Darkness has descended on the Transylvanian Alps. Four packs of the powerful Grey wolves – in a rare show of cooperation – had joined together here in an effort to help their pack members find true mates. Then they were betrayed by one of their own – an Alpha hell-bent on becoming the most powerful of the Canis lupis. And though the wolf's assassination attempt on the currently-reigning Romanian Alpha failed, his plans to get Decebel, the Romanian Beta, out of the picture were coming together even as his treachery was discovered. The wolf fled, leaving destruction, death, and a missing mate behind him.
Unbeknownst to the other packs, the wolf has employed a witch to finish the deadly job and help him gain another tool to increase his power. A curse of devastating proportions will cripple Decebel in a way that may dissolve his fragile bond with Jennifer. Meanwhile, injured and alone, Jen has been fighting for her life. She had come to terms with her fate, accepting that she would not share a life with Decebel, until help came in the most unexpected form…
Vasile will have to use all his resources – including Sally, the new gypsy healer of the Romanian pack – to discover a way in which to destroy the witch, lift the curse from Decebel and reunite him with the one woman who makes him whole, and solve a mystery that's been surrounding the Romanian pack for 300 years.
Reality is slipping away as Marissa sinks deeper into an abyss. Only truth and love can bring her back from the edge.
While she slept on a desolate beach on the wild Oregon coast, a rogue wave pulled her out to sea. Now Marissa dreams each night of a merman who rescued her. Obsessed, she risks her life once again in the frigid ocean. Will Marissa recover or remain forever lost in the eddies inside her mind?
Sometimes, the deadliest dangers lie within.
"In the first place, God created idiots. This was for practice. Then he created School Boards." -Mark Twain
After a murder at Bonaire Elementary, Richard and Anna Lee Gray seek a good school for their son Nick in a safe neighborhood. Their search leads them to Malliford, a "school of excellence." When redistricting sends scores of minority students to Malliford, iron-willed Principal Estelle Rutherford declares war on kids to raise test scores and save her reputation. Dissident parents revolt, electing Richard to head the Parent-Teacher Organization, and tensions explode. Welcome to Chain Gang Elementary, home to vast right-wing conspiracies, 3rd-grade gangsters, and bake sale embezzlers-where toxic childhood secrets boil over, reformers go stark raving mad, and culture wars escalate into armed conflict. A tale of war that is poignant, timely, and brutally funny, Chain Gang Elementary is a One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest for the K-6 world. First Sentence: In the twelfth year of his marriage, sixteen months before the shooting, twenty-one shopping days until Christmas, and eight hours before he reckoned for the tenth time that his wife didn't love him, Richard Gray met a woman who would have roughly the same effect on his life a tornado has on a trailer park.
Samuel James Toney has finally made it, despite his dysfunctional family. But this hungry southern law grad discovers that his new firm has something to hide. Sam gets too close to the truth and the firm's "troublemaker", Washington Human Rights leader, Marvin Clayton. Always the reluctant hero, Sam switches teams and goes undercover to crush his own firm and the giant sex-trafficking ring they support. During the race for justice, Sam gets the life experience no law school can offer, from the streets of Bangkok to the jungles of Burma, he fights the greatest injustice of this generation. But not without distraction, in the intriguing form of Tara Putney, a beautiful but engaged U.N. worker. When Tara is held captive, Sam and Marvin shed the suits and briefcases for a military style rescue.
Sid Rafferty is between writing jobs, a rock and a hard place, and the poles of his luck. At this point, he's willing to take on just about any writing gig. But when a return to his political spin-doctor days collides with what should be a simple promo piece about a new ski resort in British Columbia's playground, Sid finds himself out of his depth, over his head, in love and at risk of his life.

Get the Most out of Your Personal Voice Assistant
Voice assistant programs are a feature of most Smartphones, and they're getting more sophisticated and user-friendly all the time. You may not even know all the ways your voice assistant can make your life easier. You can use it for hands-free calling, dictating notes or texts, search engine queries, setting calendar events, controlling other devices in your home, and more. Here's how to get the most out of your personal voice assistant at home.
Enable Voice Assistant
Though most Smartphones come with a voice assistant, you'll need to enable it in Settings or System Preferences. Turn it on and permit it to "listen" for your command.
Once you've enabled your voice assistant, remember that most will sleep until they hear the "wake-up" word or phrase that tells them to listen to you. So don't forget to address your voice assistant correctly, whether you're talking to Samsung's Bixby, Apple's Siri or Google Assistant (a nameless entity that only responds to "OK Google").
Just Ask…
It might seem awkward at first, but you can treat your voice assistant much like an actual personal assistant. Ask it simple questions when you're in the room together – it's your own hands-free search engine. Here are some useful queries to get you started:
- What's the weather like today?
- What are the showtimes for a movie?
- Where was Prince born?
…Or Tell
You can direct your voice assistant to send a text for you, take dictation on a grocery list, or call one of your contacts. That way, you can use your phone hands-free when you're cooking, cleaning, or otherwise occupied around the house.
Of course, the most fun and intuitive way to use a voice assistant is to direct it to play music. Instruct it to look up a particular song or artist – or ask it to play a general kind of music and let your Smartphone be the DJ.
Smart Home Devices
If you're using a smart home hub like Google Home or Amazon Echo and Echo Dot, you'll need its accompanying voice assistant app to make the most of your system. First, connect your phone to your smart home hub and to any other smart devices (light bulbs, thermostats, cameras) in your home. Then, set your preferences to allow your smart home hub to "listen" to you when you speak out loud, just like you did on your Smartphone. Finally, make sure that all your devices are turned on and in range.
Once everything is set up, you can easily and intuitively control all your smart home appliances. For example, set the mood (and save some money) by programming your device to connect with your Wi-Fi light bulbs or smart thermostat. And if your device's capabilities haven't caught up to your imagination, don't worry – it receives frequent software updates that enable new functionality. The voice-activated feature of your dreams could be coming soon to your living room.

