The local village of Thakurdwara and all the smaller villages in the area can be visited just by walking around on your own. You will find everyone very friendly and many of the children will be desperate to practice their English with you. Thakurdwara is about 10 minutes walk from our camp and has a small internet cafe with 5 computers. The connection isn't the fastest but it is easily possible to check your email.
There are also many small stalls selling Pakora, Samosas, Tea and soft drinks.You can also get your hair cut or get a shave. Kali or any of our children can show you around some of the smaller villages near our camp and you can also see inside some of the Tharu homes. This will help you get an insight into how people live in this area, their farming practices and the kinds of domestic animals that people keep. It is also possible to cycle around or just relax and enjoy watching family life.

This is a common problem we have when going through chemo. Here is a blog post we ran a month or so ago on this subject. https://www.whatnext.com/blog/posts/12-ways-to-battle-metallic-taste-from-chemo
Breast Cancer Questions
How do you deal with the weird sense of taste during treatment?
Asked by tuninong on Sunday, April 7, 2013
How do you deal with the weird sense of taste during treatment?
16 Answers from the Community16 answers
i found that sucking on flavored sour balls helped.
good luck,
I made an agreement with my husband to eat whatever he said I had to eat. In return he promised to feed me only healthy, homemade foods in small portions. If Barry said I had to eat it, I ate it--even if it tasted like cardboard soaked in kerosene.
When I was having a hard time finding anything I could stand to drink, I found that hot water was okay for me to drink. As the cup cooled, it started tasting bad again, but a little more heat and I could tolerate more.
It seems to be highly individual what will be tolerable. Try out some things others suggested and find out if any work for you. If you can only tolerate a few things, it's okay to eat a lot of those and not too much of other things. Halfway through chemo, I found that ice cream bars were tolerable and I ate one or two a day during the rest of treatment. Mac and cheese seems to work for many.
Just hang in there. It will get better.
hi guys,
i know i have part-timers, i forget part of the time and i can be called a psyco ceramic aka crack pot but didn't this start because of a weird sense of taste or metalic taste??? i could have given answers as to what foods are good to use if you didn't feel like eating etc? ok, maybe i have kemo brain. everyone stay well lol
Lemon drops are help some. What appealed to me most were foods with intense favors: very sweet, very spicy, etc.
It's important to make sure you're drinking enough so find something you can tolerate drinking a lot of. For me, I couldn't stand drinking plain water because it tasted like sea water! Lemonade was my go-to drink during chemo.
I have been done with chemo for about 15 months. Going through it I had a huge weird sense of taste and just learned to eliminate some things. However, even though it's been 15 months I find that I still have different taste sensations for the same foods - I don't know if that will ever balance out so for the time being if it tastes good today I will eat cuz it may not taste good tomorrow.
The foods I enjoyed the most were scrambled eggs, chicken, watermelon, green grapes, Popsicles, frosted flakes or coco puffs with milk and plain 'ol water. The flavors were the worst for the first week following chemo and after that didn't seem as metallicly. I felt really aggravated when a food I liked tasted totally different. I was told to think of food as fuel for my body and nothing more. The all time worst food for me was beef. And I normally love steaks and hamburgers. I still haven't eaten one since my chemo days. Take good care now.

Question about Acer Aspire 5100 Notebook
I heve a new acer 5720 I can connect to unsecure wireless networks, but I can't connect to my own fios router. The connection drops after a few seconds. I'm running MS vista premium. Can you guys help. Thank you.
Posted by osito1 on
I have the same problem with a new 5720. I know I put the WEP in correctly. Could there be some interference/communication conflicts between eNet Management and Windows Connection Manager?
Just for clarification...I can connect to my FIOS wireless network but when I first turn on the Acer 5720 the Acer eNet Manager continues to connect and disconnect every minute or so. The connection seems to keep doing this for a period of time and then keeps a more consistent connection. I have not been happy with MS Vista in general but specifically, the connection manager as it has given me issues on my other (Sony VGN-FZ140E) laptop. I was wondering if there could be a conflict with the two wireless managers attempting to work at the same time and maybe against each other? Thanks for any help anyone has to offer. Kinda stinks buying a new laptop and not being able to connect to the Internet!
no conect
I have The Acer Aspire 5715-4713 Notebook PC, with the Acer® Gemstone chassis, gives you state-of-the-art technology and multimedia features. I cannot connect onto my fios wireless router as it drops me after a few seconds. I have never had problems with my dell or compaq laptops before and they were really old.
Please help
I have an ACER Extensa 5420-5687 and am having the same problem with my connection. It connects and disconnects me to the internet every few seconds, minutes, whatever. I have been told to disable ACER ENET Management but I cannot locate it (not uninstall, which I can locate). I was told to Start, Run "msconfig" and it should be under Startup but there is nothing named ACER Enet Management". Does anyone know where I can find this to disable it? Thanks!
I have the same problem, I have an acer 5520 i disabled the Tc/ip 6 and turned off the enet mangager nothing changed. still dropping internet. help!
My mother had the same problem on her Acer laptop, however it was a 4720z. The driver suggestion was for the 5000 series. Instead I used the "update driver" button on the "Network Adapter" page (get there by clicking on "configure" on "Wireless Network Connection Properties". The driver was updated and the problem went away. However, first I changed the "Power Management" to NOT allow the PC to turn off the WLAN to save power. Now that I am home, I looked at my PC and see that my IBM/Lenovo PC is set to allow the PC to turn off the WLAN to save power. So, I don't know which one solved the problem, however I am betting on the driver update. I'll probably call Mom to change back the power setting.
fios asked me if i had a wireless button that turns it on and off? do i? i dont know.. where would it be?
I have an Acer 5420 which had a persistent disconnection problem after startup, with either the wireless or LAN connection. It appears that the Microsoft network application would startup and make the connection, but seconds later the Acer Enet Management application would start, and its first act would be to disconnect from the Internet. Since the Microsoft network application provides every feature that I want, I choose to disable the Acer Enet Management.

