LAFAYETTE, Tenn. — A man and a woman have been charged with animal cruelty after nearly 40 dogs were rescued from a hoarding situation in Tennessee.
It began with an unusual call to Macon County Animal Control officials on Friday afternoon, Jan. 18.
"We got a call from neighbors that eight dogs were on the loose, attacking livestock — and when I went down with the deputy, lo and behold, there were more at the barn," said Jamie Weekley with Macon County Animal Control.
Altogether there were 38 dogs, mostly Siberian huskies. Eighteen were found in the home on Sycamore Valley Road in Lafayette, Tennessee. Another 20 dogs were found in a nearby barn.
"They were not well taken care of. Conditions were very poor. Some of them are very thin and never had human contact," said Weekley.
Officers arrested 59-year-old Gary Leary and his 46-year- old wife, Jennifer. They were charged with 38 counts of animal cruelty and the killing of livestock — being held on a $20,000 bond each.
The Wilson County Disaster Animal Response Team, otherwise known as DART, was called in to assist.
"It is terribly heartbreaking but rewarding, because once they come to a setting like this, they are safe and secure — and that's what we like to see," said Julie Hutchison, coordinator of Wilson County DART.
Thirty-four of the dogs survived.
Weekley said some of the dogs belonged to other families and were taken by the Learys, including a dog that went missing for a year. That dog belonged to a family who lived right down the street.
Macon County Animal Control officials said the dogs would eventually be sent to adoption centers.
Meanwhile, they asked that anyone concerned that one of the dogs is theirs should call the Macon County Sheriff's Office, and be prepared to show paperwork.
DART officials have set up a GoFundMe.com account to help with the care of the dogs.

My love for hot sauce has been growing, and when I came across this recipe, I had to make it. Whole3O meals tend to be bland, so any recipe that calls for hot sauce or buffalo sauce is almost always a win in my book!
I followed a really easy recipe, that was basically three steps. Mix all of the ingredients together, turn them into meatballs and place them on a pan to bake! Maybe four steps if you want to drizzle more hot sauce on them once they are finished baking… which I obviously did. For this recipe, I used Franks RedHot which is one of my favorite.
After mixing all the ingredients together, you could roll the meat into balls, or use an ice cream scooper. I chose the scooper, because I personally do not like the feeling of rolling meatballs. They don't look as nice with a scooper, but that wasn't a big concern for me.
The directions also said to either put the meatballs in cast iron to bake or a parchment lined baking sheet. Since my cast iron wasn't large enough, I split the meatballs between both. I figured it would also be a great comparison to determine which method made better meatballs.
Truthfully, the meatballs turned out about the same, but the clean up was MUCH easier using parchment paper on a baking sheet. So, if I made them again, which I will, I would opt for the easier clean up… because once you are full, all you want to do is lay on the couch and not scrub a cast iron!
Once my meatballs were done, I drizzled more hot sauce on them and served them with brussel sprouts! You could even dip them in Tessemae's Creamy Ranch, which is Whole30 compliant.
They may not look exactly like meatballs, and more like meat-half-balls but they were so good, and it's all the same once its in your stomach!

The avant-garde architecture of Masjid Negara is actually based on the humble umbrella, writes Aneeta Sundararaj
A GROUP of children on a field trip to the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia gather around a glass display unit and look at a model of Masjid Negara. Their teacher asks them to identify what is special about this building. Not long after, a little boy replies that the roof is not a dome. They're all unaware that a man is quietly observing them. Dressed in dark jacket and songkok, he wears a benign smile and has an aura of humility about him. He seems reluctant to let them know that he is Datuk Dr Baharuddin Abu Kassim, the architect who was part of the team that designed and supervised the construction of this iconic mosque.
It is 50 years since Masjid Negara was officially opened on Aug 27, 1965. As part of the celebrations, there's an exhibition called National Mosque's Golden Jubilee Pictorial Exhibition at the museum. A 200-odd-page monograph (a detailed written study of a single specialised subject or an aspect of it) called 50 Years National Mosque 1965-2015 has been published to accompany this exhibition. Together, they form a priceless compilation of treasured photographs and sketches of this place of worship.
The author of the monograph, Azim A. Aziz, makes the point that many times, when we try to understand the rationale behind a particular design element of similar buildings of that era, we have to rely on conjecture and hearsay as the people involved in their construction are probably no longer alive.
"He (Baharuddin) is one of the last in that generation who can convey the story of what happened accurately," says Azim, who's the chief executive officer of Atsa Architects.
Indeed, as Baharuddin narrates his story, the true nature of the design he created begins to unfold.
"I never thought that this mosque would become a very, very important building," says this robust man with the eyes of a dreamer. In spite of being caught by surprise in 1959, he knew that since his instructions came from none other than Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, he'd have no choice but to oblige and, "pull up his socks."
From the word go, Baharuddin was certain that there was one element he'd never incorporate in his design: A dome.
"Eeee," he shudders. "I benci (hate) domes." Determined to avoid the use of onion-shaped domes and the Mughal designs made famous during the Colonial era, Baharuddin chose, instead, to be inspired by what he saw around him and his own history.
The 86-year-old architect was born in 1929 in a coastal village called Jeram, Selangor. The inhabitants of this village were mainly Malays. There were no Indians and probably only two Chinese families. As the eldest of nine children, he speaks of an idyllic childhood growing up in a kampung house. His playground was a neighbouring estate of rubber trees and a coconut plantation.
"You know, all those trees were planted in a straight line," he shares.
When he was 10, he became a boarder at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar. He was only able to complete his secondary schooling in 1951 as his education was interrupted for four years during the Second World War. Having always wanted to be a dentist or doctor, he was surprised to win a scholarship to study architecture from the University of Manchester. Upon completion of his Diploma in Town Planning in 1958, he returned to Malaya and started practice.
"I really don't like a dome," Baharuddin repeats. "It has no character. It's like you gulung (roll up) something and sit it down on the table. And it goes 'plop'. Then, on top of it, you put a spire. Then a star!"
The design he eventually emerged with was one based on something that had straight lines: An umbrella or, in particular, the payung kertas.
Granted that the umbrella is a symbol of royalty, but Baharuddin had a more practical reason for choosing to be inspired by it. A dome is utterly unsuitable for a tropical country like Malaysia. His rationale? When it rains here, the water flows fast. What is implied is that with a dome, the rainwater is likely to collect at its base where the dome curves. What happens if there's a leak in the dome? The water may just flow into the mosque proper. By using the straight lines as in an umbrella, this problem is avoided altogether as the water will flow away from the centre of the mosque.
In addition, he also looked at the traditional tudung saji (a food cover). Again, with emphasis on its straight lines, he says that this food cover protects everything underneath it. Baharuddin then alludes to the tudung saji-like headgear a paddy planter uses when out in the fields. Because of the wide brim, such a headgear completely protects the wearer from the harsh sunlight and rain. He wanted to incorporate this very practical element in his design. So, each panel of the roof of Masjid Negara is both wide and long enough to completely protect the faithful gathered inside the mosque.
There was a snag, though. When he created a model of mosque to present to Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, Baharuddin didn't anticipate the following response: "Apa ini? Masjid begini rupa? Where's the dome? Tak seronok-lah." (What's this? A mosque with this design? Where's the dome? Doesn't feel nice-lah.)
"The thing is," adds Baharuddin, "when Tunku said it, I didn't know if he was joking or serious. I knew I had to be very careful."
At this juncture, Azim reveals a side of his mentor that explains how Baharuddin was able to stand his ground and obtain the Prime Minister's approval for his design. Baharuddin is deeply respected and held out as a man of integrity. Azim is quick to add that because of the older man's influence, he's been able to achieve some of his own success. As the architect behind the design for the Cyberjaya Mosque, Azim is very proud that it's
the first mosque in Malaysia, and
possibly the world, to be accorded a Platinum rating on the Green Building Index.
"Datuk is very patient," explains Azim, "and can eloquently describe his designs. It's not easy to do this when you have various stakeholders. It takes some degree of diplomacy. At the same time, he doesn't give up on an idea. And when you finally look at it, you realise that his idea works. This is what happened with Masjid Negara."
In the final design of the mosque, the main dome resembles a semi-opened umbrella with 18 folded plates. Also, the 73m high minaret resembles a folded umbrella. To ensure maximum ventilation, the mosque has as many windows as possible. As in a kampung house where the structure is elevated, the prayer hall in Masjid Negara is located on the first floor.
Once the mosque was completed, it remained a plain structure for a quarter of a century before Baharuddin was once again asked, by another Prime Minister of the country, to spruce it up.
"Mahathir (Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad) asked me to decorate it," says Baharuddin. In this instance, the architect was inclined to use mosaic. He ventured to places as far-flung as the Alhambra in Spain and Turkey to observe the craft of creating mosaic. At the end of the contract, however, he realised that there was no one in Malaysia who'd be able to supply such mosaics for his use in Masjid Negara. So, he decided to start a factory to manufacture them. The moulds were made out of timber and, from there, thousands of little mosaics were created to fulfil his need.
Glancing at the group of innocent children who've now reached the end of their field trip, Baharuddin sighs. Smiling broadly, he says: "This task (to design Masjid Negara) was challenging. I've never been very ambitious. But, you know, I believe that Allah gave it to me and I'm very thankful."

