Happy Monday!
I've got big plans for this week:
I'm going to get my learner's permit*, I think.
I need to try to do a least a teeny tiny bit of Christmas shopping, so my friends and family receive thoughtful presents, not the usual last minute junk I pay too much money for and they don't like.
I'm moving next week, so this week I need to start packing and pick out a paint color for my new room. Any suggestions? It gets lots of light in the morning.
How about you? Anything exciting this week?
*No, I don't have a driver's license. I keep meaning to get one, and one summer a couple of years ago, I even took driver's ed, but the actually taking the test has always evaded me. This time, I will do it. I swear.

High five for girls who have no license! Woot.ReplyDelete
I failed my driver's test the first time I took it. My mom got back in the car when it was over and I burst into tears. We lied to the rest of the family when I got home and said it was too rainy to take the test. My mom was the best about that! :)ReplyDelete
I don't have my license either! I need to get on that...ReplyDelete
that's awesome, good luck with the learner's permit! i passed on the first try, but i shouldn't have, being that i knocked down a cone trying to parallel park.ReplyDelete
My mom passed her first driver's test only because my aunt (her twin, and taking the test with the same instructor immediately following my mom) was a big ol' flirt! Or at least that's how my mom tells it when Bets isn't around...ReplyDelete

You've no doubt read the one-paragraph scouting report on teams which make the NCAA Tournament each year. The Iowa State summary could read something like this:All five players handle and shoot the ball well. Love to shoot the 3 and make a lot of them. Rebound well despite being outsized most nights. A high-octane offense – based upon great spacing – is the foundation for Hoiberg's versatile collection of shooters. Super-sub McGee is one of the NCAA's best long-range bombers. Everyone recognizes the Cyclones' dependence upon the three-point shot. But, did you know that Iowa State is also the only team in the Big 12 which has made more than half of its two-point field goal attempts? ISU has connected on 50.6% of shots inside the arc. K-State (.496), Texas (.491), Kansas (.487), Oklahoma (.485), Oklahoma State (.478) and Baylor (.463) are the other schools making more than 45 percent on 2's. Other than the Longhorns, those schools are positioned for an NCAA Tournament bid. Because the Cyclones spread the court so well, good ball movement leads to open three-point attempts or strong cuts the basket. That's a lethal combination. Perhaps, the one-paragraph summary needs to be edited. It might be appropriate to add a line saying the combination of a terrific perimeter attack with an efficient inside and mid-range game makes the Cyclones one tough unit to defend. That's a more accurate assessment than just saying the Cyclones shoot 3's. They do both and do them quite effectively.

The process of selling your home can be a grueling and long one, but with these great tips hopefully we can make the process a little less overwhelming.
1. Talk with an Agent
First things first, find an agent you really like and talk with them before you begin the process of selling your home. It's important to find an agent you like and who understands your needs, because you will be working with them a lot throughout the entire process. It is also key to talk with the agent first before making any changes to your home. An agent can provide you with inside advice about the value of your home, timing, or things you might need to change. Our agents at Remax Legacy are well seasoned in the real estate industry, and want to customize the selling or buying process to best fit your needs! Because of our extensive experience, we are able to offer advice on how to get more money for your home, or what to do to make the process go as quickly as possible.
2. Create an Appealing Profile
Marketing your home is one of the most important steps when going through the selling process. Creating your home's online profile is the first step, then factoring in social media comes next. A great profile for your home is important because it can make all the difference for potential buyers who are scrolling through hundreds of homes at once. There are three factors that are key when building the profile: good-quality photos, realistic photos and a good description of the home.
Photos that are of good quality truly make all the difference, but also pictures that are true to the size of the home. There are many photographers who can do wonders, and take pictures that make the rooms in your home look a lot bigger or dramatic than they actually are. While a little enhancement is always beneficial, you don't want photos that look too unrealistic because when people actually visit the home it's bad for them to be disappointed. The description of the home is also important, because you want your home to sound as appealing as possible. This means no typos, proper grammar and lots of descriptive words. Other beneficial tools include video tours of the home, a layout and any social media posts regarding the home.
Our agents at Remax Legacy are more than willing to help with all of these steps. We have the means to help you take fantastic photos and videos of your home that make it look desirable. We can also walk you through the best ways to go about marketing your home to the public.
3. Adjust any easy fixes
Are there any weird quirks about your house that you've learned to live with? Fix them before the open house rolls around! Some real estate agents might suggest than remodeling certain parts of your home before putting it on the marketing will make it sell quicker, which is not a lie, but there are a lot of faster and more inexpensive changes you can make. Retouch and paint that may be chipped on cabinets, walls or furniture. Screw tight any loose hinges on doors or cabinets. If there are any weird sounds coming from the bathrooms or kitchen, a pipe might be loose or need to be replaced, so make things simple and book a quick consult with a plumber to resolve the issue. Although the house can probably be sold without the small changes, it will make look the interior of the home look more clean and presentable.
4. Curb Appeal is Important
The exterior of your home is a big factor when it comes to selling your home. Potential buyers may look at multiple pictures of your home, but when they come to take an in-person tour, the exterior of your home will be their first impression. This concept is called curb appeal because the exterior of your home can say a lot about its value. Even if you are not hosting an open house yet, if your home is on the market and on real estate websites, the exterior should be in tip-top shape. Potential buyers will start driving by as soon as your listing goes live. Below is a checklist to getting your curb appeal in check. The first few items are easy and pretty much essential, while the last few are optional but recommended.
- Mow the lawn
- Power wash the driveway
- Clean up any toys or trash from outside
- Wash the windows
- Clean the gutters
- Add plants/ flowers where possible
- Make the doorstep inviting with a wreath or doormat
- Fix any paint touch-ups
5. Home Staging is Key
Any agent will recommend an open house when trying to sell your home. The better the open house, the faster your home will sell. People want to picture your home on the market as their home while they're walking through. Although your taste and color palette may be great, many agents will recommend staging your home. IF you have already found a new home and your home on the market is empty, staging your home can be very easy. The rooms need to be filled with just enough furniture to create an inviting environment. Homes that have been staged are proved to sell 80% faster and for 20% higher than homes that have not been staged. If your family is still living in your home that's on the market, then you must make sure that when the open house rolls around, your home is the cleanest it can be. Agents might still recommend swapping out some furniture to make the rooms look more appealing.
Regardless of which stage in the process you are at; our agents are here to help with whatever you need. Give us a call, take a look at our social media or check out our website today for more information!

