaded Queen Miranda, lone hero Pedro Pony decides to take refuge in the tower!

WebGate System: The True Internet-of-Things Advanced Metering System
While there have been periods of transition throughout its 150 year history, the electric utility industry is currently undergoing a new evolutionary period fueled by the technologies and increased expectations of the Digital Age. Just as the Internet-of-Things (IoT), driven by the rapid expansion of digital technologies, has created a virtual web of intelligent, interconnected devices that is transforming way we live and work, it will also transform the way utilities generate and deliver power, monitors and secures physical grid infrastructure and interacts with customers and regulators alike. muNet's WebGate Advanced Metering Systems have been specifically engineered for utilities, energy service providers and energy technology companies to seamlessly integrate commercial and residential metering into IoT-enabled energy ecosystems.
Historically, utilities looking to implement Advanced Metering and other Smart Grid technologies have been presented with products based on inflexible, closed, proprietary communications technologies resulting in systems that greatly limited utilities' ability keep pace with an increasingly changing energy ecosystem landscape. muNet WebGate Advanced Metering Systems have been developed around standards-based and IoT compatible communications technologies including Internet Protocol (IP) and ZigBee which enables WebGate meters to plug-and-play on any IP-based broadband network including Fiber-to-the Home, Wireless IP and Ethernet networks.

Editors Note: Teachers@ED profiles some of the hundreds of current and former educators who work at the U.S. Department of Education, and how their experiences in schools inform their work for the agency.
Carlos and Celia Rico had big hopes for their children, which is one reason the couple emigrated from Mexico, and settled in Chicago. José, Carlos and Celia's oldest, quickly adapted to the new language, culture and climate, and with a combination of support and inspiration from teachers, he became the first person in his family to go to college. Still, Rico never expected that he would one day become the executive director for the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
"When I first started school, I was one of those students who had a hard time," Rico said. "My school did not have a bilingual education program; it was one of those sink-or-swim programs. The school didn't provide support for my parents, and there was no support for me to access the curriculum."
Founding a School to Help Students Like Him
This all changed when Rico reached high school and he came to know teachers who pushed him to excel. His strongest subjects were math and science; high marks in these areas earned him an engineering scholarship to the University of Illinois. Soon thereafter, he became a high school science teacher. Later on, after having worked in youth development programs, Rico took notice of the power in young people taking responsibility for their education; he decided to harness that power by opening his own community high school, which had a health clinic and provided classes for students learning English, in addition to general academics.
"The motivating factor was not wanting students to face the same obstacles I had faced," Rico said. "My passion has been to try to design education programs that value students, include their parents and expect high standards from everyone."
Rico's charge within ED is to link individuals and organizations from within and outside the education system to meet the local and national challenges faced by Hispanics today and spread the word about education initiatives in early learning, higher education, K-12 and other specific areas that focus on the Hispanic community. He also works to develop relationships with thousands of Hispanic leaders across the country who are implementing these changes.
Most recently, the White House Initiative and the White House Office of Public Engagement brought together more than 500 Hispanic community leaders for a Hispanic Community Action Summit in Los Angeles, the 17th regional summit organized by the office to address important issues such as: funding resources for pre-K-postsecondary education; health care; small business needs; immigration issues; and communication infrastructures among Latino organizations.
Local Leaders Want a Federal Partner
"Leaders on the ground want the federal government to be a partner," Rico says. "People in the Hispanic community want us to play a role. Some states have cut back on education and it has a big impact on the Hispanic community. People want us to work with them and bring a diverse group of stakeholders to the table."
Educating Latinos is not only important to their community, Rico emphasizes; it's critical for the country. In the last two years, Latinos have become the largest minority group in the nation's schools.
"I've seen the power education plays in a kid's life, regardless of where they come from. Education leads to a better job, and it is a way in which our country can fulfill the promise that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can be successful." Rico says. "There's no way of denying that the future of America depends on the education attainment of Hispanics."
Natalie Torentinos is a graduate student at The George Washington University and an intern in the Office of Communications and Outreach.

Catch and Release
Johnston Foster, a Richmond, VA-based artist, will present his fourth solo show, titled Catch & Release, at RARE from May 15 through June 19. He will exhibit a group of new sculptures created from salvaged materials gathered from highway medians, back roads, alleys, and dumpsters. Works include an 11-foot long, 12-legged tiger balancing a hornets' nest in its tail, a gutted shark giving birth to its offspring, a hornet-infested pizza, and a unicorn sinking in a tar pit.
The artist continues his exploration of fundamental sculptural ideas of shape and form by utilizing and breathing new life into things that consumers consign to the dust bin. Imparting a bold, readily recognizable rough-hewn aesthetic to materials and exhibiting an exuberant, almost child-like engagement with process, he infuses his objects with a combination of wide-eyed innocence and an open-ended sensibility that is simultaneously inviting and foreboding.
Foster is a hunter & gatherer who forages for his materials before even he knows what they will become. His art-making process finds its inspiration in the simple need to create things with his hands . . . nothing more . . . nothing less. While his guess as to what the end result will be is as good as anyone's, perhaps through a combination of subconscious compulsion and the utilization of materials that serve as a cultural X-ray, Foster is always saying something, or at least allowing viewers to "say" (or see) something through his work.
In the past, the artist's sculpture seemed to hold up a mirror to our less attractive cultural traits of materialism, greed, and wastefulness. In anticipation of the recent birth of his son, he has produced work of a different quality, inspired more than usual by the sheer life-affirming act of creating. Tucked into the new sculpture are glimpses of the joys and fears, and outright wackiness, associated with the responsibility for creating something out of the love of doing so.
The centerpiece of the exhibition, an 11-foot long tiger titled The Keeper (2010), which sports a multitude of eyes, legs, and paws, impresses as an act of creation gone amuck. However, one will not be hard pressed to find a measure of humanity in this beast. Weighted down by its own limbs while gently cradling a hornets' nest in its tail and transporting a swarm of hornets on its hindquarters, the tiger appears to be engaged in a symbiotic relationship.
In the more violent Catch & Release (2009), Foster still maintains a life-affirming stance – although viciously cut open and left to die, a mother shark has been forced to birth several babies that will continue on in her absence. Foster scatters a few other slices of life throughout his show: a whirling dervish of a pizza pie (Supreme, 2010) is being lifted off the ground by scores of hornets who find sustenance in its crust and toppings, while 25 severed tiger paws (Souvenir, 2010) are given lives of their own by the inclusion of an all-seeing eye in each one of them.
In 2004, Foster exhibited in one of the project rooms at PS 1 Contemporary Art Center in Long Island City, New York. A group exhibition at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco followed in 2005, along with a solo show at Brigham Young University Museum of Art in Utah. In the winter of 2007, Foster's second museum solo show took place at University Galleries, Illinois State University (catalog). He exhibited in December 2007 at Lieu d'Images et d'Art (LIA) in Grenoble, France, and was part of a group exhibition in October 2008 at CRAC Alsace in Altkirch, France. His third solo show at RARE in September 2008 preceded a one-person exhibition at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia (catalog). He made his European solo debut in 2009 at galerieXprssns in Hamburg and will be included in two group shows in 2010: at Kidspace at MASS MoCA (Fall 2010) and at the Torrance Art Museum in California (Summer 2010).

