Vincent et moi
Vincent et moi is an artistic support and socio-professional integration program for artists living with mental illness. This program was created in 2001 at l'Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Québec, now the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale. The main mission of the program is to promote cultural and artistic input, to assist in showcasing artwork and help develop their art form.
Hôtel 71 is very proud to partner with Vincent et moi since spring 2015 and to support the four talented artists involved in the program. The Vincent et moi gallery and the different exhibition spaces of Hotel 71 allow the guests to discover and to purchase the artists' works.

Someone I know joined the Army 18X program. In this case it was a 5 year enlistment. It guarantees a man a shot at becoming a Green Beret. It does not guarantee he will make it.
The guy I know started basic with 57 other young (and not so young(men in his platoon and part of the next one.
Two and a half years later, he received his Green Beret and assginment to an "A" team. Roughly 7 others he enlisted with also made it. Maybe another 7 had not passed some portion of the difficult curriculum.
Spec Ops troops are gold. But few make it through.

Last week I gave you a look at the dining and living/music room in our new house. If you need a refresher, you can check it out here. Lets keep on strolling through the foyer toward the back of the house. AKA, where we live. The kitchen and family room.
Here's a little reminder of the floor plan with the original paint scheme and the small changes we've made:
A little, ok, a LOT, of Sherwin Williams Windfresh White has completely changed this space. The green just wasn't the vibe I was going for and I can't wait to rid the whole house of the minty, not-so-restful, color.
So much better! The trim still looks fresh and white and it feels like I can breathe. The even bigger change for me is the white fireplace surround and mantle. I think it looks SO much better now (even though it was a giant pain in my patootie!). That yellow-orange, grainy wood just wasn't my jam. And I've got a looooong way to go in here. The hubs needs to hide the wires by the TV and we need to get a smaller cabinet to house the media equipment under that window. I wish there was a way to do built-ins, but even a really low bench wouldn't work. It would block the entrance to the the stairs that lead to the second floor.
Honestly, the paint color is a little stark with nothing on the walls, no curtains, and against the dark red furniture (which looks best with a tan or beige color). But, all of those things are changing, too! I'm planning to move the white blinds upstairs to the girls room. I'm so glad the windows are the same sizes because the second floor currently has roller shades which aren't very functional (or pretty). Also, the windows on the front of the house on the first floor (living/music & dining room) have these same blinds so it will give some continuity to the front of the house from the outside. I'm going to add bamboo shades in here to bring a little wood tone to this side of the room. I'm hoping that will mimic the maple cabinets that are in the kitchen.
And, speaking of the kitchen. Here she is…
How's that for showing you the good, bad, and ugly. This is the day we came to paint after we had closed, but before we had our stuff. So what you see is painting supplies, take-out trash, and a tub of cleaning supplies that we hauled north from New Orleans. Oh, and our "furniture." An outdoor folding chair. Which was a gift considering that we had NOTHING to sit on the last time we moved and our furniture delivery was a week late.
But back to the kitchen. The paint color is a HUGE improvement. I'm not a big fan of the cabinet color, countertop, or appliances. I really want a white kitchen (check out my kitchen Pinterest board for proof!). I was determined to paint the cabinets until it really sunk in that I had black appliances. Boo. So for now, I'm living with them. At this point we can only guarantee 2 years in this house. Who am I kidding?! We can't guarantee anything. But, if we find out we're staying longer there will be some BIG changes in here. I'm thinking Whirlpool Ice or GE Artistry appliances, a butcher block island, and soapstone surround. Oh, and white cabinets. The cabinets themselves are awesome. They're good quality with deep, soft close drawers. The layout has been working out really well (even though I miss having an actual pantry) and the sink is a dream I didn't know I had. It's large and deep on one side with a smaller side for the garbage disposal. I learned that it's an off-set, undermount, double, similar to this. Who knew that's what I wanted? Certainly not me.
And I really want you to see this view. This shows how you see back into the other spaces in the house. Which is again, why I need a more cohesive paint scheme. Standing in this spot at this very moment I can see Windfresh White, the minty green (foyer), a dark peach (living room), and two yellows (dining room). It's too much for my tired eyes.
So there it is. The first floor of our new house. Well, except the half bath and the laundry room. But, I may have stuffed all the excess stuff that I didn't want in these pics into those two tiny rooms. So they'll have to be in the spotlight another day.
I love, love, love house tours on blogs. I'm working on adding a house tour tab, but for now it would only have 2 posts. Blah. But if you have a tour of your home on a blog, leave me a link in the comments. I'd love to come
snoop around get some inspiration!

"Last night Ishmael got Really Wired" This is my own metal wire sculpture depicting Ishmael, the narrator of Moby Dick
As I am sitting here, trying to figure out how to start, I can't help but wonder what the great master writers did when they had a touch of writer's block. Melville grabs his little quill and his little bottle of ink... no, Melville sits down to his state of the art 1850's typewriter. He stares at the type writer and plays with the little bell thingy until a first sentence comes to him...
"There once was a whale named Moby". He glares at that for a while, trying to imagine all of the readers out there reading that first line of his fantastic novel. "There once was a whale named Moby" will go right up with "To be or not to be." Melville smiles a Melville grin and begins to write the second sentence. Before the next sentence becomes a key stroke, he rips the sheet of paper from the type writer and crumples it up (not unlike the way I've held down the delete key in my own way of literary protest). He tries the fantastic beginning again, with a touch of plagiarism:
"Moby was the best of whales, Moby was the worst of whales." he laughs at his ingeniousness and decides to call his novel "A Tale of two Whales". Of course, he would have to write in another whale, but that was workable. After some thought, he decides this would not do either. Pondering a narrative piece or whether to do it from the perspective of Moby Dick, he decided that a neutral character would be best. And what better way to start a story than to introduce the narrator:
"Hi, my name is Pip". The name sounded familiar but was a little short.
"I go by Penelope". It didn't quite flow and thought a male (being a member of a sexist society) would be more appropriate.
"My friends call me Ahab". He liked the name, but thought it would be better for a later character.
Melville sat and pondered the most appropriate name for a narrator. He thought of "Shirley", "Pequod", "Starbuck", and "George". He liked some of the names but none seemed right for the narrator. Melville let out a sigh of frustration and looked at his dog Ishmael. Ishmael was lying on the floor chewing on his milk bone and growling softly. "Oh, Ishmael", Melville said out loud, "all the names that I have thought of don't sound right. What am I going to do. I am trying to start this great novel, and I don't even have a name for my main character. I might as well just call him Ishmael.
And that's how Melville got through writers block.
Perhaps I'll break through my writer's block by revealing a little about the foundation of this home page. This home page was the collaborative idea of a crew that set sail for "Moby-Dick, HNR 303" at Northern Kentucky University led by Captain Dr. Wallace, a sea-faring mate more obsessed with Moby Dick than Ahab. We sailed through Moby-Dick in a few weeks and threw Moby-Dick to the wind. Our class sailed to Evanston (near Chicago) to see a rare collection of Moby-Dick art. Following the trip, we caught the wind of inspiration and spent some time doing our own art. The crew on the Moby Dick, HNR 303 had a near mutiny at the end of the semester with all of the projects due, but pulled through the storm with our leading captain, Dr. Wallace. Overall, The class was phenomenal. The entire class centered around 1 novel (Moby-Dick, of course) and we spent our time exploring, creating, philosophizing, and analyzing. I learned a lot, and I can now honestly say that I have Moby Dick under my belt.
Our individual art projects were a high flag to be flown. We had just about every art form represented: Musical composition, plaster sculpture, metal sculpture, computer projects, paintings (acrylic and watercolor), pastel, a still life complete with a pearl necklace and a bratwurst, stained glass art, and photography. The art was beautiful, but the amazing thing to me was that all of this artwork was created from Moby-Dick. It was an art piece that inpsired an art piece (many of which were influenced by the art pieces we saw at the Mary and Leigh Block Gallery).
Our project for the gallery trip was to choose an artist and write about his or her work. I chose a most stunning piece entitled "Moby Dick" by an art guru herself, Vali Myers. Perhaps the most compelling and inspiring piece of art work I have seen yet. The attention to detail and fluidity of expression that Vali Myers achieves in her work is a rival of spiritual contentment. I found not only Moby Dick and Vali Myers in the painting, but a little bit of myself as well.
Since this home page is a continually developing and growing one, I hope to soon have a picture of Vali Myer's "Moby Dick"; for now, just pretend you see it here. check back from time to time to see the growth of kallmeyer's home page. any e-mail is in order. e-mail me at email@example.com

