text: The reunion For the 1970s section of the story, Charlotte Rampling and Michael Gambon took on the roles of the older Eva and Romer, with Michelle Dockery playing Eva's daughter, Ruth. 'Michael and I had worked together once before in a film called Paris by Night, written and directed by David Hare, more than 20 years ago,' Rampling remembers. 'It had been a long while since I'd seen him, and when we got together to film these climactic scenes, I said, "You do remember that you shot me the last time I saw you?" There was a great symmetry to it as, in this scene, I am about to try and shoot him.' For Rampling, the main task was to channel the spirit of Atwell's younger Eva. 'It wasn't hard,' she says. 'Hayley and I have worked together several times before and there's a spirit within her that I really recognise in myself. She's fearless. She goes for things. Plus, she knows me, she's watched me. And vice-versa.' Photo: Cathal MacIlwaine/Endor Productions

Ron Harris Biography
Ron Harris is one of those guys that all casinos are weary of, but know that they need. The technology that is available in all casinos is overwhelming to a normal person, but is heaven on earth to a tech savvy guy like Ron Harris.
It would be a dream for any techy to be able to be the one who's responsible for some of the most high tech machines on the market and they would never dream of doing what Ron Harris did. However, Ron, like so many before him and many after him, will try to prove that they are smarter than the machine.
He wanted to prove to himself that he could outsmart the machine and the casinos while also making loads of money doing it. His scheme worked and made him a great deal of money; however, anytime you have to let others in on a plan there's a chance that everything will come crashing down. This was a lesson Ron had to learn the hard way.
Slot machines were invented in the late 1800's and ever since then it's been a challenge for people to figure out how to cheat the games. The games were made to give players a slim chance at winning and to guarantee the owner a nice profit. Although there have been many people throughout history who have mastered the art of cheating the casinos, Ron Harris was one who used all of his resources to make the job as easy as possible.
Ronald Dale Harris was born July 3, 1956, and there is little known about Ron's early days, but once employed by Nevada Gaming Control Board he saw an opportunity. He was hired on as a computer programmer and technician. Ron was one of those people who took to computer programming like it was a second skin. He could make a computer program do just about anything and the Nevada Gaming Control Board was going to find out the hard way just how good he really was.
Outsmarting the Machine
Ron worked in the electronic division of the Nevada Gaming Control Board which gave him unprecedented access to the machines he was planning on using to make himself a very rich man. His job was to examine new slot machines and the number counters on the keno machines before they were put out on to the casino floor.
This was when he found that the chips being used in the machines were EPROM. An EPROM, which stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory, is not the type of chip that a slot game should've been made to use. These chips gave Ron all the opportunity he needed.
These chips allowed him to erase them and reprogram them using his own programs. He had developed a program that would enable the machine to payout jackpots based on how the player was playing the game. He set his program up so that if a player followed a certain sequence while playing the game they would be guaranteed to win the big money.
One of his duties for his job was to randomly go into casinos to check that the chips the machines were using were the same ones that had been approved when the game was first put into the casino. Since the chips that Ron was using were the ones that had already been authorized it didn't matter if one of his co-workers were to be assigned a game he had rigged because the chip would still match the game.
This is what made his plan so genius. He was able to leave the original chips in the machine just reprogrammed to follow a different path to jackpot payouts than the makers originally had setup. Since there were only small differences in the programming this scheme was almost completely undetectable for the casino and the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Ron was on his way to winning big at the casino and still being able to keep his well-paying job. But just like every great story the downfall is always something that could've been predicted had Ron not gotten sloppy.
He'd always been careful when sending others in to win the jackpots. He had used his ex-wife and other family members who were willing to help him with his scam. They would go in and play the games for a while then use the correct combinations Ron had given them to win. The jackpots had been small but this kept them from being too obvious and allowed them to continue working the scam under the radar.
Ron had been working with the Gaming Board going on 12 years by the time everything came crashing down. He had also been running his scheme in many casinos in Nevada and had decided to venture out to other states. He decided it was time to go to Atlantic City.
This trip would have been very lucrative for Ron had he been a more detail oriented person and had used someone who if trouble came calling wasn't going to automatically turn on him. That however is exactly how everything came crashing down.
Ron had started working with Keno machines. He wanted to figure out a way to guarantee a win while playing the Keno machines. These machines are one of the machines with the lowest likely payout but they also have the higher jackpots available.
Ron was smart and decided to go to Atlantic City this time to give this game a go. He knew he couldn't be the one who won the game so he enlisted the help of a friend he thought he could trust. This friend was Reid Errol McNeal.
The Fallout
On January 14, 1995 McNeal walked into the Bally's Park Place Casino in Atlantic City. The plan was he would go in and play the Keno machine for a while and then he would go through the steps so the jackpot for the game would be triggered.
McNeal bought $100 dollars' worth of tickets for the keno game and headed over to start playing. The odds for this game were sitting at 230,000 to 1, which anyone can see how bad those are. Regardless McNeal follows the directions that Harris has given him and he becomes that 1 and hits 8 of 8 on one of his tickets.
This jackpot win was one of the biggest that Harris had every achieved and McNeal was definitely the wrong person to send to get it. McNeal had just won a $100,000 jackpot and gave no reaction at all. This made him suspicious to the casino immediately. Anyone whether they cheat to win or actually get lucky enough to win that kind of money should be ecstatic, but not McNeal.
The complete lack of emotion wasn't the only mistake that Harris and McNeal made that night. According to the New Jersey law any jackpot that's above $35,000 must be verified by the state gaming division. The thing that tipped off the gaming commission that this win was probably achieved fraudulently was that McNeal had no identification at all on him when he went to claim his winnings.
So when the officials from the gaming commission arrived they brought along two state patrol officers along with them. The officers took McNeal up to his room at the casino and when they arrived in the room they meet Ron Harris. Although at first they don't think anything of it they will later. They find out he was the mastermind behind it all.
When the troopers enter the room with McNeal they decide to leave Ron there and take McNeal back downstairs to finish asking him questions. They didn't know that they had just left the very man who had done all the work to get here slip through their fingers.
After they had talked to McNeal downstairs the troopers returned to the room to talk with Ron but he was gone. They took this opportunity to search the room and what they found help put the case together and stop a highly sophisticated thief.
When they searched the room that Ron was sharing with McNeal the troopers found computer equipment, computer chips, books laying out the changes made to the machines at Bally's, directions to use when trying to scam the game, and Ron's own handwritten notes.
The police came to the realization that they needed to find Ron because he was the one who had put it all together. McNeal was arrested that night in Atlantic City but Ron had gotten the jump on them or at least he thought he had.
Instead of having a safe place to hide out in case something like this ever happened, Ron just went home to Nevada. The Nevada state troopers were waiting on him when he got off the plane and he was taken in to custody.
Upon his capture Ron had retooled over 30 machines in various casinos and had been making thousands of dollars over the two years he had been stealing. Like many other criminals Ron let greed get the best of him and like many others before him greed brought him down.
Ron Harris's Legacy
Ron will be forever be known as one of the most illustrious casino thief's in history. Using his intelligence to defraud multiple casinos of thousands of dollars in a relatively short amount of time is not something just anyone can do.
Ron was a smart man in many ways but his smarts didn't provide all the necessary skills that are needed for someone to pull off such a scheme alone. He could've profited a great deal for using his skills for good with the casinos instead of trying to use his skills to take away.
His plan was brilliant; reprogram the machines to pay out only when a predefined sequence was followed. This allowed him to decide when it was time for the player to win. If he had continued on his original path of winning small he probably could've continued on for a much longer time.
However, like in most stories like this greed won out and that big money was just too tempting. Not only making the mistake in going for the huge win; he made an error in judgement when enlisting the help of Reid McNeal. Mr. McNeal was not prepared to go into a casino and win big or maybe he made all of the mistakes that brought them both down on purpose. No one will ever know.
Upon his arrest for the botched job in New Jersey Ron was fired from the Nevada Gaming Control Board. This led to an investigation of his work while with the gaming board and he was also charged along with his ex-wife and two friends for all the other times as well.
Ron could've done so many things differently when it came to his scheme. He could've continued to only go for small jackpots which would have allowed him to stay under the radar and when this didn't satisfy him he should've done his homework a little better.
Had he made sure that McNeal had the required identification on him and maybe even coached him on how to act when he won they might have just gotten away with it. But the one thing that Ron should've realized from the start was that the whole thing would come crashing down eventually and he should've been better prepared.
In the end the guilty always have to pay for their crimes and Ron is no different. In July of 1998 Ron plead guilty to the charges in both Nevada and New Jersey and was sentenced to serve seven years in prison.
He was also placed on the black list in both Nevada and New Jersey. This means he is never allowed to gamble in either state for the rest of his life. If he had just made sure he had all of his bases covered he might not have wound up in this mess.

