How to choose the best cordless drill? I've got the answer! – The best power tools on the web!
A cordless drill is an absolute staple to complete almost all DIY jobs. Whatever you will be doing, you will need to be drilling in screws. Depending on how complex the job is, you may need a heavy duty bit of kit, or a totally beginner, basics cordless drill. Regardless of what you’re looking for, this article will provide a comprehensive review of all types and price points of drills.
There is no doubt, that when drilling you need to be mobile. Whether you’re getting into small gaps, going up ladders or in a general sticky spot in general. The last thing you need is wire following you around everywhere. It can be dangerous, easy to damage and most importantly – annoying! The benefits of having a drill that you can simply just move around freely and place anywhere you want will save you copious amounts of time and effort.
Depending on your level of expertise in the DIY field, you may or may not be aware of the different types of drills out there. The last thing you want to do is go out and get bamboozled by someone at your local hardware store and end up coming out with something you don’t need. So below I will break down a few types of drills for you.
Drill Driver – If you are looking for a drill which does one job and one job only, then this is the type of drill you should be looking for. It’s the most common type of drill and is the perfect drill for beginners, those looking for a drill for basic DIY, and a great all around multi-purpose drill for everyone. In this category you can find a plethora of choices, starting with very cheap up to very very high end and expensive. Later on the in the article I will lay out my favourite choices at each price point and then you can decide which one would fit best for you!
Impact Driver – Often confused with bog standard drill driver, the impact driver are specifically designed to drive in screws – not to drill holes into objects. An easier way to tell the difference between the two is their size. Often, impact driver cordless drills will be a lot more compact than regular drills. They pack a lot of extra power than a regular drill and therefore should not be considered when undertaking a more precision orientated DIY job. There have their time and place and would not do the average Joe anything more than a regular drill driver would for a few jobs.
Combi Drill – More of a specialized tool, these cordless drills are more suited to drill into materials which a normal drill wouldn’t stand a chance. Although they will be able to handle the easy and basic jobs a regular drill would, I would only recommend purchasing one if you want to drill into metal, concretem, bricks or any other hard material. They’ll also set you back a bit more in terms of price.
The Black and Decker LDX Lithium Ion Drill/Driver (UK link) is the best cordless drill you can get in this price range. For $49 or £31 , depending on which amazon you are buying from, you are getting an insanely good drill for the price point.
One of the main selling points of this tool is undoubtedly it’s price, combined with the well established Black and Decker name and a compact size, it’s sure to make a welcome addition to any toolkit. It’s 650rpm is more than enough to get the majority of DIY jobs done. And being so light and portable it means it can be taken around easily and used by ALL people.
Final thoughts: I think this drill is well suited to the once-in-a-while DIY’er. I would not recommend this tool for someone who makes their living with drill in hand, it doesn’t seem like it would be suited to big jobs and constant use of many weeks and months. Anyone would get on well with the drill and for it’s price, shouldn’t be too costly and investment for the average Joe.
This Bosch cordless drill package is a little pricier than the Black and decker one earlier, but with good reason. Just in terms of what you are getting – without getting into specs – you get an additional battery and a carry case. An extra battery can be worth its weight in gold (If you remember to charge it).
At 1300 RPM it’s doubling the Black and deckers power. Only weighing 3lb too, it’s essentially packing a much bigger punch without compromising on it’s size. The 2 speed transmission allows for both heavy duty projects and quick fix projects to be completed with ease. The LED light that comes attached can be a lifesaver it having to drill small spaces, areas without electricity, or even in an emergency.
A brilliant drill for the price point. It’s an investment that will see you good for a few years and will be able to tackle most jobs you will attempt.
The Milwaukee drill set has been raising a lot of eyebrows recently. As far as cordless drills go, this could be one of the best you could pick up online. Amazing RPM, comfortable grip that you could use all day and an amazing battery life!
The power and quality with this drill and incomparable in this price point. You will not be let down or even need another drill for many years to come, whether it be for home DIY work or professional work. This Milwuakee drill set will keep you a happy customer.
What can I say about this cordless drill. It has an incredible amount of torque and speed. 20v battery that will keep you drilling for hours. Lightweight and durable steel construction. And to top it off an LED light for practicality. With a 14 piece drill bit set, battery, charger and carry case. At this price point, you cannot beat this package on price. It provides absolutely everything you would ever need to use your cordless drill. It will get you through any DIY project with ease and last for year. Highly recommended.
The DCD771C2 20V offers solid and reliable performance if you’re going to use it within the confines of your house. It’s lightweight, compact and has a powerful configuration that makes using this drill a comfortable and enjoyable affair.
There are MANY cordless drills out there and finding the best one can be daunting. I hope you took onboard some of the things I had to say. As an average drill users, I cannot provide the most indepth look into drills, but I certainly know my way around them and can pick out a good one when I see one.

Swimming pools are very interesting places to visit when you need to entertain yourself because you can have the perfect experience especially with your loved ones. Swimming pools are quite expensive to build in your home and can be a bit risky, and so they need to be protected, but since you are a fan of swimming, you should not mind about spending highly to ensure you build it at home. When you incur this huge amount of money, you should be ready to spend more to ensure that you give the pool better attention so that all the money you spent does not go to waste. You can even hire a company that specializes in the inspection and maintenance of the pool so that you can ensure continuity of operations such that it will suit your swimming. Here are the various aspects of having in mind before finding the best pool maintenance service provider to approach for the particular activity in hand.
To begin with, you should choose the pool maintenance company that has enough exposure to doing the job such that you will enjoy some perfect services. The pool maintenance job is not simple, but since the company has already done it for some time now, they can evaluate the situation and ensure that it gets corrected within the stipulated time zone. This is very important because this maintenance work will ensure that you enjoy some quality time while using the pool as everything seems alright. You are supposed to hire the exposed firms because they will deliver in perfect proportions and you will enjoy the experience later, but you will spend a lot in the process. To remark the understanding about pool maintenance, view the link https://palmbeachpooldoctorinc.com/.
it would be wise if you choose a pool maintenance firm that has been established through the consent of the government as you will have an opportunity to enjoy legal services. For a firm to be permitted to offer these services, the government must have ascertained that they qualify and some documents should be issued as a proof of registration. It is important to study the documents attentively because you will manage to establish the legality of the pool maintenance company.
You should purpose to find a company with a liability insurance cover, and so the workers are protected during the operations. As the pool owner, you should have the cover that acts comprehensively. Examine the knowledge that we shared about pool inspection company Boca Raton.
It is wise to choose the firm that demands an affordable sum of money for the services they offer. The moment you land some good company services, you should break the bank to hire them since they are not easily available.

Futuristic Architecture swept up in an age of digitization and computing.
Architecture has been deeply affected in the past decade by what some critics are calling “The Third Industrial Revolution.” With questions of craft and ethics being heavily present in the current architectural discourse, projects taking advantage of these new technologies are often criticized for their frivolous or indulgent nature. On the other hand, there has been an emergence of work that exemplifies the most optimistic of this “Third Industrial Revolution” – an architecture that appropriates new technology and computation for the collective good of our cities and people.
We’ve collected 7 of these projects, ranging from exemplars of engineering to craft and artistry; projects that 80 years after Le Corbusier’s modernist handbook hint at a further horizon – towards a newer architecture.
The winner of MoMA PS1’s annual Young Architects’ Program contest, Hy-Fi by The Living is a structure built from bricks of fungus. Though the technology for the bricks had been in use previously at smaller scales, such as in product packaging by by Ecovative, The Living saw the potential for applications in architecture and with the help of engineers at Arup, produced the bricks for this installation. The form was generated using a parametric software to minimize materials for maximum structural integrity as well.
Testing the limits of form finding in parametric design and digital fabrication, the Arabesque Wall is a 3-meter-tall ornamented wall with over 200 million individual surfaces. Devised through algorithmic design and 3D-printed, the project demonstrates the extreme capabilities of computational design, creating a piece that – though not necessarily functional – maintains a quality and level of detail that exceeds human craftsmanship. Although a highly experimental project on its own, the Arabesque Wall seems to exemplify the growing trend of high customization.

