After France's universal summer vacation comes the rentrée. The shops reopen and hold back-to-school sales. The hypermarkets hold their annual wine sales. Lynne and I stopped to buy picnic stuff at a village where the grape harvest at the surrounding vineyards turned out to be in full swing. In short, everyone goes back to work or back to school. Consequently, it is now possible for people to go back on strike, too. One major outbreak was a week-long series of transportation strikes in the Paris region that kept the capital tied up in knots. Train, bus and metro personnel were striking to improve security by adding more employees at isolated stations and on trains. They won government agreement to add 800 more workers. The monumental new national library is currently closed because the staff are on strike. There were also strikes by airport personnel at Orly (again), bus drivers in Lille and Chambery, and the staff of the national weather service (no forecasts that day).
High-school students across the country are also striking, closing schools and marching in favor of improving education. Among other things, they seek smaller class sizes, more teachers, and better buildings. These kinds of demonstrations are so much a part of national life that the organizers were able to negotiate special round-trip railway fares with the SNCF so that students from smaller cities like Cahors could join the big march in Toulouse, where 20,000 students participated. Incredibly, this system of organized protest actually works somewhat. The education minister, who kept his calm despite some rather coarse chants directed his way, is largely seen as a backer of the protests; this is because he apparently sees the protests as helping to overcome institutional resistance to reforms that he'd proposed last year. In the short run, in response to the protests, he's hiring 14,000 additional school personnel ASAP and is making 4 billion francs available in interest-free loans to the regional governments that take care of the schools' physical plants. The students feel that this is still not enough but they are also feeling empowered. The students, as both organizers and participants, overwhelmingly see themselves as fighting for their economic future within the perimeters of the French social order.
In between student protests, retired people had a day of mass marches across the country to protest insufficient cost-of-living increases. Five thousand customs officials demonstrated against planned layoffs resulting from the European open-borders policy. Another demonstration is took place in Lyon, where 1,500 shepherds--with 2,000 of their sheep--marched, if you will, to protest wolves in the Alps and bears in the Pyrenees. The shepherds, and presumably the sheep, too, are upset about the government's program of reintroducing mountain predators. In the entire Pyrenees, I believe that there are exactly two adult bears and two bear cubs, who all wear tracking devices. There used to be three adults but a pair of hunters shot one last year.
Such strikes and demonstrations are no doubt motivated by perceptions that things could certainly be better. In fact, an international poll of people's satisfaction with their overall quality of life found France far behind the Netherlands, Denmark, the U.S., Australia, Canada and Italy, and more like Colombia, Argentina and South Africa. The least happy in this poll, by far, were the Russians. Nevertheless, away from perceptions, another international survey found that despite--or perhaps because--of all the strikes and demonstrations, France had the world's highest standard of living, based on a set of factors like income, health, leisure time, and access to culture. And, according to a survey reported by the International Herald-Tribune, French workers are more satisfied with their jobs than the workers of any other of 13 countries studied. They are pleased with their colleagues, respect their bosses, and are least happy about their compensation. Europeans in general, though, thought that having work one truly enjoys is more important than pay. The survey found that the Japanese were the world's most unhappy workers. Americans tend to be proud of the company for which they work.
One of the good parts of my job is that I get to do the kinds of things that I dreamed about as a kid. I got a VIP tour of the Airbus factory here in Toulouse where they assemble the A-340 jumbo jet. The hull sections and flight surfaces are flown in huge, specially built planes to Toulouse, where the parts are riveted together, the systems and and interiors are installed, the engines are attached, and the finished plane is painted. At one of the jets under construction, we visited the vast unfinished passenger level, toured the cockpit, clambered around the hold, and carefully worked our way through the equipment bay underneath the cockpit. I've also been spending a fair amount of time observing flight run-throughs in A-340 simulators. While others on the team were working on some planning items, I got to fly the simulator for a while. The visuals are realistic enough that (a) you can get sick if you turn too fast and (b) it's extremely disconcerting while flying to be able to get up and walk out behind the cockpit into a world that's on the ground. I also got to appreciate first-hand how complex aircraft are and how well-trained the crews are. Finally, I had the chance to sit in as an observer during two international flights, both in Boeing 747s. The experience was inspiring. As we approached Britain at high altitude, the dawn was just beginning to break before us. The sun progressively lit up the contrail of a jet ahead of us, creating a streak glowing gray, red and then gold above the still-dark clouds. Our crew guided the plane down through the clouds, and we emerged to see Heathrow's runway shining squarely before us. One interesting fact about the 747 is that when the plane is on the ground the cockpit is 30 feet up. And, because of the angle at which the plane lands, the cockpit is some 55 feet above the ground when the main landing gear touches the runway. The result, for your inexperienced observer, is surprise that the plane has landed already when it looks like you still have a ways to go.
Given our work schedules, Lynne and I have been doing less touring lately. We have had, though, occasional glimpses of French life. Toulouse, ancient capital of the Languedoc, lies adjacent to old Gascony. Auch (pronounced "ohsh", not "ouch"), Gascony's capital, is only about 45 miles away. One Sunday we ventured into Gascony to visit the nearby town of Cadours so we could catch the annual violet garlic festival. Indeed, Cadours has an appelation controlee for violet garlic and the area turns out to be France's chief producer of garlic. Among the announced festivities was a "parcours pedestre," which turned out not be the casual walk we expected but rather a full marathon, run in teams of four. We arrived in Cadours during the race's conclusion, and we sat at a sidewalk cafe along the finish line drinking pastis as we watched the runners' final meters. As at many French events, there was non-stop commentary, information and encouragement provided by a host with a wireless microphone. The organizers provided each of the 200 finishers with an aperitif--either a pastis or a kir--and an enormous braid of garlic. Women runners also received a bouquet. So along the street, heading with family and friends for their cars, were tired and tipsy runners clutching garlic braids and flowers. Lynne and I wandered up the street to the main exhibition hall, where different kinds and presentations of garlic had received prizes. There was also garlic art, with garlic-based models of, among other things, an Airbus jet and a nearby chateau by which the marathoners had run.
We also paid a number of visits to Auch. The old part of the city, which has the warm grandeur of a hill village in Tuscany, is surmounted by an enormous cathedral and its former ecclesiastical buildings, all constructed of a soft golden limestone. A grand, complicated set of stone stairs leads down from the cathedral's heights to the Gers river far below. We were lucky enough to attend the benediction concert for the cathedral's newly restored organ. The instrument had been built in 1694. And now, three hundred years later, d'Artagnan's descendants--le tout Auch--packed the cathedral for the organ's rededication. Among the best parts was the procession of all the clergy and altarchildren. At the tail of the procession came the archbishop, quite resplendent in his miter and robes. The altarchildren, some holding candles, looked very serious up to the point where you noticed that they were all wearing athletic shoes under their white robes. The archbishop held a kind of "conversation" with the organ, in which he would ask the organ to uphold some value and the organ would respond to each request with a different piece of music. The ceremony in Auch was part of the Toulouse-les-Orgues festival of organ music, which brings an international collection of performers and listeners to Toulouse and the region each year.
One of Gascony's great glories is armagnac, the older and perhaps slightly more rustic version of cognac. Armagnac tends to be made by small, artisanal distillers who grow their own grapes, ferment the wine, and distill and age the armagnac. With some French friends who served as guides, we visited a distillery located in a chateau that used to be the summer residence of the bishops of Condom. The owner-distillers live in the chateau, looking out across the vineyards. We tasted armagnacs that had been aged six, twenty and forty years, which were progressively milder and tawnier, nearly to the point of being syrupy. We liked best, and could afford a bottle of, the twenty-year-old. Like other producers, this chateau also sold Floc de Gascogne, an aperitif combining armagnac and wine. Distillers of cognac, and to some extent armagnac, are up in arms because of steeply falling demand. The Asian financial meltdown has led to decreased consumption of luxury products, aggravated by the effects of revaluation of local currencies. As a result, there's something of a cognac glut at the moment.
Speaking of drinks, Lynne and I almost always have an aperitif before dinner these days. The two main aperitifs in Toulouse, as in Cadours and most other parts of France, are pastis and kir. Pastis, which usually comes from Marseilles, is an anisette--a descendant of absinthe without the wormwood. Lest you think otherwise, this is the sort of robust stuff drunk by dockworkers at harbor bars, by ruddy-cheeked, beret-wearing older men watching their village petanques tournament from a tree-shaded cafe terrace, and by rowdy rugby-playing students at their local watering hole. It's 90-proof, served at room temperature in a glass with an ice cube and a pitcher of water. As the water is added, the pastis turns cloudy and swirly. There are a lot of brands of pastis, each claiming to be the most authentic. A kir is more upscale, a blend of white wine and creme de cassis, a black currant liqueur; the proportions are typically 4-1 or 5-1 wine to cassis, depending on taste. Normally the wine is white burgundy (i.e., mostly chardonnay) but we were introduced to the kir with muscadet (a light dry wine from the Loire valley usually served with shellfish) in Brittany once and now it's our mainstay because the tartness of the muscadet offsets the heaviness of the creme de cassis. We also add a twist of lemon rind. Popular variations of the classic kir often use a peach or blackberry liqueur in place of the creme de cassis, and both can be wonderful. And to stave off any possibility of aperitif fatigue, we have bottles of Campari, Floc de Gascogne, Malaga (it's like port), and the regionally produced, medieval aperitif Hypocras on hand. The French often drink whiskey as an aperitif. And we see people drinking other mysterious beverages at bars--some kind of green stuff, for instance--so maybe someday I'll be able to extend the list.

