Predator Monday: Funniest Screencaps from 'To Catch A Predator '
Not to celebrate a group of scumbags, but modern dude website Guyism posted their favorite screencaps from To Catch A Predator. Since we're a fan of sneaking host Chris Hansen into as many pictures as we can, we couldn't resist paying it forward.
Humor like this kind of takes the edge off the idea that these are disgusting dudes that intend on literally raping children. Suddenly, I'm all out of LOLs and OMGs.

Raise your hand if you love a good TED Talk. Alright, nice, a lot of you do so this post is worth it. And since this is a venue focused on comedy, that's what these TED Talks are all about. Of course, this is a sampling. There are many TED (or TEDx) talks about these subjects, which you can find online via your preferred search site.
Anatomy of a New Yorker Cartoon
"The New Yorker receives around 1,000 cartoons each week; it only publishes about 17 of them. In this hilarious, fast-paced, and insightful talk, the magazine's longstanding cartoon editor and self-proclaimed 'humor analyst' Bob Mankoff dissects the comedy within just some of the 'idea drawings' featured in the magazine, explaining what works, what doesn't, and why."
Comedy is Translation
"Every act of communication is, in some way, an act of translation. Writer Chris Bliss talks about the way that great comedy can translate deep truths for a mass audience."
Don't Do Your Best
"How to lead an improvised life by the inventor of Theatresports and world-renowned improvisational theatre instructor Keith Johnstone."
Learning Lessons Through Improv
"After decades of working with comedian greats such as Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers, Keegan Michael Key, and Steve Carell, Kelly Leonard shares the lessons he learned through improv."
Make 'Em Laugh: Common Ground in Comic Characters
"Are some things always funny? While most jokes rely on cultural context, comic performers throughout history have found common sources of amusement that transcend linguistic or national boundaries. Actor and historian Matthew R. Wilson finds the funny in character types from Greco-Roman comedy, Commedia dell'Arte, Kyōgen, and contemporary film and television."
Silicon-based Comedy
"In this first-of-its-kind demo, Heather Knight introduces Data, a robotic stand-up comedian that does much more than rattle off one-liners -- it gathers audience feedback through advanced sensors and tunes its act as the crowd responds. Is this thing on?"
Your Brain on Improv
"Musician and researcher Charles Limb wondered how the brain works during musical improvisation -- so he put jazz musicians and rappers in an fMRI to find out. What he and his team found has deep implications for our understanding of creativity of all kinds."
The Way of Improvisation
"Improviser and storyteller Dave Morris teaches you seven steps to improvising and how they apply to life in 'The Way of Improvisation.'"
What Makes Things Funny
"Pete McGraw is a leading researcher at the Humor Research Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In this talk, he not only discusses what is funny but what makes something funny, as well."
Jason Hensel is a graduate of the DCH improv training program and performs with .f.a.c.e. and the '95 Bulls.

Black, white, and Alexander Wang
This has been the longest week, EVER. Whew! In the small amount of time that I've had off from work, I've been putting outfits together with great pieces that are classic to my personal style and are permanent staples in my wardrobe. This is one of these outfits: long sleeveless jacket, mini-bag, nike's, everything neutral. I just feel better when I wear black and white, and since I've been working a lot lately I'm feeling most comfortable in outfits that are the truest to my personal style as well as easy to put together.
I automatically gravitate toward black, (so much actually, that I have to make sure I'm not wearing head to toe black on a daily basis) and it's super easy to grab a couple staples in shades of grey and white and they automatically go together, effortless!
...I know it's been around for a while now, but I'm also still really loving the "athleisure" vibe, and wearing my Nike Juvenates with everything. Literally. I went a little crazy recently and bought a handful (yes I have a shopping problem) of athletic shoes in a range of styles/colors and my feet have never felt better!
PS. how cute is this bag?! Not only is the color on POINT, it is so edgy and cool (much like all of Alexander Wang's creations) It has matte black hardware including studs all over the bottom which makes it so different! It is the perfect size, because it looks like a mini-bag but it fits more than you'd expect. I've never had an issue fitting everything I need into this little guy, and as far as designer bags go, this one is on the affordable end of the spectrum! This particular color combination is exclusive to Nordstrom, they also have other color combinations to choose from, I'll leave it linked with the other outfit details below!
Thanks for reading! xo
Alexander Wang bag here, Topshop vest similar here, Cupcakes and Cashmere top similar here, Topshop jeans here, and similar on sale here, Nike Juvenate sneakers here

