'tis been busy these days while the funeral's been on.
i've had more than enough sleep of course, but pulled the graveyard shift every night from thursday till saturday. playing cards with my cousin, her husband, uncle david, stan and mother till 6 a.m. before the rest wokeup to take over, man. pimple overload heh. i finally found my saiyuki #1 at a comic shop nearby tho.. finally!
be it burning the incense paper (supposed duty of the grandchildren) or moving things,
chunky gerald always found some way to shirk the work. bloody talented at chaokeng.
the burning of the incense paper's not as easy as you think it is..;p not with only three grandchildren. it's supposed to be burning constantly, and we're not allowed to dump like 10,000 sheets at a single go. therefore.. one sheet at a time, keep the fire nice and happy all the time. add the taoist chant (battery operated player) repeating itself approx every 20 secs.. for 3 days. do the maths urself. wah man.. can drive u nuts.
one dumb blip that occurred during the funeral, heheh. i wasn't supposed to wear my ring/earring, so i took 'em out and only wore my earring during zz time :X didn't have time to buy earsticks, and was quite afraid the hole'll close on me. so in the end, it was me trying to poke my earring back into where it belonged while behaving like a half-resurrected zombie in the early morning. so one of these mornings, yours truly actually pierced *another* hole above my original hole with the earring.. and didn't even realise it until the following morning duh. and i was still wondering howcome the pus/blood was flowing out that night -.- man.
on the other hand, i realised that the dumb stuff i've been doing at work all these months has a positive effect after all; i do saikang much much much faster now.. lol. i was like the saikang i/c there ;p assign me a task and i'll divvy it up among my fellow victims (a.k.a stan, gerald and noelle's hubby steve.)
the entire affair's been quite an eye-opener anyway; all the rituals, chanting, praying blahblah. not that i'm a devout taoist, but well.. suffice it to say that i would be incurring the inciepient disapproval + wrath of the entire family had i tried to refuse participation. so.. shrug. better to just go thru the motions of everything, regardless of whether i truly believed in reincarnation of my grandad's soul or not.
one thing that i'm quite certain about now.. heh. when it's my turn.. i'd quite prefer to disappear without any kinds of ceremony at all. no siree, kindly send me to the morgue and keep me there until it's time to cremate me 😉 after that scatter my ashes in a place i like, and i'll be quite content. saves time, hassle, money for everyone. i'm not firmly rooted in any religion anyway, no point doing all these stuff if even the deceased doesn't even believe lol.
my uncles and cousins displayed their emotions more openly, of all the family members present. it was quite understandable that all the wives would be less affected; it wasn't their father after all. me being me, merely gritted my teeth and struggled to hold my tears back. i certainly wasn't gonna break down and weep along with the rest. i realised that the intense atmosphere was quite infectious. the sight of uncle david bawling his heart out when grandad's coffin was pushed into the incinerator was.. extremely heart wrenching to say the least.
i suppose my perspective has gotten more pragmatic; life still goes on despite the absence of grandad to accompany us now. i should be happier that he's finally released from the pain that he'd to endure, ever since the entire stomach tumor thing started. no amount of mourning'll revive him after all, so i guess the best thing to do is to hold him in my heart and remember him for the love and concern he showed me since my birth.
one thing i should remember to do is to print a photo of grandpa that i took a year ago for my cousin and uncle. shrug, it looks better than the b/w passport photo that we carry in our wallets at least.
hais, looking forward to another pay cut this month. didn't work for three days, wonder howmuch i'll be getting. already broke from spending extra $ during the funeral, saving's down to $200 now bleah.
not to mention it's 11+ p.m. now and there goes my weekend.. work tomorrow again yay. sibei song.
watched my one and only planned tv proggie for this year: channel u's darren+evelyn's wedding video footage 😉 it might be overimagination on my part, but i can almost feel the happiness that they share simply by looking at their expressions.
å¹¸ç¦ man.. the both of 'em 😉
been collecting alot of newspaper/mag articles on their wedding heh, think i'm too boliao. i mean, whatever for man. but ah well.. it's a way to burn my time.

Top players of the international architectural and design community, from as far away as Mexico and India, gathered at the Thompson Hotel last night as AZURE revealed the winners of its second annual AZ Awards.
These awards are one of a kind: the only international, multi-disciplinary design competition in Canada. Representing a global snapshot of the world of architecture and design, submissions were open to designers, architects, firms and manufacturers of all disciplines, as well as students in these fields.
The prestigious international jury included architect Imola Bérczi of UNStudio (Amsterdam), designer Jeffrey Bernett of Consultants for Design Strategy (New York), interior designer Elaine Cecconi of Cecconi Simone (Toronto), landscape designer Jennifer Guthrie of Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (Seattle), architect Brigitte Shim of Shim-Sutcliffe Architects (Toronto) and Mike Keilhauer of Keilhauer (Toronto). In March, the expert panel conferred at Toronto's Hôtel Le Germain, narrowing the field from an impressive 621 entries to a shortlist of 60 finalists. From there, they selected the 13 outstanding winners.
"The overall calibre of entries to the AZ Awards was especially high this year," says Nelda Rodger, editor of AZURE, "resulting in more finalists whose work met our jury's criteria for excellence. With submissions coming from 30 countries, this competition is recognizing the best architecture and design from around the world."
During the month of April, the public was also given the chance to vote online for their favourites as the People's Choice.
About AZURE: AZURE is Canada's leading contemporary design magazine and one of a handful of influential design titles worldwide. The independent magazine enjoys a growing subscriber base and can be found on newsstands across Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia.

