a migrant child in foreign lands
an unplanned birth, the world expands
to join with ours his storyline

divine-ness in humanity
so Christmas comes, we try anew:
see you in me and me in You.
When I wake up in the morning, sometimes I think, "Today will be the day!"
Today will be the day when the president of the United States says, "See how easy it was? See how easy it was to take a nation and lead its citizens down a path of fear and scapegoating? To prey on your insecurities? See how easy it was to take a nation, desperate for a hero in the age of Marvel Comics movies, and get you to follow me, look up to me, be afraid of me? Did you see how I quickly made our friends into enemies and our enemies into friends? Now do you understand how other countries allow despots to rise to and stay in power?
"Vilifying the other is easy. I showed you that, and you need reflect on your response. Now for the hard part- loving our neighbor. Now that I've got your attention, let us work together to find common sense solutions that will bring us together. Let us remember the values that make us who we are. Let us remember our common humanity, knowing that by working together, with and through our differences, we can find common ground for the common good. That is what my leadership is all about. Life is not a zero-sum game where there are only winners and losers. Life is about becoming, becoming better tomorrow than we were yesterday, seeing the other as ourselves, and walking together.
"I invite you to walk with me down this bumpy road. We make this road by walking, just as we create the world every day by what we say, what we do, and how we treat each other. The power is in our hands to become, to grow together, to share our common humanity."
Unfortunately, today is not that day. Maybe tomorrow.
Did you ever notice that houses and factories have chimneys that carry the smoke, the exhaust, the fumes up and away from people? I noticed the same thing about cars- no company makes a car with an exhaust system that brings exhaust into the car. We do these things because no one wants to breathe in the toxins that are created by combustion and burning. We know that toxins are poisonous, well, by definition. Can we agree to this?
If that is the case, that the toxins that are created by combustion and burning are poisonous, then what if there were a way to avoid the toxins? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to not create the toxins? There is! There are ways to create energy that do not pollute and those ways are becoming cheaper and cheaper through economies of scale. There are now more people employed in solar energy than in oil, coal and gas.
We also know that not all resources are renewable; someday oil, coal and gas will run out. If we are smart enough to prepare for a winter storm or a hurricane, we are also smart enough to prepare for a world without fossil fuels.
Maybe you do not believe that the earth is warming or maybe you believe that the earth is warming but that it isn't caused by human activity. (My reading and my personal experience tells me that the earth is warming and it makes sense to me that 7 billion people could be contributing to it.) Either way, if we don't want poison in our houses or our cars let's not put it into the air. If we know that fossil fuels will run out, then let's get ready for what is next. There is no reason not to.
A few days ago I received a phone call from a friend of mine. He had recently learned that he and his mother will receive their social security cards and residency papers. They will be able to stay in the United States. Wonderful! We are lucky to have them- good, caring people; hard working people. Gentle.
This family was forced from their home country by negative situations beyond their control. They moved to the US only to live in the shadows, experiencing violence both personal and systemic. When you live in the shadows you cannot fully participate and share your gifts. You live in fear – fear that you will be sent back, you might lose your job and a thousand other fears. Those fears, though, are nothing when compared to the lived experience that sent you away from home.
Now there is hope. There is hope of permanence and pertenencia, belonging. Having grown up in the only city he has ever known, he will now be able to participate fully in all of the rights and responsibilities of belonging. Moving out of the shadows. May we hear the same positive news for many other immigrants so that they, too, may move out of the shadows.
This blog was started about 5 years ago as an Advent gift for a 12 year old. The waiting of Advent has come full circle to an emerging from the shadows: Resurrection.
You always belonged. Now it's official.
A few days ago I was asked why I am worried about a Trump presidency. The asker was not an ardent supporter of Mr. Trump but believed that Mr. Trump was a better choice than Clinton. I am not an ardent Clinton supporter but believe that she would have been a better choice than Mr. Trump.
When I think of the United States, the country where I was born and raised, I think of possibilities. I believe that it is possible for people of different racial/ ethnic backgrounds, different religions (or no religion), differences of many kinds to come together for the good of the whole. I believe that it is possible to rise above tribalism to create something better than any of us could create alone, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I believe that the United States of America is possible- that all are created equal.
When I hear Mr. Trump make racist comments I worry about his presidency. I worry that people who are already on the fringes of society will be further marginalized. There are many ways to be in this world. We can celebrate those ways, accept those ways, without saying "my way or the highway." Someone's difference is not a threat to me (although violence is a threat that needs to end) if I am secure in my identity. Maybe Trump's comments were made in order to get elected; if so, those who support him because of those comments worry me. Do they seek to limit the identity of the United States to those who are like them? Do they seek to rid the country of difference?
When I hear Mr. Trump make sexist comments I worry about his presidency. Anyone who knows a woman worries (or should be worried) about this type of violence. Denigrating anyone is offensive. Would I want someone saying such things about my mother? My wife? My daughter? Would I want my son or my students at school to learn this behavior? If not, then it is not OK for Mr. Trump to say those things. Maybe Trump's more recent comments were made in order to get elected; if so, I worry about those who support him because of those comments. Referring to people as objects is dehumanizing. If we are all created equal then let us raise one another up instead of pushing some down.
When I hear Mr. Trump speak against immigration I worry about his presidency. Friends of mine have been told that, "Trump will kick you out, send you back." These friends are U.S. citizens. Students have been cornered by groups of other students who shouted, "Build the wall, build the wall." The adopted daughter of a friend of mine asked her mom if Trump was really going to send her back to her birth country, a place she has not been since she was a few months old. Maybe Trump's anti-immigration comments were made in order to get elected. Right now they are having an immediate effect on the lives of people who do not look white. I worry about the people who supported Trump because of these comments. This country is a country of immigrants (some of whom who added terrible violence to the lives of many of the original inhabitants of this land). My ancestors came from Ireland. The whole southwest used to be Mexico until the border crossed the people and included them in the United States after the war. To suggest that the United States is a white nation is to ignore history. We can welcome the stranger.
I believe in the possibility of the United States where we define ourselves as all of us. I believe in the freedoms, rights and responsibilities that belong to everyone in the United States. I believe in the gray areas, the messy areas, where life is not a dualistic either/ or, open/ shut, us/them. Together we can navigate the muddy waters of gray, together. Let us, then, rise above, come together to continue creating a welcoming, bountiful community where all are welcome and all is possible. Let this be a place where violence and discrimination are shunned in favor cooperation and courageous conversations.
For now, I will wait and see. I will never completely write off anyone. Because you asked, though, those are some of the reasons that I am worried about a Trump presidency.
P.S. A self-described single issue voter asked me about abortion and how I could support someone who is pro-abortion. To begin with, I do not know anyone who is pro-abortion (in the sense that a person believes everyone should go out and get one in the way someone might be pro-chocolate- I am pro-chocolate). I do know that in countries where abortions are/ were illegal they still happen in very dangerous conditions making a bad situation even worse. I also know that the number of abortions has been dropping since the early 1990's and is down to numbers not seen since the early 1970's. Perhaps we can continue to improve education and situations so the number of abortions continues to drop.
I still believe we welcome the stranger
How we treat the least among us
holds a mirror to our soul
The peace we are and the hope we live
outshine violence, blanket fear
My kitchen table has extra space
for there is enough when we share
It's not us and them
It's just us, all of us
I still believe we welcome the stranger
The last time I watched a baseball game was… never. The last time I went to a Major League Baseball game was in 1986- a road trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago with Chris, Pete, Baz and Jim. Tonight I am glued to the TV here in Lima watching the Cubs take game 7 of the World Series.
This has nothing to do with baseball. This is all about being connected. After a challenging few months, energy flows strong and I am reconnecting. Reconnecting with culture and language, life and spirit, hope and future. And part of that, oddly enough, is baseball.
Part of being bilingual and bicultural is occasionally missing the other language and culture. If I were in Minnesota I would not be watching the game. I would wait until morning and find someone like Mr. Sports, Mr. Action, Mr. Jim Ed Poole who "knows all and tells only some." Someone who would let me know who won. That's all. But that is not tonight.
Tonight I root for language and culture. I root for connectedness and feeling at home wherever you are. I root for hope and life and spirit.
Go Cubs!

