'No Man's World - Black Hand Gang' – Pat Kelleher (Abaddon Books)
As a History A-Level student I went on a field trip to the First World War battlefields of the Somme; something that cannot fail to leave it's mark on anyone who goes (even a bunch of eighteen year guys who were trying to find out where the nearest pub was to the hostel, I don't think we ever found out...)
One part of the trip I'll always remember is visiting the Hawthorn Crater where 40,000lb of explosives were detonated as part of the offensive to capture German positions. As with most British plans during the war, it worked well in principle but not in practice with the Germans easily driving off the British advance... Such monuments to man's inability to get to grips with a whole new kind of warfare are dotted all over the Somme. What if they were monuments to something else entirely though? That's Pat Kelleher's spin on things and the result is a gripping start to a new series from Abaddon...
On November 1st 1916, nine hundred men of the Pennine Fusiliers vanish in the middle of their advance on the German positions in Harcourt Wood. They awake to find themselves in the middle of an alien world where the natives are aware of their presence, and hungry...
Getting back home is the number one objective but this must be balanced out with replenishing dwindling supplies, maintaining some semblance of morale and surviving first contact with an inscrutable alien race. All these perils though might just fade into insignificance however when the soldiers are faced with a threat within their own ranks. It might just be that the Fusilier's arrival on this planet was someone's plan all along...
I'm pretty much like this the whole year round but it's always the summer months that bring out a real need in me to indulge in some good old fashioned pulp fiction. You know the stuff that I'm talking about here. Books that you can read in the sun but can easily put down when it gets too hot and you want to reach for that second beer. That is exactly what 'Black Hand Gang' is but with one difference, at least as far as I was concerned. I couldn't put this one down, not until I'd finished reading it. It wasn't a perfect read but there was never any question of my stopping with it.
Pat Kelleher has clearly gone to a lot of effort and research to give his readers a look at life in the trenches that is as authentic as possible. He has played around with some of the place names etc (and his prologue adds a subtle hint of 'what if…?' to the proceedings) but what the soldiers go through in the book is pretty much what their real life counterparts would have experienced. Kelleher pays tribute to these men by not holding back with the conditions that their own commanding officers forced them to fight under. Officers saw shellshock as cowardice and punished it accordingly, there's plenty of that here and it's all the more pointless when you see what the men are running from.
Having got his readers filthy in the mud of the trenches, Kelleher then proceeds to use this authenticity to make what is to come even more bizarre and out of this world. Kelleher only gets it half right but what he does hit the target it's definitely worth sticking around for. He really nails not only what it must be like to experience an alien world for the first time but what it must have been like for a soldier of the First World War (who might never have gone beyond his village until he joined up) to experience that world. There's a real stand off between claustrophobia and agoraphobia as the men are at constant alert with no idea of what might come over the horizon… When they finally meet the natives the scene is set for explosive action as the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force meet… you'll have to wait and see. It's done brilliantly and I'm looking forward to more of the same in future books.
Sometimes it goes a little awry… I seem to have a thing about too much background detail at the moment, especially when it gets in the way of the story. 'Black Hand Gang' falls foul of this on more than one occasion with perhaps a little more detail of alien forests etc than is needed for the story to flow smoothly. That the story tends to flow very smoothly the rest of the time makes these moments even more infuriating; you know what the story is capable of and it leaves you wondering why it seems to have taken a backward step.
If this wasn't bad enough, you're getting all of this through the perspective of soldiers who often don't have the slightest idea what they are looking at. If they don't know then you're not going to know either as Kelleher sure as hell isn't going to tell you. Why should you know when they don't?
While this approach does make an alien landscape even more alien it can also leave the reader as confused as the characters they're reading about. There's nothing to connect with other than a bunch of guys who are just as confused as you are but I guess we all get to find out what's going on together!
When Kelleher gets the story away from these moments, it's clearly one that I'll be around for more of at least. Black magic, alien beings and a dirty great tank! 'Black Hand Gang' is very much a book that sets up future sequels but those three ingredients mean that it's a lot of fun to read in the meantime and there are intriguing possibilities for the future (as well as a degree of closure that you wouldn't normally get in the opening book of a series). Kelleher may be writing pulp here but he takes time to give us characters that we can care about. The ending comes with a couple of cliff-hangers and one of these in particular left me feeling really sorry for a main character. That's not something that happens an awful lot and I'm all the more eager to find out what happens to him next.
'Black Hand Gang' does suffer from erratic pacing at times and a narrative approach that can leave a reader floundering. Give it a chance though, 'Black Hand Gang' is also a thoroughly entertaining tale that promises great things for the future. I'll be around to see if the series meets the standard that it has set itself.

