* 2018 fiscal year: 1st October 2017 to 30 September 2018 (f): forecast

  • Diversified and efficient production in fisheries, agriculture (40% of world production of natural rubber), industry (automobile, electronics, agri-foods) and services
  • Regional crossroads open to its dynamic neighbours
  • Strong external accounts
  • Diverse exports: tourism, agri-food products (rubber, seafood, rice, cane sugar, fruits), electronic components, computers and organic chemistry
  • High savings rate

  • Uncertain political situation and antagonism between rural and urban areas
  • Inadequate infrastructures
  • Ageing population and shortages of skilled labour
  • Mid-range positioning and lack of innovation
  • Enduring links between private sector and political milieus (corruption), underground economy
  • High level of household debt (79% of GDP)

Steady and moderate growth in 2018

The National Strategic Plan (2017-2036) places the emphasis on competitiveness through the development of rail, road, airport, and electricity infrastructures. Although the government hopes to attract foreign investors – for the Eastern Economic Corridor in particular –the big public investments in 2018 will likely rely solely on the state. Private investment, whether national or foreign, is likely to remain cautious. Exports of goods and services (71% of GDP) are set to perform well, with the slowdown in China being offset by the economic upturn in other markets.. The automobile sector is set to continue as the second biggest exporting sector, behind tourism.

The contribution of trade to growth is expected to remain slightly positive, despite the increase in imports of capital goods, intermediate products, and raw materials associated with the dynamism of public investment and industrial exports. Household consumption (half of GDP) should remain strong, reflecting the levels of real disposable income, and despite high indebtedness. Slightly higher inflation will likely be counterbalanced by the favourable impact on pay of strong employment and activity in most sectors. In addition, households are also set to continue benefitting from a relaxed budget policy with, specifically, the maintenance of VAT at 7% instead of 10%, at least until the 30th September 2018. Finally, the central bank is expected to hold its key lending rate at 1.5%. In terms of supply, services (55% of GDP), such as hotels, catering, transports, and telecommunications, will benefit from growing numbers of foreign visitors, and agriculture (10% of GDP and 30% of jobs) from growth in external markets. The construction sector will likely gain from the launch of large-scale transport infrastructure projects, although the situation will be more mixed for industry.

Resilient financial situation

Vigorous public investment, and, more generally, the accommodating budget policy in the run-up to an eventual election, is likely to lead to a slight increase in the public deficit. There is, however, room for manoeuvre, as tax revenues only amount to 18% of GDP. Public debt, more than 95% held by residents, will remain well below the 60% ceiling defined in the Constitution.

In external terms, the decline in the goods and services surplus (10% of GDP in 2017), caused by increasing imports, will impact on the current account surplus – although this will still remain substantial, as the former will continue to largely exceed the income deficit arising from the repatriation of dividends. Thai investments in other countries (ASEAN, USA and Europe) – both portfolio and direct – in hotels, retail, agri-foods, chemicals, and finance, exceed foreign investments into the country. However the surplus on the balance of payments will probably be large enough to supplement the currency reserves, which amount to approximately ten months of imports, and are greater than the external debt (31% of GDP), which is mainly supported by the private sector. The Thai baht is expected to hold steady against the dollar.

Elections delayed by the military

Since the May 2014 coup d’état, the nineteenth since democracy was adopted in 1932, General Prayuth Chan-o-cha, Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, heads the National Council for Peace and Order (the junta) and, as Prime Minister, an interim government consisting of a 35 member cabinet, a legislative assembly of 200 members, and a Reform Council of 250 members, dominated by the military. The adoption of a new Constitution in a referendum (61% of votes in favour) in August 2016 and its ratification in July 2017 by the new King Maha Vajiralongkorn could lead to parliamentary elections at the end of 2018 or in 2019, but not before the passing of ten organic laws. The new Constitution (twentieth since 1932) reduces the role of universal suffrage in the appointment of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will be appointed by an Assembly consisting of 500 elected members and a Senate of 250 members appointed by the military. He is then required to apply the National Strategic Plan which, in addition to improving infrastructures, includes strengthened security, the promotion of social equality, the development of human resources and those of the public sector. Royal powers have been increased – an illustration of the cooperation there is between the military and the king, who succeeded his father, Bhumibol Adulyadej, following a reign of over 70 years. Today, the king is a symbol of continuity and stability in a country that has lived through a large number of coups d’état. With the possible approach of elections, conflict – often used as a pretext by the army to intervene – between, on one side, (the “red shirts” (the rural population of the north, students and workers) and the “yellow shirts” (the royalists, nationalists and urban bourgeoisie of the south) could once again be ignited. The former are represented by the populist Pheu Thai Party, winner of all elections since 2001 and led in turn by the former Prime Ministers, Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra, brother and sister, removed in 2006 and 2014 and exiled to escape punishment. The latter are represented by the Democrat Party, conservative and liberal, generally unable to constitute a majority to form a government, but quick to foster street demonstrations in the capital.

