Gro Company Gro Clock - Kiddicare Wednesday, May 18, 2011

Anyone who has been woken up at 5am with their kids thinking its morning will know where were coming from with the Gro-clock! For children who are too young to read an ordinary clock, the Gro-clock uses the sun and moon to explain the difference between night and day. The changing images encourage children to stay in bed longer as they learn to Stay in bed until you see the sun. The Gro-Clock includes a sleepy farm story book, beautifully illustrated by leading childrens artist Mike Terry. Sleepy Farm tells the tale of a very tired pig. The book helps reinforce the message of the importance of a good nights sleep.

"Fes" Mys's photos around Fes, Morocco Saturday, May 14, 2011

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Fes, Morocco by TravelPod blogger Mys titled "Fes". TravelPod is a company of TripAdvisor™. Mys's travel blog entry: "At about 9 o'clock we awake to the brand new and unfortunately the last day here. We do some repacking in order to meet the 15kg baggage limit of Ryanair and the hotel room is empty again. Today we start the morning by exploring the vicinity of Royal Palace on SW of Fes el Bali. The palace itself is closed to public, but has a fabulous main gate near Place des Alaouites. In order to get as far as that, one has to pass a five-gate square of Petit Mechouar and then take some more streets, which are nice to stroll in as well. The first part of the main street there serves as a textile souk, while the latter leading through mellah (jewish quarter) is filled with jewelries. After taking a photo with a policeman, having some relaxing moments in a park and strolling some more off the beaten path streets we head back to follow the marked paths in the medina. Next stop is called Medersa of Bou Inania [10dh, sometimes closed due to prayers]. Although similar to previous ones, it's really worth seeing. This time, the central pool is of circle shape. Unfortunately, student's chambers are off limits for tourists. We still have some 2.5 hours before we have to leave the city, so let's do a free-stroll programme;). One of our random targets is Fondouk Nejjarine, a wood museum [not really worth seeing] with a nice view ...

Never Let You Go (A Justin Bieber Love Story) Episode 51 Monday, May 9, 2011

Episode 51!! What does Marissa mean when she says 'except this time..'? Find out now: ~~~ (Marissa's POV) Justin leaned in and kissed me, except this time, it was more forceful and passionate than all the other kisses we ever had. I grabbed on to his face and deepened the kiss. He ran his fingers through my hair and made the kiss even sweeter. He rolled over so that he was on top of me, but I didn't feel his weight. We both added a little tongue too. We kept going on like that for about 5 minutes, then to make things even sexier, Justin took his shirt off Me: *breaks the kiss* you have a nice body, Bieber Justin: *laughs* thanks Me: but why did you take off your shirt all of a sudden? Justin: I can't go to sleep with my shirt on *smiles then grabs me and starts kissing me like before* After a few minutes, I rolled on top of Justin and sat on top of him Justin: *breaks the kiss* I like this position *winks then does a sexy smile* Me: *giggles* So do I, the nurse was right, we are naughty children Justin: *laughs* we sure are Then I leaned back down and started making out with him again. He grabbed my face and deepened it. I thought about it: Pattie was fast asleep in her room down the hall, and she isn't waking up for a while. Me and Justin were all alone in his room, and I could tell that he wanted to. I decided, why not? I mean we're in love, and that's what people do when they're in love, right? I made the first move. Without breaking the kiss, I slowly traced my ...

Pastor above, beyond raising for kids Friday, May 6, 2011

Bethany Assembly of God Pastor Chris Clinchard in Adrian, Mich., is going above and beyond to raise money for kids, literally. He's living on a 30-foot lift for five days and five nights with just some basics - a sleeping bag, portable toilet, his laptop, and a Bible. Pastor Clinchard is hoping to raise $30000 through business sponsorships, money raised by the children and drive-by donations. Th fundraising will go to support kids ministries worldwide. "It's an out of the ordinary event," said Amy Roberts. "It draws a lot of attention, not only to our church but to the cause and it causes people to stop and take notice and donate money." Pastor Clinchard will continue to live on the lift off of Treat Highway and US 223 until 5 pm Friday, Aug. 26.

Bears, Humans Encroaching Thursday, May 5, 2011

Here are some suggestions about safely coexisting with bears: If you live or camp in bear country: * Keep garbage in airtight containers inside your garage or storage area. Place garbage outside in the morning just before pickup, not the night before. Occasionally clean cans with ammonia or bleach. * Remove bird feeders. Bears see them as sweet treats, and often they will look for other food sources nearby. * Never put meat or sweet-smelling food scraps such as melon in your compost pile. * Don't leave pet food or food dishes outdoors at night. * Clean and store outdoor grills after use. Bears can smell sweet barbecue sauce and grease for miles. * Never intentionally feed bears to attract them for viewing. If you intentionally or unintentionally feed a bear and the bear becomes a nuisance, you could be cited and fined up to $500 -- and the bear eventually may have to be killed. * Keep your camp clean, and store food and garbage properly at all times. Use bear-proof containers when available. If not, suspend food, coolers and garbage from a tree at least 10 feet off the ground and 4 feet out from the tree trunk. * Keep your tent and sleeping bag free of all food smells. Store the clothes you wore while cooking or eating with your food. * Sleep a good distance from your cooking area or food storage site. * Store toiletries with your food. If you see a bear: * Stop, and back away slowly while facing the bear. Avoid direct eye contact, as the bear may consider that a threat ...

Irish Blessings Sunday, May 1, 2011

Dancing, bag pipes, laughter, corn beef and cabbage, family, fun, Blessings and the color green only scratch the surface of what St. Patricks Day is. This day is one of those significant days that will be considered as a marker for a drastic change in direction. My father kidnapped my siblings and I at age seven. Moved us away from our mother and we lost all contact with her for awhile. It was a life of fear and overwhelming pain for me. I was raised as a Seventh Day Adventist and even so I can conclude even with little memories of my child hood how very confusing it would be for a child to hear the bible teacher quote scriptures like Hebrews 13:6, God himself has said, I will not fail you or desert you, and so we can say with confidence; With the Lord to help me, I fear nothing; What can man do to me? How confusing it must have been for a little girl whose father would enter her bedroom at anytime in the night. He can touch me and fondle me as I lay there pretending to be sleeping. My relationship with Jesus seemed to only be possible if I were to be a good girl and follow all the rules. My relationship with my father seemed only possible if I were a good girl and went along with his advances. Yet my father beat me with the law and rules, my religion pulverized me with condemnation and shame and Jesus seemed deafly silent. All seemed to position me into compliance. But I refused to comply with fathers advances and the unfair division of labor was my punishment for ...
