Its blue! Its skinny! Its the Arduino Pro! Campus component minimal design approach to Arduino. This is a 5V Arduino running the 16MHz bootloader (select Arduino Duemilanove w/ 328 within the Arduino software). The power switch was moved to the side of the board (good idea Limor!) to allow control when a shield is attached.
Arduino Pro Mini Compatible does not come with connectors populated so that you can solder in any connector or wire with any orientation you need. We recommend first time Arduino users start with the Duemilanove. Its a great board that will get you up and running quickly. The Arduino Pro series is meant for advanced users that understand the limitations of system voltage (5V), lack of connectors, and USB off board.
Campus Component really wanted to minimize the cost of an Arduino. The Arduino Pro is like the Arduino Duemilanove (same pin out) but to keep the cost low, they used all SMD components, made it two layer, etc. This board connects directly to the FTDI Basic Breakout board and supports auto-reset. The Arduino Pro also works with the FTDI cable but the FTDI cable does not bring out the DTR pin so the auto-reset feature will not work.
Note: It is Arduino Pro Mini Compatible Board

Just My Type stamp set, and it was perfect for the chalkboard technique that I've been seeing on different blogs. The technique is just as easy as it looks, but the white ink I used over the embossing took forever to dry!
I backed the "chalkboard" with a piece of silver paper to emphasize the edges, then popped it up with layers of crimped cs. The red hearts were cut from solid red cs. I added glitter to the two larger ones, glued the smaller ones on top of that, then covered the smaller hearts with Glossy Accents. The swirl in the lower right corner was stamped with red acrylic paint. I used waxed linen thread to attach the heart charm. The edges of the layers were sponged with Distress Ink, then I finished with some sewing.
On the inside, I die cut white cs, then stamped a script text on it and sponged the inside edges while the cs was still in the die. The script turned out a little darker than I wanted, so I sponged a light layer of white ink in the center. The red hearts were stamped in red paint. I also stamped the sentiment in red paint, but it was difficult to read, so after it dried, I stamped over it with black Staz-On ink. I really like the effect. To continue the chalkboard theme, I matted the die cut layer on a piece of black cs and drew on it with colored pencils. The white pearls are a Pearl Pen.

The Story of the Last Supper
Leonardo Da Vinci
The Story of the Last Supper
Leonardo da Vinci
The painting of The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most iconic paintings in Western art history. The mural painting can be found in Milan, Italy. The Duke of Milan asked Leonardo to create the painting for the renovated church, Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie which was painted around 1495-1498. Leonardo has depicted the consternation that occurred among the Twelve Apostles when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him.
Failed experiment
Even though this is one of the most well-known paintings ever, the project was, in fact, a failed experiment. Da Vinci tried a new painting technique on wet plaster. It was super impressive at first but the technique caused the colors to slowly fade away. The painting is restored many times during the centuries.
Study of the characters
Leonardo Da Vinci has done many years of study for all the characters of the apostles, sitting with Jesus at the table on the night Jesus was betrayed. Many try-out sketches are known.
Background story
Leonardo Da Vinci is painting the situation of the Last Supper of Christ with his friends. It's on the night he will be betrayed by one of the men in the group. The painting is showing the rumor directly after the moment Jesus announced this. Everyone is wondering who will be the betrayer.
Jesus washes the disciples' feet
The Bible story says that Jesus knew already what was going to happen. Two of the disciples had to prepare a room for the special meal for the Passover night, or Pesach. It's an important Jewish celebration where commemorate their liberation by God from slavery.
On the night that Jesus was betrayed, He celebrated the special night with his friends. At the beginning of the evening, He washed the feet of all his disciples. It's very symbolic because He was the leader of the gang, He was the teacher, He was the rabbi.
The ritual of the washing of the feet
Every year there's a special event in many churches for washing of the feet in the days before Good Friday. It represents the humility of Jesus Christ, who bowed down before his own disciples, washing their dirty feet.
Pope Francis kisses the foot of an inmate during Holy Thursday Mass on March 29, 2018 at Regina Coeli prison in Rome
The Bible has a phrase for it: 'He emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.' (Philippians 2:7). Every human being is called to do the same as Jesus did. To humble yourself and to honor the other.
Kings and emperors in Jesus' time were often very cruel, they insisted on being served by slaves. But Jesus told his followers: 'Among you, it must not be like this. The one who rules must serve.' (read it in the Bible). Can you imagine the world being very different when leaders will start following the teaching and example of Jesus?!
The last supper of Jesus
Why is the story of the last supper that significant? Well, a lot of things happened the night of Jesus betrayal. Many chapters of the Gospel of John contain important teachings of Jesus Christ. It's like the last things someone is sharing with his loved ones when someone knows his death is imminent.
The last message of Jesus
So, what would it be, what you're going to share with your friends when you know this will be the end? Jesus is going to tell his disciples so much, it will take a long time to grasp the depth of all things He is sharing.
Jesus' last commandment
So... what is the famous last thing Jesus said? Well, to be honest, it's not rocket science. 'A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.' (John 13:34-35) Oké, it's not rocket science, it's quite easy to understand what he meant, but it's in practice super hard to follow this simple wish of Jesus. Because love can cost you everything. Like it did cost Jesus everything!
Believe also in Jesus
Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? (John 14:1-2)
It's very comforting to hear Jesus talk to his close friends. He's saying things He never said to big crowds. It's like He's able to say things personally when He's close to his friends. His friends are starting to understand a little bit, but when Philip, one of the twelve, is asking 'Show us the Father', a careful description for God, Jesus replied: 'Whoever has seen me has seen the Father' (John 14:9). That is super significant, also for today: you can long for a touch of heaven and longing to see God, but the only thing you need is to see Jesus.
How can you see Jesus?
Well, to be honest, that is a mystery you only will grasp by starting to follow, to trust, to believe. It's just not science. It's not the way of logic. It's faith. And faith functions in the deep realm of our soul, of our spirit. On the other hand, it's also just everyday life. Give me a second, so I can explain that to you...
Where is Jesus?
In the gospel of Matthew, there's a long speech of Jesus written down. In a part of the speech, Jesus is telling that there will be a judgment day. Sounds tough, right? But take a little time grasping what it's all about.
To summarize the speech of Jesus, there will be a final judgment day. Two groups will appear before the King (or the Son of Man). One group has done it right. One group has neglected something. So, what is it? Did the one group believe right? Or did they worship God in the right way? Or did they do something special?
Basically, it's something quite ordinary they did. They gave food to the hungry. They gave drink to the thirsty. They welcomed the stranger. They clothed the naked. They visited the sick. They came to the prisoner. The King said: 'you did that to me' which was a surprise for that group because they didn't see him. They only saw the needy. The King said this: 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
The other group didn't pay attention to the needy and they will not be part of the new kingdom!
Did you see it?
In this speech, Jesus is telling something about a new king. And in the end, it doesn't matter if you saw the king himself... Both groups didn't recognize him. The king is identifying with the needy, the weak, the suffering. If you saw them and cared for them, you saw the King and cared for him. I can say, if you grasp this revolution, you are touching the new reality Jesus started!
Already from his birth, you were not able to find Jesus in high places, but in a humble family. He was suffering and would die an unjust death.
Also today
Nothing has changed. Also today you will not find Jesus in high places, in extraordinary experiences. Probably you will see him in broken circumstances, in the small rays of light in dark places... When you're going to search for Him, you will find him.
Death of Jesus
After the Last Supper, Jesus and his group of friends left the building. A lot more happened the last night of Jesus. He was betrayed by Judas, one of the friends. And all the others fled into the dark night, leaving this man alone who was facing a certain and brutal death.
How was it possible people hated a man so much they longed for his death even though his message was peace, even though he was showing forgiveness.
More of Jesus
There's so much to say about this Jesus. You even don't have to be a Christian to be inspired by this Jew who started our era. This world will be a much more hopeful place, there will be so much more love, so much more graceful, if people start following his life, his teaching and start trusting him.