- Going Deeper: Growing in Faith and Knowledge
"They Went to Church"
The country recently observed the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On the following day (April 5, 2018), there was a letter to the Boston Globe in which Peter Chisholm of Ashland recounted the following:
On April 4, 1968, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. On April 5, in the late afternoon, at a small US Army base in Munich, I received a call from our battalion headquarters asking that we observe the actions of black soldiers over the weekend.
On Monday morning, we received a call asking what they had done.
I said, "They went to church."
For people of faith, that is the natural inclination. On April 4, 2018, we gathered at Trinity Church to remember Dr. King, to hear some of his masterful words, to pray, to light candles, to sing, and through this commemoration, to rededicate ourselves to the work of racial justice for which he gave his life. As I planned the service with Trinity parishioners, I remembered helping to lead an interfaith service in my college town fifty years ago.
Last Sunday, more than one hundred Marathon runners attended services at Trinity and received a blessing at one of the four services. As I greeted worshipers at the conclusion of those services, many runners with tears in their eyes thanked us for providing the opportunity for them to reflect and pray prior to Monday's race. We do this every year, but this year seemed especially poignant as we observed the fifth anniversary of the bombing that cruelly affected so many people.
That is part of our role as "Trinity Church in the City of Boston:" to be a place of prayer and reflection, in the midst of challenges, griefs, and celebrations that mark our lives. Yes, we are also often called to march, to lobby, and to take other actions to demonstrate our commitment to lifting the oppression of racism, injustice, and violence. And when that work has its foundation in prayer and worship, I believe we participate more fully in God's plan to heal the world. We temper our righteous anger with the humility of listening to God. We increase our energy for change by recognizing Christ's passion. We learn from each other, especially those with whom we disagree, as together we discern God's voice. Beginning in prayer and scripture means that we are consciously opening ourselves to being transformed by God's word rather than hearing an echo of our own "certainties."
We are travelling together, learning our part in being God's beacon in the heart of the city. We don't have it all figured out. We are learning as we go. I hope you will continue to be part of this journey of discovery.
May it be said of us, when we feel discouraged or confused or angry, "They went to church."
Faithfully and fondly,
The Rev. Rainey Dankel