After a brutal loss against India earlier in the day, Sri Lanka faced more misery against Scotland as they lost their second tie in the group stage this evening 4-1.
India thrash Sri Lanka to kick off the Commonwealth Games
Thilini Hendahewa and Sachin Dias pulled their fair share of weight in the Mixed Doubles event recording the first win for Sri Lanka in the 2018 Gold Coast Games. Going up against Alexander Dunn and Eleanor O'Donnell for a grueling three setter in the opening game of the tie, Hendahewa and Dias pulled through a victory after 62 minutes on court. Sri Lanka won the 1st set 21/17 only to have the Scottish pair tie things at 21/16 in the second. The third and final set wrapped up in 29 minutes with the winning score going up to 27. (Scotland 25)
Hendahewa and Dias' efforts were in vain with Sri Lanka losing the next three matches in the Men's Singles, Women's Singles as well as the Men's Doubles rather tamely. Niluka Karunaratne went down to Kieran Merrilees in the Men's Singles, 21/14, 21/17. Hasini Ambalangoda played her first match at this year's Games taking on the Women's Singles. Kirsty Gilmour thumped all over the Lankan sparing only 9 points in total – 21/4, 21/5.
With Dinuka Karnuratne opting to sit out the tie, Niluka teamed up with Buwaneka Goonethilleka against Alexander Dunn and Adam Hall. At an even 21/16, 21/16 the Irish pair finished on top to take the tie at 3-1. The final doubles saw Kavidi Sirimanage and Thilina Hendahewa up against Kirsty Gilmour and Julie Macpherson. The latter was in real trouble after Sri Lanka grabbed the first set 21/18. However, their fight back in the second set to level it at 21/9 was enough morale for them to close out the third and final set 21/9.
Sri Lanka will take on the only remaining tie in their pool, Pakistan, tomorrow the 6th with hope of scoring a win here to save face before their exit in this year's Commonwealth Games.

Six Personal Highlights & Lowlights From The Past Few Months
It is so weird to think that we are actually in August and that we are so close to September! Like where did the time go? It seems to be pasting by so fast. The last time I did one of these was a few months ago and found that, they were fun to write and also very therapeutic. So, I have decided to write this one for this month!
1. My Dad Suffered A Stroke: In my last post about my highlights and lowlights, I had mentioned that I lost my grandmother; who was my father's mother. The day before my dad was to leave to go to her funeral in Ghana, he suffered a massive stroke. To say it has been hard for my dad and our family would be an understatement. It has been a difficult few months for us. My dad had his stroke in April and was in the hospital until late June. And although he is home, his recovery is far from over. There is nothing worse in this world, than seeing your loved ones sick, it is so awful. His stroke has really affected me in more ways than I could have imagined and it has been a struggle dealing with it, but I believe that everything happens for a reason, I just don't know it yet.
2. Struggling With Motivation & Inspiration In Life: I'm not the kind of person that finds it difficult to be motivated or inspired, but the past month, I have struggled hard. The struggle is so real, I want to cry. I started a new job and the change has really affected my blogging and YouTube. I literally can't find the time to do my blog or YouTube, which is weird because I have never had this problem. What's weird is that I have not wanted to do it, like I just can't be bothered to write, film, or edit and that has been so heart breaking for me because I love blogging so much. I have slowly started to get back into it, hence this post, but this time of being unmotivated and uninspired has really shaken me and made me doubt myself which is so scary.
3. Figuring Career Path & Finances: With the above two things, it has hit my finances and career path really hard. The thing is when your family member is sick you need to be there. Not because you have to but because you want to and that cost money. It has been an interesting thing to learn how illness can cause a financial strain, whether it is traveling or just buying what needs to be bought. I also lost a freelance client in all the chaos of life and that has also been a negative hit financially, but the one thing I have learned about money is that it comes and goes, so I have learned to look on the bright side. When it comes to career, starting a new job has been exciting, but even in something exciting and great, life throws us some very surprising challenges that I am currently figuring out. With my lack of motivation, I have struggled massively with my business of blogging. This has really made me think twice about my career and now I really need to get back on the right path for myself and my career.
1. I Left A Toxic Work Environment: In May, I finally left a job that had been killing my soul and self-esteem. I know that sounds a bit dramatic, but if you have ever worked in a place were it was toxic, you know what I mean. I was at this particular job for 2 years and 9 months, and through that time, I had many sleepless nights worrying about going into work, feeling uneasy, and being treated rudely or unfairly. Those 2 years and 9 months taught me a valuable lesson about myself and who I am, but man, was it tough. Looking back, I wish I had the courage to have left, but sometimes, great health benefits, wonderful vacation days, and days off will keep you in a place were it turns out that those benefits are there because you will really need them. With that being said, there were a handful of people and I literally mean like 5 people who were amazing to work with but over all, the major lesson is to leave a place that hurts you and does not serve you! I am a much happier person not being there.
2. New Job: I GOT A NEW JOB!! The best part about leaving a toxic work environment is going to a positive and better work environment! The change in career and job has brought a lot of personal happiness to my life and has also given me a wealth of knowledge that I love. I get to work in an environment that I like and where I get to learn something different everyday. With any job comes its challenges and I am currently working through that. I am so thankful that these challenges don't include the soul killing stuff, lol. More like how can I balance life, new job, and a side hustle.
3. Freelance & Podcasting: So this is quite exciting! I have decided to make my business official and register it within my province and country. (You can check out the services I provide, here! ) Now, the goal is to turn my side hustle into a full time job, which I am learning is very difficult but I have a thing with doing things that are difficult. Another highlight is I'm going to start a podcast! Aaah, I have been listening to podcasts lately and they have really helped me and given me another avenue in which I can extend Bev's Eye View. I know that this blog and my YouTube channel aren't the biggest or most successful but it doesn't mean that there aren't new territories to explore and I honestly think that the next frontier for bloggers and online business owners is podcasting, so I am going to throw my hat into this game and see what comes out of it! I have no idea when it will start, but I am thinking sometime in the fall, late October or November!
What has been the best part of your summer so far and what has been some challenges you have faced? Let me know!
Ps, I have missed posting! So much love for you all!!

