So, a reflection on IATEFL Glasgow 2012...
Gavin Dudeney: Past IT – from CALL to EdTech: A History
Submitted by Adam Simpson on Sun 25 Mar, 14:44
What justifiable connection is there between the development of technology and the advancement of teaching methodology?
Having worked with educational technology (EdTech) in teaching and training for more than two decades, Gavin has witnessed a wide range of tools come and go during that time. In his session He shared his journey through the history of EdTech. Central to Gavin's session was an examination of where we are today, what have we learnt from the past, which technologies survive, and where we are heading in the future.
The last day has come...
Submitted by Ana Kodric on Sat 24 Mar, 01:38
The last sessions of the day is finished.. and the Final Plenary session, the Closing Adress and the Conference Farewell are behind us. The exciting fulfilling satisfaction combined with complete lack of energy which I feel reminds me of video games when at the end of a level you complete your mission and get the token but your energy level signalizer is flashing "red" :)
So after listening to great presenters, learning, sharing ideas and experiences it is time for what? What do you prepare your students for? The real life obviously :)))
SIG Conference Message
Submitted by Ana Kodric on Sat 24 Mar, 01:11
Mark Krzanovski (email@example.com) is a lecturer in Tesol and teacher training at the University of Westminster. He is the co-ordinator of the ESP Sig at Iatefl and ESP/EAP adviser for Garnet Education.
He states that the most important issue facing ESP in Britain is the lack of an official teaching qualification at a post-diploma level. However, the British Council is currently planning to design a certificate in teaching ESP for post-16 vocational education around the world.
Joost Swaenepoel - From Book to play! Motivating and educating learners by acting
Submitted by Ana Kodric on Sat 24 Mar, 00:43
One of the most inspiring sessions I have been to! The presenter being so enthusiastic and energetic!
He presented the idea of transferring a book read by his students, Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo, into a play perfomed by themselves. No actors! No directors! No cameramen! Well, at least not professional ones ;)
Işıl Boy and Beyza Yılmaz: TeCH-achers: Get your one-way ticket to tech islands!
Submitted by Adam Simpson on Fri 23 Mar, 18:55
Where can the internet take us as 21st century teachers? The web, Işıl and Beyza noted, is now somewhat analogous to a 'tech island' resplendent with a variety of web tools. Nevertheless, if teachers aren't aware of how to make the most of them, they won't be able to guide students through their learning journeys.
In this wonderful presentation, Işıl and Beyza took us on a guided tour of the tech island, explaining online platforms like Virtual Learning Environments and Personal Learning Networks.
Vocabulary learning and technology: are they a perfect match?
Submitted by Nahla Schowahne on Fri 23 Mar, 11:04
Mark Osborne and Graham Shipman presented their project which is called WordReady. The program is intended to enhance vocabulary usage through practice in the program. Te program informs the users of their progress from words that they are learning to what they will be learning in the future.
The users can copy any text, paste it into the program and starts the vocabulary learning process. When clicking on a single words, questions begins to appear starting from the part of speech, definition in the context, multiple choice, and fill in the gaps questions.
Eugene Schaefer - Teaching with spontaneity: using PDL in the classroom
Submitted by Ana Kodric on Fri 23 Mar, 02:22
"Imagine not knowing where your lesson is going.. walking into a classroom with no idea what the lesson content will be, but certain that learner input will lead the way."
In this workshop we were introduced to techniques used in PDL - Psychodramaturgie Linguistique - enabling us to react spontaneously to impulses from the class and help students say what they really want to say.
There are two basic techniques:
Dietmar Tatzl - Europen Teaching Staff Mobility Programmes
Submitted by Ana Kodric on Thu 22 Mar, 23:50
Dietmar talked about mobility activities, ESP teacher development and degree programmes in aeronautical engineering and piloting.
He presented the curricula of the Department of Aviation and the mobility activities he went through and finally presented the topics and gains derived from each activity.
The conclusion drawn from his expereinces are that Teaching Staff Mobility Programmes open new teaching environments, strengthen ties with partners and internationalisation and does wonder for professional development!
Joe Pereira: Using Interactive Fiction for digital game-based language learning
Submitted by Adam Simpson on Thu 22 Mar, 18:22
The notion of Interactive Fiction is neither new nor innovative. Nevertheless, its use in language teaching is still new and not yet greatly explored. Interactive Fiction is actually what many of us would refer to as the original computer game; a text-based adventure in which the player works with the game to co-construct the story.
In the session Joe highlighted the origins of the format and how it became a worldwide phenomenon. He then proceeded to look at the conventions of playing and the type of language needed to progress through a typical game.

