If you're planning an event it's good to know that if you have some organized activities first, they can work as icebreakers that will end up with more of the guests dancing later. At any event there are some people who will dance no matter what, but, most people need you to do something just to help them to get in the mood. The days of people just arriving and dancing are disappearing.

Simple but effective. Avoid the tempation to leap on every latest trend; rather, find the one core goal and make it happen.
Two steps to transforming your school:
Step 1: Find your true north
Step 2: Do everything that will make Step 1 happen
Many of us agree that the historical model of school is broken and not serving the future, or even the present. Often the factory analogy of separation is used to describe the education that many of us received:
Separated rooms
Separated teachers
Separated classes
Separated furniture
Separated preparation and planning
This model has led to teachers as the driver, represents dependence and independence (not interdependence), one size fits all, confrontation, control and the relational tensions that often arise. Students usually become either compliant and passive vessels, or defiant and active resistors.
Many educators know that transformation is essential, collaboration is necessary and rethinking student success an imperative. We also know that it's not a simple thing to transform a school, but perhaps distilling the magnitude of change to a few…

Wednesday evening, during the 2016 Annual Meeting, Cornerstone Credit Union League held a special awards dinner for the many deserving professionals in the region whose good works positioned them for honor and recognition. For 2016, Cornerstone CEO Dick Ensweiler and Tinker FCU CEO Mike Kloiber presented the Hall of Fame award to retired president of Federal Employees Credit Union, Florence Rogers.
Rogers, who dedicated more than 34 years (1963–1997) to credit unions and credit union members, received glowing nominations. Allegiance Credit Union/Federal Employees Credit Union CEO Lynette Leonard said, "Florence has a personality that radiates her concern for others. She went above and beyond to establish close relationships with members."
"FECU grew steadily under the leadership of Florence from 1971 to 1997," Leonard said, "reaching total assets of nearly 80 million upon her retirement. A culture of providing a high level of member service and offering a full spectrum of options to meet member's financial needs was established and is still our expectation to this day."
Leonard spoke about the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City terrorist attack, when a truck-bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building where the credit union had been located. The blast left 168 people dead and hundreds more injured. Rogers was in the conference room with 18 of her staffers when the explosion occurred, and she was the only one to survive.
Perhaps Florence's greatest accomplishment was guiding FECU through the difficult challenges following the tragedy, Leonard noted. "Her leadership was instrumental in ensuring the survival of Federal Employees Credit Union."
"The credit union was truly a family atmosphere," Leonard recalled, "and members felt the loss of friends on that tragic day. Even 20 years later, we have members ask about Florence and how she is doing. This shows the impact she made on individual lives in truly living out the credit union philosophy of people helping people."
Rogers wrote in the June 1995 newsletter, "Perhaps the eagle on our logo should be the Phoenix instead. Like that great bird of legend, Federal Employees Credit Union will rise from the ashes." With her leadership, Leonard said, they did.
Bob Bianchini, former president/CEO of the Oklahoma Credit Union League, said he was delighted at the news of Rogers' entry into the Cornerstone Hall of Fame. "I've known Florence since 1994, when as chair of the Oklahoma League board she offered me the opportunity to come to work for the credit unions of Oklahoma," he said. "Not only was Florence a skilled and effective credit union CEO, she was an inspirational industry leader."
"After the Murrah tragedy and the personal losses Florence suffered, she was a beacon of healing for our credit union family," Bianchini said. "She traveled the country telling the Murrah story and the way credit unions across Oklahoma came together to comfort and support those who were affected by the tragedy. Florence nearly lost her life, but she never lost her credit union spirit, and I don't know of anyone who deserves to be in the Cornerstone CU League Hall of Fame more than Florence Rogers."
Oklahoma Employees Credit Union President/CEO Mark Kelly called Rogers the "Mom of the Oklahoma Credit Unions."
"From the first time you meet Florence, you are charmed by her outgoing personality, her professionalism, and her unbelievable sense of humor," Kelly said. "Having served with Florence on various boards, I've seen what a mentor she was and what a great ambassador she is for the State of Oklahoma."
"When I look at Florence," Kelly said, "I see what a true leader looks like. Those that were lost didn't look at her as a boss, but rather as a friend, a mentor, and to the younger employees, as a second mom. Her professionalism in good and bad times will always be top of the class."
Former president of the Oklahoma Credit Union League, Robert W. Taylor, first met Rogers in 1966 when she was employed at the Capitol Credit Union in Oklahoma City. She served as a volunteer and active member of state and national credit union organizations, as a chapter officer, and as a member of the Oklahoma Credit Union League and the Credit Union National Association board of directors. She was the first woman chair of the Oklahoma Corporate board of directors.
"After my retirement as president of the Oklahoma Credit Union League, I ran for a position on the league board," Taylor said. "I chose Florence to make my nominating speech because I knew that no one in Oklahoma credit unions was held in higher esteem. I have known and admired Florence for 50 years, and I am proud to call her my friend."
The Cornerstone Credit Union League Hall of Fame was created to honor those in the credit union movement who reflect a rich history of service to credit unions through their chapters, their league and, in some cases, the Credit Union National Association. Individuals receiving this prestigious award are viewed as pioneers in the credit union movement. Florence Rogers more than qualifies for this distinction, and we at Cornerstone congratulate her for her service to the credit union movement and for being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

From an IBM document titled 'Eleven habits for highly successful BPM programs'…
Habit #1 – Prove business value first
– Do not forget the focus should be on business value
– Be willing to make trade-offs for the first release
Pick out a challenge that provides business value – do not just do a small starter project. Successful BPM customers have jumped right into solving a business problem that matters.
BPM is agile. You need to take advantage of that – and do not attempt to solve all problems with a single 'big bang' deployment of an end-to-end process. You need to continuously improve and iterate.
My Thoughts…
From my perspective, a company would not purchase BPM software without seeing the value of a BPM solution in their company.
There are many ways to arrive at a value proposition. I like to approach it this way.
First – the problem definition. What are the problems that you feel need to be solved? There has to be at least one reason why you are looking into BPM. Document these reasons.
Second – solution vision. If the world were perfect, the solution to your problems would look like this? At this stage, we really don't care about the software – we care about how that software can solve our problems. How will it be used? How will it make life easier for workers?
Third – defining value. You need to discover how much your problem(s) are costing you. Then if you could really implement your solution vision, how much would that solution save your company? If the savings are greater than the cost of the problems, then why wouldn't you investigate further or make the purchase?
If your solution vision is not available – how close does the software come to your solution vision? Is that close enough for it to make financial sense?
While the economy is sluggish, now is a good time to look into solving real business problems.
Your Thoughts…
What is your approach to defining value?

Year: 1995
Country: United States
Genre: Compilation, BDSM, Bondage, Auto fellatio, Dildos, Orgy Scene, Classic
Time: 00:58:58
Starring: Scorpio, Keith Anthony, Gustavo, Tom Cord, Shawn Gregory, Brad Ford, Ken Edwards
Description: A favored aspect of this Arch Brown film is how the storyline actually enhances the sex. Rather than serve as filler to transition from one sex scene to another, the plot itself - including the suspense-inducing camera work and soundtrack - is part of the sadomasochistic game. It's no wonder ALL TIED UP remains a porn more than two decades after it's Arch Brown has directed more than 18 experimental and mainstream pornos for primarily gay male audiences in the 1970s and into the 90s, including FIVE HARD PIECES, THE NIGHT BEFORE, and the short film TUESDAY, which was busted during it's screening in the First New York Erotic Film Festival. In what has been called the best of his films, Brown casts the gay porno Scorpio, as the star of ALL TIED UP. Scorpio, once a stripper in straight bars, is in full sex-icon status for this video, which aptly puts his studly body, welcoming asshole, and well-honed sex skills to work.