Last update : January 2018

Credit transfer is the main form of payment used by large companies in Thailand. The majority of credit transfers are made electronically and the popularity of this payment method is growing as clearing systems have become more developed.

Cheques are still a popular form of cashless payment in terms of value. They are used by companies and consumers to make a wide range of payments. Post-dated cheques are a common mean of short-term credit.

Nevertheless, cash remains the dominant payment method in Thailand.

Debt collection

Amicable phase

According to the 2015 debt collection Act B.E. 2558 (A.D. 2015), the debtor is an individual person or personal guarantor. The Act was created to regulate collection activities carried out by creditors, or by collection agencies in cases of consumer debt. Commercial debt collection houses are also expected to follow the practices set out within the Act. For example, during the amicable phase, creditors can only communicate with the debtor or other persons as authorised by debtor. Creditors or collection agencies are also limited to identifying themselves with the details of debt to the debtor.

Legal proceedings

Thailand’s Judicial Court System comprises three levels:

• The Supreme Court. This is the highest court authority in the country. All of its decisions are final and must be executed. It hears appeals and contests against decisions made by the Courts of Appeal, Regional Courts of Appeals and Courts of First Instance.

• Courts of Appeal. These are divided into Courts of Appeal and Regional Courts of Appeal. Both handle appeals against the decisions or orders made by the lower courts.

• Courts of First Instance. These lower courts comprise the courts in Bangkok, courts in provinces, specialised courts and juvenile and family courts.

A preliminary stage of legal action can be conducted if there is failure to reach an amicable settlement with the debtor. This phase includes communications, negotiations, meetings with debtors, letters of demand and notifying the police in cases where there is a criminal penalty.

Ordinary proceedings

If the debtor fails to comply with demand notices, the creditor can file a claim with the Court, depending on the value of the debt:

- If the debt does not exceed THB 300,000 (Thai baht), the complaint must be lodged at the District or Provincial Court

- If the debt exceeds THB 300,000, the complaint must be filed at the Civil or Provincial Court.

Court policy is to screen unnecessary cases from court trial. Most Civil Courts have mediation centres for parties to negotiate and compromise on an arrangement. Once a case has been decided amicably, a compromise agreement is prepared and the court passes judgment in accordance. Each of the parties is responsible for documenting evidence and the burden of proof associated with their case. A judgement is made once the court has considered and weighed the evidence presented by both parties.

The time frame for proceedings with the Court of First Instance can take between one to three years.

Enforcement of a legal decision

If the debtor fails to comply with a domestic judgment, the creditor is entitled to apply for the execution of the judgment before the court. This can involve the issuance of an execution decree, delivery of an execution decree to the debtor, issuance of a writ of execution and the seizure and sale of property belonging to the debtor.

Thailand has no reciprocal recognition and enforcement agreements with other countries. Enforcing foreign judgments requires new legal proceedings, where the evidence will be considered and legal defence made available to both parties.

One exception is that Thailand is a signatory to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1985). International arbitration awards by member countries of the Convention can be enforced if they are already final.

Insolvency proceedings

Thailand has legislation on bankruptcy and reorganisation proceedings (Bankruptcy Act B.E 2483).

Reorganisation Proceedings
1. Limited Companies, Public Limited Companies and Financial Institutions (Large Enterprises)

A petition can be filed against an insolvent corporate debtor who owes one or more creditors a known sum of THB 10 million (USD 333,000) or more. Once the court has accepted the petition for further proceedings, it appoints a planner to prepare and submit a reorganisation plan to the official receiver within three months. The court may extend this period up to a maximum of two times, for one month from the publication date of the court order appointing the planner. Secured and unsecured creditors must then apply for payment of debts within one month from the date of publication of the order for appointment of the planner. Once the official receiver is in possession of the reorganisation plan, he will convene a meeting with the creditors to consider the proposal. If it is accepted, the court needs to approve it and confirm the appointment of the plan’s administrator. The latter is then responsible for the debtor company’s reorganisation, as set out within the plan.

2. SMEs registered with the Office of SME Promotions or other government agencies for conducting business

Petition can be filed against:

- insolvent individuals who owe one or more creditors a known sum of THB million Baht or more;

- insolvent limited partnerships, registered partnerships, non-registered partnerships, groups of persons or other juristic entities who owe one or more creditors a known sum of THB 3 million or more

- insolvent private limited companies owing one or more creditors a known sum of between THB 3 million and 10 million.

