Weres, shifters, and vampires, oh my! Supernatural creatures are a favorite of paranormal fiction and mythology in general, and I've often been asked--and have been posed this question as part of the Blogathon--as to which sort I would be were I to be able to choose.
I like the immortality of the vampire, but as someone who has been vegan for a lengthy period of time, I am not certain how I would feel about having to drink nothing but blood for the rest of my life. If like the characters in my Dark Moon series I could ingest food and wine with a bit of magick, I might consider it--but I'd stay vegan when I did. Although one wonders if I would remain truly vegan if I were living off the blood of others while continuing to enjoy my dessert made out of chocolate and silken tofu....
Then there are the weres and shifters. I think I prefer the shifters over the weres. The idea of changing into a wolf or some other animal without my control during full moons doesn't sound all that appealing to me, but I like the idea of being able to change my form--provided the process wasn't painful!
I think I'd like to be a dragon shifter, and I give full credit to Yasmine Galenorn for giving me a dragon shifter fetish. Smokey the dragon in her Sisters of the Otherworld series is one hot, steaming dragon-man. Wooooow! Camille is one lucky, lucky gal!!
And how about the rest of you? Vampire, were, or shifter--and why?

I've already had a couple of emails and tweets from readers unable to find Flirt, above. Well, NARS is another range that has distributed exclusives around several stores so as far as I can work out no one store has everything.
This is my favourite NARS Christmas set and it contains Dolce Vita Mini Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, Baroque Mini Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil, Roman Holiday Lipstick and Damage Lipstick in the red perspex lip-shaped case. I think it's a pretty good beauty gift at £30 but it is in rather short supply so if you're going, go now! It's at John Lewis HERE. Don't forget you can click and collect from Waitrose stores if you have one nearby.

I love mine! And I got it from Harvey Nichols. Funnily enough when I googlred Nars fling kit it didn't come up, but with just fling kit it was there 🙂

Classroom Context:
As previously stated in my first implementation of an instructional strategy, the school that I have taught at is a private Christian school. Since I teach elective classes, they allow me to create my own curriculum by basing it around the school's vision and goals. I have implemented the strategy of Identifying Similarities and Differences in my junior high technology class and my review of this strategy can be viewed here: https://joannakharmon.wordpress.com/2013/07/29/strategy-2-identifying-similarities-and-differences/
This class is filled with 7th and 8th grade students and the majority of the class is boys with an exception of a few girls. The goal of this junior high elective is for students to see a range of creative technologies such as the Office suite, graphic design, and videography. The objective is that students learn an overview of specific tools and programs that they can then dig deeper in through high school classes, which they will have the opportunity to take in the future. The students are coming into class with an understanding of technological devices but almost every student has no experience with the editing programs. Some students have used aspects of the Office suite but it is amazing to see how basic their understanding of these everyday programs are. The class is highly energetic and it is important to hold their attention so that they don't miss any important information that they will need when stepping into class projects.
In this unit, I am introducing the art form of cinematography and begin by teaching students the basics of what makes a well-framed shot. I am implementing the strategy of Identifying Similarities and Differences by showing the students a range of different example clips. I will continue to allow time after each clips for students to point out the similarities and differences that they are seeing in these clips. Note that some of these examples will be beautiful shots, while others will be proof of what not to do.
Learning Goal Specification:
EALR 2. Visual Arts: The student uses the artistic processes of creating, performing/presenting, and responding to demonstrate thinking skills in visual arts.
GLE 2.3.1 Applies a responding process to visual arts.
Supportive Description:
This class has already learned about Office Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe Photoshop. The students have been given many opportunities to express their unique perspectives by applying their growing knowledge and skills of these programs. Since the art of cinematography is quite different compared to the tangible programs that they have previously learned, this will be a concept that they will need to grasp that they can then put into practice. The strategy of Identifying Similarities and Differences is an excellent approach in this situation because it will help students better understand this new concept of being a good cinematographer. Dean et al (2012) states, "These strategies help move students from existing knowledge to new knowledge, concrete to abstract, and separate to connected ideas" (p. 119). Students will not only learn the main components of cinematography, but also how to create a good shot.
Outcomes Predicted:
The strategy of Identifying Similarities and Differences was actually applied in the context described above and did indeed have positive effects. I had the students watch a various amount of clips that not only showed styles of cinematography but also shots that were poorly executed. I utilized the white board and had students tell me what shots were similar and which ones were different. We then branched out from these similarities and differences and discussed the attributes that these clips did or did not have in common. Students discussed a variety of components such as close up dialogue shots that were framed well compared to scenes that had a tilted camera to create the effect of unease.
The students were also able to pick out the shots that were examples of what not to do. I was actually surprised by how easily students were able to recognize these and I think it is because students are very exposed to professionally made movies and television and naturally expect a certain look. I found that they could see that something was wrong, but could not fully express why because we had yet to introduce all of the proper academic language for cinematography. This provided an opportunity for me to guide the students through a series of questions that helped them discover the specific aspects of these poorly framed shots that had a negative effect on the end product. Students were then able to move into their first video assignment with an understanding of what to do and what not to do. In conclusion, the strategy of Identifying Similarities and Differences was an impactful approach in this junior high technology class because it gave students a context for the newly introduced skill of cinematography.
- Powerpoint Example: This is the Powerpoint presentation that I used to first introduce students to the concept of cinematography. It starts with some key terms and then ends at the segment where I showed cinematography examples for students to identify similarities and differences.
- Strategy 2 Sample Lesson: View this sample lesson plan from my cinematography unit to see how I planned to implement the strategy of Identifying Similarities and Differences in this context.

