For as long as I can remember I have always been a lover of fashion, photography, books, theater and well, most things creative. After the birth of my daughter I longed for the clothes that I pictured when reading my favorite childhood stories, listened to beautiful music and imagined different worlds. I dreamed, planned and stitched together a few things for her and Little Lotti was born.
I find inspiration all around me, in the faces of my four children, in quiet moments stolen with my husband and best friend. Colors and moods, fabrics and sunlight, storybooks and fleeting moments. The world around me is my muse and I am thrilled to be able to do what I truly love everyday.
This shop is my little corner of the web where I can share my love of design for little ones. Forest & Bloom strives to capture the uninhibited imagination and pure innocence of childhood with clothing collections that are story-book inspired, classic, whimsical and beautiful.
xo, Brandie

Is there life beyond Earth? That's the question a group of people I was with this weekend were asking themselves as we explored some crop circles that have recently formed in some wheat fields outside Berlin.
I was accompanying the group for a radio story I'm working on for Deutsche Welle, tying it in to the recent announcement of a new Stephen Hawking project to search for extraterrestrial life (it will air in the next few days on Inside Europe). It was a group of 15 or so youngish people from Berlin curious about UFOs, and you should have seen the looks we were getting as we walked through this small town in Brandenburg.
Perhaps the most alarmed look came as we emerged from the wheat fields. We had stopped to have a picnic within the crop circles, and when we were sitting down we were not visible from the road. Suddenly we all stood up, collected our things and started walking out of the field. I could see an elderly couple had stopped with their bikes and were staring at us, with a mixture of confusion and disapproval. "You guys, we're about to get deutsched," I told the group.

Blogging Friends October Blog Hop
Welcome to the "Blogging Friends Blog Hop".
Who are the "Blogging Friends"? We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators located all across the U.S. and Canada who have never met before. Well, actually, we still haven't met yet (in person)... But through our common bond of Stampin' Up! and a shared love of paper crafting, we have created a fun new blog hop. Please join us on the 1st of every month to see what wonderful things we have created.
Each month we'll have a different theme: this month it's all about Halloween
Welcome to October! I wasn't sure at first if anyone sends Halloween cards. I don't but maybe I should start. The decision was made to CASE the holiday catalog. The sunset background was so pretty but I changed up the purple to use the new In Color, Fresh Fig.
The raven is just sitting on the decorative gate with the bats fly around looking for something to eat. I cut a slit on the latch section of the lock so that it looks like it fits behind the gate. If you dare, take the key and open the lock.
Now when you think of Halloween what do you think of? Is it the costumes, the tricks kids pull or the treats you give out to the kids? Well since I do not get many kids visiting my house to Trick or Treat. I make a few extra special treats to give out. Of course they need to be all decked out in Stampin' Up! products. So this Clear Mini Treat box is ready to handout to all the "Batmans", Spidermans", "Harley Quinns", ghosts and so on.
These candies were found at my local Dollar Tree and they are chocolate crisp eye balls.
In case you've never 'done' a blog hop before, its really easy! At the bottom of this post, you'll see another image similar to the one above, and when you click on it, you'll be taken directly to the next blog in the hop. Keep clicking on that image at the bottom of each blog post, and you'll hop through all the participating blogs, back to where you started - and you'll see all the amazing projects and maybe inspire you too! If you'd prefer to hop about at your leisure, you can click on the individual links for each blog. Happy Hopping!
We'd love if you would leave us some comments (aka - Blog Love) to let us know what you think.

Rick Small's Walla Walla winery, Woodward Canyon, was one of the first to showcase Washington grapes and winemaking talent. When we opened Salut! Wine Co. in 2002, we placed his 1999 Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon into a Washington vs. California Cabernet tasting event. We were proud of our state when the 1999 Cab beat Grgich Hills and Ch. Ste. Jean's Cing Cepages for the favorite wine of the night!
The 1999 Artist Series was a hard wine to beat. We tasted and waited as the 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 couldn't quite reach the heights of what had become a tasting classic for the shop. In 2004, a devastating freeze added yet another twist and wrinkle. 2005 didn't quite hit the spot yet, even though it received great scores. What can I say — we're very picky. So with eager anticipation we awaited the 2006. Alas, we have a winner!
The 2006 has already garnered a 91 point score from Wine Enthusiast magazine, with this description:
"Predominately Sagemoor vineyard, along with some Champoux and estate grapes, inclucing some old vine fruit and 13% Syrah. Somehow, the Artist Series Cabernet has an open softness that seems more like Merlot; it's lush and approachable, sleek and liquorous, dotted with malted milk/chocolate highlights around deep back cherry fruit. The aromas are lovely, though at first taste it sags a bit in the late going; the fruit falls off and chocolaty notes take over. The tannins have a little green tea flavor"
The characteristics are truly representative of the Northwest version of well-made Cabernet — great to drink younger than California versions, more representative of the terroir and vintage, and without the bullying power of tannins and fullness sought in production down south. This is not a California Cab, nor is it trying to be. It isn't a fine Bordeaux and doesn't need to be. It's a reflection of a budding new world-class wine producing region.
Drink up the structure and more relaxed lushness of this delicious release. Follow along through the years with later releases of this wine as Rick Small continues to demonstrate how each vintage is different, how great vintages can bring truly wonderful wines, and the heights to which Washington can leap when talent, weather and terroir combine so well.
This wine is available at Salut! Wine Co. for $42.99, or available to wine club members for only $38.69!

