Everyone of us must have wondered as a child what the other side of the mirror is like.
And after reading "Alice in Wonderland" and follow her adventures "Through the Looking Glass", surely many wondered where you can find a rabbit burrow, or mirror which could take you to another world.
A world ruled by laws unknown to us, where many bizarre, incomprehensible beings. So if you have not grown out of the childhood dreams we invite you to go on a journey into the world on the other side of the … water surface.
In this world, certainly for a little while you may feel like in a phantasy book. Welcome to the marshes - and more specifically to its underwater world. In the spring, marsh meadows are covered by flooding water and the marshes become, though for a short time, the kingdom of aquatic organisms. Some are brought by river from distances of tens of kilometres and they now settle in a new and unfamiliar place. Others come with rainwater. Finally, there are also those that have been buried in the mud or hidden in other corners trying to survive in anticipation of the spring flood. Let's look at them for a moment.
Most of them are not built in the way we know from observations of organisims living on our side of the water. The aquatic world is ruled by completely different laws. Here the backbone, or spine, developed to combine the unpleasant effects of gravity, is rather unnecessary. Here various water-saving systems are useless - because water is everywhere around.
Here, however, which is not at all easy, you have to face the much higher density of environment. After all, water is much more dense than the air in which we are moving. Even worse, you have to be prepared for shortage of oxygen. And this, in shallow, fast-drying marshy backwaters, is a particularly common problem. Therefore, instead of legs, wings or beaks, in populations on the other side of the water surface, we see tentacles, cilia and limbs of all sizes, types and colours. Their owners can sometimes make impressions just as stunning as the Mad Hatter, Caterpillar or Mock Turtle – the characters in "Alice in Wonderland".
Most of the creatures living here might look like they came straight out of nightmares. However, this is very misleading. There are plenty of peaceful herbivores whose lives are spent on chewing and digestion. Herbivores are likely to be the first that we notice, leaning over the water surface. Frequently they will be snails. Shallow marshy backwaters are especially favoured by river snails. On warm days they congregate at the water surface, where there is more oxygen, and create a picture similar to well-known land herbivores. This view is especially common in canals and ditches criss-crossing marshes.
A characteristic feature of the river snail is the clearly visible entrance to conical shell forming a closure lid. This is a feature that allows us to tell river snails from their cousins.
When the marsh is far from a river and floods tend to be shallow, in the spring there appear Notostracas. Though they look like the main character from a horror movie, this is an excellent example of the ingenuity of nature. They have not changed since the Triassic. In other words, they have managed to survive for the pas 220 million years! Once it gets warm in the shallow waters there appear hundreds of them. They need to hurry. You have to multiply and eat, in order to gather the necessary energy reserves for a period of lethargy into which the fall buried in the soil, after their pools dry.
Definitely more exciting are the predators of this / that world. Frequently lurking somewhere on the bottom or hidden somewhere among the plants, they are extremely difficult to observe. After all, if an ambush is to be effective, one must not be easily visible - either to potential victims or for us, guests from the other side of the mirror. In any case, it is worth to be patient and inquisitive - and try to see some of them. This may be a larva of a dragonfly, a great diving beetle or water scavenger beetle. The word many people use to describe them is "monster". Everyone who sees them, without hesitation agrees with that. This is mainly due to their large size and large jaws. The size of their jaws does not allow us to forget what these creatures feed on. It's a real lion in the microcosm of shallow marshy water. Scavenge beetles can even hunt on land. The jaws of the larvae of dragonflies or great diving beetle can even bite through small fish or tadpoles. And those who are surprised by the presence of these insects in water, they are a reminded that many insect larvae develop in water.
To complete the gallery of wonders of the world on the other side of the water surface, let's have a look at the smallest living creatures. To see them, we have to really strain our eyes. At first we see only small fragments lifted in the water depths. But upon closer scrutiny, some of them are beginning to change direction and turn out to be not debris flowing in the water but real living creatures. It is the animal plankton, the smallest creatures visible to the naked eye in the flooded marsh. The smallest does not mean the least interesting. Even under a magnifying glass we can see how amazing they are! Unusual body shapes. Big disproportionate eyes - sometimes only one! Branched antennae, often longer than the rest of the body. For example Daphnia and Cyclopoida.
They can also be seen in the drying marshy backwaters. While the water from the swamp disappears they are lying in wait as eggs - precursors to new generations. And although they are not the most pretty creatures (especially from the perspective of a magnifying glass or a microscope!), scientists have given them beautiful names. These are, of course, not all extraordinary inhabitants of the world on the other side of the mirror. Although the water in the swamp appears periodically, the richness of life that is growing in shallow, warm sun-heated pools can be stunning. For some, this is their whole world. Beautiful, fascinating, valuable, and worth our attention.