East Lothian Co-operative Bowling Club young star Megan Kivlin continues to rewrite the history books after she capped an unbelievable last 12 months by being crowned the youngest ever winner of the British Isles Ladies Junior Singles title at the British Isles Junior Championships held at County Derry BC in Ireland last weekend.Read More
The 16-year-old, who last August became the youngest ever winner of the Scottish Junior Singles crown, was in sensational form all weekend, taking the title with a 15-9 win over the very talented Sophie Tolchard of England in the final.
"I'm over the moon," she said. "It couldn't have gone any better for me, starting with a good win (15-6) over Wales Ysie White in the semi-final. "I knew I would have to bring my A game into the final as Sophie (Tolchard) is a cracking player and thankfully I did".
Also over the course of last weekend Kivlin was part of a Scotland Ladies Junior International Team that could not prevent England from retaining the British Isles Junior International series for a remarkable eighth consecutive year. The young Scots finished in runners-up spot after recording encouraging wins over hosts Ireland and Wales but unfortunately were no match for England suffering a heavy 56 shot defeat.
Before heading over to Ireland Kivlin at EL-Coop teammate David Young were part of a Scotland Young Bowlers Association International team that were successful against a strong Ireland Under 18 team with a hard fought 18-12 points victory over the course of three test matches played at Inchinnan BC in Renfrewshire.
Monday heralded the start of the Bowls Scotland Championships being staged at the Ayr Northfield complex and it brought a mixed bag of results for the East Lothian contingent of spectators. The Haddington duo of Joe Mower and Andy Burt delivered encouraging opening round wins in the gents Junior and Senior Singles respectively while Castlepark's Janet Fairnie also progressed to the next round in the ladies Senior Singles with an accomplished 21-7 win over Nan Donald of Cardonald. West Barns held all the aces to register a convincing 17-9 win over Woodilee in the ladies Senior Fours. But it wasn't all sunshine and roses for the early challengers from the garden county with disappointing first round exits made by Haddington's Caitlin Thorburn and Andy Burt in the Mixed Pairs and Macmerry's Jim Hogg, Ted Skillen, Bobby Scott and David Pryde in the gents Senior Fours. Play continues at the championships until Sunday.
East Lothian senior side return to competitive action on Monday in the Inter-County Senior League Cup for the Matt Purdie Trophy and the selectors have rung the changes ahead of the match against Stirling East at Haddington BC. No wins from four games played is a shocking and very worrying statistic for a well-equipped garden county side and with hopes of qualifying to the knockout stages now long gone it will take a lot of mental toughness to put their heart and soul into producing winning performances in their remaining fixtures. The following side has been announced: – D.Arnot, G.Gray, D.Pryde, Fallen skip J.Murray, B.Brunton, R.Strang, A.Russell skip K.Morgan, B.Davidson, J.P.Hamilton, A.Morgan skip B.Scott, J.Smith, D.Kennedy, T.Young skip D.Hogg, A.Jamieson, G.Smith, G.Cowan skip Reserves: G.Blyth, K.Borthwick, M.Gordon, A.McCue, D.Temperley, J.Hogg Any player selected who is unable to play is requested to contact team convenor John P Hamilton immediately on 07974 648401. All players report at Haddington BC by no later than 11.10am.
Cockenzie & Port Seton's lead at the top of Division 1 table of the East Coast Carpets sponsored East Lothian Leagues has diminished to a single point advantage over title holders Haddington with four games remaining and there is still menacing pressure from third placed EL-Coop. Last Friday night's top of the table clash saw Haddington make home green advantage count to deliver an emphatic 8-0 win over their title rivals. It was a golden opportunity for Cockenzie & Port Seton to cement themselves in a very strong position at the top of the table but Haddington blew the race for the title back open again with wins on all three rinks. Alister Kennedy and Billy Mellors skipped their rinks to good wins over Scott Kennedy and Steven Morgan respectively while Joe Mower carded a match winning double on his final end to edge out Derek Oliver. EL-Coop's excellent 8-0 win away to relegation threatened Dunbar leaves them 12 points off the pace but they could still have a huge say in the destination of the title as they have the top two to play in their remaining fixtures. Castlepark confirmed their middle of the table status with a 6-2 win at home against Tranent while East Linton eased their relegation fears for at least the time being with a 6-2 home win over foot of the table Gifford. Aberlady and West Barns shared the spoils in a 4-4 draw with the result probably more pleasing for the home side than the visitors.
There is no league action on Friday night due to the current staging of the Bowls Scotland Championships but there is a full round of fixtures in all four divisions this coming Wednesday evening (August 2). Division 1 leaders Cockenzie & Port Seton play host to Aberlady while second placed Haddington also enjoy home advantage with Castlepark the visitors. Other fixtures are West Barns v EL-Coop; Dunbar v Gifford and Tranent v East Linton. All clubs are reminded that the starting time for the remaining evening games of the season is 6.30pm. All club secretaries are requested to ensure that all league and cup results, including shots aggregate score, are phoned into ELBA Match Secretary Keith Fender on 01620 860217 or via text message 07786 110416 immediately after each match.

Bone and Joint
At Fortis Escorts, the Bone and Joint Institute is equipped to provide the matchless level of professional competence and warm patient care in the sector of orthopaedics. The Bone and Joint Institute exhibits a panel of highly experienced orthopaedic surgeons trained at well-renowned institutes in India and outside India. The department facilitates latest and top-notch orthopaedic programs for minor disorders and complex joint replacement, spine surgery, trauma care, cancer management, fracture treatments, sports injury care and arthroscopic procedures. We provide a 360o approach for treatments which has made us the favourable choice for diagnosing musculo-skeletal conditions like arthroplasty (joint replacements), arthroscopy, limb reconstructions and complicated pelvic acetabular reformation.
Medical Procedures
ACL Reconstruction
It is surgical procedure to reconstruct the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) -one of the primary ligaments located in the knee. ACL fractures mostly occur due to sports that require rash stops and sudden switch in direction -like tennis, soccer, rugby and volleyball. A fractured or torn ACL cannot be fully sewn back, so a piece of ligament from part of your leg or from a deceased donor is changed with the injured ligament.
Ankle-Brachial Index
It is a fast, non-invasive method to examine your possibility of peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a disorder in which the arteries in the legs or arms are contracted or clogged. Patients with peripheral artery conditions are at a very high risk of suffering heart attack, stroke, poor blood circulation and leg sprain.
Arthroscopy is a medical program for investigating and treating joint conditions. During this procedure, a surgeon implants a thin tube consisting of a special video camera through a small cut-about the diameter of a buttonhole. The view inside your joint is projected on a monitor. This test is done to reveal problems with bone metabolism. It is the process in which bone breaks down and develops them. New bone development is part of the curing process when bones are damaged or fractured.
Bone Scan
A bone scan is an imaging test. It involves implanting a very limited amount of radioactive substances to help investigate issues with your bones.
Chiropractic Adjustment
It is a medical procedure directed by trained professionals who use their hands or small tools to apply a restrained, sudden pressure to a spinal joint. The purpose of chiropractic adjustment, also called spinal manipulation, is to improve structural alignment and correct your body's physical behaviour.
Cortisone Shots
Cortisone shots are an injection that helps in pain relief and inflammation in a particular area of the body. Cortisone shots are generally injected into joints -such as the ankle, knee,spine, hip, shoulder, elbow and wrist.
It is a surgery to eliminate the injured portion of a herniated disk in the spine. A herniated disk can disturb or crams nearby nerves that may cause pain, numbness or instability. These conditions may weaken the neck or back or may advance down the arms or legs.
Hip Replacement
The hip replacement surgery involves a surgeon extracting the damaged region of the hip joint and change them with parts traditionally composed of metal or very tough plastic. The artificial joint (prosthetics) assists in reducing pain and enhances functionality. Arthritis is the most common condition that requires hip replacement surgery.
Knee Braces
Knee braces required for osteoarthritis can aid in reducing pain by transferring the weight of the injured parts of the knee. This improves your movement of the limb and also improves the stretch you can walk conveniently.
Knee Osteotomy
A Knee Osteotomy is a surgery that is required if you are suffering from arthritis in just one part of the knee. The surgery involves eliminating or implementing a chunk of bone to the upper shin bone or lower thigh bone in order to transfer the body weight away from the damaged area of the knee joint.
Knee Replacement
The surgery is also called knee arthroplasty and it may help reduce pain and rehabilitate functionality of critically injured knee joints. During this surgical procedure, a surgeon eliminates fractured bone and cartilage from the shinbone,thighbone and kneecap and substitutes it with an artificial joint built of metal, very hard plastics or polymers.
Spinal Fusion
It is a surgical procedure to permanently attach two or more lumbar bones located in your spine, resulting in eliminating any friction between them. This procedure involves methods designed to imitate the naturalcuring process of broken bones. Under spinal fusion, thedoctor implants a bone or an artificial bone material in the gap between two or more spinal vertebrae.