One of the funniest ways sports teams pass the time between action is the Kiss Cam. The camera focuses on men and the women sharing a kiss in front of thousands of people.
Kiss Cam moments can go terribly wrong, and when they do, they evolve into viral sensations. One of the problems with randomly selecting a man and woman in the crowd is, they might not be a couple. Check out the funny footage below to see the man's awesome response when he and the woman next to him get selected to kiss in front of everyone…
When this man and the young woman sitting next to him get featured on the Minnesota Gophers Kiss Cam, he pulls a sign out of his pocket and lifts it up into the air.
Adam Martin, is a life-long Gopher hockey fan who decided to bring his sister to the hockey game against Michigan. It was a Friday night, and just happened to be Valentine's Day.
Because he knew that he was taking his sister to a game on Valentine's Day, he joked with her about making a sign in preparation for the Kiss Cam.
"The day of the game I was at work in the afternoon getting ready to leave," Martin explains, "I decided to print the sign that said 'My Sister' with an arrow, knowing I'd be in seat nine and she'd be in seat ten."
Check out the video to see the story behind the kiss cam stunt and to see the action for yourself!

By 1925 the Western State Normal School had grown significantly, totalling thirteen buildings and a stadium, and enrolling over 2200 students. The School campaigned with the State to be elevated to the status of a teachers college. The new designation was approved in 1927.
As can be seen in the plan below, the School was expanding to the west of Prospect Hill (often called Normal Hill). Campus expansion and development was proving to be a challenge for the administration. The physical planning issues included steep terrain on three sides of Normal Hill, established residential neighborhoods to the south and east, the Kalamazoo State [Psychiatric] Hospital to the south, and a railroad line and swampland further to the west. (Waldo Stadium was constructed on drained land.) There were few building options that did not involve above-average construction costs, either from building on steep slopes or wetlands, or from buying up residential properties. Apparently the stadium location was considered undesirable, for the plan shows that there were hopes of moving the stadium further up the hillside to approximately where parking lot #10 is now located, and away from the constant drainage problems.
Existing buildings that are to be removed are marked with an "X". Proposed buildings are drawn and numbered. The caption contains a description of each proposed building and a projected cost.

So here's the thing. For months I was worried that this little guy was going to arrive too early, and now, precisely one day away from his official due date, I'm worried that he may be settling in for spring with no intention of ever leaving his mom's cool and cozy rent-free womb.
I've been biting my nails on prenatal pins and needles, ready to try any and every all natural labor inducing strategy I can think of that doesn't involve doing handstands or shining a bright 2000 volt flashlight into my vajajay.
Hope your weekend is filled with all of the exciting things you've been patiently awaiting whether it be all day, week, month, or for the past three trimesters.

