Training the Teacher
Training the Teacher:
Informational Interview Report
Angel Pumila
Tamas Lorincz is an associate at the International Teacher Development Institute, as well as a freelance training consultant for educators worldwide. In the past, Lorincz has served as an English teacher in the public education system in Budapest and an online course developer in Hungary. His position in the organizational structure of higher education as an instructional designer reported to the school of education and the provost in a horizontal model. Lorincz was chosen for this interview because of his vast experience in many roles within the higher education system. His experience relates to professional goals by providing insight into the skills required for effective teaching practices needed for a faculty position in higher education.
Interview Questions:
1) What is the number one issue that you run across when evaluating teacher performance?
2) What is the strategy that you use to improve these areas of teacher performance?
3) Are there any specific methods that you use when developing course book materials?
4) What measures do you use to track the success of professional development programs?
5) From your experience, what are the cultural differences in teaching and learning styles in Europe versus the Middle East?
Tamas Lorincz has spent decades imparting his knowledge to teachers in an effort to help them better communicate material to students. He has developed not only textbooks and programs for secondary schools and universities in Europe and the Middle East, but he has also developed online resources in language teaching and learning. With a master's degree in TESOL, Lorincz's goal is to improve the learning experience for students and teachers.
Lorincz believes that delivering material does not necessarily mean that students will learn that material. Teachers must give students tasks and activities that help them learn to think critically, ask questions, and debate topics. "Teachers have to learn to be critical thinkers and independent learners before they can teach students in ways that are more meaningful and useful for them. Clinging on to old ideas of what a teacher is or should be is one of the biggest problems. A key step forward is to teach teachers to be able to say, 'I don't know. Let's find it out together!'" (Pumila & Lorincz, 2013).
Another issue that teachers face is how to deliver constructive criticism. While learning how to criticize, teachers must learn also how to accept criticism. Many times, teachers try to be nice and avoid criticism, which can be detrimental to students, Lorincz says.
Demonstration lessons are one way in which Lorincz helps teacher learn to communicate with students so that students will pay attention and actually learn the material being taught. Teachers are invited to observe Lorincz's teaching methods and then discuss their thoughts about their observations. Lorincz also helps with lesson planning and delivery of information in ways that enable students to absorb the information. He believes that teachers can become enriched from observing other teachers, collaborating, and sharing ideas and experiences.
When developing course materials for textbooks, Lorincz considers that the material has to be relevant for the students it targets. "An important step is looking at ways of presenting and setting up the task in a way that it results in meaningful interaction between the students and the point of the activity is fulfilled. It is also essential to present materials as part of a longer process, and that students have ample opportunities to recycle and re-contextualise the information/knowledge acquired. A course book is a useful thing only to the extent it allows teachers to tweak and expand and customise it to meet the specific needs of their students and the curriculum" (Pumila & Lorincz, 2013).
Lorincz believes that teachers should build his/her Professional Learning Network (PLN) as a way to continually further their own education. For any professional development program to be a success trainees should have a choice in deciding the focus of the training. "It is far too frequently the case that a school administrator with little hands-on knowledge decides what the training has to be on. As a result, the training rarely responds to teachers' real needs. This usually leaves the trainees frustrated and the trainer feeling awkward. Trainers can counter this to a certain extent by being flexible and prepared for making on-the-spot changes to the training program after assessing the trainees' real needs" (Pumila & Lorincz, 2013).
Trainers should profile their audience and conduct needs analysis to better assist those who attend workshops and seminars. The first part of any session should be spent determining the basic premises of the training. Once the training session has been completed, Lorincz likes to ask participants to reflect on how and why the activities in the session can be useful to them. His goal is to foster the skills of giving feedback and critical thinking. After the session or program is completed, there must also be follow-up. Trainees should know how to get in touch with the instructor, and instructors must answer all questions that arise even months after the session. Follow-up workshops and/or classroom observations are also recommended.
Lorincz says there are many cultural differences in teaching and learning styles in Europe and the Middle East. Education in Europe focuses on creative thinking, whereas Middle Eastern education systems still teach students mostly what they need to pass exams. "This is partly due to the fact that Middle Eastern education systems are still plagued by too much testing, and teachers tend to focus on providing students with the knowledge they will need for the exam rather than skills they need in order to become effective 21st century thinkers and learners. Exams also put great strain on the teacher-student relationship. It is much less democratic than in a European context where the focus is on developing students' thinking skills and providing them with means of exploring topics and experimenting with the information they have acquired. In the Middle East, a teacher's role is by and large still seen as information disseminator and the students are the information consumers. There is very little reliance on students' own interests and experiences as a source of learning. There also seems to be a growing gap between what students learn at school and their life outside the classroom" (Pumila & Lorincz, 2013). By acknowledging the existence of cultural differences in learning, educators can begin to understand how each student approaches education in order to plan for effective lesson delivery.
Methodologies must be reformed in the Middle East to help student development and give students a better chance, according to Lorincz. In a testing-oriented environment, students experience a fear of failure, which can cause unnecessary stress. "It is time to help teachers and students realise that making mistakes and failing at tasks is an essential part of learning and discovering our abilities and limitations" (Pumila & Lorincz, 2013). There are, however, positive aspects to Middle Eastern education, especially the multilingual-multicultural environment in which speaking English well is a tool of survival. In Europe, that approach has been met with mixed reactions. There is also a growing demand for new technologies in the Middle East, which correlates with new approaches to learning. Students there are eager to use these new learning tools. Fierce competition between schools in the Middle East forces them to keep abreast of the latest trends, methods, and technologies.
"The fact that not everything taught (i.e. delivered by the teacher) will be learned (i.e. acquired in a reusable way by the student) has not been completely accepted, and teachers in the classrooms I have seen still believe that what they have delivered will be learned. Teachers have to start asking questions, looking for answers, and looking at different aspect of the same issue" (Pumila & Lorincz, 2013).
Lorincz provides insight into the requirements and challenges in the teaching profession. He points out that the act of student learning is more complicated than simply providing instructional lectures. It requires material presentations in multiple formats aimed at the differences in student learning styles in order to optimize the learning experience. On-going teacher training and networking is also a requirement in order to enhance lessons with best practices found through the experiences of multiple educators. As a future educator, a passion for continuous learning and improvement are great attributes to the education profession.