Exodus 18
-Jethro heard all God had done for Israel and came to Moses at the mount of God in the wilderness where Israel camped. Moses went out to his father-in-law in sweet reunion bowing before him and kissing him. They inquired of each other's welfare and Moses told him of all God's deliverance from Pharaoh and Egypt. Jethro acknowledged God as the greatest (the most supreme) because He delivered the people (Israel) when Egypt dealt proudly against them. *Application* This is a key phrase that gives us insight as to why the Lord's wrath came against this nation in such a profound way. God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5). This is a word of wisdom for our own lives as well as our nation.
-They made burnt offerings and sacrifices unto the LORD, and Aaron along with the elders ate a meal with them.
-Jethro saw all the business and all that Moses was doing for the people asking why he sat alone as judge from morning to evening every day. The reason was that the people needed to inquire of God for judgments and disputes of God and His laws.
-Jethro knew that Moses would not last long under this heavy burden and would not be able to endure. He advised him to select out men who: 1) feared God, 2) were of truth, 3) hated dishonest gain (bribes). These would be placed as leaders over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. Moses would handle the major disputes and the others would take care of minor matters after being taught the statutes and laws. *Application* This was done under the principles of endurance, long-term vision, delegation, and multiplying ministry (2 Timothy 2:2). The old saying is true, "I'd rather get ten men to do the work than do the work of ten men." God has crafted us for specific tasks and He wants us to relinquish authority for the betterment of progress and growth in anything we endeavor to do (1 Corinthians 12). God is the designer.
-Moses listened and did all his father-in-law said to do. He received wise counsel humbly and was able to lead for the entire 40 years in the wilderness because of this delegation practice. Moses did not burn out. He was the most humble man in the world (Numbers 12:3).
Verse to Memorize: Exodus 18:24

Tesla Gives Out Range During Hurricane
In the midst of a tragic natural disaster, Tesla owners received a boost. Literally.
According to the Washington Post, during hurricane Irma, Tesla motors gave some of its owners more range. As WAPO reported, some Tesla owners in the hurricane Irma evacuation zone received a boost in battery range from 210 miles up to 249. How did it happen? The boost was given to owners of Tesla vehicles who opted for a 75kwh battery with a computer limit on range. For those owners, more range would have cost more money. During the storm, however, Tesla allowed those cars to use their battery to its full potential, perhaps helping them leave town easier. The increase in range will reportedly be reversed on September 16.
As more EVs make their way onto the roads, do you think more and more automakers will opt for this type of instantaneous network vehicle update?

By Dylan Adlard (L6, S)
The adage 'anatomy precedes physiology' materialised for the Fourth Form biologists, when they had the opportunity to experience the dissecting of a pig's brain. Being able to locate important structures in the pig brain greatly benefits the understanding of how structures are related to each other in the remarkably similar human brain. For an hour, they escaped the confines of the GCSE curriculum to learn, first hand, about the structure of the skull and brain.
Miss Ramsey expertly ran a carousel of activities that allowed the students to discover more about the brain's functions and structures, and how they relate to psychology, injuries and major disorders associated with the brain. She illustrated this with the astonishing example of railway foreman, Phineas Gage, who had a large iron rod driven straight through his brain and survived, but with a completely changed personality.
Finally, a competition was held to see which group could scalpel the brain out of the skull with the most precision.
It was a wonderful opportunity to explore the very basics of neuroscience, and expose the students to what to expect in that line of work. As Miss Knowles commented, "Opportunities like these are invaluable to students. It opens their eyes to the endless career paths that Science offers. Such activities actively engage the students, which promotes enthusiasm which is so important to success."

Christmas is coming
Chad had yesterday off. The first Saturday since he started his new job. It's amazing the things that you take for granted until you don't have them. He was so precious to me to be able to spend a whole weekend with him! He's just the greatest. We spent most of the day shopping. We still have a lot to do before Christmas. I can't believe that it's so close. I'm so excited!!! Christmas is just the greatest. This year my whole family will be together at my parents, even my brother's girlfriend. I don't know when it will happen again. Yeah! I super duper heart her. :) I am so glad that my brothers have such great taste! My baby brother has been talking about going on a mission. I hope that he decides to go. His best friend's suicide really shook him and he's wavered more. He's such a great man, but I don't think he's so sure about that. Christmas Eve we're having a big dinner at Mom and Dad's. We're eating prime rib with all the fixin's and then we'll have cupcakes with candles so that we can sing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. That's one of my favorite family traditions. My dad gets so excited at Christmas. He reminds me a lot of the real Santa Claus. We helped him put together huge fruit baskets for his co-workers after dinner tonight. It's so much fun to help him with his Christmas projects! He's so generous! I love being around him at Christmas. He has this look in his eyes; it's a mixture of hope and childlike innocence. It's like the good all rises up and somehow he can't see the rest. My dad is just the greatest!

Sadly, you can't do this at the moment. Tariffs change very quickly, so what's the best deal for you now might not be the best deal later on. Of course, when your tariff changes, it will hopefully trigger a savings email.
Articles in this section
- My prices are capped - can I still switch?
- Can I switch from one tariff to another with my current supplier?
- What will I pay when my fix ends?
- Why is my direct debit higher when I switch in the winter?

I recently spent big bucks on some name brand sunglasses. To look though them is pure joy. I can wear them in the brightest of place (outside for starters) and clearly see the other side of the street.
I firmly believe that if I buy an expensive set of glasses and they last me 5 to 8 years then I don't mind spending 20 to 400 dollars for them. If you break it down 400 divided by 8 is 50 bucks a year. I do not think I know of any polycarbonate lens that lasts longer than 10 seconds in your pocket without scratching or somehow getting damaged.
I use glass, its slightly heavier but I can rest assured that the lens should be more scratch proof and much nicer on the eye with better clarity and better visibiblity.
Testing the glasses.
to test them I put them on my head and try to jolt my head as if I am in the ride possition and change direction suddenly. Normally my new glasses need a heat treatment and then a bend of the arms and bridge.
I only use windproof frames and I find it helps a lot.
if you have had eye sergury or laser treatment they say to use polarized lenses. I have had neither but my new glasses come with them. Super clear and comfy on the eye. I can see the wind on the water and see how the cats claws strike the water. However, when riding diagonally behind a car ... a problem happens. You cant see in the car. What you do see is the darkening of the windows of the car and sometimes a checkerboard pattern or diamond pattern. its a multi coloured effect that stops you from looking in on the driver. Infact I would even say it is dangerous. you can not see the driver, you cant look into the wing mirrors to see the face of the driver and you sometimes cant see anything inside fro right next to the car.
I do not recommend POLARIZED LENSES fro bike riding
Also some other noticeable things are the screens for my Ipod and phone are un-viewable until I take off my glasses or slide them down my nose.
Computers monitors of the LCD type also suffer imiage degridation but is only medium on the way to rotten.