The Wondrous, Sensuous World of Astralvision

You don't find it; it finds you, most likely in the dead of night.
You can't sleep, you may or may not be on drugs (you don't have to be, though it'd be a lot cooler, as they say, if you were), and you're clicking around the weirder back channels of YouTube again. You pinball from '80s-era NASA test footage to "36 NEW SHOWS FROM THE HELLISH MID-SEASON TV OF 1979" to the deep catalog of VHS oddities discovered and uploaded by a dedicated corps of obsolescence fetishists. It's here, among the creepy camcorder detritus and lost video-dating profiles, that "Electric Light Voyage" has been waiting for you.

For those interested at all in mammoths, you probably know about them going extinct. Some of you will also know that a very few mammoths managed to survive the immediate, main extinction, managing to make it until about 4,000 years ago before the last one bit the bullet.
In my curiosity, I frequent several blogs. On more than one, every time the subject comes up about the mammoth population going extinct at the onset of the Younger Dryas cold period 12,800 years ago, some bloke brings up the facts of these small island populations of mammoths, the last group of which survived until more or less 4,000 years ago. They are correct about those mammoths surviving. But are they right about that not being an extinction event at 12,800 years ago?
There is a post-extinction-event condition called "Dead Clade Walking". Wiki does a decent job of introducing the subject, so I will quote from them:
Dead clade walking also known as "survival without recovery" refers to a clade (group) of organisms which survived a mass extinction but never recovered in numbers, becoming extinct a few million years after the mass extinction or failed to recover in numbers and diversity.
Now, I first heard of Dead Clade Walking on the TV show Elementary, a Sherlock Holmes in modern day New York City series. I had not heard of the term when Holmes used it. He actually DID explain what it meant to Dr. Watson, and when he did, that piqued my interest.
It piqued my interest because the principle of it seemed to be exactly what happened to those small mammoth groups that survived for up to another 8,000 years – only to finally die out, anyway. Continue reading

However, for the first time in my life of not getting sick with everyone else (no exaggeration here), I found myself getting antsy watching every disney movie we own and not leaving the house for 4 days straight.
So on Friday I pretended Spring really was here for good and broke out the sidewalk chalk to the little ones happiness.
Here is A rockin the sunglasses. And this guy (mr. b) makes me feel like I am back working at the prison again. Instead of being the cool therapist though, I am the ornery warden. He makes a break for it. I chase him down. Deposit him back by the front door. He makes another break for it. Each time straight for the street. Thinking of putting a barbed wire fence around the perimeter of the yard. Maybe that'll hold him for a while.
Note the reassuring hand of big sister showing little guy how we play with chalk. (it was his first time)Waiting for Bug to get home.And here he is. You can't see it, but he also has in tow my favorite: a 1/2 pork salad from Costa Vida. Perfection. Especially when you've spent your week being coughed on and sneezed on.Also, crossing off my 30 before 30 list: yw reunion dinner. The picture is lame...way to dark to see much of anything. But proof I am slowly plugging away at my list. (and side note: love all these ladies. so good to see all of them) To wrap things up, Saturday we had one of those days. The one where you work like crazy sorting, cleaning, de-junking and project-crossing-off-the-list days. I was busy downstairs working on a project, when Bug came running downstairs shouting:
"Holli, grandma's scooter still has 80% power. Grab the kids!"
And then they spent the next hour plus doing this:
Yes, A is busy honking the horn and NEVER stopped. Welcome to the neighborhood. They had to zip around the circle across the street from us several times. One neighbor asked if they could zip up to Dan's and pick up some milk for him.
It still makes me laugh. Its sort of like a motorcycle, but seems so much more ridiculously anti-climatic how Bug is just sitting there. The kids loved it though. In fact, A wanted to ride it over to her Grandma's house for Sunday dinner. And Bug says it would be handy to zip over to the church building in a flash.
To our dear neighbors: you are welcome for raising the class level that much higher. Please take my word that I am feverishly working to find a new home more suitable for such a delightful item.

