Bleeding Gums and the serious conditions that may come along.
Gum disease is considered a complication of diabetes. It can increase diabetic complications and blood sugar. Individuals who don't control their diabetes are mostly at risk. Studies show that the association between gum disease and diabetes goes both ways. Gum disease makes it hard for people who have diabetes to manage their blood sugar.
Studies have also shown that gum disease is related to a heart conditions. The cause and effect have not yet been proven, but it indicates that gum disease raises the risk of heart disease.
Gum disease can worsen heart failure. The patients who are at risk for infective endocarditis may need antibiotics before they undergo a dental procedure. Your dentist and cardiologist will identify if your heart conditions require to use it.
Other studies also pointed the association between gum disease and stroke. Oral infection is a risk agent for stroke. Individuals who have been diagnosed with acute cerebrovascular ischemia are likely to have gum disease.
There was also a connection between bone loss in the jaw and osteoporosis. Researchers have discovered that osteoporosis leads to tooth loss because the weight of the bone that holds the teeth may weaken, and that means the teeth no longer have a strong foundation.
The bacteria that develop in the oral cavity is aspirated into the lungs and cause respiratory illness like pneumonia. This condition is mostly happening on people who have gum disease.

It was only a sign, but those 6 jars of water turned into 150 or more gallons of wine at Jesus’ command (John 2:6). That’s an enormous amount! This first of Jesus’ miracles, shows the overwhelming abundance of God offered to us.
The region of Galilee, where Jesus attended this wedding, was a prosperous region. But the taxes of Rome were oppressive, transportation was difficult, and no one had extra income. Feasting and celebrations only took place when there was a great occasion – like a wedding. Very often a wedding lasted a whole week because people had made such a great effort to get together.
For a week long wedding celebration, it was a big miscalculation and embarrassment to run out of wine.
The saving joy of this story is that Jesus enables the wine and the joy, for the whole community, to be filled to the brim again. And the wine he creates is not just any wine, it’s some of the best.
Jesus abundantly gives the best. Hope, forgiveness, eternal love, new life – what more could we ask for than these things that Jesus gives to us? To trust in those gifts is to know the glory of Jesus in our own hearts, giving us the courage and the vision to press on through all things in our lives.
It’s often the young people of our congregation through whom the Holy Spirit surprises me on any given week. They can sometimes express faith in such an authentic way, that it nearly takes my breath away. This was the case when I taught AMPED – our middle school confirmation this past week.
The lesson was on the book of Acts and how the Holy Spirit blew into the lives of thousands of people to bring them to faith in Jesus Christ. But as the early church grew exponentially, the church argued over who could truly be welcomed into the community.
The church today still disagrees about what it takes for people to belong to the church. We still struggle to try to decide who is welcome, as though we have control of who the Holy Spirit stirs to faith. And on the other end, so many in people in our society have all sorts of excuses as to why they’d never go to church in the first place because the Christian community doesn’t even seem to be relevant to their lives.
So, I gave our kids a very quick assignment in AMPED. They were to imagine someone’s excuse for not going to church. Then they were to extend to that person, a super-brief invitation that might give them a reason to drop their excuse and give church a try.
Our young people’s responses were welcomes OVERFLOWING WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF GOD’S GRACE AND LOVE. Here are a few circumstances and responses from our middle-schoolers. Listen for the abundance!
To someone who doesn’t come to church because they don’t want to keep up with God’s rules: Dear person, God’s rules aren’t too hard to keep up with. God only made those rules to keep us reminded not to sin. Everyone occasionally breaks rules, so don’t be ashamed. Just let yourself be forgiven. Signed, From me.
To someone not sure they believe in God: Response: But God believes in you. He is there for love, forgiveness, hope and he will never give up on you! He does BELIEVE in you!
To someone worried they have different political beliefs: Dear unknown – Do you feel like you don’t belong at church? Well that’s not true because no matter what is happening in someone’s life and religion doesn’t mean that you aren’t welcome. Come. Be a part of God’s calling.
To someone who feels like they don’t fit in. Response: You are welcome to church because no one “fits in”. There are no requirements. Everyone will accept you because they are just like you.
To someone who doesn’t feel good enough: Everyone is welcomed. Don’t be afraid. You are worth more than life itself. No judgement. And another response: No matter what you are, what you do, what you believe, you are always welcome with open arms from God and his people.
Finally, someone who worries they don’t know anything: It doesn’t matter if you don’t know anything about church or God because we all knew nothing at some point. You are always welcome in God’s house.
Do you hear the overflowing abundance of God’s grace and love in those responses? Our young people see Jesus pouring himself out everywhere with God’s welcome, offering hope and love to those who have yet to receive it. Do we see what they see?

April is recognized as National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in Virginia and one James Madison University faculty member took a unique approach to aid in the prevention of texting and driving. Kelly Naletelich, assistant professor in marketing at JMU, examined various types of advertisements in relation to preventative messaging, when it comes to deterring texting and driving.
Naletelich, and co-authors Seth Ketron and Nancy Spears, conducted research through four different online experiments to determine if different marketing messages, where one would imagine versus consider the details of an ad, should be used for different types of people, from those whom are promotion versus prevention focused.
Specifically, there are two types of individuals. Those who are motivated by their hopes, aspirations and dreams, who are called promotion-focused. The other type is prevention-focused, and these individuals are motivated by duties, obligations and securities. Additionally, ads deterring texting and driving often prompt individuals to imagine or consider outcomes of engaging in this risky behavior. Naletelich’s research examines the conditions in which imagine or consider is most effective depending upon if an individual is promotion or prevention-focused. Also explored were the emotional reaction to such ads.
“Marketing played a central role as the research demonstrates how to create effective advertisements against texting while driving and where to place these ads in order to increase the effectiveness of campaigns aimed at reducing intentions to text and drive,” explained Naletelich.
This researched proved that it is important to tailor anti-texting and driving advertisements in such a way as to appeal to these different mindsets to better persuade against such behavior.
Naletelich, Ketron and Spears' research was recently published in the Journal of Business Research.

