2004 AALL Awards
Gary Eyre Lifetime Achievement Award - Vanda Salls
Vanda Salls has been active in numerous state initiatives, and encourages and supports her staff in professional development and program improvement activities. She remains keenly aware that adult basic education programs like hers report to various stakeholders: students, administrators, and state and federal agencies. Accordingly, she believes that to remain viable, adult basic education providers must demonstrate student performance gains. Likewise, she makes her faculty accountable for teaching to the organization's learning objectives. She bases these objectives on the Arizona State Standards. She then employs a combination of standardized assessments and alternative assessments to measure learner outcomes program-wide. While one man with a vision founded the Gary Tang Center, one woman now carries forth that dream with pride and dedication.
In a career spanning 30 years, Vanda Salls has worked as an elementary teacher, an adult education instructor, a lead teacher, and a program specialist for curriculum and instruction. Sixteen years ago, Gary Tang "hooked" her into teaching adult education, and it was a lucky catch for the Glendale Elementary School District's Adult Education Program. Under Vanda's direction, the Gary Tang Adult Education Center has grown into the third largest adult basic education provider in Arizona. As a result of her effective leadership style, the Center receives regular local, state, and national recognition for its exemplary programming and student performance gains. Vanda also advocates tirelessly for greater public awareness regarding the existence, function, and benefit of adult basic education programs in Arizona. She remains in regular contact with state legislators through letters, telephone calls, and meetings to keep them abreast of how programs like hers contribute to a stronger economy and less dependence on public assistance programs. She believes that all of Arizona's adult educators and administrators need to continue to work together to maintain the state's status as a recognized leader in adult basic education, instruction, and research.
Vanda strengthens and improves the profession of adult education by committing herself to lifelong learning. She recently completed a Master's Degree through Northern Arizona University while working full-time as the Center's facilitator. Her program enabled her to apply the latest in theory and practice at the Center. She also regularly attends and presents at professional development conferences. Doing so allows her to learn from other adult education professionals working in the field and then bring this knowledge back to her own organization. Vanda has contributed to the profession of adult education by openly sharing her time, knowledge, and resources. She views adult education as her life's calling and cannot imagine doing anything else. She considers herself fortunate to be one of the few people who wake up every morning and feel happy to be going to work.
Vanda cultivates sound relationships with fellow administrators and teachers. Accordingly, her peers highly regard her professionalism and expertise. As administrator for the Gary Tang Adult Education Center, Vanda has an open-door policy. On any given day, one can see a group of faculty and staff gathered eagerly outside her office waiting for an opportunity to discuss a concern, idea, or question with her, and Vanda accommodates their needs.
Lifelong Learning Advocate Award - Alyson Kay Hanson
Alyson Kay Hanson, a longtime member of AALL, is firmly committed to teaching English to adults of other languages. Her commitment is demonstrated in many different ways. She is not only just adept at teaching on all ESOL/ELAA levels, but also very skilled in adapting materials to the student's level. She is quick to ascertain where an individual student or students need/s additional assistance and immediately sets up individualized program that a student may follow at school and at home. Her students are most appreciative that Alyson allows and encourages them to share information about their respective country's culture with each other. Likewise, Alyson develops and organizes United States' cultural events for student participation. As one of her students said after an Easter egg dying/hiding event, "Now I understand why this custom, and I even got to do it! This was fun and I learned a lot about my new country."
Alyson's students are encouraged to continue their learning through Rio Salado's Transition program, GED classes or additional training/education at one of Maricopa Community College sites.
Through Alyson's membership and participation in the ABE organizations, she continues to not only learn more about ABE programs, but also shares her wealth of experience with her colleagues. As a veteran teacher, she has extensive experience in course and curriculum development. At the Learning Center, MSC, Alyson is a team player and continues to mentor new and experienced staff. She developed assessment and placement tools, administers assessment tools, maintains students records, serves as a liaison to vocation training and community social service organizations.
Alyson has over seventeen years of diverse teaching experience in English with 15 of those years committed to teaching English to students of other languages. She has taught all ESOL (ELLA) levels as well as English 061, 071, 101, 102 012, 021,RDG091, and Art History 100, 101, 102 on the community college level. Her expertise extends into areas of developing course materials, computer assisted instruction, collaboration learning, textbook selection and the integration of critical thinking skills. As she said, "Teaching ESOL demands great creativity and innovation; this is one of the reasons I enjoy it so much. My humanities background gives me the ability to design a wealth of interactive activities."
Her classroom reflects her humanities background. Her students receive a wide arrange of activities: thematic units integrating conversation, reading and writing; student presentations at holiday presentations and her well-known pot-lucks; high interest reading materials combined with vocabulary development, dictation to improve spelling and listening skills; singing songs to improve pronunciation; collaborative learning groups and partner exercises; simulations of real life situations; conversational and instructional games; computer assisted instruction; peer editing groups; contests; and field trips.
Without a doubt, Alyson's classroom is a phenomenal environment where students learn to overcome great adversity to live and work in the United States, learn its language, and to assimilate into a new culture and a new country. She makes her students feel welcome, comfortable and safe. At the same time, Alyson instills within them a desire to pursue something more than just becoming a speaker of English. She encourages them in setting educational and career goals. She coaches them on developing the necessary steps toward reaching these goals. And, finally, she helps them with the necessary research to make their educational and career goals a reality.
While Alyson has taken several foreign languages, she decided to experience the difficulties associated with learning a language that doesn't use the same alphabet as your native language. She is currently taking a course in Arabic. The insights she has gained furthers her understanding of the difficulties and challenges her Asian, Middle Eastern, and other students who are not familiar with the English alphabet experience. In the Alyson fashion, she is already developing and using activities that will help these students in particular and all of her students in general. By taking the Arabic course, Alyson puts into the action the belief that if you are going to enrich your own teaching skills, you must continue to further your own learning experience.
For Alyson, the greatest reward in teaching is seeing and hearing students progress in English and furthering their own educational and career goals, and she receives that reward daily.
Award of Excellence - Connie Armstrong
Last week Wilda Theobald asked me if she could "borrow" Connie Armstrong and have her help present a session on allowable accommodations at the upcoming joint session of program directors and GED examiners at the Institute in October. I, of course, said "yes" for Connie is extremely well versed in the subject. This is just one recent example of why I am happy to nominate Connie for the Excellence Award in Honor of Gary P. Tang.
For over twenty years Connie has been providing valuable assistance to an individual program, in addition to the Division of Adult Education. She started her adult basic education career in 1983 with the Phoenix Union High School District ABE Program as an ABE/GED facilitator. She taught classes of individualized and small group instruction. This continued until 1988.
In 1988 Connie was made the ABE/GED Chair of the same adult education program and her duties expanded. She administered various types of adult classes including basic skills, GED preparation, computer assisted instruction, family literacy, JOBS, life skills, and job readiness. She oversaw the staff of certified adult educators. She also computerized the student records and since this was the era of SLIAG, Connie created record keeping systems to meet the requirements of the Federal Amnesty Program, no small task.
In 1998 the Phoenix Union Adult Basic Education Program joined forces with that of Rio Salado College and Connie was given the title of ABE Coordinator. In this capacity for Rio Salado College Connie has supervised instructional and support staff at the program's largest learning center where about 2000 students a year attend classes. She has also been responsible for the oversight of community class locations, and has acted as a liaison between the program administrators, teachers, students, and the community. When the program decided to develop an online GED course, Connie volunteered to take on the task. To this day she is still the main internet GED course instructor. She has always been involved in the planning and implementation of the program's professional growth activities and has helped design curriculum and classroom materials. Two years ago, when the program had to officially start giving the TABE test, we relied on Connie's experience with the TABE in determining how much and what we needed to order and how we should provide in-house training on the test. She was also put in charge of the computer lab at the learning center where she was housed.
As if this isn't enough, last year Connie was made the Workplace Coordinator and she is now charged with "selling" enough ABE, GED, and ESOL classes to employers to be able to pay her own salary and that of her workplace teachers, and to buy instructional materials for the classes. Needless to say, she has to supervise and train the instructors as well.
The instruction and staff supervision that was previously mentioned is just one way that Connie has fostered the concept of education as a lifelong process. She has gone beyond that by becoming a vital member of the management team of the Rio Salado College ABE Program. As a team member Connie has attended monthly program management meetings since 1998 at which she helps make decisions that determine how the program will be run. Her years of experience really help here. As a trainer/presenter Connie has frequently offered her services to others. For example, she helps twice a year at Rio Salado College's ABE Program in-services by holding a session with her teachers during which she shares program news and updates them on important policies. She has also been a breakout session presenter many times at the in-services.
Connie has been extremely active serving her peers at the state level. Several years ago Connie was selected as one of the original Standards Specialists by the Division of Adult Education. Since then, while others have ended their specialist duties, Connie has remained committed to continuing to provide this service to her fellow lifelong learning practitioners. In this capacity Connie has helped write the writing, social studies, and technology standards and recently renewed her role on the new Technology Task Force. She has also served on the State Conference Planning Committee.
Beyond volunteering to present at her program's in-services Connie has been seen in this role at AALL mini-conferences. Indeed, she has presented at local, regional, and national conferences.
Connie's professionalism has taken her beyond the duties of her position in the Rio Salado College ABE Program. For many years Connie has had a special interest in how to serve students with disabilities in the classroom. As a result she has pursued specialized training in this area. She has attended the NAASLN Conference, the National Association for Adults with Special Learning Needs. She has participated in multiple-day Bridges to Practice and Bridging the Gap workshops in San Francisco; very specialized training on how Learning Disabled students learn and how to teach them. Last year Connie attended an invitation-only Bridging the Gap Leadership Summit in Atlanta. This was sponsored by the American Foundation for the Blind National Literacy Center and it brought closure to the three-year Bridging the Gap project. But Connie knows knowledge is no good if it is not shared with others so she has done this many times by presenting on the topic at AALL mini-conferences. And when the ADE sponsored a Summit on Learning Accommodations Connie surely participated in it.
If you attend the AALL mini-conferences you are sure to have seen Connie sitting at the conference registration table. You see Connie has been a very active AALL board member since 1996 and was the treasurer for six years. You will also likely see her sitting at the marketing table at MPAEA Conferences since Connie became one of the two Arizona Board members of the Mountain Plains Adult Education Association in 2001 and this year began serving her second three year term. And when it was Arizona's turn to sponsor the MPAEA Conference in 2002 Connie served as the conference registrar and treasurer, a huge combined task.
In summary, when you consider how Connie Armstrong has assisted individual programs and the ADE, and how she has positively impacted the concept of lifelong learning in Arizona, how can you deny this person the Excellence Award in Honor of Gary P. Tang?
Rookie of the Year Award - Marina V. Sires
From the time she was very young, Marina V. Sires knew she wanted to teach adults and to help them make positive changes in their lives. Over the past year, her work teaching ELLA classes for RioSalado College demonstrates her dedication to students. It is the realization of her early goal. This is the career area she looked toward, became educated for, and gained specialized training to accomplish. To her teaching she brings three important qualities that significantly add to the field of Adult Education. The first is knowledge from her experience as a language learner herself. She began formal English classes at age 11 in her Russian home city. She loved learning English and learned German as well. After achieving a baccalaureate in Russia she taught these two languages at the college level there. She says she much prefers teaching in adult education, as the students are more motivated and are extremely sincere in their learning. Marina understands well the needs of her language learners firsthand. The second is Marina 's exceptional training in ELLA teaching. She uses researched, clearly thought-out practices in her teaching gained from a Master of Arts program in TESL at Northern Arizona University . From her work at NAU as a student and as a graduate teaching assistant in the Program of Intensive English there she collected many excellent tools for decision making, instructional delivery, and best practices. The employs these with skill and thoughtfulness. The third quality is Marina 's exceptional "let me help" attitude. Marina adds much value to work area problem solving, to assessment logistics, and to use of innovative technological and accountability practices. For example, she has designed a student progress tracking technique to support BEST testing. Looking at the larger picture, Marina is an excellent example of what "value added" is all about. She does all that is expected of her in a very professional manner AND she quietly adds more to ensure success of students and program development.
Marina leads by example. She is a 21st Century leader in that she models the behaviors that show others how to conduct a class, how to improve situations and how to guide students to focus on making significant progress in their English language skills. She teaches, as many do, under less than perfect circumstances. Some of her classes are held in a back cornier of the learning center where a copying machine and a noisy test-scoring machine are also located. The space is cramped and the machines have users constantly "encroaching" upon the group she is leading. Nonetheless, Marina envelops the student group in an invisible bubble of focused interaction. By her leadership she shows staff, students, and other teachers how to make learning distinctly special for students. In that teaching, Marinaprovides plentiful resources and cues for learning all of the English language skills. Her students collaborate and are able to "tune out" the distractions all around them. They enjoy their learning, and it is easy to see that Marina truly enjoys their learning as well. Importantly, Marina "has the spirit" of adult education at its best. Her leadership in this facility alone speaks of what she has to offer the field and implies that she will continue to make a difference as a maturing leader.
Marina is an excellent teacher. However, her work in the eclectic, sometimes fast changing environment of the Rio Salado Learning Center at the Maricopa Skill Center in central Phoenix is full of diversity. There is inherent diversity of tasks, of skills, of approaches to whatever comes up, and of attention to the greatly diverse student population using the learning center. Marina is adaptive and knowledgeable. She attends to the educational needs of students from different ethnic groups, at all levels of ELLA and of all ages. She serves both a night program's population and a day program's as well. She attends to multiple layers of diversity as calmly and as directly as if the process were a simple, single task. Foremost, she gives full attention to students, day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. Her manner demonstrates the certainty that she is doing what she has always wanted to be doing.
Over the past year, Marina Sires has put what she has learned as an English learner herself and what she has learned in formal training in TESL into thoughtful, purposeful, reflective practice. She makes lesson plans that include key parameters like standards, adult education theory, adult education research, and respect for the integrity and needs of learners. She has an excellent of the importance and limitations of assessment. She looks to improve the field as she continues on her path in its practice. She has good ideas about how to improve adult education for teachers as they work to improve the lives of their students. She is forward looking. With assessment becoming more and more a part of what teachers must address, Marina sees the need for teachers to have more support. She sees, as many do, that adult education requires more public support and backing than it currently receives.
Marina not only demonstrates the highest degree of professionalism in her classroom, she expresses concern over the barriers to our field that currently keep it from serving the multitude of adult learners well. She states that what she loves most about her work is that she can see that she is making a difference in people's lives. She sees that good changes are occurring. Her supervisor says that Marina has all the best qualities of a dedicated adult educator. She is an excellent team player; she works hard at everything she's assigned. She comes up with innovations naturally and without being asked. She works well with all staff members. She is a genuine "keeper" in any work environment involving adult learners. She is a monumental asset to her students in every way. Equally she is an inspiration our adult education professional communitee.

