Peter Makuck - Poetry
Walking through maritime forest,
he tops the ridge dune, beach empty,
ocean blue as the ink of her last letter,
that perfect nun-schooled cursive,
this last aunt, gone with family
stories he should have listened
more closely to. Afternoon shadows
thicken in the white sandy hollows,
sea oats at his back and far out
a sharp line that divides two worlds.
He is thinking of a Polish uncle escaped
from Nazis when, as if sent by a deity,
appears a woman in a blue wetsuit.
She drags a red kayak out through the wash,
hops in, and paddles out
to the eight footers that
tip her over and send her back
boiling in a white seethe to the sand.
At last she finds her feet, staggers
and retrieves the kayak. Again
she launches out and again goes upside-
down in the loud pound of the surf zone.
All this emptiness but for sandpipers
that suddenly rise, as if with one will,
twist and head in a new direction,
then swirl down a hundred yards east.
When he looks back
the red kayak is beyond the breakers
in a field of sun sparks pointed west, slowly
appearing and disappearing far from shore.

The first thing they teach you in column-writing school is to avoid stating the obvious.
As an example, unless it's a really, really, really slow news day, you resist the temptation to bang out pieces suggesting that motherhood is good or that spring inevitably follows winter.
I thought the Singapore caning story fell into that category.
The first paragraph says: Caning is bad.
Second paragraph: There is no second paragraph.
But then I'm listening to talk radio, something else I try to avoid because, if you're not careful, you could be assaulted by Rush Limbaugh, the benighted voice of right-wing politics and the Florida citrus industry. Like many of you, I now eat only California oranges. Yes, a stupid, futile gesture -- but, hey, stupid and futile gestures are the essence of my life.

Zip-line & Elephant Trekking Tour | Description
If you've had enough of soaking up the rays on the beach and you are looking for something a bit more energetic, then Backpackers Thailand may be able to help!
Our exhilarating Eco Nature Action Adventure promises to give you fun, thrills and excitement in abundance; and our flexible itinerary allows you to plan just what activities you want to take part in.
This Freestyle Option allows you to experience the heart-pounding excitement of whizzing through the canopies of the Koh Phangan rainforest; racing along the zipline at a frenetic pace that normally only the resident monkeys would be able to achieve. If this activity doesn't quite fill you with anticipation (or you don't have a head for heights), then don't panic; we have a range of other adventure options, suitable for all requirements!
After experiencing the tree-tops simian-style, we then head to another part of the rainforest, to meet some of Thailand's most loveable inhabitants; the elephants. We have the chance to feed them, before climbing on to their backs and taking a truly wild elephant trek through the jungle. Few experiences can rival the excitement of riding your very own gentle giant and experiencing the jungle from an elephant's point of view and the rainforest offers some excellent opportunities for spotting some of the colourful local wildlife.
You may well be exhausted after this high-energy adventure, but we guarantee, you will also have had the most amazingly enjoyable time!

Knowing the difference between price and value
In a strictly monetary sense, the value of land rises and falls with market conditions. At Treasured Lands we view the value of open land and wildlife habitat differently. We recognize its value as a precious and finite resource that warrants stewardship, management and preservation for future generations to cherish.
Preserving land is a community effort and an endeavor that benefits everyone. It takes a team approach, which is why Treasured Lands works with state and local governmental entities as well as individual landowners. Through conservation easements (link to Conservation Easement subcategory under Get Involved—main menu item), land donations, land entitlements and land acquisitions (link to Land Acquisitions subcategory under Get Involved—main menu item), we broker agreements that benefit all involved yet never lose sight of our foundation's primary promise—permanent preservation.
Vision undergirds the conservationist's commitment and our eye is ever on the horizon. Treasured Lands leads educational tours (link to Programs subcategory under What We Do—main menu item), for all ages, sponsors programs and camp scholarships for kids, (link to Robert F. Denison Endowment subcategory under What We Do—main menu item), holds informative sessions on the environment to cultivate a love of the land and encourage the desire to serve as its vanguard.

Hero Images And Why Websites Need Them
What's a Hero Image?
If you have noticed the most obvious trend for web design since 2015 until today is the used of large image on top of the website. Sometimes the image will cover the whole screen or ¾ of the screen but the usage of the large image is definitely one of the most popular trend you can see in the website layouts. This large image is often called 'Hero Image' . I guess it is called Hero because it depicts the main subject of the website you're visiting.
A hero image is defined as a large, featured image or series of images prominently displayed on the homepage. It is also a credible photo or video of a solution that demonstrate the relevance, context, value, and emotion to support, educate, or persuade a customer. Basically, it's a large photo of a solution that complements your value proposition to provide clarity and context to your visitors. It's a photo with a purpose.
Why do you use Hero Image
A study has found out that it takes only 0.05 seconds for your visitors to form an opinion about your website. That's all the time it takes someone to decide whether they find out more about your website or immediately leave.
By using Hero image as the first thing your visitor arrive at your website, you are providing a good first impression to your website visitors. It also provide clear, easy to read and understandable message that you are trying to convey to your website visitors.
How do you use Hero Images
According to Angie Schottmuller who created a 7 step framework for creating hero shots, when creating Hero Images, the following factors should be considered:
- Keyword Relevance (does the image complement the targeted keywords?)
- Purpose Clarity (does the image help clarify the message of the site?)
- Design Support (does the image support and enhance seamless flow of page design leading to the CTA?)
- Authenticity (does the image represent your brand in a credible way?)
- Added Value (does the image add value? Improve relevance? Demonstrate benefits?)
- Desired Emotion (does the image portray desired emotions that trigger action?)
- Customer "Hero" (does the featured image depict the customer as the "hero" once equipped with this solution?)
Using the above mentioned factors, let us look at how some of the major websites in the world are using them.
1.0 The White House
We can see here the website uses the an authentic image to represent the brand, ie the image of the current President Barrack Obama. It also has a clear Call To Action button hear President Barrack Obama's speech.
2.0 AirBnb
As we all know, AirBnb has revolutionise the accommodation industry by providing an alternative means of accommodations to worldwide travellers. The image and the tagline 'Live There' they are using has actually triggered the right emotions for their site visitors. With the emotions triggered, immediately below the image is the call to actions for visitors to start the search for their accomodations.
3.0 Paypal
Paypal is the biggest online merchant payment in the world. The image they are using is authentic and reflects the emotions of a buyer who has just received an order of something she has purchased online. The tagline basically says thet we can now have a ' new money ' to shop at over 10 million online stores worldwide. Immediately after the tagline is the Call To Action asking the visitors to sign up.
4.0 Bata
Bata is one of the most popular shoe brands in the world. Their tagline is 'We Love Shoes'. Basically, it is telling that everyone loves shoes. The have chosen a beautiful women wearing a presumably Bata shoes that matches the colour of her handbag. Again invoking emotions, in this case beauty and also elegance, for someone using Bata shoes.
5.0 Walt Disney
A well known brand worldwide for everyone. It does not use any tagline except its own name but the image they choosed is an authentic image as well as a well known brand image of Walt Disney.
6.0 Linkedin
The largest professional social network in the world. They are using headshot images of people from various countries and they all looked professional, to show relevance to their website. They have 3 types of Call To Actions, where the most prominent one would ask the visitors to immediately register as user. They also have Call to Actions for visitors to start looking for any professionals worldwide and also login for existing users. Excellent used of authentic professional head shot images and Call To Actions.
7.0 Uber
Another multi billion dollar company using Hero Image for their website. The tag line says ' Get There , Your day belongs to you' will get to where you want to be and save you a lot of time. The image they've used shows an friendly relationship between an Uber driver and its passengers. Again, invoking emotions. Uber also picked a senior citizen image to show that a senior citizen can also be a Uber driver. They also used a Call To Actions which is signing up to ride with Uber.
8.0 Sylvestor Stallone
The ever famous Rocky. His website is showing the great image of himself, who is the Hero . An excellent choice of Hero image used.
Is your website using a Hero Image yet? If not, you can using the 7 factors above in choosing the right Hero Image.