Dealing with the complexities of your Long Term Disability policy can create tension and frustration, which can move the focus away from self-care and healing. Our clients contact us with many questions, including the concern about their group Long Term Disability (LTD) claim being impacted by their Social Security case. The frequently misunderstood relationship between group LTD benefits and other disability benefits can be simplified with further examination.
Why is this relationship important? You should understand that most Plans give the insurer the right to "offset" Social Security Disability benefits if your Social Security Disability claim is approved. For example, if your group LTD benefit is $2200 per month and you get $1000 per month in Social Security Disability, the LTD benefit will "offset" the $1000 and pay you $1200 per month. From your perspective, you still get a total of $2200 per month. From the insurer's perspective, they have reduced the amount of their liability to you. It is for this reason (and to their advantage) that your insurer has a motivation to assist you with obtaining your Social Security Disability benefits. Often, even if you are not yet receiving Social Security Disability benefits, the Plan allows your insurer to estimate these benefits and take this estimated amount as an offset.
Social Security has approved my disability case, but my LTD Claim has been denied.
Even though many courts have recognized the inconsistency between getting Social Security disability benefits and yet being denied LTD benefits by an insurer, insurance companies still continue to deny these claims. Insurance companies will argue that the criteria for determining disability is somewhat different between Social Security Disability Benefits and Group Long Term Disability Benefits. One reason that your insurer might deny your LTD claim is something called the Treating Physician Rule. Unlike your insurer, the Social Security Administration must apply a "treating physician rule" in which they must defer to the opinions of your treating physician. The insurer might also argue that it had evidence (such as medical opinions or surveillance) which the Social Security Administration did not.
Perhaps even more disturbing is when your insurer continues to deny LTD benefits even after arranging for a third-party firm to handle your Social Security claim, and that party successfully obtains Social Security benefits for you. Again the insurer will argue that the disability definitions and the available evidence were different. As to the evidence, unless you insist, it may be that the Social Security advocate selected by your insurer never provides the insurer with the evidence it developed in support of your disability. In this way, the insurer retains the benefit of having an advocate for the Social Security offsets, but protects itself from being confronted with the evidence supporting your disability. If your insurer has retained a third party to assist you with your Social Security claim, it is essential that you make sure the insurer's file includes all correspondence and evidence contained in file of the Social Security advocate.
We encourage you to contact our office when things become too complicated or confusing, and to read through the information we provide so that you may become well-informed as an advocate for the benefits to which you are entitled. If you have questions about your Long Term Disability claim, call Kantor & Kantor at (800) 446-7529 for a no-cost consultation or find us on the web at www.kantorlaw.net.

Hapari Swimwear Review
Like most women, I have difficulty trying to find that perfect swimsuit to wear each summer.
Which is probably why I have worn the same two suits for the last six years!
I figured it was time for a makeover.
Thanks to Hapari I was able to select the ideal swimwear for me from their fabulous collection!
The two pieces I chose were:
This is by far the cutest swimsuit I have ever owned!
I absolutely love it!
I feel confident and beautiful while wearing it.
I am no supermodel but I think it does suit my body type perfectly. Maybe I will even get brave and post a picture of myself in it some day soon.
The swimsuit is extremely comfortable to wear. I actually felt like I was naked while wearing it – it felt that light on my body.
Hapari offers a wide variety of swimwear including tankini tops, one piece suits, bikinis, and bottoms. Other collections include women's clothing, junior boys and girls swimwear, plus size swimwear, mastectomy swimwear and even men's swimwear.
A great thing about Hapari's collection is that it is designed to suit all body types. Their suits enhance the curves you have and love while hiding the curves you do not want seen.
I am not one to wear one piece swimsuits. I actually dread them.
I like the option of being able to wear bottoms that cover my trouble area – my thunder thighs – and the sarong bottoms do just that for me. The cute tie and slit on the side of the sarong give a little illusion that the skirt is separate from the bikini underneath. I think that is a neat idea. Plus, it adds a little flair to your outfit.
Another reason why I like Hapari's collection is that you can mix and match tops and bottoms as you please! This way your swimwear is never boring!
An interesting tip I learned is that their tankini tops can be worn in three different styles: halter-top, criss-cross or tank. They share this tip and more of their swimwear secrets here. This is excellent because one of my previous suits was a halter-top and if I tied the knot too tight, my neck would hurt. So, I love being able to wear the tankini criss-cross or tank style.
I had a very difficult time deciding what print to choose. Hapari has such a beautiful and colourful collection of prints and patterns. They definitely cover all bases in terms of selection.
I can assure you that you will stand out at the beach with a swimsuit from Hapari.
Every woman deserves to feel good about themselves and you definitely will if you wear one of these beautiful swimsuits!

I think Hapari has some of the best suits around – very cute with great styles.
July 12, 2012 at 8:31 AM
I have two hapari suits and I like them a lot too, the skirt is super cute!
July 12, 2012 at 8:38 AM
I haven't tried them before – but i love that suit – super cute!
July 12, 2012 at 8:39 AM
Maybe Hapari can give me the confidence I need. Hope they have tops with some extra lift/support/anything…

I've seen posts/reviews about Hapari before and they make me want to go out and buy one! Maybe my next bathing suit will be a Hapari! I need a new one!
July 12, 2012 at 12:42 PM
what a cute suit! I haven't heard of Hapari before but I will definitely check them out- thanks!

These are my new running shoes. They are New Balance 1224's I actually bought these at a shoe store for runners. I bought them at First Place sports (Baymeadows Store). They were quite busy on the Saturday afternoon when I went in. But they got to me pretty quickly. Then they fitted me for my shoes. The guy (Thanks J J) that helped had me walk around so he could look at how my feet hit the ground. Then he measured my feet. Then he went and got 3 different pairs of shoes. I tried them all on and was able to go walk on a treadmill for a few minutes. I also walked around the store. This was the best shoe buying experience I have every had buying a pair of shoes. Yesterday I took them out for the first run. The kids and I are doing the run/walk thing trying to build up our endurance. These shoes were very comfortable right out of the box. I also bought some fancy new socks. I ran 2 miles and other then being a little winded, My feet felt great. I am looking forward to putting many miles on these shoes. Did I mention I am training for the Half Marathon in February?

Beef Stew
Tonight we had beef stew for dinner. This is the ingredients in the pressure cooker. The beef is in the bottom and I had just poured in the veggies. Publix has these small bags of mixed potatoes. They are all grown in Florida(yeah!). I really like the purple ones. They turn a little brown when you cook them but they still taste yummy. There is also carrots in the pot and in the other pot is some rice. I was going to take a picture of dinner on a plate but got too busy and forgot. The kids cleaned up the back porch and set up the table w/umbrella and even a screen give us a little privacy it was so nice. Plus my Mom came over for dinner tonight.The pressure cooker was my Grandmothers. I love using this thing. I am able to cook the beef stew for a total of 18 minutes and the beef just falls off the fork. I can't imagine cooking it any other way. Plus each time I use this pot I am reminded of my Grandmother. My Mom still talks about this pot from when she was growing up. I have many more good meals to look forward to making in this pot. Actually both pots on the stove came from my Grandmothers kitchen. And the recipe came from Tami's Mom. Just keepin' it in the family

Running Along
Today I started my new training program. I am going to run a Half Marathon in February. Today we ran/walked 6 miles. We walked 1 minute and then ran 1 minute. So we ended up walking 3 miles and running 3 miles. It took a little over an hour to complete. My legs are a little sore. Hopefully tomorrow they wont hurt too much. I have to teach a class at Woodcraft.

