More like this plz.
Thai House Cafe (93 Clayton Street, NE1 5PZ) is another one of those indies that popped up almost overnight, and doesn't do any promotion, but sits there quietly, being really quite great. I thought it was definitely worth a shout out, as other bloggers coo over Chaophraya, and whoever else has the huge marketing budget. It's a bit sad that most people will "give Chaophraya a go" because of where it's located, but not even have heard about this place.
It's well, rustic inside – bare wooden pews, no decoration or gimmicks other than your trad Thai condiment covers. Absolutely zero frills. The sparkling lights of Chaophraya this is not – you'll more likely see the nana in the back clattering away at the wok and bashing all the herbs out. And playing the 'rustic' trump card – it's still cash payment only. It's actually a refreshing change from the clip of some of the places opening up in the last 12 months which are fancy first, and food as the footnote.
The menu is large, (I've gone to the liberty of including it at the bottom of the page as you'll not see it online) and spans Thailand and then some – curries, noodles, soups, and everything in between including, for the brave – chitterlings. Maybe next time.
To be honest, we often dodge starters (all £5.50) because main courses are large. But these prawn toasts were by some way the best I've had in Newcastle. So thick, crunchy and stacked with prawny lushness. Dipping sauces manage to be both a bit wet, and a bit gloopy, but I can let them off with that. Deep-fried crispy beef was extra-soft-but-chewy and super tasty, but maybe a bit of a tight serving which is weird as mains are really quite generous on the meat quotient. There's also ribs, tempura veg, or you can get your tom yum soup etc. as a smaller portion.
My favourite this evening was this phad ga paw rad shaw (£9.95). The staff will double-check that you can handle it "IT'S SPICY!" and indeed it did melt my face off, in a seriously good way. Really deceptively basic – it's just tasty as hell.
I've not got on well with pad thai in the past, but this one was a cracker as well. All the right bits present and correct, and balanced just so that you can't stop eating. I think it's about 8 quid, so you'll not see many better feeds than that. And where everything goes right here is Thai basil – love that stuff. It doesn't have that claggy feel that we found in similar-but-not-the-same Zaap Thai.
All the mains hover around a tenner – bit more for king prawns, and another £3 for rice or noodles. You don't need them, but a main with rice will fill you alright. This beef massaman had that classic Thai blend of sweet, sour, salty and spicy just right, though they (as with all 'proper' Thai places) can be a little heavy-handed with the fish sauce. Crispy bits in the form of peanuts and onions keep it interesting.
Red seafood curry was plentiful in gently poached squid and other bits as well as searing heat, and kept me full for the rest of the afternoon. If you're a relative Thai-newbie – and those menus can be somewhat imposing – start here with a creamy bowl of slurpy noodles and you'll not go wrong. Whether it's a green curry, jungle curry, or whatever else you fancy, they all start with a solid spice paste – the kind you can't be arsed with at home – but make all the difference.
Service does the job – with no fannying on, and again, a real focus on the food which makes a change.
We've never managed dessert or even seen the menu because those mains are whoppers, but it's all your usual thai stuff. There's now some Singha beer but that's it for alcohol, and no BYO option. But try the Thai lemonade for something a little different – it does help temper some of the heat ?
It's a doomed site, the home of several restaurants which come and go overnight without much warning, so make the most of it while you can. That said it seems to be popular most of the time, which is awesome, as Thai House Cafe is (for now) a bit of a hidden gem that Newcastle needs more of. Hooray for the decent Thai places!

While he was still living with his wife, and even after he unceremoniously turfed her out in the 1850s after their 10th baby was born, Charles Dickens and his children spent their summer holidays in Broadstairs, Kent.
High on the Broadstairs cliff top, overlooking Viking Bay, stands a tough-looking house. Originally built in 1801 and called Fort House, it was used as a coastal observation station. I can't tell if the first residents in Fort House were more interested in keeping an eye on the local smugglers or if their biggest concern was Napoleon's navy.
By the Dickens era, Fort House had became a perfectly normal residence with lovely rooms. The place was renamed Bleak House after Dickens' novel of the same name, written earlier when he was living in Tavistock House London. This was a case of real life copying art.
Luckily many of Dickens' artefacts, furniture, documents and letters can still be seen at the Dickens Museum, located at Dickens House on the seafront. Visitors can see, for example, a decent collection of prints by HK Browne (Phiz), one of Dickens's principal illustrators. And a writing box, a gift from Dickens' lifelong friend and biographer John Forster. This house had a slightly weaker connection to Dickens - it was here that Miss Mary Strong lived, the woman who became the model for Betsey Trotwood in David Copperfield. Did he personally visit Miss Strong in her home? I certainly hope so.
Dicken's House Museum, Broadstairs. exterior and one room with Dicken's artefacts
Some rooms in the museum deal with Victorian Broadstairs in general, rather than Dickens in particular. There are Victorian costumes, posters and photography of old Broadstairs on display. So it is appropriate that the museum should play a central role in the annual Dickens Festival each June. Locals and visitors are invited to dress-up in Victorian costumes, evoking an era when Broadstairs was a much loved holiday spot.

