GeographyThe continent of Australia, with the island state of Tasmania, is approximately equal in area to the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Mountain ranges run from north to south along the east coast, reaching their highest point in Mount Kosciusko (7,308 ft; 2,228 m).
The western half of the continent is occupied by a desert plateau that rises into barren, rolling hills near the west coast. The Great Barrier Reef, extending about 1,245 mi (2,000 km), lies along the northeast coast. The island of Tasmania (26,178 sq mi; 67,800 sq km) is off the southeast coast.
GovernmentDemocracy. Symbolic executive power is vested in the British monarch, who is represented throughout Australia by the governor-general.
HistoryThe first inhabitants of Australia were the Aborigines, who migrated there at least 40,000 years ago from Southeast Asia. There may have been between a half million to a full million Aborigines at the time of European settlement; today about 350,000 live in Australia.
Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish ships sighted Australia in the 17th century; the Dutch landed at the Gulf of Carpentaria in 1606. In 1616 the territory became known as New Holland. The British arrived in 1688, but it was not until Captain James Cook's voyage in 1770 that Great Britain claimed possession of the vast island, calling it New South Wales. A British penal colony was set up at Port Jackson (what is now Sydney) in 1788, and about 161,000 transported English convicts were settled there until the system was suspended in 1839.
Free settlers and former prisoners established six colonies: New South Wales (1786), Tasmania (then Van Diemen's Land) (1825), Western Australia (1829), South Australia (1834), Victoria (1851), and Queensland (1859). Various gold rushes attracted settlers, as did the mining of other minerals. Sheep farming and grain soon grew into important economic enterprises.
The six colonies became states and in 1901 federated into the Commonwealth of Australia with a constitution that incorporated British parliamentary and U.S. federal traditions. Australia became known for its liberal legislation: free compulsory education, protected trade unionism with industrial conciliation and arbitration, the secret ballot, women's suffrage, maternity allowances, and sickness and old-age pensions.

Brigham Young University
Curt Holman
Member Since 1985
It all began in the fall of 1960 with Ben Dehoyos and a team of four couples. Today, almost 30 years later, Lee & Linda Wakefield direct six teams and 80 couples. Despite many challenges and obstacles that have arisen over the years, the thrilling art of ballroom dancing is alive and thriving as never before at Brigham Young University. From it's meager beginnings, social dance, as a partial class offering with folk and square dance, has at last emerged as a matriculated major course of study. The team has toured world wide, and all who have participated have reaped the blessings of the unique ambassadorship only ballroom dancing can offer. Where did this all begin?
In September 1953, Alma Heaton joined BYU faculty, and taught the first social dance class. The fall of 1967, Roy & June Mavor were appointed to be directors of Ballroom Dance Teams. Roy introduced the Medalist System and firmly established International Style into the curriculum. In May of 1971, Roy Mavor took the first BYU team to compete in the British Ballroom Dancing Championships, held in Blackpool, England. This team became the first American team ever to win the British formation championship. In 1973, after Roy and June Mavor left BYU to establish their own business, Emerson & LeGene Lyman were appointed directors of the Ballroom Dance Teams. Emerson expanded the programs to include International Style, Latin dances, International Balls and enlarged the Medalist Program. January 1977, a new social dance team, specializing in American Style, was formed on campus and coached by Lee Wakefield. In 1980, Lee became the artistic director of the Ballroom Dance Company.
For 18 years, Lee and Linda have directed the Ballroom Dance Program at Brigham Young University. Under their jurisdiction the program has grown quickly and has become the largest Ballroom Dance Program in a university in the world. In 1994, Curt & Sharon Holman joined the faculty at the University and now work with Lee and Linda in building and improving the program.
For the last 17 years, the Brigham Young University Ballroom and Latin formation teams have won the US title and numerous times have won the British formation title. The formation team members are also part of a Ballroom Performing Company that tours nationally and internationally, presenting a 90-minute production of ballroom dancing. The company is sought after around the world and is known for the high quality and professional production.
In 1993, BYU was selected to host the World Amateur Standard Championships, and is currently, along with American Ballroom Company, the host of the United States Professional Standard Ballroom Championships.