Review by J. Leigh Designz:
I had the opportunity to review the Fleece Pouch Style Baby Sling from Wahloo and loved that they had a warmer option for baby! First things first- let me tell you out of all the carriers, wraps, and slings I've tried this one is the easiest! It's practically fool proof! If you want to see just how simple it is you can check out a few of their wearing instructional videos, seen here. The fleece is super warm and super soft! Easily washable! More washable then any other I've tried! I love that literally throwing it over your shoulder is all it takes! You simply open the pieces of fabric and slide the baby in! The pocket is not only good sized but fashionable as well.

When did you or your babies start learning the letters of the alphabet? I don't know the average range but I'm so proud to say that at 1 yr and 11months old baby can already easily recognize the letters of the alphabet!
She always shouts the letters she sees on your shirt, on the streamers, on the food carts, on my computer's keyboard, or just about everywhere!
I would still say that the learning was mostly influenced by the educational dvds we bought for them.
Right now both my girls are learning numbers from 1-50=)
My new found hobby..
Taking pictures! I've enjoyed doing this for quite some time now but never really had the chance to buy a good camera. Anyhow, now that I have a digital camera along with me, i'll try to show you how I see things my way.=)

If you can pay money to make changes to the utility room and walls that you have so that pipes and a power unit plus large canister could be installed then you should definitely consider using your hard-earned financial resources to have a central vacuum system established. When it comes to cleaning, this type of system is one that is reliable. It's more powerful than a typical vacuum cleaner that's portable and can let you reduce your cleaning time. But, if you're interested in having one set up in your home, it is important that you make yourself familiar with how one works and the parts that are involved in the process of centralized vacuuming of filth. Plus, you still have to examine the major areas if not the entirety of your home to know whether or not you could manage to have a central vacuum system installed. For some practical tips or a guide to buying the aforementioned type of setup, please read some more.
Obviously, the easiest way to go about purchasing things that could let you establish a centralized vacuum system in your house is to check out articles on the internet that are Central Vacuum Reviews. That's so you would see which home and business owners have taken advantage of. Also, in doing so, it would be possible for you to find out the basics when it comes to choosing between different products. After all, though manufacturers want to serve customers in the same way by helping people get rid of filth from their home, you have to understand that different central vacuum systems work uniquely. Some come with a high-efficiency particulate air filter that can help a lot when it comes to sanitation since it can forcefully trap air into a fine mesh. There are those that are without a filter and direct that which is sucked in into a large bin, too. Depending on your budget, preference, and needs, there are various products that you could check out. Of course, the more features that are available, the more expensive a system gets (usually). Get that which you can afford, are comfortable with and can help you with your house instead of simply going for recommendations immediately so that you'd make the most of your money and time.
There's no point in underestimating the power of a central vacuum system since it comes with a power unit that's more powerful compared to that which a typical vacuum cleaner has. Plus, usually, a central vacuum device has a muffler that makes vacuuming less noisy and even bearable. A central vacuum system can also let you not only get more dirt sucked and disposed of but also reduce your exposure to unwanted elements since the container where waste are stored can store up to about ten kilos of filth. This means that you wouldn't have to repeatedly clean or maintain your unit when you'd go for a central vacuum system.

Rich man poor woman dating
There are thousands of rich men seeking young women and vice verse who registered their personals ads at online dating sites. Most women are frustrated about the lack of good men out there. They can find good men out there but they may not have secure finances.A beautiful woman needs to be served by respectful treat with a quality guy who is good and financially stable.You can buy an expensive automobile, which impresses some people.Wealthy Men Looking For Young Women for dating and relationship is a common thing.Wouldn't marrying a rich person be like winning the lottery?
Conversely, poorer men are often more supportive of their partners' careers."Couples who encourage each other to fulfill their professional dreams tend to be happier," says Joshua Coleman, author of Marriage Makeover.
You don't want to go out with a guy who usually forgets his wallet and has you pay for dinner, a guy who can't afford to take you to a good restaurant you want, etc.
It does not matter how good his personality is, you don't want to go out with such a guy.

Stocks discussed on Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! TV program, Tuesday March 7.
There will be no Cramer recap published on Thursday March 9.
First Niagra (NASDAQ:FNFG), First Merit (NASDAQ:FMER), PNC Financial (NYSE:PNC), Telestra (OTCPK:TTRAF), Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO)
Cramer discussed the rise of super-regional banks with First Niagra, which is set to buy up $4.2 billion in deposits and 57 branches in Pennsylvania from National City, which is owned by PNC. Cramer thinks First Niagra has further to go and he also thinks First Merit is another great regional bank to watch.
Bloomberg has announced a $30.5 billion infrastructure project in Australia to improve 3G wireless connectivity. Although Australian company Telestra may be the main beneficiary, Cisco also stands to gain from the project, and Cramer thinks Cisco is worth watching even though it reported a lackluster quarter.

This presentation talks about the subtle changes made through design in products that manipulate our audiences to make decisions. Sometimes we have to design something in a negative way to promote something positive. This takes away people's power to choose, enabling us to push a change we want to see in the world. Are we designing for manipulation or to push people in a positive direction?

Kids on Fire Author Spotlight: Robert Cormier Wrote YA Novels Before There Was A YA Genre
Many of us read these Robert Cormier novels in high school, and they continue to win new fans to this day. Cormier was among the first authors to write books for teens that respected them and didn't talk down to them. That's a major reason why these novels continue to stand the test of time. Cormier's novels can be dark, but these are all rated as appropriate for ages 12 and up.
I Am The Cheese (4/5 stars, currently priced at $8.45)
Before there was Lois Lowry's The Giver or M. T. Anderson's Feed, there was Robert Cormier's I Am the Cheese, a subversive classic that broke new ground for YA literature.
A boy's search for his father becomes a desperate journey to unlock a secret past. But the past must not be remembered if the boy is to survive. As he searches for the truth that hovers at the edge of his mind, the boy—and readers—arrive at a shattering conclusion.
"An absorbing, even brilliant job. The book is assembled in mosaic fashion: a tiny chip here, a chip there. . . . Everything is related to something else; everything builds and builds to a fearsome climax. . . . [Cormier] has the knack of making horror out of the ordinary, as the masters of suspense know how to do."—The New York Times Book Review
"A horrifying tale of government corruption, espionage, and counter espionage told by an innocent young victim. . . . The buildup of suspense is terrific."—School Library Journal, starred review
An ALA Notable Children's Book
A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
A Horn Book Fanfare
A Library of Congress Children's Book of the Year
A Colorado Blue Spruce Young Adult Book Award Nominee
The Bumblebee Flies Anyway (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $5.12)
They are all going to die. All of the patients at the Complex are terminal, with no hope of reprieve. But they've volunteered to come here, to this experimental clinic to allow themselves to be test subjects. Still, they're all going to die.
All except Barney. Barney cannot remember much about his life before the Complex, but he knows that he's there as a control. To see how the drugs being tested will affect a nonterminal patient.
And then they start testing a new drug on him . . . one that will affect his memory.
And Barney starts to remember things he doesn't want to remember.
Fade (4/5 stars, currently priced at $5.99)
IT IS THE summer of 1938 when young Paul Moreaux discovers he can "fade."
First bewildered, then thrilled with the power of invisibility, Paul experiments. But his "gift" soon shows him shocking secrets and drives him toward a chilling act.
"Imagine what might happen if Holden Caufield stepped into H. G. Wells' The Invisible Man, and you'll have an idea how good Fade is. . . . I was absolutely riveted."—Stephen King
The Chocolate War (3.5/5 stars, currently priced at $8.45)
One of the most controversial YA novels of all time, The Chocolate War is a modern masterpiece that speaks to fans of S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders and John Knowles's A Separate Peace.
After suffering rejection from seven major publishers, The Chocolate War made its debut in 1974, and quickly became a bestselling—and provocative—classic for young adults. This chilling portrait of an all-boys prep school casts an unflinching eye on the pitfalls of conformity and corruption in our most elite cultural institutions.
"Masterfully structured and rich in theme; the action is well crafted, well timed, suspenseful."—The New York Times Book Review
"The characterizations of all the boys are superb."—School Library Journal, starred review
"Compellingly immediate. . . . Readers will respect the uncompromising ending."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
An ALA Best Book for Young Adults
A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
A Kirkus Reviews Editor's Choice
A New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year