Today I'm back with Part 2 of the zucchini posts, so I'll pick up where I left off. On the same trip to Hawaii, I also had a moment. You might call it a lightbulb, a-ha, game changing moment, and it's all thanks to zucchini. You might think it was all thanks to kale, but it turns out that kale was hardly the most surprising part of this recipe.
Also, it's safe to say that all of our bodies must be telling us something. As I was working on this post, another wonderful blogger also posted her take on a creamy dressing for kale, and Twitter chronicled our cravings and adaptation ideas as well. I love being in good company this way.
About halfway through my Hawaiian kale salad I walked up to the counter and asked what they put in the dressing. Ingredients included zucchini, nutritional yeast, flax, and garlic. She rattled off the list but I was still fixated on the zucchini. It was a marvelous idea and the perfect thickener, ensuring that the dressing will hold up to the kale leaves. When I got home, I wanted to use a nut oil to drive home the walnut flavor and really make the dressing sing even more.
But let's not forget about poetry. Last week we read the first half, and today, we close with Piercy summing up zucchini's bounty, juxtaposed by our urgent need to bottle, pickle and savor it before the season becomes just a memory.
Attack of the Squash People
by Marge Piercy
**Read Part 1
...Sneak out before dawn to drop
them in other people's gardens,
in baby buggies at churchgoers.
Shot, smuggling zucchini into
mailboxes, a federal offense.
With a suave reptilian glitter
you bask amend your raspy
fronds sudden and huge as
alligators. You give and give
too much, like summer days
limp with heat, thunderstorms
bursting their bags on our heads,
and we salt and freeze and pickle
for the too little to come.
If the words raw vegan salad have you running for the hills, this recipe will rock your world, promise. The secret, it turns out, is the dressing. Kale is a sturdy green, and benefits from a thicker dressing that can soften it into submission. Also, walnut oil. I never like to tell you you must do something, but I highly recommend experimenting with nut oils here, because it adds so much depth to the dressing. A soft mustard vinaigrette just won't do.
Also, once you get the hang of things, there are endless adaptations here. Add avocado, a squeeze of citrus, or basil leaves. This just happens to be my favorite combination of things for the moment, but if you want to add thinly sliced cucumber or sunflower seeds instead, go for it!
This salad only gets better with time. It's best to toss at least 30 minutes before eating for the flavors to blend. If you have a Whole Foods nearby, they carry an organic kale mix that already includes carrots and cabbage, to save you a step.
For the dressing
1 medium zucchini
1 garlic clove
A few walnuts
1/4 cup walnut oil, plus more as needed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1 bunch curly kale, leaves separated from the stems and roughly chopped
1 or 2 small carrots, julienned
1/4 cup cooked quinoa
2 radishes, thinly sliced with a mandolin
1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced with a mandolin
1 avocado, diced
A handful of walnuts, chopped
Basil microgreens (optional)
In a food processor, add the zucchini, roughly chopped, along with the garlic clove, walnuts, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse to break up the zucchini, then stream in the walnut oil. You want the dressing to be thick enough to stand up to the kale, but not so thin that it doesn't adhere to the lettuce. Also, it doesn't have to be perfectly smooth, either. Continue processing until the zucchini has been broken down, and if the dressing is still too thick, add a bit of extra-virgin olive oil, about another 1/4 cup. If it's still a bit thick, I like to add more walnut oil here until it's just perfect. Be sure to season well with salt. (In general, I've provided a basic measurement framework, but the size of your zucchini, or if you're doubling a batch, may require you to make some adjustments for more or less oil, so use your instincts and adjust the amount you need accordingly.)
Into a large bowl, add the kale, quinoa, walnuts and, cucumber and radishes. Pour most of the dressing over the top and use your hands (they're a best tool here!), to incorporate everything together. Add more dressing if needed. Once the salad is well dressed, add the avocado and toss it once more before serving.
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving, but the flavors only get better with time. Finish with microgreens, if using.

I went on a week long trip to Sikkim. It was undoubtedly the best trip I have taken till date. The place is quite literally out of this proverbial world. The things I am listing down are not things that Sikkim taught me, but things that 'came to me' in this trip.
- I nag. A lot. (You, yes you reading this right now, please don't give a 'finally!' smirk)
- I am bad at bargaining. (I always kinda knew this though, but well, and again, do not smirk!)
- Beauty is superficial. It should be. It can be.
- Beauty is …..
- English is an inadequate language. I wish there were words that could fill the above blank.
- Looking at something that is unarguably one of the best that Nature could dish out, gives a new meaning to the word 'awe'. (Damn you English! And I am talking of Mt. Kanchenjunga here by the way)
- Sports transcends, unites, exhilarates and is always loved.
- 'Sheela ki jawaani' is popular is quite the understatement.
- I am now unsure if I like the beaches or the mountains.
- I have been scarred for life. By Sikkim.