In cases such as these, the petitioner should file a petition, along with a proposed plan of not more than three years in length in execution.

Bankruptcy proceedings

A creditor can file a bankruptcy petition against a debtor if the latter is insolvent and owes one or more creditors a definitive sum of over THB 1 million (if the debtor is an individual), or owes more than two million Baht (if the debtor is a legal entity).

Once a petition for bankruptcy has been filed, the proceedings normally include hearing the witnesses, temporary receivership of the debtor’s property, the appointment of an official receiver, filing of claims for debt payments by creditors within two months from the publication date of the permanent receivership order, a bankruptcy order against the debtor (if no agreement can be reached with the creditors, issuance of a permanent receivership order, seizure of property, sale of property by public auction and pro rata distribution of the sale proceeds to creditors.

parents these days

. . . raising children in the United States now isn’t more dangerous than it was when today’s generation of parents were young. And back then, it was reasonably safe, too. So why does shooing the kids outside and telling them to have fun and be home by dark seem irresponsible to so many middle-class parents today?

from Stop worrying about your children!

It seems to me that parents these days are worried about things they shouldn’t be, and not worried enough about the things they should.

I remember growing up with basically a home range. This amounted to the distance I could cover on my bike and still be home by dark. As I remember it, I would regularly bike to my baseball games, bike and walk to school, bike to friends houses, the mall, the library, etc. Granted we lived in the suburbs, but still. That was a lot of busy roads and what amounted to basically a 10 square mile area.

Default Importing training packages into user groups

If the training packages used by a user group are external to the user group, then they must be present for trainees to be able to use the user group, and for the user group results to be viewed.

In other words, if the required external training packages are not present, then the user group may not be used by trainees, and the user group results may not be viewed.

Also, if the external training packages are inadvertently changed after the user group is created, or after the trainees have started their courses, then the subsequent training and results viewing may be affected.

To avoid these risks, it is often a good idea to import the training packages required by the courses in the user group, into the user group before adding the courses to the user group.

This also has the advantage that all aspects of the user group are contained in a single entity, which is convenient when creating backups of the user group, and exporting the user group to other machines.

Note: If there are multiple user groups involved in the study (e.g. at different sites) then it may be best to use external training packages during the study and then, after the study is completed, merge the user groups into a single user group and import the required external training material into that user group.

To import training packages into a user group:

1) Logon as a trainer.
2) Click "Training Admin" on the top menu.
3) Click "User Groups" on the left menu.
4) Select the user group.
5) Click the "Training packages" button.
6) Click the "Import" button.
7) Select the required training package or packages. To select more than one item use a combination of the Ctrl and Shift keys when clicking the items.
9) Click the "OK" button.

Focus Shift

by Donato

Sometimes I like to shift gears and make the focus of my paintings something other than a human, figure, or singular object.  It is always a challenge to weave an image about something as vague as 'time' or 'paranoia' into a commercial commission AND avoid placing a large face/head/body front and center to fulfill this concept.  Luckily I had a very open agenda while I was concepting for the 2015 A Song of Ice and Fire Calendar two years back which allowed for me to explore these deviations.

Below are two images which touched on these non-figurative issues for me.  My thanks once again to David Stevenson, the art director of Random House, for giving me the freedom to chase these fleeting moments inspired by George R.R. Martin's words.

Upcoming Workshop with Dan dos Santos

This July 15-17 I will be teaching a workshop in Seattle focusing on Illustrative Lighting and Color Theory

Have you ever asked yourself... 'Why doesn't my figure 'pop' off of the painting? Why do my skin tones always look so chalky? Why can't I seem to create more mood or drama in my pieces?'

In this upcoming workshop we will be focusing on problems like these, and discussing how we can use value and color to enhance the impact of an image, as well as create a greater sense of mood, depth and realism.

During this 3-Day workshop, students will learn basic lighting techniques and color theory, giving them a much deeper understanding of how light actually works. We will also discuss how we can use this deeper understanding of light to paint more convincing skin tones, or achieve a greater sense of realism when painting from imagination.

Topics covered will include:

  • Basic Value Theory

  • Basic Color Theory

  • Color Keys

  • Portrait Lighting Techniques

  • Stage/Theatrical Lighting Techniques

  • Creating Believable & Unconventional Skin Tones

Students will implement theses new techniques in their own work as they paint alongside the instructor.

Class size is extremely limited to just 14 students, and are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is no prerequisite class or skill level required for this workshop, and all mediums (including digital) are welcome.

More information and registration specifics can be found here: http://www.tlcworkshops.com

And now for some really cool news...

Daniel Chang, Founder and Owner of 'Vintage Magic' is generously offering a FREE, FULL-PAID TUITION to this workshop for one lucky student!