When choosing an Ok roofer, you want a company that knows the right type of roofing materials to fit the next thunderstorm habits for your location. Listed below are the most frequent types of roof materials and how they would last against Ok weather.Residential Roof
Asphalt ShinglesAsphalt shingles are the most popular roofing materials because they are inexpensive and the most durable. Although they will sponsor up against rough Ok weather, the asphalt lentigo used to make them don't last for very long and are harmful to the planet. You may want to make investments in a longer long lasting, more environmentally friendly roof top.
Fiberglass ShinglesFiberglass shingles are similar to asphalt, except the felt base used in asphalt shingles is changed with inorganic fiberglass, which makes them extremely durable and resistant to open fire and rot. They are pretty cheap, however, the environmental impact is high, so consider many other materials if you're buying environmentally friendly house.
TilesAny Oklahoma roofer will tell you that flooring is the roofing materials that will last the longest with the a minimum of amount of maintenance. The two clay and concrete ceramic tiles are incredibly durable, fire and rot resistant, and come in several colors. Tile roofing require little maintenance, but installation is difficult and should just be done by a professional. Tiles are also very heavy, so they must be used on buildings or homes with good structural sincerity. A tile roof is exquisite for an Oklahoma home if you can find the money for it.
SlateSlate is yet another long lasting, durable materials, nevertheless weight is a major downfall. Also, record can't withstand very much weight, so heavy snow or ice could cause the roof to bust. Homeowners should anticipate to perform frequent maintenance and cleaning on slate roofs.
Wood ShakesReal wood shakes are generally made out of cedar and must be professionally installed and well-maintained if you need these to last. Shakes provide good insulation, but are predisposed to decay and fireplace, and generally more costly than other materials. Unless you consider spending a great deal of time dealing with and maintaining your roofing, cedar shakes might not exactly the best choice for you.
Commercial Roof coveringMetal Roofs
Just like slate and tile, steel roofing is unparalleled in its ability to go through the elements. Metal roofer also comes in a huge number of colors and styles, rendering it a functional roofing choice.Level Roofs
Flat roofing are incredibly common for warehouse-type commercial structures. The main drawback is is a tendency to pool water, so when looking for an Ok roofing company, ensure you find the one which knows the rainfall patterns and installs your roof accordingly.Formula Roofing
Composition rooftops are commonly available on retail stores, banks, and other high-end business constructions. They can be more attractive than a flat or metallic roof and, if properly installed, provide great safeguard against the weather.Research different roofing specialists, compare rates and products, and read reviews from past clients. It's a little extra work, but choosing an Oklahoma roofing company you can trust will save you time and money over time.