Summary: After high-definition, the next step in television displays will be 4K resolution. Some manufacturers are already showing screens around four times the resolution of high definition, with around four thousand pixels across, generally referred to as 4K. Some might suggest such high resolution is unnecessary in the home, but it may be technologically inevitable, whether the broadcast industry is ready or not. - informitv.comRead full article: informitv - 4K resolution displays bring…

Janovic Kills Ralph Lauren: Benjamin Moore is Spoiler
Less Choice. Just in time for the busiest painting season of the year, we just heard today that Janovic, now Benjamin Moore, has taken Ralph Lauren Paints and Pratt and Lambert off the shelves! That's it. No more. It's "exclusively Benjamin Moore" from now on (to quote one of the folks at the store on the phone right now).
Much as we admire Warren Buffet (owner of BM and Janovic), all of this has to do with the growing consolidation within the paint market. We blogged the before: What's Up With Janovic/Plaza?, but had no idea that the new owners of Janovic would be so stupid as to remove REALLY GOOD PRODUCTS from their shelves, all in the interest of selling more of their own paint.
While Ralph Lauren paint is not the best quality, its colors are awesome and the paint quality has improved.
We also heard that Benjamin Moore's paints are NO LONGER LATEX. Mark Chamberlain, who uses them every day, says they are now ACRYLIC based in order to make them tougher, but this makes it harder to paint and often makes the surface less smooth.
They apparently did this because Consumer Reports rated their paint below that of Behr on the "toughness" scale. Not caring much for "finish", Ben Moore changed their recipe to compete, losing the faith of good painters everywhere.
What's next?
To find Raph Lauren paints go to Home Depot.

I was super excited to hear that the wonderful people at Wood Creations wanted us to do a guest post for them. We all seriously love this store! If I'm not careful I can get into lots of trouble and go a little crazy with the cute projects in that store.......
I was also excited that they wanted us to do a 4th of July themed one. I am seriously lacking in my patriotic decor so I loved the chance to do this project. there are sooooo many cute projects there so you need to scurry on over there and get yours =)
Ok, now on to the tutorial:
This project was actually pretty simple to do. The hardest part was deciding which papers I wanted to use for it =)
"Stars and Stripes"
Here is my finished product. Now I'll show you the different steps I used to get to it.
Start out with your unfinished wood. I was happy that the stars came with the holes already in them to thread the wire through.
Start painting your letters. There's a lot of painting since the letters a bit bigger so feel free to recruit some help like I did. =) The colors I used for my letters were red, blue and silver (it was a light silver that covered the wood better then white)
I painted the bead board part of the star silver as well. It took a couple coats. Then when it was dry I sprayed it with some glitter to make it different the the rest of the star.. You can't see the glitter too well in the picture, but it's a subtle glitter that has lots of reds, blues, and silvers in them. It went perfect with it and didn't overpower the rest of it.
Then, once all my letters were dry, I figured out which ones I wanted to do scrapbook paper on and then which patterns I wanted to use. That took more time for me to decide than anything. =)
I just traced an outline the letters and shapes and then cut it out. Don't worry about them being perfect (unless you are a perfectionist and you like to have the edges exact)
Next get out your trusty mod podge and do a layer on the letters and shapes that you want to put scrap paper on. Then take the paper and smooth it down on the wood. To make sure and get all the bubbles out you could run something with a straight edge, like a credit card, over it. Then let it set and dry for a few minutes.
Since my lines and edges weren't exact, I got some sandpaper and sanded the excess off. This also gives the edges a distressed look when you are finished, which I love. You can distress it as much as you want but if you don't want a whole lot, just sand the very edge and it will get the paper off (or you could use an exact-o-knife to make it straight)
The next step, put your vinyl on. Make sure it is smooth and straight. I like to seal my paper and vinyle with a layer of mod podge over top as well. (I have kids that like to play with the letters so they need a little extra help to withstand them =) ) Then let it dry for a little while.
Then you can start adding your finishing touches. I decided to add a few extra stars and I used wire to wrap around the letters instead of ribbon. To give a swirly look to the wire just wrap it around a pencil or pen and then slide it off.
I did little curly cues with the wire in the cent of the stars
I did scrap paper on the star and then my sparkly bead board star. I was hoping takings the picture in the sun would show the sparkles but it didn't work like I thought.
I added some stars to the "S." I sprayed the "t" with some glitter too. I added some wiring with some curls to a few letters.
For my letter "R" I did a star in the middle where hole would usually go. (those are also sprayed with glitter) I also sprayed the "S" with some glitter spray too. In person the glitter is more noticeable and looks great. It gives it a subtle sparkle.
This was a fun project to do. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do it and to share it with everyone. I look forward to visiting the store a lot and getting more super cute crafts to do (just don't tell my husband where the extra money is going.....=) ) This is one of my favorite stores. I love that they have so many styles of crafts and that we take home the unfinished project and make it our own. Keep up the good work, Wood Creations!!!