Fall is here
Fall is here. I am usually sad for that to happen but this year is a little different. I bought a canoe last year and I have been spending time out on the water. I have been doing some camping out of the canoe as well. I spent several nights camped out on rivers last winter and into the spring. Eventually it got to hot and I had to wait out the summer. Fall is here and I will be able to start camping again.
Last night was the first night it was cool enough to sleep with the windows open. We were running the exhaust fan in my shop which pulls air through the house. This morning it was just a little cool inside. I have not had to turn the fan back on yet. It is quite comfortable inside the house with just the ceiling fans and what breeze is blowing though the house.

So the other day the kids and I were taking Miles for a walk and it was windy. Miles had his ears folded back tight against his head. One of the kids said he looked aerodynamic, then the other one said no ear- o- dynamic. I wished I would have taken a picture of it. But I did think it was a great play on words.

Final Reflection
Now in thinking about my classroom design it will probably look something like this. One wall will be a wooden jungle gym with varying levels going all the way to the roof. There will be 12-15 spots or levels each one will have enough room on it for a pillow and a student. Below the jungle gym there will be a small library with a couple of hundred books. That will be my reading area. Students especially boys will read more if they are not in a standard desk so if they can climb up and find a perch to sit in and read I think it will work better than a traditional reading corner.
Second wall will be my media wall lined with as many computers as I can find. One per students hopefully, but more likely 10. A row of ten computers and then over top of the monitors there will be a projector screen from my computer and any other media needed such as a TV/DVD combo, CD players, speakers etc.
Third wall will be my arts wall with musical instruments such as guitars, drums, microphones etc for the kids. In a perfect set up it would be raised on a little stage so we could really have fun with the drama portion of things. This will be lots fun busting out a jam in the middle of third period. I'm sure the noise will piss off a few teachers, but it will be fun never the less.
Fourth wall will be student lockers with my resources above them. This last wall will also have a door and windows to the outside. So once I get yelled at for busting a jam we can all run outside and laugh. In the middle of the room there will be big round tables with enough chairs for all my students. No-desks, not even one for me. I just need a little podium so I present to the class but that's it. There is my perfect classroom, this might change but as for today this is it.
Last subject I wanted to talk about was the simple miss take I made with Dean's wiki. Dean has been pushing for us to embed our video's into our blogs so they just fire right up once you click on them. It's a good idea, but I was on Dean's wiki watching a video he had on wiki's made easy or something similar to that. I watched the video and when it finished up popped a bunch of other video's "UTube" connected with Dean's theme of Wiki's. Most of the other videos were fine, but one of them was of a young girl 12 or 13 dancing to a song called Wiki. This is where the problem occurred because here I am looking in one corner of the screen and there is a picture of my university professor and in the middle of his wiki page there is a hugely inappropriate video going on. I was shocked and disgusted, and alot of parents will make that same mistake that I did and it could turn out horrible. So all I'm saying is I'm going to stick to linking them for now because at least if I was on UTube's site and this video was playing there, it would have no direct link to Dean. But because you could see the images and Dean's opening page it was a problem. Anyway I think I've rambled on enough everyone have a great summer and I'm keeping all your links so we will hopefully be able to help each other when we get into our classrooms.

More Digital
Digital Life vs. Life Digital
Monday, August 6, 2007
copyright overview
The controlled creativity aspect only relates to people that sign something away other wise we as a whole have the ability to create freely anything we want. The terrorist war over copyrights I agree is completely about money and nothing else, but I always attend that if the product is good people will still pay to have it. When I played in a band we always had our music on our website in MP3 format, which doesn't sound as good and defined as wave files or CD quality but it was free, so if you liked it then you could go out and buy it. If it's a question of right or wrong I don't know the answer, but I do know that open source software should rule. There is no reason we should have to pay the crazy amounts of money for software while hardware keeps getting cheaper and cheaper. And finally is it in our hands to instill change in this matter, well I leave with a quote I got from another band I worked with momentarily, "Talk minus action equals a good dinner party. Which kind of says it all, if you believe something is wrong stand and yell against it because it will just keep going on and on with no one to stop it otherwise. I think I'm getting a little too preachy now so I better go to bed. Brian Nenson 3rd yr Ed student.
other videos
The anti-bullying campaign was excellent also. Those number's are disturbing because it's things like this that we as teachers sometimes overlook or just plain miss. Along with everything else we have to be able to see bullying in the classroom and playground and effectively deal with it. There is no reason any child should feel not welcome or safe with in the boundaries of school and beyond.
My daughter was bullied when we moved to a south end school in the city. I thought we where moving her away from the problem purchasing a home in a nicer area, but we where introduced to a whole new style of bullying. Not only physical while she was at school, but cyber bullying while she was at home on media like MSN and websites built by the other kids. I did what I could but the principle felt he was in control over the situation and he was not. Anyway it's important that we listen to kids make sure that their environment(s) are all safe. These videos really show kids and teacher's that this should be a high priority.
wiki while you work
If you could handle the chirping of the birds which for some reason bugged me Dave (i can't remember his last name) had some great ideas for high school students that cuts down on plagiarism and makes teachers partners with students in the learning process.
Most of all There was WIKI-MAN(you know who you are) which I thought was the greatest song ever....NOT, but in a fun way, absolutely. I really liked the heavy metal umlaut wikipedia post that showed that when vandals arrived and started corrupting the page it was in some cases under a minute to get the site returned to it's regular state. This means lots to us as future teachers because we can hopefully avoid any of these vulgar situations and or use them to talk to the kids about digital vandalism. I like also the fact that heavy metal umlaut won't be found in encyclopedia Britannica.
Lastly I don't know if I've missed something on one of Dean's videos called "perros wiki wiki", but that teenage girl dancing in front of the camera for 3 minutes seemed what we are all trying to keep our children and students away from. Maybe there was a message I missed or I'm taking this out of context, but I thought it was very distasteful and extremely inappropriate. I have a 13 year old daughter and maybe this is why I am even posting something about this and not just dismissing it. This should be removed immediately.

Anyway on to some serious business about RSS's. I have just recently finished reading the chapter on RSS's and once again I am star struck on how cool this is. Simplifing a search is going to save huge amounts of time, but also keep up to date with things that are not even education related. For example I'm a huge hockey fan, but especially during the year there are times when trades and things happen and not aware of for many days because I can't keep visiting team websites. This way the info is brought to me with one place to check for all my teams and there are RSS links for CFL, NFL and probably other sports that I don't care about. I was explaining this to my brother how RSS's works and he was lost just like me, but about 40 minutes later he called me up and had a reader and was loving it just like me.
OK I know what your thinking lame Blog if you don't relate it to education since this is the reason most of us are here. Here I go..... what if we introduced parents to RSS's and then sent school websites, wiki's, blogs and everything else right to them directly. WOW talk about collaboration with parents they would know everything from expectations to assignment dates all by opening their reader. Making parents then aware of email addresses and wiki's abilities and you should be able to talk with parents more often then two parent/teacher conferences a year. More communication equals less problems and all this would take would maybe be a in-service night at the beginning of the year to show parents how RSS works(for those that don't already know) and your laughing all the way to the bank. Very cool. Brian Nenson 3rd yr Ed student.

