*LATEST* Taiwan Itinerary Year 2012 – 9 Days around Taipei, Taitung, Green Island, Kaohsiung, Jiufen
For our full trip itinerary, please click here.
updates: Shihlin Night Market has been relocated indoor since 25 December 2011.
The response we have received on our Taiwan Trip Summary is heartwarming and overwhelming. Emails and comments have been flowing in; asking us for more details and advices on where to stay and where to go. Though we are not exactly the best person in customizing an itinerary, we will try our best to assist. So, let us present to you the Day One of our Taiwan trip, which we will touch on the youth travel card, digital travel buddy and also our cheap accommodation in Taipei. We'll be providing a list of hotel/hostel that we really like too. Please scroll down.
We have the privilege to fly with MAS again; the first one was a 4D3N trip to Kota Kinabalu. It was a bigger air craft which appears open and spacious. I love the extra leg space and you know how an extra inch of legroom can mean the difference between comfort and misery.
Fish or Chicken? We took one each and we both agree have to agree that the in-flight meals were pretty decent and we finished our meal in a jiffy!
Even the British lady seated next to us asked for a second serving!
Since it was a 940 am flight, we were pretty energetic after a long night sleep. There are various on board entertainment options such as a great selection of movies, TV, audio channels and games. KampungBoy was busy with his games while I took the opportunity to clear some movie from my "To Watch" list. I manage to watch "17 Again" and "He's Just Not That into You" which made the 4.5 hour flight disappears quite quickly.
We arrived to Taoyuan International Airport in the span of a few rounds of golf game.
For travelers aged between 15 to 30, you may apply for Youth Travel Card at the counters of any of the NYC's nationwide Youth Hubs, of the tourism passenger service centers of the Taoyuan Taiwan International Airport or Hsiao Kang International Airport and the Tourism Bureau's itourism service centers (major railway stations, MRT stations and airports). A card holder is entitled to special offers and discounts on tourist attractions, youth home stay, bus tours, etc.
On top of that, we find the Digital Tour Buddy (consist of a hand set, sim card with talk time of NT200 and phone charger) very useful. It offers 24-hour service and assistance. Besides, it has in-built dictionary function of English-Chinese translation for backpackers enable to communicate without language problems. If the travelers are confused about where to stay or how to approach a local attraction, the English booking system of the youth hostel and the taxies has set up the one-key dials in the Digital Tour Buddy. International backpackers should visit the National Youth Commission's (NYC) youth travel website, http://youthtravel.tw and complete the online booking application form seven days to thirty days before entering Taiwan and bring relevant documents with them, including approved booking forms, passports, passport copies, and one extra valid ID. After leaving a copy of their passport and other ID as deposit, you will be issued with the Digital Tour Buddy.
From TaoYuan International Airport, we took Toward You Air Bus (NT90) to Sheraton Hotel Taipei as our hostel is just a stone's throw away. For more transportation information, please click here. We spent four nights in Taipei and we have chosen 台北常民宿集, a hostel cum apartment managed by Miss Yeh, a very nice owner. Our room (Room D, NT1000 per night) is actually a separated apartment unit with basic necessities such as hot shower, wireless internet, water dispenser, TV and air conditioner. It has a superb location (1 minute walk to shandao MRT station, 10 minute walk to Taipei train station) but the surrounding of our apartment is pretty dodgy.
We do, have a few places in our mind but they were all fully booked for the summer holidays. Do contact us if you need any help in securing a room/apartment because most of them are maintaining a Chinese language website.

To get around Taipei, remember to get an Easy Card (NT 500 with NT 100 as deposit). It can be used for Taipei Metro, buses, public parking lots, and certain intercity buses. Taipei's MRT system runs from 6am to 12 mid night.
Taxi charge is NT 70 for the first 1.5 km, NT5 for every 300 meters after and NT20 is added to fares starting from 11pm to 6am. Unlike Malaysia, taxis in Taiwan run on meter and we find the fares very reasonable.

Song of Songs 6:10
What a beautiful description of one of the daughters of Israel. The Song of Songs is often interpreted as being a love story between Solomon and a young shepherd woman. As the narrative relates, theirs is a hide-and-seek relationship, which promises fulfillment in the discovery of love.
Bible scholars see the Church of today as "grafted in"-like a wild olive tree into a broken branch, sharing the root & sustaining life (Roman 11:17). By the Spirit of Adoption, the Gentile Church shares in a love relationship with God as did the shepherdess with Solomon.
This painting was inspired by a granddaughter who recently visited Israel. As a Jewish descendant, she has hazel eyes and blond hair, thus, breaking the stereotyped concept of the dark-haired, olive skin Jew. I am reminded through this painting that in the New Jerusalem, the Church will be represented by ALL nations of the earth (Rev. 5:9). Thank you for looking!
This painting is not for sale, but if interested in my work, please contact me at:

