Giant Steps is an absolutely marvelous school! Teachers are sweet to the children, but will be firm when needed . Students come out as great learned ready for the big campus of elementary school! The teachers are sweet and take time to talk to the parents! The little thing children get in trouble for will soon turn to big situations if children aren't addressed appropriately! That's why the teachers address it to the kiddos and the parents so they can learn from it! I don't get why there are bad reviews. I use to be a student here and everything was fabulous! I am going to send my kids to this school for sure! ~An old student
I'm the parent who posted a review on sept 24 2013 and meant to put a 5 star. My daughters been there for almost 4 years and I couldn't be any happier with the attention my daughter and son recive!
worst school possible because of the teacher turnover and the children dont even get acknolwledged by the staff
This school has the worst staff and director that do not know how to treat children i found one of the teachers pulling on my son hand almost draging him to the floor. They don't pay attention to them.Teachers here tend to complaint about the smallest issues. i think they forget that parent pay for them to take care of their children. Some of their punishments to the children is unethical. They don't give the parents any credit for educating the child. In addition they are very negative when it comes to child and parent raising them.PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS CENTER
I do not recommend anyone to take their children to this school.They sit the students in time-out for an extensive amount of time. i was constantly getting called in the directors office for lame excuses that my child wasn't listening he's 3 yr what do they expect. this place was like BABY BOOT CAMP. we had a horrible experiece.:0( :0( the worst staff and director. the teachers just want easy $$$$ they do not put any attention to the kids.
I do not recommend anyone to take their children to this school. This school has the worst staff and director that do not know how to treat children. They don't pay attention to them. Last week I was observing them for half an hour and all the staff did was stand around and talk to each other and was expecting the children to behave while they had their conversation. I also obseved them during supper time and they were serving them water instead of juice or milk. This is a horrible school to take your children to.
I do NOT recommend you bring your child to this school. There are only 2 good teacher's at that school , the rest of them are just there for nothing , my child always gets a green card , YET they complain " oh he was doing bad but once I put him/her in time out he/she behaved very well ". I was in the observation room the other time and all I saw was a child who didnt do anything that bad , was pulled by the arm and sat in a chair . Whats wrong with that is , the teacher USED FORCE on the child , the children there are very nice & loyal . I JUST DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD !

I am an educator and I needed to write this review. I do not work for Giant Steps. This is a great school. They are doing everything right instructionally. The phonological foundation they are creating is developmentally appropriate and is necessary for future reading skills. My child loves this school, he races in each day. I have dropped by at different times and observed unannounced from the observation rooms they have in every classroom. My child behaves each day and gets a green card, however, I have heard them correct his behavior and that of others on the play ground they are firm, and fair. I have reccommended this school to all of my friends for theri preschoolers. They provide an excellent environment. They are affordable and that is just a bonus, I would pay twice the fee if I had to to keep my child at this school. Thank you Giant Steps.
I normally don't post reviews but I just had to. Our Family has had a wonderful school experience at Giant Steps. I would like to thank the director and staff for taking care of our children, teaching them so much and helping them become strong and caring individuals. ... Director JIM is a very good person. He showed many children discipline including my 4 year old thats getting ready for Kindergarten. School staff are all very concerned about childrens well-being and safety.Academics are excellent and staff is attentive and very helpful to children.The teachers teach more than a curriculum at this school. Very clean and they show you step by step on what they do for the children. I am very happy with this school and will be enrolling my 1 year old as soon as he turns 2! GREAT!!
Giant Steps is a great child care center / school. My daugher has been attending GS for the last two years and has acquired so much knowledge as a pre-schoolers. There are also privacy rooms to observe the teachers and kids interact. GS steps is not afraid to move your child forward into the next class level. GS is very cleanand serves three hot meals. The teachers also make time to update the parent on how there child is performing.
Giant Steps may look cozy and warm from the outside but looks aren't always what they seem> Don't be fooled by the nurturing dameaner. its all an act> They sit the students in time-out for an extensive amount of time. i was constantly getting calls @ work, for lame excuses that my child wasn't listening> he's 3 what do they expect. this place was like baby boot camp. we had a horrible experiece.
My dauther loves this school and has attended for over 3yrs now; the staff is wonderful & my dauther has learned and grown so much...I wish she could stay longer but i know she has been given all the right tools to move forward and grow! we love giant steps & all the staff
My son has been attending Giant Steps for almost a year now. Since he was not used to interacting with so many other children and being put into a class like setting, transition for him was not easy at first. ALL of the staff members were incredible at communicating with me and helping my son adjust to his new everyday environment. I first chose GS because they were one of the cheaper schools AND provided meals, but I came to find that they surpassed all the other schools I had ever looked into. They have a friendly, clean, fun, educational and loving environment. I am SO pleased and priveleged to have my son attend this school.
I love this school. My daughter has grown and learned so much. And they really care about the students.
This school is wonderful! The staff is great, and my son looks forward to going to school everyday. My son has learned so much, and his social skills have improved. He has really come out of his shell. I cannot wait until my youngest is old enough to attend Giant Steps. Good Job Giant Steps!
This school seems to tolerate kids fighting. My daughter was getting punched in the face by another boy everyday and she finally stopped wanting to go to school. The teachers never told me this was going on. When confronting them they gave me the run around.
This school is amazing! Both of my children have attended GS and one will be graduating soon!