In early 2005 this now older idea became innovative when it was used in the cloth diaper industry. The company Mother's Eve was born and used the adjustable elastic idea to pull the rise of the diaper from bigger to small thus eliminating the adjustable snaps that clutter the front of the one size diaper. Although this diaper was a wonderful idea, it closed with a large piece of Velcro that some felt was bulky and unfortunately it fell by the way side.
To find the next adjustable elastic diaper you must follow me half way around the world We will land in New Zealand where Baby Cheeks has developed, marketed and now has a patent on the adjustable leg elastic diaper. As a side note Rocky Mountain Diaper will never be sold or marketed to anyone in New Zealand or Australia in respect of their patent. They are a beautiful diaper with very cute trim like none we have ever seen.
Back in the USA, this idea is now spreading farther, In 2006 a company called Precious Dignity put in adjustable legs in its Clover Fitted Diaper, the diaper adjusts using buttons hole elastic to fine tune the leg fit. It also is the first diaper to have a replaceable leg elastic capabilities. While some might be concerned about sewn on buttons, there is no need to worry about that, Clover has hidden the elastic adjustments into a secure compartment that has no access for children and can be replaced easily. They also have a almost unheard of warranty that will out last not only the diaper but will still be active when you child goes off to college. This is a diaper worth checking out!
Sarah Van Bogart of SoftBums has been in the diaper making business for years now. She realized there was a real need for a diaper that fit all shapes. She soon started to perfecting her original SoftBums diaper and after many testers and lots of patterns she found the prefect fit! This Perfect Fit diaper uses elastic adjustments in the leg that holds tight. She is soon hoping to ramp up production and offer her diaper to retailers so more babies will be able to enjoy a "perfect fit." To check out these great diaper click here.
In 2007 I found out I was expecting again and couldn't wait to cloth diaper the new baby. After modifying several diapers that I had with this type of elastic casing I just decided to try a go at it and make my own. My little diaper soon became popular in my social circle and I found inspiration in our own backyard and named the diapers after the beautiful mountain range we call home. Although I wish I could say that our leg elastic was originally the one of Rocky Mountain Diapers, you can see, we are just a part of the ever expanding companies using the adjustable elastic idea of Heller Max.

Measuring Mechanical Ventilation Airflow
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 03, 2012
If the air in a house were a smoky brown or green and we could actually see particles floating around in it, and if it suddenly became crystal clear when the ventilation system was turned on, it would be a lot easier to convince people that mechanical ventilation is necessary! As the house gets tighter, the effectiveness of the ventilation system becomes increasingly critical. It's critical because people need air to breathe, and we have all sorts of chemicals in our homes that may diminish indoor air quality (IAQ). Cleaners and perfumes, cooked food, and materials that off-gas formaldehyde, such as some furniture, add things to the air that we're better off not breathing.

Gazetteers. You have got to love them to do genealogical research outside the USA. How do you learn the maps of the country your grandparents or great-grandparents knew? Today's atlases or Google Maps only give you the view as of the present (at least point at which it was published). You need an historical perspective. Hence why you need to use Gazetteers. Maps/Atlases give you the picture and Gazetteers give you the intelligence/ontext about the maps.
Here's an list of excellent Gazetteers:
- Skorowidz Miejscowości Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
- Genealogical Gazetteer of Galicia
- Gemeindelexikon für das Königreich Preußen.
- ShtetlSeeker
- Kartenmeister
- Slownik geograficzny królestwa polskiego i innych krajów slowiańskych.
Stanczyk has developed his resource (an index of an index?) on the Skorowidz Miejscowości Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej [Index of Placenames of the Republic of Poland]. The Skorowidz is an excellent resource for all of Poland covering all parts (Russian-Poland, Austrian-Poland and German-Poland partition areas) that were within the borders of Poland circa 1934. This is the resource you need to use to find your ancestral parish. It is online (click the above link to reach the online version). It has a short-coming: it does NOT list the synagogues — pity, otherwise excellent.
The flat out best Gazetteer for its research and even for its included maps to give a sense of location relative to today is Brian Lenius' well researched, Genealogical Gazetteer of Galicia. As its name implies it is only for Galicia, an area that is presently with Poland and Ukraine. This area of historical Poland was in the Austrian-Poland partition and finally eastern parts after Napoleon, were in the Russian-partition. Brian's book does include synagogues! Some treatment of Polish versus German names and Ukrainian names is also mentioned. It is not online. Buy the book if you find ancestors lived in Galicia.
The Gemeindelexikon is a very good resource for what was Prussia (or Prussian-Poalnd) areas. It also indicates the location of parishes and gives statistics for sex, ethnicities, or religious affiliation. It is online in the BYU library. But if you have Ancestry.com, it has a faster and easier user interface to the information.
ShtetlSeeker is part of the JewishGen website and is predominantly a resource for Jewish settlements, villages, synagogues, data, etc. I also use it for my Catholic family villages. It is particularly useful if you do not know the spelling of your ancestral village. It also provides on the map with icons of other resources: Yizkor books, JRI-Poland data. It is by definition online.
Kartenmeister is for those parts of Poland formerly ruled by Prussia. It is online. It is an excellent resource if you only know the Polish name or the German name of a locale and you need to know the other name. It also has maps. It has two mini-lists cross-references: Lithuanian-German-English and Latin-German-English. Which makes sense in that those languages are the language of Prussian records for their territories.
The Slownik geograficzny królestwa polskiego i innych krajów slowiańskych is a multi-volume gazetteer / dictionary of places in Poland and other Slavic kingdoms. The dictionary is written in Polish. It is online here. That is yet another Polish Digital Library that I have written about recently (Malopolska). Each volume (or Tome abbreviated T. or tom.). Some translations are on the PGSA.org website or you use the Google Translator. It is filled with abbreviations (PGSA is helpful).
Here are a couple of more resources…
Family Search with their excellent wiki(s) has a page on Poland Gazetteers. The LDS also have these resources as microfilm or books within their Family History Library.
The LDS also has a PDF (you need Adobe Acrobat Reader) for Finding Places in the former RUSSIAN EMPIRE . This PDF is not a gazetteer, but is a valuable resource. You can Google 'Spisok naselennykh mest gubernii' to find individual volumes in Libraries or possibly online. Finally, see this wiki page for Russian Empire Gubernya Gazetteers.
PGSA.org has a list of map resources here. They also have a project to index the 1907, The Illustrated Geographic Atlas of the Kingdom of Poland . An esthetically lovely historical atlas, with the indexes providing you with an indication of which villages are the parish. Stanczyk indexed the Stopnicki powiat.

