Year 6 Eagles discussed unity and harmony.
They discussed their ideas of what it meant, talking about working together, ensuring there is no war, hatred or fights.
We looked at the story of Noah and how in Christianity, the story is told as God asking Noah to unite the people and follow his commandments. As the people didn't, God sent rain for 40 days and 40 nights resulting in only Noah and his family being saved from the flood.
Year 6 then discussed Jainism, the oldest Indian language, older than Hinduism. It taught unity and harmony and as with all other religions- it taught forgiveness. A huge emphasis is put on forgiveness and the class discussed why.
"It makes you feel better."
"To forgive means you keep your friends."
In Jainism they used forgiveness circles and the class used this concept to research some forgiveness quotes. It turned out that the children were inspired to write their own!
Have a look and see what you think…

Rhode Island Rams Are Going Dancing After Winning #A10MBB Championship
Related Links
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Jared Terrell finished with 20 points and E.C. Matthews added 19, including a decisive runner with 55 seconds to go as Rhode Island earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1999 with a 70-63 victory over VCU in the Atlantic 10 Championship game on Sunday.
The third-seeded Rams (24-9) never trailed and withstood a serious late push by second-seeded VCU (26-8) to capture their first conference tournament title since Lamar Odom led them to the A-10 crown 18 years ago. It's the ninth time in Rhode Island history the program is going to the NCAAs.
JeQuan Lewis led VCU with 15 points and Justin Tillman had 10 points and 17 rebounds but VCU struggled to get anything going against Rhode Island. VCU shot just 31 percent (21 of 67) from the field and forced just six Rhode Island turnovers.
VCU was pushed to overtime by third-seeded Richmond in the semifinals on Saturday while Rhode Island cruised by ninth-seeded Davidson. Rhode Island certainly looked like the fresher team at the outset as the A-10's top defensive team swarmed VCU whenever it tried to get to the rim. VCU made just 4 of 22 from the field to start the game as Rhode Island opened an early 17-point lead.
Lewis settled down after the break and spearheaded a VCU rally that saw the Rams get within 53-48 on a driving layup by Lewis with 9:38 to play.
Wanting to avoid pinning its NCAA hopes on being in the right side of the bubble, Rhode Island responded. Cyril Langevine put back a missed free throw and Matthews hit a deep 3-pointer at the end of the shot clock to put Rhode Island up 60-49.
VCU made one more push, getting within three twice in the last 90 seconds but no closer as the Rams pulled away. Matthews made an off balance runner with under a minute to go and Terrell's free throws finished VCU off.
Matthews was named to the all-championship team and claimed most outstanding player after averaging 19.3 points and 5.7 rebounds. Joining Matthews on the all-championship team was teammate Hassan Martin, Davidson's Jack Gibbs, George Mason's Marquise Moore and VCU's Lewis.
Rhode Island: A signature moment for fifth-year coach Danny Hurley, who has steadily rebuilt the program since taking over in 2012.
VCU: The Rams are still in solid shape ahead of the brackets being announced, though their inability to dictate tempo or pace in the semifinals and finals will be something to work on ahead of the postseason.

You know her. You love her. She's your mom, aunt, or grandma. Regardless of the type of mother-figure in your life, mother's day is an important holiday for mothers. It's the day that they are most appreciated for their cooking, cleaning, and overwhelming love. Though we can show our gratitude verbally, it is always nice to give your mother a little something special. So for all you fashionistas out there who want to amp up your moms wardrobe and make her look smokin' because you love her so much, this is the article for you.
As always, there are different types of moms. Some are athletic, some are preppy, and some are glam, and some are just down right casual. So, here is my mother's day present to you all; help with finding the perfect gift to give your mother.
The great thing about athletic mom's is that they're easy to shop for. You can hit up any of your local yoga or athletic-wear shops and pick out something cute. But in other cases, some athletic mom's want to look presentable without looking like they just worked out. With the blue Free People top, your mom is able to stay comfortable and look fashionable, minus the dri-fit hoodie. But for those mom's who do love to look like they just worked out all of the time, buy a bright colored half-zip with fashionable detailing, such as the ruching on the coral half-zip. Add a trendy pair of slip-ons or sandals to finish off the look!
Yoga Leggings: Lululemon,Athleta, Hard Tail (more reasonable, still great quality)
Shirt: Free People
Finding reasonably priced pieces for a preppy mom is often a challenge. With Tory Burch, Vineyard Vines, and Lilly Pulitzer tempting you, how do you know what to buy without breaking the bank? But in my opinion, wearing a unique combination of preppy pieces is much more exciting than a whale printed shift dress. So for this mother's day, pick up cheaper and simpler preppy pieces to buy your mom.
White Jeans: Ann Taylor
Chambray Tank: Tommy Hillfiger, Lou & Grey
Skirt: J.Crew Factory
Sandals: Object-32, Forever 21
Scarf: Lilly Pulitzer for Target
Espadrilles: Lilly Pulitzer for Target
Well all know how embarrassing it is for our mom to want to dress like a teenager... take Regina's mom in Mean Girls for example... HELLO, totally embarrassing. So sometimes, when our mom wants to look glam, it's hard for her to not look 20 years younger than her actual age. So when finding glam pieces for you mom, make sure they are simple and are neutrals. That way, you mom can look trendy but HER age.
Necklace: Free People, Charlotte Russe
Tee: Madewell, Forever 21
Skirt: Topshop, Vince Camuto
Booties: Rag & Bone,Nine West
Bracelet: Alex and Ani
Scarf: Forever 21
The laid-back mom is the easiest to shop for. With comfort pieces that can be dressed up or down, all your mom needs is one of each and she can create hundreds of different outfits. Buy her the basics, and she's set for life. But instead of purchasing your typical v-neck and Sketchers, try picking out more unique and hip pieces such as the ones shown above.
Tops: Free People, Free People
Jeans: American Eagle
Necklace: BCBGeneration

Abi & Seb Tie the Knot At Chilham Village Hall
Abi & Seb Decided it was time to tie the knot twice, once in Slovakia and then again with close family and friends at the Chilham Village Hall on the outskirts of Canterbury in Kent.
After the exchange of vows and with the champagne flowing, the live band produced some incredible music which lead to some pretty impressive Barn Dancing! I had a great time at this one. Thanks for choosing us to shoot your big day guys!