Before starting this blog my Minimen showed very little interest in creative activities and when I started doing crafty things with them it could be difficult to gain their interest.
Now, after around six months later they are initiating activities themselves, like this afternoon on our way out of daycare, Rooster picked up a pinecone from the ground and while we were driving home he asked if he could paint it . Of course I was delighted and said yes.
As soon as we were home they bounded out of the car and ran upstairs to find some paints and brushes.
Rooster set everything up himself and both Rooster and Duckman happily painted away for all of about five minutes and together they created a lovely painted pinecone.
Duck man missed the pinecone occasionally, getting a bit more paint on the table
Duckman really hates dirty hands at the moment, this is him showing some concern over the paint on his hands.

So this race report is late. Sorry about that… I haven't been writing anything for mostly good reasons though. The week of the marathon I had an interview in London, found out I got hired in Paris and literally started my job Tuesday after flying back on Monday. I had been tracking the Boston race on our layover in Germany before the first women had finished and was completely stunned when I woke up for my first day of work to find out how it finished. (Another reason I have not been writing may be that I was at a complete loss for words for a day or two).
Another interesting thing that happened involved the weather. It's been freezing in Europe all winter, a long winter that has lasted well into "spring." On race day, however, it decided to jump up from freezing to 20 degrees C (70F). My body was not at all ready for that kind of heat change and I generally don't do well with hot temperatures. (I left Florida for a reason!) I tried to make the best of it and just poured a bunch of water over myself during the race, but it definitely slowed me down.
The race starts over a bridge and my first mistake, even though I was trying my best to go as slow as possible, was going out too fast. My first 4 miles were around 8:30/mi pace, but I felt good. I kept reminding myself it was a 26.2 mile journey though… eventually that soaked in. I crossed the half-way point in two hours and 41 seconds.
The rest of the race mainly consisted of me searching for water sources to pour over myself, explaining to people with awkward hand gestures that I don't speak German and looking for Alexei.
At mile 20 there was music blasting on the otherwise relatively empty race course. Taylor Swift came on and I started singing and dancing out loud… I figured anyone crazy enough to sign up for a marathon would understand. I was surprised how good I was feeling, but that feeling quickly faded about 2 miles later. Those last 4 miles seemed incredibly long and were by far the slowest. When I realized I was not going to break four hours, I sort of gave up a bit and that's the only part of the race that I regret.
My second half was considerably slower, in two hours and ten minutes and I crossed the finish line in 4h11. About 12 minutes slower than I wanted, but I felt sort of ambivalent considering the heat (and that I had to wait a minute at several water stations). I told myself it was the first one in a few years and I could try again in the fall. Then I spent about 30 minutes trying to find my meet-up point with Alexei. Somehow my orientation skills had diminished over the past 4 hours. Then it was time for chocolate cake (probably not vegan, but it tasted like the best thing on earth):
After regaining my ability to go down stairs, I started planning my next running project: 10km of Mont Blanc. It's a part of the Mont Blanc marathon weekend and I could not be more excited. I've already been training on trails and doing some faster workouts, which has been a very welcome change. I'm hoping to switch back to marathon mode shortly after Mont Blanc for a race in the fall (and finally break 4 hours).
Now that I'm two weeks into working, hopefully I will get a routine down that allows me to make more posts. Many vegan things to write about 🙂