All you need to do to be eligible is to apply, show 3 examples of your work, and write a short statement about what you hope to get from this workshop in particular. More info about this scholarship can be found HERE.

Exercise & Nutrition: Tips from Katie Perry, RDN

11:06 AM

A healthy lifestyle begins in the grocery store, and when you're ramping up your exercise in addition to dieting, it's important to take in proper nutrients while expelling those extra calories. Read on for low-fat nutrition tips that will fuel you to the finish line.

Plan ahead
GBMC Registered Dietitian Katie Perry recommends having a plan before food shopping. Since working out takes time away from your planning, cooking and shopping, having a list of healthy meals and snacks to keep you on track is crucial. Committing to buying only the items on your list can help you bypass impulse purchases and ensure healthy ingredients will be on hand. Whatever you do, don't grocery shop when you're hungry. Shopping on an empty stomach can lead you to indulge your cravings and make poor choices. Have a protein and fiber-filled snack before leaving home to help you avoid tempting treats. Try veggie sticks and hummus, a piece of fruit or a serving of Greek yogurt to hold you over.

Navigating the aisles
Start by shopping the outer aisles of the store, which are a safe bet for locating the more natural, whole foods that your store carries. This is where you'll find fresh produce, dairy and deli. Steer clear of the bakery, though! Your goal should be to buy and eat food in its most natural state so that it provides you with maximum nutrition. Most foods found in the inner aisles – cereal, chips, crackers, cookies, granola bars, candy and soda – contain highly-processed ingredients and added sugars.
However, there are a few worthwhile aisles to venture down for shelf-stable sources of nutrients. Explore the frozen aisle for fruits and veggies that are flash-frozen, which preserves freshness. Stock up on carrots, broccoli, or whatever veggie blends appeal to you. Combine them with a protein for a quick meal. Choose no-sugar-added frozen blueberries and strawberries for adding natural sweetness, fiber and antioxidants to a smoothie.

The canned food aisle can be tricky: go for canned tuna in water (not oil) and canned beans with no salt added. These foods are an easy way to add extra protein to a salad or wrap. Try to stay away from pre-packaged soups, sauces and condiments, which can be full of hidden sodium and sugar. A can of vegetable soup could have 1,300 milligrams of sodium; you want less than 140 milligrams per serving. A cup of tomato sauce can add up to more than 20 grams of sugar; you want less than six grams per serving.

Understand labels
Investigate food labels carefully to be sure you have an accurate grasp of serving size, which is located at the top of the label. Sometimes a food will seem a lot less healthy when you realize it is meant to be consumed in two or three servings instead of one. Look for foods that have a protein value higher than the amount of fat per serving. Examples include skinless turkey breast, black beans and part-skim mozzarella.

Quality, not quantity
Rather than focusing on the total amount of calories, pay attention to the quality of those calories. For example, Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla Greek Yogurt has 120 calories, while Dannon Light & Fit Greek NonFat Vanilla Yogurt has only 80 for the same 5.3-ounce serving. However, the Oikos has fiber (six grams as opposed to zero in the Dannon) and more protein (15 grams as compared to 12). The additional fiber and protein will keep you fuller longer, making those extra calories pay off.

Supplements, shakes and bars
When life leaves you without time to prepare a midday snack or meal, Perry says its acceptable to reach for an energy bar or shake, as long as you're making good choices. Choose a protein-packed bar (she recommends Quest) or powder (she recommends Isopure, Nectar, and Chike) that contains less than 200 calories per serving and lists whey protein isolate as the first ingredient. Mix your shake with water, skim milk or unsweetened soy or almond milk.

After a high intensity workout of 30 minutes to an hour during which you are sweating and/or breathing heavily, it can be helpful to replenish your electrolytes. Avoid sugary sports drinks and fruit juices. Perry recommends Powerade Zero or Gatorade Zero. You can also try an electrolyte tablet called nuun, which is easy to keep in a purse or desk drawer and add to any bottle of water.
In addition to protein, make sure that your active lifestyle includes enough of the electrolytes potassium, calcium and magnesium. Low-fat food sources of these nutrients include leafy greens, fish, beans, yogurt and dried fruit.

As June's 5K gets closer and the weather warms up, you'll likely find yourself perspiring more and losing liquid at a higher rate. Replenish with water before, during and after your training to stay hydrated. Remember that exercising makes you hungrier, so reach for water before filling up on snacks for more satiety and then go for nutrient-dense, high-protein, high-fiber foods.

Default Re: CD/DVD drive won't read CD-R but...