Consistency not a landmark!
There are 2 'good' or 'great fund managers' in India. They have (had?) a great reputation for fund management. However I am not naming them for obvious reasons.
One if a fund manager with one of the top fund houses. On television he makes statements which are either completely off the mark or hurtful to the end investor. Fund managers have a 'buy' only portfolio and sitting on cash is not something that a fund manager should do. However maverick fund managers sit on cash – and ruin the clients' portfolio allocation. If you are a big investor in mutual funds – especially with fund managers who sit on cash – your total portfolio allocation in cash could be much higher than you think! This fund manager was also complaining about the 'high priced' IPOs – that was a joke, and a cruel one at that!
Another huge wealth manager who wears many hats was just as amusing on television. When he wears a Merchant Banker hat he tries to get the best price for the IPO. When he wears a wealth manager hat he looks for the same share at a much lower price. This is funny – especially if such people come on television for personal gain. Watching television is getting more and more hazardous especially after the research report on Jim Cramer. Search on Google and you will find the report.
Obviously no names please. I personally have met these people – and find it difficult to know when he is wearing a wealth manager hat and when a MB hat. Once upon a time I would pick ALL his IPOs. Now I avoid ALL his IPOs. In most cases his office on the WM side gives ME a buy call far below the IPO price. Really there will not be much left on the table, nor are they sure about the long term prospects. In one case the guy doing the research was asked for 90-day call on a particular scrip – clearly the question being "Will it list at a premium? Or will it devolve?".
God bless the small investor. God bless SEBI.

Objectivism and The Struggle for Liberty by David Kelley Ph.D. (Remastered MP3 Download) Our Price: $1.99 Originally recorded on November 10th, 1988 Est. 52 minutes This provocative lecture was given at the Laissez Faire Supper Club in New York City on November 10th, 1988 by David Kelley, the noted Objectivist philosopher, author of The Evidence of the Senses, The Art of Reasoning, former contributor to The Objectivist Forum and frequent editorial writer for Barron's. Kelley defends Objectivism's role in helping to form the intellectual foundations for a free society in a twofold sense: its necessity for what he sees as a rigorous intellectual defense of the free society, and its role in defending and promoting those cultural values that must be widely accepted for a free society to be stable. Kelley demonstrates the indispensable role of individual rights as a defining characteristic of a free society, and then proceeds to launch a devastating attack on any form of ethical subjectivism as a basis for defending individual liberty. He examines three broad principles that he argues are absolutely essential in defending and sustaining individual freedom: the primacy of reason; egoism or the doctrine that every individual is an end in himself; and a rejection of the mind/body dichotomy. Finally, Kelley eloquently summarizes some of Ayn Rand's major contributions in defending these principles. This concise and persuasive talk is followed by a freewheeling question and answer period that is sure to be controversial, as David Kelley fields questions from Libertarians and Objectivists alike, showing once again why his is a mind to be reckoned with and why any thoughts of Objectivism's demise is premature to say the least. Permission to provide this product has been granted by David Kelley and The Atlas Society.
If you would like to support the endeavors of The Culture of Reason Center, you may make a financial donation through PayPal. Donations are not tax-deductible. http://thecultureofreasoncenter.com/make-a-donation/ We will also gladly accept any Objectivist related materials, e.g. books, tapes, CDs, videos, etc. These materials will either become part of our educational archive project* or may be distributed to other students of Objectivism. Please email us if you have materials that you wish to donate. In some cases we may be able to reimburse your shipping expenses. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com *The Culture of Reason Center Archive is in the process of cataloging and preserving materials that relate to Ayn Rand and Objectivism. In the future, we hope to make these materials available to independent research scholars.
I came across the article by an author who is a Buddhist philosopher. While I think he tends to mix his points and doesn't seem to know very much about Objectivism, he does heavily draw from Ayn Rand to make his case. I don't know if I agree with him but I can see where he is coming from.
Killing the Rand
Mike Renzulli posted a topic in Objectivist Living RoomI have just finished reading an article entitled Killing the Buddha done by Sam Harris (link below). As you all may know Harris is best known for his books The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation. In his opinion piece Harris expresses an appreciation for Buddhism but states that it is because it is viewed and practiced as a religion that that is why it may not spread or become more popular than the Abrahamic faiths. Harris uses an ancient Buddhist saying to make his point in which one 9th century Buddhist monk named Li Chi is quoted as saying If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him. The monk used this analogy or statement to make the point that if you make Buddhism into a religion, you will rob it of the essence of what the Buddha taught. Harris's main point of his op-ed is that despite practitioners of Buddhism claiming it is a philosophy most followers treat it as if it is a religion. Then there is Objectivism. Unfortunately, there are many subscribers to Objectivism who have decided to make it a religion and follow through as such. Yet it is because of religious Objectivists that may have robbed the philosophy of its essence since they want to be mini-Rands (like Leonard Peikoff) going around their social circles or the world itself preaching from soapboxes in order to lecture people in an attempt to convince them to follow the philosophy. But if a person openly questions or disagrees with their points about certain subjects they risk (and often times are) kicked out or declared persona-non-grata. I must admit that since becoming more familiar with the philosophy it has filled a void in my life and have followed up with starting an Objectivist club that has met for a little over 5 years. However, I have always been of the mindset that the philosophy is my road map and tried to keep myself from making it my entire life. Yet there are people who will always deride Objectivism as being a cult because it is a coherent, integrated, and unified system of thought that is very clear and consistent. However, I think Li Chi's advice is relevant not in a literal sense and just in terms of Buddhism but in terms of Objectivism as well. Thanks to people, like Leonard Peikoff, who have made Objectivism into a religion, they are the philosophy's worst enemy. http://www.samharris...ing-the-buddha/