I was sent a few things to test out. First is the Pure Cocoa Nibs FlavaBar Dark Chocolate ($23.95, 10-pack), an unbelievably delicious classic dark chocolate bar. I’ll be completely honest, I’ve never been a fan of dark chocolate. I don’t know what it is, I’ve just always preferred milk chocolate. This was surprisingly good, not my absolute favorite, but I’m definitely going to eat it up!
I’m telling you, this is definitely a fun Christmas gift to hand out. You have five different options, which is a fun way to test out types of chocolate that you’ve never had before. A good friend of mine LOVES chocolate and trying different things so I plan on giving this to her… she’ll LOVE it!
(1) FlavaMix 10 recipe booklet.
I really like the blender bottle because you can always use it for water after the challenger is completed. You can use this in your smoothie, coffee, oatmeal, yogurt or milk. It’s meant to be used for 10 consecutive days.
Overall, I’m enjoying the chocolate that was sent. It might not seem like much, but if you know someone who enjoys chocolate, then I highly recommend checking some of these products out as stocking stuffers.
You can learn more about FlavNaturals online or order some gifts!
My kids love chocolate! It’s always a favorite gift.
I had not heard of this brand, will have to check it out. We love chocolate gifts.
I have not seen this before that I recall. But chocolate just seems to make things all that much better.
Chocolate is my favorite dessert. These look yummy!
Wow, all the chocolate options. My mama loves chocolate, both dark and milk and I’m sure others. This would make a great gift for her. Thanks for sharing this.
Those bars sound absolutely scrumptious. I really like the varieties.
I love dark chocolate. I think I would love these products!
Oh gosh, I want this. I live for dark chocolate basically.
I would buy a real Italian mezzaluna to cut herbs.
This would really make a great gift, I could just stay away and not eat it all first.
I love dark chocolate and would definitely give this a try!
Chocolate is always a great gift, I agree! I really like the supplement; always needing to boost my calcium intake.
Dark chocolate is my fave! I want to try their Flavamix. Love that it’s unsweetened!
I haven’t heard of this brand before. I will have to check it out. I love everything chocolate.
I love chocolate and anything to do with it. I would like to try this brand out, as it looks like quality chocolate.

The RSeries is the ideal kite for performance riding in all styles and conditions. Its versatile crossover character adopts to the rider's preferences, enabling him or her to boost big airs, throw spray of the lip of a wave or even land handle pass tricks.
We placed the turning axis of this four-line kite at its shoulder to create the perfect balance between powerful tip turning and a pivotal center turning. This results in smooth turning velocity with a good amount of grunt. Perfect to initiate big air jumps and old school tricks.
Coming from a 2017 Ozone Zephyr 17... this thing has so much more power and response. Review I posted on kiteforum.
lright, trying to contribute where possible. I use this site all the time so I plan on reviewing all new gear.
Just rode the RS14 for the first time... love it, super meaty!
I was looking for a third, low wind kite for my quiver (my other 2 are hybrid c's), and after trying a number of other kites, I tried the RS14 and felt like it was ideal for the type of conditions I'm looking for.
There is a lot of power. When you sheet in the power is immediate and significant. I believe it's good for beginners since it's a bow and bombproof, but coming off an NV and Zephyr, this kite is faster and more dynamic so should be able to keep intermediate and advanced entertained.
Flys middle of window, I believe makes a decent wave kite but not designed for it. Super steady. Very easy relaunch.
So the biggest surprise for me is it's ability to boost. In 18 kts I hit a small wave kicker and shot up 30 ft... that is ridiculous. Also, coming down felt like I was in an old folks home elevator. Basically a top end freeride kite.
Faster than the Zephyr which is held in the highest regard, but a 14 with 10 ft extensions... not as fast as hybrid c. I guess i'm asking for the impossible.

The fee for endodontic treatment will be based on the extent of treatment.
If you have dental insurance, we will be glad to file it for you. We have found that insurance plans pay approximately 50%-60% of the fee, depending upon your coverage. For this reason, it is necessary to pay 40%-50% of the fee at the time treatment is rendered. Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. At this time we are not contracted with any dental insurance companies. We will file your claim, but we cannot be involved in disputes relating to your payments of benefits. You are responsible for payment in full regardless of any insurance company's arbitrary determination of usual and customer rates. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
If your insurance carrier is Delta Dental Insurance or GEHA, payment for treatment fees in full is requested at the start of treatment, as these insurance carriers send payment directly to the patient/insured instead of the provider for dental services performed in our office. However, we will file your claim for you.
For payment we accept Visa/Mastercard, Discover, American Express, check or cash. We offer pre-approved extended billing through CareCredit. The terms and conditions are set by Care Credit and are subject to their approval. Please ask if one of these plans could benefit you.

OOH – this blog post is WAY overdue, but things have been a little hectic at work and in training. Stay tuned for a wrap-up of this past weekend, coming to a PC near you in the next 48 hours.
Last Sunday was undoubtedly one of the most awesome days of my very short and very limited tri life. To fully understand what I mean, you need to remember what happened to me last year.
As a first-timer at the 2011 BSG tri in Worcester, I didn’t really know what to do or expect. I didn’t know anything about transition. I had never experienced an actual swim in open water before. More accurately, I couldn’t swim, but didn’t think that 600m would be a problem (I obviously know better today). Before I had even reached the first buoy, I got dunked by one of the team swimmers, resulting in me inhaling under water and spending the next 30 minutes crying and puking and doggie-paddling and backstroking to the other side.
It wasn’t pretty. And the only reminder I have of that day is a blurry photo of my arm as I crossed the finish line. I was also a little peeved that I didn’t get a medal for my efforts because when you turn to run away from death’s door, you sure as hell deserve a memento of the day.
Last Sunday was different. I did have my doubts on the way there though, because after packing bikes, kit and sleeping kids in the bakkie, I realised that Da Husband was still enjoying his beauty sleep and we were very, very late.
After finally meeting up with Sofie and Radesh at the One Stop, our tri convoy traveled through Rawsonville to Brandvlei Prison, where the race was held.
I was a little nervous as we approached the dam, because last year’s weather was so crap that the dam had actual waves! But things were different this time around: not a breath of wind, crystal clear water and the promise of a warm day.
So we registered, I showed Da Husband and Da Kids where our team gazebo was stationed (always important to show kids where to go when they get lost) and got ready.
The actual swim start was a bit of a blur, but I was relaxed and excited and nobody could hold me back when it was our turn to start.
I quickly lost sight of Sofie and Tanja because things get a little hectic in the washing machine of arms, legs, feet and elbows. But there I was, calmly swimming towards the first buoy and navigating a crowded right-turn.
Before I knew it, I had passed the first people that started a few minutes ahead of us, and I was dishing out advice to struggling swimmers! One particular lady seemed to have a tough time, on her back and tugging at her wetsuit. She reminded me of me. I told her to relax, not let in too much water and just try to get her heart rate down while thinking calming thoughts. “But you don’t understand,” she wailed. “I can’t do this!!!” “No, believe me, I truly understand what you’re going through,” I replied. “But anyways, good luck and have fun!!” And I continued swimming towards the finish.
The last bit of the swim consisted of me laughing so much that I kept on swallowing water. Nothing could wipe my megawatt smile off of my face! But the best part: Having Stacey and Adri shouting their heads off, having Da Son running next to me to the exit point, shouting “you can do it mommeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey” and seeing Da Husband and Da Chick waiting for me at the top.
The cycle was a breeze. The run was great (just a little slower than last year because I drank too much water and the slushing water in my tummy was very distracting). But all that mattered was that I owned Brandvlei dam.
Then it was Da Kids’ turn to tri. Da Chick had a bit of a meltdown before the swim so I promptly grabbed her and ran through the water with her. She came to her senses about 15m before the exit point and swam the last bit. I missed the cycle but we waited for them at the finish and felt SO proud when they came running down towards the finish line. My babies are tri-kids!
Wonderful and inspiring. Loving your journey.