Taken and adapted from, "Expository Thoughts on the Gospels"
Written by, J.C. Ryle
"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you didn't dance. We mourned for you, and you didn't lament.' For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children."
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn't repent. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."–Matthew 11:16-24
These sayings of the Lord Jesus were called forth by the state of the Jewish nation…
…when He was upon earth. But they speak loudly to us also, as well as to the Jews. They throw great light on some parts of the natural man's character. They teach us the perilous state of many immortal souls in the present day.
The first part of these verses shows us the unreasonableness of many unconverted men in the things of religion. The Jews, in our Lord's time, found fault with every teacher whom God sent among them. First came John the Baptist preaching repentance–an austere man, a man who withdrew himself from society, and lived an ascetic life. Did this satisfy the Jews? No! They found fault and said, "He has a devil." Then came Jesus the Son of God, preaching the Gospel, living as other men lived, and practicing none of John the Baptist's peculiar austerities. And did this satisfy the Jews? No! They found fault again, and said, "Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!" In short, they were as perverse and hard to please as 'contrary children'.
It is a mournful fact, that there are always thousands of professing Christians just as unreasonable as these Jews. They are equally perverse, and equally hard to please. Whatever we teach and preach, they find fault. Whatever be our manner of life, they are dissatisfied.
Do we tell them of salvation by grace, and justification by faith? At once they cry out against our doctrine as licentious and antinomian. Do we tell them of the holiness which the Gospel requires? At once they exclaim, that we are too strict, and precise, and righteous overmuch. Are we cheerful? They accuse us of levity. Are we grave? They call us gloomy and sour. Do we keep aloof from balls, and races, and plays? They denounce us as puritanical, exclusive and narrow-minded. Do we eat, and drink, and dress like other people, and attend to our worldly callings and go into society? They sneeringly insinuate that they see no difference between us and those who make no religious profession at all, and that we are not better than other men. What is all this but the conduct of the Jews over again? "We played the flute for you, and you didn't dance. We mourned for you, and you didn't lament." He who spoke these words knew the hearts of men.
The plain truth is, that true believers must not expect unconverted men to be satisfied, either with their faith or their practice. If they do, they expect what they will not find. They must make up their minds to hear objections, cavils, and excuses, however holy their own lives may be.
Well says Quesnel, "Whatever measures good men take, they will never escape the censures of the world. The best way is not to be concerned at them." After all, what says the Scripture? "The mind of the flesh is hostile towards God." "The natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit." (Rom. 8:7, 1 Cor. 2:14.) This is the explanation of the whole matter.
The second part of these verses shows us the exceeding wickedness of willful impenitence. Our Lord declares that it shall be "more tolerable for Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom, in the day of judgment," than for those towns where people had heard His sermons, and seen His miracles, but not repented.
There is something very solemn in this saying. Let us look at it well. Let us think for a moment what dark, idolatrous, immoral, profligate places Tyre and Sidon must have been. Let us call to mind the unspeakable wickedness of Sodom. Let us remember that the cities named by our Lord, Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, were probably no worse than other Jewish towns, and at all events, were far better than Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom. And then let us observe, that the people of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, –are to be in the lowest hell, because they heard the Gospel, and yet did not repent–because they had great religious advantages, and did not use them.
Surely these words ought to make the ears of every one tingle, who hears the Gospel regularly, and yet remains unconverted. How great is the guilt of such a man before God! How great the danger in which he daily stands? Moral, and decent, and respectable as his life may be, he is actually more guilty than an idolatrous Tyrian or Sidonian, or a miserable inhabitant of Sodom. They had no spiritual light: he has, and neglects it. They heard no Gospel; he hears, but does not obey it. Their hearts might have been softened, if they had enjoyed his privileges. Tyre and Sidon "would have repented." Sodom "would have remained until this day." His heart under the full blaze of the Gospel remains hard and unmoved. There is but one painful conclusion to be drawn. His guilt will be found greater than theirs at the last day. Most true is the remark of an English bishop, "Among all the aggravations of our sins, there is none more heinous than the frequent hearing of our duty."
Let us settle it in our minds that it will never do to be content with merely hearing and liking the Gospel. We must go further than this. We must actually "repent and be converted." We must actually lay hold on Christ, and become one with Him. Until then we are in dreadful danger. It will prove more tolerable to have lived in Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom, than to have heard the Gospel in England, and at last died unconverted.

SOURCE: Changing alternator on 2001 Daewoo Lanos
Probably not.
You may have to remove brackets or belts but I've yet to see one for which one couldn't find a 'work-around.'
No doubt that the engine/transmission assembly was dropped in as a unit, but their service people still have to deal with removals such as yours so considerations such as removing a specific part is normally part of their design process. Just imagine if this had to be done under warranty and Daewoo would have to pay the bill.

The mounting bracket where that long bolt goes through is slotted. By loosing the the nut on it slightly, then ply the alternator up out of the mount( nut and bolt still attached to the alternator ).

Yes, I experienced the same thing with mine... you have to losen the 2 motor mounts on that side and lift the motor up about 3 ". I worked at a garage so I had access to an engine hoist. Try using a jack from underneath. Nice engineering from Mazda!!!

Tory benefit cuts face new attack in Lords
"Ruth Lister, the Labour peer and professor of social policy at Loughborough University who plans to speak in Tuesday's debate, called this approach bizarre. "There is systematic academic evidence showing a very clear, causal link between income poverty and children's life chances," Lady Lister said.
She criticised the fact that the government would no longer be forced to report regularly to parliament on child poverty levels, just as the next round of spending cuts bites. "Children and families have lost out the most so far and they're going to lose out again, and we're not going to have a statutory way of showing that."
To be honest and I say this without being biased. I prefer to to be educated also take a more statistical and truer picture of a casual link between income poverty and life chances from a professor of social policy. Than from uneducated IDS, George Osborne or the other elitist David Cameron.
I do believe a future will show their true nature and shameful evil policies for what they really are. The same as the current disclosure of Thatchers disgusting treatment of the Hillsborough families.

Our Kind of Love
Lady Antebellum
You wear your smile like a summer sky. Just shining down on me and you. I swear your heart is a free bird on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I love the way that you were up for anything, never worried 'bout what people say. That's right, oh that's right. What we got is… Just like driving on an open highway. Never knowing what we're gonna find. Just like two kids, baby, always trying to live it up. Whoa, yeah, that's our kind of love. Mm that's our kind of love…Skipping rocks and leaving footprints down along the riverbank. Always holding hands, never making plans. Just living in the moment, babe. You get me laughin' with those funny faces. You somehow always know just what to say. That's right, oh that's right.What we got is ..Just like driving on an open highway. Never knowing what we're gonna find. Just like two kids, baby, always trying to live it up. Whoa, yeah, that's our kind of love. That's our kind of love… Oh that's right, baby you and I… Oo, that's our kind of love…Oh, that's our kind of love!
Blog post from last year….
At times I think back to before I met my prince charming and of all of the broken roads that led me straight to him. (to loosely quote Rascal Flatts) I cannot imagine trying to live a day knowing that he wasn't here for me. One look from him can turn my world upside down. One touch can give me a million butterflies in my stomach. One whiff of his cologne can bring back the most magnificent memories. When I'm in his arms the whole world seems like a better place. He is my knight and shining armor, my reason for living, my everything. I know the road we're on is going to get bumpy, curvy, and profoundly strenuous… but I have the utmost confidence that because I am with this phenomenal man, we can get through anything. He makes me want to be a better person. At the end of a long day, he is my pillow to lay my head on. When I am feeling down, he is my shoulder to cry on. If I am having a terrible day, he is my rock to lean on. When I need a laugh, he always finds a way to brighten the day. Without a shadow of a doubt, God made this man for me. We can laugh without a joke, sing without music, and dance without a beat… all we need is each other…because that's our kind of love.1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I love you, babe. Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

