Dear Fair Oaks Family,
I am pleased to inform you that Eric has accepted the call to join our ministerial staff team as Minister of Worship and Music. He and Yvette are excited as they consider the prospects of serving alongside of us as we "gear up for growth."
Both Eric and Yvette are currently teaching in Christian Day Schools; their school year finishes around the middle of June. Consequently Eric will start July 1st.
In addition to our music ministry Eric will be overseeing our small group ministry.
Thank you for your prayers and patience as we have carefully searched for the right person. We also truly appreciate Debra and Howard who have stepped up to help us in our worship leadership during this interim time.
Warmly, Pastor Steve McCoy
Also, Eric & Yvette were interviewed for a recent church newsletter; here's the article if you missed it:
Eric was born in Temple, Texas, and is a self-proclaimed "Army Brat." His father's service took them to Oklahoma, Illinois and North Carolina. They stayed in Fayetteville, N.C. for 3 ½ years where Eric was able to attend and graduate from high school. He has a younger sister, Sara, who will be relocating to the Sacramento area this week with her husband who's in the Air Force. Eric's parents currently live in Alexandria, VA where his father, still in the Army, is a 2-Star General stationed at the Pentagon.
He grew up in a strong Christian home with both parents always modeling church leadership by their own involvement in various staff and/or volunteer positions. He always attended church, "starting in the nursery," and always knew of God's love. At the age of eight he started pondering Christianity on a personal level: "How do I know I'm a Christian? Will I go to heaven?" He distinctly remembers an evening in March 1986 where he got out of bed and took these questions to his parents. Their response was to turn off the T.V., get the Bible and tackle each question, eventually leading Eric to receive Christ that night.
His faith ebbed and flowed during his adolescence. Attending camp after his sophomore year and feeling convicted that "his faith wasn't as real as it could be," Eric re-dedicated his life to Christ. As he approached graduation from high school he started feeling nudged to serve in ministry. At the same time, he was feeling pulled towards the military and opted to enroll in the Coast Guard Academy. God continued to nudge him toward ministry, however, and the struggle of what to do intensified. He was advised that if he was going to leave the Coast Guard, it was better to do it sooner than later, so he made the difficult decision to resign. The process to leave was almost as rigorous as the process to get in, but through it all, Eric was always upfront and explained his need to serve. Eric's decision was affirmed when the Coast Guard released him with an honorable discharge.
At this point, his parents were in Dublin, California. He came home to start to looking for a Christian college. During this period, he joined his parents in attending Valley Community Church in Pleasanton. Eric's chosen ministry focus was in worship. While in Dublin, Eric was able to serve as an intern with Tom Grassi, the Worship Leader at Valley Community. This opportunity served as a great affirmation and preparation for service as a worship leader.
Because of finances his search for a college was challenging, but he eventually checked out California Baptist University (CBU) in Riverside. From the beginning, he felt at home and was also very impressed with their music program. He also discovered, while meeting with the Financial Aid staff, that because of his time at the Coast Guard Academy he was able to qualify for a number of government grants and scholarships that paid for his four years at CBU. Eric shares, "God was demonstrating His control and walking him through his decisions. I have no reason to doubt Him and can completely trust His leading."
He started at CBU in the Fall of '96 and met his wife, Yvette, there the following year through a campus ministry they both served with. They both graduated in June of 2000 with Eric attaining a B.A. in Music, with an emphasis in Church Music. After graduation, he took a job as the full-time Music & Youth Minister at a church in Big Springs, Texas. He and Yvette were married in June of 2001 and she joined him there. Interestingly, while Yvette had been born in Texas, she grew up in Concord, Dublin and Livermore. Yvette still has sisters in the area - one here in Concord and one in Castro Valley.
Eric's goal was to get his Masters, so after 3 years he left Texas for Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. He graduated with a Master of Arts in Theology in June of last year. While attending seminary at night, Eric was the Music teacher & Chapel Coordinator at Arcadia Christian School (K-8). He has also taught Jr. High Bible, band and drama in addition to creating a Jr. High worship band.
He thoroughly enjoyed the in-depth study of God's Word during seminary and his time at Arcadia Christian. It's been a lot of work, but God has affirmed him all along the way. When asked what he wants people to know about him, he shares, "I'm an easy-going, easy-natured guy and get along well with people." "I love the Lord and people, and enjoy building relationships."

It's a quick, simple way of keeping yourself organised, keeping lists together, etc. I received a lovely new notebook for Christmas from my mum that I decided to use for this purpose. I like how bullet journals can be as creative (or not) as you want them to be. Today I started creating mine after looking at examples on pinterest and reading this article on Buzzfeed What is a Bullet Journal?

My pinterest board that I intend to keep adding to is found here: My Journaling Pinterest Board

I intend to use it as a to-do-list for daily chores where I can check off completed tasks and migrate tasks that don't get completed. But I also want to use it to record books that I have read (hoping it will encourage me to read more - a goal for this year!) with ratings on the books. I envisage adding doodles and creativity to this journal to make it attractive to look at and therefore use. Other pages I intend to have include gratitude pages, notable quotes, and other trackers that I find I need. That's the beauty of a journal of this type - it is totally flexible and can be altered and added to as I go along. Whatever doesn't work can be dropped and anything new that is needed can be added. I'm excited to have a go and see what develops throughout 2017!

I feel the need and desire to begin journaling again and decided to go back to this blog. I'm writing this blog for my own purpose to document and record my own thoughts and feelings as well as my activity and events. I've created another blog specifically for teaching to keep that separate from my own personal blog. Once that's up and running I'll put the link on here.

It's December 30th, 2016 so almost 5 years since I last posted. To say that a lot has happened since my last post is a great understatement! In a nutshell - I was accepted onto the GTP to train as a primary school teacher here in England. I successfully completed that 1 year course and then completed my NQT year with a year 4 class in a school that almost broke me! I let there at the end of that year and have been at my current school every since, teaching year 2.