If clothing designer Liz Claiborne could tell women one thing, if she could offer one word of advice on life and style, it probably would be ``courage.``
Claiborne thinks women should be brave when it comes to clothes. She wants the American woman to ``feel good about yourself. Have some guts and some self- assurance.
``You can wear it and you can do it.``
There is absolutely no nonsense, no nonsense at all to Liz Claiborne.
From the tiptoes of her plain white tennis shoes to the top of her chicly shorn head, she reeks of practicality.
She doesn`t have time to be anything else. Claiborne is, after all, the 57- year-old head of a multimillion-dollar a year fashion corporation. During a rare public appearance last week at Burdines Dadeland, she took time out from autograph signing for just three interviews, declining any TV appearances at all.
Wearing comfortable white sweats, a white cardigan with yellow, red and blue triangle logo, minimal eyeliner, no lipstick and a well-cultivated tan uncovered by foundation, she sat calmly, businesslike, in the store`s upstairs executive offices as the reporters awaited their turn for an audience.
A half-hour each, timed-to-the-minute, with questions submitted beforehand, please. Not an unheard-of practice when dealing with ink-shy celebrities.
But Claiborne takes it one step further. She had requested ``some background information`` on the people who were going to be posing the questions. Interviewing the interviewers, if you will.
Not that she is difficult or snobby or anything like that. She just likes things clean and simple and straightforward, thank you.
And that`s precisely the way she designs her clothes. Clean and simple and straightforward. And, judging from her top-of-the-heap position in the retail fashion world, everyone, customers and retailers alike, approves of her approach. Her success formula: translating the latest trends into looks that average women can enjoy, wear and, perhaps most importantly, afford.

JAK2 V617F Mutational Analysis by Real-Time Quantitative PCR
An activating point mutation in codon 617 of JAK2 V617F has been identified in three different chronic myeloproliferative disorders/neoplasms, including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). This mutation is found in 50-85% of PV patients, 30-40% of ET patients and 30-60% of PMF patients. Detection of this mutation permits assessment of clonality in these common but previously difficult to diagnosis conditions. This assay can also be used to track levels of residual disease following treatment and select patients for JAK2 inhibitor therapy.
Results are reported as JAK2 V617F mutation DETECTED or JAK2 V617F NOT DETECTED. Quantitative results are reported as percentage of JAK2 V617F mutation relative to total JAK2.
This test is performed by real-time quantitative PCR to examine the mutation status of codon 617 in exon 14 of JAK2.
Test Parameters:
This assay will detect the V617F mutation present in exon 14 of JAK2. The sensitivity of the assay is 0.5% of variant sequence in the background of wild-type sequence.
Turnaround Time:
10 days
Sample Requirements:
1-2 mL peripheral blood and/or bone marrow aspirate. Please provide a copy of the corresponding pathology report.
CPT Codes:
Additional charges may apply for tissue extraction.
The CPT codes provided are based on AMA guidelines and are for informational purposes only. CPT coding is the sole responsibility of the billing party. Please direct any questions regarding coding to the payer being billed.

What do you know about Coatesville, Indiana, in southwestern Hendricks County? My answer would be "not much." Until recently, Coatesville to me was simply a wide spot in State Road 75, just north of U.S. 40. You don't even have to slow down from the 55 mph speed limit as you pass by. Blink, and you'll miss it. But in February, I took Jennifer Donovan's suggestion and visited the Cinnamon Girls Bakery & Cafe, meeting a business client there for lunch one day. In the process, I discovered that there's more to Coatesville than what you see when you blow past on Ind. 75. On Saturday, July 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., you'll have an opportunity to see the town for yourself during one of its busier times by attending the inaugural Cruisin' in Coatesville VW Car Show and Street Fair. All donations received during the event go to the Coatesville Downtown Revitalization Project (CDRP). You might find yourself asking, "What is the revitalization about and what is Cruisin' in Coatesville?" I had those very same questions, so I found out for you. As I've mentioned before, I grew up in a small town, so Coatesville is my kind of place -- quiet, picturesque and obviously full of history, which isn't surprising, given that Coatesville's history dates back to around 1850. As it turns out, Coatesville was obliterated by a tornado on March 26, 1948, which happened to be Good Friday that year. The twister killed 14 people in Coatesville and virtually flattened the town. It took years to recover. In fact, Linda Stoddard who serves on the revitalization committee speculates that Coatesville is still trying to recover, even 65 years later. Fast forward to December of 2012, when a fervent effort to revitalize Coatesville was undertaken by Linda and the CDRP at the request of Town Manager Jerry Decker. The CDRP was created, became a not-for-profit organization, and then began a quest to become an Indiana Main Street community and bring Coatesville back to life. They ran very popular bingo games throughout the winter to start generating funds, and now that summer's here, they're ready to launch their first major community activity: Cruisin' in Coatesville. This event is going to be really cool. There will be somewhere around 25 vintage Volkswagen buses and cars on display, live entertainment provided by King James & the Verses, a DJ (hey, the band can't play all day), a comedian serving as the master of ceremonies, games for older kids (such as a three-legged run and water balloon dodgeball) and a Kids Corner for younger kids with all types of fun activities and an arts and crafts booth. Food also will be available including hamburgers, hot dogs, pulled pork, baked beans and potato salad. Got a sweet tooth? There will also be cotton candy, lemon shake-ups and more. And the best part? The only thing you have to pay for at Cruisin' in Coatesville is the food, which Linda says will be priced low. That's right. The rest is free. "We want to provide a quality, fun experience that doesn't require people to dig too deep in their pockets," she said. Count me in! As it turns out, this isn't the only event that the CDRP is planning. There will be a Vandalia Trail Walk in September, and Christmas in Coatesville is coming in December. Keep your eyes glued to this blog to learn more about those events as the time approaches. I'll be out in Coatesville on July 6 checking out some classic cars, listening to great music, devouring some barbecue and watching my kids having a blast for next to nothing -- all of it set in the kind of small town that I love, and being held for the good of the community. Make the easy drive out to Coatesville and join me, won't you? Coatesville's website: click hereCoatesville on Facebook: click here Want to see more of my photos from Coatesville? click here