I have been studying the book of Revelation for quite some time now. I have answered questions about the chapters. I have looked up some of the reference scriptures in other parts of the bible. I started to do a study book by NavPress in the Life Change Series. Plus, I am now reading a book called The Revelation of Jesus Christ a commentary by John F Walvoord. This book was one of the many references in the bible study by NavPress. I am so happy that I ordered this book. It is helping me so much. God's word is usually straight forward. Even the prophecy is understandable after studying what other parts of the bible say along with a certain passage. I have loved the book of Revelation since the first time I read it, however, I have asked God repeatedly to teach me the meaning of the part about the tribulation period. This book is very helpful. It gives examples of opinions written by other authors and then Walvoord explains why he agrees of disagrees. In the end we can decide certain things for ourselves because we don't know all of the answers until it happens.
If you have been interested in the book of Revelation and would like to read an educational, orderly teaching about it, you can order this book at www.christianbooks.com. As Walvoord said "The present age is an age of grace, an age in which God is testifying concerning Christ and His work, an age in which those who wish to hear may receive Christ and be saved. The invitation given long ago to the seven churches of Asia to hear what the Spirit says is extended to men today." God wants us to know all about Him and His character and attributes. He is at the same time a righteous Judge and Love. We cannot just choose the love side of God and dismiss the judgement. If you are like me, you want to know all about God. He is our creator and gave us the book of the bible so we could know Him better.

As professional financial advisors, we continually strive to see every client realize all of their financial dreams. Whether your goal is to save for a new home or your retirement, protecting loved ones from financial loses or managing your portfolio wisely, we have the experience and resources to meet your needs.
Stephen Musial
I should have known from a very early age that I was destined for a career in finance. How else do you explain why my (6) brothers and sisters always came to me first if they needed to borrow $5. With a reputation like that, you may not be surprised to hear that I lobbied hard each time we played Monopoly for the position of "Banker".
Life as a youngster made sense to me. My parents were firm, yet fair. So with all my DNA pointing to that of a "Rule Follower" I quickly learned many of life's lessons regarding the importance of family and relationships, work ethic, delayed gratification, and benevolence; to name a few. The lessons learned about money and the value of money, as taught by my parents; will remain with me for life. Their ingenious chore lists led to an allowance each week, only if you completed your mandatory tasks. I have told the story countless times of my legendary baking skills, motivated only by the fact that the best paying job in the house was baking (50 ₵). To this day, I still enjoy the challenge of making great pastry.
By my teenage years, I was already researching ways to create wealth for myself. My best move came at the age of 22; I found my wife, Fran. From there, our partnership of a safe and supportive environment allowed us to flourish as a family, complete with (3) children. All along, the early teachings of my parents gave me the courage to start a career in financial planning.
It has been an honour to work for so many great clients over the years. I think it is fair to say my circle of friends is far and wide because of the relationships that evolve in working together with so many great individuals and families. I look forward to providing a similar safe and supportive setting for all new clients that I will have the good fortune of helping in the years to come.
Isaac Musial
I suppose you could say that my passion for helping people succeed began right out of University while working alongside some of Canada's hardest working business owners in the food service industry. As their dedicated Business Development Manager, my clients were so busy working day and night on day to day operations, it left them little time or energy to address the bigger business issues they faced. My mindset was to always be objective and help them build and maintain a strong business plan. And I always knew that providing good value in exchange for their precious time was how I could build loyalty. So when I discovered that I was able to make a positive difference in their lives and in their business, I was immediately hooked on the feeling of being able to help people solve their everyday problems.
Fast forward to today, and I surely look back on my previous experience as the catalyst for a career in financial services. Today, I pride myself in helping dedicated individuals, families and business people as they work to put their financial obstacles in the proverbial rear view mirror. I wake up every morning, excited for the challenges that I know will be put in front of me when I get to my office. As a long-time competitor in organized sports and in life, I love having challenges put in front of me. Tell me that something is impossible and I will rise to the challenge and look to show you reasons why it can be done.
In my personal life, I have always had a keen sense of adventure. And through my life experience, I have had the fortune of meeting some pretty fantastic people. Always keeping an open mind, I continue to learn amazing things from the remarkable people I encounter and do my best to make the greatest impact I can in the lives of the people I serve. I look forward to the relationships I will continue to build as I move forward in life.
For me, I realize that success is not accomplished alone. And I chose early on in life to define my personal success by the positive impact that I make on my family, community, peers and my clients. My business is just the conduit with which I can carry this passion forward in leaving a positive mark on so many people's lives. For this I feel extremely fortunate.
In the years to come, I look forward to facing the obstacles that lie ahead. And I also look forward to growing and succeeding alongside the clients I serve.
What are the challenges that you face in your business or personal life? I want to know how I can help make life easier for you and your family.
Laura Stevens
When my husband was transferred from Toronto to work in the Durham Region, we packed our bags without hesitation. Having grown up in small town Ontario, and after living 15+ years in Canada's largest city, we welcomed the chance to slow down and get a little closer to my roots.
As a teen, I worked in my entrepreneurial family's home office in the Ottawa Valley. After a move to Toronto, I worked with numerous companies including various doctor's offices, a fashion wholesaler and an upscale bakery. I discovered that the most comfortable, trustworthy and successful businesses are those that are rooted with strong family values and that strive for a family oriented atmosphere. So when I was offered the opportunity to join Stephen and Isaac's team at Compass Wealth Partners, there was an immediate sense of belonging.
With my new beginning in financial planning, I look forward to the challenges in learning the processes and systems aligned with the business. In meeting with several clients already, I am grateful to be welcomed into the fold and to see the extra mile that our team will go to support them. I am excited to bring my years of administration experience to assist our clients and take our service to the next level.