"Jessica Grové is a remarkable Eliza Doolittle and this is her musical top to bottom, acting, singing, and having the time of her life. You can't keep your eyes off of her and her powerhouse performance, whether that is singing her way through a lovely "Wouldn't It Be Loverly"...or tearing through the more dramatic "Show Me", leaving suitor Freddy literally floored." - Ron Baumanis, A2View.com
"But Grové is the show's anchor, and she more than delivers. With clear, gorgeously expressive vocals, she pulls the audience into Eliza's world, thus making her dreams ("Wouldn't It Be Loverly"), her breakthrough ("The Rain in Spain," "I Could Have Danced All Night') and her frustrations with the world she find herself in ("Show Me," "Without You") all the more emotionally palpable." - Jenn McKee, WeLoveDexter.com
"Jessica Grové is an enchanting Eliza, feisty, determined and yet also a bit vulnerable. Grové has a rich, commanding voice that always hits the sweet spot on the show stopping "I Could Have Danced All Night," but also finds the wistfulness of "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," the fierce determination of "Just You Wait," and the giddy joy of "The Rain In Spain." The musical's ambiguous ending has always seemed a bit forced, but the sweet, resigned look on Grové's face makes it a bit more believable." - Hugh Gallagher, Pulp - Arts Around Ann Arbor

World AIDS Day 2016: CDC Malawi Lab Infographic
File Type: PDF | File Size: 460.51 KB
With more than 1 million people living with HIV, Malawi has adopted the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets: by 2020, 90% of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status, 90% of all people diagnosed with HIV infection will be on antiretroviral therapy, and 90% of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy will have viral suppression. URC is working with the Malawi Ministry of Health to achieve these goals by strengthening the laboratory system to ensure rapid, accurate diagnostic services are available for the entire population. URC is focusing on diagnostic services, sample transportation, training lab technicians and laboratory capacity building for Malawi to achieve its UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets.
This infographic highlights recent key achievements under the CDC Malawi Lab Strengthening Project.

Here at Alura, we have multiple foster slots for what are called 'sanctuary' fosters. Sanctuary fosters are dogs who are unlikely to be rehomed because of some very serious illness, behavior problem, or age. We really do prefer to keep trying to find forever homes for all our dogs, but at some point, we believe it is kinder not to rehome a senior as its health declines due to age. These are our little Grumpies, dogs that, for health reasons, will live out their lives in our homes with us. People often dump their seniors in shelters due to climbing vet bills, inability to afford to have the dog put down, or unwillingness to deal with the problems of aging. Our sanctuary program allows us to help these dogs live out their lives in comfort and security. Sometimes they are with us only a short time; other times they surprise us and live well for a few years. But if they have quality time left, we'd like to see that they get it instead of dying, terrified, in shelter. We only have a limited number of slots, but we do what we can because we believe that dogs deserve comfort, stability, and love for their whole lives.
Your donation to sponsor a Senior Peke helps us help them.


text: I love the Baby Sophisticate pattern so much that I made a second one. What's not to love? It's a simple pattern, knit top down and is absolutely adorable. My favorite part of it is the shawl collar. I used Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in the color Woodsmoke. I added a pocket to mine and put a contrasting trim on it with some yarn leftover. The buttons are faux leather.

Gelli Plate Printing +
I recently visited Hawaii with my family. It's something we try to do once a year, so, with the aid of frequent flier miles, we headed off; my husband, my sister, my daughter and my daughter's boyfriend--and me.
I'd taken care to pack my new favorite art medium; a gelli plate; a kind of squishy gel surface that serves as a printing plate and allows people like me who treasure immediacy, to create monoprints using stencils, plant matter, and what have you, together with acrylic paint.
I'd ordered some new acrylics and as I packed, I made sure to put plenty of bubble wrap between them and my swim suit.
Each day at art time, I set up shop on the dining room table, which was spacious, overlooked the mountains and had plenty of light.
Wandering outside, I gathered a number of leaves with interesting shapes and began printing--and printing and printing.
Over the next several days, I played with the vagaries of acrylic pigment, strange flora and experimented to find the means to capture the outrageous color and patterns I saw everywhere around me.
I divided my days into warm colors, cool colors and days when I layered both together. Naturally, my guidelines only lasted a couple of hours until I threw them over and just started adding color by feel.
My intent was to enjoy my time in Hawaii and explore the island through paint, paper and leaves. I learned to tolerate the uncooperative elements and to welcome the surprise that the textures of the leaves created when they met the squishy plate.
Often there was an extra treat; the print on the cover pages I was using would transfer to the printing paper, adding yet another layer of meaning.
I honestly didn't believe that these experiments would lead anywhere. I made a bunch of prints; grist for the collage mill upon my return, I thought. However, one fine day when the rest of the family was out exploring the island, I found myself exploring the web and discovered the perfect Gelli class.
I'm so excited because starting today, for a week, I'll be exploring Gelli printing in Carla Sonheim's Gelli Print Printmaking course. I'm using some extra professional leave to get a few more hours in the studio and look forward to sharing my progress with you. Gelli ahoy! A hui ho!

A 2,600-square-foot home needs a four-ton or five-ton air conditioning unit, depending on the climate zone in which the home is located, according to AC 4 Life. Homes in the Southwest or South need five-ton air conditioners, while other zones can use four-ton units.
The size of an air conditioning unit is calculated by dividing the unit's BTU rating by its BTUs per ton. It is important not to buy an air conditioner that is too large for a given space. A unit that is too big will short cycle and cycle on and off repeatedly, resulting in reduced system life, increased operating costs and a failure to dehumidify the space.

