Pink Ballerina Room- A Bedroom Makeover

A LONG time ago, I mentioned I was in the process of re-doing my daughter's room.  Well, I finally have finished what I started, and even got around to taking and editing pictures!

When my daughter graduated from her crib and moved into a "big-girl bed", we painted her room over from the pale baby yellow it had been to a neutral off-white that we intended to spice up with some more decor.  Over the years, we never did much with the room, except for when I got tired of looking at the bare walls and cut out some vinyl polka dots to put on her room.  She loved pink, so I bought her pink and brown bedding and that was about it.

Now that she's older, I wanted her to have a room that she loved.  She still loves pink, and when I asked her what kind of room she wanted, she quickly told me she wanted a ballerina room.  So, without further ado, here is the transformation from blah to beautiful.

This second picture is a much better indicator of the color.  Isn't it amazing how paint color can change based on the time of day and even the direction of the light?  I wanted a very soft ballet pink, since she already had cotton-candy pink bedding.  Anything darker would have been overpowering in her room.  I love the color- it's perfect for a ballerina room!

Here are a few shots that show you the difference:

Can you see how dirty the walls were?  That's what happens when you push the bed up against the wall, let your three kids play like crazy, and only give them a token cleaning every once in a while.  It's amazing what just a simple new coat of paint can do for a room.

Now, here are some of the projects I completed in the room.  I'll go into more detail on these projects next week.  First of all, my husband helped me build this gorgeous Name Wall Art, inspired by one I saw here:

Next, I finished the plaque I made at The Glitter Academy, which I showed you here, and got it hung on the wall opposite her bed.

I'm a bit in love with the idea I came up with for her main wall.  I knew I wanted some way to display her old ballet shoes.  I saw an idea where someone had displayed shoes on clips hanging on the wall, so I took it a step further and displayed them on a faux ballet barre.  The framed picture we already had from Hobby Lobby.  I love the way it turned out.

Here's a close-up of the barre:

 My husband doesn't like the dirty shoes hanging in the pristine room, but I think it's a great reminder of all the work she's put into becoming the little ballerina that she is.

This next picture is actually two different projects.  I made the Ballet Subway Art print and framed it for her dresser.  It's next to a thrift store lamp that I gave a quick and easy makeover to.  The "Princess" is my daughter's addition- she wouldn't let me get rid of it from our old decor.

 I also made this Tulle Wreath and set one of her favorite dolls inside it.  I liked the wreath when I made it but it is too white for the room.  All our trim, doors, ceilings, etc. are "Country White", not real white, which I forgot.  So, the wreath sits on her desk, for now.

 At the foot of her bed, I bought a basket to corral all her library books.  She's only in second grade, but I cannot stop my daughter from reading.  She even gets into trouble at school for reading when she's supposed to be paying attention.  While I don't appreciate THAT, this book-loving mama is proud to see the love of books alive in her little girl!

 There are some other things I kept the same.  If you look in the pictures you can see her bubble valance, a chair rail-turned-art keeper, an old leotard paired with a framed embroidery, and a rack to hold her bags and jackets.  I didn't change any of that.

Someday soon, my sweet girl will probably outgrow pink and ballerinas, but until then, she has a room that is truly HER, and she loves that everything in was made just for her.

I'm linking up to some of these parties- come check them out with me!

  1. I love it! It cracks me up that Marcus doesn't like the dirty shoes (I have to admit, it was actually my first thought when I saw the picture too - can't change that internal wiring I guess!). But your explanation is perfect...she has put in a lot of work to get those shoes so dirty...she should celebrate it! So sorry we don't get to see you guys at Thanksgiving...it would have been fun to let the kids play while we shopped! Have a great Thanksgiving with your family!