Eduard who wrote a guest blog last month about the increased research in yoga's benefits and his own personal experience handed me a Scientific Journal.
The article is about the neuroscience of meditation. It was a fascinating read.
It seems the Dalai Lama kicked off research in this area by starting the Mind & Life institute. Despite some scientists initially petitioning not to have him talk at their Society for Neuroscience (C'mon what about discovery!!) research has really snowballed. More research to do of course but so interesting.
In Buddhism there are 3 types of meditation. Focused attention, mindfulness and compassion. Each one was studied and each showed significant changes between the meditators brains and the normal group.
Focussed attention such as focusing on your breath is something we do in yoga quota during Savasana. This improved people's resilience to distractions. Sounds good for revision and work!
Mindfulness is when you let thoughts and emotions run free and just observe and note them. This made people less bothered by pain, 'increased ones ability to better control and buffer basic psysiological responses- inflammation or levels of a stress hormone'. Another study even found more telemerase in meditators brains which slows afind. This sounds great for dealing with life in general- it's not about not feeling it's just getting in control of the feelings. Sounds good for chronic pain sufferers too.
The third form was focussing on living kindness. Distinct from pure empathy- an analogy of a mother comforting her child who is ill rather than feeling the pain and being unable to help was an analogy that helped me see the difference. This is all about getting you to help everyone around you. All good then.
My long and luscious classes are there from popular demand within the Yoga Quota students and we are going to do more meditation than Savasana at the end of them. Maybe this should be on the readin list for them!!