Hi, too many weeks with Microsoft/HP/Verizon trying to fix this exact problem to not find someone else with the same issue. Thank google for helping me find you. TCP/IP v6 is a new protocol not supported by the FIOS Actiontec router. When I started my PC, it will find my wireless connection okay, but any interruption - phone, standby, sleep, whatever - and I could not reconnect without powering the router down and restarting. HP and Verizon tech support were useless. Found the answer to the problem through a tier-three network guru at Microsoft (yes, tier one and two at MS were useless as well). Seems to me that support/compatability should be an easy answer to give, but I digress. Go to control panel, network and sharing, and find the link to manage network connections. Right click on your wireless connection, click properties and disable TCP/IP v6.
Posted on Mar 03, 2008
Possible wireless fix for you: i have acer aspire 5100 laptop for two years. i have never had a good connection wirelessly. I did not realize it was my system until i hooked up my netgear router three days ago. i tried everything-- HOURS! the one thing that finally worked was to go into device manager and choose atheros under the network adapters. i unchecked the power saver option and now i have a firm excellent connection that has not disconnected once! --for good measure i updated the drivers and got the latest updates for vista but the fix for me was disabling the power saver option on atheros.
Posted on Apr 26, 2009
Thanks for getting back with the TCP / IP v6 solution. I was setting
this laptop up for a friend and no longer have access to the laptop I
was working on. I actually found another solution that worked for me.
It had to do with the Atheros WLAN card driver installed with the
computer. I completely uninstalled the pre-loaded Atheros driver and
reinstalled driver 220.127.116.11 for Windows Vista 32, which you can find
It is the Czech Atheros site and a little shady looking but the download was successful and as soon as I installed this driver I had no problems with dropping/losing/regaining the Internet connection.
Disabling the TCP / IP v6 settings sounds easier, but if it doesn't work for anyone, this may be this is an alternative.
Sorry for the late post but I could not find this post by searching fixya and had to wait for an email notifying me of an update.
Posted on Mar 11, 2008
This is a great site. My Acer laptop had the same problem. Minor difference from some of the above solutions. I tried disabling TCP/IP v6 and it didn't work. I deleted the network record info. Still didn't work. I then disabled Acer eNet Management and it still didn't work. I then went to http://www.atheros.cz. Found my chipset driver and then downloaded it and installed it. After installing it worked. I then reenabled Acer eNet Management and it still worked. So at least for this laptop Acer eNet Management wasn't a problem, although I would guess that turning off TCP/IP v6 is still required. My computer is the Acer 5520-5156. Acer support didn't know how to fix it. I sent it back to them at the request of tech support and then replaced the wireless network card. It still didn't work. But the driver update and turning v6 of TCP/IP did it.
Posted on Aug 02, 2008
Just wanted to thank albal for his solution... It worked for me, just got Verizon Fios and my Acer Aspire 5050 was doing exactly the same thing... I disabled the TCP v6, and now all is well. Now on to other problems with the Verizon remote, and its lack of control of the DVR!
Posted on Jun 01, 2008
It sound like the authentication has failed. make sure you have correct key.
you may need to get the laptop to 'forget' the settings it has for your network if they are incorrect. Go to your network utility and find the list of networks previously connected to. delete the record for yours.
now connect again, it will ask for the network key again because it is seeing it as new. make sure you put it in right this time.
Posted on Feb 20, 2008
After restoring a friend's Acer 5720 could'nt get the internet to work. Came across this forum and tried some of the suggestions but unfortunately didn't work, then came across the below which did :-)
In IE, click on "Tools" in the top menu bar of the browser. Then select "Internet Options" and click on the "Advanced" tab in the Internet Options window. Scroll down through the options and verify that the "TLS 1.0" checkbox is checked. Alternatively, you can check a later version of TLS such as 1.1 or 1.2. If no box is checked, check a TLS box and then click on the "Apply" button on the bottom of the window. This option ensures that all of your data transfers through the browser comply with the TLS protocol.
Hope it helps someone out.

I disabled the wireless in the actiontek router and used a netgear wireless router, also disabled the TCPv6 and now all is fine unless the FIOS goes down which happens when we have bad weather which is strange since the cables are underground
Posted on Jun 04, 2008
I had this same problem with my acer aspire 5100 and fios. I upgraded my wireless driver(free) and now everything works fine. I also uninstalled the acer e-net manager and disabled the TCP/IP v6 as someone else suggested

Hi, too many weeks with Microsoft/HP/Verizon trying to fix this exact problem to not find someone else with the same issue. Thank google for helping me find you. TCP/IP v6 is a new protocol not supported by the FIOS Actiontec router. When I started my PC, it will find my wireless connection okay, but any interruption - phone, standby, sleep, whatever - and I could not reconnect without powering the router down and restarting. HP and Verizon tech support were useless. Found the answer to the problem through a tier-three network guru at Microsoft (yes, tier one and two at MS were useless as well). Seems to me that support/compatability should be an easy answer to give, but I digress. Go to control panel, network and sharing, and find the link to manage network connections. Right click on your wireless connection, click properties and disable TCP/IP v6.