...apologies for the delay. Rogan is back!...and we have been loving it. She completed her 1st course of chemo therapy on 9/1…and since has had a 2 week break off all chemo drugs, particularly the steroid [which was causing all the grim side effects]. Within 24 hours off the steroid, she began to come back to life…played by her self, smiled and finally laughed... for the first time in 3 weeks! It is wildly unnatural and surreal for your own child, of a mere 19 months to go so long without a good laugh… and equally emotional to have her return to her self… throw a new born in the mix and the emotions at the Crawford house are off the charts.
We are very relieved that she has been responding so well to the treatment. It is hard to believe that at the start of August she had so much Cancer in her bones that she couldn't walk, or produce her own blood cells. Regardless of how well she is responding she will still run the entire 2.5 year treatment, in case her body begins to re-generate the bad cells again, or if there happens to be 1 or 2 cells hiding out some where. Whatever it takes to make sure this goes away and stays away!
At clinic day__9/8 her ANC count [bacteria and virus fighting white cells] were not high enough to begin the second course of chemo… so she got an additional week off; which was fine… don't get me wrong, we are terribly anxious to get these 2.5 years of treatment behind us. At clinic this Monday, 9/15, her ANC was high enough and we were able to start her second course, CONSOLIDATION. This course is focused on the central nervous system, where she will be receiving weekly spinal taps to test and treat the spinal fluid… continue to receive the IV chemo each Monday via her central line, and receive 1 other chemo drug orally, at home each day. Below is a sequence of her from this Monday, post opp… again they put her under with anesthesia via her central line [we call it her Toobies] and administer the spinal tap. She also got a dressing change. She woke slightly groggy, had a quick cry, showed everyone her Toobies, ate a Numuna… and felt better.
…now that Rogan can stand again and get outside a bit, Mama and auntie Tam Tam have been playing dress up. Here she is in Roxy
I have been forcing the premature transition from A-mo [Elmo] to Surf's Up and big kid movies. With Rogan's new hair-doo, I've noticed a striking resemblance between her and the baby penguins.
Rogan is just now starting to walk again… her legs are small and weak from having gone so long without use… and she's put on 10+ lbs… so she is very cautious. It started with her pushing her stroller, and we were able to get her to take a few solo steps [but I had to tempt her with food]
She loves A-mo and Cookie and taking them for walks with Auntie.
The city is replacing all the gas and water lines in our neighborhood, so they are trenching 20' holes and piling up gravel everywhere. Our street looks like downtown Beirut… but there are plenty of tractors for Rogan's enjoyment.
One worker made the grave mistake of honking for her and now she is hooked. She calls them bee beets and is obsessed with just sitting in her stroller and staring at them go to work. She asks for them at 7 AM… and had a complete meltdown when we came home late one night and I wouldn't take her to say good night to them. I lost that battle and was forced to tour Norfolk Avenue in the pitch black through maze of open man-holes and 20' excavation sites. But we said good night to all 3 and that was all she needed. I will ask our doctor tomorrow if OCD is a common side effect of the treatment.
Here is Rogan in her stroller, singing a Little Mermaid song, playing hide n seek and doing "Beetle face". I don't now how "Beetle face" happened, but she can now do a Crab, Cat, Cow, Owl, Snake, Fish… and we are working on Peacock and Monkey.
Rogan's immune system is still down…but not in the extra red zone….so we have been able to get out a bit [still keeping her away from other people, especially kids and dogs] This is her first skateboard session at the Park City park. I bought her first lacrosse stick last night and we are shopping for snow skis for her today!

Week 3 & 4
Sorry for the delay... we had our second child on Sunday.
_Coco Caldwell Crawford
_Sunday, 8/31/2008 8:15 AM
_8 lbs. 1 oz.
Mom went sans drugs...and Coco was slightly posterior... so the "all smiles" pic is very deceiving. Casey is gnarly.
Rogan loves sister Coco and they like to watch Elmo together... Dad is over Elmo and can't wait until she graduates to "Surf's Up" and "Finding Nemo".
Rogan made phenomenal progress during week 3 & 4... maintaining "best response possible" and "highest cure rate" bracket. Week 3 clinic day, 8/25, we were told to expect transfusions, possibly both red blood & platelets.... but her counts were stable and she didn't need either! ... so with just vitals and a blood draw, no surgery... that was the easiest clinic day to date.
The side effects from the "chemo cocktail", specifically the steroid, have manifested full force:
_raging appetite, weight gain & water retention
_restlessness, insomnia
This is how chemo makes you feel:
...still no walking due to:
_bone pain from being overcrowded w/ Leukemic cells to going hollow
_muscle pain from the roids
_weight gain & water retention
....resulting in plenty of Elmo hours logged:
The hair lose was mounting, so we were forced to do some maintenance:
...and then was force to do even more maintenance a day later whilst side tracked by a Cafe Rio burrito [raging appetite]
CLINIC DAY_Week 4_9/2/2008
Epic news Tuesday as they drew prelim blood and saw that her counts were up from last week!... meaning she is starting to make her own cells again. In particular, her bacteria fighting white cells [ANC]...so they hope she will be out of the extreme danger zone in a couple weeks! This is best case scenario and the doctors targeted goal. We then needed the 1st month bench mark bone marrow aspirate and spinal tap. Mama went to feed Coco and Papa Roger and I were left with the daunting task. This one is gnarly and doesn't seem to get any easier...as you must carry her into the operating room [O.R.] which is bright white, well-lit w/ all sorts of equipment and docs and nurses everywhere... [plenty intimidating in itself]. I hold Rogan and the doc injects anesthesia directly into her central line in her chest and she goes limp and falls asleep within 3 seconds. I lay her down, she gets oxygen via mask, and they go to work. It was subsequently followed by 2 grown men crying and then some good meaningful father / son connection and conversation. 30 minutes later [seemingly hours] we were both in recovery with Rogan. She was on her side and came to... asked for baba and numana. Big sigh of relief. The bone marrow went to Seattle Tuesday for an extra-microscopic review.... we will know this afternoon, Friday 9/5.
...so this first month [INDUCTION] has been targeted at the cancer in her marrow....where it lives and grows [metastasize]. This second month [CONSOLIDATION] will be a new chemo-cocktail targeted at her central nervous system...in case there is any cancer in there, which we believe there is not. She starts this coming Monday, 9/8 and we are fired up. In the meantime, she gets an entire break from ALL chemo drugs!... even the steroid. Which is ideal... within 48 hours of being off the steroid we saw a drastic improvement. She slept through the night without snacking...woke up without crying, smiled often, took a bath without bawling, laughed for the 1st time in 3 weeks and even crawled for the first time in 3.5 weeks. A wild world of difference. That was a tear-JERKER. Captured below is evidence of the REAL ROGAN... off steroids and loving it.
...as I type, Rogan is on the floor, reading a book by her self [which is unprecedented]...doing her "shoulder shimmy" to the back ground beats. [insert tears of pride and joy here] She is a grandchild to Charles Mason Crawford III, that is for sure. I am missing him a lot nowadays...so thank you very, very much to the special friends and mentors in my life who are helping me fill in that giant gap.
Thanks again to all our friends and family for the over the top love and support. LOVE & RESPECT.