The veritable feast of fall exhibitions at LACMA culminates on this three-day weekend in what some might consider the main course: Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy (it is open to members right now, and opens to the public on Sunday). The exhibition fills the western side of the Resnick Pavilion with fifty-six magnificent paintings of the seventeenth century, made by Caravaggio and the many painters who were influenced by his masterful use of light, shadow, and visceral emotion. Along with masters in their own right like George de la Tour, Diego Velázquez, and Simon Vouet, the exhibition features eight paintings by Caravaggio himself—none of which have ever been on display in California before. Gain added insight to the exhibition by attending a free lecture Sunday afternoon by Andrew Graham-Dixon, author of Caravaggio: A Life Sacred and Profane.
Bodies and Shadows, like the Stanley Kubrick exhibition that opened just last week, is a specially ticketed exhibition (we recommend you reserve your viewing time before you arrive). Before you buy your tickets to either, consider becoming a member first. Not only will you receive two free tickets to each exhibition ($80 value right there—practically the full cost of an Active membership), you'll also get twelve months of free admission to the rest of the museum, discounts in the stores and on events, and more. If you're going to come to LACMA even just one more time in the next twelve months, save money—and support the museum!—by becoming a member.
Speaking of Stanley Kubrick, that exhibition has been getting rave reviews and tons of positive comments from visitors on Facebook and Twitter. Give yourself some extra time to become engrossed in the film-by-film presentation in the galleries, which include costumes, annotated notes from Kubrick, photographs, and related artworks. This weekend also sees the start of our Kubrick film series in the Bing Theater, where we will be screening all of his films throughout November and December. Tonight, two of his earliest classics: the grossly underrated The Killing (Tarantino fans: take note if you haven't seen this clear influence on Reservoir Dogs), and the powerful Paths of Glory, starring Kirk Douglas in one his best performances.
In addition to these two most recent exhibitions, there is plenty else to do and see at LACMA this weekend. Families can enjoy our free Andell Family Sunday activities, while the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra will perform Igor Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier's Tale) at our free Sundays Live concert.
We also have seven more major exhibitions on view right now, plus numerous smaller rotations from all areas of our collection. Don't sleep on the excellent Drawing Surrealism exhibition on view in BCAM right now, which features surrealist icons like Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, André Breton, Matta, and many others. Other exhibitions include solo shows by Robert Mapplethorpe, Ken Price, Ed Ruscha, and Walter De Maria.Scott Tennent