My boys are now teenagers and apart from being typical teenagers (!) are good kids. One of them is in his second year of GCSEs and hoping to go on to A levels next year. He excels in maths, science, and computing and wants to study those at college then university. If he ever gets his head down and studies! My younger son will be choosing his options for GCSEs this year and also is strong in maths but is more of an all rounder.

As a result of me being a full-time teacher, my husband now works part-time and does all the household chores. A reversal of roles. He works lunchtime duty at my school (where all the kids love him!) and does odd bits of other cover there.

So that's where we are at the moment in the Brown house!

Update on previous post - last weekend was our trip to Chester. It was flipping freezing so on the Saturday we went to the Blue Planet aquarium and then to Cheshire Oaks outlet. Yummy meals and Krispy Creme donuts were enjoyed by all!!

I was planning on going into Chester on the Sunday but it was just too cold so we had a lazy morning and had lunch out on the way home.

All this travelling was done in my new car! Two weeks ago we bought a Vauxhall Zafira. My old car was getting to the age where it was going to start needing lots of work (read: money) on it. I just felt that now was the right time to trade it in. Our Zafira is just over 3 years old. Its price when brand-new was £18k and we paid £6k. It's only done 16,000 miles and is like a brand new car. It's crazy to think that in 3 years it has lost 2/3 of it's value - a total of £12k!!! One reason I'd never buy a brand new car, thank you very much :D

Also, I'm still using the laundry detergent from the last post. I don't even think I've used half of it! And still loads of the shampoo left (and I wash my hair everyday!).

Will update more interesting news later.

Joanne Brownhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086391871445340457.post-83555764832880532012010-09-19T10:12:00.000-07:002010-09-19T10:32:50.793-07:00Recent BargainsI've booked a one night stay in Chester at a Travelodge for £9 (about $13.50) for a family room. My friend recently went to Chester for a weekend and says it's a lovely city so when Travelodge had their recent sale I booked a room there. We are going at the end of January to tie in with David's work shifts. Can't beat a price like that can you!! The rooms are basic but clean and to be honest, what more do you need for just a one-nighter??

I also got a great deal on laundry products and shampoo at Sainsburys yesterday. Certain laundry products were on offer at half price which in itself is a good deal. But they had an offer where if you bought £10 of goods (including the items that were already half price), you got 2 x £2.50 vouchers - one for laundry detergent and one for shampoo (items that were also in the first deal). Now keep up here because it sounds more complicated than it was, lol. I spent £10 and got 3 bottles of detergent (already half price remember?!), got 2 vouchers. Went back and got more products that totalled £10, used the 2 vouchers previously given, paid about £5 cash. This generated another set of vouchers. Did this a couple more times. Finally, when I'd had enough!! I went back and used the vouchers for a laundry detergent and shampoo and only paid £1.50.

I now have 7 bottles of detergent and 5 bottles of shampoo. The value of these goods is £78.45

 and I paid £24.20!! The detergent should last me at least 6 months and similar for the shampoo (they are big bottles). Deals like this are obviously only good if you actually need the items and will use them and if they don't have expiry dates on! Some people on the forums I visit have bought shelves and shelves of these deals! I only bought what was sensible for me to store.

Then yesterday afternoon I went into Ossett to get a few bits and bobs. I went into one store to get a few items for the freezer and at the checkout I was given 4 packs of yogurt frubes. Each pack has 6 inside. My kids have these in their lunch sometime so are items I normally buy. They are today's date and so they wanted to get rid of them. I brought them home and popped them in the freezer. I'll put one in each boy's lunchbox on a morning when I get them ready. They keep all the other items cold and by lunchtime they have defrosted and are ready to eat! They cost £1 a pack so I received £4 worth FREE. Can't beat that :)

Nathaniel is now in Year 5 and Zac is in Year 3. Nathaniel has the same teacher he had 2 years ago so has just transitioned smoothly. Some of his friends are in the other class and so misses them, but has still got lots of friends in his own class. And of course he can play with the others during playtime. Nathaniel just get on with things. No drama, just plods along! Zac is in the class that I worked in last year so I know his teacher very well! It's a lovely class and he seems to be doing fine, if he just picks up the pace of his work. He struggles with his handwriting (being a leftie!) so it sometimes takes him a little long and looks like a spider walked across his page, bless him!

I'm finding the days busy and speedy! I'm in Year 2 from 9am until 12 noon. Then I assist a Year 3 child from 12 until 1pm. I have a 20 min lunch break then work in Year 4 from 1.20 until school ends at 3.20pm. I barely have time to breathe, but I love my job!! All the teachers, staff, kids are fab!! Couldn't ask for a better place to work!

This next weekend I'm going on a school residential from Friday until Monday so that should be an interesting experience! There will be about 45 eight year olds and 5 adults. I'm really looking forward to it, to get to know the kids better in a different environment. When we get back, we have the Tuesday off work to recuperate, lol.

It's here!! It's here!! It's here!!

My washing machine has arrived!!

My 'man with a van' delivered my new machine, plumbed it in, and took my old one away. All for £30. The store were going to charge £80 for this service. Even if I had been able to collect the machine myself in the car and plumb it in myself, the council would have charged £10 to collect and dispose of the old machine. As soon as it ready, I put in a few shorts and shirts of the boys and put it on a quick wash. 29 minutes later, freshly smelling laundry was pegged on the line. I can't believe how much I appreciate being able to do something simple as laundry my clothes again!! The things we take for granted.

Here she/he (what gender are washing machines?!?!?):

I apologise for the poor quality of theses pictures. I used my iPhone to take them as I had forgotten to take my camera with me. There are lots more pictures on my facebook page. We had a lovely time just walking around the city. We went into the entrance of the Minster but didn't go all the way in as they charge admittance which would have been quite costly for the four of us. The boys enjoyed what they did see of it, however. We marvelled at how it amazing it was that something this awesome could be built without all the technology and machinery we have today. There is no way to get the whole outside of the Minster on one photo because of its vastness. It's truly a beautiful building!