PSBA 2018 Membership Dues Are Due Before January 1st
PSBA members are reminded that 2018 dues are due by December 31st, 2017.
For the first time in many years, dues have been increased to $50 per individual and $70 per couple/family. By renewing prior to December 31st, save $10 and pay only $40 per individual or $60 per couple/family.
The dues increase was discussed and approved by the entire board, with the following in mind:
- Rental rates at the Center for Urban Horticulture have increased 78% since 2015.
- Travel costs and fees have increased for guest artists.
- Aki Matsuri has been replaced by Japan Fair, which offers excellent exposure but at increased cost, with no opportunity for paid workshops or tree sales.
- Membership dues cover less than 50% of our operating costs, with the remainder coming from our annual auction and miscellaneous revenue such as raffles.
The board works hard to control costs and balance the annual operating budget. VP Josef Leibfried has looked at alternative venues but so far has not found the same combination of accessibility, parking, facilities and staff support offered by CUH. Josef has worked to contain cost increases by targeting West Coast artists where possible and re-introducing a "member roundtable" format for at least one meeting per year. Lynn Paietta's campaign to increase participation in guest-artist workshops has helped offset workshop costs.
Meanwhile, the board continues working for the future. 2017 saw the reinvention of the Spring Show under the leadership of Kyle Funakoshi. With the help of Edd Kuehn, Tony Fajarillo and Mark Epping-Jordan, we have invested in new exhibit stands that are easier to handle and will be reused over and over again at future events. The annual auction chaired by Aaron Pollock maintained its upward revenue trend. Thanks to the financial success of the 2016 PSBA Convention led by Linda Breeden and Doug Bradley, PSBA has for the first time established a convention savings account to grubstake our next major event.
Be a part of our ongoing success by renewing your membership. Cash and check payments will be accepted at the upcoming General Meeting Monday November 27th. Or, renew online today. Click on the Join/Renew tab, and follow the prompts through our simple and secure payment system.
Thank you for your support of PSBA!

Perhaps going to a doctor would be better? But, water and rest. And so, television. I went through Twin Peaks on Netflix, a few lessons on Swift and SpriteKit on Lynda.com, started watching Kill La Kill and am now finishing up season 1 of Game of Thrones since I was able to get half off rentals at a local place. It sure is easier to watch a season of something than to, say, replay Final Fantasy 4. However, I have a real itch right now to replay FF4.
It's so easy, though. At least with the Lynda.com account I am adding some knowledge for when I am coding. But I've been coming home each day, making it through the work day mostly fine, with a raw throat and just complete exhaustion. Is it a cold or just the cold? In my seven years in Japan I haven't felt this cold ever. I lost a lot of weight from last year to this, and perhaps that is it? But it's cold. Real cold.
Renting things in Japan allows for some neat stuff like watching a show dubbed in Japanese or alternatively putting subtitles on and seeing how lines get translated. It's fun to see the Japanese and guess what the English is going to be. A nice little extra even though streaming is so much easier than handling DVDs. And yet, Netflix likes to be sloppy with the subtitles. Not that I can get Japanese subtitles.
The wisdom was that TV rots one's brain and I wonder. I wonder because I am having a hard as hell time writing for the past few weeks. Words are not coming out as easily. Perhaps that means I need to write more and stretch more. All this reading and consuming does feel good. It feels like I am restocking the well and may be able to get something when I dip the pail down in. Right now, it's not happening as much. But I'm just plugging away.

Even if your symptoms are severe, they can become stable with treatment. Long-term care can put stop flare-ups. The best plan is one that uses medicines and psychosocial treatment over time.
Bipolar disorder is best controlled when treatment is constant. Mood changes can happen even when there aren't any breaks in care, though. Tell your doctor about any changes right away. Your doctor may be able to put off a flare-up by making changes to your plan. Work with your doctor and talk about your concerns and choices. This can help make treatment work better.
Keep a chart of your daily mood, treatments, sleep patterns, and life events. This may help you and your family learn more about the illness. It can also help your doctor track and treat it better.

Paddington #4: Paddington Abroad/
Book Information
Rating: Excellent
Reading/Interest Level: Primary
Author: Michael Bond
Illustrator: Peggy Fortnum
Publisher: HarperCollins
Year: 2015
Pages: 176
When Mr. Brown announces that the family will be going to France for their summer holiday, Paddington is excited to take his first real holiday, especially when he is put in charge of the itinerary. He decides that going on holiday is a special occasion so he takes money out of the bank, gets stuck talking to customs over some confusion about a passport, makes a meal of escargot for the family, visits a fortune teller, goes fishing, and joins the Tour de France before returning home to London.
This book has a more coherent theme than the other books because the whole book describes Paddington's adventures getting ready to go to France and then his time there, but each chapter still tells an individual story about things Paddington is doing. No matter where he goes, however, Paddington will always end up in some sort of trouble. Readers will enjoy Paddington's adventures in a new place and enjoying the holiday with his family.