Still, having now seen the test footage from the since-abandoned Marvin the Martian movie I can say that I'm glad they decided to ditch the project. Why? Er. Take a look.
Oh dear. THAT KID! Oh my gawd, that kid must never be allowed to act ever again. Harsh? Maybe. But yeesh, amiright? Yeah, I'm right. Plus I continue to be irked by CGI animation/live action hybrids. I mean, it worked for Who's Afraid of Roger Rabbit and Space Jam because they were literally cartoons taken out of their world, but most of the time it looks unusual. The inevitable 3D conversion would only accentuate this oddness. But, hey, maybe that's just me.
The film was supposedly to feature the voice of Mike Myers as Marvin, which is odd since why bother hiring somebody like him if he is just going to have to put on the character's original voice. "Here's ten million dollars to impersonate a voice!" Marvin, in the feature, was to set out in an attempt to destroy Christmas, with Christopher Lee as Santa Claus trying to stop him. Sounds like it could be fun, but the video doesn't fill me with the greatest of confidence. I personally always preferred when Marvin was in space, since it was such a radical change to the usual Looney Tune landscape.
Still, the film is no longer being made and this is all we have to commemorate it with. Maybe the next time there's a Looney Tunes revival they will resurrect the project, or another one all together?

Some offenders will have their alcohol levels monitored by ankle tags in a new move that City Hall hopes will eventually help combat crime in our pissed-up city.
Boris Johnson today announced a pilot scheme in Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Sutton, that gives courts the option to sentence offenders to an 'alcohol abstinence monitoring requirement'. That means an ankle tag, which monitors the amount of alcohol released in perspiration, and must be worn 24 hours a day. If the wearer drinks, their probation officer will be alerted. The police and City Hall expect around 150 people to be fitted with tags during the year-long pilot, such as repeated drink drivers or people who commit assault/ABH after getting tanked on a night out. People dependent on alcohol won't be tagged.
The Mayor has been lobbying government for this new sentencing power and this is a 'proof of concept' pilot. It will test whether courts actually use the new power, whether offenders comply and if the monitoring functions properly. Nobody should draw any other conclusions from the pilot, though ultimately it's hoped the system could help reduce the costs of booze-related crime (nationally, between £8bn-£13bn a year) and hospital admission — up to 40% of London's A&E admissions on weekends involve the demon drink.

Sterling & Knight Jewelry & Pawn
Bolingbrook: 295 S. Schmidt (630) 759-9100
Hinsdale: 244 E. Ogden Ave (630) 321-5600
Sterling & Knight Jewelry & Pawn is a pawn shop serving Darien as a family business offering loans, appraisals, and purchases of jewelry or anything of value. We have locations in nearby Bolingbrook as well as Hinsdale and are happy to provide our services to Darien. At our store, you can sell or get a loan on gold, silver, and diamond jewelry and much more, including rare coins, objects of art, electronics, musical instruments and scrap gold. Whether you're looking to sell jewelry near Darien or a reliable local pawn shop near me, Sterling & Knight is here to assist you.
The first people to settle here came from New England via the Erie Canal and Great Lakes. Among the first to arrive was the Thomas Andrus family. They settled along an old stagecoach line in 1835. Andrus served as Justice of the Peace, Town Clerk, Assessor, and County Commissioner. He also established the Andrus Inn, near what is currently the intersection of Lemont Road and I-55; the inn served the 15 stage coaches that traveled the stagecoach line, and included a tavern and a post office. Andrus named the area "Cass."
Andrus and Father Beggs built the First Cass Church, which was a log cabin design. The church's cemetery, located west of where the church stood (west of Baily Road and north of Frontage Road), can still be seen today. The church was also used as a school house.
Elisha and Eliza Smart settled here in 1838 with their 10 children. Elisha got gold fever and left for California, returning seven years later as a very rich man. He bought more land and the Smart family donated the land on which a new Cass Church was built in 1870.
John and Hannah Oldfield came to Cass in 1850. Mr. Oldfield raised cattle and increased his land holdings to 2,000 acres (8.1 km2).
Franklin Blanchard opened his cheese factory in 1881 — the location of the cheese factory being where McDonalds is today.
Martin Madden was an Irish immigrant who arrived at the Cass area during the late 19th century. He became a member of the Chicago City Council and later was elected to the House of Representatives and served in the United States Congress. In 1903, Mr. Madden built a home to look like the White House in Washington D.C. he called it Castle Eden. Today Castle Eden is part of the Aylesford Retreat Center of the Carmelite Fathers.
A group of German Lutherans from Europe came to the area near 67th and Clarendon Hills Road in 1859. They built the first St. John Lutheran Church and laid out the cemetery behind the church. Today the cemetery is still located at 67th and Clarendon Hills Road. In 1899, a new church was built on the northeast corner of Cass and 75th Street. The Church was located where the Taco Bell and Buona Beef Restaurant now stand. In 1969, the second church was torn down and the present St. John's Lutheran Church was built west of Cass and north of 75th Street.
A school was built on the northwest corner of Cass and 75th street in 1860. It was the first Lace School. It is now a museum which is open on the first Sunday of each month from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
By 1890, the Village of Lace was established. The important location at that time was the triangle bordered by Cass Avenue, Plainfield Road and 75th Street. It was called "The Point". The Point included the Town Hall, General Store, Blacksmith Shop and the office of Dr. Roe. A Post Office had been established at The Point in 1884.
The future city of Darien was originally part of the Lace and Cass communities. Residents of the Marion Hills, Brookhaven, Farmingdale and Hinsbrook subdivisions wanted to incorporate as a single city; this finally happened in 1969. When the incorporation committee reached an impasse on an acceptable name for the new city, acting mayor Sam Kelly suggested the name "Darien". He had visited Darien, Connecticut, and found it to be a very pleasant and attractive community.
The town motto is "A nice place to live" which happens to be the same town motto as Hill Valley from the Back to the Future movies.
Today the City of Darien is a thriving community bordered by Burr Ridge, Woodridge, Westmont and Willowbrook.