While many folks decided to go “Black Friday” shopping this Thanksgiving weekend, a few of us decided to #optoutside instead! In the weeks before the hike, I proceeded to go through all the motions of someone getting ready for a much-needed few days out backpacking! However, this time, it wasn’t just me I was going through the motions for… both my kids were coming along too! As well, one of my coworkers whom has never been backpacking before was going too, so we had to piece together a kit for him. And of course my good buddy Benny Braden (Plug it in on the Appalachian Trail) and his son were also coming along, so we had plenty to get arranged before the time arrived.
Eventually though, the day did (finally) come! After filling my belly with turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, pies, and all sorts of other good Thanksgiving food, I tried to get a few hours of sleep before driving the 6+ hours, some 370-ish miles away. At 3 am I drug myself out of my bed, showered, then started loading the car up with our packs. My buddy Ben met me at my home, then we all loaded up and began driving at 3:30 am (CST). After a few stops, and a few hours later, we pulled up into the Five Guys Burgers & Fries parking lot in Pigeon Forge for some pre-hike lunch!
After finishing some yummy burgers we also stopped in at Krispy Kreme and picked up a dozen donuts to carry along on the hike for some sweet treats while on the trail! After that we eked our way through the traffic in Gatlinburg (Ben had never been to this area, so I figured he would like to see what it’s all about), and then finally into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park! After a couple of twist and turns we found ourselves parking on the edge of the road near the Alum Cave Trailhead… then with no cell service, we prayed that we could find Benny and his son!
Thankfully, my son soon spotted Benny slowly driving down the road and flagged him down. He pulled into the parking area and we all loaded in his truck. After using the bathroom there at the parking area we continued east down 441 until our final stop at Newfound Gap. Boy was it busy… and smoky!
Surprisingly, we quickly spotted a parking spot and slipped in quickly. Then we all started pulling our packs on, and got ready to go!
After snapping the group photo, everyone again checked their packs and pockets, and then we began our hike. Being that my daughter was going, not to mention that since my recent back surgery I am still enjoying shorter hikes, we didn’t have a big day ahead of us. We were only heading 3 miles north along the AT and staying at Icewater Springs Shelter that night.
The smell of smoke from the Chimney Top fires burning was in the air, but only faint. However, as we began heading down the trail, the wind shifted, and we were soon in the smoke. As well, the trail was very crowded… We were often pulling aside for others to go by, or walking past others that had pulled over. This was probably one of the most crowded times I had been on the trail, but it was ok with me. It was interesting meeting so many people that decided to also spend at least some of the day outside!
Hiking out of Newfound Gap north along the AT is a bit of uphill for a couple of miles. My daughter didn’t necessarily appreciate this, however, it did mean we climbed out of the smoke that had blown through pretty quickly though!
We eventually came to a pull off on the east side of the trail that took us to our first view, which thankfully wasn’t obstructed from all the smoke, although we could still see some smoke lower down in the valleys. As usual though, the view was beautiful, and really got everyone pumped for the rest of the hike!
While here we talked with another hiker that was heading towards Kephart Shelter, and come to find out, it was his girlfriend (or wife?) that took our group photo. We eventually said our goodbyes and our little group continued pushing uphill. Some time later we came to the sign that marked the Sweat Heifer trail heading east to Kephart Shelter. We took a short break here and the hikers we spoke with earlier soon arrived. After talking a bit more we continued on. We were about half way to Icewater Springs shelter now!
The trail eventually leveled out for a bit and we arrived at the intersection of the Boulevard Trail and the Appalachian Trail. From here we only had about 0.2 miles to go to get to the shelter. My daughter was happy about this…lol!
After we got our gear all set up we took a moment to talk with others and take in some views. After this we taught Ben how to hang food using the bear lines so we could hike 0.7 miles farther north along the trail for some views from Charlie’s Bunion.
After we got all of our stuff situated we took off to Charlie’s Bunion. The water source is just north of the shelter right on the AT, which we found to be pretty much dried up. Just a little ways farther we came to another source, which is where the boys filled up later that night, although they had to go up the mountain a bit to find a better spot to collect the water from.
As the first signs of darkness started to settle in, we decided to head back to the shelter. And it was perfect timing… we had the place all to ourselves the entire time we were there, but as we were leaving we met others hiking in. We said hi and continued on. By the time we got back to the shelter a few of us had turned on our headlamps. The sun had gone down and darkness was almost entirely upon us!
Walking back up to the shelter I noticed that I could see the silhouette of it against the orange sky behind it. The fires weren’t all that bad this night, but it still gave off an orange glow above it.
When we had gotten back to the shelter we retrieved our food bags and began preparing our dinners. The hiker below us had already fell asleep, and the couple on the opposite side of the top bunk were putting away their items, getting ready to lie down. It was still early, but we tried to be somewhat quiet as we went about our chores.
They still had to eat and get their gear sorted, and I must admit, they weren’t exactly quiet either, although I was fine with that… I was lying down to get warm and (finally) relax, not because I was tired. After some time they finally got into their own beds, however, by that time most of us were still up and talking… other’s were snoring!
I was really hoping I would sleep that night, but I didn’t get much at all. It is usually tough for me to get much sleep on the first night out, and the snoring and shuffling from everyone in the shelter didn’t help… tis shelter life though! Come 4 am I awoke from a light sleep to go pee… When coming back in the shelter I noticed some of the late hikers from the night before was also up, and soon after began getting up and packing up… loudly.
There was no going back to sleep for me. I laid there awake while they got their stuff back together. After they left the other hiker below us was also up, so around 6-ish I decided to get up. I had to cook breakfast for me and the kids, then pack all our stuff up so I needed to get things going anyway.
After we ate I began cleaning the cooking kit and then began getting our things together so I could begin packing our things up. But first, I enjoyed the last half of my coffee while taking in the morning views! I missed the sunrise, but it was still beautiful, and I was happy to be there… especially with my family and some good friends! God is good!!
Very surprisingly, by 8:30 am I had gotten everything packed back up and we were actually on the trail!
The night before the temperatures had dropped to 31 F according to my Suunto Core watch. On top of that, the wind was really ripping it! Thankfully there was a tarp hanging over the front of the shelter though, which did a great job at keeping the wind out. However, the next morning while walking down the trail, the wind was in our face and against out body. It was cold, and my daughter wasn’t too happy about it.
We hiked south along the AT back to the Boulevard Trail. We were only hiking to the other end of it that day, which terminated on Mt LeConte, where we were staying that night (at the shelter, not the lodge… it officially closed the day before Thanksgiving). However, we planned to take the spur trail (off the Boulevard Trail) to The Jump Off first. As many times as I had been in this area, I never made it all the way to the Jumpoff, but this time was going to be different!
Midway up the spur trail to the Jumpoff though, my daughter had a break down. Her fingers and toes were “frozen”, despite the hand warmers, gloves and mittens she was wearing. It was cold, and the wind wasn’t helping. My heart broke when she hung her head and I could hear the tears in her voice… I tried to be encouraging, caring and stern at the same time. I tried to explain to her that she had to keep going to get the blood pumping, which would make her warm again… She didn’t want to, but she knew she had no other choice.
Thankfully a little farther up the spur trail we came to a spot that blocked the wind, and the sun was shining on. We stood there for a few minutes and she slowly began recollecting herself. By the time we made it to the actual Jump Off she was still trying to finish pulling herself together, but the views, and the happiness on everyone else’s faces helped her to push through I think… She smiled again, and my heart melted. We took in the views together. God is so good!!
After we all had our fill (not really… we just knew we had to get going) we headed back to the Boulevard Trail. Once again, my daughter and I stopped in the warm spot for a bit and she soaked in the warmth a little more. After we were all back on the Boulevard Trail we continued heading west, about 5 more miles towards Mt LeConte.
Throughout the day we met several other hikers, but not near as many as we did the day before on the AT. As the morning turned to afternoon, Benny and his son pulled away from us as we were hiking a little slower to accommodate my daughter. As noon drew nearer we decided to stop in a sunny spot and have some lunch.
Not much farther along we could see and exposed part of the trail coming up. As well, at this point, the trail really began to climb again. It was tough on my daughter, but she pulled through like a champ! Then, just before we came to the exposed part of the trail, the trail took a turn behind a mountain where it was a bit cooler. There was plenty of moss with some icicles on the side of the trail that was interesting… I stopped to take pictures as the rest of the group continued on.
I caught back up with them just before they came to the exposed part of the trail. At this point I rushed ahead of them to take some video of them coming out. While playing with my camera they all took a seat to rest from the long climb up to this point. I snapped a few photos of them… And then I took in the views, and a few more pictures!
After a bit we all got going again, and it wasn’t long until we came to the top of Mt LeConte! As we were coming off the Boulevard Trail we met up with Benny and his son coming down the spur trail from Myrtle Point. From here the boys took off, and the rest of us hiked as a group again for a short distance. As we came to the cairn at the summit of Mt LeConte I noticed my belly was rumbling… I took a few photo’s and then decided I had better keep going.
When I arrived at the shelter the boys were sitting on the bench at the front of the shelter, and the hiker from the night before was there too. I immediately threw my pack off and hit the privy! Shew… it was a great site for my ole eyes!
After I finished my business I headed back to the sheltered began unpacking our packs. I decided to take a bottom bunk to make packing up the next morning a bit easier. When my daughter and the boys got back from getting water I asked them where they wanted to sleep… of course they said top, so I got everything else unpacked and set up. At this point I decided to go ahead and cook some muffins. I figured it would be a good midday snack, and it was still early enough to do so before we headed to Cliff Tops to watch the sun set. Plus, I wouldn’t have to do it after the sun set! So, I got to baking!
I baked a Triple Berry muffin for the kids first. They dug into it rather quick like!
After that, I baked a Banana Nut Muffin for the adults. By this time a few others had shown up at the shelter, so I decided to split it up 6 ways to share.
All in all, the muffins turned out great, and all those that had some enjoyed them!
After I finished baking I started cleaning everything up so I could hang it while we were gone. The rest of the group went ahead and headed to Cliff Tops and I met them there a little later. As I headed out for Cliff Tops I realized that in my rush to get there I still hadn’t taken any video or photo’s of the shelter, so I went ahead and did so then.
The view from Cliff Tops was outstanding, as usual. The smoke from the Chimney Tops fire was low in the valley, and there were few clouds in the sky to obstruct a good sunset. As the sun continued to get closer and closer to setting we all just enjoyed our time hanging out at Cliff Tops. After we watched the sun set we sat around a little longer, then headed back… I still had to prepare our dinner, clean, and get everyone ready for bed!
After we ate, and got everything put away and hung, we began getting ready to crawl into bed. We were expecting a much colder night than the night before, however, the wind had died almost all the way down. There was very little wind to speak of, which was great!
The next morning, breakfast was going to be simple: pop-tarts with coffee/hot cocoa. So, to make sure all our water didn’t freeze up and not be able to use it, I poured some in my cook pot and let it sit overnight. This way, at least if it did freeze, I could still heat it over my stove.
As I was getting ready to climb into my bed one of the other hikers showed back up. He stayed at Cliff Tops after we left and watched the fire burning on Chimney Tops before coming back to the shelter. He suggested that we go look at it too, so Benny, Ben and I donned our headlamps and hiked back up to Cliff Tops.
The views really were amazing. The fire burning at Chimney’s was noticeable, but looked rather small. This was likely due to the lack of much wind. As well, the lights from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and the other surrounding cities were shining bright! We even saw the space needle in Gatlinburg thing bright purple! We stood there for about 15 or 20 minutes in amazement before we headed back to the shelter for the night.
When we got back we all pulled into our beds for the night. By 8 pm or so the shelter was actually pretty quiet… I stuffed my ear plugs in and actually got some really good sleep that night!
I woke up before sunrise the next morning, but again, instead of watching the sun rise, I headed out and retrieved the food bags, then began heating the water I poured into my cook pot the night before. Next I set out the pop-tarts and poured the coffee and cocoa into our cups. While waiting for the water to boil I woke the kids and got them up and moving. Soon after we were drinking hot coffee/cocoa and eating frozen pop-tarts!
Being that breakfast was a little more simple this morning, it didn’t take me as long to clean everything and get it all packed up. My son slept with the watch on, so when I got it from him to check the temperature it read 85 F! He musta slept warm anyway… lol! By the time the watch sat out for about 30 minutes it read 31 F. Being that the sun had been up for about an hour at this point, I figured it was safe to say the temperature actually dropped down into the high 20’s the night before. After reading the report at High On LeConte for that night though, I realized it actually dropped down to 23 F! However, since the wind was still basically non-existent, it actually felt warmer than the night before.
As we headed out that morning we stopped by the lodge to take some photo’s. We again took this opportunity to take some more group shots of us with the #optoutside poster!
We had a long day of driving ahead of us, so we didn’t spend too long at the shelter. Of course too, everything was locked down since they had closed a few days before, so we got moving again pretty quickly. Once we got on the Alum Cave Trail the boys once again took off (they were actually doing some running). We instructed them to wait on us at the bluffs though.
As it usually goes, I know we have to be somewhere, but walking a beautiful trail is tough to do in a hurry… Benny and my daughter ended up moving along a little faster than Ben and myself, but we pretty much stayed together as a loose knit group. Since this entire trip was Ben’s first time backpacking, and first time in this area, I was trying to fill him in on all the little facts and details I had come across over the years… and of course we stopped to take in each little view, and snap a few photo’s too!
We did eventually make it to the bluff’s, and yes, the boys were there waiting on us. They said they had been there about 20 minutes already, and thought it would be another 20 minutes before we made it (oh… to be young!) We took a few minutes to take in the bluffs themselves, as well as some of the new work done to the area, and then we continued on.
Once we left the boys again took off. Emily knew we were getting close so she decided she would go with the boys too… It didn’t take long for us to come around a corner and see them standing there, and my son informed me that she wanted to hike with us since they were going to fast. So at that point my daughter stayed back with us and the boys yet again darted off!
As we dropped in elevation we had come back into the smoke from the fire’s. It wasn’t difficult to breathe in, but we could definitely smell it, and it obstructed some of our views to some degree’s.
As we got closer to the end of the trail, we began meeting more and more hikers. Then before we knew it, we heard traffic… then we saw parked cars through the trees, and then we crossed over the last bridge. The sign on the other side of the bridge noted that the trail we just finished was the Alum Cave Trail, and that we were now back at the parking area.
When Ben and I hiked back out into the parking area, we saw the rest of our group huddled around my car on the side of the road. We walked up and then got our things put away inside the car. At that point, me, Benny and my daughter piled into my car and headed back to Newfound Gap to get Benny’s truck. After that we headed back to the Alum Cave parking area and picked up Ben and the boys.
It is beyond sad to see what became of the GSMNP and the surrounding area’s so fast after we left. It is truly heartbreaking to see the tragedy taking place at this very moment. It is hard to imagine that the “small” fire that we stood on Cliff Tops and watched burning that Saturday night is now so large and deadly. I know both homes and businesses have been lost, and it’s still not over… My prayers go out to all those involved, and for the land itself to recover soon!