Dwarf citrus trees are the perfect choice for people with limited growing space. Because citrus is an evergreen, it will be green all year around, and when the tree blossoms, it will fill the air with its sweet, citrusy aroma. Because of their short stature, dwarf citrus trees are easy to maintain, and the fruit, which is standard size, will be easy to reach. If you live in a location with freezing winters, plant a dwarf citrus in a pot so you can bring it indoors when the weather turns cold.
Purchase a dwarf citrus tree from a greenhouse or nursery. Look for a tree with a straight trunk and branches that grow outward evenly from the trunk. A locally-grown tree is preferable, because it will be suitable for your climate.
Choose a sunny, well-drained location for the dwarf citrus tree. To determine if the site has adequate drainage, dig a hole about 12 to 14 inches deep and fill it with water. It the water has drained in 3 hours, the soil drainage is fine.
Dig a hole about 20 inches deep, then use a garden fork to loosen the soil in the bottom of the hole. Add shovelful of compost to the bottom of the hole and work it in with the garden fork. Shovel part of the reserved soil back in the hole, and form a mound in the center.
Squeeze the tree's plastic container to loosen the roots, and carefully pull the citrus tree from its container. Loosen the roots and place the tree in the hole as you spread the roots around the mound. The graft line of the tree should be about 3 inches above the top of the ground, so adjust the mound, if necessary. The graft line looks like a diagonal scar on the trunk, about 6 inches above the top of the root system
Refill the hole with soil and tamp it down with your foot. Water the plant thoroughly, and add more soil if the ground has settled. Add a layer of grass clippings around the tree, and continue to replenish it through the growing season. Keep the clippings 6 inches away from the trunk because it's important that the graft line stays above ground level.
Water the dwarf citrus tree deeply every week. Citrus trees do better with deep watering that will encourage the growth of the roots, rather than more frequent, shallow watering.
Prune the tree in late winter or early spring. Dwarf citrus trees don't require much pruning, but it's helpful to trim the ends of branches to maintain the desired shape and size of the tree. Remove any long, thin branches and any branches that are growing in towards the center of the tree, rather than evenly outward.

For those of us that have kids, have you noticed that their behavior usually improves right before the holidays? No matter what their age or who they think the gifts are coming from, they are mindful that Christmas morning is fast approaching and they better be on their best behavior.
However, even the best of kids fall off the good behavior wagon now and then. I've heard of different ways parents improve the attitudes or behavior of their children when it gets closer to Christmas. As a parent of two rowdy boys, I've used some of these myself. Nothing works better these days than the threat of involving Santa Clause. Our kids know that 'ole Saint Nick has a vested interest in knowing if they've been bad or good, so they better be good for goodness sake!
The latest version of Christmas attitude adjustment I've heard about is the moving elf, the "Elf on the Shelf." The kids of the household know that the elf is there to watch over them and make sure they behave during the day. Each morning the elf "appears" in a different room, maybe on a book shelf or sitting on the pot rack in the kitchen watching the entire room. Although my kids are too old for this type of enforcement, I hear the elf works wonders!
I've personally had good success with the "1-800 Santa Claus" tactic. Each time my boys began to misbehave, I'd reach for the phone and let them know I was dialing Santa. In the age of cell phones I'm never far from my Santa Clause enforcement line. Sometimes, I even had conversations with the jolly old elf – that my kids could hear…well, they could hear only my side of the conversation! I imagine these days, most people would text Santa instead of call him. I can hear it now, "You better start behaving or I'm texting Santa to let him know what you just did!" Hopefully, parents won't text while driving and their kids are brawling in the back seat like two Ultimate Fighting contestants!
What are some of the tactics you've used in the past? Post a comment and let us know. Hope everyone has a safe holiday season, and remember, don't text Santa while driving or operating heavy machinery!

Seeking more information about spasticity? The Spasticity Alliance is here to help.
Following a stroke, you might experience problems with your vision, but you are not alone. Up to two thirds of people experience some changes to their vision after a stroke. Having trouble with your vision can be distressing and it can affect the rest of your recovery. For example, you may not be able to walk confidently if you cannot fully see where you are going. Like other effects of stroke, visual problems do often improve in time as the brain recovers.
What are some problems after stroke?
A stroke can cause a number of vision problems—also called visual disturbances. There are many types of vision problems and possible treatments for them. How you are affected depends on exactly where the stroke occurred in your brain. Post-stroke vision problems can fall into one of two general categories, vision loss or perception problems.
Vision loss also known as visual field loss, is common after stroke. Frequently it is experienced as blind spots in the field of vision. Specific visual field loss conditions are named based on the location and size of the visual loss. Different types of visual field loss include:
Damage to your brainstem and/or cerebellum makes it difficult to process what the eye sees, also known as vision perception problems. You may find it difficult to coordinate movement and focus your eyes resulting in double vision. It may affect your ability to blink, resulting in dry eyes. You may experience a variety of vision perception problems, depending on where the stroke occurs in your brain.
Common perception problems include:
The brain stem houses three pairs of nerves that control your eye movement. If they are damaged and do not allow one or both eyes to move together, you may experience double vision and visual midline shift.
Perception problems that result from brain stem damage are called ocular motility (or movement) impairments. For example, double vision results when your eyes are not able to work together to move into the correct position. Damage to the cerebellum can impair your ability to coordinate looking in the same direction with both eyes.
Both the brain stem and cerebellum play a role in sensation. Damage to these areas can lead to loss of feeling, which makes blinking difficult and causes blurry vision or visual neglect.
Can Vision problems be treated?
There are many treatments for visual disturbances. Consult with an optometrist, ophthalmologist or primary care provider for suggestions about specific vision problems, symptoms and treatment. Treatment plans will be customized to fit your vision problems and needs.
The goal in developing a treatment strategy for vision loss is to expand the visual field. Treatment can be broken down into three different categories:
There are several treatments designed to correct perception problems. Here are some common treatments for perception problems:

