Study in Europe or the United States? Now this is not new. Do we hear a lot about education in Asia? To open your curtain a little to this phenomenon, we decided to talk with the Ukrainian student Mary of Assumption University, in Thailand. Today it is one of the leading international universities in Southeast Asia. Of course, not everyone can afford foreign universities, but knowledge not stop, if you can get them.
Mary, how are you all decided to go to Thailand?
It happened very spontaneously. I went on a winter holiday to the sea. There I have distant relatives and they offered me to stay for a month, because it is good for my health. She came for a month and stayed for four. Then I was offered a tour of the local International University. I zhodylasya. After reading my report: " We have four days later semester begins, so you can pass the exam, we'll tourist visa pereoformymo on training and learning can go already." I decided not to get excited. She came here passed the external assessment. Then at the last moment changed her mind and flew to Thailand.
What kind of entrance test for you waiting for?
All examinations giving up individually. Give you a folder of papers and it must be filled. Checking grammar of English. Write an essay or something like that. It was a test, the second – you speak English. Look at your level. Also, you are asking the question in erudition.
That is, first you did not choose the way of learning? Check for general knowledge?
Yes. And be sure to test in mathematics. Wherever you went – math test. Originally abhorrest, but not too hard. Then you are asked where you want to go and depending on your department, you still give the exam. I chose Communication Arts.
Two semesters you learn with everyone and then choose your direction. That is to choose advertising, journalism, acting. It's School Communication Arts. I want to choose a PR. This semester graduate course "Journalism and Mass Media". Print media almost never taught.
We often organize projects as a task. One was on television journalism. Just like in real life: gathering information zapysuyeshsya on studio green background, teleprompter, two cameras. News gathered last night to literally everything to be fresh.
What is the ratio of teachers to students?
The teachers are all different for all different races, nationalities. Material in English, of course. If something is not clear, you can raise your hand and say it. The teacher will explain to you again. The attitude of the students is very good. If you want to learn, you give everything for this.
How often do you use the library?
In general, they all use the Internet. However, if you want to write some report, the list of references is required. This should be a book. Often the teacher verifies that you specified. We read the first page and the last – well, 5. And then – no. But if you're all done, then no problem. The site is a university program that checks all matches that are only available online. Teachers use it very often. Allowed only 7 percent of the copied text.
Do you have any steel band?
There is no group as such. You choose the items himself and schedules. For example, advertising on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Chosen as convenient to you. Add to the main subject. Permission to take a minimum of two, maximum of nine courses. If you elect two, then study 6 years, no less. If 9 – 2.5 can end. The system is flexible. At various subjects walking with different students. At first I did not like it, then realized it was more familiar, more communication. Later with friends we try to put some things together.
How about Ukrainian students?
Ukrainians – a sad story. Arriving, I got to the Secretary of the Foreign Students. She told me that the university is four Ukrainian but me. Gave their phone and advised to meet. One girl I did not answer, the other sometimes encouraged. Another student had promised to meet. A year studying there and have not seen him even once.
Then who do you hang out most?
There are many Russians, "those that flee from the cold." But again, it is translated into politics… It is said that we still had a good relationship, and now Ukraine seized U.S.. I'm much easier to communicate with Asiatics, Americans. From the French, there are, by the way, a lot, I have something happen. They try to avoid the Koreans, Chinese, and advised them not to talk.
Can you tell a little about the education system?
It is similar to an American. Primary, secondary and higher – it's all different schools. You can choose a different training programs of varying complexity. From this has repelled universities. Some may be a level of complexity, which take. In high school you had choose the ten subjects. Of course, this plus mandatory. That is, as in the university. They are focused on practice. As in school and beyond.
No permanent seat for textbooks, " cramming " theory. Practice and Theory of approximately 50 to 50.
How are classes?
Some teachers give their summaries. Vidkseryly – take and learn from. Other tricky. To them listen, make summaries in the blanks and you have to fill them, watching the teacher. Some do not pay attention to whether you're listening to. There textbook – read. I write notes, because so accustomed. Some recorders are and then sleeping in class.
How many students work part time while studying?
If you want to work, you can contact the special department. They offer you a different job, even depending on your training schedule. University of himself engaged in paperwork to have everything legally and without problems.
Who cares about the students?
Each has its own curator. With any questions you can contact him. When you make up yourself timetable for the next semester, the curator has put the seal to confirm that everything is fine. It is if you have something does not work, need advice, who better to take the subject, now or later. It can take courses as from the fifth year of study at first, and vice versa. Only a few are those that can be passed only after the passage of others. More active department works with international students. For example, with a visa no problem. Just come with your passport and come back in a few days. All they do.
What distinguishes evaluation system in Assumption University from ours?
We have four sessions a year, that is, two per semester. It is approximately 24 examinations per year. A sort of mid term exams, as I call them, and the final. You learn two months later ydus secondary exams almost all subjects. The material that you have already passed, no longer given. You learn two and a half months and giving up final exams. Very rarely made tests for the whole year, because they're pretty solid. Similar to external evaluation. Check users, a separate place and tests, essay or question. As early as the first day of class we are given a printout, indicating that much work is in the ratio. The entire course – it is 100 percent. If you have 90, you get A, that is fine. Some great items beginning with 80 percent. For example, mathematics. If after submission of all you have less than 40 percent believed that you do not pass the subject. All work is evaluated as a percentage. No additional work. What's the plan with that and you can earn. If, for example, in Deadlines are not invested, then the next class, it will be minus 50 percent.
Of course, if you're sick and bring help, you can still work out. But if he was missing more than a month, then decide whether you will have an individual course or repeat. You do not pay the money, but after all again. Terms quite tough.
How long is continuing education?
Undergraduate – about four years. As in Ukraine. Of course, it still depends on how many items you take per semester. If you take seven or eight, then four years of the bachelor wilt. In the summer holidays, you can also learn. This is a maximum of three items.
And many who want to learn, while others rest?
Enough. The reason is also that some insured for fear that not make the test. And so will supply. Some just want to learn for 2.5 years.
And where you want to enter, even when I was in Ukraine?
I clearly had not yet decided, but my mother insisted on a very international relations in Shevchenko. It does not regret that there is no learning to be honest. Recently met childhood friend who is now studying in KIIR. The overall picture I saw. Expensive things dog at hand and words together can bind. I think that if they have the money, it is better to use them to good use. For example, you can go to study in England or something like that.
That is, if you have the opportunity, it is better to go to study abroad?
This is a tough question. We have good teaching base. In Soviet times, domestic education was one of the best in the world. Now, of course, the situation is different. Disappointing fact of corruption in universities.
What I still do not like in the Ukrainian education is the lack of any international university, none of the software in English. A foreigner with no knowledge of Russian or Ukrainian study is impossible, even if he really loved this country. It is the same if I was going to Thailand and I would have to study the Thai, which, incidentally, is very complex.
For foreigners are free courses Thai. This is only optional, no one is forcing her to teach.
I want to learn English, because the world is nowhere without it. In Ukraine this possibility I do not. And that's a big minus our education.
You can add something to the " pros " of education in Ukraine?
Good thing we have a budget study. Because we understand that most would not be able to pay for the contract. In Thailand in general this phenomenon is not. This is due to the fact that in this country a very strong middle class.
Do you plan to return to Ukraine after training?
I would really like to, because I love this country. But I understand that things do not resolve your knowledge, skills, and connections, bribery. Perhaps the master will go to study in Europe or America. And I have no clear plan.
I hope that with time the situation in Ukraine will improve and we have to make a choice: stay here or look crazy abroad.