Sounds like a bad router or antenna. Try replacing the antenna or checking the connection of the antenna on the router. Have your ISP replace the router and the problem should go away.

can you pull up your router, I had this with an acer last week, I had set it up on my router then taken it to the clients house and it wouldn't work, the thing was that it never droped my router and was in the my network places several times. as soon as I realized that I deleted all of the routers and anything that wasn't supposed to be there and just went to make a new connection and bingo i worked. also don't forget the encryption key if you put one in you will need it to get on you network, good luck

Tips for a great answer:
3. In the "Network and Internet Connections" window, click on "Network Connections."
4. Once in Network Connections, right-click on the wireless connection then select "View available wireless networks"
5. If the wireless network is a secured network, please refer to the manual of the wireless router to make it unsecured for the purpose of testing the wireless network.
NOTE: Acer does not recommend leaving a wireless network unsecured and is not responsible for data accessed due to unsecured wireless networks.
6. If the wireless network is listed, the wireless adapter is functioning properly. If unable to connect to the wireless router, go through "Before you start" at the beginning of this article.

From Ohio History Central
no edit summary
Over the next sixty years, United Theological Seminary continued to grow in size and in the number of degrees that the institution offered. By the early 1970s, the seminary began to offer doctorate degrees. In 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren Church joined with the Methodist Church to create the United Methodist Church. Today, United Theological Seminary continues to educate future ministers of the United Methodist Church. In 2005, the seminary relocated to a new campus in Trotwood, Ohio. The Omega Baptist Church now owns the United Theological Seminary's former campus in Dayton.

The fashionable and swooping hood actually does more than simply catch your eye; it additionally catches the wind and creates large down-drive. The hood flanks are tall sufficient to channel air toward the middle of the hood, creating this down-pressure and the air is then channeled by means of a pair of openings on both fringe of the hood, close to the windshield. This can be a know-how that Ferrari calls the Aero Bridge.

We are created to live in community and not in isolation. Physically, we do live in a community, but spiritually, socially, and relationally, we often live our lives in isolation. We find ourselves with no one to turn to when we have a major issue that has just surfaced in our life. Living in community affords us the opportunity to more wholly experience God through close relationships as we play and pray together, as we encourage and help one another, and as we study and live out God's word together.
At our church, a small group usually consists of 7-15 attendees in various life stages who meet on a regular basis in someone's home. These communities are about establishing relationships that encourage us to grow spiritually, offer mercy towards one another in our time of need, and, as groups, be the hand of justice in our community and the world around us. These groups embody our 5 core values: biblical teaching, authentic worship, compassionate service, meaningful relationships, and an outward focus.

About Adult Education
Tennessee Adult Education division delivers educational services to adults who are over the age of 17 (unless granted an exception) lacking a high school diploma and no longer under compulsory attendance to public high school. Through Adult Basic Education classes across the state, adults are assessed to determine their level of education and provided coursework to improve their skills in math, science, social studies, reading, writing and employability. These classes are designed to equip the student with the knowledge necessary to earn a High School Equivalency Diploma and enter employment and/or postsecondary education. Adult Education also offers English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Civics classes for those individuals who need to learn to speak, read, and write the English language. In addition to the administration of the Adult Education program grant, Tennessee Division of Adult Education is also responsible for the oversight and compliance of testing-centers administering High School Equivalency exams.
Adult Education empowers individuals to become self-sufficient by providing the basic skills and knowledge necessary to complete a secondary education credential and works with individuals to help them meet their educational and career goals. We have classes in every county across the state to enhance future employment opportunities and personal growth.
Adult Education in Tennessee prepares students to be college and career ready, while earning a High School Equivalency Diploma. With a strong commitment to quality and efficient instruction that meets the needs of students, programs across the state help these students gain academic skills and credentials to transition to postsecondary education, be successful in the workplace, and contribute to their communities. English language learners have the opportunity to master oral language and reading/writing skills to better integrate into communities and workplaces and to pursue additional learning opportunities.
In Tennessee, nearly 700,000 people between the ages of 18 to 64 do not have a high school credential. By 2022 the Tennessee Department of Labor estimates 32.4% of existing jobs and 38.9% of new jobs will require some post-secondary education.
Earning your high school equivalency diploma opens doors to increased earning potential, college opportunities, and better career options. Individuals without a high school credential are more likely to be unemployed, three times as likely to live in poverty and eight times as likely to be incarcerated.
A focus on Adult Education saves money by reducing public assistance, health care and incarceration costs. Most importantly, adults are given the opportunity to improve their lives and better support their families.

Britney & her team have recently announced Brits much anticipated release of THE ONYX HOTEL Tour Live From Miami on DVD! Set to drop stores THIS JANUARY!...
Britney's highly energetic & jaw dropping Onyx Hotel Tour back in 2004 was mostly inspired by Broadway musicals, focusing on Grand Hotel, which was directed by Tommy Tune and portrayed a day in the life of the Berlin Grand Hotel in 1928. Spears said the hotel theme was inspired by having traveled so much, and was merged with the onyx stone concept. The tour was described as a "unique, mysterious hotel powered by an onyx stone, where guests who enter shine their own light into the gemstone and make their fantasies come to life. It's a vibrant, whimsical place where wondrous dreams are realized, and the darkest of secrets are revealed".
Can't wait till January?!... Watch the FULL concert HERE:
~Random Fact: Onyx Hotel Tour was originally going to be called In the Zone Tour. On February 17, 2004, a San Diego clothing manufacturer of the same name sued Spears for $10 million & banned her from using the trademark.

