Well, guys, the time is running out, so you better make plans for your weekend perfectly because I know that you would not want to miss the fight of Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor. The fight is set to take place on Saturday, 26 August at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, USA. And I can tell you that the whole sporting world will slow down when these two legends collide.
So let me tell you something about the records of these two legends. Floyd Mayweather is coming out from a two-year retirement for this fight. The legendary boxer has never lost a fight and has won 49 fights of which 26 were knockouts. Now, let us talk about the Ultimate Fighting Championship's legend McGregor. He has won 21 times (18 knockouts) out of the 24 matches that he has played.
Now you were here to know the predictions, well, I know it, and I can guarantee that you will be shocked when you will see the last prediction of the match because that is a surprise I've kept for you all. But before going into the predictions, you must know a few things about the fight. So, let us head down towards them.
Conor McGregor has finally got himself in shape by weighing in at 153 pounds on Friday, and it is just below the weight limit that is of 154 pounds. On the other hand, Mayweather who is smaller in size and height than McGregor weighed in at 149.5 pounds.
During the event, McGregor was all fired up and said that he would nearly weigh 170 pounds in the ring. To this Mayweather gave a stunning reply, he said, "Weight doesn't win fights, fighting wins fights. It won't go the distance, mark my words. This will be Conor McGregor's last fight also."
Guys, you will be thrilled because we have a lot more comments like this for you.
We all know what this fight is about, it is money baby! So what are the expected payments for both the fighters? Let us talk about Mayweather first. The boxing legend is guaranteed to make $100 million for this fight. This is the same amount of money which he received for his fight against Manny Pacquiao but in reality, he made more than that, and same is expected here.
Now, it is Conor McGregor's turn. The UFC champion will make somewhere around $30 million.
Let us now come to the predictions. I know you are waiting because there are many surprises for y'all.
Despite being a boxer, the former Heavyweight Champion thinks McGregor will beat Mayweather in the first round itself. He said, "I think he will knock him out inside the first 35 seconds like he did to Jose Aldo, to be honest."
Mayweather - 0, McGregor - 1
The four-time Super-middleweight Champion, Carl Froch thinks that there is nothing that can save Conor McGregor. The retired boxer and current analyst for Sky Sports said, "I can't sit here and tell you what McGregor needs to do because there is no real formula to beating Mayweather."
Mayweather - 1, McGregor - 1
The former boxer, Chris Eubank is supporting Conor McGregor. He said, "McGregor has got cauliflower ears. He's MMA. What do we know about those guys? They can take punishment. And Mayweather will have to punish him."
Mayweather - 1, McGregor - 2
Anthony Joshua, the current Unified World Heavyweight Champion is supporting Mayweather but just for one simple reason, and that is his undefeated streak.
Mayweather - 2, McGregor - 2
Joanna said, "Of course Mayweather is one of the greatest athletes and he is one of the best boxers of all time, but Conor's mental game is on a different level."
Mayweather - 2, McGregor - 3
The former World Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson thinks that McGregor does not even have a chance of landing a single punch on Mayweather. He said, "McGregor is going to get killed in boxing. He is going to get knocked out because his opponent has been doing this since he was a baby."
Mayweather - 3, McGregor - 3
The former UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez puts his money on Conor McGregor. He said, "Conor has about three or four rounds to get this done ... Within those four rounds, if you don't think Conor can knock this guy out, you're an idiot or you just don't know fighting because it can very well happen."
Mayweather - 3, McGregor - 4
The final WEC Featherweight Champion and the first UFC Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo thinks that McGregor does not have a chance of winning. He is the same person who was defeated by McGregor in 35 seconds. Funny, isn't it?
Mayweather - 4, McGregor - 4
The former three-weight World Champion, James Toney thinks that Conor McGregor will only make money with this fight, but he has no chance of winning because he is a UFC fighter.
Mayweather - 5, McGregor - 4. Mayweather is finally ahead.
The Irish professional boxer, Michael Conlan said, "The only chance I give Conor is his self-belief. He has self-belief I've never seen before."
Mayweather - 5, McGregor - 5
Now time for some entertainment with confusion.
Sylvester is not sure but thinks Mayweather is tough to beat. In the caption of the video he wrote, "I came across this item ... Connor is long long shot but he is a SUPER WARRIOR! .. Floyd is going to be almost impossible to defeat!! Good luck and be safe to both Warriors!"
I think both deserve the point here.
So, Mayweather - 6, McGregor - 6
I don't understand how Conor and Floyd are disrespecting the sport.
Now I present to you what people think about this match and their predictions, by the way, thanks, Google!
Despite so many predictions supporting Floyd Mayweather, people think that Conor McGregor has a chance of defeating him.
Tell us about your favourite among these two in the comment section.

Hello Games' Sean Murray offers a positive update on the development of No Man's Sky, saying that although the project is challenging things are 'going well'.
To say that No Man's Sky developer Hello Games has had a rough couple of months would be to put things mildly. After delaying their highly anticipated space exploration title yet again, the developer was met not with positivity and praise but instead the team received death threats.
Since delaying the game, however, development appears to be "going well," according to Hello Games' Sean Murray. In a blog post added to the No Man's Sky site, Murray gives a brief update on the game, suggesting that the project is on track for its August release date.
Of course, Murray alluded to the negativity surrounding the most recent delay, but thankfully did not call attention to the death threats. He also mentioned that there has been plenty of positivity thrown the development team's way as well; so it wasn't all hate.
As one can imagine, a game like No Man's Sky is a massive undertaking, with Murray calling the game, "The hardest thing I have every worked on." Certainly, a game where players can explore and explore and never see anything, no matter how hard they try, sounds ambitious.
That being said, many have questions about No Man's Sky, specifically with regards to the moment-to-moment experience. While space exploration has its inherent appeals, one doesn't need to look too far to see gamers wondering what the actual "game" of No Man's Sky will be. We know that the end goal is to get to the center of the universe, but outside of that it sounds like crafting and improving one's ship and defenses will be too primary goals, along with learning and translating the in-game language.
Overall, it appears Murray's blog post was meant simply to be as transparent as possible with gamers heading into the release of No Man's Sky. Considering how blindsided some were by the most recent delay, perhaps Murray felt it important to reassure fans every step of the way. Not to say that was necessary, but the death threats must have convinced him and the team that there are some very eager fans out there.
For now it's the waiting game with No Man's Sky, and the good news is the game is not on track for anymore delays. Obviously stranger things have happened, but a developer coming forward to offer a positive update suggests that, barring any unforeseen problems, the road is fairly clear.
No Man's Sky releases August 9, 2016 for PC and PS4.

