Chapter 1:
Sam peered open his eyes, only slightly. He didn't want Dean to catch him watching. The clock showed 3:04 am and as it had been for the past four nights, Dean wasn't sleeping. He was simply sitting up in bed and staring at the wall. Sam had quietly been watching the stress build up in his brother, ever since Chicago. Sam was stressed too. Hell, he was more than stressed. He was angry, scared, confused, and let down. He never realized it was all a trap either. All that he could think at the time was that this was almost over. But it had turned out to be just another fork in the road. He accepted it, almost, but he couldn't figure out what was eating away at Dean. He would have loved to ask him, but he figured that as usual Dean would get pissed and brush him off. So he let it go, for now.
Sam woke the next morning to find Dean on the laptop. "What are you looking at?"
Dean looked up and smiled "Morning sunshine. Think I found our next gig."
Sam stood up rubbing his eyes, "What is it?"
"This little town called Jackson. Only about a day from here. It's up in some foothills surrounded by woods and stuff. Seems there's been some mysterious deaths in the area for a while now. Campers, hikers, all those types. " Dean paused and tried to stifle a yawn. "So anyway, all these people have been pretty much slashed up. Really tore apart. Locals say its wild animals."
"And there's no way it could be?" Sam asked, not really anxious to jump right back into hunting. He was tired, and he knew Dean was beyond tired.
"Well, they don't exactly have a big bear or mountain lion population. They get an occasional rogue now and then but...no way." Dean shifted his eyes back to Sam and gave a half smile. "Besides, there's a few people who say they know the real story and that these attacks are not animals."
"I don't know Dean. Doesn't sound that promising..."
Dean cut him off turning the computer for him to look. "Check it out Sammy, before you say no. I've found the town has a little history. Seems there was this nut woodsman that lived there in the seventies. He kept himself secluded in the woods, living off the land hunting and shit. He was really into his woods man. But then the town started to grow, people found they liked to hunt and camp and play in the pretty little lake. Even got themselves a little casino up in the hills. Guess the tourists just started coming in like crazy. And I guess this really pissed off ole Davy Crockett. Legend has it he went crazy. First he started to just scare people. Then he actually attacked them. Then" Dean leaned in towards Sam and raised his eyebrows "This is where it gets good Sammy. Seems Davy Crockett turned to the dark side. Got into the old black magic if you know what I mean. Placing curses, calling forth evil things to take care of the campers. He died in 1985, but some say he's still there. Trying to get rid of everyone invading his precious landscape." Dean smiled a wide smile, pleased with his research. "See college boy, I am capable of some things."
Sam felt a little stab of guilt. "Wow Dean. I'm impressed. Who knew you could read!" He was trying to lighten the mood, then tried to dodge a pillow that Dean threw at him. "okay okay, sounds like it's worth checking into." Sam hesitated, then said, "You know, I know how much you hate the woods and camping man. This sounds like an all out outdoorsman adventure. You sure you're up to it? You look way tired man. I know you haven't been sleeping. Maybe we should take some time off." Sam waited for his brothers response, knowing it wasn't going to be pretty.
But Dean surprised him, yet again. He spoke in a calm, soft voice and said, "Listen Sammy, if you're not up to it, that's one thing. We can take a break if you need to for as long as you need to. But me, well I'm fine. And yeah, I'm tired. So what? I'm always tired Sammy. That's nothing new." He paused and looked down to the dark brown carpet. "Tell me now Sammy if you're up to it. Personally, I don't feel like sitting here twiddling my thumbs, but..."
Sam knew what his pigheaded brother was doing. He was going to put this on Sam. If Sam said he was tired or needed a break Dean would do it in a heartbeat. But his brother would never admit to needing anything. And as much as Sam wanted to say yes, he needed the rest, he knew it would drive Dean nuts to sit there. So once again, he gave in to his big brother, hoping that everything would be okay just because Dean said it would. "Nah man, I'm good. Let's check it out."
Dean smiled his cocky grin and winked his eye. "Let's go huntin' Sammy."
The ride was a very long and quiet one. Sam had to practically bite his lips to keep his mouth shut. He needed to talk to Dean, but Dean just stared straight ahead. He knew he was upset. Besides the tight hands on the wheel and the clenched jaw, Dean didn't even turn the music on. That was a bright flashing neon sign if ever there was one. Finally after about three hours of silence Sam broke.
"Do you think Dad's okay?"
Dean let out a small sigh. "Yeah Sammy, I'm sure he's fine."
"Maybe we should call him."
Dean shook his head. "No. Don't worry about
him Sammy. He's a fighter and he's the best. If he wasn't all right
he would call. He's looking out for us right now." Dean paused.
"But...I know he's fine."
Sam had his doubts. They had all been hurt pretty bad. Of course they were now healed, but he just needed to know for sure. He set his mind to the fact that when they stopped he would sneak away from Dean and call him. Sam once more looked over to his brother. "You okay man?"
Dean glanced at him quickly then back to the road. "Yeah I'm fine." Leave it to Sam to interrupt a nice peaceful ride, Dean thought.
"Then why haven't you been sleeping?" The question was out before Sam could stop it and he knew he was going to regret asking.
"What, you spying on me in the middle of the night? Last I checked you were the one with nightmares. I sleep just fine. Let it go Sam." Dean said sternly.
"Whatever." Was all Sam could say. His brother was the most frustrating person he had ever known. He tried to change the subject. "I've been researching this place and I found that the guys cabin is still there. Untouched." Dean arched his eyebrows, showing some actual interest in what Sam was saying. "Guess after he died and after all the freaky shit that's gone on out there no one wanted to go near the cabin. So it's been left the way he left it."
"Good, maybe we can use that." Dean said.
"Yeah, but you might not like this." Dean looked at him and raised his eyebrows. "It's uh, it's at least a days hike through the woods to get to the cabin." Sam had to smile. He knew Dean hated the woods and hiking. Sam might actually get some pleasure out of this trip yet, he thought.
"Whatever." Was Dean's only response.
About two hours later they finally passed a sign that said 'Welcome to Jackson' Population 1200.
"Great, a small town." Dean griped.