Redefining Culinary Arts
According to Wikipedia, Culinary Art is:
Redefining Culinary Arts
(C-ooking as yo- U Like , Images Never Actual Real Y-ou A-s R-eal as The expression of who you are as S-elf)
It is the art of preparing and cooking food - which is about pleasing the partaker of the food - it's about the look and flavor of the food - where the one who prepares it is called a cook or chef prepares the food to please another separate from oneself and perceiving oneself separate from the plants and animals used- defines oneself according to energetic accumulation of positive experiences of the mind from what one eats -based on accepted beliefs and knowledge and information regarding food preparation - as per a group of caharacters' /systems' agreement as to what food is - decides what is acceptable or not in this world- where stopping the mind is not considered - - existing in an unequal monetary system that kills animals and plants for food and profit
Realizes through ones process of self-perfection that one is equal to all that exist – as all came from the same substance all are made of.
Sees the commonsense, 'as within so without' - so as the within of oneself - stops the mind - stops it feeding off the body for energy -aligns oneself to the without of oneself - assists in establishing a world based on equality - where killing of animals and plants for food and profit stops -investigates and develop food that will give the body nutrition that it needs to survive - until we stop the mind - and the mind no longer feed off the body - and we do not need to kill to survive.
*Redefines culinary arts as the art of preparing food as an expression of oneself as who one really is - as equal to all - prepares food as an expression of oneself - where food is clean and eatable - brings the food here as equal to ones expression - standing equal to the food - and looking at how the body responds to it -taking into consideration that the genetic make up of the body is different between individuals- assists the body by preparing food using what the body prefers.
'What is clear about words that are defined within and as self as polarized words, are that they are reactive in nature. Meaning when carrying a negatively or positively charged word within and as self, this polarity charged word will 'react' within its environment seeking out designs of 'homeostasis' or 'winning'. The consequential outflows of negatively and positively charged words are predetermined in that they follow a specific pre-programmed path.
It is thus common sense to realize that, what we place as definitions within and as ourselves is what we manifest within the expression of ourselves. This is why we redefine words; to find the living expression evident in each word from the principle of oneness and equality. As we look at a word we are moving ourselves through the word to see what it represents and what it stands for as a living expression. By assigning a definition to the word we are developing our vocabulary by placing within the definitions, living definitions that stand free from polarity which are able to stand as living expressions of the words that we have redefined.' ~ Taken from Earth's Journey to Life Blog.