I sent my husband an email and then realized it should be a blog post.
I joined a Yahoo group for unschoolers pretty soon after we moved. Not that I know what that means, but I wanted to learn. I'm one of those weird products of public school that loves learning. Go figure!
Anyway, a blog that I had been avoiding because I knew I would get hooked on it sucked me into its web today. Jessica, formerly Very Mom and Kerflop, has a new blog about her homeschooling/unschooling adventure called Balancing Everything.
None of the posts are long. These two I found especially fascinating since I am someone who also wants to take the plunge.
This one talks about her LDS-based reasons for homeschooling. While I am not of that religious persuasion I still think it is worth reading for parents whose children fall under the category of Special Education. Don't forget that "gifted and talented" students are part of Special Ed (at least that's what they called us in the 70's and 80's).
There is a post that gave me a new perspective on public school, mostly because that was not my experience. And that may very well be because I was part of the whole Gifted thing. Huh, just dawned on me that I was not mainstreamed for English and Math from second grade on.
Two more posts reminded me of me. One of my laziness and the other of how I'm trying so hard not to post things that will let scary people do bad things to us.
Then she gets to the hopeful part and the beginning of a plan.
Proof they are learning!
There's more, but not much as of yet. But I'm really inspired. And that's why I wanted to share. Now go read!

Happy Early Mother's Day to the Congresswoman from Washington State
Here is this year's message and, just because it touched my heart, here is last year's introduction of her son, Cole. He's really grown!
Of to go cry more, because it's so good that this caucus exists and because I wish my son was talking that much.

Glow In The Woods
I've pondered what to write other than, "Go read. Bear witness. Say their children's names. Learn how to be a help instead of making them feel invisible." Really that should be enough. You should go. But instead I've been pondering why it is so important to me. Why do I feel so drawn to this group?
Two things came to me this afternoon:
Two things came to me this afternoon:
- My dad's aunt and uncle, who raised him and his brother, had a son of their own who died of SIDS. As the story goes, one Easter morning they got up and the baby was blue.
- My mom's mom either had one or two babies before my eldest uncle (depends on who is telling the story). As it is there is an 18-year gap between the oldest and the youngest of my aunts/uncles. If the first baby had lived there would have been 20 years.

We seemed to be busy most of the day but on reflection not much appears to have been achieved.
It all started to go wrong after Jan finished the laundry. No sooner had the washing machine finished and we discovered there was no 240V. "Look for the simple thing first!" I checked the RCD and the MCB's in the consumer unit and they were all OK. Working back from the consumer unit I discovered the 240V inverter supply was only delivering 60V. Something is obviously wrong with the inverter. It has defeated me for the moment! However the lack of 240V raised another problem. Youngest son needs his laptop to be regularly recharged as he works remotely via the internet. Consequentially attention switched from fault finding the inverter to seeking an alternative 240V source.
We walked into Rugby and confirmed he could access mains power at the library. Then I had one of my brilliant ideas and suggested we buy a small 12V to 240V inverter from Maplin. The local store had a selection of different sizes which was fortunate because Daniel didn't know the power consumption of his MacBook (yes..he is an Apple man…YUK). We don't have that problem because I had made a 12V to 19.2V converter for the Asus laptop last year. After some research he selected a £29.99 150 Watt inverter which has proven to be a success.
After this unforeseen distraction it was time to return to the planned tasks, the first of which was to continue with the cleaning and repainting of the engine compartment. A short trip to Homebase resulted in the purchase of a small rotary wire brush for the battery powered drill. Back at Waiouru and almost ready to enter the garden shed when I realised the drill battery was flat. I need to recharge it on the240V (There's a hole in the bucket…). Plan B – polish the boat. Hang on… it's a 240V polisher. Plan C – service the Kipor generator. Out comes the Kipor from storage and drain the old oil into a plastic container. The oil looks new! Probably not surprising given the limited number of hours the Kipor has run in the last 14 months. Still, you can't judge the quality of oil by its appearance. On finding the new oil container it's apparent there isn't sufficient oil to complete the exchange. Off to Halfords for another container. Back at the boat and the Kipor has now been serviced. Time to stow it. But wait…. Before I return it to the locker it might be prudent to check the bow bilge pump is clean and working. Oh, the bilge pump doesn't work.
Photo of the cratch bilge after it had been cleaned of rubbish.
The pump automatic float switch worked but not the manual over-ride. Some fault finding is required. First task was to connect the laptop to the Empirbus system and monitor whether the bilge switch was working.
The new "Empirbus dongle" which connects the laptop to the boat
The switch was working, so the next step is to check there is 12V at the node.
OK… there is 12V at the node terminals. The problem must be in the wiring between the node and the bilge pump.
And there is the problem. One terminal has parted.
A simple task of servicing the generator has taken several hours. I'm getting tired!
I tried to hide in the bedroom and have a nap (as we oldies do!). Jan told me the water pump was making an unusual intermittent noise. Just another piece of equipment to check! Actually the water pump is an essential piece of equipment and we don't have a replacement. Consequentially another hour was spent on the internet searching for a backup pump (unsuccessfully)!
The last task for the day was to wire in the power supply for the new wireless TV headphones. My hearing is shot and Jan doesn't like the TV volume up high. The solution is for me to wear the headphones. Despite appearances, I wasn't silly and purchased headphones with a 240-12V power supply. It was just a case of cutting the power pack off the power supply cable and wiring the system directly into the boat 12V system. The Empirbus configuration file was then modified to ensure there is power to the headphones when the TV amplifier is turned on. Much easier to modify the system using the keyboard that physically alter the boat wiring.
The transmitter sits behind the TV where it is out of sight.
The "to do" list doesn't seem to be getting any shorter!

