Gorgeous Hand Puppets in Hughes and Hughes
February 4, 2011
Today i came across these lovely Melissa and Doug hand puppets in Hughes and Hughes in the Omni SC in Santry, Dublin. I've had a look at the prices online and the price that Hughes and Hughes are selling them at is very good value and you're supporting IrishjJobs by buying in a store rather than online.
Some are €19.99 while some complex ones are €22.99. They're beautifully made and would make a lovely present for any little boy or girl.

The neoliberal penality thesis links recent penal shifts toward punitiveness and managerialism to market liberalisation that has swept western societies since the 1980s. While this paradigm has been largely examined in the western context, less is known about how it may be applicable to the eastern context. This speech aims to explore the possible conceptual limitation of the neoliberal penality thesis for understanding modern penal practices in contemporary China ('reform China'), where economic reform has also significantly altered the state's social landscape over the last several decades. Through an examination of the penal evolution in reform China, it is argued that punishment in China over the last thirty years has not increased in its severity, as has occurred in many western states. Rather, the growing need to maintain a harmonious society has enabled China's penal practices to be more lenient and managerial in orientation, analogous to the development of actuarial justice in western states.
About the Speaker
Li Enshen is a lecturer at the TC Beirne School of Law, The University of Queensland. Dr Li's research focuses on comparative criminal justice, theoretical criminology, socio-legal studies of punishment and society. He specializes in the Chinese criminal justice and penal system and their implications for culture and society. Dr Li has published about twenty articles in leading law and criminology journals, including Columbia Journal of Asian Law, Criminology & Criminal Justice and British Journal of Criminology. He has also taught criminal law and criminology courses at La Trobe University and the University of Queensland since 2009.