Tomb of the dangerous Italian Atalanta (3-2, 1-1) in 16th, the Germans are aiming for the title in this competition, while it is the Red Bull Salzburg who advances in eighth. An Austrian formation displaying a great financial power, formed from scratch by the brand to the bull.

In the midst of an unbeaten run since 10 games, the genius, author of three of the club's last four goals, will lead his team to great success.

Fear, pride, and sleep deprivation…NEVER a good combination. Fear of the unknown is the worse fear I have ever experienced. Yet, that is where we all live. You never know what the next day will bring. You can have your plans, but ordinary life changes all the time. All this to say, a word like "cancer" is big and scary, but the fear of cancer, held more power than the illness itself. At least that has been true on our journey. Once Lydia was diagnosed, we dealt with the situation, not knowing the outcome, but trusting God. The same was true of Lydia's brain surgeries. I was petrified of the possibilities, but once we were given a road-map, I could deal with the surgeries.
Now I sit waiting, wondering what her next problem could be. Will GVHD come out in full force? I have been crying my eyes out all week, waiting in fear. Lydia was sick to her stomach this morning and I kept wondering is this it? I continually give Lydia over to Him, but the fear of the unknown has been eating away at me…until I realized (just this evening) that it was the fear, not even the circumstance that has been my enemy.

October flew by and so did my initial Whole30 challenge.
Things got progressively harder as the weeks (days) went by, and honestly I got lazy (more complacent). Week 1 was a breeze. Week 2 had a few slip ups. Week 3 was tough.
This last week showed me how strong I can be when it comes to food, but also how weak. Pumpkin treats and candy are plentiful everywhere I go, new seasonal drinks (coffee) are readily available, and I am sucker for all things fall.
I avoided buying the Blue Bell Pumpkin Ice Cream, but I had two Pumpkin Spice Lattes in one day.
I avoided the temptations of going to Steak n Shake, but then I visited the local cupcake shop and picked up a few treats for myself and the family.
I avoided Pumpkin Spice waffles and bought fruit instead.
I avoided milkshakes and drank hot tea in it's place.
I am exhausted. Work has been long and tiring. The holidays are in full swing for many of us retail folks. Stressed and tired make for less than Whole food choices.
I still have a long ways to go to get my body (and mind) on the right track of healthiness. I am human and I make less than stellar (whole) choices. The effects of processed foods are more than just visual, friends. Whole30 was about more than weight loss, it was about learning and changing habits.
Sugar, carbs, and grease are not my friends anymore. When I eat too much my body tells me so. I'm learning, even if it is the hard (gross) way.
The biggest lesson I learned from doing the Whole30 is that I CAN eat Whole foods that are delicious, fill me up, and that are easy to prepare. I CAN be successful at a healthy, whole life.

Since our little family has just recently returned from a wonderful camping trip near Tofino (Keaton's an excellent little outdoorsman, even with an ear infection!), and we're still shaking the sand out of our shoes and dealing with the laundry piles, I figure, why not combine my Thursday and Friday blogging rituals in one fell swoop?
Recipe Thursday: Bleu Cheese Sauce
Okay, I'm somewhat sheepish to admit that this is another Laura Calder recipe – am I a little obsessed with her or what? Tee hee. Josh and I were watching her show the other day, French Food at Home (on the Food Network, of course), she whipped up this fabulously simple yet totally tasty Bleu Cheese Sauce. She served it over thinly sliced beef (we did, too), but it would also taste amazing with pasta, as a warm salad dressing, or whatever else your little heart desires – as long as you like stinky bleu cheese, of course!
To make it, all you have to do is whisk together equal parts bleu cheese and heavy cream (whipping cream) in a saucepan over medium heat until well-blended and a little bubbly. Pour over whatever you want it on, and enjoy. So very tasty!
This Moment
Inspired by SouleMama's Friday ritual – a photo, with no words, from the past week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savour and remember.
Have a fab weekend!