Evening all,Just wondering what people's thoughts are on E cigs.....In a nutshell, I quit smoking 2 weeks ago cold turkey. No massive withdrawals but have been fairly miserable since just missing smoking in general (I know I know it's nasty and disgusting....).Anyway as you can see I am struggling but trying to keep it in the day. I do keep thinking of the E cigs though and maybe rather than lose all resolve I could use these if really desperate? Currently vowing never to put another actual cig in my mouth againWhat are people's thoughts on these?Thanks in advance
Also, my sister found the support from justquit.ie really good
I would avoid the e cigs if you can. It sounds weird but taking fish oil capsules helps reduce cravings. Someone who quit told me and i used them myself. Still off them so maybe it works! I read Alan Carr and used nicotine gum for about 3 days but once I accepted the fact that I could never again have another cigarette I felt more mentally resilient and was easier to plough through the cravings.
Thanks everyone, feeling better today.I meant to say Allen Carr does NOT recommend substitutes not does so will try and give the e cig a miss
Try Accupuncture for cravings
I wouldn't go down the e cig route. They are not healthy and not a good substitute. At this stage the nicotine will have left your no say so tgere is no reason to put more nicotine into the body. You will start noticing smells and tastes more as your body starts to restore itself. The first 2 weeks are peak for craving and anxiety but thinks should start settling down from now on and cravings will become fewer. A craving ladts around 3 minutes so devise distraction techniques for this time. Keeping your blood sugars up will help as they tend to do when quitting - fruit juice helps with this or small regular meals.Just keep thinking of only the day you are in - one day at a time is a cliche but a good mantra when quitting. Good luck
Would you try reading his book? My dh read his book 20 years ago, just woke up one morning, decided to read his book and never smoked again. Worth a try.
Believe it or not cindy I did the course 2 weeks ago! It def works in terms of education and mindset but I'm just struggling with the resolve..... I know Allen Carr method does recommend substitutes.I do feel great health wise but my thoughts go to cigarettes many times a day. What a scourge

