I see them in magazines, on blogs, books, and the TV. I’ve priced them out a few times, only to be disappointed by how costly they can be. In kindergarten, I vaguely remember my teacher shining a light at us while we stood by a wall with a big piece of white paper taped on it. It was so hard trying not to wiggle as she traced our shadow which we turned into a silhouette. Now, there is no need to spend $$$ to buy silhouettes. Cheap. First, grab your subjects and have them stand in front of a contrasting wall. Take a few photos, sometimes it’s nice to have more than one to choose from. Using your own photo editing software, size the photo to fit your chosen frame. Load white cardstock into your printer, and then print away! Next, with a steady hand, cut out your subject’s profile, being careful around facial features. Then, my favorite part begins! Transfer onto a clean paper towel and allow to dry. Then, frame ‘er up!
Hospital seeks cuddlers to help babies of addicted moms - Story Altoona, Blair County, Pa. Sixteen years ago, about 5 in every 1,000 newborns in Pennsylvania ended up in a neonatal intensive care unit because of their mother's drug use. Now, it's around 20 babies per thousand, a 250 percent increase. Folks in our region are joining an effort to give these babies the special attention they need. Five to 7 percent of pregnant women in Pennsylvania are addicted to opioids. NAS can make newborns very agitated, make it difficult for them to tolerate formula or even breast milk, and cause them to shake or have tremors. "We have to be careful about how we pick them up, how we hold them," says Maribeth McLaughlin, Vice President of Patient Care Services, Magee Women's Hospital of UPMC. McLaughlin, a nurse for 31 years has seen the dramatic rise in NAS. Pamela O'Donnell, unit director of LDRP and the Nursery at UPMC Altoona says, "we see more and more numbers of NAS babies in the community that need this kind of care and treatment. "It's wonderful," she says.
Brainwave entrainment Brainwave Entrainment is any practice that aims to cause brainwave frequencies to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (for example, to induce sleep), usually attempted with the use of specialized software. It purportedly depends upon a "frequency following" response on the assumption that the human brain has a tendency to change its dominant EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus.[citation needed] Such a stimulus is often aural, as in the case of binaural or monaural beats and isochronic tones, or else visual, as with a dreamachine, a combination of the two with a mind machine, or even electromagnetic radiation. Hemispheric Synchronization, a potential and generally desired result of brainwave entrainment, refers to a state when the brainwave pattern of the right and left hemispheres become alike. A person with similar activity in both hemispheres is alleged[by whom?] History[edit] Notes[edit]

Homemade Holidays: Crock Pot Candles Growing up in my house, we always made our own holiday gifts. We were pretty poor, and I suppose it was our only option. But it was never presented to me like that (I didn’t even know what ‘poor’ was, really, and I had a stupendously fabulous childhood full of ‘thing finding’ and ‘government cheese’. But that’s another story.) It was all about crafting our caring into something unique, something personal. The first holiday season that Damian and I spent together, I was a starving college student. Last year we made all our gifts together – our attempt at canning. Anyway, there I go reminiscing. How To Make Candles In A Crock Pot All you need is some wax, some wicks + wick bases, and some candle-holders. Optional additions include color (candle dye is available at the craft store) and smell. Once you’ve gathered all your supplies, set aside some time when you’ll be around the house for a couple of hours. 2) 20-30 minutes later you can check back. 3.5) He was very helpful. 4) Stir it up!
Lesson Plans Doing a unit on fish and seafood can be expensive so most programs leave it out. I had the privileged of working at a high school with a fish market adjacent to the school. We took a walking field trip to the fish market for a demonstration of how to select and cook fish. This was an awesome opportunity for students and helped mitigate the costs to the culinary department. With a little creative thinking, you maybe able to incorporate a seafood unit into your culinary program.

Juliana Cunha thelongthread.com 'American Idol' Elimination Night: Who Are the Remaining Top 4? Michael Becker / FOX This week’s American Idol theme of Brit Pop produced some of the strongest vocal performances of the season. Alas, after 60 million votes cast -- according to host Ryan Seacrest -- one of the Top 5 got the boot. VIDEO: 'Idol Hangover': Season 10's Haley Reinhart Talks Taking Risks on 'American Idol,' Feeling Sexy on New Album Sadly, that boot was fitted for country cutie Skylar Laine, the pint-sized Mississippi spitfire who livened up our screens every week with memorable performances, including The Faces’ anthem “Stay With Me” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son.” There will be no country finale this season, despite Laine’s strong performances of the CCR classic and Dusty Springfield’s “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me," which resonated with the judges. Jennifer Lopez, in particular, admired Laine's weekly adrenaline rushes upon hitting the stage, and Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine agreed -- to a point. PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Season 11: Top 13 Finalists

No Slip Bookmark Tutorial I have so many books requested at the library right now! I love books they may be my favorite thing, but bookmarks I have an issue with. I've always been a dog ear person (you know, folding down the top corner of the page to mark my spot). Bookmarks always fall out then I have no clue where I was. But I don't like to dog ear books that don't belong to me (or even some that do). I love it because it fits all different size books. Sew a length of ribbon around a hair tie, attach a button on the other end (I gathered the ribbon under the button for interest) and your set!