'Tis the season for giving, and there are a lot of worthy organizations in the region worth giving to.
In the spirit of helping out those who need it, we thought we'd share five great organizations who deserve your support this holiday season.
And believe us, we know there are MANY more, so tell us about them in the comments on Facebook!
Habitot Children's Museum
(Yes, that spelling is correct!) A hands-on museum that allows children to come in and learn in a fun, enjoyable environment. It looks like play, but it's much more than that. It's about education in a way that kids actually ENJOY. They've won awards for good reason! They do need help to expand, though. Learn more about what they've done for the community and how you can help here: http://www.habitot.org/
The Pollination Project
On the surface this one sounds a little unusual – it's a charitable organization based in Berkeley that doesn't focus on any one specific goal or need – but look a little closer and you'll see the good they do. They have given out nearly 3,000 seed grants in over 100 different countries, with the goal of helping new and small organizations and groups improve their communities. These grants are small, usually $1,000, but they can make a big impact. Learn more about them at https://thepollinationproject.org/
Anyone living in our area knows how important the environment is. Seacology takes a specific focus with their environmental mission, working to save and preserve island ecosystems across the world. And they're not just about the environment of those islands. They also work to preserve the unique cultures that have developed on those islands, too. If you want to learn why they've chosen such a unique focus, visit https://www.seacology.org/
Cal Shakes
We all need the arts! The California Shakespeare Theater, affectionately known as Cal Shakes, is a beloved local institution because of what they bring to the community. One of their goals is to bring the theater to people who normally don't experience it, and that is commendable. Learn more about them (and get tickets to a show) here: http://www.calshakes.org/
Red Rover
Everyone loves helping animals, and thankfully there are many great charities designed to do exactly that. There are far too many to list, and most of them are worthy of your support. For this article, we'll give some attention to Red Rover. Based in Sacramento, Red Rover focuses on animals rescued from disasters, neglect, and homes with domestic violence. These furry friends need a home! Find out how you can help here at https://redrover.org/
The time to give is all year 'round, but now more than ever, think about helping organizations that make the world better. We know there are MANY more, so tell us about them in the comments on Facebook!

So ya.. the storms that just went through Indiana were awesome. 1200 mile radius(all across Indiana from north to south) 80-90 mph winds. It was so cool to see it roll in. There is nothing in the world to compare to that feeling than before the storm. I love storms if you cant tell. But ever since i had Matthew im been more scared of them for his sake. Before i felt like that i could go outside in the middle of the storm and not worry about it, but now i feel so protective. Its werid and cool that i feel like a parent. Lol. He has my heart!

Quick-acting employees of a New Jersey store foiled a fur-coat heist by a gang of New York City shoplifters, cops said Wednesday.
The thieves entered Steven Corn Furs in Paramus Tuesday afternoon and began stuffing fur coats under their overcoats, police said.
Shop workers chased the crooks to a parking lot, fighting with them before three of the fur-grabbers sped off in a getaway minivan, leaving behind a female cohort, whom store workers held until cops arrived.
The three who got away were busted by Fort Lee cops on the upper level of the George Washington Bridge. Cops recovered two furs worth $90,000 with the Steven Corn tags still intact.
Arrested were Milutin Jovanovic, 47, and Daijela Pranjic, 34, both of Queens; and Jelena Sekularac-Radulovich, 35, of Manhattan, the one left behind at the scene of the crime.
Also busted was Nenad Teodostic, 39, a native of Serbia.
They were charged with robbery, theft and possession of stolen property.

Take me out to the Ballgame
The best of the best are out there playing their hearts out. They train, they work all season, and now they have a chance to be the world champions. It's a great example of high performance that we can learn from.
Routines. Pitchers and batters alike have their set routines that enhance focus. Consider the routines you have, or ought to have, to start your day, shift tasks or improve concentration.
Teamwork. Though these games seem to be all about pitching, the pitchers can't do it alone. They need all the guys on the field to win. How's your team? Is everyone working together to make things happen?
Playing through the pain. You know there are players with injuries who just keep going for the opportunity to play the big games. What's your big game? What's important enough for you to show up for, even though you have to push through the pain?
Staying positive. You hear the interviews with managers and players. They're pumped and they're positive. They tell you what they're gonna do, not what they can't do. Are you keeping it positive? Setting your sights on the big goals?
I think we can all take a few pointers from our favorite sports stars, film stars and other heroes.
And don't forget the snacks to help keep your energy up…peanuts and crackerjacks anyone?
Mood music, of course: Take me out to the ballgame.

In the history of western music, it is hard to find greater rebel than Claude Debussy. Considered groundbreaking by academics and highly controversial by traditionalists, Debussy gave voice to the Impressionist Movement, laced with personal sentiment and emotions. Ironically, within 20 years, his music gave rise to another group of rebels spawning an even more powerful movement and return to logic, structure and reason – the genesis of Postmodernism and the Polystylism of Alfred Schnittke.

The gang reunites this week in a special double discussion episode of Pop Rocket!
First up, Queen Bey's most personal and controversial album yet, Lemonade. Oliver has some critiques for the "visual album" while Guy reveals the problem some of the younger gay men are having with the record.
Then, a very special discussion of all things Prince. His place in pop culture, the young proteges he worked with, weird Prince party stories, and some Batdance talk, obviously. And Prince-inspired jams to top it all off.
With Guy Branum, Wynter Mitchell, Oliver Wang and Margaret Wappler.
That's My Jam:
Wynter Mitchell - Prince – Mountains
Oliver Wang - Chaka Khan – I Feel for You
Margaret Wappler - Esparanza Spalding - One
Guy Branum - Prince – Let's Go Crazy
Each week we'll add everyone's jams to this handy Spotify playlist.