Mauna Loa, literally long mountain, is the most massive mountain in the world, and the world’s largest volcano. It’s actually difficult to locate on the island because it’s just so big that it looks more like a low hill. A few hundred feet below its neighbor Mauna Kea, this mountain has an entirely different character. It’s also a much wilder mountain with less of a safety net if things go wrong. There are two ways to climb to the summit of Mauna Loa. The one described here requires no permits, but is a difficult day hike. The other begins inside Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park and requires a 30+ mile slog that begins in tropical rainforest. This route requires at least 3-5 days. Contact the National Park for a permit and all the info you’ll need for this serious backpack. The route described here begins at the Mauna Loa Observatory, a premier atmospheric research facility that has been continuously monitoring and collecting data related to atmospheric change since the 1950's. The undisturbed air, remote location, and minimal influences of vegetation and human activity at MLO are ideal for monitoring constituents in the atmosphere that can cause climate change. You’ll be parking in a lot that’s offset from the climate monitoring gear. While it’s a very, very good idea to hang out here to adjust to the altitude before hiking, do not idle your vehicle. The fumes from your vehicle could interfere with the precise instruments of the observatory. This trail is gradual and easy from a technical perspective, but can be quite tough on the body. Much of the hiking is on loose lava fields, and if you hike all the way to the summit, you’ll surely feel the accumulated mileage of the day on your joints due to slogging on the impossibly hard lava. Plan for a nice day in the ocean after this one.
Trailhead: from either side of the island, take the Saddle Road, Hwy. 200, to the Mauna Loa Observatory Road, between the 27 and 28 mile markers on the Saddle Road. The road is well-marked. Follow this sometimes one-lane road for 17.5 miles to the parking area for hikers. The road is rough in many areas, but can be carefully negotiated by a passenger car. There is a white, squiggly line that marks the “center” of the road nearly the entire way that was painted by climate scientists to help when driving in the fog. It’s very funny. You might consider stopping periodically along this road to stave off the effects of AMS. If you keep your eye out, there are several appropriate places to pull your car off the road as you ascend. The trailhead elevation is 11,030 feet. There are no services of any kind including restrooms. Plan accordingly to Leave No Trace.
Gear: You’ll need winter gear, sturdy boots, plenty of water, and extra food. This is a big, wild mountain. Treat it as such.
Hike: This hike begins where the Observatory road ends. Follow the two-track, extremely rough 4WD road with small ʻaʻā lava that is like scree. Follow this road for 1/2 mile until you spot the sign for the Mauna Loa Observatory Trail. The intersection is well-marked, and the trail will begin on your left. The “trail” is mostly a series of cairns, or ahu, leading through alternating fields of ʻaʻā and pāhoehoe lava. Most of the cairns are quite large, intended to aid navigation in fog. It’s usually a good idea to spot the next cairn before leaving the last, but it’s an even better idea to use your map and compass.
The steepest portion of this hike is the beginning. It’s almost 4 miles to Moku’āweoweo, the summit caldera (but not the actual summit). After a mile, you will reach large, broken lava tube marked by two extremely large cairns. This short, collapsed tube is worth a quick stop. After 1.5 miles from leaving the 4WD road, you will reach the signed border of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. This area is a mishmash of old roads and trails, some possibly hundreds of years old. The trail is relatively well-marked throughout, especially once within the Park, but it’s a very good idea to check your progress with map and compass.
Just before you reach the summit rim, you will intersect the Mauna Loa Trail, which is the trail mentioned in the overview and which begins within the Park. Take care not to mistake this trail for your trail. Shortly after this intersection, find a whimsically-placed pit toilet over a large lava crack with perhaps the best view from the throne in the world.
Within less than a tenth of a mile, find another intersection, where left goes toward the Mauna Loa Summit Cabin, part of the permitted hike from within the park mentioned in the overview. Right takes you along the Summit Trail, where it’s 2.23 miles to the actual summit. Look sharp in this area for a nice, deep open-ceiling shelter from the elements, and a wonderful place for lunch on a nice day or to hang on for dear life in an emergency.
The 2 miles to the summit takes you over lots of unforgiving ʻaʻā lava fields, and the trail is maddeningly gradual with few views of the summit crater. Suddenly, you find yourself nearer to Moku’āweoweo, and you realize how much you’ve actually climbed from when you first reached the edge of the crater. The summit is marked by a large cairn. The view is absolutely staggering. Moku’āweoweo is too large for photos, too large for words. The immensity will leave you breathless. The large, colorful cone is from 1940, although some of the lava is from as recently as 1975.

After spending almost 10 months of the year in school, the last thing my kids want to do is spend their summer learning. Summer can be a challenging time to keep the kids educationally engaged. With plenty of opportunities for outdoor and physical fun and the constant distractions of electronics, summer, at least in the eyes of my kids, isn't always conducive to learning.
I've discovered that finding the right venues and opportunities to combine fun and learning is the key. To subtly incorporate the learning with the fun is my ultimate goal, and there's one place that's the ideal environment for achieving this goal: Liberty Science Center.
Although we visit LSC several times per year, our favorite time of the year to visit is during the summer when the little brains are in need of a good challenge and workout.
On Sunday, we were invited to visit LSC to enjoy the exhibits and experience the wonder of the newest exhibit Beyond Rubik's Cube. The iconic toy is celebrating it's 40th anniversary, and Liberty Science Center offers its visitors interactive and digital challenges in solving this mesmerizing puzzle.
Before entering the exhibit, visitors are greeted by a 26-foot tall Groovik's Cube that hangs in the atrium of LSC. Visible for 3 floors of the museum, this web-enabled exhibit is playable from anywhere in the world.
We entered Beyond The Rubik's Cube, and I was immediately transported back to the early 80s when I would spend hours trying to complete the puzzle. I immediately headed to the Solve Bar where guests can get hands-on and try their hand at solving the elusive puzzle. There are also interactive exhibits where you can attempt to solve it via the help of Google technology. A "tutor" guides you in your interactive experience and suggests moves while you solve the puzzle on a tablet.
Give up? Well, you are in luck. There's hope for solving your cube at Robot Race. A speed-cubing robot solves any scrambled cube that is handed to it. My girls had to pull me away from this to move on to other areas.
After spending our fair share of time in Beyond The Rubik's Cube, it was time to move on. One of our favorite exhibits at LSC is Infection Connection, a look at how various types of infections are spread and treated.
The Contagion Station is like a giant sneeze which covers you in pseudo airborne germs.
This interactive station allows you to treat bacteria with antibiotics. Sometimes the strains of bacteria are greater and stronger than others, and thus, more antibiotics are needed. This was a great tool for showing my daughters how effective antibiotics are at treating some of the common infections they get.
Our next stop was the Communication exhibit. This exhibit focuses on means of communication, primarily written forms. In addition to learning the origins of communication, you can learn how to read the Braille alphabet, see the early writing instruments before a pencil and pen were invented, and try your hand at a little street graffiti.
If you plan a trip to LSC, be sure to inquire about the shows in the J.D. Williams Science Theater. On a previous visit, the show featured a mathematician who could solve any problem within seconds. He could even tell you that day of the week you were born on based on your birthday. Yeah, crazy. On Sunday's visit, the show was all about the origins of electricity. During the Tesla Lightning Show, we saw how electricity is conducted. This was a really cool show and a real delight for the senses. Here's a bolt of lightning being conducted in front of our eyes.
One of my favorite parts of LSC is the IMAX theater. We always set aside some time to see an IMAX movie during our visits to Liberty Science Center! On this visit, we saw "Island of Lemurs: Madagascar". Get your tickets early at the box office. We wanted to see the "Galapagos 3D: Nature's Wonderland", but it was sold out.
And lastly, our visit was made complete with a photo with Clifford The Big Red Dog.
If you've got little ones, you don't want to miss the Adventures with Clifford The Big Red Dog exhibit. It's an incredibly colorful and highly interactive experience (almost like a playground) where you can play with Clifford and his favorite friends.
Doesn't all this talk about science, technology, and fun make you want to plan a trip to Liberty Science Center?
One lucky Pieces of a Mom winner will win a 4-pack of tickets to the Liberty Science Center. The tickets include complimentary admission to LSC for up to 4 adults or children during normal operating hours. Tickets do not include parking, or any special programming or IMAX movies. Tickets expire on January 31, 2015.
Disclosure: I received complimentary admission to LSC for me and my family and a 4-pack of tickets to use on a return visit. I was not required to or compensated to write this post. All opinion are my own.