I've got a lot of pics for you guys this week so lets get to it. Gabe added a Hanya mask to a sleeve he's working on and got a healed pic of a girl head he did awhile back. Cody did a rad wolf head on a client's ribs and shaded a black and grey fox in a half sleeve he's doing. He also tattooed some flowers with text on a walk-in and fixed up some tribal a client started in someone's kitchen. Colin did a black and grey wolf/roses combo on a client's ribs and some peonies on another client's inner arm. Dan got to do a bitchin' traditional cobra/rose and a Helena pin-up. One of Phil's regulars got him to do a two-headed rabbit on her. Between his regular shifts at Iron Tiger and working a couple days at Ragtime Tattoo in STL, Jason got to do a bunch of cool tattoos including a black and grey skull with roses, some traditional cherries and a diabetic alert symbol. Casey did a rose on a client's sternum and some baseball stitching on a customer's inner arm. Felix did some hibiscus flowers as a cover up.

I cannot begin to relay how difficult the last few months have been. Do I live in fear that our nation will be torn apart, that all around me I will see families torn apart, both my own, and the families of those I hold dear? The answer is yes. It seems like since November, the main thought haunting my nightmares and creeping ever so visibly into reality has been the question of immigration.
The question is this: if this country is a country built by immigrants, why are "immigrants" not welcome? This isn't a new question, and it isn't even a very difficult question. But it is the answer to the question which causes me grief. Truly, it is because they are not "Americans". Not that they don't belong in America, but that they don't "share certain values." But here's the truth: modern immigrants are non-white, non-English Speaking, and non-essential. Immigrants represent a threat to the archetypal White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) that make up what "Americans" want the world to believe America is.
America is a land stolen from Native Americans, bought from the French, taken by force from the Mexicans, built by African Slaves, cultivated by Mexicans, connected by Chinese railroad workers, and then "overseen" by Europeans. The history of this country is one of deceit and manipulation. But all of this was okay when there was hope for a better tomorrow. Which is why recently I've been crying more than you would think a US Citizen should be crying.
Ellis Island is a beautiful symbol of hope. For immigrants fleeing persecution and poverty in Europe, the statue of Liberty represented the opportunity for a new life. Lady Liberty represents hope in the American experiment. She represents the country built and maintained by foreigners. It represents a home for the discarded, and place of rest for the destitute, and a love for those not welcome elsewhere. In America, anyone can be anything that they are willing to work to become, or so the hope is. But when those same huddled masses are called, "rapists," "drug dealers," "criminals," when they are refused entrance because of their faith or because they come from a "dangerous" part of the world, does Lady Liberty still stand proud as a symbol of hope for the downtrodden?
No, Lady Liberty weeps. And so do I.
I weep for my grandfather Ramon, who came to this country as a Bracero, a worker who simply sought to make money for his family in Mexico. I weep for my father who followed his father to this land, and wished to make it his home. I weep for my mother, who raised her children in this land, hoping that they would become strong, smart, soft-speaking men of God. I weep for my brother, who has worked his entirely life, facing odds that could (and did) dissuade others from attempting to achieve only a fraction of what he achieved. I weep for my sister, doing everything she can to raise her son. I weep for my Nephew, who knows not why this country despises him, why his father isn't around, why he needs to speak two languages, and why his mother struggles so hard to be only a fraction as proficient as he is. I weep for those whose families might be torn away, whose loved ones have died in pursuit of the dream of a better life, and whose lives are stuck between two cultures, not feeling particularly at home in either, but knowing that they belong to the space in between.
But my tears are not enough. None of this enough. It is not enough to speak of the past, and what it tells us about today. It is not enough to be well-read, and well versed in speaking about these things. It is not enough to write blog posts and Facebook posts and tweets and emails and reflections for emails. These things are all great, but they are not enough.
It is not enough to simply complain.
It is not enough to be a feminist (especially if your feminism is purely white feminism, and/or doesn't hold up to intersectional scrutiny and critique).
It is not enough to march (especially in a march that is epitomizing white feminism and/or doesn't hold up to intersectional scrutiny and critique).
It is not enough to listen, especially if the people you are listening to do not feel that they are being herd.
It is not enough to simply talk about what needs to be done.
My people are judged at first sight.They are judged so harshly, and so unnecessarily. They do so much for a country that cares for them so little. We support agriculture and industry, we uphold morality and family and culture, we devote our lives to building beautiful lives here that don't take from anyone else's garden, but instead fertilize their soil.
But we are met with walls, borders, guns, hostility, and hatred. And that's not even counting the wall that has yet to be built. But we, my people, the brown skinned people in a country which we are told is "not our own, do so much for this country. "They" (the immigrants, the other, the marginalized, the oppressed) do so much.
They build and provide and protect and defend and grow and water and nourish and clean and feed and inspire and uphold America. They sing and act and love and create by, with, and for and secure and appreciate and educate and entertain and establish America. They speak the most tongues, and tell the best tales, and make the best food, and give the best hugs, and love stronger, and deeper, and with no bounds. They give so, so much to this country.
They Make this country what it is: Great. And every day they are making it greater.
So why is there not enough space for them to also be American?
All we want is to be allowed to sit at the table.

