Bowness-on-Windermere: Welcome to our World
Alfred Wainwright, famed fell walker and author, fell in love with the Lake District on his first visit when beholding breathtaking views from Orrest Head, a South Lakes fell located one mile south of Bowness, where our B&B sits upon Brant Fell, sharing these same awesome Lake Windermere views.
'I was totally transfixed, unable to believe my eyes. I had never seen anything like this. I saw mountain ranges, one after another, the nearer starkly etched, those beyond fading into the blue distance. Rich woodlands, emerald pastures and the shimmering water of the lake below added to a pageant of loveliness, a glorious panorama that held me enthralled. I had seen landscapes of rural beauty pictured in the local art gallery, but here was no painted canvas; this was real.
'This was truth. God was in His heaven that day and I a humble worshipper.'
(The Outlying Fells of Lakeland by Alfred Wainwright)

Definition Of 'Cosy': Feel Right At Home!
Blenheim Lodge Bed and Breakfast: warm, friendly, welcoming home from home atmosphere where you can simply relax and pad about in your slippers – or even pyjamas as you will – without feeling self-conscious! Built in 1868 as a Lakeland retreat, our Victorian home nestles quietly on Brant Fell next to The Dales Way in Bowness-on-Windermere and retains much of its original character. One Tripadvisor reviewer describes Blenheim Lodge as 'a place of tranquillity and utter charm'.
Listen! To The Sound Of Silence
Blenheim Lodge is uniquely situated in Bowness-on-Windermere. Serenely perched on a hill, our AA 4-Star B&B literally backs into peaceful fell-side. We are only a 5-minute walk into bustling Bowness town centre and Lake Windermere, but, up here, secluded from the hubbub of busy traffic, crowds, and late night revellers, it feels like a million miles away.
Imagine an oasis of peace . . . taking time out from the hustle and bustle of your life. A backdrop of woodlands and fields frame our B&B where cows and sheep often graze. Take a deep breath and fill your lungs with fresh clean air. Hear the birds sing as you gaze out of your room windows to glorious views of Lake Windermere and the fells.
In the blissful stillness of our Bowness countryside, you can hear a pin drop! Sometimes shy deer come out at dusk or early morning to graze behind our house or breakfast on the plants in front! At night, owls hoot and bat wings flutter in the wooded stands.
Look out to see the stars. We have no light pollution here. Fall asleep to the sound of silence. And awake refreshed to a bright new day!
Bowness: Small Town Charm With a Secret in Plain Sight
Pretty Bowness on Windermere, often called 'Bowness', is easily accessible by motor vehicle or train, whilst supplementary local transport links connect this bustling small town to other parts of the Lake District. Well provisioned with numerous amenities, eateries, pubs, and shops, Bowness also boasts two immensely popular attractions: The World of Beatrix Potter and Windermere Lake Cruises. A number of festivals are held annually in Bowness centre, The Glebe, or Bowness Pier.
Hidden Bowness: the busyness of Bowness town is sharply contrasted by the peaceful quietude of Brantt Fell and expanse of beauteous countryside a mere 5 minutes' walk from its centre. The Dales Way long distance footpath, just a minute's stroll from our B&B, starts or ends in Bowness, depending on where the walker begins his route. Follow or branch off The Dales Way to explore open fell and 360-degree viewpoints.
The Lake District National Park: Awesome Beauty That Grips the Soul
The topography of the Lake District is one of magnificent fells and beautiful tarns and meres. Synonymous with the Lake District are the Herdwick, hardy native sheep which roam the fells, and whose grazing shape and maintain the iconic Lakeland landscapes we love so well. Beatrix Potter, famed children's author and creator of Peter Rabbit, champion of the Herdwick and benefactor of the National Trust, worked tirelessly to support the preservation of this breed and their grazing grounds as well as the Trust's places of extraordinary beauty.
Within the Lake District National Park are England's largest lake and highest mountain: Windermere and Scafell Pike. The peaceful loveliness of Nature undefiled inspired the Lake Poets, one of whom, William Wordsworth, penned what is arguably his most famous poem, 'I wandered lonely as a Cloud', after a visit to Ullswater.
Light and the quality of light are essential to the devoted painter. Alfred Heaton Cooper and, later, his son, William Heaton Cooper, were tireless in their quest for that optimum Lakeland light one finds infused in their art. Watch out for some truly astounding inversions when this same soft light permeates the Lake District mist.
The Dales Way
The Dales Way long distance footpath traverses beautiful countryside as it wends its way between Ilkley in the North Yorkshire Dales to Bowness on Windermere in the Lake District National Park. Our B&B, Blenheim Lodge, is quite literally situated at the foot of the trail, and ours is the first Bed and Breakfast off The Dales Way in Bowness. Warm hospitality awaits walkers looking for that welcome rest: remove your boots; wriggle your toes; slouch in comfy chairs; and enjoy sustaining cups of tea or coffee – and biscuits – to rejuvenate those tired spirits!

SharePoint Online (Office 365) migration between two Tenants was recently performed for a client. Following are the project features:
Migration Tool:
Metalogix Content Matrix Migration Express Console (Free version with 25 GB limit)
Key Points
1. OneDrive for Business (personal contents) were not migrated over. [Only team collaboration contents were migrated]
2. Board group had external users. Their @Tenant2.com emails were added to the group. They needed to sign-up using that email and create a password to login to the site
3. Tenant1 users need to switch their desktop OneDrive For Business client links to the Tenant2 site. Else they will loose that data in their OneDrive for Business after Tenant1 SharePoint Office 365 is closed.
4. Tenant1 users need to update their desktop Microsoft OneNote files that were pointed to the old Tenant1 SharePoint online site to the new Tenant2 SharePoint Online.
Great to come to your site as the information shared is good and is explained in simple words. Good stuff you are created, thank you for sharing a nice article.


text: Bird flu is a disease caused by a specific type of avian (bird) influenza virus, the so-called H5N1 virus. This virus was first discovered in birds in China in 1997, and since then has infected 125 people in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia, killing 64 of them. It is spread by infected migratory birds (including wild ducks and geese) to domestic poultry (primarily chickens, ducks, and turkeys), and then to humans.

