Over the years, Sesame Street has touched on many social topics that are important to young children, including racism, autism, gun violence, parents in prison—and even death.
This week, the children's television series has introduced a new Muppet named Lily, who is the first character to talk about being homeless. The effort is part of the Sesame Street in Communities initiative for children and families experiencing homelessness.
While painting a rainbow with Elmo and adult Sofia, Lily stops in the middle of the purple section because purple is her favorite color and reminds her of her old bedroom.
"We don't have our own apartment anymore," explains Lily. "We've been staying in all kinds of different places."
Sofia explains that "home" is more than a house or an apartment. "Home is really where the love is."
Together, we got this. Lily and @Elmo share a special way they show each other support and kindness. For more resources for children and families experiencing homelessness: https://t.co/rmzB7PHXHc pic.twitter.com/jMI7IjNski

The storyline was introduced to destigmatize homelessness, which more than 2.5 million children experience nationwide—and 1.2 million of are under age six, says Sesame Street Workshop, in a press release.

Lily has appeared on the show before, when her family did not have enough food to eat.
"We know children experiencing homelessness are often caught up in a devastating cycle of trauma—the lack of affordable housing, poverty, domestic violence, or other trauma that caused them to lose their home, the trauma of actually losing their home, and the daily trauma of the uncertainty and insecurity of being homeless," said Sherrie Westin, President of Global Impact and Philanthropy at Sesame Workshop. "We want to help disrupt that cycle by comforting children, empowering them and giving them hope for the future."
Home is more than a house or an apartment. Home is wherever the love lives—the love within a family and community. Learn more about our new resources around homelessness: https://t.co/rmzB7PHXHc #SesameCommunity pic.twitter.com/i6j0tFJNSc

Additional resources are designed to show the homeless experience from a child's perspective, with Lily and her friends encouraging optimism, promoting understanding and modeling simple coping strategies for children. The new resources include:
- "Connect the Dots": Lily and Sofia play a game that helps Lily feel surrounded by love.
- "Rainbow Kind of Day": Lily, Elmo, and Sofia learn the benefits of talking about big feelings and asking for help.
- "Ribbons of Hope": After her family finds permanent housing, Lily demonstrates "survivor's pride" and shares a coping strategy—and a special bracelet—with Elmo.
- "Home Is…": Elmo and Rosita meet some new friends who don't have homes right now and learn about what the concept of "home" means to them.

The Disney Paradise Pier card is going out to Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, thanks to a Postcrossing Forum tag trade in which participants were to list what Disney-related postcards they might like to receive. The person I tagged wanted real Disney parks or hotels. This is a card that I was given as a
guest customer of the Disney Paradise Pier Hotel. It's my favorite of Disneyland's three hotels! I like being out of the scrum. Of course, if you like basic hotel amenities–more of them, and without needless additional charges–the right choice is just about any of the off-site, non-Disney hotels.
The other two cards are regular Postcrossing draws. I pulled TWO users in Asia! Those odds are practically impossible–especially as I don't currently have any cards traveling to Netherlands or Belarus!
The bridge card goes to someone in Beijing, China, who said he would like to receive bridge postcards, and the tiger is going to a cat lover in Taoyuan, Taiwan.

Maya Yoshida believes he is entering a prime point in his career, after signing a new contract on his 29th birthday.
Yoshida put pen to paper on a fresh three-year deal on Thursday, which would see his time with Saints extend to eight seasons.
Having become such an established part of the squad, the Japan international is excited about what lies ahead.
"I am 29 now and I think that's a really good age for my career," he said. "I hope it's going to be a really special time for the club and we will achieve more and more. That's why we need to fight for some achievements every day.
"I have been here for five years. The club trusts me and the manager trusts me as well, and that makes me have a really good feeling.
"I understand my position right now, and I would like to be the role model for the young lads. It's not easy, because every day, for 24 hours, I have to be professional and give everything to myself and the club, but I am used to doing that."
Having fought hard to earn a regular place in the starting line-up, Yoshida hopes he can continue to hold onto that spot.
"The previous three years I couldn't play constantly, but I have done what I needed to do, and that's why when the chance came I grabbed it," he said.
"I don't want to lose my place, of course, and every game, every moment, I have to fight for that. It makes me really stronger."

Anchorage, Alaska: Fun Facts
The Frozen North, Land of the Midnight Sun, the Northern Frontier, the Last Frontier, Land of the Noonday Moon.
The glorious state of Alaska has many nicknames indeed.
Here are some fun facts for those who plan to visit or live in Anchorage, AK.
1) Winter is REALLY cold.
It is really cold during winter in Anchorage. The lowest Alaska temperature ever recorded is −80 °Fin Prospect Creek on January 23, 1971.
2) Icebergs are everywhere.
Portage Glacier is Anchorage's number one attraction and everyone should see it at least once in his or her lifetime. There are more than 50- yes, 50 glaciers within the city alone.
3) Be ready for a skylight show.
Be ready to see the spectacular aurora borealis during fall and winter nights plus spring at midnight. It really is a paradise for people living in Anchorage to see this natural phenomenon nearly year-round while most people around the world only dream of experiencing it once.
4) You will want to stay outdoors.
I'm not joking! People fall in love with the nature offered in Alaska. If you love the outdoors, then you will enjoy living in Alaska. You can go camping, biking, skiing, fishing, ice climbing, hiking, rock climbing and indulge in many other activities. Every day in Alaska can be equally adventurous. If you haven't got the nerve to take on extreme activities, even the mountains and large ice field views in the parks will make you want to stay out and just take in the views.
5) King Crabs and fish are always fresh.
Another perk to Anchorage life is that you will have your pick of fresh Alaskan king crab legs! And surely, you will never run out of fresh fish if you live here. Salmons here are best in the world.It's the chief export, and a lot of people here learn to fish not just as a hobby but also a way to enjoy fresh food.
6) Be ready for beautiful wildlife.
You will come across mountain goats, eagles, moose, otters, deer, bears and many animals that you wouldn't recognize at first on the road so lookout! Drivers always need to be on the lookout for these who apparently never learned to look both ways before crossing the road 🙂