Yay! I am back from Vegas and it feels good to be home, the weather in Vegas was ridiculously hot and I honestly missed the 70 degree weather the valley has been having for the past 2 weeks, although this weekend it's supposed to be hot...I can't believe it's been a year since last year's IECSC show, seems like yesterday!
The show in Vegas was nice as always, it's the IECSC show and they don't just do makeup which is always refreshing. They have spa treatments, massages, tanning, hair, nails, makeup, etc. and it's always nice to see new and upcoming companies and their innovative products. The NYX booth had goodies bags with various products at a great deal, like 22 eyeshadows or $15.
I didn't haul much since there's also IMATS this weekend, but I was excited to get my hands on a Konad Nail Stamping Kit! I also got more stencils for it and I loved the results! I will do a full post on it soon and how to use it. I also got the cutest nail dryer ever....it's a duck! I also got my favorite Ojon shampoo since it was more than half off at the show! Retail it's $22 an $18 for the conditioner and shampoo and at the show I got it for $10 and $12! I also got a couple China Glaze nailpolishes, some NYX lashes and a smokey eye palette, and just a couple brushes from of course Crown Brush. I also got 3 Modern Basic lipsticks and a blush which I forgot to take a pic of, so I'll add it in another post later.
Anyway here are some pics!
The outfit:

Crown Brushes had 2 booths:

That may audio similar to a joke with no punchline, but knowing the primary difference amongst these conditions isn't any laughing make a difference. Some will get you in trouble along with the law or having a consumer who expects one thing particularly from you. Here is a temporary manual to the distinction between them: An escort is really a guy, lady, or even couple who give companionship to others in trade for dollars. Escorts are often intelligent, exciting, fun people today that are superior company and know how to behave in numerous environments. They could be booked to accompany somebody into a company party or wedding, into a film, a hotel or their property.
Escorts generally give their time through the hour but can commit days or even weeks using a shopper who pays them for it. It is correctly authorized, and infrequently rewarding to operate as an escort. A prostitute is usually a girl or male (although they're extra typically described as gigolos or lease boys) who strictly offer sexual acts to other folks in trade for dollars. For any person around the age of eighteen, offering and purchasing sex is authorized; soliciting in public or kerb-crawling, jogging a brothel, doing the job being a pimp, or encouraging/forcing any individual to operate for a prostitute isn't. Prostitutes will often be called hookers, whores, street walkers or intercourse workers, and usually speaking, they cost clientele by the sex act and not the hour.A call woman is actually a individual who is effective for a prostitute but not in the brothel or over the avenue.
Get in touch with women are frequently bewildered with escorts, due to the fact they market and meet up with consumers in non-public for a established amount of money of your time. It is lawful to work being a call female. It really is not legal to promote a sexual provider. Special because of Ruth Strawberry for correcting us on this issue. It's an offence to put adverts in phone packing containers. You should click here for more details. Portion forty six(1) in the Criminal Justice and Law enforcement Act 2001 makes an offence to position ads relating to prostitution. Beneath section forty six(one) an individual commits an offence if:
A stripper is another person who requires off their clothes in trade for income. Commonly, strippers work in clubs and bars and can dance and consider their apparel off for groups or people today in non-public booths. Strippers are often hired for stag or hen events, and working like a qualified stripper is completely legal. Even though most are used in 'gentlemen's clubs', numerous are self-employed and produce a great living from it.A courtesan is actually a girl who's the paid companion and sexual intercourse worker of men that are quite wealthy or of the large social standing. These are typically normally the very best paid employees who often have just one or two clients. Their charges replicate their absolute discretion and inconvenience of staying on the beck and call of clients who purchase social or intimate companionship as and when it pleases them. There you have it! The tough guide for the difference between escorts along with the sexual intercourse personnel they are frequently perplexed with.