Yahoo Earnings Impressed Investors, Hinted at Prosperous Future
Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) impressed investors when it reported third-quarter results Monday afternoon, a report that added three percent to the company's shares. Revenues came in at $1.089 billion, mirroring the consensus among analysts, which expected Yahoo to post a gain over its 3Q 2011 results.
The company reiterated new hires, which included Henrique de Castro (COO) and Ken Goldman (CFO). Yahoo also spoke about its success in closing the initial stage of its share repurchase agreement with Alibaba. The firm received pre-tax proceeds valued at $7.6 billion ($6.3 billion in cash and $800 million in preferred shares, along with a payment of $550 million related to a technology and intellectual property license agreement). Yahoo also announced its plans to return 85 percent of net cash proceeds to shareholders, amounting to $3.65 billion. Some of that money has already been returned; Yahoo has given back $646 million since the agreement was announced earlier in 2012.
While shareholder value was a big part of Yahoo's earnings release, it was not the only talking point. The company also announced that during the 2012 London Olympic Games, Yahoo's Web properties garnered more than three billion page views. That's more than the combined page views that Yahoo received during both the 2008 Summer Beijing and 2010 Winter Vancouver Games.
The Presidential Election has also had a positive effect on Yahoo's website. During the first two weeks of the political conventions, the site's "election-related experiences" received 45 percent more page views than in 2008.
In discussing the future, the company did not yet detail the plans of its planned acquisitions. Instead, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer spoke vaguely about the firm's M&A goals.
"The size and scale that is comfortable for a great integration, a great product coming out of it, is something that is much more in the size and scale of double-digit millions and low hundreds of millions," Mayer said.
Mayer also said that she is committed to taking Yahoo back to its roots as a consumer internet company that's "focused on [the] user experience."
The mobile user, that is.
"Our top priority is a focused, coherent mobile strategy," Mayer announced. "The way we all consume content has dramatically shifted."
Further, Mayer said that she is "encouraged by the stabilization in search and display revenue."

Selfie Stick Buying Guide & FAQ
Q: How Many Types Of Selfie Sticks Are There?
A: Generally, there are 3 types of selfie sticks available in the market today: the Bluetooth, manual and cabled selfie stick.
- Bluetooth Selfie Stick
This type of selfie stick may be considered as the easiest one to use as it operates via Bluetooth. This either comes with a small remote or a built-in button on the handle of the stick; which you have to pair with your device. All you have to do is to clip your phone on the holder, pair the Bluetooth devices, and just press to take the photo.
- Manual Selfie Stick
This one is the opposite of the first type as using this stick is a bit harder. The stick works manually, which means, the process of taking photos with this consists of you setting a camera timer and tapping on it every time you're capturing a shot.
So using this, you have to clamp your phone on its phone holder, making sure that camera timer is on, and tap on the button on your phone and strike a pose while you wait for the timer to go off.
- Cabled Selfie Stick
This selfie stick comes with a small cable which you plug in your smartphone after you clamp your phone to the holder. You don't have to pair your phone as once you plug the cable in, you're good to go. You just have to press the built-in button on the stick's handle to take a shot.
Q: Do All Selfie Sticks Work With All Types Of Phone?
A: Unfortunately, not all selfie sticks work with all types of phone. There are selfie sticks specifically designed to be compatible with Windows, Apple and Android phones. Some types of this unit can be used with both Android and Apple devices but not with Windows OS ones.
Q: How Do You Use A Selfie Stick?
A: Using a selfie stick is easy to figure out as it only depends on what kind of stick you have. With the Bluetooth selfie stick, you just have to pair your phone with the remote and it's all done; with the manual or standard selfie stick, you have to set a camera timer before you tap your phone to take a photo. Lastly, you just have to plug in the small cable in your phone when you clamp it on the stick's phone holder and then press the built-in button to take your picture.

"Have you bought a gun?" Kanva asked me.
"Whatever for?"
"Here in Sakleshpur, we don't talk much. We shoot if things drag beyond a point."
I have heard such a line many years ago, delivered by Eli Wallach just after he shoots down a too-talkative attacker while bathing in a small wooden tub holding a gun beneath overflowing soap bubbles*. Kanva isn't the type to watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly; besides, Kanva is very young and the movie is too old. I gazed at him and wondered: In Sakleshpur they are unlike in Bangalore: they speak softly even if they are built well; they don't glare when you come up against them on the road; they don't thrust accusing hands at you; and they take you into their homes and serve delicious food hot with pepper from their own plantations, and coffee with milk-froth on top, with powder from beans grown in their own vast backyards.
Such a plantation Kanva has sold me, and we were at dinner the night of the purchase (last week) when he spoke about guns. The day before he had taken me to a darkness in the plantation covered over by thick branches, where dark-brown and black old rocks are arranged, and the rocks are pasted over with prayer marks and flowers. Goddess Chowdi: No murthi, just a humbling, mysterious, fearsome presence suggested by the darkness and the rocks and the knowledge that for decades people from the village are sacrificing goat there before Chowdi on severely composted black and wet soil.
And yesterday while Sujaya and I inspected the plantation with our writer, some ten strange young men walked three tracks ahead of us, all within our boundary. "To shoot wild pig," the writer told us, reading the question-mark on our face. Three of them carried long rudimentary guns, and three or four dogs of poor pedigree but enough discipline went with them and the group disappeared.
I have a task ahead of me: I am vegetarian and I will not have guns and blood on my land in my brand new home. But see the picture above and you'll know I've related only one part.