Beverly Tan: Why I F**cking Hate Starbucks
Posted by TheShot on 27 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: Machine, Quality Issues, Starbucks
While we're on the subject of humorous opinions on coffee purveyors…
No matter what you might think of Arianna Huffington, you have to admire the cajones to publish today's op-ed blog piece on The Huffington Post: Beverly Tan: Why I F**cking Hate Starbucks – Living on The Huffington Post. Author Beverly Tan, an admitted and yet reluctant Starbucks customer herself, rips into Starbucks' super-saturated ubiquity, "cross between drain cleaner and flat Pepsi" quality, "lesbian folk singers and Miles Davis" soundtrack, and misplaced pretentiousness.
Nespresso loves company.
Coincidentally, yesterday Starbucks announced that they are "upgrading" their espresso machines: Starbucks Upgrades Espresso Machines – WSJ.com. It's a move designed to help stave off customer losses in their U.S. stores — though they'll deny it's connected in any way, just like their newly planned national ad campaign. Given the last time Starbucks put their genius towards "upgrading" espresso machines, where they replaced all their La Marzoccos with with superautomated Verismo machines, we can't wait to see how they're going to top that.

So what we've got here is Miley Cyrus singing a morbid piano ballad called "Pablow the Blowfish." She's wearing fluffy unicorn pajamas and playing an electric piano in an ersatz cornfield; additional props include a stuffed unicorn on a stool and an inflatable Super Mario Bros. power-up mushroom. Verily, the song is addressed to her beloved deceased blowfish of the same name (prayers up); three minutes in she starts crying, and needs a hug afterward. You might, too. There is nothing remotely ironic about any of this. It's confounding. I'm confounded. Let me know what you make of it.
This tune comes way more than an hour into her endless, punishing, overcompensatingly druggy, and mildly admirable surprise new album, Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, a collaboration with the Flaming Lips that's streaming for free right here, as she announced Sunday night at the conclusion of her disastrous stint hosting this year's MTV Video Music Awards. (This wacky viral marketing stunt was nearly derailed an hour before launch when Nicki Minaj basically threatened to rip Miley's head off and feed it to her live onstage.) To suggest that "Pablow the Blowfish" is the point at which this album loses perspective is to suggest that a way-beyond-full-length collaboration between Miley Cyrus and the Flaming Lips is capable of having perspective in the first place. But it's not a bad song, and it's not unaffecting, and if nothing much else it's ample evidence of her outlandish charisma, and we've all been there in re: mourning a beloved blowfish, and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, man. Someone Photoshop a joint into ¯\_(ツ)_/¯'s mouth.
She stunk at the VMAs, btw. Deeply unfunny, desperately edgy, ceaselessly profane, increasingly naked. She's suffering from Lady Gaga's Law of Diminishing Envelope-Pushing Returns, a plague that eventually afflicts even the best of us, and in fact recently drove Gaga herself to ditch the meat suit and leap directly into Tony Bennett's arms and go all normcore. Miley will likewise be exploring the back-to-basics route within three years, and it will be awesome; until then, even her biggest fans are gonna be wincing through some stuff. Sunday night, the Nicki Minaj thing was brutal, and everything else was worse. Even Miley's climactic surprise performance of Dead Petz opening track "Dooo It!"—featuring the lyrics Yeah I smoke pot / Yeah I love peace / But I don't give a fuck / I ain't no hippie, and visually augmented by strutting contestants from RuPaul's Drag Race whilst Flaming Lips boss Wayne Coyne repeatedly fired a confetti cannon from between Miley's legs—inspired little confidence and much confusion. This is like if Iman Shumpert had dropped a new three-fire-extinguisher-emoji mixtape right after the Cavs lost the NBA Finals.
Which doesn't make Dead Petz bad, or at least it's not a bad idea in theory. In practice, though, it's more exhausting than it is anything else: There are 23 songs on this thing, one for every year Miley has been alive, plus one more. (Let's say the extra one is "Fuckin Fucked Up.") For the first half-hour or so, it's functionally a straightforward Flaming Lips record with Cyrus on lead vocals, which has enormous disruptive appeal, actually. The Lips, too, are lower-profile victims of Lady Gaga's Law of Diminishing Envelope-Pushing Returns (or LGLODE-PR), having spent much of the last half-decade arguing with ex-drummers over the sensitive issue of Native American headdresses and antagonizing Erykah Badu and other ill-advised non-artistic pursuits. Best-case scenario, these guys can slap each other awake, right?
Right. Track two, the mournful cracked lullaby "Karen Don't Be Sad," is very nearly as good as this sort of thing gets: It at least catches a whiff of the Lips' Soft Bulletin-era grandeur, the last time the SONGS! mattered more to them than the ANTICS! This is followed by a lil ditty about a sunrise, and then two separate tracks with "Space" in the title. Even "Dooo It!" is tolerable in context: The second verse ("I understand / Why there is a sun / How the bugs fly / And why there is a moon / Way up in the sky") harkens back to Insane Clown Posse's immortal "Fuckin' magnets / How do they work?" They made it a hot line; she made it a hot song.
But then this happens.
Oh, God. This is rough sledding. I had to shut the door to my office, for one thing. (Too many impressionable young children around here.) The conceit to "BB Talk" is astounding: She's scolding an overzealous lover for overdoing it with the PDA and goo-goo-ga-ga stuff. ("Fuck me so you stop baby-talking," is the climactic refrain. Confused? Genius has got you covered.) Which, holy shit. Being admonished by Miley Cyrus for being too twee and exhibitionist is like Big Sean dumping you because your jokes are corny. "Fweaky" is narcotized and nauseating and notable mostly for the fact that Mike Will Made It, the radio-killa pop-rap supernova who executive-produced Miley's relatively conventional 2013 smash Bangerz, shows up and thereafter periodically attempts to imbue this beast with some semblance of commercial appeal, and mostly fails, which is for the best. Ms. Cyrus herself described "Bang Me Box" to the New York Times as "pretty self-explanatory," and let's just leave it at that, Christ.
Alright, look. Here's the best song we got.
Pretty great! She gets to say "I'm 'bout to get fucked up" a bunch, the beat's punch-drunk but stumbling forward at least, the Lips slather it in woozy psychedelia without vomiting glitter all over everyone, there's an honest-to-god chorus/hook/that-was-a-good-drum-break thing happening, and "Self-control is not something I'm working on" is a splendid thesis. Great song! Let's go home!
[Clicks back to SoundCloud tab.]
Shit! Eleven tracks to go! "I Forgive Yiew" recycles the "Slab of Butter" beat for a cloying sing-song diss track smaller than the pieces of shit Nicki Minaj eats for breakfast. Big Sean himself falls asleep halfway through "Tangerine." Walking lo-fi Subreddit Ariel Pink mercifully falls asleep before "Tiger Dreams" even begins. The vaguely dance-floor-oriented "I Get So Scared" and "Lighter" are like Carly Rae Jepsen if you replaced the chaste exuberance with barbiturates. (Both those songs ain't bad, actually.) And "1 Sun" will not convince your parents that global warming is real, sorry. And then, well, geez, look who it is.
Try it without the unicorn pajamas. I don't know. Listen: You want to live in a world where this record exists. Miley Cyrus is 22 years old and mega-rich and spectacularly out of her gourd and hellbent on doing every last ill-advised thing that pops into her cannabis-addled head. Most of her ideas are terrible—most of your ideas at 22 were terrible—but she's got a huge, tolerant fan base and, even more importantly, a huge and hilariously intolerant coven of haters begging for the revulsion only she can provide. But after suffering through Sunday's VMAs, which posited pop stardom as a dim-witted checkers-as-chess match of shifting alliances and awkward #squads and contrived disses and even more contrived reconciliations, it's clear we need someone who can (ha, well, mostly) rise above it, or sink beneath it, or trip balls until she traipses around it. She is a force for Chaotic Good, even as the chaos consumes her.
Seriously. In the past three years she's pulled off one of the single greatest troll moves in pop-music history; dropped one of the better pop songs of the past half-decade (the song, not the video, perv); and stolen the Saturday Night Live 40th-anniversary bacchanal out from under every single famous person on earth by legitimately murking "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." She's got exit strategies. Dead Petz is the sort of overblown, overbearing fiasco that eventually necessitates an exit strategy: It's a smothering cocktail of PCP and TMI that I greatly look forward to never listening to in full in one sitting ever again. It's brave, and it's insane, and it's without peer or precedent or much of a point, really. All the same, though: You want her twerking on that wall. You need her twerking on that wall.
Rob Harvilla is Deadspin's culture editor. Yes, there is one. He's on Twitter.