I've got a date with a hottie tonight. I get so out of breath and start to sweat whenever I see him. his name is gym. ;)
so, I'm a practicing catholic. lent is coming up on wednesday so I'm ready to make some pretty drastic (but good!) changes.
if you don't know what lent is, it's a representation of Jesus's 40 days in the desert, where he was tempted several times by the devil but didn't give in. it's a testament to an unwavering faith in God.
so, for 40 days, catholics try to pick something to give up as a way of reliving that faith that Jesus had. catholics generally give up meat on fridays, (except for fish), alond with something else of their choosing. so, what am I giving up you ask? drumroll please… alcohol!
say whaaaat?! haha. if you know me, I love me some wine or mega margaritas for happy hour! I just turned 21 in november, so I've been really excited about the fact I can drink, and I've been going out almost every weekend to do so. but I think I'm going to use this as a time to take a break, because with drinking alcohol comes the consequences… lots of calories. and drunk eating. haha. hopefully this will bring me once step closer to being more healthy, because I'm hoping that stopping for 40 days will cause me to limit myself after the 40 days is over (easter).
anyone want to join me with giving up alcohol for 40 days? or something else! you don't have to be catholic to join me, it could just be a challenge for you! what are you giving up for lent?
I made some bomb ass sesame-garlic stirfry tonight. so many colors!
makes 4 servings.
here's what you'll need:
2 chicken thighs, seared then baked on 400 for 25~ minutes
1 cup chopped carrots
1.5 cups zucchini
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 cup broccoli
2 tsp olive oil
4 cups water
4 tbsp sesame garlic sauce (found with the chinese food)
to cook:
sear your chicken, then put it in the oven. cut up when it's cooked.
bring water to a boil in a pot. add broccoli in, cook for 5 minutes (should not be fully soft!)
in a large saucepan on medium-high heat, add your olive oil, and then the zucchini. when it starts to get soft, add the carrots. when the carrots are soft, add the broccoli and peppers. cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, then add the chicken.
add the sesame sauce last, and stir.
I paired it with brown rice and lentils, and it tasted great! enjoy :)