I have gotten to know a wonderful group of individuals who are hillarious and totally creative. Maggie i have know for a while now, Zack i knew a little bit, Shelby is one of my residents so i knew her in a professinal setting, Jackey i was gald to meet and work with and Jake has rounded out our group so well it is amazing. We all have laughed, screamed, howled with joy and made complete fools of ourselves in the last few days perfecting our presentation! I love it. Each one of us bring something new and totally different to our group. Plus we all have great senses of humor which has made working with these five individuals, for me, a great experience. I usually do not like group projects, i can admit it, i am kind of a control freak when it comes to assignments but this group has made it super easy. We all had a vision and our work together went without a hitch. You are all in for a huge suprise and treat tomorrow in class with GROUP 5!!!! Thanks you guys for making this so much fun and so funny!chloe Bjorklundhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-21856938509378877052009-04-28T21:59:00.000-07:002009-04-28T22:16:52.608-07:00Perhaps our wings have turned into something else, something my generation can relate to better than the idea of people having the ability to fly. I believe that our wings of love and laughter have turned into the capes and costumes of our heroes and heroins. Wonder Woman who stands for justice, peace and hope; Superman who is the universal symbol of a hero and Batman the protector of Gothem City and the innocent lives that inhabit it. I think that perhaps our ideals about wings and their powers have been transferred into that of the cape and the flying superhero. But what does that mean for the rest of us that still have no super powers and our magic wands don't seem to actually cast our spells, even when we concentrate.
 I believe that this is a wake up call. We need to as a people, as a society, as a class come together and find what makes us happiest. That is our little bit of magic. If we can hold onto what makes us happiest we will be connecting with our former selves, back to the time when we had wings and one true sole mate we were destined to meet young. Those ideals of reality no longer exist for us, so i believe that it is the small things that we must hold onto. Those little moments when we are reminded of our true selves, when our shoulders itch, and experience them for as long as we can. As long as the world will let us.

 They can be hard to recognise but i know for myself as i think of what makes me happiest i think of this afternoon; watching the snow come down as i laughed for over an hour with my boyfriend about nothing. We simply told each other stories, tickled and pocked our sides and laughed at all the silly and stupid faces we could make. We even found having a staring contest completely hilarious. For me, i hope to continue to laugh with him each day and every day until i am too old to laugh with my whole body, nostrils flaring.

Well, I've been thinking allot today with the addition of this nice snow shower. What happens to lost children? Those little ones that fall out of their prams when busy nurses aren't looking, who wander away down the isle at Walmart, who sleep and dream but don't wake up with the sun? We always say there is a better place that our little lost ones go to, or else they go to purgatory along with all the other unbaptised non-catholics. But what if they are simply in never land.

i mean it people, i am serious. What if all those miscarried babies and lost siblings are simply flying through the clouds playing pirates and Indians all day long and sleeping by the water side next to the mermaids. That is where i would want to go. Not to purgatory or heaven but to Never Never Land. Where i could fly with Tinkerbell and her fairy dust while tying flowers and feathers to my hair. Never again, always sunny and happy; full of adventure, danger and singing. That sounds like every stressed out grown-ups dream vacation. Lay by the water getting sun while chatting about the island gossip with the mermaids. Or leaving brief cases and trader info behind for a bow and arrow to shoot at Captain Hook and his dirty, tattooed pirates who sing from their ship.

But taking a second look i once again see that my seemingly unique ideal is simply a repeat o Steiner's struggles. This one being the struggle between aged and youth, captain hook and peter pan. Unfortunately for me all that is past still possesses all that is my present. I wonder when i will have a thought uniquely mine and wholly original?
chloe Bjorklundhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-34176515694937286212009-04-27T19:28:00.002-07:002009-04-27T19:33:41.787-07:00sunday morning by wallace stevens
when i spell checked that poem from the original form i copied there were eight spelling errors. of course i wanted to fix them but did not. i have read and reread this poem in the hopes of having its full understanding and meaning, but alas i am afraid that perhaps our dear Professor is right, it will take us another twenty years to have its full meaning.

however, i am still trying to read it once a day because i like it.