The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman dropped a bombshell during during AMC's New York Comic Con panel, announcing that the two shows will, indeed, have a crossover in their future.
Despite years of adamant statements that the casts of the two shows will never cross paths, Kirkman told a packed Theater at Madison Square Garden that things have changed. At some point in the future, the shows will dovetail together... sort of.
RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Fear the Walking Dead's Alicia & Nick Debate Value of Survival
"We want these shows to have their own legs and have their own stories and be their own," Kirkman told an enthusiastic crowd. "There are two Walking Dead shows. There is one character that is going to go from one show — that I will not name — and appear in the other show — that I will not name."
That's all Kirkman has to say on the matter for now, leaving it up in the air as to which show will actually host the crossover episode or episodes, not to mention which character will be meeting new friends, or presenting themselves as a new enemy.
RELATED: Why The Walking Dead Can Drop F-Bombs in Season 8
From the day Fear the Walking Dead was announced, fans of the zombie franchise have been asking when the survivors featured on the two shows would cross paths. For year, the answer Kirkman (who Executive Produces both series) and others involved in shepherding the shows would respond with some form of, "It is never going to happen." The reasons given have included the fact that the series operate on different timelines (Fear is based at a point in The Walking Dead's past), the distance between the casts (one is based on the East Coast, the other in California and Mexico), and just the concern over whether they would be able to spin a story convincing enough to satisfy fans.
RELATED: Walking Dead: Jeffrey Dean Morgan Wants a Negan Origin Episode
It appears as though all of these concerns, and more, have been resolved, though that leaves fans with an all new subject to debate. Namely, which character will be making the crossover leap, and which series will audiences have to tune in to see it happen?
Follow along with CBR's live coverage of the panel here, for more Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead news as it breaks.
Returning for its eighth season to AMC on Oct. 22, The Walking Dead is a production of Skybound Entertainment starring Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Michael Rooker, David Morrissey, Melissa McBride, Scott Wilson, Michael Cudlitz, Emily Kinney, Chad L. Coleman, Lennie James, Sonequa Martin-Green and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Fear the Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT and is a production of Square Head Pictures created by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson. The show stars Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Mercedes Mason, Lorenzo James Henrie, Rubén Blades, Colman Domingo, Michelle Ang, Danay Garcia, Daniel Sharman, Sam Underwood, Dayton Callie and Lisandra Tena.

Insecurity, lack of funds hamper refugee camps
from ANTONY LANGAT in Nairobi, Kenya
NAIROBI – REFUGEE camps in Kenya and other countries in Africa are facing an unexpected decline of rations reduction due to shortages of funding.
According to United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and World Food Programme (WFP) the cuts in funding are a result of insecurity that has affected deliveries.
WFP Executive Director, Ertharin Cousin, and UN High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, appealed during a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland for $186 million to allow WFP to restore full rations and another $39 million to enable UNHCR to provide nutrition support to malnourished and vulnerable refugees in Africa.
"The number of crises around the world is far outpacing the level of funding for humanitarian operations, and vulnerable refugees in critical operations are falling through the cracks," said Guterres.
"It is unacceptable in today's world of plenty for refugees to face chronic hunger or that their children drop out of school to help families survive."
Across Africa, 2,4 million refugees in some 200 sites in 22 countries depend on regular food aid from WFP.
Currently, a third of those refugees have seen reductions in their rations, with refugees in Chad facing cuts as high as 60 percent, according to a joint news release issued by the two agencies.
Supplies have been cut by at least 50 per cent for nearly 450 000 refugees in remote camps and other sites in the Central African Republic, Chad and South Sudan.
Another 338 000 refugees in Liberia, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Ghana, Mauritania and Uganda have seen their rations reduced by between 5 percent and 43 percent.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
First of all, I'm featured on Mindy's Runner Spotlights, at Road Runner Girl! Check it out here! Thank you, Mindy!!
I am counting down the weeks until my FULL marathon. I have 9 more! I feel like I'm getting more nervous as each day goes by. Between now and then, I have 6 races!! I'll have a very busy next 2 months!
Starting today I'm getting back to my marathon training plan. The plan I've been following only has me going up to 16 miles- which seems crazy! How can I be ready for 26, if the most I do is 16? (The most I've done so far is 18) So I'm changing it a little, and will be doing at least 20, possibly more.
Last night as I was checking out some Instagram pics, I came across one from Larisa, at zero to twenty six point two. It was fried kiwi! I had never heard of doing anything like this, and I just happened to have a kiwi and coconut oil, so I had to try it!
I just sliced a kiwi, put it in about 1/2 tsp of coconut oil and fried it for about 3-4 minutes on each side. It was SO GOOD!! I've also found out you can do this to bananas, as well! Can't wait to try that!
Have you ever 'fried' fruit?
Did you run or race this weekend?

I'm excited. I've just booked my ticket to see Duffy live in concert at the Sydney Opera House on 26 March.
I know that it's still two months away but I never thought I would get to see her. The original news was that she would be just playing music festivals which didn't thrill me (I must be getting old). But Duffy will be performing in a classy venue which suits me.
I wonder if I'll have to get dressed up…
Thank you to Ryan from the other side of the world for letting me know what was happening in my own city!