In case we needed another reason to get excited for Marvel's upcoming VR title, we now know the identity of a fourth character that will costar in the game: Deadpool.
That's right: everybody's favorite, foul-mouthed antihero will be taking centerstage, along with the Hulk, Captain Marvel, Rocket Raccoon, and several other unannounced characters.
Marvel Powers United VR won't officially release until 2018, but I was able to get an early demo of the game ahead of Comic-Con. I have to say, it was really freaking cool. Seriously. I've done a lot of VR demos and most of the time I'm left somewhere between nauseated and mildly interested.
Marvel Powers United VR was not like that.
As we saw in the trailer released last week, the multiplayer game lets you transform into the superhero of your choice as you battle Marvel villains and complete missions. Even though the demo I played was a more simplified version of what will be released next year, it's difficult to overstate just how cool it is to be transported into the bodies of superheroes.
The game really helps you appreciate the scale of the different characters and their respective strengths.
As Hulk, not only do you literally tower over all of your teammates, you really get a sense of his sheer power and strength. You can use special abilities like the Hulk Smash, Thunder Clap, and Seismic Pound, but you can also snatch rockets out of mid-air and lob them back at your enemies.
As Captain Marvel, you charge up photon beams to take out enemies from afar. You can also fly, of course. Rocket, meanwhile, is as crafty as you would expect. He has his two blasters, a scatter rifle and, yes, his jetpack. The Katana-wielding Deadpool heals faster than other characters.
The demo I tried out was just a small taste of what will be released next year there were only a few, relatively easy levels to get through and the only villain we battled was Guardians' Ronan but it was more than enough to get me excited for the real thing.

They started out playing stuff that was fairly rough around the edges. It's not that the players were unfocused or naïve, but that they made a point not to do something which had already been done-- chiefly, to turn out ready-made product with the glossy veneer that had hooked the pro-pop junkies only ten years their senior. They played their boisterous clamor for a few years, and moved on.
Next up was a more sophisticated brand of noise, though no less communicative for the change. First, they dropped the youthful bravado in favor of hip wisdom beyond their years. It's as if some weird muse had informed them that aiming for the intellect and modern mind could be cool, and unprecedented for bands like them. Their friends followed their lead, and before you knew it, the arena that had once introduced them was now subject to their whims, at the service of their transitions.
Of course, this didn't last long, either. Pretty soon, they were into all manner of trial media-- be it musical, cultural, or chemical-- and all of it managed to alter the music they played. In fact, some would argue that these people met a crossroads during this time, as their public perception would forever be altered, due not only to their newly acquired avant-garde curiosity, but also to their completely comfortable way of passing through uncharted waters. The only way out of this labyrinth was to step out of the game entirely, which, following suit and their like-minded brethren, they did.
The next phase was to attempt to recapture some of the green enthusiasm of their first days, albeit filtered through the inevitable change in their makeup from all the days of sophisticated, odd evolution. Their music from this time was arguably the best they ever made, in spite of the fact that the actual players were probably growing a bit tired of the journey with one another, and that it would seem humans can only take so much change in so little a time. But, for better or for worse, their friends went through the same things, and the trend was to always be at the forefront of the trip, so they persevered.
In fact, the players were on the verge of implosion. They had reached a point where change no longer seemed relevant, and they decided to part ways rather than collectively grope for the next square. And that was it.
This is the story of evolution and trends. Most people think of evolution (beyond the religious implication of the term) as an inevitable phenomenon, like ice melting and then turning to gas vapor. But when the concept of a trend comes up, particularly in art, it's viewed as a negative thing. "They're just following the trend," or, "This will never last, it's just a trend." Well, sure, that's life, right?
And then there's the above story. I read it, and thought "The Beatles." Of course, it also applies to Can, Led Zeppelin, the Who, even Abba. And if you take out the part about breaking up, it seems oddly close to the story of U2, R.E.M., Boredoms-- and let's stop here. All this allegory gets a little weighty after a bit.
With Boredoms, you can actually see the evolution and trend from album to album. Most bands are like this. But within the scene from which Boredoms are extrapolated, you can see this stuff spread throughout. Rovo (unjustly pegged as a Boredoms side project, when in fact they are more the project of non-Bore violinist Katsui Yuji) have been around since 1998, and have generally played a kind of heavy-trance post-rock, like Tortoise with energy replacing atmosphere. Funny, though, if you took the exact same band members, and had them release a record in, say, 1991, it would almost certainly not sound like that.
Back then, Yuji was just starting out with Bondage Fruit playing avant-prog; guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto was making serious racket with the early, noisy Boredoms; drummer Yoshigaki Yasuhiro was playing free-jazz and industrial noise with very early Ground Zero; bassist Jin Harada was playing avant punk-prog with Bazooka Joe. It was a noisy time. Five years ago, the same players would have been playing something a tad more sophisticated, though always keeping an eye to improvisation and experimentation. And today, they play beat-laden improv-trance. They aren't alone, because in Tokyo, Montreal and Chicago (and other places, too), this is the trend. And if you think of trends and evolution as symbiotic occurrences, then bands like Rovo not only make sense; they sound absolutely wonderful.
Sai is Rovo's fourth release, though their only record to be released in America was 1999's Imago. For fans of the previous record, the sound remains essentially the same, with lengthy, repetitive jams featuring intricate percussion (courtesy of Yasuhiro and Okabe Yoichi's dual drum attack), profuse electronic manipulation (from Nakanishi Koji and co-producer Masuko Tatsuki), all colored by nylon and other strings (Yuji, Yamamoto and Harada). This record isn't quite as influenced by IDM as Imago was, and transfers much of the percussive drive to more straightforwardly rock rhythm tracks.
The album begins with a track in Japanese, whose title I believe translates as "Aurora Borealis." It begins with light, water-bounce synth effects, and gradually introduces the cymbals and hi-hat (major players on this album), rolling and swishing away. This gives way to an actual beat, though it's closer to hard bop than gloomy post-rock. Throughout, Yuji's violin wails in the distance, like a disembodied vocal (or more likely, an Eno-esque ambient cry). But as underground Japanese musicians are wont to do, they play furiously where Western post-rockers would slide in unnoticed. This is where the trend gives way to inherent, indigenous qualities. There seems to be something restless in the air there, and despite all evidence of trance and hypnotic calm in the new style, they still play like free spirits.
"Vida" is the next track, leading off with an expository hi-hat duet (one drummer on the left side, the other on the right). There's a sine-wave mediator to keep things colorful. This slight diversion lasts better than three minutes (all four of the tracks here are over ten minutes long) before the band kicks in with a relatively straight, if rapid Krautrock groove-- drummers fighting in synch all the while. Again, Yuji's violin colors the track, paired with various synth noises and textures, and Yamamoto's restrained strumming figures.
"Rano" begins with a bouncy keyboard figure similar to the first track, though this time accompanied by what sounds like a constant stream of water, spraying at its fancy in the background. There are few radar blips before the rest of the players come in with Sai's calmest tune. An ostinato synth line, with equal parts wah-wah and analog pad resonance, fires away and the song crescendos to a double time trance-rock jam. The best part of this album is that you could listen to it while tripping, letting it serve as support system for various epiphanies, or you could peer in to the detail, and be treated to incredible musicianship and a more compact sound than seven people would be expected to make.
The last tune is "Seer," which again features the hi-hat duet, though here it's ridiculously precise where the earlier one was exploratory. Drummers should get a kick out of this album, if no one else, though this stuff should work as well for laypeople-- and don't worry, there is a little guitar to fluff it up a bit! Of course, Yamamoto seems to be playing with a velvet touch these days, a far cry from his Stooges-cum-Melvins skronk of the early part of the last decade. I won't fault him for calming down any more than I fault Tortoise for not playing grunge. First of all, it's not appropriate: this isn't 1991 anymore, and music, people and trends change. Secondly, it isn't fair: why would I expect any musicians to exist in the narrow reality for which I have created for them? Thirdly, it's simply not smart: Rovo plays Rovo's music, not Boredoms', not Tortoise's, and no one else's. Whatever the evolution of their scene, this is what they're doing now, and I think it sounds great.