Probably the most contentious point in my projects is bugs (aka defects) and how to deal with them. Every new team I work with asks how we're going to organize, strategize, and resolve bugs. Since they're a normal part of software development, you can't ignore them.
Here are are few ways you can make life easier when it comes to bugs.
First things first, lock down your DOD
A solid definition of done (aka DOD) is going to tell you where to begin with bugs. Lock down what it means for a story to be "done" in relation to the bugs in that story. For example, is a story done if it has three bugs filed against it? If those bugs are cosmetic, then my teams might say yes. As a delivery team you need to decide where the severity threshold is in your project. We use the following categories (from least severe to most severe):
– Cosmetic
– Minor
– Moderate
– Major
– Critical
The first bugs to be squashed
The teams I work with usually take all Major and Critical bugs into the current sprint and resolve them. This is probably because the user stories they are linked to won't pass QA without all Critical and Major bugs first resolved. In other words, stories can't reach a done state while those bugs are open. That's in our definition of done so that's how we operate. If a bug doesn't fall into this category, we drop it into a separate bucket aptly named "Bugs."
The Bugs bucket
I didn't want bugs to get lost in our ever growing backlog, so one day I created a separate JIRA container in my projects specifically for bugs. We found it helpful and have been using it ever since. It allows the team to easily see the list of all logged bugs which aren't Major/Critical in one spot.
Hold on, this isn't anywhere in Agile Scrum… OK, so I know we're diverting from traditional Scrum a bit on this Bugs bucket thing, but let's be fair; Scrum is a framework, not a process. I think the "Backlog" gets too messy with bugs, stories, improvements, and tasks intermixed. This is especially true when you consider that bugs aren't recieving story points (usually) and are very different from stories. But how does the team know what the true order of priority is on all backlogged items then? Using the Ready List, the PO can pull top priority items for the next two sprints from the Backlog and Bugs bucket into one place.
Who is responsible for what
There are really only two areas of responsibility on bugs. One falls to the person filing the bug (generally QA) and the other falls to the Product Owner.
The following areas are generally owned by QA:
– Title
– Severity
– Environment
– Issue description
– Steps to reproduce
– Observed result
– Expected result
– Recommended resolution
– Screenshots
– Linked stories
The second area of responsibility falls to the PO and they only have one task:
– Priority. All a PO needs to do is determine what priority that bug should be listed at. This is the order in which the bug will be taken into a sprint to be resolved.
Bug scrubs
Scrubbing bugs is a critical organization technique that I've seen work really well. This can be done in a meeting with your PO or as a separate task for the PO to handle alone. Simply put, QA walks the PO through each bug individually and the PO prioritizes them. This is a good opportunity for the PO to ask questions and learn more about challenges the coders are facing. This can be done with or without other team members in the room.
Bug bash: What it's for and how it's used
If you need to do some manual testing in a pinch and you're light on QA staff, a bug bash might be just what you're looking for. Schedule a 1-2 hour meeting on your team's calendar and make sure you have devices, builds, and a conference room ready to go. Once gathered, test and logs bugs together as a team (nobody is left out). You're putting in the equivalent of 10 working hours; an efficient five person team can cover some serious ground.

Prespa's Italian Restaurant on Arkansas Lane in Dalworthington Gardens is the kind of friendly spot where the regulars (owner Steve Emini estimates they make up 85 percent of his diners) not only have menu favorites but have also staked out the tables and booths where they like to dine.
"I pretty much know who they are," Emini said of his customers. "If they don't see me for two or three days, they say, 'Where have you been?' I like that, I like that a lot."
Prespa's, like other independent Arlington restaurants such as The Original Arlington Steak House, Catfish Sam's, Jay Jay's Cafe and more, proves that there is an appetite for owner operated eateries in a city often panned for its number of chain restaurants.
There's heritage in Prespa's name.
"I'm from Prespa, Macedonia, on the borderline with Greece and Albania," said Emini, who spent 30 years in Chicago before moving the family to Texas in 2002. "We have a nice beautiful lake there, a lot of mountains, four seasons."
The cooks at the 12-year-old Prespa's have all been with Steve and Albana Emini for a decade or more. Emini brags that he hasn't raised menu prices in four years.
Entrees are $6.95 to $11.95, with a couple of $12.95 selections. The menu is heavily poultry, with chicken penne vodka, chicken marsala, and chicken florentino among the most-ordered dishes. The lasagna and the linguini with clam sauce are other house specialties.
It's a place with stability. Only the cheese ravioli and the uncooked pastas are made off-premises. The fist-size rolls are baked twice a day. There's a closely guarded secret to the marinara sauce.
The servers are Arlington High School students or graduates. That's where the Eminis' son, Alban, 18, graduated this year, and where daughter, Renata, 15, will enter as a freshman this month.
"Everybody that works for us lives within 3 or 4 miles from here," Emini said. "Most [of the servers], their sisters have worked for us. As the kids grow up, older ones go to college and their sisters or cousins come to work for us."
The southwest Arlington location off Sublett Road, operated by Emini's brother, hires Martin High School students. Its customers tend to come from Arlington, Kennedale and Mansfield.
A third location of Prespa's opened a few weeks ago on the Fort Worth-Burleson line.
"We weren't planning on it; it just happens," Emini said of the family's newest restaurant. "You run across a nice location, you give it a shot, see what happens."