How much would you risk to maintain your integrity? John Paul McKinney's novel, Charlie's Angle, explores concepts of integrity and commitment within the boundaries of a clever, original, character-driven story. I don't want to oversell the theme, because this isn't an afternoon television show with a lesson attached. McKinney's novel is good adult drama.
Charlie Brannigan is a principal in a small-town Wisconsin high school. He faces two challenges that inform each other. His wife suffers from a serious illness, so Charlie needs his job. And, Catherine Newsome, a prominent member of the school board, has asked for the resignation of one of Charlie's teachers. Catherine's son Tommy flunked math. Tommy is a star athlete, and the failing grade has consequences. The stakes escalate when Charlie discovers that the stars of the team engaged in hazing ceremony.
Integrity is easy when the cost is small. And the Newsome family has clout. McKinney's tale inserts the essence of power ypolitics into the nuts and bolts of his plot. Couple this with a deep understanding of human behavior and the attending motivations, and you have a drama worth reading. McKinney is a fine author, and this is a wonderful novel.
The story's setting is important. If you grew up in a small town, you'll recognize Waumeka. Between Charlie and his town, a kind heart runs through the spine of this tale, which helps balance the disturbing and realistic political machinations that occur. Charlie is a good guy—a principal with principles—and you find yourself rooting for him. (Five stars out of five)
Note: I just learned that Charlie's Angel took third place for literary fiction in the CIPA Awards (Colorado Independent Publishers Association). Kudos to Mr. McKinney!

Yes, you read that correctly. REAL… freshly baked, New York bagels are finally here! Some of you might ask yourself why I would even care with all the incredibly delicious French pastries everywhere. France has some of the best food/bread/pastries in the world, and when I first moved here I couldn't get enough of those French goodies. After a while, my taste buds wanted something from back home… bagels. Take it from experience, no pain au chocolate or croissant will do when you have your heart set on a warm bagel that is crispy on the outside & has that perfectly textured inside.
The craving can at times become so strong that you start running around, trying just about everything and anything resembling a bagel in hopes that you might find something that comes close to satisfying your desire. It's not one of my proudest moments, but I even began to think about taking a trip back home just to get a good bagel fix… that is, until I saw the airfare prices. That would have been one very expensive bagel… right?!
There are those of you who might be asking, aren't bagels already in France? Yes, it's true. You can even find so-called bagels in local French supermarkets. To those people, the totally addicted bagel lover like myself might say, you poor thing, you have never tasted the REAL thing. A hard or mushy piece of bland bread that has no real texture and a hole in the middle does not constitute a real bagel.
After searching high and low, and waiting way too many years, freshly baked New York bagels of many flavors have arrived in Paris. Gone are the days when I will have to witness shops in France pull bagels out of the freezer in supermarket packaging, shivering in horror as they pop them into the microwave, charging me a fortune.
Today, there are a few shops that are trying to make more of an effort in baking fresh bagels locally, but those that I have tasted, lacked the true authenticity of what I considered a real bagel. Some say it's the water that makes them so good, others say it's the special process… whatever it is, locating a place that makes a bagel just right has gotten easier in France… Bruegger's has arrived!
Bruegger's began more than thirty years ago in New York, and have over 300 bakeries in 26 states today. I love that they use the same time-honored methods of New York bagel bakeries by using flour, water, yeast, salt and malt. In 2011, they joined the GROUPE LE DUFF and in 2013 they began to bring their bagels to France. After a successful, start in Rennes, France, Bruegger's is now in Paris, at the foot of the Montparnasse Tower. They are hoping to have around 40 bakeries across France in the next 5 years. *Yes, I just did a little happy dance.
I was filled with nervous expectations and hope when I walked into the bagel shop for the first time. Wide-eyed, I tried to soak it all in. Bruegger's Paris has a New York loft style, with an industrial feel to it… so far so good!
Immediately, I noticed all of the, oh so familiar, products from back home… Each time, I bring my Parisian-borne little ones there, their American side seems to take over as they are they are instantly drawn to the Epicerie. "Mommy, they have Fluff!"
I couldn't have been happier when I read the Baked fresh… all day long sign. YES… They really seem to get the whole idea of what bagels are about! There's nothing like eating freshly baked bagels at any time of the day.
Bruegger's ships their dough over to France, and bakes their bagels in the exact same fashion as Bruegger's in New York and across the United States. These bagels are truly the best I have ever had in Paris. Even though, they are a little far in distance from my district, I just can't seem to get enough of them. But hey, I can't complain because it's much closer and cheaper than buying that airline ticket.
After being greeted with warm friendly smiles, we chose the bagel bread, sandwich style, along with a side of chips or homemade coleslaw. I'm so glad that they told us about their house specialty ice-tea, made fresh each day. It has become a definite must with each visit.
Bruegger's has many of the typical sandwiches that you would find back home, in addition to some new ones. At first, I was reluctant to taste what they called the Classic New Yorker Burger… in all of my years in New York, I never saw or even thought about throwing a burger inside a bagel. That said, I just had to try it. What a great surprise… it turned out to be one of my favorites. Go figure, a New York bagel with a French-American twist… nice touch!
During our latest visit, we discovered that Cinnamon Raisin bagels are now on the menu (Yay!), and whole wheat bagels will be added in the month of May. They've also added a brunch bagel served all day long. Memories of my egg bagel sandwich & coffee rituals before work or after a late night out are flooding in. This was one of my all-time favorites from back home, and I can't wait to give it a try.
Ok, now for one of my other passions… REAL coffee. I always make room for a coffee, espresso, tea or one of their specialty drinks. There is a trained Barista on the premises who grinds the beans and makes your coffee upon command. What a nice surprise. In addition, their freshly baked muffins are to die for!
I don't know about you… but no visit is complete, unless I can bring home a bag of 6 bagels. I've got the entire family addicted to bagels now. This makes the New Yorker in me smile. So, Mom… please send over my bagel slicer for my REAL bagels… I FINALLY need it!

The one-day training event season is off and running with the first class completed today in Augusta – a PROFIBUS in the Process Industry class. Over 60 attendees were there for the kick off.* Next week it's PROFINET in Kansas City (3/15). It's not too late to register. In fact register by Thursday and you'll be eligible for the early bird raffle. Then towards the end of the month it's PROFIBUS in Grand Rapids (3/27). Mike A was in Augusta and I'll be in Kansas City. I'm looking forward to getting back on the road again. Talking to users. Sharing the excitement about PROFINET. I hope to see you on the road in KC or another PROFINET city.
*I use the phrase 'kick off" reluctantly because it's a football word in a baseball time of year – Cactus League games are underway here in Arizona under blue skies in 70 to 80 degree temperatures.