The following was a reader's response to the article yesterday about my feelings regarding Frank Schillings new registry and TLDs he's applied for. I think they are all very valid points and lay out pretty succinctly the problems all new tlds will face. Here's the comment.
I disagree with Schilling and you. I can't think of another time I have disagreed with him, but truthfully there are so many holes in using these new TLDs that they will get shunned and people that use them (besides .BRAND) will look clownish and amateur.
Faults include:
1. People having the .com equivalent getting your email using their email catch all. So my.dog might lose their emails to dog.com. This can devastate a business if a competitor gets those emails.
2. So far, with the famous O.CO example, we have a 61% traffic leakage to O.COM.
3. Less trust as documented by Microsoft:
4. Lawsuits, UDRPs, domain fights
5. Massive branding confusing and lost business.
6. Registrars that can raise your domain renewal fees to whatever they want.
7. Restrictions. Some that have to do with a trademark clearninghouse for domains where you agree that your domain does not violate any trademark in any country in the world. Who would agree and buy a domain if this is force on you?
8. What if the TLD is not successful? Will it close and will you lose your domain? Who will run the failed TLD? Who wants the loser?
9. Many .com domains will actually make more money off the efforts of those building out their TLDs since traffic leakage is going to the .com
10. I've never sold a domain to anyone on a .net that was looking to put six figures into the domain for development. Will enough companies jump on .web, which is being hawked as probably being the most successful ones coming, to actually make the TLD successful for the domain owners on a whole?
If you had a 1M to invest and build out a domain, would you choose a .com or a new TLD? The answer for most is .com.
If you say it opens it up for others. Well, fine. It does, but so does .info, .biz, .mobi, .tel, and they all failed really. Those are relegated to the poor, misinformed, untrusted lot that use them as their business websites. I don't trust those extensions for purchases. Do you?
These are only 10 reasons. I'm sure there are plenty more.

White Chocolate Banana Cupcakes with Honey Cinnamon Frosting
It's not a banana muffin, it's a cupcake! What's the difference? Muffins have a more dense and bread-like texture. Cupcakes have a finer crumb, are more delicate and sweet. This is definitely a banana cupcake. And not just any banana cupcakes – White Chocolate Banana Cupcakes with Honey Cinnamon Frosting. Layers of flavors and a pretty presentation too.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar

- 3 Tbls. honey
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- crushed graham crackers
- banana chips
Preheat oven to 350°F and line muffin tins with 18 paper liners.
Melt white baking chips in the microwave at 10-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. The chocolate will continue to melt after removing from the microwave, so take this process slowly.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the vanilla, bananas, buttermilk and melted baking chips. Scrape down the bowl.
Slowly add the flour until all is incorporated.
Fill the 18 liners 2/3 full of batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove to wire racks to cool completely
In a stand mixer on med-high speed, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
Turn the mixer to slow and slowly add the confectioners' sugar, honey and cinnamon. Beat until smooth 5-6 minutes.
Frost the cupcakes using a pastry bag fitted with a #6B tip.
Pour the crushed graham crackers into a bowl and roll the edges of the frosted cupcakes in the graham crackers.
Add a banana chip.
Happy baking!

