The Road Less Traveled
Preston Stallings was recognized at the Samuel Miller Dinner on Friday, April 13 with the Samuel Miller Medal for his nearly fifty years of service to MSA and the youth of Albemarle County. The Samuel Miller Medal is the highest honor the school bestows and has been awarded to leaders in Charlottesville for the past twenty-three years. It recognizes one person each year who embodies the generosity and vision of MSA's founder, Samuel Miller.
The Samuel Miller Dinner was held in Old Main on a beautiful spring evening. Mr. Stallings' latest contribution to Miller School of Albemarle is the new main entrance (see video below), which appropriately opened on the same day in honor of Mr. Stallings.
Read a full transcript of the introduction speech given in honor of Mr. Stallings' service to MSA below.
The Road Less Traveled: Introduction Remarks in Honor of Preston Stallings
When I learned I had been given the honor of introducing Mr. Preston Stallings tonight, I quickly knew I had some problems: One, I would need assistance crafting this introduction--for Mr. Stallings' service to Miller School spans nearly fifty years. Moreover, he may well be the most modest man in Albemarle county and would not be all that forthcoming if I asked him to discuss his many contributions to this school. Two, I knew that no matter how much research I did, my remarks, at best, could only offer a small branch of gratitude to a man who has been a "giving tree" to MSA for so many years. I apologize in advance for what can only capture a glimmer of the many rays of Mr. Stallings' generosity and service to this school and the surrounding community.
Tonight, I want to talk about a road. We all had the pleasure of driving up a new road this evening--a road that provides safe passage to the Hill and a view of Old Main and Caton Hall that finally does justice to the beauty and majesty of these architectural landmarks. Those of us sitting here are the first to experience the awe of driving up the new road, which from this point forward will be the first impression people have of Miller School. This road is truly worthy of admiration and praise--just like the man who envisioned it and led its construction.
However, it is not the new main entrance that I'm here to discuss. Rather, I want to talk about "The Road Not Taken."
I'm an English teacher. I study and teach poetry every year to engaged students from all around the world. One poem that my students frequently choose to memorize for our annual Poetry Out Loud competition is Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken." I suspect that many of you are familiar with its famous concluding lines:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Literary critics have offered countless interpretations of this poem and what the road "less traveled by" means. It was, however, not until a few months ago that I began to understand Frost's "road"--when UVA English professor Mark Edmundson, who happens to live just down the road in Batesville, gave a lecture to our students. The professor spoke about two ways we can live our lives. The first option is to live a life of self. The second option is to live a life of soul. The life of self is the road most people take, and that is normal and understandable, but it is also easier. The life of soul is a road taken less often because it is more difficult. According to Prof. Edmundson it is a life guided by three virtues: courage, wisdom, and compassion.
As I listened to this lecture, I could not help picturing Mr. Stallings driving his silver truck up the road of what this professor referred to as the life of soul, for it is hard to imagine someone who is a better example of a person who has devoted his life to courage, wisdom, and compassion.
Let's start with courage.
It is easy to list the many courageous acts that Mr. Stallings has done so far in life. We could talk about how shortly after the death of his father when Preston was only 10-years-old, he packed his bags and left home to live and work at the new and no doubt for him the somewhat intimidating world of what was then called the Miller School of Manual Labor. We could look back to a young man who served his country in the United States Army. We could discuss Mr. Stallings' courage as a businessman--his willingness to take risk after risk in business and real estate ventures--always having confidence in his own vision and skills to make a project succeed. These would be appropriate topics to discuss tonight, since most overlap with examples of courage that Mr. Stallings shares with Samuel Miller.
However, the example of Mr. Stallings' courage that is the most relevant to those of us here tonight took place in 1970s. It was courage at its finest, and courage in its purest form. Mr. Stallings stood up for and took care of something that had fallen on bad times and was at its weakest. Preston Stallings, still early in his own career, was called back to his alma mater to help close its doors for good. Miller School, like many schools at the time, was suffering great financial hardships, and its grand buildings were weighed down by years of deferred maintenance. The school had arrived at its saddest moment. The most obvious road to take, and the road taken by most other schools in Virginia at that time, was to close Miller School.