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 9, 2015) - Exall Energy Corporation ("Exall" or the "Company") (TSX:EE)(TSX:EE.DB) announced today that, further to its February 9, 2015 and February 11, 2015 announcements, Viking Investments Group, Inc. ("Viking") has advised Exall that given the current timing, it is considering dispensing with a bridge financing arrangement as a means to retire Exall's existing facility with its current senior Canadian lender (the "Facility") in full, and instead utilize proceeds from a larger, long-term debt financing being contemplated by Viking in Mauritius with assistance from BAO Capital Sarl (the "Bond Transaction").

Editor, IGN Wrestling
DDP has appeared on several talk shows recently, mostly in promotion of his book, "Positively Page," and the movie "Ready to Rumble." After appearances on Craig Kilborn's The Late Late Show, Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, and The Roseanne Show, DDP hops over to Comedy Central to talk to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.
Jon Stewart introduces DDP as the author of "Positively Page" and a star of the movie "Ready to Rumble." They show a clip from the movie, then bring out DDP.
JS: I watched the latest PPV over the weekend, you were in a World title match and I was very disappointed, you didn't win. Why did you lose?
DDP: Well, my wife hit me with a guitar.
JS: Well that will definitely turn the tides in any match.
DDP: Yeah, she's a little upset with me right now. She thinks that she should be getting the push and she wants to go to TV Land.
JS: She's gonna go get a TV show. So, can I ask you this? What was your wife doing with a guitar at a wrestling show?
DDP: Well, it was Double J, Jeff Jarrett's guitar.
JS: Ahh, Jeff Jarrett, that sonuva.. biscuit.
DDP: Rat-faced bastard.
JS: Pencil-necked geek.
DDP: Well, we have a rematch, it's going to be on the 7th of May. It's going to be just like in the movie "Ready To Rumble", we're going to have three cages, one stacked on top of another, on top of another.
JS: Now why would you need three cages there?
DDP: Because one is just not enough!
JS: I understand.
DDP: Whoever gets to the top of cage first..
JS: the top of the cage?
DDP: It's not an easy task.
JS: Why do you guys do this to yourselves? You're gonna hurt yourselves. I don't want to sound like your mommy, but why? You're a nice man, why are you gonna break your ass for the thing at the cage?
DDP: I dunno, just because it's there. It's gonna be a great show. Unfortunately, you can't fake gravity.
JS: There's the thing, they say the matches are pre-determined¿
DDP: But boxing isn't! (VERY sarcastically, laughs)
JS: Boxing? Are you serious? (most likely equally as sarcastic)
DDP: C'mon, It's Don King.
JS: the actual physical danger in wrestling is real? As far as I can see.
DDP: Yeah, it's not the flying through the air that hurts, it's that sudden impact..
JS: Yeah, that's why I only do that in water. Are you a fan of the old school wrestlers? I used to watch guys like Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Ivan Putski. Remember the polish hammer? Me and my brother used to do that to each other. Is that how you got into it? Watching the old guys?
DDP: Yeah, since I was eight years old, I talk about this in "Positively Page"¿ (Stewart produces a copy of the book, DDP asks him to turn it around) This is the picture you're really gonna love, when I WAS eight years old.
JS: (looking at the picture) I'm sorry Opie, did I steal your lunch money? (DDP looked like Opie back then. It's true! It is!)
DDP: We don't refer to that as the "Opie picture," we refer to that as the "Howdy Doody picture."
JS: So things are going well, you're going to get the title back?
DDP: I'm gonna get it! I'm two-time champ, it's time to go for three-time.
JS: Ladies and Gentleman.. Diamond Dallas Page, the next World Heavyweight champion!