I won't profess to be a Taylor Swift fan (although I do admit to once purchasing her 'Speak Now' album on vinyl for HRH) nor do I really know anything about alt-folk icon Ryan Adams aside from just about every girl on the planet seems to find him "dreamy", so it comes to a pretty big surprise to me this morning that I'm listening to Ryan Adams cover of Swift's '1989' album.
Swift's album (released in 2014) represented a sonic departure from the country music of her previous albums, and is described by Swift herself as her "first documented official pop album". One year later (this past September as a matter of fact), passionately chronicled through Twitter and Instagram every step of the way, Adams decided to re-do the whole thing and, once again, all my hippie female friends (and some males ones too) have their phasers set to "all my dreams have come true". I guess I'm just going to have to see for myself on this mornings long 11k haul.
Every recorded song here is the end point of a long road with many possible forks in it—a series of small decisions about chord changes, melody lines, lyrics, and arrangements. Swift's '1989′ songs are written for a specific kind of production – the melodies are clipped, percussive, and designed to hit with force at very specific times. They are written to be electro-pop songs, which rely more on big dynamic changes and repeating cells of melody. Adams, however, has instead transformed those 'poptastic' attitudes into a wistful and generic feeling of weariness; suitable for a beautiful autumn run.
Songs that sound like anthems (like 'Out of the Woods') were meant to be anthems and Adams allows them to remain in that light. 'Style' is kind of garish though, coming off like Bono fronting for Survivor. 'Blank Space', by comparison is turned into a Big Star-like heartfelt ballad and the big radio favorite, 'Shake It Off' is delivered in a grim and determined tone that would be appropriate if he were singing about how conservative politics have decimated rural families at the inaugural Farm Aid, not mean girls in the hallway at school.
Reviews of the album are from one of two camps: it's the campy product of a successful social media advertising campaign, or it's 100% prolific.
What do I think?
I dunno.
I'm kind of on the fence.
While it's not likely to change my opinion of either Taylor Swift or Ryan Adams, I will admit to singing along under belated breathe to 'Style' heading out Michener Rd. and enjoying the slow, tick-tock slow-building fire rhythm of 'Shake It Off' as I turned onto Point Abino heading toward the lake. Other tracks didn't resonate so well but then again, every album has to have it's weak point. What it certainly was was the perfect campaign for an otherwise gorgeous day of autumn running as the colors are in full bloom here in Ridgeway.
The run back into Crystal Beach along Erie Rd. to 'Wildest Dreams' was pretty sweet and, dare I say it, even enjoyable. So while I might not be a total Swift-Adams convert it is certainly an album I'd be happy to have in my record collection at some point.
(Edited: 05/21/18)
In case you were still wondering, I am a complete and total convert and we are now listening to this album uh-gain – on vinyl no less – as the official Part 3 of today's Victoria Day vinyl ceremony (Click HERE for Part 1, and HERE for Part 2).

Aloha Poke celebrates grand opening with ribbon cutting ceremony
By JOSEPH PHILLIPS
Staff Writer
Aloha Poke Co., 5221 S. Harper Court, celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the Hyde Park Chamber of Commerce and Ald. Sophia King (4th) Friday, Oct. 20.
"They have a great reputation, they have a lot of people who enjoy sushi and they seem like they have everything down to a science," King said after the ribbon cutting.
The fast-casual style restaurant chain has a Hawaiian theme and specializes in poke bowls, which is a native Hawaiian dish that traditionally includes chunks of raw, cubed marinated fish (most of the time tuna) tossed over rice and topped with vegetables and umami-based sauces. Aloha Poke's bowls range in sizes including little, big, and kahuna. The restaurant offers restaurant-built bowls or the option to build-your-own-bowl. Protein options include tuna, salmon or tofu.
The restaurant's hours are Monday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
In addition to the Hyde Park location, the group also plans to open restaurants in Lake View near Loyola University and in Evanston near Northwestern University.

How are we already at the end of the first week of November?
I have never experienced a year fly by as fast as 2016 is, and yet I've never felt recent months to be as slow as they could possibly be. I look at the date on the calendar when I need to, but I don't register it's significance in the grand scheme of things. That is due to either of two things: All I want to do is live in the present moment and make it count as much as I can or I'm living day by day, taking each day as it comes, slowly, patiently – hoping the next day comes quickly.
You can probably tell that the latter is when things are not going smoothly.
I was watching the latest episode of The Flash where Caitlyn Snow confronts her mom about not fulfilling her role as a mother post her dad's death, and she responded by saying that that event was so devastating, that the only thing she could turn to was her work. It was what "saved" her. It got her through it.
And I wonder how that works, really. I have not yet experienced something as traumatic as the death of a loved one, but I've had some pretty awful things happen. And that's life, isn't it? You're tested with both ease and hardships, and some of them will be things you couldn't have ever imagined. But I've not ever been able to lose myself in my work – no matter how much I try. Perhaps I don't try hard enough? My reaction is the opposite: I spiral out of focus, unable to give my attention to anything for too long without retreating back into my mind, living vicariously through my thoughts of what was and what could have been. It's like a mental force pulling me in. It's unhealthy. It's also very difficult to control.
I don't know if that – giving all of your attention to something else to avoid misery – is a coping mechanism that really works or not.
The flip side to that is being able to recognise and embrace your feelings in its entirety and attempt to come to terms with your situation. Then it wouldn't be coping, right? It would be surviving.
But its this period of survival that's the hardest. It's a painstakingly slow walk – the kind that makes your ankles ache and toes suffer – because you decided it was just the right kind of event to commemorate your first time walking in 5 inch heels (Graduation killed my feet, you guys).
And so I walk. Blocking off hours in a day. It's not very effective in disrupting the endless cycle of painful memories and anxious thoughts in my head, but at least the next day arrives sooner, with the hope that, maybe, today, it'll be a little easier than yesterday.
Maybe today, I'll be able to let go and immerse myself in work, like Dr. Snow.
Endeavouring-ly yours,