Saudi woman athlete makes headlines
Wojdan Shaherkani has been making headlines.
She became the subject of worldwide media attention when it was announced that she would be one of the first two Saudi female athletes to compete at the Olympics.
But this was soon overshadowed by a row over her hijab - a head covering that many Muslim women wear - that meant she was at risk of not taking part at all.
The International Judo Federation initially said Shaherkani would not be allowed to wear a headscarf during the competition due to safety concerns.
A spokesman said that in Judo athletes used strangleholds and chokeholds and that wearing a hijab could be dangerous.
But that was a deal-breaker for the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee.
The Saudi authorities had agreed to send women to the games on condition that they agreed to wear Islamic clothing, including headscarves.
The team had threatened to withdraw Shaherkani from the competition before an agreement was finally reached with the IJF that the 16-year-old would fight wearing a special headscarf in order to comply with both safety issues and the Saudi dress code.
"Working with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), a proposal was approved by all parties. The solution agreed guarantees a good balance between safety and cultural considerations," the IJF said in a statement.
Shaherkani competed on Friday in the +78kg category. She was easily defeated by a Puerto Rican fighter in a judo bout that lasted only 82 seconds.
'Western influence'
As the debate raged over whether Shaherkani should be allowed to take part, her father, Ali, insisted: "I would never put my religion or my daughter's hijab on the line, even if it meant missing out on the Olympics."
Noor al-Sajan, a 19-year-old law student living in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, said Mr Shaherkani's remarks did not stop him and his daughter being the subjects of fierce criticism at home.
"There are some who have been very resentful of the fact that she is competing and have been taking it out on her family," she said.
"They've been saying: 'Oh, he is taking his daughter to the Olympics. He's not man enough.'
"Some have also been attacking their racial background, saying: 'They are not from Saudi, they don't represent us.'
"She's 16 years old. I don't know how she's handling all of this. I think it's really hard."
Abdullah Qassem, a Saudi businessman living in Jeddah, said he personally had no problem with Saudi women participating in sports, but he feared that they could be influenced by Western culture.
"The fear is that the women would go [to the Olympics] and expose their bodies," he explained.
"Yes, this time the Saudi women are covering [their bodies], but who's to say that they won't copy the European women and start dressing like them?"
'Prostitutes of the Olympics'
Even the appearance of Shaherkani and the second Saudi female athlete in London, Sarah Attar, along with their male counterparts in the opening ceremony last Friday earned them an Arabic hashtag on the social networking website, Twitter, which translates as "prostitutes of the Olympics".
It was not long before the hashtag was trending on Twitter, but Noor al-Sajan said it was being used to the athletes' benefit.
"Activists have turned the hashtag around. They decided to use it to write positive things about the athletes since the hashtag was already viral," she said.
Ironically it worked, and hundreds of tweets were written in support of Shaherkani and Attar.
"Give Saudi women both the Olympic torch and the keys to the car," said one tweet, referring to the ban on women driving in the Gulf kingdom.
Another tweet said: "Even though Saudi allowed women to be in their Olympics team - the degrading of women lives on with this hashtag."
Despite the controversy Ms Sajan remains optimistic. Saudi Arabia, after all, is a country where women are still fighting for their right to drive and go anywhere without being chaperoned.
"I think it's a great milestone for Saudi women. The Olympics is one the biggest international sports events," she added.
"If the community here sees that it's OK for women to play sports, maybe that would make it easier for women to play professionally here."

Screenings catch students' health needs
By Jason Chuong
Oakland High's Wellness Center offered vision and hearing screenings for students that need it, and Asian Health Services provided free dental screenings for all of OUSD on Nov. 7
It's mandatory for sophomores to take a vision and hearing to test to make sure that they have no problems with their hearing and vision, according to school nurse Linh Nguyen. Some other students also took the screening.
"This screening is [also] for people that never had a screening before," said Nguyen. "It's for people that never had health care before or people that traveled here from another country."
Schools around the OUSD provide the same services.
As of Nov. 7, the Wellness Center had screened all 500 tenth-graders and Nguyen had seen and screened about 492 students in total, Nguyen said.
Sophomore Amy Li took the screening and said "I feel terrific."

Rain and rain
I have just baked cookies with the oldest girl.
It smells good.
I've met almost all the relatives of my au pair family this week. It's pretty nice. I really have to speak french because they sucks at english, and it's fun to learn BUT HARD ofcourse! But I hate when the boys are talking about me, in french really fast, and I don't understand anything! Those bastards..
Yesterday me and the two oldest boys, who are both 17, went for a walk in the rain. We become really wet. We took a walk in the river, yes that's right, in the river.
Unfortunately do they not live close to me. One of them live close to alperna and the other one outside Paris.
Soon I will paint my nails together with the girls.
After that we will go and meet the rest of their relatives, like all other days of this week.
It's weird. Tomorrow it's christmas in Sweden and about two days here in France..