Hello friends! Today I’m talking about the new Pacifica Crystal Matrix eyeshadow palette that I was lucky enough to win in an instagram giveaway. I’m not usually a huge eyeshadow wearer, but I’ve been getting much more interested in makeup lately so this came at just the right time. Have you seen this palette yet? It has 10 shades, all of them with a shimmer finish (so you shine like a crystal, or something like that). I was a little iffy about the shimmer finish of them all, probably due to flashbacks of when I first started wearing makeup in high school and had no idea how to do it, and would usually top off my look with a mountain of glitter. Because, you know, mid 2000s fashion was fantastic. (or not)

Pacifica Crystal Matrix Eye Shadow Palette Review & Look | Odessa Darling

At first glance, this is a very cute lil palette. It’s small and simple, which is good for someone like me who isn’t looking anything too elaborate. I like the holographic crystals in the background, playing off of the whole unicorn-magic-beauty theme going on lately. There’s a nice variety in the shades: several neutrals, a deep green, a few purples. It As I mentioned, all 10 shades have a shimmer finish, which is more apparent when applied to my eyes than it is in the swatches. The package describes this palette as “highly pigmented mineral eye shadows in a range of your new super wearable favorite colors”. Fair enough! These shades are pretty basic, but not boring.

I love that the shadows are vegan and cruelty free, as well as formulated with pretty clean ingredients (depending on how you view mineral makeup). This palette retails for 17.99.

1. Affected 2. Spaced out 3. Faceted 4. Prism 5. Comet

6. Reflector 7. Mars 8. Stolen Stars 9. Meteor 10. Ice

When the package says highly pigmented, I expected it to be… well… highly pigmented. It is not. Even the deep green, dark brown, and plum colors, which appear pretty pigmented on the swatches, start to melt away once you begin to blend. I had to layer a lot to get the following look, as the deep brown I was applying in my crease kept disappearing. My favorite shade is the white in the top left corner, which, when applied, actually is an iridescent pinky shade. It reminds me of a beautiful Mac shadow I used to use in high school for the same purpose (brightening the inner corners). I left this on for a few hours, but my eyes started to get itchy, so I removed it and didn’t get to see how long lasting it is. This is my first time using mineral eyeshadow, so I’m not sure if my eyes didn’t like one of the ingredients, or if I possibly got a little too close on the lower lash line. I don’t have a problem with mineral powder foundation, so it’s hard to say.

I ended up liking this more than I anticipated! It’s a nice, natural look that I wouldn’t feel too over-the-top for work. The shimmer finish didn’t end up being too much, and the shades blended together nicely (if not a little too nicely, as the powder starts to disappear). As I mentioned, I did have to apply several layers before the color popped, but that just makes it a little easier to avoid overdoing it.

I used the shade Faceted all over my lid, followed by Mars as a darker shade in the crease. Like I said, it kept melting away, so I ended up using the shade Spaced Out to deepen the outer corners of my eye. I went all over with Prism, then brightened the inner corners and under the brows with Comet.

I don’t love this palette, but there are a few shades I like enough to continue to use, namely Comet and Prism. If I hadn’t received this, I probably wouldn’t have purchased it, but I am happy I have it. If you’re looking for a good basic palette for natural every day looks, I think this would probably be a great choice for you. If you’re looking for something that really packs a punch, in pigment and colors, then probably not for you.

Pot-luck dinner

Dinners like this are great as they are informal and a great way to catch up over the holiday season, writes Alison Lambert.

Keeping the food casual and simple is the secret. I have included a mixed bag of recipes which will assist nicely for any time of the day or night!

Photos: Simon Lambert

Leftover pie

The idea behind this pie is to use up leftover roast veges, salad bits and bobs, etc.

Serves 8-10

4½ cups all-purpose flour, more for dusting
¾ cup olive oil, more for greasing
½ tsp salt

3 cups leftover roast vegetables (potatoes, kumara, pumpkin, carrots etc), roughly chopped
1 cup leftover cooked greens (broccoli, spinach, kale, asparagus)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 red and yellow capsicum, seeded and cut into medium strips
2 onions, thinly sliced
20 olives, pitted olives
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 Tbsp parsley, roughly chopped
100g feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Begin by making the pastry, by combing the flour with 1½ tsp salt.