Having a baby can be stressful enough as it is, but parents of premature babies often have even more to worry about. Preemies are susceptible to many health problems after birth that can affect them in long-term ways, and they sometimes need to stay in the hospital for extended periods of time, often in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
These babies and their parents need all the comfort they can get, which is why diaper brand Huggies just launched Huggies Little Snugglers Nano Preemie Diapers — a new diaper line for prematurely born babies weighing as little as two pounds.
Fewer than 1.4 percent of babies born each year are this small, according to a press release for the diapers. However, the team at Huggies wanted to make sure they could offer these babies a safe, comfortable option. After all, diapers are often the only clothing that touches preemie baby's skin. Diapers that are too large can irritate premature babies fragile, underdeveloped skin. Huggies has just eliminated this issue, easing some of both the babies and their parents concerns.
"We're passionate about helping all babies thrive, especially the smallest and most fragile. This Huggies diaper reflects our ongoing commitment to deliver innovative solutions for the NICU," Eleonora Daireaux, vice president at Huggies North America, said in the press release. "After hearing of the need for a diaper that meets the special requirements of these babies, our expert teams in skin science, research, product safety and manufacturing were inspired. Knowing every second counts for these babies, the team acted quickly to bring Huggies Little Snugglers Nano Preemie Diapers from concept to launch in hospitals in just six months."
The tiny diapers have specially-sized fasters and a narrow, absorbent pad that provides a flexible fit for the baby. This makes it possible for the preemie to be comfortably positioned in a fetal tuck, with his or her arms and legs close to the body, according to the press release.
Huggies worked with NICU nurses across the country to develop the diapers. Each diaper is individually hand inspected by a Huggies' staff member before it goes into the box it's packaged in.
"Good-fitting diapers are important to the healthy growth and development of our smallest patients," Anjanette Lee, MS, CCC/SLP, NTMTC, an infant development specialist at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital in Houston, Texas, said in the press release. "In our experience, we found Huggies Little Snugglers Nano Preemie Diapers conformed to the baby's bottom without gapping or limiting leg movement. The thinner fasteners and less material at the waist provided a good fit for baby while still protecting their fragile skin."
These diapers join a line of products that have been specially designed for babies in the NICU, including "micro" and "little" sized diapers as well as wipes that were developed specifically for premature baby skin.

Lots of sections but when they all link up, with the biggest NE swells, it's a beauty! Stay a full day; the local 'soba' house is one of the best places for a hot meal.

My wife found this image a couple of weeks ago on Facebook and asked what the bastard had to say about it. Always being one for replying to things in a timely manner, here is my short and sweet answer:
I think the headline says it all, I would not be caught dead in such a contraption. It's inanely ridiculous that he needs to inconvenience himself publicly in such a manner in front of all their friends.
How low can one stoop in trying to live up to some ableist norm? Apparently low enough to hang from the ceiling like some crippled Pinoccio at one's own wedding.
I am pretty sure if my wife saw me hanging like that she'd get all excited and think it was some new kinky game I had invented. And in that case I would find it rather inappropriate in front of our wedding guests.

Chad Ocho-Cinco not only hurt his team on Thursday night with taking a trip to sleepyland during a team meeting, he also hurt his pocket book as well. Ocho was fined for his incident that cost him playing in Thursday night's game against the Steelers, a game in which the Bengals lost 27-10. Chad was not actually suspended for the game, just deactivated, meaning that he still gets his check of $176,470.58, which is what the fine will get taken out of.
For now, Ocho-Cinco is back with the team, and other than the fine and the fact he didn't play in the game, no other action will be taken. Needless to say, Chad likely won't be back with the team after the 08 season for a variety of reasons.