Consumer fact sheet provided by Australian Bankers' Association Inc.
Types of financial abuse
Financial abuse can come in the form of Elder, Domestic, Disability and/or Language/Cultural abuse.
Elder financial abuse is a specific form of exploitation. It may also be emotional abuse.
There are many forms of elder financial abuse, but there is a common thread. In general, it is an effort by unscrupulous person/s to extract money and resources through a variety of devious means from elderly persons.
Many types of activities can be classed as elder abuse:
- deceit
- forgery
- coercion through bullying and intimidation
- undue influence for personal gain
- misuse of a person's Power of Attorney or Guardianship instructions
In general, all involve improper use of an older person's assets.
Domestic financial abuse may occur when a person uses money as a means to gain power and control over their partner.
This type of abuse is when a victim can be trapped in an abusive relationship with the person doing such things as:
- forbidding access to bank accounts
- providing an inadequate allowance
- not allowing the victim to work
- forcing the victim to sign documents or make false declarations
- denying that the victim has an entitlement to joint property.
This is not an exhaustive list.
This type of financial abuse can be subtle. A person gradually takes control over bank accounts and financial transactions. Domestic financial abuse can also be obvious, violent and threatening.
It may not be until after a relationship has ended that the customer realises that they are a victim of financial abuse.
Financial abuse of a disabled person is any act involving the misuse of the person's money or property. This is done without their full knowledge, consent or understanding.
This can be against an individual with a physical and/or mental disability. It deprives them of vital financial resources for their personal needs.
People who speak little English, including from Indigenous communities, are at an increased risk of financial abuse.
Due to the difficulties in gaining information about banking services and products, they often trust others to help. This can be a trusted family member or friend, who they use them to interpret for them.
This can lead to the person becoming a victim of financial abuse without their full understanding of the circumstances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Bank focusing on financial abuse?
The community's expectations have changed over time and it is now recognised that we all have a part to play in assisting those vulnerable members of our community.

The Bank will work with customers to gain financial independence (where possible).
This may include:
- Arranging new accounts or other banking services.
- Working with different areas of the bank on the customers behalf.
- Referring customers to external agencies and financial counsellors.

A Dermatologist's Guide to Choosing the Best Skin Care Products
By Anne Neeley, MD
A trip to the skin care aisle can be a daunting task to even the savviest consumer. The array of choices can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. Fear no more—here are some quick and easy guidelines to help whittle down your shopping list.
1. Forego Fragrance
Fragrances are added to many products to make them more appealing to consumers. But are they really necessary? No! And more important, they are not good for your skin. Fragrance is a common cause of contact dermatitis – a rash caused by either irritation or an allergic reaction. Beware of products that claim to be "unscented" as they may contain masking fragrance. Instead, look for ones labeled "fragrance free."
2. Smart Sunscreens
Reading the ingredient list on a bottle of sunscreen may remind you of your high school chemistry class. A simple rule to help you choose the best one is to keep it simple. The active ingredients that block both UVB and UVA are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These microscopic minerals reflect sun from the skin for the best "broad spectrum" protection, and also are the least likely to cause a rash. Look for an SPF 30 or higher. I say, the higher the better. I like Neutrogena, CeraVe and Elta MD.
3. Axe Acne
There are two common over-the-counter acne medications: salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. For clogged pores (whiteheads and blackheads), choose a product with salicylic acid. For tender red bumps and pimples, you're better off with one containing benzoyl peroxide. Be sure to use a moisturizer afterward, as both of these ingredients can dry out the skin. Make sure the one you choose is labeled as "non-comedogenic," meaning it won't clog your pores. I recommend Neutrogena Clear Pore cleanser, PanOxyl Creamy Wash and Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion.
4. Reverse Wrinkles
Companies spend millions trying to sell their anti-aging products to you. Which ones really deserve your cash? For maximum benefit, look for one that contains the active ingredient "retinol." Retinol is a form of vitamin A that has been shown to boost collagen production and smooth fine lines. Retinol can irritate the skin, so make sure to use sparingly and have a good moisturizer on hand. Try RoC Deep Wrinkle Night Cream.
5. Erase Eczema
For sensitive or eczema-prone skin, simple is best. Look for products with the fewest ingredients to minimize irritation and allergies. Bar soaps are gentler than their liquid counterparts. Apply soap sparingly and avoid anything labeled "anti-bacterial" as these can be too harsh. I recommend Vanicream bar or Dove for Sensitive Skin. Immediately after bathing, apply a cream (not lotion) to better seal in moisture. I like Aveeno Eczema Therapy cream.
6. Finally, Choose Cheap
Don't be fooled by department store and boutique brands. By following the guidelines noted, you can get high quality items for a fraction of the cost. In fact, the product I recommend more than any other is 100 percent pure petroleum jelly. It doesn't get much cheaper than that. Happy shopping!

Student Council Fund Raising
At the last meeting of the student council a target was set to try and raise £5000 this term for various equipment and seating requested by students to support their leisure time within school. The student council decided on the following initiatives which will run through or finish within this term. The fund raising activities are as follows:
Row to Lourdes (Sponsored by Concept 2 rowing machines)
Following the success of the Ride to Rome 2 years ago that raised over £1500 the council this year is going to Row to Lourdes. This will involve 1 team from each new house (3 teams in total) and a Staff team trying to Row the 1008 mile to Lourdes over 2 days. Each team has been asked to raise £1 per mile so hopefully this event will raise a minimum of £1008. The teams will be chosen in the first week of July so anyone interested please talk to Mr Nash, the student Council lead for this event Anica Taylor 10KF and put your name down.
Does your pet need a new pet tag?
The student council with the help of the design and technology department will be selling pet tags in various shapes. You can have your pet's information such as name and contact number on the tag. The cost of the Pet tag is £2.25 and the tag is made of weather resistant acrylic. If you would like one of these original pet tags then please drop Mr Nash an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or pop a long to see Mr Nash in room 15 or speak to Danielle Horsley (10AR) Student council Lead who will be happy to give your further details.
Donington Park Race experience
As part of the Saint John Houghton student council fund raising campaign this term we have a Donington Park race track driving simulator set up in room 6 every dinner time. If students/staff in school feel you are the next Lewis Hamilton or Giovanna Amati come on down and drive the Ford Focus RS around the circuit and see if you can lead the leader board.
The cost of entry is £2.00, this includes a test lap and a timed lap to give you the experience and chance to be the best driver in the school. The experience is open to all year groups. The best driver will receive a prize at the end of this round of fund raising activity.
All funds go towards the school council to support activity and equipment that the students have asked the student council to buy, please spend just £2.00 and give it a go.
Finally, if there are any businesses or people who know of anyone who would consider supporting the Student Council in terms of providing sponsorship, prizes for these activities or prizes that the student council could Raffle in the future. Please get in touch with Mr Nash, Student Council Lead for further information.