Dr. Poirier discusses how social interactions teach both social skills and language.
When dealing with children with autism, you hear a lot about "Theory of Mind" (ToM). While this may sound like an abstract, philosophical concept, it has a specific meaning in the field of psychology. ToM is your ability to put yourself in another's shoes: to understand that they have feelings, interests, and beliefs just like you. If you have ToM, you can empathize with their mental states and act according to this understanding.
Ultimately, ToM consists of:
- What you think in terms of social knowledge.
- How you think, or your way of communicating with yourself and others.
- For most of us, ToM is an innate ability. But some people with autism develop almost no ToM.
A classic test for ToM involves two dolls playing with a marble. One of the dolls puts it in a box, and then the second doll leaves the room. Next, the first doll takes the marble out of the box and puts it in another box. When the second doll comes back and asks for the marble, the observing child is asked which box the second doll should look in.
If the child answers that she should look in the first box, because that's where the marble was when the second doll left, then the child passes the test—because she realizes the doll has a perspective different from her own. If the child answers that the doll should look in the second box, this means the child thinks everyone shares her perspective, even when that would be impossible. She lacks ToM.
ToM, Social Development, and Language
ToM development depends mostly on the level and kinds of social interactions a child engages in. Some people mistakenly think that poor social knowledge or communication skills are caused by a lack of ToM, but the truth is completely the opposite: the lack of ToM is the result of these impairments. Strong language skills and a solid social understanding are both necessary for a ToM appropriate to one's mental age. And with the right training, it's possible to acquire ToM even if you don't start with it.
The realization that ToM works this way goes hand-in-hand with the social cognition learning model. According to this model, culture makes the important contribution of teaching children knowledge and language: what and how to think. This was first studied by developmental psychologist Lev Vygotsky, who observed that developing children are most heavily influenced by the cultures they live in.
Compelling research from comparative studies of deaf children, blind children, and autistic children emphasize the social process of ToM development. Deaf and blind children from hearing and seeing households experience serious delays in ToM development. When a deaf child receives information in sign language from hearing parents, that language is unnatural and non-native. Similarly, although children who are blind from birth have the mental capacity to understand visual scenarios, they can't because they lack the vision necessary for the comparison. Their parents have trouble providing imaginative communication using "pretend" scenarios.
Even normal children who have little social interaction with their siblings and parents show delayed development in their ToM. Children from large families have better ToM, because of more and more varied social interactions. Taken together, this research shows us that social interactions teach both social skills and language in children, and thus promote the development of ToM.

Plymouth Royal Navy / Royal Marines Swimming Club
Welcome to our Club Home Page. Here we hope to entice and advise you on swimming for service personnel and their families in the Plymouth area.
Our club's main aim is to teach the children of service men and women, and MOD employees in the Plymouth area, how to swim. Starting in the calendar year in which a child is 4, we follow the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) "National Plan" and the "Frosties" Award Scheme.
For the more advanced swimmers aged 8 and above (there is no upper age limit in swimming!), we train for and enter assorted city, county and forces' galas.
The club is staffed entirely by unpaid, ASA qualified volunteers, who also serve on the club, city, county and regional ASA boards. This drastically reduces the club's running costs and therefore membership costs.
We now have a membership of almost 300 spread across both HMS Drake and Raleigh pools and our children have really made a name for themselves due to their good behaviour, enjoyment and the enthusiasm they show when competing. This is a compliment not only to "the Management" but in particular to Chris Fairey and his wife Dee, who have been the backbone of the club since its inception in 1989.
Unfortunately we have lost some of our best young swimmers to the better known local clubs but it is with great pride that we can look on as these youngsters reach National Standards.