Congratulations to our new Penyffordd Community Councillor David Walker
Many thanks for making a comment on the blog on political relationships within Penyffordd.
I admit I know nothing about you except from a comment made that your are a friend of County Cllr David Williams.
When 9 out of 10 cllrs have to to stand as Independent, due to Conservatism being out of fashion in Flintshire one has to make groupings.
I have made the mistake of grouping you with the Red Lion Independents.
I am sorry.
I have edited you to being just Independent.
I presume you will be standing next year 2016. I will also presume that you will publish and deliver all your own Penyffordd Cllr candidate literature and will not be on the same sheet as Cllr David Williams or any other . I stood in 2008 and 2012. My wife helped me deliver my leaflets.
At today's rates I think printing leaflets for our area in the region of £300.
Not too bad going and you get to be called councillor and get your ear bent down the pub for free.
Nothing like a few pints of Stella and discussing village issues.
You should also take a good look at electoral law. One of the times I stood I forgot to put on my leaflet that I had published the leaflet myself. A Penyffordd Councillor complained to Colin Everett who then sent North Wales CID ( yes the police ) to interview me under caution. You should be ok though being one of the Penyffordd Borg. Only Cindy has not been assimilated.
I will be able to check on your expenses to stand as councillor after the election with the Returning Officer Colin Everett, CEO of Flintshire County Council.
The £300 comes out of your own pocket, you should also know that being a community councillor costs you money and time. There is no salary and no expenses. No watching Liverpool on a Wednesday night. Such is the sacrifice necessary in the service of our fellow Penyfforddians.
I think it unfair to to ask you about LDP Pen041, you have been thrown in the very deep end.
I will say this to Penyffordd Community Council if you as a council think you passed LDP candidate suggestion Pen041 by mistake you are living in cloud cuckoo land. The village won't fall for that line.
We are not all sheep.
I will answer all your points shortly
This is a test to your Independency.
With regards LDP Pen035 which Penyffordd Community Council voted to bulldoze the The Spar and build houses on it.
Would you like to explain why you as a councillor voted to close one of Penyffordd's most valued assets?
I can't find any minutes discussing this major decision.

The impending lack of a Sunday bus service is equally as serious as PEN041 and PEN035 Colin, not to change the subject or anything..ReplyDeleteReplies
This is not an impending lack of a Sunday bus service this has actually happened and as far as I am aware without any notificationDelete
Lack of Sunday Bus Service is equitable to the loss of 13 homes, play areas, allotments, the only shop in the village, taking half a pub's land?ReplyDelete
The compensation of which would run to over £3 million pound. This does not include the human element. Let's get back to the question I have asked David.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous24 Jun 2015, 17:48:00
Well some people think so. Not me, i was being sarcastic in my previous post.ReplyDelete
I should add the the current Pen041 has now been removed so people no longer need to be anxious. Pen035 Penyfforddians your thoughts?ReplyDelete
I should add Pen035 voted by Penyffordd Community Council to destroy the only shop in the villageReplyDelete
One hopes you Cllr David Walker don't mind a touch of lightness in the discussion. I mean no offence to you perhaps you won't get assimilated.ReplyDelete
Oh Forgot to mention David that both my wife Lisa and I stood for council in 2008. We received a blackmail threat through the letter box being advised not to stand or else. Still got it somewhere keep meaning to frame it and put it on the wall. NWP wouldn't take action. See one rule for some an done rule for others. I wanted hand writing samples from various people but the bobby refused.ReplyDelete
Such is life. Bear this in mind when you sit around the committee table. Perhaps it was Penyffordd's Machiavelli playing games. We will never know.
So I get no answer about why you voted to close the Spar and build houses on the site. The Spar a good shop, an asset to the village, the only shop in the village.ReplyDelete
Welcome to public scrutiny in the digital age.
I intend to contact The Spar head office over this.ReplyDelete

public racketeering…
So, I read in the business section of the national newspaper last week how corporate profits are at a 27 year high in Canada.
And then in the news the following day I saw how the Harper government shut down any further debate on their new Bill C-51, the bill that will give the government the most sweeping surveillance and arrest powers a peace-time Canadian government has ever had. (A Bill that has no hope of ever standing up in the Supreme Court – but no matter – it will serve Harper's political agenda until then. It will be pass final reading while we flap our gums about the new budget.)
Then, to top it off, I read a feature report in Harper's Magazine about just how rapidly the ice caps in the Arctic are melting, and how despondent the Inuit peoples throughout the far north of Canada and Greenland are becoming – as the receding ice is taking away their ability to hunt, and to eat.
Their 12,000-year-old world, their very existence, is melting out from under their feet.
It makes me wonder who the terrorists really are.
Of course the mainstream media is reluctant to directly link how the rape and pillage of the planet (and most of its inhabitants) builds the record profit levels of corporate globalization – which in turn can only be sustained by widespread surveillance and increased authoritarianism.
How sad it is to watch all of this happen, and see too how little the average person seems to care about it.
Statistics Canada says the gap between the rich and poor is at its widest mark since World War II began, profits are at a 27 year high, and all we care about is whether the Habs will be able to take out the Senators in four-straight. And could someone go out and get some chips before the game starts?
Its not like we haven't seen this ambivalence to corporate greed and increased surveillance before. And its not like we don't know how bad things can get and how still so few be willing to stand up and confront these dangerous tendencies in ourselves.
History is rife with examples of indifference – from the fall of Rome to the bombing of Iraq and the death of two million civilians for a crime they did not commit.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. (Martin Niemoller)

Hey, this is me, your troop historian. We had a great campout at Wadi Walla for our first campout of this year. It was a great place and we had fun swimming, rappelling and working on merit badges. It was nice to have water nearby. That is kind of a luxury here in Jordan.
Here you see we had our own little "tent city". The ground was really hard, since we were mostly on all rock. I know I ended up sleeping in my chair, which some of the scouts found pretty funny (fortunately there were no pictures taken of me with my mouth hanging open)
We spent a lot of time cooking. We had some pretty "interesting" food to eat. For many of us, it was our first time using cast iron dutch ovens. Plus our leaders said we had to really cook and not just Ramen or Macaroni and Cheese.
Isn't this a great swimming hole?
Here are some scouts working on merit badges. We got a lot done. We learned how to make fuzzy fire starting sticks, do first aid. Some of the guys even got to practice first aid on a live unnamed patient, who cut his finger making fuzzy sticks.
I think all of us enjoyed rappelling with Mr L and Mr D. Some of us wanted to whimp out, but with a lot of coaching we all made it down the cliff. Then we wanted to do it again. It was really fun after all.
Good thing we have some army men who know how to rappel. Some of the leaders even took a turn, after the boys were done!

Oh my god - you're one of those guys. You're one of those guys who actually looks at a Nissan Note and thinks "yep, that's the car for me".AddicksAddict said:
When we were looking for new second-hand car, we tried loads of things around Fiesta size - Skoda Fabia & Yeti, Citroën C3 and D3, Toyota Yaris & Auris, Nissan Note, Peugeot 206, Fiesta, Audi A1, and Honda Jazz. The Jazz was head and shoulders above the lot apart from the Audi, and the Audi has nothing like the reliability of the Jazz (or so said JD Power). True, it's not cheap, but we got a just under three year old top of the range with a panoramic roof for £10,000.
Five years later, it's not missed a beat - two flat tyres caused by nails, servicing, and normal service items like brake pads have been the only costs. I can see this lasting us for another five, ten years (touch wood) and will probably be the last petrol car we buy. By the time it dies, electric cars should have a range similar to a petrol car and be pretty quick to charge so I'd think that will be the way we'll go, but that's another matter.