The Legend of Zelda:Link To the Past - Super Nintendo Video Game - SNES Game
A Link to the Past remains the single greatest 16-bit action adventure Nintendo ever produced! Many gamers can still remember when they first heard the howling storm fade to the sound of muted rainfall as soon as they entered Princess Zelda's prison. No detail was overlooked, to make this the most immersive Zelda yet. A Link to the Past pushed the SNES to its limits to offer up an adventure that surpassed the original NES Classic in every way. Link's inventory of epic weapons was twice as big. With the addition of the perilous Dark World, the game map was now three times bigger. And with every fresh puzzle, trap, and enemy, it proved to be four times tougher than ever. This was the game that pushed you to explore every corner of its seemingly endless fields, dungeons, and forests to discover every last one of its secrets. With an unforgettable soundtrack that would go on to be remastered time and time again, a sweeping narrative, and advanced battling controls, A Link to the Past was the game that rightfully set the standard for all Zelda games to follow. While it may not have been the first game in the series, there is no denying that this SNES classici is where the story of Nintendo's greatest epic truly began.
Original Super Nintendo SNES game cartridge only.
All DK's classic used games are cleaned, tested, guaranteed to work and backed by a 120 day warranty.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jul 18 – The government's additional contribution of RM50 towards the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) for housewives will cover the first wife only in the event of a polygamous marriage.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said the government's contribution would not be extended to the second, third or fourth wife.
"It is the husband's duty, we will only contribute for the first wife … if they (men) marry more than one, they have to be financially able to support another wife, the responsibility cannot be handed over to the government," she said.
"The initiative is to further secure the future of housewives and this contribution is expected to be a saving in the event anything untoward happens to the family's breadwinner," she said in response to a question from Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Ghazali (PAS – Kuala Nerus) in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Dr Wan Azizah, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, said a memorandum on the scheme was ready and would be brought up in the next Cabinet meeting.
The scheme will take effect in stages within Pakatan Harapan's first 100 days in government, starting with voluntary contributions which will later be made mandatory with amendments to the EPF Act and Social Security Organisation (Socso) Act. — Bernama

'Joe, NOW, not next week!'
I better go down and face the music, he thought.
Joe grabbed some tracksuit bottoms, slipped a black t-shirt over his head and run his hands through his black hair to calm it down a bit. He breathed in deeply, exhaled slowly and prepared himself for the onslaught of Hurricane Mom. But what could he tell her about the mess? Although he was coming to the conclusion that most of what he thought was a dream, wasn't a dream, he didn't really know which bits were really real. Did he really put a dead body in someone else's grave? And, if he did, he couldn't really tell her he'd done that, could he? So, what did he say? What possible explanation could there be for making all this mess?
Let's get it over with, he thought as he opened his door.
'Lola, come on girl,' he said, turning back to make sure she followed him downstairs. But she was missing.
Shit, shit, SHIT! Had they loosed her out in retaliation for all the mess? They better not have hurt her. They better not have…
He spun on his heels, shot out of his room and down the stairs. The door to the living room was open and he could see his mom through the gap. She was bent over, her large cardigan hanging off her shoulders. He could see she was looking over at the sofa, a gormless look on her face.
He entered the room, looked at his mom then followed her gaze. He took a sharp intake of breath as he caught sight of Mrs Crow asleep on the sofa, Lola lying across her lap.
'What the..?'
His mom shrugged. Her cream cardy fell off her shoulder revealing a rough looking tattoo of a bleeding heart. Joe hadn't got anything against tattoos – having one was on his to-do list – he just had a problem with ones that looked like they'd been done by a six-year-old child.
'Okay,' he said, as his brain tried to process what was going on, 'how long she been here?'
'Never mind that. Why is a strange woman asleep on my sofa?'
'Erm…' Joe scratched his head. Why was Mrs Crow asleep on the sofa?
'You know her? Please tell me you know her?'
'Yes, I -'
'Well? Who is she?'
'Mom, this is Mrs Crow.'
'Mrs Crow?'
'Yeah, she's giving me a trial on a job -'
'What Job? How much? You know I'll be needing rent. Water, electricity, gas,' she said, counting them on her fat fingers, 'and food. And food for that rat of a dog. That does not come cheap you know. And -'
His mom jumped in the air as Mrs Crow gave a loud snort.