Performance I AM A 'Φ' June 27th 18:00
Onomatopee Project Space & Office
Hallenweg 1C
5615PP Eindhoven
31.5.2015 – 4.7.2015
Opening and book presentation May 30th 18:00
A glass mirror cup is placed on an empty surface; she carefully lifts it until she sees her faces' reflection on the bottom of the cup. A moment of consideration, a moment of break. Suddenly she lifts the mirror cup to her lips and takes a sip of water from the glass. Drinking the image of herself, the object and the subject of this simple act becomes one, an infinite loop, like the one of the moebius bands' surface begins.
Maria Lalou's performative exhibition a spect departs from the presence of a peculiar reflective object, a seminar performance and it's script. What is a stage without performers and how a work can be activated in the absence of 'actors'? Who are the actors anyway? a spect is a quest into the theatre of consciousness where visitors become viewers of sights and where memory suggests future experience.
The presented book [theatro] is a rhythmical reading experience, a 5,5 meters long transcript of a seminar performance, reflecting it's original pulse and duration. With introduction by Alena Alexandrova.
The staged event I AM A 'Φ' on the 27th of June is a performance that attempts to trigger imagination of a particular existential state via constant tension and recurrence. The two characters of [theatro], A and B, are performed by a single person (language: English and Greek). Performed by Tania Theodorou and Maria Lalou.
Host and advisor: Kris Dittel
Project Assistent: Lidia Vajda
Production Assistance: André Avelãs
Made possible thanks to the generous support of the municipality of Eindhoven and the Mondriaan Fonds.
[theatro] is a rhythmical reading experience, a 5,5 meters long transcript of a seminar performance, reflecting it's original pulse and duration. [theatro] expands on the notion of 'view' ('thea' in Greek, where the word 'theatre' comes from). The word 'view' is also the root of the word 'theory' [coming from the junction of the words 'thea'(=view) and 'oro'( =to perceive)]. Aiming towards theory as practice, [theatro] is a new work of Lalou in the form of a book written in two languages Greek and English.

'Three Act, Two Dancers, One Radio Host,' Feb. 7 at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa. Tickets start
at $35. 707.546.3600.
Live storytelling backed by interpretive dancers might sound like bad performance art, but Ira Glass insists it's a winning combination.
"It's something nobody wanted to combine but us," says Glass, host of NPR's This American Life and co-creator of the traveling spoken-word-meets-dance show.
"I know it sounds awful, but it's not pretentious at all."
The touring show, "Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host," comes to the Well Fargo Center for the Arts on Feb. 7. In it, Glass tells stories from his radio show while the dancers add an element of movement you'll never get from the radio. The dancers are from New York's Monica Bill Barnes & Co.
Glass saw the company once and said they were doing just what he does on his radio show, but without words—telling stories about human moments and having fun. After the show he approached Barnes about collaborating, and she immediately said yes. She had been looking for ways to expose dance to a wider audience.
"I approached her at exactly the right moment," Glass says.
In May 2012, the two collaborated on three short dances, which were part of a This American Life variety show that played movie theaters nationwide. It was such a hit they decided to do a full show together. Some are performed together onstage by Glass, Barnes and dancer Anna Bass; others feature just the dancers or just Glass.
Glass says the hardest part was figuring out which stories to do. The natural choice was those that had movement in them, like, say, a story about an airport shuttle bus driver who goes and around and around. But that didn't quite work, says Glass.
In the end, it's personal stories and ones about being a dancer that worked best, he said.
While he used to create a new show every week for This American Life, he's performed the storytelling-dance show about 30 times now. (He does it on weekends to allow him to continue doing the radio show). Bringing energy and humor to the same material for each night's performance is new territory for him. But with his dance partners, they've developed a well-honed night of entertainment, Glass says.
"Everywhere we go, it kills."

Eloy - Visionary (2009) (Enhanced Edition)
Rock | 1cd | EAC Rip | Flac + Cue + Log | covers
Artist Station ASR 044 | rel: 2009 | 620Mb
11 years after the previous Ocean 2, Eloy returned once more with this album. While Ocean 2 obviously was a celebration of the band's 1977 album Ocean, Visionary instead harks back to 1982's excellent Time To Turn album. Like on Time To Turn, which is my favourite Eloy album, we find here a set of symphonic and spacey songs with strong melodies.
The presence of acoustic guitars and also renaissance flute on a couple of tracks brings a slight but very appealing folky touch to the proceedings. I'm reminded of recent Nektar and 90's Pink Floyd but it is still 100% Eloy.
The German accent of vocalist Frank Bornemann, which I often found troubling on the band's 70's albums, has never been as unobtrusive as it is here. He sounds more confident than ever singing in English. His voice is sometimes treated with tasteful effects in the appropriate places and often embellished by female backing vocals it creates a convincing vocal drive. Again like Time To Turn, the sound here is rather keyboard dominated, but there is a well-balanced mix of electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums and percussion and discrete orchestral sounds. The sonic quality of the recording is very high. You can tell that a lot of work went into the production with its high attention to detail.
The Challenge is subtitled Time To Turn, part 2, but it is really a new version of the Time To Turn title track. Both versions are very good. Summernight Symphony is, as its title implies, the most symphonic track of the album. The Secret is divided into two parts with the second part called Mystery. Once again like the Time To Turn album, Visionary closes with an acoustic number. This time with a short one called Thoughts that rounds off the album well. Another positive aspect of Visionary is its moderate length. While many bands today exploit the CD format to its full potential, making albums with running times well over an hour. Eloy wisely avoids overdoing it and Visionary clocks in at just over 40 minutes.
Overall, this makes for a reasonably varied album and there is not one weak moment to speak of. Given the melodic and somewhat laid-back nature of the music and the fact that it is largely vocally driven, this album might not blow all Prog fans away. But the band sounds very confident here and they have produced a very likable and appealing album. It is indeed hard to complain about Visionary. ~Progarchives