The IPO market for venture-backed companies is off to a much stronger start than last year, which didn't really get going until the second quarter.
There were 36 initial public offerings in the first three months of this year compared with eight a year ago, according to data from Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association. It was the strongest quarter for IPOs since the third quarter of 2000.

Open a celebrity magazine and you'll often see the likes of Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Beyonce and countless other superstars getting around on trusty two wheels.
Bikes have been synonymous with Hollywood for years – some of the most memorable images of Audrey Hepburn involve her riding around with Mr Famous, her Yorkshire Terrier, in the bike basket.
Classy, stylish, chic.
So it's little surprise, really, that XDS has drawn on the celebrity world for inspiration behind the Hollywood range.
Get your own XDS Hollywood here
If you want a touch of retro with your two wheels, but you don't want to feel like you're riding an old-school relic, then you'll want to give the Hollywood range a trial spin. Here's what we love:
Surestop Brakes – this is a reliable, safe and easy way to stop your bike in its tracks. Surestop enables the rider to squeeze a single handlebar lever, which immediately engages the back brake. What's interesting is what happens next; the back brake then automatically begins to engage the front brake. It makes the whole braking process fluid, simple and safer. You know that sensation of stopping suddenly and feeling like you're about to go over the handlebars? This is one sure way of hopefully avoiding that!
Colours – Hollywood stylists would be proud; the range comes in seven fresh, fashion-forward colours that are going to look great out and about. Speaking about appearances, the front and rear mudguards are going to come in handy for those riders who dare to venture out in anything less than fair weather (but don't want to finish the journey looking like they've been dragged through a puddle).
Carrying capacity – a basket at the front, a rear rack; plenty of carrying options for getting the groceries back home, taking the laptop and lunch to work, or picking up the weekend papers and loaf of bread.
Alloy or steel – get the same look, but choose the frame material that's right for you.
Just one thing – the XDS Hollywood doesn't come with a flock of paparazzi!

SPOKANE, Wash. – Four goals in the first half propelled the Whitworth Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Walla Walla Wolves Friday evening.
Four different Pirates (1-3-1) scored in the team's first victory of the year, while the Wolves (0-3) lost their third straight match to begin the season.
Whitworth started the scoring early. Britton Clifford got free for a shot that Walla Walla goalkeeper Josiah Nakoa dove to stop. Christian Haas pounced on the rebound and buried his first goal of the season and the Bucs' first in three matches.
Daniel Alvarez didn't waste any time getting Whitworth its second goal of the match. The sophomore midfielder headed home a free kick from Zanskar Blair just six minutes after the first goal.
Whitworth's defense played its role in the early minutes as well, maintaining possession and not allowing the Wolves to take a shot on goal for the match's first 20 minutes. Zachary Christensen took the first shot, which Alex Pells saved easily.
Drew Williams continued the Pirates' first half scoring barrage with two goals in 52 seconds. Williams scored his first goal on a breakaway after a long throw-in from Blake Miller and netted his second after a through ball from Azzam Azzam gave Williams a 1-on-1 chance with the keeper.
Carlos Cantu got the Wolves on the scoreboard right before halftime. Cantu snuck a pass through the Pirate defense and it got by Pells to put the Wolves on the board.
The Pirate offense kept the pressure on early in the second half. Drew Wilson scored the half's only goal, his first in a Whitworth uniform. The freshman took in through ball from Ethan Kem and threaded his way into the box before finishing the final goal of the contest.
The Bucs finished the match with a 18 more shots than the Wolves and 8 more shots on goal. Whitworth was also called offsides 12 times.
Up next, Whitworth travels to Helena, Mont. to take on Carroll College on Sunday, Sept. 9. The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:30 p.m.

LONDON — Swipe Films has acquired the U.K. and Irish distribution rights from BAC Films Intl. to Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf's "The President," which opened the Horizons section at last year's Venice Film Festival.
"The President" was shot in Georgia and tells the story of a revolution and the collapse of a dictatorship. It is inspired by the various uprisings that have taken place in the Middle East in recent years.
"It is a modern fable about power, reconciliation, and the hope for breaking a never-ending cycle of violence, exploring the possibility of stopping the violence after a revolution in search of freedom and democracy," Makhmalbaf said.
In a village in the Caucasus, the President of the country is on the run with his five-year-old grandson following a coup d'etat. The two travel across the lands that the President once governed. Now, disguised as a street musician to avoid being recognized, the former dictator comes into contact with his people, and gets to know them from a different point of view.
"The President" won best film at the Chicago Film Festival, and the audience awards at Tokyo FILMeX and the Beirut Film Festival.
Popular on Variety
Makhmalbaf, who lives in exile in London and Paris, spent five years in prison in Tehran as a teenager after he was shot by a policeman while protesting against the dictatorship of the Shah of Iran.
As an innovative marketing move, Swipe is offering 100 presidents of leading U.K. organizations discounted tickets to the film on its opening weekend.
Swipe deployed a similar cross-promotional strategy on Bordeaux-set movie "You Will Be My Son," starring Niels Arestrup. It had a seven-month long run in cinemas, perhaps helped initially by a marketing campaign offering a free glass of vintage Bordeaux to cinema-goers.
The film's producers are Mohsen's son, Maysam Makhmalbaf, Mike Downey, Sam Taylor and Vladimer Katcharava. Mohsen Makhmalbaf wrote the script with his wife, Marziyeh Meshkiny, and the film is edited by his daughter, Hana Makhmalbaf. The co-producing partners are Makhmalbaf Film House, 20 Steps, F&ME and Bruemmer and Herzog Filmproduktion.
The deal was negotiated by Frank Mannion of Swipe Films and Clementine Hugot on behalf of BAC Films Intl. The film will be released on August 21.