Loving the way Emma has styled the bright yellow dress with The bold red lips and the nude shoes,which bring back the outfit's simplicity.
Forever a fan of black on black I just love this look on Emma stone with the low-cut top and high waisted trousers ... AMAZE¡
I just think this dress is absolutely stunning,not too frilly and well accessorized with minimal jewelry and checked shoes.
Emma stone is both intriguing in her fashion sense and on-screen as an actress.She's so simple in her casual outfits and so daring when it comes to the red carpet and also she still has the same make-up and hair team she had since she was 17-company mag. Her style is timeless and whether she has blonde or red hair she still knows how to style her outfits to suit them.
Her love of minimal jewelry speak to me in particular because it places emphasis on the actual outfit. what do you think ?

After hearing and reading a lot about oil pulling, I decided to give it a shot. Honestly, because of of a extreme sweet tooth and improper dental care i have been a victim of tooth decay. So I thought lets try this over talked OIL PULLING method.
I choose Coconut Oil to start because of its anti bacterial properties. I took 2 tsps of coconut oil to start with instead of 1 tablespoon. The moment I placed coconut oil in my mouth , i felt like puking. But with a lot of efforts and will I placed the second spoon and started swishing. It took me 5 seconds to settle down the feeling of puking and continue swishing. I swished for about 17 mins, till the mixture doubled in quantity and turned white.
The second day it was a lot more easier for me to do it for good 20 mins. I use to continue doing my other house chores while swishing the oil in my mouth. And soon the 10th day arrived when I had an appointment with my dentist too. By 10th day I was able to feel whiter teeth and better breath.
In the evening I wanted to take my dentist opinion on it too. And I am happy to inform that he was like- " It's an ancient method and definitely has its benefits. It helps you in whiter teeth , prevention of oral bacteria, on dental caries, on plaque/gingivitis and on oral micro-organisms.
So here is the summary of the entire method.
- Take 2 tsps of any of these oils: Coconut, Olive or Sesame. Please note that these oils should be organic and cold-pressed. Check out my earlier blog All about Carrier oils to know where can you buy these oil from your choice.
- Swish it in the mouth for 20 mins. You will realize that the amount of liquid in your mouth has doubled and turned white.
- Spit the liquid out in a trash can. Do not Swallow the same since it contains high amount of toxins. Also do not spit it in the sink, it might block your drainage system.
So it definitely worked for me and gets a thumbs up. I am breast feeding my LO as I started with Oil Pulling and it is completely safe. It is a mild detox and will not get any toxins mobilized in your breast milk. So, let me know if this oil pulling method works for your oral care routine or not.
Love ! Shrads XOXO!!

Chinese translation
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) often have clinically useful battery life remaining when explanted because of upgrades, infection, or patient death.
To show that explanted ICDs can be resterilized and reused.
Retrospective cohort study.
Multicenter ICD acquisition and single-center ICD reimplantation.
Indigent persons in India who had class I indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy with an ICD and were unable to afford such a device.
Device longevity after reimplantation, device-related complications, number of appropriate therapies, patient clinical characteristics, and deaths.
Eighty-one consecutive consenting patients (mean age, 52.6 years; 66 male patients) received 106 explanted devices. Twenty-two patients received a second device and 3 patients received a third device after the prior one reached replacement voltage. Mean time to ICD replacement was 1287.4 days. Follow-up data were available for 75 of 81 (92.6%) patients. Mean follow-up duration for all devices was 824.9 days. No infectious complications occurred; 1 lead dislodgement and 1 lead fracture required repeated surgery. Appropriate therapy (shocks or antitachycardia pacing) was delivered by 64 of 106 (60.4%) devices in 44 of 81 (54.3%) patients. Nine of 81 (11.1%) patients died; mean time from implantation to death was 771.3 days.
This is a retrospective report of a single-center experience with a modest number of patients and devices. Follow-up data were missing for 6 patients. No records were kept of the number of devices obtained through postmortem versus antemortem explantation or whether explantation was due to infection or upgrade. Complete data were not available on exact battery voltage at the time of reimplantation, left ventricular ejection fraction, or number of inappropriate shocks. A control group was not possible.
Explanted ICDs with 3 or more years of estimated remaining battery life can be reused after they are cleaned and resterilized. These devices functioned normally and delivered life-saving therapies, without an increased risk for complications. These preliminary data deserve further validation and, if confirmed, could have important societal and economic implications.