1 Complacencies of the peignoir, and late Coffee and oranges in a sunny chair, And the green freedom of a cockatoo Upon a rug mingle to dissipate The holy hush of ancient sacrifice. She dreams a little, and she feels the dark Encroachment of that old catastrophe, As a calm darkens among water-lights. The pungent oranges and bright, green wings Seem things in some procession of the dead, Winding across wide water, without sound. The day is like wide water, without sound. Stilled for the passing of her dreaming feet Over the seas, to silent Palestine, Dominion of the blood and sepulchre. 2 Why should she give her bounty to the dead? What is divinity if it can come Only in silent shadows and in dreams? Shall she not find in comforts of the sun, In pungent fruit and bright green wings, or else In any balm or beauty of the earth, Things to be cherished like the thought of heaven? Divinity must live within herself: Passions of rain, or moods in falling snow; Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued Elations when the forest blooms; gusty Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights; All pleasures and all pains, remembering The bough of summer and the winter branch. These are the measure destined for her soul. 3 Jove in the clouds had his inhuman birth. No mother suckled him, no sweet land gave Large-mannered motions to his mythy mind. He moved among us, as a muttering king, Magnificent, would move among his hinds, Until our blood, commingling, virginal, With heaven, brought such requital to desire The very hinds discerned it, in a star. Shall our blood fail? Or shall it come to be The blood of paradise? And shall the earth Seem all of paradise that we shall know? The sky will be much friendlier then than now, A part of labor and a part of pain, And next in glory to enduring love, Not this dividing and indifferent blue. 4 She says, "I am content when wakened birds, Before they fly, test the reality Of misty fields, by their sweet questionings; But when the birds are gone, and their warm fields Return no more, where, then, is paradise?" There is not any haunt of prophecy, Nor any old chimera of the grave, Neither the golden underground, nor isle Melodious, where spirits gat them home, Nor visionary south, nor cloudy palm Remote on heaven's hill, that has endured As April's green endures; or will endure Like her remembrance of awakened birds, Or her desire for June and evening, tipped By the consummation of the swallow's wings. 5 She says, "But in contentment I still feel The need of some imperishable bliss." Death is the mother of beauty; hence from her, Alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams And our desires. Although she strews the leaves Of sure obliteration on our paths, The path sick sorrow took, the many paths Where triumph rang its brassy phrase, or love Whispered a little out of tenderness, She makes the willow shiver in the sun For maidens who were wont to sit and gaze Upon the grass, relinquished to their feet. She causes boys to pile new plums and pears On disregarded plate. The maidens taste And stray impassioned in the littering leaves. 6 Is there no change of death in paradise? Does ripe fruit never fall? Or do the boughs Hang always heavy in that perfect sky, Unchanging, yet so like our perishing earth, With rivers like our own that seek for seas They never find, the same receding shores That never touch with inarticulate pang? Why set pear upon those river-banks Or spice the shores with odors of the plum? Alas, that they should wear our colors there, The silken weavings of our afternoons, And pick the strings of our insipid lutes! Death is the mother of beauty, mystical, Within whose burning bosom we devise Our earthly mothers waiting, sleeplessly. 7 Supple and turbulent, a ring of men Shall chant in orgy on a summer morn Their boisterous devotion to the sun, Not as a god, but as a god might be, Naked among them, like a savage source. Their chant shall be a chant of paradise, Out of their blood, returning to the sky; And in their chant shall enter, voice by voice, The windy lake wherein their lord delights, The trees, like serafin, and echoing hills, That choir among themselves long afterward. They shall know well the heavenly fellowship Of men that perish and of summer morn. And whence they came and whither they shall go The dew upon their feel shall manifest. 8 She hears, upon that water without sound, A voice that cries, "The tomb in Palestine Is not the porch of spirits lingering. It is the grave of Jesus, where he lay." We live in an old chaos of the sun, Or old dependency of day and night, Or island solitude, unsponsored, free, Of that wide water, inescapable. Deer walk upon our mountains, and the quail Whistle about us their spontaneous cries; Sweet berries ripen in the wilderness; And, in the isolation of the sky, At evening, casual flocks of pigeons make Ambiguous undulations as they sink, Downward to darkness, on extended wings.

Hearing the stories of my babyhood but not remembering my own memories, at first i thought of the lullabies i sing to my sister when she is sad. I sing to her about Wink'n Blink'n and Nod and their adventure in the wooden shoe. Where did i first learn that song? Who sang it to me when i was sad and tired? Unwilling to remember the truth that no one in my family had sung to me as a child i moved on.
 What about the songs that my children will hear from me? What song will i make for them as i hold them at night, rocking them as they drift into the land of dreams. i hope that my song to them will be as memorable as the song from Zack's mother for him so many years after. I hope that when they hear that song they can think of me in a warm flannel shirt holding them tight in my tan arms. Feeling my long hair rub against their skin and the soothing melodies of my voice. That is my hope for my future.

 How did Niobe hold her children? She had so many and loved them all. Loved them all until her pride consumed her leading to her demise and that of her family. If she had not turned to stone how could she have lived with out them? Each one taking a piece of her heart and holding onto it as they slipped into the welcoming loving arms of Persephone and Hades. How could she have continued knowing that it was her pride that doomed their futures? That is every mother's fear, to out live their children.

 That is why Hecuba and the Trojan women wept and begged for the death of Helen. To give them some comfort for their lost children. How is it that fathers and mothers, grandmothers and grandfathers can live without their children? It's not fair that the world we live in can bring such heartache. How are we to cope?

 The only thing i can think of that can sooth the souls of those that have lost what is most precious in life, is music. That is Hermes and Mozart and Bach. The soothing and heart wrenching melodies of those artists that have been guided by the gods to bring peace through their melodies.

The idea that it is one of Steiner's five conflicts, the conflict between both age and youth and person and state. How many times have i begun an argument or fight with someone older than myself and changed my mind or backed down from my point simply because of my feeling of respect?
 Well i will tell you the answer, often. I will admit that i am the argumentative sort when i get together with my whole family, we all just say that it runs in our blood. How come then any time i think back to those arguments that i always seem to loose. Not because i cannot support my ideas and beliefs with facts but because i am afraid to push my elders too far and have them think i am disrespectful. Where does this crazy idea of respect come from?

 Antigone fought for what she believed to be right. She stood up to someone who was not just older but more powerful and the father of her faience. At my age she was able to fight for what she believes in knowing that her punishment will be death! That idea is crazy. I would fight for my family and for their rights but would i really go against my future husband's father and society to know that my consequences would be my death. I would like to say that i would do what she did and be as strong as her but there is no way to know that for sure. I hope that when my time comes to be strong and be a leader for what i know to be right that i will have the courage and the gumption to do it.

 My ten year old sister, Sophia, asks me these questions as i read to her the story of Ovid's transformation. Sitting on the phone, laying in bed knowing that she is hundreds of miles away in her own bed in our old house with our old mother, listening to my voice; to the story she has never heard before but heard a milllion life times ago. How can i answer her? All these questions are my own, coming to life for me through the innocent mind of my baby sister.

 I tell her that the child is me, that he lives in all grown ups but we don't know it. I tell her that she is more like the child today at ten years old then i have been in over a decade. She laughs at me and reminds me that we are not boys, we are girl. I smile and tell her thank you for reminding me for i had forgotten, in my best sarcastic but loving tone.

 She does not understand me and my pathetic attemps at being deep but i know in my heart that the story of the child is the story of her youth. Growing older, leaving the world of immagination and creativity behind for one that is dark and opressive i have begun to forget. Living within the bounds of society, trying to be an adult myself, i see what i have lost when i look at her. When for a brief moment i remember what it is like to see the world through her eyes. Eyes that see possiblity and dreams when she looks into the afternoon clouds compared with my eyes, that simply think of the coming rain and what it will do for my already flooded lawn.

 How can i ge that back? That is my qestion; how can i have her eyes and my mind as i continue to experiecne life she has not begun to even think of.

Being happy as clams before they knew the truth then having their lives falling apart with the knowledge that they could be sick. That their children could be sick from their unlucky fate. That got me thinking about what i would do? What price would i pay for love? Would i give up the approval of society, family and friends to keep my true love with me? Would i be okay knowing that i could never have children that look like me, have my eyes, my nose and my black hair without risking their health. I don't know but i do know that i have never experienced anything as strange in my own life and through catharsis.chloe Bjorklundhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-85891815747905587002009-04-26T15:32:00.000-07:002009-04-26T15:55:26.766-07:00family I went to a wedding shower this weekend with my boyfriend. We have only been together for a few days but we have been best friends for months. We drove an hour or so and reached his grandmother's house. Meeting his family that night and then the happy couple on Saturday was a fun and frightening experience. I have never liked a family as much since i was a kid, meeting my first boyfriend's family. His farmore is the cutest and nicest little old Swedish woman with the exception of my own Swedish great grandmother. His family welcomed me with smiles and open arms, i felt right at home. It was odd.
 A few days ago i broke up with my boyfriend of over a year and this weekend i met my new family. It was great. The world is crazy and it makes me wonder if all really is suffer and fleeting? How is it that Niobe, Hecuba, Iphigenia, and Actaeon suffered till their hearts broke but mine can break and heal while i fall in love with a new someone? Life is something i will never understand but i do believe that the fates and destiny and perhaps even chance are playing with my heart.