County to consider weapon policy for employees
Montgomery County Commissioners will discuss Monday whether county employees with a concealed handgun license can bring their weapon into county buildings or vehicles.
Commissioners meet at 9:30 a.m. Monday.
Current employee policy prohibits handguns on all Montgomery County property, and that includes those who possess a concealed handgun license, County Attorney David Walker said.
Licensed peace officers are exempt from that restriction, he said.
State law does allow governmental entities to amend the policy where employees could keep their concealed weapon in their personal vehicle while its parked on county property, Walker said.
"We're going to give commissioners options to consider," he said.
County Judge Allen B. Sadler favors allowing county employees with a concealed handgun license to bring their gun into county buildings.
"But that's just my personal opinion," he said.

Auto Repair & Diagnostics : How to Replace Windshield Wiper Blades
When replacing windshield wiper blades, it's important to initially determine if the blades are pushed on or clipped on. Replace windshield wiper blades, and be sure to get the proper size blades, with help from an auto mechanic in this free video on car repair and diagnostics.

Very clear and understandable. Excellent tip to protect the windshield. A zoom-in to show removal of wiper would be good.
thank you! that helps
Wow… thanks so much for this video!! I tried and tried forever this morning to get my new windshield wipers installed.
Wow… thanks so much for this video!! I tried and tried forever? this morning to get my new windshield wipers installed. 3
Sounds like some have done a heap of different tests on a heap of different blades in just about every type of weather condition.
While the various new blades coming to market are becoming a little more technically intelligent I personally still have a great problem with the thought of paying quite so much for this new technology at all. Even up until this day, it has been expected of us to think it's okay to simply wait until our wiper blades (very quickly) show signs of wear through smearing, juddering or squeaking and then we should simply toss them out and buy a new set. Have you noticed that no new wiper blade sets have instructions on how to make them last a lot longer? How to not stick to frosty windscreens? How to soften them if they get brittle? Are there any parts that can be recycled? Are the suppliers trying to make them last or help the ecology? Of course not. They want you to spend and spend hard. However, they now have another problem don't they?
Happily I recently came across a small tool that is able to RENOVATE the working surface of most blades by producing a fresh sharp edge where needed. If you have a look at https://www.wiper-wizard.com you will see a very efficient little tool that works wet or dry, doesn't rust, has no moving parts and can resurface in less than 60 seconds easily. Best of all, I will now be able to get about 6 times the normal life expectancy from my wiper blades before I need a new set, which to me means the current set I bought will eventually only cost me about $2.50 per expected life.

The expansion and contraction of the clay soils in the Texas area can cause problems to the foundation of buildings if a water source is left under the slab for a long period of time. When foundation work is done on a home it is possible for pipes to be pulled apart, causing a small leak. It is important to test for slab leaks before and after any changes to the foundation of a building. If you are noticing higher than usual water bills that you can't account for, it may be due to a slab leak underneath your home.
Lewisville Plumbing Services has the expertise and know-how to detect and repair leaks under the slab of your home. Under slab leak repair is a difficult process that cannot be done by many plumbers. Our decades of experience allow us to get to the core of the problem quickly and without doing any unnecessary damage to the slab. At Lewisville Plumbing we do extensive testing to make sure that the leak is properly repaired before job is finalized to make sure there are no more problems.
Many pipes are designed with an average life span of 25 years. When they begin to fail, they corrode slowly which creates leaks at the weak connecting joints, these corrosion points and small material cracks gradually progress and if not fixed early can lead to a more than minimal fix. Annual maintenance can extend the life of most pipelines can help avoid a catastrophe to your property.
Let our professional Lewisvile plumbers fix your slab leak today!

A while ago I had the pleasure of photographing Adam and Amanda in their little town. If you haven't checked out that shoot yet you are missing out! These two are so full of joy and love and it is so apparent watching them interact, laugh, tease each other...they are the cutest! Add in their two boys, Noah and Abram, and you get the world's most adorable and stylish family. I was dying listening to Noah tell me all about kindergarten and his upcoming birthday, that kid is hilarious and he knows how cute he is too! Such a pro model already. Abram melted my heart, he is the sweetest two year old I've ever met. Major thanks to this family for dealing with the cold while we shot, you guys are awesome and I had a lot of fun photographing your family!
Loooove. How sweet is this photo?!
Daddy's turn!
Giggle fest!
Noah is such a little model!

A Horizon Airlines ground worker commandeered a regional airliner Friday evening at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and later fatally crashed the aircraft following more than an hour of maneuvers over Puget Sound.
Coworkers identified the man as Richard "Beebo" Russell, 29, who had worked as a ramp agent for the airline since February 2015. He gained access to the 76-passenger Bombardier Q400 turboprop twin, registered as N449QX, from a maintenance facility at the northeast corner of the airport and departed from nearby Runway 16C at 7:32 p.m. PDT as ground controllers called to the wayward aircraft.
A controller at Seattle Tracon soon established contact with Russell and maintained communications with him throughout the approximately 75-minute flight, frequently imploring him to either attempt to land at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma or ditch the aircraft in the water. Two Oregon National Guard F-15C fighters trailed the flight.
"Think I'm gonna try to do a barrel roll, and if that goes good I'll go nose down and call it a night," Russell told ATC before performing a modified split-S maneuver, with videos posted online showing the aircraft recovering at less than 100 feet over Puget Sound. "I was kinda hoping that was gonna be it, you know?" he said after the maneuver.
The aircraft crashed into a remote forested area on Ketron Island, 25 miles south of SEA, at approximately 8:47 p.m. PDT. Authorities believe Russell was the only person onboard, and that he was killed in the crash that also sparked a brief fire.
On Saturday, National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) president Paul Rinaldi commended the controller and others in their handling of the situation, saying the ordeal demonstrated a "shared commitment to ensuring the safety of all other aircraft in the vicinity."
SeaTac operations director Mike Ehl said the airport implemented a full ground stop shortly after Russell took off, with limited arrivals continuing to clear the busy airspace. The incident delayed approximately 75 departures from SEA, with nine arrivals diverted to other airports and five flights canceled before normal operations resumed before 9 p.m.
Russell had completed a work shift before the incident, said Brad Tilden, president of Alaska Air Group, parent company of Alaska Airlines and its Horizon regional subsidiary. Crews had ferried the aircraft back from Victoria International Airport (YYJ) earlier that day due to an unspecified maintenance issue.