Have you ever seen the video of Kristen Bell freaking out over a sloth? Well, you should take a second to watch this video because it's fantastic.
Point being, I just had a meltdown of Kristen Bell VS. Sloth proportions. Why? Because I am now the proud owner of a Disney annual pass! I know lots of people go to Disney all the time. I mean, I was there only six months ago. But to have the ability to beep myself into the park whenever I want. Mind blown!
Those of you who have been around here a few times know that I am obsessed with Pluto. He's my friend, and I love him. I'm going to be working in Florida all winter, and now on my days off, I can go visit Pluto! Disney dancing lights at Christmas? I'm there! International food and wine fest? Why, yes please!
But the real meltdown came when I realized I could go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! (more…)

Lab tests often play a central role in what diagnosis a patient receives. These tests must be tracked and performed appropriately so that the doctors get proper information upon which to make a correct diagnosis. When the lab tests come back with incorrect information, the patients can suffer greatly.
It has recently come to light that labs often misdiagnose cancer in biopsies. No matter which way the error falls, the patient is going to be negatively impacted. A false positive could lead to unnecessary treatments and mental anguish. A false negative could lead to curable cancer advancing to a terminal state.
The patients who have to deal with these errors often want to know what went wrong. When the answer to that is that the lab mislabeled samples or entered results in the wrong patient's file, the question of how to prevent this from occurring again will often come up.
It might make some people livid to know that there is a way to significantly reduce these lab errors, but labs won't use the technology because it is costly. There is a DNA marker method that could mark samples based on the patient's DNA, but doing so costs around $300 per sample. This cost is too being noted as being too high to ensure patients get accurate results.
If you are injured by an error on a lab test, you might decide to use your energy to try to hold the lab accountable. Filing a lawsuit is one option that you have to do this. In fact, this might make the biggest statement. Additionally, it could help you to recover some of the money you've lost due to the error.

Happy Labor Day, Bitches!
Inspired by i09's post, "SciFi and Fantasy Ladies Pose as Rosie the Riveter for Labor Day," I decided to write a quick post about the celebrated World War II and feminist icon.
So, here are some of the 5 best facts I discovered about Rosie:
1. The Rosie the Riveter character first appeared in a song by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb, circa 1942. Here's a sampling of the lyrics:
2. The U.S. Government's campaign to bring women into the labor force targeted housewives; one advertisement said, "Can you use an electric mixer? If so, you can learn to operate a drill." But don't forget how that KitchenAid works. After the war, ladies were expected to return home...where they belonged (insert bitch-face here).
3. Rosie motivated countless women to assume jobs vacated by servicemen. From 1940 to 1945, the percentage of American women employed outside the home rose from 27% to almost 37%. The majority worked for aircraft and munitions companies.
4. On May 29, 1943, Norman Rockwell's illustration of Rosie the Riveter made the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. Nineteen year-old Mary Doyle, a telephone operator, served as his model. The image was so popular, the U.S. Treasury Department employed it for war bond drives.
5. J. Howard Miller's "We Can Do It!" poster is not Rosie the Riveter. It was commissioned by Westinghouse Electric Company for the war effort, circa 1942. Factory worker Geraldine Hoff, age 17, was the artist's model. The image only became associated with Rosie in the 1980s to promote feminism.

Dancing on my own
Hello, I haven't posted in a long time yet again. What happened was, well, quite a number of things. My favorite recent adventure involves Coron, Palawan. My good friends Hannah and Friday were with me and we met the most awesome people in Palawan. If you haven't been, you have to! Palawan is just lovely. I want to buy an island there (please universe, give me the capacity to! Haha) and put up a studio and artist friends can rent and we can organize summer music festivals! What say you? Anyway, some photos! (Some from my instagram, some from Hannah's phone!)

1. You can rent me by the day. Full planning services can set you back between $3,000 and $10,000. But if you can't afford to have someone do all your dirty work, you still have options, says Toronto wedding planner Rebecca Chan. Don't want to stress out on your big day? Hire a day-of coordinator. They will take care of the execution and any problems that may arise for about $800 to $1,600.
2. Vendors cut me deals. Well-established wedding planners have plenty of connections with vendors and industry professionals, and should be able to get you discounts and rebates on services, says Toronto industry veteran Lynzie Kent. For instance, Kent often recommends a videographer who gives her clients 10% off as a token of appreciation for her business. But watch out if your planner is charging a percentage of the money you spend rather than a flat fee, because they could be getting a kickback for working with certain vendors.
3. Winter weddings rock. Summer weddings are madly popular but if you're looking to save a couple thousand dollars in venue costs, winter and spring—really any time from November to April—are the way to go. No matter what the season, though, getting married on a Friday or Sunday will be slightly cheaper than on a Saturday, says Chan.
4. The venue makes me charge you more. Some event halls may charge corporate rates for in-house services like an A/V team, which can be significantly higher than what you'd find externally. If that's the case, you'd be better off asking a DJ to bring in a sound system at half the price.
5. Skimp on the flowers. A good planner knows how to make the most of your budget. Chan, for instance, likes flower arrangements to be versatile. There's no reason you can't also use the reception centerpiece florals to create a backdrop for the altar or to line the aisle during the wedding, she says. "That way your flowers are working double duty."

A recent review by the researchers in Prof. Tewfik Soulimane's group, Department of Chemical and Environmental Science has been featured on the cover of FEBS Letters.
This review entitled "Cation Diffusion Facilitator Family: Structure and Function" by Kolaj-Robin et al. summarized the group's current research and a mechanistic understanding into this membrane protein family. The Cation Diffusion Facilitators (CDFs) are an ubiquitous family of secondary transporters thought to play a key role in metal resistance and tolerance in all three kingdoms of life. CDFs in humans are crucial for metal sequestration and an imbalance in such processes is linked to Alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer. The group was also the first to identify a functional sub-group of CDFs lacking a canonical region (C-terminal cytoplasmic domain) that was previously thought to be requisite for their function. This identification has the potential to lead to structure-based drug design to combat microbial pathogens.