"The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by" is a quote from one of my favorite movies, Sleepless in Seattle. I hope that this is true.

I decided it was time to stop waiting. I can wait no longer for the light in his eyes to return. For the laugh that makes me smile when my heart needs it most to come back. I am tired of waiting for the man i fell in love with so many years ago to come home at night and hold me like he once did when we were young.
 He is a new man, my old man. And it took me a long time to figure it out but once i did my decision was easy. The hardest part was knowing that he does not care. I have not had the desire to see him but i have seen a few of our friends. I hate knowing that he does not miss me, does not want our life back.

 Since my experience and journey through this class started so many months ago, i believed that i had experienced my "rock bottom" to quote the cliche. But sitting on my green king sized comforter crossed legged crying until i was barely able to think, i told him i was leaving; that my desire to fight for our relationship is gone and having him look at me with nothing in his eyes. He did not speak at all, he sat still and held me while i cried telling me its okay. That he is okay.

 That's how it ended, with me crying, feeling like i couldn't breath with him walking out my front door. How much can the human heart handle? If each day we experience catharsis through television, news and literature, how much more do we subject ourselves to conciously or subconciously?

snow, how you made me smile when i walked home at night. how you kept me feeling safe and warm so far away from my family at Christmas.

snow, how i hate your coming. How i needed there to be green grass to lay on today. How i needed to be comforted by the warmth of the sun. feeling the soft soothing touch of the wind on my shoulders laying on the beach absorbing the light.

laying in the fields of Roskie watching the cars pass and the boys playing basketball while i dream to the sounds of michale sexton. his soothin melodies fill my heart with the sounds of life, life beating bellow me. life beating above. the sunshine flowing down upon my burnt skin helping my cells to regenerate and die faster. making me look older each moment i enjoy the sunhine.

snow, i need you to leave, to let me once again fell the sun upon my petals. i need you to let me grow older with the help of your brother Apollo the God of the sun. to long i have lived in the shadows and the bone chilling bite of your temper. What i need most today is to feel the sun.

Magic and my heart<o:p></o:p>

When I think of my life, my aspirations and the hopes and dreams I have for my future one thing comes to mind…magic. What is it about this mythological idea of the supernatural that captivates my heart and mind?  While reading about metamorphosis: gods and goddesses changing into humans, humans changing into beasts; this idea that the immortal life is somehow intertwined with magic; I thought of what else comes to mind when thinking of this all encompassing word magic? For me there is no other first thought than the fanciful tale of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. But it is not only Harry Potter that comes to mind after a few extra seconds of pondering but also the new teenage craze of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.  What is it about this idea of immortality and magic that possesses the stories of the past and of the present? I believe it is a human desire within all of us to discover what is hidden and find a way to reconnect with the stories of the past gods and goddesses of Olympus which are riddled with magic and can only be believed and seen with childhood innocence. <o:p></o:p>

Throughout this class I have wondered what it is that makes each o us fall in love with a tale from the past. Whether it is the moving scenes with Hecuba and the Trojan Women or watching Echo chase after Narcissus or just maybe it is the idea that Persephone is happy in the underworld with her ghostly husband Hades. Whatever story a person identifies with there is always a connection to what has past and what is to come, because in all of the tales there are elements of magic; magic coming from all different sources but coming alive through the worlds on the page none the less. Magic turns king Midas's ears into asses ears, magic eases Niobe's pain by turning her into stone and magic definitely helps Hades open the earth when stealing Persephone into the under world.  But the question I have is why this magic is important and why do people today still want to be a part of it?  Not whether or not these events took place because I know in my heart 100% that they did and continue to occur today, in the age of technology and iron. <o:p></o:p>

Today there are no more stories of gods throwing thunder and goddesses turning women into spiders. No, today the stories are a little different, focusing on the power of humans rather than on the power of the gods. Harry Potter is a series of books that tell the tale of one boy, named Harry, and his journey into a magical world with his friends. When I watch the movies and read the stories it is not the riveting plot that has me coming back for more. Nor is it the exciting relationships between boy and girl, no, it is the idea behind all of it that enthralls my mind. The idea that hidden somewhere close by is a land of make believe. Where castles are something to live in, mermaids are in the back yard lake and magic wands help cast magic spells. I want to believe that my imagination's desires truly can become my reality if I try hard enough and look deep enough. This is why the tale of Harry Potter has captured the hearts of millions of young children and old adults, because we all want to believe in the make believe.  <o:p></o:p>

Twilight is another phenomenon that has recently swept the nation. With records of ticket sales flying off of the charts and a dedicated fan base this vampire filled tale has stolen the hearts of young girls and adults alike. Why is it that another book about vampires, with a story line that has already been told is now making another comeback into popular culture?  For some it is the handsome love interest Edward, for other it is the action pact killing of the James, the stories protagonist. However, for the majority of Americans quickly falling in love with the series by Stephenie Meyer it is the ideas behind the plot and characters that is creating such hysteria. There is a wonderful idea of magic behind the eyes of Bella, waiting to become immortal. Her story starting as any other girl's would, ordinary.  However, as the books continues so does Bella's struggle for immortality which is her way into what has been lost; a world of magical creatures both good and evil. Once again there is the idea of magic transcending the world we all know and are familiar with and forcing us to remember the dreams of our childhood fancies that have somehow been forgetting with age.    Exciting and desirable because if we believe that it is true, that someone can metamorphosis into a powerful being then we are allowing our childhood imagination to grow once again.  The innocence with which children dream and see reality leaves as people grow into adulthood. As the responsibilities of life, children and families creep into our thoughts; turning laugh lines into worry lines the eyes with which we use to see a sparkly castle with pink princess begin to blur until finally only the cold reality of daylight can be seen.  It is the longing for our past selves that make people continue to watch movies and read stories that are riddled with magic.  This ideal that, if we believe hard enough along with a pinch of fairy dust, anything is possible. That any idea can become reality if we believe in the magic of our youth.  This is why people are drawn to fanciful stories however old and familiar because they remind us of a younger time, a time when reality had a hint of sparkle. <o:p></o:p>

The fame of her beauty spread far and wide and soon many people came to worship her. Meanwhile the real goddess of love, Venus (Aphrodite) became neglected as fewer people came to her temples to make offerings and pay her homage.
Venus grew jealous of Psyche and turned to her son Cupid (Eros) for help. She told Cupid to go and shoot Psyche with an arrow as to make her fall in love with the most vile and horrible creature on the earth. Cupid took up his bow and arrow, flew earthward, had one look at Psyche and was lost. No victim of his gold arrows was more deeply in love than he.

Psyche's sisters began to arouse suspicion and fear that her husband of the dark was not some handsome god, but really the serpent monster prophesied by the oracle of Apollo. "Be careful or one night he would devour you," they warned her "arm yourself with a sharp knife, and check out his face with a lamp when he's asleep."

Psyche's heart began to fill with terror instead of love. That very night she did as her sisters suggested and when her husband was asleep, she took a sharp dagger to bed and lit her oil lamp. When the light came on, she realized it was not a monster but the most beautiful man she had ever seen. In fact, her husband was none other than Cupid himself in all his glory. Shocked by her finding, she trembled and a drop of hot oil from the lamp fell on Cupid's shoulder and the pain awakened him. At the sight of this mistrust, Cupid fled without a word.