Maybe it's just going bad. I'm not an expert with them. I usually just do the simple analysis to see if that solves the problem. If it persists someone else can get right on it. Fortunately, if it comes down to buying a new one, they're relatively cheap.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a New York law firm nationally recognized for its consumer protection and mass tort practices, reports that on June 19, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) sent a warning letter to Pfizer, criticizing the company for downplaying or omitting serious Zmax side effects in a promotional brochure.  Pfizer manufactures the popular antibiotic Zmax, commonly known as Zithromax or Z-Pak.  According to the FDA letter, the brochure:

  • Omits and minimizes important risk information;
  • Makes unsubstantiated superiority claims;
  • Omits material facts;
  • Broadens the indication for drug use;
  • Makes misleading efficacy claims; and
  • Makes unsubstantiated claims for Zmax.

The FDA also noted that the company presented the limited risks and warnings in the brochure in a misleadingly minimizing format by placing Zithromax risks in obscure locations, in block paragraph format without headings or signifiers to bring to the attention of the reader.

Misleading Brochure Omits Possible Zmax Side Effects

Moreover, the FDA determined that the brochure fails to warn readers about the risk of Zithromax heart risks, such as QT prolongation, which may cause cardiac arrhythmia and torsades de pointes, potentially fatal heart problems.  Another Zithromax risk left out in the brochure is a serious allergic reaction called Stevens-Johnson syndrome (“SJS”).  Other misleading claims and omitted facts include the inaccurate suggestion that Zithromax is a more effective antibiotic in dosage and that the drug can treat a broader array of ailments than it is approved to treat.

The FDA has ordered Pfizer to stop distributing the Zithromax brochure and required a response from the company by July 3, 2012.  A Pfizer official stated that the company stopped using the brochure prior to receiving the FDA notice.

Zmax side effects have been the center of mounting concern after a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine on May 17, 2012 found an increased risk of sudden death from cardiac events in patients taking azithromycin, especially those already suffering from a cardiovascular condition.  At that time, the FDA announced that it would launch its own investigation into Zithromax risks and communicate its findings upon completion.  Pfizer conducted its own review of Zithromax risks on May 21, 2012.

The lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are currently investigating claims on behalf of individuals who experienced Zithromax side effects.  Individuals who experienced Zmax side effects such as heart problems may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and other injuries.  To learn more about Zithromax lawsuits, watch this Zmax side effects video or visit our website,

Our Cool Congregations Start-up Kits walk you through the process of becoming a Cool Congregation. The program is flexible and is different for every congregation. In some cases, one or two individuals are interested in starting a program in their congregation, but they soon find it’s easier for them to start in their own homes. In other cases, a congregation’s green team may wish to start a program within the congregation first, and then do a home program. There is no one size fits all. The important thing is to start somewhere with the confidence that there is ample guidance from those within the Cool Congregations community to help you along the way.

Once you’re under way with your program, you can learn about how to enter our Cool Congregations Challenge in one of four areas: energy efficiency, renewable energy, grounds & water conservation; and/inspiring people at home. Your state Interfaith Power & Light affiliate can help.

The acne scars and the acne should never be ignored and delaying in treatment will never solve the problem, it must be treated to save your skin from developing bigger problems.

You don’t have to travel to a pharmacy to get any medication that has been prescribed to you by a doctor. Using an online drug store, you can order for any medication of your choice. There are many online drug stores out there, which makes choosing the best one even more challenging. Healthcare is a sensitive and important aspect of every society, which makes it even more imperative that you buy drugs only from a trusted online drug store. Let’s take a look at some important things you should put into consideration when choosing the best online drug store.

Privacy standards

Online drug stores are different from any other drug stores, since you don’t get to meet the pharmacist, before placing the order. This makes it imperative that you choose a drug store that has the highest privacy standards for their customers. Sensitive information about your health status will be shared with the online drug store in most cases, so you need to be sure that the store will not share this information with a third party, without your consent. Confidentiality is important when providing such information to anyone on the Internet. This simply means you need to take the time to check the online store carefully, just so you know what they think about the privacy of information provided to them. The ideal online drug store should have such information clearly indicated on their website.

Customer testimonials

When it comes to buying drugs or anything online, you want to buy things that works. You can leverage on the information provided by other clients to take your final decision the best online drug store to choose. The testimonials provided by other buyers will tell you a lot about the online store. You can get information about the quality of medications sold by the drug store, the privacy standards used by the online drug store etc. If many people are satisfied with what the drug store offer, then chances are that you will also have same experience when you buy from them. So it is relevant that you check the customer testimonials section on their website before placing your order.