If you haven't seen the phrase, "Not my circus, not my monkeys" on Facebook or other social media—it's an old Polish proverb—then you may not realize the words are just another way of saying, "Hey, it's not my problem." Or "leave me out of it". One way to deal with difficulties to be sure. Ignore them, avoid them, wish them away, but never confront them. Of course it also means "I don't care. Don't bother me. I have my own baggage."
What with all the social commentary so available to us in so many ways, news programs online and on air, sound-bytes exhorting us to do this or give to that, and to get involved in good causes, it's understandable that some people simply want to tune out. Compassion overload. But the problem is that we do need to be involved in something, even if it is simply ourselves. Compassion and empathy are, I believe, parts of the human condition. We go through life….most of us anyway….trying to make things better; for us, for our children, for the country, and yes for the world as well. We learn this at an early age from our parents, on the playground, whenever we see a person help another person. Helping is a good thing. Right?
As we get older and more self-focused we can lose sight of the bigger picture. We tend to classify people as those who "should be helped" and those who "brought this on themselves". In the real world that doesn't always apply; something we discover as we age a bit more and have had to dodge life's curves and calamities. When we ask for help and someone says "Not my circus" it stings. If we have helped that someone in the past, it stabs us in the back. And it makes us wonder if helping anyone other than "us" is even worth the effort. Not that we expect things in return for our helping hand. Do we? Because wanting credit for doing good things can also be part of being human. Our sense of self-worth thrives on thank you's and applause. Even just dropping some coins in the red kettle at Christmas gives us a bit of a glow.
So, if helping is a good thing and ignoring the problem is a bad thing, why are there so many problems running rampant without being solved? Solutions take time. Most of us will tell ourselves there isn't enough time in the day as it is. The thing is, there is enough. Maybe we don't have time to go to a foreign country and dig wells or go to disaster-stricken areas after every earthquake, tsunami or hurricane, but we can do our part. Donate supplies when we can, offer to spend one evening on a telephone tree, help build or rebuild a house for Habitat. Mentor a child one day a week and possibly change his or her life. There are many opportunities in this world which cost only time and caring. We can all be a part of those opportunities if we look for them. Because, in spite of everything, the world is our circus. It's up to us to make it the "Greatest Show on Earth."
By the way, our friend Mae knows this well. Better than most. She gave up her way of life to make sure that her brother didn't endanger his. With one exception. Mae also gets involved with other circus trains along the way….
I hadn't counted on being late back to my new place. Trouble is I didn't take into consideration what happens in New Orleans after dark most nights. Music and more music, crowds in the streets dancing, and me finding myself caught up in a Second Line going in the same direction I was. Now I was never much of a dancer, though I can do a decent Reel if the music and the whisky are right, but there's something about the tunes of this city and her people that makes you want to move with the rhythm and strut to the beat. So I did, all the way down Frenchman to where the Old US Mint stands. Then I headed over to the building Drum and I were to call home for a while. There in front of the entry paced Sylvain, his eyes scanning the area, his face a study in worry.
"Dear God, Mae! I was about ready to call 911. Where have you been?"
"Och, man, I've been comin' home from work, that's where I've been." Telling him I'd been dancing in the streets did not seem prudent. "If ye wanted me here soonest, you should've sent me a cab." I moved past him but not before he'd taken my arm.
"Do you know how dangerous this city can be after dark? You could have been attacked or worse."
"Aye, right," I scoffed. "I look like a rich tourist with no brains. I thought you said Morales told you about me. I can handle myself. But my feet can't handle me bein' in these shoes much longer. And I want to see Drum's settled in before we talk." I didn't wait for a reply, just took myself and walked into the building. A moment later I heard the thunk of his boots as he followed me up the stairs. "Ye didn't lock the door?" I stared at the opening to my crib. "Did I not warn you about…?" I slapped his arm just as Drum's voice called from the main office area.
"That you, Mae? I've been waiting to see you before I take my rest."
"In a moment, dearie." I looked at Sylvain. "Find me kettle and make us some tea, while I tend to me brother. We can talk at the table. You'll find some biscuits in the red tin."
Not long after, I'd gotten Drum tucked in for the night in what now was a combination sitting and sleeping area. Sylvain and Drum had between them managed to acquire two day beds as well as light blankets and pillows and a small table for books and papers. Better than the crates I'd had in Charles City, that was sure, but I missed those crates just the same. I made my own bed ready, since I planned to send Sylvain packing in not more than thirty or so minutes by the old pocket watch on the table in the makeshift kitchen. And I found me slippers, took off my working clothes and decided I needed the other set for tomorrow's duties, and threw on my comfy chenille robe. Then I padded back to Sylvain.
"Did ye steep the tea right?"
"Don't sound so skeptical, Mae". Sylvain's Cheshire Cat grin should have warned me.
"I'm right particular about my brew," I said. "It takes a tender touch to get it done to my liking." I reached for the cup he held out to me, prepared to have the liquid pucker my mouth with the bitterness that comes from over-steeping or too hot water. I took a cautious sip. "Holy heaven!" The warm beverage slid smoothly down my throat like honey from a hive.
"My grand-mere was quite the stickler when it came to tea, Mae. Loose-leaf, never bagged, and always always at the proper temperature. I learned early how to please that palate of hers. So, see? I do have a use or two other than moving man, Drum-watcher, and friend to Alex." He laughed and then took a long drink from his own cup. "So? How was your first day? Can I hope for an answer to Celine's location?"
I won't make you sit through a re-telling of my day, but I didn't leave anything out, including Benard and that room by the stairs. I had a few choice words about Marie-Therese as well, but that was more to get her out of my craw than anything else. Sylvain sat silent, reacting only when I mentioned my first encounter with Benard outside that 'storage' room.
"So you think my sister might be kept in there, Mae? Why else would it be considered off limits?"
"It seemed too quiet," I said. "No movement, no nothing. And it was the same in the evening as earlier. I'd expect a noise or something, especially when I first rattled the doorknob. Besides, I have my own ideas."
"Such as?"
" Patience, man. Remember I was supposed to be live-in help? With a room on the third floor and all?" Sylvain nodded. "Well, once I told them I needed to tend Drummond so didn't care to stay on the premises, the third floor just happened to need repairs and such and I shouldn't concern myself about anything up there. So this is what I think. Maybe Celine was kept in that little room by the stairs and maybe not, but now I'd wager a pretty pence or two that she's somewhere on that forbidden floor. If she's in the house. And that's not all."
"That's enough for me, Mae."
"I don't like the place, Sylvain. Too perfect. Except for Benard. He's like a square peg in that round hole. That off limits room is hiding something. I want to know what it is."
"Find Celine, Mae. That's all I want you to do. Alex warned me about you. A meddler, he said. With a nose for trouble."
"I told you I can take care of myself. And Drum. Been doin' it for a fair while…since before I met Morales. And I'll be doin' it after we move on from here too. Don't you want to know what your sister's messed up in?" I stared at him, wondering if he'd admit to the fact.
"Once she's out of there, Mae, I don't care what goes on." So he said. I could read it in his eyes that he wanted nothing more than to stomp on the people who'd wronged his kin.
"Wrong answer," I said. "You can't have it both ways. We can rescue Celine…if she wants to be rescued…" His head came up at that and he glared at me, "Or we can rescue her and make sure she never has to deal with the likes of these people again. That means meddling, Sylvain."
I poured myself another cup of tea, lukewarm now but still flavorful, and waited in silence while my companion wrestled with his conscience and his emotions. The sounds of the River came in through the partially open window, and there were noises as the building settled down for the night; the creaks and groans of wood and metal and…Sylvain was on his feet before I could put my cup on the table, moving quietly toward the door we'd locked behind us. He held up a hand to stop me from joining him, so I simply stood by the table, ready to do whatever was needed. We both watched as the knob on that door turned slowly from one side to another. Someone wanted in.
Sylvain looked back at me and then moved his hand to unlatch the safety chain and turn the key to release the lock. He placed one hand on the knob, jerked it firmly and pulled the door back. I might have done the same meself I have to say, but watching someone else do the deed sent a shiver up me spine. Because there framed by the door jamb stood Benard.
"What the…Sylvain?" Benard's words were as much of a shock to me as Sylvain's presence was to him.
"Etienne?" Okay, so now I was doubly shocked. These two knew each other? Sylvain's next words did nothing to make me any easier. "Where did you come from? Last I heard you were up in Shreveport. And you had hair!" Time for someone with sense to jump in, so I did.
"I take it you two are acquainted." Not the best opening, I admit but it was late, I was tired, and Benard had tried to throw me down some stairs not twelve hours earlier. "Care to fill me in? Before I find something to use as a weapon?"
"You'd better come in, Tenny," Sylvain said. "She means it." He stepped back to let the intruder in and motioned the chair he'd just vacated. "Take a seat. I'll make more tea."
"Forgive me Mae. My manners have totally deserted me in the face of this unexpected meeting," Sylvain replied as he took the teapot and went over to the small double hotplate he'd brought over to replace my elderly one.
"Unexpected?" I couldn't get more than one word out of my mouth. And that a question. I turned my attention, and a hearty glare, towards our guest. "Etienne?"
"Yes, ma'am. Although I realize you know me as someone else. And for that, and my lack of manners earlier I do apologize."
I sat back in my chair, feeling as though Lewis Carroll had dumped me through the Looking Glass along with Alice and I was now a guest at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Any second now, I thought, and someone would yell "Off with her head".