Toronto: One If By Subway, Two If By Snowy Sidewalks/
I usually take ten minutes to walk that kilometer, but that night, it took longer. There were few vehicles on the road, but the subways were running and were actually more crowded than usual. Finally at the Old Mill, I changed into my party gear, unstuck my frozen eyelashes, fixed my smeared make-up and left my bag in the cloakroom. When I walked into the party room, people seemed to wonder why I was late—most of them had decided, early on, to take public transport. Yes, public transport. And why not?
When I first moved to Toronto, I settled with my three grown-up children in an apartment close to a subway stop, telling them that soon I'd buy a car and a small house. It's been ten years, the kids have since moved out, but I have done neither. I take the sidewalks and the subway, for Toronto is pedestrian-friendly and the public transport system is very efficient. In Manila, I felt crippled without a car, but here, where parking is expensive and traffic can be a nightmare, who needs a car? I rent one to go on a road trip and borrow my son's for shopping. Or else, I get groceries online.
Six years ago, I was ready to stop renting. Instead of buying a house in the suburbs, I picked a condo unit away from downtown but close to the subway. Within a two-kilometer radius—and,therefore, very walkable--are churches, my hairdresser, dentist, doctor, dance school, a post office, drugstore, library, grocer, fresh produce stores, restaurants. My workplace is one subway ride away. I used to live next to High Park, Toronto's version of Central Park, and would jog there most mornings. On weekends, I'd jog all the way to Lake Ontario's shore pretending I was on a real beach. I now live five subway stops away from this haven, but I can still be there quickly for its cherry blossoms in spring, its lush woods and calming pond in summer, its blazing colours in fall, and the fairyland that it becomes in winter.
Yes, there's the weather. Today, it's minus-4°C, feeling like minus eight, and it's only the first week of November. But it's sunny so I'm glad. The past two weeks, with gloomy skies and temperatures hovering around freezing, it was nasty–chilling rain, wet snow, or wind that could speed up or slow down your walk the way a headwind or tailwind affects an airplane's flying time.
Soon the snowstorms will come and the subways will be packed with folks who'll find it easier to hop on a train than dig their cars out of the snow and drive the slick roads. I'll be thankful once more that I don't own a car. I once had to drive through a sudden snow white-out and it was frightening, because my twenty years of Manila driving hadn't prepared me for snow, much less ice. Experts say that when your car fishtails on ice, you should let go of the gas but not step on the brakes and steer in the direction of the fishtail. How can I expect to remember all that? Besides, if you ask any trucker about icy roads, he'll likely say, "Be very afraid."
So I'm happy to take the snowy sidewalks anytime, although, of course, they can also be icy. One day, I fell because I didn't realize that under the thin layer of snow on the sidewalk was a sheet of ice. Thank God I only sprained a wrist.
The trick is to check the weather forecast before leaving home so you know how to dress. It's not fun to have to wear a heavy coat on top of a sweater on top of one or two other layers of clothing. And to have to drag your snow boots on a sidewalk that hasn't been cleared of snow. But what to do? I remind myself why I moved here, listen to Disco Inferno on my mp3 and rehearse hustle steps in my mind, careful not to dance them lest I slip again and break a bone this time.
- With its population of 2.6 million, Toronto is Canada's largest city, and the Greater Toronto Area's 5.6 million makes it Canada's biggest metropolitan area. It's 16 percent of the total Canadian population of 33.5 million.
- Of the 468,000 Filipinos in Canada, about 185,000 are in the Greater Toronto Area. In the city of Toronto itself, the biggest concentration of Filipinos are in Scarborough, North York, East York and Etobicoke. In the suburbs, the cities of Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughn, Pickering, Ajax Richmond Hill and Oakville are popular places to settle.
- Canada's welcoming immigration policies in the past decades have transformed its metropolitan areas into interesting cultural mosaics. Toronto is known as one of the world's most multicultural cities. Almost half of its population are visible minorities, most of whom are South Asians, followed by Chinese and blacks. Filipinos come fourth. As a result, although the two official languages are English and French, most of the population are bilingual in English and a language other than French. In the 2011 Canadian census, Tagalog turned out to be the fastest-growing language in Canada.
- Canada is predominantly Catholic. Good Friday is a statutory holiday. You have a choice of sending your child to a Catholic public school or a French-immersion one, or even a combination of both, for free. Toronto has three major universities: the University of Toronto, York University and Ryerson University.
- After being a legal resident of Ontario for three months, you become entitled to a wide range of free health services. You can then walk in and out of a doctor's office and go for diagnostics without paying a cent. If you don't have private health insurance to supplement this, expect to pay for outpatient prescription drugs, dental and eye care. Emergency care and most in-hospital services, including surgery, chemotherapy and dialysis, are covered.
- In spite of the common lake-effect snow squalls, Toronto's winters are mild by Canadian standards. Even if it's almost always below freezing in the winter, Toronto gets an average of two or three hours of sunshine per day. In the summer, the average temperature is 25°C although it can go as high as 37°C, and the sun shines for about eight to nine hours a day. In the Northern provinces, winters can last for five to ten months and temperatures can go as low as minus 50 or even minus 60°C. Although I cannot imagine myself moving to Yellowknife or Nunavut, some Filipinos do, given the liberal tax breaks that are available to skilled and professional workers.
- Tourist must-sees in the city: CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum, Casa Loma, Toronto Zoo, Art Gallery of Ontario; and ninety minutes away, the magnificent Niagara Falls. There's also a chain of small islands in Lake Ontario called Toronto Islands. It is a part of the City of Toronto and is accessible only by public ferry. A popular recreation destination and home to a residential community and an airport, it's the largest car-free community in North America.
- Toronto is a paradise for the performing arts–ballet, opera, symphony orchestra, and theater. Most plays you see on Broadway you can also see in Toronto. You can find just about any kind of cuisine here, too. And there are street festivals in each season, from the Caribbean carnival-style Caribana, the all-night contemporary arts Nuit Blanche, the summer Jazz Festival, the winter Cavalcade of Lights, to the long-running Pride Parade, (The province of Ontario, where Toronto belongs, legalized same-sex marriage in 2003. Since 2005, same-sex marriage has been legal in all of Canada.) And then, of course, there's hockey, which any true-blue Canadian is expected to be crazy about.
- If you're new to Ontario, as soon as possible, obtain a social insurance number (SIN) card, and although you will have to wait for three months for free medical benefits, apply for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). For more information and service center locations, go to http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/sc/sin/ and http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/ohip/

For the last 2 weeks we have been doing Brown Bear, Brown Bear activities and having fun with Teddy Bears.
The children brought in their favorite Teddy Bear to spend a couple weeks at school with them! I love how this little sweetie did not bring a bear but instead brought his monkey! Hey....he is an AMAZING MONKEY so why not?
We made bears (to work on our cutting skills and then we patterned little di-cut bears on their ties. Then we wrote about what two colors we used.
We had a Teddy Bear picnic with treats brought by our parents.
We had Honey Combs, Honey Nut Cheerios, Honey Graham Teddy Grahams, Gummy Bears, and juice boxes.
It was super fun! We watched the Teddy Bear Picnic Youtube, and the Gummy Bear song!!
We made our "bear bags". Last year I called them "purses" and the boys did not like that much so this year they are bags!
Inside our bags were our Brown Bear Brown Bear sequencing strips so we could retell our parents the story!
We measured our teddy bears using this Exploring My Bear sheet I stole off of some cute blog! Probably Julie Lee!
This is my favorite Baylor Bear!
All of our math workstations for the past 2 weeks have been Julie Lee's Brown Bear centers and
a Brown Bear unit I bought from KinderKids! They both are fabulous!
Match the number to the correct Brown Bear animal and record.
This a pic of our work jobs. I am using the format from Kim Adsit where we follow along all year!
They start with me telling them a number and they had to put on that many fruit loops.
The actual mats and counters change with our theme but the concept and number they are working on
stays the same until they master it. I started last year and it was AWESOME!
They roll the shape cube and trace the shape.
They roll the die and trace the number.
They read the ten frame and record.
They pull out a brown bear card and color a square above the correct animal the correct color until
one column reaches the top!
I had an idea to feature one section of our daily schedule in pictures and tell you in depth how we do our day in K. If I can figure out how to host a linky party I will do that too! We will see!
Have a great weekend! The weather is awesome today in Texas! To celebrate the season of Fall all of our TPT product prices have FALLEN 20 % ! For this weekend only! Go grab our
APPLE SMARTboard file or our OCTOBER calendar file while they are on sale!!
Peace & Love,

Here's a curious move you can benefit from: Developer Recluse Industries has offered up its latest title Survelliant [Free] , a 3D stealth game that has you avoiding CCTV cameras, for free on launch day. The game is a reinvention of Geoff Crammond's eerie and unique 1986 classic The Sentinel. For the next 24 hours you can download the game at no cost, risking little more than hard drive space, which can be reclaimed quite easily if you're not a fan.
But, hey, you might like it. The game is getting decent traction on our forums and the developer is indeed active in the thread. A couple of people have pointed out that the controls aren't the greatest thing since 35 calorie bread, but Recluse seems very open to the idea of re-tuning and tweaking in an effort to please. My suggestion is just to try it yourself and keep the game around because, dude, it's free.