Fortunately, Mr. Stallings had the courage to stand up for Miller School and use his own resources to protect and preserve his alma mater. Like Samuel Miller, who founded Miller School to help children in Albemarle county who were going through a difficult time, Preston Stallings reached out and lent a hand to a school when most people were looking the other way. Miller School faced "two roads in the woods" in 1970s, and Mr. Stallings led the charge down the one "less traveled by" and "made all the difference in the world."
Let's turn now to wisdom
Preston Stallings is one of the most capable, generous, and accomplished sons Miller School has ever produced. In his incredible work ethic and willingness to share his success with others, he reminds me of no one so much as Samuel Miller himself. Mr. Stallings and his brother came from humble beginnings and managed to use their industry and intellect to achieve success. His renown in the Charlottesville region, not to mention state-wide, attests to the high esteem in which professionals hold him. He learned his lessons well at MSA and capitalized on the breadth of his knowledge to become one of the foremost contractors and property managers in Central Virginia. One only has to drive through the Charlottesville-Albemarle area to note the long list of custom homes, apartment complexes, and commercial buildings that Mr. Stallings built. He also served as President of the Virginia Home Builders Association for many years. In talking about his success, Mr. Stallings is quick to point out that he learned many of his skills at Miller School. His knowledge and wisdom are what have made it possible time and again for him to choose "the road less travelled." While others have taken the easy way out by sticking to conventional paths, Mr. Stallings has had the insight to branch off on his own. Like many, Miller School has benefited from the wisdom of his choices
And, finally, let's turn to compassion.
Mr. Stallings is a shining example of the generosity and compassion students develop from their experience at Miller School. He demonstrates daily his dedication to MSA, its mission, and its future.
He has served on the Board of Trustees for over 20 years. In that time he has been a leader by chairing committees, most notably, the Building and Grounds Committee. At one point, when there was an abrupt change in the leadership of the Board, Mr. Stallings agreed to step in on short notice and serve as Board Chair with no fuss and no fanfare. He continues to serve with distinction and oversees every building and capital improvement project on the campus. Those who live, work, or serve on the campus have never known a week when Preston has not been on the campus at least four or five times to check on progress in specific projects. He has been actively involved in many of the key renovations on campus: here in Old Main, the renovation of Alumni Gym, the construction of faculty housing, the retaining wall around the powerhouse, the renovation of the baseball field, and the new entrance road. While Mr. Stallings always helps with a suggestion on how to do things, he is just as quick to roll up his sleeves and pitch in with the physical labor itself. In countless ways, he shows how much he genuinely cares about Miller School.
What might Samuel Miller have said about Preston Stallings? As we all know, Mr. Miller was, like Mr. Stallings, a man of few words. So he probably would have looked at Mr. Stallings' life and said a simple: "well done." But coming from Samuel Miller, those two words would have spoken volumes. If you are lucky enough to know Mr. Stallings personally, you are aware that he too doesn't need volumes to express his thoughts. Mr. Stallings has let his actions speak louder than his words. In addition to his time and talent, he has contributed great sums to support the work of the school. He is a quiet donor who helps the school when it needs help the most. Many people have no idea how often he and his wife Diane help support the school. In his work as a Board Member, he fulfills one responsibility extremely well by convincing others to donate to the school. When a generous donor came forward to help complete the fundraising for the new entrance road by offering a large sum on a matching basis, Preston and Diane responded immediately to help the school match that gift. On another occasion when he learned that a deserving child had applied to the school, but that the financial aid budget for the year was exhausted, Preston immediately went to someone he knew to secure those funds, so that the child could enroll. Others would have just let things run their course, but, once again, Mr. Stallings set out on the "road less travelled."
Mr. France once told me, "You will also notice that Preston has a constant twinkle in his eye, which can disarm tension or help you see that all of this is fun. That twinkle keeps all his great work on an even keel, enabling all of our oars to push forward."
So, how has Preston Stalling's decision to "take the road less traveled" made a positive impact on the lives of children in our region? He has helped to preserve and promote one of the finest academic institutions in the country – Miller School of Albemarle. He makes it a habit to know the students, the faculty, the staff, and the administration, all the while offering his solid common sense to solve problems and challenges. He shares his success with individuals and the school at every turn.
Mr. Stallings, because you have taken "the road less traveled by" and lived your life devoted to courage, wisdom, and compassion, you have, in fact, "made all the difference" at the Miller School.
Let us use this moment to recognize one of the finest products of Samuel Miller's dream – Preston Stallings.