Passive income is the dream for most people. Find out how to generate passive income from the internet with these 10 passive income ideas that you can get started with today.
It's the dream isn't it? Lazing on the beach, sipping on a cocktail (or a bottle of ice cold water, in my case – yeah, yeah, I'm boring,) counting your benjamins.
Wikipedia defines passive income as "income received on a regular basis, with little effort to maintain it". Before I get into ways to create a passive income, I want to focus on a specific part of that definition. "…little effort to MAINTAIN it". The key word here is "maintain" – while passive income does not require much effort to maintain, it almost always requires a substantial initial investment of either time, money (or both).
But in the long run, that initial time investment is absolutely worth it, especially when you're sitting back watching your bank balance grow.
Here's how you can generate passive income from the internet (my favorite way.)
How To Generate Passive Income From The Internet
1. Self publish an eBook
eBooks are incredibly popular these days, with the vast majority of eBooks being self-published. And while there is certainly an initial time investment involved with writing an eBook, there is the potential to generate a nice passive income through eBook sales.
I can attest to this, having written my own eBook (which you can check out here.) The process of writing my eBook was surprisingly simple. I wrote the eBook in Microsoft Word, exported it to PDF format, created a cover using Canva, and then uploaded it to SendOwl and linked my PayPal account.
Canva is a great tool to use for creating your eBook cover and graphics to promote your eBook but if you'd rather hire it out, you can find graphic designers on Fiverr or Upwork.
2. Purchase a rental property
Purchasing a rental property obviously requires some initial capital but in the long run, it could be a great opportunity to build a passive income. If you can find the right property in the right market, then you can potentially rent it out for more than your mortgage payment. Investing in a good property manager can help to ensure the property is well looked after and rent is collected on time.
A good alternative to buying your own rental property is to invest with a company like RealtyShares. RealtyShares is a crowdfunding platform that allows you invest in real estate for as little is $5000.
3. Start a Blog
Blogging is one of my favorite ways to generate a passive income. The beauty of a blog is that it's always "on," regardless of whether you are or not. Just recently, my family and I went on a week-long vacation to NYC, and I didn't work a single minute on my blog. However, thanks to the hard work I'd put in prior to our vacation (and investing in some excellent scheduling tools like Tailwind) I was able to keep things running smoothly and continue to make money.
If you're interested in starting a blog, I've written a step-by-step tutorial here (and you can also get a free copy of my blogging resource guide where I list everything I have done to create a full time income in less than a year.)
4. Multi Level Marketing/Network Marketing
MLM certainly isn't for everyone but there are lots of people who generate an amazing income through network marketing. I personally know of a couple who makes six figures a month through their networking marketing business, so the potential is there.
It appears that one of the main keys to success is choosing a network marketing company that sells a product you're genuinely passionate about. If you love the product, it's probably something you're already sharing with your friends anyway, so why not make some money doing so?
But, like any opportunity, network marketing isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, and there is almost always an initial cash investment required. However, most companies will provide you with a start-up kit as part of your initial investment.
The jewelry company Stella & Dot is an example of this – their start-up cost is $199 but you get to choose $350 worth of jewelry. (I'm not a Stella & Dot consultant, but I think that's a pretty good deal if you truly like the jewelry!) You can read more about Stella & Dot here.
5. Robo-investing
Investopedia describes a robo-advisor as "an online wealth management service that provides automated, algorithm-based portfolio management advice without the use of human financial planners."
If that sounds like gobbledygook, basically robo-investing means that you're using an online service to invest your money for you, with very minimal requirements on your part.
Robo-investing is a great option for someone who doesn't have the time or inclination to learn the ins and outs of investing (or the time to manage a portfolio) but wants to invest in stocks and bonds.
I've been using a robo-advisor called Betterment for a couple of years now and I've had a great experience with them. The initial set-up was very straightforward and I've basically done nothing since then – I let them handle everything.
You can find out more about Betterment here.
6. Sell stock photos
If you're good at photography, you can generate a passive income by selling your stock photography online. There are countless website owners looking for great stock photos to use on their site (I subscribe to two stock photo services for this blog.)
Once you've taken and edited your photos, you simply upload them to a stock photography site like Shutterstock or iStockPhoto. From there on out, every time someone purchases your photo, you'll earn money.
7. Create an online course
If you're an expert on a certain topic then creating an online course and sharing your knowledge with the world can be a great way to generate a passive income.
And don't think that you're limited to teaching things like accounting, freelance writing, knitting, etc. A quick search on Udemy and you'll see that people are creating and selling online courses on every topic under the sun.
Just think, if it's a topic or skill that you've mastered, it's highly unlikely that you're the only person in the world interested in it.
You can check out Udemy here for more inspiration (and you can also use them to host and sell your own online course.)
8. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing basically means that you're partnering with a company to promote their product for a small commission, and it's one of the most popular ways that bloggers and website owners make money.
Affiliate marketing is a long term game but once you've gotten the ball rolling, it's basically the definition of passive income.
However, it's not as easy as slapping up a few links on your blog and calling it a day – there's an art to affiliate marketing.
Hands down, the best course I've ever taken on affiliate marketing is "Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing" by Michelle Schroeder-Gardner.
Michelle is the founder of Making Sense of Cents and she makes six figures a month through affiliate marketing so it's clear she knows what she's talking about.
Here's the link to Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing.
9. Create YouTube videos
YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the internet with billions of page views every day and you can tap into this by starting your own YouTube channel.
Start by creating videos that are funny, entertaining and/or informational and promoting the heck out of them. Once you've grown a following and garnered a good amount of views, you can start monetizing your videos with ads.
10. Sell digital products on Etsy
Etsy is the premier online marketplace for handmade products but there is also the ability to upload your digital designs and sell them through the platform.
Selling digital downloads is an excellent way to create passive income because it's essentially set and forget – just upload your design to Etsy, set your price and the delivery is handled by Etsy (you'll be responsible for driving traffic to your Etsy shop though, so consider starting Instagram and Facebook pages to promote your products.)
Do you have any other ways you generate a passive income from the internet? Let me know in the comments!