Availability of free shipping and free pills

Although online shopping comes with lots of advantages including the ability to order for anything from any location of your choice. All you need is a computer or mobile device that is connected to the Internet. You also have to pay for shipping, when you place your order. The ideal online drug store should have shipping discounts and other incentives, which will encourage people to buy from them. The ideal drug store should have free shipping on certain order amounts. When looking for the best online drug store with high quality, affordable medications, and global footprint, you can simply order from the PharmacyMall at

Weekly Update: 6/18-6/23

This has been quite a week. I imagined it being very relaxing- a week where I can finally get some things I needed to get done (like grocery shopping), but I didn't even make it to the store until Thursday!

We made 2 trips to Atlanta (had to go to IKEA twice- I'll post about that next week), picked up my sewing machine, went to the outlets in Commerce, got a new roof Friday, my parents came to visit Saturday, and Luke came down with a fever and ringworm Friday. Phew. This was also Luke's last week of school , and as nice as it is to be able to run errands and do things I need to do, he has totally become my buddy and I miss him when he's at school.

I have already planned a really fun summer for us as we are home. I have a schedule set up that will hopefully keep the boredom away. I have chosen books and art projects that correspond. I have set up times for us to walk at the park, and when we'll watch TV. I am really hoping this will keep us on track, because we both drive each other crazy when we have nothing to do! We are also traveling ALOT in July, so I think it'll keep us on our toes, while not getting too bored with our schedule!

Other exciting things are happening in our lives as well. Things we've been praying about for a loooong time. I am so loving this season of life that we're in!

Life Update: June Part 2

The end of June is one of my favorite times of the year- besides Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and the early days of Spring, and the first of Fall.... I guess I love alot of the year. But I feel like June isn't too hot, we've settled well into summer, we're grilling out alot, and it's the perfect time to get some sun.

We finally got outside one evening and played with the glow-in-the-dark bubbles Nana sent. Luke had a blast:

He is still a train boy and on any given day my hallway looks like this:
What's even more impressive? 95% of his tracks are built by him with no assistance. He amazes me with some of the designs he builds.

We packed up and headed to the zoo one day last week. It was a surprise to Luke so of course our first stop was McD's:

WARNING..... if you're not a fan of reptiles (like yours truly) close your eyes as you scroll......

I warned you!
Every snake is better off dead in my opinion...

Other than that we've pretty much just been hanging around the house...

doing science experiments:
playing in the water:
with friends!
Terrible focus but great photo!
We're also grilling... alot!
Sweet girl had her first smile this month (she was just shy of 6 weeks old):
and we went swimming with our friends Andrew and Brittany!

We're still job hunting and excited about what July holds!

Google Sites--did you know there was such a thing??!

I have just found the most amazing way to mainstream what my kinder littles see when they get on the computers.  The kids usually have about 10+ steps they need to remember before finally getting onto the computer to play academic games like starfall, megamath and big universe.  This is such a process when it comes to a five year old on the computer,

Now I know that there are some people who somehow, I swear it takes some magical power that I don't have, get their kindergarten students to flawlessly get on, logged in and engaged with an activity in a realistic amount of time (less than two minutes)...but let's be real, it is still a learning process to even log on at this point.

Well I have a solution -- GOOGLE SITES -- Google, is blowing my mind when it comes to all of their capabilities.  I am loving Google drive, blogger, maps, you tube, gmail and now sites!  I created my new website in about two hours, which I thought was pretty quick because I created all of the images for each page from the beautiful clip art I already own.

Now, I have a home page that includes one link for students to click and get to the links that we use daily.  This page only includes links that we use for academics.  It is a one stop shop for literacy and math.  My new page also includes our school calendar, information about me, our curriculum benchmarks and a news page, which is helpful for parents too.

I am pumped about this new site!  Check out Google will seriously open your eyes to an easy way to create a website, accessible for kindergarten students.

Check out my page, feel free to use it in your classroom too!

Click the image to go to my site

  1. Nice job on the Google site creation! Getting kids to the web sites you want them to visit a particular web page can be a real challenge - especially with kids that young. I just started working with google sites this year as part of our tech club. Our 3rd and 4th graders have created their own pages to house all of our projects.
    They are enjoying it.

    Math is FunDamental

  2. So glad you found Google Sites useful! We had some difficulty with it (from the kid perspective of building a site) and went to other resources. Your kinder site is great and so visually appealing! I love the border and button images! Great way to manage the "littles" of the world! Will be sharing with the kinder-friends in my building! Thanks, again!

Translation state (CTD 1.1)

Hello everyone,

I'd like to inform you that the current translation keys and values are mainly stable for the 1.1 branch. It's safe to translate now because there will be only rare changes from now on.

All the game and website translations have been updated to the state of 1.1 RC19. I will also tidy up the list of translators soon, removing inactive translators from the translation editor.