Neil Patrick Harris was officially named to be the host of the upcoming 2011 Tony Awards, which will be held at the Beacon Theater in New York City on June 12, 2011.
The 65th annual Tony Awards will be aired live at CBS, with Al Pacino and the play "The Book of Mormon" leading the nominations, as announced early this month.
"I'm honored and stoked to have been asked to host the 2011 Tony Awards," Neil Patrick Harris was quoted as saying at Entertainment Weekly on Tuesday, May 10.
"It should be a great show – we've got a fantastic mix of live performances, a few secret surprises and since they're closed for retooling, we're using all the rigging equipment from Spider-Man. What could possibly go wrong?" Harris added.
Neil Patrick Harris, 37, also hosted the 63rd annual Tony Awards back in June 2009, where he won the Creative Arts Emmy award in 2010.
Harris, who was known for the title role in ABC's Doogie Howser, M.D. for four seasons, where he played a 16-year old doctor, from 1989 to 1993, also landed a role at CBS' comedy show "How I Met Your Mother".

We're More Likely to Die on Our Birthdays, Says Study, So We'd Better Start Planning Our Death Day Parties
An awful lot of famous people have died on their birthdays: Shakespeare, Betty Friedan, Ingrid Bergman, Machine Gun Kelly… the list goes on. But does that actually mean that people in general are more likely to die on their birthdays? According to a new study, the answer is actually yes. Interesting, no?
The study was conducted by Pablo Pena of the University of Chicago; he plans to publish his research in the February 2015 issue of the journal Social Science & Medicine. According to the Washington Post, here's how it went down:
Pena got a hold of the Social Security Administration records for 25 million people who died between the years of 1998 and 2011. As WaPo notes, the records themselves don't give you anything but numbers — they don't, for example, "provide information on the cause of deaths or characteristics of the departed" — but they do bring a few patterns to light. It turns out that the largest age group more likely to die on their birthdays — by 25.49 percent — are those in the 20 to 29 range; at 23.6 percent, the 30-to-39 age group is relatively closely behind. Head on over to WaPo for a handy graph showing how the percentages stack up for each age group according to decade — but for the curious, the main take away is that every other group above and below those in their 20s and 30s show lower percentages arrange roughly in a curve. Why does that curve exist? Pena speculates that it might be "a sign of birthday celebrations gone wrong." So, uh… maybe take it easy on your birthday this year if you're between the ages of 20 and 39? Or something?
The good news, though — insofar as information about our inevitable ends can be considered good news — is that this probability is slightly lower than a similar study found a few years ago. In 2012, research published in the Annals of Epidemiology found that people over 60 were 14 percent more likely to die on their birthday; additionally, heart attacks and strokes (although, as The Mary Sue noted at the time, not necessarily fatal ones) were up 18.6 percent and 21.5 prcent on birthdays. Suicides were also found to be more likely to occur on birthdays (34.9 percent), as were falls (44 percent).
But as always, what we don't know (yet!) is what factor or factors might account for this change. It's worth noting that Pena's sample size was, according to him, about 10 times larger than the 2012 one, which almost certainly had something to do with it; he also wrote, however, that more research is required to figure out why the link between birthdays and deaths exist. I'll be waiting for that study to emerge — I'm weirdly fascinated by the whole thing, and I'd love to see what else they find.
In the meantime, though, know that if I die on my birthday, I'm totally coming back Hogwarts ghost-style and planning the death day party to end all death day parties. What better way to cope with it than with a shindig of epic proportions?

Definition of ePortfolios via Charts
I think these two graphs that Helen Barrett reposted from New Zealand educator Nick Rate's blog do an outstanding job of explaining ePortfolios in a VERY simple manner. I created a longish, boring, 8 minute video on ePortfolios that wasn't nearly as effective as these two charts. Thanks to Helen for posting and props to Nick on his fine work.
1 comment:
Hi, Matt,ReplyDelete
As much as I may agree with the first graph, I would suggest that the second graph needs serious re-thinking. Surely in the early years, even Pre-school, the e-Portfolio is used primarily as a showcase?
For Health Visitors, Social services etc the e-Portfolio is an excellent identifier of family context and 'milestones' even before the child is placed in school.
Once the child is in school the e-Portfolio is very much a repository of 'best practice' whereby permitted adults are able to see what the child has done in class, or, for that matter where the teacher can see what the child has done at home or on vacation etc.
Best Wishes,
Ray T