We also walked down the cobbled streets, including the most famous of all The Shambles. I love all the quirky little shops and alleyways!

We went for a walk on the city wall. The wall is 1.9 miles around the city. The boys loved all the information that David gave them on the way around regarding the historical nature of the city. They loved looking through the slits in the stone walls that the soldiers would have shot their arrows through.

York is such a great city and we must go again sometime soon. Even at this time of year the place was heaving with people. I guess it was a beautiful day, around 70 degrees F. And it's such a tourist destination. The little tea-shops were full to the brim and the famous Betty's tea-shop had a long queue outside. I guess tea-shops are so quintessentially English that it's a must for a tourist to visit! When we were walking around the wall, we could see into the garden of a tea shop and it looked so civilised! Ladies sitting out having tea and cakes in an English country garden!

Because yesterday was the last day of the summer holidays that we would all be home together, we decided to have a day trip out. Plus, the weather was beautiful so it would have been a shame to have just stayed home. We debated on where to go and came up with York! It's only about an hour away but somewhere we don't get to very often. Since it was about 10am before we decided where to go, York was perfect as we'd still get there before lunch and have an afternoon out.

Now going to York with David and the boys meant that I wasn't able to go shopping. David suggested I go later in the year with either friends or sisters and go shopping, possibly Christmas shopping, so I'll be sure to do that :) There are so many beautiful shops (with prices to match!!) but what eye candy!!

Here are just a few drool worthy shops I saw. I couldn't take too many pictures as David and the boys were giving me strange looks!

David did comment on the number of jewellery and watch shops and enjoyed looking in the windows, as evidenced below. David likes watches but at these prices (notice the price of the watch at the back of the picture that David liked!!) we gave it a miss, lol.

So I've been without a washing machine for a few weeks now. I have a combined washer/dryer and about a year or so ago the drying function ceased to function! It was fine for washing until the past few weeks. It wouldn't drain the water out. So I had to do it by hand which just isn't fun!! I've been taking my laundry to my mom's to do (she's fab!!) and last Tuesday finally got around to ordering a new one. They called me on Friday to arrange delivery for today. So I got up this morning and called the hotline to find out my 4 hour delivery slot. But of course they knew nothing of my delivery. It hadn't been entered on the system. They said they could arrange delivery for 2 weeks time. Two weeks!!! Mmmm, no way Jose!!! I told them I specifically mentioned that I needed it before Monday 6th since I was back at work then! The lady from customer services just called and said that she MIGHT be able to get delivery for the weekend but didn't promise anything. I'm waiting to hear back. If I don't hear back by lunch I'm going to call them to cancel and order from somewhere who CAN deliver me a machine!! Is it too much to ask that I can actually do some laundry?? And we are actually having some lovely drying weather this week. Just my luck!!Joanne Brownhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086391871445340457.post-21644281374325442082010-08-25T12:42:00.000-07:002010-08-25T13:22:35.886-07:00Thrifty GoodnessMost car boot sales are held on a Sunday, which is infuriating for me as I don't shop on Sundays for religious reasons. So when I find sales that are on a Saturday I get excited (I'm easily amused, obviously). I've been lucky this season to find a few to go to. The biggest and best is at a local rugby union ground. It's HUGE. It takes several hours to walk around. They have one on a bank holiday Monday in May (which I attended) and then one on August bank holiday Monday (next week!!). They have others throughout the summer but on Sundays. I also went to one at a local Catholic church, a couple at a field a couple of miles away, and then a couple just up the road from me. I've just the one at the rugby ground to attend next week then that's it for the year. I can't even tell you how much fun I have walking round the sales!!

So what have I bought this year? Well I've been looking at kids clothes (as usual). I buy jeans and tshirts mainly. My kids wear a uniform to school so only wear regular clothing for playing. Therefore, I don't want to spend a fortune on them! I usually spend either 20p or 50p and item. Last Saturday, I bought 3 pairs of jeans for Nathaniel for 20p each. My kids are growing like weeds!! Nathaniel has just turned 9 but needs age 10 jeans and I look for age 8 for Zach. I was also fortunate to get lots of hand-me-downs recently too so they are well stocked for the next year or two.

I've also been buying clothes for my nephew Eli who is about 20 months old. I've bought some fantastic items, again for 20p or 50p each including designer brands such as Diesel and Timberland. I'm glad I can help out my sister as she has very little time to attend sales herself as she's usually working Saturdays. Plus she's busy renovating a house they've just bought and looking after her little boy while her husband has his own business! AND she's just graduated from university!! Crazy busy woman!! And I have to admit, buying little boy/toddler clothes is far more fun than buying older boy clothes!

On Saturday I also bought a few bits for my mum. I bought her 3 Slimming World recipe books for 50p for all 3 total! And 2 cushions (Ikea) that match 2 she already has for Christmas.

I've been buying myself some fun costume jewellery and accessories this year. I have a drawerful and love to have a rummage in it to find bits to finish off an outfit. I've also been fortunate to find some shoes this year. One pair is from Wallis - black patent heels. Worn once. £1.50. And another sale I found a brand new pair of black patent shoes with cone shaped heel with a strap for £2.00. I'd been looking for a pair exactly like that so was excited and couldn't believe my luck when I found them!! I've also bought clothes for myself. I pay either 50p or £1 an item. In fact, the top I get the most comments on was £1 at a car boot in May!! Most of the clothes are smart clothes for work and church. I get a thrill looking at what I'm wearing when sat in church, knowing how little I've paid, lol. And they all look new!

I've also scored on some fab childrens books too. Again, either 10p, 20p or 50p each. I bought another copy of The Jolly Postman for school as the library copies are a little dog-eared since they are so popular. I bought it along with 2 others for £1 total. I also bought Pigeon Finds a Hotdog which has to be one of my favourite books for 25p. And last week I bought Man on the Moon (a day in the life of Bob) for 50p. At one sale I bought 10 books for £1 including a brilliant one on Ancient Rome that we were able to use at school. I have a 'thing' for kids books. I have to really control myself or I'd buy way more than I do!