"What do you have against small towns?" Sam asked looking out the window. It seemed like a nice little town to him. Old fashioned stores, quaint little houses dotting the hillside. People walking up and down the rolling streets going in and out of the antique shops. Seemed nice enough to him.
"Let me tell you something little brother. Small town people are the freakiest people around. Give me the big city any day." Sam just laughed.
They stopped at a local
convienence store and stocked up on supplies for the trip. The store
owner regarded them cautiously. Actually he regarded Dean cautiously.
"You boys planning to go camping?" He asked. Sam nodded his
head. The man looked to Dean, "You don't look much like the
camping type son. Those boots of yours aren't gonna be much help out
on that terrain."
Dean flashed his most polite smile, only Sam knew how fake it was. "I think I'll be just fine thanks. "
The man nodded and rang up their purchase. On the way out he said, "You boys be careful out there. The woods can be a very dangerous and unforgiving place. "
"So we've heard." Dean mumbled.
They followed the directions they had got off Mapquest and ten minutes later they were in a parking lot in front of the 'authorized' entrance to the campgrounds. Of course they had no intention of staying to the restricted camp area. The boys got out of the car and heaved their backpacks on and headed out. Both completely oblivious to the dark figure watching them from behind the shade of the trees. And neither boy heard his steps as he followed behind.
They had been into the hike for almost two hours now. And slowly Dean had begun to lag behind Sam by at least five or six steps. He was exhausted and trying to keep up with Sam's long legs going up hill was becoming a losing battle. Every once in a while Sam would look back, his eyes filled with concern. But to his credit, he said nothing. Dean began to wonder if Sam really knew where they were going. He could have sworn they passed the same tree at least three times. After a while Dean stopped. He said nothing to Sam and watched as his brother went between two trees and disappeared. He just needed to rest for a second and catch his breath. Then suddenly he heard it. His head whipped up and he scanned the area. Whispers. Coming from all around him. Cautiously he set his pack down and pulled out his trusty shotgun. Then the whispers stopped. He heard a twig break behind him and spun, his shotgun rising. He came face to face with a figure in a dark cloak with the hood pulled around his face. After what seemed like minutes the thing spoke.
"You cannot hurt me young hunter."
Dean smiled, "Wanna make a bet on that?"
"I am not here to fight you. I am here to forewarn you. Leave this place now. You are in over your head."
"I'm the professional here. Think I got it covered." Dean sarcastically replied.
"Things are
not as they seem here." It replied. Then paused and tilted it's
head. "But you know that already. You know there are no
coincidences, only what's meant to be. You will fail here. Just as
you will always fail in the end. Just as your father will fail. You
cannot beat us young hunter. "
"Enough chit chat freak. Let's get down to business." Dean said and pointed the gun, beginning to pull the trigger. And although he could not see its face he felt the thing smile.
"Don't you think you should find your brother? Before he leaves you again."
Dean paused. That had caught him off guard. He shook his head clearing his mind and pulled the trigger. Just as he did it disappeared. "Come on, that's not really playing fair is it!" He screamed. There was no response. "Shit!" What the hell was that all about? He wondered. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. He swung around gun aimed and ready. His brother came to a screeching halt throwing his hands up.
"Whoa Dean! It's me!" Dean lowered the gun. "You alright? What happened?" Sam asked frantically.
"Had a little run in with a disappearing Obi One Kanobe." Dean laughed and placed the shotgun back in his pack.
"Dammit Dean! What the hells wrong with you! I turn around and all of a sudden you're gone!" Sam said, anger flashing across his face.
"Chill out Sammy boy. I was just tying my shoelaces." Dean said, trying to shrug off his exhaustion.
"I'm getting real sick of this crap Dean. Sick of you lying, sick of you trying to be Superman. Sick of your sarcasm! You hear me!"
Dean was actually surprised by Sam's anger. He literally had to take a step back when Sam got in his face. "Calm down Sammy alright. This was nothing I couldn't handle." Sam said nothing, just glared at his brother. "Tell you what, I'll be honest with you. This hiking shit sucks, and my feet hurt. Let's find a place to park it for the night and we'll hit the cabin first thing in the morning. Make ya happy?"
Sam regarded his brother for a moment. He knew Dean was exhausted, hell he could see it in his eyes. His brother had been pushing himself for a week now. God how he regretted agreeing to going on this hunt. This was the last place they needed to be right now. He was starting to get a real bad feeling that this place was going to turn into something big. He just wish his damned visions would show him what that was going to be. But until then, his brother needed to rest. And in all honesty so did he. "Yeah, there's a clearing up ahead. There's a little stream there too. Let's stay there tonight. We shouldn't be too much farther from the cabin anyway. " In an effort to make peace Sam reached down for his brother's pack, intending to carry it for him. Unfortunately no peace was to be made that day.
Dean smacked Sam's hand away. "Fuck you Sammy. I'm not a damn invalid. I can carry my own pack." He threw it up on his back like it was nothing and started walking. Sam sighed and jumped in front of his brother to show him to where they would camp for the night.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) Maria Sharapova defeated Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 6-3 Saturday to extend her unbeaten run to 13 matches and set up an all-Russian final at the Qatar Open.
Sharapova, who avenged her loss to Radwanska at the U.S. Open, will play Vera Zvonareva in the final Sunday. Zvonareva rallied to defeat Li Na 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinal.
"It was a good opportunity for me to go out and play against a player who had beaten me," Sharapova said. "I think she did a good job early in the match, but I was able to get ahead and play good tennis."
The winner of the Australian Open had two breaks to Radwanska's one in the first set, and broke her three times in the second set.
"It wasn't an easy match as she got a lot of balls back, but I was able to dig in and get winners myself," Sharapova said.
She leads the series 4-3 against Zvonareva, but lost in three sets at Indian Wells last year.
"I don't want to lose again," Sharapova said.
The winner will receive $441,000, the richest paycheck on the WTA Tour outside the Grand Slams.