What a fantastic write-up. I really enjoyed reading it. Taking your children on adventures like this has to be one of the truly joyful times in life. Great stuff.
Thanks, and yes, it is very enjoyable taking my children with me while I still can! I hope that they want to continue to go as they get older… lol! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by!
I LOVED the photos at the Bunion. So cool with those clouds. I am very glad to have found your blog. You seem like a great dad. My heart felt for your daughter when she was cold and I was so happy to see her smiling later on. Glad you got to enjoy this with your children and friends. Praying for all that are dealing with the fire in that area. My niece has vacation rentals a few miles from the NOC near Bryson City and we were on pins and needles wondering if her business would be damaged the week prior to the Gatlinburg fire.
Glad you enjoyed the post, thanks for stopping by and commenting! And yeah, my heart broke for my daughter… she has been backpacking before, so she knew what to expect although this has been the longest, and coldest hike she has been on. She pulled through though, and in the end I believe she did enjoy it, however, she said her next hike needs to be warmer!
And yes, the fires have been a sad state. I think that it is under control or out now though in the Smokies, so that is good, but now is the time for regrowth. Our prayers definitely go out to all involved. And I hope that your niece’s places remained safe during these times!
Great hike! I have been hiking with my children (4) for years and they are getting older and it is becoming more difficult to get them on the trail. Thanks for recording your personal experience with family and friends; really enjoyed it. Thanks!!!
I hear ya! My son is almost 15 so I figure he may have other plans int he coming years… But with all the schedules, it’s tough to get them all out together. I was so excited to get out wth them on this hike, as well as my other friends, and of course my buddy that had never been before! All in all it was a really great experience! Anyway, thanks for stopping by, and happy hiking!