"To generate wealth, it as important to manage investment costs as it is for your investments to outperform inflation," says Dr Anton Hay, Marketing Director at Ecsponent Financial Services. Appearing on KykNet's Groot Ontbyt show on 11 December, Dr Hay had sage advice for investors looking to build their wealth.
Ecsponent's investment options don't only outperform inflation but are also tax-friendly and investors receive a 100% investment allocation, with no annual fees. This can contribute significantly to an investor's portfolio performance as some asset managers charge management fees of up to 3% per annum. Very often, these fees are hidden. As a consequence, investors may find their investment returns are below inflation. Which means their money is worth less than before instead of more outperforming inflation.
Ecsponent's investment options beat inflation
- Ecsponent's Class A Income Provider is ideal for investors who require a fixed monthly income. This investment pays an annual return of 10% (before tax) and the investor's capital is repaid after five years.
- Ecsponent's Class C Income Provider is ideal for investors who require a monthly income linked to the prime interest rate. This investment pays prime plus 4% per annum (before tax), and capital is repaid after five years.
- Ecsponent's Class B Capital Growth Provider is ideal for investors who require stable capital growth. This investment pays an annual return of 11.2% to investors (before tax). After five years, an investor will receive the capital invested plus 70% capital growth. E.g. R100,000 invested today, will mean the investor received R170,000 in 2022.

When I was preparing for this trip to Istanbul, I googled alot about the famous & amazing places in Turkey. I went to Istanbul 10 years ago, but this time I wanted something different & my husband never visited the country, so I thought it would be nice to discover new things with him instead of showing him the places I've already visited.
I stumbled upon alot of tourism websites, all had 1day tour to Cappadocia. I sent them all emails asking about the prices & everything. All of them gave me really high prices … My husband told me don't worry, when we reach there we'll search for tourism offices & we'll be able to deal with them. And we did 🙂
When we were walking in SultanAhmet (TramVay Street), we've found many tourism offices, most of them gave us high prices, but we found one office called Adventures Tourism, he gave us a good deal, but we managed to lower the price 😛 200 euros per person, around 75 kd, from door to door, & lunch included. We booked our trip & waited for the day to come.
It was Friday 14th of Dec. We woke up 4:00 am in the morning. Our vehicle was waiting for use, we left from the hotel around 4:30 am, reached Sabiha Airport around 5:20 am, our flight took off at 6:20 am on Pegsus Airlines.
We reached Kayseri 7:30 am. Waited for our transportation, & also waited for other people to arrive. We left the airport around 8:15 am & reached Goreme at 9:15 am. The driver dropped us to our pick up point (Hotel) & later on our tour guide Rajab arrived. He welcomed us to Cappadocia, & he explained to us where we will go & what we will see. 2 Japanese girls were also with us, they were very sweet & nice
The trip was very tiring but amazing. We saw alot of beautiful places, some I didn't want to leave, I just wanted to sit there & stare at the open space. The temperature was very low, when we reached Kayseri it was -3, then it became 0 around noon, afternoon it reached 2 & after that it started dropping & the weather became very cold. A lil bit of snow was there from the day before.
As I said the trip was really long & we saw many places, therefore posts will be divided 🙂

Microsoft today announced at its Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans about the new version of Microsoft Office 2010. In response to Google Apps, Microsoft is going to roll out web browser versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote for free.
Microsoft and free? Yes, and I am excited. Hopefully, I won't need to install the bulky Office application in my netbook anymore.
It is told that all these web-based versions of these products will be based in the cloud and will have fewer features than their desktop cousins. Only featuring some basic tools to edit and change documents these tools will surely help in some last minute modification from one's handheld devices.

17And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; 18And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 19And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 20And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. 21And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. 22And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live. 23And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air, 24The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. 25And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? 26When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. 27Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. 28And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. 29Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. 30On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. 23:1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. 3Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? 4And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? 5Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