Alternative investments typically react differently to market events compared to stocks and bonds. This type of investments can provide diversification benefits to portfolios.
Alternative investments should be a part of any portfolio mainly because their returns have a low correlation with those of standard asset classes like cash, equities and bonds.

A campaign has to end somewhere. Redirect all the traffic across the marketing funnel towards lead generation landing pages that exude trust and promise.
Here's what we make sure of:
Whether its VeraSign, Norton, SiteLock, or Trust Guard – we have a badge in plain view to let the site visitor know that trust goes both ways. The site they are landing on will do its part in preserving the customer data, for the better. Some companies get badges that validate their product claims, such as the "Halal" stamp, Google Partners, or even the S&P rating system.
Keep it limited and to the point where applicable and use pointers or bullet points. See how we're taking our own brand journalism advice here? The headline should convey the value the reader will be rewarded with, the copy should focus on the promise and the bullet points should build up towards a grand finale of a form.
A/B test between long and short forms, but never go overboard with information requests. Offer something in return for filling out all the forms slots and use colour cues to remind the site visitor of items, as well as a (?) box to clarify what the box is asking for and clarify any misconceptions. The call to action should be clear and change colour has the form is being filled. This creates a sense of urgency, driving compulsion to fill and click send. Test out variations of what this CTA button will look like, sound like (when clicked), and whether or not it's colour will change in accordance with a form being filled or not. Ideas are wonderful, execution is everything. Pick the idea that wins the A/B test.
Well not really, but the landing page should offer no other route except the option to close the page or fill the form to reach the CTA. There's nothing wrong with that, it just informs you of the audience intent. Lead generation landing pages are weakened with off page navigation choices.
This is one of the most underrated components of lead generation landing pages. Depending on what the goal of your product or service is, we recommend experimenting with multiple options of the call to action copy. Sometimes the rationale to convert is subjective, other times objective. Non-profit organisations have found success experimenting and tip-toeing around conclusive terms such as "Contribute" instead of "Donate", experiencing a trifecta of conversions as a result. Conduct a mindmap of the words associated with the positive, tangible or intangible emotions around using your product or service, and experiment often.

Walking Away From a Challenge
The sun shines not on us but in us. - John Muir
A childhood friend and I were talking about the learning challenges we faced in elementary school. I, for one, was never great at math. It was an annoying stumbling block in elementary and high school, and I remember worry incessantly about not getting into university because of my grades. I even dropped an elective to take it a second time, hoping the averaging of both grades would bump me into the B- or (if I was lucky) B category. It didn't help that my grade 7 English teacher told me I wouldn't be more than a B student in the subject anyway. Some people need a lesson on how to deliver bad news lightly.
I felt frustrated by this learning challenge, and somewhat inadequate because I just couldn't ever really get it. I was OK at memorizing formulas for tests, and chemistry started to make sense if I studied hard enough, but by the time I started Physics in grade 11 I realized math related subjects just weren't for me.
What was I doing taking chemistry, physics, and math anyway, when I wasn't even good at it? Well, for one thing, I was told I needed to keep trying at it because that's what you do. Persistence is key! For better or worse, many of us are raised to believe that overcoming our learning challenges is one of the major keys to success.
As William Edward Hickson made famous the proverb:
"Tis a lesson you should heed:
Try, try, try again.
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try, try again."
While I feel there is no harm in defining success as overcoming our challenges, I do find it harmful when we persistently focus on our challenges and become stressed when we can't seem to overcome them. Sometimes, after hitting our heads against a brick wall for the hundredth time, is it not better to acknowledge that we can't overcome every learning challenge we face, and instead, start to focus more on our strengths?
In the article "What Teens Learn by Overcoming Challenges," on Psychology Today's website, Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell writes that when teens overcome obstacles, they learn initiative, "the ability to propel life forward in purposeful directions." My own reflections teach me that overcoming some challenges has been a great opportunity for learning and self-growth. Others, not so much.
Take for example my experience in graduate school. I finished my Masters degree and overcame the challenge of completing my research and coming up with a (somewhat) comprehensible report for my committee, Yet, I didn't find the experience of completing this challenge (and there were a lot of learning curves along the way) very significant to my personal growth, or find as an outcome, great success or initiative. Perhaps I was too burnt out to realize skills had been developed and life experiences gained. Personally, I felt it was anti-climatic and unrewarding.
In comparison, completing my diploma at George Brown College had quite the opposite effect. I graduated with a great sense of initiative and success, feeling enthusiastic, rewarded, and motivated. In completing this diploma, I did not have to overcome the same big learning challenge as I had while completing my Masters degree. Granted, the programs were different, and so were the demands. Yet, it really had nothing to do with the dynamics of each program, but more to do with me. While my contemporaries thrived in the Masters program, I hadn't. They had a skill set and personality suited for that kind of work. I didn't. While studying to become a career counsellor, I felt I had found my niche. The program enabled me to discover and develop strengths and abilities that weren't as applicable to my Masters program. Demonstrating these strengths through course work, work placements, and eventually work in the field fulfilled me in a way that overcoming learning challenges in my Masters program couldn't.
My question then, is this: if overcoming certain learning challenges won't lead to feelings of success or initiative, is it safe to say we can step away from the challenge and focus on our strengths and abilities that are more innately ours?
My experience has taught me it is not only OK to walk away from a challenge I didn't want to overcome (this being my PhD), it also welcomed opportunity and time for me to explore my other strengths. While I don't endorse walking away from every challenge that faces us, I do think that some of the challenges we face in life aren't always worth our time and energy.
Besides, how often do I use physics and chemistry in my daily life anyway? :)

