Happy October 1st,
Can you believe it's October already. We're having some crazy weather here on the East Coast. It's been a long time since I've seen so much rain in one day. I guess we should be glad the temperature was 80° and not the middle of winter or we'd really be snowed in.
My card today was inspired by a sketch at Mojo Monday. I made this card for the Close to my Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop and I normally only post CTMH cards on my CTMH blog. However, since I used Mojo Monday sketch challenge, I put it here too.
My card today is made with the snowman and tree, two of the 12 stamps in this set. I glued B&T from the Mistletoe Collection onto cardstock. Then I stamped the Tree in New England Ivy Ink and cut out. Then I applied Red Sparkles where the ornaments are stamped. Then I added white liquid appliqué to the bands on the tree. Since it's an outside scene, I wanted it to look l,ike snow. If you use the tree as an indoor scene, you can treat those bands as garland.
After coloring the snowman, I coated the white part with liquid glass then sprinkled on Diamond Dust. I attached three black pearls for his buttons.
For the snow under the snowman, I also coated with Liquid Glass then sprinkled on Faux Flower Soft that I made by rubbing two pieces of Styrofoam together and using the dust that was left behind. This makes wonderful snow.
The three snowflakes at the bottom were coated with Bonding Memories glue then Prisma Glitter. I attached a white pearl to the center of each.
I used white Embroidery Floss for the Hand stitching around the card. I wanted it to look like snow flakes!

Just outside the village of Elston there is a rather attractive building. I loved the look of the place from the moment I set eyes on it. Pevsner (in The Buildings of England: Nottinghamshire) describes it as "one huge folly". I see what he means but it makes me think of a doll's house for some reason. Anyway, I have always thought of it as wonderful but now I have read about it I think it is marvelous!
|Eden Spa or Elston Towers
It was built between 1872 and 1875 for Robert Middleton of Newark. His family had made their money from malting but Robert felt his true calling was the Baptist ministry so at the centre of his new house he incorporated a chapel. Just inside the main door was a pulpit and an automatic pipe organ which could play up to 30 different hymns all on its own. Two hundred seats were arranged on the main floor and on the galleried landing above (he expected his sermons to be very popular). A metal flight of stairs went down to a baptismal tank where people could be fully immersed.
The rest of the house was furnished at immense cost. Apparently Middleton spent in excess of £30,000 (a few million by today's standards). Stone masons decorated the outside of the house with carved heads using people associated with the build ... the architect (Mr Waugh), the builder (Mr Hunter), the plumber (Mr Bousefield) and Mr Middleton himself. A large raised terrace went around the building, with servants' quarters and stables built underneath it. A separate stable block at the back had a steam powered clock which chimed the hour and could play up to 28 different tunes - a different one each day of the month (including Home Sweet Home and Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be). What a brilliant place! I bet non-religious folk went just to see it!
|Eden Hall Spa
The only reference to a bomber actually exploding there that I have come across involved a colleague of Wing Commander Guy Gibson (of Dam Buster fame). He was on duty with Group Captain Gus Walker on 8th December 1942. Walker noticed some incendiaries had fallen out of the bomb bay of a Lancaster which was situated near the main bomb dump. Walker drove over and tried to move the devices using a rake. The 4000 lb "cookie" bomb ignited inside the plane's bomb bay and Walker lost an arm in the explosion. I have not found any evidence that this particular explosion caused the damage though.
Over the years Middleton Towers has had a variety of uses .... a chicken farm, Rolls Royce motor agents, a kennels, offices, a race track and a restaurant ... it was even a maggot farm at one time. Blow flies laid eggs in carcasses in the conservatory; once the eggs were collected the well-fed flies were released: it is claimed they were the size of small sparrows! The stinking carcasses were taken out to be burned and a tall chimney was used to prevent the smell reaching the village ... it didn't work! The Spa has been there ten years now. Middleton envisaged it as a place of worship, where people could find inner peace .... in a strange way he might have got his wish!
Across the road from Eden Spa on the corner of the road into Elston there is a white building. It is now called Elston Lodge Farm but originally it was just 'Elston Lodge'. It was built in 1801 by William Brown Darwin. The Darwin family occupied Elston Hall at this time. To get to London William had to walk about a mile up the road to catch the London coach ... at 5 o'clock in the morning. He had Elston Lodge built by the side of the main road so he didn't have to get up so early! Rather an expensive bus shelter!
|Elston Hall
The Hall came to belong to the Darwin family when William Darwin of Cleatham married Anne Waring in 1680 .... that same year her step father, George Lascelles of Elston Hall died. The Hall and estate passed to George's 11 year old son, John. William and Anne Darwin had two children (William and Robert) before William died in 1682. Anne and her children returned to live at the Hall with her mother, Anne Lascelles, and her brother. John was only 22 years old in 1691 when he too died leaving his mother with a life interest in the property. Anne Lascelles died in 1708 and Robert Darwin (son of William and Anne Darwin) stepped in and bought the estate.
|Anne Darwin Almshouses
|Darwin monument