Beijing - Johanna Konta crushed home hero Zhang Shuai in two sets in the China Open quarter-finals on Friday as Andy Murray and David Ferrer offered tough lessons to their younger opponents.
Buoyed by the home crowd, Zhang broke the Briton twice to take the opening four games of the match.
But at 0-4 down, Konta abruptly turned the tide in her favour winning 12 consecutive points to book her semi-final place with a 6-4, 6-0 victory.
The 14th-ranked Briton is now one win away from joining the ranks of the top 10, which would make her the first British woman to join the elite grouping since Jo Durie in 1984.
Konta next faces American Madison Keys, who ended Petra Kvitova's eight-match winning streak in an epic two-tie break victory, 6-3, 6-7 (2/7), 7-6 (7/5).
Meanwhile, Murray beat Davis Cup team-mate Kyle Edmund and Ferrer dispatched German youngster Alexander Zverev to set up a semi-final face-off.
The three-time Grand Slam champion was forced into a tense 20-point tie break in the first set by his 21-year-old compatriot, finally clinching it with a forehand passing shot.
But Edmund - who upset 18th-ranked Roberto Bautista Agut in the second round - was unable to hold his serve in the second, conceding the match 7-6 (11/9), 6-2.
"I felt like in the second set, I did start to dictate more of the points," Murray said after the match.
"More of the match was more on my terms then, whereas in the first set Kyle was dictating a lot."
Zverev, 19, was looking to cap a breakout season with a second career title in Beijing, but was unable to capitalise on his first set lead as he was overpowered by Ferrer 6-7 (4/7), 6-1, 7-5.
The German upset the Swiss world number three Stan Wawrinka to win his maiden ATP title at St. Petersburg in September, having downed number nine Tomas Berdych in the semis.
In Beijing he beat 10th-ranked Austrian Dominic Thiem in the first round, making him the first teenager to defeat three top 10 players in a row since Boris Becker in 1986.
Despite the loss, Zverev - who started the year ranked 83rd - is expected to rise to 21 when the new rankings are released Monday as he edges towards a place in the top 20 for the first time.
Keys put in an Olympic effort to exact revenge over Kvitova in their first meet since the Czech denied the American a bronze medal in Rio.
A double fault by Kvitova turned the first set in favour of Keys, but she pulled back in the second pushing it to a tie break, which she won.
There was little between the pair in the final set, but Kvitova's 32 unforced errors to Keys' 25 ultimately cost the Czech a semi-final place - and ended her eight-match winning streak.
"She made it really tough today. I'm just really happy that at the end I was able to get my serve back on track and get myself ahead in the tiebreaker," Keys told reporters after the match.
Kvitova has had a year of ups and downs since she split with her coach of seven years David Kotyza after the Australian Open in January.
She ended last year runner-up in the WTA Finals in Singapore but this season she has failed to get past the round of 16 at any of the Grand Slams, and her ranking fell to 16 - its lowest since 2011.
Keys, 21, made her top 10 debut this year after winning her second career title in Birmingham in June.
The big hitting youngster - who is often cast as a successor to 22-Grand Slam champion Serena Williams - is also chasing her first qualification for the elite WTA Finals in Singapore, which features the season's top eight players.
With her quarter-final win she moves into seventh in the Race to Singapore leaderboard, but Konta is hot on her heels.