Golf Charity Auctions
One great way to raise additional funds at your golf tournament is to host a golf charity auction. Golf charity auctions and charity golf tournaments have become popular and effective ways to raise fundraising dollars for your cause, especially with the use of golf tournament software. The combination of these two fundraisers can significantly increase your fundraising potential without creating double the amount of work of hosting two separate fundraising events.
Your organization can even include large ticket items, such as vacation packages, at no risk to your organization with our No Risk Auction Items.
Why Host a Golf Charity Auction?
- Hosting a Golf Charity Auction provides an opportunity for your organization to reach a larger audience. You can promote your auction website to people virtually anywhere (it does not have to include "local only" items). By including diverse golf auction items, you are offering something for everyone, not just golfers.
- A golf charity auction gives people who cannot attend the golf tournament an opportunity to contribute to your cause as they can view your auction website and purchase items before the tournament even starts (with Buy Now pricing).
- Since you are already promoting your charity golf tournament, promoting the golf auction takes little or no additional effort. Just include the auction website URL on promotional materials for your golf tournament, and include a link from your golf tournament website.
- Including a golf silent auction on-site at the actual golf tournament also enhances the party, giving people another fun thing to do while they are mingling with friends and co-workers.
Here's How Charity Auctions Work
Planning a Golf Tournament Auction – Finding Golf Charity Auction Items
The first thing you'll need to do for your golf charity auction is to solicit golf auction items from local businesses. Include some popular items that will attract serious bidding from people interested in golf, such as golf lessons from the club pro or a set of new irons. Also include items of interest to the general public such as spa services, electronic equipment, and restaurant gift certificates.
You will also likely want to include a few large ticket auction items. These may include vacation packages or travel experiences that will bring in larger bids and more donations for your organization. If you can put together a travel package of donated items, that would be great. But many organizations cannot do this – so don't limit yourself to donated items. GolfRegistrations offers premium vacation packages for use with golf charity auctions. These packages can auctioned off at no cost or risk to your organization. If your reserve is not met, the packages are not purchased and your organization is not on the hook for any fees.
Setting up your Golf Auction Website
A golf auction website allows for more detailed information about the purpose of your fundraiser, as well as more information about each item including: product images, starting bids, detailed product descriptions, item values, reserve amounts, bid increments, links to the donor's web page, optional Buy Now pricing and more. If conducting an online charity auction, we highly recommend sending an email invitation with a link to the web page, making it much easier for people to access. You can easily include this in your confirmation email to golf participants and dinner attendees, as well as invitations to community members, media and more. Be sure to invite them to share the link to the online auction, as this event can really be open to anyone.
DoJiggy has discontinued our Auction software service as of January 2016, but have recommended a charity auction software provider. Find more information about our recommended auction software provider and download a free trial.
Online to Live Auctions Are Key to Success
If you do choose to host a silent golf auction at the golf tournament event, we still recommend staring your auction online and then closing the auction at the actual event. If the golf charity auction begins online, people can start reading about the items up for bid, look at photos, and even choose Buy Now pricing if there's an item they must have. They can also forward the golf auction website link to someone else they think may be interested in bidding on an item. Then, on the day of the event, the organizer prints up bid sheets noting the value of the last online bid, and the bidding continues at the actual golf silent auction event. Make sure to have a volunteer monitor the table and answer any questions. Do a last call for bids at the banquet when everyone arrives to the post-tournament golf party. Then at the close of the event you can announce winners, collect payments, and disperse the merchandise.

Check-In & Out Procedures
The Children's and Youth Programs (CYP) Department utilizes an online software, Lambslist, as our information and attendance management system. Returning families are encouraged to review their information annually; update cards for each family are printed and available for review each Sunday. New families may register at a check-in station or click here to complete our online form.
Every Sunday, we ask you to first go to either the Family Room or the West Entrance to check-in your students and get an individualized nametag. On Sanctuary Sundays, generally the first Sunday of the month, additional stations will be located in the Garden Room and in the Foyer.
It is important to also check-out your child at the end of the service. This will help CYP to track and report attendance. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
On Sundays with a scheduled Spiritual Expressions hour (Noon-1:00 p.m.), students K-8th will be asked to select one of our offered classes at check-in. Class sizes are limited, so be sure to check-in as soon as you arrive.