Family nurse practitioners or FNPs account for just over half of all nurse practitioners and is one of the highest paying nursing positions available
Family nurse practitioners or FNPs are in high demand; they account for just over half of all nurse practitioners. It is one of the highest paying nursing positions available, rivaling nurse anesthetists in average pay. How much can I expect to make as a family nurse practitioner? The answer is: it depends. We'll discuss the factors that determine your pay as a family nurse practitioner.Family nurse practitioner is one of the highest paying nursing positions available.Click To Tweet
As with many jobs, your pay rate depends on experience. The average reported salary for newly minted nurse practitioners was around $80,000, with salaries for those with some experience hitting $90,000 nationwide. For someone with five to ten years of experience, it was about $100,000 a year. Salaries stayed in this range until someone had 15 to 20 years of experience; then their average pay was around $105,000 a year. For those with 20 or more years of experience, pay was just a touch higher at $107,000 a year. But this is just salary.
When you factor in bonuses and other incentive pay, nurse practitioners with zero to five years of experience earn about a hundred thousand dollars a year. Those with five to ten years of experience, when you include bonuses, hit $110,000 a year. If you had ten to 15 years of experience, the pay rate averaged out at $115,000. Those with 15 to 20 years of experience earned more at an average of $120,000 a year.
Those with more than 20 years of experience saw average pay drop down to $117,000 a year. However, this could be due to personal decisions like not working long hours or choosing lower stress positions that don't pay as much as one approaches retirement or physical health declines. For the average FNP, employers' bonuses and profit sharing averaged about 5,000 dollars a year.
One's pay can vary based on expertise. According to the self-reported salaries in 2014, of nurse practitioners on the site Payscale, general nurse practitioners earned around $86,000 a year. Family nurse practitioners earned around $85,000. This was several thousand dollars more than women's health nurse practitioners and several thousand less than if they were working in acute care.
There is significant variation in FNP salary by state. States with the highest nurse practitioner salaries include those with the highest overall cost of living: Hawaii, California, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey. Of the five most expensive areas in the United States (including DC), three also hit the list as the top paying states for Family Nurse Practitioners. The western United States had an average salary of FPNs of $105,000, skewed upward by California's high pay rates.
Not all of the highest paying localities for nurse practitioners are in the highest paying states since some areas have to pay FNPs a lot of money to attract them. This is why nurse practitioners in southern Texas near the Rio Grande earned around $136,000 in 2014 while those working in San Francisco, California earned around $127,000. Honolulu's high pay of $126,000 is due to cost of living, while Texarkana, Texas pays them more due to the shortage of doctors.
Nurse practitioners in Oklahoma, Kansas, and South Carolina earned between $82,000 and $86,000 a year due to the low cost of living in those states. (Oklahoma is one of the cheapest states to live in.) Some of the lowest paying municipalities included cities in Puerto Rico often being paid less than $50,000 a year, while nurse practitioners in Springfield, Illinois were paid around $60,000. Nurse practitioners in rural west central Pennsylvania were paid about $70,000 a year; this is about $30,000 less than the average pay for nurse practitioners in the Northeast. In the Midwestern United States, average pay for FNPs was around $96,000.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that nurse practitioners had a very wide range of salaries. Those in the bottom 10th percentile earned around $70,000 a year. Those in the 90th percentile earned around $130,000 in 2014. Hourly rates ranged from $33 an hour at the low end to $63 an hour at the high end. And one reason for the variation is demand by different employers. For example, a nurse practitioner working in personal care services earned around $118,000 a year. Those working in specialty hospitals like cardiac rehab centers earned around $114,000.
If someone did physical exams for employers or insurers, they earned around $108,000 on average. Nurse practitioners working in VA facilities earned the same rate. Retail clinics paid an average of $110,000 a year in 2015. Urgent care centers paid around $100,000 base pay per year, but overtime and holiday bonuses can significantly increase this. Conversely, a nurse practitioner in a family practice clinic earns, on average, eighty to ninety thousand dollars a year.
If you are a family nurse practitioner, pay can vary from $70,000 to $130,000 a year. Working in a retail clinic or concierge care pays more than if you're working in a doctor's office. You'll be paid a little more as you gain experience, but wage growth slows after you have a few years of experience. The locations with the highest pay for nurse practitioners include very expensive areas and places where they pay a fortune to attract FNPs because of the lack of medical services in the area.

As we plow through the hot days of August, the parish is starting to prepare for the Fall programming onslaught. It is just never dull.
After changing the filters in the church AC system last month, we discovered that the increased airflow blocked the AC vents with an accumulation of what in the HVAC world is technically referred to as "gunk." The vents have now all been cleaned. You should notice increased airflow in the church AC, and hence better ability to cool the church on these hot August weekends.Because Microsoft Corporation in its great wisdom has decided that it will no longer support security upgrades for Windows 7, the parish needs to upgrade our office computers to Windows 10. The only problem is our old computers cannot be upgraded to be able to handle Windows 10, so we find ourselves with a need to purchase a minimum of six new computers just to be able to continue doing what we have been doing for years. This represents a sock to our parish budget, but we are working to handle it. Maybe we will have to have an "IT" (information technology) second collection. We will see.
Also, in our continuing efforts to maintain safety at our parish, we are looking to purchase two AED (Defibrillator) machines; one for the church office and one for in the church. This also requires training and certification for several of our staff members, so in the event someone suffers cardiac arrest, the victim can be treated immediately, even before the paramedics arrive. The school already has one in the gym, and several faculty members have been trained in its use. These machines run about $950 each.
Ready or not, St. Austin School opens this Tues., Aug. 16, beginning slowly with just a half day. Meanwhile much progress has been made on the installation of new boys and girls bathrooms at the school, a new art room, a new resource center, and new staff bathrooms. I am very pleased with how it is turning out. Unfortunately it is impossible to complete all of this large undertaking before school resumes. I trust that the Principal, Mr. Fred Valle, and the dedicated faculty of the school, along with all the students and their parents, will recognize the need for these improvements, work around the inconveniences, and take this all in stride. We are used to improvising at St. Austin Parish and School. Watch this bulletin for an announcement of a grand opening and dedication of all this work at the school in early November.
Next weekend (Aug. 20-21) is the Parish Ministries Fair, and there is information about that in this bulletin. We need more help here, so please consider how you can use the talents you have been blessed with to help our parish community.
The following weekend (Aug. 27-28) is Parish Registration weekend, a VERY IMPORTANT event in the life of our parish. And the following day, Mon., Aug. 29, the 5:20 p.m. weekday Mass resumes on Monday through Thursday.

More than 6 percent of global oil production comes from a single oilfield: the supergiant Ghawar oilfield in eastern Saudi Arabia, which produces more than 5 million barrels of crude oil every day. In a new study in GSA Today exploring the origins of this vast oilfield, researchers have found that extensive tectonic plate movements during the Middle and Late Jurassic may have created the conditions necessary for the formation of the Ghawar and several other oilfields across the Middle East.