I'm about to write a eulogy for my grandmother. First, I need to write this. (I wrote about the renewal of her marriage vows here.)
My 85 year old grandmother (Winca Jewreen Graves Waltonen, who always went by Jewreen) died on Tuesday. She was married for 63 years, has 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
Growing up, I only had one grandmother–her–though I had two great-grandmothers. My grandmother was more like a mother in my childhood, however, as she raised me for three years when my mother couldn't and had me for every summer and school break thereafter. Granddaddy (whom I call "Daddy" since that's what he's always been to me) had just retired from the military when I went to live with them. They were building a house–all by themselves–on the land my grandmother's ancestors had claimed in Bay County, Florida, before Florida was even a state. (She has certificates for being both a descendent of Florida pioneers and of the confederacy.) Although she had moved with her Air Force husband to various points in the US and Europe, now it was time to go back home. I was the first extra child to move in with them in a small, round, two-bedroom house in a Florida forest, but not the last. They have only rarely lived together without a child or grandchild who needed a soft space to fall. When I had nowhere else to go after Alexander was born, Daddy picked us up from the hospital and took us home.
My grandmother was a unique and strong-willed person. Granddaddy often teased her about being a savage, based on a homestead without paved roads, childhood pets that included a deer who was allowed in the house (and even to eat off the dining table), and a strong desire to never wear shoes (this is where I get it, people!). She met my grandfather on a blind date and married him the same year. When her first daughter was 2, she gave birth to triplets. She often had to raise them alone for long stretches, as my grandfather served in both Korea and Vietnam. Grandma is still angry about Vietnam protestors (she has no pity for the Kent State students)–she won't watch movies with Jane Fonda or anything by The Smothers Brothers. (It was my grandfather, though, who introduced me to The Smothers Brothers via audio cassettes he was hiding on the porch.) Although she's traveled, she never lost even a bit of her Southern accent, but would get mad at waiters who would bring her ranch instead of french dressing, even though what she said was invariably "franch."
She was a great cook, a solid disciplinarian to her children, a sewer of matching clothing. By the time I lived with her, though, she didn't do much sewing. She seemed to retire a bit when Daddy did, so she would mend, but not sew. She stopped canning and baking. When I was very little, she and Daddy would visit friends and go square-dancing, but, fairly quickly, they retreated deeper into the forest. The few friends who hung on had to visit them, as they only left the homestead for groceries and doctors' appointments. Grandma, who was a great lover of nature, spent more and more time indoors. Daddy continued to work outside, to farm, to master computers so he could do extensive genealogical research, to read a variety of texts. Grandma read romance novels contentedly.
Her family became her whole life (instead of the maybe 85% they were before). She worried about us, prayed for us, praised and chided us to each other.
She was not as hands-on as Daddy with the grandchildren. He would read to us and play with us. She wanted us in her lap. I became a Daddy's girl, following him around the property, having him teach me rhyming games, teasing and being teased lovingly. Grandma nurtured me with food. When I was very young, I was under weight, so I was plied with small amounts of beer to increase my appetite. When it was discovered that I would eat almost any part of a pig and any fish that was fried, they were produced in abundance. We shared a belief that the best thing about a fried chop was gnawing on the bones (Daddy didn't do that with us). My trips back home always included fried fish–both from her kitchen and from my favorite fast food fish place–and lots of fried okra.
When I was a teenager and started becoming interested in cooking, Grandma and I were really able to bond. Her recipes were not written down, nor did she ever use a measuring cup. I followed her in the too-tight kitchen, writing down what she did with the most loved recipes. A few I adapted later, but most remain the same in my kitchen. Measuring cups are still unused.
She has not been happy with my life choices–I shouldn't live in California, I should be married with more children, I should be a housewife, I shouldn't like The Simpsons because it's an immoral show since Bart talks back–but she has always been very proud of me because I can cook. It is what she brags about with me and what the men in my life who've met her always brag about to her.
I have to admit that it hurts to know how unalike we are. Our tastes differ in entertainment (except TCM), in politics, in social policy, in intellectual pursuits, in beliefs about equality/race relations, etc. There's no way she would have liked me if we hadn't been family.
It hurt her very much when I moved to California to pursue my PhD and, more importantly, my place in the world, which, frankly, was just not in Northern Florida. She wanted me to give up Alexander, so he would be raised apart from California values and in the bosom of the family. She said, when it was clear that I was leaving, that she might as well die. It was only a little easier when some of the younger grandchildren followed my example to be beyond a few hours' drive away.
Even though I was out of her physical orbit, however, I was never out of her heart. And even though we were so fundamentally different, there were some very important things that link us: We both believe the moment when Yul Brynner puts his hand on Gertrude Lawrence's waist in The King and I is one of the sexiest moments in movie history. We both know about the pleasure of a pork chop bone. We both laugh more than most people, especially when we're in pain. We both know that the first thing you should do when coming home is removing your shoes. We both know that she is lovable–when she turned 80, I gave her a list of the 80 reasons why. We both know that my last meal will include fried okra if I have any say in the matter. We both give people recipes with vague measurements because we just "know" how much of everything there should be. We both believe her husband is the best man in the whole world.
I'll put up some recipes of hers over the next few weeks. First, want to share her BBQ Meatloaf. It is the only meatloaf I've ever had. When I was younger, I didn't understand why people spoke of meatloaf with derision, as it was one of my favorite things. What it was, of course, is that they hadn't had my grandmother's, which was never dry, never flavorless. When I first saw someone else's meatloaf, I decided to stick with what was great. Here it is; measurements are approximate.
Grandma J's BBQ Meatloaf
1 lb. ground beef
1 tsp onion salt
salt to taste
1/2-1 c. bread crumbs
1 8 oz can tomato sauce (my change in the recipe is to use a 16 oz can so I can have more sauce)
1 egg
2 TBS brown sugar
1/2 tsp dried mustard (Coleman's)
2 TBS vinegar (I use a bit less)
a few ounces of water
Mix the ground beef, onion salt, salt, egg, and 4 oz of the tomato sauce. Form a loaf. Place the loaf in an 8 oz greased baking pan.
Mix the remaining tomato sauce (in the can) with the sugar, mustard, and vinegar. Add enough water to reach the top of the can. Pour over the meatloaf. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. (No need for ketchup on your leftover meatloaf sandwiches–the sauce will be even better!)
PS–I tried for over an hour to insert a couple of pictures into this post. It's just not working. However, you can see pictures of my grandmother at the link in the very first line.
As many of you know, I love trying new recipes. In the past year, I've had the pleasure of trying some very good ones, which I share now in hopes that you'll share yours with me.
Leek and Ham Quiche: Ian approved!
Ham Tetrazzini: Alexander thanked me for dinner and praised this one.
Slow-cooker lentils with chicken and potatoes: Melissa Bender turned me on to this.
Okra-Grits Casserole: The website says you're making polenta, but you're making grits, y'all!
Balsamic-Glazed Drumsticks: need more be said?
Pesto Chicken (in a crock pot): the picture on the website does not do this justice.
Crock Pot Ratatouille over Goat Cheese Polenta: the Polenta was the best part–feel free to top with other things or eat on its own.
Lohikeitto (Cream of Salmon Soup): This seemed to be the national dish of Finland when Alexander and I were there, so I had to learn to make it when we got home. Vanessa likes it so much that she had me make it for our Christmas Eve dinner. (I add about a tablespoon of butter at the very end–and more salt and pepper.)
Sriracha Chicken: I omitted the onions, but it was still yummy!
Cilantro Chicken with Peanuts: Vanessa got me hooked on this.
And then for dessert: Salted Caramel Pie!
You'll notice that many of the recipes feature a slow cooker. It's my favorite way of cooking. (And thanks to Ian, who gave me a new crock pot.)
Time to share–what did you make this year that I should try?