7 Reasons for Classical Catholic Education
Not long ago, I was having a chat with a fellow Catholic blogger who discovered that I am a theology teacher at a college prep school. He asked whether I was interested in opening a classical school, and while I would love to teach the classics, I had to answer no. I was neither trained in the classics myself, nor have I studied in-depth the methods used to pass them on.
I wish that I had received a classical education. Unfortunately, it wasn't until high school that I learned a bit of Latin and had my intellect opened to an entire world of the classics. When I was awarded an Oxford Classical Dictionary my senior year, it was one of my proudest moments. I went on to study Latin and Greek in college, along with a few other classical courses (even one semester of ancient warfare) and emerged a stronger thinker than I had ever been. If only I had had more time to study the classics while a boy!
My wife and I have a strong desire to give our own children a classical education. In considering this, I've distilled the following points as my main arguments in its favor:
- Freedom – Classical education has strong ties with the liberal arts, which are called that not because most liberal arts professors are liberal, but because the liberal arts make a man free (Latin, liber). A man who has and uses an education in the liberal arts always has a free mind and soul, even though he be chained in a prison cell (this may come in handy some day).
- Leadership – Let's acknowledge one basic fact: Congress is the world's third largest zoo. We desperately need leadership to bring structure and order to this chaos. Classical education starts with the trivium of liberal arts, including grammar, logic, and rhetoric. By starting children off on the process of thinking philosophically at a young age and by teaching them how to express their thoughts articulately, classical education is training leaders for tomorrow.
- It's popular with the Traddies – The current liturgical trendiness of the timeless and beautiful Latin Liturgy is not just a fad. Unlike folk music and guitar Mass, it's here to stay. I even hear the pope is a fan. Check out what these classically educated youngin's think of the Latin Mass.
- Your son will already have completed the hardest part of seminary – Canon 249 of the Code of Canon Law states that any "program of priestly formation is to provide that students not only are carefully taught their native language but also understand Latin well."
- Complete Thoughts – If you haven't picked up a literature textbook lately, try it out. You might be shocked to find that few complete ideas are fleshed out. Somewhere between the government and the editorial boards of publishing companies, magical textbook elves remove the meaningful, thought-provoking content and replace it with out-of-context snippets designed to impress upon students a wide range of equally disconnected viewpoints. Is it any wonder we have private parks in several major cities occupied by people who see no inconsistency in blogging about socialism on a Macbook? They have a Frankensteined philosophical worldview. Give your kids the gift of integrity of mind.
- Virtue – I once had an interview with a school whose principal began asking me on the phone about my views on sexual morality. I made it clear, of course, that I believed the faith of the Church. Shockingly, he then opposed me by proclaiming that his school was "in the Dominican tradition of the virtue of tolerance." At that point, it was clear that I would not get the job. I suppose I could have asked, out of curiosity, which religious order Tomás de Torquemada belonged to, but I wasn't in a playful mood. Charity is a virtue; tolerance is not. The virtues of Christianity are familiar to classical educators and are included in their curriculum, while the so-called modern virtues (in reality, niceties) are dealt with as all the foolishness they are.
- Patrimony – We didn't spend all those centuries Christianizing Western Civilization just to flush it all down the toilet of modernism! In the age of convenience and constant distraction, we've lost the perspective of the many centuries of wisdom our Church has gained. It's part of our heritage and we have a right to it!
There you have it. Classical educators out there, am I missing anything?
15 Comments
I agree with most of this, but, frankly, I find number three a little bit on the offensive side. It's arrogant, snobbish, and reactionary. Traditional Latin chant is great, but there IS a place for contemporary music in liturgy and prayer meetings. To reject modern music simply because it's modern is the inverse error of many who reject old ways because they're old. It's rejecting it based on age, not on merit.
I know you, Micah, have gone to at least one Steubenville Youth Conference, if not more. I met you there. There are lots of people who owe the fact that they're faithful Catholics to "folk music and guitar Mass." I'm one of them.
Yes, you forgot the role of beauty!
Classical education as the pursuit of wisdom — found in the Good, the True, and the Beautiful — consists in the formation of the human person much more than in the imparting of information. Along with a few practical reasons for classical education, you mentioned as hallmarks of such an education: the acquisition of virtuous habits and of a common cultural patrimony (the Good) and the ability to think and know reality (the True), but you have forgotten beauty's part.
Students who receive a classical education are exposed to, become familiar with, and cultivate their ability to recognize and choose that which is beautiful. Beautiful language, music and art often demand more from a person to be appreciated; beauty's delights come with sacrifice. The order of creation which is the form of beauty requires that we set aside our own "disorder" to be transformed by beauty.
So it is that personal virtue brings us to encounter Truth and Beauty and Goodness, recognize them and acknowledge their value, and choose them — often at the cost of personal sacrifice…and we find ourselves face to face with God.