With more than 30 casinos, a cadre of top-notch restaurants, and countless shopping destinations, the Vegas strip is a one-stop-shop for visiting tourists. On the other hand, not everyone appreciates the neon lights, splashing fountains, and crowded streets. Thankfully, there are plenty of things to do in Las Vegas that are a little more "off the beaten path." The next time you're in Las Vegas, live like a local, and try one of these eight hidden gems. For your convenience, the list is organized from most central to most remote.
1. A Hidden Cabaret
Combine provocative humor with acrobatic feats in a cabaret-style setting, and what do you get? Absinthe. Nestled inside a tent in the back of Caesar's Palace, this self-proclaimed acro-cabaret has been called "the most inventive and daring show to open on the Strip in years!" The venue doesn't offer a lot of elbow room, but that's part of its charm. From your spot in the audience, you'll be close enough to see the sweat beading on the performer's' skin. Seating is first-come-first-served, so get there early to choose your seat. While there are no bad seats, spectators in the first few rows are often asked to participate in the show.
2. A Hidden Restaurant
You've probably eaten at a "hole in the wall" before, but never like this. Battista's Hole in the Wall is a small, family-owned restaurant located one block away from the Vegas Strip. Established in 1970, this Italian trattoria has been offering traditional dishes like sausage cacciatore and spaghetti with meatballs for almost 50 years. While the red leather boots and scattered wine barrels are a far cry from the glitz and glam of the Vegas Strip, the food here won't disappoint.
3. A Hidden Art Installation
In 2013, Louis Vuitton commissioned James Turrell to design a piece for a hidden space on the fourth floor of his City Center store. The final product is a dazzling, yet serene light display known as Akhob. This immersive experience consists of a room with two circular openings leading to chambers filled with multi-colored lights. As you explore, the shifting colors create an experience that is both immersive and contemplative. You may even have trouble finding your way out. Mandatory reservations also mean that the space is never loud or over-crowded.
4. Hidden Shopping
Downtown Container Park is a family-friendly shopping center built from more than 40 repurposed shipping containers. This local favorite is home to a number of boutiques, several watering holes, and even a sculpture of a fire-breathing praying mantis. For some semi-authentic Mexican food, head over to Pinches Tacos. For handmade items from local artists and craftspeople, visit the Art Box. For unique, handcrafted cocktails, visit the Oak & Ivy Whiskey Bar. Container Park even has a built-in play area for young children.
5. Hidden Sculptures
If you have access to a set of wheels, consider visiting the Seven Magic Mountains. Designed by Ugo Rondinone, this colorful art installation includes seven 30-foot-tall rock towers made of stacked neon boulders. They're particularly beautiful during sunrise and sunset. This hidden gem is located twenty minutes from the Vegas Strip and offers a peaceful reprieve from all of the hustle and bustle. Make sure you pack lots of water, though. The Mojave Desert is one of the hottest places in the United States.
6. Hidden Ziplines
For another Mojave Desert excursion, pay a visit to Bootleg Canyon. This natural rock formation earned its name during prohibition when it was used to hide illegal alcohol. Today, it's home to numerous hiking, biking, and running trails where you can also catch a glimpse of lizards, hawks, big-horned sheep, and other wildlife. The ziplines, however, are the crowning jewels. After some hiking, visitors take four different ziplines more than one and a half miles to Boulder City, Nevada. Participants travel at speeds of approximately sixty miles per hour, and the whole experience lasts close to three hours.
7. Hidden Canyons
This recommendation may be my personal favorite. Located 15 miles west of Las Vegas, the Red Rock National Conservation Area is home to massive sandstone rock formations, the tallest of which juts more than 8,000 feet into the air. The rocks get the reddish hue from iron oxide which has built up for hundreds of years. Once there, visitors can hike, rock climb, and take stunning pictures. However, use caution if you run into a wild burro or horse. These animals are wild, and feeding them comes with a hefty fine.
8. Hidden Snow
This recommendation may come as a surprise given my warning about the dangers of the Mojave desert. Nevertheless, powdery, white snow can be found less than an hour away. Mt. Charleston offers more than twenty different areas for hiking, picnicking, and camping. It's also home to the aptly named Mt. Charleston Lodge. This rustic hotel offers overnight accommodations and a restaurant with everything from fish to fried cheesecake. During the winter, the lodge also operates a ski lift for adventurous skiers and snowboarders.

How To Find Undervalued Stocks
It is a difficult task to find undervalued companies in stock investment strategies. Anyone will end up making money if he or she will be able to get such shares consistently. It is no secret that the most effective way of finding success in the stock market is by implementing a consistent investment strategy that looks at which markets are going to go up and down at a particular time. This is the sort of thing that groups like Focus on the User specialize in; looking at which markets create the most sensible investments.
Warren Buffett is one among that prominent exponent of value investing. He adopted a strategy where he had been seeking out and buying stocks of companies that have strong fundamentals and financial figures in order to make money in the stock market. Lower debt and higher return on equity are also good reasons to invest in shares that are out of favor in the market if their price is below their intrinsic value.
Roger Montgomery, one of Buffett's great adherents in the Australian market, bases his focus on long term investments and his process of selecting a company as his model of investment to make money on stock market. He did not favor widely-used valuation tools such as Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), beta or Equity Market Risk Premium (EMRP). He is also dismissive of PE ratio to be used to value shares.
He is of the opinion that PE ratio tells you about price and doesn't give any thing about value of the stock which is not dependant on price. The principle here is the price what you pay whereas value is what you get. Prices of assets may be higher or lower than their values. It is better to buy when price falls below a determined value. Many other inputs can be used to determine the value including return on equity, debt level and dividend payout ratio. A check on competency of management is needed along with a check to find out if any money retained is creating equal amount of value addition to the share value.
It will be good to buy if all the above factors come up trumps and the share price below the calculated value. These are pretty complex, intimidating and are required for a successful investing. For newcomers to investing in the stock market, all of this is likely still daunting. Check out this investing for beginners guide to help you on your way.
In options trading as well, the same logic can be applied to get higher returns by choosing options strategies and stock options advices from an expert.
I did extensive research and tested many options trading strategies and now I want to educate and bring what I learned in options trading business. You would understand how my trades have a minimum success rate of over 90% for the last 6 years.

Good point. The ObjectBounds filter implicitly assumes you're filtering an entity object of some kind. This filter could use a lot more definition, couldn't it? For example what exactly does "... Interaction messages outside this range..." mean, anyway?
Maybe this should be dropped from the specification, and left to be implemented as proprietary extensions?
Here's a problem I'm thinking of: suppose a WebLVC client decides to publish a new object or interaction of which the server is unaware. It would be nice to avoid having to re-write the server to understand the new object or interaction. So how do we write filter definitions which don't require implicit assumptions like the ObjectBounds filter?
We're still re-working the subscription and filtering stuff, so be warned we could be in for changes. The change between 0.4 and 0.5 was quite drastic, but we make no promises about changes until we get to a first full release.
>Given a client requesting the Configuration of CoordinateReferenceSystem to be ECEF, does that
>mean that all attributes updates and interactions will be sent by the server in
>ECEF and will therefore be subject to possible DeadReckonning.
Yes, that is the intention. It's quite a convenience for a client developer. However, this also has the implicit assumption that the object is an entity, or that the server "knows what to do" for other interactions and objects.
>With regards to StatusLogRequest messages, a client has no way of knowing
>how many StatusLog messages the server has, and
>so cannot meaningfully set an Offset and a Length values.
>Similarly, cannot ask for the last 100 StatusLog, for example.
Perhaps we should make negative offsets reference the most recent log object, such that length=10, offset=-10 would get the 10 most recent log objects.
>As part of the specifications, will there be an "official" mapping
>between DIS and the Standard WebLVC Object Model?
I'm not sure. There is definitely an implicit mapping, we're using DIS semantics but adapting to JSON format. Whenever there is a question about the nature of a data value, you should refer back to DIS standards whenever necessary.
An official mapping could be written
a) inline in the WebLVC object model
b) as an appendix or separate section in the WebLVC spec
c) as a separate companion document like the RPR GRIM
Thanks for your contribution!
And good luck, please keep us up with your progress.

text: Fused alumina production resumes in China By Yoke Wong Published: Thursday, 25 August 2016 Some white and brown fused alumina producers in Henan have received the green light to restart production but uncertainty remains on whether there would be more disruption in output in September due to renewed anti-pollution efforts. White and brown fused alumina (WFA and BFA) plants that met environmental standards in Henan, China were allowed to resume production in the past two days, following weeks of shutdown amid stricter environmental checks. Ahead of Chinese premier Li Keqiang's planned visit to the region in September, the local...