What kind of books did you read while growing up? Chances are that you read at least one Dr. Seuss book in your life. At first they all just seem like a crazy story made up in a crazy part of the mind, but take another look and you just might learn something more.
Have you ever read The Sneeches? It tells of these creatures that are segregated into stars and no-stars on their stomachs. Seuss wrote this book to tell young children about segregation and racism. Seuss even experienced it himself as he was mistaken for a Jew, even though he was a German Christian. Seuss was made fun of and he saw others in the same situation and felt the need to do something about it. Seuss was not always on the right side though, as during World War II he was for the Japanese imprisonment and believed it was good how we treated them. I believe that Seuss had a change of heart when he realized what he was saying years later when he began to write Horton Hears a Who. Continue reading "Dr. Seuss"

Re: Munn Family in Portage County
I remember the farm just like it was yesterday.I now live in Erie, just moved in April of this year.I have lived almost all my life around the Hiram, Welshfield area. I am Hazel Lee's daughter Diane.I remember summers when we would come to grandpa's and stay for about two weeks.He had a collie dog that would hang around the milk house and grandpa would throw the milk strainers out the door.That dog would eat the whole thing, I think they were paper or some kind of cloth.He also had a big old. mean bull.That thing got off his peg one time and pinned me and my sister Virigina under the hay forks.Our screaming brought grandpa to the rescue.He had two old belgium work horses.They looked so big to me.One of my jobs was to gather the eggs from the hen house that was by the barn.Sometimes the hens wouldn't get off the nest so grandpa would have to come in and reach under the hen. Of course she would peck grandpa and us kids refused to do it unless he would get the eggs that the hens would not get off.He also had a peach orchard that was down the water lane in back of the house.He sold eggs and peaches.He usually just put a can out and trusted people to pay what they took.One time Grandpa Sitko remembers grandfather loosing the monthly milk check while he was plowing.I guess he put it in his pocket and it fell out.Mr. Sitko said grandpa didn't get upset just said he'd have to get another and I guess they did send him one.I also remember sitting out back on the porch and swinging or rocking on the old metal glider.When we got older and grandpa lived with us he would let my sister and I drive his black lincoln around.One sunday we went to Geneva on the lake and eat.We made all the windows go up and down the radio antena and seats.Grandpa just sat in the back not saying a word.Manys the time we would go to Mantua corners and get pop and candy. Sometimes we went to Aurora auction to sell the left over eggs.I have so many wonderful memories of the farm and grandpa.It is too bad my own daughters didn't have a grandfather that they could remember.The other thing is grandfather always gave us $20 dollars for christmas.That was like hitting the lotto.Thanks for the words.

A good way to approach this type of question is to use the following sentence: "A ______ could not exist without ______.". Find the word that names a necessary part of the underlined word.
Answer: Option C
An oar puts a rowboat into motion. A foot puts a skateboard into motion. The answer is not choice a because running is not an object that is put into motion by a foot. Sneaker (choice b) is incorrect because it is something worn on a foot. Jumping (choice d) is incorrect because although you do need feet to jump, jumping is not an object that is put into motion by means of a foot.
Answer: Option A
Guide and direct are synonyms, and reduce and decrease are synonyms. The answer is not choice b or d because neither means the same as reduce. (Choice c) is incorrect because increase is the opposite of reduce.
Answer: Option D
Candid and indirect refer to opposing traits. Honest and untruthful refer to opposing traits. The answer is not choice a because frank means the same thing as candid.Wicked (choice b) is incorrect because even though it refers to a negative trait, it does not mean the opposite of honest. (Choice c) is incorrect because truthful and honest mean the same thing.
A gym is a place where people exercise. A restaurant is a place where people eat. Food (choice a) is not the answer because it is something people eat, not a place or location where they eat. The answer is not choice b or c because neither represents a place where people eat.
Answer: Option B
An artist makes paintings; a senator makes laws. The answer is not choice a because an attorney does not make laws and a senator is not an attorney. Choice c is incorrect because a senator is not a politician. Constituents (choice d) is also incorrect because a senator serves his or her constituents.

We started day 4 with breakfast with Jeannie's cousin and her fierce dog Ivan. Jeannie had not seen Amber who lives in Antioch California in about 10 years, so it was a great reunion.
Here we are at Cotongna.
After dinner we got on the subway to go to the Rangers Giants game. We met up with Katie, Dave, and their son Parker.
Although this Giant fanatic tried to rally his team, the Rangers played well tonight winning for the first time ever in this ball park by a score of 5-0?

sometimes one can find that once on has arrived at a place, one isn't really there yet. i, myself, have had this experience, and thus i will tell you all about it. it all starts with my decision to participate in unc som's (university of north carolina school of medicine) advanced-practice selective in porto (oporto), portugal, and the following chronicle's my arrival in said city.
the evening of april 2, 2011, i'm making the final leg of my journey to portugal, flying overnight from toronto. i sat in the airport right before boarding the plane, gearing up for this journey, i take a special concoction of medications that will prepare my body and mind for the experience. first is taking some anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), as being cooped up and cramped in the sitting position for 6 hours straight is no fun time at all on an old guy's knees and lower back. for the mind, to aid in my adjustment to the five hour time difference, i managed to acquire some sleep aids: one in the form of a long acting benzodiazepine and the other simply (or not so simply, depending on your level of knowledge of chemistry) melatonin. it's key to take melatonin several hours before you want to start your new sleep-wake cycle so that your body can make the proper adjustments, but i'm going to go into too much detail about that. you can ask your doctor about it... so, fueled for the glorious six-hour slumber i'm about to embark upon, while on a plane crossing the atlantic ocean, i take my seat and promptly pass out... six hours later, "hello, portugal!"
now, i had skimmed over the blogs of my "predecessors," as one preceptor so interestingly described them, and the directions to get to the lodgings (i.e. world spru, which you should absolutely look into) seemed pretty straight forward:
step 1 - fly to porto
step 2 - take metro from airport to campaña
step 3 – take a right out of the metro up to world spru (only taking about 2 minutes and something or other about a glass wall and some taxis and buses)
it is on this third step where an inglorious journey began. step 1, check. step 2, check. step 3… i make a right out of the metro and head up the street. coincidentally, or providentially, i run into a missionary, a group the missionary's working with, and the missionary's wife who happens to be from shelby, nc (my hometown). i kid you not. as i would ordinarily stop here and make commentary about shelby, this is neither the time nor the place for such. just google and/or wikipedia it.
"where are you trying to get to?" says the missionary
"world spru…?" i reply. he goes and takes the flabbergasted i-have-no-idea-what-you're-referring expression, then he calls up someone on his cell who further has no idea to where i'm referring, even getting nowhere when asking the members of his group, some of whom are from the area.
"are you sure you're going the right way?
"sure. the directions say make a right and go up the hill on the street where the taxis and buses are." but i don't really see any taxis or buses.
"oh, but there's another main road over by the metro that also goes up the hill…"
if ever God had given me a sign, and i refused to acknowledge it, that was the time.
longer story shorter, i ignored a pretty fair warning from the universe that i was going in the right direction, and please spare me the gross-overgeneralizations about men not asking for directions. i ended up walking in quite the circuitous route to basically end up exactly where i had gotten out of the metro, which is where world spru is located. right beside the campaña center, the residence is literally connected to the metro. maybe it was the benzo still in my system. maybe it was the fatigue of not having slept well for the previous week and a half finally catching up to me. maybe it's the fact that i'm not the sharpest crayon in the box (i know i'm usually not a fan of clichés, but i particularly like that one for some odd inexplicable reasons). when i think about it now, it seems so simple. "when you get off make a right… taxis… and buses to your right behind the glass" doesn't mean get off the tram and make a right. it means when you get out of the metro station (campaña) make a right, onto the road that is parallel with the glass wall…