The fruits of folk music and guitar music during Mass? … first there's the clapping for the performance afterwards, the lack of reverence during the most sacred thing on the planet, people chattering before and after, a complete lack of ability to stay focused on what the Mass is… at my parish the fruit of this contemporary "music" is a gentleman singing the Psalms in an Elvis impression (this is not an exaggeration, but he insists that it is his right). We have a banjo at one Mass, and a horn of some kind at another. During Mass we are re-presented before Christ on the cross… do you see, in any way, that that is a suitable time to play folk music? "Father forgive them, they know not what they do." I'm not some pre-Vatican traddy, just a 30 year old Mom trying to learn to love the Mass without a rock show distracting my children.
Thank you for your article. As firm believers in classical Catholic education, my husband and I are involved in a small classical Catholic school in Silverton, OR, called St. John Bosco High School. http://www.johnboscohigh.com. My husband is a teacher there, and we desire our children to attend one day. We believe these kinds of schools are the hope for the future, as they are some of the few beacons of light in our educational system where virtue is being taught with truth.
@ Steve C:
"Traditional Latin chant is great, but there IS a place for contemporary music in liturgy and prayer meetings. To reject modern music simply because it's modern is the inverse error of many who reject old ways because they're old. It's rejecting it based on age, not on merit."
Gregorian Chant is more than great. It is the prescribed music of Holy Mother Church. There is no other, unless it is apt or can be rendered apt. If you can show me how contemporary music is not frivolous or how it is in keeping with Tra le Sollecitudini, I would be ready and willing to accept it.
Modern music isn't rejected because it is modern, but rather because it is profane. It does not speak to the sacredness of the Mass, but rather it speaks to the inclusion of the people. That is never to be the aim of the faithful's participation at Holy Mass.
Modern music simply isn't apt for use in the liturgy. Prayer meetings and other para-liturigcal activities, fine. Holy Mass. No. The Mass is a sung prayer. It has music which is proper to it. To use music which is not proper for that end, is not apt, objectively speaking.
Hymnody is not a Catholic ideal in the Mass. It simply isn't. Hymnody is a Protestant form of participation. The Mass has it's parts sung, properly. The Introit, the gradual, the alleluia/tract, the offertory, the communion. These are the sung propers of the Mass. The sung ordinaries are the kyrie, the gloria, the credo, the sanctus/benedictus, and the agnus dei. The abandonment of that in favor of hymnody is a travesty on the scale of Protesantism itself. We have then-Father Bugnini and his Consilium to thank for that DIRECTLY.
When we look at the Mass, the expression of the TLM is as valid and acceptable as the Novus Ordo. I would argue even moreso, precisely because it has the weight of 2000 years of development on it's side, whereas the Novus Ordo is banal, on the spot, and fabricated. But that speaks more toward licitness than validity.
Bottom line. If it is not apt or cannot be rendered apt, by common estimation (which is not a subjective analysis, btw) then it cannot be used. Modern music is simply banal and on the spot. Much like the Novus Ordo.
I've lived with "contemporary" music during Mass since 1966. It has never lifted my heart and soul to God as the Traditional hymns and Chants of the Ancient Church has. Although much of the contemporary music in Catholic churches is nice and some of it is beautiful, it is not appropriate for Mass. Remember: Mass is the unbloody Sacrifice of the Cross. Clapping our hands and swaying to and fro would not be appropriate 2012 years ago on Calvary nor is it appropriate at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass now.
I attended Sunday Mass not too long ago at a Church that was done up like a theatre–a round theatre with the Sanctuary down in the middle. Believe me when I tell you, it was more like a Broadway play than it was the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The priest was the star, not our Eucharistic Lord. Although the music was nice and the priest had a beautiful voice, it was totally out of place for the Mass.
Thanks for this article. We started homeschooling the youngest five of our eight children three years ago in a classical curriculum (Mother of Divine Grace). In a comparison (and, yes, I know all children are different), our homeschooled children have better skills in expressing themselves and seeing the truth in a situation. They seem to be able to think for themselves better than our traditionally schooled older children at the same age. I believe the method of home schooling offers some explanations but clearly, the classical curriculum which engenders a good deal of reading, discussion and writing in all subjects is the real key.
Fine, fine, but did any of you vote in your last school board election?
Diocesan-certified to teach Religion, I revamped the school's Religion (and Math) program for 7th and 8th grades to include a familiarity with Latin, Catholic History, projects such as creating newspaper articles on past Church councils, altar server training, and basic discussions on St. Thomas Aquinas (Quinque Viae) and St. Augustine (Confessions). I also required my 8th grade students to read a novel that deals with our Faith (The Keys of the Kingdom). What I desired for all my students was for them to be able to defend their Faith and inculcate what they had learned into their daily lives using classical Catholic literature.
Unfortunately, I was, despite teaching for 12 years, considered conservative by the principal and the pastor and was recently let go. Our responsibility is to our Faith for our children to follow.
You did not say whether you had found a specific classical Catholic program, but I would highly recommend the Classical LIberal Arts Academy. There William Michael has great online commentary to read as well. It is a brilliant approach. I am so glad that I found them after searching for the Catholic true heritage in classical education.
This is our possibly our truest revolution in the making.