To be weary of homework which involves parental input(111 Posts)
My son is eight. He's in year 4. I've just received his homework schedule for the term. It includes things like 'cook a simple meal', 'make a model of x', 'design a pattern using rice, etc', 'research xyz on the internet'. Things that, although I like to consider he's a bright child, there is absolutely no way he can achieve without parental input.
Don't get me wrong. I know that we as parents play a role in his education too and we educate him in all sorts of ways outside school. But projects which involve children of this age producing models, etc. invariably end up completed by the parents. There are two options, either you give the child the materials, sit back, watch him make a mess of it, pat him on the back and resign yourself to another low mark, or you get stuck in, 'help' and produce something which may get a better mark but isn't actually his work.
AIBU to think that it is unfair to expect parental input on this level? That the arts and crafts should remain in the classroom and homework, if assigned at all, should be something which requires parental supervision to ensure it is done, but no actual parental input? Or am I being a great big meanie who resents the fact that she is actually a bit pants at crafts and can't hope to produce results like the alpha mummies who spend hours doing their children's homework while they are at school!
chocoluvva - I was being deliberately vague with the rice pattern thing! Their topic for the term is an Asian country, and apparently these patterns are traditional there. I'm hoping that at some point it will be explained to them how these patterns are made (and how to recreate them without making a mess! :-)).
The making a simple meal also refers to this country's cuisine. The homework guide actually says 'Perhaps you could try cooking a simple meal, did you like it?' I'm considering sending my son's homework book back splattered in curry with the word 'yes' written on the page.
The teacher is a NQT and is very keen and generally very good. At the beginning of the term, they are given a 'grid' of homework, with each unit earning them either one, two or three stars. They have to get to ten stars each term. Generally, it works well and my son is enthusiastic about doing his homework, but it does mean we get hit with the full whammy of the whole term's homework at once!
When I taught Maths at a primary (Prep) school years ago I had to give homework according to the school policy so I did.
However, I kept it low key, more Maths games/puzzles (though of course I had parents who complained that it wasn't serious enough ) and I repeated ad nauseam that the absolute maximum time they should spend on it was 30 mins, no more.
(And if a parents ever wrote that they didn't have time to do it/finish it that was never a problem at all).
But I would get notes/letters back in saying 'X & I spent 2 hours on this and couldn't do it, then when Daddy came home they spent even longer and still couldn't' - 30mins MAX!! And tbh the puzzles should only have taken a few minutes. I never set anything that would take half an hour, but the school policy was 2 x 30mins maths hw a week.
OP - I totally agree with you, so far I only have 1 DC at homework level and his is pretty low key so far, thankfully. Still blood from a stone some weekends though.
Thanks all for your, er, input!
My SIL who's a teacher, claims not to mind if homework hasn't been done because the child was at brownies/swimming/flute lesson etc as that will do them "more good".
What are the consequences if the simple meal isn't cooked or the rice remains unmolested?
YANBU - but do speak to the teacher to see what's expected. I don/t think they'll be getting marks for perfection. In our case it's a case of 'assist' or 'discuss' but certainly don't do it for them. If it's impossible to do etc - write a note explaining why / what you did instead.
Here Reception get daily and weekend reading books and some word exercises to repeat practice.
Y4 get daily reading book, but no specified amount. Weekly literacy task (min 1/2 page), a maths sheet and a spelling practice (10 words).
In the years before that we might have had more 'practical' things to do, finding (and listing) shapes around the house, drawing a map from home to school, I really can't remember that many specifics. In all cases though the guidance in Y1 and 2 at least was that it was okay not to do it and possibly do something more suitable instead, and notify what you did.
Over X-mas one simple project (competition entry) aimed at all KS2 classes that was entirely optional though.
Need to add both parents here work full-time but we always make some time at the weekend, it should not take more than a couple of hours.
In the first half of term, although he had completed his requisite ten stars, one of his 'projects' got mislaid at some point. He got a half-page reminder from the teacher that homework was there to be completed and got given another week to finish it.
Arguably all elements of the homework are optional. So we don't have to cook a simple meal (does popping one in the microwave count?) as we could choose an alternative. But very few of the alternatives are simple and entirely written and they have to choose units across the range, so they can't go just maths or just creative, etc.
YorkshireDeb...personally, I like something more interesting than a worksheet, but not that involves;
a) a lot of mess
b) more than 20 minutes of my involvement (3 DC, I can spare an hour to help each, not 3 hours!)
c) needing any materials other than pens, pencils and paper (we have other stuff, but not all families do, and that includes internet access and computer)
d) gathering opinions/information from family/friends who probably have even less interest in my DCs homework than me, if they even have any knowledge of the topic
So, discussions, games, surveys of what we have in the house, diaries of what's been eaten/done/played with are fine.
Constructing a lighthouse, conducting an interview with someone who did something interesting in WW2, making a Robin Hood/Guy Fawkes/character from a book costume, taking a piece of electrical equipment apart to look at the circuits (all examples of homework that my DSS/DC have been given) are not.
YANBU. I have three children of varying ages and I just haven't got the time. They cannot be bothered with homework when they get home, they are tired, want to veg out and relax. I also need to relax, get tea ready, bath, bedtime, clean etc. and I just haven't got the time for the irrelevant shite they are often asked to do. Reception was the worst but it seems better now but what a pain in the arse of the most major degree.
I'm a teacher, and can echo what YorkshireDeb said. I teach KS1 and give homework because I have to. It's a hassle to create - especially when we're differentiating for 4 different levels for numeracy AND literacy. However, what I will say is that it can be incredibly useful if used in the correct way. I always choose work that reflects what we've been doing in class so if parents get involved they can see exactly what we've been working on and the children can consolidate their knowledge.
Other creative projects are given to encourage talking and imagination... I totally agree Rudolph that children need recreation and chatting at home, but unfortunately some don't get that. Homework isn't the answer to that, and the children that don't get any help probably won't ever, but we can only try. Communication is the key I think, homework is an opportunity for extra learning at the end of the day and if your children are getting other experiences rather than doing their homework, I would have absolutely no problem with that as their teacher if you told me that. With maybe a 'sorry' added in, as like I said, organising and creating homework takes up precious time
Have any of the parents approached the school?
Few years ago my DC school was mad with project work which all seemed to require parental input. Every holiday they had a massive project requiring lots of research and often arts and craft as well.
Then it suddenly changed to just reading, spellings, occasional handwriting and sometimes maths. It can still take some time - especially when one of our DC kicks of about doing it - but it is at least relevant to them and dealing with the basics.
They also dont have a massive project every holiday.
I think the parental dissassifcation got back to the head and they acted on it.
I was told at this year 4 homework was 20 minutes for each subject and then stop. So do the twenty minutes and then stop, there is more to life than school work.
I don't really know how the other parents feel. It's a new school (as of September) and my children get taxied in so I don't really get much school-gate interaction! The only mum I know well (as we were friends before) is a SAHM and very arty-crafty and probably relishes getting stuck in!
simple meal cooked
boil an egg and make toast as a simple meal
Try mentioning the homework is an issue at next teacher/parent consultation.
Worst case you get ignored best it stops or you get more guidance.
YANBU my DS is only in year one and I still can't work out the point of homework. Plus sometimes it's not clear what is homework and what's optional.
I hated this. I was more than happy to spend time on craft type activities with my boys when they were young but there was something about being required to make a pyramid or an easter hat by a particular deadline that used to make me stressed beyond belief.
Especially when there were two such crappy homeworks to be done at the same time
silver: in answer to your question, based on my experiences in the Real World as a parent and here, on MN, most non selective state school parents are against homework.
One thing that concerns me about homework is how it balances with such a long day for many children. Those with parents who work full-time office hours won't be able to start that homework until quite late in the day, as well as the reading they have to do and any other extra-curricular activities, not to mention inconsequential things like eating a meal or having a bath... No wonder so many of our children are so tired all the time.
I don't do homework for them. If necessary, I will show them how to get the hw done in a very simple way (appropriate to their level). I didn't think OP's examples were that demanding, tbh.
DS had to make & wear a Tudor costume on a specific day, and that was impossible for him because he shut down completely & freaked out about getting it wrong (socially unacceptable with his peers). So I suggested ideas & we both did parts of it. That's about the most I've ever done of any of their homework.
Several children came to school in uniform on tudor-costume day, I guess their parents didn't do the HW either, lol.
Setting a time limit for homework is good and it was something we stuck to, however, any in complete homework that was handed in had to be finished during playtimes. So my DCs had a choice plod on in the evenings until finished or spend time away from friends completing something we were told is not that important.
Thankfully things have improved at the school and this practice has stopped.
You are so right op.. I just ignored such crap with my 4 and wrote in school link book that if they were unable to do the home work by themselves then the teacher needed to re teach that lesson as obviously the kid didn't understand it.
Of course minimal help with maths and hearing them read but what is the school thinking by setting vast amounts of homework in the first place for little children.
They should be out doing sport or playing.
No wonder we have such fat kids in this country.
It's bollocks but remember you don't need to her sucked in here just say no.
I am a TA.
Binky!! Kept in at playtime at first school for not doing hw!!!!!Fucking ridiculous and I would have caused a massive stink at that one.
Are all those things supposed to involve parents? Wow someone should have told me years ago. Only things I do from that are cooking and supervise net.. I neveer interfered with creative stuff, why should I ? I let my kids design and what they want, and if I want to design soemthing I do it myself, which often happens lol. For these pieces, I dont think its about the grade, but about taking part.. but maybe we are weird, my children have all enjoyed creating stuff, and always tell me to do my own. its cheating if I help.
The rice pattern... Child draws a pattern of choice, then adds glue, slowly pours overr rice. leave to set. Gently life paper, curve a bit and rice tats loose will drop into bin... Not hard. Dont children in school make pics with glitter, sprinkles, pasta etc, this is how they are taught..But unless the child eats glue, you just supervise.
Havent read all threads here so might be repeating someone.
Kids are enough hours in school getting their little brains taxed all day. parents are all day working either from home or out somewhere, EVERYONE needs to rest their brains in the evenings.
And kids these days seem to have different ways of learning than we had (abacus/calculators, slate (no not really!)/computers) and so how are WE supposed to know what to do, when the teacher next day anyway says 'thats not how we work it out here'.
play and rest time are JUST as important as learning/working time.
Thank God I homeschool now, not that DC got mounds of homework before as she has SN, but now we do our thing and thats it.
quality family time.