It's April and I should be blogging springy things. But it's been in the 30's all week and it snowed yesterday, so... winter engagement pictures it is!
Skye emailed me and said they were hoping for some snowy engagement photos in Chicago. We had our shoot scheduled for a Monday, and that weekend, it snowed 8 inches. Perfect timing! It was cold, but I had a great time traipsing around Lincoln Park with these two. At least a wedding in Alabama will be a little warmer. ;)

Let me start by saying Amazon is an amazing place, especially for busy people. And especially if I put aside the guilt of having tiny things shipped in large cardboard boxes, and the fact that they might take over the entire world of shopping one day.
I do not know how I would have survived car-less in NY with a newborn in the middle of winter without Amazon Prime. (How did our forefathers do it–and uphill both ways no doubt!!)
That being said, I've also realized how much Amazon, and maybe the internet it general, has made shopping more complicated. I'm pretty sure I spent at least an hour of my life comparing baby spoons. Don't you sit there and judge me like you're so much better at internetting than me–I got sucked into the reviews!
The reviews, the descriptions, the prices and pictures. Is it good for self-feeding too, do I want one he can play with for teething, what about handle length and amount of food it holds, is it really worth it to spend more on that one…
And then I thought about how I shopped for spoons last baby-go-round.
I probably walked down an aisle at Target, maybe spent a few minutes comparing prices on the two different spoons they had for sale, picked one and went to purchase. So easy. Although I will agree I had to get myself to the store first. And probably tow the child (or two children) along. So maybe time spent evens out, who knows.
All I know is that I feel like I spent way too much time researching something Arlo will use for a relatively small amount of time. And if it were just the spoons we'd all be ok. But it's spoons, bowls, teething toys, baby carriers, strollers…
You know the day when there weren't smart phones and the internet was only kind of a thing, and the only resource I was told about as a new mom was "What to Expect When You're Expecting," which I read the first chapter of and then put on a bookshelf because it was SOOOOO BORRRRIINNNGGG. (True story, not a single book and not a single childbirth class. HOW did my older children survive to become older children??)
Ignorance really can be bliss I guess.
Alright, back to doing something more fun, like looking at this kiddo.

L is for Lioness/
In what can only be explained as a "crafting coincidence", the movie Julie & Julia was on this morning as I was taking a crack at Martha Stewart's sugar cookie and royal icing recipe. My daydreaming mind wandered, and before I knew it, I was imagining Meryl Streep playing Martha in the next "amateur blogger meets her womanly role model" genre Hollywood blockbuster. Yikes!
Unlike Julie and her cooking idol, I have never really thought much of Martha and her perfection. Something about her monotone voice maybe. Or maybe I am just intimidated by her? Whatever the case is, a few weeks ago I looked through Claire's copy of Martha's Encyclopedia of Crafts, and began to have a change of heart. It all looks so pretty! Plus, her recipe was pretty much your run-of-the-mill sugar cookie recipe (with the exception that I didn't have brandy for the cookies or meringue powder (?) for the icing, so I had to substitute milk and egg whites, respectively.) Any idiot can do it, right?
The lion cookie cutter is clearly a tribute to the crafting lioness herself, Martha. Unlike her lazier male counterpart, the lioness is motivated, cunning and deadly. She is a hunter. She sees what she wants, she examines it, she attacks, she gets what she wants. Her tenacious spirit and perseverance will never let silly obstacles (like "jail time") stand in her way. I was reluctant to admit it before, but she is truly a force to be reckoned with. She is the queen of her crafting kingdom!
One would think that Martha's karma would have been with me today, since I was dedicating my craft to her and all. Well, it wasn't. As you can see below, our lion cookies would be more likely to be found in a 2nd grade bake-sale than in Martha Stewart Living. It was that pesky meringue powder, wasn't it? That was a cruel, lioness-like move, Martha... If it's going to end up soupy with egg whites, why tell me it's an acceptable substitute? Huh?
Oh, well. In the end, they tasted good, but I'm still slightly scared of her.
*Thanks to Jessi K. for the Martha Stewart caliber kitchen supplies. She got to decorate three whole cookies before Stella demanded her boobs!
And, did you know that Martha had a "moderately successful" modeling career?

People may acquire disability through accident or by birth but irregardless of the nature and cause of disability, people with special needs need not to be forsaken, ignored or criticized. In fact, they need compassion and support like social security benefits to live as normal life as possible.
Normally, people with disability experience serious psychological problems, thus, with interventions and self motivation, they can remedy their emotional issues.
With technology nowadays, the disability can be hidden, remedied or assisted boosting self esteem, stature and performance. So, with the right care, assistance and character, disability is only superficial.

Spurring from the passion of entrepreneurship, the ingenuity from a background in engineering, and an out-of-the-box approach comes East Coast Wood Barrels; the first Cooperage on the Eastern Seaboard specializing in the production of European Oak and American Oak Wine and Whiskey barrels.
Our mission is to consistently produce premium quality wine and whiskey barrels.
Our goal is to bring manufacturing back to the United States as well as support the local and national economy by utilizing American materials (aside from the European wood) and American labor. We take pride in brandishing each barrel with a "Made in America" seal.
George Voicu / President, Founder & Master Cooper:
Since George was a little boy in Romania, he has held a passion for the manufacturing and craftsmanship that goes into wine and spirit barrels. He often reminisces about the exciting times in his youth where he would work at his father's side in his grandfather's cooperage. According to George, pursuing a lifetime career as a cooper had a nice ring to it; however, the economic and political realities of his country at that time prevented this dream from becoming reality. To avoid the pitfall of Communism, George left Romania at the age of 28, a national Judo champion, and moved to America to attempt his own version of the "American Dream." Opportunity knocked on George's door, but it opened with another of his strengths - engineering. Thus, his youthful desire to hand-craft barrels was put aside as George started his own family and grew an electrical engineering business into the thriving company it is today – now in the capable hands of his eldest daughter. In 2010 George once again heeded his grandfather's call from the barrels, first only as a hobby, but later encouraged by his many wine making friends he fully embraced his childhood passion. After 3 years of honing his skills in dedicated study, George launched East Coast Wood Barrels in 2013.
Our mission is to consistently produce premium quality wine and whiskey barrels.
Every barrel we produce embodies the ingenuity, perseverance, and quality of George's American story. This heritage also guides our company's commitment to: manufacturing within the United States, revitalizing our nation's economy and local trades, and thoughtfully utilizing America's natural resources (along with some European wood). We take the greatest pride in brandishing each barrel with the "Made in America" seal.