We've also planted some peas, basil, scallions, green beans, yellow squash, zucchini, and one green pepper. (I accidentally picked up green instead of red!) In another bed, I am trying to grow some cilantro. I'm not overly hopefully with the cilantro, but I thought I'd give it one more try. I cannot wait for fresh veggies!

We're going to plant the milkweed plants in the back yard this weekend. I was told if we plant it, the monarchs will come. The place where we ordered the eggs sent some milkweed seed, and those will go in the ground, too. How fun would that be for the girls!? Well, and me, too. I'm very excited to see the metamorphosis and wouldn't mind having our own little butterfly nursery in the yard!

THE Malaysia Taekwondo Clubs Association (MTCA) wants the Malaysia Taekwondo Association (MTA) to review its request for clubs to join the national body based on its terms and conditions.
"We laud the decision of Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said to re-register the MTA but there are several issues which MTA president Ho Kham Phaw raised that need to be addressed and clarified.
"We also beg to differ with Kham Phaw's statement that the MTCA is not a recognised body as we are registered with the Sports Commissioner's Office under the Sports Development Act (1997).
"Our registration was approved by Tan Sri Elyas Omar on July 1, 2005 and our constitution states that the MTCA is the controlling body for all taekwondo clubs in Malaysia," said MTCA president Chee Hock Choong in a statement yesterday.
"While we may not be a member of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), we are legally registered in accordance with the laws of Malaysia."
The primary reason for the creation of the MTCA was to give taekwondo clubs an umbrella to shelter under following the deregistration of the MTA on May 6, 2005.
"While the initial members of MTCA were former associate members of MTA, our membership has been growing steadily and as the controlling body of taekwondo clubs in Malaysia, MTCA is now the legal body to develop taekwondo at the clubs level in the country," said Chee, adding that a thriving club structure, which taekwondo has, was also the vision of Azalina's and that the MTCA is actually the first national level club association.
"However, I would like to stress that MTCA is ever willing to work with anybody to develop taekwondo in Malaysia but, again, I have to refute the MTA president's statement that no conditions have been attached for clubs rejoining it.
Former associate members received a document from MTA inviting them to rejoin by July 31, 2007, which by itself is a condition as it was stated that failure to do so would be deemed that the associate members are not interested in rejoining MTA.
The document also came with 10 other conditions, among which was: "That an associate member's privileges shall be decided by the MTA Council from time to time."
Given their fraught relationship previously, this condition, among several others, had made the MTCA and its affiliates uneasy, he said. — Bernama

Northeast User Group Leader Summit
O'Reilly Media and Microsoft
Saturday, May 2, 2009 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Join us on Saturday, May 2 for a special Northeast community/user group leader summit.
Together we can help each other by sharing our experiences of running a user group.
We will be focusing on the mechanics of running a group, not the technical content, so pretty much anything goes.
Proposed topics include:
- Building community
- Finding relevant meeting topics in today's economy
- Attracting and keeping members
- Using social media and other tools to get the word out
- Working with vendors
- Collaborating on group events
We'll have a few set sessions to help get things started but then the rest will be decided by you and your peers in typical Unconference-fashion. You can list your sessions on our wiki here:
We've also invited a few community experts too; stay tuned for the confirmed list.
We've also invited other industry notables, including Google, Red Hat, Sourceforge, Wiley, Wrox, Safari Books Online, Addison-Wesely, Pragmatic Programmers, Microsoft Press, No Starch, and APress.
Space is limited, and unfortunately we can only invite 2 members from each user-group.
O'Reilly Media and Microsoft are hosting the event at Microsoft's newest campus, the New England Research & Development office (NERD) right in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. This fantastic space is right on the Red Line of the MBTA, and there is ample on street free parking available.
This is a free (as in beer) event, and we'll provde some snacks and beverages throughout the day.
The event will run from 11AM-5PM; Reception following; doors open at 10:30.
We're looking forward to a great community event!
This event is for technology-based user and community groups in the Northeast.

Today's Devotional
Matt 4:18-25
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him. 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. 23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.
As soon as they dropped their nets and followed him, they became healers alongside him. That's the gift and blessing of becoming and being a follower of Christ – healing power that comes from Him and His grace, drawing others to Him in your witness. Being a channel of His love, light, grace, and peace in your own unique way as God designed you.
What is your net? What net are you tangled up in that needs to be dropped? So that you can be a follower of Christ and be a channel for His love, light, grace, and peace to enter the world through you in a unique way?
What is your net? In what, if anything, are you tangled? What needs to be dropped? Ask Him.
Prayer: Lord God, please help me to drop my net today. Show me what it is and give me willingness to drop it so that I can bear witness to you and follow you in whatever unique way you have called me to.