Think it, design it, build it, run it. That's what I do.

text: TITLE: Two Thumbs Up for "On the Road for Education" AUTHOR: Eugene Wallingford DATE: October 27, 2009 6:57 AM DESC: ----- BODY: I don't usually advertise much in this space, but I have to put in a positive word for the On the Road for Education marathon, which I ran this weekend. Actually, the event is a set of races: a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K. They are organized as a fundraiser for Mason City's parochial school system. I signed up for this race in large part because it let me keep my options open as late as possible. I started training late and wasn't sure I'd be ready for an October marathon. On the Road for Education was later than most midwest marathons, October 25, and had a late early registration date. It also was less expensive than other, better-known races. All of these added up to an attractive package for an unsure trainer. They also left me uncertain; I had no idea what to expect from the race or organization. This was a great little marathon. It is super small by the standard of most well-known marathons these days. This year, 78 men and 25 women finished, with only one runner who started not finishing. Add in the 101 half-marathoners, 35 10K runners, and 78 5K runners, and the event is still super small. That creates an intimate setting, as well as an opportunity to run a lot of the race solo. The trimmings of the race were all good and better than I hoped: In addition, the race hotel was excellent and happy to serve the runners from out of town. The one risk you face with this race is one the organizers cannot control: the weather. The last weekend of October in northern Iowa can be dicey. We were lucky, with temps in the 40s F. and clouds to keep the heat down at the end of the race. This was the 11th year for the On the Road for Education marathon. These folks have experience putting on a race, and it showed. I give it two two thumbs up and recommend it highly for an intimate, personal marathon experience. If you want the experience of a "spectacle marathon", look elsewhere. This one isn't about tens of thousands of spectators or bands playing at every mile. It's about the run. One final warning: don't expect a course built for PRs. Eleven of the miles were net climbs, with steep rises during miles 6, 7, and 21. Eleven of the miles were net drops, and the rest of the course is flat. But even that is deceptive. Miles 15-19 show as flat on the course elevation map, but they were in a nature area. They might be net neutral, but they undulate throughout. This makes for interesting running! Just don't expect a flat Iowa course and an easy PR. -----

Frequently Asked Questions 2018-04-21T02:33:21+00:00

Frequently Asked Questions about Pet Sitting Services

How do you determine your service area? 2018-03-05T23:18:49+00:00

Our service area includes homes within a 10 driving mile radius of the home office or any of our pet sitters. Sometimes, we will include homes that are just outside of this area for a small gas surcharge. However, all final decisions about inclusion in our service area will be at the discretion of Cuddles on Call.

Do you board pets? 2018-03-05T23:17:51+00:00

We do not board pets at our facilities, but we will provide regular visits with your pets in your home according to your individual needs which is more convenient for you and less stressful for your pets.

If you are keeping my keys on file and I move or discontinue service, how will I get my key back? 2018-03-05T23:17:07+00:00

We will be glad to mail your keys if we have them on file with us. We can also arrange for them to be dropped off for a trip fee of $15.

What do you do if I forget to leave enough food or litter for my pet(s)? 2018-03-05T23:16:21+00:00

If this happens, we will give you a phone call to notify you that there is not enough food, and you can let us know if you have more food in another location in your home. If there is not, never fear, we can make a special trip to purchase more food or litter. There will, however, be a $10 trip fee plus the cost of the supplies.

If I leave later than expected or return early, will I receive a refund or credit? 2018-03-05T23:15:53+00:00

No, unfortunately, we have scheduled time for your visits and have potentially turned down other clients to allow time these appointments.

What is your cancellation policy? 2018-03-05T23:15:18+00:00

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy for all visits not including a holiday. Please call, text or e-mail us within 24 hours before your service if you need to cancel in order to incur no cancellation fees. Cancellations less than 24 hours before your service are subject to a 100% cancellation fee.

There is a separate cancellation policy for holiday bookings because of high demand for these dates. We require 10 days notice of cancellation to receive a full refund for bookings including a holiday date. Holidays include: New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. Cancellations made between between 10 and 7 days before the start of service are subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellations made less than 7 days before the start of service are subject to a 100% cancellation fee.

How is payment handled? 2018-03-05T23:14:46+00:00

We accept debit and credit cards only. For new clients, full payment is due at the initial consultation. For repeat clients, payment is due 1-3 days before the date of the first visit (10 days before visits including a holiday).

Do you charge a holiday fee? 2018-03-05T23:14:21+00:00

Yes, we charge a holiday fee of $5 per visit on the following holidays: New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. This is a way for us to reward our pet sitters who are working during the holidays.

What happens when there is severe weather? 2018-03-05T23:13:01+00:00

In the event that your Cuddles on Call pet sitter is unable to reach your home due to severe weather with impassible roads, we will contact a nearby friend/relative (whom you have provided to us), and request that they take over care of your pets in our absence until we can resume service again. We will do everything we can to make sure your pet is taken care of in emergency situations like these, and we will keep you continually updated of these developments as they happen.