I'm a big "follow your dreams" and "set goals for yourself" sort of person. I've always been this way. Growing up those goals were things like getting straight As, graduating near the top of my class, making first chair in band, and so on. Once I went to college, the academic goals stuck around, and then it was all about getting a teaching job.
And my dreams? Well, obviously I've always dreamed of being a published author. I sort of had this dream come true; when I finished my first graduate program, I co-wrote an article with my thesis advisor that was published in the periodical Social Studies and the Young Learner. But that's not what I'd always dreamed of. Academia is interesting, but it's not where my literary passion lies.
And I had the usual "princess" type dream of meeting a wonderful man, getting married, setting up house, and starting a family.
Happily, three of those four "goals" have come true. We're still working on that last one.
But that's not really goal-setting. That's dreaming, and sometimes dreaming big. But why can't our dreams become our goals?
Goal-setting and motivation sort of go hand in hand. If you have this wild abstract "thing" you want to accomplish, that's all well and good. And you might be raring to go. But without setting some realistic goals for your dream and figuring out a game plan to achieve those goals, you're sort of sitting in a big puddle of sticky mud.
Why am I rambling about goal-setting? Well, about three years ago, my sister introduced me to Chalene Johnson. Okay, not Chalene Johnson personally. But she made me aware of her fitness videos. This came about because I got engaged (Princess Dream #1 and 2 are go) and I wanted to look awesome in my wedding dress. Yes, a little shallow. But if that was the extent of my bridezilla moments, then go me. I've never been what you'd call "big" but even 5 pounds of weight gain on me makes a huge difference. And to be fair, I'd known for a long time that my generally sedentary lifestyle was not going to be viable within a few years. In 1999 when I graduated high school, I was 5'3″ and weighed 122 pounds. When I graduated college, I was 5'4″ (no idea where that new inch came from) and 132 pounds. I'd gained 10 pounds during college. And I could look at my family health history (high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, various cancers, obesity) and tell myself I had to get on the health and fitness horse now before I was stuck trying to play catch up.
But I hated exercise. I hated the thought of exercise. I had never exercised, not really, outside of gym class and marching band (which IS a sport, don't let anybody steer you differently). Throughout college, grad school, and my initial years working in my district as a teaching assistant, I'd dabbled in Tae Bo and yoga and a membership at the college fitness center and a YMCA membership and even a hip hop dance class. None of it stuck, because I really didn't like doing any of it. And I don't like working out in front of people.
Well, about three months after I got engaged, I discovered that a local dance studio offered adult fitness classes on Saturday mornings. My hubby-to-be, who has always been into exercise and sports, encouraged me to give it a try. It was a Turbo Kick class, and it was a little on the expensive side. But the instructor was really fun and after only four weeks I was hooked and was already finding that the legs of my pants weren't quite so tight. But I didn't really like the idea of shelling out $40 a month for four one-hour classes. So my sister introduced me to Chalene and her TurboJam videos (the home version of the Turbo Kick classes I'd been taking).
I was very dedicated. I went home from work every day and did my scheduled workouts. I only skipped if I was sick or during that one week when my shoulder was bothering me (turns out I have rotator cuff tendinitis). A month before my wedding, I was down to 128 pounds and had lost so many inches that my wedding dress had to be taken in. And then a couple weeks before my wedding, my mother had to move the fasteners on my dress in by an inch. And on my wedding day, my mom and sister had to pull the lacing as tight as it would go. And I was still hiking up my strapless dress all day long.
Well, then I settled into married life in our new home (Princess Dream #3), and gained 10 pounds in my first year of marriage. I still did workouts, just in fits and starts and I never could seem to keep it up for more than a couple months at a time. The fact is I got lazy because my goal of looking good for my wedding had been met. And I wasn't being serious about setting a new one.
You see, I thought goal-setting was about an end result. And in part, that's true. You should have a BIG GOAL that you're working toward, but there are lots of little goals along the way. And with something like health and fitness, it's about a lifestyle change.
I recently signed on to Chalene Johnson's Push Jump Start program (which goes along with her book which is coming out in a couple more weeks), which is all about setting goals and sticking to them to change your life. And you don't just set a health and fitness goal – you set a "push" goal, which is a goal for something you want to accomplish in your life.
My health and fitness goal was pretty easy to determine. I'm still gaining weight. I'm battling rotator cuff tendinitis in both shoulders. Plus I've been really holding back in my workouts due to concerns with Princess Dream #4. And frankly, I've been kind of on the sad side of things for the past four months or so. I'm frustrated that I'm still waiting to start a family with my husband, especially after a terrible disappointment. When I look in the mirror, I hate what I see as much as I hate that number on the scale. I do not like putting on my pants and discovering "muffin top." I've never been a stick, but what's looking at me from the mirror isn't me either. So my health and fitness goal is about better eating and sticking to an exercise program. I don't hate working out anymore – I hate the thought of it, until I do it, then I feel awesome and accomplished and really, really sweaty.
But what about my Push goal, the thing I want to accomplish? Well, my list of things I'd love to do with my life could go on forever. But the number one thing right now is finishing my novel and getting it published (or at least into the hands of a literary agent whose willing to fight for its publication). So that's my life goal right now.
My deadline is taking a beating, though. I'm about three and a half chapters away from "The End" but between the holidays, work, and being sick with bronchitis (yay for me, found that out on Monday) I'm having a hard time getting too many big sections done at the moment. I'm hoping to be finished in the next couple weeks so I can take a breather around the holidays. Then in January I can pick up the next step in achieving my goal – editing, polishing, and getting some very willing friends to do beta reads for me.

UPDATE: MU cancels classes over shuttle service mechanical issues
COLUMBIA - MU classes were canceled last minute on Wednesday due to mechanical issues with a private shuttle service.
MU spokesperson Christian Basi said Green Way, the shuttle contractor, notified MU around 7:30 a.m. that the company was experiencing severe mechanical issues due to the weather.
"We had no choice at that point because we knew that thousands of students would not be able to get to campus and go to classes in a safe manner," Basi said.
The university had previously said it would not change operations despite the single-digit temperatures and sub-zero wind chills forecasted.
The rest of campus operations continued as normal on Wednesday.
Green Way serves more than 75 percent of off-campus student housing complexes in Columbia, Basi said.
Some MU students, like Halle Byous, were left waiting outside in the cold after their bus, operated by Green Way Shuttles, didn't show up.
"I was kind of worried because I was worried this kind of thing could happen," Byous said.
She said she received a text from her apartment complex at 7:10 a.m. stating that busses would not be running.
"I didn't want to risk getting in my car, and having my car not work," Byous said. "I just decided not to go."
Byous said it's understandable the busses had problems.
"I know my little car doesn't like to work when it's cold out, so I'm not surprised that a huge bus wouldn't work," Byous said.

Today, I get to share a few snippets from a book I love! no spoilers!
I'm still plowing through this series, but I like what I've read so far. There are lots of cute quotes and I thought it would be fun to share!
She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.
Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. But that's all it takes. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real.
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.
"He was gorgeous, and I absolutely, no question, had to be drooling. After a quick and hopefully stealthy check – big show, I wasn't!- I found myself wonder what color his eyes were. Brown maybe. Or even hazel. Either way…wow, just wow. Deer? Headlights? Hi, I'm Ali."
― Gena Showalter, Alice in Zombieland
"Should I pull on a shirt?" he asked with hint of amusement. I WILL NOT BLUSH. "No." He'd be doing the world a favor if he never wore a shirt again, but I wasn't going to tell him that part. "You're fine."
― Gena Showalter, Alice in Zombieland
"Girl, he wants to dip you in Frosted Flakes and have you for breakfast. That's his favorite cereal, by the way." I...had no words for that."
― Gena Showalter, Alice in Zombieland
"Just so you know, you can call me anything you want—just as long as you always call me."
― Gena Showalter, Through the Zombie Glass
"You know," Cole said. "My mom once told me a boy would know he'd become a man when he stopped putting himself first. She said a girl would come along and I wouldn't be able to get her out of my mind. She said this girl would frustrate me, confuse me, and challenge me, but she would also make me do whatever was necessary to be a better man–the man she needed. With you, I want to be better. I want to be what you need. Tell me what you need."
― Gena Showalter, Through the Zombie Glass
"I'm usually a big fan of sexual tension, but this is like an X-rated kindergarten class, with two little jerks crushing on each other, both too stupid to admit it out loud."
― Gena Showalter, The Queen of Zombie Hearts
"So you owe me."
"Exactly. I pay in kisses."
"Good thing I accept that currency."
― Gena Showalter, The Queen of Zombie Hearts
"Sweet pea, you are my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye, and I don't want to go a day without you. Consider that your official invitation"
― Gena Showalter, A Mad Zombie Party