I've also bought some magazines because I can't bring myself to pay full retail price. I got a pile of O magazines and some Everyday with Rachael Ray cooking magazines. 20p each is good for me! I've also bought a couple of DVD's for £1 each including Rat Race which the kids LOVE and Juno (which I'd not seen but wanted to!).

I know I've bought way more stuff than listed here - I should have made a list and taken a picture after each one! I'll have to have a wander through the house one day and take pics of things I've bought at car boots or charity shops and pop them on here just for fun. And hopefully after Monday's upcoming car boot sale, I'll have more bargains to show :)

Can you believe that we only have one more week after this one until we go back to school?? It's gone wayyyyy too quickly for my liking!! I was ill for the first two weeks though (some sort of chest infection that rendered me bed-bound!) so that shortened the actual time I had to do stuff and enjoy the break!

We haven't been away (we went on our vacation back in May) so have just pottered around here. Sometimes it's just nice to spend time home, doing very little, just enjoying each others company! We've had crazy weather though - some hot sunny days, some cold rainy wet days, and everything inbetween, lol.

A couple of weeks ago my grandad celebrated his 90th birthday and we all went out for lunch with him. He does so well for his age. He's just decided that he's not going to drive his car on an evening when it's dark as his vision isn't so good when it's not bright. Up until just a couple of years ago he used to go to mainland Europe for a month or so every August - getting the ferry and driving thousands of miles! And he speaks the language of wherever he goes. He can get by in Spanish, French and German. Pretty cool! I hope I'm as active as he is when I'm 90. Although I'll probably be drooling in a corner somewhere, lol.

My washing machine broke a couple of weeks ago so tomorrow I went and ordered a new one. It will most likely be delivered next week. That's one of the exciting things I have to look forward to before school starts again. It gets exciting around here I tell you!! :) I'm sure you're jealous!!

We went to Ikea yesterday as they were celebrating 15 years of Ikea in Leeds and they were selling their hotdogs at 15p at the Bistro. So I pushed the boat out and treated the kids, heck they could have two if they wanted, lol. They had a hotdog and an icecream each. So 50p total per kid. I'm generous to a fault, I am!! I actually had 2 hotdogs (no icecream). £1.30 for lunch. Excellent hee hee.

Nine!!!! Can you believe it?? I certainly can't! He is growing up so fast. And my baby, Zac, is now 7. How I love those boys!! They are so different personality and looks wise.

Nathaniel likes playing with the bigger kids. He's a smart kid too. Loves Math, Science, History. Doesn't particularly like reading, literacy etc. Much more a facts kinda kid. And he know what he's good at, lol. He loves his sports - loves a game of footie and is quite good! He's going into year 5 at school in September. Just 2 more years until he goes to the high school. Gulp!

Zachary is my little cool dude. So loud and confident, whereas Nathaniel can be more of a thinker. He too is brilliant at Maths but he's also a fantastic reader. He loves reading and is flying through the books at school. He's a muscular, tough kid. He plays with kids his age or younger at school. He's very sensitive and has a strong sense of justice. He hates it when people get in trouble for things they didn't do at school and can get emotional about it. He still loves hugs and kisses from his mama!

Both kids are social and popular and are never short of friends. They are generally good kids but do have their moments (usually with each other!!). I do worry about them being sheltered. They aren't very 'street-wise' but I just want to protect them! I like them being at home or with family/close friends. They LOVE spending time with their Nana and Grandad and their other grandparents. They LOVE their aunts, uncles and cousins and are so blessed to have many of them close by.

I know my kids aren't perfect - but they are perfect FOR ME!

For Nathaniel's birthday, we went to Flaming Dragon - an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. He took a friend with him and we had a lovely time. On the way home I dropped Zac and Nat off at my parents where they were having a sleepover. My boys (along with my nephew, Eli) are the apple of my parents' eyes. They dote on those boys and love them as much as I do. They would do ANYTHING for them and they know it :) They wrap my parents round their little fingers, lol. David and I had a quiet night in, watching DVDs and enjoying the quiet!

On Saturday morning we went to a local car boot sale. It was only a small one but I still managed to get a few fun things. I got a small tan leather bag for 50p, a larger Italian leather bag/purse for £3, a Bop It game for £2. Some clothes for Eli (mostly 20p an item, some 50p), a cute cotton tote bag for me made of an retro owl print fabric for 20p, a wooden airplane toy for Ethan for 50p, a few necklaces for 30 to 50p each. That's all I can remember for now! I'm looking forward to the really big car boot sale I go to on August Bank Holiday Monday.

Just 7 more school days to go until the summer hols. It's a long time coming! The summer weather has gone for now but I hope it comes back soon!! I'm actually looking forward to the break so I can get some jobs done around the house before I start my new jobs at school in September. I'll be working 30 hours so won't have much time for house projects!!

Here's wishing everyone a happy week :)

And I've been grinning like a Cheshire cat since :) At the moment I'm working 12 hours a week with a girl with a statement of needs for speech/language. I also supervise an autistic boy during the lunch hour. Well from September I will be working with the same girl on an afternoon and on a morning will now be a TA for a Y2 teacher (who I LOVE!!) covering the whole class. So working a total of 25 hours (not including lunchtime). The headteacher has decided to give me the extra hours and in a younger class on a morning to help me get more experience that will help me get on the GTP for next year. I'm so happy!! I feel really blessed that they are doing all they can to help me. Then hopefully if I get on the GTP next year, I will go back into the class I'm in this year. I need to make the most of these opportunities and use them to their fullest to get me on the GTP and then obtain QTS. I'm finally starting to feel positive and that I WILL get there!! And it's so great to have the support of my school.Joanne Brownhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086391871445340457.post-42677315004819775872010-06-25T16:35:00.000-07:002010-06-25T16:45:08.028-07:00MOJOI'm trying to get my mojo back.