You see, there was this story in my head, one of thousands, really.
Stories have been with me my whole life, stories written by other people, stories told to me by older relatives (my dad in particular), stories in the media, stories I told myself… especially the ones I told myself.
Some of my own stories entertained me, some of them comforted me, and some scared the crap out of me. I'm learning to control and refine my stories and I'm scared less, entertained more and don't have so much need for being comforted.
As a child, I thought that painting, drawing, and sculpture would be the way I would tell my stories. Imagine my surprise when this story came and sat on me one day, promising to let me up and to take me by the hand, to lead me into a wondrous world if I would only write it.
"Write it? But I'm a visual artist!" I protested, whining from my vantage point on the floor, squashed beneath this insistent story. "Write it!" the story returned, pleasantly, amiably stubborn. I sighed, nodded and it let me up.
Now, two years and 200,000 words later, I can't imagine a world without writing and I'm amazed at the beauty that this story has shown me.
… but, ugh! 200,000 words? I've always been a bit wordy, my family has joked that my motto is, "Why use a sentence when a paragraph will do?" And they're right. I love words and the nuances that they can express. I love putting them together in just such a way so that they can paint pictures in people's minds. Essentially, I'm still a visual artist; words are only another medium.
But still, 200,000 words! So, last year about this time, after a year of conjuring and cajoling and compromising with this story, I was able to write, "The End." Yay! I was finished.
"Ha!" said the story, "I've got some weight to lose and I'm feeling fuzzy in places. Call your mother."
"My mother?"
"Who else? Of course, your mother."
Now, you might think that your mother would be the last person you'd want editing your writing and I would hope that, if you asked her, you would be wrong; our mothers have a strange habit of surprising us if we only look.
Fortunately, I didn't question the story's plan and, since then, Jan Meserve has devoted nearly all of her time to helping my story trim down, tighten up, and get ready to meet the real world (truth is, she's a little obsessed but this obsession, I can definitely live with!)
…and I had no idea how intense this process would be! Turns out the writing was the easy part but with every day and with every session, we get closer to having a manuscript to offer for publication. Our target is to be finished by Beltane (May 1st). We'll keep plugging away and will keep you posted on how we're coming.
Happy writing to all you writers, happy reading to all you readers, happy happy to all you playful imaginers, and to all the other stories in my head: be patient, you'll get your turn!

Univision wants a bigger piece of the growing Latino online video community, and it has launched a website to move towards that goal. The Spanish-language TV network has teamed with Bedrocket to debut an official website for Flama, its Latino-focused online video channel.
Flama, which was first announced last October, has already been active for four months on its YouTube channel. Thus far, its existing web series have explored distinctly Latino topics such as soccer, telenovelas, and unfiltered abuelas. Flama has also brought YouTubers such as YoMuscleBoii, SergioRazta, and Latoya Forever to star in their own videos. As a result, the Flama YouTube channel already has more than 75,000 subscribers and 3.3 million views.
The Flama website extends the channel in a similar way to other Bedrocket channels. Content is organized across distinct categories, and the main page features a very attractive design. The site uses the same video player as Univision's Uvideos site, which presumably offers a more favorable ad revenue split than the YouTube videos on the Flama YouTube channel.
A prominent video at the top of the homepage introduces Flama and its llama mascot.
"Flama is working with talent and storytellers that connect with young Hispanics through a shared experience, a point of view, and sometimes simply a passion for llamas," said Steven Benanav, general manager of Flama. "We've created a network for our audience to discover and share great programming that includes original series and the best curated material from the Internet."
Latinos and non-Latinos alike should keep an eye on Flama. It's gonna get hot.

Green for go as pupils launch their craft in the park
Published on 12/06/19
Norwich Primary pupils got out into the city's green spaces to put their design projects to the test in the real world.
The Year 6 children built balsa wood rafts inspired by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl's 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition across the Pacific Ocean.
They proved the rafts' seaworthiness on the rather more accessible boating pond at Eaton Park.
Nearby Earlham Park was the site for test flights of kites which the children had used their maths and design technology skills to make.
Year 6 teacher Andrew Page said: "Both days were highly enjoyable and saw plenty of successful launches for our pupils' fantastic designs."