Christmas, 7 and 3
Chris and I have commented that ages 7 and 3 (and, of course, cousin Evan at 18 months) may be among the finest ages for Christmas celebrations. My favorite moment of Christmas may have already happened. Watching them tonight as they passed out the gifts they picked for everyone (at the Dollar Tree) and jump and shout with glee as those gifts were opened was pretty spectacular. But of course, there may be a few fun moments tomorrow...
I'm going to sleep, so Santa can get here...

Meredith's First Nutcracker
Mer danced in the Children's Ballet of Memphis production of the Nutcracker this year. There were two long dress rehearsals and 3 performances, and she handled it all like a pro. I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a stage mom. I definitely didn't bring enough hair gel. I'm sure you find that shocking.
But this girl? She's kind of a rock star.

Just got Madeline on my mind this morning. As the second child, the blogging on her life has been less. But not the adoration. So let's catch up.
- She says "basically," at the beginning of as many sentences as possible. "Basically, I need a bandaid, because this booboo is kind of better, but not all the way better, and I know it needs air, but first it needs a bandaid."
- She says "infusing," instead of confusing.
- She's intense. Where Meredith rationalizes and can listen to reason, Madi is driven by emotion and can't easily turn that off. Did I tell you about the Grizzlies game where she was going to get to see her pre-K assistant be a Grizzly Girl? We didn't realize that this meant that Madi thought Natasia would be playing basketball. When this did not prove to be the case, Madeline wept as if we had stomped on her heart. And did not stop.
- She can count to 30 and write her name (and usually hits all 8 letters.)
- She's funny. Still. Last night she got out of bed and ran into our room to throw a wadded up tissue at me. Bounced it off my face. It was funny. She knew it was funny. She also knew it was kind of gross, and that made it funnier. It was also a bit like, "Hey there, David Sugg."
- She loves Doritos. Not so much the healthy stuff.
- When she smiles, it's real. She doesn't really have a fake smile. And that just really says it all.
And now, here to wrap it up with a bit more sentimentality, Mr. Elvis Costello.

This may well have been the happiest night of Madeline's life. She was giddy--not hyper--just joyful. She kept exclaiming about the fact that people were giving her candy. She was amazed. And at most houses she wrapped up (after receiving candy) by saying "thank you and trick or treat and happy Halloween!" Meredith is praying a looooong prayer of thanks for her candy right now. Sweet and happy girls.

Madeline Learns to Swim, Olympic Style
Madeline recently asked to take her water wings off. She held my hands and bounced off the bottom of the pool, letting herself sink down and stay under water for several seconds. By day two of water wing-less bouncing, she was ready to swim. She taught herself how to swim in under ten minutes, with just a little coaching. This video is day two of her swimming, with Meredith filming and announcing it. You'll notice that A) another little girl named Louise gets in on the "swim to Chris" action and B) the Olympics just ended. Go Madi!

Madeline at School
Since Madeline's teacher is one of the finest human beings on the planet, she sends me pictures of Madi in action every once in awhile. Needless to say, it makes my day.

Today the girls were dancing to Pat Benatar's "We Belong" -- a dancing song if there ever was one.
Me: Meredith that was really elegant!
Madeline: (frustrated) I WANT TO BE AN ELEPHANT!
Me: You're an elephant, Madz. Now girls, dance your little hearts out, because we need to go after this dance.
Mer: Mom, they're not little. Not at all. They're BIG hearts because they're full of dance.

Mad Scientists
It's hard to watch your baby grow up. So you have to savor the perks... Like watching the crazy stuff she does with her big sister -- and hearing the ridiculous conversations. Here's an example of stuff a one year old can't do.

That's a Wrap on the School Year
Madi wrapped up a year of preschool with a fabulous program and a pony ride. The girls and I then headed straight to Arkansas for one of the most relaxing weekends we've had in a long time. Milestone: Meredith, Madeline, and cousin Hadley played on their own for long stretches of time and even made group decisions to go outside on their own and sprint back and forth expending large amounts of energy. Any parent reading this knows that this is huge. Yea for kids who play on their own and wear themselves out!

Here we are sans Daddy, who was sorely missed. He was in Colorado, celebrating Kayle's graduation and doing lots of hard work. But, as I said, he was in Colorado. So no pity for him.
And then we hightailed it for the exact middle of nowhere and enjoyed every minute of it.
Sprinting with Hadley (and a bottle of bug spray).
Practicing our spit-takes.
Learning about ocean monsters. So far, no nightmares.

Ballet at the Shell
New Ballet Ensemble's Family Night was at the Levitt Shell again this year and was full of great stuff. Flamenco, hip hop, and plenty of ballet. Most of the young classes followed the outline of Le carnaval des animaux—Mer's class were the kangaroos.
The Family Night show is always a bit long, and the little ones (okay, and some of the grown ups) sometimes get a bit squirmy. But the school wants the young ones to have the opportunity to really watch all the older children. Hattie, Meredith, and Elizabeth loved it.

The Future
Mer: So, I can't decide if I should be a teacher or a doctor.
Chris: Maybe a scientist? I think you should be a scientist.
Madi: Hey guys. Or, she could be Super Girl.

Madeline at 3
I'm tardy with this birthday post. Maybe because she's the second? Maybe because Madeline, by nature, isn't easily summed up in a birthday post.
If I had to choose a few things to help describe Madi at 3, I would probably start with snugglepot. This is a noun that (as far as I can tell) Madeline invented to describe a cozy spot where cuddling could--and should--take place. She piles up blankets and pillows and asks us to get into the snugglepot with her. (We do.)
So, obviously, the affection in this child is not waning. She'll hug and kiss whatever she can reach, grabbing a knee or elbow for a quick kiss in the middle of a game or activity. Honestly, she's kind of like a doting parent in the way she just can't quit with the affection. And I have to tell you, it's a strange but lovely experience to be comforted by a three year old.
But as she'll tell you, she's a teaser, too. She loves to joke and trick. Since she was still in the womb, we've participated in a UT medical study. They're tracking mothers' habits and children's diets and doing yearly surveys and tests. A few weeks ago we went in for third year tests and during that time she did a lot of different activities--but there were 3 times that the tester returned to a poster with crayons on it. The tester pointed to individual crayons and asked Madi to name them--she got them right each time. On the third try, Madeline kept a straight face, pretended to think deeply, and switched each pair of colors as she answered the tester. She never let on that she was joking til she had done it 8 times. She wins staring contests too. Easily.
What else? She consistently reminds me not to pop my knuckles. She's a pretty picky eater--passionate only about candy and yogurt. She can count to 28, so Aunt Beth and I are breathing a sigh of relief that she may have escaped our math genes. She's working on her M's and A's, and writes lots of letter-like objects with great focus. She is greeted at school by cries of "Maddy-poo!" from her friends -- this is the name she has asked them to call her. Adults are not allowed to use the moniker, and are admonished if they try.
Her imaginary friend (not as ever present as Meredith's friends Hanas and Jonas, but hanging around quite a bit lately) is Alice. Sometimes pronounced Alisk. Never yet pronounced correctly by me.
That's our girl. Complicatedly perfect.
Birthday breakfast. 4/11/12. Third birthday.