Why the hate for the satire that was Snakes on a Plane?
by irishraidersfan
Was it a masterpiece? Hell, no - it reminded me of those fun, shlocky 80s movies like House, but completely taking the piss. Then again, US audiences don't seem to get that kind of humour...

Fade to black fade up from black...
by rawsleestak
This had to be the cheapest trailer in the world to make, 50% of it is black. How much longer are the people cutting trailers these days gonna think this overused movie trailer cutting style is cool or clever or new or that people aren't becoming very aware that it's used in almost every trailer now and screams "I couldn't think of anything better so I cut it like everyone else does"?

bleh-that looked awful
by Jack Desmondi
A ghost on a plane? What the fuck's the point in that? And then just to scare and fuck with the passengers? If this was a typical Japanese "vengeful spirit", why wouldn't it just blast out the gasoline tank once it was over open water and couldn't get back and have everyone just go down screaming and die? This is some stupid shit.

Zombies (Flight of the Living Dead) on a Plane WASN'T Fun.
by Jack Desmondi
I watched it for free on either Chiller network of SyFy a couple months ago. The makeup and direction were "OK", but the CGI effects were shitty and the script was repetitive and tiresome. I fucking hated it--and this is someone who watched it for FREE.

Horrifying choice of music for a shit trailer!!!
by notcher
I think whoever was supposed to edit the trailer together overslept and just through that shit together. What a total crapfest. No interest. Oh, and I work for an airline, electronics don't take down aircraft but they do fuck up the navigation systems, COMPLETELY TRUE.

That OTHER Shatner horror on a plane film...
by solitaire
Anybody else ever see Horror at 37,000 feet? It was a tv movie with charles Napier as the captian and Shatner as a cowardly drunk. It was about a flight from england back to the states, and some gamook thinks it will be smart to ship a haunted druid alter home in the cargo hold. Hauntings and hijinks ensue, including an attempted exorcisim, a hooded figure and a frozen dog. It scared the shit out of me as a kid. I'd say this has more than a little bit owed to that film.

Yup, I remember that one from way back. It was scary when I was a kid. The Hooded figure was creepy and I remember the lady crying about her dog.

by Sluggolicious
'Interesting?' Really?! Invisible threat throws people around a plane somehow magically passes for 'horror.' If they'd had a budget that didn't require cheating around the fact there's no 'creature' and the passengers were trapped with a guy/girl who transformed into a say . . a werewolf? . . then it might've actually been interesting.