Locksmiths can play a major role in the every day running of many businesses large and small having said that are also vital to your domestic or residential client and offer many services from emergency lock repairs to gaining access to you home after a lock out.
Nearly all locksmiths offer both domestic and commercial services because to a professionally trained locksmith is actually not all the same; a lock is often a lock whether it's on a residential or commercial property so if you have had a break-in or an attempted break-in and just need locks replacing you don't must have to tell the locksmith that can a residential job or a commercial job.
Boarding up can be a different job depending on the premises being commercial or domestic, most domestic boarding up simply requires standard sizes of board and standard tools and equipment, but a commercial premises especially a shop with large display windows can require large, specially designed boards and special equipment for securing the board, that your locksmith or a security firm may not carry on their vehicles as standard, so it is smart to make without the emergency locksmith you call recognises that he or she is coming out a few commercial premises, shop or office building otherwise they might turn up rather than have the correct boarding up equipment with them with their vehicle.
This can produce longer waits a person personally and a larger bill, remember even locksmiths who state that they don't charge a basic on-site visit fee will charge you for the time it takes them to out the boarding up job and in case the locksmiths are driving backwards and forwards through no fault of their purchased it is you or even your company who may have to foot the bill.
It likewise important to consider that not every locksmiths actually carry out an emergency boarding up service may should make that task quite a service they do actually offer by looking on their webpage before you ring them and additionally you need particular that that the locksmith you call out knows just what type of call out it is actually he or she deliver the correct tools and equipment for the job.
So, whether you have had your office or house broken into, your home, office or shop window damaged a person simply need locksmith to get you in to your own home after losing or misplacing your keys it is important that you are care when choosing a local locksmith arrive out for you as not every company provides each same service and a rule of thumb is in order to should always call an area independent locksmith and never call a nationwide call centre.
A nationwide call centre will charge a on-site visit fee, whereas many independent locksmiths will not, remember; all a nationwide call centre can perform is ring a locksmith on their books around the behalf and add their percentage towards job. Another big issue sufferers have with substantial call centres is these people will state they have locksmiths in all areas when extravagant the nearest locksmith on the books possibly be 50 perhaps 100 miles away ending in a much longer wait.

For years my mom has asked my to write a book about my life as a first generation, albeit tail end, PKU patient, a depression sufferer, a domestic violence survivor, a female disabled traveler and now a pageant queen, but I've avoiding doing it. I don't know where to start or where to end. I feel like a memoir should have an ending and I'm not finished…yet. So, I decided on a blog.
I have sat down to write this first entry so many times, but I never actually do it. I'm not sure why, but in some ways I do know why. The things I have to say not everyone wants to nor are they prepared to hear. My life has never been easy. I was never an "easy child" nor am I an "easy adult." My life, however, is my own. I treasure every moment of it. I wouldn't trade it for the world or any "cure" for that matter. This life has made me; led me to who I am now. Is this who or where I thought I would be 20 years ago, 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago? No.
So what has this life made me? A Queen. Not only on a stage, but in life. As Oprah Winfrey said "A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness." I have failed at things, everyone has something they've failed at and will fail at. It's how you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go again that matters.
I have my faith. To some that doesn't mean much, but to me it's means almost everything. My faith is in me as much as is it in GOD.
"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. " Martin Luther King, Jr.
"6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:6.
God made me with a purpose. Sometimes I think I know what that purpose is and others that purpose is sorta thrust onto me. People think life is about where you end up, it's not; it's how you get there. Mine many be the road less traveled, but it's my road, my story and my life.
I want to thank those that have chosen to follow my story. I hope some of what I say helps you, but I'm doing this more for myself. I need to get it out and maybe someday I'll fill in the blanks and put it into book form, but for now it's all about the journey.

Our Fast Application Process Makes Getting Your EHIC For Italy Much Simpler
Using EHIC in Italy
In the weeks running up to your visit to Italy, you will be trying to track down all of your important travel documents. Amongst the madness of packing all of your important belongings, it's all too common for crucial documents to get lost or forgotten. You may be fully equipped with all of your travel insurance information before you set off for Italy, but have you considered your European Health Insurance Card? Using an EHIC in Italy will enable you to access state-funded healthcare for free or at a reduced cost. If you are excited about travelling to your stunning Italian destination, the last thing you want to think about is sickness or injury. However, travelling without an EHIC could leave you with huge medical bills at the end of your Italian holiday
In order to validate most travel insurance policies in Italy, you have to be carrying an EHIC. Without it, your travel insurance company may have the right to refuse cover. The EHIC will provide you with access to a number of specified medical services that are state-funded. It is a common misconception that the EHIC will provide full NHS-style healthcare, making travel insurance unnecessary. You will need both an EHIC Card and travel insurance in order to receive efficient healthcare in Italy as well as avoid huge repayments. Depending on your travel insurance policy, the reduced costs you receive, when using an EHIC, will be reimbursed at a later date.
Health Services in Italy with EHIC
Italy is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, with millions of visitors exploring this stunning country every year. If you are unfortunate enough to fall ill, or have an accident during your stay, there are a number of facts you need to take in to consideration when using the EHIC in Italy. First and foremost, it is imperative that you remember that the EHIC does not cover any private treatment. Any of the costs incurred from private healthcare treatment will not be reimbursed by your travel insurance provider. However, you will be entitled to the same public healthcare that is received by Italian residents.
If you require medical care during your stay in Italy, you should seek services provided by a public GP. You will be able to find GPs in your area by visiting your ASL office, which are the local health authorities. If you need hospital or dental treatment, your Italian GP will have to refer you first. You should always ensure that you are referred to a public hospital to avoid any added costs. Any hospital or dental treatments will not necessarily be free of charge and you may be asked to make a patient co-payment. This will also be the same for any prescriptions you require in Italy, unless the medication is considered "life saving".
How can I apply for an EHIC?
When preparing for your Italian holiday, you may realise at the last minute that your EHIC is missing or out of date. If your EHIC is out of date, or missing before you travel to Italy, you might be tempted to simply leave it behind rather than go through the renewal process.
We make renewing expired or replacing lost health cards simpler. Our service means you won't have to worry about filling in endless application forms. We will complete your application forms, making all of the necessary edits and amendments to avoid bounce backs. We can even offer a fast track application service to ensure your forms are processed within two days. With this service, we even provide temporary cover should you need to travel before your card arrives. Accessing healthcare services in Italy doesn't need to be difficult. Contact us today to receive your EHIC quickly and efficiently.