I was feeling really good, but the last little bit I have noticed a few things- even with the pounds off and a noticeable difference in the way my jeans fit (I can slide them up and down without unbuttoning them) I still feel really puffy and bloaty.
Also, everything has been tasting extremely salty to me. I haven't been adding extra salt to things, and using low sodium versions when available but things have just not tasted right- still good, this is so hard to explain, but I just had a feeling of blech - and that is really odd, like I said, the food tasted good but wrong. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me but there you have it.
I guess it's like this - when I ate a ton of fast food, it tasted good- now, if I get a burger from a fast food joint, I literally taste the grease, can feel it coating my tongue, my throat, my insides going down. (Every now and then I still grab one but I much prefer making our own at home.)
Dev said the same thing about snack cakes recently- and remember, she's the sweet hound, but she said you know how good those delicious cream filled cakes were to me- well when you don't have one for a long time and then eat one you literally think "eww how could I ever have liked these- she can tell the cream is oily crap, the cake is overly sweet etc. Now she's not about to give up her sweets, nor should she, but I believe she'll be making better choices and eating "real" food when she does it.
So, although eating this way is continuing to work, I am ready to move on- to eat to feel good and not worry about the scale, though I am sure that will continue showing an improvement as well.
I am going to continue sharing my journey, but this time instead of eating to lose weight I will be eating to feel great! I hope you will join me as I take things to the next level.
XOXOX Dddiva
For the record, consumed today was: fruit- lots and lots of fruit, it's in season and sooooo delicious- strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, pineapple, cherries and honeydew melon; the best best best grilled portabella mushroom "burger" on a sesame seed bun spread lightly w/mayo with grilled yellow squash, baby spinach, tomato; most of a Smart Ones tv dinner; coffee; unsweetened iced tea; water; Crystal light pomegranate lemonade.
If you want to see my plan, track my progress and get the recipes, you can find them here in eating to lose weight.

Promotion and Protection of Investment
(1) Each Contracting Party shall encourage and create favourable conditions for investors of the other Contracting Party to make investments in its territory, and admit such investments in accordance with its laws and policy.
(2) Investments and returns of investors of each Contracting Party shall at all times be accorded fair and equitable treatment in the territory of the other Contracting Party.
National Treatment and Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment
(1) Neither Contracting Party shall in its territory subject investments or returns of investors of the other Contracting Party to treatment less favourable than that which it accords to investments or returns of its own investors or to investments or returns of investors of any third State.
(2) Neither Contracting Party shall in its territory subject investors of the other Contracting Party, as regards their management, maintenance, use, enjoyment or disposal of their investments, to a treatment less favourable than that which it accords to investors of any third State.
(3) The provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) above shall not be construed so as to oblige one Contracting Party to extend to the investors of the other the benefit of any treatment, preference or privilege resulting from:
(a) any existing or future customs union, free trade area or regional cooperation organisation or similar international agreement to which either of the Contracting Parties is or may become a party, or
(b) any international agreement or arrangement, or any domestic legislation, relating wholly or mainly to taxation.

Such compensation shall amount to the genuine value of the investment expropriated immediately before the expropriation or before the impending expropriation became public knowledge, whichever is the earlier, shall include interest at a fair and equitable rate until date of payment, shall be made without unreasonable delay, be effectively realizable and be freely transferable.
(2) The investor affected shall have right, under the law of the Contracting Party making the expropriation, to review, by a judicial or other independent authority of that Contracting Party, of his or its case and of the valuation of his or its investment in accordance with the principles set out in this paragraph. The Contracting Party making the expropriation shall make every endeavour to ensure that such review is carried out promptly.
(3) Where a Contracting Party expropriates the assets of a company which is incorporated or constituted under the law in force in any part of its own territory, and in which investors of the other Contracting Party own shares, it shall ensure that the provisions of paragraph (I) of this Article are applied to the extent necessary to ensure fair and equitable compensation in respect of their investment to such investors of the other Contracting Party who are owners of those shares.

The subrogated rights or claims shall not exceed the original rights or claim of such investors.
Settlement of Disputes Between an Investor and a
Contracting Party
(1) Any dispute between an investor of one Contracting Party and the other Contracting Party in relation to an investment of the former under this Agreement shall, as far as possible, be settled amicably through negotiations between the parties to the dispute.
(2) Any such dispute which has not been amicably settled within a period of six months may, if both Parties agree, be submitted:
(a) for resolution, in accordance with the law of the Contracting Party which has admitted the investment to that Contracting Party's competent judicial, arbitral or administrative bodies; or
(b) to international conciliation under the Conciliation Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law.
(3) Should the Parties fail to agree on a dispute settlement procedure provided under paragraph (2) of this Article or where a dispute is referred to conciliation but conciliation proceedings are terminated other than by signing of a settlement agreement, the dispute may be referred to Arbitration. The Arbitration procedure shall be as follows:
(a) If the Contracting Party of the Investor and the other Contracting Party are both parties to the convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and nationals of other States, 1965 and the investor consents in writing to submit the dispute to the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes such a dispute shall be referred to the Centre; or
(b) If both parties to the dispute so agree, under the Additional Facility for the Administration of Conciliation, Arbitration and Fact-Finding proceedings; or
(c) to an ad hoc arbitral tribunal by either party to the dispute in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, 1976, subject to the following modifications:

Disputes Between the Contracting Parties

(2) If a dispute between the Contracting Parties cannot thus be settled within six months from the time the dispute arose, it shall upon the request of either Contracting Party be submitted to an arbitral tribunal.
(3) Such an arbitral tribunal shall be constituted for each individual case in the following way. Within two months of the receipt of the request for arbitration, each Contracting Party shall appoint one member of the tribunal. Those two members shall then select a national of a third State who on approval by the two Contracting Parties shall be appointed Chairman of the tribunal. The Chairman shall be appointed within two months from the date of appointment of the other two members.
(4) If within the periods specified in paragraph (3) of this Article the necessary appointments have not been made, either Contracting Party may, in the absence of any other agreement, invite the President of the International Court of Justice to make any necessary appointments. If the President is a national of either Contracting Party or if he or she is otherwise prevented from discharging the said function, the Vice President shall be invited to make the necessary appointments. If the Vice President is a national of either Contracting Party or if he she too is prevented from discharging the said function, the Member of the International Court of Justice next in seniority who is not a national of either Contracting Party shall be invited to make the necessary appointments.
(5) The arbitral tribunal shall reach its decision by a majority of votes. Such decisions shall be binding on both Contracting Parties. Each Contracting Party shall bear the cost of its own member of the tribunal and of its representation in the arbitral proceedings; the cost of the Chairman and the remaining costs shall be borne in equal parts by the Contracting Parties. The tribunal may, however, in its decision direct that a higher proportion of costs shall be borne by one of the two Contracting Parties, and this award shall be binding on both Contracting Parties. The tribunal shall determine its own procedures.
Entry and Sojourn of Personnel
A Contracting Party shall, subject to its laws applicable from time to time relating to the entry and sojourn of non-citizens, permit natural persons of the other Contracting Party and personnel employed by companies of the other Contracting Party to enter and remain in its territory for the purpose of engaging in activities connected with investments.