I'm extremely happy with how these turned out! The nice thing about roses is that they don't have to be absolutely perfect to look gorge! Here's the final result:
I got the inspiration from Katy Perry. I absolutely love her nails, she always has such crazy designs. See the rose mani below (top left)?
If you are curious as to how to create this look yourself, check out my photo tutorial 🙂
The polishes I used were:
- Black: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Black Out"
- White: Modi
- Red: Tip Top 958 "Corel Candy"
- Maroon: Modi 68 "Riding Hood"
- Pink: Modi 4 "Nude Shine Orange" (it's in Korean, but I think that's what it says)
- Green:Nail Cone It Girl's 1762 "Mint Cone"

by Adelbert von Chamisso (1781 - 1838), translated by Frederic Henry Hedge (1805 - 1890)
This project is now complete! All audio files can now be found on the catalog page for this project: http://librivox.org/the-wonderful-history-of-peter-schlemihl-by-adelbert-von-chamisso/
Peter Schlemihl is an ordinary man until one day he bargains with the devil: He trades his shadow for a bottomless purse. While this sounds like a good idea at first, it turns out that having no shadow is considered to be so strange by society, that even unlimited wealth cannot repair such a fault.
The story of Peter Schlemihl is exceedingly well-known even today, but the original text is not so widely-read as it once was. This very accessible translation by F.H. Hedge may be a good introduction to modern listeners. ( Carolin)

VectaStar brings carrier-grade broadband across Silicon Valley and California
- TelePacific upgrades legacy wireless network with VectaStar to quickly scale their award winning fixed wireless services
The challenge
Between 2014 and 2015, the San Francisco Bay Area made strides across all major areas of economic activity, including adding 129,223 jobs (rising to a total of 3.67 million jobs).
As a consequence, the growing business community required more ubiquitous access to faster broadband to meet its needs.
As one of the leading carriers in the region, TelePacific was quick to realise the needs of businesses, however needed to evolve its fixed wireless strategy to meet demand and maintain its strong market position.
Although TelePacific's legacy point-to-multipoint (PMP) technology was able to quickly expand its last-mile coverage, it no longer met the increased capacity and performance requirements of modern businesses.
In contrast, despite delivering the necessary performance, deploying a fiber or licensed point-to-point (PTP) link was not financially viable and too slow to deploy to offer a competitive proposition.
TelePacific needed a new last-mile solution that combined the efficiency and time to market of its legacy PMP solution, but offers faster connectivity, carrier-grade SLAs and the ability to scale to even higher capacities in the future.
The solution
After excelling in field trials, TelePacific chose to introduce CBNL's VectaStar licensed PMP platform. Not only did VectaStar maintain the time to market and cost efficiency of TelePacific's legacy PMP, but offered a significant uplift in capacity and vastly more efficient use of the 28GHz spectrum band.
Before the deployment took place, CBNL leveraged its experience in deploying over 100,000 licensed PMP links globally to provide TelePacific with expert network design and planning services.
The following deployment was focused in San Francisco and Silicon Valley where VectaStar hub sites were deployed at TelePacific's fiber points of presence.
TelePacific's VectaStar hub sites created multiple sectors of 300Mbps coverage that offered 99.99% availability for up to 2.5 miles.
Once installed, the hubs enabled TelePacific to upgrade their customers to a range of higher bandwidth packages, whilst providing access to a suite of voice, cloud and security services.
TelePacific also benefited from VectaStar's use of licensed spectrum, which enabled them to offer customers higher SLAs and avoid the congestion associated with unlicensed PMP platforms.
As the market-leading licensed PMP platform, VectaStar offered TelePacific additional benefits over similar products.
Through using VectaStar's proprietary time division multiple access (TDMA) scheduling software, TelePacific was able to drive exceptional levels of efficiency through the innovative reuse of spectrum.
The network in San Francisco and Silicon Valley was fast to grow, supported by the fact TelePacific could connect customers to sectors in a matter of days from initial order.
Following this success, TelePacific replicated their VectaStar strategy across California, including key sites in San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Los Angeles and across Orange County.
The results
In under 12 months, the business case of VectaStar enabled TelePacific to scale the capacity of its legacy wireless network at key locations of demand.
To date, over 220 California businesses have connected to the network.
In many cases this has boosted broadband provision in underserved areas and enabled customers to connect to carrier-grade services in under a week, rather than the months it can take with fiber or PTP.
Central to the success has been VectaStar's ability to be faster to deploy and up to half the cost for a high capacity licensed link compared to alternative technologies.
This enabled TelePacific to invest in wide-scale uplift in services for its customers across the state.
Harish Bachuwar, RF Engineering Manager, TelePacific, said:
"We are constantly focused on enhancing our capabilities and required a new last-mile technology to replace a legacy wireless system that could not meet the increased capacity demands.
"CBNL's licensed PMP platform is an innovation in wireless connectivity and in line with our aim to provide our customers with the most reliable carrier-grade connectivity possible.
"CBNL has been outstanding from both a technology and support perspective - we look forward to expanding our VectaStar last-mile infrastructure across the rest of California, Nevada and Texas."
VectaStar is now a key component that supports the delivery of TelePacific's 'OneAir Fixed Wireless' service, which offers a powerful solution for business continuity, for companies with remote offices or as a company's primary source of SLA-guaranteed connectivity.
OneAir Fixed Wireless won the 2015 Internet Telephony Excellence Award and the 2016 Visionary Spotlight Award, which showcases the best of the communication industry's innovation efforts, future-thinking execution and creativity.
Following the success of the network, CBNL will be supporting TelePacific's network expansion across the rest of California, Nevada and Texas.