Homeowners of Geist, did you get a shock in the mail? Most of the property owners got a 30% property tax increase, so say thank you to the Town of Fishers. You have been annexed. Notice all the extra services that you have gotten since you were annexed. Maybe we should have a treasure egg hunt to find them; opps Scott Grinch stole all the eggs. Nothing has changed, all the promises of doing this and that were just that promises and nothing has happened.
Instead any time we say anything, the Town Council's newspaper bloggers just call us a bunch of angry Geisters. Well Geisters, it is time to take action and you will have your chance on May 3rd.
If you are a registered Republican here is your chance to vote out the entire Council. Almost no one knows this but the way they set up elections was to insure they would get elected by having total at large elections. So while a candidate must live in a set district, every voter in the town votes for all candidates. So you can vote against every single one of the incumbents. It is time to take back this town and vote in a responsible government that listens to the people. It is time to vote in a responsible government that cares about the citizens and not about what the developers want. It is time for all the voters of Fishers to take back this town. Vote against the incumbents.

My law school exams are coming soon. I have just 1.5 weeks until my first one. I have been very stressed recently and wake up with droppy eyelids (a sign of stress in my body). Anyway, too much information, but I guess I am just saying I wont be in the loop - emailing or posting or hanging out - for the next 3 weeks when this is all over. The grade from each 3 to 4 hour exam determines my grade for the semester.
Ok, I am off to work!

Perhaps the most attractive side of this trend is the knowledge that one has participated in a good cause yet with minimal effort. But can you end world poverty and conflicts by sharing a post on Facebook? Can a hashtag trigger a pivotal change that stops a brutal dictator oppressing citizens? – Hsin-Yi Lo
Hashtag activism, slacktivism, online activism: no matter how you slice it; it's all the same thing.
Philip Howard, the Principal Investigator for Digital Activism Research Project, defined hashtag activism as "…what happens when someone tries to raise public awareness of a political issue using some clever or biting keyword on social media." However, from the New Yorker journalist Malcolm Gladwell's perspective, online activism is "the way of the new style activist who just signs online petitions and shares on Facebook, instead of the banner waving, old fashioned street style, brawling with coppers activist days".
Hey, it's OK. We've all done it. We click, like or share a social media item and BAM… we've made a difference. But have we? Is this "click and change the world" model enough?
While I'm totally aware of the more negative, slacktivist side of this phenomenon, I truly believe that there is merit to be had in the the notion that raising awareness on an issue is a form of protest in itself. However, there are times when raising awareness is simply not enough, and that's where the downside of online activism comes in to play.
The real question is: is this new style of "activism" a legitimate form of protest or simply a way for us to feel good about ourselves, to feel like we're actually making a difference, by clicking the "share" or "retweet" buttons. Essentially, is hashtag activism #powerful or #pointless?