WEST COLUMBIA, South Carolina (REUTERS) - Floodwaters inundating South Carolina after unprecedented rainfall have resulted in nine deaths, more than 500 road and bridge closures and hundreds of rescues of people trapped in homes and cars by the rising water, officials said on Monday.
Governor Nikki Haley warned residents to remain on alert as rain continued to fall in some of the hardest-hit areas, including the state capital of Columbia, which saw its wettest days on record over the weekend. "This is not over," Haley said at news conference. "There's still a lot of water out there." More than 2 feet of rain have fallen in the past three days in parts of South Carolina, and moderate to heavy rain persisted on Monday in the state's saturated northeastern corner and southeastern North Carolina, the National Weather Service said.
The flooding closed schools and government offices, stranded motorists and led to dramatic rescues, including a mother and her 15-month-old child who were plucked by a US Coast Guard helicopter from a flooded home in Huger, South Carolina.
Five people drowned when floodwaters swamped their vehicles and four others died in weather-related car crashes, the state Department of Public Safety said. A state transportation department employee was killed after his work truck was overturned and swept away by rushing waters, the agency said.
The severe weather was also blamed for two deaths in North Carolina, officials said.
Nearly 1,000 people have found refuge in shelters around South Carolina, officials said, and water distribution centres were being opened after the downpours left an estimated 40,000 people without drinking water. About 26,000 were without power, officials said.
In Columbia, police and fire officials were going door to door looking for anyone who might still be trapped in houses and to test the stability of buildings damaged by the deluge.
Columbia resident Tommy Rollins, 67, said he went to bed Saturday night after watching a football game and woke up at 4 am Sunday (4 pm Singapore time Sunday) to the sound of rushing water.
"It sounded like someone was taking a shower in every room,"he said. "Within 10 minutes, water was bubbling up through the hardwood floors. We had about 30 minutes and then it was 4 feet deep."
Mr Rollins and his wife grabbed a change of clothes and some toiletries and stepped off their porch into chest-deep rushing water before being brought to safety in a neighbour's boat, he said.
Gov Haley and meteorologists said additional flooding concerns remain as rains in the Midlands and Upstate South Carolina flow downstream to the already-swamped area known as the Lowcountry.
That area includes the peninsula of Charleston, which emergency officials have reopened to allow people in and out but where more than 30 streets remained flooded on Monday.
"It's still a pretty desperate situation," National Weather Service forecaster Dave Loewenthal said. "We are going to have river flooding for weeks, if not months."

Ease Heartburn at Bedtime
The fiery feeling of heartburn isn't just uncomfortable. If you experience it regularly at night—as up to 75% of people who have frequent heartburn do—it could mess with your sleep and leave you exhausted. A National Sleep Foundation poll found that adults who have bedtime heartburn are more likely to have sleep issues such as insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and restless leg syndrome. That burning sensation that you experience with heartburn is due to stomach acid flowing back up the esophagus—the tube that brings food to the stomach from the mouth. But here's some good news: It's possible to manage the discomfort. Beat the burn and score better shuteye with these tips.
Watch What You Eat
One of the best ways to prevent heartburn before bedtime is to avoid fatty or fried foods at dinner, as well as alcohol and nicotine. Another smart idea: Have your last meal of the day at least three hours before you head to bed. Lying down too soon after eating can trigger acid to rise up from the stomach—ouch.
Change Positions
Sleeping on your right side can cause heartburn symptoms to flare. Sleeping on your left, however, may ease the discomfort, possibly because it helps to relax the lower esophageal sphincter, which is located between your stomach and esophagus. Sleeping with your upper body elevated may also help, so raise the head of your bed or use a foam wedge to keep your body slightly upright from the waist up while you sleep.
Get Comfy
Skip wearing any pajamas that are restrictive or tight to bed. Loose-fitting, comfortable pajamas help fight heartburn by taking pressure off your abdomen and lower esophageal sphincter while you rest.
Pop a the 1 last update 2020/08/09 PillPop a Pill
Antacid tablets, as well as H-2-receptor blockers, can be used to treat occasional heartburn. But if these meds don't do the trick, talk to your doctor. He or she may test you for gastroesophagael reflux disease (GERD), a more severe form of reflux that can be treated with prescription medication or surgery.
Watch Your Weight
Putting on extra pounds can place pressure on your abdomen and stomach, causing acid to reverse direction and go back up the esophagus.Talk to your doctor about what your goal weight should be, and keep a scale in your bathroom to monitor your progress.

They are as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Honestly, I used to see 1st grade teachers do these things all the time. See I only taught 1st grade math, so I made a plethora of game boards, but class books, not so much. 3rd graders weren't as interesting in it and so I moved on from my dire need to make class books to settling for individual ones (which still came out darn cute, but they just weren't the same as missed-matched laminated pages).
Luckily, now that I teach 1st and 2nd again, class books are going to be a big hit (I don't even care if they are out of style, I'm using them anyways)!!!
My latest ones went with the bucket filling and respect lessons from last week.
Normally, I see teachers place their class books in the classroom library, but very few students sift through mine anymore.
Instead, I tried placing them in the hallway on my bucket filling bulletin board.
There were two options. Either the books would just sit there and collect dust or as the boys walked past on their way to music they would pick the books up and read them.
Much to my delight, the boys actually take them off the wall to read.
I think it is super cute to see the 3rd and 4th graders interested in what the younger grades are doing, or seeing the 1st graders proud to see their book in the hallway, or even the Kindergarteners asking when I will read "that" book to them aloud.
So, bring on the class books . . . I plan on having a mass production!