To restrict movement (no tilting) twist the vertical locking collar and turn it into a monopod with support feet.
The support feet can fold flush and lock into position against the monopod leg. The large rubber foot lets you work on slippery surfaces and can be replaced with a stainless steel spike for use outdoors.
If you don't need the feet, you can easily unscrew them and convert the SIRUI PS Photo/video Monopod into a conventional monopod. And for added flexibility, the feet can be used as a table-top or low angle tripod!
SIRUI P-S Series Photo/video monopods are equally at home with photo and video equipment. And if you need to get your equipment up high or want an unusual perspective, you can, thanks to the lightweight design!!

According to the EPA, "Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products." Recycling has many benefits to the environment, such as using less energy when processing materials, producing less pollution and reusing resources.
Recycling occurs in a continuous loop: items are recycled, made in to new products and purchased by consumers who use the product then recycle it. The item is then made into a new product and bought by another consumer. All three steps of the loop are essential to the overall positive effect of recycling.
Here on campus all recyclable materials placed in the blue lidded bins are picked up by Brookings Dumpster then hauled down to Millennium Recycling Inc. in Sioux Falls, SD. Here the materials are sorted and baled then shipped off to companies who use the recycled material for their products. Recycled materials are often remade into aluminum cans, paper and glass bottles. Other items are also made, such as, shoes, bags and benches.
In the following sections you will find information on what can be recycled, learn about special recycling opportunities, identify recycling and trash bins on campus, and more!

From Bernama here on July 31, 2009.
KUALA LUMPUR, 31 July (Bernama) – The Malaysian Bar today invited the federal and state governments, academic institutions, NGOs and media organisations to join the MyConstitution Campaign.
Edmund Bon Tai Soon, chairman of the Constitutional Law Committee (ConstiLC), said they needed support to promote the campaign.
"For the first time in the history of the Malaysian Bar, the Bar Council this term (2009/2010) formed a ConstiLC to entrench constitutional study and promote constitutionalism as part of the Bar's already wide-ranging initiatives in society.
"The ConstiLC has adopted a two-year Blueprint 2009-2011, which sets out the committee's programme. Our core initiative is to conduct a first-of-its-kind aim of the campaign is to educate and empower the rakyat and create greater awareness about the Federal Constitution," he told a news conference here Friday.
The ConstiLC's vision and mission is to promote the concept of constitutionalism and the rule of just law; raise awareness of and educate the rakyat on provisions of the Federal Constitution and thereby to empower the rakyat; document and respond to constitutional issues that arise.
"Our mission is also to conduct research on matters relating to the Federal Constitution and State Constitutions and where necessary, make recommendations for constitutional reform. It is also to assist and advise the Bar Council on constitutional matters," he added.
As part of the campaign, Bon said, the committee would embark on producing a series of people-service video advertisements on selected provisions of the Federal Constitution, publishing a series of pocket-size books on different parts of the Federal Constitution, hosting a series of awareness-raising programmes and publishing articles on the Federal Constitution.
He added that the focus of the campaign would be on explaining important concepts and themes of the Federal Constitution.
"I trust that this initiative will be of immense benefit to the people of Malaysia. Discussions on the finer details of the campaign have begun and the official launch will take place soon, expected in September," he said. — BERNAMA

This is brilliant and finally! The Bar Council must work hard to also ensure that Sharia Law is not dominant over Constitutional Law, including on conversion from Islam. Within current historical context, the Sharia law as influenced by Arabic/Taleban style is dangerously taking over many Constitutional Law, especially in regard to the modern and universal human rights of mass of ordinary Muslim's rights, especially of women/girls/gays and converts from Islam. The Bar Council must also fight for the rights of Malaysian Muslims who do not want to submit to such Arabic-Taleban Dark age Sharia Law, to be treated equally instead under the Constitutional Law as any other citizens! And that include fighting for the closure of the Islamic Dark Age prison/concentration camp-style of Islamic Rehabilitation Camps in Malaysia!

The Cromarty Archive
Unknown Year: 1800Clarke print of Cromarty
This is a copy of the Clarke engraving produced around 1800? (I'm sure David Alston will be snorting with amusement and put me right). There's a certain amount of artistic license (the ruined wall in the foreground), but the view of the town and ships is very interesting. The engraving is also currently used in the Cromarty leaflet. A close up of the area around the town is shown on picture #442.