KingCast says "Well I'll be damned, it's another Manchester Police Department head cracking case at the Strange Brew!"
This blog is an informative, interactive journey through the legal life of Kelly Ayotte. Not the life you hear about in most major media, but the dirty, seamy underside..... The fish rots at the head: Good ol' Grand Cayman Carbon-Bag Kelly even ignored her Senior Attorney on filing Amicus in Mass v. EPA, 127 U.S. 1438 (2007) read the emails here.
C. The Free Press Claims.
First of all, as discussed in Section D, infra, Kelly Ayotte's refusal to answer a question is newsworthy in and of itself, whether Defendant likes it or not. It's as simple as if FOX News asked President Obama:
"Do you think Momma Grizzly Kelly Ayotte allows Law Enforcement to abuse women" and he declines to answer it is still newsworthy. Therefore Lieutenant Fisher's harassment of Plaintiff as Plaintiff was already following his instructions constitutes unlawful First Amendment abuse for two reasons, on Free Press and Free Speech grounds because Plaintiff could not continue his line of questioning.
4This is a point of crucial distinction because there is no such thing as a de minimis violation of the First Amendment. Either there is or there isn't, and when other white people are closer to a backing car, and when Plaintiff has not once violated the Orders of Lieutenant Fisher yet he is spoken over and harassed, there is a clear cut First Amendment and racial violation caught on film and in pictures. It can't get any clearer than that, and a Jury is entitle to determine the outcome.
Ralph Holder RSA 91-A; Sealed Cases on Stephen Monier; 2/3 of Plaintiff's Memorandum Contra Motion to Dismiss
9:01 AM (1 minute ago)
from Christopher King
to Brian Cullen ,
Christopher King
Top of the morning Counselors,
First of all Attorney Delaney, I'm looking forward to reviewing that full file on Mr. Holder i.e. "any documents bearing his name" ASAP, it's about That Time.
Next of all:
Attorney MacDonald, I will finish my Memorandum Contra your client's Motion to Dismiss later today or tomorrow, these responses to Nashua PD and are 99% complete pending one last review. I want to make certain I didn't Gerrymander your statements of fact and argument, as you have attempted to do to me. The Motion for Rule 11 Sanctions will accompany. You guys wanted to fight, well by golly you've got a fight.
By the way, it took me four years to get justice for Michael Isreal as noted in the pleadings, when those cops caused him to be a victim of violent crime so I'm in no hurry. We can all sit back and enjoy the ride.
See you at SCOTUS.
Christopher King, J.D.

Alright ladies listen up, if your man is looking for a new styling product you might want to check out Got2B's inPlay Sculpting Paste.
It promises to "easily mold and shape that messy look. Twist and turn your hair all you want, with the paste's rough finish it will always look like you didn't even spend time on it. You're the artist, create your masterpiece."
Thanks to Got2B and BuzzAgent my brother got to try it out (since my hubby's hair is too short to style).
1. The smell. It's strong, but smells good. It's a very "masculine" smell that most men would enjoy. My brother actually mentioned that his girlfriend loves how the sculpting paste smells when he puts it on.
2. Staying Power. If you're looking for a product to hold your hair in place all day--you just found it. This sucker will make your hair stay put, in fact my brother says that when he wakes up the NEXT DAY his hair is STILL styled!
3. Packaging. It comes in is a small plastic container resembling a deck of cards.
1. The Consistency. The paste takes a bit to get use to because it's very thick and sticky. If you put on too much on it becomes very tacky and leaves your hair with a white residue that you have to work out to get rid of.
Overall my brother really liked this product. He thought that the staying power out weighs any cons that it had and would definitely purchase it again.
Overall Rating: 4 out 5
Price: $5-7 (depending on where you buy)

This was actually the first time I'd photographed something other than people. It was an interesting experience for me which I really enjoyed. I made a point not to move or touch anything, every object was found exactly where it had been left. Each image has a bit of a story to it, and they all tie together with a common theme.
1. the dandelion was the first thing I saw, growing right in the middle of the driveway, which tempted me to go and explore the rest of the place. It had emerged from a crack in the brick and has become this magnificently beautiful plant. I love the natural symmetry and the intense colours in this image.
2. the dried up pool and the estuary at low tide looked so surreal right next to eachother. I put these two images together because I feel there's a significance, in that the feather represents freedom but it is stuck under the brick, and the boat is a potential way to escape but there is no water around it. Deep I know haha... I thought they tied together nicely anyway.
3. this traffic cone looked so out of place that I had to make it stand out even more by partially desaturating the rest of the image. These bits of the old fence had been piled up in the back yard so I made use of them aswell. I love the depth of field in this one, I counted nine different points of focus. See if you can spot them all...
4. I like this image for alot of reasons. I like that although the original plant is dead, the fresh new plant has grown out of the area of the pot which has broken away. And I like all the details like the crack in the wall on the left side and the little seashell carved on the broken off piece of pot. This has alot of meaning that I can't explain in words right now, but it's all open to personal interpretation anyway. It's art after all.
5. this one is a little bit strange. It's not very pleasing to the eye, but then again, it's not supposed to be. I love seeing things that just look totally out of context. Like I said before, I made a point not to move anything around. This missing piece of a children's toy happened to be lying in the overgrown garden. And it also happened to be my favourite number, three.