Our Sensitivity to Wickedness
Just two Scriptures will suffice for God's view about our tolerance of sin in this world:
Tit 2:11,12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
1Pe 2:11,12 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Think on these things. Until next time, God bless you, and look-up... Jesus is coming again! Pastor Craig

Amen, Bro. Ledbetter!
This is good. I know what you meant about sin being tolerated because people grow comfortable with it. Here in Holland we have a saying ~ "Alles mag," ("Anything goes.") ~ and it's true. All that is vile and filthy is tolerated, and that which is righteous and holy is looked down upon. Everything is backwards and upside down.
My dad just preached a message about the spirit of Laodicea. Unfortunately I was in the nursery and the message didn't record (interesting!), so I didn't hear if myself. Dad did, however, talk about some of his main points with us during family devotions on Monday.
The witches who have the closest contact with Satan have a name for each demonic spirit, but there is one that has no name. They call it the "Christian spirit." A former witch, now a preacher, believes this "Christian spirit" is the spirit of contentment. Like a drug, it numbs the believer to sins that should bother him.
Serious soul searching is not enjoyable, but it is essential for every Christian to do it from time to time. Our 1 John 1:9 soap bar is ever effective, praise the Lord!
May God make our hearts soft and tender to that which grieves Him. May the things that anger Him anger us. Lord, let my heart be broken by the things that break Your heart!
Thanks for sharing, Preacher!
He IS coming soon! Hallelujah! Heaven looks sweeter with each passing day.
Forever in Him,
Hannah Huussen
- Patrick, Tsahraf. said...
Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
Jeremiah 6
14 They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time [that] I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
And it says the same thing over again. Why have I not heard of any one having this as a "memory verse"?
Jeremiah 8
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 13
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? [then] may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

Once we go under contract, that's when the heavy lifting begins. I am present at EVERY inspection. Because so many of my buyers live out of state, it's quite rare that their schedules will allow them to be present for the many inspections that will be performed; so I believe it's my job to be your eyes and ears if you cannot attend.
As I mentioned, there will be several inspections of the property you are considering purchasing. The first inspection I schedule is always the home inspection, because this is the inspection that reveals the most about the current condition of the major components of the home.
Because this home inspection is so revealing, it is likely that once the report is in, I'll need to contact some local service vendors for repair quotes. I'll get those quotes to you right away, so that you can decide whether or not you want to proceed with the purchase transaction.
I step through the inspections in an orderly fashion, rather than ordering them all at once in a 'buckshot' approach. Yes, it is more time consuming on my end to do it this way; however, I don't want to spend your money unnecessarily. If all the inspections are ordered at once, and some performed prior to the home inspection that ultimately turns out to be a deal breaker, then you cannot recover any of the monies spent on inspections that have already been performed…which is why I'm willing to order the inspections one at a time.
I've got an excellent home inspector and I've used his services for over a dozen years. He has inspected hundreds of properties, as well as inspected every property I have personally purchased. He is timely, almost always arriving before I do (and I pride myself on not being late). Unlike some others, he invites my buyers to be present, even though he realizes this will slow down the inspection progress.
He feels (as I do) that this is an invaluable opportunity for my buyers to really get to know the property, how it was built, and why things were done in a certain way. My buyers greatly appreciate being able to be present, and I can honestly say, I continue to learn something new at each inspection.
If you're purchasing a home with a pool and/or hot tub, he will inspect these items at an additional charge.
When the quotes have come in and you feel comfortable proceeding towards closing, then the next inspection I order is the pest. While the home inspection run several hundred dollars, the pest inspection is $75 - $85, and is quite simply, the best money you will spend during the transaction. Unfortunately, our environment is the perfect habitat for termites, and so it is crucial to check for past damage as well as active termites.
After the pest inspection, it's time to check the septic system. While there are some subdivisions that are on community sewer, most are not, and so the tank needs to be checked to make sure it's in good working condition. In order to perform the inspection, the tank must first be pumped.
If the home you're purchasing has an elevator, it will need to be inspected to make sure it is in compliance with all safety rules and regulations, and that it is in good working condition.
Once all the inspections are completed, it's time to order the survey. I have an excellent surveyor who responds timely to my survey requests.
While there are many Outer Banks real estate attorneys, as in every other profession here at the beach as well as in your home town, some people excel in their professions. You need an attorney who is skilled in title search, who can answer your legal questions, and knows how to handle deed issues as they arise.
There are many moving pieces throughout a given transaction, and all of them should run smoothly. That's the difference an experienced agent can provide - making the transaction seamless and stepping you through the process at every turn. While no transaction is stress-free, my goal is to make it as hassle-free as possible, which is one of the main reasons why my clients return to use my services again and again.

Circuit City SayonaraIn Retailers on January 16, 2009 at 3:09 pm
From CNN Money: "Bankrupt electronics retailer Circuit City Inc. said Friday it has asked for court approval to close its remaining 567 U.S. stores and sell all its merchandise. The company said it has 34,000 employees."
I read news like this and think various things: "Those poor people losing their jobs!" and "What does that say about the state of our economy?" and so on. No matter how much I want the empathy to win out, my thoughts quickly change to, "I bet this is the perfect opportunity to buy some discounted stuff."
Does that make me a capitalist pig?
I wonder what percentage of Circuit City stuff is actually Made In The USA?

Featured on the soundtrack to GTA V, this song is a stone-cold groove. It is perfect for your summer barbecue with your aunties and uncles. Here is your ear-worm for the day. I just added this to "They Sang That."
Yesterday, I mentioned the "They Sang That" playlist. One of the songs on it is "(Let's Go) All The Way" by The Whispers.
Never mind that my brother is priming his woman for their very first time; get into these dance moves.
"They Sang That" is a playlist I created on Google Play Music. It's a collection of songs performed by two or more people. There are currently 54 songs on it, but I continue to add to it regularly.