Born on March 10, 1983, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Carrie Underwood had put aside her singing dreams for a degree in broadcast journalism, but everything changed after she auditioned for American Idol during her senior year at Northeastern State University. She won the show's fourth season in 2005 and went on to win multiple Grammy, Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards. In 2008, at age 26, Underwood became the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry. Her hit albums include Carnival Ride, Play On and Blown Away.
Early Life
Singer, actress and activist Carrie Marie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Since winning the famed musical talent show American Idol in 2005, Underwood has emerged as one of the most popular female performers in country music today. She was born and raised on a farm. "I had a very happy childhood full of the wonderful simple things that children love to do," Underwood stated on her website. "Growing up in the country, I enjoyed things like playing on dirt roads, climbing trees, catching little woodland creatures and, of course, singing."
After graduating from high school, Underwood attended Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. There, she majored in broadcast journalism and put aside her dreams of becoming a singer. During her senior year, in 2004, Underwood decided to try out for American Idol. Not only did she pass that audition, but she went on to become the winner of the show's fourth season.
Commercial Success
Her debut album, Some Hearts (2005), was certified triple platinum, making it the fastest-selling female country album since the introduction of the Nielsen SoundScan in 1991. Her first single, "Inside Your Heaven," hit the top of the Billboard pop charts.
With "Jesus, Take the Wheel," Underwood then hit the top of the country charts. The song proved to be a critical success as well, winning Underwood the Academy of Country Music Award for single of the year, the Country Music Association Award for single of the year and two Grammy Awards, for best female country vocal performance and best new artist, in 2006.
In contrast to her softer-sounding material, Underwood also had great success with "Before He Cheats," a tale about a straying ex-boyfriend. The single won Underwood a Grammy for best female country vocal performance and a CMA Award for single of the year in 2007. That same year, Underwood released her follow-up album, Carnival Ride (2007). It reached the top of the album charts and scored several No. 1 country hits, including the singles "Last Name" and "All-American Girl."
Grand Ole Opry Inductee
On May 10, 2008, at the age of 26, Underwood was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry by country star Garth Brooks, becoming the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry. Later that year, in September 2008, Underwood won the CMA Award for female vocalist of the year—for the third consecutive time—for Carnival Ride. She was nominated for album of the year, but lost the award to George Strait. Underwood also hosted the CMA Awards with fellow country star Brad Paisley.
More Chart Toppers
In February 2009, Underwood won a Grammy Award (best female country vocal performance) for her song "Last Name"—her fourth Grammy in three years. In November 2009, she received two more CMA Award nominations, for female vocalist of the year and musical event of the year. She also hosted the event for the second time.
A few weeks before hosting the CMA Awards, Underwood released her third studio album, Play On, three songs from which went on to earn a No. 1 spot on the charts: "Cowboy Casanova," "Temporary Home" and "Undo It." The singer followed that success with Blown Away, released in May 2012, which had sold more than 1.4 million copies by the following year. The album's hits include "Blown Away," "Good Girl" and "Two Black Cadillacs."
In May 2013, it was announced that Underwood would be performing the Sunday Night Football theme song, taking over the coveted role for fellow country star Faith Hill, who performed "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" for the past six seasons of the weekly television broadcast. She continued her work on television as Maria in the retelling of the classic musical known as The Sound of Music (1965). The TV event, which was broadcast live, more closely followed the original 1959 musical than the classic film starring Julie Andrews. She starred opposite True Blood's Stephen Moyer, who played Captain Von Trapp. The television special received four Emmy nominations.
To celebrate her remarkable career, Underwood released Greatest Hits: Decade #1 in the fall of 2014. The album also featured some new material, including the hit "Something in the Water," which later earned a Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance. In autumn 2015 she dropped her fifth studio album, Storyteller, featuring the Top 5 country single "Smoke Break." Underwood kicked off the tour for Storyteller in February 2016, which will keep on the road until late May.
Personal Life
Carrie Underwood married NHL athlete Mike Fisher on July 10, 2010. In September 2014, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. Their son, Isaiah Michael Fisher, was born on February 27, 2015. Underwood announced his arrival via Twitter.

Good for sensory awareness
Susan Haken | 09/04/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"It's not my absolute favorite in the series, but that's not much of a criticism as the entire series is excellent! Unlike the Potty training video which has 3 episodes, but only one dealing with the potty, this DVD contains three episodes all dealing with the senses.
"Smell-o-Rama", which deals with the sense of smell, has a guest appearance by Snook the skunk, a character I found to be not much more than a shallow stereotype and rather annoying -- I'm hoping he doesn't show up again. Other than that it was a cute episode.
"The Senseless Detectives" focuses on all five of the senses and while it doesn't go in depth over each one, it covers the basics and is a cute show. They explore new genres in the songs which I found entertaining, even though they are a bit harder to sing to.
"Water, Water Everywhere" still deals with the senses but to a lesser extent as it also focuses on (big surprise) water and it's properties (clear, wet, what shape is it?, state changes, etc.)
Like I said, it's not my favorite, but I'd still recommend it for anyone with a toddler."
Love it

Monday morning s are always hard, even harder after a week off so having a lesson to do while trying out new technologies was always going to be daunting. I was nervous about doing this class because of the new technologies as I was worried about showing the students things and then for them not to work correctly as I don't have the most confidence with MAC's or had ever tried this before but I thought the technology aspect went alright in the end.
In the class today I tried out a new remote for the smart board which worked really well and allowed me to move around the class more rather than be linked to the computer which was well worth the investment however my concerns were that it might not work with the MACs. It would have been an inconvenience if it hadn't worked but it wouldn't have been the end of the world as I would have had to make do without like I had already.
I also set up a Kahoot quiz for the students which also went down well, one issue was that the computers hindered the students view to the questions however I did wonder if this was going to be an issue so made sure the questions had enough time on them for me to read out the possible answers. The quiz featured two examples which all the students should have known and most did do really well so had remembered what was covered before half term, so the Kahoot was a good form of assessment. The discussions with the questions again did falter with the students not speaking out so I need to really tackle this aspect of students sharing their opinions, I really hope that once we have moved and the class is more together around a table then they speak out more as the group will be able to develop more group discussions that way easier.
The big issue for this class was introducing the class to One Note and getting the students using the Class note book that I set up for them. I did ask them to save work to the class notebook and although I did see at least one student using one note nothing was saved to the class notebook so it could be that she was using her personal notebook. This was something I had asked the students to be aware of due to their issues with saving (the student who was using it was one of those that had particular issues) however I would like to see them using it more so I'll be sure to bring it up with them again. Some students said they had issues with their email so they have been advised to seek IT as this should not be a problem at this stage in the year. Obviously this form of saving will not suit everyone, especially as some students write straight into their books but for those that do type I want to get them to try it so I feel I should set them a task for them to have to upload something.
The rest of the class ran smoothly with the students working on their own projects and research, I am however beginning to find it difficult when it comes to discussing work with some students as there hasn't been as much progress as there should so I feel I am repeating myself with telling them what they need to be doing. I am going through SMART target setting with another group so I think going through this with my morning group would also be beneficial to have better tracking of what the students are doing and to see who should be progressing faster than they should.