Out of Practice Aphrodite
By Sheryl Babin
Aphrodite sprawled across the couch with her laptop, clicking idly through the latest dating profiles on Lonelyhearts.com. Sipping a latte, a slight frown touched her delicate face as she pulled up the latest people looking for love.
Click. "His picture is about 10 years and 45 pounds out of date."
Click. "He loves his Mercedes more than his mother."
Click. "She forgot to mention her addiction to the Home Shopping Network. Hate to meet the poor bastard that winds up with her."
She shuddered delicately and shut down her laptop. Aphrodite set her latte down and buried her head in her hands. "Of all the days to be forced to make a match, I get stuck with the cheesiest holiday on Earth. I've died and gone to Hades."
Born from the sea, Aphrodite was the most beautiful woman in the world, responsible for the fall of kingdoms and legions of pissed off wives everywhere. While Aphrodite couldn't help the beauty she was born with, she didn't hesitate to use it to her advantage. Thus, the current predicament she found herself in.
Thanks to an incident where she may have incited a teensy, weensy riot at a Kiss concert trying to get backstage passes, Zeus summoned her to Olympus and proceeded to chew her a new girdle. Properly chastised, Aphrodite slunk home to her New York apartment to lick her wounds.
She later heard through the nymph grapevine that Eros had been granted Valentine's Day off but hadn't realized the ramifications until Zeus visited her yesterday. Appearing in her apartment in an explosion of light, he commanded her to make one true love match before midnight. Aphrodite stared at him in disbelief. After all, this was Zeus. The father of thousands of illegitimate demi-gods to unsuspecting mortals, he was the last person she expected to be demanding anything about love. When she confronted him about it, Zeus gave her a withering glare.
"My affairs are none of your business, woman!" he boomed.
Aphrodite snorted. "Yeah, tell that to the nymphs. You should really learn to lock your door, Zeus. You're lucky Hera hasn't shriveled your balls into acorns."
Zeus gritted his teeth. "By the mountains of Olympus, I command thee, Aphrodite, to bring true love to two deserving mortals by midnight on Valentines' Day. Should you fail, I will banish thee to Hades for the period of two hundred years."
Aphrodite gasped. She knew she was in deep shit as she felt the binding swoop around her ankles in a sparkle of golden light, binding her to the word of Zeus.
Aphrodite cursed profusely. She had forgotten how hard matchmaking was, especially in modern times. Women's lib was becoming a complete buzz kill for the goddess of love. Toying with the rim of her martini glass, she glanced at her watch and cursed again. It was 9 p.m. Three hours before 200 years of nagging. Of all the punishments Zeus could have come up with, the threat of the next two centuries with her ex-husband was a genius move to ensure complete cooperation.
Aphrodite glanced in the mirror behind the bar and her mouth dropped open.
"Well, hello hormones," she chuckled under her breath, staring at the hunk that just walked in the door.
Ebony hair framed an olive complexion and hollow cheekbones. Green eyes swept the room, dismissing everyone he saw. Walking with purpose, he made a beeline for the bar, overlooking Aphrodite as he settled himself on the stool three seats away from her. He removed his jacket and rolled his sleeves up, exposing strong, tanned arms. Lifting a hand, he motioned the bartender over and ordered a drink.
Confused, Aphrodite discreetly lifted an underarm and sniffed. What the hell? He hadn't even given her a second glance. For a few minutes, she sat there stealing glances at the man and tried to formulate a plan. Gay? she wondered, but didn't get that vibe from him. Perplexed, she toyed with her curls with one hand and tried to come up with a plan.
A flurry of activity from the corner caught her eye. A frizzy red-headed waitress came up to the bar and motioned the bartender over to fill a drink order. Sitting close enough to the man, she heard his sudden intake of breath and saw him staring.
Unfortunately, the woman was clueless. Glancing at the olive-skinned stud, the redhead offered a slight smile as she lifted the drinks the bartender had placed on her tray.
Aphrodite sprang into action. Spinning her finger, she ensured the woman caught her foot on a bar stool. The tray of drinks went flying and the woman stumbled forward, right into hot guy's lap. Reaching out to catch her, hot guy also lost his balance and they landed together in a tangled heap of limbs. The bar was dead silent, and Aphrodite stared in shock. Apparently, she hadn't accounted for gravity on hot guy's part.
The woman untangled herself, apologizing profusely.
Hot guy lay dazed on the floor, a loopy smile on his face. "I've been waiting three months for something like that to happen."
A shocked laugh burst from the woman. "I'm sure I could have arranged something without ruining your suit."
Hot guy stood up, dusted his suit off and held out his hand. "Steven," he said.
The woman stared, not quite sure what to make of him. Finally, she placed her hand in his. "Katie." A slight smile touched her lips.
Aphrodite grinned in delight. The ginger was kinda cute when she smiled and obviously Steven was into her. As she watched the two of them, heads bent together picking up broken glass and brushing their fingers together when they didn't have to; she thought the feeling was beginning to be mutual. Turning back to her drink, Aphrodite startled when she saw Zeus staring at her from behind the bar. A salacious wink was the only indicator she received to let her know that Hades had been avoided for now.