She and the team have a broad set of experiences with different ages of dogs, from puppies to seniors, and different challenges.
Their home is a bridge from what was to what can be. They have poured a little of their souls into each and every foster. They take the dogs at their greatest time of need and teach them love, guidance and trust. They replace the pain and despair with comfort and hope.
At only 3 years of age, Willow will have many years of running to enjoy thanks to Dr. Jack Henry and his wife and assistant, Lori Henry, who have cared for her with great compassion and skill. We are grateful for their dedication!

hey, shut up now
Do you know that there are people who are so programmed to take the contrary side of an argument, that they will defend a killer just to disagree? I recently wrote a piece that essentially said, "We should not necessarily look for justification for these murders in the influences and organizations that the killer was affiliated with. Sometimes, it's as simple and horrific as a broken, insane person murdering people because he can." A couple of people actually defended this lunatic, telling me that calling him insane was as much a label as calling him a christian, muslim, republican, democrat, etc. No, FUCKHEADS, it's not. I don't care which definition of INSANE you choose to use, any person who walks into a theater filled with innocent, defenseless people and opens fire with an assault rifle is FUCKING INSANE. There is no debate, no room for discussion, and no goddamn defending him. Do you even hear yourselves, you gigantic contrary assholes? It's okay to just shut your fucking mouths on something if the alternative is arguing in defense of a murderer. Dicks.

Presenting the initiative and discussing the zoning of Munella Mountain as a protected area
PPNEA in the frame of the Balkan Lynx Recovery Programe 3rd phase is carrying out a research study on assessing the biodiversity values of Munella Mountain area, located in Puke-Mirdite region. Munella Mountain area is a very well known for being an important habitat for the survival of a critically endangered species, Balkan Lynx, and is the only habitat in Albania where Balkan lynx are known to occur in the form of a sub-population (5-6 individuals).
Currently, a group of experts is working on assessing the biodiversity values of Munella Mountain area. To continue with a proposal for its inclusion in the strategic plan of the Ministry of Environment of Albania for its proclamation as a protected area. Based on the available facts and arguments we are working to delineate this area in question. As a result, a broad consultation process is ongoing with all stakeholders such as Ministry of Environment, National Agency of Protected Area, Regional Administration of Protected Areas, respective municipality, administrative units and local community to present the project initiative and to discus on the zoning of the area.
In the frame of this initiative three meeting have been organized with representatives of the Regional Agencies of the Protected Areas Lezhe, Shkoder and Kukes, as responsible institution for the administration of protected areas. It was presented the undertaken initiative and it was discussed about the delineation of the area in question.
The meetings resulted to be very successful and valuable suggestion, comments, and arguments have been obtained, that will directly help for designing the area in question and a positive support it was given to the initiative for continuing the work towards proclamation of Munella Mountain as a protected area. Moreover, it must be empathized the tendency and positivity that all participants during the events showed for changing and improving the situation in the Munella Mountain and ready to give their contribution on this aspect.

INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB) March 23, 2016
With heartwarming, inspiring true stories of people who have changed lives through their generosity, "World-Changing Generosity: How You Can Join the Movement of Ordinary People Making an Extraordinary Difference for Those in Need" (published by iUniverse) explains how just about anyone who wants to change the world for the better can do just that.
Authors Jim and Nancy Cotterill present research indicating that humans are hard-wired to be generous, and, when they are, it can bring great joy to their lives. They also explore how the nation's 10 largest religious and non-religious thought groups perceive generosity.

"We want readers to understand that one person can make a difference and that—at this particular point in time—their generous actions can be part of a movement that really can change the world," Jim and Nancy say.

Finally the Tour is over and Floyd Landis emerged as the next wearer of the yellow jersey after Armstrong's seven-year reign.
With the wake of Operacion Puerto, the Tour started without any clear favorite. Last year's top five in the overall classification weren't there. And so for the first time, the Tour is wide open for anyone willing to suffer and ride in the Champs Elysse with the yellow jersey.
We've been following the Tour almost everyday. Because of the lack of coverage, we were left to do our own night outs World Cup-style. We would go to a resto, order food and drinks there, and follow the live coverage via wap. Yes, you read that right - wap.
After a couple of bottomless chips downed with bottomless iced tea at Chilli's, Floyd Landis emerged as the winner of this year's tour. He got the jersey in the Alpe D' Huez only to lose it the following day and getting it back after an all-out breakaway effort in the final mountain stage and a third place in the last time trial. Add to that his "amazing" story of his degrading hip.
I'm glad that it's all over. After three weeks of intense racing that hasn't been seen in a long time, the memories of Operacion Puerto were all but forgotten. However, there is still no patron in the peloton. Landis didn't command that much respect that the likes of Merckx and Indurain has. I guess only time will tell if his colleagues will consider as that.
Vive Le Tour!

Lessons in Creativity: The Six "I"s of Innovation
In his book Creativity & Innovation, author Adrian Brown defines innovation as "the process by which an organization generates new ideas and converts them into new products, business practices, and strategies that create shareholder value."
Below is a brief summary of the Six "I"s for Innovation, which are interrelated aspects of successful innovation for an organization.
The Six "I" of Innovation
- Inspiration – The creative impulse of the imagination.
- Imagination – Our ability to see beyond what is and consider what could be.
- Ideas – The products of our original thinking.
- Insight – This happens when we see the heart of a problem or situation.
- Invention – The translation of our ideas into products and services.
- Implementation – The introduction of our inventions to a market.
Organizations that encourage these six "I"s are more successful in translating innovative initiatives into successful business outcomes.
This is an excerpt from the MindEdge Learning online course entitled Creativity in Teams and Organizations ($79).

Visually a very cool experience with this design. I love the fixed elements on the left and right, the background type is great looking too. I can't really get into the minimal amount of content that's here on the about and contact page though, i'd really like to see more type/copy worked into the design. The ability to swap from one grid style to the other is also a pretty nifty interaction.