Pinot Noir
Typecast as "The Heartbreak Grape," pinot noir is also the most plastic, expressive, and beguiling of classic French varietals. We are being unbiased here. Pinot seduces with heady aromatics that range from perfumed violets to candied berry to spice and earth. At Bruliam, we select vineyards that specifically showcase distinct aromatic and flavor profiles. We source pinot noir from sites so unique and iconic that even a novice alcoholic could distinguish one bottle from the next.
our CURRENT RELEASES
2017 Rose of pinot noir, Sonoma County
Yup, the new label, sexy glass and sweet packaging look great. But we promise this pale pink stunner is as delicious as she is pretty. Lifted aromatics of pink grapefruit, white alpine strawberries, and citrus blossom leap from the glass. The palate presents an irresistible yin/yang of juicy, mouthwatering acidity against a dollop of candied, ripe fruit. Full of energetic verve and bright flavor, this rose will stand tall besides charcuterie, cheese platters, and even pork or salmon. Also plays well with chlorine and sea water. Drink now- at the pool, at the beach, or while hangin' out beside the BBQ.
Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points.
2015 Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
An exuberant burst of raspberry and boysenberry leaps from the glass alongside allspice, mace, and cinnamon stick. This deeply hued beauty features notes of sandalwood with an acid pop to lift the riotous berry. Perfumed with cedar and baking spice, the 2015 Gaps reminds us of a raspberry cordial, loaded with fruit on the palate, extended by a crazy long finish. Drink now through 2024.
Wine Enthusiast – 94 Points. Wine Spectator – 90 Points. Wine Advocate - 90 Points.
2015 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Yup, it's in there – that characteristic fresh sage-loamy-"garrigue" quality that shouts Sangiacomo, Roberts Road. The 2015 vintage features gorgeous forest floor notes enmeshed with black cherry and cedar. Oh, this is a pensive pinot, miraculously shape-shifting in the glass if you're patient enough to savor 750 ml. over a few hedonistic hours. (Wait? Is that cherry pie emerging from my glass?). The problem: this wine is awfully easy to drink.
Wine Enthusiast – 93 Points. Wine Advocate - 91+ Points.
2015 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (Torrey Hill)
Lightly perfumed with nuances of baking spice, ripe strawberries, and even floral notes, this lighter bodied pinot noir will become your go-to vino. Pomegranate and juicy cranberry burst from a palate that channels a touch of earthiness and cinnamon red-hots. The finish is smooth and easy, with a food-friendly acid zing.
Wine Advocate – 91 Points. Wine Enthusiast - 91 Points.
2014 Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands
Bursting with blackberries, our 2014 Soberanes is more jubilant than brooding. With layers of cola, sarsaparilla, cigar box, and cedar, this wine is nuanced and deep. Berries, mocha, and dried herbs lift the palate. She reveals complexity in the glass and smoothness on the finish. Drink now through 2024.
Wine Spectator – 91 Points. Wine Advocate – 91 Points. Wine Enthusiast – 93 Points.
The Dry Creek Valley is zin country. And we are tickled deep purple to source from our own Rockpile parcel known as "the Swale" block. This zin is not pink. This zin is not "hot" or "jammy," which are undeniably great assets to a heavy metal cover band. Bruliam's Rockpile Zinfandel is a revelation (cue gospel "Amen," sister). I'm not kidding. You've got to try this stuff. Even my mom says so.
Our Current Release
2015 Rocky Ridge Vineyard Zinfandel, Rockpile
A focused core of Santa Rosa plum is wrapped up in anise seed, clove, and pie spice. Hints of mocha underlie brambly fruit and that trademark, Rockpile minerality. The tannins are plush, rich and velvety. With a delicious, dark fruit palate and exotic spice notes, you'll love the 2015 zin alongside anything braised or grilled. Drink now through 2024.

The Senate Finance Committee proposed a new tax bill that seeks to prevent the alternative minimum tax from spreading to more taxpayers next tax season.
The bill, sponsored by committee Chairman Max Baucus (right), D-Mont., and ranking member Chuck Grassley (left), R-Iowa, increases the AMT exemption amount to $46,200 for individuals and $69,950 for joint filers. It allows the use of personal credits to keep taxpayers who don't currently pay the AMT from being snared by the tax.
In addition, the bill contains provisions for renewing alternative energy tax incentives and providing college tuition tax deductions and R&D credits. It extends credits for renewable electricity and refined coal production, and adds $400 million to the Clean Renewable Energy Bonds program. Other extensions involve tax credits for solar energy property, qualified fuel cell property, and energy-efficient appliances, commercial buildings and residences.
The bill also extends the itemized deduction for state and local general sales taxes, qualified tuition deduction, teacher educational expense deduction, and the ability to make tax-free contributions from an IRA plan to a qualified charitable organization. In addition, the bill contains a variety of provisions for the military, businesses such as racetracks and mines, and the IRS.

Focus on Youth at SportAccord Convention 2014 Conference
A groundbreaking conference session focusing on the tastes and sporting aspirations of young people, the Youth Club, will be a highlight of the SportAccord Convention 2014 conference during this year's event from 6-11 April 2014 in Belek/Antalya, Turkey. For the first time, the Convention will feature a conference panel composed of young people from sport and media, who will explain and debate what they like – and don't like – about sport in a free-spirited atmosphere.
Effervescent sport and technology guru Professor Andy Miah, who heads the Creative Futures Institute at the University of the West of Scotland, has advised on the content of the session and will moderate a highly interactive encounter that is sure to generate plenty of buzz at the Susesi Convention Centre.
"With the average age of television viewers of the Olympics reaching 50, and similar trends in other established sports events, having a better understanding of the younger generation is a matter of survival," Professor Miah said. "Sports in the future will be watched on the move using wearable devices, we will play sports in virtual worlds, and they may even involve contests between human cyborgs. So much is about to change and we really need to figure out what to protect, so that sports continue to be important in the 21st and 22nd Centuries."
"The Youth Club will be about what young people really want from sport, what sports they are participating in and watching, how they're consuming them and what inspires them to switch on a sport or skip it. It's going to be frank, informative and fun."
Among the panelists will be Youth Olympics silver-medal athlete Alessia Trost, Olympic swimmer Katinka Hosszú and Paralympic athlete and former Bath Rugby player Megan Harris, plus a representative from the IOC Young Reporters programme, amongst others.