Daro recommend the following guidelines to ensure your Daro Furniture maintains it appearance and condition.
- A regular clean with a soft cloth will remove any buildup of dust or debris. A spray of furniture polish can also be applied to the cloth to aid cleaning.
- We recommend that our Furniture is placed in a heated room, furniture left in a cold moist unused room can develop mould due to its organic matter.
- If mould does appear, use a soft brush to remove it, further harder cleaning can be applied with a warm soapy water solution and a cloth, a little hard work may be required.
- Avoid dragging your furniture, as the plastic feet may scratch surfaces or damage the legs of the furniture.
- To help protect your flooring we recommend the use of felt pads affixed to the plastic foot of a leg.
- We also recommend the use of Blinds in conservatory to reduce the sun's exposure to the frames and cushions. It is also advisable to rotate the furniture around a room to ensure an even exposure to the elements.
Cushion Care
- In order that cushions wear evenly, rotate, 'plump' and where possible turn regularly.
- Prevent excessive fading by avoiding direct sunlight. We recommend the use of blinds, particularly in south facing conservatories, to reduce the effects of harsh sunlight.
- Avoid extreme temperatures to prevent adverse damaging effects on fabrics.
- Remove spills as soon as possible.
- Removable covers are recommended for dry cleaning by a professional but check first for any effects of dry cleaning on the flame retardant coating.

If you use the doubling system, you would bet $1, lose. Then bet $2, lose. Next bet $4, lose! Then $8, win. You collect $8. But you have already lost $7. Of course, you could hit a losing streak, and in just eight hands or tosses of the dice, be up to betting more than the table maximum. When you exceed the table maximum, you are in trouble. For instance, if you have lost $128, your next bet should be for $256. However, the table maximum could bet at $200. This would leave you $56 short and in quite a bit of trouble!
If youre lucky the customer support service will be in the UK. However, this is not always the case, and many only have an email address so their service staff could be anywhere.

Heap big sigh.
Though I appreciate watching Cap chop wood in some 501s, I think I'm over comic book movies. Or perhaps: precisely because I appreciate watching Cap chop wood in some 501s, I'm definitely over Avengers movies. I can only deal with so many insane global threats thwarted by a rag-tag, internally-divided, ceaselessly-quipping band of misfits. I prefer the limited scope of the single-hero movies. Partly because they can engage in character development beyond thirty seconds of troubling and clumsy exposition. Even at nearly two and a half hours, this was rushed and did not engage my emotions at all. More is not always better.
Stray notes:
- This is the second movie in which I've seen Aaron Taylor-Johnson, but the first was Anna Karenina, so I think this was a lot more jarring for me than for everyone else.
- I want Hayley Atwell's dress and hair.
- Still just want Cobie Smulders to go away.

About a month ago now I was given the opportunity through the Townsville Vegans group to put aside my ego for the day and do something selfless and beneficial for the animals, humans and our planet. Standing united, but anonymous, at the local university with such a beautiful group of people and a powerful message was an absolute honour and pleasure. Our message was brutally honest and wasn't sugarcoated in the slightest, so I am so glad that the University was respectful enough to let us deliver this message despite the graphic nature. :)
The next time you come across a group of activists "protesting" in public, please don't be afraid to stop and listen to their message. I promise you they are not there to scare or intimidate you. They do not think that they are better than you. They simply wish to educate, raise awareness and ultimately create a better life for you. :)
Thank you to Samara for organising this great event, and to Dela for the awesome photos! x

Bio of Richard D. Dover
Richard D. Dover
Richard founded ChristianBlogSites (CBS) in October 2005. The CBS Story follows Richard's Bio.
Richard started doing web design as a hobby in 2000 while at the same time he was involved with various Christian ministries. Over the years he has had paid and unpaid web design customers. Currently he does not do web work and it took much for Richard to be willing to take the time to update the ChristianBlogSites multi-user site. Hope you enjoy it.
Richard is a very busy person who gives his all for the sake of souls. He is the Senior pastor of Seattle Open Door Church in Burien. He founded There is Hope Radio and did a live radio broadcast for around 5-1/2 years. Richard is the Executive Director of Fairhaven House, a clean & sober housing and discipleship program. Richard has an active blog site. Along with all this Richard is married to Carmi. There is absolutely no way Richard could do all that he does for the Kingdom without the help of Carmi, through her working full-time to cover living expenses, and being a solid support to Richard. Carmi has sacrificed so much.
Richard receives a very small salary from Seattle Open Door Church, no salary from There is Hope Radio, only free housing from Fairhaven House. Along with all the ministry jobs he does some 'tentmaking' work to have food on the table.
It is only by God's grace that ChristianBlogSites has been existence since 2005. We could use donations to help us to continue to cover our monthly hosting fees. If you would like to make a donation it would be greatly appreciated. Click Here to make a donation.
The ChristianBlogSites Story
Richard D. Dover founded ChristianBlogSites (CBS) in October 2005, way before Facebook. He started CBS because at that time there were very few personal blog options and most blogs had all kinds of advertising on them, the other blog users were writing unChristlike articles that had foul language, sexual content, etc. He wanted to offer an alternative for Christians. At that time there was very limited software available to create a multi-user blog site.
Richard spent multitudes of hours working with LifeType software to make it compatible for what he wanted to offer to CBS users. It took over a month to develop the ChristianBlogSites multi-user blog site. Along with finances. Richard did this knowing all along he wanted to keep CBS free for users. (At that time some of the blogging sites were charging monthly fees for users.)
At one time there were over 100 users of CBS. However over time it was becoming harder for Richard to keep CBS updated with the latest software and features. So there were features thart CBS did not offer, then Facebook came out. Sadly Richard was never able to interface CBS with Facebook. So Richard was ready to shut down CBS.
However, after much consideration Richard realized there is still the need for individuals to have their own private blog site. He knew the only option would be to create an entirely new blogging website using the latest software technology so that the blog site would be full-featured.
Little did Richard know how many hours it would take to redesign an entirely new site. Multitudes of hours when he had no hours. It would mean very long days with only a few hours of sleep a day. Along with additional financial costs with limited resources. Many times Richard was wanting to stop this project midstream. It was just too stressful. BUT with God's grace this new ChristianBlogSites web site is fully functional and is still free.
So, Keep on Blogging!!!