After the disappointment of not getting on the GTP for this year I'm attempting to lift myself back up. I just felt disheartened, gutted, angry, annoyed and other such emotions. I started to doubt my own abilities and potential and need to shake those feelings off. I still have moments when I feel 'why bother trying, I'm probably not good enough'. The fear of future rejection sometimes scares me into thinking can I bear trying again. And I know that's just stupid. And then I hear of other people's successes and that just magnifies my feelings of inadequacy again. This probably makes no sense to anyone. Just what AM I suppose to do with my life???

I've now lost 28 lbs. Pleased about that, but this week I've just eaten whatever I've wanted - pizza, chocolate, junk!! Need to get back on track and get focused! It would be so stupid of me to undo the good I've done so far. So here's to the next 28 lbs!! :DJoanne Brownhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086391871445340457.post-45915167958669256732010-03-04T12:20:00.000-08:002010-03-04T12:38:27.376-08:00Blah-Dom
Oh how I've neglected this poor little blog of mine. Not that anyone has likely noticed, lol. We've had Christmas, new year, valentines while I've been absent. It's just a case of not finding the time!

In January I started a new job at school as a teaching assistant in the mixed Y3/Y4 class and love it! I work 18 and a bit hours a week which keeps me busy! It's so wonderful to get paid for doing something I just love :D

Working as a TA has just made me realise that I want to be the teacher!! So since this 'wonderful' country doesn't recognise me as a qualified teacher, I need to jump through the hoops to get qualified status here. Which is so frustratingly difficult really. There's no way I'm going back to university to get qualified (isn't my 4 years enough??!!) so the best option is the GTP (Graduate Teacher Programme). Basically this is a program for anyone with a degree that is relevant to an area of the curriculum and some classroom experience to gain qualified status. It's a classroom based program which means you are assigned to a school, get paid as an unqualified teacher, and work along another teacher gradually taking on more and classes as the year progresses. It's a year long program. So this is what I want to do. Along with millions of others!! It's ridiculously difficult to get a place on the program. Hundred and hundreds apply for a handful of places. In the school district I work in, there are 6 places for next year! 6! Well I applied but didn't hear anything!! But I also applied for a neighbouring school district (don't ask about the 10 hours it took to complete the application form and self-audit which I sent but don't have a copy as my old laptop died last week!!) which has 18 places available for 2010/2011. Well I have an interview!! In two weeks time! And this interview has been on my mind since I got the letter a couple of days ago. This is my one chance this year to move forward with my career. I want this soooo bad and the thought of messing up the interview, or not being able to impress on the panel my suitability for the program and how wonderful I am(!!) scares me!! So please be thinking of me on March 16th!!! Because not only may I not have a place on this course next year, I might also not have a job at all! Our school is having to make budgetary cuts for next school year due to having to make payouts for unequal pay in past years. So the only place they can make cuts is in TA staff. And me being last in doesn't bode well.

So the last few weeks (and the upcoming weeks) will involve me reading up on all current issues in education to prepare myself for the interview. My head is full of APP, Letters and Sounds, the new national curriculum, AfL, Every Child Matters, Safeguarding Children, Rose Report, blah blah blah blah blah etc!!

I hope to update with good news in the next month or so. If I don't, please be gentle with me! It's been over 17 years since I started on my journey to becoming a teacher. Surely I'm ready!!??!!

Well I went yesterday and lost another 4 pounds. So that's 16 pounds in 8 weeks so I was really pleased about that! I'd like to lose another 5 before Christmas which is definitely realistic. I can tell a difference in the way my jeans fit. I can't wait until it starts to become noticeable to other people, especially since I've not told many people I'm doing it. When people who don't know I'm doing Slimming World comment, then I know it's really showing as they aren't particularly looking for it. So I hope to be able to update after Christmas with news that I've met my mini target :) I'm really positive about doing the program this time around and don't find it difficult at all. I am never hungry as I eat a normal diet. In fact, I could even say that I'm enjoying it!Joanne Brownhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086391871445340457.post-23282989193398385892009-11-18T07:02:00.000-08:002009-11-18T07:07:17.846-08:00Craft Sale - this Friday!We have been so busy lately getting ready for Friday and I'm so excited! I'm kind of nervous too - wondering how people will receive our creations, will they love them like we do!! Finishing touches are being made and inspiration for next years items are being received. No sooner do I finish one project than another one is whirling away in my head! (in fact usually before the current project is finished - so many things, too little time or talent!).

Don't forget that after the event any items remaining will be put on our blog http://cuteasabuttonuk.blogspot.com for sale. That's if there's anything left, lol. Of course there will be! But I can always dream that we will sell out completely within the first hour, ha ha.

Wish us luck :)

If you can't attend the sale, don't worry! We will be listing items for sale on our blog too. We wouldn't want you non-locals to miss out now would we??? :) :)

Please leave honest feedback on our goodies. We are still new at craft sales so appreciate all your comments.

On November 20th, me and my MIL and SIL are having a crafty Christmas sale. This is our second annual sale. We get together once a week and craft various items (and also work on them at home) to sell. This year we are also starting a blog. After the sale, any remaining items will be put on the blog for sale. We are really excited about starting this new venture. We know that not all our family/friends/potential customers will be able to attend on the 20th, so having a blog will enable us to reach more people. I'll add a link to the blog nearer the time, when we've put items on it!! lol.

This year we decided to craft some different items from last year. I believe the star of the show will be the aprons we have made (adult and childrens). We have made some adults and girls from Cath Kidston fabric but at amazing prices!!

I've been busy making crochet flower brooches. At the moment I'm busy with the actual crocheting. Finishing them off will come later. I love making them and hope that people will like them and want to buy them, :) But they aren't limited to just being brooches. They can also be pinned to bags, hats, hairbands, and whatever else you can think of. Here is a sneak peak of a few of them in their natural state (unfinished!). What do you think?? I've also done a few different styles but, if I'm honest, this style is my current favourite.