Music lovers will now be able to enjoy an intimate live performance by their favourite artists complete in surround sound, thanks to TGV Cinemas!
The cinema chain will be partnering with Lakefront Xperience (LFx) to launch the world’s first ever live music touring circuit with rising hip-hop star Zamaera to kick off the tour with her new upcoming EP.
“The idea of LFx is for the audience to enjoy an intimate show with surround sound paired with larger-than-life visuals for an unforgettable and immersive acts,” said LFx founder Bryan Tan.
Since video content is very easily accessible with the emergence of VOD platforms like Netflix, iFlix, Viu and more, TGV is enabling a different kind of content for audience to enjoy in the cinemas.
So with the exclusive partnership between LFx, audience can now enjoy the first-of-its-kind live music performances, making live shows more immersive, interactive, and experiential than ever before.
Though music produced in surround sound is commonplace in movie scores, it has never been done for live music acts. However, artists who wish to perform in LFx would need to produce elements of their music in surround sound in professional studios prior to their performances. The artists will also need to design the visual element of their acts to fully utilise the massive theatre screens in the hall.
“When it comes to surround sound, you’re bringing a different concept to the show, one that you were not necessarily perform the same if it was outside of a cinema. You can do all sorts of music genre from rock to jazz, but you’re tailoring and designing it so that you can get the best out of the surround sound. So this allows the artist to be very creative,” said Tan.
Currently, TGV is looking to implement LFx in 9 locations across Malaysia including Klang Valley, Penang and Johor. According to Tan, TGV and LFx are still finalising the touring circuit which is set to kick off in early March featuring Malaysian female rapper Zamaera.
Thanks to the comfort and convenience offered in TGV Cinemas, the live shows will be equipped with the latest visual and sound technologies, allowing the audience to experience a musical immersion like no other. But like every cinema rules, audience are not allowed to record the music session and upload it on to social media.
Artists who wish to perform live in TGV will need to let the cinema known the kind of shows that they wish to deliver. TGV will then curate and slot the artist at suitable times. Like movie showtimes, the artist’s show will appear on TGV showtimes pages such as Now Showing or Coming Soon, and audience can book tickets for the show straightaway from TGV website.
According to Tan, the preparation for the live show will be faster than normal and it saves cost. For performers, LFx brings “plug and play” technology to the table, allowing live music performers to setup and perform in any TGV Cinemas location within Malaysia so that they can tour the nation easily.
“Touring is always such a huge and costly endeavour, but together with TGV Cinemas, we are able to make these live music performances more accessible and cost-effective for the performers as well as the audience,” Tan added.

