Today's post won't inspire you to dress your 3rd trimester bump in the cutest way possible. And it won't tell you how beautiful and glamorous pregnancy is (mostly because it isn't). I'm going to be super real with all of you today because pregnancy is really hard and sometimes we all just need to remember that. Feel free to laugh or cry along with me as I just vent a little bit about how tough the last few weeks of pregnancy really are!
You are going to swell up like a water balloon. My ankles are gone and have been replaced with canckles and my fingers are stubby sausages. I bought compression socks and have to rock them on the regular. It's so not glamorous.
Nothing fits. At. All. I have one pair of workout shorts that fit right now, but they only stay up when I use a belly band. I've been not so patiently waiting for cooler weather to kick in so I could bust out these maternity leggings, which I'm in love with.
You will be jealous of anyone who has a baby before you. You'll also be super happy for them and will stalk all their newborn photos, but in the back of your mind you're just thinking "Why couldn't that be me?!?!"
Sleep eludes you. I tossed and turned until 12:30 a.m. last night dreading having to wake up six hours later. I guess it's just prep for all the middle of the night feedings that will start soon!
You can't do as much as you think you can. I had a lofty goal to clean out the fridge on Saturday. I got maybe a third of the way through before I had to call in Jason for reinforcement. Then I had to rest on the couch for like an hour before I had the energy to do anything else.
Everything hurts. I've been to the chiropractor so many times in the last few weeks simply because I can't lay down without pain. I love leaving the office feeling good but the pain comes back a couple hours later after I pick up my toddler and mess up all that hard work.
You can't reach anything that isn't at arm level. Well, you could bend down to get things, but let's be real, will you be able to get back up?
You have zero control over your emotions. I swear I snap at Jason like 20 times a day, and then I can't figure out why he's frustrated. I'm in a good mood now, so he should be too right? Oh yeah, I was freaking out five minutes ago and I'm the only one who has bounced back from that...and barely remembers it.
Pregnancy brain is so, so real. I cannot, for the life of me, remember simple things -- things I've known since I was a kid escape my brain and it takes 10 minutes to figure it out. Or, I'll take a step to go and do something super important and I instantly can't remember what I was going to do. Make lists people!
You simultaneously want your baby to get here asap, but you're super stressed about having a baby. I'm the type who thinks at 37 weeks baby can come any time, but I just realized that I'll have a baby by next Saturday and the thought has me panicked! Am I really ready? Do we have everything? Where's the carseat? Please stay in baby girl, I still need to do so much!!!

Home Gearing up to Hammer the Trails
Gearing up to Hammer the Trails
by Tamara Neely
A typical ride for the Dirt Girls
If you ride a mountain bike from the 1990s with your kick-around shoes on and some jeans, have no fear, you are welcome at the Contagious Mountain Bike Club (CMBC).
Kristina Gardner, treasurer of the club, says everyone is welcome, from beginners to those that go hard and are dialed into the scene.
"There are people who match all the components of their outfits with all the components of their bikes," she says. "But then there are people who are just dirt bags (note: she means this endearingly) and just have whatever and want to ride."
CMBC is gearing up for the snow-less season of cycling and is inviting folks to join their group rides or consider volunteering as guides.
On Tuesday nights there are two options: join the men and women on a group ride, or compete in the Toonie Races.
Thursday nights feature the Dirt Girls, in which ladies get together to give'er on the trails. Riders can choose to go with the beginner group or the intermediate/advanced group.
"Don't be scared to come, that's my key message," Gardner says. "It will be fun. And there are lots of opportunities to stop and catch your breath and chat."
However, beginner riders have to be comfortable riding a trail and climbing and descending small hills. If you're not at that stage, take their Introduction to Mountain Biking course, which costs $20 for four Sundays of skill training.
Everyone was a rookie at some point, as they old saying goes, and Gardner wants to find riders who have learned the trails and have advanced to the point that they ride with their own group of friends.
"These are the kind of people that it would be awesome if they would pay it forward and come and lead," she says.
Gardner says guides aren't the fastest and they don't have the best gear. They just have to have a sense of the trails and the confidence to keep track of a horde. She knows; she's done it.
"I like to help the community by coordinating rides," she says. "I like to show people the trails that I love. And I like to help show people — who might be too scared to go into the trails by themselves — how awesome it is."
The first Dirt Girls ride of the season is on May 16; riders will meet at 7 p.m. at the Magnusson parking lot on Grey Mountain (accessed through Riverdale).
Dogs are welcome on the rides, so long as they are under control.
An annual membership with the Contagious Mountain Bike Club is $15 plus $35 for insurance to ride with them. The four-week Introduction to Mountain Biking Course began on May 6. Contact the club about options for taking the course.
The CMBC website features a calendar of events; email them at info@ cmbcyukon.ca; or check their Facebook page for announcements.