He seems to be suffering from a lack of confidence at school. He has just started Year 2 and seems to have gone backwards. He is left handed and has always struggled with his handwriting. He is great at reading and also very good at spelling. Today he had 3 sentences to write, each of which contained a spelling word. Well he got all upset and started crying saying he couldn't do it. I know that he can. After quite a bit of coaxing, I managed to get him to spell out the words for me and then write them. He COULD do it, but he didn't acknowledge that he could. I asked him if he got upset and cried at school and he said yes. He said that he can't write sentences and when they were asked to he got all upset and cried (I didn't know this before now). I know that he's a perfectionist and gets upset when he gets something wrong, but now he's getting upset BEFORE even having a go! He's got it in his head that he can't do it when he can. I just don't know what to do!! It's awful watching him get so sad and discouraged, especially when I know that he is a very bright and clever boy. {sigh} - the struggles of being a parent! Oh, and does anyone else thing 'juice' is a difficult word for a 6 yr old to know how to spell?Joanne Brownhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086391871445340457.post-76181332349135427102009-10-11T11:53:00.000-07:002009-10-12T00:04:09.170-07:00Old FriendsThis past week I have been touched by the generosity of an old cherished friend (not that she's OLD but we've not seen each for quite some time, lol).

Imagine my delight when I returned home one day to find a package waiting for me!! All the way from Texas!! I went to school with Anne Marie when we lived in Norway (oil business fathers!). She's one of those kind, sweet girls that your parents are so pleased you are friends with :) It's funny how you can be friends with someone for a short period of time (just a year in our case) but feel a bond and connection. And even 17 years later (gosh it is that long??) I believe that we could pick up our friendship from where we left off. I sooooooo hope that in the next few years I can visit her. That would just be amazing :)

She sent me loads of Big Red Gum which I LOVE. She also sent a fantastic craft magazine that has LOADS of great projects for me to try. AND she also sent me lots and lots of little baggies filled with punchies. Me and the boys can do so much with those! AND she sent me the most delicious smelling lavender sachet she'd made (can't believe she'd not made them before!) with local lavender. I just LOVE LOVE the smell of lavender so this went directly into my bedroom. Mmmmmmm. Aren't I a lucky, lucky girl!! What a special friend Ann Marie is!!

There was frost on the car windows and I could see my breath. I'm so not ready for this weather. Bring back the sun!!Joanne Brownhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086391871445340457.post-37233448410243310332009-09-27T03:12:00.000-07:002009-09-27T03:24:37.989-07:00InspirationsLast November/December time, me, my sister in law Cait and my mother in law Joyce had a craft sale at Joyce's house. We had met together for weeks before making lots of goodies to sell. It feels so good to be creative and then so satisfying when people actually want to buy what you've made! I'm sure I posted about it on here.

Well it's that time of year again that we are gathering together to create for our sale. We have been gathering ideas and excitedly telling each other what we've found!! Well tomorrow is our first official meeting. We will all take whatever materials and stash we have accumulated over the past year and decide on a final list of what to make. We will then get busy making, both individually and collectively. It's always hard to find a suitable amount of time to meet since Cait works at the beginning and end of the school day and I work during the lunchhour! But we do our best, lol.

It's so exciting to get together with others who share a mutual love of crafting. Most of my other friends just don't understand how giddy I get when I see beautiful handmade things that either others have made or I have made. I'm forever reading through blogs of creative people. In fact my bloglines list is crammed full of crafty blogs. I just feel so uplifted and inspired by them. And everytime I see a wonderful project, I put it on my mental list of 'things to make'. Of course I never remember them all! I should really make a written list! I used to do lots of papercrafts (cardmaking, scrapbooking) but lately I've been drawn to crocheting and sewing. Not that I'm great at it - but I'd like to be. And they do say that practice makes perfect!

I've also had the idea of starting a new blog for our craft items. A site where I can put items for sale perhaps. I was thinking that after our sale, whatever is left I will put on the blog for others to buy. I'll put details of that blog onto this once we have created it.

Now look at this amazing scarf!! Isn't it to die for?? FABULOUS!! This will be on my list for after Christmas, when I have time to make things for myself.

I dropped my boys off at my mum's as they are having a sleepover there. I'm working tomorrow but the boys don't go back to school until Wednesday so my mum said she would watch them for me. As my dad is in Houston on business, my mum asked the boys over for a sleepover so that I don't have to get them to her first thing in the morning.

Well anyway, on the way back home I happened upon this:

Now you may have to click on the pic to enlarge (if that works!) or have a good squint. Do you see who that is?? YES its Eddie Izzard!! THE Eddie Izzard, comedian and actor. In case you weren't aware, he is running an unbelievable amount of miles for Sport Relief. How amazing is he?? Read more about it here

Most of Fr. Joe's sermon was based on the first part of to Saint Matthew's gospel:
If your brother sins (against you), go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that 'every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.We not only have a responsibility to do what is right, we also have a responsibility to let others know, in a charitable way, when they are going something that goes against God's law.
Wow! Heavy stuff. It's so easy to sit back and say that doesn't affect me so I'm not going to do or say anything. It's easy to do nothing or to complain about the offender to someone else. I'll just go along and get along. Nope, I'm called to do more.
I've been struggling with this somewhat at work, actually on two fronts. The first is probably the most painful. There's a couple of people to whom Jesus Christ isn't their Lord and Saviour but a swear word. When they've said it, it was like someone stuck a dagger in my heart. I physically hurt. But I didn't say anything. Why?
The other situation is typical work drama. There's a team lead that is not only ineffective, she lies, takes credit for other peoples' work and is incredibly self-centered. But yet we haven't said anything to her about it. We just complain to each other and our management. Why?
I pray that tomorrow, when I go back to work after the long weekend, I can charitably live out Matthew's gospel and Fr Joe's sermon.
Pray for me, won't you?