Pour in the oil and mix with your hands, slowly add approximately ⅔ cup of cold water. Only add 1-2 tablespoon water at a time as you may not need it all. You are wanting a dough that is pliable, stretchy and soft, not crumbly!

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180degC.

Cut the leftover roast vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

Roughly cut up any greens and add to the bowl.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan and saute off the onion, garlic and capsicums and cook for 5 minutes.

Add to the roast vegetable mixture.

Add the olives, thyme, parsley and feta cheese, season with salt and cracked pepper. Stir to combine.

Dust a work surface lightly with flour. Roll dough into a 40-by-30cm rectangle. With long side facing you, spread vegetable mixture evenly over right half of dough.

Dab edges of dough with water. Fold left half over filling and pinch edges firmly to seal. Using knife, cut a slit in center of crust, pulling back edges slightly over the top layer and seal tightly.

Transfer crust to baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden brown.

Cool for 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Pot-luck prawns

Prawns are always a bit of treat for us over here but they do make an easy and refreshing option for a pot-luck dinner. These prawns are best made the day before so they really get to marinate.

Serves 6

2 Tbsp salt
3 Tbsp sugar
2 fresh bay leaves
24 raw prawns, shelled
1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
¼ tsp fennel seeds
3 lemons, juice and 1 lemon, zested
¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
¾ cup olive oil
sea salt flakes and cracked pepper

In a large bowl, add the chopped spring onions, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, lemon juice, zest and olive oil.

Bring 1 litre of water to the boil with the salt and sugar.

Add the prawns, turn off the heat, cover and let the prawns sit for 3 minutes. Drain and add to the oil mixture, season with a little salt and cracked pepper. Let cool completely.

Store in the fridge in non-reactive container and ensure the prawns are completely submerged in the oil. Best to let them marinate for at least 8 hours before eating.

To serve these prawns you are best to eat them straight from the marinade and mop up the juices with good bread.

Will last, if submerged, for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.

Cashew cheese with garden veges

Keeping it light and fresh with a simple go-to snack plate. Regarding the vegetables, this is up to you as you may have your favourites. Crackers and bread can be added to spread this delicious cashew mixture on.

Serves 6-10

Cashew cheese
2 cups cashew nuts, soaked in cold water 4-6 hrs
2 cloves organic garlic
½ cup filtered water
2-4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, extra for drizzling
sea salt to taste

6 spring onions, trimmed
6 stalks celery, cut into long lengths
10 radishes, cut in half if large
12 baby carrots, 1 cucumber, cut into rounds

Begin by making the cashew cheese.

Drain and rinse the cashew nuts.

Put all ingredients into blender and blend well, scrape down the sides and continue to blend, as you want a creamy, light texture.

Put into desired bowl, cover and chill until required.

Prepare the vegetables by washing them, peeling, cutting or whatever you may need to do to make them edible.

Arrange the vegetables on a large plate.

Drizzle over a little more olive oil and a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of the cashew cheese. Serve alongside the crunchy, seasonal vegetables.

Fresh summer strawberry cake

Cakes are always a welcome addition to any dinner party and whilst the strawberries are sweet and in abundance make the most of them. This cake is simple to prepare and always goes down a treat.

Serves 10-12

2 large eggs
200g sugar
230g sour cream
100ml light olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g white flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
500g strawberries, hulled, cut thick rounds/slices

Grease a 20cm springform cake tin lightly with butter and line with baking paper.

Preheat the oven 180degC.

Prepare the strawberries, by removing the green part and slice them thickly, some in half and some in rounds and set aside.

Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl of a mixer and mix on high until thick and pale.

Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat well to combine.

Keeping the beater going, slowly drizzle in the oil until well incorporated.

Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix gently until just combined.

Remove from the mixer and gently mix a few times with a spatula.