The Spirit of Sweetwater
by Hamlin Garland
Fiction > Historical
The Spirit of Sweetwater CHAPTER I
One spring day a young man of good mental furnishing and very slender purse walked over the shoulder of Mount Mogallon and down the trail to Gold Creek. He walked because the stage fare seemed too high.
Two years and four months later he was pointed out to strangers by the people of Sweetwater Springs. "That is Richard Clement, the sole owner of 'The Witch,' a mine valued at three millions of dollars." This in itself was truly an epic.
Sweetwater Springs was a village in a cañon, out of which rose two wonderful springs of water whose virtues were known throughout the land. The village was wedged in the cañon which ran to the mighty breast of Mogallon like a fold in a king's robe.
The village and its life centered around the pavilion which roofed the spring, and Clement spent his evenings there in order to see the people, at least, as they joyously thronged about the music-stand and sipped the beautiful water which the Utes long, long ago called "sweet water," and visited with reverence and hope of returning health.
Since the coming of his great wealth Clement had not allowed himself a day's vacation, and he had grown ten years older in that time. There were untimely signs of age in his hair and in the troubled lines of his face. He was a young man, but he looked a strong and stern and careworn man to those whose attention was called to him. He was a conscientious man, and the possession of great wealth was not without its gravities.
For the first time he felt it safe to leave his mine in other hands. He had a longing to mix with his kind once more, and in his heart was the secret hope that somewhere among the women of the Springs he might find a girl to take to wife. He arranged his vacation for July, not because it was ever hot at the Creek, but because he knew the Springs swarmed at that time with girls from the States. It would have troubled him had any one put these ideas into words and accused him of really seeking a bride.
He was a self-unconscious man naturally, and he hardly realized yet how widely his name had gone as the possessor of millions. He supposed himself an unnoticed atom as he stood at the spring on the second night of his stay in the village. Of a certainty many did not know him, but they saw him, for he was a striking figure—a handsome figure—though that had never concerned him. He was, in fact, feeling his own insignificance.
He was standing there in shadow looking out somberly upon the streams of people as they came to take their evening draught at the wonderful water of the effervescing spring. The sun had gone behind the high peaks to the west, and a delicious, dry coolness was in the cañon.
It seemed to Clement to be a very fashionable and leisurely throng—so long had he been absent from people either modish or easeful. He felt himself to be hopelessly outside all this youth and brilliancy and merriment, and he looked upon it all with a certain wistfulness.
He perceived at length that the strollers were not all of the same conditions. There were rough, brown cow-boys from La Junta and Cajon, and miners in rough dress down from the gulches for a night, but mainly the promenaders appealed to him with elegance of dress and manner.
Many of the ladies came without hats, which added to the charm of their eyes and hair. Some of them looked twice at the tall man with the big mustache and broad hat, who seemed to be watching for some tardy friend.
As he studied them his memory freshened and he came to understand them better. He analyzed them into familiar types....

Incubus Singer Arrested At N.Y. Airport
Incubus singer Brandon Boyd was arrested Wednesday for a carrying a switchblade in his bag while trying to board a plane on his way to a concert in North Carolina.

Incubus singer Brandon Boyd was arrested Wednesday for a carrying a switchblade in his bag while trying to board a plane on his way to a concert in North Carolina. The 28-year-old musician was stopped at LaGuardia Airport when baggage screeners spotted the knife in his carry-on luggage, said Lou Martinez, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport.
Boyd was charged with criminal possession of a weapon but was able to continue on to Raleigh, N.C., in time for the concert, according to a spokesperson for the band's label, Epic Records. He admitted he accidentally left the knife in his bag and called the incident "my bad."
"I totally forgot it was at the bottom of my bag, and when the security person pulled it out, I thought, `Oh, no,'" Boyd says in a statement.
Upon arriving in Raleigh, Boyd had only about 20 minutes to get from the airport to the concert hall, so Incubus' manager arranged for a police escort. "That was the most rock star of an entrance I've ever made," Boyd says. "The police cars pulled up to the venue and I literally walked right on stage."
Meanwhile, Epic will on Nov. 23 release the DVD "Alive at Red Rocks." Taped July 26 at the famed Colorado venue, the show featured such rock radio hits as "Drive," "Wish U Were Here" and "Megalomaniac."