That is the facts (Utah Envy)
Governor LePage, yesterday at the Blaine House:
"...The state of Maine spends $15,000 per student per year. The state of Florida spends $11,000.
"25 years ago, Maine was fifth in the nation. Arguably now we're about 36th. Florida was 47th. Now third.
"The state of Florida has 2.7 million people in K through 12 - two ...point ...seven million students K through 12. They do it with 56 superintendents. The state of Maine has 187 -- I got to chuckle because one hundred and eighty-five thousand -- not a million. It's 185,000 students K through 12. And we do it with 127 superintendents.
"Now was John Baldacci correct in consolidating? Absolutely. Did he go far enough? Absolutely not. If he was going to get crticized he should have gone right down to the heart of it - to the counties at sixteen. Because that's all we can afford.
"We spend, on our school budgets, 4.5 percent of the school budgets toward administration of our schools. The rest of the country spends 2% to administer schools. It's that simple. It is that simple.
"And, to add insult to injury, the three top states in the country for education -- are: Massachusetts, Utah, and Florida. Cost per student: In Massachusetts: eleven five; Florida, about eleven thousand; and here's the kicker: Utah: less than nine thousand dollars.
"It's... Folks, you can take all the rhetoric and listen to all the administrators, the teachers unions, and the legislators -- but when you get down to the facts of the matter, when you're talking about facts, they don't hold water. If you want to have a better and more prosperous state, you need to make tough decisions. I have been willing to do so. Nobody else has.
"And that's the facts. Thank you very much."

A video of Cameroon's first daughter Anastasia Brenda Biya Eyenga smoking sparked uproar on social media earlier today.
The video which was shared by @ejohnattywhite on Instagram shows Brenda puffing a cloud of smoke from her nostrils and mouth as she moves to a song playing in the background.
Cameroonians and other Africans have been bashing Brenda that her smoking behaviour was improper considering that she is a President's daughter.

Don't worry. Now quotes are
Quick Quote
After your quote submission
We'll connect with you in
Foil fusing is the process of bonding foil to an image printed with a toner based copy machine or laser printer. The Therm-O-Type Automatic Foil-Tech machine provides a new standard of foil fusing equipment performance. Using Foil-Tech equipment, customers can now utilize foil fusing technology to efficiently produce a wide range of high value products.
Foil Fusing eliminates the need for expensive equipment, a skilled operator, dies, and a make ready/set-up process for each job. The Foil-Tech system allows for short run, digitally printed materials with variable data to be efficiently and affordably produced. The Automatic Foil-Tech can run up to 1,500 sheets per hour of portrait letter size stock.
To operate the Automatic Foil-Tech, load sheets up to 14-1/2" wide by up to 2' long into the machine. A foil roll, up to 2,000' long, is mounted in the machine, foil unwind and rewind tension is controlled with adjustable clutches. Once the Foil-Tech has reached the foil fusing temperature, the paper feed is activated and a sensor automatically activates the impression mechanism. Fused sheets are delivered into a receiving tray and used foil is rewound for disposal. When feeding is complete, the Foil-Tech will automatically drop off impression. Fusing quality on various papers is controlled using both temperature and speed (dwell) controls. If a foil jam should occur, a sensor and interlock will automatically drop the machine off impression and stop the drive.
Optional Accessories:
Fusing Foil Applications:
Personalization - Individual or small quantity personalization of greeting cards and other products. Using Foil-Tech, personalized information is imprinted on the sheet, using a low cost laser printer, then the sheets are fed into the Foil-Tech, where the foil is fused to the toner image area. No die is required. No registration or impression adjustments are required. No special operator skills are required. Personalization applications include greeting cards, graduation, business and social announcements, invitations, and name cards.
Business Cards - Small quantity business cards are now successfully produced using full color laser printers. Run ten-up on a sheet, a 250-card order only requires 25 sheets of paper to be processed through the printer. Using relatively low cost digital equipment, these full-color, fast turnaround business card orders. To add additional value to these products, Foil-Tech can be used to imprint metallic and/or pigment foils. Producing a full color, ten-up business card sheet with foil logos, with Foil-Tech, requires three steps. First, imprint only the image area to be foiled on the sheet using black toner. Second, run these sheets through the Foil-Tech to fuse the foil to the image area. Finally, run the sheets back through the laser printer to add any black or color text and/or graphics that need to be applied with toner. The same process is used to add foil to letterheads and other personal or social stationery.
Proofs, design samples, small quantity tests - Creating proofs, design samples and small quantity test runs that feature foil, has always been expensive and time consuming. What is the right color foil to use to achieve the desired effect? How do you present design options for your presentation? How do you quantify the fact that the design is effective? Using Foil-Tech, sample proofs can be quickly and economically produced using various colors of foil. Proofs and design samples can be created, evaluated and presented with various colors of foil. Once an initial design decision has been reached, small quantities of test product can be produced for design quantification. All without the delay and expense required with traditional foil stamping equipment.
Just 3 fast & easy steps!