A data analytics company has harvested information from more than 50 million Facebook users. That data was used to "change audience behavior" and advance political projects like Brexit and Donald Trump's White House bid.
Facebook has some explaining to do. To be more precise, the social media giant has to explain how personal data from up to 87 million users was harvested by Cambridge Analytica and used to further political agendas in the UK, US and even Kenya.
Lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic have made sure Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifies as to whether the networking platform failed to protect user data. The scandal has also prompted campaigns urging users to delete their Facebook accounts.

Infrastructure and property group John Holland has won the $170 million NSW government tender to develop a new commercial precinct on Waterloo Road, Macquarie Park.
The company's winning tender marks the fifth development project for the China Communications Construction Company-owned group as it makes its way into property development.
The strategic 3.2ha development site can accommodate up to 117,000 sq m of commercial office space over five stages.
The initial stage will be anchored by a 25,000 sq m pre-commitment by Property NSW to be delivered in 2019.
[Related reading: From Precinct To City; Inside The Opportunities And Challenges For An Evolving Macquarie Park]John Holland CEO Joe Barr, said the $1 billion-plus development continues John Holland's shift in focus from being a market leading engineering and construction contractor to a fully integrated infrastructure and property company.
"We are already involved in significant joint venture developments in Brisbane and Adelaide and focused on a number of opportunities across the country," Barr said.
"This is a strategic site located in the heart of Sydney's second biggest commercial district and adjacent to the soon to be upgraded Macquarie Park Sydney Metro station. We look forward to working with Property NSW and the City of Ryde to unlock the site's full potential, enhance its transport connections and create a precinct for everyone that works, visits and lives in Macquarie Park."
Executive General Manager, Tom Roche, said the development would bring significant benefits to the local community.
"This development will deliver a boost to the local economy, create over 4,000 jobs during the development phase and ultimately house over 2,500 office workers, cementing Macquarie Park as a key employment centre within Sydney. John Holland is proud to be once again be collaborating with the NSW Government to deliver this innovative project."
Development is scheduled to commence in late 2017.

Librarian Fired at St. Paul University
In response to a need to reduce its operating budget, St. Paul University in Ottawa, ON has decided it will likely be necessary to fire some of its tenured faculty members, a decision that breaches the faculty members' collective agreement. The only librarian currently working at the institution's library was fired earlier this month. The librarian had a permanent appointment at the university and was also a member of the Executive of the Professors Association of St. Paul University.

DuBose Strapping Expansion Announcement
On May 3rd DuBose Strapping, Inc. announced their decision to expand their Clinton production facilities by adding a new plastic strapping production line to their existing steel strapping production facility. This new facility creates 34 new jobs at an annual average salary of $ 35,000 to $ 40,000 and a taxable investment of $ 9.4 million.
This expansion decision was made after DuBose considered whether to expand their Clinton facilities or purchase an existing plastic strapping production and marketing company in South Carolina. This decision was supported by the recent incentive support provided by the Sampson County Board of Commissioners, the Clinton City Council and the North Carolina Department of Commerce.
DuBose Strapping will immediately begin the construction of a new 45,000 sq. ft. production facility which will be able to produce 900 tons of plastic strapping per month. With the creation of these 34 new jobs DuBose Strapping's total employment in Clinton will reach 137.

Q and A with Fucked Up frontman Damian Abraham
Had to angle this towards a 50-year-old demographic who's probably offended by this band in every possible way--from beards to tattoos you can bet most of them think Fucked Up is garbage. I, obviously, don't. Also, this was intended to be a profile of the band, and there were separate interviews with other members. Unfortunately, the format was changed from 1000-word profile to 500-word Q and A. The questions I asked, many of them omitted here, were with the profile format in mind.

Cherry Tree
brand identity
The Opportunity
Rebrand a creative agency by leveraging the agency's 'ahead of its time' focus to create a new brand identity that will resinate in other industries and help them seek new opportunities to create positive change.
Long a metaphor for truth and honesty, George Washington's cherry tree actually has a story that runs deeper than the most commonly-known version. In fact, the truth of the story about honesty is that it never happened. At least, not in the way it's been told all these years. But you'd only know that if you keep digging at the widely-accepted version to uncover the real truth, and that's what we do here. Plus, we're big fans of irony.