I have been thinking the last couple days about this. It is something I forget about in all of the meltdowns, therapies and delays. M is also gifted.
She is not gifted in the way that K is, or even in the way that A is, but in her own awesome way. When she was tested by the Neuropsychologist, one of the tests that they did was an IQ test, and she tested just in the gifted category. This was at age 4, well before she even started to read, so he said it may be a little bit higher if we test her again in a year or so. Gifted, however, means so many things and expresses is so many different ways. So what does it mean for M?
It means that she is very visual. M sees patterns everywhere, in everything. Things I would never think to look for, but she LOVES patterns. At the beginning of this year they started to learn about A/B patterns (ie blue, red, blue, red…) M immediately grasped the concept and took off running with it, creating and talking about A/B/C/D/E/F/G or AAA/BB/CCC patterns all of the time. She can also do things quickly in her head that she can not do on paper. Since her hands and eyes do not work properly, she does math and spelling in her head. She was spelling words well before she could read. While she was unable to recognize a word on paper, if you asked her how to spell a word (the name of anyone she loves, cat, salad…) she could spell it for you. Her biggest strength is definitely math.
Next year in Kindergarten she will learn some basic addition and subtraction. M can already add and subtract double digit numbers in her head. AND she can multiply by 0, 1 and 2. All of this she can do with no help…she can even add a series of numbers and do story problems. This is where I am afraid she is going to become frustrated…while she can do all of this in her head, she can not write one bit of it. She can write her letters somewhat but a math problem on paper makes no sense to her. I don’t think the numbers make any sense because in her head she is seeing 5 of something and adding 4 of something to that to get 9 of something. Numbers are not concrete, they are vague representations. I actually heard Temple Grandin (my hero!!) speak about this when she was talking about different kinds of thinkers and learners at an autism conference I attended last spring. She is going to have to learn to train her brain to associate numbers with the actual number of something she sees in her head. Same with money; a dollar will mean nothing to her, she will have to associate it with something she knows that costs a dollar to understand its value.
All of this aside, her mind is amazing. She is doing so much more than her peers, or even those a grade above her. It will be difficult but important to keep her challenged in math and to not become frustrated and start to dislike it because of the challenge of putting it on paper. Fortunately K has been instrumental in teaching M math (she is the one teaching M multiplication) and hopefully she will continue to be able to help her. K also loves math and her brain also does math in a different and fascinating way. Math is certainly my weak point and I am useless by the time they get to decimals and fractions, so I will need all of the help keeping her challenged in math I can get!
Never let someone’s difficulties make you think they are not brilliant. A delay in one area (or even several areas) does not mean that a person is not intelligent, or even gifted. It is important that we see the whole of every person, each different and complicated thing that makes them who they are, and nurture each part of them. 2e (twice exceptional) children are so amazing, and we can not neglect to challenge them and help them build their gifts in the midst of helping them with their difficulties.
When your child has special needs, there are…lower expectations. M’s therapists, teachers and I have not expected that she would do some things as early as her peers, or that she would do other things at all. I was told by her OT last year that they could not help her any more with her fine motor skills and that she would likely need AT (assistive technology) for writing. That she may even need a full time aide due to her various issues. We haven’t expected her to ride a 2 wheel bike, tie her shoes or completely dress herself (buttons, snaps etc) any time soon if at all. We figured it would be a while yet before she could read, or write anything other than her name (which is difficult to read due to backward & misshapen letters).
We haven’t pushed M the way we do K and A. Maybe pushed isn’t the right word…we just haven’t asked her to work as hard or as advanced, because we know what A and K are capable of (K was reading by the time she turned 3, A is almost there with some sight words at 3 1/2). M would not do well at all with pressure or high expectations due to her already overwhelming anxiety and need for sameness. A and K thrive on new and challenging experiences.
Yet despite everything, the hurdles, the lower expectations and more lax learning schedule at home and at school, M is all of a sudden thriving. It just had to be on HER time, because she was ready to try.
This weekend we introduced the idea of giving M the next size taller bicycle, with no training wheels. Last year M (at 4 1/2, 5 years old) finally was able to pedal a bike. Even with the training wheels she often had a lot of difficulty and became easily frustrated, but when we got the bike out this year she was riding great! Unfortunately she balked at the idea of a different bike and it caused a meltdown. Later at a friend’s house she really wanted to ride and the bike available did not have training wheels. Well, this determined little girl took right off on that 2 wheel bike without hesitation! She still needs practice to ride well/for long on her own 2 wheel bike but she is trying and succeeding for short intervals and it is amazing!
Here is a video of M on her bike (A running along behind).
For the longest time M disliked any books at all and did not like being read to, could not pay attention or recall any information about a story. I think a combination of being in school, her medication and our repeated efforts to find books she likes and to read to her and around her (we are all avid readers) helped finally change that. Since late this fall, early winter she has let me read to her every night, at least. When she was comfortable with reading, and different types of books (she initially could only handle board books) I decided it was time to see if I could teach her to read. This started just a week or so ago, and I used the Biscuit books, teaching her one word at a time, the same way I taught my oldest daughter to read. She caught on to the first word pretty quickly and showed she was ready to learn. The next day I moved to the second word and started to introduce a 3rd word at the end of the story. The third day she took off, reading better than 1/3 of the words herself! The last 2 days I have had her read different Biscuit books, one she had never seen before, and she could still read many of the words. She even sounded some out which I never ever thought I would see her do, since she has had a very hard time with written words and sounds. This is the girl who just 6 months ago literally had a fear of reading & said she never wanted to learn to read!
Maybe you’ve heard…or maybe you haven’t. Being immersed in the Autism and Special Needs community I am not always sure how much is contained to Us and how much is wider knowledge. There was a bit of press concerning the (false) suspicions that the man who was responsible for killing school children and educators in Connecticut had Autism (more specifically Asperger’s Syndrome) and that such a diagnosis could be the cause of his ability to commit such a crime. There has been a beautiful response by the Autism community of people posting photos of themselves & loved ones who have been diagnosed with Autism and a little bit about them, saying “THIS is Autism”.
First of all I feel the need to say again, Autism & Aspergers absolutely do not make a person more likely to commit a crime, in fact people with Autism and all Special Needs are more likely to be the victims of violence. Also, people with Autism/Aspergers are commonly very concerned with following rules & the law and have other similar symptoms that make them less likely to commit any crime than the general population.
My daughter Margaret is 5 years old. She loves fire trucks (especially ladder trucks) and has wanted to be a firefighter her entire life. She loves the Beatles and especially Taylor Swift. She sees the world in patterns and is gifted with numbers. She can memorize how to spell words but can not read (yet, we are working hard on it). She loves her sisters and her cats. She has Sensory Processing Disorder, Dyspraxia, delayed fine motor & occular motor abilities, Anxiety Disorder and borderline OCD. When she is off routine she becomes clumsy and her speech becomes very difficult to understand. She walked early but never crawled, spoke on time but never babbled, smiled on time but didn’t laugh until after a year. She never liked to be touched. She loves fruit & vegetables and the playground but does not like to go to school. She is an amazing soccer player because of her single minded concentration & a great dancer because of her ability to memorize the pattern of the routine quickly. She can also flip herself into a no-handed somersault!
Life is not all roses. She IS on mood stabilizing medication for her rigidity and sensory problems, which along with her anxiety started to produce long, frequent, violent meltdowns. They have helped immensely to help her with self control and also help her verbalize 100% more than before. In her words “when I take the medicine I can think, and I couldn’t think about anything before”. She does still have a lot of anxiety and prefers to be alone often…but she will also show physical and verbal affection, which she could not do before.
Margaret is beautiful. She is a miracle. She works hard for what we take for granted (after a year of occupational therapy she was finally able to usually mostly dress herself at age 5). She would never intentionally hurt someone. Some people believe those with Autism do not have empathy. Margaret has an abundance of empathy. Even though it is difficult for her to read nonverbal cues & understand another person’s view as being different from her own, she is always worried about the well being of others. We have to shield her more even than our other children from media …if she knew anything about what happened that day in CT I’m afraid her heart would break from pain & worry for those families, and it might take a long time to bring her from that terrible place of pain, worry & sorrow. She can’t even watch a movie about a dog who loses his family & finds them again…she cries the whole time they are apart because she feels bad for the fictional pup.
So this is the face of Autism. A beautiful, sensitive little girl whose family loves her more than anything in the world. There is nothing wrong with her; she is not broken…she is simply different. Beautifully, wonderfully, perfectly made by God to be exactly who she is…and I couldn’t be more happy or proud.
Today I am thankful for my job. I am so blessed to get paid (though admittedly not much) to do what I love. I work at a daycare in a Christian school with infants & toddlers, and I love every minute of it.
Most of my adulthood was spent working in the insurance and finance fields. The first “real” job I was able to get was at an insurance company, and if you want to increase your salary, well, once you have experience in a field you’re pretty much stuck there. After my third child was born my wonderful bosses let me work a 4 day week, but I was still commuting at least half an hour each way, making my days with daycare drop off and pick ups a good 11 hours without seeing my girls. I also grew quite disillusioned with my work. I then worked for a “higher end” insurance/investment company, and I was tired of trying to care about helping rich people make more money. I was also unhappy with my work situation where I was suddenly working for 3 people, one of whom was demeaning, dishonest, verbally abusive and really a pretty scary person to work for.
Through a somewhat funny coincidence I discovered that I could in fact work in a childcare and was invitied to apply, interview, and hang out at a daycare my oldest daughter had attended during preK-3rd grade to see if I thought it would be a good fit. After the first visit I was hooked…I loved the kids already & felt like I knew this is what I was meant to do, what God made me to do. I am so glad I found this job, it is a dream come true to work part time (I get to drop my girls off-the older 2 go to 2 different schools, Amelia goes to preK where I work-and pick them up every day), work with amazing kids who I love very almost like my own, and potentially make a real difference in their lives. I am so thankful for my job, every day!
Today I am thankful for the team of people who have helped M progress to where she is today. In this picture, taken yesterday, she had just spontaneously climbed into my lap to cuddle! This has not happened at all until very recently. She also used to freak out about having her picture taken…now she likes it! This morning we stopped at Starbucks on the way to a play date with her best friend. On the way out a gentleman held the door open for us, and I thanked him. Then as she passed him, M looked at him and said “thank you”. That was huge! Certainly more than I could have expected or asked for.
M absolutely still has struggles. Sounds bother her a lot and she has recently started flicking her hands in front of her face (a new stim) when she is overwhelmed, especially when A is crying for any reason. Her drawing and writing are considerably behind what is developmentally appropriate; she still can not even trace shapes. But thanks to her OT, her dyspraxia is far less severe…she can dress herself for the most part, ride a bike with little help, and actually play with toys and use imagination (though she still prefers sorting to actual playing). Thanks to her psychologist and psychiatrist we have seen drastic improvements in her behavior and sensory problems, and even to some extent with socialization. Her daycare teachers & director from birth to 5 provided her a safe place to develop and be loved for who she was. Her teacher, parapro & dean at her school this year have been amazing with her. Though we went through 3 parapros in as many weeks, the end result couldn’t have been better, and M is able to stay on “green” (good behavior) almost every day. Even the Early On program locally, though they did not feel she qualified for services due to her age appropriate language development at age 3, gave us good resources, suggestions, and the social worker and OT came to our home to give us some guidance and materials.
And of course, our amazing friends and family who have been there for us every step of the way. Especially those friends who know exactly what we are going through and have been a tremendous resource (yes you Rachel, Kim, Amber, Courtney & Suzette). It really does take a village, and the bigger the special needs the bigger village you need. We have been blessed with a big, wonderful village that have helped all of us grow together.
Ok I’m exhausted and have to be up at 6am, but I need to write this. It’s begging to get in writing and time is flying by.
Dr. H asked a lot of great questions and listened really well. M eventually answered a few short questions, then shut down and became absorbed in her lacing cards. I kind of felt like I got to tell her whole story to a professional for the first time…the Neuropsych she saw didn’t even seem to listen much.
So in the end the Dr. Prescribed a very low (starting with the lowest possible) dose of an anti-psychotic medication that has shown successful in treating symptoms of autism like aggression, anxiety and sensory issues. I had anticipated this answer, but for some reason as soon as he said it my heart sank and my palms became sweaty. I was really going to put my little 5 year old daughter on a serious medication. I was scared of her being over-medicated and zombie-like. I was scared she would be lethargic, sluggish, not herself. But I filled the script, reminding myself why I made this tortuously difficult decision to medicate my child. Her quality of life has been diminished (she admitted to me in a very rare totally with it moment that she is worried or angry ALL THE TIME), and she was a danger to herself and her sisters. She also very recently started displaying self-injurious behaviors.
Tuesday night I gave my little one a pill crushed and mixed in applesauce.
Disclaimer: she knew she was taking the medication and what it was for. While she hated being at the doctor’s office, she knew she would probably start taking medication and what it would do, and was perfectly ok with that.
Dr. H said within a week (2 at the very most) she would be much happier and less anxious, would stop her aggressive, angry behaviors and actually hug me and tell me she loves me! I thought that was a bit much to promise, but ok. He also told me I would be able to talk to her about her actions and she would be able to understand me, and that was my hope.
Wednesday morning and afternoon M would start to have a meltdown as usual, I would say something reasonable to her, and she would stop and carry on like everything was fine. Wednesday afternoon, on the way home from school, I had a CONVERSATION with M! A full conversation…about SCHOOL! (Before I could not ask her about her day without her throwing shoes at my head and trying to get out of the car.) She answered all of my questions sweetly and thoughtfully, with detail! Before things she said didn’t add up and she was very fuzzy on details when she even made any effort to talk.
Today, Thursday…no meltdowns until dinner, which was very late…past bedtime actually. We had a full, busy day and she was hungry & tired…any kid might meltdown in that situation. And as far as her meltdowns recently, it was very mild. She didn’t talk as much, but didn’t get angry either and was still more willing and clear than so far all year.
It’s only been a couple days, and of course there are still struggles. I had to walk M into class today and talk to her teacher since M would not speak…and she cried when I left (but she stayed in her seat, usually when I have to walk her in she runs out the door or clings to me). She still gets upset when kids approach her in the morning waiting outside the school. But she is already ever so much better! I’m already feeling like this is a miracle drug that is lifting a fog and bringing her out of the world of Autism and into my world.
But amidst this great relief there is a heaviness and a lot of questions. Am I changing or denying her “who she is”? Am I telling her I don’t love her or she’s not good enough without the medication, that I want her to be different or would change her? Does she WANT to be different, to be in my world, or does she prefer the Autism world she retreats into? Do I have the right to pull her into my world? I would ask her these questions and get her permission if I could, but she could never answer them, at least not the way she has been. And is it fair for her little sister to have to worry for her safety and worry about her big sister running away or getting hurt, or for me to have to constantly scan the environment for things M might destroy or use to hurt herself or others? I’m not sure there are any answers, but it goes to prove there is no easy answer when it comes to the decision whether or not to medicate your child.
M is at a children’s occupational therapy clinic that came recommended by a number of people including the county Early On program for children with disabilities. She is being evaluated for sensory processing problems- we know she is overresponsive- and fine motor skills, etc. We were told the evaluation would last around an hour or more. We walk into the evaluation room which is like a big play room. The therapist has M try to draw some shapes, all she can draw is a circle and she has a very immature grasp. No surprises. She asks what M likes to play with. M wants to ride the bike but can’t do it on her own- also not a surprise. M won’t even look at the toys. She doesn’t play with toys at home, either. Never has. All of the doctors and team at Early On said that wasn’t anything to be concerned about but it seemed wrong to me. I told the therapist M likes cars, and she gives M some toy cars. M won’t play. She tells M to drive the cars around. M gets mad, starts crying and throws the cars. We weren’t in the evaluation for 15 minutes. I will never forget phrases like “severe dyspraxia” “inability to interact with toys or pretend play” “unable to even participate in testing” and “intensive occupational therapy for at least 6 months”.
M was at dance class. She would not participate. She sat on the floor stimming, fluttering her hands by her face and chewing on them, a vacant stare on her face. The wonderful teachers kept gently coaxing her but she didn’t want to join. Finally, maybe because they were doing some acro, which she loves, she decided to join the group about half way through the class. It was her turn to do somersaults, which they were just learning to do with teachers’ help. Not M! I wish I could have taped what happened next.
M ran up to the mats and flipped into a somersault with no hands and proceeded to jump up & right into another no handed somersault 3 or 4 times until she came to the end of the mat! It was amazing! This little girl who a year ago didn’t have the motor planning skills to even dress herself or “drive” around a toy car can do handless somersaults, way beyond what other 5 year olds can do. She also handled the backward somersaults & cartwheels beautifully. Other parents were saying things like “wow, look at that little blond girl!” Instead of “aw, look at that poor little shy girl by herself”. At the end of class one girl said goodbye to her and she even said “bye” back! She didn’t look at her, but she said bye. That’s an improvement for her.
I am so proud of my girl. Of how hard she has worked to move an inch where other kids naturally mastered some of these tasks long ago. Sometimes it seems like we haven’t made any progress, like when she is threatening to kill me for the 12th time in a day. Lately her behavior has been worse and I have been fighting to get her to take her Omega 3 supplements, which help. So today I really needed to see that. To remember how far she has come. How far we have come, because I have been researching and pushing for answers, therapies and help since I first became concerned when, by 6 months old, she had never once laughed. It is a long journey but she is doing it. In a pretty large dance class filled with her neuro-typical peers, this little aspie is rockin’ the acro. That takes a lot of motor planning. I am tearing up just thinking about it.
My girl is moving mountains. She will be ok.