I am so glad I don't live thereApril 25, 2008 at 7:37 pm | Posted in Bizarre News | 3 Comments
Stories like this are why it is a good thing I don't live in Alabama. Individual craziness I can deal with, but societal/widespread craziness I have a harder time with. Here is a little excerpt from this "special" story:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Struggling to confront a worsening homicide rate, the mayor of Birmingham asked pastors and citizens Friday to don burlap sacks and ashes Friday in an Old Testament-style sign of biblical repentance.
Mayor Larry Langford said his "sackcloth and ashes" rally at Boutwell Auditorium was inspired by the Book of Jonah, where residents of the ancient city of Ninevah wore rough fabric and ashes as a sign of turning away from sin.
A pastor who helped organize the rally said Langford purchased 2,000 burlap bags that will be handed out at the event.
This isn't the first time a Birmingham mayor has called on the city to use prayer to solve problems of violence either. I have to admit though, this is one of those situations where I am both disturbed and amused at the same time (plus relieved to be far, far away). I just might have to search for photos from the event tomorrow.

Today's prompt: "Peacemaker"
The Challenge:
Every few days over the next few weeks, we'll be posting "one word prompts" related to the theme of Forgiveness. Today's prompt is "Peacemaker."
We challenge you to write, paint, draw, photograph, or otherwise express as that word prompts you. How long and in what style is up to you. Write an essay, poem, song, limerick, or just one line. Take a photo, make a video, paint a picture, or draw a cartoon. Post it on your own blog or on social media and share the link here in a comment. Or simply post it as a comment by itself. Or, you can send it to us, and we'll post it here.
Need a bit more inspiration? Check out Pastor Josh's sermon from last week, "Why Should I Get Involved?" In it, he approaches the book of Philemon from Paul's point-of-view. Paul was not directly involved in the conflict between Philemon and Onesimus, and yet he put himself in the midst of it as he pleaded for reconciliation.

You have to be a writer before you can be a good writer. It's about being good or at least good enough. But students don't see themselves as writers at all because they have been structurally defined as deficient. This means that a student is someone who does not write up to a certain standard of performance with academic discourse. A writer does not simply write at someone else's command but on their own initiative. So as a writer and a student you need an independent plan into which you fit into a certain given curriculum and writing assignments. That doesn't mean you should be single-minded, but rhetoric and composition needs be a place where students should realize they need to take control for their educational experience. Rhetoric and composition have become a part of how we do things since we have been young. We are eventually taught in school the types of writing we will need to use in our everyday situations to help us communicate to others for a specific purpose and effectively. This writing informs, persuades, or explains what it is we want the audience to know or come away with. R & C studies use academic essays, papers, memos, or class handouts while creative writing studies primarily create literary works. Students are not there to compare one another as writers, artists, or human beings in general. It is a way for each of us to develop our own writing style and self-expression. It builds up the individual's ability to express his or her own thoughts and technique more clearly by engaging into writing to get our mind working. "Creative writing and compositions studies… seem to operate with a distinct sense of a constituency for its teaching, an audience for its writing, and a function it performs" (Lardner, 770). Creative writing is a way to express what you feel inside your heart or the ideas that are in your head. It gives the writers a means for expressing their views of their surroundings and their world. Individuality exists in creative writing because the work is never the same as someone else's. It is a personal expression that comes from each individual writer at each individual moment. However, the true test of creativity occurs when the writing can be said to give readers an experience. For that the reason the writing is called Creative because it creates an experience in the minds of its readers. Examples of some these writing forms are: poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Each form has its own concepts involved with R & C because creative writing uses your self-expression as a big part of development than formality. Let's start off with poetry. Poetry is possibly the most comprehensive way we have of expressing ourselves. Poetry works at a deep level of emotion. "To feel emotion is at least to feel. The crime against life, the worst of all crimes, is not to feel" (MacLeish, 66). Poetry opens up your emotions and helps you express anything through the use of metaphors, images, and feelings. "Often the poet operates by suggestion and implication" as well (Adams, 11). Poetry starts in odd phrases, an image, a tune in the head, a deeply incoherent pain. The originating emotion still congests the lines or, in striving for uniqueness, the work becomes untidy, exaggerated or confused. So each property (meaning, association, weight, color, duration, shape, texture, etc.) changes as words are combined into phrases, rhythms, lines, stanzas and eventually completed poems. Out of those properties the poetry is built, even if the end cannot be entirely foreseen. In responding to what has been written; feeling it, understanding it, and extending its potential with imagination, honesty and sensitivity that very fine lines, vocal use, ample sympathies, kindness of heart and a consideration for the human condition become essential. But poetry is nothing without extended labor. "In contrast to the... Continue Reading Please join StudyMode to read the full document