The number of job titles in nursing is staggering. It is an industry with a job title for every temperament and skill set. There are nurse practitioners that perform many of the functions as a physician. There are practical nurses and nurse midwives. There are nurses with specific responsibilities in a medical discipline, from anesthesiology to cardiology. Public health nursing is the medical discipline that allows you to help a diverse group of patients all at once by looking at the health of large groups of interconnected people rather than the health of one. It also has a long list of responsibilities and requirements. Public health nursing requires uniquely talented and properly trained individuals to reach the top of the field.
First and foremost, public health nursing in practice is about education. Public health nurses must teach the public about health threats to their communities. This means going to schools, community centers, and other public institutions to teach people about steps they need to take to maintain their health. This information might be about an outbreak of disease or an epidemic that threatens a given community. If a certain strain of flu were to break out in an area, for example, public health nurses give communities the facts regarding the outbreak. They dispel superstitions and gossip and teach community leaders and members how to avoid contact with the disease and recommend preventative measures like flu shots.
Public health nurses teach about the relationship between nutrition and health. They often work with young people to teach healthy eating and living habits at an early stage in life when it will likely have the most impact. They teach groups of mothers and parents about best practices in prenatal health and how to take care of infants when they return home for the first time. These interventions have the biggest impact on community health because problems in childhood are correlative with health problems later in life.
Public health nurses work to help patients gain access to medical care. One of the most important factors in community health is a given community's access to health care. People who go for medical checkups and dental care on a regular basis are healthier in general than those who do not. Public health nursing helps underserved communities gain access to health care. This is done largely through outreach programs, bringing such vital medical practices as vaccination, testing, and clinical care to communities. This might be done through weekly nurse participation in temporary locations. This means that public health nurses are providing primary care to underserved communities. In this respect they are taking on the responsibilities of a licensed practical nurse or a registered nurse. It might also be through outreach for a community clinic or health care provider. Finally, public health nurses advocate with governments and health care providers to extend health care services as widely as possible.
Specializing in public health nursing is possible through a variety of nursing degree programs. Many states require public health nurses to take special coursework in their discipline. There are master's degrees in public health nursing, but there are also certificate course available to those with a related bachelor's degree or other appropriate work experience. Most programs target the competencies that public health nurses need. These include the history of public health and epidemiology. Public health nurses need to understand nutrition and health for different demographics, such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Public health nurses learn about unpleasant truths about mortality and morbidity so that they can serve during emergencies and disasters.

there shall be music in our home
From the very beginning, music filled every crevice in my home. My Mom was a Kinks fan while I curled up in utero which might explain why songs by that band are my favorites on The Darjeeling Limited soundtrack. My Dad plays music by ear, so strums of guitar and the tinkling of piano keys are comforting, childhood memories embedded in my brain. He'd hear a song he loved, sit down at the piano (or pick up his guitar), and just play it. He loves hymns and other genres, and led music at Church camps. He wrote a few songs, too. My Mom was hesitant to perform, but she sings the sweetest harmonies you will ever hear; her voice is beautiful. Papaw was a Baptist minister of music, ever-singing. Aunt Pat sings a warm, honey alto. Even my brother has a great voice, though when we were little, he was more likely to take the comic route and entertain us with Rick Astley or Michael Jackson (Thriller) impersonations.
Me? I always loved music. It was sort of inevitable with all that talent surrounding me. I wore out my Annie soundtrack cassette tape singing every single word in the safety of my Pepto-pink bedroom. My parents kindly purchased a replacement, much to my delight. I sang in Church and school choirs, but I was never comfortable with sharing my voice. Not even with my hero, Papaw. I've confessed before that one of my biggest, deepest regrets in life is refusing his repeated request, "Won't you sing with me?" I selfishly nodded side to side.
I also remember sitting next to Nina in Church. She said, "Your voice sounds like an angel." I smiled and felt grateful for the compliment, yet I wasn't about to sing a solo for her, either. And it shouldn't surprise you that every boy who caught my eye, or that I dated, was either a musician or an avid music-lover. I was certain I'd end up marrying a guitarist, but once I heard Johnny play drums, I was perfectly content with my error as long as I married a musician - specifically, him. As it turns out, 95% of our close friends are musicians, or married to one. Go figure.
Confidence has never been my forte, not to mention that I worry way too much about what people think. Thankfully, this vice has diminished as I've grown older, even while suffering health-wise the past year and a half. It's like I could care less about things that seemed so damn important before. Today, what really matters to me is the gift of health restored, my husband, our marriage, a peaceful home, and making it ready for the future pitter-patter of little feet.
And, I've realized what I love to do. I love to write. My Mom said that when she and my Dad switched me from one school to another, they demanded I be placed in advanced reading/writing classes. She knew early on (as all Moms do) that I was to be a writer. I, on the other hand, didn't really clue in to this until several years ago, though I do recall my favorite class in high school - AP English - and the strong desire to learn to write. But I never really tried; I just admired my friends who were brave enough to put their words out there.
Likewise, I love music deep within my soul. I love to sing. I am no performer, but I cannot run from desires that God planted inside me long ago. Just this morning as I tended to breakfast dishes, I turned on a CD quite loudly, nudged my voice to wake up, and sang merely for the pleasure of it. I played 1-2 songs in particular over and over and over. I marveled at the lyrics, the chords, the sounds.
Unfortunately, I'm even timid to belt it out in front of Johnny at times. I trust him implicitly, but I've always loathed being the center of attention. It's pretty uncomfortable - to be vulnerable. But when I didn't think he was really listening, a few times he said, "You have a great voice." This astounded me because what I hear is a voice that can match pitch, but weakly. Actually, if I'm forthright, there's been a few times since I turned 30 where I thought, "Hmm. I think my voice has grown up a little; matured. I sound better than I used to."
Singing around the house is a given, but Johnny hopes I'll muster up the courage to sing in our small Church choir. Not shockingly, I'm nervous at the prospect. I enjoyed singing in my massive high school choir, but our Church choir is all of 6-8 people; all men except for the female pianist. There are many times while worshiping in the congregation where I literally long to be in the choir, so I probably should give it a try one of these days. But I'm waiting for a few more ladies to sign up. Then I'll be more at ease offering my alto/mezzo soprano.
Another thing I've learned while struggling for health is how silly and crippling fear really is. It imprisons us from doing what we're called to do which is often what we love to do, even if it's hard work. God gives each of us intentional gifts and we are to use them. I'm definitely not the next Emmylou Harris, but I do revere music. There are times I'll hear a song - like The Boss' "I'll Work For Your Love" - and I'd kill to play that fantastic piano part myself.
Well, all the sudden, Johnny up and decided that he wanted to learn guitar and piano - to improve his drumming and contributions to our Church's music. True to his nature, he did it straightaway. And after one month, he can strum our favorite hymns ("Let Thy Blood in Mercy Poured", "Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness"), or annoy me with wretched Cameo and Cher songs. Without a doubt, I prefer the hymns, or the song he's currently writing. I love, love to hear guitar filling my home again; Johnny singing and working out each note (I married a guitarist after all). But then I realized, I want to play music, too.
And so, I've picked up the guitar myself. When I wanted to learn in my 20's, my parents gave me a beautiful acoustic guitar. My Dad taught me the chords and recognized, "If you keep at it, you'll be a great guitar player." I took a few lessons from a friend, too, but then - and this is the story of my life - I told myself I could never do it and set the instrument aside. Lately, though, a belief has surged within me that age 33 is absolutely not too late to write a book, or learn to play guitar. Today I picked it up, opened our book of guitar chords, played A, D, and E major correctly, and strummed all three several times; plucked each note. That simple task made me grin ear to ear. It felt right to hold that guitar; like it was meant to be.
I also abandoned piano (as a little girl). I'm not sure what happened there because I took lessons for awhile, and loved to play "Chopsticks" and silly monster song-duets with my Dad. Yet thank God, it's never too late to redeem my cowardly/slothful ways. Last week I stepped out to Johnny's drum studio and rolled his desk chair over to the keyboard. After 2-3 attempts, I played the piano scales I learned all those years ago. I childishly laughed at "Chopsticks" once again. Guitar and piano have now been added to my hobbies and who knows, I might get really ambitious and take a drum lesson. Actually, since I'm married to a music teacher, at some point I'll be taking guitar and piano lessons. Did you think Johnny would just let me teach myself?
My writer-side will always be the strongest, especially as I learn to write better and better. But I keep remembering something my Mom said last year, "I think you and Johnny should write a song together." I laughed thinking, I am no songwriter, but recently I've thought co-writing would be lots of fun. Johnny's written a few songs already, and I'd love to see what our different approaches could produce. Johnny's strength is definitely the idea of a song - what to say - and mine would probably be smoothing it out poetically; offering my artistic eye.
Writing this blog entry makes me skittish - admitting all this stuff I've been running from. But the Lord is very kind; when we stop running, He is always there. It seems extremely important (and urgent) to begin to enjoy learning, trying, messing up, moving forward at my own God-given slow pace, having fun, and improving each day and week.
I want to wash lullabies over our children; sing along with their little voices. They will see their parents learning new things all the time. They'll hear homemade music, and see their mom scale walls of fear. I'm already planning to teach our kids to work with their hands in varied creativity. If they adore mathematics like their grandfather (and unlike his daughter), I want them to understand they can also love art. Johnny and I will do whatever it takes to see each child grow up confident and sure of who God created them to be. For all I know, they'll be accountants or biochemists, but whatever gifts they are given, I want them to dive headlong into the learning, the stumbling, and learning more. I want them to not fear failure, or learning slower than their sibling(s). Just learn, and learn well.
....Do I have other ambitions besides guitar and piano up my sleeve? I sure do: crocheting, knitting, a little sewing, cooking (I'm such a novice), gardening, learning more camera settings; and writing creative nonfiction, poetry, and fiction, just for starters. And since we plan to homeschool, I'm already geeked up to learn that classical curriculum, too. Our kids will so think we're nerds. That's fine by me.