4 Ways to Get What You Want for the Holidays/
I'm not talking about ponies, or iWhatevers, and I'm speaking directly to those of you in the workforce. Your Holiday Wish List for the office, for your business, for the future of your career might include new technology or a bonus from the boss, but long-lasting career fulfillment is much more economical than that. We have to change the way we view work, and the resources we use for work. We want staples and white out and a new mouse pad, but what our souls really crave are much more important. Our wish list should include items that bring about real growth and change and I believe Santa would be thrilled to deliver these:
1. Growth: You want a raise? You want your employees to be committed, loyal and productive? You want a co-worker to understand that you really are trying to be a team player? Tell them. We think we are more comfortable keeping our desires to ourselves, and sitting in the frustration that comes from that inaction, but are we really? What would your work environment look like if you brought about healthy change? In order to do that, we must step outside of our (not so comfortable) comfort zones and find effective ways to speak with grace, appreciation and conviction to those who we work with every day.
2. Purpose: "What am I doing here?" – or – "If I could only be doing….." are these things you find yourself saying? How great would you feel if you could find purpose in what you're doing, regardless of your current job status? Searching for vocational mission is on ongoing process, one that brings great contentment as you are met with self-realizations of your abilities, passions and opportunities. Once those are discovered, the job position becomes secondary and how to utilize your gifts and desires becomes your primary focus. You are able to find purpose in a variety of different roles.
3. Community: Did you know that 30-43% of managerial time is spent mediating conflict between employees? What if that time could be used for more productive purposes: encouraging employees, engaging the client base, creative planning, infrastructure development…the list is endless. That list though is being sidelined due to a lack of community. When employees do not feel they are part of a team, they create silos. Silos are breeding spaces for pride, apathy, and divisiveness. If your wish is to be a leader who has more time for business building, or you're an employee who desires a more peaceful workplace, seek out opportunities to build your work community.
4. Respect: Everyone wants to feel respected. In the different roles we hold, we want to be validated and encouraged. We want to know our work is not in vain and is appreciated. Even the most confident of people have moments of needing an extra dose of confirmation. So, how do we earn respect? Respect others and work hard. Keep those two things at the forefront of your mind, practice them and know that your efforts will not go unnoticed.

I'm looking for information on the M&W kits. I apologize in advance, I am sure this has been discussed many times, but I can't locate any prior posts.
I am looking for specific knowledge on overall quality of the base kit (frame & body). If we move forward it will probably be built with performance in mind, so want to make sure we are starting with a solid foundation.
Again, any comments or direction to prior posts would be appreciated.

- Introducing The Clock that Couldn't Tell Time -
Phil Stover's Latest Book - A Story of a Family, a Clock,
and a Christmas miracle - Now available on Amazon!
The Clock That Couldn't Tell Time is a powerful and magical story of a family in need of a miracle. It is the story of a family that might be just like yours and mine. It is a caring family, but one that is experiencing stress from the loss of work and income. The Christmas season is quickly approaching and there is barely enough money to pay bills, yet alone buy presents. Dad especially is suffering from the tension of not being able to do his part in providing for his family's needs. Benjamin, the family's resident ten year old "tweener" is caught between his own doubts and self-esteem issues and his dad's tension. He wants to help, to find a "magic cape" that would turn him into a super hero. No cape appears, but both Benjamin and dad look to an old family clock that might just solve their challenges. The clock isn't working, but along the way Benjamin meets a wonderful old clockmaker who becomes the mentor and friend that he so very much needs.
This is a book about family, love, pain, and the uncertainty of being a middle-schooler or "tweener" as they are so often called. The author draws from his experience as a school principal, district superintendent, middle-school baseball coach, counselor, pastor, and father to describe a family in need, yet one that is also in love, simply needing help to get through a troubled time. This is a book about uncertainty, self-doubt, healing, and restoration. It is also a book about faith and miracles. It is meant for people of all faiths, or those who struggle with faith itself.
Beautifully illustrated with original drawings by master artist Paul Gully, the book's vibrant colors and expressions add to the delight and struggle of the story. The illustrations will introduce you to dad in his stress, Benjamin feeling and thinking on his bed, and the wonder of the clockmaker's shop. Phil Stover is a Writer's Digest award-winning author whose narrative style engages the reader with the emotion of the story's characters. Phil is also a long-time watch and clock collector who has written many stories about the lessons that can be learned through time. See his book Reflections on Time for a collection of such stories.
A special feature of the book is the inclusion of discussion questions for a class or family dialogue or reflection. The Clock That Couldn't Tell Time can be read and enjoyed in one sitting by the whole family. It is a short story with a long impact. Who knows, maybe one day you may need to look through your old closet to find your own special miracle too! Phil and Paul hope that you will find joy and healing as you read this inspiring book; we know we did as we wrote and illustrated it.
The Clock That Couldn't Tell Time is available now from Amazon (Kindle or paperback) or your local book store via special order.