IN PHOTOS: Rare 'super blue blood moon' eclipse lights up pre-dawn sky
The moon put on a rare show Wednesday, as a blue moon coincided with a super moon and a total lunar eclipse, an event that hasn't occurred in 35 years.
Dubbing the event as a lunar trifecta, NASA said it's the first "super blue blood moon' since 1982.
The second full moon in a calendar month is known as a blue moon while a supermoon occurs when a moon is full when it's at or near its closest point to Earth, also known as perigee.
Wednesday's event also included a total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon.
According to NASA, the next lunar eclipse in North America won't be until Jan. 21, 2019, which also happens to be a supermoon.
Here's a look at the supermoon through the eyes of social media.

Earlier this year, I met a friend at a small French restaurant in Lancaster, PA and had an amazing bowl of cream of parsnip soup. It was velvety smooth, creamy and had just a bit of "warm" spice, i.e., allspice, to it.
Sooooooo, I decided to grow parsnips this summer, fickle as they are. We have finally had our killing frost, so the parsnips are ready to pull, but, after thinning, there are only about 8 of them so I don't want to screw this up.
Has anyone ever made cream of parsnip soup and been really pleased with the results? Care to share technique and recipe?
P.S. If you ever need an aphid trap crop, plant some parsnips outside your pepper beds. I've not seen an infestestation this bad since I tried growing artichokes.

How To Make Your Home Look Irresistible
Jun 9, 2017
We have all at some point in our lives walked or driven past a property and thought to ourselves "I would love to live somewhere like that."
You want someone, somewhere, to have that exact same feeling when they come into contact with your own home for the first time, whether you have any intentions of selling or not.
This will only ever likely occur if you give the outside of your home the proper care and attention it deserves.
Here's how to make your place irresistible:
- Replace old windows and doors
The windows and doors are two of the most prominent features of any house so they need to look pristine. Old timber windows and doors are unlikely to have the pretty aesthetics they once did, so replace them with modern UPVC or aluminium equivalents as they'll contain a sparkling finish that you will never have to preserve.
- Do up your driveway
Creating a paved driveway can add value to your money. An unsightly paved driveway can have the opposite effect and completely turn people off. It can easily be replaced by removing the existing paving stones and fitting brand new interlocking paving blocks. Once done it will transform the look of the entire property, not just the driveway.
- Love your garden
If it's been a while since you've got your fingers green some of your plants, shrubs and hedges may not just look a little worn out, but they could also be obstructing your home from view. Suitably prune and trim them whilst also keeping the lawn in neat condition and planting so that some colourful flowers eventually blossom.
New windows and doors aren't something we recommend you install yourself. Leave it to James Oliver Conservatories as we have the fitting experience needed to give you a gorgeous and glamorous abode.