Easter Goodness
First, for the record, what an amazing spring. A real, true spring -- not the short, startling slide into immediate summer that we sometimes get. We've had egg hunts in the heat, egg hunts in rain boots, and one gorgeous Easter morning.
Backyard egg hunt after a monsoon.
Our sweet neighbors, Ramona and Milo, came over for the egg hunt.
Then we went to their house and met the hens!
The merging of the Sugg and Lareau clans was the creation of an egg dying dynasty. We ALL take our egg dying very seriously. Aunt Beth and I (with help from the girls and Papa) dyed 60 eggs and could happily have done another 60.
Serious work.
Happy eggs.
Happy girls. Happy Easter!

Our First Appalachian Hike
I say our first, because I have a dream that some day we'll hike the Appalachian Trail together. I fully recognize that this dream may require significant modification, as in, "Some day we'll hike 1/58th of the Appalachian Trail together." But it's my dream and I love it. There is almost no limit to my love for hiking. I once tried to climb a fourteener in CO while suffering from altitude sickness and as-yet-undiagnosed pneumonia. I still have mostly good memories of that excursion. But I digress...
While in North Carolina we hiked a trail or two off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was gorgeous and glorious. Meredith was a total pro, leading the way and reporting back to us on her walkie-talkie. Madeline was truly expert at sitting on shoulders, and actually did do some fairly significant hiking for someone who hasn't yet hit 3 feet.

Southern Skiing
I fully admit that as we headed off to North Carolina with snowboards and a large assortment of gloves, hats, and coats, I thought Chris was deluded. No way there would be snow, no way it would be worth it, no way we could pull this off.
I was wrong. There, I said it. Granted, the snow was entirely man-made, but it was still a great day. We didn't do a whole lot of spring skiing when we lived in CO -- probably because it was a busy time of the semester even for those law students who were mainly there to play intramural soccer. Regardless, it was nice to push the sleeves up and wear sunglasses instead of goggles.
Mer took to it quickly, partly because she's pretty adventurous, and partly because Chris is a great teacher. They skiied together for an hour, she went to an hour class, and then she and Chris skiied together again. For all you haters out there: she had to start with skiing instead of boarding, 'cause they don't rent snowboarding stuff 'til you're 7.
And Chris totally took one for the team, getting in not one moment of snowboarding, while I went up and down the mountain seeing if I could still remember how to stop. I did.
And now, for the record and for the grandparents. Video of Mer's first solo ski.

Hello everyone this is Re'Keta with my VERY FIRST Design Team post for The Cutting Cafe. I am so super excited and honored to be on this team.
For our first Design team Challenge we were able to use any cut file from The Cutting Cafe and I chose this adorable B shaped card template. This file comes in the following formats: PDF, WPC and SVG and can be resized to fit every need. The one thing I love about The Cutting Cafe files are that they also come in PDF form in case you do not own a cutting machine and they are easy to cut by hand.
For my B shaped card I used my favorite paper from "Die Cuts with a View (DCWV) "Alphabet Stack" and added a cute fabric flower and sentiment from "The Paper Studio collection.
I hope you enjoyed my post today, please check out The Cutting Cafe for all your die cutting needs.
Hugs and Glitter

Deepavali at my home!
Babs, I wanted to write this for you, so you can see how your mother celebrated her Deepavali growing up as a small kid. These yearly rituals meant a lot to all of us and even today when I spoke with my mother we both recollected it and felt super nostalgic.
Two weeks before Deepavali, mother will be seen scrambling around trying to make sure she has all her supplies in place to make the sweets and savories for Deepavali. Mother loved making these so that her family could enjoy them. She made them in large quantities too because we had to distribute them to our near and dears! Then she would start her one-sweet/savory-a-day ritual. Mother would make, Boondi Ladoo, Murukku, Kara Seedai, Sweet Seedai, Thattai, Athirasam, Ribbon Pakoda, Diamond Cuts, Kaja, Somas, Badushah, Kara Boondi, Om Podi, and a few more to keep us busy with food for a whole week or mroe after the festival. House would smell like someone has been doing some serious cooking and I loved it. Mother would meticulously make the sweets and hide them from us so that we would not finish them off before the festival itself.
Then of course there is the whole deal of buying new clothes for Deepavali. When we lived in Trichy, we would go to Town and when we lived in Chennai we would in Mambalam shopping. There were deals and steals and either way you are robbed because of the festive season. Schools were also abuzz with all of us comparing what new dress we got and how much fire crackers each of us had purchased. It was a matter of pride and gossip in school.
The night before Deepavali was the most exciting part of the celebrations for us. Some of us would have already exhausted at least half of the crackers and would have slept slightly late bubbling with excitement. Sleep will rarely visit you this night because you are bundle of nerves and you keep hearing a random atom bomb or saram going off some where in the distance. Either way mother would wake us up early at 5 or 5.30 in the morning and line us up for the oil massage. One by one each of us would go through the ritual and be given a hot bath at the end of it. Fresh and clean we get to wear our new dress. Filled with excitement we will run outside to burst some more crackers only to notice that a soft drizzle has descended upon us. This happened every single year. Not just once or twice, but every year...Sad we would head back inside our home.
Mother will by then have steaming hot idli's and vadakari with sambar and chutney ready for us to gorge on followed by any of the sweets you choose to eat. As the day opens up sun would peek through to let us kids play outside for a while before Mother packed the sweets to be distributed. First the neighbors, a quick walk. Then to friends slightly far away for which brother would accompany me. Then father and I would go to friends house very far away by walk after the drizzle has stopped. I enjoyed these visits, we went to give and we would get too. The variety we enjoyed from everyone's house, the critiques, were all a part of the joy. This was always followed by a heavy lunch and a nap.
Once again in the evening filled with fresh vigor, all of us waited for the sun to go down and about six in the evening we would be out with the flower pots, the circling ones (Changuchakaram), the mathapu (sparkles), and of course the loud ones. We would be outside sharing our fire crackers with neighbors and be there till as long as we could keep our eyes open...before calling it a night...
I wish life would go back to being so simple. None of us went overboard buying the fire crackers that rules had to be made to ban them. People were sensitive and sensible those days. Nothing can beat mother's sweets, even today, even if I get the recipe from her and make it, her touch is what makes the difference. I am sure all of you had some fun experiences too...please stop by to comment if you can!