Spread half the cake mix into your prepared tin and scatter over half the strawberries. Spread over the remaining mix and finish with remaining strawberries.

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Cool for 15 minutes before removing from the tin.

Fabulous with freshly whipped cream.

What If Heroes Were Not Welcome Home?

  • Family-friendly
  • Teachers

This poignant exhibit examines the prejudice that Japanese American veterans from Hood River, Oregon experienced upon their return home from serving our country in World War II. These American citizens served heroically with the United States Armed Forces in the South Pacific and in Europe, yet many of their families were unjustly incarcerated in concentration camps on American soil.

Curated by Linda Tamura and Marsha Matthews, What If Heroes Were Not Welcome Home? was originally displayed at the Oregon Historical Society in Portland in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibition "American Heroes: Japanese American World War II Nisei Soldiers and the Congressional Gold Medal." The Medal, awarded in 2011 to Japanese American World War II veterans in the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and the Military Intelligence Service (MIS), traveled across the country in 2013, visiting only six cities in the nation.

This exhibition uses first-hand accounts, photos, letters, and historical documents to show how wartime events brought national notoriety to the small community of Hood River. Visitors will be invited to make meaningful connections between the past and present-exploring the promise and reality of American democracy and equality. One soldier depicted in the exhibit, George Akiyama, wrote in his diary that after the war, still wearing his uniform with the Silver and Bronze Star, he stopped to get a haircut at a downtown barbershop.  The barber waved his razor, exclaiming, "I ought to slit your throat." Visitors are asked to put themselves into his shoes, and the shoes of the other returning soldiers, and consider how they would have reacted in that situation, and further, how they would handle similar situations of bullying or racism in the present day.

Hosting the Exhibit

The exhibit is available in the form of PDFs that host venues may print and display. Please contact Tara Cole, Museum Services Coordinator, at 503.306.5223 or tara.cole@ohs.org for inquiries.

Catlow Cave

Search Visit Oregon

Catlow Cave is located in the Burns District near the southern end of Catlow Valley, at the base of the basalt rim forming the valley's eastern margin. The cave measures about 130 feet across the front, 60 feet from front to rear, and about 50 feet high. At least four rock ringed pits, interpreted as house features, have been found along the rear wall of the cave. The number of pits is approximate; there is at least one small rock ring inside a larger one, and one large ring may have been partitioned.

Catlow Cave represents the earliest two periods: Paleo-Indian (12,000 to 8,000 years ago) and Early Archaic (8,000 to 6,000 years ago).

Cow Creek Band of Umpqua

Tribe of Indians

Search Roseburg Oregon

A brief history

The Cow Creek Umpqua Indians lived peacefully along the north and south fork drainages of the Umpqua River in the wet and verdant Pacific Coast Range of southwest Oregon. They were closely related to neighboring bands and sometimes shared parts of the same territory. They dwelt in bark-covered plank houses partly sunk into the ground. Like all primordial human societies, they had their creation stories. One striking account told of a mighty eruption in the Cascade Mountains at the eastern edge of their territory. Mt. Mazama had literally blown up and left a caldera that became Crater Lake. The lake and its environs were sacred to the Umpqua. They spoke the Takelma language.

The earliest contact with Europeans occurred in the late 18th century when Spanish galleons from Manila skirted the northwest coast of North America. Parties from the ships investigated the shore. In 1819, fur trappers from the North West Company encountered a group of Umpqua Indians and killed several of them. Land-hungry settlers began to arrive.

The Oregon Territory came into being as a result of the 1848 Organic Act, a tacit declaration of white hegemony passed by the U.S. Congress. It was followed by the Oregon Donation Land Act of 1850, which gave away 320 acres to any settler past the age of 18 -- heedless of any prior Indian claim to the land. Gold was discovered at Jackson Creek in Umpqua territory in 1852, which attracted miners and increased tensions. The Cow Creek Umpqua were the first Indians to ratify a treaty with the U.S. Government, in 1853. The chief at the time was Miwaleta, a peaceful man who counseled accommodation with the whites. The Indians relinquished their territory to the government for $12,000, to be paid out over two decades. The result was that the Umpqua received no protection from aggression and they were left as refugees in their former lands.