A Neutral Accent
As you read over these words silently what does your voice sound like? Can you really "hear" yourself reading? Does reading aloud sound like this voice in your head, or is it the other way around? Consider this voice your home front.
I am writing in English so we both speak the same language, but you can't hear my voice. Can my voice disclose information that you cannot register when reading silently?
On my first day of Spanish class in Houston one of my best friends introduced himself by saying I had a weird accent. My brand of Spanish is the historical product of the massive influx in Italian immigrants into the Spanish-colonized country of Argentina. Simply speaking, its Spanish that sounds Italian. English is my second language, but I don't speak English with an Argentine accent or with what you may anticipate as Hispanic. Instead, people often think I am British or some old-world variant thereof. So why the confusion?
It seems like everyday I go through the motion of explaining that I learned English from an early age with no prescribed accent, that in Argentine schools you learn "Queen's English", and that even when I came to Houston I attended an "international school" where my friends were from all over the place. People are seldom satisfied.
My grandmother was born in New York and after living in Argentina for sixty years, she still has an Anglicized way of speaking Spanish. My mum grew up speaking with a British-educated, Hungarian father and an American expat mother. The schools in our neighborhood were St. Andrews Scots School (British), Northlands School for Girls (British), Colegio Dardo Rocha (Italian), Colegio Tarbut (Jewish), and Lincoln (American). My dad's side of the family is part of the wave of Italian immigrants, but he went to an English boarding school outside of Buenos Aires for safety in a time where my grandfather was receiving death threats from "terrorists".
Language is the home front. It is the delimitation of what I have cognitive access to, of what can be made familiar. The spoken word is just one form of language, the written word is another, but what about non-verbal language? The engineers and physicists who work together at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN often do not have the same spoken language, but together interact with the physical fabric of the universe. Music notes mean something different to a deaf Beethoven than to the little girl listening to Miley Cyrus on the radio. There are even tabooed and censored languages such the act of sex or fighting.
The everyday thinking voice is quite different than these modes of communication. It is the reflective voice of your everyday situation and has been formulating itself since you first learned how to speak. I'm sure you have heard that children learn languages with more ease than adults. Over time our horizons of meaning-constitution ossify, we become lazy and entrenched in how we interpret everyday experiences. In turn we specialize our domain of meaning in ways that reflect the accumulation of our experiences. We speak in a much more specific way now than we could when we were children, but in so doing we lose the innocence of appropriating information without prejudice.
If you ask me where I call home, I usually don't have a response. Home is where I am now and where I have been. It is plural: the places I've been, the people I know, and the languages I speak: they all disclose the world and my life as it is to me right now. You might argue there must be "bad" places I have been where I felt unwelcome and not at home, but I would ask if your home has always been comfortable, welcoming and good? Home is your experience in its totality precisely because it delimits good and bad, comfort and discomfort, love and fear.
In 8th grade we played soccer every recess and the teams were always "international versus French" (my school's classes were divided into the French program and the international program). I had never taken French and I remember a built-in animosity that often arose between the divided "camps". In one of our games I remember getting into a fight with one of the French kids who had just arrived. He didn't speak English or Spanish and I didn't speak French. Later that year we ended up getting grouped together in a camping trip and we stayed up all night as he taught me "La Marseilles". To this day it is the only national anthem I really know in its entirety. He has now become one of my closest and oldest friends, whose family has given me a home when visiting Europe. My friend actually never liked that national anthem. He is half Turkish and thinks its imperialist and racist, but the point was that he knew all of it because they made him sing at the beginning of every soccer match he played in France. We communicated not through the meaning of the words but through the experience and care for one another despite not speaking the same language. To this day he is the reason I have good pronunciation in French and why I have always felt so comfortable being immersed in a language while not necessarily understanding it as my own.
When I was young my cousin told me how he thought referring to people from the United States as "Americans" was unfair because us Argentines are also "American". The explosion of "American" media across the globe has established itself as the standard reference for the model society. A country with a common business language, which allows the banker to buy cigarettes from the gas station clerk. There are common laws that do not allow the clerk to kill the banker and take all of his money. Each has access to various news issues that present the different faces of their inter-related home. Each one uses the other through the motions of their daily routines. The common use of American language is the success of an order that allows us to carry out each of our respective lives in peace.
This situation seems perfectly fine until it comes under duress. The destruction wrought by 9/11 was precisely an attack on the peace of this order. Terrorism taken in a "post 9/11 world" discloses how our habits and symbols are reinforced through language. The semantic content of the term " 9/11 " is grafted onto our broader discourse of terror, fear and security. At the level of individual habits, the once romantic practice of flying has become unnerved. Memories ground themselves like scars in certain parts of our lives, and the mediation of language constantly reminds us of what happened on that fateful day. The news of the Madrid subway bombing for example extends one experience of terror to the broader ramework of transportation. This in turn causes inexpressible feelings of paranoia in places that were once commonly safe.
Fearful language debunks the dream of peace and brings out a beastly fear from within our very selves. The defamed act of terror that occurred "to us, in our home" is a memory that reproduces in our discourse like a virus. Our reactions cause an autoimmune response where we reinforce fear through repeated experiences of uncertainty. We become trapped our fears and fight impossible wars over the mere possibility of insecurity, and in turn the language of peaceful routine deconstructs itself.
I try to have a neutral accent; I don't pledge allegiance to one flag because I am neither here nor there. The concept of home as private property is problematic to me because of the need to keep people out. The increasing fear of privacy only makes us build higher walls to keep "the others" out, but at a certain point we imprison ourselves. We become ossified in our beliefs and the language we adapt is one of fear and exclusion. What is foreign is circumspect and discomforting.
The problem seems to lie our seemingly inevitable ossification where interpret in one language, or by only hearing our own voice. Reading others' stories, ideas and languages often inflates our convictions and self-certainty, but instead of treating information as something to be gained, as a capital, we should see that information conditions and situates us. Self-reflective critique should always precede assertions of facts and ethical deliberations. So I have a weird accent and am effectively a nomad, but I try not fear that I don't understand what's going.