Allison Galbraith opened her campaign for the U.S. Congress on Friday May l2th at the Sean Bolans Irish Pub in downtown Bel Air, Md.
This unique political event was covered by the near by Cecil County newspaper The Cecil Whig but was oddly ignored by Allison's home town newspaper the Republican Aegis. There was also no coverage by the Aegis's corporate owner, the Baltimore Sun.
The absence of no coverage at all in the Republican Aegis suggest an editorial decision that the political event was irrelevant.
That editorial decision is political bias and corrupt journalism. The Republican Aegis Editor Ted Hendrick and the Sun publisher Triffon Alatzas should rexamine their journalistic credentials and their professional standards.
The political event that the Republican Aegis and the Baltimore Sun does not wish you to know about was recorded by the campaign manager and is reproduced below.

It took the Fed long enough but finally even it succumbed to the reality of surging food prices when, as we reported previously, it hiked cafeteria prices at ground zero: the cafeteria of the Chicago Fed, stating that "prices continue to rise between 3% and 33%." So with input costs rising across the board not just for the Fed, but certainly for food manufacturers everywhere, it was only a matter of time before the latter also oo threw in the towel and followed in the Fed's footsteps. Which is what happened earlier today when J.M. Smucker Co. said it raised the prices on most of its coffee products by an average of 9% to reflect higher green-coffee costs.
WSJ reports that the price increases primarily impact Folgers and Dunkin' Donuts brand products and exclude products made for single-serve coffee machines. But don't blame it on monetary policy: it's all the weather's fault:
Coffee prices have been elevated amid concerns that unusually hot and dry weather in Brazil's key growing regions will dent coffee-bean output.
Smucker, whose U.S. consumer-foods business includes its namesake fruit spreads and Jif peanut butter, plans to provide more details when its releases its fiscal fourth-quarter financial report on Thursday.
Why wait so long with the price hike? "The company in February had cut its full-year sales and earnings guidance, citing a more competitive pricing environment and lower expectations for sales volume... In the fiscal third quarter, Smucker's U.S. coffee business posted a 2% volume increase, but lower prices helped weigh on sales, which were down 8% in the quarter. The segment's profit, however, grew 4% on lower coffee costs, marketing expenses and manufacturing overhead."
In other words, it could wait no longer, since volumes did not make up for the loss in sales.
And now time for the old bait and switch: boost prices by 9% and at the same time reduce package sizes by 9% in effect lowering the price! So far it has worked with fooling most of the people all of the time. Will it work this time too?


text: Rebel leader Garang (L) and First VP Taha (R) meet in Kenya One indication of the significance of this round of talks was that Friday's opening was conducted by Kenya's foreign minister Kalonzo Musyoka. Another was Musyoka's public voicing of reports that the US Secretary of State would visit Kenya in the event of a final deal being reached. "All indications are US Secretary of State Colin Powell will come to Kenya next week to encourage both parties, or to witness the signing of the agreement," said Musyoka at the opening ceremony of the talks' latest round. These discussions are meant to iron out differences on the three issues still outstanding in the drawn-out peace process: unresolved aspects of power-sharing and wealth-sharing, as well as the status of three disputed geographical areas. Progress Previous rounds have already produced agreements between the Khartoum government and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) on a six-year period of autonomy for the south ahead of a referendum on its future status as well as on security arrangements during those interim years. Colin Powell will attend the talks next weekSome issues of power - and wealth - sharing have already been dealt with. "Allow me to congratulate you for the monumental achievement that you realised during the last session," Musyoka said at the opening ceremony. "Mine is to encourage you to build on what you have already started. The whole world is watching and waiting with high expectations that you will reach an agreement this time around," Musyoka stressed. This round of talks is scheduled to end on 25 October. Desire for peace Taking the floor after Musyoka, SPLA leader Garang said: "Although the remaining issues are important and difficult, the international community is keen, but above all, the Sudanese people in all parts - north, south, east and west - want peace," Garang said. Some 1.5 million people have been killed and about four million displaced since the SPLA took up arms against Khartoum in 1983. "It is our determination that we will deliver peace to our people and the world at large," Garang stressed. "We have come, as we did last time, with the same level of openness, commitment, determination and purpose to move on with the remaining issues so that we are able to reach a peace settlement," Garang added. Optimism Taha spoke in a similarly optimistic vein. "I thank Garang for what he has delivered and I hope we on our part will do the same for the people of Sudan" Ali Osman Taha,Sudanese vice president"We are here with full dedication and determination to settle the remaining issues, and we hope that in this hall that we signed an agreement on security, we will also sign a comprehensive peace agreement," said the Sudanese vice president. "I thank Garang for what he has delivered and I hope we on our part will do the same for the people of Sudan," Taha added. Asked if a final deal was feasible during this round, Nick Haysom, an advisor to the Kenyan mediator of the peace process, told news agency AFP: "It is possible." "We hope that they will sign a comprehensive peace agreement in this round of talks. I am particularly encouraged with the positive attitude displayed by both parties," he said. SOURCE: AFP