The Robert who inherited the estate in 1754 was a bachelor and died childless at the age of 92. His younger brother was called Erasmus. He was born at the Hall in 1731. He trained as a doctor and moved to Lichfield where his reputation grew. He was regarded as one of the finest physicians in England. He was a philanthropist: giving aid to his poorer patients instead of charging them. He was an inventor, creating designs for a canal lift, a horizontal windmill and a 'speaking machine' (it blew air through organ reeds). Here he is predicting a future of steam ships, fast cars and helicopters:
"Soon shall thy arm, Unconquered Steam, afar
Drag the slow barge or drive the rapid car;
Or on wide waving wings extended bear
The flying chariot through the fields of air." [Botanic Garden]
He was recognised as a poet (his work was admired by Wordsworth!) and Mary Shelley cited some of "Dr Darwin's experiments" as being part of the inspiration for her novel, "Frankenstein". He was a philosopher and a founder member of the Lunar Society. He was a life long friend of Benjamin Franklin, he spoke up against the slave trade and he argued for the education of girls. His grandson, Charles Darwin, would become famous for "The Origin of the Species" but Erasmus was already forming radical opinions along the lines of evolution and the survival of the fittest two generations earlier. In Zoonomia he wrote:
"Would it be too bold to imagine, that in the great length of time, since the earth began to exist, perhaps millions of ages before the commencement of the history of mankind, would it be too bold to imagine, that all warm-blooded animals have arisen from one living filament, which THE GREAT FIRST CAUSE endued with animality, with the power of acquiring new parts, attended with new propensities, directed by irritations, sensations, volitions, and associations; and thus possessing the faculty of continuing to improve by its own inherent activity, and of delivering down those improvements by generation to its posterity, world without end!"
|Monument to Erasmus Darwin
Charles Darwin's cousin was Charles Waring Darwin, known affectionately in the village as The Colonel. His son was another interesting man:
Charles John Wharton Darwin was born in 1894. He was educated in Germany, Switzerland and Winchester then joined the army in 1912, transferring to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He took part in the Paris Peace Talks with Churchill and after the war he became one of the first flying instructors at RAF Cranwell. Between the First and Second World Wars he was a member of the Secret Intelligence Service and in 1939 he helped to set up Bletchley Park, briefed agents and set up a chain of radio transmitters. In 1940 he rejoined the RAF but became ill in April 1941 and died that year.
His son, Christopher was killed during active service in 1942 at El Alamein where he is buried.
|Elston Hall ... additional wing
The family moved out of the Hall in 1934 and sold it in 1954. It became a Catholic Boarding School and the two wings were added as dormitories. The school closed in 1970 and the building was later converted to apartments.
|Old Rectory
Across the road from the Hall is All Saints Church. Until 1870 this was not the only place of worship. Elston Old Chapel is sited at the other end of the village and is thought to have been the medieval leper Hospital of St Leonard's as well as a place of worship.
Its round arched south doorway with bold zig-zag moulding dates back to the 12th century, so it predates the present village church. There is a 12th century report of Gabriel d'Eylston (Elston), son of Ralph (a family of knights) being struck by lightning and killed while in the church porch.
The Old Chapel is also thought to have housed prisoners of war after the Battle of East Stoke in 1487 before King Henry ordered their execution. Their leader, John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, was supposedly buried here after his death in the battle.
The chapel was taken out of commission in the 1870s because it was rarely used. In the end there was one service a month; the last wedding conducted there was in 1873 and the final baptism was in 1878.
|Methodist Chapel
The village church now is the Church of All Saints. It dates back to the 13th century.
|All Saints Church
As well as carved monuments to the Darwin family a number of the stained glass windows are dedicated to their memory. This one is to Robert Alvey Darwin who inherited the Hall in 1842 but he died just five years later at the age of 21.
This is to the memory of Charlotte Darwin (d 1885). It was made by Heaton, Butler and Bayne who we have come across before (see .........................).
|Heaton, Butler & Baynes window
Here is a window designed by Herbert Bryans, dedicated to John Lloyd Wharton (The Colonel's father in law) who died in 1913.
|Herbert Bryans's window
There is a small black and white running dog in the top left hand corner of the inscription panel on this window ... this was Bryans' trademark.
These two are also from Bryans's studio.
Personally I like this modern one the best:
|Paul Quail window
Here are the rest.
Even more impressive is the bravery of Captain Joseph Richard Dench MC of the 5th Battalion, the Sherwood Foresters who earned three MCs in a five week period in the last two months of the First World War. On 29th September 1918 he captured a gun battery and two machine guns. Four days later he and his men were attacked at Montrehain but he managed to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy. Then on 6th November (within a week of the Armistice) he lead his company over difficult and wooded countryside at Priches under continuous hostile machine gun fire. After the war he lived quietly. He never wore the medals. He died in 1953.
|Royal Coat of Arms
The oldest house in the village is Ardmore House on Low Street. Nearby cottages date back to the early 1700s. IvyHouse for example has the date 1729 on the side. The initials D T S stand for Thomas and Sarah Derry, the first people to live there.
|Street view