More than 50 indigenous trees at Nature Centre
- Details
- Category: Nature
- Last Updated on Sunday, 05 October 2014 23:00
- Written by Pugu Hills
- Hits: 24965
For hope and good news we are in the process of determination of more than 50 indigenous tree species on the premises of Pugu Hills Nature Centre, in order to create awareness about the incredible richness of the Tanzanian biodiversity. With only six hectares of regenerating forest (Pugu Hills Nature Center) where once maize and coconut were planted on the outskirt of an uncontrolled metropolis (Dar es Salaam) we want to prove more tree diversity than the whole of the Netherlands (the homeland of the owners).
Although we did not yet secure the required botanical expertise support (any contribution and correction is welcome) we still hope to prove our case by pictures and here and there a more scientific foundation for the different indigenous tree species found at Pugu Hills. We also include those which where planted by the centre as long as they are indigenous for the Pugu area.
Our target is to add at least one tree species per week.
|Pod Mahogany
|Afzelia quanzensis - The oldest tree on the property and remnant of the Pugu Forest which once stretched up to the airport. You will find it halfway the 1K Nature Trail. With the onset of the rains when all vegetation looks devastating dry, the pod mahogany will be exploding with young green leaves and I wonder where it stores all energy required for such a surprising growth.
|Tall sterculia
|Sterculia appendiculata - The story of my favorite "tree" is a long one, with endless trips from Moshi to Dar until we managed to find a germinating seed. It started in the nursery as expected from such a tall tree. Planted at Pugu (2004) it almost stopped growing either struggling with termites or long spells of drought. Surprisingly it is quite common in Mtwara along the coast. Perhaps Pugu is not hot enough? Whatever the cause of the struggling Sterculia it is clear that reforestation and enrichment of the Pugu Forest is not an easy task.
|Peacock flower
|Albizia gummifera - The most successful tree at Pugu HIlls Nature Centre is one of the prides when its pink - red flowers cover the canopy. It grows up to 30m is said to be fire resistant and it has the nice square leaves with a diagonal vein.
|Zanthoxylum chalybeum - The tree which can reach 12m is hard to miss with its distinct large woody knobs and sharp thorn. It is laimed to be over-exploited for its medecinal properties and durable timber
|Natal Wild Pear
|Dombeya cymosa - Very common shrub or small tree at Pugu, flowering with the first rains and attracting butterflies and larvea. In absence of swahili name a bantu name (Swasiland) of (u)Mwuwane could do. The tree was at the Mocambique IUCN red list at some stage.
|Wild Custard Apple
|Annona Senegalensis - The wild custard is not a forest tree and needs lot of sun. Fruits edible you can try one after the rains
|Black Plum
|Vitex Doniana - In the valley several black plums grow along the nature trail. The favorite fruit is actively distributed by the birds and monkeys
|Sausage tree
|Kigelia Africana - Harassed by the donkey some sausage trees did survive. The sausage is protecting roofs being taken by the storm in Malawi. The flower is beautiful but smelly
Garcinia Livinstonei - African mongostein is a wide spread plant that can be found in tropical areas of Africa, From the Ivory Coast to South Africa. This evergreen tree bears small thin skinned, bright orange berries that grow to about 2-3 cm in diameter. The fruit tastes pleasantly sweet but has an acidic after taste, and has one large seed at the centre of the fruit. The fruit is mostly consumed fresh but can be used to flavor wines and liqueurs. The fresh berries are infamous for their hated staining power.
|Rock elm
|Milicia excelsa - The pride of Pugu Hills Nature Centre and emerging from an immense root chunk which survived the sporadic attempts to change the hill slopes in agriculture land. Mvule (Swahili) is one of the first species disappearing from the forest reserves being in great demand hardwood. Perhaps we should not even publish its existence on the website
|Long pod cassia
|Cassia abbreviata subsp. abbreviata - A small tree with beautiful yellow blossom. At the pool one long pod acts as a shade for the concrete beds.
|Birdseye Bush
|Ochna mossambicensis - Like the previous small tree, the birdseye bush has bright yellow blossom with large bright green leaves. It is easy recognised blooming after the rains at the small bridge going to the camp hill.
|Sickle bush "Mvunja shoka"
|Dichrostagus cinerea - The shrub or tree growing all over Africa, has the swahili name "ax-breaker" due to its hardness. It is typical for disturbed land and its gradual disappearence at Pugu Hills is a positive sign indicating the return of a more biodiverse habitat.
|Golden bean tree
|Markhamia obtusifolia - This unpretending tree which can be eaten alive by termites and look like dead firewood will recover and show its lovely yellow blossom. Eventually developing in long golden velvety pods. There is one just after you drive up the property immediately after the corner on the left. In a survey of both mature and regenerating trees and shrubs in Ruvu South Reserve a local name of Mpugu pugu is listed for the golden bean.
|African blackwood
|Dalbergia melanoxylon - The well known Mpingo tree in Swahili is used for makonde carvings and a very hardy and successful tree. At the pool a big Mpingo is providing shade for the concrete bed.
|Common Star-chestnut
|Sterculia rogersii - This African chestnut can survive hot lowland. It has a beautiful colored bark with red gray and brown. The chestnut planted at Pugu along the "old road" is the size of the plant on the image and some years from developing an arty color on its stem.
|Powder puff tree
|Barringtonia racemosa - One of the first victims of disturbed habitat and loss of perennial streams is the swamp tree "Powder puff tree" named after its flowers. We have secured a specie at the nature pool where it has its feet in the water.
|Bridelia micrantha - The bridelia is popular for its small fruit and frequently visited by birds. It is tolerating a swampy environment. Along the 1K nature trail it can be found before reaching the 600M. signpost. You can see a mature tree at the downstream side of the pit (left). The pit was dug by the previous users of the land for collecting runoff water. It may have made the difference for the Bridelia to outgrow its competitors. The young branches grow in a typical zigzag fashion.
|Coldbark Ochna
|Ochna arborea - This forest tree with dark shiny leaves has beautiful yellow flowers and is claimed to have a "cold bark". After the bloooming it is easy to recognise with its typical black drupes (with seeds inside) surrounded by red sepals like flowers. One of the species growths at the camp hill and will be announced as soon as we have tested the cold bark (the stem is a bit small still for testing).
|Sycomore Fig
|Ficus sycomorus - One of the many ficus species. Not as common as the strangler ficus which is all over Dar es Salaam or the Ficus elastica decora very common in European households with it big leaves. An old forest survivor is on the left when arriving at the forested border of the Centre (on the neighbour's property). Several have been planted along the 1KM nature trail by an IST student on her birthday. The tree even has a placemark on Google Earth
|Uvaria kirkii
|Uvaria kirkii - The sweet scenting flower of this small tree or shrub is all over the Centre blooming immidiately after a major storm. A real tree has yet to developed and it will need to be seen if the Uvaria kirkii qualifies as an indigenous "tree"
|Tassel Berry
|Antidesma venosum - The Tassel Berry is a small swamp tree and found directly under the pond of the bamboo along the Nature Trail. It was cut by villagers 20 years ago and obviously growing very slow. More species are in the same valley downstream.
|Large-leaved Falsethorn
|Albizia versicolor - Several of these stout trees are found in the area. The biggest outside the Centre and hopefully surviving the buidling boom. The pods are poisonous for sheep and cattle who will show nervous behaviour after being intoxicated. The roots produce an alternative for soap in case the economic crisis persists.
|Uvaria acuminata (No English name)
|Uvaria acuminata - An aromatic shrub, liane or small tree.