Mainline Protestant Ministers Turning From the Inner City
By CHRIS HEDGES
Published: May 31, 1990
The Rev. Robert B. Lepley, a United Church of Christ minister, had set out with the idealism of the uninitiated to serve in the East New York section of Brooklyn.
He organized local residents to demand that the police shut down a neighborhood crack house, a move that drew threats against him from local drug peddlers. And he lived on his part-time salary of $6,000 a year. He was determined to make a difference in one of New York's toughest neighborhoods.
After two and a half years, exhausted and disillusioned, he quit.
''It was a defeat,'' said Mr. Lepley, whose former congregation sold its church building to a Hispanic Pentecostal congregation two months ago. ''I left because my life was in danger, my family was in danger and because I needed a full-time ministry position.''
In the next few weeks new seminary graduates will begin the annual rite that had led Mr. Lepley to East New York, meeting with the search committees of small congregations to start careers in the mainline Protestant churches - the Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Episcopalians and others with European roots. For decades this has been a time of triumphant reaffirmation of the churches' commitment to the poor and downtrodden as idealistic young members of the clergy head off to lead congregations in the cities.
But today the graduation season is a depressing reminder for many mainstream Protestant churches of their growing irrelevance in the inner city.
The urban programs that the churches began two or three decades ago have fizzled out for lack of funds and support. These programs, while often providing needed services, have frequently had trouble drawing new church members from minority neighborhoods. And most seminary students, who 20 years ago saw urban ministry as one of the churches' more exalted missions, now turn away from the struggling congregations that can barely offer them a living wage.
This decision has grown especially acute as the median age of divinity students has climbed to the early 30's, with many choosing the ministry as a second career. Many of these older students have spouses and children and cannot afford the personal and financial risks involved in inner-city work.
The Union Theological Seminary in New York, the nation's premier liberal divinity school for urban ministry, found in a survey of its 1989 graduates that 34 of a total of 62 went on to be ordained. The school's Office of Student Affairs, which did the survey, was able to track 55 of the 62 graduates. Of the 34 who entered parish work, 15 chose an inner-city ministry.
In 1965, Union's class of 48 ministerial students sent 38 into congregational work and 27 into inner cities, according to the Union Alumni directory.
Urban ministry professors say that many of the ministers who enter congregational work in poor sections of cities leave after a few years.
'Wrong Person in Wrong Place'
''You put a young person with imagination in one of these places and they soon feel they are the wrong person in the wrong place,'' said George W. Webber, a professor of urban ministry at New York Theological Seminary. ''They feel like a failure.'' Church officials acknowledge the difficulties of placing new seminary graduates in these churches, but they say they cannot pay the salaries experienced pastors would require.
''One of the frustrations we have is that frequently we are putting students fresh out of seminary in urban churches,'' said the Rev. James Sudbrock, assistant to the Bishop of the Lutheran Church in New York for urban congregational life.
''I have not seen in New York City a lot of people burning out in the sense of quitting the ministry,'' Mr. Sudbrock said, ''but I will say that for people coming out of seminary to the urban church, they don't all last long.''
Liberal divinity schools like Union, which graduated 60 master of divinity students on Friday, emphasize theological works that encourage students to work with the poor. But despite this emphasis, it is clear to most students that they will find neither financial nor moral support in tiny urban parishes.
''If I had gotten the funds, I could have built that parish,'' Mr. Lepley said of his East New York church.
Added to the penury of an inner-city ministry is the personal insecurity. A neighborhood organizer who worked with Mr. Lepley to push the crack dealers out of their neighborhood saw his store firebombed. Mr. Lepley believes he would have been a victim of drug dealers, too, had he stayed.
Fear of Burglary
An inner-city pastor is often expected to do everything from take care of the building's maintenance to recruit new members. Many are given parsonages or apartments, but the housing often forces them to assume the role of a building superintendent in neighborhoods rife with break-ins.
''For the first three months I didn't sleep a full night,'' said the Rev. Cristina del Piero, whose church in the Bronx has been broken into twice in the last three years.
In Mr. Lepley's church, the congregation, mostly elderly and white, locked the doors of the building during Sunday services to keep out thieves.