I am in the same boat, Dinsdale. I wanted to try to use rumbles and my last few matches to finish the arc that I had been working on for so long just cause it felt right. But, if Callisto is frozen till the end I may not get that chance.
Posted 29 July 2013 - 07:35 AM
What could possibly be my last match, it should at least have some feeling.

Well, it looks like Callisto's back up-and-running. Now might be a good time to make those final matches and CP rumbles.

Mh...I had been planning to write an original story for this but the way college is going and how I keep spending time here when I should be working on hw(procrastination and laziness), I probably won't be able to. I'll try too...but it seems likely another copy pasta of old matches might come up. I'd want there to be a last match rather than not, even if it's one of those. So yeah.
Posted 20 August 2013 - 11:28 PM
Could there be some last-minute movement on this? Stay tuned.
Posted 24 August 2013 - 03:58 PM
I'm like 90% done with a match. Hopefully I can get it done before the match-making function shuts down.
Posted 24 August 2013 - 06:58 PM
Posted 24 August 2013 - 09:28 PM
Finally done!
I really scrambled to finish it for the site's last days. Hope you enjoy!

Guitars always inspire creation of artistic designs, primarily because of the wonderful artistic pieces that are accredited to guitars. It's an age old trick for artists to depend on naturally beautiful sights for the beautification of their designs, and guitars are right at the top of the list of the most dependable design inspirations and instruments for designers. Whereas the flaming guitar has become a staple for growing artists, more mature designers choose to work with patterns and shades adorning guitar bodies. It might come as a surprise for young artists to observe all kinds of crazy guitar logos such as guitars transforming into ships, anchors, alphabets, etc., each of which they can use to underscore their designs. The range of colours for designers to explore from the guitar logos niche is also astounding. You can also see fashion logo.
The routine guitar shades of brown and black are just the beginning; you have beige, white, blue, greens and even multicoloured guitars to work with! Among the more famous categories of guitar logos are designs with outlines of guitars against stark backgrounds, glowing guitars sending out multi coloured rays to all parts, solo guitars inclined against walls of empty stadiums, and shadowy artists holding on to their guitars with packed audiences clamouring for more. You can also see Dog Logos. Other guitar designs emboss the word prominently on white and black backgrounds making, the designs appropriate for music industry and bands. Even nightclubs, restaurants and concert organizers can make use of these logos to put across their brands in the best possible way.

Capitalism, as defined by Adam Smith, solely features in societies with the proper financial institutions and the correct respect for the foundations of behavior" (as cited in Galbraith, 1993, p. 12). Don't take what I stated above to frivolously as a result of truly you have to work on your business on a regular basis, I imply on a regular basis. Second, I acquired my pages up and working with people clicking in. Those are my two main milestones for me. Under is how I select my business model.
That being mentioned, I think I ought to have the proper to solely rent one legged bald asian midgets if it MY capital funding MY business. That's simply the tip of the iceburg, there are a lot of services that support your business because of the idea of collectivism from the lots that don't financially benefit them in any way. It is a challenge to construct a business while you're broke and have no job however it will probably also help to inspire you.
If you are doing e-commerce business incorporating will legitimize your business. After two months of doing this, I had really been capable of outrank the business on it is own Google search results and folks had been discovering me before them! I am assuming for you it is personally reprehensible, as it's to me. It will also not be a good business alternative in most cases, as well. Anyway, before you jump right in working your business, even in hub pages, make sure you have a business account with your financial institution.
If the company you are concentrating on has a brand supervisor or an internet fame supervisor, she or he can be encouraging the business to offer you no matter you need to make you stop.

Movie— Cynical thirty-something Nancy (Lake Bell) is single and does not want to be. When a chance encounter on the train leads to her being mistaken as Jack's (Simon Pegg) blind date Jessica, she decides to roll with it and go on a date with Jack. Naturally, Jack and Nancy hit it off right away, having a whole montage sequence worth of a cute date until circumstances and an obsessed former classmate of Nancy's conspire to reveal her identity. Once Nancy's identity as not the twenty-four year old triathlete Jessica is revealed, Jack and Nancy turn on each other, but it transpires that Jack's motives for arranging a date with Jessica were more mercenary than he admitted to initially. When the real Jessica contacts Jack and asks for a do-over of their date, Jack must decide if he wants to meet the actual Jessica or explore his new connection with Nancy.
Man Up is a great feel-good, date night type movie with some genuinely funny parts. I especially appreciated that it was less raunchy than some modern romantic comedies (though still a bit raunchy). As a devotee of Meg Ryan-era rom-coms, I'm always pleased when modern rom-coms fall on the tamer side of things. If you like this one, I would also suggest Run, Fatboy, Run (also stars Simon Pegg) and My Best Friend's Wedding (also has a cynical protagonist).