Straight in with a big question. What's your favourite science fiction movie ever? I went to my somewhat limited shelf space to look at the possible contenders and one film almost lifted me off my feet and slapped me around the face slowly while shouting "Wake up!".
This film has a special place in my memories. I remember walking through Leicester with a group of college friends on the way to see Blade Runner on its release in September 1982. The poster was one of the first things we put up in our student house. I had the Vangelis soundtrack on constant play for ages, and when Susan and I set up house together we even tried to find drinking glasses like the ones in Deckard's apartment.
It is a complicated film with all sorts of baggage in its history. It wasn't a very happy shoot for the production team. Harrison Ford doesn't like to talk about the film and describes his character as a detective who doesn't do any detecting, although I would disagree with that. There's also the troublesome voice over, the tacked-on ending using footage from The Shining, and Sean Young at the height of her crazy movie career. Plus there are seven different versions of this film which has been tinkered with nearly as often as Star Wars.
Yet despite all that it's a great film, with a fantastic atmosphere, and fascinating imagery. I love the future world depicted in Blade Runner, the sets are great, Rutger Hauer has never been better, and the climax of the movie in and on top of the Bradbury building is just great.
Blade Runner is my favourite science fiction film of all time.

Steve, this looks like it will be really cool.ReplyDelete
I was just thinking - it might be cool to try and match each old photo with one taken today. That probably would not be possible for every one, but it would be an interesting way to see not only how things were, but how they have (or haven't) changed over the years.
That exactly what I was thinking of doing. It just so happens that its really cold right now, so scanning and posting is way easier at this point. Once I find some motivation, it'll happen.ReplyDelete
p.s. congrats on being the first commenter, on what I'm sure will be a ground breaking blog that will bring the internet to its knees!!!

It's been a fast week! Slowly getting back into the swing of things after vacation! Sophie came back from vacation skinny, we need to fatten her up. She eats when she is there, but really active. Here she is lazy and sleeps all day! I on the other hand came back from vacation fatter and need to get serious!
Katelyn and I went to dinner with our neighbor the other night. It was fun she is a nut. She has never lived anywhere but here and is very small town. I was telling her the differences of people in WNY vs. everywhere else plus the different foods. I think she was shocked to hear the rest of the world is not all about Wings! While we were looking at the menu she pointed out to Katelyn a sandwich called a BLT and seriously wanted to know if she had ever heard of them, like they are exclusive to WNY. It was all we could do but laugh.
It's finally raining here, it's been the hottest and driest July in many years. Our lawn like straw, really sad to see. The grass is dying but the weeds just keep growing.....doesn't seem right! I hope it rains all weekend.
I hope you all have a fun, relaxing and enjoyable weekend! Stop by Mrs. 4444's at Half past kissin time for more fragments plus she did a great Vlog today!

Results 1 to 6 of 6
Some question, maybe some answers.
After more that a year of playing with my RXP I need the some assistance. I know the help is right here on GH.
This weekend went out and tested my final upgradings. I have to say I'm at altitude of around 4500 ft. With my A/F ratio's around 12.5 to 13.5 with my RRFPR. I also have a 15-20 solas and other upgrades as in my signature. My concerns are that I only saw 980 mbar (14.2psi) boost levels at my maximum rpm of only 7950 to 8050 this with a ET 70-145!
I have a pump wedge, should I remove it? I also have a 81mm nozzle ring what should the size be for my impeller size? What is the absolute maximum rpm I can use my stock motor internals without blowing it up? I will upgrade the internals (valves, oil nozzle, flywheel bolts ect) as I reach the stock motor limits. Should I open the pump nozzle or bend the impeller to up the rpm or both? I did not use GPS to measure speed this weekend, my bad, but I need to get the rpm up before trying to get speed numbers better.
My thoughts are to open the nozzle to 84mm and keep the impeller, get the rpm to 8400rpm and this will get the boost up to 16psi??? I also saw a p0545 code, exhaust temp sensor grounded, visually inspected wiring and all seems fine. Where should I start to rectify?
Please comment....
First check a/r ratio, second what injectors are you using, what is the slip set on the charger
I would keep the 15/20 and 81 ring nozzle
Injectors are GH 48# and my A/F was 12.5 to 13.5. Rather let me ask, what should it be, fos forced induction isn't this ok, or should it be more rich? The slip hasn't been tested again what is correct settings for a ET 70-145. Bought it from this forum second hand.
A/F MUST be between 11,8~12,2
set the slip on the charger @ 19ft-lb
Welcome to the world or RAD. At your elevation 4,300 ft. your rad will be below 4,000 ft in the winter and could be up as high as 8,000 ft RAD in the summer with heat. For every 1,000 ft of RAD you can figure about 100 to 120 rpm loss. Those are my findings.
If your seeing 14+ psi boost at 8,000 rpm then I would have to say your charger is setup correct.
As far as your AFR, what rpm are you seeing 12.5 to 13.5???
If that is at wot your are way lean and need more fuel, which should be easily corrected by adding fuel to your RRFPR.
Usually adding fuel is a none issue at elevation, its usually the removing fuel and still have a good tune that is more difficult.
So give back some more info on AFR at idle, mid, and WOT.
Running at altitude or high RAD takes a totally different tune then these guys at sea level.
What i have noticed the most, at 5,000 ft + RAD it is very hard to get the last rpms out of the ski.
What i mean by that, is, it takes alot more pitch out of prop to go a certain amount of rpm. For instance a -1 mm bend out of prop might bring up rpms at sea level aprox 100 rpm. At 5,000 ft rad it takes more pitch removed to gain that rpm back. It is almost like hitting a wall. The ski may run awesome up to a certain rpm and then take tons of tunning just to gain the last 100 to 200 rpm.
I never have been able to get a 81 ring to work for me at 5,000 ft RAD. I have the best luck with 83 ring.
As far as the internals, it may be a blessing you are only turning 8,000 rpm. I would not push it much further without some head work (valves, springs,) and fly wheel bolts replaced oil reg replaced in head, or you might have to replace more then that pretty soon.
I am sure ski has 100 + hours being 04 so sooner the better on the internal upgrade before you turn the RPM up IMO.
Good Luck!!!!