Enterprises, Don't Fear the Container
Enterprises, Don't Fear the Container
Containers still aren't widely understood in the world of enterprise IT. See why they need to get more attention and the benefits they can provide at the enterprise level.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Adoption of container technology has been slower than expected among enterprise software companies. Donnie Berkholz, Research Director — Development, DevOps, and IT Ops at 451 Research, notes that although container use is set to grow, currently only about 14 percent of cloud-using organizations have containers in production.Containers minimize risk and maximize agility, so what's the hold-up? Why aren't more enterprises grabbing hold of this technology?
One of the main barriers to adoption is that containers suffer from a PR problem. More specifically, containers are seen as very geeky and aren't yet widely understood by most IT professionals. The understanding of what they are and how and why they should be used – those questions still linger for far too many organizations.
However, these questions need to be answered, because a shift is needed when it comes to how we design, build, package and deploy software. Organizations are struggling with too many disparate servers, systems, and solutions that need to be brought together. They are drowning in endless integration projects while working with hundreds of software suppliers. At the same time, end customers have come to expect and require a high level of service, necessitating transformation of application infrastructure and architecture.
A mountain of maintenance and configuration work often accompanies a large enterprise's multi-vendor software supply chain. Not only are suppliers each constantly requiring this and that from the IT and operations teams, but there are also internal feature and configuration change requests to grapple with. This includes spinning up virtual machines, opening VPN tunnels, assigning IP and DNS addresses, and enabling access for one supplier to integrate with another, among other requests. And each of these can take weeks to process.
A great benefit of containers for enterprise IT is that they present an opportunity to unify the way that suppliers are required to package and deliver their solutions. If properly packaged, suppliers can deploy the entire solution to an enterprise container platform without any assistance from the IT department. They can configure the container stack from start to finish by themselves. Needless to say, they can also test the complete stack on their own development environment, one that's identical to the actual production environment. From there, all the IT department needs to do is add computing capacity to the container platform when resources run low. How cool is that?
A container platform can make cloud adoption easier for an enterprise and blur the differences between private, public and hybrid cloud infrastructures. The one-two punch of cloud and containerization offers enterprises a complete packaged solution. As analyst Robert Stroud points out, "Container adoption is being driven by the promise that containers deliver the ability to 'build once and run anywhere,' allowing increased server efficiency and scalability for technology managers."
It's true that some aspects of container technology are "geeky," so IT professionals may have a hard time making their case to leaders about why they need container technology. So, rather than focusing on the nuts and bolts of how containers work, for instance, focus on the benefits to the organization. Enterprises stand to make significant gains by adopting this technology, including reducing configuration and virtual machine set-up time and accelerating application delivery cycles. Using containers standardizes the way suppliers develop and deliver software, relieving a major headache. Other benefits are waiting to be discovered as your enterprise takes advantage of container technology.

Don't tell anyone...
It wasn't really a problem until last night. He was just nicely settling in for a marathon session when Erin's bladder started ringing alarms. Pregnant chicks, apparently, can't wait as long as you or I in that department. She was pretty desperate.
The good news is, we now know the kids' potty is strong enough to support the weight of an adult.
The bad news is, well, now YOU know about it (ah, blogging).

What's "love" got to do with it?

Funny how emotional potty training is. We are just weaning Dannika from her comfort rituals during her own marathon sessions: when she has to 'go' she runs around screaming, 'help me get ready! help me get ready!" Which translates: I need my books, my blanket, my dolls and my stool - only then does she settle down for a good half hour, sometimes longer, session with her books and the toilet. Nice break for parents I suppose, but not so good if you are pregnant...
Oh and I would argue that if she's hatching her third egg, she might be considered a hen, not a chick, if you are into the fowl-female comparatives, or maybe she would prefer pregnant bear comparatives, of course that brings to mind the whole grumpiness/don't mess with a mama bear issue and Erin is too damn sweet for that to be believable. Really don't know what a suitable animal would be for accurate Erin comparisons.
Does this also prove your short post/response ratio?

Keep your eyes open for a little bird that flutters in the pines and bushes. It's time for the Ruby-crowned Kinglets to pass through mid-Michigan on their way to the southern and southwestern United States and Mexico for the winter. These teeny, tiny birds make the chickadee look big!
|Photo taken outside Wild Birds Unlimited East Lansing, MI
They forage actively in trees or shrubs, mainly eating small insects and spiders, some berries and tree sap. They may hover over a branch while feeding and sometimes fly out to catch insects in flight. They flash their little red crest occasionally when agitated or in display.
They often come to birdfeeders if you feed suet, or a blend with nuts like the Wild Birds Unlimited No-mess Blend.
Little groups of kinglets usually migrate by night, so you may wake up to discover your yard is a migratory stopover for the birds to rest and feed in evergreen tangles during the day. They are well camouflaged but sometimes betray their presence with lovely alto songs and flashing wing movements and hops like they are buzzing on caffeine.

It sounds like I'm either describing how to tie a man's tie or trying to sing that children's song that has to do with going to Grandma's house–somewhere in the woods! 🙂 Actually, I'm describing a conversation I had with Zachary tonight concerning having a brother with special needs! Among many other things, I told him that when we encounter problems or obstacles on our life's path, we need to look UP and ask God to help us! He will then usually do one of three things:
- He will remove the problem, and we will be able to keep walking without being hindered!
- He will not do anything about the problem — let's call it an obstacle — but he will give us grace to go THROUGH it!
- Or…contrary to modern thinking… He will have us stay IN the problem for a while so we can know more of His grace, mercy and power!
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego
Like many of those mentioned in the Scriptures, He chose to have them stay IN the problem. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego had to go IN the fiery furnace. BUT GOD…was there with them. When they escaped, it says not even their clothes smelled of smoke. How is that for deliverance!?
Paul, even though he asked the Lord three times to remove it, had to live with the "thorn in his flesh!" We don't know exactly what that was, but we do know that God used it to manifest his grace. He said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (II Cor. 12:9). With that said, Paul decided he would rather have the thorn in his flesh and glory in the fact that Christ's power would become more evident in his life.
The Rest of Us
As I sat listening to my 11-year-old son articulate his raw emotions in such a mature way, I wanted to cry (which I did later) and let him know that it will all get easier.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" (II Cor. 4:17)!
One day … Andrew's physical body will be free cerebral palsy that causes him to walk funny and which causes his feet to hurt. One day … Andrew will be free from periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) that causes him to be mentally handicapped. One day … Andrew's behavioral problems will not be an issue. One day … Andrew won't be made fun of by those who don't know him.
One day we will all be able to see clearly, but until that day….we need to know that God is in control! Sometimes He calms the storm; other times He calms child!

