US State
Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest with terrain spanning the snow-capped Cascade Mountains to forested islands in Puget Sound. Its largest city, Seattle, is known for its thriving tech industry, vibrant music scene and celebrated coffeehouses. Its landmarks include the futuristic Space Needle and century-old Pike Place Market. Nearby, hiking trails wind through the vast rainforest in Olympic National Park.
Capital: Olympia
Minimum wage: 9.47 USD per hour (Jan 1, 2015)
Population: 7.062 million (2014)
State bird: American Goldfinch
Points of interest: Olympic National Park
Washingtonis a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States located north of Oregon, west of Idaho, and south of the Canadian province of British Columbia on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
Named after George Washington, the first President of the United States, the state was made out of the western part of the Washington Territory, which had been ceded to Britain in 1846 by the Oregon Treaty as a settlement of the Oregon Boundary Dispute. It was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. Washington is often referred to as Washington State or the State of Washington to distinguish it from Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.
Washington is the 18th largest and the 13th most populous state. Approximately 60 percent of Washington's residents live in the Seattle metropolitan area, the center of transportation, business, and industry along the Puget Sound region of the Salish Sea, an inlet of the Pacific consisting of numerous islands, deep fjords, and bays carved out by glaciers. The remainder of the state consists of deep temperate rainforests in the west, mountain ranges in the west, central, northeast and far southeast, and a semi-arid basin region in the east, central, and south, given over to intensive agriculture. After California, Washington is the second most populous state on the West Coast and in the Western United States.
Washington is a leading lumber producer. Its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa and white pine, spruce, larch, and cedar. The state is the biggest producer of apples, hops, pears, red raspberries, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries, and ranks high in the production of apricots, asparagus, dry edible peas, grapes, lentils, peppermint oil, and potatoes.
Livestock and livestock products make important contributions to total farm revenue, and the commercial fishing of salmon, halibut, and bottom fish makes a significant contribution to the state's economy.
Manufacturing industries in Washington include aircraft and missiles, shipbuilding and other transportation equipment, lumber, food processing, metals and metal products, chemicals, and machinery. Washington has over 1,000 dams, including the Grand Coulee Dam, built for a variety of purposes including irrigation, power, flood control, and water storage.
Early history
The skeletal remains of Kennewick Man, one of the oldest and most complete human remains ever found in North America, were discovered in Washington. Before the arrival of explorers from Europe, the region had many established tribes of Native Americans, notable for their totem poles and their ornately carved canoes and masks.
Prominent among their industries were salmon fishing and, notably among the Makah, whale hunting. The peoples of the Interior had a very different subsistence-based culture based on hunting, food-gathering and some forms of agriculture, as well as a dependency on salmon from the Columbia and its tributaries. The smallpox epidemic of the 1770s devastated the Native American population.

You had me very worried there Little Boy. Running off like that for 3 hours.
Why? I was out having fun. Hunting is in my blood – that's what I was bred to do.
Yes, that may be but it's dangerous out there for unwary dogs. Snares, snakes and unscrupulous people. Where are your "partners-in-crime"?
I don't know. We sort of got separated.
Well, I haven't seen them around. I hope they are OK. Hopefully all the holes in the fence are fixed, for the time being at least.