Spielmeyer-Vogt Disease
- Juvenile Batten disease
Estimated occurrence
5:1,000,000 inhabitants
A genetic mutation to chromosome 16 (16p12.1). Autosomal recessive heredity.
General symptoms
As time goes by, the disease affects vision, motor skills, speech, language and cognition. Vision is impaired before school age, and by their early teens, most sufferers can't see. Motor skills change, and movement patterns become more stiff, with poor balance and bent-knee walking. Many develop epilepsy and neuropsychiatric symptoms such as compulsiveness and concentration difficulties. Aggression, fear, nightmares, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders may also occur.
Orofacial/odontological symptoms
Reduced oral motor skills are part of the disease progression, which leads to difficulties eating and speaking. Speech is often fast, stuttering and inarticulate. Alternative communication may become appropriate.
Orofacial/odontological treatment
- It is important that individuals with Spielmeyer-Vogts disease come in early contact with the dental services for extra preventive dental care and information about oral hygiene.
- Feeding and swallowing difficulties are investigated and treated by a specialist team at the hospital or multidisciplinary treatment centre.
- Speech, language and communication training are often required.
- Training in oral motor skills and extra stimulation in cases of eating disorders, speech difficulties and impaired saliva control may be necessary.
- The rare disease database of the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare.
- The MHC database - The Mun-H-Center database on oral health and orofacial function in rare diseases.
- The Documentation from the Ågrenska national competence centre for rare diseases.

Atlanta Apartment Planning
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have heard we've gotten an apartment in Atlanta. My husband and I have always planned on moving to a warmer city and we've really enjoyed our visits to Atlanta so we are giving it a try! (I'm also quite excited about the vibrant design community in ATL). Until our boys are off to college we'll be keeping our place in Ann Arbor so I'll still be sharing updates there.
Our new apartment will be our first home that does not provide us with various design constraints, our NY studio, at 700 sq. feet, limited our functionality of the space. Here's a look back at it:
I loved it but entertaining company, having a proper place to eat a meal, etc. was tricky at best.
With our Ann Arbor home, my husband had designed it before we were together so it's been long process of working with what he had and brightening up the aesthetic. He readily admits he had no idea what he was doing and with the guidance of a friend, everything was very heavy. Here are some prime examples of a few rooms 'before' and 'afters', take the full tour of these spaces here:
So I'm so excited to design our new place, it's a bright one bedroom with an open floorplan. Here are some terrible iphone photos of it, starting with the bedroom:
Open living/dining area:
We eventually want to downsize to a smaller place in Ann Arbor so we are transitioning a few pieces to ATL. Given that, it will be fun to share with you how I fill these 'holes' with other furniture & décor. I'll very much be working with what we have so see how I master the mix!
In the coming weeks I'll be sharing my design plans for our new place starting with our entry, I hope you'll follow along in my scheming! Here's a peek at paint ideas for the entry space, stay tuned for more:

Health Central – Kids mistake apples for french fries in TV ads
Children in the U.S. have a hard time identifying healthy food in fast food commercials, according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics. In 2009, fast food companies agreed to advertise healthy foods in commercials targeted at children to combat the obesity epidemic.
For the study, researchers from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center in New Hampshire, showed children, ages 3 to 7, images from fast food TV ads that aired on the Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and other children's networks from July 2010 to June 2011.
The Washington Post Wonk Blog – Why DC's bikeshare is flourishing while New York's is financially struggling
New York City's 10-month-old bikeshare system – first heckled by skeptical New Yorkers, then embraced by tens of thousands of them; variously the subject of lawsuitsand aesthetic critiques and conspiracy theories – recently entered a new chapter in its high-drama first year: Citi Bike, media and city officials have concluded, is in a financial tailspin.
The Wall Street Journal reported last month that the system was in need of "rescue" in the form of tens of millions of dollars. New York's new transportation commissioner has conceded "financial and operational challenges." Last week the program's general manager resigned. All this amid headlines demanding "tough love" and dramatic change.
WPTV – World Autism Awareness Day April 2: 1 of 3 health issues to be recognized by the UN with its own day
You'll be seeing a lot of blue on Wednesday as communities throughout our area, across the nation and internationally participate in the Light It Up Blue campaign that's part of April's Autism Awareness Month activities.
With the urging of Autism Speaks co-founders Suzanne and Bob Wright, the United Nations declared April 2 World Autism Awareness Day in 2007. The goal of the day is to shine a bright, blue light on autism as a growing health issue.
The Washington Post – More than 7 million have enrolled under Affordable Care Act, White House says
President Obama announced Tuesday that 7.1 million Americans have signed up for health plans under the Affordable Care Act, the most ambitious federal effort in nearly half a century to widen access to coverage.
The tally, which signified a sharp turnaround from the troubled beginnings of enrollment last fall, was driven upward by a late rush of consumers seeking coverage in the days and hours before the deadline of midnight Monday to select health plans for 2014.

text: 30th May 10:01 Providing customers with plenty of information during the buying process can help convert more browsers to buyers, according to a new survey of US web users. Harris Interactive's Online Retail Report (pdf) surveyed 2,873 US adults, finding that 48% of respondents have increased their online shopping habits. One interesting stat from the survey was that 44% of consumers have abandoned their shopping cart because they couldn't find answers to questions about the purchase or the product. In addition, 56% said that the ability to find information during the checkout process would be helpful when shopping online, and 42% wanted to be able to find the answers themselves, rather than having to wait for a response to an email query, which can take a while in some cases. In the UK, companies have been criticised for failing to provide online self-service for customers. A study of 125 major UK firms found that just 17% were providing acceptable customer self-service solutions.