This jumper is a soft and fine-knit garment. Could be worn casually or for work, but the quality also lends it to a casual evening out. It would have been too pricey at the full price, but in the sale, was an indulgence I allowed myself.

True to size and description

Fabulous cut and quality of this top

The slightly different designs from Baukjen have become a favourite of mine. Spots make a change from plain black and with a contrasting camisole underneath it's a lovely warm winter sweater.

Great quality fun sweater, can pair with anything, a nice black skirt, trousers or dressed down with jeans.

Her first single off the album, "Cowboy Casanova", was released to country radio on September 14, 2009. The single peaked at number one on the country charts, which made Underwood the artist with the most top 10s on the country chart among solo women this decade, followed by Faith Hill and Martina McBride each with 9. In November 2009, Underwood attained total domestic album sales of 11 million and became the highest-selling American Idol album in the United States, surpassing Kelly Clarkson by approximately 600,000 units.

She won one Grammy Award that night, for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, and her song won for Best Country Song both for her hit, "Before He Cheats". Underwood also performed "Before He Cheats" on the Grammy Awards, with a more powerful vocal ending.
On February 8, 2009, Underwood, for the third year in a row, won the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Last Name", which she performed during the show, for a total of four Grammy awards in three years.

Good things come in small packages/
In case of knitting emergencies, I love to keep knitting projects in my purse. Unfortunately, since I usually shove the current project in my bag with my wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick...etc. I tend to lose a few stitches and I hate when that happens. Hense, the need for these adorable Zecca Point Protectors in the little organza pouch!
They come in two sizes; small and large - just right for almost all of my knitting needles.