Around the World Voyage Launched from Monaco
Yesterday, HSH Prince Albert II was on hand to see off 30-year-old sailor Alexia Barrier who left the port of Monaco to start a voyage around the world, on her own, to benefit her project called "4myPlanet". The intended purpose of the voyage is to raise money for research and technology to combat global warming/climate change. The Sovereign Prince met with Barrier and her family, gave her an Albert II Foundation cap before seeing her on her way to circumnavigate the globe for the cause of the environment. Today the Sovereign Prince was in southern France to help promote advances in the use of nuclear energy and recent advances in that area. Evidently the record cold temperatures of much of the world have not dampened the Prince's devotion to combating global warming.

I recently have had the itch to build a small PC that can fit in my entertainment center. This is mainly so I can play games that require wired controllers without having to provide 30ft long USB extension cords to my main desktop. To fit this need, I considered getting an Intel NUC based on the new Apollo Lake Atom processor, but ultimately I decided on an HP Pro 6200 SFF PC. The Intel NUC in the cheapest configuration isn't well suited for all of my current needs. I would have needed a NUC with an i5 or better for decent performance in more graphically demanding applications.
I bought the HP from eBay for a small $30! The original purchase from eBay included an Intel i3 2100 clocked at 3.10GHz and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. I just had to purchase a hard drive separately and then the computer was ready to use! This was an incredible deal which I couldn't pass up. After receiving the PC, I installed my 1TB HDD, upgraded the CPU to an Intel i5 2500 clocked at 3.30GHz, and installed an ASUS NVIDIA GT 1030 2GB low profile GPU. In total, the build cost me about $150 which is just a little more than the Intel NUC I had originally considered.
I wanted the PC to be powerful enough emulate everything from Atari to Wii/PS2/PSP so getting the GT 1030 was a must. I didn't get great performance on the Intel HD 2000 alone. It is important to note that if you're going to do this yourself, you need to consider power consumption and that these OEM PCs don't have standard upgradeable ATX or ITX PSUs. The HP Pro 6200 has a 240W PSU which is below the NVIDIA recommended 300W for a GT 1030. However, I haven't had any issues where the PC struggles with power delivery. The specs for the GT 1030 indicate that the card draws around 30W and my i5 draws around 95W. This leaves ~100W for the other components which should be sufficient. Because the GT 1030 is a low power card, it is also important to mention that it will only run at PCI Express x4 speeds, but this is plenty for light gaming, emulators, and video streaming. If you need full x16 speeds, you should consider building a mini ITX PC or micro ATX PC instead.
The advantage to going the route of old OEM PCs instead of starting from scratch is that you have less costs to get a base PC up and running. To build a similar configuration from scratch, it would easily cost 2-3 times as much, but you do have more options on CPU/mobo than OEM.
I still maintain my primary desktop PC for gaming/work that requires a beefier GPU, but this is a nice secondary PC that fits my needs for multimedia within my entertainment center. I will be creating some captures from the HP soon demonstrating performance of this build in terms of light gaming, Steam in-home streaming, emulators, and video streaming.

Chamonix has a bus system which runs up and down the Valley and serves the various ski resorts and hiking areas. All lines pass by the Chamonix Sud Bus Stop, make a circuit in Chamonix and then connect the town with other 4 communes: Les Houches, Servoz, Argentiere, Vallorcine.
The base fleet, which operates all year round, is made up of two electric shuttle buses, six Euro 6 standard vehicles and six hybrid buses. A third electric shuttle bus was acquired in 2018. A 100% electric 12m standard vehicle was tested in real operating conditions at the end of this winter, with a view to the official delivery of a vehicle of this type in 2020.
There is a year-round service and a winter season service. In high season, there is rarely a waiting time longer than 20 minutes. Normally heavy snowfall is not a problem for the buses, as they are well equipped. On the other hand, when it snows a lot in Chamonix the roads can get pretty messy for cars, some of which may be lacking the proper equipment, and the high volume of cars raises the pollution levels, so leave your car at home and take advantage of this free bus service.
Annual lines:
- Line 1 - the bus runs every 30 minutes all year round, every day from 6:30 am to 8:00 pm, except for Sundays and holidays during off-season, when there will be 1 bus each hour.
- Line 2 - the bus runs every 30 minutes, every day from 6:30 am to 8:00 pm, except for Sundays and holidays during off-season, when there will be 1 bus each hour.
- Line 3 serve the route Chamonix-Servoz, every day, three times per day, adapted to school hours.
- The Servoz shuttle runs everyday from 7:00am to 7:04pm.
- Le Mulet runs everyday, from 8am to 7:15pm, every 10 minutes.
- The "Chamo'Nuit" line runs 4 services per evening, between 8:50pm to midnight, both in winter and in summer. It is possible to take this bus in off-season, but reservation is required. Do not hesitate to call 04 50 53 05 55 until 4 pm to book your trip for the next day. In high season, no reservation is required.