Unit Seven: Communicative Activities TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
- Grace Clarke
- 2 years ago
- Views:
1 Unit Seven: Communicative Activities TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
2 Language Practice Reaching a Consensus Discussion Relaying instructions Communication games Problem solving Talking about oneself Simulation Role-play ORAL COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITIES
3 LANGUAGE PRACTICE Information Gap Activities One student has information that other student(s) do not have Students must find the missing information Mechanical Activities Pure manipulation of forms Must be meaningful to learners Authentic Language Activities should replicate what is actually said in the real world (not the classroom world) Maximize student interaction Activities need to provide students with multiple opportunities to speak Integration of Language Skills Variety of skills
4 LANGUAGE PRACTICE Focus on the use of target language Accuracy is important Feedback & correction is given often Confidence building exercises Teacher- conductor Comprehension checks Controlled Activities Free Activities Spontaneous, unpredictable language Focused on fluency Errors noted and handled after task or in later lessons New language is integrated with old. Check ability to extend language use
5 CONTROLLED TYPE ACTIVITIES Listen and repeat Total Physical Response (TPR) Chain Drills Bingo Practice new words/phrases Confidence booster Uses teacher directed imperatives, directives, commands Focus on accuracy Reviews vocabulary
6 Authentic, communicative activities FREE ACTIVITIES
7 Five Stages to this type of activity: Stage One: Students are asked to individually write down ten items they would like to take with them. Stage Two: When all students have completed their lists, put them in pairs and have each pair negotiate a new list. Stage Three: Combine pairs and repeat Stage Four: Groups can now be joined together and the lists re-negotiated Stage Five: When the teacher thinks the activity has gone on long enough, a feedback session is conducted with the whole class in which each group explains and justifies its choices. REACHING A CONSENSUS
8 DISCUSSIONS The topic for discussion today will be the translational and rotational dynamics of optically anisotropic colloidal particles in viscoelastic polymer gels.
9 TECHNIQUES TO GET STUDENTS TALKING Put students in groups first to practice. Give students a chance to prepare. Give students a task,
10 THREE TYPES OF DISCUSSION GROUP ACTIVITIES Buzz Groups Controversial Topics The Debate Establish time frame Prepare small questionnaire Give students a controversial proposition Groups prepare for / against arguments Stimulate ideas Students justify answers Elect members to give speech Class votes on whether the issues passes

14 Effective means to review vocabulary, grammatical structures and other features of the language o2no GAMES IN THE CLASSROOM
15 COMMUNICATION GAMES Spot the difference games Describe and arrange Story reconstruction Poem reconstruction
18 STORY RECONSTRUCTION Stage 1 Divide class into four large groups A, B, C, D Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5 Each group is given 1 picture of a strip story and told to discuss it After a couple of minute, the teacher takes the pictures back from the groups The teacher makes new groups with one student from each of the original groups (ie. One from A, one from B, etc) The students in the new groups have to try and reconstruct the story by discussing what they saw on each of their pictures. Stage 6 The teacher then gets the different groups to tell their stories.
19 POEM RECONSTRUCTION More attractive than a king.
20 TALKING ABOUT ONESELF Your Name Put students in pairs What we have in common Put students in pairs Find out 5 things they have in common Musical associations
21 SIMULATION, DRAMA, & ROLE PLAY Imagination takes over!! Starting point for listening and speaking work Can be utilized as a tool to provide practice in specific grammatical, lexical, functional or phonological areas It also allows students to be free from cultural constraints and expected behavior
22 SIX TYPES 1. Role plays: students act out small scenes using their own ideas or ideas and information on role cards 2. Simulation: a large scale role play. Role cards are used and there is often other background information as well. The intention is to create a much more complete, complex world, of a business, television studio, government, etc. 3. Drama games: short games that usually involve movement and imagination 4. Guided improvisation: a scene is improvised. One by one students join in in character, until the whole scene and possibly story take on a life of its own. 5. Acting play scripts: short written sketches or scenes written, produced and acted by students 6. Prepared improvised drama: students in small groups invent and rehears a short scene or story that they perform for each other
23 Relaying instructions Co-operative writing Exchanging letters Writing journals WRITTEN COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
24 RELAYING INSTRUCTIONS Steve, Take off your glasses Maria, Stand up and sing the national anthem
26 EXCHANGING LETTERS: THE AGONY COLUMN With this type of activity, students make up a problem and write a letter to the columnist (one appointed in the class) The appointed columnist then writes back to the student with a recommendation
27 WRITING JOURNALS: PROCESS WRITING Focuses on allowing students to write with plenty of room for error Standard correction begins slowly; only mistakes made in grammar & vocabulary that have been previously taught are corrected
29 INCORPORATED PROCESS WRITING INTO YOUR STUDENT S LEARNING ROUTINE Aim: improve writing skills Levels: Beginning to advanced
30 OUTLINE THE PROCESS TO STUDENTS Encourage learners to write in their journal at least a few times a week. Explain the idea of process writing, and how mistakes aren't important at this stage. Students should write on the front side of each page only. Teachers will provide notes on the writing on the back. Start this activity by modeling the first journal entry as a class. Ask students to come up with various themes that could be covered in a journal Ask each student to choose a theme and write a short journal entry based on this theme. Collect the journals the first time in class and do a quick, superficial correction of each student's journal. Ask students to rewrite their work based on your comments. After this first session, collect students' workbooks once a week and correct only one piece of their writing. Ask students to rewrite this piece.
32 STUDENT S VIEWPOINT Demoralizing to student if errors are marked in red SOLUTION: USE SYMBOLS P mistake in punctuation / unnecessary word Gr grammatical error WW wrong word SP spelling mistake ^ word omitted T wrong tense WO incorrect word order DIFFICULTIES IN CORRECTING INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF WRITING
33 USE THE BLACKBOARD Write sentences that require correction on the board
37 Personal assessments Learning Strategies Language Awareness LEARNER TRAINING
38 PERSONAL ASSESSMENTS 1. Did/do you get good results in grammar tests? 2. Do you have a good memory for new words? 3. Do you hat making mistakes? 4.In class, do you get irritated if mistakes are not corrected? 5. Is your pronunciation better when you read aloud than when you have a conversation? 6. Do you wish you had more time to think before speaking? 7. Did/do you enjoy being in class? 8. Do you find it difficult to pick up more than two or three words of a new language when you are on holiday abroad? 9. Do you like to learn new grammar rules, words, etc. by heart? Usually Sometimes (almost) never Don t know
39 LEARNING STRATEGIES: TRAIN STUDENTS TO 1...use textbooks 2. use communicative activities properly 3. read for gist 4...deal with unfamiliar vocabulary 5. to use dictioinaries
40 HOMEWORK 1. Design your own ESL oral communicative activity for a beginners class based upon what you ve learned in this unit. 2. Design your own written communicative activity for an elementary level adult ESL class based upon the ideas in this unit.