Alliance hosting webinar on EMV in Brazil, Mexico
The Smart Card Alliance Latin American will host a series of webinars discussing a report on EMV deployments in Brazil and Mexico.
The Alliance and Visa Inc. commissioned a report on why Mexico and Brazil are deploying EMV systems. Reducing payments fraud is the top driver for issuers and acquirers to adopt EMV/chip in Brazil and Mexico. Other important findings: respondents are also driven to adopt EMV/chip cards in order to position themselves as innovators and technology leaders, and they all expect to have 100 percent of their credit and debit card portfolios migrated to EMV/chip within one to five years.
SCALA and Visa commissioned First Annapolis Consulting to survey issuers and acquirers in Brazil and Mexico on the state of EMV migration and the long-term growth of the EMV market. The resulting report, "EMV Migration Study and Market Analysis on Mexico and Brazil," is available for purchase by both Smart Card Alliance members and non-members by visiting here.
The organizations will host English, Portuguese and Spanish language webinars on the study findings. The English language webinar will take place on December 1st at at 11:00 A.M. eastern standard time, while the Portuguese and Spanish webinars will take place on December 8 at 11:00 A.M. eastern standard time and 12:00 P.M. eastern standard time, respectively. Registration for the webinars is available here.

Abi Reimold talks faith, homeschooling, and weddings on Oh Word?! podcast
Abi Reimold makes some seriously heavy and haunting music. But during a recent guest appearance on Joe Manno's podcast, Oh Word?!, the local fuzz rock songwriter lets listeners get acquainted with their easygoing, earnest personality.
The conversation gets deep real quick as they immediately delve into topics of faith and religion while discussing Reimold's Christian, home-schooled upbringing, along with lighter topics of recent summertime gig playing hymns at a church.
We also learn about Reimold's work as a wedding photographer, which is also where we learn that they're a sap for a good love story. With Manno playing the self-addressed role of "wedding grinch," Reimold remains a ray of sincere sunshine, gushing about a love of weddings, and the happiness that surrounds the celebration.

text: When we look to accelerate change, (normal change is always happening), there comes a time when the system that we are trying to change reaches a point of tolerance that only leads to negative results. This tolerance is the variable that we are all trying to move. It is the one that we talk about when we call for risk taking. It is the one when we talk about branding and communicating with our families and community. It is the one that we are talking about when we talk about professional learning and time to grow. Tolerance in a system is the true variable that dictates short and long-term success. Inching tolerance further and further out requires building an endurance for change that includes celebrating small wins, experiencing new things and then trying them in classrooms and schools, and thinking beyond the current possibilities with a series of positive professional conversations. Systems that aren't conditioned to a point of greater tolerance for change begin to get solid. They lose agility. They lose flexibility. The new year is a new chance for deeper change, but it requires an attention to the tolerance of the system because pushing a system off the cliff isn't the solution, but neither is allowing change to happen at the natural pace and rhythm that school change has traditionally happened. Let's not accept the current tolerance of the system, but instead be intentional about moving this variable for the good of all.

REMARQUE, Erich Maria (1898-1970), German-American
novelist, born in Osnabrück, Germany, and educated at the University of Münster. He served in the German army during World War I. He set down his recollections of his war service in All Quiet on the Western
Front (1929; trans. 1929). This grimly realistic work, depicting with relentless clarity and warm compassion the suf ferings, courage, and comradeship of the common soldiers, and embodying a bitter
condemnation of militarism, became one of the most widely read novels of all time. Three film versions of the book were made. In a sequel, The Road Back (1931; trans. 1931), Remarque presented a vivid picture of
postwar Germany. An opponent of National Socialism, he left Germany in 1932 and went to the U.S. in 1939; he became a U.S. citizen in 1947. His other books includeArch of Triumph (1946;
trans. 1946), A Time to Live and a Time to Die (1954; trans. 1954), andThe Night in Lisbon (1962; trans. 1964).

Hmmm, this one sounds like the kind of contemporary I'd probably like! Thanks for the great review, Becca!ReplyDelete
I think you would girl! It was really good!Delete
I've wanted to read this since I saw the hype for it when it first came out, but I never really saw any feedback, so that's awesome to see that you liked it!

I never did either! I won a copy but it got pushed to the bottom of my pile, because I didn't see many reviews. But I'm glad I finally picked it up, because it was a fantastic read!Delete