Getting to Know the iPad
Yesterday, on my photo blog, I posted a photo of my Acer Netbook and the iPad, with excerpts of this post. I immediately received responses on Twitter, so I decided it's time to finish pulling this piece together and get on with it.
My school purchased a ten pack of iPads to be used in the classroom, and we received them just days before school was dismissed for summer vacation. I checked one out for the summer, and I have been trying to work with it as much as possible. A friend told me that I would fall in love with it the moment I touched it, and I want to love it, but I just don't yet. Frustration has prevented that from happening.
I love the ease of carrying it with me. It is thinner and even more lightweight than my little Acer netbooks, so it can easily slip into my bag. At this point in time, however, I still find my netbooks much easier to negotiate. The familiar is always easier, so I have forced myself to use the iPad, and through use, things are definitely getting easier. I still have some serious concerns, however, about its adaptability to the academic tasks I need it to do
For classroom projects, I often place shortcuts on the desktop to make things easier for the kids and myself. You can put shortcuts on the desktop with the iPad, and it appears that we could use it to write on our blogs at Kidblog.org. Some of the websites we like to use, however, like Storybird, require flash and do not work on the iPad. The Animotos on our class wiki do not show up or work, and neither do some videos, however I have discovered that if you use the app for Animoto, you can view an Animoto.
I am struggling with logistics of making the iPads work with our other available equipment. How do you print from iPad if you don't have a wireless printer? We have Pages installed on them, which is a word processing app, and I wrote most of this blogpost using the iPad. While this app does not have the number of options that more sophisticated word processing programs offer, my students would be unlikely to utilize those anyway. I was able to e-mail the document to myself in a word format, and then open and save it to one of my other computers, where I can print it. This isn't, however, an easy or practical way to handle documents written by 29 students. I'm also concerned that It does seem kind of sensitive, and I found myself ending up places that I hadn't intended. I am worried about students losing the work that they have spent time writing.
I thought that maybe using Google Docs would be a better idea, but I discovered that while you can open and view a Google doc, you cannot edit it or create a new one.
If I put a Word document in dropbox, will I be able to work on it on the iPad? I am excited that I can download an app for dropbox.com on it. That would enable me to make photos and other documents available for kids to use. But first I have to convince my school district to unblock dropbox.
I do think additional apps will add to the usability. Since it does not belong to me, I have to have permission to add apps and download books onto it. I am trying to select apps that support our academic goals. I am planning to add the following:
- Multiplication by Sierra Skyware, Inc
- Math Master by Tapware
- Math Quizzer
- School Notes Pro
- Textropolis
- Spell & Listen
- Popmath Basic Math by popsoft
- Monster Mix and Match, by Critical Matter
- Things for Ipad
You can read more about these apps by reading:

And thank you very much to Joe Fahs,( @Mpondo on Twitter) and other members of my PLN who shared these with me.
I do enjoy reading my Google Reader on the iPad, and if I had any good books downloaded to it, I'm sure I would enjoy that. One thing I can tell you. Even though I may have mixed feelings about the iPad, the kids will love it. Twice now I have had people approach me at Caribou Coffee, my favorite hangout, and ask about my iPad. I put it in the hands of a fifth grade girl who came over with her mom, and she absolutely lit up.
I'm writing at Caribou Coffee right now. When I was deciding which computer to bring with me, I settled on my Acer Netbook. I knew it would be easier to write, edit, and add photos and links. So I'm still not in love with the iPad. I'm having fun with it, and it's okay as a supplemental computer, but it certainly isn't the most versatile one that I own.
In the photo above, the design you see on the iPad was made using the Glow Doodle app. This is one that I know the kids will like.
The Kids Present Their StoryJumper Stories
Tuesday was our last full day of school, so that was the day for the kids to present and read their StoryJumper stories to the class. I wrote about writing with StoryJumper in an earlier post. I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. Everyone had been very excited and interested in creating these books, but there was also a lot of talking, which isn't surprising during the last three weeks of school. In fact, there was so much talking, that when I had checked on their progress about a week before, I was disappointed to see that most weren't very far along.
Each person presented and read their StoryJumper book out loud to the class using the digital presenter. By the time the first three kids had presented their book, I was on the phone calling my principal to see if she had time to come up to see what they had done. She is in our rooms frequently throughout the day, so she had been checking on their progress throughout the writing process.
Many of the kids were not finished, which is okay, because they can continue working on their books during the summer. Even so, they had pages of writing, with illustrations to enhance their story. My little authors really knocked my socks off. Their stories were interesting, with good plot lines. In fact they were interesting enough to hold the attention of the class while all 24 people presented. Our Special Ed teacher, with whom I collaborate, pointed out that if we had asked the kids to write a five hundred word story, they would have had a fit, but that's really what they did, and they had a ball doing it.
We decided that next year we will devote some time to letting the class explore the mechanics of creating illustrations using the backgrounds and props, before they actually begin their books. Creating their illustrations took much longer than I anticipated. At the risk of thwarting their creativity, we may also talk about how to select backgrounds and font size so that the pages can be more easily read.
I always do a lot of writing with my students, but this year we have definitely surpassed anything I have done before, and that is largely because of the technology that we have explored and utilized. We've written comments on our class wiki. We've used Wallwisher, Storybird, KidBlogs, and now StoryJumper. It has particularly made a difference for my struggling writers. Using the computer removes any roadblocks caused by the physical act of writing. It also makes reading their work so much easier. This was apparent when every single student, including those with writing IEPs were able to read their StoryJumper book aloud to the class. Is their writing perfect? Is every sentence capitalized and punctuated correctly? Are all words spelled right? No. But they are writing, and I couldn't be more please with their progress. We are definitely going to do this and more next year. I will be introducing blogging and digital story writing much earlier in the school year. Imagine what we can accomplish if we have all year to explore and grow!