Christy marks has got to be one of the sexiest models, to be in score
Full Scene Downloads
Booty Call #1 Watch this scene »
Christy Marks has to be the most unbridled, horniest, homegrown, natural sex star of them all in SCORELAND. Think about it. Of all of the girls with natural big tits, who's come close to the heat in Christy's seat? Definitely not Karina Hart, Anna Song or Merilyn Sakova, as great as they are as big-bust superstars. Of the top 20 Best of the Decade girls, only Brandy Talore and Cassandra could be considered challengers. Going back further in time on SCORELAND, Linsey Dawn and Chloe only did two XXX scenes each. Again, they're magnificent all-stars but on the playing field of wanton cock worship, Christy has them beat. An adult video critic named Roger T. Pipe, a guy who has met and interviewed hundreds of adult film stars and reviewed thousands of videos, wrote when he first saw Christy in action, "If you like girls with fresh faces and super big tits, then be prepared to fall in love with Christy Marks." One of the greatest things about Christy's personality is that she's never played… Read More »

Showering Bra-busters
Big, dripping-wet boobs! The name of this game is "Showering Bra-Busters" and the players are two of SCORELAND's all-time greats Karina Hart and Christy Marks with German super-mega-titter Beshine in a wet tee, wet tits finale. One of life's great mysteries is why girls take so long in the shower. We don't care why and encourage them to continue taking their time.

Easy Rider
Award-winning Christy Marks starts out to clean that bike but she gets wetter when she turns her attention to her curvy chassis in this upgraded-to-HD video. Christy forsakes easy riding to soap up her twin torpedoes instead. "I try to keep a positive outlook on things," Christy Marks told SCORE's editor Dave in one of their many interviews. "I'm the kind of person who tries to look at the whole picture instead of just the top-left corner. It helps me out a lot. I mean, I get mad over a lot of things, but I get over it. And, of course, there's my vibrator. I'll just take it out, lay down on my bed, use it for a while, have a good orgasm, and before I know it, I've forgotten what I was mad about."

Christy's Sexercises
Christy Marks loves being active and she loves to share all of her workout tips. That's why she got excited when she saw this dude working out in the backyard. Christy wanted to give him some workout tips. Or maybe it was that she wanted to work out his cock? No man can stay clothed and flaccid around Christy. It's impossible. Christy believes that what goes up is her fault. When guys tent their shorts in her presence, it's the law of physics at work. No healthy man who digs big boobs and a pretty face can will his junk to stay down when Christy is a few feet from him unless he was the willpower of a Himalayan monk. And this guy? Him a will be layan' Christy at poolside very quickly.

Big Boob Paradise: Christy Marks Part 2
Christy Marks was the youngest of the Big Boob Paradise group at 18, and 18-year-olds tend to be very horny. She's also the one most likely to lay back and spread her legs just for the sake of spreading her legs. And the one most likely to mash her big tits in your face. Like Angela White, she loves men and women...sexually and personally. Christy's one of those girls with whom it's hard to tell if she wants to fuck you or just talk to you. Or maybe she wants to do both. The worst thing about Eleuthera for Christy was that there's no McDonald's on the island. The girl usually eats McDonald's four times a day. The second-worst thing about Eleuthera for Christy was that the Internet connection was so slow. This girl is really into computers. The best thing about Eleuthera for Christy? Everything else. Being in The Bahamas for the first time. Being around so many people that she quickly grew very attached to. Becoming friends, if only for a short time, with Lorna, Gianna, Terry and Angela. Christy called everyone Mr. or Ms. John Fox, the chief of The SCORE Group, was Mr. John, his wife was Miss Sue and Dave Rosenbaum, editor of SCORE magazine, was Mr. Dave. She's polite and well-mannered, and treats people with courtesy.

Big Boob Paradise: Christy's Interview
It's always a pleasure to listen to what SCORE Girls have to say. The staff has always brought a human approach to the presentation of the pictorials and videos and tries to get to know them as real women, not stereotypes. Other adult entertainment companies don't care for this approach and revel in dehumanizing the girls so that they are basically described as "whores" for doing exactly what they are asked to do. It's a form of commercialized slut shaming. Christy Marks had no great aspirations in adult modeling. She enjoyed expressing her heated yet girl-next-door horniness and being catapulted into the spotlight--seen all over the world in centerfolds and DVDs. Guy can relate to her because of this down-home personality. She could be that busty waitress at your local lunch place, a student teacher or that girl who works in a doctor's office. Who was Christy's favorite girl on this trip? "Angela White, hands down," Christy said. "She was really into it. Personality-wise, she was the best. And Gianna Rossi was really good. I'd have to say that my best girl/girl scene was with Gianna. The chick knows what she is doing. She is good at what she does." What did Christy herself like to watch...besides her own scenes? "I love lesbians. I don't know if that's a fetish. I watch a lot of porn at home, but it's all lesbian porn. I don't watch regular porn. Lesbian porn is my favorite. It gets me off. I like girls with big, real tits. Like mine."

Behind The Scenes Screw
From ChristyMarks.com, Christy's "Behind The Scenes Screw." We told Christy she could shoot her own scene if she wanted to. Christy lured one of the stunt-cocks and a TSG cameraman to a section of the studio behind the sets where stuff is stored. (No surprise since Christy can charm a charging lion and talk the birdies out of the trees.) The most astonishing move of all in this video is at 14:40 when Christy is upside-down on a chair and getting his cock pile-driven into her. Very few can pull off this position (especially on a chair!) but very few are like Christy. As Christy once told us about sex on-camera, "If I am attracted to a guy, even just a little bit, that doesn't matter. What matters is if the guy gets into the scene and doesn't act like it's just work. When the guys get into it, I really do cum. It's just like fucking but with a camera in my face. I do the same things I do at home, just more positions. So I really do enjoy it."