|The Black Giant!
|The Chequers pub and Funfair Brewery
The pub building is over 250 years old and was a coaching inn. The earliest reference to the name Chequers actually comes from ancient Pompeii. Our word 'exchequer' orginally meant a kind of chessboard but moneylenders and accountants began to use checked money tables so very old inns in England may have been using the sign to show they were prepared to act as banks in the days before such establishments were on the high street.

Here is a graphic of some key words that have meaning for me:
I recently developed a 100 Day Plan (With thanks to the Mission School District, and the folks that put me onto this idea at the UBC Short Course, July 2010). I have continued to use it as a guiding document that helps keep me on track at school:
100 Day Leadership Plan
Principals' leadership behaviours during the first 100 days of their tenure are critical to their success in moving the student learning agenda forward (Allison, 2008). Using what research tells us works in school leadership (Marzano, 2005), describe below three non-negotiable leadership strategies that you'll employ during the first 100 days of the current school year to focus for your work with staff on the school growth plan. Examples of these strategies include daily classroom walkthroughs, double blocking for literacy, scheduled time for teacher collaboration, learning focussed staff meetings, etc.i

Much media attention has been given to a recent poll by the Canadian Payroll Association, which (among other things)claims that 59% of respondents would find it financially difficult if their paycheck was delayed by a week. This story has been picked up by several newspapers, but my question is: can we trust the interpretations of the data?
Taking a look at the actual poll from the Canadian Payroll Association, I'm left with a lot of questions about the data-set used to come up with the numbers, especially in connection with Canada's workforce. For example, though women make up roughly half of the Canadian workforce, they account for 73% of those surveyed. Not that this deters from the findings in relation to an individual who is concerned about his or her financial wellbeing, but it does raise the question of whether this is an accurate representation of Canadian workers or not.
A second issue I have with the survey is that there is no breakdown of industry. Knowing what workers were polled would give greater insight into the demographic validity of the survey. A disproportionate number of steel workers, for example, could very easily skew the findings. The closest question is about respondants' position within their organization, in which case we can see that 66% are in non-management rolls.
My problems with the demographics continues in regard to the geographic location of those polled. Though Alberta, for example, makes up only 11% of the Canadian workforce, workers from Alberta make up 32% of the survey data. On the flip-side of this is the fact that workers in Ontario and Quebec make up 38% and 23% of the workforce, yet only make up 27% and 8% of the survey respectively.
I'm also a bit unsure of how to interpret to what degree a financially troubling situation is. Michael James on Money raised this point in a recent article, and looking at the survey gives us no help. We are left wondering what each respondent's thought was when she or he answered.
The actual question is "If your pay cheque was delayed for a week how difficult would it be to meet your current financial obligations?" The 59% number is actually the sum of 3 possible answers: very difficult, difficult and somewhat difficult. "Somewhat difficult" sounds more like the annoyance that is talked about in the linked article above.
Beyond the question of 'what is difficulty' I am also wondering what a 'financial obligation' is. I could give myself the financial obligation to put a certain amount of my paycheck to a retirement plan, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I skipped a week, or pulled from savings to make that RRSP contribution.
So can we trust the numbers? I say yes and no.
Though I don't think we can take the survey and say with accuracy that 60% of Canadian workers are living paycheck to paycheck, I do think we can probably take the numbers as an indication that there is a high proportion of Canadian workers that could find themselves in financial difficulty. Whether the real number is 60% or 40% is not important; the survey is a pointer to a problem.
I do think there are some interesting points in the survey though. While there is a general feeling of worry on one hand, 68% received a wage increase in the last year (though it may or may not have matched inflation), 62% of those surveyed expect a wage increase within the next year, 92% feel confident that their taxes and benefit deductions are accurate, and 67% feel the economy in their town or city will improve over the next year.
Another great thing about reading the actual survey is the inclusion of a select number of actual responses. Reading those comments from people makes you realize that there is a large number of people who are worried about debt, housing and their children's education. And that is far more important that any numbers game.

AROUND 50 people attended a public consultation to discuss the future of musculoskeletal (MSK) services in Coastal West Sussex today.
Health chiefs from the Coastal West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) presented a new MSK pathway to the audience at the CCG's offices in The Causeway, Goring.
A three-group discussion was then opened up, focussing on three questions: 'what are your views on the model of care we are trying to commission, what are your views on who we commission this to and what other views do you have that we ought to consider?'
Addressing the audience, Katie Armstrong, clinical chief officer of the Coastal West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "This is all about us listening to you and hearing what you want to say to us.
"Throughout this process to improve services for musculoskeletal patients we have heard loud and clear from you that, not only do you want to be involved in helping us to understand what a good model of care looks like, but that you also want to be involved in how we go about, as a commissioner, buying that care.
"We know we need to improve musculoskeletal services and that remains an absolute priority for the CCG. What we don't know and what we have made no decisions about is the next steps into how we actually do that."
The model put forward by the CCG is designed to bring the key joint and muscle pain services – physiotherapy, community musculoskeletal team, orthopaedics, rheumatology and chronic pain – together into one system.
Dr Su Stone, clinical programme lead for the CCG, said: "You'll see your GP as you normally do. If your GP feels you need a service they will refer you into one team. Once you're in that one team that's it, no more referrals. Just one letter and once you're in, everyone will wrap around you and make sure you get the care you need.
"If you need to have surgery you'll have the option of going to all the different hospitals you go to now. You will have your surgery and continue to be cared for by that team, You won't lose anything you've got now it will just be much more integrated."
The model has been coined the hub and spoke model – three main hubs surrounded by community care centres.
Reaction to the model was generally positive with the audience acknowledging the benefits of an integrated system, however concerns were raised.
These included fears over the privatisation of the NHS and the impact it would have on existing service providers, and doubts surrounding the implementation of an integrated IT system.
Speaking after the event, Margaret Bamford, lead governor of Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said she thought the meeting was very positive and that it was good to see the CCG 'reaching out and listening'.

Striped Gold: These are similar to the Golden variety, but a bit lighter brownish-gold colored. When mature, the stripes tend to disappear and they lose any goldish coloring. If you breed these together, you should get a small percentage of Gold and Magenta. There is also a small chance of some Ivory.
They are very hardy and can handle cold quite well, but they will die if the temperatures get much below 40 F in their box for several hours. They will also not travel well if the box gets much above 90 F for too many hours.
Apple Snail - Pomacea diffusa (formally P. bridgesii), these beautiful snails now come in several color varieties. We will be adding more color varieties in the future. The only plant we've seen them eat is duckweed - which they love. A really big one will grow to about 2.25" in diameter. They lay their eggs in a cluster just above the water line, so it's easy to control them. Just remove the clusters or keep the water to the top of the tank. Dark Striped Purple (DSP) have a dark foot with purple shell and purple stripes. The Light Striped Purple (LSP) have a light foot with purple shell and purple stripes. The foot color affects the way the shell base color appears and the shade of the purple. There is a fair amount of variation among the adults. The ivory apple snail has a light foot in a clear shell. Keep in mind that shell color changes as they grow. As it grows, the shell becomes thicker and less translucent. The pigments often deepen and change in hue. Large adults tend to have less bright colors (though not always) and shells with more imperfections.