Meet Mark Poulin of marmar! He draws, makes jewelry, and says things like this: "When I was a boy I had a recurring dream that I could fly. Having an etsy shop makes me feel like that again." Mark's personality pops off the page as effectively as his drawings do, so please enjoy the interview:
Your jewelry designs are born of your drawings. What inspires the characters you create?
I'm inspired by anything that tells a story, captures a moment, or steals a heart.
I traveled back in time to your first sale on Etsy: March 14, 2007. Your pictures have come a long way! Tell me what that first sale was like for you.
I remember being really excited with those first sales. Etsy buyers are so nice in that they gave me a chance and bought from my out of focus photographs! In my early years on Etsy I had my phone set up to text me every time I had a sale, this drove my friends crazy but kept me pretty happy.
Did you start with a business plan? Do you have one now?
I'm a man without a plan. Or more like it I'm a man with a new plan every week.
What advice would you offer an Etsy newbie looking for their first sale?
Have a product unique to you. We all love to shop, and we all love to support innovators.
Would you please describe your "zone." What's it like in your work space when you're drawing or creating jewelry?
I get most of my best design time or rough idea time from stolen moments where I am trapped somewhere. Airports, trade shows, craft fairs. I'm drawing a million miles a minute. I'm not trying to draw good but to get a concept down. Then there is a structured studio time draw, I usually have scraps of paper everywhere, I'm grouping, I'm redrawing, I'm editing, I'm excited and full of self doubt moment to moment. There's sad music playing making me happy. Then there is feedback time from my shop team and from my partner Mike. Then I start carving wax or sawing metal… and hope for the best.
I noticed you not only have a top-selling Etsy shop, you have a marvelous user-owned online shop, and fantastic-looking shows and festivals lined up. I imagine this all adds up to one very successful you, but which is your favorite venue?
I love having the opportunity to sell on line at Etsy. Sales on my website are great too, but Etsy is so community based it feels more fun. When I do retail shows it's a chance to see people directly react to my work. Invaluable.
Which is your most profitable venue?
My largest amount of sales comes from doing wholesale shows like New York International Gift Fair twice a year. Though selling wholesale cuts pretty dramatically into profit margins and adds a lot of headaches to the day to day. I'm not sure I would recommend it and I have come and gone from that venue over the years.
What has been the best marketing strategy for Marmar?
Nothing will ever beat word of mouth but advertising will get you pretty close!
What has been your proudest handmade moment so far?
A long time ago the Whitney museum shop (when it was storefront on the street) used a bunch of my stuff to make a valentine window display. I was visiting New York and got to see it. I loved that moment.
What are your favorite business or art resources? Are there any books or websites that have helped you along the way?
I love the blog/newsletters that Daniellexo writes for Etsy, I wish I had this resource years ago when I was starting up. It is written simple and to the point. Can't get enough. For inspiration I visit blogs like this> my love for you or this> pikaland
Finish this sentence: When I was 18, I thought …
I would be a rich and famous painter by 30. That didn't happen, but little did I know then how much I would enjoy going to work every day.
Thank you, Mark! It's been a true delight. Alright friends, go buy some marmar on Etsy! ♥ Until next time, Lisa

Some dispensers are automatic, foaming or bulk dispensers. There are powdered soap dispensers, disposable soap dispensers and antibacterial soap dispensers.

* The Blue Jays would be very happy if 1B Andy Wilkins had half the career another Tulsa, Oak. native had when he came north to Canada in 1973 (RHP Steve Rogers had a 158-152 won-loss record with a 3.17 ERA in 13 seasons). ….

2015 Canadian draft list …. Canadians in College
2016 Canadian draft list
Letters of Intent
By Andrew Hendriks
Two days after losing right-handed hurler, Kyle Drabek to a waiver claim by the Chicago White Sox, the Blue Jays have picked the pocket of their 1993 American League Championship Series counterparts, claiming, Andy Wilkins a slugging first baseman who was cut from Chicago's spring roster in order to make room for Drabek.
A year removed from hitting an International League leading 30 home runs with triple-A Charlotte, Wilkins, 26 is a former fifth round draft pick (2010) and, over parts of the past five seasons in affiliated ball, the left-handed swinging product of Tulsa, Oak has produced a respectable slash-line of .276/.349/.480 in 555 pro games in the minors.
With the power hitting Edwin Encarnacion shifting to DH in order to help prevent his back ailment from flaring up during the regular season, one of this springs dominant narratives has been a question regarding who, exactly, will man first base for the Jays in 2015.
Providing a steady glove work all spring, Justin Smoak has appeared to have staked a claim to the position. However in saying that, the 28 year-old former first rounder has managed only eight hits over 50 at bats since camp broke in lat February … albeit clubbing three home runs in the process.
Although fellow first-sacker, Daric Barton has slashed a modest .250/.341/.389 on the spring, his defense, although respectable, pales in comparison to the 6-foot-4 Smoak, and with both third baseman, Josh Donaldson and shortstop, Jose Reyes combining for 28 throwing errors in 2014, a quality glove man at first base will be an asset for the Blue Jays over the course of the upcoming campaign.
Wilkins, the veteran of 17 major-league contests, will begin the season with triple-A Buffalo, and with three option years remaining on his contract, the former Sox farmhand will provide Toronto with an interesting depth piece should injuries plague the Jays' roster once again in 2015.