Working parents have a lot to consider when it comes to leaving their child in the care of a nanny. Will the baby be safe? Will the nanny respect our child-rearing values? How much is this going to cost us? But most aren't prepared for a, surprisingly, common concern with regard to the nanny -- will their baby prefer the nanny to them?
Parents are usually somewhat prepared for the feelings of anxiety and guilt that can accompany returning to work after having a baby, especially first-time mothers. But most are not expecting to be jealous of the person they've employed as their child's caregiver. Moreover, the working woman is supposed to be enjoying the best of both worlds, right? Maybe, but some women still find themselves battling the green-eyed monster when it comes to their nannies. If you're one of them, take comfort in the fact that you are not alone -- such feelings are increasingly common as women join the workforce in record numbers [source: U.S. Department of Labor].
If you're having trouble coming to terms with your nanny's special relationship with your baby, it may help to consider the process by which children form emotional attachments. Babies enter this world with a strong instinct to bond with others since this is usually critical to their survival. The bonding process begins immediately after birth and babies are soon able to recognize a caregiver's touch, smell, voice, appearance and mannerisms [source: Schore]. For parents, bonding with baby occurs naturally in the earliest days of life as they comfort and care for their infants and this bond continues to strengthen with the passing of time.
So what happens when a nanny enters the mix? Will the baby bond with the nanny, too? And, if so, will that bond grow so that the baby comes to prefer the nanny?
Nanny/Mommy Confusion
The same sort of bonding process does occur when a child is left in the care of a nanny, albeit somewhat more slowly and usually on a more superficial level. Remember that your nanny spends a good portion, if not all, of the day with your child, so it's natural that they form a strong alliance. And although some babies may traditionally have formed such a bond with only one person (often the mother), it's possible for babies to bond with multiple people, including the nanny. In fact, some researchers believe that babies who form strong attachments to more than one person may benefit in terms of social development later in life [source: Van Ijzendoorn].
While a strong bond between a nanny and a baby can be a beautiful thing, problems may arise when a baby begins to show a preference for the nanny over his or her parents. Imagine coming home from a long day away from your child only to find that he or she cries at the sight of you or refuses to let go of the nanny. Or worse, imagine hearing your baby call the nanny "mommy" (or "daddy," as the case may be) right in front of you. These can be sad and frustrating experiences for parents, especially if the nanny seems to be encouraging the behavior. It's natural to feel sad and perhaps a little angry about this, but you should try to avoid acting on these emotions. Instead, there are things you can do to reconnect with your child and create harmony between you and your child's caregiver.
First, keep in mind that having a nanny that is loving and lovable enough to illicit such a response from your child is a wonderful thing. It would certainly be worse to face the opposite situation, in which your child flies into fits of panic at the sight of the nanny. Also, remember that babies can be fickle, stuck like glue to someone one minute only to be completely nonchalant about their absence the next. And consider that while your baby may cry briefly when the nanny leaves, he or she probably also cried for you after your departure. Furthermore, bear in mind that the evening hours can be among the most difficult for infants and small children. This is usually the time of day when they are tired and can become cranky and less tolerant of changes to their routine [source: Hunziker].
Nanny versus Parents: How Everyone Can Win in the Battle for Baby's Heart
If you're having a hard time shaking off feelings of jealousy or resentment over your nanny's special bond with your baby, it may be time to address the problem. Negative feelings can quickly turn into negative behavior toward the nanny, which is akin to punishing an employee for doing an outstanding job. Your baby may also pick up on tension between you and the nanny, which can be stressful and ultimately make the situation worse.
Keep in mind that most nannies are trying very hard to bond with the children in their care. If they fail at this, chances are they won't remain employed for long. And they don't really want to displace the parents. On the contrary, they're probably very interested in pleasing them. For these reasons, it might be a good idea to talk to your nanny about the problem. Start by saying that you're thrilled with the bond she has with your baby and that you're very happy with her work. Then, explain that you feel a little left out when it comes to your child, and would appreciate her help strengthening your baby bond. Perhaps she can teach you your child's favorite lullaby or some of the baby soothing techniques that only good nannies seem to know.
If your child shows a preference for the nanny more than just occasionally, it may be time to reestablish your connection with your little one. Make time to focus on your child, interacting with him or her in a relaxed and comfortable setting. You may need to sing, dance or act goofy as you work your way back into your child's heart, but he or she will eventually fall back under your spell. Infant massage, increased breastfeeding or other forms of skin-to-skin contact can be very powerful bonding techniques [source: Karl].
If your baby continues to show a preference for the nanny, it may be helpful to try a nanny of a different gender. For example, if there is competition between a mom and a female nanny, switching to a male nanny may be the solution to the problem. Male nannies, also called "mannies," tend to be very fun and energetic caregivers. They may also be less likely to displace mom in baby's eyes.
It's important to keep in mind that although feelings of jealousy toward your nanny may crop up from time to time, they are almost always short-lived. Most parents whose babies love their nanny soon realize that a strong nanny/baby bond is essential to the well-being of their child. Remember that parents usually go to great lengths to find a nanny that is warm, loving, patient and fun. What baby wouldn't fall in love with such a person? And when your baby does, you can pat yourself on the back for providing your child with a good caregiver. Keeping this in mind can be enormously comforting during those long hours while you're at work and away from your baby.

Eight of us took a trip to Ireland in late May/early June to golf, see the country, and, of course for me, to informally bird watch. In the meantime, while I was abroad, I heard from three Munds Park residents who sent me their photos of two birds we have here: Western Tanager and Yellow-Headed Blackbird.
The Western Tanager is a brightly colored, red headed/yellow bodied/black-winged bird that appears in late spring. Western Tanagers are stocky song birds that inhabit coniferous environments, foraging though the upper parts of pine and juniper branches in a methodical manner. They don't frequent seed feeders but can be attracted with fresh or dried fruit. I've read that their song is a hoarse, American Robin-type song, but I don't think I've ever recognized it. Note to self: pay more attention to what bird songs you are hearing, especially right before dusk. I need to make myself differentiate between the song of the Western Tanager and the Black-Headed Grosbeak.
The photo I received from a reader of the Yellow-Headed Blackbird was taken at Lake Odell. I saw these Blackbirds this year also at the pond on the Pinewood Country Club golf course between #1 and #10. And, exciting news, the Ospreys are again nesting in the same tree as last year to the south of #13 on the golf course. I haven't been around enough to know how many birds are in the nest. But it sure it fun to make the turn at 12 and look up to see the nest and know the birds still favor Munds Park.
As for Ireland, birding there was easier than in Africa, where we were last year. Ireland has a human population of only four and a half million people, and the bird population parallels that statistic. Ireland has a rather low number of bird species because of its isolation. I bought a field guide, The Birds of Ireland by Jim Wilson, and packed my pair of binoculars along with its shoulder harness, and was able to see 35 new bird species without going off our travel itinerary. Ireland has a Blackbird, which is the size and shape of our American Robin, and it I completely black except for a bright yellow beak. Their Robin is red/orange from the beak to the breast, and when I spotted it, it flitted like a fly-catcher rather than moved like our Robin. On the final afternoon we were in Dublin, I took a walk through a city park and saw three life-birds in the span of an hour: Robin, Tufted Duck, and Grey Wagtail. The Wagtails really do wag their tails, and I found two species, the Grey and the Pied.
Ireland's one-and-only Swallow is very similar to our Barn Swallow, and the House Martin, which our group identified while we were in a golf course clubhouse sipping on pints of Guinness, is a lot like our Violet Green Swallow.
The Blue Tit and Great Tit resemble our Mountain Chickadees. I saw my first Ireland's Hooded Crow in a little village we stopped at for ice cream (Irish people love their ice cream, and large ice cream cone statues in front of stores indicate that you can find some there). Unlike our American Crow, which is all black, the Hooded Crow is part grey and part black, and therefore rather easy to contrast with another bird in Ireland, the Raven.
What was my favorite bird of Ireland? It had to be the Lapwing. The Lapwing resembles a Killdeer, but it has a top-knot similar to our Gamble's Quail, which is found only in our desert, not at higher elevations. The Lapwing is featured in the logo for the Portmarnock Golf Club in Dublin, so I just had to buy myself one of the golf shirts there to wear as a fond memory of our golf and birding.