The day-long farewell at Pastazza's yesterday was certainly an event of mixed emotions. After almost three decades of the Bermans restauranteering local foods (and most astoundingly, in the case of their Innisfree restaurant, with its offering of owner-grown nourishing foods), the uncompromising and tasty kitchen is finally closed. Business was booming in the past month (leading up to the closing) as loyal customers scrambled for their last chance at the hand-made pastas and pizzas and other fabulous dishes.
If Fred and Lynn had seen just 25% of the business this past month, over the past year, Pastazza's would still be open. For sure, there were some loyal customers and utterly loyal staff -- Anne, the faithful pasta maker, 25 years; Sue, pastry chef and office manager, 19 years; Andy, lead dinner chef, 14 years; Mike, lead lunch chef and chief of ordering, 14 years; Ken, 7 years; Ambyr & Melissa, 6 years; Brendan & Rachel, 4 years, as well as the remainder of our staff, Carrie, Caitlin, Lexee, Walter, Travis, Sam, Ginny and Oleg serving from 2 years to several months. What other restaurant can boast such long-time staff -- truly committed to local fare and business?
Please, let's remember: Buy Local or Bye-Bye Local
Please, let's remember: Buy Local or Bye-Bye Local
(an expression that Fred himself coined, during his long tenure with Bellingham's Sustainable Connections).
From an earlier e-mail notice sent by Lynn and Fred Berman: It is with with very mixed emotions that we announce our retirement on November 28th. Beginning with Innisfree in Glacier, followed with Pastázza in Barkley Village, and Pizzázza & Book Fare in Fairhaven, we've been privileged to serve you and to be a part of the local restaurant community. Pastázza has been an integral part of our lives with you, our customers, who are like family that we look forward to welcoming into our 'home'.
Fred continues his hard work with WSDA, ensuring that farms of all scales have a chance to prosper. Were that only true for homegrown restaurants as well.

You can have fun on a budget
Many couples have stress with their finances and struggle to keep the marriage secure.
A marriage needs to be nurtured, similar to growing a flower. It needs sunlight, water, nutrients from the soil, and time to grow.
A few years back, my husband was in school and I was starting my therapy practice. We didn't have much money at the time, yet wanted to keep the relationship strong and connected.
We started a game called $20 Date Night.
We scheduled every Friday night as date night and took turns switching off creating the date. The goal was to create a date night by only spending $20. To our surprise, we came up with many dates for $20 or less; it just took imagination and creativity.
Date night is a relationship necessity and should be a priority … just like giving a plant its water and sunlight on a regular basis. Don't let the lack of money get in the way of your relationship. I encourage you to take the challenge and create your $20 date night!
Here are a few ideas for creating a $20 or less date night. Take the challenge and create your own date … I dare you!!!
- Dinner for two: Find a local restaurant that provides a happy hour menu. Order several appetizers to share. Many restaurants have large portions and the two of you can be satisfied with just a few items.
- Tiki Torches: Why spend money if you can have your date in your own back yard? Spend a few dollars on tiki torches and create a romantic ambiance without spending much money. Dinner outside and focusing on one another is a great way to nurture your relationship without hurting the bank account. Plus you don't have to pay for babysitting!
- Sunset and Sandwiches: Take the time to watch a beautiful sunset while eating gourmet sandwiches from your local deli. Cuddle up with a blanket and enjoy the view!
- Picnic at the Park: Nice weather, homemade food, and a cozy blanket can make the best date out at the park. The relaxing atmosphere and a place to focus on one another. Bring along a deck of cards or a
- Bonfire Dinners: Here in San Diego there are many different beaches where you can have a bonfire. If you have the luxury of a bonfire pit, take your partner out and have dinner and s'mores around the fire.
- Open-mic Night: Many coffee shops do an open microphone night for musicians, comedians, etc. Be adventurous and hit a coffee shop near you. The price of a latte and sugary scone might just hit the spot!
- Matinee Movie: Dates don't have to be during the evening … matinee movies are great cost-savers and still allow you time together as a couple. Snuggle up and enjoy the movie.
- Movie and Snacks: Avoid the uncomfortable cuddling in a movie theatre and have a movie night at home. Spread out your favorite snack items, such as cheese, crackers, veggies, etc.
Share your $20 date night ideas with us!

Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich 1 minute later
We work in the health centre and there is a smell coming into our side car park from either the Chinese takeaway or the pub. The smell is so foul that our staff are unable to park their cars as the smell is unbearable. There have already been rodents spotted in the area. Please can somebody visit the site to tell them or even find out why the rubbish is accumulating? Is the building vacant? And nobody taking out the rubbish? It's a serious environmental issue please.

Before you started please read those important notes:
Important notes for carport installation
Step 1
- Dig holes and pre-bury the post according to the space and the installation height of the design drawing. The pre-burying size: 60cm*60cm*60cm
Each post must be vertical when you are pre-burying the post.
The vertical planes among posts must be parallel to each other.
The height of the two posts should be totally the same. (The post which is close to the drainpipe can be 1 centimeter lower.)
Step 2
- Insert the steel elbow into the post and the crossbeam profile respectively and use M8 screws to fix them.
- Fasten the securing fittings of the front beam and the back beam to the elbow and the front end of the crossbeam respectively. (In corresponding M4 screw holes)
Don't tighten the screws that are on the posts and the crossbeams in order to facilitate the following installation.
Step 3
- Put two M8 screws in the screw grooves of the front beam and the back beam respectively.
- Place the front beam and the back beam outside the corresponding securing fittings respectively. Put the bayonets of the securing fittings into the screw grooves.
- Slide the M8 screw which is put in beforehand into the bayonet of the securing fitting and use the nut (including the plain washer and the spring washer) to fix them.
After finishing the installation, the crossbeams, the front beam and the back beam must form a rectangle.
The front beam and the back beam must be halved.
Step 4
- Use corresponding plastic fittings to connect the left and right jamb with the front and back beam respectively, and reinforce the bottom of the plastic fittings with tapping screws.
Pay attention to the curve direction of the left and right jamb.
Step 5
- Use tapping screws to fix the middle beams in the corresponding holes which are on the corresponding jambs.
- Place the middle beams on the corresponding screw holes of the crossbeams and fasten them with tapping screws.
Each middle beam should be placed in the same direction.
Step 6
- Firstly, put the pad strips in the corresponding bayonets which are on the middle beams. And then use tapping screws to fix them to the front, back and middle beams respectively.
- Spread the PC boards out on each pad strip, inserting them under the adhesive tape of the front beam and in the plug-in pieces of the back beam respectively.
- Use battens and plate-pressing screws to fix each piece of PC board to pad strips in turn.
When you are fastening the plate-pressing screws, the torsion of the hand drill should be lowered to prevent the screws from being stripped.
If few screws are stripped, you must add another screw besides the original screw to fasten it.
Step 7
- Use the drill of ø 35 to make holes under the back beam according to the actual requirement(When you are making holes, the center of the drilling bit should be aimed at the hollow strops which are under the back beam.)
- Assemble the plastic fittings of the drainage system according to the picture, of which the funnel should be fastened to the position where the hole is made on the back beam with the tapping screw. (Water-proof structural adhesive should be applied to the contact surface of the funnel and the back beam in advance.)
- Fix the U-shaped internal fasteners of the water pipe to the little openings corresponding to the posts, and then reinforce the two sides with the tapping screw after putting the water pipe in the U-shaped internal fasteners vertically.
During assembling the plastic fittings of the drainage system, you need to add a tapping screw on each node to reinforce the drainage system.
Important data:
- UV resistance ability: It can effectively shelter more than 98% UV rays which protects the car from UV damages.
- Extreme temperature resistance : -40 degree to +120 degree
- High snow pressure resistance: 40cm thick snow.20cm ice snow.
- High wind pressure resistance: wind speed of 35m/s.