Threeway Titfest
Miss Marks is very much a Peeping Christy in this threesome romp, courtesy of ChristyMarks.com. Staying together with Carmen Hayes at the SCORE house, Christy wanders out of the bedroom. She's hungry, so it's refrigerator raid time. Then she spies her roomie getting frisky with Carlos Rios. She was only getting a snack when she saw Carmen on her knees gargling Carlos' dick. That got Christy real horny real fucking fast. Not one to play wallflower, Christy forgets the food and wants in on that action. The couple sees Christy watching them and gets her over to the couch so they can start a three-way orgy of fucking, cock sucking, nipple licking and pussy eating. It's hot, wet and nasty, just the way they love it!

Christy Marks
21:13 Mins.
In agonizing over the model selection for Big Boob Paradise, we had a few goals in mind. First, we were looking for naturally endowed models who would prove equally attractive to both SCORE Men and V-Men. Secondly, we wanted to take this opportunity of shooting offshore in the Bahamas to work with some of our best international models. The newest version of the United States government's 2257 regulations forbids U.S.-based companies to shoot any models that do not have U.S. identifications on U.S. soil. However, it is legal for us to shoot them at an offshore location. We were also considering Merilyn Sakova, Melissa Mandlikova and Anna Song for this trip. However, they could not obtain visas to travel. As for Christy Marks, she is from rural Pennsylvania and we had no such concerns. She's a sensational model, and we wanted to take this opportunity to shoot photos and videos of her against spectacular scenery. What did Christy do with her free time? Christy, and Lorna Morgan, spent a lot of time on the Internet. Christy, in particular, is a real computer geek, and she enjoyed checking out her emails from fans, surfing the web and basically just looking around. The girls and the SCORE staff all lived together in the same house all week. It's a large house, but with five busty babes and a staff of 12 people, things could get very tight at times...and that's a good thing! Dinner always tastes a lot better when the guests come with five pairs of big, natural tits that are barely contained in tight, low-cut tops (the girls weren't wearing much...or anything at all). Meals are a lot more enjoyable when the conversation starts with Christy saying, "Have any of you ever lost something down your cleavage?"

8 Silk Mill Drive
Hawley, Pennsylvania
Full Service Pilates Studio in Hawley, Pennsylvania offering Private, Semi-Private, & Group Instruction by fully Certified Authentic Pilates Instructor.
Mountain Laurel Pilates Studio has a warm, welcoming atmosphere in a lovely, comfortable setting. Judy is passionate about Pilates and dedicated to preserving the integrity of the Classical Pilates method.
At Mountain Laurel Pilates, I offer the highest quality instruction and guidance available, based upon the system of exercises and philosophies originally developed by Joseph H. Pilates. You will receive individual attention from a authentically-trained, fully certified Pilates teacher who understands how to tailor a workout specifically to your body and capabilities, and you will enjoy working in an atmosphere defined by energy and professionalism.
Pilates is a method of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900's that strengthens and tones the entire body. The movements are flowing, precise, energizing, and challenging, and rely on a "mind-body" connection. It's this mind-body connection that makes Pilates effective and defines what Pilates truly is. As Joseph Pilates once wrote, Pilates is "the complete coordination of the mind, body, and spirit"!
The Pilates Method and Pilates equipment will strengthen and tone the entire body, with an emphasis on the core muscles (primarily the abdominals and inner thighs to support the back). It is not uncommon for pilates students to relearn correct posture, realign to proper biomechanics patterns and gain inches in height after only a few months of regular Pilates practice!
Everybody including men and women, athletes, dancers, new mothers, office workers, and let's not forget us baby boomers! It doesn't matter if you are physically active or people recovering from injuries have all experienced the benefits of Pilates at Mountain Laurel Pilates.
"The feelings of pride, accomplishment, and strength that you will enjoy after the class make every moment more than worth it!"
"You feel great, look better and can accomplish so much more in your life."
"Pilates strengthened me physically, emotionally and spiritually"
"Pilates is the one program that has given me the most bang for the buck."

The Talking Head
Reflecting on Classroom Cultures
Over the past few months I've been reading and reflecting about classroom cultures. I remember my own classrooms as a boy, with strict rules, rows of desks, silent students raising hands, teachers front and center delivering their knowledge to us. Perhaps your experiences as a student were similar. I learned well in that environment, and many of you did too. But, many students struggled in those kinds of classrooms, and some failed. "School isn't for everyone," some people would say.
We know a lot more about how the brain works now. Our classrooms and learning environments are much more purposefully focused on optimizing conditions so that all students can learn. So many students—boys in particular—can't sit still for long periods. Girls start strong in school, but need more confidence builders as they grow older. Clear expectations, careful use of language, adult role models (for reading, problem solving, collaborating, etc.), classroom routines that provide a focus on engagement in learning even in busy, noisy spaces, and the interactions between learners and between learners and teachers are all critical conditions in our learning spaces now.
We don't accept the notion any longer that "school isn't for everyone." At ICS we believe that if we're purposeful and flexible, we can create environments, opportunities and structures that support ALL our learners.
ICS teachers think about all these things, and try to make them a reality in their planning and in the spaces they work in. We don't always hit the mark for every child, but when I visit classrooms and watch teachers and students interact, I know that we're getting there.
I know we're making progress when I watch teachers collaborate and challenge their own practices to try to make purposeful, engaged learning happen in every room, for every child.
I love to watch young students running in the morning to their classrooms. I'm supposed to stop them, tell them that running on our walkways can cause an accident. But, I see the joy in their faces as they run to class. I know they're excited about the day ahead, and that they're going to be with caring teachers and TAs, in purposeful learning environments where all students can find success. School can be for everyone, if we want it to be.
Annual Fund Progress
Last year we launched our first Annual Fund campaign for two priority projects. 135 families and individuals contributed, and we built our Robotics lab and Makerspace, and brought in a literacy consultant to work with all elementary teachers and teaching assistants.
Building on that success, we launched our second Annual Fund a few weeks ago. This year our target is $35,000, which will support four priority projects:
- High Tech science equipment for the Middle and High School
- Sensory Center equipment for the Elementary School
- Flexible, portable staging equipment for student performances for all divisions, and
- Two large globes for our libraries.
The Annual Fund is supported by the ICS Board and leadership team as well as ICS teachers, teaching assistants and many parents in the community. So far we have raised $9,882, which is 28% of our target. Our thanks go out to the members of the ICS community who have participated already.
I encourage everyone to support the ICS Annual Fund. You can find donation forms at our main Reception or included with this newsletter. Your participation matters!