I was a huuuge fan of Siobhan Vivian's Not That Kind of Girl (I even interviewed her! My first interview either!) and I was sooo excited when I heard about her latest book. I also wanted to add that despite my reluctance to like full-face pictures of girls on covers, I really love this one because her expression is perfect.
Summary (goodreads)
An intense look at the rules of high school attraction -- and the price that's paid for them. It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn't matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.
This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, "pretty" and "ugly." And it's also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two
My Expectations: really high, NTKoG really surprised me by how good it was, and I wasn't about the make the same mistake twice
Delivery: really, really well done :)
Put-down-ability: despite 8 narrators, the plot still flowed very well, 3/10
My Thoughts
The List isn't your typical multiple narrator story, I mean, stemming from the fact that it's following eight different girls and spans about a week.. I felt that these two core components of the book did not work as well as I hoped. As with all books featuring different POVs, I greatly enjoyed seeing how the same incident (the reveal of the List) affected their lives. Even though I was intrigued by who came up with the list, I was more interested with the girls' lives—which was a good thing. I found all the narrations to be compelling though I'll admit sometimes I had trouble juggling all the names.
If you ask me which author writes high school settings the best, my answer is Siobhan Vivian. She writes a high school with realistic dialogue and what feels like real people. Real people. It's not made up of stereotypes and one dimensional characters, she has fleshed out, authentic people making up the school, from the groups of school friends to the various pitfalls and social make-up of the different grades and ages.
I had a problem with the short time frame though, I felt that given the novel takes place over a week, it felt like some of the larger, overall character arcs/development were less believable. That said, the story caught its rhythm early on as everything flowed without a hitch.
I really liked how the plot unfolded in the end, and I felt that served as a triumph for the novel because it reveals the complexities of people—there is no martyr or evil queen, there is no ending with a bow on it, there are no perfectly redeemed characters. I liked the plot reveal and how it showed that even though I wanted that one character to point to and say "she's awesome, I want her to win at life!" life doesn't work like that and people aren't perfectly good or perfectly bad.
Rating in HP Terms: Exceeds Expectations
Recommended for: high school girls, all contemporary fans!
Acknowledgements: very nice, 3.5/5
8.4/10- because The List is a compelling, smart novel that paints a complex, contemporary high school setting. The characters' voices are believable and the plot is unpredictable, you'll definitely want to know how the story ends. I had a few issues with character development over the time frame, but I loved how Vivian thoughtfully tackled the broad themes of young adulthood.

You think other parking structures have inferior designators. "What's level three? I parked on Donald!"
You know how to tell people to stand clear of the doors in multiple languages.
You are a little wary of any and all elevators.
While in a car, you move your arms to prove to your mom that you have properly secured your seat belt.
You also put your arms up when going down any steep hill.
You make shoe purchase decisions based on whether they would be good for the Park.
If you see someone wearing jewelry you like, you wonder if they'd like to trade.
You expect to find a trash can every 30 paces.
You find it odd when service employees aren't wearing jaunty, themed outfits.

You expect every line to give you a standby wait time estimate.
You attempt to board a train, trolley, horse-drawn carriage, or boat without a ticket.
You feel like magical music should be playing at all times. Period.
You boil real-life places down to the land they'd belong in. Tokyo? Tomorrowland. Yosemite? Frontierland. Or Critter Country. Hmm…
At 9:30 pm every night, you look to the sky for fireworks.
You expect the Dapper Dans to show up while you're taking a stroll in the neighborhood.
You start adding "Have a magical day" to the end of mundane interactions.
You search your local frozen foods section for Frozen Lemonade and Mickey-shaped ice cream bars.
You've tried to recreate a character topiary in your garden.
You start every car ride with an announcement asking that all passengers keep their hands, arms, and feet inside the vehicle for the duration of the journey.
You expect everyone to wear name tags so you can call them by their first name and identify their hometown.
You get worried about traffic at 3:30 because of the afternoon parade.
You pull on random ropes and doors expecting to hear a sound effect.
To you, every well is a wishing well.
You check your car for Hitchhiking Ghosts.
For the record, none of these are autobiographical. You believe us… right?

The Way of the Old West
The Old West was a melting pot of folks from different
walks of life. These
folks decided to move west for a number of reasons: to start a new life, to
help open up a new land, to run from the law or trouble, or just to change
of life.
The West had no room for the lazy and weak, and they were weeded out by
the land. The people of the west had zero tolerance for lazy and weak folks, mainly because those kind of folks were a danger to others as well as theirselves. No one in the old west asked questions, no one even cared what
your name was, a man or woman was judged by hard work, honesty, and
courage. A man's word was good as gold and he was expected to live up
to his word if he gave it, if not, it turned into a shooting matter real quick.
A man did not harass or molest a woman in those days, he would find
himself hanging from the wrong end of the rope or shot on sight if he
harmed or molested a woman in any way, even women who were abusive
were respected to a point.
A man was judged on how he worked, no one cared what he did in the past
or back east, as long as he carried his own weight and worked hard, no one
asked any questions. A man who approached a night camp did not walk
right in, he "hailed" the camp first to let the cowboys or ranchers know he
was there. One did not approach a camp without giving notice, a man could
get shot that way. Once invited into the camp, he was usually fed, drank
coffee and rested, sometimes staying the night. When a man left the camp,
he would say he is going to "Lit or light a shuck" which in the older days when a man left a camp at night, he would use a corn shuck, (the center of a corn
cob) as a torch to light the way.
The Gunfighter: This was a man who for the most part earned a reputation
he did not want. He was naturally good with a six-shooter, or pistol. He had
excellent hand-eye coordination which made him quicker to the draw than the average cowboy. The gunfighter usually did not hunt trouble, he sometimes was a law-abiding man who was not somebody to push into a fight, especially if you did not know him. The gunfighter did not scratch notches in the pistol
grips, that was a "tinhorn" trick to keep count of how many men he killed. He was also not a braggart. One well known man who earned the reputation was
Lance Kilkenny. You can read about him on the internet, see my links page, and Louis L'Amour wrote three stories using Kilkenny as the main character, but L'Amour researched Kilkenny and used that in his stories.
The Outlaw: This was a man or woman, such as Calamity Jane, who strayed to the wrong side of the Law. They were usually cattle rustlers to bank robbers.
Some law-abiding men who were unwillingly pushed into the life of an outlaw becuase they killed the wrong man in a strange town in a fair fight, but the guys brothers did not see it that way, nor cared, so he did what he had to do and hit the outlaw trail. The Outlaw Trail was a trail in the mountains that ran from Mexico to Canada. Another favorite hideout of the outlaws was called the Hole in the Wall, a hard to find place that no lawman dared enter.