DJ was delighted to share his learning time with Mumble who always likes to follow DJ around anytime he can.
We completed our first chapter in the book The Egypt Game. The title of the chapter is called "Discovering Egypt", which is the inspiration for the title of this post.
They had a grand time going through The Egypt Game box.
They enjoyed the hieroglyphs stamps while making words. The boys had fun with the masks, and researching who these people were. They also completed a worksheet learning about the overview of Africa, where is Africa compared to the other continents,etc.
Then onto to Maths.
Working with the division equations.here.
DJ showing Mumble some Form Drawing work.
They finished up their first lesson in their Bible Study curriculum- which was about the days of creation. They love reciting their memory bible verse Genesis1:1 . We then explored some of the maps and timelines they will be using with their Bible Study.
I will share more about them as soon as I get all of the maps and timelines to lay flat. They were rolled in a tube, right now I have some glass over them in hopes that they lay flat soon. Anyways, they were really excited about them, especially since they saw Egypt on one of the maps.

Halomonas titanicae – bacteria from The Titanic
Categories: Animals
Halomonas titanicae is a species of bacteria which was found on rusticles in the wreck of the RMS Titanic, at the bottom of the sea. Dr Henrietta Mann discovered the bacteria when analysing rusticle samples taken from the Titanic in 1991.
© Antonio Ventosa (University of Sevilla, Spain)
The image is from an Environmental Scanning Electron Microgrpah (ESEM) and shows a stacked mineralized individual bacterium in the form of a stalagmite shape occurring inside a rusticle.
Source – http://news.mongabay.com/2011/0523-hance_top10.html
The bacterium, named Halomonas titanicae, sticks to steel surfaces, corroding them.
The bacteria has been listed as potentially dangerous to oil rigs and man-made objects in the deep sea, although an advantage to Halomonas titanicae's discovery is that old ships that litter the sea floor will be recycled by this bacterium.

Hello Stuart
Just wanted to let you know that my order arrived safe and sound
yesterday, very pleased, nice to receive stamps that have actually been
through the post and I can only give you a big compliment on your web
site! I've been buying stamps online nearly ten years now and I just
can't understand why I didn't find you before - never mind I'm here now
and I'll be back (that doesn't read right, who cares)
Again many thanks - until next month !
Kind Regards
Ian Freezer
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent foreign premium mixture I recently received - this really is the 'good stuff'. Several high value definitives plus a number of higher value commemoratives, with many smaller countries represented. Really glad to go for a batch of this again! The single stamps from Mauritius and Canada were also great value. I appreciate your use of the miniature sheet as postage. It was undamaged and I needed it for my collection!
Best wishes, Tom Lundberg
Stamp order 6980/100416/84 received today with thanks. I am very pleased with the excellent condition and service, and they fit my needs ideally. Many thanks and I will be back!
Richard Inston
Hi Stuart, Thank you for the stamps and the great service. I would recommend you to all.
Many thanks - my stamps arrived this morning.
Excellent service again, which is much appreciated.
I shall be keeping my eyes on the website & ebid, with a view to buying more, especially the Channel Islands material.
I have to say, the quality is absolutely brilliant. There are so many places that sell FDC material as 'fine used', but I much prefer your wonderful, postally-used stamps. Probably the best used CI I have seen.
Again, Thank You.