I was feeling guilty that I hadn't updated this blog since I received my first round of chemo...I got online to tell everyone was Friday was like & saw that I did update Friday night! I don't really remember doing that but the blog is good & I can't find anything I would change so I'll let you know about the days since.
I received chemo on Friday & didn't notice anything irregular. I was tired but attributed that to working the night before & took a normal nap when we got home. Saturday was ok. My energy was starting to fall but I didn't really notice anything else. I did go out & do some stuff with the kids but I think everyone noticed I was running in a lower gear. Sunday was rough. I did manage to make it to church & to lunch, but I fell asleep while we were waiting for our table at the restaurant. I woke up to eat some dinner which I couldn't really taste & then went back to sleep. Monday I was feeling about like I did on Saturday - just run down. I did work on Monday night & while I didn't like it, it wasn't unbearable. Tuesday I slept most of the day but when I woke up that afternoon I felt ok & today (Wednesday) I have really felt pretty normal.
Side effects - the biggest two I was warned about were nausea/vomiting and fatigue. I didn't have any nausea. I have been very tired & very thirsty. I constantly have a glass of water with me. I did notice some differences in how food tastes Sat - Mon. Things were just very bland but I didn't want to eat anyway. I also have had some heartburn, a pretty consistent mild headache, and have felt pretty "foggy" at times - like I can't remember exactly what I want to say or get the right word out. I've heard all of this is normal so I'm anxious to see if anything new appears when I got back for round 2 next Friday.
I got the call on Monday that my genetic test results are in & I did test positive for the BRCA2 genetic mutation. This mutation means that I'm much more likely to develop breast cancer in the other breast later, as well as carrying a higher likelihood of developing ovarian cancer so the surgeon is recommending a bilateral mastectomy (removal of both breasts) as well as removing my ovaries. This is the same reason Angelina Jolie had her mastectomy so you might have heard of the BRCA gene. This has been a lot of take in but it doesn't change anything regarding my current treatment & I will continue doing what I'm doing. Surgery was always something that would probably happen in January, now it's just a bigger surgery than what was originally planned.
Tomorrow I have my bone scan & Friday I'll meet with my oncologist again & see how my labs are running. Thanks again for all the thoughts & prayers, cards, and for the two families from church that brought us dinner on Sunday & Monday night. It's such a blessing to know that those areas are being taken care of, even when I don't feel up to it.

Q: This HDBaseT Balun supports CEC, what is CEC?
A: This product features CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allowing your HDTV's remote to manage up to ten devices that are connected via HDMI (such as Blu-ray Disc players or home theater receivers) with no special programming needed. For example, you can use your remote to turn on your TV, your player, and your receiver at the same time, and adjust the system volume with one button. All devices must support CEC, though. Most major TV manufacturers now support CEC, and an HDTV with HDMI 1.3 will likely have the technology. Manufacturers call it by different names; LG Electronics, for instance, calls its implementation SimpleLink, whereas Toshiba calls its version CE-Link. Interoperability isn't mandatory, so some manufacturers limit control to their own products; Sony, for one, allows only Sony-to-Sony communication.
Q: Will the Remote IR work with all remote controls?
A: The IR repeater works well with single band remotes but may not work with multi-band remotes used on many satellite boxes. Look for 2 emitters on the nose of the remote. If you are pre-wiring make sure to run a 3rd cat5 cable so you can add an IR system that can handle multi-band remotes. If you have multi-band remotes you might want to upgrade your remotes to UHF, which goes through walls. This will bypass the IR system completely on the device.

- Book: Geometric Optics (Tatum)
- This "book" is not intended to be a vast, definitive treatment of everything that is known about geometric optics. It covers, rather, the geometric optics of first-year students, whom it will either help or confuse yet further, though I hope the former. The part of geometric optics that often causes the most difficulty, particularly in getting the right answer for homework or examination problems, is the vexing matter of sign conventions in lens and mirror calculations.
- Book: Physical Optics (Tatum)
- Physical optics, or wave optics, is the branch of optics that studies interference, diffraction, polarization, and other phenomena for which the ray approximation of geometric optics is not valid.