To think that we're just a few months from the third original Star Wars movie in the last three years is still pretty astounding. Between The Force Awakens and Rogue One – which have helped create a new generation of Star Wars geeks while providing quality, nostalgia-inducing stories for fans of the original films – we're deep into a new era of galaxy-hopping adventures, starring Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, and, of course, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher as Luke and Leia Skywalker.
There's a lot that needs to be done in The Last Jedi to set us up for Colin Trevorrow's Episode IX (scheduled to be released in 2019). Is Luke actually the last Jedi? Is Rey his daughter? Will Han Solo's plan to help Kylo retain some of his lightness result in some side-switching later on? Also, who are these cute little creatures jumping around?
Judging by the photos, which you can check out below, we can surmise that Finn does regain his ability to walk, but reports say that the pain of his attack is something that will stick with him throughout the rest of his life, both mentally and physically. The more interesting aspect of Finn's role going forward is how he'll be heralded as a hero of the Resistance in the new film, after being trained for his whole life as a storm trooper. Will this newfound acclaim bring out a darker side to him? Or will he be the agreeable, good-natured kid we met at the beginning of The Force Awakens?
"It got really real for him," Boyega tells EW. "And he just wants to get away and not be involved. His intention in the first place was to go to the Outer Rim. He was always brought back [in The Force Awakens,], but this is his chance to get away and perhaps find Rey and go off together. He's trying to do that at first."
We also see an image of Finn next to a new character named Rose Tico, a mechanic for the Resistance played by Kelly Marie Tran. The character functions as both a further extension of the Resistance, but also as a way to illustrate Finn's newfound fame after the events of The Force Awakens. "When Rose first meets Finn, that's how she views him," Tran says. "He is 'a big deal.'" It's also very possible that Finn and Rose are being set-up as love interests for this or future installments, after the first film wisely steered clear of forcing Finn and Rey into an unnecessary romance.
"Everyone in the space, throughout the galaxy, would have heard about the young Jedi who discovered her powers and defeated Kylo Ren and the young former Stormtrooper who helped save the day," Boyega says. "He's a hero to people like Rose, who fight for the Resistance because their homes have been destroyed by the First Order. He appreciates the adoration for a second, but when he meets her, Finn is trying to escape the whole war. He's trying to leave, and she comes in and basically gives him a depiction of himself that wasn't necessarily true." In regards to how Rose has an impact on his life, the actor said, "It's now an opportunity for him to be the best he can be. He has to make a decision, and Rose is there to help him make that choice."
"Poe Dameron is super cool. Finn's super cool. Even though [Rose] is good at what she does, she's not known," Tran says. "She's not cool. She's this nobody, this background player, which is what makes her interesting. She's not the best. She's not royalty. She's someone who is just like everyone else."
As far as the new creatures in the cast, there's a photo of Chewie next to a hamster-like creature that creators are calling Porgs. Looking like something straight out of Brian K. Vaughan's and Fiona Staples' Saga series for Image Comics, Porgs are yet another adorable but potentially deadly creature in what is easily one of my favorite popular sci-fi trends right now: if something is cute and knows how to kill you a hundred different ways, I will watch it do things! In regards to director Rian Johnson's decision to include the Porgs, he said he was inspired by the film's production off the coast of Ireland, on an island called Skellig Michael, which we're given a glimpse of at the end of The Force Awakens.
"If you go to Skellig at the right time of year, it's just covered in puffins, and they're the most adorable things in the world," Johnson tells EW. "So when I was first scouting there, I saw these guys, and I was like, oh, these are part of the island. And so the Porgs are in that realm."
Additionally, The Last Jedi plans to introduce The Caretakers, who can also be seen below. They seem to have been transplanted from some unfinished Jim Henson project, and "are slightly more anthropomorphic than the Porgs. They're animated with a person inside (Daisy Ridley said a friend played one of them) and they wear clothes and speak in an alien tongue."
"They're kind of these sort of fish-bird type aliens who live on the island," Johnson says. "They've been there for thousands of years, and they essentially keep up the structures on the island. They're all female, and I wanted them to feel like a remote sort of little nunnery. Neal Scanlan's crew designed them, and costume designer Michael Kaplan made these working clothes that also reflected sort of a nun-like, spartan sort of existence.
"You get the sense they did at some point or maybe they occasionally do [return to the sea,] but when we see them, they're land creatures," Johnson says. "They're these big matronly creatures, but they have these little skinny little bird feet. They were really fun to work with on set."
Director Rian Johnson has acknowledged the parallels between this film and The Empire Strikes Back, which puts him in a tough position after many claimed that The Force Awakens was just a carbon copy of A New Hope with some minor tweaks. Johnson admits that this has been weighing on him, but insists it was just the logical place for the story to go, promising a thoroughly original story when it comes down to the details of this latest installment.
"I just tried to kind of ignore that aspect of it and have the story take the shape that it needed to," the filmmaker says. "But look, Rey is off in a remote location with a Jedi master, and the Resistance is in a tough spot, and we're intercutting those stories. By its very nature, there are some structural parallels. But these are new characters, they're dealing with new things, and that ultimately is what defines the movie. So I think that's going to be unique."
Johnson is a director who's made an entire career out of taking seemingly stale ideas and giving audiences something they've never seen before. Whether he's updating 1940s noir for a 21st century high school like in Brick, or a classic time travel story with a modern twist like Looper, or even how he came in at the end of Breaking Bad's legendary run and blew audiences away with the series' best episode ("Ozymandias"), Johnson is, in his own way, a true original, and we can't wait to see what he does with The Last Jedi.

The Cleveland Browns will name Eliot Wolf as the team's assistant general manager, multiple outlets reported on Wednesday. "Alonzo's 25 years of experience in the National Football League as a player, scout and personnel executive give him a unique perspective when it comes to evaluating talent and building a team".
The Browns also announced they have parted ways with Ryan Griggson, who had the title of senior personnel executive in his only season with the Browns after being fired by the Colts as their general manager.
Cleveland.com sports columnist Doug Lesmerises thinks it tells us something we should've already known - that the front office is the best-functioning part of the Browns power structure. Wolf will be assistant general manager with the Browns after 14 seasons with the Packers, and Highsmith has been named vice president of player personnel after 19 years with the Packers. We are going to set out to find talented football players that possess that same passion for the game. The same can also be said for the Browns' 2 current vice presidents of player personnel Andrew Berry and Ken Kovash.
Louisiana teacher handcuffed, taken from school board meeting
While he did not witness everything that led to Hargrave's attest, he "absolutely" stood by the marshal, he said. After the board approved the raise, Hargrave was again recognized by the board and voiced her frustrations.
It's a big loss for Green Bay, and potentially another sign that their grip on the NFC North is slipping.
He will be reunited with longtime Packers executive and former Green Bay linebacker John Dorsey, now the Browns' GM.
Gutekunst offered Wolf a spot in his department to remain with the Packers as his "right-hand man". Since 2012, he had held the title of senior personnel executive after spending 13 years in the team's college scouting department. The Browns finished the regular season without a victory and are now 1-31 in the last two seasons under head coach Hue Jackson. Highsmith has reportedly joined the Browns front office, but it has not been made official by the team.