Frostbite™ Apple is a small tree that is typically grown for its edible qualities. It produces small dark red apples (which are botanically known as 'pomes') with hints of gold and white flesh which are usually ready for picking from early to mid fall. The apples have a sweet taste and a crisp texture.
Frostbite™ Apple features showy clusters of lightly-scented white flowers with shell pink overtones along the branches in mid spring, which emerge from distinctive pink flower buds. It has forest green foliage throughout the season. The pointy leaves turn yellow in fall. The fruits are showy dark red apples with hints of gold, which are carried in abundance in early fall. The fruit can be messy if allowed to drop on the lawn or walkways, and may require occasional clean-up.
Frostbite™ Apple will grow to be about 20 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 20 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 4 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 50 years or more. This variety requires a different selection of the same species growing nearby in order to set fruit.

Lately in the foreign specialized press, there are more materials with the analysis of the combat use of the armed forces of the Western powers in the aggression against Libya,. In the majority of published articles from foreign military analysts contain a very unflattering assessment of the efficiency shown by the troops of the Western armies. The General conclusion is that, despite a significant breakthrough in the creation of new samples of armament and military equipment in the Western armies (except the US army) there was no holistic understanding of the techniques and methods of its effective use.
The Libyan campaign clearly demonstrated the loss of ability to strategic military-political planning. As a result of the use of military force during the campaign was implemented without clearly defined political objectives.
In particular, according to Western military analysts, the application by France of military force in Libya was based on faulty strategy, namely the fuzzy objectives of the campaign that have hampered the effective use of available limited funds. As a result of the planned significant long-term positive effects on the economy and the political situation in the region and the world as a whole were neutralized by the negative of the excessive financial cost of the campaign, the growth of social discontent of European peoples from the disproportionate use of force and the deterioration of the General political situation existing European administrations.
Initial plans for the use of military force proceeded from the estimates, according to which the Libyan campaign should have ended fast enough. And as long as this idea prevailed in the minds of military strategists, it was believed that only the removal of Gaddafi is capable of changing the situation in Libya. However, the demonstrated resilience of the Libyan leadership has sown doubts among European political elites. The mere appearance of such fermentations is the result of the lack of a clear military-political planning, and a mismatch of objectives and involved in achieving them resources. According to some sources in the Western press, while in March 2011, 66% of the population of France were for military intervention, already by July, 76% strongly agreed that war was the only way to get Qaddafi to leave power.
These statistics lead experts to the conclusion that in recent years Western society refuses to acknowledge military force as an effective instrument of achieving political goals, which in itself is a very important consequence of the Libyan campaign.
The issue of the perception of military power in European society in the Libyan campaign faced one is the problem of organizing and conducting the war coalition. A key principle of the coalition war – the obligatory presence of points of contact and General political aims with allies. When you consider that the coalition war is the main method of warfare by Western armies since the Second world war, the lack of a unified view of the progress and outcome of the campaign in Libya among the allies initially did not promise anything good, and showed further development.
Efficient management of the coalition in war conditions, when France and Britain begin to compete for leadership in relation to comparable countries, such as Spain or Italy, it was impossible. The attempts have led to contradictory behavior when, for example, unilaterally by Italy was declared a ceasefire on 21 June 2011. This option was totally unacceptable to NATO.
No doubt that domestic politics and diplomatic factors have not allowed the French political leadership to define the goal of the campaign prior to its start is the most significant "flaw" in strategic military planning. Of course, the desire of Nicolas Sarkozy to claim victory in Bastille Day has had a devastating impact on the already inadequate military control.
However, the Libyan campaign is a quite expected result of the "independence" of the European armed forces. European army since its formation a new look at the composition of NATO assumed that they will be exclusively the Executive elements of the U.S.-led operation. However, this role contradicts what is in Libya, where the U.S. clearly chose not to take any political action and not to take on a leadership role. This behavior of "bare" left Europeans not only as strategic planners, and executors of their plans.
Wake-up call was painful. Long recognized gaps in European capabilities in areas such as intelligence and reconnaissance, close air support, strategic refueling aircraft were again demonstrated in Libya.
Currently the American forces are performing more than two thirds of all operations for refuelling in the air and 80% of the missions for exploration and reconnaissance. This clearly suggests that any more or less serious operation could not be performed without the blessings of the States.
Of course, French troops showed a quite acceptable level actions at the tactical level. In particular, the results of the Libyan campaign, some military analysts believe that the fighter-bombers Rafale showed its superiority over the rival Eurofighter. Also effective were the actions class frigates Forbin in the decision of tasks of air defense, as well as management and coordination of the operations air force. Well were the possibilities of amphibious assault ships of the Mistral class as battle platforms to attack helicopters. By overall rating in the last few weeks of the campaign the French contribution to the fighting reached 25% in air missions and up to 35% of the total number of attacks.
However, despite the good performance demonstrated by Rafale, at the end of the campaign has affected one of the most serious technical problems – fatigue technology. Because of limited numbers of aircraft in combat units of the French air force, the available samples were exploited to the limit. The aircraft Rafale, reportedly had logged more than 140 hours per month. The result is the need for serious rehabilitation works and extension of life. The only French aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle", was at sea for 220 days for all nine months. In one of public statements by the commander of the French Navy, it was noted that excessive use of the vehicle led to increased wear of mechanisms, and it will be available in 2012, much longer than was previously scheduled. Thus, what was done in Libya, is the maximum voltage of forces, which entailed a long recovery period. This is why today France is almost unheard of in the Syrian (and Iranian) the question "Imperial guard" is still recuperating.
Against this background financial implications the financial crisis was very significant for the French budget - expenses estimated at about one million euros a day and 87 million euros during the first three months. And that's not including the cost of restoring the combat capability of air force and Navy.
The main conclusion after evaluating the effectiveness of French forces in Libya, is that the French forces have demonstrated a good effectiveness at the tactical level, but the complete lack of strategic thinking in defining policy objectives and in planning the application of corresponding forces and means. It is, however, fully consistent favorite saying of Marshal of Napoleon: "First we will get involved in the fight, but we'll see... ".