S: My Trip to the Zoo By Chazz Scott
FC: MY TRIP TO THE ZOO | by Chazz Scott
1: This book is dedicated to my mom and dad who always find time in their busy schedules to take me on vacations. ~Love Chazz
3: Hi! My name is Chazz. I am 6 years old and I love going on vacation with my mom and dad. This book is about our trip to the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, North Carolina.
5: One of the first stops we made was to see the elephants. Elephants are huge animals with big trunks!
7: Nect, we visited the ostrich. It is a very fast runner. This ostrich likes to chase the zebras that live with it.
9: The gorilla was the most interesting. I was a little scared of him because he kept beating on the window trying to get the visitors' attention.
11: The lion was having a lazy day. All he did was lie around watching the people who were watching him. I wanted to hear him ROAR!
13: The seals are great swimmers. They kept us interested by swimming by the glass so that we could get a good look at them and take pictures.
15: The zebra's stripes were like a maze. They look a lot like horses with stripes.
17: We also saw the giraffes. They have long necks that let them see things from high up. Its fur looked like my mom's rug in her bedroom.
18: I really enjoyed my trip to the zoo. I hope to go back very soon. Next time, I will take my cousin with me.

And then I picked it up the other day. Started reading it. I realized it's a history book- that it tells the story of poetry in the last century, or at least part of it, and certainly the roots of it quite well.
Now I live in San Francisco, I don't travel much, and I get to write all the time. It's a very different life. I still howl at the moon on occasion, I do drink better wine, and my stove pulls gas from the wall. That all has changed- but what hasn't is these poems. And though it's 3 years later, I get the sense that the editor would not have picked any different poems if the book had been published now, rather than 3 or 4 years ago. (Ok, I guess it's actually 5 or 6. Man…)
And that is the beauty of this book. Are these 100 poems the best that the world has to offer? No. Does this book give everyone a fair shake and choose across cultures and languages? No. It is decidedly focused on British and American poetry written in English- it is firmly rooted in the canon, with nods to the sixties and to whatever is going on with poetry right now. The first person in there is William Butler Yeats, and the last is Rita Dove. It is heavy on the love of poetry and very, very light on analysis and criticism.
This book is a love note from the editor to modern poetry- and for a poetry geek like me, that's a great thing. It's fun to read, and it's not going to put you to sleep. The editor chooses 1 poem by 100 different poets and writes a 1-3 page background on the poet. It's like sitting down next to that crotchety and fascinating professor you had back in college and actually getting the undivided attention of their best lecture about a given author ever, intended just for you.
And then there are the poems. They are wonderful, though I tend to find them let downs after the historical pieces about the people. The true worth of a book like this is not the poetry that is in them, nor the fact that there is a list of 100 poems that meets that kind of title- what is important is that there is enough love for poetry for this book to be written and for the history of poetry to be kept alive lovingly.