Best Ways to Prevent Costly HVAC Repairs in Your Home
Your HVAC system may actually be one of the single most expensive pieces of hardware that make up your home. And yet, for all that, many people ignore their furnace or A/C systems and treat them like indestructible, perpetual motion machines that will work forever.
But, like any complex piece of technology, that's just not the case. That's why it's important for people to start thinking of their HVAC systems like they would a car or even their own bodies.
This is hardware that needs some regular care and maintenance, and if it doesn't get it, it can mean a costly repair later down the line. Fortunately, there are a few easy things you can do to make sure your environmental systems work the way they're supposed to.
Get an Annual Inspection & Tune Up
You can't just run your HVAC system all year long and not expect some wear and tear to take place, or some parts to require readjustment.
Just like an annual car tune up, an annual check-up and maintenance cycle for your HVAC system is important prolonged operational efficiency.
Just call an expert to come in and check everything over. They can do all the small maintenance that can find minor problems, then address them on the spot.
Months or years of neglect can let even small problems grow into large, threatening ones that will require a costly repair.
Keep the Outside Clear
An easy and essential bit of HVAC maintenance is inspecting the vents that your HVAC system uses outside your home: or the condenser of your A/C if you have a central air system.
All cooling and heating systems require vents to purge the air you don't want, or take in the air for processing. These vents will lead that air to the outside of your home.
If these important vent areas are blocked or no longer working properly, this will eventually lead to the damage to your HVAC system and may even put the health of residents at risk.
Always make sure vents are clear of leaves or other debris, and that clear airflow is established.
Replace Your Filter
Whether your HVAC system is just an air conditioner, or whether you have a furnace and central air in using the same ventilation system, the filter is an important part of your environmental system operation.
It traps the dirt and other contaminants to keep your air clear and safe in addition to being comfortable.
Every quarter, you should always replace the filters in your HVAC system.
However, it certainly doesn't hurt to inspect your filters every month see just how dirty they are. If they've gotten dirtier than usual, take the time to replace them early.
You can even save some time and convenience by buying filters in bulk so you don't need to run to the store every time you need one.

This is my first post to the food blog, but it dates back a week ago when I intended to begin. For Super Bowl Sunday, we had 7 people over. Our evening snacks included shrimp cocktail, Eric's bean dip, T's spinach dip, cookies, cheese and crackers, chips, and my contribution… Oreo Truffle Bombs. And that is the title of tonight's blog! I wanted to share a picture of this delightful dessert. It's a mixture of crushed oreos, cream cheese and white chocolate with dark chocolate drizzled over each ball.
I used a toothpick to dip the balls into the chocolate, however, next time I might consider not melting the chocolate and instead chop it up into fine pieces and just roll the oreo and cream cheese mixture for a crumb shell.
There is a possibility that I might try to make these in other flavors and package them to sell. It's something to toy with and think about? I think I could make a fun hobby out of it! What do you think?
Oreo Truffle Bombs
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 package Oreos
1 package white chocolate bark (or almond bark) or candy coating
1. Finely crush the Oreos in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2. Using your hands, mix in the cream cheese until fully incorporated.
3. Roll into 1″ balls and place on parchment/wax paper lined cookie sheets. Cool in fridge until firm.
4. Melt the chocolate as directed on package. Using toothpicks, dip the truffles into the chocolate and place back on wax paper. Sprinkle immediately with choice of decorative topping (optional).
5. Let dry, then refrigerate until ready to eat!

The Rock For MS and Rock Against MS Campaign - A Crusade for a Cure
Following on from the success of the SIREN Divinyls Show "Sound The Siren - Rock For MS" concert held in 2013, SIREN have taken their commitment to supporting people living with MS a step further.
As of April 8, 2014 Siren Rock For MS and Rock Against MS have both been registered as a not for profit (without DGR status) partnership headed by Donna Greene and Jamie Page.
"We are a West Australian fundraising entertainment community providing live shows, raffle and auction items to raise funds and awareness in support of Multiple Sclerosis and The MS Society of Western Australia (MSWA)," Donna said.
ROCK FOR MS is currently in the process of preparing the "Sound The Siren - Rock For MS 2" concert to be held on November 8, 2014 at The Charles Hotel and are seeking the interest of sponsors.
To get involved and for more information on the Rock For MS / Rock Against MS campaign, head to the website. www.rockforms.com.au.
Who Is Rock For MS?
The "Rock For MS" campaign began in mid 2013 as the love child of local popular Perth identity, Donna Greene who was diagnosed with MS herself as well bilateral optic neuritis. The inspiration for the show came after the passing of Australia's Queen of Rock, Chrissy Amphlett (Divinyls) who had lost her battle with MS and breast cancer at the same time as Donna's MS symptoms had begun presenting.
According to the Rock For MS website, shortly after being invited to perform a one-off show to honour Chrissy Amphlett's memory, just after her passing on April 21 2013, Donna received her MS diagnosis. Donna is living with Relapsing/Remitting MS.
As part of her recovery, with the support of a first class WA team of industry friends and professionals, "Team Siren", Donna created the "Sound The Siren – Rock For MS" campaign to not only honour the memory of Chrissy Amphlett, but also to create a music platform to encourage people living with MS to come out and enjoy some great live entertainment, while also raising funds and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis.
"Music is a wonderful tool to aid in the healing of body, mind and spirit." Donna G.
"The first show, held on November 22 2013, raised in the vicinity of $8,500 which was donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Western Australia. After a discussion with the great people at MSWA to find out where our funds would do the most good, we decided to allocate part of the funds to help with the refit of the Bunbury outreach where they required brand new gym equipment, with the remainder going to 3 additional wheelchairs – thus, everyone's 2013 contributions went towards providing Fitness and Mobility support for people living with MS in WA."
"Due to the Multiple Sclerosis that Amphlett concurrently suffered from, she reported that
she was unable to receive radiation treatment or chemotherapy as cancer treatment."