Sounds Great, But How Do I Do It?
Reading about culturally responsive teaching is one thing, trying it in the classroom is quite another. Here's what the experts—and the teachers and ESPs just like you who have tried the approach—think you should know. Some of this may sound familiar, but consider how intensely you're delving into these methods.
Question Everything You Know
Start by asking yourself a few questions: Do I know the cultural background of each of my students? Do I integrate literature and resources from their cultures into my lessons? Do I consistently begin my lessons with what students already know from home, community, and school? Do I understand the differences between academic language and my students' social language, and do I find ways to bridge the two?
Contemplate the home life of the student who is sleepy-eyed or apathetic on a particular morning. Perhaps one of his family responsibilities is caring for a younger sibling or an after-school job. The student with the incomplete homework might be hobbled by her parents' inability to speak English. A student who doesn't turn in an assignment describing her house might be reluctant to admit in front of classmates that she lives in a homeless shelter.
"You can't fix most of these things," says researcher Jacqueline Jordan Irvine, "but knowing about them can help you make adjustments and provide support."
Consider cultural cues as well. In some cultures, making eye contact with authority figures or speaking loudly to them is considered disrespectful. "Students' frames of reference can clash with classroom norms," says American Indian education specialist Denny Hurtado. "Some Native Americans want to silently try to work on things before speaking," he says. "But teachers fear that they just don't want to participate."
Says Meany Middle School teacher Wendy Miller, "Examine your frame of reference." Or, as Irvine puts it, "Be curious."
Don't Just Guess or Fall Back on Old Assumptions
Instead, let students talk about elements of their culture, both positive and negative, removing the burden from you to speculate or ask questions that you fear might be too probing. You can start with an assignment that asks students to discuss their life outside of school. For instance, in NEA's educator guide Culture, Abilities, Resilience, Effort: Strategies for Closing the Achievement Gaps, teachers are urged to have students describe what they enjoy doing outside of school, with whom they spend most of their time, and whom they admire. Having children elaborate on their culture provides a shortcut to learn more about them, while they practice writing skills.
In one activity, students write about their culture's celebrations, greeting styles, beliefs about hospitality, the role of family, and attitudes about personal space and privacy. Another has them pen short descriptions of the languages they speak, the music they listen to, the foods they eat at home, what is considered polite and rude in their family, what manners they have been taught, what they wear on special occasions, and what role extended family plays in their life. Imagine how much of an icebreaker such an activity could be.
Get Out of the Classroom
Irvine believes the first step toward cultural competency is heading out into students' neighborhoods. "Go to their homes, go to the African-American churches, go to the Hispanic community centers." But proceed respectfully. "You have to have cultural ambassadors," Irvine says, pointing to fellow staff members, community leaders, or a parent with whom the teacher already has a connection as potential liaisons. "You have to be invited in. Don't just show up to an African-American church like it's a field trip." Each semester, Irvine, who is Black, brings her teaching students to such gathering places in Atlanta. "Once teachers made the effort, the respect for them rose," she says. Stepping into new environments is rarely easy, but can pay significant dividends. "We have to step outside of our comfort zones and push ourselves," says NEA's Denise Alston. "It will make a difference to the child."
Parent-teacher meetings are valuable tools, but the culturally responsive teacher moves beyond the traditional framework for such get-togethers, considering, for example, the schedule of parents working more than one job. Find out if your district has translators or cultural interpreters available and invite them to attend. Or consider meeting with parents at a location in their community.
In Seattle, grant money—including a $250,000 grant from the NEA Foundation—helps pay for teachers to spend days out in the community, familiarizing themselves with the culture of the students it sends to school.
Teach Them Using What They Already Know
Consider your minority and low-income students' experiences as valuable tools, not deficits, says Alston. It's called an "assets-based model," and it means taking what others might discount as problems for the child—poverty, English as a second language—and viewing them as building blocks for perseverance and resilience.
Using your newly widened frame of reference (remember the first point?), try recalibrating your lessons to match their experiences. For instance, when giving a geography lesson, use the names and patterns of students' neighborhood streets. In social studies, do a substantial unit on South America, Africa, or Asia, inviting students to talk about what they know about the lands from which their families hail. Have your math students write a rap song to describe a principle, such as how to reduce fractions. If your elementary school students use public transportation, have them bring in bus or subway schedules and use them as the focal point for a lesson on time or map reading. "It says to a child, 'You bring something,'" says Alston, "and it lets you build on that."
East Haven, Connecticut, teacher Joseph Marangell's ninth-grade history students spend the first five minutes of the period writing in journals "about issues relevant to both their own lives and the history curriculum," he says. The East Haven High students then share their writing, "providing a springboard for each day's lesson."
Use the Work of Those Ahead of You
Don't try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to selecting appropriate books or lesson plans. Hurtado recalls the day he decided to talk about American Indian canoes in conjunction with a reading lesson and opened a book on the topic. The pictures misidentified American Indian tribes—something he, as a member of the Skokomish Tribe, quickly spotted, but someone else might not have realized.
With that in mind, he and partner Magda Costantino did the heavy lifting, designing their American Indian reading curriculum on a DVD that contains reading passages, photos, and video clips, including interviews with tribal elders. This fall, the pair is adapting the program for the U.S. Department of Education to use nationwide. A similar effort is in full swing in Wisconsin, where members of the state's 11 tribes have partnered with the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) in developing a culturally responsive education package. Supported with NEA and WEAC grants, the package includes a teacher's guide, DVDs, posters, and magazines. (Head to www. nea.org/crt for more culturally responsive teaching tools.)
Reach out to those who have come before you, too. Within the Black community, retired teachers can be tapped as a resource to share their strategies for reaching ethnic minorities. "There are people out there who know how to do it," says Irvine. "We need to find them.
Know That You're Supported
For NEA, promoting culturally responsive teaching is not subject to the fickle winds of education reform. It's part of the Association's resolutions, which state clearly that ethnic-minority teachers must be involved in selecting educational materials and those resources should contain points of view that realistically portray ethnic minorities' lives. NEA plans to allocate $200,000 over the next two years to promote adoption of cultural competence standards for educators in five policy arenas affecting educator preparation, induction, and professional development.
Tap into Lesson Plans
Culturally responsive lessons available in books and online can often be adapted to address different cultures and different grades. "Make it personal for your students," says Hurtado, and "work with your local communities so it's authentic."
For example, the book Teaching About Asian Pacific Americans offers an adaptable business and marketing lesson. Students select a magazine and compare the number of ads featuring Asian-American models with the total number of ads, and describe the product and company that these models promote. Students then discuss or write about how the ad maintains or breaks stereotypes. Does it have derogatory images or language? Students are asked how they might recreate the ad.
Visit www.nea.org/crt for additional examples of lessons geared toward American Indians, Blacks, and Hispanics.
Return to Resources
Return to It's There: Talk About It
Reading about culturally responsive teaching is one thing. But seeing it an action can help make reaching students of different backgrounds from your own click. In this online resource package, we've highlighted how one group of educators in Washington is incorporating American Indian culture into lessons. In this video, educator Denny Hurtado talks about how reading lessons focusing on the culture can bring it alive for students. And you can easily adapt the lesson's components—video interviews with elders, reading passages—to engage students of other cultures in your own classroom.
The Northwest Native American Reading Curriculum is an interactive DVD and guide that is designed to help educators integrate American Indian culture into a reading curriculum. The DVD (available free-of-charge from http://www.evergreen.edu/ecei/) contains video clips, reading passages and lesson plans celebrating Native culture. The authors say the lessons can be easily adapted to engage students of other cultures.
Check out these video clips, lesson plans and readings from the DVD!
Imagine showing your students a short video clip or two with elders of their community talking about something that relates to the culturally-responsive lesson you're about to teach. In these videos, elders of the Skokomish Tribe discuss canoeing and drumming—the perfect introduction to the lesson plans and reading passages that follow.