When You Cant Escape
I woke up to the news that some people had killed a few persons of a particular community in America or Britain. No idea. What a bad news to begin the day with. But what we experienced in our locality here was something different.
A handful of people of a particular community of the area were offering prayers in open, instead of their respective religious place. It was the same community whose people had been killed.
"We should pay a close visit," I told to one of my friends. "Won't that be an interference," he suspected. But I insisted and both of us started walking where they were offering prayers.
We started walking nearby the proceedings as all was happening on the mid of the road. We were walking by the side fields. A member of the clergy community was leading the prayer. The grieved mass followed. Though not empathy, but I had sympathy for them.
Suddenly, some of the community members saw us and started shouting; stop mother-fuckers, catch them etc. "We are here just to be a part of it. We didn't have any intention to create any disturbance." I even said that I condemn whatever has happened from the core of heart, thinking that they were neighbours, after all. When they can have so much feelings for those whom they didn't even know, except the thing that they belonged to the same religious community, there must be some special space in their hearts for me and other people of our own locality, I thought. But perhaps I was wrong, at least this time. And looking at their angry faces, we decided to run. I asked my friend to turn in left and I turned right. We ran through the bushes. Meanwhile, I was saved by an inch.
I kept running and reached the place full of police personnel, barricades etc. "Hey, not this way!" One of them shouted. Knowing their inefficiency, I decided to change the route and go to some of my known youths who were known as bad elements in our society, but for me, people with revolutionary zeal. But then I remembered my press card and decided to talk to them as I thought it could work. Till then, the people chasing me were out of sight. Perhaps they had left. I went to police, running, and asked for help. "Who the hell are you?" I showed them my Press Card and an official kept that. I repeated, "I am from press." He showed me another one which had blood stains. Looking at it, I decided to run but it was late. "Not so hurry son," one of them said as they approached me. I was caught and brought to an old big house made of grass and mud in our locality.
"It is for your safety," cops said. The place was full of all the people of my age I could think of in my area, including those revolutionary ones. They greeted me warmly with smiles on their faces, though I could sense a kind of uneasiness on those faces. They were avoiding any kind of eye contacts with the cops. I avoided 'that' feeling.
All were in the house but kind of free. Police seemed to be right, perhaps for the first time. But soon I reached, we were asked to go into the rooms.
Every walls of the rooms were made of grass with the help of mud and had wide open fronts, which could only be covered by wide doors.
As we entered, police tried to close the gates on the wide open fronts. "Let's talk to the officials," I said, but others with me laughed. Perhaps they had tried it earlier.
However, a few among us came together and stood in front of the doors against the iron chains and barred the closing of the doors. Those were not just the iron chains, as I observed, but the chains of injustice, repression and state's anti people's policies. Those 'bad elements' of society tried to break those chains and and break free, shouting anti-state slogans and 'inquilab zindabad.' We didn't have any leader but everyone was his own. Some tried to hit back some of the cops which wasn't an alien thing. But I knew police was going to project them, project us, as terrorists.
Next we heard some explosions just outside or inside the house. And the next, bullets passing through the left side of the walls. In all those hullabaloo and screams, I just could feel warmness in my left ear while I saw youths in front of me collapsing like cutting trees. Lifeless. And that time, I could not even be scared for myself or remember anybody, even God, for help. Rarely anybody survived in those hundreds, but I don't know who.
After around an hour I was walking in one of the lanes in the locality. An old woman asked, "You too were inside the house son?" I did not answer and lowered my head and passed. She added, "But you just lost a minor thing." I ignored.
I took a turn. The house where Kafkasque was witnessed was in front of me. The bodies were being brought out by the people of the locality. In that melancholy weather, I just sat down by a building by the side of the road. I saw up. The sister of one of my friends was weeping on the roof of one of the buildings. "You left him to die," she accused me. Then I tried to touch my left ear. It wasn't. I saw the people bringing dead bodies on that broken road, one by one. I wasn't willing to count. I broke down.

Marc Ecko x Star Wars
This has already made the rounds on the blogs so I'm a little late to this, but Marc Ecko/Timex may be doing a Star Wars collaboration for the 2009 Holiday season. Since it's mid October, I would've imagined it would be out now. On a side note: I've been following on Timex's initiative to go high-end and I noticed on one of the posts regarding the Star Wars collaboration that Stephen Scholz was now the Global Brand Director for Timex. I remember him as the Brand Manager for Ecko watches at Callanen back in 2005 before Timex purchased the company…
All of Marc Ecko's bases are belong to Timex
Pardon the title of this entry, it's a reference to a hilarious internet meme. Anyway, Recession has been good for Timex. Marc Ecko, having incurred $170 million in debt, moved out of his $9 million office and sold his brand's wristwatch license to Timex's subsidiary, Callanen International. This move was further encouraged by Callanen's previous experience with Guess where Fossil tried to snatch the license away from them. related links Ecko puts his HQ on market

Goku's bios
Goku is the hero of DragonBall Z, the most powerful warrior on Earth and the first to become Super Saiyan in over 1000 years. When the Saiyans arrive, Goku learns the mysterious secret of his own past: He is a Saiyan formerly named Kakarot. Goku was sent to Earth as a baby to grow up and destroy the planet, but a head injury as a child scrambled Goku's programming. Instead of growing up to become a destructive super-warrior, he became innocent and pure of heart, fighting for good. Goku is peaceful, good natured, honest, loving to his family and friends, loyal, trustworthy, brave. If he has a weakness, it is his trusting nature. He always finds the "good" in people when others don't see it, though Goku's enemies sometimes take advantage of his naive trust. He originally trained under Master Roshi and wears his symbol until he trains under King Kai. Then he wears King Kai's symbol. Goku grow up and marries Chi-Chi. Together they have two sons: Gohan and Goten.
Vegeta calls goku Kakarot. Kakarot is Goku's real name from his Saiyan race.
If any of the cast members has a web site dedicated to just them, I might include a link to it here.


text: Is pretty damm impressive. I've had my new to me P85 for just under 2 weeks now, and we've been hit with a few snow falls since. The car is as sure footed as a mountain goat in snow and icy conditions despite being back wheel drive. It is pretty difficult to make the car loose control even with the traction control off. I can only imagine how much better the D cars are. The only thing I found I had to do was to put the car on low re-gen or the back end wiggles just a little while slowing down on super slippery roads on which I should be driving slower anyways. I look forward to driving the car everyday and look for any excuse to get behind the wheel.

There. I said it.
I'm one of those people who lives inside her head 24 hours of the day, my imagination never seeming to wind down. Most who know me would think I would seek out books with happy endings or endings that are neatly tied up. So not true. I like a satisfying ending.
And without giving away the ending to Jean Kwok's book Girl in Translation, I will say it was a greatly satisfying ending, caught somewhere between happy and real. Too many authors make a happy ending for their novels and I consider this taking the easy way. Girl in Translation will leave you feeling, "this is the way it was supposed to end."
We've all been new in school, new in town and filled with those particular horrors of "What if no one likes me? What if no one even talks to me? What if no one notices me?" Take all of those feelings and tightly entwine them with being new to the country and not having a firm grasp of the language. Oh yeah, and add being a teenager to the mix and you have Girl in Translation.
We follow the main character, Ah-Kim Chang (or Kim as she's known in America) as she and her mother emigrate to America with dreams and expectations of a better life, only to work 20 hour days in a sweat shop and live in an apartment filthier than in any episode of Hoarders. The mother and daughter sometimes have to sleep in shifts to keep the roaches from crawling all over them.
The novel opens with Kim and her mother's arrival in America, sponsored by Aunt Paula, an out-and-out cruel woman who owns the sweat shop. And we watch them until Kim heads off to college. My favorite part of this novel wasn't so much a particular scene or plot twist. It was watching Kim grow up, clinging to her Chinese heritage at first, strangled by it as a teenager straddling both worlds, and then finding the balance between being and becoming.
To me, the message of the novel wasn't that these immigrants were strangers in a strange land but that they were humans in a new world and struggling-like the rest of us-to find their own way. And it was completely satisfying.