I know that saying is a bit of a cliche, but it is true. Words do mean something. And, in the Bible, they really mean something. The writers of the Bible did not just add words to meet some "minimal word count". They meant exactly what they said.
Recently, I finished a study of the Book of Acts. In one of the passages, Luke records a conversation between Festus and the Jews in Jerusalem. Note the prepositions that Luke uses:
Now three days after Festus had arrived in the province, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews laid out their case against Paul, and they urged him, asking as a favor against Paul that he summon him to Jerusalem—because they were planning an ambush to kill him on the way. Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea and that he himself intended to go there shortly. "So," said he, "let the men of authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them bring charges against him." After he stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought. When he had arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him that they could not prove. Paul argued in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I committed any offense." But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, "Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried on these charges before me?" But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you yourself know very well. If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar." Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, "To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you shall go." - Acts 25:1-12
Isn't that interesting?
Today, we usually refer to "up" as "going to the north". And, we refer to "down" as "going to the south". However, that is not the way that the Biblical writers used those words. According to them, "up" meant "up" and "down" meant "down".
Jerusalem sits on the crest of the central mountain range at an elevation of approximately 2,700 feet. Caesarea, since it is on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, sits at sea level. So, from their perspective, the path to go to Jerusalem was definitely going "up". And, from Jerusalem, you would go "down" to get to Caesarea.
As you read through the Bible, don't just read past these small prepositional phrases without thinking about them. Why? Because words mean something.

Celebrating a milestone
Agraduation party is a special time, a day you begin your life's journey, and family and friends help us celebrate the special day.
Although Saturday afternoon was gloomy for the occasion of John Michael Lane Fox's graduation party, people still made it a happy, enjoyable time.
Christie Estep was in charge of giving the party at her home in Washington. Family and friends came to take part in the special occasion. Christie and her daughter, Allie, did a fantastic job decorating and preparing food for the party.
Although it was gloomy, the rain held off, and outside was a corn hole game going on. Everyone seemed like they were having so much fun tossing the corn bags.
Jonathan Clatterbuck had hotdogs and hamburgers flopping on the grill, and there was baked macaroni and cheese, green beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, fruit, different kinds of cheeses, along with other side dishes. Everyone was hungry and ready to dig in.
After the food and fellowship, beautifully decorated cupcakes were presented by John Michael's mom in the theme of the 2018 graduation.
A wall was beautifully decorated with a collage of photos of John Michael. Seems like he was just born yesterday. Wow, does time fly fast. Here he is, my grandson, now ready to walk across the stage for his high school diploma, and off to college in the fall.
Job well done, Christie and Allie! It was the perfect way to say we wish to share this time with you, John Michael, to laugh, to smile, and to cry, because, before we realize precious years will go by.
John Michael would like to thank everyone who came to his celebration, for the gifts, and most of all for sharing this memorable time with him.
John Michael graduated on Sunday, June 3, from Mt. Carmel Christian Academy in Luray. He will be attending Lord Fairfax this fall.
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams John Michael. Follow your heart, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice some along the way. Above all, don't let anybody try to limit your dream. Follow your dream and your heart, you will succeed in life.
As Walt Disney once said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."
Good Luck John Michael on your journey ahead.
The Middle Street Gallery in Washington will host an innovative exhibition of collaborative art from May 25 through the month of July. There will be an opening reception for the show, kuh-lab-uhreyt , on Saturday., June 9, from 3 to 5 p.m.
The collaborative process involves passing partly completed paintings from person to person, each taking turns with a paint brush.
"As we work on each other's art we look for threads of commonality to build upon," Ann Currie explains. "It gives us opportunities to see things differently and be introduced to new mediums, materials and formats."
"It is an opportunity to be dedicated to a process
As Walt Disney once said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."
rather than a product," Jim Ramsey says. "It is a great exercise in trying to create unified work while still retaining our own style to a large degree."
"In our discussions of the work in progress we learn from each other, and what we learn stimulates new visual expressions," Pam Pittinger says. "At times we respond in unexpected ways that surprise us all."
Prepare to be surprised at the gallery in the coming weeks. Hours are FridaySunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 540-675-1313 or go to www. middlestreetgallery.org.
I am feeling for you and your family. May God's grace give you strength during this difficult time.
Old asphalt shingles that were meant to resemble wood are being removed from the historic "Mayor's House" on Main Street in the town of Washington and replaced by Peter Post Restoration of Richmond with heavy hand split Western red cedar shake shingles. The Mayor's House is owned by the Inn at Little Washington.
My condolences go out to Annita Jordan from Washington, on the death of her daughter, Tasha Harding, who was sweep away by the fast rushing water down at the Graves Mountain Festival. Words fall short of expressing the sorrow I am feeling for you and your family. May God's grace give you strength during this difficult time.
Belated birthday wishes go out to Destiny Compton, who turned the big 40 on Tuesday, June 5. May you have many more birthdays to come. Destiny, a little birdie told me.
A new more historically accurate roof for the historic Mayor's House in Washington.

Six NYFW shows that brought the catwalk to the public
Sep 13, 2019 | By WGSN Insider
Mar 09, 2009
Paris…Hussein Chalayan
Fabric manipulation and innovation has been a trademark of Chalayan's, as evident with last season's tough-to-beat molded "windblown" silhouettes. In mostly grey tones, a new fabric emerged for his F/W 09 collection: acetate foam. Entitled "Earthbound," looks in the synthetic material was used on dresses and coats to create rock formations similar to boulders found on a construction site. In reference to rebuilding the city around him, these shapes were irregular but could be stacked upon one another to form a better world. Sticking to an abbreviated hemline for dresses, garter-style thigh-high boots matched perfectly. Molded latex was borrowed from the previous collection to create breastplates on wrapped dresses. Another type of sculpture came from oversized outerwear that enveloped the body.