114 terrorists give up arms in Mizoram in 'homecoming' ceremony
Aizawl, April 13 (IANS) Two weeks after a peace accord, 114 terrorists of Hmar People's Convention-Democratic (HPC-D) on Friday surrendered to the Mizoram government and deposited huge cache of arms and ammunition.
At the surrender ceremony, Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla said that after a talks, the state government has reached a successful settlement with the HPC-D and the "surrendered extremists now can live a normal life with peaceful co-existence with their families and friends".
"The state government would ensure successful implementation of all provisions stipulated in the bipartite accord in a phase manner," he added.
"While Mizoram is enjoying peace for last 30 years, Hmar brothers have been living in fear.Now the time of fear psychosis is over, it is now time to work for development by re-unification," Home Minister R. Lalzirliana said at the "Homecoming Ceremony".
He however said that the government would show no mercy to those who take up arms to disturb peace in Mizoram.
The ceremony was held at Central Training Institute in Mizoram Home Guard headquarters at Sesawng village, 39 km northeast of Aizawl.
The weapons surrendered included 44 sophisticated firearms, including nine AK series rifles and two carbines, as well as nearly 3,000 rounds of ammunition and five radio sets.
The Mizoram government signed a peace agreement with the Manipur-based terror outfit here on April 2 to end the three-decade-old violent struggle. After eight years of parleys, the Memorandum of Settlement was signed by Chief Secretary Arvind Ray and HPC-D President H. Zosangbera.
It entails that more administrative autonomy would be given to the existing Sinlung Hills Development Council, which would be renamed the Sinlung Hills Council, said Additional Secretary, Home Lalbiakzama, who led the government team in the talks with the HC-D since 2010.
Under the peace agreement, the state government would declare amnesty for all HPC-D cadres against whom criminal cases are pending.
Top HPC-D leader Lalbieklien was released from the jail on Wednesday. He had been arrested by the Assam Rifles in Manipur for leading the group that ambushed a Mizoram assembly team on March 28, 2015, killing three policemen and injuring six.
Lalbiakzama said that under the agreement, the state government would take steps to provide ex-gratia to the around 100 HPC-D cadres after they surrender and help to rehabilitate them.
HPC-D spokesperson Lalthalien said the signing of the peace accord was a historic milestone not only for the Hmar tribe but also for the Mizos at large.
The outfit had been indulging in intermittent violent activities in Mizoram since 1989 demanding a separate autonomous district council, under the Constitution's Sixth Schedule, carved out of southern Manipur, northern Mizoram and southern Assam.
The Mizoram government had on a number of occasions rejected the demand.
Mizoram Governor Lt. Gen. Nirbhay Sharma (retd) hailed the accord as a "milestone in bringing peace in the state".
"After the historic peace accord of 1986 (when Mizo National Front's founder-leader Laldenga led his group into the mainstream), Mizoram has taken the lead yet again in displaying that peace is attainable even in politically vexed and mired situations.
"We have continued to showcase that we are one of the most peaceful states, if not the most peaceful, in India. The political will of the Government, the trust shown by the HPC-D, and the role played by the civil society all deserve applause," he added.

CNC Decimal-Point Quirk
Forum Responses
From contributor R:
I am not fluent in WINCNC, so please help me to understand. It appears you are trying to execute a single axis move (in Y axis) using an MDI (manual data input) function? Or are you trying to insert this line into an active program, pausing it for you to verify dimensions?
Have you tried the following:
Not knowing WINCNC, I am relating it to industry standard Fanuc/EIA style control. Typically manufacturers mimic Fanuc. I believe you have a modal issue here. Perhaps your BobCam post is parking your machine at Y12 either in the machine coordinate system or the work offset coordinate system? Or there could be a modal conflict, where you will have to turn off a "like" G command in order for the control to recognize subsequent commands. Or your machine just refuses to move one foot! :)
From contributor R:
Contributor M is correct! I have actually encountered that also - good catch!
From the original questioner:
I just tried several things to see what works and what doesn't. I am just doing a manual move, no program involved. If I input G01 Y12 no decimal, it doesn't move. If I input G01 Y13 with no decimal, it does move. If I input G01 Y12.0, it moves. If I input G01 Y-12 with no decimal, it moves. If I use G00, it always moves. It seems like the only thing that it balks at is G01 Y12 with no decimal. Lucky for me, there are lots of other numbers to pick from. I don't have to use 12. It just seemed odd that I picked 12 at random to move the gantry and it didn't move. I thought there was something wrong. My operator said that he had the same thing happen. Sometimes it just won't move when number 12 is used.
From the original questioner:
Just checked a few more things, which may be relevant. I do my coding in incremental, and in Wincnc there is a G90 and a G91 button which were both engaged. If that was the problem, why would it only pick 12 and not any other number?
From contributor R:
Perhaps there is a corruption within the control parameters themselves or the PLC of the control? At this point it does not seem insurmountable, just a nuisance. I would keep watch on programmed dimensions, especially if they are close to 12" in Y!
From contributor T:
I think that you will find, even though your control may want to see a specific decimal output like "12.00", it will sometimes work and sometimes not work without the proper decimal values. I don't believe that the number "12" has anything to do with it.
From contributor B:
What version of WinCNC are you using? WinCNC was brought in at the tail end of the DT machines production. Most Digital Tool routers ran on the earlier DOS version of CNC Controller. The early versions of WinCNC were pretty buggy. You could easily have one of those. You obviously shouldn't be in both G90 and G91 mode simultaneously. If you haven't done a complete reboot and retried after fixing that, you should.
I've used CNC Controller from pretty early on, and whereas I'm not on the most current version of WinCNC, mine is only a couple years old. My first CNC was a DT902. My guess is it's a bug in WinCNC. I wouldn't worry about it. By the way, you don't have to type anything but "y12" to accomplish the move. Try that.
From the original questioner:
I have version 2 of Wincnc. I think I have only been using it for a couple years. Before that it was the dreaded Indexer LPT. I tried writing a small program to have it cut exactly 12" and it worked fine. It must just be in a rapid movement I guess. I am not going to worry about it unless it blossoms into something more. Considering the number of programs we run, I think this is very minor. Life goes on, and so shall we. Thanks to you all for the input. The good news is I found out my operator knew nothing about G90 and G91, which kind of comes in handy around a CNC. We had a little school session as I blame myself, since I was the one who showed him how to run the machine.
Contributor B, I tried just Y12 and it worked - imagine that. Thanks for that, now I don't have to worry at all about the G01 Y12.
From contributor B:
A G0 command is telling the machine to travel to the destination at "transit" speed, whereas G1, G2 and G3 are directing a movement at cutting speed. You have to set your default G0 speed in the wincnc.ini file. If you are getting the G0 y12 glitch only with G0, then you could try changing the G0 feed rate in wincnc.ini. It would be interesting to see if that had an effect. That same line, for each axis in the wincnc.ini file, also has the default G1, G2 and G3 cut feed rate.
From contributor B:
Oh, I meant to add that "y12" by itself is the same as "G1 y12". That's why I thought it might work.