Blue Point Brewing, a Long Island craft beer brewery, decided to open their new Brew Pub in downtown Patchogue with a digital food and beer ordering concept. The goal was to update the idea of a "traditional restaurant", with a digital experience that is easy to use and seamlessly integrated in the restaurant processes.
Blue Point partnered with Toast, a restaurant point of sale and management system. For the digital ordering experience, Ballast Lane used Toast API structures but developed a customized NodeJS backend solution around it to facilitate a unique customer ordering and admin frontend. The customer-facing order solution is a responsive website built in ReactJS.
For the integration with Toast, Ballast Lane used the following APIs:
- Orders v2 Read: To get the prices for items of an order and display those on the order screen for the customer.
- Orders v2 Write: To place a customer's order in the toast system, once the customer confirms the order on their checkout page.
- Configuration v2: To get all available tables listed in toast, display those in the admin frontend and manage display on the customer order website
- Orders v2 Read: To get the menu items outside of Toasts regular daily menu exports from AWS S3
- Restaurant v1: To get the restaurant opening hours
- Credit Cards API Write: To charge customers using their credit card, without storing the credit card information on Ballast Lane servers
On top of the existing API structure, Ballast Lane built some interesting custom features for Blue Point Brewing to allow for more flexibility in the menu and process handling:
- Menu updates: Time-sensitive updates are able to be made to the menu at any time, outside of Toast's fixed daily update cycles
- Table management: The option to enable/disable tables to show in the customer order frontend depending on customer traffic in the restaurant
- Enriched menu item information: Additional information on beers can be added using the admin frontend, to add filters to the customer ordering frontend
- Loyalty program: Customized loyalty program, with the ability to update point based system on Admin frontend
In the process of developing an integrated backend with Toast, Ballast Lane gained a number of insights that are very helpful for any developer who wants to integrate with Toast APIs.
Here are the three top points from Raul Neis, lead backend developer for the project, to keep in mind:
1. You have to adapt menu structures
Every system has its own data structures to meet the specific goals and needs. This is true even for systems within the same domain.
For instance, Toast API has a multilevel menu structure, which is good for their goals, but we actually wanted to keep it simple, so we didn't need that. For that reason, it was better for our frontend to receive the whole menu all at once. We had to adapt the data structure Toast provided us to fit our needs. In addition, we also required additional information about beers, therefore we added those structures on our side.
Another requirement we had was to offer different menu items depending on the time of the day. Toast offers an API for attention hours, but we had to figure out a way to adapt that functionality to support this custom requirement.
2. Caching is important
Querying an external API is time-consuming, so it's better to cache data as much as possible. Sometimes it is even mandatory to do so in order to deliver a good user experience.
It's not that the Toast API is slow, but every external request can take from tens to hundred of milliseconds. If we need to perform one or more request for every interaction with the customer, it will take more time than what's acceptable for a great user experience. So we used cache every time it was suitable.
For things that need to be kept synchronized, it was not suitable. For other things we used short periods of time to improve perceived performance e.g., list of tables. And for other things that usually don't change, we used long term caches e.g., opening hours.
3. Develop with APIs rate limits in mind
An example of this is the Toast API access token. They can be requested no more than twice an hour, and they usually last for about an hour. So we had to store those tokens, and only require new ones if necessary. For Toast, this is a soft limit (they don't enforce it) but it is always good to be a good API consumer.
We also developed some processes for the application that perform a lot of requests in short periods of time. To account for Toast API limits, we designed our processes to cache everything possible, as mentioned above (this way we avoided sending some requests) but also we developed our system to properly handle rate limit situations, and reschedule requests to Toast in those cases.

Having lived in the Western United States my entire life, I've found the instance of the European traveler to be fairly informative. I dwell in Portugal and doing one or more highway journeys throughout the USA is my dream tour! I am proud to be an East Texan, and hope you go to this stunning a part of Texas someday! I feel I instructed you earlier than that Costa Rica comes out forward of Puerto Rico for me, but they're both fantastic places to go to. I like to hop within the car and go. I stay in South Carolina but my household is in Minnesota. The Virgin River has been the water source that has created the majestic surroundings found in Zion Canyon.
We returned from a late July journey to Costa Rica (2015) and I ought to point out that they've a mini dry season in late july/early August which is a terrific time to journey. Sprinkled with dust from the Angel of the farmyard on a Back to Faculty Field Trip. I didn't intend for every city to be a major focus, but to attract consideration to what several towns in East Texas have to offer. In case you've never been to Washington DC while the cherry timber are blooming, it's a actual treat.
We did not plan this cease very effectively as we arrived in Gettysburg about 5pm on our method from Hershey, PA and our stop in Maryland just outside of Washington DC. We stopped by a local visitor heart they usually gave us a map of the world. The South Rim of the canyon is much more developed than the North Rim, and so accommodations should be booked effectively prematurely. Havasupai is just not as nicely-often known as the Grand Canyon, and far harder to get to, but wow, what amazing mountain climbing and scenery.
One other smart way is to board one of the many tour groups that go around Washington DC. There are a few tour teams that have a rotation and take you round to the assorted memorials, museums, and monuments. Just a phrase of warning when you get to the Washington DC section, you can not go to all the pieces on this list in every week or most likely two weeks, so don't even strive.
I have been reading concerning the wonders of visiting Costa Rica for years but I believe your article with photographs is the best I've ever learn. Army enthusiasts will need to go to the Pentagon in Washington DC. This superb structure homes over 23,000 workers of the Department of Protection. I've never taken that trip since I reside in Illinois but I intend to take a route 66 trip one of lately, so this is likely to be a pleasant detour. Thanks on your lovely photos and great information on touring in Costa Rica. To be able to maximize your Costa Rica experience, plan an prolonged stay of a minimum of 10 to 14 days so you may go to two or three totally different places. Make a journey to New Mexico's superb, partially underground, national park, Carlsbad Caverns.