The 6 Principles of Design
Graphics don't overpower text,Page is not too heavy on one side or the other,such as, putting matching text boxes at the top and bottom of a publication.
Distance between elements on a page,Used to demonstrate a relationship or a lack of relationship between elements,such as, you must put captions (text) next to the related photograph.
Justification of elements,Related items should be justified the same to emphasize their relationship to each other,such as, the text giving the location, date, time, and cost of an event are all CENTERED on a flyer
Consistent pattern of font and color schemes and graphic types; repeated fonts,color schemes, or graphics
1. Specific font, size, and style for headings,subheadings, and body text.
2. Do not mix photographic images or digital and cartoon images on the same page.
Scheme - a planned combination of elements,such as a combination of font styles and sizes
Scheme examples:
In a publication:all the Headings are keyed in 14 pt. Arial font and the Body is keyed in 12 pt. Times New Roman font or all the text is in the same font type/style.The graphics that are used all relate to the topic of the publication
the use of color and size to emphasize the most important elements on a page.
for example:Use black font on a light pink colored page,Use white font on black paper,Use light gray on dark blue
White Space
White space is: blank or negative space on a page
Used to give the reader's eyes a break
Used to focus the reader's attention on important details
White Space does not have to be white

Here, at this Chinese restaurant, I've learned that going with a chef definitely has its advantages. These clams -- God, they were fresh -- aren't on the menu, but the owner, who sensed immediately what the chef in residence wanted to eat, delivered the best the kitchen had to offer in abundance.
Can you guess where I'm eating?

Oh wow! Check out the Nick Cannon.
Dude is getting ready to make another big move. He's bringing back "Soul Train."
Yep, you read that correctly. At this weekend's American Black Film Festival in South Beach, Cannon revealed that he recently struck a deal to bring the musical variety show to NBC, via his production company NCredible Entertainment.
"One of the things I'm the most excited about, and we're just now starting to talk about it is the re-launch of Soul Train and that coming back," Cannon told theGrio's Chris Witherspoon. "It means so much for our culture. It truly is something that to be able to bring through my deal at NBC Universal is that in itself is kind of taking it to the next level for where the brand began. I'm excited about that."
Last year it was reported that Cannon inked a first-look production deal with NBC to develop scripted and unscripted programming for the network.

I was born augest 23 1997 i saw soul train in 2000 and its 30th anniversery now i can stop looking at 106 in park.
It is going to be call HIP HOP TRAIN.
Hahahahaha! Yep.
Please say it aint so, just more fuel for the fire.
We can beg and plead but Nick will do this knowing full well we don't have soul today like we used to. Such a shame to see this happening to our culture.
I know. Makes me sad.
Please Nick. I love you, but don't go there.
Is this going to be a new Soul Train, or repeats of old shows? The average kid doesn't dance, or go to parties where you dance like we did back In the day

b) What design features do cars have to reduce the risk of injury during this type of collision? Car designers have created features such as: - airbags to prevent the driver from hitting his/her head on the dashboard. - Crumple zones, to prevent the car from folding or collapsing on the drivers and passengers. - Headrests so when the drivers head flicks back, the neck and spine is not injured 4.

Which would be the light, bell, or loud noises stimulating an individuals learned automative response of putting on the seatbelt. He also recommended to avoid the term of "negative reimbursements" by "instead focusing on positively reinforcing seat belt use" (Clayton et al., 2006). The avoidance of using seat belts can be correlated to the Theory of Planned Behavior. The TPB states that if we plan to do something, we are more than likely to go forward with the action and that stronger intentions

For over fifty years American car companies have been manufacturing muscle and sports cars that have set the standard of what an affordable sports/muscle car is. Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge have all made incredible classic cars which will always be remembered. Their iconic style, big horsepower, and major rivalry have made these cars memorable
Finally, car polling is good because it leaves much more parking places in many crowded areas. One example of this would be is that when students go to school in the morning it is usually hard to find a parking place because they are all taken by other students cars but if a couple of friends used on car then this will leave much more parking place for others.

race car drivers also have to be in great shape to be competitive. Many argue that race car drivers should not be considered athletes because it is thought that race car drivers do not strength train like many other professional athletes do.

comes in handy due to the fact that most cars can only go about 50 or 100 miles per charge. Hybrid cars are also much smaller than gasoline cars. In most scenarios, the larger the car the more cylinders it has. Having more cylinders requires the car to hold more fuel in order to run smoothly, which in turn costs the consumer more money (Nice). Many people wonder how exactly hybrid cars can improve the fuel economy. Besides the fact that hybrid cars are smaller and don't need fuel to work
It is considered to be a big necessity. Tires or wheels would also complement the car. You need these in order for the car to move as well. Gas could possible be considered a substitute also depending on the type of car that is purchased. The price of gasoline is increasing but the demand for hybrids and an electric vehicle is also increasing. If the price of one good, gasoline in this case, increases and the demand for a related good increases (vehicles) then the goods are to be considered substitutes
The open source strategy additionally cut down essential research and development costs and thereby limited related risks. Based on the Android case, we would argue to design the self-driving car product in the following way: Google should start with an intensive partnership with one of the established car manufacturers to prove the concept and afterwards exercise its right to license the software. Subsequently, it can focus on selling the operating system and updates. In doing so, Google avoids
Electric vehicles are different because of the fact they don't require fuel in the traditional sense. A car powered by electricity alone will still need to be charged. Where this power comes from is up to the operator. Electric vehicles are charged by plugging them into an electrical grid. These grids can be powered by coal, natural gas, oil, hydroelectric, solar, wind, nuclear, and others. All of these sources are cleaner compared to the amount of air pollution emitted by mass amounts of vehicles
problems. Electric cars are more efficient compared to gas-powered cars, in terms of energy and maintenance. Electric engines use 75 per cent of the energy from the batteries to run the wheels, while internal combustion engines only use about 20 per cent of the energy from fuel. Electrical engines also require less maintenance compared to internal combustion engines. You no longer need oil to lubricate the engine. The brakes would not wear off as quickly as gas-powered cars. You do not need belts
about one complement for a new car that also affects the supply and demand for what new car you buy. Gasoline, you wouldn't buy a new car without also having to buy gas. Gas right now is reaching all time highs and expected to go higher so again people are looking for more fuel efficient vehicles since driving or not driving for many is not an option. Those that live in rural areas have no choice but to drive to get to work and shopping. Another complementary item for a car is new tires. You know at some

The progressive nature of the development of the vehicle has enabled the developers to invent Google cars that are steer less and controlled without the presence of an individual in the vehicle (MARKOFF, 2010).