The weather was very nice, it was sunny and I actually had to take my cardigan off because it got too hot. I love sunny winters.
There are lots of photos, sorry if it loads slowly.
I wore my new Bauhaus shirt.
Kirsty wore her Princess Bride shirt I got her for christmas. It says "inconceivable" with a picture of Vizzini's head.
Here is the front of the museum
Kirsty's looking at the creepy child statues.
Sad and creepy.
This was suppose to show how hard it was to churn butter, but it didn't work.
Kirsty lifting some bricks.
This showed the what work some men used to do back in the day.
Child's gas mask, from the UK
This part was suppose to show an old merchant town. There were a few spooky bodyless mannequins. Kirsty lifted the lid of this chest and got scared when the mannequin started to speak! It was funny because there were some people behind us, who probably thought we were strange girls.
Some pretty necklaces and jewelry.
Try on the chains? Don't mind if I do!
Kirsty trying some grinding.
Here's our friend the Megamouth!!
Best friends forever!
It's a pretty awesome tank, but I wish we could see him better.
We turned the corner to find this car! It was bouncing up and down, which made us laugh lots.
There was a Black Sabbath sticker on the other side, and drugs inside! Along with a fake fur interior.
Australia coathanger.
The docked submarine outside. There is a tour that goes inside, but we didn't have enough time (plus you had to pay more money)
The best part of the museum was a fake submarine room, with a working periscope! It went out the top of the building and it gave a view of Fremantle
Kirsty had squid, I had fish and chips.
We also went to the markets, where I found my friend a birthday present.
Kirsty went to a piercing place to get a smaller bar for her industrial ear piercing. The piercer was really creepy. He kept asking me where I got my piercings from, and commenting about how they were badly done. Then he touched my face without my permission, so see the piercings better!!! It was so strange. I hated that he implied that my piercer was crap. It really pissed me off.
It was a great day overall, it was so nice being able to hang out with my little sister. We didn't run out of things to chat about, and we were very tired by the end of the day.

No, this isn't one of those ads for the latest weight loss program. (But you should consider this the next time you see a set of "before and after" pictures.) No this is just a little wake up call for all of us in regards to our--wait for it--posture!
See, last Friday some folks took advantage of my free postural assessments at the studio. Nothing too painful. I just had them each stand between a grid on the wall and a plumb line in front of them. From there I evaluated the position of certain landmarks on their bodies from toe to head. Things like, do their feet roll in? Do the knees turn out? What about the pelvis? Is it level? Hiked on one side? Rotated? And so on up the body, from the front, back and sides. Then I photographed them from each angle and we blew up the images on the computer so we could talk about what we saw. Lastly I gave them basic cues to tweak their posture and photographed them again.
Pretty amazing, eh?! They now have a better awareness of what their bodies habitually do, and what it feels like to be in a better alignment. And no, they don't just walk out of the studio all pretty-perfect. They'll have to remain aware, do the exercises I suggested, and try being a little bit more ambidextrous.
Gayle and Heather gladly volunteered to have their pictures included in this post. They thought it was so cool they wanted you to see it too! Thanks, you two and everyone else who participated.
If you're interested in learning more about your posture, just shoot me an email kristin [at} Take It Outside Fitness {DOT) com. I'm a fitness geek and would love sharing this knowledge with you!

what I found so amazing is that my poochy belly went away when I stood up straight (she didn't post that picture). But that alone makes me want to stand taller! oh yeah, and all that other good benefit stuff too.
Thank you! and in case you aren't aware- you rock!

Your belly was pulled in, in both after images, but I changed it to the one you are talking about. And you literally do stand taller. Look at where your head comes to on the grid.
You rock too! gracias!