In getting back to blogging regularly, I wrestled with whether or not I should post personal things on my blog. I did for a long time, then got away from it. Maybe it's based on my mood on how I'm feeling about mixing business and personal, but at the end of the day, this blog has documented a tremendous journey that bears great significance in my life and I hate that I've lost a lot of personal details along the way.
Five years ago, on January 12, 2012, I became a mother to my first born; a baby girl we named Carly Rae. The last five years have been incredible, straining, amazing, tiring, joyous, frustrating, and everything else you can imagine. She's the one we learn with first. The one we have all of our "firsts" with. This past year, she started VPK and it was hard to transition into letting her out of my site, much less leaving her a few miles away, but as I mentioned, she's the one we will experience all of these firsts with. Next year, she will start Kindergarten and before I know it, in the blink of an eye, she'll be all grown up.
So today, my sweet, beautiful, kind hearted girl, I wish you a very happy 5th birthday. May it be filled with joy, love, smiles, and powerpuff girls!

It's that time of year again. Time to bid farewell to the year that has been and to greet the new one with hope and optimistic appreciation. Time also to reflect a little on the year that is just about to pass and to maybe savour a few of the positive moments, while letting the more negative ones float away having learned all we can from them.
I do hope your year has been a good one. When I look back on mine, as reflected here on this blog, 2015 really has been pretty good to me. I start each year by listing some aims and aspirations - not to be confused with resolutions! - for the year to come, finding that it's interesting to look back at year-end to see what's been achieved, with no recriminations whatsoever for what is not. I like ticking off lists I guess!
Me being me I have somehow misplaced my written aims for 2015 - it's most likely in my 'safe place' along with all my other misplaced items! However I can remember some of them. For starters I achieved my recovery goal last April by being finally 'Over The Hill', eventually going on to getting back dancing again - even if it is Honky Tonk dancing! And while it may have taken the whole year I did get my version of a Healthy Eating Plan in place, finally reaching my much desired goal weight just before Christmas! Admittedly I kind of abandoned my regime over the last week or so but am pleasantly surprised to see, now that I'm back on track, that any 'damage' has been relatively minimal. Phew!
I'm also very pleased to have completed some knitting and crochet projects in 2015; most notably the crib featured below, which was some months in the making!
The Teen Wonder has had a great year with some fantastic achievements too I must say, and we're naturally very proud of him. He put in the work for his Junior Certificate getting great results, built his own PC from scratch and had some independence-building trips away without his Parents!
This year we've been very lucky to enjoy some lovely little trips away, including my Netflix prize-winner launch trip to London last March! Our trips this year were mostly in Ireland and I share some photos here highlighting some lovely scenic moments forever etched on our memories.
No year goes perfectly for everybody and there are always things concerning us and people we worry about, floating away in the backs of our minds. But we cherish the good and try to learn from the not so good.
Personally I have been very lucky to have mostly enjoyed this year 2015, and I do indeed look forward to 2016 with much hope and positivity. As usual I have some things noted to aim for; most notably to finally solve my penchant for losing things and to reconnect and meet up with friends more.
On a global level 2015 has brought some great hardships for people in this world; from the new generation of homeless in Ireland (including entire families), to the terror reigned upon Paris, Belgium and other countries, to the awful, unfathomable situation in Syria.
But we must always remember too that there is much, much good in this world.
So, as the sky colours up for the final descent of the sun this year I give you my wish for all in 2016....
It is relatively simple: understanding and tolerance of all our neighbour's beliefs and traditions, be they in the house next to us or the village, town or country. With education and compromise delivered where necessary. If we all practice this, and return this tolerance and understanding to each other then hopefully some form of peace will grow?
Or to put it more succinctly in twitter-speak ......
#NewYearsResolutionsIn5Words : Education, Understanding, Tolerance, Compromise, Peace.
May 2016 be good to you all and bring you much joy and peace.
Take care......

SPONSORED POST: From Dijon Originale mustard to Cornichons, Maille has a rich heritage starting in 1747 that honors tradition. Check out these easy recipes that pack great flavor, thanks to Maille.
Have you ever been at the mall and are doing your best to get in and out as quickly as possible (crowds and malls are not my favorite) and then you walk by an auntie ann's and almost die from excitement (or the delicious aroma)? Just me? Cool. Well I'm so excited to share this recipe with you today!! In the past year or so I have become a huge fan of soft baked pretzels. And especially now that Baby H is on her way, I am always wanting carbs. :) Although, let's be honest, I was already that way before!
I'm so excited to share with you how to make pretzels from scratch at home and with your own honey mustard dipping sauce (so good!) to serve with it. I love my mall pretzels, but these are SO much better. Seriously, once you try a homemade pretzel you will scoff when you see the pretzel stand at the mall, and keep on walking by. I am doing you a favor!
Ok, let's talk about this honey mustard dipping sauce. I want to use this on everything. It is made with Maille Dijon Originale mustard and is simply divine! I have been a huge fan of their mustard for awhile and was so excited to be able to work with them.
These everything pretzels with honey mustard dip will be a hit at your next holiday party or even as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. Everyone will be so impressed you made pretzels from scratch, and you get to avoid the mall crowds and eat your pretzels in peace.
Pretzels may seem intimidating to make but they actually are pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. I have some tutorials on my instagram page in my stories if you want a step by step on how to shape them!
- 2 tbl Maille Dijon Originale mustard
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbl honey
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1½ cups warm water
- 2 tbl brown sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 active dry yeast packet
- 4½ cups flour
- 2 oz butter, melted
- ¼ cup baking soda
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Everything bagel seasoning (or just coarse salt!)
- To make the honey mustard dipping sauce: Whisk together dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To make the pretzels: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough attachment, Combine warm water, brown sugar, and salt. Sprinkle yeast on top, and let sit for 5 - 10 minutes or until foamy.
- Turn mixer on to low speed and add in the flour and melted butter. Stir on low until combined, and then increase speed to medium/medium-high for 4 - 5 minutes until dough pulls together into a ball and is smooth.
- Dump dough out and shape into a ball. Lightly oil a large bowl and place dough inside. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and sit on counter for 50 min - 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Dump dough out onto a clean surface. Divide into 8 equal portions. Using your hands, roll a portion of the dough into a 20 inch rope. Form a "U"-shape with the dough rope. Bring the ends towards the middle and twist. Lightly press ends into the bottom, to form a pretzel. Set pretzel on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with remaining dough.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Sprinkle in the baking soda.
- Drop the pretzels into the boiling water, two at a time, for 30 seconds, making sure to dunk pretzels in the water a couple of times. Set aside on the second baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining pretzels.
- Brush the egg wash on top of each pretzel. Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning (or course salt if not using). Bake in the preheated oven for 12 - 14 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
- Serve with honey mustard dipping sauce!
- These taste best the day off. You can also reheat them slightly by popping them in the microwave for 15 seconds.