Lunch atop a Skyscraper
OK, just one more, even though there are dozens of variants of The Last Supper of Da Vinci in pieces of art. This is a combination of the famous photo 'Lunch atop a Skyscraper' (made in 1932) and Da Vinci's painting.

What a great rabbit
Reviewed: 15 August 2018 by RustyTromboneGuy, a Straight Going Steady Male
I bought this rabbit as a present for my girlfriend and I was very glad I did. The packaging was good quality and gave the impression that this was going to be a high-quality item. After opening and charging it blew us away. The rabbit itself feels great against the skin and the powerful vibrations wowed us.
I had always shied away from purchasing a rabbit, mainly because I felt they look chunky and plasticky, however, this is the complete opposite. It's soft and well made, very powerful and looks great. My girlfriend has a very sensitive clitoris and this rabbit made her squirm and orgasm very quickly. We have used this rabbit many times since buying it and will be using it again.
- Pros
- It looks classy and is very powerful.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great toy and would happily buy again if mine broke.

Aston Martin of sex toys, luxury and power combined
Reviewed: 18 June 2016 by BullsPrincess, a Bisexual Married Female
Wow this toy is the best vibrator I have ever experienced, and don't think that is an understatement.
Starting from the packaging... The box is not too large and is very much like the ones used for iPhones. The outer cardboard packaging revealed a discreet two part box that fits snugly together. Separating the lid revealed an attractive looking toy covered in a moulded plastic cover. Behind the toy is a cardboard cover containing the charging cable and instructions. Like I say, the experience is very much like opening an iPhone demonstrating quality from the start.
The instructions are generic using pictures and very few words but easy to follow, but it still needed a second attempt to get the magnetic power cable connected and charging.
There may be a small issue with exactly which type of USB power source is needed as after an overnight charge a Samsung supply had not charged it, but switching to an iPhone one worked. I know these both use different currents.
Finally onto the toy itself and use...
It feel soft smooth and has enough weight to feel substantial. There are many different types of vibration that even change what is vibrating (ears or body). It has an excellent power in its vibration feeling very close to an original mains powered Hitachi wand.
Some of the vibration patterns are just "oh so cruel" as they tease you upwards then stop. Both lasting just long enough to really build up the pleasure very slowly.
The shape reaches inside like a large headed penis and fits really well as it follows all the right curves inside.
I often find many toys get squeezed out when I orgasm, but this stays in place through and beyond the pleasure and that is where I think it is unique. Back to back multiple orgasms without an interruption was possible. No needing a break, because of the gross intensity this toy is powerful sensual and perfect.
My partner and I have spent hours playing with this already with everything being very excited and stimulated by the toy meant it was still great without it.
- Pros
- Everything, looks, feel, power, vibration programmes, the orgasms and the orgasms.
- Cons
- The magnetic attached power disconnects very easy.
- Bottom line
- Amazing orgasmic. Fantastic value for money. A must-buy.

Brill piece of kit
Reviewed: 27 November 2017 by Philntez, a Straight Engaged Male
I'll not bore you all with the packaging blah blah blah. This it an awesome bit of clit, I mean kit! Had my Mrs screaming in ecstasy within a minute. What she loves most is the clit stimulation, basically, her clit sits nicely in between the ears so it doesn't half give it a seeing to.
Bad Points -
1. The Buttons - jeez, for such an expensive item you'd think the buttons would be easy to use! But when you've got lube and other gooey goodness on your fingers, it's next to impossible to push those buttons. For anybody looking to use this for solo play, I dare say you'd struggle if you wanted to cycle through the different modes.
2. Charger - not so much a major, but the charger is like a magnetic connection, probably could do with it been a little more magnetic. It's so easy to accidentally knock it off charge.
All in all, it's a brill bit of kit, I probably wouldn't pay the full price of it simply because of Fthe buttons, if you're paying £100+ for something like this then you want it to be perfect. or me and my OH it's not perfect, but it's well worth what we paid for it, and it's now in the top 3 of many of insertable products we own.
- Pros
- Vibrations are deep and varied.
- Cons
- Buttons are hideous.
- Bottom line
- 8 out of 10, worth what we paid.