Encyclopedia of World Biography on William Wilkie Collins
The English author William Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) wrote intricately plotted novels of sensational intrigue which helped establish the conventions of modern detective fiction.
Wilkie Collins was born in London on Jan. 8, 1824, the son of a successful painter. Leaving school in his sixteenth year, he was apprenticed to a tea importer but had little enthusiasm for business. As a young man, he both wrote and painted. He published a number of articles and stories, exhibited a picture at the Royal Academy, and was an early supporter of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. His first published novel, Antonina, or the Fall of Rome (1850), was modeled on the historical fiction of the popular Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
Collins met Charles Dickens in 1851 and became one of his closest friends. Most of his early stories and novels appeared in Dickens's magazines Household Words and All the Year Round, and through participation in Dickens's elaborate amateur theatricals...

Dog of Dallas nurse with Ebola moved to air base
DALLAS — Officials say the year-old King Charles Spaniel belonging to the Dallas nurse hospitalized with Ebola has been given comfortable bedding, toys and other items to entertain him while he stays at a decommissioned naval air base.
City spokeswoman Sana Syed said Tuesday that Bentley is staying in the former residence of the executive officer at the decommissioned Hensley Field, which is owned by the city. Bentley was moved Monday from nurse Nina Pham's apartment to his new home, where he'll be monitored.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings says city officials vowed to do everything in their power to care for Pham's beloved pet.
There was an uproar in Spain after Madrid authorities euthanized a dog belonging to a nursing assistant sickened by Ebola. Authorities were concerned the dog might be harboring the virus.

In a move that surprised markets, the bank said it will reduce its bond-buying programme from €80bn per month currently to €60bn at the end of March next year.
However, the bank also said the programme will run until December 2017, "if necessary" – longer than anticipated.
If the programme does run until December next year, it could end up buying more bonds than if it had maintained asset purchases worth €80bn per month and only extended the programme for six months after March.
In his statement, ECB president Mario Draghi said the programme could also stretch beyond December and "in any case until the [bank's] Governing Council sees a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation consistent with its inflation aim".
He also left the bank the option to increase the programme's size or duration if conditions become "less favourable" or steer the eurozone off course from the bank's inflation target of below, but close to, 2%.
Investors had been hoping for an extension of the bank's QE programme at the same rate, and are likely to see the move as "tapering" – a term that refers to the gradual roll back of the US Federal Reserves' QE programme in 2013.
But Draghi said the ECB's decision would ensure financial conditions remain favourable. He added: "The extension of our purchases over a longer horizon allows for a more sustained market presence and, therefore, a more lasting transmission of our stimulus measures."
A 'tapering', or gradual reduction in purchases over time until the bank isn't making any, "was not discussed and is not even on the table".
Jennifer McKeown, chief European economist at Capital Economics, commented "it seems the bank has a clear bias in favour of more policy support in future".
The bank also announced some alterations to its quantitative easing policy, amid concerns that current restrictions mean it could run out of eligible bonds to buy.
The bank will now be able to buy debt that yields below the 0.4% interest rate it pays on commercial bank deposits. This could trigger a shift to purchasing more bonds with short maturities – a prospect that pushed yields on long-term government bonds up.
"The upshot of all this is that large ECB asset purchases now look set to continue throughout next year and probably well into 2018," said McKeown.
"This marks a stark contrast with our expectation of significant policy tightening by the Federal Reserve, supporting our view that the euro is set to depreciate to parity or lower against the dollar."
The bank also announced its growth forecasts for the eurozone: predictions remained largley the same, with expected growth of 1.7% next year and 1.6% in 2018.