Our learning approach to math emphasizes the multi-step process involved in solving mathematical problems. Our standards-based curriculum focuses on the multiple learning styles of our students by engaging them in visual strategies, interactive activities, math games, and more.
For elementary school math, teachers draw from a range of programs including GoMath, Finish Line and Spatial Temporal (ST) Math.
ST Math
ST Math is an instructional program that boosts math comprehension and proficiency through visual learning. Created by MIND Research Institute, Spatial-Temporal (ST) Math is a game-based instructional software for math instruction that builds a deep conceptual understanding of math through rigorous learning and creative problem-solving to engage, motivate, and challenge students.
The ST Math software games use interactive, graphically-rich animations that visually represent mathematical concepts to improve conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.
Integrating with classroom instruction, ST Math incorporates the latest research in learning and the brain and promotes mastery-based learning and mathematical understanding. Students at PS 84 access the program on iPads and computers, in the classroom as well as the Technology room.
Algebra for all
We are among the first schools to introduce the Algebra For All program in grades 5-8. All students in this program will complete algebra no later than 9th grade, enabling them to access more advanced math courses in high school and better preparing them for college and careers. This program allows for the students to be on track to take the AP Math exam in high school.

We have a great weekend planned for you and your family here at Drew Farm! We expect the weather to be a little on the warm side but not too warm to enjoy some great outdoor apple picking. We will be picking McIntosh and Cortland for the next week or so before we open up for other varieties. Don't worry about the draught - We have plenty of apples! They may be a bit on the smaller size but that means there is more flavor packed into each apple!
The tractor will be running to bring you, your family and your picnic up into the untapped orchard. Our retail area will have apples packed for you for quick purchase. We will also have fresh cider donuts, Drew Farm Root Beer, fresh apple cider and, weather permitting, roast-your-own s'mores at a our orchard-side fire pit. On Sunday afternoon, enjoy your picnic to the music of Lukies Fortune! Hope you can join us!
Our prices for pick-your-own are: $26 for a half bushel (~20 pounds); $15 for peck (~10 pounds) or 2 pecks for $26; and $8 for a half peck (~5 pounds).
For daily updates visit our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/DrewFarm?sk=wall

Posting the chunks I really want to remember of the beautiful book Utopian Dreams by Tobias Jones
Quoting Percy Smith, Letters from a Community:
The temptation for all of us, everywhere, is to contract out of this real world, to try and create an easier world of one's own, and to keep out of trouble at all costs. The alternative is to accept the challenge of life, to avoid all escaping, however subtle, and to go further and further into reality through decision and crisis and conflict. By doing so we inevitably question the cynicism and superficiality and escapism of our contemporary attitudes.