Dear DADS:
Listen up, dads. It's time we had a long overdue chat.
You owe it to your family to take a few minutes and read this. You're probably just mindlessly scrolling in your "spare time" anyway - or maybe someone you know shared this, hoping that someone like you would be positively affected by it. In any case, the target audience is you, DAD. You know; the stereotypical good dude who is busy working his tail off to support his kids and family. You might work long hours - sun up to sun down - to put food on the table. You might not actually see your kids all that much, because your job demands more of your time than your family does. You might not work that physically hard, but instead depend on your mind for your income. I know you're out there, working dad. You're out there in the millions, and I'm talking to you.
I know you're there, because 1. stats don't lie, and 2. I see you show up once in a while to the social media party; mostly sharing funny memes, FAIL videos, pictures of your trophy buck, or the score of the game. Once in a while you might wade into the political arena to declare your allegiance to a certain political mindset, but most of the time your use to me is a good laugh that I probably really needed. Oh, you're out there alright. For the laugh, thank you. Unfortunately, this doesn't change the fact that you're lame.
I mean, sure, I enjoy all the same things you seem to, and I laugh harder than I should at the same memes and videos y'all share. I get it - you work hard, and you don't really have the energy after work to take things all that seriously, except of course for what you need to take seriously, like your job or your family. You probably don't have much spare time to really consider much more than where your sports team is ranked nationally this week, or if Kevin will be live at 9 for some Call of Duty after the kids go to bed, or what kind of IPA goes best with steak. Actually, just admit it - IPA tastes like watery garbage, and you only drink it to fit in with your hip buds. But your taste buds actually hate you and told me to pass it on. You'll be needing a good bourbon whiskey instead. Goes great with grilling beef, smoking a cigarette and rocking the classical jazz. You're welcome, DAD.
But, that's not why I'm writing. See, while you're out doing manly stuff, like punching trees and head banging to Toby Keith, your wife has been busy learning on the internet. She has the kids health and wellbeing to worry about, since you seem to not have enough time on your hands to concern yourself with that as much as she does. So she's taken full advantage of the technology age, and does a lot of reading online. She's discovered that vaccines aren't as great as we've been led to believe, and she's been pouring her "spare time" into learning about vaccination. It's been a hot topic for years now. You know this, because you've seen people you know desperately trying to share the dangers with anyone who will read it. You've also seen people you know raving about 'the benefits of vaccination are unquestionable', and 'it's irresponsible not to subject your children to the government's ever growing childhood vaccine schedule'. Cool story, bro. You probably don't have the time or energy to get into the topic. Much easier to trust the doctors who recommend it. After all, they're professionals and obviously know everything there is to know about current medical practices. I can relate. Used to be there myself.
But, your wife has already picked up on the red flags and holes in scientific theory regarding vaccination. She already knows that vaccines can and do regularly cause a myriad of different health issues, ranging in severity from mild and almost undetectable to serious and life threatening. She knows that injecting known neurotoxins, foreign DNA, carcinogens and other toxins into a baby isn't the sliced bread invention that they tell us it is. She's already made the decision to refrain from vaccinating your kids anymore, ever since she watched a bunch of #hearthiswell videos. Believe it or not, she's also read plenty of actual vaccine science that is very concerning, linking a plethora of health issues with routine shots. She's watched doctors and scientists speaking out against the grain, putting their careers in jeopardy to do so. She's seen how diseases were becoming drastically less deadly even before their respective vaccines hit the market.
She even took a popular vaccine quiz to see how much she actually knew on the topic. Spoiler alert: she scored pretty high.
But now, she needs to figure out where you stand on it. She needs your support. You have a pretty big decision to make. You've probably already talked about it. You've either rolled your eyes, or, if you're smarter than that, you've simply said, "whatever you think is best, babe.." which of course is guy code for, "I'm not that interested. If I tell you that I trust your ability to decipher information correctly, maybe you'll stop talking." But one thing I know for sure is that you really don't care that much about this topic. I know this because you prove it day in and day out. While your wife contributes to the easily 98% female vaccine skeptic club, of which there are now literally millions in, you choose to continue living your man life, unconcerned with things of such trivial importance. Even if your wife's convinced you that vaccination's a terrible idea, you are perfectly content to sit back and let her take the lead. Great look.
See, men have a big impact on things. Their voices naturally carry weight.
When I say men, I'm talking about fathers. Males that have chosen to grow up, settle down, work for a living, and support their families. You know, real men. That's you, I hope. If not, I'm sure you'll get offended by this blog. But I'm not talking to you, so now's a good time to pay even more attention to what I'm saying. Grab a pen. Maybe someday you can punch trees, drink neat whiskey and wrestle bears too. I believe in you.
Fathers in particular have a powerful voice. Despite this, the rapidly growing, dare I say trendy, "anti-vax"/Ex-vaxxer movement is dominated by women. And I do mean absolutely dominated. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing like a mama bear with her children's safety at the forefront of her mind. They are powerful and basically unstoppable. But they are also treated horribly in many societal circles. They are mocked, slandered, cursed, laughed at, and verbally abused over and over again if they decide to speak out against vaccines publicly. I would know - I've been in the virtual trenches with them, and it's not pretty. The internet is a depressing place most of the time. Believe me, comment threads under a viral news vaccine polls are not anything like the mindless threads of the Star Wars mashup videos you frequent. There's no beauty in a public vaccine thread. On one side is your wife, speaking her opinion and sharing what she's learned, hoping that someone somewhere will read it and start researching what she's already spent hundreds if not thousands of hours on. She knows there will be blowback if she takes a stand. She does it anyway. It's not fun - only a sadistic loony would find this topic fun. It's not visibly rewarding; aside from a smattering of "likes" or "loves" she may receive from like minds. That's not why she's chosen to take a public stand on this hot button issue. She's taken a stand because she believes in her heart 100% that vaccines are a greater risk than any perceived benefit, and she's desperate to warn others who might not already know.
She's attacked left and right; mostly by entitled millennials with no kids, who seem to have major stability issues. But then there's a nurse telling her she's a bad mom, a family member voicing their naive disagreement, or a personal friend stating that the CDC is pretty much the only angelic branch of government, unicorningly having our best interests at heart. These types of comments hurt, and even if your wife manages to keep her cool under stress and is able strongly defend her position, she is shamed for even questioning vaccine safety. She is told she needs to trust doctors, because they have a degree and she doesn't. Whatever evidence she presents is immediately labeled as "biased" or "unscientific". If she manages to summon the courage to speak out publicly, she gets verbally and emotionally abused constantly.
Where are you, DAD?
Where are you, husband?
Where are you, MAN?
Probably working or off doing manly stuff, but that doesn't change the fact that I don't see you sticking up for your wife. I don't see you fighting for what she believes so strongly in alongside her. You already know why. It's because you don't know as much as she does. You've likely either ignored her pleas to you completely, or you've decided you're too busy, and that she can handle it herself. Even if your wife isn't active online in raising awareness, you probably haven't read any of her books, seen any of the science(much less know how to properly interpret it), watched any of the thousands of injury testimonies, or studied an ounce of this in general, so jumping in to defend her would be pretty pointless, wouldn't it?
Imagine for a moment that for whatever reason, you have to take your kid to the pediatrician by yourself, and you know your wife is against or is questioning vaccines, but the doctor is rambling through her spiel about how deadly whooping cough and measles are. Polio gets brought up per the overplayed norm. Meningitis. Scary. 'There's a vaccine for all that,' she says. 'Your child's not up to date, and we need to catch him up or he'll die.' What do you say, DAD? You got the cojones to refuse a common medical practice in your wife's absence? Not without proper research, you don't, and you'll look like an idiot in the process if you do. What was that your wife mentioned about aborted fetal cells? Aluminum? Glutamate?
Well, this is uncomfortable now isn't it?
Here's more awkwardness for ya: The only DADS I see fighting with and sticking up for the thousands of women like your wife are dads with vaccine injured children. Sure, they're still dwarfed by the numbers of mothers who've experienced an injury to their child that speak out, but these dads mean business and people tend to receive their words well.
Dads who were once like you. Dads who either trusted their government, their doctor, or even their wife whose eyes were not yet opened. Dads who allowed their children to be subjected to an unnatural round of injections, and suddenly became "one in a million". Welcome to the club - it's getting pretty full in here.
But it's too late for us in some ways. We can't take back what we did out of ignorance. We can't reverse time and just not go to the doctor that day.
Some of us have mildly injured and "repairable" children.
Some of us have outwardly "normal" children who've been affected mentally.
Some of us have permanently affected children who will feel the effects for the rest of their lives.
Some of us have dead children.
Hindsight is 20/20 AF when it comes to vaccine injury.
But we now know we were duped into thinking our opinions on the subject didn't matter, or that it was better left to a professional to make health decisions for your family. We speak out because we failed our child, and we're doing everything we can to warn others of the red flags and dangers involved with routine vaccination.
If you've made it this far, the point of all this should be clear.
It's a challenge, and a call to arms of all DADS everywhere, to invest in their children's future and research this topic alongside your wife. Once you're more knowledgable, you will find it hard to disagree with or ignore her, and chances are you'll end up woke AF in the process. Suddenly you'll see the entire vaccine program for what it is: a massive, unethical government experiment that is on the brink of complete failure. You'll want to tell others about it. You'll develop thicker skin. A more clear and open mind. Your voice can become powerful if you choose to use it. The more voices we have, the more we are heard by the masses, as evidenced by plummeting vaccine compliance rates, with no deadly outbreaks to speak of. You'll realize that bypassing the body's natural filtration systems by injecting a concoction of crap is a terrible idea. You'll see how money and greed literally rule the vaccine market.
It's ok to be skeptical and speak out once in a while, DAD. If anything, your voice is really needed right now. If not for the world, then for your own family. Be a man. Your wife will love you even more.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a very dangerous condition, which typically occurs in type 1 diabetes that is treated inadequately or not treated at all. Without medical help diabetic ketoacidosis can be fatal.
Diabetes type 1 is characteristic by inadequately low or even no production of insulin hormone in the pancreas (for details please read the related article). The condition must be treated by regular administration of insulin by special insulin pens or continuous administration by an insulin pump. Ketoacidosis is caused by the lack of insulin in the body. This leads to an increased release of glucose from the liver into the blood and to excessive release of free fatty acids from the adipose tissue. The majority of tissues are unable to process glucose and utilize its energy without the insulin and therefore they resort to an emergency way of obtaining the energy. This way of energy production uses the released fatty acids to produce ketone bodies (ketones). This metabolic pathway has two main disadvantages. Firstly, it produces less energy than glucose metabolism and in addition, the produced ketones cause acidification of the organism (lower pH). This acidity may a fatal complication.
The symptoms may develop gradually and they are often nonspecific – fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and sometimes the abdominal pain. High blood sugar causes glucose filtration in kidneys into urine. Sugar molecules in urine take the fluid and minerals with causing excessive urination, dehydration and thirst. The decrease of pH can cause symptoms such as weakness, vomiting, headache and later even unconsciousness and death.
Kussmaul breathing is a fairly common symptom of developing metabolic acidosis. It is a deep strenuous breathing that serves to exhale carbon dioxide in order to reduce the acidity.
The above mentioned clinical signs in a patient with type 1 diabetes are always very disturbing and lead to suspicion of developing ketoacidosis. We should do the blood test and at least basic urinalysis. In a classic situation we find hyperglycemia (elevated glucose serum level), glucose in urine and ketones in urine. Blood pH is lower than normal as we find signs of metabolic acidosis.
The therapy depends on the severity of the condition. It is advisable to hospitalize the patient in, check basic vital functions, ensure proper hydration and administrate insulin to lower the elevated blood sugar. The decrease of blood glucose level should not be too fast as it could cause a brain damage. With this careful therapy the internal environment can mend without further interventions. Only in cases of very severe acidosis we administer substances increasing pH (usually sodium bicarbonate).