Grrrrrrrrr i left it to late to do 2 cakes i got to do a 2 tired princesse cake which is fine cause i worked that one out from the day i was asked. the other is a boys football themaed cake. He likes a football team which dont have much stuff to decorate cakes with. All i could get was a football. I dont want to let my nepfew down as his mates are all over happy he will have a cake like this. its all their fav team and its the under 8's team he plays for. His mums a single mum and i told her i would do the cakes as she said she would not have any cause she could not pay for them. Great aunty i am i steped in and said i would do it for them.
Now i have gone with a 20cm x 20cm square cake which will be done in fundant. he also wanted a 2 tired cake but his mum said it may be to much cake cause their is not many going. So asked if one could have a single cake. So i thought if i did a square cake and added the footy ontop do you think that would look funny or would it be ok. its not a cake so its not like their is going to be heaps but its something he can paly with later?
Also i been trying to find a photo using a real ball ontop of a cake but have not been able to see on yet
That's hard for me to figure out --it's such a subjective thing.
By football do you mean soccer?
I'm sure your nephew will love the cake his auntie makes for him!
I don't know what if you cut the corners off and stuck them together and made a kicking stand for the ball?? Which could also be considered the second tier.
Here's some soccer (football?) cakes --they're not mine but theres some pretty cool ideas