Brief Introduction:
The inhalation of the ultrasonic nebulizer adopts the ultrasonic cavitation to disperse the medicine liquid in the air, and make it to mist granule (aerosol). It inhaled directly through the respiratory tract lesions in the role of a partial treatment. It makes use of this technologies to produce large amount of aerosol mist and small granule of fog (0.5~5um) equably.
It can be inhaled deep to alveolus and bronchial tree, so that the medicine liquid can deposit deep in respiratory tract, and achieve the effect of health care and treatment.

The amount of drug therapy for the treatment takes just one-tenth of the traditional therapy means. It does not pass through human organs but have effect on the part of focus. This has a decrease of gastrointestinal drugs in the liver and kidneys and other organs of the degradation, and have reduced side effects. Atomization is a non-invasive therapy treatment, it needs short course of treatment but take effect quickly.And it alleviates patient's pain and inconvenience who takes an injections and medication.
How to use a nebulizer ?
Nebulizer turns your asthma medicine into a mist. It is easy and pleasant to breathe the medicine into your lungs this way. If you use a nebulizer, your asthma medicines will come in liquid form.
With a nebulizer, medicine goes into your lungs when you take slow, deep breaths for 10 to 15 minutes.
Many patients with asthma do not need to use a nebulizer. Another way to get your medicine is with an inhaler. Inhalers work just as well, and they are easier to use.
Most nebulizers are small, so they are easy to carry with you. Most nebulizers use air compressors. A different kind uses sound vibrations. These are called "ultrasonic nebulizers." They are quieter, but they cost more money.
It takes some time to keep your nebulizer clean and working properly.
These are the basic steps to set up and use your nebulizer:
- Connect the hose to an air compressor.
- Fill the medicine cup with your prescription.
- Attach the hose and mouthpiece to the medicine cup.
- Place the mouthpiece in your mouth. Breathe through your mouth until all the medicine is used. (Most times, this takes 10 to 15 minutes). Some people use a nose clip to help them breathe only through their mouth. Small children usually do better if they wear a mask.
- Wash the medicine cup and mouthpiece with water, and air dry until your next treatment.
Who uses a nebulizer?
- Respiratory patients in hospitals and emergency rooms
- Babies and young children.
- Elderly patients, including COPD patients.
- Patients receiving a medication that can only be delivered with a nebulizer.
- Any patient for whom MDI or DPI devices are insufficient.
Nebulizer safety
Always wash your hands before peparing a nebulizer treatment.
Follow manufacture's instructions carefully to clean and disinfect the nebulizer cup and mouthpiece/mask . Rinsing and washing in soapy water will remove debris and excess medication, but disinfecting will get rid of bacteria that may be present.
For disinfecting, many manufactures recommend diluting white vinegar in distilled water (one part vinegar with 3 parts water); a few require special solutions purchased from a medical supply store or the nebulizer manufacturer.
Make sure your nebulizer system is completely dry before you put it away .store it in a clean, dry, dust-free location.

St Cronan's Day Pilgrim Walk
The sun shined brightly on the very successful 5th annual St. Cronan's Day Pilgrim/ Friendship walk organised by a small committee comprising of Adrian Hewson, Andrew Walsh, Margaret Ryan and Joan Murray.
The theme of this years' walk was 'Anniversaries', remembering groups such asthe Chamber of Commerce which celebrates its 50th year in Roscrea this year. Beginning at the Methodist church Rev Brian Griffin welcomed everyone into the church, while his wife Eirene led the congregation on the organ in singing the hymn 'All people that on earth do dwell'. Sadly we wished Brian and Eirene farewell as Brian retires from his ministry and they leave Roscrea later this year. The walk then proceeded to St. Cronan's NS Rosemount, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, where on St. Cronan's monastic lands the Book of Dimma was written in the 8th century. All those associated with education in Roscrea were acknowledged including the various religious orders, technical schools, hedge schools and primary schools, a tradition which can be traced back to St. Cronan's time. In the heat of the summer sun, images from the book of Dimma were presented to representatives of the local denominations within the town. The walk then proceeded via the Knock road to Kennedy park, celebrating its 50th year and has been home to many people now for half a century. Dom Richard Purcell ocso read the Gospel while children from Kennedy Park led those gathered in appropriate prayers. The walk concluded at St. Cronan's Services, Grange by kind invitation of Patsy King and Mary Smith. It was here that the specially designed souvenir bookmarks were blessed and in conclusion all sang 'Bind us together Lord' led by Dom Richard Purcell ocso. We would especially like to thank all the staff and clients of St. Cronan's Services, Grange who treated all the walkers to the finest cup of Roscrea hospitality and refreshments in the tradition of St. Cronan setting the bar for future walks. We are also very grateful to Andrew and Mary Walsh whose bus provided the walkers with transport back to the town centre. It was a very successful and memorable day for all.