Miwaleta died a short while later and his successor decided to commit the band to a bloody fight with whites being carried on by the Rogue Indians to the immediate south. The result of the Cow Creek Umpqua involvement in the ill-fated Rogue Indian War was that the U.S. government annulled its commitment to the treaty.

After the war, quasi-military Volunteers took it upon themselves to banish the Umpqua and Rogue Indians. Tough fighting followed, but in the end, most were rounded up and force-marched to the Grand Ronde Reservation about 150 miles north -- another Trail of Tears. Others escaped the round-up and retreated to remote areas of their former territory. Some 800 Indians made it to the reservation, where they were kept in place by the surrounding army. Life was harsh; shelter was poor, homesickness prevailed and starvation threatened. A few Indians managed to escape, but most were brought back.

By 1865, even reservation land eventually fell under the hungry gaze of settlers. Congress passed the General Allotment Act of 1887, which served to break up parts of reservations for white settlement.

Into the 20th century, the Cow Creek Umpqua quietly survived and subsisted on unwanted reservation land. In 1918, elders formed a tribal organization and went to Washington, D.C., to press for federal services to their people. In addition, they sought redress from the government for the land that was taken from them in 1853 at such a dirt-cheap price, then sold to settlers for far more. The land claim struggle would last most of the 1900s.

The 1954 Public Law 588 stated that there were no Native Americans left in western Oregon. As a result, the Cow Creek Umpqua were designated a terminated tribe. Part of the fallout of this was that the Indians had to start paying property taxes; some couldn't afford it and lost their alloted property to foreclosure. Nevertheless, the 1980 Public Law 96-25 allowed the Cow Creek Umqua to lodge a complaint with the Claims Court in Washington, D.C., over the monetary value of their lands ceded in the 1853 treaty.

Finally, after 13 decades, the 1982 Public Law 97-391 restored the Cow Creek Umpqua band to tribal status with the federal government through the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1984, a $1.5 million settlement was reached. That amount was roughly equal to the value of their territory in 1853, had it been sold for the amount settlers paid per acre.

The settlement funds were used by the tribe to create an endowment fund that was invested as collateral for a land purchase. In addition, interest from the fund was used to build a bingo hall on it in 1992, which eventually evolved into something much more ambitious: the Seven Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort, an economic mainstay of the tribe.

The Cow Creek Umpqua Tribe today

The tribe is a sovereign nation. A definition: "Sovereignty means that the tribe is an independent nation. Sovereignty empowers the tribe to determine its own form of government, and to define its membership."

Its government consists of a tribal board whose 11 directors are elected by the tribal members. The board has a chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary and treasurer. According to the tribe:

"The tribal board develops and maintains policies, procedures, laws and ordinances that are intended to ensure the integrity and strength of tribal government, the protection of the tribal constitution and sovereignty, tribal history and culture, tribal assets, and the well-being of the members of the Cow Creek Umpqua Tribe."
The tribal board maintains relations with local, state and federal governments, and cooperates with people and firms in the local area.

The Umpqua Indian Development Corporation operates several businesses for the benefit of its members. In addition to the casino, the corporation runs the:

  • Seven Feathers Truck and Travel Center
  • Umpqua Indian Foods
  • ciMediaGroup/ciPrinting
  • Nesika Health Group
  • Rio Communications
  • Canyonville Cubbyholes (storage units)
  • Valley View and Riverside Lodge motels
  • Umpqua Indian Utility Cooperative
  • K Bar Ranches
  • An important aspect of tribal life is the esteem in which their elders are held. They represent seven historical core families. The tribe believes that their elders embody wisdom that can exert a beneficial impact on the future.

    The tribe also maintains a foundation to which individuals and organizations can apply for funding grants.