We have fabricated waveguide photodiodes with high uniform characteristics on a 2-inch InP wafer introducing a novel process. The 2-inch wafer fabrication procedure was carried out successfully by utilizing SiNx deposition on the back of the wafer in order to compensate wafer warp. Almost all the measured waveguide photodiodes exhibited low darkcurrent (average 419 pA, σ= 49 pA at 10 V reverse bias voltage) throughout the 2-inch wafer, and high responsivity of 0.987 A/W (σ=0.011 A/W) was obtained in a consecutive 60-channel array at the input wavelength of 1.3 µm. In addition, uniformity of frequency response was also confirmed.

British readers of a certain age may associate the potential problems encountered by absent crusaders with a popular children's television series (very) loosely based on Sir Walter Scott's classic novel "Ivanhoe". In this the eponymous hero, played by a very young Roger Moore in his pre-007 days, fought for right and justice on behalf of the absent Richard the Lionheart against the dastardly machinations of Prince John and his accomplices. The notion that Richard's kingdom was under Papal protection during his absence did not, as far as I recall, ever figure in the script. Even the historic Richard discovered the shortcomings of Papal protection when he was held to ransom by the Duke of Austria and saw his lands invaded by Philip II of France; he was unsurprisingly not impressed by Innocent III's conspicuous failure to uphold the protections from which he should have benefitted.
Danielle Park concedes that Richard's experiences did not represent the Papacy's most glorious hour. She argues however that this was an exceptional case and that Papal protection was a necessary, if not sufficient, precondition for participation in the crusades, reassuring potential holy warriors that their worldly interests at home would not suffer from their absence. Her book seeks both the trace the development of the privilege over successive papacies and consider its application. Her chosen case studies are drawn from the French speaking world- the Kingdom of France itself and the great principalities of Flanders and Blois/Champagne- with sideways glances towards England and the Empire.
Park is very clear that the idea of Papal protection was a creation of Urban II himself at the time he was preaching what became the First Crusade, even if its content meshed with pre-existing concepts like pilgrim protection and the Peace of God. She makes a strong case, though some of her evidence hints at bishops and canon lawyers in the years after the Council of Clermont scrambling to put defined content into what may have been a rather vaguely formulated promise and then having to work through the consequences when it became clear that crusading was going to be an ongoing process rather than a one-off event. Predictably things became increasingly codified as trained lawyers got their teeth into the issues. In this context she suggests that the key moment came with the Second Crusade; the principles laid down by the Eugenius III in essence set the pattern for all that came later (another example of the current re-evaluation of the importance of that series of campaigns). Activist popes like Alexander III can be seen putting a lot of effort into upholding the privilege. By contrast, the usually dominant figure of Innocent III is cut down very much to size; such limited innovations as he made in the privilege were rapidly forgotten by his successors who preferred the definitions created by Eugenius.
Park's case studies focus on the role of the people she defines as "crusade regents". These were (predictably) drawn from close associates of the departing warrior. In many cases the choice fell on his wife- indeed this almost seems to have been the default option- and Park looks closely at this area of female rulership and self-assertion. In cases where the wife was either unavailable (perhaps because she too was going east) or for some reason viewed as unsuitable, the choice usually fell on another close family member. The choice of what might anachronistically be called a professional administrator like Abbot Suger or William de Longchamps was rare and it is perhaps significant that both experienced considerable problems in exercising their powers. Suger was fortunate in having the back-up of Pope Eugenius III to hand- and in benefitting from a very favourable historiographical tradition. In less sympathetic eyes it is easy to imagine him becoming the byword for corruption and unfettered ambition that William was in English memory.
On the whole, though, Park argues that the crusade regents did an effective job in upholding the rights of the absentee rulers and that this was recognised when the boss returned- for instance very few of their deeds required re-authentification. The job was eased by what look like conscious attempts to clear the books of outstanding issues before the would-be crusader departed. Park also hints that the constraints of crusade regencies may have been a stimulus for developments in bureaucratic governance.
Park makes quite a strong case. One quibble would be that it is hard to discern much specifically papal involvement in the crusade regencies she examines. Obviously senior churchmen worked closely with the regents as part of the teams of "insiders" which were assembled to mind the shop but direct papal interventions were very rare indeed (largely confined to Eugenius III's highly activist period in France). She works hard to distinguish between Papally-underwritten crusade regency and garden variety regency on behalf of an under age ruler in Champagne during the 1210's and 20's when one gave way to the other after the death of Thibaut III on crusade but in truth it is hard to see much practical difference. The key point was obtaining the support of Philip II of France with successive popes as at best useful support players in heading off competing claims on the county (themselves ironically based on an interpretation of the Papal crusade privilege).
Some of the evidence Park cites when analysing the legal development of the privilege suggest that it offered considerable scope for activist popes to insert themselves into the workings of ecclesiastical and lay justice- but in relation to landholders and property owners of lower status than the territorial princes she focuses on. It seems that such humbler individuals were prepared to petition popes for assistance, and indeed by the end of the twelfth century to pay good money for written confirmation of their privileged situation even though in principle that flowed automatically from their crusader status. While it is always unfair to criticise an author for not having written a different book from the one they produced, it is a pity that she chose not to cast a few more glances further down the social scale to get a sense of how the Papal privilege operated in less exalted (but more typical?) situations.
It has to be said that Park's book has a strong whiff of the doctoral thesis about it, with a considerable amount of repetition and a close – at times slightly myopic- engagement with previous scholarship. This does not do a great deal for its readability. She has undoubtedly identified an important part of what one might define as the backstage mechanics underlying heroic or ghastly deeds in the Holy Land. Hopefully she may in future widen her focus to consider the fate of those unable to call on the services of Ivanhoe to protect their rights.