JEM Rebates and Special Offers
The marketing
department decided Jem needed an unusual pet. So they
came up with a hot pink llama.
Rama Llama was designed to include the blanket (only
slight altered from the original design), her llama
brush was blue, but she was also designed with neckpiece
that had some designs from the blanket, a purple bowler
hat (similar to Carleigh's hat), a pink hat box
and a mint green food dish. Most of the accessories
were cut to keep cost down.
Rama Llama was 100% designed for Jem; any rumors that
she was acquired when Hasbro bought another toy company
are not true. She was never going to be a crossover
between Jem and My Little Pony. She was only offered
as a My Little Pony mail-in because she was already
produced and ready to be sent out for the Jem mail-in
offers -- just away to move product.
Thanks to the My Little Pony mail-in (Pony Llama Friend) we have Rama Llama
today – it's hard to say how many, if any
were sold though the Jem mail-in. And the Glitter'n
Gold World Tour in package offer was never actually
placed in a box.

Dawn hasnt woken up the sleeping city; yet. He hovers over her, like a lover, about to wake her up, but reluctant, distracted by the splendour of her spread out, defenseless, guileless, silent, in his thirsty sight.
The sky is dark. The street lamps sweep down, casting irregular orange pools of light, swelling and ebbing like tides. The few people out, walk silently, hurrying to work; or stand silently smoking outside doorsteps, as if proud to have lived to tell, through another day. The joggers go quietly by, as if a little ashamed of their obscene cheerfulness, in the face of the adult, matter-of-fact normality, crawling the streets like dawn-ants.
The buses move swiftly through deserted roads. Like long distance athletes. stretching and warming up, before the main section of the run begings
In the half light, the old buildings tower above menacing, yet benign. Like tired giants of society men, the builders, the business men, the real men, who built the city and now weary, rest. In a corner, the dark shape of a bird of the night, sweeps suddenly down from a corniche. How many ages had he rested his immense wings?
At intervals, the swanky modern offices and malls glitter with gorgeous golden lights, each more resplendant than the next, like glamourous, exquisitely non-functional, heart stoppingly just-for-moment, stunningly beautiful, array of beauties at a society ball.
Theres a magic in the hush. In the horizon, dawn is stirring; the battle between hunger to hold the city awake, and watch her supine, atlast won. Birds and Robins bravely venture forth. Children wake up and are got ready for school. Men are fed and sent of for another day. The city wakes. A new day, begins.

Australian Brumby Challenge ©
We had a good week this week, Pip is progressing well. I am starting to think about the type of home I want her to be in. I hope I can find the perfect person to love her.
Monday: Again Pip had Monday off, the weekends are always so busy and full on she deserves a rest.
Tuesday: I rode Pip and we got our canter leads on BOTH sides and cantered a lap of the arena. So that was great, she has a great canter, very comfortable, uphill and forward but she also tried to stop at the gate Every. Single. Circle. I laugh at her, looking for the easy way out.
Wednesday: I long reined Pip, this went pretty good. She doesn't really understand to going forward part of lunging so that's a challenge but she did pretty well this day with the rope behind her bum.
Thursday I had to pick up some hay so I thought while the float was on I would pop Pip on and have a little practise. It didn't exactly go to plan, it was getting dark, she kept backing into the tree next to the driveway and the breaching door kept falling in but after about 15 minutes I got her on, on my own so I was happy with that. Some things are always going to take longer and I didn't really set myself up for a win with it getting dark.
Friday: I got Pip used to the clippers, I am going to have to clip her. It's too hard to dry her when I ride her so I just worked my way up to her face with the clippers, she was a bit hesitant at the start but aren't all horses. She settled quickly so that's great. It will make it heaps easier to clip a calm pony.
Saturday: I was lucky enough to have Michelle Knoll Photography come out again and take some photos and videos. I think its about Pip's 6-7th ride with the bit and saddle. We are now cantering over jumps and getting more forward. We still need more work on steering but that will come. I was so happy with the photos taken and the video!
On Sunday I clicked it up a notch. She didn't want to be lunged and just wouldn't move so this wasn't ideal. I ended up just giving up and riding her. She falls in on the left rein so I worked on getting more bend and picking her shoulder up. She got the hang of this. It wasn't perfect but improvement so that's all I can ask for. We did have a few cheeky pigroots. This is purely me asking for her to go forward and her finding it a bit hard. This doesn't bother me at this time. It's definitely not nasty and just a small protest asking if she has to.
Seeing as 2 weeks ago I was just getting on with the saddle and halter I am happy with how we are progressing, what a good little pony. We got our minor and major goals yay!
Week 8:
Minor Goal: Work on steering
Major Goal: Get more long and low work happening

Its Crazy Daisy! Alida and Buffalo filled with excitement, tumbled and skipped suddenly climbing into the barrel where Crazy daisy lived. This world held endless possibility, yet with limited space there was only room for the girls and Crazy Daisy. In the dark barrel rolling into the unknown they offered the magic chalk dusk for Crazy Daisy so that the ever exciting adventures could become reality.
As Crazy Daisy accepted the magic chalk dust, the world was plunged into complete darkness. Alida and Buffalo hands slipped into one another's as they trembled with fear and anticipation. A flash of light, followed by an explosion of every colour of the rainbow meant only one thing. Crazy Daisy had a special surprise ready, more excited than ever Alida and Buffalo close their eyes and opened them to the shuttering sound of the sky turning blue.
Unable to speak, Alida and Buffalo tumbled and turned as they tried to find Crazy Daisy. Slowly rolling out of the barrel back into the sea of snap dragons they look all around them and see only clothes. Dresses, skirts and shirts covering every corner of the back yard. Crazy Daisy had left them with a new friend, the clothes monster. Yet this monster was not one to be frightened of, rather the clothes monster showed Alida and Buffalo the possibility of becoming whoever you wanted simply by putting on a new shirt. This new friend, the clothes monster, was so much fun and to thank Crazy Daisy Alida and Buffalo made the most magic dust anyone had ever seen.