To recap the 6 Dental New Year's Resolutions:
- Tweak Your Technique—Try flossing first, before your 2-minute brushing in the morning at night. Treat yourself to a Sonicare with a 2-minute timer and check yourself! Healthy gums don't bleed.
- Rethink Your Drink— There are loads of sugar in most drinks and frequency is key. If you must have a sugary drink, do so with a meal and drink water or brush afterwards. The sugar and acidic content creates a perfect environment for decay. Even the diet drinks!
- Face Your Fears!--If you have been putting off dental treatment, schedule to get it done before it causes a problem. Usually by then the treatment is more costly financially and emotionally.
- Kick the Habit! Quit smoking or using any tobacco products. Not only does it cause cancer, it also increases the risk of periodontal disease, bad breath and stained teeth. As an alternative to the cravings, try a xylitol containing gum, mints, etc. They can be purchased on Amazon or at www.DrJohns.com.
- Wear Your Nightguard! If you have a nightguard and aren't wearing one get it out and start! If you think you grind or clench your teeth, inquire with your dentist about getting a nightguard. Prevention is Key!
- Schedule An Appointment! Find a Dentist you Trust! Read Online Reviews. Educate yourself on your oral health. Not only do regular visits examine your mouth for cavities and gum disease, but also screen for oral cancer, blood pressure and sleep apnea. Take care of yourself and your smile!
We are accepting New Patients at James River Family Dentistry. If you are interested in scheduling, please call us at 804-323-4200. We look forward to meeting you!

34 comments for "Catch & Release"
What beautiful daydreams I will have today as I set sail for the office! Thanks!
I like what you "catch" and I didn't know about the goldfish bread! So cute!
Love this, again you hit it out of the park. The fish used as wine cooler looks like it has a hook in its mouth, clever. Do you know where the fish corkscrew came from? Hubby would enjoy that. Suzi firstname.lastname@example.com
I giggled all the way through your "catching" post. :D :D Fun and pretty, too!
Love the goldfish bread. We have a little guy next door who would love this! So, so cute, Mary, and VERY *punny* post! ;P
this was made for me, 113 degrees… like i wouldn't love a lakeside splash ;-)
Mary, you have got to publish a book with all of these creative posts. The prose and the images would make a fantastic coffee table book. Your creative touch to every detail amazes me with each new post. There is always something new and exciting to view. I admire your creative energy and beautiful spirit. "Reeling" in lots of pleasure from this one! ~ Sarah
Clever Mary. Love the fishing funnies. I have not fished in years but grew up on Clark's Hill Lake in S.C. and caught my first fish at age two. I was a natural but now I lack patience I am told. Would rather read a book. hugs sweetie, Olive
Clever…Clever…Clever!!! This whole post is very clever and all of the photos are wonderful….but I love the shadow of the 'fish wine glass' over the map the best! You have a knack for putting together very clever posts, Mary! I have quite a bit of 'fish related' items but have never done much with them as far as taking pictures… Need to get off my okole and get creative.
How do you do it??? Every single week you inspire me. And delight me too. Your commentary is always as wonderful as the details of your tables. I think yiou should write a book!!!! Thanks for another special post. XO, Pinky
And the school of "shadowfish". Every detail is terrific!
I MUCH prefer your kind of fishing Mary!! I especially love that you found fish shaped BREAD! Now, I am going to go on a search for that too!! What a beautiful setting your dock is…your neighbors must just sit on their lawns and watch you coming out with all of your supplies!! I love it!!
So fun! I too prefer your kind of fishing. I love how you added the snacks. Very fun.
– The Tablescaper
Now, that's my kind of fishing. I do however love watching Hubby and the children fish. I can sit and observe and take some really good photos.
This is very fishy Mary ;o) Love the theme! Joe gifted me with two Sweedish Pimple fishing lures for my birthday yesterday, and I'm telling ya, I usually catch bigger fish than Joe with those lures. I also like the Panther Martin lures. We're getting ready to do some "competitive" fishing tomorrow. LOL Love this post!
Mary, I think I'm looking at a magazine when I see your posts! Gosh, I love how you dream up tablescapes! I really like your "catch" in the fish planter and all your other goodies. Too cute!!
Very cute Mary! My idea of fishing mirrors yours! Cute fish dishes and I'm so glad you reeled in that bottle of wine-enjoy:@)
What an adorable fishing table! Love the red and blue and all the fish, edible or otherwise! Cute holder for the wine bottle, too! Always clever, Mary!
Absolutely adorable…
Delightful! I'm not so much in to fishing, but I would just to do a "copyscape". Thanks for sharing your creativity. I am ALWAYS inspired.
This is fabulous and so clever! I totally approve and agree with your ideas on fishing! Your way is so much better!
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful space at Potpourri Friday at 2805!
You are so clever! Loved reading your words, as much as your pretty photos. I looked and looked at those metal plates at Pottery Barn. I loved them so much but just couldn't think what I would do with them. I have never seen this goldfish bread! I can't wait to pick some up for when my goldfish loving nephew comes. That planter looks great as a wine color. Your tables are always a delight!
This has to be the catch of the day! Sweet Mister would love this one, and he's doesn't impress easily. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
Great table! I have not seen that gold fish bread before and will be sure to look for it now. Love that big fish holding the wine bottle and your vintage minnow bucket too. I can always count on being amazed when I come to visit you!
Susan and Bentley
LOVE IT!! All your fish related items are so much fun. I'm with you.. I'd rather fish than catch, and I could certainly "fish" around in the fish's mouth for that bottle of wine, right now. So cute. Love the fish cork screw,too.
Wonderfully creative, Mary! Love all your fishy accoutrements. The wine bottle in the fish, too cute!
Thanks for linking your catch of the day to Let's Dish!
This is the table my husband would love every night! You always do such cool creative tables, Mary.
Hi Mary, We are finally home where I have internet and a keyboard and I can visit all my friends! We were in fly fishing country–far north of NH–and I did indulge in my favorite Italian Pinot Grigio! Your table is perfect for my kind of fishing and I do love the little PB pewter fish plates. I'll be looking for some of the goldfish bread. Linda