Test preparation for college entrance exams, especially for the crucial Scholastic Aptitude Test, has become a $2 billion to $4 billion industry, along with the market for downloads and book supplements.
There has been much debate about whether test prep can increase scores and by how much — a cost-ineffective 30 points or a healthy 100, enough to raise an admissions officer's eyebrows and cause hand-clapping among parents who pay for all this.
Whether high scores are really much of a predictor of college success, let alone success in life, is a question best answered by Socrates or maybe Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg,
"Irrespective of the quality or type of school attended, cumulative grade-point average (GPA) in academic subjects in high school has proved to be the best overall predictor of student performance in college," Richard Atkinson, president emeritus of the University of California system, has written. Atkinson is the man most responsible for forcing changes to the modern SAT.
Still, all hand-wringing aside, scoring three 800s — in English, math and writing — for a dream pitch of 2,400?
Can't hurt.
You think?
About 80 California high school students out of some 234,767 taking the SAT last year scored that perfect trifecta. Of these 80, a stunning one-quarter, or 20, came out of the program at a two-year-old San Diego startup company, Summa Education Services, founded by Chief Executive Chris Hamilton and his partners Andrew Chung and test-whiz Karl Hagen.
Summa charges about $20 an hour, or as much as $2,700 for its four-month "2300 plus" course. The company's revenue has grown 45 percent a year.
How do they do it?
"Most SAT prep in the United States is not skills-based," says Hamilton, 43, a former Ph.D. instructor in 18th- and 19th-century English literature at UCLA. "It's based on short cuts, strategies and tricks. You can impart these to students in a short period of time without actually teaching skills at all. For instance, a pretty common strategy is 'Skip the hard math problems, because they're not really worth any more than the easy ones.'
"But the kinds of students who walk through my door don't want to leave questions unanswered. They're getting A's in school, or A's and B's. They're motivated.
"Most test prep in the U.S. generally has one instructor who teaches reading, writing and math, the three components of the SAT, and the instructors are usually college kids, sometimes high school students. Our teachers have often been awarded best-teacher-of-the-year in some system or university.
"Most courses sign their students off the Internet anonymously with a credit card. We meet with students and their families for about 45 minutes, and then I talk to the student herself. There's got to be a spark. She has to want to be in school several hours a day, all summer long, or at night, or on weekends. We then test them ourselves, before and every week, too, and group them in nine different classes depending on the holes in their learning."
What about the La Jolla party girl whose grandparents are footing the bill, and maybe she's plenty smart but not so driven?
"That's actually a very interesting problem," says Hamilton, who would make an ace child psychologist, "more in L.A. than in San Diego, actually."
He explains that some intelligent kids are from families so rich they know no matter what they do, they are going to have very comfortable lives. The sweet spot for Summa is lower down, the family that has worked hard to achieve something but wants more for their kids, engineers and scientists who'd like their children to launch their own companies, for instance.
"What's right about San Diego is pretty dramatic and extraordinary. We have something that I think doesn't exist everywhere. And that is a robust middle class. We have people who pursue the American dream. We have people who, like a lot of our grandparents and great-grandparents, came here because of the opportunities, and their kids have access to great public schools and great teachers and safe neighborhoods.
"San Diego looks a little puzzling to a lot of East Coast colleges — all these amazing kids coming from San Diego. A lot of it has to do with technology, the life sciences, the reasons that parents have come from other countries to make a life in San Diego. And they bring with them the kind of work ethic that Americans typically bring with them.
"What's wrong with San Diego is that education is parsed out and spread out so unfairly. Poway Unified and San Dieguito Unified and one or two San Diego Unified schools are some of the best schools anywhere, by any standards. In other parts of San Diego, the kids don't have the same quality of teachers, they don't have the same experience, they don't have the same resources, they don't have the parents forming foundations to pay for things that kids and schools need. It's really strikingly desperate. It's literally not fair.
"Most of our students are English-speaking as children, what I call 1.5, not first generation but with first- or second-generation parents. Many of our parents bring a sensibility informed by another system, India, China, Korea, sometimes France or Germany. 'My kid has this hobby or passion, you know? She loves playing music, but I tried to tell her she's got to be focusing on school and she should give this up.' It's usually my job to say, 'Your daughter's right. What she loves to do speaks strongly to a college-admissions officer.'"
Hamilton needs to leave his modern Carmel Valley office, where chairs are piled high with new hard-bound novels he hands out like strawberry pancakes. Time to teach a class on reading comprehension. It is a discrete sea of energetic Chinese/Korean/Indian faces. You wonder how the few tousle-haired beach blonds got there — until they start spouting Kafka.
Whatever's wrong with America's educational system, says Hamilton, it's not a problem at the very top because we produce a lot of entrepreneurs, and other countries struggle to figure us out. Other countries are not so interested in their students' individual creativity, their challenges, their stories.
"In our system, we have 36,000 high school valedictorians. Yale turned down 28,000 high-scoring individuals. The No. 4 in the high school class might be more engaging, interesting, look more like someone who's going to do something in life because that kid maybe started a nonprofit to deliver tutoring services to kids in an inner-city school."
So, you can get into Summa, perhaps the best prep-testing program in the country, but, uh, you got to test to get in. And then, once your own fiery motivation has been harnessed to your native ability and you actually score 100 points higher, or maybe even win the derby with a Trifecta 2,400, then Hamilton and Summa counsel that you have only made it through the Cloud. The top of the mountain lies higher. You will need to be/become a well-rounded individual.
These days, ambitious kids study so intensely they have little time to read for pleasure. A major theme for Summa is teaching comprehension, irony, point of view, just plain reading. Math can be taught, but reading must be read. Longitudinal studies show that adults score worse on the math component of the SAT over the decades but better on reading, presumably because they've had time to do a lot more of it than most bright 17-year-olds.
Every ambitious wonk in America remembers his SAT score the way most people remember where they were on
"Ah," smiles Hamilton, holding up a finger Dumbledore-fashion, "that's called dysgraphia," the test word for atrocious, developmentally down-driven penmanship. "You have to have a doctor's diagnosis for that, then you get to use your computer."
There's always an angle.