i don't know most of those things you listed..but sound yummy.
nice recap.
but, i have to say..diwali w/o fireworks is very pheeka. and i don't know what you mean by 'our times were simple'..ever since i can remember there were all kinds of smoke producing bombs all around :D
- Anu Russell said...
Ya, I love everything mom made!!
When I said simple, I meant that we did not have to go through the whole ban and stuff...and we all burst enough crackers but it was not like we had to bring in some higher authority to tell us when to stop or start...we did fine and our lives were simpler!
- Priya said...
this really reminded me of my good old days...where my mom yelled at me for finishing all sweets and leaving none for guests to come hahaha!! nice writing anu
Hey Anu,
Reading your post about Diwali brought back all my childhood Diwali memories. Awesome writing!
Sorry, I haven't visited your blog for a few weeks. I stopped by today and saw a lot of posts. I am glad you had a good trip to EU as well. Sounded very fun.
Happy Diwali to you Anu!
- Anu Russell said...
Thanks priya for stopping by and commenting!
Thanks for stopping by. I was also wondering about you. How are you and hope all's well.
All is well Anu. I recently had a baby...well...sort of recently...she is 6 months now...can't believe how time has flown by. Hence my erratic visiting of anything on the Internet these days. I am sure you know exactly how things are....
was sort of surprised to be taken back to the past, that too right in between an engrossing Euro saga
wonderful piece about wonderful memories....I try to create that magic for my daughter but with limited success, what with the change in lifestyles.......
each era has its own share of ups n downs but the best part of human memory is that it tends to remember only the happy and gay parts..thank goodness for that!!
- Anu Russell said...
Suchi!!! Awww...Congrats! 6 months is a handful. Start making notes on what they do...else you tend to forget them :(
Nitin, Thanks a bunch! and keep visiting.

Back to Boredom
I'm allowing comments today.
I'm a bit sensitive and have not yet had the courage, but what the heck: I don't want to live in a vacuum.
I could use a new vacuum. I have an Electrolux from the 1950's that's falling apart, but is incredibly powerful. The handle is taped on. I believe this vacuum is a metaphor for my life, but I'm not really in the mood to go there.
Maybe I'd be less bored if I cleaned my apartment more frequently.
The rub: boredom and anxiety are two common goblins who tend to hob together.
I find I'm too anxious about the enormity of the cleaning to actually tackle it.
I can't believe I said 'a bit sensitive'. I'm highly sensitive. I'm a HSP, Highly Sensitive Person! I've only recently convinced myself that being an HSP was better than being an insensitive dolt. An ID. The IDs rule the world. But they often need the HSPs as consultants.

We have all heard the adage before: it takes time, practice, repetition, exploration, mistakes and successes to master a new skill. Perfect, though, is a rather lofty goal..
"When I was in school the teachers told me practice makes perfect; then they told me nobody's perfect so I stopped practicing." Comedian – Steve Wright
So let's say practice makes better or perhaps practice makes permanent.
Let's explore how we generally acquire new business skills. Consider training a large group of sales people on objection handling and cross-selling and their managers on coaching to the new process. Usually the Corporate Learning and Development (L&D) team designs or purchases the training material, which is then incorporated into a workshop and perhaps an e-learning module. The participants are assembled; flights, hotels, venues are booked, and workshops are attended. The feedback from the workshops is outstanding, the e-learning scores are magnificent, and everyone is happy. Mission accomplished. If they were lucky, the Managers received an extra day of training regarding their responsibility to sustain the new sales process through coaching. While this process varies depending on the size of the organization and the commitment to the learning, this approach has been the norm for decades.
The real test of the training is whether the participants change their behavior in the field. If the way to measure 'lift' (a change in behavior and results) was part of the design process a key question is whether the Manager will have the skills to recognize any lack of change and then have time to coach to it. Usually, a few months go by and a small percentage of people are using the new content while Managers go back to focusing on their jobs with little time to coach. The status quo wins out and the L&D team goes back to the drawing board to design an even better training and coaching program for next year. Fingers point in both directions and the L&D budget is in jeopardy again next year with little or no evidence of return on training dollars invested. Read the rest of this entry »

Managers understand and appreciate the hard work and long hours their employees put in. Often they will thank staff by setting aside a day of play for activities ranging from golf tournaments to laser tag. But why do we continue to separate play from work? Are they mutually exclusive or can we find a way to connect the two and make play an integral part of the workday?
"The opposite of play is not work, it is depression." Brian Sutton-Smith
Employee engagement is a sign of a healthy and growing company. When employees clearly see how and why their work matters, they contribute to the overall goals of the company. But often employees come to work and simply function, dreading the next work day knowing they are coming back to do the very same thing again. According to studies on workplace engagement 84% of managers don't know how to accurately measure their team members, only 7% of employees fully understand their company's missions and what is expected of them to achieve these goals and 90% of Gen Y-ers say they desire co-workers who make work more fun (socialcast.com).

Organizations often look outside for top talent as a way to "raise the bar" or avert a talent crisis. There is much being written today about talent shortages among organizations – it is real and prevalent. Yet, what if we could help our organizations fight the war for talent by taking a more active role in our development? Could that role reduce the talent shortage by creating opportunity for others and our selves already on the payroll? After all, the workplace is filled with skilled employees who have accrued countless years of valuable experience. First, however, a commitment to change is required to meet the new and growing demands of organizations for their leaders today.
Over the years we change our hairstyle, our clothes, the cars we drive, our home furnishings. We spend time researching and evaluating items such as the latest Smartphone to determine whether we should upgrade our current hardware for the latest version– yet when it comes to an upgrade of our leadership capability, we tend not to invest much thought and even fewer resources. Though leadership may not evolve as quickly as Smartphone technology, the principle remains the same. Upgrades eventually make previous versions of the same thing obsolete.

Investors and Advisors alike have come to accept the efficient market school theory that maintains that market activity is based on people making rational economic choices. But the reality is that people act on their emotions constantly and often unconsciously. We become overconfident or fearful, "irrationally exuberant" or regretful. Our herd mentality often takes over while we perceive and frame our investing options in unusual ways. But why? Neurofinance seeks to answer this question.
Neurofinance combines psychology, economics, and neuroscience, to study how people make investment decisions. The goals of neurofinance are to identify the psychological inputs that impact trading behavior and then connect these traits to trading success or failure. It also looks to develop the training methods to improve performance and lower risk.
There are certain behaviors that hold potential implications for investors. The following is an overview of common behaviors demonstrated by both investor and advisor:
- Overconfidence and Hubris. Individuals generally assume they know more than they actually do. They also tend to remember previous financial decisions in ways that exaggerate their own foresight. This can lead to overly aggressive decisions and a reluctance to admit—and correct—mistakes. The "illusion of control" and "how great gains change the brain" are common themes explored in the field. Effective questioning techniques of investors and/or advisors help to uncover and correct this investment behavior. Read the rest of this entry »