Shortly after moving in, I experimented with painted kitchen countertops. See step by step what this $20 product looks like, get the DIY tutorial, and see what it looks like now!
Yep… I'm not even going to try to make a pun about this. I painted my kitchen countertops this weekend.
If you haven't been reading this blog long, you may not remember my kitchen story from when we first moved in. Long story really short: Ewww. The kitchen ceiling was orange from years of smoke damage; the floor was yellowed linoleum. The fridge was filthy and I found one of those lovely fingernails you've heard me whine so much about. And the countertops were caked on with so much grease and dust we had to use oven cleaner to remove it. I think I make a pretty good case for why someone would want to paint everything just for the sake of freshening up the place rather than waiting on the true demo and remodeling to begin.
I first heard that painting laminate countertops was possible after reading this post from Brooklyn Limestone. Painted countertops? How? Or more importantly, how much? I'd seen "countertop makeover" kits at Home Depot, but at over $200 a pop, I wasn't ready to take the plunge. Maybe we haven't covered this before, but I'm cheap. If you want me to spend $200, I'm making sure it works first.
But much to my surprise, this particular countertop paint product wasn't $200; it was more like $20. I figured if I'm replacing the countertops anyway, it wouldn't be so bad if I experimented a little and tried out this paint as a temporary fixup… a little lipstick on my kitchen pig, if you will. If I hated it, the wait to replace it with something better would be short-lived. No commitment necessary.
No, I didn't go crazy with the color, but I did use this painting project as an opportunity to figure out how light I would like the countertop to be. Did you have to guess which color I chose? Yup. Gray! It's a sickness, people.
In all fairness, this painting product from the Rustoleum crew has only sixteen color options. Three of them are shades of gray. I chose the middle gray tone, called "Gray Mist".
During my limited time researching this product, I'd learned from user reviews that this stuff was pretty toxic and would take three full days for the paint to cure. Not only that, but the paint would not require priming if I were painting over laminate (which I was) and would stick to just about anything it touches, so it was important to protect anything I did not want to bond with the paint. Like my precious floors. Three old bedsheets drop cloths later, I was ready to begin.
Knowing how toxic this little painting adventure would be, I prepared myself with the basic tools: gloves, breathing mask, foam roller, etc.
It's a good look, don't you think? (UPDATE: The mask you should be wearing is more like this. Please take proper precautions and protect yourself from these harmful fumes. Do as I say, not as I do.)
I found that the paint stick really came in handy on this project. Even though we had a warm weekend (yay!), I had read that the paint consistency would be important if the temps were going to drop lower as the paint dried (per the can's instructions, you should only use this product when temps are between 50 and 90 degrees for three days in a row). I found that the color separated from the tint base quite easily (I'd only bought the paint two days before painting), so stirring it up was key. The paint seemed pretty thin as I ran through it with the foam roller (picked for it's "smooth finish" promises on the packaging), but as I applied it to the countertop, I found the coverage to be quite thick. Here's how it looked after my first coat:
As you can see in the pic, I wasn't exactly trying to color in between the lines; I just slapped on paint where I saw fit. I wasn't trying to hard to make things perfect or protect anything except the floors or appliances. I got too close to the stove only once, and found that if I wiped it up quickly enough, a damp paper towel took care of it fairly well.
Despite my lovely accessories, I could still smell the fumes a little too much. Just warning ya, but this. stuff. REEKS. I kept the windows open all night despite the dip in temperatures just so the fumes wouldn't be hanging out in the house while I got ready for work the next day. Not exactly the wake up call I would prefer, know what I mean?
Okay, so now here's what you've been waiting for… the before, taken during the day…
The second and final coat. This was taken at night just before I went to bed, so I'll try later this week to give you a better "after" shot so you can see the color and finish a little better.
Just for the fun of it, I'll give you a Before & After split screen as well.
I painted this little counter beside the fridge as well, but forgot to take an after pic.
And for the ultimate question: how do I like my results? The answer: meh. I wasn't expecting miracles, and I wasn't 100% in love with the results. The finish was consistent and felt dry to the touch after just a couple of hours, so I'm sure in the three days that it takes to cure, the paint will stick quite well and wear nicely over the next year or so (before we replace them with an upgraded material). I did notice that there were certain areas where the paint appeared to bubble a little, but I think that's probably my fault for not waiting until the temps got a little higher before trying this out. On the bright side, I don't think I want to go gray with the countertops, and it cost me only $20 for a test drive. Once I paint the cabinets a lighter color, I don't think I want to go in the mid-tone range for countertops; either exremely light or extremely dark is what I'm thinking, just so there's contrast. And it's really motivating me to get rid of those dated oak cabinets. I'm thinking white with that gray wouldn't look too bad.
What do you think of my little paint misadventure? A brilliant and inexpensive solution to nasty "I would never eat on that" countertops, or would you have saved yourself the twenty bucks and lived with the old countertops as-is for another year? Anyone out there who didn't realize this was possible but are considering painting your countertops now? Let me hear it.
Psst: Months later, I reviewed the condition of the counters to see how they held up with normal use. Want to see the results? Click here.
Kitchen Remodel Update
After a couple of years, I finally replaced my kitchen counters with inexpensive butcher block, and I LOVE them! You can catch all of the details of the install here:
- Sourcing the butcher block
- Cutting a hole for the sink (and how we fixed our mistake)
- Treating the butcher block for long-term use
- Painting the rest of the kitchen
- What the kitchen looks like now!