Should have just done a feature length remake of NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET
by lv_426
I've always wanted to see that one done again, even though the original Twilight Zone one and the one from the TZ movie were both great. I think it could work as a nice brisk 90 minute suspense/horror flick. Maybe build up to the gremlin on the wing a bit longer due to having more time to play with the pacing.

Jason Stackhouse is an epic himbo
by smackfu
The first time I saw him on True Blood, frantically masturbating to CNN Iraq war updates, I knew I was home.
Jan. 31, 2012, 5:13 p.m. CST
I'm ashamed to admit
by smackfu
my favorite recent horror film is Grave Encounters. It's a found footage deal about a 'ghost hunters' type tv show that runs into the real thing. I became jaded to horror films a loooong time ago, and this was the first one in a long time that actually gave me the heebie jeebies. It's cheesy and unoriginal, but it did the trick.

I'm at work, and I watched this with the sound off so no one knows. And you know something, without the sound, this trailer is not remotely scary or interesting, so I'm guessing it's completely shit.

IONIA (WKZO) -- One mom made a surprising find in her daughter's trick-or-treat bag on Halloween. She called police after finding a cellophane bag of marijuana in the bag of candy her four-year-old daughter brought home.
The mother and her daughter had gone to the east side of Ionia Wednesday night, but didn't find the bag of dope until they got home. She told police she had no idea which house may have put the drugs in her girl's goodie bag.

Charles Edward Gurley, 74, of Greeley, passed away Monday, March 12, 2012 at the North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley. Charles was born October 10, 1937 in Huntsville, Alabama and was raised by his grandparents.
In 1977, he married Loralee Gayde in Michigan. They enjoyed 35 wonderful years together. Charles worked for Pederson Toyota/Volvo in Fort Collins for many years. He loved to fish and collect Budweiser memorabilia and eagles. He was loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife Loralee, his sons, Timothy and Richard; daughters, Debbie, Sally, Michelle and Jayne; a brother, Jim; a sister, Molly; and several grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, 2 sons, Thomas and Gary and a daughter, Gail.Charles' wishes were to have no services at this time.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so, He put his arms around you and whispered "Come with Me". With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and fall away, although we couldn't bear to lose you we could not ask you to stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands were laid to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us that he only takes the best.

On Friday U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan will sentence former SAC Capital Advisors hedge fund manager Michael Steinberg for his conviction in December on five counts related to insider trading. Steinberg is one of two former SAC employees whom federal prosecutors believe have firsthand knowledge of insider trading by SAC's founder, Steven Cohen. Cohen has not been charged with any crime. Though Steinberg will likely receive a lengthy prison term, neither he nor Mathew Martoma, an SAC colleague convicted in January, is — at least publicly — cooperating with the government.
Prosecutors have been targeting Cohen in their sweeping crackdown on insider trading. Yet as a deterrent against future crimes, Steinberg's conviction — like scores of others in the past several years — is even more valuable. Conventional wisdom holds that landing the big fish in high-profile white collar cases is the best deterrent against other people breaking the same laws. Yet for would-be criminals, the arrest of a colleague or a peer at another fund has a more personal, harrowing effect than the takedown of a less-relatable outlier like Cohen.
This generation's insider trading crackdown is different from the one in the 1980s, when prosecutors punished big names like Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken — and in doing so, sent a message. While a handful of crooked investment bankers helped bring down Boesky and Milken — though Milken for crimes other than insider trading — those investigations didn't expand like they have today.
The current crackdown has notched scores of convictions and guilty pleas, with no end in sight. The Feds have been equally determined to pursue small-fry tippers as they have the big names. The broadness of the sweep brings it close to potential insider traders at all levels, which makes it so deterring. Their contact details are in the phones and computers of those who have been arrested or approached by the FBI, their e-mails and instant messages are on cooperators' servers, and their trading records are one query away from positive correlations with crooked traders.
Today few people who commit crimes in finance delude themselves that their "friends" — an impermanent term on Wall Street, even in the best of times — won't turn them in. Of the approximately 80 criminal cases filed in New York since the arrest of Raj Rajaratnam in 2009, only James Fleishman, a salesman at expert network Primary Global Research, refused to cooperate with the FBI. He paid a heavy price as a result: 14 months of a 2.5-year prison sentence.