We have tried to anticipate some of your questions about Cornerstone and the service we offer on this page. If you need more information or have other questions, we look forward to speaking with you. Call our office at (217) 222-8254 and let us help!
How do I know that I need to get help?
If you're generally unhappy, if you think you worry too much about things, maybe there's been a traumatic event or a significant change in your life that has become overwhelming that interferes with your daily life and even is beginning to damage your health….then seeing a professional to help you sort things out is a good idea.
What should I do to prepare for my first visit?
For the most efficient use of your time, please complete the Client Registration Form and bring it with you when you come for the first time. You can also contact your insurance company to verify your mental health coverage if you wish, otherwise, our business office staff will be happy to contact your insurance company for you. You may also want to make a list of questions you have about counseling. Your therapist will be happy to discuss any questions with you.
What happens in my first appointment?
Generally, the first appointment is a "get acquainted" session. Your therapist will ask you some questions so she understands what your concerns are and what you hope to accomplish by coming for counseling. Your therapist will also answer any questions you bring to the first visit.
How many sessions will I have to come to?
The number of sessions varies depending on many factors, including your goals. Cornerstone therapists normally provide short-term treatment. This will be an on-going discussion between you and your therapist.
Do you accept insurance?
Cornerstone is a Preferred Provider for most insurance companies. Not all therapists are enrolled in every health plan. For your convenience, we will bill your insurance company directly if you wish. We request that you pay your co-payments at the time of service. You may want to contact your insurance company for details of your coverage. Patients are responsible for what insurance doesn't pay.
I get some free sessions through my employer. What if I use them all but still have some things I need to continue working on?
Most Employee Assistance Programs allow clients to continue with services, and some will authorize an additional limited number of sessions. We will be happy to bill your insurance company for any sessions you need when your EAP sessions are exhausted.
How do I know if my employer offers Employee Assistance Program benefits?
Many local employers recognize the value in providing an Employee Assistance Program. Cornerstone is a provider for most of these programs too. The best way to find out if your employer offers an EAP is to contact your employer's human resources office.
What if I don't like my therapist?
Sometimes personalities just don't "click," and at Cornerstone we understand that the relationship between client and therapist is the most important factor in successful treatment. You are encouraged to talk with your therapist about the relationship if it isn't working. Or, contact the Clinical Supervisor to discuss your concerns. She can you match with a therapist who better fits your style.
Or, what if I like my therapist just fine, but she just doesn't seem to be helping me all that much. Can I get a different therapist?
Liking a therapist doesn't always guarantee success. This is an issue that is always up for discussion between you, the therapist, and the Clinical Supervisor if necessary. We want to meet your needs and help you accomplish your goals in counseling.
I had to quit seeing my last therapist because he said I was trying to "direct my own treatment." He seemed to be angry at me for not taking all of his suggestions. Will it be that way with a therapist at Cornerstone?
Because Cornerstone therapists consider themselves to be partners and guides, your input is absolutely vital for you to achieve your goals! Your therapist might offer some ideas or suggestions, but you are free to use what makes sense to you!
I've heard about something called "treatment protocols," like if I have depression then I have a treatment packet. That seems like a "one size fits all" approach to treatment. Do Cornerstone therapists use treatment protocols, or is there a more individualized approach?
Some people find a "prescriptive" approach to treatment very organized and comfortable. Others do not care for it. You and your therapist will decide together how therapy will proceed.
Is there anything special about Cornerstone?
We think there a quite a few reasons to choose Cornerstone as your mental health provider. We are located in what was formerly a family home, so it feels warm and comfortable rather than like a doctor's office. As a small practice, we tend to be a bit more "user-friendly" than larger practices. Finally, we use what is referred to as a "best practice" treatment approach called Client-Directed, Outcome-Informed which simply means we help you accomplish your goals in counseling.
What do I need to do to get started?
It's really simple. Just call 222-8254! Our receptionist, Elena, will get some basic information, like your name and insurance company, and she will give you an appointment time that is convenient for you.
The whole idea of seeing a counselor is sort of scary…and kind of embarrassing. Will I be judged?
All of us have times when we need a little help. We get overwhelmed, confused or simply don't know what to do. This is just part of life. There needn't be any embarrassment; we've all been there. Remember, a therapist is a regular person like you with training to help you work through these challenging times. A therapist is there to help you, not judge you. You are not forced to talk about anything you don't want to talk about.
Counseling might be too expensive for me. What are my options?
We try very hard to keep our costs low as possible while still providing you with the highest quality of care. Sliding scale is available to clients without health insurance and is based on household income and size. We accept most insurance, Medicare, cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. We do ask for payment at time of service.
We do receive some funding from the United Way of Adams County for clients who do not have health insurance or other means to pay. Sliding scale funding is based on households income and size. Clients who receive financial support from the United Way will have a co-pay due at the time of service.
What about my privacy?
Your privacy is important to you and to Cornerstone. Federal law protects you from disclosure of your health information without your consent. Please refer to the Notice of Privacy Practices posted here. Our information systems are protected by appropriate firewalls.
Further, we believe your privacy is better protected because we are a small group practice. Fewer people have access to information about you. Normally, only your therapist will have access to your information. If we are billing your insurance company, the billing office will have access to certain information that is needed to file insurance claims, including dates of service and diagnosis.

Red is a very strong color and everything red around gets a bit over-whelming. It brings life and vigour to your decor but how much? Decide whether to make red the focus or the accent color in the room. Let us see how we can do it to make it dazzle your space!
The Floor Space
Starting with the floor, try a dark wood, covered in the center with a red Oriental or cotton rug. Try to use reds which tend toward the burgundy or deep red rather than the flashy version of the hue. The depth of color brings with it a safe sophistication that warms the room. Decorate your sofa with golden or floral print cushions to make it more inviting.
Now the Wall Space
One of the wall in your study could be painted bold red. Black and white or abstract pictures frames would make a statement of strength and stability.
Signature Piece of Furniture
A signature piece of furniture...maybe an ottoman or a single chair or maybe just a bright red upholstery over a stool changes the look of the space. Try non matching chairs that still match the color scheme of your rooms, you can look out for this unique type of furniture on my website www.lively-wood.com rather than the big department stores.Its always recommended to break the monotony of the dark or light colour sofa set.
Bold Red Accents & Patterns
If you do not want to indulge in too much red, patterns are simply wonderful for borders, backsplashes, floors, accent tiles. Patterns are especially good choices when you don't have a lot of space to work with and also when you don't want too much of red.
Lively-wood is all about art, decor, colours, hand-crafted furniture, architecture and so on. From subtle to bold, ethnic to contemporary, each post and article is a unique observation or tip. It is a blog that assists you in your daily chores, seasonal change, crafts and opens new ideas to different art around the world.

The NFL Is Calling Washington Huskies QB Jake LockerOctober 10, 2009
Perusing the top 32 pro prospects for the NFL yields a dazzling list of talented players at top programs around the country.
On name sticks out at No. 6—not because of his name, but because of the school he plays for. ESPN has Washington Huskies quarterback Jake Locker listed at No. 6 overall.
Hard to believe that ranking for a player on a team that has underachieved to such a large degree, indeed for a player many believe has underachieved so far in his career.
Locker has a couple things working towards this ranking: NFL size and speed, NFL strength, and his knowledge of working in a pro-style offense under head coach Steve Sarkisian.
Sarkisian's offense has turned around a player who averaged 47.3 on his passing two years ago—he now averages 57.4.
Let's not forget game-tying and game-winning drives against Notre Dame and USC, respectively.
Locker's prospects have skyrocketed over the last couple months. If you ever watch ESPN pro-prospect coverage with Todd McShay, you will see McShay completely gush about Locker.
It's impressive when you look at the quarterbacks that may come out this year, including the likes of Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, and Tony Pike, not to mention star junior Jimmy Clausen as well. It is high praise to be mentioned second in that group only to Bradford.
If you are a Husky fan, it has to cause a lot of worry. Looking at the struggles of Tebow and Bradford with injuries, it's hard to argue against taking the money and running.
It would probably benefit Locker in the long run to stay and work longer in the offense, and gain that all important experience. Who can say what will happen?
If Locker does leave, where does that leave the Huskies?
Ronnie Fouch and Keith Price are the only scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, and neither has gotten any experience so far this season. Fouch was less than memorable in his eight starts for the Huskies last season.
Recruit Nick Montana is highly touted, but comes up a little short on the physical side—much like his father—and may need time to grow into the role of a Division I quarterback.
Sarkisian is most likely looking into the possibility of Locker pulling a Mark Sanchez and entering the draft. There is a lot of weight heading in that direction over the last month.
Who knows, though? Locker's commitment has always been above reproach, and he could come back for the good of the team.
He could also take a nosedive in terms of his progress in the second half of the season and prove to the scouts he needs another year.
It will be an interesting saga to watch play out over the next several months.