Application of other Rules
If the provisions of law of either Contracting Party or obligations under international law existing at present or established hereafter between the Contracting Parties in addition to the present Agreement contain rules, whether general or specific, entitling investments by investors of the other Contracting Party to a treatment more favourable than is provided for by the present Agreement, such rules shall to the extent that they are more favourable prevail over the present Agreement.
Entry into Force
The Contracting Parties shall notify each other when the constitutional requirements for the entry into force of this Agreement have been fulfilled. The Agreement shall enter into force thirty days after the date of receipt of the last notification.
Duration and Termination
(1) This agreement shall remain in force for a period of ten years and thereafter it shall be deemed to have been automatically extended unless either Contracting Party gives to the other Contracting Party a written notice of its intention to terminate the Agreement. The Agreement shall stand terminated one year from the date on receipt of such written notice.
(2) Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement pursuant to paragraph (1) of this Article, the Agreement shall continue to be effective for a further period of fifteen years from the date of its termination in respect of investments made or acquired before the date of termination of this Agreement.

We have heard a lot of rumors about HTC building a smartphone running Windows Phone 8. Now WindowsPhoneBlogging has posted all the key specifications of the phone rumored as Harmony, which it claims to have been revealed by a company insider. The leaked details of the phone suggest that it could possibly be a Windows Phone 8 version of the HTC One as it will most likely come with One-like 4.7-inch display and other features.
Reportedly, the phone will come with a 4.7-inch LCD3 full HD display with 1080p resolution, as was seen on the One. It is likely to come with Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update, and might as well feature an UltraPixel camera, BoomSound and Beats Audio as well. There is no hint on the processor, though on the memory front it is believed to come with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. All of this sounds promising and indicates that this will be one of HTC's premium phones for the year.
HTC is not only one brand, as recently even LG was reported to have a Windows Phone 8 smartphone in the pipeline.
As far as the launch date for HTC third Windows Phone 8 smartphone is concerned, it is reported to be unveiled in the October-November time frame.

'Final Fantasy XV' release date news, patch updates: Day-one patch details revealed
The much-awaited franchise installment "Final Fantasy XV" has just gone gold and it is only about a week away from its release date.
Fortunately, it seems like the good news doesn't end there just yet. Square Enix recently revealed the details for the day-one patch of the title, which is part of the studio's efforts to give the best gaming experience to eager players.
According to Square Enix, the post-launch update for "Final Fantasy XV" will contain many new improvements for the game, particularly for its contents, Siliconera reported.
First up, the camera in "Final Fantasy XV" will get receive an improvement once the day-one patch rolls in. This update will reportedly "make it easier to track action going on in narrow areas" for the players.
There will also be a new mode in the game called "Wait Mode." As explained in the patch notes, this new mode will put the game on "wait" whenever the player stops issuing commands.
Square Enix has also added an item in the game called a "Monster Whistle." As the name implies, this whistle is used to call out monsters whenever the player wishes to fight more foes.
Another interesting content that the studio included in the patch is the addition of event scenes from the movie "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" and the "Omen" trailer to the game.
For the fans who enjoy collecting items while gaming — especially the die-hard in-game item collectors — Square Enix has added a gallery for the recipes and fish varieties in "Final Fantasy XV."
And lastly, a Social network function has also been added into the franchise installment, particularly for the ones who enjoy posting their achievements or taking photographs online through Facebook or Twitter.
In other news, "Final Fantasy XV" producer Haruyoshi Sawatari has considered adding another playable character in the game in the form of a paid downloadable content (DLC) character, such as Luna or any other heroine that will soon be introduced.
The multiplayer co-op mode in "Final Fantasy XV" — called "Comrades" — is going to be released as part of the company's Season Pass for DLCs, past reports revealed.
"Final Fantasy XV" is scheduled to be released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Tuesday, Nov. 29.

The Commonwealth Property Office Fund (CPA) has reported a 43 per cent fall in net profit to $145.4 million for the year, in what it said was a tough market, but the result was affected by property revaluations.
The more accurate earnings measure for real estate investment trusts recommended by the Property Council of Australia is funds from operations, with CPA on this measure rising 3.1 per cent to $207 million, up from $200.8 million.
Analysts said the FFO accounting measure was a new global standard recommended by the PCA with most REITs undertaking to report on that basis.
CPA's annual distribution was 6.55¢ per unit for the full year, up 7.6 per cent on the previous year, and reflected a 74.3 per cent payout ratio of FFO. This was in line with expectations and the dividend will be paid on August 28.
CPA, the subject of a proposed internalisation by its manager, the Commonwealth Bank, forecast an unchanged distribution of 6.55¢ for the 2014 year.
The managing director, property, at Colonial First State Global Asset Management, Angus McNaughton, said on the internalisation that "given it's a matter for the independent board committee and the robust governance controls in place ... it's difficult to answer any questions regarding the topic". He also declined to comment on the option DEXUS Property holds over 14.9 per cent of CPA.
The fund manager of CPA, Charles Moore, said the past year had been one of "execution" with the acquisition of a further 25 per cent in the Sydney CBD office building at 201 Kent Street for $77.3 million, taking its ownership to 50 per cent.
On the leasing front, the fund said it had signed a contract for 15,000 square metres at 385 Bourke Street, Melbourne, which agents speculated was for Tru Energy/Energy Australia, boosting the fund's national portfolio to 96.2 per cent occupancy.
In Sydney, CPA was in discussions for some of the 12,000 square metres of empty space at Grosvenor Place and had signed a lease with lawyers Ashurst at 5 Martin Place.
"Notwithstanding a solid 2013 financial year performance, we remain cautious about the year ahead," Mr Moore said. "While signs are emerging that the global economic environment is improving, this is yet to translate into business confidence which, upon its return, will drive stronger office leasing demand in many of the major Australian office markets. We are encouraged by positive indicators such as rising global stockmarkets, a lower Australian dollar and stabilising business confidence."
CPA hit by revaluations
The Commonwealth Property Office Fund (CPA) has reported a 43 per cent fall in net profit to $145.4 million for the year, in what it said was a tough market, but the result was affected by property revaluations.