A Challenging Partnership
Reviewed: 16 July 2017 by Funlover69, a Straight Single Female
I find it so difficult to resist a bargain, especially when it's for something I have had my eye on, so it was inevitable that on seeing this gorgeous G-spot vibrator on sale at half price I would immediately pop it in my basket, adding it to some other treats ready for ordering. You've just got to love Lovehoney's speedy and discreet service. I delight in the fact my orders usually appear within 24 hours and this order was no exception.
Before long, there I stood, brown package in hand, full of excitement, ready to indulge in the pleasures held within. Enthusiastically I opened up my parcel to find my new vibrator beckoning me from amongst my other treats. Its stylish box clearly displayed my vibrators waterproof quality from the off, leaving me in no doubt that I now owned an elegant vibe with perks.
I was impressed with the design of the packaging as I carefully slid the interior box from the attractive sleeve to find a sturdy plain white box which will be ideal for future storage. On opening its lid, the vibe itself sat securely in place in a shaped cut out section with an adaptor fitted neatly alongside in its own slots. Of course the contents didn't end there.
After taking hold of my luxury vibe, a small message became visible saying "lift me", which I dutifully obeyed, lifting the top layer to find a smaller box containing the magnetic charging lead, alongside one instruction leaflet in diagram format, and another with detailed safety information. To top it all there was also a three year warranty card covering all manufacturing defects to be registered online.
By now I had considerable confidence in the quality of my new vibe and was keen to try it out to find out if its performance could match its presentation. I didn't mind leaving it on charge for the suggested initial eight-hour period if this guaranteed a longer lifespan for the batteries.
By early evening I was ready to experiment and made myself comfortable, relaxing to some music as I warmed up with a little nipple and clitoral stimulation. Soon ready for my gorgeous new vibe, I appreciated the luxurious texture of the flawless smooth surfaces as I added plenty water-based lube to enhance the experience.
As soon as my solo play began with it, I was delighted by the power available even on its lowest setting, while also being much quieter than expected. Unfortunately, I found the tiny push button controls almost impossible to operate, which instantly made the whole experience rather frustrating.
However, not to be discouraged I persevered in the hope that I might become more accustomed to them with use. As it happened it became slightly easier but remained a bit of a distraction. The shape of the vibe itself was quite different from other rabbit G-spot vibrators that I own with the closest to it being my glass Jopen Opal one, which had actually been the main attraction for me, apart from being in my favourite colour.
While the Jopen vibe has only one small arm where the rabbit ears normally sit, this vibe has two thick stems which are slightly flexible and feel soft to the touch. I felt that the vibrations going through the ears were not as frantic or overpowering as some that I have, but were still sufficiently stimulating in a deeper more widespread way.
The main shaft with its bulbous head felt amazing as it moved across my labia and entered my vagina with ease, giving a sensation of fullness as it went. While still on the lowest speed, I felt the sensations increase against my G-spot and was driven to take it up to the next level.
While enjoying this stimulation I was disappointed to find that I was unable to maintain the alignment of the ears alongside my clitoris. Again I persevered, although by this time I was feeling rather discouraged. Realising I might struggle to climax, I tried to relax and enjoy the experience of the various patterns to at least familiarise myself with all its functions which are indeed many and varied, with some patterns more teasing than others which come in waves.
Such was the power and potential for fun with more practice at a later date, I decided to abandon play with my new vibe on this occasion, albeit pleasurable in several ways, to swap to a couple of other trusted toys to finish my session, soon achieving a strong blended orgasm which had been slowly building with my Jimmyjane vibe, which had just kept me edging without being able to finish.
Within a couple of days, as my thoughts drifted back to my Jimmyjane vibrator, I felt drawn once again to the thrills of its power and patterns wondering if I might master the techniques required to more easily operate the buttons and also line up the rabbit ears and bulbous headed shaft simultaneously.
I felt convinced that this would make for an amazing experience if I could achieve it. Not being one to give up easily, with positive mind I soon found myself indulging once more in the pleasures of my Jimmyjane.
As before, I warmed up a little before hand then soon, with renewed determination, I introduced my luxury vibe, once more well lubed. Again I enjoyed the deep and strong sensations against my G-spot, feeling the stimulation working deep into my vaginal walls arousing all the nerve endings around the bulbous tip.
The sharply angled narrow neck allowed accurate contact with my G-spot while also being able to be manoeuvred around inside my vagina increasing the stimulation ten fold. All the while, the wider bottom section added stimulation to the entrance of my vagina, further arousing me even more intensely.
After immersing myself for several minutes in this euphoria, I decided to add stimulation from the shorter chubby ears to find that, having become more adept with the handling and manoeuvering of the main shaft, I could now more easily position the ears to create wonderful sensations against and around my clitoris.
By first becoming more familiar with the shape and use of the shaft I was able to master using the whole vibe more efficiently, even finding that once properly positioned, due to the powerful vibrations, little movement was required. In fact I felt that the vibe gripped me so comfortably and securely that I could practically leave it to continue hands free.
Increasing the speed, this time easily had me moving towards what became an all encompassing orgasm which lasted and lasted as I struggled to actually free the vibe from its hold on me. This amazingly unique experience left me overwhelmed with sensations that lingered even after my orgasm, encouraging me to enjoy playing around with the many pleasurable patterns.
Before long, this time enjoying rocking the vibe from side to side and back and forth, the sensations again built to yet another heavenly orgasm lasting as long as the first. By now having convinced myself of this vibes true potential I will never doubt it again and have to admit I may have been like a bad workman blaming my tools first time round. There certainly is a lot of truth in the saying that if at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again.
In sharp contrast to my first session with my Jimmyjane, having mastered the technique required to operate the tiny push buttons, this time was like day is to night. With less frustration here other aspects of its use also seemed simpler with practice, leading to a much more pleasurable experience, leaving me looking forward excitedly to my next adventure with it.
I would now definitely recommend this luxury vibrator to those of curious mind amongst us who would revel in the delights to be enjoyed if they would be so bold as to give it a chance. You are sure to be captivated as I was with its potential. Being rechargeable, waterproof, powerful with many patterns, also super quiet and aesthetically pleasing, this vibe has an incredible amount to offer any prospective buyer.
- Pros
- Its vibrations are stronger than expected while being especially quiet. The patterns are excitingly varied.
- Cons
- The tiny push buttons are difficult, although not impossible, to master.
- Bottom line
- An exceptionally thrilling vibrator if you don't give up at the first hurdle.

The feeling of the vibrator is smooth and soft. Easy to clean, buttons on the device are a bit hard to press though.

I am struggling to catch up on my various blogs and this one is way behind. I have at least one beer festival and a holiday to catch up on, so best make a start.
The beers from the France trip will take some time to do, I have not actually drank all of them yet, as I brought some of them home with me, to taste at my leisure.
To start with today I will review some canned beers from the France trip (the blog from the trip to France starts here but is also incomplete), I have also included a couple of cans from previous trips that relate to some of the new beers.
Saint-Omer (Leclerc), Falsbourg Bière Blonde de Luxe from France
4.5% gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt aroma, slightly sweet malt taste. Not a bad supermarket beer (lager to those in the UK) but best drank very cold on a hot day relaxing in the sun.
Heineken (Leclerc), Falsbourg Bière Blonde Spèciale from France
8.0% gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt aroma and taste. An older photo but it relates to the beer above. Another supermarket beer stronger but not as palatable as the Falsbourg Bière Blonde de Luxe.
Karlsbrau, Citadelle Blond from France
4.6% gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt aroma, sweet malt taste, most of these beers are very similar in taste and again good on a hot day.
Karlsbrau, Citadelle 8.0° from France
8.0% deep gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt aroma, sweet strong alcohol taste, a stronger version of the beer above.
Karlsbrau (Casino and Spar), Kellegen Pur Malt from France
4.2% pail gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt aroma, bitter sweet malt taste, yet another supermarket beer but I thought this one quite drinkable and cheap.
De Gayant, Schoenberg from France
4.2% gold colour with a thin head, malt aroma, thin malt taste, yet another one OK on a hot day but slightly watery.
Saint-Omer (Carrefour), l'Abbaye from France
6.2% deep gold with a good head, the aroma is of freshly baked bread, slightly bitter dry taste, a very good supermarket beer.
Kronenbourg, Tuborg Skøll from France
6.0% gold colour with a thin head, lime zest aroma, sweet lime and lemon taste, no vodka. Not good at all, even though it seems to be very popular in France.