The first reading of today's liturgy, taken from the Acts of Apostles, tells us how Philip took the gospel message to Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them and the people welcomed the message. In the second reading, Peter encourages us never to give up our faith due to the persecution and challenges we may encounter since Jesus first suffered for us and left us an example to follow. Then in the Gospel, Jesus said to his disciples; "If you love me, you will keep mycommandment."
Beginning with the first reading, one significant event that happened before Philip took the gospel toSamaria was the execution of Stephen which was approved by Saul (Paul) and the persecution ofChristians. In Acts 8:1-4 it says "And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. But Saul laid waste theChurch and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them toprison. Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word." This shows that persecutionof Christians has been there from the beginning of the early Church but the Church survived becauseGod's Spirit was with the Church all the time and most importantly that those who have accepted themessage never allowed persecution to be an obstacle to proclaiming the power in the word of Godand spreading the gospel message.
Today, the Church faces many attacks and persecutions, from every angle in the family lives, marriage institution, the priesthood and her teaching on human life. There is a deliberate attempt todethrone God and the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Church from our society. There is concertedeffort to assign the human person the role of God and make the Church teaching less important today. As God's divine institution His Spirit will always guide the church because he has made apromise that "the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Mt 16:18). But most importantly, hersurvival depends on how we the believers are willing to remain firm to defend the faith, amidst thesepersecutions and attacks. We are invited like Philip to proclaim our belief strongly against all theseattacks.
This is a similar message St. Peter gives in the second reading, where he encourages us "that it isbetter to suffer for doing good, if that be the will of God, than for doing evil." During the Easter season all our second readings come from the letter of St. Peter in which he exalts the Christians tokeep up the faith that has been received from Christ. He wants every Christian to be convinced of thefaith and be deeply convinced of the reason for which he/she believes so as to justify to oneself andothers the reason for the belief in God. The major justification for our faith in Christ is that Jesus died and rose from the dead and that is why we are confident that our belief is credible and our faith certain. This explains our hope in Christ and St. Peter wants us to be ready to give that as our reasonfor our faith. It also means that because we are certain of our conviction we should be ready to sufferfor doing good than give in to doing evil.
The final message in today's liturgy is the words of Jesus to his disciples and to each of us. He says,"If you love me you will keep my commandment." What Jesus implies in this statement is that there isonly one test of love and that is obedience. It was by his obedience that Jesus showed his love ofGod, and it is by our obedience that we must show our love for Jesus. To Jesus real love is not aneasy thing but, it is shown only in true obedience. This is also why in 1 Sam 15:22 when Saul givesreason that he did not carry out the instructions given to him by the prophet because he kept some ofthe sheep and oxen to sacrifice to the Lord, Samuel replied, "Does the Lord, delight in burnt offeringsand sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is betterthan the fat of rams." The obedience here implies our willingness to respond positively to the words of Jesus. How do we pay attention to his teaching and the teachings of the Church in our individuallives and family lives? The true test of our love for Jesus is our ability to keep to what he teaches.BACK TO LIST

There were no heavy gates blocking our view, no walls. There was only a wire netting through which we could clearly take in the beauty of the whole garden.
The owner must certainly be one who is fond of her garden, but who in New Zealand is not? We saw a lady in coveralls raking the fallen leaves and thinking that she was the owner of the colourful beds and borders, complimented her on her well-planned garden. She was pleased, and invited us to take a closer look.
We were delighted...and what a truly delightful garden it was.
|I just love the garden sign. Wish I had one like it.

Irene Mittelberg (Aachen)
Saturday, May 19th
Buchanan A201
Based on a comparative semiotic analysis of static abstract works of art and dynamic gestural images, this paper explores the role of embodied conceptual structures as driving forces in the constitution and interpretation of visual signs. One of the underlying assumptions is that despite their metonymic "spareness", abstract depictions in paintings and "descriptive gestures, those forerunners of line drawing" (Arnheim 1969: 117; cf. Müller 1998) enable interpreters to relate to the actions represented or performed in front of them based on internalized patterns of cognitive, physical and cultural experiences (cf. Bredekamp 2010; Krois et al. 2007).
It will be argued that the "structure of the world" (Merleau-Ponty 1962: 216) as exhibited in selected paintings by Paul Klee and coverbal gestures may be said to be motivated, to a certain degree, by image and force schemata (Johnson 1987; Lakoff & Johnson 1999; Oakley 2007; Sweetser 1998; Talmy 1983). As gesture research has shown, communicative body motion and posture may reflect schemata such as PATH, OBJECT, CONTAINER, CENTER-PERIPHERY, BALANCE, COMPULSION, etc. (Cienki 2005; Mittelberg 2010; Williams 2008). These dynamic patterns seem to guide not only processes of experiencing and interpreting the world, but also gestural instances of "exbodiment" (Mittelberg 2008: 149) of inner images and inclinations.
Building on these insights, the results of image schema analyses of artworks by Paul Klee will be presented. In the selected images, two of which are shown in figures 1 and 2 below, human figures take center stage, trying to stay balanced in one way or another, while being exposed to different kinds of physical forces. Furthermore, attention will be drawn to mechanisms of pictorial composition and to the ways in which image-schematic structures may be said to underlie such static images. In the artworks analyzed for the purpose of this study, the schemata BALANCE, COMPULSION, PATH, CENTER/PERIPHERY, LEFT/RIGHT, UP/DOWN, etc. were the most prominent.
Finally, a comparison will be made with video and motion data recordings of three native speakers of American English describing their encounter with the same artworks inside a motion capture lab. The speakers, building the center of their personal gesture space, use there full bodies – through shifting weight from side to side, inclinations of the torso, as well as head, arm and hand movements – to describe their perceptual experience of formal and semantic qualities of the artworks presented on a large screen in front of them. Analyses of the video and motion capture data brought to light underlying image schemas and metaphorical projections. An example of a freeze of the trajectories constituted by a speaker's hand motions is shown in fig. 3.
This paper aims to offer glimpses at "felt qualities" of experience and meaning (Johnson 2005: 31), hoping to shed light on some physical dimensions of people's subjective understanding of artworks, which may be seen as "exemplary cases of embodied, immanent meaning" (Johnson 2007: 234; cf. also Brandt 2006; Sullivan 2009; Turner 2006).