    Recent events

    The Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation gave nearly $400,000 to 37 charitable organizations in seven southwest Oregon counties in January 2003. The foundation has granted more than $3 million since its inception.

    In April 2003, the Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce and the Roseburg Area Non-Profit Coalition presented Sue Shaffer, Chairperson of the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians, with a plaque reflecting significant support to local charities.

    Governor Kulongoski was on hand in November 2003 for the groundbreaking of the $25 million Creekside Development Project that will eventually include two dams, a lagoon, a water treatment facility, an RV park, rest stop and an expansion of the Seven Feathers Hotel.

Sunshine Under Cloudy Skies

Aug 16, 2017 10:52AM ● By Daisy Hutzell-Rodman

Chasin' a Rainbow. That’s what it felt like at SumTur Amphitheater on Tuesday night, as the clouds covered the sky, and that’s why newgrass band Railroad Earth’s opening song to the opening performance of their August tour seemed appropriate.

Newgrass is a form of bluegrass that incorporates rock and jazz. Railroad Earth band took the stage following an hour-long performance by Vermont-based Twiddle. This opening act was a change from the originally announced Moe, who went on hiatus following the announcement that their bassist was diagnosed with cancer earlier this month. Moe itself was expected to bring a crowd to Papillion, but the venue still sold over 600 tickets.

Twiddle, led by Mihali Savoulidis, brought a distinctively reggae sound to many of the songs in their set, which blared deafeningly from the sound system during much of it.  Then there were songs that sounded fishy…actually, make that Phish-y. The crowd appreciated hearing instrumentals from the popular jam band mixed in with Twiddle’s original music.

But they really appreciated the main act, who brought sunshine to an overcast evening with many of their songs, such as “When the Sun Gets in Your Blood” and “Came Up Smilin’.” The jam band really proved their name with the combination of the songs “The Jupiter and the 119,” “Warhead Boogie,” and “Captain Nowhere.”

Performances lasted an average of 16 minutes each, offering dancers ample time to find the beat. Also of note was young Sophia, age 10, who joyfully hula-hooped throughout the show.

The band was missing Andy Goessling, who plays a variety of string instruments, flute, pennywhistle, and saxophones, as well as sings.

In this War-Torn Nation, Meet the Brave Souls Returning to Rebuild

Shalom. You usually get to read first hand account of ONMI's news brief in the South Sudan from us. But it is also encouraging to hear and another first hand report about our mission from a major US Christian News Network, CBN which had sent out their special reporter Mr. George Thomas to do special report on the mission of Operation Nehemiah in the South Sudan.

Mr. George Thomas, CBN's global reporter, managed to put out the news report on the mission of Operation Nehemiah in South Sudan for the whole world to see. It is only 7.11 minutes long but it sums it all. I truly encourage you to watch it and pass it on. You don't get to see or read reports like this coming out of South Sudan from the mainstream media nowadays.

In May, 2016, before my family left for ONMI mission trip to the South Sudan, Mr. George Thomas , CBN News global reporter promised to come out and meet us in South Sudan before our returning to the USA. He want to witness and document the work of Operation Nehemiah on the ground. He wanted to find out what set Operation Nehemiah apart from the rest of humanitarian global organization working in the South Sudan.

He arrived at our mission headquarter in Borongole, EE Pageri, County EE State South Sudan on July 17th and my family hosted him for three days at the Beth Israel Farmhouse. He left South Sudan on July 22. we stayed for another days after his departure.

He arrived at the height of South Sudan's most current Crisis which took place on July 8th which drove tens and thousands of civilians back to exile. As he was leaving the USA on July 14th for South Sudan, the crisis had already begun and escalating on daily bases. He asked us if it was safe for us and for him to come down? We told him to take courage and come up, for his safety and our safety was in the hand of God. Sure enough he came by faith and the Lord protected all of us.

Now here is his entire report. Please watch and pass on as the Lord leads, you also help in small way like George Thomas to help lift up our hands.