Got a chance to push the workbench a little farther along last weekend so a quick update on my progress. When I last left off, I had dry fit the mortise and tennon joints for the legs together having primarily hand cut them with chisels. I was awaiting the arrival of my steel city drill press which finally showed up mid June or so and that lay in my garage for another couple of weeks in its box. Had a party with some guitar buidling friends and they got it up out of the box and together realtively quickly, helped that I plied them with good food and homebrew :) and of course we were all enjoying the smiles of Forest.
So picking up I was glad to have the drill press to use my larger forstner bits with to cut away the bulk of the mortise joints in the legs for the stretchers, that worked well, but I found its limitations when trying to bore out the beam for the face clamps. More on that in a moment. First here are the legs clamped up to drill dowel holes through the mortise and tennon joints:
And a look a little later down the road at the one of the legs with the dowels inserted:
I was going to drill the hole in the tennon a little lower than the one through the mortise to draw the joint up tight, but then decided instead to fit them together well with pipeclamps and was able to get that whole assembly on my drill press table with a little help from one of those portable roller stands. Some of the joints were a little loose on the dry fit, but between doweling them and gluing up the mating surfaces, I was satisfied with the snugness of their fit and they felt solid and sturdy when out of the clamps.
Next I bored the holes for the front clamps or front vise in the two boards that make up the sides of the well. I carefully oriented them as they would go together and clamped them together drilling through both boards at the same time hoping that this would enhance the alingment of the bar clamp when inserted. The drill press worked great in this application and drilling went smooth:
Again here I used a portable roller stand to help support the piece off the end of the drill press table and that worked well (npi).
The beam that will add mass to the table presented many challenges and in hindsight, many lessons in trying to bore holes that the pipeclamps would slide through beyond the well space. A simple theory was to use the board from the closest side of the well as a template to inicate where all the holes would go and just drill right on through those established holes into the beam, pull the template board off and finish boring out the holes… a simple plan…
However, the distance between the lowest reach of the drill press table and the length of shaft (extension plus forstner bit) and the width of the beam (13") were simply not compatable. I ended up swinging the table out of the way and using chairs and boxes to try and prop the beam up square to the bit, then moving the beam six inches for all the holes was a real pain and trying to reestablish square to the bit, very, very time consuming, lots of movement, not much drilling.
The depth of the bore also proved to be difficult for the forstner to handle even with lots of dipping in and out to clear the chips. Then the length of the bit and extension were not enough to get all the way through so I learned an important lesson: even with being very careful to make everything square, a new drill press etc. it is very difficult, if possible at all to get holes bored from opposite sides of a beam to line up so a pipe will slide through them. They ended up being off, substantialy in some situations. I ended up trekking over to Hardwicks eventually and getting a ship boring bit to bore out the holes and even that was challenged by the task:
When I finally could see daylight through all the holes, I needed to do a lot of work with a coarse rat tail rasp to begin to get the holes near alingment. I felt more like a miner than a woodworker through those many hours. Even after getting the pipes through all the holes, I know there will be more work ahead in the final assembly to get them to work smoothly.
The well assembly went smoothly and I made great use of some framing clamps my mother-in-law gifted me with for my birthday. The dry-fit with the clamps is pictured here
I then again used the drill press to bore holes for 1/2" dowels for the two small boards so I would be screwing through the endgrain into them with the decking screws. However, I waited to screw together the entire assmbly because I wanted to mount the board on the side of the well to the beam before having the entire well screwed together so I would have good access with my drill and screwdriver. I did attach the two spacer blocks to the well board on that side before I attached it to the beam. Sorry I didn't stop to take time to photograph those steps, but it is a good thing to think through before completing this step. Here is a picture fitting the well to the beam
I spent a considerable amount of time cutting the tennons for the two stretchers with a Ryoba Handsaw, and then cutting out the mortise holes for the tennon tusks with chisels. I also considered how I would attach the top to the sled and decided I would try bolting it together with 3 1/2" bolts above the two legs so I bored holes to accomodate the bolts and washers on the top and nuts, washers and lock nuts on the bottom. It is my hope that the lock washers will provide enough tension so that if I ever want to unbolt it to move it, the nut will turn without the bolt, at least to break the initial turns. There should be enough bolt exposed on the bottom to hold it still while I turn the nut in that scenario. Here is a picture of the bored piece with one of the bolts laying next to it.
You can also see I was fitting the tennons for the stretchers at this point along the way in the above picture. There was also a little bit of a greater depth to the beam than the two boards comprising the sides of the well so I used my bandsaw to resaw some extra stock to thicken up the supports and was extremely pleased with how well they turned out. They will cover part of the bolts, you may get a better idea of the concept from these pictures.
One of the most pleasing parts of this project so far was to take John Whites initial idea and then take some risks and throw my own creativity into the process. I was very happy with how the tusked mortise and tennon joints turned out for the stretchers and adding the second stretcher both made the sled extra solid, and will provide an easy way to mount a shelf down there to hold planes, hand tools, and my tool chest.
Here is another shot of fitting the joints with the top of the bench in view. It was a great pleasure after many months of thinking about it and aquring tools and materials to see the bench coming together.
Finally a series of shots of the tusked mortise and tennon joints as well as the joinery of the legs in view. They are not worthy of the pages of Fine Woodworking, but I am pleased with my first effort at their functionality and their appearance isn't that bad if you don't look too closely at the places where I chipped out some stock etc. I guess that is what trim is for eh?
That about wraps up as far as I was able to push the plow this time around. Hopefully I will be able to put together a little more time in the workshop soon as I am pretty close to getting the top on and will post again after that point. In the meantime, thanks for reading and I look forward to your comments and suggestions.