I HAVE a FAMILY TREE with tribalpages.com CHECK IT OUT THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD HELP TOO.
I'm not related or researching these names, but I did find the following for you...
Found this old post from 2006 at the Blackwell Family Genealogy Forum
"...Does anyone know Calem Blackwell that married Lula Myrtle Killcrease. I'm not sure if the name is spelled Calem, or Kalem. I do know that they had a set of twins Edna earl and Carman Earsel. Lula parents are Frederick Kilcrease and Alice Blaxkwell HELP!
thank Karen O'Toole..."
And another old posting from 2003 Blackwell Family Genealogy Forum - John E. Blackwell & Martha Allie Gunter, Covington Co. AL by someone called Albert.
"...I am searching for any relatives and any descendants or collateral families of John E. Blackwell and Martha Allie Gunter and family. They migrated from the Orangeburg area in SC in the latter part of the 1800s, to Covington Co., AL: Ref: Covington Co., AL Federal Census, Fairefield Precinct 2, Enumeration 35, sheet 19. My name is A.C. Blackwell, Jr. These are my grandparents.
I am trying to identify who John E.'s parents are and any siblings. My line descends from the son of Nancy Viola Jane Lawson and James Milton Blackwell [Covington Co.,AL]. Her parents are William "Willie" R. Lawson [b. 1860], son of James P. Lawson [b. Taylor Co., GA, 1838] [GA to Crenshaw Co,AL late 1800s], and Emma Battle, daughter of Ruben Battle [b. 1833, GA] and Elizabeh Kilcrease [Taliaferro Co., GA to Brantley AL late 1800s]. Viola's sister, Mary Battle married Lenrand Lawson [b. 1869, GA], in Covington Co., AL, who is William R. Lawson's Brother.
Would also like to know where they are buried and what happened to tham after 1900 census.
I believe John E. Blackwell must have siblings in AL and possible back in SC as well. Any information you are willing to share will be greatly appreciated, as will any corrections to my information. I will also share all info I have on any of these families.
Email me at [email protected]

On our previous trek to Marloorgundi and Goodlugundi we had got to see the huge waterfalls called "Belligundi" on the adjacent mountain. The guide had confirmed that it is a 8.5kms trek in deep forest one side. We had decided to explore this falls and hence came up with the plan to head to Belligundi. Its a good trek with decent difficulty level if you are carrying tents and other heavy equipment. It would be really very difficult to try this out in the monsoons(not advisable) as for the entire stretch of 8+kms it's thick forest infected with leeches. Also during monsoon it might not be possible to go towards the falls as you will have walk on the river bed for the last 1km if you want to go anywhere near to the falls.
We started pretty late from Bangalore and by the time we reached the starting point of the trek it was 11am in the morning. After having a quick chat with the guide we started with the trek pretty fast. The trek starts from the house of the guide itself. 1/2km from the guide's house and you enter the thick forests of western ghats. The forests in this area is pretty dense you hardly get to see the sky until the last 1km of the trek. The forests are so thick that without guide or GPS and with minimal human intervention in the area you might be lost for ever! We couldn't even hear the sound of such a big water falls until the last one Km, that way it was a bit different from many other treks. Mostly we try to hit the peak to get a good view of the landscape and try to identify where we are, but this trek was a bit different. The feel was like we are wandering in a thick forest where in every side looked like it was trail making it very easy to get lost.
We were walking at a decent pace and covered around 6kms of the trek in around 2-3 hrs after that one of our team member was stuck with severe cramps on his legs which dropped the pace. After around 4hrs finally we managed to come out of the forest and hit the river bed and from here you get to see the magnificent falls for the first time at a distance of around 1km. The last 1km of the trek is on the river bed walking/jumping on the huge rocks. That is the reason it is not advisable to trek in monsoon as you might not be able to go towards the falls in monsoon.
The falls looks really big and probably for the first time I experienced something like this, standing below such a huge waterfalls was an experience worth after a good 8.5kms hard trek. Just like many other water falls getting below the water falls is really tricky and slippery. We spent some good time sitting below the water falls and enjoying the wilderness of our life. My only regret from the trek was i couldn't make good photos of the falls. Many a times either I was very tiered for taking a picture or there was no proper lighting or such a big falls never came in a single frame or water droplets covered my lens :-(.
There is a huge rock 1km away from the waterfalls and this was our base camp, this was the place were we spent our night as well. It was an experience to sleep in front of such a huge waterfalls, had never done that before and it was awesome experience. Got up a bit early in the morning and went towards the falls again to get a good view of the waterfalls on a peaceful morning. We also got to see a couple of caves near the river bed but then didn't wanted to take the risk of exploring the same.
At around 8am we started heading back to the starting point and with all the luggage, it was really a steep climb for almost 2-3kms. Many of us struggled and we managed to come back in around 4hrs without any major hiccups and our guide was pretty impressed with our fitness :-).
Over all a very good trek, got to test ourselves after a decently long break. Like my new resolution i wouldn't give either the GPS trails or the details of the location for the same old reason that I don't want these places to be known to many and get spoiled. At least I will try to maintain this philosophy not to disclose the location for waterfalls. I have seen many waterfalls which has been badly littered. I would think of giving information about the location only to selected few who are trust worthy and are sensible enough.


text: Boy Scouts of America likes to build individuals of solid character who know how to work well with others. And that attribute was on display Monday as silver shovels entered the ground at 1340 South Bend Ave. (Indiana 23), South Bend, and turned over the dirt for the new Morris-1st Source Scout Center. The official groundbreaking took place in front of the walls to the foundation, which are already in place for the $1.5 million, 8,740-square foot facility on the city's northeast side. Located at the site of the former Sears Service Building, the new facility is expected to be done by early spring 2007, Patrick Bridges, scout executive/CEO, said. It sits next to Fredrickson Park, a former dump turned into environmental park featuring tall prairie grass and a pond. "We are just elated," said Ken Sherry, LaSalle council commissioner, project representative for the Boy Scouts. "It's been in the planning for three years. It's an exciting project, a fun project." "It's a very unique collaboration for the Boy Scouts," added Bridges. "It also says something of South Bend, South Bend Schools and Notre Dame all working together to help youth. You do not see this everywhere." The new facility will feature offices for the LaSalle Council staff and volunteers, a large conference center, a trading post, storage areas and education modules for students who will also use the facility as part of the South Bend Community Schools Corp. curriculum.