Wheat Genome Annotation Platform
New genomes are being sequenced at an increasing rate, including genomes of unique and valuable Australian species. However, much of the value of a genome assembly comes from identifying where the important features are: the genes, splice variants, repetitive regions, and small RNAs. This process, called 'annotation', can be very time-consuming, requiring careful attention. Automated annotation approaches need manual curation and annotation to reach a high standard. The most successful genome annotation projects have typically involved numerous researchers and multiple lines of evidence, including RNA and protein data obtained from the target species, data from related species, and computational gene model predictions based on the DNA sequence.
Thus there is a need for collaborative bioinformatics infrastructure to incorporate multiple sources of information, and support multiple users with the ability to check others' annotations. The current best-practice approach to this problem is the Apollo software, which fulfils these criteria. However, Apollo still requires hosting with sufficient memory and compute resources, which may be inaccessible locally to some Australian researchers. It may also be challenging to set up, especially for biologists without a computing background. This infrastructure-level problem is solved by providing a 'pre-packaged' Apollo setup in the Genome Annotation Platform, accessible to everyone with an Australian research affiliation via the national NeCTAR Research Cloud.
Genome Annotation Platform for the wheat chromosome 7A
Currently EMBL-ABR is working on a Genome Annotation Platform setup for the Australian research community. This is a collaborative cloud-based platform for Australian researchers (and international collaborators) to annotate a reference genome using one or more lines of evidence. It is set up as an Apollo server running in a custom Genomics Virtual Lab instance on the NeCTAR cloud.
Our first step in this direction is a Genome Annotation Platform for the wheat chromosome 7A. This activity follows the EMBL-ABR Activity EoI, and will serve as a pilot project towards other domain and species specific genome annotation platforms.
The Wheat Genome Annotation Platform is being set up to enable collaborative manual genome annotation of wheat chromosome 7A. The wheat genome is extremely large and complex, and has been the target of a major international collaborative sequencing effort led by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium including numerous Australian research groups.
Chromosome 7A is now well assembled, but automated annotation is limited in its ability to identify true gene boundaries, splice variants and other important functional genomic features. This activity follows the EMBL-ABR Activity EoI, and will serve as a pilot project towards other domain- and species-specific Genome Annotation Platforms.
Current project outline and scope can be found here.

Two envelopes
I have 2 envelopes; one has twice as much money in it as the other. I choose one at random (both equally likely), and give it to you. Do you want to switch envelopes?
The flaw is you're using the same letter to refer to two different amounts. In one case the envelope has $2N, in the other case the envelope has M/2, but M=2N.
Peter Meilstrup
You are right in that a nicer way to answer the problem is to say that the envelopes have amounts n and 2n, and by switching, I'd either gain n or lose n, with equal likelihood. This description is very clear.
I think the error is in that your two possibilities suppose a different amount of total money in the game. You are considering n to be a constant, and comparing 3n/2 with 3n. Obviously in this case switching would seem to be advantageous. The total amount of money in the game is fixed - say x. If the other envelope contains 2n dollars, then n was only x/3. If the other envelope contains n/2 dollars, then n was 2x/3.
Paul Viney
If you are allowed to open the envelope, and you see $50 in the envelope, AND (your unstated assumption) you know that envelopes containing $50 and $100 are just as likely as envelopes containing $25 and $50, then you should switch.
Peter Meilstrup
I have to say I find this one hard to get to grips with. I think several of the posters have good explanations. I'm just posting my version because I like to talk.
David Clayworth
"If you were to tell the guesser that N was evenly distributed between 1 and 1 billion (say) then it would be correct to switch for any number less than half a billion."
The problem with the expectation calculation is to do with dividing by zero. If you expand the full Bayes theorem calculation (probability of the other envelope having $200 given that I have an envelope with $100) you will find that you are dividing by the a priori probability that the first envelope has $100. For an unbounded even distribution, this probability is zero. If you can divide by zero you can make anything equal anything (e.g. 2x=x => 2=1). So the expectation calculation is meaningless.
David Clayworth
It ought to be possible to come to the "correct" answer without opening the envelopes, and without assuming anything about the prior distribution of money in envelopes, and by using values of "money in this envelope" and "money in the other envelope" since it's just as valid a distinction as "smaller envelope" versus "bigger envelope."