My Mother's Wish, An American Christmas Carol, by Jerry Camery-Hoggatt, is a sweet little Christmas story told with the imagery of Garrison Keillor, if Garrison Keillor had the bizarre sense of humor and imagination of Tim Burton.
My Mother's Wish tells the story of Ellee, a young girl who embraces being "contrariwise" in every sense of the word. She insists on being her own person, defying the mold her strong willed, proper mother has created for her. She resists her given (read "forced upon") nae of Eleanor and the image it conjures.
Ellee paints word pictures that will make the reader feel 8 years old all over again. In fact, her narrative style will remind you of Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird. Ellee is wise beyond her years, funny and sadly misunderstood. But in the end, she is loved and accepted for who she really is. This is a tale of reconcilliation . . . a wry, hilarious, sad little tale of eventual acceptance and forgiveness. Thankfully, Christmas morning comes just in time.
Here's the summary of the book provided by the publisher:
An affecting tale, My Mother's Wish will remind you of the power of grand hopes and effect of impossible expectations. You'll witness the influence every life has on another, and you'll find new reasons to believe in the comfort and joy in an everyday, American version of the story of Christmas: being known and loved, just as you are.
I have two copies of this book to giveaway. Just send your name and mailing address to email@example.com to register for My Mother's Wish. TWO winners will be drawn at random this Friday, November 21st. Good luck! If you don't win, you can buy this book from www.amazon.com and other booksellers. It would make a great holiday gift.