I've had this really big urge to take a trip to Cheshire Oaks recently, so me and the hubby headed off to Chester in search of some bargains and a walk down by the river. I popped in my all time favourite outlet store, The Cosmetics Company and browsed the shelves for something lovely. Just as I was about to leave empty handed I spotted the Bronze Goddess range by Estee Lauder.
I can't count the many times I've sniffed this fragrance in Boots and every time it reminds me of cocktails on a beach somewhere hot (or just in my back garden with this beautiful weather). This is the most gorgeous, summer fragrance that's really coconutty but not too overpowering and it completely transports you to back to your favourite holiday destination.
I initially picked up the EDT but then I spotted the body oil and gave it a go. It's a non-greasy oil that sinks into the skin in seconds but leaves you smelling summery for hours. I ended up buying the oil, not only because it was cheaper but I found the scent stayed on longer than a perfume. It's also really great as a moisturiser and has been perfect for days when I've spent a lot of time in the sun. This 100ml bottle only cost £26, which was £9 off the RRP.
If you're a big fan of fruity, summery scents this one will certainly be a winner.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) into law on March 25, 2015. However, Indiana has since suffered much backlash against the new law. According to Pence the law did not permit discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals. He said that the law was designed to ensure that the "highest level of scrutiny in our state courts in matters of government action that intrude upon the religious liberty of Hoosiers" was taken. Pence added that he would not continue to patronize a business if he knew they had discriminated against LGBT people.
As unintentional as Pence's lack of foresight may have been, social media, businesses and groups have voiced their displeasure with the signing of the RFRA. Large numbers have opted to boycott the state entirely. The Boycott Indiana hashtag has recently trended on Twitter. Gen Con, the biggest gaming convention in the world and Indianapolis's largest convention, is considering not renewing its contract when it expires in 2020. The Disciples of Christ have committed as of March 31 to seek a new venue for their 2017 Gen. assembly which was to be held in Indianapolis. The AFSCME women's conference scheduled for October in Indianapolis will be moved to another state. "As of now we've heard from 6 to 8 conventions who are concerned. They have questions." remarked Chris Gahl of the state's official tourism site, Visit Indy.
Humorist Rick Offerman and indie rock band Wilco have canceled tour dates in Indiana. Twitter user Dylan Donnie-Duke wrote:
@Nick_Offerman as an embarrassed Hoosier, I appreciate it. @GovPenceIN as a guy who got tix to this show as a bday gift, this sux.
In addition to suffering political backlash and loss of tourism dollars, Indiana's new law may cost it a few business partners. The online directory Angie's List announced it would no longer expand it's Indianapolis campus as planned. The cloud computing company Salesforce has also decided to cancel any program which would require any customer or employee to travel to the state where they might face discrimination. The governors of Connecticut, New York, and Washington states have signed orders prohibiting or severely limiting state-funded travel to the Hoosier state. The mayors of Portland and the District of Columbia have also prohibited official travel to there. Many individuals and organizations have declared themselves boycotters as well, registering their dismay on social media platforms, but have not yet cancelled any appearances or events.
IThere is also an anti-RFRA campaign among some of the states businesses. Those that agree to serve all people can get a "this business serves everyone" sticker to put in their windows and can also be listed in an online directory. The cost to participate is $10. The Open for Business campaign was started by Indianapolis resident Josh Driver.
On March 30, Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard (R) held a press conference about his feelings concerning the RFRA. Ballard plans to issue an executive order that any business must follow the city's human rights ordinance, which protects LGBT people. He also called on the state to add protections for sexual orientation into it's civil rights law.
Due to the uproar, Pence is seeking a "fix"or modification that will clarify that the RFRA does not allow discrimination against LGBT people. However, the state's Democrats are calling for a full repeal. Pence wants the new language on his desk this week.
Despite the economic loss the Hoosier state may now face, the Arkansas legislature recently passed a very similar bill. It remains to be seen if Arkansas will suffer as much political blacklash as Indiana.

Pointers for Guessing on the ASVAB
No matter how hard you study for the ASVAB, you'll likely come across a few questions where you don't have a clue. Guess wisely, and you can score extra points on many ASVAB subtests. If you leave a question blank, you have a 0 percent chance of getting it right, but if you guess, you have at least a 25 percent chance. Here are a few quick pointers on guessing:
Eliminate answers that you know are wrong and then guess among the remaining answers. If you eliminate one answer, your chances of getting the question right go up to 33 percent. Eliminate two, and you're up to 50/50. Here are some tips on narrowing down your choices:
Answers that include always or never types of statements are usually wrong.
If two answer options have opposite meanings, one of them is probably correct.
If two answer options are very close in meaning, neither of them is probably correct.
Don't guess based on the frequency of previous answers. Just because the answer to the last ten questions has been (C) doesn't mean the next answer can't be (C), too.
If you can't eliminate any choices, always choose the same letter for your guess. For example, if you have to guess on ten questions, always guess (C). Choosing the same letter every time increases your odds of selecting the right answer for at least one or two of those questions.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010. This was a day I had marked on my calendar for a long time. And not because it was Bastille Day or my brother's 41st birthday, although those are cool. Nope, it's because out of all of the Beer Trips to this point, this was the one I was looking forward to the most. Basically, the other trips all had one or maybe two private tours set up, while this one had five pre-arranged. So when the day finally came, I was up and ready about an hour earlier than I needed to be. Everyone else showed up pretty early as well for the 7:30 AM departure time. Well, except for Ed, but we'll look past that.
We eventually hit the road not far behind schedule and headed west down I-70 towards Hays, Kansas. I-70 in Kansas is great for many things, but none more than the steady stream of billboards telling you about how Jesus is the greatest and abortion is the worst. I wonder how many people have changed their religion or viewpoint on abortion with this effective advertising. My guess is one person, at best. But I digress. Gella's Diner and Liquid Bread Brewing Company is one of the best brewpubs that I have ever been to, so whenever I drive through Hays, I make it a point to stop there. Not only does their brewer Gerald make phenomenal beers (and he really, really does), but the food and atmosphere of Gella's would, as Andy likes to say, fit in any major city in the country like New York City or San Francisco. It truly is a gem of a place. We ordered our food, enjoyed a couple pints of Lb.'s beers, including their IPA which is my favorite, and had a really satisfying first stop on Beer Trip VI. We finished up, and drove west to Colorado.
As is the case for most people, eastern Colorado is one of the most boring places to drive through. It also doesn't help that their highway roads are awful. And like most people, I never can resist the urge to say the now hack joke line from "Dumb and Dumber", "That John Denver's full of shit!" when driving there. Luckily, the boring part of Colorado doesn't last too long before you get to Denver. Our next stop was in Nederland, Colorado, to Wild Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery. Our friend Adam, who works for New Belgium Brewing Company, told us that this was one of his favorite places in the area, so we decided to check it out. Nederland is located about 20 miles of beautiful scenery away from Boulder, and the views alone were worth the trip up there. When we arrived, we were lucky enough to get a table for six on the deck overlooking the mountains. The service there was great, and Mountain Sun's IPA was one of the best I'd ever had. I mean this in the best way possible, but it was an unfiltered IPA (I couldn't see my hand through the glass) that looked like orange juice and even tasted a bit like it. It was awesome. The food at Wild Mountain was great as well, as I think everyone enjoyed whatever barbeque-type plate they did. I had the pulled pork and it was solid. We hung out there a bit, taking in the view, before we headed back to Boulder to check into our hotel before heading out into town.
The next place we visited was Mountain Sun Pub and Brewery in Boulder, another place recommended by Adam and was featured in the latest issue of Beer Advocate magazine. Not that we ever doubted him, but Adam steered us right again with this place. It was really packed, which was a little bit surprising because it was summer when school wasn't in session. I think we were expecting a busy crowd, but this was beyond what we thought. Luckily, Stefan, a bartender there, spotted me and took our beer orders. Again, for the third time on Day One, the beers at the brewpub were outstanding. We had to stand up towards the back of the bar until a table finally opened up, but it was a really cool scene worth waiting for a table. Not too hipster like I had thought it'd be. Just a nice, laid back place, at least as laid back as a really crowded brewpub can be. After a few beers, someone suggested we check out Colorado Brewing Company a few blocks away.
Colorado Brewing was kind of a trip. First of all, I didn't like the idea of paying a cover charge to go in, but it was only $1 and there was a band. I didn't realize there was a band at first, so I was ready to go home and call it a night. This band was a reggae band that, per the lead singer, had no Jamaicans, but she was Hawaiian so it was close enough. They were interesting enough, and after ordering a beer (a decent pale ale) I went to the restroom. Innocently, I thought, but as I returned there was a really drunk 50-something year old guy dancing right by the stage. I stood at the edge of it, and said drunk guy (who was really drunk if I, after a day of solid brewpubs, thought he was) decided to push himself in front of me and proceeded to slam his ass into my crotch. It was around that time that I decided I had enough, which I think the rest of the Beer Trippers felt the same about. We walked back to the EM-50, where I felt it would be a good time to pull a "Teen Wolf" on the still-parked RV. And if you think about it, there really isn't a better way to end Day One of a Beer Trip.