I do not understand the human race. When I was a young girl and learned that people ate animals, I was in shock...."people eat animals? I don't get it. What?" said me, at age 12. I never grew out of that way of seeing. You not only eat them, but you use them to experiment on, to entertain you, to ride on and hurt their spines, to skin them so YOU can wear THEIR skins, to poison, to purposely breed for your profit, to sexually violate (artificial insemination), to routinely kidnap their babies at birth and then torture and kill those newborn babies, to labor for you like a slave, to oppress, to objectify them so you can commodify them, to humiliate, imprison, cage, own... - or - pay others to do this all on your behalf.
I say YOU because I opted out of supporting this behavior towards other feeling beings.
You support all this, BUT you don't have to!
And for this reason, I do not understand the human race. Does your conscience not demand of you what mine does? How can anybody think it's fine to be violent to other animals? And yet there's a whole world of YOU out there who totally accepted "the programming" and societal indoctrination, and religious holy scriptures that are outdated, because now we can live vegan. Surely any righteous God would want people to live harmoniously with other humans and other species; not violently and disrespectfully. Surely anyone; any divine almighty being or any human being would choose not to assault and harm someone when there is no necessity to do so...this seems so obvious. Going vegan is such an obvious right. So why are vegans still the minority? Long term vegans have scientifically proven we humans can live vegan. Vegan super athletes have proven we can even find superior fitness as a vegan.
Hopefully in 2017, nonvegans will stop with the unjust deragatory words and thoughts towards vegans, and instead become one themselves and be a part of the uprising, get on the right side of history-in-the-making. Join hands and hearts with other vegans worldwide as we expand and forge ahead towards that tipping point when veganism becomes the accepted norm within society. Because honestly, it is - it's just normal not to want to be violent to others; all others.
To be vegan just means you live by the belief we humans should not hurt and harm animals. Shouldn't that be everyone? Get with the times. Let go of the old and really get NEW this year; 2017. Vow to be vegan, forever.

Revenue came in at $53.8 billion. This was a 1% increase from revenue of $53.3 billion at this time last year.
"This was our biggest June quarter ever — driven by all-time record revenue from Services, accelerating growth from Wearables, strong performance from iPad and Mac and significant improvement in iPhone trends," said Apple's CEO, Tim Cook. "These results are promising across all our geographic segments, and we're confident about what's ahead."
Apple posted net income of $10.0 billion, or $2.18 per share. This was down from $11.5 billion, or $2.34 per share during the same quarter last year.
Apple's sales decline was due, in large part, to declining demand for iPhones. Quarterly iPhone sales fell to $26.0 billion, down from $29.5 billion during last year's third quarter. The company's Mac, iPad, Services and Wearables, Home and Accessories categories each posted increased year-over-year sales.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares ended the week at $204.02, down 2.1% for the week.
Amgen Reports Earnings
Amgen Inc. (AMGN) reported its second quarter earnings on Tuesday, July 30. The biotech company's revenue fell year-over-year, but stocks rose following promising test results.
The company reported revenue of $5.9 billion for the quarter. This was down from $6.1 billion in revenue during last year's second quarter.
"With our newer products generating strong volume gains globally and many first-in-class medicines advancing through our pipeline, we are well positioned to serve patients and deliver long-term growth for our shareholders," said Robert Bradway, CEO of Amgen.
Amgen posted quarterly net income of $2.2 billion, or $3.97 per share. This was down from $2.3 billion in net income, or $3.83 per share at the same time last year.
Despite a less-than-stellar earnings report, the California-based pharmaceutical manufacturer's shares rose more than 5% on Wednesday. This investor optimism was spurred by Amgen's announcement of positive results related to its latest experimental cancer treatment. Known as AMG-150, the medication has been effective against various types of cancer in a limited trial.
Amgen Inc. (AMGN) shares ended the week at $187.22, up 6.8% for the week.
Under Armour Posts Earnings
Under Armour, Inc. (UAA) released its latest earnings report on Tuesday, July 30. The athletic-wear company reported lower than expected sales.
The company reported revenue of $1.19 billion for the quarter, up 1% from $1.17 billion during the same quarter last year. This fell short of Wall Street's predicted $1.20 billion in revenue.
"Our second quarter results give us increasing conviction that our transformation continues to make solid progress across our business, unlocking efficiencies that are driving greater precision, consistency and repeatability," said Under Armour Chairman and CEO Kevin Plank. "By staying sharply focused on our long-term strategies – driving our premium athletic brand positioning through industry leading innovation, geographic expansion and creating deep connections with our consumers – we are on track to deliver against our expectations in 2019."
Under Armour posted a net loss of $17.35 million, or $0.04 per share for the quarter. This was an improvement over a $95.54 million net loss, or $0.21 per share at this time last year.
The sports apparel manufacturer has struggled in recent quarters to produce sustained growth. The company's North America segment posted a 3% decrease in revenue for the quarter, earning $816 million, while international sales grew 12% to $339 million. Looking forward, Under Armor expects 3% to 4% revenue growth overall in fiscal 2019.
Under Armour, Inc. (UAA) shares ended the week at $19.20, down 20.1% for the week.
The Dow started the week at 27,192 and closed at 26,485 on 8/2. The S&P 500 started the week at 3,024 and closed at 2,932. The NASDAQ started the week at 8,325 and closed at 8,004.
Fed Rate Cut, Jobs Report Shake Up Markets
The Federal Open Market Committee voted on Wednesday to lower the federal funds rate to a target range of 2% to 2.25%. This was the Fed's first rate cut since 2008, when rates fell to a range of 0% to 0.25%. Rates remained at that level until the Fed began incrementally increasing rates in December 2015.
"The outlook for the U.S. economy remains favorable and this action is designed to support that outlook," said Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. "It is intended to insure against downside risks from weak global growth and trade policy uncertainty, to help offset the effects these factors are currently having on the economy, and to promote a faster return of inflation to our symmetric 2% objective."
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note reached a peak of 2.073% on Wednesday after opening the week at 2.069%. The 30-year Treasury bond yield closed at 2.527% on Wednesday, down from Monday's opening reading at 2.595%.
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Labor released the July jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 164,000 for the month. Unemployment remained at 3.7% in July.
"After an acceleration in 2018, job growth in 2019 is somewhat slower but still solid," said Gus Faucher of PNC Financial Services. "A tight labor market that is making it difficult to find workers; reduced fiscal stimulus, trade tensions, slower global growth, and business uncertainty are all weighing on the labor market."
The 10-year Treasury note yield closed at 1.86% on 8/2, while the 30-year Treasury bond yield was 2.39%.
Mortgage Rates Hold Steady
This week the 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.75%, unchanged from last week's average. At this time last year, the 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 4.60%.
The 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.20% this week, up slightly from last week's average of 3.18%. Last year at this time, the 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 4.08%.
"Mortgage rates have essentially stabilized over the last two months, which reflects the recovery and improvement in the economy from the malaise earlier in the year," said Sam Khater, Chief Economist with Freddie Mac. "Going forward, the combination of low mortgage rates, tight labor market and high consumer confidence should set up the housing market for continued improvement in home sales heading into the late summer and early fall."
Based on national averages, the money market account closed at 1.29% on 8/2. The one-year CD finished at 2.39%.