Synthetic, structural and bonding studies of main group-transition metal carbonyl clusters
Eveland, Jeffrey Robert
Doctor of Philosophy
Structural studies on solvated adducts of bismuth (III) chloride have demonstrated the ability of the main group element to form multiple bonding contacts, giving "hypervalent" complexes. Similar interactions are observed in almost all aspects of the chemistry of the heavy main group elements. The reaction of $\rm \lbrack Bi\sb2Co\sb4(CO)11\rbrack\sp{1{-}}$ with $\rm Mo(CO)\sb3(\eta\sp6$-$\rm C\sb6H\sb5Me)$ in tetrahydrofuran yields an unidentified cluster product which, upon slow oxidation with molecular dioxygen or mild metal-organic oxidants yields the two large cluster species, $\rm \lbrack Bi\sb4CO\sb9(CO)\sb8(\mu$-$\rm CO)\sb8\rbrack\sp{2{-}}$ and $\rm \lbrack Bi\sb8Co\sb{14}(CO)\sb{12}(\mu$-$\rm CO)\sb8\rbrack\sp{2{-}}.$ These cluster products contain arrays of metal atoms in the cluster framework which are reminiscent of close-packed solid-state intermetallics. Halogenation of the bismuth-iron cluster $\rm \lbrack Bi\sb4Fe\sb4(CO)\sb{13}\rbrack\sp{2{-}}$ has been performed using the phosphine halide reagent, MePCl$\sb2.$ With the addition of one equivalent of the reagent, two compounds are produced in an approximately 3:1 ratio, respectively: $\rm \lbrack Fe\sb2(CO)\sb6(\mu$-$\rm H)Bi\sb2\{\mu$-$\rm Fe(CO)\sb4\}\rbrack\sp-$ and $\rm \lbrack Bi\sb3Cl\sb4(\mu$-$\rm Cl)\sb4\{\mu\sb3$-$\rm Fe(CO)\sb3\}\rbrack\sp{3{-}}.$ Upon the addition of a second equivalent of reagent, the latter compound apparently decomposes; however the former is converted into the related dichloro-cluster, $\rm \lbrack Fe\sb2CO)\sb6(\mu$-$\rm H)Bi\sb2(\mu$-$\rm Cl)\sb2\rbrack\sp-.$ Addition of yet more reagent results in the formation of the bismuth chloride-iron carbonyl adduct $\rm \lbrack Bi\sb2Cl\sb4(\mu$-$\rm Cl)\sb2\{ \mu$-$\rm Fe(CO)\sb4\}\rbrack\sp{2{-}}$ at the expense of the dichloride cluster. This latter complex may also be produced quantitatively by reaction of $\rm \lbrack Fe(CO)\rbrack\sp{2{-}}$ with two equivalents of BiCl$\sb3$ in MeCN. The reaction of the tellurium-iron cluster $\rm Te\sb2Fe\sb3(CO)\sb9$ with SO$\sb2$Cl$\sb2$ yields a variety of products, depending on the reaction stoichiometry and the solvent employed in the synthesis. In CH$\sb2$Cl$\sb2$ at a ratio of 1:2, respectively, the large dimeric complex $\rm \lbrack Fe\sb2(CO)\sb6(\mu$-$\rm Cl)(\mu$-$\rm TeCl)\sb2\rbrack\sb2\lbrack Te\sb2Cl\sb{10}\rbrack$ is formed, which decomposes in solution to the Zintl-ion complex $\rm \lbrack Fe\sb2(CO)\sb6(\mu$-$\rm TeCl\sb2)(\eta\sp2$-$\mu\sb2$-$\mu\sb2$-Te$\sb4 )\rbrack.$ In MeCN at a ratio of 1:1, the previously reported tetrahedral cluster Te$\sb2$Fe$\sb2$(CO)$\sb6$ is produced, which reacts with additional reagent to yield a complex thought to be $\rm \lbrack Fe\sb2(CO)\sb6(\mu$-$\rm TeCl)\sb2(\mu$-$\rm Cl)\rbrack$ from spectroscopic evidence. This cluster in turn decomposes in solution to $\rm \lbrack Fe\sb2(CO)\sb6(\mu$-$\rm TeCl\sb2)(\eta\sp2$-$\mu\sb2$-$\mu\sb2$-Te$\sb4)\rbrack$ like the first compound. Different products result if the solvent system is again changed to SO$\sb2$/Me$\sb2$CO at $-$30$\sp\circ$C. Although these unstable products have not been structurally characterized, a fair amount of other analytical and spectroscopic data have been obtained. The bromination of Te$\sb2$Fe$\sb3$(CO)$\sb9$ with CBr$\sb4$ has also been performed in MeCN, giving initially Te$\sb2$Fe$\sb2$(CO)$\sb6;$ however, upon reaction with more CBr$\sb4$ over a few weeks time at 0$\sp\circ$C, the novel cubane-like cluster $\rm \lbrack Fe\sb3(CO)\sb9Te\sb4(\mu\sb3$-$\rm CTeBr\sb4)\rbrack$ results in low to moderate yields of 30-65% based on Te. Theoretical calculations by the extended Huckel method have been performed on some model systems, and have provided valuable insight into the underlying bonding arrangements giving rise to the sometimes-unexpected stability and structural features of these products.

The Jury Fury!
Hola Bitcholas,
We had a discussion about jury duty today. No one loves it, but we wondered which would be the better scenario: average, boring 2 weeks or a 'crime of the century' type trial (like OJ) for 7 months?
Initially, I thought I'd prefer the 7-month-spectacle. I figure it's interesting at worst. However, you're cut off from the outside world for the duration of the trial...and it takes just one fool to f**k up the whole thing, leaving you to explain your decision years later on "60 Minutes". Or so it seems.
On the other hand, 2 weeks of boredom serving on some garden- variety nonsense sounds absolutely dreadful. Relativity.
Yea, that's all I got.
Until tomorrow, do what you do best and STAY BEAUTIFUL!
AND we have your Mens Room Summer Drinking Shirt! Get one and party in style, bitcholas!
Listen to all FOUR hours of the show daily by shrieking, "ALEXA! Play KISW!" between 2-6p PST*

Mosman Park
6012, Western Australia
Mosman Park, or 'Mossie Park' as it is affectionately known by locals, is an affluent suburb nestled between the Indian Ocean to the west, and the Swan River to the east and south. Mosman Park has a storied history and has undergone many significant changes over the years.
The suburb was originally known as Buckland Hill before changing its name to Cottesloe Beach in the early 1900s. Finally, in 1937, the name Mosman Park was chosen and settled upon. Mosman Park was originally an industrial hub, but today it is better known as one of the most affluent suburbs in Australia.
Local residents take full advantage of the suburbs location, and you will often see people making use of the natural amenities whilst picnicking and walking along Freshwater Bay. Today, almost all of Mosman Park is residential, although significant parklands exist at Buckland Hill and along the river and coast, as well as several sport and recreation facilities.
There's plenty to do in Mosman Park, with Glyde Street playing host to a wide range of vibrant venues including leading cafes, wine bars and restaurants. Camelot Outdoor Theatre is another secret that's hugely popular with the locals. BYO blankets, and snuggle up under the stars to watch movies played on the big screen throughout summer.
Mosman Park has a population of several thousand people living in a variety of dwellings, about half of which were detached houses on separate lots. The local architecture is quite modern and many of Perth's most expensive mansions and properties can be found dotted along the banks of the Swan River.
Gerald Watts is our local expert and has gained inside knowledge of the suburb over the past 20 years. Gerald's experience and sales record make him a proven performer when it comes to Mosman Park real estate. Give Gerald a call if you're looking to buy or sell in Mosman Park.

The army of Sherman was now exposing one of the great embarrassments of a chivalric, apartheid society: rhetoric, costumes, polite manners, titles, and arcane traditions among a privileged elite hide weakness rather than reflect strength. An egalitarian society of freeholding citizens that can draw on all members of its population, make them feel of equal value to the cause, and sanction their brutality by a true democratic consensus, needs no emblems of ferocity because it is intrinsically ferocious, even scary in war, both numerically and qualitatively. It was no accident that on surrender Grant looked shabby, slouchy, and muddy, Lee resplendent and sworded; Sherman was rumpled, Joe Johnston dapper in his military gray; as a rule, Southern horsemen were more privileged and adroit, Union cavalry workmanlike and more numerous; Southern infantry loud, brave, and bold in their charges, Union troops usually better armed, more plentiful, and in the end far more lethal.
-Victor Davis Hanson, The Soul of Battle, p. 174.

Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon "Life Sucks" (partially found unfinished episode of animated series; 1990s)
From The Lost Media Wiki
"Life Sucks" is an unfinished episode of Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon conceived around the time when John K. was fired from Nickelodeon in 1992.
The episode begins with Stimpy happily watering his garden when Ren comes and tells him that life sucks. Stimpy disagrees with him, so Ren tells him the story of Children's Crusade. Many Spumco employees considered it the best Ren & Stimpy episode ever written. The episode was to be revived for the Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, but after that show's cancellation, the hopes of "Life Sucks" getting completed are very slim.
Although only 8 minutes of the cartoon's animatic have been released, John K. has posted several sketches of additional scenes to his blog.[1]

Arthroscopy is a procedure used to diagnose and treat the conditions that affect your joints, from torn ligaments to degenerative disease. Emile Wakim, MD, at Pacifica Orthopedics has extensive experience performing arthroscopy of the knee, shoulder, wrist, and ankle joints. If you suffer from pain and limited movement in these joints and need medical or surgical care, call the office in Huntington Beach, California, or book an appointment online.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that's used to diagnose the cause of your joint symptoms and to perform surgery to repair the problem.
The procedure is minimally invasive because it uses a few very small incisions rather than the single, long incision required for traditional open surgery.
The primary piece of equipment, the arthroscope, is an advanced, pencil-thin device that contains a fiber-optic light and a high-definition video camera. The camera sends images to a monitor with a clarity that allows Dr. Wakim to see the smallest details.
When you need a surgical procedure, Dr. Wakim uses specialized surgical tools contained in narrow tubes. They're inserted through other small incisions, then controlled by the doctor from outside your body.
Dr. Wakim performs diagnostic and surgical arthroscopy for your knee, shoulder, wrist, and ankle joints. They may recommend arthroscopy for joint problems such as inflammation, degeneration, nerve compression, and injuries to tendons and ligaments.
A few examples of common arthroscopic procedures include:
Dr. Wakim may also remove loose fragments of bone or cartilage from inside the joint.
Often performed with arthroscopy, the SCP is a cutting-edge procedure that targets and fills a subchondral bone defect. Subchondral bone is located just below articular cartilage in a joint, where it supports the cartilage and helps absorb shock.
Subchondral bone is commonly damaged in weight-bearing joints like the knee and ankle and is often associated with knee osteoarthritis.
When damage is found, SCP is a minimally invasive, fluoroscopically guided procedure that repairs the defect by filling it with a bone substitute. As the defect heals, new bone replaces the substitute.
Arthroscopy is typically an outpatient procedure, so you go home the same day rather than spending several days in the hospital.
A few small incisions cause significantly less trauma than the long incision used during open surgery. As a result, arthroscopy offers health benefits such as:
In most cases, Dr. Wakim doesn't need to cut your muscles because the tools are so narrow they can be gently inserted between muscle fibers.
You'll need to limit the use of your joint for a short time following arthroscopy, although the length of time depends on your procedure.
With all types of procedures, arthroscopy means your recovery time is shorter, so you can start rehabilitation earlier and get back in action sooner.
If you have knee, shoulder, wrist, or ankle pain, or you know you need a surgical procedure, call Pacifica Orthopedics or book an appointment online to see if you're a good candidate for arthroscopy.

Eyeglasses Storage? Check! -- Some GREAT ideas for your Growing Glasses CollectionPosted by Ira at Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Ask and ye shall receive.
I queried the GlassyEyes Hive Mind last week looking for some storage ideas for my burgeoning collection of eyeglasses. It outgrew two drawers and space being at a premium, I was searching for something that would make it easy for me to see what I have while making organizational sense.
I got a number of really good ideas (click the collage above for a better view).
I was thinking of building a wall-mounted system on my own, but after seeing a couple of the photographs people sent in, I realized my perfect solution was pre-existing and right in front of my face (literally). My anguish turned to glee in a matter of moments.
It may not be for everyone, but it works great for me. An additional tick in the pro column, is that it provides me a some motivation when the blogging muse is a bit quiet.
Replication of this system will set you back between $5 and $15, plus some anchor bolts.
Here are a couple of links (I use the first one, but depending on your situation, the second, cheaper option may work out just fine).

Lets face it, projectors are not the most exciting of gadgets. And if we have to hear about another mobile projector ever again, we'll probably scream. With that said, the BryteWerks Model One Projector does look pretty neat. This HD digital projector is actually running on an Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 CPU and it also packs in a slot-loaded Blu-ray player, up to 2 terabytes of storage – including a 500 gigabyte Solid State Drive, plus built-in Wi-fi and ethernet. Yep, so the Model One Projector is basically a media center PC with a built-in projector. Now that is a media center PC that saves space and makes a whole lot of sense, so why didn't someone think of it until now!?
When it comes to software, the system is running a custom version of XBMC, an open source media organization and playback application. Things get more interesting because the Model One also packs in an 8.9-inch touch panel display with a 720P resolution. This display, located at the back of the projector, allows you to control the system, although a remote control is included too, and you can also use the free XBMC remote app for Android and iOS devices, or even a WiFi or bluetooth keyboard.
The cubed system itself measures 17 inches cubed and weighs 28lbs, and even claims to be rugged. That is hardly portable though. As far as its projector prowess is concerned, the Model One eatures an ultra-wide 105 mm adjustable prime lens, an ultra-high brightness of 6,000 – 11,000 lumens, a 1000:1 True Contrast Ratio, a 1:1 throw of 1 foot to 50 feet, and it's capable of producing a full 16:10 widescreen HD 1080p resolution .
Some other features include dual HDMI and USB ports and 5.1 individual analog surround sound outputs. The system's design also uses a patent-pending cable management system that conceals all cable interfaces in the projector's Mag-Snap feet.
The BryteWerks Model One projectors series is available in four models, with prices from $2,449.00, $2,999.00, $3,999.00 and $5,999.00. The projectors go on sale January 9th, just in time for CES.

I realized (once again) how lucky I am to have such loving friends and family this past weekend. My husband and I went to our hometown for my birthday and we had a fantastic time! First of all, my always considerate father-in-law emailed me ahead of time for a vegan birthday cake recipe. My sis-in-law planned a picnic (really a bbq, but I think picnic sounded more vegan-friendly to everyone) with a ton of animal-free dishes! We gathered on her back deck and enjoyed a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
The cake was phenomenal. I heard a lot of people saying that it was better than any non-vegan cake they'd ever had. This was exactly what I wanted: for everyone to have a positive experience while enjoying vegan foods and realizing that it isn't a big deal!! Best birthday present ever. Plus, the menu sparked a lot of great conversations and over the course of the weekend I shared the many health benefits of juicing, eating a vegan diet, and other fun wellness habits that I adore.
I'm also happy to say that I received a subscription to Get Fresh! Magazine, a Kleen Kanteen, a salad spinner (love this! saves lots of paper towels), and many other thoughtful gifts:) I can hear my new chime dangling on my back porch.
I had some fresh young coconut water from Zia's today! They opened up a little hole at the top and I brought it home with me. There is a lot of water in one of those coconuts! Over a pint. Later, I scooped out the coconut meat for a smoothie, yum! I also had the pleasure of visiting Liquid Earth this evening with another birthday girl. We brought our hubbies along and enjoyed a delicious meal. I had the raw tacos again, they are so good:)
Tomorrow morning its off to Waverly's Farmer's Market. Time for bed, so that we can get there bright and early.