Lovely post, Jenni. It sounds exciting to collaborate with your husband! Also, I'd love to homeschool too. I've read a bit about it, and the classical curriculum is quite exciting. :)
That is a wonderful blog entry. I didn't know you were shy about your voice - it is beautiful. I am using the classical curriculum for my kids. I love all the reading, which shouldn't surprise you!!
- Kimberly said...
Beautiful. Isn't it fun to be married to a musician? Some of my most favorite times with Gregg is when we're singing together as he plays his guitar. Keep up the work on the instruments. And keep on pushing yourself. There are great rewards ahead.
PS. Thanks for the sweet comment you left for me.
- Christine said...
"...and see their mom scale walls of fear" is my favorite part of this post. God is doing so many amazing acts of beauty through you and I can't wait to see you and Johnny as parents!
Amen, Jenni! Can't wait to read about when you join the choir!
- jenni said...
Lindsay, looks like you'll get to homeschooling before I do, so you'll have to give me pointers. :)
Nicole, I'll be talking w/you, too!
Thank you, Kimberly.
And thanks, Stine and Jenny!

This is a beautiful post.
I recently wrote just a little bit on my blog about how amazing the gift of music is to us humans. (I think it was last week when I posted about that? who can remember...)
Anyway, I relate to a lot you've written here.

Why Use Auto Transport At All?Although the Arkansas to Florida route is not the longest that we serve, that doesn't mean it's a cakewalk. There are still 16 hours worth of driving to be done before you get to where you need to go, and frankly, you can spend your time better doing something else. This becomes even more apparent when you do the math: after adding up what you'll pay in food, fuel, lodging, and time, you're likely to pay hundreds more driving the car yourself than hiring an auto transport firm to do the work for you.

The sunlight was inviting, so I set out to gain a little altitude. Have a better view, better knowledge of where I am in this blasted valley and perhaps find out some details about the fish-frog people.
It did not take long for the first sign of their cult to appear beside the road. This time it was made out of iron and was much more intricately decorated than the wooden one I had last seen, so it was probably also more powerful:

Daventry Under-15s travelled to Buckingham for a friendly fixture, and were beaten 15-5.
As the overnight frost cleared, it was obvious that the already muddy pitch would churn up quite badly.
With the challenging conditions the same for both teams, it was the hosts who first recognised the importance of just keeping the ball in the forwards whilst slowly gaining small possession gains.
From a strong platform, Buckingham took a direct route and targeted a Daventry defence that was still warming up in the changing room.
A second try for the hosts followed further forwards pressure and then a third, just before half time, once again exploited a Daventry team who had left their normally impressive defence at home.
At half-time Buckingham were 15-0 ahead.
The second half was a completely different story as Daventry got to grips with the appalling conditions.
Having been taught a lesson of controlled power play, it was Daventry who seized control, got hold of the ball and recognised the importance of keeping hold of the icy lump of mud that contained a rugby ball. Despite all their possession,
Buckingham's defence held firm as the game resembled more of a game of 'It's a knockout' than a game of rugby.
In a morning where neither sets of backs could play any role, Daventry finally managed to slap the slippery bar of mud coated soap out to the wing where Charlie Swallow scored despite some strong defensive work.