[Photograph of Mrs. McCamely]

Paper Piecing is Not My Thing, but...
After frantically searching for papers that would try to realistically feature the mother's hand and baby's feet, I stopped, took a breath and laughed at myself. "Come on Pat," I told myself. "You are reaching out of your little creative box, so why bother with realism?" my goodness, I didn't know I was so wise! LOL
So I picked a paper with word art themed around the entity we call mom; then I chose another paper to coordinate, and my image is pieced! I added a sweet sentiment and framed it with a paper doily. Hmm, too plain on that card stock background (my next battle will be with white space). So I popped on some cute baby-themed buttons, that lovely border of trim. Not enough! so I doodled a few tiny white hearts on any un-embellished space and my card was finished.
I am entering my card in Ike's World Challenges blog. The theme is paper piecing and I double dog dare you to play along!! LOL
And remember, crafters--have fun!!
Other Challenges I am Entering:
Hiding in My Craft Room - Free Style
Alphabet Challenge blog - B is for Beautiful Babies
Scribble & Scrap Challenges - Always Anything Goes
Sister Act card challenge - Anything Goes

Listen for answers
to these questions. If you need
to ask a question, wait until after the librarian
finishes talking and asks "Are there any questions?"
before you raise your hands to ask questions.
1. What is a journal?
2. Where in the library are the most recent (the newest) journals kept?
3. In which room are the encyclopedias kept?
4. What are two major general encyclopedias that the library possesses?
5. Find out the name of a medical encyclopedia the library owns.
6. What is a call number? Where is it located on a book? Why are call numbers used?
7. If you know the title number of a book (say your teacher has given it to you), what are
two ways you can you find who the author is?
8. If you know a topic you wish to research, but don't know the names of books that might
help you, other than asking the librarian, what two places might you go to in order to find out this information?
9. A library's card catalog is usually organized in three ways. One is by subject. The other
two are by ________________ and _________________.
10. If you go to look for a book, and the book you want isn't there, why might this be?
11. What is OVID?
12. Can you access OVID from your home computers?
13. What kind of information can you find in OVID?
14. How can you find out if our library owns a particular journal?
15. If you need a book, and the library doesn't own it, what is the name of the process
whereby the library can get it for you?
16. What is the name of the room older journals are kept in?
17. How long are you allowed to borrow books for?
18. Where can you go in the library to xerox information from books or encyclopedias?
Can you pay with money – or by what other means is payment made?
19. What hours are the library open?
20. On a separate sheet of paper, write a short paragraph describing what materials are
kept in either the periodicals or circulating room. (Include a topic sentence).

Community Planning Grants Available
New Hampshire Housing has announced the Community Planning Grant Program (CPG), which will provide over $1 million in competitive matching grants to New Hampshire municipalities. CPG funds will assist in the development of ordinances and regulations that help build and sustain prosperous communities. Qualifying projects include the development of mixed-use zoning, village plan alternative, in-fill development, workforce housing, inclusionary zoning, and lot size averaging ordinances. Other eligible projects include building codes for energy efficiency, corridor planning, creation of neighborhood heritage districts, economic development connecting housing with transportation, and regulatory reviews. Master Plan updates may be included in the grant but only in support of a proposed ordinance. CPG grants will be available in two rounds, one in 2012 and the other in 2013. In the first round, municipalities may apply for one-year grants of up to $30,000 or two-year grants of up to $50,000 to provide technical assistance in modifying local regulations so that socially, economically and environmentally healthy communities can be achieved. Special funding allocations will be made for communities that want to create neighborhood heritage districts or adopt inclusionary zoning ordinances that promote housing affordability. First round grant applications are due on June 15, 2012. For more information about the CPG Program, including application materials, please contact Lisa Murphy of Commission staff or visit the NH Citizen Planner Collaborative at www.nhcitizenplanner.org.

Supports Chapter 20: Diabetes deceit
Aspirin should not be routinely prescribed to diabetics for the prevention of heart attack and stroke, say researchers.
The Prevention of Progression of Arterial Disease and Diabetes (POPADAD) Trial involved 1,276 people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who had no symptoms of coronary heart disease. Participants had either a daily 100 mg aspirin tablet plus antioxidant capsule, an aspirin tablet plus placebo capsule, a placebo tablet plus antioxidant capsule, or a placebo tablet plus placebo capsule.
Results showed that aspirin – whether taken alone or in combination with an antioxidant capsule – did not significantly reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease or stroke, or non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke.
The researchers conclude: "This trial does not provide evidence to support the use of aspirin or antioxidants in primary prevention of cardiovascular events and mortality."
Let's face it, as Type-2 diabetes is so easily and quickly rectified merely by a change of diet, why take risks with any drugs?
Belch J, MacCuish A, Campbell I, et al. The prevention of progression of arterial disease and diabetes (POPADAD) trial: factorial randomised placebo controlled trial of aspirin and antioxidants in patients with diabetes and asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease.