Top Asian Themed Slots with Free Spins
It's no secret that many Asian people love to gamble. Go in a bookmakers, casino, or card room across the globe and you're practically guaranteed to run into a player from the far-East. On that thought, I remember playing poker against another regular down at the local casino a couple of years ago. Originally from China, the guy had a real jet set lifestyle that took him to the far corners of the globe. On this occasion, he had just returned from a trip to Kenya. Of course, we quickly got talking about casinos in Africa. This prompted another frequent player at the table, a friend of mine to ask:
"So, we're there any other Asian's in the casino?"
"Of course, there were f**king Asian's in the casino!" was his reply.
The whole table got a good laugh, and he continued his story about the experience of being an Asian shark dining on African fish. An amusing anecdote that really rings true that when you frequent a great number of gambling establishments on a regular basis.
It should come as no surprise that many slot manufacturers make considerable efforts to appeal to the huge market of Asian players out there. There are a staggering number of titles with far-Eastern themes to choose from too. The concept of luck is one which many cultures in that part hold dear, and this is one explanation behind gambling's popularity out there. Luck is also a theme that often runs strong in the various game designs.
If you're new to the world of Asian themed slots, fear not. We've done the hard work for you. We've trawled the web to single out the best around. So, without further ado, these are our top eight machines from the East.
Si Xiang
Playtech really went to town on the artwork for Si Xiang. It's a visual masterpiece, complete with mythical creatures from ancient China - all of which have been expertly illustrated. Even better, each of the ferocious monster symbols comes alive when it forms part of a winning combination, and the animations are skillfully executed. The game isn't feature-rich but does offer some huge prizes. That said, there is the neat addition of multidirectional win lines, doubling your chances of winning.
Si Xiang's strongest features include:
- Five reels, and nine pairs of multidirectional win lines.
- Up to 10,000x the line bet jackpot.
- Stunning visual presentation.
- Top heavy prize structure.
Play Si Xiang at Casino.com
Offers players some huge prizes with multidirectional win lines.
Fei Long Zai Tain
Another from Playtech here, and like Si Xiang we're also dealing with mythical beasts. Unlike our previous Asian themed slot however, this one's got a fantastic bonus round. How does 25 free spins, with a 15x multiplier sound?
Visually and aurally, the title is a relaxing journey back to ancient China.
The best features of the Fei Long Zai Tain machine are:
- Maximum free spin round of 25 with a 15x multiplier.
- Up to 25 pay lines and five reels.
- Stunning design both graphically and thematically.

Nian Nian You Yu
Like to party Chinese style? Nian Nian You Yu is all about celebration. The action takes place under a brightly coloured Pagoda, and the symbols are all things associated with festivals and merrymaking. Playtech have worked hard to create a machine that looks fantastic, and as you'd expect from them, they achieve their goal and more.
Along with win lines that run in either direction, Nian Nian You Yu features a huge main game jackpot, as well as ever-accumulating progressive jackpots. Drop one of these, and you could be partying in Beijing for real.
Nian Nian You Yu has made our list because of:

Geisha Wonders
If you like games with lots of free spins (and let's face it, who doesn't?), you'll likely enjoy the Geisha Wonders slot machine from NetEnt. The maximum number of free games players can take down is a sizeable 50. Of course, dealing with Geishas, we're in Japan this time, and the game's imagery comprises of carp, ornate fans, and bonsai trees. In addition to the highly generous free spin rounds, there are two potentially life changing progressive jackpots to boot.
Geisha Wonders takes a place on our top eight because of the following features:

Play Geisha Wonders at Hello Casino

Wins of Fortune
Our next title is from Quick Spin. Players are taken on a trip out East for a slot experience like no other. Wins of Fortune uses a rather unique approach to win lines, and operates a "re-spin" on any win feature in which winning symbols shift one position to the left, and those that remain freeze over for the next spin. That's not all though, the size of the grid itself increases to a maximum of five rows, five reels. If players are fortunate enough to reach the fourth re-spin, a "Super Respin" is triggered. During this extra feature, all the symbols are frozen in position, and the game re-spins until no additional winning symbols appear on the reels.
- Innovative design and gameplay features.
- Five reels, and 76 to 259 ways to win.
- Great graphics, and superb artwork.
- Varying row size.

Sakura Fortune
Back to Japan now for Sakura Fortune from QuickSpin. Visually, it's a masterpiece, drawing heavy influence from classic martial arts titles like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. The game uses traditional music, and fantastic artwork for a slot machine that has a real special quality to it. The striding heroine through the cascading cherry blossom of the opening sequence is a powerful image, and sets the feel for the action to follow early on.
With stacked wilds, bonus re-spins, and a free spin round, the game isn't just a looker though. These special features along with the game's winning art style make Sakura Fortune a firm favourite amongst the wide selection of Asian themed slot machine around today.
Sakura Fortune's best features include:
- Stacked wilds.
- Brilliant visual presentation.
- Free spin mode.
- Four rows across five reels, and forty ways to win.
Play Sakura Fortune at Hello Casino
Sakura Fortune a firm favourite amongst the wide selection of Asian themed slot machine around today.
Golden Lotus
Golden Lotus is an Asian themed slot designed by Real Time Gaming. It comprises of five reels, and 25 pay lines and offers players the opportunity to win a huge progressive jackpot. It's not all about the additional mega prize, however. The main game top pay-out is an impressive 8,888 coins for hitting five-of-a-kind golden lotus symbols.
Soothing traditional, Eastern music plays whilst players attempt to activate one of the two fantastic bonus rounds. The Chinese Garden Feature gifts either 100x the total bet or up to 20 free spins. Meanwhile, the White Lotus Feature is eight free spins accompanied by either a three, four, or five times multiplier.
The highlights of Golden Lotus for us were:
- Progressive jackpots.