Are you a Hobbit in your business?
Am I the only person out there that finds the whole Hobbit and Lord of the Rings a bore? To me the movies are tragically flawed to the point you could fall asleep and wake up hours later and not miss anything in the unfolding plot. It is one wrestle after another.
The most recent movie, The Hobbit, is no exception. It's a shame too, since the costumes and scenery are stunning. The acting is not bad either. I think part of the problem is that the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, is just way too flawed. In the story there is a lot of time spent establishing the Hobbit as a loner who stays at home enjoying his books. There is nothing wrong with that, but it does raise the big question of why these thirteen other heroic characters would join up with him? Why would they even care if he were on the journey with them?
This is a good question, not only for the movie, but is a good question to ask yourself. Why would potential clients or customers join up with you? Why would they part with their hard earned money to go on whatever journey you are offering them? Some would say, "because my product is so good". That is like saying that the Hobbit is so good. There was a ton of other people those heroes could have chosen, just like your potential clients have a lot of other people and products that they could choose from. If you were able to objectively step back and ask yourself if your service or product really offers something particularly suited to client needs, what would your answer be?
In the movie it seemed to suggest that there was some sort of sign that these men should choose the Hobbit. In the business world, I have had people hire me as a coach because they said they had a sign that they should do it. It is really cool when that happens, but for me, at least, these are few and far between happenings, and I most definitely wouldn't want to rest my whole business on that expectation.
I am not sure what other reason the movie gave for why the wizard and dwarves picked the Hobbit. I have to admit that I may have fallen asleep by that point, and my husband couldn't come up with any other reasons he saw. So if there were other reasons, they were so buried in the scene that it induced sleep, for me, anyway.
Inducing sleep with your potential customer is the last thing you want to do when you are trying to convince them that you are the person they should take their journey with. There needs to be something more juicy than sleep-inducing reasons. Funny thing, I tried to read the Hobbit several times and always tossed it at the same point at which I fell asleep in the movie. I obviously didn't buy that the journey was a good enough one to take, or that there was enough involved in the journey that I cared about. Even at the end of the movie, we were wondering what had really happened? It seemed they went through adventures but didn't even make it back to the castle, much less get the home back for the dwarves.
The movie felt like a lot of mindless action without making significant change for the world of the people involved, and definitely didn't improve my world with insight, humor, or much of anything but a fairly good nap. If the movie is supposed to be a trilogy, then that is not a good enough reason for this movie to not stand on it's own. Just like in your business you need to be able to stand on your own value no matter what part of the journey you are on.
To avoid causing such flatness with your potential clients, there needs to be a really good reason why you are the one to go on the journey with and not hope to come up with a reason during the journey. There also has to be forward motion, where your customer gets the value that working with you provides, and of course the most obvious element you need in your business is to be entertaining enough that you keep your customers not only awake but feeling like you are committed to the results that you promised you would bring them by working with you.

The Register's Annual General Meeting was held on 17 March and we were pleased that around 30 people attended considering the weather forecast was for snow. One member even braved the journey from Northamptonshire in his Wolseley 15/50!
Members enjoyed a light buffet and the opportunity to chat and browse the Regalia and Publications stalls before the meeting began. Copies of the minutes of the meeting can be obtained from the Secretary but below is a summary of key points.
In his review, the Chairman reported that 2017 had been a successful year. As well as the usual measures, including a good National Rally and a sound financial position, we had achieved many of the objectives set for 2017 in the Club Plan. These included:
- The List of Recorded Vehicles and Membership List are both now available online through a secure members login
- Huge growth in our used spares operation – ten times what it had been previously
- Major re-manufacturing project undertaken
- Our website has been upgraded to be 'tablet-friendly'
- Links with other clubs have been strengthened
- Search for archive premises is underway
- Show-stand presentation has been improved
- Six-Ninety Super Profile has been published.
The Chairman then thanked the committee and team members for their work. The Treasurer introduced the accounts which were approved by the meeting. Other officers reported on Spares, Regalia and the Club's short-listing for two categories in The National Car Club Awards: 'Best Car Club Contribution to Charity' and 'Unsung Hero'. The awards will take place on 24 March at the NEC Restoration Show.
The meeting elected five core management committee posts: Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Membership Secretary. Around 35 co-options to various posts, including Technical Advisers, were noted.
After the conclusion of the formal business, the members who are due to receive long membership awards this year were announced, including the first to reach 50 years' membership. The John H. Brindley memorial award was also presented to the Member who had recorded the highest mileage in his Wolseley during 2017.
To round of the afternoon, there were two guest speakers:
- Christopher Madeley from Chaucer College, Canterbury gave a talk on 'From Wolseley Motors Ltd and Ishikawajima in Tokyo to Isuzu Motors Ltd'
- Ray Newell, Secretary of the Morris Minor Owners Club gave a talk on 'The objectives and purpose of the Morris Vehicles Association.'
The afternoon concluded with the Publicity and Press Liaison Officer summarising the many Wolseley anniversaries the Register is celebrating during 2018.