For those who were creeped out by the Knoxville mannequin, well now i've outdone myself! Just like Jackass has taken their game to a whole new level with 3D, i've taken mine to a new level...the Jeff Tremaine sex doll! Though I can't take full credit for this doozy, because Mr. Julien Nitzberg(genius behind The Wild Whites of West Virginia) came up with the idea. He suggested I make one, and he would hand deliver it to Mr. Knoxville himself(for reasons only to be kept secret).
The prank: Gather the Jackass gang (exclude Mr. Tremaine) with only Mr. Knoxville and Mr. Tremaine in on the prank.
- State that a custom Jeff Tremaine sex doll has been created and as a gift from the cast to give to their humble father figure director. Mr. Knoxville then explains to his fellow colleagues that before this exotic gift is given to Mr. Tremaine, each cast member can have their "way" with it. Thus giving a used Jeff Tremaine sex doll to the real Mr. Jeff Tremaine!
- When the crate supposedly carrying the Tremaine sex doll is delivered to the cast, Jeff Tremaine in the flesh is really in the crate(bum naked flesh that is).
- The cast will then be informed the many "embellished" perks of the doll, for example, anus smells like vanilla, or the doll comes with flour to perform the "Poof"
- the crate holding a thought to be sex doll (but with the real Mr. Tremaine inside) will have only one circular hole in it. A hole with an arrow the reads "Try Me!"
- Cast members are then encouraged to reach inside, either using hands/other body parts or to take a peak inside with their face. Thus feeling around, grabbing at a naked, hopefully aroused Mr. Jeff Tremaine. If a cast members head peers in to inspect the quality work of this doll, just maybe will they experience a "Poof" in the face( that's if Mr. Tremaine's up for the task)
What waits inside, only a naked Jeff Tremaine knows!

"The Curve of Forgetting" is something I speak to all of my students about early in the semester. It is a powerful piece of information and it's application can make a huge difference in grades. This chart is a visual representation of what happens to a person's memory when they listen to a lecture. As they listen, the curve steadily increases until it reaches 100% of whatever he or she will know, however well they will know it. As you can see, after the lecture the curve takes a rapid and steady decline when the student does nothing to try to retain it. By day 2, if the information has not been revisited in any way, 50-80% will be lost! After 30 days, only 2-3% of the original information is still hanging on. This may coincide with an exam date, and the student has to relearn almost 100% of the information that could have simply been retained with a little effort.
The reason this happens has to do with the instability of our short-term memory. This part of our memory is limited to just five to nine items, so our brains are constantly tossing items out to prevent the short term memory from getting too full. Therefore, if you want to keep a memory, you need to convert it to a long term memory. How does that happen? Quite simply, through repetition. Long term memory is created when chemical messages in the brain create a "neural network." The more these connections are used, the stronger the network becomes. The author of a book titled The Brain in Action equates it with being similar to creating a path in the woods. "The first time you create a path, it is rough and overgrown. The next time you use it, it's easier to travel because you have previously walked over the weeds and moved the obstacles. Each time thereafter, it gets smoother and smoother. In a similar fashion, the neural networks get more efficient, and messages travel more swiftly" (2). In other words, the more time you give "memory making" the easier it will be for you to access that memory.
If we apply this understanding to the lecture represented in the graph, we know that we must immediately begin giving our brains a hint that we want to retain that information. As you can see from the yellow line on the graph, a brief review within the first 24 hours gives your memory a fantastic boost, almost up to that 100% again. A week later, it only takes 5 minutes to reactivate the information and bump up the curve. If you continue to repeat regular reviews, you have worn a smoother path and given your brain plenty of hints that the information should be kept.
If you don't do this, you will spend about an hour relearning each hour worth of lecture material. Therefore, it is actually a great use of your time to spend a few minutes reviewing material regularly. Another advantage is that this method decreases test anxiety because the information is in the long term memory, rather than the unstable short term memory.
Do yourself a favor and try this for a couple of weeks and then, do me a favor in return…. let me know what you think!