Confidentiality is an important principle underpinning assessment. Confidentiality is central to the trust between staff, learners and regional or international service providers.
 Has the right to expect that information about them will be held in confidence.
 Knows that the information they provide will only be used for the purposes for which it was given.
 Understands that information about them will not be released to any person outside of the organisation without their consent, unless legal conditions for breaching confidentiality are met.
Where confidentiality in the contents of assessment materials, or information about the assessment, is required (in order to ensure that a qualification which an awarding organisation makes available, or proposes to make available, reflects an accurate measure of attainment), the MD will take all reasonable steps to ensure that such confidentiality is maintained – through the secure storage of such materials (see the physical resources section of the Resource Management Policy) and the promulgation of this policy to all concerned individuals. In particular, he/she will take all reasonable steps to ensure that such confidentiality is maintained where it (or any person connected to it) provides training or training materials in relation to a qualification. Training materials, written by any person with assessment responsibility and which are not published directly by MAEL, must be approved by the MD before distribution. He/she will take all reasonable steps to ensure that no person connected to it, or previously connected to it, offers to disclose information about any assessment or the content of any assessment materials where that information is (or is said or implied to be) confidential.
Where any breach of such confidentiality (including through the loss or theft of assessment materials) is either suspected by an awarding organisation or alleged by any other person, the awarding organisation must investigate that breach immediately, using the guidelines in the Adverse Effects section of the Risk Management policy.
Results of assessments will only be communicated to the learner personally by MAEL via a secure channel. Under no circumstances may results be given to third parties (even with written approval of the learner concerned.) Tutors will have access to results, but must follow this precept in communicating results. Where marks or grades have been awarded subject to later moderation, tutors must ensure that learners understand that marks may be adjusted up or down.
Results of assessments will be kept securely under lock & key at the MAEL offices. They will only be made available to those with a legitimate interest e.g. verifiers.
The confidentiality rights of all staff and children will be respected, in accordance with the guidance herein. No personal date will be retained without the explicit permission of the individual(s) concerned.
· Centres must ensure learners make sure they have parents’ written permission to take and use photographs of the children in their teaching practice site. If consent is not given, the supervisor must make sure that all staff members in the setting know about it.
check that children are dressed appropriately and that images can’t be construed as provocative, and also that photographs are taken in appropriate areas or rooms in the setting, and always in full sight of other staff.
understand that setting’s own camera must be used, not a personal camera or phone, and download images from the camera’s memory card as soon as possible to a password protected file on a computer or on to an encrypted USB memory stick, making sure the images are deleted from the memory card.
Do not store images on memory cards. Store printed images in a locked cabinet only accessible to authorised people.
Do not save images with a child’s name in the filename.
Do not use mobile phones with camera and video functionality for taking photographs of children they mind.
Do not put images on any website unless they have parents’ written permission and the images have been resized to a smaller size and lower resolution to prevent digital manipulation.
 This will not preclude the provision of references with results if requested.

Based on the feedback from our Design Proposal, the Tools and Suggestions, and assignment Rubric, I have the following suggestions.
Although presented as a different rubric item, this sounds just like “easy to navigate”.
She commented that our formatting was a bit poor. More attention will have to be paid to this.
I’m not yet sure what this means??
I will be working on a user’s guide this morning as a sub-heading under “Welcome” In the header menu. This should address “is easy to navigate”.I also added a video for the front “Welcome” page. Take a look whether appropriate in this location. It gives an early focus on the reason for our design; mutual student support and mentoring.
Decided to make a new Menu heading “Creating an Account” to bring together user directions.

After a successful shoot for the breakout band Macklemore, we are proud to have again worked in the great city of Boston. Biogen Idec trusted our teams to shoot, direct and edit a seven-minute content piece, that was presented on Fenway Park’s Jumbotron during the Boston Red Sox’s opening week.
We could not have been more thrilled to help with the release of their latest blockbuster drug, TECFIDERA™. Our team was honored to craft this pro-mercial piece for such an important cause. The new drug, TECFIDERA™ (dimethyl fumarate), is a new oral therapy recently approved in the United States for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, including relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), which is the most common form of the disease.

These are the instructions to root HTC Desire C smartphones. The world of rooting an Android operating system is a free world and one where you are not locked down within any carrier or manufacturer restrictions; you are free to install any app, remove any stock app from your carrier, overclock the CPU and increase the performance and much more. You might not realize it, but when we buy our devices, they have the internal system locked up so that we cannot use the device to its fullest extent. That version of ‘locked’ is different to your device being locked to a carrier network. The kind of locked we are referring to now is being locked from having access to the root file system. Without access to the root file system, we cannot make the changes to control our device. The rooting guide below teaches you how to do that so you can do anything you want.
The following guide only rooting the HTC Desire C smartphones. As most of you will know, the HTC brand name make many well documented smartphones. The Desire C is just one of those. You will find other names and models under the HTC name, but following anything but the Desire C will brick the device.
Download the HTC USB Drivers from the official HTC website driver page you can find from this post. Just scroll down the page until you see the HTC driver section and click the link. That will directly take you through to the website. If for any reason, you cannot get that HTC driver to work on the computer, you can download the universal ADB driver made by Koush. That’s the same Koush who has developed ClockworkMod recovery and various other technologies.
You need to have installed a custom recovery on the HTC Desire C before following this guide. Without the custom recovery installed, you cannot flash the rooting exploit (SuperSU) package. Our guide from the link dropped will teach you how to install TWRP recovery on the HTC Desire C. The TWRP recovery is the one most people are using. You sometimes don’t get a choice between the selection of recoveries to use; however, if you can find CWM or Philz touch recovery you can flash that instead if you prefer. Essentially, it doesn’t matter what custom recovery you are using, the same steps will apply during the guide below. You’ll just find the wording slightly varies between recoveries.
Download the SuperSU and our rooting exploit from this page here.
Connect the HTC Desire C smartphone to the computer using the USB cable.
Move the SuperSU file still zipped over to the internal storage SD card. Keep it on the root of the SD card.
Once done, disconnect it from the computer.
Long-press the Power button and get the device to completely turn off.
Reboot it now in the recovery mode.
Tap over the ‘Install’ option from the recovery menu.
Search for the SuperSU file from the SD card.
Confirm you want to install the SuperSU file and then choose the reboot system now option from the main recovery menu.
Now you can regain control of your Android account and start using the device with root access.