This will soon make it easier and cheaper to get your car repaired (1). As for the battery being replaced all the time I found out that wasn't true either. Van Batenburg and Hybridcars.com had said that the battery packs that are used in hybrid systems do not use the material called nickel metal hydrates which are found in cell phones and video recorders. Battery packs in hybrid cars are prevented from overheating by the use of cooling fans and sensors that are inside the battery packs themselves

Summary: Future fic. Seven years after graduating from Chilton, Rory and Paris are business partners. What happens when they strike up a joint venture with Tristan DuGrey?
Unholy Alliance
by Grace
Part One: Of all the gin joints…
Rory Gilmore needed a drink. Even after all these years, there were still times when Paris could drive her to distraction. Fortunately, the good times far outnumbered the bad, saving Rory from a life of alcoholism.
It had been a surprising partnership, to say the least. When both of Paris' parents had been killed in a car accident during her senior year at Harvard, she had become a very wealthy young woman. She had approached Rory with an offer to start up an independent magazine following their impending college graduation. Rory was hesitant at first, but the offer proved too tempting.
Freshly capped and gowned, the newly formed G & G Publishing leased office space in downtown Hartford during the summer of 2007, and began working on the first issue of the Harbinger. The focus of the magazine was to be cutting edge, whether it was dealing with politics or pop culture. Paris would be listed as the Editor-in-Chief, while Rory would write and edit under the pen name L.L. Hayden. Going in, Rory knew that it would be a struggle making compromises with Paris, but she believed their experience on The Franklin would help.
After three grueling months, the inaugural issue was ready to go to press. Paris used her family's connections to stage an extravagant launch party, and the magazine was well received.
Three years later, they were still going strong. They catered to a younger target readership than many magazines, and received several critical accolades for, as one reporter phrased it, "placing a finger on the sophisticated, intelligent pulse of today's young adults." In fact, things were going so well that Paris was looking to branch out, which brought about the most recent disagreement with Rory.
Although www.Hartford-Harbinger.com had been up and running practically since day one, Paris wanted to spin off an all-new, all-online edition of the magazine. It would have the same type of content as the print edition, but with different writers and articles. The way she saw it, a free online edition would entice new readers into finding out more about the publication, and hopefully subscribing to the print format. Rory, on the other hand, was firm in her protest that it was too big of an undertaking. Not only would they need to expand their writing staff, a web design department would need to be added. An outside contractor maintained their current site, and the cost would be prohibitive for continuing that on the scope Paris was interested in.
After a two-hour debate that culminated in some much-needed yelling, Paris had announced that she was taking a late lunch, and huffed out of the office. Which was how Rory ended up contemplating whether she wanted an amaretto stone sour or a strawberry daiquiri when she got home from work.
Her ruminations were interrupted by the beep of the intercom.
"Yes, Tracy?"
"Ms. Hayden, there's a gentleman here to see Ms. Gellar. Since she isn't in, he's requested a meeting with you."
Rory bit back a sigh. "Send him in."
Her head was bent over an upcoming column when the knock came at the door. Without looking up, she called out, "Come on in. I'll be right with you."
Wanting to finish one more paragraph, she returned to her reading, only to be interrupted by a male voice uttering "Mary."
Startled, she looked up, straight into the piercing blue eyes of none other than Tristan DuGrey.
"Tristan? What are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too, Rory. What's it been, ten years?"
"Nine," she responded automatically.
She regretted it immediately when he began to smirk. "Been keeping track? Aw, I never knew you cared."
Even after all this time, Rory couldn't stop the rosy flush from creeping up her neck and cheeks. "Some things never change, do they?" she commented dryly.
"Come on, you know you missed me."
"Honestly? I never gave it much thought, although my life did become strangely peaceful after your departure."
"You wound me, Mary." For a split second, she thought she saw an expression of genuine hurt flicker across his face. "So, who's the lucky guy?"
Puzzled by the abrupt change in subject, she could only reply, "Excuse me?"
"Your secretary called you Ms. Hayden…"
She laughed suddenly at the absurdity of his misconception. "Hayden is my father's last name. I write under the pseudonym L.L. Hayden."
His eyebrows went up suggestively. "So you're not married?"
"Only to my work."
"That's so sad. Here I thought you'd be happily settled with Grocery Man, raising 2.4 kids and a dog."
"As much as I'm enjoying this analysis of my personal life, you still haven't told me why you're here."
"Paris told me to drop by if I was ever in the neighborhood, so here I am."
"I didn't realize the two of you had kept in touch."
"If it makes you feel any better, she never mentioned that the two of you worked together. So I take it you're the other G in G & G Publishing?"
Rory nodded. "So what are you doing with yourself these days?"
"Apparently, Chilton instilled an entrepreneurial spirit in all of us, because I started my own consulting firm. We mainly do web design, but I'm looking for a new challenge."
At his words, Rory felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. She knew Paris would think Tristan was the perfect candidate for her expansion plans, and the thought of working side-by-side with him, every single day… Keeping her tone casual, she said, "I always figured you more as the high-powered attorney or CEO type."
"What, and go along with my father's life plan for me?" he scoffed. "This was independent enough to shove in his face, and lucrative enough to make me happy."
"The best of both worlds, huh?"
"Something like that." He glanced quickly at his watch. "Look, I have someplace that I need to be. Could you tell Paris that I stopped by?"
"Sure. I know she'll be sorry she missed you."
Tristan stood slowly and extended his hand. "It was good to see you again, Rory."
She took the proffered hand, and ignored the warm tingles from the contact. "You too."
He started to leave, then stopped abruptly and turned around. "I'm going to be in town for a few days. Do you think it would be okay if I gave you a call, maybe we could go for coffee?"
He left without another word, and she leaned back in her leather desk chair, murmuring, "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, he walks into mine."
* * *
Another hour went by before Paris returned to the office. Rory was doing some research online when there was a tentative knock at her door. Looking up, she saw her partner, appearing about as contrite as Paris ever got.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure. I was just checking some numbers for that article on voting practices."
"Oh, good. Look, Rory, I just wanted to say that I might have pushed a little too hard this morning. I still think we should expand, but I'm hoping we can come up with a plan that we could both live with."
Rory smiled. "I'd like that. By the way, Tristan stopped by to see you."
Paris paled slightly, but tried to keep her voice nonchalant. "Really? What a blast from the past."
"Save it, Gellar. I know that you've kept in touch with him. What I don't understand is why you felt it was necessary to be so secretive."
"I just didn't think you'd care, that's all. It's not like you two were really friends."
"I wasn't really friends with anyone at Chilton, but that doesn't stop you from updating me on the latest antics of Madeline and Louise. What gives?"
Paris sighed. "Look, Tristan caused a lot of difficulties between the two of us. I just didn't think it was a good idea to dredge up past problems when things have been going pretty well."
Rory nodded. "Okay, but that doesn't explain why you never mentioned to him that you and I are partners."
"You're just not going to let this go, are you? Fine. You want the truth? We were in college before Tristan finally stopped 'casually' asking about you in conversation. Whether you realized it or not, he was pretty hung up on you. I didn't want to start him thinking he could be a part of your life again."
"Paris, that was years ago. We're all adults now. I'd like to think we're all mature enough to put the past behind us and be friends. Unless…you're still pining for him."
Paris snorted. "Not likely. You know that I love Jess. Nothing is going to change that."
"I still think it's weird that you ended up married to my step-cousin," Rory mumbled.
"Yeah, well, I still think it's weird that I ended up married before you."
"True. I suppose I should tell you—Tristan and I are probably going to go out for coffee while he's in town."
"Okay. Just…don't break his heart."
"I doubt I could even if I wanted to."
"You'd be surprised, Gilmore."
* * *
Returning to her office, Paris closed and locked the door, then sat at her desk and dialed a familiar number.
After two rings, she heard, "DuGrey speaking."
"Hey Tristan. I heard you stopped by."
"Yeah, sorry I missed you. So, were you ever going to bother mentioning that you were business partners with Rory Gilmore?"
Paris stifled a groan. Her day was seriously beginning to resemble the Spanish Inquisition. "I didn't think you'd want to know."
"Paris…" his tone was warning.
"Fine, I didn't think you needed to know. Rory was a part of your past. I thought it would be best if she stayed that way."
"Don't you think I should get to make that decision for myself?" he asked quietly.
"It sounds like you already have," she snapped acidly. "I hear you offered to take her for coffee."
"News travels fast. It's no big deal, just two old schoolmates catching up. No different than a high school reunion, really."
"Right. No different at all. Don't break her heart, Tristan."
At the other end of the connection, he smiled sadly. "I doubt I could even if I wanted to."
"Just be careful. Now when are you coming to see me?"
"I have meetings all morning tomorrow. Why don't we get together for lunch?"
"Sounds good. I have a proposition I think you'd be interested in."
"Ooh, does Jess know? And if he does, I must say that sounds kinky."
"A business proposition. Mind out of the gutter, DuGrey."
They arranged for a time and place to meet the following day, and then hung up. Paris smiled grimly. Life was about to get interesting.
To be continued…