In computing, the Windows registry is a database which stores settings and options for the operating system for Microsoft Windows 32-bit versions, 64-bit versions and Windows Mobile. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. Whenever a user makes changes to "Control Panel" settings, or file associations, system policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry.
The Windows Registry was introduced to tidy up the profusion of per-program INI files that had previously been used to store configuration settings for Windows programs. These files tended to be scattered all over the system, which made them difficult to keep track of.
Registry structure
The Registry is split into a number of logical sections. These are generally known by the names of the definitions used to access them in the Windows API, which all begin "HKEY" (an abbreviation for "Handle to a Key"); often, they are abbreviated to a three- or four-letter short name starting with "HK".
Each of these keys is divided into subkeys, which may contain further subkeys, and so on. Any key may contain values. These values can be:
- String Value
- Binary Value (0 and 1's)
- DWORD Value (numbers between 0 and 4,294,967,295 [232 – 1])
- Multi-String value
- Expandable String Value
Each key has a default value, which is in effect a value with the same name as the key. Registry keys and values are specified with a syntax similar to Windows' filenames, using backslashes to indicate levels of hierarchy. E.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows refers to the subkey "Windows" of the subkey "Microsoft" of the subkey "Software" of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER nodes have a similar structure to each other; applications typically look up their settings by first checking for them in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vendor's name\Application's name\Version\Setting name", and if the setting is not found looking instead in the same location under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key. When writing settings back, the reverse approach is used — HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is written first, but if that cannot be written to (which is usually the case if the logged in user is not an administrator), the setting is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead.
Abbreviated HKCR, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT stores information about registered applications, including associations from file extensions and OLE object class ids to the applications used to handle these items. On Windows 2000 and above, HKCR is a compilation of HKCU\Software\Classes and HKLM\Software\Classes. If a given value exists in both of the subkeys above, the one in HKCU\Software\Classes is used.
Abbreviated HKCU, HKEY_CURRENT_USER stores settings that are specific to the currently logged in user. HKCU mirrors the current user's subkey of HKEY_USERS.
Abbreviated HKLM, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE stores settings that are general to all users on the computer. This key is found within the file %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\system on NT-based versions of Windows. Information about system hardware is located under the SYSTEM key.
Abbreviated HKU, HKEY_USERS contains subkeys corresponding to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys for each user registered on the machine.
Abbreviated HKCC, HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG contains information gathered at runtime; information stored in this key is not permanently stored on disk, but rather regenerated at boot time.
Editing the Registry
Manual editing
The registry can be edited manually in Microsoft Windows by running regedit.exe or regedt32.exe in the Windows directory. However, careless registry editing can cause irreversible damage. Many optimization and "hacking" tools are available to modify this portion of the Windows operating system. It is preferable to use one of the many registry cleaners available.
A simple implementation of the current registry tool appeared in Windows 3.x, called the "Registration Info Editor" or "Registration Editor". This was basically just a database of applications used to edit embedded OLE objects in documents.
Windows NT introduced permissions for Registry editing. Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 were distributed with both the Windows 9x REGEDIT.EXE program and Windows NT 3.x's REGEDT32.EXE program. There are several differences between the two editors on these platforms:
- REGEDIT.EXE had a left-side tree view that began at "My Computer" and listed all loaded hives. REGEDT32.EXE had a left-side tree view, but each hive had its own window, so the tree displayed only keys. * REGEDIT.EXE represented the three components of a value (its name, type, and data) as separate columns of a table. REGEDT32.EXE represented them as a list of strings.
- REGEDIT.EXE was written for the Win32 API and supported right-clicking of entries in a tree view to adjust properties and other settings. REGEDT32.EXE was written for the Win32 API and required all actions to be performed from the top menu bar.
- Because REGEDIT.EXE was directly ported from Windows 95, it did not support permission editing (permissions do not exist on Windows 9x). Therefore, the only way to access the full functionality of an NT registry was with REGEDT32.EXE.
- REGEDIT.EXE only supports string (REG_SZ), binary (REG_BINARY), and DWORD (REG_DWORD) values. REGEDT32.EXE supports those, plus expandable string (REG_EXPAND_SZ) and multi-string (REG_MULTI_SZ). Attempting to edit unsupported key types with REGEDIT.EXE on Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4 will result in registry corruption and, possibly, an unbootable system.
Windows XP was the first system to integrate these two programs into one, adopting the old REGEDIT.EXE interface and adding the REGEDT32.EXE functionality. The differences listed above are not applicable on Windows XP and newer systems; REGEDIT.EXE is the improved editor, and REGEDT32.EXE simply invokes REGEDIT.EXE.
Command line editing
On NT-based systems the registry can be manipulated from the command line with the reg.exe utility. It is included in Windows XP and can be downloaded separately for previous versions.
reg.exe Operation [Parameter List]
Operation [QUERY|ADD|DELETE|COPY|SAVE|LOAD|UNLOAD|RESTORE|COMPARE|EXPORT|IMPORT]
Also, a .reg file (a text-based human-readable file format for storing portions of the registry) can be imported from the command line with the following command:
regedit.exe /s file
The /s means the file will be silent merged to the Registry. If the /s parameter is omitted the user will not be asked to confirm the operation. In windows 98 and windows 95 the /s switch also caused regedit.exe to ignore the setting in the registry that allows administrators to disable it. When using the /s switch Regedit does not return an appropriate return code if the operation fails, unlike reg.exe which does. This makes it hard to script, however a possible workaround is to add the following lines into your batch file:
regedit /s file.reg regedit /e test.reg "key" if not exist test.reg goto REGERROR del test.reg
The default association for .reg files in many versions of Microsoft Windows, starting with Windows 98 does require the user to confirm the merging to avoid user mistake.
Where is the Registry stored?
The Registry is stored in several files; depending upon the version of Windows, there will be different files and different locations for these files, but they are all on the local machine, except for the NTuser or user file which may be placed on another computer to allow for roaming profiles.
Windows NT, 2000, 2003, & XP
The following Registry files are stored in %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\:
- Sam
- Security
- Software
- System
- Default
- Userdiff
- NTUSER.dat
- The NTUSER.dat file is stored in the profile folder.
Windows 95 & 98
The registry files are named User.dat and System.dat and are stored in the \Windows\ directory.
Windows ME
The registry files are named Classes.dat, User.dat, and System.dat and are stored in the \Windows\ directory.
Windows 3.11
The registry file is called Reg.dat and is stored in the \Windows\ directory.
Policy files
Since Windows 95 administrators can include a special file in the registry, a policy file. The policy file allows administrators to enforce registry settings such as preventing users from changing the background picture of the desktop. The default extension for the policy file is .pol. The policy file filters the settings it enforces on a per user basis and per user group basis. To do that the policy file merges into the registry, preventing users from circumventing it by simply changing back the settings. The policy file is usually distributed through a LAN, but can be placed on the local computer.
Policy file editor
The policy file is created by a free tool by Microsoft that goes by the filename poledit.exe for Windows 95/Windows 98 and with a computer management module for NT- based systems. The module will not work in Windows XP Home, but it does work in the Pro edition. The editor requires administrative permissions to be run on systems that uses permissions. The editor can also directly change the current registry settings of the local computer and if the remote registry service is installed and started on another computer it can also change the registry on that computer. The policy editor loads the settings it can change from .adm files, of which one is included, that contains the settings the Windows shell provides. The .adm file is plain text and supports easy localisation by allowing all the strings to be stored in one place.
Useful Registry keys
The following registry keys may be of interest to users attempting to customise their Windows systems.
- HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate Creating this (as a DWORD) and setting it to 1 will prevent Windows (NT, 2000 or XP) from tracking the last access time of files, which speeds up a lot of operations (especially opening folders of items with previews).
- HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\SizReqBuf Specifies the size of buffers used for storing requests to the file/print server. Increasing this from the default of 4356 bytes can improve network performance: a figure of 14596 is frequently recommended.
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (and the HKCU equivalent) specifies applications to run whenever a user logs in. These can include desirable programs, such as printer monitoring programs or frequently-used tools, but a lot of malware uses this registry key to ensure it is automatically run. This key is a good place to start looking for evidence of malware if you think your computer has been infected.