Although Comic-Con International's yearly WonderCon show usually likes to spend its springtime in scenic San Francisco, this year it's taking a road trip down south to spend some time in the happiest place on Earth ... or right next to it, anyway. WonderCon runs this weekend, March 16-18, at the Anaheim (Calif.) Convention Center.
Special guests at this year's show include Arthur Adams, Renae De Liz, Mark Evanier, Michael Golden, Joe Hill, Rebekah Isaacs, Carol Lay, Jim Lee, Mike Mignola, Todd Nauck, Steve Niles, Eric Powell, Humberto Ramos, Bob Schreck, Scott Snyder, Ryan Sook, Fiona Staples, Richard Starkings, J. Michael Straczynski, Mark Waid and Marv Wolfman. On the media side, the con will welcome Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Jorge Garcia, Joshua Jackson and John Noble, among many others.

You can find the complete programming schedule on the CCI site, and here's a round-up of various things you can do, buy and expect to find out about at the show ...

• Archaia will have several announcements at the show, if the promotional posters CBR debuted this week are any indication.
• Image Comics won't have a booth at WonderCon--no doubt their con elves are worn out from the Image Expo--but many of their creators will be there. Don't forget to look for Ted McKeever if you're interested in the Mondo poster we debuted earlier this week.

I love using a variety of spices when I am cooking even on my scrambled eggs. Aside from it makes our food scrumptious, spices has a lot of health benefits too. Spices helps boost our immune system and each of them has a role in treating minor to major illnesses. What's funny is that my picky eater son loves my scrambled egg. He requested me to cook this for breakfast. We usually eat it with steamed jasmine rice and hot beverages (hot chocolate or coffee for me and hubby). If you want to make one, here is my the recipe.
What you need:
- 6 pcs eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 slice green bell pepper
- 1 pcs tomato (remove the seeds)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 slice of big onion
- black bell pepper(use sparingly)
- salt (use sparingly)
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Put eggs and milk in a mixing bowl and beat until it looks bright yellow evenly, set aside
- Chop green bell pepper, onion, tomato and garlic
- Set the stove in medium heat, place the frying pan, it's great if you have a non stick pan, but if you don't have one its okay, add the oil when the pan is already warm
- Saute chopped spices with 5 seconds interval starting with garlic, add the onion, then tomato and lastly bell pepper. Stir for 1 minute, do not overcook.
- Add the egg mixture and do not stir. Let the egg cook for 1 minute or until the bottom part set. Stir while adding a dab of black pepper and salt. Continue stirring until the uncooked part become firm. Transfer the egg to the plate,

Selby District Lions Club Meet:
Working Men's Club
71-73 Micklegate
4th Wednesday every month (except Dec.)
7.30pm (19:30hrs)
If you'd like to become a member, please use our contact us page
The Lion's Message In a Bottle scheme is a simple idea designed to encourage people to keep their personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common location - the Fridge. Whilst it is focused on the more vulnerable people in our community, anyone can have an accident at home, so this scheme can benefit anyone, including you.
How does the Scheme work?
Your details are stored in a plastic container, which is kept in your fridge.
Two small stickers, unique to the scheme and known to the emergency services and other caring agencies, are attached within your house, one to your fridge door and the other inside your front door.
What have I to do?
Contact Selby Lions at email@example.com or come to a meeting
This contains a form, 2 square labels and a rectangular label.
Complete the form - (Medical information can be obtained from your GP).
Place the form back into the plastic container provided and close the lid. Stick the rectangular label round the container.
Store the container in your fridge. Put a square sticker on the fridge door near to the handle.
Put the other square sticker on an inside door or panel within the hallway.
If more than one member of the household suffers from an illness or allergy, please ensure that all forms are kept inside one container only.
These containers (Shown top left) are locally sponsored by The Selby and District Lions Club and are FREE OF CHARGE.

August 2016 Newsletter
Let Your Lion Roar
August is the month of the lion – and it has come roaring in with as much heat and all the other weather elements as it can muster. This is a season that provides lots of energy to draw from, if you know how to do so!
Connections, connections, connections make the world go around this time of year. The warmth and energy of the season catalyzes our inner fire, which supports our relationships with those closest to us as well as our newest friends.
My life has been in full swing this summer with plenty of travel and many classes. Each one has held deep learning, and I have found my heart profoundly touched by the healing work done in these circles.
One of my other joys in teaching is getting to reconnect with the people who staff my workshops. This inner circle of support is something I look forward to everywhere I go. Not to mention engaging with lots of friends both old and new.
I am now back in Reston for the rest of August, teaching Developing and Deepening CranioSacral Presence (DDCSP) this week at the Reston Sheraton, finishing my upcoming book and seeing clients. I must say: I love summertime and the freedom and energy this time of year brings me.
If you live here in the Washington, DC area, come join me for the DDCSP class this week. It is the last one I will be teaching in 2016 and, this year only you can attend this class with no prerequisites.
In any case, take your summer energy and run with it – allow yourself to truly enjoy what brings you pleasure!
And, Enjoy…

Q: I have 5 apple trees and last year the growth was stunted with only 3-4 inches/year and also infested with apple maggots. I don't like the fly traps as one time a small bird was caught, probably following the moth. Is there an organic way, (have been using dormant oil), to get rid of these and also when and how much to fertilize these 4 year old trees?