Not wanting to regret not regretting going out into the city on New Year's Eve, we decided to take advantage of the free transit service to see what kind of place we could find that would be open to get a couple drinks at before midnight.
It was surprisingly dead out, probably something to do with the -20°C temperatures outside. We ended up going to El Rey to get some Mezcal to wrap up 2017 with. Seemed like a fitting choice since we were in Oaxaca, Mexico enjoying all the smokey flavours at the beginning of the year.
We expected it to be a bit rowdy and noisy, but it was actually very laid back and pleasant in the bar. Cool Mexican decor, nice tables to sit at and great atmosphere to chill with Jessica and talk about 2017. We each ordered a flight of mezcal with some snacks and sat there enjoying the smoky aromas and flavours while not wanting them to end. A perfect place for us to wind down the old year!
In the morning, we slept in a bit (of course we did!) and were trying to decide what to do for breakfast. The thought of paying $15 for a couple of eggs and bread at a brunch place was not at all appealing to us. I scrubbed down the cast iron pan and got to work doing the breakfast thing myself. With a belly full of protein (and some fudge that we snuck in on the side) we ventured out for a new year's day walk through Toronto.
We ended up wandering trough Kensington market as it began to snow. The good kind of snow, nice and fluffy and beautiful! However, still a bit chilly, so we decided it was probably a good time to sit down and get some more food.
We saw that King's Noodle in Chinatown was looking pretty happening, so we checked it out. You know, that place that you always walk by with ducks and pigs hanging in the window? Yeah, that one!
Despite the lineup, we were seated immediately for being a table of two. I got the pig in wonton soup with noodles, Jessica got the duck. The duck was alright, but the pork was definitely the winner. No surprise why we saw people piling it on in takeout containers to go home with.
By now it was a bit after 4:00pm, so the sun was starting to go down. We took the opportunity to head over to Ontario Place to check out the Winter Light Exhibition. Besides, we had tickets to see Blade Runner 2049 in the Imax Cinespehre at 7:00pm.
By the time we walked there, my fingers were going numb from the cold. We warmed up while watching the movie, then headed back out to explore the park grounds and see the lights before walking back home. We were the only ones there as we listened to the waves crashing on the frozen beach and walked though the eerie, yet romantic amusement park grounds.
Happy new year!!! 2017 was quite the ride, but I think 2018 will be better!

New Distillery Signals More Growth For Missouri Spirits Scene
ROCHEPORT - Les Bourgeois won't just be known for its wine anymore.
The winery is partnering with a local distiller to make a new craft brand of liquor: Planck & Anchor Distillers.
Johnny Ver Planck, the distiller for Planck & Anchor, has tried partnerships elsewhere in Missouri.
"I tried to do it in Jefferson City alone and it wasn't in the right area, you can't manufacture it," Ver Planck said. "So I checked out wineries in the state of Missouri and Les Bourgeois seemed like the best fit for me."
The flagship product of this distillery is Rocheport Rum, which launched May 1.
"I've got a lot of time in the Caribbean, I'm a bit of a rummy," Ver Planck said. "We're doing rum here and we'll be doing some other spirits as well."
Les Bourgeois is also partnering with Broadway Brewery to help the brewery distribute kegged products. The brewery leased a space at the winery and will be moving some of its production to that area.
Drew Lemberger, a managing partner at Les Bourgeois, said these new ventures are a response to the trend of consumers buying local craft products.
"That's one of the reasons why, as a company strategically, we've branched into other different forms of producing alcohol," Lemberger said. "We're hoping to benefit from that trend and hopefully set a few trends in the meantime."
That trend isn't lost on other distillers in the area, like Mike Anderson of Mid-Best Distillery in Gravois Mills.
"It's just exploding right now," Anderson said. "There seems to be a push for a craft-type product."
Mid-Missouri is emerging with more and more distilleries, wineries, and breweries. Anderson said part of the reason the area is seeing more of these is the lesser difficulty of opening a distillery here as opposed to other parts of the state.
"One of them is the regulatory specs are less here," Anderson said. "It's easier to open a business here in Mid-Missouri than say Kansas City, which makes it less expensive."
Ver Planck also said mid-Missouri is an easier place to start up, but had other reasons to explain why the area is fertile for more growth.
"You have a lot of agriculture here, so people like their local resources and stuff like that," Ver Planck said.
Lemberger cited the state's history in winemaking as part of the reason for this trend.
"Missouri has always had a long tradition in winemaking," Lemberger said. "Before Prohibition, we were one of the largest, if not the largest, wine-producing state in the nation. Then, after Prohibition, there's been a resurgence. It's just that tradition we've had as a winemaking community and this whole new movement of buying and drinking local foods and wines has helped with that as well."
Ver Planck thinks Missouri is starting to rise in the national spirits scene in terms of quality.
"Missouri is kind of starting to put itself on the map," Ver Planck said. "There are a few distilleries around the state that are coming out swinging pretty good."
Kim Pierce, a frequent Missouri wine consumer, said that higher quality is a reason she buys local wines.
"I just find them refreshing and sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet," Pierce said. "In my opinion, they're well balanced and I like that."
Pierce said she also enjoys contributing to the Missouri economy.
"I enjoy finding a product that is made locally and is at a reasonable price," Pierce said. "Keep the tax dollars here and keep the prices reasonable."
Michael Ivancich, head brewer at Broadway Brewer, said these consumers like the variety with craft products.
"People who want craft beer, or craft liquor, or small batch things, they aren't going to drink the same craft beer over and over," Ivancich said.
But even with all the competition emerging in the mid-Missouri spirits scene, the people behind the products feel like they have a good relationship with each other.
"Actually, for me, I don't even view it as competition," Anderson said. "Anything that gets the word about craft distilling and craft spirits actually does good for me."
"We realize, and I think the local establishments realize, being super competitive is great on the store shelf but when it comes down to the day-to-day operations, I think most other companies will bend over backwards and at least try to help you if you're having an issue with production or something, Lemberger said. "I think the beer, liquor, and wine industries are very open in Missouri as far as that dialogue, and I think you're seeing a lot of the products that are coming onto the market are benefiting from that."

Difference Between CPR Training for Children and Infants
Robert E. O 'Connor of the University of Virginia school of medicine researched Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Infants and Children in which the results showed a worrying trend. The rates of mortality among infants and children who have been exposed to cardiac arrest while outside the hospital stood at 80 to 97% against 40 to 65% for those in the hospital.
Whilst the search engine is registering an increase in online CPR certification near me searches, there is still the need for certified CPR practitioners especially for children and infants. The physical-biological characteristics and natural habits put children and infants at a greater need for CPR. (more…)

How to Apply CPR on Adults & Kids– Priceless Information for Professionals
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the essential lifesaving skills for any professional to have. People who work in the service industry, whether in security services, the hospitality or restaurant industry, or as members of a hotel staff, are strongly encouraged to have a basic knowledge of CPR techniques so they may assist any member of the public in the event of a cardiac arrest. Emergency situations happen every day, and it's imperative to have the knowledge and confidence required to save lives with CPR.
A cardiac arrest victim can die within eight minutes if they don't receive CPR because their major organs, including the brain, do not receive oxygen when the heart stops. This urgency makes performing CPR a vital part of saving someone's life when they collapse from cardiac arrest. CPR manually pumps the blood, allowing it to continue to carry oxygen to the organs until emergency medical services can take over. Bystander CPR saves lives in those first critical minutes after cardiac arrest occurs, where stepping in and taking action can be the difference between the victim's life and death. (more…)