Album: Every Kind of Light
Year: 2005
. . .
But, of course, The Posies didn't break up in 1998. At least not for good. There was just too much chemistry in the Ken Stringfellow / Jon Auer paring for them to ignore it for the rest of their lives. And while Ken Stringfellow toured with R.E.M. for several years, as well as played on both Reveal and Around the Sun while putting out a couple of solo albums as well, it was clear that the Posies weren't truly finished.
In fact, they almost instantly they put out a live album culled from the last tour, Alive Before The Iceberg, and in 2000 Stringfellow and Auer reunited acoustically, as captured on the In Case You Didn't Feel Like Plugging In live album in 2000 and the studio EP Nice Cheekbones an a PHD in 2001.
Also in 2000, Geffen put out the utterly stellar Dream All Day best-of — the one Posies album, etc — which has every song I've written about except "Grant Hart" — for the dabblers, while the band themselves released the massive At Least, At Last box set for the crazies like me.
And finally, in 2005, a true proper Posies album: Every Kind of Light, signaling the inevitable — Stringfellow and Auer were pretty much doomed to continue to record together for the foreseeable future. And so every few years, a new Posies album appears: 2010 brought us Blood/Candy and 2016 brought the slightly experimental Solid States.
Every single one of these records has some great songs: "March Climes" from Solid States; "So Caroline" and "She's Coming Down Again" from Blood/Candy and "Sweethearts of Rodeo Drive" from Every Kind of Light. But the utter killer from the Posies post-millennial period is "Conversations," the highlight of Every Kind of Light, and as good of a song that Jon Auer has ever produced.
It could also be a commentary on their situation, starting off with just their guitars intertwined and Auer singing.
On the way back from yesterday, give yourself a break
And say hello to the now you know
Now you know (let it go) today
There's no prison left inside to guard you through
While Ken Stringfellow quietly joins in and counterpoints throughout the verse, it's Auer who heads to a falsetto at the end as the bass, drums and fuzzy guitars rumble in for the epic chorus.
Conversations on and on
Conversations on and on
Conversations on and on
I can tell you're the one that I'd bet our lives upon
It's a chorus that's been ringing in my head since I first heard it, and — like so many of best songs of the Posies — has only got better over time, so that anytime "Conversations" came up in the mix over that time, I've always turned it up just to sing along with "coversations on and on" on and on and on, even before I realized it was perhaps the most meta song in their entire catalog.
Conversations on and on
Conversations on and on
Conversations on and on
Is it clear?
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me just as well?
Conversations on and on
Conversations on and on
Conversations on and on
I mean, c'mon! Sure, it could be written to a romantic partner, but when later in the song, they trade off crazily hooky guitar solos, it just thematically hammers home that they've been having every kind of conversation since the mid-1980s, and they'll continue to do so on and on and on and on and on. Or at least I hope so. I'll always be eager to listen to what they're talking about.