For most of my life I have experienced mild depression, mood swings and anxiety and was diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder) as a teenager. Over the years I have tried just about every prescription medication available for depression, ADD and anxiety. The medications for depression didn't work for me. They made me feel cloudy and out of it, I felt like a zombie. The medications for ADD made me feel jittery and anxious and the anxiety medications made me feel tired and lethargic, and eventually more anxious. The side effects of the prescription medications far outweighed the benefits for me.
When I met my wife 10 years ago she had just started taking SAM-e for mild depression and mood swings. She told me that it really helped her feel better, more balanced, more like "herself" and gave her more energy to enjoy the day. For many years I hesitated taking SAM-e because I was taking prescription medications, even though I saw the benefits she was experiencing. Finally about 3 years ago when I stopped taking prescription medications, because of the side effects, I decided to give SAM-e a try. I started out taking 200 mg SAM-e once a day, and after about a week I noticed a positive change in my mood, energy level and focus without any side effects. I then increased my dose to 400 mg of SAM-e and noticed an even greater change. Once at 400 mg of SAM-e I not only noticed a greater change in my overall mood and energy but I also started to notice that I had less trouble concentrating and experienced less anxiety. For me SAM-e has been a tremendous help in treating depression, mood swing, mood imbalance, ADD and anxiety.
Over the years we have done extensive research and tried many different brands of SAM-e. What we found is that a lot of the SAM-e information online is very technical and the information is not provided by people who have first hand experience with SAM-e. Our goal is to provide you with the SAM-e information you need about what SAM-e is, SAM-e benefits, does SAM-e work, how SAM-e works, SAM-e side effects, SAM-e reviews, SAM-e coupons, best SAM-e brands, where you can buy SAM-e and more.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
In an example of how the internet can bring people together with shared interests or life experience, there are hundreds of groups and Twitter accounts devoted to glorifying interracial relationships. In theory, they're a celebration of love. In practice, many of them are little more than not-at-all-veiled fetishization and/or full-blown racism.
These accounts are not new, and like many other things on the internet, it's usually easy to scroll on by and not get sucked into something infuriating. But this past weekend and even as I write this, I'm watching in disgust as the hashtag #WhiteGods is being retweeted onto my Twitter timeline with alarming frequency.
#WhiteGods was started by a few young black men (according to their profiles and Twitter timelines), and it is allegedly in praise of interracial encounters with white women. The earliest tweets with the tag are just under a year old, but this weekend saw a huge surge in their activity. On my timeline, people were sharing these posts not as an endorsement, (I wouldn't follow anyone who would sincerely subscribe to this mess), but as an example of the level these people have sunk to and how pervasive it is.
First of all, I say "encounters" because searching the tag brings up far more references to sex and hooking up than anything resembling a "relationship." Hey, no shame there, I just want to be specific.
Secondly, I too am exhausted by the strict racial binary code with which interracial relationships are often discussed. We humans come in a great many more shades than just black or white; in any discussion of race I don't like to make it seem as though I think otherwise, and yet I'm aware that it happens when combating those who behave as if they do.
I read hundreds of tweets on this hashtag (so you don't have to), and the enthusiasts are young black boys/men and young white girls/women. Their frequent responses to people they call "haters," wherein they repeatedly say it's about "celebrating interracial relationships," are betrayed by the rampant commodification of people as "chocolate," and "snow bunnies."
"Snow bunny" was, once upon a time, a colloquialism for an attractive female skier or lady on the slopes. It has become a thing certain black men call white women, or a thing white women who exclusively enjoy black men call themselves. More on that in a moment, though -- here's a quick history break:
Historically, black bodies have been commodified, hyper-sexualized, and fetishized in ways that white bodies simply have not on a massive, systemic level. If that statement seems overly divisive, I'm now going to double-down and drop the S-bomb: Slavery.
However, looking at the realities of institutionalized sexism and also applying an intersectional lens, this is by no means a cut-and-dry race issue. It's a tangled web of -isms made all the more sickening by its false veneer of innocence and "celebration."
We are all free to be "down with the swirl," but so many of these people fail to see when they cross the line into racism. Many claim they could never be racist because of their preference, to which I say (again) that marrying, dating, sleeping with, or being attracted to people of another race does not mean that you cannot also hold racist beliefs.
The Mandingo fantasy is nothing new. Interracial porn has been a booming subset of the porn industry since forever. These people are not exactly breaking new ground in their ideology, but the methodology is what has me speaking out. Social media allows these images to spread like the burning wildfire that they are, with heinous repercussions.
For example; I'm not the type of person who has a strict racial preference, so I would never do this, but I wouldn't automatically see the declarations of these young ladies here on the tag as dangerous or threatening:
Now let's hear from one of the fellas:
Hmmm. I'm recoiling because I don't care for the divisiveness and I can't help but wonder '…as opposed to who, boo?' -- but I still wouldn't call these tweets themselves insidious or personally detrimental. Now let's take a look at who that guy is:
Whoa. 243 thousand followers who may read a "preference" as a message.
Then there are the memes. I only chose one because there's only so much nausea I can take, but there are SO many.
And oh how quickly the laughs devolve into pure, unmasked hatred:
A look at the timeline of the hashtag's creators shows quite a few replies to black men expressing their disdain that look like this:
From one black man to another, that is some blatant bigotry and colorism right there. But this is all about "celebration," right? Let's check out that account profile:
At close to 18 thousand followers, the Captain here isn't quite the influencer as the gentleman above, but still. That's a lot of potential eyes, favorites, and shares on this ugliness. Oh hey, he's thrown #TeamLatina in his bio (almost as an afterthought), so it's good to know he's at least open to one other ethnicity. I'm guessing his Latina #WomanCrushWednesdays will look more like Cameron Diaz than Amara La Negra.
Let's check out some of the guys claiming credit for this mess:
More young black male faces atop objectified white female bodies with sizable follower counts to witness it all.
Returning to the "snow bunny" moniker, I've witnessed the term become somewhat of a slur, with certain white women claiming it as certain black men seek them out, while snickering behind their backs at the implications of sexual subservience and ownership. In both a crude reversal of slave fantasy tropes and a nod to the old-school narrative of the black pimp specifically turning out white girls, it's taken on a highly pejorative quality that makes me cringe when I see these white girls willfully claim the epithet.
These are not young women awesomely owning their sexuality, choosing who they desire and then pursuing them. They're begging to be claimed and possessed by these jesters and digitally paraded before their social media followings.
This is a sexist tradition free of racial requirements, of course, but when race is so rigidly included, it's amazing how quickly the oppression and discrimination multiply. We get the racist comments like the ones above, as well as seemingly "celebratory" sentiments like the amount of times these girls talk about wanting to "have your mixed babies" because they're "the prettiest." This is such a common stereotype that is all about fetishization and glorification of certain physical features over other ones.
Not only does it ignore the fact that biracial children may be born with a variety of beautiful physical features beyond the "caramel latte kids" we see so often being exalted on high, but it reduces the joy of having a baby to wanting pretty shoes or a designer bag or, well… a caramel latte.
Another element worth considering is that the conversation inevitably descends into penis size, and there are also all manner of memes on this hashtag illustrating the prevailing stereotypes if you care to search. They speak for themselves.
I've written about a problematic relationship I was in with a white man before, and many other voices have as well. That's because it can be a topic fraught with tension. Hopefully, if love is meant to be, it will win out regardless of race, because love is love—best case scenario.
Worst case scenario is all of this #WhiteGirlWednesday, #WhiteBooWednesday, #SnowBunnySunday, #WhiteGods mess when it's not about saying what you like, but more about saying how much you hate yourself and people who look like you.
Just as these people are unable to exalt without denigration, unfortunately some black men and women are also unable to respond without insults. When one feels insulted, it can be easy to insult back, so it's yet another situation where we'd ideally take the high road all the time but dammit these folks are dragging us to be down and dirty.
Still, it's definitely not progress to go through the hashtag insulting the girls and calling people ugly. No one wins in this situation. The villain here is no one person or group of people. It's the dehumanization of bodies and the uplifting of white supremacy masked as cutesy crushes or the falsehood of "preference." The victims of this villainy are genuine racial progress toward equality and societal views toward loving interracial relationships.
I'm frequently torn between mentioning this type of foolishness or remaining mum and continuing to fight racism in my own ways. Don't give them more attention, I say to myself constantly. I keep thinking that at some point there will be undeniably detrimental consequences to negative attention-seeking social media behavior, but what is happening instead is deepening of these disgusting trenches of hate.
I know their knee-jerk reactions and their little defenses all too well at this point. Even as I write this, I can see them coming:
"LOL this bitch really took the time to write this whole thing"
"Salute the Gods we outchea"
"We must be doing something right"
No. No, you're doing nothing right. Nothing new, either. But I wish for you a moment of clarity, to question your own fetishization and self-loathing. Like who you like, love who you love, fuck who you want to fuck. That knows no color and I wish you all the best. But your bigoted agendas and the swinging gate they leave wide open for pure racists to lead a Klan rally through your Twitter mentions have got to go.
Racism is #NotJustSAE; you don't have to explicitly shout about hanging n*ggers and be caught on video doing it to be racist. It's huge chunks of the internet declaring black women inferior and white women volunteering to be used by the black men doing the declaring. It's #WhiteGods.
If you start a hashtag like this, give it an inflammatory name, and then actively participate in the tearing down of your people, I can't imagine the level of willful ignorance or good pussy that will help you sleep well at night. Good luck.

Hi there, my name is Leanne. My son Josh has just got a diagnosis at the beginning of January and as much as i read about autism i still don't really know a lot about it. any advice, experiences, stories would be very helpful.
Hi Leanne,
You might want to visit a couple of pages here on the site. The 'After your child's diagnosis' page, which you can find here - http://www.autism.org.uk/about/diagnosis/children/recently-diagnosed.aspx - details a lot of practical information about how to manage with school, what financial support you are entitled to, how to approach talking to your son about his ASD diagnosis. There's also a free online booklet called After Diagnosis which you can download here - http://www.autism.org.uk/products/leaflets/after-diagnosis.aspx - that has some of the same information, as well as what services and support are available to you, both from the NAS and elsewhere.
Hope this is of some use,
Best wishes,
Ross - mod
Definitely of some use. Thank you so much =)