I have wanted to compost forever but was just too lazy or confused, (or is that dazed and confused?) as how to start and how to keep the dogs out. Then, I saw this YouTube video:
and besides wanting to move next door to this woman, yes in Australia, I thought that this looked doable! So, follow along to see the evolution of our "chateaux des wormies"!
First, get a Godfather that, when you say, "Hey, I was thinking of making a composting worm tunnel." replies, "I have some PVC tubing and a drill. Let's do it."
We drilled about 15 holes all around the bottom 2/3 of the PVC pipe.
Then, find a beautiful spot in your garden and dig a hole
that is deep enough to cover all of those worm holes.
I forgot the other important part of the Godfather requirement;
make sure he has some good manure laying around.
Howard the Steer was our manure producer.
He did a superb job. So, PVC tube is in the ground, manure goes in the tube:
Photo credits: Dominic Zappia. So, manure, then Hey! Hay! Sorry...
The kids were more than happy to help with the hay, the manure? Not so much.
After the hay is the best part of all...
My Godfather said not to waste our money on "compost worms" because they are really
the same this as red leaf worms. Our local bait shop had both "red" and "leaf" worms, so
I went with the "leaf". Aren't they beautiful?
Manure, hay, we threw in a bit of dirt, then the WORMS!
Happy worms.
Now, something that we have been cooking up for our dream worms on our counter...compost!
My patient husband was a bit grossed out, but this compost was nice and warm on its own!
When we threw it in, it was steaming!
Yummy! Well, at least the worms thought so.
Some dry leaves and stems for good measure...hay after that.
And then the question of how to cover it so air can get in, but Jerry and other critters can not.
For now, Sophia came up with the idea of plastic wrap so we can see what's happening:
Eventually, we are going to get a mesh and a pot to cover up the whole thing, just like my Australian friend recommended.
So there it is! Our worm tunnel is in the tomato plant section of our garden, so we are hoping for extra juicy tomatoes, fertilized by our wormy buddies.
One great result of the tunnel thus far is that the kids are eating even more fruits and veggies so that they can run out and feed the peels to the worms!
We will keep you posted as to how everything turns out.
Oh! And if you want the deluxe, super-duper worm garden, you have to go back to the Godfather again and ask for a totem animal/night watchman.
No one messes with our attack bunny!
Happy Spring!
Jessica and Family

Practice Areas
CBP Reviewing Info Collections on Import Bonds, Declaration of Owner/Consignee, Haiti HOPE Act
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is accepting comments on the proposed extension without change of the following information collections.
- CBP Forms 301 and 5297, Importation Bond Structure: Bonds are used to assure that duties, taxes, charges, penalties and reimbursable expenses owed to the government are paid; to facilitate the movement of cargo and conveyances through CBP processing; and to provide legal recourse for the government for noncompliance with laws and regulations. Each person who is required by law or regulation to post a bond in order to secure a customs transaction must submit the bond on CBP Form 301.
Surety bonds are usually executed by an agent of the surety, which grants authority to the agent via CBP Form 5297, Corporate Surety Power of Attorney. This power is vested with CBP so that when a bond is filed the validity of the authority of the agent executing the bond and the name of the surety can be verified. (comments due by April 2)
- CBP Form 3347, Declaration of Owner, and CBP Form 3347A, Declaration of Consignee When Entry is Made by an Agent: CBP Form 3347 is a declaration from the owner of imported merchandise stating that he/she agrees to pay additional or increased duties, thus releasing the importer of record from paying such duties. This form must be filed within 90 days from the date of entry.
When entry is made in a consignee's name by an agent who has knowledge of the facts and is authorized under a proper power of attorney by that consignee, a declaration from the consignee on CBP Form 3347A must be filed with the entry summary. If this declaration is filed, no bond to produce a declaration of the consignee is required. (comments due by May 2)
- Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement Act of 2006 – The Haiti HOPE Act provides for duty-free treatment for certain apparel articles and certain wire harness automotive components from Haiti. Those wishing to claim such treatment must prepare a declaration of compliance that identifies and details the costs of the beneficiary and non-beneficiary components of production to show that the 50% value content requirement was satisfied. (comments due by April 2)

"The Bone Knife" by Intisar Khanani
Pub Date: Oct. 25, 2012
My Copy: eBook, 24 pages
Find this book on: Goodreads
Rae knows how to look out for family. Born with a deformed foot, she feigns indifference to the pity and insults that come her way. Wary of all things beautiful, Rae instantly distrusts their latest visitor: an appallingly attractive faerie. Further, his presence imperils the secret her sister guards. But when the local townspeople show up demanding his blood, Rae must find a way to protect both her sister's secret and their guest. Even if that means risking herself.
I'm having trouble trying to figure out what exactly to say about this story. It is only 24 pages, so there's not much to talk about for the review. I guess I will say that I wasn't all that fond of the story. I'm not sure if it was the length getting in the way of development of the characters and the plot, but I just couldn't really get into the short story. The story failed to capture my interest and I didn't connect with the characters. I thought that the quality of writing was very good, though. "The Bone Knife" is a prequel short story to a trilogy that will begin to be published in 2013. I assume that the trilogy will be better, because Khanani will have more room to fully develop the characters and the plot.
I'm just not sure that this idea for a story is meant to be in short story form. I think it would do better as a full-length novel, which is why the trilogy should be much better. I would recommend for readers to skip this story and just read the novels in the trilogy when they come out. But, if you are pumped about the upcoming trilogy and want to learn about the characters beforehand, by all means read "The Bone Knife". I hope you enjoy it more than I did!