European Innovation Partnership on active and healthy ageing - Moving forward
Demographic ageing is one of the most serious challenges facing Europe today. The number of European citizens aged 65 and over will double over the next 50 years, from 87 million in 2010 to 148 million in 2060.
While this presents a specific challenge for European care and social systems, it is also an opportunity to redesign these systems in the interest of patients, healthcare systems and the innovative industry. The European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) has been set up to respond to these challenges.
In November 2011, the EIP on Active and Healthy Ageing delivered a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) identifying priority areas and specific actions, for public authorities, businesses and civil society (see IP/11/1309, IP/11/519).
Today's Communication from the Commission is the concrete follow-up for implementation of the specific actions. This includes: inviting stakeholder engagement; setting up a marketplace for innovative ideas; addressing regulatory and standardization issues. This will improve elderly citizens' lives, help them to contribute to society as they grow older, and reduce pressure on health and care systems. This will contribute also to sustainable growth.

Wall Street stocks scored large gains Thursday, with the Nasdaq finishing at a fresh record on revived hopes about US tax cuts under President Donald Trump and greater economic optimism following solid earnings.
US stocks have been pressured over the last month or so as the Trump economic agenda has languished and worries about Syria, North Korea and the French presidential election have come to the forefront.
But US stocks shook off those doubts. French stocks also scored strong gains, while markets in London, Frankfurt and Tokyo treaded water.
A batch of largely positive earnings reports and a more upbeat tone from executives boosted confidence in US growth.
"Not only have the earnings been good, but there's a good picture being painted by the CEOs," said JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade.
Analysts also pointed to remarks from US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin expressing confidence in enacting tax cuts this year.
"What Mnuchin said is what the markets have been wanting to hear," Kinahan said. "Him giving that ounce of hope was great."
Kinahan said confidence action from Washington can be ephemeral and rumor-based, but that there remains an underlying sense that "something is going to get done" on taxes, the key to stock market rallies since Trump's election.
The Nasdaq finished at 5,916.78, up 0.9 percent, and about two points higher than the prior record set in March. Nasdaq companies with gains over one percent included Apple, Facebook, Netflix and Starbucks.
The French CAC also had a good day, winning 1.5 percent as a batch of polls showed centrist Emmanuel Macron in first place, increasing confidence he will make the run-off after Sunday's vote.
But equity markets in Tokyo, London and Frankfurt were flat ahead of Sunday.
"It was another jittery day for stock markets. Investors have been juggling multiple sets of corporate results while staying mindful of global geopolitics. That makes a strong directional move difficult," said Jasper Lawler of London Capital Group.
"The risks surrounding the first round of France's presidential election this Sunday have been keeping investors cautious," said LCG's Lawler.

text: Frequently my mother is not able to open her mouth wide enough to get food in. She typically has a voracious appetite. It is difficult to know if is she is choosing not to eat or isn't able to open her mouth. On days when she is not able to open her mouth we have been feeding her with a syringe. She is no longer able to suck liquids through a straw so liquids are administered solely with the syringe. Is this typical for some PSP'ers and what are you doing to maintain fluids and nourishment?

Baby boom generation, irreligion and obesity
The baby boom generation was born between the years 1946 and 1964.
In 2011, the Pew research foundation reported concerning the United States:
|Younger generations also are significantly less likely than older ones to affiliate with a religious tradition. This pattern began in the 1970s when 13% of Baby Boomers were unaffiliated with any particular religion, according to the General Social Survey. That compared with just 6% among the Silent generation and 3% among the Greatest generation.[3]
On February 5, 2013, Business Insider wrote an article entitled Baby Boomers Are Fatter And Lazier Than Their Parents' Generation in which cited statistics indicating that the baby boomer generation has greater problems with obesity that the previous generation and is also a generation which is less physically active.[4]
The Silent Generation was born from 1925 until 1942. They preceded the baby boom generation.
According to the Gallup Inc., "Very religious Americans are more likely to practice healthy behaviors than those who are moderately religious or nonreligious."[5] For more information, please Atheism and obesity

The roses on the top and left are mine, Benjamin did the one on the right! :) He loves to make me laugh! Not to bad for his first try! :)
Here is my cake with all that sugar on top! This was my last class for Wilton 1. I still need to practice all that I learned. Its pretty time consuming after you make the cake, figure the color sequence and then actually make the cake look pretty!
It was pretty hard at first working on my roses. But I realized that my frosting was just way to thick. I spent most of my time at class struggling with the frosting stiffness. I had to use the roses that I made for my cake even if they looked terrible! I managed to squeeze out some, but I was not pleased and I did not want to use them for my cake! All in all I received my certificate of completion, but I went home and took off the ugly ones and worked my frosting until it was the right consistency. And sure enough I popped out some really pretty roses! :)

Letterman knows how to handle a scandal
That's not the case this time. In case you missed it, here is what happened in Dave's own words:
Needless to say Dave is not going to come out clean from this one. Even though he did not outright state it, it seemed implied and I think most people will assume Letterman cheated on his wife. He will have egg on his face for a while for sure, but in the big picture Letterman played the whole situation perfectly. Today's headlines are about how someone was trying to extort him, not his affairs. Even Dave's mea culpa ended up being more of a story about how the man who wanted 2 million from him was arrested and now faces charges. Letterman will undoubtedly get ratings boost from this, and he not only helped catch the man allegedly trying to extort him, but, by publicly admitting his mistakes, he obliterated any chance anyone else had of making money off it. For those not wanting to watch the video, the man was allegedly threatening to write a book and screenplay about the affairs unless Letterman gave him $2 million. Either way, it appears he was looking to make a buck off of Letterman's secrets. Now they're not secrets anymore, and the only thing the guy is likely to get for his alleged efforts is a few years in jail.