Seroquel Testimonials
I'm alright at the moment, so Seroquel is working.
Seroquel keeps my mood balanced, no anxiety or acute hypomanic episodes. I've been taking it since 2007.
Seroquel has a calming effect on me, making my anxiety quite manageable. My doctor prescribed it to me 5 months ago. It seems to work better for me than other antipsychotics I've tried. The adverse effects are not at all as overwhelming as I'd feared.
Seroquel has helped me to be able to sleep again. I stay up for two to five days at a time without taking it. It also helps to stablize my day to day mood. Seroquel is a gift from God.
I've been on Seroquel since 1986, just 25mg to get me to sleep, 5 days n nights I go with out, then sleep for 8 hours n repeat the process. Now it's 8 hours every night.

 Sister to its Dubai-based branch, Roberto's recently opened doors in Abu Dhabi– and doesn't disappoint...
 [cover_photo_file_name] => robertos-abu-dhabi-cover.jpg [slider_images] => )
What's the concept?
Sister to its Dubai-based branch, Roberto's recently opened doors in the capital – and doesn't disappoint. Although only open for a few months, the dining experience here is already refined. It's an elegant and classy, white tablecloth type of restaurant – without the stiffness. The ambiance is relaxed yet offers a fantastic buzz fueled by tunes from the DJ, and various open kitchens.
What are the food highlights?
The menu explores options including insalate, zuppe, pizza, antipasti, crudo (from the live Crudo Bar within the restaurant), paste, risotto, pesci, carni and finally, dolci and formaggi (don't miss chef's modern take on tiramisu) – so make sure you go hungry! Dishes of the evening for me included the tuna tartare with sour cream and avocado – all quite subtle flavours, but the dish was brought to life with zesty tastes. It was light, utterly delicious, and didn't leave you feeling full before main arrived. For mains, the wagyu beef tenderloin with truffle, mashed potatoes and asparagus, plus the grilled Canadian lamb tenderloin with polenta, black truffle, porcini mushrooms and asparagus, were both presented beautifully and cooked to perfection.
How was the service?
There's Italian charm here – and it helps that many of the front of house team are native to Italy. They're all on the ball and operate like a well-oiled machine, providing attentive, but not in-your-face service.
What's the atmosphere like?
It's a fantastic spot to spend an evening, from pre- or post-dinner drinks out on the waterside terrace, a beautiful tasting meal (with great portion size – I loved that I didn't feel uncomfortable after dinner), to a visit to the Roberto's Lounge, where you'll find seasoned mixologists and a DJ on the decks – it's an all-rounder for the perfect evening out.
Around AED 350 for 3-courses, not including beverages. Address: Roberto's Abu Dhabi, Rosewood Hotel, The Galleria Mall, Abu Dhabi, UAE. For more information click here

Sorry, we don't have a photo of Sir Robert Taylor.
Sir Robert Taylor (1714–1788) was a notable English architect of the mid-late 18th century.Born at Woodford, Essex, Taylor followed in his father's footsteps and started working as a stonemason and sculptor, spending time as a pupil of Sir Henry Cheere. Despite some important commissions (including a bust of London merchant Christopher Emmott (died 1745) today held in the church of St Bartholomew, Colne, Lancashire), he enjoyed little success and turned instead to architecture and ultimately became a leading architect of his time. Among his earliest projects was Asgill House (known then as Richmond Place), built for a wealthy banker, Sir Charles Asgill, 1st Baronet, in Richmond upon Thames (circa 1760), and nearby Oak House. Through such connections, he came to be appointed as architect to the Bank of England until his death (caused by catching a chill at his friend Asgill's funeral in September 1788, he is buried in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey) when he was succeeded by Sir John Soane. In 1769 he succeeded Sir William Chambers as Architect of the King's Works. His pupils included John Nash, Samuel Pepys Cockerell, George Byfield and William Pilkington.In 1783, he served as a Sheriff of London and was knighted the same year. Sir Robert served as a vice president on the board of the Foundling Hospital, a prominent charity dedicated to the welfare of London's abandoned children. The Taylor Institution, Oxford University's centre for the study of medieval and modern European languages and literatures, takes its name from a bequest from Sir Robert for the purpose of "establishing a foundation for the teaching and improving the European languages". The money was initially invested and interest left to accrue to cover building costs.The Sir Robert Taylor Society is an organisation which seeks to bring together modern language teachers in schools and university lecturers from the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford. A meeting is held once a year, shortly before the start of the Michaelmas Term, at which talks are held on the literature and culture of the language communities represented in the Oxford faculty and where university admissions trends in the various languages are discussed.He had a son, Michael Angelo Taylor (1757–1834), who, as MP for Poole, became a Whig politician during the 1830s. Father and son were both buried in the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square, London.