Mosquitoes can kill a great time outside, but fortunately there are natural ways to repel them without the dangerous DEET. The natural DEET free mosquito repeller is the safest way to keep your skin free from mosquito bites, and it really does wonders.
If you’re unaware about how harmful DEET can be, you must know that this chemical has been associated with brain cell damage in laboratory testing. DEET can greatly affect the nervous system, holds back the motor skills and potentially leads to memory dysfunction. The reason why DEET hasn’t been fully banned is because some consider it necessary, when in reality, it isn’t.
DEET isn’t quite effective as many repellents turn out to be. You will find in stores some insect repellents that have DEET as an active ingredient to help keep mosquitoes away. What it actually does is to disguise the scent so that bugs can’t find you. What you don’t know is that there are DEET free mosquito repeller that don’t have the chemical and are completely safe and effective. This chemical utilises plant alternatives to repel the insect. Like eucalyptus and lemon, they have shown to be effective natural sprays to do away with mosquitoes. And they are available in stores, so you can apply them to your skin. They are also sold at affordable prices.
If you want to prove that DEET may be bad or not for you, think about those times you used a DEET insect repellent. If you sprayed it on your skin, it stinks. It makes you choke, and you can’t get it into your face and eyes, which is pretty awful. It may seem like the smell of a bug spray or roach killer. So, you’re just going to do some damage to yourselves and your kids when you use DEET sprays.
So, use DEET free mosquito repeller as the safest, natural and most effective way to do away with mosquito bites. You need to protect yourself from infections like Dengue Fever, Malaria and other mosquito-borne illnesses without being exposed to DEET. You can find them if you check the Internet.