Achieve your dream smile
Whether you want a beautiful new smile, to correct chipped teeth, close gaps between your teeth, or straighten crowded or uneven teeth, porcelain veneers may be the answer for you. Porcelain veneers can correct a number of cosmetic grievances to give you the perfect smile of your dreams for a lifetime.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are one of cosmetic dentistry's more subtle and versatile options for achieving a beautiful smile. Porcelain veneers are made of thin, translucent porcelain that is permanently bonded to the tooth. These thin shell-like restorations can correct alignment, chipped or broken teeth, spaces, length, shape and color of your teeth with minimal preparation of your natural tooth. Porcelain veneers have the ability to reflect tones, shape and texture of a natural tooth providing a new and improved smile.
Because you deserve it
At your Brandon dentist, the office of Dr. Walker & Dr. Raynal DMD, we are firm believers that no one should have to live their life with a smile they aren't happy with. Thankfully, with advances in modern dentistry, you don't have to! Choosing to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry is the first step toward a better life. You may think a smile is a rather trivial thing, but the truth is, your smile has dramatic effects in all areas of your life. Your confidence and self-esteem are really the key players here.
When you are not entirely happy with your smile, chances are you are not entirely with yourself, and you are less likely to put yourself out there in social situations. Your smile can either work for you, or against you. A beautiful, healthy looking smile portrays confidence, happiness, and success. Make sure you are putting your best face forward with cosmetic dentistry. Porcelain veneers could be the missing link between you and your best self!
Porcelain veneers can improve your smile in only two visits with Dr. Walker or Dr. Raynal, and are a great alternative to braces, teeth whitening, and other cosmetic dental procedures. Contact our Brandon, FL dental office today for more information on porcelain veneers and to discover if veneers are right for you. Give us a call at (813) 689-5928.