I've never really been a fan of hot peppers – I'm not big on spicy foods. But it turns out, I just hadn't found the right way to use them yet, and now that I have, I can't get my hands on enough of them.
I have four things that I'm going to show you how to make over the next week, and they all call for dried hot peppers, so today, I'm going to start by showing you how to dry peppers.
Let's get started!
What You Need:
Hot peppers (any variety will work)
A knife
A cutting board
A dehydrator (optional, but a big help. Scroll to the bottom of the post for instructions on drying without one)
First things first … don't skip the gloves. The Capsaicin that gives peppers their heat can irritate your skin. A thick pair of kitchen gloves is ideal, but if you don't have any, doubling up on latex gloves will also work (that's what I did). Believe me, I've made the mistake of handling hot peppers ungloved, and you don't want to go there.
Some people dry peppers in their oven, but I don't recommend doing it that way. As the peppers dry, the Capsaicin will get into the air, and it can become extremely irritating to your eyes, nose and lungs. To avoid all of that unpleasantness, I just take my dehydrator out on the porch, and dry them in that. It works like a charm, and it gives me an excuse to get outside for a little while.
Here's What You Do:
Wash and dry your peppers, and cut off their stems. If you're working with larger peppers, like jalapenos, cut them in half lengthwise. This will help the peppers to dry out faster. But, don't scoop out the seeds – they're what give the peppers their heat, so you want to dry them, too. [Read more…]

Here's something curious and weird for a change. Regretfully, I don't remember who I stole this from since I found it in my drafts folder and I'm not sure how long ago I started it. I had to dig into the vault for some of these pics.
1. Four names that people call me other than my real name:
1. Four names that people call me other than my real name:
1. Scully (duh)
2. Sweets/Sweetness (Ryan's pet name for me and yes there is a diabetes reference)
3. scullybum, scully-doo, fartybum, skfuckybum, sculls/skulls. Honestly anything that doesn't resemble my first name. I don't think this counts as 1.
4. astrowench. From a long LONG time ago.
2. Four jobs I've had: (that aren't my career of choice at present)
2. Working in an outdoors store selling camping equipment
3. Gift shop in the Holiday Inn (this was my first job I ever had. I was 14 and minimum wage was $6.45/h)
4. Coffee whore at Second Cup in Alberta
3. Four movies I've watched more than once:
1. High Fidelity (my all time favourite movie)
2. Edward Scissorhands (my runner up all time favourite movie)
3. Rocky Horror Picture Show (my 3rd place all time favourite movie)
4. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tied with A Christmas Story (because best Christmas movies EVER) again I'm squeezing 2 in.
It seems I don't like anything current...
4. Four books I'd recommend:
1. Catcher in the Rye (because I've always been somewhat damaged)
3. Oh She Glows Cookbook Does a cookbook count?
5. Four places I've lived:
2. Red Deer, Alberta (asshole of the province)
3. Hamilton, Ontario. Countless times and locations (and currently)
4. Toronto for a brief period of time
6. Four places I've visited:
Only FOUR!?
2. India
3. Bangkok
4. Tokyo
7. Four things I prefer not to eat:
1. Meat
2. Dairy
3. Eggs
4. Gluten (I guess this is less of a preference and more of a necessity)
8. Four of my favorite foods:
2. BEANS (all kinds and in all ways, I adore beans)
3. Chocolate. Even milk chocolate. I'm a vegan but chocolate doesn't count ;)
4. Kale smoothies (yes, I'm THAT person every single morning, go ahead and judge me)
9. Four TV shows I watch
1. Biggest Loser (great mindless entertainment on the trainer)
2. Bachelor/Bachelorette (Okay, this is a guilty pleasure of not just mine but mine and Ryan's. BELIEVE IT)
3. Walking Dead
4. 2 Broke Girls, New Girl and Grey's Anatomy (I'm cheating again and putting 3. Love setting these up while I'm on the bike)
10. Four things I'm looking forward to this year:
2. Attempting to race again
3. A little bike touring trip with Ryan.
4. progress on my other arm (tattoo sleeve)
11. Four things I'm always saying:
1. I'm sorry I farted and it's bad. (verbatim) TRUTH!! Maybe it's all those beans....
2. Turn the volume down (....because sensory overload)
3. I feel sick
4. People are the worst kind of people (I owe the credit of that term to a very old and smart friend)
Feel free to copy and paste this! It's entertaining to write and read.
Sorry to whomever I stole it from!
Oh well.
Fuck it.