Remember 'The Secret' that came out in 2006, which took over bookshelves, radio and TV ad space too. All I remember is seeing and hearing about this secret, some sort of secret which could 'change' your life. So, back in 2009 I let my curiosity take over after watching 'Oprah' endorse the film and book.
My naïve self took to the local video store and requested a copy of this 'best-seller'. To my disappointment, the video store didn't have any copies in stock, so I was added to the wait list, along with many others. A week or so later the movie was read for me to pick up. I remember sitting in lectures (I was in my last year of university) throughout the day feeling restless and on edge, hoping the day would draw to an end so I could rush off and pick up the, life changing, DVD.
Rushing home, I was looking forward to popping the DVD into my laptop and have it revolutionise my life – just like that! My expectations were very high, like in the children's movies when someone waves a magic wand and everything you ever dreamed of comes true. So, 60 minutes later, the DVD was almost finished and my life had NOT changed, I had found out what all the fuss was about 'the secret' and zilch, nada, nothing!
All the drama was about 'the law of attraction' which Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret explains, The law of attraction is the name given to the belief that "like attracts like" and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results (see full explanation here). Well, after all the fuss and hype about this book and film, I was disappointed. Yes the film had good testimonies from people who had 'healed' themselves from cancer, back injuries and financial strive, but I was left feeling cheated! Why you may ask?
Jesus, he is THE answer to all of our problems, issues and life. Back in 2009 I was not a Christian and was 'exploring' my options in spirituality. I had grown up at Sunday school while I was at primary school and intermediate and I would go to the odd Sunday church service with my godparents, but that was it. When I watched 'The Secret' I did not feel fulfilled and my high expectations for the film were left down. Why is it then that millions of people had watched the film and read the book and were 'changed' by it? Why was I not impacted in a positive way? Because it did not align with my values and it did not agree with the core of my beliefs.
It was quite 'hairy fairy to me', it's a bit like the saying 'if you keep the frown on your face the wind might change and you will look like that forever' which my mum repetitively used when we were kids. 'The secret' sure didn't provide the answers to all of my life's problems, like the hype had promised. Looking back I am glad the movie did not satisfy my 'hunger' for life's problems because that is not what Jesus has destined for us, to live life in a bubble that only lasts for a few days, weeks, months or years. 'The secret' is based on the law of attraction and loving the universes and it 'loving you back', well this is not what I believe in and this website explains it all well.
I would love to hear your point of view on 'The Secret' – leave a comment below.
Until next time…

Nina Simone – Wild is the Wind (1964)
This song has a remarkable history!
Written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington, the track was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis (of all people!) for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. His is a sugary, anodyne reading that I advise all to steer clear of.
I first became familiar with this song through David Bowie's wonderful version that he recorded for his classic Station to Station LP of 1976. I was also aware of Nina Simone's first version that was recorded for her At Town Hall LP in 1959. However, it is her, later, studio version of 1964 which is the definitive reading.
A vocal of unparalleled depth and power with understated bass and drums and simply mesmerising piano adds up to a perfect record!
Whoever sings this has the advantage of some of the best lyrics of all time:
Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me
All things to me
Don't you know you're life itself
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Oh my darling, cling to me
For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind
The 1964 LP version and then Nina's earlier recording (for comparative purposes!) from 1959.

Three weeks. I can make it through three weeks. It's time to phase out therapy after two years. Every week becomes two weeks, then three weeks. It's almost like the schedule to phase out a medication or something similar so there will be no withdrawal. I can do this, I know I can do this. It is only in theory, in thought where I become uncomfortable inside.
There is a box full of secrets which I am still working through. One day soon will be the last one and then what happens? Do I take the box home, burn it in the backyard, have a ritual to let it all go for good? Do I hoard it? No..that's no good, I don't want anyone else to randomly stumble upon my terrible secrets.
I find I'm becoming disjointed in my approach whereas before I felt I was quite smooth. Well, Perhaps I was only fooling myself on this one. Doesn't the credo say that if we feel we're being so suave we're really lumbering along like an elephant? Yes, this is probably what is happening. I'm flat out ungraceful in how I'm 'dealing' with this phase out.
Now I know I can do this, I know this inside myself. The time has come for me to begin to phase out this 'safe place' of mine and begin to handle things all on my own. Oh yeah, on my own. This is the scary bit. Oh my own, all by myself. Maybe it's the realization that when I did attempt to handle things on my own before I fell and fell headlong into a spiral I nearly didn't escape.
But, I also know I've healed and I've grown into a place of being more than I was before brain injury happened. Sometimes, gifts are given in the oddest of ways and it's tough to see them as a gift. It takes time to be able to gain some perspective and see the seemingly tragic circumstances as a gift.
It is a gift indeed, one I never expected to experience and I sure never expected to get anything good out of. But I have, oh boy have I ever.
I can make it three weeks and beyond. I have grown confident enough to know I can own my hard earned success.