This Mini Valentine’s Day Pillow with Burlap Heart makes a cute holiday decoration or gift! This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. This post contains affiliate links.
Do you make holiday decor or gifts regularly? These Mini Valentine’s Day pillows with a cute burlap heart are easy to whip up for decoration or a nice gift idea! Today’s tutorial demonstrates how to create the basic pillow. Perhaps you’d like to add lavender or another scent to create scented pillows. Or maybe you’d like to add a ribbon on top to hang the pillow. Their are several variations that you can use to make customize these pillows.
The “star” of the project is definitely the burlap heart. Have you tried cutting fabric with the Cricut before? Many people only associate the Cricut with fabric or vinyl, but it can cut so many things! The Cricut Explore Air 2 can cut most bonded fabrics. What does bonded mean? It means that the fabric has some sort of interfacing or liner behind it. Fabric, even non-knit fabrics like cotton and burlap, have some stretch to them. Without interfacing or something “bonding” the fabric on the back, the fabric may move while cutting or not cut correctly with the Cricut.
When I stumbled across this Burlap pad recently, I noticed the paper liner on the back and wondered how it would cut with the Cricut. I’m here to report that it did awesome!
These pads of printed burlap come in a variety of cute colors and patterns. The have a paper liner on the back of the burlap. Find them in the card stock section of your local arts and craft store.
This printed burlap is thick, especially with the paper on the back, so it does require the use of a deep cut blade.
Use your Cricut Explore Air or Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut the burlap hearts (one per pillow that you are making). Open up Cricut Design Space and use “Insert Shapes” to create a heart. I cut mine around 5 inches. Be sure to have the deep cutting blade in the blade housing of your Cricut!
Following the manufacturer directions, adhere the interfacing to the back of one of the cotton pillow pieces.
Pin a burlap heart to the front of the interfaced-backed cotton piece. Sew around the edges of the heart with a zigzag stitch.
Pin the other cotton fabric piece to the heart piece with the fabric RIGHT sides together. Sew around the edges with a 1/4″ seam allowance, leaving a large opening at the bottom for turning the pillow.
Stuff the pillow with fiberfill, being sure to fill the corners and pillow evenly.
Use the hand sewing needle and thread to close the pillow opening.
If you received a Cricut Explore Air under the tree this past Christmas, Valentine’s Day may be the first holiday for which you are using the Cricut to get crafty and decorate. How exciting! Get acquainted with the different materials that your Cricut Explore Air can cut with this great list of Valentine’s Day projects!
Each project below is geared towards Valentine’s Day and uses a different material. Happy Crafting!
This Leather Heart Handband from Love Create Celebrate uses leather.
The Love Pillow Case from Rae Gun Ramblings uses bonded fabric.
Lemon Thistle used card stock to make these easy and cute Valentine’s Day place cards.
Organize Your Stuff Now used shelf paper for this Valentine Word Window, but the Window Cling from Cricut would be awesome for this project!
The Happy Scraps used lovely Glitter Iron-On Vinyl for this cute Valentine’s Day pillow.
Try out Print and Cut on printer paper with these “You Hit the Mark” Valentines with Housewife Eclectic.
Use regular vinyl to make these adorable DIY Valentines Mailboxes from Everyday Jenny.
Experiment with printable magnet sheets with these DIY Valentine Word Fridge Magnets from The Quiet Grove.
Use Heat Transfer Vinyl (Iron-on vinyl) to make these cut Modern Valentine’s Day shirts. The Lemon Thistle even includes a free print file to help you make them!
And, of course, use burlap to use these pillows that I showed today!