When officers arrived, they found 46-year-old Toni Fowler and 42-year-old Martin Martinez dead inside.

Having recently run a number of FREE website critiques, I have noticed a growing trend. Many online stores tend to hide their contact details – or perhaps hide is not an accurate expression. Not displaying their contact details would be more fitting. I'm not sure if that's on purpose, but it seems to be a standard practice.
Build authority and trust
From the customer perspective, it's not doing you, as a shop owner, any favors. You should be more accessible not less. If customers cannot contact you through your site, where should they go?
You should make contacting you as straightforward as you can. If you hide your contact details, customers might think: maybe they are hiding so I can't contact them once something goes wrong. That's the impression your customers might get.
Get professional email account
Having a professional business email doesn't need to cost the earth these days, few £ a year maximum. Your domain registrar will usually offer that as an add-on. And yes, it's way better to use a professional email instead of free gmail or yahoo account.
If you cannot be accessible via phone – or like me – you work remotely, be sure to use free calling apps like Skype or FaceTime to connect with customers.
Alternatively you can outsource phone services from professional calling centers doing it for other businesses. That is the best option for larger organizations wanting to have a professional sounding representative at the end of the line.

Katie Stevens had always believed this but hadn't experienced it for herself until her cellphone began autocorrecting "haha" to "Hagar" every time she sent a text message. Katie says she recognized the word—knew it was the name of a character in the Bible—but didn't think much of it until a Google search brought Hagar back to her attention.
Katie—a 17 year-old artist living in Norfolk, VA—had always wanted to help victims of human trafficking. She herself comes from a background of domestic violence. But she didn't know how a student with no job could really do anything to make a difference. What she did know how to do was paint and so Katie began praying about how God could use this talent to end the abuse of others.
The answer? Hagar. Katie couldn't believe that the very first search hit listed when trying to figure out a way to get involved was the word she had been seeing over and over again seemingly by accident. As she read about the organization's vision—to restore its clients to wholeness—Katie just knew that this was the cause she had been looking for.
Over the next few months, she began planning a series of art shows to not only educate about the realities of trafficking and abuse locally and abroad but also to benefit groups like Hagar who are doing something about it. At her first show, she sold six or seven original pieces and raised around $350.
Building upon this initial success, Katie hopes to be able to continue to produce enough art for a personal show every three months and eventually to host an annual event in conjunction with other local artists, musicians and performers centered around an open mic format and featuring a sit-down fundraising dinner.
"You don't need a concrete job to make a lot of money in order to donate," claims Katie. As her story shows, you just need to be open to how God can use you—often creatively, unexpectedly and with a little sense of humor.

Summer Art
Sunflowers… Materials needed: Sunflower seeds, paper plates, white glue, yellow construction paper
Pour white glue into a paper plate, allowing it to spread to the edges. Have children drop in sunflower seeds in the middle of the plate. Give them large flower petals cut from yellow construction paper to go around the inside of the plate, (with one end in the glue) Let dry overnight and voila – a beautiful sunflower!
I came up with a great idea for all those CD's that come in the mail. Cover the back with felt or colored paper. Have the children decorate with anything that sparkles.. ie sequence, glitter,… Add a ribbon through the center hole and hang or add a magnet to the back. Watch them shine, shine, shine!!
Sun Catchers you'll need: wire clothes hangers, food coloring, cling wrap, and watered-down glue.
lay the cling wrap flat on the table. position the hanger on top of the cling wrap. spread glue onto area inside hanger. place drops of food coloring in area as well. fold cling wrap to completely cover both sides of hanger. let the children use their finger to spread the colors through the cling wrap. they love to see the colors mix and swirl!
Paper filter rainbows Materials: paper filters and food coloring and a squirt bottle filled with water. You take the coffee filter and lay it flat on the ground. You have the child squeeze drops of food coloring onto the coffee filter and make designs. Then spray the filter with water and the colors will run together and form a rainbow like design on the filter.
"Zippy drink" 1) 2 ripe bananas 2) 2 cups orange juice 3) 2 cups orange sherbet 4) Ice cubes 5) Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend until the consistency is one of a smoothie! 6) Taste 7) YUMMY!!! – Great summer treat :c)
Kids love to play with bubbles in the in the summer. So get out those bubbles, and make bubble prints on paper. In a margarine container mix 1/3 tempra paint, or food coloring with 2/3 liquid dishwashing detergent and a small amount of water. Have the children blow with a straw in the solution until the bubbles rise over the top of the container (don't forget to poke a pin hole in the straw so the kids wont suck up the solution) then have them place a piece of paper over the top of the solution and move it around until they have bubble prints on paper.