What is MS?
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, neurodegenerative condition that affects the Central Nervous System (CNS). The body's own immune system appears to attack the protective sheath of fatty protein, called myelin, which surrounds the nerves in the brain, spinal cord and the optic nerve. An attack results in inflammation and development of one or more lesions, resulting in scarring or sclerotic plaques, forming on the nerves. These lesions interfere with the nerve messages sent back and forward through the brain, and spinal cord.
Every person diagnosed with MS will experience it slightly differently, depending on the location, size and number of lesions formed, and the type of MS. For some, sensations are altered while others experience difficulty with muscle strength and movement. Lesions in the brain can affect a person's capacity to process information, and affects their emotions.
The course of MS is unpredictable. Some people are minimally affected by the disease, while some may experience more frequent relapses leading to varying levels of disability.
It is not yet known what causes multiple sclerosis, or why it affects one person and not another. As a result, people with MS are often faced with uncertainty about the future.
Multiple sclerosis is the most common degenerative neurological condition diagnosed in young adults, with over 75% of people diagnosed under the age of 40.
Find out more about MS on the mswa.org.au and www.msaustralia.org.au websites.

Ephesians 4:7-13 ~ How God Does Extreme Makeovers ~ Pastor Bill Slabaugh
Each one of us a believer in Jesus Christ is a masterpiece in the making. We are being crafted and sculpted into the masterpiece God wants each one of us to be. But God doesn't transform us into the image of Christ just to make us into a beautiful work of art to be displayed in a museum, or to put on a shelf, or placed in a vault. He shapes us into what He wants us to be for the work of service, as a tool, to the building up of the Body of Christ. The Holy Spirit gives us spiritual gifts so that we might serve God and serve one another as a tool in the hand of the Master.

The warmer months means it's time to fire up the barbecue…if you haven't already… which means the perfect opportunity to gather family and friends for a summer cookout.
But it's always best to have some non-meat alternatives, for those who want to mix it up a bit, or who prefer to have some plant-forward options. And Tofu could be the perfect addition to your summer spread. It's a super healthy plant-based protein, and a great source of calcium and manganese.
And to make life easier, take your summer soirée up a notch with our terrifically tasty and super-convenient Toss'ables. The bite-sized morsels have a subtle taste, allowing you to create a perfect complement to whatever is being cooked out on the grill. They require minimal effort in the kitchen and deliver maximum taste.
Here are three light and tantalizing sides that incorporate Toss'ables and can liven up your cookouts this summer:

Heads up! We're working hard to be accurate – but these are unusual times, so please always check before heading out.
Blato area guide
Blato enjoys a reputation as one of Korčula's most attractively rustic settlements. Here's why
Once the biggest settlement on the island (a status now enjoyed by Vela Luka), Blato was once an important agricultural centre, exporting its wine and olives throughout Central Europe. The vine-pest outbreaks of the 1920s put paid to Blato's prosperity; thousands of locals emigrated to the Americas during the inter-war years. Nowadays, it's a prosperous if rather sleepy-looking rural town, with a single, graceful tree-lined avenue running through the centre. Set amid the older parts of town just south of the main street, Blato's parish church overlooks a lovely Renaissance loggia. Unusually, Blato's streets have numbers instead of names.
Where to go in Blato...
Ethnographic Collection
Many of us have the odd family heirloom or domestic antique displayed at home, but few have amassed such an impressive collection as the Barilo family, owners and curators of this absorbing private museum. The Barilos have scoured the island to amass a riveting record of Korčulan life over the past hundred years or so – there's a living room stuffed with family photographs and reproduction prints, a pre-modern kitchen with traditional stove and homely textiles, and a bedroom decked out with examples of the kind of frilly nightgowns that people don't wear that often anymore At the end of the visit, you'll be offered local liqueurs in the parlour.
Mala Kapja
Just off the main road from Blato to Korčula Town (the turn-off is signed by a picture of a fat chef in a stripy vest), Mala Kapja is a working farm that raises most of the meat that it serves up in the kitchen. Expertly grilled or baked under a peka, the freshest of flesh is served up on an open terrace looking out towards Blato's fertile strip of farmland.

Industry workshop: Dispatch Service Enhancements - 30 Nov 2018
Transpower is holding an industry workshop for the Dispatch Service Enhancements project.
The Dispatch Service Enhancements project will introduce alternate communications protocols (ICCP and web services) for dispatch. From mid-2019, these new communication protocols will remove the requirement for participants to use the current proprietary GENCO system to receive and acknowledge dispatch instructions.
This workshop will allow the project team to provide a progress update and share the detailed design for these enhancements. The project team will also describe the operation of these new communications protocols and the process for transitioning to them. This workshop is intended to provide you with an understanding of the impact of these changes on your organisation.
The workshop will be hosted on Friday, 30 November 2018, from 1 to 4pm at the Transpower offices in Wellington and via Skype. Please register your interest before Tuesday 30 October 2018 to the Project Manager at email@example.com.
For further information on the project, please visit the Transpower website.

Getting to Know You: Part Two
Early in the afternoon Grace and Olivia meet at the Captains Galley for lunch. As they eat, Grace shares the news about Maryellen and John's engagement. Grace is worried they are moving to fast and that Maryellen might get hurt. When the conversation turns to Grace's own wedding, Olivia urges Grace to ignore the differences between she and Cliff and see that their differences are what make them a good couple. Just as Grace nods her head in agreement, Paul drops by their table. Olivia tells Paul that she saw Anthony, and Paul confirms the news that he will be leaving Cedar Cove. Olivia wants to know why and feels Paul at least owes her an explanation. Paul won't reveal his reasons, but he does invite her to go for a run later. She accepts, but she's still intent on knowing why he is leaving Cedar Cove.
At Saget Development, Buck and Alex discuss the big Hampton's development deal. As they talk, Warren walks into the office and announces that he will accept Buck's offer to share signatory power with Alex. Thinking this will expedite Buck's departure, Warren immediately asks when Buck will be leaving town. Buck responds, telling Warren then he's not going anywhere and is instead sending his personal business partner, Alex. Warren is silenced in disbelief.
Back at Olivia's house, Will sits outside enjoying his breakfast. Olivia shares the news that the couple whose car he hit has decided to drop the request for damages. When Olivia notified them that she didn't want to settle the pair quickly dropped the charges. This turn of events confirms to Will that they were lying and Olivia now finally sees that. She apologizes to Will for not believing him and, for his part, he's just grateful they can move on from the issue.