THis is SOOO cute!!! I need to make one for each of my kids. They will LOVE it!
So cute and easy! I love all the different printed burlap options!
I love giving sweet gifts for Valentine’s Day! These pillows are adorable and super easy with a Cricut!
Wow, these are beautiful! I don’t think I’m creative enough to make this, but I’d totally buy it on Etsy!
I love these pillows! I need to make some for Valentine’s Day, I am totally lacking in the decoration department for that holiday!
These pillows are really cute. Thanks for the fun and creative project to do. They will look great on my couch.
Those pillows are so cute! I need to look for some of that patterned burlap fabric!
I have the Explore Air! I had NO idea they cut burlap! That’s awesome!

Things have gone from bad to worse to even worse for Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
A new Washington Post report cites two sources suggesting Pruitt just gave an at-best-misleading denial of his role in granting two aides raises. Those raises had been flagged because they were rejected by the White House but were then granted using an obscure provision in the Safe Drinking Water Act.
This comes along with questions about Pruitt’s use of first-class travel, his handling of other EPA staff and Pruitt’s renting of a Capitol Hill condo for $50 a night. The Post story quotes a senior EPA ethics lawyer as saying she was effectively forced into a cursory and incomplete review of Pruitt’s condo lease with the wife of a lobbyist — “What they gave me was not the full picture,” she said bluntly.
The Post report, published online Thursday night, also cites two EPA officials who say Pruitt endorsed granting substantial raises to senior counsel Sarah Greenwalt and scheduling and advance director Millan Hupp, though they say he did not carry out the pay raise himself.
Indeed, it’s hard for him to be clearer. Pruitt clearly leaves the impression that he knew nothing about this situation. That’s pretty difficult to square with what EPA officials and a White House official told The Post — that Pruitt ordered the pay raises.
Pruitt may soon argue that while he ordered the raises, he didn’t sign off on the method by which they were awarded. Perhaps he’ll say he didn’t know that, when they were rejected by the White House’s Presidential Personnel Office, EPA staff found a workaround using the Safe Drinking Water Act. “I did not approve the process” suggests how he might square his version with this new reporting.
But that doesn’t explain everything. In his Fox interview, Pruitt paints a picture of almost complete ignorance. He says twice that he didn’t even “know about the pay raises,” but if he ordered it — even by another process and even if he didn’t know they eventually went through — he would have technically had knowledge of the situation.
He also suggests that he doesn’t even know who was responsible for the raises. But if he ordered the raises in the first place — even just through the regular process running through the White House — it would seem he would know who we responsible for trying to secure the raises.
Pruitt has some more explaining to do.

Niki over at Rural Writings mentioned her book.
Then Nan over at Letters from a Hill Farm, wrote an enthusiastic piece about her, including a recipe as well as a video.
I am always interested in reading books about the depression era, finding them full of practical wisdom, where families learned to be creative and resourceful as they persevered through a difficult time. When this book was mentioned, I went right to my library website, saw that we carried it, and placed my hold.
The book arrived at the library today and is just what I hoped it would be. Although it is small in size, with only 194 pages, this book is compact and filled with personal stories, recipes and photos of food, family and friends.
Meet 94 year old Clara Cannucciari, who along with her grandson Christopher, created this wonderful book as well as the video series and her website which you can find here.
I just couldn't resist sharing these videos with you as she is just so cute and so practical. You can find more of her video series on youtube. You need to watch her dandelion salad video and see how God provided for her family during the poorest of times as she talks about the common weed and food from heaven.

London-based German artist Grace Schwindt's feature length film Only a Free Individual Can Create a Free Society is her most ambitious production and our largest film production to date.
Nine partners, three of whom are international, were involved in the commissioning of the film and it toured to eight venues, with bespoke installations at each venue.
During her exhibition at The Showroom, Schwindt held an in conversation on the project with Martin Hargreaves, Programme Leader, MA The Body in Performance at Trinity Laban.
Only a Free Individual Can Create a Free Society was very positively reviewed in Frieze and presented at Art Basel Unlimited in June 2015.
To coincide with the Basel exhibition, The Showroom launched Schwindt's first ever limited edition print, Tall Man, which is based on a costume design from the film.
Grace Schwindt: Only a Free Individual Can Create a Free Society is commissioned by FLAMIN Productions through Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network; Badischer Kunstverein, Karlsruhe; Eastside Projects, Birmingham and The Showroom, London in association with Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Institute of Contemporary Interdisciplinary Arts, Bath; Site Gallery, Sheffield; Tramway, Glasgow and Zeno X Gallery, Antwerp.
Born in 1979 in Germany, Schwindt is an artist based in London working with film, live performance and sculpture. Recent solo presentations include exhibitions at White Columns in New York in 2010, ICA, London in 2010 and the South London Gallery in 2011.

As we inch towards the end of the year we are also heading towards the end of Season Eight. Season Eight which can be considered Sweet and Sour due to a large number of changes this season including the complete revamp of Rune system. Tons of items were also changed throughout the year and many champions were given a mini rework or a major rework in few cases. This has left a dividing impression over the community with many casual players leaving the game as the changes are more directed towards pro play.
Get all the latest news on LoL World Championships 2018 only at Sportskeeda.
This being said one of the most appreciated things Riot did this season is the quality of skin released and we are about to get another one. Like every year Riot is releasing a championship skin to mark the start of Worlds.
Kha'Zix will be the newest champion to join the likes of Thresh, Kalista, Shyvana, Riven, Ashe, and Zed. Kha'Zix was one of the most popular champions of the year both in Solo queue and Pro play.
Championship Skins are usually 975 RP or 1350 RP in some case. They generally look stunning visually but don't have much change to animations usually with backing animation only being different from other skins.
Kha'Zix can be seen holding two flags in his backing animation, unlike previous years where champions usually had a throne.
Kha'Zix can be seen with a Bluish color with a little pinch of Golden around his head. This, however, can be further enhanced with Kha'Zix abilities as you level him up. If you evolve either of Q, W or E Kha'Zix will get a golden ting around his wings whereas if you evolve his R first he will turn into Reddish Silvery Bug. This feature seems really cool as players can choose accordingly.
The Skin is expected to hit live servers in patch 8.19 and the cost of the skin has not been revealed yet.