Climate disasters cost the world billions of dollars in 2021
According to new report from the UK-based non-profit Christian Aid, Hurricane Ida was the costliest global climate disaster this year at $65 billion

The world continued to tackle covid-19 in 2021 but the climate change crisis didn't stop. In fact, it became worse. A new report from the UK-based non-profit Christian Aid looks at the ten most financially devastating climate events of 2021, from hurricanes in the US, China and India to floods in Australia, Europe and Canada.
The report, Counting the cost 2021: A year of climate breakdown, says the top ten most expensive events financially all cost over $1.5 billion of damage with Hurricane Ida in the US topping the list at $65 billion. The floods in Europe came second at $43 billion. Here's a look at some other figures from the report, which was released on Monday.

Tropical cyclones Tauktae, Yaas inflicted massive economic damage in India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bangladesh: In May, tropical cyclone Tauktae formed in the Arabian Sea and moved towards the west coast of India, also affecting Sri Lanka and the Maldives. As the report explains, Tauktae was the strongest cyclone to make landfall in Gujarat since 1999. The resulting rainfall, intense winds and flooding, left damages totalling to more than $1.5 billion and killed at least 198 people.
On the other hand, Cyclone Yaas, which impacted India and Bangladesh in May, forced thousands of people to leave their homes. More than 10,000 villages were damaged in Odisha alone. Economic losses from Yaas were estimated at $3 billion, the report adds.
Hurricane Ida was the costliest global disaster this year: The Category 4 hurricane hit several parts of the United States in late August and early September. It was the fifth strongest hurricane to make landfall in the country and caused flash floods in many northeast states, including Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. In total, according to the report, Ida caused damages amounting to $65 billion.

Western and central Europe floods were the second most financially devastating climate event of 2021: Extreme rainfall hit parts of Europe in the middle of July. Some regions around the Ahr and Erft rivers in Germany experienced more than 90mm of rainfall over a single day. The resulting floods killed at least 240 people and caused widespread damage, with economic losses estimated at more than $43 billion.
True cost of the Texas winter storm could be much more: More than 150 million people were placed under winter storm warnings during the Texas winter storm in February. Texas also suffered a massive power outage that led to shortages of basic supplies, leaving around five million people without electricity. According to the report, insured losses were calculated at $23 billion, but the total economic impact could be as high as $200 billion.

Many other disasters in 2021 caused damage to people or ecosystems: While many disasters took a massive financial toll, there was widespread damage in other parts of the world owing to deforestation, droughts and other aspects of climate change. In South Sudan, intense flooding has affected more than 800,000 people in the last few months. The United Nations has described the situation as "the worst flooding in decades." Severe drought has left around 60 million people facing food insecurity in east Africa, while an unprecedented heatwave, at the end of June and in the early days of July, brought hugely record-breaking temperatures to some parts of West North America. The report explains: an analysis released in November estimated that 595 people had died in British Columbia, Canada, as a consequence of the heatwave, 231 of them in a single day.

For the past several months, the Brown-headed Cowbirds have been keeping a low profile--at least in the park that I frequent. But beginning late last week, they have started to reappear in small flocks of 20 to 30 birds. I assume they are banding up to prepare for the trek south before the autumn winds begin to blow.
Nothing against Cowbirds per se. Every native bird, including the Cowbird, has a role to play. Unfortunately, as farms replaced forests across the US midwest in the last century, an ideal environment was created for the Cowbird to flourish. Their numbers and range have increased so dramatically that they are causing serious harm to many other species--even pushing some species to the brink of extinction.
Here's how. They don't hatch and raise their own young. Instead, the female Cowbird lays her eggs in the nests of other birds. Then the unsuspecting parasitized bird proceeds to hatch and nurture the Cowbird chick as if it were its own. Picture a tiny warbler being driven to exhaustion just trying to satisfy the voracious appetite of a chick twice its own size. It's not hard to see the negative impact this can have on the Cowbird's target hosts.
An altruistic Cardinal feeding two Cowbird fledglings--expending all its energy for the continuation of another species.
But hey, everyone's gotta make a living. When I see a Cowbird, I try to take the hopeful attitude of the weak-kneed Constable in Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance.
I'm sure there's a warm heart beating somewhere under those cold gray feathers. And the bright side is that most species figure out ways to cope with the Cowbird's wiles. Plus, more Cowbirds also means more food for the raptors. Silver linings everywhere!