When i first held this rock months ago, when it was found outside and was handed around class, i noticed that it smells. Our class rock smells of dirt. Thick, gritty and ugly dirt. When i smell this rock and put it close to my nose i can smell the dirt but i can also taste the grit and the bugs that once crawled around in the dirt that also covered this strange rock. The rock is translucent, almost, and has opalescent coloring deep inside. It glimmers and shimmers and has three distinct layers. The base being dark grey, translucent and with flecks of orange in the bottom. The second layer is while. Opaque white with bits of dust and dirt embedded in the rock slits. The top layer is clear and shiny with the colors of the rainbow like a prism. This rock is cool, it has so many shards and pieces that seem like they do not fit together but are somehow perfectly in place. I hope that everyone else enjoys this rock and can see how wonderful it is too.chloe Bjorklundhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-39599599486040889852009-03-31T20:48:00.001-07:002009-03-31T20:48:54.713-07:00essay on Ovid
I have not been so wholly taken by one piece of work as I have been for the past few days reading and re-reading An Imaginary life by David Malouf.  The child, who is the child? Is he real, is he a dream that Ovid has created in his desperation of exile. Each moment for Ovid is new and can teach him a lesson; capturing the child, becoming the child. Has Ovid become the child and regressed to his youth in insanity? Or is he alive and well, living in the wanders of the abyss with a little boy who has not yet reached his man hood, his peak of life. The ending is so simple, along with the beginning. Each is beautiful and full of light and lovely language. The child is all consuming for Ovid, he is friends with the child, tries to teach him about life and finally he is learning from the child. The transformation for Ovid himself was in his journey with his child. It was in his growth and in his own mental and physical transformations that were similar to the Tales From Ovid. This book was a personal journey that is relatable to our own lives today in the relationships of the family and tribal members. The story behind this book is fanciful and plays with the idea of imagination and connecting with nature, which is a theme that is present still today. But it was so much more and holds so many more lessons about life and learning that are like nothing I have read before. <o:p></o:p>

For me, this book has touched different heart strings which have already been plucked through the duration of this class. While reading the Trojan Women by Euripides the queen of Troy has to put her grandson in his grave. Make him at home in his father's shield; his last resting place now that Troy has fallen to Achilles and the Greek Kings. In An Imaginary Life, the old woman must also watch her grandson and care for him because he is on the verge of dying. However, he does not die and becomes well in the end it is her son that dies. The old woman is forced to bury her son and watch him die before her; being possessed by an animal spirit.  Why is it that watching a child die before their time and before their parents is one of the hardest losses of human life? Life, it means to live with one's self and the generations before and after, or so my grandmother tells me. But when I asked her what would cause her the most pain in this world she told me that loosing her daughter would be the hardest test of her life. To have to bury her body and watch her life end before hers is close to being over. That would be the hardest for any mother to endure. But I wonder if the pain of a mother losing a child is the same for a father? Is the suffering of men the same suffering of women? <o:p></o:p>