According to financial data collected by Thomson Reuters, 70% of S&P 500 index companies have reported third quarter profits so far and earnings are up 30% year-over-year. This compares to estimates of just 24% growth and explains why the U.S. equity market is knocking on the door of the 2010 highs made back in April. For all of the pundits complaining that Washington DC politicians have been bashing Corporate America too much, aggregate corporate profits are actually making new record highs (second quarter earnings were an all-time record) so we have to wonder exactly how tough companies really have it these days.
As we head into 2011 analysts are expecting corporate profits to keep surging, by about 13% next year. With P/E multiples about average historically, the strength of earnings will likely dictate much of market's movement in 2011. Analysts notoriously overestimate profit growth (by a factor of nearly 2x over the long term according to studies done by McKinsey), so once again they are very optimistic about the coming year (corporate profits grow about 6% per year over long periods of time). As is usually the case, the numbers are telling a better story of reality than political and private sector commentators, which is why the market is doing pretty well despite 9.6% unemployment.
To gauge market prospects for next year, investors should continue to look at the numbers and ignore the posturing in the media and on the campaign trail. As things stand now, I would expect another gain for the U.S. equity market in 2011, but the magnitude will depend on whether the analysts are right or once again overly optimistic. That could be the difference between single digit and double digit returns over the next 12-15 months for stocks.
And on a somewhat related note, don't forget to get out and vote tomorrow.

From the very first episode of this year's Amazing Race Canada it was clear that dating couple Sam Lambert and Paul Mitskopolous were the team to beat. After all, the guys are athletic, have a great bond and were able to work through pretty much anything together once they put their minds to it.
They also happened to have more first-place finishes than any other team in the race.
On Tuesday night they brought it all home by winning the big, final leg in Quebec, beating out Team Give'r (Kenneth and Ryan) and Korey and Ivana in a first-place finish that may have brought a tear to our eyes. After all, this is a team we couldn't help but root for from the very beginning.
But likability doesn't necessarily translate into winning Canada's biggest race around the world. After hightailing it through four countries, six provinces and 17 cities, we caught up with the winning couple to find out the secret formula to winning this race, how they're planning on using all of their trips now that Sam has been accepted to medical school, and where they plan on parking their new Chevrolet Equinoxes in Toronto.
What was your secret to winning?
Lambert: The secret to any team doing well, and true for us, is a strong relationship. We understand each other really well. We work together really well. Communication is important, and working through those issues quickly. Communication under pressure was probably the thing that got us through quickly and got us through to the end at the top.
Is that something you've had to work at?
Mitskopolous: We definitely work at it and we got better at it throughout the race. At the beginning we weren't communicating so well, but at the end of each leg we'd spend some time talking about what went well, what didn't go well, what we had challenges with and what we were arguing about. That led to easier communication throughout the other legs. We tried not to take things personally or get mad at each other. It helped us in our relationship after the race as well.
It all starts with an audition, so why do you think yours stood out?
Lambert: Our audition was actually really simple, we just did a webcam video, sitting on the couch with our computer and no editing. I think we got it on the third or fourth try. I think it worked because it was authentic and it showed our relationship and our dynamic really well. That's what they're looking for, something that's real and captures your relationship.
During the actual race was there a time you thought that was it, or were you confident throughout?
Mitskopolous: There were a few times that I definitely remember… In Ottawa doing the RCMP horse challenge it took me a lot longer than I'd hoped, and there was a U-Turn ahead in that leg. So we were really worried about our safety in the race. Luckily we ended up doing really well in the next challenge, but we were super worried.
Lambert: And the second U-Turn in Regina we were a little scared. We didn't think we were going home, but it lit a fire under us and we knew we were close to the bottom and had to do something about it.
Paul, you said that you had come out to your friends and family a month before doing this race; what was it like to essentially announce it to the whole country in doing this show? Was a part of that liberating?
Mitskopolous: In the last year everyone has been finding out, especially the past three-to-six months. It definitely was liberating. It was such an experience to go out and run that race with my partner and feel even more comfortable throughout the race as time went on. And then to see the episodes air and get so many messages from people that were in the same boat is incredible. It really helped me throughout this and I hope it will help others as well. I hope we were positive role models and no matter what people are struggling with — any challenges — we just really wanted to spread that message of positivity and acceptance. No matter who you are we're all Canadian and we need to be there to love and support each other.
Sam, you found out you were accepted to med school while doing the race — what kind of a boost was that?
Lambert: That was the most amazing thing that could have happened. It's a highlight for me. It was unbelievable and the best news I could have received. I took a big risk applying and quitting my job so to find that out while racing… I can't put it into words. It was incredible.
In addition to winning this lifetime trip, you won a few other trips from coming in first throughout the show. With med school and jobs, how are you going to take time to go on those?
Mitskopolous: We're not entirely sure! We're going to use all of the breaks we have in the next year, whether it's breaks from school, vacation days… we're going to take advantage of the trips we have. Hopefully we can use them up in the next few years. We're not too sure of the restrictions yet. But we're so excited about the opportunities that we have. We're so excited to go out over the next… five years?
What's number one on your list?
Lambert: We really want to take a trip to the South Pacific somewhere. Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand. That's been at the top of our bucket list for a while.
Mitskopolous: And of the trips we have, we're super excited to go back to China. We were there but we were in and out. Like, we were at the Great Wall of China for such a short amount of time, one of the most amazing spots in the world. So the fact that we get to go back there and really experience it… we're super excited about that.
You both live in Toronto, so does parking now become an issue with your new trucks?
Lambert: I actually no longer live in Toronto, I moved to Hamilton a couple of weeks ago for school so it's awesome because we can use them to see each other. But for Paul, I don't know!
Mitskopolous: Yeah I'll have to get a parking spot! But I am so excited I have the car.