Are you insured and bonded? 2018-03-05T23:12:24+00:00

Yes. We are insured and bonded through Mourer and Foster. Proof of insurance is available upon request.

May I give my pet sitter / dog walker a gratuity? 2018-03-05T23:11:21+00:00

Absolutely. You may leave a gratuity for the sitter at your home, or you may add it to your debit or credit card payment. Gratuities are never expected, but always appreciated.

If I am leaving town very soon and don’t have time for a consultation, will you take care of my pets without meeting them first? 2018-03-05T23:09:54+00:00

I’m sorry, but we do not take care of pets without meeting them first. However, if we have availability, we can try to work with you to set up an immediate consultation so that we can start our pet sitting services right away. We will make every effort to work with your schedule, even in last minute situations.

What information will you need at the initial meet and greet? 2018-03-05T23:09:16+00:00

Prior to the consultation, you will need to fill out all the profiles listed in our online software (you will be provided with a link to this in our initial communications), and have them ready for us. Doing so will provide us with all of the information we need up front, which will allow us to spend all of our time getting to you know you and your wonderful pets!

We also will need you to provide us with 2 keys: one for your pet sitter and another to be kept in in the main office or with your backup sitter. All keys are labeled with the pets’ names only and locked in a safe when not in use for your protection.

What experience do you have with pets? 2018-03-05T23:05:29+00:00

All our team members have pets of their own. Our team has plenty of professional pet experience as well. Many have veterinary experience, dog training experience, and pet fostering experience. Additionally, our team is certified in pet first aid and CPR. Every team member is extremely caring, compassionate, and shares a deep love for pets. And, above all, we will go above and beyond to keep your pet healthy and happy while you are away.

How many visits a day do you provide? 2018-03-05T23:04:18+00:00

That is largely up to you. For dogs, we recommend a minimum of 2 visits per day. Although, many people prefer to have 3 or more visits depending on their dog’s needs (We recommend more visits for smaller breeds as well as younger and older dogs).

For cats and other small animals, we require a minimum of 1 visit per day for the entirety of the time you are away. We cannot skip days with any pets in our care. We are very concerned about the safety of your pets, and something could happen to your pet on the day that we do not see them (they could become suddenly ill, their collar might get caught on something, they can get trapped behind something or inside an enclosed space, etc). And many situations could turn serious if not caught quickly enough. Which is why, for the safety of your pet and our own peace of mind, we must see them on a daily basis while you are away. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

What hours do you provide services? 2018-02-26T23:52:55+00:00

Our pet sitting visits are done between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm, and dog walking is done between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. Other times can be arranged as well, though. Please call if you need special accommodations.

If my pet makes a mess, will you clean it up? 2018-02-26T23:52:23+00:00

Yes, we would be happy to clean any pet messes in your home to the best of our ability free of charge using cleaning products you provide. We will make every effort to clean all messes during the scheduled pet sitting time slot. However, if the mess will take longer than our appointment to clean, our pet sitter will contact you so you can decide if you would like the pet sitter to stay longer to finish cleaning for a reasonable fee.

Can you give me updates on how my pet is doing while I’m gone? 2018-02-26T23:50:48+00:00

Absolutely! Included in all of our pet sitting services is a daily update on your pet’s well-being while you are away! We would be happy to give your updates by phone, e-mail, or text based on your preference. Included in this update is a picture or video of your pet(s) and a paragraph or so about how great your pet is doing while you’re away.

What do you do on a visit? 2018-01-23T06:35:07+00:00

On each visit to your home we will spend lots of quality time with your pet(s) and take care of your home as well. Each visit includes: lots of love for each pet, play time, petting, brushing (if they like it), feeding, fresh water, dog walk, kitty litter scooped, cage cleaned (if applicable), medication given (if needed), mail and paper brought in, indoor plants watered, and lights and blinds rotated.

Why should I use a Cuddles on Call pet sitter instead of a kennel? 2018-01-23T06:34:32+00:00

In a kennel environment, your pet is exposed to illness from other animals, gets very little time outside of their cage, and receives very little if any personal attention. Pets experience a great deal of stress when they have to leave their homes for an unfamiliar, noisy, cramped kennel. Many will not even eat because they are so stressed!

However, with a Cuddles on Call pet sitter, your pet can avoid all this stress by staying in their own home where they are familiar, secure, and can follow their regular routine. Plus, they get long walks outside, and plenty of love, cuddles, and sweet talk! And, as a bonus to all that, your home will be taken care of while you are gone and will look lived in (which will deter break ins).

For more info on this please see our detailed comparison of Pet Sitting vs. Kennels here.