CBN World News reporter, Mr. George Thomas visited Operation Nehemiah Mission Headquarters in South Sudan. Here is his report, very gripping & riveting.

In His grace

The owners of the 5,000-sq.-ft. residence voiced a desire that their new residence have a farmhouse look with a metal roof, so their architect created a unique design.

“We wanted something unique to us,” the owner said. “We liked the idea of something distinctive. And the longevity and low maintenance aspect of metal was important, too.”

Farmhouse or American Foursquare projects are always fun, said architect Michael Buss of Michael Buss Architects in Hickory Hills, Ill. “The project uses the farmhouse vernacular which is essentially the gable roof and lap siding and a bit of stone base. The metal roof is really indicative to the style. When the owners decided they wanted a metal roof, we were all-in. We were looking at renderings on the computer and when we put the metal roof on the design, all of the sudden this quaint house became stunning.”

Approximately 5,900 sq. ft. of Petersen’s Snap-Clad panels met the owners’ desire for a distinctive design. The .032 aluminum panels were finished in PAC-CLAD Charcoal color. Buss said that most of the metal roofs he previously designed have been on retrofit projects. “I’ve always wanted to do one from scratch,” he said. “While metal may be more expensive than a normal roof, it lasts a lot longer and has zero maintenance compared to traditional materials.”

Installation of the Snap-Clad panels was done by Complete Flashings in Bensenville, Ill. “The installation was first-rate,” Buss said. Mark Rosal, president of Complete Flashings, commented on the use of aluminum versus steel. “I like aluminum,” Rosal said. “There are never any issues with scratches and it fabricates easier than steel. My guys can bend and cut the pieces easier.”

Complete Flashings has completed several projects using Petersen PAC-CLAD profiles and has several more coming up, Rosal said. “The Snap-Clad profile is really a good one—everyone wants to use it,” he said. “I use Petersen products all day long.”

Architect Michael Buss also likes the profile. “The Snap-Clad panels helped achieve the shadow lines to pick up movement across the elevation and make it a bit more lively,” Buss said. “We would easily do another big project with Petersen. They were great to work with. I wish every job went that smoothly.”

The general contractor on the project was McNaughton Brothers Construction in Burr Ridge, Ill.

“We had a great team,” Buss concluded. “The owners, the builder, the installer—all were totally committed to the quality of the project.”

Keeping Illinois from Becoming the Next Colorado

The fight in Illinois is really heating up, and it’s very important that everyone in Illinois, that does business or is in any way associated with the state help call lawmakers and spread the word. What’s the situation on the ground? Well, the Chicago machine wants a consolation prize if they are going to be forced to accept concealed carry. Right now that’s in the form of a magazine ban. As I mentioned yesterday, the margin for votes is really thin, so this is where the anti-gunners are going to try to hit us next, and they are twisting arms, so it is incumbent upon us to twist back. If this picks up momentum, if they get another state, it’s going to get very difficult to stop.

    I would think that for Chicago, having a law requiring a permit to carry ought to be consolation prize enough, since it will be Constitutional carry otherwise.

    Let them fight all they want. All the repubs have to do is hold them off until June 8th.

    You know, the phrase “we lost Colorado, but I think we can hold Illinois” is not on I ever expected to hear in the gun rights issue.

    I’ve called my Representwtie and Senator. Hopefully we can keep this on-side for gun rights.