Dear Parents,
While some of you wish that summer break could go on forever, I know many of you are excited to once again send your children off to school. It has been a whirlwind summer spent chasing the little ones around the house, listening to the older ones complain of boredom, keeping everyone sane and out of trouble, and possibly even coercing your children to complete the dreaded summer reading projects. Finally, you can take a deep breath and pass the baton to the teachers and school administrators. Don't get so excited though that you fail to aid both student and teacher in making a clean transition.
As a former teacher, I can assure you that you play an integral role in how the year will play out. Start the year off right by attending Open House if possible or by emailing the teacher. Future conversations will go more easily if you build a relationship now. Alert teachers now to any vision or hearing issues, any learning challenges, and any behavior issues your child has been known to have. It is so helpful to know these things at the start. You have no idea how many students will tell the teacher a month into school that they can't see the board. Often after accommodating them, the teacher suspects that the student's complaint was really just an excuse to sit next to his best friend as the quality of his work has actually decreased and the level of distraction has increased. Without parents providing such valuable information (preferably in writing so it can be referred to later), it really is just a guessing game for teachers. Which students have legitimate issues and which are just trying to pull a fast one?
Another thing you can do to make the year go smoothly is to see the guidance counselor or registrar about getting online access to your child's grades. Every teacher has experienced the phone call of a parent who calls at the end of the quarter to say he or she should have been made aware of the child's poor grade. Please understand that teachers have the best of intentions, but they also, at least at the middle and high school level, have 100+ students and a mandatory twenty to thirty assignments to grade each quarter. With 2000+ papers to grade every nine weeks, it simply isn't possible to contact parents every time a student fails an assignment or doesn't turn it in at all. That doesn't mean that teachers don't want to hear from you. They love to hear from concerned parents. They don't need you to be the helicopter parent that calls every other day, but they certainly don't want you to be hands off either. For most teachers, an email is often easier than a phone call as they can return it from home or in between classes or meetings. Email them every couple of weeks to check on progress, behavior, and upcoming projects, but do what you can at home to hold your child accountable. Be mindful that teachers are not just teaching the curriculum; they are also trying to instill in students a strong work ethic and other skills necessary to succeed as they move from school to the workforce. Like you, they want your child to be a happy, healthy adult who is capable of chasing and fulfilling his dreams later on. You and your child may not always appreciate the hard lessons of losing credit for late work or not having it accepted at all. Just remember the teacher isn't trying to be mean or lessen his workload; he is simply attempting to teach your child accountability.
There are a few other helpful pointers, which may seem like common sense to you, but believe me, they are issues in many classrooms. First, don't do your child's work for him. How else is he or she going to learn the material? Not only that, what lesson do you teach when you do this? It certainly doesn't make the student accountable for or appreciative of his learning. It also shows him that teachers do not have your respect, which will, in turn, affect the respect he affords his teacher. Second, talk to your child about the importance of doing his own work. Classwork and homework are preparation for upcoming tests and if your child has copied answers from a friend rather than working thru things on his own, how will that impact his test scores? He should also do his friends the favor of not letting them copy his work either. He does want his friends to be able to pass the test, right? Teaching them that copying is cheating and that cheating is wrong instills accountability, integrity, and self-esteem. It is better for him to fail an assignment completed on his own so that the teacher is aware he is struggling and can offer assistance than to copy, get a good grade and no extra help from the teacher, and fail the test. Third, know that lack of attendance and excessive tardies are a big issue in middle and high school. Talk to your child about the need to be at school and in class on time. Most parents are on board with this and struggle right along with teachers to nip this negative behavior; however, some parents knowingly allow students to regularly miss school. By allowing absences and tardies without consequence, students learn that school is not important. This leads to a lack of respect for authority and other such issues. Please, please, please stress the importance of being at school. Finally, talk to your child about being prepared for school and organized. Yes, there are students who genuinely lack supplies and teachers/schools do their best to provide for those in financial need. The problem is that approximately one-third of students show up to class each day without paper, writing utensils, and other supplies. Whenever I brought up this issue at parent/teacher conferences, nine times out of ten the parent informed me that the child had a full supply of materials at home and didn't understand why these supplies weren't making it to school every day. Just imagine all the time that is wasted each day as the same students wander the room in search of these items. Everyone expects teachers to offer up a pen or sheet of paper when needed and trust me I tried to do just that but as items borrowed were rarely returned, I found I could go thru at least a full case of pens bought in bulk every quarter. This is an expense teachers can ill afford.
So to recap, here are my tips for a successful school year: 1) contact teachers now to get and give vital information; 2) monitor your child's grades online and hold them accountable; 3) stress the importance of the student doing his own work; 4) let your child know you think school is important and he is expected to attend regularly and be on time; and 5) do what you can to provide the necessary supplies and ensure they actually make it to school. By doing all of these things, you will give your child an academic advantage, make the learning process more pleasurable for other students in the class, and show support for the teacher who will be forever grateful.

I am on holiday with my family for the first time in 13 years.
The first holiday in 1999 was with my parents, my 3 siblings, my aunt, her 2 kids and my grandmother. We went to Ibiza. It was a disaster. Everybody argued. Our hotel was filled with old german people. There was nothing to do because we went at the end of the season (which was cheaper) and everything was closing down. My mother made me sing Patsy Cline's Crazy in a karaoke session. I didn't know most of the words, thankfully nobody boo'd me.
I swore after that 2 week holiday that I'd never go on a family holiday again.
Yet here we are today. I'm sitting in one of our deluxe 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom caravans, on the Costa del Weymouth. With my parents, my husband, my siblings, my brothers partner and their kids.
So far no-one has killed anyone. Although we've already managed to spend £335 on food for the week. Quite possibly we have already killed the majority of our finances. However I've got 6 bottles of wine and a bottle of champagne out of that, so, you know, at least if a family argument breaks out I've got wine. I'll be the one sitting in the corner swigging wine from the bottle and ignoring everyone.