Legislative Session a Mixed Bag for Most
Despite passing a few historic, broadly supported pieces of legislation this year, the second half of the 108th General Assembly may be remembered — especially during the coming election season — not so much for what did happen as what didn't.
A number of bills died as the session waned that were backed by vocal interest groups and policy advocates, or that seemingly enjoyed solid support among key majority-party lawmakers.
Some of the more noteworthy measures that couldn't get over the hump in the Legislature's last days were a school-vouchers agreement, loosening gun-carry restrictions and phasing out the state's "Hall income tax" on investment profits.
Democrats, particularly in the House, took pride and assumed a share of credit for the demise of bills they deemed particularly repellant. The minority leader in the lower chamber, Craig Fitzhugh of Ripley, sent this message out to his Twitter followers Tuesday: "Guns in Parks? Dead. Open Carry? Dead. Vouchers? Dead. Not bad two days work."
All the same, from a Democratic standpoint plenty of injudicious inaction and ignoring of needy constituencies occurred this year under Republican rule. Attempts to establish a state minimum wage and sign Tennessee up for Medicaid expansion under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act sank without a bubble.
Given the ideological lay of the land in the GOP-run General Assembly, those initiatives had little realistic chance of success from the get-go. But what really came as an unexpected and unwelcome shock to Democrats was the announcement by Republican Gov. Bill Haslam just a couple weeks ago that sagging state revenue collections were forcing him to abandon plans he'd announced earlier in the year to bump up pay for teachers and state workers.
Democrats in the House were so put off by what they regarded as the governor's last-minute "broken promise" they even mulled joining forces with a band of conservative Republicans to try and figure out a way to reinstall the raises.
Ultimately, the cuts stayed and the raises went. Minority-party dissatisfaction with the $32.4 billion state budget was such that only four Democrats in the Legislature — three in the Senate and one in the House — voted for it.
So in short, plenty happened — or didn't happen — to peeve a wide diversity of Tennessee's politically tuned-in during the 2014 General Assembly.
However, at least three of the bills approved by state lawmakers mark a shift in longstanding policies that will likely produce results that a lot of ordinary Tennesseans may notice — and that are designed to expand consumer choice, bolster property-rights protection and give greater freedom to farm.
And all three were initiatives that in previous years that likely wouldn't have passed — or were in fact attempted and failed.
By large bipartisan margins in both chambers, members of the Legislature approved measures legalizing the sale of wine in grocery stores, banning cities from annexing property without real owner-input and planting the regulatory seeds for Tennessee farmers to once again grow hemp, which has been illegal in the Volunteer State for roughly three-quarters of a century.
Back in February when it was becoming apparent that 2014 might bear fruit for wine-in-groceries enthusiasts, longtime liquor-law lobbyists Dan Haskell recalled that it wasn't too long ago the legislation was "having trouble getting a second" in committee hearings. This year, in addition to sponsors getting craftier at manipulating those committee votes, sponsors made it tougher for teetotalers and liquor-store-friendly lawmakers to vote "no." Key among the legislation's provisions was establishing referendums to empower local voters themselves with the authority to approve or reject widening wine-sale locations in their communities.
The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro, and Rep. Jon Lundberg, R-Bristol, passed 23-4 in the Senate and 71-15 in the House.
The measure prohibiting "forced annexations" by Tennessee municipalities without a local vote of the people or permission from the property owners was sponsored by Rep. Mike Carter of Ooltewah and Bo Watson of Hixon, both Republicans. It passed 85-4 in the House and 21-1 in the Senate. As the House was putting the finishing touches on the bill April 2, Majority Leader Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga, noted that such a shift in law would have been unthinkable in the General Assembly until recently.
"When Rep. Carter brought this bill in the beginning, a lot of people told him that it was just laughable, that it couldn't be done, that it has never been done in decades and that a certain group just wouldn't let it happen," he said. "And I think he has proved that things have changed around here and has brought some legislation that is going to put some power in the hands of the people."
The bill to legalize hemp was sponsored by Rep. Jeremy Faison, R-Cosby, and Sen. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains. Bolstered by some language in this year's federal farm bill that encourages hemp-farming and research, House Bill 2445 directs the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to establish a licensing system for farmers to raise non-psychoactive varieties of cannabis that can be used for paper, fiber, fuel, textiles and food for animals and humans. Even just a few months ago, Tennessee GOP leaders like Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey and Gov. Bill Haslam were admittedly clueless about industrial hemp and efforts to legalize it.
Haslam has yet to sign the hemp legislation, which passed the Senate 28-0 and 88-5 in the lower chamber. The wine-in-groceries bill was inked by the governor during a special ceremony last month. Haslam signed the annexation bill earlier this week.

Four Social Media Myths - BUSTED
"Oh, I just told my friend to post on Facebook for her business. It's free." "OMG, I WISH my job were to play around on Instagram all day!" "How hard can it be to do Pinterest for my business?" I swear to holy Moses, if I had a dollar for every time I heard these seriously misinformed ideas on social media marketing, I'd be able to at least buy myself a really nice pair of shoes.
NEWS FLASH: social media marketing requires a LOT more work and strategy than just "playing around on Instagram all day." Five years ago, you could get away with quality posts on your Facebook and Instagram and not really worry about sales funnels and strategy, but NOT ANYMORE, my friends.
Today, I'm going to be playing a much cuter and more stylish version of those Mythbusters guys, as we break down the top Social Media Marketing Myths.
MYTH ONE: "Facebook is free. I don't need to worry about social media, I just need to post to Facebook once in a while."
FALSE. Oh boy, is this one false. Well, technically, it doesn't COST anything to post to Facebook on your business page, but you get what you pay for. Long story short: 1-2% of the people who "Like" your Facebook page actually SEE your post.
Up until about five years ago, Facebook was pretty good for businesses - you'd add a good post and you'd get a lot of organic (i.e. unpaid) likes and comments. Facebook then realized, "Hey, we have this huge IPO and actually need to make money now," and began really ramping up their ad program. They changed their algorithms so that your organic reach for your business page would be abysmally low, and you'd have to pay money in advertising to get people to see those posts. Nowadays, a very small percentage of people who like your page are seeing what you post. If you don't utilize a really smart ad strategy and sales funnel, very few people are going to see what you're posting.
So, no. If you want people to actually SEE what you're posting, Facebook is NOT free.
MYTH TWO: I need to be on every social media platform on the planet. More is better!
FALSE. Please don't do this. It'll drive you nuts. Pick the 2-3 platforms that are most beneficial for your business, and stick with them. It's better to do three platforms correctly than to have eight of them that are rarely updated. Quality over quantity!
I once got an email from someone who asked for a price quote for me to implement and manage, I kid you not, "Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter, Periscope, Snapchat, LinkedIn, and Google+ pages" for their business. I told them that for their business niche, they really only needed three of those, if that. This person INSISTED that they needed all of these platforms, and they were dead wrong. Listen: unless you're a huge multinational corporation like Pepsi, you DO NOT NEED every social media platform on the planet. If you have a ton of social media platforms for your business, you'll need at least one full-time person to create content and manage them. It's a ton of work, and most small businesses shouldn't open every social media account they can find.
I don't use Twitter for myself and haven't recommended it to any of my consulting clients yet. Pinterest is awesome, but not for everyone either. Pick the best platforms for YOU and do them well, and you'll reap the rewards.
MYTH THREE: Facebook is where it's at for the cool kids!
FALSE. As of writing this in early 2017, Facebook is NOT where it's at for the cool kids. Millennials use Facebook FAR less than they did ten years ago, and Generation Z (kids born in the mid-90s to the mid 2000s) rarely use it at all.
When you're working on social media strategy, choose the platforms where your target customer hangs out - don't waste your time marketing to teenagers on Facebook, or marketing to middle-aged moms on Snapchat!
MYTH FOUR: I ONLY need to post pictures of my product on Instagram. I sell my product, so that's what I want to post.
FALSE. One time, I was talking about #clientproblems with my uber-talented friend Julie, who runs Spaghetti Fettuccine & Veal. A client of mine ONLY wanted to post crappy photos of their product, when I was advising them to run their Instagram as more of a "splash page" with their product intermixed with inspiration posts that their target customer would enjoy.
Julie put it perfectly: "No one wants to see pictures of their inventory." Unless your product shots are beautifully staged and edited, you should intersperse your feed with other content that's in line with what your target customer wants to see.