Mongołowie (mong. Mongolčuud , w cyrylicy ) – środkowoazjatycka grupa etnograficzna zamieszkująca głównie tereny Wyżyny Mongolskiej, ich ojczyzna jest obecnie podzielona między Mongolię oraz kontrolowaną przez Chińską Republikę Ludową Mongolię Wewnętrzną. Posługują się językiem mongolskim i jego licznymi dialektami, tradycyjnie prowadzą koczowniczy tryb życia związany z hodowlą zwierząt (głównie Chałchasi oraz Ojraci), jednak coraz większa część populacji zaczyna przechodzić na tryb osiadły.

Główną religią Mongołów jest buddyzm tybetański, niewielka część wyznaje islam. Zdecydowana większość ludów mongolskich posiada wspólną tożsamość związaną ze współdzielonymi zwyczajami oraz historią.

Populacja
Ogólną liczebność populacji Mongołów oceniono pod koniec XX wieku na 8,8 mln osób. Stanowią większość obywateli Mongolii (2,2 mln) oraz około jednej-szóstej mieszkańców Mongolii Wewnętrznej (6 mln). Na terenie Chin Ludowych mongolskie enklawy występują również w Sinciangu, Tybecie oraz prowincjach Qinghai, Gansu, Heilongjiang, Liaoning i Jilin. Niektóre grupy zamieszkują rosyjską Syberię.

Mongołów można podzielić na wiele podgrup. Chałchasi stanowią ponad 80% populacji Mongolii. Ojraci zasiedlają tereny wysunięte najbardziej na zachód spośród wszystkich podgrup, można wśród nich wyróżnić Kałmuków, Bajatów, Oletów, Dzachaczynów oraz Mingatów – zamieszkują tereny południowo-zachodniej Rosji, zachodnich Chin i Mongolii. Mongolia Wewnętrzna jest domem dla Czacharów, Uratów, Chorczinów i Ordosów. W Mandżurii wyróżnić można Bargutów oraz Dagurów, w prowincji Gansu zamieszkują Mongołowie Tu (in. Mongorowie), Dongxiang i Bonan a w rosyjskiej Buriacji – Buriaci. Afgańscy Mongołowie nazywani są Mogołami.

Chałchasi

Jedna z grup uważanych za trzon ludów mongolskich, zwłaszcza na terenie północnej Azji. Dominują na terenie Mongolii oraz są największą grupą mongolską w Mongolii Wewnętrznej. Używany przez nich dialekt chałchaski (tzw. język chałcha-mongolski) jest często określany mianem "oryginalnego" języka mongolskiego i stanowi standard literacki oraz język urzędowy Mongolii.

Ojraci

Inaczej Mongołowie Zachodni, najbardziej na zachód wysunięta grupa Mongołów, jedna z nacji wchodzących w skład "trzonu" ludów mongolskich. Do tej grupy etnicznej zaliczają się także inne podgrupy: Kałmucy (a wśród nich Derbeci, Choszuci, Sartowie, Torguci i Buzawa), Bajaci, Oleci, Dzachaczyni oraz Mingaci. Zamieszkują głównie zachodnią Mongolię oraz Kotlinę Dżungarską w Sinciangu a także prowincję Qinghai. Używają dialektów zachodnich języka mongolskiego, m.in. języka ojrackiego. Należący do Ojratów Derbeci zamieszkują licznie zachodnią Mongolię. Jest to jedno z trzech głównych plemion Kałmuków, jedyni, którzy zdecydowali się powrócić do swojej pierwotnej ojczyzny – Dżungarii. Ich grupy wciąż zasiedlają zachodnią Mongolię (okolice pogranicza mongolsko-rosyjskiego, ok. 66 tys. osób), Sinciang oraz Qinghai.

Kałmucy

Zaliczani do grupy Ojratów, mieszkają głównie na terenie Kałmucji w dolnym biegu Wołgi, na północno-zachodnim brzegu Morza Kaspijskiego, mniejsze grupy żyją wzdłuż Donu, w Kirgistanie na pograniczu kirgisko-chińskim oraz na emigracji w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Wśród Kałmuków wyróżnia się Derbetów, Choszutów, Torgutów, także Sartów i Buzawa. Posługują się językiem kałmuckim.