Divers Can Help Tame Lionfish in the Florida KeysFood — By Julie on May 19, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Capturing lionfish is a way for divers who enjoy the Florida Keys reefs, and to help protect them and in a hands-on way. They also happen to taste great.
Rapidly growing populations in Atlantic waters of the non-native Indo-Pacific red lionfish are out-competing native fish for food and territory due to lack of predators and prolific, year-round reproduction.
It is believed that the popular aquarium fish was first released in Florida waters during the 1980s and is considered an invasive species with no natural reef predators, except man. Lionfish prey on invertebrates and juvenile fish such as grunts and hamlets, but their voracity has burgled both space and food resources from domestic species like grouper and snapper.
Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), whose mission is to conserve marine ecosystems for their recreational, commercial, and intrinsic value, seeks to educate, enlist, and enable divers and other marine enthusiasts to become active stewards and citizen scientists.
Catch and Eat
REEF has published The Lionfish Cookbook, designed to encourage the removal and consumption of the invasive Indo-Pacific red lionfish through 45 delicious recipes to prepare the delicate, mild white meat of the lionfish, considered a delicacy. Its white meat is likened to snapper, grouper, and hogfish.
Authored by personal chef Tricia Ferguson and REEF's Director of Special Projects, Lad Akins, with photos by David M. Stone, the cookbook offers great recipes, background information about the lionfish biology and ecology, and how to effectively collect and handle lionfish. To learn more or to purchase a cookbook, visit www.REEF.org.
Diver Derbies
For the second year, REEF has partnered with the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to create fishing derbies for the dive community to capture and remove non-native lionfish from Keys waters.
Upcoming derby dates are Aug. 20 at Coconuts Restaurant, located at mile marker 100 in Key Largo and Nov. 5 at the Hurricane Hole Marina in Key West.
Derby divers who remove lionfish from sanctuary waters are eligible for cash and prizes — more than $3,000 per derby — in addition to helping preserve Florida Keys habitats and eco-systems.
At the close of each derby, banquets awarding divers for the most, biggest, and smallest lionfish, as well as an open-to-the-public tasting to sample lionfish ceviche and fried fish bites, follows.
Divers can participate in a derby from their own private vessel or join a local dive operator's charter. For complete information and team registration, visit www.reef.org/lionfish/derbies or call 305-852-0030.

Skinny Dip™ Smoked Tuna Dip.
We introduced the "Skinny Dip,"™ a low-fat version of The Original Recipe™, in the mid -1990s. A four-ounce serving contains 1.5 grams of fat and 20 grams of protein. We swore we'd never come out with anything that tasted like a shoebox. Most of the people who have tasted this don't even realize it's low-fat.
"Skinny Dip"™ Low-fat Smoked Tuna Dip is even a featured item in some hospital diet programs, giving us an additional market to serve and reenforcing it's great health-conscious recipe.
Product quality and safety are the company's most important priorities. Our motto is if we couldn't serve it to our children at any step of the way, we're not going to serve it to anyone else. When you read our label, you see food ingredients there; you don't need a chemistry degree to understand it.
Our products have an incredibly long shelf life, and without adding lot of preservatives. We make a gourmet product using the highest-quality ingredients we can find. Gulf Smoked Seafood sources its tuna from outside of its region, including Southeast Asia. The hand crafted dip is produced and packaged in Gulf's Pensacola facility.