Lots of stuff going on this month. First off, we have the biggest ever exhibition of Konstantin Korovin's work at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. This is going on till August 12, 2012. You may recall my brief post about this artist a few days ago.
Still in the Tretyakov is an exhibition of Nikolai Fechin celebrating the 130th anniversary of his birth. In his own way an Impressionist, Fechin was a student of the celebrated Ivan Repin. This exhibition goes on till July 29, 2012.
Yet another exhibition at the Tretyakov is that of Victor Vasnetsov – Preparatory Works for the Murals of St. Vladimir's Cathedral in Kiev. 1885-1896. This ends 8 September 2013 – you have no excuse if you miss it.
Then there's an exhibition of early 20th century Nonconformist and contemporary Russian art at the Museum of Private Collections, Moscow, ending on 26 August 2012. The New York Times has an interesting article on it.
Outside of Russia, the Poles have arranged an exhibition of the brilliant photographer Alexander Rodchenko. 'Rodchenko began as a painter and then became an important designer. His innovative layouts for magazines, posters and typography changed the visual art culture of his time; he was particularly adept at photomontage, an avant-garde art form used widely in Europe in the 1920s and '30s to illustrate magazines and for advertising and political posters.' (From the Wall Street Journal.) The exhibition continues through 19 August 2012 at the National Museum in Krakow.
And in Basel, Switzerland, the Museum Tinguely is holding an exhibition of the oeuvre of Vladimir Tatlin, a famed artist of the Russian and Soviet avant-garde. Tatlin started as a painter and moved to his so-called counter-reliefs: '… an art form created by Tatlin after visiting Pablo Picasso, whom he admired greatly, in Paris. It constitutes a challenge to previous forms of painting and sculpture, and attains its effect solely through its organisation of diverse materials in space.' There's an excellent series of articles on it at the World Socialist Web Site. The exhibition continues through 14 October 2012.

8/4 bike 82 mins at Lake Crabtree on the TORC beginner/intermediate ride
HR avg 144 max 182
So today wasn't quite so terrifying, ok, it wasn't terrifying at all. Except for maybe when we watched the crazy guys at the pump/jump track thing. I didn't fall, and I managed to complete almost all the obstacles I attempted. Michael, who led the group, spent a good amount of time explaining various skills and techniques as we encountered opportunities to practice them on the trails. I feel like I learned a lot and I only hope I can implement it on my next ride. Brian, who led our first ride the week before, was there too, but he went with the intermediate group today. Our friends, E&C were there along with their friend Will. The +1 was out sick, so she missed out on lots of tips, hopefully these added techniques will give me the edge I need to keep up with her on the next ride :-)

Random Inspiration
I stumbled across this really cool blog this morning. This is a guy who carries his camera with him everywhere he goes, to capture the world around him as he sees it. I've beeeeen doing this, but have just been too afraid to post. You'd be surprised to know how many pictures I have on my hard-drive, just waiting to be shared with the world.
But with all the blogs I see on a daily basis, I've somewhat forgotten why I started this blogging thing from the beginning. Being influenced is like that though. Your thoughts and ideas kind of take the back seat when you're drawing inspiration from what's current and it's a ton of pressure to have the whole world looking at you try'na be different. Makes one feel quite vulnerable actually. Such that you subconsciously set out to do things to please the masses, or in the context of this particular post, to fit in. When in actual fact...we are different because we have different things to offer. (clink! *sound of penny dropping*)
This guy's blog reminded me why Anele exists, why she's out here doing what she's doing, and why someone will appreciate it. And that's because there only is one me, and even if everyone on this planet can wake up tomorrow and decide to be a photographer, there still won't be anyone who will capture moods and moments quite like I do.
So this reminded me to get back on that purpose....to continue to do what I love...which is to capture people in their everyday lives wearing the most amazing threads put together by themselves.
All I wanna do is share life and fashion from this sphere of the world. I am now sufficiently inspired!
And should you feel a lil' discouraged from time to time, that's okay, but don't wallow in it, 'cause it ain't healthy for ya. Get back up, follow your heart and make your dreams come true!!xo

Today I asked the Prime Minister Question what immediate assurance he could give me that our world-leading and international research will be protected in light of the UK leaving the EU. And how will the UK government commit to replacing any income lost as a result of universities not being able to access EU sources of funding, given that this was promised during the Vote Leave campaign.
Our universities are a global success story, outward looking, open for business with the world, and attracting the brightest and the best students and researchers to produce ground-breaking research in areas from cancer to climate change.
In 2014/15, UK universities received £836m in research grants and contracts from EU sources.

[Introduction] Visna-maedi (V/m) infection causes lesions in lungs, CNS, joints and mammary gland. Two autochthonous strains have been previously isolated from field cases where the neurological and articular presentations were the predomina nt clinical forms. The objective of this work was to study the organic distribution and pathogenesis of the different clinical forms, following intratracheal infection using those strains. [Materials and Methods] 20 lambs, male, Rasa Aragonesa breed, negative by ELISA and PCR for V/m, were split in two groups of eight animals and a control group of four animals. Groups were infected intratracheally twice (0 and 319 dpi), either with the nervous strain (group A) or the articular strain (group B). Control group was mock-infected. Animals were evaluated by ELISA and PCR weekly. Two animals from each group and one control were killed at 134, 273 and 319 dpi. [Results] Serology or PCR demonstrated infection in all infected animals. Serology OD from group B was higher. The specific viral strain was observed in each group. Most animals from group B presented significant lesions in lung and carpal joint, whereas few animals from group A presented lesions that were observed only at the lung. Microscopically all infected animals presented pulmonary lesions compatible with V/m, and all animals from group B presented V/m lesions on the carpal joint. The 496 strain was detected by qPCR on the carpal joint of the majority of animal s from group B. [Conclusions] The articular strain showed the more virulent behaviour and reproduced the arthritic lesions confirming its original tropism. 2017-01-11T14:08:44Z 2017-01-11T14:08:44Z 2015-09 2017-01-11T14:08:44Z Póster 33rd Annual Meeting of The European Society of Veterinary Pathology (2015) 26th Annual Meeting of The European College of Veterinary Pathologists (2015) 39th Annual Meeting of Nordic Society for Veterinary Pathology (2015) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/142405 eng Sí closedAccess

Sunday- Friend Becky's Birthday Dinner- hamloaf, sweet potatoes with pineapple, corn casserole, broccoli and cheese, deviled eggs, cheese chucks, rolls and strawberry cake (different recipe than Easter's)
Sunday night- Christian Couples Connection at our house, Mexican themed menu- chicken enchiladas, corn casserole, spanish coffee cake and whatever everyone else brings!
I hope to do better about posting pictures on here. I am always slightly disappointed when I go to read someone's post and there are no pictures. Again, practice makes perfect, and I will try to do better.
On Thursday I hope to post my first entry into the Tablescape Thursday hosted by Between Naps on the Porch. I am excited about it. It will be of our Mother's Day table. As I was getting everything all set up Larry kept saying, "You love this don'tya?" I had so much fun, but it was kinda scary knowing I was setting it up to take pictures for Tablescape Thursday!
Thanks for stopping by!