"We need to embrace the technology," he said. "We can choose to work with them, which we didn't want to do with (online travel agencies) at one point.Let's learn from that lesson." Cox said there are obvious lessons that can be learned by how Airbnb does business.
These are happy days for the hotel industry, so why does it seem like the only thing anyone wants to talk about is the shadow cast by the black cloud of the sharing economy?
Airbnb represents a significant threat in the eyes of many hoteliers, including those who spoke at the "Alternate accommodations: The demand bandits" panel of the 2015 Hotel Data Conference.
"We definitely see Airbnb as a big threat," said Kurien Jacob, chief revenue officer of Highgate Hotels. "We come across that in every single meeting we have."
Jacob said the preponderance of Airbnb hosts in New York City, coupled with that market's well-publicized supply issues, has worked to drive down rates.
"Airbnb is so well known internationally, so it's not just a problem domestically," Jacob said. "So we're seeing (international travelers) coming into the city and staying with Airbnb."

Low Tech Recess
Last year I used a video of a man creating giant bubbles on the beach for a writing exercise. I had the student describe the bubbles. Today at the art family blog, the mom described how she made a similar device. I'm going to make one and try it out with my niece and nephew. If it works I think I'll try it with my students at recess. I think they would get a real kick out of it

<< Return to Bible Study Topics
Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.
If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat.
The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.
Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.
Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.
Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water, but roast it over the fire,head, legs and inner parts.
Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it.
This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover.
"On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn,both men and animals,and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
"This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD -a lasting ordinance.
For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat,that is all you may do.
"Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
In the first month you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.
For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And whoever eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel, whether he is an alien or native-born.
Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread."
Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb.
Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
"Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants.
When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony.
And when your children ask you, 'What does this ceremony mean to you?'
then tell them, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.' " Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
The Israelites did just what the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.
At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.
Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead. The Exodus
During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me."
The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. "For otherwise," they said, "we will all die!"
So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing.
The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.
The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.
The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
Many other people went up with them, as well as large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.
With the dough they had brought from Egypt, they baked cakes of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.
At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions left Egypt.
Because the LORD kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for the generations to come. Passover Restrictions
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the Passover: "No foreigner is to eat of it.
Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him,
but a temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat of it.
"It must be eaten inside one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.
The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
"An alien living among you who wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat of it.
The same law applies to the native-born and to the alien living among you."
Then Moses said to the people, "Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the LORD brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast.
For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival to the LORD.
"Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt. "No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
"Celebrate the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field. "Celebrate the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.
"Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign LORD.
"Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast. "The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning.
"Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt.
" 'These are the LORD's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times:
The LORD's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.
On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD's Feast of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast.
On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
For seven days present an offering made to the LORD by fire. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.' " Firstfruits
"Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover at the appointed time.
Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with all its rules and regulations."
So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,
and they did so in the Desert of Sinai at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD commanded Moses.
But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron that same day
and said to Moses, "We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the LORD's offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?"
Moses answered them, "Wait until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you."
Then the LORD said to Moses,
"Tell the Israelites: 'When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body or are away on a journey, they may still celebrate the LORD's Passover.
They are to celebrate it on the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
They must not leave any of it till morning or break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations.
But if a man who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people because he did not present the LORD's offering at the appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.
" 'An alien living among you who wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover must do so in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for the alien and the native-born.' " The Cloud Above the Tabernacle
" 'On the fourteenth day of the first month the LORD's Passover is to be held.
On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival; for seven days eat bread made without yeast.
On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
Present to the LORD an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect.
With each bull prepare a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths;
and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth.
Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.
Prepare these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering.
In this way prepare the food for the offering made by fire every day for seven days as an aroma pleasing to the LORD; it is to be prepared in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.
On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. Feast of Weeks
Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover of the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib he brought you out of Egypt by night.
Sacrifice as the Passover to the LORD your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for his Name.
Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste,so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.
Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until morning.