It feels like a hollow space
Within a boat
Where bodies can lie
And water can fill it to drown
Long and hollow;
As if it starts from the mouth
Down to the toes
Living on the outside;
Afloat amongst all the waters of people
But so hollow
So hollow
So hollow
It feels as hollow as the willow tree branch
That fell off in mourn
Landed on the earth
On dirt and faded blooms
To see its source rooted genuinely
And yet it lies there
Hollow and unsound
Safe it feels no more
Dead it suffers now
And so hollow
So hollow
So hollow
to be continued...
LIVE everyday through love and compassion, and develop a strong sense of self. Stay CONNECTed to who you are, and to others. Listen to your feelings, your heart, and you will hear your calling. We are all connected so learn and listen to one another. And most of all just BREATHE, take in every moment, and appreciate it. Understand it--bad or good--learn from it. Listen and surrender to the world inside of you, and the world among you. LIVE OPENLY, CONNECT ALWAYS, AND REMEMBER TO BREATHE!

I chose Communication Studies because it was a practical major. I wouldn't enjoy sitting in a classroom learning things that I would not need in the real world. I knew that the skills I gained from this major were ones that I could use in many different career paths. I knew I wanted to work with people, and this was definitely the best way to learn how to effectively do that!
UNCG brings together a lot of different aspects within the Communication Studies major. You will analyze relationships in Relational Communication, talk about ethical issues in Ethical Communication, learn how to manage and survive in a corporate world in Communication in the Workplace, and even act as though you were hired as a PR associate in the most popular class, Public Relations. The professors made a huge impact on my learning experience. The professors really want to help you and will do anything they can to help you succeed in your toughest classes.
My favorite professor, Dr. Manning, is part of the reason I stayed with this major. Dr. Manning brings so much energy and joy into the classroom. She said once, "Enthusiasm is contagious," and at that moment I knew I was in the right major.

My very first childhood memory was from when I was 2 years old. I vaguely remember peeking out from around a corner as a 9 year old boy flashed me a huge smile, laughed excitedly, and eagerly started very shakily coming towards me. I quickly hid on the other side of the wall, terrified he would get to me. I walked up the stairs, clinging to my mom and as we entered his bedroom, I saw a huge metal crib. My little mind was racing and I couldn't quite understand exactly what was happening, but it all seemed frightening and "unordinary".
That was the day I met my big brother. My parents had become "skilled care providers" through the state of NJ. Cameron, a 9 year old boy with severe cerebral palsy, was our first placement. That day began a whole new life for my family and it has helped shape my perspectives, opinions, reactions, and my goals.
My initial fears of Cameron, quickly disappeared once he came to live with us. There was not a thing to fear about that incredible boy. He taught me within days that "different" is not a bad thing, and that disabled only means differently abled. We became fast friends and shared an incredible bond. Oh how I miss you big brother.
I can not even begin to tell you the impact of being raised with siblings with special needs. I adored Cameron with everything that I had. Though he never spoke a word, he listened, he watched, he loved. He didn't need to say a word. Despite any "disabilities" that he had, his soul was beautiful. He was almost ALWAYS happy and smiling and just being in the room with him could make a bad day, better.
Cameron lived with our family for over 10 years and the day we said goodbye is still one of the hardest to relive. It has been around 15 years since I last saw him. Last saw his huge smile, last was embraced in his bear hug, and last kissed him goodbye.
I miss him tremendously, and pray that wherever he is, he is still smiling and spreading joy and love.
Happy Birthday Cammie. Thank you for all of the joy you brought to my life. I love you buddy, and I always will.