A review of various Registry cleaners was carried out by Fred Langa and published in Information Week on October 10, 2005.
Advantages of the Registry concept
Changing from having one or more INI Files per program to one centralised registry has its good points:
- The registry keeps machine configuration separate from user configuration. When a user logs into a Windows NT/XP/2003 computer, their registry settings are merged with the system wide settings. This allows programs to more easily keep per-user configuration, as they can just work with the 'current user' key, whereas in the past they tended to just keep system-wide per-program settings. (This point doesn't apply to programs on *NIX based OSs as they have an accepted standard for per-user settings, where Windows previously did not).
- Group Policy allows administrators on a Windows-based computer network to centrally manage program and policy settings. Part of this involves being able to set what an entry in the registry will be for all the computers on the network, and affect nearly any installed program - something almost impossible with per-program configuration files each with custom layouts, stored in dispersed locations.
- Because the registry is accessed through a special API it is available to scripts and remote management using WMI. Each script does not have to be customised for every application's unique configuration file layouts and restrictions.
- The registry can be accessed as one item over a network connection for remote management/support, including from scripts, using the standard API.
- It can be backed up more easily, in that it is just a small number of files in specific locations.
Criticisms of the Registry concept
However, the centralised Registry introduces some problems as well:
- It is a single point of failure - damage to the Registry can render a Windows system unbootable, in extreme cases to a point that can not be fixed, and requires a full reinstall of Windows.
- Any program which wants to manipulate the registry must use special Windows API functions whereas a configuration file can be manipulated using normal text file-processing techniques. A user must edit the registry using the provided program 'regedit', but they could edit most other configuration files with any standard text editor.
- Configuration files can contain comments to help the user by explaining what values are for and how they can be changed, the registry cannot.
- It is more difficult to backup - it cannot be done 'live' because it is always in use, and thus requires special software such as ntbackup.
- Restoring parts of the registry is hard because you cannot easily extract data from backed up registry files
- Any application that doesn't uninstall properly, or doesn't have an uninstaller, can leave entries in the registry, which can lead over time to increased file size and decreased performance. Freeware utilities such as RegCleaner Standard can help alleviate this problem, but as with all registry cleaning utilities, there is always a small chance that applications can be damaged if a valid registry entry is deleted by mistake!
Registry Alternatives in Other Operating Systems
Other systems preserve the concept of separate configuration files for separate application subsystems, but group them together in a single filesystem directory for ease of management, such as the Preferences Folder in Mac OS, or the /etc and hidden directories (directories that start with a period) within the home directory in Unix-like systems. In those systems, fine-grained access to configuration settings can be controlled by normal filesystem protection mechanisms. Also, the only thing that could cause widespread damage to the configuration system would have to be major filesystem corruption.
RISC OS allows applications to be copied into directories easily without the need to install the application as you would in Windows, if you wish to remove the application, simply delete the folder belonging to the application [1]. This contrasts with the Windows Registry: software that you think has been removed often gets left behind in the Registry.
Problems with Windows 9x OS
On Windows 9x computers, an older installation can have a very large registry that slows down the computer's startup and can make the computer unstable. This has led to frequent criticisms that the registry leads to instability. However, these problems occur slightly less often on the Windows NT family of systems, including Windows XP.

Stock Our Shelves Fundraising Campaign
The Friends of the Crandon Public Library will kick-off a fundraising campaign titled "Stock Our Shelves" this month.
According to the Friends of the Library, the Stock Our Shelves campaign will focus on raising funds specifically for new books.
Patrons of the Crandon Public Library check out more than 1,800 items each month and the first area that gets looked over is the New Book shelf.
According to the Friends, the library is hard pressed to keep up with the demand of supplying new, quality fiction and non-fiction titles for both adult and children.
A donation of one hundred dollars will buy four new books. However, any donation, in any amount, will help fill the shelves. Donor names (or that of an honoree) will appear on the first page of each book. Donations to the Friends of the Library are tax-deductible and can be designated for the new adult book shelf or children's collection.
The Friends of the Crandon Public Library is a nonprofit organization whose mission is support the advancement of our community through its library.

Arup is providing consultancy on construction scoping and sequencing for MTR Shatin to Central Link – a 17 km railway line expansion in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. This project includes tunnels, a new underground station, and ventilation buildings and shafts.
"Using BIM in the design process is invaluable. With most works being underground and many things happening around the site, unforeseen conditions and changes are unavoidable," said Timothy Suen, Arup fellow and director of railway in East Asia. "BIM enables us to make critical decisions using data that can be easily visualized, so the team can find alternatives more effectively with a clear overview of the sequence of work for this highly complex project."
Managing the business
BIM helps Arup collaborate using intelligent models for construction scoping and sequencing keeping all stakeholders, including the public, informed.

Granite Staters Urged to "Buckle Up" and Stay Alert on Road Trips
Concord, NH - The recession is the driving force behind the decision for many Granite Staters to vacation in-state this summer, which means more vehicles on the road and an increased risk of accidents. Offering tips on safety and ways to stretch travel dollars are Steve Gratton, chief executive officer for the Lovering Family Foundation, and Nick Wallner, branch manager for AAA in Concord and spokesperson for AAA Northern New England.
Tough economic times are forcing many Granite Staters to rethink their travel plans this summer. Many are choosing to vacation closer to home - which means fewer airline flights and increased traffic on New Hampshire's roads and highways.
At the Lovering Family Foundation, a nonprofit group whose mission is to educate young New Hampshire drivers about safety, Chief Executive Officer Steve Gratton urges all drivers to use simple measures to reduce the risk of injuries - specifically, he says, to buckle up.
"The numbers of easily preventable injuries could be reduced if everyone wore their seat belts."
Gratton believes New Hampshire's lack of a seat belt law for persons over age 18 is the primary reason the state has one of the lowest seat belt usage rates in the country, below 70 percent. He urges all adults to wear seat belts, not only for their own safety, but to set good examples for children and younger drivers.
Nick Wallner agrees. As the American Automobile Association branch manager in Concord, he adds that another way to maximize safety and travel dollars this summer is to make sure the vehicle is well-maintained before a road trip. That, and planning the travel route in advance, can help save gas - and, along the way, Wallner says staying alert is a must.
"As part of the planning process, take enough rest stops to ensure that they don't drive beyond their means during the day - and to be prepared for traffic situations that usually crop up on Fridays and Sundays."
With a little preparation, Wallner notes, families can travel safely and also take advantage of the many deals and discounts being offered in the state for lodging, meals and various attractions. He suggests the Web site www.visitNH.gov as one resource for close-to-home travel ideas.