This two- to three-week, six-unit module introduces the importance of oceans, basic ocean processes, and impacts of human activity on ocean health. It aims to increase awareness of our dependence on and responsibility for the largest habitat on Earth. Materials encourage systems thinking by addressing physical, chemical, geological, and biological aspects of the oceans. Students study the oceans from these multiple perspectives using scientific data and engaging activities designed to support higher-level thinking.
Strengths of the Module
This module engages students to learn about the largest and least explored habitat on our planet: the ocean. They are introduced to major oceanographic processes and the effects of global climate change on conditions that sustain marine life, ecosystems and, ultimately, humans. Throughout the module, students are challenged to think about the interconnectedness of Earth systems and how altering the atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere impacts oceans (hydrosphere). One of the primary goals of this module is for students to understand the role that humans play in altering marine systems and their inhabitants and to recognize the power we have as individuals and a society to work toward practices that will sustain our ocean.
To foster an integrated understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of ocean systems students participate in activities that include group discussions and acquisition, analysis and interpretation of scientific data. Working with data sets allows them to employ newly acquired interdisciplinary knowledge to make management decisions for marine protected areas and evaluate the effectiveness of geoengineering strategies that are meant to mitigate climate change through the manipulation of ocean processes. In summary, students will acquire an overall foundation on how the ocean works.
A great fit for courses in:
- Oceanography
- Physical Geography
- Marine Biology
- Marine Science
- Environmental Science
- Sustainability
Our goal is for students to gain an appreciation of the complexity of ocean processes and the need to study them, and to make students aware of our dependence on and responsibility for the largest habitat on Earth. In this two-week module, students study the oceans from multiple perspectives, using scientific information and engaging activities designed to support higher-level thinking skills. Six units are designed to be taught as a cohesive set, or individually, to meet differing needs of the instructor and course. Students will be introduced to aspects of physical, chemical, geological, and biological oceanography and marine biology using materials that build on inquiry-based pedagogical methods. An emphasis on working with real world data and the scientific method will be a recurring theme of the module. Unit 1 serves as an introduction to the module, and Unit 6 serves as a capstone unit, offering opportunities for students to synthesize the major concepts introduced in Units 1-5.

Posted by Voyager Sopris Learning on Dec 14, 2017
Adolescents who struggle with reading often are reluctant to bring attention to themselves and engage in class. Teachers tell us these students want to learn, but are uncomfortable when asked to read aloud or sound out words in learning groups. Even when placed in reading intervention classes with other struggling students, the challenge is very personal and can be demoralizing. However, with the right intervention, these students—who share the same dreams and aspirations as their grade-level peers—can become more, do more, and achieve more.
With 71 percent of students reading below grade level, administrators at Hernandez Middle School in Round Rock, TX, faced a literacy crisis. Tammyfern Reininger teaches sixth, seventh and eighth grade students at Hernandez who represent a broad spectrum of learning needs—English as a second language, special education, general education, and others. As diverse as their need are, the students all had one thing in common: the need to improve their literacy skills to get to grade level and achieve success throughout their lives.
Principal Mario Acosta arrived at Hernandez Middle School from LBJ High School in Austin, TX, where they had used LANGUAGE!® Live to help struggling readers improve their literacy skills. With more than two thirds of his students at the new school reading below grade level, he knew he had to act fast to help them attain the literacy skills needed to advance academically. Having worked with LANGUAGE! Live before, Acosta knew the benefits of the program. "My favorite thing about LANGUAGE! Live is that it individualizes (learning) for every student. Every student is being helped at the level that they need help," he said.
With alternating methods of instruction—teacher-led one day and online, computer-based another day—students were engaged in a dynamic learning environment that included social media elements and peer-to-peer instruction. One sixth grade student, who was reading at a first-grade level when she entered Hernandez, said LANGUAGE! Live not only helped her build reading skills, but helped in all her classes. She was not an exception, Reininger said, "I've had kids tell me one on one, 'Mrs. Reininger, it makes science easier, it makes history easier, because I understand what I'm reading.'" Acosta knew the program was working because he said they saw years' worth of Lexile® gains in a single semester. School administrators said students not only improved their Lexile scores, they also saw significant improvement in the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness program, STAAR.
Improvement in state assessments and Lexile scores were not the only measures of success—students experienced personal growth and new-found confidence. From once reluctant, disengaged learners, students at Hernandez discovered they could become more than struggling readers, and began to outwardly voice their dreams and desires:
"I can build up my ability to succeed for my future."
"Finish school and go to college is my main goal."
"Going to college."
"I want to study fashion design."
"I want to be a doctor."
"It's a life-changing experience to see a student who struggled to read become a more fluent reader. I mean, it's the most powerful thing I've ever encountered as an educator," Acosta said.
Struggling readers at Hernandez Middle School have been transformed into confident, goal-oriented students who look forward to a bright future. A future where MORE is possible. A future where they are limited only by their imaginations.