How to Apply First Aid and CPR to Children with Special Health Care Needs
Accidents happen, especially when children are involved. Children are not always aware of the consequences of their actions and therefore are more likely to be accidentally injured than adults are. Children with special needs are especially prone to accidental injury as they are often in less control of their bodies than typically developing children are. When it comes to keeping children safe from injury or illness, their caregivers, teachers, coaches, and other adults are responsible for their well being. For children with special needs, the importance of having clear advocates for their physical health, when they are unable to do it themselves, becomes even more pronounced.
Children with Special Needs
Children with special needs fall onto a spectrum of required care, from those children who need very little assistance to those who need much more support. Children with special needs like Autism, Downs syndrome, and ADHD, face several significant challenges in operating in a typical day, let alone when they are in an emergency medical situation. For these children, communication, self-regulation, and basic care can be challenging on any given day, and when extenuating circumstances arise, it's all too easy for their physical health to suffer and their unique needs to fall between the cracks. (more…)
Are You Prepared to Perform CPR on Your Child?
Seeing a child that has become unresponsive or stops breathing can be terrifying. And it can happen to you or a loved one. Most researchers believe that the most common place for your child to be injured is not where you think. It's not on the football field. It's not at school and it's not in an automobile on a major highway. Research suggests that over 4 million childhood injuries that result in emergency room visits occur in the home every year.
Let's take a look at some numbers about children and accidents due to choking and drowning:
- Over 10,000 children each year choke on their food and are taken to the local emergency room.
- Over 16 million children a year are hospitalized for accidental injuries, which include drowning and choking.
- In children under the age of 5, 90% of deaths occur from small foreign objects.
- In infants, the most common cause of choking is liquids.
- 19% of children under age 14 had choking-related injuries due to candy.
- 18% of children ages 1-4 had choking-related injuries due to coins.
- Drowning is the second-highest cause of accidental injury and death in children under age 14.
- Drowning occurs in the home more than 70% of the time and it occurs throughout the year.
- Drowning is NOT seasonal. It only takes one inch of water for a small child to drown.
Now let's look at some important Child CPR Facts:
- If CPR is done correctly and performed early enough, it could save 100-200 thousand children annually.
- Taking 25 minutes out of your time could help you save a child's life. According to recent research a person needs approximately 5 minutes training on using an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) and just 20 minutes training in CPR to be effective.
- More than 90 thousand people are saved every year, thanks to someone who took the time to learn CPR.
Any child who is accidentally injured in a choking or drowning accident needs CPR immediately. Given all the facts, it is vitally important that everyone who has or is around children be certified in Child CPR. Are you prepared to perform CPR on your child of any of these accidents should occur in your presence?
Remember, it only takes a few minutes of training to save a child's life. You can help lower the staggering statistics above by learning how to perform Child CPR.

Losing skid reaches three, Broncos swept by Blades
Swift Current rang in the New Year with a quick day trip up north to face the Saskatoon Blades for the back half of a home-and-home set at the SaskTel Centre. After dropping a 4-3 decision on December 30th on home ice, the Broncos funk continued as they lost 4-2 in regulation on Monday afternoon.
Dryden Michaud one-timed a pass from Tyler Lees to give Saskatoon a 1-0 lead midway through the first period.
The Broncos got one back thanks to a terrific indivual play from Broncos forward Ethan Regnier. The rookie forced a turnover in Saskatoon territory and then rifled a good low wrist shot off the far post and in to force a 1-1 score after 20 minutes of play.
The Blades' Evan Fiala capped off a partial two-on-one break to make the score 2-1 Saskatoon at the 7:49 mark in the middle frame.
But once again, the Broncos responded in no time as vetern winger Kole Gable zoomed down the left wing, kept the puck and wired a wrist shot just by the Blades defenceman and netminder Nolan Maier.
Swift Current found themselves in penalty trouble in the third period and it proved to be devastating as Josh Paterson victimized the Broncos again, tapping in a bouncing puck from a scramble in the Broncos crease to make it 3-2.
Paterson's goal ended up being the game winner as Braylon Shmyr tacked on an empty netter when the Broncos went with a six-on-five attack pressing to tie it up.
Shots on goal were 42-22 in favour of Saskatoon. Swift Current went 0/3 on the power play while Saskatoon clicked for a single power play goal on four tries.
The Broncos return home to faceoff against the Kootenay ICE on Wednesday, January 3rd at the Innovation Credit Union I-Plex. Puck drop is at 7:00pm CT.

President John Mahama has directed the immediate interdiction of three persons for issuing resident permits to some Chinese Nationals without due regard.
They are the Deputy Director, Finance and Administration, Ms Veronica Addy, Acting Deputy Director Legal, Mr Kwame Asuah Takyi and the Regional Commander, Volta Region, Mr Joseph Gardiner, all of the Ghana Immigration Service.
They did not also follow strict requirement of the law and institutional procedure practices in relation to such permit/visas.
A statement issued by the Interior Ministry said the administrative process of interdiction was to among other things; afford the service the opportunity to conduct further investigation into the matter.
The interdiction would also afford them the opportunity to appear before a trial disciplinary panel to be instituted into their conduct on account of adverse prima facie findings made against them in the investigative report.
The statement noted that the institution of the disciplinary proceedings was in accordance with the disciplinary orders of the service.
The three officers have therefore been directed to hand over the duties of their office and all official items and vehicles on charge to them to officers who have been appointed by the president.
The new appointments are Mr Felix Yaw Sarpong, Acting Deputy Director in charge of Operations, replaces Mr Daniel Taabauing, who had retired from the service.
Ms Judith Mawunyo Dzokoto is now the Acting Deputy Director, Finance and Administration, whilst Ms Victoria Ninette Baaba Asare becomes the Acting Deputy Director in charge of Legal.

A gun buyback program backfired after residents turned in rusty, single shot rifles in exchange for $100 gift cards.
The buyback program hosted by the Michigan City, Mich., Police Department yielded nearly 150 weapons, the vast majority of which appeared to be clunkers valued below $100 and unlikely to be favored by criminals.
In fact, some of the rifles look like they were originally sold from a Sears catalog.
The police department faced quite a bit of backlash when it posted the results on Facebook.
"Did they really turn in a black powder revolver? I'm so glad they were able to stop John Marston from robbing any more trains with it," one person said.
Other comments were just as vicious.
"Michigan City PD finally broke up the infamous Metamucil gang," another one said. "They committed most of their crimes between 6 AM and 1 PM, before nap time."
The single-shot rifles bought back by police are rarely used in crimes, according to FBI statistics.
"In fact, according to the 2017 Uniformed Crime Report, knives were used four times more than rifles in murders," reported personaldefenseworld.com. "Additionally, all types of rifles are included in the report—bolt-action, pump-action, single shot and semi-autos."
"More so, blunt objects, such as hammers and clubs, killed 64 more people than rifles, with 467 murders," the article continued. "Even hands and feet killed more people than rifles, with 692 murder victims being beaten or kicked to death."
Virginia is on the verge of erecting automated revenue collectors on its highways.