As we are nearing the end of the year, we start to make plans for the coming year and think back on all the things we've done previously.
Early this year, I told myself that I'll make a difference this time. And one of my travel bio had this written on my profile page:
Even before, I've always wanted to travel but would always end up being consumed by work or will just be too busy with so many excuses… But life is short. I was able to travel but not as much as I want to.. That's why I said that this year is when I plan to be different. I'll find time to travel – that's why we're working anyway right, for these reasons. I'll find the courage to travel alone, I know it's exciting, and getting lost is always an adventure. I would love to meet new friends , hear their travel experiences and learn from it. If I can find someone or a group that can be my regular buddies, that would be a bonus! But basically, I just like to share and hear from people the same passion I have, not just for traveling but also for adventure, fun and life!
Eleven months after, I can say that I was able to find time to make travel plans, found courage, got lost, had some boo-boo moments (if you know what I mean 😉 , met people, and gained more experience that taught me a lesson and at the same time, made me know myself more.
As I start another year, I still plan to continue to do those things that I've always wanted to do but was never driven enough (not that I never had the chance) I've always wanted to have my own blog site where I can share my thoughts and feelings.
This post will be the start of something new and I am excited to share my world to those who are just like me.. afraid to take the risk. I use to say 'Life is Fun' but later on I realized that before I even reach that level, I have to take the risk first or else I wont be able to build the confidence to do something that I haven't done before. Only then can I say that I gained another experience. Life is indeed FUN if we are BOLD enough to take the RISK.

Abstract : Software acquisition has become the critical path in the procurement of Department of Defense (DOD) weapon systems. Software requirements and their complexity have increased at an exponential rate and support requirements now constitute up to 70 percent of the software life cycle costs. This thesis presents the concept of software Total Quality Management (TQM) which focuses on the entire process of software acquisition, as a partial solution to the software acquisition crisis. A software case study, analysis, and lessons learned with applications to the Army Tactical Missile System (TA MS) is presented. A software process control maturity model, a standard software language, and a set of software metrics are presented. A discussion of program manager's responsibilities to implement a process control mechanism to produce quality software products is presented. The principal finding is that software acquisition is the major challenge to a program manager for weapon systems procurement. The major recommendation of this study is that software TQM can be applied to software acquisition.

With over 20 acres of lavender fields and natural flora, our bees are happy!
Try Indigo Lavender Farms' Honey
Sweet, floral goodness can be found in our all-natural, pure RAW honey. Indigo Lavender Farms' bees actively work to pollinate our 23 areas of lavender fields and wetland wildflowers, and we harvest honey from these hives at least twice a year to make available to our customers. Customers rave over its taste! No additives; we do not infuse with lavender or any other fragrance or oil. Lavender Honey is like Clover Honey: the makeup of the honey is based on what the bees primarily pollinate.
RAW Honey vs. REGULAR Honey
Raw honey is best described as "it exists in the beehive". Raw honey is directly extracted from the honeycombs of the hive and then poured over a mesh or nylon cloth to separate the honey from impurities like beeswax and dead bees. Once strained, raw honey is bottled and ready to be enjoyed.
Regular honey involves several more steps before it is bottled; such as pasteurization and filtration. Pasteurization destroys the yeast found in honey by applying high heat which extends the shelf life and makes it smoother. Filtration further removes impurities like debris and air bubbles so that the honey stays as a clear liquid for a longer period of time. Some commercial honeys are additionally processed with ultra-filtration. This process further refines it to make it more transparent and smooth, but this can remove beneficial nutrients like pollen, enzymes and antioxidants.
Why Should You Try Our Locally Harvested Honey?
- You are supporting local business
- It's beneficial to the environment, and
- It can be beneficial to your health!
Here are some ways that local honey is superior to the store-bought variety:
- Local honey contains local pollen that can help control your seasonal allergies;
- Organic honey is free of antibiotics and other unhealthy substances; and
- Support for your local beekeeper means you're doing your part to save the bees.
Experience the benefits of local honey for yourself!
Creamed Lavender Honey
Typically available in late-winter and early-spring, creamed honey is crystallized honey mixed with pure honey to create a buttery, smooth and spreadable honey. Still 100% pure honey from our very own beehives, creamed honey is a treat not to be missed.