parkrun: The Best Timed Runs to Help you Train
Are you planning to join the 2017 Vhi Women's Mini Marathon? Then think about taking it outside when you're training and try a timed run.
Timed runs are a great way to train if you're planning to challenge yourself against the clock this year and feel like exercising outdoors in the wide open space. You'll also officially log a time which will count towards your registration as a runner for the Vhi Women's Mini Marathon.
parkrun, in partnership with Vhi Healthcare, are organising free timed runs all over Ireland every weekend and rapidly becoming a global pop-up fitnesss phenomenon, popping up in many countries across the world.
There's no other movement quite like parkrun. These community-based running events promote volunteer-led physical activity and the 5km timed runs are completely free and open to everybody who wants to take part either on their own or with family or a group of friends.
parkrun Ireland first started in November 2012 when the inaugural run took place in Malahide, Co. Dublin. There have since been 5,869 events in 59 locations around Ireland with an average of over 100 people running in each. Almost 800,000 registered participants have run more than 2.5 million kilometres at parkrun Ireland events since then.
Running Together is Better
The runs take place every Saturday morning at over 55 venues with around 5,000 people of every age and ability taking part each week. Events are entirely staffed by volunteers, they're free to enter and everyone who registers gets an official time. At parkrun, running together is definitely better as runners of mixed fitness levels gather to take part, enjoy the outdoors and socialise afterwards.
A Healthy Inspiration
The beautiful parkland surroundings are the perfect setting for healthy inspiration. The idea behind the runs is that people of every ability are encouraged to take part, from those taking their first steps in running to Olympic-standard runners or just those that want to walk.
What's the Average Time for a 5k?
So what's the average run time for 5k at Ireland's parkruns? It's 29 minutes and 10 seconds. A massive 135,363 people have already achieved their personal bests at these events, availing of the opportunity for a timed run and the numbers are growing steadily.
Vhi Healthcare has a long history of supporting activities that promote healthy lifestyles and the relationship with parkrun deepens Vhi Healthcare's support of participative running. "We're committed to helping our members live longer, healthier, more positive lives and this partnership will enable us to do just that. The health benefits, both physical and mental, associated with running are unparalleled," says Declan Moran, Director Marketing and Business Development, Vhi Healthcare.
Get Going - From 4 to 14
And parkrun is not limited to adults. There's a chance to get going early and establish a lifetime of fitness. parkrun has proved so popular that there's now a great new innovation with the development of Junior parkrun. These are a series of 2k runs for children aged between 4 and 14. There are currently 7 junior parkrun events in Ireland – 4 in Dublin (Albert College, Balbriggan, St. Annes and Rush; others in Bray, Co. Wicklow; Ballina, Co. Mayo and Tralee, Co. Kerry.
It is hoped that 2017 will see junior parkrun spread to every corner of the country, to encourage children to develop a love for running at a young age.
So where is your parkrun?
If you're training for the Vhi Women's Mini Marathon or are just interested in trying out a parkrun, there are events from Bere Island to Ballincollig, from Castlebar to Clonakilty; Glengarriff to Gorey and Kilkenny to Killarney.
The full list of parkrun locations across Ireland can be viewed here.
How do you enter parkrun?
To register for a parkrun near you visit www.parkrun.ie. New registrants should select their chosen event as their home location. They then receive a personal barcode which acts as a free entry to any parkrun event worldwide.
Women can enter for the 2017 Vhi Women's Mini Marathon, which takes place in Dublin on Monday 5th June, by registering online here. For those that would like to enter by post, official application forms are available in The Herald every Wednesday and Saturday.

MAD MENTAL CRAZY! The True Life of the Fabulous Zenith, Part 2
Last week I began my in-depth look at the history of Zenith and its attached legal dispute. As before I shall add my disclaimer: that this in no way speculates on who is right and who is wrong, and that it seeks only to bring you the facts, histories and quotes at my disposal – […]
MAD MENTAL CRAZY! The True Life of the Fabulous Zenith
Once upon a time there was a comic strip named Zenith. The creators created, the publishers published, but not a contract was there to be found. 21 years later, Rebellion are going to the printers – but who owns what? Laura Sneddonhttp://www.comicbookgrrrl.com
Kirkman, Millar, and Niles gab about the creator-owned world
CBR has a nice roundtable on creator-owned comics that rounds up Robert Kirkman, Mark Millar, and Steve Niles. Since they are all "strongly for" the piece doesn't really ignite any banter, but it does allow many long, entertaining manifestos. For instance, how Millar terrorized Alan Moore when he was a teen.
Legal Right & Ethical Might Part 2 with AUDIO
On October 21st, Stephen Bissette from The Center for Cartoon Studies met up with Oliver Goodenough from The Vermont Law School to discuss Jack Kirby and his relationship with Marvel Comics. The Comics Journal put the audio up and it is a good listen with a nice James Sturm introduction

This is the first newsletter I've ever written so please bear with me!
Back in early October we bought a Saanen / Boer billy goat. Whist I was giving him his first evening dinner he decided to take the opportunity to jump over my shoulder and out of the pen. After a lengthy goat-chasing tour of the farm and beyond, Seb managed to catch hold of him by the leg and we led him back to the farm, each with a horn in our hand. We decided to name him Bolt, after the Jamaican Olympic champion. He's now enjoying being with the girls and if all goes swimmingly, our nannie goats should be kidding in March next year.
Now to talk rats. I'm afraid we've had a bit of a problem with rats recently at the farm. The numbers are under control now but a while back they were managing, despite our constant efforts to rat-proof the container, to make their way into the chick rearing room. As a result, I'm very sorry to say that about 60 per cent of November's chickens have had to be bought in from Otter Valley Poultry. The other 40 per cent are our own surplus chickens from last month, which you will find in the freezer.
We're glad to say that we're back on track for December's chickens. As is customary at Chagfarm, December's chickens will be supplied shortly before Christmas. This is because several members have requested that their chicken be fresh for Christmas dinner! If you'd like to do the same this Christmas, just let us know by emailing us on membership(at)chagfarm.org.
As for the pigs, they're having a proper frolicking in the woods at the moment, which is of course their natural habitat. There's plenty to forage at this time of year including acorns, hazelnuts, beech mast and roots.
That's all for now, and wishing you all a lovely November.
From Sylvan and all at Chagfarm.

Armory Marketplace
The Armory Marketplace, located directly behind the Armory on Main Street, is an L-shaped bank of garages which the Town of Bel Air has rehabilitated into business incubator suites. The suites are available for new and emerging businesses that have the end goal of moving to a Bel Air storefront in mind. Business incubators offer an advantage to an entrepreneur starting out as they allow a storefront opportunity with a reduced rate lease while the business owner gains an understanding of their demand level and strengthens their financial standing.
Initial planning for the project began in 2012 and the project has been underway since that time including developing the concept, receiving approval from Maryland Historical Trust and several phases of interior and exterior construction work. With the help of grant funding from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, Community Legacy Program, build-out of three of the five available suites has been completed and three of the suites are currently occupied.
Harford Artists' Association, a non-profit co-op with all artwork created by local Harford County residents, supports Harford Artists Gallery which is located in the largest of the suites and serves as a permanent tenant anchoring the north end of the Arts and Entertainment District. The gallery hosts bi-monthly exhibits which feature a wide selection of original artwork ranging from oils, watercolor, photography, pottery, glasswork, gourds, jewelry, tiles and scarves to name just a few. In addition, the gallery at Armory Marketplace also offers workshops for association members as well as the community. Additional information can be found on their website at www.artinharford.org.
Suite103 is occupied by Love Evolution Studio, a boutique yoga studio that welcomes everyone regardless of their fitness level or yoga experience. The owner envisioned a peaceful, approachable space that invites people from all ability levels to practice comfortably. The studio offers a variety of classes from fundamentals and meditation to an intense power flow. They offer sunrise classes as well as late morning and evening. There truly is something for everyone in this space.