Home > Larry Kudlow Lectures Single Parents About Poverty, Admits He Has "Virtually No Knowledge In This Field"
During a March 4 panel discussion, CNBC senior contributor and Republican economic guru  Larry Kudlow, who recently used his profile with America's leading business network to flirt with a Senate bid , noted that he has "virtually no knowledge in [the] field" of issues that affect low-income American families, yet he still used his CPAC platform to shame low-income Americans and lecture single parents.
Kudlow is not alone among right-wing media figures in his poor-shaming . In fact, blaming poverty on single parents or irresponsible behavior , and downplaying  the experiences of hardworking families, is a hallmark  of conservative media  rhetoric  regarding poverty and family issues. In addition to his adoption of right-wing media's poor-shaming rhetoric, Kudlow is also a climate change denier  who has launched numerous  sexist attacks  on Hillary Clinton in the past.

Fuzzy Goat proprietress Cadence Kidwell watches a ball winder and swift in action for a customer's order.
THOMASVILLE — Fiber brings people together and the yarn connecting one local businesswoman to her realized dream is a long, but lovingly dyed and cultivated one.
Cadence Kidwell is proprietress of Fuzzy Goat, a downtown Thomasville shop that caters to those who prefer knitting needles in hand to other creative outlets. She believes in the power of yarn, and how her love of knitting inspired her dream to open her own yarn haven and help foster that love in others.
The store, often described by customers as "charming" and "eclectic," focuses on "attainable challenges" for its customers. Fuzzy Goat even has its own knitting lodge and classroom, where accomplished stitchers can help novices learn how to work the needles so their own visions come to life between their fingers.
Knitters range from grandmothers and granddaughters knitting together to people knitting hats for persons undergoing chemotherapy.
Customers have ventured to Fuzzy Goat from as far as Canada, and many genuine connections have been formed through the yarn trail.
Kidwell grew up in Coral Gables, Fla., with "a very creative mother" who now makes art quilts (including the Fuzzy Goat quilt logo over the store's mantel). She has a doctorate in creative writing, and her dissertation is a novel about the time her American parents lived in Cuba in 1959 (the time of the Cuban Revolution).
She moved to this area with her husband in 1980. It was here, in her 20s, Kidwell heard the call of the yarn.
"On a whim, I found someone to teach me to knit and she insisted my first project be a cardigan with rows of cables," she recalled.
Though it was a tough first project, Kidwell was hooked. She's knitted whenever/wherever she could for decades. When she couldn't knit, she was planning knitting projects. A frequent weekend visitor to downtown Thomasville, the idea for her own store came to Kidwell one day in 2013.
Kidwell admitted her dream "originally seemed out of reach," but persistence and help from small business supporters – including Downtown Thomasville Main Street – helped make her idea for the store come true.
"It really took off when I met with the Main Street program and saw the support available," Kidwell said.
Main Street gave Kidwell a list of downtown properties, which included 223 West Jackson St. (Fuzzy Goat's address).
She appreciated the proximity to Thomasville Center for the Arts (TCA) and local independent businesses, which offered opportunities for collaborations. And, she liked that the location could be part of upcoming local events like TCA's FLAUNT, which was held a few days after the store opened.
"I loved the idea that even if I didn't live here yet (she once lived in Thomasville, and plans to move back soon), I could be a part of building something bigger than just my little shop," Kidwell said.
Once she acquired the building, work began. The primary hurdle in preserving the building's original character was the water damage from the leaks. The effort to restore the building won a 2014 Thomasville Landmark's "Award of Outstanding Achievement." Work done included: replacement of transom windows and removal of bulkheads that blocked interior windows; use of original flooring and tin ceiling tiles; exposure of two brick walls and reveal of an flue and a filled-in chimney space; reclaiming a framed-in skylight; old, rusty tin tiles from the roof became an interior wall; repurpose of old pine shelving to panel another built wall; and, barn doors for the classroom.
The store has even become a family affair. Her daughter, Carolina Kidwell-Bozeman, helps out two days a week, and Kidwell said customers make a point to come by on those days to talk with Carolina because she's young and full of new ideas.
And, though she knows knitters will come to the yarn, Kidwell also enjoys the passersby who walk into the store and find a new creative outlet. "The best is when someone comes in and says, 'I didn't know what knitting was but now that I've walked around I want to learn,'" she said.
Perhaps Fuzzy Goat customer Suzanne Alexander knit together the best explanation of why this creative outlet matters.
"It's so satisfying to make something that lasts," she said.