* Affiliate links.
64.9 ▶ Questioner: The question was brought up recently having to do with possible records left near, in, or under the Great Pyramid at Giza. I have no idea whether this would be of benefit. I will just ask if there is any benefit in investigating in this area?
Ra: I am Ra. We apologize for seeming to be so shy of information. However, any words upon this particular subject create the possibility of infringement upon free will.
53.14 ▶ Questioner: Well, are both those who are taken on Confederation and Orion craft then experiencing a seeming physical examination?
Ra: I am Ra. Your query indicates incorrect thinking. The Orion group uses the physical examination as a means of terrifying the individual and causing it to feel the feelings of an advanced second-density being such as a laboratory animal. The sexual experiences of some are a sub-type of this experience. The intent is to demonstrate the control of the Orion entities over the Terran inhabitant.
The thought-form experiences are subjective and, for the most part, do not occur in this density.
70.11 ▶ Questioner: Would an analogy for this situation be that the individual's higher self is manipulating to some extent, shall I say, the mind/body/spirit complex that is its analog, you might say, to move it through the lower densities for purposes of gaining experience and then finally transferring that experience or amalgamating it, you might say, in mid-sixth density with the higher self?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The Higher Self does not manipulate its past selves. It protects when possible and guides when asked, but the force of free will is paramount. The seeming contradictions of determinism and free will melt when it is accepted that there is such a thing as true simultaneity. The Higher Self is the end result of all the development experienced by the mind/body/spirit complex to that point.
84.8 ▶ Questioner: I'm interested… I can't help but be interested in the fact that he had reported being taken on board craft. Could you tell me something about that?*
Ra: I am Ra. The nature of contact is such that in order for the deep portion of the trunk of the tree of mind affected to be able to accept the contact, some symbology which may rise to the conscious mind is necessary as a framework for the explanation of the fruits of the contact. In such cases the entity's own expectations fashion the tale which shall be most acceptable to that entity, and in the dream state, or a trance state in which visions may be produced, this seeming memory is fed into the higher levels of the so-called subconscious and the lower levels of the conscious. From this point the story may surface as any memory and cause the instrument to function without losing balance or sanity.
67.21 ▶ Questioner: Then we experience in this seeming difficulty the what I would call effect of the wisdom of the first distortion and for that reason must fully accept the wisdom of that which we experience. This is my personal view. Is it congruent with Ra's?
Ra: I am Ra. In our view we would perhaps go further in expressing appreciation of this opportunity. This is an intensive opportunity in that it is quite markèd in its effects, both actual and potential, and as it affects the instrument's distortions towards pain and other difficulties such as the dizziness, it enables the instrument to continuously choose to serve others and to serve the Creator.
Similarly it offers a continual opportunity for each in the group to express support under more distorted or difficult circumstances of the other-self experiencing the brunt, shall we say, of this attack, thus being able to demonstrate the love and light of the Infinite Creator and, furthermore, choosing working by working to continue to serve as messengers for this information which we attempt to offer and to serve the Creator thereby.
Thus the opportunities are quite noticeable as well as the distortions caused by this circumstance.
34.6 ▶ Questioner: Thank you. Can you give me examples of catalytic action to produce learning under each of the following headings from the last session we had… Can you give me an example of the self unmanifested producing learning catalyst?
Ra: I am Ra. We observed your interest in the catalyst of pain. This experience is most common among your entities. The pain may be of the physical complex. More often it is of the mental and emotional complex. In some few cases the pain is spiritual in complex-nature. This creates a potential for learning. The lessons to be learned vary. Almost always these lessons include patience, tolerance, and the ability for the light touch.
Very often the catalyst for emotional pain, whether it be the death of the physical complex of one other-self which is loved or some other seeming loss, will simply result in the opposite, in a bitterness, an impatience, a souring. This is catalyst which has gone awry. In these cases, then, there will be additional catalyst provided to offer the unmanifested self further opportunities for discovering the self as all-sufficient Creator containing all that there is and full of joy.
42.3 ▶ Questioner: I will attempt to make an analogy. If an animal, shall I say a bull in a pen, attacks you because you have wandered into his pen, you get out of his way rapidly but you do not blame him. Or, you do not have much of an emotional response other than the fear response that he might damage you. However, if you encounter another self in his territory and he attacks you, your response may be more of an emotional nature creating physical bodily responses. Am I correct in assuming that when your response to the animal and to the other-self seeing both as the Creator and loving both and understanding their action in attacking you is the action of their free will then you have balanced yourself correctly in this area? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is basically correct. However, the balanced entity will see in the seeming attack of an other-self the causes of this action which are, in most cases, of a more complex nature than the cause of the attack of the second-density bull as was your example. Thus this balanced entity would be open to many more opportunities for service to a third-density other-self.
65.6 ▶ Questioner: Would the coming changes as we progress into fourth density— I'm speaking of changes not only in the physical third-density planet due to the heating effect but also the changes that are heralding fourth-density vibrations such as the ability of people to perform what we term paranormal activities— I'm assuming that both of these are also and will act as catalyst to create a greater seeking. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct. The paranormal events occurring are not designed to increase seeking but are manifestations of those whose vibratory configuration enables these entities to contact the gateway to intelligent infinity. These entities capable of paranormal service may determine to be of such service on a conscious level. This, however, is a function of the entity and its free will and not the paranormal ability.
The correct portion of your statements is the greater opportunity for service due to the many changes which will offer many challenges, difficulties, and seeming distresses within your illusion to many who then will seek to understand, if we may use this misnomer, the reason for the malfunctioning of the physical rhythms of their planet.
Moreover, there exist probability/possibility vortices which spiral towards your bellicose actions. Many of these vortices are not of the nuclear war but of the less annihilatory but more lengthy so-called "conventional" war. This situation, if formed in your illusion, would offer many opportunities for seeking and for service.
93.8 ▶ Questioner: There seems to be no large hint of polarity in this drawing except for the possible coloration of the many cups in the wheel. Part of them are colored black and part of the cup is white. Would this indicate that each experience has within it a possible negative or positive use of that experience that is randomly generated by this seeming wheel of fortune?
Ra: I am Ra. Your supposition is thoughtful. However, it is based upon an addition to the concept complex which is astrological in origin. Therefore, we request that you retain the concept of polarity but release the cups from their strictured form. The element you deal with is not in motion in its original form but is indeed the abiding sun which, from the spirit, shines in protection over all catalyst available from the beginning of complexity to the discerning mind/body/spirit complex.
Indeed you may, rather, find polarity expressed, firstly, by the many opportunities offered in the material illusion which is imaged by the not-white and not-dark square upon which the entity of the image is seated, secondly, upon the position of that seated entity. It does not meet opportunity straight on but glances off to one side or another. In the image you will note a suggestion that the offering of the illusion will often seem to suggest the opportunities lying upon the left-hand path or, as you might refer to it more simply, the service-to-self path. This is a portion of the nature of the Catalyst of the Mind.

Hi Loves! Where on earth did April go?! 🙂 Its time for another blog hop with the wonderful ladies in the Beauty & Fashion Blog Community on Facebook { join the party! }.
For the May hop – our topic was Mother's Day Gift Ideas. Rather than recommend specific items from specific stores, or at various price points, I like to shop with "ideas". Then while I'm out shopping I look something that are along the lines of what I had in mind. I created these sets on Polyvore (follow me?!) and wanted to share my "ideas" for gifts with you.
My mom works in a school – she's a teachers aide, substitute teacher, and speech coach. She's very traditional and has more of a classic style. My quest has been to slowly give her a few trendier items over the years that are a mix of both her classic style with something that I like.
She's not into wearing makeup, or a lot of jewelry, but I think I found some items she'd enjoy.
Idea #1 – Work Tote Bags. (What teacher, aide, or coach doesn't carry a ton of stuff around with them?! Might as well rock a cool bag while you do!)
Gift Idea #2 – Jewelry. A little sparkle never huts! I tried to stick with more classic jewelry styles in rose gold. Plus I LOVE the rose gold trend!
Gift Idea #3 – Perfume. These are a few scents that I think my mom would like. Plus they are on the lighter side, so they can be easily worn during the day. I also love to buy high-end rollerball perfume instead of big bottles because they seem easier to use up (for me anyways) can fit in a purse, travel well, and are a fraction of the price, so if you get something you don't really like – there's not as much to use up!

We're leaving on Tuesday for Florida. I'm feeling kinda sick and panicky. I've told you before I don't like moving, don't like changes. Doesn't help that my allergy meds have failed me. Massive headache - eeeek.
I've been asked how I'm getting it to say Lazy Gal Quilting on my photos. I've explained before how I use Picasa to get my photos ready for blogging. When you choose the Export Picture to Folder option it pops up a thingie and asks what folder to send the new pic to, what size to make it and at the bottom, Picasa3 now has an option to Add a Watermark. Just choose that and what words you want and it will do the rest.
To get my mind of all the things I should be doing right now, here are some links for you:
Lynne at The Patchery Menagerie is making a wonderful alphabet sampler. She's making rapid progress so I don't want to single out a post, but try her January archives. I love reading about her decision making process what to put in, how does it look?, try something else.
Holly posted a fun inspiration for making wordy quilts. Too bad my text messages are all so boring.
Amy a la Mode is posting some wonderful antique family quilts. I love the Double Wedding Ring with orange and the Wagon Wheels baby quilt but there are many more to see.
Jacquie of Tallgrass Prarie Studio is hosting Project Improv to encourage quilters to try exactly that: improvisational quilting. Whee, it's going to be fun to see what everyone comes up with. She also just finished piecing a wonderful top called Bloom.
And last but definitely not least I am so proud and thrilled to see the fabulous Home quilt that Tanya just completed. She started it in my first ever online class and it is just so wonderful.
Ooh, and speaking of finishing quilts, I put the last stitch on my Bed Quilt. woohoo. It's way too big (and too dark in this apartment) to get a good pic of it, but here's one from awhile ago. Eek, look at the date on that post - Bonnie finished her amazing machine quilting job and mailed it to me way back last March and it's taken me this long to get it bound. Bad quilter, bad.
I'm back to the salt mines now - getting prepped for my move. Ya'all take care.