Jacob Aaron Kirby was charged with kidnapping after allegedly taking his former girlfriend against her will.
On Jan. 11, Campbell County Sheriff's deputies worked in conjunction with the Caryville Police Department to make an arrest in the case.
According to CCSD reports, the victim stated Kirby, 25, of 407 E. Kentucky Ave., forced her into a truck at LaFollette Estates and took her against her will to the Motel 6 in Caryville.
Kenneth Jordan got a trip to jail instead of a milkshake when he fell asleep in the Sonic drive-thru last week.
On Jan. 14, LaFollette Police Officer Michael Baker was called to the restaurant to investigate reports of a man being passed out in his vehicle that was sitting just feet from the drive-thru window.
The driver's window was down and Baker reported reaching through to turn off the ignition. When Kenneth D. Jordan, 29, of 508 W. Walden Street, was awakened he was asked to step outside the car.
After months of investigation a Duff man has been charged with raping a child.
Campbell County Sheriff's Detective Ricky Jeffers began looking into the case involving Danny Lambdin, 55, of 5273 White Oak Road, Duff, after receiving information a female child had reported Lambdin had been touching her in an inappropriate manner.
Records indicate School Resource Deputy Meghan Wilson received information that the child was being touched inappropriately by Lambdin and called the 24 hour Department of Children's Services hotline to report the complaint.
The third district commission seat vacated by Melvin Boshears on Dec. 1, 2011 is still vacant.
And it looks like it may stay that way, at least for now.
On Tuesday evening the county commission took up the issue in two separate motions but neither managed to garner the eight votes needed to pass.
Commissioner Johnny Bruce kicked off the topic with a motion to leave the seat open until the August election.
The Campbell County Board of Education hopes to expand learning opportunities for students as it plans to open two new alternative learning centers next school year.
The school board is currently preparing to begin renovations at the old East LaFollette School. The city of LaFollette also owns part of the former elementary school, but the wings that previously connected it with the school board's portion have been torn down.
"The building is in excellent shape," Rector Miller, BOE's building and grounds committee chairman said.
This weekend, men will gather at Galilee Bible Camp to learn about Biblical masculinity.
While these men may engage in outdoor activities, the retreat's main focus is spiritual.

Before agreeing he was guilty of abusing a nursing home patient, Donald R. Nelson appeared hesitant.
On Tuesday the 63 year old appeared in Campbell County Criminal Court to answer charges he had sexually assaulted a female resident of Cumberland Village Nursing Home. At the time he is alleged to have committed the crimes Nelson was an employee at the facility. He was terminated once the allegations surfaced.
Chillyfest is coming to Veterans' Park in Jellico this Saturday.

On Feb. 3, Jellico women will join many across the nation in wearing red to promote awareness of heart disease.
"Red is just a symbol of heart disease," said Doris Stiers, who is helping arrange the event.
The Youth Basketball League will have its first basketball games in the gym at East LaFollette this weekend.

This an on-going list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about residency classification and reclassification at UMass Lowell. New answers are added regularly. Please send inquiries to email@example.com.
Some of these forms are in PDF format. You must have Adobe Acrobat software installed on your computer to view PDF files. Adobe Acrobat can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe Acrobat website.
Yes, your residency will be changed to Out-of-State. You may also be eligible for the Proximity Program depending on your permanent address (this program applies to New Hampshire residents only).
If you register for courses through the Division of Online & Continuing Education, your tuition and fees will be based on credit-hours (click here). However, if you take a day-program course, your residency will determine how much you will pay for the specific source. Visit the Division of Online and Continuing Education on the residency status main webpage.
Probably not. Informal living arrangements do not support the claim of residency unless legal documentation can support an exception. If you are an unemancipated person, and claimed by your parents on their most recent income tax returns, your parents' residency will determine your residency classification.
Your residency will not change to in-state. If you relocate to Massachusetts to attend a college or university, this action supports the intent to pursue and education but it is not considered intent to establish residency for tuition and fees purposes. The regulations state "residency is not acquired by mere physical presence in Massachusetts while the person is enrolled in an institution of higher education".
As long as you are a legal dependent of your parents, you will be classified as a Massachusetts resident. Additional documentation may be requested to support this claim.
For purposes of residency classification, readmission is considered a new application. Your residency classification will depend on how long ago you relocated to New Hampshire:
No. Your residency is based on your/your family's permanent address. A good indicator is your Federal Income Taxes. The address you list on those tax forms will be your permanent address.

In recent years, I have come across several individuals who fancy themselves as ISIS Hunters (so-called on account of their choice of apparel). None have struck me as the type who have actually seen combat, let alone combat in Syria or Iraq.
In my estimation, what the ISIS Hunter trend actually represents is an expression of anti-Islamic sentiment: a hatred of Islam in its entirety, not simply the fundamentalist aspect of the religion's ideology. I make this argument because when I engage with Islamophobes (as far as I can recall) none make any kind of distinction between moderate Muslims and their extremist counterparts. However, I am digressing. Time to get back on track.
I fully understand why someone would want to hunt down ISIS operatives. After all, they are murderous, rapacious, homicidal lunatics that must be stopped.
Yet, when the former individuals present themselves as engaged in physically combating ISIS, they demonstrate the most grievous degree of disrespect towards those combatants in the Middle East who, as I write this, are locking horns with ISIS. The brave warriors of the Peshmerga (and the like) deserve more than to have their life and death struggle co-opted by individuals far-removed from the conflict, for their own political agenda no less.
Before signing off, I would just like to express my admiration for the brave fighters in Rojava (Christian and Muslim alike), who are actually fighting to secure their future, and that of their children.

By: Steve Dougherty | Motherboards News | Posted: Nov 12, 2009 11:53 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
DFI has just unleashed a tidy looking mini-ITX sized P55 chipset motherboard as part of its feature-impressive LANParty series.
Dubbed the LANParty MI P55-T36, this board of course maintains focus on overclocking and runs dimensions of just 17cm x 17cm. A x16 PCI-E slot is resident for your graphics card of choice and the audio system onboard is better than your average joe with Creative X-Fi technology.
Also inclusive is DFI's proprietory ABSII CPU Auto Upgrade Technology, a digital PWM, Power eSATA support and more.
Whilst availability and pricing hasn't yet been disclosed, further information about the board can be located within the official announcement here folks.

An air filter is located above the evaporator coil in an air conditioner, typically in a special slot within the duct system or inside the return grille. The air filter is made of paper and is either folded fuzzy-looking.
When owners do not change the air filters in their air conditioners regularly, air flow begins to decrease. The air filter helps the air-conditioning unit to run more efficiently. The filter cleans the air by removing particles or debris from the air stream. As the air filter functions, it collects particles. When too many particles build up on the filter, it can lead to air pollution or cause the evaporator coil to fail. When this occurs, the unit can not blow cool air and the system begins to perform poorly.