Picture: Jaclyn Smith shops on Robertson Boulevard wearing her signature Kmart jeans Los Angeles, California - 19.02.09
Actress Jaclyn Smith has moved swiftly to deny reports she shot herself while in Honduras.
The Charlie's Angels star was stunned to hear rumours she had attempted to take her own life and quickly contacted fans through her page on Twitter.com to insist she was alive and well.
The message read: "Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie."
The rumour began circulating after a Honduran newspaper reported that Smith's stunt double on Charlie's Angels, Sandra Franklin, had shot herself by accident.
The first "Charlie's Angels" movie was a lightning strike of sexy, silly, butt-kicking-babe action-flick fun....

Starting in the back, left to right: pea shoots, chia, fenugreek, more chia, sunflower greens, amaranth and flax.
I have a passion for growing and eating the most nutritious foods possible. Without going into a long spiel about compost and minerals and organic cultivation, I can easily share my new love of microgreens. Buy appropriate seeds, plant in shallow trays of good, loose soil, keep moist and out of sunlight to start with, let them grow a bit and green up outside or in a sunny window, then cut and eat. No weeding or cultivating required. Microgreens are bigger than sprouts and contain nutrient levels up to 40 times higher than mature plants. This is because all the enzymes, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants are concentrated in the tiny leaves. Plus when you buy mature greens in the store, they've been sitting around losing more and more nutrients each day.
Microgreens are incredibly tasty. Flavors run the whole gamut from hot and spicy to nutty to mild and buttery. You can google microgreens and find oodles of articles about growing them, their nutritional profiles and how to use them. Not all seeds are suitable but there are dozens and dozens that can be used this way including herbs like dill, basil and lemon balm.
Pea shoots taste just like crunchy, sweet peas!
Growing them is easiest if you have a greenhouse, but they can be easily grown outside on a table in warm weather and in a sunny window during winter. Give them a try and treat yourself to some of the healthiest foods you can eat.
Amaranth is very mild tasting and practically melts in your mouth
Sunflower greens have a delicious, nutty taste and a wonderful crunch
Flax greens have an indescribable taste that my body craves

When Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, football came to an abrupt halt. Large crowds were banned,
stadiums were given over to military use, most players joined up. Then it was realized that if victory was the national
goal, soccer could help - and football went to war. For the next six years the game became hugely important to Britain.
Boosting morale among servicemen, munitions workers and beleaguered citizens alike--and raising hundreds of thousands of
pounds for war funds. It was a game with plenty of human stories. Some footballers were dubbed 'PT commandos' or 'D-Day
dodgers'. Others, however, saw action. Pre-war heroes on the pitch became wartime heroes off it. This book captures the
atmosphere of the time and tells the story of a unique period in football's history.

The Aurunci were an Italic population which lived in southern Italy from around the 1st millennium BC. Of Indo-European origin, their language belonged to the Oscan group. The Auruncan territory extended south from that of the Volsci, in the area of Roccamonfina, between the Liri and the Volturno rivers.
The Aurunci are often confused with the Ausones[1], which however lived in different cities nearer to the Tyrrhenian coast.
The Roman sources describe them as an unevolved population, which preferred to live in defensive villages over the tops of the hills. The Aurunci were allied with the Latin colony of Pomezia, attacked by the Romans in the 6th century BC. the Romans subjected them only after the Samnite Wars (313 BC).
The Aurunci mountains and city of Sessa Aurunca bears their name.
- ↑ 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, wrongly identified the term "Ausoni" with the way Aurunci called themselves.

Halloween jam jar pumpkins
A quick idea to make with the little ones.
Decorate jam jars with orange tissue paper and PVA. When dry cut shapes from black paper and stick on to create spooky faces. Much cheaper than buying pumpkins, a lot less mess and you can reuse them every year! To make it extra safe you could use plastic jars and battery powered candles.

Still life sketchbook - reflections
These are drawing and prints from my still life sketch book on reflections. I approached the theme in two ways looking a still life objects and surfaces that were reflective and using reflective materials and techniques in my work. As you can see the work evolves greatly as the sketchbook develops and by the end I have created a series of screen print ideas that are very far removed from my initial starting points.Board clips continual line drawing

How to make your own exploding volcano
This was from our 'fortunately the milk' project and I must say if you don't mind the smell of vinegar for a bit it's well worth doing as kids love it.
You will need:
- a small pot,
- a tray,
- some playdough,
- 100ml of white vinegar coloured red with food colouring
- two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda.
Mould your playdough around the small pot to create a volcano shape and place on your tray.
We added dinosaurs to our tray, Professor Stegs friends are about to meet a horrible end!
Place two teaspoons of bicarb in the pot.
Pour on the vinegar
Watch the volcano erupt and bring an end to the dinosaur population.
Open a window or do this outdoors as the vinegar reaction can be a bit smelly.

Card making
You may have read in my earlier post this week that I got a new job as a handmade wedding tutor. I also was appointed as a general cardmaking tutor and just thought I quickly show you some the cards I took to the interview with me. I tried to show as much of a range of style and techniques as I could. I wont go into loads of detail about how each card was made, I'll just leave the pictures to do the talking. I will promise to post some card making tutorials soon.

Wedding cards
I have just been appointed as a new handmade wedding tutor this is a new and very exciting role for me and I have really enjoyed making these sample cards. I was asked to bring some examples of cards that could be made on a limited budget but still were classic. These are a few of the pieces I made.
This card was made using brown packing paper, a rubber stamp, rub on letters and a few pearl beads. I attached the design to cream cardstock.
This card was made using brown packing paper that I scrunched first. Some wooden letters and two metal and pearl heart beads stitched on. I then attached the design to white card stock.
Close up of the LOVE card.
This card I made using a piece of embossed paper that I embossed on my sizzix machine, a band of caramel ribbon, a sticker and a organza rose which I finished with seed beads. This I then attached to white card stock.

The organza rose I made myself and will post a tutorial on how to make and use these pretty flowers.