An Open Letter to Performers:
When I produce, I truly don't want to be a helicopter parent.
I don't want to have to put a restriction on how many drinks you can indulge in before a show, because I want to just hire performers who can pace themselves and drink responsibly.
I don't want to have to put a cap on the drink ticket dollar amount, because I want to hire performers that don't take advantage of the venue's hospitality by trying to get a custom craft cocktail with multiple additional shots of a pricey liquor.
I don't want to have to tell you that you need to dress nicely for your set, or that you shouldn't change something large about your act/costume without letting me know, or that you can't bring a ton of friends in for free.
I don't want to have to expressly tell you that your friends can't be backstage with you, because I trust that you know that the backstage area needs to be a safe, secure place for performers who are in a state of extreme vulnerability and nudity. And I expect your support if your friend is having trouble understanding why being backstage is inappropriate.
I want to treat all of my performers, their friends, and the audience members well and with respect, but respect is something that is earned. And if the producer of the show politely tells you to refrain from something, it is not an invitation for discussion, negotiation, derision, or disrespect.
Performers, your actions have repercussions. The decisions you make affect the show as a whole - not just the flow of the night, but the restrictions that may have to be implemented moving forward as a direct result of specific actions. The actions you take directly correlate with the stress level of the individuals running the show, who are doing everything possible to ensure your experience is the best it can be so you can deliver your best work.
Producers really, really prefer to be the Cool Parent and just let you be fabulous without any restrictions or limitations.
A Reluctant Helicopter Producer
PS: Just so there's no guilt by association - Ray Ray Sunshine, who is also featured in the top image by Greg Inda, is an example of a GREAT performer to work with!

China has taken strides in promoting its currency for greater global acceptance.
It has set up five offshore yuan centers, launched Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and widened the trading band of offshore renminbi.
The rise of the Chinese currency in global markets may promote trading of yuan-denominated commodities and increase China's pricing power.
China is the largest importer and consumer of commodities including iron ore, copper ore and bauxite.
Even so, it is unable to set the terms for commodity prices because these are still denominated in dollars.
International commodity trading uses mostly overseas exchanges for benchmarks and transactions are settled in dollars.
Base-metal trading on the London Metal Exchange (LME), for example, accounts for more than 80 percent of global volume, overwhelming the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
LME's approved warehouses have the largest number of locations and are the best indicators of global supply and demand for metals.
Settlement prices on the LME are also used as benchmarks for most physical trading of metals.
Before China can attain pricing power, it will first have to address trading and delivery constraints.
The government restricts metal producers' access to trade on the LME, which has no warehouses in China.
Overseas investors can't trade on the SHFE, which has no inventory storage outside of China.
Even though Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing bought the LME in 2012, full integration has yet to materialize.
The views expressed in this article are those of Yi Zhu, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.

Summer will be here before you know it, and that means flirty sundresses and a lot more skin on display, especially legs. Every year at this time, I start worrying whether my legs are worse than the year before. Are they too pasty? Did a tiny crop of spider veins appear over the winter?
I must confess that I created Invisible Stockings years ago for my own less-than-perfect legs. After months of getting the color and consistency right, I shared my "magic potion" with you. Soon I'll be taking two or three bottles out of stock so I'll be covered this summer because, thankfully, you all will take the rest! I'm so pleased you like it as much as I do!
Now as I face the long hot summer, I'm armed with Invisible Stockings and The Everything Pencil. The combination of the two is a foolproof strategy for covering veins, bruises and anything that makes me feel less than proud of my gams.
(BTW, the pencil is perfect to cover up most of the small veins. Then simply apply your "invisible stocking" over the pencil. Try using The Swirly Brush tool. The application is flawless and feels yummy too!)
Invisible Stockings' summer bronze tint (along with the Everything Pencil for hiding veins and imperfections) is a definite one-up on bronzing and tanning creams for legs. I believe women not only want a touch of color, but love being able to conceal any flaws. And at JA Cosmetics, we're all about gorgeous legs! After all, don't we all dream of having legs like a dancer or Hollywood star?
Here in Las Vegas, we're privy to the secrets of showgirls with those amazing legs that seem to go on forever. Tanning booths? Spray tans? Not for them. Their perfect legs come from flesh-colored fishnet tights. From the stage, they not only simulate flawless skin, but the elasticity in the tights makes their legs and buttocks seem to defy gravity, too! Unfortunately, these specialized tights are extremely binding and uncomfortable. The dancers can't wait to get out of them after a show. We all know that feeling—we've worn pantyhose before! They're the worst.
Besides being uncomfortable, fashionistas have been telling women to "lose the hose" for years. Pantyhose sales have plummeted as a result of changing preferences. We've embraced the trend of bare-legs-and-seductive-heels since the heyday of Sex and the City. Office wear has gotten a lot more relaxed, too. Besides, who ever enjoyed putting on nylons or dealing with the inevitable runs?
The trouble is, we still want those beautiful showgirl legs and that youthful, sun-kissed look. Bronzers and tanning products have gotten better—less orange and streaky– but most don't provide extra coverage to hide the veins and superficial flaws we're not fond of. The combination of The Everything Pencil and Invisible Stockings is truly a dream come true!
Ladies, you are definitely going to have a leg up this summer. Invisible Stockings also offers flattering color when applied to your shoulders, décolletage or upper arms. I'd love it if you'd send us a photo of your lovely legs– maybe even include a "before" shot– and we'll share with others. I know you'll be proud to show off the results! And who knows? If your photo gets lots of comments, you may be the winner of our divine Swirly Brush…Just for showing off!