Beet the Disease with this Smoothie/
With so many types of smoothie recipes flying all over the Internet, it's sometimes hard to choose which one to stick with. As a rule of thumb I practice making smoothies on a daily basis. I like to keep a few of them at the forefront of my mind, alternating the ingredients based on the condition of my body and my personal needs at the time. One thing that I'm very consistent with is consuming five vegetables and three pieces of fruit blended in anyone smoothie recipe.
Smoothies are an excellent way of getting all of the bodies daily recommended allowance of vegetables and fruit. And I would suggest when creating your recipes always include a good selection of seeds such as black sesame seeds, flaxseed, Chiaseeds, walnuts, figs, etc. etc.
Imagine, a seed contains all the vital nutrients a tree needs in order for it to grow big and strong. Seeds can also provide us with nutrients that benefit our immune system. Today I'm sharing with you one of my recipes that I call 'Optimal Health Power Smoothie'. It's loaded with antioxidants don't forget your seeds and nuts.
Optimal Health
Power Smoothie
½ red beet
½ pint blueberries
½ pint blackberries
1 pint strawberries
2 fresh basil with stem
1inch ginger root
½ like with pith and seed
2c Distilled Water
1 red beet peeled
2 carrots
1 fuji apple
½ cucumber
1 fresh basil
1 fist of parsley
½ lime with pith and seeds
1 inch ginger root
not only does this movie promote optimal health but it's excellent for those who are fighting against any major disease
this smoothie recipe is based on food therapy, every single ingredient has a specific purpose and how it supplements the body promotes detoxification and cleanses the joints and immune system on a cellular level.
I hope you enjoy!

Must read: 'Our Love Affair With Digital Is Over'
Imagine if, instead of software / robots / fake news algorithms destroying the world, we instead experience a slow turn away from the unfulfilled promises of technology, and find ourselves choosing to embrace the analog again.
In his poignant article Our Love Affair with Digital is Over, journalist David Sax makes the case that this is what's already happening. It's a great piece, and very much worth reading in full.
He's right –– so many of us, while we remain smitten in some ways with technology's possibilities, can no longer ignore the great personal and societal costs that have been wrought by the toxic and often un-human Silicon Valley mindset. A system that values connections to devices more than connections to people deserves to be upended.
We couldn't agree more, and are doing our own work here at Mindful Technology™ to help both users and builders of technology to make decisions that help us to be more connected to one another. And yes–to David's point, I have personally purchased books, Broadway tickets, and paper notebooks recently. ;)
If you are interested in this stuff, I invite you to join us for the inaugural #mindfultech meetup in NYC on November 30th!
ps I just ordered David Sax''s book, The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter. Can't wait to check it out!
At Mindful Technology™ we believe in building tech for a better world—and we teach precisely how to do that through our workshops, keynotes, and executive seminars. Join our growing community on Twitter or Instagram; or subscribe to our informative + non-salesy newsletter. 📱🙏🏽💻 (Prefer IRL? We do too! Join our meetup group.)

Day 139 - Ship It.
Day 139 - Hey gang. Wednesday is here and although it hasn't been a full week, I am ready for the weekend. In short, I am shorted out. The altMBA was amazing but it took sprinting a full four weeks and now I want to collapse. Going into the program, there was one key point that was instilled throughout. You have to "ship it." Whatever you are trying make or do it's never going to be perfect. Perfection is fear hiding.
Today, ship something. Show someone your story, drawing, website, recipe, business idea or photo that you just don't think is quite good enough to send out into the world. Showing someone this artifact should make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. Create tension in yourself. Notice how you feel before and after the big reveal.
Let me know how it goes and see you tomorrow.

After winning the hearts of judges and residents, Tadcaster Albion has been named as a winner in the Jewson Building Better Communities competition. Following thousands of regional entries being submitted from across Great Britain, the local football club has been awarded £4,000 worth of materials from the builders' merchant.
Using their winnings, Tadcaster Albion will renovate its facilities, including the toilets, changing rooms and clubhouse, and also create sheltered spectator standing.
The club and 36 other projects were presented with prizes by renowned architect and TV personality, George Clarke.
Spokesman Danny Gore, said: "It's an amazing thing to be able to win in the Jewson Building Better Communities competition. The prize will go a really long way in helping us renovate our facilities."
This year's Building Better Communities competition was launched last April and more than 2,400 entries – made up of good causes from up and down Great Britain – were submitted. These were later narrowed down to a shortlist and put to a public vote, with the winners announced at an awards ceremony held in Coventry on July 3.
George Clarke commented: "It's sports groups like Tadcaster Albion which help bring people closer together and Jewson does great work in supporting them with Building Better Communities. This competition is a fantastic idea and it's always great to see so many happy faces at the awards presentation.
"By giving something back to the areas that support them, Jewson is creating brighter futures for those who need it. I'd like to congratulate Tadcaster Albion on their deserved win."
Jewson Managing Director, Thierry Dufour, added: "At Jewson, we believe in the positive power of community spirit and it is local causes such as this one, which really bring this to life.
"By lending a helping hand to those who need it, we can help build better communities across Britain and support those unsung heroes who go out of their way to help others."