You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the LORD your God gives you
except in the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, when the sun goes down, on the anniversary of your departure from Egypt.
Roast it and eat it at the place the LORD your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents.
For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly to the LORD your God and do no work. Feast of Weeks
On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.
The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.
Not since the days of the judges who led Israel, nor throughout the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah, had any such Passover been observed.
But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was celebrated to the LORD in Jerusalem.
2 Kings
Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.
The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem decided to celebrate the Passover in the second month.
They had not been able to celebrate it at the regular time because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not assembled in Jerusalem.
The plan seemed right both to the king and to the whole assembly.
2 Chronicles
Since many in the crowd had not consecrated themselves, the Levites had to kill the Passover lambs for all those who were not ceremonially clean and could not consecrate their lambs to the LORD.
2 Chronicles
Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Chronicles
He said to the Levites, who instructed all Israel and who had been consecrated to the LORD : "Put the sacred ark in the temple that Solomon son of David king of Israel built. It is not to be carried about on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and his people Israel.
Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions, according to the directions written by David king of Israel and by his son Solomon.
"Stand in the holy place with a group of Levites for each subdivision of the families of your fellow countrymen, the lay people.
Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves and prepare the lambs for your fellow countrymen, doing what the LORD commanded through Moses."
Josiah provided for all the lay people who were there a total of thirty thousand sheep and goats for the Passover offerings, and also three thousand cattle,all from the king's own possessions.
His officials also contributed voluntarily to the people and the priests and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah and Jehiel, the administrators of God's temple, gave the priests twenty-six hundred Passover offerings and three hundred cattle.
Also Conaniah along with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad, the leaders of the Levites, provided five thousand Passover offerings and five hundred head of cattle for the Levites.
The service was arranged and the priests stood in their places with the Levites in their divisions as the king had ordered.
The Passover lambs were slaughtered, and the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them, while the Levites skinned the animals.
2 Chronicles
The Passover had not been observed like this in Israel since the days of the prophet Samuel; and none of the kings of Israel had ever celebrated such a Passover as did Josiah, with the priests, the Levites and all Judah and Israel who were there with the people of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles
On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles celebrated the Passover.
The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their brothers the priests and for themselves.
Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast;
this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
He established it as a statute for Joseph when he went out against Egypt, where we heard a language we did not understand.
" 'In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover, a feast lasting seven days, during which you shall eat bread made without yeast.
On that day the prince is to provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
Every day during the seven days of the Feast he is to provide seven bulls and seven rams without defect as a burnt offering to the LORD, and a male goat for a sin offering.
He is to provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.
"As you know, the Passover is two days away,and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.' "
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.
Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him.
"But not during the Feast," they said, "or the people may riot."
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name.
It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.
Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast,as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

Here's the Clif Notes version of the interview Justin Welby gave last night with the Anglican Journal -- which included responding to some questions on the controversy about his remarks on LBC Radio.
And -- just for the record: [a] I did listen to what he said and [b] I am still looking for some acknowledgment that the "voice that carries around the world" also carries to LGBT people in Africa, India, Russia and elsewhere looking for a word of hope the Good News we're charged to proclaim includes them and that they are something more than sacrificial lambs on the altar of global politics.
Q: Were you in fact blaming the death of Christians in parts of Africa on the acceptance of gay marriage in America?
A: I was careful not to be too specific because that would pin down where that happened and that would put the community back at risk. I wouldn't use the word "blame"— that's a misuse of words in the context. One of the things that's most depressing about the response to that interview is that almost nobody listened to what I said; they mostly imagined what they thought I said...It was not only imagination, it was a million miles away from what I said.
Q: So what exactly were you saying?
A: What I was saying is that when we take actions in one part of the church, particularly actions that are controversial, that they are heard and felt not only in that part of the church but around the world...And, this is not mere consequentialism; I'm not saying that because there will be consequences to taking action, that we shouldn't take action. What I'm saying is that love for our neighbour, love for one another, compels us to consider carefully how that love is expressed, both in our own context and globally. We never speak the essential point that, as a church, we never speak only in our local situation. Our voice carries around the world. Now that will be more true in some places than in others. It depends on your links. We need to learn to live as a global church in a local context and never to imagine that we're just a local church. There is no such thing.

Tam Bracelets - Set of 3
$85.00 was $110.00
This variant is currently sold out
This collection was inspired by the paintings of contemporary artist Etel Adnan. Her vibrant and energetic use of color shaped our design direction and informed our palette selection. This was our first big foray in playing with bold colors – an exploration in finding balance when combining multiple hues.
The Tam bracelets are a set of three individuals bracelets. Designed to be worned together or separately. Two of the three beaded bracelets are made with a clasp closure. The third bracelet with its knotted details is adjustable with sweet tassels ends.
This design is available in three color palettes- Shore, Pasture and Horizon.
Shore – a combination of muted pink, blue and grey, paired with bright yellow and a touch of black. A calming palette that is reminiscent of days spent exploring the rocky shores of the Pacific.
Pasture – composed of verdant greens and yellow, balanced with soft pink and blue hues, and accented with bright red. The most playful of our palettes inspired by the paintings of Etel Adnan.
Horizon – a warm mix of purples, balanced with terra cotta and muted pink tones, accented with a couple of primary colors. A palette made of 8 different colors blocked and paired to illustrate our favorite summer sunsets.
This bracelet is available in three lengths - 6.0", 6.5", and 7.0". On average, 6.5" tends to fit most people. The 6.0" is great for those with petite wrists or for those looking for a tighter fit; the 7.0" will work for those with larger wrists or those who are looking for a looser fit.
Length – 6.0", 6.5" & 7.0"
Materials – 14k gold-filled findings, Miyuki matte glass beads, 100% silk cord