I ordered carpet from EMPIRE TODAY in Staten Island with their Salesman Tony (worst salesman ever!) and got the old bait-and-switch!!! I chose a high quality carpet and when it arrived it was low grade garbage!
No wonder EMPIRE doesn't let you have swatches when you make your purchase! They also insist on full payment PRIOR to installation. Luckily, I caught it early and cancelled my order. Even the installers said the carpet was cheap and not worth the amount I was paying.
Tony was useless when I called him. He complained that he was too busy to come back to my home to attend to the problem and hung up on me twice.
Product or Service Mentioned: Empire Today Carpet Flooring.
Reason of review: Bad quality.

Be part of BIGSOUND 2019
Australian and international artists have the rare chance to perform in front of some of the most influential figures in the international music industry by showcasing at BIGSOUND.
Taking place on the nights of Tuesday 3 – Friday 6 September in Brisbane, BIGSOUND Festival is the showcase opportunity that puts artists in front of the local, national and international music industry delegates attending the BIGSOUND industry conference.
Now in its eighteenth year, BIGSOUND has grown to become the biggest annual music event of its type in Australia. Run across four days and four nights, you can meet, talk and listen to the brightest lights in the music industry. When the lights go down, your band could be wowing the industry audience at some of Australia's best live music venues in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley.
The Levi's® Music Prize is an exciting initiative that enables Australian bands and artists to make the most of new opportunities on the way to the next stage of their careers. The total Levi's® Music Prize is a contribution of $100K annually, divided into $25K grants to fund the careers of four quality artists/acts. One prize is for an artist showcasing at BIGSOUND Festival in September this year, with the other three prizes awarded in the following yearly quarters to artists who played BIGSOUND between 2014 and 2019. So if you are selected to play BIGSOUND Festival in 2019, then you get a second bite of the cherry if you don't win the Levi's® Music Prize on your first attempt.
In addition to having access to hundreds of influential music industry figures and becoming eligible for the Levi's® Music Prize, BIGSOUND Festival showcasing artists are provided with the opportunity for excellent media exposure, with the event being covered by national and international media outlets and reaching an international audience of 24.6 million people.
Nearly a thousand bands have performed at BIGSOUND over its 16 year history – it's easy to see why BIGSOUND Festival is the place to be for breaking artists. Previous years' festivals propelled the careers of Courtney Barnett, Flume, Rufus, Seth Sentry, Stella Donnelly, Gang of Youths, DMA's, Kingswood, The Temper Trap, Megan Washington, DZ Deathrays, Ball Park Music, San Cisco, Boy & Bear, Tash Sultana, The Jezabels, Middle Kids, A.B. Original and Methyl Ethel - and many, many more.
Will you be next?
Applications have closed for 2019.
BIGSOUND presents Australian artists with the extremely rare and valuable opportunity to showcase their wares to a national and international music industry audience.
The core purpose of the BIGSOUND Festival showcase is to create business outcomes for showcasing artists by exposing them to relevant buyers.
Our capacity to achieve this is in many ways determined by which national and international buyers agree to come to BIGSOUND, and what sort of artists they're interested in signing. We do our best to attract buyers from a very broad cross-section of genres, but ultimately it's the buyers' decision whether they come to BIGSOUND or not.
Unfortunately we can't tell which buyers are going to attend BIGSOUND before showcase applications close.
We often receive excellent applications from outstanding new talent that isn't relevant to the specific buyers that do end up coming to BIGSOUND. In those instances, it's difficult to justify putting those artists on the bill, as they won't have a good chance of landing deals from their showcase performance. In other words, if we feel there is a higher likelihood that an artist can get something out of showcasing at BIGSOUND, we'll pick them first.
However, it's also true that we try (where we can) to find space in the line-up for those absolutely amazing artists that might be a bit more of a wild-card for the buyers, but who are doing something truly innovative and inspiring.
The curation of the showcase also requires that each stage's line-up makes sense. We aim for a balanced mix of all genres across the festival, but it's a complex jigsaw to put together. We also have to consider the need to put together a line-up that audiences are going to want to see.
Because of the complex variables involved in our decision, we don't enter into further explanation or justification for why some artists have found their way onto the showcase and others have not.
Our main piece of advice to you is that you need to be able to make a compelling argument about how you will use BIGSOUND to capitalise on your band's existing momentum. The selection process is extremely competitive, with about a 15% success rate. You need to be able to show that you have a strong team around you and a plan for the future.
Good luck. We hope to see you soon.