Jewish leaders fear online surge of Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' fuels new wave of hate
As Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" enjoys a disturbing second act as a wildly popular e-book, Jewish activists are appealing to publishers to mute Adolf Hitler's manifesto with annotations that put its hateful message into historical and humanitarian context.
Originally published in 1925, the 387-page anti-Semitic manifesto on the "Jewish peril" and the Nazi ideology has become a bona fide online sensation, topping Amazon's Propaganda & Political Psychology section as of Thursday for just 99 cents. Elsewhere, two different versions ranked No.12 and No. 15, respectively, in the Politics & Current Events section of the iTunes bookstore as of Wednesday. While such rankings in one of several categories does not make the book a true best-seller, they do indicate a spike in popularity.
But Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, thinks online sellers large and small should only sell annotated versions of the book since there's "no way for those who apply democratic rules and values to the Internet" to ban it outright.
"We know that the facts of life are that you cannot censor any idea from the Internet, it's simply impossible," Cooper told FoxNews.com. "But an annotated version is important for someone who doesn't know the context of the time and so that they're not reading pure genocidal hate."
Publishers of the book have acknowledged the concerns of Jewish groups before. Random House, which holds the U.K. copyright on the most popular English translation of "Mein Kampf," has donated in excess of $1 million to the Holocaust Survivors' Memoirs Project. In 2000, under pressure from the World Jewish Congress, U.S. rights holder Houghton Mifflin also agreed to fund Jewish causes. But the WJC is now asking the world's largest online retailer, Amazon, to stop selling "Mein Kampf" and other books that promote hate altogether.
Cooper stopped short of asking for the book to be banned, but said annotating it is a thoughtful compromise that would help new generations of readers properly understand a book he says continues to propel "very disturbing, very corrosive" views of Jews worldwide.
"It adds fuel to the fire of hatred," Cooper said. "It's shorthand for Jew hatred, and that makes it an automatic seller."
Cooper, along with historical consultant Harold Brackman, said Hitler's posthumous e-book surge is not entirely unexpected.
"It exploits pent-up demand in Germany, where print versions have been verboten, but cyberspace again makes a joke of the Maginot Line of censorship laws," Cooper and Brackman wrote on JewishJournal.com.
The glorification of Hitler, Cooper claims, is being seen among Muslims and Arabs in the Netherlands, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, Japan, India and South Korea.
Cooper also noted that the German dictator's book — whose title means "My Struggle" and was written in a Bavarian prison prior to his ascent to power — was also distributed last year by North Korean ruler Kim Jong-Un to his top officials as a leadership skills manual. Kim reportedly handed out translations of the text during his birthday in January, according to a report by New Focus International, an online outlet operated by North Korean defectors.
"This in a regime already using gas chambers to experiment on and murder selected political prisoners and that is incarcerating as many as 200,000 citizens in inhuman forced-labor camps," Cooper and Brackman wrote.
Had the book "been taken seriously" upon its publication, the 20th century could have been very different, according to its description on Amazon.com.
"Beyond the anger, hatred, bigotry and self-aggrandizing, 'Mein Kampf' is saddled with tortured prose, meandering narrative and tangled metaphors (one person was described as "a thorn in the eyes of venal officials")," Amazon.com reads. "That said, it is an incredibly important book."
One possible reason behind the surge is the anonymity offered by electronic books, according to Chris Faraone of Vocativ.com.
"'Mein Kampf' hasn't made The New York Times nonfiction chart since its U.S. release in 1939, the same year Germany invaded Poland, and its print sales have fallen steadily ever since," Faraone wrote. "But with a flood of new e-book editions, Hitler's notorious memoir just clocked a banner digital year.
"Trying to curb Hitler's sales has proven a futile exercise worldwide," he wrote. "Since showing up in Asia 15 years ago, 'Mein Kampf' has sold in excess of 100,000 copies in India. In 2005, the debut of the first-ever Turkish translation sold 100,000 copies in the first two months. And now, with the e-book revolution in full swing, readers are downloading Hitler everywhere."
Cooper agreed with Faraone's take, saying the anonymity provided by e-books has "absolutely" been a factor, particularly in Germany. He's not hopeful, however, that online merchants like Amazon will make his suggestion of selling only annotated versions of the book a reality.
"I'm not holding my breath," he said. "I'm not sure this is a problem we're going to solve. But would it make a difference?"
In response to the surge in digital downloads of the book, as well as the expiration of its Bavarian copyright next year, the Anti-Defamation League is offering an introduction to the English translation written by Holocaust survivor and ADL National Director Abraham Foxman.
"We believe it is important for Mein Kampf to continue to be published as it does have value to historians and students of World War II and Holocaust history," Foxman said in a statement. "There is always the concern, however, that some people who are already infected with anti-Semitism will misuse the book in an attempt to glorify Hitler or reinforce their own warped views about Jews. We think the only constructive way for the book to be published is with an introduction that explains the historical context and the impact of the thinking behind Hitler's words, which led right up to the murderous, racist Nazi regime."

I spent the good part of Sunday afternoon enjoying the sunny weather at Frog Lake. There was a slight breeze and not a cloud in the sky, so the temperatures were in the high 60's and low 70's. There was only a few people at the lake, enjoying fishing off the banks and checking out the tadpoles in the water. I ventured from my favorite spot on the south east side of the lake up to this point on the north side to capture Mt Hood peeking over the trees. Because of the breeze, I slowed down my shutter speed to show the clearness of the water, despite the choppy surface. A perfect way to spend the end of a weekend!