Now more than ever, engaging each and every customer is critically important. As a result, marketers need a platform that enables them to dynamically and nimbly manage a growing number of customer touch points and interactions.
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) March 15, 2010
ClickSquared, a premier provider of email and cross-channel marketing solutions, today unveiled its third generation SaaS (Software as a Service) marketing platform, Click 3G. Click 3G couples robust marketing automation with delivery and execution across email, print, web, survey, SMS and social channels. Click 3G also supports real-time integration to web analytics and manned service channels, delivering unprecedented cross-channel marketing capabilities.
ClickSquared has deep experience in direct mail production, email marketing and delivery, data analytics and campaign management – the result of a series of strategic acquisitions and mergers since its founding in 1999. Click 3G consolidates and integrates the best-of-breed features and functionality from its previously channel-specific platforms and gives marketers a tightly integrated, easily orchestrated, analytics-driven cross-channel marketing and delivery capability.
Re-engineered from the ground up to support the self-service and full service cross-channel marketer equally, Click 3G:
- Allows for the easy consolidation of customer data into a single marketing data mart
- Provides robust campaign management capabilities to define target segments, audience levels, and channel treatments
- Manages and orchestrates multi-wave campaigns
- Consolidates cross-channel response tracking
- Maps highly personalized and dynamic content across the print, social, SMS and email channels, allowing the marketer to easily create, manage and track multiple content permutations within a single campaign.
"Now more than ever, engaging each and every customer is critically important. As a result, marketers need a platform that enables them to dynamically and nimbly manage a growing number of customer touch points and interactions," said ClickSquared CEO Wayne Townsend. "In addition, this comprehensive offering allows our clients to serve up real-time, multi-channel marketing campaigns in a highly-targeted, automated fashion. Never before have marketers been able to seamlessly orchestrate cross-channel programs in this manner."
Click 3G has been in production use since late 2008 and today more than 60% of ClickSquared's business has migrated to the new platform. "Our production clients run thousands of campaigns per day," said ClickSquared's Executive Vice President of Client Services Steve Morse. "ClickSquared's business objective was to move clients to the new platform without any interruption to their marketing programs – akin to swapping engines while the airplane is flying. Not only were we able to achieve that objective, but our converted clients have been able to expand their channel mix and improve their marketing results by leveraging the capabilities of Click 3G."
ClickSquared was recognized as a 'Strong Performer' in The Forrester Wave: Email Marketing Service Providers Q4 2009 (December 2009) – scoring top marks for Click 3G's systems integration capabilities, transactional messaging, enhanced functionality and its analytics services.
Highgate Hotels Achieves Strong ROI with Click 3G
Leveraging Click 3G, Highgate Hotels, a privately held hotel management company, launched a guest life-cycle marketing program for its independent luxury properties. This cross-channel program utilizes several data feeds which include information on each guest's preferences, booking behavior, and prior stay activity. Triggered communications programs welcome the guest to the hotel, offer tailored services such as on-site dining, respond to cancellations, and stimulate bookings after a decrease in stay activity. The programs have performed exceedingly well with ROIs ranging from 10:1 to 20:1 depending on the property and time of year.
"We are extremely pleased with results we've seen to date using ClickSquared's 3G platform," said Kerry Mack, vice president of revenue management at Highgate Hotels. "Not only have we been able to positively impact RevPAR (revenue per available room), but we've also seen a significant increase in efficiency because of the automation available in Click 3G."
"The top-to-bottom re-engineering effort to develop Click 3G reflects the transformation that we've seen in our clients' marketing needs," continued Townsend. "They needed an ability to personalize and orchestrate cross-channel communications at a very granular level – and then directly execute, deliver and track across those channels – along with robust self-service features. These capabilities are unique to ClickSquared: there's a fundamental difference between creating lists to be passed along to channel-specific applications and service providers, and being able to deliver across channels from within a single platform. The substantial investment we've made in Click 3G underscores our commitment to providing our customers with the tools they need to continually improve the return on their marketing investment."