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for October 2006.
So this morning I went to a public Toronto high school as a Tyndale representative, because they were having a university fair day. I heard "mother of God!!", "What the hell?!", and "damn", all within the first 20 minutes. And that was from the definately frazzled guidance teacher…
The guidance teacher said that no one had confirmed with her that I was coming, so she didn't offer Tyndale as a session for the students (she also said that it was quite possible that she simply forgot, because she is going on stress leave as of tomorrow). Anyway, she made an announcement over the PA, but because no one has really heard of us, no one came. So I sat talking to this woman in her office for a while. She was pretty high strung, and quite visibly stressed and flustered, due to the craziness of 14 university reps, and a very busy day. She wanted to know all about Tyndale, so that she could be informed in case any of her students were interested. As I was waiting for her to be available and finished with all the trouble-shooting, she said to me, "thank-you so much- you're really patient! It must be because you're Christian!" with a semi-sarcastic laugh. I laughed. A few minutes later, in her office, she said "I hope I didn't offend you out there, by saying that you were being patient because you're a Christian", but I assured her that it was indeed a compliment!
Thus began a 40 minute or so conversation about God, life, and churches. She was raised Catholic, but now describes herself as "searching". She asked me what I would do if I died, and found out that it was all a sham (Christianity, heaven, etc). I said that I have never considered that question, because I believe in God 100%, without any doubts. I know in my heart and soul that it is the Truth, and it would be foolish to doubt something that you are SURE of. She also mentioned the hypocrisy of come churches that she had come into contact with, and I told her that I try to not focus on religion, but on the relationship that I have with God, because that is what ultimately matters, and also that it is a good thing that God's grace is sufficient, because there sure are no perfect people, or churches. She admitted that maybe it is that relationship with God that she is searching for, but that she just doesn't know it yet. She asked if I ever get tired of talking about my faith, and I said absolutely not, I love it.
It was a VERY interesting chat in a very unexpected way, but I once again have seen how God orchestrates things according to HIS master plan, and that when things don't work out the way WE think they should (no students came to talk to me), it is certainly for a higher purpose (sharing my faith with a high school guidance counsellor).

In their continuous efforts to secure their competitiveness and to increase focus in the manufacturing process, companies become increasingly dependent on a holistic planning and management of essential plant processes. This holistic approach is now known under the term "digital factory". Its special feature is an extensive network of digital models and methods as well as the simulation of processes and their three-dimensional visualization. Based on the 3D visualization software BS Contact from Bitmanagement numerous customers and organizations have already realized various applications.
To see the use of the 3D software from Bitmanagement in various fields of application, here are some examples of our customers below.
Factory planning with "Augmented Reality"
The integration of 3D images in the videos can be particularly useful in Factory Planning and support. In connection with tracking technology (also called "markerless tracking") for example, 3D models of machine tools or product-sharing for planning purposes in the real work environment are integrated into camera video. This displays detailed plans for a factory showing the functionality of mashinery in action even before a plant is built.
"Augmented Reality" also supports production optimization
Recurring processes in manufacturing can be optimized through the blend of video and 3D graphics. With simulations one can for example test the design and operation of an assembly line until a perfect result is achieved.
Process Visualization
With 3D software animated 3D worlds can be created with model libraries in the areas of material flow and material handling. Process planning can in addition be simulated and optimized simultaneously by connecting and processing machine data.
Automation Technology
A real-time system for automation technology simulates machines, peripherals and components. The "virtual machine" not only shortens the commissioning of facilities, it also allows for training, regardless of the real machine.
Production processes can be simulated and cycle times can be optimized. Time sensors and variable batch sizes can be identified as bottlenecks with the aim of planning security and availability of system concepts. The work results can also be stereoscopically visualized in BS Contact's Cave system, where consideration and assessment can be intensified, because of the special effect of depth.

24th February 2018
By Ken
What a hectic and festive CNY 2018 Dragon Boat festival with about 60 DSA members in attendance. It started with all of us receiving photos before the crack of dawn of where were to settle for the day, thanks to our scouts for staking a place for our base of operations. A good decision to move from the afternoon outback oven to the prime luscious lawn real estate. We were the envy of many shade chasers in the afternoon. Don't know if the proximity to a bar had anything to do with the choice. Another thanks to the other dedicated members volunteering and helping put up flags around the race site before many of us arrived.

The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand, Maximo Park: one look at this year's Truck line-up and you'd be forgiven for thinking we're back in 2003. I'm a fan of the latter two bands, but add in the likes of The Wombats and The Vaccines and it's all a bit depressingly safe indie. Given the flak faced by other festivals, I wouldn't be surprised if the organisers aren't called out for largely ignoring female artists too.
Yak and Crows would be worth a peek, but in its current state the bill certainly isn't anything worth hauling myself back to Oxfordshire for.