Just when you got excited that Spring has arrived I'm going to put an even bigger smile on your face.
Today I'm featuring one of my favorite maxi dresses, faux leather jacket and shoes that are under $100. Girl, it's not even Friday and I'm already pulling out the deals 😉 Let's do this!


Did you know that most commercial laundry soap contains phosphorus, enzymes, ammonia, naphthalene, phenol, sodium nitilotriacetate and countless other chemicals? These materials are very harmful and may cause rashes, itches, allergies, sinus problems and more. These detergents leave their residue your clothes, bed sheets, etc. and can be absorbed by your skin.
When it comes to using this product, less is more! We also do not add harsh foaming agents/surfactants, such as sodium laureth sulfate (beware this chemical is a main ingredient in shampoos and is very toxic to the body when it enters the bloodstream through the dermis).
Because of the lack of sulfates, you will not see many bubbles in the wash water, but this is by design and PERFECT because you will eliminate the soapy residue that remains on your clothes when using commercial brands, and the other important fact is that you will not have toxic petro-chemicals rubbing against your skin either!!! Do you really want these chemicals rubbing against your skin? Worst yet, your children's skin! The F.D.A. has now concluded that 60% of what we put topically on our skin actually goes directly into our bloodstream!
uRBAN wHIP's laundry products will leave your clothes clean and soft! Use one tablespoon of our concentrated formula per load for front loading HE washing machines and two tablespoons per load for traditional top loading machines.


More than thirty years ago I heard the late black evangelist/preacher G. P. Holt preach a sermon on why the Bible is still relevant to man. I distinctly remember Brother Holt's powerful and succinct words as he discussed where the Bible came from and its enduring nature and powerful effect on the world — "The devil wouldn't write the Bible, man couldn't write the Bible, and so God is its author." Many reject that explanation, but no one can disprove the logic and force of those words. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God " is still the best and most reasonable explanation for the source and success of the amazing book we call the Holy Bible (2 Timothy 3:16a). Now consider the church Jesus built. The New Testament church is loved by some and loathed by others. In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said, "I will build My church," and since her birth 2,000 years ago she has faced forces and foes seeking to silence, diminish and even destroy her. She has been analyzed, scrutinized, marginalized, criticized, and pulverized. Even inside the church there are those who stay more focused on the flaws and failings of those who sit in the pews than they do on the divine design and nature and purpose of the church. The church is always made up of flawed, imperfect people, but you still ought to get and stay in her. Why? Her members are the richest people on earth! Those riches are summed up in Ephesians 3:8 as "the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8). No bank can hold the riches bequeathed to those who are faithful members of Christ's church. Ephesians 1:3 states we are blessed with "every spiritual blessing. ..in Christ." We get into Christ by being baptized (Romans 6:3; Galatians 3:27). That same action puts us in the "one body"(1 Corinthians 12:13), and that body is clearly His church (Ephesians 1:22-23)! Criticize the church all you want, insist she is irrelevant – but Scripture says she is rich. We ought to remember that when we are discouraged and tempted to devalue the church and doubt whether she is really all she is cracked up to be.
There is a story about an old Navaho Indian who became rich when oil was discovered on his land. He took all the money and put it in a bank. His banker made it his business to become familiar with the habits of this rich old Indian gentleman. Every now and then, the Navaho would show up at the bank and say to the banker, "Grass all gone, sheep all sick, water holes dry." The banker normally wouldn't say a word. Instead he would just bring the old man inside the bank vault and give him a seat. Then he would bring out several bags of silver and gold and say, "These are all your's." Next he would bring out a pile of stocks and bonds and certificates and show them to him and say, "These, too, all belong to you." The old Indian would spend about an hour in the vault looking at his money, stacking up the dollars, counting and recounting them. Finally, he'd come out and say, "Grass all green, sheep all well, water holes all full." That old Indian didn't need to be any richer — He just needed to remember how rich he already was. There are times when we do, too. When was the last time you sat down and took stock of your spiritual portfolio and how fabulously rich you already are in Jesus Christ? Start with Ephesians 1:1-14.