This is the perfect summer read. On the beach, in the garden, by the pool... There is no better time than summer to get stuck into this book.
Infinite Sky is an insightful book about a girl named Iris Dancy who lives in the countryside, with a semi-alcoholic father and an older brother who went off the rails after their mother left without a warning or a proper reason. The story is centred around travellers and the idea of being your own person, so when a family of travellers illegally set up camp in Iris' family farm, this is where the real trouble starts. Iris is keen to get to know the boy of the travelling family, Trick, and doing so sparks a friendship that could just save her from being completely alone in the World.
Of course, both her father and older brother, Sam, disapprove of the family camping out in their field. Against both of their wishes, Iris befriends Trick and starts to actually enjoy her summer... Even after she falls out with her best friend Matty, whose mother is unbearable and plays the "I'm so sorry your mother ran away" card every time she goes over to Matty's house. But nothing is ever simple, and the grudge the rest of the Dancy family have against travellers makes a tragic ending for the story. I'm not going to spoil anything, so no spoilers will be used in this review.
In my opinion, this was everything I was hoping the story would be and more. It was extremely insightful into the world of travellers and the way they are stereotyped, which is a large issue that arises in the book. CJ Flood included many hard hitting subject matters and dealt with them in an appropriate way, whilst still managing to make the reader empathise with Iris and anyone else who was having a hard time.
The book made me giggle in places, but mostly I felt terribly sorry for the innocent travellers who were wrongly accused for all sorts of things and had to battle with the stereotyping commonly seen in real life. The love story that formed between Iris and Trick was very subtle and did not ruin the tone of the book nor the importance of the friendship for this book, and I commend Flood on the success of this factor.
I think what I loved about this book the most was that the characters all had their own minds. Each character was perfectly drawn up and I could understand their personal stories and feelings, which is a rare thing in an individual book. That just made it all the more special! I couldn't put the book down and I practically devoured it. It was a powerful book that left me satisfied after I had finished.
I would recommend this book to pretty much everyone. I think it is suitable for most adults who want to experience a fresh concept and a different perspective of life. There were many beautiful quotes that I took out of this book and I will carry them with me for a long time. This is why I gave the book 5/5 stars.
Get it on your 'to read' list now!

You can order it from NightPeople.
Description from NP site: Very siked to get a chance to release something by our western Mass. friends Sore Eros, a great live band thats even better on record and always pushing the limits of their sound and song writing. A band truly doing their own thing in a time of much retro posturing. The articulation of their sound and approach is always interesting because it embodies so many sources of potential influence and sound language. At times folky, sometimes rocking, always seeping with dreamy atmosphere and warm psychedelic melody their representation of pop music radiates, resonates, and sparkles like big sun on syrupy water. This cassette is very well recorded and even professionally mastered. One of the finest NP releases thus far.

It is roughly in order from core pieces to UI. * Make a new 'update' back end function to update the tree. * Make dir-status back end function update the vc-status buffer asynchronously. This means using a process filter. * Don't clear vc-status buffer when updating. This means figuring out how to insert new items into the ewoc at the right point. * Figure out what to do about 'conflict' -- seems like it should be a state, but none of VC seems prepared for that. There was some discussion about this. * Add more bindings. At least 'commit' and 'update' are needed. In general, copy stuff from pcl-cvs or psvn. We also need a menu and maybe a toolbar. * Implement dir-status and update functions for all back ends. * A few rough edges... allow multiple vc-status buffers. Decide general approach to running the sub-process (what buffer to use, etc; there was some traffic about this). Decide how to allow interrupting the process. Update the vc-status buffer when a modification is made to a buffer visiting one of the listed files. * Whatever else that pcl-cvs does that is cool that vc-status should have. FWIW I am hardly working on this. I send a patch as the mood strikes. So, don't worry too much about duplicating effort :). Dan, I think, is leading it. I probably forgot something. Tom

Only 14 days until Christmas! We still haven't put up our christmas tree though... hopefully this weekend I can run to the store and buy one of those tiny trees! I ordered some lights online and they should be arriving later this week. Before we moved to the east coast from Portland, we sold all of our christmas decorations! Maybe after christmas when everything is on sale, I will buy everything and be prepared next year! I hope you are all getting in the holiday spirit and sharing the love! — Minna

COLLEGE PARK, Md., May 14 (UPI) -- Better planning and focusing on patient needs could reduce hospital readmission rates, U.S. researchers suggest.
Bruce Golden, a professor at the University of Maryland, doctoral student David Anderson and colleagues tracked patient movement at a large, academic U.S. medical center for occupancy rates, day of the week, staffing levels and surgical volume.
Their study, published in the journal Health Care Management Science, found that patients discharged when the hospital was busiest were 50 percent more likely to return for treatment within three days.
Surgeons and hospitals are incentive-driven to perform as many surgical procedures as feasible, Golden said.
"Too often, the biggest problem is that hospitals just don't plan ahead, and this is what gets them in trouble," Golden said in a statement. "There are logistical alternatives to sending a patient home too soon."
Golden suggested surgeons use checklists before discharging the patient.
"They know better than we do what questions should be asked -- questions that would force the surgeon to think about whether they were discharging the patient for the right reason," Golden said.

In a provocative and unbelievably realistic new undertaking, Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas has created an almost life-size beached whale. Placed in a forest, clearly out of place, this is an extremely emotive piece.
Purposefully misplaced but oddly true-to-life, the artificial whale is a standout piece and truly one-of-a-kind. Viewers of the abandoned and helpless whale can't help but feel a sense of sorrow and discomfort for the creature. The statue seems to seek to make audiences feel as though they are helpless in their attempts to fix the apparent situation. The piece remains throughout the year, and photos from the winter are the most powerful. To see snow on a whale is even more staggeringly bizarre and intensifies the feeling of displacement.
Striking, realistic and colossal in size, Adrián Villar Rojas is an artist with a strong message. Clearly not an artist to be ignored, the art world will anxiously await his next piece.