Here's a timeless story (at least that's what I feel) about love, a mother's love, and dreams that our babies live to realize long, fruitful lives. This is about the love and respect for human life. It was the very first story I wrote for The Washington Post. I don't know why, I stopped to reread it in the middle of a busy day, last week (it's framed on my wall, you know). But I did, and I found that it is still as timely as ever. It was written in 2000. Comments? http://www.yvonnejmedley.com
For Waldorf Mother, Million Mom March Was Emotional Journey
[FINAL Edition]
The Washington Post – Washington, D.C.
Yvonne J. Medley
May 18, 2000
Start Page:
Text Word Count:
Editor's note: Yvonne J. Medley, a freelance writer from Waldorf, attended the Million Mom March in Washington on Sunday and wrote this account of her experience for The Washington Post.
When some of the women where I worship, at the Resurrection Prayer Worship Center of the United Methodist Church in Brandywine, kicked around the idea of participating in the Million Mom March, I thought to myself, "You've got to be kidding."
With a smile on my face and a slow nod, indicating my approval, I thought, there was no way I would give up what little spare time I have to bake in the glaring sun.
But then the momentum of the march scooped me up. And the reality of my growing fear (really an obsession) demanded my presence. It's the fear of knowing that my four children–Robert, 20; Renesha, 17; Rashad, 9; and Rachel, 2–don't have to be doing something wrong or mingling with the wrong crowd to come face to face with gun violence.
So there I was, on Mother's Day, standing on the Mall, among 700,000-plus strangers, and baking under the glaring sun.
I originally had planned to go by myself because I didn't want the trouble of friendly companions whining to leave early, stay late, stand over here, sit over there, complain about the heat or the public toilet. I just wanted to put my name on history's ledger and let Congress know my intentions.
Then I got the bright idea of asking my 17-year-old daughter to come along. Surprisingly, Renesha quickly agreed to go. And though she'd never admit it, I knew it was her Mother's Day gift to me, especially since she'd exhausted her cash flow on her prom the week before.
We headed off Sunday morning. The Metro cars were almost bare. And it was a lucky thing, too, since my daughter refused to sit with me on the train (something about being seen in public with me hurting her image). We'd barely stepped off the train and attempted to maneuver above ground, when seemingly out of nowhere, we were engulfed in a heavy flow of women and children (and some men) bearing signs, wearing Million Mom March T-shirts, visors and buttons, and bubbling with energy. We promptly rode the wave.
It didn't take long for emotion to flood the back of my eyes at the sight of women carrying posters and photographs and wearing T- shirts graced with the faces of their deceased children. How fair could it be for a woman to wear on her back the portrait of a young man, happy and dressed in his prom tuxedo, and branded with "1980- 1997" printed under his photo? Yet she walked proudly, as if she were pushing the stroller that had once cradled him safely inside.
One woman walked around with a huge yellow sign, decorated with a collage of her son's baby pictures. In the middle was his final photo- -the one of him as a young man lying in a casket. I turned my head, determined not to let my daughter see tears trickle down my cheeks. When I looked, she said she was wiping the wind out of her eyes.
All these mothers and fathers were willing to relive their worst nightmare for anyone who inquired, just because, they said, they didn't want anyone else to go through what they endured.
A woman from Los Angeles told me that a gunman on the loose killed two others before killing her daughter. Another woman from New Orleans spoke of her daughter, a policewoman, killed in the line of duty. The woman's smile was soft and it quivered as she graciously accepted the condolences of passersby–mine, too.
The main program began, and we'd been standing in place for about 20 minutes when Renesha tugged at my shirt and announced that she was ready to leave–she was bored.
"We just got here," I replied and turned my attentions back to the stage. She perked up when performer Tanya Blount sang two songs. Renesha's excitement waned a bit when someone, trying to squeeze by, stepped on her foot.
And when I shouted "Hallelujah" and "Amen" to Blount's rendition of "His Eyes Are on the Sparrow," I made instant friends with a woman from Pennsylvania who was crammed next to me. We had a lot in common (except race, careers and residence–I am African American and she was white; I am a writer and she was a social worker; I live here and she lives there).
This woman and I hadn't experienced the tragedies that other marching mothers had seen, and we didn't want to. Our presence was a purely proactive search for a pound of prevention. Throughout the program, we talked about our children, our lives, the clever sayings bobbing up and down on protest signs, like "Mommy, why can't we go to the Zoo?" and "Moses never owned a gun." And we talked about our vow not to forget the march, come November.
My 17-year-old, by this time, was sitting on the pebbled ground beside me, cushioned by a towel I'd given her. She was plucking the dirt out of her manicured fingernails in subtle protest over not being able to leave yet. I chuckled at her teenage antics and obsessed over her right to grow into adulthood.
Sniffling sounds surrounded me, and mine joined the serenade as mothers, one after another, braved the podium to recount the most horrific moment in their lives. How tragic is it to be in your home one minute waiting for your child to bring in a few groceries, then be hurled into the irreversible future, standing in front of thousands, talking about the night your son or daughter was killed? For me, Sunday confirmed the power of a mother's pain.
A good two hours into the program, Sarah and James Brady moved the crowd as they spoke. My daughter looked up and said, "Who are they?" Astounded, I laughed when I realized she was only a baby during most of the Reagan era. Then I said simply, "I'll tell you later."
About four hours had passed, and I was filled with hope and accomplishment. During the ride home on the Metro, Renesha chose to sit next to me on the same seat. And I was thankful to have her–and her siblings–alive and well. And I thought, "It's my duty to keep them that way."


text: In between my semesters of teaching theory at our local community college, I put significant works towards completing a concertante called Ragtime Dances for Marimba and Orchestra. The piece is inspired by the American dance music of the ragtime era, specifically the works promoted by the Castle dance duo. Since my piece is for a community orchestra, it is strongly tonal, diatonic, and tertian in nature. There are areas of the piece which my theory class would be quite comfortable analyzing, and there are areas that make use of a variety of modes and synthetic scales. One element common to each of the five dances is the octatonic scale:

Hello all!
My last post was about foiling.
I wrote at the end of the post that I would try using
a household iron to foil some embellishments
and report back on how that worked.
Here is that review.
I chose 2 of the pieces from the Heidi Swapp assortment
that I used in my other post.
I used the same foils as I did with my last post
when I used the laminator.
I set the iron on the hottest setting WITHOUT steam.
I applied quite a bit of pressure on the iron, as much
as I could muster for about 15 seconds.
Here is the result with the Heidi Swapp foil.
It worked fair, there were some spots that the foiling
did not stick and you can see that the heat from the iron
kind of 'warped' the rest of the foil.
I used the same process with the Color Foil piece.
The results weren't quite as good.
But the foil didn't become warped at all.
You can see what was left behind rather than sticking to the
black area of the embellishment.
Now I don't know if I had used more pressure or longer
heating time, if it would have done better,
but there are the results.
Here, up closer you can see where the foil didn't stick
and here as well.
My conclusion,
it is possible to use a household iron, but the results isn't
near as good as using the laminator.
Could I have 'fixed' the problem by adding more foil
and ironing again?
Probably, but I didn't try that.
I'll just use my laminator.
Now I'm wondering if the foil would do well in my heat
press, but I won't be heating it up just to give it a try.
Maybe when I've got that baby fired up again, I'll try it.
My guess is that it will work better than the iron,
only because it has good pressure, but would it ruin the
other areas of the foil?
That's the question.
If I give it a try, I'll write about it in a future post.
Thanks for stopping in today,
hope this 'review' helps you in some way.
Let me know if you give foiling a try and how
it works out for you.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