"Oi. Yellow. Stop standing on my toes"
The A to Z of Pop
by Jo Michelmore
I have an interesting relationship with the letters of the alphabet. Some of them I don't like. There's probably some pseudo-psychological-past-lives-childhood-trauma reason I really don't think much of the letters G or U but the reason I don't like D is probably just dumb. The thing is, why should I like it? In all my (three) names, D doesn't appear once. I have no connection to D. D is average. Which is what inspired this week's letter. I could have mentioned a d-groovy, d-gorgeous D band that was mentioned to me (and then a song that was subsequently sung to me) when discussing this pop-phabet...
...but that wouldn't go with my D is average theme, because I like that song (and honestly, who doesn't?) Instead we'll look at someone else. Someone like this...
Even if you're not old enough to remember the 90s, you know how everyone talks about them like some kind of magical time filled with amazing music of every genre? Well, it wasn't all good. Example one: Dr Alban.
Which brings me to someone Dazza liked to hang out with for a bit there in the early parts of last decade. Ol' Delta. Well, she is old now. Where is she? Replaced by someone much shorter than herself on the judging panel on The (Australian) Voice, I think this song was the turning point in her current mysterious disappearance. What was she thinking? She's tall enough as it is. Don't stand up at a piano Delta, you look like gigantor.
I suppose that should bring me to another Australian, who has also done her time on talent show judging panels. Remember that thing I said about the 90s not being all awesome? Example number two: Dannii Minogue.
Let's end on something a little odd but this is my D-amn blog post so I'll make the alphabet do whatever I want. Anyway, I was reminded of this clip by some of my fellow bloggers the other day and this here blog post was a good excuse to watch it again. Yes, not C for Celine, it's D for Dion and Celine Dion is fucking amazing. You know it and if you don't, you haven't watched this clip yet.

Wow! What at exciting day at SdS, the knighting of Simon this morning was followed by a banquet in the hall at lunch, where the mysterious disappearance of Lady Arabella took place. There has been much speculation about who has taken her and where she has gone….some of the children reported seeing a dragon and even found clues on the playground! Where is Lady Arabella and will Knight Simon save the day??
2 thoughts on "#WAKWHS2"
I found a coat hanging under the Castle what Lady Arabella was wearing! I think a girl took her because I saw long black hair at the back.
It was fun!

4 myths you might have heard about evaporative coolers
- Evaporative air conditioners use a lot of power. Evaporative air conditioners are some of the most energy efficient cooling units available in the market. They have only two working parts – a water pump and a fan. The pump brings water up to a specially designed cooling pad. The fan blows hot air through the pad and causes it to evaporate. If you have ever gotten out of a swimming pool on a windy day, you know how evaporation cools you down. The same is true of air. As the hot air evaporates the water in the pad, its temperature drops and the fan circulates it through your home. Since evaporation is a natural process, evaporative coolers only enough to operate the fan and water pump. It requires far less energy than a standard air conditioning unit. A window mounted air conditioning unit uses roughly 900 watts of power each hour.
- Evaporative coolers are expensive to run. As they use so much less power, evaproative coolers are an extremely cost effective way to make your home cool. On average, a centralised AC system costs users roughly $245.80 each year. An evaporative cooler runs for the same amount of time cost, on average $54.08 – $19.66 each year.
- Evaporative coolers are misters. Many people assume that since evaporative coolers are blowing air through moistened pads, they are generating a cloud of water droplets in the air. It is not true. All of evaporation takes place in the cooler itself. If you stood in front of it, you might not feel any mist or water droplets on your skin, just a steady stream of cold, dry areas.
- Evaporative coolers do not work in humid climates. Evaporative cooling systems cool the air most dramatically when the temperature is high and humidity is low. Under these conditions, they can drop the temperature by as much as 20 to 30 degrees, but this does not mean areas with high humidity will not feel any effects from evaporative cooling. Areas with humidity as high as 70% will still witness a significant temperature reduction, just not the wild swings you would experience in dry areas.
Those are 4 most common misconceptions about evaporative coolers. The truth is, they are efficient, inexpensive and powerful cooling systems which can do a great job to cool you down when it heats up.

Why Butt Plugs Are The Incredible Sex Toy Too Many Of Us Are Forgetting About
At age 19, I was still unfamiliar with the wide world of sex toys. I had a vibrator, a dildo, and a pair of handcuffs, but I wasn't particularly crazy about using the few toys I owned. One afternoon, as I passed by a sex toy store in the West Village, I decided to pop in and find something new. I knew I loved having my butt played with because of how delightfully sensitive my body felt when my partners fingered it, but I'd never owned a butt plug. So I immediately purchased an "anal training kit" — three graduated plugs that increased in size.
As soon as I got home, I lubed up the smallest plug, inserted it, and checked myself out in the mirror. The plug's base peeking out from between my butt cheeks looked adorable — and felt highly erotic. Sure, I could have tried using my vibrator or dildo anally, but neither of them had a flared base or stopping point on them. Not only did I run the risk of inserting my toys too far and losing them — my friend who is a hospital nurse says this happens much more often than you might think — but I also didn't think that the wide, log-like shape of my vibe or dildo would feel good anally.
A plug is designed to go in and stay in for the duration of its use. While, theoretically, you could absolutely maneuver a plug in and out if you wanted to, folks tend to use dildos for the "in-and-out" sensation. That's because plugs have a tapered shape that begins small at the top, becomes large in the middle, and tapers back down to a slim diameter at the neck of the toy right before the flared base at the bottom. The thin neck allows for the sphincter to close a bit more so that the plug can be retained inside the body and worn comfortably.
Unlike other anal toys, plugs can easily be worn over longer periods of time. Many people enjoy wearing them for the duration of their playtime, and some folks enjoy going out with a butt plug inserted all night. You can also opt to wear a plug for just a few moments.
But not all butt plugs are created equal. Even though I initially liked the plugs I purchased, I quickly learned that they were made from PVC and had a jelly-rubber core, two materials that often contain phthalates, which are chemicals used to soften plastic so it's flexible. Although pthalates are found in everything from shower curtains to plastic wrap, exposure to them has been linked to hormone disruption, so many experts don't consider sex toys that contain thembody-safe. In fact, after only a few months, my first butt plugs melted into a disgusting tar-like puddle after sitting unattended for a week or so during a warm season.
So since there's so much to learn (and love) about butt plugs, I've compiled some great reasons to try them — and a few tips for incorporating plugs into play. Whether you're new to butt stuff or have been acquainted with your bum for a while, be sure to check back, as I'll be updating this comprehensive guide with more tips and products I love.
Denise Milani The Saucy Sport Queen
Denise Milani is one of the most spectacular women of the moment, at least for one type of audience. Born in the former Czechoslovakia in 1976 is one of the most daring cover models there is, but for now has managed to keep their secrets to perfection.
Her career took off in 2005, after being discovered by the SportsbyBrooks portal, and since then has continued to climb the ranks of sexiest women in the world. Our protagonist on Sunday has not yet made the leap to the movies and television, although some time ago there were some strange and unbelievable rumors that placed her as the new Wonder woman for the dreamy and awaited Superman vs. Batman , in the end luckily The cinephiles the chosen one was Gal Gadot.
However, as we know that more than one would have liked the news to be real, Pionionatte tries to solve the problem, leaving you a gallery of the girl in question.