Over the years both Cam and I have contributed our time and resources to several worthy charities. When we talk about Fairness as a team building attribute in our Team Dynamics Workshops, the subject of philanthropy often comes up. Research on why we volunteer our time to charities can be linked to our sense of fairness and desire to balance the scales. Others who are less fortunate, experiencing social injustice or suffering from a disease need our help. We feel better when we show compassion and help others. Matthieu Ricard has been dubbed the happiest man in the world. In his TED Talk Chade-Meng Tan from Google explains that Ricard's happiness was measured with an fMRI and that it was the highest ever recorded. Ricard states that he was meditating on compassion at the time. Read the rest of this entry »

Leading change is one of the most difficult tasks faced by every level in an organization. Traditional 'carrot & stick' and humanism behaviour motivation is being replaced by a 'brain based' neuropsychology approach. Discussion and research continues on why we resist change and the often predictably irrational opposition seen when an organization adopts new strategies or systems. The placebo effect is a powerful phenomenon that may be an additional tool to assist us in realizing our change objectives.
The placebo effect has been a well documented phenomenon in the medical and scientific community for several decades. It can be defined as "the physiological or psychological response to an inert substance or procedure". For quite some time, it has been observed that administering a remedy with no medical value (a sugar pill) can have positive results because the patient 'assumes' they feel the effect of the drug they believe they are taking. Although employed as a "commonplace method or medicine" as early as the 18th century, it was first brought into modern medicine context by an army nurse during the Second World War who lied about administering pain-killers to wounded soldiers.

Happy Veterans Day! A heartfelt thank you to all those who have served this great country of ours. I'm beyond excited to share this next project with you, especially because we had a Marine as part of our dream team! Speaking of a dream team... the time, talent, and creativity that went into making this styled shoot happen was so much more than I could have asked for! From the insanely gorgeous florals to the delicate bridal details to the exquisite bride and handsome groom, to the absolute synergy of everyone involved, it was one of those days that everything seemed to just fall into place, making the experience fun-filled and invigorating! Please be sure to see the incredible list of everyone who took part in this collaborative effort at the end of this post. And now for a little back story...
* * * * *
She was studying abroad in France, focusing on her love of architecture, art history, and communications. She loved reading and taking in the views from her favorite Parisian spot, Cafe de Flore.
Jose, who was visiting some friends in Paris while studying law in England, loved getting up early each morning for a good run to start his day. And this day started out just like any other. Thunder rumbled softly in the distance, but it didn't deter him from lacing up his running shoes.
This one particular Tuesday morning, a sudden downpour sent Jose into the nearest cafe for shelter. It was the very same cafe where she sat, on her phone, scribbling notes, and working away on her tablet. She was beautiful. And he found himself stopped in his tracks. Something about her captivated him. She noticed him staring her way, and she flashed a friendly smile. Usually quite shy, Jose made his way to her table and asked if he could perhaps buy her a cup of coffee. She said yes. He asked her name. "I'm Christina," she answered. They sat in that cafe for hours, watching the rain fall, watching passersby, and discovering that they shared quite a bit in common, including their hometown. When the rain had let up, Jose asked if he could take her to some of his favorite places just down the avenue. Again, she said yes. After that day, Jose had to return to England to his studies. He visited Christina every other weekend, and together they explored all of the sights and sounds the City of Lights had to offer. They love exploring new places together. Jose takes delight in doing his research before traveling so that he can be Christina's own personal tour guide, finding sweet, romantic spots to take in delicious new foods, as well as those must-see tourist spots where they take obligatory "selfies" to share with friends and family back home. They both agree that laughter is the best medicine. And dancing! They both love to dance, anything from salsa to The Robot!
When their summer studies had ended, they both knew they were destined to spend the rest of their lives together. On Jose's last trip to Paris, he proposed to Christina, with La Tour Eiffel in the distance. Once again, she said "Yes!"
Upon returning home from Europe, the pair planned their wedding day and knew that it must include elements from their time spent together in Paris. Decor and styling details were chosen based on favorite places they visited together, such as cafes where they shared dessert and streets where they strolled hand in hand. Even their beloved pup joined them after the ceremony for photos! And the palette was chosen to remind them of the vivid and sweet orchid hues of the trees and flowers in bloom all around the city where their love story unfolded.

The local shipping industry wants to be exempted from the new competition law, which comes into effect on December 14.
Shipping firms confer regularly on fixing benchmark freight rates that they then use as a reference.
"Our activity could be deemed illegal if we are not offered an exemption," a long-time executive in the local shipping sector said.
Lack of an exemption could also persuade local shipping companies to move most of their operations to mainland ports such as Yantian in Shenzhen, the executive warned.
Shipping companies hold regular meetings to discuss prices and set guidance freight rates to avoid extreme volatilities, the source said.
The commission will be responsible for investigating and initiating prosecutions.
It is still in talks with the shipping industry, the source said.
A large portion of cargo throughput handled in Hong Kong ports are transshipments from the mainland, the source said.
Singapore and Malaysia have granted such exemptions for shipping firms.

First things first: I got all of the presents, I believe, by now. I got a few packages over the course of a few days. It was actually really funny because usually Ældste Huffaker is the one getting mail (because he has a girlfriend and other friends who right him a TON!) but during those 3 or so days he didn't get a single letter and I kept getting packages full of Christmas gifts! It was so funny!! Thank you again for all that you sent to me!
Congrats to Casey on her part! I'm sure it will be a fun experience for her!
|Thanksgiving Meal with the Zone
So Ældste Will Wright will be speaking a REALLY different dialect then the rest of us. It's like speaking Danish with a Swedish accent almost. It's pretty weird. Oh! Which reminds me of this hilarious experience we had this past week! We ate dinner with this member from Sweden who now speaks Danish, her fiance who only speaks Swedish, and the Ægtepar (Senior Missionary couple) where one of them only speaks English! So it was a weird mixture of Danish, English, and Swedish at the dinner table!
Ældste Huffaker is doing just fine now. He's been off of his crutches and we've been able to work just about the same as before. Of course we're going easier on his leg because we don't want to overwork it, but he's been great! And let Grandma know that I'm willing to sacrifice the safety and well-being of all of my companions to get her letters mailed. ;)
An awesome experience we had was our opportunity we had to go to one of the Fri Kirke [Free Church] Bible Studies. They were so grateful for us going to their service project last Sunday that one of them invited us over to eat and discuss the Bible with them and some other friends. It turned out to be a fantastic experience. By the end they were all saying about how they now have a different perspective on Mormons where before they were really weird to them, but now they think they're awesome! We also were able to discuss our views on following Christ and becoming sanctified by becoming a true disciple. Ha, it was pretty funny because they started asking us personal questions about our lives back at home, whether or not we had girlfriends, and marriage advice for the future! Ha, it's always kind of weird talking about our lives back at home, sometimes they feel like they don't exist. They invited us to the next one as well so we hope we will be able to develop this connection we have with all of these Fri kirke members.
We had a really good contact this past week. Since we were short on lessons this week we had more time to go knocking doors where we hadn't had that much time to do that recently. So we were knocking and nobody was responding very well so we decided to switch contacting approaches. Before we were introducing ourselves as the missionaries but they would close the door and shut their ears before we could get any farther than that, so we decided to try starting right in on the message. The next door we knocked a lady opened the door and as soon as she opened I said, "Gud har genoprettet Sin kirke igen her på jorden. Vi har en profet til at leder os i vores dage, ligesom i Bibelen. Tror du på Bibelen?" [Translation: God has restored His church again on the earth. We have a prophet to guide us in our days, like in the Bible. Do you believe in the Bible?]
She was caught completely off guard, but after figuring out what exactly I was saying she opened right up. She thought that what I said was an interesting concept and she began to explain to us her beliefs. I then asked her, "Hvorfor tror du på Gud?" [Translation: Why do you believe in God?]
She thought for a second, and then said, "Jeg har ikke noget bevis at Gud eksisterer, men Han har givet mig trøst når jeg har haft det svært." [Translation: I have no proof that God exists, but He has given me comfort when I've had it hard.]
Then I replied, "Du sagde du har ikke et bevis at Gud eksisterer, men vi har noget som har hjulpet os rigtig meget at styrke vores forbindelse til Gud, og det hedder Mormons Bog." [Translation: You said you have no proof that God exists, but we have something that has helped us a lot to strengthen our connection to God, and it's called the Book of Mormon.]
When she found out that we were giving the Book of Mormon out for free she was so excited. We then gave her a passage to read and asked her if we could come back on follow up on her reading and she told us we were always welcome! It just goes to show how preaching the Doctrine really carries the message to the hearts of the people who are ready to accept the Gospel!
I also got to go to a Football game (Soccer) this past week! FC Randers one of the Danish Professional Football teams and one of our members works at the stadium so she got us free tickets! It was really fun and I'll send some pictures!
|FC Randers Professional Soccer Game
The rest of the week was pretty dull. A few lessons here and there were nothing really happened. A few of our positive investigators have been really hard to get in contact with so hopefully this week will be a little better with that! But you can't complain, things are going great here.
Thanks for writing! I love all of your emails. Remember I love you all!
-Ældste Wawro