This is a relatively new deli in the heart of Kendal and our first visit made a big impression! The shop itself is quite attractive, with a large counter full of delicious fresh-looking ingredients used to make their takeaway sandwiches. Then, towards the rear there are shelves containing a combination of exotic and local foodstuffs that could be used to make the perfect meal.
The enthusiastic and jolly owner was obviously very proud of his business and even gave us a mini-tour. He explained that he liked to stock local goods (indicating rows of pickles and relishes) but also accepted that he needed to offer items from further away that just weren't made here. We got the impression that he personally endorsed everything he sold and he could offer recipe suggestions at the drop of a hat!
It's really refreshing to see someone so committed to what they do and this little deli deserves to do well. If you're hungry and in Kendal please try it, as I'm sure you'll be greeted with a smile and leave with something really tasty.
Relish is amazing, the staff know how to make a reasonably priced meal taste great! Hungry in kendal and want a creative lunch? Relish is the deli / takeaway for you!

I'm so glad that this current viral Facebook trend requires opting in:
I promise to make something handmade for the first 5 people who comment. They must in turn post this as their status and make something handmade for 5 people as well. It must be handmade by you, and they must receive it before 2013 ends.
I mean just imagine the potential stacks of handmade crafty crap created by every monkey with a Facebook account.

Coziest Cottage Around!
First I must start by saying that Sandy River Beach is a beautiful, special place! I could not possibly say enough wonderful things about The Sandpiper! It's super cozy, clean and well equipped! The kitchen and living room lay out is spacious, and the bedrooms are removed just perfectly enough so that when our girls go to bed at night, my husband and I can still enjoy a nice evening together without having to tip toe around. We love to eat on the deck and the yard in front is also a great spot for our girls to play while they wait for us to get ready to go down to the beach! The beach is absolutely glorious-not crowded at all! I love being able to watch our children run the length of the beach freely! It's our family time and we cherish every second we're there! And every year as we leave, we're already looking forward to the following year's visit!
Home away from Home! RELAXATION!
Upon our arrival, we were greeted and made to feel like one of the family and we did ! The cottage has everything you need to have an enjoyable vacation. The kitchen is fully equipped and even had a lobster pot, which we used a few times. Carriage House is just a short drive to the area Lobster company. Being within steps of the Sandy River Beach was amazing and the view is incredible. We received many great recommendations for local attractions in the area. There are hiking trails on the Great Wass Island that we enjoyed. Our educational tour of the DownEast Institute was amazing and I'm glad we didn't miss it. This is a vacation my family will never forget. Hopefully , we can plan a return trip soon because it was so hard to leave.
Our third stay--the best ever!"
This is the third time we have stayed at this beautiful rental home on the edge of Chandler's Bay overlooking the Great Bar and Roque Island. This time we brought friends. There was plenty of room for four of us. As always, everything is thoughtfully arranged and set out for guests--a complete kitchen, tasteful decoration, lots of terrific information about the area (and the landlord answers any further questions about local stores, restaurants, things to do). They even have a blueberry field on their property--we had blueberry pancakes twice--and we picked up bags of mussels on the Great Bar and cooked them. Amazingly fresh and good!! If you are planning a trip to this most Down East part of Maine, theirs is the place to stay. We will definitely be back!