I have also heard of threads being deleted on the BC.Com boards for various reasons. One must pay to belong to the Barbie Collectors Club and therefore must abide by the rules of the board. Actually you have to abide by the rules of any board whether it's free or not. It's like visiting some one's house. If they don't want you to smoke or whatever, you can't. That makes perfect sense.
It would be really interesting to find a safe board of any kind where there were no arguments, no attacks, no sideways remarks, no dismissive statements. It doesn't exist. Doll collectors are very passionate - at least the vocal ones are. Apparently, the overlords at the W Club want only the cheerleaders to voice opinions. No wonder it's the same people who post all the time. Out of the possibly 1000 members (many with multiple memberships), barely 50 people ever post. A very small percentage post all the time. In addition people have been viciously attacked off the board by one member in particular. It's not safe and it never was.
Anyone who actually believes that something they post on a board is private, is in dreamland.
Kindly remember to sign your name if you post a comment.

Linda . . .I've followed your newsletter and blog for years now and as a consultant/coordinator for a school district, I promote your books and video workshop to teachers and parents. I do this because your strategies work! They're practical and workable at home and at school. I know. I've used visuals as a teacher, counselor, consultant and parent.Sharon

Bonjour Carol!ReplyDelete
A huge congratulations on the exhibit invite! Hope it leads to media PR leading to sales and commissions!
Of course your adoring groupies will allow a few days with no postings as you prepare. Does this mean matting and framing? Mundane work.

Chère Carol, What memories L'Alliance Française has for me! I spent the summer of 1968 in it, shelving French books, to pay for the French lessons that my Grand'mère's friends gave me all summer. They wanted to help moi, the 'uncultured and uncivilized girl from the Indian Territory' who had an 'incomplete college education'.I enjoyed the Boston area, went on to teach French for 20 years, taking dozens & dozens of students to fall in love with the country of France, just I had done!ReplyDelete

I see that you will be exhibiting at L'alliance Francaise here in Boston in November. How wonderful! What are the dates? I went on their website but they do not yet have a schedule for November. I would love to see the exhibit and perhaps get to meet you as well as live very close to BostonReplyDelete