Mises, The Ultimate Foundations of Economic Science, Ch. 10, Sec. 5
"[In] order to preserve peace, it is, as human beings are, indispensable to be ready to repel by violence any aggression, be it on the part of domestic gangsters or on the part of external foes. Thus, peaceful human cooperation, the prerequisite of prosperity and civilization, cannot exist without a social apparatus of coercion and compulsion, i.e., without a government. The evils of violence, robbery, and murder can be prevented only by an institution that itself, whenever needed, resorts to the very methods of acting for the prevention of which it is established...In cognizance of this fact some people have called government an evil, although admitting that it is a necessary evil. However, what is required to attain an end sought and considered as beneficial is not an evil in the moral connotation of this term, but a means, the price to be paid for it...Government as such is not only not an evil, but the most necessary and beneficial institution, as without it no lasting social cooperation and no civilization could be developed and preserved.
...it is a double-edged makeshift to entrust an individual or a group of individuals with the authority to resort to violence. The enticement implied is too tempting for a human being....The main political problem is how to prevent the police power from becoming tyrannical. This is the meaning of all the struggles for liberty.
...A shallow-minded school of social philosophers, the anarchists, chose to ignore the matter by suggesting a stateless organization of mankind. They simply passed over the fact that men are not angels. They were too dull to realize that in the short run an individual or a group of individuals can certainly further their own interests at the expense of their own and all other peoples' long-run interests. A society that is not prepared to thwart the attacks of such asocial and short-sighted aggressors is helpless..."

Iako Paula više nema svi će znati za nje i to zbog spomenika. U akvarijskom kompleksu je otkriven dva metra velik spomenik koji prikazuje hobotnicu na lopti sa zastavama zemalja-predstavnicama južnoafričkog Mundijala. Ono što je bizarno jest to da se u središtu lopte nalazi urna s pepelom slavnoga mekušca.

Winter Break Trips
Florida Trip
New trip for Winter Break 2018!
Florida Waters Ecology Paddle Trip
Friday, January 5th - Saturday, January 13th, 2018 (arrive in Orlando the afternoon or evening of Thursday, January 4, 2018)
This course explores the central Florida coast and the subtropical rivers of central Florida.
You'll learn:
- Outdoors Skills (stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, & snorkeling)
- Marine & Freshwater Ecology
Taught By:
- Dr. Ken Clifton, Lewis & Clark Professor and Chair of Biology
- College Outdoors Staff & Student Leaders
Trip Fee:
- $595 (covers all food, ground transportation, lodging, entry fees, and equipment)
The trip fee does not include airfare. However, if you live in the Midwest or the East, working this into your flight from Portland to your home for Winter Break, then back to Portland, adds, on average, (when we checked last winter) about $60-$90 to the total of all your flights over winter break, compared to just flying home in December and back to campus in January. In some case, the total was actually less for a flight to Orlando, and from there back to the LC campus in Portland, than the one way cost of flying back to PDX from an east coast city.
If you are heading home for Winter Break, fly home on one leg of your flight, from Portland, at the end of Fall Semester.
To arrive in Florida for the start of this course, take an inexpensive Allegiant, Jet Blue, Spirit, or other flight from your hometown to the Orlando area (MCO or SFB airports) on Thursday afternoon or evening, January 4, 2018; getting to Orlando International (MCO) or Sanford/Orlando (SFB) no later than 7:30 PM on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2018.
We will run free airport pick ups at both MCO and SFB airports on Thursday, January 4, between 1 PM and 7:30 PM.
SFB (Sanford/Orlando International Airport) is north of Orlando and is 27 miles east of our base camp for the first half of this course. Allegiant is the main domestic airline flying into SFB. MCO (Orlando International Airport) is 42 miles southeast of our base camp, on the south side of downtown Orlando.
Return to PDX (Portland) on Saturday, January 13, 2018 (make your flight for no earlier than 3:30 PM) from Orlando International Airport (MCO).
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THE ALASKA AIRLINES NONSTOP FLIGHT #727 on 1/13/2018 (leaving MCO at 3:55 PM) FROM MCO TO PDX. This is the only non stop flight to Portland from Orlando. As of Oct. 11, the price (one way) was $190.
We will have a shuttle back to campus from the Portland airport on Saturday night, Jan 13th, 2018 when that flight lands in Portland.
However, you can also take any airline you'd like out of MCO (Orlando International) on January 13th; just make sure your flight departs MCO at 3:30 PM or later on Saturday, January 13th, 2018.
It's important to understand that College Outdoors does not make the airline reservations for you, but we are glad to help you or your parents make the arrangements. This is because everyone is headed to different cities for the first part of Winter Break. You're welcome to call or email the College Outdoors office for help with your airline reservations. Please ask for the director (Joe) or the office manager (Kori).
Click here for the course syllabus.
How to Sign Up:
Register at the College Outdoors office in Templeton 244. If you're not on campus, you could also register by calling us by calling 503-768-7116 and asking for the director or office manager. A deposit of $50 (VISA, MC, check, or cash accepted) is required to hold your space from Spring 2017 until the fall. The second trip deposit ($250) is due by September 30th. If you have Federal Financial Aid, you will receive a 50% scholarship from ASLC for the cost of the course.
After Sept. 30, the full course fee is due when registering. If you cancel, you get a refund on your deposit if you or College Outdoors is able to fill your space with another student, or if someone on the waiting list for this course takes your spot. This is likely, as long as you do it early in Fall Semester, but not guaranteed.

Desert Island Episodes - Voyager Season 4.
Season 4 of Star Trek: Voyager saw a great deal of change with the departure of Kes and the arrival of Seven of Nine. But it's also safe to say that Voyager hit its full stride in season 4, with the exploration of Seven of Nine's reclaimed humanity and some of the most memorable episodes in Voyager's entire run.
In this episode of To The Journey, hosts Zachary Fruhling, Suzanne Williamson, and Kay Shaw continue their "Desert Island" series, comparing their high-stakes choices for the top three Voyager episodes from this season that they would take with them to a desert island, forsaking all other episodes from season 4 forever. Find out who's coming over for Voyager night in whose desert-island hut, and who's watching which season 4 episodes alone.