That's me hissing with excitement, because I've found a humdinger of a cover this week. LOOK!
|Cover from YA Highway
Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).I'm drooling.
Wren's favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she's ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too slow, he's always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet there's something about him she can't ignore. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in line—or she'll have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she'll be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders.
The beauty of this cover is its simplicity. There are no elaborate dresses, no lavish background, no half-dead girls, no swirly font. There's a black background, a barcode with key numbers highlighted, a tagline, the title, and the author's name. That's all. Red, black, white, heavy on the black and light on the white. It's dark, edgy, spartan. It's a good fit for the Rebooted Wren.
The best part, in my opinion, is the tagline. It's succinct, unique, and eye-catching. Tell me your attention wasn't caught the first time you read that line. She died and stayed dead for five years and then woke up?! Please continue.
Oh cover, how I love you.
What covers do YOU love this week?

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Almost a reworking of The Bandit of Sherwood Forest, this is another classy programmer centered around Robert of Sherwood, the Son of Robin Hood, and again features velvety-voiced George Macready as a main villain. Filmed in three-strip Technicolor, the transfer looks great, and a fun trailer is included as an extra feature.
Efficiently directed by journeyman Gordon Douglas, Rogues of Sherwood Forest wastes no time getting down to business. The picture opens at a jousting match between Robert of Sherwood (John Derek*, later the terrible film director who was famously married at various times to Ursula Andress, Linda Evans, and Bo Derek) and Sir Baldric (John Dehner), champion to the Count of Flanders (Lowell Gilmore). Wanting to curry the count's favor, power-mad King John (Macready) has Sir Giles (Paul Cavanagh) fix the match, hoping Robert will be killed in the process - simply because he is the son of his old nemesis. However, Robert lives to defeat Sir Baldric anyway, leaving King John annoyed at the unabated popularity of the celebrated son of his one-time adversary.
Produced near the height of hysterical anticommunism, Rogues of Sherwood Forest vaguely and awkwardly slips in an anti-totalitarianism message. A prologue notes that the Bill of Rights, liberty and justice "we enjoy today" have their roots in Magna Carta, and the film contrasts King Richard's "democratic principals" with King John's despotic rule. He strikes a deal with the Count of Flanders to send 10,000 Flemish troops into England - apparently for no reason other than to repress his own subjects - with funds John intends to raise through crippling taxation.
Rogues of Sherwood Forest is more lavish than Prince of Thieves, with more extras, bigger and more elaborate settings (including a nifty dungeon set) and colorful glass shots of various castles and abbeys. There's also more action and the cast, including Diana Lynn as Lady Marianne de Beaudray, is better. (At least some of the action seems to include stock shots from The Bandit of Sherwood Forest, however.)
Derek is okay as the son of Robin Hood, but the real pleasure is watching Alan Hale breathe much relaxed humanity into the story. A natural in roles like this, in his hands the archaic dialogue never comes across as stilted; he's big, warm, and friendly (much like his look-alike son) and, thankfully, he's in almost every scene with Derek. (Touchingly, it's Hale who delivers the last line of dialogue: "Everything has been said, and everything has been done." A fitting epitaph.)
In the second-half of the film, the pair is joined by Billy House as Friar Tuck, Lester Matthews as Alan-A-Dale, and silent clown Billy Bevan as Will Scarlet. Matthews doesn't make much of an impression, but Bevan is fine and House is quite hilarious as Friar Tuck, the best such characterization this side of Eugene Pallette.
Video & Audio
In three-strip Technicolor and in its original 1.37:1 full frame format, Rogues of Sherwood Forest looks quite nice, perhaps not as dazzling as Bandit but pretty close. The audio is English only, with optional SDH subtitles resembling blocky closed-captioning. The only Extra Feature is a trailer, complete with text.
Parting Thoughts
As with The Bandit of Sherwood Forest and The Price of Thieves Rogues of Sherwood Forest is a good programmer that makes a decent family film for a rainy Sunday afternoon, or anytime for classic film fans. Highly Recommended.
* Reader Sergei Hasenecz notes, "As for the poster to this one, John Derek is only a moustache away from being Mary Martin as Peter Pan."

Bizcochitos(Anise Shortbread Cookies)
These spicy, anise-flavored cookies from New Mexico are rich, crisp, and very easy to make. They are the state cookie of New Mexico and one of my holiday favorites. They were first made to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Puebla, Mexico where Santa Ana's army defeated Napoleon's. Due to this, the cookie is traditionally made in the Fleur de Lis shape of the stylized iris on the French flag. Stored in a tightly sealed container, they can be frozen up to six months.
Oven Temperature: 350°F Baking Time: 10 to 12 minutes
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
1 ½ cups lard, chilled
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 eggs
2 teaspoons anise seeds
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
About 3 tablespoons brandy, apple juice, or milk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Notes: Butter or margarine can be substituted for the lard, however the cookies will not be as crisp and moist. Apple juice or milk can be substituted for the brandy, however they are not quite as good.