Hi Maureen: Not sure how to find you, also not clear why your prolific blog stopped a year ago. I am going to use your photo of Oliver Lee park, credited of course, because your blog site says you generally say yes. Here is the query I sent in January. Hope you are well and traveling somewhere wonderful.ReplyDelete
Hi Maureen
I run a large outreach program for high school kids where we take them on geologic field trips every summer. This summer we are going to Oliver Lee park and I would love to use your photo in our guidebook -- the longview with the layered rocks. When we scouted the location last fall it was nearly dark and I could not get a good photo. Please email me and I can give more information on who we are and what we do. Or you can google GeoFORCE Texas. Thanks email@example.com
Eleanour snow
Hi Eleanor- Apologies that you had not received my reply. Yes please do use the image ...it looks like you do some wonderful work! I would just request that you give me credit for the photograph.ReplyDelete
I've had a tremulous year and hope to begin blogging again, thank you for your thoughtful feedback.
Best, Maureen

49ers Assistant Katie Sowers Becomes 1st Openly Gay Coach in NFL HistoryAugust 22, 2017
Katie Sowers, a San Francisco 49ers assistant who became the NFL's second full-time female coach earlier this month, will also be the league's first openly gay coach.
"No matter what you do in life, one of the most important things is to be true to who you are," Sowers told Jim Buzinski of SB Nation's Outsports in an interview that ran Tuesday. "There are so many people who identify as LGBT in the NFL, as in any business, that do not feel comfortable being public about their sexual orientation.
"The more we can create an environment that welcomes all types of people, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, the more we can help ease the pain and burden that many carry every day."
She is the first openly gay coach in any men's professional sport in the United States. Her work with the 49ers began over the summer as an intern who helped coach the wide receivers. Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers' head coach, had familiarity with her after she worked with the Atlanta Falcons in 2016, where he was the offensive coordinator.
"We were in Atlanta, and people asked, 'Why did you want to bring a girl here?' I didn't even look at it that way," Shanahan told Cam Inman of the Mercury News. "She helped us there and asked if she could do the same thing here.
"Because of what she did in Atlanta, we'd love her to be here. She helps out. She's good in the room. It helps her because she learns, too. But I like hearing Katie's opinion. She does a good job for us."
Sowers said she believes an openly gay male coach would also be accepted, and that she has run into no obstacles since disclosing her orientation.
"I do believe that an openly gay male coach would be accepted just like anyone else," Sowers said. "What most people need to remember is that the NFL is a place of work for these players and it is a job that provides for their families. They are professionals and what you will find is they act like professionals in everything they do."
She added that she hopes she can be a role model for young women who hope to work in the NFL.

Metal Piercing
A process used to provide holes with tight tolerances for metal components. Piercing is more productive than drilling and offers a cleaner cut. Accurate Forming utilizes piercing to add holes to the sides, bottoms or tops of the deep drawn product we manufacture. The piercing process is accomplished by using a punch and die which is capable of providing more than one (1) hole per operation. These holes are used for many applications which include switches, connections, lights (LED's), mating assembly openings and more. Accurate Forming performs it's piercing as a secondary operation which is typically customized to the deep drawn part which is being pierced.
Below is an example of a deep drawn product that Accurate Forming has added pierced holes to the product.