Magnetospheric and Lunar Interactions with Reported Sensory Hallucinations: An Exploratory Study

Abstract. Geomagnetic activity (GMA) and the lunar cycle have previously been postulated to facilitate hallucinatory experiences that are subsequently interpreted as haunting activity. However, findings from previous studies investigating possible connections are limited by relatively small sample sizes, broad temporal resolution, or artificial laboratory settings. To address these limitations, an exploratory analysis was conducted on 26 years of witness statements comprising 723 unique reports of apparent haunting activity, obtained from management at Port Arthur Historic Penal Colony, Tasmania, Australia. We compared frequency of reports with moon phase, the solar cycle, and monthly, daily, and hourly measures of GMA (using the Ap index). Report distribution was significantly correlated both with annual variation in GMA and solar cycle sunspot frequency. Intraday distributions revealed that reports were more likely to occur during times below mean daily GMA. Furthermore, significantly higher frequency of reports occurred during the two-day period around the new and full moon. The findings suggest that sensory hallucinations, experienced as haunt activity occur preferentially during specific periods outside of maximal GMA; during either relatively quiet periods or perhaps during periods with magnetic variations more suited to interaction with biological processes. The observed lunar effect is likely psychogenic in nature due to sensory feedback.

The outlook on nursing homes in illinois

Tue 22 May, 2018 / by / Nursing Home Injury

After finally selecting the perfect new place of residence for an elderly loved one, it can be upsetting to discover neglect, to say the least. No matter how serious the situation might be, abuse within the walls of a nursing home is simply unacceptable. The following information takes a look at local nursing homes and their ability to protect and care for senior residents across the state of Illinois.

Last August, WQAD-TV shared the unsettling news that Illinois had the highest number of reported incidents of nursing home abuse in the country between 2015 and 2016, followed by Texas and California. Even more disturbing, WQAD noted that a large number of abuse cases go unreported — despite federal laws requiring staff to do so. More specifically, staff must report incidents within a two-hour window if a serious injury is involved; in less severe cases, there is a 24-hour reporting window. Although Medicare prides itself in its concern over elderly patients in these facilities, the inspector general has placed recent pressure on the agency to begin scrutinizing computer records for possible signs of abuse.

The Belleville News-Democrat also weighs in on the state’s nursing homes and their abiity to provide quality care for residents, reporting that nursing homes in the metro-east area specifically provided substandard care. Some critics blame insufficient government reimbursement, understaffing and poor training. Others point toward the state’s privatized Medicare and Medicaid system, which often does not provide adequate funding. Whatever the reason, it is clear that Illinois is struggling to protect its nursing home patients: six residents died due to poor care from 2015 to 2017, and 13 out of the 18 nursing homes in Clair County received “below average” scores from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. As the problem persists, countless patients continue to suffer.

Time to change revenue model of media companies? Expert view

The Indian Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry in India consists of several different segments, the biggest segments being Television, Print, and Films. The sector has witnessed monumental growth for the past several years, driven by an increase in the quantity and quality of online engagement in the vast Indian market. The sector grew by 9% in the year 2019, almost $26 billion in value.

With the arrival of the global pandemic, major industries around the world are facing significant repercussions. There has been considerable fall in investments, consumption levels along with rising economic vulnerability. As per a report by CRISIL, the Indian credit rating agency, the Indian Media & Entertainment sector is set to face a decline in revenue of around 16% in the current financial year.

The sector obtains a major part of its revenue from the advertising spend of other industries. As a result of this over-dependency on advertising the Media and Entertainment sector is facing the effects of the recessionary impact on other industries like FMCG, Automobile, and E-Commerce. Despite increased consumption of content through different media segments during the pandemic induced lockdown, ad revenue has declined. Top spending advertisers have dropped campaigns or put them on hold.

As per Uday Shankar, Vice President, FICCI, the industry needs to correct its revenue models and rethink and reform its disproportionate dependence on advertising. Globally, the media industries followed the norm of generating revenue through a subscription-based model and advertising, in a proportionate manner. A subscription plus model will ensure growth in the M&E sector. In this model, the consumer will pay for better content, and reliance on ad revenue will reduce.

There has also been a sharp rise in the consumption of digital products, gaming, and OTT services. The industry must monetize these trends by improving digital presence, OTT platforms, and through subscription models for online gaming. India being highly populated, has a vast customer base, which is highly diverse. These consumers are willing to pay for quality content over quantity. Thus, to sustain and grow, the M&E industry should focus on building directly to customer relationships