Friends to end its E4 run on Sunday (September 4, 2011)
Story by Jack Foley
E4 will stop showing repeats of Friends this weekend to make way for new comedy on the digital channel.
The last scheduled episode of the timeless comedy – the 2004 series finale – will air at 8pm on Sunday (September 4, 2011).
Channel 4 will continue to hold the licence to broadcast the show until the end of the month, when it will pass to Comedy Central.
A parting statment issued by the broadcaster, from Gill Hay last February, said: "We are incredibly proud to have been the home of Friends for so long, but at a point when the channel is undergoing a period of creative renewal it felt like the right time to part company."
Hence, E4's autumn schedule will see a fresh batch of comedy shows coming to the channel such as Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy, which sees the The Mighty Boosh creator in a half filmed-half animated show, and Show & Tell, in which three aspiring comics each bring items to "show" and "tell" the audience and Chris Addison plays host.
There will also be a return for Comedy Labs and PhoneShop featuring more opportunity for home-grown talent, as well as new US comedy sitcoms such as New Girl, featuring 500 Days of Summer star Zooey Deschanel and Happy Endings, featuring 24's Elisha Cuthbert.
Channel 4 has broadcast Friends since 1994 and continued to repeat every episode on constant rotation since it officially came to an end in 2004.
As if to emphasise its continued popularity, re-runs have consistently attracted an average audience of almost 400,000.

Started in 2011, Rider's honeybee colonies represent a great student initiative that provides educational and environmental opportunities for our campus and beyond. Bees impact the environment in remarkable ways. By providing pollination services, bees support native plants and make our crops productive (especially at the nearby Green Acres garden plot). Honey, produced by bees using pollen and nectar, keep the hive going and can provide natural sweeteners for us. Bees' communal lifestyle and foraging behavior provide educational opportunities for biologists, sociologists, and behavioral neuroscientists and students in a variety of classes can study these bees and their behavior. Although honeybees are not native, they have come to play important roles in our food production system – did you know that almost a third of all crops require bee pollination?
A bee colony is held together by its queen, who lays eggs and controls the colony's behavior. After hatching, bees take on different jobs in a hive, feeding developing larvae, cleaning and defending the hive, and eventually foraging for pollen and nectar outside. A bee's lifespan depends on the time of year, living several months over the winter, but only surviving a few weeks in the summer as the bee population in a hive turns over rapidly.
The bee club, made up of students, faculty and staff working in collaboration, maintain the bees, keep the hives healthy, and will harvest honey once the hives get large and strong enough. Look for honey at the Thursday garden giveaways in the near future!

This past weekend I took a shopping trip to Cappy's Corner. It's about 45 minutes outside of Pittsburgh and I definitely recommend checking it out if you're ever in the area. (They're currently having a 20% off everything sale!)
I swear I didn't go there looking for just vintage barware, but when I got home I realized there was definitely a theme to my purchases:
Keep reading to find out all about my shopping trip!
I had to have this vintage glass cocktail shaker ($2). I also picked up these vintage silver polka dot glasses ($2 each). To complete the bar look, I picked up this vintage ice bucket ($2) and another aluminum shaker with a red top ($4).
I'm in love with this vintage bar cart ($40), and it's the perfect piece for holding my expanding vintage barware collection!
I also picked up this vintage trophy ($3). There's something so wonderful about it – I have to put it on my mantle. The next step is to make up a story about how I won it…
This radio ($4) is a reproduction, but I love the look of it and I can't wait to take it outside on the first nice spring day in Pittsburgh.
I couldn't leave without these vintage car prints (6 for $2). Someday I'll frame them, and at that price I couldn't leave them behind.
They have a ton of records at Cappy's Corner, and at ten cents a piece, they're definitely worth going through. My brother and I have found many a classic rock LP there, and on this trip I picked up a REO Speedwagon album.
On to what I had to leave behind:
They have quite a few vintage arcade games that I couldn't stop admiring. The one pictured ($60) doesn't work as a game, but definitely works as a piece of art. The colors and graphics are phenomenal. Keeping in the child-at-heart theme, I had to take pictures of this vintage Goofy ($6) and Hands Down game ($1).
They have a lot of great vintage furniture pieces as well. If I needed a desk, I definitely would have purchased this one from the 40's ($25). And this biege cabinet ($75) is actually a bar – genius.
There was plenty more barware at Cappy's Corner that I didn't pick up. I suppose this huge glass ($10) is meant to hold bar tips, but after seeing the Ludacris One More Drink video, I'm pretty sure it looks better with Hennessy in it.
This portrait my friend Andrea is holding was a little too creepy and mysterious to purchase – but I had to take a picture. It looks like one of those paintings from Scooby Doo with removable eyes so someone could look at you from another room! And I had a hard time leaving these brass lamps ($45) behind. They would look so great in a modern living room.
Well that concludes this shopping trip. Let me know what you think, and as always, if you have any vintage shopping tips or stories, I'd love to hear them!

According to reports from South Korea, North Korea fired a shell across the border into South Korea. This prompted the South Korean military to respond with a barrage of artillery fire. DPRK is believed to have been aiming at a loudspeaker that has been blaring anti-Pyongyang broadcasts ever since the land mine attack against Seoul.
In response to North Korea's aggression at around 4pm local time, South Korea fired tens of 155mm artillery rounds at the source of the shell. South Korean military is now on its highest state of alert.
North Korea has previously threatened military action if South Korea continues with its anti-Pyongyang broadcasts and had demanded them to stop within 48 hours.
As of press time, there were no details on any injuries sustained but towns along the South Korean border were being evacuated.