Expanded Edition!
Fall 2018
Finding Pax is a story of discovery and reconnection like no other. Having fallen hopelessly in love with a 1930s Danish spidsgatter, a beautifully constructed 28 ft wooden double-ender, circumnavigator Kaci Cronkhite embarked on an international search to unravel the mystery of the boat's past, and discovered the many lives Pax touched since she first hit the water in 1936.
The search took her to remote harbors of British Columbia, to a 3-generation marina in the Port of Los Angeles', and to the harbors, boatshops, archives, and homes of generations in Denmark. What she found changed some families' history. "By finding her story, you've given us ours," said the granddaughter of the boat's builder, Karl Thomsen. The writing is poetic, spare, and full of wisdom.
"The boat appeared when I didn't expect or, frankly, need her. My bucket list was empty. Life was full…But sailing towards me was a boat that would stir the waters, waking decades of loss, revealing history untold, and restoring a legacy that was lost in the wind. For her and for me, I had to wade into that water. I had to go, to search, to find."-KC
The first edition of Finding PAX was launched August 2016 at the 40th Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival and sold out in less than a year. More than 1500 people in 26 states and four countries purchased the book. Many were surprised by the ways the story touched their hearts, according to reviews.
In October 2017, Adlard Coles/Bloomsbury of London, acquired worldwide rights to Finding PAX and a prequel, WHEN A COWGIRL GOES TO SEA, by Kaci Cronkhite.

As time went by, the Château remained the property of illustrious aristocratic French families. Although most of them spent part of their year in Paris, the Château remained a place to invite, to celebrate but also to focus on oneself and one's family life.
In 1823, the baron Marie Jean-François Meynard de la Farge purchased the Château. Rear admiral for the French Navy, his letters, written while in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, show his love and longing for the Château du Feÿ. One of his descendants, François Meynard de la Farge married at the Château in 1884 Pierre Dominique, Viscount d'Indy.
The d'Indy family is especially noted for one of its members, Vincent d'Indy, a prominent classical composer. It has placed its heraldic shield on the front of the house : an armed silver lion, with a golden crown.

Dear community,
I am trying my best to put my problems into words.
Is it possible:
1) to configure an UCD server so it can be used by several customers? E.g. C1, C2, C3 are using the same server, but in separated environments/"instances"? Means, there are these three customers working on their specific builds and using UCD for the deployment process. (I am not talking about sub-teams of a project, separated user groups are meant here.)
1.1)IF NOT, is it required, to provide every customer group with an own UCD server in this case?
2) to utilize multiple agents on one server? E.g. running more than one build engine on a server and providing each with one agent?
I hope my intention is understandable, I am very thankful for hints and advises.
Answer by Tim McMackin (1697) | Oct 09, 2014 at 10:57 AM
The simplest answer to giving multiple people access to to one server is to assign C1, C2, and C3 to separate teams (Settings > Security > Teams). You can assign users to the teams and then map server items such as components, applications, and environments to those teams. C1 would not be able to see C2's components, applications, and such.
You can install multiple agents on a single server. This is usually not necessary because agents can run tasks in parallel. However, if you wish, you can install many agents on the same server. See this topic:
Thank you very much for the reply, I will just try that!
Answer by DRSY_janardhana_reddy (28) | Oct 10, 2014 at 02:33 PM
in udeploy there is best option for after agent installation in serer automatically one resource will be add to under the agent tab . one agent can support mulitple resources , Make copy of the resource and use it for different deployment process and configure them .
one Agent --> resource 1 ( jboss deployment )
--> copy the resource , change the name , resource 2 ( tomcat server deployment ) .. --> resource 3 .. copy to websphere