Name: Mel Rivas
Class and Level: Mercanary Level 4
Weapon Level(s): Sword: E
His hair is a dirty blond, mostlikey due to the amount of time he spends in the dirt tracking whatever he may be looking for. His blue eyes are an uncommon trait, mainly becouse his parent had brown. His tattoo on his right arm is something of pride for him. He aquired it to cover up a nasty wound he recived after slautering a group of bandits near Melior, but didn't bother to cover up the scar on his chin. His green coat is something of his fathers that he couldn't get rid off, despite the person he was.
Normally a nice guy, but show him an injustice, and he'll snap. He'll do the right thing even if it means breaking the law and risking imprisonment. Very kind to women and childern, he has no respect for whores, but is more than willing to help out thier childern if need be. He belives that one should not suffer for anothers choises. Kind and gentel to all, exectp evil and wicked is his main way to live life. He enjoys the company of Laguz, mainly becouse they show him how much stronger he could become.
Mel grew up in Melior as a "hunter". He hunted rats, and other household pests for people to earn money for him and his mother. At age 13, he learned why his father left. He was a bandit. And evil man who raped his mother. From that day, Mel vowed to never see any other woman treated like his own mother. When he turned 17, his mother died from something even the best clerics in Crimea couldn't idinitfiy. So, he took on bodyguard jobs to support him self. Thats when he recived the scars on his right arm and chin. His employer had sent him with his daughter to deleiver her to the Daien border, but along the way, 7 bandits ambused them. Mel was able to fend them off, but recived the nasty wound on his right arm and chin. He coverd up the arm scar with an Laguz style tattoo, to "make him stronger". For the past 4 years, he's only done odd jobs around Crimea. Now in possesion of a letter addressed to a family in Galia, he is on his way, during the middle of winter, to deliver it, in which he was payed a handsome some to deliver, along with a specail sword.
(What ever is happening in the RP I'm in)
Shadow of the Forest : Rank: Prf (+2)
Iron (+0), Echo (+2)
Mel obtained this blade after he "liberated" it from his fathers chest. Along with the green coat, this is the only other thing of his father's that he would never give up. Its blade is an odd dark green steel, and seems to allow him to get an extra strike before the foe knows what hit him. It aslo seems to fit his hand just right.
Iron Sword: Rank: E(+0)
Iron (+0)
Just a common Iron Sword. Mel never travels without a backup weapon.
Note: You don't get to choose your level; the mod gives you that based on what they feel the profile deserves.

week 18: this week i'm gonna... strengthen the mother/daughter bond
Cindy Walton and her daughter, Verona, have a very close relationship. Last year, Cindy came across an advertisement for a Moms as Mentors seminar in an alumni newsletter for Simmons College. She thought it would be a great opportunity to spend some quality time with her 7-year-old daughter - and she was right!
At the seminar, mother and daughter enjoyed learning about business principles and money management, created a poster which categorized common "needs" vs. "wants", and even developed a business plan together for Verona's "Dancing Donuts" concept - a shop that serves donuts with ice cream on top (yes, please!). Verona was so engaged in the business plan that she continued to work on it that evening once they returned home. Now, almost 18 months later, Verona still talks to her mom about her business plan and has not given up on her dream to one day open a Dancing Donuts to satisfy the "people who live in [her] town who have a sweet tooth."
When Cindy reflects on this day spent with her daughter, she fondly remembers their collaboration and teamwork. She has also seen the dramatic impact it made on Verona, both in terms of the valuable experience and knowledge she gained, and also the sense of empowerment Verona felt when learning about other successful women and their businesses.
The mission of Moms as Mentors is to provide moms with the tools and opportunities they need to become impactful mentors in their daughters' daily lives, ultimately helping today's girls to grow into a generation of confident and capable women.
Since 2007, Moms as Mentors has run team-building workshops focused on confidence and leadership for mothers and daughters (ages 7-14). Their workshops incorporate hands-on activities in content areas like STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), business, and other fields where women remain underrepresented in areas of key leadership. Their STEM workshops are designed to promote important skills like tinkering, trouble-shooting and communication. Their business programs incorporate concepts such as money values, envisioning oneself as an entrepreneur, and confidence-building body language ("power poses").
In addition to strengthening the critical connection between moms and daughters, Moms as Mentors programs bring together girls and women of different backgrounds to create a rich and supportive community for its participants. Moms and girls come from racially and economically diverse backgrounds and mothers are both working and stay-at-home. For the moms especially, these meaningful connections can be invaluable sources of support, both for parenting and other personal and professional matters.
Please see the video below to learn more about Moms as Mentors.
Cindy and Verona so enjoyed their first Moms as Mentors workshop that they attended their second one late last year. At this STEM-focused meeting, they created a rollercoaster and a ping-pong ball shooter. Verona proudly shared her shooter the following week with her 3rd-grade class, and Cindy has noticed a difference in her confidence and presentation skills. Cindy and Verona are hoping to attend the upcoming 2016 Mother's Day workshop where they will take part in more enjoyable, interactive activities and games that promote mom-daughter bonding, teamwork, and communication.
Notes for this week:
- Sunday, May 8th is Mother's Day - don't forget to call your mom!
- Our collective givetwig donation will sponsor two mom/daughter pairs to attend a future Moms as Mentors workshop.
- For further information regarding Moms as Mentors or to inquire about attending any of their upcoming workshops in the Boston area, please check out their website.
this week i'm gonna donate to Moms as Mentors.