Ohhh sweet sweet summertime. I just got back from a wedding this weekend that was absolutely beautiful. It was held on a large farm acreage surrounded by wheat fields and blue skies. We all enjoyed outdoor ladder ball and bocce ball followed by afternoon appies and finished the night off with an amazing dinner, a barn dance and outdoor campfires. It was the perfect summer wedding. Speaking of weddings though, a couple weeks ago I was asked to make some fun and girlie cupcakes for a bridal shower. The brides only request was for the color pink so I decided to make these delicious strawberry daiquiri cupcakes! The fruity strawberry daiquiri cupcake was the perfect compliment for the tart strawberry lime icing. I'm not sure if this is an oxymoron because it was dessert, but it was a very refreshing cupcake for a hot summer afternoon. So if you feel like treating yourself to a creative summer dessert, try this one out!
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry daiquiri mix
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 3/4 cup diced fresh strawberries
- grated lime zest for garnish
1. Mix together all ingredients (except lime zest). Batter will be thick. Scoop into paper liners filling 3/4 full.
2.Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before icing.
3. I made a simple vanilla icing with a little strawberry daiquiri mix, lime zest and pink food coloring. Garnish with lime zest and fresh strawberries.
A balanced diet is having a cupcake in each hand.

The Taipe Cucho family lost their house in the Earthquake. Their son is in the Lima Piura mission. They are rebuilding with the help of the church and Bro. Layton. We visited Pisco, Chincha and Ica and I think we have come up with a way to educate 80 kids over 4 months for $600 each to be bricklayers, electricians and plumbers to help in the reconstruction of the homes. We met with the government today and they will do the classes right at our churches in the evenings so we should be back down here in a couple of weeks to put it together. The bottom picture is the Catholic Church that fell down and killed all the parishioners that were in it. The only one to escape was the priest that told them to pray and then he fled. We are in this car by the park writing up a proposal to be used in these plans.

UK hard rock power trio, SKAM, are thrilled to announce details of their new album – The Amazing Memoirs of Geoffrey Goddard (#TAMOGG).
The album, SKAM's 3rd, is scheduled for release on Friday 17th November 2017 and is available now on pre-order at http://skamuk.com in multiple formats – MP3, CD and Vinyl.
Between The Eyes
The Iron Cross
Take It Or Leave It
Peace Of Mind
Bring The Rain
Fading Before The Sun
Two Worlds
Aching Hearts
New Dawn
Pre-orders can be placed at http://skamuk.com and include a collection of album artwork merchandise, signed calendars, posters, drum skins, phone covers, VIP packages, album launch show tickets, and intimate shows and listening parties in your own home.
The album features 11 original songs written and performed by SKAM. Recorded at AXIS Studios in Doncaster, UK in late 2016 it was produced, mixed and mastered by Matt Ellis. The exceptional album artwork was especially commissioned and produced by Jack Morrey.
The album features a story-arc of Squadron Leader Geoffrey Goddard, a test pilot from 1935, who is a victim of strange forces that jolt him through time. The songs and accompanying album artwork, videos and booklets tell his tale as he battles to return home and at times, for his very sanity.
Singer/Guitarist, Steve Hill, said, "We have been living and breathing this for a couple of years now; writing, crafting, honing what has become our third album. We have gone old school with the whole thing, from recording it 'as a band in a room', through to gatefold vinyl and really going to town on the artwork. So, to say we can't wait for folk to hear it and experience it, is possibly THE understatement of 2017."
Fading Before The Sun is the first single taken from the album and is available via all good digital outlets and streaming sites.
The song is accompanied by a jaw-dropping lyric video produced by Unit 15 Productions.
SKAM recently hit the road for a bunch of summer dates that including WildFire Festival in Scotland & Ramblin Man Fair in Maidstone. They head out across the UK with fellow Britis rockers, Voodoo Six in September before a home town album launch show @ The Musician, Leicester on Friday 17th November.

We had a challenge here to remove some flood damage stains form a Afgan Zigler rug. The home owner had a water leak from the roof and the water ran onto a table where it loosen the dyes in the wood that ran onto the rug. We had to use various tricks and tools to gently remove the stains from the rug, this was to stop any colour moving from the stains to other parts of the rug. Though we are usually lucky to get stains out it is not an exact science and stain removal cannot be guaranteed.

Isn't that funny....the VERY next post I was planning was going to have pics of the sweet little outfits I've gotten for Laura. :)Still think you're a bit ahead of us, but wouldn't it be neat if we got to go around the same time? Who knows? God has strangely woven our lives together over the last year and a half--even down to buying the same furniture on the same day at the same store thousands of miles apart. I sure do hope our entire families may get to meet someday. :)

Crocodile cut open and 'remains of boy, 8, pulled out'
A shocking video allegedly shows the moment a boy's remains were cut from a dead crocodile.
In the smartphone footage, several villagers in the village in Zimbabwe can be seen standing over the reptile.Girl, 6, led away from wedding then raped and murdered
A few of the men from Mushumbi Pools, in northern Zimbabwe's Mashonaland Central Province, then cut the animal open.
Witnesses were shocked when the villagers pulled out what is believed to be the remains of an eight-year-old boy who had recently gone missing.
Local reporter Simbarashe Sithole, who works for Bulawayo24, said: 'The crocodile was shot and was then cut open. The boy's remains were found in the beast's stomach.'
Mr Sithole said a source told him the boy had been buried on Wednesday.
There has been an increase of crocodiles in the area following heavy rain, which raised river and dam levels.
Villagers also allegedly found a fisherman's remains in another crocodile that was shot dead in Mashonaland East.