Link Echoes (a.k.a. Link Ghosts): Why Rankings Remain Even After Links Disappear - Whiteboard FridayBlog Post: August 15, 2014
Incredibly interesting insight into Google's possible algorithm components. I applaud your efforts in doing testing to dig deeper into theories as this. I have to say, your argument for Link Echoes is compelling. I would only think it to be fair that Google would ghost links as broken links are happening all the time.

Ancient Chinese Medical Practice of Acupuncture
The ancient Chinese medical practice of acupuncture has come a long way in regards to being recognized as an acceptable treatment methodology.
Ancient Chinese Medical Practice of Acupuncture
The origin of acupuncture is shrouded in the mists of the past. There are some indications that a form of it may have been practiced in Central Europe six thousand years ago. Some very early archeological evidence shows that something that certainly resembled it was being practiced in China as early as the 1st millennium BC. The earliest medical text uncovered in China do not mention it, however, so the exact date that it was first practiced in its present form remain unknown.
The first mention of the practice in a written text was the "Classic of Internal Medicine" that was complied during the reign of the Yellow Emperor sometime between 305 and 204 B.C. The theory and philosophy behind acupuncture has changed little through the years, although in modern times the practice was briefly outlawed by the Communist Government of China. The Communists made fun of acupuncture at first. They called it a foolish and superstitious practice that had no place in a modern and scientific world.
This attempt to eliminate acupuncture did have the side effect of driving many devotees of the classical practice out of China. This spread acupuncture to parts of the world where it had previously been little known. It was not long before the Communist Government realized that despite their ridicule, the practice was never really abandoned by the people of China. They also began to see it as a useful alternative to Western style medical practice that was expensive and not so easy to make available to the masses in China.
Today, acupuncture is practiced again in a very slightly altered form that does not discuss the spiritual implications of the treatment as much as had been previously done. The more classical ancient form is found more in Chinese enclaves around the world than in China itself. In China, it is often combined with Western Medical treatments. Acupuncture was not unique to China. Forms of it were practiced in ancient Korea and Japan, and are still practiced there today.
The ancient theory of acupuncture is based on the idea that the body consists of certain "systems of functions." Some of these systems are associated with various body organs although not directly. Others are associated with various body functions. A substance called qi flows along twenty different Meridians or pathways connecting and influencing the systems of functions. Qi is rather hard to define, but is sometimes referred to as "vital energy." Treatment consists of altering the activity of one or more of the systems of function at very small points located along the Meridians. The points are called acupuncture points and are stimulated by needles, pressure, or heat.

Dirt Bike Racing
If you have ever wanted to be a daring dirt bike rider, then here is your chance to do so. Dirt Bike Racing is a game that turns you into a world champion on two wheels. In order to race, you use the arrow buttons, but you can also use the WASD buttons. You will select the bike that you want, so you need to read the statistics so that you know you are on a powerful machine. Then you will start on a track, and each level will take you to a different track. When the race begins you will be at the back of the pack and you are supposed to race and pass then all in order to win the race. Dirt bike racing involves jumping the bike, so you will do a lot of that. The game makes you feel like you are at the helm of a motor bike and racing to come first. The twists and turns of the race will amaze you. When you want to turn right, then use the right arrow, and the opposite when you want to turn left. You can use the down arrow to slow the bike if you want to. When accelerating, you use the up arrow, which you can release if all you want to do is slow the bike a little. This is a game that was made for bike junkies who get a thrill out of seeing speeding machines flying through the air. Sometimes the biker do funny maneuvers in the air to the delight of the spectators, and these are usually the most daring so they are always at the pole positions; this is a game that will have you humming and wowing as you enjoy the view that you have of the whole course. This is a game for those who love speed and adrenaline rushes.