Here I'll try to compare two hottest PHP based content management system Joomla and Drupal, based on some prevailing factors, and my experience while working/evaluating Joomla and Drupal.
Joomla as a CMS appears to excel in elements that can be identified as functional, while Drupal succeeds in the architectural elements. Which element is more important in a CMS, architecture or function? According to Deane Barker he believes it is more important for a CMS to have better architecture.
As a developer with the capability to write code, I find myself much more concerned with architectural matters. Functionality can be programmed, but I’m at the mercy of architecture. Put another way, give me the right tools and materials, and I can build anything. But give me nothing but a pile of sand and a toothbrush, and I’m pretty much screwed.
In other words, if you agree with Barker that architecture is more important than function you're likely going to want to choose Drupal. However, if you need to make a quick sell where function, third party integration, and eye candy is important right out the box... Joomla still has the advantage.
Learnig Curve - Joomla has relatively shallow learning curve. It is one of the very easiest CMS systems to learn and customize but you may find some mess at coding level. Drupal has a little steeper than Joomla, but still relatively easy to learn.

This is a sad one reaching us here as we’ve got to discover that MTN has reportedly discontinued its support for the popular talent show, Project Fame West Africa. Mhen i so damn love this show and it is really so sad to be hearing this kind of news.
This new development was made known to Olisa Blogazine by a source close to the show producers, Ultima Limited – the same company that produced the no-longer-existing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

This is week 2 of the Summer Fun Quilt Along, and we have some pinwheels and beach balls to make today!
I’ve heard from so many of you that are joining me in this quilt along and I’m so glad! Even if you’re not making this happy summer quilt, it’s worth reading the instructions because I have some great tips for you that can be applied to many techniques. We’re not just creating, we’re honing our skills, too!
All seams are made with 1/4″ seam allowance.
Marking tool for fabric (I love Pilot FriXion Pens for this, but pencil or chalk pencil are fine too).
Note: We will be making the pinwheels oversized and using the 8-at-a-time method of making HST’s.
Draw a diagonal line in both directions on the white 6″ squares. You can also draw cutting lines that will bisect the square horizontally and vertically (see photo below).
2. Place a marked 6″ white square, right sides together, with a 6″ aqua square. Stitch 1/4″ on each side of the diagonal lines. Cut apart on the center diagonal lines and then cut the square in half vertically and horizontally (use the 3″ line on the ruler).
TIP: If you don’t have a 1/4″ presser foot, draw the 1/4″ stitching lines and sew on those.
3. This will make 8 half-square triangle units. Repeat for the remaining 6″ squares of aqua and white for a total of 16 HST’s.
4. Press towards the aqua fabric.
5. Trim these units to 2 1/2″ square using a square ruler. I like to trim all four sides, but if you have two sides that are perfectly aligned, then you can trim just two sides.
Place the diagonal line of the ruler on the seam. Make sure there is enough fabric to trim on the other two sides (if needed). In other words, they should be beyond the 2 1/2″ lines of the ruler. Trim the side and top edges.
Rotate the unit half a turn and line up the previously cut edges with the 2 1/2″ lines of the ruler and the diagonal line on the seam. Trim the remaining two sides.
6. Arrange the HST units into a pinwheel as shown below. Sew them into pairs, making sure to nest and pin the diagonal seams. Press towards the darker side.
7. Sew the two pairs together to form the pinwheel block.
TIP: The center of the pinwheel has four diagonal seams that need to line up in the middle. To achieve this, I like to use a “setting pin”. Nest your seams together and starting on the top seam allowance, you should see an “x” where the stitching lines are. Place your pin straight down through the “x” (if you turn it over, you should be able to see the accuracy of the pin position) and then straight down into the bottom seam allowance’s “x”. Leave that pin straight up and down (perpendicular) to the seam. Then pin on either side of your setting pin, close to the seam allowance. Remove the setting pin and sew your seam, making sure your stitching goes through the middle of the “x”.
Check for accuracy. It should look like this once it’s pressed.
8. Pressing: The center of the pinwheel block can be very bulky. This is a great time to “twirl” the center seams. Do this by pressing one half of the seam allowance up and the other half down. You may have to coax the stitches to release in the middle. The seams should be spinning in a clockwise direction and you’ll see a mini pinwheel in the center.
Place the diagonal line of the ruler on one of the diagonal seams of the pinwheel. Align the 2 1/8″ marks of the ruler on the center of the pinwheel. Trim the top and side.
Rotate the pinwheel half a turn and line up the diagonal line again on the diagonal seam. Align the previously cut edges with the 4 1/4″ line of the ruler. Trim the remaining two sides.
10. Make four pinwheels that are 4 1/4″ square.
Note: These are made using the same technique and dimensions as the pinwheel blocks, with the addition of stitch and flip triangle corners.
Draw a diagonal line in both directions on the green and yellow 6″ squares.
Place a blue 6″ square and green 6″ square, right sides together, and stitch 1/4″ on both sides of the diagonal lines.
Repeat for the magenta 6″ square and yellow 6″ square.
Cut apart on both diagonals and in half horizontally and vertically.
Press the HST’s towards the blue and towards the magenta.
Trim each HST to 2 1/2″ square.
Arrange the HST’s into a pinwheel as shown.
Sew them into pairs, nesting the diagonal seams.
Sew the pairs together to create the pinwheel, making sure to line up the center diagonal seams. Use the “setting pin” tip just as we did with the pinwheel blocks.
TIP: Before you pin and sew the last seam, you can always pinch the center at the 1/4″ seam allowance and check to see if the seams are lined up. Then pin and sew. Sometimes this “pinch test” will save you time and trouble.
Press the seams just like you did for the pinwheel blocks. Trim to 4 1/4″ square in the same manner as the pinwheel blocks as well.
Mark a diagonal line on each 1 1/2″ white square.
Place a white square on all four corners of each pinwheel unit from above. Don’t forget to trim the pinwheels to 4 1/4″ first! (Ask me how I know).
TIP: Use a little water soluble glue stick in the corners instead of pins. It keeps the little squares in position and helps with accuracy.
TIP: Stitch just to the right side of the marked line. This allows for the fold-over of fabric and the thread in the seam allowance.
Trim the seam allowances to 1/4″ and press towards the corners.
Check the size of the beach ball block; it should measure 4 1/4″ square. Trim, only if needed.
Sew the pinwheel blocks and the beach ball blocks together to form a row. Press toward the pinwheel blocks (they naturally want to go that direction). The row should measure 30 1/2″ wide.
You’re making great progress so far! I’ve really enjoyed seeing your progress on Instagram. Make sure to use the hashtag #summerfunqal and tag me @thecraftyquilter.
Please leave me a comment if you have any questions. I’m already looking forward to week 3 and making those sunflowers!
I too, love your instructions. They are so easy to follow. I’ve never made HST’s this way. I’ve seen a lot of other people do it, but never attempted it. But, on such a small project, I decided to give it a try. I will definitely be making them this way from now on. These are the easiest ones I’ve ever made. I also agree with Kennie. It would be nice if you would consider a wall hanging for the other seasons too. This is turning out soo-o-o-oo cute!!! Thanks for your generosity and sharing your talent!!
Thanks Julie for such a FUN project ! Know you are super busy but in your SPARE time (lol) how about whipping up easy hanging patterns for the rest of the seasons? My daughter loves to change out the wall hangings on her office wall. It is the first thing clients see when they walk in and she gets sooooo many great comments. Thanks again for your hard work keeping us all busy !!
My job has me working weekends, so it’s so hard to wait for a day off to work on this quilt, but I got my row done today. And thank you for the tip to use glue! There is a gal in my guild who is always advocating the use of glue, but I never think of it. This truly made things spool much easier! Thank you!
Your instructions are great and very detailed! I have one more triangle to sew and then week one is done! I had my sister visiting from Texas ( we haven’t seen each other in 10 years) and I was given a huge surprise 70th birthday, so I am recuperating from all the joy!
Monica, I am sorry for your loss. I find joy in quilting with my good friend Jackie, who is also doing Julie’s quilt a long; please know your quilt a long friends are rooting for your well being and offering comfort to you.
Thank you Julie for helping all of us in so many ways.
I cannot wait each Friday for the lesson. You are a very good teacher in showing the important details to make this come out perfect. Thank you, I just enjoy this so much especially with using nothing but my scraps. So far turning out so cute.
Hello Julie; I apologize for commenting so late day wise and time wise! But guess what I did after I printed out the first weeks row of blocks? I set it down and began working on my blocks of HST and center Star block for a quilt ( California King sized) I am making for my Daughters Godmother. I honestly forgot all about it and did not run across it at all the whole week, I think that is amazing in of itself alone. So, when I saw this weeks posts…I just kept looking at it and pondering about it until it finally hit me smack dab in the middle of the eyebrows. DUH…I now have found the first printed section and printed the second set and spent today working on the first row. I found the cutest materials, at least in my opinion. LOL. So, it may take me the remainder of the week to get all caught up but I will. See I am already learning new skills **DO NOT HIDE THE INSTRUCTIONS KEEP THEM UP HIGH WHERE I CAN SEE THEM** I am having fun already. Thank you for putting all of your talents together and creating such a great project! Have a great day!
I am very excited about the summer fun quilt along. Although I have been a quilter for many years, the “tips” are a good review, and remind me not to do any short cuts. Thank You.
I am enjoying this project so much! You have absolutely, without a doubt, the best, clearest, easy to follow directions ever!!!!! Thanks so much.
Thanks. Julie!!!! Fun, fun, fun!!! I plan to add borders to make a little quilt for our local children’s hospital. I haven’t decided just what I may add to the strip in place of the word, SUMMER. I do machine embroidery, so it may be something that I will embroider, or????.