Whenever people decide to change the mattress and discard their old ones, they probably do not realize that not giving much of a though and buying a brand new mattress may have some negative consequences which may leave them with aches and pains all over in the long run. A lot of tend to downplay the significance of this decision and that is why they end up with bad postures, pains and really terrible quality of sleep as well.
In this artic we will be walking you through some of the most commonly made mistakes people tend to make while investing in new mattresses, but before we get into that, you should know that checking reviews is quite essential in making this important decision regarding the mattress you will be sleeping on for the next 10 to 15 years. It is especially important to look at the consumer reviews of purple mattress and other types of mattresses as well. Once you know of the different materials that are frequently made, you will be extra cautious while investing in a mattress and will be able to make the purchase without a problem. Following are some of the mistakes people tend to make while purchasing a mattress, check them out below.
While picking out a mattress for yourself, most people tend to pic one that has the highest ratings on the website. This can be a shot in the dark, you might get lucky and get a good mattress or you might end up getting a mattress that is bad for your back and may cause pains. So never randomly pick a mattress just go to different review websites and check out several reviews regarding the mattress. If there is no consistencies between the reviews then they are most probably paid ones, try to avoid them and go for the genuine ones.Read More

- Everything in the Commdore 64 version of Double Dragon
- Q*bert
I spent a while just staring at this game while preparing this comic, and I have no idea what to make of it. It's kind of like when they have TV shows about people programming computers and they cut to absolute gibberish on the screen and you know it must mean something but it's just beyond you.
Anyway! There is a NES version of Archon, which graphically is the best of the 8-bit versions, but lordy the music drives me nuts.

The malicious part about Key-find.com is that it adds key-find.com to your Windows Start Menu or even to random Windows shortcuts on your desktop.
Once installed, the browser hijacker will alter the settings of your default browser, and your home page will be replaced with that of Key-find.com. It will also start displaying various advertisements and sponsored links in your search results, meaning that these search results may be manipulated. The content of these links is not endorsed by KeyFind and therefore it does not assume liability. By clicking on any of the links from the search results, you might be taken to an infected website which automatically exposes your PC at risk of being infected as well.
What is even more disturbing is that Key-find.com uses cookies to monitor your moves and actions online. It records that information and then sends it to third parties. After all, this is the main purpose of all browser hijackers – to gain revenue and increase page ranking of certain websites through the manipulated search results. That is all clearly stated in their Privacy Policy and the only way to protect your system is to remove Key-find.com simply from your PC.
How Does Key-find.com Find Its Way on Your PC?
As with most browser hijackers, Key-find.com finds its way on your PC in two ways – you either personally download it from its official website or it slips on your PC through another free program you download. The method through which adware is attached to freeware is called "bundling" and is often used by adware authors.
The reason behind is that the bundling option is mentioned through the installation process of the freeware, but users rarely pay attention to such details. They bluntly accept the "next" steps without reading what they are really accepting. In other words, adware creators and advertising agencies take advantage of your negligence and impatience to finish up installing a particular free program.
In order to stay safe when installing anything from the Web, you must always disallow the recommended installation settings and choose the "advanced" or "custom" ones instead.
How Do You Remove Key-find.com from Your PC?
Remove Key-find.com either by finding a trustworthy anti-malware program that will delete the threat permanently.

It turns out that TeX is wholly unsuitable, as it is a graphically
oriented format. The formulas should be entered in a semantically
correct manner, and one should develop a suitable syntax for
that. Therefore, I am developing my own, better suited, format. Once
the formulas have been properly entered and parsed, it becomes easy to
add suitableĀpretty-printing format.
The current pretty-printer tries to write closely to the input
theorems and proofs, with additional diagnostics, i.e., whether a
statement was proved or not. One can also write out the proofs in a
human readable format. This is needed for proper debugging.

This is, as you say one very important aspect. If the formulas are not
readable to me, then I cannot debug properly. Right know, the most
difficult part is to make sure the proofs are completely accurate
(according to standard metamath).
In fact I have come quite far. Instead of a Prolog first depth search, I
make a breadth first search, and I have a format to write out the proofs
by which I can easily check their accuracy. (I have been able to attain
some automated induction proofs, i.e., theĀtheorem prover finds the
induction predicate, and the user only needs to guess which formulas to
use in order to cutĀdown the proof search paths.)
In addition, I have recently started to use Unicode UTF-8, using correct
mathematical symbols instead of ASCII words. This turns out to help up the
code a great deal.

As always in math, notions and notation are closely intertwined. In
the computer language design version, semantics and syntax should be
closely worked together. Since I am the only user, it suffices right
now to use a static grammar, handled by Flex and Bison. But the
question is what dynamic extensibility will lingers on the horizon.

Right now, I want to avoid doing anything more than the core
math. Thus, I have only a very small math set which contains only some
math core components to play around with.
But it runs out that one can do quite much with a text only syntax,
both using only ASCII, but also using UTF-8. AĀgraphical pretty
printer would be beneficial for handling sup-/super-scripts and other
more complex math notation. But right now, I do not have so much need
for that.

What is 19/15 in simplest form? And i also need help on how many times does 21 go into 62
15 goes into 19 once and you have 4 left over, so 1 and 4/19 is answer
how i do the second one is double the first number, is that over the second, no then tripple it.
so 21+21 is 42, still smaller, 42+21 is 63, that went over so 42 is the biggest whole number part and it went 2 times.
what is left over between 42 and 62, you can subtract if you can not do it in your head.
62-42=20, so the answer is it goes in 2 times with 20/21 left over, so the final answer is
2 and 20/21

Edmund Unravels
written and illustrated by Andrew Kolb
2015 (Nancy Paulsen Books)
Source: Durham County Public Library
It's funny - when talking about a ball of yarn, the end is actually the beginning.
Edmund Loom is a ball of energy. He wants to see everything and live life to the fullest. Edmund's adventures, whether around a corner or in a tree, finish with his parents having to reel him back in. He tries to keep it together, but he is a restless ball of yarn. As Edmund ages, he goes further and further away from his family. His parents have a harder time pulling him back to them. Edmund sees all that life has to offer. Wonderful sights and sounds intrigue him and even the scary parts, like kittens chasing him, are "part of the adventure." He enjoys meeting different figures, such as a pin cushion, a button, a glue stick, and sipping a cup of tea with a vial of glitter. Wouldn't his parents be amazed to see him on the back of a kite above the world! But sometimes we can get a little far away from base and have to decide what is truly important to us. Edmund faces this decision.
Edmund Unravels is a sweet metaphor for growing up and being independent. Adult readers will relate to his adventures and recall their own youth. I think this would actually be a nice graduation gift book if you don't want to go the Dr. Seuss route. Young readers will enjoy the bright illustrations and different creatures that he meets. I would follow up a reading with questions about why family is important and what is interesting to students outside their town or city. Edmund Unravels also made me think about the challenge of dealing with restless children in the classroom.
If you are interested in a creative take on life, check out Edmund Unravels. Not that I want to string you along.