This is such a crucial truth seen everywhere in the Bible! In His resurrection Christ as the last Adam became the life-giving Spirit(1 Cor. 15:45)! God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ, lived a perfect human life on earth(in which He expressed God, even though He was persecuted, criticized, and was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief), and died an all-inclusive death on the cross(He died a vicarious death for us, by His bruise we have been healed, He shed His blood for us, His blood redeemed us and brought us into the Holy of Holies – His death was so rich and all-inclusive). After His death on the cross, Christ was put in a tomb for three days – and on the third day, as prophesied by the Old Testament prophets, He was raised! In His resurrection He accomplished many things – He had a rich resurrection! In His resurrection, Christ became the life-giving Spirit, He was begotten as the Firstborn Son of God, He regenerated the believers for His Body, He was the firstborn of the dead, He became the Head of the Body, He as the grain of wheat produced many grains to be His increase and multiplication, and He obtained the preeminence over all things in the heavens and on the earth!
Out of all these accomplishments of Christ in the stage of His resurrection, today I was encouraged about the fact that Christ became the life-giving Spirit! This is such a great truth that is being recovered today – that the God-man Jesus became a life-giving Spirit to dispense, impart, and infuse life into us all the time! 1 Cor. 15:45 says,
So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul"; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.
Just as Adam became a living soul, Christ in His resurrection was transfigured and glorified to become a life-giving Spirit! No one else ever had been "pneumatized" to become "spirit" – Christ in His resurrection was changed in form to be not just a physical being but a "spiritually physical" being! Wow! After His resurrection the Lord came back to His disciples as the Spirit – not to teach them only, but to breathe Himself into them as the Spirit(John 20:19-22)! He is now like the air – pneuma(spirit) also has the meaning of air – being available to us wherever we are! Why did Christ become the life-giving Spirit? As the Spirit, He can enter into man to impart the divine life into man! Christ became a life-giving Spirit for the purpose of the propagation, for the producing, for the spreading, of the Triune God in man – through life-imparting! Now Christ as the life-giving Spirit goes along with the believers when they speak the gospel and He enters into man to regenerate man and impart the divine life into the ones who believe! Even more, after we believe, the life-giving Spirit operates in us to impart life to all the parts of our being – He made our spirit life(Rom. 8:10), He is making our soul life(Rom. 8:6), and eventually He will impart life to our mortal body(Rom. 8:11) to fill our whole being with the divine life!
There is so much to say about Christ becoming the life-giving Spirit – and He as such a One has been and is operating in mankind for the past two thousand years! Now this Christ as the life-giving Spirit can be received and enjoyed by all the human beings who open to Him and call, O Lord Jesus! Just open to Him, call on His name, and He will come in to impart life to your whole being! This life – the divine life – is the real life! When you receive the divine life you become a son of God and a member of the Body of Christ! This life grows in us, fills us, and eventually makes us beings of life – filled with the divine life! This life is so rich and so flowing that will overflow from us to the others to reach everyone around us – and give them life! Christ as the life-giving Spirit mingles Himself with our spirit and flows in and out of our being to impart life to us and to those around us! Wow, what a rich produce of Christ's resurrection – Christ became the life-giving Spirit! [sharing inspired from the Life-Study of Isaiah and the Holy Word for Morning Revival on the Crystallization-Study of Isaiah(2)] [Read this portion also in Spanish / Puede leer esta porción también en español, ¡En Su resurrección Cristo llegó a ser el Espíritu vivificante –ahora el Señor Jesús es el Espíritu!]
Thank You Lord for becoming the life-giving Spirit! Now the Lord is the Spirit! We can breathe You in! We can receive You and we can receive life – more life, more divine life! Lord, gain our cooperation with Your life-impartation! Impart more life into our soul and into our body! Fill us with Your life! Make us beings of life – persons full of the divine life! Lord, even "life" us! Keep us enjoying You, opening to You, and receiving Your life-imparting all the time! Praise You Lord for becoming the life-giving Spirit!

A potential deadly flatworm first discovered in Miami has now spread to Southwest Florida, which could wreak havoc for the state, officials say.
State officials have started an investigation on how the New Guinea flatworm made its migration from Miami to Cape Coral. A resident spotted the goo-spewing worms in a flower pot on Thursday, but apparently they have been in Cape Coral since September and "we just didn't know," WFTX reports.

Researchers believe these flatworms initially came to Florida when plants and tropical fruits were shipped to the state from the South Pacific.
"They're a dark worm with a dorsal orange stripe down the center of their back," Roy Beckford, an agriculture agent in Lee County, told WFTX.
The real problem? The worms could infect humans. If a rat ingests the worm it could be passed on to people, causing diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord and lungs, such as meningitis.
"If you have long worms, basically you start this horrible coughing. It's a parasite in your lungs that needs to be treated," Beckford said to WFTX.
Even touching the worm can be dangerous "because it actually vomits up this caustic substance that can cause problems." Beckford added.
But what officials are most worried about is the worm's environmental effects. Since they have no natural predators, the worms can destroy anything in it's path, such as trees, small creatures and vegetation, according to WFTX.
The New Guinea flatworm could also extinct other native species, Beckford said to WFTX. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission asks any resident who sees these worms to call 888-IVE-GOT1.

Item: A signed copy of "Joel and Cat Set the Story Straight"
Book Information:
Everyone knows that Joel and Cat hate each other. Then they end up partners in a writing assignment. By the second paragraph they're in the thick of an all-out tandem story war.
Then Cat's dad and Joel's mum start dating, and they can finally agree on something – it's got to stop. But will sparks fly between Joel and Cat for all the right reasons as they go about setting a few things straight?
A very funny, very clever "tandem" story but two of Australia's favourite authors.

After three years on magazines (and a dodgy Vegas wedding under her belt), Rebecca decided to have a go at writing her first novel. The Girl Most Likely is a comedy about a former travel writer who tries to put her life back together after secretly getting married in Vegas. The novel was published by UQP in March 2003 and spent 16 consecutive weeks in the Mary Ryan's Top 10. AFI award-winning Australian actress Pia Miranda (Looking for Alibrandi, Garage Days, Secret Life of Us) has optioned the film rights with Icon Films and hopes to turn the book into a feature film.
Rebecca's second novel, The Year Nick McGowan Came To Stay, is the prequel to The Girl Most Likely and was released in May 2006 in Australia and April 2008 in the US. It debuted as a stage play at Brisbane's La Boite Theatre in May 2007. Rebecca's third novel, Joel and Cat Set The Story Straight, was published in August 2007 and co-written with her good friend Nick Earls.
When she's not writing novels, Rebecca writes a weekly column for The Sunday Mail newspaper and she gives motivational talks and runs writing workshops in schools and businesses across the country. Rebecca is an Ambassador of War Child Australia and The Pyjama Foundation.