Picture analysts say they have unearthed compelling evidence that the chancellor of the exchequer might actually be a bit posh, and not a cheeky Eastenders-type character, as was previously assumed to be the case.
George Gideon Oliver Osborne, heir apparent to the Osborne baronetcy, posted an image of himself eating a burger on Twitter, the night before his Spending Review speech.
This received a storm of frenzied acclamation, with 98% of the UK populace believing the picture showed that he's 'Definitely One of Us'.

Pro's and 'con's of Sax Chicago Hotel
Pros: Friendly staff. Great location. Our room overlooked the River. Bathroom is very spacious, modern and clean. Beds are comfortable and warm.

About a year ago I finally took the dive and started using Plex to host and play my videos. This happened about the time I write about how iTunes was a dumpster fire, because, well, sigh. And still is.
The good news is that my Synology NAS supports a Plex server, so I was able to install it there and shove all of my video content onto it. I bought a USB blu-ray (that also reads DVDS) to suck physical content in, and I use MakeMKV to deal with the media, Handbrake to do the data conversions, MV4Gear to strip DRM off of iTunes content to make it usable in Plex. The process can be time consuming but it's pretty straightforward. Some of what I've encoded has been collections of shorts (Warner Brothers Cartoons, for instance) and that can turn into a grind, but once you get it into Plex, it's all pretty straightforward, and I've been quite happy with Plex on the Apple TV and IOS devices. It's much more straightforward to sync a video for offline viewing in Plex than in iTunes, for instance.
But… My setup had one problem, which has been annoying me no end. My Synology is a good unit and I love it for its file storage, but it didn't have enough processing power to handle on the fly transcoding of video for various devices. That means you have to go in and manually optimize copies of videos for the different video uses, which is (a) a pain in the butt, and (b) eats a huge hunk of disk space, since you effectively need to keep a copy of the video for each optimized format.
So of course, what I found after my first round of setting things up was I put the rest of the videos into the "need to be done" pile and left them there. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
I started running into the "is this on Plex or still in iTunes?" problem. I started considering options, hoping without hope Apple would release an updated Mac Mini at a nice price point as my preferred solution (nope). I also started looking at getting another Synology NAS to run Plex, but the cost (about $500-600 with disks) and the general idea of adding a third NAS to the house just left me cold. So I did nothing, but grumped at myself because my setup wasn't, well, perfect.
And so it sat, literally, for months. And then as I was going to bed about a week ago, I had a thought — instead of running a third NAS, what if I replaced my small NAS with one that could do the Plex work? That small NAS is literally there to act as a backup of the bigger NAS. By re-using the drives in the small NAS instead of buying new ones, I could replace the unit for $250 and still keep the backups on it, without adding a third device to the house.
And at that price, worth it to me, so sold. I ordered the Synology DS216Play and it arrived a couple of days later. After pulling apart the old NAS (now on a shelf) and setting it up, I spent a couple of days moving the video content and setting up the backups again, and things are now working fine. I can render a video and drop it into the Plex folder, and it appears and I can use it. No need for another round of multi-hour optimization. Start-up speeds on videos range from instantaneous (if it doesn't need transcoding) to "about as fast as Netflix starts", which is fine with me.
The 216Play is a low end device, so it can only transcode on the fly a single stream, but that's fine for my situation.
And after another day or so of mostly watching things render in the background, all of my un-processed disks and iTunes videos are now safely ensconced in Plex and I'm happy.
What I'm not sure is why it took me so long to think of replacing the older, small NAS with the new unit.
The one niggling thing I haven't figured out yet? For some reason, I can't convince the NAS or my EERO router to let the NAS share out onto the internet so I can't use it while on the road. A minor problem, given I can sync videos to the iPad to use instead, but one of these days, I'll have to dig in and figure it out. Some weird firewall issue, I think.
Overall I really like the 216Play. it's a lot faster than the unit it replaces, and it's nicely quite. It has more than enough disk to back up the big NAS and run the Plex server. Moving the videos off to it let me delete 3/4 of the disk pace dedicated to Plex because I don't need those custom optimized versions, and that freed up almost 12% of my big NAS disk space, so I have plenty of room to grow. And now my Warner Brothers and Private Snafu cartoons are up so I can fire them up whenever I feel like it. Which has me wondering…. What should I be adding to it next?

How EMM Helps with GDPR Compliance
Reasonable, common-sense security standards are becoming law in many regions of the world. In Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enacted in April 2016, will become fully applicable on May 25, 2018. GDPR will bring the European Union (EU) under one comprehensive and harmonised legal system for data protection and privacy. The monetary penalties and reputational damage of noncompliance with GDPR are substantial – the maximum fines are the greater of 20 million euros or 4% of the company's worldwide revenue.

Shaken Binding Problem: The book in your hand feels like it has been read a hundred times. The text block is sagging away from the case. The hinges are not torn but they don't have a tight feel to them.
Tools: Stick, a dowel, kniting needle, chopstick or bamboo skewer. PVA: pH neutral bookbinding glue.
- Stand the book upright and spread the boards, opening the hollowback as wide as possible.
- Coat a long thin stick (a dowel or thin knitting needle works well) with glue, NOT a lot of glue, just a smidgen.
- Insert the stick into the hollowback and run it against the inside of the hinge on each side of the spine. Apply glue to the hinges, NOT the spine itself. If you are not adept at applying minute amounts of glue, roll a piece of wax paper into a tube and tuck it into the hollowback before you begin.
- Close the book evenly and put it under weight overnight. It should sound crisp the first time you open it.

After the wedding, and after the photos, we went out to dinner in Bar Harbor and out for drinks! Jack, Ryan, and I walked around town in the misty night and got lobster rolls before we met up with the rest of the party!
Drinks and shots!
The next afternoon we went climbing in Acadia National Park, which was gorgeous! All of the climbs were right next to the water. It was easy to see that the base of some of the climbs were normally underwater! Luckily it was low tide.
After we headed back to the house and Jack and I split the bottle of Allagash Curieux that we picked up when we were at the brewery!
This beer can truly be enjoyed at any time. Its light and refreshing, yet complex and boozy. Moments after this picture was taken, I paired it with a fantastic ice cream sunday. What a treat!
ps- Maine was cold!

Were you looking for information about Labetalol? Labetolol is a common misspelling of labetalol.
Labetalol hydrochloride is a prescription medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as beta blockers. It is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. The medication is sold under the brand name Trandate®; generic versions of the drug are also available.
Although the medication cannot cure high blood pressure, it can significantly decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. By lowering blood pressure, labetalol can decrease the risk of developing health problems, such as a heart attack or stroke, that can result from long-term high blood pressure.
It is available in several different strengths, including 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg. Examples of side effects associated with the drug include nausea, heartburn or indigestion, dizziness, and fatigue.