Chapter 13
This chapter is about managing conflict and negotiation. Conflicts are always present in daily life, work, school, on the streets. However, there is always a way to find a solution that would make the two parties in conflict come to a compromise. According to Rachel Zupek, writer for CNN online, "Human resource managers report spending 24 to 60 percent of their time, dealing with employee disputes." One of the reasons that work places are experiencing conflict is poor communication to employees that leads to poor leadership decisions. In any cases, early intervention in any conflict is the key to managing the conflict before it becomes an even bigger problem. Managers should give the employees the permission to debate by promoting an open discussion followed by a resolution and in this way; the end result will be more productive. It is always important to keep in mind that direct communication with the other person is the best way to solve the conflict instead of avoiding the conflict and creating an issue in the work place. Also for managers it is important to investigate and document the conflict, as well to take appropriate action.

Bristol UWE Travel Challenge
Cycling is officially the best way to commute in Bristol according to the UWE Bristol Travel Challenge. A group of four staff from UWE Bristol took part in a race today to find out what mode of transport is the fastest and the most satisfying for the daily commute to work.
Part of the range of activities that the university has been running this week to celebrate Sustainability Week the Travel Challenge saw four competitors each choose a different mode of transport - car, cycle, bus and running shoes.
The cyclist made it to UWE in 17 minutes and the car took 36 minutes more on an average commuter journey today.
The commuters all started from the same point on Gloucester Road, approximately 3.5 miles from the main Frenchay Campus.
Sustainability Week organiser, Vicki Harris said, "We are delighted that the cyclist and the runner came first and second as these two modes of transport produce the lowest carbon footprints of all travel modes. It's also fantastic to have proof that the bus journey overtook the car – a testimony to to the efficacy of bus lanes."
Steve Ward, UWE Bristol's Transport Planner, cycled the 3.51 miles arriving on Campus at 08:29 in first place in just 17 minutes, at an average of 12.39mph.
Steve Ward describes his journey, "Setting off, I immediately realised I had left my gloves at home – not a great idea on such a cold morning. Leaving the car park Geoff sprinted off like a bullet. About 20 yards later the lights turned red at the junction of Sommerville Road. Not a great start for me!
"Turning off Gloucester Road, up Cricklade Road and onto Kennington Avenue a broken down car blocked the road with steam coming out of the radiator. So the cold snap was causing difficulties for others too. I sailed down Ashley Down Road and Ralph Road, past a queue of stationary traffic along Muller Road then over the new cycle bridge on Petherbridge Way. There was a long, but not very steep climb up Dovercourt Road and this was nice and quiet, with hardly any traffic.
"I continued through the traffic-free path by the Bonnington Walk rugby pitches and round the cycle paths by the MOD. Seeing someone running in the distance ahead of me, I wondered if Geoff had kept up his pace and was about to beat me to the finish line. But the runner wasn't wearing Geoff's trademark Hawaii shorts, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
"I arrived at the cycle park by R2 building not too out of breath, but with very cold hands. Wish I'd remembered the gloves! I had a shower and some coffee and waited for the others to arrive."
Geoff Andrews ran the 3.24 mile journey in 28 minutes at an average speed of 6.94mph. He said, "I had a very enjoyable and energising run into UWE from Gloucester Road today, and I feel fresh for the day ahead. Regular running has been a very good way for me to keep fit and healthy- and it is free too. I was able cut through bits where the car can't go. Overall - a great journey to work!"
Caroline Bartle, from the Centre for Transport and Society, travelled to work on the bus. The 4.13 mile journey took 39 minutes and the average speed was 6.35mph. Caroline describes her journey, "I don't usually take the bus, I normally cycle, but I did so today for the travel challenge.
"I was pleasantly surprised by the bus experience. Firstly, there were plenty of UWE buses at that time and I let two pass before the start of the challenge (including a free student bus). The U2 bus I used was new and comfortable, and it was full but not over-crowded. We inevitably got stuck in traffic a few times, but the waits were not too long, and a lot of time was saved by the new bus lane between the MoD and UWE.
"I found sitting on the bus a bit boring as I normally cycle, but now I've tried it I see it as a good alternative and will probably use the bus rather than the car on days when cycling is difficult, for example in bad weather or when I have lots of things to carry."
Billy Clayton drove to work and the 4.13 mile journey took 53 minutes, travelling at an average speed of 4.68mph. He arrived at work at 09:05, over half an hour after the cyclist.
Billy said, "I usually cycle to work so driving in was a bit of an eye opener. I found the journey really frustrating even though I had the radio on. The traffic was chock a block and I literally crawled into work, a journey that would normally take me 12 minutes on my bike. I wouldn't choose to come into work again in the car; normally I arrive feeling energised after a cycle but this was quite the opposite in terms of a travel experience."

This term the topic in Year 3 is the rainforest and as an introduction the pupils enjoyed their first official visit to the Science labs where they had the opportunity to study different plant cells under a microscope.
The lesson started with a talk on the importance of safety in the labs before pupils moved on to study different plant cells. The children had to sketch and make notes on what they observed to reinforce their learning. From their enthusiasm and responses, it appears we may well have a few future scientists in our midst!