This is the school page that I cut letters for on Friday. My daughter picked her own patterned paper and a different color of cardstock than what I wanted. The more I involve the kids in the design of their pages, the more I have to smile and bite holes in my tongue. I think I was able to pull it together enough and she will always have the pleasure of knowing it was exactly what she wanted. I'm going to put her class picture on an opposing page, but there's really no point posting it on the web since I would have to wipe out all those cute little faces. Just trust me that it will be the same color background and maybe a photo corner or two out of the green print. Picturing it in your mind yet? Okay, great.
BTW, yesterday's and today's pages were both ones that I started mulling over earlier in the week. I am happy to note that I have not done anything more for any other pages. So I guess I've dropped out of my "come up with way more ideas than you can execute" funk. Whew!

The internet cannot seem to decide on a meaning of Tula. I saw where is was Choctaw for to be tranquil, Sanskrit for born under sign of Libra and German for strength.
The capital or main village of the Tula people in America and the Keepers of Manataka was Tanico located approximately 40 miles southwest of Manataka (Hot Springs) in the area known today as Caddo Gap, Arkansas. The well-worn foot paths between Manataka and Tanico later turned into horse trails, then wagon roads and survives to this day as Highway 70 West.
I do not know if what William Henry said is true but there does seem to be a lot of Tula's around the world.

Interesting. The Hopi spoke of the Ancient ones that lived in caves in the Grand Canyon. These 'spirits' had great knowledge, etc. Scripture tells of the fallen angels and the devil (god of this world - usurping the position from Adam when he fell/separated from God) who is the prince of the air, and that's who we're more in line w/ unless we're connected back w/ our True Creator God: Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Eph 2:2 (KJV). The Hopi were afraid of the 'ancient ones' - repeated them, but realized they had powers they didn't and stayed away from them! Here's one link: http://www.crystalinks.com/gc_egyptconnection.htmlReplyDelete
The very 'Truth' that saves us is the one, because of our fallen nature we reject, and rather gravitate to the fallen angels and dark cherubim that beguiles us away from God -just as he did Eve.

Happy Halloween everyone! This year (as well as last year) we went Trick-or-Treating at the mall. It seems to be the thing to do - with small kids. It was a lot of fun. Sierra really seemed to enjoy it. She even blurted out a "Trick-or-Treat" every now and then. Jake and I got in the action this year and dressed up. Jake was a redneck, Sierra was black cat, I was a flower and Maddie was my little bumble bee.

I just started to learn how to crochet this week. It's kind of funny, Jake has known how to crochet for a few years, but I have never bothered to learn. It has now become an obsession. I am still working on perfecting the single crochet stitch, but I think I've got it down pretty good. I am working on a blanket for one of Sierra's favorite stuffed animals and Jake is working on a cute scarf for Sierra. Yesterday morning, when Sierra woke up, the first thing she did was grab some yarn and needles and started to "crochet". She wants to do everything we do.

Party Time!
Sierra's Birthday was a success! She really loved opening her presents. It's fun now that she is old enough to know what to do with the presents. She couldn't wait to play with all of her new toys. Of course, she got to stay up late and play. It would be so much fun to be little again.
She really got into it this year!
Sierra's monkey cake that I made. I am very happy with the way it turned out. I almost didn't want to eat it.

Children's Museum
Today we all went to the Children's Museum. Sierra had so much fun. I had never been there and am glad that I finally went. It is a big open room with about 15 different stations like sand, blocks, magnets, puppets, basketball.... You can just sit down on the couch and let your kids free. I have a feeling we will be going to there a lot this winter.

Finger Paints
This morning, Sierra and I finger painted. I made some homemade finger paints and we went to town. Sierra had tons of fun and made a HUGE mess. I knew it would be messy, but I didn't think it would be that messy! Paint splatters all over the wall, floor, chairs, table...
After we were finished Sierra continued her fun in the tub. She LOVES to take a bath. It was a fun morning and I feel good that Sierra got to spend the morning doing something fun and something a little different than normal.

Our team has started conducting nighttime electrofishing surveys of 16 Michigan lakes, meaning long days and lots of excitement!
I mentioned in the previous post that our big research question is, "what habitats are best for Largemouth Bass?" We are using net pens to confine fish to particular habitats and follow their growth, but of course fish can swim from habitat to habitat in many lakes. So, we are complementing the net pen research with a study of Largemouth Bass populations across lakes that provide different habitats. Some lakes have lots of aquatic vegetation while others have only a few spots. How much is enough? How much is too much? These are questions that have been addressed in the fisheries research to some extent, but most studies are from southern lakes choked with vegetation. Not much use up in Michigan! So, we are setting out to study these questions by comparing the Largemouth populations of many lakes to maps of aquatic vegetation and other habitat characteristics.
That means we get to go out and catch thousands of fish. The best way to do that is electrofishing, which I've already written about here. Here's what it looks like from my perspective on the boat.