NCVO Photography Competition 2013
Welcome to NCVO members wishing to take part in the NCVO photography competition 2013 in partnership with PhotoVoice.
PhotoVoice is pleased to be a part of Change Makers, a photographic competition run in conjunction with the National Council for Voluntary Organisations for their 8000+ members. The theme of this year's competition is Change Makers so we are looking for images that show the positive impact that your organisation is having on the world. Ask yourself:
• Who are the change makers in your organisation?
• How are they bringing about change?
• What is the impact of that change?
There are some great prizes on offer in two categories:
1. Photographs taken by people who work for your organisation (paid staff members, trustees or volunteers, etc.)
2. Photographs taken by service users (beneficiaries or participants of your organisation)
For more details on how to enter, please go to NCVO Members' Photography Competition 2013
With over 10 years' experience in designing and delivering participatory photography projects for marginalised and vulnerable individuals and groups, PhotoVoice's pioneering projects enable those who might traditionally be the subjects of photography to become its creator.
Since 2000, we have worked with partner organisations across the sector, including those benefitting refugees, people who are blind and partially sighted, street children, people living with HIV/AIDS and those with differing requirements for inclusion. Currently, we are working with Catch 22 with young people affected by gangs and knife crime; with members of the National Working Group for Sexually Exploited Children and Young People on a Comic Relief / BBC Children in Need funded project called Having Our Say Too and with HM Prison Leeds on a project aiming to reduce re-offending rates.
We run dedicated training workshops for individuals and groups wanting to introduce participatory photography into their organisations and their beneficiaries. Places are still available for courses in 2013. Please visit PhotoVoice Training for more details.
We have also produced a considerable range of resources for working with different groups of beneficiaries as well as a statement of ethical practice which outlines the considerations and good practice guidelines that apply to any participatory photography work. Click here for more details

The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs issued an updated public-safety advisory shortly after the Colorado House approved several gun-control bills.
The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs has issued a list of defense tactics that it says female students should consider to fend off a would-be rapist, and they include some potentially off-putting bodily functions: menstruating, urinating and vomiting.
Those tactics are among 10 "what to do if you're attacked" tips contained in a public-safety advisory that the university's Department of Public Safety updated on Monday evening. The tips were removed from the site by Tuesday afternoon.
The update came just hours after the Colorado state House passed a package of gun bills designed to crack down on gun violence. Among the bills was one that would ban concealed weapons on college campuses.
UCCS said the safety tips supplement information and training taught in a "Rape Aggression Defense" class. The class is offered free to women on campus.
The 10 tips:
- Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself.
- Your instinct may be to scream, go ahead! It may startle your attacker and give you an opportunity to run away.
- Kick off your shoes if you have time and can't run in them.
- Don't take time to look back; just get away.
- If your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense.
- Tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.
- Vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.
- Yelling, hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, do it!
- Understand that some actions on your part might lead to more harm.
- Remember, every emergency situation is different. Only you can decide which action is most appropriate.
Not everyone thought the tips would be effective or practical.
"First, Colorado lawmakers claim ballpoint pens will save us from violent attacks. Now, it's vomiting, bare feet, and Aunt Flo. #fail," one woman tweeted.
Blogger, conservative syndicated columnist and Fox News Channel contributor Michelle Malkin added: "They forgot a surefire deterrent: Dress up as a Code Pink activist."
Meanwhile, Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar on Monday apologized for comments he made about rape on Friday during a House debate on legislation barring people from carrying guns into buildings on the campuses of the state's public universities. Salazar, a Democrat, said during a speech that women did not need to carry a gun to protect themselves from rapists on campus. He said that guns bring with them the possibility of shooting the wrong person.
"It's why we have call boxes, it's why we have safe zones, it's why we have the whistles. Because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at," he said.
"And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop ... pop a round at somebody."

Video of his speech went viral, and he was skewered by Republicans, gun-rights backers and some women.
"I'm sorry, a whistle and a call box are not going to help that woman on campus," said Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Littleton, KDVR reported.
Salazar issued a written apology on Monday, saying he was sorry if he offended anyone.
"We were having a public policy debate on whether or not guns make people safer on campus. I don't believe they do. That was the point I was trying to make," he said, according to The Denver Post.
"If anyone thinks I'm not sensitive to the dangers women face, they're wrong. I am a husband and father of two beautiful girls, and I've spent the last decade defending women's rights as a civil rights attorney."