S-0-S drops the radio volume level at speeds under ~ 30 mph, minimizing the need to adjust the radio volume up and down as speed related background noise increases or decreases.
Works as advertised in PBC. Installation instructions are clear. Support is available should you have a question, though hours are somewhat limited.
Absolutely fabulous for back-road touring with frequent stops! Eliminates fiddling with the volume everytime you come to a stop or slow below 30 for more than an instant. Wish I could put one in my Lexus RX300. I wanted a bit more of a decrease than the standard S-O-S unit provides and the designer was very helpful in identifying the resistors to be replaced. He even gave me the exisitng values and suggested what I might use. Anyone with a 90 thru 96.5 Miata with the standard radio, w/ or w/o the factory CD player should have one of these!

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of ReneSola (NYSE:SOL) dropped as much as 12% today after the company delayed its earnings release.
So what: The company was supposed to release earnings this morning, but after the market closed yesterday it changed the release to Aug. 30. There wasn't a reason given for the delay, so it has left investors spooked.
Now what: It doesn't help that stocks are lower today. Investors never like delays in reporting because that's usually when problems arise. So far, we don't know of any major problems at ReneSola, but this is reason to take pause when looking at the stock. It will be important on Aug. 30 to hear why there had been a delay, and also if there's anything to be concerned about the company's financials, because right now is the time when the solar industry should be making a major turnaround.

The law
As a former colony and a current constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Aruba has a legal system that strongly resembles the Dutch legal system. As is the case in the Netherlands, our penal code is divided into two books: a Criminal Code and a Code of Criminal Procedure. Whether you are a visitor or a resident, when you are in Aruba, the rules laid down in our penal code will apply to you.
The Courts
The Aruban Court of First Instance presides over criminal and civil cases and its rulings may be submitted to the Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and of Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba on appeal. The Joint Court is a visiting court, whose hearings take place during monthly sessions at the Court of First Instance. Aruban Court proceedings are open to the public, unless certain exceptional circumstances prevent public access.

Former Samoa doctor escapes jail for stealing a bull and cow
21-oct-2014 - RNZI.
A former prominent doctor, Le Mamea Emosi Puni, has escaped jail after being convicted for one count of stealing a bull and a cow.
The crimes carry a maximum jail sentence of seven years, but Samoa's chief justice, Patu Falefatu Sapolu instead ordered the Puni to pay a fine of $450 US.
The village council of Pu'apu'a has already punished Puni for the offences, who gifted the village two cattle, 50 cartons of tinned fish, a fine mat, and a voluntary payment of $1,000 US dollars.

Says my gynecologist after she has done the deed. In my other life, I will be anything but a teacher. In my next life, I will hopefully be a dog, like a great yellow lab that I know who eats until she bursts. That's what I'm coming back as. No more saving the world crap. That's clearly going to be this life and this life only.
Alright, so today I need to tell you what this blog isn't. This isn't going to be the kind of blog that tries to find any moral lesson. I had this discussion with a friend today and those are the worst kind of blogs. The ones where people have terrible stuff happen to them and try to "find the bright side in it." That's not me. I couldn't find the bright side of a light bulb. But I will try to be as funny and entertaining as possible in my antics.
So, this blog is shaping up to be the account of a former DC Public School teacher. I can't tell you about my new job because I haven't started it yet. Also, it's too small and I will have to be much more ambiguous. It seems like a great place and I'm so excited to start it at the end of the month.
Here we go. I was desperate to find a job after college and the economy was starting to tighten up. I was a media studies major, people; there aren't many jobs for us. So, a friend was finishing up her commitment with Teach for
These are the facts: I would get a subsidized master's degree and I had to commit to two years of teaching in a high needs school. Well, I just didn't know how "high needs" the DC Public School System was going to be. As it turns out, very high. That summer following undergrad, I was to attend a 5-week crash course on teaching, go to two master's classes, and teach summer school with a veteran teacher. Okay, I can be a little bit of an overachiever. When it comes to personality types, I'm like a type AAA.
That summer I was so idealistic, it didn't even matter that I was doing so much. I was going to close the achievement gap. I was going to be Michele Pfeiffer in Dangerous Minds or Hilary Swank in Freedom Writers. Except I wasn't going to be any of those things because I started in elementary education thinking (very wrongly) that it would be easier than teaching high school gang members. I'm a wimp. Well, turns out that it's much harder to teach little kids than big kids and I did eventually end up in a Dangerous Minds-like situation. Again, you'll hear about that as well.
My first teaching job ever was in a classroom with autistic children. Now, I had heard of autism, but I had no clue exactly how it manifested itself in a child. Well, as it turns out, it manifests itself in about a million different ways. I suppose that's why it's a "spectrum disorder." Autistic children do a lot of things, some of which I can't even remember from that first summer as an assistant teacher.
What I do remember from when we got switched from primary autism (which is grades K-2 in DCPS) to intermediate autism (grades 3-5), is when Artie (names are changed to protect the innocent special education students of course) came up and grabbed my boob the first day we were transferred. Boy, that shocked me. Artie would scream at the top of his lungs "Goodbye for now," as he ran out the door. He did that at least 16 times in any given day. He was an interesting kid, to say the very least.
There was Larry, who was just so sweet, but could barely talk or write. I still see him every so often because he lives in my neighborhood. Such a nice kid, I always hated seeing him get frustrated. You just wanted him to be able to do the things that you could do because you knew he wanted to.
I don't remember many of the other kids. There were 10 of them and they were a handful, but not as much of a handful as the ones I was about to get assigned to for an entire school year. One of my fellow fellows (redundant, sorry) took that class for her fall assignment. She quit by December, poor thing, and this was a girl who knew about autism. She had worked with autistic kids before and she quit.
Now, imagine how bad it was for me, little old me from
That question will unfold over the course of this blog. Or until I get bored of writing, but I learned today that I have two followers and now just like Julie Powell (Julie & Julia), I have readers. Readers who need me or at least my self-centered brain is telling me need me. So, I dedicate this blog to my readers, but then I dedicate it to my students. Those special students who have so touched my heart that it's bringing water to my eyes. I hate to see me go, but I love to watch me leave DCPS. Forever.