text: With its seemingly random imagery — a mask that was found, search and rescue dogs on the prowl, inclement weather, etc. — it's nearly impossible to decipher precisely what "Plush" is about. But during an episode of VH1 Storytellers, Scott Weiland finally spilled the beans. "The lyrics to this song were inspired by a true story," the Stone Temple Pilots frontman recounted. "A girl was kidnapped and then later found tragically murdered back in the early part of the Nineties. So it gave me fuel to write the words to this song. However, this song is not about that, really; it's sort of a metaphor for a lost, obsessive relationship."

Summer of Colour 2015 - Blue, Blue, Green.
I decided to do something super simple this week to ease myself in, plus I had one of THOSE weeks and just wanted something to take my mind off it all!
I used Sharpies, Gelly roll pens and a micron pen for the outline. I'm not entirely sure if this looks anything like I had planned but I'm pleased with the colours! I was hoping for a zentangle sort of look but it was hard to doodle detail with the sharpies :-P
So that's it for now, I can't wait to see the next colour combo! I really enjoyed this, I find swirly doodles help me relax :-P

Parallel Lives of Jesus: A Guide to the Four Gospels
Presbyterian Publishing Corp, Jan 1, 2011 - Religion - 195 pages
In this highly readable introduction to the Gospels, Edward Adams demonstrates how the four canonical Gospels function separately--as unique accounts of Jesus' life--and as narrative renditions of a shared story: the Fourfold Gospel. Building on the premise that the Gospels are ancient biographies or "lives of Jesus," Adams examines parallel Gospel passages, highlighting the similarities and differences between them. He begins by approaching the four Gospels generally, then looks at each of them individually, and finally considers six key Gospel passages to further explore the unity and plurality of the Gospels in a more focused way. Adams's lucid prose helps to make this text ideal for beginning students of the Gospels.

When we are not sure of the next steps, it is easy to fall back to old ways or old situations in life.
Keeping the focus on moving foward and not going back to past situations is the key to building a better life.
When you feel tempted to go back to old situations that ended up in dissaster, just in case this time it might work, consider the outcome in the past! If the outcome was negative, causing you and others around you stress or hurt then stay well away from those things that led you to unhappy times in your life.
Creating a board with pictures that show what you want your life to be like, helps to focus and to keep moving forward.
In fact, in my experience, it is a very relaxing activity to cut off pictures from magazines that depict how I want my life to be. I take time to arrange them and stick them on a board which I then hang up where I can see it every day. I would encourage you to try it as a positive step into building a better life.
Stay focused on where you want to be and how you want your life to be!

MP Speaks Up for Local Company
Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake has taken up a case of a local drainage specialist company that has been unable to obtain telephone lines for their new offices.
Hydro Cleansing has experienced a number of delays in installing BT telephone lines at their new premises. As a result, the company has had to delay expansion plans and is struggling to meet business demands. Tom Brake visited Hydro Cleansing on Friday to discuss the problems they have been having and to find out how he could help.
Tom said:
"I am very concerned that the delay in installing these new lines is preventing this successful local business from expanding and providing new employment opportunities."
"I have contacted BT asking for the issue to be investigated and resolved as soon as possible."
"We should be helping local businesses not hindering them. It is disappointing to see what appears to be a lack of will and sincere efforts on the part of BT."
Despite the fact that Hydro Cleansing have waited for 3 months to have the lines installed, up to this date BT has failed to commit to a definite date of completion. To fit the lines, the telecommunications giant is asking the company to agree to 'time-related charges' but has been unable to say how much these charges may amount to. The dispute reached a stalemate when Hydro Cleansing refused to agree to what effectively amounts to providing BT with a blank cheque.
Further delays to installation were caused when engineers have attended the site without knowing what work was required to be carried out and without the necessary equipment to complete the work.
Ian Baxter, the Managing Director of Hydro Cleansing commented:
''We are extremely grateful for the support of Tom Brake MP and his interest in the challenge we face. As a fast growing service industry SME which has generated over 80 new jobs in the Croydon area over the past 9 months, it is frustrating to see large organisations generating unnecessary barriers which restrict our growth. In our industry we are required to respond to issues within an hour which makes it hard to understand why a world class organisation such as BT can possibly take so long to deliver a solution which supports growth.''
Tom added:
"I will monitor this case closely until it is fully resolved and Hydro Cleansing have operational telephone lines at their office."