1 June 2018, Melbourne, Australia
89 years ago, in I928, the year that Dad was born, the 29th Eucharistic Congress was conducted in Sydney – and the patron saint of the Eucharistic Congress is Paschal Baylon – so, in his honour, Dad's mum and dad – Winifred and John, named the new little bundle of joy – Baylon. (And also because they wanted him to be a good fighter).
As a matter of interest, St Paschal Baylon's father's name - was Martin Baylon – same as my youngest brother - Marty!
That Baylon family lived in north- eastern Spain in the 16th century. And North- eastern Spain is an exquisitely beautiful area that I've had the great fortune to walk through.
Dad was to become a good fighter. He needed to be because he arrived on this earth as the Great Depression emerged.
Lightly built, of Irish Catholic heritage, Dad wasn't a big man, but he was a big character, and he lived a big life.
He was born in a place called Rainbow, in the Mallee wheat growing region, about 400 kms NW of Melbourne.
By the time he was three, he looked a lot like his third son, Terry – and there are pictures to prove it. You'll see them a bit later.
Dad was the youngest of 5 children – the others were Jack, Anna, Win and Marg. The family eventually settled in Bendigo, which is still there today.
Dad had the usual boyhood adventures - like being apprehended by the police for using a slingshot to shoot birds on the banks of Lake Weeroona, playing footy and cricket, and looking for gold in the nearby diggings with his friend - Ned Kelly.
But most of the time he stayed out of trouble and was a good, conscientious son, studying, chopping the wood, fetching the shopping and so on. There wasn't much money around, and I suppose he learnt in those years the value of money, and how to make it go a long way, and sometimes just to do without it.
He was educated by the nuns at St Killian's Primary and the Bendigo Marist Brothers, and graduated to receive his Leaving Certificate.
When he was 13, Dad's mother died. This was, of course, very sad and difficult for Dad and his family – to lose your mum at such a young age. But as families do, they supported each other through these hard times.
When he was 17, Dad left school and came to live in Melbourne. He got a job as an apprentice telephone technician at the Postmaster Generals' Department. (the PMG as it was known, and what was to become Telstra). This was 1945, the year the 2nd world war ended.
He started out living in a hostel in Brunswick, St Don Bosco, and played football for the Richmond Young Catholic Workers - where he met John Dickinson - who was going out with young June Monagle – Mum's elder sister. Johnny introduced Bayley to a pretty 16 year old Bonny Monagle, my mum. They married at St Ignatius Church in Richmond in September 1955 - and the rest, is history.
Dad was idealistic, a man of ethics and practical, and got involved in union politics. His grandfather, Simeon Ryan, had been mayor of Bendigo in 1901, and had earlier done some arbitration work himself.
Dad's Irish Catholic background, and his sense of social justice, put him firmly on the side of the underdog. And while he had respect for, and practised adherence to legitimate authority, if he saw corruption or abuse of that authority, he would call it out.
Subsequently, at the age of 25, he was offered and took, the job as secretary of the Northern Australian Workers Union, and moved to Darwin.
Not only did he perform that rather large role, but simultaneously he was editor of the union newspaper - the Northern Standard - until the secretary role proved too big to accommodate both.
The paper folded (no pun intended) but not before Dad did a deal with the Northern Territory Times (who had inferior printing presses). The deal was that they could use the presses, but they must publish anything the union wanted – unedited. Of course they agreed.
Anyone who knew Dad, knows that he was tough, and uncompromising if it really mattered.
So this stood him in good stead when he took the job in Darwin, where he presided over some wild and spirited union meetings.
He once needed his good - and burly - friend, Billy Ivinson, to protect him at a union meeting where a branch stacking had been arranged, after 2 boatloads of merchant sailors were brought in by the opposite faction – essentially hired thugs- to attempt to disrupt the proceedings. He came away successful and unscathed, and Billy remained his lifelong friend.
During this time, he had some big battles and conducted some ground-breaking workers' rights campaigns – in particular, he created the first ever award for pearl divers.
He once had an encounter with Gough Whitlam who of course, went on to become Prime Minister. Dad was Labor, and right wing. Gough was Labor, but left wing. Gough sneered a one liner at Dad – 'So, the lion meets the lamb'. But Dad being Dad - never considered himself the lamb. Nor did anyone who actually knew him.
The fight in those days amongst the unions was between the communists - and the others. But Dad reported that despite strong ideological differences, everyone really wanted the same goal – a better deal for workers. So to that end, there was often mutual respect across the political spectrum.
Around that time, Dad was also encouraged as a union leader to apply to represent Australia at the Duke of Edinburgh's Conference in Canada. He was beaten on that occasion by Bob Hawke.
The Melbourne evening paper of the time 'The Herald' wrote a page two story on Dad in 1955, when he was just 27 years old – saying how he wasn't very big in stature but he was big in tenacity and courage. You might not always agree with Dad- but you wouldn't disagree with that statement.
I recently came across the Jewish expression, tikkun olam
In Judaism, the expression was first used to refer to social action work, in the 1950s.
Simply put, it means that the world is somewhat broken, and it is our job, all of us, to try to fix it.
I'm not sure Dad knew that expression, but he practised tikkun olam his entire life.
After they were married, Mum went with Dad back to Darwin and pursued her study of tropical weather patterns and gecko behaviour. Maybe, probably not.
It wasn't long until they got news that their first child, Paula, was on her way, and that she wouldn't like the thick, Darwin heat.
So Mum moved back to Melbourne - to a cool 1956 August where Paula could start saving for the first of many electric blankets she would eventually own.
Mum and Dad went on to live in Adelaide and Port Pirie in South Australia, where they did some of their finest work, producing the next 3 boys.
They then moved back to Melbourne, in fact Richmond, with Mum's parents – who we called Nan and Pa.
And in late 1963, the family of Mum, Dad and five kids, moved to a white, weatherboard house in a quiet street in Greensborough and started the small religious cult known as the Ryan family. Dad was a parishioner at St Mary's for 52 years.
As cults do, the group grew steadily - to 12, a good biblical number -:2 adults and 10 lively, but mostly well behaved kids, arriving over a period of 19 years.
Ten children, 26 grand-children and 3 great grandchildren later, here we are.
Dad did a few funny things over the years – and not always on purpose.
Some of the transport arrangements we had growing up were very interesting.
We never owned a car, but Dad always had a work car.
For a time, the 3 oldest boys – myself, John and Terry - travelled in the back of a Holden ute (white knuckled - through rain, hail and shine). And of course, St Christopher was there with us too, also hanging on for dear life.
On the car trips, we learned our first swearwords –For example catchy questions like –"What do you think you're doing - you bloody idiot?!"
Mind you, it was never much worse than that, but sometimes Dad was swearing at the people inside the car.
Dad also conducted tutorials like how to spit, whistle and kick a football, without swearing. Actually, we taught ourselves how to spit.
A particularly interesting vehicle was a van we had for a short time – that sometimes needed to be cranked - with a thing called a crank handle - to get it started. This van had no windows in the back and came with some seating challenges -i.e. -it had none.
For one Bendigo trip, Dad got a wicker chair and lashed it with rope into the middle of the back of the van, so Mum could sit there like the queen, and imagine the scenery going past for 2 hours as the old van rumbled up the highway - north to Bendigo.
In the early days, photography and Dad was a fleeting and tenuous connection.
Dad had an old Brownie camera that came out of the hall drawer without fail every time one of the kids made their first communion.
It was one or two photos at the most, and if you happened to be scratching your groin - as he said 'cheese', you were immortalized forever, as a nine year old, groin-scratching, short pants wearing, gap-toothed boy with a bad haircut, looking the wrong way – even if you were one of the girls.
As a result, needless to say, there's little photographic evidence of the early goings on - of the aforementioned Ryan Family cult.
Later, when Mum and Dad were able to go on a well deserved holiday to the US and Europe, he became an avid photographer, and carefully annotated nearly every photo he took, with descriptive notes and fond quips about Mum, the love of his life.
I won't mention too much more about secret cult business but– there was one all-male occasion - after returning from our one and only fishing trip to Jamieson.
We got home early from this Easter time outing, because we didn't know how to camp - and just couldn't sleep in the car another night.
So to do a little male bonding -Dad, 43, John, 12, Terry 10 and me, 13 - all sat around in our pyjamas, smoking pipes - with our hair neatly combed - in a quiet house, without any girls or babies around.
Another interesting behaviour of Dad's - was when - us oldies were young and courting, and late night, we'd be sitting having a quiet cuddle in the lounge room, and Dad would come out from his bedroom wearing only his white Y-front undies and go to the kitchen and drink a cold glass of milk, then return to bed - without saying a word.
This was scary, and clever on his part. And it was the only time I ever saw him: 1. in his undies and 2. drinking milk.
Football played a huge part in Dad's life. In the '60s, he drilled us kids on 2 things - learning the rosary off by heart, and reciting the name of the Collingwood coach at the time: Bobby Rose.
As I mentioned earlier, Dad was a keen footballer himself, and later in his career, played on the gravel grounds of Darwin. He hung up his boots after kicking 5 goals in his final match.
However, his direct involvement as a passionate fan and volunteer in VFL and AFL football, spanned 26 years and 572 games – that's his amazing record keeping.
12 of those years were devoted to Collingwood. For 9 years he scoured the Collingwood recruiting zone, much of which was in the Diamond Valley.
Among many, his star recruit was Peter Moore from Eltham, who went on to win the Brownlow medal twice.
The next 3 years he was a forward scout - analyzing the performance of the team Collingwood was to play the next week.
And like everything he did, the analysis in his detailed report was insightful and obviously useful to the coach. At Collingwood, he assisted Tommy Hafey. He liked Tommy – they were contemporaries, and Tommy asked him to continue aiding him when he was sacked from Collingwood mid-season in 1982, and moved to Geelong in 1983.
Dad agreed, and followed Hafey to Geelong, and stayed for the next 14 years, serving a number of coaches. His favourite was Malcolm Blight. Malcolm had been a champion footballer and Brownlow medallist.
He was intelligent, articulate and friendly. Dad was delighted to be invited to dine with Malcolm on one occasion, and I think the highlight of his football career was being flown to Perth, in his role as forward scout, during the finals one year.
Mum went with Dad to many of these games, and it became an enjoyable regular outing for both of them.
Lots of things happen in a big family over many years - many funny and happy, some difficult and sad – but the family held together because it was built on a strong foundation.
Dad loved all his grandchildren, but I want to make special mention of Dad's second grandchild, Julian, to whom he was particularly devoted, and with whom he was very tender and loving. Jules had a condition that prevented him from speaking and voluntary movement, and passed away after 9 years.
Dad was a true patriarch of this big family. His passing brings the end of an era for us.
It's a family that's strong and close and that, I know, was always Dad's intention.
He worked very hard, and reached the top of his profession at a national level, selling and marketing electrical goods–and for many years worked 2 jobs - to feed, clothe and educate us all. He and our beautiful Mum taught us to value people - not wealth and possessions. Dad never really owned much himself. He just wasn't interested. The things he valued, you can't buy.
Dad gave to the community.
He was a Justice of the Peace for 30 years from 1976.
He served on various school and parish committees.
He was a zone representative for Neighbourhood Watch for 18 years.
In his retirement, he spent a lot of time volunteering for older, frail people at Villa Maria – 14 years in fact.
He also volunteered at the Anti-Cancer Council shop in Carlton, and for 10 years was on an ecumenical committee of local Christian churches that organized the community Christmas carols.
Privately, he contributed to charities for years, and was very generous to individuals or families who needed financial assistance.
He was acknowledged for his contribution to the community with an Australia Day Awards certificate of appreciation in 2007.
He spent many years irritating - and sometimes praising - politicians -with regular letters and later faxes to Canberra and Spring St, trying to keep the so-and-sos honest.
He was devoted to his faith and he prayed for us all – all the time. His love of family was strong and obvious to everyone. He was our protector.
Growing up, you always felt safe with Dad at your side - even as a young adult.
On one occasion, I was getting my car brakes assessed, and the mechanic at this garage said it was going to cost a small fortune – which I didn't have - to do the repairs. And by the way, all the wheels were off and the brakes had been dismantled.
Dad told me to tell them - not to go ahead - to put everything back together- and that I was coming to get the car.
He came with me when I collected the car, and stood quietly, but menacingly, in the background, and silently gave them the message that they shouldn't even think about getting heavy or trying to extort money from me. And he didn't have a plan B.
I never saw Dad back down from a battle – even though maybe, very occasionally, that may have been the better option.
There are just too many stories, and too many things to say about Dad.
How can you do justice to a life in just a few minutes?
Dad cared about people.
He loved his family deeply, and he tried his best - to fix the world - where he could, the best way he knew how.
Thank you Dad - for looking after us and loving us.
We love you, and we know that you are now, and forever, in God's love.