I've never been a fan of the New Year's resolution. Yet, there is something about the energy of a new year that begs for change. So without making a resolution, what does one do?
You make a goal. Merriam-Webster defines a goal as "the end toward which effort is directed." Note the word "effort" in that definition. That means it takes work, action. There is also the aspects of intention and integrity or alignment, but that's for another blog post. This one is to give you some action steps to get to and stick with your goal.
Even Evernote jumped on the goal setting band-wagon this year with the #EverBetterChallenge. If you've been with me for a while, you'll know that I love tools such as Evernote. So after checking out their challenge, I took from it some ideas to work into my schedule. After all, it's hard to keep step with anything new for long if it so far outside of our norm of operations. Micro-changes is the term I use with my coaching clients. It's using things you already use or do as the trigger for a small, new action. That way we have a better chance of sticking with the change.
What I incorporated from the #EverBetterChallenge was the daily check box. Well, I already used a daily checkbox in Evernote as my calendar/to-do list, so it was simple to just add these new intended actions to my daily list.
So what am I working on? Being more consistent with my cardio and meditation and tackling a few tasks that I've been putting off. I'm walking my proverbial 10,000 miles, one step/action/day at a time. My checkboxes are shown below. The highlighted ones are what I've added to my daily lists.
If you're ready for some change, here are some steps to help you determine which micro changes to take action on.
1. Free write all your goals, big and small.
2. Sort them into what are long term goals (more than six months) and shorter-term goals (less than six months).
3. Choose what goals you are going to work on. I don't recommend taking on the entire list, especially if you've been a resolutions quitter before. #nojudgement
4. Choose and write actionable steps for the shorter goals list. These are the micro-changes you will incorporate. 4a. Get specific. Name the what, where, when and how. 4b. Then have a backup plan. An example from my list is to do 10 minutes on my rebounder every morning before breakfast. Some mornings are not so straight forward, so my back up is to do it as soon as I get back home. The best part is being able to check it off my list for the day.
You may notice I didn't put "why" in the list above, but it is very much worth taking time to consider. What is your motivation for that goal? It's okay if it's something short term like losing 5lbs to fit into a dress for an occasion, but keep digging for something deeper. You'll then have a bigger reason, something pulling you to go further and stick with it for longer.
Do check out the #EverBetterGroup on Facebook or google the #EverBetterChallenge. And if you prefer to walk this journey solo, I'd like to offer you the perfect non-human companion, the #EnjoyingBeing Goal Journal. It will walk you through determining your goals and help you stay on track daily.
Also, I hope you'll include a goal for your health. After all, not much else matters when our body doesn't feel good.
Wishing you much success for 2019!
❤ Roanne

Delta Car Show: A Utah West Desert Tradition
Old traditions die hard. Now this can be a blessing or a curse depending on a person's interpretation. In this case a blessing it is as the Delta Car Show has been a Millard County tradition as well as a personal tradition for this individual scrawling these words for many years now.
Its origins began over thirty years ago when local car enthusiasts began holding a car show in Delta City Park with many returning year after year to see the vehicles on display and catch up with friends. Organizers during that time have changed as people lose interest, move, retire, or simply leave our mortal coil. But the current organizers have kept this event going now for the last decade. In fact this year they celebrated their tenth anniversary of the show under their care which made things more celebratory.
Things kicked off on Friday afternoon at the park with pre-registration as well as several who traveled had their cars on display; Soaking up the pre-fall sun and some shade that the city park's abundant trees provided. From there a cruise to the care center in Delta provided the opportunity for those who couldn't nor can't make it to the park to see some of the vehicles that would be at the following day's show and shine. In fact some residents got to pick a few vehicles that they liked and awards were handed out to those that were personally chosen by them.
Saturday began with the annual show and shine back at the city park. One hundred plus vehicles of all sorts were on display. Muscle cars, customs, trucks, restored originals and so on. Events included a pickle eating contest for kids and adults as well as socializing of car owners and those who came out from Delta and surrounding towns to see the cars. Tributes and show awards concluded the day time activities.
Those that stuck around on Saturday night were treated to a street dance and karaoke fest; A tradition that goes back many years to the early days of the car show. Many participants and locals have enjoyed this event over the year as I have also; An exclamation point on all things happening over the course of a Friday and Saturday in September on a bit of the western side of Utah's Millard County.
Aside from a couple small local shows and a splattering of cruise nights throughout the end of October the 2018 car show season is nearly over.Holiday's with family and the winter gatherings for follow rodders and cruisers over coffee, breakfast and lunch are in the offing. Not to mention those late nights and cold days in the garage doing upgrades and the like for the forthcoming season. It seems a long way off now but will soon be here before you know it.
I hope to see those I see out at what few events are left. Of course providing that Mother Nature doesn't let Old Man Winter into town early as to say the seasonal shift this year was rather abrupt! We need the rain but hold off just a few more weeks please.
Until then…..
See you out and about and keep the rubber side down.
It's not everyday you see a Henry J at a car show! This 1951 out of Springville, UT features a Chevy 350/TH350 engine/trans combo, Fat Man Fabrications front end and a 9" Ford rear
Many street rods make the pilgrimage to Delta each year such as this 1940 Ford. A clean and beautiful ride in every sense of the word.