Case studies
'By considering current issues of science, learners increasingly develop their understanding of scientific concepts and their capacity to form informed social, moral and ethical views. They reflect upon and critically evaluate media portrayal of scientific findings.'
Curriculum for Excellence - sciences experiences and outcomes
Topical science experiences and outcomes
The table below shows Topical Science in the Curriculum for Excellence sciences experiences and outcomes. Although it is shown as a line of development, opportunities should be provided for the inclusion of topical science in all aspects of learning within the sciences.
By considering the language used at each level we can ensure progression, development of the four capacities and skills development, including the development of literacy skills.
The words highlighted in this experience and outcome provide information about the skills that will be developed by the learner.
Many of the skills are literacy skills.
I have contributed to discussions of current scientific news items to help develop my awareness of science.
SCN 1-20a
Contributing to the development of literacy skills.
Literacy is a medium through which children and young people access most information and learning. The possible approaches used in the delivery of topical science are literacy- rich and especially strong in the areas of listening and talking and reading.
Listening and talking for learning
Children and young people will engage with others in group and class discussions of topical science issues in a challenging way, at a level commensurate with their level of competence. They will learn collaboratively, explain their thinking to others and explore factors which influence and persuade them in order to think about the reliability of information.
Reading for learning
Finding, selecting, sorting, summarising and linking information from a variety of sources will be a feature of the learning experience. Understanding the differences between fact and opinion will be an important literacy skill that can be developed.
Progression in skills development will take place from early through to fourth level.
This is shown by the comparison of experiences and outcomes from two different levels.
"By encouraging young people to engage with science-related stories in the media, and equipping them to engage reflectively and critically with such stories, we are contributing to their empowerment as citizens in our increasing information rich society."
Jarman and McClune, Science Newswise, (2005)
How newspapers can be used in science
Interdisciplinary learning using newspapers
Suggestions for classroom activities are indicated in the experiences and outcomes.
Through research and discussion I have an appreciation of the contribution that individuals are making to scientific discovery and invention and the impact this has made on society.
SCN 2-20a
'You choose the news' is an interactive game developed by Dr Eleanor Gilroy at the Scottish Crop Research Institute. It allows players to create a TV news item about the impending EU chemical pesticide ban and the potential effects and solutions to this proposal. By selecting from a series of short video clips players can produce their own news item and when completed the game will tell players just how biased, or not, their news clip is.
As well as considering an area of topical science, this resource can be used to develop literacy skills and provides a topic for debate in science.
Climate Change – Choosing our tomorrows
This resource, produced by the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute, comprises of three sets of video diaries recorded by members of the same farming family living in East Lothian in 2050. It can be used as a focus for debate and discussion on an area of topical science.
Each set of diaries describes their lives in different futures depending on how we have responded to the challenges of climate change.
The purpose of the diaries is to highlight how the choices that we make today will affect how we live in the future. It can also be used to stimulate discussion on the skills required for jobs of the future and the important role of entrepreneurial activities.
The science department at Webster's High School in Kirriemuir, Angus uses science notice boards to add relevance and to link topics to real-life issues.

How to make a podcast
Science podcasts on the internet
Podcasting is a powerful way of allowing children to share their work and experiences with a potentially huge audience over the internet. Schools are increasingly using the internet to promote what they do and to celebrate the achievements of their children. Podcasting is an excellent way of exploring topical science issues. It also contributes to the development of literacy skills.
What is a podcast?
A podcast is like a radio show. However, instead of being broadcast live, a podcast is recorded and then distributed over the internet, so that you can listen to it whenever you please. There are thousands of podcasts available, ranging from general interest entertainment shows to those which focus on specific topics (eg science / computers / music / education).
You can usually listen to podcasts directly on the websites of those people who make them (see science podcasts on the internet section for examples). However, you can also "subscribe" to podcasts using software like iPodder and iTunes. These programs will automatically download the latest shows, and you can then listen to them on your computer and download them onto an mp3 player. To subscribe to a podcast, you need to know the RSS feed (this information should be on the podcaster's website). iTunes has its own directory, where you can subscribe to a show, simply by clicking the "Subscribe" button.

Podcasts for educators, schools and colleges
IntroductionThe project has been running with student teachers for the last 3 years. Students work collaboratively to plan, research and produce podcasts on topical science aimed at an S1/2 pupil audience.
Aims The project aim was to develop literacy approaches in promoting learning and teaching in the sciences.
Process The students were given the task of producing a 3 minute podcast which focused them on communicating essential information. The podcasts were submitted online and there was a time period of 48 hours where students could listen to each others podcasts and enter into an online dialogue.
Outcomes The project has developed the literacy skills of the students specifically in talking, listening, reading and writing. It has developed the students confidence in using literacy approaches in science and provided them with an insight in how ICT can be used to enrich the learning environment.