Four years ago this past January I had a miscarriage.
I cried from deep places I didn't know I had. I have pages of journal entries of processing enormous grief that welled up within me.
The day I found out the baby died, I had to retrieve my kids from a dear friend's home. She and I were new friends at the time, but her heart broke with mine at the news. Little did we both know that by the end of the year, I would be comforting her as well. That night, that first night, I told God that if He was going to make me walk through such horrible pain, I wanted to know who I lost. I wanted a face. I wanted a gender. I wanted a name.
The next morning, before I even woke up I had a vision. A small newborn, swaddled in a pure pink fuzzy blanket with large white robed arms wrapped around her. I could see her little eyes, tiny nose and rounded pink lips as if I was holding her myself. I knew she was in Good hands. I cried some more and woke up to go about my day, tending to my two little boys.
The weeks, months, and years since then I think of her, thank God for her and ask Him to kiss her goodnight for me from time to time. He has done much healing in me and in His amazing grace, He planted sweet Peter in my arms before the one year anniversary of her death. What an amazing gift he is!
But here's the thing... the last few weeks my sons have been talking about her - a lot. My middle son, James who was only 18 months at the time made up a song after asking me why he couldn't see her for the umpteenth time in a few days.
Joy, Joy, please come down. Please come down to me...
Joy, Joy, please come down, please come down to me.
He sings it almost every day at least once. He has taught the other kids to sing it too. Even the kids that came and stayed with us for a few days.
It doesn't creep me out, it doesn't really bother me, but I do wonder what this longing is in him for her. Is it that the other kids he knows have sisters? Is it the place in him, like all of us, that is designed to have a longing for Heaven? Is it a sense of emptiness that she should be at our table? I really don't know.
Tonight, tired from being up late, he broke down crying, "Mom, I want to see Joy." John agreed that he did too. So, I prayed. I asked our God, the author of all life to give them a dream about their sister. That He would show her to them. She is beautiful, happy, loves her life and she is looking forward to us all being together one day - forever.
The only ache in me over this, is my dear friend will give birth to a beautiful baby girl tomorrow. And I long for mine. Maybe God is using this time to allow me to grieve on a level I didn't know I needed to. I am not sure. I will celebrate little Abigail with all my heart, because I will love her too, as if she was mine. And my dear friend will understand.

Read Like Your Hair's on Fire! Summer Reading for EducatorsPosted by Lee Kolbert under Educational Technology Team News, Online Activities, Teacher Resources Online, Web 2.0 Tools | Tags: esquith, khol, reading, shelfari, shoemaker |
Comments Off on Read Like Your Hair's on Fire! Summer Reading for Educators
John Shoemaker set up a Shelfari book club with all the books from one of my previous blogposts.
I know it took a lot of time to set up (so, a BIG thank you to John) but it won't take a lot of time for YOU to join and participate in the discussions. If you're interested, just join Shelfari (free), and join our group. It will be a great activity to do for the summer that can carry well into the school year.
You'll see that Shelfari allows you to add books to your own shelf, and track whether you've read them, are reading them currently or plan to read them. You can rate them, mark them as favorites, comment and recommend for others. You can also add friends and send messages to each other as well as view the most popular books being read and recommendations for you.
I've already started my first book, Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire, by Rafe Esquith fwhich will be followed by The Herb Kohl Reader by Herbert Kohl. For those of you who are interested in joining us on Shelfari, but aren't quite sure what it's all about, here are two recent segments from PalmBreezeCAFE where I show Kim Cavanaugh how to use Shelfari.
Shelfari Part I
Shelfari Part II
The nice thing about the Shelfari group is that there is a discussion set up for each book on the original list, so you can not only jump in on any discussion on any book, but you can throw in your own book and add your own discussions!

Ask a Veterinarian
I wanted to ask a veterinarian about keeping small mammals as pets and specifically I was interested in Hamsters but found a great site with some pertinent information. The group of small mammals comprised of hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice and rats are commonly found at pets stores, and favorites as family pets. While they are all rodents (with the possible exception of the guinea pig, whose classification as a rodent is disputed in the scientific community), they have varied requirements for space and social interaction, and have differing qualities as pets. The following comparison can help you decide which of these rodents might be the right pet for you.
Syrian or golden hamsters live on average about 2-3 years. Adults are about 6 inches in length. They are solitary animals that should be kept one to a cage. A basic minimum cage size is 12 x 18 inches (and 12 inches tall), but since hamsters are quite active, the bigger the better (and those cute modular plastic hamster cages are often too small for hamsters).
Syrian hamsters that are handled from a young age usually have an agreeable temperament, but if not handled much they can be defensive and can deliver a painful bite (they are also nocturnal and can be difficult to wake or act grumpy if woken during the day). Overall hamsters are widely available and make good pets, with the advantage that they can be kept single. Also, several species of dwarf hamster are becoming more widely available. These are smaller than Syrian hamsters and are often more social, at least with others of their species. Some have a reputation as biters, although that depends a bit on the species and how much they are handled. I still have some questions that I want to ask a veterinarian about before I get some of these cute little animals for myself.

So yesterday I was home and decided to make a delicious lunch. I went online and looked for a nice easy recipe for my leg of lamb. I came across Jamie Oliver's recipe (Best Roast Leg of Lamb | Lamb Recipes | Jamie Oliver Recipes) and thought mmmm, I have most of these ingredients (substituting here and there), the method seems quite easy, lets give it a go.
So I did the lamb just like Jamie did except for the rosemary i substituted with about 1 1/2 tsp dried Thyme, I didn't have lemon zest, so i added 1 tsp lemon juice and a good lug of olive oil as Jamie says it.
I boiled my potatoes and added pumpkin rather than the suggested parsnips or carrots. Put that in the bottom tray along with the whole garlic cloves (peeled of course) salt and pepper. Then I added a small green pepper and a small yellow pepper cut into chunks. I placed my lamb on the hot bars of the oven with the dish (with the potatoes etc) under the lamb to catch all those lovely juices.
In to the oven it went at 200 degrees C for an hour and a half (my family doesn't like their meat too pink). After an hour, I took out the lamb, mixed about 3 tbsp honey with 1 tbsp mustard, and brushed it onto the lamb. The lamb went back into the oven for the rest of the time left. Once the timer went off I took it out, covered it with tin foil and let it rest for 15 minutes, while finishing off my fried potatoes, mixed veg, and gravy.
My gravy i made from scratch, yes from scratch. First, I sautéed a small onion in a saucepan. I took half a packet of brown onion soup, and mixed it with a cup of boiling water. I added that to my onion and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, then i added 2 tbsp of honey and 1 tbsp mustard and whisked. I kept whisking while adding a heaped tbsp flour to thicken. I let it simmer for another 10 minutes and then strained into my gravy bowl. Delicious!
You have to give this one a try!

Assuming I can get the images up (initial attempts so far result in an unbootable WinXP image -- I'll post sundry details to an appropriate list later if I can't sort that). -- Dr. Ed Morbius, Chief Scientist / | Robot Wrangler / Staff Psychologist | When you seek unlimited power Krell Power Systems Unlimited | Go to Krell!

Recess time.
Somewhere around the labyrinths of the mind…..
My ears listening to "King of Nations", beautiful album by the way from Midnight Crew. Just finished teasing him for calling me a villager.
I seem to overlook everything he ever calls (and will call) me. That should change, I mused to myself. At least a little. In my world,a lover can have that priviledge. Not a friend.
And that's what we are. Friends.
Yep, we broke up and as much as it pains very much, its has opened my eyes to see a lot of things.
Pain- is indeed a sign of life.
I realized that I "rushed" into this. He was a crushed guy who was still puppy-eyed about his ex when I met him. I should have given him time to heal.
And LORD, I apologize for rushing. I remember praying to be SHOWN my life partner, not to be JOINED to him. We were both unprepared, apparently and emotions misled us. We "rushed" in and now we've "rushed" out, and all I have are memories. And I put my whole heart into this. I expected too much. I made him my world. I made him a focus, when I was supposed to be focused on You. I am truly sorry Lord.