In these times of self-centred, unthinking celebrities, both of us agreed that the message displayed remarkable good manners, the sort of behaviour that has seasoned dudes like me remark on the splendid job his parents had done. The truth is that McIlroy happens to be a genuinely good egg. And he's been that way for as far back as I can remember.
Lots of examples come to mind. I especially remember when the Danish veteran, Anders Hansen, was recalling his first sight of McIlroy during the British Masters of 2007. How everything about golf seemed to come so naturally to 'this curly haired kid', that Hansen immediately sensed he was observing someone special.
Speaking in Dubai in 2012, the then 42-year-old added: "What makes Rory even more admirable is that he's one of the nicest guys out here. I wouldn't say that of a lot of them [fellow professionals], but he is really that nice. He's a good boy who carries his stardom better than anyone I know in any sport. I can't think of anyone who comes close."
Those words came back to me today at Portstewart, where McIlroy gave his traditional, eve-of-tournament press conference. In stark contrast to the growing list of players who view such an exercise as a major pain in the neck, McIlroy embraced it not simply in the manner of a polished professional, but as an entirely natural human being.
His general demeanour spoke of a total acceptance of broadcasters and journalists with a job to do. And as the championship's host, he carried a certain responsibility to send everyone away in a positive mood.
On the other hand, the notion of a conference as an unwanted trial, was frequently evident in the non-communicative responses from other important participants. And you could almost hear the grumbling from scribes who knew, before a word was spoken, that this was going to be a total waste of time.
Which goes some way towards explaining the open hostility among the media towards Tiger Woods, when his life began to fall apart in late November 2009. 'What goes around, comes around,' seemed to come readily to their lips.
We should have a terrific Irish Open this week. If we don't, it won't be for the want of effort from its admirable host.

Although these are not all terms associated with Social Media (that would take many more pages) it is a great intro to the language. Social Media is constantly changing as is everything in today’s world and it is key to have a basic understanding of each platform not only for pesonal use but professional as well.
We hope this post helps with your understanding of Social Media and that you feel more secure in using it!

LISC–Bush and HUD Acting Secretary Alphonso Jackson said the initiative will also help meet the Administration’s “Homeownership Challenge” to increase minority homeownership by 5.5 million families by the end of the decade. The program will be administered as a part of HUD’s existing HOME Investment Partnerships Program. To participate, recipients must have annual incomes that do not exceed 80 percent of the area median income and qualified families may use the subsidy for downpayment assistance, such as closing costs and interest reduction. States and local governments with populations over 150,000 or with allocations at least $50,000 by formula will receive funding.

When we look at abuse in relationships there can be both physical and non-physical. Both are stunningly toxic and damaging!
In this episode, we look at continuing to develop our understanding of the impact of non-physical abuse because it is so pervasive. Emotional abuse can include verbal abuse, but episode 47 looks at the often more subtle abusive patterns that over time erode our self-belief, self-trust and self-esteem. This can leave us feeling unloveable.
When we can identify these toxic patterns, such as the various ways in which our partner can withhold from us to modify our behaviour, we can make changes and set boundaries.
Through identifying emotional abuse patterns we can begin to heal and move towards healthy, joyous, loving connection in relationships.
Trigger Warning: Some people may find some of this episode confronting, please make sure you seek appropriate support.

Robert Southey to G. C. Bedford, 10 February 1819; Selected Letters (1850) 3:122.
A New Year's ode should always relate to public circumstances; and a Birth Day one to the person or family of the Prince to whom it is addressed. When the latter comes upon me, I shall lower the tone of the subject. As long as I can help it, I will never suffer any of these compositions to get abroad.... If I give the composer more trouble than poor Pye did, I am sorry for it; but I can no more write like Mr. Pye, than Mr. Pye could write like me. The Pye crust and mine were not made of the same materials. But I suppose there can be no more difficulty in fitting my rhythm to the fiddle, than there is setting an anthem.


text: Our ontological, epistemological and metaphysical point of view is a very important determinant of how we conceive ethics and the possibility of ethical discourse. Kant, G.E. Moore and Wittgenstein had a quite eloquent discourse on ethics though they were, prima facie, incompatible. Kant regards ethics as belonging to supersensible reality, Moore, tells us that “goodness” is a non-natural and intuitively known notion. Wittgenstein says he “respected deeply” that that he himself could not talk about. Both Kant and Wittgenstein might at least find a common point on the idea of ethics being transcendental, whereas Moore strongly objects. I will try to show that Moore’s notion of “good” as a non-natural object that does not exist in time is difficult to conceive without assuming a “transcendental object” and the existence of a supersensible reality, as Kant does. I will investigate the role of transcending the limits of language in Wittgenstein’s conception of ethics where it manifests itself in our attitude towards the world. I will argue that Wittgenstein suggests a transcendental ethics with an account of viewing the world sub specie aeterni, without a need for a supersensible reality.