I highly recommend anyone interested in reading Deadpool start with Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan's 2012 series. These are the two authors currently writing Deadpool and their writing is both hilarious and heartfelt. The series starts off with a fun, light story about Zombie U.S. Presidents, and slowly builds up to a book that is one of Marvel's best.
Below is the complete Deadpool (2012) to current, in reading order. The book Dracula's Gauntlet is a mini-series which is important to the main series. When you reach Millionaire With A Mouth it might feel like you missed a volume, but you didn't. Every Marvel book skipped ahead 8 months after Secret Wars.

In May 1967, Enrique's family arrived from Cuba to New Jersey. A few years later, Enrique's father, Innocent Reyes and uncle, Justo Reyes undertook their very first bakery shop. In 1972, they decided to move the shop to Miami, FL in the hopes of establishing their business. Enrique grew in the industry and learned the art of cooking and baking, becoming an extraordinary Master Baker & Chef. With time and searching for a better future for his family, Enrique moved to Texas in 2009. Where he began working as a manager for a supermarket chain. However, with the restlessness of establishing his own business and seeing that there was not many Cuban cuisine he opened his first Cuban restaurant in Austin, TX, along with wife and daughter. The doors of Tropicana Cuban Restaurant opened on September 4, 2010.

More and more victims of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake are reporting that they are suffering from visions of ghosts and other supernatural sensations.
The disaster brought many people face-to-face with death and many believe the apparitions may be a manifestation of their emotional wounds.
As Japan has no governmental office that deals with this kind of issue and many people feel uncomfortable consulting family members, leaders from several different religious organizations in Japan have come together to provide emotional and mental support for the victims.
An elderly couple living in temporary housing in Sendai, the largest city in Tohoku to be impacted by the disaster, went to visit to a local Jōdo Buddhist temple earlier this month. After exchanging greetings with head priest Mizuki Nakamura, the couple confessed they were troubled by something they felt was supernatural and they didn't know who to turn to for help.
"There's someone at the temporary housing grounds. We think that something may have happened there," said the husband.
Mr. Nakamura offered to hold a mass for the dead at the grounds and after completing the ritual the couple thanked him with an expression of relief.
Many victims report seeing more vivid images, such as eyeballs appearing in puddles of water or people walking on the surface of the ocean.
Others say that they've been visited by the ghosts of missing family members, begging to find their bodies and give them a proper burial.
However, like the elderly couple in Sendai, many of these people don't know how to cope with such problems.
The Sendai branch of the United Christ Church (UCC) in Japan currently provides emotional support services regardless of religious affiliation. "The government can't do anything about it and it's difficult to discuss the issue with family or other people in the neighborhood," says Reverend Naoya Kawakami.
Working together the UCC church is head priest Taiou Kaneda of Tsudaiji Temple in Miyagi prefecture, who adds: "Regardless if they are real or not, these people are seeing apparitions. We weren't prepared to lose all of those lives. Religion must patiently give counsel to these people until they can accept the death of their family and friends, until they can lift their heads up again."
The two are a part of the Miyagi Prefecture Religious Institution Liaison Council, which provides telephone consultation services with monks and priests of several different Buddhist and Christian sects.
Mr. Kaneda urges anyone to call freely for disaster-related support in general, not just supernatural issues.
At the invitation of the neighborhood council head, Reverend Kawakami and Mr. Kaneda visited a temporary housing settlement in Sendai last September to give a lecture on the issue to residents.
"Many people passed away, so it is natural for you to see their apparitions. Please do not be scared," spoke Mr. Kaneda. "This can also become an opportunity for you to take a moment and think about life and death for yourself. You should make this a first step towards moving forward in this life."
In Ishinomaki city, Miyagi Prefecture, Christian priests and Buddhist monks of the same organization held an informal discussion at a Buddhist temple on Christmas day. Organizers believed the location and time made it easier for residents to get together.
And since the Liaison Counsel holds no particular affiliations, people feel much more comfortable discussing their issues with them than they do with government officials.
Mr. Kaneda comments: "There are no sects or churches when we are faced with the wreckage of our own homes and doctrines hold no water before the absurdity of nature."
The Miyagi Prefecture Religious Institution Liaison Council can be reached via free dial at 0120-828-645, Wednesday and Sunday from 3-10pm.

They've never, repeat never, proven that CFCs are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. It wasn't until the 70s that anyone even knew of the existence of holes in the ozone layer; and that's only because they'd just invented the instruments to measure it. It would be more probable to attribute the holes to magnetic storms and solar flares and ejections.
Banning CFCs is just another stupid cause that liberals need to feel good about themselves.
Bannin CFCs is BS. They're being banned purely because they can and for no other reason.they ca
no no no~!
They are not banning CFC's "because they can". Follow the money. there is a very real reason they were banned.
They are banning them because the company that makes them had a patent that was expiring. Anybody could start making it. So they would have lost BILLIONS of dollars
So they got their own product banned for 'environmental' concerns and (Surprise~!) they make the only replacement product. Nevermind that the new replacement is way more toxic and harmful...
Thanks DuPont~!

Michelle Englot and her team from Regina made quick work of Yellowknife's Kerry Galusha in Saturday morning's play at the 2009 Schmirler Curling Classic, pushing their record to 2-1 and remaining in contention in what's emerging as a very tough group.
Galusha started well, stealing a single point to open the game. But then the wheels fell off Galusha, as Englot scored three in the second end, stole three in the third and stole two more in the fourth.
Galusha had seen enough at that point; make the final: 8 to 1.
Englot is still in the hunt for a playoff spot but has a long, tough row to hoe: her next opponents are the World Champions from China, skipped by Bingyu Wang, to be followed by the always-tough Janet Harvey of Winnipeg.