Family Happy with The Move
My father in law is doing very well since his move to this community. We are happy with his move here, we know he is in a good place. They have a lovely staff, and they have been very helpful and kind. There plenty of activities available for the residents, and he is trying a few of them. He is satisfied with meals. They are having a nice holiday dinner for the residents and their families. He is safe and in good hands at this community. We are pleased, and I would recommend it.
Our mother has been here less than a month but overall I believe it is a good choice for her.
Friendly, welcoming staff!
Our experience with Brookdale Marion has been a very positive one, so far! The staff here is friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable! They've been incredibly welcoming to our family and especially to our loved one. It's a smaller community with about 40 residents total, and I really like the staff seem to know each resident by name. I highly recommend them!
Overall Sterling House of Marion is praiseworthy all the way around. The staff is always very kind and helpful.
The only thing I can even think of where they can improve (and this is a very minor detail) is that the floor area where as soon as you walk in the door could be a tad bit cleaner. That is not a major issue though at all, and overall they are doing an excellent job and it has been a great experience.

Amazing Arts week!
This week has been Arts week here at BPS. After an amazing start with our Greek extravaganza, we have continued the Greek Theme. During the week we created a giant Hydra sculpture to Wow visitors in the arts exhibition on Thursday. We have also been involved with a spectacular installation in the Year 6 corridor. A inspirations mural. Ten iconic figures from modern and past history have been drawn and painted onto our corridor wall. It is absolutely AMAZING! There are a couple of other well known faces there too, can you guess who they are?
We also saw 4bs fantastic Opera on Thursday. It was fantastic and we heard the beautiful singing and production that has been planned by this very talented class.
The week culminated with a Native American day. We have made head dresses in the traditional style and Totem poles. Have a look at the photos from this spectacular week!
On Wednesday we had the pleasure of Mrs. Campbell coming in to do some story telling for us. she shared some of her favourite childrens stories with us.

A Open Letter To C-3PO
Dear secondary bane of the Star Wars universe,
You are the (second) most annoying character in Star Wars, only after everyone's favorite Gungan. You have so many flaws that it's hard to believe that you are even allowed to accompany the likes of Luke and Han.
You are supposed to be a protocol droid, but somehow, along the way you became so snarky and sarcastic that you have to point out every tiny little thing that could go wrong, as if we didn't know already. Isn't it bad for translation purposes to have a translator that corrects everything you say? I mean, c'mon, doesn't a futures society have anything that can replace you, don't they have thesauruses? Linguists?!! Google Translate??!!
Also, when did you become such a know it all? You brag about speaking everything from Wookie to Washing Machine, but you didn't learn any of that. You had it coded into you by some other machine, and now you're going around taking credit for all their hard work. What decent living thing would do this? Not only that, but you also are such a worrywart. Who cares about the statistics? Who cares if the mission will probably fail? Who cares if you've got a bad feeling about this? Worrying isn't going to help them go anywhere. If anything, it's going to slow them down!
In fact, you exist as a sort of sad little sideline character, always in R2-D2's shadow, sort of like the Jar-Jar Binks of droids. The only remotely interesting thing you do is get broken into pieces so Chewbacca can rebuild you, and even then, you're more of a hindrance to everyone else. It seems that the only useful thing that you do is save Luke & Co. from the Ewoks, and even then, you aren't the one to think of using your god status to help you friends, R2 is. On top of all that, when the Sand People attack in A New Hope you fall down—backwards. Like a penguin trying to watch a plane.
C-3PO, I know you're trying your hardest help everyone, but really, I think you need to tone down the snark, turn of the sarcasm, and lower the worry levels. Maybe then, I'll finally appreciate you.