The well-known group Human Rights Watch says that the unsolved problem of "subpar" medical care in federal immigrant detention centers is about to get a whole lot worse under President Donald Trump.
The group followed up on its findings from last summer of inadequate or callous medical care in existing facilities with a new report that says suffering and death by immigrants will likely increase.
The 104-page report released on Monday, "Systemic Indifference," repackages and expands on HRW's 2016 findings, which were based on data from 18 death investigations released last June by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau.
Two independent doctors who examined the ICE documents for HRW and another group, Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement, found that 16 of the 18 cases involved "substandard medical practices."
Seven of the 18 deceased detainees had "subpar" treatment that contributed to their deaths, the experts say.
Now that Trump's been elected and is carrying out his vision for tougher immigration policies, HRW sees a crisis on the horizon.
Following his immigrant-bashing campaign, Trump signed a series of executive orders after taking office. They included more enforcement and a corresponding expansion of federal detention centers for immigrants.
"The data reveals that people in immigration detention died needlessly under the Obama administration, even with its attempts at reforms," Grace Meng, HRW senior researcher, said in a written statement.
"The Trump administration has already announced its intent to roll back key reforms while detaining even more immigrants, which would likely mean more people will die needless and preventable deaths," she added in the statement.
The group claims the problem is acute at the federal immigration detention facility in Eloy, Arizona, which is run by the private-prison company Corrections Corporation of America/CoreCivic. The facility has experienced 15 detainee deaths since 2003, more than any other facility.
ICE's own death reports show that emergency medical care for three of four detainees who died at the Eloy facility between 2012 and 2015 had been delayed, the group says.
The new HRW report, and the group's July report, give detailed information about the deaths. The findings also include comments from the medical experts, Dr. Allen Keller, an associate professor of medicine and rights activist from New York City, and Dr. Marc Stern, a correctional health expert who's worked for the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
The July report itself followed numerous reports in the news media and by activist groups about conditions at immigrant detention centers.
The tragic stories include instances of mentally ill people committing suicide successfully after previous attempts, and inmates afflicted by cancer, heart attack, or stroke who allegedly could have survived with better health care.
Three of the deaths were suicides that occurred after repeated previous attempts by the detainee. Two of those cases involved mentally ill people who were held for long periods of solitary confinement.
For instance, Tiombe Carlos, a native of the Caribbean nation of Antigua-Barbuda who was diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia in New York when she was 14, had her permanent legal residency revoked after being arrested for a bar fight, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In the months before she hanged herself in 2013 at age 34, the HRW reports states, she had been in solitary confinement twice, including once for about two and a half months.
One death considered "very likely preventable" was that of Manuel Cota-Domingo, 34. The man entered the Eloy detention facility with a plastic bag full of diabetes drugs, but it was put in a locker.
He told the facility's staff that he didn't need insulin or was diabetic because he was worried about having to pay for expensive treatment, his cousin later told officials. Treatment at the facilities actually don't cost immigrants anything.
One night in December 2012, Cota-Domingo began to have trouble breathing.
"His cellmate began to bang his cell door and call for help at about 11 p.m.," the HRW report says. Correctional officers finally responded at 2 a.m. But a policy dictated who could call 911 — and apparently, it was none of the staff members there at the time.
The staff decided to send him to a hospital in a van. He arrived at the hospital eight hours after his breathing problem began, and was pronounced dead a few days later.
About half the deaths were at county jails, which are frequently used by the feds to temporarily house immigrants.
Stern, the correctional health expert, tells Phoenix New Times somewhat tongue-in-cheek that "on the positive side, I never found the jails discriminate in their medical care."
That is, he explained, county jail medical care across the country is usually substandard. If anything, immigrants get treated slightly better in county jails because they're subject to federal oversight, he said.
Stern said the worst part of examining the reports for HRW was realizing how many deaths could have been avoided.
Yet Stern added that the medical staff at ICE facilities don't employ "bad people." Rather, they follow "bad systems."
In the case of Cota-Domingo, he said, confusion reigned. Some staff members thought the nurses should call 911, and vice-versa.
"I'm sure none of those people wanted someone to die," he said.
Medical care at ICE facilities is handled by ICE Health Service Corps, a division of U.S. Health and Human Services, and it's "generally good," Stern said.
Eloy, located between Phoenix and Tucson, probably has more difficulties recruiting top-quality doctors and nurses because it's not located near a city center, he said.
ICE detention facilities nationwide hold about 41,000 detainees on any given day.
Trump's enforcement priorities call for increased detention of immigrants, HRW notes, both through tougher policies regarding detention and the planned construction of more facilities. His administration is rolling back oversight that President Obama had put in place — oversight that already had been deemed inadequate by the group.
Trump has also decided to reverse a Department of Justice decision to stop using private companies to run detention centers.
All of this "raises serious concerns that the problems fueling the unnecessary suffering could grow even worse," the group says.
HRW's report makes a number of suggested changes to improve ICE's record, including releasing more immigrants who are awaiting court dates. The group also wants to see improvement in data collection, investigations of grievances by detainees, and facility staff trained on better policies and practices.
Jennifer Elzea, ICE deputy press secretary, said the agency will review the report and decide if any changes should be made.
"ICE is committed to ensuring the welfare of all those in the agency's custody, including providing access to necessary and appropriate medical care," she said in a statement released to New Times. "Comprehensive medical care is provided to all individuals in ICE custody."

The agency utilizes licensed health care workers including doctors, dentists, nurses, physician's assistants, and many others, she said, all providing 24/7 care that costs U.S. taxpayers more than $180 million each year.
A "multi-layered inspections program" keeps the facilities at a proper standard, she said.
That oversight is provided in part by ICE officials, and also by the DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Elzea said.

What would you do for a royal romance?
From bestselling author Julianne MacLean comes a new series brimming with the lavish romance of the Regency period—and the dangerous passions of royals in love …
Attention one and all. His Royal Highness, Prince Randolph of Petersbourg, will set sail for London in early June and reside at St. James's Palace for one full month…Some say the true motive for the prince's visit to our fair country is to seek and marry his future queen. I will therefore pose the question to our devoted and reflective readers: Who among us will be the chosen one? —From the London Ballroom Society Pages
Lady Alexandra Monroe has been told in no uncertain terms that she must set her sights on a proposal from Prince Randolph to better her family's situation. Instead, she finds herself falling for his charming but dangerous younger brother Nicholas, a man whose passionate nature—and irresistible good looks—makes it impossible to remember her duty. But while she is torn between ambition and desire, a wicked scandal brews, shocking secrets are revealed, and soon she begins to wonder: can true love really conquer all?

"Nothing gets me to a checkout counter in a local bookstore than one of Julianne MacLean's novels. I know that I cannot go wrong with anything written by her. BE MY PRINCE surpasses my expectations. It is a phenomenal read; one that I just could not put down. I am not normally much for romance novels that focus on royalty, but I will admit that BE MY PRINCE sheds a whole new light on the plotline for me. All I can say is bring me more. I will be waiting patiently for the next book in THE ROYAL TRILOGY series."