I explore the intersections of sixteenth-century literature and twentieth-century continental philosophy, especially through the works of William Shakespeare and Emmanuel Levinas. English Studies in Canada, Renascence, The European Journal of English Studies and essay collections have published my articles, and in 2012 Duquesne University Press published my monograph, Forgiving the Gift: The Philosophy of Generosity in Shakespeare and Marlowe. Currently, my work is organized around ideas of peace in Shakespeare.
ENGL 220 002 Foundations: Literature in Historical Context I
ENGL 353 101 Shakespeare: Later Works
I believe that teaching converts research into dialogue, and turns a personal pleasure into a public good. My teaching interests therefore grow out of my research interests, focusing on literature and especially Shakespeare. In the 2011-12 academic year, I am teachingEnglish 220 (Literature in English to the 18th century) and English 439 (Later Shakespeare), but also an honours seminar / graduate course on peace in Shakespeare (English 497 / 524A), and an experimental second-year course on the history of the book(CCS 200).
I also serve as coordinator for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
Research Interests
Mais il me semble parfois que toute la philosophie n'est qu'une méditation de Shakespeare. (Emmanuel Levinas, Temps et l'Autre)
My research concentrates on the intersections between continental philosophy, especially that of Emmanuel Levinas, and Elizabethan drama, particularly William Shakespeare's. This nexus embraces analogous questions raised by the relationship of Elizabethan drama to the reformation theological context in which it found itself.
I have become increasingly interested in the tendency for critics of Shakespeare to evade philosophical, religious, or ethical questions in order to concentrate on social and political issues. My forthcoming monograph, Forgiving the Gift: The Philosophy of Generosity in Shakespeare and Marlowe, addresses that curious gap. I limit myself to neither an early modern social practice nor overt depictions of gift-giving on the stage, but on the contrary posit radical generosity as a violation of the various economies, circulations and exchanges which weave the fabric of society.
My current project, on peace in Shakespeare, questions the tendency of critics, theorists and philosophers to treat war as normative and even ubiquitous. War in Shakespeare is certainly frequent, of course, but the plays also enunciate a concern with peace, both negatively, by emphasizing the horrors of war, and positively, by offering alternative models of human life.

I saw this thread a while ago, and usually I would say the GSP is fantastic, never had a problem. However my last purchase has been an absolute nightmare. I found a 5150 on ebay sn: 0130356, stock as far as I can tell. I think this is one of the very first made in '82. The images were terrible, but the seller answered all my questions, and I got it for $150. Then the seller tells me he has the original box!
So It's shipped via the GSP and as far as I can tell eBay have forcefully purchased it from me. They said it had a 'customs issue' and gave me a number to quote to customs when I rang them. Then I contacted ebay again, and they told me that number was their transcript number, so they lied. I used their live chat trying to find out where it is. First they tell me it is in customs, then later in the same conversation I found out it had never even reached customs. Their GSP in Kentucky still had it, it had never left there, and THEY had decided it had 'customs issues'.
Now I know there are no customs issues as I've bought a 5150 via the GSP before. They could not even give a reason as to what the 'customs issue' is. They then shifted blame to Pitney Bowes, then later on admitted the GSP and Pitney Bowes are the same thing. They gave me the runaround for 3 hours! They then told me the item would be liquidated. So I said I would buy the liquidated stock. They then tell me liquidated means destroyed! This is not a UK definition of liquidated.
Eventually they told me the seller would have to ask to have the item shipped back to them, so we could arrange alternative shipping. So the seller contacts them. They then tell the seller it is stuck in customs. They keep changing their story.
What can I do? Any ideas? Is this even legal?
I'm really gutted about this, trying to find an early 5150 is difficult anyway. But in the UK, you have the shipping cost, and worse the ridiculously high tax on imports!