Here's Your First Look at HBO's 'The Nevers' and HBO Max's 'Gossip Girl' Reboot (Video)
Both shows will premiere in 2021
HBO Max dropped a teaser Thursday revealing some big titles — both film and TV series — coming to the WarnerMedia-owned streaming service in the new year. And along with promoting the slew of 2021 films that will land on the platform the same day they are released in theaters, the spot included first looks at HBO Max's long-awaited "Gossip Girl" reboot and HBO's "The Nevers."
Created by "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" mastermind Joss Whedon, who recently exited the upcoming sci-fi drama, "The Nevers" is set in Victorian England and follows a varied group of Londoners who suddenly manifest abnormal abilities. The "Gossip Girl" is described as a "reimagining of the iconic YA series for a new generation" from the original series' creators.
And yes, though the 2021 preview also included no footage from the yet-to-be-taped "Friends" reunion special, it did tease it as something to look forward to next year.
The ad also included sneak peeks at HBO's "Mare of Easttown," a limited series with Kate Winslet starring as a small-town Pennsylvania detective who investigates a local murder as her life crumbles around her, two-part documentary "Tiger," a portrait of global golf icon Tiger Woods, and a second special episode of "Euphoria," along with new seasons of "Insecure" and "Succession."
There were also brief promos for the HBO Max originals "Nicki Minaj," a docuseries offering a look inside the superstar's life, crime thriller "No Sudden Move," directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, Jon Hamm and Ray Liotta, and the Zack Snyder's director's cut of "Justice League."
Though all of those will premiere in 2021, the big tease at the end of the video was for a show that's still on track to make it in 2022: "Game of Thrones" prequel series "House of the Dragon."
Watch the HBO Max 2021 teaser video above.

Classroom teacher with opportunities for collaboration with the music and art teachers.
Students will learn about the history behind the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Students will develop an understanding of the significance of America's national anthem through interactive online activities, writing blended poetry, and scripting a skit.
Test internet connection. Photocopy handouts for students, including "Star-Spangled Banner and the War of 1812." Procure necessary art supplies.
1. Ask the class whether they know what a national anthem is and why America has one. Record their ideas on the board.
2. Tell students that they are going to sing the first verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Tell students that there are four verses but that the first verse is the one that is traditionally sung. Display The Star-Spangled Banner lyrics in the Engage tab above and play the melody below.
3. Review with students the vocabulary in "The Star-Spangled Banner" and be sure to define any words with which the class may be unfamiliar. The full lyrics are available in the Resource Carousel Engage tab above.
4. Ask students to describe how singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" makes them feel. List students' thoughts on the board and discuss their ideas.
5. Ask students to describe the melody of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Have students list adjectives to describe it (e.g.: fast, slow, loud, strong, etc.). Ask students to brainstorm occasions when "The Star-Spangled Banner" is usually sung and how it makes them feel when they hear it.
6. Explain to students that when "The Star-Spangled Banner" was adopted as the national anthem, the tune was already well-known in America and was originally popular in Britain. Play the original song, "To Anacreon in Heaven" below.
1. Explain to students that as a class, you will acquire and test their knowledge of the events leading up to and the history of "The Star-Spangled Banner." With the computer hooked up to an LCD projector, visit the Smithsonian's 'War of 1812' as a class. In this interactive online activity, students will work together read about the history of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and answer quiz questions in order to collect stars to complete the flag.
2. Explain to students that they will be focusing on the events that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." Print "Star Spangled Banner and the War of 1812," an article from the Smithsonian and distribute a copy to each student. Read the handout aloud and discuss with the class. After reading the handout, ask the class to list what they think most influenced Francis Scott Key to pen "The Star-Spangled Banner." List their responses on the board.
3. Have students work in small groups to write brief skits in which they describe the events leading up to Key writing "The Star-Spangled Banner." Divide students into eight small groups. Distribute the War of 1812 and "The Star-Spangled Banner" Skit Chronology handout located within the Resource Carousel to guide students as they create their skits. Assign one of the skit chronology events to each group.
Students should work with their groups to research their events further (if necessary) and create a skit illustrating their event. Encourage students to use props, visuals, and dialogue to portray and communicate setting, time, people involved, context of the event, and how the event is related to the writing of the national anthem.
4. Have each group perform their portion of the chronology for the rest of the class.
1. Explain to the class that they are going to write blended poems. Blended poems are a mixture of original phrases and phrases from a pre-existing source which, when put together, create an original poem.
2. Using their The "Star-Spangled Banner" Song Lyrics printout found within the Resource Carousel Apply tab, have students underline or highlight their five favorite phrases or lines from "The Star-Spangled Banner." Have students copy these lines onto the Blended Poetry worksheet.
4. Once students have generated their phrases, instruct them to merge their original phrases with the five phrases they selected from "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the Blended Poetry Worksheet printout, also located above. Have students illustrate their blended poems on a separate piece of paper.
5. Assemble blended poems and illustrations into a Star-Spangled Scrapbook which can be displayed in the classroom.
1. Stage a closing performance in which students sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and read their blended poems. You might consider doing this in conjunction with any local Veterans' Day or Memorial Day observances. Otherwise, you may choose to videotape the performance or invite parents.
2. Have a closing discussion about what students have learned. Ask the class whether they will feel differently about hearing or singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" now that they know more about it.