I was staying in a house four miles away from the celebrations, yet the ba-boooms from the fireworks were still boomy enough to make the building shake.
Ever since the 1820s, and in a ramshackle way even earlier, the Sussex town of Lewes has become famous for its rowdy and fiery celebrations on November 5th, to mark Guy Fawkes's foiled gun-power plot to blow up the House of Lords in 1605. Lewes Bonfire also commemorates the memory of seventeen Protestant martyrs who were burned for their faith at the stake in Lewes during the Marian Persecutions.
The yearly ritual sees literal rivers of fire pouring through the narrow cobbled streets as seven rival bonfire societies come together and process through the town, carrying aloft flaming torches or crosses. The members wear spectacular costumes, many of which have been passed down through the generations. In between the marching bands, gigantic effigies of 'enemies of the bonfire', are wheeled along, which are doomed to get blown up later in the evening.
Crowds press along the routes, their faces lit up in firelight. Children sit perched on parents' shoulders wearing glow-sticks fashioned into necklaces or headbands, and people shriek and laugh as Bonfire members light 'rookies' and toss them towards the spectators' feet, where they explode with heaven-splitting bangs.
The pageantry, flames, fireworks debris fluttering through the air, the noise and the smell of burning paraffin are all very evocative, stirring up a thrilling sense of ash-streaked rebellion.
Unfortunately, I can't stand the rookies... so I usually choose to watch the displays from the safety of a nearby hill!

He was only six years old. Surgery!?! Like every mother, there was no way I wanted my son to go through this, even if it was only to put tubes in his ears. "It's routine," everyone kept telling me. Routine or not, I was refusing to accept this.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
Seven years ago, the doctor informed me that my son's ears were a mess. He added that no medicine or amount of prayer was going to change the fact that his ears were covered in mucus, and his hearing was comparable to that of someone underwater. Surgery was a must. Anything short of a miracle would not suffice.
Fortunately for my son, I know a miracle worker who doesn't have to obey the laws of nature. My doctor was headed off on vacation and when he returned in a week's time, the surgery would be scheduled. I had one week. God had one week. My son was placed on several prayer lists, and I recruited every prayer warrior I knew to start praying for a miracle.
I must admit, that a week went by and I didn't see any visible change in his hearing. The television still blared and numerous "what did you say" still echoed from his mouth. I never lost faith. But, I did remind God politely that my son's appointment was the next day, and that if He didn't do something quickly, the surgery would be scheduled for that week. That night, I went to bed a little discouraged.
Fortunately, my prayer warrior sister-in-law did not. Her faith was not based on circumstance, but on the word of God and His promises. Unbeknownst to me, she woke several times during the night, declaring healing over my son, claiming the scriptures that God gave for his children. "Pop" she kept praying. "Pop, in the name of Jesus!"
And that is exactly what happened. My son woke the next morning, and the first words out of his mouth were, "Mommy, my ears are popping." After a few minutes, I noticed that his hearing was improving. I kept adjusting the volume of my speech to see if he could hear, and miraculously, he could.
It was no surprise what happened that day. The doctor confirmed, to his amazement, that my son's ears were completely healed. There was no evidence that he even had any prior ear issues. And to this day, he has had supernatural hearing.
We know that when Jesus walked the earth, He performed many healings, including the healing of the paralytic, Peter's mother-in-law, the centurion's servant, the woman with the issue of blood, and the ten lepers. Unfortunately, many people believe that these miracles were limited to the days when Jesus walked the earth, but I know differently.
The healing of my son's ears is just one of the many times I've witnessed God's miraculous healing power in my family and in those around me. All too often, we lose hope right before the miracle comes. I want to encourage you today – if you or someone you know needs a healing touch (physical or mental), Jesus is ready and willing for us to call upon him.
O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.
Psalm 30:2