Grinding nibs with a blender can heat the nibs up so we have worked out a way to avoid that. It's not the easiest task but it is workable.
A better and faster way to use your blender if you have an Oster is to use the Oster 4 oz Mini Jar. You can see that procedure by going to the link below.
Easy Grind Nibs - Using the Oster Mini Jar
This example shows amounts. It's important to note that you begin with 50% nibs to 50% powders and then add the rest of the powder later when doing the final steps.
Step One
The mixture will turn a rich dark brown color, well blended (not dark and light). This indicates the nibs are pretty well broken down and mixed well. This takes a while using this method.
Step Four - Optional
When you've completed all the steps, put the mixture into another container so your blender is ready for the liquid steps.
You have a choice at this point. You can do the above process and just store the mixture in the refrigerator to be used later or do the final steps now.
For the final steps, Just use the link below and you'll be there.
Blending Nibs Ingredients - Final Steps
Please feel free to email me if you have questions or comments. I am always happy to respond.

November Books of trhe Month
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. This was a book club pick. I didn't want to read it. I haven't read a circus book since I read Circus Shoes in elementary school. But I actually enjoyed it, especially the part where the main character is an old man creating havoc in the nursing home. I'd give it a B.
The Orphaned Adult by Mark Angel. I've had this book for years; I bought it after my father died. I read it again because I'm writing an essay about the death of my mother, and I found it even more meaningful than before. Angel tells us all humans are destined to be orphans, then he tells us what those losses mean to us. Beautiful book, thought-provoking.
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. An offbeat, delightful book. It won't appeal to everyone, but I loved it. It alternates between the viewpoint of a middle-aged concierge in a fancy Paris apartment building, who hides the fact that she's ultra-intelligent, and a twelve-year-old resident of the building, who plans to commit suicide on her 13th birthday. I know it sounds strange, but give it a try.
How We Age by Marc Agronin. I heard the author speak recently. He's a geriatric psychiatrist with a positive view of aging gleaned from years of working with nursing home residents.
Potluck: Community on the Edge of Wilderness by Ana Maria Spagna. This is a collection of essays about the author's life in a tiny village in Washington State. Ana Maria was my memoir teacher at Gotham. She's a marvelous writer and a creative teacher. Her life in the wild couldn't be more different than mine in urban Houston, but I get what she's saying. We all need community. We need people who are there to support us in times of trouble and to encourage us when we're feeling down. Her experiences will intrigue you and her truth will inspire you.

You've been busy! I haven't read any of these, so I appreciate your comments on them.

I enjoyed 'The Elegance of the Hedgehog' and nice to read a french book in translation, if only to know what a french bestseller is.
I liked 'Water for Elephants' as well and even more for it being the product of a Nano 'write a novel in November' I believe.

Thelma, "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" sounds divine! I love when you pair up unlikely characters. And a concierge in Paris? I'm already intrigued! :)

Hey all!
So text structures and quoting are two very difficult tasks when it comes to breaking down non fiction. As we near the NWEA and the end of the year, I'd like for you guys to consider how you personally did on those skills. Do you know strategies for discovering text structure? How confident do you feel when it comes to choosing a quote to support your ideas?
Take a look at the following article and try to analyze at least 3 different types of structures (compare and contrast, problem and solution, cause and effect, main idea and details, chronological order or sequencing) and identify quotes to demonstrate how you know which type of structure is being used in that section of the text. HINT: Think back to centers week 4! You should write or type out a brief answer and bring it to me after school on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday of this week to discuss.

The North American International Auto Show in Detroit is not a local production anymore. It provides the domestic brands as well as the "implants" -- import car brands that have become permanent U.S. fixtures -- with an annual chance to flex their muscles.
This year the unspoken theme of the show is that you can have it all. Name your niche and there's a vehicle -- either already here or on the way -- to fill it.
Japanese companies are building full-size pickups in Indiana and Mississippi, domestic firms are building sports coupes based on German luxury car platforms, and every company seems to be experimenting with alternatives to the internal combustion engine.
From tiny city cars designed to scoot through crowded urban traffic -- the Kia Slice and Suzuki S concepts -- to monster touring cars such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom due out this summer to the 1,000-horsepower, V-16 powered Cadillac Sixteen concept that General Motors Corp. may build soon, the auto industry seems to be saying that it intends to fulfill every dream.