But my great grandma Ruby died recently. She was 94 years old and was living up in an assisted living home in Gladstone, Mi. She is tall, five feet and nine inches with a curly grey wig and a great smile. Ruby was the nicest and softest woman i have ever known. I remember going to Michigan each summer since i was about 5 and playing cards in her garage while my uncles drank miller lights and ate venicin jerky. those are the best memories from my child hood. As i have gotten older she had a little more trouble walking, reaching for things in the cubbord and a couple years ago my Grandpa Don put her into the assisted living home. Now she would just play cards there durring the week with friends and does puzzles when she is alone. I never thought she would leave. I couldn't make it to her funeral and I am glad that i did not go but i wish that i could've seen her again before she died. I did not know her that well but I know that i want to and i miss her. I have not creid yet but i know that when i have to go to Michigan this fourth of july and see my family there without her it will be hard not to miss her and want her there. Life is not fun all the time and i wish that all was happy and all was lasting.chloe Bjorklundhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-25645775157219617842009-03-10T21:24:00.000-07:002009-03-10T21:35:04.327-07:00class 3-10-09I just finished the Trojan Women by Euripides. The beginning, where Poseidon and Athena are discussing the fate of the Greeks after they have destroyed Troy and desecrated the temple of Athena was amazing. But when I saw the pain and passion behind Hecuba and Andromache my heart ached. To have to loose your husband, sons, daughters and grandsons. That is a person's worst night mare and the worst pain for a parent and wife. I am sad that movies today and the stories have made the fall of Troy seem so epic and wonderful for the Greeks. And i am sure it was a great triumph and victory after 10 years, but to not see your enemy as human is the greatest error of human kind. To think that simply because an enemy is set up against you makes them less than deserving of respect and dignity is a true crime. I do not envy any of the Trojan women or the Greek women who have all suffered and lost loved one. But i am proud that Agamemnon will be recieving punishment for killing his daughter. A mother's rage is nothing to be compared to or dealt with.chloe Bjorklundhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-13060450370256990942009-03-08T20:51:00.000-07:002009-03-08T20:57:35.368-07:00class 3/6/09When Jenny Lynn did her presentation of the ending of Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce I was blown away. the words were like music, full of emotions, passion and longing. It was overwhelming to feel the ending of a life and the beginning of a new one in the cyclical style of the book. I was stunned at how beautifully it was delivered and with such heart. I do wish however that Jenny could have danced, but i know that she tore her ACL earlier this year. I bet the interpretive dance that accompanies the speech would be amazing. The idea of remembering people that have passed is so prominent and important to the oral tradition and culture. before we had digital pictures, movies and books of tape people had to remember their favorite stories, they had to remember what their friends looked like in their youth to keep their memories alive. when someone dies it is important to remember them and i wish that our culture still believed in story telling, in more than the use for gossip. i wish we still recited epic adventures and poems, remembering every detail. I do love the idea of a Tally. to keep a friend close to your memory with a coin that you keep for 50 years! that is great. that would be a great story, to write the life of one of those coins and the hands that hey pass to over geneations and ages.chloe Bjorklundhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-23277872467094103022009-03-08T20:39:00.000-07:002009-03-08T20:51:05.558-07:00class 3-8-09I think that after looking at my own movies, jokes that my friends tell and the t.v. i watch, my generation's style of comedy is more like oldcomedy than new comedy. Yes, there are cute, teen, movies that boys chasing girls they cannot have till the end but most of the t.v. shows like South Park, Comedy Central, Family Guy and several others are based on crude, vulgar humor. Movies especially are now old comedy styled. American Pie, Superbad, Knocked Up and others are defenitely vulgar, and full of sexual inuendoes. Personally, i like a little of both. I like that vular, cheap humor but i also like happy endings where the guys gets the nice girl and they live happily ever after. Forgetting Sara Marshall, Nick and Nora's infinate playlist and Driving Lessons are a couple examples. However, i do think that fantasy movies are making a huge come back for my generation. Happy Potter, Lord of the Rings, Narnia and Twilight are a few popular choices. I do wish that classics would make a bigger impact on my generation and the generations to come. Movies like Breakfast at Tiffanys, Tale of Two Cities, Pilgrim's Progress, Sabrina and so many others.chloe Bjorklundhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-31594386433460605752009-03-05T17:39:00.002-08:002009-03-05T17:45:12.034-08:00class 3/5/09so, about having a bad day....well i just had mine today. it was not the worst day of my life but it sure was the worst for my self asteem. i am an RA on campus and we have to have at least 80% of our resididents fill out this on line survey of how we are doing as an RA each semester. i have a full floor of 55 residents and as of today i still need 22 people to fill it out. if i do not reach 80% by noon tomorrow i will be put on probation! awesome news. so i was thinking about that when my boyfriend came over. we were hanging out and having fun just watching t.v. and talk. well, then he started to check facebook and needless to say that led to a large arguement! great, we argued about my jelousy issues, my drama issues, and my inconsiderateness towards his needs with his friends. basically i was told that i am a terrible girlfriend even though yesterday was our anniversay. after a long "cool off period" i.e. i made him leave my room and did not call him for hours. when we finally did talk he again told me how horrible i am but how sorry he is for telling me that. then he said that it was all his accusations were lies and that he has changed his mind. i am great and he did not mean any of it. well, isn't that great. which is it? am i great or the devil reincarnate? i feel like Hermes after he has been accused of causing tons of trouble for Apollo and Zeus but at least he has an excuse..." i was born yesterday"chloe Bjorklundhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-8305273720484583612009-02-26T09:52:00.000-08:002009-02-26T10:11:57.421-08:00class 2/25/09I am not sure if i agree with Anamnesis, it sounds a little unlikely. however, who am i to say that when i was a baby i did not know everything possible, i just forgot it as i got older. it is amazing to think that babies are able to understand all the knowledge of the world. Though one thing i do agree with is the idea of starting small with love. it amy not be practical to start by loving a tree, a rock, a cloud. Even though i do not think that starting with smaller objects to build your wayt to loveing a woman is practical. I do think it is important to appreciate what is smaller and to enjoy all the world around. it is a good thought to want to appreciate all things and not just the human body of a woman. my favorite part of class was the meaning of Sophia. My little sister is named Sophia. She is ten, i am not sure how wise she is right now but some day i am sure she will be. But i find it odd that Phil means love, every phil i have know has been a dunce. but once again all that is past possesses the present.chloe Bjorklundhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-25295235465855041862009-02-26T09:43:00.000-08:002009-02-26T09:52:24.326-08:00classOver the weekend i attended a conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was for delegates from each school in the region to pass legislation and constitutional changes. A tradition at all the conferences is to try to steel the Ten Inch Thing! it is a huge plastic orange doll. Each school steels it, or at lest tries to and who ever can take it home gets the pride of the biggest honor. on the 3rd day of the conference I stole the Thing and was able to hold onto it, litteraly, for 12 hours straight. including eating and using the restroom! I felt just like Hermes when he is causing mischief for all the gods. I wanted to say "but i was just born yesterday" to everyone that tried to steel it from me! It was wonderful to feel mischievious and sneeky. Thanks to Hermes and thanks to MSU for the great adventure. it is true that all that is past possesses all the future!chloe Bjorklundhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822962857753401236.post-76629799357213312022009-02-16T13:32:00.000-08:002009-02-16T13:36:29.718-08:00class 2/13/09When we talked about keeping a journal and loosing those memories once they are on paper, i began thinking of my own journal keeping. I was in Mongolia this summer and kept a journal of all the days we were there, about a month. And when i think back to it all i still have all my memories they are just made clearer as the specific dates and places that things happened durring the trip. I think it is crazy that men played women in plays before they hit puberty and had their voice change. But when i think about it, when i read and saw Rosencranze and Gilderstern are dead it was a young boy that played the beautiful women in one of the traveling plays. That is so weird? I wonder if guys or boys today would do that and be proud? I cannot think of any of my friends growing up that would want to play a girl in any way. I am nervous for the quiz this coming Friday. I am hoping that I read our texts well enough and remember all the details well enough to get a good grade. For anyone that has had one of his classes before, are the quizies and tests hard? is there a best way to study for them?chloe Bjorklundhttp://email@example.com

Section 40 – Disputes about ordinary residence or continuity of care
268.If two or more local authorities fall into dispute about where a person is ordinarily resident, or about a person's continuity of care and support, and cannot resolve the question locally, the local authorities involved may request a determination of ordinary residence to be made by the Secretary of State or a person appointed by the Secretary of State. Details specifying the dispute resolution process will be set out in regulations and statutory guidance. It is intended that the regulations will also set out the procedure local authorities must follow when a dispute occurs when there is a business failure of a provider of care and support who is regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
269.Local authorities may request a review within three months of the original determination being made.

Epilepsy & Seizures Support Group
Epilepsy (often referred to as a seizure disorder) is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. It is commonly controlled with medication, although surgical methods are used as well. Seizures (or convulsions) are temporary abnormal electrophysiologic phenomena of the brain, resulting in abnormal synchronization of electrical neuronal...

Brain Abnormalties?
When we saw my childs dr in the hospital he said the reason my son is having seizures is because he has abnormalties on both sides of his brain. Does anyone know what this means?
This means your son has abnoral brain on both sides like I have,
he cannot get an brain operation most likely only be on medication and VNS stimulator pacemaker the rest of his life to stay live and be stabized means maybe no cure.

has he actually said what the abnormalities are?, not all abnormatities cause seizures

Oh OK I do think it would be a goof idea to ask dr what the abnormalities are , as lots of diff things can cause siezures and to make sure you get the right treatment for your son

My doctor first called my childs EEG results as him having brain abnormalities. What he said it means is that there is spiking going on during the EEG which shows that he had epilepsy. It sounded so awful at first but that is what he said it means. Hang tough. My son had many abnormal EEGs and many increases in medication but for the first time in two years, he had a normal EEG and has been seizure free for 1 year. The down side is that he just had an MRI and it showed his brain has not grown as much as it should have. He believes it is because of the medication but he needs that so what do you do. I had no idea that anti-seizure medication could do that. Its something to be aware of. He has a learning disability which I heard also can be common with epilepsy. Take care

Last night I spent several hours with some really talented writers, at PPW Member's Night at Poor Richard's Bookstore (Tejon, Colorado Springs). Sometimes member's night is a fun social event for all us kooky writer types, and sometimes some real work gets done.
Last night was the latter type.
It occurred to me as I listened to my compatriots, what courage it takes to sit in the middle of a bookstore with folk passing by, and read a work-in-progress out loud for all the world to hear. My projects really are my children, and while I am proud of them and want them to perform in public so all can see how amazing they are, I have also that fear of hearing that the child is ugly, or somehow less deserving of praise than you have heretofore thought.
But the character voices were strong -- from the Republican Vampire to the woman sending her husband off to war, to, well, me (who else stars in my work?) -- and the readers were fearless. And I think, all in all, the comments were productive, helpful, and frankly, inspired me to continue writing when I got home.
Even though it can feel threatening, sharing you work is a sure way to improve it, so that it eventually is ready for its intended audiences.
With whom do you share your work?
The final snippet: No thanks, I've heard wood whistle before (a statement made after being asked to move closer to a fire to hear odd noises coming from the logs, and met with much laughter).