Play Golden Lotus at Sloto Cash Casino

Dragon Shrine
Something else here from QuickSpin, and another title with a quirky take on win lines and game boards. It seems that unconventional game layouts are one the company's hallmarks, and they're fast making a name for themselves with games like Dragon Shrine.
There are some great bonus features on offer to players of the machine. These include the stacked "wild" re-spins. Here, after landing a stack of dragons on the first reel, any dragon or wild symbols lock down, and the remaining reels spin an additional three times. This can cause the prizes to mount rapidly.
We love Dragon Shrine for the following reasons:
- Innovative gameboard - as we've come to expect from QuickSpin.
- Stacked wilds.
- Multiple re-spin feature.
- Free spin mode.
- Multidirectional win lines during free spins only.
Play Dragon Shrine at Hello Casino

Lucky Panda
We'll round off our round up with another from esteemed designers, Playtech. For this machine, we're out in rural China in some idyllic rolling hills and amongst a few of the planet's most exotic animals. This one's for nature lovers, and all the creatures comprising the symbols have been stylistically illustrated to create a title with real charm. What's more, there are some decent sized jackpots and a couple of lucrative bonus features too. The title also uses AllWays unique 1,024 ways to win approach to prize distribution.
On Lucky Panda expect to see the following:
- 4,000x the coin value jackpot.

Sensory Bin Ideas – All From The Dollar Store
Sensory bins are our go-to in our house. They're so easy and they keep your kids so busy! Bonus – they can also be very inexpensive.
Sensory bins are life.
The Dollar Tree is also life. That is always my go-to when I need stuff (that they sell). My friends usually come to me first when they wonder if The Dollar Tree sells something in particular. What can I say? I'm cheap and everyone knows it.
I did a post a while back with sensory bins. I went through the aisles of The Dollar Tree and grabbed anything I could find that I thought would be good in a sensory bin. Thus, my first sensory bin post was born. And I can't look back on it anymore because it makes me so sad to see D's chubby little toddler hands! WAHHHH!
I also did some sensory bottles for the babe when she was tiny. We actually still use them!
You can also find the bins from The Dollar Tree – this is what I use

6+ Sensory Bins for under $30 – with tons of other ideas!
Check out all of my sensory and activity posts here.
D needs sensory stuff and sensory bins. And since we are inside, waiting for baby to arrive, I knew he needed a sensory bin day.
I could not WAIT to get to Dollar Tree and try all of these sensory bins. I went armed with a list – HA! That was funny that I actually thought I would follow a list. The list also was for under $20. Again – HA! Mine was $40, BUT I bought some stuff that wasn't for my sensory bins and since everything was $1, it was easy for me to take it out of my total and get a new total. Here is how I started:
Sensory Bins Shopping List
- 6 bins (I know I said that this would make 6+ – sit tight, we'll get to that)
- 2 bags of cotton balls (I ended up using only 1)
- 2 bags of dry beans (again, I ended up using only 1)
- 1 bag of pasta (I bought Ziti)
- 1 bag of creepy crawlies
- 1 bag of lizards / frogs (obviously these and the previous ones can be switched out with anything – this is just what D likes)
- 2 sets of 3 rubber ducks
- 1 set of play kitchen tools
- 1 set of tongs (D calls these "pinchers"…he loves to play with ours at home)
- 1 box of baking soda
- 1 bag of decorative rocks
- 1 bag of decorative sand
- 1 bag of decorative pebbles
- 1 set of coffee scoops
- 1 set of 3 toothbrushes
- 1 container of oatmeal
- 1 bottle of vinegar
- 1 set of funnels
- 2 cans of shaving cream
- 1 foam alphabet set
Again, you can pick other stuff. If you have a girl and want fake jewelry, whatever. Use your imagination! 🙂
Here is a breakdown of my sensory bin items:
The shaving cream is part of the "+" of my bins. I will get into that also 🙂
Here are the items that will be in the bins:
And then here are the tools that he'll use (he LOVES tools):
So first I am going to show you the 6 bins that I made, then I will give you ideas for the "+" bins. I will have to run to the Dollar Tree again and pick up 1 or 2 more bins that will act as "messy bins." The bins that need to be switched out and can't hold certain stuff (ie, clean mud, shaving cream, water, etc).
The first one I tackled was rocks and sand. I was super excited about this one because of the pretty colors I picked out. 🙂
I let D pick out which toy he wanted to put in this one and he chose the creepy crawlies.
In true boy, sensory seeking fashion, he could not WAIT to get his hands in there. His imagination went wild with this one. They were all on a mission together to save the good guys and fight the bad guys! Kids can learn colors, numbers, get their sensory output fix for the day, whatever.
Next one was the rocks and D actually had the idea of what to add to the rocks. I have to admit, those construction vehicles were not purchased at the Dollar Tree. But how could I say no, when it was his idea to toss them in after seeing the rocks? I just couldn't.
Next, we loaded up the bin with dry oatmeal. You could very well use wet oatmeal, but don't reuse it. You would have to toss it out after you played with it but I bet it would be very fun.
I was going to write numbers under the creatures bellies but there just wasn't enough time with this guy digging in.
Next up was beans! I don't know why, but beans are my favorite sensory item. Maybe it's because it was one of the first that I used when I was a developmental therapist? They are heavy but not too heavy and they're cold. I even like playing in the bean bin! We added the toy kitchen utensils and a scoop in this one. D loves the kitchen utensils so he enjoyed this bucket.
Next was cotton balls and rubber duckies. I wrote numbers on the bottom of the rubber ducks because we've been having some problems with a few numbers. He wasn't too thrilled with this one, (probably because it makes the least amount of mess) but he'll come around 🙂
Finally, we did dry pasta and a mini foam board I found that he could put the letters into. I love this one! We are trying to learn the difference between numbers and letters and this one is awesome because it has letters and numbers.
As for my "extras…."
*Baking soda and vinegar is just awesome together. I've never shown D before but I will. It's a really cool reaction, so this will be in my "messy bin" (the bin that needs to be cleaned out after every use!)
*Shaving cream is also awesome and will be a part of the messy bin.
*The toothbrushes will be in a soapy water messy bin with his cars so he can wash them.
*The funnels can really go into any bin. D found a home for them in the oatmeal bin!
Other things we will do in the messy bin:
*Clean mud (shaved bar soap and torn up toilet paper mixed with water)
*Baking soda and water (3:1)
*Play dough (homemade or otherwise)
*Water beads (these are found at most craft stores and some dollar stores)
*Pumpkin guts
*Hair gel
*Cooked spaghetti noodles

I also share lots of easy, educational activities in live videos on my Facebook page, so head over and give it a "like" and make sure you turn notifications on!
The opportunities for sensory play are ENDLESS! You can also add any small plastic toys really to these sensory bins. I could go on for hours on sensory activities.