Daddy Issues.
While the crew of Voyager rightly constitute their own adopted family aboard Voyager, an important aspect of many Voyager characters' backstories is their troubled, or at least challenged, relationship with their respective fathers and father figures. From Tom Paris's sense of inadequacy in living up to Admiral Paris's expectations to The Doctor's ongoing attempt to build a relationship with his father-figure and creator, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, the crew of Voyager frequently explores the murky realm of parental and familial relations.
In this episode of To The Journey, hosts Kay Shaw, Suzanne Williamson, and Zachary Fruhling explore the complex and often troubled paternal relationships of the Voyagercrew, building new bridges and tearing down old walls along the journey!

Defending "Threshold."
The second-season episode "Threshold" is generally acknowledged to be one of the weakest episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. But in this episode of To The Journey, hosts Suzanne Williamson, Kay Shaw, and Zachary Fruhling respond to a recent challenge to give their best defense, an apologia in the classical Greek sense, of "Threshold," discussing only its merits and leaving any criticism of "Threshold" in their quarters.
From the physics of traveling at Warp 10 and occupying every point in the universe simultaneously to the importance of "Threshold" for the character development of Tom Paris and his (um, professional) relationship with Captain Janeway, find out whether "Threshold" can be salvaged from the ash heap of Delta Quadrant history and reestablished as part of the pantheon of important and valuable episodes of Star Trek: Voyager.

The Conclusion.
In this episode of To The Journey, hosts Zachary Fruhling, Kay Shaw, and Suzanne Williamson go back into the writers' room to craft the conclusion of their hypothetical Voyager feature film trilogy, The Progenitors 3: Dennis Alexio Must Die!
From the Guardian of Forever to Henry Starling, the ever-present Q, time travel, Borg nanoprobes, and love triumphant, Zachary, Kay, and Suzanne follow the crews of the Starship Voyager and the Timeship Relativity on a fantastic journey through time, space, and the human heart.

Spooky Voyager.
It's the haunting of To The Journey! In this special Halloween episode of To The Journey, hosts Kay Shaw, Zachary Fruhling, and Suzanne Williamson go in search of the scariest, spookiest, and downright creepiest episodes, moments, and imagery in all of Star Trek: Voyager. While Voyager is often considered to be a fairly lighthearted Star Trek series by comparison, Kay, Zachary, and Suzanne probe Voyager's darkest corridors to reveal the hidden maleficence lurking deep within Voyager's bowels.

New To The Journey!
If you could take three, and only three, episodes from season three of Star Trek: Voyager with you to a desert island, and not just any desert island, a desert island on a planet deep inside the Delta Quadrant 70,000 light years from home, which episodes would you choose?
In this episode of To The Journey, hosts Suzanne Williamson, Zachary Fruhling, and Kay Shaw compare their top three desert-island episode picks from season three of Star Trek: Voyager, in search of the answer to that age-old question: Who is coming over for "Coda" night?

What do you get when you cross a few Borg nanoprobes, a piece of 29th-century holographic technology, and the DNA of a Starfleet ensign? One extremely souped-up 29th-century Borg drone! But this drone also comes with a human heart, willing to sacrifice himself for the well-being of his Voyager collective.

Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres Relationship Analysis.
We see precious few genuine romantic relationships onscreen in Star Trek, and arguably the relationship between Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres is the most fully developed relationship in all of Star Trek. Over the seven-year run of Star Trek: Voyager, we see the full progression of Tom and B'Elanna's romantic relationship, from their initial status as slightly antagonistic colleagues, to their developing friendship and courtship, to their eventual marriage and the birth of their daughter, Miral.

Counselor Troi in Voyager.
Some fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation who didn't follow Voyager's seven-year trek home from the Delta Quadrant may not realize that Marina Sirtis reprised her role as Counselor Deanna Troi in three different episode of Star Trek: Voyager. Some people even (audaciously) maintain that Counselor Troi was a more sophisticated and effective counselor in Voyager as she counseled her colleague and friend, Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, than she was in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Krisannrio 'Vienna'
(The above photograph won 2nd place, in an online competition judged by Mic Martin of Dog Borstal)
Meet the beautiful Vienna (half sister to our own Tayzee)
DOB 7/10/2007 Hip scored November 2008 5:6
Bred by our friends Paula and Mike Randall, Zakasia German Shepherds.
Here is her Mum, Champion Jaseuter Ivory Lace, seen below
Here is her Dad, Champion Nikonis Colin, British Sieger winner
Both Vienna's parents are standard coated, but she is a long coat, and a gorgeous one at that !
To see the rest of this series of picures, please click on 'BUTTERCUP BABY'
Here she is still at Zakasia, aged 5 weeks...
Vienna came to Krisannrio, aged 7 weeks, she was such a beautiful baby...
Shanti was delighted at having a 'baby one' again and couldn't wait to start Mothering her...
Shanti showed infinate patience with Vienna and treated her like her own baby, a heart touching video of their fisrt meeting can be see by clicking 'CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT ?'
Vienna was another terror of a puppy, constantly poking her nose into places she shouldn't !
She needed help getting that off !!
She thought that the cats were real live toys, provided for her enjoyment and is still very much of that opinion, although our cats are old hands at dealing with enthusiastic GSD pups and nobody has ever been hurt.
Giz a bite then .....
Her ears started to go up at around 9 weeks and once up they stayed up, even during teething
Convenientely held upright here by 'Shanti cushion'
Learning to stand properley at dog club..........
Vienna is such a character, as a puppy/adolescent, she almost had a sense of humour, she was a thief and a hoarder, Chris had many tools go missing, once he worked out who was sneaking into the garage to pinch them, he always knew where to look when something went missing, she didn't destroy things, she just collected them !!
Please click 'HARVEY DOESN'T FEEL LIKE DANCING TODAY' To see Vienna in a very short video, with Harvey, a friend's dog who has grown up alongside our sheps.
Vienna, like all our girls, loves to swim, she too had an induction at Glenbrittle and then rapidly moved onto the sea and nearby lakes.
She looks very worried here doesn't she ?.......
The 'woe is me' act lasted about 10 seconds, then she was shouting her head off and thoroughly enjoying herself !!
Vienna has proved to be quite a strong character within the pack, she holds her place well, she's not a trouble maker, but she's no push over either, she still looks to Shanti as 'Mum'
Click on DON'T STOP ME NOW to see a slideshow of Vienna taken when she was one years old.
We are delighted with the way Vienna has turned out, both in looks and personality, she is a lovely looking girl with a very confident nature
Vienna is fully mature now and you can see more of her HERE in action with all our other girls
See her swimming and playing with some of the pack on the beach HERE