Hey, guys! This post was supposed to go up on the 25th, but my friends wanted to hang out. So, I'm posting it the day after Christmas Day lol.
How'd your Christmas go? Did you get what you wanted? I hope so! Personally, I didn't want anything too big other than winter boots, and I got those. One of my best friends gave me her old 3DS (which, I'm not mad about because I missed having a DS). Gage gave me the rest of the Sailor Moon books that I wanted. Now, I only need the two short story books and I'll have all of Sailor Moon.
Some other stuff that I wanted to talk about is my big project coming up. I haven't told you guys about it yet because I don't know what direction I should take it in. What I do know is that I will post a tutorial on how to do it.
I have an actual "About" page going live on the 1st, so if you guys read it, you just might see my announcement in there?
Also, until the 1st, I will be going on a short hiatus, just so I can spend time with my family and friends and enjoy the rest of the holidays before I have to go back to class on the 8th.
Peace out! 😀
Like what you see? Support me some more!

Published at Monday, April 22nd, 2019 - 17:52:06 PM. Curtains. By Nicolette Peltier.
If you are using curtain wire go to the top of the window frame and attach one screw eye on the left and right hand side of the frame. Ready made organza curtains should have tabs at the top, attach hooks to both ends of the curtain wire and then thread the wire through the tabs of both curtains and attach the wire to the screw eyes on the window frame. If you are using a wooden dowel use cup hooks and not screw eyes for the dowel to rest on. Thread the dowel through the tabs and place on cup hooks.
Velvet curtains or Organza curtains are two different but elegant curtain materials. Velvet curtains give you a shining and enhanced look that is different from the other fabrics. The rich ambience of velvet is popularly known as these fabrics are usually used in dress material. Velvet curtains give you a lovely and richly outstanding ambience.

In what appears to be a significant transformation, Scarecrow decides to terrorize the city of Gotham by taking fear away. A full 180 degrees from his typical style of experimental fear induction, Scarecrow's newest weapon is a toxin that eliminates any biological response related to fear and anxiety. After a few of Scarecrow's patients get loose, create mayhem, and catch the discerning eye of Batman, the Caped Crusader begins his investigation into Scarecrow. However, he becomes a victim of the toxin and begins to act a bit more…like Batman? With his fear and vulnerability completely wiped from his psychological repertoire, Batman is reckless, impulsive, and lethal. He engages in risky and senseless behavior, putting himself and others in danger. Robin notices this shift in Batman's approach and immediately realizes the consequences ahead: If Batman's fearless ego goes unchecked, he may do something he'll regret. Robin takes things into his own hands by tying Batman up and pursuing Scarecrow on his own. The episode culminates with a confrontation among all three on a speeding train heading down a broken track, of course!
In our analysis of the episode, we address the real importance of anxiety and fear. Our bodies are equipped with a physiological "alarm system" designed to warn us of actual danger and risk. When that system goes awry, our ability to protect ourselves and others is disrupted. Does Batman ultimately learn this essential lesson about the advantages of fear? Does he experience remorse for putting Robin in danger during his altered state? Was there any permanent damage and will we see him become a colder, harder Batman? Listen below for our exploration of these topics as well as our responses to questions all about anxiety symptoms and ways to manage them!

History of our Building
We bought our building in 1982. It used to be a shoe factory (change of use from soles to souls!) and before that was sometimes used as a dance hall. We still have the sprung maple dance floor, but were glad to get rid of the industrial heaters and oily machines! The building was originally built after the war on a site that was bombed in October 1940
|Ward Street, Lostock Hall. October 1940. 25 residents were killed as two bombs destroyed several rows of terraced homes. The victims are remembered on a plaque at the end of Ward St.
|Our Ward Street premises in 1982. This is Calvary Christian Fellowship in the early years as we turned a factory into a church.
|Our premises in 1999. New roof, new logo!
Our premises in 2003, complete with new rendering. Phase 1 of building work commenced in 2002 as we began to bring our facilities into the 21st century.
Our Ward Street premises in 2008. Another new roof outside but far more dramatic changes inside. Phase 4 of our building work has now been completed, the main entrance has been relocated to the corner of the building, the lounge, kitchen, toilets, creche and toddler rooms have all been rebuilt and modernised and an extension has been added to the rear of the building.

Teachers—There are two of us! Mrs.Maybury teaches on a Monday /Tuesday and Miss Jenkinson teaches the remainder of the week. We speak to each other several times during the week, so be reassured that if you have made contact with one of us for any reason, it will have been shared with the other . There is no need speak to us both! We are lucky that Mrs.Griffiths will be out class TA, and she brings her wealth of knowledge with her. Miss.Osborne will also be working in Y1 on a Friday.
PE—The children will have 2 x PE sessions a week on Monday and Friday. Please make sure that they have their kit in school on a Monday Don't forget to label it all - even the pumps/trainers!
Forest Schools—Mrs.Maybury is our Forest Schools guru and she is planning to run some forest schools sessions on Monday afternoons. She will notify you by text when these are coming up and the children will need to bring suitable clothing on that day.
School Diary/ Reading Record —Your child will need to bring this in to school and hand it in every day. This is our communication line with you and they are checked daily. Feel free to pop a note in, if there is anything you need to let us know and we will do likewise. Please record all reading comments in here too, and if you need a book changing.
Home learning— This is a tricky one as some parents love home learning, others dread it! We are going to aim to keep it simple at the start of the year. Reading is key to everything, so the more you can do the better! Just 10 mins a day and sharing a book at bedtime makes a huge difference.
Phonics— Phonics (Letters and sounds) are key to reading and writing. They play a big part in the Y1 curriculum. The children will have to complete a phonic screening assessment (set by the government) in June. We will send home activities that will support their learning in school and we will also enclose a phonic sound checklist that you can keep at home. It is imperative that the children are confident in reading/recognising the different letter strings and what sounds they make.
Spellings—The children will soon be given a yellow book with some spellings to learn, for a test the following week. Please do not practise in their books, these are for new spellings and tests only.
We will let the children find their feet and then add more home learning into the week where we feel it is appropriate. Don't forget that there is always education city where they can access activities.
End of the day—We will dismiss the children one at a time from the classroom at the end of the day. Please come and say hello and introduce yourself this week as a lot of you are unfamiliar faces to us. Also please don't forget to let us know via the school diary if there is someone else who will be collecting your child at the end of the day, or if they are at a club/playden. We are unable to release children to other adults unless we have prior notification. Remember to phone to school office if there is to be a change in person collecting your child.
We look forward to a successful year working together!