IT investment in a recession doubles returns, expert says
Here's a take on IT spending that most IT executives will be happy to hear: Companies that make IT investments in a recession will see the financial dividends for years.
"It's double coupon days for IT investment," Howard Rubin, MIT CISR research associate and professor emeritus at Hunter College of The City University of New York, recently told IT and business professionals at the Society for Information Management monthly Boston meeting.
If a company invests $10 million now in IT, Rubin said, then another company that waits until better economic times to make that investment will likely spend twice as much to catch up with the business that made the initial investment in a timely manner.
"Competitors won't be able to afford to catch up," Rubin said.
The thrust of Rubin's talk – that IT investment still matters, even in a recession – hinged on the notion that spending on IT vastly enhances a company's business performance, and the gap between you and the competition goes straight to your financial bottom line.
Each dollar of new IT investment between 2003 and 2004 led to a gross profit increase of $1.47 in 2006, Rubin said, while a 26% increase in cumulative absolute technology spending in the U.S. in 2006 helped drive 114% in absolute gross profit. In other words, IT pays for itself and more.
Of course, in today's recession, technology spending is colliding with economic conditions, Rubin said. The current high fixed cost of IT in most companies is preventing change, and conventional IT cost-cutting models – outsourcing, offshoring, laying off workers, squeezing vendors, reducing portfolios — have "hit the wall" under pressures to spend less.
"You can take advantage of this time by optimizing what you're doing," Rubin said.
This could involve tapping into technologies such as Gmail, or shifting more costs to vendors via new supply chain management models.
But time is of the essence, because your competitors will catch up if you give them the opening. If you can make external partners understand your new scale, he said, you should see rapid IT transformation that benefits the business' bottom line. And isn't creating dividends – both now and down the line — what we're all looking to accomplish, especially in a recession?

500 Pennies
(Performance and contract, Tramway Glasgow 2012)
£5 budget. 500 pennies. Each penny with a different past. All with a different direction. The performance was an opportunity to pause and reflect on giving and receiving.
500 pennies were laid out on the table. Each one with a small sticker on it (face down) with a number.
Performance took place as a discussion based on the nature of giving and receiving, value and worth. During the 5 minutes, the pair learned from each other the most they ever paid on a gift; the best gift they ever received; the best gift they ever gave.
It became clear during the discussion that economic value was distinct from perceived worth – and this was emphasised in the second part of the performance: each of the 500 pennies on the table was numbered, and each number corresponded to a unique task. The pair agreed to complete the selected task a set number of times based on the perceived value of the exchange between performer and participant; after signing a contract each agreed to email the other when the task was completed.
32 contracts signed.
31 contracts completed by the artist (1 still ongoing); 24 contracts completed by participants.

Your ColorSpark Jewelry will stay as fresh looking as when you first received it if you handle it gently and keep in mind the pieces are made from natural materials that react to the environment.
All pearls and most stones, especially the softer ones such as malachite and turquoise, will absorb oils, sprays and chemicals, and eventually be affected by whatever they absorb. Extensive cleaning can be avoided if some simple steps become part of your jewelry-care routine.
When dressing, always put your jewelry on last, after applying any perfume or hairsprays. If possible, avoid putting perfume or body lotion where your necklace or bracelet will lay so the chemicals do not accumulate on your jewelry.
When undressing, take your jewelry off first. As soon as you can, wipe your jewelry with a soft slightly damp cotton cloth to remove any oils or perspiration. Then let your jewelry lay flat and air dry. Use cotton cloths rather than tissues or paper towels — those paper products have wood fibers in them that can create tiny scratches.
After your jewelry is completely dry, wrap in anti-tarnish tissue before putting it into your jewelry box. To avoid scratches, keep each piece of jewelry separate and protected. Unwrapped jewelry can be scratched if pieces touch each other directly. Sometimes you can't even see the scratches right away but, once there, each little scratch is a place for chemicals or moisture to collect and eventually cause further damage.


text: I've been reading about how you were sometimes sewn into your clothes, so that they could be as tight as humanly possible, and that when you weren't wearing these outfits you were often naked or wearing a fluffy robe. I think of the times that I wore clothes that were so tight and how there was a sense of power in fitting into the garment and the accompanying fear of losing control. I remember that I had a sense that in these tight clothes I could run with the big kids. It must have been such a feeling: the clothes hugging you so tight, keeping you contained, while thousands of hungry eyes eat you up.

fall, falling, failing
just because the air conditioner has been useful for an absurd number of days lately.
just because the orange and red and yellow leaves are slow and pop out in bursts.
just because I'm not sleeping very well. and I'm tired. and I'm tired of being tired.
just because I feel snippy and annoyed and annoying and I'd rather be reading a book (but there's too many choices).
just because I wish social media was easy again (part of my being annoyed and annoying).
just because I'd rather be planning something more fun and I've got travel days ahead of me.
just because I'm still parsing the fallout of all that happened this spring and summer (and last winter, too).
just because I simultaneously wish I could be more helpful and need to hibernate into my own nest.
just because words didn't come easily tonight and it took me too long to find a photo.
just because I knew I needed to do it anyway because I made myself a commitment.
just because listing it all out helps, somehow, really helps, writing it out. yes.