Googled Super Meat Boy to see what it was written in, and Google provided me with a better answer to your question then I could say.
There is no such thing as “the official game development language”. ALWAYS remember that. Minecraft is written in Java, Super Meat Boy is written in C++, Farmville is written in Flash, some other game people play is written in HTML 5, some other game people play was made on Index cards. The point is: It doesn't matter.
I personally like Java. It's a little wordy, but It's designed well, and is pretty powerful. Just pick one, and go for it. If you find you don't like it after trying a few times, then try another.
You are more than welcome to ask questions about coding here.
Depends on what the platform is you're wanting to use. But write with whichever language suits you the best.
I personally have a sweet spot for C#.
Feel free to ask as many questions as you need, or to ask for advice. Good luck!
Thanks everyone! I do have one question that really is making curious, I was reading how notch made HIS graphics using Java. I was wondering how that even is possible, or did he just use a different program for the GUI?? I don't even know if these are the right terms or not??
Minecraft, like a lot of games, use OpenGL for graphics. DirectX exists but it only runs on Windows platforms. Graphics layers only do graphics. So you need a language to talk to it and handle everything else. Such as Java or C++ or whatever. Minecraft also uses LWJGL. https://www.lwjgl.org/ For bindings and such. There's also libraries available for GUI stuff, if ya don't want to do all the work yourself.
Thank you! I just had one more question, I used codeacademy.com to learn java and I have to pay about 20$ a month to finish the rest of the advanced course. So I was wondering what websites would be used to get a firm grip on learning Java?
Youtube has a ton of good series. Google is good for specific answers. Stackoverflow has a ton of great information. There's also a site.. http://symbolhound.com/ that lets you search code symbols. Google will filter that stuff out.
You can learn just about anything you want for free with a bit of effort finding articles.
Here's one to start ya out.. The Benny Box. Guy is pretty amazing.
I learned quite a bit about 3D graphics and physics from that guy. He does Java and C++. Even LWJGL and actual game engine tutorials.
The Basic Java Development tutorial might be what ya need to make sure ya have the basics down.
Is a ton of information out there, so is easy to get overwhelmed. Just master the basics and move on to bigger stuff when you feel comfortable.
I'm currently doing Codecademy's Java course right now too(Just the free stuff), just cause I haven't coded in awhile, and I thought it'd be fun to do a refresher. Just as a word of advice. When you're using an online source to learn coding, they are always going to teach you it from their perspective, and the way they do things. There's so many ways you can write the same block of code to achieve the same output. That's why I would suggest buying a beginners textbook about Java, because that way you'll learn how, and why you use the code that you use, and what it actually does, instead of just learning that "If I do that, then I get this." and not really understanding the knowledge behind it. Also, the benefit of having a textbook is, if you get stuck with the online stuff, you can have a read, and figure out what you're doing wrong. Most online resources will teach you the syntax, and the basics, but lack anymore depth then that.
It's not dull and colorless like a lot of textbooks, and it has activities at the end of each chapter to do.
Alright, I will look into it Thank you! I have heard of eclipse and I saw some videos on it and I think it's a pretty good IDE to work with for me.
Hey ,try learning a low level language first like c and next c++(also c# and java works) then you can learn some python to import and export models(this is the fun part if you wanna try a 3d game ), and next find a good IDE or program to start like vs studio or a game based software like unreal engine or unity for 3d and 2d or gameengine 2d (this is good too but only 4 2d ),try learning some udp and net based scripting like php and some basics from .dll external references.

April has flown by! Sorry I have not posted in awhile! I do have some pretty exciting updates for you.
Yesterday I attended a creative women’s brunch. It was for creatives like bloggers, artists, shop owners, photographers and many other female entrepreneurs.
The venue was right up my alley. Exposed brick and old chippy walls! It was held at The Nest in Birmingham. The perfect spot for a gathering like this. The wood table tops with the white metal chairs made my heart skip a beat.
The brunch was hosted by Natalie from 11th Thread and the name of the group is Dream Catchers South. So cool that dream catchers are so popular in décor right now too! She put this whole thing together to help and inspire creative women to chase their dreams!
She did a beautiful job on the table settings! The greenery just popped against the natural wood and white with a little sparkle from the mercury glass candle holders.
We each received our own mason jar of delicious Piper and Leaf tea that we got to take home with us. I love mason jars and they fit right in with the décor. Even better we got to sample from a local company.
There were so many incredible sponsors and creative women all pursuing their own small business goals (I’ll have a list at the bottom of this post for you to check them out)! They filled our goody bags with awesome samples and coupons. We also had a great speaker named Bill Todd, President of o2 Ideas. He really taught us a lot about marketing and stepping out with our ideas. Which leads me to a few updates for Hostessjo.com!
I’ve been wanting an updated design for the blog and I think its time to move over to WordPress. I keep hearing great things about it and I think it will be great for both you and I. So, I’m in the process of doing that. Hopefully everything will be good to go in May. I’ve also started my photography classes and really enjoying them. Reese’s room redo is complete so please check back for that!
Also, my husband and I have purchased a lot and will be building a spec home this summer! I’m so excited to pick out paint, flooring, lighting etc.! I’ll be blogging about all of our choices along the way and answering any questions you may have.
I’d love to hear from you about what you’d like to see more of on our new blog! More diy? Home décor? Crafts? Styling? Please send me an email or leave me a comment here!
If I left anyone off, please leave me a message and I’ll be happy to add you!

Look, look what I got!
I bought myself a swift in anticipation of having to wind a billion yards of laceweight for the shawls that I want to knit.
And look, look, it works!
It’s more dumpling-shaped than cake-shaped, but it’s definitely a center-pull ball. This is Sundara’s scrumptious silk lace, in one of her unrepeatable somewhat-solid colorways. You’ve seen this before, and I’m now almost positive it’s going to become a Print o’ the Wave stole for myself.
This was a hank of navy Merino Oro for the Myrtle leaf shawl and now…yuck. Even a swift can’t help you wind yarn that’s already gotten hopelessly tangled in the hank. So, despite my best efforts to avoid exactly this scenario, I will be winding 1375 yards of cobweb-weight yarn by hand. Assuming, of course, that I can get it untangled.
CogKnition posted this on March 10th, 2007 @ 11:34am in Knitting Goodies, Life as a Knitter, Yarn | Permalink to "A Swift Kick in the Pants"
Awesome! Can I send you a bag of horrendously tangled merino?
Now *that* would be a great service for knitters, don’t you think? Send them a bag of yarn and a bag of money, get back a nicely untangled, freshly-wound center-pull ball.
I had that tangle happen to me with a skein of Skacel Merino Lace (but it was my fault for not having a swift and not the skein’s). I usually like untangling yarn, until it got to hour 7 with the job still not finished.