Since our blog was inspired by Richard Sherpard's Linguini Incident, it only seemed logical to attempt to get an interview. My sister scoffed at the idea, how could a small, beginner's film blog get an interview with a director? But, Richard Shepard kindly accepted and here we are with, what I hope will be, the first instalment of our interview.
While watching the movie, few questions came to mind, but which ones could I ask… Here are my first questions:
JJ. Wooden: What was your inspiration for the Linguini Incident and what films influenced your style? Did you have a precise idea of where you wanted to go with the film?
R. Shepard:It's been about 27 years since Tamar Brott and I wrote THE LINGUINI INCIDENT. I actually don't remember what the inspiration was. We were both into magic. Tamar had been a NYC waitress. I do remember we went to Reno a few times and stayed in cheap hotels and wrote the script. In Vegas Tamar saw a ghost in the old Sands hotel. I do remember that. As for the title we both wrote ten words and put them in a hat. We then pulled two. Linguini and Incident.
We wanted to write a female driven film. And we wrote it without concern for financing or casting. Just to write something odd and unique and for us. We wanted Richard E. grant for Monte (I later worked with him on my Jude Law film DOM HEMINGWAY) and wanted Madonna to play Lucy . We sent Bowie and Jagger the script on a lark to play the Andre Gregory/Buck Henry roles. We never heard from Jagger, but Bowie got back to to us and said he wanted to play the lead (!). that was crazy. I remember flying to Philly to meet him as he was on tour. I was unconvinced as only a stupid bratty 24 year old could be about Bowie starring, so i flew there to meet with him,and of course was completely convinced he would be amazing. Rosanna read the script in her agents office and contacted us out of the blue. Marlee matlin also contacted us out of the blue and we changed the role to make Jeannete deaf. The script had a weird traction in Hollywood. The movie, unfortunately never quite found the zeitgeist . You should read my filmmaker magazine article ESCAPE FROM MOVIE JAIL http://filmmakermagazine.com/archives/issues/fall2005/line_items/movie_jail.php#.WG0ywlcldAY
to fully understand the original reaction to the movie…
JJ. Wooden
(Thanks again !)

Muslims Hope to Take Over Catholic University
Godfather Politics Some Muslims are getting smart. They've learned some lessons from the Communists, especially Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937). Gramsci broke from the revolutionary methods of the early Marxists. Today's smarter Muslims don't want to blow up stuff. Like the Gramsci Communists before them, they are working to take over our culture from the inside by using our laws against us. No shot needs to be fired. No building needs to be blown up. They are going after the foundational institutions: schools, media, politics, and the courts. This was Gramsci's contribution to the cultural revolution. While Gramsci remained a committed Communist, he was a new-breed Communist.
To change the culture, Gramsci argued, "would require a 'long march through the institutions' — the arts, cinema, theater, schools, colleges, seminaries, newspapers, magazines, and the new electronic medium [of the time], radio.â€[1] Catholic World News reports that Muslims attending Catholic University of America are using our nation's anti-discrimination laws against the University:

Herb gardens and fun read aloud are great ingredients for family time
Gardening with kids offers many benefits
Children love to dig in the dirt. Many schools now have a garden space on the school grounds that students can use to plant vegetables or flowers. Preschools and kindergartens also include gardening in an early childhood curriculum. Gardening can also be a great family activity that even the youngest child can participate in. Gardening with children offers the opportunity for an activity that gets children outside. Gardening with children also offers a variety of learning activities. Young children can use seeds to learn sorting skills, classification skills, and matching skills. Seed packages create reading skills. Children can match seeds to the pictures on the packages for sorting . Seeds can be sorted according to size or color. Pictures from the seed packages can be cut to create labels for garden spaces where each seed is planted. Measuring skills are learned when the garden space is laid out by using measuring tools such as a ruler or yardstick and tape measure. Writing skills can be added when children use a garden journal to keep track daily, weekly, or monthly of the growth of their plants by drawing pictures and writing words to describe their plant. Young children may draw pictures or cut pictures from seed catalogs to add to their journal or plant book. Gardening promotes both early reading and early math skills.
Tips for gardening with kids
An accessible spot for gardening at home should be in a safe area in order for children to participate in planting and caring for the plants. Choose a good site that can be used for plants that require both sun and shade. Most plants require at least six hours of sunlight. A garden rake, digging spade, and a hoe for turning the soil are all available in child-size tools for safety. A watering can that is easily handled by children is also needed. Label stakes are also needed for children to place by each space that contains a seed so that the plant can later be identified. It is also a good idea to teach children to use gardening gloves.
Herbs make a great choice for gardening with kids
Herbs are a simple choice for a garden when choosing suitable plants for children. Herbs offer the opportunity for children to touch, smell, and later taste when using their herbs for a cooking project. Sage comes in many varieties and colors. Pink, green, and gold sage will delight children with the choices in colors. Chives are a good choice in that this herb is not overpowering in flavor. Peppermint can be grown in either a sunny or shady spot in your yard. Peppermint must be trimmed often. Peppermint also attracts insects that are beneficial for your garden. Thyme dries very well after being harvested and keeps its flavor through the winter. Thyme also comes several varieties. Basil is also a great choice for kids to plant because it is simple to grow. It starts fast and grows abundantly. Thyme can be used all winter long. Thyme must also be cut back frequently.
Gardening can be a family activity
Fun read aloud to add to the gardening fun
Diane Seufert Tait's "Olivia's Garden" is a fun read aloud to add to the gardening experience for children. Karen plants an herb garden and Grandmother Sage, Prickly Jack Echinacea, and Miss Calendula are just a few of the herb characters who grow in Karen's yard. Tait also has a surprise helper for Karen as she tends her herbs every day. Children will be delighted to discover that Olivia is a fairy that helps with the garden chores. Olivia is also instrumental in keeping the garden pests away. The watercolor-like illustrations by Karen Thompson fill each page with pastel colors. The included glossary of names of herbs from "Olivia's Garden" is of interest. Children will enjoy the story that introduces them to the fact that plants, animals, and insects are all a part of a garden, and with a little imagination, a fairy can help with a gardening project. "Olivia's Garden" is recommended for ages 3-7. It was published by Greenwood Press and has an ISBN of 978-0-9950862-0-3.
Olivia is a fairy that might inhabit your garden
Fun read aloud for gardening in ebook
Gardens for children
What are your choices for gardening with your kids?
Passion for combining fun read aloud stories with activities
I always included gardening activities in my early childhood classroom during my 32-year-career with young children along with fun read aloud stories that added to my students' interest in their gardening experiences. I found that gardening experiences provided hands-on learning to my young students and parents were always very excited to see the final product. My young students were always excited to watch their plants grow and to harvest any food product that we planted. Choosing fun stories to read and coordinate with gardening activities added to the children's interest. There is a wealth of children's books available to coordinate with gardening experiences.