On the 2nd of September, 2009, a one-day workshop on Solar Energy Action Plan for Ladakh Region was successfully organized jointly by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Ladakh Renewable Energy Development Agency (LREDA) and Ladakh Ecological Development Group (LEDeG). The workshop was organized under an MNRE sponsored project carried out by TERI titled "Preparation of action plan for large-scale implementation of solar energy technologies in Ladakh region".
It was meant to provide a platform for local stakeholders, experts, policy makers, investors/developers, and technology manufacturers/suppliers to come together and have focused discussions on how to provide impetus to the evolution and development of the solar energy technologies and market in Ladakh region.
The workshop was attended by various central and state government dignitaries. Chief among them were Dr Farooq Abdullah, Hon'ble Cabinet Minister, MNRE, GOI, Mr. Omar Abdullah, Hon'ble Chief Minister, J & K, Hon'ble Chief Secretary, J&K. Mr. Chering Dorjay, Hon'ble CEC, LAHDC along with his executive councilors, various district officers and representatives of various NGOs from across India were also part of the workshop.
The pre-lunch session was chaired by Mr. Chering Dorjay, Hon'ble CEC, LAHDC. The key participants were Mr. Phuntsog, Executive Councilor (Agri.), LAHDC, Dr Ashwini Kumar and Dr. A. K. Singhal, MNRE, Dr. M.P Singh, Advisor, MNRE, Jigmet Takpa, LREDA, Mr Pentu Norboo , Ex-MLA. The session was started by an introduction to the workshop by Mr Shirsih Greud , TERI.
The main objective of the workshop was to identify the potential for Renewable Energy Interventions in the Ladakh Region.
Energy use pattern of the area revealed that almost 90% of the energy consumption is for household and domestic sector, mostly for cooking, space heating and home lighting and the same are identified as the high potential areas for renewable energy interventions. Also agriculture sector is seen as becoming a potential area of intervention in the coming years. It is also estimated that almost 18-20 villages in the region will not be connected to the grid with the present electricity distribution plan.
Keeping the climatic conditions and availability of ample amount of solar energy, it was suggested that Solar PV system would be best suited for the region.
Representatives from MNRE also provided information on the schemes provided by the Ministry. The applicable areas under the scheme identified for Ladakh were: Large Scale Installation of Solar Water Heaters for domestic as well as commercial establishments as opposed to use of coal, wood and other fossil fuels, Community Solar cookers and Passive Solar Housing.
The NGOs working in the region also shed light on the feasibility of various renewable energy technologies in the region. For eg. the SK-14 has been a huge success and more such installations can be done across Ladakh.
Insights from the CEC brought to notice the various lacunas in implementation of such technologies starting from scarcity of funds. It was felt that agencies like LEREDA have to be strengthened for promoting renewable energy in the region. It was also suggested that apart from Solar Energy, efforts should be made to tap other sources as well. Wind and geo-thermal were suggested as possible alternatives as even hydro-power has limitations due to the extreme weather conditions. At the same time it was stressed that government aid is essential and other potential areas still have to be discovered. Better subsidies and loans should be made available so as to scale up the utility of such technologies in the region. Application of renewable technologies to agriculture and animal husbandry like green houses and lambing sheds have proved beneficial and should be promoted at large scale.
The presentations from the various manufactures of renewable technologies from across the country brought to light the availability and feasibility of the different technologies available. It brought to light the feasibility in terms of cost-effectiveness of renewable technology for domestic as well as commercial purposes. Hotel owners reported that with the installation of solar water heaters they have been able to save up-to Rs.80, 000 annually which would otherwise be spend on purchase of wood for heating up water. Again the possibility of subsidy from the government was stressed.
In closing session of the workshop, MNRE presented its Action Plan for Ladakh region in presence of Mr Farooq Abdullah, Mr Omar Abdullah, S.S Kapoor, Chief Sec, J & k and other state and district dignitaries. Union Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah stressed the need to reduce dependency on diesel by both army and civilians of the region and stressed the need of energy for the prosperity of the region.

If you're looking for something a little more awesome to store your small files on, thankfully Think Geek is always there to rescue you. Instead of going after some gray USB drive, get something that's modeled after one of the most famous fictional weapons. Sure, it won't be full sized and it won't hurt anyone, much less kill them. It will at the very least make sure to keep your data safe though.
This tiny lightsaber will only hold 1GB of your documents, so you'll have to be selective about what goes on the drive. To use them you just plug them into the USB port like every other drive out there. Once you do plug it in, the lightsaber will begin to glow. This is another gadget that Think Geek has managed to get imported from Japan. You can purchase it for $19.99.

How to Handle a Mess Up?
by smartamarketing
Don't Get Mad. Some Understanding Will Likely Get You a Better Outcome
Mike Dunn
Once upon a time in the 1980s…
A colleague and I travelled to California and the arrangements were made by an 'almost captive' travel agency located just off of the lobby of our corporate headquarters. We picked up our travel packets [2 plane tickets, 2 hotel reservations, and one rent car] from the agency and headed for the airport. On the flight, we looked at our reservations and found that we were booked at separate hotels that were a considerable distance apart. Needless to say, upon arrival there was an extensive phone conversation that involved some raised voices and tears. In the end, we stayed at the same hotel [the non-optimum one that was a fair distance from the vendor.
A few days later on the return flight, I began to think about how I would handle the situation with the travel agent. I decided that she made an honest mistake and I was a bit hard on her. When we returned, I went to the agency and asked to speak to her and then introduced myself [we did not know each other by name]. As soon as she blurted out the first sentence of her apology, I cut her off. I told her that I realized what a difficult job that she had, apologized to her, and then delivered a single rose from behind my back. From that time on, I had a personal travel agent who double checked her work and delivered prompt, 'platinum' service.