Adjectives and adverbs are both types of modifiers, words that aren't grammatically necessary but add color and life to your sentences. A fizzing, sparking firecracker is more vivid than just a firecracker by itself. Talking about a huge, black dog paints a better mental picture than just talking about a dog. And smiling sarcastically is very different from smiling joyfully!
In this lesson, you'll get some practice with using these modifiers on the ACT, so you aren't accidentally adding grammar errors along with your descriptions. First off, let's review the rules.
An adjective is a modifier that describes a noun or pronoun. Adjectives answer the question 'what kind?', or 'how many?' For example, in the sentence, 'Jim doesn't like cold weather,' the word 'cold' is an adjective telling you what kind of weather Jim doesn't like.
An adverb is a modifier that describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Adverbs answer the questions 'how?', 'where?', or 'when?' For example, in the sentence, 'Jim loudly complained about the cold,' the word 'loudly' is an adverb telling you how Jim complained.
Most adverbs are just adjectives with -ly stuck on the end. For example, 'quick' becomes 'quickly.' 'Loud' becomes 'loudly.' There are a few exceptions, though. Some common ones include good, well, fast, and hard.
Pay attention to these when you're working on the test. If you just assume that all adverbs end in -ly, you're likely to miss the tricky ones, like 'well' and 'fast.' And also remember that some adjectives end in -ly: for example, 'friendly' and 'lonely.'
You'll also get questions about comparing things using adjectives and adverbs. Remember that for two things, you use the comparative form. Make the comparative of an adjective either by adding -er to the end (as in 'colder') or by adding 'more' to the beginning (as in 'more beautiful'). Make the comparative of an adverb by adding 'more' to the beginning (as in 'more quickly').
For comparing three or more things, use the superlative. Make the superlative of an adjective either by adding -est to the end (as in 'coldest') or by adding 'most' to the beginning (as in 'most beautiful'). Make the superlative of an adverb by adding 'most' to the beginning (as in 'most quickly').
With that out of the way, let's dive into the practice problems! Ready for number one?
Of the three boys who competed at the state fair, I think Rob had the more interesting science project.
(A) (as it is now)
(B) Rob's science project was more interesting.
(C) Rob had the most interesting science project.
(D) Rob had a science project that was more interesting.
We can see that the adjective here is 'more interesting,' describing the science project. That's an adjective describing a noun, which is fine. But take a close look at how many boys you're comparing here. Since there are three boys, what form of the adjective will you need to use?
The superlative, right? 'More interesting' is only used to compare two things; to compare three, you need 'most interesting,' or answer choice (C).
How about another one:
Even though the scene of the accident was chaotic, the paramedic examined the panicking patient calmly and competent.
(A) (as it is now)
(B) calmly and competently
(C) calmly and his competent
(D) calm and competent
Let's take a look at what we've got here. We have two descriptions: 'calmly' and 'competent.' In the original sentence, one of them is an adverb and the other is an adjective.
What word are these two modifiers modifying? Is it a noun or something else? They're both examining 'examined,' telling you how the paramedic examined the patient. And the answer is 'calmly and competent…ly!' That's right; both of these words are modifying a verb, so they both need to be adverbs. So (B) is our answer.
How about one last example before you move on to do a few by yourself:
Compared to her sister, Patricia is easily the fastest at the backstroke with an especially impressive 100-meter time.
(A) (as it is now)
(B) easily faster at the backstroke
(C) easily fastest at the backstroke
(D) easily wins the backstroke
The modifier in the underlined portion is 'fastest.' That's an adjective, describing what?
Patricia. That's perfectly fine; it's an adjective describing a noun, so no need to change it to an adverb instead. But wait a minute. How many people are you comparing? Just two: Patricia and her sister. So does 'fastest' really belong here?
No, not really! 'Fastest' is for comparing three or more people, not just two! If you have just two people, you'd use the comparative form of the adjective, faster. That's in choice (B), so choice (B) is the correct answer.
In this lesson, you got some practice describing and comparing things with adjectives and adverbs. Remember that adjectives modify nouns and answer the question 'what kind?' Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs and answer the question 'how?'
Also, be alert for comparisons. If you're comparing two things, use the comparative form. For three or more things, use the superlative. With these two issues in mind, you'll be all set to answer questions about adjectives and adverbs on the ACT.

"We are better than you". These are the convictions and attitudes that we cherish and treasure as human beings. However, why do we think we are better than others? Largely, such attitudes are brought about by how we are brought up socially, and partly politically; although, it's the individual's viewpoint that develop the fundamental perspective of collective social-cultural convictions against others. Apparently, it is these attitudes, paranoia and fear that we have adopted, leading to increased antagonism in the global environment.
Where can we find ourselves back? It's from the roots of our personal standpoints in regard to how we perceive members of the human society that do not share social-cultural, and, or political commonness. Its through this we shall be able to appreciate others, and ultimately appreciate ourselves best. Or social mind's eye manifested through our families, education system, religion, sports and creative arts, among others develops the social-cultural views that we possess within us. Communally engaging activities are among the most powerful vehicles of such development that largely shape and put into somebody various notions of our "human being".
For sure, we are not immune to the external influence, especially from the modern culture. The modern culture that surrounds us brings forth compositional approaches and alternative social methodologies, but still we tend to be tethered around ethnocentrism among other divisiveness. Sadly, this has been cemented by the contemporary media which still tend to hold and show the human divisiveness such as racism, sexism and individualism, among others. The beauty of modern society is in appreciating human diversity. Not seeing yourself as "better than him", but seeing him different from you. Through this we will be able to make today's social baggage as an accepted standard of life, and enjoy life. Else, we become what we think we are.

Our aims and objectives are to:
- Provide information to the public on child care proceedings in the courts;
- Conduct research on these proceedings to promote debate and inform policy-makers;
- Make recommendations to address any short-comingsin the child care system identified by the research;
- Assist in the implementation of these recommendations;
- Through the above, to promote confidence in the child care system.
The Child Care Law Reporting Project was established in November 2012, under Section 3 of the Child Care (Amendment) Act 2007 and in accordance with the 2012 Regulations (Regulation No 467 of 2012) made under the Act.
Relevant legislation:
- Child Care (Amendment) Act 2007
- Statutory Instrument No 467 of 2012
- Child care proceedings are governed by the Child Care Act 1991
The project was initially set up with the support of the One Foundation, The Atlantic Philanthropies and the Department of Children of Youth Affairs. Under the 2012 Regulations, the project must be nominated by an organisation specified in the regulations. From 2012 to 2018, the project was nominated by the Free Legal Advice Centres (FLAC). The project also received administrative and technical support from FLAC but it was entirely operationally independent. Since April 2018, the project has been fully funded by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, and was nominated by the National University of Ireland, Galway. It continues to be entirely operationally independent.
The CCLRP pursues its aims and objectives by attending the courts where child care cases are heard in order to report on those proceedings while protecting the anonymity of the children and their families, in accordance with a Protocol drawn up by its Director. It publishes reports of child care cases for the public and all relevant stake-holders at a frequency and in a form to be determined by the Director and the Steering Group.
The CCLRP collects and analyses data from the proceedings, publishes reports on the nature and outcomes of the child care proceedings and promotes public debate on the issues raised through seminars and conferences.
The CCLRP is a company limited by guarantee. Its board members are listed here.
The Project is based in 7 Red Cow Lane, Smithfield, Dublin 7. It can be contacted by email at email@example.com