Potential benefits
Use of Glow
Community involvement
Links to the world of work and careers
Web resources
STEM Scotland
Partnership working with higher education, colleges, businesses and learned institutions can give learners insights into the world of work.
Their understanding of the opportunities available to them in the future can be broadened.
Links also provide many powerful and motivating opportunities that help to contextualise learning and give it relevance and meaning.
"Partnerships may include those with small companies, social enterprises and entrepreneurs, providing a strong link between the school and the local community, as well as larger national or international organisations. Through such partnerships, pre-school establishments, schools and colleges can benefit from additional expertise and information about the work and social environment, enabling effective, relevant and contextualised approaches to learning and teaching."
Building the Curriculum 4, skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work
Glow, the national intranet for Scotland, has the potential to enhance partnership working and give insights into the world of work.
Glow Meet is the web conferencing tool which allows people to interact using video, audio and a shared whiteboard space. An example of this being used to enhance partnership working and provide learners access to world of work, was the fulmar dissection which took place at the Seabird Centre in North Berwick. Wider participation in conferences has also been enabled through Glow, for example, the Think Darwin, Think Evolution, Think Now conference.
Glow can also be used to access resources and projects relating to career education and the world of work. An example of this is the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh project in which they worked with children and young people in schools, finding galaxies and exo-planets using real data collected by astronomers.
Seabird post mortem with Glow Meet
STEM Scotland provides information about relevant resources, organisations and activities for children, young people and their teachers. The organisation encourages interest and engagement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
STEM Scotland also manages the STEM Ambassador programme.
STEM Ambassadors come from a wide range of industry and educational establishments across the STEM disciplines. They seek to inspire young people to become the scientists of the future and bring experience of their area of expertise within the world of work.
Teachers can also use the experience to gain up to date information on new developments in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Conferences can provide children, young people and their teachers the chance to speak to scientists/employers who are working in a particular field, find out about current research, get insights into their work and learn about the career paths they have followed to get to where they are. It can also provide an insight into the diverse world of work of the many members of staff supporting the scientists.
Information about conferences that will be taking place in the near future can be found on Glow.
The 'Do something different, do science' campaign funded by Scottish Government gives examples of a wide range of career opportunities in science.
Teacher TV has videos in which researchers or businesses give insights into their work/research.
Talks by people from a range of careers including scientists and engineers.
Planet science has a large database of profiles of scientists.
Links with the local community can provide learners with insights into the world of work and assist in the delivery of aspects of topical science in an enterprising way.
Inviting parents/carers in to school to talk about their careers can be a useful source of information. It also provides an opportunity for parents/carers to become involved in the learning process.
Partnership working with local employers and businesses can be another useful link with the community as illustrated by the case study opposite.

Ways to involve the learner
Different media to communicate ideas
Topical science at early level through science stories
Useful sources
Examples of science stories
At early level, science stories can be used to introduce topical science.
Skills that can be developed are highlighted in the experience and outcome for SCN 0-20a.
I can talk about science stories to develop my understanding of science and the world around me.
SCN 0-20a
Science stories can be real or imagined. They can help children relate to the world around them, stimulating interest and questions which can be used as the starting point for discussion and investigation.
As well as appropriate items of science news from the wider world, things that happen in the children's lives and the learning establishments can provide the basis for stories.
Fictional stories that involve science that children can wonder about are a further way to stimulate learner involvement in a science topic.
A story that involves science should stimulate children to discuss, ask questions and explore. This can be done in a variety of ways.
One teacher in a primary 1/2 class stimulated the children's interest, questions and ideas at the beginning of their Schoolyard Safari topic using a clip from a cartoon.
"We started off watching A Bug Life and then had a discussion about how cartoons have some facts in them and some things that aren't true. Then in fours they discussed some statements to think about whether they were true or false. As part of a class discussion we decided what else we thought we knew and added them on cards to the true side. This then created lots of questions and ideas for when we began our mini beast safari."
By stimulating questions and discussion through a story, the learners were involved in planning and had a real reason for investigating.
After closely observing living creatures in their natural habitats the children were then able to go back and see where they had got things right, which ideas needed refinement and which needed further research.
Children's learning was given depth by the creation a safari learning area which added further challenge.

mowing the lawn in a bikini are just what my self-esteem needed.
Chris Fortuna/Esquire
Yay! It's Friday and, by God, no one could be happier about that than I am. Because I've just come to the end of a full week of brazen celebrity hussies trying to outnude each other and if I have to look at one more picture of colt legs and helium boobs I'm gonna hurl. Why, this week alone, Heidi Klum ran around a photographer's studio in nothing but underpants, Olivia Wilde breastfed her baby for the cameras and Madonna posted and then immediately deleted a crotch shot to Instagram. (A horror from which I may never fully recover.) It wouldn't be so bad if the menfolk of Hollywood would respond in kind, but none of them ever do. Except, of course, for this idiot but he doesn't even have pubes yet. And probably never will. (*squints* So he's back with the hooker, is he?)
On the bright side, my work week is over so I can say with some confidence that the most upsetting thing I'll have to look at now will be an empty bottle of gin. Hey, who put this September issue of Esquire magazine featuring an absurdly hot photo shoot of Chrissy Teigen on my desk? Editor!!! It's Friday. GIVE MY EYES A GODDAM BREAK! *flips through pages, bites cap off Bombay Sapphire bottle with teeth* Wake me up when it's Monday.
EDITOR'S NOTE: That was quite possibly your most tasteless post yet.
MY NOTE: *burps* You say that at the end of every post.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is true.