Transparency Market Research has released a new market report entitled "Magnetic Powder Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025" on to their report store.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2017 -- Magnetic powder is a fine powder containing pigment particles and mixture of iron particles This powder is capable of attracting ferrous material, hence used in various applications such as magnetic films, paints, printable substrate, fingerprinting, medical diagnostics, video tapes, fuel injectors, nano level fluid sealing, electronics, and bonded and permanent magnets. These powders are derived from three processes, viz. Water-atomized powder, gas-atomized powder, and naturally-mined magnetic powder. A few characteristic features of these powders include ability to glow under UV or black light, high corrosion resistance, less messy, easy to use, and reusable.
The global magnetic powder market can be segmented on the basis of color, form, and type. In terms of color, the magnetic powder market can be segmented into jet black, black, silver, gray, and white. Jet black type of magnetic powder provides excellent contrast and adherence. It is a popular magnetic powder available in the market. Its demand is estimated to rise significantly during the forecast period as it is used as coating on various surfaces such as polystyrene and aluminium. Furthermore, its usage in developing fresh fingerprints and shoe sole prints are also raising its demand in the market.
Browse Market Research Report @ http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/magnetic-powder-market.html
Black magnetic powder provides less adherence as compared to jet black; however, it provides high effectiveness, typically on un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and untextured surfaces. Silver magnetic powder also provides high adherence, typically on dark surfaces and possess a risk of smearing a print, whereas gray magnetic powder possess low adherence and low smearing risk. White magnetic powder is typically employed on dark textured surfaces and is less sensitive than other powders. Magnetic powder are available either in amorphous and crystalline form. Demand for crystalline form is anticipated to rise significantly due its increasing applications in various end-use applications such as choke coils, powder inductors, printers, and reactors.
Rising demand for bonded and permanent magnets in the automotive and electronic industries is acting as a key driver for the global magnetic powder market. Magnetic powder, if employed during the manufacture of bonded or permanent magnets, provides high compaction and density properties. Additionally, it aids in lower ejection force requirement and springback, which further enhances the productivity of the magnet manufacturing process. Substitutes such as silk powder and aluminium powder, which are less expensive than magnetic powder, are likely to hamper the magnetic powder market during the forecast period. However, rising research activities in the field of hybrid magnetic powder are projected to generate significant opportunities for major manufacturers operating in the market.
Enter your information below to receive a sample copy of this report @ http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=B&rep_id=28259
In terms of geography, the global magnetic powder can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The U.S., and China, are the leading producer of magnetic powder. However, the U.S. is a leading consumer of magnetic powder due to increasing demand for electric and lightweight vehicles in the country. China and India are rapid developing economies and the expanding electronic and automotive industries in both countries are fuelling the magnetic powder market. Rising investment, typically in the automotive sector, in Latin America is also boosting the magnetic powder market. Middle East & Africa is a leading region in importing automobiles. Strong government initiatives to develop the automotive sector and strong emphasis on domestic automotive manufacturers to increase their productivity are anticipated to boost the global magnetic powder market during the forecast period.
Key players operating in the global magnetic powder market include EPSON ATMIX CORPORATION, Sirchie, BVDA International BV, and Reade International Corp.

Mancala for Trev and I.
He wiped the floor with me, one game.
But I rallied, the next.
Have you read my post from yesterday?
Do we live parallel lives?
I'm off to check out that Somebody game ;)
We have been playing so many of the same games. Mancala and Rat a Tat cat are always favorites. I have Exago out in the garage waiting for a time to appear, but lately we have been too busy with other games. I love that wooden sudoko set.ReplyDelete
Proud Mama - I love it, too. The Sudoku game was mine. I thought I'd introduce it to Trev, but I ended up playing the whole game, myself. :) Maybe today!
JeanLove - mmhmm. We've watched like sixty MSB episodes in the last few days, so we're all about the body, space, compost, habitats.... I surely do love Magic School Bus.
(And am so happy that Maddie loves it as much as Trev used to. He likes it well-ly, of course... but is outgrowing it, now. But not me!!)
Spore....is it a good game? Bearing in mind how much OGJP is played round these parts, I am thinking this would be a wise investment. Hve you tried Age of Empires? I like it because you can use diplomacy and trade, war isn't the only option.ReplyDelete
Kelly - mine like it. Maddie has just recently -in the last few days- started playing it, also.
It's also one of the favorites for friends to play, when they're over.
We haven't played Age of Empires! Sounds interesting... I'll check it out.
It's not like JPOG or ZooTycoon, it's an evolution game... sort of frustrating on the dino front, as you can't customize exactly how you like, but rather pick and alter from a list, but still, it's a hit around here.
Start as a spore, and evolve to tribes and village, and into ships and galactic, if you have Galactic Spore (an add-on) which we do.
Declan LOVED Age of Empires and Age of Mythology. That was huge at our house for a looong time.
I am going to look for Magic School Bus right now...
We have Age of Mythology (I bought it about a year ago), but so far, Trev's not too interested, even though he loves mythological creatures, and they're something we frequently check out at the library.
Our Magic School Bus vids are on tape... several years ago TLC had them on early in the a.m., and I"d get up verrra early to record them. So I have several dozen episodes. Like sixty-plus. :) (Something I shouldn't admit to very loudly, but there you have it.)
In that third picture of Maddie with her kitty-cat face (so adorable btw) she looks like her great-Grandma to me. Though she would never have allowed a kitty-cat face...you know how she loved cats...not. :)ReplyDelete
I love reading your posts as I always find new and exciting games and what not to check out.
We went through a MSB phase when Emma was 3. We were stunned that she would sit through an entire episode and actually seem to absorb the info. I kinda wish she would get back into them, the hubby and I miss them... Might have to see what the library has for MSB.
Love all the inspiration, thanks!
Where did you get the set of colourful wooden geometric shapes from? I love them :)
Oh Man! Set, pattern blocks and sudoku--you hit my big three! Looks like a delightful day. For the record, I never get tired of Ms. Frizzle either. Say, I have an idea . . . I'll email you.ReplyDelete
Rose - We got ours here, at Discount School Supply.ReplyDelete
loving your blog. Where do you get your interesting and important toys?? is SLC a great place to raise little ones???
glad i found your blog