Math Friends Ask: What is ISTE?
I went to ISTE last week and I felt like I was cheating on my math friends.
First, ISTE stands for International Society for Technology in Education. They have a big annual conference every summer. This year it was in San Antonio and I was lucky enough to get to present and attend. If you have never heard of ISTE, you aren't alone. Despite the fact that this conference is HUGE, many educators don't even know it exists. (I didn't until a few years ago.) And I saw on Twitter a few math educator friends asking what #ISTE17 stood for because they were seeing it in their newsfeed. And, to make it even harder, I looked at ISTE's website and had to dig a bit to even find it all spelled out!
So, why hadn't I heard of ISTE until recently? I've connected mostly with the math ed crowd on social media and engage with the fine folks in #MTBoS often. I just don't hear much about tech stuff as it relates to math... with the big exception being for Desmos, of course! Everyone loves Desmos, as they should, because it's awesome. Oh, and the math crowd also adores it's online, collaborative resources like Estimation 180, Visual Patterns, Open Middle, Which One Doesn't Belong, etc! But what about the other stuff?
To be fair, I did see a few math-identifying people at ISTE. But I can honestly count them on two hands. I've read Dan Meyer's thoughts on personalized learning (I tend to agree), but what does everyone else think? How about blended learning? What does that even mean to us math teachers? Honestly, the edtech teachers are still debating the definition of these ideas, so it would be awesome if we could get our math perspective in there!
There's other things I hear in the edtech world that I think the math peeps could really use. 4 C's anyone? How about design thinking, STEM/STEAM, maker spaces, or voice & choice?
There are some rich conversations to be had here people. Edtech needs the math teacher voice. And, to be honest math friends, we need a little innovation. Let me share this quote from NCTM's Principles to Action:
I like this quote because it touches on a few things including that tech is now essential to our students. I think the key is being strategic in our integration. Sometimes paper/pencil are best, I love a clothesline number line, and other times I like dry erase boards. But sometimes using a tech tool like ClassKick or Desmos gives me an opportunity to see student thinking and give feedback better/faster than I ever could before! Using Recap to hear my students ideas got straight to the Math Practices and having students construct viable arguments. Have you discovered these free interactive, digital math manipulatives yet? And asking my students to blog and contribute to our class Twitter account transformed aspects of my class and gave students an authentic audience for their ideas.
I'll tell you one thing I don't need from edtech, and that is one more app that promises to "make math fun." As soon as those words uttered from a company rep in the Expo hall, I'm trying hard to contain my eye roll and high tail it out of there. Please. Mathematics is fun, beautiful, and engaging. It's how we've institutionalized it in our schools to take the joy out of it that has made it boring, dull, complicated, and unappealing. I don't need to race against a clock to shoot the aliens with my multiplication fact laser beams to "make math fun," thank you very much.
I also don't need any more digital "practice" that are really just online worksheets. Boring math is boring even on a device. And don't try to dazzle me with a slick teacher dashboard and colorful graphs. Us math teachers aren't so easily won.
Find ways to help me see student thinking, make students ask questions, get students collaborating, help students use math to be creative... that is what I want from my classroom tech.
More schools are integrating technology and math teachers are wondering how to best use it with their students. Let's not resist innovation, but embrace it as an opportunity to build on the great things going on in our classrooms.
I've met some of the most passionate educators in the math and the edtech worlds. I'm honestly surprised when they haven't heard of each other. Bringing the worlds of math educators and edtech peeps together could benefit both groups... and help me not feel like I'm cheating on one with the other. ;)
(By the way, local friends, ISTE comes to Chicago next summer! See you there?)

Punching Swans Album Release Gig With Skingasm Records
August 13, 2014
After the success of Homespun, we're returning with some more noise from Medway's own Punching Swans, who are releasing an album on Skingasm Records. The album launch gig will take place on Friday, August 22nd at the Billabong, Rochester.
Punching Swans have enjoyed recent airplay on BBC radio One, 6 Music (from Tom Ravenscroft, son of Peel!), XFM and BBC Kent Introducing, and been featured on Clash Music and Echoes and Dust. The album's available to stream here: http://notedmusic.co.uk/features/premiere-punching-swans-new-album-mollusc.html
You'll be able to buy hard copies of the CD and beautiful limited edition tshirts at the gig. Entry's a fiver.
Support comes from the unbelievable Shitwife, a breakbeat electro trash project from Wayne Adams of Ladyscraper and Henri Grimes of Shield Your Eyes. If you're into experimental noise and AMAZING live drumming, you will love these guys. Think Squarepusher and Aphex Twin with a more approachable sense of humour.
Chris Dow of Wedding and Kind Eyes will be back with one of his side projects which promises to be impressive no matter what he's doing. Plus, he looks like Thor….. always a bonus.
As usual, all welcome as long as you're 18 and over and capable of respecting other people 🙂