Although not a Kananaskis Country book, the amazing wildlife book The Will of the Land by Peter Dettling of Canmore is worthy of your attention and will make a fine Christmas present for anyone interested in Canadian Rockies wildlife.
Naturalist Charles Russell in reviewing the books says: "Never have I picked up a book with such wonderful pictures and then pleasantly discover that the writing equaled the images. Peter Dettling's work is about his love of the land. His love for the Canadian Rocky Mountain National Parks dictated to him that he say something about what is happening to Banff & Co. from the perspective of someone who cares deeply and understands what stewardship could look like if it did not always carter to business. " The Will of the Land " will be a delight for all those who want to see the Mountain Parks' splendor through the eyes of an artist and at the same time have a way to understand the pitfalls of what happens when human commerce is allowed to run rampant."
Peter Dettling, commenting on the cover photo says, "This is without a doubt the most sensational wildlife behaviour image in my career as a nature photographer. The wolf and grizzly are so close to each other without, at this point, showing aggression. It's a once-in-a-lifetime situation." In a moment of truce between two combatants after a long day of chases and fights (over an elk carcass) between nine wolves and a lone bear, the lead wolf stepped toward the bear until they nearly touched noses. "I was the the sole, if hidden, spectator," says Dettling, who observed and photographed the family of wolves in Banff National Park in Alberta from late 2006 to 2010, a project that changed his life, he says. "And it certainly changed the way I see wolves and bears."
Detling says, "Highly questionable management practices, industrial tourism and ill-conceived transportation routes have created a sinkhole rather than a stronghold for such iconic wildlife species as moose, wolves, bears or the endangered mountain (woodland) caribou. Ultimately, however, my book raises two questions: What is the purpose of a national park in the 21st century? and How does our modern society values the natural world in general? Questions, which should not to be underestimated in their importance.
Check out this trailer which shows some of the stunning pictures.

By Anthony Lilles
This book is especially for those who want to deepen their life of prayer. The type of prayer Anthony Lilles describes beholds the wonder of Christ's living but hidden presence in one's highest thoughts and most noble aspirations as well as in one's instinctual urges and deepest longings. The ecstasy of this kind of prayer extends beyond even the vast unexplored horizons of the human heart and opens to an immensity of such excessive mercy that all else is forgotten -- and only love remains.
The whole world needs this love: it is the secret garden, the hidden mountain, the inexhaustible riches only prayer knows and an excess of grace only prayer can make known. This is why St. John Paul II told the Church not to be afraid to open wide the doors of our hearts to Christ, and it is why he told the world's young people to be proud to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord. For those who want to faithfully open their hearts to the Lord, this book will encourage you.
This is a wonderful book for those in all stages of the spirirtual life, full of practical advice.

Age spots or sun spots can be a real concern, especially as we get older. Liver spots are the most obvious indication of melanin overproduction on your skin (also known as hyper-pigmentation).
A little sun is great for getting some vitamin D. but you should get out before you get even a little pink. While we all feel that a suntan is healthy, but the truth is even a little bit of color is a sign of injury to the epidermis.
By the time you look tanned, damage has already been done. The more sun exposure, the more likely you'll have an increasing number of dark spots showing up as you get older.
The good news is there is something you can do to get rid of age spots on your face and all over!
By nourishing your skin with the antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and other essential nutrients it needs, you can begin to rejuvenate the delicate balance and tone to reduce hyper pigmentation and to help get rid of dark spots.
You can renew a more youthful appearance by using organic skin care for your face and entire body.
Natural organics will aid in your body's natural ability to heal itself and reduce inflammation to calm the signs of aging.
By using organic products without toxic chemicals, you will aid in reducing the appearance of hyper-pigmentation and sun spots without jeopardizing your overall health!
The hardest part is truly getting an answer as to why they appear. So many just lump the idea of this hyper-pigmentation (fancy word for dark colored skin) into an automatic sign of aging without asking what is truly causing it.
In doing more research we were to find that these spots are also called liver spots due to the direct correlation of a overly burdened liver. So what this really means is that there is a good chance if you are getting these spots on your hands, face or anywhere else on your body, you might be overworking your liver.
(By the way, it may be called Age Spots but it isn't uncommon to see them in people as young as their 20's if they aren't taking good care of their livers. Trust me -- I got them on my hands in my 20's from certain birth control meds.)
While the liver is a very important part of developing hyperpigmentation, there are a few other factors that can come into play:
In reading this list, just know that it could be one or a combination of any of the above that could cause this change in your skin.
There are two very different ideas on treating these pesky spots: Externally & Internally
Let's start with the way that western medicine and the beauty industry wants us to...externally.
If we look at these bits of extra pigment in our skin as something that is just an annoyance, then we can say that a bit of topical creams or even something more drastic like chemical peels and lasers are the way to 'remove' the problem at hand. Basically nothing a bit of extra aggressive exfoliation won't cure.
(Don't get me wrong, I went the route of having a few peels to remove huge brown spots from my forehead, cheeks and, yes, mustache areas. They worked wonders until I went back in the sun and they came back. I was forever wearing sunblock and hiding from the sun to keep my pearly white complexion when I went this route.)
As you can see from the story above, this is quite an effective route for an easy, temporary fix which might be what you need at the moment. (If you do, I don't judge because I've been there.) If so, you may want to try one of the many spot lightening creams out there. I just have to warn you that if you have sensitive skin, they can be rather drying and quite irritating.
If you'd like to start with something a bit more natural, I can't blame you. Here's a simple treatment you can start with that you probably already have the ingredients in your cupboard.
If this seems more work than you've got time for, then the age spots treatments creams below might be easier to use:
If you're intruiged with the true cause of what's going on in your body that caused this, then the internal approach is the way to go. You can start by taking a look at yourself in a more holistic picture.
If you've answered yes to more than one of these options then you might want to try one of the many solutions out there to cleanse not only your liver but also the other major organs of your body.
You can start with something simple like adding raw vegetable or goji juice and dandelion root to your diet.
